Chapter 243: Settle the Meng Family
Lin Qiaoer came to Tang Qi and asked for a change of address, but the queen couldn't do anything about it, so she asked the emperor.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Then go to Fuchengfang, where the Meng family used to live." Now that a large area is vacated, it is easy to relocate. ”
This matter still needs to be told to the Queen Mother, but since the emperor has already made the decision, this kind of trivial matter will be decided nine times out of ten.
In fact, Lin Qiaoer still has something to ask Tang Qi, where will Tang Yuan go to work in the future?
If it is not suitable anywhere, I hope that the queen mother will simply transfer Tang Yuan out, so as to save herself from a dilemma.
However, in front of the emperor, he couldn't ask this.
Lin Qiao'er was clever, until she left the palace, she secretly passed the word to Hu Lanhua, please ask Hu Lanhua to help ask, if you have an answer, go home tonight and say.
Hu Orchid agreed.
Tang Zhen sent someone to find Tang Yuan and asked him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take up a post, even if it was a name, but Tang Yuan said that he was moving recently, and he would go when he was done.
He didn't go, and he didn't refuse.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to urge.
But when Tang Yuan had just finished moving, he suddenly received an order to lead his troops to Huainan to assist the old general Cao Dingguo and become the deputy general of the Tiger Army.
As a result, Prime Minister Tang Zhen seized the appointment document, and came to the Queen Mother with the document and asked the Queen Mother, what do you mean? Do you want to hand over Huainan to the Tang family, or do you want to keep my confidant for yourself?
Tang Zhen's stroke not only did not worsen, but improved, which was not a good thing for Empress Dowager Cao.
She didn't have much to do with Tang Zhen, she only said that the generals in the hands of the imperial court are a little green and yellow at the moment, although there are still some old generals who can support the beam, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and Tang Yuan is the leader of the younger generation, so he was arranged along the Yangtze River to let him know about the navy. Since the prime minister thinks that this arrangement is inappropriate, let's not temper him for the time being.
Tang Zhen smiled and said: "The queen mother's kindness is appreciated by the old ministers. ”
Tang Zhen was a little confused, and he was still thinking in his heart that the Empress Dowager's move might be to force Tang Yuan to lead the troops to attack Hanzhong, rather than really transferring him to replace Cao Dingguo. Cao Dingguo and Cao Dingbang are also the Empress Dowager Cao's own family, but their relationship is a bit far away, and they have long been out of Wufu's relatives, and they have followed Min Yue from the beginning, and they have been fighting in Jiaohe City for 40 years.
They didn't have a deep relationship with Empress Dowager Cao, but now it's different.
Min Yue strongly supported the Empress Dowager Cao, and with the clan relationship of the same surname, the two brothers Cao Dingguo and Cao Dingbang have become the confidants of the Empress Dowager. One town guards the Yangtze River, and the other guards Jingzhou.
These two are not rice buckets, they are really people who have experienced the test of 40 years of horses, and they have the ability to control the army and control one side.
At this time, Empress Dowager Cao's power spread throughout the Central Plains, Cao Sheng, the general staff of the Luoyang Xuanjia Army, Xiao Han, the general of Mozhou, Hebei, Cao Dingguo, the general of Zhenjiang in Huainan, and Cao Dingbang, the general of the Jingbei garrison, held the lifeblood of the country. Zhao Guangli, the guard of Tongguan, and Zhao Guangxu, the guard of the revolving gate, although they are royalty, he is also the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cao (the son of the Empress Dowager Cao's sister). And at this time, Empress Dowager Cao also attracted Zhang Zhikui, Wan Lin, and Huang Ying. Empress Dowager Cao is powerful, like the sky.
Moreover, at this time, the old handsome Min Yue was still decentralizing power, and the people he arranged were all Cao family forces, not his own family, some people asked Min Yue, why didn't he arrange his son and nephew?
Min Yue said: "Have you forgotten the lesson of Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty?" My Min family, not only will I not participate in the military in the future, but I will also hand over political affairs, including the military power of Jiaohe City, and I don't want my son to control it. It's just to be a marquis honestly, what kind of military power do you get? In the short term, it seems to be a good thing, but after a long time, this is a scourge! ”
Da Sima Tang Zhen has now become Prime Minister Tang Zhen, and Da Sima, the name of the merger of officials and lords, has been outlawed.
Empress Dowager Cao said that in the future, the dynasty will never set up a great Sima, and the imperial historian will also be banned.
Gone is the situation in which the three princes held power, and now it has become a public government.
Tang Yuan wanted to run, but he didn't succeed, Tang Qi asked Hu Lanhua to bring the information.
Hu Lanhua came to the Tang family's new house, so it was magnanimous, it turned out that this was the house of Meng Qingzhong, the second master of the Meng family, and the courtyard of Qijin only lived Tang Yuan, Chen Bao, and Tang Hu's three families, which was too wasteful.
Returning to the old house of the Meng family, the little girl Meng Tao covered her face and cried. Tang Yuan asked her to be quieter and asked her to change her name, but Meng Tao disagreed, and asked Tang Yuan for help, wanting to go to the prison to see her parents.
Tang Yuan was very embarrassed and said, "I can leave you behind, I am already taking a risk." ”
At this time, Hu Lanhua said: "His Majesty the Emperor is considering placing the Meng family, it is said that he intends to spare Meng Zong's life, and named Meng Zhaoyang, the son of Meng Zong, as the king of Jing, hereditary replacement, but from this time on, the Meng family has no military power." Moreover, he, the prince, is also pitiful, and it is already very difficult to support fifty people. The Meng family's thousands of hectares of fertile land and various industries were confiscated by the emperor, and the Meng family no longer wanted to restore the previous thousand people. Although Meng Zhaoyang was named the King of Jing, but for Meng Zong, Empress Dowager Cao did not intend to let him go, and now she is still chasing and killing the Meng family swordsmen Langya and Ji Yifa everywhere, these two dangerous people are not eradicated, and Meng Zong and his wife don't want to get out of prison. ”
"Meng Zhaoyang?" Meng Tao was puzzled: "I don't have a brother named Meng Zhaoyang." ”
Hu Lanhua said: "It's your eldest brother Meng Chao, who was given the name Zhaoyang by the Queen Mother." ”
"So the eldest brother has been released?" Meng Tao said with a little excitement.
Hu Lanhua smiled and said: "Don't worry, these are just the results of the discussion between the emperor and the empress, and the final decision is still in the hands of the queen mother, except for Prime Minister Tang Zhen, Min Yue of Dazhuguo, and Cao Sheng, the general of the Xuanjia Army, others will definitely not be able to speak." It's useless for you to be in a hurry. ”
In the end, Hu Lanhua said to Tang Yuan in private: "The queen mother asked you to continue to assist the Tang family now." ”
After that, Hu Lanhua turned around and left.
She came to Tang Yuan's house as a guest, and also saw Chen Bao and Tang Hu, and when she saw her fellow countrymen, the eldest girl was a little excited. Now she is twenty years old, unmarried, and I don't know what the eldest girl feels like.
Now that she has become the person next to the queen, her marriage problem is no longer up to her.
When you will be able to get married, it is really unknown.
I heard that Chen Bao's mother, Tang Hu's mother and little sister were on their way to Luoyang, Hu Lanhua suddenly begged Tang Yuan to bring his father Hu Dagui to Luoyang, although I don't have money now, but Tang Yuan's mansion is so big, it is not difficult to temporarily settle Hu Dagui's family, and there are more people and it is lively. Your Tang Yuan family has five generations of single inheritance, and there are no relatives, so let the villagers get together and take care of them.
