The emperor opened his mouth for the second time to drive people away, even if Zhang Gui, as the first assistant of the cabinet and the emperor's teacher, it was not good to insist that the emperor agree to his advice immediately.

"The minister retired." Zhang Gui had no choice but to leave.

The monarch and the ministers parted unhappily.

When Zhang Gui left the Qianqing Palace, Qi Yu went to the side hall to find the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Chen was also there, and the two were reviewing the agenda and various gift lists of the emperor's wedding submitted by the Ministry of Rites to see if there were any additions, deletions and changes that needed to be made.

Qi Yu came in and saluted the two: "The child greets the two queen mothers." ”

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and beckoned: "Your Majesty, come and see, the Ministry of Rites has sent over the agenda and gift list for the wedding." ”

Qi Yu smiled reluctantly, answered "yes", and stepped forward to take over the wedding agenda.

Empress Dowager Chen saw that Qi Yu's face was not very good, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong?" But something in the court has worried His Majesty? ”

As soon as Zhang Shoufu left, the emperor described it like this, thinking that it must have been troublesome in the previous dynasty.

Qi Yu smiled and said, "No, the queen mother doesn't have to worry." ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "It's for the knighthood of the queen's father...... The cabinet returned the edict of the child's knighthood. ”

Empress Dowager Chen was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

Giving a reward to the queen's mother's family is a rule set by the ancestors, and there is nothing wrong with the emperor acting according to the rules, why should the cabinet seal the edict?

Like when she and Empress Dowager Li were promoted, their father and brother were rewarded according to the rules.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she also put down the gift list in her hand and looked at it.

Qi Yu lowered his head and said helplessly: "Yuan Fu thinks that the previous dynasty was indiscriminately sealed and poisonous, so he resolutely opposed it. ”

When Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li heard this, their faces changed slightly.

Zhang Shoufu's so-called "indiscriminate sealing and endless poison", does it also include their father and brother?

"Yuanfu also moved out of Emperor Taizu, saying that the original reward for the children of the surname Qi and their descendants has now brought a heavy burden to the treasury, so that the children can take this as a warning and plan in the long run." Qi Yu lowered his head and sighed.

When Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li heard this, their faces sank again.

dared to criticize Emperor Taizu, Zhang Gui was determined to prevent the emperor from rewarding the empress's maiden family.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice, "The rules left by the ancestors can't be overturned when they are overthrown. ”

The queen was chosen by her, and Zhang Gui acted like this, isn't he also slapping her in the face? Isn't the queen she chose worthy of being promoted to her mother's family according to the rules?

Empress Dowager Chen nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, he ascended the throne as the emperor at the age of ten, and in addition to several ministers who took care of his life, he was assisted by the Empress Dowager Li. As long as Empress Dowager Li is willing to say something, the chances of success in this matter are great.

"The children listen to their mothers." Qi Yu said obediently and dependently.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but feel pity, thinking that the next time she saw Zhang Gui, she would definitely talk about it well.

……

At the end of February, Huang Wei's official position came down, and he was the same as in his previous life.

Relatives, friends, and neighbors came to congratulate them.

Huang Wei and Wang received everyone with a smile.

After seeing off the guests, the two put away their smiles and returned to the inner courtyard with a worried face.

Huang Yi'an saw it and sent everyone out, leaving only Amei to observe.

In her previous life, she was arrogant, and felt that the maids, including Amei, were not good at etiquette, and bringing them to the palace would only drag her back, so she only brought a few palace maids left by Mama Qing, and suffered a lot of hardships without caring people.

Now that I think about it, in those lonely and long years, if there was a family member who could talk to her, this life would definitely be much better.

Therefore, in this life, she asked Amei in advance what she meant, and when she saw that Amei was willing to enter the palace with her, she taught her with her heart, and most of everything was known to Amei, so that Amei could deal with it calmly after entering the palace in the future.

After serving tea to Huang Wei and Wang, Huang Yi'an asked, "Father, mother, but what happened in the front yard?" ”

Wang glanced at Huang Wei, and when he saw his straight eyes, he reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there are too many people who come to congratulate me, and I'm a little tired of entertaining." Sister Xi doesn't have to worry. ”

Huang Yi'an knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply picked it out and said, "It's because the official rank of my father's reward is too low, and it wasn't originally planned by His Majesty." ”

Although he was asking, his tone was very affirmative.

Huang Wei and Wang were taken aback and looked at the past together.

Wang even blurted out: "How do you know? ”

As soon as the words came out, Wang sensed that something was wrong and quickly pursed his mouth.

Huang Wei saw that his wife had leaked, sighed, and said, "Since Sister Xi already knows, there is no need to hide it from her anymore." ”

The child knew earlier what situation the emperor was facing, so he could prepare in advance.

When Wang heard this, he nodded worriedly.

Huang Wei told everything he heard during the banquet.

Huang Yi said with peace of mind: Sure enough, it is exactly the same as in his previous life, Zhang Gui does not agree with giving his father a knighthood, and the result of the game between the monarch and the minister is still the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

It's just that I don't know if the emperor will insist as he did in his previous life, and at the time of the wedding, he will once again plan to be knighted, and the cabinet will return the edict again.

"What does my father think about this?" Huang Yi'an asked.

Huang Wei sighed: "The fact that you were canonized as the latter is completely unexpected, as long as you and your mother and I live a safe and smooth life, we don't care if you are knighted or not."

"Besides, Zhang Shoufu's edict is not aimed at me alone. He assisted the young lord to ascend the throne, and he worked hard to create a situation where Daqi is now becoming more and more prosperous. If it is because of the matter of knighthood, there is a quarrel between the monarch and the minister, wouldn't it be greatly disadvantageous to state affairs?

"When you enter the palace in the future, I'm afraid that you will also be criticized for it."

Sure enough, exactly like in the previous life, for her, for the emperor and Zhang Gui's monarchs and ministers to reconcile and govern the peace together, my father still chose to back down in this life.

But why did her family have to back down?

Looking back at the queens of the Great Qi Dynasty, looking back at the favorite concubines of the Zheng family, which one of the maiden families did not receive the knighthood? It doesn't work to get to her.

She knew that Zhang Gui's concern of "indiscriminate knighthood and endless poison" was not unreasonable, and she also knew that Zhang Gui deliberately took this matter under the knife, wanting to gradually implement the new law - even the queen's maiden family could not be spared, and before other powerful people wanted to make a fuss, did they have to weigh their own weight first?

However, before Zhang Gui is harsh on others, does he have to reflect on himself first?

There are groups of concubines, countless servants, extravagant luxury, thousands of acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and a sedan chair carried by 32 people, which has never been compared with it throughout the ages.

In his previous life, when he raided his family, the emperor looked at the countless gold and silver treasures and couldn't believe that this was the real life of the Shoufu Lord who often taught him to be frugal and didn't even let him hold banquets!

In her previous life, she listened to her father's advice and took the initiative to be knighted by her father, achieving a reputation of being virtuous and selfless, but in a blink of an eye, the emperor gave all the glory that belonged to the queen's mother's family to the Zheng family. For this reason, Zheng did not mock and ridicule her.

In this life, she is unwilling to wronged herself again, and she is even more unwilling to let her mother's family be wronged because of herself!

"My father's concerns are not unreasonable." Huang Yi'an smiled and comforted, "It's just that the big wedding hasn't been held yet, and the Huang family is soft-spoken, so it's really not suitable to get involved in this dispute between monarchs and ministers." Father, think about it, if we take the initiative to resign, where will we put the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces? ”

Although Empress Dowager Li has always trusted Zhang Gui, and in her previous life, she resigned the title for her father, but instead of being displeased, Empress Dowager Li praised her, but this did not prevent Huang Yi'an from using this to persuade Huang Wei, who was unaware.

Huang Wei was stunned when he heard this, and was silent in thought.

That's right, the maiden family of the queen mother of the two palaces has been rewarded as usual, if the Huang family is politely knighted at this time, wouldn't it be stepping on others and making a name for themselves?

In this way, how can the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces be happy?

In the future, when her daughter enters the palace, the queen mother of the two palaces will press down the word "filial piety", and her daughter doesn't know how much she has to suffer.

Huang Wei hesitated for a moment.

Huang Yi'an didn't urge, just sat quietly aside.
