Chapter 517: The style of supervising the country
The news that His Majesty the Emperor was going into seclusion and that Prince Yu was taking charge of the government was like a whirlwind, spreading throughout the capital in an instant.
Qingliu or other officials who were a little reserved in the past and didn't know why they came to Prince Yu's Mansion to meet them are now trying to find ways to look familiar to Prince Yu's Mansion.
But it is a pity that Zhu Zaijing does not meet everyone.
Therefore, these speculators wanted to improvise at this time, and Zhu Zaijing naturally kept his distance as always.
After all, Emperor Jiajing was just in seclusion, not dead!
If when he sees that Zhu Zaijing is so "enthusiastic" by the officials, he gets excited and goes into seclusion, then it will not only be these temporary Qingliu officials who will be unlucky, but maybe even Zhu Zaijing will be unlucky. Being involved.
Therefore, it is better to stay calm at this time.
Therefore, in the past few days, Zhu Zaijing also left the palace for an excuse and went to the manor in the north of the city to visit his concubine Qi Muge.
After staying in the north of the city for a few days, I also avoided the temporary storm in front of me.
Qi Muge was lying in Zhu Zaijing's arms. She looked up at Zhu Zaijing's chin, and finally couldn't help but reach out to grab the mustache that Zhu Zaijing had just grown.
"My lord, why do you think of growing a beard?"
Qi Muge touched the mustache on Zhu Zaijing's chin and couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Maybe my habits have changed. How about it? Isn't my mustache nice?"
Qi Muge pursed his lips and smiled: "It looks good, but it looks a bit old-fashioned."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Are you old-fashioned? Isn't this a sign of maturity?"
Qi Muge said: "The prince is still so young, wouldn't growing a beard ruin the prince's handsome appearance?"
Zhu Zaijing said: "According to Han people's rules, a man can no longer be regarded as a child after he reaches the age of twenty and a crown, and he should grow a beard to show his prudent demeanor as an adult. I am different from ordinary people. The crowning ceremony was carried out before the age of fifteen.”
"So from that time on, I was considered an adult. Now more than ten years have passed, and I am already in my twenties. I should have a stable temperament that makes the officials feel convinced. Therefore, this beard is also An essential mark.”
"And in our Han culture, there are only two types of men without beards, one is the child who has not grown up, and the other is the father-in-law in the palace. Therefore, after reaching a certain age, you should grow some Then trim your beard and look like an adult.”
"Do you think I look very different now than before?"
Qi Muge nodded in Zhu Zaijing's arms. In fact, she also liked the way Zhu Zaijing had a beard now. After all, whether it was in the current Han culture or the Mongolian culture where she was originally, Beards have always been a symbol of male confidence.
In addition to their prominent status, many brave men also have beautifully groomed beards. Therefore, in this cultural trend, both men and women believe that men should be beautiful with beards.
Of course, this kind of beard is not the kind of long, sloppy beard, but a beard that must be carefully taken care of to make it look stylish and lively.
Otherwise, even if some people grow beards, they may not be considered beautiful.
Zhu Zaijing hugged Qi Muge, who wanted to touch his mustache again, "Okay, let's not talk about the beard. It's time for us to do some serious things. Otherwise, it would be boring to just lie here like this."
Qi Muge looked at Zhu Zaijing doubtfully, "What business do we have?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and pinched Qi Muge's nose, "Have you forgotten what you said before? It's time for us to have an heir. Now is the time to work hard. Otherwise, how can we just sit and wait like this?" Is there an heir coming?”
Zhu Zaijing's words immediately made Qi Muge's pretty face heat up, and he couldn't help but said in disgust: "Your Majesty, it's daytime now."
Zhu Zaijing said indifferently: "What's wrong during the day? You can only see clearly during the day. And it's not like we haven't done this before during the day."
After saying that, Zhu Zaijing took action.
Soon Qi Muge couldn't resist Zhu Zaijing's invasion, and his whole body went from a tense state to a limp state.
Then
(Ten thousand words are omitted here)
Zhu Zaijing got up from Qi Muge with satisfaction, and then looked at Qi Muge's flushed cheeks.
Zhu Zaijing then said: "Move back to the palace, I will keep your small courtyard alone for you."
When Qi Muge heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he couldn't help but asked, "Is this really okay, my concubine?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "What's not allowed? If you want to come and stay here, you can always bring someone to stay here. You don't have to ask me for instructions, and you don't have to explain anything to the princess. This is my king The freedom promised to you.”
Qimuge was immediately moved to tears. She had gained a lot of freedom by living alone in the manor in the north of the city over the years, but she had also lost a lot of care and love.
Zhu Zaijing could not come here to see her from time to time, so she and Zhu Zaijing only met several times throughout the year.
So sometimes she also wonders if she can go back to live, but she can't say these words. After all, when she left the palace, there was not much hesitation and hesitation.
Now that Zhu Zaijing has taken the initiative, she must be very willing in her heart.
Qi Muge immediately stood up and hugged Zhu Zaijing. She was not afraid that her beauty would be exposed. She said excitedly: "I thank you for your love."
Zhu Zaijing also hugged Qi Muge, stroked her pink back with one hand, and said: "After I go back, I will have enough time to help you give birth to a little prince or princess, so I will wait until I get back." After entering the palace, you must serve me well and make me feel comfortable, and your wish will come true.”
Qi Muge couldn't help but blush even more when he heard these words.
She whispered: "Whatever the prince wants me to do, I can do it."
When Zhu Zaijing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
Qi Muge is different from other women in the palace. She has a bit of natural wildness, and she is more bold and proactive. More importantly, her body is also extremely well-trained. Not only is she very powerful, but she is also very capable. Firm.
So sometimes Zhu Zaijing also reminisces about the time he spent with Qi Muge. The feeling is like a sudden barbecue after being accustomed to homely meals. It's really enjoyable!
So after staying at the manor in the north of the city for a few days, Zhu Zaijing returned to the palace with Qi Muge.
Not long after Zhu Zaijing returned home, Xiyuan sent an imperial edict.
The main idea of this imperial edict is that Emperor Jiajing will retreat to the Mysterious Soul for seven or forty-nine days. During these forty-nine days, King Yu will make decisions with the cabinet on all major military and state affairs. At the same time, he also ordered Zhu Zaijing to move to the Wenhua Palace to take photos. State affairs. After Zhu Zaijing received this imperial edict, he was a little confused and surprised.
It is said that Emperor Jiajing went into seclusion for seventy-seven forty-nine days, allowing him to temporarily play his true role in supervising the country. He also felt that this was nothing serious.
Anyway, in the past few years, I have been studying government affairs in Prince Yu's Mansion under the title of "supervisor of the country" by reading the memorials sent by the Secretary of Rites and the Secretary of General Affairs.
But now Emperor Jiajing actually asked him to move to Wenhua Palace, which exceeded Zhu Zaijing's expectations.
You must know that Wenhua Palace is not an ordinary palace, it is a palace with special significance.
During the transitional period from Tianshun to Chenghua years, Wenhua Palace was the regent's palace before the crown prince ascended the throne.
Now Emperor Jiajing actually asked Zhu Zaijing to serve as regent and superintendent of the country in the Wenhua Palace until the end of his seventy-seven and forty-nine days of seclusion. This seems unreal no matter how you look at it.
Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but look up at Huang Jin who was delivering the order, "Did my father-in-law read it wrong? How could it be Wenhua Palace?"
Huang Jin helped Zhu Zaijing stand up with a smile, and said in a very friendly tone: "Your Majesty read it right, it is the Wenhua Palace. The emperor's retreat is not a trivial matter, and in order for the prince to be able to frighten the ministers and perform the duties of supervising the country properly, It is the responsibility of the regent, so we chose Wenhua Palace.”
Zhu Zaijing said: "But, that is the Wenhua Palace. How can I, the king, live in the Wenhua Palace to supervise the regency of the country? Why don't you go back and talk to your majesty about it? Let's find another place."

Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty has started fasting and bathing today. He no longer has any foreign ministers, including slaves. Therefore, the prince does not have any burden. Tomorrow you will go to the Wenhua Palace to supervise the country and accept the cabinet and officials. Congratulations.”
When Zhu Zaijing heard this, although he was still a little uneasy, he finally accepted it.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Then I have accepted the order. If my father-in-law sees your majesty's beauty during his retreat, he must bring my sincere words to you and supervise the regent of the country in the Wenhua Palace. I will Wang finally felt a little guilty and uneasy.”
Huang Jin continued: "Your Majesty, just relax. If the emperor summons the slave during the retreat, the slave will definitely bring your words to you."
After hearing this, Zhu Zaijing breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it is not impossible to go to Wenhua Palace to supervise the country, but it also depends on the situation.
For example, Emperor Jiajing is now terminally ill and can no longer take care of himself. Zhu Zaijing can naturally go to the Wenhua Palace to serve as regent and supervise the country and wait for the final transition of power.
But the current Emperor Jiajing is obviously not a person who is about to die. He just went to retreat for a period of time, but he arranged Zhu Zaijing into the Wenhua Hall, which really made Zhu Zaijing feel a little uneasy.
After all, in the fifteenth year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing made an explanation and adjustment to the political attributes of Wenhua Hall.
At that time, Emperor Jiajing adjusted the political attributes of the Wenhua Palace on the grounds that "the prince is young and not suitable for regency." Therefore, the Wenhua Palace was changed to the political function that had been established during the Yongle period, that is, the Emperor's Side Palace.
After that, some time later, the Wenhua Hall was changed by Emperor Jiajing into a place where the emperor held "Sutra Banquets". Then the green glazed roof on the top of the hall was also changed to the emperor's exclusive yellow glazed roof.
Now that Zhu Zaijing is allowed to exercise the power of supervising and regenting the country in a palace with such high standards, how can this not make people panic and speculate?
At the same time, the news that Zhu Zaijing was also arranged to supervise the regency in the Wenhua Palace also spread in the capital.
All the officials in Beijing, whether they are cabinet ministers or small officials in the government, are also discussing this matter.
Among the caliber of these discussions, there is only one core idea, that is, His Majesty the Emperor wants to become an immortal? Is he going to take the Zen position?
However, since ancient times, we have only heard of someone becoming an immortal, but not of someone actually becoming an immortal, and not many emperors in the Zen position had a good ending.
Therefore, this argument was quickly rejected. However, after denying this argument, everyone was confused and did not know how to interpret this unusual political signal.
But one thing they can be sure of is that King Yu's status is completely stable. Even if he does not have the title of prince, he now has the actual status of prince.
Therefore, some people can't help but speculate that this may be the emperor's attitude to express his position as Prince Yu.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor believes in the prophecy that "two dragons will never meet", which is also known to everyone in the world.
Since the emperor is unwilling to hold a crown prince canonization ceremony and wants to determine the future heir, then it is undoubtedly the best way to let Prince Yu serve as regent of the country in Wenhua Hall, a palace that symbolizes the power of the crown prince. Good announcement!
So at this moment, some people couldn't help but feel excited, as they seemed to see the light of day.
I think a new era is about to open a new chapter!
Early on the next morning, Zhu Zaijing changed into a more serious prince's uniform, with a gold and jade belt tied around his waist, and a prince-sized black winged crown on his head, and then led the way in the royal palace's guard of honor. Next, from the Wang Mansion to the front of Wenhua Hall.
At this time, all the officials have arrived one after another. They also want to go to the Wenhua Palace as soon as possible to pay homage to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, who oversees the country and is the regent.
Zhu Zaijing sat on the shoulder chair and looked at the two rows of officials standing in the square in front of the Wenhua Palace. He felt inexplicably emotional in his heart. He did not expect that he would have to face the officials of the Ming Dynasty to pay their respects so soon. .
Because in his imagination, if he wanted to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials, he would have to wait until Emperor Jiajing was about to die.
But now that Emperor Jiajing is just in seclusion, he has been pushed to the forefront. It is really hard to figure out what this extremely smart emperor is thinking in his heart?
Is this fishing again?
But if you always fish like this, what effect will it have?
So when Zhu Zaijing looked at the officials waiting eagerly, he finally calmed down.
Now that you've come, let's make peace with it.
We’ve already arrived at the Wenhua Palace anyway, so we can’t be cowardly about going back, right?
If so, how can we establish prestige in the future?
Zhu Zaijing, who was sitting on the shoulder carriage, raised his hand slightly. The royal guards carrying the shoulder carriage and the guard of honor at the front and rear stood frozen in place as if they had been enchanted.
Zhu Zaijing pressed his hand down again, and the Jin Yiwei who was carrying the shoulder carriage immediately put the shoulder carriage on the ground and lowered the front, so that Zhu Zaijing could get down from the front of the shoulder carriage more easily and conveniently.
At this time, the officials saw that Zhu Zaijing was about to get off the carriage, and they also moved one after another. Under the leadership of the cabinet and the six ministers, everyone bowed to welcome Zhu Zaijing's arrival.
It seems that Zhu Zaijing is their god at this moment!
