Chapter 10 After the Peace Conference
The sun converged its blinding light and turned into a golden disc. The cloudless sky, blue, like a clear lake. Slowly, the color became more and more intense, like a lake deepening. The magnificent palace in the distance, painted with a layer of golden yellow under the reflection of the setting sun, looks particularly majestic.
Jing Zetian and more than a dozen forbidden troops rode horses in Hua'an City, the people on the streets have become fewer and fewer, many shops have begun to prepare to close, in ancient times without lights, people's work and rest time is very regular, sunrise, sunset, sparse people on the street saw Jing Zetian and others, they all gave way to the road, and after the horse team left, they raised their heads and looked at the gorgeously dressed young man, and they were a little puzzled about the identity of this young man, but this was only a few seconds of thought, and when the horse team was goneand they don't think about it anymore. Jing Zetian rode his horse, and it didn't take long for him to cross the long streets and reach the outside of the palace. The red wall and green tile, the wall is towering, covering the sky and the sun, the majestic palace, the momentum is magnificent, the solemn palace rises the splendid golden top, depends on each other, the height is staggered, the scales are one after another, and the distance looks at it to attract people to worship.
Jing Zetian had been in and out of the palace many times, but he found that he felt different today, an indescribable feeling. He couldn't help but think of a joke he once saw: "When Pu Yi returned to the Forbidden City, he actually asked for a ticket, and then Pu Yi said what kind of ticket do I want when I go home." "Now this palace is his home, Jing Zetian sometimes thinks about it, but Pu Yi's situation will not happen to him.
Jing Zetian didn't go to his father to report the situation, it was better for Li Yuanshang to talk about this kind of thing, what he wanted to do most now was to hurry back to Zhengyang Palace and let his mother rest assured, now Concubine Zhen must be worried about him.
After Jing Zetian gave the horse to the forbidden army, he ran towards Zhengyang Palace, after all, he couldn't ride a horse in the palace. As soon as he arrived outside Zhengyang Palace, Jing Zetian shouted loudly: "Mother, the emperor is back." ”
Concubine Zhen, who was anxious in the center of the Zhengyang Palace, heard the shouting, and immediately trotted out, hugged Jing Zetian into her arms, and said excitedly: "The emperor is back, but I can be regarded as reassuring the mother concubine, since you came out of the Zhengyang Palace today, I have not been sure." ”
"Mother is too worried, I said that I will definitely be fine, and I have made meritorious service today." Jing Zetian said proudly, as long as he was in front of Concubine Zhen, Jing Zetian found that his mental age was the same as his physical age.
"Meritorious service is not important, it is important that you are okay." Concubine Zhen pulled Jing Zetian's little nose and said.
When the two mother and son were in deep love, Qiu Xiang and Ruhua also ran to Jing Zetian at this moment and greeted him, both of them asking questions with concern.
Jing Zetian's heart was warm, this is what it feels like to be at home.
"Ruhua, Your Highness, I'm hungry, make me something light today." Jing Zetian felt a burst of hunger in his stomach as he spoke to everyone.
"Okay, Your Highness, I'll make you mung bean cake to eat today." Said gently as a flower on the side. Ruhua and Qiu Xiang have different tempers, and if in modern times, Ruhua is a typical wife candidate.
"Well, you go and sit down, mother, let's go back to the palace, and I'll tell you about today's thrilling scene." Jing Zetian said exaggeratedly to Concubine Zhen.
"You kid, don't keep scaring me, the more dangerous you say, the more solid my heart will be." Concubine Zhen shook her head and said.
"Hehe, you know me, it's still the mother concubine, in fact, it didn't go well at the beginning of today, and it was completely unexpected by my father and ministers......" Jing Zetian told in detail what happened today.
"Hey, mother, let go, it hurts!" As soon as Jing Zetian finished talking about today's process, Concubine Zhen grabbed his ear with her hand.
"Hmph, if the mother concubine doesn't teach you a good lesson today, you will become more and more bold, what if Uss Khan suddenly attacks you, although there is a forbidden army, but I still know the combat effectiveness of the steppe people, you are really angry with me." Concubine Zhen angrily tugged at Jing Zetian's ears.
"Eh, mother, let go, I can't help it at that time, I can't bear to watch my people and country being bullied and indifferent." Jing Zetian explained. As soon as his words fell, Concubine Zhen's hand also let go.
"Hey, you kid, you didn't worry about anything before, but now I realize that you know so much in your heart." Concubine Zhen also said helplessly.
"Everyone has to grow up, and the emperor has already tied his hair, and it is time to grow up." Jing Zetian explained.
"Okay, you should be out of the cabinet in two years, it will not be easy for you and me to meet at that time, and I won't be able to control you when the time comes." Concubine Zhen said with some melancholy.
"Don't worry, concubine, I'll come back to see you often when the time comes, and I'll make a great contribution this time, just let my father assign me a fief close to Jingshi when the time comes." Jing Zetian said with a smile.
"Emperor, you are still too young, you haven't found that apart from the crown prince, which of your royal brothers is in the nearest fief in Beijing." Concubine Zhen pointed.
"Oh? Mother, don't you say that I haven't found out yet, none of the royal brothers are near Jingshi. Jing Zetian only found out about this at this time, he was too far away from the pavilion before, and he didn't expect this. I only heard Concubine Zhen continue: "My Dahua Jianguo has been quelling the rebellion, and the vicinity of Jingshi is the most stable, so when the prince leaves the cabinet, the fiefdom is in the most unpeaceful place to suppress the rebellion for your father." Now even if the rebellion has been put down, the root of the evil is still in the family gate. Now your imperial uncles, royal brothers, and fiefdoms basically have the existence of family forces, and I said this, do you understand? ”
Jing Zetian listened to Concubine Zhen's words, and actually understood the intention of doing this in his heart. Using people in the royal family to govern the place where the family is located, conflicts will definitely break out. After all, the family is not muddy, some families who do not obey the control will rebel, and then there will be a rebellion, where there is a rebellion, where there is a rebellion, where there is a fight, so in addition to the remnants of the original vassal states, the rest of the families who have been dying in these years are those who are disobedient. Those who had temporarily compromised escaped the purge. Jing Zetian only understood today why the country had been founded, and there would be so many rebellions, which lasted for thirty years at once. However, it can be seen that the strength of Dahua's royal family is not really strong, and the power of the family is consumed in this way, and the emperor is really not something that ordinary people can do. Jing Zetian couldn't help but think of his father, although he didn't care enough about the princes, he did his best for the country.
"Well, thank you for your guidance, the emperor understands, don't talk about the future, the emperor will accompany the mother in the past two years."
Jing Zetian said coquettishly. He also suddenly realized that the women in the palace are not simple.
"Well, okay, you go get something to eat, you're tired from the day, go back and have a good rest." Concubine Zhen said softly to Jing Zetian.
"Well, the boy is gone." Jing Zetian said that he left Concubine Zhen's inner room.
After eating and drinking, the young Jing Zetian did not have a beauty to accompany him, and continued to lie on the bed and look at his jokes, and by the way, he also posted a joke of his own: "Today, this prince will meet the enemy leader alone, and the enemy's 100,000 troops are opposite me, but this prince has no fear, through my superb eloquence and amazing wisdom, I have reduced the greatest loss for my country. ”
After posting, Jing Zetian gradually entered the dream, and he didn't have to think about the following reply, it was basically 666's flattery.
