After the emperor got married, he collapsed and set up

Xiao Jinghe's refusal to open the ancestral hall does not mean that the ancestral hall of Jingbei Prince's Mansion is just like that.

Yang Yanqing's eyes lingered on the old nanny who took out the brass key to open the lock with trembling hands for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said: "Grandma, the real old man with weak hands and feet doesn't tremble like this."

Xiao Jinghe, who was originally standing beside Yang Yanqing with a sullen face, turned his eyes to the old nanny who suddenly stopped moving. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the old man for a long time, before he said uncertainly: "... Aunt Fang?"

The old mother sighed, and took some heavy brass locks from the door of the ancestral hall. Her back was straightened up, her hands did not tremble, and she looked at Xiao Jinghe with a kindness that made him feel a little strange: " My lord, let's go in and have a look."

Nanny Fang was the personal maid who followed Princess Jingbei back then, and she was the dowry that Princess Jingbei followed before she married into the palace.

At the beginning, King Jingbei died in the battle at the border, and Princess Jingbei committed suicide. The Daqing Dynasty was in the hands of the cabinet, but Xiao Jinghe was easily released by King Jingbei's old department. The heavy soldiers did not return for many years.

Nanny Fang sighed softly. She really grew up watching the tall and stern prince in front of her. After the old master left, she kept guarding the ancestral hall, thinking in her heart that she would never see Xiao Jinghe come. In front of this door, I saw the predicament and the difficult quagmire faced by the old master, and really knew those hateful and vicious chains.

It's just that... Although she proclaims herself in this square inch, she still knows that the emperor decreed by accident to break the shadow that has been hanging over the Jingbei Palace for a long time. In her opinion, the consummation of the house was a little more gratifying and relieved.

She looked at the pair of Bi people in front of her, and suddenly smiled, with kindness on her brows: "Young Master, sometimes the prince is as stubborn as the old master, so I need to trouble you to persuade me more. The old slave is right here The door is guarded, if you want to know anything, just ask the old slave."

Xiao Jinghe held Yang Yanqing's hand tightly, without saying a word.

Yang Yanqing patted the back of Xiao Jinghe's hand, saw him looking down, and said in a low voice, "I'm here."

I am in charge of the temple court, and everyone in the frontier battlefield is afraid of you. Even if there are wolves, tigers and leopards inside, what is there to be afraid of?

The heavy carved wooden door was pushed open by Xiao Jinghe, and Yang Yanqing's fingers moved across the mighty and solemn unicorn relief, his eyes moved slightly.

Jingbei Prince's Mansion is low-key everywhere, not to mention not exceeding the rules in terms of specifications, except for the occupied land, even the mansion of King Chengjun is more beautifully repaired than Jingbei's mansion, a first-grade prince's mansion, but now The gate of the ancestral hall in front of the two of them is made of golden silk nanmu, which is exclusively used by the imperial palace and is not allowed to be used by non-specially rewarded clans.

Entering the ancestral hall is just an ordinary altar, with candles burning all around. It must be Mother Fang who wipes the ancestral hall and refuels the lamp every day. On the altar is a list of ancestral tablets from the Jingbei Prince's family line. The bottom one is the old man. King Jingbei and Princess Jingbei.

Xiao Jinghe took incense from the table next to him, lit it silently, handed Yang Yanqing three sticks, and took Yang Yanqing's hand and knelt down straight in front of the memorial tablet.

Yang Yanqing has never had such an experience, he has no father and no mother, and his master does not need incense in the ancestral hall.Holding the incense in his hand, he quietly scanned Xiao Jinghe's movements with the corners of his eyes, lowered his eyes sternly, and bowed down three times.

The green smoke curling up from the incense burner blurred the golden engravings on the tablets. Xiao Jinghe stared at the tablets of his parents in front of him with a complicated expression, but Yang Yanqing raised his head and recorded the name taboo and the person who stood up on each tablet seriously. heart.

——This is the reason why he wanted Xiao Jinghe to bring him to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.

"Sir, the dragon and phoenix carvings in the ancestral hall of the prince's mansion are already illegal, right?"

Xiao Jinghe looked at the relief patterns looming in the dancing candlelight beside the ancestral hall, and asked suddenly.

In fact, strictly speaking, this ancestral hall has violated the regulations from the moment of entering the gate. The smell of lamp oil may be unfamiliar to Xiao Jinghe, but Yang Yanqing, who accompanied the little emperor to sacrifice to heaven and enthroned, can tell that it is clearly a tribute for the imperial ancestral hall.

The two stood up, Xiao Jinghe walked straight towards the back of the altar, lifted the heavy curtains, and they turned to the back of the ancestral hall, and an altar standing with the throne of Jingbei kings in the past suddenly appeared in front of them. in front of the eyes.

The beams and columns in this half of the ancestral hall are all painted in solemn red, and the decorative carvings are mainly dragons and phoenixes, unicorns, and plum blossoms. out.

The surname of the emperor in the previous dynasty was Zheng, but now the names engraved on the tablets on the enshrinement platform belong to the Zheng family. From the founding emperor of the previous dynasty to the last king of subjugation, they are all enshrined.

By the candlelight, Yang Yanqing saw the name of the person who erected a memorial tablet for the king who died in the previous dynasty.

Yan Chuyun.

***

Yang Yanqing did not intervene in the conversation between Xiao Jinghe and Nanny Fang, but gave them a chance to communicate alone, and returned to the main courtyard with his hands in his hands.

Instructing the maid to call Huai Zhou, Yang Yanqing spread out a piece of rice paper on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote a word on it.

present.

Yan Yuyun has studied in the cabinet for many years, and he is from a noble family. The Yan family was the founding hero of the country who followed the Communist Party to conquer the world. Want to get such a humerus minister of Daqing, who will be inextricably linked with the previous dynasty?

Besides, based on age, Yan Chuyun shouldn't have any contact with the king of subjugation in the previous dynasty that would allow him to set up a plaque to pay homage to him.

Huai Zhou was quick to get started with the internal affairs of the palace. He was already delicate and thoughtful. With Xiao Jinghe's acquiescence, the entire Jingbei Palace did not make things difficult for the new housekeeper who was born in Jinyiwei.

"My lord, this was sent over recently."

When Huai Zhou came, he brought with him the important information that Yang Yanqing had accumulated in the Zhenfu Department when he was in a coma, and presented it with his bow.

What can be sent to Yang Yanqing is all the information that has been screened by Langya. He slowly flipped through it, and suddenly stopped at the page of Yu Liuxuan, and asked Huaizhou: "This Meng Ze is the Minister of Rites. The bastard above?"

"It's this person. For some reason, this Meng Ze has recently spent a lot of money in various shops in the capital, and he has become obsessed with brothels and Chu Pavilions. He has hired Miss Wanning from Su Mengzhai and hasn't returned to the Meng Mansion for several days." Huai Zhou also frowned slightly when he reported back, "Meng's family doesn't care about this bastard, but the bills delivered to the shops are settled very happily, and there is no default in arrears."

Yang Yanqing leaned back in the chair, tapped his slender fingers on the armrest of the chair, with a smile on his lips: "Although Mr. Meng came from a poor family, the Yue family is a well-known imperial merchant, and the silk, satin and rouge business has spread all over Daqing. Naturally, the government is not short of these silvers."

But why would a concubine who had a concubine be tolerant and tolerant in every possible way to this concubine who had never been treated seriously in the past?

"Miss Wanning from Su Mengzhai..." Yang Yanqing repeated the name softly, he should have heard it somewhere, and put the question aside for now, "Has Yu Liuxuan opened the door again?"

"It will open today."

"Send a message to Boss Liu for me, and ask him how he thinks about it. If he has made a decision, what should be discarded should be put on the agenda." Yang Yanqing paused, the smile on his lips faded, and his eyelashes were on his eyelids. A small shadow was cast from below, "There is no perfect way for everything in the world, people, don't be too greedy."

"Also, most of the shops that Steward Wen handed over to you are in a downturn. You go to the chamber of commerce to manage them yourself, and spend some time trying to rebuild them in the future."

"Yes."

"There's nothing else to do, let's go down."

Huaizhou responded again, and retreated in a hurry.

……

Xiao Jinghe came back from the ancestral hall just in time for dinner, ignoring the bowls and dishes placed by the maid, leaned over and sat down next to Yang Yanqing.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his expression, Yang Yanqing motioned for the maid to move the dishes over and then waved them back, and put a piece of cured pork ribs in Xiao Jinghe's bowl: "Here, I won't compete with you this time."

The two of them shared meals when Yang Yanqing first entered the palace, and because the two had different preferences and Xiao Jinghe was often called away temporarily due to military affairs, they hadn't eaten at the same table for half a year.

Xiao Jinghe held the bowl and paused to fill the rice: "So the sir really did it on purpose?"

"I had restrained myself a lot at that time." Yang Yanqing didn't mind telling the truth at this time, "Has anyone told the prince that the prince whose bones were robbed looks very cute?"

Xiao Jinghe looked at the cured pork ribs in the bowl, and instantly felt that it was not very fragrant. It was really unbearable for his wife to press the adjective cute on a seven-foot man like him.

Yang Yanqing took a piece of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and chewed it slowly, and said leisurely: "Why, the prince is only allowed to regard me as a white rabbit, and I am not allowed to say that the prince is cute?"

Xiao Jinghe: "...!" How did this person know again? !

Looking at Xiao Jinghe's expression, Yang Yanqing knew that his guess was probably close to ten, so he snorted softly.

Xiao Jinghe lowered his head to pick up the rice with a guilty conscience, and concentrated on cooking five bowls of rice and sweeping half of the dishes on the table. When he was about to eat, he almost looked up and saw Yang Yanqing put down his chopsticks at some point, propping his head and staring at him with a smile on his face voila.

Different from the annoyance of being looked at before, the corners of the man's lips curled up at this time, and he summarized the conversation between himself and Nanny Fang just now: "The ancestral hall was only refurbished and built during the time of my great-grandfather, it should be at that time. Grandfather knows the identity of the bloodline of King Jingbei..."

All kinds of past events have been submerged in the past. No one knows the ambitions of the deceased and what they were thinking when they did these things, but Nanny Fang clearly remembers two things:

The first thing is that the old King Jingbei didn't have the slightest intention of rebellion. He even once expressed his determination not to marry for life when he learned that he was of the blood of the previous dynasty. But not long after that, the late emperor called old Jingbei Wang returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and was then jointly calculated by the royal family and the cabinet. Only then did Princess Jingbei and Xiao Jinghe, the next King of Jingbei, exist.

And the second thing is a bit intriguing... Aunt Fang was once a secret agent trained by the Yan family, and was once highly valued by Yan Xiuyun, but she fell in love with the old King Jingbei at first sight when she was designing the affair between Miss Yan's family and King Jingbei. .

Originally, the intention of leaving Beijing with the marriage of the old King Jingbei would always disappear, but Yan Xiuyun picked her as the eyeliner for Miss Yan's family, and ordered Aunt Fang to wait for the old King Jingbei to leave Beijing. Find a way to get into the ancestral hall of Prince Jingbei's mansion, and risk taking Yan Xiuyun in.

The ancestral hall that enshrined the royal tablet of the former dynasty originally did not have the king of the subjugated country. It was after Yan Xiuyun left that there was such a tablet dedicated to the king of the subjugated country that clearly stated that the person who erected the tablet was Yan Xiuyun's spiritual tablet.

The time when the old King Jingbei returned to Beijing suddenly and happened to save Xiao Jinghe, it was Aunt Fang who tried her best to send a message to Qingzhou to inform the old King Jingbei about the capital. Suddenly, I realized that the survivors of the Jingbei Army who were left behind for several generations and wanted to restore the former dynasty were actually related to the cabinet ministers.

But at that time, although the old King Jingbei had the military power in his hands, Qingzhou was not his one word, and the cabinet above the court only covered the sky with one hand. In desperation, Xiao Jinghe had to be entrusted to Aunt Fang to serve the then Princess Jingbei. Taking the poison that made him weak, he lived in the palace day by day.

Hearing this, Yang Yanqing felt a little regretful. A few days ago, he shouldn't have been so dazed and only greedy for the body of the person in front of him. He should have explored the details of Qingzhou while the soldiers were exhausted after the war in Qingzhou.

Xiao Jinghe smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Yang Yanqing's soft earlobe: "I don't know how reckless I am acting now? Don't recruit me at that time next time, you will suffer the most."

"What does the lord mean, you dare to touch me on weekdays?" Yang Yanqing squinted at Xiao Jinghe with the end of his eyes, "It's the lord who is uncomfortable, and it's the lord who is making a fuss, and it's the lord who comes out to make sarcastic remarks right now, and it's cheap But it was all taken up by the prince."

Xiao Jinghe had long understood that he couldn't talk about the scholar in front of him in words, so he immediately raised his hand to show his concession, and tried to return to the previous topic: "Aunt Fang suspected that the death of the father in battle was not an accident, because as far as she knew, Yan Xiuyun And most of the old people from the previous dynasty died in that battle, but all the other confidantes of the Jingbei Army survived, this is extremely abnormal, there must be something strange."

"In this way, doesn't it look like the father designed those unclean things out of tricks, and tried his best to leave the prince a clean Jingbei army?" Yang Yanqing's voice was calm with a hint of comfort.

People are always the most complicated existence. Perhaps the old King Jingbei didn't look forward to the arrival of the child at the beginning, but it can be seen from the fact that when he learned of Xiao Jinghe's experience, he would be willing to risk the crime of returning to the capital without permission and choosing to behead him for thousands of miles. It can be seen that the old King Jingbei may not be as indifferent and ruthless to Xiao Jinghe's son as he showed.

An old King Jingbei who has a childish threat to contain him is obviously more important than a young son who was just an incompetent boy at the time, not to mention that the old King Jingbei also took away a group of people and placed them in the Jingbei Army for a long time. With the death of the old King Jingbei, Xiao Jinghe, who was trapped in the capital, was taken back to Qingzhou. No matter how you look at it, it was Xiao Jinghe who finally took advantage of the deal.

I just don't know what King Jingbei did to make Yan Xiuyun let Xiao Jinghe go to Qingzhou.

"That's right." Xiao Jinghe suddenly thought of what Nanny Fang hesitated to say in the end, "Yan Xiuyun doesn't seem to want to restore the former dynasty, but judging from his words and deeds, it seems more like he is holding a kind of belief that he only needs to confirm that the blood of the previous dynasty can continue. The idea of ​​drugging the king and finding those handmaidens was also what he ordered people to do."

"If this king's guess is correct, he and some people in Qingzhou should not be happy to cooperate."

***

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the night sinks like water.

As the emperor's teacher, Yang Yanqing holds a gold medal and can mobilize the forbidden army by order when necessary. It is not difficult to enter the palace at night at this time.

The little emperor, who was woken up shortly after falling asleep, sat up in a daze, and looked at Yang Yanqing who was sitting at the table drinking tea in dark clothes and a cloak: "...Mr. about?"

Seeing Yang Yanqing's momentum, the eunuch guarding the emperor's bedtime served him some tea and backed away with color.

"Your Majesty, are you interested in visiting the imperial temple at night with your ministers?" Yang Yanqing scraped off the tea foam. Although the eunuch who is now with Xiao Yun is not capable enough, he has a good eye for serving people, so he can stay for a while. .

Suspecting that he had heard it wrong, the little emperor was silent for a moment: "What are you spying on at night?"

"Imperial Temple." Yang Yanqing repeated it patiently.

……

Xiao Yun still had a look of erratic and self-doubt when Yang Yanqing and Yang Yanqing walked away for more than half an hour to slander and avoid the palace maids who had come into contact with the palace.

Yang Yanqing asked Xiao Yun to open the imperial family's jade document that had been sealed up on weekdays. The imperial family was the yellow book, and the royal family was the red book. After looking through it for a while, they found the book of the royal family's prince. Yang Yanqing took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it out. Pass it to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun used the candlelight in the imperial temple to identify the names on it, until he saw the last line of "Xiao Yuxing's son Xiao Jinghe", and suddenly realized that this piece of paper was written on the family tree of King Jingbei.

"First copy these here according to the format of the jade seal," Yang Yanqing pointed to the genealogy of the lineage that Chengjun Wang had left free, and took out a jade seal from the other sleeve, "then use this seal to seal .”

With a numb expression, Xiao Yun followed Yang Yanqing's transcription and stamped it, dried the ink on the jade document, and looked suspiciously at the gentleman standing in front of him: "That's all right?"

When did the royal family jade records not be compiled at the end of each year by the officials who knew the map and the officials who repaired the jade documents, and reported to the emperor to compile them together after receiving the consent?

"What was copied was the emperor's handwriting, and what was affixed was the seal of the late emperor. When the time comes, no matter who looks at this jade document, they will not be able to say anything to question it, at most they will say that it is not in accordance with the rules."

"Besides, there is no need to count the actual number of the transcripts." Yang Yanqing lowered his voice, "Neither can they be counted. The bloodlines recorded in the royal jade sheets are all orthodox royal bloodlines, so the compilation must be done with caution. Now His Majesty can't modify it like this. It is for the purpose of proclaiming the imperial decree on the [-]th of the first lunar month, and when the jade official sorts out the genealogy at the end of this year and finds something strange, His Majesty will follow suit and order him to remove the lineage of King Jingbei."

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when the dynasty resumes, they will issue a decree to proclaim Xiao Jinghe, King of Jingbei, as the regent, who will be responsible for supervising the six ministries.But if Yang Yanqing hadn't brought him to the imperial shrine today, Xiao Yun would not have known that the lineage of King Jingbei hadn't been included in the imperial jade certificate, but what does this have to do with the regent's will?

Yang Yanqing bent his fingers and raised his hand and tapped Xiao Yun's little head: "The emperor once had a decree that kings with different surnames are not allowed to take charge of the government. Although the lineage of the king of Jingbei has the surname Xiao, it is not counted if it is not on the imperial jade certificate. Orthodox royal family members are naturally not qualified to be regents. Why haven't you remembered it after copying it so many times?"

After being reminded by Yang Yanqing, Xiao Yun pulled out this one hundred and eighty strict orders issued by the first emperor that had no effect since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, and whispered: "The Daqing Dynasty did not There have been kings with different surnames who are qualified to be regents, so it’s not surprising that I don’t remember that law..."

It's just that looking at it now, how does this law seem to be specially reserved to check and balance King Jingbei's lineage?

The number of first-rank princes who are not on the royal family's jade certificate, counting and counting, the five generations of the Daqing Dynasty are only the Jingbei King.

Xiao Yun was about to nod his head, but halfway through the click, he realized: "Wait... How did the master know that there is no lineage of King Jingbei in the jade document? There is also the private seal of the emperor..." How could it be at the master's place?Didn't he remember that when his father entered the mausoleum, he buried all his private seals?

Yang Yanqing avoided the previous question: "I have nothing to do during the day and imitated one."

Xiao Yun: "..." How many talents do you have that I don't know about?

……

Coming out of the Imperial Temple, Yang Yanqing and Xiao Yun no longer deliberately avoided the court ladies and eunuchs. Xiao Yun yawned lazily and complained: "Sir, I just returned to the capital this afternoon, and the carriage bumped my bones all the way." It hurts, can't you wait all night?"

Yang Yanqing smiled back gently: "It's because I slept too long, I can't wait to come out for a stroll."

Xiao Yun: "..." What can the little emperor do, he can only walk and talk with his husband, who has had enough sleep during the day, in the palace at night.

The two walked slowly towards Xiao Yun's dormitory. The Lantern Festival was approaching, and the moon hanging in the sky tonight was bright and clear, and the moonlight shining down illuminated the path under their feet.

Yang Yanqing suddenly asked Xiao Yun: "What do you think of Shen Xiangliu, Your Majesty?"

"Him?" Xiao Yun thought for a while, "He is a very smooth person, but he has a high spirit, but I don't know if his ability is worthy of his heart."

"He is the son of the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War. In the case of King Zhan, the evidence of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War came from him. The farce of the Shen family is more or less known in the family, but most of the family focused on the fundamentals. His behavior has been criticized by the aristocratic family." Yang Yanqing tilted his head, with deep meaning in his eyes, "He was born in a noble family, but he was not welcomed by the aristocratic family, and then he was living in the dusty place of the people, seeing all kinds of things in the world. Such a capable person Dealing smoothly with aristocratic families, and being able to mobilize people from all schools and schools, is a rare talent."

"Sir, do you mean... the inner court?"

When the first emperor passed away, the imperial edict ordered the concubines in the harem to be repatriated, and the rest of the concubines were buried together. This is how no one in the harem took charge of the palace affairs when Xiao Yun succeeded. .During the five years of Xiao Yun's reign, he changed his personal eunuch almost every year. Fortunately, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a knowledgeable person, and his management has been passable in these years.

Xiao Yun once talked with Yang Yanqing about the issue of the inner court. At that time, Yang Yanqing only said that the time was not yet ripe. The eunuchs in the inner court were allowed to be like a mess all these years, and people outside the palace could buy and sell news at will. If there is a shortage of talents around Xiao Yun, it is really only This side of the inner court.

Xiao Yun knew that since Yang Yanqing made this proposal, he must be [-]% sure, but this matter is not considered a major event for any man, so he couldn't help hesitating: "Mr. Shen is willing to enter the palace?"

"After a few days, I will bring him into the palace, and His Majesty can ask him personally." Yang Yanqing didn't mean to tear up other people's privacy, his eyes were light, "But with Shen Xiangliu Zhineng, alone The inner court is really too condescending."

Yang Yanqing thought of the bright and gorgeous person who only acted according to his own ideas and never cared about the world, and couldn't help laughing: "He has always been thoughtful, and he is only a friend of a gentleman, so he can't talk to him. Your Majesty may as well ask him, What do you think of the current situation in the court?"

"Maybe there will be some different opinions."

The author has something to say:

In fact, this is where I want to write the "husband and wife enter the house and live in harmony, go out and go to court independently" hahaha, I will try my best to write the next volume this morning [clench fist]
