Chapter 297: The Wife of Life
Xie Jin's performance and everyone's reaction to Xie Jin's performance Yun Xi, who was sitting on the throne, saw it very clearly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If Xie Jin's character were to be the chief official of a yamen, then this yamen would definitely fight the lawsuit in front of Yun Xi two times in three days, and finally force Yun Xi to remove Xie Jin or remove most of the officials except Xie Jin.
However, such a person is also safe to use, and there is no need to worry too much about him leaking secrets as a consultant.
When Xie Jinyin wrote the first poem, because the sentence he said was too contemptuous, although it was not aimed at Yun Xi, Yun Xi did not praise it in order to take care of the emotions of most civil officials. However, after Xie Jin improvised four sixteen-character orders, Yun Xi praised him: "Xie Aiqing is worthy of being known for her talent, and I am far from being able to write poetry. β
Yun Xi is also a famous poet now, so when he said this, he was also praising Xie Jin.
Although Xie Jin's emotional intelligence is not high, he also knows that the king has to be humble when he praises, so he said: "Your Majesty's poetry talent is directly chasing Wei Wu, how can a minister reach it!" β
After thanking Yunxi for his praise, Xie Jin originally wanted to continue talking, but Dong Lun, who was sitting next to him, desperately grabbed him and asked him to sit down. Xie Jin still trusted his few friends very much, so he sat down after suing him.
Xie Jin's poems are in front of him, and no official wants to show ugliness; It was Zhu Ying, who stood up and recited another poem, and Yun Xi felt that it was not bad and praised a few words. After that, the civil and military officials, especially the military attachΓ©s who didn't understand poetry, heard Yunxi praise Zhu Ying, and they kept praising him.
Then, also before the end of the feast. However, it has long been a practice for the end of this banquet for the ministers, and it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually reluctant to accompany the ministers to eat a half-cold meal, but it is just that all dynasties and dynasties have had it, so he had to feast the ministers on the day of New Year's Day.
Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the little eunuch who stayed behind said when Yun Xi was changing clothes: "Your Majesty, Kunning Palace has not been dispersed yet." "Xi Yao is at the Kunning Palace banquet for the wife.
Yun Xi said with some surprise: "Oh, it's not over yet? "In previous years, when Concubine Guo Ning presided over, it usually ended before the end of the banquet in Fengtian Palace, what is going on this year?
Yun Xi waited in the Qianqing Palace for a while, and the little eunuch reported back: "Your Majesty, the banquet for women has ended. β
Yun Xi immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll hurry over!" β
The little eunuch immediately said: "Your Majesty, the women are still in Kunning Palace and have not left the palace, Your Majesty should wait a little longer." β
Yun Xi then sat down and waited for a while, and then took the accompanying eunuch to Kunning Palace.
When Yun Xi arrived, most of the women had already left, and only a few people had not left.
Yun Xi recognized his uncle Chang Sheng's wife Hu Shi and Chang Jizong's wife Li Tong, Lan Zhen's wife Chen Shi and a woman Yun Xi had a vague impression of, and Li Jinglong's wife Yuan Shi was also there.
When they saw Yun Xi, they immediately saluted. Xi Yao didn't use Yun Xi's eyes to help the Hu family, and the other people Yun Xi also let them get up.
It seemed that they were all talking to Xi Yao, but since Yun Xi had already come, they had no choice but to leave.
As soon as they left, Xiyao was so tired that she fell to the ground, and the female officer on the side immediately helped her to sit on the chair. Yun Xi also sat aside and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Do you want to see a doctor? β
Xi Yao said: "It's nothing, it's just that it's a little tired to entertain these women." β
Yun Xi said: "Is it difficult to deal with? β
Xi Yao waved her hand to let the palace maids beside her step back, and then said: "Probably this year is the first time I have presided over the banquet of the women, and the women who are outside the country basically don't see me, they are all talking to me non-stop." β
"I have to think carefully about everything they say to avoid saying the wrong thing."
Yun Xi said: "They are just courtiers, and you are a king, if you don't want to speak, then they don't dare to do anything if you don't say it." Don't tire yourself out like this in the future. β
Xi Yao said: "The concubine knows. However, the words of several lords and ladies still had to be answered. β
Waiting for Xi Yao to get better, Yun Xi asked the palace maid to help her back to the dormitory, he coaxed Xi Yao for a while, saw that Xi Yao had basically recovered, and asked, "What did those people say when they stayed today?" Especially the second aunt, what does she have to say? β
The strangest thing about Yunxi is Chang Sheng's wife, Hu. It is said that with the relationship between Yunxi and the Chang family, if they have something to ask for, let Chang Sheng enter the palace to ask for Yunxi, won't it be over, let the Hu family say anything?
Xi Yao said: "The second aunt didn't say anything important, mainly chatting, but finally said that she wanted the concubine to talk to her husband and give the eldest cousin a hereditary position." β
Yun Xi asked suspiciously, "Why did she have such a request?" If my uncle thinks that the position of the Jizong is low, just tell me. β
Xi Yao said: "At first, the concubine was also puzzled. Later, when I saw the expression of the eldest cousin-in-law (Li Tong) standing aside, the concubine probably understood. β
"After King Wujing of Qiyang (Li Wenzhong) passed away, the emperor's grandfather posthumously crowned him as the king of the county, and issued a decree to add the daughter of King Wujing of Qiyang as the county lord, so now the eldest cousin is the county lord and the grade is the second grade, and now the eldest cousin is the commander of the affairs and is the fourth grade, so the second aunt feels a little low."
"But the second uncle should not think so, so the second uncle begged to come to me, hoping to give the eldest cousin a hereditary position, so as to match the cousin-in-law."
Yun Xi heard this and said with a smile: "Oh, really, this second aunt." β
Then he straightened his attitude and said to Xi Yao: "When the second aunt asks again, you will say what I said, the hereditary position is an important weapon of the country, and it should not be granted lightly." Besides, the eldest cousin is the heir of Zheng Guogong, so how can he need a hereditary position! β
Xi Yao nodded.
Yun Xi asked again: "Who is the woman standing next to the Chen family, is she from the Lan family?" He didn't say he seemed to have seen it.
Xi Yao said: "That's Lan Zhen's cousin Lin, married to Gu Cheng's eldest son Gu Tong, and his father is also the governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, called Lin Hai. β
Yun Xi then remembered that this was the woman surnamed Lin he had met twice! The reason why I remember it is because this person looks like the actor who played Lin Daiyu in the 87th version of Dream of Red Mansions, and it just so happens that her father is also called Lin Hai, so she remembers it. It's just that it's been so long that I can't remember it clearly.
It turned out that she was already married. But yes, you have to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and it's time to get married.
Yun Xi doesn't have any melancholy mood, Chen Xiaoxu's appearance is not the type that Yun Xi likes.
Yun Xi asked again: "Then why did Li Jinglong's wife Yuan stay?" β
Xi Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Even if Your Majesty doesn't ask, the concubine will tell Your Majesty tomorrow." β
Li Jinglong's eldest son Li Chaoyang is also not young, and it is time to get married. Since I became the princess, the clansmen of my mother's family have come to the capital to defect. One of them, named Xue Qi, is my clan uncle, he has good skills, and he has made up for the vanguard of the government army, and now he is in command, and His Majesty also knows about this matter. β
Yunxi nodded. Of course, he is very concerned about the affairs of the queen's mother's family, just like he will make people stare at the affairs of his mother's family.
Xiyao continued: "My uncle has a daughter, who is also sixteen years old this year, and I have also seen it, and she is a very smart woman. Now the Yuan family wants to marry my sister for his eldest son. β
Yun Xi was suddenly a little surprised, he guessed that it might be like this, but he felt that Li Jinglong had brains anyway, so he wouldn't do such a thing. It's just a matter of marrying Li Tong to Chang Jizong, after all, the Zheng Guogong Mansion and the Cao Guogong Mansion are the right people; But although he has succeeded to the throne and promoted Xue Ning when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, he is still far inferior to the Li family.
Of course, as the queen of the dynasty, the maiden family cannot be considered with a general status, but the clansmen of the mother's family are not very close to the national abbot Xue Ning, and the Ming Dynasty is also relatively strict in restricting the politics of the harem, so it is of little use.
Yun Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "You tell this clan uncle that I don't agree to this marriage, so let him refuse." No matter what Li Jinglong thought, he directly refused.
Then he said to Xi Yao: "If the Yuan family still talks about this matter, you can tell her that I have seen Cao Guogong's ability in my eyes, and I will definitely be of great use." β
Yun Xi did have the idea of using Li Jinglong, but he was not fooling them. Of course, if Li Jinglong still has the illusion of leading the troops out to fight, Yun Xi must tell him: Don't dream!
Yun Xi felt that he had nothing to ask, and because it was getting late, he asked Min'er, Siqi and Wenyuan if they were asleep, so he pulled Xiyao to sleep.
Yun Xi fell asleep immediately, but Xi Yao, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep immediately. Yun Xi, the five women who stayed today, asked three people, but Xi Yao was most concerned about the one Yun Xi did not ask, Chang Jizong's wife, Li Tong, the county lord of Tu.
When Xi Yao was talking to other people, she occasionally felt that someone was staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Then she looked in that direction and always saw Li Tong in that direction.
Of course Xi Yao knew Li Tong. Li Tong is the most enviable of the daughters of officials in the entire capital: she is the county lord and is favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, even Zhu Yuanzhang's own granddaughter is jealous of Li Tong.
Then Li Tong married the eldest son of the Chang family, the future Zheng Guogong Chang Jizong, and then became a man in one fell swoop, and his husband was caring, and he has not had any concubines so far, basically in everyone's minds, it is a perfect life.
However, Xi Yao knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had considered whether to make Li Tong the princess, and then gave up. Although almost no one outside the palace knows about this matter, many subordinates in the palace who have served by Zhu Yuanzhang's side know about it, and Xiyao also knew it from his subordinates after entering the palace.
'So,' Xi Yao thought, 'Li Tong is looking to see if I'm a suitable queen?' She wasn't sure.
Of course, it could be someone else, not her. Xi Yao thought again.
After thinking about it, Xi Yao, who thought about it, couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep before thinking about the result.
