Chapter 887: Mother and son make a heart-to-heart, and there is a huge uproar

couldn't resist Zhu Ning's banter, and it was indeed too late at this time, Zhu Zhanji naturally wouldn't continue to stay here, and went out with Ruan Lang to meet Wang Jin, and immediately returned to the palace under the escort of a large number of brocade guards. A large number of people roared away from his side, and Zhang Yue also slipped through the back door of the county lord's mansion. Because it was too late at this time, the night ban was lifted in the city, and it was from the east city to the west city, Zhu Ning specially sent two escorts, and when Zhang Yue stepped into the house, it was already four and three o'clock (two and twelve minutes).

Zhang Yue went all the way back to his yard, only to find that the main house was still lit. When he entered the warm pavilion and saw that Du Juan had been helped by the girl to sit up, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "I don't know if I will come back tonight, why didn't I rest earlier?" You are a person with a double body, and you don't know how to take good care of it. ”

"The emperor is not such an unorthodox person, just go out of the palace in micro-clothes, if he still stays in his minister's house for one night, what is it like, not to mention that it is the mansion of the county lord." Du Juan asked the little girl to get a pillow for herself, and said with a smile, "Besides, it's not the first time I've been around, and now I have a good appetite and sleep well, I just woke up from sleep, and when I heard the movement, I sat up and took a look." Besides, if you really didn't come back, you would have sent a message a long time ago. ”

Zhang Yue was embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that he seemed to be too involved in the county lord's mansion just now, and he had already forgotten the time, if it wasn't for Zhu Ning's reminder, I'm afraid that the two of them would probably really talk about Tianming. He took off his cloak and gave it to the little girl on the side, and saw that she sent a copper basin with her hands and feet, and after mixing it with hot water, she washed her feet, so he sat at the head of the bed, and complained about the trouble of looking at the lanterns at night.

Du Juan just listened, and did not interject, and gradually found that the voice was low, and finally there was no movement, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, and it didn't take long for there to be an even breathing sound next to it. The little girl, who had been keeping her head down and busy, raised her head and exclaimed in a low voice that the young master was asleep, and then she understood, so she hurriedly ordered the little girl to go outside and call two people to come, and it took a while for the servant to lie down on the bed in the room. After such a toss, Zhang Yue didn't even blink his eyelids, but the snoring became louder and louder. Knowing that Amber Autumn Scar may not have fallen asleep, she inevitably let people know about it.

Although the court officials enjoyed a rare holiday, few dared to live a good life. It is said that the holidays are busier than usual, and they worship each other, make friends to find out the news, make mutual aid and help each other's horns, or exchange money for all kinds of elegant things to honor their bosses, and joke and laugh with Kabuki at church meetings...... The literati and scholars determined each other's circles through the indispensable human exchanges, and the nobles also consolidated their positions by turning over countless layers of in-laws. As for the current emperor, after leaving the palace on the day of the Lantern Festival, he never stepped out of the palace gate again, and rested in Renshou Palace for several days.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang's illness is still far from being cured, it is still a great improvement compared to the previous time when she was drowsy and unconscious, so that Dr. He received a large reward, but he insisted on refusing to stay in the hospital. After diagnosing the pulse at this time, he turned around and kowtowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "Back to the emperor, the queen mother's illness has improved, and then the grass people have to change the prescription." ”

Zhu Zhanji only nodded, and then motioned to Suo Lianzhou, the eunuch of the imperial pharmacy, and the two imperial doctors to follow. When everyone was gone, he sat down on the brocade pier at the head of the bed, and whispered, "Does the queen mother feel better?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang pillowed the pillow of the golden python, and said in a flat tone: "It's much better, and I can see people in a few days." I also want to meet the junior and the fifth, after all, they may have to be a feudal clan after the year. Besides, now that you have returned to Beijing, I don't have to hide my affairs anymore. Let's just say that the crown prince has been cured, and I occasionally feel a cold, so that no one will think that there is something wrong with the prince. ”

Although he originally wanted to try his best to hide the previous incident from the Empress Dowager Zhang, there were too many people such as Fan Hong, Jin Ying, Zhong Huai and others who knew the inside story, Zhu Zhanji thought about it again and again, but after all, he still couldn't cover the truth. At this moment, in the face of this clear and relieved answer, he couldn't say what it was like.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"You brothers, it is extremely difficult for the children to breathe, otherwise, when this eldest son of yours is born, I will not agree to the amnesty of the whole world. The Sun family was raised in front of me, and it stands to reason that the queen came later, and I should have preferred the Sun family, but she was too similar to Guo Guifei back then, with the same lively temperament, the same dexterity and charm, and the same coveting of the posterior. Junki, I know you've had the idea of abolishing it, and in the past, as long as you didn't say it, I would have treated it as if it wasn't like that, but this time, ......"

The more Zhu Zhanji listened, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but stand up, lifted up his clothes and knelt down in front of the bed: "Queen Mother, I will never dare to have such thoughts." ”

In the past, there may have been, but now, although he wants to keep the woman he loves, and he also wants to believe that she will never do such a thing, but until now he has not set foot in the Yongning Palace, which is naturally enough to show the restlessness in his heart. At this moment, he lowered his head and looked at the dragon and phoenix patterns on the rosewood bed frame, and even felt a little dazed for a while.

"If you want to talk about the Sun family, I know, if you have that heart but not that courage, just like Guo Guifei at the beginning, her mind will only be on men, if you want to harm me, she doesn't have the courage and scheming. For the sake of her being the biological mother of the crown prince, there is no need to pursue her this time, so as not to shake the country's foundation. However, I don't want to see her again, and don't let her come to Renshou Palace again in the future! ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang's tone suddenly became extremely harsh, and after seeing Zhu Zhanji's astonishment, she nodded heavily, she closed her eyes tiredly, and asked after a while: "I heard that you went to A-Ning on the day of the Lantern Festival?" ”

When Fang Ling escorted Zhu Zhanji back to the palace, he frankly said that he would explain the matter to the Queen Mother, so Zhu Zhanji was not surprised, and after admitting it, he honestly said that he went to sit upstairs in Qiongfang, guessed the lantern riddle, and met Zhang Yue again. Sure enough, although Empress Dowager Zhang blamed him for not wearing the white dragon fish suit, she didn't blame him too much, but praised Zhu Ning again.

"I know that you have rewarded A-Ning since you came back, but in order not to be too picky, you don't dare to overdo it, but in private, you should really compensate A-Ning more. Her marriage was delayed by Emperor Taizong, and later the eldest was not small, so he was disheartened. If it weren't for her this time, the palace would have been chaotic a long time ago, and it stands to reason that the reward would not be too much, but she was extremely polite, and she hid at home under the pretext of illness. She mentioned the matter of Rujun and Ruyun to me, and she didn't want them to enter the royal family genealogy, but I didn't agree to it at first, but now that I am sick, I thought about it carefully, and decided to agree to him. You tell her about this, and she will definitely accept your affection. ”

For the people, being able to enter the royal family genealogy undoubtedly means glory and wealth, but this is a tight spell for the children of the clan. With Zhu Ning's ability, he will definitely be able to teach the child very well, once he enters the genealogy, even if the child is crowned the county lord in the future, he will be idle for the rest of his life, and if he does not enter the genealogy, it will inevitably be said that the blood of the royal family will flow outside. At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang opened her mouth to settle the matter, and Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, I will do this later, it's just the child's surname......"

"The surname is naturally still the surname Zhu, so it should be taken as the mother's surname, and then let them recognize your uncle and them as godparents." Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and then patted the bed gently, "Okay, don't kneel anymore, sit up." Tell me, you have stayed in the county lord's mansion in Aning for so long, and you have talked to Zhang Yue for an hour and a half, what have you discussed? ”

Since Empress Dowager Zhang was still recuperating, Zhu Zhanji could only explain the general idea concisely. Although he respected his mother, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would carry this matter forward no matter what, he was naturally not as good as Emperor Taizu who abolished the six ministries of the prime minister, nor as good as Emperor Taizong who set up a cabinet, but if the sutra feast was turned into the form that Zhang Yue said, it also means that the usual requests for straightforwardness due to special cases can be extended to a considerable extent.

Zhang Yue was right, originally, the feast was not just a lecture!

Empress Dowager Zhang did not immediately put forward her own suggestion, but looked at Zhu Zhanji thoughtfully, and seeing that his face was firm, the objection that came to her mouth gradually swallowed back, and then closed her eyes. I think that when Zhu Gaochi was still the crown prince, he stayed in Beijing to supervise the country, but he would not avoid her on all major matters, so after ascending the throne as the emperor, she also continued the habit of being the crown princess in the past. Now that I think about it, he was desperately indulgent at that time, and he was quite distant from her rather than respectful of her, and why wasn't it because of her strong and self-reliant personality, why not because she suggested state affairs?

Since she is the Son of Heaven, she will not think about Qiangang's arbitrariness, and instead of being by her side all the time, it is better to stretch it out when she needs it most. She has no husband, does she have to lose her son?

After Empress Dowager Zhang opened her eyes, her expression returned to her usual calmness: "You are the emperor, since you have decided, I won't say anything." However, consider everything carefully and do not be arbitrary. As for Zhu Jihuan, the king of Ninghua, he was more severe, and he couldn't let everyone learn to enter Beijing to change. The matter of the Jin Domain was resolved as soon as possible, after all, even Emperor Taizong regretted that he should not have listened to and believed partially, and wronged Meigui's father and son. ”

Since Empress Dowager Zhang did not object, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, as for the matter of the Jin Domain, he was already holding back the evil fire in his belly, so naturally he would not refute it. After leaving the warm pavilion, he summoned a few eunuchs who stayed in Renshou Palace to ask carefully, and when it was Cheng Jiu and Cao Jixiang's turn, he looked at it carefully, and said a word to Wang Jin before leaving.

"This time, the two of you can also be regarded as meritorious, Wang Jin, you will inform Fan Hong when you go back, one is promoted to the right young eunuch of the celebrant supervisor, and the other is promoted to the right eunuch of the celebrant eunuch."

Today's celebrant does not have the right to approve Zhu, but the rank of the celebrant is extremely difficult to promote, but everyone in the internal officials has a number, therefore, the two of them are so happy that they even forgot to thank them, until they saw the emperor go out, they both knelt on the ground, and only got up until they were out of sight, glanced at each other, and went to work without saying much. After all, they have been together for a long time in the past few days, and they all know that each other is a careless and attentive person, so it is naturally difficult to have any deep friendship.

The Jingwei Forbidden Army and so on were rewarded a year ago, and although the officials in the palace waited until after the Lantern Festival to wait for those promotions and rewards, they were all happy. Although Lu Feng, who was in charge of the East Factory, was depressed because his former subordinates climbed to Pingping, he was the same as Fan Hong Jinying, who had been punished and reprimanded before, and he was also compensated by the Son of Heaven before the end of the holiday - each gave a house and a silver medal. In addition to this good thing, the Son of Heaven also asked the three of them to list the plan together with the royal eunuch Wang Jin in the name that the eunuch Twenty-four Yamen needed to be rectified.

But the change of lieutenant officials is naturally negligible for the courtiers. Because, at the first court meeting after the Lantern Festival, the affairs of the disciples of the Son of Heaven were finally officially put on the table. And at this moment, it was just before Zhu Taikan, the prince of King Lu, and Zhu Youjiao, the king of Zhou Fanxiangfu, were preparing to leave Beijing. It stands to reason that there is nothing surprising about this, but although the imperial court did not say it explicitly before the incident in Jingshi, after all, it can't help people's speculation, so the fiefdoms of these princes have become a hot topic.

"It should have been sealed a long time ago, the small ones are seventeen or eighteen, and the big ones are in their early twenties, so it is naturally easy to have an accident if you blindly stay in Beijing. As early as when Xiantouren Temple was there, a fief had already been set, and it had dragged on for four years. ”

"However, thinking about these fiefdoms, almost all of them are extremely far away, no wonder the emperor couldn't make up his mind before. King Zheng is Fengxiang, King Yue is Quzhou, King Xiang is Changsha, King Jing is Jianchang, King Huai is Shaozhou, King Liang is Anlu, King Wei is Huaiqing, and the late King Teng is even Yunnan. After this time, God knows when the people will be edicted back. ”

"I've heard that not all vassal kings are vassals this time...... Hey, silence, Zhang Shilang is here. ”

Seeing the few whispering officials, they immediately avoided it, and went back to the secretary's room to do things, and Zhang Yue ignored it. Now there is no book in the Ministry of War, but he has to go to all deliberations, and he naturally knows what others are guessing. Among the kings who took up the vassal this time, the sick King Wei was naturally not among them, but it was unimaginable that King Yue was also left behind. Thinking of the forbidden clothes and ornaments that had been copied and inspected by the Jingying who had already rushed to Taiyuan before, coupled with the guards recruited by the Jin Domain in violation of regulations, as well as the half-dead former Jin King Shizi Meigui and others, the attitude of the important ministers of the Ministry towards the Jin Domain was naturally inclined to severe punishment. However, the extent of this severe punishment has not yet been decided.

It's just that the most important thing is the Hongwen Pavilion sutra feast three days later. At today's court meeting, the British public Zhang Fu has been ordered to know the scriptures and feasts, and at the subsequent meeting in the palace, Zhu Zhanji proposed to discuss state affairs in addition to the lectures at the banquet, but it caused a huge uproar, and the result will depend on three days later.
