Chapter 188 Decisive
Yuan Xiu sent away picking oranges and Guo Xue, but she had an appetite. The dinner was exactly what she hunted today, and the first one was the deer. This dish suddenly reminded her of the scene when she arrived at the Pingjin mansion of the eldest princess's mansion at the beginning of the year. Therefore, after dinner, she called to pick blue and asked about the recent situation of Pingjin: "Sister's Although Fengyi is not remote and close to Dongdu, she has lived in Chang'an for many years. Is it good to be in Fengyi now?
Cai Lan was meticulous and always kept an attention to the people and things related to Yuanxiu. At this time, Yuan Xiu asked, and said, "The side of Fengyi was originally built according to the regulations of the eldest princess. Princess Pingjin took Princess Chengyi to go there and ordered people to demolish the Passover place. The nearby officials went to visit according to etiquette, but Ping Princess Jin had never seen her on the grounds of fatigue on the journey. The last time, Lu Fu entered the palace and asked him a few questions when he sent him out, saying that the princess and the princess were doing well, but thinking about Wulang and the A family.
The so-called thinking about Fengchun and Yuanxiu, that is to say, they still want to go back to Chang'an, but they can't find the right steps for a while. No, there is a ready-made step, and it's not too far away. Yuanxiu narrowed her eyes. She was born in July, and she happened to have a ceremony this year. Now, because of Ren Qiu's case, the rumors of several princesses in the royal family, including the news of He Yi's love for Mu Yuanxiu, have been thrown aside. By July, if Fengchun nodded, Pingjin will not come back. Difficult.
But Yuanxiu was a little worried about the eldest sister's work. He pondered for a moment and asked, "I remember that when the eldest sister took Chengyi away from Chang'an, she seemed to take the fairy slave? That fairy..."
"I also asked Lu Wei last time." Cai Lan smiled bitterly, "At first, the Lu family ordered everything else. Later, I said that the A family did not ask. It was because I had more mouths, so the Lu family agreed to secretly tell the slave that Princess Pingjin has paid more and more attention to the son-in-law in the past two years, but she was particularly concerned about the fairy slave. This time, the princess took the princess to the palace, but left the son-in-law. Things..."
Yuan Xiu frowned: "Then have you asked him why? How do I seem to remember that when the eldest sister wanted to leave Zheng Cong, his father personally came forward to persuade him, and even scolded Wei for the laxity of the family. At that time, Lu Lifei was still alive and was angry and had a serious illness... Wasn't the eldest sister and Li for Wei Tan at that time, but really for this fairy slave?"
Her tone is full of incredible colors. Meng Tang inherited the Sui Dynasty, while Sui continued the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Up to this dynasty, due to the imperial examination system, the valve reading is no longer as high as the previous dynasty. Except for the five surnames and seven Wang stubbornly, it is also common for the children of the Wang clan to marry or marry civilians. It's a matter, but that's only for civilians - the fairy slave was originally from a religious workshop and was a pleasure. This nationality is extremely humble, and even his children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the science field. Pingjin is the emperor's daughter!
Jin Zhiyuye raised a few faces. Although Yuanxiu didn't do this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what his aunts and sisters did. It was just that the opposite side moved sincerely, but it was really ridiculous!
Nowadays, although the gap between scholars and civilians is no longer there, there is still a world of difference between civilians and happy people! The so-called good family refers to being a civilian, but as for Leji, it is similar to prostitutes... A few decades ago, the romantic female crown fish mystery full of Chang'an was not precisely because of the origin of prostitutes. Even if she got Wen Tingyun's blue eyes when she was a child, she finally married Li as a concubine. Even if she was a concubine, Li's wife was not allowed to rush. He drove her out and had nowhere to settle down. She had to be a monk in the Xianyi View where Princess Xianyi, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong, lived in those years.
Yuan Xiu's face gradually became solemn: "Can Lu Feng say something?"
Cai Lan coughed gently, motioned others to retreat first, and poured a frozen drink for Yuan Xiu. Then he whispered, "Princes Pingjin's house is not ashamed of this matter. Naturally, the Lu family refused to say more, but I have an idea when I knocked on the sidelines."
"Oh?"
"I think that Princess Pingjin and Wei Tan had an excellent relationship in the first few years, otherwise the late emperor was still there, and Wei Tan was extremely dissatisfied. If it hadn't been for Princess Pingjin, she would have found a reason to transfer him from Chang'an!" Cai Lan's words are euphemistic. In fact, because Emperor Xianzong was extremely satisfied with his eldest son-in-law Zheng Cong, he even had the heart to kill Wei Tan for the sake of Pingjin's request and departure. However, He Pingjin knelt on the Zichen Hall and said that he wanted to live and die with Wei Tan. After all, Xianzong loved his daughter so much that he had to endure it with hatred. If it hadn't been for that time Hou Pingjin had a deep affection for Wei Tan, and how could Emperor Xianzong, who shocked the vassals and dream of the Tang Dynasty, ask the Wei family to hit him in the face?
Yuan Xiu nodded slightly: "I've heard something about it." At that time, Yuanxiu was not born, but she also faintly heard how affectionate and righteous Pingjin used to Wei Tan in the palace - Cai Lan squeezed her lips: "Princesss Pingjin... Although she has a heart for her son-in-law, what she cares about most about as a mother is her own children..."
She tried her best to say something euphemistically. Yuan Xiu frowned and had already heard what she meant: "You mean that the eldest sister and her son-in-law are estranged because of the barbarians?"
"A family, when I entered the palace, I first served the Empress Dowager Wenhua. At that time, Princess Pingjin had fallen, and the empress dowager had rewards from the princes in the palace. At that time, the only king and Princess Pingjin, who had married and opened the mansion, also sent the gifts to the mansion. At that time, I followed my aunts, but went to the princess of Pingjin's mansion. After running in the mansion several times, Princess Pingjin and Zheng Shu, the man of today's founding county, respected each other. However, I listened to the comments of the princess's mansion several times, saying that Zheng Shu treated Princess Pingjin more respectfully and was not close enough. Princess Pingjin was also the eldest daughter who was loved by the former emperor for ten minutes. She was consciously snubted by Zheng Cong and was dissatisfied. After that, Princess Chengyi was born, press The daughter of the princess and the daughter of the kings can only be the county magistrate, but the eldest son can be the princess. However, because the princess Chengyi is the first of the grandchildren, and because the princess of Pingjin has always been loved by the former emperor, she has crossed the rank and made her the title of princess, and even the title is planned by the former emperor. Cai Lan said, "Later, Princess Pingjin fell in love with the current Wei's son-in-law. The former emperor couldn't resist the princess and agreed to her. Although this matter hurt the former emperor's heart, it was her own daughter, which was often visited by people, and the rewards were endless. It was not until the death of the former emperor that Princess Pingjin and Wei's son-in-law became cold!"
"Man'er is really messing around. How humble is the identity of the fairy slave?" Yuan Xiu frowned, "Even if she doesn't like Wei Tan, she can't instigate the eldest sister and her husband to discord!"
But when he heard Cai Lan beside him, he said quietly, "The A family only saw Zheng Yu once when he was a child. I don't think he looks like. To tell you the truth, the fairy slave fell elsewhere, but his back is very similar to Zheng Yu!"
Yuanxiu was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
"In fact, after Princess Pingjin let Xiannu live in the eldest princess's mansion, Lu Lifei cried to the former emperor. Zheng's son-in-law snubed Princess Pingjin, so that Princess Pingjin had to accept a servant with a back similar to the emperor's son-in-law. The late emperor also knocked around for this and asked the emperor's son-in-law for a while. Waiting to accompany the princess. Cai Lan said in a low voice.
Yuan Xiu frowned: "So after Empress Dowager Zhaoxian mourned, we went to the eldest sister's mansion and showed me the flower basket made by the fairy slave. At that time, I thought she was a child's heart and didn't care much about it, but it turned out that she deliberately praised him?"
She pondered, "Since my father persuaded Zheng Qian to treat his elder sister better, did he dare not to listen?"
"Originally, the former emperor took a fancy to Zheng's son-in-law's stability, and Princess Pingjin also liked his powerful appearance, but the emperor's son-in-law was silent. Although he was told by the former emperor to often go back to his house to accompany the princess, most of them said to accompany the princess, rather than with the princess, and Princess Pingjin Jinzhi Yuye, was proud of her heart. Although the emperor did not tell the emperor's son-in-law in public, at that time, there was Concubine Lu Li in the palace, and these things could not be concealed from her. The family thought that Princess Pingjin was the eldest daughter of the former emperor who loved like a pearl. Her biological mother, Lu Lifei, was born in a hope family and was one of the three wives. Since she was a child, she was deeply loved by the former emperor. Although her appearance was not as good as the A family when she was a teenager, But it is also comparable to Princess Changyang, that is, without the status of the emperor, do you still worry that Chang'an does not have Lang Jun's intentions? Because at this time, only Cailu left to listen with Yuanxiu, Cailan was not afraid to speak and lowered her voice, "If Princess Pingjin didn't know that the former emperor told her son-in-law to accompany her, it would be fine. Seeing that the son-in-law had stayed in the house for a long time, she had been staring at the princess and then thought about the instructions of the former emperor... Where Is there anything that doesn't upset?
At that time, Princess Pingjin was born noblely and young and beautiful. Any weight in these two was enough to attract Chang'an teenagers to chase each other. However, Zheng Cong had never been close to her since she got married. Princess Pingjin was conceited and regretful. Finally, she often stayed with her son-in-law, but then found that her son-in-law was more Pay more attention to his daughter rather than himself, and then find that the reason why he often stays in the house is entirely due to the private instructions of Emperor Xianzong, rather than his love for himself. This perception is unacceptable for any arrogant woman.
As the same emperor's daughter, Yuan Xiu thought about it and could understand her eldest sister's mood at that time - no wonder that she would openly let the prostitute live in the mansion. For Wei Tan, a promiscuous son who has neither merit nor talent, she did not hesitate to kneel down and ask for peace - even if she had a daughter with Zheng Cong at that time!
She sighed, "Then why does your father have to compensate Zheng Shu?" At this time, Yuan Xiu felt that Zheng Shu was sorry for Yuan Xiu.
Cai Lan and Cai Green looked at each other and cleverly replied, "This is all because of the kindness of the former emperor."
-The truth is that no matter how graceful the princess of this dynasty is, she has been superior to men and women since ancient times. At that time, Princess Pingjin was ashamed and made a lot of trouble. Even if there was an example of Princess Xincheng in front of her, Princess Pingjin did not pass away and was not seriously ill. Instead, she openly made trouble in front of the imperial court to make peace and leave, and the city was full of wind and rain. Naturally, Zheng Shu was sympathetic. At that time, Emperor Xianzong was weakening the vassal town. At that time, Zheng Shu was the son-in-law he chose for his beloved eldest daughter. He was talented and naturally wanted to appease him.
What's more, Emperor Xianzong himself is also a man.
Yuan Xiu sighed and no longer pursued the matter, but turned the topic to the matter of picking orange and reported: "Digation of Lu 26 Niang. Don't embarrass her first. Is it Lu Zhi's niece?"
"Picking oranges made Guo Shuang look at her. The woman looks like a very measured person, but please don't worry." Cai Lan said in a hurry.
"Oh? Is it Xue Niang's second sister? Yuan Xiu asked disbelievely, "Her little sister thought that she was frightened by Cui Shisi's hand today. Wouldn't she take the opportunity to get it back from Lu 26 Niang?"
"Don't worry, it's not that Shuang Niang has been watching. Someone will change it at night." Cai Lan said, "Besides, after all, Shuang Niang is the daughter of General Manager Guo. She doesn't have the order of the A family and does not make decisions without authorization, but she knows more than some people."
Cailan's words were obviously stabbing Cui Shisi, and Yuan Xiu was angry, which was also a little ridiculous: "Dangjun, it's enough to intimidate the young girl, and you still have to show your blade - this Cui Shisi is at least a member of the Boling Cui clan, and he is so promising!"
"The A family doesn't know that he is still the nephew of Princess Cui, which is nearly one layer more than Cui Nanxun, who is only Princess Cui's cousin!" Cai Lanpu smiled and revealed, "His father, Cui Wenli, an official of Sinong Temple, and his cousin Cui Wenyi, who is also the father of Cui Nanxun, is a minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies. This man is still just an ordinary soldier in the imperial army. If he is not good at it, he is old with Yuan Beihe. This time, he will escort the A family to escape the summer heat with his eyes and humane. , where is he close to you?
Yuanxiu remembered that Yunzhou was plotted in Princess Jiashan's mansion at the beginning, and became less and less fond of Boling Cui. He snorted coldly, "Then Cui Nanxun may be more capable than him, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing!"
Cai Lan and Cai Lv both knew about Princess Dongping before. Xue personally taught Cui Nanxun a lesson for this. At this moment, they all squeezed their lips and smiled: "May be Cui Qing and Cui Shangshu are busy with state affairs and have not taught these two gentlemen well."
"These are all small things." Yuan Xiu said depressedly, "What annoys me is that Yuan Beihe's ability is not enough, and I don't know if there are any other people under the fifth brother. Otherwise, what if these people will praise him as a lieutenant of the divine strategy guard?"
The Shence Army was set up by Shuhan, the governor of Longyou during the Tianbao period. It gradually rose in the Anshi Rebellion. In the first year of Guangde, this army was led by the powerful eunuch Yu Chaoen at that time and escorted the emperor of Shanzhou back to Chang'an. Since then, it has become a forbidden army. Later, Yu Chaoen died of sin. The Shence Army was handed over to the commander of its army's soldiers and horses, but it was built. During the middle period, the change of Jing's pawn caused the Emperor Dezong to run away, so Emperor Dezong no longer trusted the minister of civil and martial arts. He divided the military power of the Shence into left and right compartments, handed it over to the eunuchs, and then set up a lieutenant of the left and right Shence army. Therefore, this army was nominally led by the general and the army, but the real power has always been held in the hands of the escort lieutenant-- Also because of this move of Emperor Dezong, the Shence Army's military power has been in the hands of eunuchs since then. From Emperor Dezong, several emperors have been abolished, and eunuchs have been involved in politics, all because they have captured this army!
Originally, Yuanxiu thought that Qiu Fengxiang let Fengchun help Yuan Beihe to the position of the army, which was to avoid the imperial power. Now it seems that it is mostly because of Yuan Beihe's lack of ability...
Yuanxiu sighed: "If the 25th mother of the Lu family still asks to see you tomorrow, Cai Lan will go out to entertain me in the main hall. After breakfast, send Yuan Beihe first." Yuan Beihe may be insufficient, but at least he is loyal. If he can mention something, he will do his best.
