Early the next morning, Princess Lirong'an was the heir of the emperor's decree and the empress dowager of the two palaces withdrew the curtain and returned to the government, and at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The "boots" finally landed, black and white, the holy oracle was brilliant, up and down the government and the field, and there were countless stars, flickering more vigorously against the dazzling bright moon - Prince Xuan.

In addition, although the name of the "Hongxu" era will not be officially announced until the enthronement ceremony is held today; The etiquette of the imperial husband will not be issued until after the official enthronement of the emperor today, and the "edict" will be issued and finally determined, but the relevant news will be "officially leaked" together with the above-mentioned Ming decree and holy decree.

This can be understood as "warming up", "building momentum", or "testing the water temperature" -- in case there is really any overly strong opposition, there is still time to "fine-tune" before the official announcement.

Of course, such worries are unnecessary.

Although, in private, many people think that if I am called to pick it up, I will definitely be able to take a louder and more magnificent year name, however, "Hongxu" is stable and stable, and there is nothing to pick on itself, not to mention, most people understand that there is a meaning of "Mingshen Tongxu", so on the table, no one dares to open his mouth and criticize indiscriminately.

The controversy mainly focused on the etiquette of the imperial husband.

The controversy is not opposition, and even if there are those who disagree, they will never make a war in this kind of thing - otherwise, they will shoot the bow left and right, and hit the emperor and the emperor in the face together.

The topic of controversy is: this "into the straight, the audience, the promise of military uniforms; Banquets, ceremonies, and military uniforms", is the etiquette of honoring the emperor? Or is the imperial husband himself "humbly retreating and inviting himself to be subdued"?

is obviously a "minister who does not kneel", but it is actually interpreted as "modest retreat, self-indulgence", this is really called "the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable".

Those who hold the latter view have seemingly good reasons:

Prince Xuan's military uniform is sage, this is the righteousness of the ancients' "crossbow precursor".

The so-called "crossbow forward" is the etiquette of the magistrates of the Han Dynasty to welcome the Son of Heaven, that is, to carry bows and arrows and open the way in front.

By extension, the trick of "negative crossbow precursor" is not only between monarchs and ministers.

For example, Sima Xiangru worships the Zhonglang general, builds a festival to make the southwest Yi, to Shu, Shu Taishou follows the suburbs to welcome, the county order bears the crossbow arrow pioneer, and the Shu people think it is favored.

Again, Huo Quai's attack on the Huns, Hedong was too guarded to meet the crossbow.

In short, it means to show special respect for the person who greets you.

Those who hold this view say that military uniforms are equivalent to "crossbows"; Prince Xuan wears a military uniform, which is equivalent to a "negative crossbow". Originally, the emperor and the imperial husband could be regarded as "enemies", but Prince Xuan was in the position of a magistrate before the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning, there were not too many people who held this view, but the more they went on, the more they went, because, in the minds of these people, the military uniform was not a formal official uniform, and the status was not as good as the court uniform.

This point of view has both advantages and disadvantages for Guan Zhuofan.

The advantage is naturally to ignore his "not kneeling" and "not subservient"; The disadvantage is that his "clothing revolution" has not officially begun, and it has been slightly discounted.

But that's all for later.

"Official leak" belongs to "official leak", however, some people have time to ponder what tricks are hidden in the imperial husband's etiquette, and some people don't have time to think about the east and west - for example, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wan Qingquinoa.

Since the emperor's decree has been revealed, the immediate priority is the enthronement ceremony of the heir emperor - the enthronement ceremony is mainly handled by the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, although the enthronement ceremony was important, it was not difficult to do, because everything had a precedent to follow, but this time it was different!

This time, it was the female emperor who ascended the throne!

Don't say anything else, let's talk about the dragon robe and the crown - style, color, what is the difference between this female emperor and the male emperor?

Also, after all, she is a female emperor, and the "imperial appearance" is on the top, so can you ask the ministers to pay homage at will? Do you want...... This, well, is covered?

There is no precedent.

These problems, before today, Wan Qingquinoa had been thinking about them repeatedly in his heart, and he had already had a belly case-

That is: I didn't make my own opinions on everything that could be discussed, and I went to ask Prince Xuan for advice -- we must not give him the impression that I am "specialized," let alone take measures that do not like him.

So, as soon as "Mingfa" came, Wan Qingli sent an official to enter the palace and ask Prince Xuan about his schedule, saying that the official of the Yamen had urgent business and wanted to ask the prince to show him.

In such a hurry, it is rare, the military aircraft Zhang Jing said, the prince said, he always has to have lunch at the military aircraft today, so he can be on duty, so please Wan Lotus Weng is not on time, enter the palace to meet at the military aircraft.

Wan Qingquin arrived at the military aircraft one moment ahead of schedule, and waited for nearly two quarters of an hour in the military aircraft Zhangjing Zhilu before Prince Xuan summoned him.

Prince Xuan's reply was much more than Wan Qingquinoa expected.

"Lotus Root," Guan Zhuofan said, "there is nothing to be embarrassed about, everything is as it is." ”

Wan Qing Quinoa was stunned, "Success? ”

"Yes, the rule."

Didn't the prince understand what I meant?

"Lord Wang," Wan Qing said thoughtfully, "There are some things that are not precedent, such as the dragon robe, the crown, this, uh, there is a difference between men and women......"

"Lotus Root," Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "Of course, there is a difference between men and women, but what is the 'other' between the emperor and the emperor?" ”

Wan Qingquinoa's brain, with a "buzz", the cold sweat on his back came out!

Today's succession system, what has been repeatedly emphasized is that it is the "blood heir" of Wenzong, that is, the qualification of "heir", that is, ...... Eliminate the difference between men and women!

What else do I say "there is a difference between men and women"!

I...... Alas! How ridiculous!

Huan Hai has been in the sea for many years, and he can't even think of this on such a big joint!

"Yes, yes!" Wan Qingquinoa's voice trembled, "The prince's admonition, I understand!" I...... Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

"Lotus Root," Guan Zhuofan smiled, "It's not that serious—you're probably thinking, this ...... Male dragon and female phoenix, today's dragon robe, crown, should we subtract two dragons and add two phoenixes? Well, this is also your kindness, and it is also human nature, and it is not strange. ”

paused slightly, "However, the term 'male dragon and female phoenix' is actually wrong, the correct statement should be 'Emperor Dragon and Queen'!" This 'phoenix' must be added, hehe, it should be added to me, just right. ”

Wan Qingqu was sweating, "Yes, yes!" The prince is from a high position, and the finger painting understands, I ...... I get it thoroughly! ”

"It's good to understand!"

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "However, what I just said, adding 'phoenix' to my body is a joke, lotus root, don't really add two 'phoenixes' for me!" Hahaha! ”

"Yes, yes! ……”

Wan Qingqu nodded and laughed together, wiping the sweat from her forehead, not knowing what to say.

"As for the 'Imperial Rong'," Guan Zhuofan said, "in the future, we may have to learn the English method, and cast the 'Imperial Rong' on the new money, and everyone in the world, Chinese and foreigners, can see it clearly!" What is there to hide from this enthronement ceremony? ”

The royal face of today...... Minted to new money?

Wan Qingquinoa's heart jumped, but he didn't dare to ask more, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!" ”

"In short," Guan Zhuofan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "everything is as usual!" ”

*

Zhang Jing of the military aircraft said to the official of the Ministry of Rites that Prince Xuan "must have lunch at the military aircraft before he can be on duty", in fact, it was not until after Shen Zheng - at four o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Zhuofan finished the business at hand and left the palace.

"Don't go back to the North Street," he instructed Turin, "go directly to the Little Suzhou Hutong." ”

Early in the morning, I sent someone to inform Princess Dunrou, saying that after the prince was on duty today, he would come to the small Suzhou Hutong.

However, when I arrived at the small Suzhou Hutong, it was greatly unexpected.

Princess Dun Rou is not in the mansion.

Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but be stunned.

Along the way, he was "cultivating emotions", and now-

"Back to the prince's words," the housekeeper said with a low eyebrow, "Prince Gong Fujin is not happy, and the princess went to Fengxiang Hutong to say hello." ”

"Ah......h

Guan Zhuofan was relieved, and then asked, "Prince Gong Fujin is sick?" Is it serious? ”

I thought to myself, should I also go over and say hello?

Thinking about it again, no, although Gong Wang Fujin is his real mother-in-law, but at the top of the patriarchal law, she is his "sister-in-law" - face-to-face, she can only be called "sixth sister-in-law". In this case, there is no reason for the "sister-in-law" to rush to "greet her" if she is not feeling well--unless the "sister-in-law" is critically ill.

"Uh......" the butler hesitated, "it shouldn't be very serious—the people from Fengxiang Hutong didn't come here to report 'safety', uh...... It was to come and deliver something, and the princess asked, so ...... said. ”

Guan Zhuofan's eyes jumped.

That is to say, it is not a serious illness at all, and it is not even a serious illness, at most it is a little nasal congestion and a cold, and a few sneezes.

Of course, even so, the mother and daughter care, and it can't be said that Princess Dunrou is doing something wrong.

"When did the princess pass through Fengxiang Hutong?"

"Well, about ...... It's not just two moments. ”

Before the second quarter - half past two o'clock in the afternoon, he was Shen Zheng - four o'clock in the afternoon, during which it was a full hour and a half.

In fact, Princess Dunrou had plenty of time to send someone to inform her husband that she had "returned to her parents' house", but she didn't do it, why?

"Lord Wang," the housekeeper looked at Guan Zhuofan's expression and said cautiously, "Do you want to ask someone to deliver a letter to the princess and say ...... The prince has already arrived? ”

"No need," Guan Zhuofan looked as usual, "The two of them, it's hard to see each other, let them have a good chat!" ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

"Miss Xi and Mama Ma also went along, right?"

"Miss Xi" is Xiaoxi.

"Yes."

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said no more.
