Ever since the last time she poked Fei Hong in person, Xian Ruxing has always regretted it.
Originally, Fei Hong was famous all over the world and he was a very upright person. Although he got into trouble and misunderstood the kid for a while, but what could he do? Even if he was said a few words, he would not lose a piece of meat. In the workplace, no matter how unpleasant the words were,
Xian Ruxing can laugh it off, but her life has been so comfortable recently that her head is spinning.
Xian Ruxing is a person who often reflects on herself. She knows that Zhu Houcong will face greater turmoil when he becomes emperor. Nowadays, there is a rare opportunity to get to know important ministers, so she should seize it.
After discussing with Princess Jiang, a few days later, she came to apologize in person and offered a lot of nice words, finally coaxing the old man.
Later, he even asked Fei Hong to go to the palace to teach Zhu Houcong for a period of time. As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person. Maybe it was because he wanted to "supervise" King Xing at a close distance, or maybe the palace gave him too much. In short, Fei Hong finally
He agreed to the invitation and became a pseudonymous gentleman beside Zhu Houcong.
After several lessons, he also discovered that the young King Xing was really very intelligent. Not only was he familiar with poems, lyrics, and poems, but he was also involved in some unpopular water conservancy and tax laws. In addition to sometimes looking at things from a somewhat extreme perspective, he was a bit harsh in his treatment of others.
, can be said to be the perfect student of this era. In addition, as time went by, Fei Hong himself did not turn around and understood that not all feudal lords wanted to rebel, so he really taught each other carefully.
On this day, Zhu Houcong, who had just finished class, came to the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of battle slogans. When he got closer, he found that two stronger chamberlains were holding the two ends of the rope and spinning continuously, while his mother was holding the rope.
Sister Lu Bing and several maids jumped in one after another, while Master Xian Ruxing and Xianxian on one side were cheering loudly for others.
Zhu Houcong: "..."
A group of people were having fun, and no one noticed his arrival. Zhu Houcong walked up behind Lu Bing and said faintly: "Didn't you say in the morning that you were feeling uncomfortable today, so you didn't go to class? It turns out that's the case."
Lu Bing was so excited that he hurriedly ran to Princess Jiang. With a flattering smile on his face, he whispered: "It was originally because I had a stomachache. I jumped up and down just now and started to sweat a lot. Your Highness, you will also feel better someday."
You can try it.”
Zhu Houcong glanced at him sideways and didn't care. Lu Bing's mother was his wet nurse, and his father, Lu Songnaixing, was the official guard of the Imperial Palace. The two of them played together. Little Lu Bing was smart and cute, and had no other problems except bragging.
, Zhu Houcong has no brothers, so he treats Lu Bing like his own brother, and he usually goes in and out of the backyard without any precautions.
Mrs. Jiang also loved Lu Bing very much, so when she saw this scene, she quickly changed the subject and waved to her son: "You must be exhausted after a day of classes. Come over quickly and let me see. In the recent spring, there have been too many merchants coming and going in Anlu."
, your sister can't go out, so Master Xian Xian suggested that she come to 'jumping rope' to exercise. I only played it when I was in my boudoir, and I was itchy for a while, so I hope you can come and join us when you have nothing to do."
"Concubine, I am already fifteen years old this year." Zhu Houcong was a little helpless, while the eldest sister and Xian Ruxing were still laughing. After this year of recuperation, Fu'an's body has gotten much better. Although he is still weak and slender, he is not sick at all.
No disaster. As for the other one...
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but glance at the female crown, who happened to also raise his head, and their eyes met. The young man quickly turned his head away in embarrassment. After a long time, he suddenly realized, why should he hide? There is nothing to hide! So his eyes were bright and bright on purpose.
He looked at each other, but Xian Ruxing had already started to stare at the sky in a daze. Zhu Houcong couldn't help feeling depressed.
The war here is raging, but Xian Ruxing is not aware of it. Instead, he is summing it up in his heart. It seems that the time is almost up? Nothing will happen again, right?
With the experience and lessons learned by Prince Ning, Xian Ruxing had been keeping to himself this year. Except for Fei Hong and Tang Bohu, the two unofficials, he had almost no contact with any historical figures, for fear of losing Jiajing's throne to Butterfly.
Just when she was happily stroking the timeline in her mind, suddenly, Huang Jin walked in in a panic, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Eunuch Gu Dayong, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, is here with the Queen Mother's decree!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire courtyard was completely silent. Jiang was a little confused and didn't understand why the Queen Mother, who was far away in the capital, issued an edict, not to mention that it was Gu Dayong who came to announce the edict. This person was one of the "Eight Tigers" around Zhengde.
First, at the height of the popularity, even the emperor asked him to be the governor of military affairs. For a small vassal king like Xing Wangfu, even if he gave a gift, he had to see whether the other party wanted it or not.
What is he here for?
Zhu Houcong also had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, and suddenly recalled what Xian Ruxing once said, "Wait another half a year, and the pig will be able to turn around." At that time, he was scratching his head at being seduced, but after repeated inquiries, the other party avoided him.
If you don't talk about it, you will almost forget it after a long time.
It’s been exactly half a year since the last time.
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but look at Xian Ruxing and found the female Taoist priest standing at the back, smiling at him encouragingly. Suddenly, he seemed to be much calmer.
Facing the panic-stricken family, he quickly issued instructions and arranged everything to prepare for the order.
…
Duanlimen.
This is an important ceremonial place in the royal palace. The canonization ceremony of the vassal king is held here. During the New Year and festivals, the vassal king will also meet with local officials here. A few years ago, King Xing was seriously ill. To celebrate the occasion and to solve the "employment" problem of the refugees,
It was rebuilt and painted, so it looks magnificent from a distance.
However, from the perspective of Terutani Daiyong, a eunuch from the imperial city, it was just that.
But even so, he did not dare to show the slightest contempt. Instead, he called the palace servant next to him brother and brother, causing the other party to wave his hands repeatedly, saying that he did not dare.
Originally, Gu Dayong was an envoy to welcome the emperor, and he should have left with Liang Chu, Mao Cheng and others. However, he played a trick on the way and found an excuse to escape. After catching up with the eunuch who announced the decree, he directly snatched him away.
Errands. As the Supervisor of Ceremony, he had also been in charge of the West Factory. Normal eunuchs would naturally not dare to offend him, so they had no choice but to obey his orders.
Gu Dayong worked hard all the way and arrived at Anlu four or five days in advance just to meet the new king earlier. Because he knew that King Xiaoxing must be the most helpless at this time.
With more guidance, it is not difficult to cultivate a righteous emperor.
However, when he saw Zhu Houcong, he was a little disappointed. Although the young man opposite was a little unfamiliar with etiquette, he was calm and collected. He did not panic at all when he saw him. He led the whole family to kneel down and salute in an orderly manner.
Gu Da subconsciously turned his body. This is the future emperor! Who dares to accept his obeisance! So he quickly bowed and said to the other party: "Your Highness, this servant came early this time. Don't panic. It's a good thing."
, What a great thing!”
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all for your kindness. There is no right or wrong. Please tell me, father-in-law."
Gu Dayong was choked. At the same time, he realized that this new king seemed not to be trifled with. He did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. He held up the imperial edict and said loudly: "In accordance with the decree of the Empress Dowager Cishou, my brother is carrying out the emperor's edict. Xing
King Zhu Houcong, who faithfully accepts gifts, is respectful and kind, belongs to Yilunxe, and has entered the ancestral hall..."
There was a "buzz!" sound in everyone's mind, and they were all unable to think.
How is this so good, you are about to become the emperor?
Everyone, including Zhu Houcong who was already prepared, was knocked unconscious by the huge pie falling from the sky.
For a moment, the entire Duanlimen could only hear the sound of people breathing heavily.
That's right, Gu Dayong smiled slightly, that's right, now he can show his effect.
He lowered his head and smiled apologetically at Zhu Houcong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, please hurry up and accept the order."
Before Zhu Houcong could react, he heard a loud shout.
"Bold! Gu Dayong, the late emperor has just left and the gift has not been completed. Are you changing your words now to show disloyalty and injustice to His Highness?"
Gu Dayong froze when he heard the voice. He opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at the old man in the corner, "Fei Hong!? Why are you here?"
As a qualified traitor, Gu Dayong had clashed with Fei Hong more than once in those years, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he hated Fei Hong to the core. When Fei Hong was demoted, he was actually behind it. So now that he sees him, he can't help but
Referring to others, he said in a strange tone: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Fei is far away from the temple and worried about government affairs, so he will be able to return to the cabinet soon. I would like to congratulate you here."
Fei Hong snorted, too lazy to talk nonsense, but thanks to his interruption, Zhu Houcong, who was still a little confused, woke up as if from a dream.
After receiving the decree, the young man smiled slightly as he looked at Gu Dayong with eyes full of expectation, and ordered his men to take Gu Dayong to contact the local officials.
"Ah?" Gu Dayong was a little confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't he stay in the mansion and inquire about the capital?
"Eunuch Gu arrived early, so I don't dare to pay you a private visit. I believe that everyone in Anlu will do their best to welcome you when they know you are here. Please invite me first." Zhu Houcong's attitude is very obvious. As the saying goes, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct." Since the imperial court sent
If you have to welcome the team, then you must clearly distinguish between public and private, and private versus private. Otherwise, why would you invite a eunuch to enter the palace first?
Gu Dayong was stung, but he did not dare to contradict the future emperor, so he could only glare at Fei Hong fiercely. At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a beautiful Taoist nun of seventeen or eighteen years old standing next to Fei Hong.
How could a female Taoist priest appear on such an occasion?
Gu Dayong was puzzled, and at the same time he made a note in his mind, thinking that he would ask someone to inquire about it later.
After he left, the rest of the crowd cleared out, leaving only a few confidants around. Everyone was in an uproar, and even Yuan Zonggao, who had always been mature and prudent, couldn't help but giggle.
The young prince is going to be the emperor!!
Princess Jiang held her son and was so excited that she couldn't speak. After a long time, she finally said: "Remember to put a stick of incense for your father later and pray that there won't be any trouble in this."
In fact, everyone knows that even the Queen Mother Yi issued the decree, and this matter is basically inseparable. Fei Hong looked at Zhu Houcong with a complicated expression. At this time, even he himself was not sure how it could be such a coincidence!
?
Among them, only Xian Ruxing looked as usual. Zhu Houcong endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but came to her side and said excitedly: "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Xian Ruxing did not answer, only shook his head gently.
Zhu Houcong suddenly calmed down under her gaze, looked at her deeply, and the young man said in a deep voice: "Wait, wait for me! I will definitely..." Before he could finish his words, he turned and left.
Xian Ruxing, who was just showing off out of habit: "???"
