Cheng Ping's legacy

In a blink of an eye, the prince has been on the throne for half a year.The two kings of Longxi and Linzi had no heirs to get rid of their kingdoms, and begged to return to the imperial capital because of their old age. The emperor begged again and again, but the two kings had made up their minds, so the emperor finally agreed, ordered people to build a palace in Chang'an, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange to welcome the two kings .

It will take at least half a year for the second king to arrive in Beijing, and it is far from urgent. The real headache for everyone in the Ministry of Rites is another major event - half a year after the change of the Yuan Dynasty, and the successor is still in vain.

As soon as the court was over, Su Jingming, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, went directly to Zhongshu Province. It is said that he wanted to report the matter to Zhao Xiangqian, which shows how anxious he is.

"I've seen Prime Minister Zhao." Su Jingming hastily cupped his hands, and took out a document from his sleeve.

Zhao Zixi glanced at him and wanted to take it, but Su Jingming raised his hand, hid behind him, and looked at him narrowly, "I've already made up my mind about the selection, so it depends on what Zhao Xiang wants to exchange."

Zhao Zixi was unmoved, leaning on the table, "What's mine is yours, why bother to be so indifferent?"

Seeing that Su Jingming raised his brows, he changed his words leisurely, "It's better to owe it first, and when you think about what you want in the future, I will allow you."

Su Jing took a clear look at him, and handed the document to him, "I don't know why, the King of Longxi wants His Majesty to patrol the border to reward the three armies, and then he will return to Beijing with His Majesty. What do you think he thinks? If he acts like this, let him go." In the eyes of the people in the world, wouldn't it be as if His Majesty went to Longyou to meet him in person? Even if he is His Majesty's emperor's uncle, he is only a vassal after all, so what do you think of the majesty of the Tian family?"

Zhao Zixi took the document and scanned it ten lines at a glance, "After the Longxi and Linzi palaces are abolished, Your Majesty intends to set up the Anxi Protectorate in Liangzhou and the Andong Protectorate in Jizhou, and the Anxi Protectorate is more important. Originally, Your Majesty My plan is to let the Anxi Protector hand over to the prince, and then order someone to escort the prince back to the capital, but I never thought that the prince would let His Majesty go by himself."

"It doesn't make sense," Su Jingming sat down at some point and was sipping tea, "But I like it."

Zhao Zixi looked at him helplessly, he couldn't understand why the Supreme Emperor chose such a deviant person to be Minister of Rites, "If His Majesty agrees, it's okay, and it's also a good time for the Longxi Army and border residents to see the imperial court's favor."

Su Jingming nodded, "Forget it, the Son of Heaven is patrolling the border... My Ritual Department is busy again."

"As for the harem matter..." Zhao Zixi hesitated.

Su Jingming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The mountain people have their own tricks."

Not long after, a piece of news spread up and down the Tianqi Dynasty through Wu Shaoqing's mouth.

It seemed that the emperor handled the court affairs with ease, and finally freed up his hands to solve lifelong affairs, as if to prove what Wu Shaoqing said was true, and the Ministry of Rites was also in a hurry to announce it to the world.All of a sudden, all the officials, big and small, who had daughters who had not left the court, heard the news, and all the rouge and gouache, silk and satin, and even hairpins and rings in the entire Chang'an city were robbed.

Just as the lords and wives were happily waiting for their daughters to fly to the branches, and the ladies in the boudoir fell asleep thinking about the legendary emperor's majesty, who was so handsome and magnificent, another news exploded like a thunderbolt on the ground, shattering everyone's wishful thinking Smashed it.

Within a month, several maidservants who used to serve in the East Palace fell ill one after another, some of them passed away, some of them were unconscious; and on the day when the Ministry of Rites issued the notice, the Pearl Mirror Hall, the former residence of Concubine Lin, in the palace leaked water. , the flames lit up half of Chang'an City red.

The old man Yuan of Qin Tianjian was drunk in Shengheju one day, and accidentally slipped his mouth. The current emperor is a rare fate of eternal loneliness.Although he is used to talking crazy, but he often tells the truth, people can't help but be dubious.

A few days later, old man Yuan was downgraded to two grades for disrespect in front of the palace, and was fined for one year. Afterwards, he even categorically denied the drunken talk that night.Su Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites solemnly clarified in an elegant collection of gentry's talks on a certain day that the Holy Majesty only dabbled in metaphysics at most, and the theory of restraining wives and sons is nonsense.

We must know human nature, the more high-sounding the court's explanation, the less convincing it is, and the more clarification it tries, the more it seems that there is no money here... Everyone thought of Gu Bing, who was devoted to Taoism and never married. After coming back, King Luo regained his old career and became more and more obsessed with Taoism. Coupled with the selection case last year, he couldn't help but start to hesitate again.

Just when everyone was timid and hesitated, the sage issued an edict stating that this life is doomed to have no heirs, so the selection was stopped and the harem was abolished; all the sons of the kings were ordered to enter the Taixue, and His Majesty will choose the best to educate them; He returned to his hometown to marry himself; and because there were no female relatives in the palace, eunuchs were no longer selected during the Taiping period, and private executions by the people were strictly prohibited.

The emperor's edict caught everyone by surprise, and the officials of Yushitai were about to go up to persuade them, but they were stopped by the scheming Zheng Wenlu.

"I'm afraid there is something hidden about this matter. The saint had a serious illness a year ago. After the sacrifice, the son of King Yong died, and King Yong himself became a monk... Besides, the princes of Zongzheng Temple have never spoken, and you are fucking What heart?"

Everyone thought about it carefully, and they all felt that this matter had a lot to do with it, and these officials were also very sensible. How could they want to offend the king for these unspeakable things?

Therefore, under the insistence of the king, the acquiescence of the Supreme Emperor, and the silence of the ministers, the matter has become a foregone conclusion.

There are thousands of palaces and palaces, and the gates of the city are opened one after another.

Dozens of small green gauze carriages drove out slowly, and from time to time, some maids lifted the curtains and looked back, with tears in their eyes, overjoyed, as if they couldn't believe that they would really be able to leave this man-eating palace someday .

"Your Majesty is merciful." On Penglai Mountain, Pei Xingzhi took half a step behind Xuanyuan Mian, and they climbed to the south together.

Xuanyuan Mian smiled, "Why bother them. 'The room is empty, the autumn night is long, the night is long without sleep and the sky is not clear', among other things, the last time a palace man was elected was Deze ten years, and the palace man who entered the palace at that time It was only released today, even if it was fourteen or fifteen years old when it entered the palace, it is still nearly thirty now, speaking of it, my heavenly family is unkind, and I wasted half of my life in vain."

Pei Xingzhi sighed in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he had played tricks on Qin Pei back then, saying, "Even if you are the supreme being in the world, you are often no match for a single word in the end", doesn't it seem like it has come true now?

The word love is the most hurtful.

"I want to ask something presumptuous. If he doesn't return for a day, His Majesty can wait for a day. If he doesn't return for a year, His Majesty can wait for a year. But if he never returns, does His Majesty have to wait forever?"

Xuanyuan Mian glanced at the rippling Taiye Pond, and couldn't help but look to the north, "I promised him to wait, so he will wait naturally. At that time, I was the prince, still a thousand years old, and now I am the emperor. Long live, I can afford to wait."

The author has something to say: some of the palace maids were poisoned with the crown prince before, and some of them were liquidated. The nails were not killed for this purpose...

The reason why Xiao Gu didn’t appear is actually because I don’t think it’s necessary. After all, he’s no longer able to promote the plot and explain some previous things. Lord Wang Chensou appeared on the stage because they promoted the plot, and the rest of them were because they were witnesses in Chang'an

I think Xiao Gu is a bit reluctant to appear on the stage, and he is not arranged for his part. The previous generation only considered scumbag Qin so far.
