Married to an old emperor v. 58
No matter what they do, they will only serve him, which is much better than those ministers who have their own thoughts and shout loyalty and patriotism.
He nodded at him with satisfaction: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself, although you have strayed into other ways, but no matter what position you are in, you can stick to your heart and worry about the king, this is the true literati style and the righteousness of loyalty to the king." ”
Qin Xingchao was flattered, and as a minister, he could be praised by the king with a sentence of "literati style", what an honor!
Hurriedly knocked Xie Longen: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your appreciation!" ”
Emperor Chongwen smiled and asked him to get up, and then took his paperwork and looked at it, and said unhurriedly: "Your knowledge is good, I really lost you before, from now on, I will let you enter the Wenhua Pavilion to repair books, and look at your behavior, not the flow of tongues, but actually a cadre, it is not suitable for the appointment of officials, why don't you go to the six departments to find a real job, do you have any ideas?" ”
Qin Xingchao suddenly became excited.
When he became a civil official, he could only be regarded as a change of post, and only with the qualification of repairing books in the Wenhua Pavilion could he be regarded as truly entering the path of a literati.
He was extremely surprised to thank the Holy Grace and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been stumbling for many years, and they are really not long, but they have some experience in the current account books. ”
"Hahaha!" Emperor Chongwen couldn't help but laugh.
The Hou Guan's Office is mainly used to spy on the ministers and thoroughly investigate the corruption and bribery of officials.
It's just that the direction of understanding, which may be the same as the household, are two completely opposite directions.
If you think about it carefully, the Hou Guanjian who let the Hou Guanya come out enter the household department, and his occupation is indeed quite compatible.
It's just that I don't know how the people in the household department feel, hahaha.
Emperor Chongwen was laughed at by this unprecedented initiative, and immediately granted Qin Xingchao's request.
He also looked at Qin Xingchao and said approvingly: "Your mother is a widow and raised you alone, and it is not easy for you to be so knowledgeable, so I gave her a decree as a reward." ”
"I think she had some fate with Concubine Chen when she was outside the palace, and now Concubine Chen is lonely in the palace, and if she has time, she can also talk to her."
Qin Xingchao didn't expect that even his mother would be rewarded, and he was immediately grateful and grateful.
When he looked up, he begged Emperor Chongwen again: "Thank Your Majesty for your compassion for Weichen's family, and Weichen will thank Your Majesty for his mother!" It's just that Weichen still has a wish, I don't know if to say it? ”
Emperor Chongwen waved his hand: "The words are all here, if there is anything else that should not be said, let's say it." ”
Qin Xingchao immediately thanked him again and again, and looked up at Emperor Chongwen: "Weichen also has a young sister, and now she is at the age of marriage, I wonder if I can ask Your Majesty or Niangniang to give my sister a marriage?" ”
Emperor Chongwen looked at him curiously: "Oh, this is a happy event, I don't know who Ling Mei wants to marry?" ”
Qin Xingchao's old-fashioned face showed a rare smile: "Your Majesty also knows this person, it is Yan Xiaofei, the commander of the guards by Your Majesty's side now, when he was in the Hou Guanya, he was a student brought up by Wei Chen, Wei Chen trusted his character very much, and he had long wanted to marry his sister to him." ”
"This time, I brought my sister to Beijing to complete the marriage."
"Your Majesty's sister has been delayed for some years because of Weichen, and she is in a hurry to get married, and now she has been favored by the Holy Grace, so Weichen has the courage to ask you for a favor again!"
Emperor Chongwen laughed: "What kind of rare thing is this, you have been by my side for so many years, and I should take care of your family." ”
Then he asked Deren to summon Yan Xiaofei in, and looked at them with a smile: "Since you and Qin Aiqing's sister have long been in love with concubines, and the widow is just the beauty of adults, call Concubine Shangchen Niangniang, give you a marriage together, and by the way, give the bride a decree, and then raise your official title to a higher level." ”
Yan Xiaofei was really promoted to get rich and marry a wife, and he couldn't help himself with joy, and thanked the emperor for his great kindness again and again.
Emperor Chongwen laughed, and these things were all settled.
After the holy decree came to the Qin family's courtyard, Qin's mother and Qin Yanlan's eyes were confused.
At the beginning, the neighbors thought that the two hillbillies of the Qin family, the mother and daughter, had never seen the world, and they saw jokes openly and secretly.
Now they have changed from the past, and they are warmly congratulated.
When the night was quiet and the people dispersed, Qin Xingchao closed the doors and windows, left his mother and sister alone, and looked at his sister: "I will marry you to Yan Xiaofei, do you have any ideas?" ”
Qin Yanlan looked at him blankly, although it was said that a woman's marriage was a major event in her life, but she couldn't think of any ideas now.
I can only say: "Brother, I don't have any ideas, anyway, my father is gone, I just listen to you." ”
Qin Xingchao shook his head: "You can't have no ideas now, do you know why I married you to Yan Xiaofei?" ”
Qin Yanlan: ......
"Brother, weren't you going to marry me to him in the first place?"
Qin Xingchao shook his head again: "It's different, I married you to him in the past, because we are two families, we are the right family, he is my subordinate, I know him well, and I can suppress him, no matter if he changes his mind in the future, I will not dare to bully you." ”
"It's different now, your brother and I are about to go to the household department to serve, that is, the real power official, you can not only marry into a higher lintel now, but even the prince and grandson of King Guang, who have been in the limelight recently, can marry, and I still let you marry Yan Xiaofei, do you know why?"
Qin Yanlan: ......
"Because we can't be treacherous?"
Qin Xingchao: ......
"That's certainly a reason...... People who do not believe in their beliefs do not stand, and those who contradict their words and deeds will lose the hearts of others, and although the calamity will not be obvious, it will be the most important thing. ”
"The most important thing is that I used to be a member of the Hou Guan, do you know what the people call us people?"
Qin Mu, Qin Yanlan: ......
Of course, they know what "lackeys", "eagle dogs", "living Hades" and the like, anyway, there are no good words.
But looking at his appearance, Qin's mother said distressedly: "Don't worry, we all know that you are not that kind of person, you don't look like an eagle dog at all, don't listen to them." ”
Qin Xingchao: ......
I didn't know what to say for a while, but I still tried my best to say: "Mother, what they said is right, the son is the emperor's eagle dog, and the meaning of existence is to bite for the master." ”
"People like us, when the owner is there, will be very beautiful, but when the owner is changed, the new owner will not trust us, he will choose a new dog for himself, and he will bite for himself."
"And on that day, a dog that knows too many secrets and bites too many people, for the new owner, the best way to deal with it is to die silently."
"Nobody cares about a dog in the shadows, so it's an easy thing to do."
Qin Mu and Qin Yanlan's faces changed drastically at the same time, and Qin Xingchao stopped them: "Don't worry, I have already walked a different path. ”
"Now I am a civil official, standing on the table, unable to die silently, even if someone wants to deal with me, they can only use the means on the table."
"But everything I have comes from Your Majesty, so I have no room for maneuver and be loyal to Your Majesty."
"There are so many kings and grandsons in Daliang City, sister, but you can't marry anyone."
"Because our family has no value in marriage at all, people who didn't look at our family before won't look at it now."
"If someone stretches out his hand at this time, then he wants your brother's current value, but as long as you hold that hand, your brother will lose this value in an instant."
"You are a weak woman, don't expect your husband's family to protect you, a high family, a woman's life and death are insignificant."
"So Yan Xiaofei is your best and only choice, because he, like your previous brother, is completely and belongs to His Majesty."
"And now that the emperor and Concubine Chen have jointly married, your marriage has an extra layer of glory and security."
"Remember, Your Majesty and Niangniang are your real maiden family."
"Always remember the kindness of Your Majesty and Niangniang, this is the foundation of your smooth life."
Qin Yanlan nodded again and again, she seemed to have only learned about the other world today.
Before, she was still thinking, why did the eldest brother have to want Wu Zhuanwen, isn't it good to stay with the emperor, and Zhuanwen has dropped a few grades.
And today, she realized that there was such a dangerous place in it.
She suddenly felt a little scared, and even though their family had been glorified today, she still had a sense of horror that she could not see tomorrow.
Qin Xingchao did not comfort her.
I used to think that if suddenly one day, an unpredictable disaster came, then let his mother and sister, who knew nothing, die unexpectedly.
Yan Xiaofei is a ninth-rate embryo, with a bit of righteousness from the Taoist, and he may be able to take care of his family if he cares about his old kindness.
When did it start to change?
Qin Xingchao recalled that it was probably the day he was dragged out of the water.
Maybe it's an omen, a bright-eyed girl in red who will fish him out of the mire.
If it had been falling into the ditch, it would have been fine, but one day, it climbed ashore.
None of the higher is able to protect themselves, so how can the lower one?
For example, mayflies, dying in the morning and in the twilight, are also a lifetime.
Got a good opportunity on the front line, why not fight for the individual extremely human ministers, the name of the history!
So his family, now they have to know, what he's doing.
Trembling, walking on thin ice.
It's a feeling that needs to be remembered all the time.
……
When Emperor Chongwen walked into the Qinghua Palace, he saw that Hongrui was looking for something in the cabinets, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What is this for?" ”
Xi Hongrui turned her head and looked at him with joy on her face: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the sister of the Great Commander of Qin is going to get married, of course the concubine must prepare a generous gift!" ”
"Speaking of which, the fate of the concubine and the emperor is thanks to the commander of Qin, if he hadn't fallen into the water and the concubine was fished up, wouldn't the emperor still know the concubine, hahaha!"
When Emperor Chongwen heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
It's hilarious to think back to the time.
How did Qin Xingchao do this person so honest, so serious, and so funny, hahaha!
After laughing, I suddenly felt that maybe it was really fate.
Qin Xingchao and his Hong'er, it's not good, who brought him whom.
But what they have in common is that they are both people who can work for him before and after him.
This may be a divine guide, and those who will help him will come together in various ways.
How could he look at all the people under him, all of them running to the new emperor?
Find out who is their master!
……
The weather is getting colder, the New Year is approaching, and it is clear that it is time to celebrate the New Year with joy, but the government and the opposition are silent.
Zuo Cao, the original head of the household department, was transferred to the ministry of officials, and Zuo Cao, the new head of the household department, was succeeded by Qin Xingchao.
The former Zuo Governor was imprisoned, the crime was unforgivable, the family property was confiscated, the crime was ambushed, and the rest of the relatives, the man was exiled, and the woman was unofficial.
And Concubine Chen's brother, who dedicated the new salt-making method, made great contributions, and was specially appointed as the new Zuo Governor Salt Supervisor.
A generation of new people replaced the old people, and the ministers at the bottom looked at the emperor at the top, and finally tasted a little bloodthirsty from it.
