Chapter 149: The King of the County
Emperor Wenyuan saw that a group of ministers were stunned and puzzled, put down the fold, and Gonggong Xu took the tea before, Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Ye Guiyue, flicked it with the lid of the tea cup, and took a sip leisurely.
It was very quiet in the imperial study, except for Si'er's crying and the sound of coaxing the children not to cry, several ministers secretly guessed, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, Zuo Xiang couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the frame of the king of Zhennan took two children into the palace last night, could it be these two?" β
The left minister reminded, and the right minister also remembered, he also heard about it, and there were ministers in the early dynasties, and there were all kinds of speculations, but the king of Zhennan did not go to the court, and he didn't know, "This is the son and daughter of the prince of the county?" It is said that when he entered the palace, he was made the prince of Zhennan by the king of Zhennan, and he also overthrew the status of the prince of the county in the palace of Zhennan in one fell swoop? β
Emperor Wen Yuan listened, glanced at the right minister, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, I can't think of what happened in Zhennan Wangfu last night, they all know it.
I know that Zhennan Wangfu picked up a lot of two children to go back, but because of his own son, I don't know much about the fall of favor from my father, and several ministers in the imperial study blew up the nest, turned their heads to each other, and said to the right minister, "Such gossip, where did the right minister hear it, Zhennan Wang Hu is well known, and he has taken care of the county prince as an eyeball for more than ten years, and he will not spoil him for the sake of just a child?" β
The right minister is actually not sure, but when the maid prayed, he was righteous and righteous, and said with a smile, "Jiang Xinhou, you are the brother-in-law of the king of Zhennan, and you should know more about the king of Zhennan than we do, he has never liked trouble, when did the prince's frame guard of honor be used, but it was used to pick up the two children last night, is this common?" β
It's strange to be ordinary, Jiang Xinhou looked at Ye Guiyue, and then looked at Si'er who gradually stopped crying, and asked Ye Guiyue, "Are these two children really yours?" With whom? β
Ye Guiyue glanced at him impatiently and looked at Emperor Wenyuan. "The emperor called me for something?"
Emperor Wenyuan put down the teacup and glanced at the two children, and Gonggong Xu understood, and asked Sister-in-law Qian to take Chen'er forward and take a look with the emperor. Sister-in-law Qian hugged Chen'er tightly, her legs were swinging, did she want to hold Xiao Shizi forward? That's the emperor, will I bump into the emperor with the joy of a village girl, sister-in-law Qian hesitated, Gonggong Xu frowned, knowing that she was frightened, so she gave the floating dust in her hand to the little maid behind her, and came to hug the dust in person.
Although Emperor Wenyuan has had many sons and daughters, he has not hugged two at all. When Gonggong Xu gave Chen'er to him, he was obviously a little flustered, afraid of hurting Chen'er, and his cautious appearance made a room of civil and military ministers frowning. The emperor didn't even hold his own son, but he hugged the son of King Yuejun, who was against him everywhere, and he was so careful?
Several ministers looked at Emperor Wenyuan without blinking, wanting to find out, but their hearts turned a thousand times, it is said that when the emperor hugged the prince of the county, the prince of the county urinated on the emperor's dragon robe. Son Xiao's father, I don't know if this little son will be?
Several ministers were guessing and looking forward to it, but when they saw Chen'er giggling, he went to the emperor with his small mouth, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, this kid is more like a madman than his father. It's only been a few months that I know how to shoot the emperor's ass.
Emperor Wen Yuan really didn't expect Chen'er to kiss him, and after being stunned, he laughed and said, "This kid is very good!" β
Emperor Wen Yuan was really happy, and hugged Chen'er and kissed him several times. The amused Chen'er giggled, remembering Chen'er's name, so while playing with Chen'er's little hands, he asked, "What is Chen'er's full name and where does it come from?" β
Ye Guiyue said the gentleman's nine thoughts, and Emperor Wenyuan nodded, "What about Chen'er?" β
"Where there are so many meanings, whoever takes ......."
The ministers were all speechless, just listening to Si'er's name, they felt that the prince of the county had really put in a lot of effort, the meaning of Xiao Shizi's name was absolutely extraordinary, who wanted to take it casually, was it really casual or did not want to ignore the emperor?
Emperor Wenyuan glared at Ye Guiyue, then looked down at Chen'er and said, "I will change your name, Ye Junchen." β
Gonggong Xu raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Wenyuan, with a look of surprise in his eyes, the emperor really plans to pass on the throne to Xiao Shizi in the future, and the identity of Xiao Shizi is determined in one word, Jun.
All the ministers looked at the emperor, the emperor was really strange, he changed the name of the prince of the county, almost fell out with the king of Zhennan, and today he changed the name of the little prince, isn't the emperor looking for abuse, I don't know if the prince of the county can bear it, so I heard Ye Guiyue say loudly, "That's my son, I don't dislike his name is ugly, what did the emperor change?" β
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Ye Guiyue, knowing that he had a son later than him, he was not ashamed, and he dared to shout loudly, Emperor Wenyuan looked at Zhiwan and asked slowly, "I changed Chen'er's name, and the princess of the county did not agree?" β
It's really lying down and getting shot, you guys are fighting, what to do by dragging her into the water, it was a great honor for the emperor to give her a name, she dared to say no, and nodded hurriedly, "I know that the emperor will give her name on behalf of Chen'er." β
Emperor Wenyuan laughed, the laughing was not the knowledge of current affairs that knew the evening, but that Chen'er fell in love with the jade seal, and reached out to take it, when Emperor Wenyuan hugged the leaves and returned to Yue, he was also like this, the louder Emperor Wenyuan laughed, Gonggong Xu wiped his sweat, the emperor must not give the jade seal to the little prince to play, what if it really falls?
But Emperor Wen Yuan stretched out his hand and took the jade seal, playing with Chen'er, Chen'er was too young to hold it at all, so he opened a pair of black grapes like washed water, looked at the jade seal, touched it with his little hands, and muttered something in his mouth that no one could understand, and giggled, holding the jade seal with his two arms, and wanted to hold it in his arms.
The ministers of civil and military affairs all watched with their eyes open, if it weren't for Chen'er's young age, they would have to impeach and ask the emperor to kill him, covet the jade seal, and he will not be spared!
Emperor Wen Yuan wanted to see if Chen'er would throw away the jade seal like his father, but at that time, Yue'er was older than him, and his hands were stronger, especially his feet, and he was really unambiguous when he kicked things.
After raising it for a while, Emperor Wen Yuan's hand was also sore, put down the jade seal, pinched Chen'er's little nose and said, "This is too big, I will give you a small one to play." β
As he spoke, he glanced at the little father-in-law on the side, and the little father-in-law presented a holy decree and handed it to Father-in-law Xu, who hurriedly took the decree, opened it and took a look, twitched the corners of his mouth twice, coughed lightly twice in his throat, and then read it.
After Gonggong Xu finished reading, everyone in the imperial study was stunned, the emperor named the little prince as the king of Chenjun? Little Miss became the lord of Jiusi?
Zuo Xiang stepped forward and said. "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, the son of the prince of the county can be crowned the prince, how can there be a reason to be crowned the king of the county. The prince of the county is the second-class county king, but the dust county king is the first-class county king, isn't it the father who wants to salute when he sees his son? β
Ye Guiyue's face was blue and black, and the corners of his eyes twitched, if that was the case, how could he still gain a foothold in Kyoto?
Zhiwan didn't expect this, his cheeks almost cramped, is the emperor too funny, he used Chen'er's hand to suppress Ye Guiyue, this guy didn't like Chen'er very much. In this way, it's not that the more you look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes, your majesty, you can't hurt the dust!
Emperor Wen Yuan smiled disappreliantly, "Above the court." It is not for nothing that the son is higher than the father's official title, the king of Zhennan loves Chen'er, and even the king of Yuejun is subordinate, and the title I want to seal is under him, and he will come to me to make trouble tomorrow. β
Although there is three points of truth in this reason, they all remember that back then, the title of the prince of the county was exchanged for military merits by the king of Zhennan. These days, the prince did not go on an expedition, nor did he make meritorious contributions, and the emperor named his grandson the king of the county, does the emperor intend to attack Nanshun and Northern Qi? Stammering the king of the south first? But what kind of character does the king of Zhennan have, how can he be bought like this?
Emperor Wen Yuan lowered his head and amused Chen'er. Just kidding, this is his eldest grandson, King Zhennan can make Yue'er fall out of favor for him, his own grandfather can't give him a throne, but the position of the prince can't be given. Otherwise, he will make him the king of dust, and let the king of Zhennan laugh when he sees it, in short, he can't let the dust and the king of Zhennan get too close, so as not to be taught by him to be the second Yue'er.
Emperor Wenyuan thought about it, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, he couldn't wait to leave Chen'er in the palace, and it was good to see it all the time, just thinking about it, Gonggong Xu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince said that he will no longer condone the prince of the county in the future, and after the princess of the county returns to the door in the third dynasty, the prince of the county will go to the court." β
Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, but he is a talker, Emperor Wenyuan nodded his head, and there was no superfluous expression.
After playing for a while, Chen'er fell asleep in Emperor Wenyuan's arms, Emperor Wenyuan carefully hugged Chen'er to Gonggong Xu, and asked him to hold it to the nurse, who knew that Gonggong Xu had only taken a step, and the little father-in-law outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, the master sent someone to pass the word, so that you and the prince don't spoil his baby apprentice too much." β
Left and right stared at each other, there was no chance for the master to accept the apprentice? The meaning of the obedient is that the apprentice of the master seems to be the king of Chenjun who has just been crowned by the emperor?
Several ministers were tired, thinking that back then, the king of Yuejun had also tied a purple rope, and the monarch and ministers were jealous, and asked the emperor to get rid of him, so as not to have the Zhennan Wangfu support the army and respect himself, and then the king of Yuejun himself tore off the purple rope to be safe and sound, but these years the king of Yuejun has been arrogant, and the power of the Zhennan Wangfu is even more monstrous, and now there is a small county king, not only the king of Zhennan and the emperor are very important, even the master of Wuyuan is so fanciful.
The emperor of the generation of the master will only accept three kinds of people as apprentices, one is the emperor who will rule the world in the future, the other is the courtier of a very human minister, and then there is the master who inherits his mantle.
It is impossible for him to be the apprentice of the master who has no chance to inherit his mantle, that is, the courtier of a supreme minister, of course, it is not excluded that he is the emperor who reigns over the world!
When Ye Guiyue heard this, his eyes lit up, "It's just right, I don't like this kid very much, so I will give it to the master who has no chance, so that I can inherit his mantle in the future." β
"......." β
Ministers," ....... β
Emperor Wenyuan, "....... β
and Father-in-law Xu, who was holding Chen'er, almost didn't drop Chen'er because of his weak legs, the corners of his mouth twitched, how much the prince of the county doesn't like Xiao Shizi, the master of the fate will never ask the little prince to shave, he is shoehorned.
Zhiwan almost vomited blood, two steps away from him without a trace, this guy is not her husband, not her son's father, it's too unreliable!
Zhiwan's expression, that small movement, Emperor Wen Yuan saw it clearly, and asked with a tense face, "If I send him to be a monk, don't you mind?" β
This he doesn't mean Chen'er, it's Chen'er's father.
Zhiwan shook his head lightly, Ye Guiyue's eyes swept over, and Zhiwan immediately changed his words, "Zhiwan is worried that the Xianggong will bring bad monks in the world, and the emperor will think twice." β
Emperor Wenyuan laughed, "You know him well, for the sake of the purity of Buddhism, I have to think twice." β
Several ministers couldn't help laughing, the princess of the county was talking interestingly, she was smiling, a pair of eyes swept over, and several ministers subconsciously pursed their lips, no way, I'm afraid it will become a habit.
Ye Guiyue frowned. looked at Emperor Wen Yuan unhappily, "Are you alright?" β
If it were to be changed to usual, Emperor Wen Yuan would definitely be angry, but he was happy today. I won't pursue his crime of disrespect, "Since the king of Zhennan no longer pampers you, I am also willing to give you a chance to reform yourself, and after the return ceremony, you must go to the morning court on time every day, and the training of three thousand private soldiers must also be paid attention to, if you slack off, you will be punished." β
Ye Guiyue had a dark face, he could feel that his father and the emperor didn't seem to be joking, he just married a princess. Do you have two more children, how do you feel as if he is very unimportant?
"Since Chen'er is the king of the county, there should be a fief, right?"
Zhiwan and the ministers were speechless, the prince of the county is really going to get an inch, and the emperor has not given much reward to the little county king. Thousands of acres of fertile land, thousands of taels of gold, countless silk and satin, and the county king's mansion, Kyoto has not yet had a product of the county king, just him, it should have been after the death of the emperor's brother. The prince of the county has the title of the king of the county, and the emperor made an exception to seal the title of a product, he was not grateful, and he also asked for a fief, which was really the courage to be used to.
Emperor Wenyuan frowned slightly, "Half of the fiefdom in Lizhou is yours. Then the other half will be given to the dust. β
The faces of the left and right ministers changed greatly, and they stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely inappropriate, Lizhou is the gateway to Kyoto." All dynasties have not been rewarded as fiefs, before to give to the prince of the county, the civil and military officials do not agree, the king of the county is the son of the prince of the county, what is the difference between the reward and him? β
Zhiwan stood there, rolling his eyes, is it good that the emperor is the old fox, Lizhou is generally Ye Guiyue's, and who is generally in charge, isn't it still him, now he has given Chen'er, first, to occupy the reputation, and secondly, it is not good to be a father to occupy his son's things, Zhiwan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what the left and right ministers said is right, Chen'er is young and can't keep such an important place, it's better to give Xinzhou to Chen'er a fief, right?" β
Xinzhou? The adults in the study room of the first imperial study are looking at Zhiwan, Xinzhou is vast and barren, the people are miserable, it has always been given to those unfavored princes, and Lizhou is heaven and earth, and the head of the princess of the county is squeezed by the door, right?
Ye Guiyue frowned, and soon relaxed, because Zhiwan was winking at him, what does this woman eat is not to suffer, could it be that Xinzhou is better than Lizhou?
Emperor Wenyuan is also a little uncertain, the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion are deeply hidden, they know the secret recipe of fine iron, and they will also have superb medical skills, and they will know the lotus platform...... What treasures does it have in Xinzhou?
In that place in Xinzhou, he had also rewarded the prince, but every time the reward was finished, he would come to him to cry, or ask the queen mother, so that he had not been rewarded until now, since she wanted it, how could Emperor Wenyuan not give it.
The left and right ministers were puzzled, Xinzhou was not smaller than Lizhou, and the fief used as the county king was too big, but because it was barren and no one wanted it, several ministers did not come out to stop it, and ten Xinzhou were not as good as one Lizhou!
After the emperor agreed, Zhiwan couldn't help but hook his lips, no matter how he couldn't hold it, Ye Guiyue looked at him curiously, "You like Xinzhou so much?" β
Zhiwan glanced at him and said softly, "A big treasury, do you say I like it or not?" β
Zhiwan said in a low voice, but there were many military attachΓ©s in the imperial study, and their hearing was extraordinary, and Emperor Wenyuan also heard it, because he didn't hide his curiosity, "The princess of the county loves Xinzhou so much, she doesn't even want Lizhou, what does Xinzhou have?" β
Zhiwan pursed his lips, thinking that the emperor had said that since he was rewarded to Chen'er, he should not talk back, even if he turned back, he had to estimate Ye Guiyue and the king of Zhennan, and the future movement of Xinzhou will not be small, sooner or later it will not be hidden, Zhiwan thought about it, and decided to tell the truth, "Zhiwan has seen the description of Xinzhou in the "Kyushu Chronicles", Xinzhou is vast and barren, rich in black stones, which can be burned, just because it contains impurities, it will cause people to be poisoned, and Zhiwan wants Xinzhou, and what he wants is the black stone. β
Zuo Xiang read "Kyushu Chronicles" quickly, and naturally knew that what Zhiwan said was true, "Since the princess of the county knows that the black stone is poisonous, why should she still do it?" β
Zhiwan said with a smile, "It's poisonous because it is not treated, and it is not used properly, as long as Xinzhou is dusty, Zhiwan can ensure that Xinzhou's tax revenue will increase by at least twenty times, and the charcoal fire of the Dayue Dynasty army for the winter every year is covered with dust!" β
Zhiwan said that the clouds were light and light, but a room full of ministers were gasping, including Emperor Wenyuan, did she know how many people there were in the army of the Great Yue Dynasty and how much charcoal fire was needed to survive the winter, which was a lot of expenses, but now it was handed over to a child waiting to be fed and a barren land?
But what Zhiwan said was conclusive, and he took the initiative to speak, but he didn't stop her in the end, Zuo Xiang smiled, "Your Majesty, the princess of the county is so confident, and the minister thinks it is credible, but she is a woman, although the king of the county is her son, she can't do such a big thing, and the minister feels that this should be guaranteed by the prince of the county." β
Zhiwan pouted, she had talked about this, and she didn't even believe her, if she didn't know that Chen'er would be the emperor in the future, those troops were his, she wanted to help him accumulate popularity, so she wouldn't say these words, but people didn't believe her, she had no choice but to look at Ye Guiyue, but Ye Guiyue frowned and looked at Emperor Wenyuan, "Whether what she said is true, I don't know, but there is a black stone mountain near Kyoto, the emperor might as well reward Chen'er together?" β
"......." β
Emperor Wenyuan, "....... β
Ministers," ....... β
Everyone's face is full of black lines, is this an attitude he doesn't know, he doesn't think the black stone is enough!
Emperor Wenyuan was also refreshed, "It's okay to give dust, and half of the income from the stone will be collected by the imperial court." β
Ye Guiyue didn't know how much the stone was earning, so he looked at Zhiwan, can Zhiwan not agree, is this a pie in the sky, if so, it is best to be able to collect all the coal mines of the Dayue Dynasty, but unfortunately, it is not very realistic.
Emperor Wenyuan just wanted to see how valuable the black stone was, and it could increase Xinzhou's tax revenue by twenty times, which means that in the past, Xinzhou's tax revenue was 100,000, but after it was given to Chen'er, the tax revenue became 2 million!
Several ministers didn't believe it, if the black stone was really that good, Xinzhou would really be a golden mountain, not how many people in the Dayue Dynasty didn't know, but a princess of a county knew.
Zhiwan couldn't stand still, and at this time, a little father-in-law came in from outside and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." β
Before the words fell, a male duck's voice came from outside, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" β
Zhiwan turned around and saw the Queen Mother in a luxurious phoenix robe stepping in, the Queen Mother was not very old, in her early fifties, and she looked like she was only in her forties, with a good demeanor, but there was a faint anger between her eyebrows, her eyes were sharp, and she had the majesty of a superior person.
The minister saluted, and Emperor Wenyuan also got down from the dragon chair and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother come to the imperial study?" β
The queen mother didn't spare the bend, and went straight to the point, "The mourning family heard that last night the king of Zhennan used his car to drive the guard of honor to pick up two children into the palace of Zhennan, and now the emperor used the guard of honor to pick up the two children into the palace, and rewarded them wantonly, just children, and also named the king of the county, so many princes of the emperor did not have a reward, is it appropriate?" β
The first emperor and even the emperors of all dynasties have had a precedent of being crowned a king and a county king at the birth of the prince, but the current emperor does not have it, but he has made the son of the king of Yue County the king of the county, or the king of the first grade, how can the queen mother bear it? She asked for the title of the four princes several times, and if the prince was not crowned king, there would be no fief, and without a fief, he would not be able to raise government soldiers, and if he held the military power, he would be more or less subject to others.
What's more, yesterday, the king of Yuejun and the prince of Xiangwang got married on the same day, and they both married the daughters of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and entered the palace at the same time, why does the emperor love the king of Yuejun so much, the queen mother suppressed her anger and said, "The princess of Yuejun and the king of Yuejun gave birth before marriage, and there was originally a violation of the law of etiquette, and the emperor not only punished him, but also rewarded him so much, what do the people of the world think?" The mourning family has only counted the prince of the prince for half a day, and the princess is also pregnant, if she also gives birth to a son, will the emperor also be crowned the king of the county and reward him lavishly? β
The left and right ministers bowed their heads, and it was not the first time that the queen mother compared the prince of the prime minister and the prince of the county, to be honest, although the prince of the county was stubborn, in all fairness, it was indeed better than the prince of the prince, but this time, the emperor's reward came inexplicably, no wonder the queen mother was dissatisfied.
Emperor Wenyuan frowned and was displeased, there was a flash of darkness in his eyes, the queen mother didn't care at all, and said sternly, "The king of the county also wants Xinzhou to be a fief, so many county kings, the emperor has rewarded him, and the fief of Xinzhou wants half of the mourning family, and it will be kept for the little prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion." β
