What Sun Beiji said, Zhang Shouzhong really couldn't be clearer.

Why did the emperor personally order the opening of a special road for those who mentioned Xuan Xiu in the twenty-fourth year of Jianxi? In the final analysis, it is because there are too many excerpts handed over every day.

For Emperor Jianxi, the excerpts are endless.

There are urgent needs to be solved in various places, and when the former cabinet chief and assistant are in charge, important excerpts will be specially ranked first, so that Emperor Jianxi can see it as soon as possible.

And the peace folds or congratulatory watches will be pressed to the bottom - although these folds will also be sent to the emperor, but Emperor Jianxi's energy is really limited.

Sometimes I haven't finished reading the previous day's excerpts, and the new day's excerpts still have to be sent to the inner court.

As a result, some folds will never have a chance to see the light of day again in the pile of old papers.

The courtiers had a special image of this - "the fold was drowned".

"I remember that Song Bozong would write down all the matters that needed to be approved in a book of excerpts when he performed the Xuan Song every day," Sun Beiji said softly, "Since the emperor was unwell last night......

"Song Bozong took a risk, and it was expected that the emperor would not finish reading the article, so he carried private goods inside," Zhang Shouzhong said in a low voice, "Is this what the elder guesses?" ”

Sun Beiji did not admit it, nor did he deny it.

He looked up at the council chamber not far away.

“…… Whether it is or not, we will know the details when the prince comes back in a while. Sun Beiji said in a low voice.

……

In the small garden of Prince Gong's mansion, Chen Yicong came quickly with a brocade box.

The princess is also taking care of her little garden today, the spring flowers are gone, and the summer flowers are gradually blooming again, so she will always have something to do.

"Mother." The boy shouted from afar.

Zhen turned around and saw that Shizi was walking towards her, she was a little surprised, "Didn't you go to Guozijian today?" ”

"The child went, but he really couldn't listen to the lesson, so he took leave with the masters and came back first." Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

Zhen was slightly stunned, "Not feeling well? ”

Chen Yicong shook his head, "When I came back yesterday, I forgot to ask my mother about something, and the child has been thinking about this today, so I simply came to ask now." ”

Zhen looked at the brocade box in his son's hand.

She handed the scissors in her hand to the maidservant beside her, and then walked to the stone table with Shizi and sat down.

Open the brocade box - inside is the lotus hair crown that she put on the prince with her own hands yesterday.

Zhen looked at it and quickly guessed what Shizi wanted to ask.

"Grandpa said that this crown has a provenance," Shizi looked at his mother, "and he asked me to ask you." ”

Zhen gently closed the lid of the brocade box, and a slight gentleness appeared in his eyes.

"Why did the concubine wear this hair crown to the palace yesterday?" Chen Yicong asked again, "Whose hair crown is this?" ”

"This is your crown." Zhen said in a low voice, she raised her eyes to look at the prince, "When you turned one year old, it coincided with a great drought, and the officials in Beijing had to set an example, and no big things were allowed to be done.

"I have consulted with your father that you will be spared the wine of the old age. But thinking that it was your first birthday after all, I learned the customs of the people, prepared some thin wine at home, and invited three or five guests to let you catch the week.

"As a result, I put you down, and your imperial grandfather came."

Chen Yicong listened carefully.

"You are very stubborn in your swaddling clothes, as long as you wake up, you have to hold me, your father or the nurse can't coax me well, and I am tired......" Zhen said and laughed, "That day Zhou was also the first time your imperial grandfather saw you-"

"See you for the first time?" Chen Yicong was a little surprised, "Didn't the imperial grandfather come to see me before?" It's not that when I was born, my grandfather rewarded me with a lot of things—"

"I haven't told you about this. Because before you were born, the emperor had found someone to take a hexagram. According to the hexagram, your fate is very dangerous before you are a year old, and you will die if you don't do it well - so it is difficult for even your father to visit you every day during that time. Zhen said softly, "The main thing is that I am afraid that their luck will crush you." ”

"There is such a thing...... Chen Yicong smiled dumbly, "Do you believe it?" ”

"Believe it or not, but none of us can afford it. Anyway, that day, your imperial grandfather saw you for the first time," Zhen continued, "and we all stood up to make a big salute, but your imperial grandfather stopped us—he was probably worried that the reaction of the crowd would surprise you, and he kept looking at you to see what you would catch in the end." ”

"What did the boy catch?"

"You didn't catch any of the things we prepared for you." Zhen lowered his head and smiled, "After you climbed to the other end of the red carpet, you kept staring at your imperial grandfather, and your father was watching from the side, so frightened that he almost couldn't stand steadily...... Luckily, I was quick and helped him. ”

Chen Yicong could almost imagine the scene at that time, and he couldn't help but smile, "And then? ”

"Then your imperial grandfather sank his face and said that the things we prepared were too vulgar, so the prince didn't like any of them." Zhen said softly, "As soon as he finished speaking, you sat down at the table and giggled, as if you really understood what he was saying."

"Then he approached and tried to pick you up—I was frightened at that time, and I was afraid that you would cry in public again, and make your grandfather unhappy, or make him think that you were separated from him—"

"Even if it's a raw point, it's a matter of course." Chen Yicong said softly, "After all, I haven't seen it before." ”

"The truth is this, but people's feelings are always unreasonable," Zhen said softly, the memory brought a little warmth in her eyes, "I just watched there, watched, and almost wanted to open my mouth to stop it...... I watched as your imperial grandfather lifted you up and hugged you on his shoulders - you didn't even cry.

Zhen said softly, "At that time, I suddenly felt that there might really be something in the world. Afterwards, Huang Gonggong also told me that he had been in the palace before, and he had been alerted to the emperor before, and the prince was a very difficult child, and no one expected that the grandfather and grandson would feel very close to each other when they saw each other. ”

Chen Yicong looked at the brocade box on the table, "What about the hair crown?" What's the deal with the hair crown? ”

"Don't worry, it's about to happen," Zhen glanced at Shizi, "just as I was relieved, you suddenly stretched out your hand—it was this hair crown that was grabbing it, and it was wearing it on your imperial grandfather's head at the time." ”

Chen Yicong was stunned for a moment.

"That's why I'm catching Zhou is ......"

"That's it." Zhen smiled, "We thought the emperor would be angry, and everyone knelt down to ask for guilt; But he didn't, not only did he not, but he laughed out loud as if he was happy. Later, he sent someone to send this hair crown to the palace, and told us that this hair crown was won by him and his brother when he was a child, and from the first emperor...... Therefore, he rarely wore it and kept it in treasure, thinking that today was to meet his first grandson, so he temporarily put it on.

"Yesterday's meeting was not trivial," Zhen looked at Shizi, "The power of heaven is unpredictable, after thinking about it, I still let you wear this hair crown." In this way, even if he has any unhappiness in his heart, looking at this old thing, he can still think of a little bit of the warmth of the past...... After all, you're the kid he watched grow up. ”
