0825 The King's Distress
Shenyuan, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, has long become the most famous landmark building in the capital, and no one is it.
Many people who have entered the capital often stop by boats on the Qinhuai River and go to see Chenyuan Zhaixing Tower, a building known as the first building on the river.
After all, the architecture is a dead object. It is true that the Zhaixing Tower is towering on the Qinhuai River and the buildings are grand and beautiful, but if you see it too much, it will inevitably become ordinary. The reason why Zhaixing Tower can always attract attention is not only because of its own beautiful architecture, but also because of the characters and stories outside the architecture.
If you want to talk about the stories related to Zhaixing Tower, even ordinary people can talk about them for a long time: discussing the Tao in the sky, fire dragons soaring into the sky, and fu hanging on the sky... The so-called salty and romantic things, on this first floor, have gradually become the consensus of people of the times.
Since the southward transition, Jiangdong has been a turbulent autumn, especially the period of Emperor Ming Taining to the present, with frequent changes in Xianhe. Every sudden change means a re-division of the situation. The rise and fall of individuals, the rise and fall of family, and even the ups and downs of national destiny are really inexhaustible. In such a violent and turbulent era, no one dared to speak out and could establish the world without being harmed.
However, in the turbulent melody of this great era, there is a small episode that has always maintained a vigorous rhythm of progress. As for now, it is famous and integrated into and even leads to the passionate main melody!
"The prince-consort was not born with a high standard. He entered the capital at the age of age and did not recognize the virtuous... Even when the reputation gradually rose, it was often wrong. Xiang Nian Capital and Xu Junyan, Wang Changyu died in his prime, and there was no news about Yin's origins. Only the daughter-in-law appeared in the world every day. He has been rich and has no match for his peers, and his virtuous elders are even inferior..."
Outside the Chenyuan, on the Qinhuai River, there are often locals in Jiankang who preach the stories extended from this Zhaixing Tower. The tone is proud of witnessing the growth of this young master from Jiangdong. Those who hear it often sigh, deeply regretting that they cannot know each other, and deeply regretting that they cannot witness the romantic and grand occasion of Zhaixing Tower in previous years. Today, Chen's prince consort has been praised and respected from both the north and the south, and because of his diligent use of the king, he has not been to Zhaixing Tower for several years.
Recently, the number of tourists around Chenyuan has increased, because people at that time knew that Chen's concubine had returned to the capital and might go to Zhaixing Tower to gather friends again. Even if they were not able to enter the building, it would be a comfort to be able to witness the romantic atmosphere of Zhaixing Tower with their own eyes.
As expected, hard work pays off. On this day, Shen Gongfang's Shen family carried a large number of ox carts and used various items to be arranged in the building, as if they were preparing for a large gathering. So the informants all went to ask whether Prince Shen would climb the tower today, and did their best to find an invitation.
Not to mention that most of the people in the capital were thrilled because of this. After the afternoon, the children of the capital had already arrived. In previous years, the ox carts and robes and elegant utensils were standard equipment for children from the capital. However, now the martial arts style is gradually recovering, especially the prince-consort is the current martial arts honors.
Therefore, most of the children of these families who attended gave up riding a car, riding horses, or traveling in a wide range, holding their heads and chests. Especially after seeing many onlookers around Shenyuan, their expressions were even more arrogant, as if they were colorful roosters, holding their heads and walking into the park under the guidance of the Shen family.
As for the onlookers around, they were indeed envious. Now Zhaixing Tower has a high status in the minds of the people in the capital. Being invited to climb the tower is an honor that can be boasted for a long time. Not to mention that Chen's prince consort is now in the capital. If he is invited by the prince consort to climb the tower, it is even more honorable.
For a time, among the onlookers, the aristocratic families who had some identities were not patient to wait here, and left to inquire about the inside story, and made up their minds to get an invitation no matter what the price they paid. Otherwise, if the prince-consort was invited to the banquet, but they were not invited, what qualifications were there to praise him and be talented? Should we still be in the capital in the future?
The abnormal movements in Chenyuan caused the riots to the capital were not limited to young people, but soon some Taiwanese officials were affected. They may have been over the age of being invited to be named, but they always have children. Now Chen Weizhou has become the recognized young wise man in Jiangdong. No matter what their perception of Chen Weizhou’s senses, if their children can contact him, the benefits will always outweigh the disadvantages, and will be of certain benefits for future development.
So many Taiwanese ministers went to the Shangshu Desk, wanting to find Chen Chong to ask for one or two invitations for their children with some slightest face. As a result, when they arrived at the Shangshu Desk, they found that Chen Chong had not yet dismissed his leave and had not come to Taicheng at all, so they all turned to the Shaofuqing Office.
The Central Office of the Taiwan Central Office and the Secretary of the Central Committee Chu Hu summoned the cliques to discuss the issues of government orders in Huainan, Henan and other places later. As a result, after waiting for nearly an hour, only two or three of them were present. Chu Hu Hu was naturally a little dissatisfied. After asking for a moment, he found out what the reason was, so he was inevitably even more displeased: "This Chen Weizhou is not unaware that he is very popular with the attention of the people of the times, and his actions are so straightforward!"
If the staff is more than half of the vacancies, then a fart meeting will be held. Chu Hu waved his hand in the table and disbanded the group of staff. After a moment of being humiliated, he asked Chu Xi, the son who served as the palace prison in Taichung, and said, "It has been ten days since the Xie family's second son Wuyi returned from Huainan. Have you ever visited him?"
After hearing this, Chu Xi shook his head and said, "There are many ceremonies recently, and there are many common people in the palace. Besides, his son and Xie Wuyi had no deep friendship, and he was also controlled by Chen Weizhou. There is always embarrassment when they meet."
After hearing this, Chu Hun's face turned dark, and he couldn't help but feel sincerely that his family was not surprised to have to educate Shaoxian. Seeing that his son's face was firm and full of awareness of opposition, Chu Hun felt helpless and sighed: "What's wrong with Chen Weizhou and the Taiwan Strait? Let's worry about it when you reach the position of the Three Dukes. The Xie family is close to the door, so how can they neglect human relations? I'll write a note here, and you'll get some gifts when you go home. Let's go to visit Xie Wuyi. If you meet a gathering with your peers, don't be in a hurry and stay there for a question and answer."
Chu Xi was a little bit conservative in human affairs, but he was not a fool. He also heard that Chenyuan was about to have a banquet today. Xie Yi, as Chen Weizhou's close subordinate, must have been present. His father ordered this, so he naturally hoped that he would go to Chenyuan.
However, he was still a little embarrassed: "But, I really have no friendship with Chen Weizhou. Is it a bit of a visit to see you like this..."
"Chen Weizhou is a young and powerful leader who is highly praised by the world, and you don't have to narrowly measure him. Being able to sit with such a person will also inspire you. Go."
Chu Hu waved his hand and urged him again. He did have some political conflicts with the Shen family now, but he was very sure of Shen Zhezi's talent. Letting his son contact Chen Weizhou is not about hoping to make a great progress, but also hopes to lay a lot of choices for his children.
He planned to send his son to Huainan for training. Even if he was not a first-class talent, with him, a father who is still in power, Chen Weizhou would not deliberately suppress him. As he said just now, even if there is any discord between him and Chen Weizhou here, his son Chu Xi's weight is still far from reaching.
It is common to have political disputes, but if the family members are in contact with each other, it is not an attitude of doing things. If everyone is like this, what will happen at that time?
Is the Wang family in Langya a big grudge with the Shen family? When Wang Dao was the Taiping Insurance Officer, he had to requisition Chen Weizhou as a servant, but Chen Weizhou was too troubled and unable to suppress it. Chu Hu did not think that his son could deal with Chen Weizhou, but if he just focused on doing things seriously, he could always achieve promotion by following the rules.
It was obvious that Chu Xi was still a little lacking in political wisdom. He could not understand his father's orders, but he did not dare to disobey. After Chu Hu wrote a letter of ordinary greetings, he took a leave of absence in his arms and left Taicheng.
In the past half a day, such trade-offs and discussions occurred frequently between the various portals. As for the initiator Shen Zhezi, he was not complacent because of the occasional thought that aroused such a large fluctuation in the city, and even a little depressed.
"In previous years, I have been very familiar with my age, and I always feel that there are many unsatisfactory things in the world. Especially Chen Qing and Yu Shu are so beautiful that they are not as good as the river, which contrasts with many of the same age, but I just feel that the world owes me a lot."
The emperor has also reached adolescence in the past two years. His body has grown much taller. He is no longer short and fat as before. Now he has gradually become solid. His white cheeks are like ripe white melons...
Melon? Bah!
This kid cannot be associated with his beautiful and sweet melon in all aspects, and Shen Zhezi spat in his heart. But then again, as he grows older, his facial features gradually open up. Although the emperor is still fat, it is still slightly considerable compared to his childhood. After all, Shen Zhezi's father-in-law, Emperor Suzu, and the Empress Dowager, have a good foundation. It is already a pity that this kid can make a slightly considerable evaluation.
However, even though I am older, my IQ is still a little lacking. What is this saying? Is it wrong for me to be too good? Is it wrong for you to feel ashamed of yourself?
Shen Zhezi sat in the table, lowered his head and acted in a fake sleep, without responding to the emperor's words.
"Chen Qing...Chen Qing? Brother-in-law, I'm talking to you, you can't help me!"
The emperor sat upright in the seat, held his hair and raised his head to the small crown: "I haven't seen each other for so long, I have accumulated a lot of words to tell you, are you speechless to me?"
"Um……"
Shen Zhezi responded, as if he was giving face, and was thinking about what kind of views he had instilled in his family with the emperor out of the palace and instilled in his family!
It was better to have such a response, and the emperor became interested again. He leaned forward and whispered and said, "In previous years, I sighed that brother-in-law, you are always impeccable. But there is no perfection in the world? Alas, I was not easy to say this. But this is also what people see, and the world's theory of justice, whether it is said or not, it is like this."
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he became a little interested and looked up at the emperor. Then he saw that the emperor was radiant and his fat cheeks were white and bright: "You know this matter, brother-in-law, you know this. I used my brother-in-law to help me before I met the bride of Jiangxia's house. The wife of Jiangxia's family is beautiful. I don't only care about beauty and have a gentle character. Earlier, my mother invited the wife of the sect to give me praise, and they all praised me. Alas, I don't want to compete with you with my brother-in-law, but in this matter, I am indeed better than my brother-in-law."
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, but I don't know that Your Majesty is already quite capable of learning."
Now the two were in the side hall of the Empress Dowager's harem. Shen Zhezi could see clothes flashing by the window at this angle, and then raised his face and said seriously: "But the lady who is in the palace is always rude."
After hearing this, the emperor laughed: "This has nothing to do with learning. Men are always asking for compliments. Brother-in-law, you can praise everything, but you are only a little bit owed. Oh, I am sorry to brother-in-law. If you had been disciplined in the past, you would not have been so mean to be so bad. But brother-in-law, you are right. I will only discuss this with you in private, and I cannot say to the third party. My sister is indeed a little bit worse than Mrs. Ahjang, no..."
Although the emperor was sorry, his tone was full of show-off, and then his voice stopped abruptly. Then Shen Zhezi was lucky enough to see a strange scene: his fat white cheeks rose into a bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like peeled shrimps cooked and fried in oil, and never knew that human faces could become so vivid.
The emperor quickly sat up straight, raised his face and snorted coldly. Although the deterrence was a little lacking, he was full of posture: "Sister, how could you be so rude? I and Shen Qing were discussing state affairs. How could a woman have a private view? I think you are a first offense and withdraw quickly."
Princess Xingnan pursed her lips and shook her breath, then said, "I'll tell the emperor, my mother learned that my husband would give birth to Shaoxian at the banquet today, and allowed the emperor to go out to visit the gatherings of the time to prepare for policy selection."
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi handed Princess Xingnan a knowing look. He made a special choice to visit the Empress Dowager today, which means this.
"I, I won't go!"
When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed even more, and he suddenly retreated, his tone of grief and anger.
"Don't make a fuss, prepare quickly, you will return to the garden before midnight."
Princess Xingnan was slightly pitying. Although she would be the main perpetrator later, she felt a little reluctant when she thought of the situation that the emperor would encounter next.
