Ben Hou is ill
Chapter 147: The Beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1)
The next day, the eldest princess changed to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.The original, the beginning, the beginner, the beginning.
It is the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest princess took the little emperor and all the civil and military officials to worship the ancestors at the Emperor Gaozu Temple.
Jin inherited the Han system, Han inherited the Qin system, and Qin followed the Zhou system.It is recorded in the Book of Rites that "the country is built on the right, the right is on the right and the left is the ancestral temple". From Zong Zhou to the present, all dynasties have paid more attention to the ancestral temple than to the community.Although the Great Jin respected the right, it was still the case. It was just said that "the left shrine and the right ancestral temple" that's all.The emperors of all dynasties may not offer sacrifices to heaven and earth every year, but they must offer sacrifices to their ancestors every year.Ancestor worship itself is an act of proclaiming orthodoxy to the world and clarifying the status of monarchs and ministers.
The offering of gold is particularly important in ancestor worship.
The gold system is also passed down from the former Han Dynasty. "Shuowen" alcohol, triple alcohol wine also.
Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty had a rule that when worshiping the ancestors in Gaomiao, the kings and princes should donate gold according to the number of people in the feudal country, four taels for every thousand mouths, and four taels for the remainder exceeding five hundred mouths. Shaofu acceptance, this is called the gold system.In addition, those in remote vassal states who cannot get enough gold can use rhino horn, tortoise shell, ivory, emerald, etc. instead of gold.If the gold offered is insufficient in quantity or fineness, the kings will cut down the land, and the princes will destroy the country.
In the time of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, he won [-] titles on the grounds of the amount of donations or insufficient color, accounting for half of the number of princes in the former Han Dynasty.This is called "Golden Seizes the Jue", and "Golden Lost Marquis".
The subsequent emperors could still meet with the shortage of gold and gold, but they never encountered such a large-scale incident again.
When Emperor Renzong was still there, he once lamented with the eldest princess why he never met such a stupid lieutenant like Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty. If there is enough gold, either the donor is still a milk baby, who can't tell the difference between gold and brass, and is coaxed by the servants to offer copper to make up the amount.
There is never a good time to slaughter fat sheep.
Thanks to the Beidi Great Victory and the Hedong case, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs have abundant treasuries. Even the most budget-minded Queen Mother Chen would not be harsh if she lacked such a star.
However, there are sufficient reasons for the words "meat eaters contempt" to be included in Zuo Zhuan.
The eldest princess sighed slightly, and looked at the golden cakes piled up in front of her eyes. They were all yellow in color, and they could even reflect light when placed in the sun.But in fact... She picked up a gold cake and shook it in her hand, and she knew the weight was wrong.
Dajin has strict regulations on currency, one catty equals 16 taels, one tael equals 24 baht, one copper plate weighs five baht, and one gold cake equals one catty.Anything more or less will not work.
Gold cakes and copper cakes of the same size have different weights.
And the piece of gold cake in her hand was only twelve or thirty taels at most.
This is also too much.
Previously there was a case of Hedong, which killed 23 nobles. In all fairness, neither the eldest princess nor Yan Zhaoge wanted to kill the nobles. She is only the regent princess, not the emperor. It is better to kill less It is better to kill less.But if this kind of self-seeking death is let go, I'm afraid it will be punished by heaven.
In particular, the new emperor dared to do such a thing when he worshiped Gaomiao for the first time when he ascended the throne.Do you think that the emperor is young and the eldest princess is regent, and the courtiers will definitely control her?So she didn't dare to punish this person severely?Is this not taking the majesty of the Tian family seriously, or not taking her, the eldest princess, seriously?Or, don't take the emperor seriously?
Since Emperor Shizu, the Jin Dynasty has not used the gold system to severely punish the nobles. These guys probably forgot how to write the word "gold to win the title".What's more, he forgot that Feng Jin didn't follow the rules, but he would quarrel and exterminate the clan.
"Go and find out which one of the families here is the most unruly offering gold. It doesn't matter whether the king is honorable or honorable." The eldest princess ordered.
The servant didn't even move, and said in a low voice: "Reporting to the eldest princess, the most unqualified one is the offering from King Fu."
The eldest princess moved slightly in her heart, and asked, "How much is the difference?"
"Fu Wang only donated 23 yuan, not pure gold."
King Fu's fief is in Donghai County, and he has sealed three counties next to Guangling County. There are a total of 40 households with a population of more than [-]. It is reasonable to donate at least [-] yuan in gold.
"Fu Wang..." The eldest princess sighed faintly.
When Emperor Shizu chose the crown prince, the one who competed most fiercely with Emperor Daizong was Li Wang, who almost overwhelmed Emperor Daizong, so Emperor Daizong was more wary of Li Wang.For King Fu, who was a few years younger than his eldest son, Emperor Daizong treated him as a nephew and took care of him since he was a child.It was also the young King Fu who said that he trusted the third brother more. If the third brother succeeds to the throne, the brothers in the clan will be able to live in peace for a lifetime.In words, he revealed deep distrust towards the fourth-ranked King Li, which became the weight of the decisive victory, and finally the third-ranked Emperor Daizong became the prince.
In order to thank King Fu and win over the clan, Emperor Daizong sealed another county to King Fu.Originally, King Fu had only two counties, and they were both in sparsely populated and barren places. Emperor Daizong personally ordered that King Fu be reassigned to the very affluent Donghai County.There are only 9000 people in the two counties entrusted by King Li, and the three kings of Shenxiangjiang have only one county fief.
Has this become the reason for King Fu to be proud of his favor?
"Inform the Empress Dowager about this matter, and then ask Da Zong to deal with this matter, and don't tolerate it." The princess thought about it for a while, and ordered: "How much is the king of Jinan's donation?"
"I offered three pieces." The servant paused, and said in a low voice, "The heaviest piece is only 12 taels. The piece that the eldest princess took just now was presented by King Jinan."
The so-called self-seeking of death probably refers to this.
"Inform the Empress Dowager about this matter, and deal with it together with King Li."
The sword of the descendants of King Qin is very fast.It is the most convenient way to kill the clan.
After dealing with the matter of Jin Jin, the eldest princess pretended to be innocent and continued to lead the officials to sacrifice to the ancestral temple.
According to the Zhaomu system established during the Zong and Zhou dynasties, the emperor had seven temples, the princes had five temples, the officials had three temples, the scholars had one temple, and the common people had no temples.The Son of Heaven set up seven temples, three Zhao and three Mu, and seven temples of □□.Therefore, no matter how many emperors there are in the Jin Dynasty, only seven emperors can be enshrined at all times.
Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Chengzong before Nanshou, Emperor Muzong during Nanshou, Emperor Shizu, Emperor Daizong, and Emperor Renzong after Nanshou were originally enshrined. Emperor Xiaozong, who was respected as Emperor Xiaozong, wanted to build a temple after his death, so he could only be wronged that Emperor Chengzong, who had made no achievements, attached the god's amulet to Emperor Gaozong's temple.
After Emperor Shizu succeeded to the throne, because he was ashamed of his ancestor's shamelessness, the posthumous posthumous system collapsed. Therefore, the temple names of several emperors between Emperor Muzong and Emperor Zhezong, the father of Emperor Shizu, were abolished. Although the temple name of the emperor before Nanshou It was not abolished, but the temple privileges that should not have been removed were directly removed, such as Emperor Ningzong who was cowardly and was ostracized by powerful officials and relatives.
From offering sacrifices at the Taizong Emperor's Temple all the way to the newly built Xiaozong Emperor's Temple, almost a whole day will pass.
The eldest princess stared at the amulet of God in Emperor Xiaozong's temple for a long time before sighing softly.
Although he passed away earlier than in the previous life, the ending is better now. Your temple is still there, the crown prince has successfully ascended the throne, Cai Guogong and Mao Guogong are still alive, the Jin Dynasty is not in chaos, and the world is peaceful.
You are right, brother Zong.
According to Jin law, every new year, officials and common people can rest for ten days, from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year to the seventh day of the first month of the new year.Each yamen needs to take turns to rest and bathe, and it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of each yamen.
But there are some that are not listed here, such as the top planners in various counties and countries, and the two thousand stones where they go to Beijing to report on their duties.
The officials in charge had to wait for the prime minister's call at the post station at any time, and the two thousand stones who came to Beijing to report on their duties had to wait for the palace to be summoned.
The prefect of Guangling was so anxious at the post station that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his mouth was already blistered from the fire.
There are a total of [-] prefectures in the Great Jin Dynasty. Six of them came to Beijing to report their duties, and five of them were summoned by the eldest princess. He once visited him personally and asked about the general content of the duet with the eldest princess, but found that it was completely different.
For example, the prefect of Yanmen, Yanmen County was originally a border county, and later became an inner county. It is no longer stationed in the field school lieutenant department all the year round, but it has been fighting with the Xiongnu since the former Han Dynasty, and the folk customs are still very strong. fierce.The eldest princess asked about this aspect, and only asked whether the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and whether the spirit of chivalry prevailed.
Another example is Shuofang County, Shuofang County is now a border county, but there are almost no wars, probably because there is a market here that communicates with the Huns and Xianbei.It was set up by Emperor Shizu, and he clearly told the Xiongnu that if they dared to attack with a large army, they would no longer set up a mutual market, so the Xiongnu felt sad.The eldest princess only asked about the situation of the trade market, whether the Huns and Xianbei had committed murder, and whether the merchants who traded here paid taxes.
As for the others, they don't ask about taxes or military service or political achievements in recent years.
What is there in Guangling, located in the south of the Yangtze River?
Nothing.
The prefect of Guangling didn't even dare to guess whether there were other reasons for being ordered to enter Beijing this time.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the servant who passed the imperial edict finally came to the palace and summoned the prefect of Guangling to enter the palace for a duet.
The prefect of Guangling breathed a sigh of relief, and went to Weiyang Palace in a rented carriage.
In the carriage, he thought about what happened before the palace banquet. The child who survived the destruction of the Hong family was changed from Lord Pingshan to Deng Guogong, and he was adopted by King Cao Kang as his heir.Because he didn't know, he purposely inquired and found out that Ping Shanjun's younger sister was in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, because it was not easy to adopt a daughter alone, so he brought his elder brother along with him.
What's the reason for this?
The prefect of Guangling couldn't understand it.Let's not talk about how many daughters there are in the clan, but this younger sister is worth pondering.The destruction of the Hong family was done by him alone, and he remembered very clearly that all the descendants of the Hong family, regardless of their descendants, except the heirs of the King of Jinan, died.In order to keep this matter secret, he personally checked the number of heads, and even the newborn babies were covered with cloth to death.But there is no daughter between King Jinan and that Hong family.
Even if this younger sister is really a remnant of the Hong family, then Deng Guogong's attitude is too strange.Logically speaking, he shouldn't know the truth about the Hong family's extermination.In order to get rid of himself, he asked his cronies to bring gold and invite a group of thieves who did all kinds of evil to do this.After killing the whole family of Hong's family, they led the county soldiers to silence this group of thieves, and none of them escaped.In the end, even the cronies let him find an excuse to execute him, and he also tried every means to bury him in the soil after making good friends with the cronies.
Where did Deng Guogong know about this?
Only the King of Jinan and the old Princess Lu knew about this matter. The deceased King of Lu may have known something inside, but King Lu has been dead for many years, and it is impossible for Duke Deng to know about it from him.It is impossible for the King of Jinan and the old Princess Lu to tell this matter.
The extermination of the Hong family committed the heinous crime of discord. If it was exposed, they would be quarreled and exterminated.
The prefect of Guangling thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out.
How did he know that Si Jianhong was the one who revived his life.Although Si Jianhong didn't know the inside story of the Hong family's destruction of the family, he knew that it was closely related to the King of Jinan who drove his brother out to starve his younger brother to death. He gathered the Lu soldiers and horses, and then broke through the gate of Jinan Palace. First, he hung Princess Lu on the beam, hanged her to death, and then put a knife on King Jinan's neck, and asked the inside story of the Hong family's destruction of the family.The King of Jinan naturally knew everything, so he told everything, and it was clear who did it.It's a pity that he thought that he would survive by telling the truth, but he didn't expect that Si Jianhong would never let him go no matter what.
It's a pity that Guangling County is not a short distance from Lu County, and it was a troubled time. Si Jianhong had no choice but to send troops to kill the Guangling prefect. After the world was at peace, Si Jianhong went to Guangling again and found that the Guangling prefect was dead.
……
The eldest princess was waiting in the imperial study room, she wanted to read the memorials, and then let the little emperor develop a good habit of liking reading the memorials, instead of being like his father, being a shopkeeper all day long.The floor of the imperial study room was covered with thick felt blankets. The little emperor could already walk, but he was still not stable enough. He had to hold on to things, otherwise he would fall to the ground after walking a few steps.
The eldest princess watched her nephew fall down after walking a few steps, while laughing very happily, and only occasionally looked at the memorial. Originally, it was mainly for reading the memorial, but now it was reversed.
Yan Zhaoge sat at the side and read the playbook, wrote a comment or two from time to time, and then glanced at the eldest princess, shaking his head involuntarily.
There are quite a few memorials to be read. After all, officials rested, and major events in the world would not rest, and the courtiers who handed memorials to the palace every day would not refuse to pass them because they rested for a few days.She went back to Jihou's Mansion a few days ago, and after the festival, she worshiped her ancestors again, and only entered the palace today.But he didn't expect to have to do something as soon as he entered the palace, and it was still accumulated for a few days.
"Why didn't you find it so fun to raise children when you were in the Northland?" the eldest princess asked with a smile.
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, and said: "When you were in the Northland, how many times did you see the children in a month? At most, you would go to see them after dinner. If they are asleep, you need to go and see them to see how well they are sleeping. Is it fragrant? Brother Ting was taught by me from toddler to enlightenment."
Because the name of the emperor cannot be outright taboo, in the palace, such as the eldest princess, the empress dowager, etc., are called the little emperor by Tinggeer.
"Are you blaming me for not raising a child?" The Eldest Princess snorted and said, "I don't have time to take care of my children. It's too late to fight for power with the courtiers."
"Who told you that you refused to rely on me at that time."
"Then you have to be reliable. Once you arrive in the north, the soldiers and civilians of Yan will welcome you. Although the soldiers and civilians of Zhao are not so exaggerated, they still love you. The military power is in your hands, and the hearts of the people are also in your hands. Guangnan Hou even handed over the Tiger Talisman to you personally, saying that you will inherit your father's will. The imperial court only has half of the Eighth School of the Beijing Camp, and they are either injured or disabled. How dare you rely on you, a great warlord!"
Yan Zhaoge immediately stopped the pen in his hand, leaned his chin on the desk and looked at her, his eyes were full of smiles, and asked, "Then why are you willing to rely on me afterward?"
The eldest princess thought about it carefully, and said: "I probably think you are reliable."
"Huh? Tell me in detail?"
"I originally thought that you were going to be a powerful minister. You refused to hand over military power and always meddled with the courtiers, so I and the courtiers were on guard against you. When Brother Ting was seriously ill and dying, the courtiers discussed whether to elect a successor. You actually want to support Si Jianhong, who has military exploits, to the throne. Once Si Jianhong succeeds, sooner or later he will disagree with you because of military power, but you still chose Si Jianhong. At that time, I was thinking, you are probably Reliable people."
Yan Zhaoge looked at her and smiled.
The eldest princess felt that her face was burning, so she turned her head to look at the little emperor. The little emperor just couldn't hold on to the cabinet, and fell down on the blanket, lying there in a large font.
The eldest princess laughed out loud.
Yan Zhaoge picked up a pen, took a piece of clean paper, and wrote on the paper while reading: ""Book of Jin·The Chronicle of a certain Emperor·Part [-]"The emperor was half a year old and could walk, his steps were unsteady, and he often fell down. Seeing this, the princess couldn't stop laughing."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was very steady, as if he was reading a history book, but the little emperor might have sensed the malice hidden in Yan Zhaoge's steady voice, so he immediately raised his head, staring back and forth in the imperial study room, mouth He yelled "ah" and "ah".
Yan Zhaoge continued to write, saying: "The emperor fell down, the eldest princess laughed and did not help, the emperor could not get up, and lay on the ground, glaring and not knowing who to look at, screaming from his throat, the sound was like a lion roaring and a tiger roaring, or like a tiger roaring. Eagle chirping, very majestic."
The eldest princess laughed out loud.
The two were laughing when someone from the palace came in to report: "The eldest princess, Marquis Yan, the prefect of Guangling has arrived outside the palace to wait for the imperial edict."
The eldest princess nodded and allowed Guangling prefect to come in.
"Should I avoid it?"
The eldest princess raised her brows, and said: "What are you avoiding? Are you avoiding the matter of you reviewing the memorial for me?" She picked up the little emperor who was lying on the ground and refused to get up, and then stuffed it into Yan Zhaoge's arms, saying: "Hold him and see who dares to let you avoid it."
Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, the prefect of Guangling stepped into the hall, prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The prefect of Guangling pays his respects to the eldest princess."
The eldest princess said rather coldly: "Please get up. Give the Guangling prefect a seat."
The prefect of Guangling thumped in his heart, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Princess Chang, for giving me the seat." Then he got up slowly and sat on the seat brought by the servant.When he saw the eldest princess with a worried face and a young man holding a child, his eyes widened immediately, and the eyeballs almost fell out.
The young man frowned and said, "How dare you face Jinshang so rudely?"
This is the emperor?
Only then did the prefect of Guangling realize that the child being carried was the current emperor. He immediately took off his hat and knelt down, apologizing, "I'm guilty."
Taking advantage of Guangling prefect's loss of sight, the eldest princess turned her head and glared at Yan Zhaoge, saying, "I forgive you for your innocence, get up."
The prefect of Guangling got up again.
"Why you are called to Beijing this time, you know clearly in your heart, so I won't say much." The princess said slowly, "I know that you were the prefect of Jinan, but I don't know how Jinan is?"
The prefect of Guangling felt guilty for a while, and thought that he wanted to ask about the Hong family, so he bit the bullet and said: "Before I leave office, relying on the kindness of the emperor, the people of Jinan live and work in peace and contentment..."
"I thought Qing was not stupid, but pretended to be stupid."
"I don't know... I don't know."
"The Hong family." The Eldest Princess stood up and said, "Do you want me to point out which county the Hong family is from? What is the name of the head of the Hong family, who suffered from it and why?"
Sweat dripped down the Guangling prefect's forehead, and he wanted to say that he didn't know anything about it, but the extermination of the Hong family was a big case no matter which dynasty or generation it was placed in. If he hadn't borrowed the power of the prince, he would have never been able to remain silent. Suppressed soundly.He said: "My minister, I know the Hong family well. The case of the Hong family was committed by the bandits who fled in Ludi. They killed more than a hundred members of the Hong family for gold and silver. This minister had already led the charge back then. The soldiers of Jinan County, with the help of the governor of Donghai, killed all the culprits, and not a single one escaped."
"That is to say, there is no symptom for death?"
"Wei Chen dare not."
The eldest princess sneered, and said: "This thief must be under your orders, or you may have something to do with him, the King of Jinan entrusted you to kill Hong's family, and you wanted to use the power of King Lu to climb up, so you did it. He borrowed the thief to kill the whole family of the Hong family, and then led his troops to kill all the robbers, so he picked himself out of it, right?"
The prefect of Guangling swallowed his throat, pretending to be calm and said: "Chen, I have never done this."
"Okay, it's a good one who has never done this. Do you think that no one will know what you did?" The eldest princess asked in a low voice: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Don't forget, there is A fish that slipped through the net. And now, the fish that slipped through the net has reached the sky in one step."
The prefect of Guangling immediately thought of Si Jianhong, who is now Deng Guogong, and he was extremely panicked, but still held a fluke in his heart.What if?What if the eldest princess has no evidence?If there is any evidence, he should be arrested right now, so why bother talking to him here?It's not because the eldest princess is just guessing and has no evidence.It must have been just to trick him.
The eldest princess stared at him for a moment, with disappointment on her face, and said: "Guangling prefect, you must think that I don't have evidence in my hands, so I lied to you here. But do you think I really can't punish you? You Do you think I don’t know what you did for the King of Lu in Jinan County and for yourself in Guangling County? It’s enough to kill ten of you. It’s not you that I want to punish.”
The prefect of Guangling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there is no evidence, and he was not the one who punished?If every sentence of the emperor's words is true, how can there be so many honorable ministers who were deceived and committed suicide?He knelt down on the ground, bowed his body and said: "I really didn't do it, please let the eldest princess know."
The eldest princess was silent for a moment, and said: "You go out of the palace."
Can I leave the palace now?He's here to report on his work, don't you want to ask Guangling?Just for the Hong family's affairs?Deng Guogong is so valued by the eldest princess?Or is it that the eldest princess is actually eyeing that one?
"Marquis Yan, send the Guangling prefect out of the palace."
The prefect of Guangling was taken aback again, Marquis Yan?That young man is Yanhou?With a very handsome appearance, is that the Marquis of Yan who was killed in the river east?
Yan Zhaoge had been coaxing the little emperor to play, and when he heard that he put the little emperor on the couch, the little emperor left her arms, and immediately cried out in dissatisfaction.
"Come back and play with Brother Ting again, okay?" Yan Zhaoge coaxed the little emperor as if no one was there, holding his index finger and the little emperor's hand together.
The little emperor patted the cushion on the couch vigorously, then turned his head away.
The heart of the prefect of Guangling was like a stormy sea.He only knew that Marquis Yan was valued by the eldest princess, and also by the palace, and had been endorsed by two generations of emperors, but he didn't expect the new emperor to rely on Marquis Yan so much.If you can climb up to the Marquis of Yan, you will definitely be able to climb straight up...
Yan Zhaoge got up, walked forward, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the Guangling prefect, and said, "Guangling prefect, please go ahead."
Only then did the Guangling prefect realize that he was still sitting on his seat, so he immediately stood up and said to Yan Zhaoge, "Excuse me, Marquis Yan, to lead the way."
The two walked out one after the other, and when they were about to leave the imperial study, the Guangling prefect suddenly turned his head for some reason, and saw the eldest princess looking at him calmly, and said: "The prefect should know, the former A few days ago, the second son of King Lu entered the palace and sued Princess Lu and King Jinan for the crime of disharmony."
The prefect of Guangling staggered.
Unless it is a heinous crime, you must never sue your close relatives. Falsely accusing your close relatives is a capital crime, and you will be sentenced to a broken car.If the second son of King Lu dared to sue, it proved that the second son of King Lu knew the inside story.
But how did the second son of King Lu know?How is it possible to know?Where did he know?
Not allowing the prefect of Guangling to think too much, the eldest princess continued: "Since the prefect of Guangling is unwilling to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, I will hand over this responsibility to the second son of King Lu. Please." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at the prefect of Guangling.
The prefect of Guangling raised his head blankly to look at Yan Zhaoge standing in front of him, the corner of the other party's lips curled up slightly, showing him a harmless smile.For some reason, he shivered suddenly.
"Prefect of Guangling, please go ahead." Yan Zhaoge repeated.
The prefect of Guangling followed Yan Zhaoge with a stiff body and walked forward, one step, two steps, three steps... Suddenly his feet softened, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".Crying loudly, he crawled back to the imperial study room, kowtowed to the eldest princess and said, "I am guilty...I am guilty! The guilty minister pleads guilty!"
He thought clearly about his interests in an instant. Now that Deng Guogong has reached the sky in one step, and he seems to know the inside story, he will definitely not let him go. revenge.In this case, he might as well plead guilty to the eldest princess. If the eldest princess keeps her promise, he can still save his own life. Even if the eldest princess repents, he will commit suicide and apologize, but he can save his family.Otherwise, if they resist to the end, they may end up in the situation where the whole family will be executed and exiled.
The eldest princess sighed slightly, and said to Yan Zhaoge: "Marquis Yan, bring the Jin Yiwei back."
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands and said: "This minister takes orders." Then he walked out of the imperial study.
The prefect of Guangling was trembling while crying, the fear in his heart couldn't be increased.If it was a young man, he might not take Jin Yiwei seriously, but he grew up listening to Jin Yiwei's reputation and knew how cruel Jin Yiwei's methods were.Jin Yiwei?What do you want to use Jinyiwei for?Could it be that as soon as he leaves the palace, he will be arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison?Those punishments will be added to him...
"Your Highness! The guilty minister pleaded guilty!" The prefect of Guangling grabbed the ground with his head, and his forehead was covered with blood.
This is to see the coffin without tears.The eldest princess thought.Why did Jin Yiwei withdraw to lie to the prefect of Guangling? Jin Yiwei has just returned, so how can there be so many people available?
"Since you have pleaded guilty, let's talk over there." The eldest princess said, seeing the Guangling prefect raised his head, with tears, snot, and blood mixed on his face, he felt sick, and ordered: "Come here, give Guangling prefect a beat." Clean your face with a basin of water."
"The guilty minister thanked the eldest princess." Guangling prefect thanked.After cleansing his face, his mood became much more stable. He still knelt on the ground and said, "The matter of the Hong family was entrusted by the king of Jinan and ordered by the criminal officials. What the eldest princess said is the truth. It's just that those culprits are not related to me. The criminal ministers had something to do with them, and they didn't obey their orders. Those thieves came from Donghai County. It was said that they had committed countless crimes and had countless lives in their hands. Jinan's county soldiers killed the bandits."
The eldest princess said in her heart that it was so, and at the same time felt very colic in her heart.Hearing what Guangling prefect said so lightly, she was almost about to slash this man with a sword.If it wasn't, if it wasn't that she had more doubts about this matter... She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Why are you willing to obey the King of Jinan?"
The King of Jinan smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that the guilty minister obeyed the Jinan King, but someone wanted the criminal to obey the Jinan King." He paused, and said, "Princess, the criminal is from Kaiyang in the East China Sea. When I was studying, my family was poor, and my father died young, so I was able to continue my studies with the support of the nobles. When I became an official, my grandparents passed away one after another, and the nobles paid for the grandparents of the guilty minister. After that, the guilty minister kept his filial piety for six years, and it was still the same. This noble person opened the way for the guilty minister to serve as the prefect of Jinan. Even now, the guilty minister's widowed mother is still living in Kaiyang. One is for kindness, and the other is for filial piety, the guilty minister has no choice but to do so."
The three counties of Quyang, Kaiyang and Jianyang in Donghai County are the fiefdoms of King Fu.
The eldest princess had realized who this nobleman was, but she still asked, "Which one is this nobleman from the clan?"
"It's King Fu."
The eldest princess frowned.She should have realized that something was wrong when she saw King Fu, who looked younger than the three kings of Shen Xiangjiang. As far as she knew, in order to reassure Emperor Daizong, King Fu had never practiced martial arts, and he even refused to study. He only knew about eating, drinking and having fun. , and was denounced by Emperor Shizu as ignorant.Since he only knows how to eat, drink and play, it doesn't make sense that Emperor Renzong has died of illness for many years, but King Fu's physique is still so good.
No wonder, no wonder King Fu's gold is so short, he has been coveting the throne for so long, he has prepared countless things, but no one finds out, how can he be unhappy?How could he be unhappy?
Emperor Daizong was still on guard against King Fu, but Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xian had no defense against King Fu. Emperor Renzong only stared at Marquis Yan, and Emperor Xian was a hands-off shopkeeper. When she first came to power, how could she have thought that King Fu would have such thoughts? Woolen cloth?Guangling is a land of wealth and wealth. Did the Duke of Shu in his previous life win the throne with the help of King Fu?
"Why did King Fu ask you to do this?"
"The criminal minister doesn't know." Guangling prefect said: "The criminal minister can only obey the orders of King Fu, and he doesn't know anything else."
"What else do you know? Even some clues and speculation."
The prefect of Guangling kowtowed to the eldest princess and begged: "Eldest princess, please protect the widowed mother of the sinner."
"This palace will definitely."
"The guilty minister guessed that King Fu should want to drive a wedge between the Tian family and the royal family." Guangling prefect said in a low voice, "Before prefect Gu died of illness, King Fu sent someone to send a letter to the guilty minister, telling him to prepare for his transfer to Guangling. From this, it can be deduced that the guilty minister thought that the murder of the Hong family might have been promoted by King Fu, so that Lu Wang's mansion was separated from the Tian family and from the late emperor."
The eldest princess's body shook violently, she felt dizzy in her brain, and she almost couldn't stand up.She said: "What else, let's talk about it one by one."
"The sinful minister once went to Fu Wang's mansion and met the prince Fu. At that time, the prince Fu was drunk and once said that it was Cao Wang, and he only had one life."
One life, one life at a time.
The eldest princess's face was pale, and she almost fainted. She held on to the table and ordered: "Call Yanhou to come in."
Yan Zhaoge stood outside all the time, only separated by a screen, and could hear everything. Hearing the voice, he immediately stepped into the imperial study room without waiting for the palace servants to send a message. The princess helped her to sit on the couch.
The eldest princess wasted too much, leaning on the pillow, whispered: "You ask for me."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, looked at the Guangling prefect, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with King Cao?"
"The criminal minister doesn't know, the criminal minister only heard this sentence."
Afterwards, he asked some other questions, and the prefect of Guangling answered them all, knowing everything without saying anything.I asked what I had asked again, and the answer was slightly different, but there was no discrepancy.Yan Zhaoge looked at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess nodded slightly, so Yan Zhaoge asked the prefect of Guangling to write all these things on a piece of paper, and asked him to press his fingerprints.
"It's about the lives of more than a hundred members of the Hong family, and it also involves King Cao Kang. Since you have learned about King Cao from Prince Li's son, you should know who King Cao Kang is and how important it is to the Tian family. This matter is very important. , if I let you out of the palace, King Fu will definitely murder you, and in the end there will be no proof, just like what you have done." Yan Zhaoge said: "I will send you to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, Jinyiwei are all my people, Even flies can't escape. This move is to save your life, not to arrest you for questioning."
"The guilty minister understands." The prefect of Guangling took off his official hat, untied the ribbon around his waist and put the bag with the official seal on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The Jin Yiwei never needs to explain when he asks someone for a crime. Wait until now Knowing the matter, the guilty minister committed suicide to apologize, please save the guilty minister's widowed mother."
Yan Zhaoge personally locked up the prefect of Guangling and sent him to Jinyi Weizhao Prison. He also ordered his cronies to guard him, and clearly said: Except for himself and the eldest princess, no matter who, even if it is the empress dowager and the empress dowager. Never be allowed to see the prefect of Guangling, and the whole family of those who violate it will be exiled.
After finishing this matter, she returned to the palace. The eldest princess was already lying down in the Jinyang Palace. Her complexion improved a lot, but she still lost a little color. It could be seen that her mind was exhausted and she was thinking too much.
"Yongyue, I used to think that Brother Cao Wang died of illness because of accumulated worries. I also saw clearly that Brother Cao Wang passed away in private. I didn't expect that there would be King Fu's handwriting in it. "
Yan Zhaoge hugged her, and softly comforted her: "This is just the Guangling prefect's one-sided words, and things may not be like this."
The eldest princess shook her head, and said: "It's a lie, and it has become true from the mouth of the Guangling prefect at this time. Fu Wang Jin Jin disrespected his ancestors, ordered people to kill Gu Shize, and was suspected of coveting the throne. Brother Cao Wang Even if his death has nothing to do with the Fu Wang Mansion, in order to persuade the Zongzheng Mansion to support the royal family in abolishing the Fu Wang Mansion, this hat must be put on Fu Wang's head. I have ordered people to send the complaint to Shou Ning Palace."
Yan Zhaoge let out a long sigh, and said, "Now we can only be thankful that the Poison King has never held military power."
The eldest princess leaned in her arms, feeling deeply tired.
"I used to, why would I like to be in power..."
"Probably because I didn't like me before." Yan Zhaoge kissed her ear lightly, and said, "Now that I like me, I don't like being in power anymore."
The eldest princess laughed, "You are so annoying."
The author has something to say: The loss of the Duke of Jin was a matter during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. For details, you can refer to Baidu Encyclopedia.
People often beat 酎 (four tones zhou) gold into wine (two tones chou) gold.
Gou refers to fine wine that has been brewed several times, and judging refers to pouring wine.

thanks at 20
It is the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest princess took the little emperor and all the civil and military officials to worship the ancestors at the Emperor Gaozu Temple.
Jin inherited the Han system, Han inherited the Qin system, and Qin followed the Zhou system.It is recorded in the Book of Rites that "the country is built on the right, the right is on the right and the left is the ancestral temple". From Zong Zhou to the present, all dynasties have paid more attention to the ancestral temple than to the community.Although the Great Jin respected the right, it was still the case. It was just said that "the left shrine and the right ancestral temple" that's all.The emperors of all dynasties may not offer sacrifices to heaven and earth every year, but they must offer sacrifices to their ancestors every year.Ancestor worship itself is an act of proclaiming orthodoxy to the world and clarifying the status of monarchs and ministers.
The offering of gold is particularly important in ancestor worship.
The gold system is also passed down from the former Han Dynasty. "Shuowen" alcohol, triple alcohol wine also.
Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty had a rule that when worshiping the ancestors in Gaomiao, the kings and princes should donate gold according to the number of people in the feudal country, four taels for every thousand mouths, and four taels for the remainder exceeding five hundred mouths. Shaofu acceptance, this is called the gold system.In addition, those in remote vassal states who cannot get enough gold can use rhino horn, tortoise shell, ivory, emerald, etc. instead of gold.If the gold offered is insufficient in quantity or fineness, the kings will cut down the land, and the princes will destroy the country.
In the time of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, he won [-] titles on the grounds of the amount of donations or insufficient color, accounting for half of the number of princes in the former Han Dynasty.This is called "Golden Seizes the Jue", and "Golden Lost Marquis".
The subsequent emperors could still meet with the shortage of gold and gold, but they never encountered such a large-scale incident again.
When Emperor Renzong was still there, he once lamented with the eldest princess why he never met such a stupid lieutenant like Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty. If there is enough gold, either the donor is still a milk baby, who can't tell the difference between gold and brass, and is coaxed by the servants to offer copper to make up the amount.
There is never a good time to slaughter fat sheep.
Thanks to the Beidi Great Victory and the Hedong case, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs have abundant treasuries. Even the most budget-minded Queen Mother Chen would not be harsh if she lacked such a star.
However, there are sufficient reasons for the words "meat eaters contempt" to be included in Zuo Zhuan.
The eldest princess sighed slightly, and looked at the golden cakes piled up in front of her eyes. They were all yellow in color, and they could even reflect light when placed in the sun.But in fact... She picked up a gold cake and shook it in her hand, and she knew the weight was wrong.
Dajin has strict regulations on currency, one catty equals 16 taels, one tael equals 24 baht, one copper plate weighs five baht, and one gold cake equals one catty.Anything more or less will not work.
Gold cakes and copper cakes of the same size have different weights.
And the piece of gold cake in her hand was only twelve or thirty taels at most.
This is also too much.
Previously there was a case of Hedong, which killed 23 nobles. In all fairness, neither the eldest princess nor Yan Zhaoge wanted to kill the nobles. She is only the regent princess, not the emperor. It is better to kill less It is better to kill less.But if this kind of self-seeking death is let go, I'm afraid it will be punished by heaven.
In particular, the new emperor dared to do such a thing when he worshiped Gaomiao for the first time when he ascended the throne.Do you think that the emperor is young and the eldest princess is regent, and the courtiers will definitely control her?So she didn't dare to punish this person severely?Is this not taking the majesty of the Tian family seriously, or not taking her, the eldest princess, seriously?Or, don't take the emperor seriously?
Since Emperor Shizu, the Jin Dynasty has not used the gold system to severely punish the nobles. These guys probably forgot how to write the word "gold to win the title".What's more, he forgot that Feng Jin didn't follow the rules, but he would quarrel and exterminate the clan.
"Go and find out which one of the families here is the most unruly offering gold. It doesn't matter whether the king is honorable or honorable." The eldest princess ordered.
The servant didn't even move, and said in a low voice: "Reporting to the eldest princess, the most unqualified one is the offering from King Fu."
The eldest princess moved slightly in her heart, and asked, "How much is the difference?"
"Fu Wang only donated 23 yuan, not pure gold."
King Fu's fief is in Donghai County, and he has sealed three counties next to Guangling County. There are a total of 40 households with a population of more than [-]. It is reasonable to donate at least [-] yuan in gold.
"Fu Wang..." The eldest princess sighed faintly.
When Emperor Shizu chose the crown prince, the one who competed most fiercely with Emperor Daizong was Li Wang, who almost overwhelmed Emperor Daizong, so Emperor Daizong was more wary of Li Wang.For King Fu, who was a few years younger than his eldest son, Emperor Daizong treated him as a nephew and took care of him since he was a child.It was also the young King Fu who said that he trusted the third brother more. If the third brother succeeds to the throne, the brothers in the clan will be able to live in peace for a lifetime.In words, he revealed deep distrust towards the fourth-ranked King Li, which became the weight of the decisive victory, and finally the third-ranked Emperor Daizong became the prince.
In order to thank King Fu and win over the clan, Emperor Daizong sealed another county to King Fu.Originally, King Fu had only two counties, and they were both in sparsely populated and barren places. Emperor Daizong personally ordered that King Fu be reassigned to the very affluent Donghai County.There are only 9000 people in the two counties entrusted by King Li, and the three kings of Shenxiangjiang have only one county fief.
Has this become the reason for King Fu to be proud of his favor?
"Inform the Empress Dowager about this matter, and then ask Da Zong to deal with this matter, and don't tolerate it." The princess thought about it for a while, and ordered: "How much is the king of Jinan's donation?"
"I offered three pieces." The servant paused, and said in a low voice, "The heaviest piece is only 12 taels. The piece that the eldest princess took just now was presented by King Jinan."
The so-called self-seeking of death probably refers to this.
"Inform the Empress Dowager about this matter, and deal with it together with King Li."
The sword of the descendants of King Qin is very fast.It is the most convenient way to kill the clan.
After dealing with the matter of Jin Jin, the eldest princess pretended to be innocent and continued to lead the officials to sacrifice to the ancestral temple.
According to the Zhaomu system established during the Zong and Zhou dynasties, the emperor had seven temples, the princes had five temples, the officials had three temples, the scholars had one temple, and the common people had no temples.The Son of Heaven set up seven temples, three Zhao and three Mu, and seven temples of □□.Therefore, no matter how many emperors there are in the Jin Dynasty, only seven emperors can be enshrined at all times.
Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Chengzong before Nanshou, Emperor Muzong during Nanshou, Emperor Shizu, Emperor Daizong, and Emperor Renzong after Nanshou were originally enshrined. Emperor Xiaozong, who was respected as Emperor Xiaozong, wanted to build a temple after his death, so he could only be wronged that Emperor Chengzong, who had made no achievements, attached the god's amulet to Emperor Gaozong's temple.
After Emperor Shizu succeeded to the throne, because he was ashamed of his ancestor's shamelessness, the posthumous posthumous system collapsed. Therefore, the temple names of several emperors between Emperor Muzong and Emperor Zhezong, the father of Emperor Shizu, were abolished. Although the temple name of the emperor before Nanshou It was not abolished, but the temple privileges that should not have been removed were directly removed, such as Emperor Ningzong who was cowardly and was ostracized by powerful officials and relatives.
From offering sacrifices at the Taizong Emperor's Temple all the way to the newly built Xiaozong Emperor's Temple, almost a whole day will pass.
The eldest princess stared at the amulet of God in Emperor Xiaozong's temple for a long time before sighing softly.
Although he passed away earlier than in the previous life, the ending is better now. Your temple is still there, the crown prince has successfully ascended the throne, Cai Guogong and Mao Guogong are still alive, the Jin Dynasty is not in chaos, and the world is peaceful.
You are right, brother Zong.
According to Jin law, every new year, officials and common people can rest for ten days, from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year to the seventh day of the first month of the new year.Each yamen needs to take turns to rest and bathe, and it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of each yamen.
But there are some that are not listed here, such as the top planners in various counties and countries, and the two thousand stones where they go to Beijing to report on their duties.
The officials in charge had to wait for the prime minister's call at the post station at any time, and the two thousand stones who came to Beijing to report on their duties had to wait for the palace to be summoned.
The prefect of Guangling was so anxious at the post station that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his mouth was already blistered from the fire.
There are a total of [-] prefectures in the Great Jin Dynasty. Six of them came to Beijing to report their duties, and five of them were summoned by the eldest princess. He once visited him personally and asked about the general content of the duet with the eldest princess, but found that it was completely different.
For example, the prefect of Yanmen, Yanmen County was originally a border county, and later became an inner county. It is no longer stationed in the field school lieutenant department all the year round, but it has been fighting with the Xiongnu since the former Han Dynasty, and the folk customs are still very strong. fierce.The eldest princess asked about this aspect, and only asked whether the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and whether the spirit of chivalry prevailed.
Another example is Shuofang County, Shuofang County is now a border county, but there are almost no wars, probably because there is a market here that communicates with the Huns and Xianbei.It was set up by Emperor Shizu, and he clearly told the Xiongnu that if they dared to attack with a large army, they would no longer set up a mutual market, so the Xiongnu felt sad.The eldest princess only asked about the situation of the trade market, whether the Huns and Xianbei had committed murder, and whether the merchants who traded here paid taxes.
As for the others, they don't ask about taxes or military service or political achievements in recent years.
What is there in Guangling, located in the south of the Yangtze River?
Nothing.
The prefect of Guangling didn't even dare to guess whether there were other reasons for being ordered to enter Beijing this time.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the servant who passed the imperial edict finally came to the palace and summoned the prefect of Guangling to enter the palace for a duet.
The prefect of Guangling breathed a sigh of relief, and went to Weiyang Palace in a rented carriage.
In the carriage, he thought about what happened before the palace banquet. The child who survived the destruction of the Hong family was changed from Lord Pingshan to Deng Guogong, and he was adopted by King Cao Kang as his heir.Because he didn't know, he purposely inquired and found out that Ping Shanjun's younger sister was in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, because it was not easy to adopt a daughter alone, so he brought his elder brother along with him.
What's the reason for this?
The prefect of Guangling couldn't understand it.Let's not talk about how many daughters there are in the clan, but this younger sister is worth pondering.The destruction of the Hong family was done by him alone, and he remembered very clearly that all the descendants of the Hong family, regardless of their descendants, except the heirs of the King of Jinan, died.In order to keep this matter secret, he personally checked the number of heads, and even the newborn babies were covered with cloth to death.But there is no daughter between King Jinan and that Hong family.
Even if this younger sister is really a remnant of the Hong family, then Deng Guogong's attitude is too strange.Logically speaking, he shouldn't know the truth about the Hong family's extermination.In order to get rid of himself, he asked his cronies to bring gold and invite a group of thieves who did all kinds of evil to do this.After killing the whole family of Hong's family, they led the county soldiers to silence this group of thieves, and none of them escaped.In the end, even the cronies let him find an excuse to execute him, and he also tried every means to bury him in the soil after making good friends with the cronies.
Where did Deng Guogong know about this?
Only the King of Jinan and the old Princess Lu knew about this matter. The deceased King of Lu may have known something inside, but King Lu has been dead for many years, and it is impossible for Duke Deng to know about it from him.It is impossible for the King of Jinan and the old Princess Lu to tell this matter.
The extermination of the Hong family committed the heinous crime of discord. If it was exposed, they would be quarreled and exterminated.
The prefect of Guangling thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out.
How did he know that Si Jianhong was the one who revived his life.Although Si Jianhong didn't know the inside story of the Hong family's destruction of the family, he knew that it was closely related to the King of Jinan who drove his brother out to starve his younger brother to death. He gathered the Lu soldiers and horses, and then broke through the gate of Jinan Palace. First, he hung Princess Lu on the beam, hanged her to death, and then put a knife on King Jinan's neck, and asked the inside story of the Hong family's destruction of the family.The King of Jinan naturally knew everything, so he told everything, and it was clear who did it.It's a pity that he thought that he would survive by telling the truth, but he didn't expect that Si Jianhong would never let him go no matter what.
It's a pity that Guangling County is not a short distance from Lu County, and it was a troubled time. Si Jianhong had no choice but to send troops to kill the Guangling prefect. After the world was at peace, Si Jianhong went to Guangling again and found that the Guangling prefect was dead.
……
The eldest princess was waiting in the imperial study room, she wanted to read the memorials, and then let the little emperor develop a good habit of liking reading the memorials, instead of being like his father, being a shopkeeper all day long.The floor of the imperial study room was covered with thick felt blankets. The little emperor could already walk, but he was still not stable enough. He had to hold on to things, otherwise he would fall to the ground after walking a few steps.
The eldest princess watched her nephew fall down after walking a few steps, while laughing very happily, and only occasionally looked at the memorial. Originally, it was mainly for reading the memorial, but now it was reversed.
Yan Zhaoge sat at the side and read the playbook, wrote a comment or two from time to time, and then glanced at the eldest princess, shaking his head involuntarily.
There are quite a few memorials to be read. After all, officials rested, and major events in the world would not rest, and the courtiers who handed memorials to the palace every day would not refuse to pass them because they rested for a few days.She went back to Jihou's Mansion a few days ago, and after the festival, she worshiped her ancestors again, and only entered the palace today.But he didn't expect to have to do something as soon as he entered the palace, and it was still accumulated for a few days.
"Why didn't you find it so fun to raise children when you were in the Northland?" the eldest princess asked with a smile.
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, and said: "When you were in the Northland, how many times did you see the children in a month? At most, you would go to see them after dinner. If they are asleep, you need to go and see them to see how well they are sleeping. Is it fragrant? Brother Ting was taught by me from toddler to enlightenment."
Because the name of the emperor cannot be outright taboo, in the palace, such as the eldest princess, the empress dowager, etc., are called the little emperor by Tinggeer.
"Are you blaming me for not raising a child?" The Eldest Princess snorted and said, "I don't have time to take care of my children. It's too late to fight for power with the courtiers."
"Who told you that you refused to rely on me at that time."
"Then you have to be reliable. Once you arrive in the north, the soldiers and civilians of Yan will welcome you. Although the soldiers and civilians of Zhao are not so exaggerated, they still love you. The military power is in your hands, and the hearts of the people are also in your hands. Guangnan Hou even handed over the Tiger Talisman to you personally, saying that you will inherit your father's will. The imperial court only has half of the Eighth School of the Beijing Camp, and they are either injured or disabled. How dare you rely on you, a great warlord!"
Yan Zhaoge immediately stopped the pen in his hand, leaned his chin on the desk and looked at her, his eyes were full of smiles, and asked, "Then why are you willing to rely on me afterward?"
The eldest princess thought about it carefully, and said: "I probably think you are reliable."
"Huh? Tell me in detail?"
"I originally thought that you were going to be a powerful minister. You refused to hand over military power and always meddled with the courtiers, so I and the courtiers were on guard against you. When Brother Ting was seriously ill and dying, the courtiers discussed whether to elect a successor. You actually want to support Si Jianhong, who has military exploits, to the throne. Once Si Jianhong succeeds, sooner or later he will disagree with you because of military power, but you still chose Si Jianhong. At that time, I was thinking, you are probably Reliable people."
Yan Zhaoge looked at her and smiled.
The eldest princess felt that her face was burning, so she turned her head to look at the little emperor. The little emperor just couldn't hold on to the cabinet, and fell down on the blanket, lying there in a large font.
The eldest princess laughed out loud.
Yan Zhaoge picked up a pen, took a piece of clean paper, and wrote on the paper while reading: ""Book of Jin·The Chronicle of a certain Emperor·Part [-]"The emperor was half a year old and could walk, his steps were unsteady, and he often fell down. Seeing this, the princess couldn't stop laughing."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was very steady, as if he was reading a history book, but the little emperor might have sensed the malice hidden in Yan Zhaoge's steady voice, so he immediately raised his head, staring back and forth in the imperial study room, mouth He yelled "ah" and "ah".
Yan Zhaoge continued to write, saying: "The emperor fell down, the eldest princess laughed and did not help, the emperor could not get up, and lay on the ground, glaring and not knowing who to look at, screaming from his throat, the sound was like a lion roaring and a tiger roaring, or like a tiger roaring. Eagle chirping, very majestic."
The eldest princess laughed out loud.
The two were laughing when someone from the palace came in to report: "The eldest princess, Marquis Yan, the prefect of Guangling has arrived outside the palace to wait for the imperial edict."
The eldest princess nodded and allowed Guangling prefect to come in.
"Should I avoid it?"
The eldest princess raised her brows, and said: "What are you avoiding? Are you avoiding the matter of you reviewing the memorial for me?" She picked up the little emperor who was lying on the ground and refused to get up, and then stuffed it into Yan Zhaoge's arms, saying: "Hold him and see who dares to let you avoid it."
Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, the prefect of Guangling stepped into the hall, prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The prefect of Guangling pays his respects to the eldest princess."
The eldest princess said rather coldly: "Please get up. Give the Guangling prefect a seat."
The prefect of Guangling thumped in his heart, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Princess Chang, for giving me the seat." Then he got up slowly and sat on the seat brought by the servant.When he saw the eldest princess with a worried face and a young man holding a child, his eyes widened immediately, and the eyeballs almost fell out.
The young man frowned and said, "How dare you face Jinshang so rudely?"
This is the emperor?
Only then did the prefect of Guangling realize that the child being carried was the current emperor. He immediately took off his hat and knelt down, apologizing, "I'm guilty."
Taking advantage of Guangling prefect's loss of sight, the eldest princess turned her head and glared at Yan Zhaoge, saying, "I forgive you for your innocence, get up."
The prefect of Guangling got up again.
"Why you are called to Beijing this time, you know clearly in your heart, so I won't say much." The princess said slowly, "I know that you were the prefect of Jinan, but I don't know how Jinan is?"
The prefect of Guangling felt guilty for a while, and thought that he wanted to ask about the Hong family, so he bit the bullet and said: "Before I leave office, relying on the kindness of the emperor, the people of Jinan live and work in peace and contentment..."
"I thought Qing was not stupid, but pretended to be stupid."
"I don't know... I don't know."
"The Hong family." The Eldest Princess stood up and said, "Do you want me to point out which county the Hong family is from? What is the name of the head of the Hong family, who suffered from it and why?"
Sweat dripped down the Guangling prefect's forehead, and he wanted to say that he didn't know anything about it, but the extermination of the Hong family was a big case no matter which dynasty or generation it was placed in. If he hadn't borrowed the power of the prince, he would have never been able to remain silent. Suppressed soundly.He said: "My minister, I know the Hong family well. The case of the Hong family was committed by the bandits who fled in Ludi. They killed more than a hundred members of the Hong family for gold and silver. This minister had already led the charge back then. The soldiers of Jinan County, with the help of the governor of Donghai, killed all the culprits, and not a single one escaped."
"That is to say, there is no symptom for death?"
"Wei Chen dare not."
The eldest princess sneered, and said: "This thief must be under your orders, or you may have something to do with him, the King of Jinan entrusted you to kill Hong's family, and you wanted to use the power of King Lu to climb up, so you did it. He borrowed the thief to kill the whole family of the Hong family, and then led his troops to kill all the robbers, so he picked himself out of it, right?"
The prefect of Guangling swallowed his throat, pretending to be calm and said: "Chen, I have never done this."
"Okay, it's a good one who has never done this. Do you think that no one will know what you did?" The eldest princess asked in a low voice: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Don't forget, there is A fish that slipped through the net. And now, the fish that slipped through the net has reached the sky in one step."
The prefect of Guangling immediately thought of Si Jianhong, who is now Deng Guogong, and he was extremely panicked, but still held a fluke in his heart.What if?What if the eldest princess has no evidence?If there is any evidence, he should be arrested right now, so why bother talking to him here?It's not because the eldest princess is just guessing and has no evidence.It must have been just to trick him.
The eldest princess stared at him for a moment, with disappointment on her face, and said: "Guangling prefect, you must think that I don't have evidence in my hands, so I lied to you here. But do you think I really can't punish you? You Do you think I don’t know what you did for the King of Lu in Jinan County and for yourself in Guangling County? It’s enough to kill ten of you. It’s not you that I want to punish.”
The prefect of Guangling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there is no evidence, and he was not the one who punished?If every sentence of the emperor's words is true, how can there be so many honorable ministers who were deceived and committed suicide?He knelt down on the ground, bowed his body and said: "I really didn't do it, please let the eldest princess know."
The eldest princess was silent for a moment, and said: "You go out of the palace."
Can I leave the palace now?He's here to report on his work, don't you want to ask Guangling?Just for the Hong family's affairs?Deng Guogong is so valued by the eldest princess?Or is it that the eldest princess is actually eyeing that one?
"Marquis Yan, send the Guangling prefect out of the palace."
The prefect of Guangling was taken aback again, Marquis Yan?That young man is Yanhou?With a very handsome appearance, is that the Marquis of Yan who was killed in the river east?
Yan Zhaoge had been coaxing the little emperor to play, and when he heard that he put the little emperor on the couch, the little emperor left her arms, and immediately cried out in dissatisfaction.
"Come back and play with Brother Ting again, okay?" Yan Zhaoge coaxed the little emperor as if no one was there, holding his index finger and the little emperor's hand together.
The little emperor patted the cushion on the couch vigorously, then turned his head away.
The heart of the prefect of Guangling was like a stormy sea.He only knew that Marquis Yan was valued by the eldest princess, and also by the palace, and had been endorsed by two generations of emperors, but he didn't expect the new emperor to rely on Marquis Yan so much.If you can climb up to the Marquis of Yan, you will definitely be able to climb straight up...
Yan Zhaoge got up, walked forward, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the Guangling prefect, and said, "Guangling prefect, please go ahead."
Only then did the Guangling prefect realize that he was still sitting on his seat, so he immediately stood up and said to Yan Zhaoge, "Excuse me, Marquis Yan, to lead the way."
The two walked out one after the other, and when they were about to leave the imperial study, the Guangling prefect suddenly turned his head for some reason, and saw the eldest princess looking at him calmly, and said: "The prefect should know, the former A few days ago, the second son of King Lu entered the palace and sued Princess Lu and King Jinan for the crime of disharmony."
The prefect of Guangling staggered.
Unless it is a heinous crime, you must never sue your close relatives. Falsely accusing your close relatives is a capital crime, and you will be sentenced to a broken car.If the second son of King Lu dared to sue, it proved that the second son of King Lu knew the inside story.
But how did the second son of King Lu know?How is it possible to know?Where did he know?
Not allowing the prefect of Guangling to think too much, the eldest princess continued: "Since the prefect of Guangling is unwilling to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, I will hand over this responsibility to the second son of King Lu. Please." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at the prefect of Guangling.
The prefect of Guangling raised his head blankly to look at Yan Zhaoge standing in front of him, the corner of the other party's lips curled up slightly, showing him a harmless smile.For some reason, he shivered suddenly.
"Prefect of Guangling, please go ahead." Yan Zhaoge repeated.
The prefect of Guangling followed Yan Zhaoge with a stiff body and walked forward, one step, two steps, three steps... Suddenly his feet softened, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop".Crying loudly, he crawled back to the imperial study room, kowtowed to the eldest princess and said, "I am guilty...I am guilty! The guilty minister pleads guilty!"
He thought clearly about his interests in an instant. Now that Deng Guogong has reached the sky in one step, and he seems to know the inside story, he will definitely not let him go. revenge.In this case, he might as well plead guilty to the eldest princess. If the eldest princess keeps her promise, he can still save his own life. Even if the eldest princess repents, he will commit suicide and apologize, but he can save his family.Otherwise, if they resist to the end, they may end up in the situation where the whole family will be executed and exiled.
The eldest princess sighed slightly, and said to Yan Zhaoge: "Marquis Yan, bring the Jin Yiwei back."
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands and said: "This minister takes orders." Then he walked out of the imperial study.
The prefect of Guangling was trembling while crying, the fear in his heart couldn't be increased.If it was a young man, he might not take Jin Yiwei seriously, but he grew up listening to Jin Yiwei's reputation and knew how cruel Jin Yiwei's methods were.Jin Yiwei?What do you want to use Jinyiwei for?Could it be that as soon as he leaves the palace, he will be arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison?Those punishments will be added to him...
"Your Highness! The guilty minister pleaded guilty!" The prefect of Guangling grabbed the ground with his head, and his forehead was covered with blood.
This is to see the coffin without tears.The eldest princess thought.Why did Jin Yiwei withdraw to lie to the prefect of Guangling? Jin Yiwei has just returned, so how can there be so many people available?
"Since you have pleaded guilty, let's talk over there." The eldest princess said, seeing the Guangling prefect raised his head, with tears, snot, and blood mixed on his face, he felt sick, and ordered: "Come here, give Guangling prefect a beat." Clean your face with a basin of water."
"The guilty minister thanked the eldest princess." Guangling prefect thanked.After cleansing his face, his mood became much more stable. He still knelt on the ground and said, "The matter of the Hong family was entrusted by the king of Jinan and ordered by the criminal officials. What the eldest princess said is the truth. It's just that those culprits are not related to me. The criminal ministers had something to do with them, and they didn't obey their orders. Those thieves came from Donghai County. It was said that they had committed countless crimes and had countless lives in their hands. Jinan's county soldiers killed the bandits."
The eldest princess said in her heart that it was so, and at the same time felt very colic in her heart.Hearing what Guangling prefect said so lightly, she was almost about to slash this man with a sword.If it wasn't, if it wasn't that she had more doubts about this matter... She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Why are you willing to obey the King of Jinan?"
The King of Jinan smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that the guilty minister obeyed the Jinan King, but someone wanted the criminal to obey the Jinan King." He paused, and said, "Princess, the criminal is from Kaiyang in the East China Sea. When I was studying, my family was poor, and my father died young, so I was able to continue my studies with the support of the nobles. When I became an official, my grandparents passed away one after another, and the nobles paid for the grandparents of the guilty minister. After that, the guilty minister kept his filial piety for six years, and it was still the same. This noble person opened the way for the guilty minister to serve as the prefect of Jinan. Even now, the guilty minister's widowed mother is still living in Kaiyang. One is for kindness, and the other is for filial piety, the guilty minister has no choice but to do so."
The three counties of Quyang, Kaiyang and Jianyang in Donghai County are the fiefdoms of King Fu.
The eldest princess had realized who this nobleman was, but she still asked, "Which one is this nobleman from the clan?"
"It's King Fu."
The eldest princess frowned.She should have realized that something was wrong when she saw King Fu, who looked younger than the three kings of Shen Xiangjiang. As far as she knew, in order to reassure Emperor Daizong, King Fu had never practiced martial arts, and he even refused to study. He only knew about eating, drinking and having fun. , and was denounced by Emperor Shizu as ignorant.Since he only knows how to eat, drink and play, it doesn't make sense that Emperor Renzong has died of illness for many years, but King Fu's physique is still so good.
No wonder, no wonder King Fu's gold is so short, he has been coveting the throne for so long, he has prepared countless things, but no one finds out, how can he be unhappy?How could he be unhappy?
Emperor Daizong was still on guard against King Fu, but Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xian had no defense against King Fu. Emperor Renzong only stared at Marquis Yan, and Emperor Xian was a hands-off shopkeeper. When she first came to power, how could she have thought that King Fu would have such thoughts? Woolen cloth?Guangling is a land of wealth and wealth. Did the Duke of Shu in his previous life win the throne with the help of King Fu?
"Why did King Fu ask you to do this?"
"The criminal minister doesn't know." Guangling prefect said: "The criminal minister can only obey the orders of King Fu, and he doesn't know anything else."
"What else do you know? Even some clues and speculation."
The prefect of Guangling kowtowed to the eldest princess and begged: "Eldest princess, please protect the widowed mother of the sinner."
"This palace will definitely."
"The guilty minister guessed that King Fu should want to drive a wedge between the Tian family and the royal family." Guangling prefect said in a low voice, "Before prefect Gu died of illness, King Fu sent someone to send a letter to the guilty minister, telling him to prepare for his transfer to Guangling. From this, it can be deduced that the guilty minister thought that the murder of the Hong family might have been promoted by King Fu, so that Lu Wang's mansion was separated from the Tian family and from the late emperor."
The eldest princess's body shook violently, she felt dizzy in her brain, and she almost couldn't stand up.She said: "What else, let's talk about it one by one."
"The sinful minister once went to Fu Wang's mansion and met the prince Fu. At that time, the prince Fu was drunk and once said that it was Cao Wang, and he only had one life."
One life, one life at a time.
The eldest princess's face was pale, and she almost fainted. She held on to the table and ordered: "Call Yanhou to come in."
Yan Zhaoge stood outside all the time, only separated by a screen, and could hear everything. Hearing the voice, he immediately stepped into the imperial study room without waiting for the palace servants to send a message. The princess helped her to sit on the couch.
The eldest princess wasted too much, leaning on the pillow, whispered: "You ask for me."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, looked at the Guangling prefect, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with King Cao?"
"The criminal minister doesn't know, the criminal minister only heard this sentence."
Afterwards, he asked some other questions, and the prefect of Guangling answered them all, knowing everything without saying anything.I asked what I had asked again, and the answer was slightly different, but there was no discrepancy.Yan Zhaoge looked at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess nodded slightly, so Yan Zhaoge asked the prefect of Guangling to write all these things on a piece of paper, and asked him to press his fingerprints.
"It's about the lives of more than a hundred members of the Hong family, and it also involves King Cao Kang. Since you have learned about King Cao from Prince Li's son, you should know who King Cao Kang is and how important it is to the Tian family. This matter is very important. , if I let you out of the palace, King Fu will definitely murder you, and in the end there will be no proof, just like what you have done." Yan Zhaoge said: "I will send you to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, Jinyiwei are all my people, Even flies can't escape. This move is to save your life, not to arrest you for questioning."
"The guilty minister understands." The prefect of Guangling took off his official hat, untied the ribbon around his waist and put the bag with the official seal on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The Jin Yiwei never needs to explain when he asks someone for a crime. Wait until now Knowing the matter, the guilty minister committed suicide to apologize, please save the guilty minister's widowed mother."
Yan Zhaoge personally locked up the prefect of Guangling and sent him to Jinyi Weizhao Prison. He also ordered his cronies to guard him, and clearly said: Except for himself and the eldest princess, no matter who, even if it is the empress dowager and the empress dowager. Never be allowed to see the prefect of Guangling, and the whole family of those who violate it will be exiled.
After finishing this matter, she returned to the palace. The eldest princess was already lying down in the Jinyang Palace. Her complexion improved a lot, but she still lost a little color. It could be seen that her mind was exhausted and she was thinking too much.
"Yongyue, I used to think that Brother Cao Wang died of illness because of accumulated worries. I also saw clearly that Brother Cao Wang passed away in private. I didn't expect that there would be King Fu's handwriting in it. "
Yan Zhaoge hugged her, and softly comforted her: "This is just the Guangling prefect's one-sided words, and things may not be like this."
The eldest princess shook her head, and said: "It's a lie, and it has become true from the mouth of the Guangling prefect at this time. Fu Wang Jin Jin disrespected his ancestors, ordered people to kill Gu Shize, and was suspected of coveting the throne. Brother Cao Wang Even if his death has nothing to do with the Fu Wang Mansion, in order to persuade the Zongzheng Mansion to support the royal family in abolishing the Fu Wang Mansion, this hat must be put on Fu Wang's head. I have ordered people to send the complaint to Shou Ning Palace."
Yan Zhaoge let out a long sigh, and said, "Now we can only be thankful that the Poison King has never held military power."
The eldest princess leaned in her arms, feeling deeply tired.
"I used to, why would I like to be in power..."
"Probably because I didn't like me before." Yan Zhaoge kissed her ear lightly, and said, "Now that I like me, I don't like being in power anymore."
The eldest princess laughed, "You are so annoying."
The author has something to say: The loss of the Duke of Jin was a matter during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. For details, you can refer to Baidu Encyclopedia.
People often beat 酎 (four tones zhou) gold into wine (two tones chou) gold.
Gou refers to fine wine that has been brewed several times, and judging refers to pouring wine.
[-] words update!Cool!If you are cool, tell me loudly!If there are more people who are cool, I will continue to add more!
It’s okay to be upset (whispers).
