Chapter 105
A family banquet in the palace brought down an emperor and two vassal kings.
Zhu Di and King Ning, who likes to go to the battlefield shirtless, must not be ambiguous in drinking, as Zhu Di's half-brother, King Zhou is naturally about the same.
The three middle-aged strong men threw off their arms and poured the wine as water, which was really proud.
If the wine glass doesn't work, change the big bowl!
The big bowl is not enough, go to the wine jar!
Touching the wine glass is not heroic enough, hitting the wine altar is the real hero.
Good brothers, do it to the altar, this is the brother!
The first to be unable to hold on was King Zhou, followed by King Ning, and the last was Zhu Di.
Looking at King Zhou and King Ning who slid to the bottom of the table, Zhu Di held the wine jar and smiled, sample, fight with Lao Tzu, don't faint you!
If you want to go deep into the desert back then, Lao Tzu drank the spirits as water, but you can't do it!
Princess Ning and Princess Zhou concentrated on eating, and by the way, they took care of their son and did not allow him to learn from his father, otherwise the family law would serve.
Empress Xu stood up, walked behind Zhu Di, and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Yongle turned his head, grinned, and then, in a very standard manner, fell to the ground, snoring.
Empress Xu casually withdrew her hand that was still raised in mid-air and stroked her sideburns.
It seems that she really drank too much, and she didn't need to do anything, so she fainted directly.
The three brothers of Zhu Gaochi are no longer surprised, thinking that in the Yanwang Mansion back then, when the father and emperor drank too much wine and went crazy to beat their son, it was the queen mother who went down the mountain to capture the tiger and solved it with a knife.
However, since the unforgettable whip in Wenhua Palace, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi found that compared with their father, the whip of the queen mother was more level.
Therefore, as a last resort, don't anger the queen mother. If the queen mother is angry, the consequences will be quite serious.
After solving Zhu Di, Empress Xu turned her attention to her sons.
The three Zhu Gaochi brothers shrank their necks and immediately put down their wine glasses, not drunk and didn't dare to dip it again.
The prince of Ning Wang and the prince of Zhou also sat down honestly, the queen is really mighty!
The only one who was not affected was Shen Xuan.
Pour yourself a drink, cup after cup, the eyebrows are picturesque, the clothes are in the wind, that is called a chic.
Zhu Gaochi was ashamed of himself, Zhu Gaochu admired him, and Zhu Gaosui was full of little stars.
So fearless, thumbs, thumbs!
Princess Ning and Princess Zhou's eyes swept over, a touch of deep meaning flashed in their eyes, and they both had a plan in their hearts.
Empress Xu said kindly: "Xuan'er, eat more vegetables and suppress the wine." I like this wine, and I will ask my mother to send you a few jars in your house. ”
Shen Xuan got up to thank her, and Queen Xu smiled even more kindly.
Zhu Gaochi's three brothers are blushing together, differential treatment, absolute differential treatment, in fact, Shen Xuan was born to the queen mother, they were all picked up, right?
After the family banquet, King Ning and King Zhou stayed in the palace, and the two princesses took the prince and the county lord out of the palace and returned home.
Before leaving, Princess Ning and Princess Zhou turned around and asked Queen Xu about Shen Xuan's various information, including how old he is, how much he is worth, what his personality and hobbies are, whether he is married or not, whether he has a confidante, whether his life style is passable, and so on.
Queen Xu frowned when she heard this, thinking about the intentions of the two princesses in her heart, and after a while, she suddenly realized.
Is this a match for Xuan'er?
His Majesty does plan to find a family affair for Xuan'er, but if it involves the vassal king...... Empress Xu remained silent on the surface and sent the two princesses away, but there was a drum in her heart.
Gao Xu and Gao Sui chose concubines, and the civil and military generals in the court were pulled one by one, only they chose people, who dared to pick them?
Shen Xuan is not. Hereditary marquis, and the emperor's righteous son, with great military achievements, good style of life, there have been no scandals so far, nobles, civil and military, and even vassal kings, who have daughters in the family, eighty percent have long been inquiring in secret.
The clues can be seen from the attitudes of Princess Zhou and Princess Ning.
If you don't start early, what are you waiting for?
The emperor and the queen have not shown their mouths before, and everyone is not good to open their mouths first, but now the queen has made it clear that she will choose a daughter-in-law for her son and son together, the so-called fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and her own family must always give priority, right? Even if the county lord doesn't succeed, the princess's maiden family has many good girls.
The imperial concubine must strictly restrict the rules of birth, at least until after Akihito. Zhu Yuanzhang's selection of daughters-in-law is all selected from the family of the hero, and he is also the emperor immediately, and Zhu Di is not exempt from vulgarity. What could be a better sign of closeness than a child's in-laws?
The father of the princess is a hereditary commander, and if there is no accident, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's wife are designated as meritorious heroes. Shen Xuan's family affairs naturally can't be sloppy.
What's more, marrying the emperor's righteous son basically does not involve the issue of the right to inherit the throne, which is safer and more beneficial than marrying the two princes.
Emperor Hongwu killed so many founding heroes, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang were not spared, but most of his more than 20 righteous sons lived well, either to worship the prince of Xinjiang, or to enjoy wealth and prosperity. Unlucky, like Dingyuan Marquis Shen Liang, who was involved in Lan Yu's rebellion, saved his life, and at most filled the army and did something outside. With the care of King Yan, he still lives a nourishing life.
King Yan entered Beijing and ascended to the Great Treasure, and the Marquis of Dingyuan also completely turned over.
As long as the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion does not make a big mistake, even if it cannot become the Duke of Wei, it will be no problem to get rich and safe.
It can be seen that it is absolutely impossible to marry Shen Xuan.
Empress Xu expected that Shen Xuan's family affair would have twists and turns, but the development of the situation was completely different from what she had thought before.
After sending off Princess Ning and Princess Zhou, and returning to the dormitory, I remembered the letters presented by Princess Dai and Princess An, and Queen Xu was one head and two big.
Her son is not popular, and she is worried.
Her son is too popular, and she is also worried.
It involves political-political factors, and it is related to the harmony of the royal family, and she is even more worried.
Queen Xu really took care of Shen Xuan as her own child, which made her even more annoying.
Which family should the daughter-in-law choose from?
Looking at Zhu Di who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, Queen Xu was angry, and she really wanted to wake people up and learn to roar X.
She is worried here, but the troublemaker is sleeping in the dark, what a reason!
"Your Highness," seeing that Empress Xu's face was cloudy, the female official serving asked carefully, "It's not early, do you want to rest?" ”
Empress Xu frowned lightly and pressed her forehead, "Rest." ”
The headache will be talked about tomorrow, the matter of marrying Xuan'er has leaked the rumors, which has caused a lot of trouble, not only she has a headache, the old husband and wife, if you want a headache, you must hurt together.
In the palace, Queen Xu was worried about Shen Xuan's marriage.
Outside the palace, Shen Xuan returned to the Hou Mansion, waved away the long entourage, walked out of the courtyard by moonlight, stood in front of a stone wall, jumped up, turned over the wall in three or two, and moved neatly, like a swift leopard, and jumped into the Xingningbo Mansion next door.
The level of business proficiency is comparable to that of a good hand.
The guards of the Hou Mansion who witnessed this scene opened their mouths wide, right? It must be wrong, right?
The dignified Dingyuan Marquis climbed the wall in the middle of the night, and it was the wall of Xingningbo's house that he climbed!
With the friendship between Dingyuan Marquis and Xingningbo, if you want to visit the door, can't you go directly to the door? Is it necessary?
The guards were confused, and seriously suspected that they were hallucinating due to lack of sleep.
But is it possible that more than a dozen knives licked blood, and the soldiers and men who took courage and good fighting as the benchmark collectively hallucinated?
What's more, three of them are scouts.
"Baihu, what should I do about this?"
The bearded man scratched his chin and gritted his teeth, "When you don't see anything." ”
The military man hesitated, "Is this possible?" ”
Baihu glared, "Do you have an opinion?" ”
In such a situation where common sense cannot be used, you can only be selectively blind.
Otherwise, how can this be explained? Hou Ye didn't sleep in the middle of the night and climbed the wall to play, can you listen to it?
The military man was silent, and seeing that there were still people who wanted to speak, he didn't need to do it with a hundred households, and the general flag slapped him, and the world was suddenly cleared.
In the Xingningbo Mansion, the guards on night duty saw Shen Hou Ye jumping from the wall, and their reaction was not much better than that of the guards of the Hou Mansion.
Dingyuan Hou climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, could it be that there was a secret to discuss with Xingningbo?
After the battle is over, it should not be a military secret.
Could it be the Jianwen Yu Party?
Shen Xuan glanced at the petrified Bofu guards, and his cold gaze made everyone shiver at the same time.
There is a murderous aura!
It's a no-brainer!
The guards of the Earl's Mansion thought that they had found out the truth, otherwise, they really couldn't explain the reason why a marquis went to the earl's house to climb over the wall.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan didn't plan to kill people in Meng's house, so he found the main courtyard where Meng lived, supported his hand, and continued to climb over the wall and enter the house.
In the words of later generations, this is the moment to witness the miracle.
The Marquis of Dingyuan turned over the wall of Xingningbo's house, and he turned it over twice!
The guards looked at each other, they all entered the house, and the courtyard gate was not locked, can't they go through the door?
After thinking about it again, it dawned on me.
It is said that wealthy families and noble families always have some unique hobbies that are not suitable for outsiders. There is an emperor who likes to do carpentry work, a prince who likes alchemy, and the Marquis of Dingyuan who climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, so it seems that there is no need to make such a fuss......
In the bedroom, Meng was sleeping soundly.
In the dream, after arduous struggle, he finally trampled a certain steppe wolf under his feet, and when he was smiling proudly at the results of the battle, a sense of crisis suddenly hit his heart.
Instinct prompted him to wake up as fast as he could, and when he opened his eyes, he was immediately startled.
Anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and sees a person standing on the edge of the collapse, and the pillar seems to be standing without making a sound, will be startled.
Shen ...... Ziyu? ”
He screamed tentatively, and when he saw the black shadow nodding, his frightened reason instantly returned.
Touching his back, a layer of cold sweat broke out, and he really woke up completely in love.
After calming down, a faint smell of wine wafted into his nose, thinking of the family banquet in the palace today, Meng understood what was going on.
Helplessly, he pouted, lifted the quilt, collapsed, and pressed Shen Xuan to sit on the couch, "Drink too much, right?" ”
touched Shen Xuan's ears, it was hot. Sure enough, I drank too much.
After four years of getting along, Meng didn't dare to say that he knew Shen Xuan completely, but he was very familiar with some of his habits.
As far as drinking is concerned, Shen Xuan will not get drunk easily, and he will not be drunk when he is drunk, but he will be coquettish.
That's right, just those two words, coquettish.
The first time he found out that Shen Xuan had this habit, Meng Dang was really surprised. Comparable to Columbus's discovery of the New World of America.
Fortunately, the number of times Shen Xuan has been drunk is rare, and in four years, Meng has only been fortunate to see it once.
This is the second time.
Marquis Shen came to the door in the middle of the night, still drunk, Meng Shishilang was sure that if he didn't settle him down, he wouldn't want to sleep soundly.
Opened the door, asked someone to bring rescue soup and hot water, thought about it, and called Ma Chang, who was on duty at night, "Go next door and say, Marquis Shen is here." ”
Ma Chang received the order, remembering that it was not good to slam the door in the middle of the night, so he asked someone to carry a ladder, climb up, and waved to the guards in the Hou Mansion, "Brothers, yes, this way, look this way." Uncle asked me to pass the word, and the Hou Ye is here. Seeing that the people below were silent, he added, "I didn't go through the door, I came over the wall." ”
Hou's guard: "......"
Dingyuan Hou climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, and Xingningbo's guards set up ladders in the middle of the night to shout, and the world of this world is really mysterious.
That night, Shen Xuan stayed in Meng's room.
Meng was a pillow all night, accumulating a lot of anger, and wanted to die once, but found that he couldn't move at all.
I can't move my hands, and so are my legs.
The neck can barely turn, but if you can move it, you will be bitten.
The strength is not great, and not even a mark is left.
After biting, you have to lick it.
Meng glared, is this person drunk or sober?
Before he could make out it, his mouth was gagged again.
The flames soon turned into a fire, and firewood was on the fire.
The raging fire burned all night, Meng Shishilang was promoted to a national treasure, but Shen Houye slept well.
At dawn, sunlight pours in through the cracks in the windows.
Meng Shishilang, who had two dark circles under his eyes, glared angrily at someone who had a good night's sleep, grinding his teeth.
A bite?
Or kick it down?
Either way, the consequences won't be too good.
Meng Shishilang's gaze was too hot, and the sleeping beauty slowly opened her eyes.
The black hair was scattered on the pillow, and there was a touch of laziness in his demeanor.
Just this state of mind, hangover? Fool it!
Meng: "Awake? ”
Shen Xuan: "Yes." ”
Meng: "Did you sleep well?" ”
Shen Xuan: "Very good. ”
Meng was angry, but the warmth that slid into his neck extinguished all his anger.
“…… Asleep ......"
"What?"
"With you, I can fall asleep." Shen Xuan pillowed on Meng's shoulder and hugged his waist, "Twelve Lang, tie your hair with me, okay?" ”
“…… It's a foul ......"
"Huh?"
Meng grinded his teeth, and finally couldn't help it, and his fingers - inserted - into Shen Xuan's hair, and blocked his lips fiercely.
To hell with sanity or something!
The black eyes flashed slightly, and the initiative was quickly taken away.
On the same day, Dingyuan Marquis and Xingningbo both took leave.
Emperor Yongle woke up with a hangover and saw Empress Xu, who was smiling exceptionally gently, and realized that the situation was a little wrong, and subconsciously made a very non-powerful action like covering his ears.
Empress Xu smiled more gently, and Emperor Yongle suddenly sweated like rain.
"Your Majesty, you put your hands down first, the concubine has something to say to you."
Zhu Di: "......"
"Your Majesty, it's about Xuan'er's marriage."
"Xuan'er?"
Empress Xu nodded, explained the cause and effect, and then looked at Zhu Di quietly.
"Why are there so many" Zhu Di frowned, "All of them are involved?" ”
"Except for following His Majesty all the way from Beiping, everything that can be counted has not been left behind. It may not be that he really wants to marry Xuan'er, but he thinks about the law and sends a message to the concubine. ”
Zhu Di pressed his forehead hard, his eyes were cold, "What are they trying to do?!" ”
Acting like this is not to rob his son-in-law at all, but to show him, so that he thinks that Xuan'er's influence in the court is so great that it arouses the suspicion of father and son! This is aimed at Xuan'er, wanting to get a knife from him, touching melons in Shunteng, breaking the gap, and vainly trying to suppress the generals who started from him!
He smoked all three of his sons, and he didn't let the people in the court wake up and stop. The vassal kings also coaxed, when he was the nephew with low eyes, what could he do to them?
"Your Majesty, there are those who really want to marry Xuan'er, and there are also those who take the opportunity...... What do you think about this? ”
It is a way to immediately set Shen Xuan's family affairs, but it is not the best way.
Continue to drag, who knows what kind of wind and waves will rise in the middle of the road?
Besides, the vassal king is also involved, and it can't be solved by cutting through the mess with a quick knife. Zhu Di overthrew Emperor Jianwen under the banner of Jingnan and deducted many big hats from Emperor Jianwen, one of which was to ignore the affection of relatives.
Now that he has ascended the throne, the first thing he has to do is to appease the vassal king and restore him to the vassal domain. If something goes wrong during the period, I am afraid that there will be a lot of problems. Those who sympathize with Emperor Jianwen will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and criticize Zhu Di on the throne.
Saying that a nephew doesn't care about his affection, what about being an uncle?
Emperor Jianwen's younger brother and son are still alive and well, and the guards and strength of the vassal kings have not been completely weakened, and they are all troublesome one by one.
Zhu Di is not worried that a vassal king will learn to rebel by himself, and the most powerful King Ning is detained by him.
What he feared was that someone would take the opportunity to muddy the waters and cause controversy about his succession to the throne. Argument together, and things don't play anymore.
"Leave this matter to me, the queen doesn't have to worry, if anyone mentions it, just push it directly."
"Yes."
Sweeping away the malaise of hangover, Zhu Di changed into regular clothes and went to Wenhua Hall in good spirits. He's already killed quite a few people and doesn't care about killing more. But his purpose in snatching the throne from his nephew was not to fight with a group of corrupt people all day long and fight with civil officials. He has the world in mind, always take his father's unfinished career as an example, he wants to make Siyi surrender, Fanbang to come to the court, he wants to let the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty step all over Mongolia, his time is very precious, whoever dares to stand in his way, he wants who is good-looking!
Soon, an edict was issued outside the palace, ordering Hu Guang to be read, Yang Rong to be revised, Yang Shiqi to be edited, Jin Youzi to be reviewed, and then he was admitted to Wenyuan Pavilion and participated in the maintenance of the aircraft. At this point, Zhu Di's confidential secretaries have increased from two to seven, and the power in the hands of Xie Jin and Huang Huai has been divided a lot.
Soon, Zhu Di asked Xie Jin to preside over the revision of "Ming Tai-Zu Shilu", and he repeatedly praised Xie Jin in front of the courtiers, and the degree of numbness in the language was jaw-dropping.
Xie Jin was very flattered, and the attention of the Chinese courtiers of the court began to focus on him, and every time he went to the court, he was all kinds of swords, all kinds of envy and jealousy.
Zhu Di didn't realize it at all, he still praised Xie Jin, and said that Xie Jin was the mainstay of the court.
With such a generous kindness, many generals also began to be suspicious, could it be that they should follow the example of Taisun and favor Wenchen? Just a few days later, you're about to be trampled on top of your head by a bunch of sour dices?
Zhu Gaochi, who was supported by Wenchen, did not come forward and did not express his opinion on this. In addition to being called to the hearing by my father, I studied behind closed doors from morning to night.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had nothing to say, they went to the school to have a fight when they were idle, and recently they went to the door to ask Wei Guogong for advice. After asking for advice, I will eat by the way, and then go to Xingningbo's house to Kan Dashan, and don't have a very comfortable time.
The generals who followed Zhu Di from Hebei were also very calm.
Think of Zhang Yu who was glorious in the chaotic army, Tan Yuan, who was heroic and stumbled, and then think of Xing Ningbo, who almost died.
Compared with Xie Jin, who is now praised by the Son of Heaven and can't find the north, those who have a little sympathy will look at Xie Jin with sympathy, and say: Brother, being praised by the Son of Heaven is convincing. Therefore ask yourselves for many blessings.
The attention of the courtiers was temporarily diverted, but the vassal kings were not.
Although there are those with impure intentions, there are also those who really want to marry Shen Xuan.
At this moment, Zhu Di can't help it.
It's easy to deal with crooked thoughts, and if you're really looking for a son-in-law, you can't all push them out of the door, right?
Helplessly, the monks have more porridge and less porridge, and if they respond to one family, they will disappoint other families.
Not to mention that the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, in the end they are all relatives, and before they plan to tear their faces, they will definitely not be able to say favoritism.
In case there is a dissatisfied thought in the heart, it is not conducive to the spiritual civilization construction of the Ming royal family.
Zhu Di summoned Shen Xuan, looked at the radiant Yizi, and sighed one after another.
SON, THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW, AND MY FATHER CAN'T HOLD IT.
Shen Xuan said: "There are brothers." ”
Zhu Di waved his hand, counting the main concubines and side concubines, they could only disperse a little bit of firepower, the key is that the family of the vassal king is really not easy to send. More than 90 percent of them are from the families of meritorious military generals, and they like to "convince people with force". In case there is a mother-in-law competition to rob her son-in-law, it will be very unbeautiful.
Thinking of a possibility, Zhu Di and Shen Xuan blackened together.
Halfway through the dark, Shen Xuan knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."
"You say."
"No, I can't."
"What?"
"Ministers can't do it to women. Therefore a minister could not marry a woman. ”
Needles can be heard in the hall instantly.
Zheng He bowed his head, Hou Xian bent down, they didn't hear it, Shen didn't hear it!
After a long time, Shen Xuan looked up and was stunned on the spot.
After the imperial case, the Yongle Emperor was already in tears.
"Child, I have wronged you."
Shen Xuan;?
"Don't embarrass your father, you have to be so self-defiled."
Shen Xuan: "......"
"I can't let you be so wronged!"
"Your Majesty," Shen Xuan's face was full of seriousness, "what the minister said is true. ”
"Needless to say." Zhu Di pounded his chest, his heart hurt!
"Your Majesty, my father also knew about it, so he didn't give the minister a parent."
Zhu Di: "......"
"My father lingered in the flowers, and this is also for this."
Zhu Di: "......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
"Say no more!" Zhu Di strode up to Shen Xuan and patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder, "Those bastards who forced Xuan'er to be like this, I won't let any of them go!" ”
Shen Xuan: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. ”
Zhu Di sighed with emotion: "Is it a misunderstanding?" Xuan'er's loyalty, I know the way better! ”
Shen Xuan: "......"
What does it mean to be opinionated?
Here it is.
