Li Sheng's enthronement ceremony, although in a hurry, was still solemn, even if he had ordered that during the national funeral, it was not appropriate to do a big thing, but no one really dared to snub the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Li Sheng was dressed in a dragon robe, and his handsome and young face already had a faint majesty, he walked up to the temple step by step, worshipping the heavens and worshipping his ancestors, and he finally got what belonged to him.

Yun Qian took hundreds of civil and military officials to worship, shouting long live, Li Sheng's eyes were like torches, and he finally felt the majesty of becoming the Ninth Five-Year Honor.

He did it!

Although this journey was not easy, he did not live up to the expectations of the emperor after all, and he finally came to this position, with a resolute light in his clear and dark eyes.

He would have been a good emperor.

When Li Sheng was nineteen years old, he ascended the throne as the emperor and was named Xuande, opening a chapter of a prosperous generation.

After Li Sheng ascended the throne, the first thing was to arrange the funeral affairs of Emperor Qianyuan, watching the originally majestic Emperor Qianyuan lying quietly in the coffin, all the past grievances and grievances were over, and there was no need to be entangled anymore.

As for the concubines of Emperor Qianyuan, except for Chen Guifei who was imprisoned, Li Sheng, the others, did not reprimand him, and encircled a piece of land to let them live for the rest of their lives.

For a time, the reputation of Li Sheng's benevolence and tolerance spread.

Originally, some ministers were still uneasy in their hearts, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Sheng was His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in the past, and his identity was special, so his temperament was inevitably forbearing, and now he has ascended the throne as the emperor, and he is still generous, which makes all the ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

After Li Sheng ascended the throne, the first order was to be an official, and the first to bear the brunt was Su Zhan, who was named the head of the household; And Xu Guanyi went to the Ministry of War and was named the squire of the Ministry of War, which was Lin Zhengan's position in the past.

It is said that Xu Guanyi personally asked Li Sheng for the Ministry of War, he used to follow Gu Junyan, served in the military, and knew a little about the affairs of the Ministry of War.

These two people are the heroes who assisted Li Sheng to ascend the throne, Li Sheng is rewarded for meritorious deeds, although it is not a main matter, it is only because they are still young, and when they make meritorious achievements, the future will definitely be even more limitless, this is something that everyone knows, so after they took office, no one in Shangguan colleagues dared to embarrass them.

However, Su Zhan and Xu Guan, as the emperor's confidants, have no extravagance, do everything themselves, are kind and modest, and treat their predecessors with an open mind.

Su Zhan is easy to say, he was born in a scholarly family, and he became famous at a young age, but Xu Guanyi is an out-and-out son of a poor family, this is a phoenix who once flew on the branches, and Xu Guanyi looks elegant and handsome, no father and mother, and has not yet married, although he has a child with him, but it is said that he is also an orphan he adopted, such a bright future and loving upstart, and soon became a fragrant bait in the eyes of many people.

There were even people who went to Xu Guanyi to ask for marriage despite the fact that they were still in the state funeral, but Xu Guanyi refused on the grounds that he did not do happy events during the national funeral and never agreed.

Not long after Li Sheng ascended the throne, the Great Liao State heard about the death of Emperor Qianyuan, and by virtue of the handover of the new emperor, the government was unstable, and sent 500,000 troops to press the border.

Gu Junyan asked for his life in danger and led the army to defend against the enemy, and Li Sheng played it on the spot.

Gu Junyan hurriedly led his troops back to Xuzhou City, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Su Yunlai, when Su Yunlai got the news, Gu Junyan had already left.

There were some things that didn't need to be said to her face, she already understood, and she would wait for him to come back.

This battle has been going on for a year.

A year later.

The new emperor has been on the throne for a year, the national mourning has passed, Li Sheng and Yun Huanting's wedding is also on the agenda, Yun Qian personally wrote to His Majesty, the dynasty is in danger, the border is in turmoil, the treasury is empty, the people are miserable, the wedding should be simple, not wasted.

The eldest lady of the Yun family even ran around, raising materials and food for the soldiers on the front line, and also took the lead in donating her dowry.

Li Sheng...... Now that he has become Emperor Xuande, he is reviewing the folds in the imperial study at this time, he looked at the folds in his hand, all of them were praising the Yun family girl, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but set off a faint mockery.

"Now that she hasn't entered the palace yet, the Yun family can't wait to build momentum for her, why is this because she is afraid of my words and has no faith?" Li Sheng said with some displeasure.

Standing under the hall were Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi, the two of them glanced at each other, both bowing their heads and saying nothing.

As the wedding date approaches, Li Sheng's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and they all know that Li Sheng is not satisfied with this marriage, but at this time, the Yun family can't wait to come out to build momentum for the new queen, and it is no wonder that Li Sheng is angry when he praises the queen of the clouds.

Li Sheng is not a particularly strong emperor, but he has his own temper, and often such a person is actually the most terrifying, because no one knows what he will be angry about.

Xu Guanyi gave Su Zhan a look and motioned for him to appease His Majesty, Su Zhan looked innocent, why him?

However, Su Zhan still took a step forward and said respectfully: "Miss Yun's move can be regarded as sharing your Majesty's worries, I heard that she has raised a lot of silver for the border soldiers, and it can be regarded as a heart." ”

"But it's too hearty." Li Sheng said lightly: "She hasn't entered the palace yet, so she is making such a big fanfare, isn't he thinking more about it in the future?" ”

Xu Guanyi said at this time: "If Your Majesty is worried about the Yun family's growth, there is no need to worry about it, the Yun family does not have particularly outstanding children in this generation, and the Yun family spares no effort to build momentum for the eldest lady of the Yun family, and also hopes to use the queen to protect the Yun family." ”

Li Sheng was silent for a while, but his heart was a little more comfortable, he glanced at Su Zhan, and stopped talking a little, Su Zhan looked at him innocently, as if he didn't see his intentions at all.

"That's it, let's all step down." Li Sheng waved his hand.

Su Zhan and Xu Guan bowed and walked out of the imperial study, they were all relieved.

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more majestic." Su Zhan said with palpitations.

Li Sheng has been the emperor for a year, and his momentum is naturally not the same, but fortunately, his attitude towards them is still the same as usual, which also makes Su Zhan feel a little relieved.

Xu Guan smiled: "This is also a helpless thing, so many ministers in the DPRK want to bully Your Majesty young, if Your Majesty is not stronger, I am afraid that they will gain an inch." ”

Su Zhan nodded approvingly, paused, and glanced at Xu Guanyi: "I heard that my fourth brother has been entangled with you again recently?" ”

Xu Guanyi nodded slightly: "The fifth master of the Su family is still locked up under my hands now, it's been a year, the old lady of the Su family has never given up rescuing him, and recently she actually started to let Su Chen come to me to get close, it's really everything." After a pause, he glanced at Su Zhan: "I'm so annoyed, what about you?" Go back every day, the old lady didn't embarrass you? ”

The corners of Su Zhan's mouth showed a mocking smile: "How dare they?" You don't know our Su family, our Su family, they all speak with official positions, and now the entire Su family is all supported by me, and it's too late to coax me, where do you dare to bother me again. ”

At the beginning, Mrs. Su didn't recognize the situation clearly, and planned to suppress Su Zhan with filial piety, but Su Zhan had already seen Mrs. Su's face clearly, and when Mrs. Su allowed Su Zhimin to plan to burn Tingyuxuan, he was dead to the Su family.

Su Zhan also said bluntly, Su Zhimin and Su Chen are the remnants of the four princes, the emperor let the Su family go for his sake, if he is not filial, His Majesty is afraid that he will not let the rest of the party survive, Mrs. Su has lost her son, but she can't lose her grandson, and now the people in the fifth room are all holding the second room.

Xu Guan was so angry: "It's harmonious and loving to join your family, but I'm all alone?" ”

Mrs. Su didn't dare to bother Su Zhan, so she sent Su Chen to grind Xu Guanyi, and she was unreasonable?

Su Zhan patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Those who can work harder, those who can work harder!" Anyway, Ah Wan said, leave my fifth uncle in prison, let Mrs. Su be busy saving her son, and save the trouble of coming to her all day long, you can't let him go. ”

As soon as Xu Guan heard that it was Su Yun who said, his face became a little better, and he nodded: "I'll go back first, Xiaobao is still waiting for me at home to eat." ”

"You're interested in this kid." Su Zhan sighed.

Xu Guan smiled: "With him as a companion, I also have a lot of fun, I'll go back first." ”

"You're addicted to taking care of your children, you're not too young, it's time to think about lifelong events, and you don't even know whether it's hot or cold when you get home." Su Zhan said again.

Xu Guanyi's face was respectful, "You can bypass me, I know that you are beautiful now, so unhappy, but you can't be like you, right?" ”

Su Zhan shook his head helplessly, watched him walk away, and sighed secretly in his heart: "One or two, they are all idiots, they know that they can't do it, so why bother with it." ”

……

Xu Guanyi didn't know, and some people also had the idea of his marriage.

The fifth wife was called to Lingyun Courtyard by Mrs. Su today, since the fifth master Su was arrested by Xu Guanyi, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to be tense, and the fifth wife complained that Mrs. Su asked Su Zhimin to set fire to Tingyuxuan, so she did such a disaster.

And this time, Mrs. Su called Mrs. Fifth to come, not for anything else, but to donate silver for the border war.

"Where do we have the silver?!" The fifth lady immediately shouted: "Our master has been in prison for a year, and he can't even see his face, life and death are uncertain, and those who leave us orphans and widows are already struggling to survive!" Chen'er lost his errand again, and he didn't make any money, where did we take out the silver to donate military salaries? ”

Old Mrs. Su's brain hurt for a while, and she glanced at Mrs. Five: "Min'er is not dead yet!" You don't have to start crying now! After a pause, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and then said patiently: "Now that the national funeral has passed, the emperor is afraid that it will not be long before he will marry the girl of the Yun family. ”

Mrs. Su said such a long sentence, and took a breath before continuing: "I can see it, that Xu Guanyi is angry with one nostril of the second family, counting on him, I'm afraid that the fifth child will not think of it in his life, the emperor is about to get married, if the queen mother comes forward to intercede, the emperor will not give the Yun family this face, you can't come out with this silver?" ”

A trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the fifth wife, back then she wanted to cultivate her daughter Su Yunfei, just to let her choose a prince and become a master, but she didn't expect her calculation to fail, if it was her daughter who married into the royal family now, where did she use to live so groveling?

"Then, that can't let us get out of all five rooms!" The fifth wife blurted out and said: "Now that Chen'er and Fei'er are older, the dowry and dowry all need money, our lord will fall into prison, and he will also listen to his mother's words, now that something has happened, my mother can't ignore our master!" ”

When she was able to save her husband, the fifth wife still calculated that she would have to give less silver.

Mrs. Su was so angry that she blocked her heart, and she almost didn't go away, wanting to give her an ear scraper, but she was powerless.

The fifth wife paused, and when she mentioned the emperor's marriage, she suddenly had an idea.

"Mother, the national mourning has passed, so is it okay to discuss marriage now?" Mrs. Fifth asked suddenly.

Old Mrs. Su closed her eyes and panted softly: "Aren't you still thinking about sending Fei'er into the palace?" I advise you to take a break from this thought as soon as possible, how can Your Majesty not know about those things about your daughter? ”

"No, it's not," Mrs. Fifth wasn't stupid enough to be that far, "you can't send Fei'er into the palace, then you can also say it to Lord Xu!" Lord Xu is now the most optimistic upstart, the emperor trusts him, and the future is limitless, if he can marry Fei'er, he can't embarrass his father-in-law, right? ”

Old Mrs. Su opened her eyes, and her heart moved, "You should be optimistic about Lord Xu?" I don't know how many people in the capital are planning his marriage, why did he fall in love with your daughter? ”

"But Lord Xu and our Zhan'er are friends!" The fifth lady said as a matter of course: "We can ask Zhan'er to invite people into the mansion, won't it be much easier to do when the time comes?" ”

Old Mrs. Su glanced at her, and Mrs. Fifth gritted her teeth: "When the time comes, even if the raw rice is cooked and cooked, he can't help but be unwilling!" ”

Mrs. Su glanced at her with a slight surprise, she didn't expect that Mrs. Fifth now also has such courage, it seems that this year's downfall has forced her to break the boat.

The fifth wife has her own intentions, first, Xu Guanyi is indeed a good man, he looks good, and his future is bright, and Su Yunfei is not wronged by marrying him; What's more, let Xu Guanyi say a few good words for Su Chen, maybe he can get the emperor's forgiveness and give him an errand, the fifth wife believes that with Su Chen's ability, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely get ahead.

By the way, you can also save the five masters, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

When Mrs. Su thought about it, it was really a good idea.

As soon as Mrs. Fifth saw her look, she knew that she was moved, and continued to say: "And mother, the daughter-in-law has already thought about it, the reasons are ready-made, it will be the second sister-in-law's birthday in a few days, and hold a birthday banquet for the second sister-in-law, Zhan'er can't help but contribute, right?" ”

Xu Guanyi and Su Zhan are friends again, and when their mother's birthday is celebrated, they will always be invited to the house for a gathering, which is not a big deal.

Old Lady Su thought about it and nodded lightly.

When Mrs. Su said that she was going to celebrate Chen's birthday, Chen was startled, and she was very honestly afraid, even if her son was now a celebrity in front of the emperor and had an unlimited future, she didn't feel that she was any different, she was still someone else's daughter-in-law, and there were elders, so she didn't dare to extravagant herself to celebrate her birthday.

Su Zhan and Su Yunlai felt that it was nothing, the Chen family had worked hard for most of their lives, and it was good to take this opportunity to be lively, and they all knew that Su Yunlai was gradually growing up, and the time at home was getting less and less, and they didn't know if she would be at home next time the Chen family had a birthday.

So Su Zhan quickly agreed, Mrs. Su was still there, and it was not easy to do it too much, but it was okay to invite a few relatives and friends over for a meal.

The first is Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhengan is still doing hard labor in the penal colony, Su Zhan also mentioned this matter to Li Sheng, but this is the will of the emperor, Li Sheng has just ascended the throne, it is not good to overturn the case for Lin Zhengan so quickly, but he still sent someone to take care of him, so that he does not have to work so hard, so although Lin Zhengan has not come back, Lin Zifeng and Lin Ziang also have an errand with the help of Su Zhan, the Lin family already has hope, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Su family is also closer.

Then there is Xu Guanyi, as soon as Xu Guanyi heard that Chen's birthday banquet was held, he said that he would definitely come to participate, when he was injured in the past, he lived in Su Mansion for a period of time, and Chen took care of him, and he wanted to congratulate him, so even if he was a man, but Chen was an elder, and it was not wrong for him to attend.

So Mrs. Su's calculation is actually not wrong.

Chen is really happy, although she is still a little scared in her heart, but seeing that her son and daughter are by her side, Su Zhan has become an official again, and her future is bright, and her daughter is beautiful and more and more excellent, she really feels the most satisfied in life.

Mrs. Fifth looked at the smile on her face and felt very dazzling, what's the big deal, isn't it just borrowing the light of her children? But then again, who wouldn't want that kind of child?

After three rounds of drinking, Chen and Mrs. Lin went to the side room to talk, although the situation of the two families has changed dramatically, but Chen's attitude towards Mrs. Lin is the same as in the past, and it is still respectful, which makes Mrs. Lin sigh for a while.

"I still have a reluctant invitation today," Mrs. Lin pulled Chen's and said: "Huixin, we are all a family, and I won't beat around the bush, I once asked Ziang to marry Ah Wan, it was a sincere heart, but the bastard boy in my family didn't know how to cherish it, and now he is also a prodigal son, can Huixin give him another chance?" ”

Chen Shi was slightly stunned and looked at her with some astonishment.

Mrs. Lin continued: "It is said that I should not open this mouth, not to say that my family is now in decline," Chen Shi heard this, and wanted to explain with an anxious face, Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "I naturally know that Huixin and the second master are good, and they will not be disgusted by the decline of our family, so I dare to be cheeky to open this mouth, and you listen to me." ”

Chen's expression was solemn: "Where is my cousin-in-law, it is originally a family." ”

Mrs. Lin said with a serious face: "Now that Ah Wan has reached the age of kissing, Zhan'er is out again, and there are many people who inquire about her marriage, and my sister-in-law actually came to the door a few days ago." At this, a mockery flashed in her eyes.

Back then, the Lin family's building collapsed overnight, and even Mrs. Lin's maiden family drew a line with her, but no one expected that the Lin family would still have a bright future, Su Zhan relied on his dragon skills, and his identity was not the same, but he didn't expect him to still think about the Lin family, and now with Su Zhan's help, the Lin family gradually began to recover, which can be said to be a miracle.

So Mrs. Lin's sister-in-law came to the door, and this time she actually wanted Mrs. Lin to kiss Su Yun.

"For my mother's nephew, my mother's nephew, is also a good one, and his talent and appearance are also outstanding, but after this change, I have seen all the things cold and warm, and they are afraid that they are also coming for Zhan'er, and now that Zhan'er has a future, there will definitely be no fewer people who inquire in the future, and there are more people like my mother's nephew, if Zhan'er has always been in a high position, he can also treat Ah Wan as his own, but this is a little less sincere." Mrs. Lin said emotionally.

"You also know, I am a person who has gone through this change, and I treat Ah Wan as my own daughter, I dare not say anything else, Ah Wan marries into our family, I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance, and I can even swear that Ziang will never take a concubine in his life, only guard her alone!" Mrs. Lin said solemnly.

Mrs. Lin said this solemnly, the Chen family was shocked, the man does not accept concubines, this promise can be said to be extremely heavy, Mrs. Lin has never made such a guarantee before, this is also after sharing the hardships, in exchange for love.

Mrs. Lin turned her head and ordered her maid, and after a while, Lin Ziang walked in, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt in front of Chen.

"My nephew used to do a lot of wrong things, but now my nephew has repented, and I just ask my aunt to give my nephew a chance to repent!" After Lin Ziang finished solemnly, he kowtowed: "I will definitely be dedicated to my cousin, cherish her, and take care of her all my life to prevent her from being wronged." ”

Lin Ziang looked at Chen with a serious face, his eyes were full of seriousness, the so-called prodigal son turned back, but so, to be honest, Chen was really moved.

If nothing else, the sentence of 'never taking a concubine' to Mrs. Lin was enough to impress her.

Chen's heart was shaken, but she still didn't let go of her consent, she knew that her daughter was an assertive person, and she wanted to ask Su Yunlai's opinion.

So even if he was satisfied with this matter, Chen still didn't let go, but said: "Ah Wan's marriage, I'm afraid I have to discuss it with her father, cousin-in-law, don't blame me." ”

The so-called good woman asks for a hundred schools, and Mrs. Lin didn't think that she would get the Su family's consent once, and she didn't feel disappointed.

"Anyway, I really like Ah Wan, and you should think more about your daughter." Mrs. Lin said.

Chen sensed her solemnity, so he smiled and nodded, but he didn't let go at all.

Therefore, this is the advantage of Chen, she is a mother who respects and values the opinions of her children, even if she is satisfied, she will listen to her children's opinions, instead of being like other elders, who feel satisfied and make decisions for their children.
