Bright Spring

At first he didn't know it was a dream, he thought he had woken up from his nap and was walking to the palace hall, but he felt something was wrong.

The hall and the dragon chair are all things he is familiar with, but the main hall is very smoky, as if there was fog at night, and it seems that it is still early in the morning.The faint blue light and the white mist on the ground made him feel chills all over.

It turned out to be like the palace of the King of Hades!

At this moment, a few people walked in the fog.When Zhu Di saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat. The ones walking in front were Taizu and Emperor Jianwen!

Emperor Jianwen said: Grandfather, it was my fourth uncle who took my throne.

Taizu glared at Zhu Di: Come down, that seat is not for you!

Emperor Jianwen said: "Have you heard what the emperor's grandfather said, come down quickly!"You are not qualified to sit on the throne, it should be mine.

Zhu Di wanted to refute, but I, Jing Nan, just listened to the precepts of the great ancestors.But he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, and he was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, two more people came over, one was his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, and the other was his second son Zhu Gaoxu.

A group of civil and military ministers came from behind. When the civil officials saw Zhu Gaochi, they knelt down on the ground and only worshiped Zhu Gaochi.Everyone ignored him, Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was furious and wanted to say: I am still sitting on the throne, what do you mean?Hot!I just sat in this seat, my ass is not hot yet, why are you so anxious?

But he was still speechless.

The second son Gao Xu came over, and Gao Xu suddenly pulled out a sword and said, "Father, I have made such great contributions, and I have won the whole world. Why don't you give up the throne?"

Zhu Di was already furious, he stepped back and pointed at Gao Xu, but Xin Dao's son actually pointed a weapon at Lao Tzu?Do you want to rebel? It's against the sky!

... "Come here!" Zhu Di suddenly sat up. "My lord, the servants are here." A voice came from beside my ear.

Zhu Di opened his eyes, and saw the sunlight streaming in from between the window lattices, and the surrounding was peaceful.Where is the fog?None of the group of people just now disappeared.There were only a group of eunuchs and court ladies standing in front of them.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and immediately realized that it was just a dream.

"Call Hu Wei to see me!" Zhu Di immediately issued an order.

An eunuch said: "Your maidservant leads the order." After saying that, he stepped back and walked to the door of the room, then turned around and walked out quickly.

That Hu Wei was originally the householder of the Jianwen court. After the Jingnan army entered the city, he took the initiative to vote, and secretly reported to the emperor: Puqia, the chief recording monk, caught fire in the Fengtian Hall and went to the palace. It is suspected that Puchao contacted Emperor Jianwen and helped him escape. up.

Zhu Di was pacing up and down the room with his hands behind his back when the eunuch Zheng He entered.

Zhu Di suddenly said again: "I heard that Zhang Fu's younger sister is very beautiful?"

Zheng He was stunned for a moment, and said: "Although I haven't seen it before, I have heard about it. Xin Anbo (Zhang Fu)'s sister is beautiful and beautiful, she is beautiful and intelligent, and she is knowledgeable and courteous."

Zheng He's expression was a bit weird, because he seemed to know one thing...During the Jingnan War, Jinshang had verbally agreed to ask Zhang Fu's sister to be his son's side concubine.Because the time for observing filial piety has not yet come, no one has mentioned this matter.

And I heard that Zhang Fu's younger sister seems to be very ordinary...

But Zheng He is a knowledgeable person, whether he knew about it or not, he certainly doesn't know about it now.

"Hmm..." Zhu Di nodded after listening, and continued to walk back and forth in the room.

After a long time, an eunuch said: "I report to the emperor, the Ministry of Household Affairs has summoned Hu Wei to have an audience."

"Let him come here to see me." Zhu Di said.

Not long after, Hu Wei came to this office room that Zhu Di randomly found. He knelt down first and got the imperial decree of "flat body" before standing up.

This Hu Wei is a young man in his 20s, with a Jinshi background.Zhu Di also had some doubts about whether the young man deliberately informed Pu Qia in order to gain a higher position.

But it is also possible that Hu Min told the truth. After all, the courtiers only knew that Emperor Jianwen had "self-immolated", and no one said that Emperor Jianwen had escaped.Hu Wei insisted that Emperor Jianwen ran away, and he was speaking in front of the emperor, so he probably knew something inside.

"Pu Qia hasn't confessed yet?" Zhu Di asked directly.

Hu Wei bowed and said: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, Puqia's confession is unclear, and there has been no progress. I dare not use torture. Because Puqia has an old relationship with a certain eminent monk, I just learned about it, so I have to be cautious. Kuang Puqia It is the only clue at present, and I am afraid that he will have something wrong, and this matter will be even more difficult."

"You mean Yan?" Zhu Di asked.

Hu Wei was silent for a moment, not daring not to answer, so he clasped his fists and said, "Exactly."

Zhu Di asked, "Did Daoyan greet you?"

Hu Wei said: "Hui Sheng said, no."

"Hmm..." Zhu Di made another noncommittal voice from his nose.After a while, he said again: "It's not just Puqia. Mrs. Ma is still in the palace. I asked someone to change her place. You can come in and out to inquire."

Hu Mei said, "I understand."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, hurry up and don't procrastinate."

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "I dare not, I thank you and leave."

Chapter 169

/ P>

After the sound of the Youshi drum, the officials of the Yamen Office were on duty, and the emperor was about to return to the harem in the imperial chariot.The official duties of the day are coming to an end, only the eunuchs and maids of each palace have to continue working in rotation.

There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, but the emperor is hardly seen.In the past few months, Zhu Di either slept alone or stayed with the empress at night, and never spent the night in other concubines' rooms.

Empress Xu Xian, occasionally persuades the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew.Zhu Di then summoned the other concubines to stay in bed, and they were taken away when they were done, but still no concubines were left to stay overnight.

Today Zhu Di had just passed the Qianqing Gate, so he ordered the team to go straight to Kunning Palace, still looking for Empress Xu.

Empress Xu has just been canonized as a queen, and she is very happy to move into Kunning Palace.But Zhu Di knew that she would get bored soon, just as he was tired of living in the Qianqing Palace... The main hall is too big and a bit damp, it looks domineering, but it is not suitable for daily life.

When Zhu Di arrived at Kunning Palace, he walked up the stone steps and saw the Queen coming to greet him and salute.Standing at the entrance of Kunning Palace, one could see empty brick floors all around. The main hall stood in the middle, and countless eunuchs and maids on duty all knelt down and bowed down.

It really does feel like I'm the only one!But under the watchful eyes of everyone, since the emperor and empress represent the will of God, everything must be paid attention to.That's why Empress Xu is very respectful, which makes people feel very alienated.

The two walked into the main entrance of Kunning Palace, and there was a big chair directly facing the gate. The bed was placed next door, which could be seen from the window, and it was also very big.Walking here, I still have a vague feeling that I have to go to court to work... The same is true of the Qianqing Palace, so when Zhu Di is not working, he would rather stay in the East and West Nuan Pavilion than go to his bedroom to do the Qing Palace.

Zhu Di was the emperor, so he sat down on the big chair in the middle, and asked Empress Xu to sit beside him.The maid immediately came up with tea and snacks.

At this time, Empress Xu said: "I met Guo Ming's second daughter, Mrs. Guo, at the family banquet that day, and I liked it very much. Mrs. Guo was fourteen years old, just in time, with a clean family background. Female. She looks like a gentle and virtuous person, dignified and beautiful, with shaved shoulders, jade-like skin, red lips and white teeth, beautiful hands, like peeled spring bamboo shoots, which makes people very happy to see.

The Holy Majesty also approved of this marriage before. I saw Mrs. Guo that day, and I was so happy for a while, I made my own claim and talked with Mrs. Guo Xu.Guo Xu also had no objection. "

Zhu Di said with a smile on his face: "I know you've been anxious for a long time. Since the queen likes it, I certainly agree."

"How can a mother not be anxious about this matter? Gao Xu is 19 years old and has never married. Every time I think about this, I always feel sorry for not fulfilling my mother's responsibility." Empress Xu said, "My Majesty Approved, I want to send someone to ask Ming Nace as soon as possible, so that this matter can be handled as soon as possible."

She pondered for a moment, and then said: "Gao Xu didn't come at the family banquet; originally I wanted to take the opportunity of that day to let him see it too... It's okay if I can't let him see it now. I asked him before." Excuse Gao Xu, Gao Xu said that this matter is all up to parents."

Zhu Di didn't have any opinion on all of this, but at this moment he said: "Guo Shi's dowry, I will reward her, it must be generous."
