The snow in Beijing is very heavy today, maybe it’s snow for the good weather in the new year.
Although the snow was heavy, not all the rivers outside the capital were frozen. Only the water near the shore was frozen, and no ice was seen in the middle.
If you look closely, you can see pieces of ice drifting intermittently from upstream.
These ice cubes gradually melted into the river water under the wash of the river water.
Look, in such a cold day, there are merchants transporting goods in boats on the rivers.
Most of them were wearing raincoats and holding the oars tightly with their hands.
The coir raincoat is already covered with a layer of snow, and my hands are extremely red because of the cold weather.
With such a bad weather, who wouldn’t want to stay at home and warm up over the charcoal fire?
They all want to get more money before the New Year Festival, and strive to have a good New Year.
There is a scene of white snow on the ground and tree branches inside and outside the capital.
People can be seen coming and going on every street in the city.
On such a cold day, the beggars were not lazy. They took a bowl and huddled on the roadside. When they met someone who was dressed appropriately, they would cry out pitifully.
Unconsciously, it is now the end of the seventeenth year of Dechang.
The current emperor Chen Ziyuan is also just seventeen years old.
The seventeen-year-old emperor Chen Ziyuan stayed in the palace all day long, with only the eunuch Cen Da as his companion and no other acquaintances.
In addition, the emperor himself was a high and powerful person, so no matter how good the relationship was with the emperor Chen Ziyuan, eunuchs or acquaintances would not dare to speak out and would carefully avoid certain things.
Since taking the throne, officials have mentioned the matter of establishing a queen every day in court meetings.
However, in the past few months, the voices for establishing a queen have become louder and louder.
It was these sounds that left seventeen-year-old Chen Ziyuan at a loss.
As soon as the court becomes quiet, officials will begin to mention the matter of establishing a queen.
"emperor."
Look, the court had just been quiet for a moment when an official stood up.
Just by hearing this voice, without even looking at the person, Emperor Chen Ziyuan could guess what he wanted to say even without listening to his words behind him.
Seeing that Emperor Chen Ziyuan was sitting on the stage and was silent, the official boldly spoke out:
"Your Majesty, you are seventeen today."
"In a few days, it will be the first year of Yongchang, and it's time to establish a queen."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyuan, who was only seventeen years old, looked at Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, with an immature look.
In this court, for the seventeen-year-old Chen Ziyuan, he was the only one he could trust the most.
In this relationship, he is his grandfather.
Seeing Chen Ziyuan's eyes directed towards him, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, knew what he wanted to say without having to think too much.
This time, the left prime minister spoke according to his own ideas and the unanimous opinions of the officials:
"emperor."
"You are seventeen now, so you are not young."
"In a few days, it will be the first year of Yongchang. You must have a good start at this beginning."
"This is not only your business, it is also the world's business."
"I think it's time to establish a queen."
After hearing what his grandfather said, Chen Ziyuan suddenly felt that his heart was beating a little fast.
Regarding his own marriage, he had only seen others before, but now it was his turn. Who wouldn't be excited or nervous about it?
When an official mentioned this matter before, Chen Ziyuan didn't pay much attention to it. That was because he was busy and he had no plan.
Since my most trusted grandfather has said so, it is better to listen to the elders on some things.
For Chen Ziyuan, this is what he thinks.
Before he could say anything, these officials couldn't wait any longer.
Some officials seemed to have a tacit understanding and suddenly knelt down and shouted:
"Your Majesty, please stand up as soon as possible!"
This action and these words caused the other standing officials to kneel down one after another. Even the two prime ministers knelt down and shouted together:
"Your Majesty, please stand up as soon as possible!"
Hearing this shout, and then hearing the two prime ministers shouting together, Chen Ziyuan felt a little nervous.
After all, he is only seventeen years old, and he has been the emperor for less than a year, so he must be a little nervous.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyuan said:
"I will consider this matter carefully in the next few days, so I won't bother you all to persuade you."
"Dear ladies, please get up."
Hearing the emperor's words, the officials who first proposed this idea all had smiles on their faces. As for their purpose, I don't know.
After the court meeting, Emperor Chen Ziyuan sat on the dragon chair in the Yongshou Hall.
He is different today.
I saw that Chen Ziyuan was holding a comb in his hand.
He kept looking at the comb. He didn't say a word for a long time, and he wasn't busy with anything.
"emperor."
"Are you... okay?"
Seeing this, the eunuch Cen Da took the liberty to ask.
Although this was not the first time he had seen this scene, eunuch Cen Da felt very uncomfortable every time he saw him like this.
For this reason, Chen Ziyuan is a few years older than eunuch Cen Da; secondly, eunuch Cen Da is also considered a kind-hearted person.
Listening to the eunuch Cen Da's words, Chen Ziyuan just stepped out of the comb and looked at the eunuch Cen Da beside him.
Chen Ziyuan shook his head slightly: "It's okay."
Then, he asked the eunuch Cen Da:
"Eunuch Cen, have you ever had anything on your mind?"
"Or, has there been anything unforgettable?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch Cen Da hesitated for a long time.
Cen Da shook his head:
"If you say it is, it is true, but if you say it is not, it is not."
"This slave has been poor since she was a child. Her parents could not give her any more food. They sold her into this palace and she is where she is today."
"However, having the Emperor as your companion is a blessing that I cannot ask for in my lifetime."
Listening to Cen Da's words and looking at Cen Da's face, it seemed that he no longer cared about those things.
Chen Ziyuan's eyes turned to the comb in his hand again, and his slender fingers carefully touched the comb.
Looking at this comb, it seems that it has not changed much from a few years ago, and there are no signs of damage, but its luster has lost a bit.
The eunuch Cen Da standing by looked at the emperor's behavior. After hesitating for a long time, he boldly asked:
"emperor."
"Is there anything you can't forget?"
Chen Ziyuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at Cen Da, and then looked directly at the wall in front of him:
"I guess so."
"Maybe she already has her own life."
After saying that, Chen Ziyuan glanced at the comb in his hand, then put it aside on the table and looked at the eunuch Cen Da:
"How are Han Muxin and the others doing lately?"
Eunuch Cen Da nodded:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"They are living a good life. They have no worries about food and clothing."
Emperor: "That's good."
After thinking for a long time, Chen Ziyuan once again asked the eunuch Cen Dalai at the side:
"Um... has there been any progress in Dali Temple regarding the Han Mansion case?"
Eunuch Cen Da nodded: "I have inquired, and the case should be made public in the next few days."
"That's good." Emperor Chen Ziyuan said and stopped asking any more questions.
I saw him picking up the imperial pen beside him and continuing to read these memorials.
The Prime Minister's Office knows that His Majesty is young now, so although most matters are handed over to him, these matters are all accompanied by small notes in the memorial.
On the note were mainly suggestions.
Knowing that the emperor was young and did not have much confidence in many state affairs, and the Prime Minister's Office did not want to make most of the decisions alone to avoid being gossiped about, this was why he had no choice but to do this.
Among them, we can also see the respect and loyalty of the Prime Minister's Office to the emperor, and even more clearly their intentions.
