On the second day, An explained the incident of the previous night to Ji Xuanyuan, only saying that the prisoner was still being interrogated, and no results had been obtained. Ji Xuanyuan glanced at An Sui and saw that although her face was as usual, there was a little sadness between her eyebrows.

He looked at her for many years, how he didn't know that she always had something on his mind, but he refused to sue him. It's just that he doesn't want to force anything, since she doesn't say it, he doesn't want to ask anything more.

I don't know if it's because Concubine Zheng has been very favored recently, the Zheng family, who had to keep a low profile and avoid the limelight because Concubine Zheng was degraded, has now begun to toss all kinds of toss in the court, first for the fief of Marquis Bing, and the book said that Marquis Bing's fief is comparable to that of a prince, which is really against the ancestral system.

The titles and fiefs of Da Chu are also set examples.

The fief of the prince is more than the state, the fief of the marquis is more than the county, the fief of the earl is more than the county, the fief of the viscount is more than 500 households, and the fief of the baron is more than 200 households.

The Marquis of Bing is a marquis, but the fief is a whole Bingdi, that is, the example of the country. Although Ji Xuanyuan didn't want to see Yuan Wei'er, and hated what she did in the harem, but in the final analysis, Lehe was also his flesh and blood, Yuan Wei'er was from a humble background, and even Lehe could only get a marquis, but Ji Xuanyuan was still distressed in the end, so he chose Bingdi, which was still rich, to him as a fief, which was twice as much as the marquis's fief.

Just for this matter, the Zheng family grabbed it fiercely, and must let Ji Xuanyuan redivide the fief for Marquis Bing. Not only that, but the Zheng family also united several widows of the first emperor and jointly wrote a letter to put pressure on Ji Xuanyuan.

An Sui felt that in this matter, the Zheng family was really not wise. This time, Binghou and the Zheng family have nothing to do with each other, even if Binghou really reduces the fiefdom, it may not bring any benefits to the Zheng family.

In the final analysis, it is also the royal family's own business to divide this fief.

If it was during the reign of Taiyi Ancestor, before the rule that different surnames were no longer allowed to be divided into princes, if the Zheng family had raised something, it would be understandable.

Ji Xuanyuan was enraged at this moment. Although the recital was not sent in the middle of the book, Ji Xuanyuan was not prepared to give a reply.

Speaking of the matter of dividing the title, Ji Xuanyuan had another move.

The rule of the Taiyi Ancestor Dynasty is that the eldest son inherits his father's title, and the rest of the sons are demoted to one level and divided, so that the land is divided too much, which is really not conducive to the rule of the royal family. What's more, it was sealed in vain, and it also allowed the court to raise a bunch of rice buckets for nothing.

This matter has become a very tricky matter in the court. The first emperor also had the idea of pushing grace, but several times it was not enough, and when he arrived at Ji Xuanyuan, there were more people with titles, and there was a prince at the end of the three days who came to ask for a seal for his son and grandson. It's also quite a headache.

The second thing that the Zheng family made was to marry Tang Wang Ji Xuanjia, and the Zheng family's move was really puzzling. When Chiwu was four years old, the Zheng family also disposed of a protégé because of the Tang King, grabbed the Tang King's braid and chased and beat him, at the beginning, Ji Xuanyuan blindly protected this young brother, and also sent someone to show favor to the Zheng family on behalf of the Tang King, and then the matter of Concubine Zheng happened in the harem, and the Zheng family died down. It's only been three years, and the Zheng family is unexpectedly abnormal, but they want to marry the Tang King, and it is the daughter of the family who marries the Tang King.

This incident somewhat made those who knew the inside story of the discord between Tang Wang and the Zheng family a little unbelievable.

Ji Xuanyuan didn't think so, but his tone was a little disdainful and dissatisfied when he talked about this matter, "Zheng Dongliu is becoming more and more ambitious, and the Zheng family is also terrible now, the two daughters of the harem are not enough, and they have to be stuffed into my clan, what's the matter, is it possible that the women of this royal family will not be able to get out of his Zheng family." What did he want? I asked myself that I hadn't treated them badly all these years, but they were not satisfied! ”

Zheng Dongliu is the father of Zheng Gui and Zheng Guifei, and now he is also the left minister of the court, except for a right minister who is on an equal footing with him, no one can stand on the right. Zheng Dongliu is also one of the heroes who supported the first emperor to ascend the throne, so even in Ji Xuanyuan's generation, the Zheng family has many mistakes, and Ji Xuanyuan is also afraid of the Zheng family's forces, but it is more or less the hard work of the left minister.

Even in the matter of cleaning up the court, Ji Xuanyuan somewhat spared his hands and did not kill all those henchmen. The Zheng family has also restrained itself in the past three years, but now they don't know why, they actually started jumping up and down in front of Ji Xuanyuan again. Ji Xuanyuan was unhappy.

An Sui thought about it for a while, and then said, "Lord Zuo Xiang is already so old, and it may not be that he is not satisfied, but more for the Zheng family." The Zheng family's desperate efforts to win over the new scholars and the children of the clan probably also have such a meaning. ”

But he didn't know that the more he was like this, after a hundred years, if I remembered it, I would definitely be the first to take the Zheng family! He has so many protégés and henchmen in the court, and he still wants to meddle in royal affairs, he is really impatient! Ji Xuanyuan snorted coldly.

As a result, Ji Xuanyuan ruthlessly counted down Zheng Dongliu and the courtiers of the Zheng family who relied on the old and sold the old, and An Sui rarely saw Ji Xuanyuan count who he had in front of her, but the Zheng family was indeed a little excessive.

An Sui also knew Ji Xuanyuan's thoughts, the Zheng family had somewhat restrained himself in the past two or three years, and Ji Xuanyuan didn't want to be too unkind, if the Zheng family could always be so peaceful, Ji Xuanyuan still wanted to keep Zheng Dongliu's position as the left minister, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

An Sui was still thinking about the marriage between the girl of the Zheng family and the Tang King, "Then the emperor means that he doesn't agree to this family affair?" ”

In fact, the Zheng family has unilaterally issued a rumor that they want to give their fifth daughter to King Tang, if Ji Xuanyuan does not allow it, then King Tang will naturally not be able to marry. The rest is just a matter of pitying the daughter of the Zheng family, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry anyone again.

"Did I say no?" Ji Xuanyuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Since you are the sister of King Tang, let's talk about it, what do you think of this family business?" Does it fit your sister's mind? ”

Ji Xuanyuan asked so suddenly, but An Sui was stunned, thinking of the indifference between her and King Tang, and even his tone faded by three points, "Why does the emperor use this matter to make fun of Weichen, where can Weichen and King Tang have this blood relationship, Weichen has only one brother, and now he is still guarding the border pass." ”

Ji Xuanyuan naturally knew that the relationship between her and Tang King Ji Xuanjia had become more and more stiff over the years, and An Sui was a soft-hearted person, even if he refused to go to the Dawn Palace to see Ning Guifei again, he would take care of it more, if he encountered a New Year's Festival or a big festival, he would also let people send a lot of festival goods to the past, most of those things were from An Sui's own hands, or he allocated money and silver from his own rewards to buy. She has been abandoned by Ning Guifei since she was a child, and Ning Guifei's suffering came from her and her father, and she and Ning Guifei have more or less knots in their hearts.

Since she was a child, she has not been cared for by her biological mother, and even if An Sui has a Platts who treats her as her own, she still has some regrets in her heart.

In fact, Ji Xuanyuan is not the same, he didn't grow up next to his biological mother since he was a child, and when he grew up, he and the Queen Mother were actually not too close. And the Queen Mother mostly has to plan for the Yan family, and in many things, he and the Queen Mother can't be calmly opposite.

At this point, Ji Xuanyuan can understand An Sui's mood very well.

Ji Xuanyuan thought for a while, "If you don't feel at ease, you can go and see the daughter of the Zheng family, I heard Xinzhi say, she handed a sign and asked to see Zheng Guifei, I asked you to send some rewards to your concubine, and then see if it suits your heart." ”

"What does it matter if it is in line with Weichen's mind, if King Tang can see it himself, this is the best, if he doesn't like it, it is a waste of a daughter's thoughts."

The daughters of ordinary people are envious of the daughters of the eunuchs, and if the daughter of the Zheng family can marry into the royal family, it will be even more enviable. But often there is a lot of bitterness behind this scenery.

If Tang Wang is willing to be good to her, it will be fine. It's just that Tang Wang has always been not interested in the Zheng family, but I'm afraid that it won't be much better for the girls of the Zheng family.

"That's also Zheng Dongliu's own sin!" Ji Xuanyuan was ruthless, "Since he wants to cling to the emperor's grace, he has to be prepared for all the evil consequences." I don't deliberately embarrass a woman. But she couldn't be too good. ”

When An Sui heard this, he smiled slightly, although there was a bit of anger in it, but it was the truth.

When Ji Xuanyuan said this, he was indeed a little unhappy in his heart, but he inadvertently saw An Sui's smile sideways, and swept away the unhappiness of the past few days.

For him, the Zheng family is a thorn in his heart that must always be removed.

An Sui sorted out another stack of chapters and put them in front of him, as if it was a routine matter, "There are a total of six chapters here, which are the letters of Lord Qiao, Lord Hu, and Lord Ming of the Ministry of Officials, and the content of what is said is the distribution of official positions drawn up by the scholars who were promoted by the imperial examination last year, please take a look at the emperor." ”

Ji Xuanyuan looked at it carefully for a long time, pointed to the top "Song Qi, Hanlin Academy Revision" and asked, "I remember that the Hanlin Academy's revision is a position that will only be awarded by the champion in the past years, this Song Qi is not the champion!" Ji Xuanyuan took a closer look again, "This champion Song Yang is edited by the Hanlin Academy, it seems that the old ministers of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Officials are really a little confused." ”

An Sui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is now Liu Wenbo Liu, and the emperor also said that this person is the most upright, how could he make these two people wrong, it's just a pity." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

An said, "Now this champion Song Yang and Bangyan Song Qi are called the Big and Small Song Dynasty in Beijing, although the Great Song Song Yang is a champion, he is good at prose, and the Little Song Song Song Qi is a good writer." When it comes to talent, Song Qi is even better. If it is about official products, maybe it is the Great Song Song Song Yang who is more popular, if it is only about this poetry book, Liu Wenbo is not wrong. ”

Ji Xuanyuan thought carefully, "Speaking of which, I seem to remember that during this year's palace examination, there was indeed a scholar with a personable demeanor, and I also described his demeanor as a pine and cypress. ”

"That's Xiao Song Song Qi."
