Chapter 13 Give you a chance, don't you cherish it?
Forbidden City, Qingning Palace.
"Empress Dowager Qiqi, Your Majesty has already gone to Fengtian Palace!" The eunuch who was in charge of paying attention to Zhu Youji's movements came back to tell him, and said with a very excited look.
Sitting in the main seat is the Empress Dowager Zhou, but now she has been promoted to the Empress Dowager.
Although his son Zhu Jianshen has passed away, his grandson Zhu Youzhi took over, and his status has risen instead of falling, especially this grandson has been raised by himself.
"Imperial grandmother, people are just a little petty, I didn't expect Your Majesty to be really angry!" Zhang Yujiao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked aggrieved.
Empress Dowager Zhou turned her head to look at this granddaughter-in-law who she had personally selected, and said gently: "It's normal for the little couple to quarrel and make trouble, but this man also has to coax!" ”
"I've always let Your Majesty, this time Your Majesty was unreasonable, and he avoided me yesterday!" Zhang Yujiao has always pretended to be a lady, and she looks pitiful at this time.
When the Empress Dowager Zhou chose the crown princess, she had already found Zhang Yujiao's temperament clearly, but she chose to expose the lie and said: "The mourning family has heard that you let the prince sleep in the study for several days!" ”
"I ...... My monthly letter is here! Zhang Yujiao didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zhou had eyeliner in the Prince's Mansion, so she lied casually.
Empress Dowager Zhou has always been the protagonist of the harem battle, and she has already seen through Zhang Yujiao at a glance, but Zhang Yujiao's ability to suppress Zhu Youji is undoubtedly more in her own interests, so she nodded lightly and said: "When Your Majesty comes, I will help you tell Your Majesty that there is no overnight feud between husband and wife!" ”
"Thank you, Grandmother!" Zhang Yujiao was secretly happy in her heart, and even if she turned sad into joy.
Since the last Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know which link went wrong, and Zhu Youji, who was originally controlled by himself, seems to have changed as if he is a different person.
Earlier, she could still send soup condolences, but two days ago, she began to withdraw people, and drove those eunuchs and palace maids who were facing her directly out of the Qianqing Palace.
However, she knew that Zhu Youzhu was brought up by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and Zhu Youzhu listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou the most, and now with the help of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she pressured him, believing that everything would return to the beginning.
At an auspicious time, the bells and drums of the Forbidden City's noon tower echo in this red-walled and glazed tile palace complex.
The two thick doors opened at the same time, and the two royal forest soldiers holding halberds ran out of the palace gate neatly, standing on the side of the palace road with a murderous aura on their bodies.
"Hundred officials are in!"
As soon as the bell and drum beat in the noon tower stopped, a eunuch immediately sang loudly.
Wan An, the first assistant of the cabinet, led the civil officials to enter through the left door, and the British prince Zhang Mao led the nobles and military generals to enter through the right door.
Now it's a familiar process for the DPRK on weekdays! When they arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, all the officials stopped to tidy up their appearances, then walked across the Jinshui Bridge, and finally all stopped in front of the Fengtian Gate.
When the deacon of Honglu Temple saw movement in front of the Fengtian Temple, he immediately said loudly: "Kneel!" ”
"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the civil and military officials present saluted one after another, shouting like a tsunami.
Zhu Youji, who was wearing a crown robe, came to the incense case where the wine and meat were placed, and had already noticed that the more than 3,000 civil and military officials kneeling below were following the process to tell heaven and earth in front of the largest palace, and performed five bows and three bows.
Zhu Youzhu ignored the civil and military officials who watched the ceremony, and after offering sacrifices to heaven and earth here, he went to Fengtian Temple to tell the ancestors, exempted from a few feasts, and then went to meet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
Today, there are constantly eunuchs who have passed Zhu Youji's itinerary, and when Zhu Youzhu just entered the courtyard gate, the hall inside was already ready.
"Grandson to meet the imperial grandmother!" Zhu Youzhu knew that the old woman in front of him, who was nearly sixty years old, was quite skillful, so he maintained his usual gentle image and saluted.
The Empress Dowager Zhou watched her grandson succeed to the throne smoothly, and smiled like a spring breeze: "Hurry up, let the imperial grandmother take a good look at you, like your father, you have the heroic appearance of an emperor!" ”
Zhu Youzhu stood up from the ground and noticed Zhang Yujiao standing next to him.
Zhang Yujiao also dressed up carefully today, and she always pretended to be a virtuous image in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she saluted and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes swept away, and immediately said peacefully for Zhang Yujiao: "Your Majesty, the two of you have made a mess with the imperial grandmother, for the sake of the imperial grandmother's face, how about you rebuild your friendship?" ”
When Zhang Yujiao heard this, even though she looked quite aggrieved, it seemed that she was indeed a victim.
"Okay, then admit your mistake to me!" Zhu Youzhu knew that it was not appropriate to be too ruthless, so he said lightly.
Zhang Yujiao's eyes widened, pointing at her pretty nose in disbelief, she never thought that this man who was obedient to her would ask her to admit her mistake in public.
Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Zhu Youzhu in surprise, but still stood on her grandson's side and said, "Jiao'er, pour tea for Your Majesty and admit your mistake!" ”
"Ben Tai...... I'm not wrong! Zhang Yujiao is an arrogant person, and she thinks that she will eat this man to death, so she refuses in her temper.
"Imperial grandmother, the enthronement ceremony is not over yet, the grandson will retire first, and come to greet the imperial grandmother at night!" Zhu Youzhu knew that this woman still wanted to control herself, so she even saluted the Empress Dowager Zhou.
The Empress Dowager Zhou knew that the top priority was to hold the enthronement ceremony smoothly, so she nodded lightly and agreed: "Okay, Your Majesty, you go and get busy first!" ”
"Grandson farewell!" Zhu Youjiao had already given Zhang Yujiao a chance, so he turned around and left without looking at Zhang Yujiao.
Zhang Yujiao's grievance just now was a disguise, but when she saw that the man who once licked his toes asked him to admit his mistake, his eyes were more angry at this time.
Even if this man is His Majesty today, he still wants to step on this man and step into the mud fiercely, so that he can continue to surrender under his pomegranate skirt.
The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Zhu Youzhu who was leaving, but she felt more clearly that Zhu Youzhu seemed to be a different person, and her brows couldn't help frowning tightly.
Is this still the silly white sweet that he cultivated? Is it still the obedient grandson who obeys his word? Or is it really like in a dream that he has been pretending to be like in a dream, and after becoming the emperor, he has to settle accounts with himself?
A white-headed and yellow-billed eagle appeared in the sky above the Forbidden City, looking out for a bird's-eye view of the splendid Forbidden City. It's just that with the spread of wings, the entire city of Beijing has become small, and it is no longer bound by this world.
Zhu Youzhu is now like a sharp knife out of the sheath, but the harem is not the most urgent problem to solve, and now the most tricky thing is still the group of cultured hooligans.
Leaving from Qingning Palace, I immediately went to Renshou Palace non-stop.
Emperor Chenghua's queen was not favored, even if Emperor Chenghua left so many heirs, but none of them were born to Queen Wang.
Although the queen mother has earned the title of the queen mother, now that the harem has the queen mother of Zhou in charge, there will soon be a queen in charge of the harem, and she, the queen mother, has been reduced to a marginal figure.
The Queen Mother is nearly forty years old, and because she has no birth and is well maintained, she is still a beautiful woman. is just married in the emperor's family, and she will be widowed for the rest of her life.
"The Queen Mother, please live here with peace of mind, and her sons will definitely fulfill their filial piety in the future!" Zhu Youzhu hoped that the harem could get along in harmony, and even said that he would say it.
The Queen Mother withdrew some irrelevant personnel, and then expressed her goodwill: "Your Majesty, the mourning family has a nephew who serves in the Beizhen Fusi, and he said that the Beizhen Fusi suddenly monitored the ministers in the capital recently, I don't know if this is Your Majesty's secret order?" ”
"I remember that the queen mother's nephews who served in the Fusi of Beizhen were called Wang Lan and Wang Xiang, but I don't know which one it is?" Zhu Youji's heart moved slightly, but he didn't answer positively.
Although Jinyiwei is the emperor's bodyguard, it is filled with too many relatives and children of civil officials, such as the children of the Empress Dowager Zhou's mother's family who hold important positions in Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei is constantly infiltrated by the children of civil officials, and now it has already deteriorated, otherwise Emperor Chenghua would not have reused the East Factory and established the West Factory.
The Queen Mother realized that Her Majesty in front of her was not stupid, so she smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty has a good memory, this matter was told by Wang Lan, and he served as a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi. ”
"Queen Mother, if Wang Lan enters the palace, please let him go to the Qianqing Palace, I have something to inquire!" Zhu Youzhi naturally still wants to regain control of Jinyiwei, and it seems that he has something to say.
The queen mother has nothing else to ask for, and she can't fight anymore, and now she just hopes that her mother's family will live better, so she naturally agrees.
When Zhu Youzhu had just left, she should even start arranging for Wang Lan to enter the palace in the name of visiting her.
