Seiwa

On the day of the palace banquet, Qi Liegai, the leader of Wuliangha, made a big splash.

Uncle Xingning, who was the first to shout out the three words "Tian Khan", also became the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of the officials.Together, the two even overwhelmed Xu Zengshou, who was grabbing Xie Jin's lines.

The Kunning Palace soon got the news that the imperial servants who were given a banquet by the queen knew how to seize the opportunity, and kept pouring out all kinds of good words, for fear that they would be one step behind others.

Speak a few more words for those who are clever, and a few more words for those who are clumsy.In this case, almost no one will be ignorant.

If he didn't listen to the palace banquet, he would be sent to Jinyi Prison on the spot?

Saying something that should be struck by lightning at an inappropriate occasion is what will happen!

Wang Gejian's wife was not qualified to be given a banquet. His mother and several other five-rank pleasant people sat at the last banquet, listening to the praises of King Han and King Zhao in the hall, as well as the praise of Marquis Wuyang and Bo Xingning. However, after boasting, she wanted to step on her son's foot again, and she almost gritted her teeth with hatred.

Anger, humiliation, depression, worry.

All kinds of emotions surged up together, but they couldn't express them, let alone leave the meeting without authorization.

Her son has already been sent to Jinyi Prison, if she behaves improperly in Kunning Palace, it will bring about even greater disasters.

The only thing he could do was to turn a blind eye to the sarcasm of others, and pretend not to hear the whispers of the people around him.As long as I get through tonight, as long as I don't cause trouble for my family...

The same predicament as her was also the female family member of Bingke Feng's family.

Zhu Di was annoyed by Feng Jijian and Wang Jijian, and Empress Xu had the same disgust for those who poured dirty water on her son and grandson.

It's just that the emperor has sent Wang Gejian, and Feng Gejian is also a grasshopper after autumn, and Empress Xu will not easily offend their family members again.But if the queen doesn't do anything, it doesn't mean that other people won't use it to show "loyalty".

During a palace banquet, Wang Gejian's mother and Feng Gejian's family members were almost roasted on the fire, fidgeting all the time.It wasn't until Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe came to greet Empress Xu that the attention of everyone in the hall was attracted by the two grandsons, and the situation improved.

But this is only temporary.After all, Feng Gejian's slander against the son of the King of Han, and Wang Gejian's impeachment of the King of Han and King Zhao are all fait accompli.

It is conceivable that Wang Gejian will not come out of Jinyi Prison for a day, and the treatment of Feng Gejian will not be implemented for a day, and the families of the two will still suffer from the ridicule and white eyes of others.

If possible, the two Yiren really wanted to disappear from the presence of the queen and grandson immediately.

It's a pity that imagination is imagination after all, and they must continue to hold on until the palace banquet is over.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe stood together, saluted Empress Xu, and said in unison: "Grandson has seen the emperor's grandmother."

"Okay." Empress Xu smiled and asked the two to get up, gave Zhu Zhanji a seat, and then hugged Zhu Zhanhe in her arms like Zhu Di.

Compared with Zhu Di's side, Zhu Zhanhe is much more honest.

Perhaps it was because of Zaohui, he knew that the imperial grandmother was not in good health, and he couldn't be around the imperial grandmother like he was with the imperial grandfather. He had to be honest so as not to tire the imperial grandmother.

The three-headed fat baby clenched her fists and sat upright.

But no matter how hard you try, you will still be like a ball.

The imperial order in the palace praised repeatedly, "The son of the king of Han is so filial and courteous, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Don't over-repute him, he may not be able to afford it at such a young age."

The speaking Liu Shuren and her mother-in-law looked at each other, secretly happy in their hearts, it seems that they guessed the Queen's mind correctly.

Zhu Zhanji sat aside, and when Empress Xu looked over, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Empress Xu sighed, "Zhanji, come to the emperor's grandmother."

Empress Xu knew exactly what Princess Ping had done, and how Prince Ping had behaved in front of the vassal.As long as she wants to know, even the emperor can't hide it from her.

From shock to anger, from sadness to peace.

Empress Xu was disappointed with her daughter-in-law, and even more disappointed with her eldest son.

Among the three sons, the emperor prefers the second son and the third son, but she always strives to make a bowl of water even.

Because Zhu Gaochi was the eldest son, and because Zhu Gaochi was not loved by the emperor, Empress Xu cared more about the eldest son than the other two sons.

But in dealing with Princess Ping, Zhu Gaochi chilled Empress Xu.

Thinking that Mrs. Zhang is his wife, but remember that she is his mother?

After all, did you blame yourself?

Empress Xu didn't know, and didn't want to think deeply.

On the day that King Ping left the capital, Empress Xu suddenly developed a high fever, her body was weak, and the soup she took was so bitter that she couldn't swallow it.

"Evil son!"

In Kunning Palace, Emperor Yongle was furious, and immediately wanted to send someone to arrest Zhu Gaochi for questioning.

In the end, it was Empress Xu who propped up her sick body and stopped him.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it doesn't matter anymore.

She just pretended that she never gave birth to this son!

After the words came out, Empress Xu was very calm, Zhu Di's anger no longer appeared on his face, he waved back the palace people, and personally fed Empress Xu medicine.

The pitch-black concoction was sprinkled on his body, and he hugged his wife who had become so thin as a bone. The Yongle Emperor, who was not afraid of the bloody storm, finally had red eyes.

The next day, Empress Xu didn't mention King Ping again, but just took the medicine according to the doctor's advice, and her condition never recurred.

Disappointed with her eldest son, Empress Xu made up her mind not to let her eldest grandson resemble his father again.

Benevolence and morality, etiquette, filial piety, and filial piety are all talked about all day long, which is useless, and practical actions are fundamental.Otherwise, no amount of reading is in vain.

His parents can no longer interfere in the education of the eldest grandson. All the companions, palace servants, and eunuchs related to Princess Ping have been removed from Zhu Zhanji's side one by one.

Accompanying Zhu Di for more than [-] years, traveling with Zhu Di from Nanjing to Peiping, and then returning to Nanjing from Peiping, Zhu Di's three adult sons and five daughters, except for Princess Changning whose mother is unknown, are all descended from Empress Xu.

Just as Empress Ma could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to put down the butcher knife, as long as Empress Xu does not fall, as long as she sits firmly in the palace, a person with ulterior motives and ghosts will never want to cause a storm in the palace.

"In the past, it was my lack of energy and negligence."

Hearing this sentence, Hou Xian felt his scalp tingle.

Anyone who was born in Yan Wang Qiandi will understand what this sentence means.For some people in and out of the palace, the good times are coming to an end.

Princess Ping's various "efforts" to allow Empress Xu to "come out of the mountain" were not in vain.

Like Cheng Guogong, in Yongle five years, Empress Xu did not pass away as in history.Instead, under the careful care of the imperial physician, he became healthier and healthier, and it is basically no problem to live to the same age as Zhu Di.

No one knows what this change will bring to Zhu Di and even the entire Ming Dynasty, even Meng Qinghe is the same.

In the Huagai Palace, Qilie, the leader of Wuliangha who successfully patted the dragon's fart, should be given a seat, wine and meat.

According to the rules, during the palace banquet, Qi Liegai didn't even have a place to stand.Only the commander of Wuliangha Sanwei can win this honor.However, he made the emperor's heart happy, and the emperor gave him a seat. Even if others were dissatisfied, they would not show up at this time.

The lesson from the past is not far away, if you want to go out of the palace in one piece, so as not to be invited to drink tea by Jin Yiwei, it is better to be sensible.

Qi Lige was very excited, his face was flushed, and his hands were trembling.

The leader of Wuliangha, who went to Beijing to pay tribute like him, was given a banquet in the same hall, and he could show off for several months when he went back, attracting the envy of everyone.What an honor it is for him to be able to participate in the palace banquet and receive wine from the emperor!

If he hadn't been sane, Qilie would have hidden the wine pot and wine cup, and two dishes, and brought them back to the tribe.

The gold pot, the silver cup and the jade plate are not even high enough for the big boss to use, all of which are evidence of his participation in the palace banquet!

After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Di became a little tipsy, "Gao Xu, Gao Sui, pour wine for Cheng Guogong, Marquis Wuyang! I'm happy today, dear friends, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! Change to a bigger bowl!"

Zhu Neng and others applauded loudly, and immediately some palace servants removed the wine cup and replaced it with a big bowl.

Clear wine was poured into the bowl, Zhu Di took the lead, Zhu Neng and the others raised their necks, half of the bowl of wine entered their mouths, and half of the bowl wet the skirt of their clothes.After wiping off the wine from their beards, the monarchs and ministers all smiled happily, as if they had returned to the days when they went to the desert and fought against Beiyuan.

Meng Qinghe doesn't have a good capacity for alcohol, one bowl can hold up to the sky, but two bowls will make him fall down.Everyone knew how much he was drinking, and after one drink, they let him go.

When the middle-aged men drank in big bowls and remembered the past, Meng Qing and Zhiji stepped back and took the time to eat.

The meat dishes are too cold to eat, but the vegetarian dishes are better.

It was impossible to eat like this, Meng Qinghe put down his chopsticks, turned around and called an eunuch, and gave some instructions.

"Please send it quickly."

After the words fell, a small piece of silver fell into the eunuch's sleeve.

It's not as rich as Cheng Guo's public wealth, and at least half-footed into the ranks of the rich.Giving copper coins will lose your share, and it's even more unacceptable to give precious banknotes. It doesn't feel very distressing to pinch a piece of silver and hand it out.

After all, silver is important, but stomach is more important.

"Yes, let's go now, uncle wait a moment."

The eunuch happily went down, and after a while, he brought back two young eunuchs.

The little eunuch was holding a golden pot and a porcelain bowl in his hand. The bowl contained sticky rice and the pot contained hot water.

Both of these are not violations of the system, Meng Qinghe has no pressure to ask for it, and the eunuch is just trying to run errands.

When the rice and hot water arrived, Meng Qinghe put half of it into the vegetable bowl, soaked it in hot water, and started to eat regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones.

After all, the royal chef is the royal chef, bold and generous!

After three bites, I got two peppers.

If it is true that the country is strong and powerful, all nations come to court, the emperor is not short of money, and the imperial dining room is not short of pepper.

He was baring his teeth and pouring water, when he suddenly found that the surroundings were abnormally quiet.

The sound of drinking is gone.

No more talking.

Raising his head, including Emperor Yong Le, the middle-aged men who were still drinking together just now stared at him blankly, and the six heavenly officials at the two tables next to him also twitched their eyes.

Rice in hot water?Or in front of the emperor?

To dare to do such a thing at a palace banquet is unique throughout the ages!

No wonder he has an inseparable relationship with Ding Guogong, a god of killing, he really is a fierce man!

Meng Qinghe puffed his cheeks, ignored all kinds of gazes on his body, calmly chewed a few times, and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the Court of Zhao has something to say. Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your stomach. It is better to eat with some hot water. I have personally tested it. Your Majesty can use it with confidence."

Zhao Yuan, who was a few tables away, had black lines all over his forehead. Did he get shot while lying down?

Zhu Di touched the short mustache on his chin, nodded, and put down the wine bowl.

Hou Xian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, should you use rice or pancakes? This servant will order you now."

"No need." Zhu Di directly grabbed the big porcelain bowl on the table, "I can just use this bowl. You can ask Duke Cheng what Marquis Wuyang wants to use, and I will send it as usual."

"Yes."

Hou Xian took the order, and soon there was a big bowl of rice and steaming pancakes and steamed buns on the table.

Except for Xungui, civil servants and generals are not left behind.Compared with cold dishes and cold wine, rice pancakes are obviously more popular.

Don't drink, just eat, such a palace banquet can be regarded as a precedent.

The musician and dancer in the hall almost tripped with his left foot and the right foot, and the musician played two wrong strings.

After eating half a bowl of rice, Zhu Di put down his chopsticks, drank two mouthfuls of hot water, looked at Meng Qinghe who was clearly not full, and said suddenly, "Uncle Xingning."

"The minister is here."

"Beijing Bingma Commander, don't worry about it for now."

What? !

Meng Qinghe looked up in astonishment, was he being raped?

Because of a bowl of rice?

Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng and Wuyang Marquis Xu Zengshou were obviously also surprised, did the emperor annoy Xing Ningbo?Not like it.

The civil servants in the neighborhood are very excited, you have today too!While being excited, he bit the steamed bun, not giving up on eating it because of the reason of the steamed bun.

Uncle Meng is lucky, stare, don't eat if you have the ability!

Watching Lao Tzu's good show while eating, don't be afraid of choking your throat!

Zhu Di ignored the civil servants who were watching the show, raised his hand to stop Xu Zengshou's intercession, and continued: "Uncle Xingning is knowledgeable, talented, filial and upright, understands human feelings, understands the sufferings of the people, and is not limited by the secular world. He is very unique in his actions. At the place, I gave you the crown prince Shaobao to give lectures to the sons of the King of Han. The main focus is on the strategy of the country, etiquette, filial piety, people's livelihood and economy, supplemented by the folk customs of overseas places, and the customs of local things."

With a thunderbolt, Meng Qinghe was stunned, completely stunned.

Prince Shaobao?

If he remembers correctly, it seems that his cheap master, Monk Daoyan, is the young master of the prince?

Xu Zengshou saw that Meng Qinghe didn't respond in a daze, so he quickly reminded, "Uncle Xingning, why don't you thank me soon?"

Looking at Meng Qinghe who was still staring straight at him, Zhu Neng sighed, thinking that the emperor was going to send Xing Ningbo down, but unexpectedly, he was asked to give lectures to the son of King Han!

Although the three lords, three orphans and three guarantees of the Yongle Dynasty are all honorary titles, those who are lucky enough to be awarded such honorary titles are absolutely extraordinary.

The Jianwen dynasty dismissed the three lords and the three orphans, but skipped it.

Who were the three lords, three orphans and three guarantees in the Hongwu Dynasty?

Taishi Li Shanchang, Taifu Xu Da, Taibao Chang Yuchun.

The crown prince and Taifu in the Three Guarantees are even more famous Sapphire!

Although most of the fierce people did not end well, but the credit is real, and they can't be false.

How old is Uncle Xingning?It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a military officer of the current dynasty, guarding one side.

The first-class uncle can only be regarded as the last among the nobles.The governor of the rear army's governor's mansion is the same as the governor, and the governor is also suppressing him.Prince Shaobao is just an honorary title and doesn't have much real power at all.

Looking at it separately, it is nothing among courtiers.If it falls on the same person, it is quite a big deal.What's more, he is still guarding Daning, transferred to Beijing, and still holds the official seal.

Generally speaking, like him, the emperor should be cold.However, Emperor Yong Le's performance broke the common understanding and traditional concepts of the people. Meng Qinghe's official career will obviously continue to be smooth.

The court officials who were at odds with Meng Qinghe couldn't help but gasp. What kind of background did Uncle Xing Ning hide for him to be so favored by His Majesty?What did the emperor say before?

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others, who had been silent all this while thinking deeply about the meaning of the Son of Heaven, were shocked.

Ling Xingningbo taught the sons of the Han Dynasty the strategy of managing the country, etiquette, filial piety, people's livelihood and economy, and overseas things?

Prince Ping's son came out of the pavilion to study, and the emperor only talked about etiquette, filial piety and brotherhood, never mentioned the emperor's great training, let alone the strategy of the country!

The prince of the Han Dynasty is still young, so he wants to learn the strategy of the state and the economy of the people's livelihood?

Could it be...

The expressions of Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others changed even more suddenly. If they hadn't been pulled by Hu Yan, Xie Jin might lose his composure on the spot.

Emperor Yong Le who left behind the thunderbolt didn't even look at the expressions of the officials, he didn't need to look, Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs in the palace would naturally record some people's every move and hand them to him.

After Xu Zengshou's reminder, Meng Qinghe finally came back to his senses, it was a lie to say that he was not excited, but thinking that this time he would be completely tied to Zhu Gaoxu's carriage, he felt a little uncertain.

On second thought, even if the emperor did not issue this order, in the eyes of outsiders, he would have already worn a pair of pants with Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

Worrying about these things is just asking for trouble.

Recalling the first time I met Zhu Gaoxu in Kaipingwei, I couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that he would come to this day?

Five years ago, Zhu Gaoxu would never have imagined that one day, he would roll up his trousers and plow the fields with military households.Zhu Gaosui also did not think that his dealing with gold, silver and copper coins was a big joke of history, or a hurricane was caused by a butterfly that strayed into history by mistake?

Meng Qinghe straightened his expression and pursed his lips tightly.

Since there is no room for choice, there is no more choice.

The chess game has been set, in order to reach the final move, and also to protect himself, Shen Xuan, and his family, he will put all his eggs in one basket and do his best.

If there is an obstacle, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

"Sir, thank you for the order!"

Meng Qinghe would not know that his worship was destined to become a turning point in history.

From this moment on, the history of the Ming Dynasty will take a completely different path, and even the history of the world will change because of this.
