Chapter 341: Enthronement Ceremony (1)
Sit down in the flower hall of Zhangfu, and after the maid served the tea and retreated, Zhang Jiyong smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Sheng, please have something to say, and the officials will listen to you." β
Li Qi also smiled, but his voice was a little playful and low, "Zhang Shangshu, please forgive this palace for being blunt, the current situation in the imperial court, whether it is for Zhang Shangshu or the Zhang family, is a great disadvantage. β[..]
After the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning, had great military merits and merits, and his power naturally rose to a higher level, and no one could compare. As we all know, King Yongning and Zhang Shangshu have never been on good terms, and King Yongning's gain of power naturally means that Zhang Shangshu has lost power. This is one of them. β
Yang Guozhong was already at the end of his rope, but now he is gaining momentum again because of the favor of the Korean lady. The palace heard that the crown prince did not canonize Zhang Liangdi as the queen, but only as a concubine, while the Korean lady was named Xue Shufei...... From this point of view, this Xue Shufei is afraid that she is the second Yang Guifei! β
"Whether it is King Yongning or Yang Guozhong, they are all against Zhang Shangshu. Judging from the current situation, there is no need for these two families to unite, just one Yang Guozhong and the Yang family is enough to give Zhang Shangshu a headache. β
Li Qi talked eloquently, ignoring Zhang Jiyong's increasingly ugly face.
"If Zhang Liangdi can't give birth to a prince as soon as possible, I'm afraid the queen's position will be difficult to protect. And as long as Concubine Xue Shu can give birth to a prince, with the prince's favor for her, it will be inevitable β that Xue Shufei will be the daughter of the Korean lady, and Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning, has a personal relationship with Mrs. Qiuguo, and Chang'an is known all over the city, if Mrs. Han says that Zhang Xuan will support Xue Shufei instead...... Hehe, if that time comes, the Zhang family will be closed! β
When Li Qi said this, he stopped abruptly and stared at Zhang Jiyong.
The corners of Zhang Jiyong's mouth twitched, his heart was angry, and he said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness King Sheng came to visit overnight just to laugh at Zhang? If so, Your Highness, please! Drinking and feasting in the Xiaguan Palace, he was very tired and had to rest. β
Zhang Jiyong got up angrily and made a posture of sending off guests.
Li Qi was not annoyed, and said calmly, "Zhang Shangshu doesn't need to be angry, this palace is just seeking truth from facts, and analyzing the current situation with Zhang Shangshu has no intention of mocking." This palace visited Zhang Shangshu late at night, how could it be for this? Please also ask Zhang Shangshu to be restless! β
Zhang Jiyong let out a sigh of relief, slowly sat back down, and said awe-inspiringly, "Your Highness has something to say, please speak up!" β
Li Qi suddenly laughed, he took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it over, and said indifferently, "Can Zhang Shangshu recognize this thing?" β
Zhang Jiyong took it and looked at it for a moment, his face changed suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Qi with incredible eyes, and only after a long time did he tremble and say, "Your Highness, where did this thing come from?" β
"Nature comes from where it comes from." Li Qi smiled, "In this way, Zhang Shangshu is willing to talk to the palace in the depths?" β
Zhang Jiyong hesitated for a moment, then immediately got up and arched his hand, "Your Highness, please go to the secret room with the subordinate to discuss in detail, please!" β
Zhang Xuan returned home after the banquet, but Cui Ying still did not come back. Ruyan said that Mrs. Choke was sick, and Cui Ying stayed in Cui's Mansion to wait, and she could only return tomorrow.
Zhang Xuan was helpless and went to Li Tengkong again.
But he pushed the door outside the room for a long time, but he didn't push it open, and Li Tengkong actually let Lian'er lock the door from the inside.
Zhang Xuan called, and Li Tengkong said quietly inside, "Lord, the concubine is unwell and has rested, so she can't serve the prince tonight." β
Zhang Xuan stomped his feet stupidly, turned his head and left.
He quietly went to the single courtyard of Hua Nu'er next door. Hua Nu'er's bedroom was lit up, and there were many people inside, as if someone was talking.
Zhang Xuan walked in gently, pushed open the door, and there were a few maids standing outside, and when they saw Zhang Xuan enter the door, they bowed respectfully to the ground, not daring to look up.
"Slave and maid meet the prince!"
When the people inside heard the movement, they all came out together. It turned out that it was Xiao Shisanlang's wife Li Susu who took her son Xiao Ding to Hua Nuer.
Xiao Ding was hand-crossed by Huan Niang, walked out, and called out immaturely with chubby and pink little hands, "Godfather, hug!" β
Zhang Xuan laughed, leaned over and picked up Xiao Ding, pinched his little nose, and said in a harmonious voice, "Ding'er, it's so late, still not sleeping?" β
Li Susu bowed and said with a smile, "The slave family has seen the prince!" β
"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded to Li Susu.
Li Susu's face was full of ambiguous smiles, and she secretly glanced at β Hua Nu'er, who was full of reddening, Is it too late, Zhang Xuan ran to Hua Nu'er, obviously ...... As soon as he thought of this, Li Susu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ding from Zhang Xuan's arms, "Ding'er is good, I went back with my mother...... Don't make a fuss, go back to sleep! β
Li Susu couldn't help but say, so he hurried away with Xiao Ding in his arms.
"Daddy, Huan Niang also went back to the room to sleep."
Huanniang stood obediently on the side, and suddenly stepped forward to salute.
She is eight or nine years old, more or less sensible, and besides, she is still a little precocious.
In fact, Huanniang has always stayed in Hua Nu's room to sleep, and rarely sleeps by herself. But she is a big ghost, and she knows that her godfather and godmother have a close relationship, and it is not suitable for her to be involved.
Huanniang walked out of the door and went to the side room, and the two maids hurriedly followed.
Hua Nu'er opened her mouth, she wanted to keep Huanniang, but she felt a little unspeakable. She stomped her foot and turned into the inner room with a blushing face.
Zhang Xuan followed with a big sting.
Hua Nu'er lowered her voice and said angrily, "It's so late, what are you doing!" β
"Mrs. Li and Ding'er originally said that they wanted to sleep here in the slave family, but it was rare for our sisters to fall in love, and if they wanted to talk, they were all disturbed by you."
Zhang Xuan knew that Hua Nu'er still didn't wipe off her face, after all, she was not a famous woman in Zhang Xuan's name at the momentβ‘ she came to her so openly to spend the night, her face was a little unbearable.
Zhang Xuan smiled, hugged Hua Nu'er in his arms, leaned over and "gnawed" it.
Hua Nu'er was startled, and while struggling, she glanced at the door, and saw that the maids had cleverly dodged out, and she was relieved.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhang Xuan finally determined that this flower slave is really a woman with the potential to be sullen.
Once her enthusiasm is released, it will be like a torrent of unstoppable β joy in the bed, she is still half-pushed at first, but later, she is completely "anti-customer-oriented", occupying the initiative, extremely crazy.
Compared with Cui Ying's "decent", compared with Li Tengkong and Wan Chun's slightly jerky, it is obvious that Hua Nuer makes Zhang Xuan more happy.
After two joys, Hua Nu'er snuggled gently in Zhang Xuan's arms, and her hand drew some inexplicable circles on his chest.
Zhang Xuan leaned over and kissed her smooth and thin forehead, and then said softly, "Feng Ming, I will go to the imperial court in a few days to ask for a name for you......
Hua Nu'er shook her head and said quietly, "The slave family doesn't want any name, as long as you have a slave family in your heart...... Also, I'm going to go to Longshuo with you anyway, you can't leave me in Chang'an! β
Zhang Xuan smiled, "If you want to go, go β once, I'm going to let Kong'er go with you, and ......"
Zhang Xuan wanted to speak and stopped.
Hua Nu'er was stunned, looked up at Zhang Xuan and said softly, "It's okay for you to take the slave family with Longshuo, because the slave family is not your wife's room, but if you want to take the free child, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree, right?" β
"Huh." Zhang Xuan avoided the topic with a smile, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Xuan had an idea for a long time, but he didn't tell anyone.
He wanted to establish a women's army in Longshuo, and his future concubines, Princess Hui, Su Hudong and Li Tengkong, would be under the control of the two of them.
Su Hudong is a famous female general who can fight well, and she is naturally familiar with a military horse led by her. As for Li Tengkong, she is good at riding and shooting, and there is no problem in assisting Su Hudong in taking charge of the army.
If Su Hudong knew Zhang Xuan's idea, he would immediately guess what the hell Zhang Xuan was thinking.
Su Hudong had a 2,000-strong female cavalry under the Hui standard. Hui people are good at riding and shooting, even women are not weak. Therefore, Su Hudong did not make much effort to form this women's army.
In the blink of an eye, it is the Shangyuan Festival.
Shangyuan Festival is still Shangyuan Festival, which is no different from previous years. But this year's Shangyuan Festival is not only the Shangyuan Festival, but also Li Heng's enthronement and emperor's day.
During the day, the enthronement ceremony of Li Heng will be held; In the evening, the new emperor Li Heng, who changed the yuan and ascended the throne, will feast on the gate tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate in the imperial city, and enjoy the Shangyuan Festival with the people of the city.
The palace has entered the countdown to the preparations for the enthronement ceremony since the early hours of last night, and the eunuchs and palace ladies are busy, under the command of Chen Xian, the "chief designer" and "chief conductor" of the enthronement ceremony, no detail can be ignored.
This ceremony is related to the majesty of Li Heng, the new emperor, and the legitimacy of the supreme imperial power, Li Heng attaches great importance to it, and orders Chen Xian to lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites to personally "operate" it.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong and ensure the safety and stability of Chang'an during the enthronement ceremony and the Shangyuan Festival, Yang Lian's Yulinwei semi-closed several major gates of Chang'an, and the city was even more heavily guarded.
The enthronement ceremony was held at three o'clock in the afternoon⨠Xuan got up early in the morning, accompanied Cui Ying, Li Tengkong, Hua Nuer and Huan Niang to have breakfast, and went to greet Liu's mother before entering the palace in advance.
After entering the palace and going all the way, Zhang Xuan first went to the Mingde Hall of Xingqing Palace, where the enthronement ceremony was to be held, and then went to Wanchun Garden.
Unexpectedly, Wan Chun was not there.
The palace maid cherished the bamboo and said respectfully, "Lord, the princess has accompanied King Sheng, King Shou, King Xin, Princess Xianyi, Princess Chen, Princess Gaodu, Princess Xinchang and other highnesses to visit His Majesty the Emperor Taishang in Xianyang Palace." β
Li Heng said that the emperor was imminent, and Li Longji was going to be respected as the emperor β for a few days, and many people in the palace had already secretly changed their words, no longer calling Li Heng His Royal Highness but His Majesty.
Zhang Xuan was stunned, frowned, and said, "Visiting the Emperor?" β
"Yes." Xizhu said softly.
Oh⨠Xuan nodded, turned around and left, and suddenly a very strange feeling floated in his heart.
