After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

Zaisheng five years, a certain day after the Longevity Festival.

Such spring light penetrated into the house through the bright window paper, shining on a marble chessboard, reflecting the fierce fighting on the table.

Gu Xiu was wearing a black robe with wide sleeves and was sitting upright, rubbing a chess piece made of black jade in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the situation in front of him, the cool chess piece was scalded by him, and he didn't see him move it.

On the other hand, Han Mochu, who was sitting opposite, was wearing a stretched light gray linen gauze shirt, and he was leaning on the screen table made of mahogany calmly, sipping hot spring tea.

Gu Xiu stared at the chessboard for a while, then turned around and opened a book that had been folded, trying to find a way to break the game.

"Your Majesty, if you really don't know how to play, I can tell you." Han Mochu put down the teacup, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth: "If you keep turning the pages, the pages of this chess book will almost fall off." .”

Hearing this, Gu Xiu's expression relaxed, and he crossed the chessboard and threw the chess piece in his hand to Han Mochu who was facing him.

Han Mochu took the chess piece, and dropped it decisively, directly intercepting and killing the two ends of the white chess, and eating the two most critical pieces in the white chess layout. The white chess that was originally held by him suddenly lost .

Gu Xiu immediately nodded his head as if enlightened, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "How can Ziran even win against himself?"

"The joy of playing chess is like this. If you can't even beat yourself, how can you win others?" Han Mochu raised his lips and raised a warm smile: "How is it? Can you still play?"

"No more, you always give way to me, let's seriously think about what to have for lunch." Gu Xiu got up, walked around the chessboard and sat next to Han Mochu, and ate the black tea he ate while drinking tea. fruit preserves.

This is the bedroom that Prince Ning Yi rebuilt for the monarch and his ministers in the year when they went to Lanzhu. It is located behind the Xuanzheng Hall of the Daily Morning Dynasty.

It was named "Ziju" by Han Mochu himself.

Ziju covers an area of ​​more than [-] zhang, and the main room is [-] zhang high. A high platform for stargazing and scenery is added, and there is also a special residence for two people to play chess, taste tea, have fun, and rejuvenate the mind.

The rain corridors and curved bridges in the back house are connected to each other, just connected to the warm pavilion where the two used to live in the Xuanzheng Hall, and officially changed it into a large study room for the two to review memorials and meet with ministers.

However, this brand new palace also upholds the frugal style of the two. Although the exterior of the palace is magnificent, there are still no two extravagant items in the whole palace.

After the last year and one year, those territories that were included in the territory of the Great Zhou were completely surrendered, and the local people gradually accepted the rule of the Great Zhou.One big thing is that the dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and most things have rules to follow.The well-connected post roads have made the people of the whole country rich, and the year seems to be like a year. Even the Lingnan area, which reported disasters every year in the past, has expanded its land and bamboo weaving, Teng weaving, and red clay that can be exported through the post roads. , rock salt, etc. and become increasingly abundant.

According to the official performance evaluation rules set by Han Mochu, those who have been lazy for three years will not be recorded. In order to keep the black yarn on their heads, local officials have devoted their lives to major issues of people's livelihood during their administration. Things within his duties bother the court.

This year, the 13-year-old little prince Yucheng officially entered the court to listen to the government and studied civil, military and military affairs.The little prince, who has been around the monarch and his ministers since he was a child, learns government affairs very quickly, and can handle some simple memorials independently, which invisibly lightens the burden on the monarch and his ministers.

For a while, the two who have been so busy that they can't find time to eat and sleep finally have a lot of leisure of their own.

In their spare time, they seem to have returned to the two years when Han Mochu first entered the palace. Once the daily court affairs were over, they would go back to their own palace and close the door to run amok.The only difference is that the two of them are more at ease than they were back then.

Also in this year, Princess Qingzhao, who was nearly 40 years old, suddenly became pregnant and became pregnant with her third child with her son-in-law Zhuoying.

It is very rare for a woman to conceive at such an age. Even Master Hui Ning, who has lived in seclusion for many years, returned to Beijing to visit her in a luan. Concubine Jin ordered people to renovate her manor in the suburbs of Beijing overnight. It is exclusively for Princess Qingzhao to raise her child, and the princess's daily life should be taken care of by Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou and the emperor's most trusted old Shanggong Wu to ensure that the hard-won baby of Her Royal Highness is safe and sound.

After Shanggong Wu's departure, the restless monarch and his subjects were free of restraint in the palace.

Sometimes the two will fight naked in the rain and snow, even if they can't tell the winner, they still want to have a good fight.Sometimes he went to the military camp to deliver the mare, and when he saw a good-looking foal, he brought it back to the palace to feed it himself.

Sometimes they changed into coarse linen clothes and went to eat snacks in the busiest market outside the palace. They were relieved to find that they were the only two of the people who visited the market wearing coarse cloth, and even the soya-bean milk vendors wore silk cotton. .

Han Mochu finally had time to study the books and blueprints that he brought back when he met Mr. Yi Yi in Luocha Kingdom. For this reason, Gu Xiu ordered people to evacuate three large inner rooms, which were specially used to store Han Mochu's Materials and tools for researching PepsiCo.For the convenience of casting, he even set up a blast furnace for metallurgy in the backyard, and dug out a craftsman who was good at making molds from the military supervisor to live in the palace.

It is very rare to play chess quietly in Yangyi residence like today.

During lunch, the two directly ordered someone to place the dining table in a small courtyard with a beautiful spring scene in the south of Ziju.

Smelling the light fragrance and eating fresh seasonal dishes, it is really carefree and comfortable.

"Have you seen the list of candidates for Jing Zhaoyin sent by the Ministry of Officials today? Is there anyone you like?" Gu Xiu picked up chopsticks and Han Mochu picked up two spring bamboo shoots and put them on the small plate in front of Han Mochu.

Talking about government affairs during meals is a habit that Gu Xiu has developed over the years of his administration.

Although it is no longer necessary to be so busy now, Gu Xiu is still hard to change this bad habit.

Half a month ago, Jiang Li, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, wrote a letter to report his old age.

This old man who has worked half his life in Jingzhao Mansion suffered from cough and asthma the year before last, and he felt worse last winter. He is in his sixties and wants to teach school-age children in county schools in the suburbs of Beijing after he retires.

Thinking of the kindness of helping each other in the past, Han Mochu naturally agreed, and directly added the first rank when he retired, giving Jiang Li the greatest dignity when he left office.

After Han Mochu bid farewell to his old friend, the matter of choosing the new Jingzhao Fu Yin was temporarily pushed to the two of them.

Jingzhao Mansion has always been the most thankless one among the Manchu officials.

The dignitaries and relatives of the Manchu Dynasty are all in this imperial city, and it is impossible to say who will be offended in a day.Although Jiang Li has everything in mind when he is in this position, there are times when he is unable to do what he wants.

If this person is not chosen well, not to mention the hardships of the common people, the powerful clansmen who live in the middle of the capital will also easily cause trouble.

Han Mochu shook his head, and said bluntly: "Although those candidates were all carefully selected by the officials, and they have achieved outstanding achievements in various places, the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is not something anyone can do. I think It is better to let the officials of the deputy bank take charge of it for the time being, and the formal appointment should be considered in the long term."

"Alright, Jingzhao Mansion is the face of the imperial court, so we should be more cautious about choosing this candidate." Gu Xiu said slowly, "What does Ziran want to do in the afternoon?"

"I have agreed with Chang Ru that I will go to his medicine garden to pick some honeysuckle flowers in the afternoon, and I will also bring some high-quality peach blossoms and purple flowers to cook porridge with Your Majesty." Han Mochu swallowed two pieces in his mouth. Crisp bamboo shoots, said with a smile: "Do you want to go with your majesty?"

"Since I want to cook porridge with me, I naturally want to go with me, and I will treat it as accompaniment to my son Ran Tachun." Speaking of Su Che, Gu Xiu suddenly remembered an incident a few days ago, and asked involuntarily: "I I remember that Mr. Su came to see Ziran a few days ago, and he left angrily after a while, but why?"

"Your Majesty said this? In fact, there is no reason..." Han Mochu put down his chopsticks, and talked about the whole story with a suppressed smile.

***

That day, Doctor Su came to Taifu Han holding a scroll and a small box of dried persimmons and pastries that had been stored for an unknown amount of time. He tugged at his sleeve and said with snot and tears, "Zi Ran, help you!" Good brother, your eldest brother has not yet had a wife and room at this age, I am ashamed of my husband's last entrustment!"

"If you want to marry a wife, you can do it. Why come to me and cry?" The Tai Tuo pulled back his sleeve in disgust: "Could it be that you want to marry someone in the palace?"

Su Che sniffed and wiped his eyes, opened the scroll in his arms, pointed to a barely dignified woman on the scroll and said pitifully, "Look, Ziran, I paid 50 taels of silver for this." Great matchmaker, I finally found a marriage for me. Although this woman is a second-married woman, her previous husband died on the street after only three months of marriage. At my age, I really couldn't pick any more."

"And then?" Han Mochu heard Su Che's unimaginable experience, but still couldn't find a reason for him to cry in front of him.

"Who knows that her elder brother is in charge of this woman's family now, saying that he dislikes that I am only a fourth-rank internal official at this age, whether high or low. I am not even as good as a seventh-rank Beijing official. Their father was still a Yongning retired at the sixth rank in five years. He also said that his sister was destined to be rich, and the brother-in-law from before died on the street because he was too poor to marry his sister."

"So?" Han Mochu suppressed the urge to pour a glass of cold water on this man's face, and responded extremely perfunctorily.

"So, you can give your elder brother a loose official. It doesn't have to be too high. It's better to be a third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor." Su Che opened his snack box with a sincere face and pushed towards Han Mochu.

"The daughter of that family is so rich, how can Doctor Yinqing Guanglu be worthy of her? Wouldn't Doctor Jinzi Guanglu be better?" Han Mochu pretended to think: "No, no, Doctor Guanglu is not worthy either. Why don't I invite you?" Your Majesty, let His Majesty directly grant you a Marquis Protector, and reward you with a fief, how respectable it is."

"This...Zi Ran is whatever you say...just one thing...the minimum can't be lower than the third grade." Su Che shyly said, scratching the back of his head with red cheeks.

"Su Changru, are you crazy?" Han Mochu snapped the snack box in front of him with a snap, and said seriously, "Do you know how strict the current official system is in Dazhou? After ten years of cold weather, Enke became an official." You have to watch it for three years in the officialdom, and the highest is to start from the sixth rank, and you want to be a third-rank official rank if you keep your mouth shut, for such absurd reason."

"What's so absurd about this reason! I have been with you for so many years since I was a child, and now you don't even want to give me a job as a casual official! Are you still my brother!" Su Miracle Doctor refused to let go.

"Su Changru, please be sober. The first thing I did since the beginning of Yongning was to abolish redundant officials. Fortunately, you are still in a hurry to become a scattered official." , a family who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, you actually begged to come to me with your face, and you said that you are absurd? Besides, didn’t the husband leave you 300 taels of gold when he died? I don’t believe 300 taels Jin Jin can't marry the second daughter of such a small official family as her."

"The 300 taels of gold is the dowry I want to leave to Xiao Pei! You mustn't worry about it! No one is allowed to worry about it!" Su Che roared brazenly in front of Han Mochu, unrestrainedly shouting out the secret that had been hidden for several years.

"Su Changru, do you want to take your pulse to see if you are not seriously ill." Han Mo Chufu sat up straight again and said with a soft smile.

Su Che was angry, quickly rolled up the scroll, turned around and left with the snack box in his arms.

"What are you doing out there?" Han Mochu stopped him.

"Go to the matchmaker and get back the money!"
