The struggle of the reborn prince

"My lord found another good thing for me!" Huang Jingchen looked at the secret letter sent by his lord and said with a wry smile. Now both of them have seen He Qufei, but they have suffered a lot from the errands.First of all, no matter how much he persuaded the old guy, he just refused to resign, or the prince tricked him into the mansion for a while, solved the main problem, but added such a trouble.

"Sir, what is your order?" Shunzi asked hastily.

"He Qufei is that old man, the lord has managed to stabilize himself and is on his way back to Beijing, but he is unwilling to take up the post because he is a military officer. The lord ordered us to try our best to change his official position!" Huang Jingchen will Burn the letter and say.

"This old man is quite stubborn, why does the prince just look at him? But it shouldn't be difficult for a lady to come forward." Shunzi said.

"He Qufei was demoted out of Beijing because he was not good at communication, was arrogant, and offended too many people. Now he has made great achievements in governing the region. Holding a grudge against him, this matter is not easy to deal with!" Huang Jingchen sighed and said, "The empress is our biggest backer, the prince has repeatedly emphasized, don't speak easily until the critical moment, don't alarm the empress for such a trivial matter!"

"Is the prince overly cautious, are they mother and son still using these?" Shunzi asked puzzled.

"Don't forget that there is more than just the son of the prince in the official family, and there are even more beauties in the harem. The life of the empress is also difficult. If these trivial matters have to be alarmed by the empress to tell the official family, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's resentment and wariness. This is not good for us in the long run!" Huang Jingchen explained.

"My lord is very thoughtful!" Huang Jingchen said a little, and Shunzi immediately understood, he sighed.

"Bring me the copper tripod from the Zhou Dynasty that you just received, and prepare two sets of glass cups from the store opposite. I'm going to treat someone to dinner today!" Huang Jingchen thought for a moment and ordered.

"Who do you want to invite the high officials?" The gifts were not light, and the sum totaled tens of thousands.

"Grandma Liang, Liang Shicheng!" Huang Jingchen said with a smile, and Shunzi nodded. Liang Shicheng's market has been bullish in the past two years. Even Cai Jing and his son, who have power over the world, have to flatter him. "Hidden Prime Minister" stands at the same level as "Prince Minister" Cai Jing and "Prime Minister" Tong Guan. This person has a good relationship with them. This person is on the prince's 'blacklist' and they get gifts every New Year's Day.

"Stop, grab him!" Just as the two were talking, there were shouts from the street outside the window.

"Oh, it must be the yamen servants arresting people again. The new etiquette law has been implemented for more than half a month, but there are fewer and fewer people on the street. If this continues, our restaurant will not be able to open!" Shunzi said with a sigh, Huang Jingchen could only shake his head and smile wryly, the prince's father is going crazy again, no one can control this matter.

.......

Since last year, Zhao Ji felt that "bandits and bandits are rampant and people's customs are corrupt" and decided to pay close attention to the construction of spiritual civilization and restore the ancient system in an all-round way, even wedding and funeral etiquette and clothing.He believes that etiquette should trace the meaning of the three dynasties, and the current "Kaiyuan ceremony" practiced in the Tang Dynasty is no longer suitable for the new situation and is not enough for the law.Therefore, he personally wrote the eleven volumes of "Crown Ritual History" and handed it to the Yili Bureau, ordering the Yili Bureau to rebuild the five rituals accordingly.In the first month of the third year of Zhenghe, the five rites were newly revised. There were 220 six volumes in total, including six volumes of the catalogue.

In order to intensify the enforcement, there were patrols on the streets of Kaifeng to check and prohibit illegal clothing and exotic clothes.

No matter what kind of reform, no matter how many people are hurt, there are always beneficiaries.But they are a minority, and it is the majority who suffer.There are more than one million residents in Kaifeng City, and there are many officials, merchants, and scholars from all over the world. No one can find out the true identity and rank of each person. Purpose?It's all up to these yamen servants to have the final say, they can determine arbitrarily during the inspection, Lao Tzu is the king's law, and he can use various excuses to carry out extortion

The originally bustling and romantic Tokyo city was suddenly miserable, filled with a tense and terrifying atmosphere. People from other places fled Beijing one after another, and local residents dared not go out without incident.From Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate, from Xinsong Gate to Xinzheng Gate, there were originally a sea of ​​people, bustling with each other.Now it has become desolate and desolate, with few cars and horses in front of the door.Restaurants, tea shops, brothels, and karaoke halls are also neglected in front of them, which is a big spoiler.

When common people get married, because the etiquette does not conform to the new regulations, the government servants and Lu Xu will come to ask the teacher about the crime, and the funeral rites do not conform, and the deceased cannot be buried in the earth.Cai Taishi likes to wear blue clothes, called Taishi Qing, if people wear this color clothes, it is not in line with etiquette and disrespect Cai Taishi.In the same way, yellow, gold, purple and other clothing colors are also prohibited. What do cloth shops sell?There are few people, craftsmen are unemployed, and taxes are unpaid.

"Jiaoyun melts into the spring, and I leave Fengcheng with my concubine. The Jingjiang faction came to the Forbidden City, and the abyss and the sky are far away." As soon as Zhao Ji's imperial pen was written, Zhao Kai had already chanted, "Father Huang wrote a good poem Ah, this time, this place, this scene is all in the poem!"

"Haha!" Zhao Ji couldn't stop laughing as he listened to the flattery. Everywhere he looked, there were smiling faces, but suddenly he found that the eldest son Zhao Huan in the crowd was frowning, "Huaner, this scene is not good. Is it beautiful?" he asked concerned.

"Father, this place is very beautiful, but it's too extravagant!" Zhao Huan bowed and said.

"Brother, now the national treasury is full, the people are happy, the old palace is too narrow, and the father and emperor only expanded it a little, how can it be said to be extravagant!" Before Zhao Ji could speak, Zhao Kai said first.

"Huh!" Zhao Ji looked worried, and moved forward with his sleeves. Zhao Kai hurriedly supported his father forward, leaving Zhao Huan in a daze. He looked at the newly completed Yanfu Palace. slightly shorter.It reaches Jinglongmen in the east and Tianbomen in the west.There are two horizontal gates in the east and west of the palace, which are called Chenhui and Lize respectively.The palace is composed of seven halls and fifteen pavilions. The mountains are piled up with stones, the pools are dug into the sea, and the lakes are filled with sparse springs. It is full of rare birds and animals, and precious flowers and trees.Junhao outside the city, the water depth is three feet, built Jinglong, Tianbo Second Bridge, stacked stones under the bridge as a garden, leading boats to connect with each other, named Jinglong River, and planted exotic flowers on the bank between Jinglong River and Fengqiu Gate Different woods and temples are facing each other, isn't it right to say that they are extravagant?

"Huan'er, let's go!" Just when Zhao Huan was sad, a gentle hand patted him.

"Mother's queen!" Zhao Huan realized in surprise that it was Queen Zheng Hongmei, and hurriedly saluted.

"Your father is very interested in the completion of the new palace today, so don't spoil his interest and displease him!" Zheng Hongmei said softly.

"I would like to obey my mother's teaching!" Zhao Huan replied respectfully.

"Huan'er will swim with us!" Zheng Hongmei looked at him, fearing that he would be rude in front of the emperor, so she asked Zhao Huan to go with her.

"Thank you mother!" Zhao Huan looked at his sisters on the left and right, each of them was full of interest, pointing and laughing, but he felt very lonely.

"Oh, I don't know what would happen if Taurus was here?" Zheng Hongmei glanced at Zhao Huan, who was almost the same height as her, who was walking behind her, and then looked at Zhao Kai, who was walking with the emperor, and thought, " Now the voices of the imperial court and Li Chu are reappearing, and the most vocal one is the eldest son of the emperor, but the emperor doesn't seem to like him, but prefers the third prince Zhao Kai, but he doesn't know how much weight Taurus has in the hearts of the officials. I haven't seen him, have I already forgotten him..."

Zhao Ji suddenly saw that the bank of the pond in front of him twists and turns, which is natural and full of wild charm. The water of the pond is like a mirror, reflecting the shadows of trees, flowers, mountains, clouds, and various buildings.The water in the pool is colorless, but the colors are richer and more moving because of this.Among the trees and flowers, the sound of warblers reverberates, purple swallows fly together, and birds sing in harmony.In the water, mandarin ducks live and guard together, and gulls and herons are startled by the boat. The sound of spring water, fish jumping, birdsong, and people's laughter converge into a wonderful sound of nature.Although the pool surface is vast, attention should be paid to dividing the water surface with small islands, curved bridges, stone boats, and stream paths in the layout.

Zhao Ji walks along the Quqiao and walks to Shifang, "It's a beautiful scene. Although it is open here, it can give people a clear and cheerful feeling. It can be called a big handwriting of 'bold ink'!" Facing the spring breeze, he looked at the wide water surface Said.

"Does the official family have poems?" Liang Shicheng, who followed closely behind, hurried forward to hand paper and pen.

"The construction of the Longde Palace has been celebrated, and the secret house is clean and dedicated to the Sanqing. Penglai is not a rare thing, and thousands of towers and terraces are brightly lit. Yuyu is deep and cavernous, and the hills are green all the time. Looking around the fence and looking down at the green stream, It’s like a painted screen in the fairy city.” Zhao Ji wrote a poem with a brush, and he was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and elegant method.

"Thank you, the official!" Liang Shicheng was obsessed with the emperor, so he immediately ordered someone to serve tea and snacks for him to take a nap.

"Yeah!" Zhao Ji was very satisfied with this newcomer. Although Yang Jian is well-behaved, he is too old to follow his footsteps. "Shi Cheng, is that Zhou Ding?" Tongding asked.

"The officials have good eyesight. This was donated by He Zhengtong, the magistrate of Cangzhou, who returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. Seeing the emptiness here, he decided to place it there. Do the officials think it is appropriate?" Liang Shicheng said with a smile.

"Not bad!" Zhao Ji got up and circled around the tripod and said, "This thing is rare. It looks like something from the palace of King Zhou, but it is a good thing. You just said it was presented by He Zhengtong?"

"That's right, he is a doctor of martial arts conferred by the late emperor, but his writings are outstanding. His late father, Xueshi Su, spoke highly of him. He recommended him to change to a civilian job many times, but he has not been able to do so, which is a pity!"

"Queen, did you ever want this person to be your teacher?" Zhao Ji nodded, suddenly remembering such a thing.

"Officials, yes, Taurus is far away in the countryside, and has never been taught by a famous teacher. He Zhengtong is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and my concubine really has this intention!" Zheng Hongmei hurriedly replied.

"Well, he was awarded a doctorate by the late emperor, and Su Xueshi once praised him, so it seems that he is really talented!" Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Shi Cheng, please take a look at this person for me. If you like it, you can transfer him first." Capital, select civil positions!"

"I would like to obey the sacred order!" Liang Shicheng bowed and said, "Since the emperor agrees, I will get him a fifth grade, and it will not be in vain for him to ask Lao Huang to give me the two sets of glass cups!" He secretly thought, but Zhao Kai, who didn't notice it, turned dark.
