178 The vassal king enters Beijing

No matter how beautiful the mood is, when I see Xiao Tuanzi's sweet and cute appearance, my heart has turned into water, and that depressed mood is gone.

Pian Pian greeted several people in turn, and then explained the reason for going to the front yard at this time.

Su Qian and Li Hehui both looked at Xiao Yu'er with a smile when they heard this, and even Xu Erlang helplessly nodded the tip of the little girl's nose and said to her, "Don't be naughty, your little aunt still has something to do, Xiao Yu'er don't make trouble." ”

Xiao Yu'er almost raised her hand and swore an oath, "If I don't make trouble, I want the little general." Take the little general to Cuibai Garden, Brother Rong will like it. ”

Xu Erlang touched her head, "Go ahead." However, the little general is a wolf dog, fierce, recognize the master, don't touch it, just watch it from afar. ”

Although Xiao Yu'er was not happy, she was also an obedient baby, so she let out an "oh" and slipped off Xu Erlang, holding Pianpiao's hand to leave.

Pian Pian hurriedly said goodbye to the three of them, and finally held the little claws of the little girl's flesh, and the aunt and nephew walked away with a smile and a smile.

Seeing this, Suqian said with some envy, "It's better to be a daughter, there are a few little girls at home, and everyone is in a better mood." "When I think of my daughter, I can't help but think of my three sons in the family, who are really all masters who can go to heaven. Although Su Xuan Su Zheng is not at home now, he has not caused trouble in Yingtian Academy. For this reason, Suqian was also called a parent, which was really embarrassing and thrown into the academy.

Xu Erlang didn't feel the same way, because he had the impression that whether it was Chang'an or Changping, they were all sensible and well-behaved, and they really didn't get into trouble to the point where he needed to come forward to clean it up. He couldn't comfort him, so he could only pat Suqian's shoulder and let him see it.

The two walked forward as they spoke, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong, and when the two looked back, they saw Li Hehui looking at one place in a daze, as if he was distracted.

Xu Erlang frowned slightly and shouted "Yan Ting". Li Hehui immediately came back to his senses, and then coughed curtly, "I see that the plum blossoms in your yard don't seem to be common varieties in the capital, and they are rare things from there?" If there are other plants, let me transplant one as well. ”

Xu Erlang's attention was diverted, and he said, "The flowers and trees in the courtyard are all purchased by Neiko, and I really don't know if the varieties are different from the plum blossoms in the capital." If Yan Ting likes it, let people transplant it. ”

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, if there is any rest, I will transplant it, if not, I can press the branches."

The topic of several people naturally shifted to flowers and trees, and Su Qian and Xu Erlang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. But only Li Hehui looked at the direction where the girl in the rose-red shirt had just gone, with a smile on his face, and then shook his head slightly, as if he let out a sigh.

didn't say how many people were in the front yard, but said that Jin Niang in the backyard was entertaining Suqian's wife.

The Su family is also a relatively quiet family, after all, Suqian only has one wife and one concubine, and the concubine only gave birth to one daughter, so there are fewer disputes in the back house.

The eldest son of the three sons born to Mrs. Suqian is thirteen or fourteen years old, and there is no need for adults to worry about at all. Although the two small ones are still causing trouble everywhere, they can be sent to the academy to be controlled by gentlemen, and there will be no big mistakes.

Usually the three sons are not at home, and when they move to Yamen, there are only two elders and one concubine left in the family, as well as the concubines born in the concubine room. So on the whole, the house is still relatively quiet.

But recently, because the concubine had chickenpox, the concubine accused her of murdering the concubine's life, and it was very noisy, and the whole family became a miasma.

In this regard, Mrs. Suqian was also angry.

She said to Jinniang, "My three sons are by my side, where do you need to care about her concubine?" What if she gave birth to a concubine, my eldest son is an adult, and Suqian is not a wolf-hearted, liking the new and hating the old, so can she spoil the concubine and kill her wife because she has a concubine, or give the family property to the concubine? None of this is possible. So you say, I can even bear her giving birth to a concubine, and she just gave birth to an innocuous concubine, and when the time comes, a dowry will be gone, do I need to care about her, do I need to harm her? ”

Mrs. Suqian also had a headache, "The concubine thinks that her daughter is very good, and no one can compare to that girl." I feel that no one in this world can see that girl grow up safely and soundly, and there are people everywhere who want to take her life. I don't understand, what is her daughter who descended to earth, why can't everyone see her born? What kind of luck do you say our homestay has gone, how can such a terrible character be reincarnated in our family? ”

Jin Niang also thought it was funny when she heard it, but it wasn't that she couldn't understand it. After all, the shell Lang still praises himself for the fragrance of his children, how can he be a mother and how to see how good his children are. It's just that everyone else who is good has to assassinate her...... That's a real pass.

Jin Niang had the heart to comfort Mrs. Su and let her see it a little. But this matter is a matter of Suqian's back house, and it is a private matter of others. She just listened, and didn't make people upset by her opinions.

Jin Niang patiently listened to Mrs. Suqian's dispatch, but fortunately, this person also knows what to expect. It was just a few words, and I didn't mention this filthy thing again. If you don't have to be a guest at other people's homes and add to others' blockages, isn't that a bad guest?

Mrs. Su then praised Brother Rong, saying that Brother Rong'er has high eyebrows and broad foreheads, and he looks like an extraordinary person. He also said that this child looked like his father, and he was also a champion when he grew up.

Jin Niang: "......" is really good to listen to, at least she is very comfortable to listen to. Just extraordinary? The best talent? Where did Mrs. Su see it, why can't she see it? Could it be that this kid has hidden these advantages too deeply, waiting for her as a mother to discover them?

The day was lively, and Xu Erlang came back later, with the smell of alcohol on his body, but he looked okay, his demeanor was clear, and he was obviously not drunk.

Jin Niang was surprised, "I didn't drink much today." ”

"Li Hehui was summoned by the Queen Mother and will go to the palace tomorrow to see the driver. He didn't drink much, and he was worried about drinking too much and losing his temper when driving, so he only drank a few glasses and then drank clear tea. ”

Jin Niang nodded clearly, and then sighed, "The Queen Mother summoned Li Hehui, I'm afraid it's not to be a matchmaker for him, right?" ”

It's really hard to say, after all, the difficult problem of Li Hehui's marriage has become the consensus of everyone. In this case, not to mention that the princess of Laojun couldn't sleep at night, even the two mountains of Emperor Yunwen and the Queen Mother in the palace also actively wanted to solve this difficult marriage.

It's just that there are many noble girls who are beautiful and of moderate age, but there are not many who are suitable for Li Hehui and intend to marry him.

It's still the old saying, girls only look at the appearance of men, but their family sees the long term, they not only look at the son-in-law's character and appearance, but also look at his family background and future. And Li Hehui is not loved by Zhuang Junwang and his wife, and his relationship with his sibling brother is also mediocre. Since then, there has been very little help from the Zhuangjun Palace. Although His Majesty favored him and gave him a little more confidence in choosing a mate, then under the same conditions, it was not necessary for him to have a better choice for his own girl. What's more, they all feel sorry for their daughters, and they are also worried that their children will be wronged when they marry in the past.

Outsiders think that it is difficult for Li Hehui to choose a mate, and Li Hehui himself would rather lack than abuse the other half. This led to a difficult situation in his marriage, which obviously would not be improved and resolved within a year or two. Therefore, I really don't know what the two old families in the palace are busy with when they know that they are busy with work.

Not to mention Li Hehui, and to say that when it was about to get dark, Chang'an Changping actually came back from the academy.

The two boys will rest tomorrow, and they will rush home as soon as they have a holiday at noon today. But I didn't return home until this time, and it was obviously a problem on the road.

Jin Niang opened her mouth to ask the reason, and Changping couldn't wait for Chang'an to open her mouth and couldn't wait to say, "Isn't this the Queen Mother's birthday, and the vassal kings from all over the country have rushed over from the fiefdom to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." Unfortunately, when we came back, we met King Yu's ceremonial drive at the gate of the city, and this was not blocked outside. ”

Jin Niang nodded knowingly at first, and then felt that it was wrong, "Isn't it easy for the vassal king to return to Beijing?" A few horses and a few carriages passed through the border in just a few moments, why are you still blocked outside? Did you two say something was missing? ”

Changping looked at Chang'an, and he said what was missing?

Chang'an smiled and said, "We don't know if other vassal kings came by car, but King Yu obviously didn't come alone." When we were queuing at the city gate, we heard the people in front of us say that King Yu had brought his wife and children with him this time, and there must have been many carriages and horses with his family. The number of people in front of them counted, and they said that it was not horses, but there were 100 carriages alone, and the whole family had come. ”

Pian Pian is not very clear about these powerful families in the capital, and she also knows little about the princes of various fiefdoms, but she knows that the emperor is taboo for the vassal kings to enter the capital, and it is one thing to worry that they will make trouble in the capital, and she is also afraid that they will win over officials in the capital. You say that if someone wants to rebel and buys off the powerful officials in advance, can the emperor's throne be secure?

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the imperial power, the vassal king was not allowed to summon and enter the capital. Even if you enter Beijing, you have to travel lightly. This clause only applies to the vassal kings that His Majesty trusts, and for the vassal kings that His Majesty does not trust, the Emperor's methods are also very ruthless. Not only will they send city patrol orders to regularly inspect the fiefdoms of the vassal kings to see if there is any expansion of private troops, whether there is concealment of taxes, whether there are selfish weapons, and even more, if they feel that a certain vassal king is particularly fearful, they will also let people send their wives and children to the capital.

The strictness of the imperial court's control of the vassal kings can be seen from this, and when many vassal kings are trembling and begging for life, King Yu is so fanfare and drags his family to Beijing, which is very eye-catching.

Xu Erlang said, "Although King Yu is not from the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has a friend in the boudoir when she enters the palace, and the two have grown up together since childhood, and they support each other after entering the palace." The lady died of blood during childbirth, and the queen mother hugged King Yu to her knees to raise her. It is okay to say that King Yu is the youngest son of the Queen Mother, but he has a deep brotherhood with His Majesty, and His Majesty also loves this brother the most. This can be glimpsed from the title of King Yu. It is necessary to know that Yuzhou is in the south of Qianzhou, with abundant products, fertile water and soil, and crops can be harvested three times a year, not to mention that the geographical and cultural conditions there are good.

King Yu went to the fiefdom, and he went to enjoy the blessings. It's no different from some vassal kings, who are sealed to a place with a bad corner, and it is a problem to feed the local people every year, and they have to apply for a subsidy like the imperial court to survive. Compared with those little pitifuls, King Yu's treatment is simply heavenly.

Xu Erlang's explanation, several people in the room all knew "oh".

Chang'an and Changping were obviously a little excited, Jin Niang didn't know if the two of them were happy to see King Yu's frame with their own eyes, or if they felt that there was a lively scene in the capital after that, so they were excited about it. Whatever the reason, she felt the need to say a few words to ring the alarm bell for the two children.

"Although those vassal kings are not liked by His Majesty, they are all high and powerful. We can't avoid such characters. In case you two don't know what to do, don't go out tomorrow to join in the fun, just stay at home and go to your grandfather's side. As for what your classmates and friends are talking about in private after returning to school, just listen to it, and don't speak casually. You must know that the truth that comes from your mouth, you can't say a word of unintentional words, and hearing it in the ears of others is evidence of great rebellion. When the time comes, if you don't say anything about your own crimes, you can't say that you will implicate your family and your second uncle, can you write it down? ”

Chang'an Changping was a little apprehensive at first, but then he also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he nodded solemnly.

Chang'an also said, "Auntie, don't worry, we are all measured." We all know the principle of prudence in words and deeds, and we will not cause trouble for our family. ”

Jin Niang said, "It's not that I'm afraid that you will cause trouble and implicate the family, I mainly want to say that you are all older, you should be steady and cautious in doing things, and you must also learn to avoid it." What do you mean, do you two understand? ”

The two nodded again with small faces.

After saying this, Chang'an said another thing, but it was good news, it turned out that he was promoted from the T-shaped class to the C-shaped class.

Yingtian Academy has a strict promotion system, and unless students are ranked in the top three in the three assessments, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to be promoted.

Chang'an has good grades, and the melon seeds in the head are particularly effective. Of course, Yingtian Academy is not the only one who can read, there are other smart and clever children. But in any case, although Chang'an was squeezed out of the first place in the three assessments, his worst score was also the second in the class. This meets the requirements of upgrading, so after some thought, Chang'an jumped to class C.

And Changping, only one of the three assessments entered the top three, and if he wants to be promoted, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Hearing this, Jin Niang and Xu Erlang both smiled.

Jin Niang praised Chang'an very much, and it can be seen that Changping has a drooping little face and a depressed expression, so she also encouraged him a few words.
