The mother was resolute and resolute, the first day sent Li Rui out of Beijing, the next day he promoted the punishment of the personnel down, Wei Xuanzhen and Cui were exiled to Qiongzhou, Wei Xun and a few people were divided into Qin, Liu, Yong, Jiang and other places, no life forbearance - now called Wei Qing - the disposal is not very heavy, only stripped of the post of school secretary, but he was poor, his father and brother were out of Beijing, and there was no official position, and the livelihood was difficult. I was more annoyed by Wei Xuanzhen, but Yu Ah Huan didn't care, so he generously handed the name of Wushengren to the Ministry of Officials together with the names of the Zheng family and the Cui family.

The officials have already been able to get along with themselves, and they really did it very neatly, Wusheng forbearance was awarded the county lieutenant of Feng Yi of Wangxian County on the same day, and the Wei's elders saw that he had to be awarded Wangxian, and gave Panchuan with interest.

Nowadays, many celebrities are famous all over the world for their articles and poems, and some of them have long admired the fame in my previous life, but when I mention it by chance, there are a lot of contempt between the words of my mother and aunts, I didn't know it before, but now I know the secret: a young princess like me, who has just moved out of the palace, handed it to the ministry with a word, determines how many literati and rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and even life and death, and how can mothers and aunts take them in their eyes? The taste of power is really known today. However, thousands of years later, most of my aunts can only leave a title, and their life deeds have disappeared without a trace.

The new emperor did not wait for Li Rui to ascend the throne for a long time, and his mother did not even choose the day carefully, and directly held a ceremony at the end of July, and became the queen mother of the dynasty. Qiu Shenyun was imprisoned for strangling the late King Yong, and committed suicide in prison without waiting for a bow, and Li Bin put on a 10,000-word congratulatory table, expressing his congratulations with sincere fear, it is said that his mother was happy to let him go, but left his sons in Beijing, and ordered the construction of Baisun Temple.

Before the courtyard was completed, Ah Huan and Shouli temporarily lived next to the Zichen Hall and the Ayaqi Palace, and her mother chose the world's famous monks and nuns, gathered in Beijing, and worked with Cui Mingde and other female officials to pray for the deceased father and Li Sheng.

Ah Huan also put on a stamp, please copy a thousand copies of the "All the Tao Sutra" to show filial piety, and give money and goods of 1,000 yuan, donated in the Taiyuan Temple, for the grandfather and grandmother to pray for the blessing of her maternal grandfather and grandmother, the mother was quite satisfied with her move, ordered her to provide a should be provided with the grade of the prince and princess, and sealed the ceremony as the king of Le'an, and sealed a hundred households.

July passed in a hurry, and at the beginning of August I had prepared all the things in the house and the flower-viewing banquet, and then I entered the palace in the name of inviting Cui Mingde, and this time I brought with me a lot of small things that Zheng Bo had bought from outside the city, including many windmills, wine beards, clay figurines, paper flowers, and vegetables and fruits from my farm, which I had bought from the market.

When I arrived in the palace to see my mother first, I heard that Li Dan cried all night for some reason, and her mother didn't sleep all night, and now she is resting in the side hall, and she was about to go to Ah Huan, but she saw Wan'er coming out from the inside.

He said softly: "The Queen Mother let the princess in." ”

She simply tied her hair, with a lotus flower and silver hairpin on it, and wore a wide monk's robe, and held a tail in her hand, and after leading me in, she stood sideways behind the door, and there was no one in the hall except my mother, me, and her.

My mother, who was wearing only a plain shirt and a silk skirt and draped her hair, sat lazily in front of the makeup mirror, saw me in the mirror, raised her eyes and said, "I heard that you sent a cart of things in?

I smiled and said: "It's all worthless little things, and it's still novel and interesting to see it, so I dedicate it to A-Niang, if you can make A-Niang smile, it is the filial piety of your son." Gently passed, stood behind her mother, and pinched her shoulders for her, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turns out that the worthless little things were sent to me, and it is easy for you to give this filial piety." ”

I said: "What good things in this world A-Niang has never seen? Even if I send a mountain of gold and silver, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of A-Niang, but these small things in the market are carefully selected by me, and they are saved the same, although they are not valuable, but their central meaning is very different - A-Niang doesn't know what the world says, the sincerity of the poor family is to spend money, and the sincerity of the official is to be the slaughter, but it is to think, and always to give his rare sacrifice, which is sincerity. ”

The mother laughed and scolded: "When will the world say this, you just make up nonsense to coax your mother!" But turned sideways, let me rub her shoulders and pinch her back, after a while, and said: "Since you have sent it in, ask them to bring it in and take a look, lest you complain that I have a San Lang and ignore you, and I will not look at the things I sent in." ”

I smiled and said, "Ah Niang listened to who said me behind my back, what did San Lang ignore me? San Lang is my younger brother, Ah Niang's son, with him, there will be one more person to support me in the future, I am too late to be happy, how can I think like this? I still have his share in these objects." ”

My mother laughed and said nothing, my waistcoat was cold, and I was busy getting the things for my mother, but my mother was disdainful of the small things I was playing, but pointed to the wheat and other things I had carefully selected, and told me to take them to her one by one: "Why are you giving these?"

I said: "Zheng Lang supervised the construction of the palace outside the city, and passed through many farmlands on the way, and he saw that the fields were quite large, so he reported to Erzhi, and he sent someone to buy a few plants to see, and the abundance was far better than last year, and he specially sent it into the palace to report the good news to A-Niang. ”

My mother squinted at me: "You live in the deep palace and have seen a few acres of fields, how do you know how big the wheat should grow? How do you know that this year will be much more fruitful than last year?"

I smiled and said, "A-Niang forgot? On the autumn of last year, the saint drove back to Beijing from Luo, and passed through a lot of farmland on the way, and A-Niang told her about these crops in the past, so she naturally paid attention. Pointing to one of them, he said, "This is just one of the plants randomly selected by the Liberal people's fields, and if it is not selected with great heart, it has already been fruitful, and there are others, taken from the fields of the children, which are even more lush than this." The Zhuangtian of the child is already like this, and the one in the Imperial Garden must be better. Erqi A-Niang, please take the best ears of wheat from the imperial field and give them to the people in Beijing as seeds, so as to show that the year is better than the year. (Jin-Jiang Exclusive)

The mother laughed and said, "What I said earlier is still the same, but it will be wrong in the back, do you know how many ears of wheat there are? How many acres of land are there in Beijing? How many people can be divided into one ear of wheat?"

I hugged her shoulder and coquettishly said: "It doesn't matter if it's a hundred, or a hundred, in short, A-Niang knows what she means." Pick up a foot of silk cloth again: "Ah Niang look, this year's silk cloth sold in the city, more dense and smooth than last year, a few years ago to two or three hundred dollars a horse, but this year is only one hundred and fifty yuan, asked the merchant, said that this year's silkworms are abundant, weaving silk is very much, the people still have more than enough clothes, and there are many sales, so the market price is lower than in previous years, and the rice is only 100 yuan, and the steamed Hu in the market is big and fragrant, and a piece is only seven or eight dollars. This is all because A-Niang is well-governed and the world is rich. ”

I saw a little self-restraint on my mother's face, and knew that this sycophant had slapped her itch - when my father was there, my mother was still constrained in governance, and my father was seriously ill this year, and until Li Rui and Li Dan ascended the throne, the country's major politics were completely from my mother. And this is exactly what my mother has always felt in her heart, but she can't reveal the slightest bit of her mind on her face.

Mother wants to be an emperor, even if she didn't have such a mind before, she must have it now. In order to be the emperor, she will definitely spare no effort to find a reason for her accession to the throne. Her rule is no less than that of her father, no less than any man in the Li family, and this is a good reason.

However, although my mother was happy, she did not immediately accept my proposal, and only turned her head to look at Wan'er: "What does Wanqing think?"

Wan'er bowed her head and approached: "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty should not only be the princess's proposal, but also invite hundreds of officials to feast on this Jiamai to show that the whole world celebrates." In front of the door of the important ministers, they can also give ears of wheat to show their performance. This is all a foolish concubine, and the only one is a holy judge. ”

I pondered for several days before I came up with such a way to pat the horse's ass, but Wan'er gently and skillfully turned this horse's fart into a temptation to point the deer into a horse-such a grand feast, it is inevitable that the officials will have to say some scenes, and then it is really clear who praises the hardest-working, who is perfunctory, and who is indignant. As for hanging ears of wheat in front of the minister's door, it is even better: since it is a reward, naturally some people can get it, and some people do not get it, and at the beginning of the new emperor, the anxiety and speculation in the hearts of those who have not received it can be imagined, and in order to avoid such anxiety, it is inevitable to use all kinds of methods to do their best for their mother—if they do not do their best, they will not stand on their mother's side, and they may not know what the consequences will be, and I know it very clearly. As for the one who gets the wheat, though it is a grace, it is also a clear indication that he is a confidant of his mother. What hangs from the lintel of these people is not a small ear of wheat at all, but their respective parties.

I glanced at Wan'er and smiled at my mother: "If that's the case, don't forget to give a few more plants, and hang ears of wheat on the door of the house and other villages, so as to touch the blessings of A-Niang." ”

The mother smiled, lazily raised her chin, and said to Wan'er, "According to the agreement." He squeezed my hand with his backhand and said, "I heard that Zheng Bo has not returned home for a long time?"

I said: "He saw that he was doing things for A-Niang, and he was determined to build big and good, so he ate and lived outside the city, and it was rare to go home." ”

Mother said: "The original intention was to give him a mission experience because of you, but in the end, he snubbed you, and it was better to dismiss him as an envoy." Without waiting for me to speak, he raised his chin to Wan'er: "Exempt Zheng Bo, the commander of the horse, from leaving the palace to supervise the envoy, let him stay at home and accompany the princess." ”(.
