Wu Yu felt that since the official ascended the throne, there had been mostly good news in the court and the market. The year after Yaoshan was even better except for the extremely embarrassing time of welcoming back the Second Saint.
The land of Qilu, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Its return allowed the Song Dynasty to heal the internal trauma caused by the Jingkang humiliation. From then on, it can really be said that most of the world was at peace.
For Confucian scholars, the recovery of the land of saints proved that the Song Dynasty was still orthodox in the Central Plains; for maritime merchants, the road to Goryeo and even Japan was opened. In the future, if you want to do business, in addition to paying taxes, you only need to pay Zhang Taiwei.
Just make a contribution; for the generals of the imperial camp’s front army and the imperial camp’s right army, this is a real contribution; and for those Jingdong households who were born and raised here, it is the fulfillment of their expectation to return to their hometown.
Really, everyone is busy helping the old and the young to go to their hometown.
Now that so many people are satisfied, the discussion caused by the White Horse in Shaoxing, from the differences between the brothers of Taizu Taizong, Zhezong and Taishang Daojun, to the issue of filial piety in the ancestral temple today, will naturally be overshadowed.
Of course, the imperial court was not idle either. The "Xingtong" was revised to be benevolent and forgiving. The remaining ministers were given the title of secret cabinet one after another. A large number of mid-level officials and some ministers who kept the integrity went to Jingdong to serve. Of course, there were also people brought from Qilu.
Big news.
Yue Fei brought important figures from the two armies and his son Yue Yun to the palace. Not only did he receive a large banner of "Serve the Country with Faith and Loyalty", but he also received the command of the eastern front in the future Northern Expedition. The Zhao Guan family also granted him the title of County Prince.
The ceremonial guards used axes and axes to clear the way, and they came out from the Donghua Gate in full attire. This Hebei peasant boy received the greatest honor as a soldier in the Song Dynasty for 170 years.
I heard that one of the ministers commented at that time: "Since then, there have been more and more good men from the Donghua Sect in the army of the Song Dynasty!"
But for Concubine Wu and other concubines, the bigger talking point was that the Zhao Guan family betrothed their eldest daughter, Princess Foyou, to Yue Taiwei's eldest son, Yue Yun.
And Han Shizhong, who had just won the title of "Unparalleled in the World" and the leader of the Song Dynasty Warriors, became a father for the first time when he was over 40 years old. His eldest son, who had not yet been named, was directly given in marriage to Princess Yiyou who was less than two years old.
At this time, even the two empress dowagers, who were living in seclusion, began to nag. The officials really changed their old customs and tried their best to promote favored generals. They could not be disobeyed.
What is even more eye-catching is the belly of the two noble concubines. Legend has it that the official family has privately promised to King Han that if they get the emperor's eldest son, they will get married again - Mrs. Liang gave birth to a pair of twins.
The people in the palace were under the supervision of two guards, and even if they had to discuss a few words in private, the relatives and nobles outside the palace were talking even more. Countless people were guessing whose belly the emperor's eldest son was born - at that time, it usually took seven or eight months to accumulate years.
The old nun or medical officer will find out whether the child is a boy or a girl - this was the case when Concubine Pan gave birth to Princess Yiyou.
But there is an undercurrent whispering that Pan Guozhang is a national player, and by taking action himself, it is almost certain that the child in his daughter's belly is a prince. But there is a problem. Although the gender of the fetus in Wu Guifei's belly is unknown, according to "Tong History", this
The child should be slightly longer than Pan Fei's son.
This made it difficult for the dignitaries who were deprived of their favor last time and the new batch of dignitaries who came back from Yangzhou. Although everyone now has almost no favor officials, and although the chrysanthemums given to Madam Pan last time were thrown back by the officials,
Depending on her brains and her enjoyment-loving temper, as long as her son is the prince, he will continue to be rich sooner or later.
But the Wu family is different. First of all, they were born merchants and never interacted with each other. After they became prosperous, they quickly formed a loose alliance with Wang Lun and Zhang Jun. They usually only focused on the official family. Let's put it this way, if the official family continues
In the mulberry tree and fish pond, Wu Jinneng took his sons to loosen the soil for him. How could a prince who grew up in such an atmosphere be of the same mind as them? It would be impossible to hope for the influence of tomorrow. Concubine Wu loved reading.
Even if "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "White Snake" were written by officials in her name, the lecture records of the palace attendants cannot be faked. Wu Yu had been in the army for many years and was naturally familiar with the generals, so he would not recommend her.
As a queen, at least I won't object.
So what should these people do? Will they completely follow the Emperor Taishang Daojun and become the trash of Fengheng Henan University?
Without doing anything, Wu Yu became a group of monks and Taoists, the imaginary enemy of officials for generations.
Of course, they did not dare to really target the imperial concubine who was favored by the official family - in that case, Yang Yizhong would probably lead the Imperial Guard to capture the Imperial City Department. But who made Pan Guifei, who was very enterprising, dare to go and fight with her?
Official dialogue.
As soon as Zhao Guan's family heard that they wanted to pray, they knew that someone was going to take advantage of them, so they didn't even raise their heads to Concubine Pan, "Don't you have any money?" Zhao Jiu sighed, "Everywhere in the country needs money, and if you have money, you should use it.
In terms of business, where do you get the money to do things?"
"There is no need for the government to pay for it," Concubine Pan did not dare to stop for a moment. "There will be people who are willing to pay..."
Zhao Jiu nodded, without asking who was willing to pay, and directly asked: "How much can you pay?"
So the person who wanted to curry favor with her lost her money, and Concubine Pan had to follow Zhao Jiu's order to find Wu Yu. The latter held her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and was dumbfounded, "My sister's family and I each have one hundred thousand guan."
, praying for the emperor’s heirs, officials, and the queen mother at Yuetai.”
Concubine Pan was upset because she had lost the qualification of a queen to sacrifice alone. When she heard this, she said: "What? Sister, I feel sorry for you. Even if it is for nothing else, the emperor's heir is your flesh and blood. Although my family is not as rich as Sister Wu, as long as Daozu
Buddha bless me, the emperor, and I am willing to pay the two hundred thousand guan."
Wu Yu wanted to tell you, you really think I'm a fool. Your family still has 200,000 guan. Someone gave you 100,000 guan. So he smiled and said, "Sister, I love my son, but this is not good."
Put it this way, it’s better for us to do it in private. Otherwise, if some officials south of Huaihai are ignorant and pay for the two queen mothers to join in, wouldn’t it remind the princes and officials of the three thousand taels of gold incident in the past? My sister is timid.
, I would never dare to take responsibility for this."
Concubine Pan was blown by the autumn wind and looked at the desolate palace garden. She suddenly had a bright idea and realized that the Queen Mother was Zhao Jiu's biological mother no matter what, so she didn't dare to mention it again.
That night Wu Yu sent someone to deliver a message to her family, saying that she needed money to pray for the emperor's heir. She knew that she didn't need to say more. Wu Jin valued the baby in her belly even more than all his sons. As long as this child
The birth was timely and healthy, and the Wu family would be rich for three generations even if they were lying down. Therefore, for something that he would rather believe in, he would be willing to have each of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism contribute a hundred thousand yuan.
After finishing all this, Wu Yu ignored the night and added a few more stitches to the half-embroidered bellyband with the "Doll Playing with Carp" pattern. After being persuaded by the maid, she held her belly and went to sleep with a smile.
My child, whether you are a boy or a girl, old or young, I like you. As long as you are healthy and happy, I will be satisfied.
