There is no phoenix

Jia Mu sighed: "Yuanyang, you husband and wife don't blame us, but how can I feel at ease?"

Yuanyang said: "Old lady, everything is over, the emperor benevolent, helped us build a new house, although there is nothing now, but it will get better soon."

Not long after the mandarin ducks left, Suyun, Li Wan's girl, also brought over two bolts of cotton cloth, saying that Li Wan would make shoes and socks for everyone.Mother Jia asked Aunt Zhao to pick it up, and asked Pinger to pick some vegetables from the vegetable field for Suyun to bring back.

Because Shui Ruoyang has already decided on the position of Zen, this year's New Year in the palace is extremely festive.From the first day to the third day of the first lunar month, Shui Ruoyang entertained his clan relatives in the Tai Chi Hall.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Shui Ruoyang asked Li Bing from Ruyi Garden to move to Yunyang Palace behind Daming Palace. Spend old age.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Prince Shuizawa began to supervise the administration of the country.Except for the court, all the government affairs of Shui Ruoyang were taken care of by the prince.

The [-]th day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and the excitement of the festival cannot be left behind, and various ceremonies to be prepared for the new emperor's ascension to the throne are also busy with preparations.

The sixteenth is an important day.Early in the morning, Shui Ze put on a yellow uniform. Surrounded by many maids and eunuchs, he first went to Yunyang Palace to meet Shui Ruoyang. Quan led Shuize to Chengde Hall.

Today's Chengde Hall has been reorganized by the palace people, but many of the interior decorations have not changed.Shui Ze looked at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar palace, and the bits and pieces of getting along with Shui Ruoyang since childhood suddenly emerged before his eyes.Starting today, the most noble palace in the palace will change its owner, and he will become the Ninety-Five Supreme of the Celestial Dynasty.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Shuizawa knew that it must be the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to welcome Shuize to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Agriculture and the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices.Mizusawa sat upright on the dragon table, his clear and dark eyes were full of firmness and longing. After receiving the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came in one after another, he walked out of the palace surrounded by everyone and boarded the emperor's chariot waiting outside.

After a while, the bells and drums rang three times in a row, and the resonant bells and drums broke the tranquility of Daming Palace. The officials of Mizusawa and the Ministry of Rites had already finished offering sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven, Nongtan and Taimiao, and the grand and grand ascension ceremony was about to begin. To kick off.

Outside the Golden Luan Hall, civil and military officials in court uniforms had been waiting for a long time, and the guard of honor of the emperor Mizusawa they were looking forward to finally stopped on the large square in front of the hall.

Because yesterday was the Lantern Festival, and today is the old emperor's direct meditation seat, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the sound of ceremonies and music was everywhere festive, and the whole ceremony was in a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

Mizusawa is dressed in a golden gown suit, and the nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the dragon robe look dignified and majestic. At the age of 33, he is firm and composed, with even steps. The steps went up all the way, calmly boarded the steps outside the Golden Luan Hall and stood still, then turned around and looked down at the many civil and military officials who shouted long live.

Praying to heaven and earth is a necessary ceremony for the succession of the new emperor. After the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the edict of the new emperor's succession, the officials once again shouted long live.Then Mizusawa turned around and entered the Golden Luan Hall to take his seat, and the civil and military officials outside the hall filed into the hall to express their congratulations according to their rank.

Shui Ze supported the golden faucets on both sides of the dragon chair with both hands, and looked at the civil and military officials on both sides, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.Since he was established as a prince at the age of ten, he has witnessed several bloody storms in the royal family. He once wished that he could just be an ordinary king and live an ordinary life. However, because he was the only son of the empress at that time, It seems that he is destined to be the crown prince.

He has always been the pride of the emperor and the empress. He has long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, is elegant and motivated, and cares and loves all the emperor's younger brothers, especially his younger brother Shui Rong who is 12 years younger than himself.A brother of the same mother, Shui Rong naturally likes to learn martial arts and be active, but he prefers to be quiet.To this naughty and clever younger brother, Mizusawa is like an elder.Sometimes Mizusawa thought, it would be great if this younger brother was born a few years earlier, and he would rather give the crown prince position to this domineering younger brother who is good at literature and martial arts. was born later.

Shui Ze vividly remembered the countless times when his birth mother was a queen and her mother loved the world, but she shed tears in the empty room alone.I dare not blame the father of the emperor, but I can't forget the resentment and tears of my mother.That beautiful face is often filled with loneliness and helplessness, and the sound of the strings has poured out the mother's endless grief.The mother was not yet 40 years old, but the long-term resentment and unspeakable sorrow made this once magnificent and peerless beauty suffer from illness for many years, and finally left herself and her brother Shui Rong to pass away.

"Ze'er, your father is working very hard. The queen mother doesn't blame your father. I hope that in the next life, our family will be ordinary people and be together every day, okay?"

"Empress mother, my son doesn't want to be a prince and emperor, and I don't want to marry as many women as my father did in the future. Why don't you choose another emperor's younger brother to be the prince?"

"Queen mother, why don't you give birth to a royal brother for my son? Let my son respect you and accompany you in the future, and let your son be the crown prince, okay?"

The past was like a dream, although he knew that he would succeed to the throne one day, he never expected it would be so soon, because his father Shui Ruoyang was still in such a healthy body.

From now on, I am the emperor above ten thousand people, life is so impermanent.He didn't want to be a prince, but he had to.Don't want to be a king, but he has to.He didn't want to marry many women, but on the same day he married the woman he liked, his father asked him to marry two other women at the same time.

Just yesterday, my father warned himself that being an emperor is different from being a prince.Originally in the East Palace, apart from the duties of the prince, other life was basically free. However, as the emperor, except for the government, all the concubines must be exposed to rain and dew. officer's words and deeds.

Shui Ze is now 33 years old, but has only one son, Shui Yunqing, which is a royal taboo.

Shui Ruoyang told Shuize that in March there will be a number of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River who will pay tribute, and the emperor must take advantage of his youth to spread more branches and leaves.In fact, these words were not clearly stated between father and son, and Shui Ze also understood Shui Ruoyang's meaning.For so many years, only the Crown Princess gave birth to children in the East Palace, and no matter how stupid people are, they can guess the reason.If there is no good news from the other concubines after ascending the throne, not to mention the records of the respect room, I am afraid that the officials will have objections.

The most taboo of the emperor is to favor only one person. To stabilize the government, the harem must be stabilized first.Only when the government and the harem are stable, the border will be stable and the world will be peaceful.

While Shui Ze was receiving congratulations from the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace, the Crown Princess Zhang Yan, who was already a queen, was also receiving concubines at the Kunning Palace.Just yesterday, the eunuch, the head of the respect room, informed the ancestors of the new emperor's daily life, and asked the princess to take her only son, Shui Yunqing, to see Shui Ruoyang. All agreed.

Looking at all the decorations in Kunning Palace, showing the majesty of the world everywhere, Zhang Yan couldn't be happy.Because starting from today, she has to spend time with countless women in the palace. Except for the first and fifteenth day of the first day, the emperor can go to any woman to rest.Even if Mizusawa wanted to come to accompany him, he had to worry about the emperor's pampering this ancestral precept.

Now besides Zhang Yan, Shuize has four side concubines, and the canonized titles will be sent to each concubine's palace in the afternoon.From tomorrow onwards, more and more women will be sealed.And Zhang Yan, the empress, had to be enthusiastic and magnanimous to prepare for the Jiangnan beauty who entered the palace in March.

The various ceremonies of Mizusawa's ascension to the throne were busy until Shenshi in the afternoon, and then he returned to Chengde Hall.

Today is the first day of enthronement, because he is busy with various ceremonies, a large memorial of Chengde Hall is still waiting for approval.Mizusawa looked at the excerpt for a while, and saw that the head of the respect room came to ask about the rest place tonight, and Mizusawa was in a daze for a while.

"Today is the first day of my enthronement, shall I go to the queen's place?" Mizusawa asked tentatively.

That was too much monitoring, so without saying a word, he turned and walked out.

An hour later, Shuize brought his personal eunuch Xia Shouming to Queen Zhang's place. Queen Zhang hurried forward, but she didn't dare to throw herself into Shuize's arms like before, and just looked at Shuize quietly.Shui Ze quickly grabbed Zhang Yan's hand and said, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Father, I miss you so much, I still want to go back to the East Palace, I don't like this place."

Shui Yunqing's voice resolved the short-term restraint of the couple.Shui Ze hugged Shui Yunqing, kissed her vigorously, sat down with a smile and said, "Yan'er, come here and see how cute our emperor is."
