Later, I became the prince of the group

Before the tenth day, the news came that Qiu Zizhen gave birth prematurely and collapsed, and Qiu Zihua hit the wall and committed suicide.

Liu Qi didn't even want to ask Chang Xi carefully, so he just asked Chang Xi to check the corpse and arrange funeral arrangements for them.

——It was just a cheap coffin and buried casually.

In a few days, it will be the canonization ceremony of the crown prince.

Civil and military officials gathered in the Taimiao in court clothes, and that day Liu Qi also changed into a dress that was very similar to the crown prince's. .

Chu Yan was led up the steps by others, and after a few steps, all the officials had to worship, which was extremely cumbersome.

After that, it was necessary to proclaim the edict, read the book, confer the seal, and confer the belt. After Chu Yan worshiped three times, Emperor Chengxing proclaimed the amnesty of the world as usual, and all the people present knelt down and shouted.

It's not over yet, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will have to walk around the streets with the emperor and the prince to announce it to the people in the capital.

This time Liu Qi could ride in the chariot with Chu Yan. As soon as he was helped up, Chu Yan asked in a low voice, "Are you tired? Does your knee hurt?"

Liu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that His Highness was making too much of a fuss: "How long have you been kneeling? You're not tired or hurt, so don't worry."

While parading through the streets, Liu Qi also saw people from the Liu family on the side of the street. After seeing them, Liu Qi didn't show too much excitement, but just nodded and smiled at them.

Mrs. Liu stood in the crowd and sighed with relief: "Our third child has also grown up, and he has become more aware of etiquette and human affairs. At first, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the twists and turns of the royal family. Who would have thought that would be the case."

Liu Lin said with a smile: "Actually, His Highness protects you well. Xiao Qi has no worries about the things that ordinary people who marry into the royal family have to face."

After the ceremony, they went back to the palace directly. Emperor Chengxing had something to say, but remembering that Chu Yan was still feverish, he let him go back to rest.

This is also the first time for Chu Yan to see what the renovated East Palace looks like. The outer walls and the walls of the house have been repainted, the roads have been re-paved evenly and beautifully, the eaves have been repaired, and the window paper has been replaced with new ones.

The furniture of the main hall has been put into the room, and the furnishings are no different from Jianmingju in the palace, it looks very friendly.

Liu Qi said: "There are several courtyards in the back, some of which are for the servants to live in, and the other for warehouses. There are also some spacious courtyards in good locations. I don't plan to repair them. They will be empty. It's best to seal them up."

Chu Yan smiled and said, "You might as well put a set of quilts in those yards."

Liu Qi glared at him.

"Put all of your own, and put your things in the room, so that the entire East Palace is your room. No matter which courtyard I go to sleep, I will sleep with you. Isn't that wonderful?"

Liu Qi coughed twice: "In broad daylight, what are you talking about like tigers and wolves?"

Chu Yan thought that it was only natural for me to say something about tigers and wolves to my daughter-in-law, but he didn't say it to annoy Liu Qi, but glanced at the few people standing next to him: "Do you have ears on your heads?"

Xin Qing, Chang Xi, and Chang Le shook their heads frantically: "No, I don't have ears."

Then retreated knowingly.

Liu Qi: "..."

Although the words sounded embarrassing, they still gave Liu Qi inspiration. He really asked someone to put a set of quilts in each yard, and specially asked people to embroider a "Qi" character on the quilts to swear sovereignty.

Originally, this would be all right, but Chu Yan carried Liu Qi to the side yard the next day, and tossed on the bed all night.On the third day, another yard was changed.

After a period of time, the entire courtyard of the East Palace was ravaged by them.

Over the previous dynasty, the charter for the settlement of the former Jin people in the south and the handling methods for the Southern Jin royal family were gradually formulated.

Emperor Chengxing discovered the benefits of establishing a crown prince. In the past, whenever he came up with an idea, his courtiers would always argue about it. One said "think twice" and the other said "caution".

Emperor Chengxing claimed to be a virtuous lord who accepts advice with an open mind, and he couldn't do anything to punish civil servants because of different political opinions. Achieved, but somewhat wasted some time.

It's good now, as long as the regulations come out, the prime minister says "yes", Chu Yan says "yes", and he says "accurate", all the officials see that the three most powerful people in the court think it's okay, so naturally there is nothing to worry about refuted it.

This kind of scene where the father and son are united and the monarch and his subjects work together can be called a good story.

Emperor Chengxing felt very happy when he thought about it. There was such a prince who could share his worries at the top, caring at the bottom, and consciously not getting too close to his courtiers. Heart.

Before the first month came out, Chu Yan proposed the reform of the Ministry of Officials.

This is also something that has been prepared for a long time. After all, there are few officials who can take on great responsibilities in the court. After the Southern Jin Dynasty took over, the southern states and counties have to send officials. Even if Emperor Chengxing has decided to open Enke again next year, it is still I feel that there are not enough staff.

So Chu Yan proposed to assign Xinke Jinshi and Xinjuren as parent officials, and then divide the south into six regions, and set up a Zhennan Supervision Department in each region to supervise the work of these local officials. It needs to be approved by the Supervision Department, and the parent officials are not allowed to make decisions without authorization, so there is no need to worry about these new officials who take office are inexperienced or misbehaving.

The crown prince proposed a policy for the first time after he was appointed, and the courtiers all wanted to support it. In addition, the supervisory department was only temporarily set up for three years, not a permanent reform. Naturally, the voice of opposition was much less, and it was implemented in a hurry. .

At that time, the fourth prince, Chu Ze, thought that he had nothing to do with him, but gradually he discovered that many of the courtiers who took refuge in him were nominated to be transferred to other places.

He didn't have any doubts at first, after all, there have been a lot of courtiers being transferred recently, but they just mentioned a name first, and they might be changed again in a few days, who knows that it was decided like this later.

In fact, many people were transferred at the same time, and there was no flaw in the reason why Chu Ze's people were transferred, but when he thought that this matter was led by the prince, he couldn't help suspecting that Chu Yan was targeting him.

He was a little anxious for a while, and finally when Chu Yan brought up the confirmation of the list at the court, he said that the official doctor who was about to be dispatched far away was experienced and had great achievements, and it was really not suitable for him to leave the position of the official department, and he should be replaced. people.

Among other things, the Ministry of Officials is a very important position. Chu Ze had managed to find such a person in the Ministry of Officials. If he was transferred away, all his previous efforts would be in vain!

But as soon as he said that, even Liang Ye, who had always been a wooden man, couldn't help but look up at him.

Chu Ze was a little flustered by these stares, his mind was almost in a mess, and he couldn't figure out what he said wrong.

Chu Yan laughed, and said: "The fourth brother really cherishes talents, but the fourth brother probably didn't understand that the father agreed to send him to the Southwest Supervision Department as the deputy director because he liked Mr. Xu's talent. As far as the official rank is concerned, he was promoted from a fifth-rank doctor to a third-rank senior official, standing shoulder to shoulder with a servant, this is not a wrong to Xu Langzhong."

More than just not being wronged, the crown prince clearly promoted Xu Langzhong.

Not only has he been promoted, but the power in his hands has also been much higher than before, and his salary has also been raised. The place far away from the capital is also very convenient to fish for oil and water. At that time, they, those from the Supervision Department, had made great contributions.

Chu Ze bit the bullet and said, "It really doesn't count, but I just feel that there are other suitable candidates for the post of director."

Emperor Chengxing said: "I have reviewed the list, and there is nothing wrong with it, so there is no need to discuss it again."

Chu Ze could only suppress his unwillingness and return to his original position.

Lu Mingzhi sighed silently.

His Highness still can't hold on. His Majesty will definitely be suspicious if he rashly comes out to speak for someone who seems to have nothing to do with him.

It doesn't matter if you have doubts, as long as you live in peace in the future, His Majesty will not always remember it, but I'm just afraid that the prince has other tricks...

On the fifteenth day of the next day, the emperor should stay in the queen's palace as usual.

The queen prepared dishes in advance to welcome him, and served a plate of snacks, and then distributed two portions in front of the emperor, and asked someone to send one to Donggong and Chu Rui each.

When Emperor Chengxing heard Chu Rui's name, he thought of it: "The third son should go out of the palace to build a mansion, and his marriage, we can also look at it first."

The queen said: "Exactly, the concubine has already selected some women with similar families and ages, but I haven't told Rui'er yet, the concubine wants to wait for the spring to come, so I might as well hold a flower viewing feast and let these girls come to the palace In the first reunion, Rui'er and the fourth child will also have a look at each other by themselves."

"Chu Ze?"

"That's right, the fourth child is the same age as Rui'er. As a aunt, I naturally have to think about him."

Only then did Emperor Chengxing realize that this was indeed the case, the queen was involved in the marriage of the princes and sons in the palace, and the biological mother had nothing to say.That is to say, I doted too much on the imperial concubine back then, and the imperial concubine personally took care of everything about Chu He, so I didn't realize it for a while, thinking that the concubine De should worry about Chu Ze's marriage.

As soon as Chu Ze was mentioned, Emperor Chengxing couldn't help thinking of his son's performance at the court meeting yesterday, frowned deeply and said: "Well, Chu Ze's marriage should be decided, you should worry about him."

The queen said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is a matter of the duties of the courtiers and concubines."

Emperor Chengxing thought of something again: "By the way, the East Palace is also very empty, we should add some people in, so you should take a look at it by the way."

But the queen hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty... the East Palace, uh, sooner or later there will be more people, but now, after all, Liu Wen is still on the front line and has repeatedly made meritorious service. Adding people to the East Palace at this time will chill the hearts of loyal ministers? "

Emperor Chengxing looked at her strangely: "What's so chilling about this? The crown prince doesn't accept concubines, and Ah Yan is not the kind of person who will neglect Liu Qi if he has a concubine."

The queen smiled bitterly: "The concubine is afraid that Liu Qi will look down on him. After all, he is a man, and men want to monopolize the other half. He can't get used to it for a while. It's good that he can't see it. Even if I've been depressed for a few days, the concubine is afraid that Ah Yan won't be able to see it, and it was because of this last time..."

Emperor Chengxing was reminded by her, thinking of Chu Yan's temper in the middle palace a year ago, he was silent for a while and said: "Forget it, I will just take it for the sake of Liu Wen's military exploits, let's not mention this for now. It's hard for you...you can think of this for them now."

The queen laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? He is the concubine's own son. Can the concubine not think about Yan'er? Besides, these days, A Qi always visits the concubine in the palace, and the concubine finds that the child is really well-behaved." Interesting, no wonder it will make people happy. Ah Yan is also getting closer to me. Whenever I meet something good outside the palace, I will come and share it with my concubine. Others say that he must have a grudge against me, but my concubine does not. It turns out that it is really as His Majesty said, that Ah Yan doesn't hold any grudges in her heart, and occasionally she will be clingy to his courtiers and concubines."

"Wait...you wait." Emperor Chengxing nodded in satisfaction while listening, but felt something was wrong when he heard something, "Who told you that he must hold a grudge?"

The queen seemed to realize that she had slipped her tongue, and hesitated.

It wasn't until Emperor Chengxing said that all the servants in Fengyi Palace would be summoned for interrogation that he said: "It's Concubine De. This... Concubine De also said a few words inadvertently. Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubines will naturally not take it seriously. .”

The gloom on Emperor Chengxing's face did not decrease.

Before there was gossip in the harem to let the empress know, he had dealt with those two women severely, so as to warn Concubine De to keep quiet, but this woman didn't have a long memory.

What is inadvertent is clearly intentional.

This Chu Ze, did not know what kind of activities he did in the previous dynasty, and a concubine De, solicited gossip and rumors in the harem to confuse people.

What a brave man!

If it's not technical level that doesn't allow it, I'd like to make each yard of the East Palace be packaged into a play room with different themes??
