Chapter 84 Chapter 84
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year, and in December, Wu Junyi will also usher in the longest holiday of the year.
What does the emperor need to do every day?On some days, you have to get up before dawn to go to the court meeting. On days without a court meeting, you have to rise to the morning court, go to the banquet in the afternoon, and meet important officials if you have important matters, not to mention you can't stop from morning till night. Memorial.
When he was free, Wu Junyi would go to practice martial arts, ride a horse, or even go out to inspect the palace.Calculated in this way, there are only a handful of times in a day that can be controlled by himself.Even when Shen Yu was with him, they were busy with government affairs most of the time.
Emperor Jianning is of course limited, reciting poems, singing with literati, drinking and painting, but the price of these times is to hand over the imperial court to others, and the Zhongshu province under the command of the prime minister will issue an edict. Wu Junyi can't do this kind of thing anyway. come out.
After a long time, Wu Junyi didn't even have time to listen to the cabinet ministers' report. After they discussed the matter in the Hall of Martial Arts, they summarized their opinions and wrote them into a small ink book, which was sandwiched in the relevant memorials, called the draft draft.In this way, the memorial sent to Wu Junyi can be filtered first, and Wu Junyi can also directly see the thoughts of the cabinet ministers and provide reference when correcting the memorial.
However, the memorial directly sent to the Hall of Martial Arts was only a part after all.Just because he can directly contact the memorial, Wu Junyi has extremely strict requirements on the selection and shift of cabinet ministers.
It was also for Shen Yu's convenience that Wu Junyi decided to move the discussion in the Hall of Martial Arts to the value room of Wenyuan Pavilion, which also corresponds to the title of "Governor".When he mentioned it to Shen Yu, he was also cautious. "It's not all for you, it's also for the convenience of my summoning. The Wuying Hall is a long way from the Wenhua Hall. If you want to ask something, you have to go to the eunuch. And in the Wenyuan Pavilion, if you want to consult some ancient books and materials, It’s all ready-made.”
"What's the matter, His Majesty wants to move, just let me know." Shen Yu didn't think it was a big deal.Anyway, the palace belonged to his family, and he could arrange it however he wanted.
Wu Junyi also said thoughtfully: "The Hall of Martial Ying is vacant, and when King Wei is older, he can move out to study."
The vassal kings are generally raised in the East Hall of the harem in the palace, and they study in the Charity Hall uniformly.The Wuying Hall is opposite to the Wenhua Hall, and the Wenhua Hall was the East Palace when Wu Junyi was the prince.He placed a palace for King Wei, so he naturally regarded him as his heir.
This was a tacit understanding between the two, even so, Shen Yu's lips trembled again when she found out that the other party was fully prepared.
After the imperial court sealed the pen, except for military affairs such as border wars, the imperial court no longer dealt with government affairs. Counting from New Year's Day, the emperor and ministers had a seven-day holiday.Although Wu Junyi still has a lot of things to do, such as the New Year's Day Grand Meeting, such as dealing with the big and small concubines and two little dolls in the harem, but compared to the heavy daily handling of government affairs, these are trivial matters.
In the Wenhua Palace, Shen Yu finished reading the memorial for the last time, and said to Wu Junyi, "I wish you a New Year greeting in advance." Wu Junyi grabbed his hand listlessly, and sighed, "I really don't want you to go out."
"What's the point of sighing at the end of the year, I will make a special trip to the palace to pay you New Year's greetings on the first day of the year." Shen Yu said.
Wu Junyi was thinking about it, all he wanted was to watch the New Year with him.But Shen Yu had to go home to accompany his parents, and Wu Junyi also had a palace of people waiting for him.Wu Junyi also knew this truth, so he had to repeatedly ask someone to bring him the painting of Zhong Kui in the palace before letting him go.
Shen Yu said a lot of auspicious words to the father-in-law who sent him out, and took a few gold and silver picks as a gift before returning home.
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, the Shen family got up to clean the house, replaced it with door gods, hung up a statue of Zhong Kui bestowed by the emperor, nailed peach charms, spring couplets, and hung red paper signs.
Shen He opened the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices, and when the two brothers came out, the Shen family was already bustling with preparations. The pine pot was burning in the yard, and there was a large plate full of midnight snacks on the table.
Shen Yu's promotion this year is also a happy event for the family. Mrs. Song is in charge of the inner courtyard, so naturally the New Year's Eve is extremely lively.Ding Yi and his wife went back to their hometown to visit relatives, there were only four members of the Shen family, so there was no need to hire storytellers or theater troupe, as being at home by oneself was clean.
Shen Lin played wildly with her friends outside, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, while Shen Yu accompanied her parents to prepare things for the night watch.
Mrs. Song looked her son up and down, and said, "Bo Jin is really an adult, when he can marry a daughter-in-law and come back to take care of the house, mother doesn't have to worry about it."
"What are you just talking about, Bo Jin knows it in his heart. He is still young, so he remembers to be motivated." Shen He felt guilty because his marriage with the Song family did not become a near-feud, and he did not feel guilty about Shen Yu's marriage. Why is it so urgent, I want to procrastinate for a while, and wait until the brothers and sisters of the Song family are married before making plans.
But the Song family only cared about her own son. "You can't treat Da Lang badly, the two girls in my house are pretty smart, so I might as well let you go."
Shen Yu could only shake her head. "Mother, my son doesn't need it." If Wu Junyi knew about it, it would be fine.On the one hand, the other party refused to choose a concubine, and on the other hand, he took a concubine?Shen Yu couldn't do such things.
He was thinking about Wu Junyi, but there was a knock on the door, and it was the servant who called him out, only then did he realize that Wu Junyi had asked someone to send the New Year's plate, but it was a kind of pig's hoof, herring, or fruit, and it was this rare gift decent.
Sending off the eunuch who was running errands, Shen Yu also missed Wu Junyi in the deep palace.He stood on the steps and looked up, the night sky was like day, but he couldn't see the stars and the moon, and he didn't know what happened to him in the palace.
On New Year's Day, all officials in Beijing will wear court clothes to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.
There are countless officials in Beijing, and those who are not seen on weekdays can be seen today.Shen Yu stood at the very back according to his rank. In such a spacious Fengtian Hall, he happened to be at the gate of the hall.And behind him, there are countless small officials up and down the steps.Looking at the endless crowd in front of him, he understood why Wu Junyi wanted to lay off redundant officials.
The servant invites the Queen Mother to sit behind the curtain.Today's Empress Dowager Cilie is neither the emperor's biological mother, nor has she been given the gift of nurturing, but just happens to have the name of orthodox, the emperor respects her very much, and the two are considered harmonious.
After the queen mother is seated, she is the emperor.Wu Junyi wore a new suit and a heavy crown today, walked into the palace step by step steadily, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother. "A minister said: Yuanzheng Qizuo, all things are new. Fu Wei is honored as Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, and I will be honored by the time and rest with the sky."
"The blessing of taking on the new role is the same as that of the emperor." The servant replied on his behalf.
Wu Junyi went forward to worship again, held a plate to serve wine, bowed three times, and knelt down and said: "The chief minister said: Yuanzheng Ling Festival will not be celebrated, and I would like to live a thousand years."
The waiter replied again: "Congratulations to the emperor's birthday wine."
Wu Junyi waited on the plate and waited for the Empress Dowager Cilie to finish her drink. The play of filial piety by a mother and son finally came to an end. The ceremony and music in the teaching workshop were played.
That is to say, when everyone was kneeling and prostrating, Shen Yu looked up and saw the person in front of the hall.
Their eyes briefly met. There were so many ministers in the hall paying New Year's greetings, but Wu Junyi found him precisely and exchanged a smile.
"It's Xinqing, equal to Qing." Wu Junyi replied loudly.
Jia Shengde also went forward to offer wine, and after the three lines of wine, small and scattered officials who were not of high rank could return home.The rest of the courtiers will follow Wu Junyi into Qianqing Palace to celebrate the New Year.
This time, they entered in batches, so you don't have to wait in a line that can't be seen at a glance. After entering, you can also see the holy face, and if you are lucky, you can even say a few words.
That being the case, when Shen Yu entered, his legs and feet were already sore.He, Yang Feng, Chen Hongpeng, and Guo Yi entered the room together.Because Guo Yi has the title of county horse, he ranked first, followed by him.As soon as Wu Junyi agreed to waive the courtesy, he said a word or two of encouragement to each of them, and Guo Yi bid farewell to them with a sense of humor.
Wu Junyi said: "Shen Qing, please stay!"
Shen Yu had no choice but to stop and watched the three of them go out first.As soon as the backs of the three people disappeared, Wu Junyi beckoned him to come forward, "I also felt quite a bit about what Shen Qing said the day before yesterday."
There were quite a few people waiting in front of the imperial court today, so Wu Junyi could only cover up trivial topics like this. When he was brought close to him, he hurriedly said in a low voice: "In a few days, I will take you to catch flowers." meeting."
There is a custom of chasing flowers and fighting flowers in Nandu, but they have been here for more than ten years, and they have never joined in the fun.
Because he was busy today, Wu Junyi didn't keep him, and told him to go out after talking nonsense.After sending off the officials, Wu Junyi had to go back to visit the queen mother and concubine.
After the court congratulations, a banquet is given in the hall.
Unless they are the lecturers and rotating cabinet ministers of the Sutra Banquet, other people will not have the opportunity to taste the cooking skills of the Imperial Dining Room several times throughout the year.But Shen Yu is an exception: let alone the imperial dining room, he can't wait to eat with Wu Junyi every day, and the imperial dining room often customizes delicious food for him. Others are so full of praise.
"If I say that even if you are poor as a bachelor, it is worthwhile to have one or two meals a month. At least His Majesty is charitable, and you can bring it to your family after you finish eating. You can't taste such delicious food in a few months."
"You are considered a delicacy in front of you, but if you deal with us shallow-sighted people, in front of His Majesty, that is the real delicacy."
Several officials of the same age were eating and chatting together. They fought over Shen Yu, and Guo Yi, who was familiar with him the most, bumped his arm into him. "Bo Jin, you have been serving His Majesty the longest, what delicacies did His Majesty use?"
Shen Yu put down his chopsticks, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is very simple on weekdays, with three dishes and one soup according to the order, except that there was never any meat dish before Xiaoxiao, but there are some game."
Everyone didn't expect to hear such words, and they praised the emperor's simplicity, and the officials who made fun of Wu Junyi at first stood up and saluted, apologizing for the words just now.
They sat in the back, and they couldn't see what happened from a distance. Wu Junyi cast a questioning look, but Shen Yu smiled and said nothing.
He wanted everyone to know that Xi Zhi was good.
