Chapter 38 The Heart of the Son of Heaven
Now it was confirmed that it was awarded to his brother, and his face was very unhappy, and the teacup in his hand was clenched tightly.
When Princess An saw her unimposing appearance, she could only sigh in her heart. Although Mu Churan is her cousin, Sheng Yi doesn't like her aunt because of her temperament, and His Majesty doesn't feel like her.
Bisheng Sheng recalled that she wanted to marry into the palace and enjoy the position of the middle palace like her aunt. Princess An lamented that her daughter only looked at the scenery and scenery, but she didn't care about the bloody suffering.
Speaking of which, today's father-in-law Liu is a coincidence. Last night, Duan Heng passed by Xiao's Mansion and sent the bag of kumquat with a lot of stories, so he rarely didn't wander around anymore, and went straight to his house on the bluestone bricks paved on the road.
Although it is in the house, it may not be more convenient than inviting the prince back from outside the house.
Don't look at Duan Heng when he is outside, he likes to call friends and invite companions, three or two confidants drink together, and he likes to be lively and like it; When I returned to my own house, I like to pick those places where there are few people and stay in the middle of nowhere.
Therefore, sometimes everyone searched the palace and did not see him, and they thought that he had gone out. It was not until he appeared at the table at the time of the meal that everyone knew that the prince was in the house.
There is such an elusive prince in the palace, and everyone is not surprised. As soon as I heard my princess send a message to invite him to the main hall of the palace, they were all busy looking everywhere, for fear that the will of the Son of Heaven who did not know the content of the letter would wait for a long time, what if this was the same will that could make the palace of An Wangfu turn over and be re-included in the house of important ministers?
In the future, when they go out and see other people's little houses, won't they be superior? Maybe you can get a discount when you buy a rouge, and maybe you don't have to queue up to buy a grocery!
Duan Heng, who was targeted by the will to become the target of everyone, didn't know it, and was reading a book in the side garden of King An's Mansion at the moment. It's so unpleasant to put the wine in the wind and chant poetry against it! It's easy for everyone to find.
In the end, it was Duan Yong, a little girl, who was clever and ran to the side garden to look for it, and saw a figure in the pavilion from a distance, very much like his own son.
He trotted forward, and after seeing that it was the prince, Duan Yong gasped breathlessly: "Qiyu...... Qiqi Shizi, Gonggong Liu is in the main hall of the palace with His Majesty's will...... Wait! ”
Duan Heng was so amused when he saw that Duan Yong was tired like this, and he was still speculating about what was important. Hearing this, his heart tightened, and His Majesty didn't know what to think today, but he thought of me, a gentleman.
Could it be that His Majesty the shrewd Son of Heaven has discovered something...... No, it can't be, this will, at most, is just a whim of the Son of Heaven for a while, probably looking for himself to find a flower and a bird or something. If there are others, I will excuse myself with a sentence of "the minister is incompetent".
Duan Hengqiang stabilized his mind, dropped the jar of aging behind him and the scattered books at will, and strode towards the main hall under the leadership of Duan Yong.
As soon as Gonggong Liu saw Duan Heng arrive, he hurriedly said hello. After all, according to His Majesty's wishes, this is exactly the time to enable this prince. Whatever happens next, it's always a good idea to be cautious for now.
When Duan Heng saw that Gonggong Liu was so polite, his heart felt like he had taken a reassuring pill.
Seeing that everyone in this palace was waiting, Gonggong Liu stopped talking nonsense, took out the new edict issued by Mu Churan last night, and everyone knelt down to listen to the order.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:
Duan Heng Shizi of King An's Mansion is well-informed and well-informed...... At present, it is the visit of the Fengguo Mission, a person with the demeanor of a great country, and among the royal nobles, only my brother Duan Heng can be called one or two. Today, Duan Heng, the prince of the Royal Mansion of An, was mainly responsible for receiving the mission, and Shen Suhang, the secretary of the Sipin Honglu Temple, assisted from the side. May the two Aiqing live up to the grace of heaven and continue the legend of our great Yin and neighboring countries.
Chin this! ”
Gonggong Liu's shrill voice was still echoing in the hall, and the people present were silent for a while when they heard this will.
It is an indisputable fact that his son was smart when he was young, but in the past six or seven years, the son has been lingering in the end of the fireworks alley.
Although when he was seventeen years old, he also learned from that Mr. Shen and traveled half of the thousands of miles, even if his literary knowledge was not compared with that Shen Siqing, who had visited since childhood, he was not expected to be too inferior.
It is true that his own family has not taken over any official affairs for a long time, but since His Majesty has the heart to cultivate, he may not be able to do this errand well......
In this moment of silence, everyone's thoughts were unknown, and some of them were glad that their son had finally raised his eyebrows, and he would have more identity with his son in the future; There are also maids who are worried that the son of the world will not succeed and will be incompetent.
Duan Shengyi thought that Brother Mu Churan had finally seen the Duan family he was in, and now that he had promoted his brother, would he look at him next, Princess An had a faint expression on her face, and her joy and sorrow were unknown.
Everyone is worried about Duan Heng, and they have always said in their hearts that His Majesty will not give him a chance, but almost no one knows that his own family is unwilling from the bottom of his heart.
Duan Heng was also stunned for a moment in the face of this sudden will. On one side, Princess An reminded with words: "Heng'er, take the order quickly." Only then did he receive the grace of heaven and the decree.
Gonggong Liu was not very surprised by Duan Heng's reaction, and when he heard that His Majesty had asked him to draw up a will to appoint Duan Shizi, he was also quite surprised in his heart.
I remember that in the past, His Majesty did not consider opening the Anwang Mansion, and in the face of this cousin who was a child together, Mu Churan was still very willing to take care of it.
It's really too much for the royal family, and now the queen mother's mind can't even be understood by Her Majesty, and it is too risky to help the power of noble relatives.
But now the Fengguo delegation is here to visit, which is a rare and good opportunity. Compared with those frontier wars and military events, this matter is not very important; But it's a big deal compared to the little things of buying gifts and managing housekeeping.
Before Gonggong Liu came to announce the decree, he was secretly worried that according to the absurd nature of this prince, the position he didn't want to do was only afraid that he would not obey the decree.
Just in case, he also deliberately prepared a combination of grace and power, and was ready to suppress this unruly son at all times, but he didn't expect to be too worried. Your Majesty's vision is really good, although Duan Shizi is famous, now that he looks at it, he is also a person who understands like a mirror in his heart.
Gong Liu's errand went smoothly, his face was like a smile, and he congratulated "Congratulations to the son" again and again, while preparing to lead people back to the palace. Princess An ordered someone to stuff a bag of gold for Gonggong Liu, but he accepted it after pushing it back. When people are promoted, it is understandable to be happy.
As soon as Gonggong Liu left, the closed door of King An's Mansion was like a frying pan. The little maids congratulated in unison, Duan Heng didn't know how to taste it for a while, neither joy nor anger.
It turned out that he had been in obscurity for all these years, and these people who were waiting around him still hoped that they would compete for fame and fortune, and they would do their best for the country of his Mu family, and they would be called loyal to their names.
The bright yellow decree is in his hand. This will is not heavy, nor is it light. It's just that it affects the impression of the two countries, and it is still absolutely sloppy.
Even though he couldn't get used to seeing his Mu family stepping on the throne with the blood of many nobles, this great Yin world was guarded by his father after all, and he couldn't allow it to be damaged by half a cent.
Duan Heng looked at the people in front of him who were congratulating him, how could he not be happy, the son of the world, who had always been a gentleman, suddenly got the grace of heaven and became a guest of the Son of Heaven Hall? I am pretending, and I have to pretend to be happy.
Duan Heng got up and raised his head, his eyebrows seemed to be dyed with a gust of spring breeze, and he almost galloped away with the horse's hooves. He opened his mouth and doubled the moonsilver for everyone this month, and the maids who knelt on the ground were overjoyed when they heard it, and for a time the palace was full of joy, so lively.
But Duan Heng knew in his heart that the diplomatic relations between the two countries were a major event, and he couldn't help but be unhappy. Therefore, this will in your hand is not only to take it, but also to do it with a lot of thought.
Since Mu Churan let himself be the main part of this matter, it was time for Shen Siqing, who was an assistant and had countless legends in the family, to visit.
Duan Heng walked out of the main hall alone, leaving a group of people behind him to wait in the same place, saying that the good days of the palace had begun, and praising Princess An for her blessings......
Princess An smiled a little and said nothing, and in the afterglow she caught a glimpse of her son's somewhat lonely back, and sighed in her heart: The order of the Son of Heaven cannot be violated. Heng'er, work harder.
At the same time, the Son of Heaven court, where Mu Churan was located, also promulgated this decree. The secretaries had already expected that Shen Suhang, the secretary of Honglu Temple, would be fully responsible for this matter, after all, the Shen family was from a family, and Shen Suhang was personable, so he would definitely be handy in dealing with the mission. Unexpectedly, as soon as the will came out, it turned out to be Duan Heng, the son of King An's Mansion, to be in charge, and there was a lot of discussion in the court for a while.
Right now, it's like water dripping into a pot of hot oil, and it's fried. The ministers talked about even the inappropriate appearance, and Mu Churan saw it in his eyes.
Last night, he made a decision on the spot and ordered Gonggong Liu to draft a decree at that time, just to prevent the ministers from negating Duan Heng when they came up, and they advised themselves to choose another good minister. If this matter is postponed to the decision of the DPRK this morning, Mo said that his original candidate Duan Heng could not be decided, but he was afraid that even he would be criticized by this group of courtiers until he was dizzy.
Mu Churan knew very well in his heart that the most important point of the way of the king and his subordinates was that as an emperor, he could never be restrained by his subordinates.
The opinions of his subordinates are of indispensable importance to the king, but the final decision must be made in accordance with the king's heart. A good king should always be in charge of his subjects, not for them. This is what Mu Churan learned day by day from the experience of the former emperor.
