Chapter 46: A Thousand-zhang Cliff Cuts Half Green (3)
Prince Wu's Mansion is still immersed in an atmosphere of joy
King Wu accepted concubines, and he accepted six of them at once. In this regard, Zhao Ji was indeed much more courageous than Zhao Si.
The first two are the Zheng family and the Wang family who were married by the Empress Dowager Xiang of Qingshou Palace.
These two were female officials of Qingshou Palace, and they were also served by palace maids. The personal maids of Zheng and Wang, Qiao and Wei, were beautiful and respectful, and were also adopted as concubines.
There are also the princess Wang family, the Cui family and the Wang family chosen to show women's virtues.
For such a great happy event, His Highness King Wu naturally held a grand banquet and invited all the guests. The six of them had been in King Wu's Mansion for several months. This time, he just gave them an explanation and invited everyone to get together.
After the title was established in the third year of Yuanfu, King Wu devoted himself wholeheartedly to artistic creation. He often held poetry meetings and literary meetings, which provided a good stage for the creation of poetry, calligraphy and painting.
At the same time, he also served as the honorary director of the Danqing Museum of Hongwen Academy and the deputy director of the Calligraphy Museum. He can be regarded as a leading figure in the calligraphy and painting circles of the Song Dynasty.
Yesterday's wedding banquet was attended by thousands of celebrities and literati. Even Mr. Dongpo, a leader in the literary world, came with a group of disciples to support him.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yichuan only sent a few disciples as representatives to congratulate him, but he did not come himself.
The house was full of guests, the seats were full of distinguished guests, the singing stage and the pavilion were filled with people drinking and drinking. It lasted most of the night, and at dawn, the guests of honor were exhausted and dispersed.
Zhao Ji didn't wake up until the afternoon, then sat in Linshui Pavilion and stared at the pond in a daze.
The chamberlains Li Yan and Tan Zhen stood on either side of him. They wetted a towel with warm water in a copper basin and gently wiped King Wu's face, neck and body.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but let out a long yawn.
Li Yan and Tan Zhen were afraid that their actions would hinder His Highness King Wu, so they quickly stopped and stood aside, resisting the thought of yawning too, and quietly waited for Zhao Ji to finish wiping.
After wiping it clean, he handed me a bowl of green warm water.
"Your Highness, this is the mouthwash specially made by the Royal Pharmacy Bureau. When you wake up in the morning, put it in your mouth and rinse it. It is most refreshing. Your Highness, please use it." Li Yan helped Zhao Ji take a sip.
Tan Zhen held a copper basin beside him and said quickly: "Your Highness, please do not eat it into your stomach. Medical officials say that eating it into your stomach is not good for your stomach."
Zhao Ji gargled for a while, then lowered his head and vomited it all into the copper basin.
"Your Highness, the medical officers from the Royal Pharmacy Bureau said that you should not drink water after spitting out this mouthwash, and wait for a quarter of an hour."
Zhao Ji nodded noncommittally and couldn't help but yawned again.
Then he seemed to think of something and whispered: "I have been so happy all night, and I feel physically and mentally exhausted, but I still feel that it is not enough. I still want to continue to be so happy day and night."
Li Yan smiled at the side and replied: "Your Highness is a god who came to earth, a nobleman from the heavenly family, and he came to this world just to enjoy blessings."
"I heard that every morning, Brother Thirteen... what time is it according to the new time... Yes, he gets up at 5:30 in the morning. He exercises, has breakfast, and listens to the morning newspaper being read. When he's done, he goes to Chongzheng Palace to deal with it.
For government affairs, I had lunch with the ministers in the palace. In the afternoon, I continued to deal with government affairs, or left the palace and ran around. In the evening, I went to Shengci Palace to have dinner. After eating, I went to Chongzheng Hall to handle government affairs or read a book. In the evening
I won’t go back to the harem until ten o’clock to rest.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but shook his head violently, "Father and brother are diligent in their work, but I didn't expect that Thirteenth Brother would be more... How can I live these days day by day? I might as well become a monk. Such a life
, this king will go crazy after just one day."
Tan Zhen said with a smile, "Everyone has his own rules and regulations on how to be an emperor. Everyone says that the officials are not as smart as your Highness. I am afraid they have to work hard to make up for their shortcomings."
Hearing this, Li Yan next to him quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Ji turned around and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you afraid of Bai Wuchang from the office in the east school?"
Tan Zhen quickly replied: "Young ones are not afraid of black and white. In my heart, I only have you, the king."
Zhao Ji laughed and said calmly: "You are not afraid, I am. In the future, say less about officials, so as not to bring trouble to me. Thirteenth brother is not a good person. Last month, the fourteenth brother who was imprisoned finally
No more. I heard that his belly was as distended as a big drum, and his whole body was as yellow as a strip of dried bacon."
"Several of his women, together with their children, each obtained dozens of acres of land, and lived in various places as common people. Their names are not listed in the family genealogy, and no one knows where they were placed. I do not want to end up with such an end.
Come one time."
Tan Zhen knelt down with a pop, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "The little one was confused for a moment and brought trouble to the king!"
"Forget it, get up. There are only three of us here, who will surrender?"
Zhao Ji said nonchalantly, and Li Yan's head dropped even lower.
"Your Highness, Officer Zheng and Officer Wang are here."
"Dafu and Jiangming are here. Please go to the study while I change my clothes."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Ji walked into the study, Zheng was in the middle, Wang Fu and Wang Fu stood up quickly: "I have met the king."
Zheng Juzhong was the son-in-law of the famous prime minister Wang Gui. At some point, he actually got in touch with Zheng, a female official of the Qingshou Palace, and became his uncle and brother.
After Zheng entered Prince Wu's Mansion, she was very popular with Zhao Ji. As soon as the wind blew by her pillow, Zheng Juzhong became a frequent visitor to Prince Wu's Mansion, and he was very valued by King Wu.
Wang Fu was originally a good friend of Wu Min and Bai Shizhong. When the gang was wiped out, he happened to be out of town and escaped.
Later, he returned to the capital and continued to work for the King of Wu, adhering to the "legendary wishes" of several friends.
Some people also say that these two people were unable to join the official family because they were attached to the official family. They had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and join the family of King Wu.
Before Zhao Ji could sit down, Wang Fu said with a happy face: "Your Highness, there is an uprising by righteous people in Hebei."
"The righteous people revolted? In which year in the Song Dynasty did the rebels not come out to cause trouble?"
"Your Highness, this time is very different. The volunteers gathered between thirty and forty thousand people and captured three counties. I heard that Hebei was shaken, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers went to seek refuge."
"So powerful?" Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, "Where did this group of people come from?"
"Your Highness," Zheng Juzhong looked much calmer and he replied calmly, "the people in charge are all monks from the temples in Zhaozhou, Hebei, and the followers are mostly tenants and believers in the temples. Some people say that behind them,
There are aristocratic families in Hebei who support it, and some people say that there is instigation from the Liao Kingdom behind them."
"Hebei aristocratic families and the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Ji said silently.
Wang Fu understood Zhao Ji's thoughts and said quickly: "Your Highness, this may be an opportunity. What these righteous people lack now is justice and honor. Should Your Highness send someone to Hebei to quietly contact them?
"
Zheng Juzhong saw Zhao Ji's eyes flinching and said quickly: "Your Highness, we don't know yet whether these righteous people can stop the government's army of tigers and wolves. I heard that Zhang Jizhong was appointed as the governor of Hebei, so he rushed to Hebei day and night.
, replace Mr. Zong."
"Zhang Yan Wang went to Hebei?" Zhao Ji was shocked. The pride and gloating that had been hidden in the corner of his mouth just now disappeared suddenly. "Then let's not get involved easily, let's just wait and see what happens."
Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu looked at each other and seemed to have expected Zhao Ji's reaction.
He just suggested: "It is too passive to just wait and see what happens. It is better to send a close friend to Hebei in disguise and have a look. Find out the real situation before making any plans."
"Well, okay! But who should we send?" Zhao Ji turned around in the faces of Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu.
They definitely can't.
The chamberlains are not good either. They are still members of the chamberlain department. Who knows if there are any ears and eyes there? Bai Wuchang's methods at Huatian are too clever.
Zhao Ji thought about it over and over, but only one person came to mind, and he issued an order to the door: "Go and call Gao Qiu."
Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu continued: "Your Highness, Zhang Jizhong has gone to Hebei, and the Kaifeng Mansion is vacant."
Zhao Ji's eyes flickered on the faces of Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu, with sneers and helplessness at the corners of his mouth, "You two want to fight?"
"No, Your Highness, we know that our qualifications are far from enough. We just want to persuade Your Highness, why not recommend yourself?"
"Should I be the governor of Kaifeng?" Zhao Ji was stunned. But then he thought, why not?
Seeing that Zhao Ji's heart was moved, Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu continued to persuade: "The palace said that the concubine is definitely happy, and the queen may be happy, but she hasn't given birth yet? There is no prince, so the emperor's brother is temporarily Kaifeng Fuyin, and he is also the ancestral one.
There are rules."
"But it's not enough for me to recommend myself. There are not many ministers in the court who are willing to say a word for me."
Not much? No.
Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu murmured in their hearts.
"How about I go to the Qingshou Palace and ask the empress for help..."
Zheng Juzhong and Wang Fu quickly stopped him, "No, Your Highness, we can't go to the Qingshou Palace. Why not go to the Shengci Palace?"
Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "Well, I will go to Shengci Palace." This chapter has been completed!
