April Yimao (sixteenth) of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
The Empress Dowager's birthday on the 16th of July was decreed to be the Kuncheng Festival. Someone requested that the Empress Dowager's birthday be celebrated as a holy festival. The Empress Dowager respectfully declined and said: "My aunt is in the hall, don't dare to overstep your bounds!"
Zhang Maoze, the envoy of Yanfu Palace, the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the observation envoy of Lizhou, specially ordered to stay behind for the Ningguo army.
The envoy of Zhaoxuan, the imperial guard of the province of Neishi, Yongchen of the Song Dynasty; the deputy governor of the province of internal servants, Liang Weijian of the Royal Pharmacy Academy, and the secretary of the Neidongmen Division.
Shi Deyi, the vice-president of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was involved in the affairs of the Imperial City Company, and Liu Weijian was in charge of the imperial medicine hospital.
Feng Jing, the only person in the emperor's palace, was given the privilege of carrying royal utensils and serving as the royal cook.
The Empress Dowager's Palace is dedicated to strict guarding and Qin, and is specially awarded with imperial equipment. It is specially transferred out, and the east head is dedicated to officials to promote the water mill service in Bianjing.
Liang was engaged in politics with imperial equipment and activities in the Imperial Medicine Academy, and also served as a minister in the Empress Dowager's Palace.
After this series of personnel arrangements, the situation in Ouchi Imperial City changed.
For Zhao Xu, the most important thing is that Feng Jing acted as the imperial chef and Shi Deyi and Liu Weijian acted as the imperial medicine hospital.
Why?
One is in charge of the cook, and two are in charge of the medicine.
Personal health and food safety are guaranteed!
The rest, to Zhao Xu, are actually small details.
Therefore, when Shi Deyi and others came to thank him, Zhao Xu did not forget to ask them to be loyal to their duties and not to slack off.
…
That night, when Zhao Xu was about to fall asleep, Queen Mother Xiang came to Funing Palace.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?" Zhao Xu quickly stepped forward to greet her and asked.
"But there is something I need to tell Sixth Brother..." After the Queen Mother sat down, she said, "Liu Weijian just came to report, and Chen Meiren left with Emperor Daxing just now..."
"Still not persuaded?" Zhao Xu sighed.
"Alas..." Xiang Dowager sighed and said: "Liu Wei simply said that although the beauty Chen was persuaded by everyone in the harem, she also started to drink water and rice, but she still didn't think about it, and she started not eating or drinking in the past few days. , without saying a word...just now he finally left with Emperor Daxing..."
Zhao Xu lowered his head and said, "Let's bury him with him!"
The Queen Mother also sighed: "This is the only way!"
"What should I do if it's the Suining County Prince?"
"Let's choose a wet nurse for the emperor's younger brother in the palace... and see if any of the childless father's and imperial concubines are willing to adopt..."
"Concubine Xing Shu is willing to raise her..." Queen Mother Xiang looked at Zhao Xu and said, "What do you think, Brother Six?"
Concubine Xing Shu was the concubine that Zhao Xu’s father once loved.
Zhao Xu's father gave birth to four princes, two of whom were older than Zhao Xu.
Unfortunately, none of them survived to adulthood. The eldest prince died when he was just over three years old.
"Everything must be arranged by the queen!" Zhao Xu sighed.
"That's all it can do!"
After walking towards the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu sat on the edge of the royal bed. His eyes looked at the vermilion screens, curtains, pillars and window sills in Funing Hall, which always felt very dazzling.
But wanting to replace or even renovate the entire Funing Hall is not something that can be done in a short while.
Because he is observing filial piety!
Not changing your father's ways for three years is the moral standard of Confucianism!
He is the emperor and must lead by example.
Otherwise, it would be like handing Sima Guang a knife, which is the best excuse.
"We can only ask Feng Jing to control the food safety..." Zhao Xu whispered: "We can only go out to the garden at the back of the palace to get some fresh air as much as possible, and stay in a closed space as little as possible..."
…
On the morning of April Gengchen (seventeenth day) in the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
On the official road west of Bianjing City, a group of warriors on horseback galloped from the west.
The caravans and passers-by along the way avoided the route one after another, and then people were surprised to find that these warriors were riding war horses, and the murderous intent on their bodies was even more frightening.
"Where did the soldiers and horses come from?" People were surprised and uncertain.
Then, everyone soon discovered that those warriors were just the pioneers who opened the way.
Because behind these warriors, there was a group of generals holding flags.
Flags and signs, facing the sun on the road, make people's breath stop.
Even though the people of Bianjing were well-informed, they were still shocked by the official positions and missions on these flags.
Introduction envoys, envoys from all directions, envoys from the imperial city...
People who are familiar with the official system of the country immediately took a breath of cold air: "They are all flags of chief and deputy envoys and above..."
"Which commander along the border led his troops back to pay homage to the Holy Spirit?"
So, his eyes looked towards the flag at the front.
Gyeongbokgung Palace envoy?
Minister?
Will Wu Xinjun stay behind? ! !
It's him!
The man immediately said: "It's Lieutenant Li from Xihe Road who has returned to the court!"
Sure enough, a flag passed in front of him.
The strategy of Xihe Lanhui Road is to appease the envoys!
It is indeed Li Xian who has returned to the court!
As a result, the eyes of passers-by and merchants on both sides of the road changed.
Since the defeat of Yongle City, among the generals along the border, Li Xian's Xihe Road has won the most battles and gained the most!
After the Fifth Battle of Lanzhou last year, news came from the country of the Western Bandits.
Liang Yi, the Prime Minister of the Western Bandit State, died of vomiting blood due to five defeats in five battles at Lanzhou.
There are even legends that even Bingchang, the leader of the Western Bandit Kingdom, was shot by a stray arrow at the foot of Lanzhou City.
As a result, Li Xian's status in people's hearts changed.
At least in the eyes of the general public, Li Xian was a God of War figure in the Song Dynasty, and another famous commander like the old Qin Taiwei.
The old Lieutenant Qin was Qin Han.
During the Taizong and Zhenmiao eras, it was the pillar of the northwest of the Song Dynasty.
Although he is a minister, he is brave and invincible. He has suffered dozens of wounds and still leads his troops to fight vigorously.
While he was alive, Western thieves, let alone invaders, could no longer be invaded.
He didn't even dare to provoke. Those who were beaten by him could only send envoys to beg for mercy.
And Li Xian guarded Xihe, expanded thousands of miles of territory, fought five battles in Lanzhou, and fought in Dingxi. In just a few years, he beheaded more than 100,000 people!
To most people, this is another old Lieutenant Qin!
Of course, some scholar-officials don’t think so!
"snort!"
"Eunuch!" Some scholars cursed in a low voice.
…
Funing Hall.
Zhao Xu was looking at the memorials and handwriting left by his father.
Feng Jing was outside the curtain, respectfully reporting: "Everyone, the military commander has just handed over the name list of the commander-in-chief's appointment..."
"The Empress Dowager ordered me to present it to everyone..."
Zhao Xu put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "Is it Li Xian who has returned to the court?"
"yes!"
"Why so slow?" Zhao Xu asked again.
"To report back to everyone, it is said that the road was blocked by flash floods many times, so we had to take a detour, so it has been delayed until now..." Feng Jing answered honestly.
"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded: "Bring it in!"
So Feng Jing placed a list in front of Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu took it over and looked at it, and raised his lips slightly.
The first one on the list is naturally the name of Li Xian, the minister whom Zhao Xu's father trusted the most and had the most heroic military exploits during his lifetime.
Then, there is Wang Wenyu, Li Xian's number one general.
Then there are the names of generals with great military exploits such as Miao Lu and Li Hao.
Among these people, Zhao Xu also saw the name of Qin Gui, the fifth deputy general of Xihe Road who stood firm in Dingxi City last year.
In addition, we also saw brothers Zhao Sizhong and Zhao Chunzhong.
And brothers Bao Shun and Bao Yue...
Looking at these familiar names, Zhao Xu smiled.
It's a bit stuck, so I delayed updating until now!
Well, it looks like I have a cute master, thank you!
Must be updated!
Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow!
Today, let’s take a rest and sort out my thoughts, so there will only be 3 updates.
Then there will probably be 3,500 monthly tickets tomorrow, so there will be about 5 updates.
