Chapter 57: Stabbed
Because the status of women in the previous dynasty and this dynasty continues to improve, even if men can still have three wives and four concubines, but the rights and interests of the wife of the main family have also been unprecedentedly protected, when there are children, the concubine can only inherit less than one percent of the family business on the father's side, Emperor Xuanwu chose the eldest grandson as the heir when the children are still alive, it may not cause much backlash, but if Emperor Xuanwu chooses a grandson as the heir, don't blame them for not giving Emperor Xuanwu face.
Cui Rang sighed: "Although this dynasty pursues the primogeniture inheritance system, but the previous dynasty is not without the interests of abolishing the heirs and establishing virtuous people, if Your Majesty is really ruthless enough to pave the way for that one, this matter may not be impossible, but it is just that the ladies of the various provinces have been wronged, and when the time comes, you will have to bow down in front of that person." ”
Although Cui Rang's words are suspected of sowing discord, they are also the truth, Xiao Shao, who has always put Zijin, the eldest daughter, in the palm of his hand, is naturally angry, Zijin is his eldest daughter, and when he arrives in Jinling, he will be pressed on the head by a low-born concubine, which is unbearable!
"He wants to be beautiful! I could never have watched His Majesty make such a big mistake. Xiao Shao's eyes were sharp, and he told Cui Rang, "Sir, pay more attention to the news in the south, if there is really a change in the three southern states, the Liao people will definitely fish in troubled waters, plus Tubo in the southeast, the border defense pressure is extremely great, I want to see how much Your Majesty loves this grandson!" ”
Even though he had already guessed, Xiao Shao still didn't want to think too stupidly about Emperor Xuanwu, so he decided to stand still for the time being and see Emperor Xuanwu's next move.
Moreover, compared to what has not happened yet, it is still the Liao State with frequent movements in the north that is more worrying, and the Youzhou Protector will be appointed soon, Xiao Shao should also be ready to take over the position of the Youzhou Protector earlier, although this matter is almost decided, but Xiao Shao still wants to use his own strength to shut up the people of the Youzhou Army, otherwise leaving this impression of taking office according to his identity will not be beneficial to his mastery of the Youzhou Army.
Cui Rang bowed his head and promised, and pulled the status of the prince up a little more in his heart, it seems that in the heart of the king, there are far more grievances against Emperor Xuanwu than against the prince, if you want to get the king to fight for the throne, you still need to plan carefully, at least those who can be convinced by the king must be kicked out first.
The crown prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor, what should these two do?
Cui Rang has been thinking about this problem for several days, and he seems absent-minded even to teach Zijin and Xiao Yu.
Zijin was keenly aware of this matter, but she was happy to see it, recently she was helping Wang Yuan arrange various festivals and year-end account counting, and she really didn't have the heart to deal with Cui Rang's schoolwork.
The three of them ended the day's course tacitly, and Zijin and Xiao Yu went to the East Third Institute together.
Halfway through, Zijin sent an invitation to Xiao Yuan, "Brother, do you want to go to my place to sit down, it stands to reason that Tannu should arrive in Taiyuan soon, and there should be a letter sent back." ”
Xiao Yu responded, "Okay, I don't know what the situation is like in Taiyuan, and I've never been far away." ”
"I have heard a few words from Uncle Jin Wang, although Taiyuan is a border town, but because it is the clan of the Taiyuan Wang clan, the literary style is extremely prosperous, coupled with the continuous northward movement of the border over the years, although Taiyuan is still an important town, and the merchants from all over the country have become closer and closer, and Chang'an Luoyang and other places to help each other, quite a bit of the prosperity of Jinling City in it."
Zijin casually introduced to Xiao Yuan, although there are elements of King Jin's boasting, but it is not too exaggerated, just a simple understanding of nature is not in the way, pulling Xiao Yuan to sit down in the room, Pu Jia handed over Wang Yan's letter with great eyes, Zijin raised Yang Xin to Xiao Yuan, and said with a smile: "If you want to know how Taiyuan is, you might as well see what Tan Nu said?" ”
Seeing that Zijin invited him to read the letter, Xiao Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, and excused himself: "This is the letter that Tannu gave you." "I'm afraid it's not suitable for me.
Zijin simply took the letter and sat next to Xiao Yuan, the palace is not pankang, but there is a ground dragon in the building, the ground in the whole house is warm, even if you sit on the ground, you don't feel cold, "What is the letter to me, this is a letter written by Tannu to the two of us, where should Aya A-Niang also have a copy." ”
After listening to Zijin's explanation, Xiao Yu was relieved to read the letter sent back by Wang Yan with Zijin, Wang Yan didn't write much, because the words were slightly larger, it was very thick.
After reading it from the beginning, Xiao Yu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and only sighed after a long time, "Tan Nu is really ...... Surprising! ”
Such a big thing was actually written into the family letter with such a big horn, and I was not afraid that the letter would be lost halfway.
Because it is a family letter, Zijin did not avoid Pujia at all, fortunately, Pujia and they have been with Zijin for so many years, and they have always understood Zijin's habits, and they are all obedient to their duties, no one can't think of peeking at the master's letter, Zijin just reminded Pujia a little and asked Xiao Yuan, "I think Aya already knows about this matter, for the sake of safety, I should still go to find Aye, and the eldest brother wants to go with me?" ”
"Go with you."
Wang Yan broke such a big thing, life and death in Taiyuan are uncertain, how can Xiao Yan rest assured, of course, he has to listen to Xiao Shao's opinion.
Zijin rolled up the letter paper and put it in his sleeve, and went to the palace of the palace with Xiao Yu, who would have thought that Xiao Shao was not there at all, "Fang Cai has come up from the mansion and said that he has an urgent matter to ask you Aya to come over to preside, and it has only been less than a quarter of an hour, are you in a hurry?" ”
Zijin and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, decisively threw the crucial piece of letter into their sleeves and hid it, and casually sold Cui Rang, "Actually, it's not a big deal, just thinking that the New Year is approaching, is it too unkind to let Mr. Cui give us a lecture, Mr. Cui seems to be extremely tired these days, and he seems to be a little lacking in energy." ”
"Really?" Wang Yuan looked at Zijin in surprise, not quite believing that Zijin came here against the cold wind to ask for a holiday for his husband.
However, Zijin's ability to pretend to be innocent has reached the realm, and Wang Yuan did not find Zijin's Xiao Jiujiu because of her lack of energy because she was pregnant, Xiao Yuan was obviously very dissatisfied with Cui Rang's passive and slacking off behavior with a cold face, which happened to match Xiao Yuan's usual diligent and studious image, Wang Yuan nodded and did something, and asked Cui Rang to take annual leave from now on, and wait until the fifth day of the first lunar month to teach the two children.
Fooling Wang Yuan over, the two returned to the East Third Institute with a heavy heart.
"It seems that I still haven't caught up, and Tannu's thoughts have been in vain." Xiao Yu sighed, this Youzhou is too careless!
Zijin also sighed, "Who said it wasn't?" ”
took out the crumpled letter paper from his sleeve, it was Wang Yan's handwritten letter, no matter what was written, it had to be carefully collected.
Zijin took the paperweight and pressed the letter paper to slowly smooth out the wrinkles, and a line of big characters came into view - the Liao people want to stab Youzhou Duhu!
