Chapter 69 Chick Chick Chick Chick

In June, after worshiping Empress Xu, His Royal Highness Li Lin officially ascended the throne in accordance with the imperial decree, and changed his name to Guangning.Guangning Emperor Li Lin obeyed his father Li Zheng as the Supreme Emperor and moved to Ningshou Palace.Zunqin's mother, Empress Chen, was the empress dowager, with a posthumous title.Empress Zunxu became the Empress Dowager and moved to Shou'an Palace.Empress Xu devoted herself to cultivating Taoism, praying for the late Weinan King, and staying behind closed doors.

It's not that the courtiers hadn't guessed the cause of Weinan King's death. In just two days, two princes were lost in the palace one after another, and then Emperor Jinghe was about to abdicate. Anyone had to guess.But Jing and Di, who are the fathers of the emperor, didn't say anything.Even if they wanted to speak, they lacked a stand.What's more, the new emperor was estranged from the empress dowager Xu, and quickly took Xu Shangshu's official position and replaced the cabinet members. Everyone felt a little bit concerned.

Li Lin stopped at the point, and did not start killing after the execution of He Lu and Shi Weizhong's traitors.Successive civil strife has already made Dazhao turbulent, if killing again, there is no guarantee that the foundation will not be damaged.Even Jinse from Kunning Palace, Li Lin just sent her out of the palace to reunite with her family because she had served him for many years.Of course, shadow guards are unavoidable.

Less than a month after succeeding to the throne, the new emperor presided over the funerals for the two princes himself.Li Yun, the king of Yanping, made great contributions in rescuing him, and he was named the king of Chu. He was succeeded by his eldest son Li Weizhen, and he became a vassal when he became an adult.Li Xiao, the king of Weinan, had not yet grown up, so he was only buried with the ceremony of the county king.

Tan Chang was also at the funeral, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the coffin of King Weinan being placed in the imperial mausoleum.Li Xiao is not an heir of the royal family, the tablet is placed in the Taimiao, and he will not receive incense when the descendants worship, so he can only be a lonely ghost.I don't know whether this is an honor for him or an endless punishment.In the past, the little boy who loved reading and obediently followed Li Lin to ask questions had grown up like this somehow, maybe that obedient boy never existed.

After all, it is the result of personal choice. After Tan Chang sighed, he stopped thinking about it.

Only Eunuch Gao and Emperor Jinghe were left alive in Qianqing Palace that day.Eunuch Gao was terrified, so he hanged himself with a three-foot white silk that night.Emperor Jinghe knew Tan Chang, and Li Lin also asked Tan Chang if he would like to be a national teacher.Although the state teacher is not favored by civilian officials, he has a high reputation among the people, and he is also a big force in influencing the government.However, Tan Chang refused, and he just said: "Mu Ze, your good reputation among civil servants is all because of your hard work. You want to be a wise king, and you can't have a national teacher under your command. Whoever it is, whether it works or not."

Li Lin just wanted to say that he didn't care, but Tan Chang quickly cut off his words: "Even if I am a civil servant, I have the ability to influence the government, you believe me. You can wait for three years, and 30 years is nothing."

30 years.This is a very long time in Li Lin's eyes.He is only 23 years old now, who knows what will happen in 30 years?He held Tan Chang's hand tightly, and swore word by word, "If I am not a wise king, you will destroy me."

Tan Chang couldn't help being moved, but he said: "Okay, I will supervise you every day."

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he quickly took over the government.Due to the excessive supervision of the country, Li Lin got started quickly, not to mention that the last shackles disappeared after Emperor Jing He abdicated.

Jing Hedi's body was indeed hollowed out, even if he stopped taking the elixir, it would be difficult to take care of him for a while.The imperial physicians also found it difficult, and after asking Li Lin for instructions, they prescribed some nourishing medicines, and let Jing and Emperor hang on for a while.

Before the funeral, Li Lin ordered someone to renovate the palace, and invited the new Princess Chu and King Chu to move in together.In November, Concubine Zhang gave birth to a son and died of dystocia.

Li Lin personally named him Li Jingzi, and ordered someone to carry him into the palace to take care of him.The ministers were discussing a lot, and they didn't know whether His Majesty simply pityed the heir of King Chu, or had the intention of adopting him.

Li Lin really had this intention.

"He lost his father when he was still in his mother's womb, and now he has lost his mother even more. After all, the concubine is not as good as his biological mother in taking care of him. What's more, there is a little prince to compare with. It is impossible for a bowl of water to be equal." Li Lin said to Tan Changxu explained.Looking at him like that, it seems that this is his illegitimate child, afraid that Tan Chang will not recognize it.

"If you look like this, people will not know who is the king and who is the minister." Tan Chang said a joke before saying: "I guessed what you mean, you also need an heir. It's best to keep it by your side since childhood."

What he didn't say was that Li Lin felt sorry for this child, and also meant to compare himself.In the past, Li Lin had lost his mother when he was young, and had no father to take care of him, so he was brought into the palace by Grand Tutor Tan.He hoped that this child could also have a slightly easier childhood.

Li Lin didn't say anything, but hugged Tan Chang tightly with his arms. "You are always good. Without you, I, the emperor, would not have much fun."

However, Tan Chang accepted it frankly, which does not mean that the courtiers did the same.After Li Jingzi was carried into the palace for two days, Elder Xu Ge joined the cabinet to write a letter, asking Li Lin to get married as soon as possible, and to be a queen, so as to secure the world.

Mr. Xu Ge made this calculation very shrewdly.Li Lin didn't speak out about the matter of adoption, so he didn't mention it either, he only talked about becoming a queen.If Li Lin still insisted on adopting and remarrying, this child would definitely become the future queen and a thorn in the eyes of the uncle.And if Li Lin got married first, and gave birth to his own child soon, would he still love this nephew so much?

As soon as the memorial was published, all ministers with daughters at home were eager to try.

Old Xu Ge's calculations were good, but it was a pity that he met Li Lin.

After Li Lin ordered someone to read the scripture at the Dachao Assembly, he dismissed it on the spot.The civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty said that Li Lin must hurry up and get married.And Tan Chang, who knew this character well, was not yet qualified to go to the court, and was participating in the revision of the Records in the Imperial Academy. He was so busy that he didn't know what happened at the court meeting.

"I'm sick, so I can't get married."

Li Lin sealed everyone's mouths with just six words.

Officials want to send their daughters to the palace because they want to win a fortune. They all know that they will not be able to give birth to dragon children. Who wants to let girls stay in the palace for the rest of their lives?

However, they were still shocked by Li Lin's frankness, and even had a tinge of sympathy: What can the emperor do?Don't they understand the matter of men?The majestic emperor was forced by his courtiers to admit that he did not want to move at the court meeting. This, this is... no less than a public execution.

However, Li Lin looked calm and composed. The more calm he was, the more the officials felt sorry for his forced calm.

Elder Xu Ge, who took the lead in writing the letter, had a big blush. After that, no one would shamelessly mention the selection of the harem, and Elder Xu Ge was the first to take the lead in verbal criticism.

With such a thing going too far, Li Lin made a decree to adopt the second son of the King of Chu, and even when he became the crown prince a year later, he went up and down without any objection.Those who didn't know still wanted to criticize, but they didn't hand over the papers, and they were taught a lesson by the Shangguan: Good boy, His Majesty has exposed his shortcomings, and you are still rushing to expose people's scars?

After Tan Chang heard what happened in the court hall, he grabbed Li Lin's robe and scolded him in the Qianqing Palace at night. "What on earth are you thinking? Do you know that this will cause turmoil? What will your father think? The third prince is still locked in the palace! Even if you really want to establish a prince, wait for two years before keeping your filial piety." ..."

"Okay, okay." Li Lin heard that the other party's words became more and more shameful, and he went around to say something, so he hurriedly stopped. "Okay, I know you love me. I don't care about reputation. What else do you care about?"

"Who loves you?" Tan Chang was still stubborn, and whispered: "I don't know if you really have a hidden disease..."

"It's not easy for you to come here, come and accompany Ah Sheng." Li Lin knew that the other party was thin-skinned, so he changed the subject in a few words.At the end, he added: "When you finish reading, I will let you take a good look to see if I have hidden diseases."

Raising a child is not easy, let alone a bachelor who has never married two wives raising a newborn.Although Li Lin hired maids and nuns who were skilled in medicine to take care of him in the Qianqing Palace, he always took Li Jingzi by his side.Li Lin still felt uneasy, and heard the folk saying that "a humble name is easy to support", so he deliberately gave the eldest prince in the palace a nickname "A Sheng", and no maids in the palace were allowed to call him "A Sheng". The eldest prince is all called by nicknames.Tan Chang was also led by him to be paranoid, afraid that if he was not in the palace someday and Li Lin didn't take care of him, Ah Sheng would be murdered, so he made a special trip to take pure dragon energy from Li Lin to protect Ah Sheng's body.

But Li Lin occasionally hates Ah Sheng.Ever since Qianqing Palace raised a child, Li Lin can no longer leave the palace with his temper.But Tan Chang refused to stay overnight in Qianqing Palace.After finally leaving him behind, Li Lin hadn't done anything yet, the child next door was crying, and Tan Chang instantly regained his energy.

"With Mammy watching, Ah Sheng will be fine." Li Lin held Tan Chang's thin and slippery waist and refused to let go.

"Is there such a father as you!" Tan Chang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Li Lin resigned himself to getting up and coaxing the little guy. Tan Chang, pressing on the dragon couch, vented his anger fiercely.

I don't know if it was their meticulous care or the nickname played a role, but in December of the first year of Guangning, the one-year-old Ah Sheng had become a fair and fat little boy.He was never afraid of people, he would smile when he saw people, and when he smiled, he would show a few small teeth that had just grown.I don't know if it's because children's kindness towards adults is obvious, but Ah Sheng and Tan Chang are extremely close.Every time Tan Chang went to Qianqing Palace, Ah Sheng always sensed it all at once, stumbling around, not crying when he fell, and bumping into his arms when he got up.

When Ah Sheng was one year old, Li Lin decreed that Li Jingzi's name should be included in the jade plate, formally canonize the crown prince, amnesty the world, and select officials from Zhan Shifu to teach the crown prince.

Tan Chang once persuaded him behind his back: "I know you are very knowledgeable, but you only studied with Mr. Tan when you were eight years old. Ah Sheng is still so young, so you are too impatient to choose the official of Zhan Shifu?"

Li Lin glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince who was holding the album and was babbling, snorted, grabbed Tan Chang's hand and pulled him to sit beside him. "You take me for the sake of letting him enlighten earlier?"

"Otherwise?" Tan Chang asked back.Sitting on an equal footing with the emperor is a crime of beheading no matter what dynasty he is in, but Tan Chang has already been familiar with it once.

"Of course not." Li Lin leaned forward as if sighing, and kissed Tan Chang's forehead. "Otherwise, how can I promote you and let this brat take care of you all the time?"

On the second day, Tan Chang received the imperial decree and became the left concubine of the Imperial Academy.

What Ah Sheng grabbed Zhou was Tan Chang's hand.And Tan Chang just put up books for His Royal Highness as the left concubine of Zhan Shifu, and was grabbed by people as soon as he waved his hand.The courtiers looked at each other, and Li Lin laughed loudly: "The prince is also going to be admitted in the imperial examination, so you want to be a candidate?"

The first word Ah Sheng learned was "Daddy".In order to please the emperor, the concubines often teach their children the first word father emperor.Li Lin felt that this word was too complicated to learn, so he insisted that Ah Sheng call him Dad first.The palace people of Qianqing Palace have long known their Majesty's nature very well, and they were happy to see His Highness the Crown Prince running around the palace, chasing and shouting after him with two short legs.

Li Lin's calculation was that when Tan Chang came, he could also hear Ah Sheng calling him father.Until one day Tan Chang and Yao Zhiyuan came together.Seeing A Sheng, Yao Zhiyuan took the initiative to kneel down and salute.Ah Sheng held the maid's hand, stepped forward swiftly, and called to the two of them, "Father—"

Li Lin's face was completely dark.

Since then, the young Crown Prince quickly learned a series of vocabulary such as "father", "father-in-law", and "adult".Of course, Li Lin told him that he could still secretly call Dad when he saw Lord Tan Chang.

Li Lin has never been drafted, and has no queen.The Supreme Emperor did not last until the first year of Guangning, and Li Lin obeyed the order and buried him with Empress Chen.The concubines passed away one after another, and gradually, the harem became empty.

However, the harem was not quiet, and the palace people could see His Majesty the Emperor taking His Highness the Crown Prince for a walk every day, while the scholar Tan was talking freely.Under the setting sun, the figure of His Royal Highness grew longer and longer.
