Chapter 29: The Beginning of the Dragon's Blossom (Part I)
Growing up has always had two meanings.
From Han Gang's mouth, considering the age of the Son of Heaven, I want to know what it means.
Wang Yi didn't know what to say for a while, his face turned slightly red, he first glared at her husband who was open-mouthed, and then raised his hand to help Han Gang tidy up the outfit of the saint who entered the palace.
Looking at Wang Yi's expression, Han Gang knew that his sons had suffered hardships, and the little servants and maids beside his sons had to be reprimanded in the past few days.
But fortunately, there is such a strict mother who is in charge of her children at home, so Han Gang has the time to deal with the government with peace of mind.
If it is like today's official family, he is only twelve years old and gets close to women, and his body is weak, and his feet are so weak that he almost faints when he is in Funing Palace, Han Gang does not say that he is unintentional, and in the mouths of the courtiers, he will inevitably become the object of ridicule.
After bidding farewell to his wife and concubine, the outer courtyard had already prepared the accompanying carriage and horses, Han Gang boarded the carriage, and the group went out to Miyagi.
Listening to the voices of people outside the car, Han Gang closed his eyes quietly. For the little emperor, it was indeed unexpected by him, but after thinking about it, it was ordinary, and he even felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
But the affairs of the heavenly family are the affairs of the world, the prime minister is in charge of yin and yang, and is in charge of the inside and outside, and the affairs of the emperor's boudoir, Han Gang can still manage it, and he can manage it.
However, even if he had accepted the edict, Han Gang did not rush into the imperial city quickly. In order to avoid the disturbance of the military and civilians in Beijing and other reasons, he prepared the flag, slowly and leisurely, and it took nearly half an hour to come to the queen mother from the prime minister's mansion.
Han Gang did not find any other courtiers in the small hall of the inner east gate, and only he was the prime minister who was summoned to the palace.
Bowing to the Queen Mother, "Chen Hangang greets His Majesty." ”
"Xianggong is finally here."
Empress Dowager Xiang was waiting anxiously, even if she knew that with Han Gang's character, she would never enter the palace in a hurry, but she still couldn't help the anxiety in her heart. Until Han Gang finally appeared, it was like having a backbone, and the whole person was relaxed.
"The affairs of the official family, presumably the prime minister already knows." Xiang sighed to the Queen Mother, "This untalented child is going to be tired of working again." ”
Although the customs of the world still put the affairs of men and women after the 14th Five-Year Plan, it is not uncommon for people to talk about marriage at the age of twelve or thirteen. It's just that the Son of Heaven is sick because of this, and it can no longer be hidden.
"The affairs of the Son of Heaven are the affairs of the courtiers." Han Gang lowered his head slightly, "What about the word tired?" ”
Zhao Xu is close to women, it is by no means a day or two, in the Funing Palace, there are also people sent by the Queen Mother, if you want to say that the Queen Mother has not received the news, Han Gang will not believe it. If the courtiers were informed of the changes in the Son of Heaven as early as possible, the courtiers would be able to respond as soon as possible, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager Xiang did not do so.
Xiang said to the Queen Mother: "Then according to the public's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this matter, there is a story to follow." Han Gang said, "I don't know what the Son of Heaven is doing now?" Can the royal body still be healthy? ”
Xiang said to the Queen Mother: "It's a blessing." Qian Yifang just came over to show the official family, and the official family is fine, but it needs to be recuperated for a while. ”
Han Gang looked at ease: "Then the minister can rest assured." ”
The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister seriously discussed that the Son of Heaven began to get close to women, which sounds ridiculous, but this is indeed a major matter related to the country.
The Son of Heaven finally opened the meat, and the theory said that this was a gratifying thing. Where is the problem with the emperor playing with women? It's a big deal if you don't play. Occasionally looking for an inner servant, although it is rare, it is also a well-known allusion to Shilin that can be divided into peach and broken sleeves.
The deceased Emperor Gao was just jealous and did not let Emperor Yingzong get close to the concubine, Empress Cao admonished, and Han Qi admonished, all in order to let Yingzong be able to give birth to children and open up branches and leaves for the heavenly family. Gao Tao was annoyed to hear it, and she even replied to the Empress Dowager Cao's sentence 'Playing to the mother, the bride married the thirteenth regiment Lian'er, that is, she never married his official family', that is, she wanted to use the methods of how to manage the 'thirteen regiments' Zhao Zongshi in the past to the new emperor who has now changed her name to Zhao Shu, and made her aunt very angry.
Empress Dowager Xiang never worries that the Son of Heaven will not be able to get close to the concubines in the future, she is only worried that the Son of Heaven will be too close.
Han Gang diverged halfway through his words, and he was also a little unhappy, "I'm relieved, I'm not at ease." In this matter, the prime minister should also come up with a charter for me. ”
"I don't know what His Majesty wants?" Han Gang asked rhetorically.
"The official family is only twelve, and he is bewitched by others, and the people around him can't stay. But I'm just worried that if I do this, there will be trouble in the court again. ”
If it is stable today, the people are healthy, there are strong soldiers guarding the border, and there are even more virtuous ministers in the court, and the Queen Mother is very comfortable on weekdays, and the most annoying thing is that someone makes her unable to live in peace.
Han Gang responded: "In fact, how to deal with this matter has its own story. Renzong fashion and Yang Ermei were ordered to leave the palace, which is a precedent, and there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's decision. As for the court, His Majesty has been in charge of the court for a long time, so why worry? ”
Emperor Renzong in the past years after driving away Empress Guo, with Shang, Yang Er beauty, play a dragon and two phoenix play day and night, the so-called 'every night to sleep, the upper body for the disadvantages, or tired days without eating', almost exhausted people to death, to the point of 'Chinese and foreign fear', still alive Empress Dowager Yang several warnings, into the knowledge that Yan Wenying is even more every day from morning to night in Renzong's ear chatter, and finally quarrel Renzong tirelessly, but also feel that his body is not good, and finally nodded and agreed to expel Shang and Yang from the palace.
Empress Dowager Xiang heard of this old palace matter, when she entered the palace with Zhao Ji, she was sent by the Empress Dowager Cao to the old palace people, how to serve the prince to be a qualified princess, which did not take the old things of Shang Yang Ermei as an example.
"Xianggong means that's what you mean?"
"If it is according to the minister's wishes, this matter should be decided by the Son of Heaven himself." Han Gang glanced at the palace people in the palace and said bluntly, "With the benevolence of Renzong, Queen Guo will not die well, which is inevitably regrettable." ”
Han Gang's words are straightforward enough, saying that it is okay to sow discord.
But the Empress Dowager Xiang didn't mind, and Han Gang didn't have the slightest hint of sincere fear.
"Xianggong's words are reasonable." Nodding to the Queen Mother, "This matter has to let him know that he is wrong." Lan Congxi, you go to the Funing Hall first, and tell the concubine, I will come to visit with Han Xianggong. She looked at Han Gang, "Please go with me to the Funing Hall to ask the official." ”
"Obey."
The Empress Dowager Xiang sat on her shoulder, and Han Gang followed behind, leaving the small hall of the inner east gate and going all the way to the Funing Palace.
The Son of Heaven's dormitory, Han Gang has come a lot in the past.
But since the accession to the throne of today's son, especially after the palace change, there have only been a few sporadic times in the past few years.
Walking into the Funing Palace, the furnishings of Yiqiē are as if they were five or six years ago, almost nothing has changed, and even the old imperial table in the main hall is still in place. The base is mottled with lacquer, and it doesn't look like it has been repainted in years.
A few days ago, Han Gang heard that the Empress Dowager Xiang was going to replace this table with a new one, but Zhao Xu refused, saying that 'this is the old virtue of the first emperor, and the child dare not abandon it'. Zhao Xu's words spread outside, causing a burst of embarrassment. Zhao Xu did bad things with good intentions, which can only be said to be a long-cherished injustice, although he can't get rid of the word killing, but no one doubts his filial piety. But today's incident is a problem.
followed the Queen Mother into the side hall where the Son of Heaven was sleeping, and the palace people around Zhao Xu were half shorter.
Han Gang didn't see Hao Sui, Liu Youduan, Zhu Xiaoyou, or the mother-in-law of the country, after Qian Yi was diagnosed, Zhao Xu's inner servants, palace maids, and even nursing mothers were all locked up, and the Funing Palace was full of people around the Queen Mother, and Yang Jian led people to guard outside the palace. From the moment Han Gang arrived outside the gate of the Funing Palace, in addition to seeing the old furnishings, he was a familiar face.
Zhao Xu had a miserable white face, half-lying and half-leaning on the bed, looking like he wanted to go down to the ground to greet the Empress Dowager Xiang, but was stopped by others.
At the other end of the dormitory, the beaded curtain on the small door was still shaking. Concubine Zhu, who was still taking care of him in the dormitory, first visited the Queen Mother after hearing the news that Han Gang was entourage, and then hurriedly retreated from the small door at the other end before Han Gang came in. Just on the opposite side of the swaying bead curtain, you can vaguely see a figure watching.
"Is the official family better?" Empress Dowager Xiang walked to the side of the imperial couch and looked at Zhao Xu with concern.
"Thank you, child, it's all right." Zhao Xu hurriedly said, looked at Han Gang again, and cast a little flustered gaze, "Xianggong is also here." ”
"Your Majesty is sick, how can the minister not come?"
Han Gang took two steps forward, his face calm, and his tone was cold. As a profound Zaifu, if the emperor does something bad, it doesn't matter if he reprimands him directly, not to mention that Zhao Xu's throne is still kept by him.
As soon as Empress Dowager Xiang saw that Han Gang wanted to teach the emperor a lesson, she hurriedly got up and left the imperial couch, leaving Han Gang to face Zhao Xu alone.
Zhao Xu lowered his head, his slender hands clutching the pale yellow quilt cover.
I don't know if he is learning from his father, the color of the futon cover has faded, and he still insists on using it. It's good to be thrifty, but it can't help him get away with it now.
"Your Majesty, it's common to be close to women, but you also have to take care of the royal body. There is a cloud in "Spring and Autumn", "It is for the close women's room, the disease is like a Gu, neither ghosts nor food, and the confusion is lost." Women must not be approached, but they need to remember the word 'festival'. ”
Han Gang was teaching the emperor here, and the Empress Dowager Xiang blushed a little when she heard it, and she picked up a cup on the table and asked someone to pour water, these words were inconvenient to say in front of a woman.
Han Gang didn't care at all, and continued, "The so-called moderation in the Holy Sect also has this meaning. It is not advisable to pass, if it is excessive, it will hurt the body, it is not appropriate to quit, and if it is not allowed to pass, there will be no heirs. What's more, His Majesty is young, and even if the pines and cypresses can reach the sky in the future, the saplings are often shaken, and the foundation is damaged, and it is difficult to grow in the future. The minister's heartfelt words, may His Majesty think about it. ”
Han Gang's words have not been much, Zhao Xu waited for his lecture to end, slowly raised his head, his pale face and eyes were deep, "Xianggong's words, I must remember them." ”
