467. The Nineteenth of Imperial Capital
Chapter 467
Mrs. He Zijin was confused and had the favor of the Empress Dowager, which made most of the imperial capital city unable to understand how unique Mrs. Jiang had. He Zijin had the green eyes of the Empress Dowager, so he could often get some rewards from the Empress Dowager. In fact, the Empress Dowager's rewards for such foreign ministers have always been sensible, and they are within the appropriate range, and even if they are slightly better, they will not be out of order.
This is already jealous. I don’t expect that since Mrs. Jiang became Mr. Wu of the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun, not only Mrs. Jiang has received rewards, but now her children have also benefited from it.
Everyone may not be jealous of those things. Those who can establish themselves as officials in the imperial capital have at least no shortage of food and clothing. No one is jealous of the things, but they are jealous of the fortune of the Hongjiang family.
It is unnecessary to think about how outsiders know that the Jiang family’s children are rewarded. The Empress Dowager rewarded the granddaughters of the emperors and the Jiang family who benefited from the empress dowager and the concubines in front of a room.
As for the empress dowager, concubines and concubines in the palace, whoever their family is in the imperial capital and are qualified to enter the palace to pay tribute, they can go to the palace to hand in the signs on the 1st and 15th day of every month to meet the empress dowagers in the palace.
This matter cannot be hidden from anyone anymore.
Not only are some people jealous of the good luck of the Hongjiang family, but even the Empress Dowager gave the Emperor's granddaughter what the Emperor's granddaughter gave, it is not a secret matter now in the circle of the powerful people in the imperial capital.
The Empress Dowager has always been good at treating people. She is like a grand princess and Princess Jiachun, two girls living in Ci'en Palace, are common for the Empress Dowager to receive rewards from the Empress Dowager. Even the second princess who are still in her infancy often receives things from the Empress Dowager. Although the second princess is young, she cannot use it, so it is Empress Dowager Su who helps to receive it. In contrast, the royal grandsons do not receive rewards so often, but the Empress Dowager has always been very concerned about the royal grandson.
However, in this way, the rewards and gifts are all valuables, so the well-informed ministers are too concerned.
For example, Empress Dowager Su's father, Duke Su Chengen, went to his third uncle Su Shangshu's house to talk about this matter. Su Chengen was fair, "It's a pity that the second princess is still young, so how much grace is this."
Su Shangshu said, "The Empress Dowager is always generous. She likes girls the most. The second princess is also a legitimate princess. Even if she is young, the Empress Dowager also attaches great importance to it."
Although Su Chengen's rank is high, he can't catch up with his third uncle in terms of official positions. Now the highest official position in the family is the third uncle. Therefore, Su Chengen's rank is discussing everything with the third uncle. Including when the late emperor was seriously ill, his daughter was diagnosed with pregnancy. At that time, the late emperor's illness was already very serious. Some ministers wrote a letter to hinting that the late emperor would first establish a crown prince. But in that case, how could the late emperor, the first emperor, deal with his own self-palm. What's more, at that time, everyone didn't know whether the daughter was a prince or a princess in her womb. She was worried about Su Chengen's till she discussed it with the third uncle, and she didn't know how the third uncle worked, but the late emperor agreed to wait for the queen to give birth before enthronement. Although the queen finally gave birth to a princess, if there were no third uncle at that time, it would be difficult to accomplish. Therefore, today, when Su Chengen heard about the rewards from Ci'en Palace, she came to talk to the third uncle about it.
Su Chengen was fair, "Our Empress is only one princess, and I feel at ease. However, there is one thing that I don't know if I think too much. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager rewarded all the princes and grandchildren. Although everyone's gains are precious things, only the sixth prince from Wei Taizhaoyi received the previous dynasty history books annotated by the Emperor Taizu. Is this thing too precious?"
Su Shangshu pondered for a while before saying, "If you want to say it is precious, there is something more precious than this in the empress. You have thought too much. If you want to say it is precious, it is the pair of dragon and phoenix swords obtained by Your Majesty, which is more precious. It is something that Emperor Fengwu has used. The ancestor emperor is the most respected Emperor Fengwu. The pair of dragon and phoenix swords are the most suitable for the emperor and the empress, and it is also a famous king for the ages. The empress's expectations for Your Majesty are all rewarded by this."
When Su Cheng's benefactor got the words of the third uncle, he felt relieved. If the Empress Dowager rewarded another prince, Su Chengcheng's husband might not have to go to the third uncle specifically. You should know that the sixth prince's biological mother Wei Taizhaoyi was born in the Wei Xiang family. In other words, Wei Xiang is the grandfather of the sixth prince. However, Wei Xiang has always been loyal, so Su Cheng's husband certainly would not speculate on Wei Xiang much.
However, the reward of the Empress Dowager was too precious, and the history books of the previous dynasty annotated by the Emperor of the Ancestral Emperor.
By the way, how did this thing go to Empress Dowager Curry?
Yes, this is the rule for rewarding people in the palace. For example, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress all have their own private treasury. If the concubines are first-class, they are their own private treasury. If anyone wants to reward things, they will come out of their own private treasury or private treasury.
No matter what the reward incident of the Empress Dowager is so thoughtful, people like Su Chengen-en, who have always been honest, think that the Empress Dowager's treasures are extraordinary.
Shangshu Su seemed to see his nephew's thoughts. Shangshu Su smiled and said, "If you don't talk about the honor of the empress for many years, just think about the origin of the empress. These things seem to be rare and precious, or if they are just ordinary things in the empress."
Su Cheng's beloved daughter, thinking about it, and laughed, "That's true." The Xie family of the Empress Dowager's family was a famous family, and what was more prominent was the Empress Dowager's family. The Empress Dowager's mother, Lady Wei, was the beloved daughter of Princess Fusheng and Prince Fang. After Fusheng passed away, all the property was sealed in the royal family, and later they were inherited by this Empress. Princess Fusheng was regent for several years, and the treasures in her mansion can be imagined. In addition, the Empress Dowager married a prince at the time, and was always made by the princess, princesses, princesses, queens, queens, and queens. The rich private houses of Su Cheng's beloved Princess Su Cheng's son felt it was a bit unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Su Chengen Duke felt that the third uncle's words also made sense.
Duke Su Chengen told his third uncle another thing, "These days, Earl Cao invited me to drink."
When Shangshu Su heard the three words "Earl Cao", he couldn't help but sneer, "When Empress Cao built the Shoukang Palace more than the Ci'en Palace and Yongshou Palace, the Cao family was afraid that no one would invite you to drink."
Mr. Su Chengen also looked down on the Cao family, but who made him now sit on the throne and be the grandson of the Cao family? Mr. Su Chengen was fair, "I don't know what Earl Cao means, but our Empress has always been gentle and has the intention to speak for Empress Cao, and everything depends on the Empress Dowager's wishes."
Shangshu Su snorted coldly, "You are telling the truth. The Cao family may not necessarily win your affection. Empress Cao doesn't even take the Empress Dowager seriously, so how can we take our Empress Dowager seriously? Don't think that the Cao family is His Majesty's outer family. Think about the Hu family back then, and the Hu family was also the Emperor Taizong's outer family. How are they now? We are originally a scholarly family, and all their children established themselves with the imperial examinations. Is it not that I look down on the Cao family, which is a family that has a sudden outbreak. Most of the imperial capital are people from poor families. Is the Zhongyong Bo not from poor families? The late emperor promised him to love his daughter. A Bing's husband's Jiang family is also from poor families, and the children in the family are quite motivated, and they are also respectful. But these people who do not know how to advance and retreat are not annoying!"
Duke Su Chengen sighed, "Isn't that the case? Everyone is just for the sake of His Majesty."
Shangshu Su said, "What others think is not related to our family. People are most afraid of being swaying. When your grandfather was alive, he said that when he didn't know what to choose, he would never make mistakes in choosing righteousness."
When Mr. Su Chengen thought about his grandfather's words carefully, he suddenly realized that it had a profound meaning.
For example, because Empress Dowager Su in the palace only had a princess, even if the Empress Dowager rewarded the second princess more generously, the Su family had no worries except being flattered. After all, no matter whether Empress Dowager Su had a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's relationship with the Empress Dowager over the years, or the relationship between the Su family and the Empress Dowager, even the Empress Dowager's gift was a little favorable, both Empress Dowager Su and the Second Princess could bear it.
But, other families are different.
For example, the second prince's mother's family, and the family of the Concubine Qi's mother is a branch of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Although it is a branch of the Duke of Qi, the relationship is also very close. Concubine Su's grandfather and the current Duke of Qi are legitimate brothers, but the title was attacked by Duke of Qi, so the second master of Qi naturally became a branch of the branch.
The grandmother of Concubine Qi Er, the second old lady of Concubine Qi, took Concubine Qi's mother and wife, and asked the wife of Duke Qi to talk about this matter. The second old lady of Concubine Qi said, "Sister-in-law, I want to say this. Maybe I am a little petty, sister-in-law should not laugh at me. I don't care about that little thing. Speaking of which, although we are the family of the second emperor grandson, the Empress Dowager is the real grandmother. The Empress Dowager has always loved the second emperor grandson. The only names of the two emperor grandsons were chosen by the Empress Dowager himself. This time, I feel that the Empress Dowager gave the Six Emperors grandsons generously."
The Duke of Qi obviously knew about this. Seeing that both the second old lady Qi and the second wife Qi looked puzzled, the Duke of Qi said, "What our second emperor has obtained is a copybook used by the late emperor when he was practicing calligraphy. Isn't it good?"
"There is no bad thing given by the Empress Dowager." Mrs. Qi whispered, "It's not that I'm thick-skinned. In front of the Empress Dowager, among the grandsons of the emperor, the grandsons of the emperor, besides His Majesty, they are our second grandsons." But this time, the things obtained by the Sixth Grandsons obviously exceeded those of the second grandsons. The second grandson of the Second Grandson is considered to be the grandson of the second grandson. Mrs. Qi felt that she was still in good health, so she was worried about her grandsons.
Mrs. Qi said, "Yes."
The wife of Duke Qi asked, "Why do you enter the palace? What does the Empress of the Concubine say?" This is the mother of the second emperor's grandson, Concubine Qi.
Mrs. Qi said, "Oh my grandma, I'm happy with everything. I think she's very happy."
"That's good." said the Duke of Qi, "You are confused by the authorities and are too worried about the Empress. In terms of position, in addition to the three palaces, we are the Empress in the palace. The Empress Dowager has always liked the Second Prince, but I asked me to say that because of this, the Empress Dowager is not good for showing favoritism in rewards. Think about it, is this the reason?"
Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi were stunned at first, and slowly figured it out behind me. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Qi said, "Yes, my sister-in-law is saying. You said, I am two years younger than my sister-in-law at this age, why are you confused first?"
The wife of Duke Qi smiled and said, "You care so much about the concubine."
Mrs. Qi said, "Isn't it the reason that the eldest uncle said? In the past few years of A Nan's arrival in the palace, she doesn't mention the old lady, but even the aunt, so why don't you care about her? A Nan has been a person who loves to talk and laugh since she was a child. I had a little unfair attitude in the past, but now I think about it. Only Empress Su in the palace is the most beautiful Empress Dowager, and she is incomparable to this. Now, I suddenly realized that our A Nan's protection is not a blessing." What Mrs. Qi said was completely in his heart. Why was the last emperor appointed the crown prince and then ascended the throne? Is it because there are some talents far beyond the brothers in today's life? No, it's just because the emperor is the eldest son.
How old is the eldest son of the late emperor who is now the second prince? Not how old is it. They were born in the same year. The birthday of the second prince is in the beginning of April and the birthday of the second prince is in the beginning of May.
At that time, Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Qi had a similar pregnancy time, and even the delivery date given by the imperial physician was in May. However, Empress Dowager Cao accidentally fell and then gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. Later, the throne fell to the top of the emperor.
Just think about this, the Qi family’s hatred can break the silver teeth!
But what's the use of these? He has ascended the throne to the emperor today.
I have to swallow this tone even if I don’t want to.
Now that he has been advised by the Duke of Qi, Mrs. Qi realized that even if he lost the throne and the Empress Dowager took care of her, her daughter and grandson would not be sad in the palace.
When the Duke of Qi heard the niece-in-law's words, he smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager was blessed since she was a child, and now she is safe and safe. Unlike some families, I am the first time I heard that the Empress Dowager's father was awarded the title of Count."
Speaking of the unlucky affairs of the Cao family, the women of the Qi family felt very happy.
However, neither the Su family nor the Qi family nor the Empress Dowager's intention was guessed.
As for the Jiang family...
Well, although the Jiang family is now a family of officials, the Jiang family is still a local clan in the storm of the imperial capital. Even A Nian, a former senior Tanhua, always asked Wei Xiang to submit a memorial to the late emperor and his sons to be king, and he instantly understood the intention of the Empress Dowager to reward the emperor's grandson. No, it should be said that the Empress Dowager was particularly generous to the Sixth Emperor's grandson.
Or the Empress Dowager may have a crush on this grandson, but, I think it is true that the Empress Dowager and Wei have little relationship.
Run.
It's just for the run.
Running Wei Xiang, the prime minister of the current dynasty.
The birth mother of the Sixth Emperor's grandson, Wei Taizhaoyi, is Wei's blind date daughter, and the Sixth Emperor's grandson is Wei's grandson.
If Wei Xiang did not understand the intention of the Empress Dowager, then the Empress Dowager would continue to give the Six Emperors grandsons generously to remind everyone of the origin of the Six Emperors grandsons. The mothers of the Emperors grandsons were not very obvious, but Wei Taizhaoyi was born into a famous Wei family.
The Empress Dowager rewarded the emperor's grandsons to highlight the six emperor's grandsons and the sixth princes to remind those who are clear-headed and clear-eyed. Wei Xiang is not only the chief minister, but also the relative of the foreigner.
If Wei Xiang does not react, after the Empress Dowager treats the Sixth Emperor and the Grandpa again and again, even if His Majesty, who has not taken charge of the rule, he will think more about the position of Wei Xiang and the person who has taken charge of the ruler, and will remind His Majesty, who has not taken charge of the ruler, that your chief minister has a natural political tendency in blood ties.
As the chief assistant of the dynasty, Wei Xiang had a long history of politicians, and his understanding was naturally not bad.
Wei Xiang's response was also very good. He enfeoffed the sons of the late emperor. After the filial piety period of the late emperor, the sons could go to the vassal first.
This is why Wei Xiang was smart. A grandson who ranked sixth among the late emperor's sons is important or the position of chief minister is important. It goes without saying that Wei Xiang's counterattack is also very beautiful, which not only shows his loyalty, but also gives the Empress Dowager a good counterattack.
However, a small reward to the emperors and grandsons actually had such a profound meaning.
A Nian's shock was conceivable. When she went back that night, she muttered to Zijin's sister. He Zijin felt great knowledge in both life and asked A Nian, "Do you think the Empress Dowager will agree to the late emperor and his sons to be granted the title of kings and then vassals?"
A Nian thought for a while, "It's hard to say, if the Empress Dowager agrees, wouldn't it mean that Wei Xiang won this game? I think the Empress Dowager is not someone who can easily admit defeat."
A Nian asked, "What do you think?"
He Zijin thought for a moment and said, "I think the Empress Dowager will not agree."
"Wouldn't that be Wei Xiang have the upper hand?" Regardless of status, just by the two, they are all mature politicians. The competition between the two politicians, A Nian does not think that the Empress Dowager will be inferior to Wei Xiang.
He Zijin said, "I don't understand these methods and those who are not good at the best. These days, I have some understanding of the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager is just a means, it is not biased enough if the Empress Dowager describes her grandchildren. A person who is clear about her grandchildren's homework habits will not be just for the sake of behavior, but there are also feelings here. In terms of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, which grandmother wants her grandchild to stay away from her?"
He Zijin asked A Nian suspiciously, "Are you men thinking too much? Isn't it just a historical book annotated by the Emperor of the Ancestral Emperor? As for it? Maybe the Empress Dowager didn't mean that at all. It was because you were thinking about it seven times, and you were not bad."
A Nian said, "There is never a simple matter in authority. I will never misread this matter."
He Zijin laughed, "It's better to make a bet."
"What are you betting on?"
"Just bet on whether the Empress Dowager will let the grandson stay in the imperial capital."
"Finish!" A Nian was quite confident in his political vision and said, "If I win, I don't have to do anything with my sister. Just follow my business."
"You are too confident."
"Our family is confident." A Nian said confidently.
He Zijin looked at him and smiled.
A Nian can guess here that as long as you have enough brains in the imperial capital, you basically think of it here.
Everyone is waiting to see how the Empress Dowager dealt with. The Empress Dowager was unexpected again. She refused, and she refused directly, without any room for rebirth. The Empress Dowager's original words, "The ordinary people's family still have three years of filial piety. As the emperor, the emperor can replace the moon with the sun, but I see the emperor, now I am also wearing plain purses to show filial piety. The grandsons of the Ai family have the same filial piety. The father's filial piety is still there, so they must be granted the king and the vassal, and never receive a sacrifice in front of the father's tomb. Although it is a matter of time before the king and the vassal, please forgive us for our royal orphans and widows. At such a young age, the emperor has not yet ruled. I will not let them be granted the king and the vassal now. You can die for the moment!"
The reaction of the Empress Dowager made many people wonder if they had misunderstood the Empress Dowager.
A Nian even has to ask Sister Zijin, "How can my sister guess so accurately?"
"The same sentence, don't just put the Empress Dowager on the word "meaning" as a means. If you only talk about means, it would be too biased."
A Nian was still puzzled, "What does the Empress Dowager's move mean?"
