Chapter 463: Encounter (2)
If Zeng Rong is just a little embroidery girl in the Shanggong Bureau, whether she is a distant relative of Xu Fushan or anyone else has little to do with it, after all, who doesn't have a few poor relatives?
But Zeng Rong jumped from a small embroidery girl to a female official in the inner chamberlain in just half a year, and within a few months became a female historian beside the emperor, which has to be suspicious and thought-provoking.
Not to mention, not long after Zeng Rong entered the palace, he provoked the second prince Zhu Heng, who was rumored to be suffering from a hidden illness and never showed up, accompanied Zhu Heng into Puji Temple, and also accompanied Zhu Heng to Taixue, the former was under the cover of the queen mother, and the latter was led by the emperor himself.
It's different.
This shows that Zeng Rong's identity has been unanimously recognized by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Is it possible for a little-known little girl from the countryside, without the support of the Xu family, to gain a foothold in the palace so quickly, and to enter the eyes of so many nobles so quickly?
Zeng Rong didn't know that rumors about her had long been flying all over the world, so after learning her identity, several people present, except for Wang Bai, all stared at her carefully, wanting to see what kind of fairy-like face this rumored country girl looked.
It's a pity that they were disappointed, this girl is too ordinary.
Of course, it is a bit wrong to say that Zeng Rong is ordinary, after more than two years of recuperation, she gradually washed away the marks left by this body, and she can't see any traces from the countryside, a little bit of everyone's beautiful knowledgeable and gentle and generous, and she has grown a lot taller, and her facial features are not bright and moving, but she is also delicate and lovely, and she is still stronger than ordinary palace maids.
But the palace is no better than other places, the most important thing is to have beautiful women, and there is no shortage of talented women, those women sent from all over the country, which one has not been screened layer by layer, and which one has not been carefully cultivated since childhood?
But what does this girl have, her appearance is mediocre, and her talent is also mediocre, (a little girl from the countryside can have any outstanding talents, so there is no need to ask, these people take her for granted and deny her.) If it is said that no one can secretly support the operation to enter the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, they don't believe it.
After learning that the person in front of him was really Zeng Rong, Wang Yong was furious, he pointed to the book in Wang Bai's hand and asked, "Who asked you to record this?" ”
Now, there is no way to hide it, Zeng Rong has to move the emperor out.
"Isn't this nonsense? How can a woman be a foreign historian? No, this has to be said. Wang Yong said to Sun Shi.
Sun Shi stroked his few gray and sparse beards and nodded, "It's really inappropriate, there has been no precedent in this dynasty." ”
"Lord Huisun, Xia Guan is not a foreign historian, Xia Guan is just a female official beside the emperor, and he was ordered to come to record the key points of the court meeting for the emperor's reference, which are two different events from the foreign historian's record of the court meeting." Zeng Rong explained.
"What's the difference?" Li Mao asked.
"Back to the town of Guogong, most of the records recorded by foreign historians are major events, which are to be recorded in history. Therefore, their focus is on the emperor and, of course, there are courtiers. And because these major events are mixed with the evaluation of the emperor by foreign historians and the outside world, therefore, the copywriting of foreign historians cannot be read by the emperor, for fear that it will be biased because he wants to face the saint. The copy recorded by the lower officials is convenient for the emperor to consult, so the lower officials focus on the words and deeds of the courtiers, and because the lower officials are shallow in their knowledge, they dare not discuss the major affairs of the court, and the lower officials are only responsible for recording truthfully, without any evaluation. Zeng Rong replied.
"It's not proper, even so, it's very inappropriate, colleagues in the court discuss the government and sometimes inevitably have disagreements or disagreements, some words and some things have been said, but if they are written down and taken out to see separately, the scene is not right, the mood is not right, it is inevitable that it will not be magnified and will not be misunderstood, it is inappropriate, it is inappropriate, it is inappropriate, it is very inappropriate." Wang Yong shook his head and said.
He knows his personality very well, and he also knows that he is easy to offend people, he doesn't want his words and deeds to be recorded, who dares to guarantee that the emperor will be in a bad mood one day and will not turn over his little accounts?
"It's really inappropriate, it's really inappropriate for a woman to openly eavesdrop on the ministers talking about the government behind her back, and there are violations of etiquette." Sun Shi also shook his head and said.
What he objected to was that women could not listen to politics, not that they could not record the key points of government affairs.
However, there is also ambiguity in his words, the queen mother also listened to the government in order to assist the emperor, but it was not long, and the cabinet was quickly established under the intervention of the three prime ministers, and the power was transferred to the cabinet.
It's just that Zeng Rong can't say this, she can't compare with the Queen Mother.
"Back to Lord Sun, Lord Sun did not agree with this statement, the lower official's move was approved by the saint, and it was not allowed to eavesdrop, and the lower official did not appear in the court, only acted in the apse, and there was no violation of the rules and etiquette."
"This matter should be handed over to the emperor to decide, what nonsense do you have to talk to her?" Gu Han was impatient.
Originally, too, can this kind of thing be clearly explained with a little palace maid? Doesn't it have to be the emperor who makes the final decision?
"Yes, yes, Marquis Weiyuan is reasonable." Sun Shi and others also realized that it was inappropriate and suspected of bullying the small.
"Can the Marquis of Zhenyuan return the booklet in his hand to the lower officials?" Zeng Rong asked.
Although there are no secrets or disrespectful words in the booklet, the handwriting is relatively sloppy and the language is not smooth, after all, this is only a first draft, in order to hurry, she can only grab some keywords, and the rest is to sort out afterwards.
But the problem is that the other party has not read the documents that Zeng Rong sorted out afterwards, Zeng Rong is worried that they will use these first drafts to trample on her and belittle her, and those sorted out copywriters will not be able to be taken out by Zeng Rong without the permission of the emperor.
Moreover, no matter how Zeng Rong denied it, those copywriters also somewhat brought some of her positions and opinions, which were not suitable for them.
"Naturally not, you go with us to see the emperor." Wang Bai didn't plan to let Zeng Rong go easily.
To be precise, what he wants to hit is Zhu Heng behind Zeng Rong, if this matter is really as his sister said, it is the emperor who is secretly cultivating Zhu Heng's ability to deal with court affairs, then it means that the emperor still wants Zhu Heng to be the prince.
It's okay, isn't it a joke to get a disabled person to be the emperor?
After spreading the word, people can't still think that there is no one in Da Zhou, and they can't choose a normal person to come?
Wang Bai can think of this, and others can naturally think of it, but they don't have such selfishness as Wang Bai.
However, Sun Shi did not object to making Zhu Heng the crown prince, what he has always insisted on is the primogeniture inheritance system, which is a rule that has been popular for thousands of years and cannot be changed.
Li Mao doesn't care who is the prince, he never stands in line in this matter, otherwise, he would not have deliberately alienated the Wang family over the years.
Wang Yong and Gu Han were close to Wang Bai, so they had already unknowingly stood in line.
