Chapter 509: The Sixty-One of the Imperial Capital


Chapter 509 Ah Nian already knew what was going on in the court.

His brother-in-law told him when he came over.

Ah Nian was normal and said, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

No one can do what your Majesty wants.

Let's be ourselves."

That’s enough.”

Ah Lie said, "I really don't know if your majesty is filial.

If we talk about filial piety, should we only be filial to our biological mother?

Where would we put the empress dowager and the empress dowager?

In the years when your majesty first came to the throne, the empress dowager and the cabinet were in charge of government affairs.

We Even though I have a small official position, I have always read a few history books.

Without the checks and balances between the Empress Dowager and the cabinet, how could His Majesty's personal administration be so smooth?

In terms of his achievements in the royal family and his status in the royal family, how could the Empress Dowager not be stronger than Her Majesty the Empress Dowager Cao who ignored the wishes of the Empress Dowager and only considered the closeness of blood?

It’s really heartbreaking.”

In the past, many people were only dissatisfied with the Cao family.

Nowadays, many people in the court, like A Lie, who have low official positions, are dissatisfied with what His Majesty the Emperor has done to his mother's family since he took charge.

Hearing Ah Lie's words, Ah Nian immediately understood that in the past, His Majesty did not personally take charge of the government, and government affairs were handled by the Empress Dowager and the Cabinet.

Therefore, whenever something happened, everyone was accustomed to look at the response of Ci'en Palace and the Cabinet.

Therefore, His Majesty is young and wild, and has no restraint on women.

But as A Nian often said, he is a young man after all.

What's more, the biggest instigator of the incident between the young emperor and Cao's daughter is the Empress Dowager Cao.

All of this gives people countless excuses for His Majesty who is not in charge of the government personally.

But things are different now.

His Majesty has taken charge of the government personally, and every government order comes from His Majesty's mouth.

If there is something wrong with the government order, it will naturally be His Majesty's responsibility.

Idiots just don't care about things.

This kind of management simply exposes their IQ.

A Nian has long since given up on the little emperor.

In terms of A Nian's understanding of family affection, they are completely opposite to the little emperor.

The little emperor is really heartbroken towards his mother, and he doesn't know when the world will change.

This stupid mother and son must be the cause of trouble.

A Nian was completely different.

A Nian was even colder to his biological father and mother than a passerby.

As for the relationship with the little emperor, what kind of relationship could A Nian have with the little emperor.

What A-Nian only cares about is the late emperor's face, and A-Nian's conscience as a minister and a scholar.

However, if a person wants to die, it is difficult for gods to save him.

As early as when Liu's daughter went to the nunnery to pray for blessings and the young emperor insisted on keeping Cao's daughter by his side, A-Nian had completely given up on the young emperor.

Now hearing what Ah Lie said, Ah Nian said, "Your Majesty is so close to the maternal family.

Even if the restoration of the Cao family fails, Wei Xiang may not be able to stop it the second time or the third time.

The Cao family will definitely be arrogant for a while.

You all be careful.

Well, scoundrels like the Cao family won't last long.

"The late emperor arranged three places for his eldest son to rely on before his death.

The young emperor defended his biological mother in this way and violated the empress dowager.

He was not the only grandson of the empress dowager.

As for the Liu family, the Liu family's daughters all went to the nunnery, but the Liu family has always been there.

There was no movement, which was not a good sign.

Despite the fact that the little emperor is in charge, A Nian is not optimistic about the imperial party at all.

Even Prime Minister Wei, when he and Ci'en Palace were in charge of the government, they were all overpowered by Ci'en Palace.

Even now that Ci'en Palace has been relegated to the harem, His Majesty is in charge, and the power of the cabinet has not been shaken.

However, does this mean that the cabinet can control the government?

Game?

In fact, with Wei Xiangyi as the first assistant, isn’t it true that even the Cao family has nothing to do?

Although A Nian was not in the court, I don't know why, or maybe it was because he was not in the court, but he could see it more clearly than ever.

Not only did A-Nian tell A-Nian to be careful, but Sister Zijin came to the palace to teach the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun their lessons.

In addition to sending them off in person, A-Nian also gave them numerous warnings and instructions.

He Zijin said, "Don't worry, there is the Empress Dowager in the palace."

He Zijin has always been generous, but unfortunately he was fooled by Ah Nian's words.

He Zijin had finished teaching the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun the lessons of the day.

When she was leaving the palace, she met a palace man with two chamberlains who stopped her halfway and invited her to Shoukang Palace.

It was said that Empress Dowager Cao had asked her to come and speak. .

Where did He Zijin want to go?

He Zijin said, "I'm going to Ci'en Palace now, and I'll go to Shoukang Palace later."

The palace man smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is having a meal at this time.

How about you go to Shoukang Palace with me first, and then go to Ci'en Palace."

He Zijin said, "The messenger from Ci'en Palace really doesn't dare to delay."

The palace man turned cold and shouted, "Is Mr.

He going to disobey the Queen Mother's decree?"

He Zijin also gave a cold look, "Don't use chicken feathers as arrows.

As soon as you say Yizhi, take it out and show it to me.

I don't recognize you, let alone whether you are from Shoukang Palace.

Who knows whether you are lying."

The meticulous work of the people of Shoukang Palace deliberately ruined the reputation of Shoukang Palace."

That palace man is a smart person even if he can be sent out to do things.

However, no matter how smart he is in the palace, he is still smart within the rules.

He Zijin is not stupid.

Her family A Nian slapped Queen Mother Cao and her father hard in the face.

Queen Mother Cao went to find her.

Even if she was given two slaps, she would be in vain.

She made up her mind not to go anyway.

The palace man winked at the two chamberlains and said, "He Gongren, please come and sit in Shoukang Palace."

He must use force.

He Zijin said that this palace lady is also mentally ill.

Who is she?

Of course, she is a fourth-grade Gongren, everyone knows this.

However, He Zijin was also pointed out by the Empress Dowager to the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun as Mr.

Wu.

Some people may think that her Mr.

Wu is very knowledgeable, but in fact, He Zijin really knows how to do it.

Martial arts, and although He Gongren's martial arts is far from the level of Marquis Jiang who can kill an enemy with one sword, it is more than enough to bring down a palace servant and two chamberlains.

He Zijin didn't take action.

She was worried that doing so would give others clues, so she simply picked up her skirt and ran away.

He Zijin is a person who practices bodybuilding all year round.

She has been practicing boxing every morning since she was five years old in her thirties, rain or shine.

Now the two of them, A-Nian, walked in the morning and occasionally climbed mountains.

Their bodies were well-trained, not to mention the palace people.

They were thrown far away after just a few steps.

The two young eunuchs had been training in the palace for many years.

However, most of their training was on how to serve others.

Running fast and long distances like this, all four legs combined could not catch up with He Zijin.

If there was an 800-meter running event at this time, He Zijin would definitely get full marks.

She ran to Ci'en Palace in one breath.

The two young chamberlains chased her to the vicinity of Ci'en Palace and did not dare to pursue her anymore.

He Zijin often went in and out of Ci'en Palace.

It was easy for her to get in.

The Empress Dowager was having lunch, but the palace servants did not let her in immediately.

Instead, they led her to a side hall and gave her a lunch of four dishes and one soup. , He Zijin quickly stood up and thanked him.

The palace attendants in Ci'en Palace all have a distinctive calmness.

This palace attendant's surname is Ji.

I heard that he was the one who served Nanny Ji in the past.

Later, when Nanny Ji left the palace, the palace attendant Ji stayed in the palace.

The person from Ji Palace said, "Your Majesty, please eat first.

If the Empress Dowager calls you later, I will come over and talk to you."

He Zijin said, "Sorry to trouble my sister."

Ji Gongren smiled and said, "My lord, you are so polite.

Grandma treats me like mother and daughter."

He turned around and left without saying another word.

The people of Ji Palace waited for an opportunity to tell the whole story of He Zijin's incident to Aunt Ziteng, the female official next to the Queen Mother.

Ziteng said that she knew the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother heard that He Gongren was a ghost.

The man who escaped from Shoukang Palace and ran to Ci'en Palace smiled slightly and said, "He Gongren can run quite fast."

Zi Teng smiled and said, "Earl Jiang has also said in the past that He Gongren is full of spirit.

Although he is not a first-class martial artist, he is still someone who has touched the threshold of martial arts."

The Queen Mother turned over a page of the book and asked, "Has He Gongren had lunch?"

Zi Teng said, "Xiao Ji took a portion of the meal and gave it to He Gongren.

It has been used up now."

"Then let her come over and talk."

The Empress Dowager has always been kind to others.

Of course, this must be someone who can catch the eye of the Empress Dowager.

He Zijin bowed and the Empress Dowager pointed to a chair at hand and said, "Sit down and talk."

He Zijin went over to sit down and was thinking about how to speak.

The Empress Dowager already said, "When people outside look at the royal family, they often think it is foggy and unattainable.

In fact, there is not much difference between the royal family and ordinary people's homes outside.

There are wise people, sages, and fools.

Look at the royal family, it's the same.

Those who are stupid will only become more stupid due to exposure to power."

He Zijin almost didn't laugh, she said quickly, "It's lucky that we have the Empress Dowager, otherwise, people like us really don't know what to do."

The Empress Dowager said, "It's good that you are so clever.

Those with long hands and long legs have been dealt with by the Department of Punishment.

If you have any classes in the future, come to the small school ground behind my palace, where Although it is a little smaller, it is well-equipped.

I use it in the morning and evening and don’t use it on weekdays. ” He Zijin was very grateful and said, "It's all because of me that the queen is so worried."

The Empress Dowager corrected her sternly, "It's because you are worth worrying about."

He Zijin truly believed that many heartfelt words were actually not heroic words.

Although she still felt that she had benefited from A Nian's life experience, she was full of gratitude to the Empress Dowager.

After He Zijin left the palace, A Nian was waiting outside by the car.

When he saw Sister Zijin, he quickly walked over, took Sister Zijin's hand and asked, "I didn't say I would come out at noon, why are you here now?"

"Son, something happened" "No, I'm fine."

When the two of them got into the car, He Zijin told A-Nian about the Empress Dowager Cao who intercepted her.

He Zijin said, "I'm not stupid.

The Empress Dowager Cao must have bad intentions." , I hurriedly went to the Empress Dowager."

I also told Anian about the Empress Dowager's treatment of the servants in the Empress Dowager Cao's palace.

A Nian gritted his teeth, "This woman who can kill a thousand swords" hated Empress Dowager Cao so much.

If it weren't for the fact that the Jiang family didn't have much power, Anian would have wanted to go into battle himself and kill Queen Mother Cao.

He Zijin comforted him and said, "Why are you so angry?

The Empress Dowager has said that she will teach the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun martial arts in Ci'en Palace from now on.

I think the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cao are completely at odds.

But No matter how arrogant the Empress Dowager Cao is, the Empress Dowager has the final say on all matters in the palace.

Even the people around the Empress Dowager Cao can be dealt with by the Empress Dowager with just one word. " A Nian sighed, "Thankfully I still have the Queen Mother."

Fortunately, the twins were quite successful in the next scholar examination, so A-Nian temporarily put aside the issue of how to quietly kill the queen mother of a country.

As Chief Xu Shan said, it is promising to be a scholar, but it is more difficult to be a junior student.

This is the case for the twins.

They passed the scholar examination, but unfortunately they were not ranked among the junior students.

Ah Nian was a little regretful.

He Zijin didn't care whether he was born in the middle age or not.

The main reason for the middle age students was that he could get six buckets of rice every month.

Now there was no shortage of rice at home.

The main thing was that the twins were now little scholars.

How glorious, they are only fourteen years old.

You must know that the twins were born in winter.

They say they are fourteen years old, but in fact they are still half a year shy of fourteen years old.

Alas, because Anian has outstanding genes, his three sons are all prodigies in liberal arts.

He Zijin was very happy.

When A Xi came over, he even said to A Xi, "When you were in school, you also had very good grades in the class."

The He family had a day of wine and a banquet for relatives.

Relatives also felt honored and were very happy for the twins.

They all said that the twins had great potential.

The news spread to Wendao Hall.

Although there were so many scholars in Wendao Hall, it would be a shame for Wendao Hall to see a scholar who did not have the title of scholar.

But the key point is that at this age, the twins took the scholar exam for the first time and passed the exam immediately.

Although they are not junior students, it is not an exaggeration to call them "young talents".

Especially Mrs.

Xu, the look in her eyes when she looked at Ayun was so soft.

Master Wu also praised the twins very much, as well as Ayan, who not only had good luck in exams, but also ushered in the dawn of love.

This matter comes from the Wu family.

As mentioned before, the girl from the Wu family has been engaged to marry a cousin of the Cao family since she was a child.

This cousin Cao is said to be a talented and handsome man.

I heard that her father is also serving as a prefect in other places.

Guan'er's family is also from a local wealthy family.

Cousin Cao was a well-rounded man, a hundred times better than his uncle and father-in-law Mrs.

Wu.

To be honest, the temperaments of the two men were not very compatible.

But, how to put it.

After all, the marriage was arranged.

Even though Master Wu didn't like his son-in-law very much, he just kept out of sight and had little contact with him.

Anyway, Cao's son-in-law bought a mansion near Wendao Hall and did not live in Wu's house.

Master Wu could tolerate his son-in-law Cao only for the sake of his daughter.

But unexpectedly, Mr.

Cao did something that made Master Wu intolerable.

It was not that Mr.

Cao was unfaithful to his fiancée by eating flower wine, Mr.

Cao had already had his wife by his side to serve him.

Mrs.

Wu has always had some objections to this, but she would not fall out with her son-in-law because of the marriage.

Master Wu fell out because one day, Mr.

Cao came to his aunt's house and talked to his aunt and uncle with a look of embarrassment about his connection with the Cao family in the imperial capital.

Yes, the Cao family in the imperial capital is the Cao family that everyone thinks of, the natal family of Queen Mother Cao, the Cao family.

Mr.

Cao talked about the origin of the two families with excitement and said, "To put it bluntly, our ancestors were originally from one branch.

Later, because our ancestors moved to Jizhou, Mr.

Cao's branch went to Shaanxi, and the connection was lost." , in fact, our ancestors were originally a family.

The eldest grandson of Cao's family is acquainted with each other, talking about their ancestors, and they are really not outsiders when it comes to kinship.

I have written to my father.

My father is about to expire this year and will come to the imperial capital to report on his duties.

If I can meet him in Shaanxi.

It is also a happy event for the Cao family to renew their clan."

Mr.

Cao's face was full of joy, his lips were slightly raised, and his jade-like face was full of energy.

Master Wu was furious when he heard this.

He slammed the wine cup in his hand, pointed at Mr.

Cao and cursed, and said angrily, "Okay You are an ignorant boy, your family is considered innocent, why would you want to cling to that kind of nepotistic and flattering family, just because your ancestors have a good reputation, right?"

Mrs.

Wu's temperament is also not popular with others.

If you have something to say, your son-in-law and nephew has done something wrong.

You just need to explain it to him in detail.

Why are you so angry?

Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Cao was well behaved.

He respected him as an elder, and because his aunt personally advised him, he just left with a very ugly face.

Master Wu also said harshly, "If your family joins that shameless family, our families will be cut off completely.

If we no longer have any contact with each other, the marriage between you and Ah Jing will be over.

I will never marry my daughter to a clinging family." villain" Mr.

Cao was so angry that his face turned blue.

He lost his temper when he got home and scolded his uncle for most of an hour before he calmed down.

He said to himself, who are you?

, although my cousin is beautiful, she doesn’t have to be my cousin.

Mr.

Cao added to Mrs.

Wu's words and wrote a letter to his servant to send home.

Mr.

Wu also wrote a letter to his brother-in-law, directly saying that if your family marries with the natal family of Empress Dowager Cao in the imperial capital, our two families will be severed and the marriage will be terminated.

No need to mention it again.

Anyway, Master Wu wrote to Uncle Cao what he scolded Mr.

Cao.

One can imagine the reaction of the Cao family after receiving these two letters.

Master Wu failed in the imperial examination, and the Cao family felt that they had made a mistake in marrying their daughter.

It was because the two families were really related, and because of Mrs.

Wu's reputation, Uncle Cao felt sorry for his niece, so he thought of continuing the marriage.

In fact, due to the increasing decline of the Wu family, Mrs.

Cao was no longer happy with this marriage.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Uncle Cao is also very angry.

How could Mrs.

Cao not take the opportunity to stir up trouble?

Mrs.

Cao was playing hard in Uncle Cao's ear, and Ayan did not miss this golden opportunity.

After the twins were selected as scholars, they were considered to have graduated from the official school.

Because they were younger and had average rankings, the official school gave each of them a reward of fifty taels of silver.

The twins got money and now had fame, so they moved to live with their parents very proudly, so that they could have a daughter-in-law nearby.

Originally, this was an internal matter of the Wu family.

How could ordinary people know about it?

It was because Ayan was fine after becoming a scholar.

He was still evil and often went to the Wu family.

Master Wu was fond of wine.

After drinking wine, he would not be able to talk at all and would talk about everything.

When Ah Yan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

He first persuaded Master Wu hypocritically, "Uncle Wu, you are just like my father, you are too upright.

In this world, upright people are no longer popular.

You are full of good intentions.

Others only think that you are standing in the way of Qingyun."

Although Master Wu is a bit arrogant, he is not a fool.

On the contrary, Master Wu is very talented.

In this regard, even Anian can't compare to him.

Master Wu saw through Ayan's treacherous idea at a glance.

He poured himself a glass of fine wine, glanced at Ayan sideways and said, "I don't know this yet.

You kid should stop saying so many pretentious words.

You might be able to steal something in your belly."

Have fun."

I thought he didn't see it, this guy didn't have any good intentions.

Ah Yan is so thick-skinned.

Not only did he not feel embarrassed at all, he also took the opportunity to promote himself.

He went over to slap Master Wu and said, "Why am I secretly having fun?

I'm afraid that Uncle Wu will make you angry.

I Dad is just like you.

Why did my dad quit his job?

Do you know it was because of that?

My father really couldn’t stand the things that the Cao family did.

Who was given to him at that time?

It was the man named Cao Bin who was the former Duke of Chengen.

My father was not ashamed of what his family did. , I gave him a big slap in the mouth.

My father quit his job because of this, so I said, you two are so similar."

When Master Wu heard this, he was stunned.

He slowly took a sip of wine and said, "Your father doesn't seem to have such a temperament."

"Those who look energetic may not be able to do such cheerful things as my father," Ayan said.

"My father usually seems to be easy to talk to and has a good temper, but if he encounters something that he can't see, he will Even if you don’t do anything to the officials, you still have to speak out.”

Master Wu slapped his thigh, raised his head, finished the wine, put down the wine cup, and said, "Originally, I didn't really like your naughty boy, but I didn't expect your father to be such a person.

In this way, I can be more careful."

Think about it."

Ayan was overjoyed, but he was self-taught and said, "You don't have to worry now.

My family has offended the Cao family a lot.

My father now has less contact with his former colleagues." , just afraid that something might happen to my family It has hurt my friends.

Ayun and I have not decided to get married at the moment, and we have to wait until our family is settled.

Otherwise, if something happens, it is not that we are all afraid of being implicated.

It really hurts our in-laws, and we will feel bad. " "What kind of bullshit is this?

I'm afraid of getting involved, so I might as well break up with your father."

Of course, Master Wu would not rashly promise his daughter to A-Nian right away.

After all, her daughter is still married to her brother-in-law’s family.

However, Master Wu is by no means a fickle villain.

In the past, he would not know the reason for A-Nian’s dismissal from office.

He has a good relationship with Ah Nian, and now that he knows about it, he often goes to Jiang's house to drink, not afraid that something will happen to Jiang's house that will implicate him.

Master Wu also said, "I am just a mad scholar, but Brother Jiang can be called a famous scholar.

I am not as good as Brother Jiang."

People who used to call Anian by his first name now call him brother.

Ayan just added, "How about we talk about marriage, father-in-law?"

However, although he knew that now was not a good time to talk about marriage, seeing how useful it was to seduce his father, Ayan was now working hard to please his father.

The most obvious manifestation is that the snacks bought for his father have been changed from ordinary packaging to high-quality packaging.

The author has something to say: s: It’s already midnight if you’re not careful.

The second update is here.
