Chapter 127: The Selection of the Horses
Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong took the lead out of the Yongsu Palace, and their extremely lonely backs quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
Looking at the backs, Zhu Qiming couldn't tell what kind of taste was in his heart, and after a moment of dazedness, he suddenly woke up, only to find that it was the season of looking at the willows along the river in 5969 below, and what came into his eyes was a shallow willow green.
"His Royal Highness has ruined another secretary and let His Highness discuss politics, thinking about it at this moment, the old man regrets it a little!"
Yang Pu walked past Zhu Qiming, stopped slightly, glanced at Zhu Qiming lightly, and then walked away.
At this time, any justification seemed redundant, Zhu Qiming thought about it, and finally chose to be silent.
Yang Pu slowed down his pace, but did not look back, "The situation in the future is difficult to predict, and many variables may not be what His Highness wants to see." Alas, the old man still has to talk to His Highness. ”
"Elder Yang Ge is going to violate the system again?"
"Violation? Where did the violation come from? The Son of Heaven is the regulation! ”
Yang Pu shook his head, and his figure quickly disappeared into the willow green.
"The recruitment of Minzhuang is over, it's a pity!"
The emperor left Wang Zhen and walked out of the Yongsu Palace alone, stopped beside Zhu Qiming, and sighed to himself, but there was no disappointment on his face.
Zhu Qiming didn't have such a good mood as the emperor, the strategy of controlling the seven guards in Kansai was shelved, and the future Ming Dynasty might have to struggle in the situation of the rivers and rivers. There is no way, sending a large army to garrison the Seven Guards in Kansai, asking some people to increase taxes in advance, and cutting off people's financial routes afterwards, which will damage people at both ends, so the resistance is extremely great, and the interests involved are complicated, which is not something that he can control as a prince.
Moreover, the anti-war voice above the temple is extremely high, and all officials have their own thoughts, unless a catastrophe is coming, otherwise, if you want to gather a firm will to war, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!
Fortunately, the fact that he, the prince, led the Yuefu Guards to fight was unanimously acquiesced in by the civil and military ministers, which was a certainty. However, if the gains and losses are calculated, it must be the Son of Heaven who benefits from the battle against the Tartars, and he, the prince, is just a wish, which has nothing to do with gains and losses, and it really has to be counted as a personal account, but the risk and benefit are obviously not proportional!
"It's time for the DPRK and China to have some new faces." The young emperor's eyes were shining, and he seemed to be full of longing for the future of pro-government.
Zhu Qiming didn't dare to speak rashly, and agreed with the fact that the era of the emperor's pro-government had arrived in advance, but he was not optimistic about the future of those so-called newcomers, the reason was very simple, although Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong would fade out of the government, their influence was still everywhere, and it was not necessarily any newcomer who would fill the vacancy in the future.
"I know that some talented officials have been suppressed for many years, and the assistant ministers may not really take those people to heart, and although I appreciate their talents, I may not be able to stand their temperament."
Zhu Qiming's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered Yu Qian. Zhu Qiming has heard many rumors about Yu Qian, and has also read his playbook, so he has a very good impression of Qian. However, if you do a certain job as an official, no one will look at how capable you are in doing things, nor how noble your moral character is, but whether your words and deeds can make all aspects satisfied and comfortable, but unfortunately, Yu Qian obviously can't make all aspects feel comfortable. Alas, Yu Qian doesn't look like a mixed officialdom, and his prominence may be pinned on coincidence.
"Your Majesty, the virtuous minister of the Song Dynasty Fu Bi said: 'Don't take the same and different as joy and anger, and don't take joy and anger as a sacrifice'. People know people, and they value virtue and talent, not appearance. As soon as the words came out, Zhu Qiming regretted it, it was a big exception to be able to participate in the court today, how could he not know how to advance and retreat, mistakenly think that he was a member of the temple and discuss the government again?
Fortunately, the emperor was in a very good mood, and he didn't seem to care about Zhu Qiming's mouth, chuckled a few times, and suddenly smiled, "There is a courtyard at the northwest end of the palace, I have ordered someone to repair it, and it won't be long before you can move there to live, and it will be quiet." ”
The palace annex? Zhu Qiming thought that the place was close to the residence of the concubines and concubines, which was not much better than the cold palace, and he was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, the emperor's wedding was imminent, and he was a prince, what kind of system did he always wander around in a lively place?
Just go back to live in Yuefu! This thought only flashed in my mind, and I didn't dare to declare it.
"The imperial sister is about to surrender, it is difficult to determine the candidate for the commander of the horse, the internal and external ministers have selected three people, all of them are waiting for the order on the side of Ling Xuan Pavilion, I can't make up my mind for a while, you call the king of Shangyu, go and see, help me come up with an idea."
The most standard way to say that the royal princess is married is called surrender or descent, and the phoenix descended to the people, which means something like this. And the princess marrying the princess cannot be called "marry", but "Shang", called Princess Shang, with the meaning of respect.
Zhu Qiming didn't have time to dwell on these details, he didn't dare to take this errand rashly, and muttered in his heart. Do I have an idea? If everyone is not satisfied afterwards, won't countless grievances be sprinkled on me?
"Your Majesty, Princess Changde is the princess, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must be very concerned about this matter."
As soon as Zhu Qiming started, he saw that the emperor looked very nervous.
"In Yichen's opinion, I am afraid that this matter will have to be decided by Princess Changde herself, of course, Your Majesty has decided that this matter is justified, but it is just ······ Who knows what Princess Changde thinks? ”
The emperor pondered for a long time, "In the final analysis, this matter is a family matter, and it is inconvenient for me to ask the ministers of the court. You and the king of the servants go to see it first. According to the regulations, the princess is not allowed to leave the harem, but there are many things that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother may not be able to see, and I can't see it. Yan Bi glanced at Zhu Qiming very meaningfully, and turned to leave.
The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and he can throw any trouble at others, and he will be clean!
Naturally, you can't say such words, you can't even think about it! Zhu Qiming immediately took up his thoughts and walked quickly towards the Qingyuan Palace, where there were still people waiting for him.
When I returned to the Qingyuan Palace, I saw Lu Xiyu standing up from the side of the piano case.
"Sister, where's the gentleman?"
"There seems to be an urgent matter over there in Hanlin Temple, and someone called me to go." Lu Xiyu glanced at Zhu Qiming, "Did you win?" ”
Zhu Qiming recalled the scene during the court meeting, and the imprint in his mind seemed to have faded. "The emperor won."
Lu Xiyu was slightly surprised, and then smiled lightly, "That's not the same." Then he pointed to the piano case, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn the piano, I brought the piano." ”
Zhu Qiming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he wanted to go to the piano case and take a seat, but suddenly remembered what the emperor ordered, so he shook his head helplessly. "Another day, sister, the emperor has something to tell me to do today."
Lu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little disappointed, "Then I'll go home." ”
Looking at the back of Lu Xiyu leaving, Zhu Qiming wanted to invite her to Lingxuan Pavilion to see the excitement, but when he thought of her temperament, he had to pick up that thought.
instructed the chamberlain to invite King Yu, and Zhu Qiming's mind returned to Princess Changde's lifelong event.
Unexpectedly, when King Yu saw Zhu Qiming, it was as if he had encountered a great happy event, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Hey, hey, the imperial sister is going to surrender, this is a great joy!" ”
Zhu Qiming was surprised. When Princess Changde surrenders, there will be no one to control you, right? Look, you're having fun!
Raising his eyes and looking behind the King of Servants, he saw the three female King Kong standing there tigerically, thinking how much King Servants would like to be replaced by a few eye-catching palace maids! Surrounded by these three King Kongs every day, I am afraid that I will have nightmares when I close my eyelids, and this account will naturally be counted on the head of Princess Changde.
"Brother Yu, Princess Changde has a noble status, and the emperor attaches great importance to the selection of the captain. Let's go. ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhu Qiming thought about it and felt that Fang Cai's words were not scene words, but from the heart. Over the years, Princess Changde never seems to treat him as an outsider, and there is sisterhood between joy and anger, and when she thinks of this, she feels reluctant to give up.
Among all the women in the world, Princess Changde's identity is the most noble, and she is so beautiful, I don't know which stinky man will be cheaper! Zhu Qiming couldn't help but curse secretly.
The three palace maids behind the Yu Dynasty on the side waved their hands fiercely and left them here.
"Hey, I'm afraid the imperial sister will be out next month." King Yu laughed.
Zhu Qiming couldn't help but glance at King Yu, "How can it be so fast!" ”
Ling Xuan Pavilion was close to Wenyuan Pavilion, not far from Qingyuan Palace, and before Zhu Qiming and King Yu could talk warmly, they saw Jin Ying hurriedly greet him.
"The two highnesses Jin An, the emperor has orders, and the Sprinkle family has been waiting here for a long time."
King Yu approached Jin Ying and asked eagerly, "Father-in-law Jin, how do those three people look?" Is it a beautiful man? ”
"This······ It's not clear to the Sprinkle family. Jin Ying stretched out his hand to invite Zhu Qiming and King Yu to go upstairs, "The two highnesses will take a look later." ”
"The children of civilian families, if they don't look good, they will definitely not be selected, well, they must all be beautiful men." The King muttered.
The three of them walked lightly, but they still made a slight noise on the floor.
Kim Young smiled and stopped. "Your Royal Highness, the three of them are not commoners, they have a great background, and the Sprinkle family knows their family background. One is named Chen Fang, the second son of Chen Yi, the commander of the old capital; One is named Luo Yu, the third son of Luo Yaohui, the commander of the old capital; There is also a man named Xue Huan, who is even more amazing, he is the youngest son of Xue Lu, the Duke of Yinguo. ”
Zhu Qiming's heart moved, thinking that the emperor did not look for the children of commoners in this selection of the concubine, but limited the selection scope to meritorious heroes, this alone is enough to see that the emperor treats Princess Changde extraordinarily, and it is understandable for his sister to play a sideline ball such as breaking the example. However, the three heroes have all passed away, and the three selected are not the eldest sons, so they cannot take the throne and take the position, so such an exception is not a violation, in the final analysis, those three are also amateurs.
Zhu Qiming didn't know anything about Chen Fang and Luo Yu's family backgrounds, but he had heard of Xue Huan. Xue Huan's father, Xue Lu, was a well-known figure, who was martyred with Emperor Yongle and made outstanding achievements in battle, and was given an iron coupon equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death; In the first year of Xuande, he pacified the rebellion of the Han King with the Xuande Emperor, and then served as the general of Zhenshuo several times, inspecting the frontier, and was the Marquis of Yangwu and the governor of the right capital during his lifetime.
Zhu Qiming's curiosity increased greatly, and he immediately left Jin Ying, walked up to the attic with King Yu, and walked forward, through the gap in the bead curtain, he saw three young men sitting in the main hall below.
