Chapter 148: Becoming an Official
The queen mother's family is only a five-grade petty official, and in this deep palace, she can already be regarded as an ordinary family.
But Bento is really the woman in the market, living in this Forbidden City for decades, and along the way, being a queen and queen mother, her mind will not be simple.
She was able to say things like seeking a reward for the prince's sworn brother, which was also well thought out.
In this palace, it is not like the palace fighting dramas of later generations, every step is frightening, but every word and deed is considered.
Although the old lady is often considered to be shallow and uninformed, she has to be favored by the emperor first, commanding the harem, and the son she gave birth to also became the emperor.
How could such a person, begging for Han Chen's seal, just for that bit of money?
The Queen Mother acted like this, but she felt that the royal family was severely suppressed and lacked foreign aid.
Looking at history, if you really think that if you are an emperor, you can do whatever you want, you can only say that you are naïve.
Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and his courtiers has been one of either the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind.
In the two hundred years since the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the civil ministers were powerful, the military generals were broken early, and the nobles were burned out, so they could only huddle together to keep warm.
His emperor's son is a bad man who has been taught by civil officials since he was a child, and he only knows how to rule by hanging the arch, and now, the use of the palace can't let go of his hands and feet everywhere, and the queen mother sees it in her eyes and is anxious.
As for relatives, they can't be counted on.
It has always been the rule of the dynasty, the emperor chooses a concubine, especially after the establishment, he must choose an innocent official who has little power in his mother's family.
Most of them are from the four or five grades of their fathers and brothers, and what they are afraid of is that their relatives will interfere in politics and mess up the program.
But right now, the palace can't even find a single foreign aid to balance the powerful civil and official group, and I don't know what to do.
Such considerations naturally cannot be declared, but the emperor has a tacit understanding.
Just because he ruled again, he was also an emperor and had his own demands.
In this world, everything is not under his control, what is the meaning of what the emperor is doing?
Han Chen's appearance can only be said to be an opportune time, which can be regarded as an attempt by the imperial power, and no one knows what changes can be made, just as a move.
If this second brother Han really has some means, even if he cultivates a powerful nobleman, it doesn't matter, because he is a rootless duckweed, but all the gains come from the imperial power.
This idea coincides with the emperor, and he agreed with a smile at the moment, but how to raise Second Brother Han needs to be carefully considered.
After selling all kinds of rare things, Chen Houzhao and Chen Xiaoxianggong left Cining Palace with their father and queen mother, but they were taken directly to his father's palace.
That's the rhythm of the ledger.
Chen Xiaoxianggong raised his head and held his chest high, with a heroic and righteous demeanor, anyway, the prince's goal has been achieved, if you want to kill your father, you will kill your father at will, anyway, you are such a son as me!
When she arrived at the dormitory, the queen retreated with Xiurong, and gave her baby son a sad look before leaving, the meaning was very clear, you should admit it, don't make your father angry.
"Tell me, should I beat you up, or should I let you study behind closed doors?"
Emperor Hongzhi's face was relaxed, he couldn't see his anger, and there was a lot of ridicule in his tone, "I went to the south and brought back such a rare thing, I really have a long ability!" ”
Chen Houzhao listened, and his heart was relieved, there is a door!
"What did my father say? Children have always had the ability to make good friends, so naturally there will be such results. ”
The hippie smile on his face was full of flattery, "Erchen also brought back other good things for his father, but there were too many people just now, so it was inconvenient to take them out." ”
Emperor Hongzhi was immediately surprised, "What's a good thing?" Even have to hide it, what kind of system! ”
At that moment, Chen Houzhao took out a pile of good jade rice paper from his bulging arms, held it in both hands, and placed it on the emperor's desk in a proper manner.
Emperor Hongzhi opened it with doubts, but it was a manuscript of "The Words of the Golden Vase Plum......
"Erchen's second brother, although the poetry is good, but he is the best at speaking, this "Golden Vase Plum Words" is written in the world, and the Luoyang paper sold in the south is expensive, and the Erchen thinks about it, and takes it back to relieve his father's boredom in his spare time......"
Bastard thing!
I don't know if this book is well written? And use you rebel!
Hey? The manuscript is finished!
Didn't Xin Xintang say that the fake idiot Taoist strives for perfection, and the script is slow and meticulous, and it has not been finished yet?
Why is there an end version here?
Ah, that bookstore actually deceived the world!
At the moment, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly angry, but he also understood that the bookstore was just a commercial means, and he couldn't take it seriously, and he didn't notice it for a while and was fooled!
I flipped to the back and found that I had read those passages, and I was sure that they were exactly the same, so I threw them on my desk and didn't look at them.
"Father, the son also brought back a lot of wine, the father is busy with the government on weekdays, and a drink when he is tired can also relieve fatigue."
Chen Houzhao's eyes blinked, knowing that he had given the right gift, and it was not in vain that Xiao Deng Zi was lying on the roof of the big car and copying frantically.
"I am rich in the world, what kind of wine is not? Do you still need your to make sacrifices? ”
Hey, rich in the world, I have to deceive those who don't know, let's talk behind closed doors, what are you doing all this useless?
"The wine brewed by the second brother of the son is different from the side, it is very clear and strong, and it is not allowed to drink it unless you are a husband!"
"Take it and see."
The waiter around him carefully took the high-grade wine produced in Dawangzhuang, carefully patted the mud seal, and suddenly the whole study was full of wine.
It's good wine!
Although Emperor Hongzhi was educated by the ministers to be a humble gentleman since he was a child, he was good at drinking, and immediately let people present it, took a sip, and was immediately shocked!
Clear, hot, into the throat like a line of fire, a small cup of drinking, the body is slightly hot, in the north, it is really a good thing!
"Why is it that you, this cunning man, inside and outside your words, are all your second brother, and you have never listened to ask for a reward for your eldest brother?"
As soon as his father's words came out, Chen Houzhao understood that his little abacus had been seen through.
At the moment, no longer hide it, talk eloquently.
"Erchen's eldest brother is arrogant, he has scolded all the world's scholars, such a madman is more useful in the field than in the court, but the second brother of Erchen is different, he has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, especially for maritime ......"
The father and son have been talking deeply about the time of the lamp.
Emperor Hongzhi never thought that when he went out, he often saw that his son, who couldn't even hold what he could say, would be able to talk eloquently in front of him, and what he said was quite insightful and thought-provoking.
At the moment, there is a final decision in my heart.
Early the next morning, the emperor made Shang Shufang draft a decree to reward the fiancé of Chu Yunxi, the princess of the Chu family, the prince of Yueguo, and added the official position of the Zuo Du Governor of the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Mansion to the title of Marquis of Jinghai to preside over the suppression of Japanese affairs.
