After time travel, I became a talented lady
Chapter 111 Freedom
The prince went out on business and took away all the staff of the East Palace. The East Palace seemed empty. The princess sat on the warm stool, holding her belly with one hand, looking at the snow scene in front of the door, and also calculating the prince's itinerary.
The prince set out at Mao hour, and the snowy road was difficult to travel. Five hours had passed, and he was afraid that he would have arrived in Bingzhou.
Although the two of them didn't often talk to each other, and the prince treated her tenderly and considerately, they were pillow lovers after all, and they had a wonderful time rolling around on the bed together at night. She could still feel a bit of the prince's temperament. The prince was gentle and gentle on the surface, and he was a gentleman like jade, but in fact he had a temper. Domineering and perverse, rather cold-hearted.
Just like at night, when she cried and begged for mercy, the prince became more and more excited and couldn't control himself. He was completely different from the noble gentleman during the day;
Just like Concubine Lin, the two palaces often met each other. Besides the prince's indifference, he always had a sarcastic smile on his lips. After seeing her a few times, she suddenly felt eerie.
By doing this, he clearly knew that Jizhou was difficult and dangerous, and that he was going to make a name for himself, but he might also face enemies from both sides. His Royal Highness, wearing a moon-white thick robe with a bright scenery, held a cold sword in his hand and asked with a smile. She said, "Unfortunately, Gu Ruo died, what are you going to do?!"
What did she say then?
"Your Highness, you must not say such things. Your Highness is the crown prince of a country. How can something happen? Besides, my father has sent personal guards to accompany him, so there must be nothing wrong."
The smile on the prince's face gradually faded, revealing the coldness in his nature. He suddenly touched her face and asked coldly, "Gu Ruo is dead, what do you want?"
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and it took a while before she spoke, "I will wait until His Highness returns safely, and I will live and die with His Highness."
His Royal Highness seemed satisfied. He put away his cold anger and became gentle and considerate again. He gently touched her round belly and said softly, "Be good, wait until I come back."
After saying that, she left the East Palace without looking back. She stood on the steps and watched the prince leading a group of bodyguards and ministers as they walked out in a grand manner. The snowflakes reflected the golden crown, and she felt lost.
There was only one personal maid in the palace. Seeing her daughter's gloom and gloom, Mrs. , The prince is safe, and it is a good thing. This time, all the East Palace officials are brought with him. Your grandfather said that the prince is as stable as Mount Tai. You just need to be at ease and give birth to your grandson safely, so that our Xia family can survive for a hundred years."
The Crown Princess regained her composure and slowly recovered her thoughts, "Mom, can you and dad talk to each other sincerely?"
A faint blush appeared on Mrs. Xia's face, and she was a little embarrassed, "Hey, an old married couple depends on each other for life, what can you say from the bottom of your heart?! It's not like you don't know, dad, who spends all day reciting poems and painting, he does have romantic thoughts, but I’m just afraid of your grandfather.”
The Crown Princess refused. At this moment, she insisted on asking for an answer just like she did before she left the cabinet, "The closest relatives to the couple, the highest to the sun and the moon, I didn't understand before, and I still don't understand now. Mom, you and dad It’s been more than half my life, please tell me~”
Mrs. Xia was startled, surprised that her daughter said something like this, "What's wrong? Did you make the prince unhappy? Did the prince make you angry? Your grandfather has repeatedly warned you to serve him carefully. He is the king and you are the minister. You are the king." How could this mistake happen? Please talk to mother quickly."
The Crown Princess was also startled, and her mind stopped for a moment, that's right, why do you ask this, so what if you ask.
Madam Xia was extremely anxious and hurriedly urged the Crown Princess to ask, but the Crown Princess neglected to smile and said, "Nothing, I'm just bored and reading the book. Mother, don't worry."
Mrs. Xia wanted to ask again, but when she saw that her daughter was dignified and noble, bright and graceful, and the eldest maid on one side was holding her hands and standing solemnly, the palace was quiet, she felt a little weak in her heart. She quickly changed her smile and talked about the Xia family's newly born grandson. He coaxed the princess into talking.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Renzong also felt uncomfortable.
Of course, the prince is capable, but after all, it is his first time to go out on errands, and he still goes to the chaotic place of Jizhou.
He was the lifeblood of the late empress. Before she died, the late empress lay on his lap and said softly, "Da Lang, I am not lucky enough to be with you until old age. You have to take good care of our son. And Yi'er..."
Yi'er looks more and more like her.
Hey, I can't think about it. If I think about it too much, I'll cry.
"Debao, go to Concubine Xuan. She is the most knowledgeable and understanding. I feel more comfortable with her. I will ask the music department to arrange some music. There is nothing to do in winter, so it is time to drink and have fun."
Eunuch Debao was in great embarrassment. There was a snowstorm in Jizhou, and he already knew about the Ministry of Household Affairs’ fundraising at Zhangqiu Gate. The left prime minister also wrote a note to reduce the palace expenses and abolish a group of palace maids. Si Lechu happened to be in the same place. Where there are many redundant staff, His Highness the Prince has already been abolished by Zhu Pi. If you want palace dance music, you can only go to the Jiaofang Si. Renzong's sudden cramp makes him think of the Si Music Department!
He carefully told the story, and Renzong was stunned.
There were not enough oil lamps last night, which made him feel drowsy today, so forget it. How could he abolish the music department that relieves his loneliness?
The key is why not tell him? !
However, since he was the prince's subordinate, he could not dismantle the prince's ladder, so he reluctantly smiled and said, "Then call the Jiaofang Secretary, and the banquet will be placed in the side hall."
Debao glanced at Renzong, then cautiously said, "Today, a letter came from Yikun Palace. The imperial concubine has suffered from the cold and is not suitable to accompany her. Do you think?"
Renzong's heart was filled with worry, and even the flowers that explained the language were gone. Alas, the winter wind makes people sad.
"That's all, let's declare Zhu Chenggong."
The little eunuchs hurriedly set up in the side hall, and Nana came into the palace after being ordered to do so. They met unexpectedly with a group of capable ministers and officials in the cabinet.
Cao Lu frowned angrily. The cabinet was so busy that it never touched the ground, but Renzong was singing and dancing all day long. Alas! I hate that iron cannot become steel, hey!
The left minister called to the young eunuch, "Where is the emperor? I have something to report."
The little eunuch trembled, not daring to look at the face of the loyal minister of the Left Prime Minister, "I don't dare."
Cao Lu frowned even more. Since the last time he pretended to be ill and did not go to court, Renzong went to court for a few days obediently, and then stayed behind closed doors. The cabinet was helpless, and everything was reported to the prince, which was very clear. , The political affairs are going smoothly. Now the prince has gone to Jizhou to quell the rebellion for the sake of the country and the people. Renzong is sitting in the rear, so he should be more diligent. Well, no one has been seen all day long, and the cabinet is closed to the public!
The left prime minister also frowned, and the military strategist said that the soldiers and horses had not yet moved the food and fodder. The prince will arrive in Jizhou soon. Before that, the Ministry of Household Affairs must coordinate the matter of grain and grass. However, there is heavy snow all north of Yongping, which has frozen the water transportation. The grain and grass must be transported by car, so it is necessary to recruit labor from the people. At this time, the weather is It was freezing cold and the people were displaced. It was a good plan for the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide relief work, but Renzong never went to court, memorials were piled up in the palace without approval, government orders were blocked, and things piled up.
"I'll go to the same place as the singer." Zuo Xiang shook his head, feeling helpless towards Renzong.
Renzong was in the palace with his feet and head raised in anticipation of Duke Zhu Cheng's arrival. When he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door and the jingling of rings, he felt happy. Without waiting for the eunuch's report, he happily ordered Debao to open the door of the palace. His joy was palpable. ah.
The door opened slowly, and the little eunuch's report came loudly, "Shoufu Yan, Mr. Cao Ge, Mr. Wen Ge, and other ministers are here!"
Renzong's funny joy froze on his face, how could he welcome this group of old people! He quickly straightened his back and straightened his face, "What are you doing, my dear? It's a beautiful and sunny day today. Don't talk about national affairs. Why don't you enjoy the singing and dancing with me?"
Cao Lu and Wen Zhonghan stood aside with their heads bowed, small flames of wind and fury rushing around in their hearts, what are these words? You are the king! The past was turbulent, but you pretended to be deaf and mute, hiding in the harem's wine pond and meat forest, indulging in pleasure! You, you, hey!
The left prime minister was very calm and explained in detail why he came.
"Nonsense! You are the chief minister, and I have to tell you one by one about such a big thing! The prince's affairs are the most important thing, just do what's easy! How can it be delayed until now!" Renzong was really angry, the prince was his My darling, why can't I do this well? What's the use of them? !
After Cao Lu, his molars were gritted and he finally managed to hold back without saying a word. Wen Zhonghan's fingers turned white, hey, a king is not a king, hey, I miss the prince!
"How dare I act on my own initiative? Now that I have received the emperor's decree, I know what to do. I will leave." Zuo Quan was neither humble nor overbearing. He bent down to salute and was about to retreat.
Renzong also chewed his back molar. Why didn't he dare to be independent? He eliminated one of his palace bands. Why didn't he tell him in person? He was holding his breath, so his tone was a bit strange, "Mr. Wen, I have purchased some dance music, why don't you stay and enjoy it with me?"
Wen Zhonghan paused. He was honest, pedantic and upright. He considered himself a loyal and capable minister. He took "to establish a heart for the heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations" as his life purpose. He also admired the sages of all generations very much. The minister died in admonishment and his name has gone down in history, so he has a strong waist. Moreover, Renzong has always been a softie, and he is not afraid, so the sound of the urn is clear, and the words are clear, "Your Majesty, there is a snowstorm in the north. The people can't even dig up grass roots to eat. They will freeze to death and starve to death." Countless, why do you still have time to enjoy singing and dancing here? ! The prince takes the lead, so you should also be a parent and show consideration to the people, okay? Also, due to the reduction of expenses, in response to the order of the Crown Prince, unless it is a festival or entertaining foreign guests, the expenses for your dance and music will have to come from your private treasury. I respectfully retire~"
Renzong was blocked by this barrage of firecrackers. He hesitated to leave the shore, and could only be speechless!
Zuo Xiang and Cao Lu felt secretly happy, and exited the Qianqing Hall with respect on their faces. Cao Lu secretly gave a thumbs up when no one was paying attention!
Renzong felt bitter in his heart. He looked at the silent dancers in the hall, as if there was a big weight in his heart!
I'm so embarrassed today! If he waved the dancer to leave now, would it spread to the inner palace tomorrow? Renzong was afraid of those naysayers in the cabinet!
But if he hadn't left the table and the money had come out of his own private treasury, it would have been just as shameless!
Hey!
"Debao, tell me, am I too tolerant of Wen Zhonghan? He embarrasses me time and time again. Should I kill him?"
What could Grand Eunuch Debao say? His grimace and dry expression could only make Renzong calm down~
Renzong was feeling sad and sad, but Zhu Chenggong finally arrived belatedly~
Grand Eunuch Debao quickly opened the door and warmly welcomed Zhu Chenggong. Oh, here we are, Renzong's pent-up anger was helped by someone to dispel it!
While he was full of enthusiasm, he quietly waved away the dancing girl~
As soon as Zhu Chenggong saluted, the stool was brought over. As soon as Zhu Chenggong sat down, Longjing was served before the rain!
Zhu Chenggong glanced at Eunuch Debao, "Hey, this dog slave really has eyes today!"
Renzong also nodded, not bad, not bad, yo, I almost forgot the pain in my heart! Hurry up and pour out the bitter water~
"My dear, I really don't want to read the excerpts. I get a headache when I look at them, but those old guys in the cabinet keep forcing me! I don't want to go to court either. When I go to court, the ministers are so noisy that it's like falling into a hornet's nest; I want to After listening to a song and dance, they would bring out the prince to suppress me. How can it be unreasonable..."
Zhu Chenggong had a gentle face and listened patiently to Renzong's complaints like a resentful wife. When Renzong's mouth was dry, Debao quickly handed over a cup of ginseng tea. It was neither hot nor cold. It was just right. Why is this slave dog sleeping so well today? !
"Your Majesty, all the ministers in the cabinet have worked hard for the country and the people. You should reward them. The prince is the hope of the country. We have a prince in Daqi and can prosper for another five hundred years. You should be happy. As for you not loving me, Governance, have you ever thought about abdicating the throne and making way for the wise, becoming a happy Supreme Emperor, and traveling with your ministers to thousands of mountains and rivers in your free time?!"
Debao was so shocked that his eyes almost bulged out!
Oh my god, Zhu Chenggong said such things as tigers and wolves!
Debao quickly looked around the hall. Fortunately, he had just waved away the palace people and the dancers, leaving space for Renzong to complain. There were no outsiders at the moment, but to be safe, the children outside the hall door had to be beaten later. ! ! !
He then looked up at Renzong's face, and Renzong was indeed shocked. Oh, he just said, how dare Zhu Chenggong do such a rebellious thing!
Renzong was in a state of turmoil, and of course he stumbled upon his words, "You mean, the Zen position? It seems that Daqi has never had such a precedent! This, I'm afraid, will be bad for the prince's reputation..."
Debao was also shocked. Why did Renzong react like this? He shouldn't have said, "Bold, drag him out and chop him down! There is only one emperor, unless I die!"
As expected, Duke Chen Chen was still Duke Zhu Cheng. His expression remained unchanged and he talked and laughed happily, "What the prince has done is obvious to all the world. You also said that the cabinet also obeys the orders of the prince. What are you worried about?"
"What's more, as you become the Supreme Emperor, you don't need to be shackles by the Emperor. You can move to Huaqing Palace, drink, paint, and enjoy singing and dancing, and no ministers will write to you to admonish you!"
Renzong was shocked, "But if I am not the emperor, then I have lost my power!"
Zhu Chenggong raised his eyebrows, very puzzled, "You pursue art with me, paint and enjoy the scenery with me, why do you want power? Not to mention the prince's benevolence and filial piety, does anyone dare to disrespect you?"
"This, this, this does make some sense!" Renzong frowned and thought for a moment, "Ah ha, it is indeed a good idea. If the prince manages the government, those bad guys won't bother me anymore, but, This matter needs to be discussed in the long term and we will discuss it after the prince returns."
The more Renzong thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. He regarded himself as a literary artist, and he loved freedom all his life. Now that the prince had grown up, why should he be shackles? He made up his mind and secretly nodded at Debao, and Debao's spine trembled. He shrugged, held his breath solemnly, and saluted solemnly.
