Ciyuan Hall.
Lu Yunsheng, who rushed back from Shaoxing overnight, was reporting to Concubine Yan what he had seen and heard in King Rong's mansion yesterday.
"Concubine, this loyal king has changed greatly, it is not what it used to be, not only did he show off yesterday, but also destroyed the matter of Wei Guansun succeeding King Rong, it is reported that he humiliated Concubine Qian for his biological mother, and Concubine Qian has left the palace and returned to her mother's house."
After listening to the report, Yan Guifei, who was originally in a good mood because of the recent physical changes, became gloomy at the moment, "What about Wei Guansun?" ”
"When the little one left, Wei Guansun was still dizzy, but he was still in King Rong's mansion, but the four county lords were also unhappy with King Rong, and they should go back to Beijing after waking up."
"It's all a bunch of rubbish, and none of them can get things done!" Yan Guifei held her forehead,
At this time, a small yellow door came in, "Concubine, Daguan Dong asked the villain to pass the word, and the official family will come to you in about a quarter of an hour, so that you can prepare." ”
Then he lowered his voice again, "In addition, the official family has approved the charter for the election of the prince. With that, he left.
Yan Guifei thought for a while, and then instructed Lu Yunsheng, "Arrange it, wait for Wei Guansun to come back, let him still prepare to run for the election, the identity matter, the main position will think of a solution for him, by the way, you will go to the Qian Mansion in person later......"
……
Lin'an is the pattern of Nangong North City, and the Chaotianmen at the foot of the mountain on the eastern side of Wushan is the dividing line.
To the south of Chaotianmen, there are all the imperial court offices, and there are only six people's squares, all of whom are high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
The Baomin Fang near Chaotianmen is one of them, and the Qian Mansion Mansion is located here, which also shows the prominence of the Qian family from a certain point of view.
Qian Tao, the head of the contemporary Qian family, is currently the secretary of Taifu Temple, and it is a coincidence that this Taifu Temple is just south of Qianfu, just one street away.
What is this Taifu Temple for?
To put it simply, it is in charge of the treasury and official trade, as well as the responsibility of printing money and cashiering officials, which is regarded as the central bank of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are other chores, such as collecting certain commercial taxes and the like.
In short, there is a lot of power and complicated affairs, so there is a joking called 'busy qing'.
On weekdays, Qian Tao was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, so he couldn't even go to his sister's birthday, but today he had to take half a day off to stay at home, just because Princess Rong suddenly returned to her parents' house.
In these years, the married daughter has not returned to her parents' house at every turn, let alone the princess.
In the flower hall of the back house, the brother and sister have been arguing for a long time.
"Li Niang, I told you a long time ago, you can push the boat down the river, but you must not act recklessly, why don't you listen? Have you forgotten all the rules and regulations of the family!? ”
"Am I presumptuous? It's not that you won't act? What is the purpose of my Qian family's intermarriage with the Zhao family for generations? Aren't you still thinking that one day, my Qian family's bloodline can regain the supremacy!? ”
"You keep quiet, even so, then don't be in a hurry, everything is in the long run."
"It's been almost 300 years, how long will it be?"
Since Wu Yueguo returned to the Song Dynasty, it has been three hundred years since the difference of ten years, and after returning to the Song Dynasty, the Qian family has indeed received great preferential treatment from the Zhao family, and there is no shortage of titles, official positions, wealth and glory.
But it would be wrong to think that with the merit of sacrificing the land, you can be rich and prosperous for a hundred generations, in comparison, the credit of the Chai and Zhou families of the country should be greater, but the descendants of these two families can be called a miserable, and there is only one side branch left with an empty title, which can be regarded as maintaining face for the Zhao family.
The reason why the Qian family has always been prominent and wealthy depends on the teachings of the "Qian Family Rules" to their descendants, and the other is that they continue to marry the Zhao and Song royal families and become the Zhao family in disguise.
With the continuous improvement of the Qian family's "Zhao content", the Qian family changed from a eunuch to a relative, and its status was further improved.
And an important purpose of the Qian family hidden in the intermarriage is to make the Qian family's bloodline truly merge with the Zhao and Song emperors' bloodlines, and the closest to this goal is Qian Yu's seventh granddaughter, who became the crown princess of the first prince of Song Xiaozong, but unfortunately the prince died early and fell short.
In fact, Concubine Qian's marriage to King Rong is the effort made by this generation of the Qian family for this purpose.
At that time, the Zhao official family had not yet ascended the throne, and King Rong was not yet King Rong, so he married the Li family, and the Huang family was a maidservant at that time.
It's just that Concubine Qian did not give birth to a son and a half daughter as she wished, but it was the Huang family, who had a humble status, who gave birth to Zhao Mengqi, which is why Concubine Qian was obsessed with the Huang family.
The quarrel was fruitless, Qian Tao had to take out the authority of the head of the family, "Li Niang, since you are back this time, then stay at home and don't go anywhere." ”
"You mean to ground me?"
"You can understand it this way, now for the sake of the prince, the DPRK and China have made a lot of trouble, let's wait and see for the time being in the limelight, so as not to be careless and never recover! I am in charge of you, not only for your good, but also for the entire Qian family. ”
At this moment, the steward came to report, "The head of the family, Lu Zhonggui came to visit, saying that he was ordered by Concubine Yan Guifei to discuss something important with the thirteen ladies. ”
Qian Tao didn't agree with his sister's conspiracy with Yan Guifei, but now he naturally refused, "No, tell him that Sino-foreign traffic is a big taboo, and my Qian family doesn't do it!" ”
