Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhu Youxiao let the young boy grab his sleeve, he put the other hand on the back of Zhu Youjian's hand, patted it lightly, frowned slightly and said: "Goro, there are a lot of things at the end of the year. Yes. At the end of the year, we have to make a summary of the whole year’s affairs, which is almost equivalent to reviewing the people and things in each department from the beginning. The big money to be spent next year and what things to do should be planned this month. You see , I have entrusted King Duan, King Hui, and King Lu to do the ancestor worship.

The three of them are Uncle Wang and Uncle Tang. How can you and I be close as brothers.If you don't want me to be distracted any more, get well soon. "

Zhu Youjian's eyes were red again.

"Brother Huang, I just miss Tenth Sister and Qilang too much. They are so young, they haven't done any bad things, they just haven't had time to do wrong things, why can't they grow up properly?"

"You idiot, aren't you talking nonsense! We have seven brothers, and you and I have each other. Ten younger sisters have nine biological older sisters, and as you can see, only three have grown up. Children are prone to die young."

Zhu Youxiao took the face towel handed over by the maid, and carefully wiped Zhu Youjian's tears.

"Goro, you can't just think about Qilang and Shimei. Madam Li has raised you for so many years, have you noticed how haggard she is these days?"

Zhu Youjian held his breath, choked a few times, nodded heavily, and held back his tears.

"Brother Huang, I won't cry anymore. I won't cry anymore for my mother's sake. I'm going to sit up and eat today."

"Okay, our Goro is sensible. You need to get well soon, I'm still waiting for you to be your helper. This year our royal family can't celebrate the New Year like last year. At that time, we will hold banquets in Qianqing Palace and Wenhua Palace. You have to help Let the emperor go to reward the civil and military officials who have worked hard for a year."

"Um, uh. I will."

Zhu Youjian nodded again and again.

Concubine Li Zhuang touched the tears in the corners of her eyes in relief.She has no children of her own, and from the time when the former emperor, who was still the prince, pointed Zhu Youjian to her to take care of her, that Zhu Youjian watched carefully with his heart in his arms, no worse than Zhu Youjian's mother-in-law Liu Shi .

"It's still the emperor who can persuade Goro. Is the emperor going to hold a banquet this year?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"This year, we will only entertain civil and military officials. Next year, we will welcome the queen into the palace, and then we will invite Mrs. Gao Ming."

The scorching light in Li Zhuang's eyes immediately dimmed a bit.

No need for her to say anything, Zhu Youxiao can guess her thoughts a little bit.If she presides over a New Year banquet for Mrs. Gaoming before the queen enters the palace, after the queen enters the palace, she will have some status in front of the queen.In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, even though she tried her best to take care of Zhu Youjian, she didn't want to praise her and make her mother-in-law half-hearted for the future queen.

Concubine Li Zhuang has such a careful thought, which is also raised by Zhu Youxiao's care and attention to Zhu Youjian.Now there is no empress dowager in the inner court, the Renshou Palace is full of Shenzong's concubines, and she has the final say on the big and small affairs of the East Six Palaces, and it is human nature to win Longwangshu.

"My lord, there is no draft yet. Besides, the selected people have to teach for a while."

Li Niangniang reminded the emperor tactfully.

"I choose the queen from the Gongqing's mansion, and I will choose a marriage for Wulang from civil and military officials in the future. Even the Lu Wang brothers will no longer choose the princess from the people."

Concubine Li Zhuang's face turned pale. Is this because she dislikes the low status of their civilian-born women, who are not worthy of being royal concubines?But she has been immersed in the palace for 20 years, and she still has a good grasp of the basic ability of when to say something.

She immediately put on a smiling face and said flatteringly: "Of course it's the best. Then I'll ask the emperor to marry Wu Lang a lady from a wealthy family."

Zhu Youxiao nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Goro is my brother, and I will let the queen choose a good marriage for him."

Zhu Youjian, who sat up leaning on the pillow on the bed, heard about himself, so he interjected and asked, "When will the emperor get married?"

"This time next year."

Concubine Li Zhuang also answered the words gently: "The emperor will be married in the new year, and should have been married long ago."

"Don't worry, I will guard father for three years."

"The emperor's filial piety is commendable."

Concubine Li Zhuang praised her in her mouth, but she said in her heart that you are not filial to your father, you are trampling your father into the mud.Who doesn't know why the first emperor fell ill.

Alas, for such a son to be the emperor, the former emperor will always be recorded in the annals of history and compared with his son.

"My lord, do you want to instruct the Shang bedroom to prepare a few people for the lord first?"

"No. I said I would keep it for three years. This is the rule. If I take the lead and break the rules, the world will not be chaotic."

Concubine Li Zhuang was suddenly embarrassed.Although Zhu Youjian didn't understand what the emperor and his adoptive mother were talking about, but seeing Concubine Li Zhuang's face looked sour, he pulled Zhu Youxiao's sleeve and asked, "Brother Emperor, wouldn't it be good to prepare a few more people?"

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and twisted the tip of Zhu Youjian's nose, "Not good. My Qianqing Palace is only a small place, and it is often used for large and small court meetings. There are too many people and I can't turn it around. I think you are serious I'm getting better, I'll get up tomorrow and fill in the big characters that I missed in the past few days."

Zhu Youjian wailed immediately, "Brother Huang, I'm not ready yet. I'll make it up when I get better, okay?"

"Okay. If you want to make up big characters on the second day of the new year, you can do it."

Zhu Youjian took Zhu Youxiao's hand to play tricks, and wanted to halve it.The two brothers were arguing, and the maid came in and said: "The emperor, the empress, the princess and the princess are here to see Wu Lang."

Concubine Li Zhuang looked at Zhu Youxiao, waiting for him to speak.

"Let them come in, and I should go back. I'm so tired every day that my brain hurts."

Even though he said so, he still waited for the princesses and princesses to come in to see the ceremony, asked them a little about their daily life, and then left Yongning Palace with his mighty dozen or so eunuchs and returned to Qianqing Palace.

The three princesses visit Zhu Youjian several times a day.None of them thought that Zhu Youjian would fall ill for Shimei and Qilang who died young.Under the enlightenment of Concubine Fu, the fifth and sixth princesses naturally obeyed their mother and concubine's instructions to show their siblings' friendship in front of the emperor.And every time they came to see Zhu Youjian, they would first call the eighth princess and the two younger sisters of King Lu who were brought up with the eighth princess by the concubine Wang Tai in Jingyang Palace.

These two princesses are still their aunts.

Several girls went to Yongning Palace at the frequency of morning, noon and evening plus supper. Even when Zhu Youjian was feverish and confused, they had to go in and take a look before leaving.Let Zhu Youjian really feel that there are no younger brothers and sisters, and older brothers and sisters care about him.

This is also an important reason why Zhu Youjian recovered very quickly.

Zhu Youjian can sit up today, and when Zhu Youxiao came to see him, he was already fully dressed.Although I was sitting on the bed, I felt a little tired after so long.After greeting my aunt and sisters, I didn't sit for a long time and became tired.

Zhu Huiyan, the leading fifth princess, immediately stood up and said, "Goro rest well. We will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhu Youjian went down to the ground again, first thanked the two cousins, and then thanked the sisters, watched the girls leave with the help of the eunuch, and went back to the bed to lie down with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I will get better soon. I won't let your Majesty, Brother Huang and sisters worry about me anymore."

"Okay. Sleep. It will be better when you wake up."

Concubine Li Zhuang tucked Zhu Youjian in a tight quilt, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so it seemed that she didn't have to guard it by herself tonight.

"Don't close your eyes tonight, you guys, just watch Goro for me, you know?"

"Yes, the servant knows."

Concubine Li Zhuang gave Zhu Youjian detailed instructions on how to take care of Zhu Youjian, and looked back at Zhu Youjian, who had closed his eyes and was about to sleep, and walked lightly. After walking three or five steps, Zhu Youjian said behind him: "Thank you, ma'am."

The sound is so low that it can hardly be heard.

Concubine Li Zhuang paused for a moment, then pretended not to hear Zhu Youjian's words and went out.After all, he is not his own son.If it was my own, how would I say thank you to my mother?

Zhu Youxiao has been very tired these past few days. Soaked in hot water, his mind is still thinking about what will happen tomorrow, and whether the budget for next year should increase the amount reserved for unexpected accidents.For example, there was a fire in Hangzhou this year, and the Yellow River in Henan broke its embankment. Although the scope of the impact is small, the imperial court must use real money and food to help the people.

The amount of money and food is not small, which is really worrying.

There is also the flooding of the Yellow River, which is also troublesome.When the Yellow River has not been fully controlled, this amount can only be reserved as standing silver, and cannot be reserved for accidents.

well!As long as he thinks about the continuous natural disasters in the year of Tianqi, he can only comfort himself by saying that luckily it was not the year of Chongzhen.Next year, there will be an earthquake next year.

There will be more next year, and more—Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that there will be more wars next year.He suddenly stood up from the barrel, and Fang Zhenghua, who was waiting outside the screen, immediately asked, "My lord, do you want some hot water?"

"Okay, let's add some hot water."

Zhu Youxiao sat back in the bathtub again, there was nothing he could do in a hurry tonight, and he had to wait for tomorrow to arrange it one by one.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao got up and told Cao Huachun: "Notify the Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Banghua, Yang Lian, and several governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and let others continue to discuss the budget in the Qianqing Palace first."

The emperor didn't make the budget with the officials in Qianqing Palace, and all the people from the Ministry of War were called to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Everyone immediately realized that there was a war, so they asked Han Yu who stayed in the cabinet on duty last night.

Han Yu was at a loss, "Nothing happened last night, and I didn't receive any urgent battle report."

When Fang Congzhe saw what Han Yu said, he immediately said, "Then let's leave the other side alone and discuss the relocation of Ningxia Wei first."
