A Thousand Hills

Chapter 360

If the imperial palace is the first center of power in the imperial capital, then over the years, Su Xiangfu should be the second center of power in the imperial capital.Since Emperor Mu Yuan was in power, he trusted this courtier who had been favored by Princess Fusheng. In fact, many people wondered how Su Mo had been loved by Emperor Mu Yuan for many years after gaining the trust of Princess Fusheng.Many people even suspected that Su Mo must have been the traitor that Emperor Mu Yuan placed beside Fu Sheng. He had made great efforts for Emperor Mu Yuan to bring down Princess Fu Sheng.

This kind of speculation once occupied the top spot in the unofficial history list.

But in fact, Unshi's persecution paranoia is really too big a brain, and Su Xiang is really a person who is focused on doing practical things.Therefore, Fu Sheng used him, and after Fu Sheng, Emperor Mu Yuan also used him.

The life of this generation of celebrities is not as complicated as Brain Hole imagined.

Su Xiang originally lived in a three-entry mansion, which was too crude compared to the first minister of a country. Although Su Xiang himself didn't think so, he felt that his own house was enough without his children and grandchildren around.Later, Emperor Mu Yuan couldn't see it, so he gave him this five-entry mansion.The house is very big, but it's not very grand, and of course, it's not simple either.Su Xiang's aesthetic is simplicity, not simplicity.His life is simple and simple, but not shabby.

After coming out of Prime Minister Su's bedroom, Mu Yanchun tried his best to comfort Su Bu with a few words, so that Xia Qingcheng was born in Prime Minister Su's mansion, and he went back to the palace first after he made a diagnosis and treatment for Prime Minister Su.

Su Xiang was seriously ill, and Mu Yanchun was in a very bad mood.

Xie Moru also has no words of persuasion, medicine can cure the disease, Prime Minister Su has reached his limit, and no one can do it.However, Xie Moru didn't expect it to be so fast, and in the evening, Su Buyu handed in the letter of filial piety and resignation.

Mu Yanchun grieved in his heart, and thanked Moru, "Su Xiang and the late emperor lived a lifetime together. It is really a good story. Now that the monarch and his ministers have passed away one after another, it cannot be said that it was God's will. Su Xiang continued to serve the late emperor in the sky. Don't be too sad, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Propaganda and Rituals should come over and draft Prime Minister Su's posthumous name first. Also, I heard that the late emperor left a tomb for Prime Minister Su next to the mausoleum, and he wanted to order Prime Minister Su to accompany the mausoleum."

Mu Yanchun said, "Tomorrow, I will personally go to sacrifice to Prime Minister Su."

"That's good too."

Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also an official in the cabinet, and the important ministers in the court naturally know about Su Xiang's serious illness. After Su Xiang fell ill, Qin Shangshu often went to visit him.Even though he knew about the emperor's visit to Su's mansion today, although he knew about it later, he knew that it was really bad for Prime Minister Su, otherwise, His Majesty would not have come in person.At that time, Qin Shangshu felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, although the death of Prime Minister Su meant that there would be a vacancy for the chief assistant of the cabinet, the empire would inevitably produce a new chief assistant.Qin Shangshu was not without ambitions, but when Su Xiangshi really failed, he didn't have much joy, only a kind of regret and sadness from his colleagues for many years.After Qin Shangshu knew that the emperor had gone to the Su residence, he drew up several posthumous titles in his heart, all of which were excellent posthumous titles. After all, Prime Minister Su worked hard all his life, and the people of the Manchu Dynasty saw it.Although there were many people who wanted to work hard instead of Su Xiang, none of them failed.In Su Xiang's life, alas, even his political opponents couldn't say a word.

Summoned by the emperor, Qin Shangshu hurriedly went to Zhaode Hall, thinking that there was something urgent.But Mu Yanchun ordered the servant to hand him a piece of writing, and said, "I have already drawn up Prime Minister Su's posthumous posthumous title. Let the cabinet draw up an edict."

Qin Shangshu knew that Su Xiang would fail, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he was a little dazed and speechless for a moment.Seeing him like this, Mu Yanchun couldn't help feeling sad again, and sighed, "I'll lose a piece of my arm when Prime Minister Su leaves!"

Only then did Qin Shangshu come back to his senses, and choked up, "This, this, minister, I really didn't expect it. It was fine yesterday, but Su Xiang went like this." He also shed tears for a while, and then persuaded the emperor with sobs After a few words, he went to draft the decree with the posthumous title written by the emperor himself.

When he returned to the cabinet, Qin Shangshu's tears had been dried by the wind, but when he saw the cabinet members, Qin Shangshu couldn't help crying again, calling Tang Shangshu of the household department, and Wei Xueshi, the academician of the Imperial Academy, sobbing. , "Old Tang, Lao Wei, Prime Minister Su, let's go."

The cabinet also knew that Su Xiang had been ill for a few days, but they didn't expect him to pass away so quickly, and everyone couldn't help but look sad.

After being grateful to the old Xiangye for a while, Qin Shangshu unfolded the imperial pen, and everyone saw the word "Wen Zhong".

Thinking about the country and forgetting the family is called loyalty, being honest and honest is called loyalty, promoting the virtuous and being sincere is called loyalty, being moderate and capable of responding to others is called loyalty, being broad and just is called loyalty, and being honest and loyal is called loyalty.The word "Wen Zhong" is really the greatest affirmation and praise for Wen Chen in his life.

Wei Xueshi said, "This is the only posthumous posthumous title worthy of Prime Minister Su."

Tang Shangshu also deeply thinks so.

With such a beautiful posthumous posthumous title, Qin Shangshu didn't even need an assistant to write it for him. He wrote it himself and used what he had learned in his life to write the imperial decree for the Su family.

After putting down the pen, Qin Shangshu checked it carefully, and couldn't help but twirled his gray beard and thought, today I am drafting the decree for Su Xiang, who will be the one who will be drafting the decree for me in the future?
Sighing, Qin Shangshu's old heart, which had been tossed in the political arena all his life, couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

Not only did Su Xiang get the best praise from civil servants in his life, the emperor also went to worship in person, gave the Su family five thousand silver for the funeral, and also gave the funeral paper horse and so on, which made Su Xiang even more honored after his death. peak.For a while, the Su family was also busy.The Su family didn't want to make a big funeral, but most of the Su family's children were officials outside.It was Su Buyu who was guarding Su Xiang and his wife in the imperial capital, and Su Buyu was only the third son, and he was a concubine. He had to wait for his elder brother to come back before he could attend the funeral.Moreover, Su Xiang was also involved in the matter of accompanying the mausoleum, which made Su Xiang's funeral more elaborate.

At this point, I have to say one more thing. Emperor Mu Yuan really loved Su Xiang from the bottom of his heart. When he built the imperial mausoleum, he whispered to Su Xiang, "I asked Qin Tianjian to choose a good place for you. Afterwards, Qing and Zhen will still be together." To be honest, Emperor Mu Yuan never cared so much for his three empresses.Of course, the queen doesn't have to build the mausoleum alone, anyway, she will be buried with Emperor Mu Yuan.

After Prime Minister Su left, all the children in his branch had to resign from their posts and observe filial piety. The sons lived for three years, and the grandchildren lived for one year. In this way, there were a number of vacancies, especially Su Yan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Su, who was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the second son. Su Yu is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Su Buyu is not a small official, he is the minister of the Ministry of punishment.As soon as these three people left, there would be two vacancies for the chief officials of Fengjiang, and the servant of the Ministry of punishment had to make another appointment here.

It is inevitable that there will be another power struggle between the DPRK and China.

The most important thing is that once Prime Minister Su leaves, the chief assistant cannot be left alone.

Among the members of the cabinet, who would not be tempted by the position of chief assistant?

First of all, some people guessed that Mu Yanchun would support his old man in the palace.

Zhang Xue, who first followed Mu Yanchun as the chief historian of the palace, and later served as the chief and deputy Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, is now one of them is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also known as the Heavenly Official, was not in the cabinet because of his excessive power.Therefore, Zhang Shangshu sat on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which means that there is no hope of entering the cabinet in this life.Of course, if Zhang Shangshu is willing to give up the official department, then it will be another matter.But who the hell would give up the official minister who just got it?Besides, if Zhang Shangshu gave up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, could he be sure of this first assistant?Is there no one in the cabinet who is easy to get along with?

Besides, Xue Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also just took up the position of Shangshu.You know, being a minister and joining the cabinet are two different things.Just like Xie Lao Shangshu before, the position of Shangshu under his butt was about to get callused, and Emperor Mu Yuan didn't ask him to join the cabinet.It was later that the cabinet was changed several times before it was called Xie Laoshangshu's cabinet.The same is true for Xue Shangshu now. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and has not yet joined the cabinet. Therefore, he does not have the strength to compete for the first assistant.

But, but, whether Xue Shangshu can enter the cabinet or not, but entering the cabinet is only a matter of Mu Yanchun's words.

However, anyway, Xue Shangshu is still outside the cabinet, and the new emperor did not say the words of joining the cabinet, so Xue Shangshu is not eligible to run for the chief assistant.

Then, apart from Zhang Xue, who are not qualified to compete for the chief assistant for the time being, everyone in the cabinet has extraordinary qualifications.First of all, Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, this Shangshu is not a bright new monarch party. When he took over the Ministry of Rites, the prince in charge of the Ministry of Rites was the sixth prince of the former emperor.However, Qin Shangshu's ability to take over the Ministry of Rites was the result of Mu Yanchun's good words in front of the late emperor. Therefore, although the two monarchs and ministers did not have time to cultivate some personal friendship.However, it is quite related.You must know that the Ministry of Rites is the yamen that Mu Yanchun has been in charge of for the longest time. Although the two of them lack personal friendship, the relationship between Mu Yanchun and the Ministry of Rites has always been good over the years. He has always been able to talk in the Ministry of Rites.It is true that Qin Shangshu also gave Mu Yanchun some help in the open and in the dark, so Mu Yanchun's perception of Qin Shangshu is also good.Secondly, Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, this old Shangshu has more seniority than Qin Shangshu, but his health makes people worry. The four princes have mentioned it to Mu Yanchun before. The old man seems to have the intention of becoming an official, but For some reason, as soon as Prime Minister Su died and the position of chief assistant became vacant, the old man became full of energy!The sick leave is also cancelled, and the body is recovering, but the gray hair is also dyed black.Yes, it's definitely dyed.Mu Yanchun whispered to his wife, "Old Shangshu Yan has returned to his old age. When I saw it this morning, I was shocked by that shiny black beard." Xie Moru also laughed when he heard it. The pursuit of the whole life is nothing more than the position of chief assistant, since there is an opportunity, Old Shangshu Yan certainly hopes to give it a go."

Mu Yanchun said, "He is a bit old, and his health was not very good at first. I'm worried that he won't be able to survive."

Xie Moru said, "The cabinet originally consisted of seven people. In addition to Prime Minister Su as the head and assistant, there are five more ministers and Wei Xueshi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Among the five ministers, Xue Shangshu, the new minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has not yet had time to join the cabinet. Even if you enter the cabinet, your qualifications are not enough to compete for the position of chief assistant, so your majesty will wait until the chief assistant is confirmed before letting Xue Shangshu enter the cabinet." Otherwise, if Xue Shangshu enters the cabinet at this time, I am afraid that the cabinet members will Thinking about it.

"I think so too." Mu Yanchun had courtiers he was used to, and courtiers with deep feelings, but apart from Zhan Shifu and the old people from the previous palace, these people in the court could not be left out in the cold.Otherwise, if you only use the old man, you will be cold like Qin Shangshu and others.Therefore, from the very beginning, Mu Yanze did not intend to let Xue Shangshu be the head and assistant.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War is the Marquis of Yong'an. Needless to say, Marquis of Yong'an, he certainly didn't intend to be the chief assistant. And Bachelor Wei, who is in charge of the academy, was promoted after mourning the prince's suicide. Now he has only been in the cabinet for three years and has insufficient qualifications. The rest , is nothing more than Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Tang Shangshu of the Ministry of Households." Xie Moru said, "Tang Shangshu 67, Qin Shangshu 68, and Yan Shangshu [-]. The three are not young, but after all, they will last a lifetime You will not be too young to be a minister in the cabinet. Veteran ministers are stable, even if they don't have the vigor of young people, they still have the stability that young people don't have."

"These three people, if you want to say that they are close, they are Tang Shangshu, not to mention, at the beginning in Fujian, and later in Jiangnan, he was always by His Majesty's side to assist His Majesty. Yan and Qin are late." Xie Moru said, "If Your Majesty wants to support Tang Shangshu, Yan and Qin have no choice but to resign."

Mu Yanchun also knows this kind of cabinet tradition. The chief minister is the oldest one in the cabinet. Seniority does not mean age, but the time when he joined the cabinet. You are early, even if it is only one day earlier, the two of you are the ones who arrived early and have the most senior qualifications.But at the same time, if someone with less seniority comes from behind and becomes the first assistant, then the senior one will generally resign, not for anyone else, and cannot stand in front of the first assistant.Of course, like Li Jun in the past, he was in and out of the cabinet twice. Although he was ranked seventh in the cabinet when he entered the cabinet for the second time, because of his two-in and two-out experience, he can still speak in the cabinet. .

Now that Prime Minister Su is gone, Mu Yanchun wanted to choose one of Qin and Tang, but suddenly Yan Shangshu played this trick of rejuvenation... Mu Yanchun said again, "I don't know if Old Shangshu Yan can hold on." You have to live."

Xie Moru smiled, "For civil servants, even if they only serve as the chief assistant for one day, it is good. Besides, maybe when this happy event comes, Yan Shangshu will be in good spirits, and he may work to eighty. Your Majesty does not have to consider whether Yan Shangshu can support him or not. If he can hold it, since he is in the cabinet, he can hold it. Even if he can't hold it, the cabinet will have a second assistant."

Mu Yanchun wanted to consider the overall situation, so he ordered Yan Shangshu.

After Yan Shangshu became the first assistant, Mu Yanchun ordered Xue Shangshu to join the cabinet.

This move, full of confidence.

Even Qin and Tang, who were about to make a move for the chief assistant position, couldn't say anything else, but they couldn't help but secretly scold Yan Shangshu for being treacherous, and the guy who was half-dead and kept saying that he was going to be an official, this time he chose the first assistant, and he didn't mention the word of becoming an official It's gone, and the old illness will heal itself without medicine.Especially when he won the position of chief assistant, old man Yan seemed to be more than 20 years younger.Qin and Tang were depressed, so they made up two jokes for old man Yan, one is: It is said that Yan Xiang eats breakfast, and it is white porridge, and when he bows his head, the porridge suddenly turns black.why?Yan Xiang didn't pay attention when eating, and his beard fell into the porridge, which stained the porridge black. .The other is: Do you know what Yan Xiang does when he wakes up every morning?Have a meal?wrong!Freshen up?wrong!What's that?Give the old cucumber green paint.

Yan Xiang is not afraid of people laughing, anyway, he is the chief assistant, so he likes to laugh.It was as if he was the only one who did the job of painting the old cucumber green. Who didn't know that Qin Shangshu took Shouwu decoction all the year round to preserve his appearance, so he was almost seventy, and his hair was not too gray Just wisps, a beard is still black.Thinking of this, Yan Xiang felt a little envious when he was stroking his black beard. At the same time, he felt that he was living too honestly, and he should have learned to take care of his body earlier, so that he could contribute more to the court!There is also Tang Shangshu, who carries a small bottle of fairy ointment on his body at all times. Whenever he washes his face and hands, he must apply some. I don’t know what the formula is for that thing. Just one swipe, the wrinkles are stretched and the skin becomes better Yes, Tang Shangshu will be five years younger immediately.Yan Xiang had the urge to inquire about the formula because of the commotion.

Compared with Qin and Tang, Yan Shangshu felt that he just dyed his hair and beard, he was simply too simple, didn't he!

Yan Xiang became the first assistant, and it is reasonable to remove the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry. No one else needs to mention it. Yan Xiang himself raised the matter with Mu Yanchun. Mu Yanchun asked him who is suitable to replace the minister, and Yan Xiang recommended After a few people, Mu Yanchun appointed Qiu Shan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, to take over.Yan Xiangxin was very happy, and he also asked Qiu Shan, the left servant.However, Mu Yanchun appointed Li Jiujiang to take over as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.Although Yan Xiang's face remained unchanged, he knew in his heart that the new king's methods should not be underestimated.

Mu Yanchun nominated Zuo Shilang Qiu Shan to take over the position of minister, in fact, he meant to support the prime minister.Mu Yanchun understood that once Prime Minister Su left, Prime Minister Yan would definitely not be in danger of Prime Minister Su, so Dian Qiushan became Minister, and after entering the cabinet, he would be Prime Minister Yan's helper.As for putting Li Jiujiang in the Ministry of Industry, it was also Mu Yanchun's imperial mind.When the new king ascends the throne, he just blindly acts as a good old man without any means.

After deciding on the candidates for the Minister of Industry, the two monarchs and ministers discussed the candidates for the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu and the governor-general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the end, Zhu Yan, the governor of Fujian, was transferred to take over the governor-general of Shaanxi-Gansu, and the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was promoted to the governor-general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.In addition, Du Zhi, who was in charge of Jingjiang port affairs, took over the vacancy left by Su Buyu as the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, and Ouyang Jing took over the Jingjiang imperial envoy that Du Zhi vacated.Of course, for the vacated positions of governor of Fujian and governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, competent officials must be arranged.

Mu Yanchun has almost arranged the people, and the descendants of the Su family have returned to the imperial capital in a hurry. It is inevitable that there will be another heartbreak.Su Xiang, a conscientious old scalper, has done his best to the court and his children and grandchildren all his life.Most of the children and grandchildren are not around, so the relationship between the children and grandchildren is relatively harmonious, and there are few trivial conflicts like ordinary big families.In particular, in recent years, those who are officials and those who study are far away, and they have not been able to show filial piety to their fathers and grandparents. Now that their fathers and grandparents are gone, how can their children and grandchildren feel better.What's more, this father and grandfather is still the chief assistant of the dynasty.So, from top to bottom, the Su family was really sad!

Su Yan couldn't help but asked the third younger brother Su Buyu what his father had said before he was alive. Su Xiang was a very understanding person, so he left a letter for his eldest son, and Su Buyu took it out to his elder brother.Su Yan was also in his fifties and sixties, and when he saw his father's handwriting, he burst into tears again.

When the Su family was in mourning, Mu Yanchun condemned Dalang to send him over there, so that Prime Minister Su could be buried in the imperial mausoleum with him, so that he could enjoy royal incense every year.

The emperor condemned the prince to see him off, not to mention the rest of the officials.Yan Xiang said with emotion, "Su Xiangzhen is a role model for my generation."

Qin Shangshu has sympathies in his heart, being the head and assistant in life, and accompanying the imperial mausoleum in death, the ultimate life of a civil servant, Su Xiang has done it perfectly.Qin Shangshu followed up with his feelings and discussed with Yan Xiang, "This year, the first year of your Majesty's ascension to the throne, it is necessary to continue to use the title of the former emperor. Next year, it is time to choose a new emperor. Besides, your majesty will be crowned, and it is reasonable to start A Kornko."

Yan Xiang said, "Very true."

After the funeral of the Su family was over, the whole family packed up and went back to their hometown to observe mourning.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Mu Yanchun and Xie Moru moved to the palace. Fengyi Palace was the queen's residence. In fact, the emperor also had his own residence. Like Emperor Mu Yuan, he usually lived in the Xuanwen Palace behind the Zhaode Palace.Mu Yanchun didn't ask anyone to set up another residence in Xuanwen Hall, he continued to use his father's imperial study, and his residence was set up in Fengyi Palace, which he has always done, and he would not set up another residence by himself in the East Palace in the palace.

In Fengyi Palace, all the things used by Empress Su were basically changed. Xie Moru has Xie Moru's aesthetics. Moreover, if the utensils and decorations of Empress Su are still used, the emperor will be hurt.In particular, Empress Su is not considered dead.

After Emperor Mu Yuan passed away, there was no music to celebrate within a year. Therefore, even though the queen moved to the palace, there was no wine in the palace.However, the lord of the harem moved to the palace, even if there were no banquets and music, all the noble daughters of the clan, concubines of feudal lords, and wives from outside the palace also entered the palace to pay their respects, so the ostentation was quite grand.

Xie Moru sat on the phoenix seat, accepting greetings from concubines, princesses, princes, concubines and wives.

In fact, Xie Moru was not the only one who moved the palace today, there were also Su Shi, Xu Shi, Yu Shi, and Ling Xiao, all of whom had titles and residences.The Xu family named Concubine Xu Shu, the Yu family named Concubine Yu Xian, the Su family named An Zhaorong, and Ling Xiao named Gong Zhaorong.

Looking at the titles of these four people, one can see how stable Empress Xie's status is.

After everyone paid their respects, Xie Moru took everyone to the Palace of Mercy to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager survived the death of the late emperor, and under Xia Qingcheng's care, she can sit down now.For this reason, Xie Moru rewarded Xia Qingcheng once, so that he could treat the empress dowager's illness.

Ever since the death of her son, the Empress Dowager had lost her energy when she saw Xie Moru. After Xie Moru led the others to pay her respects, she twisted her mouth and said "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".Concubine Zhao Gui quickly wiped it off for the Empress Dowager, because the Empress Dowager always drools, and the skin on her chin is not getting better.Concubine Xie Gui smiled and said, "The old ancestor said that she was very happy when the queen came. Now the harem is busy, and it is all up to the queen to take care of it. The queen should go to work first, and come to talk to the old ancestor when she is free."

It's rare that Concubine Xie Gui is so clever, she speaks beautifully and thoughtfully.

Xie Moru said, "Since that's the case, I'll go first. I'll stay in the evening and come over to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Princess Wenkang brought Princess Changtai, Princess Yongfu, Princess Jin Cui, and Princess Qi Chu stayed in the Palace of Mercy to accompany Empress Dowager Hu.Xie Moru asked his daughters-in-law to stay, glanced at Mrs. Xin Cheng'en, and said, "Ma'am, let's stay too. The Empress Dowager is thinking about Cheng'en's mansion in the palace."

Mrs. Xin Cheng'en immediately agreed.

Then, Xie Moru returned to Fengyi Palace with the remaining concubines, princesses, princesses, vassals and concubines.

Staying in the evening, the female officer in the Mercy Palace specially came over and said that the queen mother had rested, and asked the queen to rest and take care of her body, so there is no need to go to pay her respects.Xie Moru carefully asked the female officer, what did the Empress Dowager eat this day, it was delicious.In fact, no matter what you eat now, you have to make it into a sauce, and even the porridge needs to be boiled rotten.But Xie Moru's meticulous attention to the daily life of the Charity Palace also made the female officer feel at ease.

Xie Moru not only cares about the daily life of the Charity Palace every day, but also what is enshrined in the palace, the Charity Palace will always be the first-class one.Xie Moru acted like this, no one in the palace or outside the palace would say something virtuous.After all, everyone knew what Queen Mother Hu did back then.Empress Xie is so open-minded, it can be said that she does not miss old evils.In this way, everyone said that the Queen is just stricter in rules and doesn't see those who don't observe etiquette, but she has a very good heart and a very virtuous person.Even Princess Wenkang also felt that Xie Moru might be a dull-tempered person, never different from others, but he had a good heart.

Xie Moru was not afraid of people's words at the beginning, and now he is not afraid of people's praise.

Unexpectedly, even Mu Yanchun joined in the fun, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Su was worried about us before he died, and told me to live up to you for the rest of my life."

Xie Moru was a little surprised, and asked, "This is what Prime Minister Su said on his deathbed."

"Yeah, the last time I went to see Su Xiang, he was like that, and he still doesn't trust us. When I think of this, I feel bad." Mu Yanchun said with a look of nostalgia for Su Xiang again.

Xie Moru: Prime Minister Su told you alone before he died, can you tell me?

They have been married for many years, but she still doesn't know that Mu Yanchun is actually a bald mouth. If Su Xiang knows it, she might not be able to rest her eyes in peace.But thinking of her husband even telling him this, Xie Moru couldn't help but feel a little happy, and told him, "Just tell me, don't tell others."

"I don't know." Mu Yanchun laughed, "Many people thought that what Prime Minister Su told me before his death was about the important affairs of the court. In fact, Prime Minister Su didn't mention the affairs of the court, that's what he said." , He also said with emotion, "All the children and grandchildren of the Su family have grown up over the years. Although there is a reason why Prime Minister Su served as the chief assistant, compared with Li Zhongnan and Beichang, the prosperity of the Su family is all because Prime Minister Su is a What a great understanding person. Cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family and governing the world, Su Xiang has done it all."

Xie Moru took the last sentence seriously.

Mu Yanchun discussed with Xie Moru again, "Father Huang discussed the marriage with Ximan earlier, although father passed away, Ximan came to the letter of credence again, saying that he would betroth the princess to me. I didn't have the heart. Why don't you point the princess to San Lang as a concubine, and San Lang's wife hasn't moved much these years." Mu Yanchun said, feeling a little anxious about the third daughter-in-law.

Xie Moru didn't like to hear this, and said, "I haven't moved in these years."

Mu Yanchun took it for granted, "Can she compare with you? I think Sanlang's wife is just an ordinary person. If she has your skills, I won't say anything."

Xie Mo laughed angrily, and punched him, "I can't see that you are still a watcher!"

Mu Yanchun smiled, "Just say what you say."

Xie Moru said, "Ximan wants to marry the princess into the harem, not any prince. Since the king of Ximan wants to continue the marriage with the court, the princess should come in and leave the harem. Give her a place to live. That's all. Sanlang, it's not easy to talk about the concubine at the moment. When the first emperor's filial piety comes next year, I will ask Sanlang's wife, and then I will ask Sanlang. If they want to wait, it's okay to wait, anyway, the young couple You are still young. If you want to take a concubine, you have to be a decent concubine, and you must be a well-bred girl from a good family."

Mu Yanchun also agreed with his wife's words, and also agreed with his wife's vision, and said, "You are so good to help them check."

Xie Moru agreed.

Had it not been for the funeral of Emperor Mu Yuan, Princess Heshun would have been married long ago.However, because of the funeral of Emperor Mu Yuan, Princess Heshun was promoted to a higher level and became Princess Heshun.Now that Ximan is bringing up the matter of marriage again, the marriage of Princess Heshun is already in sight.During these days in the court, although there was the funeral of Emperor Mu Yuan, Princess He Shunchang still learned a lot because of Xie Moru's care.Now that she is going to marry far away from the country, Princess Heshun specially went over to greet Xie Moru. After paying the ceremony, she talked about some homely gossip, and Princess Heshun said, "I am leaving, and the date of return is unpredictable. If I can get my mother to teach me a thing or two , it is enough for me to benefit from it.”

Xie Moru thought for a while, she knew the efforts of Princess Heshun these days, and Princess Heshun knew how to strive for success, Xie Moru didn't mind giving her some advice, after thinking about it, she said, "In Ximan, whenever, Keep yourself first. This is always the case.”

Princess Heshun listened carefully, and was pondering the true meaning of Empress Xie's words, so she heard Empress Xie continue, "Your identity was conferred by the late emperor. Remember, you are the princess of the court, the beloved daughter of the late emperor. Your Majesty's sister! Identity, dignity, life, when you understand these, I think, you can already gain a foothold in Ximan!"

Before the Double Ninth Festival, Princess He Shunchang married Ximan and started her new life from then on.
