Huangmen Shilang of the Quanjian School is still studying national history and is also the prince's right concubine. Xu Jingzong, a male from Gaoyang County, is wearing a scarlet robe and is reporting to the prince.
"Your Highness, all the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall have requested that His Highness be crowned in February. The saint has already done so."
"There are also Zhongshu who drafted the edict in accordance with the holy will. After His Highness crowned him with the crown, the emperor's brother, King Jing, King Han, King Xu, King Han, King Peng, King Zheng, and other six kings, as well as the princes King Wu, King Qi, and King Shu, These nine kings will leave the country of Beijing."
Cheng Qian put down the Zizhi Tongjian in his hand and said, "Does the King of Wei rule the country?"
"I heard that His Majesty specially ordered the King of Wei to stay in Beijing to accompany the Queen, and not to join the feudal clan for the time being."
The nine kings who are about to become a vassal, the oldest is sixteen and the youngest is twelve. The sixth brother, Jing Wang Yuanjing, pays homage to the governor of Jingzhou, the seventh brother, Han Wang Yuanchang, pays homage to the governor of Liangzhou, the tenth brother, Xu Wangyuan, pays homage to the governor of Xuzhou, and the eleventh brother Yuan Jia paid homage to the governor of Luzhou,
Peng Wangyuan, the twelfth emperor's brother, became the governor of Suizhou, and Zheng Wangyuan, the thirteenth emperor's brother, became the governor of Zhengzhou.
The third prince, King Li Ke of Wu, paid homage to the governor of Anzhou, the fifth prince, King Li You of Qi, paid homage to the governor of Qizhou, and the sixth prince, King Li Min of Shu, paid homage to the governor of Yizhou.
Because Li You worshiped the governor of Qizhou, he was granted the title of governor of Qizhou, and Qin Qiong was granted the title of governor of Dengzhou.
"All nine kings will leave the country in two months?"
"Well, Zhongshu has drafted the edict."
Cheng Qian was silent, but his face did not show much dissatisfaction, although he did have some dissatisfaction in his heart, mainly against Li Tai.
Now among the emperor's younger brothers and princes who are over twelve years old, apart from him, the crown prince, only Li Tai can stay in the capital.
This unique specialness made him very dissatisfied.
The emperor wanted to rush to the fiefdom even with his 12-year-old younger brother, the prince, but he wanted to keep the 14-year-old Li Tai in the capital. Of course, Li Tai was the legitimate prince after all, and the Empress Changsun was not in good health now, so it made sense to stay with her. , Ke Chengqian still felt very uncomfortable.
But now he knows how to hide his worries.
"Hasn't there been a letter from Lord Wu yet?" Xu Jingzong asked.
Today, although Xu Jingzong is acting as the Inspector Huangmen Shilang, he is one step closer to the prime minister, and is really only one step away from the political affairs hall. He is also the right concubine of the East Palace. Xu's career is a very glorious moment, but he It is also clear that the most important reason for his current achievements is not that he was born in the famous Xu family in Gaoyang, nor that he was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.
But he became Wu Huaiyu's confidant very early, and also became the princeling of the East Palace.
He remembered clearly that when the emperor demoted him three times in succession, he was demoted from Chang'an to Xunyang, Jiangzhou as county magistrate. Without Wu Huaiyu's later help, he might have been forgotten in that small town south of the Yangtze River.
Xu Jingzong's future is tied to Wu Huaiyu and the prince.
Wei King Li Tai, who threatened the prince, naturally became his enemy.
He was waiting for Wu Huaiyu's counterattack,
He believed that Wu Huaiyu would definitely counter Li Tai's methods.
But there has been no news,
Xu Jingzong knew that there was a special postal channel between the emperor and Huaiyu, and he could even guarantee that the letter could be delivered from Chang'an to Guangzhou in three to five days. Sometimes the emperor and his ministers could exchange secret messages once every seven days.
Cheng Qian also received permission from the emperor to use this passage to exchange letters with his teacher.
"After the New Year, the teacher came to write several times, but he didn't mention anything about the Shifeng governor, let alone the king of Wei." Cheng Qian said truthfully.
"Perhaps the trouble is serious and Duke Wu is worried about the exchange of letters, so he may send his trusted aide directly to Beijing for an interview."
"Maybe, but I feel like the done deal is already done, and I'm afraid there's no room for change."
How can the emperor's will be changed overnight?
Xu Jingzong thought that this was also the case, but he didn't really believe in Wu Huaiyu's ability. He was a person who had the ability to turn the tide.
"By the way, I also heard news today. Due to the death of Pei Ji, it was rumored that King Jing wanted to divorce his wife and marry another one. King Jing fell in love with the fifth daughter of Prime Minister Xiao Yu,"
Cheng Qian is a little interested in this melon.
The recent news that Pei Ji died of illness on the way to the imperial court has caused a lot of heated discussion in Chang'an. After all, that man was a good brother of Emperor Wude and the most important minister of Emperor Wude.
Everyone believed that he did not die of illness, but was killed by Hou Junji. Since Hou Junji had no personal enmity with Pei Ji, he must have done it for the emperor.
Who doesn’t know the grudges between Emperor Zhenguan and Pei Ji?
Therefore, although there is no evidence for this matter, the conspiracy theory is so popular that everyone believes that even Cheng Qian secretly felt that Pei Ji was killed by Hou Junji ordered by the emperor.
Once it's over, it saves you the trouble.
At first, Pei Ji was so favored by the emperor that he betrothed the daughter of his old associate Pei Ji as his wife for the sixth prince Yuan Jing. However, who would have thought that after the Xuanwu Sect incident, the emperor abdicated the throne, and Pei Ji did not survive for a few years, and was demoted again and again.
, first returned to his hometown, and later he was exiled to Jingzhou,
In Jingzhou, he also encountered a rebellion by mountain tigers. He finally put down the rebellion and summoned him back to the court, but he died again on the way.
It was a good thing that he died. The emperor missed his old love and gave him a posthumous title.
But the sixteen-year-old King Yuanjing of Jing couldn't sit still, especially because of the rumors about Chang'an. He felt very frightened, so he wanted to regret his marriage.
It is said that he is divorcing his wife, but in fact the marriage has not been officially consummated.
After all, King Jing is only sixteen this year, and Pei is still a few years younger.
The marriage was supposed to be completed in two years, but now that Pei Ji dies, the Pei family will have to observe mourning for at least three years. King Jing is too old to wait for it. However, the Pei family has lost power, and King Jing wants to take the opportunity to regret the marriage.
He even chose a newcomer, Xiao Yu's fifth daughter.
I am fifteen years old this year, which is just the right age.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was still the prime minister, and the Lanling Xiao family was a famous family.
The Xiao family was still establishing the Western Liang Dynasty in Jingzhou. He is about to go to Jingzhou to guard it. He may even become the hereditary governor of Jingzhou and marry into the Xiao family. That would be great.
"My uncle, the Sixth Emperor, is really good at making good deals. His abacus is so loud that I, the East Palace, can hear it."
Xu Jingzong also nodded. Although King Jing was young, he did have a good mind and courage. Pei would still have a certain burden if he regretted the marriage at this time, but he just dared to do it.
"Will Xiao Xiang agree?"
"It's hard to say, but there are rumors that Mr. Xiao actually plans to send his daughter to become a monk next year,"
Everyone in Chang'an knows that Xiao Yu worships Buddhism and respects it very much. This can be said to be the tradition of their Xiao family, who have always respected Buddhism.
When he was still an uncle in the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Yu dedicated his two daughters to Buddhism as bhikshunis. The eldest daughter was only three years old when she was dedicated to Buddhism. She was his eldest daughter, Master Fa Le. The second daughter was
He raised her to become a monk at the age of thirteen, with the Buddhist name Fa Yuan, but when she was very young, he promised to become a monk in the future.
Xiao Yu plans to send the fifth daughter, the one whom King Jing is interested in, to become a monk next year.
Xiao Yu not only sent his two daughters to become monks, but also sent one of his sons to become monks. When he once argued with the emperor Li Shimin, he even got so angry that he wanted to become a monk too. Li Shimin agreed angrily, but Xiao Yu later
Yu regretted it again and made Li Shimin angry, yelling at him repeatedly.
Xiao Yu was only in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and he only bowed to the prime minister's seat a few times, but he was still the boss of the court, and Yuan Jing had a good taste.
"Actually, there are rumors that King Jing actually preferred a girl from the Wu family, but it was just that neither Zhou Guogong nor Jin Guogong had a daughter of the right age."
"My Uncle Sixth Emperor is quite interesting. You Shuzi, do you think we can get close to him?"
Xu Jingzong thought for a while, Li Yuanjing is the sixth emperor's brother, and he is also the oldest among the current emperor's brothers. He is smart and courageous, and he is about to leave the country of vassal and leave Jingzhou. Jingzhou is an important town in Shannan and is close to Chang'an.
Having a good relationship with the Sixth Emperor's Uncle can be regarded as a powerful foreign aid.
"You can try it, but you must be careful. After all, he is the lord of the vassal. If you do anything wrong, it will easily arouse suspicion."
