The first thousand one hundred and forty-seven chapters
In March of the 23rd year of Qingzong, Su's army captured the capital, the Li family was captured, and Emperor Qingzong committed suicide, marking the fall of the Li dynasty.
In September of the same year, Princess Yanran ascended the throne, and everyone celebrated. The country was named Su, and she was called the Queen of Recovery!
The Queen of Resurgence ascended the throne and issued six edicts in succession.
The first way: all the old officials of the Su Dynasty who were persecuted should be rehabilitated. At the same time, the old officials of the Li Dynasty, if they have surrendered loyally, will let bygones be bygones.
The second way: Feng Su Jue as a first-class Duke of the country, a marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and a hereditary first-class dukedom.
The third way: the Protector of the Qin State, one person is superior and ten thousand people are inferior!
…
In the imperial city!
Su Yanran looked at the edict in Leng Yu's hand with a complicated expression, "Isn't he willing to accept it?"
"Miss, Mr. Qin said that he deserves the position of Imperial Master." Leng Yu replied.
Su Yanran walked to the edge of the pond, and Xiaomei on the side quickly followed with a jade plate on which was placed fish food for the carp.
"Three years ago, the three of us were still in Su Zicheng, and I was a geisha in Cuiweiju. Three years later, I am the most noble person in the world, but I feel that I have lost a lot." Su Ruoyan caught him.
Throw a handful of fish food into the pond.
"Miss, you were originally the daughter of the royal family, but you just fell into trouble among the people. Now you are getting back what belongs to you." Xiaomei said from the side.
"You will comfort me. I know that many people are talking about me among the people."
"Those people are just jealous. In my opinion, Marshal Su should catch them all and kill them all. Miss, although you are in trouble in Cuiweiju, your body is as pure as ice."
"There are more than tens of millions of people in the world. If you want to do this, will all the people in the world have to be killed?" Su Yanran looked at Xiaomei and sprinkled all the fish food on the jade plate.
He asked again:
"Tell me, what are the ministers talking about recently? Do you have any news about your PHS?"
"Miss, the ministers have been talking recently, saying that you, Miss, have already passed your 20th anniversary and are now a noble person. Whether it is for the continuation of the dynasty or to set an example, you should...should..."
"What should I do?" Su Yanran glanced at Xiaomei, "You are so hesitant, will I eat you again?"
"It's time to choose a concubine." Xiaomei went all out and continued: "And those ministers also said that because of the young lady's identity, a man with both political integrity and talent should be selected to enter the harem and marry you, young lady.
.”
"It's not just that." Su Yanran said quietly: "I heard that these ministers unanimously decided to recommend Marshal Su to the palace. Is this the case?"
"Miss, this is true. In fact, those ministers are right. There are many people in the world who are worthy of Miss. I think Marshal Su is the only one who can help Miss you to restore the country. He is loyal to Miss and has the ability."
"In terms of age, she is about the same age as the lady. I think she is really a good match for the lady." Xiaomei replied.
"I'm afraid these ministers are not just thinking about this."
Su Yanran sneered, "What these ministers are thinking is, what is the propriety of a woman being the emperor? Once I get married, I will have children and live behind the scenes, and our Marshal Su will supervise the administration."
At the end of the sentence, Su Yanran's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent. Unexpectedly, she had just ascended the throne, and some people were already impatient.
Xiaomei felt a chill in her heart when she saw her young lady's expression, and said quickly: "Miss, Marshal Su will never think so, and young lady, don't forget, when the late emperor gave the jade pendant to the Su family, he was saving it for the Su family.
The prince and the young lady’s thoughts on their engagement.”
"No need to say any more, I have my own opinion in my heart." Su Yanran interrupted Xiaomei and looked at Leng Yu, "How are the preparations?"
"Miss, the situation is not good. Su Jue has a high prestige in the army. Many generals in the army are from his confidants. I am afraid that in the army, Su Jue's orders are more effective than your edicts, miss."
"In addition, most of the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty support Su Jue's entry into the palace. I have received news that Su Jue will entertain the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Marshal's Mansion tonight to celebrate his thirtieth birthday."
Xiaomei listened to the conversation between her young lady and Leng Yu, with a shocked expression on her face, and asked anxiously: "Miss, what do you want to do? Are you planning to deal with Marshal Su?"
"Xiaomei, have you ever heard of a saying?" Su Yanran looked at Xiaomei, "When a minister's prestige exceeds that of the emperor, his achievements will overwhelm the emperor."
"But Marshal Su controls the country's troops. If you want to deal with Marshal Su, miss, what will happen if Marshal Su rebels?"
This is a very real problem. Although Su Yanran is the emperor, the power of the world's military is in the hands of Su Jue. If Su Jue is willing, he can rebel at any time. I believe his subordinates are very willing.
After all, if Su Jue does not rebel, he is just a prince, and his subordinates will be protected at most. But if Su Jue raises an army and rebels, his subordinates will be the merits of the dragon. When the time comes, it will not be a problem to become a prince and break the earth.
.
"So, Miss needs someone's help." Leng Yu answered from the side.
…
The Marshal's Mansion was brightly lit, and in front of the mansion, there was a lot of traffic. Official sedans were lined up from the front of the mansion to the east entrance of the street. At the west street entrance, there was a column of war horses parked, which was comparable to the grand ceremony of a court meeting.
"The Minister of Rites, Wang Shangshu, has arrived!"
"Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has arrived!"
The servants of the Marshal's Mansion announced at the door, and ministers were welcomed into the mansion one by one. Of course, those who could enjoy the notification treatment were all officials of the second rank or above. As for those below the second rank, they could only leave gifts and enter the mansion themselves.
The third-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, the doormen of the Marshal's Mansion, and those officials below the second rank all had to smile with them, and many petty officials even secretly stuffed money into the sleeves of these doormen.
Yama is easy to meet, but little devils are difficult to deal with. That’s the truth. The most important thing is that they, small officials, can only be arranged by the doorman. Who doesn’t want to know a few big shots in the officialdom? If the doorman
Once you are satisfied, arrange a good seat. The wine table is the best place to build relationships.
Of course, these small officials do not expect to sit at the same table with officials of higher rank than them, but officials of the same rank are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Those who have backers and come from big families are the highest and occupy some
Important positions, those in the oil and water department are superior, and so on...
The Marshal's Mansion covers an area of nearly a thousand acres. There are hundreds of tables for banquets in the front yard alone, and there are three more tables in the hall. Of course, those who can enter the hall are ministers and ministers from all over the country who stomp their feet and the whole officialdom will be shaken.
Military general.
"General, although you are now the Grand Marshal of the Army, I am still accustomed to calling you General. I wish you, General, a long life and eternal fame."
After three rounds of drinking, there was a table of generals, and a general stood up. This was Su Jue's old subordinate. He was Su Jue's deputy general when he was in Su Zicheng, and now he is also the general guarding the capital.
However, as soon as this person said this, many ministers at the table of civil servants frowned slightly. The four words "Longevity without Borders" were obviously a little too far. Only one person in the world can enjoy this congratulation, and that is today.
His Majesty.
However, Su Jue didn't know whether he drank too much or didn't pay attention. He raised his glass and drank happily.
"The Marshal saved Kuangran and supported our Su Dynasty. He was deeply trusted by the Holy Spirit and deeply respected by the people of Dasu. When I returned to the city today, I found that the people in the capital were setting off firecrackers to celebrate the Marshal's birthday. Many people even spontaneously went there
Let's burn incense and pray for the marshal in the temple." Another general stood up and said.
"That's right, the Great Buddha Temple is crowded today. The lower official's concubine also believes in Buddhism. When she came back from the Great Buddha Temple, she told her official that there were tens of thousands of people praying for the Marshal in the Great Buddha Temple today." The person who spoke was a second-rank minister.
"The general's prestige is unparalleled now, and his status among the people goes without saying. But General, Lao Xiong, I am now the father of seven children, and I also have a sixth concubine. General, you are inferior to Lao Xiong in this regard.
You bear me."
"You guy." Su Jue looked at his beloved general, shook his head helplessly, and picked up the wine glass on the table. His expression had a complicated look, but he soon calmed down.
Doesn't he want to get married and have children? However, there is no sign of that person until now. Is he really going to go to that point?
"Given our marshal's official position and prestige, which other woman in the Su Dynasty is worthy of our marshal?"
"Don't forget, everyone, our current Holy One is also single. Who can be worthy of His Majesty?"
The two military generals sang in harmony, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange. The civil servants fell silent, while Su Jue just stared at the wine glass in his hand and did not express any opinions on what his confidants said.
Talking about the Holy Emperor in private, and it is such a private matter, although many officials present have discussed it, but it is also a private discussion, and it is absolutely not dare to mention it in this kind of situation. This is called contempt for Long Yan, and he should be executed according to crime.
of.
However, no one or any minister dared to interrupt the two generals. Many ministers took a peek at Su Jue's expression and sat upright, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
"The Holy One is above ten thousand people, and our Marshal is also above one person and above ten thousand people. It can be said that they are a match made in heaven, and they couldn't be better matched."
"I remember that the Holy Emperor issued an edict that the person who deserves more than one person and more than ten thousand people is the Master of Qin. Although I have never seen the face of the Master of Qin, I don't even know who he is."
An official who was a little drunk suddenly interrupted. As soon as the official said this, he found that all the generals were staring at him, with murderous intent in their eyes. His face turned pale with fright, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He was also drunk.
After waking up for most of the time, I realized that I had said the wrong thing.
"Hey, it's so lively outside, why is no one talking here? This doesn't look like a birthday party." Just when the official was about to faint from fright, a voice came out of the hall, and a man in Tsing Yi smiled.
