It was very quiet in Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhang Baozhan stood aside tremblingly.
He now understands that he really misunderstood His Majesty's meaning. This is a taboo for the servants, especially Zhang Bao, who is the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, is also in charge of the Dongchang, and is also the correspondent between the Jin Yiwei and the emperor. hub between.
He had misunderstood, and if he didn't say anything, it would be self-defeating. Together with Xu Youzhen, they would create a big disturbance that shocked the court.
"Zhang Daban, why do you think I will kill Yu Qian?" Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die. I make my own decision and try to figure out the holy will." Zhang Bao knelt down as he spoke.
"My servants feel that these things are detrimental to His Majesty's reputation, so they dare not ask His Majesty what he means. Apart from my servants, Xu Youzhen, Li Xian, and even Commander Zhu Ji also have this suspicion in their minds."
Zhu Jianshen said softly: "Get up, Zhang Dayan. Killing a hero is indeed a stain for an emperor. I also want to understand. You, Xu Youzhen, Li Xian and others are all right. Yu Taibao has been here for a long time He is located in the center, assists in the affairs of the government, conducts himself in an open and honest manner, even though I have been sophistical about the banquet dispute, I know that I am not wrong in Taibao."
"His only fault is that he is too self-sufficient, too frank and frank, and he is too dedicated to the country and the people. If Yu Taibao also did something for himself, you will probably not have so many thoughts." Zhu Jianshen said softly. said.
The only way for a minister to protect himself is to make mistakes, especially for meritorious ministers. Otherwise, your reward will be over, and you will be dead.
Of course, this kind of thing is also decided according to the emperor. South Korean Gong Li Shanchang understood this very well, so he committed some crimes, but he met Zhu Yuanzhang, but regardless of your self-protection, he was just hacked...
Zhang Bao listened quietly to Zhu Jianshen's words.
"Zhang Daban, I believe you are doing it for my own good, but you are different from Xu Youzhen, Li Xian and others. The two of us should be of the same mind. If there is any trouble in the court in the future, you should report it directly to me, so that I won’t be caught off guard like I am today.”
Zhu Jianshen's words moved Zhang Bao secretly. Sure enough, Xu Youzhen was still far behind him.
I have watched His Majesty grow up. The relationship between the two of us cannot be replaced by Xu Youzhen.
Yes, although Zhang Bao never said it, his sense of Xu Youzhen was not very good, because Xu Youzhen's kneeling and licking made him feel threatened.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If there is anything against the Taibao in the future, I will report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible. I won't dare to hide it at all."
"No, everything must be reported to me truthfully..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Just as Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, a young eunuch walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother please come over."
Zhu Jianshen nodded, then stood up and walked into the Nuan Pavilion. Zhang Bao quickly followed.
Two palace ladies came forward and undressed Zhu Jianshen.
Then he took out a crimson robe and put it on.
When Zhu Jianshen was growing up, he had to change his regular robes and dragon robes frequently, but Zhu Jianshen did not want to spend so much money.
After seeking the permission of the Empress Dowager, she wore the clothes left by her father Zhu Qizhen. The reason was that the king was diligent and frugal, and his son inherited his father's legacy, including the clothes. biquge.biz
Many of the dragon robes and regular robes from the Zhu Qizhen period had never been worn before, so the Empress Dowager agreed.
This matter was also revealed by Zhang Bao under the instruction of Zhu Jianshen. The noble generals and senior officials of the six ministries also responded to praise His Majesty's frugality, and the dignitaries in the court also showed some frugality.
Xu Youzhen specially brought the clothes of her long-dead father from her hometown to the capital, so that she could wear them and entertain officials...
…………
Zhu Jianshen walked with wind, followed by Zhang Bao and dozens of young eunuchs.
He still had his hands behind his back and looked calm, as if he was still the child he was many years ago.
Zhu Jianshen's height is now at least 1.5 meters. He has also observed the length of his arms, asked about his father's height, and added the height of his mother, and concluded that he can grow to at least 1.65 meters, and even reach terrifying heights. 1.7 meters.
But now, although Zhu Jianshen is not tall, when he stands up, most of the eunuchs and maids have their heads lowered and their waists bent, and they always stand out from the crowd.
The majestic imperial robe, the jade belt tied around the waist, the hair in a very delicate bun, the resolute and handsome face, and the wise eyes made Zhu Jianshen the one with the highest bow rate in the Ming Dynasty Palace, because after seeing him , the palace maids and eunuchs all bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.
In the palace, Empress Dowager Sun was talking to the old maid beside her.
Smiled from time to time.
Wan Zhen'er, who was listening to the old palace maid's words, blushed and lowered her head.
While talking.
Zhu Jianshen entered the palace.
But when he saw the palace maid, he was stunned for a moment, wondering why he had never seen this face before, and then turned his head and glanced at Wan Zhen'er.
Beautiful again, and a little bigger.
Seeing Zhu Jianshen come in, the old palace maid and Wan Zhen'er in the palace hurriedly saluted him. Zhu Jianshen didn't say anything, just waved his hands slightly, and then walked to Grandma Huang: "My grandson greets Grandma Huang."
"Your Majesty, come and sit."
"Yes, Grandma Huang." After saying this, Zhu Jianshen took two steps forward and sat next to Empress Dowager Sun.
Empress Dowager Sun has been looking at Zhu Jianshen.
He looks more and more like her son, but he is much more reliable than his own son.
In fact, Empress Dowager Sun was regarded as the Demon Queen in history because of her lack of planning, decision-making, and inaction, coupled with Zhu Zhanji's preference. In fact, most of the title of the Demon Queen was given by Zhu Qizhen. Brought by mother.
"Your Majesty, state affairs have been very heavy these days."
"It's not serious, Grandma Huang, you look better again." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.
Although Zhu Jianshen's biological mother, Concubine Zhou Guifei, was very kind to Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen only showed his naughty side in front of the Empress Dowager Sun. It is possible that he had been pretending too much since childhood and could not change it for a while.
Empress Dowager Sun smiled: "Your Majesty, Zhang Baoke has told you about the draft."
"Grandma Huang, Zhang Bao told his grandson."
"Well, originally, it was planned to start the draft in the middle of the ninth year of Chenghua, but Grandma Huang felt that she was too anxious, so she thought of making preparations first and completing the preparations at the end of the ninth year of Chenghua. Chenghua Ten years later, the draft begins, and eleven years after Chenghua, we get married."
Zhu Jianshen listened and nodded blankly. He got married in the eleventh year of Chenghua and he was not yet fifteen years old.
"Grandma Huang, is there something..." Zhu Jianshen was too early to say anything, and was interrupted by Empress Dowager Sun with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's not too late. Your father ascended the throne when he was nine years old, and he got married in the orthodox seven years. Now that you are sixteen, Grandma Huang will arrange for you to get married at the age of fifteen. Any earlier will not be appropriate. ”
The reason why Empress Dowager Sun wanted Zhu Jianshen to get married earlier than his father was because she wanted to have a great grandson and raise her great grandson herself. Wouldn't it be nice to be raising a great grandson?
Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Why not, just like my father, my grandson will also get married at the age of sixteen. He will start preparing for the draft in the eleventh year of Chenghua, and he will get married again in the twelfth year of Chenghua."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Empress Dowager Sun was a little surprised.
Because Zhu Jianshen often peeked at Wan Zhen'er when he was in her palace, which made the Empress Dowager Sun feel that her grandson was already interested in women. She immediately asked the maids and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace, and also learned about Zhu Jianshen's personal relationship. Regarding these things, I was sure right away that my grandson had grown up, but now he wanted to push it back.
Empress Dowager Sun looked at Zhu Jianshen, only to find that Zhu Jianshen was still glancing at Wan Zhen'er beside him from time to time. He just chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, becoming an adult is also the first step to becoming an emperor. You Even though Grandma Huang looks good, she is getting old after all. After taking care of this matter for His Majesty early, and seeing His Majesty have an heir, Grandma Huang has fulfilled her wish."
Probably shy.
But Zhu Jianshen was thinking: It's too early.
Although Emperor Kangxi had a child at the age of thirteen, performed human affairs, and lived to that age, it was just an accident.
Zhu Jianshen didn't dare to take risks. After the first time, there was a second time, and the second time, the third time, and the fourth time followed one after another.
The bones in my body can't bear it.
"Grandma Huang, why don't we push it back one year. At this time, I want to learn how to govern the country from Yu Taibao, Li Xian, Xu Youzhen and others. If I get married too early, I'm afraid it will be delayed, and I still feel that it is inappropriate for me to be over the age of my father's wedding, but Grandma Huang is in good health, so don't say these unlucky words. My grandson will feel uncomfortable hearing this." Zhu Jianshen thought for a while, and then said.
Whether he wanted to get married or not, of course he did, but for the sake of his own longevity, he could only endure it. After the wedding, firstly, he couldn't help it, and secondly, he also had the important political task of adding children.
Empress Dowager Sun looked at Wan Zhen'er who was standing aside, and then at the old palace maid.
Somewhat dumbfounded.
Originally, Empress Dowager Sun wanted the old palace maid to take Wan Zhen'er to give advice on Zhu Jianshen's relationship with men and women, but now it seems that there is no need...
Listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Wan Zhen'er was also a little disappointed. I don't know why this spot fell to me. I think it was because His Majesty often peeked at her when he came to the palace and was discovered by the Empress Dowager. But now His Majesty has declined. If he gets married, then he will lose this precious opportunity...
As for the Empress Dowager Sun, how could she be angry if her grandson had the determination to suppress his selfish desires and strive to be like a wise monarch?
"If Your Majesty thinks it should be postponed for a year, Grandma Huang will agree to it."
"Thank you, Grandma Huang..."
