41. Old Creation

repeatedly confirmed that this matter was not noticed by others, and the Tiele people who lived in the same camp with Liu Ting all drank alcohol and slept soundly, and Yuan Qixi's heart calmed down a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But he didn't sleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, he could see his niece Yuan Rouzhi.

Fourteen years ago, the Chaling Yuan family had just finished the ceremony for his niece, and Emperor Wu, who was determined to ask for a woman from a family for the prince, came to the door of the Yuan family. The fourth emperor of Great Wu, Emperor Wu Jing, Sun Xin, entered the main hall of the Yuan clan, and the royal lengthy Luan drove a small half of the tea ridge. It is said that Emperor Jing came in person and deliberately brought enough honor guards, which was considered to have given the Chaling Yuan family enough face, but the old lady at that time was not very happy, and Yuan Qixi was reluctant to give up this only niece.

Yuan Rouzhi's parents died when she urinated, and she was the only female relative of the Yuan family at this time, and no one in the Yuan family was in pain. Who would be willing to let her marry into the already royal family? Even if Emperor Shijing asked to marry Yuan Rouzhi for his only son-in-law, who is also the current prince, the Yuan family was not so happy. The prince's benevolence is well known to the world, but the world also knows that the prince set up Qiao Fenyuan, the eldest daughter of Liang Guogong, as his concubine a few years ago. Even the old lady, who was extremely uninterested in the affairs of the DPRK and China, shook her head: "The crown prince and the crown princess are cousins, and they have had a good relationship since childhood. The Liang family relied on military merits to ascend to the throne, and they have always been a little prejudiced against the family. The ladies of his family are not as delicate as the noble girls raised in the backyard, and they are free and easy to do things. Rou Zhi entered the East Palace as a side concubine, but she was afraid that she would not get along with the crown princess. ”

"Chaling is a month's drive from the capital, and Rou Zhi got married, and she didn't even have any relatives around her." Yuan Qixi's sister-in-law wiped her tears and said: "The old lady has always disliked being stained with the royal family, and our Rouzhi is the most gentle child, and I don't know what it will look like when I enter the royal door." Old lady, please find a way to refuse the emperor, right? It's really not good, aren't we still a princess? ”

Princess Shang is not a good thing in the eyes of the family, and there is no essential difference between marrying the royal family.

The patriarch sighed.

"I wanted to say no, too. But before Emperor Jing came to our house, he touched the ashes of his nose in other families, and he was afraid that he would not give up as he wished. The old lady said helplessly, "Ask Rou Zhi if she is willing." ”

In fact, there is no need to ask, the Yuan family knows that Yuan Rouzhi is willing. Hearing that rejecting the emperor would block the path of the Yuan family's children to enter the ranks, Yuan Rouzhi agreed without thinking about it. As soon as Emperor Jing Luan drove into Chaling, there was still a half-day journey from the Yuan family's house, Yuan Rouzhi expressed her attitude: "The prince is benevolent, and he may not be a good person. On the side of the crown princess, I respect her, and she will probably not embarrass me. ”

Won't you be embarrassed? Even Yuan Rouzhi herself understands that when she enters the East Palace as a woman from a family, she is "innocent of her husband and guilty of her guilt".

The family of Dawu is not a family of the powerful, let alone the gate of the eunuchs, but a real gateway to the clear stream. The big family that has accumulated over the years, and even the bloody wind and rain of changing the dynasty cannot be shaken, is recognized as a family by the Great Wu people. The wealth that the long years have given to the family is not only the proud longevity and supreme reputation, but also the mysteries that have been lost in the world, and the people of insight who are dissatisfied with the present world have taken the initiative to defect. It can be said that Emperor Wu Jing is not only interested in the reputation of the family, but also hopes that through the marriage contract, the family's treasures and secrets can open the door for the prince. But how did the emperor know that the treasures of the family have always been passed on to men and not women. is a daughter, and the Yuan family can not give much.

The Yuan family has survived for the shortest time in the Seven Sects of Great Wu, and compared to other families, the Yuan family's treasures are pitiful. This is also why Emperor Jing found the Chaling Yuan clan with great fanfare after several other families ran into a wall. The problem is that the family does not want to be related to the royal family by marriage. The experience of changing the dynasty has long made the family understand that in order to stand tall in the great changes, it is necessary for the children of the people who have entered the dynasty to have a grasp of the situation in the DPRK and China, and more importantly, to keep a certain distance from the royal family.

For thousands of years, the change of political power has never stopped. Let your royal family turn over the wind and rain again, and then control the world, once replaced by others will be turned into ashes of history, only the family that is good can withstand the turmoil of the change of regime. Not having an in-law with the royal family is an important magic weapon for the survival of the family.

In the four dynasties of the past dynasties, the "five surnames and seven clans" (Note 1), who were so prominent that the empress of the previous dynasty wanted to find a way to squeeze in, was not because of the fact that there was a queen of the previous dynasty, and the children were all officials of the third rank or above in the court, and they were jealous of the empress? After Da Wu destroyed the former dynasty, he wiped out the five surnames and seven clans that had in-laws with the royal family of the previous dynasty, and there was no living mouth. This made the seven families that had been suppressed by the five surnames and seven clans come to the front of the stage and became a family praised by the Emperor of Great Wu and the people as "the most clear and clear".

The life of the family is longer than that of any dynasty, and if you want to continue to grow, you can't have an in-law relationship with the royal family! Otherwise, how can we talk about clarity? How can a person of insight who is not angry with the present world come to him? Even if the famous Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty asked for the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang clan in the five surnames and seven clans at that time to be his wife, he was almost refused. What's more, it was the Great Wu royal family, which was not very friendly to the family in the early days of the founding of the dynasty?

From the moment Emperor Jing ascended the door of the family, the old lady knew that this matter would eventually be pushed to the head of the Yuan family, and Yuan Rouzhi saw it in her eyes. She knew that for the sake of the family's long-term plans, she had to keep her distance from the royal family. However, if he refuses to be the emperor of the dynasty, he is still an emperor who has touched the ashes of other families......

The Son of Heaven was really angry, and it was not difficult to forcibly make the Yuan family disappear regardless of the impact. What's more, no one in the Yuan family said that the prince Sun Yuan was benevolent. Whether it was in the position of the Yuan family or her own position, Yuan Rouzhi did not feel that there was a reason to refuse.

After some twists and turns, the Yuan family tearfully married their only concubine into the East Palace. With this family business, the Yuan family felt that it should be low-key, and began to plan to transfer the children of the scholars out of the capital.

Whether Rou Zhi is doing well in the East Palace, Yuan Qixi, as an elder brother, is inconvenient to ask. He only knew that more than a year after his sister married into the East Palace, she became the only pregnant concubine of the crown prince. But before the Yuan family came out of the joy, the news of the four princes killing the crown prince came over. The four princes can step on the corpse of their brothers, what can't they do? The behavior of besieging the East Palace proves that the four princes intend to kill them quickly. The Yuan family panicked at that time, and looked around for people to inquire about the situation in the East Palace, but they got one bad news after another. Yuan Qixi's last news was that the crown prince's concubine Yuan and the newly born princess had died. After that, the Yuan family recalled all the children in Beijing, and the old lady also asked Yuan Qixi to settle all the transactions under the name of the Yuan family.

It can be said that the Yuan family has been getting worse and worse in the past ten years. Although the deliberate show of weakness and forbearance escaped the liquidation of the new emperor's accession to the throne, they did not escape the emperor's eight-year blow. Yuan Qixi was extremely remorseful, hating himself for being powerless, and watched the Chaling Yuan clan go down; hated the impermanence of fate, and the girl who made the Yuan family too late to suffer died alone in the unaccompanied capital.

But now, Yuan Qixi felt that all his hatred had turned into torment-the medicine given by the old lady made him see his niece's private mark on Liu Ting's back!
