After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 280: “A rising tide lifts all boats” in the history of Chinese women

Because of Liu's disapproval, the second prince was unaware of the "love affair" in Xinsu Mansion. Tian also didn't expect that Wang Qing'e, whom she had high hopes for, would have no effect at all, and she did not dare to risk being misunderstood by the fourth prince. She directly contacted the second prince who sent her to the Xinsu Mansion, so she just thought that she had already made a compromise response, and still focused on establishing her position as a "favorite" in the Xinsu Mansion bit by bit.

However, Sikong Beichen, who had been paying attention to Xinsu Mansion, found out that Sikong Yuehu had met Yingshu again.

On the day when Xie Jin announced in public at the court meeting that he "accepted the punishment for his crimes", Xun Nujun took the female doctor Jiang Ji, entered the palace with the talisman held by Ying Shu, and went straight to Zhaoyang Palace.

In Yingshu's view, Jiang Li behaved elegantly and passed the high Jue Hua Pavilion. He did not look around because of the majesty and splendor of the palace, nor was he timid due to restraint. He was actually better than many medical women in the inner court. They were all more polite. Before meeting Mrs. Xie, Yingshu never heard Dr. Jiang speak. She could only guess with her eyes that this female doctor must have a good background.

Mrs. Xie had no intention of seeing a doctor again, and she seemed particularly lazy today. After finishing her chat with Ms. Xun, she glanced at the female doctor who had been sitting on one side for a while. Her square face looked quite serious, not as groveling as the female doctor in the palace. Her skin was already a little loose, but her hair was still black. Madam Xie said to Lady Xun: "In the palace, All the female doctors in the hospital have been trained. Although their medical skills are not as good as those of the medical officers, those who usually come to Zhaoyang Hall for consultation are the best among them. Originally, I had no intention of asking for such a special exception, but my sister-in-law has already taken care of her. We’ve all been brought into the palace, and I’ve been feeling sore in my shoulders and back these past few days, so I’ll try this massage technique.”

Yingshu knew that Mrs. Xie was convinced that Zijiang's confession was true. Those secret medicines in the imperial palace were not even diagnosed at all, so how could they be solved by ordinary doctors? Mrs. Xie didn't mean to belittle Dr. Jiang, she really planned to give up treatment.

"Doctors don't heal those who don't believe in it." Female doctor Jiang saluted and said, "The money received from the doctor by Nvjun Xun will be returned to the women after leaving the palace."

Mrs. Xun quickly advised: "Madam, you must not believe it. Although Mrs. Jiang's family has declined, her great-grandfather and grandfather were famous doctors in Western Henan. Mrs. Jiang now practices medicine in the market, and most of her patients are women. I I heard that Mrs. Jiang was named after the eldest wife's nurse. Her youngest daughter was kidnapped when she was five or six years old. After many years of searching, she finally got the news. She was redeemed from another house, but she didn't know. The mistress of that family had already given her the medicine to eliminate heirs. Later, Mrs. Jiang diagnosed her and gave her the right treatment. Fortunately, although the medicine was overbearing, she recovered and became pregnant after taking the medicine for several years.

There is also a junior in my mother's family who has been infertile for nearly ten years after marriage. I recommended Mrs. Jiang to her with the idea of ​​​​holding on and then trying it out. Now she finally has a legitimate daughter. "

Xun's words were quite thoughtful. Whether it was due to the extinct medicine or her own illness, perhaps Dr. Jiang Ji could provide a chance. She didn't know that Mrs. Xie was already discouraged, but Mrs. Xie was still willing to accept her sister-in-law's care.

No matter how strong a woman is, when she gets married, she will entrust the rest of her life to another family with a marriage certificate. If she has no heirs, she will be like a duckweed without roots. Love cannot last long, and blood connection is like the real marriage certificate. With signatures and seals, my sister-in-law understood why she was stubborn and insisted on letting Yingshu enter the palace. It was because she was too lonely and could not regard herself as a member of the Sikong royal family. When she stood on the chessboard, she always looked the same. A chess piece, even if she has a daughter to accompany her? Her child has the blood of the Sikong royal family and calls her Aniang. To her, the palace is not a chessboard, but her home.

"Are you sure that if I believe in you, you can cure my illness?" Mrs. Xie asked.

What she needs is not an answer, because it is a chess game set up by the king of a country, and she cannot find the way from the chess board to her home.

"There is no doctor in the world who can guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease."

"Your outspoken temperament suits my temper. That's all. Please sit closer."

Mrs. Xie extended her wrist.

Dr. Jiang did not prescribe any medicine. She said she could ensure that Mrs. It is just a matter of not being able to conceive, and it may even damage one's lifespan. However, Mrs. Xie's illness has not caused any damage to her body after years of treatment.

This is also to be expected.

The entry of a medical woman into the palace did not actually attract too many people's attention, because a more sensational thing happened in the court hall. Xie Jin directly took the blame, but did not let Zheng Bei go because of this. Zheng Bei was forced to have no choice but to do so. He could only ask for a punishment. Although these two important ministers and high-ranking officials were not really convicted, and they were just withdrawn from their concurrent duties, many of Changping Zheng's gang members were really punished for concealing the crime of falsely claiming the title. They were punished, dismissed from office, and some of the most outrageous were even sentenced to exile.

There was "lightning and thunder" in the Changfeng Palace, but the spring breeze was triumphant in the Hanguang Palace. It seemed that everyone thought that He Ao was about to be awarded the title of Dazhongzheng. However, in the following several palace discussions, He Ao's party was criticized and disgraced. The prince went into battle in person, which of course added another person with a shameless face. Ying Shu had seen the fighting power of the court officials who were usually keen on talking but were "tireless in destroying people", not to mention He Ao. Even if he is a person with little talent and poor skills, even if he is really as talented as Zheng Bei, he is afraid that he will lose his armor and discard his armor in the face of so many verbal quarrels.

Who can succeed Dazhongzheng? The person Xie Jin recommended was Lu Jing.

At this time, of course, he had understood the emperor's true thoughts, and also knew that without Chen Jun Xie Zaiming and Prince Linyi's secret planning, in fact, neither Cui Yan nor Lu Jing would be able to successfully inherit the power of Dazhongzheng, but compared to Cui Yan and Xie Jin are indeed more willing to see Jiang Donglu "get power".

The former dynasty and the rear court seemed to have returned to peace, but Yingshu often went to Shenyuan Hall. She had to assist the Lord of Shenyuan Hall in drafting the reform of the small election order system, and she also had the opportunity to familiarize herself with the official records of Daji. However, when Dianjun saw her that day, he said congratulations to her first. Yingshu didn't expect her happy event for a moment, but was stunned. Dianjun held her hand: "I just heard that it was actually Ah Shu’s maternal grandfather became a member of the Grand Central Committee.”

"On behalf of my grandfather, I would like to thank you." Yingshu sat down with a smile. She saw that the paper and pen were ready on the case. She took the ink stick and polished the ink while saying, "But this is not a happy event for me. , the Lord of the Palace did not know something. The order was announced to the court the day before yesterday, and Madam He made a fuss. There were many female historians and nuns present. Madam He said like that... 'If Your Majesty really takes a fancy to Wang Wuniang, Why not just give her the title of concubine and keep her in the Qianyang Palace, which is to allow her to interfere in the government's affairs!"

Yingshu said it easily, but Dian Jun frowned: "Mrs. He slandering you like this will not help your reputation."

"Someone must believe this. Let's not talk about others. Even Mrs. He doesn't believe it. If His Majesty is confused by personal affairs, he makes hasty decisions about the personnel in the court. The Crown Prince has not committed any serious offense and is the king. The emperor's direct descendants are orthodox, so why do Mrs. He and Guiren Zheng think that they can shake the throne with the dedication of their respective families?"

The ink spindle was spinning leisurely in the inkstone, and it was like a stream of light shining into Ying Shu's eyes, and the light and shadow were spinning faintly.

"Mrs. He's expectations were too high and she was even more disappointed. However, she actually understood in her heart that without the support of the Changping Zheng camp, Duke He's reputation alone would not be recognized by the family at all. Officials who are responsible for the great and upright affairs Family background is only the benchmark, and high moral standing is also an indispensable condition. Whether it is talent, learning or conduct, at least on the surface, it cannot easily find faults for political opponents. This time, Duke He was first deceived by Duke Chang Ping and was too self-righteous. Of course, Duke Chang Ping cannot really be used by his opponents."

"Gong Yanling is still enough to convince the public."

"In terms of talents, my grandfather is actually not as good as Duke Chen, and compared to Cui Shangshu, his qualifications in official affairs are also insufficient. It's just that my grandfather was recommended by Duke Chen first, which made Cui Shangshu's popularity somewhat unmatched. The He and Zheng clans were definitely not willing to see Cui Shangshu become the Great Zhongzheng, so this time my grandfather was awarded the ministry so smoothly."

"Why do the He and Zheng clans lean towards Duke Yanling?"

After grinding the ink, Yingshu stood up, cleaned her hands, dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote a word on a piece of paper.

"In?" The palace gentleman was thoughtful.

"The Jiangdong Lu family has not been involved in the dispute over the throne, and there is no bias in court affairs. As for my grandfather taking charge of official affairs, it will not be detrimental to the He and Zheng families, and it will not endanger the second and third princes. Therefore. First, the Jiangdong He family ceased its activities, and since the establishment of Dongyu, Dazhongzheng was the first time to pay homage to a family member from Jiangdong. After all, most of the Lu family's in-laws were from Jiangdong families, and even his grandfather was in charge of official affairs. , and should not be biased towards the northern families.

The situation that Duke Changping is facing now has completely made Chenjun Xie an enemy. The competition between the two clans in the court will continue. There is no hope for Duke Changping to get the official position. If he makes enemies again, Jiangdong Lumen will be trapped even more. A crisis beleaguered from all sides? Although the battles for power are cruel, Changpinggong still understands the basic rules of when to advance and when to retreat. They are all "battle-hardened" and will not go to extreme lengths. "

"That's it." Lord Shenyuandian let out a long sigh.

Yingshu knew that her grandfather's promotion would not actually make her "profit", but for Jiangdong Lumen, it was indeed a great joy for the head of the Lu family to be awarded the concurrent title of Dazhongzheng, and Lu Wan and Lu Yan finally After understanding where the happy event that Ying Shu mentioned before was actually implemented, even Lu Wan couldn't help but tell her mother about Ying Shu's "foresight". Lu Jing's eldest daughter-in-law was from the Zhou family, and her great-great-grandfather Zeng Guan became the governor. , advocated the fight against the Xiahou regime. The Zhou family was also a famous family in Jiangdong, but the Zhou family had some quarrels with her sister-in-law. This was when Wang Lan lost power due to Wang Zhi's army. The Zhou family tried hard to persuade her sister-in-law to make peace with Wang Dao, but she failed to persuade her. For a while, I complained that my sister-in-law didn't care about the pros and cons.

But contradictions were contradictions, and Zhou had never hated his sister-in-law. When Lu Wan talked about what Ying Shu had revealed earlier, her face immediately became serious: "It is His Majesty's preference that the great master should also be awarded the post of Zhongzheng. The emperor has dismissed her as a middle-aged woman, so she should have heard about the discussions between His Majesty and the important ministers. She was willing to reveal the information to you two in advance, knowing that you would not spread it around. Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, you will not be able to do so. It’s time to mention Di Xiu’s private revelation again!

You are different from Di Xiu. When you were young, you also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it was just to cultivate your temperament. Wan'er is slightly better, especially Yan'er. Have you ever understood the essentials of classics and history? Don't think that now that your grandfather has won an important position, you can also talk about court affairs. It is indeed Jiang Donglu's blessing that your grandfather has been awarded an important position. On the contrary, you must be more careful in your words and deeds.

I know that you and Dixiu are close friends, but your destinies are different. What she will experience in the future is no longer your knowledge. Therefore, in the future, mention Dixiu less to people, even to your husband-in-law and sisters-in-law! "

The Wang and Lu families have the same thing in that they both have a mistress who is not very in charge of things. Lu Jing's old wife was actually born in a general family, but she got the root of the disease when she gave birth to Yingshu's mother-in-law. However, his memory has declined severely, and he has long been unable to cope with household affairs, so he simply handed over his wife to his eldest daughter-in-law. One day, he suddenly thought about Yingshu, and said to Lu Jing: "There is a banquet at home, you Don't forget to ask for a favor for Dixiu, and let her take a few days' leave and stay at home for a few days. She is already seventeen years old. Although she won't be able to leave the palace for a while, if If she has a son who is suitable for her, it is good to make a verbal agreement to get married. This is a bit unethical, but... the young lady is so independent, her grandfather is the first Grand Central Chancellor, and her maternal grandfather is the current Grand Councilor, so her status is of course It doesn’t matter if it’s unusual or unconventional.”

"You have forgotten that what I told you before is that Emperor Xiu's marriage will most likely fall to Guisujun."

The old lady thought for a long time and hesitated: "Did you say this? Alas, my mind is getting worse and worse. Now I have forgotten what the fifth prince looks like. Emperor Xiu is so good-looking. They are really good." Is it a good match?"

Lu Jing couldn't help but feel troubled: "You were so enthusiastic about marrying off Wang Dao because of her appearance!"

"I was the one who persuaded you back then, but what's wrong with this marriage? When the Duke of Linyi was very popular, there was no news about my daughter-in-law after she gave birth to the emperor. Did my husband-in-law ever dislike my daughter because of this? I have so many children. , As far as my marriage is concerned, it can be said that it is an excellent one, but it is a pity that Emperor Xiu’s marriage is not as smooth as my mother’s.”

"Don't worry about Di Xiu." Lu Jing saw the relatives and friends who had come to congratulate him all day long, as well as the visitors who had not been around much before. Everywhere from his eyes to his ankles was tired, but his mind was still like a revolving door. , unable to fall silent, he sighed and said: "My in-laws worship me as the Great Zhongzheng, which means both prestige and prestige. When I go to Chen Jungong to worship me, I will at least have a prestige. Now that such a big opportunity has fallen on me, Lu Jing, it is actually It's a contingency plan. Your Majesty has confidence in me, but I'm not really popular among the public. Emperor Xiu is now half a member of the royal family. I'm afraid even the in-laws can't decide on her marriage."

"Guisujun's concubine must have a simple family name, right?" The old lady didn't seem to hear Lu Jing's words clearly at all.

Lu Jing couldn't laugh or cry: "He is the daughter of concubine Qiao, and Pingyi Qiao is the maternal clan of the fifth prince."

"Yes, yes, I remembered it. It seems that the daughter of the Qiao family is best friends with my young mother." The old lady finally smiled: "The daughter of the Xie family is proud, the daughter of the Ren family is bold, but the daughter of the Qiao family is My daughter is the most well-behaved. At that time, I saw that although she looked outstanding, she had an extremely docile temperament, so I asked the young lady to invite her to play at home. If Guisujun's temperament followed that of Concubine Qiao, he would probably indulge Dixiu. Then I won’t worry.”

Concubine Qiao was now overjoyed!
