When I woke up in the morning, my red eyes looked over.
As a noble concubine and the second most important figure in the palace, Ashinarong really lived a leisurely life. After entering the palace, she moved around a bit and moved into the Anren Hall in the southwest of the Forbidden Garden.
Because there is a very open school ground nearby for the palace people to perform martial arts. Some large-scale singing and dancing, or some other activities, will also be rehearsed here in advance.
Moreover, Anren Hall is the closest palace complex to Ganlu Hall, so it is very suitable for a noble concubine to live here. For example, Li Yuan's favorite concubine Wan Guifei lived here for a period of time.
After Li Wu resigned as the general of Zuo Qianniu Beishen Mansion, Li Po issued an edict to order Concubine Ashina to succeed her. As a concubine, she had the power to confine the palace guards. Although there was no precedent, it was not a shocking move.
In fact, the Left and Right Preparation Mansion had no military power. Its main duty was to guard the gates for the royal family. The main personnel were composed of nobles and nobles, because this was barely a shortcut for promotion.
At the same time, it is also the most popular starting point for official careers for concubines of big families, children who are not valued much at home, or people from wealthy families who are eager to gain fame.
The emperor also likes to use them, because these people are natural supporters of the imperial power, and because most people are not very successful, they are easier to win over.
Of course, if the emperor didn't like these people, there would be many reasons. For example, Yang Guang was very wary of the Bishen Mansion because it was filled with Kansai aristocratic children, and this was also the group that Yang Guang hated the most.
Qianniu Beishen Mansion is the internal guard. Whoever the leader is depends on who the emperor trusts. Foreign ministers rarely comment. For example, Li Yuan uses his own daughter to lead Qianniu Beishen Mansion.
Li Po just went a step further and let the imperial concubine take over the military power. It is unlikely that subsequent dynasties would act like this. However, in a rare open era like the late Sui Dynasty, there were endless new things happening, so there was no need to make a fuss.
When Li Po came to the harem, nine times out of ten he came to Qingning Palace. The emperor and queen were harmonious with music and instruments, which was what the foreign ministers most wanted to see. But the same could not be said for the women in the palace. The husbands sang and the wives followed, and they lived in harmony.
, then wouldn’t their chances be reduced?
If other women were allowed to have Ashinarong's real status and strength, they would definitely cause trouble in the harem. After all, the queen should not be too proud, right?
But Ashnarong is really an anomaly among women. She has a cold and courageous temperament, has firm beliefs and principles of conduct, is not easily swayed by external things, and is especially not interested in power.
The most simple purpose of her coming to Qingning Palace was to see what the emperor was doing, whether he was in a good mood, and whether anyone made him angry. If someone didn't know how to live or die, she didn't mind taking a knife to chop off that person's head and bring it to him.
The husband calmed down.
It was early in the morning, Li Po was in a good mood, and Hongyanyan was in a good mood. He happily had breakfast with Li Po, and Li Po took the opportunity to ask her some things about Qianniu Beishen Mansion.
Li Wu left in a hurry, and he was succeeded by a noble person in the palace, which made the Qianniu Preparations feel uncomfortable. However, the responsibilities of the Qianniu Preparations Mansion were relatively leisurely, and there were many places where rules were followed, so whoever took the lead had a lot to do with it.
Doesn't require too many changes.
Ashina Rong really didn't care much about what her subordinates thought of her. If anything happened, she would give orders and go back to Anren Hall to take care of her daughter. But there was nothing interesting for Li Po to tell her.
Li Po was indeed a little regretful. In his opinion, if Ashina Rong really took over the Qianniu Bei Shen Mansion, why couldn't he defeat a few fools who were self-reliant on their own strength or family background, so that he could be respected by others?
But the reality is that none of these noble disciples are stupid enough to play tricks with the noble concubine in the palace, let alone take action. Under the gaze of those wine-red eyes, everyone works conscientiously, getting up early and staying late, not daring to do anything.
slack off.
Of course, it is unknown what these people think of Concubine Ashina in private, and the surnames of the Turkic royal family have once again appeared in the internal ban. This alone is enough to make people talk about it for several years.
.
Is there anyone who talks nonsense in Beishen Mansion? Look at what you said, there are no such people. Otherwise, there are so many rumors about the royal family circulating in Chang'an, where do you think they came from?
Sure enough, the richer a person is, the more spineless he becomes. Li Po thought boringly, if we were in the Mayi frontier fortress, let alone if our immediate boss became a woman, even if we were a little younger, there would definitely be someone who would want to get you down and try it on his own.
Whether it can be done or not.
I was in a good mood in the morning, and I didn't tell Li Bi anymore about Li Chun, so as not to affect my mood.
Li Chun's marriage has been roughly decided. In fact, as long as Princess Fufeng does not object, the marriage is basically settled, and the rest is a matter of Li Po and Li Bitong's disagreement.
As for who is the consort, well, does that matter?
Princess Shang's process has been simplified to a great extent. After all, the world is still uncertain and wars are still happening everywhere. Li Po does not intend to make big changes that waste people and money.
Moreover, Xu Shiji's family background was not well-off. He could barely be regarded as an official's family. He was rich in the countryside and the leader of a poor family?
Therefore, Li Chun was completely married. The arrangements for the marriage had almost nothing to do with Xu Shiji and his family. It was all handled by the royal family.
Xu Shiji was actually not idle during this period. In troubled times, military merit was particularly important. In just one or two years, Xu Shiji was already considered to be among the top group of generals in the Wei Mansion.
Those colleagues back then, such as Cheng Zhijie, Wei Zheng, Zhang Liang and others, were further and further behind him. Now if he marries the eldest princess, he will really be a winner in life, and at the same time, his career will be opened up for him.
A new door.
Zhang Shigui, who returned to Beijing to report on his work in the winter, was dumbfounded by his actions. After thinking about it, he wanted to break up with this guy. His ability to work in a camp was really the envy of others.
Xu Shiji himself was also a little dizzy, and at the same time he was very proud. After returning to Beijing, he came to find his old master Yuen Long. This move was a stroke of genius, but he was quite ashamed that he seemed to have tricked his old master...
Needless to say, Xu Shiji was clever and clever. Once he knew that the emperor seemed unhappy, he stopped showing off and just concentrated on handling military affairs.
He had just become the general of the Wei government, and many things were waiting for him. It was not just an act, and he also brought his family from Hongnong to Chang'an.
His family has a relatively simple population. Both parents are present. His two sisters, his brother-in-law, and his two brothers are all married.
His father was a commoner, and his only brother-in-law was a member of the Langya Wang family and served as a county magistrate. Judging from these, Xu Shiji's family background was very poor, and there was only a little bit left over from his ancestors.
But you can't help but admire me. Henan and Shandong are now completely white, but Xu Shiji's family members are still alive. When Xu Shiji's official career was smooth sailing, they all came to him immediately. You say it's magical or not.
Taking care of the whole family in this way is considered unmanly by many people in the world... A man who wants to achieve great things must be like Li Yuan, abandoning his wife and children in order to achieve great things. This is normal operation.
But this aspect of Xu Shiji made Li Po very optimistic... If you dare to give me a wife like clothes and brothers like brothers, then I will probably cut off your hands and feet, leaving you with nothing to wear.
When Xu Shiji's family members heard that he was actually interested in the eldest princess, and that he actually became the princess, and Xu Shiji's official position had reached a height that their family had never experienced before, they suddenly felt that there was a lot of smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
, which inevitably made them all very frightened, fearing that their ancestral graves would be damaged.
In the twelfth lunar month, Li Chun's wedding date was decided, and it would be on the sixth day of April next year. The rest would just follow the procedures for a princess's wedding.
My sister was about to get married, and my brother felt bad, so he didn't ask any questions. He even didn't bother to meet Xu Shiji, his future brother-in-law. After the wedding date was set, he issued an edict and granted a title to Xu Gai, who was Xu Shiji's father.
.
The other side refused to accept the offer, and Li Po didn't insist. He was thinking that he should send Xu Shiji back to the Hongnong Formation next year. The war in Henan was about to start, so he could earn some meritorious service to decorate his appearance.
But, don't get killed in front of the battle, that would be too ugly, the girl is newly married... This makes Li Po feel confused, if his brother-in-law is not so good, he can use it to his death.
Just thinking about this matter, Li Po couldn't help but feel a little depressed. After breakfast, Li Po and Ashina Rongzhen left Qingning Palace together. In winter, there were fewer official duties and they were not so urgent. Li Po took a leisurely stroll as a carriage.
...Then I regretted it, the weather was too cold, the wind was strong, and it was freezing so early in the morning that one almost lost his soul.
Despondently, I went to the Ganlu Hall to warm up for a while before going to work in the Tai Chi Hall...
…………………………
The morning of this day was indeed very cold. The right servant of the Minister, Wen Yanbo, who was accustomed to riding to the Minister's province, was so cold that he was so cold. He had always been in good health, but he couldn't bear it at this time.
After entering Shangshu Province, I went to the quiet room to warm up my body with the coldness all over my body.
The quiet room is actually a warm pavilion and a study room located in the Shangshu Province. It is a place where Wen Yanbo can take a break, read, meditate, and receive distinguished guests. It is not a place specifically for handling official business and meeting people.
After only a short time, someone came to report, and he was appointed as a minister to ask for an audience.
Wen Yanbo went out to greet him. Feng Deyi, who was cold and blue, shivered and greeted him. Wen Yanbo quickly let him into a quiet room to keep warm.
Feng Deyi was the eldest, and Wen Yanbo was afraid that he would freeze out, so he entered the quiet room and quickly ordered someone to bring hot tea.
It took a while for Feng Deyi to recover, and he opened his mouth to complain about people's stupidity. Originally, he came in a sedan chair, but someone slipped and fell on the road. Not only did he almost fall, but also broke the sedan chair.
, which made him walk a long way to get here.
Wen Yanbo was surprised and amused when he heard this. If the servant throws Feng Deyi out in such weather, everyone will have something to laugh about this winter...
