Chapter 245: Xie Hong, the son of sincerity
The relatives of the Ming Dynasty were not powerful, so their families, that is, the relatives of their relatives, naturally no one looked down on them.
In addition to the decree of a good person, for the two Mrs. Zhang, that is, occasionally being able to enter the palace to talk to the Queen Mother can be regarded as a benefit, and this benefit is not something that can be cashed out at any time.
However, today the two ladies can't care so much. Although there was no summons from the Queen Mother, and there was no New Year's holiday, the two still entered the palace in a hurry, and when they arrived at Cining Palace, they broke in without waiting for a report. Don't be in a hurry, the master has fallen into the hands of the plague god, if it's late, it's a matter whether you can come out or not.
The palace people all knew their identities, and when they saw their anxious appearance, they didn't dare to stop them even if they didn't follow the rules, but just sent the ones who were quick to report. After all, it is a relative of the Queen Mother, in case something really delayed, the Queen Mother blames it, who can afford it?
"Queen Mother, you want to call the shots for us......" As soon as they entered the hall, the two ladies did not look up, and directly fell to the ground and cried, they felt wronged! Uncle and Mrs. Guo, what a prestige name, but there is no matching scenery at all, let alone going out to be a blessing, it would be good not to be a blessing by others.
The Ming Dynasty is a scholar in power, those civil officials are staring at it all day and night, and it is okay for nobles to bully ordinary people, once it provokes the heads of scholars and doctors, then wait for bad luck.
What's more, even if it is to oppress ordinary people, it is risky, the officials are not vegetarians, except for the emperor, the ones they keep an eye on the most are the nobles, and from time to time they will take out those black materials and shake them, after all, the officials eat this bowl of rice, and they have no performance if they don't break the news.
Wasn't Shou Ninghou beaten up by Li Dongyang on the Jinluan Palace because of this? The old man's hands are black, and he finally moved the guy, this is called a ruthless!
Today is even more amazing, a courtier also bullied the head of the uncle, and we will endure being bullied by civil officials, who let Grandpa Taizu say that he wants to rule the world with the scholars, and the civil officials are on the same level as the emperor? can be bullied by his brother and ministers, it's really unbearable, his own master is the uncle of the country! The younger brother of the Queen Mother, dear!
"You are becoming more and more unruly, you can't control Heling and Songling at home, let them go out to spend all day drinking, but you listen to the words of annihilation indiscriminately, come to embarrass your family, and do you still have the face to come to see the mourning family?"
To their surprise, Empress Dowager Zhang not only did not get angry because her brother was arrested, but taught them a lesson in a stern tone. What's going on? The two Mrs. Zhang are a little confused, could it be that their master was chosen by the father of the Queen Mother, not a kiss?
The Queen Mother doesn't like the two of them, and they know it themselves. Since the noble relatives have no prestige, there are many fewer people who are willing to marry the noble relatives, at least the scholarly family is not to be counted on, but where there are scholars who are expected to take the imperial examination in the family, such a family will definitely not choose to marry the noble relatives.
No other reason is needed, just a bad reputation is enough.
Therefore, like many noble relatives, the two Mrs. Zhang were also born in a family of merchants. Scholars disdain, that's because the status of scholars is higher than that of nobles, but the status of businessmen is much lower than that of nobles.
If you want to climb the scholars, you have to be able to climb it? Merchants are self-aware, although scholars also need merchants to run for them to collect money, but they will not marry merchants, if they are willing to come to the door as slaves, then they can also consider.
Therefore, the merchants are quite keen to marry their nobles, and would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, although they are not as good as the sergeants and doctors, but the status has always improved.
Empress Dowager Zhang herself was born in a scholarly family, and she was a little disdainful of merchants, but her surname was tranquil, and she would not hold on to this stubble. However, Empress Dowager Zhang was very dissatisfied with the fact that the two ladies couldn't control their younger brothers and let them go out to spend time drinking.
You must know that she lives by herself, and Empress Dowager Zhang is quite unaccustomed to men messing around outside.
Of course, Empress Dowager Zhang is not unreasonable, and she also knows that the main reason for this matter is that the two younger brothers are not good, but it is not enough for the two younger brothers to go out and spend money alone, and the two ladies often ask for money from their parents' families to subsidize it, which is very bad.
Those who can't control them have to control their money bags! Empress Dowager Zhang also read the book of saints, and the adults in the court and the central government understand it, and she also understands it. The two Mrs. Zhang also know where the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction comes from, but what can be done, who asked the Queen Mother not to pull the two younger brothers?
What's more, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and you can't see death and not save your younger brother, right? After being reprimanded, the two ladies also stopped crying, and raised their heads timidly, wanting to find out something from the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, so that they could deal with it.
As a result, when they looked up, the two of them immediately understood what was going on, there was a young man sitting next to the Queen Mother, with a smile on his face, but how to look at it, how to have bad intentions, isn't there any other emperor today?
It turned out that someone sued the black in advance! The two women were stunned, and then they wanted to cry even more, so they were also the kings of a country, how could they do such a tasteless thing as suing the black?
No wonder that courtier is so fearless, it turns out that the emperor really supports him! However, the emperor actually teamed up with outsiders to deal with his uncle, this is not a mercy, right?
"Wife of Life...... See the emperor, see the queen mother. The two were stunned for a moment and hurried to salute.
"Queen Mother, although they are not successful, they are your younger brothers after all, so they can't hurt people, right? Even if they deserve it, the Queen Mother's face ......"
Although she knew that she had been taken advantage of and the odds of winning were very low, she always had to struggle, and Zhang Heling's wife cried aggrieved again. This time, she didn't say anything about saving people or anything, she just provoked it directly.
"Suffer a loss and grow wise, and they should also learn a lesson. If the two of you are only here for this matter, then there is no need to say more, go back, the mourning family has its own measure. "Whether it's provoking or crying, when I got to the Empress Dowager Zhang, there was no reaction at all, and it was just a cold eviction order.
Of course, no matter how tranquil the Empress Dowager Zhang's surname is, she is not a fool after all, the provocation of these two women is too superficial, and it does not play any other role except to increase the disgust in Empress Dowager Zhang's heart.
“…… The concubine retired. The two women heard this and knew that things were no longer possible, although there were still many things that could not be figured out, but under the prestige of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and Zhengde by the side, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to quit aggrievedly.
When the two of them withdrew, Empress Dowager Zhang took away the serious expression on her face, frowned slightly and asked, "Emperor, your uncle will be fine, right?" ”
If the two women hadn't left, they would definitely have been surprised, because the Empress Dowager Zhang was completely different from the cold appearance just now, and her tone was full of worry, and she was not under the two of them, and the speed of this change of face was really very fast.
"Queen Mother, don't worry, I do something, why did I have an accident?" Zhengde comforted the old lady, of course, this sentence did not work at all. Not to mention Empress Dowager Zhang, even the palace maids and eunuchs on the side lowered their heads and pouted: Who in this Forbidden City doesn't know? Long live you, it's normal to have an accident, but it's strange if there is no accident.
Zhengde was completely unconscious, patting his chest and guaranteeing: "Uncle they drank a few glasses of flower wine in Lichun Courtyard and got confused, and they didn't know if they were used. I just let people scare them, it's okay, not a single hair will be missing. ”
In the end, mother and son are connected, and Empress Dowager Zhang's trust in Zhengde is a little higher than others, especially what Zhengde said is very good for her spleen. As the empress, Empress Dowager Zhang has nothing else special, but she is very famous, because she is the only wife of Hongzhi, a monogamous emperor, and there are only a few in the history of China for thousands of years.
Because of her own experience, what Empress Dowager Zhang dislikes the most is that her two younger brothers go to the Qinglou and drink flower wine, and the second is that they make trouble outside, as a result, this time the two things are together, so it's no wonder she will be happy.
What's more, Zhengde is very mature and steady in speaking and doing things today, as if she has suddenly grown up, and she is even more relieved in her heart.
Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while, sighed and said: "It's okay, if you don't suffer a small loss, you will cause big trouble in the future, when your father is here, the mourning family is afraid of causing trouble for your father, so they have been restrained, and the two of them are quite obedient." But after your father's great trip, the minds of your two uncles have also come alive, even if they don't say it, the mourning family will know it......"
groaning, wiping the corners of her eyes twice, Empress Dowager Zhang said again: "Daming is so big, there are so many political affairs, the mourning family also knows that it is not easy for the emperor, and Ping Suli will not interfere, but your uncle's affairs must be handled properly, don't give the foreign court a truth, let alone really hurt them, after all, it is your uncle ......"
"Queen Mother, don't worry, let me ...... The competent man has gone to do this, and he has made sure that it is in order. Using Xie Hong's words as a footnote, Zhengde was already very used to it, and he almost leaked in front of the Queen Mother. is also the emotion he said when he saw his mother, otherwise, the best actor who memorized his lines would not have made such a mistake.
"Emperor, you're talking about that Xie Hong, right? In the legends outside, this man's reputation doesn't seem to be very good. Speaking of Xie Hong, Empress Dowager Zhang's brows furrowed again, although she didn't care about outside things and never went out of the palace, but Xie Hong's name was too loud, and she had heard of it from time to time.
Of course, even if she doesn't want to know, someone will send the news to her, and use the queen to suppress the emperor, which is the latest strategy of the foreign dynasty.
It doesn't seem to be very good to describe it, Zhengde snickered in his heart, the reputation of the eldest brother can't be washed away with the water of the Yellow River, at least go to the sea to soak in it to dilute it a little, otherwise why is Zhenhaibo?
"The legends outside are all lies, Queen Mother, you don't know, Xie Hong is a dedicated person, he ...... Let's just say that when he was in Xuanfu, that Yang rebel was both talented and beautiful, and he was also known as the god of music, which made many people in Xuanfu crazy...... As a result, Xie Hong didn't even look at her, and now Yang rebel lives in Xie Hong's house, but Xie Hong didn't move a finger of her. ”
Best actor Zhu Houzhao began to enter the state, starting from the beginning of Xie Hong's experience, especially in key places, which has a tendency to be possessed by Ma Ang.
From the moment Empress Dowager Zhang heard a sensitive word, yes, it was dedication, her originally frowning brows were loosened, and then, she leaned forward and listened quite attentively. Xie Hong's experience is already very legendary, and coupled with the rendering of Zhengde, it is really exciting.
"Also, a few days ago, Riharu-in ...... Well, it's the uncle's favorite green building, including the top brand or something, all the girls went to Zhenbao Zhai, the queen mother, you haven't seen it, that scene is called a spectacular ...... The result? Queen Mother, do you know what Xie Hong said? ”
"What did you say?" was fooled by Zhengde, the melancholy between Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows and eyes was completely gone, replaced by a look of great interest, gossip, most women will be interested.
"He said: Beauty is a floating cloud in my eyes, and I am only helping you in the spirit of humanitarianism." Zhengde's tone was very deep, "Queen Mother, look at it, Xie Hong is not messy, how upright he is, how can he be a bad person?" ”
The eunuchs and palace maids on one side are all slandering in their stomachs, and the story is very exciting, but it doesn't match the good guys and bad guys at all.
But Empress Dowager Zhang nodded thoughtfully: "According to what the emperor said, this young man is indeed a sincere son, not only filial piety, but also never abandons his childhood sweetheart's adoptive mother after being rich, and can also regard beauty as floating clouds...... That's a good thing to say, what a good boy. ”
The plague god is a good boy! Or the son of sincerity?
Queen Mother, what kind of logic is this old man! Although the people who serve in Cining Palace don't go out often, they also know a lot about Xie Hong's deeds, especially Xie Hong's design to earn Wang Yue, and Wang Yue's tears in the Qing Palace, everyone knows that everyone knows about it, such a person is sincere? Trick the devil to go.
Except for the supreme mother and son, everyone in Cining Palace lowered their heads and opened their mouths...... If it weren't for the fact that the person who spoke was the queen mother, she couldn't lose her temper in front of the holy car, and Cining Palace would have fallen a long time ago, and there would be mourning all over the country.
"Yes, Queen Mother, Xie Hong also said that he would find some livelihood for the two uncles in the future, so as to restrain them, they are always messing with flowers and grass outside." Zhengde saw that the strategy was effective, and he spared no effort to beat the side drum.
"So?" Empress Dowager Zhang smiled kindly, very happy, "That's the best, with such a good boy helping the emperor, the mourning family will be relieved." Another day, you bring that child into the palace and let the mourning family see it in person. ”
"Mother, you will love him." Zhengde is also very happy. He likes to mess around at the same time, and he is also a very filial child. In the past, Empress Dowager Zhang was relatively strict, and every time she saw her, he was a little worried, but this time she coaxed the old lady to be happy, and praised herself again and again, can he not be happy.
I'm telling the truth, I just memorized the lines today, which made you so happy, if the eldest brother came in person, wouldn't you let the queen mother smile from ear to ear? The eldest brother said, this is called watching people take drugs and do what they like.
Well, there's no problem with the queen mother's side, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with the eldest brother's side, and then it's the last step, after it's done, you can ask the eldest brother for something new, what do you want? I've got to think about it.
Everything went well, but when he got out of Cining Palace, Zhu Houzhao was worried.
