33. The death of the peach

The overall situation has been decided, and the Jingshi has returned to a calm and nonsense life, and while people are talking about the little emperor's efforts to turn the tide, they do not forget to entertain his romantic affairs. The story of the hero's rescue of beauty and the golden house has long been known to the world, and in order to cater to the holy will, the ministers have written to ask the emperor for a big wedding, so as to stabilize the harem and stabilize the country. However, on how to deal with Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, the Donglin Party has different opinions.

After Donglin Academy was seized, these people realized that the little emperor wanted to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and secretly conspired to protect himself. First, the tide of impeachment of the emperor taking the lead in the charge is an irresponsible performance, and then he and Zhu Chunchen are guilty of losing the emperor's temperament by making a big fight for a woman, intending to win over the banner of Chengguogong. Han Yi of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Wenda of the Criminal Department and others jointly signed a letter, demanding that the crime of deceiving the monarch of Chengguo be dealt with. Zuo Zhan knew that he should always face it, and said solemnly:

"Let's calm down the two Aiqing, listen to me first."

Everyone stopped arguing, and craned their necks to look at the little emperor, and the hall was as quiet as before the storm, only to hear Zuo Zhan say:

"Emperor Chengzu once said in person, 'Those who assist me to become a great cause can also', heard the news of the death of King Dongping, and even abolished the dynasty for five days, mourning for it. I admired the benevolence and righteousness of Chengzu, and I also felt the tragedy of King Dongping's death on the battlefield, and I couldn't bear to see King Dongping's incense cut off.

Although the law of the Ming Dynasty contains a clear text that deceiving the monarch is a major crime of punishing the nine clans, Zhu Chunchen did not know my identity, so he only cut off his title, demoted him to a commoner, and guarded the tomb for life. The Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Officials selected two outstanding talents from among their heirs to serve in the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, and two years later, they were selected to be the best of the best. ”

Zuo Zhan's words were completely unexpected by the ministers, and they were extremely surprised by the little emperor's city and generosity, and they all thanked him for his kindness. This resolution not only easily smashed the conspiracy of the Donglin Party, but also represented the attitude of the little emperor towards the meritorious nobles, and the previous rumors that the Donglin Party slandered him as murderous as Emperor Taizu were self-defeating.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zuo Zhan coughed dryly to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued:

"Recently, rumors have spread in and out of the palace, saying that I have a grudge with meritorious service because of my favor to women, and I am indeed negligent in this matter, so I will make it clear today. I met Xiong Tingbi's granddaughter last year, and when General Xiong triumphed, he would come to the door to propose marriage. There is also the daughter of Zhang Guoji, which is the dream of the gods, otherwise how would I know that there is such a woman in the world, and she will be the queen of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

As mentioned earlier, the Ming Dynasty was the most ceremonial feudal dynasty, not only did the emperor have to go through the procedure when he got married, but even ordinary people had to have the orders of their parents to marry. But now that he has returned triumphantly with his own expedition, his prestige is in full swing, and no one dares to pull out his teeth at this time.

Now that the words have been clarified, Zuo Zhan decided to marry Zhang Yan as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the harem. As for Xiong Kouyue, he was now afraid of Xiong Tingbi's arrogance and arrogance, and he was afraid of Xiong Kouyue's chastity, so he decided to appease him first, and by the way, he would explore the situation.

In the evening, Zuo Zhan and Yu Dingbian slipped into the Xiong Mansion in a familiar way, deliberately did not let the guards report, stood in the courtyard and asked in their throats:

"Is anyone home? Come in and ask for a hot tea to warm up. ”

Since the last separation, Kou Yue's heart has been fluctuating, and she is moved that the emperor can sacrifice her life to save her, but when she thinks of the three thousand beauties in the harem in the future, she is always unwilling. What gave her even more headache was Zuo Zhan's performance in Salhu, others applauded when they heard it, but only sincere people would be frightened. At this time, the master and servant were complaining about this matter, and when they suddenly heard the familiar voice, they immediately became overjoyed, and walked quickly to the courtyard to greet them.

Zuo Zhan saw that she was wearing an embroidered clothes and treasure belt, clean and elegant, her eyebrows were not described, and she was a little charming. Seeing that her ice muscles and snow bones were much thinner, she couldn't help but be sad, and held her hands and asked for warmth. Hearing that he cared so much about himself, Kou Yue felt warm in his heart, and he couldn't be happy.

The two of them are in love with me, and they only heard Lianyin say playfully:

"The saint is at ease in Liaodong, my young lady's heart is about to rise to her throat, and it is not easy to eat raw, and it is not easy to sleep raw, and she is afraid all day long."

Zuo Zhan hugged Kou Yue in his arms, and said with a smile on his face:

"Are you worried that I'm in danger, or are you worried that you won't be able to get married?"

Kou Yue didn't feel sad when she heard this, and she tried her best to break free of Zuo Zhan's hands, and Pear Blossom ran back to her boudoir with rain. Zuo Zhan thought that this joke was too big, so he hurriedly followed, comforting her softly.

Na Lianyin knew the affection of the two, and said as if a teacher was asking for sin:

"The story of the holy hero saving the beauty has long been spread in the capital, and I didn't want to welcome the young lady into the palace after coming back for so long, first the fairy dreamed, and then the golden house was hidden, how did my young lady feel?"

Zuo Zhan just wanted to talk about this matter today, and when he heard Lianyin pick out the topic, he deliberately sighed, pretending to be pitiful and said:

"Why don't I want to marry your young lady as soon as possible, but General Xiong is still fighting bloody battles in Liaodong, and I am marrying his granddaughter in the rear, this matter is not easy to say, and if it is not good, it will chill the hearts of the old generals and soldiers.

I originally wanted to fight a quick battle, but General Xiong had to make some tripartite arrangement, and wanted to drag on with Jianyu in Liaodong for three and five years. That's why he ignored everyone's opposition and personally went to fight Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, isn't this for you? ”

Buckle the moon is a little woman's mind, what she wants is the kind of unique spoiling, she was coaxed by Zuo Zhan's nonsense, the sadness on her face dissipated, her eyes were clear, and she said in a soft voice:

"The concubine is grateful for the affection of the saint, and she can know with you that she has no regrets in this life, and in the future, she will only obey the king's orders, and she will not dare to have any other thoughts."

Zuo Zhan listened to her soft words, touched in his heart, and saw that her eyes were like water and tenderness, on a whim, he hugged Kou Yue's waist, gently put his face on her cheek, kissed her earlobe, and whispered:

"You are my first love, and I will pamper you in my heart for the rest of my life. You must also remember the words of today, and you must not go back in your life. ”

It was getting late when I walked out of the bear house, and it was the fifteenth at this time, and the full moon was very bright. In the north, the leaves on both sides are shaking and falling, like the ice carved jade, and the pieces are like snow.

As soon as the two entered the Donghua Gate, they saw Wang An walking forward quickly and whispered:

"Long live the lord, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shen are both in the South Third Institute!"

At the beginning, he was going to go to Liaodong, for fear that Zhu Chunchen and his ilk would have extraneous branches, so he ordered Wang An to take Zhang Yan to the south of the palace to live temporarily, which led to the joke of Jinwu Zangjiao.

Zuo Zhan thought that these old ladies were also well-informed, and in the morning he just said that he wanted to make Zhang Yan the queen, and in the evening they ran over to see the excitement, so they had to come to the palace hard. When everyone saw the emperor's Luan, they knelt down to bow and salute, and Zuo Zhan saw that everyone in the family was there, and asked with a smile:

"Have you seen both concubines?"

Zhang Yan has been stationed in the South Three Institutes since she entered the South Three Institutes, and she is generous in and out, which is a well-known thing in the palace. Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shen greeted her for a long time, and saw that her words were decent and steady, and she had a motherly temperament, and they had already regarded her as a queen in their hearts. Hearing the emperor's question, they all echoed and praised.

Zuo Zhan was about to interject, but saw Zhu Huiyuan running over sweating profusely and coquettishly burrowing into his arms. This little girl has just turned ten years old, it is the age of playfulness and food, and she often chases Zuo Zhan to eat and drink on weekdays, and Zuo Zhan rewards her with fresh fruits and refreshing snacks from all over the world, so the relationship between the brother and sister is very good.

When she was tired of being crooked, she asked with a pair of big black eyes:

"Brother Emperor, what is Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Seeing that she was innocent, everyone looked at Zhang Yan at the same time with a tacit understanding, and they didn't feel it. At this time, Zhang Yan's cheeks were already flying, her starry eyes were circulating, and her charm was natural. When she saw the little emperor slowly walking towards her, she quickly regained her composure, and said with a slight salute:

"The people's daughter Zhang Yan has seen the saint, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live."

Zuo Zhan put down Zhu Huiyuan in his arms, looked at Zhang Yan seriously, and was hallucinated by her beauty for a while. I saw that she was dressed in white, with light makeup and simple decorations, but she had the appearance of Xie Tingyongxue, with delicate eyebrows and green temples, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world under the embrace of flowers.

Zhang Yan also had a good impression of this "father-in-law" when he met that night, and only after moving into the Forbidden City did he know that he was the emperor, and he heard about how Zuo Zhan was in charge of Qiankun when his grandfather and father died, how to stabilize the harem and take care of his younger siblings, how to subdue the civil and military officials to stabilize the overall situation, and how to take the lead in quelling the rebellion.

Now that they are reunited, I see that he is a little more calm, and the worries and thoughts of the past few days have instantly turned into little beads, and they are unconsciously full of cheeks.

Seeing that the two of them were so affectionate, Concubine Zhuang actually sprinkled dog food in front of everyone, sighed in her heart, and said happily:

"Before, the mourning family heard that the saint said that the immortal dream would be suspicious, but now it seems that it is really a pair of immortal couples. As soon as we met, it was already like glue, and in the future, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang would not envy others. ”

When everyone heard that Concubine Zhuang had agreed, Zuo Zhan also had this intention, and said with a pleasant face:

"The concubine is in charge of the seal of the queen mother, and all etiquette has to bother you to come forward."

It was the night when he tossed and turned, constantly recalling Zhang Yan's voice and smile, and became more and more obsessed. In the haze, I seemed to see a pepper wall beautiful, and two red candles illuminated the gilded Chinese characters particularly brightly. There is a young girl sitting in front of the bronze mirror, only to see her phoenix crown and xiaxia, red lips and bright teeth, seeing that she is holding red silk to cover half of her face, bowing slightly, her waist is like a thin willow, and her demeanor is moving.

Spring dreamed without a trace, and when Zuo Zhan woke up, it was only halfway through the night, and he sat alone under the covered bridge in a daze. Qingzhu, Mingyue, and Lone Shadow, the more he tried to suppress his emotions, the more he missed it, and said casually:

Ten miles of flat lake frost sky,

Every inch of green silk is sad for the Chinese year.

To the moon-shaped single look at each other,

Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals.

This poem is about the ghost relationship between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, and Zuo Zhan, who is reincarnated, is not a ghost who borrows the corpse to return his soul, but he is a little lucky.

When Wang An heard that the little emperor got up in the middle of the night to toss, he had already taken a pen and paper and asked Zuo Zhan to write down the poem, and then ordered someone to send it to Nansan overnight.
