Chapter 41 The Golden Boy's Ambition Is Higher Than the Sky, and the Queen Laments the Decline of Xungui
The queen learned that the emperor bypassed her for Jing'er, and she was a little unhappy, she was not stingy with the title, but she was unhappy that the emperor did not consult her on everything, and should she be the queen?
The queen invited the emperor to come over to speak that night, just for Jing'er's matter, although Jing'er's appointment was handled by the Ministry of Rites, the banquet in the palace was taken care of by her, so she naturally wanted to ask.
"How do you set up a nondescript Lord Weng? Directly sealed the county lord is, the lord of Weng is equivalent to the county monarch, there is no mansion, you often say that Jing'er is weak, afraid that she will be wronged, if she does not have her own mansion in the future, is she not afraid that she will be wronged in her husband's family if she marries? ”
Listening to her father and queen mother talk about her knighthood, Jing'er only buried her head in eating, but in fact, her heart was not calm, listening to the queen mother's meaning, she still thought her title was low? She thought that she could only be a small county lord, but she could compare with the same county lord, and the queen mother still wanted her to be the county lord, is it true? Will she be able to have her own mansion in the future?
The golden boy also raised his heart, it is related to his sister's future, he is more nervous than his sister, Jing'er is not more than the jade girl is the biological princess, these things outside the body are especially important, he has not thought of Jing'er's lifelong events, but I feel that having a good title is more important than marrying a good family, a good family is someone else's home, and the title is his own.
The emperor took a sip of wine, sighed comfortably, and said: "I originally thought the same way as you, but Jing'er is still young now, and she is too high for fear of being criticized, I mean that when she is married, she will say kiss, and then give her the title of county lord and give her the county lord's mansion, and her family affairs will be smoother, you see?" ”
When the emperor is in an extremely comfortable mood, he will call himself me, not me, the queen knows that her words and deeds have won the emperor's heart, and she has figured out a little, the more she treats the adopted children badly, the more the emperor will treat them well, that is, sincerely against her, if she treats the two children with love, the emperor will not care much.
"Your Majesty Shengming, it's really good to be graced when you get to the time, and it's good to say goodbye, alas~ When they came, they were still in infancy, and now they can be knighted, and they will say goodbye in a few years, this day flies quickly, and the concubine feels a lot older when she looks in the mirror recently."
The queen was rarely weak, not as neat and elegant as Su Ri, and the emperor's attitude softened, stroking the back of her hand and saying, "You are two years younger than me, how can you talk about old age." "It's him, he's really old, his peers are going to be grandfathers, but he doesn't even have a son, there is no successor to this huge country, how can he not worry.
The queen lowered her eyes and bowed, and her face was full of sadness, "The concubine is incompetent and can't extend the incense for the Yuwen family." ”
The emperor sighed, "Don't say this, aren't these three around us all incense." ”
Both daughters and adopted children can offer incense to their parents, but they both understand that they are not talking about this.
This topic is too heavy, the emperor doesn't want to say more, seeing that the golden boy has been looking at them, as if he has a lot to say, the emperor teased him, "Jing'er is going to have a knighthood, does the golden boy want one?" ”
The golden boy rolled his eyes, nodded, and said, "Yes!" I want to be a prince, just like my uncle and grandfather, but my family doesn't have a prince to let me do it, I'm learning kung fu now, when I grow up, I will join the army, help my father regain lost territory, and when I come back from a victory, my father will make me a prince, okay? ”
If ordinary people dare to say this, I am afraid that they will be detained as a great rebel, and it is the duty of every Dazhou citizen to defend the territory of the Great Zhou, how can you let the emperor crown you as the prince just because you went to war? However, this person is a golden boy, and the emperor feels that he has ambition and deserves to be his son, and the children of the royal family should not worry about inheriting the knighthood by blood, and going to the battlefield to fight and be knighted with military exploits is the demeanor that the children of the royal family should have.
"Good! Be ambitious! Father promised you that when you came back from victory, your father would make you the prince. "He doesn't even have a son now, if the golden boy is not crowned king, when the boys of the golden generation grow up, then there will be no king, if the golden boy is promising, the emperor will never be stingy with a prince.
The golden boy smiled brightly, lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of food, as if he could go to war tomorrow, and rode a high-headed horse to return triumphantly to the king.
The queen said: "It's still our family's children who have a future, I see that the children of the Xungui family are not as good as the generation, which is not dependent on the family's shade to inherit the lord, where is there still their ancestors' ambition to expand the territory." ”
The emperor of this dynasty has many preferential treatment for the noble family, but is more harsh on his own clan, Emperor Taizu and the brothers who followed him to fight the country are worshipped, it is the friend of the tribulation at the end of the year, and they are blessed to share after getting the country, and they are treated preferentially, among which the four major princes have been stretched to the present and are still prosperous, if it were not for the opposition of the Wenchen at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu was eager to let them be hereditary replacement, and now the hereditary three generations are the first to descend again, Emperor Taizu feels wronged by the brothers.
Compared with the regulations of the previous dynasty's Dafeng clan, the eldest son inherited his father's lordship, and the rest of the sons inherited the lord, the clansmen of this dynasty did have a very difficult time. In the previous dynasty, the eldest son of a prince inherited the title and became the king of the county, and the other sons in law became the prince of the county, these people all had titles and titles, so that there was a large number of children in the clan, and it would cost a lot of money to raise them every year, arousing the resentment of the subjects, especially the noble family, the titles of our family were obtained by the bloody struggle of the ancestor Ma Ge shroud, and the children of the family can only inherit one lord, but your royal family has a large number of feudal children, if there is no us people to defend the royal family, where do you come from the brocade clothes and jade food.
It is to Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the establishment of the dynasty to set an example for his own family, in addition to his own children all have titles, the rest of the grandchildren are extremely harsh, only the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter of each family have titles, and the rest of the grandchildren will not let go of his favor again.
Because of this, the population of the clan has decreased sharply, and the people are thriving, such as the Donghai County Mansion, you can give birth to you, and there is only one title, how to use this meager income to feed a large family, that is your family's business.
And the titles of the children of the royal family are reduced from generation to generation, and there are only four levels of titles, which are for the prince and the prince of the county, but the title of the noble family can be hereditary for three generations, and there are five levels, which is for the prince and uncle, for example, the four major princes of the palace today, which is the hereditary three generations of lords, which is enough for them to prosper for several generations.
At that time, Emperor Taizu's move was very loyal to the courtiers, not at all like the emperors of the previous dynasties, after the rabbit died and the dog cooked the bird, and those old ministers who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the country all took the hands of their children before they died, and worked hard to make them sure to defend the royal family and be loyal and conscientious. Today's Emperor Tai'an is the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and he has always been kind to the noble family, if not, he has reached the age of standing and still has no children under his knees, and the clan has long been ready to move, where can he sit so peacefully.
