Chapter 374: Worthy of Enjoying the Ancestral Temple
Qian means modesty, low-key, noble character, and also means humility.
This is his eldest son. Because he is not the eldest son, and because of his mother's identity, unless Zhao Xing has no other heirs, he will definitely have no chance of being crowned emperor.
Therefore, Zhao Xing doesn't like how smart he is and just hopes that he can grow up safely.
As long as you don't become a dude, being mediocre is a good thing.
Li Yunchu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"
She didn't care about Zhao Xing's attitude towards her before. The reason why her attitude changed was entirely because she heard the maid in the palace say that princesses usually stay with their biological mothers and wait until they are ten years old before they live separately.
Princes usually separate from their biological mothers after they are three or four years old, and it is difficult to meet them.
For Li Yunchu, she had no choice in getting married. If there were no children and she would die alone, she would not feel anything.
But after she has a child, she cannot accept it at any cost if she is separated from her child.
It was precisely because of this that her attitude towards Zhao Xing changed.
"I named my son, why do I need to say thank you?"
Zhao Xing played with his son for a while. When he saw that the little boy was yawning and feeling sleepy, he handed it over to Zhi Hua.
Zhihua took it and coaxed it, and the little guy fell asleep.
Zhihua apologized and carried the little guy to the inner room.
"I'm leaving first." Zhao Xing stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark now. You haven't eaten yet? Why don't you stay and eat before leaving?" Li Yunchu looked at Zhao Xing expectantly.
Zhao Xing wanted to refuse, but seeing the expectation in Li Yunchu's eyes, he hesitated and nodded.
When Li Yunchu saw Zhao Xing nodding, he happily ordered the palace maid to pass on the meal.
When the food was served, Li Yunchu invited Zhao Xing to eat in the dining room.
After Zhao Xing sat down, she sat down next to him and served Zhao Xing.
"These dishes were prepared according to His Majesty's taste by my concubine, who notified the Imperial Kitchen." Li Yunchu said.
"I can just come by myself. You can sit down and eat with me." Zhao Xing said.
He was really not used to Li Yunchu being like this.
"Yes!" Li Yunchu stuttered after hearing this.
"By the way, the Xixia envoys will arrive in Bianjing in a few days. At that time, they may ask to enter the palace to see you. I will talk to the queen and allow them to enter the palace to see you." Zhao Xing said.
"No need."
Li Yunchu shook his head and said: "Since I came to the Song Dynasty to get married, I have no family members. From now on, I will only be the virtuous concubine of the Song Dynasty!"
"Oh?"
Zhao Xing was a little surprised when he heard this and asked deliberately: "Even if I destroy Xixia in the future, you don't care?"
Li Yunchu looked very calm when he heard this, and said: "I am just a woman. I can't influence your majesty, nor can I affect the rise and fall of Xixia. If one day, Xixia is destroyed by the Song Dynasty, it means that Xixia has exhausted its strength."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Zhao Xing looked back and said, "Let's eat."
Next, the two of them finished their meal quietly without saying anything else.
After Zhao Xing drank the tea, he stood up and said: "I'm leaving!"
When Li Yunchu heard this, he took the cloak from the hands of the palace maid, tied it up for Zhao Xing a little awkwardly, leaned forward and said: "I respectfully present it to your majesty!"
"The etiquette of the Song Dynasty was quite standardized, but you still need to learn more about serving people."
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he laughed and walked out.
"Empress, why don't you let Your Majesty stay here for the night?"
Zhihua heard the noise and came out of the inner room. Seeing that Zhao Xing had left, he asked hurriedly. "His Majesty just told me to learn how to serve others, which means that Your Majesty will come back in the future." Li Yunchu said.
"Did your Majesty and your Majesty talk about leaving His Majesty here?" Zhihua asked.
Li Yunchu shook his head and said: "If I mention it deliberately, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion. As long as His Majesty changes his view of me, it will be fine if we, mother and son, are allowed to see each other from time to time in the future."
"Empress!" Zhihua said anxiously: "The Empress is in charge of this harem. If you..."
"Shut up!"
Li Yunchu glanced at Zhi Hua indifferently and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly now. How can you discuss the Queen?"
"I realize my mistake!" Zhihua quickly lowered his head and said.
"Forget it this time. If you dare to talk nonsense next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
…………
The next day, Zhao Xing came out of Shulan Palace refreshed and went to Daqing Palace to attend the morning court.
After all the officials paid their respects, the Minister of Honglu Temple came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Xixia envoys will arrive in Bianjing tomorrow. This is the reception schedule drawn up by me. Please take a look at it!"
"I won't read the charter. Aiqing can go out of the city to greet you tomorrow. Xixia has never made it clear what their purpose is during this mission. Let's see what their purpose is first." Zhao Xing said.
"Your Majesty, officials from the Ministry of Rites should be involved in welcoming the envoys," said the Minister of Honglu Temple.
"What? Aiqing doesn't know how to greet envoys, so why should the Ministry of Rites send someone to give you guidance?" Zhao Xing said calmly.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. This is etiquette."
"What's wrong with etiquette? You, a third-rank official, are you rude when you go to greet me? That's it." Zhao Xing said.
This time it was Liang Yimi who was on the mission again. Zhao Xingke still remembered that he stared at Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang last time and asked for them.
For someone who misses his woman, Zhao Xing would be merciful if he didn't kill him. How could he send someone to greet him with great fanfare?
Moreover, Xixia sent envoys here this time, mostly because of the Hehuang matter, let alone give them a good look.
"I obey the order!" The minister of Honglu Temple could only bow and return to the queue.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Jin came out and said: "I am old and lack of energy. I am really unable to continue serving the court and Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to resign and be honored!"
As soon as Li Jin said this, everyone in the court was shocked.
If we talk about age, in ancient times when people knew destiny in their fifties, Li Jin was already in his early sixties, which was indeed considered old.
However, Li Jin was in good health, and there were many officials in the court who were older than him.
Generally speaking, unless officials have made any mistakes, they will work until their health can no longer bear it before resigning.
After all, they still have to pave the way for their own heirs, so how can they resign so easily.
Zhao Xing pretended to be reluctant and said: "Aiqing has been worrying about the court for many years, and has worked hard and achieved great results. Not long after I came to the throne, it was the time when I needed the help of veterans like Aiqing. However, Aiqing had submitted a letter to resign before, and I did not agree. Now since Aiqing has If you resign again, I can’t force you to stay with me any longer.”
"In the draft of the decree, Li Jin, the envoy of the Privy Council, has been an official for many years. He is loyal to the emperor and the country. He is the pillar of the country and a minister of the country. He is granted the title of Grand Master and a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace. He is worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
Guanwen Hall, as the name suggests, is the place where the emperor read and studied.
There were bachelors and bachelors, who were able to answer the emperor's questions and were equivalent to teachers, but they did not have names as teachers. The bachelor's degree is a fictitious one, while the bachelor's degree is a permanent one.
The title of Grand Master is also a false position. Generally, those who become official at the level of Xianggong will be granted the title of Grand Master or Taifu.
To be worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple is just to listen to it.
Moreover, Zhao Xingfeng had to wait until his death before Li Jin's tablet could enter the Ancestral Temple.
