Chapter 55: Ganoderma lucidum grass
Everyone knows that Concubine Mei was the most outstanding female politician in the Situ Dynasty. However, as for the timing of its first political appearance before the public, historians of the past generations have discussed differently, and there is no unified answer. However, according to the records of wild history, in the era of Emperor Wen, Concubine Mei used the name of birthday to exclude the five princes at that time, who were later loyal county kings, from the throne, and also laid the foundation for later involvement in court politics.
―――――――― "History of Situ Jiangshan"
"I want that Ganoderma lucidum grass!" Overseas, Wei Qian and Tao Ping were engaged in island construction at Midway.
On the way, Tao Ping asked about the congratulatory gift sent by Wei Qian.
"I have a big feud with the Zhen family, and now that I and Situ Yun are collaborators, it is better to take the opportunity to help him kill his fifth brother and give him some help."
Situ Yun gained power, and Wei Qian could also take the opportunity to use Situ Yun's name to secretly stir up some of his own affairs in Jiangnan.
For example, second-class weapons that have been withdrawn from the army can be repaired and used at sea.
This future lord of Lishan is really interested, pulling Tao Ping and others to start their own maritime business.
"However, the Ganoderma lucidum grass of the Fifth Prince's is indeed extraordinary, if it is obtained by cultivators like us, it can increase the strength of more than ten years." Wei Qian is bound to win this treasure.
"But this thing is on the emperor's side, how do you want to get it?"
"Naturally, I have a way, not only to ask for Ganoderma lucidum grass, but also to take the opportunity to accumulate merit. If sweet potatoes are promoted in China and feed a group of farmers, even if it is only a million people, this merit will be enough for me to go further. Wei Qian's eyes flashed with a flame of ambition, and this woman's ambition pointed to one point from beginning to end.
Look to the shores of Midway, where a shipyard is putting the finishing touches on three large ships. Bows and arrows, artillery, one by one were armed on large ships.
"With these three ships, I can sweep away the pirates and begin my quest for maritime supremacy."
……
In Daming Palace, the sage played with his fingers and pondered: Wei Qian offered this thing, if what he said was true, he would naturally have made great contributions to Sheji.
So, he put a piece of jade pendant into the box and gave the golden lock to Situ Yun.
"You are indeed bold in choosing this daughter of the Wei family, you have the demeanor of Rong Guogong back then, and you dare to ask me for something. However, I am not going to pay her back now, I will wait for her to pass through the door, and you will give it back after she passes. ”
Situ Yun stepped forward and crossed the five princes to take the golden lock.
"The daughter of the Wei family named this thing sweet potato, but in my eyes, this thing is worth ten thousand gold, and it is called golden melon." Take the name, and in the future, you will still remember this celebrity, and this kind of beauty saint will naturally not be given to others.
But there is another reward for Wei Qian: "The daughter of the Wei family has made great contributions, giving the name of the county lord and taking the name of Jinling, which can be inherited for one generation." ”
The faces of the ministers changed greatly, and even the princes next to them had different colors. Title is a tool, not to be lightly allowed. After the era at the beginning of the dynasty passed, it was rare to canonize the title, let alone to women, and it was a special title such as the county lord.
Concubine Chen was overjoyed: "The concubine has thanked His Majesty for this girl." ”
There is still a difference between the county lord and the county lord.
As a kind of title for the wives, the county lady is also known as the county lady, and the top is the country lady. Most of them are given to married women, although it makes sense to give them to unmarried women, but in this dynasty, unmarried women are generally given the title of county lord to show their honor.
At the top of the title of county lord is the princess, the lady of the country. The county lord, the county lord, and then the princess, the eldest princess, the eldest princess. The eldest princess and the eldest princess are only the emperor's sisters and the title of the eldest daughter, and although they are strictly speaking, they are still princesses.
The county lord, as a princess and the rank after the county lord, is generally a title only for royal nobles. There are only five people who give foreign surnames in this dynasty.
That's fine, anyway, it's just a woman, and the county lord of this dynasty is not popular with any food and fiefdom, and he has no rights. It's just that when the marriage is matched, the court will give some self-help. The key is the latter sentence "can be inherited from one generation." ”
Inheriting the title, how many people dream of this?
In other words, if Wei Qian gives birth to a daughter, she will be the county lord as soon as she is born.
Inherited? Several scholars wanted to open their mouths to refute, but when they thought about it, they immediately understood what the saint meant.
Don't care how many things you give Wei Qian now, as long as you marry into the royal family, every qiē is Situ Yun's.
The county lord? At that time, the grade of the princess on the side may not be worse than that of the county master.
And pass it on to the daughter? According to Prince Situ Yun's specifications, his daughter should have been the county lord. But this is the concubine of the princess, and the daughter of the side princess will still need to be reported at that time, but if nothing else, it should be the title of county lord.
"This is an early preparation for the daughter of the Seventh Highness?" The ministers thought about it and understood, and they were too lazy to get involved in Situ Yun's family affairs. Sooner or later, Wei Qian's daughter is also the county lord, and the title given by His Majesty is just a gimmick.
But someone is not happy. Click! The five princes crushed the wine glass, and their faces turned blue and white.
"The limelight is completely covered, and it's actually a mere woman!"
But that's not all, something happened that made him even angrier.
Originally, after the saint's reward, someone should have come out to give thanks. Concubine Chen is the future mother concubine, and Jia Yu should also be listed as an uncle.
It's just that Jia Yu has a hesitant look on her face, and she wants to speak and stops, and the anxious Jia Mu frequently gives her eyes.
The saint frowned: "What? What's inconvenient to say? ”
"My niece said that she wanted the Ganoderma lucidum grass that the Fifth Prince went to Yunwu Mountain to pick not long ago. It is said that the courtier's sister has been overworked over the years, and she wants to use Ganoderma lucidum grass for her mother's conditioning. ”
The fifth prince's face was completely dark, there was a gust of wind around him, and the sound of grinding his teeth could be heard all around.
Situ Yun smiled, pretending not to know: "What's the matter, the fifth brother is not in good health?" ”
"Ganoderma lucidum grass?" Only then did the saint remember the Lingzhi grass that he had left aside.
The small white flowers move with the wind, and the pieces of Ganoderma lucidum dance in the wind. But being occupied by Wei Qian's golden gourd, where do you care about the so-called Ganoderma lucidum grass?
"Of course, my niece said that she would not ask for His Highness's Lingzhi grass in vain. At the beginning, His Royal Highness used hundreds of laborers to climb the mountain to collect medicine, and the total amount of silver spent was 3,000 taels, including the condolence expenses for the dead and wounded, and my niece was willing to bear it, and then purchased it with 10,000 taels of silver. ”
This is a trick!
The discerning person saw that Wei Qian's spearhead was directed at the five princes, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Could this matter have been instructed by the Seventh Prince?
Where will people not die when they go up the mountain to collect medicine? In particular, this precious herb is prone to accidents when it grows on cliffs. I'm afraid there's still blood under this Ganoderma lucidum grass, right?
Many courtiers are not stupid, and it can be seen that Wei Qian is giving eye medicine to the five princes!
The saint's face was pale, although he also knew that it must be dangerous to collect medicine, but he didn't think about it in that direction. can be brought up by Wei Qian, and I can't help but feel tired in my heart. Dare to love your birthday gift or have you seen blood?
See the blood is unknown!
The sage didn't want to leave this thing any longer, so he said: "The county lord of Jinling has a filial piety schedule, and if someone comes, this Ganoderma lucidum grass will be given to her mother for recuperation." In addition, he gave a hundred taels of gold and a pearl, and as for the medicine money for this Ganoderma lucidum, I gave it out for her. ”
"Old Five, how much did you spend on this herb in total?"
The fifth prince didn't dare to report more, lest his father muttered where he got so much money. So he lightly reported seven thousand taels.
"Not good!" There were a few courtiers below whose faces were wrong, and they immediately understood that the five princes had lost their words.
"It's miserable, Your Highness has now reported seven thousand taels, and when you turn around, you only need Your Highness to send someone to check, knowing that Your Highness died while collecting medicine, it won't be easy to do!"
Seeing blood is one thing, but more important is the consolation money.
Seven thousand taels, excluding the cost, how much will be given to the families of these deceased?
"Such a vicious woman, Your Highness's price is quoted too much, Your Majesty will suspect the origin of his gold and silver, and I am afraid that it will involve Jiangnan fraud. And if it is less, it will be reminiscent of the life of the grass and the purchase at a low price. The fifth prince was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly looked at the saint's face.
The saint is always holding it, and he will not be angry with the color. It's just that I went back and asked people to check the ins and outs of this matter. In this investigation, it was natural to see that the five princes forced the medicine farmers to go up the mountain to collect medicine in order to collect medicine. And for the injured and deceased, it was even colder, and he hastily gave a few taels of silver and sent it away.
This Ganoderma lucidum grass doesn't add points to the fifth prince, don't reprimand him severely, and help him erase this matter is already a saint's love between father and son.
"Marry a wife like a daughter of the Wei family. With just this small move, he completely cut off the power that the five princes had just recovered. After the banquet was dispersed, everyone had different thoughts.
Originally, everyone thought that Situ Yun was behind this matter, but looking at Situ Yun's expression, it seemed that he didn't know anything.
Wu Zhengde and his son returned home: "Your father and I still know a little about the five princes, and we can't do this according to his methods." As for whether it was done by the dead daughter of the Nawei family, we will know when we come to Beijing. But against her, I'm afraid that our girl is not as good as her. ”
"Yes, just look at Concubine Chen's face today, when this one enters the mansion, won't she directly step on our daughter's head?"
"The girl must be allowed to give birth to a son as soon as possible, even if it arouses the jealousy of the princess, she can't take care of it. Mr. come down, go back and find a way to press the princess, and when the time comes, straighten our girl. With the son of the world, I don't worry about what this woman has to do. In the end, this is a world where men are in charge. ”
At the beginning, Situ Yun forced Wei Qian to come to the door to propose, and there was a storm in the capital, and many people made fun of Situ Yun for taking a blind fancy to a person who was a Kefuke father, but after this palace banquet, he could only honestly admire Situ Yun's foresight.
Even Situ Yun himself was dizzy, he thought that his fifth brother would be able to take the opportunity to recover, but he didn't expect to be slapped again out of thin air, it was an unexpected joy!
"Good! My son, this woman you are looking for is indeed a wangfu! Concubine Chen and Situ Yun returned to the palace, and Concubine Chen didn't care about the people around her, and laughed directly: "You didn't see Concubine Zhen's face!" Look at it, in the next few days, your father will definitely rest here in this palace. ”
Concubine Chen smiled brightly, if she could take the opportunity to consolidate her grace, maybe she might really have the possibility of being on top!
A few families were happy and a few were sad, but Jia's mother was angry, and when she returned to Jia's mansion, she reprimanded Jia: "You don't know how to discuss such a big matter with me!" Now that you are in the limelight for the Wei family, what are your benefits? It's better to send it in the name of our Jia Mansion at the beginning. Don't seek to be promoted and make a fortune, at least your eldest niece's life in the palace is better, and maybe she can also favor a few juniors. ”
Jia Yu disagreed: "Our family? Come on, mother, you're stupid to be a sister and a girl. If the son really dares not to come down, believe it or not, the Seventh Highness will come to the door to ask for the guilt? Don't forget, His Royal Highness the Seventh is the husband of others, can he help others? ”
"Not to mention that your son and I are still on this boat! I'll leave you here, I've already blatantly supported the Seven Princes. Mother should not always think about the old relatives of the Zhen family, and don't forget how her brother-in-law died back then. ”
Mother Jia was about to speak, but Jia Yu said again: "And why did Sister Min go early, mother may really ask the Zhen family." ”
"What did you say!" Jia's mother's face changed greatly, Huo Ran got up, and looked at Jia Yu in disbelief: "You say it again!" ”
Jia Yu is also nonsense, whether Jia Min's matter has anything to do with the Zhen family, he just listened to some rumors. Seeing Jia's mother's fierce color, she was stunned in her heart, and said to herself: "Don't forget the official position of Brother-in-law Lin, Jiangnan's fraud and greed over the years, do you think you can get rid of the Zhen family?" ”
Mother Jia's heart was cold, but this was not over, Jia Yu had the heart to let her completely cut off contact with the Zhen family.
"Don't say anything else, the big girl is not inferior to the Qian, but now she is trapped in the palace, can you see that the concubine of the Zhen family is helping to carry it? How much money does the big girl ask for from the house every year, and what does it do? ”
Jia Mu couldn't help muttering when Jia pardoned her. Yes, if the Zhen family is really reliable, Yuan Chun will not be just a female history until now.
"The fifth prince is completely unsuccessful, and everyone else may be on the throne, but he is the only one." Jia Yu smiled: "Mother asked the second child to help the fifth prince, but now, the seventh prince supported by his son is more promising!" ”
Jia Yu's words were intended to stimulate Jia's mother. Who let Jia's mother be partial to Jia Zheng all day long. But Mother Jia had a heart when she heard this, and immediately had an idea when she heard this: "Why not let Yuanchun take the opportunity to enter the Seven Princes' Mansion, and if he wins, he can be directly crowned a nobleman." Even if they lose, there is still a girl in the house, and the sisters can still take care of each other. She forgot that Wei Qian's surname was different from Jia Yuanchun's, and the relationship between the sisters was not so good.
