After taking off the clothes of winter, spring quietly reveals its grace.
The messenger and personal messenger followed Chun's footsteps and arrived in the northwest.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites came to announce the decree. Duke Beiyi became the king of Bei'an, the prince became the prince's prince, and the prince's grandson also became the prince's grandson.
Just this canonization can ensure that he will be king for three generations.
In addition, Lin Keyong was also canonized as the county king.
As soon as such a decree came, Lin Chongwei pressed his forehead to the ground and could not get up for a long time.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites went to help, but Lin Keqin stopped him and stopped others from disturbing him. For his father, the great trust was finally completed. He finally had an explanation for the deceased, and for those who died in the northwest and those who were alive.
Everyone has an explanation.
After a long time, Lin Keqin went to help his father, "Dad, the winter snow has blocked the roads, and the news has been delayed a bit. Now I am afraid that the strategy for the southwest has been decided. You'd better listen to what arrangements are being made for my uncle.
.”
Only then did Lin Chongwei stand up! The northwest wind was strong, and the tears on his face were dried by the wind, leaving only traces all over his face, making him look a little embarrassed.
The palace enthroned King Yong as the crown prince, which Lin Chongwei and his son never expected.
Link Yong said everything he needed to say in the letter, and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette elaborated here, which means that the matter is settled.
And the only princess in the family is ready to take the throne in the East Palace.
Neither father nor son was surprised by what the prince did.
It's just that in this way, the Lin family will inevitably be suspected of being relatives.
But... looking back, the relationship between the Lin family and the royal family clearly points to the fact that the Lin family is the clan. So no matter what happens to the royal family, can the Lin family stay out of it?
Come to think of it, that's fine.
Lin Chongwei sighed, "Pack your things and go back to Beijing."
The official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the palace has just started construction!" The Holy Emperor did not say when he would return to the capital, so he probably meant that he was not in a hurry.
Lin Chongwei smiled, "What are you afraid of if you don't have a palace? I will leave the prince to deal with the affairs in the northwest. I will take my grandson back to the capital. I don't want a palace. One of the rooms in the imperial mausoleum is enough. I will accompany you."
Brother, live here."
"this……"
Lin Chongwei waved his hand, "Go and rest, I will return to Beijing soon."
"Just go back to Beijing like this?" In the southwest, in the royal palace, Han Zongmin whispered: "Nothing has been dealt with, and the imperial decree has not mentioned a word..."
Han Maojie glanced at his son and said, "Since you want to go back, then just ask for it. People in the world always look down on themselves! There is nothing in this world that cannot be achieved without someone."
Han Zongmin was silent for a long time, "But you have to make the transition to the officials of the imperial court! If my father wants to return to Beijing, I will not stop him. You can take Pearl and Cheng Song back to Beijing. Cheng Song is a grandson, so it is proper for him to go back first.
"Zhenzhu is attentive. It's a long way to go. She takes care of you and your mother's daily life, so you can rest assured."
That's fine! Han Maojie waved his hand and asked his son to make arrangements. He stood in the pavilion and looked toward the northeast: He could still return to the capital in his lifetime, and he could still see the southwest being safely handed over to the hands of the imperial court. He would have no regrets in this life.
Back to Beijing?
Tongtong was in the palace when she heard the news.
Now the royal family has several happy events to attend to, first the eldest prince's wedding, and then the third princess's wedding, these are all matters that need to be done urgently.
Since being enthroned in the East Palace, Tongtong has never had a private conversation with her eldest brother.
Yes! What are we talking about? How to talk about this kind of thing?
Now, the eldest prince has been canonized as Prince Zhao, and a wedding date has been set. How could he not come?
Someone saw it from a distance and rushed to report it.
Eunuch Qiu reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."
The eldest prince glanced at Eunuch Qiu, "Why are you so careful? That is your adopted sister. I have never seen you being cautious in the past, so what are you doing now? The position of prince was given to Shiro by his father, and it is not Shiro's fault. Shiro and his adopted sister We are in love and we are husband and wife. If I feel dissatisfied with my adopted sister because of this, then who have I become? Is that what a brother should do? I have never seen my adopted sister. It is not that my adopted sister has done something wrong. But I really don’t know what to say in this situation, and I think the same is true for my adopted sister. But now that she is here, is it possible for me, the elder brother, to feel like I am facing a formidable enemy?" After saying that, he ordered: "Go and pick up the princess. Come to the study, and it will be the same as it was before."
yes!
So Tongtong saw the smiling Eunuch Qiu, no different from before, "Princess, the prince asked his servant to take you in."
Tongtong smiled and went to the study. Looking at the eldest prince who was sitting there looking over with a smile, his nose became sour and he called out: "Brother!"
The eldest prince waved, "Come!"
Tongtong sat down next to him, "Eldest brother is about to get married. I came to see if the arrangements have been made."
The eldest prince poured the tea with his own hands and handed it over, "Don't be so cautious. I know that neither Shiro nor you have done anything wrong. But on the other hand, it is a bit difficult for me to treat it calmly."
I'm so honest and revealing my heart to you! What can Tongtong say? She looked at the eldest prince honestly, "Any idea eldest brother has is reasonable, and any approach is understandable. No matter what eldest brother decides, I agree with it." . It is inhumane for you and the other highnesses to accept it willingly. But no matter in the end, Shiro's reserve position cannot be shaken, or who takes away the reserve position, from my point of view, this is a blessing for Da Chen .The prince who has been tempered will become a powerful ruler."
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment: "Is this what you think?"
"Yes! That's what Gu thinks." The fourth master looked at the second prince, "If you have the ability, come and get it! Whoever wins gets it, Gu will wait."
"What if you lose?"
The Fourth Master looked at the Second Prince and said, "In the Northeast, on the grassland beyond the Great Wall, I will take Tongtong to herd the horses and herd the sheep." After saying that, he stood up and left.
The second prince looked at the walking figure and didn't react for a long time.
The fifth princess came out from behind the pillar, stood beside the second prince, and whispered: "Second brother, what he said is true."
I know! It is precisely because of knowing that I feel more and more that perhaps I am missing something compared to him.
The fifth princess said, "Second brother, the eldest brother's marriage has been decided, and there is no possibility of going back on it. If he doesn't accept his concubine, he has almost no help. As a prince, there are only two helpers. One. One is the mother clan, and the other is the wife clan. The Xiao family, like the Gao family, has long been depleted! We all belong to the motherless clan. As for the wife clan, the eldest brother is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. And the second brother’s The marriage has not been decided, but there is still a chance."
The second prince looked at her sideways, "Concluding a marriage to seek help?"
The fifth princess nodded, "There's nothing despicable about this. After all, there are only a few marriages in the world where two people are happy. When you marry, you should marry a suitable girl. What's wrong with that?"
The second prince frowned, "This is not the right way!"
So what is the right path?
The second prince turned his face and looked at her: "Of course I have to make meritorious deeds. Merits are on top of it. Who can stop me? My father is on the throne. Will he be stingy about giving me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?" After saying that, he smiled brightly and said, "Reserve the throne."
If it were given to the eldest brother, I would still feel at ease. If the throne was given to Shiro, I would be competitive, and I would have nothing to say to others! I am not a saint, and I cannot become a saint. But I may not be willing to be a nepotistic benefactor.
As a disciple of Jin, this matter ends here and cannot be discussed further."
The fifth princess closed her eyes tightly, looked at the back of the second brother who turned away, and said angrily: "Brother, do you know what is the difference between you, the eldest brother, and Shiro?"
Where?
"Zai Silang never minds letting people know that he has a villainous side, but you and the eldest brother always regard yourself as gentlemen." The fifth princess looked at him, "Second brother, he was the one who killed, and he was the one who cried for mercy. That's why
It's Shiro. Second brother, the one who refuted me in person but adopted this suggestion behind my back is the king!"
The second prince paused, said nothing, and left.
The fifth princess watched the figure go away and stood there without moving for a long time.
The maid hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, the fourth princess has left the palace." Do you know where she went?
I don’t know!
"Stop staring at the fourth princess, pay attention to the news and see what generals my father has activated. The two old princes are going back to Beijing, and manpower needs to be sent to these two places. Provinces should be established and generals dispatched. I want to see the list of officials.
.”
The maid hurried away, but the fifth princess stood still without moving.
The Sixth Prince saw it from a distance and did not go near. He just sighed inwardly and said to the pebbles around him, "Everyone has his own plan, right?"
Xiao Shizi lowered his head and dared not speak.
The sixth prince looked up at the sky, "I knew it would be like this! According to the rules set by Taizu, does the princess also have the right to inherit?"
Xiao Shizi almost cried and knelt down with a pop.
The Sixth Prince lightly kicked him, "Looking at you like that, what are you afraid of? Get up."
Xiao Shizi stood up and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time to go back and have a meal."
Why should we go back after eating? "Let's go! Go to the East Palace."
What to do?
"Have a meal!" The sixth prince touched his nose, "Anyway, the position of prince is not your master's turn. Being close to any prince is not close. What the second brother wants is his business, and what the princess wants is also hers.
Your Highness has nothing to do with it..."
So, while Tongtong was still moving to the newly built East Palace with Fourth Master, Shi Jian reported that the Sixth Prince was here.
The two of them laughed, this Rokuro really has some abilities that others don't have.
Fourth Master smiled and said: "Please!"
So, people were invited.
Rokuro was no different from the past. He called out from a distance: "Brother Four Emperors." When he got close to him, he looked suddenly aware and said, "Greetings to the Crown Prince."
Before his knees even touched the ground, Fourth Master raised his hand to support him, "Why are you doing this? You're not polite."
As expected, Rokuro was not very polite, "While I was walking around outside, Xiao Shizi urged me to eat, and I was too lazy to go back, so I stopped by to eat."
That's fine, let's prepare the meal.
The meal consists of four fewer courses than that of my father, which is thirty-two courses.
Rokuro was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Shiro's meals were always simple, but now he had used up thirty-two dishes.
The fourth master kept what Rokuro and Tongtong liked to eat, and the rest was given to the officials in the East Palace.
Liulang thought thoughtfully. Taizu was very simple in the beginning, which meant that there should be four dishes and one soup. Unless there was a state banquet! But none of the scholars at that time were willing! So, the emperor's three meals a day were set at thirty-six dishes.
.Rewarding people before they finish eating. This was true for Taizu, his father was like this, and now that Shiro has become the prince, it is also like this.
My father is not easy to change, because this will make him look simple, but not simple enough compared to Taizu.
In the same way, Shiro couldn't say anything about this. If he did, it would make his father appear unsophisticated.
Putting the dish in your mouth, the taste was hard to describe. Suddenly, I felt like honey from A and arsenic and frost from B. It was not easy for Prince Shiro to cook it!
