Now that more than a month has passed since Xue Yuan went to the south, Jiang You has gradually adapted to the hectic nature of the pro-government, going to the court on time every day to listen to the ministers' performances, and after the next court, he will correct the excerpts, or leave several ministers in the cabinet to discuss matters.

Second Master Zhang endured it for more than a month, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so today he gave a look at the people in the Ministry of Officials who bought it, and the person understood and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." After he finished speaking, he bowed and said loudly: "According to the law of the Qi Dynasty, the title is inherited, and the eldest son should inherit the title when the father dies, if the father dies without the eldest son, it should be inherited by the brother of the in-law. ”

Jiang You knew that sooner or later he would have to come to such a scene, so he ordered the second master Zhang to come out, sat behind the bookcase with his hands propped up, and waited quietly for him to salute, and only when he saw him get up did he slowly ask: "Zhang Langzhong, I remember that I said a few years ago that I would let Donglan be a guard in the palace again after the New Year, what about others?" Why didn't you report it? ”

Second Master Zhang received an errand in the Ministry of Rites, so Jiang You directly called him an official position, he didn't expect Jiang You to ask him about this, and he paused before saying: "If you go back to the emperor, Donglan is ill, so he has not been able to take office, and the minister will ask for his guilt first." ”

Jiang You saw him blatantly fooling himself, and couldn't help but sink his face slightly: "I remember that Old Madam Zhang didn't also have a bad attitude the day before yesterday?" Originally, when the Zhenguo Gong was here, the upper and lower dishes were all good, but now when the Zhenguo Gong has something, there is an accident up and down the Zhenguo Mansion, how did you become a son of man? ”

If Xiaozong was here, Second Master Zhang might still be a little jealous, but now facing Jiang You, he bowed unhurriedly and sighed: "The minister can't take care of his mother, he can't pull his nephew, and the minister is also very ashamed in his heart, but the eldest brother has been in charge of the house for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of power, and the minister will inevitably be unable to take care of it, and the mother and the three nephews are sick together, and they are also anxious, but who makes the minister not the nominal master of the Zhenguo Mansion, even if he has the heart, he is powerless." ”

This is the meaning of power, Jiang You has encountered this kind of tricky person for the first time since he was in power, and he couldn't help but purse his lips, not that she wanted to manage the affairs of her relatives' family again and again, but that the Zhang family was her uncle's family, and the Zhenguo Mansion was the representative of Xungui, and he had a deep prestige among Xungui, if it was not handled properly, it would not only be the arm of the Zhang family that would be lost, but more likely Xungui's support. As long as Zhen Guogong or Zhang Dongzheng and Zhang Donglan are still the head of the Zhang family, the Zhang family and Xungui will support her wholeheartedly.

She reluctantly sorted out her thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, even if you are not the prince of Zhenguo, you are always a son of the Zhang family, who should be disobedient to you." She didn't want to be led by his nose, so she turned back to the topic and said: "Whether Donglan is sick or handy, you have to see someone, since you said that he is sick, then I will send the imperial doctor back to the house with you, and give Mrs. Zhang and Donglan a look at the illness together." ”

Second Master Zhang paused, his face was still calm and respectful, but there was no respect in his eyes, and he said slowly: "The emperor is very loving, and the minister should not refuse, but the eldest brother has already had an accident as the prince of Zhenguo, and the mansion of Zhenguo is also in name only, and the imperial doctor is specially for the emperor to see the disease, how can Zhang Fu dare to enjoy this privilege again?" I'm afraid that I will be handed over an excerpt by the imperial historian. ”

The topic turned back to the raider, Jiang You frowned: "The whereabouts of the Duke of Zhenguo are unknown, and the body has not been found yet, so it may not be gone." Take a step back and say, my brother has not yet mourned, and you are in such a hurry to succeed your brother's position, doesn't it make everyone feel cold? ”

Second Master Zhang didn't speak, and someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the family can't be left without an owner for a day, Zhenguo Gong is a famous family for generations, and he is a family in the army. Zhang Lang's relay is suitable for love and courtesy, and he also asks the emperor for permission. ”

His words had already raised this matter to the level of the government, and Jiang You glanced at him indifferently: "Even if the position of Zhenguo Gong can't be vacant, it doesn't necessarily have to be him to inherit it, doesn't Zhenguo Gong still have a son?" ”

The person from the ministry bowed slightly, and pretended to sigh: "If you go back to the emperor, that is the second son of Zhenguo Gong, not only young, but also a concubine, since the lineage is still there, how can there be a reason to give up the heir and go to the concubine?" ”

Second Master Zhang's face showed a slight smugness, and he sighed and bowed and said: "What the emperor said is naturally a good way, but it's a pity that Donglan is a concubine, otherwise what does it matter if Weichen gives up his title?" ”

Liu Shilang said solemnly: "Please also ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, don't let other noble families chill." This is already threatening.

These two sang and partnered, arguing everywhere, the people on the side didn't care, they watched coldly, they just treated Jiang You as a monkey, they only knew that she was able to be the throne safely until now all thanks to Xue Yuan's support, and now the one who can make waves is gone, she is just a yellow-haired girl in their eyes, isn't it easy to fiddle?

Li Xiangzhong couldn't see that someone was so rampant, and couldn't help but reprimand: "The emperor's decision, how can you interfere? Although he helped Jiang You, he was not very optimistic about the success of this matter, and it was reasonable for Second Master Zhang to ask for an attack, and he couldn't blame anything.

Jiang You's eyebrows moved, this is the first tricky thing she has encountered since she became a politician, if she is like this, she will be soft, but I am afraid that no one will take her seriously. She leaned back, changed into a more comfortable position, and said slowly: "Zhang Lang is middle-aged and old, I'm afraid that he will go west in a few years, and he will have to change people when the time comes, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" ”

After saying this, some people couldn't help laughing, some people turned pale, Jiang You slowly glanced at it, his lips lifted, he looked like the Emperor Chengzu who fought the world at the beginning, everyone was heartbroken, and they listened to her continue to say casually: "What's more, there is a second son behind the Duke of Zhenguo, and Zhang Langzhong has no sons-in-law, if he goes west, then there will be no successor." ”

Everyone knows how the son of the second master Zhang died, but at this time, Jiang You casually lifted the old bottom, he couldn't help but twitch his face a few times, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Jiang You knew that the people at the bottom respected him just for the face, and in private, he violated the yang and the yin too much, and sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Liu Shilang immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, Zhang Lang is about forty years old, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, and there will definitely be parents and children in the future, and it is a taboo not to divide the concubine, the name of the concubine has been decided, and it is impossible to cross the concubine. ”

Jiang You sighed: "You said that the concubine cannot be crossed by the concubine, but the parent-child line must have priority over the side brothers, is this wrong?" ”

Liu Shilang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and when he saw that she was still calm, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "What the emperor said is true." ”

Jiang You snapped his fingers: "Bring things up." Then someone came up from the side hall with a brocade box, she ordered someone to open the brocade box, and saw that there was an old holy decree inside, she took a sip of tea and moistened her throat: "At the beginning, the queen mother had asked her father to let him make an order to change Donglan to a son-in-law, at that time, Mrs. Zhang was still there, and after receiving the order, she adopted him to the knees, and then opened the ancestral hall to give him a correct name, recorded in the name of the eldest lady, and now he is a righteous son-in-law regardless of reason and law, what else do you have to say?" ”

At the beginning, Queen Zhang actually admired Zhang Donglan's appearance, so she moved her mind to match him and Jiang You, and was afraid that there would be great resistance to marriage in the future, so she raised her identity to Zhang Donglan early, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Second Master Zhang didn't know that there was such an obstacle, he was dumbfounded when he looked at the holy decree, and couldn't help but want to see the authenticity of the holy decree, the Zhang family was afraid that Zhang Donglan would take advantage of this to be arrogant, so he didn't make a noise, he was in a foreign place at the time, of course he didn't know about it.

Jiang You said lazily: "What did Liu Shilang say?" It is a taboo not to divide the concubines, but is it a taboo for the side sect to overstep its power? You're well-read and memorized, but tell me about it. ”

Liu Shilang was speechless, and glared at Second Master Zhang angrily, if he had known that there was such a holy purpose, he would not be able to help him speak.

Jiang You snorted coldly: "You, the son of man, your mother is sick, your eldest brother is dead, you don't want to think about how to serve the bedside and take care of the aftermath, but you have the idea of a knighthood, what father raises what son, it can be seen that it is also a heartless thing!" She said lightly: "Spread my will, first let Zhang Donglan, the second son of Zhenguo Gong, temporarily take the position of the prince, and if there is no news from Zhenguo Gong for another year, he will take the title." ”

She looked at the second old man Zhang who lowered her head, covered the resentment in her eyes, and said with a calm face: "During this period, the second son of the Zhang family came to my palace to serve as a guard, and you went back to serve Mrs. Zhang. ”

Zhang Donglan wants to be a guard in front of the palace, how dare he start, not only can he not start, if something happens to him, he is afraid that the first one will have to rely on his head, Zhang Er thought that a teenage little girl doll could succeed by raising a few words of scare and scare, but he didn't expect to fall into the ground, and he took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the fire.

Jiang You announced her retirement from the court, she was comfortable in front of the courtiers, but in fact, she was also very nervous, this matter was not only a dispute between the two rooms of the Zhang family, but also represented that she had taken the first step to personally go to the court council, and also showed her attitude, the people who firmly followed me will naturally be treated well, and those treacherous people should not think that they can control the government.

She was still overjoyed when she returned to the palace, and couldn't help dancing in the palace, at this time, the incense mark that had combed the woman's hair bun came in, and said with a smile: "The emperor is such a big person, and he is still like a child when he encounters a happy event." "She is now married to Sun Henian, although she is married to a eunuch, but she looks quite good.

When Jiang You saw her, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You're just getting married, aren't you allowed to stay at home for a few more days?" How did this come about? ”

Xiangyin also smiled: "I'm used to following the emperor, and I can't see it for a day, and I panic." She pouted inwardly: "The factory sent a letter and something, why don't you go in and take a look?" ”
