94. Fanwai (Jing Yan Qiao Yu): After the Seal
The day when Jing Yan ascended the throne was set in the beginning of the fourth year after Emperor Yuande was seriously ill.
In fact, the court officials had written letters again and again. He requested Jing Yan to ascend the throne because he was not willing to ascend the throne too early. First, he was too restricted after becoming the emperor, and secondly, it was a problem in the court. Since Chen Sang left, Nanjiang has maintained peace and was always a bit uneasy, so he had to take it slowly. The last thing and the most important thing. Jing Yan has been deployed for so many years. It has not been completed yet, and it is not time to ensure that everything is foolproof.
That day was decided by Si Tianjian. After the incident of the Qing Taoist, Si Tianjian shrank his head for a while. Now it was finally their turn to do so. They had been divining back and forth several times and set up a few excellent days. After presenting it, they could only hear Jing Yan say, "Let's figure out which two good days are adjacent to each other."
The person below quietly exchanged his eyes and probably understood in his heart. This is a happy event.
It’s a good day without two neighbors. They had to compile one of the ancient books through Sitianjian.
As soon as the people from Sitianjian retreated, Sheng Hai came in with a memorial. �
When Jingyan opened, she was the descendant chosen by the clan for him. It is said that each had good looks and good character, and had ages from old to young, and had its own connection with every family in the clan.
Because he could not have children, the news had been spread long ago. It was just that Qiao Yu had just returned. Seeing that he had improved his temper, the court officials tried to hand over the note and persuaded Jing Yan to choose a concubine. Jing Yan threw the note on the spot and left with her sleeve.
This is almost never seen before.
Later, the clan's people who were stationed in the palace barely found out that it was the current Regent, and later emperor Jing Yan suffered a serious illness in Taiqing Palace, which hurt his body and could not have children, so he reacted so much to the selection of concubines.
Many people know about this matter, and they can't hide it at all. Everyone in the court knows it, but they just pretend to be deaf and dumb and dare not speak.
Relying on being a royal relative, the clan did not dare to expose it in terms of face, but he sent all the children's lists very "concerned" and allowed Jing Yan to choose.
Unfortunately, Jing Yan didn't choose any of them and even gave an order, saying that in order to educate these princes and grandchildren, he was sent to teach in the suburbs of Beijing and four years after he was born. After he finished his studies, he would serve the Great Zhou well, so as not to delay his talent.
The clan dares not talk much anymore.
However, this matter could not be hidden from the court officials, and they soon realized it.
Jing Yan didn't care about their little movements. After making the note, he went back to Xianlin Palace. Qiao Yu sat cross-legged on the soft couch, with various exquisite candy pastries and snacks in front of him, and he didn't even touch a few bites. It was winter now, and the fire dragon in the room was burning very hot. He was still wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and his hot cheeks were red. He was doing a difficult manner to draw text under the lights.
He heard the movement at the door, and turned his head and saw Jing Yan standing there. When he threw the brush, he didn't care about anything. He jumped down and threw himself into Jing Yan's arms.
Jing Yan grabbed Qiao Yu, wiped the cinnabar that accidentally applied to the tip of his nose, and asked softly: "What did you do today?"
Qiao Yu counted it one by one for Jing Yan. He would not stay in the Xianlin Palace all day now, and would go to the Hanlin Academy to chat and talk about things, which was interesting.
At the end, he paused and whispered to Jing Yan's ear: "They asked me to tell you something. I think it makes sense, so I decided to tell you."
Those people clearly just hint, and they were extremely obscure, hoping that Qiao Yu would also say it to Jing Yan in a vague way, but they did not expect this consequence. In the hearts of the court officials, Jing Yan was a good emperor who could manage the Great Zhou well and was rare in a thousand years, but they were not gentle. Even if they said a very disrespectful word in their hearts, they were almost violent.
But no one knew how he and Qiao Yu were together. Jing Yan could not be suspicious of anything Qiao Yu said, and Qiao Yu could not hide anything from Jing Yan.
After hearing Qiao Yu's words, Jing Yan nodded.
Qiao Yu continued, "They said, you must not have a future without a day, and you are destined to be unable to have children. I am afraid that the government will be unstable in the future, so at least one person will be openly there. Now the late Wang family in Xi'an has an extra grandson, which is a good seedling for adoption."
Jing Yan smiled, "I dare not write me a note, but I have told you all the gossip. But Xiaoyu said that it would be better if I don't raise it."
Qiao Yu actually has no interest in raising children. He has not grown up yet. He is completely for Jing Yan's consideration and persuaded him dryly: "To raise a child, there are so many things in the palace, can he still eat and wear less? If he raises it, he can still reassure everyone in the world."
Jing Yan lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes half-closed, and said with a teasing voice: "The Empress has not yet been officially enthroned, and she has been in the boudoir, so she has been admonishing my harem political affairs. It is a great blessing for the people."
Qiao Yu was originally justified in reasoning with him, but after hearing this, he couldn't help laughing. He raised his head to kiss Jing Yan's chin, kissed him again and again, sighed, and pretended to say, "Your Majesty is right, but our Jade Queen has long been a man of the name. When she grows to nineteen years old, she..."
He wanted to take a joke, but unfortunately he was still thin-skinned and didn't say it.
Jing Yan leaned over, took Qiao Yu tighter, almost put it in his arms, and kissed him deeply until Qiao Yu was almost breathless, and then he pressed his fingertips against Qiao Yu's lips. He slowly continued: "I just recommended myself to the pillow and mattress. I've been on the prince's bed. What else can I say? I can play chess and sleep with me. Everything is fine, right?"
Qiao Yu's eyes were red. I don't know if it was just now or was shy, so I had to be angry and forced to pull the topic back, "I'm telling you serious things! That child's life experience is really great."
Even Qiao Yu's stupid personality can be seen how suitable that child is to enter the palace. The King of Xi'an is the youngest brother of Emperor Yuande. Because he was still young when he seized the throne, he was left with a life. He was eighteen years old and sent out of the palace to be a remote idle king. However, he saw Emperor Yuande killing the eldest brother with his own eyes. He had this secret in his heart, was too frightened and could not sleep every day. He passed away shortly after getting married, but fortunately he also left a son. His son was also weak.
He was sick, his fiefdom was poor and bitter, and he had the title of a free king, so he could not afford to make ends meet. The noble daughter of a high-ranking aristocratic clan could not marry, so he married a virtuous and virtuous girl from a small official family. He was also on the same fate as his father. Before the child was born, he died of anger. Therefore, the relationship between the child before he was born was broken, and the remaining mother was a small official in the family, and she could not cause any storm. Now she is young and can easily raise her.
Jing Yan was still very careless, "The child is good, but it was wrong when he was born. If he really wanted to raise him, he would be old and be unhappy in the future. I am not old yet. Should I abdicate and let him go, or would he seize his power and raise another one?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Aci is right."
Jing Yan smiled lightly and continued, "This child needs to be raised, but it's not now, Xiaoyu should not worry about this. Raising a child is too troublesome, it's not easier than raising a kitten or a dog. If you really raise it in the future, if Xiaoyu likes it, take a look when it's okay, and tease it. If you don't like it, change it, don't care about him. I'm alive, you don't have to look at anyone's face. If I die, we must be buried together, and can we still care about what will happen after death?"
He had already thought about everything in the future, and it was longer than anyone thought.
Qiao Yu pressed against Jing Yan's chest, heard the other person's heartbeat in his right ear, and the left was his own. It took him a long time to speak, "I know that our lives are naturally shared by the same life."
He was afraid of pain and suffering, but he hoped to live hard and live longer, at least one quarter of an hour longer than his Aci. The two of them experienced death separation together, and the one that stayed was too painful, so Qiao Yu was reluctant to let Jing Yan taste it again.
Qiao Yu only hopes that the gods and Buddhas of the sky and grandmother can satisfy her tiny wish.
However, Jing Yan hopes that among the two, he will leave behind himself, so that he can settle all the funerals and not leave him alone in the world.
Moreover, from birth to death, Qiao Yu's life will never be without him Jing Yan for a quarter of an hour.
In late autumn, Jing Yan had already dealt with all the obstacles of Qiao Yufeng, but decided not to be satisfied. What he wanted was not only no objection or resistance, but also praise and even like.
He invited Gu Fengfang to come, and Gu Fengfang resigned again, but he was still stronger and stronger. He went to the Imperial College to teach when he was energetic, and even taught himself Western languages. He also planned to wait until the port was opened to communicate with the Westerners face to learn new things on the other side of the sea.
Jing Yan sat on the high seat in the lobby and heard the little eunuch outside say that Gu Fengfang was here, so he walked to the door to greet him, the teacher.
Gu Fengfang did not kneel down, but just bowed and bowed. It was not because he was old because of his qualifications, but because he was Jing Yan's teacher. If he formally bowed down, it would not be very etiquette.
Jing Yan came to him for one thing, and he wanted Gu Fengfang to personally write an edict to confer Qiao Yu as Empress. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he wanted to confer a title to the queen, he would issue two edicts, one was written by the emperor himself to express his close love. The other was an eulogy written by the emperor in order to praise the queen's character and also represented the respect of the people of the world.
Gu Fengfang has been an official for more than 50 years and has been in charge of the scientific research for nearly 20 years. He has been teaching everywhere. After begging for the bones, he has served as a lecturer in the Imperial College. For the sake of the students of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is selfless and honest. He can be said to be full of talents all over the world. Even if scholars are not from his disciples, their teachers, classmates, or relatives and friends must be inseparable from Gu Fengfang. He personally wrote an edict for Qiao Yu's conferred edict, and scholars in the world will never have any words of slander, but they can only praise them together.
Jing Yan continued: "I have planned to open the customs on that day to celebrate the marriage and welcome all parties to congratulate you."
He promised Gu Fengfang to open the customs, but he didn't plan to regret it, but there were too many things inside how to open it, how to open it, and when to open it.
Gu Fengfang had actually expected it. He was a person who knew Jing Yan's personality very well. He smiled bitterly and said, "If your highness really wants to write it, the old minister will not be able to disobey the sacred order. But Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this has been like this since he was a child, and you have to get whatever you want."
He changed his name. From now on, Jing Yan is indeed a good emperor, governing the country, stabilizing the border, and opening up the world. But once he becomes tired of being a good emperor, it is easy to become a tyrant, and even more terrible thing. No one in this world can stop him.
Jing Yan stood up and sat in Gu Fengfang's lower position, as if he understood Gu Fengfang's unfinished words, "I will make the people of the world live a better life and have enough food and clothing, but my wish, the only one wish, must be fulfilled."
He paused and chuckled slowly, "And, I promised Qiao Yu that he would become a good emperor, as long as he stayed with me and looked at me."
Gu Fengfang sighed. He knew that deep love from the emperor was not a good thing, not to mention that this situation was against a man. But now it was a blessing or a disaster, but he tended to be a blessing.
In the twelfth lunar month of the year, Gu Fengfang personally submitted a memorial and an edict, and after Vision Yan ascended the throne, Qiao Yu was appointed as the queen.
Everyone in the world knows Gu Fengfang's character. If it weren't for his original intention, he wouldn't have written it even if he had killed his life.
The civil officials and censors who were still in the mood for admonition also stopped. Mr. Gu personally wrote an edict for Qiao Yu, so what's the use of them stopping him?
In the early spring of the year, the weather was very good that day, with peach blossoms burning and a yard filled with a yard. Qiao Yu got up early in the morning, with only a dry steamed bun in her belly, and was fiddled with by the maids around her. She finally put on her clothes and put on her crown. She followed the eunuch who led the way to the altar in a daze.
He always felt uneasy when he didn't see Jing Yan.
Under the altar stairs, civil servants and generals knelt all over the floor in front and behind the ranks, bowed their heads obediently and shouted Qiao Yu's title.
Qiao Yu wore a red dress, not a woman's long dress, but the same style as Jing Yan's. She had a phoenix embroidered on her head, her wings were spread, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her skin was black, and her temples were wearing a moon flower when she was married. The layers of petals fell on the corners of her eyes, making her eyebrows and eyes more charming.
The road to the altar is only accessible to the emperor and the empress.
The eunuch who led the way retreated to the side, Qiao Yu raised his foot and walked up. The steps were steep and long. He walked very slowly, for fear of falling. Halfway through the journey, he was exhausted and stopped a little. His sleeves were very wide and long, hanging on the steps, like a phoenix spreading his wings, resting here briefly.
Qiao Yu stood on the steps and looked up at the top. There was only an altar, surrounded by colorful flags, and the ground was engraved with dragons and phoenixes. Jing Yan stood alone on the platform, with the wind blowing around him, but he was not shaken at all.
At that moment, Qiao Yu thought she had seen a god.
But even the gods belong to him alone.
When Qiao Yu thought about this, her inner timid disappeared in an instant and her courage became full of energy.
He walked to the last step of the stairs, grabbed Jing Yan's hand that was stretched out to him, chuckled softly, and whispered: "I'm grabbing your hand again."
After a pause, he said solemnly: "From the future, we will go on together and will never be separated again."
