Everyone is coveting my beauty

There is no need to go to court early during the national funeral, Chu Heng woke up early, and Jing Zhong reminded him that the regent, prime minister, Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian should jointly discuss the burial of Emperor Daxing. When Chu Heng heard that he wanted to see Xie Chengan, he felt conflicted in his heart. , he would not say the wrong thing yesterday.

But Father Xie Cheng'an said that he is loyal and upright, but he is a little pedantic and too observant of etiquette. Although he is loyal, he is easy to be used by others, so if there is a suitable person in the future, he must be replaced.

Fortunately, the emperor's uncle is coming too, if Xie Chengan said something unpleasant, he would ask the emperor's uncle to frighten him.

You'an sent two young eunuchs to announce people, and went to Prince Rong's mansion himself.

Prince Rong's mansion is only two streets away from the imperial palace, and Rong Zhen arrived in a short while on horseback. When he entered the palace, he saw Chu Heng in plain clothes and white clothes, and asked warmly, "When did you rest last night?"

"It's Haishi." Chu Heng replied honestly, but the blue and black under his eyes showed that he hadn't rested well.

Naturally, Rong Zhen also saw it, and reached out to touch it: "Really, what's going on here?"

"I had a nightmare. After waking up, I drank calming soup and fell asleep again."

"What nightmare?" Rong Zhen felt sorry for him.

Chu Heng shook his head and refused to speak. Rong Zhen was curious, but he also felt sorry for him and did not force him to speak out.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Jiuyun, Xie Cheng'an, and Qin Tianjian's chief minister, Fuchen, also arrived. When they saw Chu Hengrongzhen, they first knelt down to pay their respects: "Join His Royal Highness, Prince Regent."

"Free from courtesy, give me a seat." Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Heng slightly raised his hand to give the seat, and then said, "I have called you here today to discuss the funeral of the late emperor with you. When the posthumous title was set, the location of the imperial mausoleum was determined by the late emperor when he was in power, and when the repairs were completed last year, the secretary was in charge of deducing the auspicious day for the burial."

Si Fuchen bowed his hands and took the order.

"Xie Qing." Chu Heng met Xie Chengan's gaze, pursed his lips, and said, "The Ministry of Rites needs to discuss the posthumous title and the orphan within seven days."

Xie Chengan was still dissatisfied with Chu Heng, but he agreed to the matter involving the former emperor.

"Zhang Qing, I order you to be the history of the mountain and take charge of the funeral of the late emperor."

"The minister leads the order." Zhang Jiuyun glanced at Rong Zhen, and also took the order.

Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately everything went well, he waved his hand: "If there is nothing else, just kneel down."

Xie Cheng'an said bluntly: "Your Highness, the old minister couldn't sleep last night. After searching through ancient books, it is unprecedented for the emperor to conceive an heir. There is no precedent to follow. If His Highness ascends the throne, will he accept a woman or a man? If it is a man, how can His Highness have a body of gold?" Living under people!"

Chu Heng blushed, angry and ashamed, he knew that this old stubborn Xie Chengan would not let this matter go: "Xie Chengan, lonely, lonely..."

He stayed alone for a long time and didn't say anything. Rong Zhen frowned and was about to speak, but Zhang Jiuyun preempted him: "Why is Xie Shangshu so stubborn? I think what your highness said is very true. Your highness will personally conceive an heir, which can protect you." The royal bloodline is pure, according to my view, this matter can be discussed after His Highness ascends the throne."

When Rong Zhen heard it, he felt that although Zhang Jiuyun was a cunning person, he knew the current affairs, so he said: "Xie Shangshu, as the Minister of Rites, should assess the situation and keep pace with the times. If you have to follow the old rules in everything, what use is it for you? Now you should put the matter of the Emperor Daxing first, if you continue to be stubborn, I will punish you for disrespecting the emperor first."

Zhang Jiuyun cupped his hands: "My lord is wise."

Rong Zhen also said: "Ms. Zhang has a good understanding of the general situation, and he is worthy of being the leader of all officials."

The two actually complimented each other a bit, but they didn't know that each had something wrong in their hearts.

Chu Heng sat on the main seat, listening to Rong Zhen and Zhang Jiuyun refute Xie Chengan for him, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, the two seemed to agree with him to accept a man, and last night's nightmare seemed to come true, making Chu Heng sit still Uneasy, he quickly said: "I have my own arrangements for the matter of the heirs. Lovers just worry about state affairs, and don't mention it in the future."

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, his mind was keen, and he could immediately hear Chu Heng's resistance to this matter, and it happened that he didn't want other men to recommend himself as a pillow, so he said: "Your Highness is right, everything is up to His Highness to decide."

In a word, Chu Heng gave him grateful eyes again.

However, Zhang Jiuyun was a little dissatisfied. He hadn't figured out the regulations yet, so he just followed Xie Chengan's words to pave the way for him to take the position. Who knew that the regent crossed the river and demolished the bridge in the blink of an eye, which made him really want to talk about it, but He still remembered those sharp blades from yesterday, so he could only swallow this breath, thinking in his heart, when more than half of the civil and military members of the Manchu dynasty jointly invited the new emperor to choose a concubine, the regent would not be able to object even if he covered the sky with his hands.

Several people insisted on their own opinions, but the handsome Si Fuchen looked at them calmly with a pair of clear eyes and a slight smile.

Xie Chengan couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he insisted on asking again, Rong Zhen said directly: "Xie Shangshu, it's too late, you need to remember your duty as a courtier, don't overstep. Your Highness is tired, everyone, step down."

Si Fuchen took the lead in standing up and bowing to salute: "The minister will leave."

Then Zhang Jiuyun and Xie Chengan also bowed and retreated.

Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Huang, it's good to have you here, otherwise I would not be able to step down again today."

"Didn't I say that I'm always on your side." Rong Zhen went up to touch his head, and said in a deep thought, "You don't want to be with a man?"

"How could you possibly want to." Chu Heng now also feels that riding a tiger is hard to get off, and regretted, "After all, I have grown up as a man for 17 years, and I have never thought of growing old with a man, especially, especially, I have to do that kind of thing..."

He is already 17 years old. Although he is not broken yet, he has also taught the nanny to teach others, and he knows exactly how to do it.But his body is too sensitive, and he absolutely doesn't want to be touched by others.

"Is Xiao Heng'er afraid of doing that kind of thing?" Rong Zhen asked tentatively.

Chu Heng's face turned pale, and he was extremely conflicted: "Uncle Huang, I don't want to talk about this, is it okay?"

Rong Zhen sighed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face: "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, we won't talk about it."

"Ah."

After having lunch in the palace and staying with Chu Heng for a while, Rong Zhen returned to the palace. He is now the Prince Regent. It is said that the palace should be rebuilt and changed to the specifications of the Prince Regent’s Palace. She was shy in the middle, and Rong Zhen didn't care about things outside her body, so she declined, saying that it would be good to live now.

Chu Heng asked Youan to check the private treasury, and there was not much silver. Last year, there was a heavy snowstorm in the south and drought in the north. This year, the grain production in the field must be reduced. Chu Heng has also been in touch with state affairs, so he naturally knows that the people should be put first. If the disaster is serious , must reduce or exempt taxes.

But treasury revenue will drop.

Before his father died, he was working hard on this matter.

Rong Zhen was not interested in doing business at first, but after returning home, he asked Lin Bo to send over the Rong family's current account books, and he wanted to learn how to do business.

Maybe Xiao Heng'er will fall into his arms again after being moved.

Tsk, where can Xiao Heng'er find a better man than himself, and when he becomes enlightened in the future, he will definitely get all of them back.

Not long after looking through it, the concierge came to report that someone from the master's house had come to ask to see him.

Rong Zhen smirked, the master really couldn't wait, but sooner or later he had to meet, so he asked the concierge to let them go directly to the study, while he changed his clothes, and went after a cup of tea.

This time it was Rong Yu, the son of the main family who came here. He was of the same seniority as Rong Zhen, a few years older than him. When he saw Rong Zhen, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty has seen the Regent."

"Don't be too polite, sit down."

Rong Yu looks handsome, with a thin body and a goatee on his chin. He looks much older. He first said that the master wanted to break up with Rong Zhen before, but now he regretted it, so he specially asked him to apologize, and said Presented a gift list.

His conversation is not annoying, and Rong Zhen also decided to fix things with the Rong family, at least to get back the business that his father gave to the Rong family before his death, so the two chatted and laughed, and they got along very well.

After talking about the serious business, Rong Yu stroked his beard and said: "The regent is almost [-] years old now, why hasn't he married a wife and had children? You are handsome, and you are good at both civil and martial arts. Many girls in the capital are looking forward to marrying you." , you are not tempted at all?"

Rong Zhen didn't want to talk about this: "I have my own plan."

"I didn't intend to say that this matter would annoy you." Rong Yu observed his words and expressions, "It's just that my father ordered me, and I dare not disobey. He felt that the Prince Regent's mansion was too deserted, so he asked me to ask if there is any marriage. If you don't have any plans, you can adopt a child from the master's house to your knees."

"No need." Rong Zhen chuckled and picked up the teacup, "I will have parents and children in the future, so there is no need to adopt."

He is now in his prime and powerful, and Chu Heng is in a good time, so having a child couldn't be easier.But Rong Zhen didn't want to have a child anytime soon, so let's talk about married life for a few years.

Maybe it's because he has written a lot, he even has an idea of ​​the name of his and Xiao Heng'er's child.

Rong Yu winked, stood up and saluted and said goodbye: "Then I wish the Regent all wishes come true."

**

After returning home, Zhang Jiuyun called Zhang Lingjun to the study room. Zhang Lingjun knelt in the ancestral hall all night, limping, but in good spirits: "Father, what do you want me for?"

"Following Xie Chengan's words today to test it out, the crown prince doesn't like men."

Zhang Jiuyun has been in Chu Heng's mind for many years, how could he not be aware of it.

Zhang Lingjun's handsome face was full of anxiety: "What should I do? Didn't His Highness say that he can have children? Why don't you like men anymore?"

"It's one thing to be able to give birth, but it's another thing to want to give birth." Zhang Jiuyun glanced at his son-in-law, still angry in his heart, and his tone was not good, "You should give up your thoughts as soon as possible."

"Father!" Zhang Lingjun felt confused and anxious when he heard this, and fell to his knees with a plop, "It's the first time my son has grown up so much, and it's the first time he likes someone so much. Please, father, help your son!"

Zhang Jiuyun was so angry that he wished he could kick him again, this worthless thing!

However, the matter of heirs cannot be avoided. If the prince wants to secure the throne, he must have heirs. The people in the imperial hospital said that the prince has not yet been born. If he marries a woman, he may be powerless.

So in the future, if the prince changes his mind and they give up, what if someone else enters the palace?

Zhang Jiuyun faintly felt a toothache, and said irritably, "Let me think about this again."

"Thank you father!"

**

There are many things Chu Heng has to do during this time. He has to make arrangements for the funeral, familiarize himself with the enthronement ceremony process, understand the big and small affairs of the Chu state, memorize the names and resumes of all the officials, and learn how to handle state affairs.

He was so busy that he could only sleep three hours a day.

But these things are what he should master. Chu Heng wants to be a good emperor, so he remembers these things carefully. He asked Jing Zhong to lead people to sort out the names and resumes of the officials of the fourth rank and above in the state of Chu, and the relationship between in-laws and students. Mark it out, and I will remember a few every day, but when I remember, I hate that I don't have Rong Zhen's ability to never forget.

Rong Zhen is also very busy during this time. She has to learn business, control the court, and gather power. She also has no skills at all, so the time to accompany Chu Heng will naturally be reduced.

He greeted Chu Heng when he entered the palace, and Chu Heng was very considerate.

This day he was remembering officials again. After seeing Guo Maolin, the magistrate of Tongchuan Prefecture, who was the number one scholar in the sixth year of Jianling, had four sons and six daughters, and married ten families respectively, he finally collapsed. : "How can he give birth so much, and how can he afford to support him? He is a magistrate, and his annual salary is only 480 guan. Even if the corn and silk are added, it is only [-] guan. How can he support so many children! Definitely greedy."

Youan covered her mouth and smiled beside her.

Chu Heng gave Youan a sideways look: "You're still laughing, come and remember with Gu."

You'an immediately put on a bitter face: "Your Highness, I don't have to remember, do I?"

"No, you will also be the manager in the future. How can you not know people when you meet them?"

You'an had no choice but to remember with Chu Heng with a sad face.

Both the master and the servant looked disheveled.

As the days passed, Chu Heng lost some weight because of his hard work, which made Rong Zhen very distressed. When the auspicious day calculated by Si Fuchen arrived, Chu Heng couldn't help crying again.

Sixteen tall and strong eunuchs carried the coffin out of the Shenwu Gate, Chu Heng's heart seemed to have been stabbed out, and he couldn't breathe from the pain.

He supported the coffin without anyone helping him, and staggered along, until he could no longer send it away, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

Rong Zhen's heartache couldn't be more distressed, and there were several officials in the team who wanted to rush up and hug him.

Rong Zhen followed the trend and asked Chu Heng to take the throne. Chu Heng's face was pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The regent's words are justified. As the prince alone, although he is dull, he has a duty to do so. I also ask all the lovers to work with Gu to protect the great Chu."

Qin Tianjian set April [-] as an auspicious day, and he could ascend the throne.

Chu Heng's imperial robes for ascending the throne have been prepared, with a total of twelve layers. Rong Zhen was also present when he tried them on. Da Chu respects black, and Chu Heng is wearing a black imperial robe embroidered with gold thread and dragon pattern, with a dignified expression and a thin and small body. It seems that it can be a little more majestic and majestic, but Rong Zhen thinks out of time, this dress makes Xiao Heng'er even more petite and cute, and he can try wearing this dress in the future, but it may be troublesome to take it off...
