[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

After Yan Lide came out of the Han Mansion, he went straight to the Anchangbo Mansion.The servants of the Yan family had already prepared gifts and waited outside the Han residence, and followed him, driving three carriages, which shows that Yan Lide attaches great importance to this marriage.

In the Ming Dynasty, Beijing was divided into the Miyagi City, the Imperial City and the Outer City. The Miyagi City was the residence of the emperor, the Imperial City was the residence of state institutions, a few senior officials and relatives, and a few high-end commercial organizations. The Outer City was the residence of ordinary officials and ordinary people.As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Hanwen is naturally in the imperial city, and the Anchangbo Mansion logically also has a place in the imperial city, but who put them in an embarrassing situation.Qian Xiong was very self-aware and moved to the outer city long ago. After he was brought up by his widowed mother, the Zhou family had already respected the Empress Dowager alone. The family is even more desperate.Today, when he succeeded to the throne, Qian Chengzong did not move back to the inner city after he was granted the title of Anchang Bo.No one in their family holds a real job, so it doesn't matter if they are in the inner city or not.

Anchangbo’s Mansion is on the west side of Xuanwu Gate. Thanks to the wise ancestors of the Qian family who built the house here, the housing prices in the outer city are almost half lower than those in the inner city. The Qian family’s mansion is nominally five-entry, but in fact it also includes a garden. And the Martial Arts Field, if it wasn't for the regulations, I don't know how big and beautiful the Qian family will build the house.

When Yan Lide arrived, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion was already waiting at the door. Their family has always been enthusiastic about the future son-in-law.The Qian family has been passed down through two generations. When the house was built so large, it was able to support people. If one day, the descendants of the Qian family can fill this big house, then the Qian family will really prosper.When he arrived at Uncle An Chang's place, Mrs. Qian gave birth to three sons and a daughter for the Qian family. She was a real hero. The third son was already married, and Yan Lide was now asking to marry the youngest daughter.

After all, the Qian family once had a queen, and she was a very famous queen. The ancestors left many family properties, and this mansion is one of them.But when they arrived at Qian Chengzong's place, most of the mansion had already been locked up. Back then, the Qian family couldn't even maintain the mansion.Before the title of title came down, Qian Chengzong just followed him and ran away, earning a lot of money before he came back, which was more than enough money to repair the house.After tasting the sweetness, Qian Chengzong started to walk in darts, and gradually established a dart bureau, which also opened inns and warehouses. Who knew that with a bang, a noble title fell from the sky. Find a backer for the family business.Originally, foreign relatives like them with vacant titles didn't have to learn so many taboos from civil servants, but there was still a Zhou family, and the Qian family didn't dare to think highly of Zhou's mind.

So rather than saying that Uncle An Chang is a wealthy earl, it is better to say that he is a man in the Jianghu. He earned his first pot of gold in the Jianghu, gained the ability to settle down, and he has a good impression of the Jianghu.He will not be like the ordinary imperial court official Xungui who regards the Jianghu people as "reckless". This is probably the reason why Yan Lide was able to get in touch with this family in the beginning.

"My nephew has met Shibo and auntie." Yan Lide entered the door only to find that An Changbo and his wife were already waiting in the main hall, which made Yan Lide, who is a junior, so embarrassed, he trotted two steps and saluted.

"It's over, don't mess around with those sour words, our family doesn't pay attention to these things, just sit down." Uncle An Chang didn't care, pointed to the seat and asked Yan Lide to sit down quickly.

"Look at you, be gentle, Shu Xing is a Jinshi master." Madam Qian smiled softly, and personally brought tea to Yan Lide from the maid's tray.

Yan Lide stood up and respectfully took it with both hands, saying repeatedly: "Offended, offended."

"Sit down, sit down, if you are a pedantic old man, I won't let you come. This time...um..." Even if he is a bold person, as a woman, An Changbo is embarrassed to directly mention marriage, it is too cheap.

"This time when I went back to Shanxi to visit relatives, I told my father about my favorite sister Yu. My father was very pleased. He took care of the house and went to the capital to arrange the marriage for me. Because of the emperor's life, I originally expected to return to Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Father and My appointment was also after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and both my father and son were there, so it was because of the importance I attached to Yumei. I didn’t realize that things had changed, and I came back early. I had already written to inform my father, but my father said that there were too many things. Where can I move, scold me and ask me to make amends to my uncle and aunt. My father wants to make perfect preparations for the marriage, so he has delayed the time. Please wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"There's no need to make amends. My in-laws value Ah Yu, and it's too late for us to be happy." Madam Qian said quickly.

"Thank you aunt for your generosity. My father asked me to bring some local products when I returned home this time. On the way, I went to Fujian Province and brought some local products for the two elders. A small gift is not a respect, please don't refuse." What Yan Tieshan asked to bring back to the capital was really a "specialty product". Zhuguangbaoqige's special jewelry, whether it is pearls, corals, gold, silver and beautiful jade, a complete set of jewelry is stuffed into the luggage for free. If it can't fit, I just packed two big boxes and left. The Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion business route was directly brought to the capital.

"My child, you're just being polite. We don't lack anything in the capital. I can see that you've lost weight and darkened a lot because of your hard work in the capital. You must have endured hardship." He eats and nourishes.

An Changbo hurriedly rescued him, and said: "Madam is more careful, you go to the kitchen to see if there are any good things, and bring them out to entertain Shu Xing."

"It's up to you to say, girl Yu has already left, so I'm not needed." Even so, Madam Qian left with a smile, leaving space for the two men to talk.

"Uncle, I don't know if the three uncles are here. Where's A Jian?" The two talked, and the opening remarks were mostly about another person they both knew well besides eating.

"I went to Zhuangzi outside the city. When Ah Jian heard that you were coming, he insisted on hunting wild game to entertain you. They went together with their father, son and brother. When they received the news of your return yesterday, they sent them a message. They should return today. I didn't expect you to come faster than them." An Changbo said with a smile, he had three sons and one daughter in his life, Qian Zelin, Qian Zehong, and Qian Zeda, the three sons grew up smoothly, married wives and had children, since he has memories Since then, the Qian family has never been so lively.

"Sister Yu didn't go together?" Yan Lide laughed. Qian Zeyu is the youngest daughter of Uncle An Chang. She is in the same rank as her elder brothers, but she is about the same age as her nephew Qian Jian. It is also a hobby to worship in Wuxiang Nunnery to practice martial arts. A girl of martial arts, otherwise she wouldn't have a pair of natural feet, and she wouldn't have met Yan Lide on the Northwest battlefield.

"Girls have a family, and naturally they have to embroider dowry at home when they are married. Her mother is very strict." An Changbo said that he disliked Qian Zeyu, but he loved her to the bone. Otherwise, how could his daughter be so "out of line?" ".Saying this in front of Yan Lide, doesn't it show that her daughter is educated and agrees with the mentality of a man!

Yan Lide heard it, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't hold back Miss Yu, I don't care about these things. Let the embroiderer embroider the wedding dress, and every bride embroiders the dowry by herself, and the embroiderers all over the street are still unemployed .”

"Don't say that, don't say that, it's better for the girl's film to make her mother grind her temper." It sounds nice, but Yan Lide is sure that An Changbo will be able to confidently stop his daughter-in-law from giving her daughter needlework tonight." torture". "How is your father in good health, and how is the business at home?" After talking for so long, Uncle An Chang remembered to greet his in-laws.

"Father is very good. He is a martial arts practitioner. My martial arts are all taught by my father. Now I can only rely on my youth to barely win. The family business was originally run by Huo Tianqing, the son of the head of the Heavenly Bird Sect. He was rescued by his father before, and he devoted himself to Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion for three years, just to repay his kindness."

"But Huo Tianqing, the son of the old man Tianqin? The uncle of the Seven Heroes of the Market?" So the two of them have something to talk about.

"Yes, it's him, thanks to him for the past three years."

"I heard that he has left the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, who is taking care of the pavilion now, is he still his father-in-law?"

"Sure enough, the news is still the fastest in Jianghu. Uncle is right. He has left. I have also invited Su Shaoying, one of the three heroes and four talents of the Emei School, to take care of him temporarily. Although Su Shaoying is from the Jianghu, he has already passed the examination. , is also a person who is knowledgeable on both sides of the rivers and lakes and the court, and I can rest assured that he can help me. The most important thing is that he and I are cousins. His original surname was Yan, but he later changed to his mother's surname." An Changbo's family also knew Yan Lide's background, If he wanted to marry the man, how could An Changbo's family hand over the jewel in their hands without inquiring clearly.

"That's good. I don't care about family background. Our Qian family has no family background. My aunt has suffered all her life. The Qian family failed to support her. Yatou Pianzi is the first daughter of three generations of our family. We can't let him go. It can be said that the Qian family and the Yan family are embarrassing people, and the two families who are not in a very good situation get married, and no one thinks that the other is a drag, and it saves the three aunts and six wives outside gossiping.

"Don't worry, Shibo, I will treat Yumei well." Yan Lide immediately got up and solemnly assured that the creature like father-in-law is the same at any time, and son-in-law is a big devil who snatches his daughter, and he must be beaten all the time.

"Sit, sit, what are you doing so seriously? I'm not unreasonable." An Changbo didn't feel any ambiguity in what he said just now. He wanted to continue interrogating the "prisoner", and his children and grandchildren came back.

"Eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle..."

"Don't, don't, don't, Amei hasn't married you yet, so don't change your mind so quickly." Qian Zeda jumped to retort. The first girl of the three generations of the Qian family was regarded as a treasure by everyone.

Qian Jian said unceremoniously, "Third Uncle, don't struggle to your death. See, brother Yan has a purse embroidered by my aunt hanging on her waist. My aunt embroidered a purse every three years. No one gave it to me. It's hanging here. Isn't it obvious? Besides, you have an opinion whether you can beat my aunt or brother Yan."

"I can beat you!" Qian Zeda had just gotten married, and was not much older than Qian Jian. The two uncles and nephews got along like brothers, laughing and laughing non-stop.

The boss, Qian Zelin, frowned and said, "What's your name? It's a mess of seniority."

"Father, I don't want to either. If Big Brother Yan accepts me as an apprentice, wouldn't my seniority be correct?" Qian Jian has been completely reduced to a fanatic since he saw Yan Lide's martial arts. This little spy is indispensable to make this marriage possible.

"Qian Jian, you are such a lump, why are you so stupid? You should have been called Qian Tutu in the first place!" Qian Zeda jumped up and gave him some chestnuts. It was sold, and it makes people angry to think about it.

As the eldest grandson, Qian Jian was very weak when he was born. The priest of Yunyou said that Qian's surname is special, even Jin Zhichun's surname, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes soil, and lack of gold complements wood. To bring soil and bless him to stand still, he took the word Jian.As a result, this guy really grew stronger and stronger, insisting on pushing his aunt out.

"A Jian, third uncle is right. When I get married to your aunt, your uncle will be a family member. Even if I don't want to be a teacher, I will teach you." Yan Lide said abductively.

"Really?" Qian Jian was very excited.

"I disagree!" Qian Zeda roared.

"I knew you were back, and I heard voices from far away, like thunder, and I can't talk properly if I have something to say." Mrs. Qian came in from the back hall, scolded her third son, and then scolded her father and elder brother for not knowing how to persuade her. Some, in her words, "just watch and add fuel to the fire".The second son, Qian Zehong, is completely lying on his back. He hasn't said a word since he entered the door, okay?

"Sure enough, the mother-in-law looks more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. Our mother is becoming more and more partial to this guy." Qian Zeda muttered softly.

Yan Lide has such martial arts skills, how could he not be able to hear him at such a short distance.Yan Lide was smiling, and said in his heart: Third Uncle, I will hone your martial arts for my father-in-law!

"Qian Qingtian" did not give any wronged prisoner a chance to appeal, and said: "I told you to go hunting for wild game. After so long, you have been raised now. No one told you not to come back. Hurry up and pack up and come out." It's time for lunch. The second child went to tell your wife that a nourishing decoction was made for her alone on the stove. Don't come out when she is pregnant. There will be opportunities to meet each other in the future. The third child, you should also give my wife some care. If you fight again, I will expose your skin. Ah Jian..."

"Grandma, I've been very good lately, and I haven't done anything." Qian Jian immediately stood at attention, almost swearing to God.

"You still don't have to say anything, what about your homework? Master Wu has asked for leave, so you don't need to practice more?" Madam Qian's voice immediately raised a tone.

"Okay, what are you talking about, isn't it about eating?" An Changbo hurried out to smooth things over.

"You old man interrupts me every now and then, so you know you're used to them. They say you are a strict father and a loving mother. When can you be tougher... Forget it, for the sake of Shuxing, I will clean up quickly and have dinner right away." !"

After listening to Tai Zuo's lecture, everyone lined up and walked out of the living room, so Qian Zeyu was in line with Yan Lide's aesthetics. With such a tough mother, it was only natural to raise a tough daughter.

The brothers needed to wash and change clothes, but he didn't need it. Yan Lide walked into the backyard familiarly, and saw Qian Zeyu waiting in the garden as usual.

Yan Lide stepped forward as usual and said, "Sister Yu."

"Ahem!" What was different from before was that Qian Zeyu had an old nanny beside him, and she was also an old nanny suffering from a cough.

"Master Yan, this is the backyard, you have gone the wrong way."

"Oh, that's right, my aunt sent a servant girl to lead me the way." Yan Lide asked perfunctorily, "Sister Yu, didn't you say you were in the kitchen? Why didn't you cook whole roasted lamb? The lamb I brought back from the northwest last time Is there any more? The mutton there is neither fishy nor smelly, and it is best eaten roasted..."

"Cough cough!" the old nanny coughed again.

Yan Lide is a person who has been trained in the "Etiquette Textbook for Aristocratic Family - "Dream of Red Mansions". If you don't understand what's going on, you'd be stupid. This old nanny must be the legendary nurturing nanny.

"Mommy is sick. If you are sick, you need to be treated in time. It's not good to infect the master's family. It just so happens that I have a doctor with me, so I can show you to mommy." Yan Lide looked at mommy a few times with a half-smile Eyes, interrupting him twice in a row, I really think he has a good temper.

"Mommy, you go back first, I'll bask in the sun again." Qian Zeyu said.

Seeing that their unmarried couples are in love with each other, the old mother glanced at the girls, motioning them to see something out of the ordinary, and reluctantly withdrew.

"Oh, I'm finally gone. I've been following me every day for half a month. My bones are sore." Qian Zeyu stretched his neck and shoulders, looking exhausted.

"If your bones are sore, get more exposure to the sun and replenish calcium!"

"You're talking weird again." Qian Zeyu laughed, she knew that Yan Lide was laughing at the excuse she just said.

"If you don't like to learn rules, then don't learn them, and I don't pay much attention to them." Yan Lide is the most unruly person in the world.

"It would be great if I told my mother about it. When I said it, my mother would shed tears, my mother! Shed tears! You said it was scary or not, and you were so scared that you didn't dare to say more. My father was even more terrified, deeply afraid My mother, the strong woman, will sell me to the old lady if she cries again." Qian Zeyu sighed, "Your family is a family of gold, jade and wealth. It was also a relative of the emperor before. It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the rules must be strict. Now I It's good to learn."

"Who told you, if there are any rules, how about going to the world? My family is indeed a relative of the emperor in the Jinpeng Dynasty, but it is not worth mentioning compared with Daming. My father and I are the only two people in my family. Father Don’t scare yourself. I only heard that marrying a daughter-in-law will be difficult for her father-in-law and brother-in-law, and you can do everything possible to get it. I never heard that girls worry about it.”

"Hahaha, you are the only one who can talk! Don't lie to me, the daughter's family is the most difficult thing. Don't be a woman in life, and let others have a hundred years of suffering and happiness. I heard that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult." Qian Zeyu laughed.

"My mother died shortly after I was born."

"Bah, look at my mouth, I don't listen to my brain, that's not what I mean."

"It's been so many years, and how much sadness has faded with time. I know you didn't mean it. It's the truth. There's nothing I can't mention." Yan Lide tapped the tip of her nose, and said: "Don't drag the text, this If people hear this kind of talk, they will think that I have abused you. It is even worse if the third uncle hears it, and now he is full of dissatisfaction, and when the time comes to get married, he must not snatch the marriage!"

"Is that what snatching is for? At most, the door will be blocked and you won't be allowed in." Qian Zeyu laughed loudly and served him with fists.

"Sister Yu, are you going to discuss kung fu with me? Please—" This is a world of martial arts. Qian Zeyu's master is Mrs. Kurong from Wuxiang Temple. Her martial arts skills can be ranked among the first-class masters. It is rare for her to improve her martial arts, which is very suitable for women study.

"Look at the trick!" Qian Zeyu didn't say much, and came as soon as he put on a posture, and tried not to speak as much as he could.

The two opened up in the garden, fighting with each other.Yan Lide's martial arts can be compared with Ximen Chuuxue's top masters, but of course it cannot be matched by Qian Zeyu.Yan Lide acted on the attitude of guidance, not hurting people but not making harsh moves, and instructed her to use more advanced sword moves and experience the artistic conception.

Qian Zeyu's current kung fu is second-rate, almost at the same level as Sanying and Sixiu.Master Kurong's martial arts is not as good as Dugu Yihe, that is to say, Master Kurong's ability to teach students is very good, and Qian Zeyu's spirituality in martial arts is not as good as Su Shaoying.

Mrs. Qian waited for a long time for her daughter and prospective son-in-law, so she came to look for her in person and saw them dancing vigorously in the garden.At the moment, he didn't care to make a good impression on his prospective son-in-law, and said: "I said eight hundred times to eat, eat! I urged you three times and invited you four times. Do you want to pick you up in a sedan chair? What kind of effort is there to eat right now, the intestines are knotted, and it hurts to eat Only when you die will you know the seriousness!"

Mrs. Qian is the top of the food chain in Uncle Anchang's mansion, and Yan Lide didn't dare to compete with her, so he obediently admitted his mistake and went to wash his hands and eat.In fact, he has not received this kind of "mother-like scolding" for many years, and Yan Lide still thinks it is kind. Has he evolved into trembling?

Anchangbo Mansion is so vibrant, relaxing and enjoyable.Yan Lide still has the position of the left servant of the household department. Although his immediate boss is a teacher, he can't blatantly skip work and go back to get some rest. He will formally go to the Yamen tomorrow, and Yan Lide will leave after lunch.

After the people left, Madam Qian took out the presents and had a look. The first box was a "meeting gift" and "specialty product" prepared by the in-laws-to-be. When she opened it, she was so blindingly golden.I saw that the first box was full of brocade boxes, all of which were embroidered with designs with gold threads, and the boxes alone were worth a lot.

"I finally know why there is a box to return the pearls." Madam Qian took out a box and said, such a high-grade box would not contain vulgar things.Sure enough, I opened the box again and saw that it was a set of ruby ​​jewelry, including hairpins, tinsel, hairpins, rings, step rockers, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

Madam Qian opened another box, and there was another set of sapphire emerald emerald tiaras.Qian Jian became interested, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, is this going to collect all the colors?" The family helped open the box, and there were all kinds of gemstones, jade ornaments, pearls, emeralds, coral and tortoiseshell.

Madam Qian took a deep breath and said, "Is this a local product?"

"The Yan family runs the Jewelery Pavilion, and for his family, these things are local specialties." An Changbo laughed.

"Mother, what are you worried about? Master Yan and Master Yan sent these precious things to my sister-in-law because of their fancy. We should be happy. When my sister-in-law leaves the cabinet, we will put these in the dowry, and we will return to Yan's house again." Is it? Is the dowry prepared by the second elder for my sister-in-law worse than these jewels?" The eldest grandma Liu urged.

"Sister-in-law is right. If he gave it away, we will accept it generously, and it won't hurt the Yan family. We will know in the future." The third grandma Xiao said.

"You bitch finally said it well." Qian Zeda, the third child, couldn't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth.

"As long as you can, you can also say something pleasant to your ears."

"Hey, you still kicked your nose on your face..."

"You two enemies, go to the side where you are bickering, and if you want to fight, go back to your own yard and fight!" Just now I told you to get along with each other in harmony, and promised well, but fell ill again in a blink of an eye.The third couple were both young and had no children. In other words, they were both children. Madam Qian didn't bother to care about all kinds of bickering and gestures.

After seeing the "local specialties" prepared by Yan Tieshan, it was Yan Lide's turn to prepare real local specialties. They were things he bought along the way. Of course, one box was specially for his fiancée, and the other box was for Qian's family. Signed clearly.For example, the consecrated Buddhist scriptures for Mrs. Qian, the rouge powder and cloth for the sister-in-law, the good tea for An Changbo, and the treasured sword for Qian Jian.

Yan Lide specially gave the third sister-in-law a soft whip, and it was very easy to please the sister-in-law at home.

Qian Zeda pulled the bow that was given to him, and muttered, "For he has a conscience."

After finishing the presents, everyone went back to their respective yards. Only then did Madam Qian pull Qian Zeyu and said, "Look, my uncle treats you well, you should cherish your blessings. His family is simple, and he is a gangster. would treat you too badly."

"Then my rules..." Qian Zeyu looked at her mother, and then at the foster mother standing aside.

"Master Yan really loves Miss. The old slave was worried that men would like people who follow the rules, but seeing that my uncle is very ordinary, there is no need to deliberately follow the rules."

"That's right, that's right." Qian Zeyu nodded sharply, and said, "Nurse also said to be gentle and courteous. I stretched and punched in front of him, and he didn't show any displeasure."

"Even so, the rules still need to be learned. Mr. Yan is a third grade at a young age, and he has a bright future in the future. There must be contacts between the female family members in the back house. If you don't learn today, it will definitely affect Mr. Yan's official career in the future." The nurturing mother said again The story of the wife in the inner house who can't manage affairs, offends her boss and subordinates, and hurts the man's future.

"What Mammy said is that you will be ordered to marry if you marry, and you must know more to suppress the situation. It's just that this rule is for people to show, and it's enough if you don't look like a big one. When it comes to the son-in-law, you can pick his wife There are not many people with problems." Madam Qian could bear her daughter to suffer.

Both the mother and the husband are willing, and the mother-in-law will not be such a villain, so she nods in agreement, learns the general idea, and fools outsiders.

On the other hand, Qian Zeyu insisted on learning thoroughly after hearing that his wife's bad housekeeping would harm her husband's career.Love, there is such a magic power to transform you into a completely different person.With a lover as your goal, you can be determined beyond imagination.

Yan Lide informs Yan Tieshan to go to Beijing to propose marriage. Although Yan Tieshan always urges him to get married, he has no preparations for the marriage proposal. Yan Lide was angry at Yan Tieshan for leading the wolf into the house at first, and deliberately did not talk about the marriage.The landmine was released when it was almost time to leave. Yan Tieshan couldn't believe it when it exploded, and was sure again and again that he wasn't lying to him.This ignorance has passed the time, and I can only go to Beijing to propose marriage after the Mid-Autumn Festival as originally planned.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed and their marriage could not be handled.

The reason why the emperor called the prince back to Beijing was because he was in poor health, but the emperor's health has not been better these years.There are countless treasures in the palace, and everyone is ready to be the emperor for another ten years.After the crown prince returned to Beijing, although the emperor gradually handed over government affairs, he had already begun to organize and draft a reform plan for the Ministry of War. over.The emperor's attitude confused many people, and everyone thought it was "wolf is coming."

Unfortunately, this time the wolf really came.

The palace was full of sorrow and solemnity. The emperor fainted while discussing the government affairs with the cabinet ministers.

The queen sat beside the bed, and the prince also took care of him in front of the bed, and finally woke up the unconscious emperor.When the emperor woke up, his face was ruddy and he was in good spirits, but the empress and prince dared not show a smile.

The emperor recruited Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, several cabinet elders, and recruited six ministers, imperial clans, and noble ministers who were not in the cabinet.Even old ministers like Wang Shu, Liu Daxia, and Ma Wensheng, who had been honored for a long time, were called into the palace, and the implication was self-evident.

The emperor took the hand of Wang Shu, the head of the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi", and entrusted him to teach the prince to speak and act bravely.He took the hand of Liu Jian, the head of the cabinet, and said: "The prince is smart and young, and he likes to enjoy himself. All the ministers assist him. The prince is responsible for the country, and I will rest in peace."

Liu Jian and other veterans kowtowed repeatedly, and they answered yes repeatedly.

The emperor stroked the empress and the prince again, and said: "After I go, I will be filial to your mother, bear the burden of the ancestors, and work hard." The emperor wanted to wipe his wife Empress Zhang's tears, but found that he was powerless and couldn't lift his hands.Empress Zhang burst into tears, and raised his hand to his cheeks, tears quickly wet the back of his hand.

"Zhen..." Before finishing the heavy words, the emperor closed his eyes slightly, and his chest heaved gradually.

"Imperial doctor! Imperial doctor!" The imperial doctor knelt by the corner of the bed, got up tremblingly and examined the emperor's lips, neck, and heart, fell to his knees with a plop, and cried, "Your Majesty is dying! "

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

The Qianqing Palace suddenly wailed, and the courtiers, palace servants, servants, and guards kneeling outside the palace all knelt and wailed, mourning the death of a generation of sages.

Why Yan Lide knew so clearly, he thought he was kneeling behind Han Wen, crying together.Yan Lide is very good at history, but he can't remember the specific time when an emperor's mountain tomb collapsed. He can only estimate according to the situation, and this time he made a wrong estimate.

After the cries came to an end, everyone reluctantly vented their grief. The cabinet guard Liu Jian kowtowed and said, "His Royal Highness, please take the throne, so that His Majesty's spirit will be safe."

"His Royal Highness, please succeed the crown prince, so as to comfort His Majesty's spirit." All the officials also bowed their heads and shouted in unison.After doing this three times, Zhu Houzhao nodded.

Liu Jian took out the imperial decree from the jade box in the hand of the eunuch He Ding, and read it aloud. The imperial decree was very simple: Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne before his death, and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian assisted in the administration, with Liu Jian as the head.Liu Jian entrusted the imperial decree to Zhu Houzhao, knelt down with his body, led all the officials, and shouted long live three times, the status of the monarch and his ministers has been determined.The position of Emperor Zhu Houzhao has been settled, and he must wait until the emperor's funeral is over before preparing for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.At this time, Zhu Houzhao could not be called the prince, nor could he be called the emperor. Officially, he could only become the heir emperor. Everyone called him "Your Majesty" on weekdays, but it didn't matter.

Zhu Houzhao asked all the ministers and workers to get up.

"I invite King Xingxian and King Rongzhuang to return to Beijing for the funeral." Liu Jian bowed.The emperor has only one son, and there is no Jinzhi vassal who needs to deliberately point out to go back to Beijing for the funeral. On the contrary, his father, Ming Xianzong, only dotes on Concubine Wan Gui, but it did not delay him giving birth to fourteen sons, six princesses, and the son died. It's almost the same time, only King Xingxian and King Rongzhuang have survived to the present.The emperor's elder brother died, and their ministers and younger brothers would naturally come to the funeral.

"allow."

"I ask Jinyiwei, Jinwuwei, and Habayashiwei to maintain order in the capital, and to order the saints in the world to return to heaven and the crown prince to ascend the throne. The Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple organize the funeral of the late emperor. In addition, tell the nine sides not to open the frontiers, and tell the vassals, Entering Beijing to pay homage to the filial piety. The new king ascends the throne and amnesty the world."

"allow."

"Please book the crown princess as the empress, and take the position of a woman in the grave to rule over the internal and external wives." Zhu Houzhao was only fifteen years old, and the emperor knew that he was not healthy, so he rushed to marry him, and Xia Shi was already appointed as the crown princess.

"Please discuss the posthumous name and temple name of the late emperor, and honor the empress."

"allow."

……

There are also the arrangements of the royal family members, relatives and noble ministers, corresponding promotions and titles, all kinds of things, after dealing with these, Zhu Houzhao can finally cry with peace of mind.

For Baiguan, perhaps the crying just now was the most painful and the most sincere, and the rest was just a ceremony.But all the ministers were still crying heartbroken, especially the old ministers represented by the three gentlemen of Hongzhi, Wang Shu, Liu Daxia, and Ma Wensheng, even fainted from crying.What a good emperor the emperor is. He swept away the slump of the court during the Xianzong period, appointed talented people, and reformed the government. When the emperor fell, he was still talking to the elders about the reform of the Ministry of War. It came from Liu Daxia.Liu Daxia also knew, so he passed out from crying.If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, how could these true gentlemen with integrity and a bottom line in their hearts stand out in the decadent court during the Chenghua period.

What a good emperor, but why is he so short-lived!All the ministers are crying in their hearts, the emperor is kind, and he is tolerant of all officials, relatives, and clan. Such an emperor is hard to find!Now that he passed away in his prime, everyone cursed Concubine Wan Gui in their hearts. If it wasn't for her, the emperor's body wouldn't be so bad!The demon concubine misled the country!

On June 18, 36th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youtang died in Qianqing Palace at the age of [-], and was buried in Tailing Mausoleum with the temple name Xiaozong.Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was generous and benevolent, practiced frugality, was not sensual, was diligent in political affairs, attached importance to the judiciary, opened his mouth, worked hard to reverse the political situation of the government, expelled traitors, diligent in political affairs, worked hard to govern, appointed Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other upright ministers, It is known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history.Historians commented, "Those below three generations who are called sages are Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty."

Every time the emperor collapses and passes away, it is a major event for the country, so the death of the emperor is called the collapse of the mountain, which is earth-shattering, nothing more than that.

Funerals are complicated and cumbersome, especially the funeral of a monarch.

Crying spirit is a complicated project. Before Xiaozong's coffin was buried in Tailing, a new round of fighting started again.

There was mourning in the palace, and the eunuch was in charge of liaising with the inner court and the outer court. The current supervisor of ceremonies was He Ding, who was also an old man who followed Xiaozong, but the new king was about to succeed to the throne. As the head of the eunuchs next to the new king, Liu Jin's status had risen.He Ding is not a person who argues with reason or is weak and incompetent, he is just a qualified eunuch, his master went away, Liu Jin came to ask for power, after he consulted the queen mother and the emperor, he handed over the power neatly, and asked himself to guard Xiaozong's mausoleum.

When Liu Jin was by the prince's side, he was humble, courteous, quick-witted, and able to follow the orders of the emperor and empress to dissuade the prince.After becoming the emperor's eunuch guarding the mausoleum, such a person seems to be a different person. He is arrogant, arrogant and domineering. It is still the period when Emperor Xiaozong is crying, and the courtiers are not angry, but they don't want to disturb the heroic spirit of the first emperor, so they have to bear it, but , can't bear it for long.

The struggle for power cannot last long.
