According to the rules of the royal family, on New Year's Eve, the prince entered the palace early in the morning and waited in the Nuan Pavilion. He waited for the emperor to lead the queen and concubines to pay homage to the queen mother, and then they had lunch together in the "Yongde Palace".
After lunch, the Queen Mother went back to the palace to take a nap, the Emperor took a test on the prince's homework for the year, and the concubines went to the Imperial Garden to take a nap and enjoy the snow.
After sunset, the royal family banquet officially began.
Because Emperor Zhengde had no heirs, there was no need to test the talents of the emperor's disciples, and it became common for Emperor Zhengde and his uncle to chat and discuss state affairs.
???????????? In fact, on New Year¡¯s Eve, all the ministers have a holiday, and there are no more state affairs to deal with, it¡¯s just to kill time.
This year, Lin Li arrived at Nuan Pavilion early in the morning, but found that there was someone who had arrived earlier than him, and that was King Pingnan.
As a branch of the royal family, King Pingnan is not eligible to participate in the royal family banquet, but this year is special.
Years ago, Pingnan¡¯s palace was robbed, and the prince sent a letter to the court to arrest the embroidery thief.
Later, when Jin Jiuling was arrested, King Pingnan went to the capital to express his gratitude. When Emperor Zhengde saw that the new year was approaching, he invited him to stay in the capital and attend a family banquet together.
Since there were not many heirs in the royal family, only the iron gall god Hou Zhuwu and Xing Wang Zhu Youji attended the family banquet every year.
Emperor Zhengde reported to the Queen Mother and agreed to make an exception to allow King Pingnan to attend the family banquet.
This year, the Queen Mother also allowed each prince to bring his concubine and prince to attend the family banquet together.
Lin Li knew what the Queen Mother was thinking. She wanted to take the opportunity of the family banquet to examine Prince Xing's talents and appearance, so as to prepare for Zhengde's adopted heir.
There were not many brothers in Emperor Hongzhi's lineage. They passed away one after another in recent years, leaving no heirs, and the feudal kingdom was eliminated.
Tiedan Shenhou is not married yet. He only has the Xingwang bloodline, which is the closest to the royal bloodline.
King Xing¡¯s lineage was actually not prosperous in terms of heirs, but he still had a son. The eldest son died young, and King Xing made his second son Zhu Houcong the heir apparent.
??That is, the later Emperor Jiajing.
It¡¯s just that Emperor Jiajing was still a child under ten years old at this time. This time he came to the capital from Huguang, spanning thousands of miles. When he arrived in the capital, he fell ill. He has not recovered yet and cannot attend the family banquet.
Prince Pingnan also did not attend the family banquet due to illness. As a result, only Lin Li, King Xing and King Pingnan were left at the family banquet.
Even if you want to play mahjong, you can¡¯t even play mahjong. This shows how poor this generation of emperors is!
It was almost noon when Emperor Zhengde took the Queen Mother and the Empress to the "Yongde Hall".
The concubines in the harem were not able to attend the lunch meal, and the number of people was small, so everyone sat around the same table to eat, which was quite a festive atmosphere.
If it weren¡¯t for the addition of King Pingnan this year, there would only be five people at one table.
After King Xing took his seat, he saw the empty stools and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the number of people at the family banquet was getting smaller every year. If the fourth and fifth brothers were alive, it would be great for our family to be reunited!"
When the Queen Mother heard what King Xing said, she was slightly touched, but Emperor Zhengde didn't take it seriously, and even felt that King Xing was celebrating the New Year and always said things that were harmful!
Lin Li and King Heping Nan had been sitting next to him, ignoring King Xing, knowing that he was trying to increase his presence!
Because of the vassal system, every prince who becomes a vassal must leave the capital. Without the emperor's permission, he is not allowed to leave the territory of the vassal country, which is equivalent to being imprisoned.
"If the prince is moved to a wealthy place, it can be said that he will be more comfortable "in jail".
"It's a pity that many years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all the good places were divided up long ago. When it fell to King Xing, only the land of Huguang was left.
At this time, Huguang is not a good place, it can be said to be barren.
King Xing was naturally not happy. He had long been concerned about the prosperity of the capital, especially since Lin Li, the "brother", had been staying in the capital. It was strange that his younger brother could be convinced.
It¡¯s just that Tiedan Shenhou was able to stay in the capital because Zhu Wuwu gave up his identity as a prince, and because of his outstanding abilities, he was assisted by the late emperor¡¯s decree.
Although King Xing was an uncle of the emperor, he was ignorant and had no talent. In addition, his mother-in-law's family had little power, so he became a feudal lord early.
Almost every year at the family banquet, King Xing would take the opportunity to bring up old matters again, intentionally or unintentionally wanting to stay in the capital for retirement!
Although Zhengde is a man of low profile, he still values ??the throne very much. If Lin Li hadn't never married, and he was holding on to the late emperor's will to Shang Fang's sword, he would have wanted to send the "Iron Gallant God Marquis" away!
How could he let King Xing return to the capital and be an eyesore!
So King Xing was acting coquettishly, but Zhengde never showed any expression.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??The Queen Mother really wants King Xing to stay. It would be best if she could have more sons in the capital and more candidates for Zhengde's adoption.
??It can be seen from this that the Queen Mother has average abilities and is not as sensitive to politics as her son's moral integrity!
"A few days ago, the Marquis Shen asked to marry the daughter of the people Gongsun. I have already discussed this matter with the Queen Mother. I feel that this matter is inappropriate and I hope the Emperor will think again!" Zhengde took the initiative to change the subject, not wanting King Xing to continue to act.
Lin Li frowned when he heard what Zhengde said.
"Gongsun's family background is indeed low, and he is not worthy of the royal family!" The Queen Mother, who listened to Zhengde, also began to persuade Lin Li:
"Ignore it, as you are the emperor's uncle, you must be careful when choosing this wife. I see that there are many young ladies in the families of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who are good matches. Why don't you choose one of them and make her the principal concubine. As for Gongsun, do Just a concubine!"
The meaning of Zhengde and the Queen Mother was very clear. Lin Li could marry Gongsun Lan, but not as a wife, only as a concubine!
"I am in love with Miss Gongsun. I will not marry anyone but her in this life. Even if I have three thousand pieces of water, I can only take one scoop!"
"If the Queen Mother feels that Miss Gongsun's status is low, why don't I find a minister to adopt Miss Gongsun as a righteous daughter!" "
Lin Li's attitude was surprisingly firm, which made the Queen Mother slightly unhappy.
"Ignore it. Twenty years ago, you insisted on marrying that commoner girl Su Xin, but the late emperor opposed it. Now you want to marry the Gongsun family. Isn't there a minister in the Manchu Dynasty and so many ladies from the world who can catch your eye? "
At this time, King Xing also said sarcastically: "Second brother, as a descendant of the royal family, you have the responsibility to contribute to the royal family. It is not right that you have not been married for so many years. Why do you still want to marry a commoner girl as your main wife? It is not shameful enough." The royal dignity?"
When Emperor Zhengde heard what King Xing said, especially the phrase "the branches and leaves spread out", he felt a little unhappy in his heart and slightly unhappy on his face.
Lin Li said at this time: "As long as I can marry the Gongsun family, I am willing to give up my royal status. Anyway, I ignored my father's name for me that year, which already explains everything!"
Emperor Zhengde was furious when he heard this and shouted: "Uncle Emperor, are you arranging for Grandpa Emperor?"
Lin Li snorted coldly and said: "I was born lowly, and my mother-in-law was just a palace maid. I have not been taken seriously by my father since I was born. I was not even given a name according to the royal rules. Ignore it. Isn't it dispensable?" Do you mean it?"
The Queen Mother was also angry at this time.
"Ignore it, as the son of a man, how can you criticize the late emperor! I think the emperor usually spoils you too much and makes you disrespectful!"
The Queen Mother¡¯s words were a bit serious. King Pingnan quickly came out to smooth things over and said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please calm down. The Marquis of Shen has no intention of talking nonsense, and he has absolutely no intention of making any arbitrary remarks about Master Cheng Hua!"
Lin Li looked at King Pingnan and said angrily: "We are talking as a family, how can you interrupt!"
King Pingnan¡¯s face froze and he stood there looking embarrassed!
Emperor Zhengde stood up angrily, pointed at Lin Li and said, "Here you come! The Lord of Tie Guan God violated his etiquette and forced him into the heavenly prison to reflect on his past. When did he reflect on his past, when did he come out!"
Lin Li stood up stubbornly and said, "I know the way to Tianlao myself!"
After saying that, Lin Li strode out of the "Yongde Hall" and headed towards the Prison of the Punishment Department!
A family dinner broke up in an unhappy manner in the end!
Zhengde and the Queen Mother returned to the palace angrily, and Prince Xing and Prince Nan did not stay or leave!
It¡¯s just that there is always a slight smile on the corner of King Pingnan¡¯s mouth! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
