Chapter 11: The Princess
Zhen Guogong came back in the middle of the night last night, when Wan Jinlan slept Zhengxiang, met at breakfast this day, and after breakfast, Zhen Guogong entered the palace, and came back before the birthday banquet.
When a birthday banquet was in full swing, the arrival of Wan Guifei, who was highly pampered with cloud temples, added a bit of joy to the old man's birthday banquet.
It is extremely difficult for the palace concubine to return to her parents' home, even if she saves her relatives, and most of them will be at night.
When everyone saw that Concubine Wan had received a grace to return to the mansion this time, they all sighed in their hearts that Concubine Wan's favor was worthy of her reputation.
Even when Chengen Gong celebrated his birthday, Queen Wang couldn't go back to the palace.
"Heavenly grace is vast, Your Majesty specially allows the concubine to go back to the house to celebrate her father's birthday, and the concubine is grateful."
After some scenes, Wan Guifei said some auspicious words, and after drinking a glass of wine with everyone, she left the hall with tears in her eyes.
The guests can understand that it is not easy for the palace concubine to return to her parents' home, and it is normal for people to seize the time to get together with their families at this time.
In the old lady's Jinchun Hall, Wan Guifei and the old lady's mother and daughter had tears flashing in their eyes.
Since Concubine Wan entered the palace, there have been almost no times she has snuggled up to her mother's side like this. After she gave birth to Princess Anyang, she was gracious and let her mother enter the palace, and she had never been so close to her mother.
There are many rules in the palace, that is, when the mother and daughter meet, the mother also has to salute first.
The old lady was very able to hold back her emotions, and soon hid her tears, and when she wiped her veil, she could not see any traces.
"Mother, the eldest brother has returned to Beijing to serve, do you know about this?"
When Concubine Wan heard the news today, she accidentally knocked over a cup of tea.
Why is her Wanjia called the first Jiangmen family of the Great Wei Dynasty, or because the family has guarded the southwest for generations, she dares to say that the specific situation in the southwest, the Wanjia family knows best, and even the emperor only knows the local situation from the excerpts.
There are 200,000 garrisons in the southwest, and the eldest brother says that he doesn't want it, and he wants to go back to Beijing, what do you want?
Zhen Guogong came back in the middle of the night last night, and until now, the old lady has not spoken a few words to her eldest son, and she really does not know that her eldest son is going to return to Beijing.
The old man didn't come back in front, and the mother and daughter didn't know who to ask.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Zhen Guogong and the old Guogong to enter the Jinchun Hall one after the other.
When asked about this, Zhen Guogong and the old man were very calm, obviously the old man was in the know.
"Niangniang doesn't have to make a fuss, I will take over the post of secretary of the military department in the near future, and I have been staying in Kyoto ever since."
The former military department Shangshu was imprisoned for embezzling military salaries, and it was just right for him to propose to return to Beijing at this time.
Wan Guifei can't see her eldest brother so calm, 200,000 military power and a Shangshu, which is higher and which is lower?
The younger sister is not only the concubine in the palace, but also Wan Shizhong's own sister, the family is both prosperous and lossy, so Wan Shizhong has to make it clear.
Although he is a military general, he also has a certain sensitivity to the court pattern.
The atmosphere in Jinchun Hall is solemn, and there is no atmosphere of family reunion.
With a wave of the old lady's hand, the mother-in-law around her retreated quietly and stood at the door with a solemn face.
"The concubine should know that Taizu raised troops in the southwest and won the world. Throughout the previous dynasties and history, every one of the people who raised troops in the southwest was a long-term trouble, and the army was strong. ”
"My Wanjia has been guarding the southwest since the Taizu period, and I am loyal, but it has been too long."
"The Holy Lord's sending the prison army Jiang Shan to the southwest has already explained the problem."
What Wan Shizhong didn't say was that Jiang Shan went to the southwest, as a prison army, he wanted to interfere in everything, not to mention interfering in military affairs, and secretly investigated the affairs of his house in private, it was difficult for him not to suspect that Jiang Shan was trying to catch him and do something.
Jiang Shan was sent by the saint, and his position naturally represents the saint, since the saint has doubts about him, he might as well give up the military power directly and return to Beijing.
Concubine Wan Guifei is still uncomfortable, she has been able to pamper the harem for many years, not only by virtue of her beauty.
The identity of the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion is what the queen also does.
After so many years of subservience to the queen and queen, my heart is both aggrieved and happy, and the happy thing is that although the queen is the queen, she can't help her.
All this is due to the 200,000 army in the southwest.
Seeing his daughter's face, the old man asked gently: "Qin'er, why are you impetuous, but there is something to worry about?" ”
Wan Guifei's maiden name is Wan Qin'er, and her husband didn't call her Guifei, but he cared about her in the name of his father.
Concubine Wan sighed and said: "Father, I have been in the palace for many years, and I can live well at home, and I have not been on good terms with the queen and concubine for a long time. ”
Queen Wang is the successor, with the second prince King An, and Concubine Chen Shufei has the eldest prince King Shun.
She had no children, she only gave birth to Princess Anyang, and her relationship with Concubine Chen Shu was okay, except for competing for favor with the queen, there was nothing else to do, but since the third prince Xiao Minghuan was recorded in her name, in the palace, the pattern of the past has changed.
The old lady never spoke, but sat there squinting and listening to the conversation of several people.
Wan Jinlan, a junior, sat honestly and upright next to his mother without making a sound.
She felt that she was quite out of place in Jinchun Hall, but she really wanted to hear what they were talking about.
How could the old man and the prince of Zhenguo not know the situation of Concubine Wan.
They also understood that the pattern in the palace was deliberately done by the saints.
Originally, the concubine only had the daughter of Princess Anyang, but no matter what happens in the future, she can be a concubine in peace.
But after the three princes were recorded in the name of the concubine, everything changed.
The concubine, who didn't want to fight, now took the initiative to join the battlefield.
The old prince can only praise in his heart, the saint is a good hand at fiddling with the court.
Thinking of the fate of the first queen's family, the old prince was vigilant in his heart, and he discussed with his son with his talent, put down the southwest, and returned to Beijing.
Zhenguo Gong guarded the southwest, and worked hard and made high achievements, even if he released the military power as the saint's will, he couldn't think about nothing.
Even if they don't calculate, for the sake of face, the saint has to give a real power to say the past, so that the monarch and the ministers can enjoy themselves.
Since then, the Zhenguo Mansion has also been exempted from being feared by the emperor.
Both sides are at ease, and the Zhenguo Mansion can continue to prosper.
Wan Guifei held the old lady's hand, and said with a hesitant expression: "Father, I also planned to let Jinlan sit on the throne of Wang Zhengfei, you see...?" ”
Why did she tie her mother's family to the chariot of the third prince, but she also had the intention of fighting.
If she doesn't fight, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince in the future, she will not be able to fall well.
It was a great shame for her Wan Qin'er to be a concubine for the saint who was still the prince, and in the future, she would have to hold the initiative in her own hands.
The third prince was born in an unbearable background, and no one could rely on her and the government except for her.
If Jinlan becomes Princess Duan, she will treat her better.
Yes, Concubine Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with her plans.
