Chapter 298: Entering the Cabinet
Cui Keyin said: "The eldest aunt reads history books when she is young, but do you still remember Huo Guang's old things? ”
Huo Guang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty designated the minister of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty fell ill and collapsed at the age of twenty-two, and Huo Guang established Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the new emperor. Huo Guang also appointed Liu Xun, the grandson of the deposed prince Liu Ju, as the emperor, and was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had a wife named Xu Pingjun, and the husband and wife were very affectionate. But at this time, Huo Guang was powerful, and Mrs. Huo poisoned Xu Pingjun, the queen of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, in order to make her most beloved little daughter the queen, and let her daughter become the queen as she wished.
Cui Keyin mentioned this historical event, Jiang Shi gasped and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
"The Cui family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has its own laws to act, and whether this first auxiliary is done or not will not damage the prestige of the Cui family." Cui Keyin said: "Only by being low-key and cautious and not being jealous of the emperor can you last a long time." ”
Jiang Shi was like an initiation, and saluted: "Yes, I understand. ”
Cui Zhenyi wants to compete for the position of the first assistant, in order to make the family stronger, and also for the day when the portrait is hung in the ancestral hall, and when future generations pay tribute, they will say: "The ancestor is the first assistant, and he is a minister." ”
People are just fighting for the name of the former and the back, and for the development of the family. can listen to Cui Keyin's meaning, but it is much stronger than fighting, at least it can make the family last. Besides, now that the Cui family has produced a queen, if there is one, it is possible to produce a second or even a third, such as the Lonely Family, the family has produced so many queens.
Jiang Shi figured it out all of a sudden, and his mood became relaxed. Gossip with Cui Keyin.
Cui Keyin naturally can't say that Cui Zhenyi's ability is enough, but the strain is not enough, and he can't keep up with Zhou Heng's pace, so Zhou Heng didn't let him become the first assistant. Seeing that Jiang's heart knot has been resolved, he is also happy.
Looking at the day to mid-heaven, the people from the small palace came in and saluted: "Niangniang, the emperor is waiting in Biluo Pavilion." ”
Jiang also wondered why Cui Keyin didn't give a banquet, and when he heard this, he dared to love the emperor and waited for Cui Keyin to eat, and hurriedly retired.
Cui Keyin asked Lu Ying to send her out of the palace. I came to Biluoting by myself. A round table in the pavilion. Packed with meals. Zhou Heng sat in the pavilion with Lele in his arms and taught Lele to read.
Cui Keyin motioned to the palace attendants that they didn't have to salute, and stood quietly behind watching the father and son teach one another, and the other seemed to follow suit. Slightly moist eye sockets.
Shi heard that Jiang entered the palace to see Cui Keyin. In a hurry. Thinking that Gu Wei has the skill of following the dragon, this first assistant, Zhou Heng must give it. also handed a sign into the palace.
The couple teased their son in Biluo Pavilion, and the family was happy, but they really didn't want anyone to disturb them. Cui Keyin said: "Let her come again tomorrow." ”
Zhou Heng said: "Presumably for the sake of the first assistant, I just told Gu Wei." ”
The next day, Zhou Heng really announced that Gu Wei went to the Jinshen Hall and had a secret conversation with him for an hour. When Shi entered the palace again, he was a little depressed and said: "Thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, send a few mooncakes to honor the mother, and ask the mother not to dislike it." ”
It's nearly a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Cui Keyin asked the palace people to accept it, and didn't ask her what she was going to do when she handed the sign into the palace, so she just gossiped. Shi sat down slightly and retired. Walking out of Anhua Palace, looking back, my heart was mixed.
A few days later, Zhou Heng hinted that the ministers were elected ministers to the cabinet, and everyone was excited, and they were finally going to form a cabinet.
There is naturally a process for entering the cabinet, which must first be recommended by the ministers, and then approved by the emperor. However, the first assistant must be appointed by the emperor, and no one among the ministers will say it.
After some nomination, Cui Zhenyi and Gu Wei were both on the list, Zhou Heng also approved, and both of them entered the cabinet.
When Mrs. Zhang entered the palace to see Cui Keyin, she talked about the Jiang family: "I am happy, I said that I didn't expect your eldest uncle to enter the cabinet, and I thought that the emperor would let him resign and return to Qinghe." ”
Cui Keyin hinted that Cui Zhenyi and Jiang both thought it was Zhou Heng's meaning. Zhou Heng has not been on the throne for a long time, so he must have some scruples, for the sake of Cui Keyin's face, he will let them return to Qinghe, and he will not kill them all. I didn't expect Zhou Heng to approve Cui Zhenyi to enter the cabinet, and after he was lost, he was even more happy.
At this time, the Jiang family was busy with Zhang Luo to feast the guests and celebrate Cui Zhenyi's entry into the cabinet.
Cui Keyin smiled and said, "The eldest uncle is a decent person, and he still has talents, so why can't he enter the cabinet?" ”
It's not enough to just be the first assistant. In the cabinet, only the first assistant is the first assistant, and the rest still have to be qualified. To put it mildly, it's a make-up. But this is a height that can be attained by a human minister. can enter the cabinet, he is already a minister.
"I didn't expect him to be in the cabinet." Old Madam Zhang sighed: "If your father is alive, he must have done better than him." ”
Cui Keyin was gloomy.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, everyone is busy giving gifts, and Cui Keyin also has to arrange a reward for the minister.
At this moment, Tang Tianzheng returned to Beijing. He didn't go back to Sitiao Hutong, and went directly to see Zhou Heng, and the two talked about the time of the lantern.
After Tang Tianzheng retired, Zhou Heng did not return to Anhua Palace, but was busy in the palace until the third watch.
Cui Keyin asked the imperial dining room to prepare supper, and when Zhou Heng came back, he said, "There is chicken soup stewed on the stove, do you want to eat a little?" ”
"Okay." Zhou Heng said, sat down with a robe on his robe, and said: "The Sheephorn Fort was defeated, and a small number of people were captured and surrendered to Zeng Xian, I am afraid that it will have an impact on the changes in Tatars." ”
Cui Keyin said: "This matter is in a hurry. ”
Zeng was defeated first, and the Tatar elite was wiped out, and now is the best time to conquer the Tatars. However, Zhou Heng has not been on the throne for a long time, the foundation is not stable, and Zhou Kang is eyeing him, so it is really not appropriate to take the initiative to provoke.
"I know." Zhou Heng sighed: "You have to straighten out the government before you can use troops to the outside world." ”
When the chicken soup was served, Zhou Heng took a sip, his eyes widened, and said, "This taste tastes a little familiar." ”
The taste is different from what it used to be, but it is delicious and familiar to eat.
Cui Keyin pursed her lips and smiled, "The red beans are back." ”
Hongdou gave birth to a daughter, and after the confinement, she went into the palace to wait.
"Red Beans are back? So, you have a delicious rose cake to eat again? Zhou Heng blinked his eyes and smiled: "Give me a plate, I will taste it." ”
The rose cake was served, but it was not the same taste that had been eaten in Huayue Xuan before. Zhou Heng ate three pieces in one go, remembering the old incident of chasing Cui Keyin over the wall, and his mood suddenly improved.
"I originally wanted her to enter the palace during the day, and go out of the palace to go home before the palace gate was locked. She only asks for one day off every ten years. I allowed her to carry her daughter into the palace, and allowed her to rest for three days and one day off. They are a young couple in the end, and they can't be allowed to look at each other like this. ”
Cheng Wen has become an official and is no longer just a staff member. Because of the extraordinary relationship between Hongdou and Cui Keyin, he was impeached by Yushi. (To be continued.) )
