Emperor's Trophy

Luo Caiqing saw the young Hou Ye leaning on the grand master's chair in the middle of the flower hall, embracing the snow-white fox fur, leaning on the armrest of the grand master's chair with one hand and staring at the children below, with a smile on his lips, because Just recovering from illness, his face is a little pale, Lord Hou looks like Princess Dingxiang, but his eyebrows are more delicate, his skin is exceptionally fair, and his age is indistinguishable from male and female, sitting there, he can tell that he is in a trance , obviously he asked Yazi to send someone to pick them, but when the veterans were busy picking them, he seemed to stay out of the matter, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He is still a child, but his parents are gone, and he is lonely. He probably just forced a smile on his face on weekdays. How do these veterans know what children of this age like to play? No wonder Ding Dai said that it would be fine to wait for the princes and princes to enter the palace. Yes, it is true that children of the same age can only talk together.

However, Luo Caiqing thought of the passed away Princess Dingxiang. Although Princess Dingxiang was the adoptive daughter of the former emperor in the wilderness, she was brave and good at fighting, and she did not know how many times she saved the emperor who was still the prince during the war in the north. Princess Dingxiang has always been very affectionate, and she always said that the sister-sibling friendship was forged with real knives and real guns. Although most of the royal affairs can only be trusted three-pointedly, the emperor took special care of the righteous sister's orphan. Now it seems that It seems that there is some kind of affection.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "See Lord Hou for a humble position."

Only then did Yun Zhen see Luo Caiqing, and he was a little surprised: "Chang Shi is here? Please sit down, what's the matter?" He waved his hand to signal the housekeeper beside him to take Guan Yazi away. Those children were taken away.

Luo Caiqing sat down next to the chair and said with a smile: "The lowly position has been announced to the palace today. I thought it was the Taichang Temple who had an explanation, but I didn't expect it to be the emperor's call, but it was to ask if the Marquis was cured, and I was worried." Hou Ye Shouxiao is injured due to vegetarianism, so he gave some bird's nests and sea cucumbers, and they will be delivered to the mansion in a while."

A group of veterans all turned their heads and laughed when they heard Luo Caiqing's words of the emperor: "Hey! This is the emperor's great grace!"

"Your Majesty looks very cold-tempered, but he takes good care of our Lord Hou!"

"It was very cold when we fought in the past, cold and arrogant, unlike the eldest princess who treats people warmly."

"If you want me to say that this is what the Marquis deserves, the Eldest Princess took good care of the Emperor in the past! If our Eldest Princess hadn't supported him back then, he would still be the Emperor..."

Yun Zhen suddenly turned his head and interrupted: "Does the emperor have anything else to say?"

Luo Caiqing was terrified by the nonsense of this group of rude people who didn't know etiquette, secretly regretting that she should have asked Lord Hou to report to the study, and she was about to say something to bully the king, seeing Yunzhen interrupting them Then, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart: "Your Majesty asked you to exercise more in your daily life to strengthen your body, and told Lord Hou to study your books. When you are born, His Majesty will personally test your knowledge."

Yun Zhen was stunned, and all the veterans burst into laughter: "Our brother gets a headache when he hears reading."

"My brother, like the eldest princess, is also afraid of reading."

"My brother is already a nobleman. It doesn't matter whether he studies or not. The emperor is too strict."

"You must read and read, and you will have to do errands at that time. You can't live a lifetime like us without knowing big characters. What's the big future? Even if you can write a few poems, it will be good to coax the future Madam Hou in the future." .”

Luo Caiqing was dumbfounded by this group of old soldiers who didn't know etiquette. Looking at Lord Hou, she somehow felt that the expression on Master Hou's face was not the expression of a child who was troubled and afraid of reading, but a kind of nostalgia and sadness look.

He was startled by the somewhat un-childlike expression, and couldn't help asking: "Master Hou?"

Yun Zhen seemed to have come back to his senses, smiled and said to him: "Chang Shi, please come to the study at the back, and also consider writing a thank you note for me." He got up, and gathered the fox fur , as if a little afraid of the cold, and looked at Lao Lantou and the others: "Brothers pick and choose again, let the housekeepers buy what they like, even if they miss it, it's okay, keep the worthless ones in the nursing home, or It’s okay to put it on the farm, just let it go and pick, it doesn’t matter if you pick more.”

The veterans responded with a smile: "Okay! We must pick out the best person for Master Hou!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Yunzhen's mouth, motioning for Luo Caiqing to follow.

In the study, after Luo Caiqing told Yun Zhen exactly what Ji Bingyuan had said, he couldn't help but said: "The emperor attaches great importance to Lord Gu Xi, and Lord Hou should be grateful and make a difference."

More than cherishing?Such a hero who opened up the territory, a Mingjun known for his literary and martial arts, indulged himself without a bottom line.

Yun Zhen smiled, his eyes softened.

In the first life, I did something shocking to the world. In fact, I didn’t think it would be possible at the time, but I was young, fearless, and always had the temperament of a madman. Maybe I knew that the emperor would not blame him subconsciously.At that time, he wrote a booklet and asked to marry Zhu Jiang.

The court was shocked, and the censors impeached him for audacity, arrogance, immorality, indiscretion, disrespect, and so on.

However, it was such a scandalous and earth-shattering act that ordinary people saw as just nonsense, the emperor didn't reject it, but said in the court: "What is the rule? The husband is the wife? The emperor's sister used the body of a woman to create countless honors that men can't match. , to pacify the north, to make great achievements, how come no one said anything about the rules at this time? Pass on the family line and continue the incense? Although two men get married, the heirs can inherit from another branch. Since the heirs are not hindered, why should they stick to the rules? The elders agree that they neither live in Qing's house nor eat at Qing's house, so what are you doing?"

The emperor seldom expresses his position when discussing court affairs. He just lets the ministers speak, but once he expresses his position, he will not be disobeyed. The courtiers understand his habits and are all silent. They probably want to be immoral and immoral, and there is no need to confront the emperor. , anyway, it's just a clan without real power.

Unexpectedly, the emperor even issued a decree to grant a marriage, ordering Taichang Temple to marry him and Zhu Jiang, and also rewarded Zhu Jiang with a title.

There was an uproar in the court, Emperor Wucheng had always been strong and iron-fisted, and he ignored the Taiwan remonstrance, and the ministers observed his words, and they calmed down, and there was no disturbance among the people, and the people in the capital became a legend for a few days, and not many people really Everyone wants to follow suit, and gradually no one talks about it.

But another rumor was quietly spreading in private, saying that Ji Bingyuan's trick was really ruthless.Emperor Wucheng had a clear political affairs and was always a wise emperor. How could he dare to risk the world's disobedience on the basis of Zhaoxinhou, disregarding the rules and regulations, and insist on giving marriages?This is obviously to be afraid of the power of the first princess in the army, and to connive Zhaoxin Hou to corrupt Gang Jilunchang, turn the world upside down, and be unpopular, so that he can wipe out the power of the princess Dingxiang in the army before. This is the real emperor's method Woolen cloth.

All kinds of rumors and rumors spread wildly in private, and even he believed it at the beginning. After he was poisoned and reborn in the first life, he thought about it for a long time, and suspected that his dandyism and nonsense behavior were precisely in Ji Bingyuan's favor. Pushing the boat along the way, and he was indulged in petty love, and had little contact with his mother's subordinates. In the end, his mother's power in the army was all firmly in the hands of Ji Bingyuan, who was also a leader.

So in the second life, he stayed away from Zhu Jiang and chose to support Ji Huaisu.

Then, under the guidance of the husband next to Ji Huaisu, he continued to place people in the army, and used his mother's power to win over and do good to him. But at that time, the emperor completely allowed himself to mess around with Ji Huaisu, and even later appointed Ji Huaisu as the crown prince. On the battlefield, after Ji Huaisu ascended the throne, he was imprisoned soon.

Before being sent to prison, Ji Huaisu had a showdown with himself. It turned out that he thought that he was Ji Bingyuan's illegitimate son. His own cliques and cliques had already surpassed the bottom line of all monarchs, but he was safe and sound. This is impossible for others to do Yes, Ji Bingyuan's love for him was clearly seen by everyone in the court, except himself, who was blind, who didn't know it.

It was never Ji Bingyuan who was afraid of him, and he understood it on the first day he was imprisoned.

He doesn't even have to confess in person, there will naturally be kind and considerate courtiers to do all the dirty work for him.

The way Ji Bingyuan treats herself well is completely indulgent without a bottom line.

If he wants to marry a man, he agrees, and if he forms a clique and strengthens the power in the army, he also agrees.

No wonder Ji Huaisu thought that he was the emperor's own son, but because he was born with his nominal sister, it was absolutely impossible for him to recognize him as a prince, so he indulged him without a bottom line and took whatever he wanted.

So, when Ji Huaisu showed his favor to him at the beginning, under the guidance of an expert, did he consciously win him over in order to gain the trust of Emperor Wu Cheng?Successfully selected as the crown prince, successfully obtained the approval of Emperor Wu Cheng, transformed from the youngest son of a vassal king into a high-ranking heir to the throne...

Counting the time, Ji Huaisu should be on his way to Beijing now.

Yun Zhen's eyes were quiet, but his expression was complicated. Luo Caiqing always felt that Yun Zhen's gaze contained sadness and loss, so he couldn't help but shut up.

But Yun Zhen suddenly smiled: "Understood, I have to trouble Chang Shidai to write a thank you note, just say thank you for the emperor's kindness, I am so grateful, death is inevitable, from now on I will do my best to thank God."

Luo Caiqing agreed, but secretly laughed in his heart that Master Hou is still young, and the words are too forceful, so he has to polish them carefully, and must write down the earnestness and gratitude of Master Hou despite his young age. Okay, but after thinking about it, he said again: "Mr. Zhang has a reputation for talent, and he only came to the lower office. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhang to write this book, which is more secure?"

Yun Zhen turned his head, a little dazed, and smiled after a while: "You can just write it, Mr. Zhang—that is going home, you should take it as soon as possible."

Luo Caiqing looked at his expression, and the weird feeling became more and more strange. With Zhang Yan's talent, Yun Zhen only regarded him as an ordinary staff member. .
