Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 592, Emperor's Heir

The naughty sister and brother returned to Xinji and still lived in Yuan's house. Fang's family was completely awakened when she saw the homework on the pier. In this province, who could have more prestige in the literary world than the old man Yuan, she never mentioned it again. Let Zheng Hao live with himself.

Naughty's siblings will live in Zheng Hao's Mid-Autumn Festival in Xinji, or Naughty will get married.

If Zheng Haoruo leaves the department, he will go to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Naughty will accompany him to Beijing in advance. Follow his father's old way of getting an official position, and return to Beijing to study at the official school. When the son gets married, he will go to Beijing again.

Naughty has not been married for a few years, only two years.

The great-grandfather was old, and the naughty son took care of his mother in his later years. If it hadn't been for several years of war, the naughty son hadn't seen his brothers, and he would have returned to Xinji long ago. Although the old man was old, he was considered healthy, and the naughty son would have been waiting in Beijing. , This time when I return to my hometown, I have to stay for a few years.

Yuan Min is married, and now only the second son, Yuan Yi, is at home in Xinji Yuan's family, and he is back to being naughty again. This New Year is very lively.

When spring came, the epidemic was severe. Someone in the princess's mansion was infected first, and then the princess also fell ill. This was unexpected by everyone.

Yun Zhan is already 50 years old, and the princess is also entering old age, but she is usually in good health, but she suddenly fell ill and became seriously ill, which worried the whole Beijing.

People kept coming to the palace, Tang Ze and his wife drove here for several days in a row, and issued several imperial edicts a day to the imperial hospital, but it didn't stop the illness. The princess fell into a coma that day.

They all feel bad, so let's prepare for the funeral. Luan Ying and the others guard the princess and cry quietly, but their eyes are red and swollen. The letter is also written to Yuan Hui, the princess loves her sister a lot, and asks her to come back to see her off.

People who have been favored by the princess are offering incense, and Nanyang Hou's Mansion is no exception.

In the study, the Marquis of Nanyang wrote vigorously. As soon as Guisheng arrived at the Ministry of Officials, the Marquis of Qinghe fell down.

Nanyang Hou lived with him, and he could see Guisheng's gloomy face every night when he came back. Nanyang Hou Ru was to Luan Jing back then, it wasn't Luan Jing who insisted on changing the yamen, Nanyang Hou pretended not to see.

The villain's family first arrived in the yamen, and it would be fine after a few years. Nanyanghou came here like this, and so did Luan Jing.

And Guisheng's official position is not the kind of Luan Jing who took his father's shadow. We all know that this kind of official position is incompetent. A yamen is also a low-level official position, and the imperial court still enjoys meals.

Guisheng's official position comes from military merits, and it is hard and unshakable.

If he wants to change the yamen, he can only go through normal transfers, otherwise the family is willing to contribute money and efforts to him, and the receiving yamen will also wonder how the previous yamen was evaluated.

And Nanyanghou, a man of his age, knows that a yamen can't stay and has no results, and it's hard to find a yamen to accept.

He is getting old, and the people he associates with young and middle-aged people are either retiring or passing away. He is tired and can't help you.

It's still the same idea, anyway, there is a descendant of the Luan family who has a title on his head, and the title is very tough, he can sue his ancestors on the New Year's Day, but the family doesn't need the title.

What I have always thought of is to pay it back decently, and I am grateful to the princess for supporting Luan Ying, and it is only natural to pray for her.

If the ancestral title is still due to his own luck, then this luck can be reduced or not, and pray for the princess.

After finishing writing, Nanyang Hou thought of Feng's mother and son, Guisheng had no objection, Feng bowed his head for a long time and agreed.

The next day the Marquis of Nanyang's memorial was presented to the palace, and when it came to Tang Ze's desk, it happened that the memorial written by the Marquis of Qinghe in the Imperial Prison was also presented, and the Marquis of Qinghe also returned his title to pray for the princess, saying that his family had no talent, no virtue, and was unworthy. Enjoy the ancestral title again, and heard that the princess is sick, and is willing to hand over the title to the commoner and vegetarian, only to ask God to show mercy and increase the princess's longevity.

Tang Ze opened it and looked at it and put it aside. He held a pen in his hand, and what he wrote was a new imperial decree written by himself. He was planning to amnesty the world and pray for his aunt, only wishing her a longer life.

After the imperial decree was sent out, the princess woke up, and Tang Ze rushed to the bed. Hearing the princess' arrangements for the funeral, she probably knew that this was a flashback, and called the people who wanted to be warned to come in and talk.

After talking for half an hour, seeing Tang Ze standing aside, the princess waved him to return to the palace to attend court affairs, and closed her eyes to refresh herself.

Tang Ze returned to the palace with tears in his eyes. At this moment, Marquis Qinghe was released from prison with tears in his eyes. He was pardoned.

Go to the street outside the Princess Mansion Gate, where people kowtow to pray for blessings every day, Qinghe Hou kowtowed at the end, made a wish, and walked home.

Mrs. Qinghe Hou received him overjoyed. After Qinghe Hou washed up, the husband and wife brought the remaining family members to burn incense in the courtyard until late at night.

Prince Qinghe went home after hearing the news, and Qinghehou didn't blame him, he just said: "Guisan still has the courage of Mid-Autumn Festival, he told me that I might be able to pass the next subject. You study again, it doesn't matter what happens."

In the middle of the night, the princess regained some energy and called Luan Ying. Yunlong and He Jie said, "My son is ambitious. I won't compete with my brother and earn the title by myself. Well, I didn't dote on you in vain. In the future, I will be with Brother Long again." That's good, Brother Long has to take care of his elder brother and younger brother. Brother Jie is the younger brother, so he should stay with the older brothers."

The word spread to the palace, and the imperial decree arrived at the Marquis of Nanyang early in the morning. Luan Ying was promoted to the Marquis of Cheng'en because of her service to the princess.

The second imperial decree continued the amnesty, taking back the golden words of last year that the three generations of fallen families were not allowed to be officials, and changed it to the princess's mercy and compassion, still following the old rules.

As soon as Qinghe Hou Shizi picked up the book, he returned to his official position, and Qinghe Hou also had a long conversation with his father and son. Daughter. Don’t say that you still need to study at the age of 50. It is your blessing to pick up the books you should have read before.”

He submitted a memorial to ask for old age, and asked to seal up his own house, leaving only a simple residence: his children and grandchildren can serve him in his youth, and he will be awarded a title after passing the imperial examination.

Tang Ze, who was busy writing the imperial decree, agreed, but asked Qing Hehou to seal the house and open it when he was happy.

In the third imperial decree, Tang Ze refunded all the fines from last year and wholeheartedly offered amnesty for his aunt.

The fourth imperial decree, Tang Ze's grace to the old family in the south who has been against him, originally wanted to choose a few head-to-head attacks, but now it is temporarily stopped.

The fifth decree, he pardons prisoners except for the death penalty, and the death penalty will not be executed this year.

The sixth decree, the temples and nunneries in the boundary of Beijing were dressed up in disorder, those without gold bodies were painted with gold, and those with gold bodies were painted again, and many imperial envoys were sent to famous temples across the country to reward them.

The emperor was really anxious.

Qinghehou's mansion was a fine pay. At that time, Qinghehou was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Although Luan Ying was running around to take care of her, Qinghehou's wife was in a hurry to sell the property and pay it off. She was afraid that Qinghehou would be treated badly inside. This time, the return was a large sum. money.

First return the money owed to Yanyan, Yanyan sent back the antiques but refused to accept them, Nanyang Marquis also asked Yanyan to keep the antiques: "Let Brother Ying move around more in the future."

There was a lot of money left, and the Qinghehou's mansion refused to open the courtyard. They brought a family to buy a carriage of grain, and came to Longshanhou's house to put down some grain. The Longshanhou's mansion only handed over part of the fine. There is also a lack of things in front of the return of fines.

He said: "I don't keep any money. If I keep money, I'm afraid that my children will enjoy the comfort again. In the future, if your family lacks food and clothing, you will come to me. If you lack money, you can earn it yourself."

In this way, they walked over one by one, and finally came to Viscount Dinghai's mansion. Viscount Dinghai was ashamed to see him, and hid in his room, not daring to come out. One of his daughters-in-law went out with Marquis Qinghe: "Uncle, please stay."

He whispered a few words in a low voice, Qinghe Hou's face remained unchanged, but he asked his family to drive straight to the Ministry of Punishment.

At night, Chen Ji walked out of the corner gate. It was cold in the spring night. He subconsciously looked towards the gate not far away. The red lanterns brought warmth and illuminated the words on the plaque, Princess Zhaoyu's Mansion.

Chen Ji smiled sarcastically, the number of lanterns at this gate has never been as high as that of Auntie Princess Dayi's Mansion.

Princess Dayi's Mansion is the largest princess mansion in this dynasty, exceeding the standard of a normal princess, so the comparison with other princess mansions is untenable, and everyone has to compliment her.

Chen Ji's father is Chen Guogong, who has only one military camp in his hands, and Yun Zhan decides the size and size of the transfer. Chen Ji thinks about himself, who is seven feet tall and takes orders from his short cousin, and he has a feeling that if he gave birth to me, why should he give birth again? Cousin's resentment.

The Huguo Duke's Mansion doesn't have that much power, and Chen Ji can still be the heir of the Duke, but the Zhen Guo General's yamen is very powerful, and he comes from the same background as himself.

His father is a prince and his mother is a princess.

Putting on a hat in a dark place and covering most of the face with a collar, he quietly came to a residential house. After nightfall, the street was invisible in the residential house, and thick winter curtains were hung to block the light. The candlelight was as weak as a bean. There were more than thirty people in the room. They were the second son of Marquis Longshan and the concubine son of Viscount Dinghai. All the fallen families in Beijing in this dynasty are here.

There are only thirty or so families, and the ruined families without titles are not in their ranks. Only the ancestors have won prominent honors, and the descendants think they should care about it.

There are not many imperial relatives like Chen Ji. When the first emperor was sick and lying in charge of government, many people opposed him because he reused the imperial officials. However, his sword was mainly aimed at Princess Dayi, who was gaining in prestige, but Duke Protector failed to protect Zhou Mi.

Princess Zhaoyu is an honest leader, the late emperor treated her very well, and he also hinted at Princess Dayi, but the princess blatantly refused, and continued to accuse the late emperor of misconduct in government.

After Tang Ze succeeded to the throne, Princess Dayi was extremely prominent, but the benefits Princess Zhaoyu received were gone. She didn't like her cousin Yun Zhan since she was a child, and thought that he was born with small eyes and dark skin, Chen Ji, which was unusual in her heart.

But Yun Zhan was more capable than him, and Chen Ji launched many competitions on his own and was defeated by himself. The only thing he figured out that could make him stand up was after Princess Dayi passed away.

The princess' condition will not be announced. Chen Ji is a relative of the emperor. He saw that the imperial hospital almost lived in the princess's mansion. It is not difficult to come up with a random result.

"Everyone, put your seals here and your fingerprints. We are on the same boat. If Dayi could break into the palace, so can we. Tang Ze's position is wrong. He was selected by Dayi to force all the officials to protect him." The military power of the Duke's Mansion has always been an accomplice, and all officials dare not speak out. Just look at Tang Ze who almost moved the treasury to Dayi after succeeding to the throne. They must have agreed back then. My mother is a princess, and she can also determine the world. can elect an emperor."

The concubine of Viscount Dinghai asked, "Then is there anyone in the palace?"

Chen Ji smiled slightly: "What do you think?"

Raise your voice slightly: "When we are done, everyone will have errands, and the official residence is above the fourth grade."

Everyone stamped and stamped, and returned quietly as when they came.

On the third courtyard wall to the east, a middle-aged woman is counting people. Her former benefactor can still be seen at a glance by her walking posture. There are more than one benefactors who passed by her house, and she was the number one.

She stepped on the ladder, and her husband held the ladder, and the woman came down: "Yes, those people I recognized, the street said that the princess was seriously ill, and these dignitaries and dignitaries gathered in our small street. Good thing, tell Mr. He's family tomorrow morning."

The man listened outside the wall: "The third watch hasn't been called yet, or I'll go there now."

The woman said: "He Dong's family doesn't live in the shop, he and Song Dong's family live in the baron's mansion."

The man said: "Then I will look for him tomorrow morning."

Viscount Dinghai's concubine turned more than a dozen streets, making sure he wasn't following him, and walked towards the Qinghehou Mansion. The whole family of the Qinghehou Mansion moved to live in a small courtyard at the corner gate, so it was convenient to call the door.

Seeing that there was no one outside the gate of the Qinghe Hou's mansion, this man walked boldly, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person walking out of another alley in the same direction as himself, and the two looked at each other. This was a son of Long Shanhou. Longshan Hou Shizi fled abroad, and now he has nothing to do with the restoration of his official position, but he also came.

The two were vigilant for a moment, then relieved each other, and then they pretended not to see each other, but when one knocked on the door and called Qing Hehou, the other looked around.

Gao Mingying was sitting in Yun Zhan's study room, the two of them looked at the list on the table in silence, and the drum rang at the third watch, Yun Zhan said: "Go back, don't you want to sleep here, I don't plan to stay up late with you for these bastards discuss."

Gao Mingying got up and stretched happily: "I didn't intend to discuss with you either, you are not in charge of this matter, I just let you know, I am afraid that these people will take risks, so I ask you to be on guard at night, and I will return to the emperor tomorrow morning. "

Walking to the door, he turned around again with a displeased expression on his face.

Yun Zhan said: "What's the matter?"

Gao Mingying said angrily: "I ignored you when I received the news, and sat with you staring blankly until now. If I have the time to write memorials, wouldn't it be good?"

Yun Zhan said with a smile: "It's not difficult for you to get up early and write tomorrow. Let's go, if you stick around here, you will blame me again."

After Gao Mingying left, Yun Zhan sat facing the list for a while, and his angry face slowly emerged.

At the dawn of dawn, in He Jie's baron's mansion, He Ning Luzhu woke up early, and had to go to the princess mansion to serve after washing up. He Ning Luzhu moved in a hurry. Ning: "Although the businessman in the south is extravagant, saving people from the dust is a good deed. This is a good deed. If there is anything you can do to help, you can promise her."

He Ning pulled her closer: "They are husband and wife, and you and I also meet each other as husband and wife."

The middle-aged woman and her husband met, and they told what happened last night: "I watched them for three nights, and they were in a small courtyard on our street at the same time every day. Please don't joke, several of them are from my past." Enke, I can recognize them. They covered their heads and faces. I was afraid of identifying the wrong person, so I read and watched again and again, and then I dared to report. It is said that the princess is ill. , and said that the emperor's position is not right."

He Ning Lvzhu's face was serious, the couple got up and bowed deeply to express their thanks, at this time they didn't care about thanking them much, so they went to see Yuanxiu at Duke Huguo's mansion.

Yuanxiu and his daughter Mudan were sitting together talking about something, and they didn't say anything when they saw He Ning Luzhu come in. After He Ning Luzhu said, he cleared his throat, and He Ning said solemnly: "Sister Xiu, I've made up my mind. Several father-in-laws wanted me to accept offerings, but I was too troublesome and refused to accept them. I also thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less. We have become a habit of relying on you for everything. Now if your family needs anything, we can’t help you. I accept this offering."

Yuan Xiu laughed at him: "The losers go to the palace, but there is no apricot flower hairpin. You, forget it, it doesn't matter if the court offerings are not accepted, at this moment you will really add things next."

Lu Zhu nervously said: "Have you been obedient when you enter the palace?"

Yuan Xiu smiled: "When my mother is sick, can I hear less? Don't worry about it, they can only say a few words." Yun Mudan nodded in agreement with her mother's words.

Dispelling He Ning's thoughts, He Ning Luzhu went to see the princess, the mother and daughter picked up the conversation, Yun Mudan frowned: "I still don't know who can be the emperor, what should I do, mother?"

Yuan Xiu comforted her: "Then you should only choose your husband-in-law."

Yun Mudan shook her head: "No, the emperor asked me to choose not only a husband-in-law, but also an heir."

In the next few days, when the princess was awake, she only saw Tang Ze. Tang Ze simply lived in the princess' mansion, using the main hall of the princess as the royal study, and the queen also stayed to serve the decoction.

Jing An came to see Tang Ze with red and swollen eyes: "Brother Emperor, Aunt, Aunt, and Cousin Zhan have done a lot, why can't they be crowned king?"

Tang Ze said silently, "Jing'an, this is my aunt's intention. I am not allowed to make Duke Hu the county king."

Jing An said angrily: "You can be reasonable, my aunt has done too much for this court." He left angrily.

Seeing Tang Ze startled, the personal eunuch came over and said, "Although Princess Jing'an is too simple, she is loyal to the princess. Your majesty, why don't you reveal it to her?"

Tang Ze sat down and said, "On the day when I follow the late emperor, the will will naturally make it clear. Jing'an will not blame me then, why bother to reveal it now."

Tang Ze's promise to his aunt would be void if he was not alive.

What else did the personal eunuch want to say, Tang Ze said: "If you want to talk too much, you might as well talk in front of Peony. I still have seven sons who are not married. Those who are older than her and those who are younger can match her. Who she chooses is what you should care about right now."

The personal eunuch saluted: "Yes, this old slave will take care of the emperor's heir."

　have a nice weekend
