This kind of evaluation is not uncommon among ministers, and it is not all out of compliment to the emperor. In fact, many ministers think so.
First of all, Mu Anzhi's throne was equivalent to being snatched. Although the ministers in Guan Nei must have weighed their own considerations at the time, and then actively or passively accepted the ascension of this vassal king who had a less peaceful background to the throne.
However, except for the battle of entering the pass, Mu Anzhi led his troops into the imperial capital without any major battles. Even if there were places where he refused to open the city gate, Mu Anzhi mostly used coercion and inducement rather than conquering with war. He had great influence on the world.
Showed considerable kindness.
Secondly, Mu Anzhi has always been courteous and kind to the Emperor since he ascended the throne. Although the father and son have never met again, the Emperor's provision in the palace, the concubines and servants serving the Emperor, Mu Anzhi himself did not choose a concubine, but he did not forget to give the Emperor every year.
Adding a few new people is such a considerate and filial act. Furthermore, when the royal family went to pay their respects to the Supreme Emperor, or when the Supreme Emperor went hunting and cruising, Mu An showed no sign of fear, and everything went according to the Emperor's wishes.
Thirdly, among the old ministers left behind by the Supreme Emperor, with the exception of Lu Zhongyang’s party who were extremely treasonous and unforgivable and deserved to be killed, Mu Anzhi did not wantonly implicate him, nor did he purge them on a large scale, causing many to waver in neutrality. Those who were close to the deposed prince Mu Qizhi
Those officials were retained. Even if they resigned, their lives were still there. This was the mercy of the emperor.
Fourth, after Mu Anzhi ascended the throne, Qingliu was a little worried that the wealthy family of Shixun was too powerful. Unexpectedly, Mu Anzhi did not care about the origin of officials. He always looked at people directly. If the officials were incompetent, it would be useless even if they were born in the royal family. In this regard,
It is natural for a poor family to let go of the little worry in the chest. In fact, even relatives have no objection. Don't underestimate your relatives. Except for those poor families who are about to collapse, there is no prominent family who does not pay attention to the education of their children.
Even with a prominent family and a first-class education, if the children are still incapable of educating them, as long as the relatives are clear-minded, they will not push the incompetent children into high positions. They know better than anyone else the risks of being in a high position.
Therefore, in summary, it is not surprising that Mu Anzhi was able to stabilize the situation very quickly after taking the throne.
Of course, this is all from the perspective of outsiders.
Li Yuhua knew Mu Anzhi better than anyone else. Her third brother sneered three times after hearing the news that the former Prime Minister Pei had called Pei Ruyu back into the family, and then went out for a walk. Mu Anzhi was looking at the imperial garden.
After sitting by the lake for a while, I asked the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty to come over and ask about the house in the imperial capital. It must be regulated by the Marquis Mansion, the location must be good, the house must be good, and the most important thing is that it must be close to the palace but far from the Pei family.
The first three items are easy to satisfy, but the last one is a bit difficult. You must know that when Pei became the first assistant, the Pei family's house was given by the emperor. In order to facilitate the first assistant's entry into the palace, the Supreme Emperor specially selected the palace for the first assistant.
A nearby house. If it is far from the Pei family, then it is also far from the palace.
The autumn breeze was a bit chilly, and several cranes were walking gracefully by the lake. Mu Anzhi, wearing a fox fur, stood by the lake watching the remaining lotuses. After thinking about it, the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty knew that there was only one new marquis given to him by the court.
The title is Marquis Bai Muxiang, the wife of Pei Shangshu of the Ministry of War. However, Marquis Bai has already given titles and rewards, so why did your Majesty think of conferring a mansion again.
Didn't I hear that Mr. Pei received strong support from all the clan elders to reopen the ancestral hall, and added Mr. Pei back to the family tree to become a family?
It is said that Prime Minister Pei's skill also amazed the emperor's consort of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s hard to ask the Tang Dynasty Prince Consort, even if he was given a house by Marquis Bai, why would he choose someone far away from the Pei family?
He thought about the high-class houses currently in the hands of the Secretary of the Interior, "There are ready-made houses that were returned by the former Lan Marquis Mansion. The servants have visited the houses and found that the houses and houses are all very good. The house given by Lan Marquis was only a short time ago.
It is further away from the palace, but it is not out of place. Cars and horses can enter the palace in half an hour. Although they are all in Nancheng, east and west of Prime Minister Pei's Mansion, it takes an hour for cars and horses. There are still a few places that comply with the regulations of the Marquis Mansion.
Most of them are houses that were taken back by the clan after they were demoted to nobility. There is also a house that was used by Duke Wen Zhen. That house is not small, but unfortunately it is not of the Marquis style. I am afraid it needs to be slightly modified. There is also the former Lu family's house. Your Majesty.
, you still have to make an idea. That house was originally the old residence of Duke Liu. That day you rewarded Duke Du, but Duke Du said that the house was too big and had many oversteps, so he insisted on returning half of it. In fact, Duke Liu's residence was too big.
There is a reason. When the late Duke Du was still the Princess of Dingguo, Princess Dingguo's palace was built next to the Duke's palace, so they were placed in one place. At that time, they all rewarded the Lu family, but now Xiao Du Guogong only accepts the former Duke.
In the place of Liu Gong's Mansion, what is left is the style of the Princess Mansion. If we change the incongruities in the mansion, we can live in it now, and it is also a good and first-class house."
Mu Anzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's take Princess Dingguo's place. Xiao Du and Ruyu are also very good friends, and living in good neighborliness is also a good thing. Besides, the house is easy to be damaged if no one lives in it. Bai Hou has done a great job, so I can't bear to admire the old house.
.Since the time of Jinguohou, no woman in our dynasty has been granted the title of marquis. Baihou has made outstanding achievements. Although he was given a title, land, gold and silver, he forgot to give them a house. Earlier, their house was rewarded by the Supreme Emperor. Now think about it,
It doesn't suit Bai Hou's status, and it doesn't suit my wishes either. Just this place." Then, he also found a far-fetched excuse for himself, "In the noisy area of Prime Minister Pei's Mansion, Bai Hou has gone, and it's his mother-in-law and his mother-in-law.
The great-grandmother is both a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law, so how can she have the heart to develop weapons and weapons? There must be such a pure world so that Bai Hou can devote himself wholeheartedly to serving the court."
"What's more, after all, Marquis Bai has great achievements, and living in the Pei family is not convenient for getting along with his family. Could it be that she wakes up at dawn and dusk, and she gives Prime Minister Pei a junior gift, and then Prime Minister Pei returns the gift to the Marquis? No
Okay, okay, I'd better take the trouble to solve this problem for them." Mu Anzhi became more and more fluent as he spoke, and the more he realized that he was considerate and considerate.
The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty smiled and agreed, "Your Majesty said so, so I let them prepare."
Mu An's advice is, "Do this first."
"Yes, I understand." The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty said in his heart, knowing that you and Prime Minister Pei are at odds with each other. However, did His Majesty separate Shangshu Pei and his wife from the Pei family out of selfishness, or did he not want the Pei family to become too big? After all,
If nothing unexpected happens, Shangshu Pei will definitely be able to compete for the position of chief minister after he joins the cabinet at such a young age. The Pei family has two generations of chief ministers and ministers, and there is also a minister like Bai Hou, who is noble at one level and wealthy at the other.
After a long time, it is inevitable that the tail will be too big to fall off. Your Majesty can trust Pei Shangshu and Baihou couple, but you may not trust the Pei family.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Tang's consort's mind. He bowed and went to do his errand.
Mu Anzhi was very happy that he had done this well. Seeing that it was almost noon, he went to Ci'en Palace to see his sons.
The sun was getting warmer. Mu Anzhi took off his cloak and threw it to Xiao Yi. He had never seen Old Fox Pei like this. He would be expelled from the family when there was danger. Now that he has returned home in fine clothes, he immediately called people back. Ruyu was embarrassed to say
What, he will not sit back and watch his old friend suffer! Seeing that the third generation of the Pei family is the most outstanding one, his old friend is the most outstanding. Returning to the Pei family is of great benefit to the Pei family. The old tree is old, and the new tree can block the wind.
Yu has someone to protect him, but what good will it do to his old friend? This is not how he takes advantage.
Of course, it is unrealistic for Pei Ruyu to sever ties with the Pei family, but old fox Pei can't be too beautiful.
Empress Dowager Lan didn't say anything when she heard the decision. After Mu Anzhi ascended the throne, the old man no longer expressed his opinions on the government affairs. In addition to advising Li Yuhua on palace affairs, he focused on raising his great-grandson to live a long life. Pei Ruyu returned to the family, even though
Living in two separate places, Pei Ruyu's direct eldest son is undoubtedly prominent, and the side branches are just for the sake of fawning over each other, which is not as convenient as living in the same place. There is nothing else. Since Bai Hou has been given a title, it is not appropriate to mix in the same place. After all, the generations
The titles, titles, and orders are a bit confusing.
Empress Dowager Lan said, "Since you are doing this, why don't you do it as a favor to Marquis Bai? I heard that Marquis Bai lost his father when he was young, and it was his widowed mother, Mrs. Bai, who worked hard to raise Marquis Bai. Mrs. Bai
Although she remarried, mother and daughter have been dependent on each other for many years. Why not choose a house near Baihou Mansion and give it to Mrs. Bai and his wife? This would not only fulfill the mother-daughter relationship between Baihou and Mrs. Bai, but also fulfill the love of Dr. Pei Shangshu.
The love between uncle and nephew."
"The Imperial Grandmother is still considerate of things." Mu Anzhiguang was thinking about how to vent his anger to his old friend. He forgot about Pei Qishu and Aunt Hongmei for a moment. Hearing what the Imperial Grandmother said, he was sincerely convinced. He asked Xiao Yi to pass a message to the Department of Internal Affairs. Tang Prince Consort
And it was done properly. After all, there were many old family members living in the Lu family before and after them, and they relied on the Lu family to make trouble and make money. Now that the Lu family has collapsed, it is a blessing for these people to be safe, and the house has basically been destroyed.
I searched, and some of them were vacant houses nearby.
Empress Dowager Lan still cared about Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Pei and Empress Dowager Lan were sisters of the same race. When she was young, Mrs. Pei was born in the direct branch of Lanhou Mansion, while Empress Dowager Lan was just a poor side branch. Later, Emperor Mu Xuan ascended the throne.
There was no support from the Pei family. After the Empress Dowager Lan waited until her son came into his own, she felt proud and happy when she saw Mrs. Pei, who was born directly.
Now that they are all old, Lan Houfu was dismissed from office, so as to keep peace. The eldest branch of the Lan family was completely ruined, and Mrs. Pei was naturally sad. Empress Dowager Lan also felt pity for the eldest branch of the family. Empress Dowager Lan's natal family
The Duke Lan's Mansion is still prominent now because she is still here and there is still a Duke in her natal family. The day she is gone, this title will also be gone.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Lan inevitably felt a bit desolate.
Fortunately, at their age, they have experienced a lot and seen a lot. It is a pity that the mother's family failed, but the children and grandchildren can support the family.
In fact, the matter of granting a mansion is not too sudden. With Bai Muxiang's status, it is no longer appropriate to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The reason why Pei Ruyu and his family were not granted a mansion before returned to the throne and lived in the house given by the previous Emperor.
Knowing that Prime Minister Pei suddenly asked Pei Ruyu to return to the clan, as Mu Anzhi thought, the benefits to Pei Ruyu were very limited, mainly beneficial to the Pei family. Pei Ruyu was originally the successor of the patriarch trained by Prime Minister Pei.
When Pei Ruyu came out of the family, Prime Minister Pei inevitably took the situation into consideration. Now that Pei Ruyu has returned to the imperial capital directly from the Sixth Department of Long Zhi Gong Guan Ju, the elders of the Pei family are crying and demanding that Prime Minister Pei hurry up and send Pei Shangshu to the throne every day.
Take it back.
Not only did they cry and complain to Prime Minister Pei, but they also went to Pei Ruyu's house in droves to show that they had tried every means to prevent Pei Ruyu from leaving the clan and never fell into trouble. Pei Ruyu was working as an errand at the Yamen during the day, and Bai Muxiang did not receive male guests, and then there were clan members.
When the middle daughter's family members came over, they were all of high seniority. Bai Muxiang didn't care about these matters in the clan. It was Pei Ruyu who had to make the decision. She simply took her two sons to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen.
The Empress Dowager welcomed the children of the Pei family when they entered the palace. Pei Xiu looked like a young adult. When she saw him, the Empress Dowager thought of his father when he was a child, and couldn't help laughing. Besides, Pei Xiu was older and could take care of several children.
Some of the children gathered together in a pile, and they also had company.
The eldest princess Fengyang often comes here with her eldest grandson Li Xiaolang. They are all little guys close in age and play together.
Princess Fengyang's biological mother, Mrs. Yong'an Hou, sometimes brings her eldest granddaughter with her. Her eldest granddaughter is still young, so she won't take her out for the time being. This is the granddaughter of Princess Fengyang and the great-granddaughter of Empress Dowager Lan.
Miss Li was unanimously welcomed by the children, and Mu Anzhi also liked such cute and cute girls. He saw little Qilin running to Miss Li diligently, with her little fleshy fists fisted, and her eyes twitching.
It seemed that he was just holding back the bad water, and he thought he was pretending to be sincere and said, "Sister Big Niu, I will give you a good thing."
Little Miss Li asked, "What is it?"
Little Qilin said, "Stretch out your hand and I'll give it to you."
Little Miss Li stretched out her hand. Little Qilin put a big caterpillar in her hand into Little Miss Li's hand, then laughed and jumped away. He didn't run far, but waited to see Little Miss Li suffer.
She looked frightened. Unexpectedly, little girl Li was born in a general family, and her courage was inherited from her grandmother. She directly threw the twisting caterpillar to the ground with her backhand, crushed it with her foot, and then chased after the little Qilin. This girl was one step bigger than the little Qilin.
, the little girl grows up fast, is half a head taller than the little Qilin, and runs very fast. If she catches up with the little Qilin, she will get a beating.
Dahai was very anxious when he saw his brother being beaten by a little girl. He was not good at fighting, and this little girl was half a head taller than him, so she obviously couldn't beat him. It was simply Pei Xiu, Pei Xing, Dahai and Li Xiaolang who pulled him together to stop the beating.
The two people who were together separated.
Little Miss Li put her hands on her hips and asked Little Qilin, "Do you still dare to do evil?"
Little Qilin has always been honest, and he is very aware of current affairs. He said quickly, "I don't dare anymore. Sister Da Niu, I'll treat you to a cake to make amends."
"I'll treat you to it. It's my great-grandmother's cake, hum!" Miss Li was so awesome.
Little Qilin was very good at saying nice things, "Sister Big Niu, don't be angry. This was just a joke. If not, I'll make it up to you." He then imitated an adult and bowed to Little Miss Li twice.
Said, "Sister Big Niu, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Miss Li thought for a while, "Okay then."
Little Qilin took her hand and said, "Sister Big Niu, let's go play Cuju."
Miss Li is also a Cuju enthusiast, so she happily agreed.
The children were playing together again in a flash.
After playing during the day, the children went to bed early at night. Mu Anzhi and sister Yuhua complained about their son being beaten by a little girl, "Little Qilin, you can't even beat a little girl."
"There are no children who don't fight. Princess Chu often brings her great-granddaughter into the palace. She is the daughter of her second grandson. She is one year older than Xiao Qilin Dahai. She is a very quiet child. These naughty children
We made people cry three times in a long time, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to enter the palace anymore. It's just a big girl who has a good skin and can play with them."
Listening to sister Yuhua's words, Mu Anzhi couldn't help but laugh, "That's true. Fighting was common when we were children." He and Pei Ruyu also fought when he was a child. As for children, there are few who don't fight.
The couple chatted in the bed, and Li Yuhua took the opportunity to look at the clothes the children would wear tomorrow, "Sister Muxiang came to the palace today, and asked me to thank you."
"Why thank you?" Mu Anzhi didn't understand.
"It's about giving a house."
Mu Anzhi felt slightly happy, "Sister Muxiang knows my good intentions, did Ruyu say anything?"
"What can Pei Zhuangyuan say? Prime Minister Pei asked them to go back, can they not go back? Their yard is quite spacious in that mansion, but there are many people in the family and there are many things to do. Of course Sister Muxiang likes to live in a spacious mansion of her own.
, it’s his old lady, she can’t bear to part with her. I said it doesn’t matter, it’s the same if I pick the old man up to live there for a while. Sister Muxiang thinks the same way.”
Mu Anzhi suddenly became suspicious, "Isn't the old fox really going to live there?"
"What are you thinking about? The prime minister's house is full of children and grandchildren. Even if they go to the marquis' house, they can't stay there for a long time." Li Yuhua said, "Whether it's the house given to Aunt Hongmei by the Secretary of Internal Affairs, I heard from Sister Muxiang that it's a big house everywhere.
Aunt Hongmei has gone to check it out, and there is no need to make any repairs. You can just move in and live in it. Aunt Hongmei has already made arrangements for the move."
Mu Anzhi showed a satisfied look, "I told my uncle to choose a good place for Aunt Hongmei. The seventh uncle has been with her all the way and has made great contributions. However, it is too unfair for the seventh uncle to serve in the Imperial College."
"This is also Uncle Qi's own ambition. It's not a bad thing if the family is happy."
Mu Anzhi saw that his old friend and Sister Muxiang could feel his thoughtfulness, and occasionally caused some trouble for Pei Old Fox. He felt satisfied and fell asleep quickly.
Li Yuhua said in her heart that the third brother can be petty sometimes. Looking at what Pei had done in recent years, Pei Zhuangyuan himself didn't care much anymore, and the third brother was still avenging the injustice for Pei Zhuangyuan.
On the holiday, Pei Ruyu was not on duty at the palace. Early in the morning, he took his wife and children to Taiping Residence for breakfast, and then went to see the new house. The house was just a place where the rules were exceeded, and the door was changed before it could be used.
At present, Pei Ruyu is very popular in the court. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, a guard guard came forward to serve him attentively, and even gave Bai Muxiang a big gift. Pei Ruyu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "We are not in the court, so don't do this.
You're so verbose. Let's come over and see what you should be busy with. I'll help you."
"This is all a matter within the lower official position. Then I won't bother you, sir. If you see something that doesn't suit your needs, just give me an order, and they will change your order. It's just a matter of convenience."
"Okay, go ahead."
Pei Ruyu didn't need to be accompanied by officials from the Department of Internal Affairs. He just took a look around casually. This was originally the palace of Princess Dingguo, and the Lu family lived there for many years. Needless to say, it was luxurious. In the morning light, there was a layer of solemn and elegant Shenmen Palace.
On the corridor, the brackets and cornices set off the flowers, trees and flowing water. Occasionally, one or two birds chirped. The children burst into joy as soon as they saw the garden. They ran hand in hand to look at the trees, flowers, fish ponds, lotus boats, and raised their eyebrows.
The cheerful little voice called mom and dad to watch together.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"This house is really nice." Not to mention the white mud house where I lived in Northern Xinjiang, even the Prime Minister's Mansion in the imperial capital was not as charming as this house.
The couple walked towards the child. Pei Ruyu knew the origin of this house and said, "It was originally a princess's house, how can it be okay?"
Bai Muxiang whispered quietly into her husband's ear, "It shows that we are one of our own, His Majesty gave us such a good house."
There was a faint smile in Pei Ruyu's eyes. The people in his grandfather's clan were all looking forward to him returning to the family. Everyone was looking forward to hello to you, me, and everyone, and to his family being reunited. Those who were aggrieved for him, except Muxiang, were probably
We're old friends now.
He is not his grandfather, and his political ideals are different from those of his grandfather, and he is not someone willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the situation.
The second son Pei Xing's call rang out again, and the little boy couldn't help but ran over to hold his father's hand. In the morning light under the shade of flowers and trees, Pei Ruyu stood tall and tall, and his other hand naturally clasped with his wife's. His smile was as handsome as that of a celestial being.
"Let's go and watch the fish."
There is a kind of friendship that is deeper and warmer than family affection.
