Funing Hall

Winter has indeed come, and it is getting cooler every day.

Ever since Zhao Cong uttered the words that regardless of his official position, everyone can ask to see him in the Chongzheng Palace, he has been very busy.

Every day, countless officials come to the palace to ask for an interview. Some of them have real skills and have put forward many good opinions.Some are purely courageous, and since they seized the opportunity, they hurried over to make a familiar face.

Zhao Cong saw it all.

He is willing to be a kind and benevolent emperor, but he has no intention of being an honest emperor who is always deceived. This degree must be grasped. If you are too kind, you are honest. If you are too honest, you are stupid and stupid.

Being an emperor is not easy.

And he lacks experience in dealing with officials all the year round, whether it is a high-level official or a low-level official, this is also an opportunity to practice.He is like a sponge that has just been thrown into the water, absorbing water crazily with the help of dealing with these officials of various personalities.

His body was cold, and charcoal basins had been lit long ago in the Chongzheng Hall, and many more were lit. There was also a thick curtain in front of the door to strictly block the coolness outside.It is often because the officials who come to see him are so excited that they are sweating, and he still feels a little cold.

Seeing this, Fu Lu handed him the newly ordered hand stove.

Zhao Cong hugged it in his hands, and was about to sigh comfortably, but he smelled a fragrance spreading from the hand stove.He couldn't help but looked down at the hand stove, it was a round copper hand stove with a dragon spewing beads carved on the cover, and the fragrance came out of it.

The officials who were talking happily at the bottom saw that His Majesty no longer responded, and looked up cautiously, and saw that His Majesty was staring at the hand stove in his hand in a daze.

Zhao Cong was afraid of the cold, so he was wearing a big coat indoors, with white fox fur around his collar, which made his face look like white jade.His fingers are also like jade carvings, holding the cupronickel hand stove, so that people can't look away.

Who doesn't love to see people in good color?

This official just came back from outside, he is more courageous than the Beijing official, he really looks stupid.

Fu Lu was displeased and "coughed".

He just came back to his senses, and immediately knelt down in fright.

Zhao Cong also came back to his senses, saw the slightly trembling person below, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, please get up."

That's right, this one is also surnamed Zhao and named Luo.But he is just an ordinary Zhao surname, he first served in Luoyang County, Henan Province, and now he has resigned and returned to Beijing.

Zhao Cong also made a joke earlier, saying that his name is Luo, but he really knows Luoyang County.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Luo opened up his chatterbox, telling Zhao Cong what he saw, heard and did in Luoyang.

Zhao Luo has been an official for ten years, but he is still only an eight-rank follower.Now, Zhao Cong also knew why.This person really has no heart, and his behavior is weird, but he is very interesting.

Luoyang has always been an elegant place, with countless literati gathering, gardens and exquisite houses all over the place, various poetry gatherings and tea parties are held all year round, and everyone takes pride in discussing poetry and other elegant things with everyone there.Even in the city of Tokyo, many officials, royal families, and marquis families have other courtyards in Luoyang, and the travel between Luoyang and Kaifeng is also cheap. When they are resting, they always go to Luoyang to drink tea together.

Luoyang County is a well-deserved Shangxian County. Zhao Luo is lucky. He finally got to know Luoyang County. He is not in a hurry to please Shangfeng, nor does he seek advice from local celebrities. Fifty boards!

He wants to build a school in Luoyang County for the local poor people to study, but it needs money, otherwise how to build it?How to ask students to teach teachers, and then buy paper and pens?Zhao Luo's family is a farmer, and his wife was married when he was poor. He did not forget his roots after taking the imperial examination, and took his wife who was five years older than him to work everywhere.

Both of them have no family background, he has always been a petty official, his salary is not much, and he has no money.But he couldn't help but look down, so he went around to raise money.There are many big families in Luoyang County, but there are always people who are unwilling to give it, and Zhao Luo doesn't complain.However, some people just refused to give it away, and even made a mockery of his actions, and even ridiculed those poor families who were not worthy of studying at all.

Zhao Luo's quick temper came up, and he hit him when caught, but no one reacted.

That's right, he beat it with a board himself!

He fought more than once in the future.

This time it was good, although he was right, he offended a group of people thoroughly.Others knew that he had such a temperament, and they didn't think about killing him.But he served for three years, and was rated as the next in the annual appraisal.Three years hadn't arrived yet, and it was almost two and a half years before he was beaten back.

He came into the palace with great enthusiasm today, because he wanted to explain his remarks about building a school to the officials.The official is young, so maybe he was persuaded by him?This is a great thing!

After listening to him for more than an hour, Zhao Cong could tell that this person didn't want to be a high official, but a great educator, if the word "educator" existed at this time.This is very much in line with Zhao Cong's wishes. Zhao Cong has long wanted to establish state studies and county studies and standardize them.

Now someone is taking the lead, and it is a person surnamed Zhao who has studied for a long time. Although there are two Zhaos who can't meet each other, he is happy.

Holding the stove in his hand, he said slowly, "I already know Mr. Zhao's words."

Zhao Luo was very happy, he didn't care whether the official family was born well or not, he was already very content with the official family's words.

Zhao Cong said again: "I have thought about it in my heart, but I still need to think about it for a while. Master Zhao has been back for more than three months. I'm afraid I'm tired of staying at home? I ordered Master Cai Yong to preside over next year's Enke If anything, go and help him."

Zhao Luo was taken aback for a moment, looking at him puzzled.

"The two of you have discussed and agreed, so you can do things better. This is the first time in Chunwei after my personal administration, so there must be no mistakes or omissions."

Ouch, Zhao Luo just realized that His Majesty wants to use him again!

In a panic, he knelt down again and kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty will definitely help Mr. Cai!"

Zhao Cong smiled: "Go ahead and let me see, you can bear this burden."

"The next official will not disgrace his life!"

Zhao Luo came here in high spirits, and returned in high spirits.

As soon as he left, Zhao Cong suddenly lost his strength and collapsed on the chair.

"Your Majesty?" Fu Lu worried.

"How many people are behind?"

"There are three more people asking to see you, Your Majesty, don't see each other today. The Great Court Meeting will be held in three days. From the day you take office, you will see you every day from morning to night. How can you bear it?" Fu Lu's face was full. Can't bear it.

Zhao Cong also wants to rest, but Qin can always make up for his weakness. He is really a novice when it comes to being an emperor.Relying on brain flexibility and a little scheming may occasionally gain the upper hand, but how can it always be the case?

Now that these officials come to see him, he has already started to use the ones that can be seen to be useful, like Zhao Luo.

It's just that the official position has not been assigned yet. First, because he wants to reform the official system, the specific official position cannot be given at this time. It will be announced to the world after the Yuan Dynasty is changed next year.The second is because he also wants to beat these people, how can he give them good fruits all at once, and he thought that he, the little emperor, was so talkative.

In short, I have kissed Zheng for more than a month, and my brain is really running at high speed every day.

This month goes by rather quickly.

Zhao Cong looked down at the hand stove in his arms again, and asked, "Why is there the fragrance of plum blossoms, but the princess and concubine Shu went to fold flowers again?"

"Xiao Langjun has nothing to do recently. He took the plum blossoms that the princess and the others broke, mixed with fragrant medicine, and made fragrant pancakes. The princess and concubine Shu all loved it!"

"He still knows this?" Zhao Cong laughed.

Fu Lu also laughed: "That's not it, our young gentleman is really a refined person, he can paint and do these things, and now the little maids in the palace prefer to go to him."

When a person grows up, sometimes it is a matter of a moment.

This winter, Zhao Cong's stature was as straight as a wicker in spring, Zhao Cong was very busy, the last time I saw him was seven or eight days ago.That time I saw that Zhao Shiyi had grown to his ears.

He couldn't help but think of the joke he made with Zhao Shixi in the autumn, how could he wait for next year, Zhao Shixi had grown to his ears now.

The charcoal in the hand stove is burning slowly, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is faintly emitted.

Maybe it was exhaustion, but Zhao Cong suddenly felt uncomfortable.In just a few months, that kid had grown up.Now I am no longer autistic, I can talk, and I am more capable.In a few years, he will give the child a marriage, and the child will move out of the palace. In the future, he will have his own wife, his own children, and his own house.

Maybe he will still make this plum blossom powder in winter, but he will never give it to him again.

He was still looking at the hand stove in his hand, but he couldn't help but sighed softly.

If it is possible, who wants to grow up?

After all, another meaning of growing up is to leave.

Who wants to leave the one they love.

He really hated the word "leave".

Zhao Cong sighed again, and said to Fu Lu: "Let's come here today, you go and call Xiao Langjun and the princess back, and have dinner at the Funing Palace tonight."

"Yes!" Fu Lu was also happy to see that His Majesty was willing to rest, and called Lu Yuan in, telling him to go out and tell the adults to leave, and then go to see where the princesses are playing.

He lowered his head to put on boots for Zhao Cong, and after Zhao Cong got up, he put on a big hairy cloak for Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong was wrapped tightly and walked out of the Chongzheng Hall.

On the way back, Lu Yuan came all the way and saluted, "Your Majesty! The little man, the princess, and Mrs. Qian are all playing in the back garden! The little man is drawing pictures for the princess!"

Zhao Cong smiled: "I'm going too."

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside." Fu Lu reminded.

"It's all right."

Lu Yuan also smiled and said: "The people around the princess are all capable. They are afraid that the princess and Mrs. Qian will catch cold, so they put up a curtain outside the pavilion. There is also a charcoal basin and hot tea inside the pavilion, so it's not cold at all! "

Zhao Cong smiled: "Look, they will all enjoy themselves."

Fulu was relieved.

"How long will it be like this? I'm very tired." Zhao Zongning sat on the side of the beauty, feeling a little impatient.

Zhao Shishi ignored her and continued to paint her portrait.

"I want to have tea." Zhao Zongning spoke again.

Only then did Zhao Shiyi look up at her, frowning in dissatisfaction, and said: "You are the one who wants to draw, and you are the one who is tired at this time."

He raised his head and faced Xueguang. Zhao Zongning looked at his face, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed instead: "You really are the prettiest of our Zhao parents."

Since she entered the palace for a short stay, Zhao Cong has been very busy every day, and she has a restless temperament.There are few people in the palace, so she can only play with Qian Yuemo, but with Qian Yuemo's quiet temperament, how can he play with her?And Qian Yuemo is afraid of her.She had no choice but to come to Zhao Shishi every day. Although there was some disagreement between the two of them, and she even threatened him, Zhao Zongning secretly observed that Zhao Shixi was still honest now, so she put aside her guard for the time being.

It was only after playing around that he discovered that Zhao Shishi was really interesting. He would draw small portraits of people, and the paintings looked very similar.Zhao Shiyi actually knows a lot of things, even making incense powder. After the plum blossoms in the back garden bloom, she likes to play with Zhao Shixi even more.

How did she know that Zhao Shishi knew he was going to leave, so he indulged in the end and left nothing to do, just doing these nosy things.

Although the previous life was miserable, it did teach him a lot, and because he refused to admit defeat, he secretly learned everything he could learn.Now he is loved by all the court ladies, including Zhao Zongning who always looks at him with his chin, and now he knows that he is at the same level as him.

He has grown taller this month, and even though he is wearing a jacket, he is still azure in color, with a small circle of white fox fur trimmed around his neck.In this winter, he has lost his childish appearance, and has the appearance of a real young man, like the winter green leaves covered by white snow, which is naturally very spiritual.

After Zhao Zongning said this, Zhao Shishi didn't even bother to talk to her.

Zhao Zongning simply left the beauty, sat opposite him, and said: "If you are older, if you go out, is there a lady who wants to throw flowers at you?"

"..." Zhao Shixi put down his pen, "Do you still want to draw?"

"Let's put it aside for a while, let's talk, aunt and nephew."

As soon as these words came out, Qian Yuemo laughed out loud. The 13-year-old aunt and the 11-year-old nephew spoke very seriously.

Zhao Zongning is easy to talk when he is happy, Qian Yue smiled silently, but she was not angry either, she stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Shishi's arm, and asked again: "Shangyuan Festival happens to be your birthday, when that time, will you join me and An Niang?" Go out and look at the lights! There must be a little lady who wants to put lights and flowers in your arms, do you want to bet with me?"

Zhao Shishi was speechless, he looked at Zhao Zongning and didn't know what to say.Zhao Zongning had married three husbands in his previous life, one was better off than the other, but died earlier than the other.In this life, I still only look at the face.

However, Zhao Shixi laughed secretly again, with Zhao Zongning's identity and temperament, and a brother like Zhao Cong, why is it wrong to choose a husband and son-in-law only by his face?Does she want anything extra?Apart from Zhao Cong, who else is more noble than her.

After Zhao Zongning ascended the throne in his previous life, he probably really raised his face.

Back then she was just an ordinary princess, she just acted like that, now she is a princess, and she is still favored so much, I really don't know what will happen to her marriage in this life.

Thinking about this in his heart, he was also a little curious.Unfortunately, he was too late to see it with his own eyes.

Zhao Zongning was lucky, he tilted his head to look at him, and said again: "You are really handsome, you are only eleven!"

At this moment, Qian Yuemo remembered Zhao Cong, and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty is also born well."

Zhao Shiyi glanced at her, agreeing with Qian Yuemo's words for the first time, Zhao Cong was very good-looking, he was shocked the first time he saw her.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them began to appreciate the looks of each member of the Zhao family. In fact, only Zhao Zongning was talking about it.How dare Qian Yuemo say such a thing?Zhao Shishi didn't bother to say that, they both heard Zhao Zongning chattering alone.

The maids and officials accompanying Zhao Zongning laughed from time to time.

When Zhao Cong came over, he heard these laughters while he was still at the bottom of the steps. It was very contagious, and he couldn't help smiling.

Time is quiet and good four words, words that have been used rotten in his previous world.

At this time is the only word that can describe this scene.

He really hopes to be like this forever, with loved, close and important people always by his side.

The years like this are always quiet and good.
