Chapter 522: out of favor

Chapter 522 Out of Favor

The local reports must have been verified, but there are not no loopholes that can be exploited, so re-checking is still necessary, and it is better than being fooled by someone as a fool.

Afterwards, there will be nothing more in the reports. They are all commonplace questions. There are fewer important matters and more trivial matters. Zhu Biao can reply according to the usual practice.

An hour later, Zhu Biao bumped into Xiulu and drove out of Fengtianmen in a car. He patrolled around the Liubu Yamen, and then wandered around the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, where he made a relationship with civil servants and military generals.

After this day, Zhu Biao recuperated behind closed doors in the East Palace. In fact, he was lazy and didn't come out until the day of thirty. Plant peach talisman boards with general charcoal, paste door gods, hang paintings of the gods of fortune, ghost judgment, Zhong Kui, etc. in the room, hang gold and silver eight treasures, Xifan prayer wheels on the bed, or weave yellow coins like dragons, insert sesame straws on the eaves, and burn cypress branches in the courtyard firewood…

It was only when Zhu Biao knew that the second, third, fourth, and third brothers had been driven by Lao Zhu to Fengyang to worship the imperial mausoleum. It stands to reason that in this kind of thing, relatives would send relatives, and officials from the Ministry of Rites would be sent if there were no relatives. It is inappropriate for an official to go to such a great event such as the birth of three generations, so three uncles who have just become uncles are simply allowed to go.

Zhu Biao happened to resettle people in Fengyang during the Chinese New Year last year, so he knew better how tiring it was to sacrifice to the imperial tomb on this big day. This year it was finally the three of them's turn to suffer.

But he can't get better, the emperor's mausoleum can't make sacrifices, but the Taimiao and Fengxiandian can't escape the sacrifices. Sages, including Three Yellows and Five Emperors, etc.

The Taimiao has a high status and is limited by rituals. The sacrificial activities are important national ceremonies, and each sacrificial ceremony is huge in scale and heavy in etiquette.

As for the Fengxian Temple, it is simple. Only the ancestors of the Zhu family did not have this. It was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang. Old Zhu Chunxiao always felt ashamed of his parents after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so he often wanted to worship, but Taimiao Sacrificial offerings revitalize teachers, mobilize people and waste money, so the Fengxian Temple was established, and when I have time, I go to kowtow and burn incense.

At noon, there was a lot of noise in the East Palace, and a solid sedan chair was carried into the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

Liu Jin walked over and stretched his hands into it to feel it, and said: "It's still a bit cold, put two more heaters in, and the two little highnesses must not catch the cold."

"Liu An, go and see if the road from our place to Kunning Palace has been swept clean. You guys should be careful when you lift the sedan chair, and you are not allowed to have a sway. Do you understand?"

"No!"

Liu Jinzai gave the instructions carefully, and then waited until the temperature in the sedan chair was almost the same as that of the inner hall before inviting Zhu Biao to leave. After a while, Zhu Biao, who was dressed in court clothes, came out hand in hand with his concubine, with dragon patterns and phoenix shadows flying together. , Solemn and solemn.

Behind them is the nanny holding the two emperor's grandchildren carefully. They sit in the sedan chair and reach out to pick up the children. Each of them has a swaddle, both of which are swaddled by red cloth embroidered with golden dragon patterns. They are wrapped tightly and only the small and cute baby can be seen from above. Small nose and small mouth.

Zhu Biao felt the temperature in the sedan chair and said with a smile: "It should be fine, it's a rare Chinese New Year, let the father, the queen and the queen be happy."

Chang Luohua hugged his youngest son tightly in his arms and nodded, "I know, but I still have to be careful. Fortunately, the weather is good today."

Zhu Biao nodded towards Liu Jin, and then the curtain of the sedan chair was tightly covered to ensure that the cold wind would not get in. After waiting for a while, the sedan chair officially got up and left the hall. Eight tall and strong eunuchs walked steadily towards Kun Ning Palace to go.

At first, Chang Luohua was a little nervous, but as the sedan chair was still warm, he felt relieved a lot. Seeing that the two children were still sleeping soundly, he felt even more at ease, but he still stretched out a finger to probe the children's noses from time to time. Suck, even Zhu Biao can't stop it...

In the Kunning Palace, Empress Ma was coaxing Zhu Lu to play, while Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting and reading a book and looked towards the door from time to time. Empress Ma couldn't help but joked: "Biaoer and Luohua will arrive in a while, why are you still looking forward to it?" , isn’t it because you haven’t seen your son for a few days?”

"Hmph, sister, don't talk nonsense, who is looking forward to it, we don't have it!"

These few days, Lao Zhu doesn’t have to go to the morning court, and there are not many memorials that need to be reviewed, so he has been living in Kunning Palace. The old couple was very tired at first, but since yesterday, they have not dealt with each other. It’s so sweet Nearly stinks and dislikes each other.

Liu Jin was the first to speak: "His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess are inside. They came directly from the East Palace. There is no need to check for the cold winter."

Nafu's military general looked bitterly at the tight sedan chair and saluted: "It's not that the last general is rude, it's really..."

The two people in the sedan chair carefully covered the child's ears, and Zhu Biaocai said loudly, "It's Zhao Wenyi, let's get out of the way."

The general heaved a sigh of relief and stepped aside. If the crown prince doesn't speak, he will have to go about his business, and if he speaks, he will have to obey orders. This is neither a conflict nor a contradiction. He also believes that His Highness the crown prince will not do him any harm because of this matter. impression.

Liu Jin glared dissatisfiedly, and Zhao Wenyi didn't dare to speak, but just clasped his hands together and laughed, winking as if to invite him to a drink in the future. The two actually knew each other well.

This Zhao Wenyi once escorted Zhu Biao on a trip to Shaanxi and Gansu. He was Tang Shizhong's deputy general.

A general like him, after two years of hard work in the capital, will be directly transferred to the local guard to lead one side. As long as he has a little bit to serve as his official career, he will be able to unimpeded his official career. As the foundation and wings of the prince in the military, he is no better than Liu Jin Such a close servant who can reflect the prince's will to some extent.

After passing the dividing line between the former dynasty and the rear palace, the sedan chair arrived at the Kunning Palace unimpeded, and went in directly after a pass. Lao Zhu was very happy at first, but when he saw the sedan chair, his expression turned ugly.

As a son of man who came to visit his parents, how could he enter the palace in a sedan chair? Huge hit.

However, the best known son is like a father. Zhu Yuanzhang really didn’t believe that the prince he raised so carefully would be so unwise, so he didn’t scold him immediately. If it was any other prince, he would have ordered him to strip him naked and hang him to the gate of the city.

Empress Ma also frowned: "Is it so cold outside? Biaoer Luohua, why don't you two come out quickly!"

Liu Jin hurriedly lifted the layers of curtains, fearing that it would be too late and the emperor and the empress would be kicked out of the palace. Zhu Biao would naturally hear his mother's dissatisfaction in the palace, and he could also imagine his father's picture. The frowning face was gone.

In order to prevent being really beaten in a while, Zhu Biao reached out and pinched the buttocks of the two little guys through the swaddling clothes. Sure enough, the loud and wronged babies cried from inside the sedan chair.

The two husband and wife who were sitting on the chairs angrily immediately bounced up. Old Zhu strode forward to the sedan chair and pushed Liu Jin away, and opened the curtain with bright tiger eyes.

"Hahaha, our eldest grandson is here, someone will bring over two more stoves!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at his son and daughter-in-law, he stretched out his hand and snatched the swaddle from Zhu Biao's hand, and then looked at the other one, but it was not easy to **** it from his daughter-in-law's arms, so Zhu Biao reluctantly took it from Chang Luohua's hand It's small, it's gone before the angle is adjusted...

Zhu Yuanzhang strode around the hall with a grandson in each hand. Empress Ma was afraid that his rough hands and feet would drop the child, so she stretched out her arms to protect her step by step.

"Oh, Chongba, Zhu Chongba, slow down..."

"Hahaha, it's okay, our grandson is so delicate, don't you see it and stop crying!"

Zhu Lu was also crazy, jumping around behind her parents' feet to hug her little nephew, so that the prince and princess who hadn't come out of the sedan chair were all forgotten.

"Father, Father, I want to hug too, I'm an aunt and I want to hug too!"

Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing at Chang Luohua who was beside him: "Why don't we go back, anyway, we both fell out of favor.
