Chapter 122: Visit Kaiji
After Jian Qing left, Zhao Di sat alone in the study for a while.
As soon as Zhao came in, he woke up from his contemplation and asked, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”
"The imperial grandson is with Your Majesty, and there is nothing wrong with Niangniang."
"Change your clothes, enter the palace!"
In the cold palace, Zhao Di was coming, and Concubine Yuan asked Aman to build a brazier. These days, the Ministry of Industry sent someone to repair this cold palace, the windows were re-pasted with window paper, the doors and windows were replaced with new ones, and after the roof tiles were renovated, they were no longer ventilated.
Concubine Yuan was making clothes, and it could be seen that she was going to make them for Zhao Di. Zhao Di sat on the side, stretched out his hand and roasted on the brazier for a while, "It's not that no one makes clothes around the son, why does Mother Lao take the needle and thread herself?" ”
"Can someone else do the same as a mother does?" Concubine Yuan said with a smile, "Back then, my mother knew that she had you in her belly, so she specially invited the embroidery girl to teach her mother to do needlework, just like making clothes for you to wear. ”
Ah Man came in with tea, "Your Highness, Niangniang has a lot of time to get needlework in this life, and no one else is qualified to wear the clothes made by Niangniang." ”
Zhao Di's eye sockets were a little hot, his hand was on his mother's knee, and his knee was a little cold, and he was covered by his palm, "Does my mother know a person named Kaiji?" ”
"Kaiji? You know, the people under the account of King Ruyang back then, King Ruyang told me several times that this person was decisive and talented, what's wrong? What does this man do, you ask? Concubine Yuan put down the needle and thread and rubbed Zhao Di's head, "Beiyuan is no longer there, even if you are still Beiyuan now, you are just the son of a princess, and your status is still more humble than that of the princes." Although your father dislikes you, he has to admit that among all the princes, you are the most valuable one, and you have the blood of the royal families of the two dynasties. ”
"Also, the rise and fall of dynasties, like the rising sun and the setting of the moon. The Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than 700 years, which is considered a very long time, and then it was not after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and finally the imperial power declined and was replaced by the Qin Dynasty. And Qin, after two lifetimes, has become the world of the Liu family again. ”
"I know!"
"Since the death of Emperor Min, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has fallen apart, the country is not there, and I am the only one who has left the bloodline of Emperor Min, and now the heirs of Emperor Wenzong are still fleeing everywhere. When Emperor Wenzong poisoned his brother Emperor Mingzong, he inherited the throne, and set up a seven-year-old son as the emperor before his death, who knows, died in less than two months. Empress Wenzong welcomed Emperor Mingzong's eldest son as emperor, who is your maternal grandfather. ”
Of course, Zhao Di knows this period of history.
"The emperors of the world are all in turn." Concubine Yuan advised, "My son must remember that your surname is Zhao." ”
"In the eyes of the Ming courtiers, the child may not be surnamed Zhao."
"It doesn't matter what they think, it matters what you think." Concubine Yuan said, "Back then, the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not treat the Central Plains people as people, they abused the people, treated them as pigs and dogs, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was brutal for a long time, and the great tomorrow returned to the heart, this is the choice of history." ”
Kaiji was a vassal of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and was later used by Emperor Jiayou. Ye Boju's death in prison has nothing to do with Kaiji. Kaiji originally told the old man to return to his hometown, a generation of powerful ministers, and it is really the blessing of the Buddhas of the heavens to have this ending, however, Jian Qing is back, she wants to re-investigate Ye Boju's case, but Emperor Jiayou asked Zhao Di to lead this case, not only Zhao Di will think more, but everyone will think more.
The purpose of Emperor Jiayou is that the people of the world are one family, and there are Northern Yuan people in the court, and there are also Semu people, but they are only a minority. And these few people support Concubine Yuan to the extreme, and after Concubine Yuan, it is Zhao Di who is loyal.
These people, led by Kaiji.
Kaiji lives in Qiaojiadun, Shangyuan County. When Kaiji returned to his hometown, Emperor Jiayou gave him the Zhuangzi of a merchant in the previous dynasty, and Kaiji renovated it and lived in it. A large area of land around it was originally with Zhuangzi, and Kaiji made a field here.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, due to the national funeral, the lively street market in Shangyuan County in previous years was now covered with snow, and there were only a few people in a hurry.
Fulai Inn has installed the door panel early, and the year is half a year old, at this time, who will come to stay in the house? The year is not over, and no one should go out.
Xiao Er was about to install the last door, four people came to the door, two big and two young, the younger one was about four or five years old, and he was still a girl. ”
"Yes, of course you can, if you do business, can you still drive customers out?" Xiao Er Wang San took a step back, let the side go, and invited the guests in, "How many rooms may I ask?" ”
"Two upper rooms are enough! By the way, is there a Lantern Festival to eat today? Give each of us a bowl of Lantern Festival, give! ”
As he spoke, two coins of silver fell into Wang San's palm, and four bowls of Lantern Festival were not worth so much silver, and more, of course, was a reward for Wang San.
The day was very cold, Wang San's heart was warm, "hey", and welcomed the four guest officers upstairs, the four of them sat down in an upper room, and Wang San went down to cook Lantern Festival for the four guest officers.
Lantern Festival is rice balls. The glutinous rice milk has been ground and pressed dry, broken a piece down, kneaded softly, rubbed out a round ball larger than the thumb, the water in the pot has already been boiled, after rolling, throw the rice balls in, boil, float, you can hold the bowl.
Tonight, there were no customers in the store, and there were two of them in total.
The family of four people who newly moved in today, as well as the master and servant, lived in the Tianzi room on the second floor of the north building.
However, he is on duty alone in the store today, although there is a shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper is old, and he doesn't sleep when he sleeps, and he dozes off when he sits at the counter, and he can't wake up when he shouts.
"Guest, come on!"
Wang San used a tray to bring four bowls of rice balls, and when he arrived at the door, he shouted, and a female doll about five years old came over to help him open the door, shouting, "Brother, the rice balls are here, they are so fragrant!" ”
"Put sesame filling!" Wang San flattered the authentic.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Wang San couldn't help but ask, "Today's Lantern Festival, why did the guest officials still go out?" Did you make a special trip to our Shangyuan County, or did you pass through? ”
"All the way here." The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy smiled and said, "Little second brother, there is a big official in your county who is in the mansion of the master, is it around here?" ”
"Here, the north of the county is all Kaifu, and his family added a ding last winter, if it weren't for the death of the queen's mother, maybe it would be more lively. I heard that the moon is full tomorrow, and there will be no banquet, I wonder if the four of you are going to open the mansion? ”
"No, just pass by you and ask."
