Chapter 45: Unworthy
"You ......" Ye Tingfeng tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of getting married?" ”
"Not suddenly." Wu Fengtian slowly walked to Ye Tingfeng's side and tapped the table with his right hand. After listening to Ye Feng put his left wrist up, Wu Fengtian pressed the slender three fingers of his right hand on his veins, "I made a decision after thinking about it for a long time, besides, I am already in the age of establishment, and I should get married." ”
"It just felt sudden." Ye Tingfeng looked at the three fingers that Wu Fengtian put on his left wrist, and was slightly distracted.
Suddenly, Wu Fengtian raised the three fingers of his right hand and smiled, "Your body is already healed." ”
"I think Caizhu ......," I heard at night, and Kaede looked up and stopped talking.
She felt that Caizhu was not worthy of Wu Fengtian, although Caizhu's current status was not low, but she still felt that she was not worthy.
"Caizhu is very good, although she is not a lady of the family, her conduct is much better than those of the young lady of the family." Wu Fengtian replied lightly, the smile on his face remained undiminished, "Moreover, marrying the emperor's sister is better than marrying the emperor's own sister, that is the real torture." ”
Ye Tingfeng chuckled softly when he heard this, and his watery eyes sparkled in the sun.
Wu Fengtian's slender eyes moved, and he put his hands behind his back and smiled, "I'm leaving." ”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the Guan Ju Palace.
Ye Tingfeng watched Wu Fengtian's background disappear at the door of the hall, and the smile on Ruhua's face gradually faded.
She's not stupid, and some things don't have to be told to be known to her.
But burying it forever is the best solution for now.
After half a cup of tea, Emperor Jianning walked in from outside the hall with a beam of sunlight.
Ye Tingfeng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Emperor Jianning, "Wanyan Zhe, are your sisters going to cry?" ”
"I'm going to cry." Emperor Jianning walked to Ye Tingfeng's side, hugged Ye Tingfeng tightly into his arms, and said with a smile, "The third princess and the fourth princess only chose two horses, and the remaining position is reserved for Fengtian. ”
Ye Tingfeng lay on Emperor Jianning's chest and laughed, and said, "Wan Yan Zhe, you have sealed Caizhu as the princess, so that Caizhu can choose three horses......
Emperor Jianning raised his eyebrows, "Where did Fengtian offend you?" ”
Ye Tingfeng shook his head, and the hosta on the bun was drawn to the side of Emperor Jianning's ear, and it felt cold to the touch.
Emperor Jianning raised his hand, took off the beaded hairpins on the Fengfeng bun one by one, and put them on the carved table on the side.
When he returned to his hand, he took off the broken jade earrings hanging from Ye Tingfeng's ears.
The waist-high green silk slid down without the fixation of the hairpin, and crossed a soft arc behind Ye Tingfeng.
"He didn't offend me." Ye Tingfeng raised his slender and white fingers and pinned the hair that was blocking his eyes behind his ears, "Didn't he offend you, you always used the third princess and the fourth princess to scare him before." ”
"It's been a long time, I'm generous, don't care about him." Emperor Jianning took a sip of the tea cup on one side, and after a moment, he smiled lightly at Ye Tingfeng, "The Wu family has always been mysterious, and the marriage of the Wu family has rarely been interfered with by the royal family......"
If Wu Fengtian did not agree, he could not re-instruct Wu Fengtian to a family matter.
"It's mysterious." Ye Tingfeng nodded, "There are a lot of secrets that can't be told to anyone. ”
"Wu Yue's purpose is to send you to the palace, which is very much in line with my heart." Emperor Jianning laughed loudly, "As for the grievances within the Wu family...... The Wu family will never hurt the royal family, and that's enough. ”
Ye Ting Feng hummed softly, leaned his head on Emperor Jianning's chest, listened to the strong heartbeat coming from his ears, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled again.
Emperor Jianning looked down at Ye Tingfeng's jade-white face, and said with a smile, "Mu'er, it's time to add a sister to Yu'er." ”
Ye Tingfeng raised her head, and Emperor Jianning's thin lips with a light smile just fell between her lips and teeth.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ye Tingfeng slowly closed his eyes, and his hands were wrapped around Emperor Jianning's chest, panting gently.
Just when Emperor Jianning's hand touched Ye Tingfeng's waist, Ye Tingfeng suddenly burst out laughing, and pushed Emperor Jianning away, "Yu'er is back." ”
Emperor Jianning's face turned black because the prince shouted 'Niang' from afar. “
The day of Wu Fengtian's wedding was set on the sixth day of December in the seventh year of Jianning.
Caizhu's parents were dead when she was young, and she had no relatives to invite. The Wu family is in a special situation, and everything is decided by Wu Fengtian himself.
So the things that the two need to prepare are much simpler.
Because the colored beads are hung with the name of Emperor Jianning's sister-in-law, Ye Tingfeng helped Zhang Luo with many dowries as the emperor's sister-in-law.
On the fifth day of November in the seventh year of Jianning, Xie Yuanxing was seriously ill.
Xie Yuanxing is old, and at such an old age, she collapsed on a cold winter day, and no matter how good the imperial doctor is, she can't let her withered wood spring.
On November 15 of the seventh year of Jianning, Xie Yuanxing died of illness in General Xie's mansion.
The Xie party was already much weaker when Xie Yuanxing gave up the military talismans, and now Xie Yuanxing has passed away, so that the Xie family, which once stood half of the country in the court, was crushed by other parties.
The day after Xie Yuanxing's coffin was buried, Emperor Jianning issued an order to posthumously crown the deceased prince's biological mother, Mrs. Ru, as the queen.
Emperor Jianning's holy decree was issued, and the court's harem all eyes fell on the prince.
Emperor Jianning's move was tantamount to admitting the prince's biological mother, Mrs. Ru, and to acknowledging that the Xie family was the prince's matrilineal relative.
This is not found in the princes of all generations.
November 27 in the seventh year of Jianning, the third birthday of the prince.
The last time Ye Tingfeng celebrated the prince's birthday was in the Dashun Palace, when the prince was not yet one year old. The prince was two years old, and she was not by the prince's side. Therefore, under the instruction of Emperor Jianning, the prince's birthday was very grand.
Not only is it grand in the harem, because the prince's nominal biological mother has just been posthumously crowned the throne, and the officials of the previous dynasty also value it very much. Whether it was a civilian official or a military general, they all sent congratulatory gifts and secretly stood in line.
After the prince's birthday, the day of Wu Fengtian's great joy followed.
Because the Wu family has always been mysterious, Wu Fengtian's official position in the court is an idle position, and Wu Yang, as a national teacher, is not good friends with hundreds of officials in the court, so he is not publicized.
Emperor Jianning heard that Feng's identity was special at the same night, so it was not good to be present in person, so he only gave a reward.
After Wu Fengtian's marriage, the Chinese New Year's Eve is getting closer.
In the matter of the harem, there are Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Miao, and Liu Zhaorong are a few people, and Ye Tingfeng doesn't need to interfere at all.
When Emperor Jianning was not busy, Ye Tingfeng and the prince became long guests in the Qingxin Palace.
The prince followed the palace people to play outside the palace, and listened to Feng nesting in the arms of Emperor Jianning at night to watch the excerpts.
I don't know much about the things above the court, she always looks at the excerpts that Emperor Jianning Zhu has criticized, and sometimes her thoughts are different from the decisions made by Emperor Jianning Zhu Pei, and she will say a few words with Emperor Jianning.
Whenever this happens, Emperor Jianning will talk about the partisan dispute above the court and listen to Feng at night, and slowly, listen to Feng at night to the Jinluan Palace, who has never been to the Jinluan Palace, and the civil and military officials who have never seen it, have a general idea in his heart.
For example, today's right prime minister, Meng Zizong, is a rare virtuous minister.
Meng Zizong was an elder of the two dynasties, and was appointed as the right prime minister in the seventh year of the first century. At that time, he and Zuo Prime Minister An Kaixing were the right-hand men of Emperor Shiyuan.
Later, after the death of Emperor Shiyuan and the chaos in the palace subsided, Meng Zizong was the first to stand up and support Emperor Jianning as emperor.
The proposal to depose the noble mother and die was also the result of Meng Zizong's maneuvering among several families.
For another example, today's Zhenyuan general Lu Boyun is a rare general in a century.
He can be named a general, because of Xie Yuanxing's deliberate cultivation, with the intentional support of Emperor Jianning, and more importantly, he has real skills.
Ye Tingfeng has always been prejudiced against Lu Boyun because of the events of the previous life, so when Emperor Jianning praised Lu Boyun for being a rare general, she scoffed.
Seeing Ye Tingfeng like this, Emperor Jianning smiled and stopped talking.
After all, the person who proposed to let Princess Dashun go with the army to anger Dashun was Lu Boyun, and in this matter, Emperor Jianning admitted that he was also wrong.
In addition to the ministers of Wen Yiwu and the two humerus, Ye Tingfeng also learned that Wu Fengtian was still a rare minister.
When Emperor Jianning said this, Ye Tingfeng's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "Wu Fengtian, he?" Strategists? ”
In Ye Tingfeng's impression, Wu Fengtian is a doctor. Going deeper, it's a good-looking, personable doctor.
He had no other skills except for holding a folding fan in his hand all day long, causing the girls of the Jingzhong family to scream again and again.
"Do you think that when I was the king of Jin, I planned all these things alone?" Emperor Jianning said ridiculously, "I won the throne, and Fengtian has made great contributions." When I was pretending to be stupid in the Jin Palace, Fengtian traveled far away for many years, all for me. ”
Listen to the maple dumb teeth at night.
"You're underestimating him." Emperor Jianning sighed, "If he really wants to be an official in the court, he can worship the three grades." ”
"Then why isn't he an official?" Ye Tingfeng was surprised, "He helped you win the world, is it just because he is a close friend of you?" ”
"Wu family, can you make it clear?" Emperor Jianning asked with a smile, "Wu Yang and Wu Yue are both brothers and sisters, but they have to put each other to death, isn't this unclear?" ”
From that moment on, the only normal Wu family in Ye Tingfeng's eyes was also abnormal.
Who would not seek fame or profit, and throw off their sleeves after helping others win the world, as if they were nothing?
This is also too immortal and moral.
In addition to Prime Minister Meng Cheng, Lu Boyun, and Wu Fengtian, Liu An is also a rare general in the army, and Zhou Shiyang, the eldest concubine of the third princess, is familiar with the art of war. The eldest princess's second concubine, Ma Dihai, has a lot of insights into the existing laws and regulations of Otsuki.
They are all people who were deliberately promoted by Emperor Jianning.
On December 16 of the seventh year of Jianning, he heard that Feng had nothing to do in the afternoon, and after the prince slept, he went to the Qingxin Palace.
Emperor Jianning was sitting in the study looking at the excerpts, and when he looked up and saw Lu Shi leading Ye Tingfeng to come, he pointed to his side and said, "Come here." ”
Ye Tingfeng took off the moon-white cloak with fox fur and handed it to Ning Shi, lifted his skirt and walked over and sat beside Emperor Jianning.
Emperor Jianning held the fold in his left hand, and grabbed Ye Tingfeng's two cold little hands with his right hand, and didn't let go until he was warm, "On such a cold day, I thought you weren't coming." ”
"Idle is idle." Ye Tingfeng bent his eyes and smiled, "It's better to come here to accompany you to see the excerpts, and it will save you from being bored." ”
Ye Tingfeng took Ning Xiaofeng's teacup and just took a sip, Emperor Jianning raised his hand and handed a book of folds to Ye Tingfeng.
Listening to the night maple willow eyebrows raised slightly, put down the teacup and put it to the side, took the fold and looked at it carefully.
As the beautiful eyes slid over the font on the fold, the smile on the corner of Ye Tingfeng's mouth gradually faded, and finally there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.
As soon as he turned around, Ye Tingfeng no longer looked at Emperor Jianning, and sat there angrily with the fold in his hand.
Lu Shi and Ning Shi smiled and listened to the maple board at night, and hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
On the excerpt, Xie Donghua proposed to choose the prince and the prince, the prince and the teacher, and the prince and the prince for the young prince.
The princes of the previous dynasties, the princes and princes, the princes and the princes, and the princes and princesses were all appointed by the emperor, and there were never ministers to participate in the council.
After all, the crown prince is just a product of the time, and the possibility of becoming the emperor in the end is very small.
Now it's different, and now the ministers of the court and China treat the crown prince as a real prince.
Emperor Jianning took the fold in Ye Tingfeng's hand and put it aside, and persuaded softly, "The prince will be three years old in a few days, and it's time to choose a teacher." I was just about to discuss with you, there are many capable military officials in the Chinese and ,......"
Ye Tingfeng patted Emperor Jianning's hand on her shoulder, frowned, and didn't say a word.
"Mu'er," he picked up the teacup and handed it to Ye Tingfeng's lips, and said softly, "Now that the courtiers don't know who the prince is, they will go to assist other princes, and then Yu'er will have to face even more danger." ”
Emperor Jianning posthumously crowned Mrs. Ru as the empress, in order to find a henchman to support him in the court for the crown prince. The Xie family is the mother of the prince's nominal biological mother, and at this time, when the wind and rain are drifting, they are the most suitable candidates.
Ye Tingfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Jianning very sadly, and finally raised his hand on Emperor Jianning's wrist and took a sip of warm tea.
After swallowing the slightly bitter tea, Ye Tingfeng leaned his face into the crook of Emperor Jianning's arm and said, "He is still so young, after inviting a teacher, he has to follow the teacher to practice literature and martial arts every day, I am not by his side, I am not at ease." ”
"Therefore, I will choose a prince Taibao with strong martial arts, and then choose two children of the family to accompany Yu'er." Hugging Ye Tingfeng's shoulder, Emperor Jianning persuaded, "Mu'er, I know that you feel sorry for Yu'er, but if you want him to become a generation of kings, you can't be too doting." ”
"Wan Yan Zhe," Ye Tingfeng turned his head lightly, looked at Emperor Jianning and asked pitifully, "Does Yu'er have to be the emperor?" Can't he be a happy prince and live a free life? ”
Emperor Jianning smiled, picked up Ye Tingfeng's face, and pressed it against her forehead, "The national teacher helped Yu'er to watch the qi, although Yu'er is young, the emperor's momentum has been revealed." Mu'er, he is destined to be the emperor, even if I abolish his position as the prince now, he will still be the emperor in the future. Rather than let him go as hard as I did, I would rather have the road paved for him. ”
Ye Tingfeng pressed his face against Emperor Jianning's chest, his arms tightened more and more, and he closed his eyes and sighed loudly, "If there is no Wu family, will our life be simpler?" ”
"There is no Wu family...... "Emperor Jianning chuckled, "Yu'er also wants to be the emperor." ”
Although the tone was soft, the words were the determination of the emperor.
Ye Tingfeng's heart hung high.
In the past, the crown prince's position as the prince was nominal and had no impact on anyone. Now, Emperor Jianning's holy decree to posthumously crown the queen and Xie Donghua have folded together, pushing the prince to the front of the stage.
Burying his head in Emperor Jianning's arms, Ye Tingfeng's white brow wrinkled into a pimple the size of a peanut. “
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the three teachers of the prince were finally appointed on the sixth day of the second month of the eighth year of Jianning.
Emperor Jianning and Ye Tingfeng's favorite candidate for the crown prince and master is the right prime minister Meng Zizong.
Meng Zizong knew astronomy and geography, and was loyal to the court as officials in the two dynasties.
It is only fitting for him to serve as the prince and the prince, and let him teach the prince astronomy and geography in governing the country.
The crown prince and the prince chose a person who listened to Feng quite a lot at night, named He Qing.
He Qing was the martial champion of Jianning for three years, learned a good martial arts, was familiar with the art of war, and was once named an adjutant to follow the army to the border of Dashun.
After returning to the dynasty, he served under Liu An and was quite reused by Liu An. It's just that he is upright and doesn't get along well with his colleagues.
When the six princesses of Jianning chose a concubine in the fifth year, thanks to the six princesses who did not abandon their low background, they chose to be the eldest concubine of the six princesses, and they were also the only concubines.
This time the crown prince and the prince were elected, and Emperor Jianning's eyes wandered between the generals and the general soldiers many times, and finally photographed He Qing.
Not for anything else, just because He Qing has not joined the camp of any family because of his temperament so far.
On the side of the prince, he needs such a person with an upright character and a clean official career.
The crown prince Taibao chose the chief soldier Liu An. Liu An was a fierce general under Xie Yuanxing in his early years, and after Xie Yuanxing unloaded his armor and returned to the field, Liu An returned to Beijing to become the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
Later, when Emperor Jianning won the world, Liu An's 70,000 imperial forest troops guarding the imperial city played a vital role.
In addition to Liu An's political achievements over the years, the most important point is that Liu An is a real candidate for the Xie faction.
When he is the crown prince, he will not let the prince have any mistakes.
After the three divisions of the East Palace were selected, the next ones to be selected were the children of the official family who accompanied the prince.
These children of official families who grew up with the prince when they were young will become close ministers of the prince after the prince ascends the throne.
Therefore, Emperor Jianning was very cautious and did not make a judgment too early.
On February 20 of the eighth year of Jianning, as soon as the sky was bright, he listened to Feng at night and got up under the service of Wenqing and Zhiliu.
After freshening up and having breakfast, she ordered litmus to bring the prince to her.
The prince was led into the inner hall by litmus, and saw that Ye Tingfeng was sitting on a low couch drinking tea, performing a regular palace ceremony, and called in a childish voice, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”
Ye Tingfeng put down the teacup in his hand and wanted to get up to help, and Wen Qing hurriedly patted Ye Tingfeng's arm and stopped.
The crown prince, as the eldest son of the emperor and the prince, listened to Feng as the queen of a country, and he couldn't mess with the rules in front of the foreign ministers and concubines.
I heard Feng hold the prince the night before and confess all night, but at this time she forgot about it.
Ye Tingfeng looked back at Wen Qing, straightened up, raised his hand lightly at the prince, and said, "The prince is exempt." ”
The prince stood up from the ground with a dark blue robe, came to Ye Tingfeng's side and said loudly, "Queen Mother, you remember what you said to your sons yesterday. ”
Ye Tingfeng nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled the prince into his arms, holding the prince's little face to take a closer look.
The enlightenment of the princes of the Great Moon has always been taught by the concubines themselves, learning some etiquette, memorizing some poetry books, and they will not ask for teachers until they are six years old.
