[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

It's hard to say the same thing, the same thing can make one person feel grateful, but also make another person complain. The world is always regretful.

The imperial edict of Su Xie's promotion to the right minister, Xiao Shen is a veteran of the three dynasties. He understands the emperor's intentions, so he tends to be wise and protect himself.

Although Yan Ling is not a minister of Gu Ming, but after going through the officialdom, he himself is very clear that the dirty things done by his elder brother Yan Xun are enough for the emperor to thoroughly investigate and eradicate the Yan family. Now, the reason why the Yan family is preserved is because the emperor cares about the empress dowager. On the one hand, the Yan family can be used to restrain Xiao Dang.Yan Xun's precedent is there, but the emperor is determined not to make the Yan family a threat to the imperial power. Therefore, Yan Ling has no chance of winning or greed when it comes to Xuanma worshiping the prime minister.

It was Wang Boyuan who complained.

During the Langfengyuan change, Xiao Shenyuan was in Yanjing, he was the one who assisted in drafting the will, he was the one who entrusted Su Suan to ask for help, and he was the one who was not afraid of procrastinating in times of danger.Wang Boyuan thought he had done a lot of hard work, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he was only ennobled as Uncle Linjiang. He was full of complaints at that time, but later he saw that Ming Yanzhi and Le Mao's awards were not comparable to Xiao Shen. He thought about his seniority in the court He is very shallow compared to Xiao Shen, so he barely swallows this grievance.

Those who are interested in official career, who doesn't want to be a general?Wang Boyuan has worked hard for six years, and he has no intention of stopping at the second-rank position as official minister. After finally waiting for Yan Xun's death, this aspect should be in his pocket, right?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

For several days in succession, Wang Boyuan saw his colleagues with whom he had a close relationship flatter Su Xie for a moment, and the resentment accumulated in his heart.However, even if he didn't work in a government office, he would always meet Su Xie face to face in the morning. If he showed displeasure, he would inevitably get a reputation for being narrow-minded, so he could only smile with a stiff face and exchange pleasantries.

Feeling so depressed for a while, the more Wang Boyuan thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and even faintly suspected that what he was doing was not a wise king, and he suppressed heroes before he was in charge, how could he be tolerated in the future?Even if he can be tolerated, there will be no room for him to display his ambitions in the future.

His ambition is frustrated and depressed, he can still hide it in front of others, but how can he hold back in the queen?One day when he came home from duty, his wife was too weak to cook herself, so she ordered the cook in the mansion to prepare dinner. Wang Boyuan thought that everyone could bully him now, even his wife dared to disrespect him, so he rushed up angrily. Then he beat his wife severely.

Ordinary women would swallow their anger when they were wronged by their husband's family, but this wife is distantly related to Gao Shi, the son-in-law of Princess Qinghe.

This is a private matter in the boudoir, how can I go to the public?Qinghe and Xu Jiujiu, a close servant who served the Empress Dowager, casually talked about this matter, and the favor was exhausted, after all, it was someone else's family matter, and there was no need to offend the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for distant relatives.

Xu Jiujiu bowed and said: "Your Highness, although I haven't seen it in person, I heard that Master Shangshu is very serious, and the lady hasn't left the house for a few days." These are Qinghe's original words, and Xu Jiujiu reported them truthfully.

Autumn days are short, the sky outside the window is almost dark, and the cool wind blows.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on the couch, behind her was a freehand white maple screen, and the cinnabar and ochre-colored maple leaves made her complexion paler and weaker.Xu Jiujiu reported the matter to her, she listened, but her hands didn't stop moving, she had already opened a memorial book, and when she heard the words, she paused and asked, "Why is Shangshu like this?"

Xu Jiujiu reported again according to the original words: "It is said that the food prepared by the chef may not be to your taste." The lady suffered domestic violence for no reason, and she couldn't figure it out very well, so she had to tell Qinghe like this after much deliberation.

Liandong said angrily at the side: "Since the food is prepared by the chef, if it doesn't suit your taste, you should go to the chef to vent your anger, but you should find your wife's fault, what's the reason?"

The atmosphere was relaxed during these conversations, no one paid much attention to this matter, they just talked about it casually as a topic of conversation.

Xu Jiujiu didn't hear the Empress Dowager's order for a long time, so he wanted to deal with other affairs by himself. Anyway, he has done what Qinghe asked him to do. He served the Empress Dowager. The eldest princess is as honorable as the emperor's mother. That's all.

The Empress Dowager stopped him suddenly, and ordered: "Send the medical officer over to have a look, and the medicinal materials in the warehouse can be used as much as possible." She probably knew the crux of the matter, and after Xu Jiujiu left, she asked Liandong again, "Su Xie pays his respects." After the prime minister's edict, how did the emperor deal with Wang Boyuan?" In recent years, she has gradually let go of government affairs, and even the appointment and dismissal of courtiers above the third rank was handed over to the emperor.

For the past few days, the government and the public have been calm. She thought that the emperor's measures were appropriate, so she didn't get distracted.

Liandong didn't expect that the Empress Dowager paid so much attention to this matter, and the topic changed to the court affairs, she couldn't help being slightly startled, and replied: "Without him, it's still the same."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly, put down the pen in her hand, but pressed her fist to her lips and coughed lightly for a while.After resting, her complexion was dyed a little rosy, but her feeling of weakness did not decrease sharply because of it. This slightly frightening weakness and pallor seemed to have been deeply implanted in the bone marrow, rooted in the blood, and difficult to remove.

Liandong offered the green tea worriedly, she took it, drank it, and after a while, said: "Send someone to the Xuanshi Hall, so that the emperor will not come to pay his respects at night." How to remedy it, the emperor must come in person, otherwise, In Wang Boyuan's place, he would only act as the emperor because of his mother's order, so he did it as a last resort.

The beasts in the jungle raise their cubs, and when the cub grows up, the beasts will cruelly abandon it and let it survive and adapt to the environment alone.The empress dowager has always upheld such an attitude towards the emperor, pampering her in small matters, and being strict with her in major matters.

When the palace people came to report, Tang Yu came back from the Hall of Martial Arts.

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and riding and shooting were physical activities. After a lot of tossing, I was sweating all over.She sat on the couch, took the towel from Qingdai to wipe off her sweat, her palm-sized face was full of vigor and rosiness.Seeing the palace man in front of him coming from Weiyang Palace, he suddenly felt very happy, talking to him with a smile on his lips and bright eyes.

Seeing this, the palace people feared that the emperor would be angry with him in great joy and sorrow, so they spoke in a softer voice: "Your Highness ordered, Your Majesty should not go there at night."

Since moving into the Xuanshi Palace, Tang Yu would go to Weiyang Palace in the morning and evening to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. First, this was out of the practice of showing filial piety to the courtiers in the world. Second, she could get along with A Niang for a while to make up for the busy day And the miss that can't be seen.

There are only a few situations in which she is deprived of this right and duty, one of which is to make a mistake.She would rather A Niang beat her, scold her and punish her than suffer such torment, but A Niang can pinpoint her thoughts like a snake, and she is very precise.The queen mother may not know that her behavior can be called cold and violent in modern times. She obviously didn't say or do anything, but it hurt the child's heart the most.

As for Tang Yu, who was obviously out of the category of "children", she was thrown cold water because of the palace man's words, and she was depressed for a moment.Soon, she cheered up again, and calmly said to the palace man: "I understand, I will pay my respects to the queen tomorrow morning."

She is sad, but she will never be immersed in sadness.Her soul is an adult, and adults will try to make up for their mistakes instead of evading responsibility. If there are some emotions that children should have, it will only be guilt and introspection.

Tang Yu got up from the couch, handed the towel to Qingdai, and without changing his sweat-stained military uniform, he paced in the hall while meditating, thinking about where he made a mistake.When she made a mistake, A Niang would not tell her clearly, she had to think for herself, if she couldn't figure it out, even if she didn't know what mistake she had made, no matter how hard she tried to preach it, it would be a waste of time.

The Son of Heaven ruled all directions, even if the military and government affairs were upheld by the Empress Dowager, the rest, such as taxes, corvee and natural disasters... the addition of bits and pieces was like a mess, and it took a while to sort it out.

Tang Yu's mind is very clear. She has dealt with ordinary common affairs for six years. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and there will be no mistakes here.She put aside common affairs and searched hard for matters related to major festivals. For anything, if there is a direction, it will not be like looking for a needle in a haystack.Soon, when she walked to the bookcase, her thoughts suddenly became clear. It must be that the right minister's handling was biased.

Su Xie has a vested interest, and Xiao Shen, as the left chancellor and the Duke of Anguo, would not care about the position of the right chancellor.Yan Ling... Thinking about this uncle, Tang Yu frowned and pondered for a while, then quickly ruled him out, then——

He looked anxiously at the chiming bell, it was too early to leave the gate of the palace, Tang Yu hurriedly ordered Chi to lead another person, and respectfully invited Wang Boyuan into the palace.

Chi Zai was the emperor's close servant, so he went out of the palace to invite him in person, which was already very important.After this past, Wang Boyuan was really flattered, the complaints accumulated before disappeared in an instant, and the medical officer sent by the queen mother had already checked the wife's pulse at the mansion, he felt more and more generous with the king's kindness, and felt a little ashamed instead.

After entering the palace, it was time to eat, so Tang Yu invited him to enjoy the imperial meal together.Sitting with the emperor, what kind of grace and honor, Wang Boyuan has already forgotten that the girl in front of him was privately criticized by him as not a "Mingjun" just now, and suddenly feels that even if he meets Su Xie again tomorrow, he will be able to stand up and hold his head up.

Just this is not enough, these kindnesses are false, remember it now, and forget it in the blink of an eye when you go back.

During the banquet, Tang Yu asked him about several gentlemen in the mansion, and learned that Erlang and Saburo were still young, and only Dalang served as a seventh-rank assistant teacher at the Imperial College of the Imperial College.Tang Yu opened his mouth and transferred him to Guozixue as a fifth-rank doctor. From seventh-rank to fifth-rank, the official position was promoted to fifth-rank or second. Taixue is no better than Guozixue. Children, it is of great benefit to expand your network.

Wang Boyuan hurriedly kowtowed his head to thank him, and at this point, the grievance in his heart gradually dissipated.

It is not too late to make amends, but if she is more careful and careful in handling this matter, there is no need to try to remedy it.For example, if you draw a picture, you start writing before you think it through, regret it, and then find something else to cover up the flaws. It does not mean that the flaws no longer exist.

This matter must have left traces of the emperor's partiality in Wang Boyuan's heart.

In the first two years of the pro-government, the relationship between the king and the hero is the most delicate. If it is handled well, the monarch and his ministers will get along with each other to create a prosperous era.

It is conceivable that she didn't think carefully about Wang Boyuan's matter. It was in vain for her to claim that she would be in charge of the government in person, so that A Niang could rest assured.If it wasn't for A Niang's reminder, I'm afraid she would make mistakes again and again, accumulating over time, turning against Wang Boyuan and his ministers.She can't handle the simple relationship between monarch and minister, even talking about implementing the New Deal, talking about being filial to A Niang, it's really... very arrogant.

The next day, Tang Yu went to Weiyang Palace early. After entering the palace, he served tea to greet him as usual, but instead of taking a seat to chat with the Queen Mother, he stood upright and respectful in front of her, bowed his head, and slightly pursed his lips.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager winked at Liandong, and Liandong led the palace servants back.

The door of the palace was closed tightly, and there was only the two of them here, there was no shame or embarrassment, Tang Yu knelt down slowly, and said guiltily: "I'm tired of worrying about this, my son."

The author has something to say:

The relationship changed quickly. In fact, everything was paving the way, but it is very likely that Ni Meng selectively ignored some details... Moreover, if you understand some psychology, you will also know based on Tang Yu's previous life. It is very easy to have an Oedipus complex... So, it is not difficult to change
