Cao Xun leaned over.

Yunzhu kissed him on the face: "You will coax people." ”

Cao Xun hugged her and said, "It's not worth it to worry about her for this little thing, but I have already ordered it to go down, if you send someone to the garden over there, Uncle Zhang will ask someone to follow, it doesn't matter once or twice, if she is endless, I will not blindly connive." ”

Yunzhu: "Okay, you go to the official office quickly, it's not worth delaying official business for her." ”

Cao Xun left.

Yunzhu just said that she was going to deliberately anger Pan's family, but now she has no leisure, as if she takes a peony seriously.

But Pan Shi had already gone to the garden and waited, waiting to bump into the scene of Yunzhu's failure to find flowers, who let the emperor's grandson die, she was still in the mood to enjoy the flowers!

However, Pan waited and waited, but he didn't wait for Yunzhu's figure at all, only waited for a little guy who watched her from a distance as if he was a thief, and waited until Cao Xun sent Yunzhu more than 20 pots of blooming peonies early in the morning.

Pan: "......"

She couldn't swallow this breath, and ran to the palace to complain to her daughter: "Don't look at the emperor when he left, he pretended to be like his dead son, look, how long has it been, the emperor has not been buried, and he is in the mood to accompany the fox to appreciate the peony!" ”

Empress Dowager Cao is dressed in plain clothes, without fat powder, she is still very young and beautiful, but she seems to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden.

The women in the palace, when the emperor's husband was alive, she lived by competing for favor, her husband died, and her son was the emperor and she was the queen mother, and the days were also quite delicious.

Now, her only son is gone, and the only thing that will accompany her for the rest of her life is this cage-like Cining Palace.

Looking at her mean-looking mother, Empress Dowager Cao only felt ridiculous: "Even if my brother's grief is faked, he is willing to pretend, which means that he is still willing to leave some affection for my sister, and my mother will continue to offend my brother Yunzhu, even if my brother won't even give me this kind of affection one day, whatever the new emperor will do to me after he ascends the throne." ”

Pan was silent.

Empress Dowager Cao was physically and mentally exhausted: "You can live in peace, don't trouble me anymore." ”

If Yun Zhushun had successfully married his younger brother Cao Shao, his son would never have had such a stiff quarrel with the Li family's father and son.

If his son continued to keep Li Yao as the commander of the imperial guard, with Li Yao's skills, maybe he would be able to stop the palace people from assassinating his son that day.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

Some things are doomed from the moment the mother beats the mandarin duck.

Chapter 84: The New Emperor Enters Beijing, Double Happiness Comes to the Door (Start the Single Update Today, See You Tomorrow)

Liping in Guizhou is too far away from the capital, and the mission to welcome the new emperor set off in early February, and they came and went quickly, eager not to delay for a moment, and finally welcomed the new emperor back at the end of May.

Empress Dowager Cao led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet her.

Yunzhu stayed in the Drunken Immortal Residence with her mother and sister-in-law early in the morning, and when the new emperor's guard of honor began to enter the city, Meng put his daughter in one hand and his daughter-in-law in the other, and the mother and wife were crowded by a window.

The new emperor sat in the splendid imperial chariot, the front and back were all military generals wearing silver armor, among them there was a young man in a red robe riding a high-headed horse to guard the left side of the imperial chariot, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows were calm, it was Li Xian, the third prince of the Ningguo Mansion.

Yun Zhu hadn't seen her brother for a whole year, and after seeing her again for so long, she suddenly noticed the changes in her brother's body, his face was tanned, his shoulders were taller and stronger, and his calm temperament became more and more obvious, and it was easy for people to ignore that he was only sixteen years old this year.

Meng Shi looked intently at his son who was gradually moving forward, his face full of relief.

Gu Min said witty words to coax her mother-in-law and sister-in-law: "The third brother is getting more and more handsome, and I see that many girls below are staring at the third brother." ”

Only then did Yunzhu retract his gaze from following his brother's back, and then he saw his father and Cao Xun walking side by side on a horse.

The people under the window were excitedly discussing: "Ning Guogong and Uncle Daguo are both handsome and elegant generals, is this considered a family that does not enter the door?" ”

"I think that Uncle Dao looks more like Ning Guogong's own son than the son of the Li family."

"It's nonsense, Uncle Dao is only ten years younger than Ning Guogong."

"To be handsome is to be popular, these two people look younger than they actually are."

"Hey, that's Li Shizi, good guy, this head and this body, I'm worried that he will crush that horse."

Yun Zhu and Meng Shi listened, and subconsciously looked at Gu Min on the side.

Gu Min's little face suddenly became redder than charcoal, and he returned to the chair and sat down, bowing his head to pour tea for himself, feeling ashamed and annoyed, that person was really talking nonsense just now, she could stand Li Yao, so the fat and healthy horse would not be able to carry him?

.

After the new emperor entered the palace, he first led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay tribute to Emperor Qianxing in the Feng'an Temple built for Emperor Qianxing.

Emperor Qianxing's coffin is still parked here, because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is a circle of ice around the emperor's coffin, but despite this, some smell escapes.

The former second prince King Li and now Emperor Xining held three sticks of incense in his hand, and bowed three times to the coffin with a calm expression.

He was the elder brother, and now he was also the emperor, so he did not have to kneel to the dead emperor's younger brother.

As early as last year, when he left the capital, Emperor Xining never thought that he would return to Beijing one day, and went through a life and death crisis all the way to Guizhou.

Who would have expected that he and Li Xiancai would clean up the stone village, and only then would they secretly gather a group of reliable people, and Emperor Qianxing would toss himself to death?

Emperor Xining is not surprised at all for the evil cause of abusing and beating palace people, as early as when Emperor Qianxing was still the crown prince, he beat and scolded the palace maids and eunuchs around him at every turn, and did not treat those palace people as human beings at all.

Because Emperor Qianxing once wanted his life, now that Emperor Qianxing is dead, it is impossible for Emperor Xining to have any sad emotions, he doesn't even pretend to be in tears, and with a long sigh, it can be regarded as giving Empress Cao the queen's son.

It is these small details that can better show a person's temperament, and the Empress Dowager Cao and the ministers of civil and military affairs can understand that Emperor Xining is not an emperor who likes to do face-saving work. His throne was not sincerely left to him by Emperor Qianxing, and he would not be grateful to Emperor Qianxing for his past because of that edict, and Empress Dowager Cao and these ministers in the capital did not expect to use this matter to manipulate him.

After paying tribute to Emperor Qianxing, the ministers officially bowed to Emperor Xining, and Emperor Xining took a group of important ministers to the Qianqing Palace.

Empress Dowager Cao, the two uncles, Li Yong and Li Xian's father and son are all there.

Emperor Xining first listened to the cabinet and the six ministries reported the major events of the court in recent months, and the country was worry-free for the time being, and then discussed the burial of Emperor Qianxing.

In just four months, the mausoleum of Emperor Qianxing has been built, there are so many emperors in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the mausoleums of most emperors have been built for several years, and Emperor Qianxing is the second to take only four months to build. Among them, there are naturally the factors that Emperor Qianxing has not yet married, and there is no need to consider leaving a place for the empress, and it is also related to the short reign of Emperor Qianxing, the shameful cause of death, and the grudge with the new emperor.

Empress Dowager Cao really wanted to build an unparalleled mausoleum for her son, but she had no reason or strength to fight for it.

Emperor Xining looked at several auspicious days of the zodiac calculated by Qintian, and asked Empress Dowager Cao: "Which day does the queen mother think is good?" ”

Mrs. Cao showed sadness later: "Let's go on the seventh day of the sixth month, let him enter the ground as soon as possible." ”

Her son was buried, and her heart felt better.

Emperor Xining asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange it.

After the cabinet and the six Shangshu left, when Emperor Xining looked at Li Yong's father and son, his expression became much more friendly: "Guogong and Xianlang are running all the way with me, they must be tired, go back to the house and rest early." ”

Li Yong and Li Xian were ordered to retire.

At this time, only Emperor Xining, Empress Dowager Cao and two uncles were left in the Qianqing Palace.

Empress Dowager Cao playfully proposed to go back to Cining Palace to rest.

Emperor Xining looked at Cao Shao: "Uncle sent a queen mother on my behalf." ”

Cao Shao: "Yes. ”

After speaking, he stepped forward to hold his sister's arm, and the sister and brother slowly left the Qianqing Palace.

Far away, Empress Dowager Cao looked at her younger brother carefully, and saw that her younger brother was thin and dark, and said distressedly: "You have suffered a lot along the way, right?" ”

Cao Shao glanced at his sister, and said in a low voice as he walked: "Fortunately, when I went to the country, they took care of me, and after seeing the emperor, the emperor treated me very politely." ”

Empress Dowager Cao tugged at the corners of her mouth.

The second prince has been silent since he was a child, but he has not made any mistakes in etiquette, unlike her son, who has joy and anger on his face, and he doesn't pretend to be like it.

"No matter how polite it is, it's not that I left my uncle to talk about myself."

Empress Dowager Cao's voice was as light as a wisp of wind, and Cao Shao was close enough to hear it reluctantly, but he did hear what his sister said.

Cao Shao's mood was very complicated.

When his nephew ascended the throne, his status rose, and it would be a lie to say that he was not happy.

It's just that no matter how happy he is, Cao Shao also knows that his nephew is not a Ming Jun material, and many things have caused him a headache, and after nearly two months of getting along with Emperor Xining, Cao Shao has to admit that this nephew who is separated by a layer is more suitable to be an emperor than a dead nephew.

Cao Shao didn't think of using his status as an uncle to profit in his career, so even if Emperor Xining would temporarily alienate him for a while because of his dead nephew, Cao Shao would not have too many feelings of loss, he believed that as long as he served the court with loyalty and sincerity, Emperor Xining recognized his talents, and sooner or later he would reuse him.

Therefore, Cao Shao would not be jealous of his brother, who was more likely to be valued by Emperor Xining.

He said to his sister: "The emperor is upright and forgiving, and he is not a person who must repay him, my sister can get along with him at ease, and the emperor will respect my sister." ”

Empress Dowager Cao looked at the sky in the distance: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

Going against Emperor Xining didn't do her any good.

In the Qianqing Palace, after everyone retreated, Cao Xun knelt down towards Emperor Xining.

Emperor Xining was shocked, and quickly walked around to help him up: "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

But he was still a thin young man after all, Cao Xun held Emperor Xining's hand to stop his movements, lowered his eyes and confessed: "It was the incompetence of the ministers, so that the emperor was almost killed by Wei Gang and Imperial Doctor Song." ”

He was referring to the fact that Emperor Xining was almost killed by a bowl of poison last year.

Recalling the thrill at that time, Emperor Xining smiled bitterly: "If others want to harm me, my uncle can't whip me for any crime, I understand it." ”

At that time, those guards were personally selected by Emperor Wan Gonggong on the orders of Emperor Qianxing, and in this case, if the uncle could place his own people in it, the uncle's ability would be too great, so big that whoever became the emperor would have to be jealous.

"Uncle, get up quickly, I am now the only one I can trust, and my uncle must not be separated from me."

Cao Xun raised his head and met the young emperor's sincere gaze, and then stood up.

Emperor Xining asked him to sit down, he asked his uncle about the affairs in the capital, and Cao Xun also cared about what he had done this year.

Emperor Xining smiled: "Fortunately, Xianlang accompanies me, otherwise I may not be able to persevere." ”

Cao Xun did not blindly pity the emperor's nephew, and looked at Emperor Xining with expectation: "Hardships and hardships, Yuru is successful, the emperor has personally experienced the sinister and sinister civil sufferings of officialdom this year, and the minister believes that after the emperor is in power, he will be able to become a generation of Ming Jun." ”

Emperor Xining was aroused by his uncle's words, and said: "I also have this intention, but I am still young, and I still hope that my uncle will assist." ”

Cao Xun knelt down again: "Loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is a matter within the minister's responsibility, as long as the emperor has an order, the minister will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”

.

In the Ningguo Mansion, as soon as Li Yong's father and son returned home, they received a warm welcome from the Meng family.

To be more precise, it was Li Xian who received the enthusiasm from his mother, sister, and sister-in-law.

Yun Zhu was the most unscrupulous, she rushed over and hugged her younger brother, who was already taller than her, Meng touched her son's head, Gu Min was a sister-in-law, it was not good to be too close to her uncle, she only stood beside her mother-in-law and smiled softly.

Li Yong: "......"

He went to sit down in the hall and poured tea to quench his thirst.

Li Xian saw it and reminded his sister: "Father has gone in." ”

Yunzhu: "Go in, go in, I don't want him." ”
