Chapter 1559: King Tongguan of Guangyang, Crown Princess Qian Shi
Chapter 1559: Guangyang Wang Tongguan, Crown Princess Qian
Zhao Shen's words made Zhao Ling's eyes tremble, and his face turned crimson! Of course she knew which bastard the emperor was talking about.
In fact, the reason why she entered the palace today was because she received the letter from Shen Tang, and she felt much relieved, so she entered the palace to see Zhao Shen.
Seeing the look on his sister's face, Zhao Shen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh! Naturally, he didn't want to mention that bastard in front of his sister, but he also knew that his sister had been feeling a little depressed for a while, so he spoke.
"By the way, some time ago, that guy also sent a lot of good medicines and tonics, one of which was for the queen, and one for you. Brother Huang was so busy at this time that he forgot about it. I’ll have someone bring it to you later!”
Zhao Ling nodded, "I heard that Brother Huang has been extremely busy recently! Although state affairs are of paramount importance, Brother Huang must also protect himself! Now that the Queen is ill and bedridden, everything falls on Brother Huang. If If the imperial brother is ill, wouldn't Chao Gang be shocked?"
"Don't worry, sister!"
Zhao Shen grinned, and the concern for his sister was very useful. "They are just trivial matters. The civil and military affairs of the court have their own affairs! No, that boy Shen Tang has just solved a serious problem for me!"
"Although I am not happy that this boy covets my sister, I have to say that this boy is capable! In the future, I am afraid I will really have to grant him a throne!"
Although the Song Dynasty was not a system of enfeoffment, there were quite a lot of thrones enfeoffed! Counting at least fifty or sixty, of course, most of them were granted posthumously.
For example, during the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mighty king Shi Shouxin, King Zhao Pu of Han, King Cao Bin of Jiyang, etc.
Including Wang Anshi, Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi, who made great contributions, they were also awarded the title of king.
In addition, many people were crowned kings while they were still alive.
For example, during the time of Taizu, Qian Chu, a monarch of the Wuyue Kingdom after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, was named King Deng.
One of the six thieves, the famous eunuch Tong Guan, was named King of Guangyang.
Tong Guan was able to grow from a small minister to a privy envoy. Although he was slightly inferior to some of his peers, he was still outstanding.
When he first came into contact with the military, he served as a military supervisor. When Fang La later started a rebellion, he was directly promoted to the position of Xuanfu envoy to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huainan, where he commanded troops to suppress Fang La.
It was also because of his contribution to suppressing Fang La that he was named Duke of Chu.
As for him being able to be crowned king, it was actually a trick.
When the Jin State attacked the Liao State, although the Jin State's soldiers and horses were fierce, the disadvantage was that there were too few soldiers and horses.
After all, the Jurchen clan was not that big at the time. After conquering such a large land, the Jin Kingdom divided its troops to garrison, and the number of troops that could be used was very few.
In fact, if the Song Dynasty at that time had the brains to give certain support to the Liao Kingdom and let the Jin Kingdom and Liao Dynasty have internal conflicts, even if they could not reap the benefits, they would still have great benefits.
After all, although the Jin Kingdom had a fierce military force, its troops were too few! However, the Song Dynasty court saw that the Liao Kingdom was in danger and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge.
The Song-Jin Maritime Alliance agreed that the Song Dynasty would attack Yanjing, and the Jin Kingdom would attack Zhongjing! So Tong Guan led the Northern Expedition, but the 200,000-strong army returned in defeat.
However, Tong Guan also had his own way. He contacted the Kingdom of Jin privately and asked the Kingdom of Jin to help attack Yanjing, and then redeemed it with millions of dollars.
It can be said that the land of Yanyun has been on his mind since the time of Boss Zhao. During the Shenzong period, he even left a legacy: Those who recover the land of Yan will be rewarded with fiefs and kings!
Only then did Tong Guan take advantage!
Although there are coincidences, if Shen Tang can really take back Bianzhou from the Song Dynasty in the future, it is really not unusual for him to be awarded a prince for such a great achievement.
Zhao Ling was startled at first, but then her eyes trembled like water. She remembered clearly that Shen Tang personally told him that if an official could grant him the title of king, he would not agree, but would ask to marry her because of his great achievements! Think about yourself The lover was working hard for their future, and Zhao Ling felt that his heart was filled with passion and tenderness, and he wished he could fly to Shen Tang's side.
The brother and sister chatted for more than an hour, and Zhao Ling ate with Zhao Shen again before standing up to leave.
"By the way, brother Huang, I heard that the prince was feeling ill. I wonder if he is fine now?"
"What prince!"
Zhao Shen frowned, "In front of other people, he is the prince, but you are his little aunt!"
After scolding, Zhao Shen continued, "I just said I felt a little cold before, but the imperial doctor has given me medicine several times, and it's still not good!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Shen also had a headache! Of his three sons, only the eldest son was stable, pure and filial.
I thought it was just a minor illness, but it has been more than a month and it has never recovered! The imperial doctor changed me several times, and I don’t know how much good medicine I used.
When I came to say hello to myself two days ago, my body was still weak.
"It just so happened that I had an appointment with Mr. Qian about some female celebrities, and I will go to the East Palace later to have a look!"
Zhao Ling said.
Qian is the official wife of Zhao Ming. She was the wife of Guangguo before she was granted the title of crown prince, and now she is the crown prince.
Qian is similar in age to Zhao Ling, and has a straightforward personality. He has a good relationship with the elder Zhao Ling on weekdays.
"Well! Go, go! By the way, let my brother come to the palace tomorrow. I have some things to discuss with him!"
Zhao Shen said dotingly.
After leaving Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Ling called Qingqiu and a group of maids who were waiting outside the hall, and headed towards the East Palace.
When they arrived outside the East Palace, Qian was already waiting after receiving the news!
"Why is my little aunt here?"
Zhao Shen's family concept is very strong, and it is even more vividly reflected in Zhao Ling! His sons and daughters rarely call Zhao Ling the royal family. Instead, they are called aunts like ordinary people.
First, Qian is similar in age to Zhao Ling, and their temperaments are also similar.
Moreover, it is also because of Zhao Ling's identity! Although Zhao Ling is only a princess, everyone knows that Zhao Shen loves this sister! If he gets along with this little aunt, his husband will have more opportunities in front of the emperor. .
After all, Zhao Ling's words may be more effective than those of many ministers.
Moreover, although the matter between Zhao Ling and Shen Tang has not been made public, it is not a secret! This matter is naturally against the rules, but Zhao Shen pretends to be deaf and dumb, and the civil and military officials cannot say much.
And with Shen Tang's current status, even the prince must pay attention to him.
Therefore, on weekdays, as long as she has free time, she will go and talk to Zhao Ling. After all, lady diplomacy has not been a strange thing since ancient times. How can she not understand that she can become a princess?
Moreover, during this period, the princess died of illness, and Qian ignored etiquette and went directly to accompany Zhao Ling as her granddaughter-in-law! Although this move made many people in the Ministry of Rites unhappy, and even Shangshu participated in the performance of the crown prince Zhao Ming, but, Zhao Shen felt extremely satisfied with this.
