Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 144

But even though Zuo Xiang slandered the eldest princess crazily in his heart, he was honest on the surface, as if he didn't have a single thing about Yan Zhaoge's third place in the Great Chaoyi.In fact, he really had no way to have an opinion, even the empress dowager or the empress dowager couldn't dictate to the emperor on the grand court ceremony.Regardless of whether the emperor is young or old, has real power or is emptied, at this moment he must be supreme.As long as you still have the idea of ​​maintaining the dynasty in your heart, you must keep silent about the emperor's arrangements at this time.Otherwise, once the emperor falls from his throne and loses that veil of mystery, the people below will no longer have the heart of awe.

The former Han Dynasty was destroyed three times, the first time the relatives controlled the change of the throne, the second time the powerful ministers controlled the change of the throne, abolished the emperor, poisoned and killed the abolished emperor, the third time the Huns broke their faith and broke the capital of the former Han Dynasty, but the emperor recognized the leader of the Huns in order to survive for uncle.This is all because the people below have seen clearly that the so-called emperor and the so-called son of heaven are nothing but individuals.

This is a lesson learned by the Jin Dynasty, so even though the emperor of the Jin Dynasty almost lost his face and had to flee south for a living, the courtiers and nobles still maintained the only remaining dignity for the royal family, and they were called Nanshou.

As for Yan Zhaoge, a young man with no hair on his mouth, who was ranked third in an imposing manner, although the courtiers were very dissatisfied, they could only accept it silently.Official titles can be ranked for various reasons. Ability, experience, age, and background are all influencing factors. Therefore, there are three gongs, nine ministers and six yamen, so there are grades. There are ten thousand stones and two thousand There are different salaries such as stone, real two thousand stone, etc., but there is only one thing that cannot be judged objectively, that is, the emperor's favor.

It is very common for the weak to bully the strong in court rituals. If the emperor likes a certain courtier, but the other party's official position is not high due to various reasons, this kind of thing will happen. Courtier, I am optimistic about this man.For this courtier, there are both advantages and disadvantages. He was appreciated by the emperor, but he was also regarded as a thorn in the side of other courtiers, but for the "strong" who was bullied, it was a huge bad thing.

There is a good example in today's Dajin Dynasty Hall, the current Taiwei.

The Taiwei was originally equal to the prime minister, one was the highest general and the other was the top civil servant.Since Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty abolished the Taiwei and set up another Chariot General, the Taiwei became a vacant position. Since then, most of the generals who do not command troops hold this position. These generals are often famous and famous, but when the imperial power falls, they become It has become the best position for powerful ministers to exercise power.After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the title of Taiwei was set up in vain, and the title of Taiwei became the highest honor given to military officers. If any general was transferred back to the court from the border, he would not get the false title of Taiwei if he was still a general. humiliation.

But there is another situation, that is, the emperor does not need a prestigious Taiwei, but in order to balance the prime minister and cannot vacate this position, he will promote an older general who has no outstanding achievements to be the Taiwei.Today's Taiwei is like this. According to the imperial edict of Emperor Renzong, two prime ministers, one on the left and one on the right, are set up to check and balance each other. , So I picked the current one.

Taiwei's surname is Wang, the single name is taboo Ji, and the word is Wugong.Although the meanings of the characters and the name are complementary, either synonymous or opposite, the character Wang Taiwei is wonderfully obtained.Wang Taiwei was born in a poor family, his father was a top-ranked Jinshi, and was an official county magistrate. Wang Taiwei finally became angry and joined the army because of repeated failures.

Afterwards, many battles, including several battles against the Xiongnu, and several battles between the fall of Zhao State and the fall of Yan State, all made military exploits.It stands to reason that this person is a no-brainer, but I don't know whether Wang Taiwei is born stupid or just unlucky.When Emperor Daizong fought against the Rong people, he killed [-] people, was reprimanded for seizing his official position, and later recovered.When fighting the Xiongnu, he lost his way in the desert, delayed the war opportunity, and was demoted as a commoner.During the war in Zhao State, he was wounded and captured, and was allowed to perform crimes and meritorious deeds.In the battle of Yan State, he fell off a horse and had short legs, and missed the final decisive battle.

Wang Taiwei has experienced hundreds of battles and battles in his life. It is not without hard work, but he always falls short at critical moments, and it is difficult to be named a marquis and worship general because of his achievements. Today, there is only one miscellaneous number of Polu generals in his body.

This is called "reactive".

In the eyes of the courtiers, it was the "weakness" of Yan Zhaoge that surpassed the "strong" of Wang Taiwei and Zuo Xiang, even though the Taishi was on the same level as the Taiwei and the prime minister.

The eldest princess paused for a moment, convinced that no one would dare to jump up and refute at this moment, and then continued: "Yushi Ling."

Yu Shiling immediately came out and said: "The minister is here!"

"I believe that the rule of the world is governed by officials and inspections. Officials are clean and the country is safe; inspections are strict and the people are happy; officials are bad and the ancestral temple is unstable; inspections are loose and the people are poor. rise up, and run away from each other up and down; the sinners are numerous, tortured and slaughtered look at each other, and the world suffers. From the group of ministers down to the common people, people have a heart of self-danger, and they are in the reality of poverty, and they are uneasy about their positions. So it's easy to move [Note 1]." The eldest princess sat upright, staring at Yu Shiling through the bead, and said in a deep voice: "You have this heavy responsibility, so you must be alert at all times."

After listening to the censor order, sweat dripped down his forehead.

It was the eldest princess who was beating him.

The eldest princess is very dissatisfied with the achievements of the censors in the past year. Several major events in Xingping three years, including the Duke of Shu's intention to rebel, the old Marquis of Linyuan favored his concubine and killed his wife, and the wife who was killed was Princess Tianjia. The treason case could be impeached for countless other matters, big and small, but he didn't impeach him, instead he focused on Yanhou.

He only cared to see if Marquis Yan really had a clear conscience about Hedong, if he was really loyal, and if he really had nothing to do with his stepmother, but he put his own job aside.The duty of the censor is to impeach, and all necessary people and things must be impeached, not just the Marquis of Yan.

The eldest princess just reminded him very vaguely, instead of publicly criticizing or even implying that he should immediately beg for bones to go home and farm for the elderly. The result was recognized by the eldest princess.But if he continues like this, the eldest princess will definitely let him go home.

Among the officials of the six ministries of the Sangong and Jiuqing, Yu Shiling, because his essential job was impeachment, sometimes even exercised his will on behalf of the emperor to impeach a certain important minister.Therefore, Yu Shiling is the most hated. If he loses the trust of the Tian family, it will definitely not end well.

Suicide is the best outcome!

Yu Shiling thought of this, and immediately bowed: "Your Majesty's instruction, I must remember it in my heart, dare not forget it, and clean up the corrupt and perverted people in the world for Your Majesty!"

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.Now that she knew that she was going to wipe out corrupt and perverted people, then she would not run after Yan Zhaoge again. The idea of ​​being impeached every day would tire her to death. Could it be that she didn't know who Yan Zhaoge was?Mind your own business, those of you who spit and fly around all day long!

After the censor's order, the eldest princess ordered Tingwei.

"I recently read the "Book of Rites" and realized that a tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger. I deeply agree. However, punishment should not be taken lightly. If punishment is light, the world will regard the law as nothing. If punishment is heavy, the people will be uneasy and the world will suffer. Dao, you need to decide by yourself."

Ting Wei said: "I would like to obey your Majesty's oral instructions. Those who are severely punished, those who are deeply governed, and those who are excessively collected, will be punished according to the law!"

After that, the eldest princess clicked on Zuoxiang and six ministers successively.

Zuo Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't fall to the end of Jiuqing.

After the six ministers ordered Wang Taiwei, Wang Taiwei looked sad and tried to show his loyalty to the eldest princess with a smile, but it was of no use.On the surface, the title of Taiwei is an honor given to military officers. In fact, it is only to prevent military officers with great military exploits from going to the level of the master of meritorious service. , but no military power.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no military officers with meritorious service and high risk at the border, and there was no one who was suitable to be a Taiwei, the Princess would have kicked Wang Taiwei back home long ago.It's better to have nothing if you lose the chain at the critical moment. Who would dare to use such a person?

Besides, there is one in front of a person who is good at fighting, even if he is crowned king with military exploits, there is no risk, so why doesn't she use it?

The eldest princess' eyes moved to Yan Zhaoge who was sitting.

Yan Zhaoge met her gaze and blinked quietly.

After the ranking is over, the counties will offer their special products and offerings from the subordinate countries, and then the officials will go to the hall for a pilgrimage, and briefly explain the taxes, corvees, acres, population, and various projects of the counties last year. The situation, how much money each tycoon paid, how many roads were built, how well the dams along the river were repaired, and how the quarrying materials for the mountain were all to be clarified.

This is also what the eldest princess attaches the most importance to.

The Jin emperors of all dynasties, just like the previous dynasties, had a tradition of traveling to Sanfu and even running outside the customs before enthroning, but they could no longer do so after enthroning.It's not that he will be dissuaded by courtiers, but that the finances can't bear it.Because the emperor went on tour, the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were used to spend all the way, not the treasury... This is the rule set by Emperor Gaozu. The Ministry of Internal Affairs supports the Tian family, and the national treasury supports the world.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he toured the land of Lu once, and spent tens of millions of money to go out, which was enough to fight another war in the north.Money is not the problem, the problem is that he didn't inspect anything, and the people lived and worked in peace and happiness along the way.But if this is the case, how can there be famines again and again in Ludi?After the first emperor returned to Chang'an, he was furious in the palace, and never talked about patrolling the world again.

What's more, when the emperor went on a tour, the scholars, civilians, businesses and businesses along the way were miserable. The generals who served as guards were trembling along the way, and the local officials who greeted them were also trembling.In order to prevent the accidental assassination of the emperor, the local officials had to be notified in advance, but the purpose of patrolling the world was to see how the people outside the customs were doing.

Therefore, this is the only way to learn more about the situation of local counties.

But in fact, the eldest princess has other ideas.She listened to the accountant of a certain county and country, and glanced at Yan Zhaoge out of the corner of her eye.

Yan Zhaoge was sitting upright, listening carefully to the official's report, nodding and shaking his head from time to time, and occasionally frowning.It looks much more serious than the emperor.

As for the emperor, the eldest princess glanced at the little emperor in her arms, and fell asleep biting her thumb.

After that, it was the palace banquet.

The Weiyang Palace was brightly lit, and countless maids shuttled through the palace with trays of food or drinks.

On the last day of each year, the emperor will entertain his ministers in the Weiyang Palace to show that the emperor and his ministers have fun together.The Empress Dowager will also entertain all the concubines, wives, and wives in Changle Palace.Let's celebrate the new year with joy.

The eldest princess asked the wet nurse to take the hungry little emperor away, and came out in another change of clothes.

In essence, the palace banquet is an occasion where the officials praise the emperor and flatter the emperor. Some boastful words that would be considered lucky by others on other occasions can be said during the palace banquet.Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, and even the most humble emperor would not want to hear bad words from people on such a festive day.

On weekdays, this kind of behavior is called outspokenness, but at this time it is called chasing.

Yan Zhaoge ate delicious food and drank fine wine, enjoying himself to the fullest.Probably because she got drunk too many times in her previous life, which cast a deep shadow on the eldest princess. As a result, the eldest princess seldom allowed her to drink when eating, and even if she did, she could only drink one or two glasses at most. Then he drank happily from a jug.

Lu Chenghou on one side came over and said, "I heard that Yanhou's personal soldiers are also members of my Chen clan? I wonder if we can meet?"

Yan Zhaoge was a little drunk, she stared at Lu Chenghou for a while, and said: "Although the surname is Chen, it is not from your Chen clan."

Lu Chenghou: "???"

Why is it different from what the eldest princess told me?Isn't Chen Xiu counted as the second son of the Chen family in Chang'an?what happened?

Yan Zhaoge knocked on the table, and said, "Although his surname is Chen, he is my personal soldier, my Jinyiwei's personal soldier. He is his father, and he entrusted him to my father. He has no other status."

Lu Chenghou was even more confused. What kind of entrustment is this?He is a child of the Chen family and he will not hesitate to be your soldier. This child has become a soldier of the commander of the Jinyiwei at a young age. He can tell at a glance that he has a bright future. He will never be transferred from the Jinyiwei Even if he has such a long-hearted princess, he will not agree.So, is Marquis Yan drunk?Why are you talking upside down?

Prime Minister Right was quietly eating and drinking beside him, listening to all the conversations between the two, and already had a rough idea of ​​the matter.Gu Lingyi had told him earlier that in Jihou's mansion, he saw a man who looked like a servant, but he looked a little like Chen Du.At that time, he only thought that he looked alike, and that the Langya Chen clan would never allow the descendants of the clan to sell themselves as slaves even if they were in decline.

But listening to what Yan Hou said inside and outside the meaning, it seems that they are really descendants of the Chen family, and after the division of the Chen family, they fell into the genealogy of the Chen family in Chang'an.What Yan Zhaoge said was obviously to confirm the identity of that person, the Chen family, and to erase the record of having sold himself as a slave in the past.

It's no wonder that the relatives of the relatives sold themselves as slaves, which ended up in the face of the emperor.

But what did it matter to him?He's just a pure minister.There is only one daughter that he cares about, and it is this daughter who always remembers his biological father's expectations and does things that daughters do not usually do at home, such as going to the Imperial Academy to study, going to a classmate's house as a guest, and a while ago she said that she would come back with a champion... ...Thinking of this, Prime Minister Right's eyelids twitched suddenly.

It’s bad, Gu Lingyi was not born before Gu Shize died, so it’s not clear if it’s a boy or a girl, so the booklet includes things that daughters do at home, and things that men often do. Things like that... Recently, Gu Lingyi and Yan Ningkang got along very well!In case he fell in love with that kid... Prime Minister Right gave Yan Zhaoge a murderous look.

Yan Zhaoge seemed to have sensed it, glanced at the Prime Minister on the right, and then turned around to argue with Lu Chenghou.

Lu Chenghou was really annoyed when she heard Che Jilu talking over and over again, and said: "I understand, that child is a good family member, entrusted by his father to your Yan family! Don't say any more!"

Yan Zhaoge nodded repeatedly.

The officials sitting at the back heard Lu Chenghou's words and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? Yanhou started to matchmaking at a young age?"

This person thought that Yan Zhaoge was seeking matchmaking for Lu Chenghou's son.

Yan Zhaoge patted the table and said, "I'll go to your house tomorrow to be a matchmaker!"

She was a little drunk, her brain was dizzy, and she couldn't quite figure out who said it, so she casually replied to the side.Coincidentally, it happened to be facing the right phase.

Prime Minister Right's face turned livid.

"If you dare to come, I will immediately break your brother's leg!"

Yan Zhaoge: "???"

She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Prime Minister Right had a daughter who was married to Qu Suihan in her previous life, but Qu Suihan no longer knew where to go, Prime Minister Right's daughter was probably still in her boudoir.Judging from the custom of Dajin daughters who usually meet and get married one to two years before Jiji, the right-hand daughter should be thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and Yan Ningsheng and Yan Ningkang are both fifteen during the New Year, which seems appropriate.

"Well, I have to go back and think about whether my second brother or my third brother is the right one. Please take care of you, don't worry."

Right Phase: "..."

He almost laughed at the drunk.Can the princess quickly gag Hou Yan and tie her up!

Yan Zhaoge was indeed drunk, she could immerse herself in the alcohol and let her mind empty.This is the last day of Xingping's three years. The eventful three years of Xingping finally passed.

Except that the first emperor died a year earlier than he remembered, everything went well.

The father was not seriously injured in the north, the Duke of Shu was honestly executed, the descendants of the King of Shu did not dare to move again, and the descendants of the King of Qin also stood on the side of the royal family... The most important thing is that the first emperor died cleanly and clearly , instead of being suspected of being under the hands of the Duke of Shu as in the previous life.In this way, all the things that happened in the four years of Xingping will not happen again, and there will be no four years of Xingping in history. Those tragedies and regrets are all left in the past that cannot be returned.

As long as the Xiongnu and Marquis of Xiliang are dealt with next, the Great Jin Dynasty will be as stable as a mountain in her lifetime.

More importantly, her marriage with the eldest princess has been endorsed by the emperor. She and the eldest princess are just like-minded, not just a matter of expediency as in the past, in name but without reality.

After a hundred years, she can be buried with the eldest princess.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoge almost burst into tears.

Chaoyi ended with the bell on the drum tower, knocking a full hundred and eight times.According to the current calendar, there are 24 months in a year, 72 solar terms, and 2 hous[Note [-]], which add up to exactly one hundred and eight, and knocking one hundred and eight times symbolizes the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.

Three years of Xingping passed smoothly!

Yan Zhaoge held his wine glass high, a tear fell from his eye.

"Minister Zhao Ge, respect the eldest princess!"

The eldest princess smiled slightly, holding a glass of wine and paying back.

The sharp-eyed courtiers followed immediately: "I thank you, the eldest princess!"

The eldest princess frowned, and ordered all the officials to go back to their homes after the court ceremony, and go to watch the year with their wives and children.

The courtiers toasting could only smile smugly, and under the escort of the guards, they left the palace in an orderly manner.

Yan Zhaoge immediately woke up his brain, seeing Lu Chenghou leaving surrounded by guards, he couldn't help but smile.

Although she was deliberately drunk just now, she was also pretending. Otherwise, how could she trick Lu Chenghou into agreeing to her words?All the courtiers around heard that Chen Xiu, that is, Ji Jun, was entrusted by his father to the Yan family to raise him, and Lu Chenghou himself admitted this, even if Lu Chenghou later found out that Ji Jun was his son, who had sold himself Being a slave to the Yan family, she can no longer be held accountable, and she even wants to thank Yan Zhaoge for his current behavior.

Because Yan Zhaoge's words are equivalent to removing the stains on Chang'an Chen's body in advance.

The matter of the Chen family has finally come to an end, and now only Si Jianhong's matter remains.I really hope that the prefect of Guangling can explain it quickly, so as to save some effort.

As Yan Zhaoge was thinking, he wondered whether he should go back to the Marquis of Yan's mansion to sleep directly, and return to the Marquis of Ji's mansion to worship the ancestors the next day, or go back now after leaving the palace.

"Marquis Yan." An eunuch stopped her way and said to her, "The eldest princess invites you into the palace."

Invite me into the palace?

Yan Zhaoge was taken aback. If I remember correctly, after Chaoyi's palace banquet, there will be a family banquet of Tian's own. The people present are all the concubines, clan and relatives in the palace.But what to invite her for?Although she regarded herself as a foreign relative, she and the eldest princess were not yet married. Was it too early for her to enter the palace at this time?

But after all kinds of considerations, he was no match for the princess's invitation, so Yan Zhaoge just straightened his clothes and said, "Master Ming please lead the way."

When she left Weiyang Palace, she saw the princess's chariot parked in front of Weiyang Palace.

Huh?

The curtain of the chariot was lifted from the inside, only the painted bamboo came out, looked at Yan Zhaoge and said, "The family feast of the Tian Family has already started, to save time, the Eldest Princess invites the Marquis of Yan to board the chariot."

what--?

If you do such a thing at this time, you will be impeached by the officials!

Shao, wake up!

——Yan Zhaoge didn't even hesitate, so he picked up his robe and got into the car.

The eldest princess was sitting in the car, leaning on the cushion and looking at Yan Zhaoge with a smile.Seeing that Yan Zhaoge got into the car without much effort, he couldn't help but smile even deeper.

"Why invite me into the palace at this time?"

"It's not my idea, but the idea of ​​the queen mother." The eldest princess said: "The queen mother said that you once knelt down for Empress Zhaode as the nephew of Empress Zhaode, and the Ye family of Empress Zhaode's natal family has long since disappeared, so let's leave it alone." It is also counted as a foreign relative, and I invite you to come to the palace to have a banquet."

"You don't want to invite me?"

"Of course you can't invite them at this time, but next year you can."

Yan Zhaoge also laughed, she leaned over to kiss the eldest princess, but her lips were pressed against her.

"You smell of alcohol, are you drunk?"

Yan Zhaoge bypassed that hand, kissed the thinly rouged lips, and said vaguely: "Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated, you are more fragrant than wine."

The author has something to say: [Note 1] is taken from the fourth paragraph of "On Guo Qin".

The second generation did not do this, but focused on immorality: the ancestral temple and the people were destroyed, and it was rebuilt as the palace of Efang;There are many things in the world, and the officials cannot be disciplined; the people are poor, but the Lord does not accept them.Then traitors and hypocrites rise together, and the upper and lower flee each other; the sinners are numerous, tortured and killed, and look at each other in the Tao, and the world suffers.From the group of ministers down to the common people, people have a heart of self-danger, live in poverty and poverty, and are uneasy about their positions, so they are easy to move.Therefore, Chen She did not use Tang and Wu Zhixian, and did not borrow the honor of the princes to fight for the great river, and if the world responded, the people would be in danger.

[Note 2] It is recorded in "Yi Zhou Shu Shi Xun Jie": five days are hou, three hou are qi, six qi are time, four o'clock are year, and there are 24 solar terms in a year with a total of 72 hou. (The time here is not the hour, but the season, that is, the season.)

The prince's teachers should be the prince's Taishi, the prince's Taifu, and the prince's Taibao.The prince's grand master gave the text, the prince's grand master gave the martial arts, the prince's Taibao was in charge of security work, and the prince's young teacher, prince's Shaofu, and prince's Shaobao were the deputies of the above three.However, in fact, although they have such a big name, they are actually nominal teachers, and it is some relatively low-ranking officials who really give lectures to the prince.

And in actual history, it is not that the crown prince ascended the throne, the prince and grand master can be awarded the position of grand master. Most of the time, the titles of Sangong, Sanshao, Sanshi and Sangu are just empty titles, and they are not actually responsible for teaching the young emperor or the prince. duty.

If my description is wrong, please refer to the history books as the correct answer.
