"Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Tong?" Yun thought for a while and suddenly realized: "You want to talk about Li Yonglin, right? Why, my brother knew that the couple was in Suzhou when the rebellion happened. Why, they also became righteous men and helped put down the rebellion?"
"Although Li Yonglin and her husband did not personally go into battle to kill the rebels, they happened to be in the Li family's house with Xiao and the Kuaiji man when the rebellion happened. The Kuaiji man rushed back to Uncle Twenty-two's house when he heard the killing cry.
Although Li Taiyuan was determined to send his clansmen back to work with Kuaiji Man to achieve great success, he was worried about the lives of his clansmen and hesitated. At this time, it was Li Yonglin who firmly persuaded her father that he made up his mind to send two hundred clansmen to save Twenty-Two.
Uncle, he repelled the rebels before the soldiers of the Suzhou Guard arrived. So Li Yonglin also made a contribution, third brother, you should reward her." Yunzhi said.
"How did you know this?" Yun asked. He did not suspect that Yun Zhi was lying, but he was curious about how she knew it. He had not made public what happened in Suzhou, and Yun Zhi was not a meddlesome person.
, even if you hear a little bit of rumors, you won’t ask more questions.
"Li Taiyuan asked Commander Qin to take Li Yonglin and his wife back to the capital, and told Commander Qin that their family would send people to rescue Uncle Twenty-two because of Li Yonglin's persuasion, and he wanted to take credit for her. The man from Kuaiji also said that Li Yonglin did speak out at that time
After persuading Li Taiyuan, Commander Qin agreed with Li Yonglin and his wife to enter the capital after discussing with the Suzhou magistrate and others. Commander Qin should also give the third brother a discount." Yunzhi said. Yun Zhi decided to publicly and officially disclose the Suzhou rebellion case, and severely punish the rebel Dan.
At the same time as Mo and others, they also wanted to call all those who had made meritorious deeds to the capital to receive them in person and award them face-to-face, so Li Taiyuan and others could enter the capital. Otherwise, except for a very few people, no one else could leave Suzhou City.
"Li Yonglin will go talk to you later?" Yun asked again.
"According to the custom, a person who comes to Beijing to receive an award cannot meet other people before being received by you, Third Brother. How could she go to see her sister in advance? It was my sister who overheard it when she went to the Li family's shop to buy jewelry and talked to Aunt Twenty-Two.
I just found out." Yunzhi said.
Yun didn't ask any more questions, but thought about instructing Miaojin to ask Aunt Twenty-Two (Princess An is Miaojin's biological sister) if she had talked to Yunzhi about the Li family. He believed that Yunzhi did not dare to go there
Whether Li Yonglin lied about her meritorious service, it doesn't matter even if she exaggerates Li Yonglin's merits, as long as Li Taiyuan admits it. But whether Li Yonglin ignored the rules and told Yunzhi the matter is hard to say.
"If Li Yonglin really persuades Li Taiyuan to send people to rescue the 22nd uncle, then of course my brother will reward her. She is a woman and cannot be given a title, so my brother will make her the village monarch." Yun thought in his heart and said something.
said.
"Sister knows that third brother is the most particular about fairness." Hearing the title that Yun planned to give to Li Yonglin, she immediately became happy and said with a smile. According to the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the princess is the princess, the prince's daughter and the county prince's legitimate daughter.
As the princess, the princess's concubine is the county princess, the prince's granddaughter is the county monarch, the prince's great-granddaughter is the county monarch, and the prince's great-great-granddaughter is the township monarch. The reform did not change this series of female titles, but because there were too few titles for women
, it does not completely correspond to the sixteenth-class title for men, and the rural monarch only enjoys the treatment of the third-class title. In most cases, this series of women's titles are only given to the clan, but they can also be given to women with other surnames. For example, Xu Da was named after his death.
He was posthumously granted the title of County Prince, and his three daughters who were not yet married at the time were all granted the title of County Lord. Of course, they later all had titles much higher than that of the County Lord.
But what Yunzhi is most happy about is not that the reward is high enough, but that Li Yonglin is granted the title of Township Lord instead of the title of Shuren, which is of similar rank. Although the title of Shuren is about the same rank as Township Lord, as the name suggests, she also knows that in most cases It is a title given to the wife or mother of an official to commend the man's contribution. If Yun was to confer Li Yonglin a lady, many people might think that it was because of Xiao Yong's contribution rather than her own merit. But if Yun was to confer such a title, it would be I can tell everyone who hears that it is Li Yonglin, and she is the woman who made the contribution. That's why Yun Zhi is so happy.
"When has Third Brother ever been unfair?" Yun said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, third brother is always the fairest." Yunzhi agreed with a smile.
The brother and sister joked a bit more. Yun wanted to go to Qianqing Palace to comment on the memorial. Yun Zhi glanced out the window, stood up and said with a smile: "Third brother, my sister wants to see my mother and concubine."
"You can go as long as you want, but do you still need my brother's permission to visit your mother?" Yun said with a smile.
"My sister wants to stay in the palace tonight." Yunzhi said again.
"Feel free to live there." Yun said with a smile, "But what should Wuji do? Let him sleep in the imperial city?"
"Who cares about him!" Yunzhi said with a smile: "If he is willing to wait in the imperial city, he will wait in the imperial city. If he is not willing to wait, just go home and pick me up tomorrow. Anyway, he is in charge of the bank's head office now. , there is no need to go to court, and there is no need to go to the Yamen to work if you have nothing to do."
"What you do is not good for the relationship between husband and wife." Yun laughed.
"What are you talking about? You're smiling so happily?" At this time, Xiyao walked in and sat next to Yun, asking with a smile.
"It's like this..." Yunzhi repeated what she just said, and said with a smile: "When dealing with your husband, you can't always be too kind to him, otherwise he will get in trouble. Sister-in-law, you Sometimes I have to be stricter with Third Brother."
"Your third brother is so kind to your sister-in-law, how could your sister-in-law be so harsh on him?" Xiyao replied with a smile, but her smile was not natural.
"That's right. There is no better man in the world than Third Brother. My sister-in-law shouldn't feel bad at all." Yunzhi didn't pay attention to Xiyao's expression and sighed. In terms of respecting women, she really didn't see it. She has done better than Yun. Many men are very respectful to her, but she does it because of her status, not because these men respect women.
However, she immediately felt that what she said was inappropriate, even more inappropriate than joking. At this time, she also realized that the atmosphere at the scene had become a bit gloomy, so she made a few more jokes, and then left to visit her. 's mother.
"Yunzhi will rest in the palace tonight, please remember to make arrangements in advance." Yun told Xiyao.
"I remember." Xiyao agreed softly.
But Yun listened to her words, paused and then said: "Xiyao's husband knows that you still have grudges about Siqi, but, hey." He didn't know how to continue. Although Xiyao behaved as usual , even saw that Lan Siqi's tone of voice was similar to before, but he could feel that it was different from the past.
Xiyao didn't speak. She didn't know what to say, and there was no point in lying. The room suddenly became quiet.
"What are you doing Min'er?" After a while, Yun asked.
"I'm playing with Daiwen. They have a good relationship, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have endless things to talk about," Xiyao said.
"By the way, talking about Dai Wen, what exactly are you talking about when your mother-in-law enters the palace today?" Yun suddenly remembered this matter. "When I asked Min'er, Min'er said a lot, but she didn't say what happened when her mother-in-law entered the palace. do what."
"My mother, the reason for entering the palace this time is for Dai Wen's marriage." When mentioning this matter, Xiyao also put aside everything else, with a worried look on her face.
"Daiwen, what's wrong?"
"None of the people who are close to my family are willing to get married. Those who are willing to get married are not favored by my sister-in-law. I was still young two years ago. I don't think so. Daiwen is already seventeen this year.
After settling on a family, my family became anxious. My mother came to the palace recently to talk to me about this matter. She probably wanted me to find a decent family. But how can I do something like marriage so casually? Concubine
I’m also worried.”
"Why, my husband thinks Daiwen has a good temperament, why are the people from the right family unwilling to get married?" Yun asked doubtfully. He has met Daiwen many times, and he doesn't think she has a bad temperament, nor is she good-looking, nor is she a good person.
She is even more generous. Why is no one willing to get married? Could it be that she has some hidden disease that she doesn't know about? But he doesn't know about it, so how do others know?
"The thing is like this. When they were in a girls' school, when they were about nine or ten years old, they were organized to go horse riding. Because these little girls had never ridden a horse at that time, even if they had seen horses at home, they were a little scared.
She went to ride the horse cautiously. But Dai Wen was not afraid. On the contrary, the horse she rode seemed a little scared. Only Dai Wen performed best in that class. Later, for some reason, someone related Dai Wen's incident to
Queen Zetian contacted her and called her Xiao Wu Zetian. Later, although the person who first mentioned this nickname was severely punished by the concubine's order, the nickname was already spread. Although everyone did not dare to say it anymore on the surface, they still said it secretly.
And, moreover, Daiwen's behavior is indeed different from other little girls. Probably because she has lived in the palace for a long time. She is very similar to Min'er, but she is more calm and thinks things very carefully. And Queen Zetian is in the history books
There were similar records in the book, and everyone thought she looked more like Queen Zetian. Every noble family had their daughters studying in the women's school, and Daiwen's nickname was also known by the noble families. In this way, each family was getting married.
I was a little hesitant, and I hesitated and hesitated, but nothing happened." Xiyao said. The Queen Zetian in her words is Wu Zetian. Because Wu Zetian went to the emperor before her death to call her queen, Li Longji added the posthumous title after he succeeded to the throne.
She is the Holy Queen of Zetian, so Xiyao calls her Queen of Zetian.
"Let's not talk about whether Dai Wen is like Queen Zetian. Even if the family marries a daughter-in-law who is similar to Queen Zetian, what harm will it do to the family? Can she usurp the title?" Yun asked a little strangely. If so.
He just paid it off. If he married her as a crown princess, he would have to worry about her usurping the throne and killing the clan. But ministers like them, with the emperor above them, could not take away their title no matter what, so what did they have to worry about?
"Husband, not everyone thinks like you. Moreover, Queen Zetian's identity was first the concubine of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and later the empress of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. This has caused every family to have concerns. The most important thing is that every family has to choose a daughter-in-law.
Not only is Dai Wen the only candidate, but there are others with similar conditions, so Dai Wen was excluded." Xiyao said with a bitter smile. If every family could think like Yun, things would be much simpler.
"In this way," Yun pondered for a while, then said: "My mother-in-law wanted you to propose the marriage. I think it is inappropriate for my husband. Speaking of it, it seems that the Xue family is using power to suppress others. In the end, the in-laws did not get married, but they did.
Enemy."
"I think so too." Xiyao continued to smile bitterly. Marriage accusation is a double-edged sword. Although the marriage can be achieved, it may not bring the two families who are accused of marriage closer to each other. Especially her sister-in-law, because she is the queen, she is angry.
Gao, no one with the same title as Xiyao's father looked down on him, but how many dukes were there? They were all the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and they might not be worse than the Xue family in terms of holy family members.
"Of course, there are also families suitable for marriage. All the older princes, princes, princes, and princes are studying in the capital, and as the husband is the head of the clan, it is reasonable and reasonable to arrange marriages for the younger members of the family." Yun added.
"Assigning marriage to the clan's family? Your husband is not afraid of Daiwen..." Xiyao didn't finish her words, but Yun understood what she meant. "Don't worry about your husband. They still have the emperor above them, who can't usurp power.
Besides, most of the princes will not have feudal states, so there is no need to worry."
"County Prince." Xiyao muttered. According to her understanding of her sister-in-law, even the Princess and Princess may not be willing to do so. However, 'If my husband chooses the County Prince, she cannot help but not be willing to do so.'
"Husband, you don't know how to use Daiwen to get married, do you?" Xiyao suddenly thought of something and joked.
"Don't tell me, if Daiwen really looks like Queen Zetian, she is indeed suitable for marriage." Yun Ye answered with a smile, and then said: "But I can't marry as a husband; even if we marry, Daiwen's status is not enough
.People from large countries in the past were at least the daughters of the clan, such as Princess Jincheng marrying Tubo. As for small countries, how can it be worth arranging a marriage for the husband personally? "
"If a vassal king who enfeoffs overseas marries his daughter or granddaughter to a foreign general who has surrendered, the husband will not interfere too much, and this practice may not be considered a marriage; but the husband will not arrange a marriage, and no one is worthy of arranging a marriage for the husband." Yun said.
Finally said.
"In this case, if I like the prince or prince of a certain family, I will come and tell my husband, and if he thinks it is good, I will marry him." Xiyao said with a bright smile.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this. But don't just think that there is no hope for other noble families with similar status. There may be families who are willing to get married," Yun said again.
"I understand." Xiyao said again.
After talking about this, the couple said a few more words. Yun got up and went to Qianqing Palace to comment on the memorial. Xiyao got up and walked out together. She also wanted to go to other rooms to take care of palace affairs. After walking a few steps, Xiyao
He remembered something again and said: "Husband, after resting, the prince of Joseon and his younger brother got up, and kept muttering about the gift from husband. He said that it was probably Ren Yuan who was choosing a few books in the study. If it was the gift from husband to Joseon.
It’s not like this. It would be better for my husband to talk to them as soon as possible.”
"Don't worry, your husband's reward to North Korea will be more than they think." Yun said with a smile.
