[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 18 Relatives 02

In Xiao Wu's eyes, Wu's mother, Yang, has always been a very powerful woman. When she married A Wu's father, she was already a middle-aged mistress. At an advanced age, she gave birth to three daughters one after another—this kind of situation is rare even in modern times,

Because he failed to give birth to a son, Yang had to take his three daughters, orphans and widows, to Chang'an after the death of Father Wu.

In the sad place of Chang'an, Yang's first divorced her second daughter, and then her younger daughter.

I originally thought that the rest of my life would pass like this, but unexpectedly, the eldest son-in-law who was relied on also died of illness, leaving behind only a widow and a pair of grandchildren...

For an ordinary aristocratic woman, this series of blows was enough to make a lady who was over sixty years old feel ashamed, even if she didn't collapse, she would be much older.

But when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu found his old mother-in-law, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was surprised to find that she was so strong and energetic, she didn't look like an old woman at all!

Yang's mind is not as narrow as that of a woman from an aristocratic family. She has the blood of Sui Yang's in her body, bold and unrestrained, courageous, and unyielding to the old!

Even Wu Xu herself, after living with Yang Shi for so many years, feels that her heart has expanded a lot!

Yang would not often teach her how to control the women in the backyard, she would only tell Wu Xu what to do to make her husband respect her more!

Wu Xu likes such a woman very much, and always thinks that Yang is a woman worthy of her respect.

What she often heard was Yang's hearty laughter, but she rarely saw her cry—even if it was crying, Yang only cried a few times in front of her, and it was not because she was helpless, helpless, or powerless. It's just a way of expressing her emotions, such as feeling that her daughter has finally come out after years of suffering, that is a kind of mother's joy...

Wu Xu had never seen Yang's despair.

But this time, Wu Xu felt that Yang's heart was really broken!

"Auntie, wipe your face quickly, this makeup is all over..." Wu Xu really didn't know how to persuade Yang Shi, she hated women crying the most, but Yang Shi still cried so boldly, this...

A good Feixia makeup is almost like a monkey's ass!

When Yang Shi heard what Wu Xu said, she immediately covered her face with a veil, and the heavy rain turned to light rain...

Wu Xu couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly asked the attendants to get the washing water and the dowry box.

When Yang heard that everyone had retreated, she put down her handkerchief, sobbing and crying gradually stopped, and sighed: "I don't know what evil I did in my previous life, but I met this kind of..."

"Aniang, what are you talking about? These irrelevant people don't deserve your anger!" Wu Xu had already heard what happened from the palace servants who followed Yang back to Bieye.

It was Xu Jingzong, in order to please the queen-to-be, who specially recalled A Wu's two half-brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, and Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, Wu's cousins, to Chang'an, and planned to put them in the examination room for promotion. Inside the officials.

When the samurai Xun died, only Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were left among the four sons of his ex-wife Xiangli. look.

Both Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun are the heirs of the patriarch of the clan, and at most they can only be the long history of a state capital.

Xu Jingzong secretly instructed the Ministry of Officials to specialize the four of them, or promoted them several times to become fourth-rank officials, or moved them from local staff to Beijing officials.

At the beginning, Wu Xu was not very willing to reply after reading this statement, but she didn't know who was talking too much, so she ran to flirt with the Wu brothers and show her bottom...

Yang thought she was the aunt of Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers, and the aunt of Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, even if these four people didn't take the initiative to visit her, she would just ignore them.

Therefore, Yang went back to the house that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had bought for her, and invited the four brothers to a banquet.

Originally out of good intentions, Mrs. Yang told the four brothers at the banquet to be good officials and not to lose the face of the ladies in the palace.

Not only did the four of them not appreciate Yang's old grudges, but they were also ashamed to have a nepotism relationship with Wu Xu. Several proud second-generation ancestors angrily scolded Yang, and finally Wu Weiliang, the oldest, returned the favor. : The reason why they were promoted is because of the strength of their father, and they have nothing to do with the queen-to-be!Tell Yang not to act like a benefactor in front of them!

Yang was stunned by the scolding, and before she could react, the four of Wu slapped their butts and walked away!

Yang was so angry, she didn't eat any food, so she went back to the palace crying!

When Wu Xu first heard what the palace servants reported to Wu Weiliang and the others, he was also very angry.

Nima, you still think that I have a nepotism with Lao Tzu, and you don't like it?

I don't think you guys are burdens yet!

One by one, there is more than enough to succeed than to fail!

How many years has passed since Renwu's father died, and Nima is still in the sixth and seventh ranks, which shows that they are all a bunch of incompetent waste!

Proud ass!

After Wu Xu got angry with Xu Jingzong's report about the process of the canonization ceremony, his mind calmed down.

She didn't want to get involved with any members of the Wu family, but now they are committing suicide, so it's no wonder she's 'stern and selfless'!

Wu Xu immediately approved the opinion of Zezi, the new assessment official sent by the Ministry of Officials, so that they don't have to consider the employment status of the Wu brothers, and just ignore these four people...

The official department is a place where people gather together. After Wu Xu's reply, everyone knew it. It seems that these four guys have provoked a mission that should not be provoked, and they were actually put on hold...

You must know that the consumption level in Chang'an is very expensive, and there are a lot of local beetles who can't even afford to rent a house!Even if some local turtles can afford the money, they might not be willing to rent it to you!

Wu Xu doesn't care how long the Wu family brothers can stay in Chang'an, she just wants to completely ignore these guys!

After settling the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Xu had time to comfort Yang Shi—in fact, Yang Shi is not the kind of woman who needs comfort from others.

She heard that Wu Xu did not agree with Zezi's proposal to promote the Wu family brothers, so she just sighed and didn't say anything more.

These days, the power of the clan is still very strong. If the children of poor families who are not covered by the clan want to get ahead, there is no other way except to take the imperial examination.However, officials and eunuchs who were born in the imperial examinations have no buds to speak of.

And a family like the Wu family, which had no foundation at first, managed to produce a great man like Father Wu, and there was no capable descendant to inherit it. How could the Yang family not sigh!

Wu Xu saw Yang's slumped look, so he had no choice but to persuade: "Don't worry about it, Auntie, Wu's descendants are unworthy, and I don't want to be selfish, so I simply don't let them be in high positions, or save them! "

"Hua Niang, I understand what you mean, it's just a piece of family business that your father earned with great difficulty... Sigh!" After all, Yang is still entangled in who should pass on the position of father Wu as the Duke of the state.

As soon as Wu Xu heard Yang's words, she understood what she meant, so she said with a smile, "Aniang is actually worrying about this!"

"You don't have to think too much, with me and the saint here, you will be satisfied!"

Speaking of which, the two brothers of the Wu family are really stupid. They thought that the position of Father Wu would pass to them sooner or later, so they were so rude to Yang!

I don't even think about how Father Wu came to be the Duke of the Kingdom!

If it weren't for Wu Xu's success, there were so many meritorious officials in Wu De's reign, how could he get Daddy Wu to be chased after him!

It is true that the son inherits the father's business, but who stipulates that the title of Zhou Guogong must be passed on to his own son?

It doesn't matter that Yang has no sons!

She just figured out a way to adopt her, and that's it!

Wu Xu made up her mind, but she didn't mention it to Yang right away. She also has a lot of clues that she doesn't understand, and it involves a lot of legal knowledge, so she should discuss it with Li Xiaojiu.

After Wu Xu persuaded Mrs. Yang to leave, she called Xiao Shunzi and asked him to send Zezi, who was inaugurated at the Emeritus Ceremony, back to the Ministry of Rites. The reply was just two words: Do it again!

From the looks of it, that certain person is really too busy to take care of her family's affairs, so let's do more of his own work!

And Xu Jingzong Shangshu, who was full of confidence and thought he could flatter the queen-to-be, was shocked when he saw the word "rework" in Wu Xu's reply: Oh my god!Isn't this Nima's handwriting written by the late emperor? !

Not to mention that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites began to work hard in a cold sweat, but Li Miao, who was in charge of drafting the post-establishment edict, had written a wonderful article eloquently and sent it to the Ministry of Education for approval!

Chu Suiliang was dragged out of the Hall of Liangyi because he contradicted His Majesty Li Xiaojiu before the imperial court last time. Although he still has the position of Shangshu Youpushe, he has been banned from going to work and is waiting for punishment at home.

Uncle Changsun fainted in Liangyi Hall that day, and also asked for sick leave.

Mr. Li Ji has been hiding in his home and has never left his home. Even if he accepted the task of giving the Queen's Book of Treasures, he never came out of the Duke's Mansion...

Mr. Yu Zhining is also sick...

So, now only Laiji, Han Yuan and Cui Dunli are left in the Political Affairs Hall.

The three of them had different expressions after reading the imperial edict handed over by Li Yifu.

Laiji's temper was the most irritable, and he walked away angrily after reading it.

Han Yuan wanted to meet His Majesty Li Xiaojiu to speak out, but the royal servant would not let him in!

As for Cui Dunli, he was originally a confidant promoted by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu himself. Seeing that the two husbands had run away, he decided to review.

As a result, Cui Xianggong read such a gorgeous manuscript, regardless of whether its content was true or not, he was intoxicated by the gorgeous words of the imperial edict, and couldn't help but praise it.

"As expected of a scribe who is as famous as Lai Xianggong, it's a pity to be buried up to this point!"

Therefore, Cui Xianggong passed the review without changing a single word of the post-sealing imperial edict!

That night, at Li Xiaojiu's strong request, Wu Xu read the canonized imperial edict to him.

Li Zhi listened with great interest, which was very much to his liking.

But Wu Xu only felt that there were black lines all over her head.

Are the people mentioned in the edict still her and Li Xiaojiu?

Why does it sound like a fan?

No matter how speechless Wu Xu was, this imperial edict was still issued as an official document. It was not only sent to the state capitals through the government's internal newspaper, but also published in the largest newspapers in the country.

In addition, Xu Jingzong, who had been tossed by Wu Xu for nearly half a month, also received accurate news that the N+1th plan he submitted was finally accepted by the queen-to-be, and the date of the grand ceremony was also set at the same time. The first day of January.

According to Li Zhi's mind, the sooner the conferment of A Wu as empress, the better, but at the same time, he hoped that the empress conferment ceremony would be held as grandly as possible.His Ah Wu should put on the most gorgeous phoenix robe and the phoenix crown that he has treasured for her for many years, sit by his side generously, and truly become his wife!

In addition, he also issued an edict to the royal family, the governors of the states, and all the neighboring countries of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can attend the grand meeting during the grand ceremony!

He wants to show everyone in the world who is the woman worthy of him!

Of course, doing all these preparations takes a lot of time.

As for Wu Xu, she probably only thought of one thing - it is said that the queen's dress has twelve layers, if it is not winter, she will faint from the heat =. =

The author has something to say: All kinds of tiredness =. =

ps: If you don’t die, you won’t die. Sister Wu is about to get her box lunch, dear friends, don’t worry =. =
