"Prime Minister Ji is unwilling to fulfill the contract and wants to recruit a bride through the embroidery house again, but this little girl from the Ji family is quite temperamental. She said that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since the embroidery house has recruited this person, then she will marry him.
, so he high-fived Ji Wenxuan three times, broke off the relationship, and married off.
After the announcement, he announced that his youngest daughter had died of illness and left her alone.
Later, she found a village and got married to the beggar. Later, in the third year of Chongqing Emperor Jing's reign, our dynasty went to war with the Helian tribe, and the beggar joined the army. There has been no news since the war, and his life and death are still unknown.
And this little girl never remarried and kept observing the rules of the village. Gradually no one mentioned her anymore.
Lin Yang would not have been able to come back so quickly without her help. Lin Yang asked her what she wanted, and she only asked Lin Yang to help her find a husband, so..."
Princess Lin Yang spied on Sheng Shaoqing's expression and continued, "It's just that the battle that year was so frustrating. The beggar's life and death were unknown, so it was quite difficult to investigate..."
"Tell me, what do you want Aijia to do?"
Sheng Shaoqing knew from the look on Princess Lin Yang's face that she was asking for something from her, so he asked her what she wanted. Princess Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lin Yang wants to go to Taichang Temple to call for help."
The records from that year can help her find a husband."
"Let me guess, is this Miss Ji's name Baochuan?"
This story is too familiar.
Princess Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, "How do you know, Queen Mother?"
Sheng Shaoqing made sure, and then asked, "Do you know that Taichang Temple is an important place for the imperial court, and even the Ai family cannot go there, so why do you want to go in?"
"Isn't it that Lin Yang came to the door of the Queen Mother's sister-in-law and hoped that you would let me in?"
Princess Linyang was not surprised that the Queen Mother knew this girl's name. Back then, there was a lot of fuss about recruiting brides in Xiulou. Even after many years, it is common to remember this incident.
"You don't just want to help her find a husband, right?" Sheng Shaoqing exposed Princess Lin Yang's pretense. If it was just a little village woman who helped the princess, she would just give away some gold and silver as a reward, so she wouldn't bother to beg in front of her like this.
, and based on this, wooing Ji Wenxuan may be her real idea.
Princess Lin Yang put down the tea cup in her hand, looked at Sheng Shaoqing with a smile on her face and said, "Lin Yang should repay the kindness of others with a spring of water. Ji Baochuan has been guarding the cold kiln for decades. Now this is such a request. Of course Lin Yang
I have to satisfy her."
"You are not telling the truth." Sheng Shaoqing said firmly.
Princess Lin Yang's smile froze, her retracted hand paused, then she raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, then slowly retracted her hand into her sleeves, and asked Sheng Shaoqing solemnly, "What does the Queen Mother think of Wei Zhen?"
"
Sheng Shaoqing was stunned for a moment. Just when he was talking about Ji Wenxuan, why did Wei Zhen get involved? Princess Lin Yang's mind jumped and she really could compete with her.
"If you are cunning and slippery, you will be punished."
These eight words are Sheng Shaoqing's accurate summary of Wei Zhen these days, especially the rumor behind his back, which is exactly the same as her greasy colleague in the next work station.
Whenever a female colleague gets a promotion, they say it was because of sleeping with them. When a male colleague gets a salary increase, they say they have a tough background. In short, they spread rumors everywhere and cause trouble, and one day they accidentally turn a private message into a group message. Secondly,
I just packed up my things and went home in despair.
Sheng Shaoqing still remembers the WeChat group that suddenly exploded that night. Its shocking sentence "Leader, you are my only treasure" once became the company's annual hot line and was praised until the leader was transferred. She occasionally still
I can hear everyone's teasing.
Princess Lin Yang nodded, "One more thing is that we should work together to defeat those who disagree."
Back then, her prince-in-law just had a political disagreement with him, so he found an excuse to send him to the border area. Then he encountered a rebellion caused by the refugees, and the prince-son-in-law and his entourage were wiped out on the way to take office, and not even a body was found.
At that time, she was weak and had no choice but to endure it. After all, it was just an accident. But now that she met Mr. Li, she didn't want to endure it anymore.
Sheng Shaoqing sighed, how could Wei Zhen have accumulated so much power if he hadn't been united in fighting against differences.
"Lin Yang heard that Wei Zhen dared to be disrespectful to his sister-in-law in court before. He is so arrogant and the Queen Mother must not tolerate him lightly!"
"Then, you want to use Ji Wenxuan's hand to get rid of Wei Zhen?"
Princess Lin Yang said happily, "Sister-in-law is wise. Lin Yang thinks that Prime Minister Ji is already old and may retire from office in a few years. Without the suppression on his head, Wei Zhen may be in trouble. But if Ji Wenxuan is now
If you are willing to stand on our side and use Ji Wenxuan to accumulate prestige over the years, the situation will become clear."
Sheng Shaoqing was stunned when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, Princess Songyang was Princess Linyang's biological sister, and Wei Zhen was Princess Songyang's father-in-law. With such a close relationship, how could Princess Linyang think of dealing with him?
?
"System! Check!"
[The late emperor's favorite sister was Princess Lin Yang, not only because of her straightforward personality, but also because she and the late emperor were on the same front, and she had helped the late emperor to suppress the Wei family overtly and covertly. ]
"them?"
[You are not the only one who has a headache for the old ministers outside the Pass. You have also had a grudge against these people since Emperor Jing was in power. 】
Once the emperor has one courtier, the emperor does not need those courtiers at this time. No matter how outstanding the achievements of the ancestors, once the boundary between the emperor and the ministers is crossed, they are no longer comrades fighting side by side, but enemies.
[Moreover, not long after Princess Lin Yang married her consort, the consort died at the hands of Wei Zhen, and the two families have been feuding since then. 】
"What's going on?"
[The consort had a disagreement with Wei Zhenzheng, so he was sent to patrol the border. An accident occurred and the entire army was wiped out. The princess put the blame on Wei Zhen. 】
[Host, do you now know why Mr. Li is so favored by Princess Lin Yang? 】
"Ah?" Sheng Shaoqing was all excited, "Can't you be Wanwan Leiqing?"
The system didn't say anything. After a long time, he stiffly asked, "What is Wanwan Leiqing?"
"Oh no, is it stand-in literature?"
【Substitute? That should be like this.】
"Queen Mother?"
Seeing that Sheng Shaoqing had not spoken for a long time, Princess Linyang asked softly. The Queen Mother did not seem to know that the emperor's brother had already started to deal with Wei Zhen. As soon as Ji Wenxuan showed some signs of loosening, the emperor's brother died suddenly. Ji Wenxuan continued to
She didn't hit the target, but she was at a loss for a while.
"In your opinion, is Jiwen Xuanhui willing to wade through this troubled waters?"
Princess Lin Yang shook her head, "That's why we have to drag him down. Ji Wenxuan has been operating for many years, and it is more than enough to bring down one Wei Zhen."
She wants Wei Zhen to pay for his life with his life!
Now, it was Sheng Shaoqing's turn to pick up the tea cup, skim off the foam on it, taste the tea briefly, then slowly put it down and told Cui Yun to add more hot water.
Princess Linyang watched anxiously, and finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. She would not have let it slip if she had known better. Being so turned off by the Queen Mother, she even forgot what she wanted to say.
"Then why hasn't Prime Minister Ji destroyed Wei Zhen after so many years?"
After a long time, Sheng Shaoqing's voice was heard only in the inner hall between the two of them.
Princess Lin Yang was choked by the Queen Mother's question. She thought for a long time before replying, "What the Queen Mother means is that Prime Minister Ji is unwilling to get rid of him?"
"The princess and I can find so many faults with him. Isn't it clear that Prime Minister Ji deals with him every day?"
Princess Lin Yang was surprised and asked, "Is it true?"
Could it be that Ji Wenxuan and Wei Zhen are already in the same group?
Sheng Shaoqing saw her thoughts, shook his head and said, "The one thing that makes Prime Minister Ji stand firm is that he will never fall to anyone easily. Doesn't his current status depend on staying true to his principles?"
The so-called golden mean is to find the most appropriate balance point in the turbulent multiple undercurrents.
The system was speechless and pleased as it listened to the host reciting the previous lessons intact. It was pleased that the host had finally listened, and it deeply despised Sheng Shaoqing's plagiarism.
But who lets someone be the host?
Princess Linyang thoughtfully picked up the tea cup and turned it in her hands. Ji Wenxuan rejected Aunt Hengyang's proposal and went away to serve as an official. When everyone thought that his future was slim, he used his outstanding ability to
and talents return to the capital.
When he fled the capital, it was also the most intense moment of competition between the old officials outside the pass and the Han officials. By the time he returned to the capital, the two had reached a certain balance and maintained a superficial harmony of wells and rivers. After that, he
He rose rapidly until he reached the rank of Prime Minister.
His status as a Han Chinese does not seem to hinder him, and when dealing with his old ministers, he can be neither humble nor overbearing. After all, he is famous for rejecting the eldest princess's proposal, so no one will make things too difficult for him.
"That?"
"The princess and the Ai family both understand what Wei Zhen represents. If we remove Wei Zhen, there will still be Li Zhen and Liu Zhen. If we remove Wei Zhen, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Princess Lin Yang smiled bitterly, she couldn't think of that much, all she wanted was to let Wei Zhen die.
With her own strength, she could not shake Wei Zhen, and if Ji Wenxuan could not kill him with one blow, he would not act rashly. Now the Queen Mother seemed to have the same intention, and a wave of annoyance suddenly passed through her heart.
"But those old ministers are our Qiang people after all, and they have made great contributions in the past. Do we want to kill them all in one fell swoop just to get rid of Wei Zhen?"
But if the old ministers are not suppressed and allowed to develop, Wei Zhen will only become more and more arrogant, and Princess Linyang will be deeply entangled.
"Princess, the Ai family wants to ask you, what is the name of our country?"
Princess Lin Yang replied without thinking, "Of course it's a severe cold!"
"Then can all the people be my citizens of Daliang?"
Princess Lin Yang nodded and said, "That's natural."
"Since all the people in the world are from Daliang, why do we need to divide them into Qiang and Han?"
In Sheng Shaoqing's understanding, it is the great unity of the nation. Anyone who destroys the unity of the nation and causes division has evil intentions!
Princess Linyang took a breath in shock, and it took a long time for her to recover. The Queen Mother's expression when she said these words was exactly like her imperial brother back then.
"Do you mean, if you want to get rid of Wei Zhen, do you want to get rid of the people behind him first?"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "Only by removing the fuel from the cauldron can we avoid future troubles forever."
"Since entering the customs, after several dynasties, the veterans who really made great contributions have long since passed away. If they knew how to cherish their blessings, they should not let their descendants do this."
Princess Linyang raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, Queen Mother, you have to know that there is nothing simple behind him."
Sheng Shaoqing was so worried because she knew it so well. When she asked the system several times in a circumstantial way, the system that kept asking for 258,000 yuan remained silent, euphemistically calling it training the host's own abilities.
"Not only are there old ministers behind him, but many aristocratic families are also involved. It is not easy to uproot them."
Princess Lin Yang only wanted Wei Zhen's life, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother had a greater appetite and actually wanted the lives of a group of people.
Sheng Shaoqing smiled bitterly and said, "Then take your time."
When Sheng Shaoqing argued with the system at the beginning, she just felt that if Wei Zhen left, and another one who was more difficult to deal with came, it would only give her more headaches.
Just like the greasy colleague at the next work station, after he was driven away, an even more annoying one came. For Sheng Shaoqing, who was already tortured by work, it was nothing more than adding insult to injury.
"Then Prime Minister Ji still needs...?"
Before Princess Lin Yang said the word "win over", Sheng Shaoqing continued, "You don't need to go to Taichang Temple. If my guess is correct, Prime Minister Ji's son-in-law is not dead, and he is still in the Helian tribe.
Live well."
Sheng Shaoqing watched helplessly as several huge question marks appeared on Princess Lin Yang's head, and several even bigger question marks appeared in Sheng Shaoqing's heart.
"System, what are you doing?"
[Host, I still think you need this psychological peeping function.]
“I don’t want what you think!! I want what I feel!!!!”
【All right.】
The system continued helplessly, [The functions you originally selected will be given to you for free. Beauty and body care are not of much use anyway.]
Sheng Shaoqing actually heard a hint of pampering in the system's helplessness?
She must have read too many story books recently, and her brain is not functioning properly.
"How did you know, Queen Mother..."
"You send people to look for it first. If there is no harvest, is it possible for the Aijia to take you to Taichang Temple?"
Princess Lin Yang thought about it again and again, and could only agree, got up and left, but Sheng Shaoqing's voice sounded behind her.
"Princess, are they really similar?"
Are there really two unrelated people in this world who look very similar?
Princess Lin Yang's expression turned petrified instantly, and it took a long time for signs of loosening to appear, "It's just that there are some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes."
She thought that no one would remember the young prince-in-law who died young. The young man who was equally astonishing and talented died early in the party struggle. Even his body was probably eaten by wolves and buried in the wind and sand at the border.
This time she went to Huangzhuang and met Miss Ji, which was an unexpected bonus.
Since God is helping her, let her blood feud be avenged, and she will be able to vent her anger and calm down and protect Young Master Li.
That day, the water was flowing in the wind, all the wise men had arrived, and after a few rounds of wine, Mr. Li recited poems and responded to the crowd. The ambition revealed between the lines made her eyes wet.
The same thing happened to the prince-in-law that winter, telling her his inner ambition in her ears. It was a pity that the prince-in-law could not wait for spring.
