In the end, the Empress Taishang is the Empress Taishang, a woman who can sit firmly beside the Emperor Taishang, and finally ascend to the throne of the Empress Taishang, where will it be a simple goods? Even if the current queen has been sitting on the throne of the mother of the country for more than ten years, in terms of aura, she is still more than a step behind the queen of the queen.

I saw Empress Taishang sitting on the main seat, holding Princess Changle's hand and saying: "Changle has a saying, with the palace (the emperor is still here, even if it is Queen Taishang, she can only be called the palace, not the mourning family.) Even if it is the Empress Taishang, it is disrespectful to call herself a mourner when the Emperor Taishang is still alive. Because the mourning family is for the surviving people, that is, the queen mother and the queen mother who became widows. coincides. As a royal person, enjoying the honor of the royal family, you should take on the responsibility of the royal family. This is the same whether it is a princess or a concubine. ”

All the princesses and concubines, including the queen, saluted the queen and expressed their approval and obedience to the queen.

Empress Taishang said: "There are some things that this palace said many years ago, as a royal family of Great Qi, we can be good if Great Qi is good." Of course, the same is true as a courtier of Great Qi. There are some things that hinder the rules of the harem not to interfere with the government, and the palace can't say anything. However, when you look back, our soldiers of Daqi are protecting us with their lives, and what is the result? starving and cold, let alone marrying a daughter-in-law, even the old sons and daughters who support the family have no money and food. The result? There are people in this court who have pity on the enemy, and they are not distressed when they take other people's daughters and the money from the treasury. I'm going to put my words here today. If anyone is talking about peace and kissing, this palace will be in the name of offending this palace. Let him, along with his daughters and granddaughters, be daughters-in-law to the soldiers! Anyway, there are few women at the border. It is not unacceptable for soldiers to give each other's lives, wives or something. ”

As soon as Empress Taishang said this, the women in the tent trembled, especially Princess Beijing, who shrank back.

Princess Beijing knew very well that Empress Taishang's words were meant for a few of her own people. Because he who recalls the matter of peace and affection. There are a few of them.

Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, even the emperor has changed four people, and the four kings and eight princes are naturally not as glorious as they were back then. Especially after the defeat of the king of Nan'an County this time. It made the situation of the four kings and eight princes even worse.

Among them, the Jia family is an exception. Jia Yu had already broken through the door twelve years ago and split the sect. Not only did he divide the sect, but he didn't even want the connections left by Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan. and the rest of the four kings and eight princes broke off contact.

Jia Amnesty's title at the time. Because the emperor was merciful, he was still a first-class general, but the main hall and main gate of the family had been changed, and the Rongguo Mansion after Jia Yu took charge of the house was no longer the Rongguo Mansion of the year, but only one of the many first-class generals' mansions in Beijing. It's just that Jia Yu's luck is so good, he was thrown out of the capital, thrown to the border, and survived well. not only kept the guard, but also rescued Princess Changle.

So. The current Rongguo Marquis Mansion, although it has risen again, is no longer a member of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

Even if Jia Yu was later promoted to the title, but the personality of his dead house, except for his father-in-law's family and his brother-in-law's family, no one else recognized it, even if Jia Zheng still lived in the mansion of the Marquis of Rongguo, even if the connection between Jia Zheng and the four kings and eight princes was never broken, but everyone with eyes in the Jingshi knew that Jia Yu was Jia Yu, Jia Zheng was Jia Zheng, and those who were connected with the four kings and eight princes were always the younger brother Jia Zheng, not the elder brother Jia Yu.

Later, Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, Jia Zheng moved out, and the four kings and eight princes, except for Ning Guofu, had more and more nothing to do with Jia Yu. When Jia Jing and Mrs. Jia Zhengwang passed away one after another, Jia Yu became more and more with the four kings and eight dukes, no, at this time, it should be said that the four kings and six dukes are right. In the past two years, Jia Yu's relationship with the four kings and six dukes has become more and more distant.

In this, Ning Guofu also took advantage of Jia Yu. After Jia Jing came back, he first disciplined his son strictly and cleaned up his son's fox friends and dogs. When Jia Zhen was in charge, the rest of the Four Kings and Eight Princes coaxed Jia Zhen to mess around, but as soon as Jia Jing came back, he found that something was wrong, Jia Zhen was grounded, but he was also annoyed by the people who were coaxing Jia Zhen behind his back, so he was naturally far away from the rest of the Four Kings and Eight Princes. Later, Jia Zhen died, Ning Guofu began to close the door, and when Jia Zhen's mourning passed, Jia Jingren felt uncomfortable again, and then Jia Jing died.

Jia Rong kept filial piety one after another, and when she was filial, she followed her grandfather's testament and asked the court to take back Ning Guofu.

After all, Ning Guofu is an official residence, and Jia Jing's title is the last to Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong is just a five-rank dragon forbidden lieutenant.

No, the Emperor Taishang still remembered Jia Rong and Qin Keqing, although he took back the signboard and meritorious field of Ning Guofu, but the big mansion was rewarded to Jia Rong. Therefore, the current Dongfu is no longer the Ningguo Mansion, but a very ordinary plaque, and there are only two words on the plaque: Jia Zhai.

Jia Rong also took advantage of this series of filial piety to cut off contacts with the four kings and six princesses, and now she only follows Jia Yu around, but she doesn't care about anything else. Even if Qin Keqing has a heart, but Jia Rong is the gatekeeper, Qin Keqing can't get started at all except for managing the affairs of the inner house and assisting Jia Rong in managing the affairs of the clan.

What's more, after Jia Rong returned the meritorious Tian, the imperial court also set its sights on the power and meritorious Tian in the hands of the four kings and six dukes.

After all, Ning Guofu was not the first knighthood in the Eight Kilometers of Four Kings. But Jia Rong was the first to hand over the hero Tian. This is also the reason why the emperor did not raise any objections to the fact that the emperor gave the original Ningguo Mansion to Jia Rong.

Because the emperor hoped that the rest of the four kings and eight dukes would follow Jia Rong's example and return the meritorious fields to the country.

The four kings and eight princes, not the four kings and six princes, are all the same as the Jia family, paying attention to food and clothing, but there is not much way to get money. Among the four kings with different surnames, the current King Beijing is the youngest, but he has been following the emperor's baton for many years. But Princess Beijing is not. In any case, Princess Beijing is also the maiden cousin of Princess Zhongshun. Many times, knowing that her husband doesn't like to hook up with King Zhongshun, but in order to stabilize her position, Princess Beijing still has to rely on the power of her mother's family.

Who made Princess Beijing not give birth to a son until now?

King Beijing also has many concubines. Some are secretly looking for trouble for Princess Beijing, but it's not once or twice.

In the eyes of Princess Beijing, the four kings and eight princes were originally old friends. It is also a community of interests, and in the court, it should advance and retreat together. But who would have thought that Jia Jiarong's Mansion and Ning Guofu would actually withdraw from the community of interests of the Four Kings and Eight Princes?

Ning Guofu is also forgotten, except for Qin Keqing, who doesn't know if he is the daughter of Prince Lao Yizhong, there is nothing left. But Rongguofu is not. The current Rongguo Marquis Mansion. Through the relationship between the Zhang family and the Lin family, he successfully got into a relationship with the Qing school, and even took advantage of the marriage of his two granddaughters. strengthened the connection with the real power faction like Liang Chengxiang. What's more, behind the Marquis Rongguo's mansion, there are still the Yan family and the Daomen of the Confucian sect faintly!

What a behemoth Confucianism is, and what a behemoth Taoism is. Don't talk about the men outside. Even a woman like Princess Beijing knows it very well.

The more they knew the power behind the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, the more the Four Kings and Six Dukes group could not tolerate Jia Yu to break away from their group.

This is the purpose of their peace offer.

They also knew that the possibility of harmony was very small, and they just hoped to use this to create the illusion that Jia Jiu wanted to be reconciled, and then scare Jia Yu. If Jia Yu can return to their group, it will naturally be the best. If they can't, they can still wait for the opportunity.

But Princess Beijing herself didn't expect that the Nan'an Palace, one of the four kings and six dukes, made a mistake first, so that the boss seized the opportunity. Cut the knight. Jia Jiu followed Princess Changle on his side, so they couldn't find a chance at all. Right now. They had just delivered the news to Honglu Temple, and as a result, Empress Taishang actually made a public statement.

No one would think that the Emperor Taishang regretted saying this for no reason.

Empress Taishang's prudence is well known. If he hadn't been cautious, he wouldn't have come to this day and become today's adoptive mother, let alone the Empress Taishang.

Everyone present was sure that Empress Taishang would say this, afraid that the Empress Taishang had hinted at something.

Although the Emperor Taishang dotes on those little concubines and beauties, he has great respect for the Queen Taishang. And many times, the attitude of the Empress Taishang can indeed represent the attitude of the Emperor.

When Princess Zhongshun heard Empress Taishang say this, she could only say embarrassedly: "The queen mother is laughing." ”

Empress Taishang glanced at him coldly and said, "It's good if you know it in your heart." ”

Princess Zhongshun immediately lowered her head, not daring to say more.

Although it is said that Empress Taishang ascended to the throne of the queen because of today, since he is the Empress Taishang, he is the wife of the Emperor Taishang and the mother of King Zhongshun. Even if the loyal princess is arrogant and looks down on the queen, she will not dare to be presumptuous to the queen.

Empress Taishang talked to Princess Changle, the Queen, and the Eldest Princess of Jiashan one after another, and was concerned about the recent life of the eldest princess of Lanling, so she called Jia Jiu to her, looked at it carefully, and said, "This child is so tender and tender." If he wasn't careful, he would have been only thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

The queen hurriedly smiled and said: "Look at what the queen mother said, and ask the daughter-in-law to say that this child is not much different from when the daughter-in-law first saw him." ”

Empress Taishang smiled: "The first time you saw him? When was that? By the way, at that time, this child was only eight years old, right? Where is he so small? ”

The queen said: "That's not the case. If you don't look at the height or size, the daughter-in-law can really say that this child has not changed at all over the years. ”

Empress Taishang said: "No, from suing for his father before, to going to the battlefield for his father, and now, for mourning." In order to take care of his grandmother, he put himself in danger again and again, and put himself on the cusp of the storm again and again. It's just that some people can't see the child's filial piety, but they are vigorously arranging what they don't have. That kind of person, Hongu is disgusted when he sees it. ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's the Empress Taishang who lifts the courtiers." The courtiers just follow their duties, where is there as great as the Empress Taishang said. ”

"What a duty. It's a pity that there are not many people in this world who know their duties. Empress Taishang asked her grandmother to help Jia Jiu up, and said: "Some people enjoy brocade clothes and jade food, enjoy glory and wealth, but they don't want to think about how these things came about." I don't know if I cherish the blessings, forget it, and toss hard......"

The eldest princess Duanrong, who was sitting below, became more and more angry the more she listened.

He felt that Empress Taishang's words were talking about him, and couldn't help but say, "Queen Mother, are you talking about your daughter?" ”

The tent was quiet all of a sudden, and even if a needle dropped, I was afraid that I could hear it.

The eldest princess of Duan Rong stood straight, facing the Empress Taishang, her eyes as if there were two fires burning: "Queen Mother, are you counting the sons and daughters?" ”

Empress Taishang said: "Duan Rong, when you say this, think about it first, what have you done yourself." ”

Princess Duanrong smiled slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on her carefully groomed face: "Queen Mother, have you forgotten that Erchen, like Changle, is also a princess." It's a pity that Erchen didn't have the luck of Changle's child back then. There is no one in the court to help the retainers speak, and most of the people in the inner court are watching the jokes of the retainers, not to mention that someone has traveled thousands of miles to break into the vast prairie for the retainer and bring the retainer back......"

"Are you complaining about this palace?"

The eldest princess of Duanrong said: "Queen Mother, the sons don't dare. Erchen is just feeling, and the same person is not the same life. After speaking, Princess Duanrong saluted and walked out.

There were so many people in the tent that none of them dared to stop them.

After the eldest princess Duanrong walked out, she heard the eldest princess of Lanling say, "When did Sister Duanrong come in?" How can you sit in the corner? ”

Everyone was stunned.

The palace maid who was guarding the door and opened the curtain hurriedly knelt down: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the princesses, Princess Duanrong came in behind the Empress Dowager." After coming in, he sat in the corner, not the slave and the maid deliberately neglected. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs inside the tent knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Princess Duanrong is the queen's sister-in-law, and if she neglects her sister-in-law, the queen can only follow and plead guilty. Seeing that the queen also knelt down, everyone knelt down in hula.

Empress Taishang thought for a while and said, "Fang Cai Duanrong is not in the palace. Yes, he must have followed behind Hongu halfway, which makes you think that he came with Hongu. Queen, it's not your fault. ’

Having said that, the queen still respectfully saluted the queen before getting up. (To be continued......)
