"Your Majesty insisted that the Bai Ministry pay tribute according to the original deadline and that a generous reward should be given. I heard that the lord insisted on postponing this matter, and did not approve of rewarding Bai Bu, and also talked about the affairs of the first emperor's period, and he didn't know what he should not say, which angered His Majesty, and was ordered by His Majesty to be sent to prison. "That little guy was obviously very scared.

"Is it only the master who is in prison, or is there someone else?" Mrs. Wang was very worried.

"It's not just the master, it's just ...... It's just that...... It was the lord who was imprisoned by His Majesty's decree first. Also, the scholar Li Shimian pleaded for the master, His Majesty was angry, and Wang Zhen said from the side, so they were all imprisoned. ”

"That's for the master!" Liu Shi was a little flustered, "Then what else can you hear?" ”

The little guy was stunned, and only shook his head: "That...... The slave didn't know, the slave and the maid were just waiting for the master outside the palace, or Chengguo Gong sent someone to tell the slave and maid secretly, and the slave and maid only knew. ”

In this way, the whole family panicked, the family was all female dependents, Wang Zhan and Wang Yan had not experienced the affairs of the government, but they didn't know what to do for a while.

Mrs. Wang pondered for a long time, but just patted the table, very solemn and majestic, "Don't panic too much, and then distinguish the situation." Sister Shu, you will quietly go to the princess's mansion with me in a while. ”

Although Mrs. Wang ordered everyone not to panic, she herself showed obvious panic, holding Yingshu's hand tightly all the way in the carriage, trembling, but she didn't speak.

When they arrived at Princess Fuchang's mansion, the eldest princess of Fuchang and Cheng Guogong were also anxious, seeing that Mrs. Wang was coming with a little apologetic look, Cheng Guogong was even more annoyed: "Old aunt, it's not that I don't intercede, but Your Majesty is really angry." This Wang Ying brother is too, if you have to talk about the things between the first emperor and Bai Bu, this really touched the reverse scales, and the aunt also knew that when the queen mother was in power, Bai Bu had all kinds of entanglements with us. His Majesty respects the first emperor, but it is most annoying to talk about those things during the first emperor's period. ”

"This ......" Mrs. Wang was obviously panicked, and those who had never cried couldn't help but cry at the moment: "That's really the end, Your Majesty respects Chunxi Niangniang in your heart, and now, my family Wang Ying is afraid that it will be difficult to escape!" ”

Ying Shu didn't know much about the relationship between the first emperor and Bai Bu back then, but when she saw Mrs. Wang like this, she secretly screamed in her heart.

The eldest princess of Fuchang said: "Don't worry, old lady, I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the queen." ”

Old Mrs. Wang was quite grateful: "Then thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess." After that, he knelt down with Yingshu.

The eldest princess of Fuchang is a person who has no shelf, but she is busy helping Mrs. Wang up: "What kind of princess am I aunt?" We've been together for so many years, and that's just a gesture of mine. ”

Mrs. Wang agreed with great gratitude, but her emotions were excited, and she couldn't stay in the princess's mansion, so she took Yingshu to retire.

In the carriage back to Wang's house, Mrs. Wang told Yingshu the story of the Chunxi concubine during the first emperor's period:

Daxin founded the country for three hundred years, at first the etiquette rules were even clear, the whole country initially formulated hierarchical rules, the first level for the royal family and the "two passes" nobles, the so-called two passes, refers to Guanxi and Guanzhong, the ancestors of the great Xin Tai originated in Guanxi, but at the beginning of the capture of Pingjing City to overthrow the former dynasty tyranny government is by relying on the support of the local nobles in Guanzhong, so the Xin Dynasty opened hundreds of years, Guanxi and Guanzhong have always been hostile to the situation of fire and water, the two parties have fought for more than a hundred years, and they want to seek the heaviest power. For hundreds of years, the monarch of the Xin Dynasty was almost in a state of being clamped down by the nobles of the two passes, and the emperors of all dynasties wanted to take back the monarchy, and it was not until the period of the first emperor Suzong Li Chun that the task of recovering the monarchy and weakening the power of the prime minister was finally achieved through frequent party changes. When it comes to the current emperor, he can be regarded as inheriting the achievements of the previous emperor, the emperor has the heaviest power, and the power of the nobles of Liangguan has been weakened but still enjoys privileges, and he is the ruling class of this country. Over the past hundred years, whether it is the ministers of the Zaifu Cabinet or the queens of previous dynasties, they have not been chosen by the Liangguan family. (Except for the Chunxi Princess)

The second class is the middle people, although they have privileges, but they are very few, and most of them are the children of ordinary citizens and scholars and eunuchs. Although this class does not have many privileges, they can participate in the imperial examinations, and if they can participate in the official career through the imperial examinations, they have the opportunity to become two nobles.

The third class consisted of commoners, mostly merchants and some craftsmen. Men are subject to conscription, while women are required to enter the palace as palace maids, and their rank cannot be changed through the imperial examination. However, because most of them are businessmen, there is no shortage of families full of gold and jade, and the Chunxi concubine who shocked the dynasty is from such a class. But despite being rich, she still has to enter the palace as a palace maid, so this Chunxi concubine can start a legendary chapter in her life.

The fourth class is the untouchables, this class is the most humble, bears the heaviest taxes and servitude, and is almost always in a state of exploitation and oppression, unless they are lucky enough to save the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, otherwise the generation will not turn over.

Before the first emperor, the possibility of mobility among the various classes was almost zero, and every year a few lucky middle-aged people were able to rank among the nobles of the two levels, but the probability was about a few in a thousand, and the rest was not to be thought about. The nobles of the two levels have the most preferential treatment, and there are frequent fights. Occasionally, there is a cross-class love, and the seeds of love will automatically follow the lowly side (except for the royal family), and all of this has changed because of the appearance of the Chunxi concubine.

It is rumored that Zhang Qingyi, the concubine of Chunxi, has a beautiful appearance, although she was born in a commoner, but because her uncle is a wealthy and wealthy imperial merchant in Pingjing City, she has a good family background since she was a child, so she is more generous than many young ladies from the family. However, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and this lady was also forcibly recruited into the palace by the local nobles of the two customs to serve the grandmother of Emperor Xianzong, Suzong's father at that time, the Empress Dowager Zhaohui (belonging to Guanzhong).

Empress Dowager Zhaohui valued the concubine Chunxi, so she was recommended to the former emperor Suzong, who was the crown prince at the time, on a dark and windy night. After the death of Emperor Xianzong, the concubine Chunxi, who was inconspicuous in the harem at first, slowly won the favor of Emperor Suzong and became a famous favorite concubine. And it is said that the first emperor and the concubine were extremely affectionate, for true love.

However, the party that held power at that time was the Guanxi people, and the Guanxi people were deeply worried, so they forced the first emperor to expel the Chunxi concubine from the palace on the grounds that the Chunxi concubine was not from a good background, but the first emperor did not allow it several times, and the Guanxi nobles tried to assassinate the favorite concubine through the Guanxi concubines in the harem several times, and the Chunxi concubines began to kill all sides. Since then, the concubines have become more and more serious, participating in court politics and promoting the middle and lower people to be noble. So that the sacred heart was blinded, driven outside the palace, replaced by a concubine, and went out of the temple from the west. Later, he regretted it and thought it deeply, so he ordered to be reinstated in the middle palace and degraded to the concubine. Unloaded, after the illness collapsed, the concubine intended to reinstate the concubine, and the concubine Yu'an impeached the concubine for the witch curse, and was angry, gave the concubine death medicine, and drank with the concubine. Shang Nian is the mother of the prince, so he is given the title of Chunxi concubine. ”

"Actually, this is just a little record," Mrs. Wang began to recall the old sister: "When I was a female official, I had a few intersections with the concubine. The first emperor once created the position of imperial concubine for the concubine, and I also witnessed the concubine Niangniang go up step by step from an ordinary concubine, although everyone said that the concubine Niangniang was a person as evil as Lu Wu, but I don't feel like this. If it weren't for Empress Xiaorenxian's father who had too much power, the first emperor probably wouldn't have made Niangniang the queen. After that, if it weren't for the throne of His Majesty today, why would the concubine be given to die herself? The first emperor's affection is deep, and it is rare in the world, that is, even the name of the mother has to be the same as his own name, where will he personally pour the death medicine of the mother? But at that time, who could explain the things in the palace clearly, and I didn't know. ”

According to Mrs. Wang's description of Concubine Chunxi, Concubine Chunxi is a legendary figure, as the first queen of the dynasty to rise from a commoner, she was expelled from the palace twice, and she was abolished several times but still won the heart of the king. Not only that, but she can also adopt the daughter of the first emperor and the queen, the daughter of a good sister, and even His Royal Highness King Cheng, the son of the enemy who "exposed" her, Yu'an Guifei, can be adopted, which shows that under the legendary experience, there is also a heart of fraternity. It's just that success or failure has long been written in the history books, and after all, no one can know what the truth is.

"The queen of the white department was the princess of the first prince of the white department, and later married her younger brother and the current white prince. During the reign of the first emperor, Queen Hakube used to be friendly with Niangniang, so there has always been peace between the two countries, and there has been no incident for decades. Later, after the first emperor gave the death of the mother, the white department began to cause repeated incidents. Probably, Queen Baibe is also unhappy for Chunxi Niangniang. So this has always been a difficult knot in His Majesty's heart, although His Majesty respects the first emperor, but he has always had hatred for the death of Chunxi Niangniang, so your father mentioned Bai and the first emperor, it is a reversal of the scales. In this way, His Majesty must have remembered the Chunxi Guifei Niangniang and wanted to go to prison. After the old lady Wang patiently explained the past for Yingshu, she finally couldn't break down, just sighed, as if she was a few years old in an instant, "In this way, your father is afraid that he will not be able to keep it!" What His Majesty hates the most is the policies of the first emperor and the White Department, which are what they are now. ”

Ying Shu listened, only feeling as if she had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, not only to thank the concubine Chunxi for what happened to her, but also to deeply worry about Wang Ying's safety and health. Although Wang Ying is not an extremely fatherly father, he is at least qualified, at least he is the umbrella of the entire Wang family, without him, the entire Wang family will cease to exist.

Whether it is intellectual or emotional, he told himself that he couldn't live without Wang Ying's father.

"Hopefully, there will be a glimmer of hope." Mrs. Wang was a little helpless.
