Chapter 643 Peep through the secret situation and plot
——On the seventh day of May of the 32nd year of Xiliang Zhengsheng, King Ruiying attacked the emperor of Longshan. After Haojing's great victory, he held a banquet to invite his ministers and subordinates to celebrate together. During the banquet, the nobles of the cities and nobles were controversial about the new policies such as rewarding the imperial examination. Most of the praise were old and noble, and Hu and Qing's two families were against each other and argued with the public. Later, it triggered a case of party promotion, which caused conflicts between the old nobles and the two royal families. On the 11th of the same month, they summoned the political council of the three alliances to veto the government with many victories. The nobles were not convinced, and jointly reported to the king that he held the king's power, abolished the political council, and severely punished Jiang Gong's beheading. The Midsummer Junfu Banquet is actually the end of the abolition of the three surnames, and the beginning of the defeat of the Qing and Hu two clans.
The above is a brief record of the banquet in the Dajun Mansion in later history books. If you want to talk about what happened on this day, you must first pay attention to a rough maidservant in the raccoon room of the Dajun Mansion.
In May, the sunshine is already a little strong. In the middle of the day, the surrounding area is already golden. Maybe it is still hot when sitting in the corridor or walking slowly under the shade of flowers, but for the servant who is busy carrying water and raccoon clothes early in the morning, even if she pulls her sleeves to half an elbow, a thin layer of heat oozed from her forehead. Sweat.
A maidservant in gray was put the washed dress on the bamboo shelf and listened to the strong voice of Mother Zhan, the steward of the raccoon room: "Yo, isn't this Miss Xia Ke? Why did you bring your clothes in person? Are those little maids lazy? When the maidservant in gray heard the word "Xia Ke", her eyebrows couldn't help moving. The slender fingers opened the corner of the long skirt on the bamboo frame and looked out. When she saw the person clearly, the corners of her lips trembled fiercely.
Xia Ke didn't notice that he was being peeped at, and only gave the basket in his hand to Mother Zhan: "There is a banquet in the house today, and the little maids of Lvqingyuan have been recruited. I just came here to run errands. This is my dress with Pan'er. There is a hard work, Mama."
The gray maid saw Xia Ke's back out of the courtyard door, and then came forward with a smile: " Mother, that sister is very beautiful, but your Highness is on duty?"
This seems to indicate that the maidservant in gray has just entered the house and is not familiar with personnel.
Although Mama Zhan's voice is loud, it is actually kind. In addition, although this gray maidservant is a newcomer, she is a sweet-mouthed and usually comes. Mother Zhan took good care of her and said, "It's the person in front of my wife."
"Madam? Didn't you say that you haven't got married yet?"
Mama Zhan lowered her voice: "In a word, it's the king's order to call the master of Lvqingyuan his wife. We slaves and maidservants can't care too much and carefully come out of the mouth."
The maid in gray wanted to ask more, but Mama Zhan had turned around and handed the basket to the woman beside her. That was her daughter-in-law: "Xia Ke and Miss Pan'er are not as ordinary people, but you have to be careful. You should wash your clothes immediately, dry them and send them to Lvqingyuan." The gray maid walked aside, moved Zhang Xiaozi to sit next to the maid who lived in the room with her, helped clean her clothes, and touched the same room with her elbow: "Have you seen your wife?"
"I don't have that blessing, but I have heard that my husband was born very beautiful. Xiao is like a concubine of Dalong. It is said that the emperor used to admire the concubine, so he spoiled his wife so much." "The same room" buried her head and whispered, not paying attention to the sudden change of the gray maidservant and the dark calculation in her eyes.
Mother Zhan was looking at her daughter-in-law's sleeve and carefully treating the dress sent by Xia Ke, and heard a voice, "Is Sister-in-law Zhan available?" As soon as she turned around, her face was full of hospitality, so her voice was a little thicker: "Internal steward, why do you have time to come here?"
Of course, the stew manager is not free today. However, the king was worried that the servant who was originally waiting in the inner house was not tight, so he leaked his wife's words to the guests and asked her to gather the original "group" across the hospital for temporary isolation for a day. In this way, she had to transfer another group of people to serve. She was busy for two or three days, It can be regarded as a complete arrangement of manpower. Unexpectedly, last night, two maids were greedy and ate their stomachs. Today, they couldn't get out of bed. The steward really couldn't find a replacement for them for a while. Thinking that Dajun's expedition to six counties this time, he brought back dozens of Beiyuan slaves and maidservants. Among them seemed to be young and beautiful, they seemed to show up and temporarily arranged them in Huanyi. After sweeping and other places, the inner stewor happened to pass through this yard and come to ask for people.
As soon as Mother Zhan heard that this was the reason, she immediately thought of the gray maid who had a good relationship with her and called her over: "Is it appropriate for this girl to be called Xuelian?"
The steward looked at the maid in front of him and saw that she was tall and slender, and she really looked Zhou Zheng. She didn't look like she was doing rough work. He asked a few more words. Seeing Xuelian's answer the rules, he was more satisfied: "Today, you have to be careful. If you do it well, you won't be rewarded."
Then he took the person to the inner house.
These maids were only responsible for delivering tea and water, or running errands to spread the trivial matters. The steward turned Xuelian to the specific person in charge and was busy with other matters.
He also said that the banquet, although it does not follow the set of separate seats between men and women, most of them are families, whether men and women sit in a row, the husband and wife sit together, and later they are children, but it is impossible for guests to step on the point of the banquet, and they also have to arrange to visit the garden in advance and arrange tea, melons and fruits in the pavilion. After all, men and women are different topics There will be differences. Most of the male guests gather together, and the females also have their own gossip. There is no such thing as men and women sitting in a pile. You say your state and military, I say my clothes and jewelry, that is to say, before the banquet, men and women are still separated, but they are not as strict as Dalong, and there is a difference between the front yard and the back house.
Just a moment after Chen Zheng, I didn't expect that guests would be the first to come to the door.
The people came from the Qing clan, Lanjiang Gong and Chunjiangjun's father and son, as well as the female family including Jiyu.
The reason why this pedestrian got to catch up early is, of course, the decision of the head of the family, Duke Lanjiang - since the good news of Haojing's victory arrived in Dajing, Lanjiang Gong was extremely shocked by the power of Dajun, and his determination to promote marriage became more and more unwavering. But after several tests, the king of Xiliang did not let go, and Lanjiang also knew that the king wanted to take it. Alloy Yuan and Dajun, although Xiliang ruled with three surnames, the political council could only interfere in national affairs, and it was impossible to force the king to marry a wife. Lanjiang Gong had no other way for a moment, so he put his idea on his wife Yue. This is the queen's direct niece. With her appearance, the queen would have died a little.
I didn't know that Yue was forced to enter the palace several times. Before he achieved his goal, on the day the king returned to Beijing, he put forward the proposal of sealing the city.
Lanjiang Gong was anxious and summoned the staff to discuss for many days, believing that he could not tear his face with the emperor. Of course, it was impossible to accept the implementation of the decree of the fief. The final way out was just to persuade the monarch to dispel the idea of Fengyi. Lanjiang came today. Early in the morning, it is necessary to take advantage of Dajunxiao before everyone.
"Although the king has made military achievements this time, his majesty may not be determined to make His Highness the crown prince. In the final analysis, His Royal Highness's loss is not Wan." Lanjiang Gong took the lead in opposing the emperor and Jin Yuan, and then said in detail: "If according to the covenant, your majesty has no children, and you should succeed the direct daughter. Your Highness proposed to honor the nobles here in order to boost morale, but with all due respect to my majesty's intention is to provoke the separation between the nobles and the political council on this reason, which is fundamentally used. It means to abolish the political committee! If the political committee is abolished and the royal power is no longer constrained, will your majesty still follow the covenant? If the king is wise, he should still oppose the feudal government. Qing is willing to help you inherit the throne.
Lan Jianggong has always been a straight white man. The intention of this is obviously to make Dajun stand on the side of the political committee, especially to share the joys and sorrows with the Qing family and strive for a great position.
In contrast, Dajun seemed too blunt. He did not make a statement at all, but sat on his head with an inexplicable smile.
It is also said that the women's family did not attend as usual. The two wives are the sister-in-law of Lanjiang Gong. One is the main room of Han Yangjun, who went with Jin Yuan last time, and the other is Mrs. Liang Yang, the mother of Jiyu. Because of the humiliation of Jiyu, the Qing family members were greatly humiliated. They did not dare to complain about the king and complain. Remembering on the head of Qianpan, naturally, you will not be self-contained at this time. Please see the concubine, and the two sisters-in-law sit in the pavilion to taste tea.
Jiyu and her cousin, who had not been crowned, couldn't sit still. No matter how many private words it was, it was not convenient to talk in front of their elders, and they were strolling around the garden.
When they went to a flower house, the two saw that the maid of the king's mansion was putting tea, and the emperor went in and sat by the window to talk.
These two noble daughters of the royal family don't care about other maidservants around them at all.
So Xuelian, who was temporarily caught, heard all the gossip.
"Today's banquet, I don't know if Qian can attend it. I'm really a little curious about her." Qing Xiaomei said.
"She is just a concubine. What qualifications does she have to attend the banquet? No matter how much you spoil her, you have to take care of the guests present. Today, they are all nobles. Who would like to sit with a humble concubine?" Ji Yu was furious when she heard the word Qianpan. What she had left was to humiliate "Chanpan". She couldn't wait for someone to spread the words, and she wouldn't care about the ears and eyes around her.
"Sister, don't say that. I heard that many noble women have come to bid farewell to Qian. Isn't Tongyang become a regular guest of Dajun Mansion?"
"Those are no ladies, but the female members of some small nobles ignore their dignity and socialize with a concubine. Xiliang has not made such jokes for a hundred years. As for Tongyang, no wonder she is like this. Who let the Hu family decline? The whole family is shameless." Jiyu snorted coldly: "Look, Qianpan hopes that this concubine is not good. Didn't the aunt also say that the queen was very resistant to her?"
Although Xuelian did not know who the two noble girls were, she understood from Ji Yu's words that "Qianpan" was the owner of Lvqingyuan, and she became more and more attentive. However, she didn't have a chance to listen more, because a steward daughter-in-law called her out and asked her to go to the tea room and bring a few boxes of refreshments.
