Chapter 241 Poor Prince Jing
Zhu Zaijing didn’t have much objection to Emperor Jiajing’s transfer of personnel arrangements in Shunyi Industrial Park.
After all, his life was given by Emperor Jiajing when he was growing up. How could he be selfish in front of Emperor Jiajing?
Furthermore, Emperor Jiajing only transferred one person to the Department of Ceremonies, which was also a happy event for Zhu Zaijing.
Because if you look at this matter from another angle, it is because Zhu Zaijing was right and allowed his slaves to gain the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, so that they soared into the sky and became the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony. .
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing had no reason to refuse such a favor.
In this regard, Zhu Zaijing could only thank the Lord for his kindness. At the same time, he did not forget to encourage Chen Hong to serve as the Supervisor of Ceremonies and to act faithfully after arriving at the imperial court. He should treat His Majesty’s thoughts as his own thoughts and His Majesty’s thoughts as his own. My own thoughts must be considered for His Majesty's sake in everything.
Finally, Chen Hong thanked Zhu Zaijing happily, and then went to the Secretary of Ceremonies to report.
Looking at Feng Bao who was assigned, Zhu Zaijing did not go to see him again. He directly asked Meng Chong and Teng Xiang to take him to familiarize himself with the environment and integrate into the work as soon as possible. If he could not keep up, Rhythm, then change people.
So under such severe psychological oppression, Feng Bao felt extremely wronged.
He didn't even know what he had done wrong, why he was sent here by His Majesty the Emperor.
Although this is also a place where everyone is fighting for success, compared with the Supervisor of Ceremonies, what does this place mean?
Unfortunately, no one would explain anything to him.
Especially his godfather Huang Jin didn't explain anything to him anymore, he just asked him to do things with peace of mind and not think about anything else.
The beginning of autumn.
Autumn in the north is still relatively hot, especially at the turn of summer and autumn, the power is particularly strong.
So this kind of weather is also called "autumn tiger", which means that the weather in early autumn is as overbearing as a tiger, making people feel afraid of the hot and stuffy weather.
However, this kind of autumn weather does not happen every year.
In some years, there may not be the returning summer weather like Qiuhu, just like in the capital now.
Although the weather on the day of Beginning of Autumn has not changed much compared to previous summers, the coolness unique to autumn still spreads out inadvertently.
For example, in the early morning, even in the early morning in summer, it is still very hot. However, after the beginning of autumn, the weather in the early morning becomes a bit cooler, without the unpleasant feeling in summer.
People from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites and Shuntian Prefecture gathered lively in the southern suburbs of the capital, preparing for the ceremony to start the expansion of the capital.
Yan Shifan, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, known as the elder of the small cabinet, is also among them.
Although he is not an official of the Ministry of Industry or the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, he still stands at the top of the list of people.
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw this scene, they acted as if they had not seen it. After all, they were only here to help guide the etiquette process.
The people who are really responsible for presiding over this ceremony are the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Mansion. Since they have no objections, they will naturally not say anything more and just run their own errands with peace of mind.
Yan Shifan looked at the auspicious time and asked Ouyang Bijin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry on the side: "Go and urge Prince Jing to come quickly, otherwise the auspicious time will be delayed."
Ouyang Bijin felt unhappy being manipulated by Yan Shifan like this, but the situation was stronger than the person. Who made Yan Shifan Yan Song's eldest son?
Although his family and Yan Song are somewhat related to each other, in real terms, this kind of relationship seems to be a bit remote and a bit far away.
And what’s going on now is the important affairs of the court, so how can he have time to discuss the arrangement of seats among relatives?
Their first task now is to successfully complete today's opening ceremony, and other things can be put aside first.
So Ouyang Bijin didn't pay attention to Yan Shifan's orders. Ouyang Bijin replied: "I'm already urging you. Prince Jing should be here soon."
But Yan Shifan was anxious. He said: "If we continue to urge him, there are only two quarters of an hour left in this auspicious time. We cannot delay it." Ouyang Bijin had no choice but to continue sending people to urge him.
After about a cup of tea, when Yan Shifan and others were getting angry, the boy from the Ministry of Industry who went to deliver the message ran and shouted towards Yan Shifan Come over to their location.
"The prince is here! The prince is here!"
For a time, everyone stood in their positions and respectfully waited for the arrival of the prince.
Yan Shifan, Ouyang Bijin, Minister of Industry, Ouyang De, Minister of Rites, Yin Wang Youzhao of Shuntian Prefecture, and other four people stood in a row and waited for King Jing to arrive.
Soon a group of princes' ceremonial guards appeared from the south gate of the capital in a mighty manner, and went directly to the ceremony where the construction of the capital's expansion, built by the Ministry of Works and Shuntian Prefecture, and purchased with the help of the Ministry of Rites, was held.
When the prince's ceremonial guard arrived, Yan Shifan and others bowed in unison: "I respectfully welcome the prince."
At this time, the prince's honor guard, which had stopped, also arrived in front of Yan Shifan and others.
I heard only one voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
A tall figure poked his head out of the carriage inside the guard of honor.
After Yan Shifan and others saw the person coming clearly, they all showed a look of astonishment.
“Prince Yu?!”
Yan Shifan felt that he didn't have enough brain power. Why did Prince Yu come here?
Where is Prince Jing?
Zhu Zaijing looked at the astonished Yan Shifan and everyone, and he also showed a helpless expression.
Zhu Zaijing said: "This morning, a message was sent to the palace saying that King Jing's brother was not in good health and could not make the trip. Your Majesty also knew that today was an important moment for the expansion of the capital, so he issued a temporary decree , let me come to complete the ceremony on behalf of King Jing. I hope you will cooperate."
Yan Shifan and others did not dare to question anything after hearing Zhu Zaijing's words.
Everyone first worriedly asked about King Jing's situation, and then followed the established etiquette process and invited Zhu Zaijing to come to the sacrificial site in person. As the officiant for the start of the construction, he would worship the gods of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, inform the capital of the important events of the expansion, and hope that With the blessing of the gods of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, let the newly expanded outer city of the capital be immortal for thousands of years and become Jin Ou forever!
After completing the ceremony, Zhu Zaijing did not continue to be conspicuous here, and directly ordered Meng Chong to greet his prince's guard of honor and return to his palace.
But the news that King Yu was officiating on behalf of King Jing was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading throughout the capital.
Everyone couldn't help but guess what happened to King Jing, and at the same time, they also speculated whether King Yu would directly become the biggest winner.
However, these conjectures and what is going on in people's hearts are not within the scope of Zhu Zaijing's consideration.
Now it is estimated that the most unhappy person is only Yan Shifan, and the most angry person is only Emperor Jiajing.
Because the sudden problem of King Jing Zhu Zaizhen this time is really not a small problem.
This guy is not in good health, but he always likes to go to class. Now he has just ruined himself. The whole hospital is in a state of panic. I don’t know how many old doctors have been sent out to panic. He went to Prince Jing’s Mansion for treatment.
In the Wanshou Palace, Emperor Jiajing's face was extremely ugly. His face turned green when he listened to the report from the imperial doctor who came back from Prince Jing's Mansion.
Emperor Jiajing said bitterly: "I usually ask him to learn more from San'er to exercise, but he is reluctant to do it. He has been assigned four female training officers, but he has been obsessed with it and he doesn't even know how to control it. It’s really embarrassing that I’ve hurt my vitality. It’s been decreed that this matter must not be spread outside, but anyone who dares to talk about King Jing’s illness will be killed without mercy.”
Then Emperor Jiajing looked up at the sky helplessly and said, "Huang Jin, the fourth son's wedding date should be pushed back two years. Next year, let's just prepare for the third son's wedding."
Huang Jin Listening to Emperor Jiajing's helpless voice, he also whispered back: "Yes, I have remembered it."
Then Emperor Jiajing said to Huang Jin uneasily: "Go to Prince Jing's Mansion again and have a look , let’s see what’s going on with this fourth son? By the way, call back all the female relatives and maids in his house, so that he can take good care of himself and stop being indulged in womanizing.”
