Bully

On June [-]th, it is suitable for marriage and sacrifice.

Ming Chuan was dressed in vermilion auspicious clothes, sitting upright in the main hall of Zichen Palace.

The maid helped Jinghua into the palace, and saw that her head was full of emerald jewels, her phoenix crown and rosy beard, and her smiling face was three points more beautiful than Chunhua.The red wedding gown on her body was embroidered with a golden phoenix, almost as if it was on fire.

Walking to the front of the hall, Jinghua kowtowed and kowtowed upright.

Ming Chuan was a little sad, "I still remember the last time this scene was when Queen Jing Rong got married, and you will get married in a blink of an eye."

Jinghua kowtowed, and said: "I have been in the palace for many years, and Jinghua will always remember the elder brother's care."

Mingchuan didn't say anything more, and raised his hand to tell her to stand up.

"Today is a good day for you, don't say it's sad. You go, if he treats you badly, I will make the decision for you."

The large and exquisite wedding car drove out from Xing'anmen all the way, and the red tents on both sides of the road sent each other off. The princess's dowry almost filled Chang'an Street, and people on both sides of the road rushed out to watch the excitement.

The movement of the royal married daughter was extraordinary. Ming Chuan stood on the palace wall and watched the wedding car leave the palace.

He let out a long sigh.

Rongshang's unique aura came from around him, Ming Chuan raised his head and said, "As soon as she left, the palace became more and more silent."

Rong Shang hugged Ming Chuan and told him to lean on him.

"If I wasn't the emperor, I might have been sent to a certain fief right now," Ming Chuan said, "Although it's not as good as the palace, but I still have no worries about food and clothing, and my daily life is just eating and shopping." He thought for a while, and said with a smile: " It seems to be the same as now."

Rong Shang stroked his temples, and said: "If I'm not the national teacher, I should still be staying on Jiuyi Mountain now."

"Then like a hermit, although he stays at home, he is planning a strategy and winning a thousand miles away?"

Rong Shang laughed and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"I don't know," Ming Chuan said, "I always feel that even if you don't join the court, you should be a very powerful big shot."

Rong Shang smiled, "I didn't enter the court, I was just a very ordinary Taoist priest on the mountain, wandering around, and then swam to your fief. You met me when you were shopping, and we started to know each other."

Rong Shang shook his head, "Who knows if you will have someone you like at that time? It's better now, you and I met more than ten years ago, these times are not wasted."

The days are still flowing like running water, occasionally jumping into a stone, splashing sporadic water, after all, it is harmless.

After a torrential rain, the heat was getting stronger, and not long after, news came from Zhang Xinyuan that Jinghua was pregnant.

Jingrong and the queen mother were very happy, and the rewards were sent to Zhang's mansion continuously. The queen mother also sent four imperial doctors and several aunts who knew how to give birth to take care of Jinghua.

Ming Chuan was also very happy to hear that, no matter what kind of person, the birth of a new life is a very happy thing.

At that time, he was practicing calligraphy in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and when he heard the news, he pushed Rong Shang beside him, "I want to go and see Jinghua."

Rong Shang dipped his pen into the ink, "In a few days, she will enter the palace to thank her, why bother you?"

"There are many rules in the palace, and everyone is uncomfortable." Ming Chuan said, "I'll go to her place to see if Zhang Xinyuan really treats her well."

Rong Shang smiled and said, "Zhang Xinyuan dare not treat her badly."

"Oh." Ming Chuan quarreled with him when he saw that he didn't listen, "You just ask me to go and have a look."

Rong Shang looked up at him, and said with a smile: "If you finish copying this Yanhua Sutra today, I will let you go and see him."

Ming Chuan was overjoyed, "It's a deal."

Rong Shang looked at the little emperor who was copying Buddhist scriptures in high spirits, smiled and shook his head.

In summer, the leaves are green and verdant, and most of the delicate flowers are unbearable.The little eunuchs hid under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness at noon, and the stone road without shade was shining brightly in the sun.

Ming Chuan was dressed in a moon-white gauze embroidered with hibiscus flowers, ready to leave the palace with great interest.

Zhang Xinyuan lives with Jinghua in Jinghua's princess mansion, no matter how he rises up, he can't buy a big house in a short time, otherwise the impeachment will bury him.

Ming Chuan said that it was a private visit in Weibo, Zhang Xinyuan was also obedient, and didn't make too much of a fuss, he just led a few people to wait at the door, and when Ming Chuan got off the carriage, he welcomed them in.

"Does Your Majesty want to see the eldest princess first?"

Mingchuan nodded.Zhang Xinyuan led the way.In just a few months, Zhang Xinyuan was quite different from the scholar in spring.

Now he is dressed in a brocade robe painted with gold and embroidered patterns, a gold crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. He has a calm and gentle demeanor.

Ming Chuan thought, maybe people like them were born to become masters.

"The eldest princess vomited continuously after eating in the morning, so I don't ask her to get up, and let her rest in the room." Zhang Xinyuan mentioned Jinghua, and smiled slightly, "The imperial doctor said that her body is not bad. It's just because of the first child, the reaction was particularly big. Maybe this child is naughty."

While talking, Zhang Xinyuan brought Ming Chuan into the house. The room was bright and spacious, with all the furnishings. Benzoin was lit in the incense burner, and freshly cut lotus flowers were placed on the flower table.

Jinghua sat on the bed in the inner room, probably knowing that Mingchuan was coming, she put a little powder on her face, and looked very good.

Seeing Mingchuan coming in, Jinghua cupped her hands on the bed, "Brother, please forgive me for being rude."

The maid hurriedly moved the stool, Ming Chuan sat down, and said with a smile: "It's not in the palace, what do you need so many etiquettes for? How do you feel these days?"

Jinghua said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I can't eat it, so I have to spit it out."

Ming Chuan asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? Or, I picked two cooks from the palace."

Jinghua said: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness, but the queen mother has already sent many people here, and they are all used to take care of pregnant women."

Seeing the two of them talking, Zhang Xinyuan said to Yan Ke: "I haven't seen Eunuch Yan for a long time. Tea and snacks are prepared in the hall. If Eunuch Yan doesn't mind it, you can go and rest for a while."

Yan Ke nodded and said, "Master Zhang."

Zhang Xinyuan went out with Yan Ke.

Seeing him leave, Ming Chuan asked, "How are you doing here? Did Zhang Xinyuan bully you?"

Jinghua smiled and shook her head, "He, he is very kind to me, and my mother-in-law is also very kind to me. They are all very kind people."

"Mother-in-law?" Ming Chuan was puzzled: "Didn't Zhang Xinyuan's parents both die?"

Jinghua then said: "It's his wet nurse. After his parents left, the wet nurse has always raised him. He regards her as his own mother in his heart."

"I see."

The two brothers and sisters wentssip again, and Mingchuan didn't stop until Jinghua's face showed fatigue, and said, "Take a rest, and come back to see you."

Jinghua nodded, "Brother Huang."

Ming Chuan came out from the inside, Yan Ke was waiting outside, Ming Chuan asked with a smile, "Didn't you go to the banquet?"

Yan Ke also smiled: "It's different now, I don't dare to take Joe with Master Zhang anymore."

Ming Chuan smiled, Zhang Xinyuan came across the corridor and asked Ming Chuan to rest in the flower hall.

Ming Chuan went with him, the flower hall was decorated elegantly and cleanly, and there was a faint fragrance from the incense burner.Mingchuan sniffed lightly twice, and found that he had never smelled this smell before.

"What kind of incense is this?"

Zhang Xinyuan looked at the incense burner and said, "It's a kind of grass unique to the frontier. It's dried and ground into powder, and has a unique fragrance."

Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Master Zhang, has he ever been to the frontier?"

Zhang Xinyuan looked calm, and said bluntly, "It was sent by General Wei Ji."

"You don't shy away from it." Ming Chuan picked up the tea bowl.

Zhang Xinyuan suddenly gathered his clothes and knelt down, straightened his back, and said: "In a few days, it will be His Majesty's birthday, and I intend to give His Majesty a great gift."

Ming Chuan lowered his eyes and asked, "He Dali, tell me?"

"I would like to send your Majesty to take over the imperial power without restraint."

Ming Chuan frowned slightly.

Zhang Xinyuan went on to say: "General Wei holds the military power in his hand, and has been confronting Guo Shiyao for many years. When he comes to Beijing this time, the situation that has always been balanced is bound to be broken, and this is our opportunity."

"Us?" Ming Chuan looked at Zhang Xinyuan with uncertain eyes.

Zhang Xinyuan twirled his fingers and continued as if he was desperate: "I have a long history with General Wei. He once said that if His Majesty wishes, he would order the Imperial Teacher to return the government for His Majesty."

Mingchuan laughed inexplicably, "Wei Ji's army is at the border, what can he do?"

"General Wei also has Axuanqi." Zhang Xinyuan said: "Axuanqi is worth one hundred, and the Imperial Army is no match."

"There are [-] Imperial Guards in the capital, and Ah Xuanqi only has [-]." Ming Chuan said: "Master Zhang is really a dream."

"One hundred thousand imperial troops are stationed outside the city, and the national division needs military orders to dispatch troops. If something happens to the imperial city, they will not be able to come in a short time."

Ming Chuan rubbed his teacup, "Even so, it's hard to do."

Zhang Xinyuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said: "Most of the ministers in the court are old, and the new court needs fresh blood, but among the young scholars, humble ministers can still talk. At that time, His Majesty will support you in the palace, General Wei Raising troops outside to force each other, scholars give solidarity, driven by the general trend, the national division must devolve power."

Ming Chuan was silent for a long time, Zhang Xinyuan looked at his face, feeling uncertain.

"I have another question." Ming Chuan said suddenly.

Zhang Xinyuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Ming Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xinyuan, and said: "You are a fourth-rank official at a young age, and after becoming a princess, you are even more beautiful. Are you still not satisfied with this kind of scenery?"

Zhang Xinyuan was taken aback for a moment, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, "Your Majesty!"

Ming Chuan put down the teacup, and the bottom of the teacup touched the table, making a crisp sound.

"Zhang Xinyuan," Ming Chuan said, "Look at the entire court, Xu Chengyu is still working as his poor scholar in the Imperial Academy, and your original boss was dismissed. Which of the other fourth-rank officials like you is not bearded?" There are a lot of people, your current seat is something that many people will never be able to find in a lifetime. How come even so, it still can’t satisfy your ambition. "
