The matchmakers went back and forth quickly, implemented the necessary procedures, and the two families set a date. In contrast, Yang felt that this wedding should be the most worry-free. The other party is a nephew from afar, and Shen Wen married to make it easy and not make it public.
Shen Wen didn't care about the wedding at all. She wanted to go to the south as soon as possible, start building ships, and go north along the coast to find Hong Er and pull him in... Don't all the dowry and betrothal gifts have to be kept? It is enough to have the support of the Li family's real money. So she especially supports Yang Shi and demands that everything be kept simple.
Marquis Pingyuan also wanted to get things done quickly so that Zhang Yunzheng could lead people to open up the island. He has been suspicious all his life, and if he doesn't have a place to retreat, he always feels uneasy. He hoped that this marriage would not attract anyone's attention, especially the new emperor's. It would be best to go to the sedan chair to carry the person into the mansion at that time, and just live like a commoner family.
Marquis Pingyuan called Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunzheng, and Zhang Yunzhao into the study, and said to them: "In this situation, Yunzheng can't be included in the family tree." If Marquis Pingyuan's second son got married, it couldn't be on such a small scale. Since he wanted Zhang Yunzheng to leave, he shouldn't recognize this son, otherwise there would be more trouble.
Zhang Yunming put his arms around Zhang Yunzheng's shoulder and said: "It's okay! I know who he is, his family tree and so on, I will add it in a few years."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "I don't care. But..." He turned to Zhang Yunzhao and said, "You have to call me Second Brother! Do you understand?!"
Zhang Yunzhao rolled his eyes secretly, he couldn't say anything in front of his father, so he bowed and said, "Second brother."
Marquis Pingyuan looked at his three sons with satisfaction: "You will help each other in the future, don't forget..."
The three looked up at the sky almost at the same time, Zhang Yunzhao said: "Father! We are all adults now!"
Marquis Pingyuan glared: "Get lost! What a grown-up? Looks like a brat!"
Marquis Pingyuan talked about the family tree and went to find Mrs. Li. Zhang Yunzheng's marriage is approaching, Li Shi is a little unhappy. She always felt a little awkward when Zhang Yunzheng skipped over her choice of a daughter-in-law. Even if the other party was a lifesaver, she couldn't get close emotionally. The marriage was not a big deal, she only felt sorry for Zhang Yunzheng, but not for Miss Shen Er. Being hired as a wife and running as a concubine, she stubbornly held a trace of dissatisfaction with Second Miss Shen.
Marquis Pingyuan was well aware of Li's mentality, and persuaded him: "Don't be so fussy, they will leave soon after they get married, and they will leave for at least a few years, out of sight and out of mind..."
Mrs. Li was about to cry: "They're leaving? My son, he's leaving after only a few days?! What's wrong?!"
Marquis Pingyuan couldn't go into details, so he could only say: "Don't you still have Dalang and his wife? I think that kid Yunzhao is growing up too, so you can show him his family."
Mrs. Li clenched her fists and said, "This time I have to widen my eyes and watch carefully!"
Zhang Yunming had just held a large-scale wedding with the fifth princess. He was afraid that Zhang Yunzheng's heart would be unbalanced, so he took Zhang Yunzheng out for a drink, and asked Zhang Yunzheng what he needed in a roundabout way. Zhang Yunzheng actually wanted to give Shen Wen a fair and aboveboard wedding, and marry Miss Shen as the second son of Marquis Pingyuan, but the new emperor's understanding of them made Shen Wen nervous, and Zhang Yunzheng also knew that this matter should not be messed around. The new emperor watched Shen Wen's methods from the sidelines. If he made a fuss about Second Miss Shen's marriage, it might be regarded as publicity and provocation by the new emperor. No matter how good-tempered the emperor is, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.
Hearing Zhang Yunming ask him, Zhang Yunzheng said unceremoniously: "I want a lot of things, first of all I have to ask the craftsmen we are looking for if they are willing to go to sea with us. They should have come back from Yancheng now, right? As soon as we go to the island, we need to build roads and houses, and we need people. She said that the island is huge. At the beginning, land can be allocated to attract talents. In the future, people can participate in urban construction in exchange for land.… "
Zhang Yunming listened to Zhang Yunzheng's eloquent talk about his plan to go to the island, and sighed enviously.
Because they didn't want to host this wedding, Pingyuanhou's Mansion only prepared a courtyard with three or four tables of banquets, and planned to entertain the family members at that time. Only Zhang Yunzheng's master Xiaoyao Gong came to attend the wedding of Zhang's "distant" nephew. He returned to the capital together with Marquis Pingyuan, and when he arrived outside the capital, he saw many people welcoming him, so he didn't follow him into the city, and went wandering by himself. He went back to the south of the Yangtze River to meet the old official Li, reported the news of the victory to the old official Li, and repeatedly boasted to the old official Li about the extremely mellow wine he drank in the Yan's wine cellar, saying that the old official Li was very good. The wine worm is very excited, and I want to try it too. He asked Xiaoyao Gong to go to Yan Sanguan to see if he could build a wine cellar together. Li's restaurants and restaurants are scattered all over the north and south, so they should be able to impress them.
Mr. Xiaoyao planned to go to Yan's Academy after attending Zhang Yunzheng's wedding, but not long after he arrived in Beijing, he caught up with the emperor to reward those who had made great contributions to the fight against Beirong again after his big wedding. This time, Also includes female relatives. The three sons of the Yan family were all given awards. The senior official Yan wrote a book to encourage the resistance to the enemy and was awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion. The three officials all gained fame for donating wine cellars. The wife of Xinzhen North Marquis Shen Yi's wife Liu, the second son's wife Yan, the Zhenbei Marquis military commander Ji Wenzhao Ji Yan, and the two wives of the Yan family may have helped the husband to protect the family. Weiguo, or because of chastity and virtue, was given a phoenix crown and Xiapei.
Many people think that this is the new emperor's reward to the Yan family for supporting him, and it is also a reward for the kind treatment of Queen Su by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Some courtiers think that the new emperor's reward is too much! This shows that the new emperor is not tough at all, and it will be difficult to control courtiers in the future. But who knows, this is not over yet, just three days before Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen got married, the new emperor decreed that Second Miss Shen should be named the "Lord of Huixin County" and use her to pray for the people and avenge justice for her father and brother. People should be treated with royal courtesy. Zhang Yunzheng, the nephew of Zhang Jiayuan's house who had no title of marquis, was also named "Marquis of Jiangong", and rewarded him for leading a hundred people to set up an ambush and defeat the Northwest Army of Beirong! At the same time, it was announced that the emperor and the empress would personally attend the wedding of Mr. Zhang Er and Miss Shen Er.
For a moment, the capital was stunned. Although Second Miss Shen went to the temple twice, and even went to the palace to complain about her innocence, but she never deserved to be named "County Lord"! Empress Su must have forced the new emperor to do this! From the beginning of the wedding, Empress Su began to blow the pillow wind! In order to give this Second Miss Shen's husband a title, even a distant nephew of Marquis Pingyuan was conferred the title of Marquis! The new emperor is too wooing Ping Yuanhou! Moreover, the emperor and empress have to go to watch the ceremony in person? Mr. Zhang Er is just a distant relative of Marquis Pingyuan, okay? !
On the pretext of going to see Su Wanniang, Su Chuanya ran into the palace to find the imperial study room, and wanted to meet the new emperor. The new emperor was waiting for Ji Wenzhao, who had come to Beijing for his wedding, to play chess, so he asked Su Chuanya to play chess. came in. When Su Chuanya came in and saw the new emperor who was smiling gently at him, she felt sad for a moment, and burst into tears: "I want to be a civil servant! I want to be a civil servant!"
The new emperor had insight into his broken heart, and comforted him: "You are still too young. Second Miss Shen will leave the capital after she gets married, and go to the south with her husband. You study hard at Yan's Academy, and after winning the exam..." Because you are Relatives, probably enough...
Su Chuanya swears with tears in her eyes: "I will follow her when she becomes a relative!"
The new emperor immediately decided that he must continue to urge Su Chuanya to struggle in the imperial examination. If he wins, give him an official right away, and he must not be allowed to run away with the second lady of the Shen family. He shook his head deeply: "That's too unfashionable, how can you run after him? You have to put on airs..."
Su Chuanya immediately said: "You were chasing after my sister back then!"
Xindi pressed his temple: "Go and tell your sister that I have a headache and ask her to prepare some Tianma soup for me."
Su Chuanya said: "Do I still need to talk about this?"
The new emperor said: "Of course, this is a secret! I haven't told others yet, so go!"
Su Chuanya left without getting what she wanted.
Ji Wenzhao arrived soon. The two of them met, time was precious, and they immediately started playing chess. While playing chess, they talked about things. When talking about the canonization given to Miss Shen by the new emperor, Ji Wenzhao said with a smile: "Miss Shen has got it!" It's unlikely that this title will stay."
The new emperor said indifferently: "If you don't stay, don't stay. One of them is Huixin County Lord, and the other is Jiangong Hou. They have traveled all over the world. The places they found and managed are all the land of my court."
Ji Wenzhao laughed loudly: "You plot against her, be careful that she goes to complain to Mrs. Su."
The new emperor raised his eyebrows puzzled: "What did she sue me? Did I bestow her family status? Seal her husband's title? Did I bully her?"
Ji Wenzhao nodded: "You bullied me!"
Xindi finally smiled: "Then she can't help it."
Sure enough, Shen Wen sighed in the room: "I knew he had a lot of fun! Sister Wanniang must have been eaten to death by him!" Before she was too emotional, Yang brought three daughters-in-law to find Shen in a panic. Wen: "Wen'er! The emperor and empress want to watch the ceremony! Your dowry! Your wedding dress!"
The dowry is much less than that of Shen Xiang, not to mention that Shen Wen is the laziest to do needlework, but the wedding dress has to be embroidered by the bride herself. Where is Shen Wen patiently embroidering? Stitched only with red brocade material. If it was a normal wedding, you can get away with it, but now that the empress is coming, there will naturally be other people accompanying her, so it would be bad to wear such a simple wedding dress, not to mention that Shen Wen was made a county lord!
Shen Wen pouted and said, "So what? I think it's pretty good!"
Mrs. Yang said to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yan and the newlywed Mrs. Zhang, who came together: "Listen, how can this be good? What should we do!"
Mrs. Liu said cautiously: "Why don't we help my sister..."
Yan Shi hurriedly waved her hands: "I can't do it! I can't embroider much better than her."
Zhang Yunjin said with a smile: "She needs to embroider this wedding dress herself. It's my younger sister who wants to marry Mr. Zhang Er, not someone else..."
After hearing this, Shen Wen didn't ask others to help, so he had the cheek to wear only the clothes he made, and let others talk.
It was the eve before Shen Wen put on makeup that the emperor bestowed Miss Shen Er as county lord. In a hurry, there were not many people who could rush to add makeup to Miss Shen Er, so they had to rush to the wedding to get closer to the empress.
Therefore, Shen Wen's make-up ceremony was relatively quiet, and on the day of the wedding, the two houses were full of people.
Empress Su arrived at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion early in the morning, and she must watch Shen Wen sort out the sedan chair. The two sat in Shen Wen's boudoir, Shen Wen asked others to wait outside first, and whispered a few words to Su Wanniang himself.
They all knew that this was the last time they would sit here, and they felt sad, and the two of them held hands, a little teary.
Shen Wen asked Su Wanniang: "Are you happy?"
Su Wanniang nodded shyly.
Shen Wen sighed: "The new emperor is not simple."
Su Wanniang smiled: "You know him too, he loves to play chess, and he's so exhausted that he has to take several steps to take one step."
Shen Wen pulled Su Wanniang's hand hard: "You are protecting him now!"
Su Wanniang sighed: "He is very poor, he can't go anywhere, and he has to get up early every day." She looked at Shen Wen sadly: "Do you have to go?"
Shen Wen nodded: "This is one thing I want to do in my life. If I think about it, I have to do it no matter what, otherwise Ji Guoshou will look down on me."
Su Wanniang cried: "Then we won't be able to see each other again, the eldest sister and the younger sister of the Zhang family have to leave..."
Shen Wen also shed tears. As soon as she got married, Shen Xiang would go to the northwest with the third prince, and Zhang Yunjin would accompany Shen Zhuo. Once he left, only the fifth princess and Su Wanniang would be left in the capital.
Shen Wen took Su Wanniang's hand and said, "I often visit you before I leave."
Su Wanniang nodded persistently and said, "Okay, I'll give you a sign, you must come to see me often..." But then what? Thinking of this at about the same time, the two began to cry.
Looking at the Second Young Master Zhang who came to greet his relatives, Old Hou Ye once again felt a sense of familiarity. He frowned and pondered, Shen Jian who was at the side saw this, and hurriedly interrupted with other things, disturbing the old Hou Ye's thoughts.
Marquis Pingyuan really felt that this was another trip by the new emperor. The royal furniture and large porcelain vases in the mansion had not been sorted out yet, and hundreds of people had poured in to watch the ceremony. With the arrival of the Imperial Palace, more and more people came. People think this is really a weird wedding. In terms of wealth and splendor, it can't be compared with the previous four weddings. The bride and groom's clothes are very simple, but the queen took a car and accompanied the bride with Chen Qiang, the fourth son of Marquis of Zhenbei. Along the way, the emperor was seated as the chief guest, and civil and military officials from half the dynasty came to watch the ceremony. It's really not low-key at all!
Mrs. Li was extremely depressed in the unprepared rush - this is simply showing her family's ugliness, letting everyone see such a wealthy Pingyuanhou Mansion, but holding such a simple wedding!
In the chaos, Rose ran up to Ding Neishi who was standing behind the new emperor, and tugged at his sleeve. Waiter Ding looked back, seeing that it was Rose, he almost cried. Seeing that the emperor was sitting in front, rose was not easy to talk, so she stuffed a small bag into Ding Neishi's hand and slipped away again.
After the three worships, the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, and the banquets in the Marquis of Pingyuan were almost set out in the courtyard. Li's various restaurants in the city ran back and forth to deliver food and drinks. Young Master Zhang and the others drank and drank heavily, and were carried back to the car by Young Master Zhang and Second Young Master Shen. The Queen and Shen Qiang took care of them, and Young Master Zhang took them back to the palace.
Waiter Ding waited until the servant Xindi fell asleep, then returned to his hut and opened the small bag given by Rose. Inside were many small black and brown seeds, which should be flower seeds. When they were guarding the imperial mausoleum together, Rose once said that she saw many mountain flowers, Ding Neishi rarely interjected: "I like flowers." Want to remember Rose.
Ding Neishi carefully divided the flower seeds into several parts and planned to plant them in front of his house, so that every time he went out and opened the window, he could see them. I just don’t know what kind of flowers they are. Is there one that can grow taller and live for decades, so that I can see it for a lifetime...
It was late at night, and Zhang Yunzheng returned to the courtyard of his new house reeking of alcohol. He went to take a bath, put on only a coat, and entered the door of the bridal chamber.
Seeing that Zhang Yunzheng's chest was half exposed, Shen Wen became very nervous when he thought of what he was going to do, and sat on the edge of the bed and stammered: "Are you drunk?... Go to bed first..." Don't do that...
Zhang Yunzheng smiled: "I really like it when you say that!" He rushed over suddenly.
Shen Wen yelled: "The lights are still on..."
Zhang Yunzheng made a backhand palm: "Isn't this easy?"
In the darkness, Shen Wen screamed: "You...you slow down..."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Okay, slow down..."
Shen Wen cried: "You... lie..."
Zhang Yunzheng's panting voice: "Where is it? This is slow... fast..."
Shen Wen shouted...
After Shen Wen got married and returned home, Shen Xiang, the third prince, and Shen Zhuo and his wife were about to go to the northwest territory of the third prince. In order to bid them farewell, Zhang Yunming booked Li Shi's Huanyin Pavilion. The men said goodbye to the wine together, and the women also had a table. The fifth princess, Shen Wen, the current Mrs. Zhang, and the Yan family were all at the banquet.
During the banquet, the third prince got up and pushed open the window, and said to Shen Jian with emotion: "Do you still remember that we were here to watch the burning capital?"
Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Zhuo also walked to the window, and they were silent for a moment.
There was a sound of carriages and horses outside the pavilion, and they all looked at the same place, but it was servant Ding who got out of the carriage at the head, followed by the new Emperor and Empress Su in plain clothes. Everyone hurried downstairs, saluting incessantly, the third prince said to the new emperor: "Didn't I enter the palace yesterday? Why did you come out? How can you bring so many people with you?"
The new emperor glanced at the back of Empress Su who was going upstairs, and whispered to the third prince: "Your younger brother and sister cried all night yesterday, I can't do it if I don't come."
The third prince thought hard, but couldn't remember whether Shen Xiang had cried, so he could only say: "It's fine if you come, let's have a few drinks together!"
The new emperor nodded and said: "Great! It's a pity that there is no wine from Yan's Wine Cellar, it's really good!"
The third prince said to Shen Jian: "I've always heard that Yan's wine is from your wife's family these days?"
Shen Jian hurriedly said, "No, no."
The new emperor sighed, and Shen Jian hurriedly said, "But my wife can help me get some."
The new emperor nodded and said: "That's good. When you come, serve Ding Neishi, don't tell the queen, she doesn't like me drinking." Several people laughed, only Shen Jian's smile was a little fake—who would believe it
Shen Xiang still shed tears when he saw Su Wanniang. The two of them cried and told about the past, and the others naturally cried with them. When they broke up, the eyes of the girls were all swollen.
Shen Xiang and Zhang Yunjin saluted and bid farewell to the fifth princess Su Wanniang and Shen Wenyan, Su Wanniang choked up and said, "You must come back, we want to get together again like this."
Everyone said yes, the two sides parted reluctantly, and no one knew that this was the last time they got together like this in this life.
Soon, it was autumn, and Shen Wen, Zhang Yunzheng, Shen Jian and Yan Shi left the capital. They walked very quietly, Shen Wen and Yan Shi both disguised themselves as men, riding horses with Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Jian to the southeast coast. The horse team left, and Shen Wen's farewell letter to Empress Su was sent to the palace.
Empress Su cried bitterly after reading the letter, and let the new emperor coax her all night.
An Lehou wrote a letter to return to the countryside, and asked his daughter-in-law to reunite with his son Zhenbeihou.
The courtiers all objected, saying that it was against the ancestral system, and only Ye Shilang said that he should take care of the laws of nature and human relations. The new emperor actually listened to Ye Shilang's words, and Mrs. Liu, the wife of Beihou in Yunzhen, took her son to the north and lived in Yancheng.
The once prestigious Zhenbei Hou Mansion fell apart, the old Hou Ye and the Yang family returned to the countryside, and the eldest son Shen Yi and his wife stayed in Yancheng. Because there was no war, Shen Yi asked to be disarmed and returned to the land after fifteen years. After receiving the emperor's approval, he took his wife Liu and five sons back to his hometown to serve his parents. The days in the countryside were ordinary, but his sons were very noisy. After the death of Lord Hou, Shen Yi and his family went to the island.
After Shen Yi left, the name of the Shen family army was no longer there, and it was the court's Yanbei field garrison ever since.
Miss Shen, Shen San, his wife and the third prince took root in the northwest.
The second son, Shen Jian and his wife, and Zhang Er and his wife from Pingyuan Houfu implemented novel political and economic measures after they came to the island.
From then on, the emperor always paid attention to the developments about Huixin County Lord and Jiangonghou. The court officials quickly noticed the emperor's preferences, and various news were passed into the palace in time:
The Marquis of Jiangong did not receive the title of island lord, and the second official Shen was the governor of the island. Most of the islanders are retired soldiers of the Shen family army. They live in a hundred people, and they elect a corps leader as an official, just like the military system. …
Gold mines were discovered on the island, and trade between the island and the mainland was frequent. …
The roads on the island are wide and straight, and the houses are tidy. Many merchants have opened their businesses in the past. …
The climate of the island is pleasant, the rice can be double-cooked, and the food is rich. …
There is a fort at the port on the island. When the gun is tested, the sound shakes the world...
"Your Majesty! Jiangong Hou has an evil heart!"
"Your Majesty, such fertile land should be nationalized!"
"Those who went there came back and said that no one there understands His Majesty's will and listens to the island governor's words. Your Majesty, this is rebellion!"
"The side of the couch..."
Emperor Wen sighed secretly, and said helplessly, "The most important thing now is to reduce the refugees." Emperor Wen looked at Ye Xiang: "What does Ye Qing think?"
What can I think? Yesterday you told me to prepare a big article...Ye Xiang said: "I think it's time to encourage businesses, hire refugees, and sort out farming and mulberry..."
"Your Majesty, China has always valued agriculture and despised business since ancient times. It is because of businessmen's actions that they are not in harmony with the way of nature. Businessmen seek profits and deceive their hearts, so they should not be entrusted with important tasks!"
Ye Fan retorted: "Not only businessmen have the desire to pursue profit, but officials also have the desire to pursue profit. People are selfish and can't be free from vulgarity. The key is to be restrained by the system and not let it overflow. Although business was not emphasized in the past, officials and businessmen colluded to exploit the village. Still committing crimes and doing evil. Nowadays, the key is to clean up the rules and encourage businesses with legal profits to benefit the people's livelihood, why not?"
Someone immediately said: "No! It's a matter of morality and righteousness, and it's not a joke! The ancients said..."
Emperor Wen sat on the emperor's throne, his eyes glanced at the shadow on the sundial, he seemed to be listening, he seemed to be thinking, all the courtiers tried their best to argue loudly, trying to get the new emperor's attention, no one knew that Emperor Wen was thinking Writing half of the chapters of "Conspiracy Theory" in my study, conceiving words...
When Ye Xiang spent most of his time convincing the people, Emperor Wen said that he would accept Ye Xiang's words and let everyone retreat. He didn't take the palace chariot either, but walked back to his palace with Ding's attendant. Outside the partition wall, there were people's conversations. The Royal Academy was under preparation. Emperor Wen thought that in the near future, when the academy was completed, there should be at least a million books. He would be able to borrow books at any time. The slobbering in the courtroom was forgotten.
Before he reached the gate of his palace, he smelled the fragrance of flowers and a faint smell of food. Emperor Wen asked Ding Neishi: "What kind of flower is this? It smells very good."
Ding Neishi faltered: "I...don't know..." He didn't know the names of the flower seeds given by the rose, but they are growing very well now. Maybe it's because he always waits on these flowers. During his lunch break today, he took a nap and dreamed about roses. In the dream, Rose was paddling a canoe on the sea... herding pigs! He boldly called out "Chinese rose" in his dream, and then woke up, thinking that this must be a dream!
On the far side of the island, Rose is leading his herd of pigs to the coast on the sea. He is lazy and doesn't want to do things like open up wasteland, build roads and bridges, or go exploring in the wild. Take a bath in the sea. Blue sea, white beach, warm sea breeze. He vaguely heard someone calling himself, looked around, and muttered: "Little Dingzi, I haven't forgotten, and I found a lot of flower seeds for you, and I'll send someone to bring them to you tomorrow..."
Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen stood on the rocks on the beach, watching Rose's canoe from a distance. Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "I would never have thought that pigs would swim in the sea."
Shen Wen laughed: "People who belong to pigs should understand pigs."
Zhang Yunzheng squinted at Shen Wen: "It's not a pig, so naturally I don't understand."
Sensing the danger, Shen Wen stepped away and said, "You are so humble, you can't forget your roots..." Before finishing speaking, he turned around and ran back to their simple bamboo house on the middle of the mountain in one breath. Zhang Yunzheng naturally chased him all the way, perhaps because he was dissatisfied that he was still not as fast as Shen Wen. Once he entered the house, he turned into a hungry tiger and took revenge on Shen Wen for attacking him...
Emperor Wen walked into the palace gate, and Su Wanniang came out in half-worn clothes, and said with a smile: "You are late today, eat quickly, or you will stay up late at night to write, and you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Emperor Wen asked: "I've decided to write something. There are a lot. Can I pretend to be sick tomorrow?"
Su Wanniang said, "No."
Emperor Wen sighed: "You always say that, why can't you agree with me once?"
Su Wanniang smiled and said, "I know that if I agree, you will really not go to court, so why don't everyone scold me to death?"
Emperor Wen said: "Where will it be? You can just scold it back, it's not a big deal..."
Su Wanniang pinched Emperor Wen's arm hard: "What's not a big deal? From now on, it's not a big deal if the king doesn't go to court early? Don't try to be lazy..."
Emperor Wen called out to Qu: "I just want to finish my book. How can I be considered lazy? My lady wronged me! I have two jobs at once, and I am the most diligent person in the world."
Su Wanniang's heart softened, she let go of Emperor Wen and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take a day off tomorrow, sleep is more important than anything else."
Emperor Wen was happy: "The one who knows me is also my wife."
That night, Emperor Wen wrote vigorously and did not go to sleep until midnight. Empress Su kept people from waking up, saying that Emperor Wen was not feeling well and could not go to court, and she refused to let the imperial doctor enter the hospital to diagnose Emperor Wen's pulse until Emperor Wen woke up at noon, saying that he was fine, but the imperial doctor returned without success. The notes on daily life in the palace wrote down the whole story. Empress Su was criticized for being arrogant and arrogant, and interfered with the government. Because Emperor Wen was weak, she let it go.
When Ji Wenzhao became prime minister when "Theory of Conspiracy" was published under the pseudonym of a fool. This book summarizes the strategies of various power struggles from ancient times to the present, and uses historical examples to show the darkness in the power struggle, and the spearhead is directed at the imperial power. The Ye Family Library undertook the printing of this book, and was strongly criticized by the court officials. They all said that it was using the past to satirize the present, and they wanted to do harm to the present. This book should be listed as □□ and the Ye Family Library should be closed down.
It stands to reason that Ji Xiang should seize this opportunity to hit Ye Xiang hard, but he actually defended this book in the court, and people thought he must have read that book and used it to make a name for himself. After all, what good would banning a book do him? It's better to gain the favor of the other party, to be convenient to others, to be convenient for yourself, and once he gets the aspect, he will give everyone a good impression of forgiving the opponent, he is really cunning!
Therefore, history books have always had mixed reviews of Ji Wenzhao. Some people say that he is a genius, reformed the official system, eliminated corruption and bloatedness in the original system, and used the law and the supervision of the people to regulate the behavior of officials, setting a precedent for a generation. ... There are also people who say that he manipulated the power and bullied the lord. Taking advantage of Emperor Wen's weakness and incompetence, relying on the support of his mentor, he managed his own power network and became the prime minister. A servant of the people, I am really sorry to my ancestors...
People's views on Emperor Wen were full of sympathy at the beginning. Emperor Wen ascended the throne with a disability, and he lacked confidence from the beginning. If you don't rely on the Yan family, you have to rely on the Lu family. He married a very jealous queen, used various rewards to curry favor with the generals and civil servants in the court, and later became a powerful minister...
But everyone has to admit that Emperor Wen's luck is really great! Not to mention that he had no chance of being emperor at all, the pie fell from the sky, the third prince rejected the national seal, and pushed him to the throne in a daze, but after he ascended the throne, news came that Zhenbeihou had defeated Beirong. That earth-shattering battle wiped out the military force that Tugu Khan had been operating for 30 years, and brought lasting peace to northern Xinjiang. The third prince, who abandoned the country, advanced to the northwest and opened up a large area of livestock grazing land, and the country no longer had a shortage of war horses. In addition, before Emperor Wen came to the throne, the country experienced many years of famine, and many wealthy families were wiped out. Many of them followed Prince Li's political opinions and did not save food. Prince Li destroyed the Great Wall by himself, and when Emperor Wen came to the throne, the power struggle was only concentrated in a few families, which was easy to balance. After Emperor Wen came to the throne, he had good harvests year after year, and the people were rich, which was beneficial for the new emperor to consolidate his position. In addition, he followed Ye Xiang's advice, broke the old idea of emphasizing agriculture over business, and greatly improved the status of merchants. With the cooperation of merchants, commerce developed rapidly, and various shops and products emerged one after another. Later, he used Shen Qiang and Zhang Yunzhao and other people who valued the law and despised power, severely punished corrupt officials, and brought peace to the people, making people feel that this dynasty is more prosperous than any previous era, and the praise of Emperor Wen naturally increases every year...
It was not until a long time later that people learned of many of Ye Xiang and Ji Xiang's suggestions. The policies and regulations they formulated were all discussed with Emperor Wen in advance. Emperor Wen just didn't want to stand in front of possible criticism. He has been hiding behind, pushing others to fight in front, while he himself goes down every day, reads books, writes essays, plays with children, and walks with the queen... The most abominable thing, he wrote the long masterpiece "Machinery" "On", which means that he is very clear about the conflict between people, but he has always pretended not to understand. Fortunately, many courtiers died without knowing this fact, otherwise they would have committed suicide in anger.
Compared with Emperor Wen, the evaluation of Miss Shen Er is more complicated. Some people say that she is a white lotus, and she entered the temple three times to pray for blessings, for drought, flood, and war, and every time she got the response of God, avoiding disasters. Some people also said that she was stupid, and she offended the power of the dynasty by her unscrupulous words from a young age, so that the first emperor ordered her family to be raided. Others said that her boudoir reputation was not good, that Prince Li once said that she would be accepted into the East Palace, and she even went to the palace to defend her father and brother in public. Others said that this is an unfathomable woman. Shen Jiajun and Ping Yuanhou's volunteers defeated Beirong in the past, and they were all inseparable from her guidance. That's why the emperor canonized her as the county lord and attended her wedding with Queen Su. . Of course, some people said that it was because Empress Su had a girlfriend relationship with her and forced Emperor Wen to do it...
There are different opinions in the world, but everyone knows that the husband and wife of Jiangong and Wenhui have a deep love. They went to the island together and established a rich and prosperous place. Legend has it that "Overseas Landscapes" written by Zhang Yunzheng, Jiangong Hou, recorded the political affairs, human conditions, scenery and customs of foreign lands, and even food and snacks. One of the emperor's princes was so tempted to go on a long journey...
The stars move and things turn, and the river goes east and west. After many years, these characters have long been lost in the washing of time. Even if history took a different path because of them, no one can know.
"Conspiracy Theory" and "Overseas Landscape History" have been handed down. One is called China's first reverse reflection on its own political system. The other is because it records the humanities of the same period overseas from a novel perspective. As a valuable historical document, even the words "dedicated to his beloved wife Shen" written by Jiangong Hou in the postscript have been faithfully translated into many languages, used in the historical research of his own country and other countries, and deduced by others. There are many romantic legends.
The author has something to say: Wow! Finally finished! more than a year!
First of all, I would like to thank Zhang Ruida. When I first started writing, I showed her the first draft. It was full of typos, the plot was slow, and the characters were uncertain... She always replied: "Write quickly! Write quickly! I will wait and see..."
