Chapter 99: Yan Feng's first year

With the sound of firecrackers exploding, in the palace, listening to the sound of the bell, Zhao Yu, who started the vigil after dinner with Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er, couldn't help but stretch and said:

"You two, it's not too early now, go back and rest early."

"Your Majesty, the concubines and sister Qing'er wish Your Majesty a blessed and boundless life, the four seas are peaceful, and all the people admire."

Yin Wanwan got up, blessed Zhao Yu, and sent her New Year's greetings in a timely manner.

Bai Qing'er rolled her eyes at her senior sister vaguely.

Your Majesty's New Year's message, if you want to send it, you will also send it to Your Majesty in person, when did you use your sister to say it for your sister?

However, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still smiled like a flower, and said softly:

"If Sister Wan'er didn't mention it, the concubine would almost forget it. The concubines also wish Your Majesty a long life, and wish me a happy and healthy life for all the people of Dachu, and a good year in peace. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled.

"You two sisters have hearts. I also wish you both a happy and prosperous new year, and you will always be young. ”

Although he is the emperor, Zhao Yu is still the highly educated traverser in his bones, and he subconsciously replied a few New Year's wishes to Yin Wanwan and the others.

When the two girls heard this, their eyes were slightly stunned, and the smiles on their faces became deeper after an instant.

"This is the first time that Senior Sister Qing'er and I have received New Year's blessings from others in addition to Master."

Yin Wanwan covered her lips and looked at the young man in front of her with burning eyes.

"yes." Bai Qing'er blinked, hiding the sparkle in her eyes, and there was a hint of crying in her voice, "Your Majesty's heart, the concubine and Sister Wan'er have felt it, but they just say that youth lasts forever...... Your Majesty, the two of us never dare to think about this, we just want to be by Your Majesty's side in this life and this life. When you are old and decrepit, as long as Your Majesty still has me and my sister in her heart, even if the concubine dies, she will be satisfied. ”

Zhao Yu glared at Bai Qing'er angrily, and reached out to scratch her Qiong's nose.

"This is a good day, what do you say about the ...... that can't die"

It is said that the true love of the demon girl in the demon gate is rare, but if you exchange sincerity for sincerity, there will always be a day to impress the other party.

Yin Wanwan gathered her mind and asked with a smile:

"Where is Your Majesty going to rest tonight?"

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes swept towards Bai Qing'er and Zhao Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Yu put his hand to his lips with some weakness, coughed lightly, and said:

"Oh, there's a big pilgrimage meeting tomorrow morning. I'm going to go to the Funing Hall tonight...... The two of you also rest early. ”

After that, without waiting for the two to speak, they turned around and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Zhao Yu's slightly embarrassed figure, Yin Wanwan's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

"My sister will harm my sister's good deeds." Bai Qing'er pouted and complained with a little dissatisfaction, "Originally, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, my sister still has some new problems in life that she wants to discuss with Your Majesty." My sister is domineering, even if she can't eat it, she won't let others eat it. ”

After that, he went back to the Qingqiu Hall to rest angrily.

Yin Wanwan wasn't very annoyed by Bai Qing'er's attitude, but after she returned to the Warm Spring Pavilion, she devoted herself to cultivation again.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first year of Yanfeng.

According to the practice of the DPRK and China, on the first day of the first year of Yanfeng, there was a big court meeting.

In less than five watches, the sound of firecrackers in the palace woke Zhao Yu up from his sleep.

"The slave and maid have given the Holy New Year's greetings! I wish Your Majesty a long life, peace in the four seas, and praise from all the people. ”

Seeing Zhao Yu wake up, Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward, knelt in front of the couch, and greeted Zhao Yu.

"I have accepted your wishes, get up!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and motioned for Gao Lishi to get up.

"Quick, change your Majesty's clothes!"

After Gao Lishi stood up, he motioned to the palace maids who were already waiting outside the palace to enter the palace to change the emperor's clothes.

In the process of changing clothes, Zhao Yu suddenly faintly heard three sounds outside the hall.

"What sound?"

Zhao Yu asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, it's a drop of gold."

Gao Lishi walked in from outside the hall with a basin of water, and while waiting for Zhao Yu to wash, he explained in a low voice, "The palace people are slamming the door latch outside." Throwing the door latch into the firecracker gold paper, called 'falling a thousand gold', looking forward to the new year to be able to roll in the wealth and peace. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

The big court meeting on New Year's Day was extremely grand, so Zhao Yu was also dressed very formally.

As the first day of the new year, the specifications are much higher than the specifications of the ordinary twice-monthly pilgrimage meetings.

That is to say, on the first day of the first lunar month, the first thing the officials in Shenjing City had to do when they woke up was not to greet the elders in the family, but to kowtow and congratulate the emperor.

Local officials outside the city would also bow in the direction of the city to congratulate the emperor in the palace.

The courtiers have to worship the emperor, and the emperor has to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Therefore, on New Year's Day, Zhao Yu felt unprecedented "fulfillment".

Before the start of the Great Dynasty Meeting, he first went to the Taimiao Temple to worship the first emperor, worship the ancestors and ancestors, and worship heaven and earth.

After the worship, he rushed to the Taiji Hall non-stop to hold the first big meeting of the new year.

In this great court meeting, Zhao Yu mainly accepted the congratulations from the ministers.

But in addition, Cao Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also reported a situation to Zhao Yu.

Burma and Qi sent a note saying that they had sent envoys to Shenjing to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and that they were now on their way.

"What do you mean by these two countries sending people at this time?"

On the throne, Zhao Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

He always had the feeling that the envoys of these two countries were probably uneasy and well-intentioned when they came this time.

If you want to congratulate yourself on your ascension to the throne as emperor, you came a year ago, and it is really unreasonable to delay it until the New Year.

"Your Majesty."

Cao Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held the wat board in his hand and bowed and said:

In the minister's opinion, these two countries obviously have bad intentions in doing so. The reason why their envoys dragged it out to this time was that they thought that it should be the traitorous king who was on the throne at this time, but they didn't expect His Majesty to be wise and powerful, and he caught them off guard. ”

"Want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? When the envoys of these two countries arrive, I will ask them in front of them what their intentions are! ”

Zhao Yu snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, Myanmar and Qi sent envoys at the same time, and it seems that there is a secret collusion, and I ask Your Majesty to be vigilant."

Wang Pu, who served as the privy envoy of the Privy Council, also came out to speak.

"Wang Qing's words are very true, the ambitions of the wolves of these two countries, we have to guard against them." Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly and looked at Cao Huan, "Cao Qing, when will the envoys of these two countries arrive in Shenjing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's almost past the New Year's Eve. According to the note, the envoys of Qi are expected to arrive on the 28th of the first month, and Myanmar is two days later than Qi because of its distance from Shenjing. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Huan's voice suddenly stopped.

According to the distance, the Burmese envoy arrived in Shenjing only two days later than the Qi envoy, which is indeed abnormal, if you want to say seven or eight days at night, it is about the same.

But in terms of time, if these two countries are not connected, he Cao Huan is the first to not believe it!

"It seems that Cao Qing has also found something wrong." Zhao Yu said, "However, I am a guest from afar, and I, as the host, are not good at taking the initiative to find trouble with the other party before they turn their faces." Cao Qing, when the envoys of the two countries arrive, I will send people from the Ministry of Rites to put them in prison, don't let them know too much information about my Dachu. ”

While entering the DPRK, the envoys also had the task of spying and collecting intelligence.

"Your Majesty is assured that the minister has sent people to the border to meet the two countries' missions, and has repeatedly told them that they must not be allowed to get out of sight, and that they must not be taken into any city or military village before entering Shenjing."

Cao Huan held the wat and played.

"Cao Qing is doing things, I am still relieved." Zhao Yu nodded, "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, I want to see, what kind of moth do the envoys of these two countries want to play for me?" ”

Having said that, thinking of what Shi Ami said in the report, the Empress Dowager Xuande and the Qi State had a connection, Zhao Yu did not dare to relax in his heart.

At the end of the court, Zhao Yu returned to the Zihuan Palace, and just after the last stack of music folds were reviewed, he heard Gao Lishi say in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Heba Mansion has been waiting outside the palace for a while."

"This He Batco mud (He Batyun word can mud), he doesn't rest during the New Year, and he doesn't want me to rest."

Zhao Yu scolded with a smile and motioned for Gao Lishi to lead him into the hall.

"Minister, He Bayun, see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

As soon as He Ba Yunfu entered the hall, he bowed to Zhao Yu.

"He Batqing, get up, Gao Lishi, give He Batqing tea and a seat."

Zhao Yu looked at He Batyun in front of him, and asked with a smile: "After He Batqing's court meeting, instead of getting together with the two brothers, he came here instead of me, could it be that there is something important that cannot be done?" ”

Speaking of work, He Bayun's face suddenly became solemn.

Putting the teacup in his hand aside, He Bayun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the stolen goods obtained from the raid of the mansions of many criminal ministers two days ago have been completed, and now the ministers have let people complete the investigation. Among them, gold and silver are easier to handle, and they are sent directly to the treasury and His Majesty's inner treasury. It's just that the remaining antiques, calligraphy and paintings, how to deal with the shop property, please ask Your Majesty to instruct. ”

Hearing He Bayun's report, Zhao Yu was a little surprised.

"It's only been a few days since the establishment of the Editorial Mansion, and it has such efficiency, which has impressed me."

"This is the Jishi Mansion, and it is also the first case that Weichen took over, if it is not handled well, it will not only make colleagues laugh, but also appear that His Majesty is not using people properly." Tuoba Yun arched his hand and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's trust, Weichen should do his best to repay the king's grace." ”

"I love to hear what He Baqing said."

Zhao Yu nodded, thought about it for a long time, and then said:

"In this way, you will send the calligraphy and paintings you have searched out, such as unique and superb ones, to me to the Chongwen Pavilion and keep them well. Those shops, I have left ten with better locations, and I have other uses.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Aiqing asked his subordinates to spread the news in Shenjing, saying that after the New Year, the imperial court will hold an auction to auction many stolen goods seized this time, and the highest price will be obtained. In the past few days, I have worked hard to ask people to count these stolen goods, and make a booklet of those with good quality and high value. Whoever participates, will be given a copy, so that he knows what good things will be in this auction. I will inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and ask them to send people to assist Aiqing. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued:

"In this matter, I gave He Baqing a month to prepare. Fifty percent of the proceeds from this auction will go into the national treasury, and thirty percent will go into my inner treasury, and the last two percent will be used as the funds for your future activities in the government. ”

After listening to Zhao Yu's thoughts, He Bayun's face flushed, and he said continuously:

"Your Majesty is really a holy monarch, and you can come up with such a method, and the minister is ashamed! Please wait and see, the minister will never live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

As smart as he is, he has already smelled the business opportunities and political achievements in it.

After He Bayun left, Zhao Yu could finally relax, not have to worry about the "work of the case", and enjoy the long vacation of more than ten days.

The emperor is like this, and the hundred officials are no exception.

In Shenjing City, after the princes and officials of Beijing paid homage to Zhao Yu at the Zhengdan court, they scattered birds and beasts, and most of them began a 20-day paid vacation.

All the officials in Beijing, including Wang Pu and Zhang Xiu, wrote a big bag of their New Year's cards and went to their colleagues' homes to post New Year's greetings.

It's just that because every family has to visit relatives and friends, after this post is received by the porter, I don't expect the other party to reply to the post.

The New Year's card handed out is like Zhao Yu's New Year's card in his previous life, just to show that he is still there, and he still thinks about you.

However, after Wang Pu finished posting, he locked himself in the study, spread out the paper on the desk, frowned and thought from time to time, and worked hard to write from time to time.

"Wang Wenbo, this Chinese New Year, everyone is visiting relatives and friends, what do you mean by locking yourself in your room, just don't you want to see your concubines and children?"

Outside the study, there was the voice of Wang Pu's wife's dissatisfaction.

Wang Pu sighed, got up and opened the door.

Looking at his wife's dissatisfied eyes, Wang Pu held back his mood and said in a low voice:

"It's not good for the husband, now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he has asked the husband to take on a heavy responsibility, Jun En is like this, the husband can only repay him wholeheartedly, and please forgive the lady. This Spring Festival, let's bother Mrs. to take the children to play. ”

Looking at her husband's apologetic eyes, his wife Zhao couldn't help but feel soft, stretched out her hand to straighten Wang Pu's clothes, and said:

"Your Majesty has the grace of knowing her husband, and the concubine knows it, and she also understands her husband's aspirations. The children will be handed over to the concubine, and the concubine will not let those little rabbits disturb the husband. I just hope that my husband will pay attention to his body bones, so as not to be tired of his body. After all, Fujun is not an energetic young man in his early twenties, and he must learn to maintain health. ”

"Mrs. Park thanked Mrs. for her concern."

Hearing Zhao's words, Wang Pu was quite moved in his heart, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Zhao in his arms.

Feeling Wang Pu's true feelings, Zhao's heart was as sweet as eating honey, but she was a very traditional woman, and she couldn't help but be ashamed after reacting, and whispered:

"This is broad daylight, let the children see how bad it is, let it go!"

Wang Pu, who let go of his hand, watched his wife break free from his embrace, smiled shyly at himself, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, and was a little stupid for a while.

When he reacted, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, returned to the study, and continued to write.

The third chapter has not yet been written, and it is estimated that it will be a little later......
