Chapter 23

Extra Story: Emperor's Road

The first time Wen Yanfeng met the third prince, Jin Junyu, was outside the main entrance of Chenhua Palace.

The third prince smashed the Empress' empress's blue-and-white vase with cloud and dragon patterns, which was a holiday gift from the emperor to the empress.

So the emperor raised his eyebrows and rewarded the little prince with twenty big boards.

The little person was pressed on the bench, and the taller than a person hit the weak body with a court stick. The sound of the board hitting the flesh was heart-palpiating, but Jin Junyu gritted his teeth and did not say a word. After a while.

Wen Yanfeng looked at the two buttocks that had been spanked colorfully, but the indelible tenacity in his eyes made him think that this child was different.

At that time, Wen Yanfeng had just returned to the capital, followed his father into the palace to face the saint, the late emperor praised him as a pillar of talent, so he bestowed him as a seventh-rank captain.

That year, Huaiyuan General Xia Houyan quelled the turmoil in the northern Tatars and returned with a great victory.The first emperor changed his reign name to Jinghe, and held a banquet for his officials in the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

That day was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month in the first year of Jinghe.

At that time Wen Yanfeng was 16 years old, and Jin Junyu had just turned six.

Jin Junyu's mother was a talented Xu family in the harem before he was born, and her father was just a little county magistrate.

The former emperor was diligent in administration and had no intention of female sex, and the empress was monopolistic, so there were not many princes in the harem.

Xu Cairen looks very juicy, not the kind of particularly bright and outstanding beauty, but it makes people feel comfortable and natural after seeing her for a long time, so after she was recruited by the first emperor, the empress did not have any black hands on her.

Xu Cairen is also considered a lucky person. The first emperor was lucky enough to conceive a dragon seed twice. The first emperor was very happy, and directly conferred the title of a fourth-rank beauty, and when the third prince was born, he added a third-rank Jieyu.

It is not easy to support a child in the harem, let alone a prince.Xu Jieyu had been extremely careful when she was pregnant, and it was with great difficulty that Jin Junyu was born safely. The road ahead will only be more difficult.

The second time Wen Yanfeng saw Jin Junyu was outside Chenhua Hall.

Chen Meiren, who had just entered the palace, had a miscarriage after eating the red bean cake that Xu Zhaoyuan gave her. The emperor demoted Xu Zhaoyuan to a commoner in a rage, just because the prince didn't put her in the cold palace and confine her in the palace.

The third prince cried out for his mother and was fined to kneel outside the Chenhua Hall for three whole days.

Wen Yanfeng looked at the boy's pale face, his lips were blue and purple from the cold, the thin clothes were soaked in snow and cold sweat, and they were tightly attached to the thin body, and there was more in the once tough eyes Resentment and hatred.

He said: The last thing a man needs is pity from others.If you want to clear your mother's grievances, you have to rely on your own ability, not waiting here for another person's charity.

At that time, he was already a fourth-rank general and was about to leave Beijing to join the army to garrison the border.

That year was the winter of the sixth year of Jinghe, Wen Yanfeng was 22 years old, and Jin Junyu was 12 years old.

Wen Yanfeng's father worshiped the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the third rank, and was highly appreciated by the late emperor.

At that time, the Dajin Dynasty had not experienced a war for many years, and the occasional border riots were quickly suppressed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The court opened Enke widely, and some corrupt officials gradually surfaced.

Wen Shilang is an honest and upright official, never willing to join forces with others, and is often excluded in the court.

The first emperor also wanted to punish these people who bent the law for personal gain many times, but the forces in the court were complicated and the power of foreign relatives was difficult to get rid of.

The first emperor was old and weak.

On the first emperor's 60th birthday, Wen Shilang was framed and imprisoned for reporting an imperial examination fraud case.

Wen Yanfeng was summoned back to Beijing.

That was the third time he saw the third prince, Jin Junyu, and it was still outside the Chenhua Palace.

Mrs. Xu has died of illness in the harem, and the third prince has been granted the title of Prince Yu.

He was not punished outside the Chenhua Hall that day, but was waiting here specially for Wen Yanfeng's arrival.

He said: You once said that a man does not need pity and charity from others, but now your father's life is hanging by a thread, and the power of life and death rests with that man's thought.I just want to see if you really never bow your head.

Wen Yanfeng smiled slightly: The big one is the world, the second one is the monarch and his ministers, so it is ruled.I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I don't need to ask for anything from others.

Then he walked into the gate of Chenhua Hall, and when he came out again, he was already the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the second rank.

Wen Shilang was later released without charge, but unfortunately he was lynched in the prison of Dali Temple and became ill.

That year, the late emperor knew that he was getting old, so he ordered the establishment of a cabinet to assist the government, and appointed Wen Yanfeng as the first and auxiliary minister.

It was the spring of Jinghe's 11th year, and the peach blossoms in the palace had not yet bloomed.

At that time, Wen Yanfeng had already become a legend of the Great Jin Dynasty. He was 27 years old and Jin Junyu was 17 years old.

After that, there will be more opportunities for Wen Yanfeng and Jin Junyu to meet each other.

The first emperor lived in seclusion and seldom went to court, and the crown prince did not stand up for a long time.

The government is jointly managed by the two princes and the cabinet ministers.

Prince Rui likes to invite Wen Shangshu to the house for a drink or two after coming down to court, while Prince Yu prefers to scold Wen Yanfeng for only amassing money and seizing power when the cabinet is discussing politics, and has no regard for the suffering of the people.

When the first emperor was 63 years old, he suddenly suffered a serious illness and fell into a coma for seven days. The entire imperial hospital was helpless.

The first emperor urgently recruited Wen Yanfeng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xia Houyan, the general of Huaiyuan, and Jin Qingyue, the virtuous prince, into the palace.

Before his sick bed, he said: Back then when I was the eldest son, that person asserted that I was not a talent of the emperor and refused to serve me, but my father was no match for the letters written by the officials, and still passed on the throne to me.

Over the years, I have been conscientious, diligent and caring for the people. I dare not make the slightest mistake, but I am always unable to do what I want.

I am always indecisive and easy to be provoked by words. I know that the officialdom is corrupt, but I am afraid of the turmoil in the current situation and dare not make great efforts to eliminate corrupt officials. I can't bear to be more harsh.

If I say that the only thing I can be proud of in my life is that you three virtuous ministers guard this thousand-mile mountain and river for me.

I don't have much time now, and I still have my last wish, which is to hope that you can support the third prince to ascend to the throne of God for me, assist him to become a generation of Mingjun, and create a peaceful and prosperous era for the Dajin Dynasty.

******************************************************************************

Jin Junyu actually didn't want to think about how he and Wen Yanfeng met.

Because he always appeared suddenly at his most embarrassing time every time, as if it was a deliberate mockery from God.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the mother and concubine made her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The mother and concubine said that it was the osmanthus tree that the father planted in the mother's palace in the year he was born.

He happily ran to the Chenhua Palace, wanting to take his father and emperor to taste it together, but in the imperial garden, he ran into Caiyu, the maid beside the queen.

Holding a celadon vase, she smashed it into pieces on the ground in front of her, and then burst into tears, saying that the third prince dropped the mid-autumn gift from her father.

At that time, he didn't understand what it meant at all, he just stood there at a loss, thinking about whether he would not be able to eat the osmanthus cake from his mother and concubine today, even when his father questioned him, he would just nod foolishly .

That day outside the Chenhua Hall, he was fined [-] boards in public.

Although the concubine mother would beat him on the hand when he was not serious about his studies before, he had never experienced such pain, and every time he hit it, he seemed to want to break himself.

He didn't cry that day, because when he was in the most pain, he saw the figure of that person passing by in a hurry.

She was dressed in a blue silk shirt, embroidered with light blue peach blossoms, with a thin and tall character, which was extraordinarily handsome and detached.

He knew that that person saw him too, and that gaze was a kind of scrutiny and judgment, as if the teacher in the academy was correcting his homework, which made people not like it.

The eunuch in the palace told him that the man was Wen Yanfeng, the youngest son of the Minister of Rites, and his father seemed to appreciate him very much.

He didn't want to know this at all, he only knew that the concubine mother cried quietly for a long time after the imperial doctor left that day, and after that year, the osmanthus tree in the concubine's palace never bloomed again.

In the autumn of the second year, Wen Yanfeng became the groom's official and married Shen Ruxin, the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

That day he stood on the city tower, watching the procession of welcoming the bride walking down the long street, and Wen Yanfeng, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, was riding on the horse, feeling proud of the spring breeze.

He inexplicably felt a little intrusive.

After five years, the father's gray hair gradually increased, and wrinkles covered his forehead.

In those few days, the royal father was suddenly very happy. There was no new prince born in the palace for a long time, and it was heard that Chen Meiren was three months pregnant.

At that time, the father held his hand lovingly: If you have a little brother in the coming year, you should take good care of him, play with him, and teach him to read and write.Father is old, your brother has a bad temper, this brother will be handed over to you for protection.

He nodded seriously.

Early the next morning, he excitedly took a few puppets made for him by his former mother and concubine to see his unborn younger brother. When he walked out of the palace gate, he heard that his mother and concubine had been punished by the emperor and had been removed. All the news of the seal and confinement.

If he couldn't see his mother and concubine, he could only go outside Chenhua Hall to beg his father for mercy.

He knelt down for three days in a row.

It was already winter at that time, and he watched with his own eyes that the first snowfall in early winter covered the imperial city with a vast expanse of whiteness.

He was hungry, cold, and his knees hurt.

He always thought of the past in the winter, when the charcoal fire was burning in the house, the mother and concubine hugged him, ate hot pastries, and told his favorite stories.

He saw the man again.

The childishness of a teenager has completely faded away, and he is even taller and taller.

His eyes were colder than before, looking at him from scrutiny to contempt.

He was laughing at his own incompetence, only begging for charity and mercy from others.

But what does that matter?As long as the mother and concubine can be well.

At that time, he wanted to answer him like this, but he was too cold to speak.

After all, the concubine mother still couldn't survive that winter.

I heard that she locked herself in the room alone, crying and crying, always calling her name.Later, he became seriously ill, was in a daze, and left soon after.

He was fostered under the Queen's name.

At the age of 15, he was granted the title of Prince Yu and had his own fiefdom. Together with his elder brother, he began to learn how to deal with government affairs.

There are many things in the officialdom that are completely different from those in the books, dirty, dirty, and contemptible.

He proposed the implementation of new policies in front of his father many times, and wrote more than ten pages of eloquent memorials.

But the father just silently put the memorial together and put it aside, he said: Yu'er, these things are not something you can do now.

He is not satisfied.

Secretly contacted honest and upright officials in the DPRK and China in an attempt to thoroughly investigate the Jiangnan imperial examination fraud that has been plagued for many years.

He didn't know what had gone wrong.

Wen Shilang was accused of accepting bribes and put into the prison of Dali Temple.

That person finally came back.

Outside the Chenhua Hall, he actually wanted to plead with his father, Wen Shilang, but after seeing that person's figure, he felt inexplicably angry.

Back then you laughed at me for being overconfident, so what about you!Your biological father is dying, can you still be so calm and proud?Just like what you told me back then.

However, he guessed wrong again.

In Chenhua Palace that day, he didn't know what happened, but he heard the faint sigh of his father in a trance.

That person changed suddenly and became the head of the officials of the Dajin Dynasty.

Wen Shilang died of a serious illness, but luckily he kept his reputation of incorruptibility throughout his life.

The way he looked at himself changed from contempt to an unapproachable indifference.

Three years.

It only took him three short years to truly become a man of the Dajin Dynasty.

Almost none of the officials who were exiled, demoted, and who had been friends with him in the thorough investigation of the imperial examination fraud case were spared.

These are the means of Mr. Shoufu.

Autocratic, arbitrary, clean, neat.

He could only silently watch those people leave the capital.

I still remember that it was a spring day, and there was a peach blossom tree with luxuriant branches and leaves at the gate of the city.

He made an oath under the tree: If one day, I am the king and he is the minister, I will definitely get back all the humiliation and unwillingness.

Dajin Dynasty, the first year of Qinghe.

He sat upright in the Xuanzheng Hall and accepted the worship of all officials.

【Finish】
