Chapter 74: The Prince's Arrival

Next.

At the end of the hour, after crying and mourning, the ministers left in an orderly manner.

Walking to the front of Fengtian Palace, Yang Shiqi called Zhang Fu.

"Guogong, the country can't be without a king for a day, it's not okay for the court to stop!"

Zhang Fu nodded lightly: "I'll go back and inform Yu Qian, from Ming'er, the prince is in the court." ”

"The crown prince is in the dynasty for sure, but... If it is not offended by the lower officials, the prince is too young, even if he is in the court, he is afraid that he will do nothing, the edict of the first emperor, and the important affairs of the country must be submitted to the queen mother. Yang Shiqi sighed: "It's not a matter that the queen mother has been in the harem!" ”

Zhang Fu frowned, he had the intention to refuse, but he couldn't stand it.

It is a fact that the crown prince is too young to do things, and it is also a fact that the first emperor's edict allowed the queen mother to govern.

Yang Shiqi arched his hand and said: "State affairs cannot be delayed, and I hope that the national government will focus on the overall situation." ”

Zhang Fu was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, my lord will go to meet the queen mother later." ”

"The British public is high, and the country is ...... wholeheartedly" As soon as Yang Shiqi said two clichΓ©s, Zhang Fu turned around and left, not giving face at all, and his position was clear.

Yang Shiqi was embarrassed, but he was helpless, and muttered angrily: "How can I be worse than Yu Qian!" ”

East Palace.

After hearing this, Yu Qian nodded and said: "The court meeting really can't be stopped for a long time, and after a long time, hundreds of officials will inevitably slack off, the prince is young, and letting the queen mother be in power is also the edict of the first emperor, there is nothing wrong." ”

"But in that case...... I'm afraid my advantage will be lost. Zhang Fu worried, "It will also become difficult to form a party." ”

Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "The purpose of forming a party is to better stabilize the situation of the court, if it is to form a party and ignore the court, isn't it to sacrifice the basics?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Fu nodded, no longer entangled, "I'll go find the Queen Mother." ”

After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "You tell the prince in advance, so that he can be prepared." ”

"Okay."

Sending Zhang Fu away, Yu Qian returned to the school and stopped Xiao Zhu Qizhen, who was reading, "Prince, you have to get up very early tomorrow." ”

"Why?"

"From tomorrow, you're going to go to the morning court." Yu Qian said.

"Going to court?" Xiao Zhu Qizhen said curiously, "Is it the main hall where the meeting is held?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Qian taught, "At the court meeting, the ministers will salute you, don't say that you are exempt, but say that the ministers are flat." ”

"Oh, I see."

"You have to call me lonely, you can't call me anymore." Yu Qian said again.

Xiao Zhu Qizhen nodded, "How early do you have to get up?" ”

"Hmm... You have to get up before dawn. Seeing that he resisted, Yu Qian said, "The Queen Mother will be with you, and she will also go to court." ”

"That's right." Xiao Zhu Qizhen was a little happier, "Then I have to go to the imperial grandmother tonight." ”

Yu Qian couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Can I play a little longer?"

"Okay, let's play and relax." Yu Qian agreed, "What does the prince want to play?" ”

"Will the teacher Keju?"

"A little." Yu Qian has played with his son, but he hasn't played for a long time.

Xiao Zhu Qizhen hasn't played for a long time.

The two of them played a bad game, but the little one was happy.

Yu Qian, who has always been strict, is particularly easy to talk today, because there is not much time left for this child to be free.

Let's just let him be a child for a day...... Yu Qianxin said.

……

Harem.

When Sun heard Wang Zhen's report, he frowned and said, "Really? ”

"There will be no fakes." Wang Zhen patted his chest and promised, "The slave maid has a wide range of connections in the palace, and the slave and maid are called the second in the circle, and no one dares to call the first, the news is absolutely true." ”

"Hmm... The crown prince should go to the court, and the queen mother should also go to the court......" Sun was not convinced, but soon she thought of something, and her eyes lit up, "After Zhen'er ascends the throne, isn't the palace the queen mother?" ”

Wang Zhen was stunned, first overjoyed, and then secretly shook his head: You think too easily, the queen mother's rank is not low, let's save it.

He could see that Empress Sun had no chance of winning against Empress Dowager Zhang.

He chose Sun because Sun has potential, for the future.

As for the moment... Sun is not a child at all.

The court fighting method does not rely on cleverness.

He didn't dare to say these words, just a perfunctory flattery.

Sun, however, was already intoxicated with his own imagination and fantasized about a bright future.

"Wang Zhen," Sun said with a smile, "If you have any news in the future, you must tell this official as soon as possible, and this palace will not treat you badly." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small box, "This one will reward you." ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly bent forward, took it with both hands, and opened it to see that it was two cat's eye-sized warm pearls, worth no less than twenty taels.

"Thank you for the reward." If you have milk, you are a mother, and Wang Zhen's posture is lower.

Sun enjoys the groveling of others, probably because she has groveled to her mother-in-law and husband for a long time.

She smiled and said, "Do a good job, and the reward will be indispensable to you." ”

"The slave will do a good job." Wang Zhen nodded, "Does Niangniang still have orders?" ”

"Keep an eye on the big and the small."

Wang Zhen arched his hand, "The slave and maid retreat." ”

Sun bowed his head slightly, still immersed in his own world.

Zhen'er Ming'er is about to look at the court, and she will stay in the harem tonight, I have to go to Kunning Palace to wait, no matter how she rushes, I won't leave...... Sun made up his mind, and seeing that it was approaching evening, he got up and sorted out his appearance, and went to Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang is watching the recital, the cabinet has been prepared, as long as she nods, she can implement it, but she doesn't dare to slack off, don't check the checks, after a long time, the cabinet may be slack, and even do things that damage the public and private interests.

She is not young anymore, she is almost sixty years old, and she is physically and mentally tired when she takes over this burden.

"The concubine is the queen mother."

An abrupt voice sounded, and the Empress Dowager Zhang found out that the Sun family was coming, and she was tired of the fire and immediately turned her face, "Rushing in without asking for instructions, do you understand the rules?" ”

"Attention the concubine next time." Sun accompanied him carefully, "The queen mother is hard, and the concubines are worried about the queen mother's body." ”

"Less fake." Zhang snorted, "What's the matter?" If you visit the main palace, you can go back, and the main palace will live. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The concubine wants to see Zhen'er. ”

"He's not here."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhu Qizhen ran in happily.

"Town." Sun stepped forward quickly and picked up his son, "Let the queen mother see if you have grown taller." ”

When Xiao Zhu Qizhen saw that his mother and grandmother were there, he was happy in his heart and smiled happily.

Empress Dowager Zhang was not happy, she couldn't see the Sun family so close to her grandson, especially when her son told him to guard against the Sun family before he died.

She stepped forward and snatched her grandson, and said lightly: "See you, you can go." ”

Sun was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and said pitifully: "Queen Mother, my concubine hasn't seen Zhen'er for a long time." ”

"This palace has to deal with state affairs with Zhen'er." Zhang looked at her coldly, "What, you want to meddle in state affairs?" ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, where did the Sun family dare to take it, and he was unwilling to indulge, and he had to leave.

Let's wait for Zhen'er to ascend the throne, and we'll see, after the enthronement ceremony, the palace will be the queen mother...... Sun left with a calm face.

Xiao Zhu Qizhen felt very sad when he saw the two closest people arguing, "Grandma Huang, can you stop arguing with the queen mother?" ”

"Grandma ......" looked at her grandson's pitiful appearance, Empress Dowager Zhang finally couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Grandma will try her best in the future." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Huang."

"Do you need to talk to grandma about this?" Empress Dowager Zhang pinched his face, "Zhen'er, you're going to the court tomorrow, grandma will teach you some court etiquette......"

……

Next.

Before dawn, the ministers who received the news in advance gathered in the Fengtian Temple.

Wait left and right, until the east is white, the queen mother, the prince comes.

The ministers saluted and paid respects: "The ministers see the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen Mother Chitose, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose ......!" ”

"Zhongqing is flat."

Xiao Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, his feet couldn't reach the ground, and he looked a little nondescript.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." The ministers stood up.

Empress Dowager Zhang stood beside the dragon chair and said coldly: "In the future, you will salute and put the crown prince in front." ”

When the ministers saw that the sycophants were not photographed, they immediately surrendered their hands and said yes.

Empress Dowager Zhang's face softened a little and glanced at her grandson.

Xiao Zhu Qizhen rehearsed last night, and immediately said: "Can Zhongqing have a performance?" ”

"The minister has his own music." Zhang Fu took a step forward and said loudly, "The crown prince and the queen mother, the situation outside the customs is unstable, and the battle between Tatar and Warat has greatly damaged the vitality of Warat, and its strength is not as good as before;

Without the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, they may not be able to last, once the Tatars annex Warat, the grassland will be unified, and the Ming border will be no peace. ”

Guo Jin, the secretary of the ministry, came out of class, "There is one less tribe in the grassland, which is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, and besides, if there is one less Wara, the Ming Dynasty will have no peace, and the Guogong is alarmist, right?" ”

Zhang Fu glanced at him and said in his heart: "Damn, you kid is the end." ”

He looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said seriously: "Warat has been destroyed, and other tribes are not Tatar opponents at all, so I hope the Empress Dowager will think twice." ”

"The minister thinks that the British prince is making too much of a fuss." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites came out of work, "My Daming's money is not blowing in the wind, why do you want to help Warat?" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." The Ministry of Engineering is still out of class.

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

When Yu Qian saw this posture, he became angry immediately, and just as he was about to leave the class, Empress Dowager Zhang spoke first.

There was no room for negotiation, and the voice sounded: "Aid Warat, this matter does not need to be discussed again!" ”
