The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

In the spring of the eighth year of Hongqing, the emperor suddenly announced that he would personally educate the sixth prince, Jing Ke, and reopen the Antai Hall, which had been closed for many years, as the residence of the sixth prince.

However, as the first and last master of Antai Hall, the days Jing Ke lived in Antai Hall are actually very few in his life.Because he only lived there for one night at that time, he was taken to the Xishan Palace by the emperor the next day, and he began his life of being raised outside the palace.

The future heir to the throne can be said to be the one who has received the least orthodox education among the five sons of the emperor, but on the other hand, he is the prince who has received the most education from famous scholars.Wu has Wei Yan, Wen has Qi Yuanheng, and the emperor has set an example for him in terms of how to behave in the world, and Xiao Zhenting reminds him from time to time by his side. Later, when he went to the army, he even practiced under the command of General Chen Tianyao. The praise of Tao Wulue can be placed on him.

The only pity is that his biological mother was humble, and also involved the dark side of the emperor's heart, so that he had been treated very unfairly for the first half of his life.

Everyone in the world said that he was the emperor's favorite prince, but only those who were in the game could experience how it felt.When he was young, he might not feel anything, but as he got older, the resentment in his heart would be revealed no matter how hard he tried to suppress it.

Fortunately, he was still young at that time, so during those days when he lived in the Xishan Palace, he lived very leisurely, with a taste of "the years in the mountains are quiet and beautiful".

Jing Ke started every day with the morning class with the commander in the light mist of spring.

As early as the first month, Jing Li summoned Wei Yan back from the Hexi Mansion, made a name for him, appointed him as the general on duty of the Xishan Palace, and let him live in the palace.

Although it is a recovery, but Wei Yan's life is similar to when he was keeping his filial piety in the ancestral house in Hexi. He is still in the security room and only goes out occasionally. The only difference is that he has changed his place of residence.

When Jing Li has a court meeting, he will go back to the city to attend the court meeting. As for calling important officials to discuss matters, he often puts them in the Xishan Palace, so the time he spends with Wei Yan has greatly increased than before, and he quickly put this little day together. Have a good time.Later, he was afraid that Wei Yan would be bored when he was not around, so he simply threw Jing Ke here and let him take care of him.

The young Jing Ke had no objection to such an arrangement, and could only be happy. He could live with the commander in chief, and he could let the commander instruct him on martial arts, and he didn't have to be restricted by various palace rules. Such a happy day, What else could he complain about?

Every day after morning class, one big and one small two people soaked in the hot spring for a while, and then had breakfast, when Jing Ke and Xiao Zhenting were studying together, the Commander would accompany them.

In the afternoon, the Commander-in-Chief will take a nap, while Jing Ke and Xiao Zhenting will go to Tanjia Village to listen to Qi Yuanheng Qi Dalai Layman's lectures. If you encounter something you don't understand in your studies, you can also ask him for advice. When they return to the palace in the evening, he will His father came back long ago.

Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, the emperor would check his homework, but most of the time, the emperor thought he was an eyesore and sent him away, letting him play by himself.

His father asked him to play, but Jing Ke would not really play, but continued to study with Xiao Zhenting, living a very regular and leisurely life every day.

Just like that, his leisurely life passed by day by day.

When Jing Ke was living leisurely, there were many people in Beijing, but they couldn't even sleep.

The emperor raised him himself, and even brought him out of the palace, and raised him by his side to teach him carefully. No prince has ever been lucky enough to receive this kind of grace.Even for those who don't take Jing Ke seriously any more, when they see the emperor doting on him so much, they will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts.

When some people have a lot of worries, some people are not worried at all. For example, the empress dowager who eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha all the year round, sits in the harem, unmoved.

When she heard about this, she acted as if nothing had happened, as if what the emperor had done was just an insignificant matter, which made some people who were expecting the Queen Mother and her elders to act anxiously.

The Empress Dowager and her elders have profound skills and are calm and calm, so they don't take such small things to heart. Some people don't have this skill, but they don't want to stand out and incur the emperor's dislike, so they put this effort on the little one.

There are too many people who talk about it, even if there is nothing to do, it will cause some troubles, not to mention such a big incident, because of the lesson of the last time, the second prince Jing Qi, who has restrained his temper a lot, reluctantly endured it for a while, but still couldn't sit still. Living.

He also didn't dare to look uncomfortable in front of the emperor, so he could only hang around in front of the queen mother.However, he tried to find out a few times, but he couldn't find out anything, so it goes without saying that he felt uncomfortable.

"How old are you, why are you still so impatient?" The queen mother looked down upon him anxiously, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but she brought up the child single-handedly. She poured countless efforts into it, even if she was disappointed, she still couldn't let it go, seeing him fidgeting and hesitating to speak, finally spoke.

"Grandmother, the Sixth Brother...Father..." Jing Qi stammered, half-spoken, and then half-spoken.

"Why, if your father loves your sixth brother a little bit, you will feel uncomfortable. As a brother, you have to be patient. Don't have such shallow eye sockets." He was very determined, and taught Jing Qi a lesson after another.

"Grandmother, I'm not jealous that the sixth brother is favored, it's just that if this goes on, I'm really worried..." Jing Qi didn't go on talking about what she was worried about.

Logically speaking, he is the No.1 choice for the crown prince, but as long as his father has not appointed him as the crown prince, any accidents may happen. Even if he is appointed as the crown prince, it does not mean that everything is safe and the world is peaceful. As long as he hasn't sat in that chair, there will never be a time when he can feel at ease.

Even he is very clear about this.

"Qi'er, the imperial grandmother knows that it is not easy for you in this position. But you have to understand that things in this world are as much as you do, and you can do better if you don't do anything. As long as you don't do anything, the things you worry about It won't happen." The Empress Dowager once again warned him seriously not to do stupid things, "Your father is the father of your sixth brother, and he is also your father. You'd better keep this in mind at all times. Keep it in mind. As the eldest son, you don't need to be so outstanding or appreciated by your father, as long as you can be filial to your parents and love your brothers, that's enough."

In Jing Qi's position, it's no longer a matter of doing well or not, but a matter of absolutely not being able to make mistakes.No matter how well he does, he deserves it, but once he makes a mistake, it is usually beyond redemption.

It may sound cruel, but every eldest son of the Tian family, and even every prince, lived their lives in this way. As long as they get through it, they will naturally be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, and those who can't make it through will definitely die no deposit.

Jing Qi listened silently to the Queen Mother's teachings, as for how much he listened to, others don't know, they can only wait and see.

In the tenth year of Hongqing, Fan Abao went out to the grassland again.Compared with three years ago, there have been great changes on the grassland.With the help of Fan's Firm these years, the tribe of the third prince of Beidi, Zamur, has become the largest tribe on the entire grassland. getting more serious.

"King Khan has been in poor health recently. King Xuanben has an audience with King Xuanben at the king's tent. Mr. Fan thinks this king should go or not?" In the past three years, Fan Abao gave Zamul countless effective suggestions, which made Zamul feel good about him. His impression changed greatly.

This time when Fan Abao came over, Zamul prepared a feast to welcome him.When the banquet was over, he dismissed everyone and asked Fan Abao humbly.

"In this situation, I have a popular saying that can be used to describe it, which is called Hongmen Banquet."

"Appreciate further details."

Fan Abao recounted this allusion, and finally concluded: "This is an audience trip with hidden murderous intentions, His Royal Highness should be careful."

"If the king refuses to go, I'm afraid the king's tent will not stop. Besides, King Khan is the father of the king. Once the king makes such an excuse, it will be very bad for the future." Zamur sighed slightly.

He also knows the danger of this interview, but if he doesn't go, there will definitely be other voices in the clan, and he will be very passive at that time, which is not the best policy.

"His Royal Highness's iron guards have been trained for three years, and it's time to contribute." Fan Abao reminded him softly.

For generations, Beidi served as soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime, but after Zamur listened to his suggestion, he specially trained a team of iron guards, and now it's time to test the results.

"Mr. Fan, the rear is unstable, and the king's iron guards cannot move."

Zamur's so-called instability in the rear refers to the southern officers and soldiers watching eagerly on the border.Now, he is sandwiched between Nanren and Wangzhang, no matter whether he is going north or south, he has to worry about the instability of the rear, and he is really unable to advance or retreat.

"This is not a problem. As long as His Royal Highness and our dynasty become friendly nations and have friendship from generation to generation, wouldn't all problems be solved."

Fan Abao's ideas came one after another, only to hear Zamul blinking his eyes and thinking.In the end, he had to admit that Van Abau's idea was brilliant.First solve the rear problem, and then solve the front problem. In the future, he will have the power to rectify the army and horses, and the rear will change to the front. It will only be a blink of an eye.

The only worry is, will the southerners be cheating?

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I am a country of etiquette, and I value justice and trustworthiness the most. Once a covenant is made, it will be friendship from generation to generation. How can it be ridiculed?" Regarding the question he raised, Fan Abao sneered, as if pricking his nose. Thinking about it this way, Muer is an insult to them.

Based on Zamul's understanding of the southerners, Fan Abao's words were very reasonable. He thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

At the end of the same year, Zamur, the third prince of Beidi, sent envoys secretly to Longyuan Fortress on the border of the Southern Dynasties. After several contacts, he finally signed an alliance with the envoys of the Southern Dynasties.

The news of the peaceful settlement of the border troubles spread to Beijing, and all the officials in the court were jubilant, and there were voices of praise everywhere, praising the emperor's sageness.

Things have developed so rapidly that even His Majesty the Emperor, who is in control of everything, can only respond with a wry smile.

The hustle and bustle of the court was a little far away from Wei Yan, no matter how wise the emperor was, it would not have much impact on his life, and his days were still simply repeating.

At the beginning of the year, after observing the three-year filial piety period for his parents, he returned to his official position. However, the emperor seemed to like the life in the palace, and even moved here to handle many official affairs, so they basically took the palace as their home. up.

On this day, he received a letter from his elder brother Wei Ze from a trustee in Yunzhou, and he laughed out loud after reading it.

"Commander, did you write something funny in the letter?" Seeing the commander's expression of joy, Jing Ke's curiosity was aroused in Jing Ke who was sitting aside and studying.

"It's not a funny thing, it's a happy event. Brother Chen has recently added a new son, and I have another little niece." Obviously, for Wei Yan and other Wei family members who have just experienced the pain of losing their father and mother, this new The birth of life is undoubtedly a great joy.

Moreover, Wei Yan's eldest brother is also an elderly person. This is a real old daughter. The eldest sister-in-law is a step-wife, and she is slightly younger than his elder brother, but she is also very old now. This niece must come It's not easy, I'm afraid it will become a treasure like pearls and jade in the future.

A gift for birth, a gift for a full moon, and another gift for a hundred days. As an uncle, he must not be stingy. Happy.

Wei Yan took out a piece of paper, wrote and drew on it, thinking about what to give as a gift.

Longevity lock, rich and noble lock is the proper meaning, auspicious and wishful silver locks and gold locks of various colors should be prepared more, and there are other odds and ends. Whatever Wei Yan thinks of, he writes it down and prepares to go back home Go discuss it with the butler again.

For this kind of thing, Minwen is still by his side, and he doesn't have to worry about everything.Wei Yan suddenly thought of his son who was far away in the frontier, and his expression darkened.

"What is the commander writing?" Seeing what Wei Yan wrote on the paper, Jing Ke leaned his head forward and looked at the paper.

"This is a congratulatory gift for my little niece." Wei Yan turned sideways to let him see clearly.

"Congratulations..." Jing Ke thought for a while, then said suddenly, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back."

He is a little older, and finally he no longer calls himself "Ke'er", which is a gratifying thing.

After he finished speaking, he just ran out.

"Commander, this is my little sister's birth gift." After a while, Jing Ke ran in again and showed Wei Yan a box.

Wei Yan took the box, opened it, and saw that inside was a piece of high-quality mutton fat jade, about the length of three adult's knuckles, oval in shape, moist and delicate in texture, white in color like cut fat, carved into a beautiful face Window diagram, the view is lifelike.

"Your Highness, this piece of jade is too precious. It must be a gift from the emperor. I dare not accept it." Wei Yan took a few glances, then shook his head, closed the box, and returned it to him.

"Commander, this jade was not given by my father. I bought it by myself outside. I just carried it by myself, and I was afraid that it would break apart if I moved it a few times. It would be a waste to leave it alone. This pattern is just right for my little sister." Jing Ke refused to take the box, and the two pushed back for a long time, until the emperor came back, they still couldn't decide the winner.

"Take it, it's just a piece of jade, and it's not a good thing." Jing Li entered the hall, glanced into the box, didn't take it seriously at all, and directly stood by his son's side to help.

In desperation, Wei Yan could only accept this precious gift on behalf of his elder brother.Of course, at that time, he never thought that this piece of jade would also occupy a place in this story in the future.
