Chapter 388: Ma's Glory
In the palace!
"Father!"
"Father!"
A childish voice sounded beside Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu leaned down and hugged his three children, with a happy face.
Thinking that he had no worries back then, and even heard that he was poisoned by cotton, and there might be no offspring, today's happiness is simply unimaginable.
In particular, the birth of the prince Zhao Mao ended one of Zhao Xu's heart problems and made Zhao Xu's throne more stable.
After all, an emperor without an heir will not let his ministers be fully loyal, after all, after the death of the emperor, all the allegiance of the courtiers will come to naught, and there is even a risk of standing in line again to be liquidated.
It can be said that Zhao Xu was able to successfully seize power from the Empress Dowager Gao, although he had the advantage of laying out in advance, and the fact that he already had a future, so that a group of courtiers stood on his side.
"Official, I heard that everyone Li has given birth in the Women's and Children's Hospital!" Empress Meng, dressed in full costume, asked.
She has also been a mother, so she naturally knows the pain of a woman's childbirth, and she knows that Li Qingzhao is not suitable for pregnancy, and she also made a disturbance back then.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I have already asked Fan Zheng to accompany Fan Zheng directly to the hospital without entering the palace." ”
Hu Jieyu on the side said jealously: "The official family treats Fan Taicheng too favorably. ”
Empress Meng scolded: "That's what Fan Taicheng deserves, not to mention how much credit Fan Taicheng has made for the imperial court, just say that if he hadn't found out about the cotton poison case back then, I am afraid you and I would not have been able to conceive." The official family will also regret it for life. ”
Queen Meng looked at Princess Fuqing on the side, and couldn't help but look spoiled.
Zhao Xu glanced at Queen Meng with satisfaction, although Queen Meng was slightly inferior in appearance, but she had the momentum of the world, and although Hu Jieyu and Liu Jieyu were beautiful and beautiful, they could only entertain people with color, and if they were unpleasant, they were big-chested and brainless.
It's a pity that he just ascended the throne and was attracted by Liu Jieyu's beauty, thinking that it was love, which eventually led to the disaster of the harem.
Now that he has been on the throne for many years, he is accustomed to seeing people's hearts, and he has discovered the advantages of Queen Meng more and more, and the husband and wife have begun to play the piano and sing harmoniously.
Hu Jieyu was reprimanded by Queen Meng, and was suddenly silent, Liu Jieyu and Queen Meng competed for favor, and now she has been abolished, she is not favored in the hearts of the official family, so she naturally does not dare to disobey Queen Meng.
"Qiqi official's family, good news from the hospital, Li's mother and son are safe."
Suddenly, the eunuch Yang Jian hurriedly came to report.
"Good!"
Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.
He had experienced the pain of having no heirs back then, and naturally understood the feelings of Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao who had not been pregnant for two years, and now that Fan Zheng has a future, he naturally empathizes with him.
"The Fan family is an important minister of the country, and the Fan family father and son have contributed a lot to the pacification of the Yellow River flood. When the queen and Li know each other, they can be rewarded to show royal etiquette. Zhao Xu instructed Empress Meng.
"Obey the orders of the officials!" Empress Meng bowed and said.
The reason why the Yizhuang presided over by Li Qingzhao was able to run rampant in the Great Song Dynasty was that the biggest backer behind it was Empress Meng, Li Qingzhao and Empress Meng had long known each other, and it was most appropriate for Empress Meng to come forward to reward Li Qingzhao.
"Li is a model woman in the world, and she is a mother at the beginning of today, and she will be rewarded with a pair of jade Ruyi, a number of silk, a thousand taels of gold, and a lady with six products."
In the Women's and Children's Hospital, before Li Qingzhao was discharged, Queen Meng's reward had already arrived.
"Thank you............." Li Qingzhao was greatly moved and wanted to get up and thank you.
The palace maid of Longyou Palace, who came to deliver the decree, immediately stopped and said: "The queen mother has specially ordered, the Li family has just given birth, and their bodies are weak, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Empress Meng's courtesy to Li Qingzhao can be said to be unprecedented, and even Li Qingzhao's physical weakness is taken into account, which can be said to be considerate.
"Thank you for the queen's reward, and thank you for the queen's grace." Fan Zheng nodded and said.
"Fan Taicheng is polite!" The palace maid of Longyou Palace immediately replied.
The whole of Longyou Palace is very grateful to Fan Zheng, if it weren't for the evil doctor Fan Zheng to turn the tide, not only Queen Meng couldn't keep the throne, but even the female eunuchs of Longyou Palace couldn't escape.
When everyone in Longyou Palace left, Ma Shi suddenly looked at Li Qingzhao's edict with joy, she was born as a concubine, even if her husband was already a minister, and she still failed to obtain the title of Mrs. Edict.
And now that Li Qingzhao has easily won the title of Mrs. Command, how can this not make her sigh in her heart.
Fan Zheng saw the loss of his mother Ma, and comforted him at the moment: "Mother don't be disappointed, wait for the child to go to the official house in the future to help the mother ask for the title of Mrs. Command." ”
"By no means, I am a concubine, how can I get the title of Mrs. Command." Ma Shi suddenly panicked.
She has adhered to the concubine etiquette all her life, even if the position of housewife is vacant in Fan's mansion, Fan Zheng is Fan Chunli's only son, and she still has not touched the position of wife.
As for the title of Mrs. Fate, she has always thought about it in her heart and felt that it was impossible, let alone put it forward.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh, in this era, etiquette is strict, and Ma's concubine status is indeed impossible to be named Mrs. Fate.
"Mother rest assured, although the mother is a concubine, but in fact she is no different from the housewife of the Fan Mansion, why don't you let the child come forward and let the father make the mother his wife!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.
"That's right! Fan Fuzhong's mother is a well-deserved mother. Li Qingzhao also echoed.
"It's not appropriate! It does not conform to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Ma Shi suddenly said with some trepidation, she knew that the concubine's status was low, and she couldn't touch his wife's position at all, and the law of the Great Song Dynasty did not support the concubine's wife at all.
Fan Zheng also frowned, and after thinking about it, he suddenly thought of an allusion.
In later generations, Liang Hongyu, a famous anti-gold general, used to be a concubine, although she was born in a family of military generals, because she was rescued by Han Shizhong, she was willing to make a promise, but at that time Han Shizhong was already a married woman, Liang Hongyu could only be a concubine.
After the death of Han Shizhong's wife, Liang Hongyu made great achievements and was finally named his wife by the imperial court.
When Fan Zheng put forward his method, Ma couldn't help but be stunned, and said with gloomy eyes: "I am a woman and a child, how can I have the opportunity to contribute to the country." ”
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "A mother is more expensive than a child, and the mother's greatest contribution to the Great Song Dynasty is to give birth to a child." ”
Looking at Fan Zheng's stinky appearance, Ma couldn't help but sneer at him, but then couldn't help but burst into tears, if she had the opportunity to become a wife, how could she be unhappy.
At that moment, Fan Zheng personally wrote a recital to the official family, taking his mother as an example, describing the miserable life of the concubine in detail, and finally asking the concubine to be given a chance to be his wife.
When Fan Zheng's recital was handed to the court, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.
"Qi Qi official, this case must not be opened! Spoiling concubines and killing wives is a taboo in all dynasties, even if it is the prime minister of the dynasty. Cai Jing immediately began to attack Fan Chunli as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Yang Wei was very dissatisfied and said: "Lord Cai's words are wrong, this performance was played by Fan Taicheng, but it is not Fan Xianggong's meaning, and Fan Xianggong has not made Ma his wife a wife after the death of Fan Xianggong's wife Wang for many years, so it can be seen that there is no intention of spoiling his wife and killing concubines." ”
Although Yang Wei does not agree with spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, Fan Chunli is now the leader of the old party, so naturally he can't let the new party attack him.
Su Song nodded and said, "Yes!" The Fan family is not Ma's dominance, and the Wang family has been dead for many years, and the Ma family has already become the actual wife, but it is just one less reputation! ”
Zhang Dian frowned and said: "Although the Ma family is already the de facto wife, it is still not possible to make this case, if the concubine has the opportunity to raise the wife's room, there will be countless cases of spoiling the concubine and harming the wife." ”
As soon as Zhang Dian said this, it immediately aroused the approval of many officials, and most of the favored concubines were bewitching and beautiful, and they were also favored, which was both harmful to his wife's motive and his wife's ability.
Zhao Xu frowned, Liu Jieyu murdered Queen Meng back then, and she was not a model of spoiling concubines and killing wives.
Su Song frowned and said: "Although what Zhang Xianggong said may happen, but we can't give up eating because of choking, many concubines have miserable lives, and even the cases of wives and concubines are countless, how can we turn a blind eye." ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "So Fan Taicheng played and asked the court to order: If the wife is here, and the wife is a concubine, the rod is ninety and deserved." ”
The ministers nodded slightly, so that the interests of the wife could be fully guaranteed.
Zhao Xu continued: "And if the wife is not there, if the position of the wife is vacant, I am afraid it is not conducive to the stability of the family, Fan Taicheng proposed, if it is tentatively set for three years, after three years, if it is confirmed that his concubine is of good character and has a good family, he can be supported as a wife, of course, if his children or the people of his mother's family are national merits, he can be a wife in advance." ”
After Zhao Xu finished saying Fan Zheng's recital, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be silent.
As everyone knows, Fan Zheng's method is tailor-made for Ma's, when Wang's had nothing, Ma's gave birth to Fan Zheng for Fan Chunli, and Wang's death has been more than ten years, far more than three years.
Not to mention that Fan Zheng repeatedly came out with evil recipes and made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, not long ago, he first offered a flood discharge prescription, and later pacified the plague, used the evil recipe to solve the food shortage crisis, and even donated the positive prescription to directly block the Yellow River embankment during the wet season.
Such a great achievement, not to mention asking for a wife for his mother, is that ordinary people ascend to the sky in one step, and it is natural for them to be promoted to marquis.
"The minister thinks this method is feasible! It can not only conform to the people's feelings, but also inspire their children to make contributions to the imperial court. Su Song was the first to agree.
A group of medical parties have chimed in.
The old and new parties glanced at each other and remained silent in unison, without him, just because Fan Zheng's contribution was too great, and he controlled key departments such as the Royal Bank and the Ordnance Superintendent, and even the old and new parties had to look at his face.
Not to mention that Fan Zheng still has a godly evil formula, who can guarantee that one day they will not ask for Fan Zheng's face, if they oppose Fan Zheng's proposal at this moment, I am afraid that Fan Zheng will be embarrassed in the future.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu nodded immediately and said: "Since this is the case, then it is allowed to play Fan Taicheng's recital, pass on the decree, help the Feng Ma family to be loyal and gentle, abide by etiquette, run the family in a good way, and teach the children in a good way. ”
Baiguan couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhao Xu not only raised the Ma family directly from the concubine to the status of the wife's room, but also named him the fifth rank of the command, obviously he had already prepared for Fan Zheng's folding.
Fortunately, they did not object, otherwise they would not only have hated the evil doctor Fan Zheng, but also would have been bored with themselves.
Fan's mansion is lit up with lights, and the inside and outside are completely new.
Fan was in the women's and children's hospital for three days, and then took Li Qingzhao's mother and son back to Fan's house for confinement.
The neighbors on the left and right already knew that the Fan family had a queen, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng was happy to add a noble son, and people close to him came forward to congratulate him.
The entire Fan Mansion ushered in the send-off, so it was not lively.
"The Divine Decree has arrived."
Suddenly, Yang Jian's sharp voice came, shaking the entire Fan Mansion again.
"Didn't the queen mother already reward the young lady? Why is the official's decree coming again? Lian'er poked her head out when she heard the news, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Then there is no need to ask, this time the young master has made great contributions to the flood of the Yellow River, and now when the young master has it, he will naturally be rewarded more." A Fan Mansion said proudly.
"I heard that the most trusted person of the official family is the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and when I saw it today, the rumors were true!" Although there are also high-ranking officials and nobles around Fan's mansion, they are also envious of Fan Zheng's favor.
"Fan Zheng took the order." Fan Zheng stepped forward and said solemnly.
However, Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Mrs. Fan misunderstood, the will of the official family is not for you, but for Mrs. Fan!" ”
"Mrs. Fan?"
Fan Zheng frowned and said: "I am in confinement, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the decree in person." ”
Yang Jian laughed and said, "The Mrs. Fan we are talking about is not Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Fan!" ”
"Old Madam Fan?"
Ma couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that he would be able to receive the holy decree one day.
"The old body takes the order!" Ma Shi hurriedly stood up in fear.
"Ma Shi, the mother of the imperial physician Cheng Fan Zheng, is obedient and diligent and ambitious,............ Mrs. is sick, has no strong children, serves alone, worries about the color, cries, cries and mourns, and hangs the person Min Yan. ”
As Yang Jian read out Fan Muma's life, Ma suddenly burst into tears, everything she did was now affirmed by the official decree, and her life was enough.
"The public checks his loyalty, which is a family matter, inside and outside, and is reckless. ............, now the Ma family is authorized to take the concubine as his wife, and he is named the wife of the five products. ”
As Yang Jian's voice fell, the entire Fan Mansion was shocked.
No one thought that the official family would personally give a holy decree and personally correct his name, not only making him from the position of a concubine to a wife, but also conferring the title of Mrs. Wupin.
"Congratulations, old lady!"
Yang Jian closed the holy decree and arched his hand.
"Mother don't hurry up and thank you!" Fan Zheng reminded in a low voice.
Ma Shi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the official." ”
After Yang Jian left, Ma was still like in a dream, becoming Fan Chunli's wife and what she longed for a lifetime, she originally thought that it would be impossible to do it in her lifetime, but now not only did it solve it, but she was personally promoted by the official family as a wife, but she got the honor of Mrs. Wupin.
And the hero of all this is her own good son, the good son she gave birth to,
Taiyi Cheng Fan Zheng. (End of chapter)
