After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 102 The noble descendants of the Xuan family
Another ten days passed peacefully.
A battle report was encrypted and sent to Sikong Tong's court in an urgent manner, but Yingshu also witnessed it with her own eyes. The battle report should actually belong to the category of memorials, but they are different from ordinary political memorials. Memorials about the war situation Reports generally do not need to be transcribed and filed immediately, let alone encrypted and urgently. As for the war situation on the front line, Sikong Tong certainly does not need to discuss with Yingshu, a little female historian. The reason why he let Yingshu read this secret report is, It was because Sikong Yuehu reported something in this memorial that actually had little to do with the war situation.
The main force led by Sikong Yuehu had not actually launched a general attack on Yizhou. However, when another "surprise force" to disturb the enemy raided Huangchuan, a group of more than ten refugees came to surrender. In fact, these more than ten refugees were all They were farmers in Western Henan. Later, Western Henan was destroyed and Luoyang fell. In order to avoid becoming slaves of Northern Zhao, these farmers agreed to flee. Later, when Eastern Henan was restored, King Langyi and Chenjun Xie allied forces attacked Fuyi. Prefecture, these refugees fled to Yizhou again. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Yizhou fell again, so they had to flee again.
But this time during their escape, they met a woman. She only had an old servant and a maid with her. Although the old servant was over sixty years old, she was very skilled. This woman claimed to be a descendant of the Xuan family.
"Does Emperor Xiu know about the Xuan family?" Sikong Tong asked.
"I didn't know what was going on at first, but since I entered the palace, I have read a lot of history books in Zhaoyang Palace, and now I understand it clearly."
"Then you can explain it clearly." Sikong Tong obviously wanted to test Ying Shu.
In fact, Yingshu didn't really understand the Xuan family just now. Not long after she got married, she heard Penglai Jun explain the history of the Xuan family in detail.
The Xuan family was once the imperial surname of the Ji Dynasty and was passed down to the country for more than 400 years. In the post-Ji period, the imperial surname was actually a puppet. The three major warlords divided the world. The Xuan family was controlled by the Luo warlords. The Luo king tried to blackmail the emperor. However, the warlords of Yixuan and Dongning did not want to be under the jurisdiction of Luo, and still regarded the Xuan family as the king. Among them, Xuan Ji, who was the king of Yizhou, even claimed to be the queen of the Xuan family.
However, Luo King Xiahou Chen took the lead in proclaiming himself emperor, and successively conquered and destroyed two "vassal kings", Yizhou Xuanji and Dongning Wukan, and unified the world.
However, the Xiahou dynasty could not last more than three generations before it was usurped by the Sikong clan. The Sikong clan's banner at that time was to protest against the Xuan clan. Later, when the Sikong clan founded Yu, they pretended to invite a descendant of the Xuan clan as the emperor. How could the descendants of the Xuan family not know that this was just a polite trick to assist the Grand Sima? The Xuan family's dynasty had long been in ruins and the world no longer needed them as puppets.
When the Sikong family established the dynasty, although they did not really give up the throne to the Xuan family, they always respected the Xuan family as the "Shen Zong", recognized the extremely noble status of the Xuan family, and treated the Xuan family's descendants kindly - as enshrined in golden Buddha statues - - Until the Western Henan was overthrown and the barbarians divided the territory north of the Huaihe River, these barbarian tribes actually paid attention to the "foundation" and the "correct source". They also continued to worship the descendants of the Xuan family as their legitimate inheritance of the destiny of the emperor. The flag of the world.
However, when the war broke out and the real descendants of the Xuan family fled, most of the "Shen Zong" worshiped by Zhu Hu were actually fake Xuan families.
The current Emperor of Northern Zhao actually has two empresses in the inner court. One is his first wife, and the other is the "daughter of the Xuan family." Of course, Empress Xuan is just a decoration. She has a noble status but is actually a puppet. But The Emperor of Northern Zhao declared to the outside world that his Queen Xuan was the only and true "Princess of Shenzong". She was a direct bloodline of the Qianji royal family and was the last emperor of Western Henan. He also gave her the title of "Queen of Yaochi".
However, Sikong Yuehu's secret letter revealed that the woman who was escorted by more than a dozen refugees to seek refuge in Dongyu actually called herself the Queen of Yaochi. She not only claimed that, she also had the credentials she carried with her. The rouge jade pendant passed down from generation to generation to the eldest daughter of the Xuan family is actually a teardrop-shaped rouge jade pendant. According to legend, Meng Sang, the mother of the first king of the Xuan family, had this rouge pendant in her mouth when she was born. She later After becoming the first queen mother in history, Yan Zhi Lei Pei was named Zhi Gui, and was only passed down as the eldest daughter of the Xuan family.
The Xuan family's heirloom jade pendant is of course unique compared to the ordinary rouge jade. First, although this pendant is small and can be held in a baby's mouth, it is much heavier than an average-sized jade pendant. If the Xuan family was born If the eldest daughter cannot hold her mouth, or falls down naturally, or falls while crying, the daughter will inevitably die. However, only the eldest princess of the Xuan family who is truly lucky enough to grow up can not cry without holding the jade in her mouth even though she is just born.
Second, although this pendant is rouge color, if it is soaked in mountain spring water for three days, it will emit a pure white light under the moonlight, which is brighter than the bright moonlight.
According to historical records, the female queen of Yaochi was the owner of the fat rose before the fall of Xiyu.
Although Ying Shu had never seen the legendary Zhi Gui, she could imagine that the reason why Sikong Yuehu believed that the woman who defected to him was indeed the only descendant of the Xuan family, Lady Yaochi, must have verified that unique " "Identity", but in fact, the authenticity of the Yaochi Queen is not that important. What is important is whether it is necessary to recognize the major identities of the Yaochi Queen.
Sikong Tong heard that Ying Shu even knew the origin of Zhi Gui, and he became even more interested: "Do you know the age of the Yaochi Queen?"
"The Queen of Yaochi was granted the title on the full moon day of her birth. She was under one year old. Northern Zhao conquered Luoyang. She must be the same age as His Highness the Crown Prince. Queen Xuan of Northern Zhao, according to the Emperor of Northern Zhao, was five years old. Years ago, he voluntarily surrendered to the Luoyang Palace of Northern Zhao. He held the edict to be named the Queen of Yaochi, which already had a gold seal. Therefore, the Emperor of Northern Zhao was complacent, claiming that he was the overlord of the world recognized by the descendants of Shenzong, and sealed the Xuan family Later, with the same respect as his first wife, the Queen Xuan of Beizhao Palace should also be twenty years old."
Sikong Tong understood the implication of Ying Shu's words: "Do you agree to welcome back the Queen of Yaochi and spread it to the world?"
"Actually, the identity of the Queen of Yaochi is not important, but once she becomes the focus of attention on both sides of the Huai River and the six kingdoms in the north and south, the role of this identity may not be limited to the six kingdoms. Even the barbarians attach great importance to the orthodoxy of destiny and respect Confucianism. How can the people of China, who are the classics of history, abandon their loyalty, filial piety, and benevolence and righteousness? If even the identity of the Queen of Yaochi should be respected by Confucian scholars and ministers, then the etiquette and law of the king as the minister should not be regarded as empty words by the powerful. ”
Yingshu explained the relationship very simply, but it was obviously in line with the emperor's strategy.
Nowadays, many aristocratic families have a more prosperous inheritance and a stronger foundation. They all have to admit that the destroyed Daji Dynasty is an old club, because these families were once loyal ministers of Daji. This is why they abandoned Luo Zun. Yu's main political excuse, although in essence, times have changed. From the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Sikong family could not achieve the situation of unified imperial power when the Xuan Dynasty came to dominate China. It could not welcome back the descendants of the Xuan family, nor could it immediately let all important ministers and The powerful people immediately obeyed the imperial power, but it still needed a process.
No matter how long this process takes, and no matter how long it takes, or even if it requires more layout, checks and balances, battles of wits and even military battles, it is the first step to solidify the etiquette of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules that Confucian scholars must obey ideologically and theoretically. the basis of this process.
The Queen of Yaochi must be welcomed back. This does not require discussion, but welcoming back alone is not enough. She must also be treated with courtesy. Now it is no longer comparable to the past. Even the Emperor of Northern Zhao has to provide a fake descendant of the Xuan family. As the empress whose mother is the queen of the world, can the Sikong royal family just treat her as the Queen of Yaochi?
What makes Sikong Tong difficult now is how to place this distinguished Princess Xuan.
For today's Dayu, it is certainly not advisable to have the two empresses respect the inner court. First of all, this is against the "marriage law" of the Han people's monogamy. Secondly, if this precedent is set, the daughter of the powerful family will not care about it in the future. Doesn't the emperor's married wife have an excuse to demand the same respect as the main wife?
But it is absolutely impossible for Sikong Tong to depose Empress Yu and make the Xuan family empress. The Yaochi Queen cannot become the queen of the dynasty. If she takes a step back, she will become the crown prince and the future master of the harem.
However, the descendants of the Xuan family only have a noble name and have no soldiers or power. Sikong Beichen is originally "innately deficient". If he marries the Xuan family as the crown prince, even if he is strongly supported by Sikong Tong and sits on the throne, he will immediately be ignored by the powerful. , completely violated Sikong Tong's political desire to enhance imperial power, and there was no need to welcome back the Xuan family.
Therefore, the female queen of Yaochi cannot be the crown prince.
So can I be a princess? No, how could an extremely noble descendant of the Xuan family condescend to other women in the future?
Of course, Sikong Yuehu was also worried about the resettlement issue of welcoming back the Queen of Yaochi, so he sent such an urgent secret message on the occasion of the war, so that his father could make plans first, and then announce them to the court after the arrangements were made. Hall.
For Yingshu, the "appearance" of Lady Yaochi was not a sudden accident, because this incident had happened in her previous life. Of course she knew that His Majesty had made appropriate arrangements to allow Lady Yaochi to show her identity. Her Majesty's uncle shouldn't be bothered by this matter, and should discuss it with a young girl like her - after all, there is a reborn person around your Majesty, even if that person is not Shirakawa-kun, it does not affect the outcome. .
This is His Majesty Abo testing her.
Yingshu came to a conclusion and quickly made a decision.
"Abo should first ask His Highness the Crown Prince what he wants."
Ying Shu quickly decided to deal with it by digging a trap for the prince first.
"Do you think Dalang can handle this matter well?" Sikong Tong was a little surprised.
In fact, even his loyal minister Wang Lan, who he had always trusted, had great reservations about the prince's talents. The reason why he was willing to assist the prince was not because of his full recognition of the prince's talents, but because of his He has a long-lasting stubbornness.
If Sikong Tong changes his mind and plans to choose talents, then he must give more real power to the princes, so that he can test the talents of the princes from all aspects and make fair and correct choices. However, in this way, he must first intensify the The feud between the imperial family of Sikong made the situation even more chaotic, so Wang Lan didn't mention the matter of establishing a virtuous person at all. He really understood the emperor Sikong Tong's concerns.
Therefore, even Sikong Tong did not actually think that Sikong Beichen was his most capable son. The reason why he insisted on establishing a direct heir was, on the one hand, limited by the current situation, and on the other hand, it was indeed because of the helpless situation at that time. He had no choice but to send his eldest son as a hostage, which resulted in Sikong Suiyao's death. The Yu family was in pain and Sikong Tong also felt that he had let down his wife and children.
"Since Abo has decided to let His Highness the Crown Prince take over the great cause, he should believe in his own vision." Ying Shu continued to dig a trap.
"But I still want to hear your countermeasures first."
