Chapter 160: Self-Creation of Official Positions

Zhao Chongyi just laughed and didn't dare to speak, but the meaning was obvious, the emperor deserved to be his brother, and he thought about him everywhere.

Chen Wenhui raised her eyebrows and said, "I have never heard of such an official position. Besides, you are young, and you have been crowned so early, don't the imperial historians say it? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "It is normal to seal the duke. The credit I have made in the northwest is deserved. As for the imperial historians, haha, now they are all too busy to take care of themselves, and the emperor is looking for their stubble, why are there banks in the people, the Wang family, the Li family in the academy, and other places are strong, and none of the imperial historians are on the fold? ”

Chen Wenhui was even more helpless and said: "The emperor's move is really enough. All of a sudden, the mouths of those dog-like imperial histories were sealed. However, the emperor's face is also thick, isn't the Wang family of the bank and the Li family of the academy all the concubines and mothers of the emperor's harem? Don't the imperial historians really know about the affairs of these two families, but they don't dare to say it because of the emperor's face? It's really a back-and-forth. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled helplessly and said: "The affairs of the imperial court are too complicated, and it is not something that a simple-minded military attache like me can understand. We don't care about that, we're still ready to go to the northwest. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The emperor still trusts you very much. has created such an unprecedented official position for you, which is unprecedented in history. It's bold. Moreover, the vast area of the northwest, so many things, and military power, can all be handed over to you alone, isn't he afraid of our opposition? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "We rebelled for those barren lands in the northwest? Do you know why the emperor dares to give me such a big right? It's not all because I'm his friend, but more importantly, I'm married to you. You have such a great foundation in Nanyang. So rich, will we give up our Nanyang inheritance for the sake of the barren land in the northwest? ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized and said: "The emperor is really shrewd enough. Yes, indeed. Hey, it's not him. ”

Two days later, sure enough, the holy decree came down, and the world was in an uproar, and the power that had never been there, and the official position that had never been there, was born in this way.

Everyone in the world lamented the emperor's trust in his old friends, and also lamented that the power of Zhao Chongyi and his wife was overwhelming.

There was no shortage of snobbery in the imperial court. Originally. Because of Chen Wenhui's relationship, everyone has already tied up with the county lord's mansion, and now, Zhao Chongyi's power is even greater. Everybody's stammering. I've made more friends.

Time. There was a lot of traffic in front of the county lord's mansion, and those who gave congratulatory gifts and came to ask to see them. There are as many as crucian carp crossing the river. Chen Wenhui has all the files, but the gift collection is handed over to Langxue to do, the warehouse should be put in the warehouse, the return gift should be returned, and the file should be recorded.

It was a busy few days to make snow, but Chen Wenhui was not tired. She had more important things to do. It's time to go out, and the relatives in the capital are going to say goodbye again. Especially the elders. After taking a while, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went to the Chen family's mansion. I met Chen Wenhui's grandfather and uncles.

Chen Wenhui could clearly feel the jealousy of the second uncle and the second aunt Li. However, Chen Wenhui didn't care at all, this person who had assassinated her was now too far from her status, and Chen Wenhui had long since stopped taking her to heart. Another point, Chen Wenhui found that the Wang family could no longer interfere in the affairs of the big house, and all the feeds were handed over to her daughter-in-law Bai. The Bai family is worthy of being the daughter of the family, and her means are extraordinary. The politics of the big house are in order, it is very decent, and the dignity of the queen's family is also reflected. Another important thing is that my grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, and it seems that he can't last long. Chen Wenhui has no feelings for this grandfather, and she hasn't met many people in total. It's Chen Wenhui's father, and the relationship between the two elder brothers and grandfather is very good. Chen Wenhui was a little worried, if her grandfather was gone, how sad her father and brother would be.

After going to the ancestral house, Chen Wenhui also took the time to go to the eldest princess's house, visited the third aunt, and also visited the eldest aunt. In the end, seeing that she was about to leave Beijing, Chen Wenhui entered the palace, and the lobby sister and aunt in this palace were all about to leave.

Coming out of the queen's palace, when she went to the queen mother's palace, Chen Wenhui was still thinking about what the queen said, she said some instructions, also said some promises, and also said that she was hostile in the harem, Chen Wenhui coped. For this cousin, Chen Wenhui only has a relationship of interest.

When I arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, I drank tea and said some words, and the Empress Dowager said some instructions, and then, I retreated left and right, and said to Chen Wenhui: "Hui'er, is the emperor preparing to use troops against southern Xinjiang?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, although this matter is a secret now, but the Queen Mother is not an outsider, and it doesn't matter if she says it. Therefore, Chen Wenhui said: "Queen Mother, the emperor plans to take back southern Xinjiang. Not now, though, it's preparing for ten years from now. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "It is not a trivial matter to use troops against southern Xinjiang, the emperors of Great Chu, who doesn't want to defeat the barbarians and recover southern Xinjiang?" The Emperor finally defeated the barbarians. It is normal for the emperor to then recover southern Xinjiang. ”

"However, recovering southern Xinjiang is not a trivial matter, how many troops and how much food do you need? Although our Great Chu looks prosperous now, after all, after many years of war against the barbarians, the foundation has long been thinned. Although there is now some income from Shanghai City, as well as food supplies from Nanyang, it is still not enough to fight southern Xinjiang. After all, our northwest has not yet completely settled down, so you and your wife have to help him settle down in southern Xinjiang. ”

"From this point of view, our Xiao Chen family is still very useful to him, even if I go to Princess Lichuan's cousin, there should be no problem. The emperor can still use our Chen family, so he will naturally be courteous to the queen. ”

Chen Wenhui was silent, the emperor has always been such a person, women and wives are only two kinds for him, one can be used, and the other cannot be used. What can be used, he will spoil, and what cannot be used, he will abandon it.

"Ten years later, the use value of our Chen family is gone. But at that time, the eldest son of the queen should also grow up. As long as he is not too stupid, our Chen family will probably be able to develop very well. The tribal lands of the Goguryeo Peninsula must have been completely stabilized. Your brothers and sisters have also built Nanyang very well, and my Princess Lichuan's Siam can also be built very well. Surrounded by Da Chu, even if the emperor wants to do something to the queen, he has to think twice. ”

The Queen Mother did the math and said, "You husband and wife should manage the northwest for the emperor." Write to me so that I may know that you are in peace. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "This is certain. The niece thanked her aunt for her love and love. ”

After Chen Wenhui left the palace, she didn't know that the Queen Mother looked for Mama Yu and said to Mama Yu: "The life of that slut of Queen Wang is really big, we have done everything now, but we didn't kill that slut." I stayed in the palace just to find an opportunity to kill the queen and the king. However, the emperor begged me to stay with the queen for a while. What should I be for, it turned out to be to appease the Wang family. In the future, when the emperor uses troops in southern Xinjiang, he will also send troops and horses from the Wang family to help. ”

Mama Yu said, "Then how long are we going to wait?" When did the emperor use troops against southern Xinjiang? ”

The Queen Mother said: "I asked Wen Hui just now, and she said that after the northwest is stabilized, it may take ten years. ”

Mama Yu frowned and didn't make a sound.

The Queen Mother said: "Since we can't move her in ten years, then we can only wait for another ten years." Did you take care of her? Can't let her die. ”

Mama Yu said a little suspiciously: "The slave takes good care of the queen and the queen. Every day is like living in the region, but it doesn't die, I feed her supplements every day, although I suffer, but those bird's nests, ginseng and the like are not less. There was no grievance at all. ”

The Queen Mother laughed happily and said, "Okay." Yu'er, you're doing well. In this way, I want to tell the emperor that I will go to Princess Lichuan in Nanyang for a few years, and when ten years later, Southern Xinjiang is pacified, and the Wang family's land has no use value, I can kill the queen and queen, and I will come back. ”

Mama Yu said, "Niangniang, don't worry." The slave will stay. I must take care of the queen and the queen in person, and I will never let her die before the queen mother returns. ”

The Queen Mother smiled reassuringly and said, "Let's go, let's go see that slut." ”

The two of them walked slowly to the depths of the harem without taking others, and in the water prison of the cold palace, they saw the king and queen with their hair scattered, half of their bodies soaked in water, scarred all over, and no clothes. The Queen Mother smiled happily, and Queen Wang looked up at the Queen Mother and gritted her teeth, but unfortunately, her tongue was long gone. I couldn't scold anything, only a piece of silence.

Chen Wenhui didn't see these sinister and ugly monsters in the court, she seized the last time to reunite with her parents. However, now she is married after all. I still have to go to the farm with Zhao Chongyi and say goodbye to the old loyal and righteous father.

Lao Zhongyigong is very happy these days, he is also preparing, and soon, he will also set off for Nanyang. Therefore, he is especially grateful to Chen Wenhui who can make him make a comeback. Maybe he also knows that Zhao Chongyi and his wife hate Mrs. Zhao. Therefore, when Chen Wenhui was about to go to Mrs. Zhao to say goodbye according to the rules, Lao Zhongyi said kindly: "I know that your husband and wife are filial." However, your mother is sick now, and you are about to leave, so don't go to see it, because it's not good to get sick and affect the itinerary. ”

Chen Wenhui knew most about Mrs. Zhao's illness, because she had already bought some servants by Mrs. Zhao's side, and these people reported to her about Mrs. Zhao's everything.

Mrs. Zhao was sick because of Zhao Chongyi's official qi. She dealt with Zhao Chongyi's biological mother and Zhao Chongyi, in fact, from the root cause, she was afraid that one day, because of the favor of the old Zhongyi, what if Zhao Chongyi snatched away the position of her son Zhao Chongli? never expected that not only did Zhao Chongyi not snatch his brother's position, but also got the position of a national prince. is younger than when Zhao Chongli was the prince of the country, can this not make Mrs. Zhao angry?

Chen Wenhui and his wife happily did not visit. When they returned, it was time for them to leave. The future of life in the Northwest awaits them. (To be continued......)
