Chapter 467 Mrs.
He Zijin Jiang was fascinated by the Queen Mother, which made most of the imperial capital unable to understand the unique charm of Mrs.
Jiang.
Ever since Zijin was favored by the Empress Dowager, he often received some rewards from the Empress Dowager.
In fact, the Empress Dowager has always been very measured in the rewards given to foreign ministers, and they are always within the appropriate range.
Even if they are slightly better, they will never go out of their way.
However, this is already making people jealous.
Unexpectedly, since Mrs.
Jiang became the eldest princess and Mr.
Wu of Princess Jiachun, oh, not only Mrs.
Jiang got the reward, but now her children also benefited from it.
Everyone is not necessarily jealous of that little thing, being able to establish himself as an official in the imperial capital.
At least they have enough food and clothing.
No one is jealous of things, but they are jealous of the Jiang family's luck and Mrs.
Jiang's dignity.
As for how outsiders knew about the rewards given to the children of the Jiang family, it was a no-brainer.
In front of a room full of queens, concubines and concubines, the Empress Dowager rewarded the grandsons and granddaughters of the emperors, as well as the children of the Jiang family who followed them.
As for the empress dowagers, concubines and concubines in the palace, as long as their natal family members are in the imperial capital and are eligible to enter the palace to pay respects, they can enter the palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month and submit a sign to meet the ladies in the palace.
This matter can no longer be hidden from anyone.
Not only were some people envious of the Jiang family's good fortune, but also the gifts the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager gave to their grandsons and granddaughters were no longer a secret in the elite circles of the imperial capital.
The Empress Dowager has always treated people well.
On weekdays, it was normal for the Empress Dowager to reward the two girls who lived in Ci'en Palace, such as the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun.
Even the infant Second Princess often received things from the Empress Dowager.
The Second Princess was too young to use them, so Empress Dowager Su helped collect them.
In contrast, the emperor's grandchildren did not receive rewards so frequently.
However, the Empress Dowager always cared about the emperor's grandchildren.
However, such a formal reward, and the rewards contained many valuable things, could not help but make the well-informed ministers worry.
For example, Empress Dowager Su and her father Su Cheng'en went to her third uncle Su Shangshu's house to talk about this matter.
Su Cheng'en said, "It's a pity that the second princess is still young.
What a blessing."
The Empress Dowager's knowledge and experience Anyone who has experienced it will not look down upon it.
If you think about the books that the Empress Dowager read when she was a child, you will know how precious they are.
Su Shangshu said, "The Empress Dowager is always generous, and she likes girls the most.
The second princess is also a direct princess.
Even though she is younger, the Empress Dowager values her very highly."
Although Duke Su Chengen has a high position, he is not as good as his third uncle when it comes to official positions.
Now the third uncle has the highest official position in the family.
Therefore, Duke Su Chengen always consults his third uncle on everything.
Including when the late emperor was seriously ill, the queen's daughter was diagnosed with pregnancy.
At that time, the late emperor was already very ill, and some officials wrote letters suggesting that the late emperor should establish the heir first.
But in that case, how would the daughter, the first wife of the late emperor, deal with herself?
What's more, at that time, no one knew whether the daughter was carrying a prince or a princess.
What worries Su Cheng'en is that he consults with his third uncle.
He doesn't know how his third uncle works.
However, the late emperor agreed to wait until the queen gave birth before registering her.

Although the queen gave birth to a princess in the end, if it hadn't been for the third uncle at that time, it would have been difficult to accomplish this.
Therefore, today, when Duke Su Chengen heard about the reward from Ci'en Palace, he came over to talk to his third uncle.
Su Chengen said fairly, "Our queen only has one princess, so I feel at peace in my heart.
However, there is one thing that I don't know if I have thought too much about.
Yesterday, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager rewarded all the emperor's grandchildren.
Although what everyone received was a precious thing, The sixth prince born by Wei Tai Zhaoyi received the history book of the previous dynasty annotated by Emperor Taizu.
Isn’t this too precious?”
Su Shangshu pondered for a long time and then said, "When it comes to precious things, there are things in the hands of the empress that are even more precious than this.
You have thought too much.
If you ask me, the pair of dragon swords and phoenix swords that your majesty received are more precious.
That's Emperor Fengwu used many things.
Emperor Taizu was the one who respected Emperor Fengwu the most.
The pair of dragon knives and phoenix swords were the most suitable for the emperor, not to mention the things that the empress had longed for from his majesty.
It’s all in this reward.”
When Mr.
Su Cheng'en heard what his third uncle said correctly, his heart dropped to his stomach.
If the Empress Dowager was giving a reward to another prince, Mr.
Su Chengcheng would not necessarily have to go to his third uncle.
You must know that the sixth prince's biological mother, Wei Tai Zhaoyi, was from the Wei family, and Wei Xiang was the sixth prince's grandfather.
However, Prime Minister Wei has always been loyal, so of course Duke Su Chengen would not speculate too much on Prime Minister Wei.
However, the reward from the Empress Dowager and the history books of the previous dynasties annotated by Emperor Taizu are so precious that people can't help but think about it.
By the way, how did this thing get into the treasury of the Empress Dowager?
Yes, the rules of rewarding people in this palace, such as the empress dowager, empress dowager, emperor, and empress, all have their own private treasury.
For example, the first class of concubines is their own private house.
If anyone wants to give something as a reward, it should come from his own treasury or private room.
Putting aside the thought-provoking incident of the Empress Dowager's reward, Mr.
Su Cheng'en, who came from a noble family and had always been strict, felt that the Empress Dowager's collection was extraordinary.
Su Shangshu seemed to have read his nephew's thoughts.
Su Shangshu smiled and said, "Don't talk about the empress's many years of honor, but think about her origins.
These things may seem rare and precious to you and me, or maybe they are just ordinary things to the empress."
What?”
Su Cheng'en thought about it and said with a smile, "That's true."
The Queen Mother's natal family, the Xie family, was already a famous family.
Even more prominent was the Queen Mother's natal family.
The Queen Mother's mother, Mrs.
Wei Guo, was the beloved daughter of Princess Fu Sheng and Prince Consort Fang.
When Mrs.
Wei married the Xie family, the dowry was no less than that of a princess.
After the death of the Fu Sheng, all the property was sealed up in the royal family, and was later inherited by the empress.
Princess Fu Sheng served as regent for several years, so you can imagine the treasures in her mansion.
In addition, the Empress Dowager originally married a prince, and she has been married to a prince concubine, a feudal concubine, a crown princess, a queen, a queen mother, and a queen dowager.
The wealth of her private house was even unimaginable to Mr.
Su Chengen.
Thinking of this, Duke Su Cheng'en felt that what his third uncle said had some truth to it.
Duke Su Cheng'en told his third uncle another story, "A few days ago, Earl Cao invited me to have a drink."

When Su Shangshu heard the words Earl Cao, he couldn't help but sneered, "When Empress Cao builds the Shoukang Palace to be bigger than Ci'en Palace and Yongshou Palace, I'm afraid no one from the Cao family will treat you to a drink."
Duke Su Cheng'en also looked down on the Cao family in his heart, but who knew that the grandson of the Cao family was sitting on the throne now.
Su Chengen said fairly, "I don't know what Earl Cao means.
However, our empress has always been submissive.
Even if she wants to speak for empress Cao, everything depends on the Queen Mother's wishes."
Su Shangshu snorted coldly, "You are telling the truth.
The Cao family may not appreciate your kindness.
Empress Cao doesn't even look down on the Queen Mother, so how can she look down on our Queen Mother?
Don't do that either.
Thinking about the Cao family being His Majesty’s maternal family, thinking about the Hu family back then, they were also Emperor Taizong’s maternal family.
Now we are from a scholarly family, and all our children are educated in science.
It's not that I look down on the Cao family as a wealthy family.
There are many people from poor families in the imperial capital.
Isn't it true that Uncle Zhongyong came from a poor family?
The late Emperor Xu Zhi's beloved daughter, the Jiang family, also came from a poor family.
The children in the family are well-informed and respectable, but these greedy people who don’t know how to advance or retreat are disgusting.”
Duke Su Cheng'en sighed, "It's not like that.
Everyone is just looking at His Majesty's face."
Su Shangshu said, "What other people think has nothing to do with our family.
People are most afraid of being indecisive.
Your grandfather once said when he was alive that when you don't know what to choose, choose justice.
You will never go wrong."
Duke Su Chengen thought about his grandfather's words carefully and realized that they had profound meaning.
For example, in the Su family, the Empress Dowager Su only had one direct princess in the palace.
Therefore, even if the Empress Dowager gave the second princess a richer reward, the Su family would not be worried except being flattered.
After all, regardless of the relationship between Queen Mother Su and the Queen Mother over the years, or the relationship between the Su family and the Queen Mother, both the Queen Mother Su and the second princess can afford the generous gift given by the Queen Mother.
But, others are different.
For example, the second emperor's grandson's mother's family, the Qi family, and Concubine Qi's mother's family are a close branch of Qi Guogong's mansion.
Speaking of which, even though they are branch families, their relationship is very close.
Concubine Su's grandfather and the current Duke Qi were full brothers, but the title was inherited by Duke Qi, so the Second Grandfather Qi naturally became a side branch.
Mrs.
Qi Er, Grand Concubine Qi’s grandmother, and Mrs.
Qi Taifei’s maternal relatives came to discuss this matter with Mrs.
Qi Guogong.
Old Mrs.
Qi Er said, “Sister-in-law, what I want to say may be a bit petty.
Sister-in-law, please don’t laugh at me.
I don’t care.
Let's talk about that idea Although she is the grandson of the second emperor, she is her biological grandmother after all.
Naturally, the empress dowager loves the second grandson more than we do.
Among the names of these grandsons, only the second emperor’s grandson’s name was chosen by the empress dowager herself. .
This time, I feel that the Empress Dowager is giving a generous gift to the six emperors and their grandchildren."
Mrs.
Qi Guogong had obviously also heard about this.
Seeing that both Mrs.

Qi Er and Mrs.
Qi looked puzzled, Mrs.
Qi Guogong said, "What our second emperor and grandson got is the copybook used by the late emperor when he was practicing calligraphy.
Isn't it good?"
"There is nothing wrong with the gift from the Empress Dowager."
Old Mrs.
Qi Er said softly, "It's not that I am thick-skinned.
In front of the Empress Dowager, among all the grandsons of the emperors, except Your Majesty, it is our second emperor's grandson."
But this Now, the things that the sixth emperor's grandson got were obviously more than the second emperor's grandson.
The second emperor's grandson was Mrs.
Qi Er's great-grandson.
Mrs.
Qi Er felt that she was still in good health, so she worried more about her great-great-grandson.
Mrs.
Qi agreed, "Yes."
Mrs.
Qi Guogong asked, "What do you say when you enter the palace?"
This question was about the second emperor's grandson's biological mother, Concubine Qi.
Mrs.
Qi said, "Our grandma is happy about everything.
I think she is very happy."
"That's good."
Duke Qi said, "You are fans of the authorities and worry too much about your empress.
In terms of status, in addition to the three palaces in the palace, it is our empress.
The Empress Dowager has always liked the second emperor's grandson, but Let me tell you, because of this, the Empress Dowager cannot show preference in rewards.
Think about it, is this true?"
Mrs.
Qi Er and Mrs.
Qi were stunned at first, but then they slowly figured it out.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs.
Qi Er said, "Yes, my sister-in-law is right.
You said that I am still two years younger than my sister-in-law.
Why did you get confused first?"
Mrs.
Qi Guogong smiled and said, "You care too much about the concubine."
Mrs.
Qi said, "Isn't that what the aunt said?
In the years since A'nan entered the palace, not only the old lady, but also the aunt, how could she not care about her?
A'nan has been a talkative and laughing person since she was a child. , I used to have some grievances, but now I think about it, Empress Su is the only one in the palace who favors the Empress Dowager.
Who is this?
It's incomparable.
Now that my mother-in-law has spoken, I suddenly realize that our grandmother, the Queen Mother, is not unlucky after all.
"Mrs.
Qi said this completely from her heart.
Why do you think so now?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Is it possible that I was able to be appointed heir apparent by the late emperor and then ascended the throne because I have some talent that far exceeds that of my brothers?
No, it's just because I am the eldest son of the emperor.
Now, the eldest son of the late emperor is older than the second prince, not how many years.
They were both born in the same year.
His birthday is at the end of April and the second prince's birthday is at the beginning of May, which is less than half a month apart.
Back then, Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Qi were conceived at the same time, and the imperial doctor even gave the birth date in May.
However, it was Empress Dowager Cao who accidentally fell down and gave birth to the late emperor's eldest son prematurely.
Later, the throne fell to Jinshang.
Just thinking about this matter can make the Qi family grind their teeth into pieces with hatred But what's the use of saying all this, now that I have ascended the throne and become the emperor.
You have to swallow this breath if you don't want to.
Now with the guidance of Mrs.
Qi Guogong, Mrs.
Qi now feels that even if she loses the throne, her daughter and grandson will not have a hard time in the palace with the Empress Dowager taking care of them.
After listening to her niece's words, Mrs.
Qi Guogong smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has been blessed since she was a child, and she is even more blessed to be safe now.
Unlike some people, this is the first time I have heard that the Queen Mother's father has received the title of earl."
Speaking of the Cao family's misfortune, the women of the Qi family felt very happy.
However, neither the Su family nor the Qi family could guess the Empress Dowager's intentions.
As for the Jiang family Well, although the Jiang family is now a family of officials, in the world of the imperial capital, the Jiang family still belongs to a clan of locals.
Even Anian, a highly qualified Qian Tanhua, instantly understood the purpose of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in rewarding the emperor's grandsons from the memorial that Wei Xiangshang sent to the late Emperor's sons to confer kingships on them.
No, it should be said that the Empress Dowager especially gave generous gifts to the Six Emperors' grandchildren.
Maybe the Empress Dowager is interested in this grandson, but, come to think of it, it's true that the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Wei don't have a good relationship. run.
Just for the sake of cashing out.
Run against Wei Xiang, the current prime minister.
The sixth emperor's grandson's biological mother, Wei Tai Zhaoyi, was Wei Xiang's daughter, and the sixth emperor's grandson was Wei's direct grandson.
If Wei Xiang did not understand the intention of the Empress Dowager, then in the future, the Empress Dowager would continue to give generous gifts to the Six Emperors' grandchildren to remind everyone of their origins.
The maternal clans of the emperors and grandsons were not prominent, but Wei Tai Zhaoyi came from the famous Wei family, and her father was the chief minister of the dynasty.
The Empress Dowager rewarded the grandsons of the six emperors in order to highlight the grandsons of the six emperors, and to highlight the grandsons of the six emperors was to remind those who were discerning that Wei Xiang was not only the first assistant, but also a relative.
If Wei Xiang does not react, after the Empress Dowager treats the Sixth Emperor's grandson in a different light time and time again, even if His Majesty the Emperor, who is not personally in charge of the government, will not think too much about it, there will be many people who want to replace Wei Xiang.
I think it will remind His Majesty the Emperor, who is not personally in charge of the government, that your chief minister has a natural political tendency by blood.
As the chief minister of the dynasty, Wei Xiang has been a politician for many years, so his understanding is naturally not bad.
Prime Minister Wei's response was also very good.
After the first emperor's filial piety period came out of the first emperor's filial piety period, the former emperor's disciples could be granted vassal status first.
This is the cleverness of Prime Minister Wei.
It is self-evident that a grandson who ranks sixth among the former emperor's sons is more important, or the position of first assistant is more important.
Wei Xiang's counterattack was very beautiful.
He not only showed his loyalty to His Majesty, but also gave the Empress Dowager a good counterattack.
But this small reward to the emperors and grandchildren actually has so many profound meanings.
One can imagine the shock in Ah Nian's heart.
When he went back that night, he had a quarrel with Sister Zijin.
He Zijin felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge in both of his lifetimes, and asked Anian, "Do you think the Empress Dowager would agree to the late Emperor's sons becoming kings and vassals?"
Ah Nian thought for a while, "It's hard to say.
If the Empress Dowager agrees, doesn't it mean that Wei Xiang won this game?
I think the Empress Dowager is not someone who gives up easily."
A Nian asked Sister Zijin's opinion, "What do you think?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He Zijin thought for a moment and then said, "I don't think the Queen Mother will agree."
"Doesn't that mean that Wei Xiang has the upper hand?"
Regardless of their status, just looking at the two of them, they are both mature politicians.
In the competition between the two politicians, A Nian did not think that the Empress Dowager would be inferior to Wei Xiang.
He Zijin said, "I don't quite understand these means but not the means and the upper hand.
These days, I know a little bit about the Empress Dowager.
Let's just say that the Empress Dowager has nothing to do with the emperor's grandson and granddaughter.
To describe it as a means is not biased enough.
A grandmother is very clear about her grandchildren's homework habits.
This is not just for show, but there is also affection in it.
In terms of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, which grandmother would want her grandchildren.
Stay away from yourself" He Zijin asked A Nian suspiciously, "Are you men thinking too much?
Isn't it just a history book annotated by Emperor Tai\zu?
As for that, maybe the Empress Dowager didn't mean this at all.
It's all your imagination. , I’m at fault.”
Anian said, "Things about rights are never simple.
I will never be wrong about this matter."
He Zijin smiled, "Why don't you make a bet?"
"What to bet on" "I bet on whether the Empress Dowager will let her grandson stay in the imperial capital."
"Cheng" Ah Nian was quite confident in his political vision and said, "If I win, I don't need to do anything from my sister, just do what I do."
"Sun Tzu said that before you think about victory, think about defeat first.
You are too confident."
"Our family is all confident."
A Nian looked confident, and He Zijin finally found the root of the twins' mysterious self-confidence.
He Zijin looked at him and smiled.
Ah Nian can guess here that in the officialdom of the imperial capital, anyone with enough brains will basically think of this.
Everyone was waiting to see how the Queen Mother would respond.
Once again, the Queen Mother surprised everyone.
She refused, and she refused directly, without any room for change.
The Queen Mother's original words were, "It's ordinary."
There are still three years of filial piety in the common people's family.
As the emperor, the emperor can replace the sun with the moon, but I think the emperor now also wears plain purses to show his filial piety.
It's the same filial piety.
If the father's filial piety is still there, we should let them be crowned kings and become feudal lords.
From now on, they will not be able to offer sacrifices in front of their father's mausoleum.
At such a young age, the emperor has not yet taken charge of the government.
Whether as the empress dowager or as a grandmother, I will not let you give up your intention to make the king a vassal now."
The Queen Mother's reaction made many people wonder whether they had misunderstood the Queen Mother.
An Nian had to ask Sister Zijin for advice, "How could my sister guess so accurately?"
"As I said before, don't focus on the means alone.
If you only talk about means, it would be too biased."
A Nian was still puzzled, "Then what does the Empress Dowager mean by this move?"
The author has something to say: s: Good night, I will write about the origins and situations of the emperors and grandsons gd1806102:
