It's another spring, the queen gave birth to a daughter, this is not the result that the Cui family wants most, Han Ruzi and Cui Xiaojun are still very excited, Han Ruzi personally named "Rujun", and he has to go back to the harem at least three times a day to check his daughter's condition and treat it as a treasure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Han Ruzi's heart did not sink because of this, he was still restless from time to time, he had been waiting for more than a year, and now he has a son, two daughters, and a concubine who is pregnant and waiting to give birth, many suspicions about the emperor's physical condition have long been dissipated, he will be an emperor with many sons and grandchildren, and he is "qualified" to go out for a walk.

The resistance is not small, and Han Ruzi has to break through one after another.

Three months after the birth of Princess Rujun, the summer flowers were luxuriant, the Empress Dowager Cining celebrated her birthday in the palace, only invited a few royal daughters into the palace, and forbade the ministers to congratulate.

The Empress Dowager Cining held her grandson Qingzi in her arms—a nickname she had given, and like "Rujun", it was not the official name recorded in the Zongzheng Mansion—chatted with many concubines and female dependents, and when the emperor arrived, the laughter stopped.

The Empress Dowager Cining accepted the emperor's congratulations and urged: "Your Majesty is busy, you are here, we are not comfortable." Qingzi, called the father, called the father. ”

The one-year-old Keiko could already speak simple words, but the word "father" was a little more difficult, he grabbed a piece of sweet cake in his hand, buried his head in his grandmother's arms, and refused to look at his father.

The Empress Dowager Cining laughed and waved the emperor to leave quickly.

Han Ruzi retired with a smile, in his impression, his mother was very strict with himself when he was a child, although he was alone in the small courtyard, taught him to read and write very early, and told him all kinds of truths, but when he came to Qingzi, he doted on him and did not let his grandson suffer a little.

Han Ruzi went to Qiuxin Palace, the queen attended the birthday banquet at the queen mother's side, and the three-month-old princess stayed in the palace and was taken care of by Meng E.

Although Meng E has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she treats babies very gently, her eyes almost never leave, and when the emperor comes in, she just glances at it hurriedly, and immediately stares at the sleeping princess in the small bed.

Han Ruzi walked over and looked at it for a while, happy in his heart, afraid of disturbing his daughter's sleep, he didn't say anything, nodded to Meng E, and exited the room.

Zhang Youcai came up with a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Han Ruzi asked as she walked.

"Since I had a child in the palace, the atmosphere is really different."

"Hmm." Han Ruzi deeply sympathizes, he has always regarded the palace as a fence, since the birth of his son and daughter, the fence has gradually disappeared, and this place is more like his home.

Zhang Youcai followed the emperor, laughed twice, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is a little jealous?" ”

Han Ruzi said in surprise: "Jealous of what? ”

"Jealous of the prince and princess, I saw it, the queen mother, the queen, and the concubine...... In short, all the women in the palace are now concerned about children, and His Majesty is a little left out. ”

Han Ruzi smiled, "All women? It's not as exaggerated as you say. ”

The two of them said as they walked, going directly to Lingyun Pavilion, and the group of eunuchs behind them were really jealous of Zhang Youcai, but there was no way, who let him follow the emperor to live and die?

Han Ruzi came to Lingyun Pavilion with nowhere to go, and many of the attendants were not there, and he didn't have anything to deal with, just to look at the chapters and flip through miscellaneous books.

Zhang Youcai prepared pen and ink for the emperor, and took advantage of the emperor's good mood to say: "Your Majesty, do you want more princes and princesses?" ”

"Of course I thought, the more the merrier." Han Ruzi picked up the chapter, it was all a trivial matter, and he glanced at it and approved "read".

"If you want more princes and princesses, you must first choose more concubines." Zhang Youcai reminded.

Han Ruzi put down the chapter and looked at Zhang Youcai, "Who told you to say this?" ”

Zhang Youcai hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I swear to God, absolutely not, I really want to see His Majesty have more sons and grandchildren." ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "That's my heart, I have already said in Luoyang that there will be no draft in three years, and now there is still one year left, I am not in a hurry, and you don't have to worry." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai didn't dare to say more.

Although there is no major event in the recital, but after watching a lot, he can have a general understanding of the situation in various parts of the world, once he reads it, Han Ruzi forgets about other things, and before he knows it, it is evening.

Han Ruzi hurried back to the harem, and he had to congratulate his mother on her birthday again before nightfall.

Zhang Youcai just received a message sent by the Empress Dowager Cining, asking the emperor to go directly to Cining Palace.

Han Ruzi usually goes to Cishun Palace to greet the two queen mothers, but today is an exception.

Most of the guests in Cining Palace have already left, the house is cleaned, and there is a faint smell of wine, which only newcomers can smell.

The Empress Dowager Cining was still holding Qingzi, and Tong Qing'e was standing aside, looking at her son, not having a chance to stretch out her hand.

"I wish the Queen Mother a long life than Nanshan."

"Why did you live so long? Your Majesty, I wish my children and grandchildren a full house. ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "I wish the Queen Mother a full house of children and grandchildren, a full house of great-grandchildren, and a full hall of great-great-grandchildren." ”

Empress Dowager Cining smiled, handed Qingzi to Tong Qing'e, and advised: "Qingzi has eaten enough today, concubine be careful, don't feed it within an hour, it's been hot recently, turn him over more......"

Tong Qing'e should be one by one, saluted the emperor, and hugged her son to retire.

Han Ruzi is really a little jealous, and his son has been pampered too much.

Empress Dowager Cining breathed a sigh of relief, "How difficult it is to raise a child, I'm really worried that I can't bear it." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Cining said: "Your Majesty wants to leave the capital again, right?" ”

"Queen Mother......" Han Ruzi's heart has not been revealed to anyone, he thinks he is hiding it well, and his mother is so focused on Qingzi that he can still see through it, which really surprises him.

"Your Majesty has stopped talking in front of me several times, presumably to wait for my birthday celebration to mention this matter."

Han Ruzi had to nod, "I only have one prince, not to the original promise, but ......"

"I agree."

Han Ruzi was even more surprised, he thought that the biggest resistance in the palace came from his mother, but he didn't expect it to pass so easily.

"But I have a few conditions."

"Queen Mother, please say, as long as I can do it......"

"Your Majesty can do it." Empress Dowager Cining interrupted her son's words, "First of all, Your Majesty can't go out of Beijing alone to patrol and hunt, you have to bring a concubine, if she can get pregnant on the road, it won't delay the business." ”

Han Ruzi couldn't cry or laugh, and letting the concubine get pregnant actually became the emperor's "business", "The queen mother, the road to hunting is quite difficult, and the concubine is afraid that she can't stand the long-distance bumps." ”

"Your Majesty took Jin Guifei for a long time, I chose it for Your Majesty, Concubine Deng Yun was born in a family of military generals, she is in good health, and she can ride a horse, she can always accompany Your Majesty, right?"

This is not an excessive condition, Han Ruzi said: "It's good for the Queen Mother to decide." ”

"Well, the second condition, I don't worry about Your Majesty going out of Beijing alone, and I don't worry about those people around Your Majesty, I will choose an entourage for Your Majesty from the Wang family and let him follow Your Majesty, I am also a little more relieved."

The emperor always has to take a lot of people with him when he travels, and he doesn't care about adding one, "Okay, which relative is it?" Do you want to be crowned an official first? ”

"No need, wait until I pick it, the Wang family is too honest, I have to pick a smarter one."

Han Ruzi agreed and felt that things were going well.

"The third condition, Your Majesty will issue a draft decree."

Zhang Youcai and Empress Dowager Cining mentioned this matter one after another, and Han Ruzi was slightly displeased, "Empress Dowager, you have no jokes, three years have not passed." ”

"I know this, there's still a year. His Majesty's decree is not an immediate draft, or next year, but just a letter to the world, so that all parties can prepare early. The Empress Dowager Cining paused, "I agreed to the original draft, Your Majesty thought that the country was difficult and not suitable for many things, so the draft was suspended, and the reason was right, but everyone in the world said that Your Majesty was good, but I thought I was a mediocre Queen Mother." ”

Han Ruzi immediately said: "At that time, I didn't think about it, I will issue a decree, and the queen mother will still preside over the draft, but the scale is not too large, and it doesn't last too long. ”

Empress Dowager Cining smiled: "I am also a daughter born in a poor family, and I still don't understand this truth?" Your Majesty, rest assured, I will choose first within this year, and as soon as the date of next year arrives, there will be results in a few days, at most ten people, not more, okay? ”

Han Ruzi agreed, his mother's request was not excessive, and it was difficult for him to take a tough attitude towards his mother.

The second level is the queen, this level is not difficult, Han Ruzi believes that the queen can understand her hardships.

Sure enough, after hearing about the emperor's decision that night, Cui Xiaojun only said one sentence, "Your Majesty wants to come back early." ”

The third level is the most difficult, and Han Ruzi has to get the ministers to agree.

In the past period of time, the monarch and the ministers got along quite well, and the emperor gave the prime minister full trust, which was the greatest power.

In this case, no one wants to see changes, in the capital, the information that the emperor sees is provided by the minister, and out of the capital, it is difficult for the emperor to control what he sees.

The emperor defeated Han Chou, the Marquis of Luoyang, on his first hunting tour, who knows if there will be similar unlucky eggs?

On the morning of the next day, Han Ruzi announced in the Qinzheng Hall that he was going to patrol the hunt, Yun Mengze was initially decided, the war in the East China Sea was unsettled, and there were still hidden dangers in the north, all of which were the places he was going to.

The ministers without exception raised objections, and the reasons were varied, such as wasting national strength, alarming the world, disturbing the imperial court, and making the queen mother suspenseful.

Han Ruzi refuted them one by one, and the ministers put forward new reasons, and for a whole morning, no result was reached.

There were more voices of opposition than Han Ruzi expected, and for three days in a row, the music flew like snowflakes, and the reasons for opposition were varied, and several ministers jointly pointed out that the stars in the sky had been unstable recently, and the emperor should not rush out of Beijing.

Han Ruzi was not in a hurry or impatient, he read every piece of music, and if he could say it publicly, he wrote it as a reply, and if it was not suitable for the content of the transcript, he said it to Zhao Ruosu in the form of consultation.

Han Ruzi revealed his determination to Zhao Ruosu, claiming that the patrol was imperative, and if he did not get the approval of the minister, he would directly lead the troops out of the city.

Then he silently observed, silently waiting for the wind to change.

The ministers arranged an observer at the emperor's side, which was a bully, but it could also be used.

Half a month later, the minister's attitude finally began to soften, and there was only one question left to argue about: where should the emperor go? (To be continued.) )
