Chapter 15 Political Affairs

There is a world miscellaneous teahouse in Chongrenfang, which is said to have been opened in the Taizong period and has a history of nearly 100 years. News and anecdotes were often chatted here, and over time a colony of frustrated scribes was formed. These scribes or jinshi fell off the list, or you scribes, who regarded themselves as high and unwilling to become officials, or the imperial history of the court and the central government secretly paid private interviews in order to hear some anecdotes. Chang'an City is so big, there are thousands of things that happen every day, and this is undoubtedly the best place to inquire about the news. Yao Chong, the former prime minister, used to go in and out of here to drink tea for fun. Over time, people named this teahouse "Zhengshiyuan". Today, people are relishing a small incident that happened in the West Market at noon.

"There was a big incident in the West Market, and Prime Minister Chen Cheng's third son robbed the people's daughter."

"What kind of big deal is this, this son has always been arrogant and domineering, relying on his father to be the prime minister, and his uncle is the general of the left leading army, and he often does some things like flies and dogs,"

"This third son ran into a hard stubble and openly shouted that my father was the prime minister."

"So arrogant? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is just the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Which prince and nobleman did he meet? ”

"The other party is a school captain."

"Captain? Even the captain of the left and right guards can't bear the son of the prime minister's family. Unless it is the captain of Zuo Jin Wuwei, the so-called county official is not as good as the current management, Zuo Jin Wuwei guards Chang'an City, and a school captain is really not afraid of the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Chen Gongzi can't bear it, and his uncle Chen Jiayou. It is said that Chen Jiayou brought his own soldiers and guards in Fuzhong and surrounded the entire West Market. ”

"It seems that this captain is going to be unlucky, how can a captain not be able to resist the commander of the left leading army, and the official is one level to crush people, not to mention the level of several orders worse."

"It is said that the maiden is the sister of the current queen, and the queen issued a decree to bring her sister and the school captain into the palace to meet her."

"Good idea. In this way, even the commander of the left army has no choice. ”

"You don't believe it, it is said that the general of the left leading army openly resisted the decree and tied up the little eunuch who came out of the palace."

"And this kind of thing? Does Chen Jiayou want to rebel? ”

"It's not enough to rebel, it's true to be bold. It is said that Chen Jiayou relied on his brother to ascend to the throne, and it was inevitable to protect his nephew when he saw him. ”

"In my opinion, hundreds of heads will fall to the ground tomorrow, and since the founding of our dynasty, no one has resisted or disobeyed the order."

"Not necessarily. Chen Jiayou dared to resist the decree, and he should have something to rely on. I heard that it was just the queen's will, if it was the emperor's will, he wouldn't dare to give him ten dares. ”

"The dignified queen can't even protect her sister, the Chen family is too arrogant. The sister of the Wang family and the captain were taken away? ”

"No, Princess Wan'an happened to be there at the time. You didn't see it, I heard that the princess appeared, and Chen Jiayou fell directly to the ground. ”

"Princess Wan'an? Is it Princess Wan'an who was willing to go to the Taoist temple to guard filial piety a few years ago? The Tang Dynasty came to the dynasty from the martial arts, and the princess was more powerful than the prince. Not to mention this Princess Wan'an. ”

"The princess came forward, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and each side played fifty boards."

"How?"

"It's not right for the captain to hurt people, and it's not right for the son of the Chen family to openly rob people, and the last shot is scattered."

"It seems that each of them is playing fifty boards, but in fact, it is the face of the Chen family."

"In any case, it is not right for the Chen family to rob the people's daughter in broad daylight, not to mention that this people's girl is the sister of the current queen."

Speaking of which, the queen has no heirs, which caused her sister to be humiliated in vain. Today's emperor was fond of this queen for a while. ”

"And then? All back? ”

"Not all of them went back. The lieutenant and the queen's sister went to the palace to meet the queen, and Chen Jiayou led the third prince back to the prime minister's mansion. To say that our princess Wan'an is really good, it seems that she doesn't do anything, but she actually does a lot. ”

"The Chen family is going to be unlucky this time, the two brothers of the Chen family are in the same dynasty and the official, which was originally powerful, but now it seems that it is also in danger."

"Now that it has spread, the third son's sentence that my father is the prime minister has become a famous saying."

.....

Baguio's maid went back to the rental house first, and Zhou Peng and Li Guangbi went back to guard. The princess pulled Li Mao in front, Gao Lishi followed behind the princess, and Guo Li, Baguio and Wang Shouyi followed behind Gao Lishi. Along the way, Li Mao occasionally looked back at the two mischievously, and turned her head again when the two didn't speak.

After the princess came forward, all of Chen Jiayou's previous momentum was like a piece of thin ice falling to the ground in an instant, shattering to the ground. There is also a royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the people who eat melons can see it with their own eyes. The prime minister's son ignored it first, and after the left leader led the resistance, no one dared to exceed the rules in front of the princess. The queen's decree can be disobeyed, and the princess cannot be disobeyed. What's more, this Princess Wan'an is Tang Xuanzong's treasure.

Everyone walked along the Buzheng Square to the root of the imperial city. It was the first time for Guo Li to see the ancient imperial palace, and the palace wall more than ten meters high had royal majesty invisibly. The group entered through the Shunyi Gate and entered the palace smoothly under the guidance of Gao Lishi.

"The queen lives in the Lizheng Palace, Concubine Wu Hui lives in Qianxiang Palace, Princess Mother Concubine Liu Hua lives in Xianling Palace, Concubine Zhao Li lives in Jinle Palace, and Concubine Yang Gui lives in Chenxi Palace." As he walked, he introduced the princess to the main concubines in the palace. I have heard about Princess Wan'an for a long time, and I know that the princess has only recently entered the world from the Taoist temple, and I thought that the princess knew nothing about the palace.

How can you be ignorant? Wan An stayed in the palace until he was twelve years old, and when he re-entered the world, his mother was already one of the three concubines under the king and queen. Yesterday, I went back to the palace to see my mother Concubine Liu Huafei, I haven't seen her for many years, even though the princess is unusually calm in temperament, she can't help but moisten the corners of her eyes when she sees her mother with tears in her eyes. At this moment, he listened to Gao Lishi's introduction and instructed: "In a while, the princess will accompany the queen to meet the queen." "The princess is afraid that this father-in-law in the palace will accidentally lead everyone to the Virtuous Palace.

The Rikkisei Hall is located in the south of the Imperial Garden. Gao Lishi led everyone around the imperial garden, only to see that all sides are surrounded by a high palace wall, the center is a magnificent gate, before approaching, the side door walked out of seven or eight palace maids, the leading palace maid smiled after seeing the salute: "The queen has been waiting for a long time, please go in with the slaves." ”

After the princess entered the door, Baguio stepped forward and held the palace maid's hand and said, "Sister Liucui, is my sister okay?" "Liu Cui was the personal maid of the queen before she left the palace, and she was originally the maid of the palace. However, as the identity of the master rises, Baguio does not treat Liu Cui as a subordinate. "The fourth lady is getting better and better at talking, and she will definitely be able to find a wishful husband."

The speaker had no intention of listening, Baguio looked at Guo Li behind him, and it happened that the latter was entering the door, and the two happened to be staring at each other. With a weak heart, Baguio quickly entered the palace.

The Queen's residence, very tasteful and solemn. The golden glazed tiles, as well as the nine dragons hovering above the cornices, all indicate that there is a noble owner living here. After everyone entered the hall, their feet were soft, and the entire hall was covered with carpets produced in Persia in the Western Regions. A woman wearing a phoenix crown on her head had not yet seen the salute, and the woman said softly: "Baguio, come forward and let the palace take a good look." ”
