Chapter 10: The emperor talks with his prime minister at night in the royal study room, slanders, loyal and obedient, and punished
The city of Shenjing was full of celebrations, but the palace was quite deserted. This was because Concubine Yuan and two other noble concubines were ordered to return to the province today.
A large number of people were mobilized to accompany them, and the lights in the east and west palaces were dimmed a lot.
The imperial study room in the Yangxin Hall on the east side of the palace. Today's Emperor Qingfeng advocates frugality, so the furnishings in the imperial study room are not luxurious, but they are grand enough. They include pillars with carved dragons, soft couches, screens, vases, and rosewood tables.
There are also a lot of chairs.
There is a whole row of bookshelves next to it. On the left are all kinds of books neatly arranged. On the right are eighteen drawers spaced apart. On the drawers there is a wooden sign nailed with the inscription Daxia Dynasty 15
Provinces, Liaodong, Beiting, and Western Regions. Among them, the two drawers of the North and South Zhili are the largest, occupying one vertical row, and the remaining fourteen drawers are in a four-four pattern.
A middle-aged man in bright yellow clothing sat behind the case in the middle of the study. Listening to what the person in front of the case was reporting, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, indicating that the owner of the room was in a good mood at the moment.
"In Xu Zheng, Concubine Yuan took a boat trip... In the early days of Hai, when she landed in the garden, she saw the words 'loyalty, filial piety and honesty' inscribed on the jade archway in front of the garden. Concubine Yuan praised her kindness... At the beginning of Zichu, she gave a banquet and some operas in the main hall of the garden.
During this period, Jia Lan, the leader of the new science academy in Shuntian Prefecture, summoned the pair. Later, he ordered his sisters to join the Rongguo Jia Zheng's second son Baoyu, his eldest grandson Jia Lan, the former doctor of Lantai Temple, the inspector of salt inspection Lin Ruhainv, and the former Ziwei She was transferred to the Xue family.
The girl wrote a poem to celebrate together, and the poem said..."
If someone from the Jia family were listening to it, they would definitely be horrified, because the details about Concubine Yuan's marriage are as if they were there in person, and I may not even be able to record them in such detail.
It took about a quarter of an hour to finish reading. Emperor Qingfeng, who was behind the imperial case, waved his hand. The man bowed and bowed, handed the scroll in his hand to the chamberlain on the side, bowed and bowed out respectfully. "Loyalty, filial piety and integrity! What a loyalty, filial piety and integrity! Sir, if half of our Daxia scholars can have the consciousness of Jia Lan, why worry about the world not being governed? The bandits and bandits being unjust? The frontiers being unjust?"
Emperor Qingfeng stood up with a sigh, put his hands behind his back and said lightly to an elderly official sitting on one side.
The minister who was called "Sir" by Emperor Qingfeng was in his sixtieth year. He had an upright manner, a beautiful beard that reached his chest, and was not strict but strong. He was wearing a crimson official robe with a crane patch on it. He had served in various ministries and was later on.
The study room served as Zhu Sidao, the chief minister of the cabinet of Emperor Qingfeng's master.
Although today is the Lantern Festival, the duties of the chief assistant must take turns. At midnight, Emperor Qingfeng respected the teacher and specially ordered him to enter the imperial study to work with the emperor.
Zhu Sidao gently stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Don't you think it took three hundred years for the Song Dynasty to cultivate scholars, and only Wen Tianxiang was born. The Holy Spirit is so eager to seek treatment."
"There's not a day that goes by that I don't long for great governance in the world!" Emperor Qingfeng looked serious, picked up the detailed report on his desk and looked at it again, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the fourth generation of Rongguo Mansion finally produced a successful person, I'm not in vain.
I gave him a loose official position, I just hope that he will be a consistent person on the outside and will not live up to my expectations!"
"This son of Jia Lan has also heard about it. A year ago, this son entered Diecui Academy under Juyongguan Pass. He devoted himself to studying and his grades improved by leaps and bounds. Not only was he promoted from the outer academy to the inner academy, he also passed the undergraduate Shuntianfu Academy Examination. From my perspective
If this son can guard against arrogance and impetuosity and study quietly, he may not be able to be famous outside the Donghua Gate in the future."
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly someone walked in without any notice.
When Emperor Qingfeng saw this, he immediately straightened his face and shouted: "Baby, are there any more rules?! Didn't you see that Yuan Fu and I were discussing?!"
The visitor was wearing a Jiuzhang costume that only a prince could wear. He was not afraid when the emperor was angry. He smiled and knelt down to apologize to the emperor and ask for his blessing.
The emperor cursed, but still ordered him to get up and reply: "That's all, today is the Lantern Festival. If you don't hold a banquet in your Prince Zhongshun's palace, why do you want to come to me?"
This loyal and obedient king was named Xiao Pingze, the eighth son of the Supreme Emperor. He was the younger brother of Emperor Qingfeng's mother. Their mother and concubine was the deceased Empress Xiao Gongren. After Emperor Qingfeng succeeded to the throne, he relied heavily on this younger brother, and Xiao Pingze also
He was able to handle affairs, so he was promoted to the title of King Zhongshun a few years ago and ordered to assist in handling important military affairs.
King Zhongshun took out a copy of the document from his arms and presented it. Emperor Qingfeng took it and looked at it. His face changed slightly. After a while, he raised his head and looked at King Zhongshun up and down, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Your Majesty and Prince Zhongyi went to the Zuiqiong Restaurant owned by the Jia family incognito? And they had a secret conversation?"
Emperor Qingfeng was so angry that he trembled. He threw the copy back on King Zhongshun and cursed: "Old man, are you sick?! How dare you spy on the Supreme Emperor privately?! Dai Quan! Come here!"
At this time, Dai Quan, the eunuch and eunuch who was attending the ceremony, took a step forward.
"I have been told that King Zhongshun behaved erratically and will be fined one year of salary. He is ordered to reflect at home. I admire this!"
King Zhongshun changed his color instantly: "Brother Emperor?!" But Emperor Qingfeng didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and just ordered someone to fork it out.
"It's so outrageous. He actually dared to spy on the Supreme Being. Will he dare to send someone to spy on me the next day?!" Emperor Qingfeng complained to Zhu Sidao angrily: "None of my younger brothers are capable...
…”
The matter involved the royal family. Even though Zhu Sidao was called "Emperor Master" and "Famous Prime Minister", he did not dare to say anything and could only offer some comfort.
After the waiting time, Zhu Sidao resigned, and Emperor Qingfeng approved a few more memorials, and then sent Dai Quan out, sitting quietly on the dragon chair and thinking.
After a moment, the emperor gently called behind him: "Come out."
In the blink of an eye, two figures, one gray and one white, appeared out of thin air in front of the throne. They were two monks. One held a Buddhist bead in his left hand. He was powerful and looked like an angry-eyed Vajra. The other held a Buddhist bead in his right hand, gentle and elegant, as handsome as a jade face.
Lang Jun!
"Does the secret guard have any news about what King Zhongshun mentioned?"
The gray-robed monk shouted: "Yes!" He took out a paper from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it and placed it on the imperial desk.
Emperor Qingfeng took a look and saw that it described the Emperor Taishang and Prince Zhongyi traveling incognito in Zuiqionglou. The content was much more detailed than Prince Zhongshun’s half-hearted report."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty is surrounded by experts, and your subordinates dare not get too close..."
Emperor Qingfeng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm sorry, it's not a big deal. It's just that I was unwilling to let my nephew go that day, and I did some small tricks privately to take advantage of my father's favor. On the other hand, you have to keep an eye on me at the other end of the Prince's Palace in Beijing."
Come on, there are also those family members of the old concubine in the south..."
"Yes!" The gray figure disappeared, and after a while, Dai Quan returned holding a cup of ginseng tea. After walking into the study, his nose twitched slightly, his eyebrows wrinkled and relaxed, and he secretly looked around the room, and saw nothing strange.
