[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

It was the 21st year of Zaiyou, Tang Yan, Prince of Linchuan County, was 14 years old, His Sixth Highness Tang Dai was eight years old, and His Seventh Highness Tang Yu was five years old.

The crown prince is undecided.

Even if Tang Yu had no political awareness before his rebirth, and had listened to politics behind the screen of the Jinshen Palace for three or four years, his understanding of the official position system of the Jin Dynasty can be regarded as a glimpse of the leopard.

From ringing bells, missionaries, animal fat-scented perfume, firecrackers... Small clues are connected in series to conclude that this is a parallel time and space similar to the Ming Dynasty in the previous life.Ming Tai/Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system to monopolize power, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di set up a cabinet to firmly hold the decision-making power of the empire. The Command and Envoy Division is in charge of administration, justice and military affairs.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet drafted political proposals, and the emperor, one of the [-] supervisors of the Ming Dynasty, approved the redemption, and finally handed it over to the six ministries for proofreading and administration—thus forming a power check and balance between the civil servant group and the eunuch group, and avoiding the cabinet. dominant.

The official position system of the Jin Dynasty was indeed similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. There was no cabinet, and the powers of the left and right ministers were quite restrictive.

The emperor lives on top, and the two prime ministers live on the left and right, almost forming a triangle.If you are steady, you will be steady, and if you are too steady, you will have a stick of glue, and there is no way to change it.

For example, should the position of crown prince be vacant?No, it should be established, who should be established?

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were all people with sharp eyesight, and they had already seen that the emperor and Xiao Shen were interested in the Sixth Highness Tang Dai.Tang Dai's biological father was the younger brother of the emperor, but Wang Jue was demoted to the rank of county king, because he and Yan Huaixin disagreed in politics, and before leaving the capital, Yan Huaixin instigated several censors to impeach him. .Although Yan Huaixin retired to the field, the eldest son Yan Xun, as a high-ranking and powerful right minister, was deeply scheming and thoughtful. He felt that although Tang Dai was young, if he really ascended the throne as emperor, he might have to settle the old scores for his biological father someday.

Yan Xun bet on Tang Yan, Prince of Linchuan County.Tang Yan's biological father, King Shou, was enfeoffed in southern Yunnan, which is not considered a land of fertile water and soil, but the winding mountain roads are full of miasma.Tang Yan was already ten years old when he was adopted by the emperor. He knew who his biological parents were.Shou Wang is far away in southern Yunnan, and there is no old department in Yanjing. Tang Yan and Shou Wang Concubine live alone in Ganquan Palace. Orphans and widowed mothers are the most vulnerable, and occasionally give some hints to show their favor, so they are naturally obedient.

Every time the reserve was discussed, Xiao Shen and Yan Xun would argue endlessly in the palace.How fierce was the dispute between the two of them, the decision-making power was in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor could just say a word-how could it be so simple?Whenever the emperor had a slight bias towards the Tang Dynasty, the Six Divisions gave the remonstrances that were rejected by the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the matter, and the words must be called "the king of Linchuan County is the leader, and the prince is the leader", or She shamelessly talked about Tang Dai's biological father's bad record the size of a sesame seed when he was demoted to the county king.

The sixth division gave Shizhong and the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also known as the Yanguan—literally, the official who opened his mouth to speak.The official position is not high, and the power is not small. The six subjects give advice to the emperor, and sometimes even refute the emperor's will.

The original intention of the Yanguan system was good.People are not sages, no one can do anything wrong, the emperor has lived in the forbidden palace for a long time, and his knowledge of people's livelihood comes from the memorials of the courtiers. If he knows little about it, it is inevitable that his will is wrong; , I have to see how many mouths I have grown, and whether it is enough to refute my innocence with the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It's a pity that among the officials, there are many people who stick to their positions and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There is an undercurrent of party disputes in the court, and officials who seek their own way out must choose the best and seek refuge.The Yan family in Jinling is a distinguished family. After more than [-] years of inheritance, famous Confucian scholars and scholars are all over the world.Yan Xun supported Tang Yan, and the officials who were in the same camp as him compared each other, citing ancestors' etiquette and law to uphold orthodox justice.

If the emperor insisted on establishing Tang Dai as the heir apparent, the officials would write a memorial about the lack of assistance, tremblingly take off the black gauze hat, and ask for rebuke.If the emperor fulfilled him, the Zhongshu Sheren, who was in charge of daily life notes, would put on the hat of "narrow-minded and arbitrary" on the emperor, one by one, and the accumulation of time and time would inevitably leave stains on the history.

Left Prime Minister Xiao Shen's subordinates also supported the officials and got involved, but it was another never-ending quarrel.

The storage position is therefore vacant to this day.

All in all, either Li Tang Yan or Tang Dai, Tang Yan, the Seventh Highness who was raised in the Central Palace, has fulfilled the role of "cannon fodder"-her existence is joked to be like a sword to ward off evil in Weiyang Palace. The adopted son of the clan either died of poisoning or suddenly contracted smallpox, and the relationship between the emperor and empress gradually eased.

Lazy, not always able to sleep.

In the morning of the next day, when the queen combed Tang Yu's hair into a bun, Tang Ying repeated his old tricks, lingering in her arms and refusing to move.The queen heard that she was acting like a baby, so she didn't take it seriously, she just smiled: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, and you don't have to go to Jinshen Palace. I will wait for your father to find you to ask questions."

□□Naked threats!Tang Yu curled his lips: "Don't...the emperor's anger is very strong recently, how dare the ministers slack off to make him unhappy." The late queen passed away for nearly seven years, and the temple name has been settled for a long time. The emperor dreamed of the late queen many times, which made his heart If you miss it, you have to discuss the temple name again.Several censors spoke out and dared to remonstrate, offending Longlin, the emperor was annoyed, and ordered the imperial staff to kill those who were beaten to death, and those who were crippled.Although she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she panicked just thinking about the bruised and bruised scene. She didn't know that her father was so cruel before, so she couldn't help feeling timid.

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yu suddenly felt that she was turned over, and when she woke up, she was lying on the queen's lap, and she looked up at the queen blankly.The smile on the corners of the Queen's lips did not fade, but she raised her hand and patted her butt lightly: "Don't dare to offend the Emperor Father, and you have to lie in my arms every morning to act like a baby, is that bullying the Queen Mother?"

The queen's hand was extremely light, almost brushing the cloth lightly. Tang Yi lay on the queen's lap and stayed there for a while.Immediately, blood surged up, her face was as red as the sunset in the sky, she stared at the gold-embroidered quilt in front of her, she was so shy that she wanted to bury her little head deep in the ground - it was a shame to be spanked by the queen mother in this position...

"Does it hurt?" The queen looked down at her, seeing that she was blushing and hesitating and unable to speak, she frowned slightly, and wanted to take off her snow-white panties to have a look.

Her fingertips were icy cold, touching the skin on the edge of the obscene trousers, causing Tang Yu to tremble all over, and hurriedly reached back to stop the queen: "No, no, it hurts...it's very comfortable..."

The queen wondered: "Very comfortable?"

Tang Yu was so panicked that his tongue got stuck, and he didn't know where "very comfortable" came from, so he simply avoided it.She turned around like a top, got into the quilt and shrank into a small ball, and the voice came out softly: "Mother, don't tease Erchen...Erchen is thin-skinned..."

Is the teasing true, thin-skinned?All day long, she clings to her like a mud monkey, and she can't break it apart, so she is thin-skinned.

The queen smiled lightly and shook her head, sat down for a few minutes, pulled the quilt off and coaxed her: "Okay, the queen mother will not tease you. Come out quickly, and be careful not to get sick."

The quilt was warm, and the temperature of Tang Yu's cheeks rose accordingly. He grabbed the quilt and struggled, refusing to come out.

The queen lowered her voice: "Xiao Qi, come out."

The empress always spoke with her in a gentle voice, if her voice was low, it would create a serious atmosphere for no reason.Tang Xi likes that the queen dotes on her, but also likes the queen's occasional sternness. She understands very well that only true relatives will point out your shortcomings and encourage you to grow up, even if you know that you may hold grudges against her because of it.

After a while, Tang Yu came out rustlingly, and the queen thought it was funny when she saw her awkward appearance, rubbed her head and hugged her, called Gong'e into the palace to change clothes and wash, and said to her: "Where are you going?" The children in my family were beaten in Xiaowei? Why are you ashamed of this? Sweat is all over your forehead, and if you don’t wipe it off, you will suffer from the wind and cold after drinking medicine.”

It's not because of this shyness... Tang Yan bit his finger, but heard the maids who entered the palace cover their mouths and chuckle - spread the word, and everyone in Weiyang Palace must know that she was spanked by the queen mother.Tang Yi tilted his head and buried it in the queen's chest, his face was no longer red, and his earlobes were red.

The queen took the warm towel to wipe her sweat. Seeing her like this, she raised her head and glanced at Gong'e, but her eyes were so calm that they fell silent for a moment.Without her ordering, because the "thin-skinned" Seventh Prince was beaten up in bed, the servants of Weiyang Palace naturally kept their mouths shut, and easily protected the "thin-skinned" Seventh Prince's "thin" face like a city wall.

The Wenhua Hall is located in the east of the imperial city. When it was first established, it was the residence of the prince before Jianzuo, and it also gave lectures and held affairs.The roofs of the palaces in the imperial city are all covered with yellow glazed tiles, but the Wenhua Palace is different.According to the theory of yin and yang and five elements, the east belongs to wood, and wood means verdant vegetation and vigorous growth.

The master who gave the lecture, Shang Zan, was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, a first-ranked scholar, and he was in the year of Ershun, with high morals and high prestige.On this day, he led several officials from the Hanlin Academy meandering over from a distance, and when they approached, he suddenly heard a childish voice: "Students took leave yesterday due to business and delayed their studies. I apologize for this. I hope you will understand me."

Since leaving the pavilion to study, Tang Yu would personally apologize to Shang Zan every time he asked for leave the next day.Or due to business or illness, absenteeism is a waste of the master's painstaking efforts in preparing lessons. Although the difference between sending someone to make an apology and personally apologizing is only two words, the difference is very big.Xu Shi is a daughter of an aristocratic family, and she attaches great importance to etiquette. She has repeatedly taught Tang Yu to respect the teacher and respect the way, not to be arrogant.

Tang Yu transferred his attendants to a distance, and stood at the corner waiting for Shang Zan. She was not tall enough, and it was obvious that she would be easily overlooked if she was not surrounded by palace people.Hearing the sound, Shang Zan knew people, he hurriedly helped Tang Yuxu who was leaning over to perform the teacher-student ceremony, twisted his goatee and said concernedly: "Your Highness, is your body safe? The spring is cold, don't be greedy for the cold and get sick."

The image of Tang Yu being delicate and weak and prone to diseases has been deeply planted in Shang Zan's mind, how did Shang Zan know that she slept in the Weiyang Palace until the sun was shining before getting up.Tang Yu and Shang Zan walked side by side, took care of the elderly, slowed down their pace, and replied smoothly: "Mr. is very caring and caring. He is already well. Although Mr. is in good spirits, he still needs to add or remove clothes according to the season."

Shang Zan claims to be a scholar of Confucianism, and he has no intention of being a scholar in the imperial court. If he hadn't been salivating at the vast collection of books in Wenyuan Pavilion, he would have chosen a mountain forest, plum, wife, and crane to live in seclusion.The partisan dispute between the left and the right ministers, the dispute between the crown prince and the country, and even the "foreign relatives' chaos in politics" that became rampant due to the unprovoked deaths of several princes a few years ago... To him, it is just a cloud of smoke that disappears when he closes his eyes That's all.

He likes people who study knowledge, and he is especially happy with people who study knowledge and are polite.Tang Zhi's three or two words coaxed him to laugh, his kind and kind face was full of smile lines, and he did not hesitate to praise her while asking if the homework that had been left behind was completed, and two people, one big and one small, walked towards the main hall.
