Chapter 303 Leaves Fall Back to the Roots
"Li Aiqing, you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so in accordance with the rules of the ancestors, choose an auspicious day to record Huai'an's name in the family tree."
The emperor's decision was really too fast and too comprehensive, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and it was Li Shangshu and Xiao Huai'an who responded at the same time, so that they understood that what they had just heard was not a joke.
"Yes, but Your Majesty, about Lord Xiao's name, and ......"
Li Shangshu had an indescribable look on his face, he didn't accept Xiao Huai'an's identity, he just responded according to the condition.
There were rumors of Xiao Huai'an in the room before, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were holding a mocking posture of watching a good show, who would have thought that the emperor would really move the idea of letting him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so looking at the qualifications of several princes of the royal family, this throne may finally fall on Xiao Huai'an.
Thinking about it like this, many people in the court began to think crookedly. However, Li Shangshu was very firmly on Xu Rulie's side, so his mood was just the same as Xu Rulie's, and he felt shocked and unhappy.
Xu Rulie withdrew his gaze from Xiao Huai'an's body in disbelief, even if he was puzzled, he could only obey the emperor's thoughts, and Xu Ruzhu was much calmer, and his eyes kept turning.
The emperor above thought about it carefully, and said after thinking about the original time.
"I met this woman after Ruyu was born, and after this woman gave birth to Huai'an, the queen was just pregnant, so Huai'an is the third prince, as for Huai'an's name, it is called Xu Ruhuai on the genealogy."
This name can be regarded as nostalgia for the fairy-like woman who was on the water side at the beginning.
When the words landed, Li Shangshu was busy writing down the emperor's words taking care of his own tasks, but Xu Rulie's side seemed to have collapsed on his side.
It's just a matter of letting Xiao Huaian recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but as soon as he comes back, he will rob himself of his title, and he will be in front of him, and he will be counted as his brother, which is called how Xu Rulie can bear it.
Xu Rulie's eyes widened, looking at the emperor above in disbelief, and although Xu Ruzhu was not very happy in his heart, he was a lot happier when he saw that Xu Rulie was in a bad mood.
However, the Emperor did not need to pay attention to their surprise, and hastened to announce the next series of arrangements.
"Huai'an recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, it is also natural, he assists me in handling official affairs in Su Ri, and he can be regarded as a unique experience, from now on, he will enter the cabinet with all the princes to study, such as Lie, such as bamboo, in addition to listening to the lectures of the cabinet master, if there is anything you don't understand, don't forget to ask Huai'an for advice."
The cabinet is not considered to be a court official establishment, and it should be more like a collection and storage area of confidential documents in the imperial palace. For example, when Emperor Xu Huayin was a child, and when Xu Rulie Xu Ruzhu was young, they also had to be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and the Benevolence, Righteousness, Etiquette and Faith under the Taifu professor of the cabinet.
However, Xiao Huai'an did not have this opportunity because of his identity, and now it can be regarded as a kind of childhood compensation for him by the emperor.
However, in addition to being counted as an enlightenment school for the princes, the main task of the cabinet is to collect information and knowledge from all over the world.
In other words, the emperor has now opened the cabinet to let all the princes go in and study at will, that is, he has already made up his mind to choose an heir to the throne.
Hearing this, it was not surprising that the audience was in an uproar, the corners of the Ministry of Rites' mouth twitched, the cabinet Liu Taifu and he still had a little friendship, and the prince entered the cabinet to study, and he had to be responsible for the selection of time and arrangements by the Ministry of Rites, and during this time, the Ministry of Rites, which he had been idle for a long time, must also be busy.
"Your Majesty, it's also a good thing to let the princes know about the cabinet earlier, but I just wonder if the prince is still young, can he not have to work so hard."
"No need, since you want to go in, then go in all of them, so as not to make people feel that I am favoring one over the other, if you are worried that Ye'er is young and ignorant, Huai'an will naturally take care of the younger brother for Dehui."
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, this truth was understandable, Li Shangshu agreed to bow his head, but these words attracted the following, Ma Ge, who had been hiding his sense of existence as usual, unconsciously raised his head slightly.
Today, in the early court, it was mainly for the two things that the emperor said, Xu Rulie waited for the last court, and hurried to the harem to complain to the queen. However, even if he didn't have to come over to tell him, the queen could learn about Xiao Huai'an from others.
"Queen Mother, how can my father recognize Xiao Huai'an back so easily in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and ask his sons to stoop behind him, I am afraid that in the future, I will make the civil and military officials laugh at shame."
Xu Rulie's face was full of displeasure, and before he entered the door, he first harmed the queen's pot of peony flowers, and scattered a lively lilac petal on it.
The queen was very distressed, but she was helpless.
Xu Rulie didn't care much about the order of this ranking, but he was used to being called the third prince, and he suddenly wanted to change his name, but he was afraid that everyone would be unhappy.
"You're embarrassed to say, if you're angry, is your father really worried about the rumors in this room? Last time, the palace wanted to ask Su Jiao, but she blindly pretended to be stupid, it seems that she had premeditated, if she really wants Xiao Huai'an to inherit the unification, I am afraid that only you and the palace will make people laugh. β
The queen sighed, and the more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but glance at Xu Rulie angrily. Xu Rulie was also a little embarrassed behind, and walked over to sit under the queen.
"This, this is because Su Jiao is not a good person, and she can even deceive her mother, which is simply scheming."
"Bengong really didn't see it at all, and none of the daughters of their Su family were good. Previously, the palace also asked Su Zhongshi to help the palace speak, but the news actually leaked and asked Yang Ruopei to make trouble with him, but he really didn't even have a voice, which was really hateful. β
Xu Rulie didn't know how to find his own problems, so he habitually pushed Su Jiao's body, and when he said this, it just aroused the unhappiness in the queen's heart.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Queen Mother? Xu Rulie was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, and the queen was suddenly stuck, and hurriedly fooled over.
"Nothing, nothing to do with you."
"Yes, but Li'er is still pregnant with her son's child now, even if you don't like their Su family, don't implicate her."
If it weren't for this child, the queen would not have agreed to accept Su Lian. At present, Xu Rulie is still full of only Su Lian in his eyes, and he even makes the queen angry, and hates iron but not steel.
"You are embarrassed to say that if it wasn't for her, you would have been on the throne of the crown prince a long time ago. It's a good opportunity to enter the cabinet now, if you don't behave well, when Su Lian gives birth to a child, this palace will not let her go. β
"Queen Mother!" I have to say that Su Lian is really Xu Rulie's weakness, as long as Su Lian is mentioned, he will have some normal reactions.
"The sons and daughters are in love, if the queen mother has to regard her as a thorn in her side, then please forgive the sons for not being able to follow the expectations of the queen mother."
Xu Rulie's brows furrowed slightly, his mouth was straight, forming a line, he took care of the relationship between mother and son, and did not look at each other coldly, but these words really made the queen feel cold.
The queen couldn't help him, she pointed a finger at Xu Rulie, and couldn't speak for a long time, and then she could only sigh faintly.
"That's it, you are young and frivolous now, and when you become sensible in the future, you won't just think about guarding this one person."
"The Queen Motherβ"
"Enough, it's not too early now, you should go back quickly, remember to read more of the Four Books and Five Classics, and enter the cabinet tomorrow, in case Mrs. Liu finds out that you have been negligent in your efforts at these times, and then pass it on to your father, even the queen mother will not be able to be the master and protect you."
The queen only felt tired for a while, and waved her hand a little irritably with one hand on her forehead, telling Xu Rulie that she wanted to argue a few more words for herself, but it was not easy to say it again, so she could only bow her head and promise to retreat.
"Yes, the retainers are retired."
"Niangniang, the slave maid is going to send off the Third Highness." The cuckoo stood beside the queen, and seeing that the magpie had gone to appease the queen, he took this opportunity to propose.
After she finished speaking, she saluted very dignifiedly, and chased Xu Rulie's back, but the queen didn't say anything, but vaguely felt a little strange, raised her head and glanced at the cuckoo meaningfully.
And the cuckoo was in a hurry, but she didn't notice it, and when she got out of the palace, she found that Xu Rulie's steps were extremely fast, and she had already walked to the corridor outside, and she had to lift her skirt and trot a few steps before she could barely catch up.
"Your Royal Highness, Third Highness, please stay, the queen mother asked the slave maid to send her Highness."
Xu Rulie listened impatiently and stood still, turned around and found that it was the cuckoo, perhaps in the contrast of the magpie, so that his impression of the cuckoo was not bad, so he temporarily held back the unhappy mood, and waited for the cuckoo to run to him with a smile on his face.
"You're obedient, but His Highness will leave, and you don't need to escort you, so you better go back." Xu Rulie stood up and looked at the cuckoo coming, thought carefully in his mind, and remembered the queen's indifferent attitude towards Su Lian just now, he couldn't help but feel a little more angry, and after barely saying this, he turned around and continued to walk forward.
Du Juan was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly threw himself on Xu Rulie's side, put on a very embarrassed and sad look, and bowed his head and said.
"The slave knows that the Third Highness is in a bad mood today, but the Queen Mother is also for the good of the Third Highness, and I hope that the Third Highness will not hold a grudge against the Queen Mother. The slave maid has been serving the queen for the past few days, but she has overheard something about it, and I don't know if I should tell Her Highness. β
As a mother and son, how could there be an overnight feud, Xu Rulie was unhappy when he heard it, but for the second half of Du Juan's words, it really made him a little curious.
