At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the restraint on women was slightly stricter than now, but it was not restricted to the daughters who were allowed to go out to participate in all kinds of literary banquets, but there were few horsemen, and the noble daughters also needed to be covered by the curtain when they went out, and then they were "shortened" into hats, and now, they are even more loose, not only many aristocratic women often love fresh clothes and angry horses, most of them no longer wear hats and other things to cover up the cumbersome, and it is also common to show up, and it has set off a wind of women wearing men's clothes, which the world is accustomed to. Except for a very small number of people who abide by the old rules and regulations, there are not many idlers who accuse this "world of decay".

However, in the end, it is a long journey, not a familiar situation, for a small number of right and wrong, of course, Yuan does not allow his daughters to ride like men, Wang Shi Niang is the youngest daughter of the family, compared to her sister Wang Shi Niang has a lot of arrogance, in this good spring season, you can also enjoy the coastal scenery on the boat when you are on the waterway, and you can stay on the land, after this half day of stuffiness and bumps, the heart is really impatient, she is just learning to ride soon, it is a fresh time, it is when He Zhan took the initiative to make such a proposal, immediately showed infinite expectations, looked up without saying anything, and reached out to pull the corner of his mother's clothes, silently coquettish.

Wang Qilang also echoed on the side: "Mother, at this time, it is far away from the city, and it is a quiet place in the suburbs, let's follow more parts in broad daylight, not afraid of being provoked, the journey is boring and bumpy, so that the younger brothers and sisters can ride and relax, and it can also dissipate a little fatigue and speed up the trip." ”

Seeing that his son and He Zhan asked for construction like this, and his daughter was also looking forward to it, Yuan had no choice but to agree, and only instructed Qilang: "Your sister is learning riding for the first time, but she has to take care of it, and she should not be strong." ”

When Wang Shiniang cheered and asked to stop, He Zhan looked at Liu Xiaoniang, and when he saw that she was also looking at her, he smiled again: "The little girl also feels depressed, why don't I take you to ride for a while, the natural scenery of the fields along the way is beautiful, I guess you have rarely seen it at this age." That look is quite suspicious of "abduction".

Since the temptation before leaving Suzhou that day, but the next day, seeing that Liu Xiaoniang had returned to normal, He Zhan couldn't help but have the opportunity to talk in detail, but there are always servants and concubines around Liu Xiaoniang, and he has to have some scruples as a veritable "foreign man", and finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Lu Xing, and this time he decisively grasped it.

"Is it permissible for the mother?" Little Lady Liu is as well-behaved as ever, but she also expressed her willingness to ride.

Of course, the Yuan family will not have any objections, firstly, the people are now open, and the little lady Liu is indeed young at this time, so she will not be bound by the "give or not kiss", so she just told He Zhan: "Be more careful, the little lady Liu is still young, don't have any accidents." ”

He Zhan smiled and promised, while arriving in front of the car, just saw Liu Xiaoniang leaning out, without saying a word, she was "fished", not waiting for the girl's feet to land, directly put on the saddle, he also got on the horse, not abrupt, because Liu Xiaoniang is young, the two little short legs can't even reach the iron stirrup, just rely on both hands to grasp the ring, even if someone holds the Xinjiang traction, it is difficult to ensure that it will not fall down, and it is necessary to ride together to ensure safety.

He Shishi was close to the crown at this time, and the little lady Liu was just five years old, even if she rode together like this, it would not attract attention.

Of course, Wang Qilang intends to lure away a few Xiaolangjun and Niangzi of the Wang family in front, and He Shishi takes Liu Xiaoniang to ride behind, and the whispering of the two is not afraid of falling into people's ears.

But it was not a short ride, about half a moment later, He Zhan began to speak, but he went straight to the point, without a little foreshadowing: "Pei Houxu died, and the poisoning of Ye Zhaoyuan was announced by the heavenly family, it is said that Ye Zhaoyuan was dissatisfied with his father and brother being implicated by Pei Zheng and the two clans, so he had a heart of revenge, Ye Zhaoyuan was executed, and his father and brother who were exiled to serve in the border region because Pei Zheng was implicated were also held accountable and executed. ”

Subsequently, Pan Rebellion, who refused to obey the edict in Yingzhou and supported his own troops, not only colluded with the Northern Liao to defeat the army of the Great Zhou crusade, but also broke through the Xianzhou Chongzhou and other borders under the jurisdiction of the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion, openly proclaimed himself the king of Andong and submitted to the Northern Liao. Therefore, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when it was strong, the Liaodong, Goguryeo, Bohai and other regions under its jurisdiction were all out of control. ”

After He Zhan finished speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly, and saw that the girl who was half-embraced by him looked calm, only stiffened his back, did not speak, but he was not surprised, he couldn't help but sigh: "Pan's rebellious trip caused hundreds of officials and ministers to be angry, but the imperial court ignored the fall of territorial sovereignty, and the sage seemed to be even more angry with Pei Zheng, and soon issued an edict, all those who have the same origin as Jingzhao Pei's and Zheng's will not be allowed to enter the official for life, and they are not even allowed to participate in the imperial examination." ”

From the previous dynasty to the present, the Pei and Zheng clans, which have a history of hundreds of years, have been completely defeated and will never turn over.

"Up to now, with the support of the strong army of Northern Liao, Pan Wei destroyed the Song Desert again, and intended to capture Jizhou, Pingzhou and other places, and pointed at Youzhou soldiers to commit the Central Plains." When He Zhan said this, he smiled suddenly: "However, a year after Empress Pei's death, when many officials were urging him to establish a new queen, the sage tried his best to disagree with the public, declaring that in this life and this life, only Empress Pei has one wife, and he will not establish a queen. Only the niece of the Queen Mother, Liu, was named a concubine. ”

Liu Xiaoniang couldn't help lowering her eyes, the saint is like this, in the eyes of the world, she undoubtedly has a deep affection for Empress Pei's deceased wife.

She still didn't want to speak, so she only listened to He Zhan continue: "Since Pei Zheng wiped out the clan and Pei Hou died, the originally declining Jingzhao Xie clan quickly dug up, and replaced Pei Zheng with the Empress Dowager's father's Wei clan, and jumped into Jingzhao Shiwang!" ”

Webster also repaid, when Pei Zheng plotted against the case, Xie was one of the first to take the lead.

"Xie Raoping was originally only the county lieutenant of Qi County, because of his marriage with the Wei family and was promoted by the heavenly family, he actually jumped into the imperial history of the Cheng, and later, he took the lead in forming a crowd to impeach Pei Zheng and won a complete victory.

Regarding the Jingzhao Xie family, Liu Xiaoniang didn't pay attention to it in the past, until this Xie Raoping was promoted to the middle of the imperial history, and instigated his friends to target Pei Zheng and strive to convict Pei Zheng, she had to pay attention.

Although Xie also belongs to the surname of the Great Zhou, but within two generations, since the time of Emperor Suzong, Jingzhao this branch is not reused, Xie Raoping's father and ancestor, and even uncle, the highest grade is just the history of the Xiazhou Thorn, although he became famous at a young age, by the Ming Jingke and the first and won the head, but also waited for eight years without awarding, but later on the prince, Xie as Wei's in-law, was named a county lieutenant of Ji County by Emperor Dezong, and was the next official of the ninth grade, who knew that Dezong died, in just a few years, this Xie Raoping can be in the position and Xiangguo!

The speed of promotion is the only one in the two hundred years of the Great Zhou.

He Zhan continued: "In addition to Xie Xiangguo, many prime ministers in the political affairs hall fell into the families of Wei, Mao, Li, Huo, etc., all of whom were strongly accused of Pei Zheng and other henchmen, either headed by Xie Xiangguo, or followed by Feng Wei Xiangguo...... It is worth noting that the Xue family, who has been in-law with Jingzhao Pei for several generations, has also entered the prime minister as a political minister. ”

The Xue family? Little Lady Liu finally raised her eyebrows, and the eyes that did not match her immature face and her eyes went a little deeper.

"There are more ...... such as Yao Qian"

Yao Qian! Little Lady Liu couldn't help but clench her grip on the iron - this is the key person who accused Pei Zheng of rebellion!

"Since the fight against Pan and supporting the army, the imperial court has transferred Yao Qian to lead the army to crusade, and has been defeated repeatedly, resulting in the loss of territory, but this Yao Qian is not only not punished, but has risen to prominence, and now he has been the protector of Anxi, and now it seems that Yao Duhu and Xie Xiangguo have been very close to the heavenly family."

It has been more than three years since Pei Zheng destroyed the door, and after that bloody killing, no one dares to mention the rebellion case now, and the beneficiaries are naturally gradually revealed.

"Mao Xiangguo was just a big man back then, only because he had a meritorious role in finding out the rebellion, and he became the prime minister. By the way, the Yuan Thorn History who matched Yao Ji to Liu Shaoqing was Mao Xiangguo's former subordinate officials, and he was greatly favored in three years, and Yuan Thorn Shi remarried his niece, because the Queen Mother was favored by the sage and named a virtuous concubine. He Zhan paused a little when he said this, carefully saved, and after seeing that the look of the girl who was embraced by him remained unchanged, the corners of his lips pulled up a trace of an extremely ironic smile: "Concubine Yuanxian is just that, Empress Pei died, Xie Xiangguo's niece was originally a popular choice for the queen, but I don't want to miss the position of concubine later, and now she is named Concubine Shu." ”

Does this seem more interesting? Little Lady Liu smiled at the corner of her lips.

I heard He Zhan say again: "I even found out that the scribe who tried to threaten the store in Xianzizhai that day was Mao Xiangguo's cousin, who had not been ranked for many years, and Mao Xiangguo was only favored after he was heavy, and now he is going to Chang'an to take office, and he will be appointed Jing Zhaoyin!" ”

Although since the founding of the father of Suzong, the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been covered with many diseases, and the heavenly family has been unvirtuous from time to time, but these people who have not been ranked for many years have to take the important position of Sanpin Jing Zhaoyin in a flash, which is indeed one of the few ridiculous anecdotes since the founding of the country.

"The person who disputed with him, Yushan Shao Jiulang also had a surname, his grandfather was the assassin of Shezhou, but his father died early and was not awarded, but now he wants to go to Kyoto to apply for the exam, Shao Jiulang is upright and crazy, although his literary talent is there, his temperament is really not suitable for his career, and now he has offended the nephew of the Mao family who is just right, and he is afraid that it will be more bumpy in the future."

After He Zhan finished speaking, he didn't get his "Fifth Sister Pei" to advise, guessing that it should be because these officialdom personnel are too complicated, and although she is now reborn, her identity and age really can't interfere much, so she stopped and talked about something else: "There is one thing, there are many negligences in the world now, the wife of the Liu family, that is, the grandmother of the current grandmother, although she was born in Jingzhao Wei, she is not the same mother as the queen mother. ”

Liu Xiaoniang was stunned, and subconsciously thought that Mrs. Liu was a concubine? It's unlikely, the Liu family Jingzhao Shiwang has a long history, although the limelight since Dezong is slightly inferior to the Pei family, and this Mrs. is the stepfamily, but she is the wife of the clan, although the Wei family is a surname, she has also been out of the curtain to listen to the young emperor of the Queen Duan Huiwen, but the family is still weak compared to Jingzhao Shiwang, this Mrs. Wei has no talent to serve the public in the past, if it is a concubine, how can she not marry into the Liu family as a grandmother.

I only heard He Zhan immediately explain: "Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei, the wife of Xie Xiangguo, are both concubines, but the Queen Mother is a concubine." ”

Little Lady Liu was surprised - Empress Dowager Wei was her "ex-mother-in-law", she had never heard that the Empress Dowager was a concubine! However, he was immediately relieved, Dezong passed away since his Yuan, and he was not registered in the palace for many years, only Wei's son was named a concubine, and he was favored for many years, although he did not reach the throne, but because of the only concubine of Dezong for more than ten years, Wei's mother is expensive by her son, of course, no one will talk about it as a concubine, not to mention that the son of Concubine Wei was later reserved, and now it is more respectful of the ninety-five, how can anyone mention the identity of the Empress Dowager Wei's concubine.

"For example, at present, Wei Xiangguo is also a concubine, of course, he is the mother of the Empress Dowager Wei, but Wei's family is not trustworthy except for Wei Xiang, at least compared to Xie and Mao; Moreover, Mrs. Wei was originally a step-room, if it is said that the saint is sympathetic to her relatives, she should take care of Mrs. Tai's own Liu Shaoqing, however, it is the eldest Liu Yuyi who is the head of the Yuan marriage and is named the county duke; Besides, Er's father Liu Shaoqing, who was originally the commander of Fuyang County, returned to Beijing more than a year ago to serve his term of office, until Liu Guifei was entitled, and was finally transferred to Beijing as an official. ”

This is almost straightforward, maybe there is a gap between Empress Dowager Wei and Mrs. Liu's grandmother Mrs. Wei, so she reuses Liu's yuan to match the eldest and concubine, which is intended to warn Mrs. Tai.

Liu Xiaoniang smiled slightly, for many reasons, it is still too early to draw conclusions, but after learning about these strange things, it is naturally more beneficial than touching the elephant without knowing anything, at least, so that she has a general direction.

So the little girl finally spoke: "Take me for a run, at this time, the spring is warm and windy, and it is worth the natural scenery of this field, isn't it a pity to care?" ”

One sentence made He Zhan's heart happy, and he tightened the reins: "You sit down." ”

When the horse's hooves were sick and running forward in the spring sun, and the green mountains and green fields rubbed shoulders and retreated, He Zhan suddenly heard an extremely subtle but sincere sentence: "Fourteen Lang, I am glad to be able to meet you." ”
