Volume 1 102 Crowned King
In the third year of Haoyuan, Xinyouyue, Jihai Day, it is advisable to hang plaques, enter the house, migrate, and make a bed!
Early in the morning, Chu Haoyu sat on the chair helplessly and let the maid dress himself up. The jet-black hair was combed into strands and finally tied up with a hosta, and a lot of things were smeared on the face, the already white face looked white and red like a golden boy, and the sword eyebrows were also carefully combed, which was really like a crown of jade. Moreover, wearing a festive brocade robe, the collar and cuffs are embroidered with golden dragon patterns, showing wealth and festivity everywhere.
The Queen Mother sat on one side, not only looking at her most beloved son, but also the supervisor by the way, saving him from messing around.
In the silence, a eunuch walked in and bowed: "The Empress Dowager Qiyu, the Seventh Prince, the auspicious time is coming." ”
Nodding, the Queen Mother looked at Chu Haoyu carefully again before she spoke: "Okay." Xiao Qi, come, let my mother take a good look. ”
Hearing the queen mother's words, Chu Haoyu immediately stood up, and sighed at the same time: "It's finally good, but it's embarrassing to kill me......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the queen mother's soft voice.
Staring at Chu Haoyu, the Queen Mother pretended to be displeased and said: "Xiao Qi, you are crowned king and opened the mansion today, and you must not say unlucky words, remember?" Seeing Chu Haoyu nodding, the Queen Mother laughed and said, "My son is so handsome, let my mother take a good look!" ”
Although there was helplessness in his eyes, Chu Haoyu smiled and said, "Queen Mother, let's go!" ”
The Queen Mother nodded, but said, "Come, let my mother bring it to you!" As she spoke, the Queen Mother got up and took a piece of warm mutton fat jade from the palace maid. The pure white jade pendant is crystal white, delicate and moisturizing into the eyes and has a soft light, and the end is a piece of excellent jade.
Hanging the jade pendant on Chu Haoyu's waist with her own hands, the Queen Mother looked at it again for a moment, and said: "People are like jade horses and dragons, it's just that, and then my mother will choose a few good horses for you, and I will play as much as I want in the future, and no one will care about you anymore." ”
Chu Haoyu smiled and said: "It's still the queen mother's pain Xiaoqi, in the future, I will enter the palace every day to say hello to the queen mother!" ”
The Queen Mother laughed to herself and said, "You, pick the best ones to say." Tapping Chu Haoyu's head, the Queen Mother continued: "After the opening of the mansion, you will be the head of the family, and as a prince, you have more trouble than your brain, don't think about playing." Okay, go to the temple to say goodbye to your father! ”
Looking at the queen mother, Chu Haoyu knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times before walking out of the hall, and looking at Chu Haoyu's back, the queen mother's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Because the Queen Mother didn't want to be publicized, except for the Chu clan and a few important ministers, not too many people came to watch the ceremony, but pulling out one on the square and stomping on it could make the capital tremble.
The eldest Chu Haoran, the second Chu Haoyan, the fifth Chu Haoyuan, seven of their brothers, except for the fourth Chu Haoxu, who was demoted for chaos, that is, the third Chu Haoxuan, who was training in the army, also rushed back to participate in Chu Haoyu's king ceremony. The rest of the Chu clan members are either elders in the clan, or meritorious officials who have fought this country with Chu Tianfeng. As for the important ministers of the imperial court, the ministers of the three provinces and the six ministries have all arrived, and Chu Yuanjing, as the king of the county, can only be ranked last.
Looking at Chu Haoyu, who was dressed in brocade, walked slowly, although no one spoke, most of the eyes of everyone looked at him with appreciation, as well as a trace of emotion, the child who used to be playful has grown up.
When Chu Haoyu walked into the square, someone shouted loudly: "The auspicious time is here, enter the temple." ”
With the shouting, the gate of the temple slowly opened, but it was not Chu Haoran who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon who walked in the front, but an old man with white eyebrows. The old man Chu Shiyan is two generations older than the late Martial Emperor Chu Tianfeng, and is one of the only two remaining elders of the Chu family.
When everyone walked into the temple, the chant sounded again: "Kneel! Worship, worship; Second worship; Three worships! Rise! ”
Seeing that everyone stood up, Chu Shiyan nodded at Chu Haoran, and said in a deep voice: "My Chu clan has been in the clan for more than two hundred years, and today someone is crowned king, which is really the luck of my Chu family and the luck of the world, Xuan!" ”
When Chu Shiyan's words fell, except for Chu Shiyan and Chu Haoran, everyone knelt down again, and at the same time, a bright and calm voice sounded, reading: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Shengren Guangyun, where the sky is covered with earth, do not respect relatives; The emperor ordered the general Pu, and the sunrise at the corner of the sea, recklessly. In the past, my holy ancestor gave birth to many people. Turtle New Dragon Chapter, far away to the domain of Fusang; Zhenmin big seal, the mountain of Rongshi Zhenguo. Today, Emperor Wu's youngest son Haoyu has a good temperament and filial piety, and he is specially named the king of filial piety, hereditary, and gives the king a mansion, thousands of slaves and maids, and three hundred honor guards. And, according to the last order of the first emperor, he gave the seven-star sword, and he admired this! ”
In the elongated voice of the temple eunuch, except for Chu Haoran, everyone was stunned, no matter how much reward was expected, but there was a seven-star sword given by the first emperor, which surprised most people. You must know that the seven-star sword is Chu Tianfeng's sword, and he has gone through countless battles in his life, and everyone in the world knows the name of the seven stars. After Chu Tianfeng died, no one saw Chu Haoran use it, that is, Chu Hao's brothers all thought that the seven-star sword was buried with their father Chu Tianfeng, but at this moment, how could it not be shocking to hear that Chu Tianfeng actually passed the seven-star sword to Chu Haoyu?
At this moment, Chu Haoyu's face was also full of shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He naturally knew that he often played with the seven-star sword when he was a child, but when he heard that his father actually gave him the seven-star sword, Chu Haoyu was shocked, and there was a sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Seeing that Chu Haoyu was stunned, Chu Haoran chuckled lightly and said, "Xiao Qi, don't thank you yet!" ”
Chu Haoyu, who suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed and said: "Minister Chu Haoyu, thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”
When Chu Haoyu's words fell, all the kneeling people bowed together: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”
"Flat!" Chu Haoran waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and at the same time said to Chu Haoyu: "Xiao Qi, your father gave you the seven-star sword, you have to concentrate on martial arts, don't live up to the name of the seven-star sword, and live up to your father's love for you." ”
Chu Haoyu bowed down and said: "The younger brother must keep it in mind, and never let down the love of his father and the hard work of his eldest brother." ”
Nodding, Chu Haoran picked up a sword and stared at it for a moment before he spoke: "Give!" Remember, the sword has a spirit, you need to understand it with your heart, and don't insult the name of your father. ”
Taking the seven-star sword with both hands, Chu Haoyu said in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't worry, Xiao Qi will definitely not lose his father, eldest brother and this seven-star sword." ”
Looking at the firmness on Chu Haoyu's face, Chu Haoran smiled and said, "Xiao Qi has finally grown up, my Chu family boy is about to spread his wings and fly high, and the eldest brother hopes that you can smile and be proud for nine days." ”
At this moment, Chu Shiyan, who had white hair, also opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qi." ”
Seeing this, Chu Haoran hurriedly bowed down and saluted Chu Shiyan, and said respectfully: "Xiao Qi has seen Grandpa. ”
Looking at Chu Haoyu, Chu Shiyan looked kind, and said: "Xiaoqi, you have grown up and become a prince, but you must remember that righteousness can shake the sun and the moon!" ”
Chu Haoyu bowed down again and saluted Chu Shiyan, and said, "Xiao Qi has written it down, thank you grandpa." ”
Chu Shiyan nodded and chuckled, and after glancing at everyone, he said, "Shut up, retreat!" ”
Hearing Chu Shiyan say this, everyone slowly withdrew from the temple, but when they returned to the square, they were already lively, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Chu Haoyu, several brothers of the Chu family, people of the Chu clan, important ministers of the court, as for Chu Yuanjing, they couldn't squeeze in, but at this moment, there was a loud laugh.
Hearing the laughter, everyone immediately made a way out of the way, because the person who came was Chu Haoyu's third brother Chu Haoxuan.
Although Chu Haoran, Chu Haoxuan, and Chu Haoyu are brothers of the same mother, their appearance and bearing are very different. Chu Haoran looks like a deep mountain and has been in the top position for a long time, even if he smiles and gives people majesty, he is most like Martial Emperor Chu Tianfeng. Chu Haoxuan is tall, and he has practiced martial arts for a long time to give people a sense of might, coupled with the fact that he has been in battle for a long time, he looks like a fierce general on the battlefield. Among the three brothers, Chu Haoyu is thin and has a jade face, and has the shadow of the Queen Mother when she was a girl, which is also one of the reasons why he is most loved by the first emperor and the queen mother.
Walking to Chu Haoyu's side, Chu Haoxuan slapped him twice and shouted: "I haven't seen you for three years, you kid has finally grown up, but it's really good!" At the end of the words, Chu Haoxuan laughed even more.
Chu Haoyu has never seen the third brother since he returned to Beijing, and at this moment, he was also very happy to see the third brother Chu Haoyu, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you are back." ”
Patting Chu Haoyu on the shoulder, Chu Haoxuan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I came back too late yesterday and haven't entered the palace yet, I will go to see the queen mother in a while, and then I will go to your house to congratulate you." When the time comes, accompany the third brother to have a good drink or two. ”
Chu Haoyu nodded and said with a smile: Third brother, even if you don't say Xiao Qi, you have to toast you with two cups! ”
Suddenly, Chu Haoxuan burst into a burst of heroic laughter, opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qi has really grown up, and he couldn't say such things before. Okay, I'll go to see the queen mother first, you open the house today, let go of the play. ”
Seeing that everyone surrounded Chu Haoyu, Chu Haoran smiled at Chu Yuanbo who was standing on the side: "Xiaobo, you stay here, accompany Xiaoqi to Xiaowang's Mansion for a while, and my father will arrive later." ”
"The retainers obey!" While speaking, Chu Yuanbo bowed down and saluted his father, Chu Haoran.
Chu Haoran nodded and took the lead in leaving, and with his departure, in addition to the idle people, the officials of the various ministries also left.
Sending His Majesty and his entourage away, Chu Yuanjing no longer had any scruples, patted Chu Haoyu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Qi, how do you feel?" By the way, the Seven Star Sword let me play with it. While speaking, Chu Yuanjing directly waved his hand to snatch the seven-star sword, not wanting to be blocked by Chu Haoyu.
Staring at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Haoyu said with a smile: "The sword is not for playing, besides, didn't you kid say that you don't have a feeling for the sword, so you like to use the knife, I'll give you a treasure knife another day." ”
Chu Yuanjing didn't grab it again, but joked: "Yo, this king is different, and he speaks more politely than before." But you kid has to talk! ”
Glaring at Chu Yuanjing angrily, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you today, Xiaobo, let's go, go to the palace and have a look." ”
Nodding, Chu Yuanbo smiled and said, "Okay, but, Seventh Uncle, how do you feel?" Today, the emperor's grandmother and father have specially explained, everything is simple, otherwise I am afraid that you will suffer! ”
Chu Haoyu seemed to suddenly understand, and opened his mouth to say, "Why is it so simple when I say? I remember that when the sixth brother was crowned king, it took half a day just to worship, and I was about to fall asleep. By the way, Xiaobo, you have to let go of playing today, just like when you were a child. ”
Chu Yuanbo chuckled lightly, opened his mouth and said, "Okay, I haven't had fun for a long time." Everyone, let's go to the Xiaowang Mansion together, today Xiaoqi opens the mansion, we have to make a good fuss about him. ”
The prince spoke, and everyone agreed, and for a while, the atmosphere was high.
Although the Queen Mother did not want to publicize it, Chu Haoyu, as the favorite youngest son of the first emperor and the younger brother of His Majesty today, the matter of opening the palace of the king was still spreading. The excitement lasted until midnight, and the prince, who had always been cautious, was drunk, not to mention Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing, who were finally carried back.
