Chapter 20 The Nobles of Heaven
After Rong Yu opened her mouth to refute the six princes, she looked up at the people beside him, and the people in front of her gradually overlapped with the people in her memory.
She looked at them one by one, and everyone's reactions were all expected by her.
She is no longer the Rong Yu of seventeen years ago, but the old person is still the person of the year.
……
Today, there are six princes, and Princess Zhaohuai has a princess.
In order to avoid the chaos of foreign relatives, after the Great Zhou Dynasty pursued the cold election, most of the princes chose the small family of Jade as the concubine, and the new emperor would often give the queen's mother family a title of earl inheriting the third generation, falsely raising the queen's origin, showing the grace of heaven.
The mothers of the current Empress Dowager Ma and Empress Jane were originally like this.
Empress Jian had the crown prince Li Qianyuan, who occupied the heir and the elder.
The serious nobles of Kyoto City often don't look down on this kind of bounty that depends on their daughters, but they don't dare to brush the face of the queen and the queen mother, so they have to hold these bofu against their will.
These bofu are shallow, but they are also quite self-aware, low-key, and cautious in socializing with the Kyoto high-ranking families.
However, the world is impermanent.
When it comes to the Ma family, the mother of the Queen Mother, this is not the case.
Empress Ma has an outstanding younger brother Ma Jiuyi, Ma Jiuyi joined the army in the southeast, quelled the troubles, and earned the title of "Jinghai" by virtue of his accumulated military exploits.
Hereditary replacement, with the country and rest.
The Ma family's fortune is more than that.
In the harem, there is a Ma concubine before the throne, and the concubine is now Concubine Jia, who has the second prince Li Qianzhang.
In the previous dynasty, the descendants of the Ma family flourished, and there were many talents, and after decades of operation, whether in the army or the imperial court, whether in Kyoto or Jiubian, there were people from the Ma family everywhere in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There is such a folk proverb: An official hat is a veil, and half a horse falls off the horse.
The Ma family is the hottest upstart today, not to mention that it is an ordinary civil and military general, it is the century-old Kyoto noble, and even the distant branch of the Heavenly Family, who dares to underestimate the Ma family? Who doesn't want to marry the Ma family?
Rong Yu looked at the king of England in a purple shirt and a proud man and Ma Shizi in a blue robe, and sighed in his heart.
The extreme wealth is the cooking oil of the fire, which is the situation of the Ma family today.
Empress Ma Mother, Marquis Jinghai, King Ying......
If one of these people can see clearly, then in just a few years, the Ma family may not end up in such a bleak end.
As for the rest of the princes and princesses......
The biological mother of the third prince Li Qianjing is the virtuous concubine Zhang.
Concubine Xian is the daughter of Zhang Shendu, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the first emperor's court, and soon after Concubine Xian gave birth to the third prince, Zhang Shoufu took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown in order to avoid the suspicion of "internal and external collusion".
When the current emperor was the crown prince, Zhang Shoufu was also the crown prince, he assisted the first emperor to implement the new policy, became an official, made thousands of miles away from the court and traveled at night, cleared the fields, paid taxes and forced labor, and swept away the disadvantages of a hundred years, the politics was clear, and the treasury was full.
Therefore, when Zhang Shoufu resigned, the emperor was reluctant to keep him in every possible way, but Zhang Shoufu was resolute, and the emperor finally had to allow the performance. After that, the emperor still cherished and respected him very much, and would send envoys to send favors and rewards every New Year's Day, and even when there was a major military and political matter, he would write to discuss with Zhang Shoufu.
After Zhang Shoufu returned to his hometown, Du Men swept and sent his affection to the countryside, and only occasionally gave advice to the Confucian students who sincerely asked for teaching.
For Mrs. Zhang, Rong Yu is full of respect and gratitude.
The pillar of the country and the emperor of the Son of Heaven is Rong Chi's mentor and her benefactor.
When Rong Chi was studying with Mrs. Zhang, she was grateful, and often carefully selected soft snacks and precious tea leaves to give to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang did not despise her like others, but chose a few ancient books for her to read, and told her that there is no class in teaching, as long as a person has the heart to learn, no matter what his qualifications are, no matter how old he is, he is worthy of praise.
Exchange a box of dim sum for a book, and occasionally have to be personally ordered by Mrs. Zhang, because of such an opportunity, she can now say a few sentences of ancient texts and quote a few allusions.
Thinking of Mrs. Zhang, Rong Yu couldn't help but look at Duanwang more.
Duanwang is wearing a silver and gray brocade robe today, elegant and profound, like a breeze.
Looking at this, Rong Yu felt that King Duan had both the shadow of Taifu Zhang and the shadow of the current emperor.
It is true that all the princes are the sons of the emperor, and they all have places like emperors.
For example, the prince's benevolence and filial piety, King Ying's decisiveness, King Chen's frankness and ease, and King Ning's gloomy and suspicious......
But Rong Yu privately thinks that the one who is most like the emperor is King Duan.
The rest of the princes are only like emperors in some way, but King Duan has almost every trait of an emperor.
The emperor often said that King Chen was most like him.
The meaning of this sentence is actually that the emperor likes King Chen the most.
The emperor naturally liked King Chen......
After the emperor ascended the throne, new people were widely selected in the palace, and a new palace maid surnamed Xu was added to the queen's palace.
At that time, whether it was the queen of the middle palace, or the concubines of the six palaces, or even the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and all the people of the world, no one would have thought that the little palace maid would have a great transformation in the future.
But now when it comes to Xu Guifei, who is the emperor's favor, no one in the world doesn't know.
Three thousand favors are in one, and the six palaces have no color.
The emperor named the four princes born to Xu Guifei Li Qianjue, and after the four princes married his wife, he named him "King Chen".
Every word shows the emperor's cherishment.
Rong Yu looked at King Chen and Princess Chen.
King Chen is handsome, and he has a sense of brightness that is different from that of the rest of the princes, and he deserves the name of the king of jade.
Although Princess Chen is a concubine, she was born in the Rongguo Mansion, she has a quiet and beautiful appearance, and a gentle and graceful temperament.
Before King Chen, there was no precedent for a prince to marry a concubine as a concubine in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but because King Chen liked it, the emperor approved the marriage.
If it weren't for King Chen's precedent, it might not have been so smooth when King Duan continued to marry Rong Ying.
In the emperor's place, all the rules can be broken when it comes to the noble concubine Niangniang, King Chen, or Princess Zhaohuai.
There was even such a secret rumor in the forbidden palace, saying that the emperor had promised the concubine Niangniang that there would be no son of a different belly from now on.
Many people don't believe the secret, because the six princes are not from the noble concubine.
Today's Rong Yu knows that there is indeed such a thing.
After Xu Guifei was favored, although the concubines had resentments in their hearts, they were afraid of the emperor and did not dare to do it.
Only Concubine Jia dared to attack her directly.
Concubine Jia has the queen mother behind her, the Jinghai Houma family, and the second prince, she was sure that the emperor would not touch her, so she let the Ma family spend a lot of money and chose a top Yangzhou thin horse to send to the palace.
The skinny horse's appearance and figure and hooking wrists are first-class, although the emperor has a soft spot for Xu Guifei, but he is also a man, when Xu Guifei was pregnant with the fifth prince, the emperor was hooked, fortunately the thin horse several times.
Concubine Jia proudly revealed the matter to Xu Guifei, Xu Guifei was hit hard, and gave birth to five princes early, and the five princes were not enough in the womb, and they died soon after.
The emperor was remorseful and decided to kill the thin horse, but the thin horse was pregnant.
The child born to the thin horse is the Six Princes.
After the birth of the sixth prince, he was raised by Concubine Xian, and his biological mother was given white silk.
These palace secrets are unknown to ordinary people, and what is recorded in the Tong book is that the biological mother of the six princes is named Liji, and Liji died of illness after giving birth to the six princes.
The emperor and Xu Guifei rebuilt their old friendship, and a year later, Xu Guifei gave birth to the emperor's only daughter, Princess Zhaohuai.
……
At this time, the princes stood together, the heroic posture of the British king, the glory of the king of Chen, and the beautiful appearance of the six princes......
They are like unsheathed swords, all of them are dazzling.
At first glance, Duanwang is inconspicuous.
But if anyone thinks that King Duan is indeed inconspicuous among the princes, it is a big mistake.
Duanwang's sword has not been unsheathed at all at this time.
But Rong Yu has seen what he looks like after he is unsheathed.
When the general trend is clear, when he no longer has to hide himself under the appearance of tranquility and indifference......
There are hills and valleys in the chest, calm and profound, the pen can calm the world, and the battle can determine the future.
No matter who sees such a Duan King, they will be impressed by his bearing, and rejoice that God blesses the Great Zhou and descends to this master.
As for the reaction of the crowd at this time......
Rong Wen and Ma Shizi both looked at Rong Yu in surprise like the sixth prince, as if they couldn't believe that she could say such a thing;
The King of England had not paid attention to Rong Yu before, and at this time he thought that it was just a little girl with sharp teeth and a few words of ridicule for his insignificant Sixth Emperor Brother, so he looked at her with little interest, and a casual smile hung on the corner of his mouth;
Duan Wang and Rong Ying were the same, they both looked at her indifferently.
Although they had lived for two lifetimes, Rong Yu still couldn't understand what they were thinking under that calm expression.
She suddenly thought of an interesting thing: such two people who are not happy and angry, are they still like this when they get along day and night after they get married?
Perhaps, after all, that's how the emperor and the ladies get along......
It's just, is it interesting to be a husband and wife like that?
Finally, Rong Yu looked at Princess Zhaohuai......
Although she argued with the six princes and caused some trouble, Princess Zhaohuai was not looking at her, but at someone behind her......
Rong Yu lowered his eyes and glanced behind him, and caught a glimpse of a corner of the ink-colored brocade robe trimmed with gold threads......
She was slightly stunned, and then thought of the ending of Princess Zhaohuai in her previous life, and seemed to understand something......
