Chapter 387: The Festive Wang Family

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is so domineering, can Prime Minister Pei and the others also sit idly by, they are the ministers left to you by the first emperor!"

"Pei Lian, hum ....." Hearing Wei Zhen'er's words, Li Xian snorted coldly before saying.

"What kind of ministers, a group of cowardly, hypocritical people, thanks to their father's trust back then, but now they are bought by some small favors, you don't know, today in the court, for the sake of Kong Duan, I and the queen mother quarreled, and finally I opened my mouth to ask Pei Lin and others, originally thought that they would help me, but I didn't expect that they actually helped the queen mother to advise me, and what the queen mother did, all for my good, let me listen to the mother's advice.

At first, although I was angry, I also thought that they were for me and the Tang Dynasty, but later through Wei Aiqing, I learned that the queen mother promised them a few days ago that from this year, the imperial examination will limit the number of applicants for the children of the poor family and increase the number of children from the family.

Tell me, isn't that ridiculous? It seems that there is no credible person in this Manchu minister, which is really sad and lamentable. ”

Looking at the depressed face, compared with the radiant and high-spirited appearance when he just ascended the throne, as if it were two people, Wei Zhen'er felt a sour feeling in her heart, but she also knew that this was not the time for her to be sad, so she could only endure the discomfort in her heart, and comforted, "Your Majesty is angry, everything must be done slowly, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you are only just ascending to the throne now, and the ministers are also many old ministers left by the emperor, over time, you promote some newcomers, they will naturally be loyal to you, when the time comes, Step by step, your dreams and great causes will always come true. ”

"Uh-huh........"

"The concubine is all right, I am still young, I am not afraid of failure, even if I boil, I can survive until the day of the day, Mencius once said, 'The heavens will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies,' I will take all this as a grind, and over time, I will always make these people look good." The gloomy aura on Li Xian's face instantly improved, and he said loudly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty Shengming, the concubine doesn't ask for anything, as long as Your Majesty and our children can be well, that's it." Wei Zhen'er said with a smile.

Looking at Wei Zhen'er, who was as delicate as a flower, Li Xian's heart was also touched a little, and the expression on his face was much gentler, and he said with a smile, "Thanks to Awei, by the way, how is Run'er, are you naughty today, hurry, hurry up and bring it to me to see, I haven't seen him for a day, I miss him a lot." ”

...............................

"Touching ..........."

In the Wude Palace, the sound of beating the table was constantly echoing, and along with the echo, the sound of angry reprimands also came out.

"This rebel, this rebel, dare to be so resentful, does he think that if he is the emperor, the mourning family will really not be able to deal with him, it really angers the mourning family, and the mourning family makes him unable to be this emperor."

The only person who can roar so loudly in the Wude Hall is Wu Meiniang, the most noble woman in the world now.

"The Queen Mother, could it be that Your Majesty has caused some trouble again, and you have been so angry." Looking at Wu Meiniang who was so angry, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little incredible, you know, in the past, no matter what happened, Wu Meiniang was rarely angry, even when her grandfather Shangguan Yi and many ministers joined forces to put pressure on Gaozong Li Zhi and wanted to abolish her as the queen, it is said that she was not angry, but now she is so angry, it can be seen that things are not ordinary.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's question, Wu Meiniang did not answer, but looked at Shangguan Wan'er in men's clothes in a daze, and suddenly said, "Wan'er, you said that if the mourning family were emperors, what would you think." ”

"Ah........h

When Wu Meiniang said this, even if the above official Wan'er was usually bold, her mind was blank for a while, not that her ability to bear it was not enough, but that this matter was unbelievable at all, not to mention her, if anyone came, I am afraid it would be like this.

"Forget it, just treat it as if the mourner didn't ask." Although she didn't get an answer from Shangguan Wan'er, she already had an answer from her surprised look.

It's no wonder that Wu Meiniang asked this question, although later, Wu Meiniang did abolish the two emperors of Zhongzong Li Xian and Ruizong Li Dan, and ascended the throne as the emperor herself, but it was because of their own coincidences.

At this time, Wu Meiniang really didn't have the idea of being an emperor herself, even if she had this idea, I'm afraid even she couldn't believe it, after all, women were emperors, and there was no one in Chinese history for thousands of years, although Wu Meiniang was stronger than most men, she didn't dare to break this convention.

What she has done these days, in addition to wanting to show her sense of existence, is also to teach Li Xian the way of governing the country, just like she said in the court, this official position is a public instrument of the court, and can only be awarded to those who have made contributions to the country and the court, Unexpectedly, this incident was considered by Li Xian to be the reason why he deliberately fought for his face and wanted to empty him, how could Wu Meiniang not be angry.

But when he saw the conversation between Li Xian and Wei Zhen'er in the room, she was completely stunned, and only then did she have the question just now, of course, this is just a scene that she feels in her heart, but this is probably also the first thought she had when she ascended the throne and became the emperor in the future.

As for how he got the dialogue between Li Xian and his wife, this is even less of a problem, he has controlled the government for so many years, not to mention a small palace, and there are countless people in the court who are willing to obey her, and it is not easy to know this little thing.

Although Wu Meiniang said that she didn't ask, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't really act like it hadn't happened, although the surprise on her face ended in an instant, and then he did his own thing step by step, but the heart in his chest never calmed down.

"Ah........ It hurts, how do you walk, Hongu is standing here, how are you like you don't see. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry Your Royal Highness the Princess, the slave maid was thinking about things just now, and she was a little anxious, so she bumped into Her Royal Highness the Princess, and asked Her Highness to punish her."

Because there was something in her heart, Shangguan Wan'er didn't pay attention to it when she returned, and accidentally bumped into someone, fortunately, that person was not someone, it was Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping.

hurriedly helped Li Lingyue up from the ground, looking at Li Lingyue's extremely haggard cheeks that were too sad, and her eyes were already bloodshot, Shangguan Wan'er also felt a heartache in her heart.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you secretly crying in the house again, didn't the Imperial Doctor say, if you are crying, your eyes may not be able to see clearly, why don't you cherish yourself at all?" Looking at Li Lingyue, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, Shangguan Wan'er reproached with great distress. During this time, because of Li Zhi's death, Li Lingyue was extremely sad and grief-stricken, Li Lingyue suddenly felt a black in front of her a few days ago, and she couldn't see it.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's reproach, Li Lingyue unconsciously had a trace of tears in her eyes, and said faintly, "Sister Shangguan, this palace doesn't want to cry, but every time I think of my father and emperor being so bent, this palace can't help but feel sad, you said that your father is not very old, how can you say that it is gone, is it too unfair." ”

"Your Royal Highness the princess, don't be sad, this life and death are fateful, people's life span is determined by heaven, even if Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to change, but even if Your Majesty leaves, you definitely don't want to see you like this, he definitely hopes that you will be happy to be the original princess of Taiping, and I don't want to be such a weird and sentimental crying princess now, so the princess must not be sad, otherwise, Your Majesty may also feel uneasy in the sky." Shangguan Wan'er persuaded him.

"Yes, this palace can't let my father and emperor be restless in the spirit of the sky, and I don't want my mother to worry about this palace, this palace has grown up, and it will definitely become strong in the future." Li Lingyue encouraged herself.

After Shangguan Wan'er's persuasion, Li Lingyue's mood seemed to be much better, and she turned her head to Shangguan Wan'er and asked, "Hey, Sister Wan'er, you just walked by like a lost soul, what were you thinking, you even forgot to walk." ”

"Ah....... Not........ Nothing, nothing, just a little thing. Hearing Li Lingyue suddenly ask about this topic, Shangguan Wan'er replied a little nervously.

"Look at you like this, it will definitely not be a trivial matter, what trivial matter can make you look so depressed, hurry up and talk about it, what is it, you name it, maybe I can give you a little reference?" Li Lingyue is not a fool, and she can see a few clues from Shangguan Wan'er's expression.

"This .......... This .........." Under Li Lingyue's urging, Shangguan Wan'er finally told what had just happened.......

............................

Just when the mother and son turned their faces in Daming Palace because of their rights, the Wang family, who was also in Yongxingfang in Chang'an City, was jubilant.

Speaking of which, the Wang family was also the top family in the world back then, but with the abolition of the former Queen Wang, the Wang family was like bad luck, and there were continuous accidents, which made the Wang family anxious and greatly damaged.

And in March, Wang Bingkun's father-in-law, that is, Duan Jian's wife, Wang Wanjun's grandfather, and Xue Renchao, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, passed away, and one of the most powerful foreign aid of the Wang family was cut off, which led to the fall of a huge umbrella of the Wang family in the officialdom.

You must know that in China, throughout the ages, both family and wealth are linked to official positions, and it is not uncommon for a person to ascend to heaven, and in the same way, without the protection of officials in the corresponding position, the more powerful and wealthy you are, the more you are in the eyes of others.

Therefore, in the past six months, the Wang family has been much more low-key than before, and even after some very profitable businesses were robbed by others, they did not do too much, but remained silent.

However, today, the entire Wang family seems to be like the New Year, completely lively, not only invited many friends to come, if it is not still in the mourning period of the first emperor, I am afraid that the Wang family will have a big flowing water banquet, so that the people in Chang'an come to celebrate.

The reason why this is the case is that another new star of the Wang family has been born in the officialdom, and it is none other than the son-in-law of Wang Bingkun, the head of the Wang family, Duan Jian.

Of course, it stands to reason that Duan Jian is now just a mere official of the fifth grade, not even a state capital's history of thorns, just a long history, but in Huaxia, many times you can't look at positive things.

There is a word called the weight of the inferior, and another reason is that in the feudal era, whether a person has the right or not depends on the relationship between him and the person in power, if you are valued by the person in power, don't say that you are an ordinary person, even if it is a eunuch, you can also make a person kowtow, isn't this the case for the nine thousand years old in later generations.

Although Duan Jian is only a long history now, don't forget, what position he used to be, it was just a county order, and this long history was not made by patting on the back, but by using the merits of war in exchange, with thousands of people and horses, he wiped out the army of tens of thousands of people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, although there are some other reasons, but Duan Jian's importance in it is self-evident, besides, this time to be able to exterminate the Heavenly Daoist Sect and restore the order of Jiangnan Dao, it still depends on Duan Jian and Di Renjie, and who is Di Renjie, That was Duan Jian's mentor.

The most important point is that Duan Jian is not only an ordinary civil official now, but also a military general who has led soldiers and fought in battles, in the Tang Dynasty, it is not like the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, martial arts are the object of ridicule, in the Tang Dynasty, the general who can lead the troops into battle, and the general who can defeat the enemy, that is the hero in the eyes of everyone, and like Duan Jian, an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, that is a big hero in the eyes of everyone, similar to the stars in the sky, and Duan Jian's future is also predictable, described as a promising future, It's perfectly appropriate.

Therefore, after the imperial court got the news from Jiangnan, many people came to the Wang family to report the good news, the good news is the means, and the real purpose is to be able to get in touch with Duan Jian, you know, officialdom is a huge network of relationships, and a person who is destined to have a great future in the relationship, even if there is no benefit, there will be no harm.
