Dress to be a celebrity

Although the cabinet bachelor is one of the most powerful people in this dynasty, the cabinet elder can also be silent when he resigns.

Mr. Huan Ge immediately wrote the memorial, saying that he was too old to be an official, and he was willing to return to his hometown. The eldest son Huan Jing, the General Secretary of the General Administration, also wanted to serve him when he returned to his hometown for the elderly, so he resigned together.Among the three grandsons in his eldest room, because the eldest grandson Huan Sheng was still in prison in the Imperial College, he stayed in Beijing. The second grandson, Huan Qing, and the unconscious Huan Wen were brought back to his hometown to prevent him from causing any trouble in Beijing— —

Children are debts, and grandchildren are also debts.

For half his life, his ambitions turned into running water, his heart was depressed, and he didn't have much energy to deal with his colleagues and old friends. After finishing the book, he went home to direct his subordinates to pack their luggage.Huan Shenyi and Huan Ling, the two descendants, also submitted their resignation memorials, but because Huan Pavilion was in front of them, the emperor would give him some face, and there was no need to state the reason for his resignation. This chapter, wait for the Holy Majesty to send it.

Mrs. Li looked at the servants who were busy packing things in and out of the courtyard. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She discussed with her husband in a low voice: "Can we not resign? The emperor knows about Brother Ling's friendship, so why can't our old man justify his words...Anyway, anyway, Master Song will help us..."

Counselor Huan said angrily: "Confused! Is this how Yuanniang entered the palace? This is aimed at the king of Zhou! Our family has made such a big mistake. If someone catches the opportunity to frame His Highness, it will be a blow to the sky You women are still only thinking about love and love! You pack up your things quickly and take Qing'er and Wen'er back to your hometown. Whether Daddy, me, and Ling'er can leave depends on the Holy Majesty."

He was also so worried that he sighed again and again, lost his temper with his old wife, and ran around outside his father's study, but didn't dare to go in.

Elder Huan Ge didn't call him, and he didn't go to see relatives and friends, and he didn't even pay attention to the greeting cards handed by Ma Shangshu's disciples outside the door. He just locked himself in his study and reflected on the old things.

If he hadn't expected to join the cabinet and marry his granddaughter to Song Shi properly, how could he be in trouble today.At that time, his grandson was striving for success, and his grandson-in-law was a virtuous talent in the world. Even if he couldn't join the cabinet, he only served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he still had connections to support the two children...

At that time, King An An of Zhou was enthroned steadily. Although their family was not a relative of the emperor, they also had promising children in the court. How could they end up in such a miserable end today.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he hated himself for being greedy and going astray for a while; he also hoped that he could resign smoothly and suppress this catastrophe; He has been the elder of the pavilion for several years.

He was so entangled that he almost got sick from entanglement. Fortunately, today's son was considerate, and soon after he handed over the memorial for the family, there was an official reply from the palace——

Directly issued a decree, allowing him to resign and return to his hometown.300 taels of silver will be paid for the branch road, and there will be six green woolen sedan chairs and bearers. Doctor Jin Ziguanglu will still be dismissed.

The imperial decree also allowed his eldest son, Huan Jing, to return to his hometown to serve his father, and also rewarded bearers, gold and silver, but did not deprive him of his official position, but allowed him to live idle in the village.As for Huan Ling, he was not allowed to resign, and he still had to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to assist in the case of Ma Cheng and others.

===================

The news spread to the Outer Dynasty, and Zeng Qi, the deputy teacher in the Song Dynasty and a scholar of the lecturer, told him the news—after all, everyone now knows that he and Huan Ling are in love, and Huan Ge finally compromised. How could there be a lover who didn't tell him about the accident?

First, the prince was sent out of the palace, and later, an old man and a prince's concubine's family wanted to resign from office, but the Holy Majesty directly issued a decree to agree.When Song Shi heard the news, he felt magical. He couldn't get an answer when he asked Xueshi Zeng, who was usually in charge of drafting the central government, so he wanted to ask for leave to go back and ask.

Although Xueshi Zeng was willing to understand his feelings, he refused to agree, and only advised him: "Now that the king of Zhou has been demoted, and the Huan family is the concubine's surrogate family, although there is no news from the palace and the cabinet, it must be related It's a big event for the heavenly family. Mr. Huan resigned from office himself, and the emperor also gave him a sympathy, and left Huan Yushi in the court. If you go in such a hurry, it seems that his family has been innocently convicted. It hurts the emperor's holiness .”

Song Shi had nothing to say, so he stayed up till the end of the night, and the shift was not overtime. He asked someone to deliver a letter to his family, and hurriedly hit the horse and went straight to Huan's house.

It used to be a tightly controlled Ge Lao Mansion, but now people are in a panic, and the family guards at the gate are also impatient, saying that they went in to pass the news for him, but there was no one for a long time.

He simply didn't wait for anyone to come back, and went straight into the mansion, and walked into the courtyard where Huan Ling lived, and where he had lived for a long time.There were few lights in the courtyard, and the voices of people were quiet. It happened that Huan Ling was standing among the sparse lights, half of his body was enveloped by the shadow of the lantern, and he looked a little pitiful.

An unexplainable feeling burst out in Song Shi's heart, and when he came back to his senses, he rushed up and hugged him in his arms.

Although Huan Ling was slightly taller and stronger than him, his waist was still quite narrow, so he held it in his arms effortlessly.He also pressed Huan Ling's head on his shoulder, and comforted him softly: "You are not happy, just cry, it doesn't matter if I'm here."

In fact, there were family servants sweeping and tidying up the yard, but he only saw a cute and pitiful little brother in his eyes, and he didn't care about the eyes of the people around him.

——At the Great Court Meeting, the six parts, nine officials and one hundred and ten people have all seen it. Are you still afraid of these people?

He embraced it confidently, as a matter of course, and even wanted Huan Ling to cuddle into his arms and cry heartily.Of course Huan Ling didn't cry, but raised his head and ordered: "You go down first, I have something to talk to Mr. Song."

All the family members didn't dare to look at them, they all took their things and went out, closing the courtyard door from the outside.Huan Ling put his arms around Song Shi, rubbed him into his arms, took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? My house is in chaos right now, and if you come here at this time, it will involve you... "

Afraid of getting involved!They all came out in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone entered their Song family ancestral hall. How many times have they said "no involvement", can they really be uninvolved?

Song Shi pulled him back into the room, and said forcefully: "You can't tell me what happened to your family, just open your mouth to get involved or not? Now you have paid homage to my parents' high hall and entered the ancestral hall, according to the custom You are also a married man, if you say something about whether you are involved or not, I will write to the court tomorrow, saying that you, a married man, should not be affected by the affairs of your natal family!"

……

He spoke seriously, but his words were actually ridiculous, but Huan Ling's heart felt sore after hearing it, and he swallowed the sourness welling up in his throat, and said: "I am no longer Ge Lao's grandson..."

Song Shi gave a "tsk tsk", and was about to refute him a few words, telling him that he is not a person who only cares about his status, but he heard a sentence in his ear: "I have to wait for you to become Ge Lao, and then Ge Lao Qi brother. "

"...Brother Yi." Or family members are also fine, of course he does not object to calling himself Madam.

Song Shi sternly corrected Huan Ling's statement, but seeing that he could still take a joke, he was a little relieved, and noticed something else: the doors and windows in this room were tightly closed, the surroundings were cold and dreary, and the lamps and candles were not lit. A few, dim and depressing.Huan Ling might have been sitting bored in the room all afternoon, not knowing if he ate or rested.

He then asked, "Have you had dinner tonight? You've just been working in the yard this afternoon? Although I don't know what happened to your family and you want your family to resign, but the more you get to this kind of time, the more you need to take good care of your health." , the body is leather...it is the capital to take on great things!"

It was only then that Huan Ling remembered that he needed to eat, and asked him instead: "Have you eaten yet? Now the family is busy packing up, and we must leave in three days. I am in a hurry. I will ask someone to go to the kitchen to get whatever you want." something."

He went out for a while, and soon some family members picked up a few daily cooked chicken, cooked meat, bacon, and steamed flan from the kitchen, ordered a jug of wine, took a large food box back to the house, and followed The two pleaded guilty: "The cook didn't have time to cook for a while, so the younger one just took these. The two masters used some, and the younger one went to urge them."

Song Shi waved his hand: "These are enough, I'm not here for the banquet, your family already has a lot of these."

He sent the people away, first put some meat in the Huanling bowl, and ate a couple of mouthfuls to fill his stomach. Then he asked the king of Zhou what happened. The point of resigning from office to apologize.

Is it related to his impeachment of the Ma family?The fall of Ma Shangshu has implicated King Zhou?

Huan Ling sighed: "There is a rumor in the palace that Yuanniang 'does not marry a talented young man, but marry a young emperor'."

In the Song Dynasty, the back of the neck suddenly became hairy - these words are comparable to Feng Bao's slander behind Mrs. Li in Wanli, saying that the chief assistant Gao Gong once commented on the emperor "a ten-year-old child, how to be a master".

If you don't explain this kind of thing clearly, don't you want to be hated by the emperor for a lifetime?

Song Shi hurriedly asked: "Where did this rumor come out? When did it come out? We all came out in front of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty a few days ago. The Holy One knows everything. How can you still believe this? Your family You have to justify yourself, how can you just resign from office, tomorrow you will come out and say that I fell in love with you, and you voluntarily quit the engagement, I am a man... I am not married, what good reputation do I need!"

Huan Ling just said no.

Isn't this just a matter of reputation, as long as the word "imperial power" is stained, the skin will be peeled off even if you don't die.His family is now doing it on their own, so why would they allow Song Shi to get involved in this muddy water?

He knew early on that seeking wealth and honor from the heavenly family was like picking chestnuts out of the fire. At the beginning, he advised his grandfather not to be greedy for power, but he couldn't persuade his grandfather and Yuanniang.Since at that time he wanted to pursue wealth and honor and gained the benefits of being the concubine of Zhou, all the consequences that followed could only be endured by himself.

He smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, this is the royal family..."

"Is there something I don't understand, isn't it about seizing the heir?" Song Shi raised his eyebrows, stood up and pointed Jiang Shan: "This rumor must have been spread by the mother of a prince in the harem for the purpose of pulling King Zhou off his horse. My son is good at the top. I think most of them are made by the mothers of King Qi and King Wei; but it may also be the concubine of the younger princes, who took the two older princes to block the gun, and took the children behind him secretly Accumulate strength, lead the Holy One to doubt the two kings of Qi and Wei, and when the two kings fall out of favor, the prince will grow up, and he will just take over the throne..."

He was the one who saw "Strategy of Yanxi Palace" from "Yongzheng Dynasty". Er Yuehe's Kang Yonggan trilogy has read the original works. What Gongdou technique has he not seen?They are "Nine Dragons Conquering the Inheritance", and the Dazheng Dynasty brought in all the junior high school students who had just entered puberty, and they were only three dragons. What kind of high-level palace fights can they play?

He talked generously about royal affairs in other people's homes, but Huan Ling worried about him, and checked through the doors and windows several times to see if there was any eavesdropping.

Although he was worried, he was reluctant to interrupt him. After all, Song Shi had always seen things clearly in his heart, and his analysis of things in the palace was also quite reasonable-although others thought the same in their hearts, but hearing him say it seemed to be better than others. It makes more sense.

He waited until Song Shi was tired of talking, then brought a cup of tea that was just right to dry, and sighed: "This matter is due to my family's indiscretion, which led to someone taking advantage of the gap to frame the King of Zhou. My family resigned and resigned." It should be. However, the King of Zhou is smart and tolerant, with a simple temperament, and he is not good at extravagance and pleasure. He is a rare and virtuous king. Wang resolves grievances..."

The virtuous king who was created by the whole court according to the prince, was dragged down by the marriage between Ma and Huan to strengthen his power, and lost his sacred heart. He really didn't know how to make up for it.

Song Shi comforted him: that rumor was used to frame the King of Zhou. Now that the wise Yingcha is here, he will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes and return King Zhou's innocence.

Having said that, he himself was also a little worried, wondering if the palace could find out the truth of the rumors, whether the truth found out was true or not, and whether King Zhou could be cleared.Even if the innocence is repaid, the thorn of the "young emperor" stabbed between their father and son, I don't know if it can be tolerated now...

He has also lived in this era for more than [-] years, and has become a close minister among the close ministers. He deeply understands Huan Ling's worry and self-blame—as a minister, who would not want to sit above someone who is good-tempered, willing to accept advice, and capable? The emperor who can accommodate people?

The king of Zhou has a good character and is the eldest son. It is a matter of course that he takes the throne, and the succession of the throne will be the most stable.If you are young and young, it is not so Confucian. There must be a dispute between orthodoxy and favor among the emperor and courtiers, which will cause turmoil in the court.Besides, the remaining two princes are still young and don't know what will happen in the future. What if their temper is not as good as his?

And if the little prince ascends the throne, what will happen to the eldest son who has been an invisible prince for so many years?

He pondered for a long time on a plate of steamed cured fish on the table, scratched off half of the fish body, and finally came up with a clichéd method for King Zhou, but after countless practices and TV drama demonstrations, it must be effective in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign palaces. :

Just to give birth to a "good grandson."

The king of Zhou must be innocent, the only thing he fears is that the current sage has a grudge, prefers other princes, and wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

But with the emperor and grandson turning around, he will be dissatisfied with his son, and will be tolerant on the face of his grandson.Far away, in the last episode of "Kangxi the Great", the fourth master's son Qianlong was held by Kangxi in the end, and he put his father on the throne with his own love; more closely, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi in the parallel world, is relying on the university Shi Xie Jin's words of "good grandson" overwhelmed his younger brother Zhu Gaoxu, who was much loved by his father and emperor, and succeeded him as emperor.

Today is only in his early forties, according to the calculation of the World Health Organization, he is still a young man.After a few years, I will gradually forget about this matter. If you see Zhou Wang is benevolent and pragmatic, low-key and undisputed, and there is a smart and pleasant grandson in front of you, maybe you will still favor Zhou Wang?
