Yongyou 20 years, Ji Xia

Yangzhou Thorn Shi Shen Yong handed over a copy of the invitation, which said that he was nearly sixty years old, lost his wife in his early years, and did not continue the strings, alone, and missed his children in Chang'an very much, he was loyal to the country for 30 years, not trying to worship the prime minister, but only hoped that when he was old, he could be closer to the woman, so that he could have a care.

Sima Tao and Shen Yong are of the same age, especially not long ago when he reunited with Sima Yan in Chaolan Villa, father and son met, and suddenly felt that the joy of family was precious, so he was deeply touched by Shen Yong's words, and specially ordered Shen Guangfeng and Sima Xunian to enter the palace to discuss where Shen Yong went.

Sima Tao intended to transfer Shen Yong back to Chang'an and return to Menxia Province to take up his post, but both Shen Guangfeng and Sima Xu refused on the grounds that they were too old to take on the important tasks of the three provinces and six ministries. The emperor couldn't, so he asked the two for their opinions, but both of them thought that Yuzhou Thorn History was the best place for them. The seat of governance in Yuzhou is Yingchuan, Yingchuan is adjacent to Sili Prefecture, the official road is convenient, it is indeed convenient to get together with children, and the state affairs are not very heavy, and it will not work their body and mind.

After listening to the words of the two, Sima Tao said with a smile that he did not have Shen Yong's good fortune, and he still had to work for state affairs at the same age. Sima Xunian naturally added a lot of flattering words, and the emperor was very useful, and ordered Shen Yong to be transferred to Yuzhou Assassin History. Yuzhou Assassin Shi was already old, so he took this opportunity to transfer him back to Chang'an and sealed a loose official to give him a good day.

Sima Yang seized the opportunity and recommended Cao Kai, a scholar from the Sipin Wenzao Pavilion, to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, Qin Tianlin naturally didn't want to let go of the fat shortage of Yangzhou Assassin History, and wanted to recommend the doctor Feng Jiong, but because of Song Zhongming's ugly things in Chaolan Villa, he didn't dare to show off in the court in the short term, so he turned to Qin Guifei for help.

Dacheng set up "three provinces and one place" administrative institutions in the imperial city to serve the personal life of the Son of Heaven, namely "Secretary Province", "Palace Province", "Inner Service Province" and "Palace Officials' Office". There are 19 bureaus under the "three provinces and one place", which are in charge of various affairs of the inner court.

In addition, the Chang'an national capital guard, divided into the south and the north, the south of the ya, a total of 16 guards, for the main garrison army of the national capital, led by the emperor; The Tenth Army of the Northern Ya is the forbidden army of the imperial palace and directly obeys the emperor's orders.

Generally, the relatives of concubines are not allowed to enter the palace without the edict of the Holy Lord, but the direct relatives of the queen, the imperial concubine, and the concubine, after registering and searching in the Inner Chamberlain, can be exchanged for a token to be led by the Inner Chamberlain, but they must leave the palace when they are declared.

At that time, as soon as the early dynasty passed, Qin Tianlin brought Qin Shuyun and Qin Shuying, two brothers and sisters, into the palace to visit Qin Guifei.

"Guifei Niangniang, there is a vacancy in the history of Yangzhou Thorn, I guess you know, the saint has not yet decided on a candidate in the court, I don't know what your opinion is?" Qin Tianlin said as he observed Qin Guifei's face.

Qin Guifei didn't look at him, she just tasted the tea slowly, put down the teacup, and said, "The Holy Lord doesn't like to interfere in the harem, and the last time he was transferred back to Yun'er, it was still for the sake of Prince Ning's face, and you don't know this." ”

Qin Tianlin paused, couldn't guess what his sister was thinking at this time, and asked tentatively, "Didn't the Holy Lord find out something about the last time he went to the Lan Villa?" ”

It's okay not to mention this matter, but as soon as she mentioned this matter, Qin Guifei became angry, "Brother, I won't interfere with who you want to use, but Song Zhongming betrayed his master three times and twice, jumped between the former prince and Yang Hui, and didn't know what loyalty was at all, I didn't like it when I came to surrender to Cheng, and now I have made these ugly things, you still don't know what is wrong?!" ”

Qin Tianlin hurriedly got up and bowed his head and said yes, not daring to make a sound.

Concubine Qin calmed down a little before inviting him to sit down again, "The Holy Lord has not been to my palace recently, even if I intend to recommend it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance." ”

When Qin Tianlin heard this, he felt that it was very inappropriate, his sister had a very close relationship with the saint when she was young, and she had been favored by the saint for many years, and the concubines and concubines in the harem belonged to her with the most heirs, and now when she heard her sister's words, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Could it be that the saint is still pampering new talents?" ”

"What woman hasn't been seen in the Holy Majesty? A lowly woman who didn't know where to get it also got into the Holy Eye?! It's just that...... The saint didn't know why, but he went to Concubine Jing's palace diligently. ”

When Qin Shuyun heard this, he had something to say, "Guifei Niangniang, after you said this, I remembered that Liu Jing, the nephew of Concubine Jing Niangniang, seems to have been transferred from the Taishou of Changsha County to the Zhengwupin Dali Temple, just a month ago, I only heard about it when I was drinking with a few princes and grandsons in Tao Ranju a few days ago. ”

"Yun'er, you don't mess with those boys, I transferred you out of Chang'an before, just hoping that you can cut off these bad roots of eating, drinking and having fun! Now that the DPRK and China are not peaceful, you are still like this, how can the foundation of the Qin family be handed over to you? After Qin Tianlin finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

Qin Shuyun suddenly shrank and stopped talking.

"Are you sure Sima Xunian can't win it over?" Qin Guifei was drinking tea and suddenly remembered.

"I'm afraid it won't work, no matter how hard Ying'er tries, he doesn't seem to be moving at all."

"In this case, we are going to find a good husband for Ying'er, there are not many people available to you now, if you can marry the family, there will be more talents."

When Qin Shuyun heard this, he knew that the two elders wanted to use their sister as a bargaining chip to consolidate their power, so he said, "Niangniang, according to Yun'er, the family is also a saint to put it bluntly, but the status is slightly better, how can it be compared with the heavenly family." According to Yun'er's view, it is better to marry his sister Xu to Prince Ning, so close to each other, it is good for everyone. ”

When Qin Guifei heard this, she immediately felt that this was a good idea, expressed her approval, and turned her head to ask Qin Tianlin's opinion.

Qin Tianlin was not very happy, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is certainly the dragon and phoenix among people, but His Royal Highness has already married a concubine, Ying'er married in the past, don't you want to make a side room......

When Qin Guifei heard this, she was a little displeased, and retorted, "Brother, what about the side room, I'm not also from the side room, won't I also bring you and Yun'er glory and wealth?" Moreover, even if Sima Xunian likes her and is willing to marry her, is it not a side room? ”

Qin Tianlin was noncommittal, thinking that Sima Xunian was first of all the person Qin Shuying liked, and he was a good person, not a drinker, and he was a good son-in-law, and Shen Jiyue was destined to have nothing, and after Ying'er gave birth to an heir, who was the wife and who was the side room was still two words. And Sima Xiu, a child of the heavenly family, has been messing around in the women's pile since he was a child, and he has already had a group of wives and concubines. Maybe you'll have to die alone.

He was still thinking about how to shirk, but Qin Shuyun was still pouting, he was angry for a while, and it was not easy to attack, he glared at Qin Shuyun, and Qin Shuyun stopped a little.

"This matter is good, wait for me to ask Hugh'er's opinion, if Hugh'er is also interested, I will facilitate this matter as soon as possible." Qin Guifei saw that Qin Tianlin's interest was not high, so she continued, "Brother, you just want Feng Jiong to be the assassin of Yangzhou, right, I have written down this matter, and when the saint is in a good mood, I will recommend him, you can rest assured." ”

Qin Tianlin's mind was no longer on this matter at this time, and he only vaguely thanked him for a few words, and then said goodbye and went home.

As soon as he returned to Shang Shuling's mansion, Qin Tianlin reprimanded Qin Shuyun.

Qin Shuyun apologized on the surface, but he had already decided that Sima Xiu was the future prince, and he only thought about how to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and pay homage to the marquis, how could he still worry about Qin Tianlin and Qin Shuying's mood. When Sima Xunian was unmoved, he made up his mind to climb the big tree of Sima Xiu.

Sure enough, Sima Tao's candidate for Yangzhou Assassin has not yet been decided, and someone has come to match. First of all, Qin Guifei, when she asked him to say goodbye, she deliberately mentioned that this twenty-nine-year-old niece had reached the marriageable age, and the Qin family couldn't choose a good husband and wife, I was afraid that she fell in love with the blood of the Holy Heavenly Family, and it was difficult to open her mouth.

Sima Tao remembered that he had promised Qin Guifei to choose a good family affair for her niece, so he joked, "My adult sons are all married, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance with Miss Qin, shouldn't the concubine take a fancy to me, an old man, and want to marry my niece to me?" Hahaha......"

Qin Guifei sneered and replied, "Who does the Holy Lord want, just from our Qin family?" Isn't it only the women of our Qin family who are good in the world? ”

Sima Tao laughed and said, "Just kidding, the concubine doesn't have to care. Many of my nephews, who do you have a crush on, tell me that I will immediately give me a marriage and a rich dowry! ”

"Forget the nephews, the good son of the saint, the concubine has a crush on one."

Sima Tao was puzzled, according to Qin Tianlin's personality, he was afraid that he would not let his daughter do a side room, so he asked who it was.

"Your third prince, His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

After listening, Sima Tao suddenly realized that he wanted to kiss Qin Guifei when he came to him. After thinking for a while, he twisted his eyebrows again and said, "It's not impossible, but let's think about it later." ”

Qin Guifei saw that he was not in high spirits, so she retired with interest.

Soon, Sima Xiu came to see him again, and Suoyun had also been thinking about Qin Shuying for a long time, and asked his father to ask for a good wife for him.

Sima Tao has always been extremely thoughtful, always on guard against the fall of the monarch's power, especially hates the matter of forming a party, and pays more attention to preventing the dictatorship of his relatives, so he does not like the obvious act of forming a party like kissing and kissing.

Among the married princes, none of them are remarried to their mother's relatives, and the concubines of the eldest prince and the third prince are all ordinary eunuchs. He was very fond of the second prince, so he chose Hongnong Yang to marry, but Yang is a Confucian family, not a military general, and the combination with it complements each other, so he can rest assured that he will marry.

Qin Guifei has been by his side for decades, and has been indisputable with the world, and now that Sima Xiu has entered the court, she suddenly competes for fame and fortune, Sima Tao is reflecting, and he rashly edicted Sima Xiu back, I don't know if it's right or wrong......

Sima Yang entered the palace to report some political affairs, and after Sima Tao discussed with him, he gossiped about it, and talked about it, and said that Qin Guifei wanted to marry Qin Shuying to Sima Xiu as a side room.

Sima Yang was also very puzzled when he heard this, and said, "The Qin family has a noble status, the world is big, and there are many young talents who have not yet been married, why should they deign to be the side room of His Royal Highness Prince Ning?" Besides, I heard that the two had no affection for each other before, why did they suddenly fall in love with each other? This matter involves the stability of the court, and I ask the saint to think twice. ”

Sima Yang euphemistically pointed out that Prince Ning and the Qin family were suspected of forming a party, and Sima Tao didn't know, so he asked, "Qin Guifei asked me for a Heavenly Family bloodline, you can recommend a few, and I will choose one." ”
