The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 537 'Promotion'

The empress gave birth to a legitimate son, and the Tang Empire had a legitimate heir.

Rao is now a national mourning, and the sluggish atmosphere in the harem and the former dynasty due to the death of the old saint can't help but change. Even the empress dowager showed a long-lost smile.

During the national mourning period, it is not allowed to celebrate wildly, but it is allowed to have a small meal together and watch the hundred-day banquet of the new crown prince.After all, this was the first happy event in the Celestial Dynasty that had a great impact after the death of the old sage.

As one of the protagonists, the queen is extraordinarily energetic today, every cell in her body is full of joy.Although it is not exaggerated laughter, or ostentatious ecstasy (the old sage's filial piety period has not yet passed, which daughter-in-law dares to be ecstatic, and is not afraid of being photographed by the queen mother?), but the guests present can feel her from the bottom of her heart. Come out relaxed and joyful.

In fact, everyone can understand that in the past few months, the queen has indeed had a lot of happy events.

First, her husband became the emperor, and she followed suit;

Second, her father was enshrined as the Duke of the State, her mother was the Madam of the State, and her brothers also received their own conferments;
Third, and most importantly, she finally gave birth to a son.

With a son-in-law, her empress position is completely secure. As long as the emperor does not commit crimes, as long as the empress does not do anything immoral and angry, she can survive until her son becomes emperor, and she can be like the current empress. As honorable as the Queen Mother.

What, you said that the queen's son will definitely be the next saint before the saint canonize the crown prince?
After hearing this question, the queen smiled. She has been married to the saint for more than 20 years, and she is considered one of the people who know the saint best in the world.

As far as the saint is concerned, he has always had a role model in his mind, that is his father, the old saint, and he has been with his father for so many years, subtly, his words and thoughts have been influenced by his father.

The old sage liked frugality. After he came to the throne, he tried his best to promote frugality and suppress the increasingly popular extravagance in Beijing.

The old sage valued feelings, so he lowered his figure to get closer to courtiers, clan and brothers.

old sage...

Inadvertently, the sage imitated his father a little bit, lest he did something wrong and would be accused of being "unworthy of his father" and "embarrassing his responsibility".

Among the many habits of the old sage, there is another habit that the queen likes very much, that is, the old sage attaches great importance to the patriarchal clan and respects the eldest son.

In the past, the eldest son was the prince, so now he is the new saint.

Today's first son is her son. Although this little guy is only a hundred days old, his lineage predestined his status - the future prince, the next saint!

In addition, the queen knew in her heart that the saint is also very eager to have a son, because his deadly rival Shiro has a son, and this son is still a bonus item. Although the saint has already sat firmly on the dragon chair, there is always a thorn in his heart. The son lost to Shiro in this one.

The queen still remembers clearly that day when she finished giving birth, before falling asleep from exhaustion, she seemed to hear the saint's ecstatic cry: "...Aye, Aye, have you seen that son, son also has a son... ...My son, he should be the crown prince..."

That's right, the emperor didn't officially confer the crown prince (Little Rouqiu is still too young, the child mortality rate is so high these days, just in case—), but because of his words, the people in the palace are already very stupid The old man called Saburo the 'Little Prince'.

The emperor once heard it face to face, and he didn't reprimand him. Instead, he happily continued to play with his son. Therefore, the servants and maids in the palace understood that the sage had acquiesced, that is, he recognized the prince face to face. 'What about the identity.

As a result, everyone seemed to be encouraged, and called out "little prince" more vigorously. This title was quickly passed from the harem to the former court. Although the ministers did not say anything, they all recognized the identity of the little meatball.

Didn't say anything, the queen's son, the emperor's only son, what is it if he isn't a prince? !

Xiao Nan was a little worried when he heard this, and while Mi Yue was entering the palace to congratulate him, he secretly reminded the queen: "Now the saint is in the mood, so he didn't say anything...but if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. This incident, criticizing His Highness and the little prince, that, that—"

The queen is not a person without political sense, so she immediately understood Xiao Nan's meaning.

Yes, in the past, when the sage was still the prince, she and him were husband and wife. The two had the same mind and the same interests. In the face of bigger conflicts (the dispute between the princes), small frictions in the family were ignored.

But it’s different now, the sage is already the lord of all the people in the world, and is no longer her husband alone, the biggest problem has been solved smoothly, then all kinds of problems between them, or within the family will also appear .

And the queen knew very well that the saint only respected her in etiquette and had no love for her.But the palace is the place where etiquette is the least important. If one day the emperor is fascinated by a certain beauty, his head is swollen for a while, and then he abolishes his son and establishes a concubine, then the matter of the palace people calling Sanlang the "little prince" will be easy. It is a ready-made handle.

It's still the same sentence, 'If the name is not right, the words will not be right'!
The empress was startled, she was so careless, she thought that the whole situation was settled after becoming an empress and having a son-in-law, she almost forgot the cruelty of the harem battle, let alone others, Concubine Wei Shu and her sons stared at them covetously What about mother and son?

The empress was very grateful that Xiao Nan could talk to her so openly, but she didn't show it on the face, she nodded lightly to show that she understood.

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what the queen meant, smiled slightly, and stopped entangled in this topic, but changed the topic, talking about interesting things in Jiwei College.

Seeing Xiao Nan's sense of humor and sense of propriety, the Queen was even more satisfied, she thought to herself, Xiao Shi is really smart, so she can draw her to her side as an arm.

In addition, when she gave birth that day, Xiao Shi also made meritorious service, and she should be rewarded for her meritorious service. It seems that she has to show one or two in due course.

On the day when I finished talking with Xiao Nan, the empress reprimanded the maids and servants of Chengqing Palace and ordered them not to shout indiscriminately. The word must not appear.

That night, the queen changed into her court clothes, and made a big ceremony to confess her sins to the saint.

Seeing the queen's solemnity, the sage was startled, and asked repeatedly what happened.

After listening to the queen's words, he laughed and stretched out his hands to help the queen up, and said that the "little prince" was said by him himself and had nothing to do with the queen.

Besides, it's only natural that his son is the prince, so what if the palace servant called San Lang the little prince, the queen doesn't have to be so careful.

The queen insisted, and even pointed out that the old sage and the empress dowager were people who respected the rules and should not mess with the rules of the palace for the sake of the little prince.

Hearing what the queen said, the sage hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "The queen is right, how about this, I will discuss with the courtiers about the official canonization of the crown prince after Saburo is one year old. Before that, uh, according to In the meaning of the queen, call Saburo the 'Little Prince'!"

The queen hurriedly saluted and said that the saint was wise.

When the sage saw this, he somehow remembered his mother admonishing his father in a dress, and then looked at the queen in a dress with a solemn expression. He felt that although the queen was not as good as his mother, she was still a bit like the mother of the country. Open-minded and generous.

Not bad, not bad!

As a result, the dissatisfaction that had just arisen due to the queen's stubbornness disappeared in an instant, and the husband and wife went to see their son happily.

Unknowingly, the empress's feelings have also deepened a little because of this little meatball. At least, when the saint looked at the empress, it was no longer that formulaic smile, and the smile gradually began to extend to the bottom of his eyes.

The emperor and the empress are in harmony, some are happy and some are sad.

The empress dowager and everyone in the Su family were happy.

The ones who are worried are the concubines in the harem, such as Concubine Wei Shu, who also came to watch the third prince for a hundred days today, with a smile on her face, but her hands hidden in her sleeves have already twisted the handkerchief into twists, looking at the white and round little When he was meat ball, his eyes were even more chilly.

If eye knives can kill, I believe that the little meatball has turned into a corpse by now.

However, Concubine Wei Shu's expression changed extremely quickly, and before anyone could notice, she returned to her gentle and kind appearance.

Princess Changle, who was sitting by the side, did not ignore Concubine Wei Shu's expression. A sneer appeared on the corners of her lips, and she spoke from her heart. It seemed that a new round of disputes between princes had begun, and she had to think about it when she returned.

What the eldest princess didn't expect was that the dispute between the 'Prince and the King of Wei' that she thought was over did not really end.

No, the third prince's hundred-day banquet had just ended, and there was still a peaceful atmosphere from the palace to the capital. On a certain day at the court meeting, the emperor announced a not-so-peaceful decision as an emphatic courtier.

"Wei Wang Li Tai was appointed as the envoy of Longyou Dao to interview and dispose, to supervise the officials of the prefectures and counties..."

In fact, this decision was much more generous than the empress dowager's proposal, and in order to show that he valued his younger brother and was not seeking revenge, the sage specially created an "inspector and disposition envoy" for Li Tai's children's shoes.

According to the emperor's explanation, this so-called "inspector and disposition envoy" is the highest inspector.The inspectors are not directly responsible for the specific government affairs of prefectures and counties, but are only responsible for supervising officials at all levels.

In order to further show that he was sincere to his younger brother, the emperor also gave the procurator extremely high authority-he could directly dismiss the governor, except that the reform of the old system must be reported in advance, and other matters can be handled by himself.

In other words, within a group, the inspector is the boss, and his words are the "sacred decree" under the rule.

On the surface, the emperor was indeed very generous, and even distributed the land of Yiyi to King Wei.You know, the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty is not too much to make ten points, and he gave one at a time, which is not unkind.

But in fact, what the emperor assigned to King Wei was Longyou Dao, which ruled eighteen prefectures, all of which were in the west. Deserts, grasslands, and high slopes can't be called barbaric lands, but they can't be compared with Guannei. .

In addition, the people under Longyou Dao's rule were Hu and Han people, and most of them were Hu people, and there were Turkic people who returned to the Tang Dynasty...It is definitely not an easy thing for a foreign race to rule a foreign race.

So in such a place, even if you become an emperor, you will not be safe.

Moreover, Longyou is the western border of the Tang Dynasty. If there is an enemy invasion, it will be the first to be attacked there.

It can be said that this arrangement of the emperor is absolutely glamorous on the surface, but it is actually rotten to the end.

Not to mention King Wei, even Li Xin frowned when he heard this. He just wanted to keep his father away from the right and wrong nest of the capital, not to let him go to the west to eat sand.

At this time, Li Rong's secret report hadn't been sent out yet, so everyone didn't know that there might be a war in Longyou.

If he found out, Li Xin would definitely regret it and want to hack himself to death!

Before the emperor could finish his words, he dropped another bombshell, "...the empress dowager is old, and the king of Yong'an County and the Duke of Pingyuan County stayed in Beijing to serve the empress dowager and act filial piety on behalf of the king of Wei..."

After all, the emperor asked King Wei hypocritically, "Si Lang has always been filial. After you leave Beijing, the empress dowager will be the most difficult thing to let go of."

The king of Wei almost spat out his old blood. The emperor had already forced him to this point, but he still couldn't say no to it——

Not going to Longyou?

How to do that, the court has a decree that the prince must become a vassal when he becomes an adult.And the so-called "Jiufan" is not to go to the domain to be the boss, but to take the title of governor and become the prince of leisure.

Now his good emperor brother, in order to 'take care' of him, does not allow him to be the governor of a state, but the head of eighteen governors. ah.

Don't leave behind the only second son?

How can that be done, the word filial piety is as big as the sky, how dare he say in front of all the officials that he will not allow his son to stay and perform filial piety on behalf of his father?

But if he agrees, then, then he is too useless, and there is no possibility of turning over, and he will always stay in the west to herd sheep, feed horses, and eat sand in the future.

And his cronies and confidants will also be cut off by the emperor one by one.

At that time, he would be better off than dead!

He didn't even want to think about such a scene. Wei Wang's body shook slightly, his face turned pale. At this moment, he was really in a dilemma, wishing to fall to the ground and pass out.

Seeing this, the high-ranking emperor was secretly pleased, but he still put on a friendly look, and said in an intimate tone of "good brother": "How is it? What's wrong with Shiro? If you have any requests, just ask , as long as it does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty or the moral rules, I will allow it!"

When King Wei heard this, a light flashed in his chaotic brain, and he finally had a solution, saying: "Since the sage said so, I really have a request, I hope the sage will grant it."

The emperor was stunned for a moment. What he said just now was just to 'add fuel to the fire' and he didn't mean it. Now that King Wei really had a request, he couldn't help but raised his heart and asked, "Oh? What's the matter? ? But it doesn't matter!"

The King of Wei grinned, and said coolly: "Just now the sage said about the procuratorial envoy, I only remembered one thing... I have the final say on the governors of the eighteen prefectures under the rule of Longyou?"

The emperor was a little terrified by Wei Wang's smile, but he still nodded slowly.

The king of Wei smiled brighter, and gave the answer directly: "Well, I am not familiar with the officials on Longyou side, and it is not easy for people I am not familiar with. How about this, I will directly choose a governor from the capital. , go to the post with me?"

Some officials in the court, especially the officials who are of high rank to be governors, especially those who are the former prince's confidants and the current emperor's confidantes, all of them changed their expressions.

Wouldn't it be what they thought?

No, although I really want to be the governor, I really want to be a feudal official and take charge of the region, but, but the place in Longyou is really not a good place!

Thinking in my heart, my eyes have quietly aimed at the emperor, full of begging.

The emperor also reacted, and secretly regretted in his heart: Damn it, let Shiro plan again, this brat, he really never forgets to disgust himself.

King Wei glanced across the dozen or so pale-faced 'upstarts', smiled contemptuously, and said to himself: What are you afraid of?Useless idiots, I don't bother to take care of people like you who want it.

After a long time, the King of Wei almost fainted from seeing those people, before he said: "Cui Youbo from Zhongshushe is very capable, and he is also a relative of my own family, so I will take him along."

The emperor's eyes widened, what, this kid actually took a fancy to Su Chun, how can this work?
Su Chun is his confidant, although he has been with Ding You these few months, he has given him advice a lot.Also, Su Chun is going to be a filial piety in two months, and I have already reserved an excellent position for him, how can I let him go to Longyou?

But just now he had already finished his words, and now suddenly...

Wait, the emperor remembered something, relaxed his tense nerves, and said with a slight reprimand: "...Wen Zhonggong (referring to Cui Shouren) has been gone for less than a year, and Cui Sheren is still keeping his filial piety. How can he go to Longyou with you? How about this, you choose another one."

King Wei curled his lips, and said: "I can trust the Cui family boy... His filial piety is still two months away, so I will wait for him, anyway, there is no one in Longyou!"

A day is a day, and Wei Wang felt that two months was enough for him to come up with a way to fight back.

Damn, it turned out that this kid had this idea.The villain in the emperor's heart started to jump again, trying to make excuses to delay, but there was no way!

The emperor kept his face stern, and said with some displeasure: "This is a major political event, how can you be joking? Li Tai, I order you to set off for Shanzhou within ten days. There will be no mistakes."

After all, the emperor felt that his tone was a little blunt, and he tried to persuade gently: "Silang, I trust you, so I let you go to Longyou to be an inspector and disposer. Don't let brother down. Of course, if you think The officials in Longyou are not familiar with them, which is not conducive to government affairs, I promise you to bring two or three capable 'assistants' there."

I have given permission to your own confidants, so don't push yourself too far!The emperor muttered secretly.

In the end, unexpectedly, the king of Wei really fell for it, insisting that Cui Youbo go to be the governor with him.Of course, in order not to embarrass the emperor, he generously stated that he could go to Longyou first, and Cui Youbo would immediately set off to follow after his filial piety expired.

After some haggling, the brothers finally reached an agreement.The king of Wei went to Longyou Road to be the first inspector and disposition envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Youbo Tongxie, two months later, was immediately promoted to be the governor as soon as the filial piety period expired.

Cui Youbo and his wife, who got the news, looked at each other speechlessly, and smiled wryly in their hearts: This official's promotion is too ridiculous, too bizarre...
