After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 285
Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Jing are young couples, both very busy.It's just that the two of them seem to be the opposite of others. The husband-in-law is serious about fighting in the palace and working hard to lay the foundation for his wife's happy life after entering the palace.

The wives, on the other hand, worked hard to engage in politics outside the palace, and placed their own people in the court to lay the foundation for the husband to govern the country in the future.

This couple, who are not doing their jobs properly, have never felt that there is anything wrong with this working model.In fact, until several decades later, this wonderful couple did not think that the division of labor in the family must be male and female.

It's not surprising that the emperor meddles in the gossip of the harem, and it's not unusual for the queen to interfere in the government affairs. Anyway, it's their own business, and whoever is convenient can handle it.Of course, it's just that the couple feel good about themselves. After a hundred years, the historian's statement will not be so good.

But these are all things to say later, Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing in front of them are still a couple with unstable foundations, and they still need to work hard if they want to control their own destiny.

Shangguanjing outside the palace is very busy. In addition to receiving pre-job training for the concubine, she also has to visit relatives when she is free, such as taking a stroll at the Su University Scholars' Mansion, or visiting Lin Taiwei's mansion.

On the surface, she was visiting her elders to curry favor with her nominal and real grandfathers, but there is actually an accurate term for her behavior, which is called "win over courtiers".

However, although this shrewd concubine respected the political power of the aristocratic family on the surface, in fact, the forces quietly cultivated behind her were mainly officials from poor families.

Shangguan Jing worked very hard.Through Mr. Feng's contact and publicity, she is paving the way for the young couple's political career.In fact, the current prince, Xiao Jingheng, has a very high reputation among officials from humble backgrounds.He is the first prince who is willing to take the initiative to break the family's monopoly politics and establish a stable upward path for the poor.

For those officials who came from humble backgrounds and are unwilling to attach themselves to wealthy families, regardless of whether those political promises are true or not, and whether they will be realized in the future, at least this gives them hope to realize their political ideals.

Hope is better than no hope, so these officials from humble backgrounds are willing to work hard for it.

Therefore, the speed at which Shangguanjing gathers contacts is actually very fast, but because the status of poor officials in the court has always been low, and their posts are scattered, even if they made friends with each other in the past, it would not be a big deal. The action, while efficient, is unobtrusive.

Of course, there may be a greater part of the reason for this. Those officials who have always been from high-ranking families have a strong sense of class superiority. His colleagues put it in their eyes.

This kind of habitual thinking of class solidification gave Shangguanjing a lot of convenience.

As for Xiao Jingheng in the palace, the surroundings were silent for a few days. After Miss Chen Jiu went back that day, she cried to Empress Chen again, and Empress Chen turned blue with anger at Xiao Jingheng's threatening remarks.

However, just as Xiao Jingheng had expected before, the Chen family didn't take his threat at all. In the eyes of Prime Minister Chen, Xiao Jingheng was just a kid with no political experience.Although he is very smart, but because he is the only surviving son of the emperor, he has been pampered and spoiled by the emperor and queen mother during the days after entering the palace, and he has a somewhat lawless posture.

In Chen Chengxiang's view, Xiao Jingheng's current behavior is called ignorance.Although he is the only prince, a bare general can't do anything. No matter how capable he is, he can't manage the whole country by himself.

So what if he is a king, he still has to rely on the support and help of his courtiers.

Therefore, Chen Chengxiang is very sure that after Xiao Jingheng enters the court, he will soon understand that the Chen family's support for him is indispensable. Even if it is to stabilize the cooperative relationship between the two parties, he should obediently marry the Chen family's daughter into the door. It is extremely irrational to refuse to marry Miss Chen Jiu.

Prime Minister Chen would also teach in the Ideological and Political Hall on weekdays, so of course he knew that the prince Xiao Heng was not a fool, and there were some truths that His Royal Highness should have understood long ago.Therefore, Prime Minister Chen reasonably judged that the reason His Royal Highness rejected Miss Chen Jiu so forcefully was because someone was obstructing her.

For example, Lin Taiwei.

This old man has been avoiding him all the time recently, poaching his corners in the court, and winning over his political allies. The old man's daughter, Concubine Lin Gui, also makes things difficult for his daughter in the harem. She is not satisfied with being the adoptive mother of the prince. He also wanted to prevent their Chen daughter from marrying the prince.

It has to be said that Chen Chengxiang's analysis is still reasonable.For example, the Lin family is indeed doing everything possible to prevent the Chen family from getting closer to the heir to the throne, and Lin Guifei is indeed trying every means to prevent Miss Chen Jiu from marrying the prince.

Chen Chengxiang analyzed everything, except for one thing, which was Xiao Jingheng's personal wishes.It never occurred to him that Xiao Jingheng was never someone who could be easily influenced and controlled by others. Lieutenant Lin and Concubine Lin had no influence on Xiao Jingheng at all.

So the fact is just the opposite, it was not Xiao Jingheng who cooperated with Lin Taiwei in refusing to marry the Chen family, but Xiao Jingheng used the Lin family to clean up the Chen family.

In Xiao Jingheng's view, Chonghua Palace, and the entire inner courtyard of the future palace, are the private land of his wife, Shangguan Jing. Anyone who wants to think about his wife's sphere of influence, don't blame him for being rude.

So when Xiao Jingheng saw Miss Chen Jiu circling around him again, he smiled.

"It's not surprising." Lin Guifei looked as expected: "Even if she doesn't want to, Empress Chen will not allow her to give up easily. In my opinion, as you said before, find her a suitable husband Son-in-law, it will naturally stop after you get married. You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own opinion."

Concubine Lin Gui simply finished speaking in one breath, saving Xiao Jingheng the effort of pretending to be stupid in front of her.

"In that case," Xiao Jingheng replied with a smile, "my son obeys my concubine's orders."

"You don't need to do anything." Concubine Lin Gui replied, "Don't wander around as usual in the past few days, but don't speak ill of her, and try to give her a chance to pester you. When the heat comes, I will make my own arrangements In addition, you should also tell the king of Huaiyuan County to let him come and go in the palace for a few days, the empress dowager misses him and always talks about it."

Xiao Jingheng knew that Concubine Lin Gui was telling him to try to act together with He Lingjun these few days and not to be alone.Therefore, he nodded cooperatively, expressing his agreement. As for the candidate Lin Guifei planned to send to Miss Chen Jiu, he didn't ask a word, just pretending that he didn't know.

　---Here is the dividing line between the monarch and his ministers--
　　In fact, the relationship between monarch and minister is very subtle, unlike in novels, where the emperor speaks loudly, kills whoever he wants, praises whomever he wants, and uses whomever he wants.

　　And the courtiers, the crown prince, and the emperor... emmm, how do I describe it, I have to make an inappropriate metaphor, like a love triangle between a scumbag man and a scumbag woman, mutual scumbags, mutual defense, and hope that the other two parties loyal. (Hey! I'm talking nonsense, you must not believe it!)

　　Even if the emperor has only one son, it is actually the same, and he will not be completely at ease with his only son.

　　If you are not careful, your son will take the place of Lao Tzu ahead of time and force Lao Tzu to abdicate.

　　As for Prime Minister Chen's mentality, it is not uncommon.There are many examples in history of veterans relying on their elders to sell their elders.

　　In other words, many records in the official history are really like small white texts full of loopholes. If I write out many real stories in history, I will definitely be scolded by you: dog author, illogical, thinking that readers Is it as stupid as you?
