His Royal Highness the King of Shu has already set up the platform, and Emperor Jian'an only needs to half push and reluctantly agree, and then lament once more, "How can we bear the separation of brothers because of the deep love between brothers".
The King of Lu and King Min stood aside and stood still, watching silently as the King of Shu chanted and beat.
Prince Ning's face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly gloomy. He was snoring coldly in his heart.
This seventh child has been admiring the new emperor all day long. Now he is eager to be the first to go to the feudal lord. It is clear that he wants to drag all the brothers into the water...
No one expected Emperor Jian'an's reaction.
"My father died and was buried in the imperial mausoleum less than three months ago." Emperor Jian'an looked sad and sad: "As a son of a human being, he should be filial to his father."
"If I had ordered my brothers to join the feudal clan and stay away from the capital early, my father's spirit in heaven would know how to feel sad."
"Seventh brother, we are not in a hurry about the vassal affairs for the time being. We should wait until we have fulfilled our filial piety to our father before leaving the capital to become a vassal! We brothers can also spend more time together."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Ministers: "..."
It takes three years to observe filial piety. Emperor Jianwen passed away two years ago, and it is now the second year. It will take one year next year to start the period of filial piety. When Emperor Jian'an opened his mouth, it was two years.
In just a short moment, Sheng Hong had no idea how many curse words were said in his heart.
What a Sheng Che! What a Jian'an Emperor!
They are all sitting on the dragon throne, but they are still so guarded against their brothers. It seems that they don’t want their brothers to become vassals! Or is there another plan?
Sheng Hong thought in his heart and sighed: "The emperor's filial piety towards his father and brotherly love towards his younger brother made me deeply moved. However, the appointment of a vassal king as a vassal is a major national event and was decided by the ancestors of the Sheng family.
According to the rules, how can my brother linger in the capital and cause trouble for my brother?"
"I sincerely ask my brother to allow me to join the feudal clan. When my brother arrives in Shu, I will sincerely observe my filial piety for my father."
King Lu and King Min could not bear it anymore.
It's one thing to be a vassal if you don't want to, but it's another thing to be a vassal if the emperor doesn't let you.
The two of them came out together and asked for vassal status.
Only Prince Ning never opened his mouth to speak.
Emperor Jian'an glanced at him, his voice still gentle: "I know your concerns very well. You are all my direct brothers, I am the emperor, and I am also your brother. I want to keep my brother by my side for a while longer, but
It’s for the sake of brotherhood and has no other intentions. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he added: "This matter is settled. If there is nothing else, just retreat from the court!"
…
Sheng Hong felt so sulky that he had to go to the Ministry of Industry as an errand in the afternoon as if nothing had happened, and did not return to the Prince of Shu's Mansion until the evening.
Xie Mingxi had already received the news. Seeing Sheng Hong's handsome face full of anger, he felt quite distressed. He opened his mouth and whispered: "Why bother to be angry with such people!"
The anger in Sheng Hong's eyes grew stronger, and he snorted heavily: "I didn't expect that he would be such an ungrateful villain!"
Emperor Jian'an was established as the crown prince and successfully ascended the throne in just three years, and he was indispensable for his contribution. Not to mention rewards based on merit, at least he should not be stopped from joining the vassal!
He thought about the various difficulties he would encounter after going to the feudal territory, and planned to take more useful people to the feudal territory. He even thought about how to take care of his wife and daughter on the way.
What he didn't expect was that Emperor Jian'an would not allow him to become a vassal!
The more Sheng Hong thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he whispered coldly: "I don't believe it anymore. Even the Ninth Five Emperors can't act against everyone's will. In a few days, I will go to see the Second and Fifth Emperors in private, and
They discuss countermeasures together."
As for King Ning, it was clear that he did not want to join the vassal state. Emperor Jian'an was willing to fight while the other was willing to suffer.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed coldly: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to see my mother and the emperor's sister-in-law, and talk to them about this matter."
Xiao Yuhan's influence on Emperor Jian'an was limited.
The Empress Dowager Yu was different. As for the vassal issue, the Empress Dowager Yu had already promised her. As long as the Empress Dowager Yu was willing to stand up and support her, Emperor Jian'an would not let her go!
Sheng Hong exhaled forcefully, as if he wanted to let out the suffocation in his heart: "That's it! Let's not talk about him anymore! Just mentioning it makes me angry. I'm going to give Ah Luo a hug."
As soon as the white, fragrant and soft daughter came into his arms, most of Sheng Hong's anger dissipated. He lowered his head and kissed Aluonen's snoring face twice, and the remaining anger was swept away.
Xie Mingxi looked at her husband's cheerful look and raised the corners of his lips.
Worried about Emperor Jian'an's troubles?
nonexistent.
…
East Palace.
As a queen, Xiao Yuhan only has an empty name, but her information is much better than before.
When he learned what happened in the court, Xiao Yuhan felt angry. However, Emperor Jian'an often visited his concubines, and did not show up at all this night.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Jian'an came and took Xiao Yuhan and his daughter to Jiaofang Hall to pay their respects.
Xiao Yuhan couldn't sleep all night, and his face really didn't look good. He glanced at Emperor Jian'an and said calmly: "I heard that the emperor rejected the King of Shu's proposal to become a vassal in court yesterday. I wonder if this is the case?"
Emperor Jian'an nodded slightly: "It is indeed true. Why did the queen suddenly mention this? What kind of villain is talking nonsense in front of you?"
Xiao Yuhan glanced at him, and all the palace servants who were waiting on the side withdrew.
"Why doesn't the emperor let the King of Shu become a vassal?"
Xiao Yuhan suppressed his anger and tried his best to keep his tone softer: "The vassal king will stay in the capital for a long time, and there will be endless troubles. It is rare that the king of Shu is willing to invite himself to join the vassal. The other vassal kings have to go with him if they don't want to leave. To the emperor,
Say, this is a good thing that can be done in one fell swoop and saves worries, why hasn’t the emperor approved it?”
Emperor Jian'an frowned impatiently: "I have my own opinion on this matter.
"You, a woman, should not interfere with the important matters in the court. Just take good care of Sister Fu and honor your mother."
Xiao Yuhan: "..."
Xiao Yuhan tightened the corners of his mouth, hesitating between continuing to endure and being unable to bear it anymore.
Emperor Jian'an has been on the throne for more than a month, but he has not yet seen his ability as an emperor, and his temper has been getting worse. In the past, he was gentle and considerate to her, but now he is bossy and scolding her at every turn.
Firstly, it was because Emperor Jian'an was suppressed by Empress Dowager Yu everywhere, and he had nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction and vented his anger on her. Secondly, Emperor Jian'an had already sat on the throne and no longer needed to rely on the Yue family as in the past, so he had no regard for her as the queen.
due respect.
Xiao Yuhan's expression changed, and Emperor Jian'an's tone softened slightly: "Yuhan, I worry about political affairs all day long, and I have many things to worry about, and my temper can't help but become a little irritable. I don't mean to target you, so don't annoy me."
"As for the affairs of the vassal, I am well aware of it. If Princess Shu comes to see you, just blame it on me."
What else could she say?
Xiao Yuhan suppressed all the dissatisfaction and disappointment in his heart, responded in a low voice, and then followed Emperor Jian'an to Jiaofang Palace in silence.
Today, someone entered the palace earlier than the couple to pay their respects.
