The sky in Ningxing in early summer is clear and clear, with clouds like cotton floating in the sky.
When there is no wind, Ning Xing is like a quiet lady.
A carriage entered the city escorted by more than a hundred cavalry.
After taking a look at the regulations on the carriage, the soldier guarding the city knelt down.
"I've met the eldest princess!"
Chang Ling's voice came from the car, "No courtesy!"
The carriage drove all the way into the city.
Several riders came towards me, "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty has summoned you."
"I have something else to do, later."
The leading chamberlain pulled the reins of the horse and repeated his words again, "The eldest princess, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
"I told you, later!" Chang Ling remained the same in the car, not taking the waiter's threat seriously at all.
The chamberlain wanted to scold him, but then he thought about Changling's current power and feared that he would become cannon fodder, so he gritted his teeth and endured, "Yes."
Yang Jia smiled as he watched these people heading towards the imperial city, then rode up to the carriage and said, "Princess, it seems that the emperor is in a hurry."
"Lin Ya just captured one of his confidants, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. He wants to be released, but he has no face to speak, so he wants to let me speak. Should corrupt officials be kept?"
In the carriage, Chang Ling was holding a book in his hand and looking blank.
When we arrived at Princess Mansion, we got off at Changling.
Zhan Juan followed up and said, "Princess, your Majesty's side is so embarrassed after all."
Yang Jia frowned, "Don't get involved in such matters."
These words were not polite, but Zhan Juan's body was shaken, "I'm talking nonsense."
Changling glanced at her and said, "You are an old man who follows me."
Just such a sentence, it didn't say scolding or praising.
But Zhan Juan was particularly panicked.
Shen Tong was waiting inside the door, "I've met the eldest princess."
Changling went in. Shen Tong waited until Yang Jia arrived and asked in a low voice: "How was the trip?"
"Wang Ju said that he is old and cannot bear the eldest princess's urging. He just wants to survive and spend the rest of his life."
Yang Jia's face didn't look very good.
Wang Ju was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel during He Lianfeng's period, and he was a great talent. After He Lianfeng's death, Wang Ju decisively reported his illness and immediately became an official.
"This is a smart man." Shen Tong said as he walked: "When a new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he needs to do is to control the household and personnel departments, and the second is the army."
Without the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, it would be useless to control the army.
…
In the palace, He Lianchun was reading the memorial.
"Your Majesty, please see the queen and the prince."
He Lianchun smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Queen Sun Yu came in leading Prince Helianbo.
After saluting, the prince talked about what he had learned today in a serious manner.
"Well! My son is smart."
He Lianchun was very happy and repeatedly asked people to reward the prince.
Xu Fu, the chamberlain next to him, took his people to make arrangements. One of the chamberlains said, "It's great that Your Majesty is not suspicious of the Crown Prince."
These people have all experienced the secret fight between the late emperor and the deposed prince. The secret fight between father and son made everyone in the palace feel in danger, and they are still worried about it.
Xu Fu said with a straight face: "Stop talking about this, it's a taboo!"
The emperor was obese, and the medical officials tried many methods, but to no avail.
The medical officers gave a subtle hint that if things continued like this, the emperor's lifespan would not be too long.
And the prince is only a few years old. It is estimated that by the time he reaches adulthood and becomes more mature, the emperor will be... almost there.
In this way, it is natural for a father to be kind and his son to be filial.
This is also a good thing.
After seeing the undercurrent between the late emperor and his children and grandchildren, Xu Fu deeply felt that the emperor's lifespan was too long, which was not good!
In the palace, Sun Yu whispered about the situation in the harem.
She was just a girl from a small family. By chance, she became the wife of the emperor's uncle who was still in charge of Tanzhou at that time. She was raised by the staff and kept out of sight.
Now she has finally achieved her end of all her hardships. As the Queen of Daliao, she is in charge of the harem.
The son is the only son of the emperor and has no competitors.
Even if the harem women gave birth to sons, it would be too late.
Once he relaxed, the man became more graceful.
Everyone in the harem praised the queen for her magnanimity and magnanimity.
Magnanimity comes from self-confidence.
This is Sun Yu’s realization.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! Eat less meat and fish on weekdays."
Sun Yu warned.
She and the emperor were a couple in need, so she had such ordinary people's nagging.
The emperor smiled and said, "I understand."
The doctor said that if his weight continues to develop like this, his daily life will be very troublesome.
But he was really wronged... He even gained weight even after drinking water.
A chamberlain came in.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess said to come back later."
The emperor's eyes turned cold, and Sun Yu noticed it, "Your Majesty, why should you be angry... The eldest princess is just a woman!"
She slightly emphasized the word woman.
The emperor said casually: "Chang Ling may seem weak, but deep down she is proud. Most men would not take her seriously. She is expressing her dissatisfaction to me."
Sun Yu smiled, "A woman must marry after all. A married woman gradually becomes a vassal."
"How could Changling become a vassal of men?" Helian Chun smiled.
Sun Yu touched the prince's head and said, "But in the eyes of the outside world, she is just a vassal."
It would be nice to have an excuse!
The emperor's eyes moved slightly. "It seems that you can also be my arm."
Sun Yu smiled and said: "How can I understand government affairs? I just follow the woman's ideas and tell His Majesty.
As for the arms, there are so many talented people in the court, so why is it my turn to speak for a female figure? I won’t be impeached by the imperial censor, and I will leave a bad name in the history.
Me! It’s better to take the prince with me."
The vigilance deep in the emperor's eyes dissipated.
The queen and the prince then left.
After leaving the main hall, the chamberlain beside him said: "Your Majesty was a little alert earlier."
Sun Yu said calmly: "He would rather use Changling than come and ask me. We are both women, how can those stupid literary women like Changling be better than me? Today I just tried it out, but Your Majesty is extra vigilant.
,hehe!"
Inside the palace.
The emperor was silent for a long time and then ordered: "Tell Da Zongzheng, I have been hearing recently about the name of a talented man from Ningxing..."
In the darkness, someone said: "Your Majesty, Wang Gongliang."
The emperor nodded, "Yes. Rumor has it that this man is a master of poetry and poetry, which makes the literati of Ningxing bow their heads. Tell Dazong Zheng that I think it is feasible for Wang Gongliang to be the consort."
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, the clan's attitude toward him was hard to describe.
We all belong to the same clan, so why do you become the emperor and we continue to be salted fish?
He Lianchun immediately gave some benefits and beat up a few more people, which temporarily stabilized the situation.
After Da Zongzheng Helianji learned about it, he smiled and said: "When Changling sees me, he always looks indifferent. Today, I must be angry."
Helianji immediately sent for Wang Gongliang.
"I've seen Da Zongzheng."
Wang Gongliang was less than twenty, and he looked quite handsome. In addition, he was full of poetry and calligraphy, and his temperament was quite good.
"It's an advantage for her."
Helianji asked about Wang Gongliang's situation and said with satisfaction: "Princess Shang?"
Wang Gongliang was startled, "But the eldest princess?"
Helianji nodded, and Wang Gongliang couldn't hide his joy, "Of course I am willing."
Changling was beautiful and well-educated, which was exactly the type of woman that the talented men liked most.
Moreover, Changling's status was respected, and once he became the consort, he would be rich and prosperous.
It can be said that being the consort of Changling means getting both people and wealth.
From now on, there is no need to work hard anymore.
Helianji shook his head, "The so-called talented man is also a piece of shit!"
Immediately, he went to Changling Mansion.
"Princess Princess, Dazong is coming."
Changling put down the book and frowned slightly, "What is he here for?"
Zhan Juan said: "It's probably a matter within the clan!"
When the late emperor was there, Helianji was very flattering and flattering. When the news of the late emperor's death came, before the body was buried in the ground, Helianji moved in and joined He Lianchun, who had not yet ascended the throne. .
The speed is so fast that it is rarely seen in the world.
Changling went to the front yard.
When Helianji saw her, he said indifferently: "What does this family rely on? Men. There is no man, and there is an air of femininity."
Changling said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm very busy."
This is disrespectful.
Helianji said: "I have always been worried about your life-long event. The late Emperor and His Majesty have found countless young talents for you, but you just don't like them.
I heard that you like to compose poems and read books, and you are sentimental when you have nothing to do. I think you are a man who likes to be talented in literature!
It just so happens that Ning Xing has recently produced a great talent. He is so talented that he can overwhelm countless talented people in Ning Xing.
,
I think I am a perfect match for you.
As agreed, I will give you the correct birth date and horoscope. If you are worthy of it, it will be him."
Changling held a jade pendant in his hand, with a calm expression, "How talented?"
"Yes!" Helianji said: "Ning Xing, the younger generation, is unrivaled."
"Then why have I never heard of his poetry?"
Well!
Helianji said: "You are making things difficult, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to find a consort and have a man accompany you when you come back at night?"
"I won't make things difficult. As long as he can write a few famous poems, he can be considered a genius."
"What is a famous article?"
"There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright flowers and dark willows..."
After a while, Helianji left the princess's house in embarrassment. He looked back and said, "I think you will be alone in this life, and there will be no one to worship you after you die!"
He went to the palace to report it.
"No?"
"Yes. Why don't you look down on it?"
The emperor said calmly: "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. The late emperor is gone, isn't it, and you and I are still there?"
Helianji suddenly realized, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The emperor nodded, and Helianji knew that the rest was his own.
After he left, the emperor said quietly: "Changling, I want to use you, but the late emperor's men and horses have taken root too deeply."
After the death of the late emperor, some of the civil and military officials who were loyal to him retired from office, while others remained silent.
But from the moment Shen Tong surrendered to Changling, the emperor became wary.
He wanted to clean up the court and the place, but Lin Ya was on the side. Once he made too big a move, the ministers loyal to the late emperor would backlash.
Once it rebounds, Lin Ya takes advantage of the situation and the situation becomes critical!
So, this is a noose-like structure.
If he doesn't clean up, those ministers will either be won over by Lin Ya or they will lean towards Changling.
The queen has a good idea, women! Many times, you should listen to what men say.
After all, this is a world where men are superior to women.
Helianji went back.
Wang Gongliang asked to see him.
"This man is a toad!" Helianji said sarcastically, "Bring him here."
Wang Gongliang came in, saluted, and said that he had written several poems recently and asked Da Zong for advice.
This is a custom from Chang'an - if literati want to become famous, they need the appreciation of nobles.
If it doesn't matter, just copy out your best poems. The font should be attractive. Maybe someone will like it!
Then he submitted the poem to the noble family.
If noble people appreciate you, they will naturally win you over and make you famous.
Seeing this, those who don't know will say that those noble people are not bad, at least they appreciate talents.
What kind of talent do you appreciate when you are fine?
It's okay, let's have a drink, watch a song and dance, sleep with a few women, isn't it delicious?
What poem?
Does it have the power to shock people’s hearts?
No!
That's garbage!
This is just a buying and selling relationship.
Scholars submit their poems to noble people, which is a display of talent, just like some big stage in another world.
He is also the first to sell the goods - Brother, look at my talent, can I be your little brother?
The noble man looked at it and thought it was garbage, so he threw it away.
I thought it was good and interesting, so I summoned him and questioned him. I thought he had a promising future, so he said, "From now on, you will be my man."
This is business!
One wants to sell first, and the other wants to expand his power.
The two hit it off immediately.
Lang Youqing came to concubine with intention, and the fire was so strong that it ignited as soon as he touched it.
Wang Gongliang was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, but Helianji saw through his intentions at a glance.
"I don't like poetry."
He is Da Zongzheng, and the Eagle Guard has placed at least three people around him.
Therefore, he did not dare to blatantly expand his strength.
"By the way, I went to Changling today, and she asked, do you have any famous articles?"
"Of course there is."
This is a show!
Wang Gongliang's eyes lit up.
I feel like the world has finally opened a window to me.
From now on, there is no need to work hard.
Helianji coughed dryly and asked the staff who followed him to see Changling today, "What kind of famous article is Changling talking about? Tell him about it."
The staff member took a step forward.
"There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright flowers and dark willows."
Helianji didn't understand any poetry, so he looked at Wang Gongliang and said, "How?"
Wang Gongliang's face turned pale.
The staff continued: "The bright moon was there at that time, and it returned with colorful clouds."
Wang Gongliang's face turned reddish.
"I see how charming the green hills are, and I know how charming the green hills are."
Wang Gongliang's face turned blue.
"Say something!" Da Zongzheng was a little impatient.
"If you don't hate the ancients, I won't see you. If you hate the ancients, you won't see me!"
Wang Gongliang's face turned purple.
"Hey!" Helianji was angry, "Tell me, could you write such a poem? Tell me!"
Wang Gongliang's face was colorful and his body was still trembling, "I...I..."
Helianji is now thinking about completing the task assigned by the emperor, so that the relationship can be further developed.
He knew very well that his glory and wealth came from the emperor, so the emperor was his heaven.
If it were not Changling, whenever the emperor fell in love with a woman and the woman refused, he would personally hold her down, then turn around and smile flatteringly, "Your Majesty, please."
And Wang Gongliang is good-looking. In Da Zongzheng's opinion, he is just a pretty boy, just like a demented scholar. But now he lacks talent.
"Since he is a great talent who can crush my Ningxing literary world, he should be able to do it, right?"
Helianji asked confidently.
Wang Gongliang's face turned pale, "...No! It's far worse!"
