"Sister, go and ask the Emperor to come over."
In the Kyoto Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Flower Palace, His Royal Highness Prince Daimei Ning, who had just finished washing and was supposed to be sleeping on the tatami, suddenly stopped an elderly female official and asked her to invite Emperor Xingzi.
The female officer was stunned for a moment, looking very embarrassed at the pitch-black sky outside. Then she said to Zhu Cijiong in a very strange tone: "Your Majesty, it's not early now. Please go to bed early so that you can see His Majesty the Emperor again tomorrow." ..."
"Why wait until tomorrow?" Zhu Cijiong's face darkened, "I want to see her now... Isn't she Gu's wife? How can she not come when my husband calls me?"
The female official really didn't know what to say. The wedding between Emperor Xingzi and the Prince of Ming Dynasty hadn't been held yet. How could he summon her late at night? This is not etiquette!
"Your Highness," the female officer said with a troubled expression, "I am afraid that it would be inappropriate to meet at this time, so please bear with me for a few days..."
"Baga!" Zhu Cijiong opened his mouth and cursed, "I ask you to invite me, so go and invite me!"
Seeing that Zhu Cijiong was angry, the female official had no choice but to go to the Imperial Palace to inform Emperor Xingzi - the Emperor had actually taken care of it. Whatever requests His Highness Prince Ning had, he had to satisfy them as much as possible... However, she did not expect that the request of Prince Ning of the Great Ming Dynasty was actually her.
When the female officer sent by Prince Ning Zhu Cijiong arrived outside the dormitory of Yuchang Palace, the emperor was already sitting there alone in a daze, with Zhu Cijiong's heroic appearance in his mind.
Although this Prince of Ming Dynasty is young, he is taller than every adult man the emperor knows. He also has handsome features and noble temperament. Emperor Koiko is fascinated by every word he speaks...seriously. , she couldn't wait to see Zhu Cijiong again.
"Your Majesty, Prince Daming Ning..."
The voice of the female officer interrupted the emperor's thoughts.
"Prince Ning, what's wrong with him?" Seeing the female official hesitate to speak, the emperor became a little nervous. Could it be that he was ill? The sashimi used in today's banquet doesn't seem to be very fresh. Isn't it possible to have diarrhea after eating it?
"He...he asked you to come over and meet him."
"Oh..." Xingzi didn't think anything was wrong. He immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and was about to go out.
The female officer quickly stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go!"
"Nani?" The Emperor looked at the female official in surprise, "Didn't you come to invite me to meet Prince Ning?"
The female officer shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, it is not etiquette to go and see each other now."
"What is etiquette?" The emperor's face darkened, "The husband calls but the wife does not go, this is not etiquette!"
The female official explained: "But you haven't married Prince Ning of Ming Dynasty yet!"
"Isn't the marriage consummating now?" Emperor Koiko said solemnly, "The six marriage rites of acceptance, name recognition, acceptance, acceptance, and application period have been completed, and most of the welcoming ceremony has also been completed. ...Why can’t Prince Ning treat me as his wife?”
It seems like this...the marriage is over five-sixths of the way done, and there is still just a tiny bit left to finish. There's nothing wrong with Zhu Cijiong asking Emperor Xingzi to go over and accompany him, right?
The female officer always felt that something was wrong and wanted to say a few more words, but Emperor Xingzi rushed to speak very unhappy: "Then why do you think Prince Ning came all the way? Isn't it just to do good things with me? Ning Your Majesty, in order for me to not be afraid of strong winds and high waves on the sea, and not to be afraid of the long journey thousands of miles away, why can’t I cross only one corridor?”
After saying this, Emperor Xingzi stopped talking nonsense with the female official and went straight out of the opened door to the Royal Flower Palace where Zhu Cijiong lived.
Several female officers looked at each other inside and outside the room, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to chase after them in a hurry...
When such a large group of women arrived at the Royal Flower Palace where Zhu Cijiong was resting, Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty was also stunned - he just wanted to see the emperor's sister, why did so many people come? There seems to be no emperor among them!
"Where is His Majesty the Emperor's...?" Zhu Cijiong looked at a group of women and asked in fluent but very non-standard Japanese.
"Hai!" Xingzi responded and went over. When he arrived in front of Zhu Cijiong, he knelt down and knelt down, and asked with a smile: "Xingzi is here, why has the king summoned you?"
"Nani?" Zhu Cijiong stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.
It looks a bit like the Emperor in Tang Suit, but he shouldn't be the same person! The eyes are a little smaller, the mouth is a little bigger, and the skin is not that white... The one I saw during the day is even whiter than Silly Baitian (Wu Sanmei)! Is it a lighting problem?
Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong stood up suddenly, walked to the side, picked up the illuminated candle, and came to the emperor.
The emperor was also confused. He looked at Zhu Cijiong blankly and said in his heart: What do you want to do?
Zhu Cijiong looked again by the light of the candle, and finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was really the emperor.
"You are so cheerful..."
"Yes, the little girl is Xingzi." The emperor was relieved when he saw the candle was taken away.
Zhu Cijiong said again: "Why do you look uglier at night than during the day?"
That’s right, just take off your makeup!
However, Emperor Koiko didn't seem to know this, and he looked confused, "Really? Maybe it's because he looks bad after a hard day's work, so he doesn't look good."
"That's right..." Zhu Cijiong actually believed it. He had no experience!
This matter must be blamed on Chongzhen, who had to support the princes in poverty and spend his time training the princes' confidence. As a result, Zhu Cijiong, who has been trained for a long time, does not know the subtleties and magic of makeup at all...
"It's good if you are the emperor..." Zhu Cijiong was finally happy. In fact, he was not very picky - he was raised poor and did not have the eye-catching twelve golden hairpins to accompany him, so he "became ugly." "The emperor is not bad in his opinion.
"You all stand down," Zhu Cijiong said, "His Majesty the Emperor and I have something to say."
The Emperor glanced at the group of female officers following her.
Be sensible and retreat!
Seeing everyone retreating, the emperor's face turned red and he looked at Zhu Cijiong shyly.
"Why is your face so red?" Zhu Cijiong asked again when he realized something was wrong.
Emperor Xingzi was dumbfounded by Zhu Cijiong's question, so he had to say: "I drank a little wine just now."
This is drinking too much... not feeling refreshed.
"Can we still talk about things?" Zhu Cijiong asked. He obviously had something to say.
"Yes, what does the king want to say?" Xingzi was a little disappointed.
"Oh, it's like this," Zhu Cijiong said, "My father looked at the sky at night and found that the Eastern General Star was dim and the Emperor Star was shining, which means that the Japanese emperor will prosper and the shogunate will decline!"
"Na, nani..." Emperor Xingzi didn't even know what to say. It's such a wonderful time. Is this what you want me to say? That's not right, the empire is about to rise and the shogunate is about to decline... What on earth do you want to do?
"My father believes that the prosperity of Japan's empire will be yours, so he arranged for me to marry you!" Zhu Cijiong asked, "Xingzi, are you willing to conspire with me on big things?"
"That, that's a rebellion!" Xingzi's voice trembled a little as he spoke.
"Rebellion?" Zhu Cijiong was stunned, "Xingzi, you are the emperor! Opposing you is a rebellion!"
"This is Japan..." Emperor Koiko said, "In Japan there is talk of imperial rebellion..."
"Rebellion?" Zhu Cijiong didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"It means the emperor's rebellion..." Emperor Koiko said, "In the history of Japan, there were two imperial rebellions with great influence. One was Emperor Gotoba's rebellion against the Kamakura shogunate and Hojo. The other was the rebellion of Emperor Go-Daigo who rebelled against the Kamakura shogunate and took over the power of the Hojo family..."
Zhu Cijiong nodded heavily: "I know about this rebellion. The Chengjiu Rebellion failed miserably, and the Masanaka Rebellion finally overthrew the Kamakura shogunate."
Emperor Koiko shook his head, "But the power of the world still fell into the hands of the Muromachi Shogunate."
Zhu Cijiong laughed and said: "That's because there is no emperor's husband like me involved... Xingzi, with my support, you can definitely revitalize the Japanese empire! Xingzi, do you want to do it?"
