Chapter 163 End of Text
In mid-October, Xiang Anjue returned to the capital from Lizhong.As early as the first ten days of September, Zhao Shen knew the news that Zhuang Zhuang was selected as a scholar. Secretly planning to wait for Zhuang Zhuang to come back and hold a reception banquet for him, firstly to reward him for his hard work all the way, and secondly to congratulate him that he is now a scholar.It's just that when he finally received Xiang Anjue who rushed to the capital after a long journey, Zhao Shen was unable to hold a wedding banquet.
Xiang Anjue brought back the news that his own father, Mr. Zhao, was running out of time, so he specially sent someone to bring a message to Zhao Shen, asking Zhao Shen to go back and preside over the funeral for him.
From Zhuang Zhuang's confirmation that Master Zhao is indeed dying, Zhao Shen's heart is indescribably complicated.But his father was going to pass away, and as a child, he must rush back to attend the funeral.As for Master Zhao's telling him to go back and arrange the funeral, Zhao Shen didn't take it to heart.Although Zhao Xu has been exiled, Mr. Zhao still has his eldest son, Zhao Xun, so it is not his turn to preside over the funeral.
Zhao Shen wanted to go back to Lizhong, but Xiang Yuan couldn't go with him.At the beginning of October, the saint suddenly issued an imperial decree, ordering him to concurrently serve as the prince Shaofu, to teach the prince the words of Confucius and Mencius, and to explain the way of being an official.Xiang Yuan's chief job is Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he also has to serve as Prince Shaofu. He is as busy as a spinning top, and he has no time to spare, let alone accompany Zhao Shen back to Lizhong.
"Don't worry, I'll only be back in a month or two. I've been in business for so many years. What ghostly methods have I never seen? How can you be so worried?"
Seeing that Xiang Yuan was worried, adding this and that, and expanding his luggage that was only going to fit one car into three cars, he couldn't laugh or cry.
It's a good idea to condense the luggage into one car, and see the reluctance on Congzi's face, so I have to let him toss around at night.Fortunately, Congzi thought that he would get up early tomorrow and leave early, so he just had a good time and then let go.The clouds scattered and the rain gathered, and the husband and wife huddled together and chatted for a long time, listening to the son telling him not to be stubborn when he went back, Mr. Zhao is gone, how generous he is at the funeral, don't let people talk about him being unfilial , do not know how to be grateful.Anyway, Mr. Zhao is dead, so he might as well be generous for a while to make a good name for himself.
Zhao Shen was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
To Mr. Zhao, he has always had resentment in his heart, some accumulated in his previous life, and some newly added in this life.But as Congzi said, people at that time regard pure filial piety as a virtue, don't look down on Mr. Zhao's various behaviors in front of the insider, but death is like a lamp going out, and the dead are the worst. If he still cares about the past things, he will not be a filial son With his appearance, I'm afraid that the people of Lizhong Town will immediately turn their spears against him.If it's just him, it doesn't matter.But now he has to think about the reputation of Mongzi and the children.That's all, let's take it as the last act of filial piety.
Reluctantly seeing off his daughter-in-law, Xiang Yuan felt that he couldn't do anything.Seeing this, the prince laughed at his son and daughter's affection, and asked him to go hunting in Xishan together.Seeing the crown prince's rosy face and the vigor of the spring breeze, Xiang Yuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, isn't it just that the crown prince Qi Yun is pregnant, why is she so complacent?You know, he has four children around his knees.However, when I think about it, the prince and Qi Yun have been married for nearly two years, but it is really not easy to hear the news of the East Palace's happiness until recently.It's rare to see Prince Xiong who pretends to be steady all day long, and he can't hold back his expression of joy. Xiang Yuan touched his chin, thinking that this fun can still relieve the depression of his wife's absence.
Emperor Jing'an's health is getting worse and worse, and now most of the court affairs have been handed over to the crown prince.Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the aristocratic families in the capital couldn't sit still.Except for the Gu family and the Wang family who reached a consensus with Xiang Yuan early in the morning, the Xu family, the head of the family, and the Li family, who follow the lead of the Xu family, have not seen any movement for a long time.Prince Li Chengqian fiddled with the reins, and said casually: "They'd better have the backbone to fight till the end, otherwise when I ascend the Great Treasure, they will have to work hard to figure out how to deal with it, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Knowing that the prince has always resisted the aristocratic family in his heart, he wished to copy all the aristocratic families.The prince is so extreme, which is also the reason why Emperor Jing'an insisted that Xiang Yuan also serve as the prince's Shao Fu.Xiang Yuan is well aware that during this period of time, he has been working hard to correct the prince's three views, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, the prince's view of the family cannot be resolved overnight, Xiang Yuan only hopes to subtly change it Under the circumstances, the prince can restrain himself and learn how to check and balance.Otherwise, as the crown prince said, when he is crowned a great treasure, the court in the capital may not be at peace.
Now that life is stable, he doesn't want to make any more troubles.
Time sequence entered the twelfth lunar month, and Zhao Shen rushed back to the capital from the journey.Seeing his weathered face, much more haggard than when he left, Xiang Yuan felt extremely distressed.Seeing his bright eyes again, she couldn't help leaning against the bed next to him, jokingly said: "Is this a good thing? I'm very happy to see you go back."
Zhao Shen unconsciously rubbed Xiang Yuan against his arm, and said in a brisk tone: "You guessed it right this time, and something good happened to me. If I hadn't gone back, I wouldn't have known that my uncle had already gone back. Forcing Mr. Zhao to write a letter to release his wife, my father can be regarded as leaving the Zhao family and gaining a free life. Even if Mr. Zhao passed away this time, my father does not have to wear sackcloth or mourning for him, and I feel very refreshed."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuan became more fond of Xu Huan, his uncle. "Uncle is still thoughtful. If Master Zhao is really allowed to go like this, father will be trapped in Zhao's family for the rest of his life."
"No, Dad is living a smooth life now, without worrying about that bad thing, and I see that my energy is much better than before."
Xiang Yuan nodded and smiled.Xu Yixuan spent the first half of his life in the Zhao family. Although he was a good servant, he was not favored. If he hadn't given birth to Jin Yan, he would have been lonely all his life until he died of old age in the Zhao family's back house.Fortunately, now that he has completely left the Zhao family, and the elder brother who was lost in the early years has also been found, the rest of his life will definitely not be sad again.In this way, the daughter-in-law can also go to a worry.
After the festivities of the new year and the first lunar month, Xiang Yu's decree was to be transferred to Lishui, Yunzhou to be the Qipin county magistrate.Xiang Yu was very satisfied, but Zhang Lanyu was worried, but seeing Xiang Yu's smug look, he had no choice but to put down his worries and pack his bags carefully.
Xiang Yu saw that he was full of reluctance, and smiled lightly: "Master and my wife have already made an agreement. After I leave, you will temporarily move back to Xiang's house. You will be more filial to my master and mother at home. You usually have a lot of free time." Turn around, Master is busy on weekdays, you help take care of Zhuang Zhuang Zhuo and them." Seeing Brother Yu's hesitation, Xiang Yu explained: "You don't have to worry about anything else, this is still Master's words I asked you specifically to ask you to come over. First, I really want you to help take care of the little ones at home. Second, I am afraid that you will be bored at home by yourself. And now that you have a special body, we don’t have one here. The old man is watching, if something happens, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."
Brother Yu thought about it, and nodded in response.Now that his body is getting heavier and heavier, seeing that he is not far from the day of delivery, but it is the first time, and there is no one around him to explain his doubts, he cannot help but feel guilty from the bottom of his heart.He moved out ahead of time for the sake of Xiang Yu's reputation and future. Now that Xiang Yu has been released, it is indeed inconvenient for him to live outside alone. Taking this opportunity to return to Xiang's house to live in will save a lot of trouble.
After sending Xiang Yu away, Xiang Yuan began to prepare for sending Xiang Anjing to the academy.According to what Zhao Shen meant, he wanted to send Xiang Anjing to the Royal Academy where Xiang Anjue was. The two brothers were together, so they took care of her somewhat.But after Xiang Yuan thought about it, he didn't agree.Xiang Anjing's personality is quite different from Xiang Anjue's. Not only does she escape a lot, but she is also used to playing tricks.It's okay to be young, but now that you're getting older, if you're still like this, it's hard to guarantee that your temperament will go astray.The Royal Academy where Zhuang Zhuang lives has an open atmosphere, and the masters pay more attention to self-discipline and self-study, and because most of the students who study are from wealthy families, the masters are not very strict with the students.Such an environment is very cheap for Zhuang Zhuang, but for Xiang Anjing's character, it is tantamount to letting the monkey go back to the mountain, and it will only become more unscrupulous.
After much deliberation and the recommendation of Shen's second uncle, Xiang Yuan finally decided to send Xiang Anjing to Songhe Academy near Tianliang Temple outside the capital.The head of Songhe Academy was the number one scholar in Jing'an for ten years. Because he didn't like the ups and downs in the officialdom, he voluntarily resigned and opened this Songhe Academy.The head of the mountain is very rigorous in his studies, and the masters he invited are all of the same nature.After inquiring clearly, Xiang Yuan was very satisfied with it.This kind of atmosphere is very suitable for people like Zhuzhuo.
Xiang Anjing was also driven to the academy, only Tao Tao and Ranran were left in Xiang's house.However, although he is small, he is full of energy. He has to quarrel all day long about who is the elder brother or sister. The quarrel gets angry, and he even stretches out his chubby hands and feet to fight each other. Every time Zhao Shen sees it, he gets a headache. .
Xiang Yu was less than half a month away from Beijing, and Zhang Lanyu mobilized in the middle of the night. After suffering for more than four hours, she finally gave birth to a chubby and red son at dawn.Zhao Shen and Xiang Yuan were relieved to see that his father and son were safe.When Wei Tao Tao and Ranran saw their expectant younger brother, they burst into tears, saying how ugly they were, and yelling not to take their younger brother to play, making people laugh and cry.
The Xiang family had just finished the full moon wine for the newborn, when news came out from the palace that the crown princess of the Eastern Palace gave birth to the eldest son, the sage was overjoyed, and the reward flowed into the Eastern Palace.
Hearing this, Zhao Shen couldn't help saying: "It's really a bodhisattva's blessing!" Xiang Yuan laughed lightly, and said: "Don't say that, as soon as you say this, I think of the old lady who eats fast and recites Buddha in the back house. Mood."
Being teased like this, Zhao Shen blushed slightly.Since he started to live a new life, except for the first few years when he had resentment in his heart and ignored everything, in the next few years, as his life became more and more happy, he really worshiped Buddha and Bodhisattva sincerely from the bottom of his heart.No matter which side of the Buddha and Bodhisattva showed mercy and let him live a new life, he was able to meet Congzi and enjoy the blessings he had never enjoyed before, and he was grateful.
With the eldest son of the crown prince, his position became more and more stable.Because of this happy event, the saint's spirit rarely improved, and his face was radiant for several months.
At the beginning of May, at the Great Court Meeting, there was a censor who impeached the Xu family headed by Mr. Xu Ge for ten crimes.Emperor Jing'an was furious, he reprimanded Elder Xu Ge angrily, and ordered the three divisions to interrogate, determined to find out the truth of the case.
Xiang Yuan looked at the gloomy sky with a heavy heart.
There are various indications that the sage may not have much time, and in order to pave the way for the crown prince, the Xu family, as the chicken that kills chickens and monkeys, may not end well.
Sure enough, in just one month, the Xu family's top ten crimes were nailed to death. The male members of the three clans of the Xu family were executed, and the female relatives were assigned to Jiaofangsi. After decades of keeping a low profile, it will never be good again.
At the end of the year, the Laba Festival had just passed, and Emperor Jing'an, who had reigned for only 30 years, passed away. Afterwards, the capital was under martial law, and every household removed the red, red, and green colors used for the festival, and the whole city was completely white.
Emperor Jing'an passed away and the new emperor succeeded. During this period, Xiang Yuan, as the crown prince Shaofu, stayed in the East Palace temporarily and was too busy to touch the ground.The crown prince and Emperor Jing'an had a deep relationship, even though they knew that Emperor Jing'an would not last long, but when the emperor finally made his fortune, he still couldn't bear the blow, became overly sad and haggard.On the one hand, Xiang Yuan had to be busy with various matters concerning the succession of the new emperor, distracted from comforting the prince who was in the pain of his father's death, and at the same time had to fight with the ministers who jumped out to fight for their interests at this moment, he was exhausted.
When everything settles down, it will be spring when the flowers are blooming.In accordance with the will of Emperor Daxing, Emperor Qianfeng issued an imperial decree to enter the cabinet with Xiang Yuan, becoming the youngest cabinet minister in the history of the Liang Dynasty. So far, the chapter of the prosperity of the Qianfeng Dynasty recorded in the history books has slowly opened First page.
