Chapter 46: Rewards and Punishments

The first emperor lost five sons before and after, and he suddenly realized the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, but unfortunately the sons he valued the most were gone.

He began to worry that he would have no successor, so he turned his attention to the other sons he had neglected.

Emperor Yuan He is one of them.

After the test of the first emperor, Emperor Yuan He and the twelfth king of Jin stood out.

The ministers of the court and China were divided into two factions, one was led by Wu Han's maternal grandfather Jin Xiang and other ministers, who strongly supported the Jin king.

The other faction was united by the Chen family and the Wu'an Hou Mansion and other families to elect Emperor Yuan and Emperor to the throne.

Later, Emperor Yuanhe won and was made the crown prince by the first emperor.

The king of Jin was implicated in the affairs of his mother, the imperial concubine Wu Gu, and was demoted from the title of prince to the title of prince of the county, and was driven to the fiefdom, and even the death of the first emperor did not return to Kyoto.

After Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne, Jin Xiang resigned and went into hiding. The Marquis of Pingning was afraid that Yuan and Emperor Qiu would settle accounts and implicate themselves, so he gave Mrs. Pingning Hou a letter of resignation.

In order to show his loyalty, he also remarried the queen's widowed sister-in-law.

After Pingninghou and the queen's concubine got married, they always wanted to have a son, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and Pingninghou worked hard for several years, but failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter.

Later, he was injured by a fall from a horse, and was judged to be infertile by the doctor.

In this life, he is destined to have only one son, Wu Han.

When he wrote to ask for the title of son of the world for this only son, he immediately shocked the jaws of many people.

Some people ridiculed him for not only hurting his body, but also his brain.

If it weren't for the faint trick of the first emperor and concubine, I am afraid that it would not be Emperor Yuan He who is sitting on the dragon chair now, but the twelve princes supported by Jin Xiang, King Changjun.

Wu Han is the grandson of Jin Xiang, and the Marquis of Pingning wants to rely on him to keep the title, but can Emperor Yuan and Emperor agree?

What everyone didn't expect was that Emperor Yuan He actually agreed.

Not only that, he attached great importance to Wu Han, and even tried his best to let him sit in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Now that the Imperial City Division has been handed over to him, the prince can't understand why his suspicious father would trust Wu Han so much.

After Mrs. Pingning Hou hanged herself, she also handed over Wu Han's younger sister, who was less than a year old, to Concubine Mei to raise.

It's really unpredictable!

The prince's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and in the end, it was the coughing sound of Emperor Yuan He who pulled him back to reality.

Wu Han took over the Imperial City Division, and the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple became vacant. There were many people who stretched out their hands to this position, and when Emperor Yuanhe asked who could take over, the crown prince recommended Yan Li to Emperor Yuanhe.

"Father, Yan Li's ability to handle cases is obvious to all, and in the entire Dali Temple, except for Wu Han, his sons can only look down on him."

Hearing that the crown prince praised Yan Li so much, Emperor Yuan He asked, "He is your person." ”

If other princes heard this, they would have been afraid, but the crown prince was still calm. He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Yuanhe: "He is also a courtier of his father's emperor." ”

Emperor Yuanhe suddenly laughed when he heard this, he had so many children under his knees, only the prince dared to speak to him like this. Looking at the black face of the crown prince who had not yet returned white, Emperor Yuan He remembered the picture of him watering the crops under the scorching sun.

That's it, just follow him again.

So, after Wu Han took over the Imperial City Division, Emperor Yuanhe ordered Cheng Yanli of Zuo Temple to temporarily take the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

In other words, Yan Li is still nominally the Zuo Si Cheng of Dali Temple, but in fact he is already the highest-ranking official in Dali Temple, except for Dali Siqing.

With the will of Emperor Yuan He, it means that he can exercise the power of the official rank of the fourth rank with the official rank of the sixth rank.

As soon as Emperor Yuanhe's will came out, some people were naturally happy and some were worried. However, this matter did not attract much attention, because the case of the collapse of the Jiaozhi Hall was closed after many years.

Gui Zhiyao, the former governor of Cangzhou, and Zhang Guangping, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, were involved, Gui Zhiyao and his family members have been disposed of, Zhang Guangping was sentenced to be beheaded at noon, and his family members were exiled to the northwest.

As for Qi Heming, who died in the collapse of the Jiaozhi Palace, Emperor Yuanhe remembered that his merits outweighed his faults, and did not pursue his faults, and gave his widow the order of Liupin'anren, a hundred taels of gold, and a pile of jewels, jade, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

When the holy decree and reward were delivered to Qi's family, Mrs. Qi and Qi Tanying were shocked and delighted.

Especially Mrs. Qi, in the past ten years since her husband's death, the mother and son have been bullied and looked down upon, which made her have a little more resentment towards her husband who died early.

A few days ago, the Holy Lord ordered someone to re-investigate the case of the collapse of the Jiaozhi Temple, and she was afraid that her husband's negligence would affect a pair of children, so she often couldn't sleep at night.

Now that the dust has settled, she has also received a decree and reward for her deceased husband's merits, and she will no longer have to live in fear in the future.

Seeing Mrs. Qi cautiously enshrine the holy decree, Qi Tanying said with a smile: "Mother has a decree, everyone will call you Mrs. Qi in the future." ”

Mrs. Qi smiled, "This is all in exchange for your father's life." After speaking, he sighed and said, "If your father can live, I would rather not have this fate." ”

Hearing her mention Qi Heming, Qi Tanying's heart throbbed. Although the truth of the collapse of the Jiaozhi Temple has been clarified, her father will never come back.

Seeing that her daughter was depressed, Mrs. Qi hurriedly changed the topic, "This time I got an order, Jinghe was entrusted with an important task by the saint, it seems that our family is going to be transferred, tomorrow you go with me to Qingxuguan for a trip, thank Sanqing Tianzun for his protection." ”

Qi Tanying responded, but felt funny in her heart. Before she and Yan Li got married, her mother never hid her dissatisfaction with Yan Li, but after she got married, she liked him more and more, and it was very smooth to arouse his expression.

It seems that this son-in-law has been identified.

Thinking of this, Qi Tanying's mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. Since the marriage, she has had more contact with Yan Li, and her understanding of Yan Li has also increased.

He is not only decisive, but also a person who values love and righteousness, and is even more considerate and thoughtful to her, if he says that he has no good impression of him, Qi Tanying himself does not believe it.

But as long as she thinks of the concubine in his house, she is like a fish in her throat.

But what can be done, the world is like this, Qi Tanying can only warn herself, as a wife, just do your part well, and don't easily deliver your sincerity.

Pingning Hou Mansion

Wu Han was about to go out, but was stopped by Mrs. Pingning Houji.

"Today is A'Juan's birthday, can the prince stay in the mansion and have a meal together as a family?"

The stepwife of Pingning Hou is the daughter of her and her ex-husband, and after Pingning Hou was unable to give birth without falling from a horse, his stepwife took her daughter to the Hou Mansion.

"I can't." Wu Han glanced at her expressionlessly, "This son is going to pick up Yu'er from Concubine Mei's mother." ”

The step-lady took a few steps forward, "But Ahuan said that if the prince doesn't go, her birthday will be over." ”

This time, Wu Han directly ignored it, turned around and left, leaving his stepwife to stomp her feet angrily.

Since there was no hope of giving birth to a child, the stepwife started the idea of a stepson, thinking about marrying her daughter to her stepson, and it was not her who had the final say in the Pingning Houfu in the future.

Who knew that the ninth princess was killed halfway, not only robbed her daughter's marriage, but also used Concubine Mei's hand to prevent herself from interfering in her stepdaughter's upbringing.

How can there be so many nosy, cheeky people in the world?

Just when the step-wife was angry, Wu Han had already received her sister Wu Yu from Concubine Mei's palace, and the ninth princess, the daughter of Concubine Mei, went out of the palace with their brother and sister.
