"The Ai family hopes that you will be well educated, help Ah Rui grow up, and be a good emperor. From now on, the Ai family will enjoy happiness in this Shoukang Palace."

As the Empress Dowager Duan said, she couldn't help smiling: "We, A Rui, are a little beauty. In the future, we will accept the Empress and give birth to Lin'er. I don't know how much we will be loved by others!"

Jing Yan laughed along with him.She was waiting for Empress Dowager Duan to rest on the couch, but she thought in her mind: Wuyou has such a naughty temper, I really don't know what the future Empress Dowager will look like.

Empress Dowager Duan sighed: "That child Shi Ran, the Ai family wants to adopt him as a foster son, what do you think?"

Jing Yan paused, "If the queen mother likes it, she can accept it."

Empress Dowager Duan nodded: "But he is a good boy, with a righteous mind, a fair person, a good temper, and a top-notch appearance...It's a pity..."

When Jing Yan heard this, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Let him be enshrined in the imperial hospital, dedicated to serving Aijia, so as to save him from thinking about things all day long. Aijia can often see him and feel at ease."

Jing Yan glanced over Empress Dowager Duan's deep gaze, hesitant to speak.

Empress Dowager Duan raised her eyebrows: "Do you have something to say?"

"Yes. The day before yesterday, Brother Ran said that he...he will do his best to investigate the mastermind behind that arrow..."

"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Duan frowned, "How could he, a mere scholar, be able to find out about important military and state affairs? It's really nonsense! In this way, the Ai family has to restrain him even more. He is the only seedling left in the Shi family. There is a good or bad, what face is there under the Aijia Nine Springs..."

Her eyes were red, and it was hard to say any more, so she waved her hand at Jingyan: "Go ahead! Aijia wants to be alone..."

Jing Yan also felt sore when he heard it.She really didn't want to make the always strong queen mother lose face in front of her and lose face, so she hurriedly saluted and stepped back.

The meeting between the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Mansion was extremely efficient, and within half a day, the newly agreed posthumous title was up to Shoukang Palace.

The little servant held a tray and knelt at the Empress Dowager Duan's feet. A few feet away, Lu Kun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the newly appointed Zong Zhengxiang Wang Yuwenguang stood obediently with their hands down.

Empress Dowager Duan raised her eyelids, glanced at the figures of the two, and snorted secretly.

Looking inside the tray again, there are two signs——

A word for "filial piety" and a word for "Ming".

Jing Yan sat beside him and nodded silently: This time, it's not bad.

Empress Dowager Duan pondered for a while, twisted the word "filial piety" with two fingers, and snapped it straight away with a "snap".

Jing Yan's heart sank——

The so-called "filial piety is called filial piety to parents who do good deeds, and filial piety is called filial piety if they are rich and honored." The queen mother still has resentment towards Zhe in her heart!

But Queen Mother Duan said lightly: "It's the word 'Ming'."

To illuminate the four directions is called Ming, and to curb evil and promote good is called Ming.It is really the posthumous title of the superior, what dare the ministers and workers say?Naturally, it does what it does.

Therefore, there has been an additional "Mingzong" emperor's seat in Fengxian Hall since then.

A few days later, Naiqin Tianjian selected the auspicious day.

There is no need to repeat the complicated rituals of the new king's ascension to the throne, and the officials bowing down.

Yu Wenrui wears a twelve-chapter gown and a twelve-chamber crown on his head.The hanging white jade beads will block her view, making it impossible for her to see the kneeling people clearly.

Yu Wenrui had to keep his eyes wide open, barely resisting the urge to raise his head and pick up the beads——

Sister-in-law said, sitting on this golden dragon chair, one has to be well-behaved to have the demeanor of an emperor.

But Yu Wenrui felt that the chair was so golden that it dazzled the eyes, but it was not comfortable to sit on it.She has a small body, and the soles of the boots on her feet are so thick that they can't touch the ground. The whole body seems to be half suspended in the air, which is as uncomfortable as it is.

Hmm... If only I could grow up faster, the soles of my feet can touch the ground, and my heart can feel more at ease.

The etiquettes were endless, and Yu Wenrui's butt hurt from sitting, so he had to rub back and forth on the dragon chair with small movements.

"cough--"

A light cough came from the side, Yu Wenrui shivered, and timidly glanced at Jing Yan who was sitting upright behind him.

Jing Yan stared at her, his eyes were clearly saying "behave".

Yu Wenrui withdrew his gaze, flattened his mouth, and continued to tense the muscles on his buttocks, helplessly watching the officials kneeling down below, and listening to the long-winded chatter of the chief of ceremony Rory.

She looked at the officials, and the officials also secretly looked at the little emperor.

Today's situation seems to be a reappearance of that year.

It's just that the former young emperor Yu Wenzhe was replaced by the current young female emperor Yu Wenrui, and the one sitting aside listening to the government was replaced by the former emperor's Empress Jing, who is now the Empress Dowager Jing.

All the ministers were asking the same question: The empress dowager who has dominated the Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, really gave up power?Or, retreating behind the scenes, have other plans?

What kind of temperament this Empress Dowager Jing is, in fact, everyone is not very clear.Before the wedding, she was a famous and crowned master in the capital, and she was the first-class talent and appearance of the Da Zhou family.If it weren't for such qualifications, I'm afraid I wouldn't marry into the royal family, right?

As for the Empress Dowager Jing's ability to govern the country and how to serve her, all the ministers had a big question mark in their hearts.

In short, this big week of Jiangshan, starting today, can be regarded as a new opening with a heavy blow.How is the road ahead?Who knows!

The enthronement ceremony was from the beginning to the end amidst Yu Wenrui's back and forth and the secret thoughts of the officials.

In any case, it seems that the palace is still in harmony with the monarch and his ministers, and it is peaceful.

Just at this time, the Ministry of War sent out a troop to announce that "an envoy from Beizheng has arrived", and the officials were in an uproar.

"Xuan!" Jing Yan said awe-inspiringly.

Yin He, the Northern Zheng envoy, had arrived in the capital a long time ago, but he had been left alone in the post and ignored.

Empress Dowager Duan intended to "cut her edge", but in fact, to put it bluntly, she wanted to give Bei Zheng a blow.In addition to the national mourning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Mingzong died on the way to conquer Beizheng, so from the government to the people, they all hated Beizheng and gritted their teeth.This Yin He has also suffered a lot in the posthouse. If he eats something strange, or drinks tea with an inexplicable taste, etc., it is all due to the resentment of the servants or lower-level officials in the posthouse. And move hands and feet.If it weren't for the guards specially arranged by the Queen Mother to protect him, he and his followers would have been separated by now, and even there would be no bones left.

After suffering like this for a few days, Jing Yan originally thought that he would see a haggard man with a haggard face, but what he didn't want to step into the palace was a tall, tall, mighty young man with high spirits.

Yin He was only 27 or [-] years old, and under the glaring gaze of all the officials, he walked in calmly and presented his credentials without being humble or overbearing.

Jing Yan glanced at the Guoshu, and said with a sneer, "The Beizheng Puppet Dynasty had a good plan! Strike? Trade? Heh! Bullying me that there is no one in Dazhou!"

Her voice was stern, and the ministers who were used to her docile and following Yu Wenzhe's side trembled in their hearts when they heard it: This Empress Dowager Jing seems to be a good match...

Yin He, however, showed no fear on his face, and smiled slightly: "The queen mother's words are wrong! Yes, our country is located in the north of Zhou, and the country's name is also 'Zheng'. However, where does the word 'false' come from?" ?”

Before Jing Yan could answer, Pei Jinsong said angrily, "Hmph! Yang Can rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty. Didn't the envoy not know about such historical events? Or is the Beizheng court ashamed of this? Ashamed to tell their descendants?"

Seeing that Prime Minister Pei was so aggressive, all the ministers couldn't help but frown secretly because they didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother, the little emperor, and Duan Xiang who stood above him.

Yin He was unmoved, "May I ask what your name is?"

Pei Jinsong snorted: "Old Master Shangshu's right servant shot Pei Jinsong!"

"Since Mr. Pei understands history, how dare you ask how your country took over the country from the previous dynasty?"

"This...huh! Sophistry!" Pei Jinsong waved his sleeves disdainfully.

Yin He smiled slightly: "The so-called winners and losers, isn't that how all the kingdoms of the past dynasties came about? Mr. Pei took care of other people's homes, but he didn't take care of his own..."

When he said this, he was really mocking Pei Jinsong as "a lampstand of eight feet—dark under the lamp".

Before he could finish his ridicule, a clear and clear child's voice rang out from the hall: "Hunk! If everything is like what you said, is there a word 'morality' in this world?"

Yin He's body shook, and he suddenly raised his head, facing Yu Wenrui who jumped up from the dragon chair.

well said!

Duan Yan couldn't help picking his thumb secretly.But seeing the little emperor's appearance at this moment, he almost burst into laughter——

The white jade beads in front of the crown, Yu Wenrui thought they were in the way, so they had already pushed them to the back of his head, with a tight little face, those big bright eyes, and the small twelve chapters uniform, No matter how you look at it, there is a sense of humor...

Jing Yan almost hid her face, she wanted to ask Wuyou to put down the beads, sit down and talk, but she was afraid of disturbing her "emperor's dignity", so she silently hypnotized herself: let her go!Anyway, a kid...

Yin He looked at this serious little man playfully, and cupped his hands: "Surely this is the new king?"

Yu Wenrui snorted: "Didn't you see what I'm wearing?"

The ministers couldn't help covering their mouths, trying not to laugh out loud in the hall.

"Your Majesty is very energetic." Yin He smiled lightly.

Yu Wenrui stood in front of the dragon chair with his hips crossed, "I'm in my prime, it's not like that Yang Can is half buried in the loess!"

When all the ministers heard her say the words "I'm in my prime", they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yu Wenrui didn't care about it, and continued to speak confidently: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that I want to teach you to be good!"

All the officials couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard the common saying in her words.

"Major affairs in the world, after all, the word 'morality' cannot be changed! If there is no morality, wouldn't the subordinates of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou enjoy the world and no one would dare to control it? My ancestors of the Great Zhou, upholding morality and righteousness, worked for the poor people in the world. Stretching, holding high the flag of righteousness, overthrowing the tyrannical Yang Zheng court, and returning the world to a peaceful and prosperous world. This is "righteousness"! Because of righteousness, you can respond to everyone, and you can be invincible! Then what is Yang Can? The scourge of war has caused the death of my Emperor Mingzong, I wish I could eat his flesh alive! I drank his blood alive!"

The ministers heard her speak more and more vulgarly, and they couldn't stand it any longer.

Jing Yan didn't interrupt, and let her do whatever she wanted.

Yin He was speechless for a while.

After a long time, his complexion was deep, and he cupped his fists again, bowed towards Yu Wenrui, and said solemnly: "The matter of Emperor Mingzong of your country has been clearly written in the national book, and it was not my work, Da Zheng. Who is the murderer? The country is also trying its best to find out. In addition, with a meager body, for the livelihood of all people in the world, I implore Your Majesty to temporarily stop the swords and soldiers, and return the people to a peaceful life!"

After finishing speaking, Yin He bowed to the ground and bowed three times.Then, he turned around and left without looking back.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them understood what he meant by this move.

Yu Wenrui was pointing the steps down, putting on airs and waiting to refute Yin He.Unexpectedly, he punched the cotton, and he... walked away.

She suddenly felt that she was the only one left on the huge stage, and she felt very lost.

The night is as cool as water.Everything is quiet.

Standing on the highest observatory in the Forbidden Palace, looking up, the stars in the sky seem to be within reach.

The crescent moon is beautiful, the starry sky is also beautiful, and the back view of my sister-in-law...is also beautiful.

Yu Wenrui stared blankly at Jing Yan's delicate back looking up at the starry sky, lost in thought.

"Wuyou, this place was built for me by your imperial brother back then. In this world, apart from the tops of mountains, there is probably no place where you can see the stars more clearly than here."

Auntie's voice, cool and soft, touched Yu Wenrui's heart, more comfortable than this night.

Jing Yan continued on his own: "Your brother only knows that I am eager to learn and like to explore the stars all over the sky... But he doesn't know that the one I love most is actually the one—"

Her jade-colored palm raised, pointing to the Big Dipper in the sky.Under the moonlight, that palm was like the warmest white jade, emitting a soft light that made people unable to move their eyes away.

"Ziwei Star, also known as the Emperor Star. It controls the vast starry sky... Wuyou, will you become the Emperor Star that controls the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?"

Yu Wenrui's expression was shocked.She stared blankly at the Emperor Star, and couldn't help turning her eyes back to Auntie.

She really wants to grow up, grow up quickly.

When she grows up, she can protect sister-in-law from the wind and rain, and she can gently put on a cloak for sister-in-law in such a cool night.

Yu Wenrui doesn't know what she can do for her sister-in-law when she grows up, but she knows one thing very well——

At that time, she will not let sister-in-law be so desolate and lonely again.
