Chapter 422: New "Colleague"

The silk tent is draped, the reed is rolled up, the space in the west of the side hall is not spacious, it shows that the jade ice urn under the peony screen seems to be particularly huge, the queen mother is afraid of heat, since the beginning of summer, she will move the daily office to this place to avoid the sun, at this time she leans on the head of the dragon, and her eyes seem to fall on the round opening of the ice urn, so that it seems to be cooler.

The compartment was quiet, the banana fan fell silently, only driving the silk tent to rise and fall quietly, only the voice of the queen mother's oral edict was light and clear.

Wei Yan worked hard to write on the side, naturally not simply recording the Queen Mother's words.

The edict was issued, it is necessary to use the style of the emperor, not to say the queen mother, that is, many emperors actually do not have the literary talent of the style of the edict, so it is necessary to write according to the edict of a class of officials in the book and the people, and it can be promulgated after several revisions.

When the eleventh mother quietly entered the account, she had already seen Wei Yan's book, and recited it softly, and the queen mother bowed her head slightly, signaling that Wei Yan could hand over the draft edict to Dou Fu'an, and this henchman would then hand it over to the officials of Zhongshu Province for revision.

It was only at this time that the Queen Mother left an opinion for Eleven Niang to return, stretched out her hand and beckoned, allowing her to sit closer.

"Look at your solemn face, but what is the embarrassment of Siniang?"

Because of Wang Qilang, Liu Zhen is only a little closer to the cousin of Eleven Niang, the Queen Mother has always been clear about this, when Wang Shiniang was in distress, didn't Liu Zhen sue Eleven Niang to enter the palace to investigate? So see you today, it's not strange, if Liu Zhen doesn't move, things will seem a little weird.

It turned out that the Queen Mother was surprised when she first heard that Liu Zhen was invited, but in fact she was just pretending.

On the contrary, Eleven Niang was really shocked at first, but after seeing Liu Zhen, she felt "so it is".

At this time, I heard her respond like this-

"The fourth sister is worried about the third brother's business...... The father had just been transferred to Jiangnan Province, and the third brother begged to be transferred to the army for some reason, and the fourth sister persuaded hard, but the third brother still insisted, seeing that it was irretrievable, and the fourth sister was helpless, so she took the liberty to ask for a meeting, which was to let me try my best to see if I could persuade the third brother to change his mind. ”

The garrison army has always been guarded by the border army, the more the merrier, just because the garrison army is not as good as the forbidden army, not to mention the ordinary hardships, and more likely to be ordered to go to the army, once on the battlefield, life and death can not be guaranteed, and the danger is even worse, so although the garrison army will not recklessly requisition those who do not know the details, but if the children of a family like Liu Yan are brave, if they voluntarily transfer to the garrison, the imperial court will of course have an encouraging attitude, not to mention that Liu Yan is going to transfer the conscription army this time, and directly ask for orders to go to the battlefield.

There are also two uncles, Liu Xinyi and Liu Junyi, who supported him and asked for a transfer, which made this matter even more stable.

To say that it was so easy for Liu Yan to transfer to the army, why has it been delayed so far?

The difficulty is that he is a disciple of Jingzhao Liu, and he is also the eldest grandson of the heir of the ancestor.

The battlefield is more risky, and since the Great Zhou Dynasty from Yingzong, there are signs of emphasizing literature over military force, even if he has achieved military exploits, it is not as good as the honor of civil officials, and the children of the family are not enthusiastic about joining the army, not to mention how important the heir and grandson are to the prominent family, how can the parents allow him to take risks willfully.

If Liu Yuyi ignores the only son's enlistment, the Queen Mother will be suspicious.

But at this time, Liu Yuyi had been transferred to Jiangnan Whip Commander, and Mrs. Tai took this opportunity to use Liu Junyi, the division commander, to encourage the enthusiastic Liu Yan to go to the battlefield, and it was the right time to put him in danger.

Not to mention that because of the recent use of reserves of money and grain to continue to support the new Turkic conquest of the barbarians, the political hall and the Zongzheng Hall quarreled because of differences of opinion, the queen mother generously concluded the speech, for the barbarians repeatedly plundered the city, resulting in the people are not happy, the family is ruined, and even the barbarians are exiled and heartbroken, insisting that it is to calm the border chaos and shelter the people, it is necessary to support the new Turks who have shown their sincere allegiance to unify the barbarians, the benevolence of the will, the far-sightedness, and under the leadership of Xu Xiuneng, the chief secretary of Zhongshu Province, many scholars praised them with poetry, The people who don't know anything about military politics but are full of enthusiasm all praise the queen mother's mind, and many strong men are encouraged by public opinion to voluntarily join the army and go to the battlefield.

Liu Yan's enlistment will inevitably alarm Wei Yuanping, not to mention Dou Fu'an, whose duty is to monitor hundreds of officials, the news has already reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and it is also concluded that it is Mrs. Tai's intention to "draw salary from the bottom of the kettle", and the Queen Mother even confessed to Wei Yuanping to remind Liu Yan not to be tricked, but Liu Yan "has been deeply poisoned" and was not moved at all, no wonder Liu Zhen, who is the eldest sister, rushed to the hospital and actually pinned her hopes on the cousin of Eleven Niang.

"Since the fourth sister has returned in vain, let alone me?" Eleven Niang smiled bitterly: "But since the fourth sister does not hesitate to ask for help, I also hope that the Queen Mother will allow her to take a day off." ”

In fact, to prevent Liu Yan from going to the frontier, there is another way to order the Ministry of Health not to ask for transfer, the Queen Mother guessed that Liu Zhen may have this intention to see this time, but it is impossible for Eleven Niang to make such a reluctant request, now the Queen Mother clearly advocates the conquest of the barbarians, and this proposition is very popular with the people, since the imperial court encourages the army to go on the expedition, if there is any unfavorable turmoil for Liu Yan alone, it is not an extraneous branch? The Queen Mother Ren wants to win over Eleven Niang, and it is impossible to harm the overall situation for this.

Therefore, at this time, Eleven Niang only asked for leave, but the Queen Mother felt very comforted, and once again secretly praised the girl for knowing how to advance and retreat.

"One day is too short, so I'll give you a ten-day vacation." The Queen Mother was so generous, which once again made Eleven Niangming feel heartfelt.

"Fourteen Lang has been away from Beijing for more than two months, and Yingyang is lonely alone, so you can accompany her for the past ten days, which can be regarded as comforting." The Queen Mother said again: "San Lang is hot-blooded and courageous, if it is a good man in my big Zhou, only Siniang is his eldest sister in the end, and it is normal for people to be worried...... In this way, Yi Yi might as well tell Si Niang, just say that I will confess, if San Lang goes to the battlefield, although it is inevitable to fight with the barbarians, the army will also take care of it, if you can win the battle merits, the court will definitely reward you, so Si Niang can also feel at ease. ”

Since the Queen Mother promised to "include Liu Yan in her wings", the risk will naturally be reduced a lot, such a big favor, Eleven Niang will naturally not refuse, after thanking her, she sighed: "Sister will be tired of working hard for ten days." ”

The words just fell, but there were palace people into the ceremony, the Tao is that Xu Zhushu has been waiting outside the palace, the queen mother said "allow to see", but for the first time said two more words to the eleventh mother: "I want to give Xu Lang the position of the housekeeper, and in the future, there will be another person to draft the edict nearby, rest assured, I can't be tired." ”

Eleven Niang's heart moved, but of course she didn't show any emotion.

In fact, the duties of the living house itself are similar to the living room, and there is no responsibility to draft the edict, but because the long companion of the royal drive, even trusted, so the edict is also a common thing, and even often by the Son of Heaven to consult government affairs, and discuss national affairs, now He Er is young, is the queen mother in the court to listen to the system, so the residence of the house and the living room is not set up, this is not because the queen mother as a woman must avoid suspicion, completely because the queen mother is unwilling to leave others behind in every word and deed, in the final analysis, the queen mother does not have enough trust to grant this position.

He Zhan has worked hard for many years, and Lu Li has also made contributions to the new emperor's accession to the throne, but it is not enough for the Queen Mother to entrust such a close post.

I don't want Xu Xiuneng to stand out, he is just because of the strong recommendation of the eldest princess of Jin'an, and he is not even close to the current chief Wei Yuanping, but he can win such trust, it can be seen that his mind is extraordinary, and it is no wonder that he has been able to act repeatedly in the past two or three years.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Wei is not wary of He Zhan and Lu Li, the two rising stars, but He Zhan and Wei Yuanping are too close, and the Queen Mother does not want him to be involved in more secrets for the time being, as for Lu Li, the Queen Mother knows that although he is talented and steady, he is quite a scholar, and some dark things are inconvenient for Lu Li to know.

Only Xu Xiuneng is sleek and treacherous, acting in an unorthodox manner, and has no family background to rely on, but he is very ambitious, and he is not willing to live under others for a long time, but he is quite favored by the Queen Mother.

might as well give him a chance to rise to the top, and whether he is useful or not will have to be verified.

Since the advent of the dynasty, the Queen Mother has been trapped by a lack of talents, and the old party members are no longer enough to appoint, and it is necessary to develop a group of truly talented people to meet various needs.

At this time, he mentioned Eleven Niang again: "In the future, Yiyi and Xiuneng should cooperate well, and you can be regarded as my right-hand man." ”

Eleven Niang heard another meaning from this sentence, and couldn't help but show her doubts: "Sister Na ...... you"

"Ying'er is old, and the marriage can't be delayed any longer." The Queen Mother only said this, and then smiled at Eleven Niang: "Say goodbye to Tong'an first, and you will leave the palace today, remember to comfort Siniang, it's just ...... It's best not to let your grandmother know about persuading Saburo. ”

It is almost clear that behind this incident, it is Mrs. Wei's "bad intentions".

Eleven Niang blushed slightly, as if she was ashamed: "Thank you Queen Mother for mentioning it." ”

When leaving the Penglai Palace, Eleven Niang's face was solemn.

I hope she thinks too much, the Queen Mother just casually mentioned Wei Mian that day, not really trying to be a matchmaker to match Wei Mian and Shao Guang......

After all, if everything goes well, Shishilang has already dealt with the public case in Lingnan at this time, and is ready to take Shao Guang back to Beijing.
