Chapter 825: Pear Vortex Beauty

Empress Dowager Zhu was silent for a while, and then said: "In this matter, although I am the queen mother, the emperor was not born to me after all, I am afraid that it is ......."

Why do you say that? Emperor Zhao Huan gave birth to a total of three princes, the eldest son was the first emperor Suzong Zhao Chen, who was born to the Empress Dowager Zhu; The second son, the current emperor Zhao Jin, was born to Concubine Shende, and it just so happened that this Concubine Shende was also surnamed Zhu, but she had been dead for many years; The third son, Zhao Xun, is now the king of Suining County, and his mother is Mrs. Zheng.

So Empress Dowager Zhu was worried that the emperor would not listen to him, after all, she was not her biological parent, and secondly, the emperor abdicated twice, and she was afraid that the emperor would also have scruples.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he stopped and said: "You are the queen of my main palace, the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor's mother-in-law. I am not afraid of the presence of the second minister, this enrichment of the harem is for the emperor's heir, and the second is that the emperor no longer favors one person, and the dynasty is broken! ”

This could not be clearer, although the Emperor Taishang has always lived in Longde Palace, he has still heard of the major events in the Chaozhong Palace. The emperor favored the Liu family, and there were no other concubines, so that the harem interfered in politics, and the power of relatives swelled. Although Zhao Huan has no ambition, but after all, the world is still the Zhao family, how can he sit idly by?

Hearing what the Emperor said, Empress Dowager Zhu responded: "If this is the case, find an opportunity, and the concubines will talk to the emperor." ”

Xu Liang estimated that the opportunity had come, and took advantage of the situation to speak: "The emperor, the queen mother, forgive the ministers for courage, this is a concubine, a harem, and the queen mother should be in charge." The official family and the queen have a deep relationship, and it is inevitable to spoil them, but the queen has a request, and the official family has no reason to allow it. Therefore, the minister believes that the Queen Mother has done it. ”

Zhao Huan is a person who has been sitting in a big position for many years, and after pondering Xu Liang's words, he felt reasonable, and immediately nodded: "Yes, what Xu Qing said is very true." I think so, Xu Qing went down to have Si Guang select virtuous and virtuous Shu NV, choose an auspicious day, welcome into the palace, presided over by the queen mother, and let the emperor canonize it. This is the permanent plan of the country, and no one has anything to say. ”

When Xu Liang got this, he was overjoyed, and even responded, and the Empress Dowager Zhu also agreed. It was agreed at the moment that Xu Liang came out of Longde Palace and went straight to the Ministry of Rites, and then went to the palace and told the relevant ministry about it, because of the queen mother's order, even if some people were afraid of Queen Liu, they did not dare to be careless. Coupled with Xu Liang's high position, who dares not to care about the things he personally asked?

Soon, Yousi set out the list of high-ranking officials and nobles who are in the boudoir, have good looks, are of the right age, and are more talented. The emperor of the Song Dynasty chose a concubine, and there was an unwritten rule, that is, the palace chose people and did not shy away from military ministers. Moreover, the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to win over the military ministers, chose the generals to fill the concubine position.

After the roster came out, Xu Liang and the officials of the department screened it, and finally left eleven people. His father and brother, some in the court, some outside, civil officials, and military ministers, only wait until the auspicious day of the zodiac, and they will be sent to the palace.

On this day, Xu Liang, as usual, went to Zhongshu to manage the government. It just so happened that one of the cardinal mansions came over to pay tribute, saw Xu Liang, and after seeing the ceremony, he said: "Xu Xiang, when the official came, I saw an official who was familiar with him and was in the privy mansion. I didn't think much about it, but later I heard from my colleagues that it was Xu Dutong, the Xuanfu Division of the two Zhejiang. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he seemed to think about it, and said, "I think it's a business trip to Beijing." "I didn't say much, I went to work. Who is this Xu Dutong? It is the fourth elder of the Xu family, the brother of the king of Taiyuan County, Xu Sheng. Just because the brothers of the Xu family, except for Xu Liang, all held important positions in the Western Army, the imperial court could not help but be a little guarded, and when Emperor Suzong was in power, he transferred Xu Liang to leave Shaanxi and served as the commander of the army in the Xuanfu Division of Liangzhejiang Road.

These two Zhejiang Road Xuanfu Divisions, although they are one of the four major Xuanfu Divisions in the south, are actually an institution that guards the "Xing Dynasty", and there is no combat mission. That Zhao Ding was originally Qin Fengshuai, and the troops he brought were also the team of the Western Army. Xu Sheng is a veteran of the Western Army, and he is Xu Wei's brother, and he is the cousin of the current prime minister, so when he arrived in Liangzhejiang, no one dared to underestimate him, and he lived a good life.

This visit to the Xingchao is a routine business, and I go to the privy palace to report on my work. He also said that the Privy Council was originally the highest military body in the country, but in the Song and Jin Incidents, especially in the past ten years, in order to meet the needs of the war, most of the functions and powers of the Privy Council were annexed by the government, and it itself became a "retirement home". Because the Privy Council has always been in charge of Xu Wei, these old ministers have at most "known about the affairs of the Privy Council", and so far, there have been four. Then again, although it doesn't matter about the facts, some daily trivial matters do not alarm the government.

Xu Liang knew that his cousin had arrived in Hangzhou, but he was relieved, and after the affairs were dealt with on this day, he did not stay, and went home directly. When he arrived home, the Mén man came up to pick him up and reported: "Xianggong, the fourth master arrived in the afternoon, with the fifth girl." The title of "master" actually originated in the Southern Song Dynasty, according to ancient Chinese etiquette, parents are here, not called old. It's just because the elders of the Xu family have passed away, so Xu Jiu and their generation have all become masters.

Xu Liang answered and went inside. When he arrived in the hall, he saw that his son-in-law was talking to the fourth brother, so he stepped forward quickly and laughed loudly: "Fourth brother! ”

An official in the hall, in his fifties, got up when he heard the words, and he was actually seven feet tall, tall and majestic! When you look at him, it's like looking at Xu Wei, although there is a difference of more than ten years, but after all, he was born by a mother, but he is older than Xu Wei, and he has a long beard under his chin. Although he was already past the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, his majesty was still there, and when he saw his cousin, he smiled and said: "Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

According to the public, Xu Liang is a superior, but in Sī, he is a cousin, so when he came up, he leaned over Xu Si in a proper manner, and Xu Sheng held it up and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Fourth brother, please take a seat." Xu Liangdao.

Xu Sheng didn't shirk it, and sat straight up, Xu Liang accompanied him, and his eldest son Xu Han didn't dare to sit and stood next to him. At this time, I heard the fourth uncle call: "Nephew, you went and called your sister to visit your uncle." ”

Xu Han responded and went by himself. Although the two brothers Xu Si and Xu Liu are not far apart, they are busy after all, and they haven't seen each other for almost a year, so they can't help but have something to say at home, Xu Liu knows that the fourth sister-in-law Xu Wang's family has been not very good since she called Jiangnan, so she asked: "Fourth brother, I don't know if my sister-in-law is very good?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Sizhi shook his head: "Alas, it's still not good, I'm used to staying in the north, and I don't adapt to the water and soil as soon as I arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, and now I've been eating yào all the time." Ben said he was going to bring her with him, but he couldn't walk. ”

"Oh, that's a lot of recuperation, her illness has always affected the one in the northwest, and whenever she sends a letter to me, five or six times out of ten times she mentions his sister-in-law's illness." Xu Liangdao.

"Who's to say it isn't? Every time he wrote to him, he would ask his sister-in-law about her condition. Xu Si also said.

"Lao Jiu's life, my aunt went, and the fourth sister-in-law has been raising her, this eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, he should be filial." Xu Liang said, at this point, the words changed, "Fourth brother I'm afraid I don't know yet, right?" ”

"What?" Xu Sheng asked.

"Lao Jiu really did a decent thing this time. In the north, Yan Liang killed the monarch and usurped the throne, Lao Jiuyi received the wind, and immediately pressed the border with two armies, forcing Yan Liang to send money and horses, and returned Taiyuan Mansion back. Xu Liang said.

Xu Sheng laughed when he heard this: "I've heard about this, and for this reason, Zhao Xuanfu also specially invited me to a banquet." ”

"But there is one more thing that my brother definitely doesn't know, does the fourth brother remember Gao Xiaogong?" Xu Liang asked.

As soon as he heard this name, Xu Sheng was angry from his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you forget your surname, you won't forget this person!" ”

In order to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty and Lao Jiu, Wan Yanliang tied Gao Xiaogong and sent him to the ninth brother. Lao Jiu really knew what was going on, and he didn't end up with a knife, but instead sent him to the dynasty and let the officials be the masters. Do you think, if he is such a gentleman, can the official family be inconsiderate? Immediately issue an edict and let Dali Temple punish according to law. In the end, Dali Temple asked about treason and rebellion and other major crimes, and sentenced him to be beheaded. The second uncle is in the spirit of the sky, and he should also smile. Xu Liang said.

"Humph! Reap what you sow! I just hate to slash this thief! Xu Sheng said angrily.

"Brother, you don't think about it as well as Lao Jiu. Who is Gao Xiaogong? The scenery back then was just a pig and dog-like character, Wan Yanliang tied him to Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu wanted to kill him, which was really easier than pinching a worm to death. But why didn't Lao Jiu do this? Why did he have to let the Holy One avenge this? is thinking about our Xu family. Xu Liang said seriously.

Xu Sheng is a standard soldier, or rather, a sincere person. Let him lead the troops and fight, he can be competent, but if you talk about these, I'm afraid it is not as good as my younger brothers. So, when he heard this, he asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Xu Liang was about to speak, but saw Xu Han lead a girl out, go to the hall, first give Xu Sheng a blessing, call Daddy, and then turn to Xu Liang, the servant next to him brought a mat, she knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said, "Uncle." ”

"Okay, good, my nephew hasn't seen me for a few years, he's so old, get up, get up." Xu Liang smiled and gestured to let his nephew get up.

When I looked at the girl, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a graceful figure and clear eyebrows, and she could vaguely see the shadow of Xu Wang's youth. She is Xu Sheng's fifth NV child, although she said that she came out of her own Wu family, just because she is a NV child, she does not practice martial arts, she has learned needlework since she was a child, and because she is an official family, reading is definitely inevitable. Therefore, he is cultivated to be delicate, and there is no rudeness. The more Xu Liang looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, especially when this nephew was shy, he pursed his mouth, and the shallow pear vortices on both sides were extremely moving, and he really walked down from the painting.
