The tenth day of August.

It is the birthday of the new emperor, which belongs to the Qianqiu Festival of the Jiajing Dynasty, and the minister has to offer gifts as usual.

This is in the pacification of King Ning's rebellion, and the death of Emperor Zhengde, the first Qianqiu Festival after the new emperor ascended the throne, the court paid more attention to it, especially the feudal lords around the country, regarded this as a manifestation of loyalty to the new emperor, and treated it with all the spirit.

In fact, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the feudal lords of various places have come to the table to celebrate, but not everyone is convinced of this little emperor.

After all, Zhu Si is from the side branch of the royal family, why is he so lucky to be the emperor, but we can't?

There are a lot of gifts sent from all over the country, and some gifts that want to tie up the new emperor are naturally more expensive, and these gifts do not need to be prepared at the imperial court, but will be sent directly to the palace, and sent to the inner government after the emperor has seen them.

On the new emperor's birthday.

The ministers congratulated him on his birthday, and Zhu Si was still giving a banquet in the Wenhua Hall at noon.

The banquet was divided into two classes.

The first class was attended by senior ministers, several elders, six ministers and nine secretaries, servants of various ministries and all ministers, Hanlin scholars, etc.

After this class is finished, the second class will come again.

This time, it was a middle-level official in Beijing.

Zhu Hao, as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, although the official quality is low, but the future achievements will be very high, and he is also invited, and he finally set foot in the palace for the first time after becoming an official, and had a beautiful meal with his colleagues.

The Hanlin Academy is led by Yang Shen, after all, the Hanlin Bachelor, the Attendant Bachelor, and the Attendant Bachelor have all finished their meals.

"Yongxiu, I heard that you are about to be promoted to a waiter, so I will congratulate you here first."

At the same time, there are six departments in Jinglangzhong, Yuanwailang, the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, the General Political Envoy and the Shaoqing of the Temple, etc., although Yang Shen has been in the examination for a long time, but because he has not been in the court for a long time, he has not been promoted from the position of revision, and many colleagues have been officials in the court for ten years, and have been promoted after nine years of examination.

Yang Shen's prestige among middle-level officials was very high, of course, mainly relying on his father Yang Tinghe's prestige in the court. Zhu Hao was courteous to Yang Shen, and sat at a table with him, and many people came to toast and greet Yang Shen, and at the same time, they saluted Zhu Hao and introduced each other to each other.

Half of the time of a meal, Yang Shen was dealing with people.

After the feast is over, you must bring back what you have not eaten.

It seems that the banquet is not very rich, but it is always something made by the imperial dining room of the palace, and the people can't buy it if they want to, and this kind of food is more of an honor, and it is more of an honor to take it home so that the family can feel the emperor's grace and taste the craftsmanship of the imperial chef by the way.

"Zhu Hao, during the banquet today, you have very few words."

On the way back to Hanlin Academy, Yang Shen mentioned a sentence.

Zhu Hao smiled, not knowing what to say.

I just entered the court, I took the top exam at the age of fourteen, and most people are not convinced by my talent, what do you want me to tell them?

Someone came to say hello, and it was good for me to pay a few more courtesies, even if I wanted to talk to them more, I had to divide the time and occasion.

Yu Chengxun hurried a few steps to catch up with the two of them and asked, "Have you noticed, there don't seem to be many people here today?"

Yang Shen glanced at him, "You mean the palace people?"

"Yes."

Yu Chengxun said, "When the emperor was the emperor, whenever there was a banquet, there would always be palace people to show up to reflect His Majesty's grace, and there were also links such as toasting to His Majesty from afar...... It's not very formal, and I always feel a little shabby."

Yang Shen said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, he has always advocated diligence and thrift, and so far the new emperor has had disputes with the ministers on the construction of the Xingxian Emperor Temple and the rebuilding of the Xingwang Palace, and even the Qingning Palace where the Queen Mother lives does not plan to repair."

Empress Dowager Jiang entered the palace and officially determined the current pattern of coexistence of the two empress dowagers.

Empress Dowager Zhang lives in Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang lives in Qingning Palace, in terms of status, naturally to Empress Dowager Zhang as respect, Empress Dowager Jiang also went to visit Empress Dowager Zhang after entering the palace, was treated coldly, for which Zhu Si held a grudge.

Yu Chengxun seemed to know something, and did not shy away from Zhu Hao, and said with a smile: "But I don't know if Your Majesty insists on adding a title to the Queen Mother, how should I avoid it?"

Yang Shen mentioned Qingning Palace, and Yu Chengxun took the opportunity to raise the issue of Empress Dowager Jiang's title.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

In history, the first thing Zhu Si insisted on after his mother entered the palace was to add the word "emperor" to the titles of his father and mother to reflect that they were equal to Xiaozong and Empress Dowager Zhang, so that he no longer had to worry about inheriting to someone else's name, and the statement that he would not succeed to the throne could be established.

Unexpectedly, in the first month of the first year of Jiajing, the small room behind the Qingning Palace caught fire.

On this ground, the ministers thought that Zhu Si had angered God in the matter of sealing his parents, and it was a punishment from God.

Originally, Zhu Houxi's attitude was so tough that he couldn't be more serious, and he was very frightened when the fire broke out, and Empress Dowager Jiang also felt that her son's throne was too easy to get, since it was a gift from God, it was best not to go against the sky, so she advised her son.

In this case, Zhu Houxi had to temporarily put aside the matter of adding the title of emperor to his parents, and officially took Emperor Xiaozong as the imperial examination.

In this round of the Great Rites Debate, the civil officials can be said to have won a complete victory.

Zhu Hao, as a descendant, will naturally consider the impact of an incident on people, although history does not clearly state whether this fire was purely an accident or arson, but an inexplicable fire broke out at a critical point in time, resolving a crisis of monarchs and ministers.

If the fire is man-made, then who is the arsonist or the instigator?

Just think about who is in the best interest of this matter, and you will know who put it.

With Zhu Si's character, will he use his own way of setting fire to resolve the suspicion between the monarch and the minister? He is the emperor, but he will not do such a loss, then there is only one explanation, this fire must be related to Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe.

Knowing this, Zhu Hao felt that Zhu Si's attitude in some things was too resolute now, and someone might take a risk and advance this fire.

……

……

That night, Zhu Si came out of the palace, and Zhu Hao discussed with him about the title of Emperor Xingxian and the title of Emperor Xingxian.

Zhu Si's attitude was extremely resolute.

"I'm not going to compromise with the ministers on this matter. Zhu Hao, don't you know, I took the queen mother into the palace, and I was kind enough to take the queen mother to see the woman, but the woman gave the queen mother a look, I didn't want to mention this matter to outsiders, but that woman actually asked me to kneel for her! If it weren't for the fact that I saw the queen mother beside me...... It's infuriating!"

Zhu Si didn't mention this stubble before.

It's just that Empress Dowager Jiang entered the palace and was snubbed by Empress Dowager Zhang.

Now he even told Zhu Hao about these secrets, paying attention to how much he trusted Zhu Hao.

At this time, Zhu Hao and Zhu Si were talking alone, and even Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin were not around, so Zhu Hao had nothing to worry about and spoke out about his worries.

"In the matter of taking the Queen Mother into the palace before, Wenchen obviously suffered a loss, and I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhang will also feel unwilling." In order to take care of Zhu Si's state of mind, Zhu Hao mentioned that Empress Dowager Zhang could neither be called the Empress Dowager, nor could she say what kind of Empress Dowager was in the main palace, so she could only be called by her surname.

Sure enough, Zhu Hao said so, and Zhu Si's face looked much better.

Zhu Si smiled and said, "You have a plan again, right? Say it quickly."

Zhu Hao said: "It's not that I have a plan, but I think that our opponent will make a move...... Your Majesty is now resolute in the matter of giving the title to the Queen Mother, as if it was the same method used to deal with Wenchen before, how does Your Majesty think they should stop Your Majesty?"

Zhu Siyi listened, does this still make me think?

If I'm a good brain, I don't need you to give me advice, okay?

"Zhu Hao, aren't you embarrassing me? Where do I know what they will do...... Tell me, you're really in a hurry." Zhu Sidao.

Only then did Zhu Hao tell the possibility that the opponent might set fire to the Qingning Palace.

Zhu Si was extremely surprised: "Wouldn't it? They have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and they dare to mess around like this?"

Zhu Hao said: "Hope is my villain's heart, but I'm afraid...... The palace, especially the harem, is still the Empress Dowager Zhang, there are many concubines in the former dynasties of the harem, and most of the palace people are left by the first two dynasties.

"Then Your Majesty's accession to the throne has harmed the interests of many stubborn forces in the palace, they have relied on the prestige of the Empress Dowager Zhang, as the lord of the six palaces for more than 30 years, the Empress Dowager Zhang has a wide range of power in the palace, and some of her supporters may make moves that damage Your Majesty in order to make meritorious contributions."

Zhu Si nodded, he heard the most crucial one in Zhu Hao's words.

That is, if your arrival harms the interests of others, others will definitely find a way to retaliate.

Zhu Hao continued: "But as far as I expected, most of them didn't dare to attack His Royal Highness in Qingning Palace, and most of the targets were the side hall or the back room, so Your Majesty had better arrange for people to keep an eye on them, and all of them should find people from the Xingwang Mansion, don't startle the snake, if you are unfortunate enough to be said by me, immediately find Xiao Jing to come forward, let him testify, and bring the evil people to the surface to intimidate the courtiers."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "Zhu Hao, this can't be what you know about the Heavenly Opportunity again, right?"

"Your Majesty, don't laugh, if the minister had that ability, he would have soared to become an immortal a long time ago, and he still needs to spend all his energy here?" Zhu Hao said angrily.

Zhu Si still laughed.

Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty's birthday today, it is better to return to the palace early and reunite with your family."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "No need, my family has already congratulated me on my birthday at noon...... Oh yes, the second group of people from Xingwangfu has arrived in the capital, and Lu Bing is also here, let him go to you in two days."

Zhu Hao suddenly remembered that there was another Lu Bing who would shine in the next few decades, and he hadn't mixed up yet.

After all, Lu Bing is only eleven years old, and no one takes him seriously, only Zhu Si thinks that this is a childhood playmate or a nurse's child, so he pays more attention to it.

Now Lu Bing's mother Fan Niang lives outside the palace, but she can pass through the inner courtyard of the palace, and Lu Bing often followed his mother to the palace to play in history, and the relationship with Zhu Houxi became more and more intimate.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Zhu Si happily took Zhu Hao out and asked someone to prepare a hot pot.

Birthday celebration outside the palace.

Zhu Si eats two big meals a day, as if he is not satisfied with the delicacies in the palace, he only likes these folk delicacies outside the palace prepared by Zhu Hao for him.
