Seeing the change of attitude of Ming Chengzu, Zhu Gaosui was secretly happy.
Zhang Lao's trick really worked.
He may no longer be of any importance in his father's mind, but his mother's position in his heart cannot be replaced by anyone.
Choosing the day of the Lantern Festival and carrying a box of black sesame-filled Lantern Festivals was enough to make my father’s imperial heart tremble.
If you cry about being poor a little longer, maybe your current situation can be improved.
Sure enough, staring at Zhu Gaosui, a kind of tenderness appeared in Ming Chengzu's eyes: "Sui'er, you said, there are not even preserved fruits in the kitchen of Prince Zhao's mansion?"
Zhu Gaosui's tall body bowed lower and clasped his fists: "Back to my father, Prince Zhao's Mansion did not dare to go beyond his father's teachings, and always put economy first. Preserved fruits are expensive and not a necessity for daily meals, so the kitchen of Prince Zhao's Mansion
Didn’t buy it.”
Raising his head, Ming Chengzu slowly closed his eyes, was silent for a while and then opened them again: "I have wronged you over the years. In the future, Prince Zhao's palace will regain its freedom. If you are willing, you can also participate in the morning court."
Hearing Ming Chengzu say this, Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed, but remained calm on the surface.
"My child is a guilty person. It's okay to open Prince Zhao's palace. Isn't it appropriate to participate in the morning court?" Zhu Gaosui said more respectfully, bowing his body.
"Whether it is the Crown Prince, the King of Han, or you, they are all my sons. In my mind, the most perfect ending is for you and the King of Han to assist your eldest brother and jointly govern our Ming Dynasty. Before, you had each other for the legitimate throne.
During the fight, I made many mistakes, and even became a laughing stock in the court. In desperation, I can only punish you heavily, and I only hope that you can truly wake up."
"Your eldest brother is generous and kind, and will not argue with you about the past. As long as you can truly change your ways and fully assist the prince, you will still be my good son. Is there anything inappropriate in participating in the morning court and understanding the important affairs of the court?"
The words of Ming Chengzu revealed a kind of majesty, and even more, a kind of expectation.
With a "pop", Zhu Gaosui knelt on the ground again: "My child has completely changed his past, and from now on he will actively assist the prince and jointly govern our world."
With his hands clasped in fists and looking at the majestic Ming Chengzu, Zhu Gaosui's face was full of sincerity.
"Okay, let's get up. Today is the Ming Dynasty Lantern Festival. Follow me to the imperial kitchen, and let's eat these black sesame-filled Lantern Festivals together." Ming Chengzu waved his hand, handed the gift box in his hand to Wang Xiaosi, and turned around
He walked out of the imperial study and walked towards the imperial dining room.
...
At Qinghe Store, Xiao Chen and Duan Tianming were on horseback, walking slowly on the official road back to Dongchang.
At Wang's house, after a bowl of Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival was over. Xiao Yu still had homework in the afternoon, so the two of them got up and left.
"Xiao Chen, do you think this royal family leader will become an official in the court?" Duan Tianming stared at the remains of the Yuanxiao that got into his teeth with his tongue, and lightly pinched the horse under his crotch with his legs.
The horse was also very psychic. He walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Xiao Chen.
"I think so. This royal patriarch is knowledgeable and talented, and he cares about the sufferings of the people all over the world. If he doesn't become an official in the court, it will be a great loss to the Ming Dynasty." Xiao Chen said calmly while holding the horse's reins with both hands.
The fact that this person was able to persuade the royal family leader was really beyond Xiao Chen's expectation. Originally, he thought he was just here to see Xiao Yu, but this was also an unexpected gain.
However, this harvest is huge and exciting.
Looking at the whole government and the public, there is no minister who can express his heart and soul. Even though all the ministers will bow their heads when they see him wearing purple clothes, he can't go out and demonstrate in front of ministers every day.
If there is a trustworthy person serving in the court, he can know a lot of information immediately without delaying the opportunity by conveying it layer by layer.
"It's just that it's the ancestral precept of the royal family chief not to enter the court and serve as an official. How do I feel that saying he should consider it is just the royal family head's refusal." Duan Tianming said slowly.
"If I guess correctly, this royal patriarch should be a descendant of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This ancestral precept of never entering the court as an official was probably left by Wang Xizhi back then. After all, Wang Xizhi was born in March of the 11th year of Yonghe.
Those who gave up their official positions due to illness. This ancestral motto has been passed down for dozens of generations and still exists, which only shows that the family tradition of the royal family is rigorous. If he said to consider it, then he must consider it." Xiao Chen swayed and said with a smile.
"Wang Xizhi? You said that the royal family leader is a descendant of Wang Xizhi? This is too incredible, isn't it? The Eastern Jin Dynasty has been nearly a thousand years, can this family motto still be passed down?" Duan Tianming obviously didn't believe it, he chuckled.
, as if hearing a joke.
"The royal family chief's ancestral home is Linyi and he lives in Hangzhou. Considering the calligraphy and paintings on his home, I can only guess and am not sure. However, there is a high possibility that he is a descendant of Wang Xizhi." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Hey, after working on it for a long time, you are not sure. I thought you were completely sure." Looking at Xiao Chen, Duan Tianming laughed teasingly.
Xiao Chen ignored him and continued to sit on the horse, moving forward slowly.
Seeing that Xiao Chen stopped answering, Duan Tianming lost the fun of teasing and caught up again.
"You said, since Xiao Chen is dead, Li An's head will be chopped off sooner or later. Is it better to let the royal family leader be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, or the minister of the Ministry of Punishments?" Duan Tianming asked, leaning his head.
Xiao Chen turned around with a look of disbelief on his face: "Commander Duan, did you eat too much Yuanxiao and talk nonsense? Do you think this court is like Dongchang? Without any experience, the emperor would appoint six ministers to sit here
?I think it is most suitable for the royal family chief to join the cabinet. His official rank is not high and he will not arouse the jealousy of others, but he can discuss important affairs of the court with the emperor. For the royal family chief, it is most suitable."
"Look, look." Duan Tianming pointed at Xiao Chen and grinned, "I just said that I thought the imperial court was our Dongchang. Now you start arranging positions for the royal family chief."
"Hahaha, shouldn't I think about it in advance? When I get the reply from the royal family leader, I will go and recommend it to the emperor to see what the emperor's arrangements are." Xiao Chen crossed his legs and ignored Duan Tianming behind him.
, galloping towards the capital.
"Hey, hey, I was just joking, you just left when you asked." Duan Tianming shouted, whipped the horse on the back, and chased after Xiao Chen.
In the Shangshu Mansion in Beijing, Li An was sitting in his living room with his face pale and his head drooped.
Opposite him stood the butler Wang Wencheng.
"It turns out that you are someone specially placed in my palace by the King of Han." Li An said slowly without raising his head. His voice was low, as if only he could hear it.
"My lord has misunderstood. I am just here to protect my lord under the order of the King of Han. From now on, I will still be your housekeeper." Although he was hunched over, Wang Wencheng's tone did not sound so pleasant to his ears.
