Chapter 52: The Emperor's Family Affairs (1)
Liu E saw Emperor Zhenzong's strong words, so she said: "Anyway, the princess is your biological daughter, you can do it yourself!" β
Zhenzong scratched his scalp and said, "This matter is really embarrassing, it's better to be like this, and I will discuss it with the ministers when I have time." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Liu E smiled and said: "Official, stop quickly, this is our own family matter, and you are embarrassed to tell the ministers." β
Zhenzong shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what you said is also right, let me think about this matter carefully!" β
Although Emperor Zhenzong said so, there are some things that cannot be hidden.
As everyone knows, the emperors in the past not only summoned civil and military officials in the Xuande Palace, but sometimes held a small meeting.
One day, Emperor Zhenzong summoned five ministers, including Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, Zhang Qi, Ding Wei, and Li Di, to discuss a few militaristic matters in the Yangxin Palace, and after Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand listlessly and said: "It's not early, everyone go back to the house to rest!" β
The five ministers said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." Turning around and walking out, Wang Qinruo, who has always been good at observing words and feelings, looked back and found that Emperor Zhenzong was still sitting sullenly on the dragon chair, so he turned back and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are full of sorrow. β
When Kou Zhun and the others saw that Wang Qin was like this, they had no choice but to stop.
Emperor Zhenzong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Aiqing, it's nothing, I'm just a little upset!" β
Wang Qinruo said: "I don't know why Your Majesty is upset, Weichen is willing to share the burden for Your Majesty." β
Zhenzong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is all a matter of my own family, don't say it!" β
At this time, Kou Zhun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is a bad word, although the royal matter is small, it is also related to the fortune of the country." β
Emperor Zhenzong was worried about the princess's affairs, and he also wanted to find someone to spit out the bitterness in his heart, so he said: "Okay, but if I say it, you Aiqing must not laugh." β
Ding Wei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are all your subordinates, how can we laugh!" β
Emperor Zhenzong sighed and said, "Alas, then I will be cheeky to talk to a few of you and see what good ideas you can have!" Then he told me about the eldest princess of the country.
The five ministers looked at each other when they heard this, but none of them said a word.
Emperor Zhenzong saw that everyone was silent, so he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't all stand there and don't speak, let's see if you can help me think of a perfect solution." It's okay if everyone is wrong! β
Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister has a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. β
Zhenzong became interested when he heard it: "Wang Aiqing, tell me quickly, what is the bottom of the kettle." β
Wang Qinruo coughed and said: "Your Majesty, this eldest princess is in love with that Ding Qian, no wonder it is a matter of children's affection, the princess is not young, and it is normal to love the last young man, but she has few contacts, so that Ding Qianqian has an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as we choose a good colt for the princess, I think the princess will forget the kid surnamed Ding." β
When Zhenzong heard this, he said happily: "This plan is very good! I just don't know if Aiqing has a suitable candidate in her heart! β
Wang Qinruo nodded again and again: "Yes!" Of course, there are so many young talents in the family of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, don't there are a few candidates for horses. β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "Okay, you name a few, let me listen, that one can be worthy of the princess." β
Wang Qinruo pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen looks at Bi Da, the son of the former prime minister Bi Yuan, very well. β
Emperor Zhenzong looked at the other ministers and said, "I have also heard that Bi Yuan has such a son, but I haven't seen it, I don't know what you guys think?" β
Ding Wei, Li Bian, Zhang Qi and others, look at me, I see that you didn't speak, only Brigadier Kou shook his head like a rattle and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to push the princess into the fire pit, simply dispel this idea." β
Emperor Zhenzong glanced at Kou Zhun and said, "Kou Aiqing, what you said is too unreasonable, and there is that father who pushes his daughter into the fire pit, where does this come from." β
Kou Zhun straightened his waist and said: "Your Majesty, you are often in the palace, you don't know, although Bi Da is Bi Yuan's son, but his father's benefits This kid has no inheritance at all, and he knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, how can such a person be worthy of the princess." β
Emperor Zhenzong listened and said, "Since that's the case, that's it." Then he asked, "Then there is that son-in-law who can be my son-in-law!" β
Wang Qinruo thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng, the son of the Li Xin family, is a jade tree and is quite talented, so he can be worthy of a princess." β
Before Emperor Zhenzong could speak, Kou Zhun immediately said, "No, no, never." β
This Li Xin served as the prime minister in front of Kou Zhun for three years, and when Kou Zhun was still participating in the certificate, he once recommended Ding Wei to Li Xin, but he was unceremoniously blocked back by Li Xin, and said: "Ding Wei has bad intentions and cannot be reused!" Kou Zhun made a big red face because of this, and since then he has a prejudice against Li Xin in his heart, and now when he heard Wang Qinruo make a statement to the emperor again, let Li Xin's son Li Zheng take the horse, how can this be, so he stood up and crossed a bar. Emperor Zhenzong asked in surprise, "Kou Aiqing, why is this!" β
Kou Zhun is also a treacherous and cunning person, and he can't say that he obstructed this matter because he had a prejudice against Li Xin, so he said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have heard of the title of the Four Great Princes of the capital. β
Emperor Zhenzong lived in the palace every day, and when he could hear these things in the streets and alleys, he said, "What are the four princes of the capital!" β
So Kou Zhun snapped his fingers and said: "Your Majesty, the four princes of the capital refer to Chen Lang, the son of Yin Chen Changzhou of Kaifeng Prefecture, Qiu Yucheng, the uncle of Lu Mengzheng, the former prime minister of the dynasty, Bi Da, the son of Bi Yuan, and one is Li Zheng, the son of Li Xin. β
Emperor Zhenzong listened disapprovingly and said: "What's this, a few young people are getting together, but it's just to see how many people are lively, it's not okay!" β
Kou Zhun waved his hand again and again and said: "Non, non, these people are just getting together to be lively, they are colluding, embarrassed, together they are looking for flowers and asking willows, rampant and domineering, causing trouble, not doing good things, the people of the capital are afraid of their Lao Tzu's might and dare not speak out, so they gave these four people the title of the four sons of the four princes." β
Emperor Zhenzong said angrily when he heard this: "How can this be true, the son does not teach, the father's fault, tomorrow I will order the parents of these four beasts to discipline them strictly." Then he slapped the table and yelled at Wang Qinruo: "Wang Qinruo, what do you think, you dare to use these things as a candidate for a horse!" β
Wang Qinruo hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers don't know what the four princes have done!" β
Zhang Qi said beside him: "Your Majesty, don't blame those who don't know, Lord Wang is also out of kindness." β
This Zhang Qi had helped Zhenzong, who was still the prince, to take in Liu E, and he was very trusted by Emperor Zhenzong, since he had spoken, this bit of face still had to be given, Zhenzong said: "That's good, I don't blame those who don't know, Wang Aiqing, stand up!" β
Wang Qinruo stood up at this time, glared at Kou Zhun fiercely and stepped aside, Kou Zhun ignored Wang Qinruo, and looked up at the roof triumphantly.
Kou Zhun offended a lot of people at this time, not only offended Wang Qinruo, but also offended Bi Xin, Chen Changzhou, Lu Mengzheng, and Li Yuan.
At this time, Li Di, a scholar of Jixian Palace, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea!" β
Emperor Zhenzong moved his buttocks, which had been sitting for a long time and was a little numb, and said, "Tell me about it!" β
Li Di said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to abide by the orders of his parents in marriage since ancient times, and if the matchmaker says, we can find the elders of Ding Qian, and everyone will sit together to discuss how to deal with this matter." β
Emperor Zhenzong said: "How can this be, that Ding Qian is just a small building materials merchant, and he is not the right person to be a household." Why don't you want to be born in a minister's family! β
Li Di smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, although Ding Qian's father is a businessman who started a building materials shop, Ding Qian has a very great uncle!" β
Emperor Zhenzong listened and asked with interest, "Why haven't I heard anyone say it?" Li Aiqing, tell me quickly, this Ding Qian's uncle is that amazing character. β
Li Di glanced at Ding Wei with ill will and said, "Your Majesty, the uncle of Ding Qian that the minister said is far away in front of you!" β
Emperor Zhenzong is not stupid, Ding Qian's uncle must also be surnamed Ding, isn't there a person surnamed Ding in this room! So he glanced at Ding Wei and said, "Ding Aiqing, the uncle of Ding Qian that Li Gugu said is you!" β
Ding Wei heard that his heart was broken, this Li Di actually bypassed himself, it seems that this is not good for those who come, and good people are not coming.
Although Li Di and Ding Wei were both Jinshi during the three years of Taizong's Chunhua, they have always had political disagreements, and since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other, so although the two have a friendship with classmates, they have always been secretly competing with each other, giving each other a stumbling block.
If you look at the words of these two people, it can indicate that they cannot get along with each other.
The words of the literati in the Song Dynasty were not casual, but contained personal ideals and value orientations.
Ding Wei is a public word, of course, he likes to make some remarks, and his remarks are often unconventional, in modern words is very avant-garde, with a kind of enterprising edge. And he always takes Cao Cao and Sima Yi as an example, everyone knows what kind of people Cao Cao and Sima Yi are, how many people scold the traitors, such a person, you Ding Wei secretly worship as a god in your heart, it is unavoidable, but, but, this Ding Wei came to one, love, and I wanted to shout out loudly: "I Ding Wei is Cao Cao, Sima Yi's loyal fan." β
At the same time, Ding Wei does have real talent and learning, and read and remember, never forget, after Zhao Heng ascended the throne to become the supreme ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to win the hearts of the people, every spring will invite a certain level of ministers and bachelors, in the inner garden to hold a flower viewing and fishing banquet, once Emperor Zhenzong began to hook from the morning, until noon, did not catch a fish, Emperor Zhenzong stretched his face, everyone present felt very embarrassed, but did not know what to say, at this time, Ding Wei stepped forward and sang a poem casually:" The warbler frightened the phoenix and wore the flowers, and the fish was afraid of the dragon's face and took the bait late, "This sycophant shot the Emperor Zhenzong Longyan Dayue, because Ding Wei was witty and empathetic, and he was appreciated by Emperor Zhenzong, and his official position was repeatedly promoted.
Li Di has a retro character, has an ancient style for people and politicians, and often does things in the old ways, he has always taken Zhuge Liang and Fang Xuanling as models in his heart, and he must follow the ancient precepts and follow the ancient etiquette in everything he does, so he can't look down on Cao Cao and Sima Yi's self-proclaimed Ding Wei, the two of them can't pee in the same pot, and they are incompatible. Not only can the two not get along, but they also fight from time to time, of course, this is the kind of intrigue between cultural people, although they can't see the sword and sword, it is also a joke to pick out their eyes and clean up the dead hand.
Therefore, Li Di wanted to use the matter of Ding Qian and the princess to hit Ding Wei's arrogance.
Li Di's idea is that since you Ding Wei and Na Ding Qian are called uncles and nephews, but you don't say anything about it from the emperor, it is the crime of bullying the king, if the emperor really has to recognize Ding Wei's crime, then Ding Wei will come to a potato-like home from the court - get out, and he just got rid of a political enemy.
When Ding Wei heard Li Di push himself to the front of the stage, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, yes, that Ding Qian used to call me uncle, but this is all out of politeness, just acting on the spot, in fact, he is not Weichen's nephew at all." β
Li Di sneered and said: "Hmph, Lord Ding, why isn't this Ding Qian your nephew, is your uncle also called casually, why don't I have the luck to meet someone who calls me Uncle Li Guru!" β
Ding Wei knelt on the ground and said to Zhenzong: "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Chen family have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for generations, and Ding Qian has lived in the Yellow River Valley for generations, which is simply not something that can be pulled by eight poles." β
Li Di quoted the classics and said: "Your Majesty, you should know the story of Kong Rong's visit to Yin Li in Henan during the Three Kingdoms period, although the surnames of Kong and Li are different, there is still a good relationship between the source of the millennium, not to mention the people with the same surname, there are people with the same surname who said that they were the same family five hundred years ago, maybe this Ding Qian and Ding Wei climbed from the branch and that vein in the Ding family!" β
