"The emperor's edict said: If any minister plays Meng, he will prepare for the robbers and captains. If he follows the captain to attack Wu Ni, rushes into the formation and kills the generals, and has made great contributions to the country, he will give his minister Meng Jue the title of Zuosu Chief, and he will be appointed as the captain of Fengche. Su
Stay awake all night, protect me and never slack off!"
When Ju Meng walked out of Weiyang Palace, his mind was still immersed in the edict just now.
One year ago today, Ju Meng would never have imagined that he would rise from a humble knight-errant leader to a close minister of the emperor, with a salary of two thousand dan, and even a title close to that of the Marquis of Guannei.
.
This made Ju Meng feel a bit like a dream.
"Congratulations, brother. Congratulations, brother. Congratulations on your promotion!" As soon as Jumeng left the palace gate, several figures rushed out from the side. As soon as these people saw Jumeng, they immediately surrounded him and congratulated him.
When I first saw the drama, I saw that they were all his old brothers.
There was also a smile on his face, saying: "Same joy, same joy!"
"Brother, please!" A man said cheerfully: "Sister-in-law and adoptive mother are waiting for my brother's triumphant return at home. Before coming, my sister-in-law told me to wait and make sure to take my brother back in time!"
Ju Meng was shocked when he heard this and asked: "How could I not know when my wife and mother arrived in Chang'an?"
These knights are all Jumeng's sworn brothers, life-and-death friends who have promised to kill each other.
Therefore, each side regards the other's elders as their parents.
This time Ju Meng went on an expedition and even left a suicide note, instructing these brothers that if he unfortunately died in battle, the orphans and widowers would have to worry about these brothers.
The giggling man stopped laughing and said seriously: "I dare not hide this from my brother. After my brother went out with the army this year, Your Majesty ordered that a house be built for him in Chang'an City. He gave him slaves and servants, and ordered me to go to the general.
My sister-in-law and adoptive mother come to Chang'an to enjoy the blessings!"
"Now my sister-in-law has prepared a family dinner for my brother at home. We are just waiting for my brother to come home and reunite the whole family!"
After hearing this, Meng was deeply moved.
"I will take care of your wife, and you can go on your own..." This sentence may be an uncomfortable one in later generations.
But at this time, it is a truly true statement!
Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, how many people have died in a foreign country under the order of the monarch, but there is no one to take care of the orphans and widows at home?
Therefore, in recent decades, caring for the orphans and widows has become the standard for society to evaluate the emperor's quality.
"Chen Ju Meng kowtows to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Ju Meng immediately turned around and kowtowed heavily to the Weiyang Palace.
For him, having such a considerate emperor was enough for him to risk his life for him and die in return!
…………………………………………
At the same time, Yi Zong, who had just been appointed as the Prince Consort and also as the Sima Gate Guard of Weiyang Palace, walked into a palace of Weiyang Palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
His sister was the emperor's beloved concubine. Yi Nu, who was named a beauty, was wearing a phoenix robe and a golden hairpin. She was graceful and luxurious. She was sitting on the roof of the palace with full aura, looking at Yi Zong with a smile on her face.
.
"Brother, please pay homage to my sister!" Yi Zong bowed respectfully and looked up at his sister. He was very happy for his sister's wealth today.
"No courtesy!" Yi Nu smiled slightly and ordered the people around him: "Give me a seat!"
After Yi Zong sat down, Yi Nu had the opportunity to take a good look at his brother.
Today's Yi Zong is full of heroic spirit and his whole person is full of passion.
Yi Nu looked at it and couldn't help but nodded: "My brother has become a pillar today!"
For Yi Nu, her greatest comfort is that her younger brother can be successful and stand out!
Yi Zong has been following Zhou Yafu for the past few months. He may not have learned anything else, but he has learned everything about etiquette, rules and systems.
He bowed his head and replied solemnly: "Thanks to your Majesty's trust, I am now the Prince Consort and the Sima Gate Guard!"
Yi Nu didn't know what Prince Consort was, let alone what the Simamen Guards did.
She hasn't even figured out the concubine system in this palace yet.
Therefore, he only encouraged him: "My brother, I must serve your Majesty loyally and die for the country of the Han family!"
"No!" Yi Zong bowed and bowed.
However, Yi Zong knew very well what it meant for the Prince Consort to also serve as the Sima Gate Guard.
Together, these two official positions equaled that he controlled half of the armed forces of Weiyang Palace.
And he is only seventeen years old this year!
Looking through the history books, the grandson Wu Qi, Marquis Wu An, at his age, was probably still playing in the mud!
Therefore, he is very motivated.
Who doesn’t want to build a great career and let future generations look up to their name?
Reluctantly suppressing the urge to show off in his heart, Yi Zong bowed again and said, "Sister Qi, I, when I went on an expedition with the Taiwei, I was deeply trusted and supported by the Taiwei. This time when I returned to the court, the Taiwei inadvertently
I mentioned that I want to marry my young daughter to my wife, but I don’t know what my sister’s intention is?”
Taiwei? Zuo Xiangguo Zhou Yafu, who had just been ennobled as Marquis of Changping and appointed by the late emperor as the head of the hundred officials?
Upon hearing this, Yi Nu stood up immediately and said, "This is a good thing. I will mention this matter to Your Majesty when I find an opportunity..."
Marrying Marquis Che, a man with a household of 13,000 households?
Yi Nu subconsciously put himself in a relatively weak position.
A year ago, not only one of their siblings became the emperor's beloved concubine, enjoying thousands of honours, but the other became a consort and became a close minister of the emperor.
At that time, they were on tenterhooks and lived a precarious life. How could they ever think about today?
Therefore, even Yi Zong, who was originally full of confidence, felt a little inferior at this time.
Therefore, Yi Nu's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
Their siblings' parents died early, and not even a single family member remained.
Now, I can only raise the emperor's tiger flag to protect myself.
To avoid being accused behind your back of overestimating your ability to eat swan meat.
But neither of them knew that now, the whole government and the public were staring at Yi Zong, and there was almost a long queue of Chehou ministers who wanted to give their daughter a warm bed, a field and a house!
Since I came to the throne today, the queen has not been officially registered.
A high-level beauty like Yi Nu has been canonized for the time being. Given time, Madam, she will definitely be canonized.
It is conceivable that he will be favored for several years.
Who wouldn’t want to hug such thick thighs?
Not to mention that Yi Zong has already worshiped the Prince Consort and the Sima Gate Guard. Even though he is a penniless pauper, there are still many people who want to get close to him!
The two siblings were completely unaware of this. Although their identities had changed, their thinking had not caught up for a while, let alone placed themselves in the position of a superior person or aristocrat.
…………………………
It is different from Yizong and Jumeng.
At this time, the master's father was in a bad temper and was jumping around the house. He even broke a lot of pots and jars.
His wife, An Ling, stood next to him with a look of grievance on her face, and advised in a soft voice: "Husband, don't be angry. I just won't give them any money next time!"
However, the master's father refused to calm down and cursed: "I'm not angry with Shaojun, but with those shameless guys!"
"I think back then, I set out from Linzi, determined to travel around the world, and borrowed a hundred gold from them as payment. They all laughed at me and laughed at me for not knowing what I could do. Now, seeing that my life is getting better, they come from Linzi one by one.
Come running!" The master sat down and said angrily: "Why? Ever since I came out of Linzi, I have sworn an oath that I will break up with this generation, and we will never see each other again!"
"But after all, they are your husband's brothers Kunzhong. The eldest members of the clan came to the house and asked me for some money. How dare I refuse to give it?" The Anling family has a gentle temperament and a quiet person. Since the two got married, the master's father Yan
His temper gradually improved due to her gentleness, and he was no longer so cynical.
However, whenever Zhu Fuyan thinks of what happened back then, he still feels very unbalanced.
The father-in-law's family can be considered a wealthy family in Linzi.
When his father was alive, there were dozens of guests at home, as well as dozens of brothers from the clan, who often came to his father's home to enjoy the autumn breeze.
When his father was still alive, he was very generous to these people and gave them whatever they asked for.
But after the father passed away and the family was separated, these people turned against each other and threw aside the kindness they had received back then.
Some people even add insult to injury. Otherwise, why would Master Yan want to travel all over the world to seek a way to advance in the profession? Wouldn't it be much happier to be a maid when there is nothing to do at home, and to be a maid when there is something to do?
And when Zhufu Yan planned to travel around the world, looking for a way to advance in the profession, and went to borrow money from these people with licking his face, these people, the better ones, said they were short of money, and the worse ones even kicked Zhufu Yan out of the house.
.
This kind of shame will never be forgotten by Master Yan for the rest of his life!
Now that he is rich, these people still dare to come to his house and ask for money?
Do you really think he is an idiot?
However, since his wife gave him all the money, there was nothing he could do. Is it possible to catch up with those people and ask for it?
However, he couldn't swallow this breath!
Anling saw that his anger had subsided a little, so he said softly: "Besides, I heard that now that the emperor has newly ascended the throne, it is the time to employ people. My husband has millions of strategies in his chest. It is the time to work hard. This is the time to work hard."
It’s nothing more than a trivial matter, but if you are accused of being a vindictive and narrow-minded person because of this, it will be more than worth the loss!”
After Master Yan heard this, he felt a little better.
As the new king came to the throne, fierce competition among the late ministers began.
Who doesn’t want to go a step further and become a minister of a thousand or even two thousand stones?
The three giants above, Zhang Tang, Ji An, and Yan Yi, were all eyeing the position of internal history and secretly competing with each other.
The people below also have their own plans.
For example, Zhufu Yan, during this period, was also busy working to get himself into the censor's office. His goal was to serve as a supervisory censor in a place. Even if his level remained the same, for him, it was still the same.
Great progress.
After all, compared to the nominal position in the crown prince's womb, it is undoubtedly countless times better to go to a place to become the crown prince, dominate and enjoy the pleasure of being a master!
I just want to complete this step of flying.
It requires the right time, right place, right people, and the emperor’s nod.
After thinking about it, Master Fuyan also felt that what his wife said was reasonable. At this time, there really cannot be a scandal!
Therefore, I could only pinch my nose, endure my nausea, and accept the fact that I was ripped off by those ungrateful guys.
only……
The master's father looked at his wife and told him: "If someone comes to my house under the guise of being a relative or friend next time, Shaojun, please order someone to beat him out with a stick!"
For his father, Yu Yan, he just feels sick when he thinks about those relatives and old friends in Linzi!
"No!" An Ling nodded, and then began to pack up the many jars and jars that had been smashed by his father.
At this time, a servant outside the door came to report: "Master, Zhang Lingli just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that a banquet will be held at his home tonight, and he invites the master to come to the banquet!"
Hearing this, the master's father nodded and said: "I understand, please tell the people who come, I will definitely attend the meeting on time!"
What does Zhang Tang mean by holding a banquet? Master Fuyan can figure it out after just a little thought.
It’s nothing more than forming cliques and dividing territories!
The ministers who had been hiding in the palace were now on the verge of fighting over each other in order to compete for the position of internal history!
But Zhu Fuyan felt that these people were completely fooling around!
The internal history is one of the nine ministers!
No matter how good Zhang Tang, Yan Yi and Ji An are, it is impossible for them to be qualified to sit in that position now.
The emperor would not be so stupid as to hand over important ministerial positions such as Jiuqing to a bunch of young boys under thirty.
Not to mention that the emperor has an empress dowager and empress dowager on his head!
Therefore, it is destined to be a dream for Zhang Tang and others to learn from Chao Cuo's good example!
At least, they have to survive for three to five years before they have even the slightest chance. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
