Chapter 22: Dismounting
Where the imperial capital is located, the inventory is strict, this morning the sky is not beautiful, the cold wind gusts, the gray sky is full of snowflakes, and there are a lot of people who have caught up with the city, and there is a long queue at the gate of the capital.
The carriage in which Jiang and Wang Zhiyao were riding was also in the procession waiting to enter the city...... Exhaling a breath of cold air, Wang Zhiyao held the exquisite jade hand stove in her hand, "The capital is much colder than Fenghua Valley." ”
She waited impatiently, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, the line of ordinary people was longer, and the noble family members of the noble lords could be the first to enter the city, "Mother, I don't think his official position is high." ”
Jiang grabbed Wang Zhiyao's arm and reprimanded: "You never forget to embarrass your father, return to the Wang family, and never say that in front of your father......"
Wang Yixin is the most prominent person in the reputation of the Marquis of Guanwen, but he can't inherit the title, the second official position is not high, and he refuses to manage his career with a noble shelf, Jiang persuades him several times, and every time they break up unhappily.
"I dare to say in front of him that he is embarrassed to get together with the same year? At that time, Tanhua was still struggling in the Hanlin Academy, and I remember that the same class as him has now been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works, the champion, the top eye, and the top few of the second class, which one is not the parent official of the ruling party? ”
Wang Zhiyao didn't want to compete for the qualification to enter the city first, as long as she caught the opportunity, she spared no effort to smear Wang Yixin in front of the Jiang family.
Don't look at women who say on the surface that they don't care about power, status, and wealth, in fact, why don't women want their husbands to be high-end, rich, and powerful?
Wang Yixin was beautified too seriously by Jiang himself, it's time to make Jiang sober and sober, Wang Yixin not only has scum attributes, but also a 'embroidered pillow' with a false appearance
He was not as good as Jiang imagined.
A road was flashed at the gate of the capital city where the crowd was surging, and a group of people and horses stopped, and the young men wearing armor and white feathers on their backs turned over and dismounted in unison, each holding the reins, and stood straight at the city gate in two columns.
The dignitaries who were about to enter the city were abandoned outside the city gates, and no one dared to pass through them.
"What is this?" Wang Zhiyao was very curious, which prince is going out?
"In addition to the tiger ben and guards who are loyal to His Majesty, only Gu Sanshao and his eight hundred iron horsemen can be stationed in the capital. The governors of the five prefectures were nominally in charge of the military power in Gyeonggi, and without the above, the governors of the five prefectures could not mobilize anyone. The capital of the capital commanded the envoy...... According to what the emperor said, if you are not stationed in the capital, what else is the command of the capital? ”
Jiang Shi didn't know whether to lament Gu Sanshao's power or his specialness:
"If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty appointed Ji Ren, who was like a cool official and a mad dog, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it would not have caused the Jinyi Guard to have a bad reputation, and the sons of Xun Gui would rather go to Jinwuwei than enter the Jinyi Guard, and most of the people who have entered the Jinyi Guard now have no background."
"Gu Sanshao didn't become Jin Wuwei?"
"After the Duke of Dingguo asked the eldest son to be the son, His Majesty planned to make him an uncle, but he was persuaded by the elders, and the emperor took a step back and named him a first-class viscount, and then the emperor carved out five thousand people from the tiger and handed them to Gu Sanshao, who was only thirteen years old, commanding five thousand people, Jin Wuwei could not afford this 'big Buddha', the emperor specially set up the official position of the commander of the capital, and the elders of the cabinet discussed for a long time, and finally persuaded His Majesty to set Gu Sanshao's official position on the fourth grade."
Even if Wang Zhiyao didn't see it with her own eyes, she could think that the elders were worried about this matter at that time.
In order to show his special favor for Gu Sanshao, Emperor Qianyuan did not listen to anyone's objections at all, even the first and auxiliary cabinets...... Wang Zhiyao silently wrote down a point, Emperor Qianyuan acted arbitrarily, and the elders couldn't contain him at all.
It seems that the strong first auxiliary mode is impossible to open in the national dynasty, at least when Emperor Qianyuan is emperor, no one can limit the provocation of imperial power.
Jiang's ears moved slightly, and he said firmly: "He's here." ”
From far to near, a team of galloping horses was extremely fast, and there was no intention of slowing down at the gate of the capital.
Wang Zhiyao poked out his head, Gu Sanshao was surrounded by Li Zhuorong and others in the middle, dressed in the costume of a noble son, covered with a streamer-smooth mink cloak, Gu Tianze seemed to be born rich and noble, not like an iron-blooded general who commanded five thousand soldiers and horses.
However, the soldiers standing at the gate of the city, after seeing Gu Sanshao approaching on horseback, lowered their heads one after another, and they expressed their submission with the white feather hairpin on the low-hanging helmet.
The people at the gates of the city seemed to have been suddenly taken away by the gods, and only the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the air.
Under such a momentum, Gu Tianze became more and more handsome.
Gu Sanshao closely attracted the attention of all men and women, the men were eager to replace him, and the women were mostly in love with him.
After he entered the city, the soldiers who welcomed him rode away, and the city gate was once again lively, most people were discussing Gu Sanshao's favor, and some people were looking forward to Gu Sanshao's fall from grace.
Arrogant, Wang Zhiyao muttered: "Is he too arrogant?" ”
"I have been favored by the emperor for more than ten years, if there is no movement today, I doubt that the emperor has ulterior motives."
Jiang Shi saw Wang Zhiyao's eyebrows twisted with a hint of interest, and said: "The emperor once said that he chose the best woman to be his wife, the country did not have a prince, and many people were talking about it, and when he chose his relatives, the scale would be no less than that of the prince choosing a concubine!" ”
"Mother......" Wang Zhiyao couldn't help but smile, "Are you worried that I will take a fancy to Gu Sanshao?" ”
Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "No young lady of the Wang family is qualified to enter the emperor's eyes. Even if you have Xiningbo to rely on, the world attaches more importance to the official position of the fourth master. ”
"So the fifth sister tries her best to be his favorite daughter, she is a concubine, and the future of marriage cannot be separated from the mother, but if the father is the master of the fifth sister, the mother is afraid that she will have to obey her husband's orders."
"......" this time the Jiang family's eyes were complicated, "I won't let her behave in front of the fourth master again, after returning home...... I will never just listen to the fourth master. ”
"As long as you look hard, your mother will naturally find out who is the most loved by the fairy, mother, remember to be attentive."
The corners of Wang Zhiyao's mouth are slightly hooked, and it is true to fight for her father, but when Wang Yixin is crushed by Jiang's family, who can Wang Zhixuan fight?
There are more concubines in the noble mansion, and the Jiang family should be able to see clearly how the concubines of other people's families live under their mothers-in-law.
The main entrance of the Hou Mansion was easily not opened, and the carriage in which the Jiang family was riding entered through the side door.
Lifting the curtain, Wang Zhiyao looked at the Hou Mansion from afar, she is back, the Jiang family has also changed to a lesser extent, the Wang family, who is good at pretending, are you all ready?
"I've seen Madame." Wang Yixin another concubine, Liu Shifu bowed.
"I've seen my mother." Wang Zhixuan was thoughtful, dressed simply, and measured in place, and said respectfully: "Mother has worked hard all the way. ”
Wang Zhiyao jumped out of the carriage first and asked, "Where is Aunt Yin?" I don't know if my mother is back home today? ”
Wang Zhixuan was greatly surprised by Wang Zhiyao, who had lost a circle, Wang Zhiyao was still wearing the best clothes, wrapped in a rare mink cloak, and the beauty that could not be shown because of her fat in the past was fully displayed at this time - slim and radiant.
Wang Zhiyao opened her mouth and asked Aunt Yin, as soon as she changed her past demeanor, she was rude and poked at the essence of the question, Wang Zhixuan was not easy to answer, could she say that Wang Yixin was afraid that Aunt Yin would suffer and not let Aunt Yin come to greet the Jiang family?
