On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Empress Dowager Zhou celebrated her new move.
Half a month after the construction of Qingning Palace, after it was dried and smelled, Zhu Youtang also wanted to express his filial piety and let his imperial grandmother live back in this carefully built building before the Chinese New Year. Inside the palace.
Zhang Zhou was also invited to attend the ceremony that day.
The emperor and his wife were also present, with Zhu Houzhao following behind, just because Zhu Xiurong was left in Kunning Palace at a young age, plus eunuchs such as the eunuch and other eunuchs, who only accompanied the Empress Dowager Zhou to move. Yes, there are hundreds of people.
"Emperor, you are determined. In just a short time, Qingning Palace has been renovated."
The Queen Mother Zhou stood at the door of Qingning Palace and smiled at Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang said, "It's all Bingkuan who worked hard, and Qingning Palace was completed under his supervision."
"Okay." Empress Dowager Zhou looked aside again Zhang Zhou, who was not far away, nodded slightly as if he was also very satisfied with Zhang Zhou, "Emperor, if you have merit, you will be rewarded."
"The emperor's grandmother said it is true. My grandson will help you in"
Zhu Youtang looked extremely filial and personally helped the old lady go inside.
Queen Zhang on the side saw this scene. Although she did not show any expression directly, Zhang Zhou had noticed the vague impatience and disgust in her eyes.
This woman will be jealous of whomever her husband treats well.
Inside Qingning Palace.
As soon as everyone came in, they noticed something different.
Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Why is it so warm and hot here? Take off your clothes."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao took off his coat and threw it to Liu Jin who was following.
Zhu Youtang said with a straight face, "No nonsense."
Zhu Houzhao ignored it and ran directly to the radiator hanging nearby, looking at it curiously.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was also very happy and asked, "Emperor, this is the heater you mentioned earlier."
"Yes, Grandmother." Zhu Youtang came in person two days ago After the inspection and knowing the specific situation, he took up the task of explaining, "Grandma, look, the hot water flows in through the copper pipe next to it. It's very hot when you put your hand on it."
Empress Dowager Zhou I went there and tried it myself, put my hand on it, and quickly pulled it back, "It's a little hot."
The newly added heater in the palace, the person responsible for boiling water didn't dare to slack off at all, he could cook as hot as he wanted. .
Zhang Zhou followed him in and estimated that the temperature in the room had soared to thirty degrees, while it was freezing cold outside. The temperature contrast was so great that it was no wonder that Zhu Houzhao had to take off his clothes as soon as he came in.
"Open the window and get some air."
The Queen Mother Zhou herself couldn't stand it.
She couldn't just take off her clothes like her great-grandson, so she had to find another way.
Then Xiao Jing hurried over and ordered someone to open a few side windows.
The Empress Dowager Zhou said, "It's really not easy, Emperor. If you do this, won't you waste firewood?"
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile, and then turned around and replied, "Don't worry, Grandma Huang, I have asked, this is more economical than using charcoal for heating, and it is not even half of the previous materials. ”
In the past, charcoal was lit for heating, and the air was heated directly with the temperature of the charcoal fire. Now, ordinary charcoal can be used to boil water, which improves the utilization rate.
"That's good."
The Empress Dowager Zhou knew that her grandson now admired diligence and thrift in governing the country, and she could not take the lead in waste.
Zhang Zhou’s move not only made her feel warm, but also fit in with the royal family’s theme of frugality. Of course she was happy.
Zhang Zhou thought on the sidelines, how much money is that little charcoal worth? The set of copper pipes alone can be enough for you to burn charcoal for more than ten years
But it’s okay, just treat it as It is to help me cultivate talents.
Zhang Zhou used the matter of making copper pipes to contact the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. These people could not only help cast copper pipes, but also cast other metal accessories. Zhang Zhou could be said to have discovered something. Among the talents he can use are Xiao Jing, who can already help him complete the research and development of some castings.
It’s a pity that these people are all eating royal food, and the craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation.
The craftsman family cannot split up or change jobs.
Many people have long wanted to leave the craftsman's household. Zhang Zhou also thought that he could take advantage of this and attract this group of people. This would not only solve the problem of household registration transfer, but also provide high salaries, which would surely attract the most people. The top group of people.
"Father, it's so nice here. My son's East Palace also needs heating."
Zhu Houzhao heard that his father's introduction there was so good, and he thought that he usually gets cold at night. Shivering and smoky, of course I wanted to do something.
"Nonsense"
Zhu Youtang was showing his filial piety here, and there was a young boy here who told him what unfilial piety meant.
The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "Emperor, don't blame the prince. He is a child and has a straightforward temper. Come on, let the Ai family take a look."
"Okay."
p>Zhu Houzhao pretended to be innocent and cute and ran to the old lady.
Even Zhu Houzhao knew that this imperial grandmother doted on him even more than her parents, so she could act cute and coquettish in front of the old lady.
The Empress Dowager Zhou touched her grandson's head and said with a smile, "The Ai family is getting older. When the Ai family is no longer around, you can live here, okay?"
"Uh" No matter how nonsense Zhu Houzhao was, it was clear that this was a question that could not be answered casually.
Zhu Youtang said, "The emperor's grandmother is a thousand years old."
It is said that a hundred years of life is not a few years, but a thousand years.
The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed, "People must know their destiny and cannot force it. Now the Ai family is surrounded by four generations, and they are content. The Ai family's only extravagant thought is to see the prince grow up in the future. , to see the prince get married and have children, so that the Ai family can have five generations living under one roof."
Hearing this, Zhu Youtang and his son had no reaction.
Queen Zhang’s expression on the other side changed instantly.
As an outsider, Zhang Zhou saw it most clearly. The old lady didn't say anything about Queen Zhang, her granddaughter-in-law, but she used her strength to beat Queen Zhang "to pieces."
The Ai family can’t persuade you and your wife. I don’t count on you and your wife, but on your great-grandson’s head office
Zhu Youtang seemed to be unable to hear anything and said with a smile, “Grandma Huang must have You can see it. Prince, hurry up and clear the cushion for the Empress Dowager, Bingkuan, come and sit down too.”
It seems like a harmonious family, four generations of grandparents, although one generation did not show up. , but it’s still a gathering.
Zhang Zhou felt that he should not be in this kind of place.
However, Zhang Zhou also found it quite interesting to see the overt and covert fights between the royal family, especially his grandmother and his granddaughter-in-law.
After Queen Mother Zhou sat upright, she finally took off her cloak.
Because it’s too hot.
Then he chatted with his grandson as if gossiping were commonplace, and basically ignored Queen Zhang.
It then led to a seemingly "alternative" topic. "The Ai family heard that recently, a talented woman appeared in the capital and wrote a poem that was widely read. For a time, Luoyang paper was expensive. "
"Really?"
Zhu Youtang said in his heart, I am the emperor, so naturally I will not know about this kind of thing.
The Empress Dowager Zhou stretched out her hand, and Jiang Lu next to her took out a piece of paper. The Empress Dowager Zhou handed it to Zhu Youtang and said, "Emperor, look at it. The Ai family never thought that the Ming Dynasty could produce such a thing." A talented woman, gambling on books makes the fragrance of tea splash away. At that time, she only said that it was ordinary. This sentence alone is comparable to Li Yian."
Zhu Youtang took the paper and looked at the words on it, a little confused. mind.
Zhang Zhou was observing Queen Zhang.
Old lady, do you want to be more obvious?
Your grandson is a fool and doesn’t understand anything when it comes to matters between men and women, but your grandson-in-law doesn’t understand. No matter how talented she is, can't she tell that you intend to praise this talented woman and recommend her to the emperor? "The Ai family doesn't know much about her, so please give her a taste." Empress Dowager Zhou still wanted to ask.
"What poems are there, can I read them?"
Zhu Houzhao, with a naughty mentality, felt that wherever he went, he should be the focus of attention, but now he is talking about He wanted to join in the fun of such a talented poet.
In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, isn't it just "flying down three thousand feet, sharing the beauty of the moon for thousands of miles"
I also understand poetry
After reading it, Zhu Youtang , nodded and said, "It's very good. There is sadness in the elegance, but I don't know why she has such a mentality."
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
As a little girl who has never left the government, she has never experienced the hardships of the world, let alone the hatred of her country, her family, and her lover’s death. How could Li Qingzhao be in such a state of mind to write such a poem?
Looking at the poem, it seems that he really likes drinking. Is he really trying to imitate Li Yian?
The Queen Mother Zhou said, "This girl is the daughter of Lin Hengda, the wine sacrificer of Beiguozijian.", it’s a coincidence that she came to the palace a few days ago, and the Ai family met her in the back garden of the palace. She was born with a beautiful face, gentle and elegant appearance.”
I just wanted to say, Your Majesty, how about you accept her? Come into the palace and be a concubine
The Ai family has already checked it for you, it’s okay
"Grandmother, can we say something else"
Empress Zhang finally couldn't help it, and interrupted Empress Dowager Zhou's further discussion on the matter in a "fairly polite" tone.
Empress Zhang suddenly interrupted, making the scene somewhat awkward. Even Zhu Youtang didn't expect that his wife would be so straightforward, and then he seemed to realize that the emperor's grandmother was trying to protect his match.
The Queen Mother Zhou's face suddenly turned dark. The black cat hiding in the dark behind the room seemed to have a black line that could burst out at any time.
But because her grandson was still there, she couldn't have an attack.
Zhang Zhouxin said, here it comes.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw this scene of the struggle between the grandmother and the grandson's wife. No matter how awesome and filial you Xiaozong is, even if you have no mother-in-law and no conflict with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, But this is not the case.
Being a filial son and a virtuous grandson, but also wanting to have a good relationship between husband and wife
You think you are a saint
Zhang Zhou took advantage of this moment and laughed. He said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can show you this poem?"
Zhu Youtang seemed to have finally found the steps, and said with a forced smile, "Emperor Grandma, Bingkuan's poetry is not low. Previously, A peach blossom poem is also widely circulated in the capital. Bingkuan, please take a look."
As he said this, he asked Dai Yi to pass the paper to Zhang Zhou. He also gave Zhang Zhou a "come out quickly to resolve the embarrassing situation" look.
Zhang Zhou took the paper, glanced at it, and then put it down, saying, "In my opinion, this poem is a bit meaningless. "
The Empress Dowager Zhou frowned and looked at Zhang Zhou and said, "Bingkuan, why do you have such an opinion?"
Zhang Zhou said, "The second young lady of the Lin family has not left the cabinet and has not experienced the world, how can she do this?" I have such a deep understanding of life, separation and death. I think this poem does not seem to be written by a woman, but it seems to be written by a man who misses his deceased wife. He has never experienced it, so how can he know at that time"
"You"
p>After hearing this, Queen Mother Zhou felt that Zhang Zhou’s words were reasonable.
But she was still a little annoyed.
