Chapter 2119 Zong Baikui ([-]) Several Women and One Drama
"I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Nanning does not give way to women. In the past, when the Marquis of Nanning was patrolling Guangxi and conquered Annan, it was Madam Hou who led the army to attack the fortifications and captured Lang Son. The attention of the south made the Marquis of Nanning lead an army to go straight to the east. Guan (Note: That is Shenglong, the city is also called Dongdu in Annan, but it was called Dongguan in the Ming Dynasty.), so Jiaozhi was decided.

Later, the father and son of Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli in Myanmar rebelled, and the war between Yunnan and Burma broke out.It was Mrs. Hou who personally led elite troops across the sea to attack the rebels, and she smashed more than [-] rebellious troops outside Dongxu City in one fell swoop. "

The Empress Dowager Merciful smiled and described Huang Zhiting's achievements in those years, and then asked curiously: "By the way, the Ai family heard that Mrs. Hou was in Siam for a long time as the vice-capital of Annan, so she even once I have to go back to Beijing for more than a month?"

Huang Zhiting didn't know if Empress Dowager Li's compliment was sincere, and she didn't know what she meant by asking this question, but these were well-known things, and Huang Zhiting didn't need to hide them, so she smiled slightly and replied: "Return to Queen Mother In other words, the minister was born as a chieftain, so he has a permanent job. And because the emperor ordered Annan to take charge of Siam and other places, but the governor of Annan made Mo's stay in Annan, so he had to leave the town of Siam. This is the emperor's guardian of the land. , I dare not slack off, so I have to return to Beijing once a year to report on my duties."

Huang Zhiting's status is quite special, on the one hand she is a married woman, also known as a married woman.When she was first appointed as a married woman, her husband Gao Wushi was still a servant, so Huang Zhiting was named a third-ranked married woman "Shuren" at that time.Later, with the promotion of Gao Pragmatism's status, her status has also risen. From Mrs. (Second Grade) to First Grade Mrs., and then to Mrs. Hou, she is already the second only to "Mrs. Guo" among foreign wives.

But on the other hand, she is not just a Madam Hou, but also a dignified member of the imperial court, a border minister and a town general—the Deputy Commander of the Annan Metropolitan Commissioner, and the third grade of Yizheng.Oh, by the way, she is also the hereditary Anbang Propaganda Envoy under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy, governing the Haidong Mansion.

"It's not easy!" The Empress Dowager Cisheng nodded again and again, and said, "Mrs. Hou has given up her family to serve the country. How can you mourn your family and never hear that the emperor has rewarded you? This is not possible. When the emperor comes later, mourn Jia Fei has to ask him what's going on, isn't this treating Zhongliang poorly?"

Huang Zhiting was very surprised when he heard the words.As for Annan, or the situation in southern Xinjiang as a whole, in fact, the emperor had a tacit understanding with his husband, and the imperial court didn't care about matters in southern Xinjiang at all.Since he didn't ask questions, naturally he couldn't talk about giving him any rewards for his so-called merits of guarding.

Besides, how to award it?The countries in southern Xinjiang maintained their original kingdom structure, but they proclaimed themselves three times and six comforts to the Ming court.For example, Nanzhang Kingdom called itself the Military and Civilian Propaganda Department of Laos, Siam claimed to be the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Department, Bagu claimed to be the Grand Gula Xuanwei Department, and so on.

Huang Zhiting is already the Deputy Commander of Annan, if there is a higher reward, which "comfort envoy" will be replaced?Basically, it should be impossible, because it would affect the stability of southern Xinjiang.

Of course, at this time Huang Zhiting was more concerned about what Queen Mother Li said.It stands to reason that the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics, and even the affairs of southern Xinjiang do not seem to be considered serious government affairs, but after all, it is nominally a territory of the Ming Dynasty, so it is hard to say that it is not government affairs, right?
At this moment, the queen interrupted suddenly, and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, the emperor once thought of rewarding Mrs. Marquis, but..." She paused for a while, then Hao Ran smiled and said: "It was all declined by the Marquis of Nanning. "

"Oh, so that's the case." Empress Dowager Li suddenly nodded, "It's good that the emperor has that intention. As for Nanning Marquis... well, Nanning Marquis is the king of the world. Since he declined, he must have his own reasons. Aijia I won't say much more."

After a pause, Empress Dowager Li asked Huang Zhiting again: "I heard from Ai's family that Mrs. Hou's eldest son is also thirteen or fourteen years old this year? Hehe, his father has already taken three cases when he was less than ten years old. Is there a heart where blue comes from blue and is better than blue?"

Gao Wushi was the chief case of Xinzheng County in the first month of Xinwei in the fifth year of Longqing, the chief case of Kaifeng Prefecture in March, and the chief case of Dao Shidao in April.These three cases are also the first three "firsts" of his "six champions", and he was indeed less than ten years old at the time.

However, Queen Mother Li's question is not easy to answer, especially in Huang Zhiting's capacity.She hesitated a little, and replied: "Although the dog has the heart of the father, I don't know if he has the talent to succeed in his career. And because my husband is a minister, and the dog is not allowed to refer to it, so the dog has studied for many years, but he has not received a tribute. The concubine really doesn't know what her talent is."

When the queen mother asked about political affairs, Huang Zhiting called herself a minister; when the queen mother asked about private affairs, Huang Zhiting called herself a concubine.It can be seen from this that she is a little bit cautious about her own identity now.

As soon as she heard her say that, Empress Dowager Li looked very regretful, and sighed again and again: "Didn't this delay the child? The Marquis of Nanning is in his prime. Although he is the chief assistant now, he is not yet forty years old. In the future, there will be thirty The future of the rest of the year, the child can't take the exam after more than 30 years, right?"

Huang Zhiting felt a little dejected when she thought of this matter, and said with a wry smile: "It is true, but it is the same in the world, but one cannot make an exception for one person, so let's not hide it from the Queen Mother, the concubine has already given up on the matter of dog son's tribute. Fortunately, my husband Now that you have a title, even if the dog is not allowed to pass the imperial examination, you will always have an identity in the future."

Empress Dowager Li regretted: "It's a pity... Speaking of it, it would be nice if he was younger, but... he is a little older."

Huang Zhiting was surprised and said: "I am stupid, I don't know what the Empress Dowager means by this?"

Empress Dowager Li said: "The Marquis of Nanning was the emperor's companion when he was the prince. If your son is not much different from the current prince's age, he can actually be the prince's companion, but he is more than ten years older than the prince. It's a bit difficult."

Huang Zhiting didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to have such thoughts, but she was not too disappointed. After all, she had already made psychological preparations and even arrangements. She thought it would be good if Gao Yuan could inherit the southern border in the future. As for any prince to accompany her...he didn't It doesn't make much sense for the prince to study with the imperial examination if he has the opportunity to take the imperial examination.

However, at this time the queen suddenly interjected again: "I never thought that the children of the Marquis of Nanning would lose the opportunity to become an official in the imperial examination because of this reason. It is indeed embarrassing. However, although Mrs. Therefore, I can't be with the prince as a companion, but this palace suddenly thought that Mrs. Hou's third son is not a few years older than the prince, so he can consider entering the palace to study with the prince after a few years."

Huang Zhiting was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and subconsciously glanced at Princess Yongning.The eldest princess obviously felt a little guilty, she didn't dare to face Huang Zhiting's gaze, and looked down at her toes restrainedly.

Empress Dowager Li coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "That's a good idea. Madam Hou, Gao Yuan is your child. Although Gao Luo was adopted by Yao, he is also your child... Do you think Gao Luo should be the crown prince? how?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, whoever is the prince's companion should be judged by the emperor, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to comment." Huang Zhiting said this in a somewhat harsh tone, but she immediately realized that the tone was disrespectful, so she calmed down a bit After feeling better, he added: "However, if the Empress Dowager just asks the minister's wishes, the minister...'as a mother', naturally agrees."

Although her words were a remedy for the previous tone, she couldn't help but accentuate the tone of "being a mother", as if to remind: My "birth mother" is just a name, and it is not enough for you to use it once. If you want to continue to use it, do you really think I have no temper at all?
However, although Empress Dowager Li has some fears about Gao Wushi, she has no such worries about Huang Zhiting. She just pretended not to hear Huang Zhiting's resentment, and said with a smile, "Since Mrs. Hou also agrees, it will be easy... …With the friendship between the emperor and Marquis of Nanning, as long as Marquis of Nanning speaks up when he has the opportunity, the emperor will definitely agree."

Huang Zhiting was furious when she heard the words.

Okay, not only do you want to use me, but you also want your husband to ask the emperor himself?What's the matter, your face is face, my husband and I don't want face?
You yourself don't want to take the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor because it is inconvenient for you to be involved in politics, but you want my husband to speak up. Could it be that my husband's words will not be rumored?Hmph, someone must have leaked it by then, and then the outer court will definitely put this shit bowl on the husband's head, thinking I can't see it?
Huang Zhiting's face turned cold, and she said indifferently: "Queen Mother, how my husband behaves is not something I can control. If the Queen Mother's words mean to encourage my husband to do selfish things, please forgive me for not daring to follow such an order. "

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was shocked, no one expected Huang Zhiting's answer to be so firm, there was no room for change!

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the Madam Hou in front of her was indeed worthy of being a heroine, a heroine, and a famous general from the Southern Kingdom who once defeated an army of 20 in one battle.

She was fine when she was speaking as "Mrs. Hou" just now, but once she transformed into a general of Jiang Chen, her heroic spirit was beyond the reach of ordinary women. inviolable.

After Empress Dowager Li was stunned, she took a deep breath, and her complexion sank, as if frost had applied to her face, as if she was about to speak out.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the queen at the side quickly stopped the conversation, smoothed things over and said, "Mrs. Hou, you misunderstood, how could the queen mother mean that?"

She intentionally slowed down her speech so that she could think about the countermeasures. Seeing that the Queen Mother did not speak for the time being because she interrupted, she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hou, what the Queen Mother just said was not ordered by Yi, but just a suggestion. Think about it, Gao After all, Luo is the Marquis of Nanning and your child, if he can accompany the prince in the future, it will be of great benefit no matter what... Whether it is for himself or for the Gao family, does Mrs. Hou think so?"

Similar to Huang Zhiting's emphasis on "being a mother", the queen also emphasized the word "Nanning Hou" in "Nanning Hou and You" here, and finally added "to the Gao family" , are obviously all meanings.

Huang Zhiting fell silent, but the previous coldness and sternness disappeared from her expression.After a while, she calmly bowed to the queen and said: "Ms. Meng, I thank you on behalf of my husband."
