When the government and the public asked to establish a queen, especially when there were generals at the level of commanders from other places meddling in the matter through Zha Zi, the Zhao family was naturally confused for a while, and after being confused, the first reaction was naturally to ask the know-it-all Yang Yizhong who came to see Zha Zi off.
Feng Erguan naturally refers to Feng Yi... In fact, Feng Yi was originally nicknamed Shishilang, but because Zhao Guan's family insisted on simplifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many famous internal servants were thrown into Yangzhou. For a long time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was
One of the chief guards, Lan Gui, was in charge of confidential documents and was responsible for contacting the former dynasty; the other chief guard, Feng Yi, was in charge of various chores in the harem. And because there were only two of them, the chief guard was always called a senior official, Feng Yi.
But he also got the title of Second Official.
As for why I asked Feng Yi, it was naturally because this guy had a criminal record.
"No, at least I don't know..." Yang Yizhong answered immediately without hesitation.
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly, but couldn't ask further: "So, this matter has nothing to do with Yanfu Palace?"
Only then did Yang Yizhong hesitate a little, and did not answer directly: "In the official family, I would like to say it bluntly, the population in the palace is limited, the money and food are limited, and many places have lost their internal and external income. Feng Erguan has suffered another loss, so he naturally looks clean.
But Yanfu Palace is not just for middle officials, it is not just Feng Erguan who has financial resources."
Zhao Jiu sneered and nodded.
By the way, Yang Yizhong's hint is already very obvious. There are only a few people in Yanfu Palace, and there are not many people with power and money. Except for the Zhao Guan family himself, there are two concubines, two imperial guards, and two middlemen.
Officials are considered to have energy, and since they are not middle-ranking officials, Yang Yizhong directly mentioned the word financial resources, which is basically equivalent to directly saying that they are two concubines supported by their own families.
After all, Mrs. Wu's family was a well-known rich man who had monopolized the pearl business in the capital. Once a luxury product like pearls was monopolized in Tokyo at that time, it basically meant that it had monopolized the pearl business in the entire Song Dynasty.
So she is called Pearl Wu. As for Concubine Pan Xian, although her family is a bit inferior, she can't stand the fact that her family has been imprisoned in the palace for generations. For several generations, she has been a figure in the Hanlin Medical Officials' Hospital (that is, the later Taiyuan Hospital, which is under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy).
And in that era of peace and prosperity, even if you are not a rich man at the beginning, you will naturally become a top rich man after a few generations.
The two families are now in Tokyo. Mrs. Wu's father is often called upon. After Pan Xianfei's father Pan Yongshou came back, he directly became the medical envoy of Hanlin Medical Academy. Both of them had always been able to travel easily to the harem, plus the poverty in the palace...
I dare to ask how it is possible that these two wealthy families are not willing to spend money to use it for their own daughters?
Do you really think that Zhao Guan's self-deprecating joke about eating soft rice is a tree without roots and water without a source?
But if so, Zhao Jiu didn't want to investigate further, because he didn't have the feudal imperial consciousness of 'I don't give it to you, you can't take it'... Especially Concubine Pan Xian, it was almost human nature to want this queen.
Not to mention, people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? According to Zhao Guan's family's simple straight-male thinking, if he takes over someone else's body, why don't they give him a marriage certificate?
Only Mrs. Wu has taken over someone else's body. If one of them had one and the other didn't, it would look a bit scumbag... But it seems that he is not to blame for this situation. Both of them were famous from the beginning.
"What does Zhengfu think of this?" Zhao Jiu lowered his head and thought for a long time. He closed the note from Wang Yan's subordinate on the case and asked Yang Yizhong helplessly.
Yang Yizhong obviously didn't react at first, but he still thought that the officials wanted to hold him accountable, so he responded cautiously: "I thought that this was because the officials only accompanied Mrs. Wu when they came and went, and the Wu family had sufficient financial resources. Mrs. Pan was a little bit
Appearing anxious..."
"I'm asking you...how do you think the issue of establishing a queen should be handled? Should we establish a queen?" Zhao Jiu said bluntly.
Yang Yizhong was immediately stunned, and after a while he replied: "This is a private official matter."
"This is nothing more than a private matter!" Zhao Jiu pointed at the papers and documents in the case, speechless. "What the hell are you, Yang Yizhong, talking to me about in person here? This is a private matter, and it is also a private matter that must be discussed publicly..."
Yang Yizhong also looked helpless.
"Don't worry, I'm not just asking you, I'm asking you first." Zhao Jiu quickly reassured him.
Yang Yizhong nodded slightly and then said sternly: "I think that such a movement is not caused by the instigation of a few people, but because the golden man is hanging in the air and people's hearts are in turmoil. Therefore, it is understandable that he temporarily seeks peace...
…If the establishment of a queen can reassure people’s hearts, why not do it?”
This is consent.
"That's true, but isn't there that saying... Why should the Xiongnu be at home before they are destroyed?" Zhao Jiu nodded first, but then shook his head. "With the current situation, it is impossible to organize a grand ceremony, and I am not willing to do it for such a thing.
It’s a waste of manpower.”
"It's okay to be simple." Yang Yizhong smiled bitterly. "It doesn't matter if there is only one will... Even here in Tokyo, I thought that as long as the frozen pigs stored in the cellar were released, the whole family would have one piece of meat.
There is no objection from anywhere in Tokyo."
Zhao Jiu, who was refuted speechless, was silent for a moment, and finally told the truth: "I think that Pan and Wu are enough for this life. At least before the Jin people are destroyed, they are not planning to increase the harem... Therefore, if Pan Xianfei becomes the queen, Wu
What will happen to Madam? On the other hand, if Madam Wu becomes queen, what will happen to Madam Pan?"
Yang Yizhong was slightly startled, but was silent.
"I'm asking you something..." Zhao Jiu continued to urge. "If I don't ask you about this kind of thing, do you want me to ask the prime minister?"
Yang Yizhong still remained silent.
Zhao Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Yizhong, just tell me whether it is feasible... Can you create two noble concubines together?"
Yang Yizhong had no choice but to finally bite the bullet and said: "I think it's okay."
"That's okay." Zhao Jiu was relieved for a moment. "As you said, I will go to Chongwen Academy to talk to Zaizhi."
With that said, the official didn't care and stood up directly.
On this side, Yang Yizhong was dumbfounded and completely panicked... He was just here to send a letter to the imperial camp commander as a routine gift, so why did he become 'just follow your words'?
But seeing that Zhao Guan's family was already walking out, this imperial confidant who had fought many battles and even his subordinates had someone to lead him, but he was still a commander hurriedly caught up and spoke repeatedly:
"The officials must explain to the government and the public that, on the one hand, they miss Empress Xing and do not want to establish a queen; on the other hand, why should the family be a family before the Xiongnu are destroyed, and they are not planning to add a harem before the Jin people are destroyed..."
"This is natural." Zhao Jiu walked directly out of the hall without looking back.
Yang Yizhong was too panicked and hurriedly caught up with him. He did not care that Lan Gui and others who had come out to avoid him were right in front of him. He said directly and sincerely: "Even if we just establish a noble concubine, the government must also issue frozen pork..."
Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly.
Lan Gui and others came forward, and Yang Yizhong stamped his feet completely... but was powerless for a moment... He still didn't know that this official must have had a plan in his heart, but he came here specifically to let him...
Everyone can bully someone to take the blame?
After all, under the clear sky, everyone saw that after they were alone with Guan Jia for a moment, Guan Jia, who was still confused before, suddenly made a decision. Where could he defend himself?
What's more, in the past, before Mrs. Pan arrived, the Wu family went to Tokyo first. At that time, he had many contacts with the Wu family for official business... This can't be washed away, there is a motive!
Will Pan Guifei still have a good face in the future?
Maybe Mrs. Wu would be grateful? But what’s the use of asking Mrs. Wu to be grateful?
The most important thing is, how do foreign ministers view themselves?
At this thought, Yang Yizhong almost felt a bit resentful...but he had no choice but to do so.
After all, he didn't know that since he was the leader of the imperial group, he was destined to be a lonely minister. What's more, he knew very well that there was also Lu Xianggong in Chongwen Academy at this time.
It's inevitable to say 'just follow your words'... If you can take the blame with the Prime Minister, others will envy you?
It is said that in late November of the third year of Jianyan, the Jin army had been inactive for a long time and Tokyo was idle. Therefore, the government and the public advised to appoint a queen to cheer up people's hearts. However, the Zhao official family thought that they missed Empress Xing a lot, and the Jin people did not want to live in the family until they were in peace.
He said... he only appointed Pan Wu as his concubine. He also issued an edict, vowing that the Jin people would not be destroyed and would not increase the harem. Also, because the war was not over and the ceremony could not be held, he only gave out 60,000 catties of pork. He also rewarded the city of Tokyo and 300,000 pieces of silk.
Reward the entire imperial camp.
After the ceremony was completed, the public discussion was somewhat settled, and the officials left Tokyo to inspect the Yellow River.
However, now that Zhao Guan's family has left the city, rumors suddenly continue to circulate in the government and the public in Tokyo. It is said that Zhao Guan's family originally wanted to follow the crowd and establish a queen, but the two concubines Pan and Wu had a clear hierarchy at that time. Once the queen was established, only Pan would be the dominant one. Prime Minister Lu Haowen and
Concubine Pan Xian had a grudge, and Yang Yizhong, the imperial commander-in-chief of the Imperial Palace, was close to Mrs. Wu's natal family. She was quite uneasy, so she made suggestions from inside and outside to use the two concubines as troops. The official family was attacked from both sides, so it lost its balance.
As rumors spread, Li Jing, the supervisory censor, impeached him for interfering in Tian family affairs and asked Yang Yizhong to be executed.
By the time they were sparse, the official family had already reached the Yellow River and disappeared.
