Chapter 56: The Joy of the Full Moon
The time is at the tail end of midsummer, the weather is very hot and unbearable, and in the Biangong, everyone's clothes are much thinner.
In the Renming Palace, it is rare to be lively. Queen Fu, Concubine Gao, Liu Chengyun and Liu Chengxun, the two royal brothers, the eldest princess and his wife, and several uncles and families were all invited to the palace and banquet. Because of Liu Chengyou's eldest son, the full moon.
The rules in the palace are not strict, they are all relatives, and in the queen mother's bedroom, the atmosphere is very relaxed and full of warmth.
"Niangniang, look at this child, how beautiful he is." Gao hugged the prince in his arms, smiled at the corner of his lips, and said to the Queen Mother Li.
"In appearance, there are many Xiao officials, and when he grows up, he is also a handsome man." Dafu was beside him, and when he saw Gao Huaijin holding the child and reluctant to let go, he also said with a smile on the side.
Li's face was full of love, and when he saw his eldest grandson, his phoenix eyebrows were almost bent into a perfect crescent.
"Mother, let me see, after the birth of the imperial nephew, I haven't hugged it yet." Princess Yongning stepped forward and begged. took it, and then said something to set off the atmosphere: "Between the eyebrows, there is indeed some official charm. ”
The baby in swaddling clothes, with fleshy flesh and ungrown facial features, is like Liu Chengyou. But that's it. The son of the emperor, not like the emperor, who else can he be like? Maybe it's just his mother.
Liu Chengxun also went to the women's pile, and wanted to reach out to touch the prince's face with great interest, but he was hairy and dirty, and his claws were slapped off by Li.
Among the royal relatives, Liu Chengxun is the youngest, and now there is finally a younger one, who is younger than him, which makes him very excited.
"Sister, sisters-in-law can hold and touch, why can't I." Liu Chengxun said at a glance.
Liu Chengxun has resumed his old escape, and he is quite playful in the palace on weekdays. However, with the discipline of the Li family and Liu Chengyou, who is Huang's brother, they have been restrained, otherwise, they are likely to become a second ancestor under laissez-faire.
Glancing at him with disgust, Li said, "Look at your reckless movements, I don't know how important you are!" ”
However, after all, it was the child's little imperial uncle, and Li still carefully let him hug him. into his arms, he directly howled and cried, which made Liu Chengxun, who was already very gentle in his movements, a little at a loss, and soon, his immature face was "angry" and said: "This son didn't give him face to his imperial uncle!" ”
This scene made everyone present laugh. A few uncles may be publicized outside, but here, they are all very well-behaved. However, Li Ye, the uncle of the little country, saw a group of people circling around a baby, especially his sister Li, he never took his eyes off, and his heart was a little inexplicably pantothenic.
"The official family has arrived!" The shouts of the chamberlain temporarily interrupted the atmosphere in the hall.
Under the welcome of everyone, Liu Chengyou stepped into the Renming Hall quickly, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Li Hongxin, Li Hongjian, Li Hongwei and Li Ye's four uncles, who were extremely small. In the entire hall, Li's relatives accounted for more than half.
Just as the prince was happy, Liu Chengyou did not deliberately keep a straight face, but he was as solemn as usual, and his gaze swept over, with a majesty, which made people dare not look sideways. Especially Liu Chengxun, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, he was especially afraid of his imperial brother now.
Just like the full moon banquet of ordinary people, the etiquette is very simple, and nothing special is made.
The prince was wrapped in a set of wedding clothes, hats, pants, shoes and socks, and a gold talisman hung on his body to show good fortune. A group of people sit down, eat eggs, eat cakes, and eat dumplings...... In the end, eating is a good wish. It was obvious that since Liu Chengyou arrived, the atmosphere in the hall had descended.
However, Liu Chengyou didn't care so much, and hugged his son personally. In the past month, Liu Chengyou has not hugged him three times.
This time, the child did not cry. And in Liu Chengyou's arms, he kicked his calves slightly, and his dark eyes looked extraordinarily bright, looking at Liu Chengyou, clearly smiling. Seeing that childish smile, Liu Chengyou felt something in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a little smile.
Liu Chengyou smiled, I don't know if it was an illusion, and the atmosphere around him slowly became warmer.
When it was time for him to return to milk, Liu Chengyou handed it over to the nursing mother.
"Tokyo has been brought under control, Luli is gradually peaceful, and the inspection department has hard work, but it also depends on Brother Zhongjian's loyalty to the ministry and the work of the capital supervisor!" Liu Chengyou called his brother-in-law Song Yanwu to the front and chatted with him.
In his position, Song Yanwu was very competent in the inspection department, almost completely following the rules and policies formulated by Liu Chengyou when he inspected the capital. A very smart person, without any transgressions.
Song Yanwu looked very humble and polite: "The minister is just Xiao Gui Cao Sui." If there is no trust and support from the officials, how can they achieve such a state with the ability and ability of the ministers. ”
"It's all a family, and it's a family banquet, so my brother-in-law doesn't have to be so formal." Seeing his restraint, Liu Chengyou couldn't help waving his hand, and changed his name by the way.
"Yes!" Song Yanwu's attitude remained unchanged and always maintained a respectful attitude.
Liu Chengyou couldn't help but look at this brother-in-law, handsome and dignified, Yushu was in the wind, and he was more handsome than him. Song Yanwu was born in a famous family, his father and grandfather were officials and military envoys, his grandfather was Li Cunqiao of the Later Tang Dynasty, and his mother was Princess Yining, and he married a princess when he grew up. At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan married his daughter and Song Yanwu, and to a certain extent, he can also be called Gao Pan. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it was deeply trusted by two generations of emperors.
In this era, Song Yanwu can be described as a winner in life. The most rare thing is that in the case of many halos, you are so prosperous that you can still be pampered and humiliated, humble and humble, without a little ostentatiousness, and you are talented and learned, and you are called virtuous. Among the relatives of the Han Emperor, they are either greedy, tyrannical, or incompetent, compared to them, Song Yanwu can be regarded as very rare.
"Is my brother-in-law interested in being released as an official?" Liu Chengyou seemed to think about it for a while, and asked in a consultative tone.
Song Yanwu was slightly surprised, but in the face of this brother-in-law's calm gaze, he thought for a while, and said: "The official family has a life, and the minister is willing to go." ”
"I want to use my brother-in-law as the festival of the Shunyi Army." Chatting with smart people is refreshing, Liu Chengyou said directly.
"Shunyi Army......" Song Yanwu muttered, thought about it, and then reacted: "Yaozhou? ”
"Exactly!" Liu Chengyou said calmly: "Guanzhong has always been difficult to be calm, my brother-in-law is the emperor, and he can look forward to it. ”
Song Yanwu pondered for a while, suddenly nodded, glanced at Princess Yongning in the women's pile, and asked, "The minister wants to go alone, but the princess still stays in Tokyo." ”
The situation in Guanzhong has become more and more delicate, and Song Yanwu has obviously made some decisions and understood the purpose of Liu Chengyou sending him to Yaozhou.
Less than two hundred miles east of Yaozhou is Tongzhou, Xue Huairang's territory. To the east of Tongzhou, across the Yellow River, is Hezhongfu. And south of Tongzhou, less than 100 miles, across Weishui, is Huazhou, the territory of Hou Zhang, the envoy of the Zhenguo Army. These three have been getting closer lately.
"Erlang, it's been so long, I have to choose a name for my grandson." At this time, the Empress Dowager Li said that Liu Chengyou was summoned to the front and said.
Liu Chengyou responded: "My son has ordered the Academy to discuss the name." ”
......
"Your Majesty, after discussion by the ministers and others, the eldest son of the emperor can be named 'Chang'. Chang Zhi, Ri Chang Ye, Tong Ye, Shu Ye, Ming Jiu Ye——" Hanlin Bachelor, Bian Guiyan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and several other Hanlin were called to come to His Majesty to see him and say that he was chewing words.
Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Liu Chengyou, and did not give a little face: "Not good!" ”
The short response directly made it impossible to talk about it. Several people looked at each other and stood in the middle of the hall, a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help asking: "Didn't you prepare a few more words?" ”
He stopped them. Maybe they didn't react, or they were a little afraid to say it, Bian Guiyan and the others just confessed: "Please forgive your majesty." ”
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou didn't reprimand much, just waved his hand and ordered: "Think again." ”
"Yes!"
When I returned to Hanlin Temple, the news spread. A bachelor asked Tao Gu about this, only to hear the corners of Tao Gu's mouth raise with disdain, and then said lightly: "I am the eldest son of the emperor, how can I take the name of the country?" ”
