There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

It was a rare flower feast, and Shi Zhongzhu naturally gave it to his parents, uncles and aunts, his brother and sister-in-law, and his two younger siblings.

Wei Zhenniang became pregnant within two months of marriage, no one would say she is blessed.It is about four months old now, and the belly is still not visible, but Shi Zhongzhu’s idea of ​​protecting the pregnant woman has already taken shape, and he always pays attention to let her eat well, drink well, and be in a good mood. Influenced by the education of the previous life, the pregnant woman is like a giant panda. treatment.

Shi Zhongzhu personally came over with a plate of rattan cakes, and the little girl opened the curtain swiftly, saying, "Second master is here." Shi Zhongzhu nodded with a smile, entered the door, and found Wei Zhenniang leaning on the imperial concubine's bed listening to Qiu Ju reading.Wei Zhenniang is a lover of reading, but unfortunately she is pregnant, everyone from the Zheng family to the little girl who has not grown her hair, will chatter when she sees her reading, and reading hurts her eyes, body, and mind. Read it to her.

"Sit, sit." Seeing that Wei Zhenniang was about to get up, Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly stopped him, and sat sideways on the imperial concubine's couch where she was lying, and offered the plate in his hand: "I accompanied the prince to the Hundred Gardens today, and the vines in the garden were blooming just right. I made some wisteria pancakes, have a try~”

Wei Zhenniang smiled and took a small pancake from the rimmed white disk, biting into her mouth, there was a sweet fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and the sweetness went down her throat to her heart.

Seeing her expression, Shi Zhongzhu knew that the wisteria pancake was to her appetite, and said: "They say sour and spicy, what's the matter with your sweet food? Could it be that you are pregnant with twins?"

"Spoof!" Wei Zhenniang said angrily, "When my mother was pregnant with younger siblings, she didn't like sweets."

"Yeah, mother was so happy for me back then, but she didn't find out that she was pregnant. In the end, she paid homage to all the Bodhisattvas in Huguo Temple, and she didn't know until she was tired." Shi Zhongzhu remembered Zheng's excited look when he was just selected as a scholar.

"Poor parents in the world." Wei Zhenniang sighed.

Shi Zhongzhu stretched out his hand and gently stroked Wei Zhenniang's inconspicuous belly, filled with emotion in his heart.This is his blood, and it is the most direct proof of his existence in this world. No wonder so many people attach great importance to having children of their own. Shi Zhongzhu felt his heart beat and was extremely excited when he touched this child who could not yet be called an independent life.

Covering Shi Zhongzhu's hand with one hand, Shi Zhongzhu raised his head, Wei Zhenniang stared at him silently with affection in his eyes, and said, "I heard from my mother that the child will be able to feel the movement in a month."

"Really?" Shi Zhongzhu had never been married, so he didn't know much about such things, and thought that the fetal movement would take seven or eight months.

"Of course it's true. In fact, now I can vaguely feel the baby moving..."

"When, why don't I know!"

"How would you know? I can only feel it vaguely. After taking a bath at night, lying quietly on the bed, I will feel it, but you can't feel it yet. Wait a minute, wait a month, and you will feel it too." .” Wei Zhenniang pursed her lips and laughed.

Shi Zhongzhu handed the plate to Qiu Ju, waved back the servants, knelt down on one knee, put his ear on Wei Zhenniang's stomach, and listened quietly—boom!Boom!Shi Zhongzhu didn't know if it was Wei Zhenniang's heartbeat or the child's heartbeat, but hearing the touch of life made him reluctant to look up for a long time.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't enjoy such a tender moment for long, when the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne. As a celebrity in front of the two saints, Shi Zhongzhu was under a lot of pressure.

To abdicate, I dare not say that there will be no one in the future, at least there will be no one before.Apart from the legendary Yao, Shun and Yu, the only clear abdications that can be counted in history are usurpers in the name of abdication.In fact, when the sage decided to abdicate, the ministers resolutely opposed it. It was not the abdication of the sage, but the abdication itself. My God, whose emperor didn’t work until death, even if the emperor was too old and sick to work, what else? The prince of Jian Guo, the old man, and the assistant minister, in short, others are capable, but the title must be the emperor.

The people from the Ministry of Sacraments scratched their heads and rummaged through the classics before they managed to make a mess.The entire etiquette process was very long and tossed back and forth for a month. What can be called historic is the enthronement ceremony.The previous successor emperors all ascended the throne before their spirits. This time, the new emperor was fortunate to be conferred by his father.

The crown prince had just changed into the dragon robe during the abdication ceremony of the saint, not the abdication ceremony of the Supreme Emperor. There are thousands of styles of dragon robes and different colors, but on such a solemn occasion, it can only be Zheng Huang Da. Dress, nine flying dragons, and twelve chapter patterns, the new emperor slowly walked up from the steps.

The Supreme Emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched his son walk towards him. This son was not his favorite, nor was he the one he chose at first, but he was the most suitable one now.When the new emperor walked to the platform where the dragon chair was placed, the ceremonial officials sang the chapters, and then the Supreme Emperor took out the jade seal from the tray held by Shi Zhongzhu and handed it to the new emperor.The new emperor held up the jade seal, and all the ministers shouted long live, the enthronement ceremony was over.After that, there will be officials of ceremonies to announce the new emperor's benevolent government, not to change the year name, the etiquette of the Supreme Emperor and the new emperor, etc., are not important anymore.

In this much-anticipated ceremony, the only time Shi Zhongzhu showed his face was to appear on stage with Yuxi on his hands. Considering his age and qualifications, he was considered to be a superhuman being, entrusted with a heavy responsibility.As a bystander, Shi Zhongzhu witnessed the big event that was destined to be recorded in the history of this time and space, but he was neither sad nor happy.All the interest entanglements are behind the scenes, so what is there to be touched by the brilliance of the scene?

The three fires for the new emperor's accession to the throne were also ignited. At the first court meeting hosted by the new emperor, Shi Ding presented fine seeds on behalf of the historians. The most responsible person, Shi Zhongzhu, was awarded the title of Earl Zhong Jiabo. Unexpectedly, of course Shi Zhongzhu did not Extravagantly expecting "righteousness" and "virginity" and the like, this is what he expects before he dies decades later. It is unbelievable for him to be loyal now. How can the saint treat him so well? "Loyalty" ranked fourth among civil servants, pie fell from the sky, and Shi Zhongzhu was knocked unconscious~ At this important historical moment, Zhao Lao, an ordinary old farmer formerly known as Zhao Da, was also fortunate to participate.Even after the etiquette training, he was still a little rusty, and he completed the face sanctuary without any risk.The sage gave him a new name——Zhao Houji, the incarnation of the ancient god of agriculture, in recognition of his contribution to agriculture.

In addition, the sage also awarded the historians a lot of last time, everyone benefited, Shi Nai was promoted, and he took over as the son-in-law of Princess An Ning, who was related to both the Supreme Emperor and the sage. Princess Anning was the third of the Supreme Emperor The queen's only daughter is now revered by the sage as the supreme queen, with unlimited honor and will never involve anything.

The first fire was vigorous and vigorous on the surface, and the second fire was equally eye-catching. At the second great court meeting when the sage officially ascended the throne, there was a book from the imperial history, who participated in Jinling Zhen's family to disrespectfully withhold taxes, assassinate ministers, manipulate Slave murder and other crimes.The sage said that such a criminal should not be allowed to stay, so he appointed a censor who was famous for his bad temper as the chief official, and went to Jinling.

When the imperial envoy was leaving, the sage personally received him, saying that he did not need to miss the old lady of the Zhen family.

The once-prominent Zhen family collapsed like this, and now everyone's eyes are fixed on the Supreme Emperor's Ningshou Palace and Rongwang Mansion outside the palace. Tough, how do they react?

Ningshou Palace, where all eyes are fixed, the Supreme Emperor asked the Supreme Empress to listen to the opera, and the copper coins were rewarded with three big baskets, and he sighed that it was wonderful.Everyone understood that in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, such a major event as co-authoring the Zhen family's house raid is not as exciting as a play. Since this is the case, all the ministers ignored it, Zhen family, what the hell is that?

As for Lord Rong...

"Crack!" In the living room of the inner courtyard of Prince Rong's Mansion, there were bursts of porcelain sounds.

"Fourth Master, calm down..."

"Too much bullying, too much bullying!" Prince Rong walked around the room like a trapped animal, the princess couldn't persuade her, and she didn't dare to sit still, so she could only move back quietly so as not to affect herself.

Concubine Rong was able to marry into the royal family at the beginning, her family background was naturally extraordinary, but unfortunately a few years ago when the princes rebelled, the Supreme Emperor was furious, and Concubine Rong's natal family also fell.Without her natal family, she would naturally lack confidence, so Prince Rong urgently needs to win over new forces. Is there a better way to win over than marriage?The situation in the backyard has changed drastically, Princess Rong is willing to say a word of persuasion today, conscious of being benevolent and righteous.

"Lao Liu! You are too deceitful! Do you really think you are firmly seated on the throne?" Prince Rong ran away, "Father, is Father also confused? I am the one who is loved by Father the most! I got three points, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Princess Rong stepped aside, watching her nose and nose, pretending not to hear these outrageous remarks.Did the sage secure his throne? Prince Rong didn’t even dare to stay in the outer study, and he didn’t dare to invite guests. He could only complain in front of Princess Rong, the woman in the inner courtyard. Don’t you understand?As for the Taishanghuang, a prince who tried to kill his father in vain, the Taishanghuang didn't kill him on the spot, it was already a father's love.

Princess Rong understood all these reasons, but she did not step forward to persuade them to distinguish. Lord Rong now retains a title of county king. Although the family dare not compare with before, they have no worries about food and clothing, and security is the foundation of life.

Prince Rong finished complaining in the inner courtyard, and went out full of worries, not paying attention to the way the princess looked at him.

The Zhen family was ransacked, and the eldest son of the Zhen family had already prepared for it. Over the years, because of Concubine Zhen and Lord Rong, the second house was in charge, and the eldest son was dissatisfied. But only the younger son was sent away.

The whole world belongs to a saint, so where can I send it to, I can only send it to Prince Rong's mansion in the big capital, and I hope that Prince Rong will preserve this bloodline for the sake of the Zhen family's dedication to him for so many years.

Accompanying him along the way are the die-hard loyalists of the Zhen family.These loyalists, together with Lord Rong's previous influence, took advantage of the opportunity of Lord Rong's illness to meet secretly in Prince Rong's mansion.

Prince Rong knew that there must be spies in his mansion, so he arranged for a substitute, and asked the princess to cover him, while he went out of the mansion in disguise to discuss plans with these people.

"Lao Liu has been enthroned for less than a month, and the dragon chair is not hot yet. Ten days later, the Confucianism of the Ministry of Rites arranged another sacrifice to heaven. This king has someone in the Taipu Temple. You can mix with the followers and wait for the opportunity to assassinate and kill Lao Liu. The throne will naturally be vacated, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of this king!"

"Are the people in Prince Taipu Temple reliable? Have they been noticed? We should find someone with high martial arts skills to assassinate. We are all counselors, so how can we do it?"

"Yeah, looking for those people, how can we ensure that they are willing to commit suicide at the expense of confiscating their families and killing their families?"

"No, no, the most important thing is, even if the current saint is dead, how can the prince ensure that he can ascend the throne smoothly?"

All the counselors talked about the recklessness of this plan, and there were a lot of follow-up questions.

"Enough! Is this king a fool? I have been dormant for a few years, and I really think that this king has done nothing!"

"Subordinates dare not." Everyone said in unison.

Prince Rong knew that today was different from the past, and he had to rely on their cooperation, so he tried to be gentle: "Now I share weal and woe with all of you, if I ascend to the throne, I will definitely live up to all of you."

"Thank you, my lord."

The interests were declared again, and everyone became active.In the end, it was decided to let the dead soldiers in the army carry out the assassination mission. Prince Rong contacted Princess An Ning's son-in-law, in the name of paying his respects to the Supreme Emperor.

Lord Rong felt that such a plan was too simple when he said it himself, so he was worried.

After all the counselors had dispersed, the counselor of the Zhen family who was protecting the youngest son of the eldest son went to the capital stroked his goatee and said, "It's a big trick, it won't work, and it will be reduced to ten times. My lord, it's a plan. It's easy to use, it's not complicated." A plan is a good plan. Everyone in the world thinks that it is difficult to change the dynasty. What is so difficult about it? If the saint dies, the dynasty will change. The death of the saint is still very easy. If we don’t do it, the saint will not be able to drink water one day. , I choked to death after eating. The difficulty is that after the death of the saint, who will be the saint?

"Besides, we don't need to bring too many people into the palace. The saint is already old. As long as the prince catches him by surprise, he will surely succeed. So, prince, don't be merciless!"

Prince Rong was aroused by the counselor's words, and quietly went back to the inner courtyard, pretending to be sick.Fortunately, everyone thought that he was hiding shame because of the Zhen family's affairs, so they didn't come to visit him, and the imperial physician didn't expose him, they only said that he wanted to rest.

In this way, no one found out that Lord Rong was planning to rebel!
