Jianjia Chronicle

It's really hard for Bo Ran to say whether there are many advantages or disadvantages of pretending to be a son and groom, but it's just one point, and she obviously sees a wider range of things.Although the folk customs here are open, and the defense of men and women is not as strict as that of later generations, but women still have to do at least a husband and a child, and the righteousness of the three obediences and the four virtues also exists. This can be seen from her mother. From her point of view, the Xie family She has good knowledge, reads a lot of poetry and books, has a pure heart, and a lofty state of mind, but no matter how virtuous she is, she can only marry and have children. Unfortunately, she meets a husband who wants to disturb the family. She couldn't yell, let alone reconcile. In order to give her natal family an extra layer of security, she dedicated her daughter.

Thanks to Erlang's broad knowledge, Bo Ran's wish to be a peacock girl cannot be fulfilled.She had to be strong, otherwise, with her special status, if she couldn't protect herself from being exposed, or if she couldn't protect herself after being exposed, she might die without a place to die.

Having died once and traveled to this place to start a new life, Bo Ran cherished his life and would never allow that kind of thing to happen.

At this moment, Bo Ran, who regretted her life, was sitting with her two short legs outstretched on the couch behind the mica screen in the study of Marquis Linzi. She has been six months old and can sit alone.Outside the screen, the Marquis of Linzi was discussing matters with a subordinate official.The Marquis of Linzi, an old man who has never taught children, thinks about it, his grandson is really young, and he may not understand some profound truths, and seeing that the little Aran is so cute, he never cries for no reason, so he simply follows his daughter-in-law every now and then. The child was brought over and placed behind the mica screen to cultivate her political awareness from an early age.

Bo Ran sighed secretly, thinking about those who become empress dowagers and empresses, those who listen to politics behind the curtain are really nothing, she will start listening to politics behind the screen as soon as she can crawl.

The ancestors of the Bai family took a look at the situation in the last years of the previous dynasty when several forces were fighting in the world. They were all unsightly upstarts with mud legs. Shou, although his family background is not prominent, but compared to others, he is already very particular, so he gave a small push on etiquette. After several years of hard work, I finally won the world.After the Sima clan was firmly seated on the throne, Si En Tu reported that the Suzerain of the Bai clan at that time was enfeoffed as Liehou, and Linzi was designated as his fief, with ten thousand households in the city.Here there is no such thing as demotion to the title, and the marquis has been passed down from generation to generation. Until this generation of Marquis of Linzi, he has enjoyed [-] households in the town, and is more domineering than some uncles in today's world.

However, no matter how domineering the Marquis of Linzi is, he is only a prince, not a real job, and cannot receive government affairs. The Marquis of Linzi has another position in the court, and his position is even more domineering, called Prime Minister.There is a saying: "The prime minister should assist the emperor to manage yin and yang, obey the four seasons, and follow the best conditions for all things. He will caress the princes of the four barbarians outside and attach himself to the people inside, so that the high officials can hold their own positions." From this sentence It can be seen that the prime minister is very domineering and can control a lot, and can get a foot in everything, but just because there are too many and no focus, this position seems to be very empty. Therefore, Linzi Hou also took the position of Shao Situ and took charge of the world's finances.

From what she has heard and seen these days, Bo Ran feels that her family has reached its peak, and if she wants to reach a higher level, she has to overthrow the imperial court and become the emperor herself.However, this kind of thing is usually done by mud legs (peasant uprising) or something. The aristocratic families are disdainful. They have wealth, power, and background and fame that even the royal family envy. As long as the emperor does not agree with them If you can't make it through, why do you have to overthrow the court?After all, it is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive to overthrow a dynasty.Moreover, this dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and it is quite stable.

All of this, including the family history of the Bai family, Bo Ran didn't know about. The virtue of a gentleman was cut off for the fifth generation, and the Bai family has far more than the fifth generation.She is only worried, according to the principle that things must be reversed when they are extreme, and what will happen when the Bo family declines.

Outside the screen, the calm and elegant voice of Marquis Linzi came slowly: "Is there any difficult matter to discuss?"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately said: "Empress Dowager Jiang's three-year sacrifice, King Zhao is on the table, and wants to go to Beijing to pay homage."

There was a quiet and dense discussion, and then someone said: "King Zhao, you are very powerful. Now that the East Palace has not been established, it is not good to let him enter the capital, for fear of trouble."

Someone retorted: "King Zhao, Empress Dowager Jiang's own son, your majesty's younger brother, his mother refused to let him pay homage to him for three years. It seems that your majesty is not magnanimous and embarrassing your younger brother."

Someone added: "Empress Dowager Jiang asked Her Majesty to treat King Zhao kindly, and His Majesty agreed with tears."

Inside, Bo Ran was tired from sitting, so she twisted her body and fell on the couch. Aru, who was serving her, hurriedly stepped forward to straighten her.The Marquis of Linzi asked her to listen to his discussions here in order to cultivate her political sensitivity from the moment, but she is still a child, so she doesn't demand to be serious, she can listen to as much as she wants, she can sleep or play, as long as she doesn't make too much noise It’s fine to cry and make noise, Bo Ran came through clothes, of course she won’t open her mouth and howl like a child, she is very good, most of the time she listens well, the difference lies in listening when sitting, lying down, crooked or lying down listen.Marquis Linzi is very satisfied with her, for a child, this is considered very obedient.

Bo Ran felt that this position was uncomfortable, so she turned over, put her face against the mat, and listened on her stomach.Seeing this, Aru backed away again.

Everyone discussed again, and someone with a low voice said: "King Zhao is allowed to bring ten horses into the capital." It not only fulfilled the filial piety of the emperor and him, but also made him unconditional to cause trouble.

The Marquis of Linzi integrated the opinions of all the people and concluded: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, he speaks his words and is broad-minded, and King Zhao is also filial. A person should always be based on the two characters of benevolence and filial piety."

Everyone should be.

After listening to Bo Ran, he thought for a while, the eldest father was a neutral faction, he neither helped the emperor to suppress King Zhao, nor helped King Zhao to help him achieve success.

At this time, someone came to report from outside the door, and the queen diagnosed Huamai, who was three months pregnant.There was a sudden silence outside, and after a long while, Linzi Hou Fang smiled and said: "The queen is pregnant, and Da Shao is expected to succeed. It is related to Guozuo. The capital may be busy for some time. The matter of King Zhao's entry to the capital is not in a hurry to play. Wait for your Majesty to ask, and then answer. Not too late."

If he can give birth to a prince, King Zhao will not be the first in line heir.Everyone understood, and agreed in unison.Seeing that there was nothing to discuss, the Marquis of Linzi got up and said with a smile: "Now that I know about this happy event, it is natural that I have to present the congratulatory form. If you have nothing to do, please feel free."

Thirty to four today, finally having the first child, this is indeed a major event, His Majesty has a future, and the direction of the stroke, it may not be possible to change the previous one, the prince should also think carefully about the future actions.Everyone knew the interest and left one after another.

Da Shao, it seems that this place is empty.Bo Ran secretly sighed, the emperor is going to have his own son, so naturally he will not pass the throne to King Zhao, and King Zhao is young and powerful, and has always had prestige in the court, so it is impossible for him to retreat by himself. Chu must have a bloodbath.

The Marquis of Linzi sent everyone to the door, and then turned to come behind the screen.On the wide couch, there was a soft ball with big shiny eyes, frowning in thought, but due to his age, it was a bit funny to see this appearance in the eyes of others.The Marquis of Linzi stepped forward to hug her happily, and said, "Are you tired? A Weng will take you outside."

Bo Ran embraced the old man's neck. The old man's clothes were all scented, and it smelled very elegant. Bo Ran liked it very much. She lay on him and nodded.

The Marquis of Linzi was surprised, and said: "Do you understand?" He couldn't help laughing after saying that, how could a six-month-old child understand an adult?Sure enough, seeing little Aran's blank eyes again, Yiyi yelled twice.Bo Ran wanted to be a precocious child prodigy, but being able to speak human language in six months is still too miraculous.I accidentally nodded just now, but now I am busy and round back.

After such a small episode, the Marquis of Linzi walked around the courtyard with Bo Ran in his arms. It was already September and it was cold, so he didn't dare to stay outside for fear that the child would catch the cold. Someone came to pick up Bo Ran, so the Marquis of Linzi exchanged the child with her mother, and went back to business.

If anyone wants to say that the emperor may have a child and the situation in the court changes, the Marquis of Linzi must think carefully about how to deal with it, and it is time to stand in line, then he must not understand his character.As far as he is concerned, this is a good time to take a good rest.

Today, he is too weak, and he really loves Zhao Wang, his younger brother. Since that is the case, he will be named the emperor's younger brother, but he is not reconciled. He wants to have one of his own children inherit the throne. Since he wants his own child to take the throne , then remove the wings of the threatening King Zhao, and allow him to be the King of Peace and prosperity, but he is not willing.

Zhao Wang is a capable man, has means, has the support of Queen Mother Jiang, and has a weak emperor brother who is indulgent. He has quite a lot of power. The emperor misses him, and he also misses the emperor. What an outrageous thing to do.

These two brothers really deserved to be two brothers, they were both so contradictory.Marquis Linzi looked down on this kind of vacillation, but the situation of the royal family was good for him, so he was happy to watch it.

In such a situation, what if the queen is pregnant?What new things can the two conflicting brothers come up with?He didn't believe that the emperor could kill his brother for the child he was about to have, and he didn't believe that King Zhao could kill his brother for his own future. This guy would only secretly accumulate power.This is better than his brother, the emperor is weak to anyone and everything, Zhao Wang is only soft-hearted to his dead mother and his brother, other places, he is cunning and domineering.

Marquis Linzi decided to strike a balance between the two conflicting brothers. The two would not help each other, and the two would not cause chaos. He didn't want the situation to settle down so quickly. picture.As for the child in the queen's womb, who knows if it is a boy or a girl?He hoped it would be a boy. In the past two years, there have been quite loud voices for the emperor's younger brother. According to the weak temperament of the emperor, he has worked hard. If this child is a boy, then the child is orthodox. Zhao Wang, some carried it.

In fact, the emperor's weak temper can't be blamed on him.He came to the throne at seventeen, and the surrounding emperors and brothers were extremely cruel, and they all stared at the great position. Although he was a legitimate son, it was difficult. When the first emperor passed away, he did not leave a will, so he was really on the verge of collapse. He was almost about to be pulled down from power, all thanks to Empress Dowager Jiang's sageness, and her methods were very cruel. She united her natal family and the ministers of the court to cut down all the princes of the previous emperor who had usurped the throne one after another. secure.

So, he owes his existence to his mother.Empress Dowager Jiang still maintained a good habit of caring about government affairs. From time to time, she would ask the emperor about major affairs in the world, and then seek some benefits for the youngest son. Seeing that the eldest son had never given birth to a grandson for her, she thought it would be good to pass on the younger brother. , So he raised his youngest son well.

Since he was a child, King Zhao had heard his mother express the idea that you could be the emperor, so naturally he gradually thought that the seat belonged to him.However, the emperor who has always been very obedient did not agree. It was the first time he had a different opinion with his mother, and he was quite stubborn.It was also he who saw that King Zhao was not a benevolent lord. If he came to the throne, there would always be a lot of trouble in the court, and the queen and others might not end well. What's more, in his prime, what if he had a son?How will the prince deal with himself then?The emperor can still see this clearly.

As a result, the two sides stalemate until Queen Mother Jiang passed away, but there was no result.The emperor also became a little tougher on King Zhao, so he ordered the Marquis of Linzi to discuss the matter of King Zhao's entry to Beijing. If it was in the past, he must have taken the initiative to issue an edict to announce King Zhao's entry to Beijing.

At this moment, there is finally a child, and it is still the queen's son. The emperor is very happy, and Longyan is very happy, so he gave a banquet to the officials in the palace.
