Chapter 70: The New Year

Generally speaking, the emperor can only get married after the crown ceremony.

Once the big marriage means, the emperor has reached adulthood, so it is natural to be pro-government.

Therefore, the matter of the emperor's wedding has a high political significance.

What the Empress Dowager is worried about is that Zhu Qizhen is too anxious to pro-government.

At least the Empress Dowager is not at ease with the current Zhu Qizhen, he is in charge of the world, even in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Zhu Qizhen is also a prodigy.

However, the Empress Dowager herself has never thought of holding the power of the court in her hands, and has already given obvious hints.

When Zhu Qizhen was around fifteen or sixteen years old, the Empress Dowager would consider the emperor's personal government.

This is also the empress dowager's desire to ease the knot with the emperor.

Then the Empress Dowager also diverted the topic and said: "You are also in good health, and there are some things that you have to be busy." It's this year, but there are some things that you can't do. ”

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew.

Zhengdan court, the subsequent feast, and even after Zhengdan, various ceremonies in the palace. It can be said that from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, there are many things that need Zhu Qizhen to attend.

Although Zhu Qizhen's performance in this way is more ceremonial. Even on such occasions, there is a convention for the emperor to say anything.

But it's not like that that doesn't matter.

Zhu Qizhen was originally a young emperor.

Every day is an ornament, all of which are fiction. It's just six Shangshu, and a few cabinet members went through the motions in Zhu Qizhen.

It is only in this way that the great court will receive a large number of officials, nobles, and foreign envoys.

Even if it is ceremonial, but whether the emperor can do a good job or not, let the people below see it, have grace and prestige, and it is directly related to the prestige of Zhu Qizhen.

After all, with the idea of the Queen Mother, Zhu Qizhen will be in power for several years. There are very few opportunities to meet the officials.

This is a big test for Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Please rest assured. The grandson will not disappoint the mother. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "In the past few days, let the king come to the palace and teach you the etiquette of the court, I know, you have never been impatient with this, but you must not lose face in a foreign country." Good life to do. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yes." ”

The Empress Dowager explained a few more words.

Zhu Qizhen retreated.

On the second day, Wang Zhi entered the palace and began to teach Zhu Qizhen etiquette. And explain the process of the pilgrimage. Zhu Qizhen trained for more than ten days in a row, and after he was familiar with these things, he could be regarded as letting Zhu Qizhen go.

Zhu Qizhen was relieved.

And at this time, it has entered the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

In the whole city of Beijing, it began to be lively. And the Forbidden City is no exception. The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all busy with their feet not touching the ground.

Of course, none of this needs to be done by Zhu Qizhen.

Originally, Zhu Qizhen wanted to bring his relatives in the palace together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were not harmonious, and the two sides got together, and they didn't know what to do.

Zhu Qizhen could only run on both sides.

The sound of firecrackers came from the sound of "crackling," which woke up Zhu Qizhen in his sleep.

He lay on the boat, with a familiar sense of dislocation, and looked at the curtain on the top of the bed for a long time before he knew that this was the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that when the Ming Dynasty celebrated the festival, there were many differences from later generations, but the firecrackers were unified.

And Zhu Qizhen understood that it was not a firecracker in one place, it seemed that the sound of firecrackers in many places in the palace sounded together. And after the sound of firecrackers in the palace sounded, the sound of firecrackers spread.

In the city of Beijing, other places are also in the same place.

I don't know how many people set off firecrackers together.

At this time, hundreds of civil and military officials, all countries went out under the entourage of the season. From all directions, I want to go in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

These people all attended the Great Pilgrimage.

The palace maids around Zhu Qizhen were all busy.

Changing the crown robe for Zhu Qizhen is the so-called twelve chapters of dragon robe with the sun and moon on the shoulder. The style that Zhu Qizhen wore when he ascended the throne, but it shouldn't be the same.

In the past year, Guy Zhu Qizhen's body has also been cut off. The original dragon robe can't be said to be worn, but it doesn't fit anymore.

On top of such a ceremony, how could Zhu Qizhen be dressed in an ill-fitting dragon robe.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know that even if he fit, he might not be able to wear it, and the royal luxury was something that Zhu Qizhen didn't know.

"Master," Wang Zhen held a food plate and said, "Please master chew ghosts." ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at it, but saw that on the mahogany lacquer plate, there was a white jade-like food plate, and there were twelve donkey meat boxes on the food plate, which were placed in a circle, and there was a pair of ivory chopsticks next to it on the jade chopstick pillow.

This is a custom in the palace, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't know why. But he knew that he was on a tight schedule.

At this time, all the civil and military officials rushed over. When the sun rises in a while, it will be the official start of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and Jin Ying has already arranged it outside the Mukden Gate.

However, Zhu Qizhen also has a lot of things to do, for example, to give salutes to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and even the concubines in the palace, and the Empress Dowager of Renzong's generation.

Wait until this trip is over.

That's pretty much it.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly used it. After meeting the Empress Dowager, he went to Kunning to see the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother Sun is also dressed in formal clothes, looking majestic and gorgeous, solemn and gorgeous. Zhu Qizhen knew that after the Great Dynasty Meeting, it would be a big feast.

The feast is divided into two parts.

Part of it is from the foreign dynasty, that is, Zhu Qizhen invited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and the seasons of various countries. And the other part is the harem, the empress dowager and the empress dowager want to extend the order of ladies at all levels.

It is impossible for Sun not to attend such a ceremony.

She dressed Zhu Qizhen and said, "My son must do it well this time." Let the world see, I have a son of heaven. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's all the mother's good to me, the queen mother, don't you go against the mother, okay?" ”

Sun hugged Zhu Qizhen and said with a wry smile: "Where do I dare to go against my mother, my mother is afraid." Okay, for your sake, no matter what happens in the future, I will endure it, as long as my son is the emperor and I live and suffer, so what? Don't worry, my mother won't be dragging her feet. ”

This time, many people thought that the Empress Dowager would take the emperor to attend the court meeting. For the emperor town this sub.

After all, although this great court will be above etiquette.

But after all, there will be foreign envoys.

Domestic officials, big and small, will come according to the arrangement of the imperial court, but foreign envoys may not.

If something really happens, can you handle it with the little emperor alone. A lot of people are worried. However, if the Empress Dowager appears at the court meeting. A lot of people are also worried.

I am worried that this is not the beginning of the Empress Dowager's reign.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the emperor is no longer just the relationship between Zhu Qizhen and the Zhang family, but has become a major vane of Ming Dynasty politics.

The Empress Dowager chose to give up, on the one hand, she was assured of Zhu Qizhen's ability. is generally difficult, and Zhu Qizhen can also deal with it.

In addition, it may not be that there are signs of it.

The Empress Dowager didn't want to create a so-called Empress Dowager party in the court and lay hidden dangers for the future, so she chose to take a step back.

Otherwise. When the Empress Dowager attends such a sensitive court meeting, there will definitely be stinky feet in the court.

When the time comes, there will be trouble.

Zhu Qizhen listened to Sun's words, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and he said secretly: "This is the best news I have heard this year." "With this mother, Zhu Qizhen has to clean up for his mother many times.

made Zhu Qizhen a little anxious.

And Zhu Qizhen predicts that such a thing will be inevitable even in the future.

But what's the solution?

This is his mother in this life. In ancient times, filial piety ruled the world, and between him and Sun, it was impossible to divide it, and it was impossible to divide it. Coercion may be used against others.

But Sun is the one he must offer.

As long as the Sun family enjoys Qingfu quietly in the harem, it will be a great favor to Zhu Qizhen. Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen is really worried that in the future, when the Empress Dowager is about to make a big trip, she will also stay with the Sun family.

Because the Empress Dowager is confident, with her, Sun will not be able to jump out of his palm, but once she is gone, I am afraid that Sun will make a mess.
