Before the obituary of King Cheng reached Gu ’s family, the Yangs were receiving their mother-in-law, Mrs. Hu, in the government. Although the relationship between them was normal before they left the cabinet, the relationship between Hu ’s family and Gu ’s family had always been good. In the intercourse, it also gave birth to a little affection. Coupled with the good feelings of their children, after Hu's marriage to Gu's family, Yang treated her like a daughter, but let Mrs. Hu become a mother, and she feels better and better for Gu's family.
This time helping the royal family to run, she hesitated to think for a long time. If it was not for the queen mother to call her into the palace several times, she really did not want to nod her head.
Gu knows how expensive her daughter is. She eats, lives, and travels like men, sometimes even more so than raising children. Now the royal family wants to marry their daughters into the palace to be the queen. This ... No matter how good the emperor, do you have to have three houses and six houses? Gu family loves children so much, really willing to let the children suffer such grievances?
But the royal family opened this mouth, even if the Gu family is no longer willing, it must be considered carefully. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I came to be a wicked person this time, so Mrs. Hu had been sitting at Gu's house for half an hour, and did not say what she meant.
"My mother-in-law, I came here this time, and I was actually trusted by others." Seeing the time passing by, Mrs. Hu had to open her mouth daringly.
"You and I have been friends for two years. What can't you say?" Yang's wife had long seen that Mrs. Hu had something in mind. When she saw the other person kept saying nothing, she didn't ask.
"This ..." Mrs. Hu picked up the tea cup and drank tea, hesitantly said: "Long for a long time, will you be close next year?"
Yang's heart was secretly curious. Did Yang Guogong's family not give up yet, and let her family member come over to help them say good things? Despite the doubts in his heart, Yang Shi smiled on his face, "That's not the case. Recently, I'm keeping her at home to learn the way of the director."
"Your family's son-in-law is smart and clever. These trivial things will definitely be learned in a short time. You must not be too harsh," Mrs. Hu said half-jokingly, half-praising Gu Rujiu seriously, seeing Yang smile on his face Yi Zhengnong only said, "It's a pity that my nephew didn't have the chance to marry your girl, otherwise she could kiss and kiss."
"For a long time, the child has been spoiled by her father and I have grown into a naive and temperament, and now he is young. So it is a pity that I can't be married to the son of Yang Guogong's family." Yang's words said. It must be a little sincere. She still appreciates the son of Yang Guogong's family. It should be said that in this capital city, most people with daughters of the right age listed Yang Cuiwen as one of the candidates for son-in-law.
"I think it's because the two juniors have no fate," although Mrs. Hu regretted that Gu's family didn't agree to her mother's elder brother's family to ask for marriage, she didn't feel dissatisfied with Gu's family. The matter of marriage between the children and children should be handled with care. Even her daughter refused several families before marrying Gu. What's more, she is still secretly fortunate that Gu's family did not agree to her last kiss, otherwise, wouldn't the brothers' family offend the royal family.
If it were not for the son who came back from the mission to tell her that Her Majesty had thoughts of the second Gu girl, she did not know the seriousness of the matter.
You, a government official, can grab the emperor's sweetheart, will it be fine in the future? If the royal family is reasoning, it will pass even though it is in the heart; but if it is not reasonable, you must not kill your family, and then rob the woman into the palace? You have to know that in the previous dynasty, the emperor even robbed his younger wife and daughter-in-law. Although they did not have such a thing in this dynasty, who would dare to be sure that it would not happen in the future?
There were a lot of wonderful things in the past. As long as Mrs. Hu thought of these things, she felt terrified.
"I went to the palace a few days ago to see the empress dowager, and the empress dowager spoke highly of the girl in your family," Mrs. Hu took another sip of tea. "I just teased that the empress would hate your girl. My daughter, I know the empress dowager, told me that she really wanted to raise your girl as her own daughter. "
The smile of Yang's face slightly diminished, and he immediately said: "The Queen Mother has been taking care of our girls for a long time, and our whole family is very concerned about the friendship of the Queen Mother."
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Our girl marries in Guifu. It is a blessing for you to take care of her and caring for her mother-in-law like you. Every time we return to our mother's house, we are vigorously praised. It can be seen that the girl is married Not only depends on the husband, but also on the elders. "
"Hu's generous and decent, capable and able to marry her daughter-in-law is the blessing of our family," Yang likes the daughter-in-law of Hu's very much, so he laughed and exclaimed, "It is also a family with strict family style , Teach the children well. "
The two praised each other's children again, Mrs. Hu said: "The husband and wife are in harmony, this is also fate and affection. Look, what if you let the queen mother be your mother-in-law?"
"What do you mean by my mother-in-law?" The smile on Yang's face faded a little, and the tea cup in his hand did not consciously put on the table.
When Mrs. Hu saw her like this, the worries in her heart grew stronger, and she simply said: "The royal family intends to marry your second girl, so let me ask you what your family means."
"Does this mean the Empress Dowager ... or does your majesty mean?" Yang Shi asked for a moment, "Is the Royal determined to marry our girl?"
"The character of the Queen Mother must be clear to you. Without Her Majesty's consent, why would she open this mouth?" Mrs. Hu said, "not to mention this matter, maybe Her Majesty opened the mouth. The Queen Mother asked me to ask. I know this The incident is a bit unexpected for your family, but this is not a bad thing, don't be too ... "
She wanted to say that it was a glory to have a queen out of the family. After all, it was to be named in the history books. But for parents who really love their daughters, a place like the Imperial Palace, even if they are queens, is not the best place to go. What can the history book do? In life, you can't love and live in harmony, but after death, what is the use even if it is passed down through the ages?
Everything is dead, and no matter how good the reputation is, it is just a piece of talk about leaving a posterity.
"My mother-in-law, I can't do it alone. I will talk to him about it when my son returns." Yang's heart was so complicated at the moment, but there was a feeling that she really had to wait until she came to Mrs. Hu. A smile, "I'm not afraid to tell you a joke. Our family has been raised for half a long time since we were young. Although Qishu Painting and Calligraphy barely succeeded, but as the mother of a country ..."
"No one is born to be a queen. It is the queen mother today. I was afraid that I would be a queen at first," said Mrs. Hu. "Since the royal family has this thought, you should think about it, don't ... … "Don't study the family of the Tai / Zu period, because the royal family refused to propose, and finally the whole family fell.
The Yangs knew that Mrs. Hu was telling the truth, but she was really reluctant to let her daughter into the palace.
The two discussed for a while. Mrs. Hu saw that Yang was a little uneasy. After a few words of comfort, she got up and said goodbye.
Gu Changling returned to the backyard, saw his wife sitting in a daze, and her expression was not quite right. She stepped forward and put her hand on her shoulder: "What's wrong with you?"
"You're back?" Yang saw Gu Changling and smiled slightly. He put down his book that he hadn't read in a long time. "Hu's relatives have been here today."
"What did she say that made you look so ugly?" Gu Changling sat down next to her and took her hand. "You and I have been married for many years. Remember to tell me something. Don't hold it alone."
"The Queen Mother and Her Majesty intend to stand up for a long time," Yang sighed. "Although I haven't said it clearly, I have let my mother-in-law come to talk to us."
Gu Changling was a little surprised when he heard this, but he did n’t show much surprise. He gently squeezed Yang ’s hand and warmed his applause to appease Yang ’s emotions.
I ’ve guessed this thought of Your Majesty, However, His Majesty has always been indifferent, and his thoughts have not reached today.
"Since you have known for a long time, why let things continue to develop?" Yang took out his hand and looked at Gu Changling, "Do you have the heart to go to that place for a long time?"
"It's not that I want her to go to that place," Gu Changling was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you remember the dream you had with me a few days before you were born?"
Yang was shocked. Although more than ten years had passed, she still remembered the dream. Such a dream is just strange Lu Li, not to mention that she and Hu Jun actually had the same dream.
In that dream, the Fire Phoenix wept blood, and finally turned into light falling into her belly. Then, the next day Luanhe Palace heard the news of the death of the little princess.
Gu Changling does not believe in ghosts and spirits, so although he thinks this dream is very strange, but only as a day and night dream. It was not until three years ago, when the queen mother summoned her for a long time, she treated her like a daughter. Not only did she often summon her into the palace, but she also prepared a lot of things her daughters could use, but they loved it for a long time.
Fate is something that is invisible and intangible, but it has to be amazing. The Zhou family has two girls of the same age as Jiu Jiu.
"I haven't seen the Empress Dowager since I was born for a long time," Gu Changling smiled bitterly. "It's no longer whether we are willing to let her into the palace, but the royal family wants to marry her."
He didn't want to let his daughter marry in the palace, but who can say this destiny?
Izumo, who was about to leave the capital that day, found him and gave him some advice.
"Dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, and the world is prosperous. Fengfei is crying for blood, Dulong is dying early, and the world is in chaos." Gu Changling whispered, "This is what Izumo lived to me before he left Beijing.
"Don't you always believe in ghosts and spirits?" The Yang family smiled bitterly and said after a long silence. "Well, what's the use of my troubles, can I still refuse royal courtship?"
If they marry other people, if their son-in-law dare to make trouble, their mother-in-law can still support them. But the royal family is not like ordinary people. Even if they want to accept the concubine, their mothers and daughters can't do anything, just let the daughter swallow the grievances.
Gu Changling was silent for a long time: "Let ’s look at the meaning of Jiu Jiu for a long time. If we do n’t want to do it for a long time, we will find a way." Will look at this level of sentiment, not too embarrassing they care about the family.
But before they had time to ask their daughters about the matter, Jinzhou ’s obituary came. Gu Changling, who had just been at home for a short time, hurriedly drove to the palace in a carriage.
Originally, the death of a prince was nothing, and he was buried according to the specifications of the prince. But King Cheng is different. Although he is incompetent and unable to manage his own fiefs, he is the biological father of His Majesty, and he has not yet invited a protagonist. He is dead, does your majesty want to keep filial piety, who will inherit the palace?
According to the rules, His Majesty has been passed to Xian Di, that is Xian Di's child. Then he is a king, King Cheng is a servant, and there is no such thing as a monarch to a filial piety. But according to reason, King Cheng is the biological father of His Majesty. If His Majesty regards him as an ordinary uncle, then he is too cold.
Shou filial piety may lead to the empress dowager. Not observant, and a little unreasonable. So several heavy ministers quarreled in Zichen Hall for this matter.
Jin Yang sat silently behind the court case and listened to the quarrel of several ministers, but his mind was long gone.
His feelings for King Cheng were very complicated. When he was young, he looked forward to it, and later hated and complained. Later, he was selected by his mother as a stepson and became the emperor of Dafeng. Gradually, there was no complaint or expectation. , Naturally there are not many feelings. How much affection can a father who has never cared about him or even seen him see?
On weekdays, he has too many things to learn. The way of running the country, the way of being a king, and the way of being a man are too busy for him to think about the Chengwang Mansion in Jinzhou.
Now the news came suddenly that King Cheng was gone. The man who was his father but never fulfilled his father's responsibilities passed away.
He was a little dazed and empty, with some unspeakable sourness and relaxation.
"Your Majesty, you believe that the legal principle is more humane," Li Guangji said. "You should keep filial piety for King Cheng for one year."
"Absurd, is there any saying in the world that a monarch will be filial for one year?" Sima Hong immediately retorted, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. You are the child of the first emperor and the prince of the world.
"Master Sima, who in the world does not know that sincere king is the biological father of His Majesty, if His Majesty has no sorrow, how does everyone in the world view His Majesty?"
"Master Sima and Li Xiang both make sense," Jin Yang rubbed his forehead. "Master Gu, what do you think of this matter?"
Gu Changling stepped forward and said: "He thought that this is His Majesty's family."
Jin Yang heard the words and said, "Well, Gu Qing said well, this is my family affair." After saying this, he looked at Li Guangji and Sima Hong, "I have thoughts on this matter, please two Adults, do n’t be upset by this. "
Sima Hong looked at Gu Changling, who bowed and stood upright, mockingly said: "Master Gu is good to suggest."
"Thank you, Master Sima, for your praise, and I am ashamed to be guilty." Gu Changling smiled at Sima Hong with a smile.
Sima Hong looked away angrily and stopped looking at Changling.
Li Guangji didn't realize that the dark tide between the two had surged, and said: "Since His Majesty has decided on this matter, the ministers will not say anything more, just the Prince of Cheng ..."
"The two sons of Cheng Wang's mansion have not yet won the crown and can't govern the land of a state. It is better to connect Princess Cheng and the two sons to the capital, and wait for them to be a reward," Jin Yang lowered his eyes and said slowly. "How do you think?"
Zhang Zhonghan, who hadn't spoken very often, saw that the three foxes didn't speak, so the old was standing aside, not commenting on the matter. The emperor's move seemed to care for the family members of Cheng Wang Mansion, but in fact it was intended to take back the land of Jinzhou, so that Prince Cheng would become a nominal royal idler.
Just like the two old monarchs in the capital now, there is no title but no place in the capital. What kind of splash can be made when staying in this place?
It seems to be considerate and thoughtful, but it is invulnerable. This majesty is much smarter than the first emperor.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Gu Changling arched his hands. "Prince Cheng is young, and His Majesty thought so thoughtfully for them.
Both Li Guangji and Sima Hongqi were inwardly, but they both knew that it was better for the court. Unless they both have a rebellious heart, they can't say anything against it.
"In this case, please ask the adults to arrange to meet the family members of Cheng Wang's family." The obituary from Jinzhou on the table of Jin Yang monk lowered his eyelids and said, "After all, he is the heir of Cheng Wang.
Heir of King Cheng?
This word is used ... really polite.
Zhang Zhonghan always likes to think too much, and the more he listens, the more His Majesty's words are a bit wrong. Doesn't this seem to be an elder brother's thought of his brother and sister?
He looked at the expression of His Majesty, but he couldn't see anything. After thinking about it, he stood behind Gu Changling: "His Majesty Sheng Ming, Chen Xi will act seriously."
"Then there will be lovers of labor." After Jin Yang finished speaking, his face was tired, and the four of them saw it and offered to leave in a very interesting way.
Out of the Qiankun Palace, Sima Hong, Gu Changling and Li Guangji squinted at each other with a smile, and then left one after the other, obviously not so satisfied with each other.
Zhang Zhonghan touched his beard, glanced at the three men, and finally walked towards Gu Changling: "Brother Gu, please stay."
"Zhang Xiang," Gu Changling turned back to see Zhang Zhonghan, and smiled back to the courtesy, "But is Zhang Xiang something wrong?"
"Just want to walk around and talk with Master Gu," Zhang Zhonghan smiled and said, "Master Gu is deeply trusted by the emperor, I don't know if you look at this time ..."
"Zhang Xiangduo thought, you and I are both officials of the same dynasty, and your majesty is the same for you and me, as well as Manchu literary and martial arts," Gu Changling knew that Zhang Zhonghan wanted to get some news from himself, so he said directly, "This time Things, big or small, small or small, but you should remember one thing. "
Zhang Zhonghan said: "I would like to hear the details."
"No matter what King Cheng is, it is His Majesty's biological father after all. I have no need to talk about it in this matter. His Majesty has a weighing scale in his heart," Gu Changling paused for a moment, and said in a low tone, "The King Cheng's heirs, although they are young , But it ’s not much different from His Majesty. They need to understand what they want to change, and they ca n’t say what they should n’t do. After all, they are just the children of the Lord, and they are no less honorable than His Majesty.

"Brother Gu made a very reasonable statement, and he thinks so too." Zhang Zhonghan is an old fox, and now he understands Gu Changling's meaning. The two laughed at each other and settled the treatment of Cheng Wang's family after entering Beijing.
As expected, His Majesty wrote the sacrifice for King Cheng on the second day, and said in front of the whole dynasty that he should be filial for King Cheng for seven months.
According to the etiquette of ordinary people, the uncle passed away and his nephew generally kept filial piety for three months. If the parents die, the son Shouxiao will be on the 27th.
The relationship between His Majesty and King Cheng is a bit complicated, but how can a King be like ordinary people?
Shou Xiao July is already impeccable.
At least among the literary population, this move is highly praised, and there are even many literati who wrote poems praising Jin Yang Renxiao.
The emperor wanted to keep his filial piety in July. After that, no one from the Manchu Dynasty would stand up at this time, and he would not let his majesty stand up.
Your majesty and the empress do not rush. Your prince is so anxious that he forgot even his majesty is keeping filial piety. What is the intention?
Who is willing to be a junior among the literary population?
Five months later, the family of King Cheng entered Beijing. In addition to the two sons and two daughters of King Cheng, there were Princess Cheng and two side concubines. The mansion they lived in was already prepared. It was a mansion ruled by the governor of the county. The mansion was very exquisitely built. Anyone who came to see them said that the emperor was kind.
Many people know that when His Majesty was still the eldest son of Cheng Wang Mansion, Princess Cheng did not treat him well, and his brothers and sisters were very self-willed, so life was very difficult. Now that your majesty is the king of the world, instead of remembering the evil deeds of the princess and other people, they have been carefully received by them. How many people can achieve this tolerance and kindness?
After the incident was spread, many people in the capital praised His Majesty for his kindness, and Princess Cheng and others were ill-intentioned, and even took Cheng Cheng's children in the capital. Although everyone was kind and polite to them, there were no gatherings in private, and they never played with the children of the Cheng family, so that the clumsy sons and masters in the past suddenly became at a loss.
Although they are wayward and brainless, they also know that this is the capital city, not Jinzhou, and there is also a brother who they had studied with, who was the emperor. If they did not stay honestly, they were afraid that they would be sad in the future.
Princess Cheng thought more than a few children. What she was most worried about was not that the emperor made their family difficult, but that the emperor kept them in captivity, and gave no title to the title. In your eyes?
The more she thought and the more worried she was, she found a way around, hoping to have someone who could speak in front of the emperor and help them make a few words in front of the emperor. After such inquiries, she knew that the family most trusted by the emperor was Gu's family. Gu Houye was his teacher before the emperor pro-government.
It's a pity that Gu's family style is rigorous. She is a widow's princess. She has no reason to visit the house for no reason, so even if you have this thought, you can't ask anyone.
She thought about it, and after waiting for a while, she finally got a wonderful opportunity.
The second girl of the Gu family held and celebrated the ceremony after January, and all the girls in the capital were invited, and she, Princess Cheng, was naturally invited.
Looking at the invitation in hand, Princess Cheng thought for a long time and said to Aunt Lin, the dowry around her, "Auntie, prepare my set of crystal glasses. When the host of Changyan County and the ceremony, I will use this set of crystal glasses as a gift . "
crystal glass? !
Aunt Lin's face changed slightly, but Quan Dafeng didn't have a few sets of good things, but it was just a second-class family's daughter-in-law.
