Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky

In May of the 18th year of the Ming Dynasty, Ren Yin (21), the emperor's throne. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The division set up the supervisor Chen Yuzao in Fengtianmen, the Qin Tianjian set the time drum, the Shangbao Division set up the treasure case, and the Jiaofang Division set up the Zhonghe Shaole, because the Daxing Emperor Bintian, set up and did not do.

On the morning of the same day, he sent the British Gong Zhang Mao to tell the heavens and the earth, the new Ningbo Bo Tan You to the Zongmiao, and the Hui'an Bo Zhang Wei to the Sheji, and the relatives to tell the Emperor Daxing (who did not confirm the name after his death) a few feasts (spiritual position) to meet the Empress Dowager.

At that time, the halo book is set up, the emperor is crowned, the royal gate of heaven, the hundred officials are plain clothes, enter the noon gate, and the deacon of the Honglu Temple will salute, please ascend to the throne.

The Imperial Palace of Heaven ascended the throne, and ordered the civil and military officials to be exempted from congratulations and declarations, and to stop bowing five times and kowtowing three times.

Then an edict was issued to amnesty the world, and the edict said: But my emperor is born by heaven and is the owner of the people and goods in the world......

Finally survived this series of rituals with difficulty, Chen Yu only felt that his head was buzzing, standing in the Fengtian Palace, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was not very good.

Compared with the crying ministers of these mechanical classes, Zhu Houzhao is really sad and haggard, this is not from physical haggardness, but from the heart.

Seeing the deep relationship between this little guy and Emperor Hongzhi, Chen Yu wanted to comfort him, but he knew that this was a fool's dream.

Gu Dingchen on the side also wiped two handfuls of tears from time to time, and smiled in Chen Yu's heart, Gu Fatzi discussed with Xie Pi and Chen Yu when he came, what if he couldn't cry at that time? Chen Yu suggested that he carry chili peppers with him, and this fat man really did so.

Now a pair of eyes are red and swollen like something, and he can't see anything even if he has a big head and a fat face.

Finally waited for the next court, and the difficult ten days made the ministers' bodies almost empty, Zhu Houzhao gave them a day off, and the ministers gave up their resignation and returned to the house to rest.

Just when Chen Yu, Gu Fatzi and others were also preparing to return to the Hanlin Courtyard, the celebrant and eunuch Chen Kuan kept Chen Yu, his vocal cords were not big, his voice was very low, and he said: "Chen Hanlin stays, the emperor is invited to the East Warm Pavilion." ”

Chen Yu nodded, turned back to Gu Dingchen and Xie Pi and said, "The two senior brothers will go back first, and I will come when I go." ”

Gu Fatzi glanced at Chen Yu jealously, then turned his head away, and said in his heart, why can this kid get holy favor? It seems that in the future, we will learn from him!

Yang Tinghe, a scholar from Chunfang University who had just left Fengtian Temple, also glanced at Chen Kuan and Chen Yu, with an indescribable taste in his eyes, but Chen Yu could see that this old guy was jealous.

Indeed, Yang Tinghe, as Zhu Houzhao's teacher, has accompanied him for many days and nights, teaching and preaching to solve doubts, but in the end, he is not as good as a playmate in the market, how can he not make people angry?

Don't care so much, Chen Yu followed Chen Kuan towards the East Pavilion, and when he saw that there was no one else on the side of the road, Chen Yu opened his mouth and said: "Lord Chen is from his own family, and the kid has seen it." ”

Although Chen Kuan, as the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, is in charge of major matters such as criticizing red, many foreign officials disdain them, and there are not many people who can be as intimate as Chen Yu and take the initiative to recognize his own family, he suddenly had a good impression of Chen Yu in his heart, and the smile that had not been shown for a long time also squeezed out an ugly smile and said: "Chen Hanlin is polite." ”

"Gonggong Chen is also tired these days, and he can do this for the first emperor, Gonggong Chen has made a great contribution!" Chen Yu said.

Chen Kuan said: "This is what the old slave should do. Thinking of Emperor Hongzhi, Chen Kuan also struggled to squeeze out two tears.

Chen Yu is not worldly, nor is he disdainful of the servants like Liu Jian Xie Qian, but he gives them due respect, after all, they are all human beings, not forced to that step, who can do this kind of thing of cutting off children and grandchildren?

Moreover, the eunuchs are not necessarily all psychopaths, such as Zhang Min, Huaien and others in the former dynasty.

Before entering the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Chen Kuan stopped, bowed his waist and asked Chen Yu to enter: "The old slave will be sent here, Chen Hanlin please." ”

Strange, the celebrant and eunuch are supposed to be the most trusted people next to the emperor, why didn't Chen Kuan enter the warm pavilion?

After entering the warm pavilion, Chen Yu found out the reason, Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the dragon collapse, there was a pot of tea on the desk, and Liu Jin stood beside Zhu Houzhao respectfully, after he saw Chen Yu, he nodded slightly.

It can be seen that the status of the chamberlain Liu Jin in the palace has also risen with Zhu Houzhao's coming to power.

"Chen Yu, are you here?" Zhu Houzhao saw the familiar face, and only then did he react slightly from the loss, and he waved his hand to Liu Jin beside him and said, "You go down first, lonely...... I had a few words with Chen Tingyu alone. ”

It seems that Zhu Houzhao has not adapted to the change of identity for a while.

Liu Jin nodded and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, your body is important, the old slave retreated." ”

When he walked to Chen Yu's side, he whispered to Chen Yu: "Tingyu, hurry up and persuade the emperor, I haven't eaten well for a few days, and I have lost weight, how can I go on like this?" ”

Chen Yu nodded, came to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Hanlin Academy has seen the emperor. ”

"There are no outsiders, what's polite?" Zhu Houzhao said a little lost: "Do you want to be the same as them?" ”

"Well, there should be etiquette, of course." Chen Yu said: "Don't be too sad about the emperor, Emperor Daxing has passed away these days, and I don't want the emperor to be sad day and night and miss state affairs." ”

"My father has doted on me since I was a child, although he has focused on state affairs and rarely asks me about it, but he has never lost his love for me." Zhu Houzhao remembered the past, his expression became lost again, and he said: "If you say that you are not sad, it is all false." But those old ministers, kings, grandsons, and relatives only thought about how to let me follow their procedures, and even when I needed to cry and when I couldn't cry. Is this the emperor? ”

It is true that there is no way to do this, for the sake of the dignity of the empire, for the sake of the ancestral law, the old ministers of the cabinet have done nothing wrong, but Zhu Houzhao is still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child after all, although he is mentally mature, but these things are not something that he can accept as a child at once.

They only asked too much of Zhu Houzhao, but they never cared about the child's inner world, Chen Yu said: "I'll tell you a story." ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked, turned around from Shicai's sad memories, and said expectantly: "Okay, I haven't heard you tell a story for a long time." ”

The two seemed to return to Qiantang County when they first met, Chen Yu smiled and said: "In the distant country of Guloulan, there is a man who does good all day long, at the age of thirty to have a son, after the age of forty, this man neglected to discipline the child, the child is getting worse and worse, because of a dispute, killed another child in the town, the government learned about it and wanted to enforce the law, the man for the child to take the blame, but go away, the child is not only not grateful, but more and more indulgent, one night, he returned drunk, looking at the stars in the sky, There was one of the brightest stars speaking to herself. ”

It turned out that the brightest star was transformed by the child's father, and he said that he saw everything the child did, and he was very sad...... After that night, the child's personality suddenly changed, and after that, he got up to study, entered the court, and was kind every day. ”

"So sometimes, when people die, they never leave us, and the brightest star in the sky will always watch over you!"

"Is my father too?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Well, of course yes, it has not left you." Chen Yu smiled: "Sometimes death may be another relief, the first emperor gave you this picturesque country, and supervised you in the sky every day, hoping that you can add the most beautiful picture in this picturesque country." ”

"But I don't think I'm ready, I don't want to be the emperor, I just want to have fun, like I used to be in Qiantang County." Zhu Houzhao said.

Many people want to break their heads and want to be your position, but you don't want to do it, Chen Yu suddenly felt speechless and choked, I really want to say, don't let it go to me!

"I can't make decisions about marriage, and they don't need me to ask about political affairs, I'm like a puppet, those ministers are going to resign at every turn to scare me!" Zhu Houzhao said: "There is no freedom at all! ”

"Chen Yu, what do you say this emperor should do?" Zhu Houzhao handed a pot of water on the desk to Chen Yu, Chen Yu didn't feel inappropriate, he drank it up, and said, "The emperor needs to explore it a little bit." ”

"Then can I expand my territory?" Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Chen Yu was speechless for a while, why is this guy's inner world different from ordinary people? Or is he already above the ordinary?

"Yes, this is the immortal miracle of the emperors of the past dynasties, but it is just ......"

"Bold!" There was a burst of shouts outside the door, "You don't know the rules, I can't imagine that you are here to confuse the public, if you are not expelled from the center, you may have to make some moths!" ”

Yang Tinghe didn't know when he pushed the door in, and his face became more and more angry, "As a courtier, there are no rules, and the Holy Dragon Cha'er allows it casually, what kind of system does it become?" ”

Liu Jin said worriedly: "Your Majesty...... I...... I can't stop it. ”

"Hmph, dog minion, you are also a petty person, delay the affairs of the Holy Lord and kill Chen Tingyu together." In the end, Yang Tinghe was already screaming, as if Chen Yu and Liu Jin had defiled him together.

Liu Jin's face twitched slightly, and then changed to a normal face, and the whole person pretended to nod his head. Zhu Houzhao gave him a look, and Liu Jing bowed and retired.

"Mr. Yang, I'm discussing with Chen Yu, and I'm afraid there's something wrong with trespassing, right?" Zhu Houzhao said.

Yang Tinghe's face was stunned, he never thought that Zhu Houzhao would help Chen Yu, so he immediately took off the black sand on his head, knelt down and said: "Please ask the emperor to surrender his guilt, the old minister, and pray for the scholar." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Chen Yu helplessly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and pretended to be affectionate and helped Yang Tinghe up and said, "Mr. Yang, where are these words?" ”

"Please condemn Your Majesty for Chen Tingyu's disrespectful crime!" Yang Tinghe said.

At this time, Liu Jin outside the hall ran back again, and he panted and said, "Your Majesty, the old Sange is here." ”

"Please."

Chen Yu knew that this was Zhu Houzhao changing tricks to save himself, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart, only to see that Xie Qian had not arrived, and the sound had arrived, and he laughed and said: "Brother Jiefu, how can I, a student, offend you?" ”

Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said to Zhu Houzhao: "There is still something to do in the Hanlin Academy, and the ministers will leave!" ”

He knew what the three pavilion elders were doing, but he didn't expect Chen Tingyu's foundation to be so strong, so he left with interest.

He Yang Tinghe didn't know Chen Yu's contribution, but the three pavilion elders were people who understood, just based on the last words of Emperor Hongzhi's deathbed, the three old pavilion elders also had to protect Chen Tingyu!

Looking at the back of Yang Tinghe leaving, Liu Jin snorted fiercely, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
