MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 49 Variety
Xu Shi was too ruthless that day, and scared everyone. From then on, no one from Gong Xue dared to provoke Wei Chongrong. It is said that the boy who was injured the most was still a son of the clan.
Wei Su didn't get angry when he heard the news, but replied calmly, "Children, it's normal to fight and fight, and it's fine after the fight, adults don't join in." Everyone suddenly realized that the emperor was still protecting his grandson, otherwise he would be able to protect him if he beat people like that.
In fact, the emperor still can't say that he has a good impression of Wei Chongrong, but his grandson, he can dislike it, but others are not allowed.
Besides, Wei Chongrong is only a little older, less than five years old. If someone bullies him, he can beat him back instead of running home crying and complaining to Wei Zhao. This performance is still very good.
The children who besieged Wei Chongrong were all older than him, more people bullied less people, and the older ones bullied the younger ones, but they couldn't beat him. Is there any reason for that? The emperor's partiality, of course.
After this incident, Wei Chongrong's biggest gain was the addition of a small tail named Gu Chuan. In the past, Gu Chuan treated him better than any other classmate in the class, but their relationship was always polite and there was no in-depth communication.
After the fight, when Gu Chuan looked at Wei Chongrong again, he was full of admiration. No matter what he did, he would follow every step of the way. Although Wei Chongrong is not good at dealing with children, but Gu Chuan sticks him tightly, and outsiders look at them, they are the best friends.
Gu Chuan is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi, Gu Yao. There are more than 20 people in their class. Except for Wei Mao and Wei Chongrong, they are his highest status. Not affected.
How did Wei Mao know that Wei Chongrong and Gu Chuan were being chased and intercepted, he only saw that Wei Chongrong was good in everything, the teacher of Gong Xue liked him, the classmates in the class liked him, it was his father, he mentioned Wei Chongrong. Chongrong is also full of praise.
Wei Mao is not an idiot, he will not just look at the appearance and not get to the bottom of the reason. Since everyone says that Wei Chongrong is very good, he has to see how good he is. After several comparisons, Wei Mao was convinced. He had to admit that he was really inferior to others.
My father said, know shame and then be brave; my father also said that it is not too late to mend the prison. Wei Mao took Wei Chongrong as his target and began to work hard. Wei Ming and Jun Fei were relieved to see that their youngest son was finally sensible, and they were even more grateful to Wei Chongrong.
It's not that Wei Chongrong didn't see Wei Mao's changes, but he didn't care. As long as Wei Mao didn't bother him anymore, he would be grateful. Otherwise, they would have conflicts all the time, which would also have an impact on the relationship between Wei Ming and Wei Zhao.
At the end of April, a major event happened in the DPRK, and Shangguan Ao died of illness.
Shangguan Ao was Wei Su's most trusted minister in his life. He has been serving as a minister of the province since the fifteenth year of Yongjia's reign. He is conscientious and dedicated to his duties.
In the 30th year of Yongjia, Shangguan Ao was transferred to Zhongshuling until today.
The Dayan Dynasty did not set up the post of prime minister, and the functions and powers of the original prime minister were shared by the governors of the three provinces—namely, Zhongshuling, Shizhong, and Shangshuling.
The division of labor among the three provinces is as follows. Zhongshu Province is mainly responsible for discussing the drafting of bills with the emperor and drafting the emperor's edicts. Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing the content of the edict and returning it to Zhongshu Province according to the situation. These two departments are decision-making bodies, and the decrees that have passed the review are handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation.
Therefore, although Shangshuling was in a high position, he was a minister but had no real power. The people who actually exercised the power were Zhongshuling and Shizhong.
Shangguan Ao has served as a servant for 15 years and as a secretary for 16 years. Wei Su, who is suspicious by nature, has a lot of trust in him. It is obvious how good he is.
Since this year, Shangguan Ao has been at home all the time, and the eyes of all the ministers in the court are immediately set on Shangguan's house.
After all, officials of the third rank and above have always been a radish and a pit. The pit in front is occupied by radishes, and no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to ascend.
Once Shangguan Ao left, what was vacated was not a place for the Central Book Order, but a single stroke that would move the whole body.
The people who can succeed Shangguan Ao are either the original Shizhong and Shang Shuling, or the two Shilangs of Zhongshu Province. As a result, their positions are also vacant, and someone has to take their place. Therefore, up and down, everyone pays attention to the life and death of Shangguan Ao.
In April, the prince and the emperor came to the door one after another, and everyone immediately understood that Shangguan Ao was dead.
Sure enough, on the fifth day after Wei Su saw Shangguan Ao, the news of Duke Yue's death came out.
Shangguan Ao had no children, and he adopted Shangguan Xuan, the eldest son of his younger brother Shangguan Xiang, as his heir. After his death, the title of Duke of Yue was inherited by Shangguan Xuan, which was a matter of course. On the other hand, Wei Su has not announced the candidate for the new Zhongshuling.
During Shangguan Ao's report of illness, Jiang Che, the right servant, was in charge of the daily affairs of Zhongshu Province. Jiang Che has a stable personality, acts cautiously, and handles everything properly and flawlessly.
Of course, Jiang Che's ability has nothing to say, but his age is too young for the position of Zhongshuling. Dayan has been established for more than 200 years, and there has never been a governor of the three provinces under the age of 30. Jiang Che wants to be promoted, I am afraid that he will have to wait.
If Jiang Che was only inferior in qualifications, then Xue Rui, the left servant of the middle book, was inferior in ability. More people are optimistic about Gu Yao and Sun Shu, the current servant, no matter which one of these two is on top, it will not make people feel strange.
Wei Chongrong's classmates, except for the descendants of the clan, are all descendants of senior officials. The shock of the court caused by Shangguan Ao's death is closely related to each of their families.
Although parents should have told their children not to talk casually outside, they still couldn't hold back the children talking in private. Wei Chongrong and Gu Chuan never participated in such discussions for different reasons.
Wei Chongrong knew everything and had nothing to say. Not only did he know that the person who succeeded Zhongshuling was Gu Yao, but he also knew that the person who succeeded Zhongshuling was Shangguan Xuan.
Wei Su's trust and reliance on Shangguan's family has reached an outrageous level. Just after Shangguan Ao's first seven days passed, he let Shangguan Xuan "snatch love", for fear that the Shangguan family would not have a place in the power center.
What Wei Chongrong annoyed most about the Shangguan family was that they were completely different from the flattering Xue family members. The three Shangguan Ao brothers were all capable. It's a pity that their ambitions are as great as their abilities, and the Wei family can't give them what they want.
Not to mention Shangguan Ao. He has been an extremely courteous minister for decades. His two younger brothers, Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Xiang, are also the dragon and the phoenix among the people.
If it is said that in the Yongjia Dynasty, the Dayan Dynasty recovered the lost land in the northern border entirely by the contribution of the Changning Palace, then the six counties recovered in the southern border were the credit of Shangguan Yi and Li Yanweng's son-in-law.
Shangguan Xiang is also a famous doctor in the world. It is said that he can "bone flesh and bones of the living dead". Who would dare not to sacrifice him.
On the contrary, Shangguan Ling, who entered the palace as a concubine, brought limited benefits to the Shangguan family. The son she gave birth to was frail and sickly, and it all depended on Shangguan Xiang's medical skills to live to the age of marriage. Now that I think about it, the Shangguan family was a blessing in disguise, and Wei Su never had any taboos towards them, but never towards the Ji family.
Wei Xu chose a concubine, and the major families could not avoid it. No one wanted their daughter to be a widow in the future, but Shangguan Ao sent his only daughter to the palace. His reasons are very good. Shangguan Chanjuan is a cousin, and she will definitely be able to take good care of the second prince. She has a good impression on Wei Su. Wei Xu died at the age of twenty, without children and daughters, Shangguan Chanjuan spent the rest of his life with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, how cruel.
In the year of Wei Xu's death, the imperial concubine Li, who had been in the palace for many years but was not favored, devoted herself to it, not to mention the promotion of the fourth level, and the next year she gave birth to the fifth prince, Wei Shi. Concubine Yun Li is the younger sister of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's wife is Shangguan Pingting, the daughter of Shangguan Yi.
To say that there is no role of the Shangguan family behind the rise of Concubine Yun, Wei Chongrong doesn't believe it at all, that is, Li Wei, who got up by virtue of Shangguan Yi's prestige. However, Mrs. Li was dead, and Concubine Yun was also dead. The helpless Wei Shi became a **** that Shangguan's family could abandon at any time.
Just as Wei Chongrong had predicted, Gu Yao became the new Zhongshuling, and the vacant position of the middle servant was...
But was filled by Jiang Che? !
As for Shangguan Xuan, he went home to Ding You, and it is impossible for him to come back for three years.
Wei Chongrong was dumbfounded, why? Why is it different from his memory? who is it? Who made the suspicious emperor change his original decision?
He thought about it, and finally put the credit on Wei Zhao. Because compared with the previous life, only he and Wei Zhao were more than two, so he definitely couldn't have any influence on the emperor, and the rest was only Wei Zhao.
Jiang Che took the place of Shangguanxuan, which is definitely a good thing for the Eastern Palace family. What Wei Chongrong couldn't figure out was how Wei Zhao did this. His influence on Wei Su couldn't be higher than Wei Ming.
Wei Chongrong tried to find an answer from Wei Zhao, but was dismissed by his words. The task of the child is to study hard, and don't worry about other things, you don't understand anyway.
Is it a question of how much to read? This is information asymmetry! Wei Chongrong was a little crazy, but unfortunately Wei Zhao was very tight-lipped, he really couldn't ask, so he had to give up.
In June, there was a "big news" in the palace that Wei Chongrong had known for a long time, and Zhao Ji was overjoyed. When the news came out, He Gong was shocked.
You must know that the age of the emperor and his old man is really not young. It's not surprising to add another child in the sixtieth year, it is impossible.
In the early years, the emperor was in short supply of sons, and the concubines in the harem had given birth to seven fairies for him, and His Royal Highness was long in coming. In the following ten years, the second prince Wei Xu, the third prince Wei Xiao and the fourth prince Wei Zhao were successively added to the palace.
When Wei Zhao was born, Wei Su was almost at the age of no doubts, and after more than ten years, no prince or daughter appeared in the palace. Wei Zhao grew up as a son-in-law, and naturally, thousands of pets gathered in one, and he developed a willful and reckless temperament.
Fourteen years later, when Concubine Yun gave birth to the fifth prince, Wei, people were amazed that the emperor grew stronger when he was old, but Wei Zhao's position could not be replaced by Wei Shi. It was not until Wei Zhao was captured that Wei Su paid more attention to the young Wei Shi.
Now, Wei Shi is already nine years old, and the emperor can even add younger siblings to him. Other than admiration, everyone has nothing to say.
As for Zhao Ji, not many people take her to heart, but she is a sixth-rank concubine, so what if she is pregnant. The previous Concubine Yun is the best example. Concubine Yun also had a brother who could fight in war, but Li Yan died, and she and Wei Shi had nothing to rely on. They didn't die soon, and Wei Su didn't have anything to do with Wei Shi. Show more love. Zhao Ji's family background is far worse than Concubine Yun, just because of her youth and beauty, how long can she be favored.
Wei Chongrong didn't think so. You must know that Zhao Ji's son was Wei Yang, the one who inherited the throne after Wei Su, and the one who he treated with sincerity, but was bestowed to death by him with a glass of poison.
As the biggest beneficiary of the witch-gu incident, Wei Chongrong never believed that Zhao Ji had nothing to do with this incident. It's just that her ability is limited, and she died in the second year of Wei Yang's ascension-suspected of the Shangguan family's attack-making Wei Chongrong not sure about her role in the whole thing.
For the most part, Zhao Ji has someone else behind her. She is just a chess piece and an abandoned piece, and she is abandoned when her goal is achieved. If Zhao Ji didn't die, she would be able to regent her mother, and Princess Wanchun would not need to go back to the palace to raise Weiyang. The Shangguan family's control over the inner palace would not be so strong.
It's a pity that before the 16th year of Taiping, the Shangguan family had the final say in the courtroom and palaces, and the relevant information on the witchcraft incident was almost destroyed by Wei Su. Wei Chongrong wanted to find out when the Shangguan family started its layout. , and how to control it, there is no way to start.
He only knew that a woman who knew how to claim that she was "in her dream day" must have enough scheming, but unfortunately Wei Su believed her words, and Wei Yang's name came from it.
The news of Zhao Ji's pregnancy was less than ten days ago, and there was good news from the harem, and the servant Yan also had it, and people said that he was "Mengyue into the arms".
When Wei Chongrong heard about this, he was surprised and amused at the same time. In his previous life, he didn't know about Wei Su's harem or Yan Li, which showed that he was extremely inconspicuous in the palace. Who knows that now, he is pregnant, and it is about the same time as Zhao Ji.
It's impossible that this incident is also related to Wei Zhao, although he and Yan Li really have a little-known special relationship. But in this case, is the scope of Wei Zhao's intervention too broad? Wei Chongrong is a little unbelievable.
The funniest thing is that Zhao Ji said that she "dream day into her arms" and Yan Li immediately "dream moon into her arms", making the original magical statement like a child's play.
Back then, the queen was pregnant with the crown prince, but she never dreamed of anything. Why did the two little sixth-rank concubines receive so much love from God? The emperor was originally skeptical, and felt that there was no harm in believing, and he was lucky to say it, but now he refuses to believe it.
According to convention, low-ranking concubines and servants in the harem are expected to be promoted to the first rank when they are pregnant. Wei Su was annoyed by the jealousy between Zhao Ji and Yan Li, and no one was promoted. The queen and the maid take good care of each other.
Zhao Ji was very dissatisfied, and always felt that Yan Li had disturbed her good deeds, otherwise she would already be a noble concubine. Yan Li refused to accept it and said that you are allowed to dream of the sun, but I am not allowed to dream of the moon. If it weren't for the incompatibility between the eastern and western zodiac houses, I don't know what they would make.
Everything is like this, and it is not unusual to have more, and "Lao Lai Zi" is no exception. Wei Su didn't say that he was tired of Zhao Ji and Yan's servants, but he was not as ecstatic as he was at first.
In the spring of the following year, Yan Li gave birth to the sixth prince, Wei Hao, three days before Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was half a beat slower, and Wei Yang became the seventh prince.
Sixty-sixth son, good things come in pairs, Wei Su's joy is needless to say. He promoted Yan Li and Zhao Ji to the titles of noble servant and noble concubine respectively. Compared with the Hui Concubine Wei Chongrong remembered, he was a lot worse.
In the face of a world that is more and more different from what he remembers, Wei Chongrong has changed from the initial shock to the habit of now.
When it comes to the influence of the Dayan Dynasty, he and Wei Zhao are not of the same order of magnitude. Since the day Wei Zhao came back alive, a lot of things have changed, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, but it's not the same as before.
Shangguan Xuan Ding has been worried for three years, and no one can guarantee what position he will have when he comes back. The current Zhongshu Ling Gu Yao, the waiter Jiang Che, and the Shang Shu Ling Sun Shu cannot be said to be all facing the East Palace, but no one is on the opposite side of the East Palace.
Xue Rui was incapable of discipline and allowed his son to act viciously. The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable. If the Taoist priest he recommended was not favored by the emperor, he would not be able to keep the position of Zuo Shilang of Zhongshu.
There was no evidence of Xiao Feng's plot against Ji Xin, but five consecutive exercises between the East and West battalions ended in a complete victory for the Dongcheng battalion, which made Wei Su have to consider whether the position of General Xicheng should be replaced.
As for Su Wen, every time he sees Wei Chongrong, he is polite, even more kind than the grandsons of the East Palace. Wei Chongrong estimated that the real murderer of his nephew had been solved by Wei Zhao.
There are two sides to everything, there is a good side and there is a bad side. The external environment of the East Palace is gradually improving, and internal conflicts are also breeding.
This does not mean that there is any discord between Wei Ming and Wei Zhao brothers, but that they have obvious differences in political opinions.
Wei Su devoted his whole life to recovering all the lost land in the northern border. What he did once did, but unfortunately Youzhou lost all the gains and fell short.
If Youzhou had never returned to Dayan's territory, Wei Su might not have been too obsessed, and he really couldn't get it back, so he could leave it to the king of future generations.
It's a pity that the situation in Youzhou is not the case. It was called back and then someone grabbed it back, thus becoming the deepest thorn in Wei Su's heart. In his lifetime, he must take back Youzhou, and he cannot go to see the ancestors of the Wei family on the charge of losing land.
Every time the emperor said that he wanted to restore Youzhou, the crown prince would speak out against it.
Although Wei Ming's words were reasonable, Wei Chongrong knew very well that he could not persuade Wei Su. Otherwise, where did the fiasco of Yongjia forty-eight years come from, and why did Junhua become an orphan at a young age?
In the previous life, Wei Su let Junqing lead this battle because he had no suitable generals in his hands, so he had to do it. Now, Wei Zhao and Ji Xin are all good, and it is estimated that it is not the time for Junqing to go to the battlefield.
It's just that although Junqing's character is not decisive enough, his ability to march and fight and arrange troops is the same as Wei Zhao, which was taught by Wei Su himself. The main reason for the failure of that war was not him, but the lack of preparation in all aspects.
Therefore, Wei Chongrong was very worried. If Wei Su insisted on fighting Fuyu, even if Wei Zhao led the army, the result might not be much better than the gentleman in his previous life. If that were the case, Wei Zhao would never be able to turn around again in this life.
Just after the end of the spring military exercise, Wei Su put forward a resolution on the use of troops in Fuyu at the court. Wei Ming routinely opposed it, believing that this would be a waste of money and a waste of money.
Wei Su's face was expressionless, and he said for a while: "Prince, tell me, how to recover all the lost land during the Shenchuan period without using foreign troops?"
Wei Ming was speechless, no matter how many realistic reasons he could give, as long as Wei Su brought out Emperor Taizu's legacy, he would have no way to refute it.
After a long silence, Wei Zhao walked out of the court class and cupped his hands: "My son is willing to lead the army to expedition to recover the lost land for Dayan."
When this statement came out, everyone was shocked. The prince and the king of Qin, are they singing the opposite stage?
