Chapter 112: Queen Mother
After summer, the days are getting longer and there are more activities in the evening.
In the restaurant, Sun Jinshi was pouring wine for two other people.
“Since the list was released, everyone went their separate ways, and it became less and less common. At that time, more than 20 of us were in the same jinshi. At that time, we walked around the street with the golden list and wrote the name of the wild pagoda. What kind of scenery was that? , It has only been a few years, but people are already different, everyone is traveling around the world, and even people are not together.” Sun Jinshi was very emotional and said, “The fate of life is really unpredictable, I remember our imperial examinations that year were very unpredictable. There are twists and turns, leaking questions and re-examinations. Xi Wenji’s brother Xi’s literary talent is so excellent, his genius is absolutely amazing, and he also avoided the second place because he wrote so well. At that time, he was famous in Chang’an, and who would not praise a talented person. However, now Xi Wenji is placed in other places, and few poems are returned to Chang’an. Gradually, few people mention him. Why is it so embarrassing? In the same year, Xi Wenji was still like this, let alone other people. Speaking of which, among our same batch of scholars, there are still many others. It’s best for the two of you to go.”
Today Sun Jinshi did not know what to do, and was very sentimental about the world, so he specially asked Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi to drink. Although Xiao Jingduo was sitting here, he was thinking about Yin Xiaowei.
Yin Xiaowei has just been established, and everything is flourishing. It is time to spend time. From the outside, Yin Xiaowei walks in the palace, with countless privileges, and I don’t know how proud it is, but Xiao Jingduo, the person in it, knows how dangerous it is to run such a privileged institution in complete secrecy.
Especially now that Yin Xiaowei is the symbol of Gan Ning, no matter what, Xiao Jingduo cannot let this team collapse from the inside. Now, in addition to arresting Jiang An Wang Yu Nie on behalf of Rong Ke, Yin Xiaowei is also in charge of inquiring about news and spreading the news of each family in Chang’an to Rong Ke, which is really not an easy task.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jiayi also sat on the side with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Sun Jinshi said many words with emotion, but in the end, he found that no one responded.
Sun Jinshi was a little annoyed: “Xiao and Bai are in the same year, what are you thinking, you are so fascinated?”
Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi both returned to their senses: “What’s wrong?”
“Alas, both of you are busy people, and you are often distracted when you go out to drink.” Sun Jinshi sighed.
“It’s my fault, I just neglected it.” Xiao Jingduo said.
“Where.” Sun Jinshi shook his head, “You are already the Marquis of Chengxi, and now you are still the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, you are different from idlers like me. I am afraid that the Ministry of Rites is very busy, and it was my fault that I called you out.”
Spring Festival is held in March every year. This is a regular subject. A few days ago, Princess Qianning just issued an edict to temporarily add an imperial examination. This is the system. The imperial examination was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and a system department was added temporarily. I wonder how busy the Ministry of Rites must have been these days.
However, Xiao Jingduo stunned, it really wasn’t because of the system.
He felt a little embarrassed, but he could only answer vaguely, so that Sun Jinshi continued to misunderstand. Sun Jinshi praised: “Xiao Shilang is really conscientious and conscientious, and he is still thinking about the matter of making the department. Speaking of which, the spring season in March has just passed, why is there another test in July?”
“There are never too many talents.” Bai Jiayi smiled, “Isn’t it bad to attract some talents for the imperial court?”
Sun Jinshi has been ups and downs in the official sea for several years, and he has gradually figured out the rules of these doorways of the court. Hearing Bai Jiayi’s words, Sun Jinshi shook his head: “Brother Bai is wrong. The imperial examination was indeed designed to attract talents from all over the world, but this one is not.”
Xiao Jingduo put down the glass and glanced at Sun Jinshi, Bai Jiayi also smiled and did not speak. Sun Jinshi continued: “She is becoming more and more reckless now. The courtroom was originally a place to discuss national affairs, but she brought out some spies and walked openly in the court wearing a mask, tying up the entire imperial city. It’s smoky. Now everyone in the DPRK is in danger, for fear of saying something is wrong, so they will be reported by these spies. Alas, I don’t know how long these days will continue!”
“However, since the princess became regent, she has never made any inappropriate decrees. Which one of her domestic and foreign affairs is not handled properly?”
It is a young Mingjun. However, she is a woman.
“Women always have to be with their husbands and children. Now the world is peaceful and there is nothing to worry about. It’s good for her to be able to stabilize the general direction. But if something goes wrong, how can she be a woman? Men do it.”
Xiao Jingduo put the wine bottle on the table and felt that there was no need to speak. Bai Jiayi asked with great interest, “Sun Tongnian, why do you have such a big prejudice against the eldest princess?”
“Alas.” Sun Jinshi couldn’t help sighing again, “It’s clearly stated in the female ring, women want to be virtuous and graceful, but what about this eldest princess? She killed her uncle and destroyed the mercy In the same vein as the prince, the Empress Dowager Wu fell ill with anger. Is this what a woman should do?”
“But this is what a person in power should do.” Xiao Jingduo stood up and didn’t want to stay any longer, “There are still things in the Hou Mansion, so I’ll take my leave.”
Bai Jiayi also got up, Sun Jinshi’s bitter water was drained, so he simply went out with them. Walking around the corner, Sun Jinshi whispered to Bai Jiayi and Xiao Jingduo, “You can’t tell what happened today! It would be troublesome if people from Yin Xiaowei heard about it.”
Xiao Jingduo smiled and said, “Okay.”
In the past few days, the rules of Yin Xiaowei have gradually become clear. For example, the same level wears masks and does not reveal their identities, but they have to take off their masks when they see the top. Although the reason and why of taking off the mask is very absurd, this rule has been handed down.
news out.”
Xiao Jingduo took it, flipped it over and put it down. “Okay. Where’s Prince Zheng’s mansion?”
“Prince Zheng’s mansion is very difficult. The people in the mansion are all transferred directly from the palace. It is not easy for our people to mix in, and it is mixed with fish and dragons. We dare not develop insiders, for fear of mixing in spies.”
“It’s right to be cautious.” Xiao Jingduo said, “Since the people in Prince Zheng’s mansion are all from the palace, then pass it on to the commander and let them bury the thread from the palace. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Yes.”
There were footsteps outside, the subordinates paused, bowed to Xiao Jingduo, put on the mask and disappeared. When Qiu Ju pushed the door open, she saw Xiao Jingduo sitting alone at the desk, looking down at things.
“Master Hou, it’s been hot these days. This is the lotus seed soup boiled in the kitchen. I’ll bring it to you.”
“En.” Xiao Jingduo said casually, “Put it down.”
“Oh.” Qiu Ju asked while putting the food box, “Master Hou, Dingyong Hou’s mansion has sent someone over, saying that the old lady invites you back.”
“Now?”
“Yes, people are already waiting at the concierge.”
Xiao Jingduo rolled a page of the book and said, “I still have something to do now, let them wait first.”
Let the old lady’s people wait… Qiu Ju’s heart trembled and replied: “Yes.”
When Qiu Ju went out and relayed Xiao Jingduo’s original words to the people in Dingyonghou Mansion, she thought that the other party was about to jump up, but she didn’t expect the other party to be very calm: “What Chengxihou said was , Lord Hou’s business is naturally much more important than ours, since Lord Hou has something to do, we’ll just wait.”
Qiu Ju is quite amazed. If it was in the past, they would never have dared to neglect the old lady’s people in Qingzeyuan, but now, Dingyong Hou’s mansion has sent people over, and Xiao Jingduo’s casual words can make them nod and bow down The ground should be down.
Many things have really changed.
At this time, there was no one in the heavily guarded study. Xiao Jingduo, who was supposed to be handling official business, had already changed his clothes and walked in Princess Qianning’s mansion.
People in the princess’ mansion are not surprised by this scene, there are many Yin Xiaowei walking in the princess’ mansion every day, they will avoid it at first, and wait a lot, the maids Also get used to it. Sometimes there will be other masked Yin Xiaowei on the corridor. When these people see the silver pattern on Xiao Jingduo’s body from a distance, they will immediately bow sideways and say, “Envoy to the Right.”
The Yinxiaowei is divided into two parts, the left and the right. Xiao Jingduo manages the right part and is responsible for the affairs of the court. However, there was a huge gap between the left and the right. Given Xiao Jingduo’s position in the Yin Xiaowei, he did not know what the left was responsible for and how many people he had. There is also a commander above the left and right departments, who is in charge of the left and right departments, accompanied by the princess, and is responsible for the secrets and personnel in the palace. The commander was one level higher than Xiao Jingduo. He only knew that the commander was the dark guard beside Rong Ke. He had gone through the two dynasties of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wenzong. He could be regarded as watching Rong Ke grow up, and he was the oldest and most trusted person around her. . The commander had no obvious identity and was loyal to Rong Ke, and because of this, Rong Ke handed over the palace to this dark guard, and also granted him the position of the highest commander in Yin Xiaowei.
Xiao Jingduo thought to herself, this is Rong Ke’s usual check and balance method. Yin Xiaowei leads the entire army and is the closest person to Rong Ke, but his sphere of influence is limited to the palace, and there are not many subordinates outside to support him. Competitive relationship, in this case, even if he is in charge of the real power outside the court, the power will not expand infinitely.
Some people are born into that position.
Meeting Sun Jinshi today was an accident. The funny thing is that this nerd still said in front of Xiao Jingduo that Rong Ke and Yin Xiaowei were not. Xiao Jingduo didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry. But it is undeniable that Sun Jinshi’s words are actually the attitude of most people in the DPRK towards Rong Ke.
In their eyes, Rong Ke is a woman first, and then the princess regent.
However, Xiao Jingduo knew that Rong Ke was a master worth following, which had nothing to do with men or women. It’s only the second year now, let’s see.
When Xiao Jingduo arrived at the meeting room, he found that no one was there.
“Where’s Your Highness?”
The maid who was serving he hesitated: “His Royal Highness, she… She said that there have been too many cases of injustice brought up by Dali Temple recently, and she has to observe the sentiments of the people.”
“This ancestor…” Xiao Jingduo had a headache, ‘she didn’t even look at when it was, how many people outside wanted to harm her, yet dared to run out on her own. Where did she go? I’ll go find her.”
The maid shivered and pointed in a direction, Xiao Jingduo said nothing and left immediately.
Rong Ke is indeed a very talented master, but this master is always doing small things.
At this time, he remembered that he seemed to have a few people left.
People from Dingyong Hou’s mansion sat in the concierge all afternoon, and they drank several pots of cold tea.
The changes in the world are really embarrassing. Facing their eldest son, they didn’t even dare to show their faces, so they could only politely say: “Lang Jun, the old lady asked you to go back.”
“Why?”
“The Empress Dowager Wu is seriously ill these days. The old lady wants to take the entire Xiao family’s house to greet the Empress Dowager Wu. Although you have already divided the house, this kind of thing…”
Xiao Jingduo already understood, but he always felt that something was wrong: “The queen mother is seriously ill, and I don’t know how many people are serving the illness. We will send the post, will the palace allow it?”
“The servants in the palace dare not say much, but our filial piety always comes.”
Xiao Jingduo kept looking at the messenger, and he was sweating coldly. In the end, Xiao Jingduo smiled softly: “Okay.”
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Sun Jinshi: I don’t think Gan Ning can do this, so take jujube pills. By the way, don’t tell Yin Xiaowei’s people.
Xiao Jingduo didn’t speak, Bai Jiayi smiled and said “um”.
After many years, Sun Jinshi published a book:
