43 Oriental Family Affairs

Liangzhou City, the capital of Xiliang Province, the hometown of Dongfang Mingyue.

I suspect this is Liangzhou City, because it is completely different from the last time I saw Liangzhou City.

The streets are brand new stone slabs, the buildings are brand new masonry, the wood is Yunnan purple shirts, the trees are phoenix trees that have been transported thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River, and the ditches are flowing with clear mountain spring waterβ€”these are completely absent the last time Liu Xing occupied Liangzhou City.

Oriental Shifu, the former residence of Oriental Mingyue.

I don't have to wonder if this is the former residence of Dongfang Mingyue, because this thing is certainly not. They demolished all three Oriental Mansions and built a Super Oriental Mansion. I would love to say that Dongfang Mingyue was born here, however, I can't say it, because, this is not true. The place where Dongfang Mingyue was born no longer exists.

Suddenly remembered a sentence: The new painting of the tree hut is not ancient, and this person must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Well, on this great day, I shouldn't have said that. However, I just subconsciously have a feeling of sadness - Xiliang has spent too much money for this time.

In addition to livestock, Xiliang didn't even produce a single grain, let alone stone, wood, gold, silver, copper, and iron, how did they rebuild Liangzhou City and Dongfang's family mansion? To build such a city on the grassland, to build such a garden in the city, just for a provincial visit? Haven't people read "Dream of Red Mansions"? Do they know the meaning of power? Could it be that if you win the smile of the queen and the emperor, you will have power?

Oh, they haven't seen the real "Dream of Red Mansions".

In the King James "Dream of Red Mansions", the prosperous Jia family has always been prosperous.

Actually, I don't know what the "real Dream of Red Mansions" is.

In fact, there are countless versions of "Dream of Red Mansions", but I think one of them is the most true, and in that version, everyone died in the end.

Yes, everyone died, just like a firework, which bloomed like stars in the sky at the beginning, and then fell one by one like meteors, and finally, dust returned to dust, and earth returned to earth, and this flower did not even have a seed left.

And so it all ended.

The Rongfu Jiafu in "Dream of Red Mansions" began to decline from the provincial relatives, and this provincial relatives are like the provincial relatives of the Dongfang Family.

Hey, look at my crow's mouth, how can this work!

Maybe it's just overthinking? The Tang Dynasty is not bad, there are no traitors and ministers, and the emperor is okay. Although the provinces are self-reliant, they have not been called emperors, so they still recognize him as the emperor. As long as the various "cults" are appeased, and then wait for Liu Xingchao to die, won't the next prosperous era be?

- However, what is certain in the world? It can't be said that Li Hongsi has a good relationship with me, he must create a prosperous dynasty, right?

I looked at the lively Liangzhou City, the luxurious Oriental Mansion, and the happy crowd, and I had the same idea in my heart.

The provincial banquet was held in the newly built Oriental Hall.

Emperor Li Hongsi, Empress Dongfang Mingyue, and Empress Pu Qinghong sat on the main seat; Governor Dongfang Chengding sat in the deputy seat; The rest of them sat in other positions - the most important of them were probably Zhu Zhaowan, the lord of Daming, and Zhu Mengzi, the princess of Daming. I don't know if I should put the word "former" in front of their names. The Tang Dynasty didn't say they were, nor did it say they weren't. The Tang Emperor Li Hongsi was born as a prince of the previous dynasty and was not very sensitive to the problems of the previous dynasty.

Everyone is lively and lively, and it is a prosperous scene.

Zhu Zhaowan, the former lord of Daming County, that is, the emperor's aunt, stood up and said, "That old guy from Dongfang Chengping, why don't you pass the title to Dongfang Yongbai?" ”

The banquet immediately went cold.

Damn, what is this! Why do people want to pass it on to Dongfang Yongbai, and why? He shouldn't have been passed on in the first place! Dongfang Yongwu is the eldest son, Dongfang Yongbai is the second son, why should he pass it on? And there is only one eldest son, and there are a bunch of second sons! If it is passed on to Dongfang Yongbai, then why not to dozens of Dongfang Yongbai's younger brothers? I am reminded of the difference between Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism. Confucianism is to pass on the family property to the eldest son, and Neo-Confucianism is to pass the family property to the youngest son. Either way, it's feasible, and they're all called traditional. But why did you pass on to Dongfang Yongbai, a person who is not close to each other?

Zhu Zhaowan's status was too high, and no one dared to say it, so the emperor had to say: "Okay, this is a family matter!" ”

Zhu Zhaowan: "Dongfang Yongbai is the most capable and contributes the most to the imperial court." ”

Yes, that's true, but it's useless. Dongfang Yongbai is indeed more capable than Dongfang Yongwu, and the army is also more powerful than him, but it is useless. At that time, Liu Xingchao's forbidden army beat the Ming Imperial Army and the government army from all over the country, and Zhu Zhaoding's government army could barely fight. To rob Xiliang to discuss military merits, do you want to give Xiliang to Liu Xingchao or Zhu Zhaoding?

Emperor: "It's not a matter of ability!" Yongwu is the eldest son! ”

Zhu Zhaowan: "Yongbai is your brother-in-law!" ”

The difference between Dongfang Yongwu and Dongfang Yongbai, in addition to the identity of the concubine, is that Dongfang Yongbai married the emperor's sister. However...... What is the reason for this? If a holy decree is given, what does the holy decree say? said: "Because Dongfang Yongbai is the emperor's brother-in-law, although he is the second son and a concubine, the emperor still decided to give Xiliang to Dongfang Yongbai." "How dare he say that?

The emperor was upset: "Auntie! You don't have to say a word! ”

Zhu Zhaowan: "I'm your aunt!" Who are you heading for? ”

Dongfang Yongwu looked around nervously.

Dongfang Yongbai lowered his head and did not speak.

Emperor: "Where is this?" It's okay, right? ”

Zhu Mengzi on the side also said to the emperor: "Brother! The two of us depend on each other, you have to be my master! What do you say? ”

She seemed to be about to burst into tears.

The emperor's face was gloomy: "You ......"

I had heard from Jinyiwei and the Intelligence Department that Zhu Mengzi had looked for Li Hongsi many times. Zhu Mengzi and Li Hongsi have the same father and mother, so they are naturally close. They used to be very good when they were princesses and princes of Daming, and they had a good relationship when they grew up.

For a while, Zhu Mengzi also wanted to change his name to Li Mengzi, but Li Hongsi disagreed. According to the laws of the ages, women are never allowed to change their surnames because they have no rights or obligations. Zhu Mengzi questioned Li Hongsi about changing his surname. The emperor said: "I changed my surname because I am not the eldest son and the second son of Yan - I was not born to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Mengzi asked Li Hongsi many times to give Xiliang to Dongfang Yongbai. At that time, Emperor Li Hongsi clearly told her: "Dongfang Yongwu is the son-in-law, and he has always done his best for the country." Not only is he right, but he is meritorious. You can't say that his credit is not as great as Dongfang Yongbai, so you can abolish him. ”

Zhu Mengzi went to the emperor again and again to tell him about this, and the emperor was annoyed. Even if the emperor wants to give Xiliang to Dongfang Yongbai, does his words count? This emperor was elected, and he didn't snatch it himself, what strength does he have? Even if he wanted to give Xiliang to Dongfang Yongbai, did Xiliang agree? If the emperor can do this, why can't he replace all the provinces under heaven with his own people? Why didn't he replace Mongolia, the Western Regions, and Jinling as well?

Ay! The royal family has been taught to be stupid, Zhu Hongfeng, Zhu Zhaowan, and Zhu Mengzi are all all the way.

No matter what Zhu Mengzi said, the emperor just didn't speak.

Zhu Zhaowan, the lord of Daming County, looked unhappy, and said to the emperor: "What about your elbow twisting out?" ”

When Emperor Li Hongsi heard this, he was immediately furious: "Today's child has just reached the full moon, and on the day of great joy, what are you doing with this!" The whole family of the East is a family with me! ”

Zhu Zhaowan: "But Yongbai kisses you!" ”

Dongfang Yongbai's face turned red. I guess he must have persuaded her many times - but this woman's IQ is too low. I don't know if Dongfang Yongbai regrets this family business? - I think about it, I still matched them. What a sin!

Emperor: "It's not like you didn't mention it!" How do I say that? ”

Zhu Zhaowan: "There are so many people, you have to make it clear!" You said that Xiliang will be forever white sooner or later, let me ask you, when is it? ”

This...... I think if she wasn't the emperor's aunt, but just the emperor's sister or something, the emperor could slap her.

At this time, Zhu Mengzi said to Dongfang Mingyue: "Sister, you speak." ”

Dongfang Mingyue once said to me that she supported Dongfang Yongbai, but she said again that she couldn't say this to anyone. In public, she does not support anyone. How can she support it? One is her eldest brother, and the other is her third brother! For Zhu Mengzi, she can only support her husband Dongfang Yongbai; For Dongfang Mingyue, those two are her brothers!

Dongfang Mingyue pursed her lips and did not speak.

At this time, Zhu Zhaowan also said: "If I ask you, you are talking!" You're the Queen. ”

Dongfang Mingyue still didn't speak.

I think stupid people don't know how to stop in moderation, and sure enough, Zhu Zhaowan continued to yeat her: "What about you!" ”

Dongfang Mingyue was very angry, and shouted in the direction of Zhu Zhaowan and Zhu Mengzi: "Shut up!" ”

Wow! Say this! At this time, the audience was quiet, and even the singers on the stage did not dare to move.

Dongfang Yongbai wanted to speak, but his mouth moved and he didn't speak.

Zhu Mengzi was taken aback and closed her mouth.

Zhu Zhaowan was taken aback, and immediately pointed to Dongfang Mingyue and said, "Okay, you dare to say this to your aunt!" ”

Zhu Zhaowan turned around and said to the emperor: "Take care of your wife, so unfilial!" ”

Emperor Li Hongsi ate chicken legs with his head bored.

At this time, Pu Qinghong got up and said to Zhu Zhaowan: "Auntie, we'll talk about this later." I'm going to tell you no today for my sister. ”

Zhu Zhaowan continued to count down Dongfang Mingyue: "Little girl! Temper your temper! How do you speak to me? ”

Pu Qinghong said to Zhu Zhaowan: "Auntie, I'll talk about this later, don't say it in front of anyone." ”

Zhu Zhaowan shouted: "This is our family's business, why can't we say it?" ”

Ten years ago, she could have said that. The world belongs to your family, and you can give it to whoever you want in any province. Ten years later, however, she shouldn't have said that. Zhu Hongfeng has learned a lesson, Zhu Honghua has learned a lesson, and she still has not improved.

Emperor Li Hongsi finished drinking a glass of wine, threw the wine glass on the table, and left.

The scene was as quiet as death.

This is the provincial pro-Dongfang Mingyue. I guess the Oriental family has spent a lot of effort, but it has obtained such a result, and it is definitely not very satisfied.

Dongfang Mingyue wanted to stay at home for a while longer, and Emperor Li Hongsi and Empress Pu Qinghong returned to Chang'an.

Ay!
