Chapter 809: East Palace is at your fingertips

In July and August, the biggest news in Luoyang was nothing else, it was Wang Yuanbao's decision to divide the family property into two parts and divide it equally among his two sons. Although he is only a businessman, because of Du Shiyi, a famous son-in-law, the business is becoming more and more prosperous, not to mention, the dignitaries and dignitaries are more able to cope with it. This time, Wang Yuanbao actually sent an extremely generous gift to Li Xian, the king of Ning, and asked him to come forward to testify for himself, and in addition, he invited Jiang Du, the prince of Chu Guo, and Dou Yi, the prince of Biguo, and several famous nobles and sons to come, and it was naturally known to everyone afterwards.

Even Li Longji couldn't help but summon his eldest brother King Ning into the palace, and asked with great interest about the feast at Wang Yuanbao's house. Li Xian has always been cautious, never befriending hundreds of officials, but he has never treated himself badly in terms of sound and pleasure, even in front of the emperor, when it comes to the treasures that Wang Yuanbao gave him, he still does not shy away from it at all: "The coral tree and jasper branches, red and green, such a treasure has never been seen." There is a jade seat on the seat, although it is still cold in midsummer, according to Wang Yuanbao, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which was given to him by a former Hu merchant in the Western Regions. In addition, there is an agarwood box that stores non-decaying, and a finger-sized pearl of the South China Sea......"

After finishing speaking, he remembered that when Wang Yuanbao officially decided to divide the family property after his death, the grand scene in the Lixian Hall of the Wang family's mansion, he couldn't help but sigh and admire: "In the Lixian Hall, Shen Tan is the threshold, the ground is stilted, and the brocade stone is the pillar base, so such a lobby, even I am almost tempted by it." After the feast, I went to the back garden, but I saw that the path was all copper coins threaded and buried in the mud, so that the mud and rain were not slippery. When I asked why he was so extravagant, Wang Yuanbao said that his family was poor and suffered too much, and even his children could only share a bowl of hot soup on Chinese New Year's Eve. Now that he is rich, he should be happy in time. Now let people witness that the family business has been divided, and he will no longer have any burden, but he will have wine today and get drunk today. ”

Li Longji invited King Ning to come, and Concubine Wu Hui was also snooping on the side, hearing that there was wine in the present and drunk in the future, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dare to ask Brother Ning, when Wang Yuanbao gave his daughter to marry, although he gave a lot of dowry, compared to the family business divided to his second son now, it doesn't seem to match the name of the beloved daughter in the mouth of others!" ”

Li Xian, the king of Ning, received a generous gift from Wang Yuanbao, coupled with Wang Yuanbao's famous absolute non-involvement in the political disputes of the imperial court, and the people who intersected were rich and noble, so he came forward to testify for him, coupled with Wang Yuanbao's promise, let people give him a more magnificent main hall in Chang'an than Lixian Hall, and he was naturally very satisfied with the generosity of the richest man in Guanzhong.

Hengzhu just said the truth, he smiled slightly: "Wang Yuanbao naturally loves his daughter, and he is not thin on his daughter, everyone praised him for his red makeup back then, but his daughters are all married, if the family property benefits his daughter, his two sons will be enough, his two daughters-in-law are originally virtuous and limited, aren't they going to fall out?" Aren't the grandchildren unwilling? Besides, he told me privately that his two daughters-in-law were staring at the family property all day long, and they would be relieved to divide them. Moreover, his daughter married Du Junli, because her husband has a good career and has an elegant livelihood to run a family, why should she be contaminated with copper stench? She has already been said to be a jealous woman, but she doesn't want to be said to be a jealous woman full of copper smell! ”

Chang'an is not only rich and rich Wang Yuanbao's family, Yang Chongyi and Guo Wanjin are also rich and generous, and celebrities in the field often linger in their homes, and even officials in the DPRK and China do not hesitate to associate with them. can be said to be the children's marriage to the official family, that is, Wang Yuanbao's first share. Therefore, when Li Xianyan, the king of Ning, said with emotion: "Wang Yuanbao gave birth to a good daughter, and he himself knows how to make a bowl of water even, and the children are impartial, so as to make the family harmonious, unlike Yang Chongyi who married a wicked woman, and his own life is not counted, and he still needs a green-clothed messenger to avenge his grievances!" ”

This is the case in which Yang Chongyi was murdered by his wife and adulterer when Zhang Shuo was still alive, but was solved by a parrot. When Ning Wang learned Wang Yuanbao's tone, he was proud and melancholy, and it was so vivid that Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but laugh at it. Li Longji even quipped: "When Du Junli was young, he was criticized by Sect Master Sima for being a noble girl, but he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law. Fortunately, he now has both children and daughters, so it doesn't matter, otherwise I would like to learn from Emperor Taizong's trial room Mrs. Xuanling, and see if his wife also likes to drink vinegar! ”

Saying this, Li Longji really doesn't care about the so-called rich people of the people, as long as they are just greedy for pleasure and vassal elegance, it doesn't matter. And Du Shiyi not only showed that he didn't want to be contaminated with copper for the sake of fame, but it was obviously also when he was proud, and he deliberately wanted to clean himself and not leave a stain for criticism. Originally, a young man in his early thirties, who cherishes his reputation, how can he think about self-pollution all day long?

And Concubine Wu Hui stayed by her side for a while, and because Li Longji called King Ning to play instrumental music on a whim, she quietly withdrew. Her henchman Yaoguang naturally followed behind her as if she had come to greet her, but said in a very low voice: "Captain Ma has just returned from Wu Wenyan. The few people mentioned by Concubine Hui, Wu Wenyan tried to get in touch. Most of them said that the one in the East Palace was neither a concubine nor the eldest son, but he just occupied the light that Concubine Li was favored back then, and it was really said that it was the best advocacy. Such a person occupies the East Palace, and he will reign over the world in the future, wouldn't it be a shame for the royal family? ”

Concubine Wu Hui immediately smiled proudly when she heard this. There are so many noble children in Liangjing, and she chose Yang Wei as a concubine for Princess Xianyi alone, precisely because he is inconspicuous and has no outstanding relatives, which can reassure the Son of Heaven. From the first few times she saw Yang Xun, she noticed that this person was smart and clever, and he was extremely good at drilling, as long as she hinted at it, he would take the initiative to inquire about a lot of news. and inherited the advantages of Princess Changning and Yang Shenjiao's handsome appearance, and Princess Xianyi was very satisfied with it. As for Yang Wei and Yang Xuanyan and Yang Xuanqi's brothers, there is still some kinship, it is an unexpected joy!

"Yang Wei is really good." Concubine Wu Hui bowed slightly, thinking that it was difficult for others to enter the palace, and Yang Xun, as a concubine, was convenient to enter the palace and did not attract people's attention, such a son-in-law was simply a natural helper!

can make Concubine Hui comment on a very good person, how rare it is for Yaoguang to know how rare it is. Even the jade slave who asked the Son of Heaven to give him the priceless Luosha Tan Pipa because of a pipa song before only got a little interesting evaluation from Concubine Wu Hui. In the harem with many beauties, the Wu girl who was not treated by the officials and the queen all the way through the thorns, and finally became the nameless but real lord of the harem.

When Yang Xun saw Wu Wenyan, Wu Wenyan said that the Wu family hoped that Concubine Hui would be able to let King Shou enter the East Palace, if so, the Wu family would see the light of day again. Therefore, he tried his best to send someone to meet Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, the envoy of Shuofang and Hedong Jiedu, and got a letter from Li Yi himself, which found out that although he was noncommittal about the abolition, he would never come forward to advise, and even faintly supported King Shou. King Xin'an is the most meritorious person in the clan, plus King Ning needless to say that he supports King Shou, King Wei is a wine bag and rice bag, King Guangwu nodded, not to mention it, and no one else will support the East Palace. As for the DPRK and China, Lee Sang-kook has already expressed his intentions, but it is Zhang Pei and the others who are worried. ”

"If everyone supports Eighteen Lang, His Majesty will be suspicious." After many years of husband and wife, Concubine Wu Hui has long understood Li Longji's suspicions, and instead of feeling annoyed at this moment, she laughed even more, "Moreover, Your Majesty seems to have no objections to the matter of the Taizhen Lady as the princess of Shou, and this is even more an indication that Your Majesty's heart has been completely biased towards Eighteen Lang." As long as you work little by little, the position of the East Palace is at your fingertips! ”

Yaoguang took a light breath, and then asked involuntarily: "But if King Shou marries the daughter of the Yang family, and Princess Xianyi marries the Yang family, will others gossip?" What's more, although the Taizhen lady no longer has any prominent relatives in the family, she is her ...... of the Longyou Jiedu Dashuai"

Concubine Wu Hui raised the corners of her mouth, and said casually: "The reason why I took a fancy to Yang Taizhen was to test His Majesty's mind. And she is really touching, I see pity, Eighteen Lang will definitely be satisfied, that's enough. As long as this matter is done, and the intention of His Majesty to abolish the establishment is clearly revealed, whether Du Junli continues to guard Longyou, whether he is still beautiful, it does not matter, His Majesty has his own holy judgment. He is still young, even if he falls, for the sake of my daughter-in-law in the future, Eighteen Lang and I will not treat him badly. ”

The lord and the two of them walked and said, so he took the palace maid and eunuch who followed from afar and left the Anfu Hall on the west side of the Taiye Pool. After a long time had passed, among the dozen or so eunuchs standing at the base of the wall like stakes, some of them moved their stiff shoulders slightly. Although Concubine Wu Hui and Yaoguang's voices were as low as mosquitoes flying, they still couldn't hide that he had sensitive ears and could catch the lowest slight voice, and at that moment he was even so frightened that he was almost exposed! It wasn't until it was getting dark, that he was finally able to end the day's life and return to his cramped and low lodging, but he did not go to bed early with his companions.

In the middle of the night, the seemingly unremarkable eunuch was brought before Colliers, and almost without omission, he reported everything to the truth. After hearing these words, Gao Lishi didn't even blink his eyelids, but just gave a faint order: "Take him down, reward." ”

When the eunuch left gratefully, Gao Lishi groaned with some annoyance. Concubine Wu Hui is obviously very clear about Li Longji's bottom line, and is testing it little by little, if it goes on like this, the prince will definitely not be able to keep it. His purpose was to be the icing on the cake, and he should have stood by and watched. However, even if the crown prince can't keep it, is the position of the East Palace really ironclad?

After thinking about it, he finally made a decision and summoned a confidant who had been with him for 20 years: "Tomorrow, you go to the Anguo Female Taoist Temple and send me a generous gift to Princess Yuzhen, just say that I congratulate her." In addition, you remember to show a little bit of a mouth, saying that you can't have it both ways, as long as you are young, you can get up if you fall. ”
