King Guangping's father and son only left the palace yesterday, and the time has not yet arrived so far, how can the new emperor come?

Zhao Xiu didn't have time to think about it, so he followed behind his grandmother and knelt down with his brother to welcome the new emperor. Gao Zhen also quickly rushed over from the mourning hall.

The new emperor looks a little thinner than when he was separated in Tianjin a few months ago, but his complexion is good, although he is only wearing civilian clothes, but the temperament of the whole person is different. Obviously, with a smile on his face, he is still close to King Guangping, and he treats the Zhang family with respect, but he just gives people a unique sense of majesty. Zhao Xiu thought to himself, this is not just because of the change of identity. ascended the throne as the emperor and became the king of a country, what this incident brought to the original prince probably also had an impact from the heart, right?

But that's not a bad thing. A majestic emperor, as long as he acts justly, can make people feel awe. When Emperor Daxing was alive, wasn't it because his ears were too soft and he was too easy to speak, no matter the previous dynasty or the harem, as long as he trusted the people, he could influence his thoughts at will, so he governed the country like this? If the biggest expectation of the government and opposition subjects for the new emperor is probably that he can listen to and accept advice, but also be a little more assertive, right?

The attitude of the new emperor was very kind, and when he saw his brother bowing down to greet him, he immediately stepped forward to support King Guangping: "Brother Huang is not in good health, why don't you tell me?" I still listened to the report of the imperial doctor, and only then did I know that the imperial brother fainted after returning home. These days in the palace, I have repeatedly told the imperial brother to pay attention to the maintenance of his body, but the imperial brother just doesn't listen. If he really fell ill, wouldn't he worry his brother? He turned to Gao Zhen on the side: "There is also Zhen'er." Your father is willful, why don't you report to your uncle? The word "I" is not mentioned at all, as if it is still a brother in the past.

Gao Zhen bowed his head and was silent. Although King Guangping couldn't see the expression on the new emperor's face, the expression on his face always remained calm and humble: "Let the emperor worry, the minister is just a little tired, he has already taken medicine, and he is in good spirits when he gets up early today, and there is no big problem." ”

Zhang, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu didn't expect that King Guangping was sick, and they were all taken aback. There is still some unease. If they had known he was sick, they wouldn't have come to the door at this time. Zhao Xiu specially glanced at Gao Zhen a few more times, and Gao Zhen seemed to notice it. He raised his head and shook his head at her slightly, then drooped again.

As soon as he shook his head like this, Zhao Xiu's heart settled down. Presumably, King Guangping's condition was not severe. I think so, the relationship between the two families is so close. If King Quang Binh is really sick. It's inconvenient to meet guests, so why not say it? Could it be that the Guangping Mansion and the Jiannan Marquis Mansion still have to pay attention to politeness? King Guangping was willing to see them, whether it was Gao Zhen or the head of the palace, no one stopped them, so it can be seen that there is really no problem.

Zhang didn't expect this yet, she said to King Guangping worriedly: "The prince is sick, why don't you say anything?" My wife doesn't know. And to disturb the prince. If the prince is tired and sick because he sees us, is it not the sin of our fathers and grandchildren? How does that give me peace of mind? ”

King Guangping smiled: "It's really fine. If you lie in bed all day and do nothing, you are afraid that if you are not sick, you will get sick. Zhen'er was very filial, he said that I was weak, so I would not let me see foreign guests, and the guests who came to mourn were all dealt with by him. If it weren't for the old lady coming with her two children, the Zhao family has always been close to our palace, and I wouldn't have summoned you to come in to meet you. ”

The new emperor also spoke for King Guangping this time: "Since the imperial brother said that there was nothing to do, and Zhen'er also nodded, it must be really fine." The old lady doesn't have to care, you are the benefactor of the royal family, and you came to see the royal brother, where are there so many politeness? ”

Zhang was a little relieved.

The new emperor gave everyone a seat and asked in detail about the details of King Quang Binh's fainting yesterday. It turned out that he was fasting and sleeping in the palace these days, and he had to kneel in front of the spirit of the Daxing Emperor every day, and his body was thickly dressed, often sweating, and hard, his body was not strong since he was injured, and he couldn't stand it for a long time. When he was in the palace, in order not to worry the queen mother and the new emperor, he kept holding on, and with the help of the people from the hospital, he drank ginseng soup every day, and he also supported it. As soon as he returned to the palace yesterday, he felt that he had finally arrived home and could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that as soon as this breath was relaxed, people would fall with him, which scared Gao Zhen. Fortunately, the medical officer of the palace also came back, he was a skilled doctor, diagnosed the pulse for the prince, applied a needle, and poured the medicinal soup, and the prince soon came to his senses. He will need to recuperate for a few months before he can regain the vitality he has lost during this time.

The new emperor hurriedly said: "That is the case, the imperial brother is good at home maintenance, what medicine is missing, what food you want, just tell me." If the royal brother is embarrassed to speak, Zhen'er should not let your father mess around, just go to the palace to see the queen mother, and you must take care of your father's body. There is no need to worry about the affairs of the imperial brother, although the younger brother is dull, young and has little experience, but there are several old ministers, they are all the followers left by Emperor Taizu, and the court will not be chaotic. ”

King Guangping said: "The emperor, don't be too arrogant, when you were the prince in the past, you have been trained in the six departments for many years, what has not happened?" The government affairs are also very familiar, even my father and the emperor are relieved to hand over the country to you, if you still think you are stupid, our brothers will become more and more wine bags and rice bags. Although the old ministers are capable, they are old in the end, and they are afraid that they will reach the age when they should be old after three years or two. The emperor should promote young talents and share their worries, so that the old people will not be able to relax and dare not take care of their old age. ”

Zhao Xiu's ears pricked up, thinking to himself what he was hinting at?

The new emperor immediately smiled: "Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother understands in his heart, you just have to rest in peace." If he really encountered trouble, the younger brother naturally had to come to the imperial brother for advice. You and I are siblings, in terms of blood in the world, apart from parents and children, is there anyone closer than you and me? ”

King Guangping no longer refused, smiled and lowered his head: "The ministers are only remnants, if they can still serve the emperor, it is naturally the honor of the ministers." ”

The conversation between you and me, the explicit hints, seemed to come to an end, and the new emperor began to greet Zhang, asking her when she arrived in the capital, whether she was in good health, and heard that she had an illness after the year, is there any major problem? He also asked what the situation was in the area of Shanghai after the counterinsurgency and whether the people's lives had been affected.

Zhang cautiously replied one by one. In fact, the Shanghai counterinsurgency did not set off much turmoil, because before the news of the rebellion spread, the governor of Jiangsu had already charged several felons, and if it were not for the officers and soldiers who later searched for Hong Wencheng and other fish that slipped through the net, the people would not have known that someone had rebelled. Later, with the arrest of Hong Wencheng and others, the market soon returned to peace. When the people talked about it privately, they were scolding the traitors. However, with the progress of spring sowing, and later there was an epidemic in Huzhou and Tongxiang, the people's attention was quickly diverted. When Zhang set off, no one mentioned the chaos at the beginning of the year.

The new emperor nodded when he heard this, it was a good thing that the people could remain calm, but the epidemic situation in Huzhou and Tongxiang made him frown again: "I have already seen the script presented by the local government, and the epidemic situation is strict." Emperor Taizu once left dozens of anti-epidemic standards, and I ordered Huimin pharmacies in various places to comply with them, vigorously fight the epidemic, and reduce taxes in Hudong and Hudong, hoping that the epidemic can pass quickly. ”

Headed by the king of Guangping, even Gao Zhen, Zhang's and Zhao Wei, Zhao Xiu, and a cadre of the royal palace all shouted that the emperor was merciful, and Ze was barabala. The new emperor laughed when he heard this: "It doesn't have to be like this. Emperor Daxing likes to hear this, but I don't like to listen to other people's flattery. If the epidemic passes quickly, the people of Huzhou and Tongxiang will no longer suffer, and saying such a sentence from the bottom of their hearts will be much more beautiful than saying a thousand or ten thousand sentences from others. ”

The new emperor went out of the palace, couldn't stay in the palace for too long, chatted with the king of Guangping for a while, and was about to leave, before leaving, he also praised Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu, saying that Zhao Wei was very good in the palace, and many people praised him for his humility and courtesy, so that Zhao Wei could study at home, and don't lose his martial arts, and he wanted to grow into a handsome man with both civil and military skills, and contribute to the court in the future. As for Zhao Xiu, the new emperor heard that she came to the palace for nearly a month in a row to contribute to the princess's funeral, and even knew that she did not hesitate to offend the daughter-in-law of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in order to help the father and son of King Guangping, and he joked with a smile: "This temperament of being in a hurry and not rubbing sand in her eyes is not like the granddaughter of the old lady, but like the granddaughter of the old county prince." The old county prince is the pillar of the country, and the granddaughter he gave birth to is also extraordinary. ”

The new emperor is gone, and Zhao Xiu is still speculating whether there is any special meaning in his words. In fact, although she had never met her grandfather, she generally knew what kind of person he was from her grandmother's account. It's okay to say that he has a hot temperament, but it's not allowed to rub sand in his eyes. Don't say anything else, just look at the fact that he knows what the virtue of the eldest son, husband and wife and concubine are, and he still tolerates it. It is impossible for the new emperor not to know this, so why did he say this?

King Quang Binh was already a little tired and needed to go back to his room to rest. He looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the emperor believes in the Zhao family, it won't be a bad thing." ”

Seeing that his face was tired, Zhang knew that in order to take over the car, he must have taken great pains and hurriedly persuaded him to go back to rest. However, Zhao Xiu was familiar with Gao Zhen, but he didn't have too many worries, and when he sent King Guangping back to the backyard to rest, and came back to accompany their ancestors and grandchildren, he grabbed the corner of his sleeve and asked, "What does the prince mean by that?" ”

Gao Zhen blinked: "My father said it, it's not a bad thing. ”

Zhao Xiu pulled harder: "Even if it's not a bad thing, then we have to know what's going on?" ”

Gao Zhen touched his nose helplessly: "It's really not a bad thing, now that no one in your family has entered the court as an official, your brother is far from the time to contribute to the court, just know that the emperor trusts your family, and the rest, let's talk about it later." ”

Zhao Xiu vaguely guessed, could it be that the new emperor intended to train Zhao Wei to become a cronie, or a lonely minister?

She looked at her grandmother Zhang, and then at her brother Zhao Wei, and they all showed a look of sudden realization, presumably already understood. Zhang's face showed a little worry, but Zhao Wei smiled very confidently. He just turned his head and said to Zhang, "Grandmother, shall we go home?" (To be continued......)
