anted to thank the fourth member of his family. If the fourth had not insisted on bringing his mother to Beijing, his unfilial son would not even see his mother for the last time.I can't even think ab...the first day of June in the first year of Yuanyou, the first anniversary of the death of the former emperor.
because Tianshou Hill, where the imperial mausoleum is located, is more than 90 miles away from the capital, on May 28, Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou led ministers of civil and military affairs in the capital and a group of royal relatives to go to the imperial mausoleum to prepare for the memorial ceremony.
on the morning of the first day of June, the memorial ceremony officially began.
the two eldest princesses, Huayang and Nankang, stood behind the Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou.
if it is in the capital, Huayang will no longer cry when he thinks of his father. Standing in front of his father's mausoleum, without deliberation, the tears will flow down naturally.
but after all, a year has passed, and the sad mood of Huayang is more like a gurgling calm stream, only wiping tears with a veil and not crying a sound.
the same was true of Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou. On the contrary, it was Nankang who cried the most, lay down on the ground, cried out of breath, and was finally helped away.
watching the back of her being helped away by the maid of the palace, Emperor Yuanyou looked at her sister with mixed feelings.
Huayang handed his brother a helpless look.
although Nankang's crying shows that her filial piety with her brother is not deep enough, Huayang can deliberately lie down on the ground and wail in order to compete with Nankang, but she really can't do it.
Emperor Yuanyou thought the same way. Even he almost choked up just now, but he was startled by the news of Nankang.
Today is a special day. Huayang lives in the palace at night.
the two brothers accompanied the Empress Dowager Qi for dinner. After dinner, Emperor Yuanyou said that he would send his sister back to Qifeng Hall.
when we really arrived at Qifeng Hall, the two brothers sat on the couch and talked affectionately.
there are ice tripods in the room, which are cool and cool. The first thing Emperor Yuanyou complained to his sister was Nankang's crying method: "I think she did it on purpose, deliberately embarrassing us both!"
Emperor Yuanyou, who has succeeded to the throne for a year, has become accustomed to using my own name, that is, in front of his own sister, he changed his old name back to his old name.
Huayang said with a smile, "I think she is really crying. Think, ah, since the rebellion of King Yu, her mother has lost the title of imperial concubine. Although she has sealed the eldest princess, her status in the capital is far from what it used to be. I wish she didn't even go out the door. Compared with her father when he was alive, can she not be aggrieved"
Emperor Yuanyou had no sympathy for Nankang: "the fact that King Yu became like that was not connived by the imperial concubine. Nankang and King Yu Tuosheng were born in the same mother's belly, and she was only blamed for her bad luck."
Huayang thought that both the father and the concubine Lin Guifei were responsible for the failure of the godfather and the incompetence of the king of Henan.
but the father is the emperor, and no one in the palace dares to accuse the father of his laziness. At this time, what the prince and daughter will become, we can only count on the concubine.
obviously, her mother is not only much smarter than Princess Lin, but also more attentive to raising her children than Princess Lin.
of course, there is no need for Huayang to talk to his brother in such detail.
"how have you been these six months" Huayang picked up a lychee and chatted with her brother while shelling. "my sister has been in mourning in the house for half a year. I have nothing to miss about others, so I just miss you."
at the mention of this, Emperor Yuanyou seemed to have taken away his whole spirit and leaned lazily against the windowsill next to him. His eyes were unconsciously attracted by his sister's delicate hand of peeling litchi shells, and he said, "I am so tired that I have to get up and read before dawn every day. After breakfast, I go to the court to sit for more than half an hour. Then I listen to the cabinet elders' discussion, and then I go to read books for another half an hour. I have an hour's rest at noon, get up and continue to study and practice martial arts, and have dinner with my mother in the evening. You know, in the past, my mother only checked my homework, but now she has to take a discount for me to analyze. "
Emperor Yuanyou didn't even lean on the windowsill and lay flat on the couch, looking up at Yiran's sister who ate lychees: "Sister, I'm so tired!"
(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});
if Chen Jingzong were like this, Huayang would certainly not be distressed, but his younger brother is only 14 years old, and he is also a bit thin, and Junxiu's face is still somewhat childish. He is just trying to be brave. Now he shows a tired side. Huayang as a sister, how can there be no pity at all
she asked, "is there a court meeting every day now"
Emperor Yuanyou snorted and nodded.
at that time, there was only a court meeting held on the first or fifteenth day of junior high school every month. Chen GE had nothing to say to his mother. When it was his turn, Chen GE and his mother bullied him when he was young and asked him to go to court every day.
Huayang looked at his brother's light blue and black right now and smiled and came up with an idea: "it's really hard to go to court every day, and ministers don't have something to play every day. You might as well try pretending to be ill later, talk to the old cabinet, coax the cabinet to agree to reduce the number of court meetings, and then let the cabinet old man persuade his mother, and this will be done."
Emperor Yuanyou: "they are always of the same mind. Can the Pavilion always be partial to me"
Huayang: "didn't you tell me that the old man in the cabinet is much more lenient to you now"
Emperor Yuanyou: "he will definitely not listen to me for such a big thing as being lenient in trifles and reducing the number of Korean meetings."
Huayang: "how can you know if you don't try The old cabinet and queen mother are strict with you in the hope that you can grow into a wise king, but they will also put your body first. As long as you talk about your hard work, they are reluctant to pull up seedlings and encourage you. "
in the previous life, both the mother and the father-in-law were strict tempers. The younger brother was severely disciplined by the two from an early age, but he dared not speak out even if he had any troubles and grievances in his heart. It was not until this autumn that he really fell ill, and the father-in-law took the lead in compromising and only held an imperial meeting on March, June and Ninth every month.
because of this, Huayang dared to help his younger brother pretend to be ill, and his younger brother would probably be moved by his father's compromise.
Emperor Yuanyou blinked and said, "all right, I'll try it later."
Huayang asked him to sit up, stuffed freshly shelled lychee meat into his brother's mouth, and whispered, "Don't reveal the stuffing, and don't tell me if the stuffing is exposed, or my sister will never come to the palace to see you again."
Emperor Yuanyou hurriedly promised that he would not.
he also peeled off the litchi himself and continued to chat with his sister: "the reform of the old government has offended many ministers. No matter Beijing officials or local officials, I refuted him and punished a lot of people."
there are still lychees in Huayang's mouth. After eating, he asked thoughtfully, "Why are all those ministers in the cabinet" If what they say is reasonable, you can't blindly favor the elder cabinet, and you have to bring up what should be corrected. After all, he is now the first assistant in the cabinet, and only you can warn him from time to time. "
Emperor Yuanyou was surprised: "my sister actually thinks that GE Lao can also make mistakes"
Huayang laughs: "No one is perfect, and of course the elder cabinet is no exception. He wants to be a teacher in front of you. You may not know that. I have been a daughter-in-law in the Chen family for several years, and I often hear the old lady and the old lady complain about him."
Emperor Yuanyou came to be interested: "what are they complaining about about the Pavilion"
Huayang: "the most common complaint is strictness, which you should also know very well, the three brothers, because when they first moved to the capital, the above two brothers were already very sensible. Only Sima was only three years old, and the cabinet paid more attention to the horse. More thought is equivalent to more harshness. As a result, he directly ran away his temper. Now he would rather live with me in the patriarch's mansion than go home."
Emperor Yuanyou: "so you will all live in the Princess Palace"
Huayang: "Yes, I also prefer the Princess Palace, which is big and magnificent. The small garden of the Chen family can't compare with it."ave no feelings for Qi. I can understand that Chen Jizong is your cousin after all. Now he may be sentenced to death. You …"Chen Jingzong looked over and said, "he wants to die. What do I sympathize w...
