The Village Doctress Chapter 660: The little emperor ascends the throne
Meng Bufan shook his head, "What a coincidence, Meng promised his mother that he will go back to the house early today and accompany her for lunch at the old man's house." After a pause, he looked at Wen Shengyi's face with flickering eyes, "Master Wen, it's not suitable to drink alcohol because of the national funeral. Master Wen, please be careful, don't let those old censors catch your pigtails."
Meng Bufan's words made Wen Shengyi's handsome face blush.
He was careless and negligent. How can officials be invited to drink in the country's new funeral?
"It's because Sheng Yi didn't think carefully!" Wen Shengyi hurriedly cupped his fists to admit his mistake. Facing Meng Bufan, the most mysterious eldest young master of the Meng family who has entered an official position, he didn't dare to neglect at all, so he changed his words and said: "Then Sheng Yi invited Mr. Meng to have a cup of weak tea?"
Meng Bufan raised his lips slightly, but he couldn't see a single bit of thought in his face and eyes.
"I'm afraid Mr. Wen is too happy? Now that the country is mourning, how can I have the time to drink tea?" Meng Bufan walked down the steps with brisk steps, and his voice continued to float out, "Ming'er I have to get up early and cry, Mr. Wen should do something else."
Wen Shengyi's face flushed slightly after touching a nail that was neither soft nor **** Meng Bufan's side.
At this moment, Master Wen finally broke away from the crowd, seeing Yao'er standing there motionless, he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him down the steps.
"Yi'er, what's wrong?" Mr. Wen asked in a low voice as he walked.
Wen Shengyi said in a low voice: "Just now my son went to talk to Mr. Meng. He was trying to test him, but he caught him and made fun of him."
Wen Shengyi smiled wryly. It was true that he hadn't thought about it before and rushed up to test Meng Bufan's attitude towards the Wen family. It's normal to be stabbed a few times.
Old Man Wen frowned when he heard the words, and said coldly: "Haven't you understood yet? The Meng family is for Princess Tiangui!"
Wen Shengyi turned his head to look at his father, frowned and asked suspiciously: "My son saw that the Meng family and Princess Ruoshui are getting close. Today, Princess Gui beat Princess Ruoshui, you Looking at today's such an important day, if Princess Ruoshui didn't go to court, wouldn't she have a rift with Princess Tiangui? According to the logic, the Meng family should stand by Princess Ruoshui's side!"
So, after thinking about it, Wen Shengyi decided to go up and test Meng Bufan.
Old man Wen couldn't figure this out either.
What he was thinking in his heart was that Princess Ruoshui must have known that the late emperor had ordered Lin Fufu to be conferred on her as Princess Tiangui to overwhelm her, so he found an excuse not to come to court today.
If this is the case, then the Meng family should be on the side of Princess Ruoshui at this time!
"I don't blame you for testing Meng Bufan. Although that man is young, his behavior is more elusive than his father, Prime Minister Meng. Forget it, you should avoid provoking him in the future." Old Man Wen warned.
Wen Shengyi hurriedly bowed his head to accept the order.
Old man Wen remembered that his nephew had finally become the emperor, and couldn't help but feel happy, "Don't worry, Princess Tiangui is your first cousin after all! As long as you coax her well and let her It is of great benefit to our Wen family and the new emperor to walk around with Princess Tiangui from time to time!"
Wen Shengyi nodded hurriedly.
Old Man Wen lowered his voice again and said: "For our Wen family, instead of continuing to look at Princess Ruoshui's face, it is better to coax Princess Tiangui! Do you understand?"
Wen Shengyi looked serious, bowed his head and said, "My son understands, it's just..."
Old man Wen frowned when he saw him hesitating, stared at this little boy, and asked, "Just what?"
Wen Shengyi also lowered his voice, leaned closer to Old Man Wen and said, "Elder Sister has news from the palace that she is very dissatisfied with Princess Tiangui and wants us to..."
"Just talking!" Mr. Wen immediately gave Wen Shengyi a sideways glance, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said displeasedly: "She sees it as a woman, and you also see it as a woman?"
Wen Shengyi didn't dare to speak out.
He also felt that the eldest sister was getting more and more hostile now, but she was still the eldest sister he respected so much!
"Yi'er! My father warns you not to follow your eldest sister's unconsidered ideas! Her status is not the same as before. After the fifth prince ascended the throne, she will be the queen mother. Every step she takes in the future Be careful, think carefully, this is also for the sake of His Majesty the new emperor!" Old Man Wen warned Wen Shengyi, for fear that the youngest son who loved and loved the eldest daughter since childhood would follow the eldest daughter's will.
Wen Shengyi frowned when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Father, don't worry! Eldest sister is not such a reckless temper! She was just worried that the former emperor gave too much power to Princess Jiahe , it will be hard to control in the future. But now, the late emperor summoned her to be named the eldest princess of Tiangui, and the elder sister's worries have been fulfilled..."
Old Man Wen interrupted him with a cold snort, "As long as it's not Princess Ruoshui who is a scheming and powerful person who knows how to govern the country, it will be fine to take charge of the world! What I worry about my father most is Princess Ruoshui!"
When Wen Shengyi heard the words, he should have said yes, but he was a little worried in his heart.
Ever since he married Lin Fang, Lin Fang told him everything about Lin Fufu that he had never told him before... He didn't even dare to think about such a powerful woman.
However, his father kept a low profile all his life, but every time when he reminded him to be careful of Lin Fufu, he changed the subject with disdain, which made him very embarrassed.
So, in private, he told his elder sister the most important things about Lin Fufu's past.
But the eldest sister believed him.
It's also because of him that the eldest sister has become more and more jealous of Lin Fufu.
"Don't think about unnecessary things. Father can still handle the affairs in the court. The most important thing for you now is to let Lin Fang go to Tiangui Dachang Princess's mansion to be more diligent. Also, you should also be careful. I’ve made friends with those honorable sons of the capital.” Old Man Wen sneered, “They used to look down on our Wen family, but everything will change from today, they must be thinking of ways to curry favor with you now!”
Wen Shengyi replied in a low voice again, and the father and son went home in a sedan chair and one on horseback.
After Lin Fufu went to the Empress Dowager's Palace, he also returned to the Eldest Princess' Mansion.
The eldest princess is already sitting in the flower hall waiting for her.
After listening to Lin Fufu's detailed account of what happened in the hall today, Princess Ruoshui sneered again and again.
"He must have written these two posthumous summons early in the morning. This is like his style." Princess Ruoshui's eyes were cold, and she still had no intention of forgiving the dead emperor.
Lin Fufu also nodded when he heard the words, "It is true that the emperor's uncle wrote the last call early in the morning and sent it to the empress dowager for safekeeping. In addition to these two canonized last call, there are several last call, one of which is The one who canonize the aunt is one who canonize the concubine as the queen dowager, one who canonize the empress dowager as the empress dowager, and the next few canonize the officials of the former dynasty."
It is undeniable that His Majesty the Emperor thought very carefully and made very thorough arrangements before he died.
Of course, the only purpose is to keep the young emperor growing up safely until he can govern himself.
As for the others, to put it bluntly, they are all serving the little emperor.
It's just that he didn't expect someone to expose what he did to Princess Ruoshui before, forcing Princess Ruoshui to betray him a few days before his death...
Princess Ruoshui is not interested in other canonized wills, but she is very concerned about those canonized officials.
"Do you know which adults are enshrined?" Princess Ruoshui looked at Lin Fufu, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. If nothing else, it should be the ones she was thinking of.
Lin Fufu nodded, "The empress dowager gave me all the late emperor's last summons. I read it in advance. The first official to be canonized is Meng Bufan, who was exceptionally promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"
"What?" Princess Ruoshui frowned even more when she heard that Meng Bufan was unexpectedly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials by the former emperor, "He actually ceased to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"
Lin Fufu nodded, took a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice: "I was very surprised, so I asked Feng Wei to check the original official secretary. I didn't expect him to be from King Ning's school. It's hidden so deeply that we didn't even know it before!"
When Princess Ruoshui heard the words, she finally breathed out clearly, and snorted coldly: "I see! He has been living in the palace in poor health. Since he can still know those secrets, I still underestimate him." He is gone!"
Lin Fufu did not answer, and then told him, "The second is the imperial edict to enshrine Mr. Wen and Wen Shengyi. Mr. Wen is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wen Shengyi is the right servant of the Ministry of War."
In the beginning, Lin Fufu and Princess Ruoshui thought that her emperor's uncle would not touch six books, but they didn't expect him to touch several books in a row.
"Oh! The Minister of Rites has also been taken down by him, and there are quite a lot of disturbances in the court." Princess Ruoshui held the corner of her lips expressionlessly, and then analyzed, "But this palace understands the movement. He wants to give some real power to Xiao Wu's family, after all, if Xiao Wu's family has no real power at all, that's not good."
Paused, the tone became sarcasm again, "Thinking of him, he wants to give the Wen family some real power, and also to prevent the Wen family from becoming the monopoly of relatives in the future...it must be very nerve-wracking."
Lin Fufu did not answer, and continued: "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has also been dismissed, and replaced by Qiu Daqin."
"Qiu Daqin will go further, this palace has already expected it. It's just that he didn't expect him to value him so much, so he directly killed the original minister of punishment and replaced him with Qiu Daqin." Princess Ruoshui felt that her lips interfered a little , took a sip of tea.
Lin Fufu spoke this time, and said with a smile, "Master Qiu is upright and selfless, and he has helped my aunt with so many beautiful and big cases. Now that the national treasury is getting richer, it is right for the late emperor to value him."
Princess Ruoshuichang nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her face, "It's the promotion of Qiu Daqin that makes me feel a little better. I think it's not bad to have him as the leader of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It's him, that person has no utilitarianism." The heart is inside."
Lin Fufu understands what Princess Ruoshui said.
Whether it's Meng Bufan or Wen's father and son's promotion, the former emperor paved the way for the younger emperor.
Only Qiu Daqin was promoted by the late emperor when he saw his talent. Otherwise, with Qiu Daqin's age and personality, he might not be able to climb to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice in this life.
The mourning of the Great Wei State does not need to be for a long time, the longest one is one year, and the relationship between children and husband and wife only needs one year of mourning.
A relationship like Lin Gospel only needs to be in mourning for three months.
After the Seventh Seventh of the previous emperor, Lin Fufu and Qin Tianjian picked a good day for the new emperor to succeed to the throne and held a ceremony for the succession of the new emperor.
When the day came, Lin Fufu originally arranged for the **** Chang Song to lead the little emperor up to the throne and sit down, but the child was too young and cried out of fear.
Concubine Cheng, who had already been named queen mother, was anxious to fall out of the curtain, but was stopped by several eunuchs.
Chang Song sees that the little emperor can't be coaxed well, sweating his brow anxiously, but the little emperor loses his temper and kicks him suddenly, crying and screaming not to go to the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall.
Also called Chang Song a big villain and wanted to drive him away.
It was not only Chang Song who was embarrassed, but also the courtiers.
Lin Fufu saw that Chang Song was so useless that he couldn't even coax a child, so his brows raised, and Chang Song shivered in fright.
It so happened that the little emperor raised his eyes and saw Lin Fufu glaring at Chang Song, as if he had found a backer, he immediately ran up to Lin Fufu who was wearing a lot of makeup, put his arms around her legs, and said in a childish voice : "Auntie Jiahe, Xiao Wu is afraid, can you go up with Xiao Wu?"
The little emperor thought that Lin Fufu was still the princess of Jiahe, and he still called Lin Fufu by this title, but when he said this, everyone was shocked.
The most anxious thing is that the Empress Dowager is already a concubine. She hurriedly said from behind the door curtain: "Emperor! You must go up and climb up the dragon chair by yourself. How can you let my cousin accompany you up? It's not suitable for etiquette!"
Seeing that his mother who always loved him scolded him when he was most afraid, the little emperor became even more frightened.
The crowd of people kneeling in the lobby were all silent and stiff like dummies. He was really scared.
"No, I want Aunt Jia and my cousin to accompany me up, otherwise I won't go up!" The little emperor lost his temper, he is a child, how can he care about whether he is proper or not?
Although Concubine Cheng taught him very meticulously and rigorously, and the little emperor had promised him well before that, and he had rehearsed it no less than a hundred times in Concubine Cheng's palace, but most of the rehearsals were familiar faces after all. Not so today.
When the emperor lost his temper, who would dare to scold him except the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?
Even if Concubine Cheng wanted to scold her because she was anxious, she had to endure it.
Today is a good day for my son to become emperor. If the emperor is reprimanded by her queen mother in public, how can he stand up in front of the officials in the future?
At this time, Qin Tianjian was solemnly reporting to Lin Fufu and the empress dowager: "Princess Tiangui is a thousand years old, empress dowager, this auspicious time must not be missed! Once the auspicious time is missed, I am afraid it will be very ominous... Let Your Majesty ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Qin Tianjian was talking about this, all the ministers also knelt in unison: "Please ascend the throne earlier, Your Majesty!"
No words were spoken before, but now all the ministers spoke in unison again, the voice was like a bell, and once again the little emperor was terrified enough that he gritted his teeth until he hugged Lin Fufu's legs and did not let go.
The empress dowager was so anxious that she said sternly: "In order not to miss the auspicious time for His Majesty's enthronement, let the Ai family hug His Majesty!"
