Chapter 95 Entering the Palace to Thank You Imperial City, Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Shui Rong wore a silver-winged king's hat and a five-claw sitting dragon python robe. Next to him was Yuan Chun, who was wearing an autumn-colored auspicious suit. The two of them crossed the white crane screen in the middle and saw Emperor Yongkang sitting cross-legged on the Kang. They immediately saluted and said: "My brother Shui Rong, I am Jia Yuanchun, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
The reason why Shuiluo and Yuanchun met the Holy Spirit this time was because their marriage was granted by Emperor Yongkang and was officiated by the Emperor, so they came to thank the Emperor for his kindness.
Emperor Yongkang had a kind face and said, "No need to be polite, please sit down."
The servants hurriedly moved the brocade stools, and Shui Rong and Yuan Chun sat down safely.
Emperor Yongkang looked at Shui Rong and Yuan Chun with his eyes, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I felt that you two were a match made in heaven. Now it seems that I have a very good taste."
Emperor Yongkang had noticed the two of them on the corridor outside Shou'an Palace earlier. At that time, he felt that they were very compatible, but he didn't care at first out of fear, and even beat them with water afterwards.
When Yuan Chun heard this, his jade cheeks were slightly tipsy, and he lowered his head, while Shui Rong Luo Luo generously cupped his hands and responded: "Brother, the emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch, is it beyond our reach? Yuan Chun is virtuous and virtuous, and I am very satisfied with him." .”
Emperor Yongkang chuckled and said: "As long as you are satisfied, I remember that you were not considerate of your younger siblings when you gave me the marriage, and I thought you had done an errand."
At the time of the marriage, Shui Rong's behavior was more than disrespectful, he was extremely disgusted. He had been PUAed by Yuanchun twice before, and now Emperor Yongkang is causing trouble again. It seems that he is just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Shui Rong had a bitter look on his face and said helplessly: "Brother Emperor, it was my younger brother who misjudged me at the beginning. Please don't mention this matter again."
It was the first time, and now that she is her own daughter-in-law, how can she verbally humiliate her again? She has to change her method.
As he said that, Shui Rong said softly: "You don't know that because of this matter, I had to coax him several times before he could be coaxed. If not, I'm afraid the wedding night would be unsettled."
Emperor Yongkang laughed when he heard this and looked at Shui Rong with sharp eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Shui Rong didn't care about this. He was talking about family life, and there was no need to cover up some private words. Moreover, for royal nobles like them, women were mostly vassals. It can be seen from this that a prince spent all his efforts to coax women. His ambition.
However, when he was free, Shui Rong glanced at Yuanchun with his head hanging down, and knew that he was shy in his heart, but his chin was almost touching his chest, and he had to lament Yuanchun's mind when he lowered his head and could not see his toes.
After recounting the family affairs for a while, Emperor Yongkang suddenly said: "Xiao Liu, you are now married, what are your plans for the future."
When Shui Rong heard this, he understood in his heart that after starting a family and starting a family, his career should not be left behind. Emperor Yongkang's intention was nothing more than to recruit Shui Rong.
After groaning, Shui Rong said, "My brother is too distracted to consider these matters. I wonder if my brother has any suggestions?"
The situation was different, so the method of water-soluble treatment was naturally different, so he did not refuse as harshly and politely as before.
Regarding the future development direction, Shui Rong had plans in his mind, but he couldn't say it directly, otherwise he would be suspected of asking for an official position. This time he took the initiative to ask Emperor Yongkang as the main subject. This not only showed his superiority, but also gave Emperor Yongkang With room for maneuver, why not!
As for the worry that Emperor Yongkang would be stingy with him, it was pure nonsense. Not to mention that he was a dignified prince, even in the current situation, Emperor Yongkang would not treat him lightly.
Emperor Yongkang naturally understood the meaning of Shuixong, looked at it twice, and said with a smile: "Beijing Prince's Palace has been controlling the Chinese Army Governor's Palace since the founding of Daqian. In this case, you can go and take charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Palace!" "
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong immediately stood up and thanked him. Yuan Chun, who was standing by him, also followed suit when he saw this.
Shui Rong was not surprised that Emperor Yongkang asked him to take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. After all, as Emperor Yongkang said, since the founding of the Daqian Empire, the Beijing Palace has controlled the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and most of its ministers are from the north. The old tribes of Prince Jing's Mansion have intertwined forces.
Before Shui Rong attacked the lord, he had thought about taking over the Central Military Governor's Mansion. However, since the death of the old North Commandery Prince, Emperor Yongkang had not made arrangements and instead ordered the Ministry of War to take charge. This made Shui Rong understand that Emperor Yongkang wanted to use the Ministry of War to suppress the five armies. The Governor's Mansion, or to be precise, suppressed Wu Xun with civilian officials, so he gave up on the matter.
At present, the water-soluble attitude is leaning towards the imperial party, and Emperor Yongkang naturally has other plans. The Governor-General of the Five Armies is responsible for the management of the army, in charge of military status, and the selection of generals. It has the power to command troops but not to deploy them. The Ministry of War is responsible for the appointment, removal, promotion and appointment of officers. The purpose is to mobilize troops. It has the power to mobilize troops but not the power to command them. The two restrict each other to ensure that military power will not become dominant.
The reason why Emperor Gaozu followed the Ming Dynasty's Five Army Commander's Office system was that he valued the Five Armed Forces Commander's Office and the Ministry of War to form constraints. How could Emperor Yongkang not know this as the emperor.
As for being afraid of cliques forming in Prince Beijing's palace, there is no connection between the upper and lower levels of the imperial court. As long as Shui Rong favors Emperor Yongkang and the clique is not for personal gain, there is no need to be afraid.
Emperor Yongkang offered some help, and then said in a serious voice: "The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army is related to the safety of the capital. I leave it to you so that I can rest assured."
When Shui Rong heard this, he understood clearly that the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army was in charge of the Beizhili area, which was the central area of the Daqian imperial court. Prince Jing's Mansion was restrained, and this was Emperor Yongkang's expression of trust.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong expressed his position: "Brother, don't worry, my brother will definitely do his duty with all his heart."
After hearing this, Emperor Yongkang nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not easy for you to take up the post at the beginning of your marriage. Please take a rest for a period of time, and I will give the order."
When Yuanchun heard this, her jade cheeks were slightly drunk, and she lowered her head and said nothing. After all, this was a serious matter between men, and she, a woman, shouldn't be too meddlesome.
Shui Rong felt that what Emperor Yongkang said was reasonable. This newlywed should indeed spend time with his wife first and treat it as a wedding leave, so he agreed with a a while, Shui Rong felt that the matter was almost over, so he turned around and said, "Brother Huang is busy with government affairs, so I will not disturb Brother Huang."
Emperor Yongkang nodded lightly when he heard this, but did not hold back.
Immediately, Shui Rong and Yuan Chun walked out side by side and walked to the corner of the corridor. A group of people came towards them. The leader was Yunjiao'e, wearing a five-phoenix Chaoyang pearl hairpin on his head and a golden Yunyan shirt embroidered with phoenix. The meandering floor-length yellow skirt with ancient patterns, double butterflies and clouds in the shape of a thousand water, and the hand-held Bixia Luo peony mist gauze, have a graceful and luxurious temperament.
This is Empress Zhou of Daqian. Although she is over thirty years old, she is plump in body, has a face as charming as the moon, and her eyes are shining with hope, and her elegance has not diminished.
Shui Rong and Yuan Chun made way, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Empress Zhou passed by Shui Rong and stopped in front of her. She turned her phoenix eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother, you don't know how to say hello to the emperor's wife when you see her."
Shui Rong couldn't help but raise his brows as he listened to the gentle voice. Shui Rong had only met Queen Daqian a few times and was not close to her.
There is no unprovoked show of kindness in the world. Now Zhou Hou took the initiative to say hello and spoke intimately, which made Shui Rong uncontrollably wary.
However, the dignified Empress Qian still had to give her face, so she cupped her hands and said, "I have met the emperor's sister-in-law."
Zhou Hou's Liu eyebrows were slightly frowned. Although Shui Rong addressed her as the emperor's sister-in-law, her tone was a little serious.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Hou looked at Yuanchun who was saluting Yingying. He took off the silver double-buckle bracelet from Hao's wrist and handed it to Yuanchun. Luo, when you have free time, come to the palace and accompany me to relieve your boredom."
Yuan Chun's star eyes turned slightly, her jade face smiled, and she responded: "When I have some free time, I will go to the palace to see the emperor's sister-in-law more often."
After hearing this, Zhou Hou smiled sweetly, said "Hmm", and walked away with lotus steps without saying a word.
Shui Rong's eyes looked at the departing figure of Empress Zhou thoughtfully, and after a moment he said, "Yuan Chun, let's go to the Daming Palace to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor first."
As for the Supreme Emperor, he is Shui Rong's biological father after all, and the Supreme Emperor has always treated him well, so since he has a new daughter-in-law, he should take her to see her.
Yuanchun didn't say much about this. No one inside or outside the court knew about the relationship between Shui Rong and the Supreme Emperor. As the saying goes, if a husband sings and a wife follows, she just follows her husband honestly.
The two of them walked to the Daming Palace. The young eunuch outside the palace gate saw Shui Rong and hurriedly passed a message inside. After a while, Dai Quan, wearing a bright red python robe, ran up to meet him. He flattered and saluted: "My slave, please give your regards to the prince and princess."
Shui Rong didn't say much, and was led into the Daming Palace by Dai Quan. After walking dozens of steps along the corridor, he came to the main hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the Supreme Emperor sitting on the throne in an apricot yellow robe. A chessboard is placed among several cases, as if they are playing scores.
"I, Shuirong, and my concubine, Jia Yuanchun, pay homage to the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor raised his eyes to look at the two of them, his turbid eyes mostly focused on Yuan Chun. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Jia Daishan's granddaughter has a pretty good birth."
Immediately, the Supreme Emperor signaled, and Dai Quan walked up with a tray with a smile. On the tray was a square of purple gold and jade Ruyi.
"I will reward you with this gift. May you and your wife sing in harmony."
Yuan Chun felt slightly happy when he heard this. This move by the Supreme Emperor also recognized her as his "daughter-in-law".
Shui Rong and Yuan Chunfu thanked each other for their kindness, and immediately came close to each other, sat opposite each other, and began to play chess with the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor gave birth to a son, and immediately asked: "What arrangements does the fourth child have?"
When Shui Rong heard this, he didn't realize that he was there. With the Supreme Emperor's wisdom, he must have guessed that Emperor Yongkang would definitely have other arrangements when he entered the palace. Facing the Supreme Emperor, Shui Rong did not hide it and responded: "Brother, the Emperor is planning to surrender. My brother is in charge of the Governor’s Mansion of the Chinese Army."
The Supreme Emperor's expression was as usual, he groaned, and said: "Xiao Liu, they are all people who have made contributions to the court, try to save some face."
Shui Rongluozi's hand paused, and he understood what the Emperor meant. If Shui Rong took over the Central Military Governor's Mansion, he would definitely have to vigorously rectify it. Those who had violated the Beijing Prince's Mansion, or in other words, did not recognize him in their hearts. The Prince of Beijing County will definitely not tolerate him staying in the Governor's Mansion, and the Supreme Emperor's words are nothing more than intercession, so that the water solution method should not be too drastic.
After a deep groan, Shui Rongluo said, "I understand."
Shui Rong had his own plans for those former members of the Prince's Palace in Beijing. Those thorns would definitely not remain, but some small shrimps and the like would consider it as appropriate. After all, Shui Rong couldn't kill them all with one blow.
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he looked up at Shui Rong, but he didn't say anything and just played chess with Shui Rong in peace.
