Chapter 39: The Han Family
In early March, the study of the East Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhao Fuan saw that the little eunuch at the door had probed the probe, so he went out to ask, and came back to report to Chu Yuanyu, "Your Highness, the stone guard has returned from Hangzhou and is waiting outside." ā
Chu Yuan was writing an excerpt about the personnel changes in Jiangnan. Emperor Jing and Emperor Chu Xu only have one son, naturally there is no drama of suspicion between father and son, he has taken Chu Yuan with him since he was a child to deal with political affairs, and now there are many decrees of the imperial court, Chu Yuan will provide his own opinions.
I heard that Shi Yan was back, and after writing the last stroke, he said, "Xuan." Zhao Fuan immediately said yes, turned around and went out to bring Shi Yan into the study.
"Your Highness, please."
"Get up and talk back."
Shi Yan stood up and said, "My subordinates went to Nanjing first and met a few adults. Now the whole of Jiangnan is building embankments with cement. Mrs. Xie said that there were some problems between Haining Zhixian and the Huang family, a salt merchant, and decent people were staring, this is a letter written to you by several adults. After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows, did not open the letter immediately, looked at Shi Yan and did not speak.
Shi Yan was a little cautious, and he wanted to tease His Royal Highness the Prince, but he didn't expect to be defeated by the prince's obscenity, or he was too shallow. Shi Yan touched his nose, and had to continue, "My subordinates sent a congratulatory gift to the three girls on March 3, and the three girls opened the gift box with their own hands, and they saw that they liked that kind of seed and diamond very much. I also sent you a letter back. ā
Chu Yuan took Han Qing's letter and threw Shi Yan out with an impatient expression. Shi Yanxin said, if I hadn't told you again and again, the three girls would not be willing to reply to you, and they would definitely not help you next time!
Chu Yuan read Han Qing's reply first, although the little girl was young, she wrote a beautiful hairpin flower, and she already had a hidden style. Read the content carefully, look at the black state of this article, and even copy the original words of the girls of whose family, it can be seen that I was very angry at that time. In the end, I wrote that I liked the gift, and there were no three sentences in total, so it was perfunctory.
Chu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, a little happy that Han Qing didn't see him, and he was willing to complain to him if he was wronged. After being beautiful for a while, she frowned again, she didn't expect that the Zhu family and the Sun family had become arrogant like this, and the people who insulted Han Qing behind the scenes had silently boarded the small book of the crown prince who loved to hold grudges.
After reading several other letters from Jiangnan, Chu Yuan got up and went to the imperial study.
Emperor Jinghe was working in the study, and he was waiting for Gao Delu, the first chief eunuch of the Great Interior.
"Yuan'er has something important?"
"Erchen has a few suggestions for personnel changes in Jiangnan key personnel." Chu Yuan handed over the fold to his father, and said, "In the previous incident of the son-in-law's encounter with the poisoned arrows of the Japanese invaders, my people lurked in Jiangnan and checked again and again, and found that many of the crew members were killed by the Songjiang prefect, and now the evidence is insufficient, I am afraid that I will not be able to get the handle of these people." ā
"Hmph, I just gave birth to a son, and I dare to harm my son's life, so coveting my Daqi country, his heart can be punished." When Chu Yuan came back from Jiangnan, he told his father about the poisoned arrows he encountered, and the father and son had been secretly investigating for a long time. Now because he can't get the evidence of Zhu Ge Lao and Huai Anbo, he can only endure it.
"If the prediction is not bad, this time the Hangzhou prefect can be used as an introduction, and the officialdom in Jiangnan can be rectified, and these people will be transferred from confidential positions first." According to the clues provided by the Xie family, it is just right to make some articles on it.
"That's exactly how it should be, but it's better to be natural. So you're going to go to Gangnam again this year? Chu Xu frowned slightly and looked at his son.
"Don't worry, father, didn't my son tell you, I have an adventure in Jiangnan, and my skills have been perfected, so I won't have an accident easily."
"It is precisely because you have practiced the Immortal Cultivation Skill that I am really glad and worried about my father. Fortunately, you are in good health and have great skills, and you can protect yourself in case of trouble. But the worry is because your master said that you are a person with immortal fate, and I am afraid that you will always encounter those bizarre things when you go out. Where are parents not worried. ā
"Fathers have to believe that their sons will always be in trouble. Besides, if you have a few more adventures, your son will become an immortal directly, and your father can rest assured, it is not so easy to become an immortal. When they are not talking about business, the two get along like ordinary father and son, and this kind of intimate father-son relationship is extremely rare in royal relationships.
Chu Xu was amused by his son, "Okay, no matter what, this time as a father, I have to send you a lot of people to protect you." Always beware of those who are confused. ā
"Whatever the father says, the son does." Coaxed Chu Xu into laughter.
In May, with the continuous heavy rain in the south, the imperial study began to be busy again. Judging from the news coming back from various places, the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, which were the hardest-hit areas in previous years, have surprisingly suffered the smallest losses this year. At the beginning of July, Chu Yuan had already begun to review the silver and silver materials for disaster relief, and by the way, he was preparing to pass through Jiangnan to close Yu Boru's case.
After the father and son finished discussing political affairs, Chu Xu said, "The floods in the south have been too busy for several days, and we may not have been able to see your imperial grandmother for a long time, so it is better to go now, and we can have lunch at your grandmother's." When Gao Delu heard the emperor say this, he immediately sent someone to Cining Palace with great eyes.
Cining Palace.
A little palace maid got a message from the high father-in-law of the Qianqing Palace, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she immediately went back to Aunt Liao, the housekeeper of Cining Palace. Aunt Liao has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she knows that Qiao, the Duchess of Rongguo, who is now talking with the Queen Mother, is the Handkerchief of the Queen Mother, so she did not shy away from it, so she directly told the emperor and the prince that they were coming to Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Qiao's, and Qiao's eyes obviously flashed with hope.
It is said that the Rongguo Mansion is one of the founding of the four princes, and with the Taizu Emperor's southern expedition to the north, he started with military merits, and the Chu royal family is a lifelong friendship. Since the founding of the country, it has been the real home of Zhongming Dingshi.
Now the heirs of the family are prosperous, but in order to seek the trust of the Chu royal family, they have long ceased to be in charge of the military, and most of the heirs are taking the path of Yin En. The noble family has no military power, only relying on the royal family to raise them, and for several generations, although they have honors, they have raised many gentlemen.
Let's say that this generation of Rongguo Mansion, relying on the relationship between Duchess Rongguo Qiao and the Queen Mother's best friend, still has some face in the capital. But he knows best that the Qiao family is also the heir of the next generation of the Rongguo Mansion, and he is heartbroken.
If you ask who this prince of Rongguo is, it is Han Qing's cheap father, and Han Meng is also. Today, Qiao's family came to the palace to find the queen mother, which was also for the sake of the prince Han Meng.
It was because Rongguo Gong Hantai gave birth to a total of four sons, the eldest and the second were all born by Qiao's family, and these four sons were all people who did not have a big career, but especially the prince was the most gentle. In order to support his son, Rong Guogong married a capable daughter-in-law to his four sons, because his daughter-in-law was too capable, but there were many incidents in the family.
Qiao's daughters-in-law are like fighting in the ring every day, especially the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are like black-eyed chickens. Last year, the second daughter-in-law's maiden home, Huai'an Bofu, gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the Sun family was about to leave sideways in the Han Mansion. There is a great intention to kick the eldest daughter-in-law Jiang from Yicheng Bofu from the position of housewife.
Jiang couldn't swallow it in his heart, and he wanted to get a girl and send him to the palace to give birth to a son. But at the beginning of this year, Han Meng's concubine Li gave birth to the ninth young master Han Yu, that's right, it is the ninth young master, the Han family Guogong Mansion, a total of nine young masters, but not a single girl was born.
The Jiang family was completely desperate, and it was not happy to look for the prince for three days and two days. This prince walks the dog and fights cocks and walks around the Qinglou on weekdays, and there is rarely anything unpleasant, and now his wife wants a daughter with him, the older he gets, the more he can't handle it, okay, he finally let the Li family conceive one, and he was born with a handle. He's also helpless.
It's a shame that there are often reminders around me, saying that you have given birth to a girl, and you have been left in a house in Da'an County, and I haven't been to see it for many years, do you remember. Han Meng slapped his thigh, but there was no such a house, if he knew that he lacked a daughter, he would have taken it back and raised it.
So he told the Jiang family about having a daughter, and the Jiang family was about to get angry, but he really had nowhere to get a girl, this was not like being sleepy and someone sent a pillow, so he didn't care about Han Meng. The couple hurriedly sent someone to Da'an County to pick them up, but the news that came back made it difficult for the two to sleep.
Listening to He You of Da'anzhi County, this Han girl was recognized by Mrs. Xie's family a few years ago. The three girls of Mrs. Xie's family, during the Chinese New Year this year, were also a small popular figure in the circle of the powerful, all because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back from Jiangnan, she always talked about it, and she was very pampered.
The two husbands and wives did not dare to offend Mrs. Xie. If you let Taifu know that it was Han Meng who abandoned the girl who had been missing for many years and gave his life at a young age, then he didn't come to the capital to fight with him. Han Meng completely stopped thinking about recognizing his daughter.
