Chapter 224

If it was said that there was the third child who was blocking the way to the Mobei land before, they were relieved and even secretly rejoiced, then when they heard the emperor announce the audience of the ministers, the fifth and sixth were really surprised. [No pop-ups. 】

It is necessary to know that although the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy have no real power, they are only responsible for repairing books and writing history on weekdays, and the most beautiful thing is to become a prince or serve as an examiner for the imperial examination. It seems to be a noble status, but in fact it is not valued.

There is another point that the scholars of the Hanlin Academy can also be responsible for drafting the edict, especially the edict of the prince of the prince, and the head of the Hanlin Academy must be present. And Song Lian is obviously the one who ghostwrote the drafting.

In the end, the five princes of the "father" have been operating in the court for many years, and they have some foundation and some scheming. Seeing that the emperor had summoned these people, he instinctively told himself that he had to change his father's words. However, there was no advisor around him to give advice, and there was no one to talk to, so in a hurry, he hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him.

But he didn't want the emperor to give him a chance at all, so his face sank, he slowly turned the emperor seal ring in his hand, and sneered: "The fifth child is not small, and now it is time to choose the princess in the house. The sixth child introspected himself in the imperial mausoleum a few days ago, and now that he has returned to Beijing, he has been grounded in the mansion since today to copy some filial piety scriptures, and it is not in vain that he has worked hard. ”

This remark is not light or serious, it is nothing, but it is really nothing. But it was born in the ears of the fifth prince and the sixth prince, and the two of them were shocked in their hearts.

Generally, the prince chooses the concubine, and most of them are married by the emperor. And even if it is not the daughter of a powerful minister in the heart of the emperor, it will never be the daughter of the Taichang Siqing family who has no real power. To put it mildly, the daughter of a mere third-grade official is really nothing in the eyes of the prince and grandson. And the concubine is only the daughter of the third grade, so what status can the side concubine and the prince/pet/concubine have?

What's more, it's just that the queen helps to take a look, which means that the emperor has no intention of giving marriage

And the six princes are even more anxious, the imperial mausoleum's self-examination is already a stain, and he will still be grounded when he returns to the capital. Although he just copied the Book of Filial Piety, the emperor did not give a deadline, but he was afraid that it would be far away if he came out again.

Thinking of this, both of them were a little remorseful, why did they hesitate just now? But when I thought about it, if the third child died in Mobei, or if there was something unexpected for the father during this period, wouldn't the two of them fight in the capital?

Anyway, with the arrival of Prime Minister Song Lian and others. The emperor said coldly: "On the pen and ink, Song Lian ghostwrote, and the prime minister listened to it for the time being as a witness." ”

Zhang Lai, who was waiting on the side, heard the words, and hurriedly took the pen and ink, and naturally, there was also a blank holy decree. The people knelt on their knees and listened.

"Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the Yuhuan District, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders. I have been working hard all night. Look up to the ancestors and entrust them to the fullest. Now the prince of the audience, the only third son is virtuous and valuable, and the Japanese table is heroic and talented. Today, he is the crown prince and is in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas. I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. ”

Seeing that the emperor opened his mouth to establish a prince, although all the ministers were surprised, they all felt reasonable. The emperors of the past dynasties were the foundation of stabilizing the country, and most of them would have established the prince early, but they did the opposite now, and they had no prince in the court because of the endless disputes over the establishment of the prince. And now, seeing that the matter of the prince has been decided, you naturally bow down and obey the orders and dare not disobey.

In fact, when they saw the three princes, they also had some premonitions, and when they heard that it was His Royal Highness King Rui, the third prince, who was on the throne, a few of them were not much surprised. It is really His Royal Highness King Rui, who is noble and modest, and is the choice of a benevolent monarch.

On the other hand, the five princes and the six princes, although they are kind on the face, their methods are ruthless and their hearts are narrow, so they are really not the choice of benevolent monarchs.

When the will of the prince was sent out of the palace gate, several adults present learned that the prince of the East Palace, who had just been established, was about to go to the land of Mobei in a blink of an eye. This is dangerous, I don't know when I will return, and I don't know what the future holds.

After the departure of several ministers, the emperor made several decrees, all of which paved the way for His Royal Highness King Rui. Of course, he also ordered Zhang Manchu and his entourage to be casual, and they could act cheaply when they arrived in Mobei, and even gave Danshu iron coupons and other things, just waiting for Mobei to take over military and political affairs as soon as possible.

Not to mention how the situation changes in the court, and how the camp on the outskirts of Beijing deploys troops, just waiting for the Duke of Huguo and others to come forward and order troops to leave Beijing. Speaking of the Protector's Mansion, it is lively at the moment, and it has not been affected by the increasingly tense situation outside.

Originally, the birthday banquet was scheduled for noon, but Zhang Manchu never returned, and it was thanks to Lin Baozhu's proper preparation in advance, but he didn't let the eldest girl lose face. Originally, although many shops in the capital also included Zhang Ji's food, there were not many tricks, and Lin Baozhu made a lot of snacks with his own hands in order to make the eldest girl happy, and took some rose vinegar out to entertain the nobles.

After a busy day, her own man still did not come out of the palace, which made her heart unable to sit still.

After noon, Lin Baozhu sent someone to wait for the eldest girl and the girl to go to the back garden for a small gathering, and then went back to the house to wait. The eldest girl also knew that her mother was not happy with her own children in recent days, and she would always be tired, so she naturally cared for a while, and then took someone to the back garden with worry.

"Xiangming, you send someone to the gate of the palace to look for Huang Li, and see if there is anything delayed by the master." Lin Baozhu picked up the tea, but couldn't drink it in one gulp, so he had to sigh and put down the teacup for a while, and then ordered anxiously and worriedly.

Xu saw that Mrs. was too worried, and Chunxi and Xiuli were relieved again and again. It's just that as time passed, the little guy who was sent to look for it came back and reported that there was no trace of the master, which made Chunxi a little anxious.

"Madam, maybe a colleague invited the master to dinner, or there was a stumbling leg in the conversation, don't worry. What a skill the master is, there will definitely be no accident. Dongmei saw that her wife was pacing back and forth, and she was uneasy, so she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her.

In fact, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, after all, the master had never returned for such a long time without saying hello. In the past, even if someone stumbled, the lord would send Huang Li or the sixth brother of the guard to return to the house first, so as not to worry about the lady.

And now, not only is there no news, but there is no news inside the palace gate. Even if they wanted to inquire, they were powerless.

Lin Baozhu naturally thought of this, but she thought more far-reaching. After the court meeting, he was deliberately left, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and then there was no news for a long time, and he was afraid that his own man would be taken for something.

She was worried, but she couldn't speak out. In the end, I could only sit for a while, then walked outside the door to take a look, and walked from outside the door to the front yard, and then calmed down a little.

With a long breath, she pursed her lips and turned back into the house without saying a word. The people in the house, except for the ones she personally purchased, the rest were stuffed in from the palace or others, even if her own man didn't say it directly, but she also knew that it was all eyeliner. And if you are so restless, you are afraid that you will fall into the eyes of others and cause trouble.

You must know that since she entered the capital, she has seen a lot, and she has been mentioned many times in the clerk's words, and she finally understands that the capital is not as complicated as she thinks. Even if it's treacherous, it's not an exaggeration. If you make a wrong step, I am afraid that you will be crushed.

This is why, when the beauty tea was sent to the chrysanthemum banquet, she was so cautious with the clerk.

Zhang Manchu returned in a hurry after Shenshi, and when he saw his daughter-in-law's eyes full of anxiety and did not take a break, he felt a trace of distress in his heart. When he just left the palace, he heard Huang Li say that his wife had asked someone to ask, and he knew that he was afraid that he had been delayed for a long time, which made his daughter-in-law feel uneasy.

Seeing Zhang Manchu come back, Lin Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that he looked fine, and his behavior and walking were not unusual, not like he had been attacked or punished. She was slightly relieved.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm fine, but I was left by the emperor to discuss the use of troops in Mobei." Zhang Manchu smiled and let his daughter-in-law check her body, and then when her daughter-in-law was relieved, she cheekily leaned in and kissed her. "I'll go change my clothes first, you don't know, this outfit looks good, but it's actually very breath-holding, and it's itchy all over."

Because the official uniforms of the previous dynasty are different from the armor, which are not only heavy but also very heavy, Rao is wearing a soft undershirt specially made by his daughter-in-law, and he can't stand the uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable if he is not used to wearing it.

Seeing that man learning from the sixth son's clever and obedient appearance, Lin Baozhu couldn't help rolling his eyes, then poked his chest and pouted: "Okay, hurry up and change your clothes, and you can return it to the eldest girl to celebrate her birthday later." ”

waited until Zhang Manho responded, and then beckoned someone to come in and change the wash. Lin Baozhu raised his hand and asked Dongmei, who was waiting outside, to go to the kitchen to find some simple food and send it over, just listened to the meaning of his own man, and several people have been discussing it until now, and he has not touched a drop of water.

I changed into comfortable clothes and came out, but I saw my daughter-in-law sitting on the soft couch by the window eating tea with a smile, and on the small table in front of me were a few exquisite side dishes, as well as a bowl of boiled orange rice porridge.

"Daughter-in-law, you're so nice." Outside, he is used to a black-faced man with a cold face and a solemn expression, and at this time he will be opposite his daughter-in-law, hook his mouth and say, "It's really uncomfortable to be hungry all day." ”

In fact, Zhang Manchu was hungry, but in fact, he didn't have much heart to eat. Even if he was already hungry, he was still a little absent-minded. pulled the food in his mouth, and said words to please his daughter-in-law again and again, but he didn't want to be glared at by Lin Baozhu in the end.
