The news of Mu Jianming's death came too suddenly, and on that day, the courtiers did not react, and in the morning of the next day, Yu Shi jumped out and handed over the excerpt written overnight.

"Your Majesty, please bury King Er in the imperial mausoleum with the courtesy of the emperor."

"In the previous dynasty, Emperor Daizong also reigned for five years, and then Emperor Gaozong restored, Emperor Daizong was still buried in the imperial mausoleum, and his tablet was enshrined in the Taimiao ......"

The imperial history is a school of righteous words, and it also talks about the present from history, and talks about a great truth endlessly.

Mu Yan didn't have such a good temper, so he directly interrupted the other party at the moment: "Can the usurper of the dynasty be buried with the emperor's gift?!" Wu Yushi, are you encouraging others to usurp the throne?! ”

Wu Yushi was dripping in cold sweat and speechless. Today's words are still so biased, how can people pick up these words?!

The other courtiers were silent.

To tell the truth, not only Wu Yushi thinks that Mu Jianming should be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but also some old ministers feel that it should be so, after all, Mu Jianming is also surnamed Mu, and he has reigned for 19 years, and it is not a stroke that can be erased in the annals of history.

I wanted to think about it, but since Mu Yan had expressed his attitude, those people also stopped thinking. For the sake of a deposed emperor and the present is not worth it.

Mu Yan looked down at the ministers from the throne of Jinluan, and said, "I will bury Mu Jianming in Xishan." Also, Cen Zhenxing asked himself to guard the mausoleum, and I agreed. ”

After he dropped this sentence, he announced his retirement from the court, obviously not planning to ask for the opinions of his ministers.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Until Mu Yan left, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was still speechless, with complicated expressions.

Xishan is not even the burial place of the clan, and this is not the slightest dignity left for the king of Er.

This is the end of King Er's funeral, no one dares to say anything about it, the ministers originally planned to wait and see Cen Yin's attitude, but they found that Cen Yin had left Beijing early in the morning.

Now this timing is too delicate, and many courtiers can't help but think about it, and secretly say: Could it be that something big happened that they didn't know?! Where is it not peaceful, or is the emperor deliberately transferring Cen Yin?

Everyone was silently watching, talking, and as a result, one day, two days, three days...... The court has been calm, and the emperor did not say a word about Cen Yin's departure from Beijing, so some people wondered whether Cen Yin had received a secret decree to run an errand, but all over the country were also peaceful, safe and stable, and there was no urgent excerpt to send, not like there was any turmoil.

All kinds of speculation gradually subsided, and everything was fine.

Cen Yin left, and he walked for more than half a month before returning to Beijing.

On the thirtieth day of the first month, You Anping came to Duanmu's house again, this time to make a small gift for Cen Yin.

On the same day, Duanmuxian asked for leave at home, and Duanmufei also left the palace early and returned to his parents' house to accompany Duanmujun.

This is a good day for Duanmujun, Duanmufei naturally can't be absent, she has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Today is a day of great joy, and the Muguo Mansion is full of joy.

As soon as Anping arrived, a little maid trotted to Tongyu: "Old lady, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping has arrived, and she has brought live geese!" "This live goose is for its own salute.

Duanmuxian was shocked when he heard this, and almost blurted out whether it was really a live goose.

Originally, Duanmuxian deliberately proposed to Cen Yin to take the live goose as a gift, which was somewhat deliberately embarrassing, after all, it was still the first month, where to find the live goose on this cold day!

Duanmu Xian thought about dragging Nacai's time, and it was not bad to embarrass Cen Yin, but he didn't expect Cen Yin to really get a live goose.

Duanmu covered his lips and snickered, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Duanmu Jun and winked at him, which meant that Cen Gongzi really had a heart.

"......" Duanmu Jun knew where this live goose came from, and couldn't help but think of the last time Cen Yin said that he was going to hunt live geese in the south.

On that day, the cloak that Cen Yin put on her was still with her, and she personally washed it, ironed it, and smoked incense, and kept it for him for the time being.

Thinking about the scene of that day, Duanmu Jun felt a burning sensation at the tips of his ears, and his heartbeat thumped faster: he always did what he said.

After a while, Anping came with a noisy "quack" sound, and the accompanying little chamberlain brought a live goose with a dragon and a tiger, not only the people in the house, but even the little starling flew curiously to watch, and the live goose "quacked" non-stop.

Anping once helped Mu Yan make a small ceremony, and he was familiar with these procedures, so he smiled and asked the maids to present four boxes of small gifts, and said some auspicious words, and he was unwilling to completely ignore Duanmu Xian's heart.

Anping is really happy for Cen Yin, for her, Cen Yin is no different from her half son, over the years, it is precisely because of each other's support that they have been able to come to the present step by step.

Even if Cen Yin didn't speak, Anping wanted to help him manage the marriage, which was a little bit of her heart for Cen Yin and Xue Qiyuan and his wife.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lanzhou also ordered someone to send four boxes of return gifts from the woman's side, including a set of clothes she made for Cen Yin herself, from outer robes and middle clothes to shoes, socks, hats and cloaks.

This is not the first time Duanmujun has made new clothes for Cen Yin, but it is the sweetest one.

It stands to reason that at this time, there should be female elders of the Duanmu family who are modest about their own girls, but there are no female elders in the Duanmu family, and Duanmu Xian feels that his eldest granddaughter is good anywhere, so he is too lazy to be modest at all.

Fortunately, Anping had already prepared, and Haosheng praised Duanmujun's craftsmanship, and Duanmufei sang and harmonized with her, and the atmosphere became lively.

Then, Anping called Duanmujun to his side again and personally inserted a hairpin for her, at this point, this marriage is a certainty, and Duanmujun's heart is completely decided.

On the same day, Anping handed over the letter of appointment, and the two parties also chose a wedding date, originally Duanmu Xian planned to delay the marriage until next year in the spirit of delaying it for as long as he could, but as a result, Anping came forward, even Duanmu Xian failed to say Anping, and finally set the wedding date at the beginning of November.

The date of Anping's election was wonderful, two or three months earlier than the day Duanmuxian expected, but it was not too rushed.

"Lord Duanmu, there are still ten months left in the divorce period, and the days must be easy enough, and I will definitely be able to prepare for the wedding properly."

"Moreover, this palace has asked Qin Tianjian about it, and the best day of the next year will be on the fifth day of November, and it will definitely be good luck to hold a wedding on that day."

Anping spoke, and Zhou Zhou said.

Duanmuxian had nothing to say, and finally agreed.

This marriage is probably the most concerned one in the capital in the past two years, and almost as soon as Anping arrived at Muguo's mansion, the news spread at the same time.

When they saw that the gift sent by Anping was a live goose, some people immediately realized that Cen Yin suddenly left Beijing a while ago to hunt live geese.

Originally, many people still thought that this marriage would be a marriage between the emperor and Cen Yin in terms of interests, but now, this idea has gradually disappeared.

All the prefectures inquired about the wedding date, and neither the Duanmu family nor Anping had any intention of hiding it, so they all knew that the wedding date was set for the fifth day of November.

Since Cen Yin returned to Beijing, the court has become trembling, and he is also 120,000 careful, for fear that a bad one will attract Dongchang to raid his house, and become the object of Cen Yin's use to kill chickens and monkeys.

In the days that followed, they saw that the emperor began a drastic reform, first reducing the number of redundant personnel in each ministry and then redividing the responsibilities of the six ministries.

The year before last, the queen had already divided the responsibilities of the Inner Court Division to the six ministries and the twelve eunuchs of the Inner Court, and removed the Inner Court Division, which had attracted a lot of criticism from the court and the court at that time.

And this time, the emperor was even more ruthless, not only reducing the personnel of the six departments and three divisions, but also separating some responsibilities from the six divisions and directly attributing them to the emperor.

After that, the emperor reformed the evaluation of officials.

When Cen Yin was in power, a new assessment system had been proposed, and a buffer period of two years was given, the new assessment system was far more stringent than the current one, and later after Mu Yan came to power, many people were counting on this matter to end without a problem, and the result still came.

The new year has just begun, and the officials of the entire Dasheng feel that this day is walking on thin ice.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Chu Tingshu returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Duanmu Fei wanted to see his younger brother, and calculated that he should be busy, so he casually found a name and went to the Xuanguo Mansion in Weifu.

Chu Tingshu has been in Jinju for almost two years, and Mu Yan often says that he has done a good job, and together with Zhang Wenche, who is the political envoy of Jinju, he has governed Jinzhou in an orderly manner, and the situation in Jinzhou has become more and more stable.

When he saw Chu Tingshu again, he still looked like he was hanging and worrying about everything, crossing Erlang's legs, and teasing Xue Yu with a smile.

Xue Yu disliked him very much, and occasionally stretched out her paw to pat him.

Chu Tingshu stopped for a while, but it was only for a while, and soon he reached out to tease it again, touching and scratching.

"Little injustice...... Mrs. Mu. Chu Ting Shule waved his hand at Duanmu Scarlet, because Duanmu Scarlet was slightly served, he naturally even saved the number of courtesies.

Xue Yu twisted her body and jumped off the small square table next to Chu Tingshu, and ran briskly to Duanmu Fei's skirt, rubbing and screaming, her voice milky.

Duanmu Fei hugged Xueyu and sat down, Xueyu was very settled on her lap, let her touch it, let her scratch her chin.

Seeing this, Chu Tingshu shook his head and said in his heart: Why has this tsundere cat really not changed at all, and he still prefers small wrongs and big heads.

Mrs. Chu was in a very good mood, and her eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Niangniang, it's a coincidence, I'm about to enter the palace. Yesterday we met with the Jun family in Huangjue Temple," which means that the Chu and Jun families have already seen each other in Huangjue Temple, "The two children are very happy, and I want to ask Niang Niang to marry the two children." ”

Duanmu Fei came here today half to see his younger brother, and the other half was also to ask about this marriage, so he immediately responded with a smile: "When I return to the palace, I will draw up a decree immediately." ”

Then, she asked again: "Mrs. Chu, is there a wedding date?" ”

Speaking of the wedding date, the smile on Mrs. Chu's face became even stronger, and she glanced at Chu Tingshu, who was holding a peacock feather to tease Xueyu next to her, "Xiaotian and Xiaoxi are not young anymore......"

Chu Ting raised his eyebrows, and the peacock feather in his hand paused. He wanted to say, in fact, he and Jun Lingxi are not twenty, why is it called "not small".

Mrs. Chu continued: "Xiao Tian won't stay long when he comes to Beijing to report on his work, and he will go back to Jinzhou for a long time, so the two of us want to set the marriage earlier and make the marriage simple." ”

Duanmu Fei nodded frequently thoughtfully, feeling that her grandmother was reasonable!

Chu Tingshu shook the peacock feather in his hand again, and the sound in his ears sounded yesterday Jun Lingxi quietly avoided the elders and said to him: "It's good to be simple!" It's troublesome to get married! If we really follow the rules and etiquette, the two of us have to be peeled off a layer of skin! ”

The peacock feather shook in front of Xue Yu's eyes, and then shook again, so Xue Yu's eyes also went to the left for a while, and then to the right, and it couldn't help but stretch out its claws and scratch the peacock feather.

Seeing this, Chu Tingshu laughed out loud, as if he had won a victory.

Xue Yu was annoyed, a pair of round cat's eyes turned into kitchen knife eyes, she didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Tingshu, even Bi Cicada was a little sympathetic to Xue Yu, and she really wanted to hold the white cat like a white snow ball in her arms and coax her.

This scene made Mrs. Chu laugh too.

She took a sip of tea, and then said: "I am discussing with Princess Jane, and after Xiaotian and Xiaoxi get married, let Xiaoxi go to office with Xiaotian." Xiaotian's temperament in the past two years has been much more stable than before, and with him taking care of Xiaoxi, nothing can happen. ”

Bi Cicada was dumbfounded when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Chu Tingshu, who was holding a peacock feather in front of her right and started teasing the cat again, and said in her heart: This person has nothing to do with stability, right?

Duanmu Fei thought that Jun Lingxi had always wanted to go out of Beijing to play, so he couldn't help but smile and echoed: "The two of them together, there will definitely be no accident." ”

With Jun Lingxi's temperament, he will not suffer anything if he eats.

This marriage went so smoothly, Mrs. Chu became happier the more she talked, and the topic turned to the dowry, and asked someone to show Duanmu the dowry list, so that she could help see if there was anything to add.

Duanmu Fei had a hard time leaving the palace, and he was not in a hurry to return to the palace, he accompanied Mrs. Chu in the Xuanguo Mansion for a while, and then had lunch before returning to the palace.

In the afternoon of the same day, Duanmu Fei personally issued an edict to Chu Tingshu and Jun Lingxi to marry, and soon, the two families set a wedding date on May 15.

So, after Chu Tingshu reported on his work, Mu Yan made an exception and stayed in Beijing for two more months, and it was not until May 25 that he returned to his post with Jun Lingxi.

On the same day, Duanmu Fei, Han Xing, and Dangui also went to see off Chu Tingshu and Jun Lingxi.

After returning to the palace, Duanmu Fei looked stunned, and Mu Yan also knew that Chu Tingshu had left Beijing today, so he deliberately returned from the imperial study early, and hugged the twins to tease her.

The twins are eight months old, and they are able to roll over on their own, sit up on their own, crawl on their own, and even stand up on their own by the fence of a small bed.

At this moment, the twins became more interesting, and at the same time, the nurses, palace maids and chamberlains who served them did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear that if they were not careful, the twins would crawl out to play by themselves.

Especially Mu Chenyi, his temperament is far more lively and active than Xiao Zhangzhu.

No, when Mu Yan brought the twins over, Xiao Zhangzhu remained motionless in his father's arms, Mu Chenyi was restless, stretched out his claws and tried to grab the tassel on Duanmu's scarlet hairpin, and called vaguely: "Mother...... Mother. ”

With Mu Yan here, Mu Chenyi naturally would not succeed, Mu Yan quickly pressed Mu Chenyi's little hand.

"You naughty!" Duanmu Fei nodded on Mu Chenyi's nose with one hand, and took off the red blonde hairpin between the sideburns with the other hand and handed it to Bi Chan.

The eight-month-old baby is more curious than the cat, especially Mu Chenyi, who wants to grab any gadget when he sees it, and the first thing that suffers is the jewelry on Duanmufei's body, so these days, Duanmufei almost doesn't dare to wear any jewelry on his body, and today he wore a hairpin because he went out.

Duanmu Fei took Mu Chenyi from Mu Yan's hand, and Bi Chan took the hairpin and went to the direction of the dormitory.

Mu Chenyi felt that Bi Cicada had snatched his own things, and kept screaming "Wow Wow" and "Ya Ya", seeing that no one paid attention to it, he called "Daddy" loudly.

Duanmu Fei looked at the little guy, couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed, and suddenly became a lot more energetic.

"Ah Yan, do you think he said that the overlapping words look like Xiaoba?" Duanmu smiled happily.

"Like!" Mu Yan nodded thoughtfully, and tapped the tip of Mu Chenyi's nose with the tip of his nose, "He doesn't know more than eight words." ”

Duanmu covered his mouth and smiled, and Xiao Zhangzhu also covered his mouth and laughed.

Little dolls at this age like to imitate adults the most, and the female doll also smiled to reveal a pair of cute pear vortexes.

Mu Yan also noticed this scene and laughed stupidly.

"Zhenzhen, look at the palm beads!"

Mu Yan's phoenix eyes were shining, and he felt that his baby daughter was too smart and cute.

Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up, and she continued to cover her mouth and smile, and Xiao Zhangzhu also smiled even more heartily, and giggles escaped from between her lips and teeth.

The laughter seemed to be contagious, and even Mu Chenyi laughed along.

The child was very forgetful, he had forgotten all about the hairpin, and aimed his attention at his sister's cat-headed hat, and the white fat paw quickly stretched out, however, he was held down by his father again.

Mu Yan thought that this little ghost was making trouble, and then simply took off his tiger head hat and stuffed it into his fat paws. Mu Chenyi finally "caught" something, and played with his "loot" contentmently, giggling non-stop.

At this time, Xiao Douzi came in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the small objects for grabbing Zhou are all ready." ”

In fact, there are still many months before the first birthday banquet of the twins, but for the first birthday banquet of the crown prince and the eldest princess, the people below are all going all out, and they don't dare to slack off at all, and all kinds of preparations are arranged early.

Those little things should have been presented to Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan, but the palace people in Chonghua Palace knew that the twins were curious now, so they didn't dare to take them.

The couple handed over their two children to the nurse, and went next door with great interest to look at the small objects used to catch Zhou.

In order to make it easier for the two children to grasp, everything is made small and exquisite, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, seal, abacus, coins, flowers, rouge, swords, scissors, rulers, patterns, scriptures, etc.

Duanmu Fei found it very interesting, picked up a delicate little sword, small scissors, small abacus, etc., and played with it.

Mu Yan smiled and proposed, "Zhen Zhen, when the time comes, let's put all these things together and let the two of them catch Zhou together, okay?" ”

Duanmu nodded with a frowning eyebrow.

Duanmufei and Mu Yan didn't plan to hold a big first birthday banquet, although the treasury has been much richer in the past two years, but there are many things to do, and the silver is not enough to spend, so when the courtiers mentioned the prince's first birthday banquet, Mu Yan refused, he only planned to hold a small banquet in the palace, invite some relatives and friends at that time, and then let the two children catch a week, just like ordinary people.

Luluo, Xiao Douzi and the others were a little speechless when they heard it, exchanged glances with each other, and said in their hearts: The emperor and the queen's hearts are inevitably too big, aren't they afraid that the crown prince will catch the flowers and the little princess will catch the sword?!

Phew!

Xiao Douzi secretly smacked himself in his heart, and slapped himself, their prince is wise and martial, so he will naturally pick up the treasure seal, scriptures and swords!!

At this time, Duanmu Fei picked up a big red silk flower from the case, and said happily: "After the first birthday banquet, it will be the wedding of my sister and Cen Gongzi!" ”

Mu Yan also smiled, "I have inquired, the eldest brother has prepared a hundred and twenty-eight dowry gifts, do you guess what the last one is?" ”
