Chapter 155: Brothers, Monarchs, and Ministers
Cangshan and Liaodong Hou Mansion stand side by side in the pear flower workshop, the handsome flag flutters in front of the Cangshan Hou Mansion, the six poles are lined up left and right, and it is very majestic to insert it on the wooden frame in front of the house. A few days ago, the grand occasion of the two marquis returning to Beijing was still talked about by the people of the capital, when the prince wore a full set of prince's clothes, and personally led the war horse of Niu Tianci into Fengtianmen. At that moment, there was thunder of joy inside and outside Fengtianmen, and the people rushed to witness the heroic appearance of the youngest prince of Dayan and the youngest marshal of the border pass. Flowers and applause are all fur, and the delicate show of love of the beauties is the most shocking.
"Niu Tianci~~~~, I like you."
"I'm going to marry you~~~~."
"I'm going to be your lover~~~~~~."
In short, as long as Niu Tianci is willing, Cangshan Houfu will be beautiful like clouds and peach blossoms in the blink of an eye. Dayan is in an eventful autumn, Dayan is full of smoke, and the thieves are like carp crossing the river. The people are looking forward to the emergence of a hero, who will put down the civil strife in one fell swoop and give the people a bright future, and Niu Tianci is the only hero candidate in the minds of the people.
The chief manager of the two Hou Mansions, Niu Wo Groove, has become a hot figure in the capital, and many people who come to see Niu Tianci, regardless of the size of their official position, are respectful to Niu Wo Groove, which makes Niu Wo Groove's self-esteem have been greatly satisfied.
For a variety of considerations, Niu Tianci only asked Wen Wen'er to accompany him back to the capital, because he had to wait for Emperor Suzheng to give him a marriage, so Tian Cui also returned to the capital with his brothers. This is a must, since she has the identity of Rui Guo's concubine, it is still appropriate to meet with the cheap father. Besides, the two families are surnamed Tian, and they were one family five hundred years ago, so it is still necessary to contact the feelings.
Rui Guogong Tian Qi and his family were lonely for half a lifetime, and when they saw Tian Cui, who was like a flower and jade, they couldn't control their feelings, and they cried with their heads and cried. This situation made Long Xingrong a little suspicious, could this Tian Cui really be Rui Guogong's lost daughter? Yancui was kind and couldn't see the old people suffering, and when she saw the shabby Rui Guo Mansion, she remembered the difficulties of her biological parents, so with an order, the servants and maids invited the Rui Guo Gong and the old couple to the Liaodong Hou Mansion. In this way, the Tian family praised Mrs. Liaodong Hou for her kindness, knowledge, and truth, and she was definitely the head of the Liaodong Hou Mansion. As a result, there is an endless stream of people who want to climb relatives. Tian Yancui asked Tian Qi and his wife because of this, and Tian Qi smiled coldly and said: "Yancui, everyone in the world climbs high and steps low, and these people also climbed when the family road was okay. But when I and your mother-in-law are in the middle of the road, they beg everywhere but no one really helps, and these relatives ignore it. β
Yancui, who was born in poverty, has naturally seen a lot of such things, and understands that Tian Qi and his wife really treat themselves as daughters. So as soon as she discussed with Wang Meng and Tianci, she met Fengtianfu Yin in the name of pretending to be an official relative, and Fengtianfu Yin acted vigorously and resolutely to clean up these so-called relatives. The reputation of Mrs. Hou of Liaodong for showing off her wisdom, distinguishing between right and wrong, and acting decisively and pungently spread throughout the capital.
The two Hou mansions look like two houses from the outside, but when you enter the door, they are one. The middle partition wall had already been broken down to build a cloister, so that the two families could visit the door along the cloister. Wang Meng has no father and mother since he was a child, so he naturally knows what it is like to be lonely and helpless, and he also treats Tian Qi and his wife as relatives. The tears of the old couple of Tian Qi were moved.
Niu Tianci discovered the value of Tian Qi, don't look at it as a fictitious countryman, but the family is the family, Tian Qi is very clear about the origin of the Dayan family and the thoughts and thoughts of each family now, which is simply to send a consultant to Niu Tianci. The Tianci brothers are now the time to turn red and purple, and it is inevitable that there will be a place that is not well taken care of, even if there is a careful arrangement between Wenwen'er and Yancui, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, thanks to Tian Qi's guidance on the side, a lot of trouble has been avoided. Therefore, ************** statement is very reasonable.
It has been several days since the Tianci brothers returned to Beijing, and Emperor Suzheng has not summoned them by decree, but Long Xingrong has to visit the Tianci brothers every day. Every time he came, the prince's guard of honor was neatly arranged, and Long Xingrong was also well-dressed. When they arrived at the door, Tianci and Wang Meng also had to follow the etiquette, first greet him, and then invite Long Xingrong into the mansion. This once a day is really a brotherly love in the eyes of others, and the monarch and the minister are harmonious. But the chief manager Niu Wo always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to ask Niu Tianci, so he quietly asked Wen Wen'er.
"Madam, why do I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the same as before? You see, His Royal Highness didn't know when he would come, and he didn't need to be greeted by the old slave when he came, and he went directly into the house. Now it's good, first the subordinate officials will report, and then the whole guard of honor will come, no matter what the Hou Ye is doing, he must wait in front of the mansion to greet him. His Royal Highness doesn't come empty-handed, and the brothers are also very affectionate, but why do I think there seems to be a layer between His Highness and the Hou Ye? Madam, is the old slave thinking too much? β
"Chief Niu, Your Highness has reached adulthood and will become the king of a country in the future, and the monarch and the courtiers cannot be too close. This is the end of these words, and do not speak to anyone else. β
"Yes. Alas, when Hou Ye first entered Beijing, His Royal Highness and Hou Ye were so affectionate, just like their own brothers, and the old slave liked it when he saw it. At that time, although it was not as luxurious as it is now, it was a feeling of joy from the bottom of my heart, and I had the energy to do anything. Now that His Royal Highness has grown up, he has also commanded the army to fight, so the momentum is naturally different. Madam, is this the saying that a companion is like a companionβ"
"Steward, be cautious, go get busy."
"Oh, the old slave is busy, what else does the lady command?"
"Prepare some gifts, my husband and uncle are going to visit Qin Guogong in the afternoon."
"Yes."
Wen Rou'er looked at the cow manager who walked away, and felt a little lost in her heart. Women are sensitive, and gentleness grew up with Long Xingrong, how could they not know the changes in Long Xingrong. She knew that Long Xingrong was establishing his prestige in front of everyone, and making the righteousness of the monarch and the minister the mainstream of her future dealings with God. It should be said that Long Xingrong is right to do this, after all, Long Xingrong is the future emperor, if he just blindly pays attention to brotherhood, it will inevitably affect the future governance of the government and government, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among other ministers. It will also make Long Xingrong look forward and backward because he thinks too much about brotherhood, which is bound to make Long Xingrong feel guilty, and it is very possible for brothers to become strangers over time.
Wen Wen'er also knew that Long Xingrong must be unwilling to do this from the bottom of his heart, but he had to do this, he must be very painful, which is why he has to bring a bunch of gifts every time he comes. Wen Wen'er reminded Tianci that in the future, Long Xingrong should be regarded as a monarch, and he could treat each other as brothers in private. Niu Tianci and Ben didn't need to be gently reminded that they had been doing very well, and even when Long Xingrong led the horse for him when he first returned to Beijing, he only walked seventy-nine steps before turning over and dismounting, and paid homage to Long Xingrong. Wen Wen'er knew that this was a godsend trying to maintain Long Xingrong's prestige and face, and trying to maintain this friendship between brothers.
Wen Wen'er felt that she had to help Tianci maintain a good relationship with the prince, she thought that fame and fortune were not the most important thing compared to the true feelings between brothers, she persuaded Niu Tianci in this way, and she did so. Since returning to Beijing, Wen Wen'er has gone to the palace to find the queen every once in a while, and she has really fulfilled the filial piety that a child should have for Emperor Suzheng and the queen. Wen Wen'er's actions not only moved the queen, but even Emperor Su Zheng, who had never paid much attention to these details, couldn't help but ask if he had quarreled with Tianci and whether he needed to support him.
Looking at Emperor Suzheng and the Empress who regarded themselves as their own daughters, Wen Rou'er couldn't help but tell the current situation between Long Xingrong and Niu Tianci.
The queen was naturally at a loss, and Emperor Su Zheng smiled after thinking for a while, and it could be seen that he was really happy.
"Don't worry about Rou'er, Rong'er and Tianci are paving the way for adapting to the future pattern. You can now imagine that Rong'er is seated on the throne of Taihe Palace, and Tianci is standing at the foot of the imperial stairs to state the government. Don't you think the two of them are in a normal relationship now? β
"Father, can't a monarch have true friendship?"
"Alas, this is the price you have to pay to be an emperor."
Wen Rou'er retracted her thoughts and went to the door of the study, but she was about to push the door in but stopped because she heard the sound of an argument coming from the study.
"I don't care who came up with this idea, I just ask His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't feel at ease by handing over the Far East to the son of the army. The son of the army, the great general Ulit, is flying and domineering, and I have been suspicious of him since he killed the outcasts. Moreover, the sons of the army are not familiar with the situation of the Far Eastern Army, and they have no combat experience in the Far East, so I am worried that the results of the bloody battles of the soldiers will be lost in their hands. β
"Big brother, I know that you have a grudge in your heart when you were transferred from the Far East, and if I was transferred out when the great work was about to be completed, I would be even angrier than you. But eldest brother, your father has given you so many rights, and you have become the youngest border commander and the youngest festival envoy in Dayan, so why are you not satisfied. β
"Xingrong! Do you think that I am resentful because I have not been able to achieve greater achievements, and do you think that being a brother is a jealous and capable person? Although the Far East is far away, it is a matter of the safety of Dayan Sheji, and the identity of the son of the army is suspicious, how can the Far East be controlled. β
"So what should I do? Do you want me to tell my father that your decision is wrong, and you must listen to me and my eldest brother? And I thought that now the Far East is not important, it is important to calm down the civil strife as soon as possible. Don't you think it's pointless to put the lion of the Flying Tiger Legion in the Far East and catch those Rong rebels who are hiding in Tibet like rats? Even if the son of the army is incompetent, even if he is not a tiger, it is always okay to be a hound, and it should be okay to let the hounds catch mice, right? Besides, isn't it too much for you to drive the Ulit clan from Liaodong to the Far East, and also detain the Ulit clan in the Heavenly Wolf Protectorate. It is true that Ulit is of an alien race, but there are also many foreign generals in my Dayan army who shed their blood for Dayan, why are you only angry with the sons of the army, they will also be one of my pro-army in the future, does the eldest brother want me to mediate disputes between you two every day in the future? Big brother, you are going to be in and out of the picture in the future, and you should be broad-minded, right? β
"I will definitely be broad-minded to my own people, but I can't be broad-minded to the sons of the army. Not for anything else, just because they killed the homeless people regardless of the good and the bad, so that the people of Jiangnan were resentful of the imperial court, and now Jiangnan and the imperial court are divided into rivers and ruled by the bane, and the bane is the atrocities of the sons of the army. The words of the king of Wuzhou not only represent himself, but also represent the voice of the entire Jiangnan people. If it weren't for this, when the puppet Qin Wu Sheng was executed, Jiangnan would have already taken the initiative to join the imperial court, so why would there be a defeat in crossing the river. β
"Big brother, Lone didn't listen to your words and sent troops without authorization, and the army was defeated in Wuzhou, which is Lone's fault. But Jiangnan was rebellious and arrogant, and he actually asked his father to kneel down and ask for guilt, so rebellious and unscrupulous could tolerate him. β
"As the prince of the Prince of Dayan, you should obey the will of the people at this time and make amends to the people of Jiangnan on behalf of Your Majesty. If you do this, the king of Wuzhou will be unpopular if he goes against the court again. The imperial court's crusade against Jiangnan will be justified, and it will also reduce the resentment of the people in Jiangnan against the imperial court. You temporarily lost face in exchange for Dayan Jinou, and the people's hearts were attached, don't you know which is more important? β
"Big brother! Lone is the crown prince and the future emperor of Dayan. You should know what the historian will do if he does this? Do you want me to be the first emperor in history to sin before he ascends the throne? β
Niu Tianci looked at Long Xingrong, who looked like an angry little rooster, and his eyes were full of disappointment. He found that Long Xingrong had really changed, and he almost didn't know him, where was that kind and bold Long Xingrong who liked to stick to himself. (To be continued.) )
