Chapter 144: A Famous Lady Slaps Her Face with a White Lotus (7)
Xu Yuyan's dynasty is called Daqing, the royal family is surnamed Zhu, the court structure is similar to the Ming Dynasty, taking the route of paying equal attention to civil and military, the status of Wenchen is slightly higher than that of Wuchen, there is no court staff system, there is no Jinyi Wei and East Factory and West Factory, and there are no seedlings of eunuch dictatorship.
Fortunately, the second generation of emperors of the Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the chaotic government of the princes of the previous dynasty and issued a decree similar to the Tui En Order, and the princes and kings were basically only slightly stronger than the local wealthy families after the fifth generation.
But it was also because of this decree that when the emperor divided his favorite prince, he would try his best to give land to the mines, for fear that the descendants of his precious son would suffer from poverty.
This is the case of Zhu Chengze, the king of peace in front of him.
Emperor Tai did not give birth to this little son until his later years, and his love for him can be imagined, and he even thought about changing his young son at one time.
Helplessly, Zhu Chengze's mother was too humble, when Zhu Chengze was born, the first emperor was already an adult and was in contact with government affairs, half of the ministers in the court supported the first emperor to inherit the unification, and the emperor had no choice but to give his youngest son various rewards, and before he died, he also grabbed the hand of the first emperor, and asked the first emperor to swear in the name of the ancestors and ancestors that he would definitely do fratricidal things and never hurt his youngest brother.
The first emperor was a filial son, and after succeeding to the throne, he was really kind to Zhu Chengze, and gave the young Zhu Chengze the title of King Anle, raised him in the palace, and released the fief after he reached the age of fifteen, and Zhu Chengze's mother stayed in the palace to accompany the queen mother.
However, Zhu Chengze went to the fief only a few years ago, and the first emperor died, and the little emperor who succeeded him was only twelve years old.
The queen mother was worried that the princes and kings would be in turmoil, and in the name of the new monarch, all the princes and kings were recalled to the capital, so that they could assist the little emperor.
Today's court, looking at a harmonious atmosphere, is actually turbulent, so there is the absurdity of the emperor deliberately marrying Xu Yuyan to his brother-in-law in order to give the Xu family eye medicine, and there is the appeasement of the emperor's uncle Anle Wang who is highly regarded by the emperor and personally came to the Xu family to drink tea.
After reading the system's introduction to the political forces of the Daqing Dynasty, Su Yi had a plan in her heart.
She walked slowly in front of Zhu Chengze, looked at this elegant and noble man, and saluted: "Li Changhe's new wife asks His Royal Highness King Anle to say goodbye." ”
However, although he is the emperor's uncle, Zhu Chengze is only five years older than Xu Yuyan and seven years older than the little emperor.
"Yuyan, you and I are childhood sweethearts, so it's a little rusty to call it like this."
Zhu Chengze's long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of smiles.
Su Yi recalled Xu Yuyan's past, when she was a child, she did go into the palace with her mother to play with Zhu Chengze many times, so she smiled: "I didn't expect to go home to visit my parents and see my former playmates again, it's really a lucky thing." ”
"The lonely king went to the fiefdom at the age of fifteen, and when you came back, you were already waiting to be married, and it was really inconvenient to meet casually."
Zhu Chengze shook his fan, looking at Xu Yuyan's eyes with a little eagerness.
Su Yi realized that Zhu Chengze had affection for Xu Yuyan, and had the intention to get rid of Li Changhe through this man who was second only to the emperor in the Daqing Dynasty.
At this time, Xu Xuande also introduced Li Zhenwen and Li Xiangya to Zhu Chengze.
Li Zhenwen and Li Xiangya intended to kneel and salute, but Zhu Chengze said: "Your mother once knew my mother, and you and I don't need to salute." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
The Li brothers and sisters are very happy.
Li Xiangya looked at Zhu Chengze's eyes and also had a little longing.
Zhu Chengze just looked at Xu Yuyan and said, "Sister Yuyan, you and General Li are your wives, can you live a good life?" ”
“……”
Su Yi lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhu Chengze's wood light is not sharp.
Xu Xuande is a human spirit, seeing this, he hurriedly beckoned: "Let's all go in!" Don't stand at the door! ”
The five of them entered the Xu Mansion while laughing.
……
After all, Zhu Chengze is the prince, although he is young, his status is very high, and he needs Xu Ge Lao to come out to greet him in person.
Su Yi followed Xu Xuande into the house, and only after passing the shadow wall did he see an old man with snow-white hair greeted this side with the support of the servants, and after seeing Zhu Chengze, he couldn't help but say that he knelt down and saluted: "Weichen Xu Wenchang knocks on the prince!" ”
"Elder Xu Ge is polite."
Zhu Chengze bent down and helped the old man up.
Xu Wenchang didn't dare to be arrogant, he got up in fear, and entertained Zhu Chengze to the main hall with his son to drink tea, although he had love for his granddaughter, grandson, and granddaughter who returned home, but it was only a few polite greetings, and then asked the slave maid to take the three of them to the backyard to see Mrs. Xu, although he had already seen that his granddaughter's expression was a little strange.
Su Yi then followed the Xu family's mother-in-law into the backyard.
Mrs. Xu loves her daughter very much, and she also dotes on her sister-in-law's children, and she puts out fruit cakes to entertain them, but she doesn't talk about her daughter's marriage and her mother-in-law's relationship.
Li Zhenwen and Li Xiangya were not stupid, and soon realized that Mrs. Xu had something to say to Xu Yuyan, so they excused themselves to go to the garden to find Yuqing and leave the backyard.
After they left, Mrs. Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She retreated left and right and asked Su Yi: "Yuyan, I heard that you and Li Changhe ......"
"I fainted that day, I didn't have a room with my brother-in-law, and after I woke up, because I was unwell, I still don't have a round room."
"You ......"
Mrs. Xu didn't expect that the situation was more serious than the rumors she heard, but after all, she was Xu Yuyan's mother, and she was naturally protective of her daughter: "Yuyan, what are you going to do?" ”
"I don't plan to be married to my brother-in-law, and I plan to reconcile with my brother-in-law!"
Su Yi was blunt.
Mrs. Xu was shocked and said, "This is the emperor's finger marriage!" ”
"So what! Could it be that my mother could not bear to see me and my brother-in-law who shielded my aunt's murder smiling and even giving birth to children for him! ”
Su Yi simply made her words clear.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was so frightened that she took two steps back and whispered, "What happened to you in the Li family?!" ”
"It's not an accident that I found out about my aunt's death!"
Su Yi immediately told Mrs. Xu that Li Changhe fell in love with Ai Xinlian and shielded this white lotus.
“…… My aunt was to ask Ai Xinlian to take the initiative to leave, so she and Ai Xinlian climbed the mountain late at night to enjoy the flowers! The result is an unknown death! ”
"How so!"
Mrs. Xu was shocked, but after all, she was Mrs. Yipin, and she accompanied her husband through many ups and downs, so she calmed down in a blink of an eye, looked at her daughter, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, your uncle is my general after all, and you can't be easily provoked!" ”
She obviously believed her daughter's words, but she was afraid that if she didn't handle it properly, it would lead to a bigger crisis.
