After entering the palace, Yang Shanlu, led by the eunuch, went to Qianqing Palace.
However, when passing by the Imperial Garden, he suddenly saw a little loli approaching in the corridor ahead, accompanied by four court ladies.
I saw this little loli wearing a bright yellow dress with a golden embroidered cloud and phoenix pattern on it, which was obviously a royal armor.
And this little loli looks only more than ten years old, but she is very cute, with a small flower-like face, and already has the embryonic shape of a beauty, with a red face, a little playful nose, and she is just Like a work of art.
Yang Shanlu was thinking secretly in his heart, who would this little loli be
We must know that Emperor Chongzhen has always had a sparse harem and few people are crowded, so based on this calculation, is this little Lolita the famous Changping princess Zhu Yuxuan
Soon Yang Shanlu's doubts were resolved. After seeing Yang Shanlu, this little loli ran over curiously, but few strangers came in inside the palace.
At this time, the little eunuchs who accompanied them had already saluted and said they had seen Princess Changping.
Yang Shanlu knew it in her heart, and she was indeed the sad princess of later generations... As a famous sad princess in history and the last princess of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shanlu was quite clear about the princess's tragic ending.
According to history, she was "loving poetry, good at needles", was a woman who was passionate about life, and she was also smart and beautiful, and she was deeply loved by Chongzhen.
It's just because I was born in troubled times, but I couldn't end well. Especially when the peasant army invaded the Forbidden City, Chongzhen said the famous sentence,'Why do you give birth to my family!'
Then he swung the sword and cut off her left arm. Originally, Chongzhen wanted to kill her to prevent her from suffering, but in the end he gave up because he couldn't get rid of it.
But even so, this poor princess, after becoming a Venus with a severed arm, is facing the ruin of the country and the tragic situation of both her parents committing suicide!
After that, she was still under the age of seventeen and led a life of darkness, until a year later, she died of injuries and died at the age of only eighteen...
So looking at this innocent little loli at this time, Yang Shanlu felt very emotional, but this little loli is not afraid of life. After looking at him carefully, she seriously asked: "You are Isn't it the little general who the father said every day, who won the battle?"
"If it's good, it's the Weichen." Yang Shanlu just politely said.
"Brother General, you are a good person!" Little Lolita said crisply: "These days, the emperor father has been sighing every day. Smiley."
"Return to Your Royal Highness, this is the duty that a minister should do." Yang Shanlu is the gift of guarding the emperor.
It seems that this little princess rarely meets an interesting person and has to pester him. At this time, the little eunuch on the side reminded him in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor is still waiting for General Yang to see him..."
Little Lori reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Shanlu now.
After bidding farewell to Princess Changping, Yang Shanlu soon came to the Palace of Qing Dynasty.
Then he also officially saw the well-known emperor Chongzhen. In history, this emperor was a controversial figure. Some people said that he killed the ministers indiscriminately and was faint and incompetent, which led to the death of the Ming Dynasty!
And some people say that he has done well enough, and even speculate that if he had not suffered the country's subjugation, he would eventually be a toiled life! Visible his diligence!
It's just that the emperor's life was not good. After he became the emperor, he suffered from natural disasters and encountered the little ice age that was rare in a thousand years! Even every time he encounters a natural disaster, he has to review himself. This is because he has lost his virtue as an emperor, and that's why he caused God to get angry!
Then they encountered internal and external troubles. There were gangsters on the inside, and there were gangsters on the outside! These are all squeezed together! That's why he has the heart to govern the country and is unable to return to heaven, which means that he is actually a good emperor and a diligent emperor.
But now, Yang Shanlu will take his own eyes to observe carefully, what kind of person is this famous emperor in history
However, after Yang Shanlu read it carefully, he sighed in his heart. According to the historical records, the emperor is still very young now, only 27 years old. But as far as he can see, such a young emperor is worried about the affairs of the country. See silky gray hair.
And his life is very simple, not to mention the richness of clothes, Yang Shanlu saw the dragon robe he was wearing, there are traces of stitches, and according to historical records, the harem of Emperor Chongzhen, including the queen There are five concubines in total, which are not the same as the 30,000 court ladies and 3,000 beauties in the harem of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
Among the five concubines, the princess Tian is the most favored. The reason is that the female workers are well done and good at sewing clothes. From today's point of view, I am afraid it is not groundless.
And an emperor who is so frugal that it can be said to be rare in the world, and even the old witch Cixi in later generations will wear a night pearl worth a million taels of silver after death, which is simply not comparable.
When Yang Shanlu looked at Chongzhen in a daze, Chongzhen had already looked over.
"Long live my emperor!" Yang Shanlu woke up and hurriedly followed the rules and bowed down three times and bowed down.
"Okay, well, Aiqing please get up soon." Chongzhen was still a little puzzled at first, why this one stared at him for so long! And looking at your own eyes is like looking at rare animals? However, he didn't know that there was a talk about crossing, he just thought it was the normal way of ordinary people seeing him.
Even after Chongzhen met Yang Shanlu, he added three points of joy... It turned out that in his impression, Yang Sichang was already this old. He thought Yang Shanlu was not young anymore, but he did not expect that he was so young! Even looking at Yang Shanlu, who was young, it felt extremely close to Chongzhen, who had been dealing with a group of middle-aged and elderly people all day.
Then he looked at Yang Shanlu again and found that there was no such common generals as the five big and three thick, full of flesh and blood, but a vigorous young general, and he felt even more joyful...
Emperor Chongzhen was like this. In fact, Chongzhen's personality is flawed and he is easily impulsive. As long as he feels pleasing to your eyes, he can't wait to give you all of his liver and lungs! Of course, if you fail him, the end will be terrible, and you usually kill the matter directly.
Just like Yuan Chonghuan in history, only Chongzhen was granted an illusory five-year Ping Liao period, and Chongzhen directly appointed him as the governor of Ji Liao, giving him full power!
After the bubble in Pingliao burst in the next five years, Yuan Chonghuan was put to death. When he was dying, even the flesh of his body was eaten by the people and died, which is a very miserable one.
So now, Yang Shanlu still needs to be cautious.
But now, Chongzhen's eyes on Yang Shanlu are obviously right. After all, what Yang Shanlu did is much more reliable than that of Yuan Da Supervisor who only talks about it.
Even Chongzhen became more and more happy as he watched, he just said suddenly: "Yang Aiqing, you have done a lot to the country, how about you and me being brothers of the opposite sex?"
"what!"
Yang Shanlu was shocked, how could this be possible! Including Yang Sichang on the side was also shocked. He said that the emperor really thought of what to say. If you become brothers with different surnames, then what am I
Including Wang Chengen, who was standing by, was shocked and coughed violently.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was a bit gaffe, but he really liked Yang Shanlu, so he smiled and said: "Well, as long as Yang Aiqing continues to serve the country faithfully and fight the enemy bravely! How stingy I am waiting for the reward!
"Also from what Yang Lao Aiqing said, you still don't want to be a guerrilla general, but want to be a defense?"
"That's right." Yang Shanlu said sincerely: "Weichen is so young that he is not willing to take a high position suddenly, but is willing to guard one side and defend the country's borders."
"Good, good!" Chongzhen exclaimed when he heard that, this is the great loyal minister! You are not proud of making such a great achievement!
So as I watched, Chongzhen suddenly asked again, "By the way, Yang Aiqing, you are young, have you ever had a copy?"
"It hasn't happened yet." Yang Shanlu replied quickly.
"Very well, let me give you a table of words!" Chongzhen was actually very proud of it, and then he thought about it carefully, and then said excitedly: "I have it, how about Zhenguo? I hope that you will become my country’s military force like Qi Shaobao, who shook the world back then!"
Even Chongzhen was very interested, and ordered someone to send a piece of rice paper on the spot, and write the word'zhenguo' with a few strokes!
To be honest, this small letter of Chongzhen is not very good, but the meaning is very important...
"Thanks to the emperor for giving the word!" Yang Shanlu knelt down quickly, but she was also very happy... This trip to the capital was worthwhile, and the emperor gave the word for it! Give me a calligraphy! You said that if you encounter a bastard who pretends to be forced by him in the future, and show the calligraphy gift from the emperor by yourself, you should kneel down and kowtow to me first...
As for Wang Chengen, who is standing by, he is even more envious. This grace...
As for Yang Sichang on the side, it is necessary to forcibly endure the joy in his heart, so as to keep him from losing his dignity. Such grace is really great!
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that Yang Shanlu was satisfied, he was also satisfied. He just smiled and said: "Aiqing does not have to be modest, you have done a great job in the country, and it is nothing to give a letter! In addition, if you have any requirements, please mention it. Come out, as long as I can do it, I will definitely call the shots for you!"
is it? After thinking about it, Yang Shanlu felt that something really happened! Originally, he planned to raise this matter in a later formal summons, but now, he looked at Yang Sichang on the side and felt that the time was more appropriate.
Yang Shanlu knelt down again and said, "In this case, the Weichen really has a request."
"Oh, please say it quickly!" Chongzhen said quickly.
Yang Shanlu said: "Weichen was able to make this contribution, thanks to his mother's growth, so now he drinks water and thinks about the source, and the Weichen dares to ask for a madam for his mother!"
"This is completely possible, I agreed." Chongzhen felt that the reward for Yang Shanlu was too little, and now he heard Yang Shanlu say this small request, it was a full promise.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shanlu didn’t stop there. He just added: “Weichen also asks the emperor to forgive the sins, because weichen’s request for this madam Hao Ming was not given to Weichen’s current nominal mother, that is, Yang. The eldest lady of the mansion, but the biological mother of the Weichen, the Sun family now living in Zhenluwei.
In other words, the Weichen was a bastard, and his mother was born in poverty. It is reasonable to say that the Weichen could not be sealed, but now the Weichen boldly asks the emperor to be able to appoint the Weichen's mother. "
Okay, as soon as this was said, Yang Sichang's expression on the side was a little embarrassed. Why didn't he understand that Yang Shanlu was actually taking the opportunity to remind him that there was still someone waiting for him in Zhenluwei! It's just that if you usually do this, there is indeed a lot of resistance. This is related to the patriarchal clan system.
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen agreed with Yang Shanlu's remarks, and even felt deeply in my heart!
After all, Chongzhen's background is somewhat similar to Yang Shanlu! Because he was not born as the eldest son, he could only be raised as an idle prince since he was a child, and he was not properly trained at all!
And his brother, who is more willing to be a carpenter, must be the emperor who is not interested! So after the sudden death of Emperor Tianqi, he could only be driven off the shelves by ducks! Very hasty.
So now he listened to Yang Shanlu’s words, and he felt a little empathetic, and he said happily: "Aiqing, what a crime you have, I grant your request! The old lady gave birth to you, a unicorn, the same is true. Why can't I give a reward if I have done a great job in the country!"
With that said, Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said, “Make a note of Yang Aiqing’s birth mother as a fifth-grade fate!” However, Chongzhen obviously also knew that this was not in harmony with etiquette, so he added: “This matter should go to the Ministry of Rites. If anyone raises a criticism, just ignore it!"
"Zunzhi—" Wang Chengen quickly agreed, and then he didn't know what to say... This grace, he had served the emperor for so many years, he had never seen it before!
But Wang Chengen still underestimated this grace...
Chongzhen went on to say to Yang Sichang on the side: "Old Yang Aiqing, here I want to say you, the system of wives and concubines respect and inferiority is aimed at those foolish husbands and wives. Mrs. Yang has done a lot in the country, but she is not In this case! So I am here to give you a decree that the old lady must be taken back to the Yang Mansion and treated as a comrade-wife."
"Weichen abides by the order." Yang Sichang felt so awkward... The emperor actually took care of his own housework...
But on the other hand, he also felt relieved. In the past few days, he has actually considered this matter, because he knows that Yang Shanlu treats his mother to filial piety, otherwise he would not go out of the Yang Mansion. ! It's just that because of religious etiquette, he can only slowly figure it out.
But now, with the emperor’s golden words, this matter has just been resolved! And the tigress at home can't make trouble at all!
A joke, this is the emperor Jinkouyuyan, personally made the will, she still dare to make trouble! And in this way he can completely repair the relationship between him and Yang Shanlu.
As for Yang Shanlu, he was even more happy when he heard it. In this way, the wish of his mother Sun's dreams can be realized.
"Thank you, the emperor." To be honest, Yang Shanlu is not used to kowtow, but this time, he kowtows to Emperor Chongzhen sincerely, and I am not in vain to kill the enemy for you. Things are still pretty good.
But Chongzhen felt that he hadn't done anything, just smiled and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this." Even he admired Yang Shanlu's move.
Because the ancients were like this, they believed that loyal ministers must come from filial sons, and if they are not filial, they will not be able to serve the ruler. So this filial piety is very important. And Yang Shanlu now treats her mother to her filial piety, which is even more correct for Chongzhen's taste.
Then Chongzhen sighed: "Yang Aiqing, although you and I have met for the first time, it was the first time we saw each other, and the monarch and the ministers met each other. I hope that in this troubled world, you can continue to escort me, Daming, and create a bright and sunny day!"
"Yes-"
Finally, Chongzhen said: "Yang Aiqing, you will go to the temple with Yang Lao Aiqing tomorrow, when your father and son will be heard together, this is also a good story!"
After finally leaving the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, the two of them were very happy, especially Yang Sichang, this excitement... He had expected that Chongzhen would slap Yang Shanlu heavily, but he did not expect to have such a favor! Not only did he personally give the form, but also invited the two to go to the royal banquet together! This kind of grace... haha.
However, Yang Shanlu did not forget to remind him: "My father, just now the emperor Jinkou Yuyan, sealed my mother as the fifth-grade holy fate, then when will you pick her up?"
"You child, this is between me and your mother, and you have to talk more!" Yang Sichang glared at him pretendingly, but then he said: "Don't worry, I have owed a lot in the past. You mother and son, so now that the emperor has this sentence, I will surely let your mother stop being wronged."
With Yang Sichang's words, Yang Shanlu felt relieved.
Then when the two of them walked out of the White Jade Palace in the Forbidden City, they suddenly saw a three-grade civil official walking towards him. This civil official was about sixty years old, with a square face and a pale beard on the temples, but his body was quite straight. There is a sense of righteousness.
It's just that after seeing this civil official, Yang Sichang frowned and said softly to Yang Shanlu: "The ugly thing is here, let's avoid Lu'er!" (End of this chapter)
