Chapter five hundred and eighty third crown ceremony like a play
The emperor finally understood Zhu Jing's mood. In the past, he treated Zhu Ying as half a daughter, and he was quite satisfied with Zhang Shou, a good son-in-law riding a dragon. But now he heard Zhu Ying calling her in a soft tone.
He was looking at his uncle, and then he actually wanted benefits for Zhang Shou. No matter how he heard this, he felt uncomfortable.
It’s not surprising that girls are outgoing, but girl, ask yourself, the jade pendant that Zhang Shou dropped before was truly mine. I digressed into that topic at the banquet yesterday without any accountability at all. You still want to compensate me now, are you embarrassed?
?
However, seeing Zhu Ying's confident look and seeing Zhang Shou looking at him with an innocent face, the emperor thought of the past and finally sighed at Zhang Shou.
"Your mother is kind-hearted and strong-willed. She is much stronger than the chaste women who ask for honors in those places. Although I have granted her the title of Yiren before, I have actually wronged her. I don't want people to stare at you three too much."
Her life experience turned out to be counterproductive. Now that the truth has been revealed, I will order someone to draw up a decree and posthumously designate her as the first-grade Mrs. Zhaolie."
"As for your dead scholar father, I am not discriminating between one and the other. He did not have any merit. Although it is not impossible to have a wife and a husband, it is said that he studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, hoping to make his wife a shadow, so that his wife would not
It's such a hard work. If you knew that you were awarded the title because of your wife, I'm afraid you would be depressed. So, if you want to give the title to your father, you should work hard yourself!"
"A father values his son, I think he will be happy then."
Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile at the emperor's unique reasoning - of course, he also agreed with these words. However, while the emperor claimed to be hiding his identity, he was also formulating decrees for the cabinet and making grand gestures such as posthumous titles.
It would be a bit funny to reveal his identity. So, he said with a smile: "I will go to the palace to thank the emperor the next day. Today I will thank my uncle first!"
Only then did the emperor realize his speech disorder. He immediately coughed, and then said majestically: "That is, for such a big matter, of course you should go to the palace in person, but you are also a member of the palace, so don't
Yingying has been with me in everything... Well, since you smashed the jade pendant yesterday, I will reward you with another piece. If you smash it again this time, there will be no more!"
After saying this, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Zhang Shou. Then he clapped his hands and looked at Zhu Ying and said, "Yingying, are you satisfied with this compensation?"
Seeing Zhu Ying smiling and nodding, Zhang Shou took the jade pendant, thanked him and put it on his waist, as if he didn't care about the quality of the jade or the meaning. Although this was the reaction he hoped for, he could
Faced with such a reaction, he couldn't help but said depressedly: "Zhang Shou, don't you look at whether this jade pendant is white jade or sapphire. What is the pattern?"
"If we were in the Qianqing Palace, then the thunder, rain and dew would all be due to your kindness, but since we are in the Lu family..." Zhang Shou paused and chuckled, "As long as it is my uncle's belongings, it is copper and iron.
It is also a wish to care for the younger generation. As for the pattern, if it is not a good intention such as good luck and good luck, will you keep it with you? "
Lu Wan on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw the emperor. He couldn't help feeling envious, thinking that Zhang Shou was really blessed. With a fiancée like Zhu Ying who deeply loved the Holy Heart, he really didn't have to worry about anything.
What's annoying is that his fat son was just chasing Zhu Ying as a show! Although Zhu Ying definitely despised the little fat guy, but Youdao is a gentle lady and a gentleman, so this chubby bastard can't
He liked a beauty like Zhu Ying. When he learned the truth, he almost stared out of his eyes. He almost thought that this kid liked men!
He finally succeeded in getting married to the Liu family. The young man in the in-laws' family actually liked this little fat boy. He really didn't know whether to be happy or angry. Because this boy wanted to advance the wedding date, but instead of telling him, he ran to him first.
Let the Liu family speak!
Lu Sanlang, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room behind the main hall of the Lu Mansion, with his hair tied up, couldn't help sneezing three times in a row, and then he touched his nose suspiciously. He didn't suspect that someone was talking about him behind his back.
I didn't say anything bad, but I was wondering if I had caught a cold because I was so excited that the eldest prince and the second prince were kicked out of the capital last night.
Just when he was suspicious, the door was suddenly opened.
He thought it was his father who was still worried, so he came to remind him. But when he looked up and saw Ah Liu, he couldn't help but was slightly startled. But before he could call someone, Ah Liu put his finger on his lips.
She made a gesture of silence, then walked up to him and uttered four words concisely: "The Emperor is here."
Seeing that the little fat man looked confused, Ah Liu asked with some confusion: "Didn't your father tell you?"
Facing Lu Sanlang who was more confused at first and then furious, Ah Liu couldn't help laughing: "I saw your father was so furious that he went around informing others... By the way, the emperor also rewarded you with a jade lion paperweight and a rhinoceros horn.
hairpin."
What is this and what! I, the most important protagonist today, don’t even know! The little fat man felt like he was going to explode. The emperor arrived and even rewarded him with such an important thing. His father was busy informing this and that, but
He even forgot to inform him. This was simply the greatest disregard! But just as he was sitting cross-legged on the ground and feeling angry, Ah Liu squatted down in front of him.
"Your father won't tell you because you don't have to worry about him."
Who is Lu Sanlang? He is fat but very clever. Although Ah Liu's words seem to be a little meaningless, he still understands them instantly. After a slight hesitation, he showed an expression of satisfaction. This is true,
Compared to his two brothers who were good at studies but not so good at being officials, he didn't need anyone's teaching in some aspects!
He immediately asked in a low voice: "Brother Six, did the Emperor come out because he didn't have a sutra feast today?" After receiving Ah Liu's affirmative answer, he asked about the emperor's attitude again and understood that the emperor wanted to watch the ceremony in a low-key manner.
Or maybe he was just joining in the fun, he couldn't help but smile. There is no doubt that the emperor wanted everyone to pretend to be confused and pretend not to know him!
Now that he understood it, Lu Sanlang smiled and bowed his hands to Ah Liu to express his gratitude - no matter whether it was Zhang Shou asking Ah Liu to inform him, or whether it was Ah Liu's own whim, anyway, it was better than him who was so anxious and forgetful.
He was the father of his son. However, when he thought of the emperor's presence in person today, he lost all resentment.
Even the prince's crowning ceremony may not be attended by the emperor in person. His treatment is simply the first in the capital! Who told his teacher Zhang Shou not to hold the crowning ceremony in the first place? But that's right, everyone has already worn the Jinxian Crown and been crowned.
It's a royal court, so it would be weird to perform the crowning ceremony again!
When Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry entered the Lu Mansion, he thought he was just here to attend the crowning ceremony of his future son-in-law. However, when he met Lu Wan at the second gate who was personally waiting for his in-laws, he learned that the emperor had arrived.
He couldn't help but fell into the same crazy state as Lu Wan before, and felt that this was simply ridiculous.
"What are you doing here, Your Majesty? Isn't this the second day of the Sutra Feast today?" Hearing from Lu Wan that the Sutra Feast had been stopped today, Liu Shilang, who had taken leave of absence two days in advance to prepare for his daughter's wedding, felt even more dizzy.
Lu Sanlang is not Zhang Shou. If today was Zhang Shou's crowning ceremony, it would be more like if the emperor came to join in the fun in person!
"Okay, I have already greeted all the guests, including Sanlang's two uncles. In short, treat the emperor as a distinguished guest, don't be too formal, and don't make any noise. You know, he came here with Zhu Ying,
Even my concierge doesn’t know that the Emperor is coming, so just let this one pass by safely!"
Seeing the helpless expression on Liu Shilang's face, Lu Wan suddenly remembered another thing, and quickly took him a few steps forward, then lowered his voice and said, "The emperor just mentioned that it was Yingzhao Ming Academy.
At the invitation of Chief Takeyama, we are summoning people from all over the world who are proficient in astronomy and mathematics to come to the capital. It seems that a few people from Kinki have already responded to the call, and maybe they will come soon."
"Listening to the emperor's tone, how to identify and select talents may be left to Saburo."
This time, even Liu Shilang, who was really optimistic about the son-in-law of the little fat man, only thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He was not surprised that the little fat man could become the East Palace Attendant and had a rank. After all, the third prince liked
It is obvious that arithmetic is something that Zhang Shou may not be free to teach all the time. So, as the first chief of the Jiuzhang Hall, Lu Sanlang can be half a teacher.
However, the emperor actually handed over such an important matter to this little fat man, which is no longer enough to be described by the word trust! In other words, to put it nicely, it was the emperor's originality, but to put it badly... it was just nonsense!
Liu Shilang couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Can Lu Zhu do it?"
"I don't know either." Although Lu Wan had just thanked the teacher Zhang Shou and admitted that his fat son did have some talent and talent, he also frankly expressed his disapproval at this time, "I just think
, Your Majesty, don’t overestimate that kid just because Mrs. Ge and Dr. Zhang are so powerful.”
Liu Shilang wanted to say, don't underestimate your son too much, but he himself was also not sure whether Lu Sanlang could do it, so he had to stay there with Lu Wan to have a headache. When the in-law duo came to the hall, they saw the whole body.
The emperor in casual clothes was chatting and laughing with two middle-aged men. Lu Wan couldn't help but look very subtle. It took a long time before he gave Liu Shilang a low and wry smile.
"Those are my two uncles."
Lu Wan and Madam Lu were a young couple, well matched, and both came from official families. However, the Lu family was wealthy, but Madam Lu was inferior. One of the two brothers was an official in the imperial examination, but was far less successful than Lu Wan in officialdom, while the other was in business.
If he is successful, he will do whatever his brother-in-law does as an official. But the two of them have always been optimistic about their two older nephews. How could they have imagined that the little fat man would be what he is today?
Even though they knew that they were the emperor in front of them, they still had to address him as Master Zheng. When dealing with the emperor's whims and unbridled questions, the two brothers' faces were almost frozen, and their smiles were so stiff that they could hardly stand up to Lu Wan.
Bringing Liu Shilang over, the two of them almost fled aside.
Although Liu Shilang was familiar with the emperor, he felt extremely unnatural when he saw the emperor at this time. Especially when the emperor asked him enthusiastically what gift he would give Lu Sanlang today to celebrate Yuanfu,
He just felt that the gift he brought was simply too thin.
Didn't you notice that the emperor, an unrelated person, was extremely generous in his actions?
Although Lu Wan had not shown it to him as if it were a show off - because the things had been hurriedly taken back to the room for collection - she had also told him that they were a jade lion paperweight and a rhinoceros horn hairpin, which he prepared for Lu Sanlang.
The gift is just two books.
Knowing that he could not evade the past, Liu Shilang could only say honestly: "They are two Song books collected by my family in the bookshop. They are said to be the notes of Su Song, the famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. Su Song was a scholar of heaven and man, and he had a wide range of knowledge.
He is also very accomplished in arithmetic. I was not sure whether the book was true or false, so I gave it to Lu Sanlang and asked him to check it out himself."
Liu Shilang originally thought that the emperor must not be interested if he spoke so uncertainly, but who knew that the emperor actually smiled and stretched out his hand directly to him, as if he wanted to take a look at it first. In desperation, he could only look at it from behind.
The boy took a shallow carved lacquer box in his hands and brought it to the emperor.
After seeing the person taking it in person, he immediately opened the box and took the book, and then read it one by one, reading with gusto. Liu Shilang suddenly had the urge to simply transfer the book to the emperor.
Fortunately, he only had this thought for a moment before he heard Lu Wan's voice: "It's almost time, it's time for the crowning ceremony!"
The emperor then reluctantly put down the book, put it back into the carved lacquer box and gave it back to Liu Shilang. Seeing that Lu Wan had greeted the others and hurried out, he smiled and said to Liu Shilang: "You two are getting along well.
"
After saying this nonsense, he said with some regret: "Thinking back on my Yuanfu ceremony back then, it seemed that it was still very close before my eyes, but it turned out that it had been more than twenty years ago..." The emperor's Yuanfu ceremony was in this dynasty.
It is not very common, because most emperors were often crown princes before ascending the throne, so they were crowned princes in the East Palace early.
Although he was the prince, Ruizong was not strict with him, and even had a somewhat indulgent attitude towards him - because his father, who was born in a feudal prince's palace, believed that neither etiquette nor the complicated classics and history education were just for the purpose.
The prince was taught to be a fool. However, when his father was away, he still had to endure the ministers who regarded him as a fool.
Including the cumbersome and rigid etiquette, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Although the emperor hates red tape and usually likes to do as he pleases, this does not mean that the emperor really knows nothing about etiquette. In fact, the things he dislikes are often the most impressive. When Lu Sanlang's crowning ceremony began,
He sat among the guests and watched, easily picking out many flaws.
Realizing that most people were only looking at the elegant Zhang Shou and the contrasting Lu Sanlang, he couldn't help but sigh with regret. If the same group of ministers had been there when he first took charge... he would have probably been able to compare Lu Wan and Zhang
Shou is so angry! Just when he was slandering, he heard Zhang Shou's voice: "On the auspicious day of the month, I will start to add yuan. Abandon your ambition, follow your will and become virtuous. Shou is only Qi, and you are Jingfu."
