Huaiyu is slightly cool

In the 28th year of Taiping, a teahouse in Changxing Street, Changping City, the capital of Jingguo, was full of voices, and the storyteller was talking about the great achievements of the founding emperor Wu Yunhao, who overthrew China and established a great scene for the people of the world.It's just that today, it didn't get full applause like in the past. The old and young men sitting below were talking about another person at this time——Yunzhou Xihui Prince's mansion brought a child born in Yuyu to Beijing and was chosen when he came to Beijing. Made a princess.

When the storyteller saw the situation, he couldn't go on talking, but the bounty has not been earned yet, so he can't just go on like this. Thinking of this, the storyteller stopped talking, rolled his eyes, and slapped the gavel , taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about the novelty that has been discussed by everyone in the past few days: "Wu Xiaochen, Shen Duanfang, Zhou Weizhang... Let me talk about the Zhou family of these nine prominent families. In the autumn of five years ago, Zhou Qing, the only son of Duke Xihui of Yunzhou, one of the founders of Jingguo and the Three Kingdoms, his wife gave birth to a daughter, and the girl was born holding a jade fish. At that time, it was spread as an anecdote, and this incident was shocking. Today's Holy Majesty, after finding out what happened, thought it was a sign of auspiciousness. Not only did the whole family of Duke Xihui's mansion reward him generously, but he also married Princess Jiamin of Prince Rui's mansion to Zhou who was studying with the prince in Beijing at that time. Qing's eldest son, Zhou Yu, would send envoys to Yunzhou to congratulate the child every year when it was the child's birthday month.

In the early spring of this year, Duke Xihui's filial piety had been completed for one year, and Zhou Qing, who had inherited the title of Marquis of Xiping and served as governor of Yunzhou, followed the emperor's order and brought his daughter to Beijing to thank him for granting the seal.Unexpectedly, when Emperor Jingdi Wu Mingtai saw his daughter, he loved her very much. Not only did he name him "Huai" by himself, but he also left his daughter alone when Xiping Hou returned to Yunzhou, and took her with him every day to take care of her and teach her.Later, seeing the prince who had just lost his wife due to postpartum hemorrhage not long ago, he gave the crown prince who was stared at by all the nobles of the family to such a little baby who was not yet in his first year, and the officials were stunned. He Shijia also attracted a lot of discussion from the common people. You know, the crown prince just held a coronation ceremony this year, and the eldest son is born. The age difference between the two must be too much.

But at this time, the imperial decree has been issued, the government of Xihui has received the decree, and the horoscope sent is already on the way to Beijing. This matter is considered a foregone conclusion. Come out and resolutely oppose this marriage!This person is not an ordinary person, he is the old lady, the emperor—the grandfather of today's emperor!After all, this old lady has been in charge of the emperor for many years, and her prestige has not diminished. As soon as she shows up, she forces the emperor not to post the emperor's list to announce to the world.

Now the Holy Majesty was annoyed, he just didn't want to take the list back, but just after two days of delay, the memorials of the hundred officials flew onto the imperial case like snowflakes.After all, since the Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, the old lady, the emperor, and the other two ministers appointed by the previous emperor, Xiao Yi and Chen Wei, had the full authority to handle all affairs. The body was weak and bedridden, so he handed over the power in his hands. As a result, the old lady, the emperor, had just recovered a little, and hurriedly intervened after hearing the news.Judging from the previous precedents, this matter is likely to be left alone according to the old lady's intention.So, everyone, it's not that I don't talk about this matter, but that this matter is doomed to fail. "

The storyteller spoke with certainty, and the audience nodded in agreement.

At this time, in a rich wing room on the second floor of the tea house, a woman and two men were sitting, both dressed in brocade clothes and with extraordinary bearing.One of the young men, who was wearing a mountain blue round-neck robe embroidered with auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, and a gauze head, after hearing what the storyteller said, smiled slightly, put down the stack of letters in his hand, stood up and bowed dignifiedly, and greeted him. The woman who was kneeling first said: "Your Highness, the collection of these evidences is quite complete, and the timing is not bad, but if you want to bring down the Xiao family, the odds of winning are only three points."

The woman called His Highness looked only eleven or twelve years old, and the facial features on the goose egg face were not as small and delicate as those of southern women, but had deep eyes and a straight nose, which appeared to be well-defined.Although he is still young and lacking in stature, his brows and eyes reveal a heroic and bright look, with a bit of a girl's unique radiance, but his every move is so dignified.After hearing the young man's words, there was no emotion on her face. Instead, she raised a confident smile and said with confidence: "I am not so naive as to think that I can destroy a family with criminal evidence, but it is natural for me to dare to take risks." Confidence can win. These evidences are only prepared for Mr. After all, treason is a serious crime. As the adopted son of the Xiao family, Mister will inevitably not be implicated."

The young man called Mr. Xiao is Xiao Yu, the adopted son of Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yi, who was born in the first year of Taiping. At the age of 15, he was named a child prodigy because he was No. 3 in the list. He cheated and was revoked as a Jinshi. Since then, he has been devastated, and his life is even more destitute. Later, Xiao Yi couldn't see it and arranged a small official for him so that he would not starve to death.But at the age of 28 this year, he is still just a doctor of the Simen Hall of the Imperial College, a junior official of the seventh rank.

Xiao Yu looked at the eldest princess who seemed to be winning.The eldest princess Wu Liangyue is the legitimate daughter of the Queen's Wei family. She was born noble and was deeply loved by the emperor Wu Mingtai. She was named Princess Jinning when she was one year old. After all, she is only ten years old now, and she is also a girl. I am afraid that she does not understand the huge power of the Xiao family as several generations of powerful officials in the political struggle.Although the dynasties have been changed now, Jingguo has only been founded for more than [-] years, and because of the imperial power struggle between the old emperor and the current emperor, not only did not eliminate the old forces that the founding emperor Wu Yunhao regarded as a serious problem, but also let Those old families have the potential to make a comeback.At this time, the old marriage alliances between the aristocratic families are still there, and the relationship between them is intricate, which can be said to affect the whole body. Xiao Yu still felt a little worried and said: "This matter is a matter of life and death, there must be no horses... "

Before he could say the word 'tiger', Shen Buyi, who had just been promoted to the imperial censor, interjected impatiently: "Mr. I intended to be His Highness's counselor, but now I am hesitant, without the slightest manliness. Is it possible that I can't believe His Highness and want to repent? Or just want to sit back and reap the rewards? Then let me tell you, Your Highness is extremely intelligent and predicts things like a god , very comparable to others, there are countless self-recommended followers every day, and there is no shortage of you in the eldest princess's house! I only respect you sir because His Highness treats you politely, otherwise you Xiao Yu will have to salute and shout when you see me My lord!" He was wearing a crimson gown with a round neck and narrow sleeves, and he was the son of the second wife of the Shen family of the nine families mentioned by the storyteller, 'Wu Xiao Chen Shen Duan Fang Zhou Wei Zhang'. Xiao Yu with the surname Xiao.

"Master Shen!" The eldest princess yelled to stop her, but Shen Buyi had already finished speaking, the eldest princess had no choice but to get up and apologize to Xiao Yu.But before the words came out, Xiao Yu also hurriedly got up, avoiding the eldest princess's gift, but he carefully looked at the eldest princess's face again, and then made up his mind to kneel down and bowed to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, For my minister's consideration, I should also share the worries of my highness. This evidence is submitted by my minister, which shows my sincerity. I am grateful for your highness's kindness. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will never hesitate to die."

The eldest princess was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's Jinning's great fortune to have Mr. help in the future. Don't worry, Mr. Grandpa sent back the news that the Chen family has agreed to assist. The people who go to the grandfather will also operate in the court, and this matter is very safe. When Prime Minister Xiao’s matter is over, Jin Ning will ask his father to go out of the palace to build a mansion. Shi also hopes that Mr. Jinning will not dislike Jinning's dull talent, and teach him with all his heart, and Jinning will definitely work hard and live up to everyone's expectations. Of course, he will never treat Mr. badly."

"Then Wei Chen will replace the wine with tea here, and wish His Highness the victory."

"That's right, Mr. Xiao is indeed a gentleman who understands current affairs, and I can't blame His Highness for thinking of you." Shen Buxin interrupted first, Xiao Yu ignored him, and just raised his teacup slightly to signal to the eldest princess.

The Eldest Princess seemed to be in a very good mood, she smiled and took a glass to agree: "Okay, everything is ready at this time, how can we not win the battle? Then I will drink wine with my husband, and I will never get drunk!"
