Chapter 977: The Queen Mother is enlightened

"You want me to scramble?" Lonely and stunned.

Dou Yi brushed his beard and said: "Last time you were a little bit close, this time it is two places, I think you have a lot of hope, why don't you fight for it?" ”

Du Lonely Qiu was silent for a while, and Dou Yi persuaded again: "Our Guan Long family is declining more and more, if we don't have a little status in the imperial court, we will be completely reduced to a commercial group, and become a fish and meat to be slaughtered by others, this is not good, although we have no ambition, but our own interests should also be fully protected, brother Xian, the hope of all of us is pinned on you." ”

Dugu Qiu sighed and said: "To be honest, I am really not interested in officialdom, on the contrary, I am very interested in various industries now, especially shipbuilding and shipping, I am also going to go to Hekou Port with Liu Dongshang in a few days, and now you are asking me to compete for ........."

"Brother Dugu, it's not that I ask you to compete, but the requirements of our entire Guanlong family, you have to think about it carefully."

After speaking, Dou Yi put a roster on the table and pushed it to Du Gu Qiu, who glanced at it, and on it were the signatures of the seventeen family heads, asking him to compete.

"I initiated this matter, not to hide it from you, in fact, your Dugu family also supports it."

Dou Yi pointed to the end, Dugu Qiu saw that there were signatures of his two brothers, Dugu Changqiu and Dugu Dashi, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, these guys really refuse to give up, thinking that Xiangguo is so contentious?

"Alright! I'll give it a try, but I don't think there's much hope, don't put your hopes too high, and then the disappointment will be too great. ”

Dugu Qiu vaguely agreed, he knew that the possibility of his entry into the phase was not great, but as a way to appease the Guan Long family, it didn't hurt to agree.

Dou Yi was overjoyed, "Since Brother Xian agreed, we can move behind our backs." ”

Du Isolate Qiu was startled, and hurriedly stopped, "Don't do any activities, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin knows, it will only backfire, but will be wary of the Guan Long family, and all our previous efforts have been in vain." ”

Dou Yi is right to think about it, they have made a lot of efforts to make the King of Jin believe that the Guan Long family has turned to industry, and if the King of Jin finds out that they are not dead to politics, I am afraid that they will face all kinds of suppression.

He nodded, "I see, then we won't move anything, and everything will be up to you." ”

"I'll do my best!" Du Isoqiu said this, without a little confidence.

King Jin hopes that he will lead the Guan Long family to turn to industry with all his might, and now is the critical moment of transformation, how can he be allowed to enter the phase?

.........

The queen mother has been staying in Daming Palace for three days, everything in Daming Palace is so familiar, and even when she left in a hurry, she left a pair of shoes and was still in place, but Daming Palace made her feel so strange, her husband was gone, her children and grandchildren were gone, and the hundred officials disappeared, leaving only an empty palace room and a few palace maids and eunuchs, and even she felt an inexplicable fear when she was used to court life.

After living in the Daming Palace for three days, the Queen Mother was going to despair.

In the afternoon, Ying Caihe entered the Daming Palace and escorted the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor back to Chang'an, and her mission was over, but she still couldn't let go of the Little Emperor Li Wen, she had no marriage and no children, but the Little Emperor Li Wen gave birth to a kind of motherhood in her heart that she had never had.

"Miss Ying, you are ......"

The Queen Mother was really shocked, Ying Caihe turned out to be dressed as a Taoist aunt, wearing a gossip golden purple feather robe, wearing a hibiscus crown, and holding a white jade whisk in her hand, especially the golden purple feather coat and hibiscus crown, which are the identity symbols of the heavenly master.

Ying Caihe smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, when I return to Chang'an, I won't be Ying Caihe, poor Dao Qinglian, the thirteenth palace master of Yuzhen Palace." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "It turned out to be Yuzhen Palace, I used to go there often, and now there are many young Taoist priests in Yuzhen Palace?" ”

"There are three hundred and fifty-two, and more than five thousand friars."

The female monk is a lay female disciple who believes in Taoism, and the queen mother's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "Who are the female monks?" ”

"There are everyone, the families of officials, the daughters of powerful people, the wives of merchants, and the women of poor families, as long as they believe in the Three Qings, they can become the female monks of the Yuzhen Palace."

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, and Ying Caihe asked again: "How is the little one?" Adapting to this? ”

"He adapts to everything, as long as he is given a wooden block, he doesn't have any worries."

The queen mother gave the palace maid next to her a look, and the palace maid understood, and went to the back to hold the child.

The Queen Mother said slowly: "In the past, I offered sesame oil to both the Xuandu Temple and the Yuzhen Palace, but I am not a monk, I want to know, can ordinary monks practice in the Yuzhen Palace?" ”

"Of course you can, there have been many precedents, Princess Yuzhen in the Tianbao period was originally practiced in the Yuzhen Palace as a female monk, and then officially became a monk, and Princess Peng was also a monk in the Yuzhen Palace, she also lived in the Yuzhen Palace as a monk for three years, and only officially became a monk last year."

The Queen Mother bit her lip and said, "Do you think I can?" ”

Ying Caihe was stunned, "What can be?" Living in Yuzhen Palace as a monk? ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "I really can't live here, I can't sleep every night, I'm trembling with fear, I have nothing left, I just want to recuperate in peace, but here I can't be quiet." ”

"This ......"

Ying Caihe was a little embarrassed, after all, the other party was the queen mother, the nominal supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and it was really difficult for him to make decisions for her.

"This is a decision that can only be made by King Jin, and it is useless for the Queen Mother to ask me."

"You help me talk to King Jin, I can give him all the seals, if you need to attend any ceremony, I can attend, but I don't want to live in Daming Palace anymore."

The queen mother had already guessed the special relationship between Ying Caihe and the King of Jin, and she had a good relationship with Ying Caihe, so she could only beg Ying Caihe at this time.

At this time, the queen mother has a full understanding, not so much that she is still a little false in the role of the queen mother, it is better to say that her queen mother's seal has a role, as long as the king of Jin gets her queen mother's seal, it doesn't matter if she is not there, at most she will show her face in the New Year.

The eunuch party also asked her from time to time to issue edicts, and she also obeyed them, and when she came to the king of Jin, she didn't even have any interest in listening to state affairs, since it was all a formality, it was better to hand over the queen mother's seal directly to the king of Jin.

Ying Caihe thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's just a different place to live, I don't think it's a big problem, I can help you talk about it, but what about the little emperor?" ”

"He can live anywhere, as long as he is safe, it is not impossible for him to live in Yuzhen Palace, or live in Xingqing Palace, closer to King Jin."

It's not okay to live in Xingqing Palace, Ying Caihe promised Xue Tao, she will never step into Xingqing Palace, it's not bad to live in Yuzhen Palace, she can see the child at any time.

"Now I don't know, so let's do it! When King Jin returns, I will find an opportunity to talk to him and try to convince him. ”

At this time, a middle-aged palace maid came over with the little emperor Li Wen, Li Wen saw Ying Caihe, suddenly threw away the wooden block in his hand, opened his arms and asked her to hug her, Ying Caihe suddenly smiled, and hugged Li Wen into his arms.

.........

Five days later, Guo Song led the army to return triumphantly, the army held a triumphant ceremony to enter the city, the soldiers were warmly welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people, and the people of Chang'an were crowded on both sides of Suzaku Street, warmly cheering the triumph of the soldiers.

This triumphal ceremony is very important, it is a spiritual reward, even no less than a material reward, it gives the soldiers a supreme sense of honor, even in old age, he can tell his grandsons around his knees about the glory of the triumphant entry into the city.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Guo Song was closely guarded by his own soldiers, but when his banner appeared, he still cheered like thunder, and the people were so excited that they raised their arms and shouted, this is their monarch, the king who brought them peace and abundant food and clothing, any Tang emperor became pale and powerless at this moment, and only His Royal Highness the King of Jin was the son of heaven in their hearts.

Guo Song rode on the horse, surrounded by deafening cheers, but he was thinking about the construction of the new court, some ministers in the old court he should continue to use, the imperial history platform to be established, although the political platform has a part of the functions of the imperial history platform, but the political platform also has the function of supervising the army and reviewing the prison, these must be separated, in addition to the establishment of the platform, the imperial history platform and the platform, one to the bottom, one to the top.

The official system before the Jin State was established by Yan Zhenqing, and the basis for the establishment of the official system was that there were only the Hexi Corridor and Longyou at that time, so the ministry and temple were merged, one official had multiple positions, and the personnel were minimized and the institutions were reduced, but the imperial court was re-established in Chang'an, and the previous framework was definitely not suitable, and the three provinces and six ministries must be restored, but some of the previous essence should be retained, such as the White Tiger Hall, which defines the verification agency of the monarch and the relative power.

Of course, the name of the White Tiger Hall is not very good, and it can be changed, such as to the Privy Council.
