Chapter 132
On January 22, the three princes ascended the throne, but at this enthronement ceremony, Emperor Hongqing suddenly appeared with his army, quickly took control of the situation, reprimanded the three princes and everyone present, and ordered them to be imprisoned in the prison.
The third prince collapsed to the ground in fright, looked at Prime Minister Wen for help, Prime Minister Wen sighed, said "God does not bless me", then pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, committed suicide, and this farce of ascending the throne was also over.
Emperor Hongqing regained power and wiped out all the Wen clan's henchmen in the court, plus the other officials involved, the court of the Dali Dynasty was empty.
There is a punishment, there is naturally a reward, for the people who have contributed to this turmoil, Emperor Hong Qing is also greatly promoted, for a while, there are many new faces in the court, many forces reshuffle, in this regard, everyone is either dormant and waiting, or carefully observed, the Li Dynasty has returned to calm.
The affairs of the court did not have much impact on the people, but they just added a little bit of talking to them, and after a few days, the freshness passed, and they even forgot about it, and continued to care about their firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
The Tian family was also one of these many people, but now it is a little different.
In the main hall of the Tian family, Jiang Wanbai secretly looked at the white-faced bearded man in front of her, and sighed with some emotion, it turned out that there were really eunuchs in ancient times, and eunuchs looked like this.
It's not as obscene or feminine as imagined, but it's very good-looking, and there is a bit of rigidity between gestures, like a senior housekeeper.
The eunuch who announced the decree didn't know Jiang Wanbai's thoughts, otherwise he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, after announcing the decree, he took people away, but the Tian family blew up.
"Mother, the emperor wants to see you, the emperor wants to see you......" Tian Lao Er was already incoherent with excitement, and repeated this sentence with his hands dancing.
"Mother, I'm not dreaming!" Tian Laosi pinched his arm with his hand and shouted in pain, only then did he believe that this was true.
โฆโฆ
Everyone was noisy, and Jiang Wanbai, who was noisy, had a headache, "Okay, even if you see the emperor, you can't skip eating, you missed lunch time with such a delay just now, the third daughter-in-law, how is the meal?" โ
Zhang sighed and ran out in a hurry, just now he was just listening to the eunuch's decree, and this rice was probably already stuck in the pot.
Sure enough, after a while, a burning smell wafted in from outside, and then everyone remembered that they were hungry, and they calmed down a lot, and began to say some practical things.
Wang said a little anxiously: "Mother, I heard that the emperor is going to wear a very grand ceremony, do you have suitable clothes, otherwise, we will buy cloth now?" I don't know if it's too late. โ
As soon as she said this, everyone thought so, and they couldn't wait to act immediately, "If it's too late, find more people to do it, my mother is going to see the emperor, who can make clothes for my mother, that's the blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes."
Daughter-in-law, you will go out to find someone in a while, and call everything that can be called in our village. No, you can't call them all, you have to pick up the good skills, this work can't be sloppy. โ
Tian Laosi was like a Maitreya Buddha, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the kang, shouting orders at Zhao, looking at him like that, as if he had become a Buddha, high up.
Zhao glared at Tian Laosi, ignored him, and said to Jiang Wanbai with some flattery: "Mother, what do you mean, I will listen to you." โ
"What, am I not right?" Tian Laosi was very dissatisfied with Zhao's attitude.
Zhao didn't even look at him.
Tian Laosi was a little unable to get off the stage, "My mother has seen the emperor, our family will be a family with status in the future, why don't you understand the rules at all, be careful of my ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Wanbai, "Okay, what kind of identity, it makes people laugh when you say it, you treat me in peace, I have my own opinions on this matter." โ
"Mother, then what are you going to do, do you need a sedan chair, or do you need good silk, as long as you speak, I will do it for you." Tian Laosi saw that Jiang Wanbai was speaking, and immediately put away his commanding look, and said a little dog-legged.
"I don't need anything. The emperor is a wise man, and he knows that I am a peasant woman, and he doesn't care about those clothes at all, but if I, as you say, I don't look like a donkey or a horse, I will laugh and be generous. Jiang Wanbai said.
The Tian family stopped talking, just like Jiang Wanbai said, they didn't know what clothes to wear or what accessories to get, they would only wear what they thought was good, and the result was conceivable.
In this way, at Jiang Wanbai's insistence, the Tian family finally calmed down, and the next day, Jiang Wanbai entered Beijing in an ox cart.
After arriving in the capital, the first thing she did was to go to see Tian Yinfeng, Tian Yinfeng's stomach was already slightly bulging, and her body seemed to be thinner than before.
Fortunately, the imperial envoy Tang has been released and promoted to a higher level, and now Tian Yinfeng is also in good spirits on happy occasions, seeing Jiang Wanbai coming, he is happy to cry and laugh.
Jiang Wanbai naturally wanted to comfort her, and before the two could speak for a while, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang took the initiative to see Jiang Wanbai, which made Jiang Wanbai feel flattered and called it rude.
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang value Tian Yinfeng, so they naturally respect Jiang Wanbai very much, you respect me, I respect you, Jiang Wanbai is not a fool, the four women chatted very harmoniously.
That night, Jiang Wanbai stayed at Tang's house, and the next day, she followed the Tang imperial envoy to wait outside the main hall, and when the hour came, the Tang imperial envoy and other civil and military officials entered the palace to go to court, and she stayed outside waiting for the emperor to summon her.
was looking at the palace of the Li Dynasty curiously, and as soon as the figure at the corner of the hall turned, a person turned around, and when the person saw Jiang Wanbai, his eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out to be Boss Tian, Jiang Wanbai saw him, and felt as if he had found a fly in the soup, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.
Boss Tian reacted for a while before he reacted, put away his surprise, he walked up to Jiang Wanbai, and whispered, "Mother, why are you here?" โ
"And why are you here again?" Jiang Wanbai didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"I denounce the three princes, condemn the rebellious ministers and thieves, known as the contemporary Boyi, Shuqi, no one in the entire Li Dynasty knows, no one knows, the emperor heard about me and wants to summon me, I am naturally here.
It's a mother's ......" Speaking of this, Boss Tian suddenly thought, could it be that the emperor values him too much, so he wants to meet Jiang Wanbai?
This is very likely, after the scholar became an official, he fought for his mother's life, but it was a great honor.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was the case, Tian Laojue's body was a little fluttering, and he looked at Jiang Wanbai proudly, and he said: "Mother, although you are sorry for me, you are always my mother, as long as you ......"
Who is sorry for you! Jiang Wanbai really didn't like to listen to Boss Tian's words, so she twisted her face and hung Boss Tian aside.
Boss Tian thinks that Jiang Wanbai can only come here if he is stained with his light, Jiang Wanbai cries bitterly without saying gratitude, and regrets it, he should also respect him and be kind to him, what does this attitude mean now.
With a snap, Boss Tian's face sank, "Mother, this is the palace, not the Tian family, nor the market, don't talk nonsense for a while, just look at my color and act, otherwise you will offend the emperor, and none of us will think about it." โ
"The same words, for you, don't think about those flies and dogs all day long, it's right to be a down-to-earth talent." Jiang Wanbai faced the blue sky and said loudly.
"You...... Hum! Boss Tian also turned his face to the side, he decided that if the emperor mentioned the matter of the edict for a while, he would refuse anything, and at that time, Jiang Wanbai would dare to do this to him.
Jiang Wanbai and Boss Tian don't like each other, they don't look like mother and son, like enemies.
After waiting for I don't know how long, there was a sudden eunuch inside who passed the word, saying that Jiang Wanbai and Tian Boss went to the palace.
Jiang Wanbai turned around and entered the main hall, only to see that the hall was โกโก meters high, hundreds of meters long, the majestic atmosphere of decoration, the civil and military officials were on both sides, silent, in the middle, at the end of the passage, a man who was not angry but powerful sat on a high dragon chair, looking down at everyone.
Walking on that passage is like walking on the stairs of worship, which makes people feel nervous and excited.
Sure enough, it was a layman, Jiang Wanbai noticed the changes in her body, and thought of it with some self-deprecation.
After the taunt, she was not so nervous, slowly but firmly came to the front of the steps, and knelt down without hesitation, after living in this ancient world for so long, she almost forgot about the equality of everyone.
She knelt down, and Boss Tian also quickly knelt down, but compared to her calmness, Boss Tian was much worse.
From birth to the present, the biggest official Tian Boss has ever seen is the county master, and he has only seen it from afar, and now he has seen this god and Buddha, plus he is so excited that his legs are shaking, it is estimated that if someone asks Tian Boss how he walked in, he can't answer.
What kind of person is Emperor Hong Qing, he has seen more people in his life than the starry sky, after a little look, he understood a little, his interest in Boss Tian instantly dissipated, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Wanbai's body, and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You are all meritorious and virtuous people, I want to reward you, I don't know what you want?" Emperor Hong Qing asked.
Jiang Wanbai also thought that maybe the emperor would ask this question before she came, and she was ready how to answer, but just as she was about to speak, Boss Tian suddenly rushed to say: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not doing this for rewards, but completely out of a loyal and patriotic heart."
The mother of the grass people doesn't understand anything, it is already a grace of heaven to be able to see the holy side, please don't give anything more to the emperor, the grass people deserve it. โ
Jiang Wan glanced at Boss Tian in vain, and said in her heart, the emperor rewarded me, what are you doing with it, what does it have to do with you!
Emperor Hong Qing also felt a little strange, but he didn't ask directly, but said to Jiang Wanbai: "You have a great favor to me, I want to hear what you mean." โ
As soon as Emperor Hong Qing's words came out, Boss Tian's face suddenly changed, Jiang Wanbai had a great favor to the emperor, how could he not know when this happened!
It turned out that the emperor didn't want to reward Jiang Wanbai because of him, so what he just said...... Boss Tian suddenly blushed and buried his head deeply, which looked a bit like a quail in danger, which was ridiculous.
Jiang Wanbai noticed the change in Boss Tian, and suddenly understood the meaning of Boss Tian's words just now, and couldn't help but feel amused.
However, the emperor was still watching from above, and she definitely couldn't laugh out loud, so she held back her laughter, bowed down, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I only hope that all sick people can use this medicine and wine, and there will be no more sickness in the world." โ
Jiang Wanbai's words were sonorous and powerful, virtuous and benevolent, and she felt a little fake, but it was in line with Emperor Hong Qing's thoughts.
"Good! Sure enough, he is a loving man. Emperor Hong Qing clapped his hands and praised, "I will leave this matter to you, and I hope that there will be no one in the world who suffers from this disease." โ
"Your Majesty." Jiang Wanbai actually just wants to sell Wujiapi wine, and now that the goal has been achieved, she naturally wants to be satisfied.
Emperor Hong Qing laughed, "However, this is for the benefit of the people, and it can't express my gratitude at all, let me think about it, what should I reward you." As he spoke, Emperor Hong Qing began to frown and think.
And at this moment, Ouyang Jun suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, what can be more joyful than a family reunion!" โ
"What do you mean?" Emperor Hong Qing asked.
"Emperor Qi, the minister's Liaonan is actually her son, but for some reason, the yin and yang are wrong, so they were separated.
Now, the minister begged the emperor for his brave killing of the enemy, and gave him to return to his original surname and reunite with his family. With that, Ouyang Jun fell to the ground.
"Some reasons?" Emperor Hong Qing asked.
Ouyang Jun glanced at Jiang Wanbai, he didn't mean to answer, he chose such an opportunity, and did this completely for the sake of Tian Lao Wu and Jiang Wanbai, Tian Lao Wu pretended to be someone else, and sooner or later he would be discovered, and it would be a big crime at that time, so it was better to take this opportunity to explain it clearly to the emperor.
But this matter still depends on what Jiang Wanbai means, how to say it, and what result she wants, he lets her decide.
Jiang Wanbai understood what Ouyang Jun meant, only to feel a little caught off guard and a little annoyed.
I really want to tell the story and the plate, but reason told her that what Emperor Hong Qing needs now is a story that can move him, and then there will be a happy ending, otherwise, if she angers the emperor, she doesn't know how this matter will end.
Ouyang Jun's move was a conspiracy, a conspiracy that she had to jump, but it was much more direct than Di Boxiu's conspiracy.
secretly scolded Ouyang Jun several times, Jiang Wanbai considered the words and told a tortuous and sad story.
The content of the story is probably that Tian Lao Wu was deceived by Ma Xiaocui and struggled between his lover and relatives, hoping to find a way to do both, but at this moment, Ma Xiaocui coaxed him to do something wrong, which made Tian Lao Wu break with the Tian family.
Ma Xiaocui achieved her goal, began to expose her true nature, hooked up with other men, Tian Lao Wu found out the truth, regretted and felt that he had no face to see his family, so he left away from home, incognito, and planned to live like this for the rest of his life.
Who would have thought that he would go around and return here in another capacity, not daring to see his family, he secretly rented a neighbor's house, just to be able to see his relatives from time to time.
Speaking of this, Jiang Wanbai secretly looked around and found that everyone was immersed in this story, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this is the way things are." โ
"That water-based poplar woman is simply disgusting, damn it!" Emperor Hong Qing listened to Jiang Wanbai's deleted, blurred, and processed story, and preconceived that Tian Lao Wu was a brave and loyal person, so he naturally blamed Ma Xiaocui for all the faults, and it was no wonder if he was not angry.
"The emperor is wise, she and that man have died in a fire." Jiang Wanbai hurriedly said, she was really afraid that Emperor Hong Qing would do something in anger.
At that time, Ma Xiaocui was at fault, but Tian Lao Wu's fault was not small, she was already very selfish to beautify Tian Lao Wu's mistakes for herself and the Tian family, if she implicated others because of this, she would have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.
"If you die well, it is true that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded, not that you will not be rewarded, the time has not come." Emperor Hong Qing sighed and said, "Liao, no, where is Captain Tian?" โ
When the people next to him heard this, they hurriedly went down to pass on Tian Lao Wu.
Tian Lao Wu was rewarded one step earlier, and he has been named a captain, which is an official position of the ninth grade, but the ninth rank official has no right to stand in the court at all, so the emperor wants to see him, and he has to wait for a while.
Fortunately, the speed of the messenger was still very fast, and after a while, Tian Lao Wu appeared in the main hall and saw Tian Lao Da and Jiang Wanbai, the three of them met here, and the emotion in their hearts can be imagined.
Emperor Hongqing's son rebelled, and he now needs some positive deeds to educate the people, so that they will be loyal to the monarch, patriotic and observe etiquette.
And Jiang Wanbai, Tian Laowu, and Tian Laoda are all meritorious people, the Tian family has two people, one literary and one martial, and the mother has great virtue, which is what Emperor Hongqing wants to vigorously promote, so he thought about it for a while and made a will.
The will said that Tian Lao Wu would return to his original surname, enter the Tian family tree, give Jiang Wanbai a mansion, one hundred taels of gold, fifty brocade horses, and appoint Tian Lao Da as the head of the Ministry of Rites, and the official residence of six products, and everyone in the Tian family should do their best to serve the imperial court.
As soon as the holy decree was issued, Boss Tian almost jumped up with joy, the six-rank official, and he was a Beijing official, even if he was the champion of the department, it was almost this treatment, he wrote an article in a hurry, and he became it, it was really blessed by God.
He was happy, Tian Lao Wu was also excited, he thought about this day and night, and now that he got his wish, he only felt as if he was in a dream.
Compared to the excitement of the two of them, Jiang Wanbai was not so happy.
Although she also knows that these days, with the bond of Di Moyun, Tian Lao Wu and the Tian family are getting closer and closer, and now this result will appear sooner or later, but she just feels very awkward, so after leaving the hall, she didn't look at the two of them, and left on her own.
"Mother......" Tian Lao Wu had already heard the story Jiang Wanbai said, and he was so excited that Jiang Wanbai could defend him like this, he almost wanted to cry, so he quickly called Jiang Wanbai.
Jiang Wanbai continued to walk forward as if she hadn't heard his words.
Tian Lao Wu also knew that Jiang Wanbai was angry, so he hurriedly walked a few steps and came to Jiang Wanbai's side, he didn't care if anyone was watching, so he knelt there and stopped Jiang Wanbai, "Mother, I really didn't know about today's events in advance." โ
Of course, Jiang Wanbai knew that this was not Tian Lao Wu's business, but he was the biggest beneficiary, so she naturally became angry with him, bypassing Tian Lao Wu, she wanted to continue to move forward.
"What are you angry about? Angry with me, or angry with yourself? Ouyang Jun stopped Jiang Wanbai.
Jiang Wanbai bypassed him and continued to walk forward.
"You know in your heart that this is the best ending, that's why you say that, do that, you're doing the right thing, and mine is not wrong, why do you bother." Ouyang Jun turned around and said to Jiang Wanbai's back.
Jiang Wanbai's body paused, and then continued to walk away, knowing what, if she knew that she had to do this, there would not be so many wrong things in the world, and she lied about it, she couldn't pass her own level.
Ouyang Jun looked at Jiang Wanbai's back a little gloomy, and after the gloom, he turned to Tian Lao Wu and said, "Take good care of your mother in the future, otherwise, I will be the first to spare you." โ
Tian Lao Wu nodded hurriedly, and then caught up with Jiang Wanbai, and escorted her all the way home regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
Back at home, the Tian family naturally had a lot to ask, but Jiang Wanbai didn't want to say anything at all, so she went back to the house alone to rest.
The Tian family thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly asked Tian Lao Wu, and as soon as Tian Lao Wu told him about the matter, everyone was relieved and discussed happily.
The efficiency of the Li Dynasty was still quite high, and the next day, the gold, house deed, and title deed that were rewarded to Jiang Wanbai arrived, and the Tian family had never seen so much gold, and they were happy and didn't know what to do.
If a person has money, and suddenly has money, I'm afraid I don't know what I will become, Tian Laosi is, he feels that Tianjia Village can no longer satisfy him at all, he wants to go to the capital, to eat fragrant, drink spicy, to go to the legendary Yihong Mansion, Gentle Township to see.
"Mother, when are we moving?" Tian Laosi stared at the deed, and his eyes were about to fall.
"Moving?" Jiang Wanbai's hand holding the deed tightened, this time when she went to the capital, she lived in the Tang Imperial Envoy's house, and only then did she know what kind of life the rich person lived, and what kind of life she lived.
It stands to reason that although the emperor's mansion cannot be compared with the imperial envoy's mansion, it must be thousands of times better than here, and she is willing to go to the capital in her heart, but can she go now?
