Chapter 591 Lord Ning
The team walked on the street. Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, looked left and right, waved to the people on the street, looking leisurely. Many people pointed out and discussed it as if they knew him.
Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, immediately smiled and said, "Lord Ning rarely comes to the capital. How can he seem to be quite familiar with the capital? The people seem to know a lot about you."
Zhu Chenhao smiled and said, "When the emperor died and the emperor ascended the throne, I stayed in Beijing from Nanchang for a period of time and served porridge in the old wooden factory for a month. Maybe they met me at that time. I am not unfamiliar with the capital. In fact, I invite the emperor's decree to Beijing every year, and I have visited a lot of scenic spots and historical sites in Beijing.
Xu Guangzuo smiled and said, "So that's it. The news is closed. I don't know that the prince often comes to the capital, otherwise I will ask the prince to enjoy it..."
Xu Guangzuo didn't finish his words, but Zhu Chenhao had turned his head and seemed to have no interest in Xu Guangzuo. Xu Guangzuo was a little embarrassed and listened to what Zhu Chenhao and Song Nan said.
Song Nan sat silently on the horse and recalled the situation just now. As Yang Ting and the foreign court gradually mastered the internal affairs of the court, the civil servants had expanded so much that they had to come out and chat about little things, especially to be ruthless to themselves, thinking about whether they wanted to find a reason to give it to him. Let's have a look and let them not jump so hard. Hearing Zhu Chenhao seem to ask a question in his ear, he quickly turned his head and saw Zhu Chenhao looking at himself with a smile.
"I'm sorry, what did the prince just ask?"
Xu Guangzuo said coldly, "Song Nan, you are too big. The prince asked you a few words, but you didn't hear it."
Song Nan ignored him and arched her hand and smiled, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about some difficult things in the government office just now. I was distracted for a moment. Please forgive your rudeness."
Zhu Chenhao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I have been looking forward to the name of the Marquis of Song for a long time and want to be close to the Marquis of Song. Just now, I asked the Marquis Song about Guigeng this year.
Song Nan smiled and said, "I want to reply to the prince, the subordinate is 21 years old this year."
Zhu Chenhao nodded and sighed, "At the age of 21 years, he is in full bloom. Lord Song is so young that he is among the important ministers in the imperial court that I can't expect him to carry it. I am 31 years old this year, ten years older than you. Ten years ago, when I was your age, I was still a person who knew nothing.
Song Nan hurriedly said, "The prince is modest. The prince's rich and beautiful posture is admirable. After all, the royal family is different from those of us. By the way, the prince spoke for the lower official just now, thank you very much."
Zhu Chenhao smiled and said, "Don't mention this matter. Some ministers in the court just can't do business and have more than one else. If it is not limited by my identity, I will definitely report to the emperor and let the emperor distinguish who is the real pillar of the country in the dynasty. Like the Marquis of Song, the talent who can turn the tide for me in the Ming Dynasty at a critical time is a real virtuous minister. To be honest, I admire what the Marquis Song has done, and I have long wanted to meet and make friends with the marquis today. I'm very happy to have this opportunity.
Song Nan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't say that. This can kill the subordinate. The subordinate is not as good as the prince said. The subordinate is just doing his own part."
Zhu Chenhao shook his head, and the Bauhinia crown on his head shone in the sun: "Don't be modest. What should I do? Who can save the emperor from ten thousand enemies in Xinping Fort? Who can lead the army east and west to eliminate the rebels when the mob rises? Who can understand the conspiracy of Anhua Rebellion and quell the rebellion? Among other things, these three things alone are enough to shame many ministers in the dynasty who self-respected as senior ministers.
Song Nan doesn't know what Zhu Chenhao's intention is to praise herself like this, but although Zhu Chenhao is noble, his words and behavior are amiable, and he is also full of sincere strength. Song Nan's good impression of Zhu Chenhao has also increased a little.
"Margrave Song, before and after the emperor's wedding, I was in the capital. How about we have a chance to get together for a drink and chat? Zhu Chenhao doesn't have many friends, but I want to make friends with the marquis. I don't know if it's abrupt.
Song Nan hurriedly said, "The prince has a life, and of course the subordinate can't ask for it."
Zhu Chenhao shook his head and said, "You said this as if I was forcing you. I am sincere. Well, after today's errand, I will hold a banquet in the Spring Breeze Building. Be sure to invite the Marquis Song to enjoy it."
Song Nan said hurriedly, "If you want to be a subordinate, how can you let the prince do it?"
"Ok, it's your treat. You're in the capital. You're the owner. You treat me today, and I'll treat you tomorrow." Zhu Chenhao didn't insist at all and said with a smile.
Xu Guangzuo beside him was left alone. Listening to Zhu Chenhao and Song Nan's words, he was very uncomfortable with the appearance of not to pay much attention to himself. Among the descendants of the Zhu family are serious nobles. No matter how high the status of the crowned princes and princes is, they are always unconsciously short in front of these princes and grandchildren. One head, the blood of Taizu flows in his body, which is nothing to argue about. However, Song Nan's title is lower than his own. Why did he lose to him?
"Your Majesty, I also want to ask you to appreciate your face. Tonight, I have prepared thin wine. Can you come to appreciate it?" Xu Guangzuo interrupted with a smile.
"Don't you hear the agreement between me and Marquis Song? After today's errand, Marquis Song wants to invite me. I don't know how to split up. How can I go to your house for a banquet?
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm old and confused, so what about tomorrow?"
"Oh, I'll invite Marquis Song tomorrow."
"Well, the day after tomorrow, please be sure to appreciate it the day after tomorrow."
Zhu Chenhao smiled and said, "Well, I'll go to your house for a drink the day after tomorrow. My husband is so hospitable that I can't help but give face."
Xu Guangzuo was finally relieved. At least the prince did not refuse. His Royal Highness King Ning is a figure. He has a lot of contacts with the emperor among the vassals and has a good relationship. Although he does not intend to cling to him, after all, it is not a bad thing to make friends with him, and in front of Song Nan, he can never lose to this. A kind-hearted boy.
While talking, the firecrackers in front of him rang in the sky, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded in an instant. A bodyguard came to report: "Your Majesty, Xia Mansion has arrived."
Everyone looked up and looked forward. The crowd at the entrance of the alley in front of them was very lively. An old man in a dark red silk shirt was standing at the entrance of the alley with his head up. Zhu Chenhao smiled and said, "We're there. Let's get off the horse. The alley is narrow. I'm afraid the horse can't ride."
Xia Ru stood respectfully at the entrance of the alley to greet him. Seeing Zhu Chenhao coming with Song Nan and Xu Guangzuo with the imperial edict, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted and said loudly, "Welcome the three angels. Xia Ru, a subordinate, has been waiting for a long time."
Zhu Chenhao smiled and said, "Come on, you are the future state father. Don't kill me and wait. Get up and go to your house to announce the decree."
Xia Ru hurriedly stood up. The guards had dispersed the lively people around the entrance of the alley. Xia Ru led the way, walked more than a hundred steps along the narrow alley five feet wide, and came to a small courtyard. This small courtyard has only two into six or seven houses, which is an ordinary yard, which is not as good as ordinary rich and noble families, but Seeing that the Xia family is simply a small family; it is also incredible that a golden phoenix has flown out of such a simple place.
Seven or eight people of the Xia family have already been waiting in the front hall. Zhu Chenhao saw that the hall was narrow and simply read the imperial edict in the yard. Xia Ru led the family to kneel in the yard. Zhu Chenhao read loudly, "I am the emperor's edict: I inherit the order of heaven, admire Shao Hongtu, the way of the country, and the right family is the foundation. The family of husband and wife, the righteousness of the universe. In fact, with the respect of the sacrifice of the Sangzong and the sincerity of co-adoration, the resources are only in accordance with the order of the Empress Dowager. Send envoys to hold festivals and choose with courtesy. The daughter of Xia Ru, the editor of national history, is the queen, and she ordered you to hold the festival and offer treasures and salutes.
Xia Ru shouted Long live three times and took the family to worship three times and received the imperial edict. As soon as this decree was proclaimed, Xia Ru's daughter was the emperor's queen. At present, her status immediately changed. General officials' attendants, including Zhu Chenhao, Songnan and Xu Guangzuo, immediately knelt down and saluted Miss Xia. Miss Xia was speechless and her body I am also trembling with fear. From now on, she is the queen of the mother world. This transformation is too fast, and it is inevitable that she is nervous and helpless.
"Xia Guozhang, the emperor gave the Xiyuan House to Yu Guozhang, and there will be a reward order in a few days. Before the wedding, there will be a number of female officials and eunuchs in the palace to serve the empress. Jinyiwei will send 100 generals to protect the empress. Xia Guozhang, you can arrange the things in your house by yourself. What do you need or It's a request. You can find me three to handle it.
Xia Ru thanked repeatedly: "Three adults work hard, three adults work hard, drink tea in the hall."
Song Nan said, "I'm not busy drinking tea. The queen can't live here. She has to move to a new house quickly. There are many people here. If something goes wrong, it's great."
Xia Ru hurriedly said, "What the marquis said, but he listened to the instructions of the three angels."
Zhu Chenhao immediately ordered, carried the phoenix sedan chair, let Miss Xia get on the sedan chair, and escorted Song Nan and others to the new mansion in Xiyuan in person, and arranged for the protection of General Jinyiwei Dahan and the eunuch of the palace. They only ate something simply at noon and continued to work in the afternoon. It was not until the end that they were busy here. Seven eight eight.
The three left Xia Ruxin Mansion and said halfway, "Marquis Song, it's not long before dinner. Let's just find a restaurant to chat and drink. Don't forget that you're going to invite me to the banquet tonight."
Song Nan smiled and said, "How can I forget this? Lord, please, let's walk in the Spring Breeze Tower."
Xu Guangzuo waited for Song Nan to say, "Mr. Xu, come together." But Song Nan didn't mean that at all.
Instead, Zhu Chenhao said to him, "My husband took someone back to the palace for class. When the emperor asked, he said that Marquis Song had invited me a drink."
Xu Guangzuo was depressed, but he still agreed with a smile on his face. When he watched Song Nan and Zhu Chenhao ride away and disappear on the corner of the street, his face turned darkly and took a sip, turned the horse's head back to the palace with the honor guard and everyone to recover his life.
