216 The Present World (4)
Emperor Changsheng is the king, Shen Tingjun and Xu Zhijun are childhood playmates and companions, and they are also right-hand men and henchmen for many years, so they have naturally been reused.
Their current official positions are not low, and they are also well-known powerful ministers in the court.
But the official position is high, but the relationship between the two and Shen Tingjun is estranged.
If it is said that as early as the reign of Emperor Longqing, a few friends could still get together to drink, drink tea, and chat about state affairs and court affairs from time to time, then after Qin Sheng ascended the throne, the contacts between several people and even between several mansions became very rare.
This is not to say that there is a conflict between several people, and the relationship has become very bad - it is normal for state quarrels to occur. After all, the positions of several people are different, the interest groups they represent are different, and it is inevitable that there will be contradictions and disputes.
But they are estranged, not because the quarrel hurts the harmony or decency, but because, in order not to make the emperor jealous, they automatically and consciously maintain a relationship with each other.
They have a good relationship and are known to everyone. But if you have a good relationship and get close, what do you want to do?
Not to mention that the ministers of the DPRK and China have to think more, even Qin Sheng, after thinking about the coming years for a long time, he will not have some thoughts in his heart.
It was precisely because of this consideration that after Qin Sheng ascended the throne, several people became estranged.
Not only were the three of them reused and entrusted with authority, but even Wei Mingqian, the Duke of Cheng'en - yes, after the death of the first Duke of Chengen, Wei Mingqian inherited the title of the mansion and became the new Duke of Cheng'en.
When he got married to Shen Tingjun, he personally came to the door to say goodbye, drank a few glasses of wine with Shen Tingjun, and all past grudges disappeared. The two met with a smile and a grudge, and then the court saw each other, although the relationship was not as good as the first, but they could also talk peacefully and reminisce, and even sit together to drink tea and chat.
And Xu is to control Shen Tingjun, Xu is Wei Mingqian's own ability is also outstanding, after letting go of his children's love, he hit straight ahead, and did a few dazzling errands. In this way, he also entered the cabinet a few years ago, and he became a rival with Shen Tingjun.
This situation is naturally what Qin Sheng is willing to see, and whether the situation he is willing to see is deliberately done by the courtiers to show him, or whether he has contributed to the trouble and finally obtained it, it is not clear.
It is only said that although Qin Sheng, as the emperor, had to curb the dominance of the courtiers in order to stabilize the dynasty and the emperor's power was always high, Qin Sheng's friendship with Shen Tingjun and the others was not false, but real and very deep.
No, on the day of the old lady's birthday banquet, he quietly went out of the palace with his subordinates in a white dragon fish suit, and personally gave the old lady a birthday gift, not to mention, but also personally toasted the old lady with a glass of wine.
The old lady was sincerely frightened and grateful to Dade, and after Qin Sheng did these things, he was also worried that the people who came to celebrate his birthday would not be comfortable, so he left early.
Shen Tingjun, Xu Zhijun, Liang Haosheng, and Wei Mingqian personally sent him out. When he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Qin Sheng looked back at the four companions, but said with a smile: "Let's all go back, today is a good day for the old lady, and the old lady should be the priority." It's hard for me to get out of the palace, and I'll go around the streets later, so don't follow you. ”
Liang Haosheng was upright and answered: "What's better on the street, why don't you eat a table and leave?" ”
Qin Shenglang smiled: "Excuse me, I'm afraid you will have indigestion." ”
Without waiting for a few people to say anything, he waved his hand and left, "Go back, wait for it." When we're free, let's sit down and have a few drinks together. ”
As he spoke, he left the Hou Mansion and went to the street.
Qin Sheng walked away, and the big eunuch beside him whispered: "The old lady's birthday banquet is lively, and the servants saw that almost all the adults in the cabinet had arrived." There are also Lord Liang, Lord Xu, and Lord Wei, they ...... "The eunuch wants to say, don't look at these people, no one is close to anyone on weekdays, it seems that the relationship has been estranged year by year. But when something happened, they came running without saying a word. It can be seen that the hearts are still very close to each other, so ......
The eunuch looked up at the emperor. As a result, he saw Qin Sheng looking at him with his head down.
The emperor's gaze was obviously extremely calm, but the eunuch was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. And as soon as his knees were weak, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a "poof".
The eunuch didn't even dare to beg for mercy, but in just a moment, a cheaply dressed Imperial Forester took him into custody and took him away.
A series of actions can be described as fast and swift, without attracting the attention of the surrounding people at all.
After the eunuch was taken down, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army who accompanied him today walked to Qin Sheng's side, and couldn't help but plead guilty and said, "It's not good for the minister to escort ......"
Qin Sheng waved his hand and walked forward, "What does this have to do with you?" The eunuchs in the palace can't be commanded, and you just do your part. ”
The deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army should have given orders, and then stood half a step behind Qin Sheng, alert to the surrounding movements.
Besides, Qin Sheng, although his mood was disturbed, he was okay overall. After all, since he ascended to this supreme position, there have been many villains around him who are flattering, flattering and cunning.
They were either for their own interests, or they were bribed by others, and they whispered something in his ear, and they moved the emperor's heart in vain.
But the one who can be the emperor is not a person with a tough heart?
Xu is the last emperor of every dynasty, and it is inevitable that he will have all kinds of character defects, and he will not be deceived by others to do wrong things. But Qin Sheng thinks that even if he can't be the founder of the country, he can't be the master of Zhongxing.
He has a great cause in his heart, and he has a raging fire in his heart that will go down in history. His ambition was so strong that he had to maintain a vigorous energy and shrewd mind, and as a result, he knew more and more what to do and what not to do.
For example, today, what about the old lady's birthday and the Manchu ministers? What about Ziyuan's reunion of the four of them?
He ruled over Ziyuan, although he was worried that he would become bigger, but why didn't this be for the people in the DPRK and China?
An emperor who only has ambitions in his heart does not mind giving his courtiers rights, nor does he mind that his courtiers are a little careful. As long as they can be used by him and be faithful to him, then he can turn a blind eye to what they are doing as long as they are not out of line......
The old lady's birthday feast began in a lively and lively manner, and ended in a lively and lively manner.
At the birthday banquet, the second lady looked at several candidates, but the matter involved her most beloved daughter, and the second lady couldn't make up her mind for a while, and in the end she would give that Lang Jun good.
And it takes too much time and energy to go to the family to investigate. What she lacks most now is time, that is, energy.
The second lady looked for Sang Twisting the Moon, and Sang Twisting the Moon found the old lady again, and called the third lady by the way.
The mother discussed it, considering that there is not only Sister Xin in the house who wants to say goodbye, but even the family affairs of Rong'an and He'er should be put on the agenda, so why not hold another banquet and invite some girls and boys to the house?
I thought so in my heart, but considering the actual situation - He'er and Rong'an are only three or four years old, if the brothers say goodbye together, it is obvious that those ladies will like He'er more. Isn't this embarrassing for Rong An?
Therefore, when talking about the children's family affairs, Sang Xuanyue hurriedly said: "He'er is not in a hurry, he hasn't finished yet, and he has no fame." Besides, he is now dedicated to studying, so it is not too late for him to think about his family affairs in the evening for two years. Now what is urgent is the marriage of Sister Xin and Rong An, after all, the two children are not young. ”
The old lady is old and sophisticated, and she also thought that He'er's kid was a "heartthrob".
When it comes to this grandson, the old lady is proud and doesn't want it.
He'er inherited Da Lang's intelligence, no, even said, he is far smarter than his father, and he is even more talented in reading, which can be called a little understanding.
The old lady often said that this was because of his mother's bloodline. After all, as we all know, in addition to being a famous bookseller, every head of the Jinju Sang family is a real Jinshi.
There are dozens of Jinshi in the family, and there are not a few people, and then there is He'er's little uncle who sang all the way as soon as he participated in the imperial examination, and finally won which Tanhua - could have been named the champion, Qing'er is indeed the champion. Then who made that session no one with outstanding looks except for Qing'er. Which of the youngest is thirty years old, Qing'er is not only the youngest in the same department of a group of uncles and uncles, but also has a fresh and handsome appearance like a bamboo, so don't call him Tanhualang, this can't be said?
Xu really has a blood bonus, maybe He'er has been personally enlightened and raised by his father since he was a child, and his heart and understanding are better than ordinary children. So, this kid is really, really spiritual, and he is very, very good at reading.
He could have ended up a long time ago, but in the end there are some children with a child's heart - he knows that his father is the first six yuan and the first in this dynasty, so he wants to create a good story of the same six yuan and the first father and son.
He has this heart, Shen Tingjun naturally didn't stop him, and even encouraged him to go out to study, let him suppress the fire, and directly cut off all the big and small three yuan in the coming year.
The real reason is that Shen Tingjun is probably worried that his son is not mature enough to deal with the deceit of officialdom.
He'er is different from him, he has the experience of entering the palace to be the prince's companion, and whether it is the wind and rain in the palace or the court, he has seen it since he was a child, and he has been used to it since he was a child.
And the crane ...... In the end, it is the eldest son, even if he has high hopes for him, but in the end, he is worried that his son will experience the darkness of officialdom too early, and he will be hit by his heart.
Not to mention that He'er has a lot of talent in reading, but only that He'er is both civil and military, with outstanding appearance and flawless character, and he himself is the prince of Wu'an Houfu...... It is not an exaggeration to describe him with a sentence that Lang Yan is unique. It can be said that since He'er was less than fifteen years old, the matchmakers who came to come to kiss almost broke the threshold of Wu'an's Hou Mansion.
He'er took too much action and put his family affairs and Rong An's family affairs together, and Rong An's glory will naturally be covered by him. Therefore, the child's family affairs should be considered later.
But a few days later, the Hou Mansion held another lotus banquet, and when he posted to the various mansions, it was clearly mentioned that all wives could bring their children and daughters. Isn't that what that means?
Everyone inquired again, they were choosing a husband and daughter-in-law for the children in the second and third rooms, and they were immediately tempted.
Although Rong'an is not as good as He'er, it is not bad.
He was very self-motivated at a young age. The most important thing is that his family has a simple population. If they marry the eldest daughter who has been carefully raised, they may be reluctant, but the second daughter or the second daughter can...... It's just that when I thought of Rong An's biological mother again, I couldn't help but have some concerns.
There are not a few wives who have concerns, and when they talk about it with the man in charge, they are also a little hesitant, not knowing whether they should bring their daughter over.
Those men thought about it more realistically, and said, "It's just a woman who has long been divorced, why do you care about her so much?" Rong An's current mother is the eldest daughter of Chang'an Bo, you just need to know about it. As for the Zhou family, no matter what crime he committed, since the emperor did not snub the Hou Mansion and alienate Shen Tinglan because of this, it means that his crime will not harm his family. Ignore the Zhou family, if you look at this family business, is it promising? ”
Many people thought about it like this lord, and because of this, there were many more people who came to the lotus feast that day than expected.
This became a blind date banquet, of course, the banquet went smoothly, and many small couples were formed.
Sister Xin'er's family affairs were set at this banquet, and Rong'an's was the same. One of the two chose a martial arts general from the Royal Forest Army, and the other chose a lady from a bachelor's family in the Hanlin Academy.
In short, the candidates are probably not what the elders expected.
And because of the elders checking above, this family affair was also settled smoothly.
When these two older leftover men and women solve the marriage problem, the Hou Mansion has not married, and only the three who are born in Sang Twist Yuesheng are left.
Rong Qi and Rong Hui are still too young to think about it so much for the time being. But the crane is about to be crowned.
When He'er went out on a long trip again, Sang twisted the moon and told him. First, he told his son to pay attention to his personal safety, and if he was injured, he should write back to them in time to inform them; Second, it is to tell the crane that he must be clean and self-conscious, and the gentleman must be polite and polite......
Don't say the first point, just the second point, He'er knows that her mother is "inspired" by the third uncle, and she is worried that he is also looking for someone outside.
The crane chuckled and shouted "Mother".
His appearance is already handsome, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and Sang Twisting the Moon like ten out of ten. If he has a stiff face, he seems to be a young version of Shen Tingjun, and the whole Langyi is noble to the extreme. But if he laughs, his moist eyes contain a little starlight, and there seems to be a romantic galaxy in his eyes, which really makes people hate to get drunk for a long time.
He'er said in a clear voice: "Mother, my son has grown up and is measured in his work." What you are worried about will never happen, and your son will not do such nonsensical things. The son's marriage will have to worry more about his mother after that. When your son has a reputation, when it's time to say goodbye, you can take care of this matter, do you think it's okay? ”
comforted his mother, said goodbye to his grandmother and father, and told his two younger siblings to be more peaceful and obedient at home.
After doing these things, Crane solemnly glanced at his relatives at home. With reluctance, but also with the emperor's commission and mission, he quietly went out of Beijing.
The imperial examination has not yet begun, but his journey to the sea has officially begun!
Write as much as you want today, post as much as you want. Yes, that's how capricious it is today. I was going to go to my second aunt's house to catch the market today, but I was worried about taking the car. My belly is too big now, and I look very stupid, and I am guilty of riding in the car. And I feel that the blood tonic medicine I drank some time ago should not have replenished the blood, and I will still be dizzy in the morning, and I always want to lie down in bed with fatigue. I bought two more boxes of blood tonic medicine to drink, hoping to replenish the blood. If you don't feel comfortable on your body, and even more uncomfortable in the car, then stay at home and update. Bless you for having a smooth day of thinking, and being able to do more.
