The emperor is embarrassed

Ming Zhan had just ascended the throne, and there was no one who didn't have eyes and made some bad news at this time.

In fact, the weather these days is also very good, the earth is dyed green, and the willow branches are green.Although there is still a little bit of chill in the wind, spring has come.

Ming Zhan ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the Shou'an Palace early on, preparing to use it as a bedroom for his wife, Princess Wei.In the meantime, Ming Zhan pulled Ruan Hongfei to pick and choose from the color of the walls to the interior furnishings of the Shou'an Palace, choosing and choosing again and again, for fear that there would be something unsatisfactory.

Ming Zhan never paid much attention to food and lodging, but now he is so careful about Shouan Palace, which shows his affection for Princess Wei.

Now that he has ascended the throne, the Shouan Palace has also been repaired.Ming Zhan thought about issuing an edict to make his mother the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, and then personally welcome her into the palace.Ming Zhan even stamped the jade seal with an imperial pen and put it in his bosom, waiting for the support of the officials, and he will be able to discover it immediately.Fist and filial piety can be seen one or two.

Although Feng Jingqian had already greeted the clan and ministers in advance, Ming Zhan mentioned it euphemistically, but he didn't want the ministers to be very enthusiastic and did not support him at all.Yes, the Supreme Emperor has already greeted us, we don't want to oppose it desperately!Let's ignore you, let's see what you do!

Ming Zhan's eyes turned slightly cold, and there was nothing he could do.Although he has a violent temper, he was also furious. Seeing the cold scene in Zhaode Palace at this moment, he was not in a hurry, and instead sighed, "I govern the world with filial piety. When I first ascended the throne, I rewarded the three armies and the clan." Your relatives also rewarded hundreds of officials, but I always feel regretful in my heart, and now I understand it. Since ruling the world with filial piety, how can An Neng have nothing to reward the elderly in the country?"

Ouyang Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, praised, "Long live the wise man." But he refused to say any more, for fear that Ming Zhan would mention the matter of welcoming Princess Wei into the palace as the queen mother.After all, they also knew that Ming Zhan ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to overhaul the Shou'an Palace.

However, Ming Zhan raised their salaries as soon as he took the throne.This is the first public salary increase for a hundred officials since the founding of the Taizu, and the rate is as high as [-]%.Therefore, Ming Zhan's image in the hearts of all officials is really good.

It is very conscientious for Ouyang Ke to agree with Ming Zhan.

Like Mr. Li Pingzhou, he just pretends to be dead and doesn't fart.The rest of them also wish they could become wallflowers immediately and just die with them.

"I have an idea in my heart, and I don't know if it's good or not." Taking a sip of tea from the royal case, Ming Zhan said calmly, "I want to hold a tea party, not to invite you, the third-rank officials in the court Going up, the old mother was taken care of in the imperial capital, I want to meet the old people, and thank them for cultivating such useful bodies and pillars of your country for the country. What do you think?"

Hearing this, several veteran officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, as long as it is not to welcome Princess Wei into the palace, it will be fine.What's more, the emperor wants to see their own mother. It's really a great honor. He quickly responded to Ming Zhan's call, "Long live to respect the old and respect the virtuous, it's really a blessing for me."

"Long live the sage, long live this move, set an example for the people of the world."

Suddenly flattery.

"What's the matter? The Empress Dowager stays in the palace all day. Although there are many people serving her, she likes to talk to the old people with bones." Seeing that the atmosphere was more lively than before, Ming Zhan smiled, "If Ai Qing If you have no objection, let's set it in three days. I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange it. My dear friends just go home and take care of the old lady at home. If the old man is healthy, don't miss the tea party of the Empress Dowager. If the old man is really sick, just tell me, and don’t tire the old man because of my word of mouth. Otherwise, you will misinterpret my good intentions.”

This tone really made the courtiers who had been drumming in their hearts feel at ease from their hair to their heels!

Don't think that the ministers are really like what they say, "the king makes the ministers die and the ministers have to die". If they are so meek, the emperor will not be forced to be alone!

Is it the common people who restrict the emperor?

wrong!

It is these guys who keep saying they are loyal and patriotic to the emperor, silently resisting the imperial power!Of course, even the emperor needs some restraint, which Ming Zhan agrees with.

But when these guys silently objected to welcoming Princess Wei into the palace, forget about the anger in Ming Zhan's heart!You have to pretend to be okay on the face!Go back to Zhaoren Palace and scold the courtiers for being difficult!

"Not a single good thing, it's as if I don't have a wife! Take care of my old lady, and don't care about other people's life or death! Damn! Every day I talk about filial piety, but now I just take my mother into the palace, so I just want it Their fates are the same! Black-hearted ghosts with evil hearts! Fortunately, I gave them a salary increase, I knew this..." Ming Zhan scolded angrily for half an hour, and even drank two cups of herbal tea before resting.

Ruan Hongfei expected it, he saw Ming Zhan was in high spirits earlier, so it was not good to pour cold water on Ming Zhan.Now that this basin of cold water has been poured down by others, seeing Ming Zhan's irritation, he asked knowingly, "Do many people in the court object to welcoming the princess into the palace?"

Ming Zhan was so angry that he took Ruan Hongfei's hand and said, "Objection? I didn't dare to speak at all! I just mentioned the word filial piety, and there was no one to talk to me! How can I go on talking! It's useless to say it! Why should I touch that wall, it's not fun to find it for nothing!"

Feng Jingqian said softly beside him, "Forget it, I just ordered it, who would dare to resist the order and not obey it! They want to tell me if they have something to say, anyway, I will go to Yunnan in a few days, so I'm not afraid of them talking."

"No need. I can't rely on my father for everything. I always want you to stand out for me, and they don't take me seriously anymore!" Ming Zhan gritted his teeth, "There is already a solution!"

Ruan Hongfei and Feng Jingqian looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and their hearts were in suspense.Not to mention anything else, Ming Zhan's head was born out of the ordinary, Feng Jingqian was really worried, and couldn't help asking, "What's the way?"

Ming Zhan sneered twice, "Just wait and see how good it is." It's still a secret.

Fang Qing came in from the outside and said in a respectful voice: "Go back to the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the third prince of Tatar, please see me."

Ming Zhan glanced at Ruan Hongfei: What is that kid doing!

In fact, Ming Zhan's impression in the hearts of his courtiers was not bad.

Lord Wang said to Li Pingzhou in private, "Actually, it's nothing for the princess to enter the palace, she is the emperor's own mother after all. The emperor will not be happy if the princess lives outside like this."

Li Pingzhou firmly opposed Princess Wei's entry into the palace, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid of anything else, Brother Rui'an, we are all veterans who have passed the reign of the late emperor. Back then, the Fang family dared to approve the memorial because of the favor of the late emperor. How rampant! This concubine was brought up by the Fang family when she was young, and it is precisely because she is the emperor's biological mother that we must guard against it!"

"If you ask me, the Fang family is just the late emperor's wife, but the current concubine is the emperor's mother, and the concubine has only the emperor's son." Daren Wang said, "Furthermore, the emperor and the late emperor have very different temperaments. The emperor's temperament, The power will definitely not fall to the side, not to mention the relationship between the empress dowager and the emperor has always been good. The emperor has no intention of choosing a concubine to be the empress. The old man takes care of the affairs of the harem."

In fact, when the Empress Dowager was young, no one had counted on him.

Li Pingzhou said, "The emperor's two concubines are both from famous families. Even if the emperor's concubines are young and tender, there are still a few concubines around, so why worry about no one to take care of them." Such a great thing, who would do it and who would not be happy?

Mr. Wang saw that he couldn't talk to his old friend, so he could only say, "The emperor has always been virtuous since he first came to the throne. As ministers, we know that the emperor misses his mother, but let the princess hang out outside the palace. After all, it is out of kindness."

People like Wang Rui'an in Qingliu all sighed this, not to mention the many ministers who wanted to speculate to make Ming Zhan happy.Li Pingzhou sighed softly, and asked Wang Rui'an, "Is there a lesson from Princess Ning?"

This is a show. When the emperor ascended the throne, envoys from various countries came to congratulate him. The Zhennan Palace is where Princess Ning is present. Whether it is in celebrations or banquets, Ming Qi is dressed in men's clothes and sits with the officials!

As the censor of Zuodu, Wang Rui'an immediately said, "His Royal Highness should go to the apse to serve the Empress Dowager."

Ming Qi glanced at Wang Rui'an, and sat at the head of the clan seat with a sword and golden horse, and replied bluntly, "This is the rule of my Zhennan Palace."

Choke a bunch of men to death!

Now that Li Pingzhou mentioned Ming Qi, Wang Rui'an also had some lingering fears, and reluctantly said, "There are hundreds of ethnic groups living in Yunnan, Princess Ning grew up in Yunnan, and she has a weird temper."

"Long live Lord also grew up in Yunnan." Li Pingzhou said bluntly.This is even weirder!What a monster!

Wang Rui'an disagreed with this point of view, "How can this be the same? Wan Sui came to the imperial capital when he was young, and was brought up in the palace by the Supreme Emperor, which is the most polite."

"The emperor sits and watches Princess Ning take power in the Southwest." Li Pingzhou's wrinkles are full of concern for the country and the people's loyalty, "If Princess Ning gives birth to an heir in the future, the Southwest may change!"

Wang Rui'an is not someone who is easy to be persuaded. He smiled and said, "Brother Li is worrying too much, not to mention that the Southwest is in the hands of King Zhennan now. Even the Supreme Emperor has already said that after the Zen position, he will go to Yunnan to recuperate his body. How could Yunnan, where the Supreme Emperor and Zhennan King sit in the town, fall into the hands of other people? What we thought of, could it be that Long Live and the prince couldn’t think of it? The prince is in good health. Princess Ning is not stupid if she can take power. It's overthinking."

Li Pingzhou also knew that he was exaggerating, and sighed with a smile, "I hope so." After all, he refused to reveal his tone and welcomed Princess Wei into the palace.

Compared with the courtier Qingliu, the dignitaries obviously don't have so many worries.

Wei Guogong went back to the mansion and talked with Princess Jingmin about the affairs of the court, and sighed, "I see what the emperor means, that he wants to welcome the queen mother into the palace." Seeing how knowledgeable he is, he even changed his address in private.

The eldest princess Jingmin has been promoted to a higher level since Ming Zhan ascended the throne, from the eldest princess to the eldest princess.Moreover, her family's short-lived daughter, Xiaojun Jun, also enjoyed a reward in the Yin Division and was posthumously named Queen Zhenyuan.As the natal family of Empress Zhenyuan, Duke Wei received many rewards.

Eldest Princess Jingmin said, "Sister Yu is the emperor's own mother, and there is nothing to choose about her background. She is also the Empress Dowager. She should have been welcomed into the palace long ago. I have never heard of the Queen Mother outside the palace. , the reason why the emperor is in the palace." His brows raised, revealing a touch of surprise, "What's the matter, listening to the son-in-law's voice, could it be that this matter has not been settled yet?"

Wei Guogong changed his court clothes and sighed, "How can it be so easy? The emperor kept mentioning it, but no one in the court answered the question, how can the emperor mention it?"

"How do you say this? If others don't say it, the son-in-law should say it too. Not to mention that we have already gotten close to the Yongning Hou Mansion, even if we look at the face of our daughter, the son-in-law shouldn't watch the emperor suffer in court. "When mentioning the fateful daughter, Eldest Princess Jingmin couldn't help but her eyes turned red.Such a great blessing, why is my daughter so unlucky?

Wei Guogong patted his wife on the back lightly, and sighed, "A few cabinet ministers and ministers didn't say anything about this matter, and Marquis Yongning didn't say anything. I would make people laugh if I wanted to jump out and say it. Although I have intentions, it's not how I use it." Son. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"I'm fine these few days, so I'll just go and see the Queen Mother." Eldest Princess Jingmin sighed, "I'm not worried about the Queen Mother, she's always been happy. It's just that it's not easy for her to come out and walk around at this time of year. Although I am a few years older than her, she grew up in her mother's harem since she was a child, and she is the same as a real sister."

"That's good." The benefits of the princess's wife are finally reflected, and she can directly communicate with the highest level.

"Ask Sister Taiyang to go with me." Princess Jingmin thought of something, and then sighed, "No one is as lucky as Sister Taiyang. I heard that Shuyi is married again." My daughter-in-law has been married for many years but only has one child Daughter, even though the eldest son also has two concubines, she is no more precious than the first son Jin.

"Brother Ming was originally the only one in the Marquis of Shou'an's mansion. Since he married Shuyi, he has grown up, and his official career has become even more satisfactory. No one in the Manchu Dynasty would say that Shuyi is a prosperous husband." Eldest Princess Jingmin said in a rather tone-deaf tone. Feeling sour, his eldest son is old, Mingyan pointed out that they were already married when they got married, and there was no relationship between husband and wife at all.The concubine is about the same age as Mingyan, not to mention that Princess Jingmin didn't mean it at all at the time, even if she was moved, Mingyan's first title was the princess, and it was absolutely impossible for her to marry the concubine of the Duke's mansion.

Now the sour complaints are just a little jealous of Princess Taiyang's good luck.

Princess Wei is not in the Zhennan Palace at this time.

Originally, Princess Wei was always in the capital, and she just took care of the household affairs in the mansion, compared with when she was in Yunnan, it was just a way to kill time.Unexpectedly, early in the morning, someone from the General Lu's Mansion came to report: Princess Shurou was in labor.

Although Ming Ya was only a county lord in the past, with the help of Ming Zhan's Dongfeng, she was promoted to six levels in a row, and became the eldest princess directly, which is equal to Ming Yan.It's just that the Princess Mansion hasn't been tidied up for a while, and Ming Ya's delivery date is approaching, so she still lives in Lu's house.

Ming Qi is good at other things, but she is a little at a loss when it comes to women giving birth.

Yang Zhuo is a doctor, male.

Men and women are not close to each other.

Furthermore, Yang Zhuo never delivered a baby.

Ming Qi asked, "Did you invite the imperial physician?"

The housekeeper lady who came to deliver the letter wiped the sweat from her forehead, knelt down and replied, "Please, the judges from the left courtyard of the Supreme Hospital have gone, look, it's really not good to look at the princess..."

Concubine Wei had an accident when she gave birth to Ming Qi and Ming Zhan. Therefore, there is only this pair of children in this life.Immediately said, "I'll go and see Mingya."

Ming Qi didn't say anything, and directly ordered people to prepare carriages, horses and manpower, Princess Wei hurried away without changing her clothes.

The housekeeper of the Lu family was almost paralyzed with fright, this, this is the emperor's own mother! ! !

The Lu family's embarrassment was nothing more than the fear that Mingya would have something difficult to explain to the royal family, so they hurriedly sent someone to the Zhennan Palace to deliver a letter, but they didn't expect that Princess Wei would come in person, and immediately jumped up.Princess Wei glanced at the family indifferently, "Be quiet." She went straight into the delivery room.

In the legendary life of Empress Dowager Wenrui, there are only three people who were truly praised by the Empress Dowager in the history books.The first is Emperor Jing, Feng Jingqian, Empress Dowager Wenrui, the mind of Emperor Jing is rare in the world.The second is Feng Mingzhan, Emperor Wu, the son of Empress Dowager Wenrui.The third place is Lu Tianjia, Marquis of Xiangyang, who was conferred the title of marquis by scholars in the Dafeng Dynasty, starting from Xiangyang.

The miraculous Marquis of Xiangyang was born under the watchful eye of the Empress Dowager Wenrui. In fact, the Marquis of Xiangyang has no blood relationship with the Empress Dowager Wenrui.However, the relationship between the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Empress Dowager Wenrui is extremely harmonious and intimate, and they are indispensable and important figures in the ruling career of the Empress Dowager Wenrui.

The great historian Zeng Yun said: Xiangyang is to Wenrui what Fan Xiang is to Emperor Wu.

In the life of the Marquis of Xiangyang, he went through three dynasties and three emperors.
