It was still early spring when I left Beijing, but it was already autumn when I returned to Beijing.
Looking at the big and small sitting next to him, Zhu Yunxuan had a smile in his eyes, and his ups and downs finally settled down completely at this moment.
The imperial chariot stopped outside the Ganlin Palace, and Zhu Yunxuan took Min'er out of the car. The child was surprised to see everything, and could barely turn his eyes: "This place is so big and beautiful! Daddy, is this our home?"
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and touched his son's head. He used to think that the deep palace was deserted and lonely, no different from a cage, but now Min'er said that this is their home.
Well, their, home.
Liang Zhen stepped forward and picked up his son: "Come on, father, take the little one in and open your eyes."
Zhu Yunxuan left Beijing for more than half a year, the Ganlin Palace was completely renovated, the child was dazzled by seeing it, twisted his body and got off the ground, running around in and out, groping here and there, smiling happily.
Liang Zhen also had a lot of emotion, and joked with Zhu Yunxuan with a smile: "Who would have thought that my concubine would still have this blessing to come back here again."
Zhu Yunxuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took Min'er's hand: "Daddy will take you to see your bedroom."
Min'er's residence is arranged in the West Side Hall next to their dormitory. It has already been tidied up, and all kinds of decorations are embellished according to Min'er's preferences. There are birdcages hanging on the corridor and there are singing orioles. Mu Bingbing used to be solemn and solemn. Therefore, the cold Ganlin Palace has more childishness.
The nuns and eunuchs went out to greet the prince beamingly. They were all newly assigned to serve Min'er, and they had repeatedly screened clean, honest and capable people. Looking around, there were dozens of people in the dark, and Min'er was a little frightened by the posture in front of him, so she pulled Zhu Yunxuan's clothes and hid behind him. When he was in the General Military Mansion, there were many people serving him, but compared to now, it is still nothing, children are not used to being surrounded by so many people.
Zhu Yunxuan signaled Gao An to stay for everyone to lecture and explain the rules, then picked up Min'er and went inside.
The child had lost the previous interest, and hugged Zhu Yunxuan's neck sullenly, lying on his shoulder without saying a word, Zhu Yunxuan fiddled with the rabbit-shaped wind chimes under the window, and asked him: "Good baby, look at this, do you like it? "
Chu'er looked up, nodded, and lay down again.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled helplessly, Liang Zhen stretched out his hand to hug him, and scratched his son's little nose: "What's wrong with the little thing?"
The child's eyes were red, and he said aggrievedly: "I don't want a nanny, I just want a father and a father."
Liang Zhen was speechless, what if he really wanted to spank this brat's ass
Zhu Yunxuan hesitated and said: "Why don't we take Min'er to sleep for another half a month, after all, he just came back, he probably isn't used to it here, let's wait until he gets used to it."
Liang Zhen laughed and said: "It's almost four years old, it's fine if you don't go to the East Palace, and you have to lie on the dragon bed every day. I haven't seen any prince like this."
East Palace? It takes a quarter of an hour to travel by chariot from Ganlin Palace to the East Palace, throwing Min'er there, it is estimated that tomorrow they will have to sever the father-son relationship with them.
Min'er didn't know if she understood, she pursed her lips: "Father is bad, father doesn't want Min'er anymore."
Liang Zhen: "..." You little heartless.
Zhu Yunxuan couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Forget it, we owe him in the end."
So the matter was settled like this, and Yu'er has been living in the Xipei Hall of Ganlin Palace, and from time to time, he would disturb Zhu Yunxuan and Liang Zhen's night life of the empress, until he left the cabinet to give lectures at the age of twelve, and offered to move to the East Palace. , Of course, these are things for later.
On the second day after returning to the court, the emperor officially announced the appointment of the empress and the canonization of the prince at the court meeting, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a wedding ceremony and canonization ceremony on an auspicious day.
The whole thing is done, even now all the civil and military officials in the court know that the future Empress Xiao Nian is the Zhao Wang Liang Zhen who was executed for the crime of treason back then, but His Majesty said that he is Xiao Nian and he is Xiao Nian, His Majesty said that he will be established For the sake of empress Dayan, why bother jumping out at this time to annoy His Majesty for the sake of the head and the black hat, forget it.
After the early court ended, Zhu Yunxuan left the six cabinet ministers alone and summoned them to the Imperial Study Room. Waiting here was not only the emperor, but also the future empress who was showing off her might.
Liang Zhen stood behind Zhu Yunxuan, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the cabinet ministers who came in one after another with a half-smile. These people are the mainstay of the Dayan Dynasty and the pillars of the country. Those who were promoted to the cabinet, the other four were old faces.
While he was sizing up the other party, the people on the opposite side were also looking at him with complicated eyes. The three who accompanied Zhu Yunxuan and had seen him before the tour were better. The expressions of the other three, especially the first assistant, changed a few times. How ugly it is.
It's one thing to know it, but another to see it with your own eyes, not to mention that this Chief Assistant is also a close friend of Zeng Huai. Sitting in the position of chief assistant, remembering the past, and seeing the triumphant Liang Zhen in front of him, how could he not be annoyed.
Zhu Yunxuan was not ambiguous, and said straight to the point: "I have kept you here because I have something to tell you. The queen will also join the cabinet from tomorrow. He is still young and lacks qualifications. You should take it easy. I will come down later. imperial decree."
Several cabinet ministers are all dumbfounded, the queen into the cabinet? Skate the jokes of the world!
After looking at each other, the Chief Assistant was the first to raise an objection: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is full now, and the ministers are working hard for His Majesty and the court without any fault. May I ask Your Majesty what this means?"
Zhu Yunxuan said lightly: "Jiang Qing is serious. I don't want any of you to make room. The number of ministers in the cabinet was set at seven when our dynasty was founded, and it was changed to six after Emperor Taizong. Now I am just I just want to restore the old system."
"However, according to the old system established by the emperor Taizu, the harem cannot be involved in politics! The empress is the master of the harem, how can she re-enter the cabinet to mess up the government and make people laugh!"
The second assistant on the side also echoed: "Since the founding of the dynasty, no matter men or women, as long as they are married, they are considered as wives and wives. You can no longer show your face easily, and you can't go in and out of the court to become an official. The rules of the ancestors are bad. No way! Since the empress is an empress, she should be a role model in the harem to show respect to the world, spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, rather than entering the court to pay homage to the prime minister!"
Liang Zhen sneered, narrowed his pupils lightly, and looked at the two elders who were red-faced with malicious intent: "Mother Yitianxia? Open branches and leaves?"
The two opened their mouths, it was really hard to speak, who didn't know that the crown prince was born by His Majesty, but...
Zhu Yunxuan frowned, and said in a low voice after a while: "Since that's the case, let's change it. I will marry him, and the title of queen will also be removed. Ask the Ministry of Rites to look through the ancient books to see if there is any more suitable title. , in this way, it is not considered a breach of the ancestral system."
"No!" A few cabinet ministers were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground immediately, and begged Zhu Yunxuan weeping bitterly, "Your Majesty, you must not do this! You are the Son of Heaven! How can you marry someone else's wife! In this way, I will not marry you!" Where is the prestige of the country! Where is the majesty of His Majesty!"
Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunxuan to say such a thing, even if it was to frighten these cabinet ministers, he was satisfied.
For a while the two prime ministers were unwilling to back down, and the atmosphere in the imperial study became somewhat stalemate, until there was a burst of giggles from the apse.
Chu'er ran out from the apse, seeing Liang Zhen yelled "Father", and bumped into his arms with a smile profusely sweating.
Several little eunuchs led him to play hide-and-seek in the apse, and one of them let the little prince run out by himself without paying attention, and the servants chased him out, and knelt down on the ground to plead guilty.
Liang Zhen picked him up with a smile, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead. The child saw Zhu Yunxuan sitting behind the case again, shouted "Daddy", and twisted off Liang Zhen's body , ran to Zhu Yunxuan's side, and raised his hands to ask him to hug her.
Zhu Yunxuan had no choice but to pick him up and let him sit on his lap. The child tugged at the memorials spread out on the imperial case, reaching out to touch everything he saw.
Zhu Yunxuan pressed his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "Be good, don't move."
Only then did the child notice that there were quite a few people kneeling below his head, his eyes turned around, and he fell on the Shoufu who was looking up at him secretly, and he grinned: "This uncle's beard is about to fall off, okay?" Ugly."
Shoufu: "..."
This little idiot, Li'er, doesn't remember at all what Liang Zhen told him earlier that these people shouldn't be called Uncle. In his cognition, as long as it is a man with a beard, no matter how old or young, he will call him Uncle. This is the first time he saw Liang At that time, he had a scruffy appearance, so he was also an uncle.
As for the Chief Assistant in front of him, he has always been proud of his well-groomed beard, but he never thought that the beard was fake, he put it on by himself! Poor Mr. Shoufu's beard is still sparse in his old age, and he made this move because he was afraid of being underestimated. First, he cried a lot, then raised his hand to wipe his face, and the beard near his mouth was almost pulled off. He didn't realize it, and the people around him didn't remind him, but in the end, the childish little prince pointed it out.
Embarrassed and annoyed, the old Shoufu frantically glued his beard back on. Thinking that he would definitely become a laughing stock in the court when the news got out, he wished he could slam his head against the pillar of Ganlin Palace and let it go.
The colleagues all suppressed their laughter and lowered their heads, but Liang Zhen sneered unceremoniously: "Mr. Jiang Ge, who made your fake beard for you? I'm afraid it wasn't intentional to deceive you, right? It's really a shame to call you old Yuqian." It's too careless."
The old Shoufu was ashamed and angry, his whole body was listless, and he no longer had the slightest aggressive attitude, Zhu Yunxuan coughed lightly, suppressed the suppressed smile in his eyes, and lowered his voice: "The matter of entering the cabinet..."
The first assistant has been completely defeated and lost his soul. The second assistant looked at him several times, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he shut up wisely. It didn't squeeze them out, so what should I do
So the matter was settled like this, and the elders in the pavilion retired in a dispirited manner. Liang Zhen stepped forward, stretched out his hand across the imperial case and squeezed Min'er's chin: "You are really useful, you little bastard. It's not in vain to spoil you so much for your father."
Jun'er giggled: "Uncle is really ugly, and Jun'er doesn't like it."
