Dress to be a celebrity

Qin Tianjian selected the auspicious day for the establishment of the crown prince, August [-]rd, and the king of Zhou officially received the crown prince.

The concubine Xian made great achievements in giving birth to the prince, and was named a noble concubine, and the concubine Zhou was also named a crown prince and conferred a treasure.One of the two concubines served the prince in Hanzhong for many years and made great contributions; the other served the concubine and concubine in the Beijing Dynasty.

After many years of being expelled from the palace for a lie, they finally returned to Jingren Palace.

The furnishings in the palace are still the same, and the age and dress of the palace maids are also vaguely similar to those of the past, but the couple is no longer the naive and willful young people who were married not long ago.

These years, they not only experienced wind and rain outside, but also saw the sufferings of the people, and watched how the Song Dynasty taught the people step by step how to improve farming and weaving methods, build factories, build schools, and eradicate illiteracy... Although Beijing and Hanzhong are different, But the heart of caring for the people for the superior is the same.

In the future, he will study Confucian classics and history with Hanlin scholars, learn the essentials of governance in the previous dynasty, understand the current affairs of the world, and gradually spread the law of Hanzhong to the whole country.At that time, the two uncles may have left the court to explore the mine veins in various places. At that time, they can be invited to inspect the local people's livelihood and government affairs...

Although I feel a little sorry for them, but they are all relatives of my own family, I ask them to work harder for my nephew's sake, as a brother-in-law, he just arranges someone to take care of his in-laws.

Not to mention other things in the past few years since King Zhou came out of Beijing, the problem of thin skin and delicate face has long since been honed, and he has been taught by his father's words and deeds. The two uncles have already found paid vacations for them before they even submitted their resignations. China can continue to be loyal to the direction of the country.

It's just that they have lived together in Hanzhong for many years, and the two brothers will leave in the future, but he doesn't know how much work it will take to get used to it.

He harbored the sadness of parting in his heart, so he didn't show much joy and complacency because he became the prince.And in the eyes of people, this expression became the calmness of "not showing any expression of joy or anger".The court felt more and more that he was skilled in nourishing Qi and had the hope of being a prince. He had already been praised by all the ministers within a few days after returning to the court.

King Wei worked diligently in the Ministry of Rites for several years, but he had never heard so many "virtuous" characters.

But now that his elder brother has become the prince, he has both fame and favor, but he dare not even complain, and he has to do his best to manage the grand ceremony of the elder brother's establishment of the crown prince.And he missed Song Sanyuan for so many years, the young Zhan Shi who became the prince after returning to Beijing, went to the East Palace every day to give lectures to his elder brother, but he didn't even have time to chat with him about how to make the economic park well.

Ever since King Qi went to the grassland to pacify the captives, the three princes have spent a few years as the "oldest prince" and "virtuous king". Now that the elder brother has returned, he has become an ordinary prince among the many princes.

Originally, when King Qi left the capital, he still laughed at that second elder brother who was just ordered by a great general, and King Zhou was just a deposed prince. He was the most sage king because he worked diligently in the court.But now his eldest brother has become the crown prince, and his second brother also has the merits of pacifying captives. Although he had established an economic park in Beijing, when Song Shi came back, the eldest brother could use him to steal his job and make him a minister... …

He was worried and wronged, and told his family about his troubles. His concubines didn't understand government affairs, and they only thought about how to go to the palace more and make friends with the new crown princess.Even his mother and concubine seem to have resigned to her fate, and she has been walking around the imperial concubine's palace recently, saying that she wants to connect with her elder brother for him, so that he can be a prince who stays in Beijing on business in the future.

Back then when the eldest brother had not left Beijing, he never thought about competing for this position. It was his concubine who told him that the eldest brother had lost power, and he had a rivalry with the second brother.At that time, the merchant also cooperated with relatives and children in the court to push him in front of his father, and won the job in charge of the economic park.

Later, his brother took advantage of the good wife and uncle of the concubine's natal family, and found him a good brother-in-law.

Relying on his ability to link up with the Song Dynasty, he once again caught the eyes of his father and won the hearts of the courtiers.Seeing this momentum, his ancestral businessman and his wife's family, the Li family, all turned to the big emperor brother, and threw himself, who they had pushed him to the position of seizing the heir, into the air, unable to get up or down.

I'm afraid that even the job of presiding over the economic park will be taken away by the eldest brother sooner or later to Song Sanyuan.

At that time, I am afraid that even the two relatives he relies on behind will not speak for him.Because the first industry in the world today, it was Song Sanyuan who built the Hanzhong Economic Park. The economic park in Beijing was built according to the Hanzhong Economic Park. The officials, stewards, and craftsmen used in the park were all trained by Song Shi. .

His status as a prince is higher than Song Shi's, and only his status is higher than Song Shi's, but what is this in front of the prince?

The king of Wei judged others by himself, and felt that the elder brother would not allow him to preside over the economic park sooner or later. His subordinates were in charge of tens of thousands of young and strong workers, so he simply took the initiative to give up this job——

You can't give up in vain, you have to let your father know that he is magnanimous, sensible, and forbearing.

He asked someone to take the account books of the economic park for these years, checked them at the door, and personally sent them to the palace, kneeling in front of the emperor: "I know that I am not as capable as Mr. Song, and I would like to ask Mr. Song to take charge of the economic park. My minister It’s enough for him to be his deputy.”

His father smiled and said, "What are you talking about, my son? I handed over the economic park to you that day because you have a calm and stable personality and love to study. I thought you liked to take care of these chemistry, The 'industry' of physics and other sciences. Beijing is not a place, and you don't point to this garden built by the royal family to raise the people. As long as you manage it, it is enough to know how to use things and people."

That is to say, will the father take away this garden and give it to the elder brother's subordinates?

Although he was a little reluctant when he took over the economic park at the beginning, after a few years, he matured a lot earlier and realized the benefits of doing practical work, so he was really reluctant to hand over the economic park to his elder brother.

He smiled slightly, bowed his head and replied: "I dare not disappoint my father's wishes. In fact, I have learned a lot from the censors and Yuanwailang who manage the affairs of the garden over the years. I have already used all the physical and chemical methods. Even if I ask my son to open another place and build this economic park from scratch, he will dare to ask for his order."

Emperor Xintai showed a somewhat gratified and proud expression, called him to him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ke'er, Ke'er. Ci'er has such ambitions, he is not inferior to your two elder brothers, and even more worthy of being a younger brother." their example."

Hearing his father's praise, King Wei secretly rejoiced, but his face was filled with humility: "Father is too much for his praise. A son is a minister first, and then a son. He should bow to the court."

The emperor nodded with a smile, and said: "Your two elder brothers have been delivering good news in the northwest, and now they only need to take over the remnants of the captive court and seal the wolves into Xuxu. This is my great Zheng's luck, and the luck of the Central Plains. I'm going to go to Mount Tai, you go with me."

Wouldn't it be the most favored prince who could walk with the emperor and seal Mount Tai together?

Although he has no name, but he has the favor, even after the collapse of his father's mausoleum, he can also rely on this favor, and rely on Confucian filial piety to compete with the elder brother.

King Wei's eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked forward to being a hero.Seeing him so happy, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "You kid is so happy when you hear that you are going out, you look exactly like your second brother. Well, you are grown up, so you naturally like to run outside. I shouldn't have you You are all detained in Beijing..."

His voice was a little deep, which seemed to contain deeper intentions, but Wei Wang could no longer hear these subtle changes, suppressing his satisfaction and joy, he returned home and told the princess to pack him.

He wants to go to Fengchan Taishan alone with his father, how many people can enjoy such a favor?

Soon there was an imperial decree from the palace: the sage will take the king of Wei to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. According to the old system of Tang Dynasty, he will leave in October, and Prince Zheng Hui will be left in Beijing to supervise the country.A memorial was pre-approved by the prince, and then sent to Shandong Yubi for personal approval.

The matter of Fengchan Taishan was also decided before the prince returned to Beijing, so the cabinet and various ministries had already made preparations.Although it was only a short time since the completion of major events such as establishing a reserve and granting rewards in the East Palace, all the ministries had sufficient manpower and financial resources. In just two months, the manpower and material resources for this east tour were properly prepared.

King Wei was in the Ministry of Rites, and he helped to prepare these things at the beginning, but at the time he thought that the younger brother who was going with him was not good enough.He didn't dare to openly add more utensils, so as not to leave a luxurious impression in front of his father, he only asked the princess to pack her daily clothes, cups, plates, stove, charcoal, etc., and go out of Beijing with her father.

Fengchan Taishan is no trivial matter.

In December, when the convoy arrived at Mount Tai, the emperor temporarily lived in the palace at the foot of the mountain.The king of Wei sympathized with his father's poor health, so he took the initiative to ask for the supervision of the "Fengfeng Altar" and "Dengfeng Altar", and decorated the altar with five-color soil brought from Beijing.

Although the weather was cold and the things he had to do were tedious and hard, his heart was burning hot, and he only hoped that his status would be raised to another level after this Feng Chan.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, the Son of Heaven formally ascended the stage to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and issued an imperial edict to punish Shi Jide.

Although the king of Wei didn't get the chance of "Ya Xian", but he was able to sacrifice to Mount Tai with his father, and his status was naturally higher than that of other princes.When he thought of this, he was as happy as he sacrificed to the heaven and the earth, and sighed to the altar: "Seeing the height of Mount Tai, you will know how small you are. Therefore, a man should climb to the top of Mount Tai, so that he can feel at ease with the heaven and the earth, and get a glimpse of it." The mountains are small..."

He expresses in every sentence that he will ascend to the throne in the future, recounts the merits and virtues of his life, and overlooks the ambitions of the kings, but outsiders actually only think that he is interested in poetry, and wants to imitate Du Gongbu's pride in climbing Mount Tai to make the world smaller. .

The emperor also asked him lovingly: "Do you love the scenery of Mount Tai?"

Naturally, I love it so much that I wish I could come back in a few years.

The emperor smiled and nodded: "This Mount Tai is not only beautiful, the foot of Mount Tai has been a prosperous and romantic place since ancient times, and Shandong has the Yellow River and canals passing by. If it is well managed, it will not be inferior to Hanzhong in the future."

Exactly.King Wei was about to nod his head in agreement, but his heart, which was bewildered by Feng Chan, suddenly tightened, feeling something was wrong.

Almost at the same time when he realized it, Emperor Xintai said tenderly and kindly: "It's good that you like this place. I know you are filial and considerate, and you have the ability to manage practical affairs. I am old and my health is not as good as before. I always Only if you want to settle down with you brothers can you rest assured. Since you love this land of Mount Tai, I will make it possible for you to change the title of King Wei to King Lu, and become a feudal clan at the foot of Mount Tai..."

He was full of pity for his son, and his words were gentle, but it made King Wei feel like ice water was pouring on his chest: "...to set an example for your younger brothers."
