Chapter 418: Tone
"Waterfront Dam?" The emperor looked at the Queen Mother with some surprise, very surprised that his mother would suddenly mention this matter.
The Queen Mother nodded: "Today, your brother took Zhen'er into the palace for the holiday, Zhen'er came to see me first, and inadvertently told me about it." Didn't the seaside dam in the south of the Yangtze River be blown up in that year? Later, there were many things and hectic, and in order to quell the rebellion, I couldn't take care of that end for a while. I heard that when the tide was high last summer, the people in the Chuansha Fort area suffered a lot. After you ascended the throne, you ordered someone to rebuild the dam, and several parts of the coast that were not well repaired have been repaired, and now they are all about to be completed. Your brother heard someone mention it by chance, and he remembered the past. When this dam was first built, wasn't it your brother who used to accept it? At that time, he also brought his daughter-in-law and children, and on the way, he rescued the grandchildren of Jiannanhou Mansion. If it weren't for his bad eyes the year before last, he would have wanted to go to the acceptance again, how to say that it was also a matter of his initiative, you and Zhen'er went on a trip for him, but I didn't expect to fall into the calculation of the anti-party......"
The emperor naturally remembered these things, but he was just more concerned about the attitude of King Guangping towards this matter: "Does the imperial brother want to go south?" So let Zhen'er come and talk to the queen mother? ”
"Not really." The Queen Mother replied, "Your brother just chattered a few more times, and kept saying that it was a pity that he couldn't see with his eyes, and he couldn't have a beginning and an end." When Zhen'er heard him mention it, she paid more attention and begged me privately, wanting to fulfill his father's wish, which also meant that his father would go out for a walk. I think your brother has bad eyes, but he still understands in his heart. Acceptance of this kind of thing. It's good to have someone under you to take charge, and when you're done, come back and report to him, which one is solid. Which one is cheating and slippery, your brother will know as soon as he hears it. If you're not at ease, send him a more capable deputy. With your brother's status, and a few capable people to help him, who else can fool him? Your brother has been stuffy in the capital since his eyes were broken, except for entering the palace. It's so pitiful to barely leave the house. He didn't say anything, but I as a mother saw him like this. I feel really uncomfortable. Since Zhen'er has this request, what if you agree? ”
The emperor sighed slightly: "In this way, this matter is not invited by the imperial brother, but Zhen'er's own will?" ”
The Queen Mother was a little puzzled: "Naturally, Zhen'er saw his father talking." will come to me quietly. Your royal brother doesn't say it. But the heart must also be willing. When you and Zhen'er went south to be in danger the year before last, he mentioned that if it weren't for his inconvenience, he should have gone that time, then you wouldn't have encountered such a great danger. ”
The emperor didn't know about this matter, but with the temper of King Guangping, it was indeed very likely that he and Gao Zhen's uncle and nephew would have said such things when they were suffering from the calculation of the rebel party and their whereabouts were unknown. A smile appeared on the emperor's face: "This is a trivial matter. The son was also worried about who to send to the south. This person's status can't be too low, otherwise the first two people who went back for acceptance were the emperor's brother and son. The third time is an ordinary dignitary or official, isn't it to be underestimated? Moreover, the seaside dam is also very important to Jiading, and the people sent are not identious enough, and it seems that they neglect their ancestors. The son originally wanted to choose an elder from the clan, but if the royal brother was willing to go, it would be better. The emperor's eyes are inconvenient, but his prestige is still there, and he is very familiar with the dam affairs, so he can be said to be the most suitable person. As for the specific things to be done, just leave them to the people below to do, and the son will definitely choose two capable helpers for the royal brother. It's just ......"
The Queen Mother was originally very happy to hear it, but when she finally saw the emperor's tone turn, she was a little surprised: "But what? If you are worried that your brother will not be able to resist the long journey, you can rest assured. This time you let your brother go on a big boat, the big boat is spacious and stable, and he can't walk around by himself like before, no matter how tired he is, there is a limit. Spending the winter in Jiangnan is much warmer than in the capital, and it is also good for your brother's illness. Send another imperial doctor to follow, and it will be foolproof. Besides, there's Zhen'er here. ”
The emperor suddenly laughed: "Zhen'er? What a ghost this kid is! "On weekdays, the Queen Mother is most worried about King Guangping's body, but Gao Zhen was able to persuade her to agree to King Guangping's trip in advance, and let her persuade herself to nod so actively, it was really hard work.
The Queen Mother was a little confused when she heard it: "What's the matter?" ”
The emperor smiled and said to her, "The queen mother was also hidden from him, right?" Yesterday, his son summoned Zhao Wei, the Marquis of Jiannan, and rewarded him for doing what he promised at the beginning and being admitted to the Juren. After thanking him, he said that he planned to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. The son agreed, and also mentioned that the imperial court was about to send someone to Shanghai to accept the rebuilt seaside dam, and let him go with him when the time comes, so as to help Qin Cha fight and increase his knowledge. Unexpectedly, Zhen'er entered the palace today, so he mentioned to the queen mother that he was going too. I think he must have listened to Jiannanhou's words in advance, so he came to ask his mother, right? The royal brother is now living a comfortable and leisurely life in the palace, but I am afraid that he may not have the leisure to go far away. ”
The more the Queen Mother listened, the more confused she became: "How could it be? I know that he has been friends with Jiannanhou since childhood, but he is not inseparable, right? Moreover, how could he, who had always been the most filial to his father, disregard his father's body for the sake of his own selfishness? ”
The emperor hurriedly said: "That's not it, my son thought, the imperial brother is probably indispensable to this matter, if you can go, it is naturally the best, just to relax, it doesn't hurt if you can't go." Zhen'er wanted to go, and the royal brother agreed. As the queen mother said, if you take a boat all the way, the royal brother actually can't suffer much. It's just that the son thinks that Zhen'er is also well-intentioned, if it weren't for the fact that Jiannanhou's family would go back to the south, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy to take this trip, and I don't know what idea he had in mind, but don't be abrupt. ”
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor: "Why do I think the emperor has something to say?" Even if Zhen'er wants to get along with her friends more, what's wrong with letting his father go out to relax? ”
The emperor smiled and waved his hand: "There's nothing wrong, it's just that my son remembered that Zhen'er is not too young, isn't it time to say kiss?" The people outside stared at Da Lang all day long, bent on marrying their daughter to Da Lang as a concubine, but they almost forgot that Zhen'er was the oldest of the brothers. If he doesn't marry a wife first, how can the younger brothers and sisters talk about marriage? ”
The Queen Mother slowly sat up straight. Staring at the emperor, "What do you mean...... Zhen'er wants to marry a daughter-in-law? Which girl did he have a crush on? ”
The emperor smiled: "Isn't it clear that the queen mother?" He almost didn't get the words out of his mouth. In addition to Jiannanhou Mansion, which girl does he have dealings with on weekdays? ”
The Queen Mother's eyes widened slowly: "What the emperor said is ......"
The Emperor smiled without saying a word, but nodded slightly.
The Queen Mother couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Zhen'er, this child is really ......" has such thoughts. Why don't you tell her the truth about her grandmother? And to beat around the bush...... Is it because the girl wants to follow her grandmother and brother back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and she needs to be away from Beijing for a few months, and he can't even stay for these months, so he can't run after others?
The Queen Mother was still a little sour in her old man's heart, and glanced at the emperor: "This is Zhen'er suing you?" Why wouldn't he tell me, an old grandmother? "Grandmother is better than uncle, isn't it? Besides, she had an awkward relationship with the emperor for the sake of Gao Zhen's father and son. Why doesn't the grandson understand the heart of the old grandmother?
Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly smiled and said, "Where is he willing to tell his son this?" It's just that he is not doing secrets, so that his son can see it. He's ashamed. said that he was afraid that he would scare other girls, and begged his son not to tell him to go. ”
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard it: "This kid is really ...... It turns out that he still knows how to be ashamed? ”
However, thinking of the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, the Queen Mother was a little worried: "Sister of the Zhao family." I haven't seen her before, but I know her grandmother very well, remember she was still very young, right? Is there a thirteen-year-old? ”
The emperor thought for a moment: "It seems that the age of thirteen is fourteen, and the next year will be fourteen." ”
The Queen Mother sighed: "That's also a false year." I'm afraid I'll have to wait three years to get married. This age. It's just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, why did Zhen'er fall in love with it? Thinking that the Zhao family's sons and daughters had made contributions to saving the driver, she felt that she probably understood: "Could it be the friendship that was born when the Zhao family brothers and sisters escorted your uncle and nephew all the way north?" In this way, it is also rare. ”
The emperor smiled and said, "My son also thinks it is very rare. When she got along with the Zhao family girl on a boat for nearly a month, her son also knew some of her temperament, Xu was still young, so he was more straightforward, and it was rare to be stable in case of trouble. The Queen Mother probably didn't know. When the son and Zhen'er were in distress, they happened to encounter their grandfather's boat. It was this girl who made a quick decision and set us up directly on the sea ship of a foreign merchant who was familiar with us, so that we avoided the search and arrest of the anti-party. The son heard that she helped her grandmother take care of the house at a young age, and even interrogated about the affairs of the clan from time to time, studied and practiced martial arts, and was not inferior to her brother in everything. Compared with the ladies in Beijing, she is less demure and gentle, but she is a resolute character who can support the family business. ”
The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she heard this: "Oh? In this way, if Zhen'er can marry such a daughter-in-law, she will not worry about no one taking care of the palace in the future? ”
The emperor smiled and nodded: "What's even more rare is that Zhen'er has taken a fancy to her, although the Zhao family doesn't know what it means, but Mrs. Zhao and the Marquis of Jiannan are familiar with Zhen'er, and they know that he has a good temperament, and he gets along very well, so he must be willing to marry this family." ”
Seeing that the emperor was firm, the queen mother hesitated again: "You are very much in favor of this family business?" It's just that Zhen'er himself is willing or not enough, how old is he? What can you know? Thinking that each other is childhood sweethearts, he likes other girls. You can't be hasty in your life, if you marry the wrong person, but it's a lifelong event, and if you don't miss yourself, you will also hurt other girls. ”
The queen mother is also afraid now, her eldest son King Guangping married a daughter-in-law, and the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, but the Yue family is unreliable, and almost killed her younger son and eldest grandson; Her youngest son married a daughter-in-law, and before he became the emperor, the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, but once he became the emperor, the daughter-in-law became more and more ridiculous day by day, and it even disturbed the harem of the former dynasty and the harem! The queen mother is now very cautious about the marriage of her grandchildren, for fear that she will marry the wrong daughter-in-law and cause trouble.
Again...... She glanced at the emperor, also a little uneasy. She originally hoped to marry Gao Zhen a daughter-in-law with a better family background, preferably a powerful and prosperous family, and she could help Gao Zhen in case of trouble. No matter how good Zhao Xiu is, the people in Jiannanhou's Mansion are thin, and Zhao Wei is a lone seedling, and he has not yet entered the court, so he may not be able to help Gao Zhen. If Gao Zhen got such a kin, of course the emperor would be relieved, but he was afraid that when Gao Zhen encountered difficulties in the future, no one would be able to help.
The Queen Mother couldn't say this to the emperor, but she couldn't let go of it in her heart. After the queen made a fuss, she now has more attention to her youngest son. After thinking about it, she made a decision: "I want to meet the Zhao family!" (To be continued......)
