The person coming was Zhu Jinghong, who was walking into the palace gate alone.
Because he was attending the banquet, he was dressed very formally today, including a regimental dragon robe and a Yishan crown.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. It can be said that no one in the world does not know you.
"Meet Your Highness!"
"Meet Your Highness!"
The envoys and generals encountered along the way saluted Zhu Jinghong very humbly.
When the Crown Prince and Prince Rui arrived just now, although everyone had the same behavior, there were still differences.
For the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, these people respected their identities, but for Zhu Jinghong, they respected him personally.
Similarly compared to the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, Zhu Jinghong himself was much calmer in the face of these aggressive envoys, with a demeanor of treating everyone as nothing.
Magnitude is a very imaginary thing, but it really exists in Zhu Jinghong.
In the small window on the second floor of Wuying Hall, Zhu Xianming smiled unconsciously when he saw Zhu Jinghong walking among the envoys, which was better than taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard.
He also saw how much these envoys respected his son, and that the prince and Prince Rui were far out of reach.
Xin Qiji said that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. How could Zhongmou be as good as my son when he was young... Zhu Xianming said secretly in his heart.
Finally feeling better, Zhu Xianming turned around and prepared to go downstairs. The banquet was about to arrive.
Outside Wuying Hall, Zhu Jinghong finally walked to the Danbi Stone and met with his two brothers.
"Thirteenth brother, why are you late?" Zhu Jingyuan asked.
"I'm feeling unwell, so I'm late!"
"In that case, you can explain the situation to your father and have a good rest at home!" Zhu Jingyuan stepped forward and said with concern.
"I said... the old man doesn't believe it!" Zhu Jinghong said, spreading his hands.
At this moment, the sound of drums sounded, which meant that the emperor was about to ascend the throne, so everyone returned to their respective positions, and the scene suddenly became silent.
"Your Majesty is enthroned!"
When the emperor's guard of honor walked out of Wuying Hall, officials from Honglu Temple shouted: "Kneel down!"
Scene No matter the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty or the envoys from all over the world, they all consciously knelt on the ground when they heard this word.
Although the sun is shining brightly today, it has just begun spring after all, and the ground is still extremely cold.
Even so, the heads of hundreds of people at the scene were still stuck to the floor.
"My (foreign) ministers bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Although Zhu Jinghong has little education, But after experiencing the current scene, the poem "All nations worship the crown" came to mind.
This is what a man should do... Zhu Jinghong was extremely excited.
Everyone pays homageAt that time, Zhu Xianming had already sat on the dragon chair and was looking down calmly.
"Pingsheng!"
He said these two words lightly, and then the officials of Honglu Temple asked everyone to stand up, and then directed everyone to return to their places.
There are established procedures for giving banquets in Wuying Palace. Especially when the emperor appears in person, the relevant ceremonies will be more cumbersome and formal.
So although this was a banquet, there was very little time for eating, but a lot of wine.
Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the banquet became much more relaxed, and everyone could go their separate ways.
Zhu Jinghong wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not allow it. Envoys from the Jurchen tribes, the northwest tribes, and Tibetan envoys came to him one after another to toast.
During the whole process, Zhu Jinghong used tea instead of wine as an excuse for being unwell, but no one felt slighted.
"Thirteenth Master, I'm here to toast you too!"
Standing in front of Zhu Jinghong is Liu Fang, the current deputy governor of the Northwest Counter-Rebellion Administration.
"Captain Liu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you look a lot more haggard!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
"I am really ashamed that I am so stupid and idiotic that the war in the northwest is advancing anxiously!"
In front of Zhu Jinghong, Liu Fang really felt ashamed. Compared with Zhu Jinghong leading troops in the northwest, At that moment, he and Shi Guangzhu were really fighting to a pulp.
In fact, Liu Fang also thought that if Zhu Jinghong had always led the troops in the northwest, the war against the rebellion would have ended long ago.
But Liu Fang just thought about these words. He guessed that the emperor wanted to suppress Zhu Jinghong, so he would never say something that violated taboos.
"You are the only one coming back?"
"Captain Shi is still commanding the troops on the front line. I have returned to Beijing specifically to report on your work to His Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Yes!" Zhu Jinghong nodded, and then drank tea with Liu Fang.
Just when he was about to say something more, a eunuch came to him, bent his waist and said: "Thirteenth Master, the Lord has asked you to come over!"
Zhu Jinghong turned to look As expected, Zhu Jingyuan had already walked down from the Danbi Stone.
In order to show his deep love for the emperor and his son in front of the six ministries, nine ministers and envoys from various countries, Zhu Jingyuan stayed on the side of the throne and controlled the emperor for more than ten minutes.
In the end, Zhu Xianming couldn't bear it anymore, so he directly asked Zhu Jingyuan to meet with foreign ministers.
This scene was all seen by the prince, so he smiled brightly and started talking to the ministers again.
It is said that Zhu Jinghong went up the imperial steps, walked to the imperial case with his head lowered, and then bowed to the emperor honestly.
"I was playing polo yesterday, but I'm sick today...what do you mean?" Zhu Xianming asked with a cold face.
"Um...this...the sky is unpredictable..."
Before Zhu Jinghong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Xianming: "I think you are daring.Even I dare to despise you! "
At this time, Zhu Jinghong raised his head and said directly: "Dad... don't falsely accuse your son. The child is indeed unwell! "
"But even so, with your elder's will, my son got up from the bed, and he never dared to complain at all! "
Seeing that this guy was so confident, Zhu Xianming no longer wanted to talk nonsense with him, and immediately asked: "What about that Liang Yi? "
Liang Yi was the boy that Zhu Yunsheng fell in love with. Zhu Xianming suddenly mentioned this man at this moment, which can be said to have made a big turn.
"This... son doesn't either. So clear! ”
“You guys played together yesterday, and I still have some impressions!
"I have only met him twice. My son is really not familiar with him. If dad wants to know the details of this person, just send Dongchang or Jinyiwei to check it out!" ”
In fact, Dongchang has already investigated everything, and Zhu Xianming is very clear about the situation of the Liang family.
The problem is that what is on paper is cold and hard to understand. A person still has to rely on contact.
“I’ve met him twice, how is this person? "Zhu Xianming asked in a deep voice.
"Some abilities are better than others! "Zhu Jinghong answered very conservatively.
"How is your character? "
"Dad, who can say this clearly..."
After complaining like this, Zhu Jinghong took two steps closer, and then lowered his voice and said: "You don't really want to choose this Boy? "
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianming sighed, turned around and replied helplessly: "Sheng'er won't let go after she bites him to death! "
"Since ancient times, marriage matters have been subject to the orders of the parents. Sheng'er is still young and does not know the importance..."
Before Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, the emperor stared at him closely. Then he shut up.
At this time, he remembered that he was not qualified to say anything about "parents' orders". After all, he resisted the order in public two years ago.
"You Zai. Check more, if it's possible...it's not impossible! "Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice.
"It's just that the title is a little low. Liang Yi's father has military exploits in the northwest, so it's not impossible to give his family one or two levels of title! "
It is much more difficult to be promoted to one or two levels of title than to be promoted to two levels. It is a huge leap for the Liang family.
"Yeah! ”
“Reply to me about this matter as soon as possible! "
"Yes! "
As he responded with his mouth, Zhu Jinghong sighed in his heart. Zhu Yunsheng is really loved and can make the stubborn old man in front of him compromise.
Picked up the teacup and took a sip. , Zhu Xianming asked again: "What are the qualities of the two polo teams that Old Fourteen and the others have? ”
“It’s okay! ”
“Then let the two of them compete in the polo match and set a lottery... The one who scores the most goals will get a big reward! "
"My son will tell them when he gets back! ”
While replying, Zhu Jinghong was also thinking about the so-called lottery. Did the old man want to see Liang Yi’s true nature?thing.
If this guy is really good and can score the most goals in the polo competition, the emperor might really take a high look at him.
Glancing at Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming continued: "I will go to Linyuan for spring hunting in a few days. Don't do what I did today again!"
"Dad, spring hunting is really good." No matter how hard my son tries, no one can compare to me!"
"You think I'm negotiating with you?"
"My son just obeys!"
"Go away!"
"Yes!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong was about to turn around, and then heard Zhu Xianming say: "Just leaving like this? You didn't even drink a glass of wine ?”
It is indeed very rude to not propose a toast when you reach the royal level. At worst, it is a breach of etiquette before the emperor, and at worst, it can be classified as “disrespectful”.
"I wish my emperor a happy mood and abundant financial resources!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Xianming almost burst out and secretly cursed this boy for being stupid. How could these words be so great? Can say it clearly.
"Rolling, rolling..."
Zhu Jinghong went down the imperial steps, and then Zhu Jingyuan came over and asked what the old man said.
Zhu Jinghong casually prevaricated, and then he was pulled aside by the prince.
After the two brothers had two drinks, the prince told Zhu Jinghong some news. It turned out that someone in the court wanted to impeach him.
It is normal for someone to impeach someone, and being specially reminded by the prince, it is obvious that the scale this time is not small.
According to what the prince said, it was mainly Lao Liu who was causing trouble this time, but Zhu Jinghong would not believe all these words. After all, the prince might also be secretly fueling the trouble.
Soon after another half an hour passed, the banquet came to an end, and everyone respectfully sent the emperor off.
The three princes followed the emperor and left. The courtiers present dispersed. Everyone gained something from this banquet.
After the banquet, the envoys would contact each other privately to discuss matters of interest to themselves.
After sending the emperor back to the palace, the prince and Prince Rui each reported the situation, while Zhu Jinghong went to Kunning Palace and told the queen what the emperor had said.
The queen was noncommittal about this, but just asked Zhu Jinghong to pay more attention and let him know that the queen was also convinced.
Sitting in Zhu Yunsheng’s study in the east hall of Kunning Palace, taking the tea cup from Xiangyun, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Third sister... you are really capable. You are the best for both parents." It makes sense!"
Zhu Yunsheng was writing. He didn't even raise his eyes when he heard this, and said softly: "My parents are reasonable and much better than my brother."
"You! What’s so good about that kid that you fell in love with him at first sight?”
“Because...what does this have to do with you? Brother Thirteen, please stop asking about my personal affairs!”
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "The old man asked me to check for you. Since it has nothing to do with me... then I might as well just ignore it!"
At this time Zhu YunSheng put down his pen and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Thirteen, how could I mean this? I just said the wrong thing. Don't be angry!"
"There is nothing in the cup. Water!"
"I'll get you some tea!" Zhu Yunsheng stood up immediately.
"I'd better go!"
Xiang Yun came over and took the cup directly from Zhu Jinghong's hand regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
Turn around and add more tea from the coffee table, Xiangyun handed the tea cup to Zhu Jinghong and said with a smile: "Thirteenth Master, the princess's affairs... I leave it to you!"
"Look... Xiangyun is still sensible!"
"Thirteenth Master, please stop talking about these things, the important thing is the princess's business!"
I blew it! Blowing the hot air in the cup, Zhu Jinghong suddenly stopped when he was about to drink. Then he looked at Xiangyun and asked, "Girl Yun, are you fifteen this year?"
"So what?"
p>“It’s time to think about lifelong events!” Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong deeply, Xiangyun turned away and said, "I don't think about it!"
"Why?"
"I just want to accompany you. Just follow the princess!"
"But Sheng'er is getting married, is it possible that you will go with the bride?"
As he spoke, Zhu Jinghong took a sip of tea, but he didn't know. This was hot water that had only been boiled for a long time. It was so hot that Zhu Jinghong spurted out and spilled tea on his clothes.
Xiang Yun originally wanted to quarrel with him, but when he saw this situation, he quickly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it on his clothes.
"Thirteenth Master, are you okay?"
Xiangyun is old after all. At this moment when the two of them were in close contact, her face was filled with red clouds. Gradually, The movements of his hands also slowed down.
Zhu Yunsheng, who was watching, noticed something strange about Xiangyun, which made her immediately feel bad, so she quickly came over and pulled Xiangyun away. < /p>
Xiang Yun nodded, and then walked out of the room.
At this time, her mood was very complicated. She wanted to escape from here, but at the same time she was reluctant to leave.
What Zhu Jinghong just said touched the depths of her heart, that is, how should she deal with herself after Zhu Yunsheng gets married?
Go home? This was a matter of course, but Xiangyun had no expectations for it.
After leaving the palace, I sat on the corridor and looked up at the sky. The Xiangyun was lost in thought for a moment.
In a trance, above the clouds in the sky, she actually saw Zhu Jinghong's smiling face.
"Thirteenth Master...I'm afraid I'm dazzled!"
Looking at the charming girl in front of him, Zhu Jinghong reminded: "Girl Yun, you are not dazzled!"
p>
Hearing this voice, Xiangyun took a closer look, but he didn't know when Zhu Jinghong came in front of him.
“Ah…Master Thirteen, why are you here?Got it! Xiangyun stood up quickly.
Seeing her shy and shy look, Zhu Jinghong smiled even more and said, "Silly girl, hurry up and enter the palace. Sheng'er is waiting for you." !
"Oh...I'll go right away!"
Afraid that Zhu Jinghong would see through his mind, Xiangyun bowed and quickly turned around and left.
Watching Xiangyun disappear into the hall, Zhu Jinghong shook his head slightly and found that this girl was still so interesting.
