In the Forbidden City in early winter, the fog is covered and the air is filled with a biting cold.
Before dawn, the morning bell was already ringing, and in this huge Forbidden City, many eunuchs of the Divine Palace appeared, and began to clean up the fallen leaves after the end of autumn.
The lights were lit early in the Kunning Palace, and Queen Xia got up early, not that she was used to getting up early, but Her Majesty was nowhere to be found, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was out of the customs, so the prince was in charge of the country, and in this palace, she became an orphan and a widow.
Queen Xia couldn't stop thinking about it, thinking that it would be another time to talk today, so she got up early, and personally asked someone to hug Zhu Zaiyao and dress him.
Now that he has become the prince of the prison country, he can no longer be a child.
Maybe they are the same age, but the eyes of people are different, without the Forbidden City where His Majesty is there, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the backbone of the world, and it is the place where the community is temporarily maintained.
The more this is the case, the more Empress Xia can feel this heaviness, and this heaviness even makes her a little breathless many times.
Zhu Zaiyao was also just woken up, his eyes were worried, in this dormitory with countless charcoal fires and warm as spring, Queen Xia personally dressed him in a prostitute uniform, and under the small prostitution uniform, there was a child who couldn't open his eyes.
But he is no longer a child, he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
Queen Xia looked at Zhu Zaiyao, who was wearing a small beam crown, and saw that he still couldn't open his eyes, so she squatted down, showed a gentle smile, and said softly: "Yao'er, it's time to wake up, if you go to Chongwen Hall later, let the masters see Yao'er like this, but you will be unhappy." ” "But I want to sleep again."
Zhu Zaiyao's body leaned over, rubbing his eyes, and there was a bit of coquettishness in the child's voice.
Empress Xia was angry and funny, she pursed her lips and said: "Your Highness has to work hard to learn skills, you have to learn to grow up, has Your Highness forgotten, is Your Highness guarding this family on behalf of her father Now His Royal Highness is the head of the family, the head of the family, how can he lie in bed." ” "Oh."
Zhu Zaiyao had to reluctantly straighten up, put his hands behind his back, and finally recovered his appearance as a little adult, and then, as if he remembered something, he began to be sullen again, and said faintly: "But I don't want to go to the talk." ” Empress Xia frowned, and said lovingly: "Your Highness, don't say that, the masters want to talk about the great truth, teach the way of governing the country, and the history of the country, this is what Your Highness should learn, your father is not here, shouldn't you share your worries for him and learn more skills, so that you can succeed to the unification in the future, no" These words, Queen Xia is very unshy about saying them, the inheritance system of the Ming Dynasty is perfect, so she is not worried about saying that these are reverie, Zhu Zaiyao is the crown prince, then he just wants to learn the art of the emperor, there is nothing to secret.
What's more, when Empress Dowager Zhang was in the palace, she said these things every day, and even when His Majesty had not left the palace, she always touched Zhu Zaiyao's head and chattered, saying that Yao'er is going to grow up, and when you grow up, you will be the son of heaven, and I will be a general, and Queen Xia will have no scruples now.
Zhu Zaiyao's little face was full of frustration, he lowered his head, and said with a lack of interest: "It's not that Erchen doesn't like to learn this, the masters are quite kind, but every time they talk, they always say that Uncle Ye Huang is wrong here, wrong there, and they always say that they don't stop, but didn't the queen mother say that Uncle Ye Huang is right, Erchen wants to argue, but he can't argue with them, Erchen sometimes thinks, maybe Uncle Ye Huang is really wrong." ” It's okay not to say this, this Zhu Zaiyao said it unintentionally, but Queen Xia was so shocked that her face was pale.
Her heart was suddenly covered with a layer of haze, and her loving eyes were a little more suspicious at the moment, she suddenly rose, glared at Zhu Zaiyao and said, "Which people said it?"
"Master Zhu, Master Zhao said so."
Zhu Zaiyao thought about it and added: "Master Li said the same thing." ” If it was just a few Hanlin words and a few words, it would be fine, as soon as she heard Master Li, Queen Xia naturally knew that it was Li Dongyang who was talking about, and her face suddenly changed.
Empress Xia showed a stern expression, looked at Zhu Zaiyao seriously, and said, "Your Highness, don't believe these stupid words. ” "Yikes."
Zhu Zaiyao raised his head, looked at Queen Xia with a stern face, and said, "But Erchen and Erchen feel that what they said also has some truth." ” "Nonsense."
Queen Xia reprimanded sharply, she gritted her silver teeth, her face became more and more solemn, and said, "Son, Emperor, you are still a child" Zhu Zaiyao puffed up his chest and interrupted: "The queen mother also said that her sons should grow up." ” Queen Xia was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile, and said: "Don't interject, you, hey, the emperor, you have to remember one thing, the queen mother is a woman, and there is no right or wrong, but I need to tell you, the emperor, now that the father is missing, in this big palace, but it is you and me, mother and son, the emperor is young, what is this called, this is called the lord Shaoguo suspicion, do you know?"
Zhu Zaiyao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, he was stunned, and finally nodded.
Empress Xia knew that he didn't understand much, so she naturally wanted to explain the truth clearly, she had a cold face, and continued: "But if your father really has a case, what will happen to the emperor, who will it be in this world?"
Zhu Zaiyao said like a backward back: "If the father has a case, it will naturally be" "Wrong."
Queen Xia Zhengse said: "The rules are dead, but people are alive, the law of the Ming Dynasty, the law of the ancestors, it is indeed said so, but the heart of the people is unpredictable, the queen mother just told you that the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, if someone wants to make meritorious service, someone has a crooked mind, the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, this is how many people are tempted, if someone excuses His Royal Highness to be young, welcome the vassal king into the palace, how many people want to follow the dragon, and how many people want to be a great hero to welcome the new emperor, they protect His Royal Highness to inherit the unification, this is the law, it is a matter of course, so this is not called merit; But if you welcome someone who shouldn't touch the world into the palace, this is called Conglong, which is a great achievement, who can hold such a temptation" Zhu Zaiyao looked at Queen Xia in astonishment, it was the first time he had seen Queen Xia so serious.
Empress Xia sneered: "Our mother, who should we rely on when the time comes, do you rely on hundreds of officials, the emperor needs to remember, the current cabinet minister, in the emperor's court, is the cabinet minister, to the temple of a cat and a dog, he is also a cabinet elder, these hundred officials, can kowtow to the emperor, shout long live, to others, he is also a courtier, and it is also long live, what is the difference between the emperor and other clans, what is the difference between the emperor and other clans, what they need is just a long live, an emperor." ” aa2705221:
