Chapter 44: The Argument

Huang Qiong's flat tone did not affect Jia Quan's interest. He walked behind Huang Qiong and said in a calm tone: "For example, the chair on the Hanyuan Hall of Ziwei Palace, doesn't the prince really have any ideas?" The crown prince is the prince, and you are also the prince. The crown prince's mother is the queen, and your mother is also the queen. ”

"Besides, the current queen is from a family, but she is just a small official. When he got married, his father was just a six-grade temple in Dali Temple. After the current pro-government, he was only given a hereditary position, not even a knighthood. This is very different from the practice of all emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty who succeeded to the throne and canonized the father of the empress as at least a baron. ”

Of course, this may also be because his father has died of illness, and it is only the brother of the palace who has been crowned. But this is enough to show that the background of the middle palace is too small, and even the emperor has some concerns when he adds the seal. After all, she is far inferior to the mother of the prince, and her background as the daughter of the king of Huaiyang County is more prominent. ”

"Of course, although the grandfather's family background was prominent back then, it is now in ashes and has become a thing of the past. But the status of the prince's grandfather is there, and even the historian has no way to completely erase it. Everyone's identity and status are here, and no one is worse than anyone else. ”

"Oh, you're a capable man? can still handle his father's funeral, and at the same time find out the king's background. It seems that this king has underestimated you a little. Looking at this tail, a guy who was more or less cocked, Huang Qiong said in a somewhat cold tone.

Maybe he didn't hear the coldness in Huang Qiong's tone, his words fell, and Jia Quan, who thought that he had shown a small hand in front of Huang Qiong, had a smile on his face even more at this time: "Although the prince has not been out of the palace for a long time, I am afraid that most of the people in Luoyang City, even including some low-level officials in Shangshu Province, may not know that there is a new county king like you in this Luoyang City." ”

But just because most people don't know doesn't mean that no one really knows. Especially when it comes to the Ministry of Engineering for the repair of the palace, the Ministry of Rites for the purchase of items, and the yamen of Zongzheng Temple, it is difficult to even think about it. Besides, the shopkeeper of the inn seemed to be very familiar with the woman who came to look for the prince that day. ”

On the night I met the woman, the shopkeeper disappeared for half the night. If Quan is not mistaken, this shopkeeper Fang has gone to see an old man. After the shopkeeper came back, he looked very depressed, and he drank a full half night of wine with him in the second half of the night. ”

"It's not very difficult to use the power to extract something from the mouth of a half-drunk person who wants to know. However, although this shopkeeper Fang was already half drunk, he was still very cautious in some aspects. It's just that he has been looking for the old man for more than ten years, but it turned out that he entered the palace, and he didn't find it. The others refused to say anything. ”

However, although this shopkeeper Fang didn't say much after drinking, there were some things that were enough to add up to the information he got in Quan Ping's day. The princes and county kings in this capital, except for an old county king who is in charge of Zongzheng Temple, the rest are the sons of Jinshang. At least, other foreign feudal clans did not have custom mansions in Beijing, not even princes. ”

"According to the custom of the Great Qi Dynasty, the prince was crowned the king of the county at the age of six, and he was crowned the prince when he left the palace at the age of thirteen. And before the prince left the palace, almost no one in this Luoyang City knew where the prince was located. It wasn't until the prince left the palace to go to the palace, involving the prince's promotion and Zongzheng Temple, which was in charge of clan affairs, that the following officials knew that there was a prince named Wangye. ”

It shows that the environment in which the prince lived before was closed even in the palace, and even ordinary palace maids and eunuchs could not come into contact with it. The reason why the prince was not allowed to leave the palace until he was eighteen years old was also because of some special reasons. The right to see that the prince is strong and strong, and he does not look like a frail and sick person. Then it was released at this age, and naturally there were other reasons. ”

And the lady who made the shopkeeper Fang remember not coming out after entering the palace. Generally, when the palace maid reaches her age, the emperor has already been released from the palace as long as he is not lucky. And the concubines who have been fortunate by the emperor, even including the palace maids, are easily impossible to be allowed to leave the palace. ”

"Even if he is allowed to leave the palace, he is accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids. Like the outer city where the inn is located, it is impossible to enter and exit casually. This can only show that Chen Gongnu has probably been living in a closed environment for more than ten years. There will be no ordinary nobles around to help, so that he will not be released from the palace, nor will he be fortunate by the emperor. ”

And that Miss Chen gave a little master to the prince, which is enough to show that the person she serves is definitely not an ordinary identity. Ordinary palace maids don't call the prince born to their master like this, even the prince doesn't call him that. Only the kind of palace maid who follows his master into the palace together, the so-called personal palace maid will have such a title. ”

"Besides, the matter of the king of Huaiyang County back then, although it has been more than ten years. But back then, he was in power all over the world and single-handedly controlled the government of the Great Qi Dynasty for several years. Establish an emperor and abolish an emperor, and almost one step away from seizing this county king surnamed Huang, how can he be completely forgotten casually? ”

"Back then, the king of Huaiyang County, although the blood of the clan was flowing, he almost didn't kill the descendants of the first emperor. But for the common people in the world, except for a few children and grandchildren who are not well educated, they have done a lot of good things. Therefore, although it has been in the west for so many years, there are not a few people who will never forget it. ”

"And the matter of the two abolished queens back then and now, because it is to make the world clear, so it can be said that everyone knows about it. The fact that the prince is only out of the palace at this age is enough to show that the identity of the prince makes some people, even taboo today. Therefore, the time for the prince to leave the palace has been suppressed. It wasn't until the pressure was no longer suppressed that the prince was finally allowed to leave the palace and go to the house. ”

However, it is obvious that some people are not reconciled, so they try their best to suppress the prince in the title. And among the sons born today, there can be no one else who can make people so taboo, except for the daughter of the king of Huaiyang County back then, that is, the son of the former queen today. ”

"Among the sons born today, although there are also many foreign families with prominent backgrounds, but under the deliberate adjustment of today, they are all from civil officials, and there is no military attache from a family. Even if it is a scholar and a scholar, it will not make many people taboo to such an extent that the time for a prince to leave the palace has been postponed for five years. ”

"To make these people, even those who are so taboo today, Quan Xiang is afraid that there is no one else except for the former queen who was born as the daughter of the prince of Huaiyang County back then, and Concubine Jing who lives in the cold palace today. In this way, the true life experience of the prince is not too difficult to judge. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Quan swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and said with some difficulty: "Quan is still the same sentence, no matter what the prince's background is, but if the prince wants to be a prince of peace, he naturally can't use the power to make suggestions." In addition to enjoying the innate glory and wealth of falling grass, it is to find a way to accumulate money and plan for future generations. ”

"If the prince has other thoughts, Quan will naturally plan for the prince. The right is self-aware, and if you talk about the upright conspiracy, the right is not even half as good as half of the ministers in the court. But if you talk about some small means that cannot be put on the table, there are still some ways to be confident. ”

Listening to this guy's unashamed words, Huang Qiong couldn't help but appreciate some of the things that this guy showed in some aspects while being angry. This guy can actually judge his true origin through some trivial things, and his ability in some aspects can be regarded as good.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong shook her head and said, "What is my mother's identity, at least it doesn't matter to you. What Shopkeeper Fang said was just his one-sided words. There are some things that you should know, and sooner or later will let you know. What you shouldn't know, you don't know yet. Now I ask you, what do you think about the current trend in the world? ”

After Huang Qiong finished speaking, knowing that this was the young prince in front of him, Jia Quan, who had really tested himself, quickly put away his smile, and said with a whole face: "Lord, I don't know what you think." But from the perspective of Quan, in addition to being as dangerous as a pebble, Quan can't think of a comparable statement. ”

After he finished saying these few words, although Huang Qiong's face did not change, her eyebrows moved slightly. However, Huang Qiong neither agreed nor objected to his words. just said lightly: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Today's diligent government is extremely rare among the emperors of the past dynasties. ”

"Except for the first few years, there was no delay in the morning of the day. The recitals of the ministers below, it can almost be said that they never stayed overnight. Now there is the prince and the auxiliary government, and the ministers and ministers work together. Although it can't be said to have created a prosperous era, at least it can be regarded as a political and well-versed person? How can it be said that it is as dangerous as a pebble? You know, just your words are a big rebellion. ”

"The government is harmonious, and Quan doesn't know where the prince saw it, or if the prince is joking with the right. Now in Luoyang City, those peasants who lost their land and went to the city to eat, but became starving because they had no livelihood skills, did the prince really never see it? Not to mention anything else, how many people are carried out of this Luoyang City every day, does the prince really not know? ”

"Today's Great Qi Dynasty, from top to bottom, as long as it is an official, he is desperately encroaching on the land. The prince is hoarding, the prince is hoarding, and the prince is hoarding. Wenchen is hoarding, military generals are hoarding, and even those big businessmen are hoarding. These people went to the point of going to great lengths to seize the people's land. ”

"In this dynasty, there are clans and officials, and even the land under the name of the scholar does not have to pay taxes, that is, the so-called officials and gentry are exempt from taxes. As long as the land becomes one's own, there is no need to do anything every year, as long as you sit on the land rent, you can reap a large amount of wealth. Even if they suffer from natural disasters, as long as the land belongs to them, they can still get it back. Therefore, clans and officials at all levels are all in a big way to encroach on people's land. ”

"Especially the princes, princes and princes of the clan, all of whom are desperately trying to occupy land for their own enjoyment and for the sake of their descendants not to be poor. This dynasty implements a system of surrender of knights, although it is not as full of princes and county kings as in the previous dynasty, but it also brings a lot of crisis to these clans. ”

"According to the clan system of this dynasty, each branch can only be a son-in-law, and the rest of the concubines can only get one, and receive a little bit of food and starvation. And these false titles are also to be descended. When you go to a court, you can only receive a year equivalent to an official from the eighth grade, 50 yuan of money, and 6 stone Lu rice. ”

"Even if the eldest son has a title to inherit, what about the sons who are not the eldest son. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. If you let most of these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, who enjoy the glory and wealth as soon as they fall to the grass, go and get a Jiupin official to feed a large family, it is better to simply kill them. ”
