Chapter 313: No Intention to Suppress
After Lu Man listened to the prince's words, he was even more impressed with the eldest princess. The old lady has the trust of the emperor and the crown prince so much, except for occasionally giving up her face to ask for an official for her children and grandchildren, everyone else can find her own position and never overstep the rules. also reminded Lu Man that if she is gone, she can only remember the benefits to the royal family, but not the love for the royal family. She has been cautious for decades, maintaining a delicate relationship with the emperor and the crown prince, caring for her younger brother and nephew, and abiding by her duties as a courtier. Therefore, they can always remember this rare family affection and not disgust them, right?
The eldest princess suppressed the joy on her face again, and said, "The emperor told me the truth, saying that Zhan Wei has performed several miraculous feats in this war, and the war can be fought so smoothly and ended so quickly, not only is Generalissimo Xie a god with soldiers, but Zhan Wei has also made great contributions." The emperor also said that he was young and promising, and he was the pillar of Dachu. The emperor will give Zhan the only uncle, and he also wants to promote him to the governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion. ”
Lu Man was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "So high? ”
not only gave a knighthood, but also gave a second-grade member.
The eldest princess nodded, and said, "Zhan Wei is too young, and he likes to go off the rails with swords, and the purpose of going to war this time is not pure. I don't think he's fit to sit in such a high position at his age. Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is uncertain, I am afraid that I will not be there, and he will be used by others on the wrong step, so this family will play...... This time, the emperor will also reward the father and son of the Xie family. But listening to the emperor's intentions, Xie Laofox had already metabolized the handsome man to refuse the emperor's kindness, and he had to resign from the real vacancy and hand over the military power. His family won the favor of the emperor and produced a crown princess, and the prestige of the Xie family in the army for several generations was quite high, and they did not dare to hold too much military power, which made the emperor dislike. In doing so, they not only made the future crown princess a good person and made way for Xie Dalang, but also retreated...... We should learn from them. I thought, the title can be accepted, and it is only an uncle. But the power of the governor is too great, and Zhan Wei is only twenty-two years old. Until he has honed his temperament and fully won the trust of the emperor and the crown prince, he must not be allowed to enter the highest power circle in the army. Bengong helped him resign, saying that Zhanwei's ability and cultivation were not enough, and it was a coincidence that he could make miraculous achievements, and asked the emperor to sharpen him for a few more years, and it was best not to let him become a military attaché. The emperor thought about it again and again, saying that he was a rare handsome talent, and it was a pity not to follow the martial arts. The title will still be given to him, but the official position will not be high, and at most he will be given a third-rank military attaché. He said to Lu Man again, "Good boy, this palace is not to block Zhanwei's way, nor is it to raise his heirs and suppress his concubine, it is really for his good." If he can't figure it out, try to persuade him. It is not easy to become a third-grade official at such a young age. ”
The emperor was very relieved to see that the old sister was so virtuous and virtuous. Jiang Zhanwei's achievements this time are really great, and he can even compare with Xie Dashuai. Many old ministers said that if there was no black riot camp led by Jiang Zhanwei, the war would have to be fought for at least another three years. In three years, not to mention how much the people at the border will suffer, even the expenditure of the court is huge. Therefore, in terms of military exploits alone, these rewards given to him are not exaggerated.
The old sister's concerns are the same as his. Jiang Zhanwei and Xie Yu are both the pillars of the family and the country that he left for his son, and he also feels that although Jiang Zhanwei is talented, he is too young, and he doesn't like to do things according to common sense, so he must go through some polishing.
But because Jiang Zhanwei's exploits were too great, and the old sister's face, he was embarrassed to openly suppress Jiang Zhanwei, but he didn't expect the old sister to take the initiative herself.
The emperor was happy and made a wish that he would consider the official positions of Marquis Jiang and the third master in the coming year, and he knew that this was a major heart disease of the old sister.
The eldest princess instinctively felt that she should refuse his kindness, after all, it was a benefit from suppressing her grandson.
In a family, it is normal to exchange one offspring for another offspring, and it is also normal to sacrifice the interests of individual offspring for the benefit of the whole family.
However, this grandson has been suppressed by the family, and even has become separated from this family. It seems too unfair to him to find a way to get out of the control of the family, and to sacrifice his interests for other sons or for the sake of the entire family.
But the old lady was really reluctant to refuse, and the eldest and third had always been a problem for her in terms of promotion. It is easy to say that officials below the fourth rank are easy to say, but it is not easy to be promoted to officials above the fourth grade. The relationship between his family and Wang Guozhang is not good, and Wang Guozhang has been operating in the court for decades and has many wings. The emperor tried to move the position of the boss twice, but was blocked by Wang Guozhang and his party with excuses. Not to mention the second straw bag, that official is the end. And the other two sons are really good, upright, diligent, and loyal......
The old lady didn't dare to say this to Lu Man, she was still a little embarrassed. She really didn't do this to suppress her concubine, but it was indeed for Jiang Zhanwei's long-term development, maybe the emperor also had this meaning, but the result of the matter was to suppress the future of her grandson and seek benefits for her son-in-law. I thought about it again, and in the future, I would give Zhan Wei more compensation from my private treasury, and then I would tell the eldest and the third child that it would be better for Zhan Wei's family......
Lu Man didn't know the little Jiujiu in the eldest princess's heart, but felt that the eldest princess was extremely worried. From the concubine who was suppressed into the dust, to the uncle and the high-ranking second-grade master, the rise is so smooth and fast, it is easy to cause self-confidence to swell dramatically. What's more, Jiang Zhanwei's temperament is already awkward, if he doesn't polish it too much, it is really easy to have problems. Jiang Zhan can only make so many contributions, he has his own ability, but there are also other accidental factors in it.
Lu Man was a human being in two lives, and after another life and death, he saw through many things. Peace, happiness, is more important than everything. Ministers, or ministers with a bad temper, few have good results......
However, she felt that the eldest princess should not refuse on behalf of Jiang Zhanwei without authorization. Xie Laoguo refused on behalf of his son, and may have already sent someone to send a letter to discuss with his son. What's more, Xie Dashuai is the grandfather of the country, and he is making way for his son and daughter, and he is not wronged.
And what about Jiang Zhanwei? In this family, he is not a grandson who has been protected by the family and enjoys the honor of the family, although this family has made him worry-free, but it has been ruthlessly suppressing him, and he is also ruthless to his biological mother and younger siblings. He has been hiding his courage since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will do everything possible to go out to earn a future, not only for himself, but also for the people he wants to protect.
Those exploits were earned by himself with his own life, and the family hardly helped him at all (except for himself, an outsider), and pulled him back.
The eldest princess decided the future for him, which was unfair to him and easy to arouse his disgust.
Thinking of that stubborn and cold face, Lu Man felt a little distressed.
