83. Plan ahead
For more than his own family can see the benefits of the third prince, Yuan Ziqing doesn't care, "So what?" We don't need to learn from the dragon's work, but we can help him when we need to, so that he can appreciate it. ...... in the future"
He originally wanted to say that in the future, as long as he could ensure that the Fuwang Mansion would not be affected by the transfer of power between the old and the new, it would be fine. But when he turned his head and saw a serious look on his eyebrows, he couldn't help but tease her, "In the future, when our children attack the knighthood, it would be great if they didn't descend." β
The titles of the clan are all descended.
According to this rule, when the title of Fuwangfu is passed to Yuan Ziqing, it will become Fujun Wangfu. But because the emperor favored him, he promised that if he was a knight, he would not be demoted. So Yuan Ziqing used this to make fun of his eyebrows. If their children can also be favored by the emperor, they naturally do not need to be demoted, and they are still the blessed kings.
His eyebrows recognized it, and he frowned and said, "I'd rather he be healthy and safe, even if he is demoted?" Counting on the shadow of the ancestors is not a long-term solution. β
Yuan Ziqing was rejoiced by her, "The lady is right, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation will be beheaded." There has never been a family that has not fallen for thousands of years, and the most important thing is that it can stand on its own. In that case, we will not covet his title. β
"I didn't have any knighthood in mind." Mei said, "Didn't they all say that you were not in good health, and the title should be passed on to Zifang?" Now that I think about it, you're so good, and it's not fair to him. I just want to guard you, what a title, never to heart. β
"I don't care either." Yuan Ziqing said, "But this blessed king, I'm afraid only I inherit it." β
His relationship with the emperor is there, and even if he is jealous, he still has some affection. But if it's Yuanzifang, it's different. So Yuan Ziqing struggled, obviously more than once the doctor announced that he was hopeless and could prepare for the future, but he lived for more than ten years.
Thank God, these ten years have not been in vain, so God sent him an eyebrow.
The husband and wife exchanged hearts at the end of a conversation, and each other's hearts seemed to be filled. At this time, it is not suitable to mention the previous topic, Yuan Ziqing held the hand on the side of his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Lady, give me a child." Give birth to a daughter like you, and I will love her like a jewel. β
His brows were red, but he still insisted, "It's only right to have a son like you." β
"Why?"
"Didn't you listen to your mother? The crown princess has been infertile for three years, and everyone knows her suffering, but she is still inevitably pointed at. Actually......" said with some hesitation on his eyebrows, "I feel a little uneasy. β
"What's wrong?" Yuan Ziqing heard her voice with trepidation, and immediately clenched her hand, caged the person into his arms, and then asked.
He whispered on his eyebrows, "My father is the only one in his life, but in the end, he only gave birth to one daughter." I'm afraid I'm ...... too."
"Isn't it good to have a daughter?" Yuan Ziqing interrupted her, "I just want a daughter. If so, isn't that just what you want? β
"Don't tease me at this point." "It's not that I don't believe you like girls. But what about Daddy? What about grandmothers? You are the eldest son, and you are the son of the world, and you will inherit the family business in the future, if you don't even have a son to inherit the lineage, what will they think of me? β
"You're overthinking. In fact, if we really only have daughters and no sons, things are much simpler. "Yuanzi Qingdao.
Looking at him with wide eyes, Yuan Ziqing couldn't help but be a little funny, but when she thought of her thoughts, she felt pity in her heart. He said, "You think, what the emperor was taboo about was that King Fu's mansion was powerful and difficult to contain in the future." But if I only have daughters and no sons, wouldn't there be no problems? You don't have to worry anymore. Maybe the emperor will feel guilty and compensate us in turn. β
"But after all, ......" biting his lip at the side of his eyebrows, he still felt that it was inappropriate.
Yuan Ziqing didn't allow her to think nonsense anymore, "Meibian, you are Yuan Ziqing's wife, you only need to worry about my thoughts." As for my father and grandmother, I naturally have to deal with it. Why should you worry? If I can't even solve these little things, I don't deserve to be by your side. β
"Qinglang ......" was moved by his eyebrows, although Yuan Ziqing found so many reasons, but the inheritance of the family is an iron law engraved into the bone marrow from ancient times to the present. He was able to say such things for himself, and it was evident from his heart.
Maybe he didn't necessarily want a son, but just for his own peace of mind, he found many reasons.
The words that Princess Fu said during the day, the pressure on herself seemed to disappear in this instant. For Yuan Ziqing, his eyebrows are full of trust. There are only things he is unwilling to do, as long as he wants to, no kind of problem can bother him.
Yuan Ziqing held her hand. Anyway, at this time, twilight β‘β‘ coming, there was no one else around, and the people who followed them were also far behind, and they couldn't see their movements clearly when they were far away, so he was quite unscrupulous.
"Is the lady very moved? So what are you going to use to repay your husband? He asked in a low voice.
The emotion that had just been brewing on the side of the eyebrows disappeared again. She glanced at Yuan Ziqing, "These are just what you should do, why are you embarrassed to ask me in return?" β
"That's right." Yuan Ziqing nodded and said, "Then say something that you shouldn't do for your husband." β
"What did you do?"
"When you go back to the Hidden Bamboo Garden, you will naturally know." Yuan Ziqing said in a very good mood.
When I returned to the courtyard, I was really taken aback. Guy Yuan Ziqing handed her a letter from Qu Kuan!
"Uncle Shi's letter, how did it get to you?" There was some confusion on the side of his eyebrows.
Yuan Ziqing explained. It turned out that since he came back last year, after Yuan Ziqing sent the Queen Mother's pulse case for advice, he kept in touch with Qu Kuan. -- But keeping in touch with each other is worth two or three letters so far, because it takes a lot of time. I don't have to make people run around for this.
The first two discussions were about the Queen Mother's condition, and Qu Kuan prescribed a prescription, and the Queen Mother was cured after using it. After that, Yuan Ziqing asked for some medical advice, so he didn't tell him. This time, Qu Kuan specially wrote a letter to her, so Yuan Ziqing sent it over.
"The son of the world hides it from me so hard." He looked at him reproachfully, "Since you have a connection with Uncle Shi, you should have sued me earlier." If the content of the letter is inconvenient for me to read, will I still force it? If Uncle Shi doesn't write to me, doesn't the prince plan to hide it from me for the rest of my life? β
"What are these words?" Yuan Ziqing was very wronged, "In the last letter I went to, I mentioned our wedding date and invited Uncle Shi to come over to participate. I wonder if he comes, won't he just make you happy? It's boring to say it in advance. Who would have thought that even if it was such a big event, he still refused to come, and only asked someone to send a letter. β
Hearing this, he also sighed, "Uncle Shi seems to be very repulsive to the capital. It's also strange to say that Xijing is also a stay, and he lives there very well. β
"The families of the powerful all live in the capital. There are mostly courtiers in Xijing who are unwilling or go to support the elderly, and I think this is because of this. Yuan Ziqing said, "He won't say, and it's not easy for us to inquire." It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will be rare to meet in the future. β
At this time, Meibian had already opened the letter with a knife, took it out and said to Yuan Ziqing while reading it, "Who said no, Uncle Shi has no one to take care of him, it's really reassuring......"
Speaking of this, there was a sudden pause, and the rest of the words were all cut off.
Yuan Ziqing saw her staring at the letter, so she asked, "What did you say?" β
Meibian handed him the letter, looking lonely. Yuan Ziqing looked down and realized that this was actually a letter of farewell. Qu Kuan said that he himself couldn't sit still, and he still wanted to travel everywhere and go wherever he went.
In fact, he has been like this all these years, twelve months a year, but ten months outside, wherever he goes, he lives wherever he goes, and sometimes he doesn't see anyone for several years, which is also a common thing. They are still lucky, he feels that his body has been regressing in the past few years, and he can't stand the toss anymore, so he returned to Xijing to settle down. If I had gone earlier, I might not have been able to see anyone.
It is also because of this that Meibian's parents passed away, and he did not appear.
However, since using the ginseng given by the eyebrows, Qu Kuan suddenly felt that he seemed to be rejuvenated, as if he had returned to his youth, so he naturally couldn't sit still anymore and decided to still wander around.
It's really hard to meet in the future.
"Forget it." After a while, he said with his eyebrows on his side, "Uncle Shi was originally the character of an idle cloud and wild crane, and he couldn't force it." He was happy to be happy. β
It's just that his expression is still silent, and he obviously doesn't take this matter seriously.
On the contrary, it was Yuan Ziqing himself, after the initial stunned, who had completely accepted it. Because of his past experiences, most of his thoughts about the things in this world are as they come, and he can't force them. Even if it is forced, it is a twisted melon that is not sweet.
The only insistence in his life was spent on his eyebrows, and he became more and more open to other things.
β¦β¦
The person from the Fu Wangfu mentioned the third prince, and it didn't take long for Meibian to see him in the palace. is still in the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace, and the eyebrows are followed by Princess Fu, and several princes come to greet each other.
Such an occasion should have been avoided, but the Queen Mother spoke, saying that they were all relatives of the family, and they should always meet and recognize their faces, so as not to meet them elsewhere in the future, but they would not recognize people.
Because the elders were present, it was reasonable to see each other. So Meibian saw the emperor's first five sons at one time.
The crown prince's appearance was somewhat unexpected. In her imagination, the prince who loves beauty and does nothing, even if he is not full of brains, I am afraid that he is not much better, at least he can't get rid of words such as obscene and frivolous eyes.
However, the person standing in front of him was seven feet tall and dignified, and he could fully support the identity of the prince.
It's just that an uncomfortable light flashes in his eyes from time to time, and there is a green shadow under his eyes, which still reveals his roots. But I don't know the previous situation, and if I look closely, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it. After all, camouflage has always been a necessary survival skill for the crown prince.
On the contrary, although the third prince is young, he is extremely calm. Although it may seem overly stereotyped, it is better than frivolous. He straightened his back and sat quietly listening to everyone, not interjecting from beginning to end.
There is no edge at all, who would have thought that this is the king who was determined to reform and almost changed Da Chu more than ten years later?
Meibian had a very good impression of the third prince Yuan Ke, and he couldn't help but mention it to Yuan Ziqing after returning home. Yuan Ziqing said, "Those are just appearances, if you have seen his words and articles, you will know how much ambition he has in his heart." Such a person can really afford to be a country. β
Otherwise, no matter how much Fuwangfu had anything to do with him, he would never decide to stand on his side so lightly.
After a few more days, the court and the central government were still arguing about the affairs of Haizhou, and seeing that the fire was almost over, Yuan Zifang stood up under the instruction of King Fu, saying that he was about to get married, and he was more willing to stay in the capital Yunyun, and asked the court to send someone to take over the customs.
has been insinuating and saying cool things about this matter, implying that the Fuwangfu is holding on to the customs and not letting go, and the people who have other thoughts are suddenly like ducks who have been choked by the neck, and they don't say a word. And some people who support Fuwangfu insist that the customs is now grass-created, and Yuan Zifang is more familiar with it, and if he leaves rashly, I am afraid it will cause a bad impact. Maybe this freshly erected shelf will fall apart.
The emperor inevitably asked what King Fu meant. King Fu said that the imperial court could send a more weighty person over, so that even if Yuan Zifang left, the impact must not be great.
As long as everyone sees the determination of the imperial court in this matter, they will naturally not hesitate, but seize the time to invest. In such a virtuous circle, the customs will be able to balance it in a year or two.
However, when the emperor asked about the candidate, King Fu remained silent.
The emperor did not take responsibility, after all, his son had just come down from this position, and he had to help others up, even if King Fu himself had such a measure, he still had to worry about others splashing sewage, saying that he recommended his own people.
But when it comes to this, even if King Fu doesn't arrange it in advance, there will naturally be smart people who want to go to the prince. ββA person who is more weighty and more prominent than Yuan Zifang, the son of the prince, looking at the entire Great Chu, how many people are there?
So this construction was logically proposed. And everyone's reason is very good: the princes are old, and it is time to exercise, this is a good opportunity! Moreover, this kind of thing that shows the prestige of the country, if there is a prince in charge, it can naturally give more confidence to the people.
And so it was settled. As for which prince went to Haizhou, it was a matter of wrestling in private. After all, the emperor will also hesitate, at this time, whoever has more channels and connections will be more able to influence the emperor's decision-making.
It is worth mentioning that probably to compensate Yuan Zifang, so the emperor threw him into the Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guard guards the Beijing Division, and at the same time is responsible for the garrison of the entire imperial city, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and is the real "Son of Heaven Guard". At the time of the founding of the country, the combat effectiveness was still quite strong, but in recent decades, it has become the rank of the sons and daughters of the nobles. Most of the children who can't inherit the title won't go to study and test for fame, so what should I do? He was added to the Praetorian Guard, and then promoted one by one.
As for how far we can go in the end, it depends on personal creation. But as far as Mei Pan knows, there is not a single general from here, and at most he can only support the face of the imperial city with his rather bluffing appearance and figure. To put it bluntly, it's just that the imperial court has changed its way to raise these noble children.
But Yuan Ziqing himself was very satisfied with this compensation. But after two days of going with great interest, I came back like a frosted eggplant.
He came to Princess Fu to complain, and his eyebrows happened to be there, so he listened to it.
But it turned out that Yuan Zifang had always been very interested in Congrong. But the son of the prince, of course, it is impossible for Er to join the army, let alone lead the army. So now that he has this opportunity, he is naturally very happy. Before going to the Praetorian Guard, I imagined a lot of future plans.
But when he arrived at the place, he found that the military discipline was sloppy, and there was really nothing left except the faΓ§ade. Most of the nobles like him even went to order every day, and then they went home and did whatever they wanted. People who really do things have three out of ten achievements that are good.
"Isn't that still thirty percent? If you have a heart, you only associate with them. Princess Fu said.
Yuan Zifang sighed, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to, it's that people don't want to pay attention to me, and when they see me, they avoid it from afar, as if I am terrible." I can't catch up with a dead face, right? "He's also a little arrogant.
Princess Fu had no choice but to say, "I don't understand these things, ask your father and your brother at night." β
After thinking for a while, he said cautiously, "Actually, it's not difficult to understand. These people who do practical things, I'm afraid that they are always oppressed by those noble children on weekdays, and they can't play on both sides. Zifang went, and they were naturally on guard. But Zifang, can't you overcome even such a little difficulty? β
Yuan Zifang frowned, but quickly cheered up, "Sister-in-law is right!" If I go to the army in front of me, others will not obey me because I am the son of King Fu. If you just subdue them based on their status, it will be meaningless. I should let them see what I'm really capable of. β
So I cheered up again.
In the evening, he talked to Yuan Ziqing on the side of his eyebrows, and Yuan Ziqing said, "Let him go blind by himself." If there are really results, it can be regarded as a rainy day. If not, it doesn't matter. β
The Praetorian Guards have a special status, and if Yuan Zifang really gains a firm foothold, it will certainly be beneficial for them to act in the future. However, Yuan Ziqing was unwilling to put this kind of thing on his younger brother's shoulders.
The matter of Yuan Zifang is just a small episode. The matter of Haizhou was discussed until May, and it was finally finalized: the third prince Yuan Ke went to Haizhou to take over the customs affairs.
A few nights before the third prince left Beijing, a mysterious guest came to King Fu's mansion, and the brothers King Fu and Yuan Ziqing invited people to the room and talked secretly for most of the hour before the other party left. Of course, you can't go to the eyebrows on this occasion, and in fact, the ladies are not able to participate. But she still guessed the identity of the guest.
Yuan Ziqing didn't hide it from him, "I just explained the matter of Haizhou to the third prince and handed over the things in Zifang's hands to him." β
"Then the customs really has nothing to do with our family?" There is a pity on the side of the eyebrows.
Her rebirth has brought about many changes, and these changes are gradually expanding their influence, developing a completely different direction from the previous life. She couldn't say whether it was good or not, but she was inevitably worried in her heart.
Seeing this, Yuan Ziqing smiled and said, "The lady is so worried about our family, and she is very happy for her husband." Since you are so worried, I won't hide it from you, the customs matter has been handed over, but there are still our people in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. He looked at his eyebrows playfully, "You have to save enough for our daughter's dowry, don't you?" β
"What nonsense is nothing to do?" The side of the brow blushed.
Since getting married, she has found that Yuan Ziqing has become more and more comfortable in teasing her. In the past, when he was married, he was self-controlled, and although he was close to his eyebrows, he always remembered to leave room and would not really get out of control. But now that they have become relatives, they have lost that layer of scruples, but they are becoming more and more dissimilar.
But he couldn't bear to scold him. After all, sometimes she is annoyed, but more often, her heart is as sweet as his. The way husband and wife get along with each other is nothing more than this, and it is not necessary to be so clear about everything.
It's just that every time she mentions these things, Yuan Ziqing can look at ease, but she can't help but blush and heartbeat, and naturally she can't fight him.
At this moment, she was already very embarrassed, Yuan Ziqing came forward, grabbed her from behind, and then put her hands on her lower abdomen, "Maybe there's already a baby growing up here." So the lady should be careful when she speaks in the future, in case she hears it, thinking that you don't like her, isn't it bad? β
He said the same as the truth, but he remembered the days of the sunflower on his eyebrows, and it was less than half a month since the last time, how could he have a child?
She had to turn around and take a sip of Yuan Ziqing, and said, "Our family's business, does Yingyue also know?" β
Zhou Yingyue is in charge of the affairs of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, such a big business, if there is no one to take care of it, I am afraid it will be difficult to rest assured. But in this way, wouldn't Zhou Yingyue have too many things to be busy?
"I've already sent someone over there to learn from her." Yuan Ziqing said, "What does my father mean, after getting married, although Yingyue can't continue to stay in Haizhou, she still takes care of the matter, and she just sends someone to watch over there." β
That's not bad. Zhou Yingyue is now in charge of the Zhou family's business, although she did it herself, but after all, her surname is Zhou, and she can't take care of it anymore after she gets married. With her temperament, I'm afraid it's hard to sit still. It would be nice to have something to do.
In fact, the meaning of King Fu and the princess was originally to let Yuan Zifang and Zhou Yingyue simply live in Haizhou after marriage, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, even if there is something in the capital, it will not affect them. When the time comes, just like Zhou Yingyue said, buy a boat and go to sea immediately, where can you search in the vast seawater?
