Chapter 537: Meet the New Emperor
Hearing that her cousin wanted to see her, Ji Ruhuan couldn't refuse, so she had to respond, the two went back to the house to clean up first, changed into clothes for entering the palace, and followed the eunuch directly into the palace.
On the carriage, Ji Ruhuan thought that there were still eunuchs beside the new emperor outside, and it was not good to talk loudly to the Nine Emperor Uncles, so she only whispered in the ears of the Nine Emperor Uncles and asked, "You said that the prince wants to see us at this time, will it have something to do with the fact that we went to the heavenly prison to see the queen?"
Dugu Chiyan also responded quietly, "It's time to change your name to the emperor, whether it's related or not, just know when you go." ”
Ji Ruhuan responded, "I'm just worried that the emperor will stop us." ”
Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and replied, "No, this emperor is a smart man, even if he has the intention to suppress us, he will not pick at this time." ”
Ji Ruhuan sighed, "Okay, if he really has a bad deal with us, if he wants to deal with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it." ”
Dugu Chiyan hugged Ji Ruhuan and patted him gently, comforting, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
In the end, they were still afraid of someone outside, so the two of them didn't say anything more, and quietly took the carriage to the palace.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he moved out of the East Palace and moved to the Qiankun Palace.
The Qiankun Palace really set up a banquet, and the queen was also there, except for the two of them, there was no one else, obviously waiting for them to come.
After the two of them gave a salute, the emperor greeted the two of them very warmly, sighed and greeted, and then got down to business.
First, the queen opened her mouth and asked Ji Ruhuan, "Ruhuan, I heard that you are going to take that Yin Guiren to the Xianwang Mansion?"
Ji Ruhuan nodded, I don't know when it started, and I was unconsciously wary of the new emperor and cousin queen, so I didn't intend to tell the truth, but just responded casually, "In the end, it is the mother of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and we won't take care of the children, so we just took Yin Guiren to take care of it." ”
The queen said with a worried face, "I have heard some things about Yin Guiren, this Yin Guiren seems to have some problems, I am afraid it is a little inappropriate for her to take care of Lao Qi." ”
Ji Ruhuan pretended to be surprised and looked at the queen's cousin, and asked, "Why?"
The queen sighed and responded, "Originally, I didn't pay much attention to this Yin Guiren's affairs, but it was only after you asked me to take care of her that I heard that Yin Guiren didn't seem to be very good to Lao Qi." ”
Ji Ruhuan responded with a smile, "A loving mother has many defeated children, a strict mother produces talented children, Yin Guiren is strict with the Seven Princes, and it must be for the good of the Seven Princes, she raises it herself, but she can't let me raise children badly." ”
At this time, the newly enthroned emperor on the side suddenly spoke up and sighed, "I don't know what my father thinks, why did he hand over the seventh child to you?
Ji Ruhuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he answered, "In the end, these seven princes were forced to become emperors by the Great Zhou in Qingcheng, and the first emperor was afraid that he would still be uncomfortable. ”
Since the new emperor didn't mention that the seventh prince was not the son of the first emperor, Ji Ruhuan didn't mention it either.
I heard the new emperor speak, "The son of a palace maid, who has no identity background, is still a child, and his father doesn't have to be afraid to announce his identity, what about the fiefdom of the king, a child, is it still impossible to rebel? Nine Emperor Uncle, do you say?"
Dugu Chiyan frowned slightly when he heard the new emperor's Nine Emperor Uncle, Ji Ruhuan was used to his Nine Emperor Uncle, and being called by others made him unspeakably awkward, and he felt very uncomfortable, but in terms of the current relationship, there was nothing wrong with the new emperor calling him Nine Emperor Uncle, and he was not easy to correct.
Seeing Dugu Chiyan, the new emperor only frowned slightly and didn't speak, his eyes flashed slightly, and he reminded, "Nine Emperor Uncle?"
Only then did Dugu Chiyan speak, and said lightly, "The emperor decided like this, and he has his reasons, and since it is his will, we will do it." ”
Hearing Dugu Chiyan's answer so cautiously, he couldn't hear anything from it at all, and a trace of disappointment flashed imperceptibly in the emperor's eyes, so he had to open his mouth to echo, "What Uncle Nine Emperor said is, but I think about it a lot." ”
Dugu Chiyan finally couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty has now ascended the throne and is the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems a little inappropriate to call me the Nine Emperor Uncle again." ”
The new emperor was stunned, the doubts on his face flashed, and he replied with a respectful face, "You are an elder, even if I ascend the throne, of course you are still my Nine Emperor Uncle." ”
Dugu Chiyan insisted, and said in the tone of an elder, "Your Majesty has ascended the throne as the emperor, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, and show the prestige that the emperor should have, so as to deter the courtiers." ”
Dugu Chiyan rarely happens like this, the emperor was slightly stunned when he heard it, and it took a while to come back to his senses, the expression on his face was slightly complicated, but he quickly returned to normal, and he answered, "What King Xian said is that I am not thoughtful enough, and I hope you will remind you more in the future." ”
Hearing that the emperor changed his words, Dugu Chiyan nodded with satisfaction.
However, Dugu Chiyan himself, even Ji Ruhuan didn't know what was going on with him.
How could a man who had never had much to do suddenly discipline the emperor? Did he really intend to be a conscientious assistant minister and supervise the new emperor at all times?
Although he was puzzled, because of the occasion, Ji Ruhuan didn't ask much.
Dugu Chiyan opened his mouth and asked, "The emperor summoned us to say that there is something to discuss, what is the so-called matter?"
It may be that Dugu Chiyan is unusual, speaking too fast, the emperor couldn't keep up with the rhythm for a while, and was slightly stunned before he opened his mouth to respond, sighing and responding, "My father suddenly let go, and many things suddenly fell on my head, which really made me a little overwhelmed, and some things were even a little difficult to start, and I asked King Xian to help a lot." ”
After talking a lot, he couldn't get to the point, Dugu Chiyan tried to hide the impatience in his heart, and said, "What is the emperor talking about?"
The new emperor observed Dugu Chi Yan and said, "I took advantage of the return of Jiang Hang, the chief soldier of the Nanyang Army, and discussed the situation in the south with him. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he paused and observed the change in the expression on King Xian's face, but unfortunately King Xian had no expression on his face at all, so he sat there indifferently, looking like he continued to listen to him.
The emperor had no choice but to continue, "So I want to temporarily allocate the Imperial Forest Army to the Nanyang Army, what do you think, King Xian?"
Ji Ruhuan frowned secretly when she heard this, the Imperial Forest Army was in the hands of the three princes, did the emperor plan to take the military power in the hands of the three princes so quickly?
