Tuoba Shen stood behind Feng Qing, looking at Cao Guiren who was far away in the cold wind and turned back several times, Tuoba Shen thought about all kinds of past events in Qingxiao Courtyard, looked at the backs of Cao Guiren and Ah He, and wanted to go forward several times, not asking to go back to Qingxiao Courtyard, at least to send a little more way, but looking at Feng Qing in front of him, he still didn't go. It wasn't until Cao Guiren disappeared into the palace wall for a long time that Tuoba Shen came back to his senses.

Feng Qing turned around, looked at Tuoba Shen's reluctance, and said, "If Erlang is reluctant, it's good to go to Qingxiao Courtyard often." Auntie is not such a stingy person. You'll know when you've been here for a long time. As he spoke, he took Tuoba Shen and turned around and entered the door: "Auntie has prepared a room for you, take you to see, if there is anything that you can't prepare, Erlang said that Aunt Yu knows." ”

"Erlang, is the lady of the Zheng family that Your Majesty said the niece of Concubine Zheng?"

"Yes"

"Does Erlang know him outside the palace?"

"I met by chance at Yongning Temple."

"Jiro is so blessed......"

。。。。。。。。

After Zheng Yi walked out of the car door, his spirit relaxed, and he felt that his steps were a little lighter. Just returned to the Cao duty room of the Ministry of Officials, a few good colleagues saw the edict in Zheng Yi's hand, surrounded him, and said kind words, wanting to find out what edict the emperor had issued, of course they would not say that they wanted to see the emperor's edict, but it was not taboo to ask what was going on, after all, it was a fair and honest matter, not a secret edict.

Zheng Yi was no more than the "enthusiasm" of his colleagues, and just as he was about to answer a few colleagues, he saw Yu Yi, a close confidant of Wang Xi in Cao's Ministry of Officials, walking in from outside the door.

Yu Yi was one of Wang Xi's several middle-level and high-ranking cronies in the Ministry of Cao, and he was also single-handedly promoted. Wang Xi heard that Zheng Yi was announced by the emperor, but he didn't know what the reason was. Recently, he didn't know that the news channels in the palace were not as smooth as before, so he didn't know about the emperor's announcement of Zheng Yi's announcement, so he wanted to wait for Zheng Yi to listen to the news after returning to the Ministry of Officials, but he threatened Zheng Yi not long ago. It was Yu Yi who had just seen Zheng Yi passing by in the duty room, so he hurried over to take a look.

As soon as several Lang officials saw Yu Yi walking in, they didn't dare to surround Zheng Yi anymore, and lined up to salute: "Meet Supervisor Cao Gong!" ”

Yu Yi nodded, and said with a serious face: "Have you finished all the business left over yesterday?" ”

Zheng Yi and several colleagues bowed their heads and were silent.

"If there is any more left today, there is no need to lower the value, and it is not too late to leave the candle after processing."

Zheng Yi and the others didn't know why this Yu Yi was indiscriminately attacking for no reason, but they felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so they scattered the birds and beasts immediately, and they returned to you.

Yu Yi walked up to Zheng Yi and said in a low voice: "Zheng Jun, I just heard that His Majesty summoned Zheng Jun to receive the edict, but is there such a thing?" ”

"That's what happened," Zheng Yi put down his pen and stood up and replied

"Can it be related to the Cao affairs of the headquarters?"

Zheng Yi looked at his nose and nose, of course he knew that the purpose of this Yu Yi was to send a message to Wang Xi, and the matter of His Majesty's marriage edict would definitely be known to everyone in the provinces and ministries after a while, so he didn't have any idea of hiding it.

"It has nothing to do with the ministry Cao, there is Wang Shangshu in the ministry, and there are pawns, supervisors, and things, even if Your Majesty has a big responsibility, Wang Shangshu should be responsible. How can a subordinate official take on the heavy responsibility of His Majesty. ”

"Zheng Jun don't blame Yu for having a lot of mouths, Yu is not only one of the officials of this Cao, but also one or two for your subordinates, Zheng Jun is also in this Cao, Yu is Zheng Jun's official, and he doesn't dare to ask more. If the edict is a private affair, Yu does not dare to ask again, if it is a public favor, can we, who serve as officials, know a thing or two. ”

The few Lang officials who were scolded by Yu Yi just now saw Yu Yi go to Zheng Yi to inquire about the news, and the sound of turning the paper was sparse, and they listened with their ears squinted, and when they heard Yu Yi's last sentence, they all agreed with it in their hearts, and they didn't even move their pens.

His Majesty's edict, even if it has nothing to do with them, it is good to know more, at least to be asked by others, so as not to be despised without knowing it.

"His Majesty Zheng did not give up, and he was repeatedly favored. If you want to be the fourth daughter of the lower official as the broom woman of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the edict issued today is this matter. ”

Yu Yi and the others listened to Zheng Yi's words, and were collectively stunned for a while, and then came over to congratulate them, and the lively scene not long ago was presented again, but this time Yu Yi did not scold anything, but pretended to congratulate him for a few sentences, and then took advantage of the coaxing of the Cao members, and went out of the duty room to report to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was waiting in his room, he was the fourth person in Shangshu Province, of course, he would not be guarding Cao in the Ministry of Officials. His exclusive room was in the main area of Shangshu Province, a little away from the official Cao.

Wang Xi was looking at the Wen Han sent below about the examination of some county officials, when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door, raised his head and saw Yu Yi walking in.

"Ling Gong (Wang Xi served as Shang Shu Ling, so he was called Ling Gong. ), the lower official looked for Zheng Yi, asked about His Majesty's announcement of his meeting with him, and came to report to the Duke of Ling. ”

"What's going on?" Wang Xi leaned the end of the pen in his hand against the inkstone and asked.

"Your Majesty issued an edict to take Zheng Yi's fourth daughter as the second prince's concubine. In the future, I am afraid that this Zheng Yi will not be so easy to control in Cao. In the past few days, Zheng Yi has annoyed Ling Gong several times, and I am afraid that he will be more arrogant in the future. ”

Wang Xi didn't care that Yu Yi was complaining there, but just sighed and waved his hand to signal him to go out.

。。。。。。。

Feng Dan was not summoned by the emperor today, so he only got an edict and left the palace, and he was a little depressed in his heart, so he returned to the Ministry of Rites and Cao to sit for a while. Feng Dan didn't read very well when he was a teenager, not to mention the etiquette system that occupies a pivotal position in traditional culture. He didn't understand these things, they were all in charge of his deputy Yi Caochang, Ling and others, he came here to respond to the scene, sat for a while, and then went back.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to go home after sitting for a short time, a palace eunuch sent by the fifth sister in the palace came to report and tell him that the emperor had just announced the succession of the second prince to Feng Qing in the Zhongyin Palace, and Feng Dan was shocked by this sudden news. This is really an unthinkable thing, in my heart I was angry, I originally planned to go to the harem to find Feng Qing to ask clearly, but just walked to the stop door, looked at the gatehouse and the palace guard on duty in front of the door, and calmed down, even if I went now, what can I say? The dust has settled. Could he still go and make a fuss and drive the second prince away? He immediately went out of the end door and returned home by car.

After entering the door, he asked the servant clearly, and learned that the old father was in the greenhouse, so he went straight to the greenhouse. Feng Xi's health has improved a lot recently, and he can move around a little, so he doesn't want to stay in bed anymore.

Feng Dan went outside the greenhouse, and only went in after Feng Xi's permission, and after saluting, he told the news from the fifth sister Feng Guiren, and then gave the edict in his hand to Feng Xi for a look.

"My lord, the third sister's trip has almost put my family in a dilemma." After Feng Dan finished speaking, he aired.

After Feng Xi read the edict, he closed his eyes. He had seen a lot of things, but he was not as happy and angry as Feng Dan, but it was obvious that he was also angry at the third daughter's self-assertion.

"This matter has been decided by Your Majesty, and there can be no room for reversal. If it's just Sanniang'er's intention, I'm afraid that Your Majesty also intends to fulfill it! ”

"My lord is saying, is Your Majesty suspicious of my Feng family?"

"Your Majesty is a person of pure filial piety, and although my Feng family has gained glory and wealth, I have never interfered in court politics, nor have I sought the position of local assassin or general, at most, many court officials have received your aunt's great favor, and I can still have a lot of affection in my family. My Feng family has one door, only my father's branch remains, and the other door lives in Jingyi, so what is there to be suspicious? You don't want to be suspicious and delusional, but you misunderstand the idea of loyalty, if you lose the loyalty of the king, even if the Feng family has so many feelings, it will inevitably be defeated. ”

"Then what do you say?"

"After all, the eldest son of the emperor is longer than the hands of the Queen Mother, even if he is not as close to my Feng family as His Majesty in the future, my Feng family's wealth and wealth can always be preserved. Back then, your aunt didn't want my family to interfere in the government affairs, first, because my family was only my father, even if I wanted to go to the local government to control the military and politics, but there were no children in the family, and I was not strong enough, and second, the royal family was strong, and your aunt could control the Great Wei by virtue of the position of the queen mother. In the past few decades, although the Queen Mother has abandoned Gaozong's younger brothers, she has to reuse the descendants of Emperor Jingmu, and this is the reason. ”

"Your Majesty thinks that my family has been rich for generations, so we should be content with our duties, so we want to cut off our relationship with the emperor's eldest son. After all, your younger brothers are also officials in the court, although they are some minor officials, in the end they have some future, if they can win the favor of Chu Er, they may not be able to become Yang Jun and others in the future. ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty has the heart to protect my Feng family, and there is no doubt that he is jealous, so he issued this edict of marriage."

"There is still something to be given to your lordship, today's marriage is not unique to my family, Your Majesty will marry the fourth daughter of Zheng Xi's eldest son for His Royal Highness."

Feng Xi was puzzled, looked at the edict again, and said, "What did Your Majesty say in the edict to the Zheng family, do you remember?" ”

Fortunately, the emperor's edict was not long, and Feng Dan also remembered about eighty or ninety percent, so he repeated it.

Feng Xi thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's good intentions, Your Majesty will be more advanced than the third lady, and I am worried that the foreign ministers will not know what to do, and vainly guess that Your Majesty has the heart to abolish the growth and establish the young, so I issued these two edicts." ”

"His Majesty's edict to my family has the words 'Longmy Wei Room', and the Zheng family has the words 'for Wei Zongfan'. Without him, cover the doubts! ”
