Vol 2 Chapter 403: King of the River

Regardless of whether Xiao Qiao himself was willing to leave Lei's house, under Ren Yaohua's orders, the people below did things very quickly. Before noon, Liu Gui's family went to the Zhengyuan to report that Xiao Qiao's things had been packed. When Xiao Qiao rushed over, there was nothing, so there was nothing to clean up except to pack all the things in her house.
Ren Yaohua just nodded and faintly replied: "When you are done, let's set off. I will not go out."
Ren Yaohua was practicing calligraphy with Lei Pan'er in the study. When Liu Gui's family and Ren Yaohua reported the report, Lei Pan'er had been sneaking around here behind the book case not far away, but until Ren Yaohua finished replying to Liu Gui's, Lei Pan None of them interrupted.
Ren Yaohua waited for Liu Gui's home to go out and turned back to the bookcase, and looked down at the words written by Lei Pan'er: "Well, there is progress. Take a break and write some snacks."
Lei Pan'er received the praise and immediately raised a smile at her, put down the pen, and obediently asked the little maid waiting by the side to clean her hands with water.
Ren Yaohua took her to sit at the table, picked a piece of honey cake from the small snacks on the table and put it on the plate in front of her.
"Thank you, mother." Lei Pan'er picked up a small spoon to dig out the pastry to eat.
Although Lei Pan'er behaved very well, Ren Yaohua found that she was quieter than usual today. She likes to chat non-stop even when she uses snacks. Ren Yaohua didn't click on it, just watched her eat a snack.
After taking a few bites, Lei Pan'er put down the small spoon in his hand and sat there, bowing his fingers.
"Stop eating? Are you going to play in the garden?" Ren Yaohua wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her and asked.
Lei Pan'er shook his head, looked at Ren Yaohua and stopped talking.
Ren Yaohua looked at her without asking or urging.
Lei Pan'er finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, is my aunt leaving?"
"No, I went to live in Zhuangzi. Pan'er couldn't bear to leave the house?"
Lei Pan'er thought for a while and asked with a serious face: "Is the food served at Zhuangzi? Is there anyone to take care of it? Can someone take care of it if I am sick?"
Ren Yaohua nodded: "Well. The several maids who had served her aunt before will serve as in the past, and the cost of eating and wearing is the same as in the house. If you are sick, you will take care of the doctor again. If you are not at ease... "Ren Yaohua pondered for a moment, "Why don't you send your own personal maid to see her aunt, let the maid follow her, and report to you when she comes back?" Two of Lei Pan'er's personal maid has been serving her for several years, Ren Yaohua is here There were no substitutions after that.
After Lei Pan'er listened, she thought about it again, and then nodded: "Okay, by the way, take a look at the nurse."
Lei Pan'er has a good memory, and she still remembers that his nanny was sent to Zhuangzi.
"Pan'er is going to see her aunt?" Ren Yaohua thought.
Lei Pan'er shook his head: "I heard that my aunt had a bad experience before coming to our house. Just know that she can live well in the future."
Lei Pan'er matures prematurely, and she understands a lot of truths that don't require others to hear her face and face. What is rare is that she is also reasonable and will not make trouble unreasonably.
Ren Yaohua touched her head, called her maid over and gave a few words, and then let her go.
Next, Lei Pan'er seemed to put aside Xiao Qiao's affairs, and didn't mention her anymore, playing when it was time to play, and eating it when it was time to eat.
When Xiao Qiao saw Lei Pan'er's personal maid, Hua Die'er, his face immediately paled when he learned that Lei Pan'er was not going to say goodbye to her, and he didn't even remember to break away when he was supported on the carriage.
Xiao Qiao's departure seemed to be a trivial matter to the Lei family. However, a major event happened the day after Xiao Qiao's departure.
After leaving Yanbei, the general King Xian finally appeared in front of the world again. King Xian appeared in the Hezhong Mansion and stayed in the Hezhong Wang Mansion on the day he appeared.
On the second day, King Xian announced to the world an edict of the first emperor.
The completion time of this edict was after the original imperial edict of abolishing the king. The first emperor stated in his will that he pardoned the sins of the King Xian's family and made the King Xian the king of the river, and the Hezhong Mansion was the fief of the king. And within five years after King Xian officially accepted the title of King of Hezhong, King Xian and his direct descendants were not allowed to leave Hezhong.
As soon as this edict was published, the entire Zhou Dynasty was shocked.
Of course some people would doubt the authenticity of the will in King Xian's hand. If the will is true, why didn't Xian Wang take it out early?
After King Xian published his will, he rubbed a copy of it on the notice board beside the city gate in the river. It didn't take long for many people to get the rubbed version of this edict. After countless people appraised it, the handwriting of this edict came from the hand of the late scholar Pei Xun, and the seal of "Treasure of Fengtian" on the edict is undoubtedly the emperor's seal.
Although Pei Xun has passed away, he has left a lot of calligraphy, and it is not difficult to identify the handwriting. The Pei family is the head of today’s scholastics. The children of the Pei family are officials in the court. The Zhou Dynasty comes from the head of the six ministries of Pei’s surname. There are several ministers in the cabinet. The Pei family can be described as a "tumbler" in the bureaucratic family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. , No one replied that Pei Xun would collude with Concubine Wan and King Xian.
So when the edict was published, the people who suspected that the edict was fake were silent.
As for the most talked about in the edict, it was the secret of the secret that one could not help but think about "Within five years, the king and his descendants are not allowed to leave the river."
The princes of successive dynasties were not allowed to leave the fief without permission, let alone enter the capital without permission, but as long as the emperor gave an order to be summoned, no matter how far away, the princes would go to Kyoto to show the emperor. This edict of the first emperor is good. Within five years, the lineages of the royal palace are not allowed to leave the river, that is, even if the emperor has made the decree to declare the king or offer the king’s son to Beijing, they can ignore it, just as the emperor let it go. Fart. No matter how old the emperor is, he is no bigger than the emperor's relative father. Of course, this relative father must be dead, and the living one may not have this face yet.
The Queen Mother and Yan Family didn't know how angry and suffocated they were after they learned. The Li family in Yanbei cried again after they learned about it. Ren Yaoqi was finally relieved.
Five years are neither long nor short, but it is the most suitable development time for Xian Wangfu. With the foundation left by the royal mansion, as long as they have passed these five years smoothly, it will not be so easy for the imperial court to make a manual dedication to the royal mansion in the future. I have to say that Wan Guifei's methods are really not comparable to ordinary people.
However, Ren Yaoqi was still very surprised that the edict had a relationship with the Pei family. When he was with Mr. Pei, although Mr. Pei had mentioned Concubine Wan, he only said a few words, but it was out of a man's appreciation and regret for the peerless beauty.
Ren Yaoqi had never heard of any involvement between the Pei family and Wan Guifei's King Xian Wang, and Pei Zhiyan had never mentioned King Xian before Ren Yaoqi. Of course, if both parties are involved, the credibility of this edict will be much lower.
But Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but worry about Pei Zhiyan's current situation. Although based on the foundation of the Pei family, it is still difficult for the imperial court to move the Pei family in a short period of time. It also needs to take care of the public, but it is easy to put on some small shoes for the Pei family. Among the family of Pei who are officials in the imperial court, the highest official position is Pei Zhiyan's uncle Pei Ji, official Zhizheng second-grade ritual minister, cabinet minister, and third in the cabinet. Pei Zhiyan is now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and his official position is only the fifth grade, but he is an emperor, and he will replace Pei Ji in the future. Rather than starting Pei Ji, the court is more willing to move Pei Zhiyan.
Regarding the court affairs, even if Ren Yaoqi was worried, it was of no avail.
Although there are more people who believe in the edict of the first emperor than people who doubt it, people who hold a wait-and-see attitude account for the vast majority. After all, what the real strength of Xian Wangfu was, no one knew. No one is a fool, and he would be willing to make the court unhappy for a newly released vassal with an unstable foundation and an unknown future.
In this case, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion was the first to extend an olive branch to the King of Hezhong. Although it only sent some gifts to the King of Hezhong, it represented that Yanbei was willing to recognize the King of Hezhong.
The Yanbei Palace was moved, and due to various interest considerations, other forces also moved. With the rise of Xianwangfu, the political structure of the entire Zhou Dynasty will change. Many people have already smelled the unusual political trend between Xianwangfu and Yanbei Wangfu.
In this atmosphere, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, proposed marriage to the fifth Miss Ren Yaoqi.
As soon as the news came out, people outside of Yanzhou might not be able to react, how sacred is this fifth lady of the Ren family. But soon the world knew that Ren Yaoqi, the fifth lady of the Ren family, was the granddaughter of the original King Xian and the granddaughter of King Xianhe, and the second daughter of Princess Jiayi, the first daughter of King Xian.
At the beginning, King Xian was demoted to the common people and sent to Yanbei, and the titles from King Xian to Shizi were all taken away. Princess Jiayi was forced to marry as a merchant woman. Now the emperor Xian's will pardons King Xian, the upper and lower titles of King Xian's Mansion have been returned, and the title of Princess Jiayi has returned.
Perhaps some people think that the status of the merchant’s daughter is not worthy of the second son of the Yanbei Prince’s Mansion. After all, although Xiao Jingxi’s health is not good, after Xiao Jingkang’s death, he is most likely to succeed the Yanbei’s son. Almost, if you marry your granddaughter, you are still separated by a floor.
But the king of Hezhong had only one son and a daughter. The son of the king of Hezhong had been married for less than a year and had no children. Only the youngest daughter of the son of the king of Hezhong was suitable for marriage. Fortunately, the title of Princess Jiayi is back. No matter how the Li family is rooted in the golden branches and leaves, the royal blood.
