MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 151 End of text
Shangjing.
When Emperor Hui died, the coffin was parked in the Qianqing Palace where Emperor Hui lived before his death, and a mourning hall was set up in the Qianqing Palace to show the end of his life.
Twenty-seven days after the death in Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hui's coffin was transferred to Yongyou Hall of Yonghe Palace for storage, waiting for the funeral to enter the imperial mausoleum.
During this period, the palace held various rituals such as funeral rituals, morning and evening rituals, and funeral rituals in accordance with the funeral rituals formulated by the Ministry of Rites.
When everyone was speculating about how the prince would investigate the matter of Prince Liang leading his troops into the capital, the prince ordered Prince Ning, Prince Jin and Prince Liang to return to Beijing to cry for Emperor Hui.
The whole court is all clear in their hearts, and the prince is probably going to settle the case of King Liang.
However, the news from Qingzhou and Jingzhou said that Ning Wang Fengsui and Liang Wang Fengyi were missing, and Liang Wang Zhengfei and side concubine were also found dead in Liang Wangfu.
It is very likely that King Liang Fengyi fled in fear of crime, but what happened to King Ning?
King Fengxian of Jin once led Yuzhou troops to stop King Liang from entering Beijing. Although he only delayed King Liang for two days, he also bought time for the prince to return to Beijing.
The King of Jin had already made a contribution, but if he refused to return to Beijing, he would still look like a ghost in his heart, so Feng Xian took the princess Xie Qing, and the couple, both in plain clothes, returned to Beijing for the funeral.
After several days of discussions between the Cabinet, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy, it was finally proposed that Emperor Hui's posthumous title should be "Jing Tian Chang Yun Jian Zhong Table Text Wu Ying Ming Kuan Ren Xin Yi Da Xiao Zhi Cheng Xian Emperor". 【1】
Prince Feng Zhan nodded in agreement and ordered the Ministry of Industry to create a treasure trove.
On the forty-seventh day of Emperor Hui's death, the crown prince Feng Zhanling, the minister of civil and military affairs, gave a posthumous ceremony outside the Lama Temple, where Emperor Hui died, "posthumous" for Emperor Hui, and awarded the posthumous title to the world.
On the 18th day of the seventh lunar month, the Imperial City Meridian Gate was set up with a grand elevation and a guard of honor, and a funeral ceremony for the emperor was held.
On the 19th day of the seventh lunar month, the coffin of Emperor Hui was covered with a colorful cloth, and the coffin was carried out of the Lama Temple by the dragon sedan chair, and the funeral ceremony was held outside the Meridian Gate.
The funeral procession departed from the Wumen Gate, and on the way to the imperial mausoleum, altars were set up by the princes, ministers and squires to offer sacrifices.
After entering the cemetery, the coffin was first placed in the Hall of Enjoyment, and the ritual of soothing the gods was performed.
When the time for burial arrives, a relocation ceremony will be held, and the coffin will be carried to the underground palace. A gift was also held outside the gate of the underground palace, and the posthumous book, treasure seal, underworld utensils, and funerary clothing and treasures were placed inside, and then the gate of the underground palace was closed, and finally a salute was held in front of the underground palace. 【2】
At this point, a tedious set of funeral rituals for the emperor was completed, and the era of Emperor Hui officially ended.
------
In the successive dynasties of Dxia, before the new emperor ascended to the throne, the courtiers would play a series of inscriptions to show their support to the new emperor, which was called persuasion.
And there are often false pretences of three persuasion and two concessions.
That is, if the ministers first persuaded, the crown prince refused; if they persuaded again, they still refused; until the third persuasion, the prince "reluctantly" obeyed and agreed to become the emperor. 【3】
After Emperor Hui entered the mausoleum, the courtiers continued to persuade the prince to enter, but after three times, the prince still did not answer.
The news from the Prince's Mansion is still the same,
"The day the Crown Princess returns to Beijing is when the Crown Prince ascends the throne."
And the princess has been away from Beijing for many days, but there is no sign of coming back.
Now that the world is settled, the ladies and wives in Shangjing have started to gossip again. These days, there are also some half-truths and half-truths about the Crown Princess Qin Yan in Beijing.
Some people say that the Crown Princess Qin Yan seems to be afraid of the cold, and this constitution is extremely difficult to conceive.
The prince and the princess have been married for some time, but there is no news that the prince is pregnant.
I heard that when Yizhou was breached, the Crown Princess also carried the Yizhou Wangfu, which was not something a pregnant woman could do.
Could it be... the rumor is true?
The crown prince is about to ascend to the throne, there can be no only one queen in the harem, and he will definitely accept other concubines. No matter how much the Crown Prince values the Crown Princess, this royal family has to spread its branches and leaves, right?
As a result, some active ladies and wives made up their minds to enter the palace.
This also includes the wife of Ji Chong, the doctor of the censorship.
It was night, and Mrs. Ji tried to say to the censor, Ji Chong:
"Master, can our daughter be sent to the palace? With the family background of Ji Mansion, it is enough for our daughter to seal the concubine. When the time comes..."
"Shut up!" Ji Chong shouted to stop his wife's unfinished words.
Ji Chong cautiously glanced at the closed door, then turned to Madam Ji and said:
"Women's Shallow Views!"
"Send your daughter to the palace? You can talk nonsense? Do you think I'm tired of Ji Chong's life?"
"I have never concealed the matter from the court to Madam. Madam, don't you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not turn over the matter of the previous Crown Princess's impeachment?"
"The prince wants to settle old accounts for the princess, and we probably have some idea of how many madams our censors have participated in."
"At this time, who dares to bump into the bad head?"
"Even if our daughter can enter the palace by the means of the Crown Princess, can she defeat the Crown Princess?"
"Madam dismissed this idea, I will not bring it up again in the future. Even if there is really going to be a newcomer in the palace today, let our daughter stay away."
"Remember?"
In the end, Mrs. Ji nodded with a stiff face.
She just thought about it, not to mention, her daughter also wanted to.
Then wait and see...
------
The next day, the imperial censor Ji Chong visited An Da Shifu with a generous gift.
University scholar An Shifeng's study.
Ji Chong said to An Shifeng with an embarrassed expression:
"At the beginning, the imperial court's impeachment of the princess was influenced by the prince, and the officials of the imperial court were too stubborn and conservative in thinking, and felt that the princess and a woman should not have such arrogant actions in Xirong, so they participated in it. Impeach."
"Master An, you are the tutor of His Royal Highness, and you are deeply trusted by His Royal Highness. What does His Highness mean? I would like to ask Master An to talk about it and come up with ideas."
"Prince Concubine hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, and His Royal Highness has always refused to take the throne. It's not the way to delay."
"In the end, it's up to His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess to get rid of this anger. Master An, what do you think?"
Ji Chong looked at the senior scholar An Shifeng who was slowly brewing tea across the tea table, and quietly waited for the senior scholar An to give him some hints.
After a cup of tea, Ji Chong got this sentence from the mouth of An Da Shi,
"Wood has a source, and water has a source."
Book? source?
Ji Chong's mind kept lingering with the words of An Da Shi, he left the Da Shi Mansion and went to the Censor Terrace.
What is the foundation, what is the source?
An epiphany flashed in Ji Chong's mind.
The prince was hesitant because of the impeachment of the prince concubine. If he wanted the prince to calm down and ascend to the throne, they should praise the prince for what they praised the prince!
------
In the next few days, since the Censor Station, the courtiers have written letters one after another, and the caliber of all the ministers and officials is surprisingly consistent:
"For this Xirong, Shuobei, Nanjiang, and the soldiers guarding Shangjing should be rewarded for their merits. Among them, the Crown Princess should be the first."
"The prince concubine took Xirong without bloodshed; controlling Xirong left the Turks isolated and helpless, and the prince also led people into the Turkic hinterland to surprise the Turkic Khan king, causing serious injuries to the Turkic Khan; the prince concubine took the Yizhou palace, ending Yizhou's vain attempt to split In the chaos outside of Daxia, the Crown Princess has made countless contributions to Daxia..."
All the ministers' memorials were full of praises and praises by the Crown Princess Qin Yan.
After these memorials were piled high on the prince's desk, the prince nodded and agreed to the courtiers' proposal, and then ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to draw up the list and content of the reward.
The Ministry of Rites submitted the memorial of the proposed reward to the Prince's Mansion, and when the memorial was sent back, a reply from Prince Feng Zhan was added:
"Give Xirong and Yizhou the fiefdoms of Crown Princess Qin Yan."
When this news came out, everyone was shocked!
The entire Xirong and Yizhou as the crown princess's fief?
Although these two places were won, the Crown Princess did play a vital role, but is this a bit too much...
Soon, the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy came up with a set of rhetoric to silence the ministers who seemed to have objections to the crown prince's fief.
"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Gaozu also set a fief of Yuzhou for the empress who was suffering together. It was only because the empress died many years later that Yuzhou was taken back."
The opposition to China gradually disappeared.
But no one knows that moving out of Gaozu is just a reason for His Royal Highness to give the Crown Princess this great honor.
Emperor Gaozu and his empress were recognized as having a deep relationship with each other. It seems that His Highness the Prince and the Concubine are not far behind.
Thinking that the Empress Dowager Xiao only entrusted Yizhou to her old friend, she reluctantly left a back-up for the Empress Dowager herself. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly made Yizhou and Xirong the fiefs of the Crown Princess.
It is true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of the Crown Princess.
Fengtian Hall issued an imperial edict jointly drafted by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, and announced it to the world.
And the Crown Princess was given two fiefs of Xirong and Yizhou. This news will shock many people...
------
The prince softened his mouth, and ordered the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to prepare for the ceremony of the ceremony and the posthumous ceremony.
The courtiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Another news came out from the Prince's Mansion, which surprised Manchao again.
His Royal Highness the Prince is about to visit the Northwest.
During His Royal Highness the Prince's tour of the West, he ordered the King of Jin to stay in Beijing and take over the responsibility of supervising the country.
King Jin Fengxian didn't expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the prince. Although the whole dynasty was full of princes, his supervision of the country was only a vain name, and he didn't have much real power, but the prince's action seemed to give him a chance. A signal that may be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.
The scale of the Prince's western tour this time is huge, and the Chifeng soldiers will total more than 50,000, and there are many participants. Including some officials of the six ministries, the entourage also includes An Shifeng, a cabinet scholar and minister of rituals, and Du Xian, minister of households.
Du Xian, the minister of households, went with him because His Royal Highness ordered him to inspect Xirong and Yizhou, as well as the trade route with the Western Regions.
However, the mission of the Minister of Rites, the Grand Master, was related to welcoming Qin Yan, the princess who was about to ascend the throne.
It is not false to say that the prince's western tour is for the public, but another reason is also true.
His Royal Highness is going to welcome the Crown Princess in person!
At the end of July, to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, Sheji, Taimiao and Xiaoling Mausoleum, the western patrol team departed from Shangjing and headed west.
------
Meishan.
Feng Zhan went up the mountain in the evening. He was about to meet the woman who made him miss him. Feng Zhan didn't want to delay any longer.
At that time, Qin Yan was reclining on a soft slump in Wanxuezhai's yard, and Shen Ying, who was beside him, was shaking a fan, enjoying the coolness.
The entire Meishan Mountain, from the top to the bottom, was guarded by Qin Yan's people.
After Wanxuezhai was forcibly requisitioned by Qin Yan, Master Yishan went to wander around the world again with an ugly face.
When he left, Yi Shan was a little puzzled. As usual, Xiao Yanyan would come to him alone, but this time it was a big one, with so many guards, it really didn't seem like Xiao Yanyan's usual style.
With her skills, she still needs so many guards? Not so!
Yishan couldn't think of a reason, so he shook his head and went down the mountain.
Hey, after this encounter, I have to find another hilltop to live in seclusion.
As for the news of the prince going up the mountain, Qin Yan naturally received it immediately.
this man...
After Feng Zhan stepped into the yard, he saw the woman leaning on the soft collapse at a glance. Feng Zhan's eyes dimmed, and everyone in the courtyard was sent back.
Before leaving, Shen Ying looked a little confused. She glanced at the prince, and then at her master who was still resting with her eyes closed. In the end, Shen Ying didn't say anything, and went out of the courtyard with Song Zhi.
The news should be told by the master himself to His Royal Highness.
The steady footsteps walked in towards Qin Yan step by step, the man's strong breath rushed towards his face, Feng Zhan leaned over to Qin Yan, domineeringly and passionately kissed the woman he was thinking about day and night, his woman.
After the kiss, Feng Zhan went to the couch, rubbed Qin Yan into his arms, and relieved his thoughts.
These days, he can only occasionally dream...
Qin Yan moved his body and gently separated the contact between his abdomen and the man's hard body with his hands.
Feng Zhan didn't miss Qin Yan's subtle action, he frowned slightly,
Qin Yan, are you resisting him?
Feng Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned over and kissed again.
The two of them gradually became warm, and when their lips and teeth were separated, Feng Zhan's thin lips pressed against Qin Yan's auricle, and he murmured:
"Yanyan's body remembers being lonely."
Qin Yan was a little soft because of Feng Zhan's low-mellow magnetic voice in her ear, but her reason still prevailed. Qin Yan covered her abdomen with one hand and put one hand on Feng Zhan's hard chest, ready to get up.
Feng Zhan's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't think Qin Yan was making trouble with him.
Qin Yan seems to have some worries?
Feng Zhan pressed the woman back into his arms and whispered:
"Xirong and Yizhou will be under your control, and Yanyan can blatantly raise troops."
"Gu won't break your wings. No matter what happens in the future, Yan Yan doesn't have to be afraid."
"Yanyan, go back with Gu."
But the woman in his arms still didn't respond, Feng Zhan felt a chill in his heart, what happened?
It seemed that there was only one thing left. Fortunately, the woman was quite satisfied with his body.
Feng Zhan turned over and pressed Qin Yan under his body, his thin lips pressed against Qin Yan's tender white neck, and said dumbly:
"Yanyan, call Senior Brother Gu."
And just as Feng Zhan's movements started, Qin Yan suddenly pushed him away.
Feng Zhan frowned and looked down at the woman under him.
Even beauty doesn't work?
Qin Yan looked at the man's handsome face and sighed softly:
"I'm not going back."
A cold air instantly rose from Feng Zhan's body.
This woman, don't want him anymore?
Feng Zhan was about to lean over and move again when Qin Yan whispered:
"The tire is not stable yet, and it is not suitable for long-distance bumps at this time."
Feng Zhan's movements stopped for a moment, and he looked at Qin Yan in disbelief.
Did he hear it wrong?
However, Feng Zhan still supported the couch surface with his palm like a conditioned reflex, got up quickly, and left Qin Yan's body. However, Feng Zhan's eyes kept falling on the abdomen that Qin Yan was protecting with both hands.
Feng Zhan looked at Qin Yan's delicate face again. Just as he was about to speak, the woman took a step forward and said slowly:
"Feng Zhan, you are going to be a father."
------
For the next half month, Feng Zhan and Qin Yan still lived in Wanxuezhai, Meishan.
Qin Yan read and painted in Wanxuezhai every day, but Feng Zhan went down the mountain twice, to Yizhou and Xirong respectively.
It was not until the fetus in Qin Yan's womb was more than three months pregnant, and after Ji Nanfeng checked Qin Yan's pulse to confirm that the fetus was stable and strong, Qin Yan and Feng Zhan set off to return to the capital.
And this time, it was Feng Zhan's turn to hesitate whether to let Qin Yan go back to Beijing immediately. He would not allow Qin Yan to make any mistakes.
But Qin Yan said:
"This child came down from the battlefield with me, not so delicate."
Feng Zhan compromised temporarily, but ordered the carriage to travel very slowly, so it took a month to arrive at Shangjing.
At the beginning of September, Prince Feng Zhan returned to court with Crown Princess Qin Yan, and announced on the same day that the Crown Princess was pregnant with an imperial heir.
At this point, the rumor that the crown princess may be difficult to conceive has been subverted.
------
A few days later, Jin Tianjian selected auspiciousness, and Prince Feng Zhan dispatched the Minister of Rites, An Shifeng, to perform sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the imperial mausoleum to report the new emperor's ascension to heaven and ancestors.
On the same day, the bell and drum were sounded, Prince Feng Zhan put his crown on the throne of Fengtian Temple, and Prince Concubine Qin Yan raised the phoenix seat with curtains beside the throne.
The Beiya Imperial Army blew the whip, the hundred officials expressed their congratulations, performed five bows and three kowtows, and then promulgated the enthronement edict.
The prince enthroned Zhan as emperor, and set the era name as "Taichang", which meant that the world would be peaceful and prosperous.
After the ceremony, Feng Zhan received the congratulations from the ministers in Fengtian Hall, and established the crown princess Qin Yan as the queen, and presented the golden book Jinbao.
An imperial edict was issued on the same day to inform the subjects of the world.
At the same time, the new emperor Feng Zhan announced that the empress would be able to participate in the deliberation.
Of course, Qin Yan was pregnant, and Feng Zhan was reluctant to make Qin Yan overworked, so how could she really let her handle political affairs together.
Regarding Qin Yan's pregnancy, Feng Zhan had mixed feelings in his heart.
Feng Zhan has always been worried that Qin Yan will encounter uncontrollable risks due to childbirth. Even at this moment, Feng Zhan's worries have not stopped.
But at the same time in Feng Zhan's heart, there was a secret thought, that the child in Qin Yan's belly came into the world, which would make him and Qin Yan more entangled.
Is it possible for him to respect his father and his son, so that Qin Yan is no longer so free and easy to himself?
So, has His Royal Highness's pursuit of his wife really settled this time?
