Chapter 11: Dreams Turn into Embers

Autumn turns to spring, and the peach blossoms bloom again. You Hongyin likes to go back to Shenyou Garden as soon as spring comes, because he usually does not interfere with the specific affairs of the Prince's Mansion, and does not meet with Sun Yifang and his staff, so he goes out It doesn't affect you at all for a few months.However, Sun Yifang has had some deeper views on the relationship between the aristocratic family and the court in recent days, hoping to hear some opinions from You Hongyin, so they stick together and live together.

"His Royal Highness Zhao guards the Prince's Mansion alone, and His Highness is not afraid of her being angry." You Hongyin said.

Zhao Han and Sun Yifang used to have a flat relationship as husband and wife, but after rectifying the inside and outside of the prince's mansion together, they probably have things to do together and a common language, and their relationship has become increasingly close.

Sun Yifang smiled: "Mr. treats women so tenderly, why doesn't he want to start a family?" He seemed to have thought of something, hesitated and hesitated, and then asked, "Could it be that Mr. is like my second brother?"

You Hongyin couldn't laugh or cry: "Why does Your Highness have such an idea? It's just that I haven't met the right person."

Sun Yifang reluctantly accepted this rhetoric.

"Sir, now I have fully mastered the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and I have been silent for a while, what should I do next?" Sun Yifang asked while looking at the lotus lantern in the lake.

The dinner for the two was held in the small building in the center of the lake in Shenyou Garden. Through the roof, you can clearly see the bright moon and stars hanging in the sky, and you can also see the many lotus water lanterns specially built on the lake.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient. I'm afraid the next move will be to wait patiently for an opportunity." You Hongyin said.

Sun Yifang thinks that counselors probably like this kind of unfathomable style. Mr. Wang Ke also likes to tease people's appetites. He is very patient. Hearing this remark, he also resists his impatience and plans to walk his own path step by step and be himself. things.

Because the spring rain did not fall, the emperor followed the proposal of the Ministry of Rites and held a Saji Festival on the day of Grain Rain, accompanied by the prince.

The so-called Sheji, She is the god of earth, and Ji is the god of grain, so this kind of sacrifice is generally used to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people, and the harvest of the grain, which is more grand.

The altar has been built as early as the founding of the country. It is not far from the outskirts of Kyoto. It is paved with five-color soil. However, the sacrificial offerings must be made of Tailao, that is, cattle, sheep, and pigs. At the same time, the bells and drums are ringing, and the sacrifices are performed with songs and dances.

Moreover, this kind of sacrificial activity is not just the activity of the emperor alone. At the same time, the people also need to stop working and prepare to sacrifice together to pray for good weather.

When You Hongyin heard the news, there was still more than a month before Guyu. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up this opportunity without making any further arrangements.

The ancients paid great attention to sacrifices, and if something went wrong, it would be over immediately if it was found out. It is better not to do this kind of thing that is not directly proportional to the benefit and effort.

But it doesn't mean that everything can't be done this time.

It is only natural for the prince to accompany the sacrifice, but if the prince has some minor problems, I am afraid there will be a good show.Of course, You Hongyin was just doing this kind of thing tentatively. If he succeeds, he will get some benefits, but if he fails, it doesn't matter. Moreover, he will not let this matter go to Sun Yifang's hands, and he will arrange it himself.

In fact, he has been making other preparations recently, and the next step is considered to be a relatively important step. He also hopes that through this step, Sun Yifang's power can be further expanded, so he has spent a lot of thought.The people I sent out recently have obtained detailed information, and this step can be arranged after the ceremony.If the prince has some minor problems during the ceremony, it can just blur the focus and make things go more smoothly.

In a blink of an eye, the Grain Rains arrived, but there was still no rain in the sky. Without this spring rain, this year's spring plowing may suffer. Both the court and the people attach great importance to this festival. All the procedures of the Ministry of Rites have been arranged. In addition to Kyoto, people in other areas also made social cakes. People in a village set up a stage, worshiped the earth temple together, and sang and danced, hoping that God would appreciate the food.

"What? The prince is sick?" Emperor Sun Ren frowned: "Have the people from the Tai Hospital seen it?"

It was the prince's personal attendant who came to deliver the news, lying on the ground tremblingly: "Return to your majesty, imperial physician Ouyang and imperial physician Zhao have both seen it, it is... the prince is allergic to a single spice in the incense in the residence of a concubine, There are many red rashes on the face, except for the unattractive appearance, there is nothing wrong with the body."

Sun Ren didn't want to cause bad luck before the sacrificial ceremony started, he still valued this ceremony very much, and he didn't have time to deal with it, so he said directly: "Let the prince recuperate well, the ceremony must not be lost, this He won't have to go this time."

The prince's attendant immediately got up and went back to tell the prince that the emperor was not angry.

In the end, Sun Ren had to complete the sacrifice by himself.I don't know if it's because the ritual officer who fixed the day is good at astronomy, or it's true that this kind of sacrifice has a kind of magical power. Two hours after the sacrifice, the sun was still in the sky, and the spring rain fell continuously, which also made people feel sick. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And the convalescing crown prince directly got angry at his favored concubine.

This concubine is the girl Cai who fell in love with the prince in the peach blossom forest. This girl is handsome, tender and charming. She was pregnant with a child before. Although she has not sat down, the prince still loves her very much. One night I went to sleep with my little wife.Who would have thought what kind of fun this woman was talking about, she just changed a different kind of spice, so that she couldn't even go out, and she even missed such an important ceremony.

The prince, who felt that women could not be pampered, decided to neglect Miss Cai for a while.

The prince didn't think much about it, he just felt that his luck was not very good.But You Hongyin had already done the first day of junior high school, how could those guys from the aristocratic family not do the fifteenth day, after the ceremony, some rumors started to arise.

The Sun family is now a royal family, but it used to be a large Jianye family, one of the aristocratic families, so the emperor Sun Ren really knew the aristocratic family too well, but although he knew that these were caused by the aristocratic family, he did not intervene. After all, in the future It was the crown prince who was confronting the family. If he didn't practice at all, the crown prince might not be able to sit firmly in this position.

Just when the emperor watched coldly and the prince didn't care, Sun Yifang went to the court again to play, hoping to reopen the Silk Road, promote the recovery of people's livelihood and the income level of the people.

In fact, even if Sun Yifang didn't mention this step, according to You Hongyin's observations, some high officials in the court would have to mention it. Recently, Cao Qing, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, the current head of the Cao family, was reading some articles about the Western Regions. Information, there should be such a plan.Now the foreign tribes have moved farther westward, and their influence has been greatly reduced. However, the Western Regions such as Chenla, Tianzhu, and Pyu have been established for many years and are still stable, and there is indeed a need for trade.

You must know that trade and envoy exchanges are also important means for a country to show its prosperity and culture.

The previous dynasty was in turmoil, and the Silk Road was in the hands of foreigners in the grassland. Now that the new dynasty has been smooth, it is inevitable to restart the Silk Road.

Even though several officials in the DPRK and China already had such intentions, it was different when Sun Yifang proposed it. This fully demonstrated his ability and level, and showed that he has a very forward-looking strategic vision.

But this time, giving Sun Yifang fame is not the point, the point is to determine who should be responsible for reopening the Silk Road.Of course, this matter is just beginning now, and it is impossible to have any regulations immediately. After receiving the appreciation of the emperor and several courtiers modestly, Sun Yifang went into the harem to visit Concubine Hui with great filial piety.

Concubine Hui was an old man in Sun Ren's mansion back then. She was about the same age as Sun Ren and had long since stopped serving at bedtime. However, Sun Ren still preferred to come here to sit and sit. There was more affection between the two of them.

"Why are you free?" Concubine Hui never cared much about her two sons, but this was once.In the past, the two sons both acquiesced in the status of the prince, and they had no ambitions, and she was unwilling to force her son to do things she didn't want to do for her own wish.Now that the youngest son has such thoughts, even if he never said it clearly, how could he deceive her mother, so in recent years, she has been very concerned about Sun Yifang's movements.

"Mother and Concubine, I brought up the matter of reopening the Silk Road in the hall today." Sun Yifang was very relaxed in Concubine Hui's place, and he was not polite when he entered the door. I brought it up because I want my second brother to do it."

Although Sun Heyan now has a name in the Ministry of War, he actually doesn't do anything and is considered to be at home. It would be a lie to say that Concubine Hui is not in a hurry.Concubine Hui felt that it would be good for the eldest son to do other things even if he did not join the army, lead the army, or hold real power. But now that his sexual orientation is open, the emperor can only stay at home if he doesn't speak up.

"Here, Fang'er told me that she wanted me to do something. The harem is not allowed to meddle in political affairs." Concubine Hui asked.

"Mother and concubine help the second brother to beg the father, and let the father arrange something for the second brother." Sun Yifang said: "The other things will be considered by the father himself." A mother begged her husband to arrange things for the child , so as not to raise and useless people, this is really normal.

"Okay, I'll try." Concubine Hui agreed without hesitation.

The mother and son talked for a while, Sun Yifang also tasted a pastry made by Concubine Hui's new chef, and thought it was very suitable for Mr. Wang Ke's taste, so he specially ordered some more to take back, and was scolded by Concubine Hui in a funny way Brat.

"Your daughter-in-law doesn't have to come to see me recently," Concubine Hui said before leaving, "She will take care of her when she is pregnant. Take care of all the messy women in your house. The child born by your daughter-in-law is your real child." It should be taken seriously, you know."

"I know, I know, since you have a grandson, you don't love me, concubine mother, you are worried about that brat gone, he is still in the stomach, so what do you know." Sun Yifang acted coquettishly.

After sending the youngest son away, Concubine Hui returned to the side hall for a lunch break, but said in a barely audible voice: "Fang Yaoguang, I'm afraid it won't be you who will have the last laugh."

Fang Yaoguang, the boudoir name of the late empress, the only daughter of the Fang family's direct line, has outstanding talent and reputation.

Back then, the Fang family had a unique vision, and Fang Yaoguang and Sun Ren were married in the womb. Later, when Sun Ren became emperor, Fang Yaoguang was the natural queen.But for Concubine Hui, the love between their husband and wife is a mockery of her. You know, she is also the first daughter of a family, and she is inferior to others in her talent and beauty. What she lacks is a family that is completely for her sake and a trace of luck. .

But the world is unpredictable, even if the coffin is closed, it cannot be concluded.
