Chapter 382
After the empress dowager and the vassal king were confirmed about the country, Zhao Xie and the empress dowager were a little unbelievable. After asking their daughter-in-law again and again, the two of them believed it. Both of them couldn't help but burst into tears.
Empress Dowager Xie, let's put aside all the previous affairs.
The two of them have nothing else to think about now, but regret, regret how they offended Empress Dowager Xie when they were deceived by lard back then.
Although the Empress Dowager Xie was not the Empress Dowager Xie at that time, who made her so prominent now?
The two cried hard for a while, before leaving, they went to Empress Dowager Xie to say a lot of words of gratitude, Empress Dowager Xie saw that both of them were gray-haired, and said, "Take care of yourself."
In addition to expressing their thanks, the two also presented a heavy gift to Empress Dowager Xie, their humble and respectful attitude set an example for the palace.
Not to mention others, Empress Su was secretly startled, thinking that her mother-in-law treated her very kindly, but these two imperial concubines during Taizong's time, who were also prominent people in the inner palace, were so respectful to her mother-in-law!
Empress Su examines herself, and now Cao Qi and the two concubines have sons by their side, she is the main palace, but her knees are empty.Empress Su thought about Empress Dowager Xie, and felt that she still had to learn from her mother-in-law. Even if she had no real blood and blood like her mother-in-law in the future, but she could have such abilities as her mother-in-law, she would never miss it in this lifetime.
Empress Dowager Xie also gave rewards to the two empress dowagers, which were not generous, but within the limits.Also, several feudal lords of the uncle generation also got some old things of the late emperor to think about. The vassal kings of the uncle generation felt that it was more humane for the Empress Dowager Xie to do this matter.They thought that the Empress Dowager Xie had changed her nature, but they didn't expect that after giving them something, the Empress Dowager Xie changed her face again and told the vassals to serve the emperor and the concubine. Xie Moru said that and called the vassal king Toothache, because, what Xie Moru said was, "If you let me know that the emperor and concubine are not living well in the feudal kingdom, I will bring her back again."
Princes: Can our own mothers be filial?
Of course, the vassal kings also knew that it was just that the Empress Dowager Xie didn't say anything to death. One day, the Empress Dowager Xie would be unhappy. It is estimated that the Empress Dowager Xie would have to accuse them of serving the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager not wholeheartedly.When they were introduced, not only would they have to take their mother back to the palace and separate their mother and child, but they would also be charged with unfilial charges or something.
Empress Dowager Xie's various methods really made the vassal kings bound everywhere, and Jin Wang said angrily in private, "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, the old saying can't be wrong!" Such a difficult product.It's thanks to Xinjun's benevolence, otherwise this Xie surname would be tormented, and they wouldn't have had a hard time!
The old group of feudal kings hurriedly took their wives back to the feudal land, for fear that there would be some evil moths from Mrs. Xie.Of course, before leaving, if the Empress Dowager Xie also met with her natal brothers and nephews, the Empress Dowager Xie is okay, at least, the natal family is pardoned by the Empress Dowager, although the brothers and nephews are keeping their filial piety, but One day with Empress Dowager Xie, Xie's family will be a first-class family in the imperial capital.Zhao Taihuang, Huang Guitai Concubine is a bit bleak, her natal family was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, a war in the south of the Yangtze River, the family's property is over, and the Zhao family's vitality has been seriously injured.Fortunately, there are titles and princes in the imperial capital, but no one expected that the Empress Dowager Xie would be so merciless after she came to power, and she would push her natal family's titles to the end. Her natal brothers also looked gray-haired, so now Zhao The rank of the family is low, and the positions of the children are mediocre. The entire Zhao family is in a state of decline.
Zhao Taihuang, the noble concubine's eyes were sour, her heart was sore, but there was nothing she could do.
Now, it is no longer her age.
The old group of vassal kings have gone, and the new group of vassal kings have to keep filial piety for their fathers in the imperial capital, but the concubines and concubines are all thinking in their hearts, whether they will be able to work together with the children Just Fan.
Right now it is not possible to say that time, the entire court is guarding the late emperor's national filial piety.There is also the matter of giving the late emperor the name of the emperor in the court. Although the late emperor reigned for a short time, he has made great achievements in literature, governance and martial arts. Even the Jiangnan battle during Emperor Taizong's reign was also quelled by the late emperor with his troops.When the first emperor was in power, he had a lot of benevolent policies to recuperate with the people.Moreover, he was kind-hearted and compassionate to the common people, so he was finally given the posthumous title of Renzong, who was known as Emperor Renzong of the East in history.
At the same time, Mu Fan also gave his aunt an honorary title, Wen Lie, two characters.
The word Wen Lie is an excellent honorary title. It is said that Wen Lie has made great achievements in the world.The Ministry of Rites did not agree with the use of these two words, the words were too much, and Mu Fan insisted on insisting. Wei Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was a little dissatisfied, but it was not good to refute the new emperor about the empress dowager's title, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, and privately told Xinjun, Fear that there will be no seal in the future.
The honorary title is so good, what about the posthumous title in the future?
If Wei Shangshu hadn't been Mu Fan's teacher, Mu Fan would have turned against him just because of this. Just like that, Mu Fan also said with a straight face, "I understand the merits of the queen mother, and the late emperor also understands."
Wei Shangshu didn't say anything.
From then on, everyone can call the Queen Mother as Queen Mother Xie, or Queen Mother Wen Lie.
After these things were done, Mu Fan officially took over the affairs of state, and now he was faced with the vacancy of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which was vacated by Xie Baizhi. Who would take over?
Mu Fan went to ask the Empress Dowager Xie for advice, and the Empress Dowager Xie did not interfere with who Mu Fan chose to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry, she said, "The positions of the six ministries can only be taken by important ministers in the court, and you can just let whoever is safe. But this candidate must convince everyone."
"Queen, what does it mean to be convinced?"
Empress Dowager Xie said to him, "When your father first came to the throne, Prime Minister Su passed away immediately. In the cabinet, there were Yan Shangshu, Qin Shangshu, Tang Shangshu and others. At that time, Yan Shangshu was already in his early seventies He is old. In terms of seniority, he is the oldest. But he is not in good health. In terms of relationship with your father, Qin and Tang have the upper hand. Later, your father thought twice, and still chose Yan Shangshu as his prime minister. You know why?"
"Father, this is based on seniority, right?"
"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, both Qin and Tang became friends when your father was in Qiandi, and everyone in the court knew that the two of them had been close to your father long ago. But Yan Shangshu is different. , Yan Shangshu has always been neutral in the court. Before mourning the crown prince, Yan Shangshu did not show any bias towards your father. Here is another matter of the emperor and the courtiers. In fact, the emperor must first understand The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all your people. When you look at a person, you can't just judge whether you are close or not, but also the character of the person. After being the emperor, there is no one who does not want to be close to the emperor. If your father was over the strict Shangshu supported Qin and Tang, so where should Yan Shangshu be placed? Those ministers who are as loyal to Emperor Taizong as Yan Shangshu should be disappointed. No one else, every emperor will grow old one day, could it be that when The emperor is getting old, and his subordinates are secretly close to the prince. So, how does the old emperor feel? Loyalty is right at any time. Of course, there are those who are close to the new king. Who will be loyal to you in the future? Those who have merit must be rewarded. Therefore, the most important thing is to be careful when you become emperor. After you knead all the courtiers into a ball, they will not worry about this. I'm jealous."
Mu Fan couldn't help being amused when his aunt used "jealousy" to describe the ministers.Mu Fan originally wanted to support Xueshi Ge who taught him his homework. Xueshi Ge was a former Imperial College Jijiu, and later he was promoted to a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.But hearing what his aunt said about the pros and cons, Mu Fan hesitated. It's not that Ge Xueshi's official rank is not enough, and the master's degree is also a second-rank degree.In the end, after discussing with the cabinet, Mu Fan transferred the governor of Zhili, Governor Zheng, to return to the court and be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Afterwards, the position of Governor Zheng was taken over by the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the position of Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was taken over by the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Governor Cao. He is the father of Concubine Cao.
A Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has just been appointed, Dali Temple Yu Siqing has become an official, this Yu Siqing is still the grandfather of Su Wang Han, the father of the palace concubine Yu Xian, this old Siqing is also nearly [-] years old, It is also the age of retirement.As soon as he became an official, Mu Fan gave enough face and made enough gestures to keep him, and Yu Siqing submitted the official application for three times, and Mu Fan agreed.Yu Siqing agreed to become an official, and the position of Dali Temple Minister became vacant. Among the ministers recommended by the cabinet was Su Buyu, the inspector of Shaanxi and Gansu. Mu Fan also knew Su Buyu, and knew that the inspector of Su was not Known as a talented man, he has a good friendship with his aunt. Su Buyu is still the queen's uncle. Mu Fan also asked Su Buyu, but Su Buyu's official career has not been very good in recent years. Mrs. Su died of illness, and Su Buyu had to resign and go home to observe mourning for three years.
Not only Su Buyu wants to resign and go home, but Su Hang, the father of Empress Su, as a grandson, also wants to go home to keep his grandmother's filial piety.
Mrs. Su made a wife for Su Xiang. It is said that this old lady's life expectancy is not short.Mu Fan reassured Empress Su for a while, Mrs. Su has always been a first-rank imperial order, the imperial court rewarded the funeral money as usual, and Empress Su, as a great-granddaughter, also added a share.
Right now, the position of Minister of Dali Temple is undecided, and the Minister of Taipusi sent by Suhang Airlines also needs to reconsider the candidate.
This time, Mu Fan was not polite, and promoted a Song scholar, a fourth-rank Hanlin scholar, who was also one of Mu Fan's husbands.Then, the Minister of Dali Temple appointed Du Shilang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
Looking at Mu Fan's behavior, he knew that it was taught by the late emperor, coupled with Empress Xie's guidance, although he was young, he acted quite steadily.
When Mu Fan came to the throne, there was an old minister who deserved to be used in the previous dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Xie in the harem. For a while, there was peace inside and outside, and the country's affairs went smoothly, showing a trend of prosperity.Mu Fan is quite energetic. He is young, hardworking and frugal, and he has some tricks to buy people's hearts.He also took good care of the former emperor and former officials, and he did not treat the gentlemen who taught him in the past. He also released several companions around him to serve as officials in various places.
Everyone felt that the first emperor established the present emperor as the emperor, which is indeed the most sage.
Empress Dowager Xie just asked Empress Su to take good care of Mu Fan's body.
Empress Su is dedicated to her husband, and she is extremely respectful to her mother-in-law. Concubine Cao Shu and Concubine Qi Xian are also very filial to Empress Dowager Xie.In addition to delivering soup, I also bring my son here every day.Empress Dowager Xie said to Concubine Cao Shu, "I have everything here. If you serve the emperor well, that is your filial piety to me." Empress Xie knew Mu Fan very well. Mu Fan received an orthodox royal education. From the point of view, I also know that Mu Fan is clear-headed.However, people's aesthetics are different. What Mu Fan loves is probably not a woman like Queen Su who is so cautious in her words and deeds, who abides by the rules everywhere.What Mu Fan prefers is Concubine Cao Shu, who is charming, graceful and small.Especially men value the eldest son, and Concubine Cao Shu gave birth to Mu Fan's eldest son. Therefore, although Empress Su and Concubine Qi Xian had a better background, it was obvious that Concubine Cao Shu was more popular with Mu Fan.
Of course, Empress Dowager Xie will not interfere with Mu Fan's preference for concubines. Concubines serve the king, and Mu Fan prefers Concubine Cao Shu. Empress Dowager Xie will not say anything.The government is already tiring, and it can make the emperor feel more relaxed. As far as this is concerned, Concubine Cao Shu should be rewarded.
However, when Empress Dowager Xie saw her soup, she thought of Concubine Cao Shu making two bowls of soup, one for Mu Fan and one for Ling Xiao.Empress Dowager Xie never felt that she was a magnanimous person, so it was only common to Concubine Cao Shu.It was Mu Yi, the son of Concubine Qi Xian, whose name was chosen by Empress Dowager Xie herself, and Empress Dowager Xie liked Mu Yi more.
For this matter, Concubine Cao Shu often gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that Empress Dowager Xie was too difficult to please.Of course, she only dared to grit her teeth in secret. When she saw Mu Fan, she still had to say, "Go to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager today, and the Empress Dowager also said to ask the concubines to serve Your Majesty well."
Mu Fan smiled, "The queen mother never forgets to care about me, so you should honor my mother more for me."
Concubine Cao Shu smiled mildly. Although she is already a mother, she is also indescribably charming, and said with a smile, "This is the duty of concubines. How can your majesty say it?"
Mu Fan nodded in satisfaction. After seeing his son for dinner at Concubine Cao Shu's place, he went back to Empress Su's.
Speaking of which, Mu Fan and Empress Su were still living in the original palace while he was busy with the late emperor's funeral and arranging the court affairs.It was the first time in the cabinet that Mu Fan remembered the matter of moving the palace. Mu Fan discussed with Empress Dowager Xie about rebuilding the Palace of Mercy.
Empress Dowager Xie said, "This is also true. The Ci'en Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Shizu. I heard that it was very elegant at first. Later, the Hu family secretly lived in the Cheng'en Palace and made it resplendent and resplendent like a house of outbreaks. It is simply inappropriate. I will go there tomorrow." Look, and talk to the head of the Department of Internal Affairs about how to fix it."
Naturally, Mu Fan had no answer.
The Empress Dowager Xie has never been able to do things according to orders. What kind of things she wants, what materials, and how to make them, she also drew a blueprint for the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, and then asked the head of the Department of Internal Affairs to give She made an offer, and then began to rebuild the Mercy Palace.
Only when Empress Dowager Xie moved to Mercy Palace, could Queen Su's place be moved to Fengyi Palace.
Empress Dowager Xie also counted the affairs of the internal treasury. She and the late emperor's things were originally shared. After all, Empress Dowager Xie also had her own private house, but after a long time, the late emperor kept asking Empress Dowager Xie to help him manage the internal treasury. , and went together.Now that the late emperor is gone, how much is the inheritance of the late emperor's inner treasury? Meaning, the big boss still belongs to Mu Fan.Including the old things of the late emperor, give some to the vassal kings, and also think about it. Of course, don't give things right now, and reward the vassal kings when they are in the vassal, which is also decent.
Mu Fan is not a stingy person for giving things to his brothers, but he said, "The imperial father's internal treasury should be taken care of by the queen mother. The queen is young, and I am worried that he will not be able to take care of it."
Empress Dowager Xie said, "The queen has been married to you for several years. Although she is young, I think she does things properly and thoughtfully. Even if there are people who don't know at the beginning, I am there. Let her take over now, and you will get familiar with it gradually." I have a lot of things to do with my own share." When Empress Dowager Xie married the late Emperor, her generous dowry attracted the attention of the imperial capital.Speaking of which, the late emperor's private house may not be as large as that of the Empress Dowager Xie.
When Empress Dowager Xie said this, Mu Fan also told Empress Su, Empress Su was quite flattered, Mu Fan said, "You have something to do, you need to ask Empress Mother for more advice."
Empress Su responded softly, and said, "My mother's knowledge is far from my comparison. I have benefited a lot from being by my mother's side."
Mu Fan nodded, very satisfied.
Princess Duanning also often went to the palace to accompany Empress Dowager Xie. Empress Dowager Xie said to her, "If you have any letters, or want to bring something to your son-in-law, just tell me that someone from the Ministry of War goes to Xining Pass every month. It is better than sending someone by yourself." Cheap."
Princess Duanning said, "There's nothing wrong with the son-in-law, but I'm worried about Ah Yuan and Aqian." Princess Duanning gave birth to her second son Peng Qian when she was in Xining Pass.
Empress Dowager Xie said, "Just don't worry, the son-in-law is a thoughtful person."
The Mercy Palace was built very quickly, and the Department of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay the project of the Mercy Palace. Empress Dowager Xie moved into the Mercy Palace before she was born.After that, Empress Su moved into Fengyi Palace, then Concubine Cao Shu lived in Zhaoyang Palace, and Concubine Qi Xian lived in Linzhi Palace.For this reason, Concubine Cao was not very satisfied. She wanted to live in the Shuren Palace where the late emperor's biological mother, Empress Su, lived, but she had no say in this matter.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and because it was the first year of the new king's accession to the throne, inspectors from all over the country had to come to the emperor in batches to pay their respects to the new king. Here, there was Concubine Cao Shu's father, Governor Cao, the new governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Concubine Cao Shu's mother, Mrs. Cao also entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager as usual.Mrs. Cao went to the Palace of Mercy first, and Empress Dowager Xie saw her kowtow and let the mother and daughter talk.Mrs. Qi Guogong also came into the palace. The Qi family and Xie's family were originally in-laws. Mrs. Qi Guogong and Empress Dowager Xie have known each other for a long time. There is still a seat here with Empress Dowager Xie, and I can speak a few words of common language.Madam Cao's dignity is naturally not comparable.
Concubine Cao Shu dismissed the palace people and mother complained in her palace, "I ask myself that I am very dedicated to serving the empress dowager, and I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the empress dowager, but the empress dowager is always indifferent to me. My son is the eldest son of your majesty, the empress dowager The empress seems to prefer the second son born to Concubine Qi Xian." Speaking of this, Concubine Cao Shu was very upset.
Mrs. Cao advised her, "The old saying goes on, people's hearts can be seen over time. What are you anxious about?" The girl is young, but Mrs. Cao knows that Queen Mother Xie is not an easy person to please.
"How can I not be in a hurry, I will go abroad for filial piety in the next year, and once I go abroad for filial piety, His Majesty will definitely be drafted." Concubine Cao Shu said sadly, "The empress dowager is really hard to please."
Madam Cao has some experience with Empress Dowager Xie, because the first time she greeted Empress Dowager Xie, no, she was still Empress Xie at that time. , Cao Shuren quite inquired about Empress Xie's likes and dislikes.Now Mrs. Cao is teaching her daughter, "My son, don't be in a hurry. Let me tell you, the empress dowager is the most important thing to behave. When you are in front of her, don't use such sweet words. You have to be cautious." , so that the Empress Dowager will like you."
Concubine Cao Shu curled her lips, "If that's the case, His Majesty won't like me."
Mrs. Cao said softly, "Why are you so stupid? It's just that you are in front of the Queen Mother. She is getting older every day. Why are you so anxious? You are young, and the little prince is still young."
Concubine Cao Shu sighed, "I just don't accept it, obviously I have paid the most. I cook soup for soup every day, and I haven't seen the Queen Mother give me a smile."
"How can being a daughter-in-law be the same as being a girl at home? What's more, the Empress Dowager is always solemn." Madam Cao lowered her voice and said, "It's not appropriate to say that she is not His Majesty's biological mother, so she has to stick to it." Follow the rules."
Concubine Cao Shu also whispered, "You didn't know about Ling Niangniang back then, she didn't even say a word of affection. Thanks to His Majesty's benevolence, he still respects the Palace of Mercy."
Although the mother and daughter wanted to discuss this, they dare not say more in this palace.
Mrs. Qi Guogong stayed with Empress Dowager Xie for a while and then went to Concubine Qi Xian's palace. Those who went to the Duke's mansion to speak were also very kind to Mrs. Qi Guogong, the uncle and grandmother.
Concubine Qi Xian also has her own distress, her pregnancy time is actually the same as Cao's, even in May, but who knows that Cao's gave birth early in mid-April.Concubine Qi Xian was unlucky enough to give birth to her child on the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone said that a child born on the Dragon Boat Festival was unlucky. Concubine Qi Xian was very depressed for a while when she was born on that day. After taking a big name, Concubine Qi Xian is better now.Looking at it now, maybe it was Empress Dowager Xie who named this child back then, and she loved this child a little more. Of course, Empress Dowager Xie would not show preference, but would ask questions from time to time, which made Concubine Qi Xian happy enough.
It's just that in terms of imperial favor, Concubine Qi Xian felt that it was Concubine Cao Shu who came out on top.
Concubine Qi Xian was embarrassed to talk about these things with her uncle and grandmother, but she was talking about children. Mrs. Qi Guogong was also very happy to see the little prince lively, and said to her, "The days are long. If you are in the palace, if you are free, you can spend more time Talk to the empress dowager. If you can be influenced by the empress dowager, you will never be able to use it in your life."
Concubine Qi Xian responded softly.
Concubine Qi Xian inquired about the family affairs again, and Mrs. Qi Guogong said, "Everything is fine at home, and your father's recent letters all say that things are going well outside. Your grandmother originally wanted to come to the palace to see you, and she heard that the Cao family also came to the palace. Just don’t come here, for fear of getting angry.”
Concubine Qi Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandmother is still the same, why can't she come here, I have my own palace now, just enter the palace with my uncle and aunt."
"I also said the same thing. It's not our family who did the wrong thing." The Qi family and the Cao family were at odds, and there was no enmity before. It was because of the birth of the prince. I don't know how the Cao family happened to be in April Premature birth gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor?What kind of family is the Qi family? I haven't seen what kind of things happen in the Duke's mansion. Because my family is honest, I didn't guard against the trick of the Cao family. Therefore, the eldest son was born in the stomach of the Cao family.If it's a full-term delivery, even if the Cao family is first, the Qi family will be convinced, but if you are half a month ahead of time, the Qi family will suspect that there is something tricky here.Thinking of Concubine Cao Shu overtaking Concubine Qi Xian in terms of the prince, and then concubine Shu in terms of title, Concubine Qi Xian's grandmother was very violent, and since then she has never seen Cao's family, and she will make a bad face when she sees her.
Grandmother Qi didn't care about the bad face of the Cao family, and her family was not afraid of the Cao family. The main reason was that Grandmother Qi knew that she was straightforward, and she was afraid that she would be rude to Empress Dowager Xie, and would make it difficult for her granddaughter, so she simply asked her sister-in-law to come over.
Mrs. Qi Guogong talked with Concubine Qi Xian about the family affairs, and when the time came, she told Concubine Qi Xian to take good care of her body and show respect to the Queen Mother, so she left.
In this new year, there are governors and generals from other places in the previous court to pay their respects. In the harem, the Empress Dowager Xie is still here. The Empress Dowager Xie is familiar with Zhu Gaoming, and some Empress Su is not very familiar. On the side of the Empress Dowager Xie Sitting for a while, she has learned a lot.
The new year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the New Year's Day in Guoxiaozhong is naturally very low-key, but because it is the first new year since Mu Fan took the throne, everyone is very respectful, and everyone who can arrive has arrived.
Although there is no music, singing and dancing, the reunion banquet on the New Year's Eve is still lively.On the day when Long raised his head, Empress Dowager Xie went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to her mother. In the past, the late emperor went with her, but this time it was Mu Fan who accompanied her. The mother and son went to see the mausoleum that the late emperor was building. year will be completed.On February 29, the first emperor's filial piety was over, Mu Fan followed his aunt and took all the vassals and dynasties to pay homage to the first emperor, and then he officially left the country for filial piety.As soon as he left the country, King Qin and other vassal kings requested to leave the vassal. King Su and others quietly asked Mu Fan about the concubine mother. Mu Fan said, "I'll go ask the queen mother."
Su Wang and the others naturally wanted to bring their mothers to live together and enjoy the family relationship, but their mothers were all younger than Queen Mother Xie, and they were not yet fifty.Sure enough, Empress Dowager Xie directly said to several vassal kings and concubines, "The things in this world are not about worrying about the few but the unevenness. I know your hearts, and you are also considerate of some emperors. The rules just established last year , it’s not good for our own family to break up first. When the concubine reaches her age, you will come to ask for an order.”
Empress Dowager Xie has always been dignified, and the few people were silent.
They have just become feudal clans, and they have a lot of affairs. Concubine Xu and Concubine Tai can think about it, and they all said to their children, "The empress dowager's temperament can't be more generous. You have nothing to worry about. We are also used to living in the palace. , just to spend a few more years with the Empress Dowager."
Su Tai Zhaorong didn't say anything else, but told her sons to work as errands in the feudal domain, and they would naturally be able to reunite when they were old.
In the matter of dealing with the feudal king, Mu Fan followed his father's example completely. He left the eldest sons of his elder brother's family to go to school in the imperial capital. He gave his elder brothers a lot of gifts from the feudal lord, and even proposed that some things belonged to the imperial father's internal treasury. , and there are old things of the first emperor, which were given to the brothers for collection.It's just that Mu Fan came to the throne early, and the children of his brothers' family are not very old. It's worrying to live in the palace without their parents.Mu Fan was also lively and said, "It's just living in the palace. The queen mother likes children the most."
The feudal lords did not object to this proposal. Their growth path also benefited from the teaching of the Empress Dowager Xie, and with the guidance of the Empress Dowager Xie, the children would not be worse in the future.Empress Dowager Xie followed the previous model in the palace. All princes and sons had their grandmothers in the palace. On weekdays, except for the children of King Qin and Zhou's family who were twelve or thirteen years old, the palace was allocated for them to live alone. The rest of the princes lived with their grandmothers. There is also Empress Dowager Xie to help check it, so there is no problem anymore.
Therefore, the vassal kings put their eldest sons in the imperial capital to receive royal education.
Mu Fan had to sigh at this time, his father really made a good start back then.
After the vassal king became the vassal, the Ministry of Rites finally discussed Mu Fan's emperor title, and Mu Fan chose Antai as his emperor title. From then on, Mu Fan was the emperor of Antai.
The story of Emperor Antai began with this draft in the first year of Antai.
(End of this chapter)
After the empress dowager and the vassal king were confirmed about the country, Zhao Xie and the empress dowager were a little unbelievable. After asking their daughter-in-law again and again, the two of them believed it. Both of them couldn't help but burst into tears.
Empress Dowager Xie, let's put aside all the previous affairs.
The two of them have nothing else to think about now, but regret, regret how they offended Empress Dowager Xie when they were deceived by lard back then.
Although the Empress Dowager Xie was not the Empress Dowager Xie at that time, who made her so prominent now?
The two cried hard for a while, before leaving, they went to Empress Dowager Xie to say a lot of words of gratitude, Empress Dowager Xie saw that both of them were gray-haired, and said, "Take care of yourself."
In addition to expressing their thanks, the two also presented a heavy gift to Empress Dowager Xie, their humble and respectful attitude set an example for the palace.
Not to mention others, Empress Su was secretly startled, thinking that her mother-in-law treated her very kindly, but these two imperial concubines during Taizong's time, who were also prominent people in the inner palace, were so respectful to her mother-in-law!
Empress Su examines herself, and now Cao Qi and the two concubines have sons by their side, she is the main palace, but her knees are empty.Empress Su thought about Empress Dowager Xie, and felt that she still had to learn from her mother-in-law. Even if she had no real blood and blood like her mother-in-law in the future, but she could have such abilities as her mother-in-law, she would never miss it in this lifetime.
Empress Dowager Xie also gave rewards to the two empress dowagers, which were not generous, but within the limits.Also, several feudal lords of the uncle generation also got some old things of the late emperor to think about. The vassal kings of the uncle generation felt that it was more humane for the Empress Dowager Xie to do this matter.They thought that the Empress Dowager Xie had changed her nature, but they didn't expect that after giving them something, the Empress Dowager Xie changed her face again and told the vassals to serve the emperor and the concubine. Xie Moru said that and called the vassal king Toothache, because, what Xie Moru said was, "If you let me know that the emperor and concubine are not living well in the feudal kingdom, I will bring her back again."
Princes: Can our own mothers be filial?
Of course, the vassal kings also knew that it was just that the Empress Dowager Xie didn't say anything to death. One day, the Empress Dowager Xie would be unhappy. It is estimated that the Empress Dowager Xie would have to accuse them of serving the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager not wholeheartedly.When they were introduced, not only would they have to take their mother back to the palace and separate their mother and child, but they would also be charged with unfilial charges or something.
Empress Dowager Xie's various methods really made the vassal kings bound everywhere, and Jin Wang said angrily in private, "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, the old saying can't be wrong!" Such a difficult product.It's thanks to Xinjun's benevolence, otherwise this Xie surname would be tormented, and they wouldn't have had a hard time!
The old group of feudal kings hurriedly took their wives back to the feudal land, for fear that there would be some evil moths from Mrs. Xie.Of course, before leaving, if the Empress Dowager Xie also met with her natal brothers and nephews, the Empress Dowager Xie is okay, at least, the natal family is pardoned by the Empress Dowager, although the brothers and nephews are keeping their filial piety, but One day with Empress Dowager Xie, Xie's family will be a first-class family in the imperial capital.Zhao Taihuang, Huang Guitai Concubine is a bit bleak, her natal family was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, a war in the south of the Yangtze River, the family's property is over, and the Zhao family's vitality has been seriously injured.Fortunately, there are titles and princes in the imperial capital, but no one expected that the Empress Dowager Xie would be so merciless after she came to power, and she would push her natal family's titles to the end. Her natal brothers also looked gray-haired, so now Zhao The rank of the family is low, and the positions of the children are mediocre. The entire Zhao family is in a state of decline.
Zhao Taihuang, the noble concubine's eyes were sour, her heart was sore, but there was nothing she could do.
Now, it is no longer her age.
The old group of vassal kings have gone, and the new group of vassal kings have to keep filial piety for their fathers in the imperial capital, but the concubines and concubines are all thinking in their hearts, whether they will be able to work together with the children Just Fan.
Right now it is not possible to say that time, the entire court is guarding the late emperor's national filial piety.There is also the matter of giving the late emperor the name of the emperor in the court. Although the late emperor reigned for a short time, he has made great achievements in literature, governance and martial arts. Even the Jiangnan battle during Emperor Taizong's reign was also quelled by the late emperor with his troops.When the first emperor was in power, he had a lot of benevolent policies to recuperate with the people.Moreover, he was kind-hearted and compassionate to the common people, so he was finally given the posthumous title of Renzong, who was known as Emperor Renzong of the East in history.
At the same time, Mu Fan also gave his aunt an honorary title, Wen Lie, two characters.
The word Wen Lie is an excellent honorary title. It is said that Wen Lie has made great achievements in the world.The Ministry of Rites did not agree with the use of these two words, the words were too much, and Mu Fan insisted on insisting. Wei Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was a little dissatisfied, but it was not good to refute the new emperor about the empress dowager's title, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it, and privately told Xinjun, Fear that there will be no seal in the future.
The honorary title is so good, what about the posthumous title in the future?
If Wei Shangshu hadn't been Mu Fan's teacher, Mu Fan would have turned against him just because of this. Just like that, Mu Fan also said with a straight face, "I understand the merits of the queen mother, and the late emperor also understands."
Wei Shangshu didn't say anything.
From then on, everyone can call the Queen Mother as Queen Mother Xie, or Queen Mother Wen Lie.
After these things were done, Mu Fan officially took over the affairs of state, and now he was faced with the vacancy of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which was vacated by Xie Baizhi. Who would take over?
Mu Fan went to ask the Empress Dowager Xie for advice, and the Empress Dowager Xie did not interfere with who Mu Fan chose to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry, she said, "The positions of the six ministries can only be taken by important ministers in the court, and you can just let whoever is safe. But this candidate must convince everyone."
"Queen, what does it mean to be convinced?"
Empress Dowager Xie said to him, "When your father first came to the throne, Prime Minister Su passed away immediately. In the cabinet, there were Yan Shangshu, Qin Shangshu, Tang Shangshu and others. At that time, Yan Shangshu was already in his early seventies He is old. In terms of seniority, he is the oldest. But he is not in good health. In terms of relationship with your father, Qin and Tang have the upper hand. Later, your father thought twice, and still chose Yan Shangshu as his prime minister. You know why?"
"Father, this is based on seniority, right?"
"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, both Qin and Tang became friends when your father was in Qiandi, and everyone in the court knew that the two of them had been close to your father long ago. But Yan Shangshu is different. , Yan Shangshu has always been neutral in the court. Before mourning the crown prince, Yan Shangshu did not show any bias towards your father. Here is another matter of the emperor and the courtiers. In fact, the emperor must first understand The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all your people. When you look at a person, you can't just judge whether you are close or not, but also the character of the person. After being the emperor, there is no one who does not want to be close to the emperor. If your father was over the strict Shangshu supported Qin and Tang, so where should Yan Shangshu be placed? Those ministers who are as loyal to Emperor Taizong as Yan Shangshu should be disappointed. No one else, every emperor will grow old one day, could it be that when The emperor is getting old, and his subordinates are secretly close to the prince. So, how does the old emperor feel? Loyalty is right at any time. Of course, there are those who are close to the new king. Who will be loyal to you in the future? Those who have merit must be rewarded. Therefore, the most important thing is to be careful when you become emperor. After you knead all the courtiers into a ball, they will not worry about this. I'm jealous."
Mu Fan couldn't help being amused when his aunt used "jealousy" to describe the ministers.Mu Fan originally wanted to support Xueshi Ge who taught him his homework. Xueshi Ge was a former Imperial College Jijiu, and later he was promoted to a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.But hearing what his aunt said about the pros and cons, Mu Fan hesitated. It's not that Ge Xueshi's official rank is not enough, and the master's degree is also a second-rank degree.In the end, after discussing with the cabinet, Mu Fan transferred the governor of Zhili, Governor Zheng, to return to the court and be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Afterwards, the position of Governor Zheng was taken over by the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the position of Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was taken over by the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Governor Cao. He is the father of Concubine Cao.
A Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has just been appointed, Dali Temple Yu Siqing has become an official, this Yu Siqing is still the grandfather of Su Wang Han, the father of the palace concubine Yu Xian, this old Siqing is also nearly [-] years old, It is also the age of retirement.As soon as he became an official, Mu Fan gave enough face and made enough gestures to keep him, and Yu Siqing submitted the official application for three times, and Mu Fan agreed.Yu Siqing agreed to become an official, and the position of Dali Temple Minister became vacant. Among the ministers recommended by the cabinet was Su Buyu, the inspector of Shaanxi and Gansu. Mu Fan also knew Su Buyu, and knew that the inspector of Su was not Known as a talented man, he has a good friendship with his aunt. Su Buyu is still the queen's uncle. Mu Fan also asked Su Buyu, but Su Buyu's official career has not been very good in recent years. Mrs. Su died of illness, and Su Buyu had to resign and go home to observe mourning for three years.
Not only Su Buyu wants to resign and go home, but Su Hang, the father of Empress Su, as a grandson, also wants to go home to keep his grandmother's filial piety.
Mrs. Su made a wife for Su Xiang. It is said that this old lady's life expectancy is not short.Mu Fan reassured Empress Su for a while, Mrs. Su has always been a first-rank imperial order, the imperial court rewarded the funeral money as usual, and Empress Su, as a great-granddaughter, also added a share.
Right now, the position of Minister of Dali Temple is undecided, and the Minister of Taipusi sent by Suhang Airlines also needs to reconsider the candidate.
This time, Mu Fan was not polite, and promoted a Song scholar, a fourth-rank Hanlin scholar, who was also one of Mu Fan's husbands.Then, the Minister of Dali Temple appointed Du Shilang, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
Looking at Mu Fan's behavior, he knew that it was taught by the late emperor, coupled with Empress Xie's guidance, although he was young, he acted quite steadily.
When Mu Fan came to the throne, there was an old minister who deserved to be used in the previous dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Xie in the harem. For a while, there was peace inside and outside, and the country's affairs went smoothly, showing a trend of prosperity.Mu Fan is quite energetic. He is young, hardworking and frugal, and he has some tricks to buy people's hearts.He also took good care of the former emperor and former officials, and he did not treat the gentlemen who taught him in the past. He also released several companions around him to serve as officials in various places.
Everyone felt that the first emperor established the present emperor as the emperor, which is indeed the most sage.
Empress Dowager Xie just asked Empress Su to take good care of Mu Fan's body.
Empress Su is dedicated to her husband, and she is extremely respectful to her mother-in-law. Concubine Cao Shu and Concubine Qi Xian are also very filial to Empress Dowager Xie.In addition to delivering soup, I also bring my son here every day.Empress Dowager Xie said to Concubine Cao Shu, "I have everything here. If you serve the emperor well, that is your filial piety to me." Empress Xie knew Mu Fan very well. Mu Fan received an orthodox royal education. From the point of view, I also know that Mu Fan is clear-headed.However, people's aesthetics are different. What Mu Fan loves is probably not a woman like Queen Su who is so cautious in her words and deeds, who abides by the rules everywhere.What Mu Fan prefers is Concubine Cao Shu, who is charming, graceful and small.Especially men value the eldest son, and Concubine Cao Shu gave birth to Mu Fan's eldest son. Therefore, although Empress Su and Concubine Qi Xian had a better background, it was obvious that Concubine Cao Shu was more popular with Mu Fan.
Of course, Empress Dowager Xie will not interfere with Mu Fan's preference for concubines. Concubines serve the king, and Mu Fan prefers Concubine Cao Shu. Empress Dowager Xie will not say anything.The government is already tiring, and it can make the emperor feel more relaxed. As far as this is concerned, Concubine Cao Shu should be rewarded.
However, when Empress Dowager Xie saw her soup, she thought of Concubine Cao Shu making two bowls of soup, one for Mu Fan and one for Ling Xiao.Empress Dowager Xie never felt that she was a magnanimous person, so it was only common to Concubine Cao Shu.It was Mu Yi, the son of Concubine Qi Xian, whose name was chosen by Empress Dowager Xie herself, and Empress Dowager Xie liked Mu Yi more.
For this matter, Concubine Cao Shu often gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that Empress Dowager Xie was too difficult to please.Of course, she only dared to grit her teeth in secret. When she saw Mu Fan, she still had to say, "Go to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager today, and the Empress Dowager also said to ask the concubines to serve Your Majesty well."
Mu Fan smiled, "The queen mother never forgets to care about me, so you should honor my mother more for me."
Concubine Cao Shu smiled mildly. Although she is already a mother, she is also indescribably charming, and said with a smile, "This is the duty of concubines. How can your majesty say it?"
Mu Fan nodded in satisfaction. After seeing his son for dinner at Concubine Cao Shu's place, he went back to Empress Su's.
Speaking of which, Mu Fan and Empress Su were still living in the original palace while he was busy with the late emperor's funeral and arranging the court affairs.It was the first time in the cabinet that Mu Fan remembered the matter of moving the palace. Mu Fan discussed with Empress Dowager Xie about rebuilding the Palace of Mercy.
Empress Dowager Xie said, "This is also true. The Ci'en Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Shizu. I heard that it was very elegant at first. Later, the Hu family secretly lived in the Cheng'en Palace and made it resplendent and resplendent like a house of outbreaks. It is simply inappropriate. I will go there tomorrow." Look, and talk to the head of the Department of Internal Affairs about how to fix it."
Naturally, Mu Fan had no answer.
The Empress Dowager Xie has never been able to do things according to orders. What kind of things she wants, what materials, and how to make them, she also drew a blueprint for the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, and then asked the head of the Department of Internal Affairs to give She made an offer, and then began to rebuild the Mercy Palace.
Only when Empress Dowager Xie moved to Mercy Palace, could Queen Su's place be moved to Fengyi Palace.
Empress Dowager Xie also counted the affairs of the internal treasury. She and the late emperor's things were originally shared. After all, Empress Dowager Xie also had her own private house, but after a long time, the late emperor kept asking Empress Dowager Xie to help him manage the internal treasury. , and went together.Now that the late emperor is gone, how much is the inheritance of the late emperor's inner treasury? Meaning, the big boss still belongs to Mu Fan.Including the old things of the late emperor, give some to the vassal kings, and also think about it. Of course, don't give things right now, and reward the vassal kings when they are in the vassal, which is also decent.
Mu Fan is not a stingy person for giving things to his brothers, but he said, "The imperial father's internal treasury should be taken care of by the queen mother. The queen is young, and I am worried that he will not be able to take care of it."
Empress Dowager Xie said, "The queen has been married to you for several years. Although she is young, I think she does things properly and thoughtfully. Even if there are people who don't know at the beginning, I am there. Let her take over now, and you will get familiar with it gradually." I have a lot of things to do with my own share." When Empress Dowager Xie married the late Emperor, her generous dowry attracted the attention of the imperial capital.Speaking of which, the late emperor's private house may not be as large as that of the Empress Dowager Xie.
When Empress Dowager Xie said this, Mu Fan also told Empress Su, Empress Su was quite flattered, Mu Fan said, "You have something to do, you need to ask Empress Mother for more advice."
Empress Su responded softly, and said, "My mother's knowledge is far from my comparison. I have benefited a lot from being by my mother's side."
Mu Fan nodded, very satisfied.
Princess Duanning also often went to the palace to accompany Empress Dowager Xie. Empress Dowager Xie said to her, "If you have any letters, or want to bring something to your son-in-law, just tell me that someone from the Ministry of War goes to Xining Pass every month. It is better than sending someone by yourself." Cheap."
Princess Duanning said, "There's nothing wrong with the son-in-law, but I'm worried about Ah Yuan and Aqian." Princess Duanning gave birth to her second son Peng Qian when she was in Xining Pass.
Empress Dowager Xie said, "Just don't worry, the son-in-law is a thoughtful person."
The Mercy Palace was built very quickly, and the Department of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay the project of the Mercy Palace. Empress Dowager Xie moved into the Mercy Palace before she was born.After that, Empress Su moved into Fengyi Palace, then Concubine Cao Shu lived in Zhaoyang Palace, and Concubine Qi Xian lived in Linzhi Palace.For this reason, Concubine Cao was not very satisfied. She wanted to live in the Shuren Palace where the late emperor's biological mother, Empress Su, lived, but she had no say in this matter.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and because it was the first year of the new king's accession to the throne, inspectors from all over the country had to come to the emperor in batches to pay their respects to the new king. Here, there was Concubine Cao Shu's father, Governor Cao, the new governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Concubine Cao Shu's mother, Mrs. Cao also entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager as usual.Mrs. Cao went to the Palace of Mercy first, and Empress Dowager Xie saw her kowtow and let the mother and daughter talk.Mrs. Qi Guogong also came into the palace. The Qi family and Xie's family were originally in-laws. Mrs. Qi Guogong and Empress Dowager Xie have known each other for a long time. There is still a seat here with Empress Dowager Xie, and I can speak a few words of common language.Madam Cao's dignity is naturally not comparable.
Concubine Cao Shu dismissed the palace people and mother complained in her palace, "I ask myself that I am very dedicated to serving the empress dowager, and I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the empress dowager, but the empress dowager is always indifferent to me. My son is the eldest son of your majesty, the empress dowager The empress seems to prefer the second son born to Concubine Qi Xian." Speaking of this, Concubine Cao Shu was very upset.
Mrs. Cao advised her, "The old saying goes on, people's hearts can be seen over time. What are you anxious about?" The girl is young, but Mrs. Cao knows that Queen Mother Xie is not an easy person to please.
"How can I not be in a hurry, I will go abroad for filial piety in the next year, and once I go abroad for filial piety, His Majesty will definitely be drafted." Concubine Cao Shu said sadly, "The empress dowager is really hard to please."
Madam Cao has some experience with Empress Dowager Xie, because the first time she greeted Empress Dowager Xie, no, she was still Empress Xie at that time. , Cao Shuren quite inquired about Empress Xie's likes and dislikes.Now Mrs. Cao is teaching her daughter, "My son, don't be in a hurry. Let me tell you, the empress dowager is the most important thing to behave. When you are in front of her, don't use such sweet words. You have to be cautious." , so that the Empress Dowager will like you."
Concubine Cao Shu curled her lips, "If that's the case, His Majesty won't like me."
Mrs. Cao said softly, "Why are you so stupid? It's just that you are in front of the Queen Mother. She is getting older every day. Why are you so anxious? You are young, and the little prince is still young."
Concubine Cao Shu sighed, "I just don't accept it, obviously I have paid the most. I cook soup for soup every day, and I haven't seen the Queen Mother give me a smile."
"How can being a daughter-in-law be the same as being a girl at home? What's more, the Empress Dowager is always solemn." Madam Cao lowered her voice and said, "It's not appropriate to say that she is not His Majesty's biological mother, so she has to stick to it." Follow the rules."
Concubine Cao Shu also whispered, "You didn't know about Ling Niangniang back then, she didn't even say a word of affection. Thanks to His Majesty's benevolence, he still respects the Palace of Mercy."
Although the mother and daughter wanted to discuss this, they dare not say more in this palace.
Mrs. Qi Guogong stayed with Empress Dowager Xie for a while and then went to Concubine Qi Xian's palace. Those who went to the Duke's mansion to speak were also very kind to Mrs. Qi Guogong, the uncle and grandmother.
Concubine Qi Xian also has her own distress, her pregnancy time is actually the same as Cao's, even in May, but who knows that Cao's gave birth early in mid-April.Concubine Qi Xian was unlucky enough to give birth to her child on the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone said that a child born on the Dragon Boat Festival was unlucky. Concubine Qi Xian was very depressed for a while when she was born on that day. After taking a big name, Concubine Qi Xian is better now.Looking at it now, maybe it was Empress Dowager Xie who named this child back then, and she loved this child a little more. Of course, Empress Dowager Xie would not show preference, but would ask questions from time to time, which made Concubine Qi Xian happy enough.
It's just that in terms of imperial favor, Concubine Qi Xian felt that it was Concubine Cao Shu who came out on top.
Concubine Qi Xian was embarrassed to talk about these things with her uncle and grandmother, but she was talking about children. Mrs. Qi Guogong was also very happy to see the little prince lively, and said to her, "The days are long. If you are in the palace, if you are free, you can spend more time Talk to the empress dowager. If you can be influenced by the empress dowager, you will never be able to use it in your life."
Concubine Qi Xian responded softly.
Concubine Qi Xian inquired about the family affairs again, and Mrs. Qi Guogong said, "Everything is fine at home, and your father's recent letters all say that things are going well outside. Your grandmother originally wanted to come to the palace to see you, and she heard that the Cao family also came to the palace. Just don’t come here, for fear of getting angry.”
Concubine Qi Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandmother is still the same, why can't she come here, I have my own palace now, just enter the palace with my uncle and aunt."
"I also said the same thing. It's not our family who did the wrong thing." The Qi family and the Cao family were at odds, and there was no enmity before. It was because of the birth of the prince. I don't know how the Cao family happened to be in April Premature birth gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor?What kind of family is the Qi family? I haven't seen what kind of things happen in the Duke's mansion. Because my family is honest, I didn't guard against the trick of the Cao family. Therefore, the eldest son was born in the stomach of the Cao family.If it's a full-term delivery, even if the Cao family is first, the Qi family will be convinced, but if you are half a month ahead of time, the Qi family will suspect that there is something tricky here.Thinking of Concubine Cao Shu overtaking Concubine Qi Xian in terms of the prince, and then concubine Shu in terms of title, Concubine Qi Xian's grandmother was very violent, and since then she has never seen Cao's family, and she will make a bad face when she sees her.
Grandmother Qi didn't care about the bad face of the Cao family, and her family was not afraid of the Cao family. The main reason was that Grandmother Qi knew that she was straightforward, and she was afraid that she would be rude to Empress Dowager Xie, and would make it difficult for her granddaughter, so she simply asked her sister-in-law to come over.
Mrs. Qi Guogong talked with Concubine Qi Xian about the family affairs, and when the time came, she told Concubine Qi Xian to take good care of her body and show respect to the Queen Mother, so she left.
In this new year, there are governors and generals from other places in the previous court to pay their respects. In the harem, the Empress Dowager Xie is still here. The Empress Dowager Xie is familiar with Zhu Gaoming, and some Empress Su is not very familiar. On the side of the Empress Dowager Xie Sitting for a while, she has learned a lot.
The new year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the New Year's Day in Guoxiaozhong is naturally very low-key, but because it is the first new year since Mu Fan took the throne, everyone is very respectful, and everyone who can arrive has arrived.
Although there is no music, singing and dancing, the reunion banquet on the New Year's Eve is still lively.On the day when Long raised his head, Empress Dowager Xie went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to her mother. In the past, the late emperor went with her, but this time it was Mu Fan who accompanied her. The mother and son went to see the mausoleum that the late emperor was building. year will be completed.On February 29, the first emperor's filial piety was over, Mu Fan followed his aunt and took all the vassals and dynasties to pay homage to the first emperor, and then he officially left the country for filial piety.As soon as he left the country, King Qin and other vassal kings requested to leave the vassal. King Su and others quietly asked Mu Fan about the concubine mother. Mu Fan said, "I'll go ask the queen mother."
Su Wang and the others naturally wanted to bring their mothers to live together and enjoy the family relationship, but their mothers were all younger than Queen Mother Xie, and they were not yet fifty.Sure enough, Empress Dowager Xie directly said to several vassal kings and concubines, "The things in this world are not about worrying about the few but the unevenness. I know your hearts, and you are also considerate of some emperors. The rules just established last year , it’s not good for our own family to break up first. When the concubine reaches her age, you will come to ask for an order.”
Empress Dowager Xie has always been dignified, and the few people were silent.
They have just become feudal clans, and they have a lot of affairs. Concubine Xu and Concubine Tai can think about it, and they all said to their children, "The empress dowager's temperament can't be more generous. You have nothing to worry about. We are also used to living in the palace. , just to spend a few more years with the Empress Dowager."
Su Tai Zhaorong didn't say anything else, but told her sons to work as errands in the feudal domain, and they would naturally be able to reunite when they were old.
In the matter of dealing with the feudal king, Mu Fan followed his father's example completely. He left the eldest sons of his elder brother's family to go to school in the imperial capital. He gave his elder brothers a lot of gifts from the feudal lord, and even proposed that some things belonged to the imperial father's internal treasury. , and there are old things of the first emperor, which were given to the brothers for collection.It's just that Mu Fan came to the throne early, and the children of his brothers' family are not very old. It's worrying to live in the palace without their parents.Mu Fan was also lively and said, "It's just living in the palace. The queen mother likes children the most."
The feudal lords did not object to this proposal. Their growth path also benefited from the teaching of the Empress Dowager Xie, and with the guidance of the Empress Dowager Xie, the children would not be worse in the future.Empress Dowager Xie followed the previous model in the palace. All princes and sons had their grandmothers in the palace. On weekdays, except for the children of King Qin and Zhou's family who were twelve or thirteen years old, the palace was allocated for them to live alone. The rest of the princes lived with their grandmothers. There is also Empress Dowager Xie to help check it, so there is no problem anymore.
Therefore, the vassal kings put their eldest sons in the imperial capital to receive royal education.
Mu Fan had to sigh at this time, his father really made a good start back then.
After the vassal king became the vassal, the Ministry of Rites finally discussed Mu Fan's emperor title, and Mu Fan chose Antai as his emperor title. From then on, Mu Fan was the emperor of Antai.
The story of Emperor Antai began with this draft in the first year of Antai.
