Dajin royal family

Chapter 114
"Your Highness, this is not a question of Yuan's unforgiveness, but His Majesty is expressing his attitude through this incident, and His Majesty also hopes that the prince can feel at ease."

Although the master is not up to the mark, King Qi has the grace to know him after all. Huangfu Jia Dundun persuaded him: "Your Highness should not point your finger at the crown prince now, but think about how to improve your status in the eyes of His Majesty. Your Highness, Excuse me for your slip of the tongue, you can no longer rely on the favor of the empress in the palace to continue, but you should think about how to help your majesty govern the government, only in this way will your majesty value you, see your strengths, and then entrust you with important tasks .”

Huangfu Jia knew very well that today's emperor was not a fool. It can be seen from his intention to move the capital to Luoyang that this His Majesty wanted to make some achievements.At this time, whoever drags him back will be a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

The charcoal in the brazier was crackling, and King Qi's eyes showed unwillingness. He said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, this king should calm down after being tricked twice by him. Next time we meet, I have to thank this king." Good brother?"

Well, the previous analysis is all in vain.

Huangfu Jia thought for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness, the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry is vacant, and the Crown Prince and Gao Xiang will definitely take action. If His Highness wants to vent his anger, he might as well make some fuss about it."

"How to act?"

Huangfu Jialuo thought for a while, and said: "Wait and see in secret, add fuel to the flames."

King Qi thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Sir, I also know that Yu Binghong is a member of the nobles in Guanzhong. This time, the position is vacant, and they will definitely not give up. Could it be that sir, you want this king to help you secretly?" Guanzhong nobles attack Gao Xun?"

King Qi shook his head again and again, "This is absolutely impossible. It's not that my father doesn't know about the attitude of the nobles in Guanzhong. If this king secretly helps the nobles in Guanzhong, once his father finds out, it will be terrible. This is the worst policy. This king will never would agree."

Although I thought too much, there was still some help.Huangfu Jia said: "Your Highness, it's not just Gao Xun and the Guanzhong nobles who spy on the position of Minister of Industry, there are many others. Who said that His Highness is going to help the Guanzhong nobles. Apart from the Guanzhong nobles, is there no one else in your Highness?" Can it be used as a knife?"

Hearing this, King Qi's eyes lit up, "Sir, do you mean the noble families in Shandong and the noble families in Jiangnan?"

Huangfu Jia nodded in relief, "Your Highness, if there are only three people in this court who can compete against Gao Xun and the nobles in Guanzhong."

"Which three?"

"One is King Zhao, who has made outstanding achievements and won the trust of His Majesty. The other is Xiao Dan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. They are all loyal to His Majesty, and only His Majesty obeys, so it is not advisable. There is only a third person who can help His Highness fight against Gao Xun, and that is Yang Taisu, the right minister."

"Yang Taisu?" King Qi frowned, "I thought you were talking about Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of Dali Temple, or Wang Yi, Minister of Taichang Temple. Although Yang Taisu was born in the Hongnong Yang family, he is not the leader of the Shandong gentry. Can help the king."

Huangfu Jia secretly sighed, this master is really tired of talking, why didn't he notice it before.He said: "Your Highness, although Yang Taisu is not the leader of the Shandong gentry, but he holds a high position, he is the only courtier beside Zhao Wang and Gao Xun who can be close to His Majesty. As long as Your Highness supports Yang Taisu, Your Majesty will not be suspicious."

"Why?"

Huangfu Jia: "."

It was all in vain before, but he explained with some tiredness: "Because this is what His Majesty wants to see. The crown prince and Prime Minister Gao, and His Highness and Prime Minister Yang, are clearly distinct and evenly matched."

King Qi suddenly realized, nodded and said: "This king understands, this is the royal father trying to balance the situation in the court."

Great, you finally figured it out.Huangfu Jia picked up the teacup and moistened his throat in relief, then said: "His Royal Highness, remember that when the dynasty begins, as long as the high minister recommends someone, His Highness will refute it. If Yang Xiang recommends someone, His Highness will keep silent and don't interrupt. Your Highness Remember not to express your intention to win over Yang Xiang in a hurry, let His Majesty see it for himself."

"Well, this king understands." King Qi said with a smile: "Too eager will make the emperor suspicious, and Yang Xiang will also be suspicious."

Hearing this, Huangfu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and finally became smart, which was not easy.

After the snow stopped, Chang'an City, which had been quiet for more than a month, became lively again.But this time it's not for the New Year's Day, but for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival was actually not particularly important in the previous dynasty, but it became very grand in the current dynasty. The main reason was that the emperor held a large-scale carnival banquet in the first year of his ascension to the throne.At the beginning of the year of Hongye, the emperor was famous for a hundred operas in Duanmen Street. There were 8000 steps around the theater, and there were [-] people holding silk and bamboo. , It costs a huge amount of money, which is normal at all ages.

In addition, the ban was lifted for three days that day, the city gates were not closed, and the gates of the workshops were not closed, so Jinwu couldn't help it.It is rumored that the emperor once mixed with the common people in white dragon fish clothes on the Lantern Festival, enjoying himself with the common people.

This year is even different, because of the heavy snow, the people of Chang'an don't have a particularly lively New Year's Eve, so this Lantern Festival is quite grand.

There are still two days before the Shangyuan Festival. The streets of Chang'an are already crowded with tourists from all over the country. There are even many merchants from foreign countries and small countries entering Chang'an with goods. This Shangyuan Festival is also a huge event. Business.

A gorgeous carriage is driving in the middle of the road, and on both sides are strong men's house slaves with horizontal knives on their waists.The curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, revealing a pair of bright eyes. She looked back and forth, then lowered the curtain, and said to the handsome young man in the carriage: "Husband, this Shangyuan Festival must be very lively."

"Yeah." Jiang Chengxiao snorted and didn't open his eyes.

Eldest Sun Qingyi covered her mouth coquettishly, "My husband is really stingy, is it so difficult to accompany my concubine to offer incense at Dalin Temple? On such a good day, why does my husband like to lie on the bed?"

"That's for my husband to fulfill your wish." With his eyes slightly open, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The elder Sun Qingyi was ashamed, pinched him angrily, and pouted: "My husband likes to do bad things, but he just wants to find a high-sounding reason for himself. If others find out, they will definitely spread rumors that Duke Langya is a cowardly coward." Joy, those who have no ambitions."

"hey-hey."

The Duke of a certain county smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to embrace his wife in his arms, "With a beauty like my wife by my side, no ambition will be exhausted."

Eldest Sun Qingyi nodded his forehead, "The little girl has to supervise her husband well, if it is because of this, the little girl will be charged with serious crimes."

Talking all the way, the two soon arrived at Dalin Temple.

Because it was still early, there were not many people here.What's more, there are many people in Chang'an these days, and naturally there are many pilgrims who come to offer incense, so Jiang Chengxiao didn't intend to put on his airs as Prince Zhao's son when he came here this time, so the monks in Dalin Temple did not clear the venue.

However, when entering the main hall to worship the Buddha, the house slaves still consciously separated the surroundings, and other pilgrims naturally could not offer incense with them.

Guanyin Temple.

The elder Sun Qingyi knelt on the futon, eyes lightly closed, with a respectful expression, clasped hands, and whispered prayers.On the other hand, Jiang Chengxiao stood by the side door, looking at the bodhi tree covered in heavy snow with a dazed expression.

These days they have been maintaining correspondence, and he did not hide anything about himself and Changsun Qingyi, but told Chi Fan all about it.She is a very kind and good family girl, and she didn't blame him for not keeping his word, but instead asked him to treat eldest grandson Qingyi well.

In the letter, she didn't know how many times she repeated the words that Sun Qingyi was innocent. Because of this, Jiang Chengxiao felt guilty every time he thought of her.

"It won't be too long, it won't be too long." He muttered a few words silently, then turned and walked behind Changsun Qingyi.

At this time, she had finished paying respects to the Buddha, and the maid Pei'er walked to the side of the golden statue of Guanyin, took out a red cloth from her pocket, wrapped a wooden plaque next to the golden statue, and hugged it in her arms.

"What's that?" He asked strangely.

Eldest Sun Qingyi explained: "That is my concubine's longevity tablet."
