Section 516 Nature is difficult to change
"The master's abacus is good!" Liu Che approved.
The king next to him was wrong, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you want the slave to go and say hello?" β
"Huh?" Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of the royal road.
From the point of view of the ruling class, this family belongs to the troublemakers who jump up and down, restless and self-conscious.
For the traditional imperial power, only honest and silent people are called good citizens.
A guy jumping around like Shijia is as annoying as a fly, and he can't wait to slap him to death!
What's more, this master has given so many gifts, but he has not given gifts to the palace.
The eunuchs and chamberlains in these two palaces, large and small, if they can be happy in their hearts, then they will see the hell!
Liu Che smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "No need, I won't be able to tolerate this little thing......
Wang Dao hurriedly bowed: "No! The slave knows ......"
Liu Che glanced at this guy and didn't say anything, just ordered leisurely: "Go and send an invitation to the Pavilion Chief Princess Mansion, and let Brother Chen Xu enter the palace!" β
"No!" The king took the order and left.
Liu Che watched the guy disappear from sight, shook his head, and knew that it was time to support another cronie eunuch to sing against Wang Dao.
It's not a matter of trust.
It's something you have to do as an emperor.
Besides, that was also for the good of the king, Liu Che didn't want to have to dispose of this loyal slave in his previous life in the future.
Two hours later, Liu Che's two cousins, Chen Xu and Chen Xu, arrived together.
"Your Majesty ......" When the two brothers saw Liu Che, they immediately fell to the ground. He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty summons the ministers and others to come, what are your orders?" β
Liu Che looked at the two brothers.
Chen Xu is the elder brother. is two years older than Liu Che, and Chen Chan is his younger brother. I am fifteen years old.
The two brothers looked like they were talented.
But unfortunately, apart from cockfighting and lackeys, Liu Che can hardly see their merits.
In addition, it may be because their mother, Guantao, is too strong, and strict zhΓ²ng is a patriarch.
Therefore, the two brothers looked a little cowering, and they didn't look like their relatives and uncles at all, but they were stupid.
It doesn't matter, though.
Anyway. There is no need for these two brothers to contribute to the Han family's Jiangshan Society, they can honestly stay at home to fight cocks and lackeys and play with maids, and if they don't go out to bully men and women, they are already the greatest contribution to the country!
"Get up!" Liu Che got up and said, "Come on, give a seat to the two Aiqing!" β
"Thank you!" Chen Xu was older, pulled his younger brother to thank him, and then sat down respectfully on the seat.
"Is Tang Yi waiting for his health okay?" Liu Che asked.
"Thanksgiving XiΓ Hongfu. My father's health has always been fine......" Chen Xu replied immediately, and there was even some emotion in his eyes.
Liu Che nodded and quickly skipped the topic, the family affairs of the old Chen family. Liu Che knows a little.
Whether it's Chen Wu or the Chen brothers, it's almost all decorations. belongs to the superfluous.
Liu Che didn't want to get involved in the family's family affairs.
"I'm going to go hunting in Shanglin Yuan tomorrow, two Aiqing. Bring your own bow and horse, and follow me around. Luckily? Liu Che asked with a smile.
Chen Xu and Chen Xu were immediately flattered, and hurriedly bowed: "No, the ministers are edicted!" β
Safari with the car, this is a rare opportunity to get close to the Son of Heaven.
Although the two brothers of the Chen family seem to outsiders to be very straw bales, they themselves do not think so.
After the younger sister became the queen, the two of them even said in a gathering with many people of the same age that they would become the three princes and nine kings in the future, and at least they would be a general of the chariot cavalry.
"Chen Chan ......" Liu Che suddenly looked at Chen Chan and ordered: "Has Qing accepted a concubine recently?" From the Luoyang Master's house? β
"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the main ...... made by the minister's mother" Chen Qian bowed his head and bowed, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
If it were possible, Chen Chan would never be willing to take a businessman's daughter as a concubine!
You must know that the son of the liehou married with a businessman, which is too cheap, not to mention, he is also a dignified relative and uncle, as long as there is no accident, he will definitely be sealed in the future!
And the daughter of Nashangjia, this will be a big stain on him in the future.
It is even enough to become the focus of others' attacks.
Liehou relatives, and the untouchables of the city, sacrificing the basics, and seeking profit......
Chen Chan can almost imagine how the government and the opposition will talk about it.
But Liu Che's next sentence dispelled all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Tomorrow, Qing Jiangqing's in-laws will also be brought, it just so happens that I have something I want to ask......" Liu Che ordered casually.
"No!" Chen Chan was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed his head in his brother's eyes that seemed to be envious and jealous.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After returning home, Chen Xu and Chen Chan brothers were called over by their mother for questioning as soon as possible.
Concubine Liu lay on the couch, looked at the two brothers kneeling in front of her rather lazily, and asked, "What did the emperor call you to go?" β
"Your Majesty ordered your son to wait for tomorrow to go on a safari with him......" Chen Xu didn't dare to hide it in front of his mother, and honestly told the matter: "In addition, His Majesty also ordered his brother to bring the people from the master's family to go with him......"
"Hehe......" Liu Concubine sat up, and a maid immediately came over to massage her.
"This palace knows that this emperor will definitely look down on this master's family......" Liu Yan's eyebrows raised, and said lightly: "Go and call the people of the master's family to this palace!" β
"No!" The brothers didn't dare to ask their mother why the emperor looked down on a merchant like his master's family.
In the eyes of the two brothers, such untouchables, when they saw each other, were all elevated.
But Concubine Liu may be in a better mood today, so she sat up straight and rarely educated her sons: "You two stinky boys, how do you know the emperor's thoughts?" β
"The nephew emperor of this palace has more city government and scheming than the first emperor, and since its rise, every move has been made. Don't all have deep meanings! "Guantao remembered a lot of the past.
She looked at the nephew emperor and came to this day step by step.
This is especially true since his accession to the throne. She can see it even more clearly.
Others say that he is the first greedy in Chang'an, regardless of anyone. As long as you send money, you will definitely be able to buy it.
But who knows, he doesn't take all the money.
Some money, it will be hot to hold!
She is not stupid, but she will not evil Weiyang Palace for a little profit.
Over the years, outsiders have only seen it, and many people have known her pavilion pottery. stabilized his position and got promoted, but a few people knew that most of those who kept their official positions and got promoted were not wanted to be disposed of by the emperor in the first place, or they were irrelevant.
If you really gave money to Guantao to avoid death and be promoted, then the government and the opposition would have been excited.
At that time, even the old mother in Changle Palace may not be able to protect her!
In the midst of this court. If you want to live freely, the most important thing is to see the wind and steer, and observe words and colors.
For example, the first emperor was a good woman.
Pavilion Tao did not hesitate to take the emperor's sister. As the eldest princess, she personally went down and selected the beauties of the world. Whenever the emperor came, there were always beauties from different places with different charms to serve.
The first emperor was happy. The status of her museum pottery is naturally rising.
As for the talk of outsiders? What is that?
Nowadays, I don't care much about beauty. Every time I come to the Pavilion Tao Mansion, I don't care much about those beauties from all over the world.
On the contrary......
Others don't know, don't you know?
Today, my heart is very big!
Like Emperor Taizong, he was reluctant to eat, and even more reluctant to repair the palace room.
Only eat three dishes and one soup in one meal, not to mention comparing with Liehou, it is a well-off family in Chang'an City, and the table is richer than the Son of Heaven.
He is not very keen on beauty, and there are only thirty or forty concubines in the palace.
Compared with the hundreds of beauties of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, it is simply pure heart and few desires.
However, in inverse proportion to personal enjoyment, since he ascended the throne, he has been extremely generous to the people's livelihood and the army.
As soon as he came to power, he announced that he would never give more, and gave the people Ding Nan four years, plus the previous food protection policy, Kanto Guantao didn't know, but in this pass, the prestige of the current is almost the same as that of the Taizong period.
Guan Tao has no doubt that as long as the order is given today, millions of people in this pass may take up arms and fight for it.
Not to mention, the waterwheel that is being tested in Shanglin Yuan now, as well as those new agricultural tools, 'flour', 'soybean oil' and other things, can make the world crazy in the future.
Others don't know, but after going to Shanglinyuan, Guantao himself immediately paid for the installation of waterwheels in Shaofu on his manor and land, and purchased a large number of new farm tools.
As for the army, it's even more remarkable.
Since his accession to the throne, military spending has been rising steadily.
Even Guan Tao has heard that the northern and southern armies will complete the all-iron ordnance this year and completely eliminate the old bronze weapons.
Since last year, the imperial court has built 12 new horse farms in Guanzhong, Longyou and Shangjun.
A certain general once said after drinking at a banquet held in Guantao that the imperial court would have 100,000 standing cavalry in the year after tomorrow.
The emperor sharpened his knife Huo Huo, what he wanted to do, as long as he was not blind, he could see clearly.
In addition to these things, Guan Tao found a very interesting thing - although the emperor seemed to shout and kill the merchants, a group of courtiers followed and shouted 'strong and weak'.
It is also the official camp of salt and iron, and it is the vast relocation of the world and the strength of Maoxiang.
But......
For those merchants with technology and strength, the emperor seems to be more protective.
Guantao himself has seen with his own eyes how Cheng Zheng and Zhuo of Linqiong climbed to the Son of Heaven.
Now, there are beauties surnamed Cheng Zheng and Zhuo in the palace, and it is said that the emperor is quite fond of these two beauties.
Not long ago, Nanyang reported the local Dajia Kong family on the migration list, but Guantao heard that the emperor did not approve the list of Nanyang, but replaced the Nanyang county guard, and today there is a news in the palace that the Son of Heaven wants to take Zhang Tang as the county guard of Nanyang County.
If you still can't understand it when you see this, the pottery has been mixed in the palace for so many years.
That nephew emperor, the attitude towards Shang Jia, is already very clear.
For useful merchants, the emperor is to fight first and then use.
For example, Cheng Zheng and Zhuo in Linqiong.
For useless businessmen, there is no mercy at all. Whether it was when he was still a prince or after he ascended the throne. Those businessmen who were sent to the guillotine by Akami are basically useless.
It's just that. Guantao still can't understand it very well, where is the emperor's nephew, and what are the standards and boundaries for the useful and useless businessmen?
This time, the matter of the master's family made Guan Tao faintly, as if he had touched something.
But she didn't bother to explain too much to her two waste sons about this matter.
She just admonished: "Chen Chan, you will have to deal with the Shi's family in the future, besides." Find a day to marry the daughter of the master's family! β
Previously, Guan Tao had not set a wedding date, and her idea was: If she finds that the Shi family belongs to the emperor's 'useless' category, then immediately cut off the tail and abandon the Shi family, anyway, the daughter of the Shi family has not yet entered the door, and some are excuses to regret the marriage, at most. It's just a matter of returning the dowry to the teacher's family.
Well, the credibility and conscience of Guantao in this regard, that is leveraged, took your money. Absolutely do something for you, if the thing is not done, you will definitely be refunded.
If the teacher family belongs to the group of 'useful' people. Naturally, hello, hello, everyone, Guantao himself can also get a huge amount of benefits. can also take the opportunity to get closer to the emperor.
It's really a win-win-win-win-win
Even Guantao himself admires his ingenuity a little!
"Hey, it's a pity that this palace is not a man!" Guantao sighed. She really felt that if she was a man, she might not be as good as the first emperor.
When Brother Chen Xu and Chen Xue listened to their mother's words, they naturally immediately kowtowed and bowed: "Mother has taught, and the sons have remembered!" β
"That's right!" Guan Tao suddenly stopped Chen Chan and ordered: "Go and let the master bring that concubine to the palace and take a look......
"No!" Chen Chan immediately kowtowed.
He knew that in his mother's heart, she was thinking about another thing at the moment: "When the first emperor was here, he seemed to like to eat secretly...... At that time, Zhou Ren often ...... the wind for the first emperor, this matter is a secret to others, but it can't be hidden from the pavilion Tao, and the pavilion pottery has heard more than once, the secret news between the first emperor and some noble ladies, there are even rumors in the palace, the first emperor is fortunate to be a certain lady, Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Ren to put the wind at the door...... The old Liu family has always had such a habit of ignoring meat.
When Emperor Taizu Gao, he liked to sleep with the wives and concubines of his courtiers everywhere.
For example, Liu You, the king of Zhao You, and Liu Chang, the king of Huainan Li, all came here in this way.
Taizong did not get rid of this habit, after destroying Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei who plotted rebellion, where Liu Xingju's beautiful concubines went in the end, the government and the opposition were tacit.
The first emperor was even more heroic, and even, a certain prince and several concubines were raised by the emperor later.
The current Son of Heaven looks quite Yanagishita Megumi's style.
I didn't go to the minister's house to hunt wild food.
But......
Did the dog change to eat Xiang?
Liu expressed deep doubts about this.
Rather than having this lucky opportunity snatched away by others, it is better to take the initiative yourself.
There is only one concubine on the left and right, and she is still the daughter of a businessman, in Liu Yan's opinion, as long as the Son of Heaven can see it, then send it to the Son of Heaven couch quickly.
As for shame or something......
Ahem, in this world, the etiquette and music have collapsed, and it has long been gone!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Concubine Liu really didn't think wrong.
At this time, Liu Che was playing the idea of a wife.
In Weiyang Palace, wind music is played in unison.
The families of several ministers are guests in the Shufang Hall of Empress Chen Ajiao.
In the Han Dynasty, the courtiers belonged to the Son of Heaven, and the wives and concubines of the courtiers were under the command of the queen.
The dedication of silkworms every year is one of the most important political and religious activities of the Han court.
Now, it is close to the first month, and it is not far from the spring of March, the queen led the wives and concubines of the ministers, and the daughters of the princes to offer silkworms to the gods of the ancestral heaven and earth.
Today's gathering was arranged by the East Palace, mainly to let the minister's wife and daughter get close to the queen and cultivate a tacit understanding with each other, so as to prepare for the silkworm sacrifice three months later.
But Chen Ajiao is too young and only a half-grown child.
Many things are half-understood.
Therefore, as the Son of Heaven, Liu Che naturally accompanied Chen Ajiao and participated in this dinner.
The wives and daughters of the ministers who came were all more than 2,000 stone liehous.
The wives and daughters of the prime minister, the imperial historian and other three princes and nine princes were all present, and the wives and daughters of important princes and the wives and daughters of the chief officials of sensitive departments of more than 2,000 stone were also invited to participate.
Because they're all women. Therefore, the entire Shufang Hall was suddenly warbler and swallow. It's not lively.
The daughters of many princes, the daughters of ministers. They all deliberately dressed up and showed off their talents, one by one like peacocks opening the screen, and tried their best to show their appearance in front of Liu Che.
In this regard, most of the princes and ministers are optimistic.
Even, Taohou Liu She also sent a few beautiful concubines and two or three beautiful daughters to participate.
In terms of women, the Han family has an outrageous low temperament.
Dedicating daughters and even wives and concubines to the emperor's bed, this is in the eyes of the Han family. It's not a shameful thing, it's even a glorious thing, it's a glorious thing!
At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao visited Zhao State, and Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, offered his beautiful concubine, which attracted the joy of Longyan.
Later, that beautiful concubine gave birth to Liu Chang, the king of Huainan Li, for Emperor Gao.
Even Liu Che's department actually came from this. The late Empress Dowager Bo was originally Zang Ba's woman......
However, in the face of these flowery beauties, Liu Che is not very interested. As an emperor, Liu Che has seen and tasted all kinds of women. Honestly, simple snapping. It's already hard to attract him.
But inadvertently, Liu Che saw a figure that was already vague in his memory.
This feeling. It's hard to describe.
For example, the men of the Celestial Empire in later generations, who were already married and had children, stood up in the old age, and had some property, barely a successful person, at this time, at a certain party, suddenly met the first love of junior high school or high school, and what is even more unbelievable is that the first love is the same as back then, youthful and moving, full of vitality, a smile and a smile, and nothing has changed.
I believe that many people will find it difficult to control.
If the law of the Celestial Empire allows many wives, then I am afraid that I will marry home at any cost.
Liu Che is now meeting such a person.
Originally, after twenty or thirty years, I don't remember many things, even my appearance and name.
I only vaguely remember those happy days and happy times.
And now, she reappeared, like in her previous life, sitting alone in a corner, wearing a small white flower symbolizing widowhood, plain and lightly, but her figure was surprisingly plump, even if it was a wide Hanfu, it was difficult to hide the fullness of her chest.
Liu Che immediately remembered her nickname.
"Ya'er......" Liu Che sighed in his heart.
The other party is Liu Che's first woman in this world in his previous life, the eldest daughter of the former King Taifu of Hejian, Wei Zhang.
Counting the time, she should have promised someone again at this moment, right?
Liu Che wasn't sure.
So, waving his hand, he called Wang Dao to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Go and ask, whose little lady is that woman?" β
Wang Dao immediately took the order and left, and after a while, he came back and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, that lady is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jianling, Wei, it is said that she was widowed four years ago, and now, it seems that she has been promised to Ji Hou Chen Kai as a continuation ......."
Chronicles? Liu Che shook his head, I don't know, this is where the liehou came out.
But Wang Dao was very knowledgeable and immediately added: "Ji Hou is one of the one hundred and eight marquis of the founding of the country, the ancestor Ji Kuang Hou Chen Cang, from Taizu in Feng County, accompanied by cavalry generals, and killed by generals, Lu Xuan, Gong, Hou, seven hundred households, this generation of Chen Kai is the second generation of ......"
Liu Che nodded, the seven hundred families of the liehou belong to a very low status among the liehous.
It's no wonder that Liu Che is not impressed.
But no matter how few of the liehous' food is still a liehou, especially the Ji Hou has been inherited for more than 50 years, which is also an old qualification among the liehous.
Wei Juan was only awarded the Marquis of Jianling with military merits the year before last, and it was the first emperor who was entitled, in order to consolidate his position, it was also a good choice to marry his daughter to an old marquis.
It's just that......
Liu Che was inexplicably on fire in his heart.
"Old man Wei, you're too uninteresting, aren't you?" Thinking about his previous life and being forced to give up Wei Yaer, Liu Che was even more angry.
couldn't help but slap the table, and suddenly, the room was shocked.
"Go and tell SΓΉ Jianling Marquis and Ji Hou, I think this marriage is very inappropriate!" Liu Che gave a faint order, and then left the table.
Although Liu Che's voice was small, there were still a few people who heard it.
When Liu Che left the table, Queen Chen Ajiao was young, so it was naturally difficult to suppress the field.
Everyone began to inquire.
Under the opening of money, nothing can be hidden from the noble ladies and wives and daughters of the palace.
Everyone soon knew what the Son of Heaven said before he left the table.
"The marriage between the Marquis of Jianling and Ji Hou is very inappropriate?" Many people scratched their heads for some reason.
But everyone still vaguely guessed something.
Some people looked at the location of the Marquis of Jianling, and their eyes were full of uncertain doubts, envy, jealousy, and even disdain.
On the contrary, it was the Marquis of Jianling's family, and he messed up first.
This time, the one who led the team to the palace was the wife of Jianling Marquis Weijuan, Wang.
The Wang family is a continuation of the string, and just married into the Wei family two years ago, at that time, Wei Juan just recovered, and the Wang family naturally felt that he should be the head of the family.
Those stepdaughters and stepsons or something, it's best to send them away.
This is why the eldest daughter who was unwilling to marry the old man to marry Ji Hou was forced to marry Ji Hou.
The covetousness is also the dowry given by Ji Hou.
What's more, if she marries her eldest daughter and sends away her other sons, then her son will be able to inherit the title of Marquis of Jianling.
Wei Juan is an honest man, but he can't resist this young and beautiful new wife, so he agreed to the marriage.
It's just that at this time, Wang's face was pale, and his fingers were a little trembling.
The Son of Heaven spoke, and the marriage between Ji Hou and the Marquis of Jianling was very inappropriate.
That must be inappropriate!
More crucially, what exactly does the Son of Heaven mean?
Why did the Son of Heaven say such a thing? (To be continued......)
