Chapter 239: Canonization of the Crown Prince
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if it was a festive festival for family reunion, Taifu Zhou Minqing could not help but fold his son to invite the emperor's eldest son out of the pavilion to study, and he had the posture to spend with Emperor Jingfeng to the end. The fold was sent back, and just when he thought that Emperor Jingfeng was going to be perfunctory as always, he saw a striking Zhu Pi big character falling on it: Yun.
Zhou Minqing's nerves were shocked, lest he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and found that it was indeed the word "Yun". He still couldn't believe it, and asked several ministers who also let the emperor's eldest son study, and they all got the same answer: Emperor Jingfeng approved.
The ministers led by Zhou Minqing and Emperor Jingfeng have been playing and fighting for several months, and now they haven't done anything, and Emperor Jingfeng actually agreed. This surprise came too suddenly, it was difficult for Zhou Minqing, an old man in his sixties, to be so excited that he burst into tears, if it wasn't for the New Year's holiday, he would have to go to the palace to find Emperor Jingfeng for verification on the spot.
Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, and the next day at the Zhengdan court meeting, Emperor Jingfeng officially issued an edict in front of hundreds of civil and military officials: Li Jinze, the eldest son of the emperor, was the crown prince, and he was in the East Palace, and ordered him to study in the Wenhua Hall after the Spring Festival.
The courtiers have made too much effort for the emperor's eldest son to study, and they are always blocked back by Emperor Jingfeng, and once they get their wish, everyone rejoices and wants to dance on the top of the hall. For a time, political enemies and opponents treated each other as if they were close friends, and the DPRK and China showed an unprecedented harmony.
While everyone was happy, they couldn't help but wonder - Emperor Jingfeng's attitude had been ambiguous before, whether it was the collective advice of the ministers or Jia Daoheng's risky advice, he had never made up his mind to let the emperor's eldest son study, why did he suddenly change his mind for no reason, could it be that he was enlightened?
"Enlightener" Gu Yunji vaguely understood the reason behind this, but he only smiled slightly, and everyone guessed.
The weather is warmer, the snow and ice are melting, and it's February. On a mild and bright spring day, Gu Mingxuan's wife, the county lord of Yonghe, gave birth to a daughter for him, and the king of Yanping County invited the upstart lord of Beijing to hold a full moon banquet for his granddaughter.
The little doll was born white and pure, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Gu Mingxuan, which was very cute. Gu Yunji was so young that he had the preferences of a middle-aged person, and he was crowded around his niece with many elders, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
Cheng Yan joked with a smile: "You will be a father yourself in a few months, why is it that other people's children are becoming more and more rare?" β
Gu Yunji reluctantly retracted his gaze and said: "It's because I'm about to become a father, so it's easier to empathize with cousin Mingxuan, as soon as I see this kind of newborn child, I can't help but think about what my own child will be like, I want to look at it twice." β
Xu Shuhua is now seven months pregnant, Gu Yunji watched his wife's belly grow bigger day by day, and he was looking forward to and apprehension about the coming new life, dreaming of a little doll carved in pink and jade calling him father, Xu Shuhua teased him for a long time after he found out.
Cheng Yan smiled: "You are too nervous, but first-time parents are like this, just relax, and when you have the second and third time, you will slowly get used to it." β
"Listen to what you mean, how do you feel like you're more experienced than me?" Gu Yunji turned his head to look at him, his eyes narrowed, "I'm embarrassed to say, I'm going to be a father, you are still a bare-bones man, you are not in a hurry?" β
Cheng Yan Youzai: "What's the hurry?" Are you in a hurry to get married, or are you in a hurry to have a baby? You urge me so much, if I come back with a child and call you uncle another day, do you think you can laugh? β
Cheng Yan has always been silent and silent, but he is surprisingly sharp on this topic, Gu Yunji was choked by him, and laughed dryly: "It's not for you to do it in one step, you have to go step by step." Before giving birth, there is still marriage, and before marriage, there is still a relationship and looking at each other, you can take your time. β
"You've been alone for a long time, and now that you see that my family is complete, don't you have a little envy in your heart, don't you want to be like me?" Gu Yunji followed the temptation, trying to understand it with reason and emotion, "Why don't you wait for my child to be born, recognize you as a godfather, and let you live a little bit of being a father in advance?" β
Cheng Yan waved his hand again and again: "Forget it, Su Qi has already written several letters back, saying that he wants to be your child's godfather, and I won't rob him of his work." Besides, if I still have some expectations for marriage, I really don't have any ideas about children. The child is noisy, I can't take care of it myself, and I have to take care of him, which is really troublesome. β
After the death of Cheng Yan's mother and eldest brother, the family property was divided up by his uncle and relatives, and the hypocrisy of the other party when he went to fight for the property still disgusted him in retrospect. Since then, he has been very weak in family affection, and it is very natural for officialdom to greet friends and friends, but he is very alienated from his relatives in his hometown, and he doesn't want to see any of them.
Gu Yunji knew Cheng Yan's this, but he didn't expect that he didn't even want children now, and frowned slightly: "You don't want children, but your future wife may not want children, do you think you are sure that you can convince her?" β
"I'm not sure, so I just found a woman who didn't want to have children as a wife from the beginning." Cheng Yan's tone was careless, not knowing whether he was sincere or casually, "The world is so big, what if you can really find it?" β
In this era of extremely heavy inheritance of heirs, Cheng Yan's idea can no longer be called maverick, it is simply shocking and contrary to common sense. I'm afraid that some people will think that he doesn't want children, but that he can't give birth because of physical problems, so he "can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour".
Regardless of whether Cheng Yan really doesn't want children, if he can say this, it means that he already has a similar psychological tendency, which is a bad signal. Gu Yunji almost wondered if he had been lonely for a long time and had something wrong with his psychology, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only be silent worriedly.
Seeing Gu Yunji's sad face, Cheng Yan teased: "What are you worried about? At least I'm still willing to marry a wife, and when I really die alone without a wife and children, it's never too late for you to worry. β
Gu Yunji was angry and laughed, and punched him: "Then I have to thank you?" How did you leave a little room and didn't let me worry to the end? β
Cheng Yan climbed the pole and laughed: "You have to thank me, if I don't give you a little worry, wouldn't you have a good time with smooth sailing and a bright future?" β
The two were talking and laughing, and some people were not interested, so they rushed over to ask for suspicion: "Yo, Lord Cheng wants to marry a wife?" I have a younger sister who is twenty-eight years old, just in her prime, why don't you think about it? β
Hearing this voice, Cheng Yan smiled, and a trace of boredom flashed in his eyesβhere it is again.
