Qi Li said that like Qin Gong, he is as scheming as he is, and he doesn't need to fight for his children's afternoon, and he doesn't have to worry about his intentions. As the saying goes, you must win over yourself when making friends, and it is better to be like yourself than nothing. As far as Xu Wenhan and Yang Zhi understand, this is obviously a kind of training for Qin Gong's successor, but what maybe even Qin Gong didn't expect is that the training fee is not cheap.

The night is getting deeper, the wine is half-drunk, and the words have been spoken. When Qin Kongyun said goodbye and left, he symbolically congratulated Yang again. Yang Zhi was not very optimistic about the upcoming post-wedding "Qian Jing", and he was feeling a little painful, so he said: There is no need to be too polite between you and my brothers, and the congratulatory gift will be exempted. The cost of the wedding should be calculated by your Qin family. Let's talk about it today, I don't care about anything!

Yang Zhi opened his mouth, and Qin Kongyun knew that at least 100,000 taels of silver were gone. Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun hadn't understood the thickness of his face once or twice, so they could only look at each other and shake their heads and smile bitterly: Is there anything like you? How do you catch who and slander whom? Have you figured out who the wedding is for?

As Xu Wenhan analyzed, the emperor used Wang Yunong, Xu Wenhan, Chen Wenyuan, and Zhou Ting. Xun constructed a power system of both civil and military teams to ensure the normal operation of the Great Xia court. In the days after the emperor's assassination, Wang Yunong, Xu Wenhan, and Chen Wenyuan had to act as the daily government and organize the marriage for Yang Zhi with 120,000 spirits, and they were so busy that Qin Kongyun was deserved to be reduced to the role of both spending a lot of money and being fully responsible for running errands. What is depressing is that the Yang father and son, who should have been the main sons, really did what they said and did it, but became idlers who didn't care about anything.

Although the first sentence of the tone set by the three pillar ministers for the wedding was that it should not be publicized, this matter could not be covered up after all, and no one planned to deliberately cover it up. As soon as the emperor deposed Princess Changxiu's holy decree, the news that the Yang Mansion was then preparing to organize the wedding spread, and in less than half a day, it spread to everyone in Chang'an. The crown prince was defeated, the queen committed suicide, and Concubine Mei won the emperor's favor for her gentleness and virtuousness, and was naturally pushed to a high-profile position in the harem. In everyone's minds, it was only a matter of time before Concubine Mei was canonized as the queen. And Concubine Mei herself is also in the eyes of many concubines, chamberlains, and maidservants, and obviously feels a little more awe and flattery than in the past. Concubine Mei is not a mindless person, but the more careful she is about her words and deeds. However, after all, the mother and daughter are connected, and the daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is already pregnant, but she doesn't even have a reasonable reputation in the Yang family, how can she not worry about Concubine Mei? The emperor deposed Zhao Yan's holy decree, and Concubine Mei also guessed a little bit of the emperor's good intentions, but she thought that on the occasion of such an eventful autumn, the news of the marriage in the Yang Mansion was inevitably a little out of place, and she was quite uneasy.

On the night of the emperor's encounter, Concubine Mei, who was very worried, stayed up all night without closing her eyes. After thinking about it, on the sixteenth day of the first month, he called his son Zhao Qi to his room early in the morning: "Qi'er, I heard that Yan'er will get married in three days." Today's trend. Yan'er has been deposed by your father's decree. Chang'an has experienced great changes at a moment, and it is inconvenient for the mother to go out of the palace. Everyone in the world knows that you and Yang Zhi are good friends, and there are few taboos in and out of the palace on weekdays, so do you go to the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion today to take a look? ,, my poor Yan'er! I can't rest assured that I am a mother."

"Mother, dare you call me early in the morning, just for this? Zhao Qi said sleepily: "Forgive Erchen bluntly, the so-called concern is chaotic, you are thinking about it under the entanglement." It is a good thing that the fourth sister is married. What a happy event! Nothing to fuss about. The name of the father and the emperor is degraded, which is actually a grace. It's a matter of royal decency, so you have to find a staircase to go down, right? Can't you see that? It is precisely because of the great changes at the beginning that the Manchu Dynasty has no time to take care of other things, and the day before yesterday, the father and emperor found an opportunity to deal with Tian Zude, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and believed that the civil and military officials had neither the heart nor the courage to attack and defend this matter. In addition, my father may have another meaning. All in all. The timing of the father's will to depose the fourth sister was very appropriate, so that the father, mother, fourth sister and brother-in-law all had peace of mind

"As for the mother asking her son to go to the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion today to find out, it is best to avoid it. Now his father is troubled, but his sons are powerless to share their father's worries, and they honestly stay in the palace and don't go anywhere, which is to do their best filial piety. Besides, my brother-in-law doesn't necessarily have the heart and time to accompany me, so I went to be bored. There is another section, mother, think about it, after the queen committed suicide and the crown prince was deposed, how many pairs of eyes in the palace will be staring at our mother and son? Why choose this time to make yourself and others uncomfortable? ”

Concubine Mei heard what her childish but scheming son said, and immediately thought so: "Then according to your meaning, our mother and son will ignore Yan'er's marriage?"

Zhao Qi yawned and said: "If my mother must not be relieved, it doesn't hurt for Erchen to go to the Flying Tiger Marquis's mansion, but it's better not to go than to go." It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, and it's not that my sons are unwilling. It's not that you don't dare, but you don't have to. Even though the fourth sister was deposed, it was always the blood of her father, and three days later, the sons and daughters only went to drink the wedding wine generously. When the time comes, convey the mother's love to the fourth sister and brother-in-law, otherwise it will be unreasonable. If you are too careful, it will be easy to attract suspicion. ”

Concubine Mei couldn't help but weep and sighed: "Yan'er is usually arrogant, how can she make people suffer such a bad fate?" She fell in love with Yang Zhi, and was accepted as a righteous daughter by the old lady, so the marriage must not be shabby. I hope she won't be too wronged! ”

Zhao Qi comforted: "You don't want to think about it. What kind of character is my brother-in-law? How could the fourth sister be arrogant in front of him? An Guihou is extremely prominent, why did he end up with a ruined family? Isn't it because Li Yingsi's kid was blind and disrespectful to Shen Yu? Although the mother is relieved, no one can be wronged by the fourth sister. This is clearly a good match. How can it be a bad fate? It's just that there is a section where you really want to open some, and the fourth sister's marriage will never be shabby, but it is inevitable. ”

Concubine Mei frowned and asked, "Lonely?" What do you mean by that? I think that Yang Zhisheng Zhenglong has a great reputation. The old lady is also very virtuous in the government and the opposition."

Zhao Qi retorted: "So what? The fourth sister is pregnant before marriage, and everyone knows about it. Even if she is a princess, she has to depose her title before she can marry into the Yang Mansion as a flat wife.

Don't you think it's glorious? To put it bluntly, the fourth sister got married in order to have a proper status in the Yang family, and the father can barely have a step down, which is already very good. In fact, that's what it means, why should a mother have too high expectations? Why did the old lady accept the fourth sister as a righteous daughter? Don't talk about it, right? The brother-in-law is clear in his heart, and he definitely won't do a big deal

"This matter is extremely embarrassing for the royal family, and the ministers are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they not know how to make a fun come? It's Renfan Sister Gui is a strong father who can't afford to offend, they can offend the ghost father, not only is it difficult to say whether Yang Zhi will appreciate it, but he also has to risk angering his father, no one will do such a stupid thing. Only pretending to be deaf and dumb and turning a blind eye. is the most stable! Even the second brother and the third brother. They are all ambitious people, in order to avoid the suspicion of conspiring with the powerful ministers, the sons dare to say that the two elder brothers may not have the courage to drink the wedding wine. ”

Concubine Mei was silent for a long time, and sighed with a heavy expression: "It is said that the heavenly family is selfless, and even the family affection between brothers and sisters is nothing else."

Immediately, his face changed, and he solemnly admonished: "Qi'er, don't say this to anyone today!" Not even your father! As a mother, the biggest wish in this life is to hope that your sisters and brothers can be smooth and safe in your life! The swaggering and showing off to others is just a little cleverness, and the great wisdom is the real wisdom if it is foolish! You have to keep in mind that don't have any wrong thoughts, and be a carefree prince like your uncle Fuwang, that's the best! ”

Zhao Qi smiled: "The sons have their own measure, and they must be the teachings of Jiang Ji's mother." Uncle Huang? That's because his father didn't give him a chance not to get away. Even if there is such an opportunity in the future, it is by no means rare. He got up and stretched, lazily said, "If the mother has nothing else to do, the son will retire first." It's still early, and Erchen has to go back to the room to make up for sleep. Oh. By the way, when the son-in-law went to ask for his father's peace later, he wanted to ask for a visit to the East Palace to see his eldest brother by the way. ”

Concubine Mei was shocked: "What did you say? Now how can the East Palace be casually obtained? Never! ”

Zhao Qiman smiled nonchalantly: "Mother doesn't need to be so nervous. Didn't the retainers visit privately without a request, so what happened to them? The eldest brother has been deposed, I will go and see who he is hindering or what? Although the wall fell down, everyone pushed it. But after all, we are our own brothers! I remember my brother-in-law once said that if you are human, you have to be human, otherwise you are not human. ”

Concubine Mei thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "That's what I said." If your father agrees, go and see him. Just be careful with your words. ”

Xu Wenhan did not expect badly, from the day after the emperor's assassination, that is, from the sixteenth day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, the holy decree was issued like rain.

"This time the Tang Dynasty made a contribution in one fell swoop, and the whole territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty was relieved. From now on, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the emperor were all abolished, and the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu was enshrined as the Duke of Anping, and the family moved to Chang'an to live in the Longyuan Pavilion University Scholar Wang Yunong and the Six Divisions, according to the regional regulations of the previous dynasty, the government, prefecture and county were reset in the hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the town government office was an official. The prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty should be exempted from the exchange for three years for the sake of people's livelihood. Chin this".

"Wuwei General Geng Jin and his soldiers were ordered to defeat the Tang Dynasty and made outstanding achievements. Wuwei general Geng Jin Jin Jue second-class Weiyuan Gong, plus the title of prince and young prince. In addition, 3,000 pieces of silk and satin were rewarded, and 10,000 taels of gold. With its commander-in-chief, all the water 6 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, the general set up an Anqing garrison. The brave and resolute general Wei Feiyang was brave and good at fighting, and was awarded the third-class Marquis of Zhennan. Another 1,000 pieces of silk and satin and 5,000 taels of gold.

With 30,000 troops under his leadership to guard Jinling, it was still under the control of Geng Jin, the general of Wuwei. The vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty was deeply meritorious in the battle, and was promoted to the second-class earl, and was rewarded with 500 silk and satin horses and 2,000 taels of gold. He was transferred to the military department, and his soldiers and horses were handed over to Ye Chuang, the guard of Huangguan, on the spot. The rest of the generals who have made meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty can be played by the Wuwei general Geng Jin with a chapter and rewarded for their meritorious deeds. Privy Council Lieutenant Chen Wenyuan will join the Military Department and the Household Department. Acting in charge of the Tang Dynasty's compassionate rewards. Chin this! ”

"The second son of the emperor, King Ning Zhao Dang, guarded Xiangyang and rejected Chu, and the third son of the emperor, King Kang Zhao Dang, defended Youzhou and attacked Yan for many years, living up to the joint expectations and making great achievements. On the day of the arrival of the holy decree, the two kings handed over the troops and horses and their respective lieutenant generals, and returned to Beijing to report on their duties from the same day. Chin this! ”

"Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, is loyal, the third rank of the Jin Jue is loyal and straightforward, and the crown prince is less guaranteed, and he is rewarded with 1,000 silk satin horses and 5,000 taels of gold. He was also allowed to choose a son and be crowned a marquis. Geng Zhongyong, the deputy general of the forbidden army, was commendable, and was promoted to the second-class Dingbian Marquis, rewarded 500 pieces of silk satin and 2,000 taels of gold. Chin this! ”

"Wang Wenguangqin, the general of the forbidden army, was given the title of third-class earl, and was specially promoted to the deputy general of the forbidden army. The general of the forbidden army directly under the captain of the cavalry battalion, Yan Fang, has meritorious service, and he is specially promoted to the general of the Imperial Guard. The internal and external guards were merged on the same day and were under his command. Chin this! ”

"Zhao Tianyang, the general of the Imperial Guard of the original inner court, had ill intentions, and gathered the former Taiwei Weisu, Li Congyi, the Marquis of Angui, Li Zhongmin, the Marquis of Anxiang, Li Ruosong, the Marquis of Anning, and others, and hijacked the abolished prince Zhao Heng to plot rebellion. Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Temple, is fully responsible. The three departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of War are fully cooperating, and the case must be tried within one month. To be the world of audio-visual! Chin this! ”

"Queen Cha Li didn't know how to thank the emperor, and committed suicide in fear of crime because she tried to rebel and make trouble. However, Lian remembered that he had served for many years and had worked hard to manage the harem, so he took away the title of the queen and was buried according to Zhaoyi. The abolition of the crown prince Zhao Heng is the Wei family, because of the defeat of the abolished prince Zhao Heng and martyrdom, remembering his consistent gentleness and virtuousness, Tegarn is still buried with the gift of the crown princess. Chin this".

"Zha Xianyang wealthy businessman Huang Jixian and Jincheng wealthy businessman Guo Pei, who are uneasy and distracted, have different aspirations, and have colluded with the party of the abolished prince and secretly helped the golden silk. The prefects of Xianyang and Jincheng will take these two people on the same day. After strict interrogation, there are detailed rules and regulations, and there must be no mistakes! Chin this! ”

The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the prince's rebellion is followed by the emperor's assassination, as long as the emperor is willing, a casual sneeze can set off a shocking case, involving countless heads to the ground. In the past few days, when the civil and military officials went to court, they only trembled and listened to the decree, as long as their names were not mentioned in the holy decree, they would have recited Amitabha Buddha in their hearts, who would dare to let out more than half a fart without knowing whether they were dead or alive?

In any case, the emperor finally opened a new page in the post-crown era. Yang Zhi's wedding was set on the 19th of the first month, and in order to welcome her relatives decently, Zhao Yan was taken by her father-in-law Chen Wenyuan to live in the house on the 17th. By the 18th day of the first month, everything was ready. On the evening of this day, Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun naturally gathered in the Yang Mansion for a drink.

Compared to the secret discussion on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The atmosphere at the moment is undoubtedly much more relaxed. After listening carefully to Xu Wenhan's detailed description of the emperor's many wills, Qin Kongyun asked with a lot of grievance: "The reason why the emperor was able to thwart the rebellion of the prince's party is that my Qin clan can't see the light, and I don't even mention it, but the eldest brother and the third brother can definitely be called the core brains of this Qingtian protection, why don't you have so many wills?" Didn't the emperor promise his third brother a governor of the Great Xia Customs? Do you still want to collect it and wait for the price to rise? There are several wills that are also very different from the analysis of the eldest brother and the third brother that day, what is the emperor's intention? .
