Chapter 156 The Emperor's Marriage
The emperor ordered people to summon Li Buqi, but Zhang Weiji, who knew inside, reported, "Your Majesty, Li Zhongzheng is probably in the palace. Concubine Zhang saw that the fourth prince was not feeling well this morning, so she just invited him into the palace."

Zhao Zhen is in his thirties and now has two sons, and he values ​​the health of his sons more than anything else. Hearing that the fourth son was not feeling well, he quickly asked: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that the fourth brother is fine? Why? Did you call Li Buqi again?"

Zhang Weiji hurriedly said: "I think Concubine Zhang Gui is worried, so I asked Li Zhongzheng to confirm."

The emperor got up in the morning and heard that the fourth child didn't sleep well last night, especially crying. The imperial doctor had already seen it, and said that he had eaten too much and was struggling.This situation is very common for young children, as long as they are fed with a little medicine for invigorating the spleen and stomach, it will be fine.If the imperial physicians can't even look down on this kind of disease, then they don't have to mess around.So the emperor was relieved when Zhang Weiji said that he just asked Li Buqi to enter the palace to see if the imperial doctor made any mistakes in diagnosis.

Zhao Zhen said: "Since I will not abandon it in the palace, I will let him come over after he finishes watching the fourth brother." The little eunuch Wang Zhongzheng immediately followed the order.

Li Buqi was very annoyed today. He planned to go to the Zhao family to propose marriage in person early in the morning, but he was dragged out of bed before dawn and entered the palace. It seems that he will not be able to go to the Zhao family in the morning.

He really can't stand Concubine Zhang Guifei anymore, even if he treats his son as a baby, it's not like that?The child has a slight headache and brain fever, and sometimes even just cries for a long time at night, she will call Li Buqi to ask things, hoping that Li Buqi can make his son recover immediately.Li Buqi really didn't understand how the emperor could bear such a clingy woman. Probably this was the reason why Zhao Zhen was able to win the temple name with the word "benevolence".

After finally comforting the nervous imperial concubine and persuading her to trust the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment again, Li Buqi got away.Coming out of Concubine Zhang, Li Buqi decided to take advantage of today's entry into the palace to see the condition of the third son's remaining brother, so as not to have to make another special trip.

Ordinarily, the leftover brother, as the existing eldest son of the emperor, has no mother, so he should be raised by the queen, but the emperor played his cards uneasy, and put the leftover brother with Princess Fukang's mother, Concubine Yang.From this point, we can see the emperor's alienation from the queen.However, what is different from history is that the queen is also pregnant. This is obviously because some words Li Buqi said to the emperor played a role.For this matter, the Cao family also gave Li Buqi a big gift, as if the queen's pregnancy was due to Li Buqi.

So when Li Buqi followed the eunuch to the pavilion where Concubine Yang lived, he saw a seven or eight-year-old girl leading a little boy, laughing and chasing each other.The little boy is the third prince's leftover, he immediately stopped chasing his sister when he saw Li Buqi, and saluted Li Buqi politely.

The royal etiquette education is not mentioned, but Li Buqi feels that if this continues, the child will almost be useless, and if this continues, he will be raised as a girl.But the remaining son is someone else's child, so Li Buqi won't worry about it blindly.

The remaining son's body is not bad, although he is a little weak due to lack of exercise, but thanks to his mother's good physical fitness, he is the healthiest among all Zhao Zhen's children.Concubine Yang is a caring person, and she trusts Li Buqi's guidance to let the remaining son exercise more without violating etiquette, so although the remaining son will get sick once or twice every spring and autumn, it is not a serious problem.

Li Buqi checked the remaining son's body with the imperial physician as usual, and then repeated a few precautions to Concubine Yang before preparing to leave the palace quickly.It's still early, and if you move quickly, you can still catch up to Zhao's house.But as soon as he came out from Leftover's place, he saw Wang Zhongzheng jogging over, "Guan Li, the official family invited you over."

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "Chairman Lao will lead the way." Wang Zhongzheng made a "please" gesture and walked in front.

Li Buqi and Wang Zhongzheng were very familiar with each other, so he asked, "I don't know why the official called me?"

"It's a good thing. The officials have already negotiated with the third division and the ministers, and they want to enlist officials to join the third division as officials."

"Oh? An agreement has been made between the officials and the ministers?" Li Buqi was a little surprised.According to his speculation, even if Zhang Yaozuo recommended him, both the third envoy and Jia Changchao would block him. He did not expect them to compromise so quickly.Is there something here that I don't know?

The emperor Balabala said a lot, and Li Buqi realized that the emperor wanted him to rectify the military production for him, so he got him a position as a judge in the third division case, but from the emperor's words, Li Buqi did not agree. It can be heard that Zhang Yaozuo's recommendation to him was not based on the emperor's will.On the contrary, it was Zhang Yaozuo's recommendation that aroused the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor followed the trend.

It seems that the emperor was very satisfied with today's affairs, and asked Li Buqi enthusiastically when he would take office.Li Buqi asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to go to the court to judge the case?"

The emperor nodded: "This official position does not need to attend court every day."

Seeing that Li Buqi was relieved, the emperor asked, "Is there any inconvenience for Buqi to go to court?"

Li Buqi said: "If you want to go to court, you have to get up before dawn every day. It's tiring to think about it. I'm going to get married soon. If I have to get out of bed early every day, I feel that life is better than death."

This sentence made almost everyone in the Chongzheng Hall fall down—how many people have been striving to see the emperor, and you want to give up this qualification just because you don't want to get up in the morning?Don't you want to make progress?
The emperor almost spit out a mouthful of old blood - I was the emperor at the age of 12, and I have to get up early every day for more than 20 years. At night, when I was late with my concubine, someone would grab my neck and spit. You have endured it for more than 20 years, what right do you have to complain?
The emperor had no choice but to understand the great righteousness, which means that as a pillar of the country, as a young man, how can he be afraid of suffering?Not only can’t be afraid of suffering, but also take more responsibilities. Li Buqi must also take charge of the royal test site. The matter of reconscription from Gyeonggi has also been agreed by the ministers because of the persistence of Wu Yu, Ding Du and others. Wu Jun still wants Li Buqi to train.

However, Zhao Zhen is a nice person. After teaching Li Buqi a lesson, he became concerned about Li Buqi's personal problems: "Have the Zhao family agreed to the marriage?"

Li Buqi sighed: "Now the Zhao family is actually very anxious to marry his young lady. It's just that the Zhao family wants to save face, and delays on the grounds that the minister did not get the Jinshi merit. Several marriage proposals have not been agreed, and there are always more ministers." It takes a few trips to beg for marriage."

Zhao Zhen laughed: "The master abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple also begged me to give you a marriage, and it will also make a good marriage. Since the Zhao family wants face, I will decree to grant the marriage. Now the face of the Zhao family is enough. Bar?"

This saves trouble and saves running errands.Li Buqi quickly thanked him, but the following sentence made the emperor's face turn into a bun again: "I want to accompany the beautiful woman first after getting married. I wonder if I can take office later?"

The emperor resigned and said: "You are honest. This dynasty treats scholar-bureaucrats preferentially. Before new officials take office, they always give two or three months' leave to arrange family affairs. I think three months is enough, whether it is to rectify military manufacturing or train Zhenwu. The military is a major event, and there should be no further delay."

Well, there are three months and some things fall into place.
