Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Perhaps he struck too hard that day, scaring everyone. From then on, no one in Gong Xue dared to provoke Wei Chongrong.It is said that the boy who was injured the most was still a child of the clan. His grandfather was so angry that he sued the emperor.

Wei Su was not angry when he heard the news, he just replied indifferently, children, it's normal to fight and fight, it's fine after the fight, adults don't want to get involved.Everyone suddenly realized that the emperor still protected his grandson after all, otherwise he would still be able to protect him by beating him up like that.

In fact, the emperor still couldn't say that he had a good impression of Wei Chongrong, but his grandson could dislike him, but others didn't.

Besides, Wei Chongrong is a little older, not even five years old, and if someone bullies him, he can fight back by himself, instead of running home crying and complaining to Wei Zhao. This performance is still very good.

The children who besieged Wei Chongrong were all older than him, more people bullied the few, the older ones bullied the younger ones, but in the end they couldn't beat them. Is there any reason?The emperor's eccentricity is a matter of course.

After this incident, Wei Chongrong's biggest gain was the addition of a little tail named Gu Chuan.In the past, Gu Chuan was nice to him, better than any other classmates in the class, but their relationship was always polite and there was no in-depth communication.

After the fight, when Gu Chuan looked at Wei Chongrong again, his eyes were filled with admiration. No matter what he did, he followed suit.Although Wei Chongrong is not good at dealing with children, but Gu Chuan sticks close to him, outsiders can see that they are best friends.

Gu Chuan is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi, Gu Yao. There are more than 20 people in his class. Apart from Wei Mao and Wei Chongrong, he is the highest status. He has a good relationship with Wei Chongrong. Affected.

How did Wei Mao know that Wei Chongrong and Gu Chuan were being chased and intercepted by people? He only saw that Wei Chongrong was good in everything, the teacher of Gong Xue liked him, and the classmates liked him. Chongrong was also full of praise.

Wei Mao is not an idiot, he will not just look at the appearance and not investigate the reasons, since everyone said that Wei Chongrong is good, he has to see how good he is.After several comparisons, Wei Mao was convinced. He had to admit that he was really inferior in skills.

My father said, be brave after knowing your shame; my father also said, it is never too late to make up for it.Wei Mao regarded Wei Chongrong as the target of catching up, and began to work hard.Wei Ming and Jun Feili were deeply relieved to see that their youngest son had finally become sensible, and they were even more grateful to Wei Chongrong.

It's not that Wei Chongrong didn't notice Wei Mao's changes, but he didn't care. As long as Wei Mao didn't bother him anymore, he would be very grateful.Otherwise, their conflicts would have an impact on the relationship between Wei Ming and Wei Zhao.

At the end of April, a major event happened in the imperial court, and Shangguan Ao, the secretary of the imperial court, died of illness.

Shangguan Ao is Wei Su's most trusted minister in his life. He has been serving as a provincial servant since the 15th year of Yongjia, and he is conscientious and dedicated.

In the 30th year of Yongjia, Shangguan Ao was transferred to Zhongshu Ling until today.

The Dayan Dynasty did not set up the post of prime minister, and the duties and powers originally belonged to the prime minister were shared by the governors of the three provinces—namely Zhongshuling, Shizhong, and Shangshuling.

The division of labor among the three provinces is as follows. Zhongshu Province is mainly responsible for discussing the drafting of bills with the emperor and drafting imperial edicts.Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the content of the edict and returning it to Zhongshu Province according to the situation.These two departments are decision-making bodies, and the decrees that pass the review are handed over to the Ministry of Shangshu for implementation.

Therefore, although Shangshuling has a high position, he is the ultimate minister but has no real power. It is Zhongshuling and Shizhong who actually exercise the power of prime minister.

Shangguan Ao served as a servant for 15 years and as a secretary for 16 years. Wei Su, who was suspicious by nature, had a lot of trust in him. It was obvious how capable he was.

Since the beginning of this year, Shangguan Ao has been complaining of illness at home, and the eyes of all the officials in the court immediately focused on Shangguan's house.

After all, an official position above the third rank has always been a radish and a pit.The pit in front is occupied by radishes, no matter how capable you are, you will not be able to rise up.

Once Shangguan Ao went, the vacant position would not be a Zhongshuling position, it would affect the whole body.

Those who can succeed Shangguan Ao are either the original servants and Shang Shuling, or the two ministers of Zhongshu Province.As a result, their positions are vacant, and someone has to fill them.Therefore, everyone from top to bottom paid close attention to Shangguan Ao's life and death.

In April, the crown prince and the emperor visited one after another, and everyone immediately understood that Shangguan Ao was doomed.

Sure enough, on the fifth day after Wei Su saw Shangguan Ao, the news of Duke Yue's death spread.

Shangguan Ao had no children, so he adopted Shangguan Xuan, the eldest son of his younger brother Shangguan Xiang, as his heir.After his death, the title of Duke of Yue was inherited by Shangguanxuan, which was a matter of course.As for the new Zhongshu Ling, Wei Su has not announced the candidate for a long time.

During the period when Shangguan Ao was sick, Jiang Che, the right servant, was in charge of the daily affairs of Zhongshu Province.Jiang Che has a stable personality, is cautious in handling things, and handles everything properly without any blemishes.

Of course, Jiang Che's ability is nothing to say, but his age is too young for the position of Zhongshu Ling.In the more than 200 years since the founding of Dayan, there has never been a governor of the three provinces under the age of 30. If Jiang Che wants to take the position, he may have to wait.

If Jiang Che is only lacking in qualifications, then Xue Rui, the left servant of Zhongshu, is lacking in ability.More people are optimistic about the current attendants Gu Yao and Shang Shuling Sun Shu. No matter which of these two is the top, it will not be surprising.

Wei Chongrong's classmates, apart from the clan's children, were all descendants of high-ranking officials, and the shock caused by Shangguan Ao's death was closely related to each of their families.

Although the parents should have told their children not to talk casually outside, they still couldn't stop the children talking in private.Wei Chongrong and Gu Chuan never participated in this discussion, for different reasons.

Wei Chongrong knew everything, so he had nothing to say.Not only did he know that Gu Yao was the successor to Zhongshuling, he also knew that Shangguanxuan was the successor to Shizhong.

Wei Su's trust and reliance on the Shangguan's family was almost outrageous.As soon as Shangguan Ao's first seven days passed, he let Shangguanxuan "take love", for fear that the Shangguan family would not have a place in the center of power.

Wei Chongrong's most annoying thing about Shangguan's family is that they are completely different from the Xue family who flatter and flatter him. The three Shangguan Ao brothers are all capable.It's a pity that their ambitions are as great as their abilities, what they want, the Wei family can't afford.

Not to mention Shangguan Ao, he has been an extremely human minister for decades, and his two younger brothers, Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Xiang, are also among the dragons and phoenixes.

If it is said that during the Yongjia Dynasty, the Dayan Dynasty recovered all the lost land in northern Xinjiang thanks to the efforts of the Changning Palace, then the six counties recovered in Southern Xinjiang were all thanks to Shangguan Yi and Mrs. Li and his husband-in-law.

Shangguan Xiang is even a world-renowned miracle doctor. It is said that he can "live the flesh and bones of the dead", who would dare not confess him.

On the contrary, Shangguan Ling, who entered the palace as a concubine, brought limited benefits to the Shangguan family. Her son was weak and sick, and his ability to live to the age of marriage depended on Shangguan Xiang's medical skills.Thinking about it now, Shangguan's family was a blessing in disguise. Wei Su never had any taboo against them, but against Ji's family.

When Wei Xu chose his concubine, the great families avoided it. No one wanted their daughter to be a widow in the future, but Shangguan Ao sent his only daughter to the palace.His reason is very good, Shangguan Chanjuan is a cousin, and she will definitely take good care of the second prince, so she has a good impression in front of Wei Su.Wei Xu died at the age of 20 and had no children. Shangguan Chanjuan spent the rest of her life with Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, how cruel.

In the year when Wei Xu passed away, Li Shi, the imperial concubine who had been in the palace for many years but was not favored, was favored in one fell swoop, not to mention being promoted to four ranks. In the second year, she even gave birth to the fifth prince, Wei Shi.Concubine Yun Li is the younger sister of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's wife is Shangguan Pingting, the daughter of Shangguan Yi.

Wei Chongrong didn't believe that there was no role of Shangguan's family behind the rise of Concubine Yun. Even Li Huan also relied on Shangguan Yi's prestige to rise up.But Mrs. Li is dead, and Concubine Yun is also dead. The helpless Wei Shi has become a pawn that the Shangguan family can discard at any time.

Just as Wei Chongrong predicted, Gu Yao became the new Zhongshu Ling, and the vacant post of servant was...

But was filled by Jiang Che? !

As for Shangguanxuan, he went home to Ding You, and it is impossible to come back for three years.

Wei Chongrong was dumbfounded, why?Why is it different from his memory?who is it?Who made the suspicious emperor change his original decision?

After much deliberation, he finally put the credit on Wei Zhao.Because compared with the previous life, only he and Wei Zhao were extra, and he certainly could not have any influence on the emperor, and the rest could only be Wei Zhao.

Jiang Che's replacement of Shangguanxuan's position is definitely a good thing for the East Palace.What Wei Chongrong couldn't figure out was how Wei Zhao did this. His influence on Wei Su couldn't be greater than that of Wei Ming.

Wei Chongrong tried to find the answer from Wei Zhao, but he dismissed him with one word.The children's task is to study hard, and don't worry about other things, because you don't understand anyway.

Is it a question of how much to read?This is information inequality!Wei Chongrong was a little bit crazy, but unfortunately Wei Zhao was very tight-lipped, he really couldn't ask, so he had to give up.

In June, there was a "big news" in the palace that Wei Chongrong had known for a long time, and Zhao Ji was delighted.When the news came out, everyone in the palace was shocked.

You know, the emperor is really not young anymore at his old age.It is not surprising that it is impossible to add another child in the sixtieth year.

In the early years, the emperor was in short supply of sons, and the empresses in the harem gave birth to seven fairies for him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came late.In the following ten years, the second prince Wei Xu, the third prince Wei Xiao, and the fourth prince Wei Zhao were successively added to the palace.

When Wei Zhao was born, Wei Su was almost forty years old, and for more than ten years since then, no prince or princess has been born in the palace.Wei Zhao grew up as the youngest son of the legitimate family, so he was naturally favored by thousands of people, and he developed a willful and reckless temperament.

14 years later, when Concubine Yun gave birth to the fifth prince, Wei, people marveled at the emperor's old age and strength, but Wei Zhao's status cannot be replaced by Wei Shi.It wasn't until Wei Zhao was captured that Wei Su paid more attention to the young Wei Shi.

Now, Wei Shi was already nine years old, and the emperor was able to give him younger brothers and sisters. Apart from admiration, everyone had nothing to say.

As for Zhao Ji, not many people took her seriously, she was just a sixth-rank concubine, so what if she was pregnant.Concubine Yun in front is the best example. Concubine Yun also has an elder brother who can fight, but Mrs. Li is dead. She and Wei Shi have nothing to rely on, and she died of illness soon. Show more love.Zhao Ji's family background is far worse than that of Concubine Yun, and she can be loved for a long time just because she is young and beautiful.

Wei Chongrong didn't think so. One must know that Zhao Ji's son was Wei Yang, the successor to the throne after Wei Su.

As the biggest beneficiary of the witchcraft incident, Wei Chongrong never believed that Zhao Ji had nothing to do with it.It's just that her abilities were limited, and she died in the second year of Wei Yang's ascension to the throne-suspected to be the hands of the Shangguan family-so Wei Chongrong was not sure about her role in the whole thing.

Most likely, there is someone else behind Zhao Ji. She is just a chess piece, and she is also an abandoned piece. She is abandoned when her goal is achieved.If Zhao Ji didn't die, she would be able to be regent of her mother, and Princess Wanchun would not need to return to the palace to raise Wei Yang. The Shangguan family's control over the inner palace would not be so strong.

It's a pity that before the 16th year of Taiping, the Shangguan family had the final say on the imperial court and palace, and the related materials of the witchcraft incident were almost destroyed by Wei Su. Wei Chongrong wanted to find out when the Shangguan family started to make arrangements. And how to control it, there is no way to start.

He only knew that a woman who knew how to claim that she was "Dream Day into Her Arms" must have enough scheming, but unfortunately Wei Su believed her words, and Wei Yang's name came from it.

The news of Zhao Ji's pregnancy was less than ten days old, and the harem spread the good news that Yan's attendant also appeared, and people said that he was "a dream moon in her arms".

When Wei Chongrong heard about this, he was surprised and amused at the same time.In his previous life, he didn't know that there was Yan Li in Wei Su's harem, so he was extremely inconspicuous in the palace.Who knows that now, he is actually pregnant, which is about the same time as Zhao Ji.

It's impossible that this matter is also related to Wei Zhao, although he and Yan Li really have some unknown special relationship.But if this is the case, the scope of Wei Zhao's intervention is too wide. Wei Chongrong is a little unbelievable because he is everywhere in the front and rear palaces.

The funniest thing is that when Zhao Ji said that she "dreams the sun into her bosom", Yan Li immediately "dreams the moon into her bosom", which made the originally magical saying like a child's play.

Back then, the queen was pregnant with the prince, but she never dreamed of anything. Why did the two little sixth-rank concubines receive so much love from the heavens.The emperor was skeptical at first, and felt that there was no harm in believing, and he was lucky to say it, but now he refused to believe it.

According to the usual practice, the low-ranking concubines in the harem and the concubines who are pregnant are all promoted. Wei Su was annoyed by the jealousy between Zhao Ji and Yan Li, and no one was promoted, but rewarded with gold and silver. The queen and Ling Shijun took good care of people respectively.

Zhao Ji was very dissatisfied, and always felt that Yan Li had disturbed her good affairs, otherwise she would have been a noble concubine.Yan Li refused to accept it, saying that you are allowed to dream of the sun, but I am not allowed to dream of the moon.If it wasn't for the fact that the East and West Zodiacs were not connected, I don't know what kind of trouble they would have.

This is the case with everything, and it is not surprising that there are too many, and "Old Laizi" is no exception.Wei Su didn't say that he was tired of Zhao Ji and Yan's servants, but he was not as ecstatic as he was at first. He had all his sons and daughters, and two more seemed to make no difference.

In the spring of the next year, Yan Li gave birth to the sixth prince, Wei Hao, three days before Zhao Ji.Zhao Ji was half a beat too late, and Wei Yang became the seventh prince.

The sixtieth birthday has a son, good things come in pairs, Wei Su's joy goes without saying.He promoted Yan Li and Zhao Ji to be Noble Attendant and Noble Concubine respectively. Compared with Concubine Hui that Wei Chongrong remembered, he was much worse.

Faced with a world that is more and more different from what he remembers, Wei Chongrong has changed from the initial shock to the current habit.

When it comes to the influence on the Dayan Dynasty, he and Wei Zhao are not in the same order of magnitude at all.From the day Wei Zhao came back alive, many things have changed, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, in short, it is different from before.

Shangguanxuan Dingyou has been worrying for three years, no one can guarantee what position he will have when he comes back.The current Zhongshuling Gu Yao, servant Jiang Che, and Shangshuling Sun Shu cannot be said to be all facing the East Palace, but no one is standing on the opposite side of the East Palace.

Xue Rui was incompetent in discipline, and his son was violent. The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable. If the wandering Taoist priest he recommended hadn't won the emperor's favor, he might not be able to keep his position as Zhongshu Zuo Shilang.

There is still no evidence for Xiao Feng's murder of Ji Xin, but the five consecutive exercises of the East and West Battalions all ended with a complete victory for the East City Battalion, which made Wei Su have to consider whether the position of the West City General should be replaced.

As for Su Wen, every time he saw Wei Chongrong, he was always polite, more kind than to the emperors and grandsons in the East Palace.Wei Chongrong reckoned that the real culprit who killed his nephew had already been solved by Wei Zhao.

Everything has two sides, if there is a good side, there must be a bad side.The external environment of the East Palace is gradually improving, but internal conflicts are also growing.

This is not to say that the Wei Ming and Wei Zhao brothers are at odds, but that they have obvious differences in their political views.

Wei Su devoted his whole life to regaining all the lost land in northern Xinjiang. He had done it, but it was a pity that Youzhou was lost again, and the success fell short.

If Youzhou had never returned to the territory of Dayan, Wei Su might not be too obsessed with it. If it is really impossible to get it back, it can be left to the king of later generations.

It's a pity that the situation in Youzhou was not like this. It was fought back and then snatched back, which became the deepest thorn in Wei Su's heart.In his lifetime, he must take back Youzhou, and he cannot go to see the ancestors of the Wei family on the charge of losing his land.

Every time the emperor said that he wanted to recover Youzhou, the crown prince would always speak out against it. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other.

Although Wei Ming's words were reasonable, Wei Chongrong knew very well that he couldn't persuade Wei Su.Otherwise, where did Yongjia's fiasco in 48 years come from, and how did Junhua become an orphan at a young age.

In the previous life, Wei Su asked Jun Qing to lead this battle because he had no suitable generals in hand, so he had to do it as a last resort.Now that Wei Zhao and Ji Xin are doing well, it is probably not Junqing's turn to go to the battlefield.

However, although Jun Qing's personality is not decisive enough, his ability to march and fight, and to deploy troops is the same as Wei Zhao's, which was taught by Wei Su himself.The main reason for the failure of that war was not him, but the lack of preparations in all aspects.

Therefore, Wei Chongrong was very worried. If Wei Su insisted on fighting Fuyu, even if Wei Zhao was replaced as the leader, the result might not be much better than the previous life.If that is the case, Wei Zhao will never turn around in this life.

As soon as the spring military exercise ended, Wei Su proposed a decision to use troops against Fuyu at the court.Wei Ming routinely objected, thinking that this was a waste of money and people, and the gain outweighed the loss.

Wei Su's face was expressionless, and he said for a while, "Prince, tell me, how can you recover all the land lost in the Shenchuan period without using troops?"

Wei Ming was at a loss for words, no matter how many realistic reasons he could give, as long as Wei Su brought out the legacy of Emperor Taizu, he would have no way to refute it.

After a long silence, Wei Zhao walked out of the court, cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to lead the army to take back the lost land for Dayan."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.The crown prince and King Qin, is this a rivalry?
