Chapter 211 Ding You Duo Qing, From the Second Rank!

Princess Yuan, the eldest daughter of Prince Lao Jian, was regarded as the apple of the eye by her parents since she was born, and was decreed by Emperor Yongping at the age of three to be the honorable princess, and the children were loved by their parents and protected by their elder brothers.After marriage, the husband and wife are also loving, and the parents-in-law are 'forced' to be kind.

There is not even a concubine or concubine next to the husband, and there is no confidante, and the couple live a clean life.Even miraculously, even the luck of the heirs did not follow the royal family of the Shen family, but gave birth to three sons and a daughter, a proper hero of the Zhao family.

Princess Yuan's life has been really smooth and smooth. The only regret is that her biological mother passed away earlier and died when she was a teenager.Then, her father married a stepmother who was about the same age as her... However, even so, she didn't suffer at all, and helped her sister-in-law to anger her stepmother, scolding her stepmother every three days, and doing it every five days, she quickly cleaned up her stepmother I trembled at the sight of her! !
——In front of her, I dare not raise my voice.

Therefore, it can be seen that Princess Yuan is not a good-tempered person.In fact, because she has hardly suffered any blows in her life and was pampered and brought up, her character is a bit unscrupulous, and she dares to do anything, "Shen Cangyu, hehe, what is it? It's just a poor little child in the clan that no one cares about." That's all!"

She snorted coldly, with a disdainful and flamboyant expression on her face, "At the beginning, what was the situation of Prince Rong's Mansion in the clan? Who didn't know, who didn't know? When I was in the middle of the capital, their father and son didn't know what happened to Yongping Emperor Uncle What about rectification?"

"Now, once Xianyu turns around, how many days will he be proud of? How dare he treat my daughter like this! Do you despise her? Bah, Shen Cangyu, why should he?"

It was nearly ten years ago that Princess Yuan followed Zhao Ying out of Beijing. At that time, King Rong was still in "self-confinement", and Shen Cangyu... was indeed as she said, with a cloak on her head. The honor of the son of the royal family, but in fact, no matter whether it is in the clan or among the nobles in the capital, it is not as respectable as the son of an ordinary small official.

Being treated coldly, being ridiculed, being rectified...Among Emperor Yongping's express hints, Rong Wang's Mansion is just a dog who doesn't care, and those who are kind-hearted or deep in the city can still stand by and face each other indifferently.But those villains who want to curry favor with Emperor Yongping, or simply dislike the king... don't be too happy if they make trouble! !
Prince Rong has locked himself up, no matter how much those villains hate... they can't rush into Prince Rong's mansion to do something?They didn't have the guts, but Shen Cangyu, who was walking outside and struggling to find a way out for the Rong Palace, really suffered a lot.

No matter what he is today, he will develop a temperament that looks like a spring breeze no matter what, even if he is angry, he will not explode on the spot... It is because of the 'growth' during that period.

When Princess Yuan left the capital, the situation of Prince Rong's Mansion - Prince Rong was confined by himself, leaving only Shen Cangyu, a young man who was half-understanding in the capital, struggling in the clan - could be described as the most difficult.But Princess Yuan herself is the daughter of Prince Jian's mansion, the daughter of Yang'er in the capital.As a majestic princess, married well, gave birth to three sons and a daughter, loved by her mother's family and held by her husband's family... the most prosperous time.

With her like this, naturally she can't even pinch Shen Cangyu out of the corner of her eyes.

Of course, later on, Shen Cangyu gradually took over the old department of King Rong, with the support of the legacy of the Weibei Palace, and as he got older, he gradually got a better way of doing things, and there were more and more capable people around him. ...The situation is much stronger than before!It's a pity that at that time, Princess Yuan followed her husband to swim in the "ocean" outside and inside, and was praised by the family members of the local officials so much that she couldn't think of leaving!How do you know?
Even though Shen Cangyu is now firmly seated in the position of regent, aloof and monopolized the power, in the eyes of Princess Yuan, almost subconsciously, she still regards him as the one who is laughed at at banquets, and dare not speak back when bullied 'Junior'.

Old Prince Jian is the cousin of Emperor Yongping and Prince Rong. As his daughter, Princess Yuan is indeed a generation older than Shen Cangyu.

"Brother Ying, you said that you want to promise Liang'er to him. I didn't quite agree with it at first. My good daughter, promised to Shen Cangyu... Even if it is the first match, I feel that it is a loss, but she is still a side concubine, and he unexpectedly Do you dare or not!!" Princess Yuan looked down on Shen Cangyu very much due to her inherent impression, and with an angry look on her face, she reprimanded fiercely, "If you don't know how to praise things, why bother with him, just get rid of it all!! "

"Yuan'er! Except him? It's easy to say, but the current situation..." On the side, Zhao Ying has long been used to Princess Yuan's temper. Seeing that she was angry, she quickly reached out and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and sighed in a low voice. He said: "It's not what it used to be!!"

"Our family was in trouble, and all the furniture died. Your husband and I have been released for so long. There is no power in Beijing, and there is no one to help..." He shook his head, with a slightly sad expression on his face. , "Shen Cangyu seized the opportunity and was deeply rooted. I'm new here, so I can't compare to him..."

"Brother, you and your nephew can help. Even though he is young, he is still a majestic emperor!" The Queen Mother Zhao suddenly said hastily. Help him stand firm with all his strength, and face Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao who made her flustered and terrified, "I can help too, brother, although, although I don't know what to do? But I am the queen mother, this Identity should be of some use to you!"

"Oh, Ping An'er is too young!" Zhao Ying sighed quietly, looked up at the Queen Mother Zhao with embarrassment, and shook her head again: "And you still have the Empress Dowager Song and the Empress Dowager Wu on your head." These two mothers-in-law... have not yet obtained the power of the harem, even if they want to help me, they will be powerless."

"Brother, you can't say that. You are my own brother. We are the only two left in our Zhao family. Me, your nephew, us orphans and widows... Brother, you can't leave us alone!!" Hearing what Zhao Ying said, the Empress Dowager Zhao was really anxious. She was helpless in the palace, guarding her frail son. But he was going to rely on Zhao Ying, how could he give up easily?

Stretching out her hand to grab Zhao Ying's sleeve, the Queen Mother Zhao said anxiously: "Brother, I don't understand anything, and Ping An'er is young, you, what do you want us to do? Just say it straight! As long as you can do it If you arrive, I will definitely not refuse, you are Ping An'er's uncle, and you will definitely not harm him... I believe you."

"In this case..." Zhao Ying's eyes lit up, and his eyelids were slightly vertical. He covered the smile and light hidden in his eyes, and only said lightly: "Empress Dowager, I came back this time to attend the funeral for my parents. Ying Jielu has kept filial piety for three years, and as for Liang'er's marriage, I will help you, but now it seems that Shen Cangyu's ambitions are not small, and you and Ping'er are indeed in danger..."

He paused, looked at the anxious expression of Empress Dowager Zhao, and sighed as if he was very embarrassed: "I am your elder brother and Ping'an'er's uncle, and now only you and I are left in our family... we can't Leave it alone, since that's the case, let Ping'an'er make an order first, and take love from me!"

The Great Jin ruled the country with filial piety. After the death of parents, it is proper for children to keep filial piety, even the emperor is no exception! !Zhao Ying was doing well as a senior official outside the country, so why did she want to come back to Beijing?Wasn't it because the Zhao family was destroyed by the deposed prince, so he had to resign and keep his filial piety?
The three-year period of filial piety is actually 27 months, and now it will be less than a year... However, as a granddaughter, Zhao Liang'er keeps a filial piety for her grandparents, but only ten months, her filial piety period has passed, so Only then can I talk to Shen Cangyu about marriage.

After three years of filial piety, he was not allowed to be an official, to have banquets, to entertain guests, and even to eat meat... Zhao Ying came back to the capital from other provinces, not for this kind of life! !
Back then, you couldn't eat meat, you couldn't entertain guests, you couldn't go out... To Zhao Ying, it was a trivial matter, but you couldn't be an official, 'Ding You' for three years... It would cost your life, okay?

His nephew has already become the emperor, he is still so young, and there are only Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao who are in power in the court... A young man and an old man are not as good as he is in his prime, well-traveled in officialdom and rich in experience.

At this moment, whether it can achieve the real honor of being under one person and above ten thousand people in the Great Jin Kingdom is the most important relationship. How can Zhao Ying be willing to waste three years in vain?
Three years! !Really 'Ding You' passed by, and when he recovers, the day lily may be cold! !
Zhao Ying is not willing to waste time by observing filial piety, but as a son of man, his parents died so cleanly, Da Jin ruled the country with filial piety, how dare he not keep it?I'm afraid it will be so bad that thousands of people will cast aside it, and I can't justify it.Therefore, since she didn't want to take the blame herself, Zhao Ying naturally had to find a way to solve it.

The Emperor Duoqing - this is Zhao Ying came up with an excellent way to solve his practical difficulties without affecting his reputation.

The so-called Ding You: Officials temporarily resigned from office due to the death of their parents and returned to their hometowns to guard the system. They pretended to be "Ding You", also known as "Ding Jian" and "Shou Xiao".Duoqing, especially in the face of national crisis, or the military, or the government's needs, force officials not to return to their hometown Dingyou, but must stay in the court, or officials have already begun to observe filial piety before the deadline—just like Zhao Ying.

The court forcibly recalls him to serve as an official in advance. This situation is called Duoqing.Orders from above must be obeyed, and once Ding You encounters Duoqing, he must obey.

However, the Jin Dynasty has always governed the country with filial piety. Although the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers is greater than that of father and son, ordinary officials cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were only three incidents of Ding You seizing love. In fact, two of them were generals who met soldiers and horses at the founding of the country. The two armies were seduced before the battle, and the latter was At the time when the old and new emperors alternated, the chief minister Tuogu was taken away by the former emperor before he collapsed due to illness.

In particular, it can be seen that important officials who are not related to the rise and fall of the country, or to hinder the operation of the court... basically will not be robbed of love! !After all, the Great Jin State has been passed down for hundreds of years. Even though there are still not many royal family members, the officials can be regarded as full of talents. Impossible.

Before the little emperor came to power, this one was still struggling in other provinces, trying to find a chance to return to Beijing to join the cabinet! !

— This is especially true of his status.

One more is not much, one less is not much, talent belongs to talent, but it is not that important.

Duoqing——If you follow the normal procedure, it won't be his turn at all! !Zhao Ying didn't want to be cast aside by others and leave a bad reputation for not keeping her filial piety.So... the scapegoat will naturally be borne by the Empress Dowager Zhao and the little emperor.

The queen mother returned to her natal family, and the emperor personally issued an order. As a courtier, Zhao Ying naturally could not refuse. Although she was "helpless", she could only feel sorry for her parents and was resolutely "robbed".

The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, Zhao Ying is a "loyal minister".

"Brother, don't worry, this matter is easy to handle, I will tell Ping'er to make an order immediately!!" Queen Mother Zhao didn't feel Zhao Ying's scheming at all, and agreed very happily.

"Well, Empress Dowager, I'm going back to the court...I'm afraid Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao won't agree. If Lord Long Live wants to make a decree...the military is expensive, and it's best to be fast!" Zhao Ying carefully urged.

"Okay, I'll let Ping An'er directly announce the will in the hall tomorrow, and see who can object to it!" The Queen Mother Zhao made a vowed promise in a tone of "this is not a problem at all, my brother left it to me", "At that time, Ping'an'er will make an order to directly let my brother enter the cabinet. The first assistant has Duan Sidao, the old man, I'm afraid I can't do it, but I can be a second assistant...My brother will definitely be able to afford it."

"Don't don't, don't, don't, empress dowager, you're thinking too well!" Zhao Ying was naturally moved by the position of the second assistant, but he was no more than a female relative of the empress dowager Zhao, and he knew nothing about government affairs. It's very... lucky to be able to win the love and return to the court, Cifu... Hehe, as long as he dares to intervene in the cabinet, Duan Sidao can kill him without Shen Cangyu!
"Xu Shangshu of the household department was copied and beheaded because of the abolition of the prince. I remember that his position was replaced by the former servant of the household department left..." Zhao Ying recalled with deep thought: "and the left servant of the household department The position of assistant minister seems to be vacant, and the work will be shared among the officials of the Ministry of Household... Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, isn't it?"

Xu Shangshu from the former Ministry of Household Affairs - without a doubt, he is Xu Rongcheng's biological father, the disused princeling whose head was beheaded after being witnessed by Luo Chuchen and Luo Chuning.

"This... the left servant of the household department? I, brother, I..." I don't know! !The Empress Dowager Zhao was dumbfounded by Zhao Ying's question. How could she know about the affairs of the court, the arrangements among officials, a female family member of the harem...?
She is not the Empress Dowager Song, so she can live a good life, but it is not what she should know to care about—things in the court.

"Queen Mother, you are really..." Zhao Ying couldn't help but sighed deeply when she saw her sister's appearance.Speaking of which, if the knee is the emperor in his prime and the head of the country, it is really appropriate for the Empress Dowager Zhao to ignore the court affairs and concentrate on looking for the appearance of the harem.But, how old is Ping An'er?She doesn't understand anything. As the queen mother of a country with a special status, she can listen to the government behind the curtain at a critical moment... The Queen Mother Zhao is really unqualified! !

That is to say, Shen Cangyu's power came by coincidence, and his background is not deep enough. If you change to a well-prepared clan, even if the surname is not Shen, it's just someone with a foreign surname, and there is such an emperor and queen dowager on his head... he will definitely be deposed before he returns to Beijing. Turn over! !
I'm afraid even the country's surname has been changed, and what's the matter with him, Zhao Ying! "Empress Dowager..." He lowered his eyelids, recalled it carefully, and then said with certainty: "There is indeed no one who serves as the left servant of the household department, and this position is vacant. It's better, when the court is early , You made Lord Long Live take my love and seal me in this position."

"When I was released from abroad, I worked in the south, and I was also an official of the second rank, but the left servant of the household department was from the second rank, a rank lower than my original official position, but the officials in Beijing have always been more noble than those in other provinces. , it's okay." Zhao Ying's eyes were deep.

"However, your nephew is the emperor, and your younger sister is the queen mother. Brother, you finally came back... your official position is even lower than when you were outside..." Queen Mother Zhao frowned, and anxiously retorted, "How about I let you The emperor demoted the current Minister of the Household Department, let him still be the left servant, brother, you come to be the minister..."

"Ridiculous!" Before the Queen Mother Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Ying scolded with a downcast face, "It's unreasonable for me to be robbed of my love, and if it really happened, it's because of Lord Long Live's surprise, Shen Cangyu He and Duan Sidao are scruples about Long Live Lord, so they don't pursue it deeply. But in the current situation, the current household secretary is obviously Shen Cangyu's man. You want to take his official position and move me? Shen Cangyu won't bite me to death. Is it strange?"

"If one fails, even the matter of seizing love will be dismissed!!" He said in a deep voice, seeing the embarrassment of Queen Mother Zhao, he quickly comforted him: "The most important thing now is that I can stand in the hall, Speaking for the Lord Long Live, what about the official position? When the Lord Long Live takes power in the future, can he treat me as an uncle badly?"

"Of course not!" Queen Mother Zhao shook her head quickly, and assured Zhao Ying with a smile on her face. It seemed that Zhao Ying had helped her son secure the throne in her mind. Became the real empress dowager, the elder brother also became the chief assistant, helping the son govern the court, the scene where their mother and son left their names in history...

There was an unstoppable smile on the corner of her mouth, and the Queen Mother Zhao narrowed her imaginary eyes. Unfortunately, after a while, she suddenly remembered the faces of Shen Cangyu and Luo Chuchen when the filial piety banquet was held just now, and she couldn't help but feel depressed. Said: "My son Ping'an is the current emperor and the ruler of the Great Jin Kingdom. If you want to appoint your uncle as a cabinet minister, you still have to look at the face of a mere prince. You are really useless..."

"I know that this matter should be taken care of slowly, and my brother also has his own difficulties, but letting me watch Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao flaunting it, it really makes people..."

"That's why I said, just get rid of Shen Cangyu directly!" Princess Yuan said, interjecting coldly, "Duan Sidao is old, and he may not live for a few years, and his power has shrunk, and he is not A person who is helpless is just lingering on his last breath!!"

"Our real enemy is only Shen Cangyu. He is young, scheming, and a close relative of the clan. I really let him go and let him become powerful. If there is no opponent, I am afraid that the throne of Long Live Lord will..." Princess Yuan's eyes His face darkened, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "Originally, we wanted to use Liang'er to marry him, but since he is so ungrateful, why should we be polite to him, why not..."

"Yuan'er, stop talking like that. Although the current situation is more difficult, it's not the time to see each other and die." Zhao Ying hurriedly comforted his wife, and then looked up at the woman who had been lowering her head. She said to her daughter, "Liang'er doesn't need to marry Shen Cangyu, it's actually not bad when you think about it, my direct daughter, who was raised tenderly since she was a child, how could she be willing to send her to a prostitute to be a mere side concubine? "

"Are you willing to be me? Isn't there no way!" Princess Yuan rolled her eyes, "Shen Cangyu doesn't look gentle and easy-talking on the outside, but in reality he is smelly and tough, and no one can make friends with him. We She hasn't returned to the capital for a long time, and... that daughter of a prostitute is still somewhat capable, and she can't even arrange for people to enter the Prince Rong's mansion. Apart from marriage, is there any other way to set a nail by Shen Cangyu's side, For future use?"

"It was originally like this, but since Shen Cangyu is not willing... Our daughter is not short of anything, so there is no need to catch up with her..." Zhao Ying pondered for a moment, and asked: "The one that was prepared before is from Lin Zimo, who is close to Shen Cangyu's friend. How's the plan? Didn't you just say that you happened to find a suitable person and arrange to go to his backyard? How is it now?"
