Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 113
As the weather gets colder, the leaves of the Forbidden City turn yellow in an instant. The autumn wind blew through, the falling wood fell, and it was particularly sparse against the red wall.
It was another month when the first snow fell in Beijing. The red walls and white tiles, the palace people are solemn, quiet and solemn.
Cheng Yujin also put on the fur collar clothes, the light gradually dimmed, staring at the small print for a long time, a bit dizzy. She put her book down and rested her eyes and asked, “What time is it?”
“It’s time to go back to the Crown Princess.”
“Yu Shi.” Cheng Yujin turned to look out the window and said to himself, “His Royal Highness should also be back.”
Forsythia came in to light up and heard the words: “His Royal Highness is now being reused, and he is coming back later every day. Fortunately, the Crown Prince is taking care of him, otherwise, wouldn’t your tiredness be so tired?”
Cheng Yujin Liangliang glanced at her: “If you don’t talk, no one will treat you as dumb.”
Du Ruo was serving next to him, and he laughed when he heard this. Forsythia failed to slap the horse fart, and was not afraid. He made a face to Du Ruo, and laughed like no one else: “Prince, you have looked at the booklet this afternoon. It’s dark and staring at things is bad for your eyes. You might as well put it down and loosen your bones. ”
Cheng Yujin shook his head and said, “There is not much left. There will be other arrangements tomorrow, and it will be solved together today.”
Forsythia knows that it can’t persuade, and no longer talks. She packed her things quickly and quickly, and said while doing things: “The slave-servant knew that the crown prince was coming from her own. It was a great idea. The slave-party’s mouth was broken. The truth was that the crown prince would listen. Nowadays, no one knows that the crown prince is extremely virtuous and capable. Inside and outside Miyagi, no one can say anything bad about you. The slave-servant heard that people outside the palace regard you as the standard for teaching their daughters. ”
Du Ruo heard a light sentence here: “The Crown Princess is a model girl in Beijing before she leaves the cabinet, and now she is praised by her husband. What is strange.”
“That’s different.” Forsythia whispered quickly, saying, “In the past, high-ranking women ordered the crown prince as their daughter-in-law, but now they are used as the standard for their daughters. How can this be the same?”
The two maids should make her happy together. Cheng Yujin couldn’t help but smile lightly, and the dullness of the afternoon swept away: “Okay, one can speak more than the other, and the parrots can’t compare to you. Stop it.”
Although the two maids have the intention to make Cheng Yujin happy, but they are right, that is, since this time, the reputation of Crown Prince and Crown Princess is very good. .
Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing are people who came out halfway, with no achievements, no name and no hope. Li Chengjing is better than Cheng Yujin and returned to his position half a year earlier. However, it is too shallow to replace the second prince’s momentum in the past decade only by half a year.
Fortunately, both of them are extremely restrained and sensible people, and both of them look good. When they go there one stop, they look like everyone’s imagined Chu Jun and Chu Jun’s concubine. Because the foundation is not stable, the two are not suitable for being too public, but every time the East Palace shows its face, it is very effective.
At first, everyone felt that this was what they pretended to be, and they held a wait-and-see attitude. However, since their marriage for half a year, their behavior has never been unreasonable. The couple model of the strong union between the two immortals and the immortals swept the Beijing social circle. Slowly, the front and back harems accepted the setting of the perfect couple, and the fame of the East Palace gradually grew.
After Cheng Yujin made a stunning debut at the Mid-Autumn Festival, Queen Yang was prepared for it and never gave Cheng Yujin a chance. Cheng Yujin didn’t care too. It wasn’t the prince’s duty to manage the harem. She was nothing to lose and she was relaxed. Why bother with Queen Yang?
However, during this time, Li Chengjing’s progress in the DPRK and China was much smoother than that of Cheng Yujin. Li Chengjing was “recovered” for a year, and there was nothing wrong with the associate political affairs during this year. He did not ask for credit, but when the emperor asked him, he could always give straight-forward insights. Although the cabinet is inconvenient to express its position, except for Yang Shoufu, the rest of the cabinet elders mentioned the prince, and they were mostly satisfied.
In the six months of the Ministry of Industry, he cleared the progress of various projects, and the old files that had been squeezed for many years were sorted out. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu highly appreciates the prince, and has repeatedly praised him in private.
Seeing people for a long time, since others do not believe, they will prove it a little bit. The East Palace never competes for merit, but they can handle everything that is handed to the East Palace.
Li Chengjing can be said to be the prince of everyone’s ideal. As the eldest son of a heir, gentle and elegant, he is also Jun Guoyi. At the same time, he was clean and self-righteous, not greedy for money and erotic, there is a princess who is dignified and virtuous, and the emperor’s father, Tzu Son, and the second prince, brother and brother. His status is justified, his virtue is impeccable, and most importantly, the emperor supports him.
Such a prince is really impeccable. The courtiers changed their positions unknowingly.
At the beginning, the emperor made an unanimous decision. He did not set up another prince in 14 years. When the prince came back, he brought him directly to listen to the government. Who is the emperor to? In fact, it is quite obvious.
This is the most important. It is the origin of how many dynasties and turbulences the emperor princes robbed each other, and now the emperor and prince get along well, and it is already a good thing that many ministers can’t expect. The Yang family is indeed powerful, but this world, after all, is surnamed Li.
To make it rougher, how long can Queen Mother Yang live, but how long can the Prince live? Not to mention that the crown prince has the support of the emperor, who should he go to, is it not obvious?
The courtiers silently had an idea in their hearts, but Li Chengjing’s prince was almost perfect, but there was something wrong.
He has no children under his knees.
After all, the crown prince is the crown prince. For the stability of the country, the emperor must establish his next heir, the crown prince. In the same way, the prince should prepare the country for the continuation of the next imperial power.
Only half a year, I asked Cheng Yujin if she was pregnant. Cheng Yujin is the same, presumably Li Chengjing is facing even more pressure. In particular, it is not a private matter for husband and wife. The prince has no sons and can be discussed as a major event in the court.
The birth of the child is really omnidirectional without dead ends, and now Cheng Yujin has a headache when he hears these words. She thought about it too, but such a pregnancy is not something she can plan.
Cheng Yujin thought that it would be the Chinese New Year in another month. By then, the Beijing City Banquet would be held one after another. Many elderly women were gathered together, and she was about to have children again.
It’s a headache just thinking about it.
Cheng Yujin didn’t want to think about these worrying things. The gift list had been read. She put her pens in order and sorted out the gift lists one by one. Halfway through, I heard palace people singing outside. With Cheng Yujin’s kung fu getting up, Li Chengjing had already walked in.
“Your Highness.”
Li Chengjing raised his hand and motioned to her. He was covered with a thick cloak, and there were still snow particles on it, which showed that the snow and snow were all the way down. Cheng Yujin stepped forward, patted the snow on Li Chengjing’s shoulder, untied the tie, undressed him, and turned to the court lady behind him.
Li Chengjing lifted off his heavy body. He took Cheng Yujin’s hand and led her inside: “The door is leaking. Your clothes are thin and don’t stand at the air outlet.”
Cheng Yujin followed his strength. While walking, she tried the temperature on the back of Li Chengjing’s hand with the other hand.
“Huh.” Li Chengjing nodded. “I met the Ministry of Defense Shangshu outside the Qianqing Palace, and I said a few more words.”
Cheng Yujin realized that it was Shangshu Shangshu. The maid had already put on hot tea at this time. Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing sat on the red sandalwood carved Luo Luohan bed. Cheng Yujin took an orange and peeled it and asked, “Your Highness is worried?”
Li Chengjing sighed softly. Sure enough, Cheng Yujin knew him best. After he came in, he just mentioned a sentence, and Cheng Yujin guessed it.
Li Chengjing said: “I was thinking about North Korea and China. I have been absent for too long. With the support of the Ministry of Industry, it is not enough.”
This is certainly not enough. Of the six ministry officials, the most expensive is the second, followed by the Hubei and the Ministry of Industry. Li Chengjing has indeed accumulated a reputation in the Ministry of Industry, but for the entire Chaotang, there is still no right to speak.
The cabinet is under the control of Yang Fucheng, and Li Chengjing cannot eat a fat one bite. He has to start with six departments, and then slowly win the support of other cabinet elders. However, the six Central Librarians were Yang Fucheng ’s base camp, and the Hubu was also firmly held by the Yang family. The Ritual Department was insignificant, and the Criminal Department was unoccupied.
However, he is a prince, and this identity is dependent on and shackled. As a prince, although he can justify his participation in politics, he also has many concerns in his actions, such as forming a party and running privately, such as recruiting horses and buying horses, which is a taboo.
Therefore, it is very difficult to make friends with the Ministry of Defense.
Cheng Yujin put down the orange peel and carefully picked the white orange network above. She was gentle and said, “Your Highness, you may wish to change the angle and follow it roundaboutly.”
“How to say?”
“It’s not easy to make friends with their courtiers and their wives. It’s always okay.”
Li Chengjing raised his eyebrows: “You mean …”
“Yes.” Cheng Yujin peeled an orange to his satisfaction and handed it to Li Chengjing, saying, “Although Yichun Houfu is not very competitive these years, at first, it was indeed a military merit. Hougui is different from Qingliu. Qingliu used the imperial examinations to obtain scholars, but the princes all made their fortunes by military merit. In these years, Yang Shoufu has vigorously promoted his own people, and he has elevated the old honors. It ’s not from the home of Shuxiang, it ’s already a statement. ”
Yang Fucheng was a literary minister. He made his fortune by the Empress Dowager Yang and occupied the position of first assistant. After many years, he also cultivated his own students. Of course, he responded to all the civil servants, but the military power was not at all.
The literati who were born in the imperial examination were afraid of him, but the soldiers who marched to fight were not necessarily.
Xungui’s house is a hereditary warfare from generation to generation. Of course, there are still few ancestors who still follow the path of the ancestors today, but the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the appeal of the old veterans is still strong in the army, such as Jingyong Hou Mansion. For example, Cai Guogong.
Out of selfishness, Cheng Yujin reluctantly hung up the Yichun Hou Mansion.
Huo Changyuan and Zhai Yanlin are still in charge of the military. Not to mention the sons of other princes who are active in the military. The background of Cheng Yujin’s birth as a noble is a natural advantage. One is the Yang family who has always been literary and restrained, and the other is the daughter of the Cheng family whose ancestors have had a life-long relationship.
The generals in power and the Ministry of Defense are inextricably linked, which can be used as a breakthrough to break the deadlock. Li Chengjing wants to make friends with the army, do not those honorables want to make a contribution to the dragon? It’s just that it’s not convenient for each other to be private, and it’s not convenient for each other to come forward. However, Li Chengjing and these courtiers were inconvenient, and there were no restrictions on the movement of the female relatives. Cheng Yujin, as the crown prince, made several servants and wives, and it was perfectly logical.
Not to mention, she is the first lady of Houfu in Yichun, and the social circle is already in the honor.
Li Chengjing was very transparent. He looked at Cheng Yujin with a surprise in his eyes: “Prince Princess awakened the dreamer with a word. It seems that in the future, I will rely on Princess Prince.”
“Don’t wear a high hat for me, I don’t believe you didn’t expect it.” Cheng Yujin held out his hand for a long time, seeing Li Chengjing didn’t mean it, and wondered, “Don’t you eat oranges?”
Li Chengjing is still sitting there with the old god: “Send the Buddha to the west, is it sincere for the princess to feed people?”
Even if someone wants to feed him, Cheng Yujin is too lazy to care for him, put it on the plate, and love to eat or not.
Li Chengjing sighed and picked himself up as if he were destined: “You really don’t talk about **** at all.”
“I’ve always been like this, did Prince Edward know it today?”
