It rained and the weather finally got cooler. The mood of the cabinet ministers also relaxed a lot.
Early in the morning, everyone roughly read through the latest approval sent by Ganquan Palace. Some were happy and some were sad.
Xu Youzhen got the opportunity to serve at the sutra banquet for the first time. She was so happy that she secretly determined to show off her skills at the sutra banquet.
Chen Xunze frowned and carefully looked through the emperor's new arrangements for Chonghua Palace and Yinghua Palace: The emperor reasoned that the concubine Ru of Xuanmiao lived in Yinghua Palace, which was too far away from Shangshan Supervisor and could not eat hot meals. Therefore, a small kitchen was set up in the west wing rooms outside Yinghua Hall, specifically for the food of the concubines of Xuanmiao.
Looking left and right, Chen Xun couldn't understand what the operation was.
Chen Xun asked everyone about the imperial edict, but everyone shook their heads in confusion. Even Huang Pu said he really couldn't understand it.
But the emperor's treatment of Chonghua Palace and Ciqing Palace is even more interesting: seven of the emperor's women were canonized as concubines at the same time, and the concubines among them were sent to Ciqing Palace to take care of the prince.
At the same time, the concubine can also take the prince to Chonghua Palace to pay his respects at any time.
Wei Ji smiled at the side and said: "The Holy One is benevolent and the brothers are respectful. This is a good thing. Don't think so much. Since the Holy One is right, let's quickly draft the edict and then go to Ciqing Palace to greet the prince.
Not long after, the edict was drafted and sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The Supervisor of Ceremonies did not hesitate, and quickly used the good seal to send Shu Liang to Chonghua Palace to deliver the decree.
Shu Liang walked into Chonghua Palace and was shocked when he saw the palace officials building a fence in the front yard.
Shu Liang called a young eunuch and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
The young eunuch replied: "My father-in-law, Your Majesty has ordered that the front side room be surrounded into a small courtyard, and the queen, Concubine Chen, and Concubine Ling can live in the small courtyard. They are not allowed to leave the hospital without your Majesty's summons."
"Then why didn't you report it to the internal officials and order them to build the palace wall?"
"Your Majesty felt that he could not control the inner court, so he did not ask anyone to ask."
Shu Liang nodded and went in to convey the order.
When Zhu Qizhen heard this decree, he shook his head and asked: "The arrangement of the Holy Emperor is very appropriate, but can a concubine be replaced to take care of the prince?"
Shu Liang shook his head: "Your Majesty's golden words cannot be tampered with. Please forgive me."
Zhu Qizhen heard this and no longer asked for trouble.
Shu Liangli waited for Concubine Cheng to pack her things and left Chonghua Palace with her in person.
After Concubine Cheng had met the prince and settled him in Ciqing Palace, Shu Liang went to the cabinet to summon the ministers.
The cabinet ministers were summoned and immediately set off for Ciqing Palace.
Shu Liang and Wang Wen walked to the front together. Wang Wen asked with a smile: "Did Shu Gong's trip to Shanxi go well?"
Shu Liang shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, it's hard work. That place in Xuan Mansion, hey, a needle can't penetrate, and water can't pour through. The emperor had to transfer me back to be responsible for rebuilding the East Factory."
However, I would like to remind the Grand Master that you should not find me annoying. It is better not to go to see the Crown Prince in the future without asking for approval from the Holy Master. "
Wang Wen nodded: "This is natural, this is natural."
So the group of people entered Ciqing Palace and met with the prince. After confirming that the prince was fine, they only expressed a few words of condolences, and then they all said goodbye and left.
On the way back, the cabinet ministers divided into several groups, distanced themselves, and talked in low voices.
Chen Xun took Wang Wen and told him: "Qianzhi, the mutiny is officially over when things are done here. The cruel concubine of Xuanmiao has been tightly imprisoned and is completely unable to turn over.
Emperor Gongrang barely kept his throne. Unless something unexpected happened in the future, he would never be able to leave Chonghua Palace again.
The Holy Emperor sent a concubine to take care of the prince, which implicitly meant that the prince would be the prince in the future. The people in Ciqing Palace didn't even bother to cover up their indifferent attitude towards the prince.
Even the people in the palace can see that the prince must be deposed. Hey, my errand has been completed, and I will submit a letter to resign again today. We will hand it over in a few days, and then I will leave for my hometown. "
Wang Wen sighed: "Is there really no room for maneuver? Do you want me to write another letter to make peace with the Holy Emperor on your behalf?"
Chen Xun shook his head: "I accept your wishes, but there is no need to humiliate myself anymore. The Holy One is willing to spare my life because I already care about my old relationship.
If you continue to insist on not recognizing promotion, it will bring disaster to your descendants.
Next, the situation in the DPRK will probably be even more turbulent, and you will have to walk on thin ice. "
Wang Wen nodded.
The ministers returned to the cabinet room and began to study the contents of the feast.
The content of the Sutra Banquet is not about the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucius, Mencius, Chengzhu.
The importance of the Sutra Banquet was that it was an occasion for the emperor and ministers to discuss various aspects of government affairs on the pretext of lectures.
In the past, banquets were a fixed form of political discussion between monarchs and ministers, while traditional court meetings were purely used to waste everyone's time.
Although today’s holy emperors like to hold small pilgrimages, sutra feasts are still meaningful.
According to the unspoken rules, the minister with the highest rank and seniority among the ten ministers designated by the emperor should be the speaker.
But Wang Wen chose to be humble and gave the opportunity to Xu Youzhen.
Because it is difficult to be the first to take the lead, Wang Wen has already locked up the position of first assistant and does not want to rush forward like that.
However, it was almost noon when Zhu Qiyu and his beloved concubines came to Qingyun Pavilion to wait.
Under the guidance of the young eunuch, Nian Fu entered Ganquan Palace and walked slowly towards Qingyun Pavilion.
When he reached Guanxin Pavilion, Nianfu stopped and looked at Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. The sky is full of pink flowers and green leaves, the mountains and rivers are so picturesque, and the scenery is so good that people just take one look at it and want to sit here without moving.
Looking at the three words "Guanxin Pavilion" on the plaque again, Nian Fu asked curiously: "Guanxin Pavilion, observing the scenery to cultivate the mind, is a good name, but why doesn't this word look like it was written by a man?"
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Everyone who comes here for the first time asks this question. This pavilion and waterside pavilion was designed by our empress Jade Concubine, and the three words 'Guanxin Pavilion' on this plaque were personally designed by our empress Xiang Concubine." question.
The two empresses look exactly the same and are now in Qingyun Pavilion. After a while, you will look at the wrists of the two empresses. The one wearing the jasper bracelet is the Jade Concubine, and the one wearing the ruby bracelet is the Xiangfei Empress. "
Nian Fu suddenly realized: "It turns out it's these two empresses. I have admired them for a long time. No wonder they are so clever."
Nian Fu walked around slowly on purpose, and gained a general understanding of the emperor's temperament and preferences.
When he came to the pavilion, Nian Fu paid a grand ceremony. Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I love you, I have admired you for a long time. I knew you were upright and honest. I am very relieved to see you today."
Nian Fu replied: "The Holy Lord loves me so much that I am so flattered by it. It's just a matter of being loyal to the King and eating the King's salary. I don't dare to be praised by the Holy Lord like this."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "It's easy to say, but there are very few people who can live up to the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor."
After the two were polite, they got down to business.
Zhu Qiyu was the first to say: "I am about to deny the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty. What does Aiqing think?"
"Reject the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty?"
Nian Fu was surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor would use this as an entry point.
Zhu Qiyu explained: "It denies that the Yuan Dynasty is the orthodox dynasty of China, and denies the theory that Taizu's palace is prosperous and blessed."
After thinking quickly, Nian Fu replied: "My great-grandfather was indeed an official in the Yuan Dynasty, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu. He led troops to garrison in Chuyang, and later died at the hands of the rebels.
However, Wei Chen firmly supported the Holy Spirit in denying that the Yuan Dynasty was the orthodox Chinese dynasty, and that the Yuan Dynasty was a Han people's world.
I believe that the rules set by the Song Dynasty should be followed. Only the Han people occupying the Central Plains can be considered orthodox. Even if the Hu people occupied the Central Plains, they would still be barbarians. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded, feeling secretly in his heart: Why do I always feel that something is wrong? Only now did I realize that the famous Nian Gengyao came from the Nianfu family.
He was a high-ranking official in the Yuan Dynasty and also a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty. It turned out that this family was a habitual offender.
