In September, the frost begins to fall, and the woman is successful, and winter clothes can be given.

After the Winter Clothes Festival, when the wind and frost gradually invaded, the breath of winter gradually thickened, His Majesty the Emperor has instructed Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple to prepare the Yuan Day Banquet, and ordered the world, since the beginning of the year, the princes and nobles can not help but play and dance, the Lantern Festival of the New Year in the coming year is also set up as usual, when the emperor and queen are on the Danfeng Gate, bring hundreds of officials and people to enjoy together, celebrate the festival together.

This is to show that except for the period of national mourning, everything will return to normal, and everyone from the monarch and the ministers to the people will no longer be subject to the funeral regulations of Emperor Mu Zong.

If calculated according to the date of Emperor Muzong's death, it is actually a full anniversary in October, but after all, there was no formal funeral at that time, which is a full half a year of the gap, in terms of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in fact, it is also a special case, out of respect for Mu Zong, the ancestor of the emperor, of course, the funeral period should be officially calculated from the day of the funeral, but it is seen that Mu Zong drafted the word "mourning", which shows that He Ye did not think much of He Er, the mediocre monarch, is not worthy of the respect of the subjects, so there is no need to calculate the mourning period according to the day of the funeral. The first Spring Festival after the new emperor's throne has been spent in mourning, and at the beginning of the second year of revival, it is indeed time to restore the weather and sing to welcome the spring.

The vast majority of courtiers have never objected, at this time, they have realized that the establishment of today's son is determined to innovate, and his temperament is extremely resolute, but he is good at using gentle means to convince people, and his style of acting does not seem to be irritable, and he has begun to show the mind of the holy monarch and the lord, and it is by no means mediocre, and it is not accidental to force the Empress Dowager Wei to give up power, and of course it will not be controlled by the courtiers, and such a gentleman must be more cautious in the game, otherwise it is very likely that he will be ruined and will not end well.

But such a monarch does have the ability to calm the disaster and create a prosperous world, and the courtiers also understand that the premise of glory and wealth is that the world is peaceful, and even the queen mother has a lot of remnants, and at this time she is more determined to see the wind and rudder - the queen mother certainly values them, and turns a blind eye to their bullying and corruption and bribery, but when the Turks invade the country, they can only follow the queen mother and flee, and the wealth accumulated over the years has been lost in half because of the war, and maybe it will end up in the end of the country being destroyed and captured, and it will fall from the top to the lowly, Family ruin and death cannot be avoided, so how can you expect prosperity and wealth?

Only with the Son of Heaven can they have meat to eat, as long as it does not harm their own interests, where can they care about whether Emperor Mu Zong is aggrieved or not, for a monarch who has died, to offend the Son of Heaven in front of him, that is stupid and stubborn.

But there are some foolish people.

These so-called orthodox factions first instigated Wang Xiangguo to come forward to admonish them, and they wept bitterly for the first emperor and were indignant, of course, the reason they said was that "the saint does not respect the first king, and he is afraid of damaging his reputation."

Wang Huaizhun had long regarded He Er as a faint monarch, and sincerely thought that when today's son chose to be peaceful instead of evil, it was enough to respect the ancestors, and of course he would not listen to the instigation at this time, so he simply retorted: "What kind of virtue can be damaged?" The ancestors of the past dynasties, the mourning period is calculated from the day of returning to the sky, the saints such as Taizong, Gaozong, and even the people can not be mourned excessively, after three months, the wedding banquet is allowed, when today's son is not the filial son of the first monarch, but for the elder brother, then the courtier's gift, the system of September has been the whole ritual law, you call it 'detrimental to the prestige', it is a big crime to slander. ”

The "orthodox faction" not only failed to achieve its goal, but was even reprimanded, and became more and more indignant, and I don't know who proposed it, but they gathered together at Feng Shilang's mansion to discuss the matter of obstruction.

Feng Jizheng has been extremely low-key during this period of time since he failed to persuade the establishment of the prince, and he didn't want to get involved in this inconsequential matter in addition to the national funeral in advance, but he couldn't fall into the spirit of the "orthodox", so he had to cry bitterly for the first emperor, and then appeased: "The saint is in a hurry to restore Sheji, where is he so decisive for fun?" The period of national mourning has not been removed, the atmosphere of the market is depressed, and the commercial market is rarely recovered. We are not the ministers of a monarch, but the ministers of a country and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we should focus on the community and people's livelihood, and we should not give up all the importance of everything. ”

In fact, the death of the monarch's father, the filial son should be mourned for three years, but since ancient times, it is inevitable to mourn and mislead the national government, often the emperor mourns for his father, and it is only 27 days, otherwise the king of a country does not ignore the government for three years, and the country is not in chaos? He Ye mourned for He Er on the 27th, in the name of the courtiers, for the monarch to mourn, 27 days after the public removal, the people have actually been able to intermarry and feast, but the princes and nobles, the official family still have to prohibit marriage music and dance, the emperor set an example, in a year is actually September, can not do the wedding banquet, but in fact, can already be a new concubine.

However, He Ye was not in a hurry to "spread the branches" to enrich the harem, in fact, he was already quite respectful to He Er, so how could he be called disrespectful to the ancestors according to the day He Er returned to heaven.

If Feng Jizheng and other orthodox factions are really careful, they are unreasonable and break the law, and if the imperial historian is impeached, the emperor can be punished for his crimes.

To say that "brother to brother", in the Great Zhou can be described as unprecedented, the "orthodox" has no precedent to follow, this stubbornly believes that today's son should still do the "filial piety" ceremony, Emperor Mu Zong's return to heaven and the funeral is half a year apart, the system should be calculated by the day of the funeral is enough to respect, they are not unreasonable, but it is against human feelings.

But the trend of the times, the righteous indignation of a few people will eventually be subdued by the majority, not to mention that among the orthodox, Feng Jizheng, who has the heaviest power, is unwilling to support it, and everyone can only die down.

There is another person who has to be careful, of course, is Emperor Mu Zong's biological mother Xiao Wei, but she is no longer the princess of Shu, as a woman of Dagui, she can only be thunderous in front of Wei Yuanping, and now even the queen mother doesn't want to see her, let alone go to the emperor and queen, as soon as she said that she was going to kneel and cry Xianjun, Wei Yuanping was even so frightened that she could only lock her in the courtyard.

And the Spring Festival palace wants to have a banquet, naturally it will also add a lot of affairs to the eleventh mother, is busy, but Binu is invited to see, is to recommend a talented person.

"So soon, someone rushed to recommend himself to Abi Maosui?" Eleven Niang teased her.

"The concubine body doesn't have this big ability, this person is Xiao Ai, Qu Xiaolang found, inquired about the details, a little contact in the early stage, Xiao Ai didn't know how talented he was, only told me that the amount of alcohol was amazing, listening to him speak, it was very like a full stomach, only six sentences could be understood in ten sentences, and three sentences could not understand what the allusion was, relying on guessing the meaning, saying that he knew how to arrange troops, but he was not good at riding and shooting, although he could not say that he had no power to restrain the chicken, but under Xiao Ai's sword, he couldn't go back and forth, so Xiao Ai couldn't figure out whether he had talent or not, was unwilling to take the liberty to recommend it to the queen, and let the concubine investigate first. ”

At this time, under the repeated requests of Eleven Niang, Bi Nu no longer called himself a slave, of course, he would not be limited by the queen's prestige, and he spoke more casually than in the past: "This person's surname is Bai, the word Shiheng, not a child of a famous family, from a poor family, but he was fortunate to be taught by a hermit, talking about the teacher, saying that he is a guest in Qingcheng, and the concubine is a lonely and unheard of, I don't know where his teacher is, but Bai Langjun's medical skills are also outstanding, and he can discuss the disease with Dong Yizheng without falling behind, and he can also do his best to diagnose and treat patients in Shantang, and the concubine has tried a few words, he was able to say a word to break through the saint's use of troops against Tubo, the intention was really to cultivate peace, and the concubine thought that Bailang Jun Xu was really talented, and saw that he was virtuous and upright, so he specially recommended it to the queen today. ”

"Qingcheng residents, I've heard a little." Eleven Niang's head: "Yao Qian has a military division under him, which was recommended by the King of Shu, with this person planning and deployment, Yao Qian was once able to stick to Ganzhou without losing, this person is also a student of Qingcheng." ”

"Bai Langjun also said that the Holy Lord's reconciliation with Tubo must be intended to destroy the Turks again, and as long as the Tubo is subdued, the Turks can also gain insight into the meaning of the Holy Lord, even if Ashina Qisang is seriously injured, he will definitely not be restrained, and Bai Langjun admonished the Holy Lord to pay attention to the Turks, move his army to Shengzhou, and pose a threat to Yunzhou."

"I don't know how to march and set up, but I will tell the saint, the saint can't wait for next spring, and plans to open the system before the year, the monarchy is in the process of employing people, whether it is a family or a poor family, or even a ranger, a hermit, regardless of background, anyone who has talent is properly recommended." Eleven Niang also encouraged Binu to discover the awareness of active recommendation of talents.

"The saint ordered Xiao Ai to let her not forget to recommend her talents to the queen, Xiao Ai has been in the latest period, but her eyes have widened and she is only busy with this matter, and she can't even take care of her own marriage, fortunately, Hu Niang is in charge of it for her, but Hu Niang is not good at female popularity, and there are many Nizhen Embroidery Workshop Qiao Niang to cut and embroider wedding dresses for her." Binu was full of smiles: "The concubine looks at Xiao Ai's strength, and I am afraid that she will recommend a lot of capable people in the future." ”

Eleven Niang didn't know that He Ye had assigned this task to Ai Lu, and after thinking about it, she smiled and said: "Shengshang is teasing the girl, if a talented person can rely on her to open her eyes, she can catch a lot, and Da Zhou doesn't have to worry about being strong and prosperous, but how many people are climbing, I heard that you and Ai Lu have this authority, I am afraid that they will swarm up in the future, Ah Bi is steady, I am not worried, you remind Ai Lu not to be deceived by those flattering and powerful people." ”

But he affirmed: "This Bai Shiheng, I still have some ability, if you can really be appointed to the saint, you and Xiao Ai are also considered to be victorious, I think the saint at this time, compared to the talent of governance, more need of military talents, although Bai Shiheng is not good at riding and shooting, but if he is proficient in the art of war, it is more rare than the commander of the soldiers." ”

After finishing the matter, Binu hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth: "The queen still remembers Tingjie and Roujie?" ”

"Didn't they serve Tong'an, what's wrong?"

Princess Tong'an wanted to marry her two soldiers, but both of them were reluctant, begging the princess to no avail, so they had to ask the concubine to change their wishes...... Tingjie and her cousin childhood sweethearts, the two made an oath when they were young, Tingjie did not want to marry someone else, but Roujie, is determined to be celibate, and also knows that she will not be able to enter the palace to serve the queen in the future. ”

Eleven Niang was surprised: "They are in the palace, how can they ask to come to you?" ”

"The second maid is no longer in the palace, since the saint gave the princess mansion, the second maid has been left in the princess's mansion." Binu was even more surprised than Eleven Niang: "The queen doesn't know anything? ”
