The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 5: The Controversy between the Crown Prince
Gengwu March in the nineteenth year of Xiande, Zhao Shengxuan, the posthumous king of Chu Ling, Prince Zhao Jialing succeeded to the throne, ordered to continue to use the Xiande reign, and the Princess of Emperor Changle was established. There are countless horses and gold silks.
The Central Palace is established, the ruling and the opposition, thinking about the crown prince, admonishing the doctor Luo Wensu, and arranging the third son of the king Zhao Long as the crown prince.
First, the ruler appointed Princess Changle as the princess, but the princess did not appear, but the dowry maid was sent to serve the prince. Her Royal Highness Iyong is glamorous and very lucky. She has three sons and four daughters. The daughter of the prime minister, Shang Weijun, was the prince's side concubine. In 14th month, she was born in Long, Jiadeng throne, and named Shang's concubine. The Shang clan was born in a famous family, virtuous and less jealous. The ruling and the opposition took the old rule of "children are expensive for the mother", please establish his son.
The queen of heard it and said furiously: "Although the Ai family has no children, I don’t know that there will be none afterwards. Even if there is no future, the Ai family used to dowry the court ladies, who are all the daughters of the famous family, and have given birth to two sons. If it’s noble and inferior, wouldn’t it be as good as the Shang clan. If you want to establish a prince’s eldest son.
--"The Southern Dynasties Chu History·The Biography of Chuyang King"
In the nineteenth year of showing virtue, the country lord died. If an ordinary person died, he would die, but the death of a country lord is a major event. Before the lord Yan drives, our Hanlin Garden will basically complete the Chongwendian bibliography " "Chongwen Secret Collection" was handed up, and the lord was overjoyed. Although he did not see the completion of the Chongwen Temple, he should be considered a scorn.
There is no controversy in the slightest. Prince Zhao Jia came to the throne before the spirit, and then things like changing the yuan and amnesty for the world. Our Imperial Academy is also very busy, and there are some very important things, although we small officials There is not much room for interruption, but I am also very concerned about the matter of Lihou and Lichu. Immediately after, there was no objection. Although Princess Changle lived in the palace all year round to recuperate and was not conscientious, Nanchu was surrendered to Da Yong in name, and Princess Changle was the crown prince established by the first king, so Princess Changle still went well. Take the palm of the palace. But Li Chu was in trouble. Princess Changle did not have children. Although she was only 19 years old, she was always ill. Everyone doubted whether she would still conceive and have children. Moreover, there is no prince in the country, so it is bound to be restless, so the ministers all hope to stand first. A prince, Zhao Jia already has four sons and seven daughters. Because Princess Changle sent court ladies to serve the prince, most of the children were born to the prince. However, this caused dissatisfaction with the dignitaries. The prime minister's daughter, Shang Zhilan, said that she would marry the prince as a side concubine. Although the prince doted on the prince, the concubine was very upbeat and gave birth to the third son, Zhao Long. In the eyes of the court minister, if it was Princess Changle, it would be noble, but the children of the other yong girls seemed to them to be of unpure blood, so everyone asked Zhao Long to be the crown prince.
Although the country lord is greedy and lustful, he is also a wise man. Naturally, he knew that the ministers were right on this point. So although he didn’t like Shang Shi very much, he still named her a noble concubine and made Zhao Long the crown prince. He also agrees. However, Princess Changle was furious and had a big quarrel with the lord and returned to the palace alone. The lord of the lord was exhausted. Although he and the princess of Changle were separated and separated, the princess of Changle was very virtuous and not only allowed himself to marry him. The beautiful women of Yongguo serve him, and they often support themselves in selecting beautiful women to enrich the harem, so he respects Princess Changle very much and even a little fear. Moreover, the reason that the Shang clan was the noble daughter of the South Chu was tacitly understood by the emperor and his ministers, so Zhao Jia temporarily stopped establishing the prince, and hinted that the court would not be able to establish the prince unless he convinced the queen.
But this makes it difficult for these courtiers to die. Princess Changle has often lived in the palace since she married Nanchu. Those courtiers and wives of Nanchu could not find their way even if they wanted to court. The court ladies who were close to the princesses basically They are all the patrons of the country's lord. Their sons are not qualified to establish a reserve. Their resentment is too late. How can they persuade the princess? Gradually, everyone's eyes are on one person-Liang Wan.
Liang Wan is both the best friend of Princess Changle and the righteous daughter of the first king. Although she didn’t choose her son-in-law in Southern Chu, she had a very close friendship with Nanchu Wenwu Junjie. She was the best lobbyist, but she was Refused. Therefore, Mingyue Tower, which had gradually calmed down for many days, became a busy place again.
I came to Mingyue Tower again under this situation. Originally, I didn’t want to come, but Liang Wan suddenly asked me in a post. Although I had no intention of her, it is inevitable to have a fantasy, not to mention her. It would be a bit rude if I refused to post.
I walked into the courtyard gate Shi Shiran and bypassed the blue waves. Now the front of Mingyue Tower is full of pear blossoms. Now April is the flowering period of pear blossoms. The pear blossoms in the garden are like clouds and snow, deep Taking a breath of refreshing fragrance, I asked the maid who led the way: "Girl, may I ask Miss Liang, what is your order?" The maid said playfully: "Then I have to ask the lady, how can I be a little girl? I know, adults are so respectful, and servants dare not be ashamed." I solemnly said: "As the saying goes, the prime minister’s family is the seventh-rank official, and Miss Liang is the prince’s righteous daughter and a good friend of the queen. I am afraid that the power will prevail over the prime minister. There’s also a sixth-rank, so the next official is from the seventh-rank, so naturally you must be respectful.” The maid was stunned, she laughed, and whispered: “The servant-servant heard that my lady told the Prime Minister, if you want to persuade The queen, an adult must come forward."
This time it's my turn to be stunned. When will I be a small Hanlin editor who can tell the majestic Princess Dayong, the Queen of Nanchu. He walked into the Mingyue Tower half-believingly, and at a glance saw the Prime Minister and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy sitting on the head, with Liang Wan accompanying. I almost wanted to turn around and ran. But knowing that it is impossible, so he respectfully said: "The next official pays homage to the prime minister, the master in charge."
Prime Minister Shang Weijun nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, I heard Master Xie say that you are very capable and will be promoted soon. As expected, you are the pillar of the country, Ms. Liang, the people have already come. The lady said last time that only Jiang Hanlin can do it. What is the reason for persuading the queen?"
I immediately looked at Liang Wan. She and I had no enemies in the past, but recently I have no complaint about why she framed me like this. Liang Wan took a sip of fragrant tea under the gaze of the three of us, and then she said, "To be honest, the concubine was originally from Da Yong, and the adults agreed to make Wang Zilong as the crown prince, and the deep meaning is that of passers-by. I also know that the queen would not understand that now, when leaving the palace with anger, it is the most annoying time. The concubine is greatly favored by the princess, and the princess regards her as a sister. If she persuades her to obey the lord and all the adults, why not let her The princess was chilled. At that time, even if the princess had room for change, she couldn’t agree. So Liang Wan couldn’t persuade him. But the concubine was so grateful that she was favored by the king. How could she bear to see him toss and turn, so she did her best I have to change from the middle, think twice, think of the princess from Nanchu to Nanchu, Ya loves poetry, every day she does not release the scroll, and once said to her concubine, the famous masters of the past have all returned to the loess and cannot be seen, but today everyone only has the South Chu champion Jiang Zhe, reading his poems is heart-warming, and he is also in Southern Chu. He sees him every time he thinks about him, but he is afraid of the separation of the monarch and his ministers, and the difference between men and women. Although he can't see each other at close distances, it is a pity in his life. To be able to meet the queen to fulfill the queen’s long-cherished wish, and then plant the champion to tactfully speak, the queen must be moved."
I almost fainted. Am I very like an idiot? I am a little champion. I am afraid that I am just a jester in the eyes of the queen. Why should I influence the queen and look at the prime minister earnestly, hope He can stop such unrealistic ideas. But my dream was shattered, and the old man Shang Weijun was thoughtful, and the master in charge nodded repeatedly. In this way, I was escorted into the carriage by Liang Wan and drove to the palace without a chance to object.
On the way, I asked seriously: "Miss Liang, has the officer ever offended you?"
Liang Wan smiled and shook her head: "No."
I said again: "Then the official has offended Da Yong?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Liang Wan's eyes: "No."
I suddenly angrily said: "In this case, I am neither your murderer of your father, nor your lover, what do you want to kill me."
Liang Wan was surprised, and then smiled like a flower and said: "The champion is angry."
I have recovered my peace, and said coldly: "I'm not good at doing things, I'm afraid it will hurt Miss Liang." Hmph, I will pull you back even if I die, I thought viciously.
Liang Wan's eyebrows flowed, Yan Ran said: "The number one scholar has misunderstood his concubine body, and the concubine body is a method of stability."
I’m not talking to her because I feel that arguing about something that has become a foregone conclusion is meaningless. The anger just now is just imitating the mentality of ordinary people. Anyway, even if I can’t achieve the task, I can’t say that I have lost my duty. At most, the promotion is slower. When Liang Wan saw that I didn’t speak, she showed some respect. This made me wary. Although I have not seen her in the past few years, I know a little about her. Judging from her behavior, it is actually a big deal. The possibility of Yong's spy is very high. Otherwise, why didn't I find Ruyi Langjun in three years? I think she is good at dancing with long sleeves, and she is like a fish in the water in the Southern Chu Dynasty. I never believe that she is an ordinary woman. To put it bluntly, although I only went to Yanyue Tower once in Jiaxing because of being fooled, the oikui Yunyan, who is headed by Yanyuelou, is a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a fairy and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Look at Liang Wan's behavior, that is, she is a high-level prostitute and actress. The probably difference is that her contacts are all high-ranking officials and talents, the backstage is hard, and she didn't sell herself.
Liang Wan didn't know that I was slandering her, and there was still nothing to say with me. About two hours later, the carriage finally came to the Mochou Lake Palace. After the guards' interrogation, I successfully entered the Palace and came to Linboxuan facing Mochou Lake. Liang Wan did not Ask people to report, pull me in and walk in. The court ladies on both sides probably know that Liang Wan is not easy to provoke, except for hurried in to report, just let us in.
As soon as I walked into the room, I saw Princess Changle wearing a plain palace dress, leaning on the brocade and reading a book. She smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er is here." I saw me at a glance. , Immediately said with embarrassment: "Who is so bold and daring to break into the mourning house." Liang Wan let go of me and stepped forward: "Princess, look at the concubine who brought the person you most want to see, why are you still angry? ?"
Princess Changle was taken aback, thinking of someone in her heart, and exclaimed, "Is it Jiang Zhejiang Suiyun?"
Liang Wan turned around and said: "Jiang Zhe, don't come to see the princess yet."
I was stunned as soon as I walked in. When I saw Princess Changle, she was at the time of her wedding. She was wearing Princess Dayong's costume and a red wedding gown. So although she was only sixteen years old, she still It is graceful and luxurious. Today she is wearing plain clothes, without any makeup or powder, but she is delicate and elegant, very charming, quite different from the time of the wedding, not to mention that she has been quite weathered in the past two years. There was a kind of mature charm, and my heartbeat became stronger and stronger. Somehow, I suddenly gave birth to a trace of evil thoughts. It would be great if I could hug her.
Just as I was thinking about it, Liang Wan's words reminded me that she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Chen Hanlin Academy editor Jiang Zhe sees Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Princess Changle suddenly showed a look of mixed sadness and joy, and only after a long time she said: "Master Jiang is flat, the Ai family usually likes Master Jiang's poems. See you today, I want to ask for some help, I don't know if I can."
I calmly said: "Dare not follow your life."
Princess Changle seemed to see that I was a little cold, so she glanced at me faintly, and said: "This is a poem copied by the Ai family, Master Jiang can know which one the Ai family likes the most." Said Jiang Jiang's booklet. Pass it to Liang Wan. With a slight blessing, Liang Wan gave me the booklet again.
I took it and took a look. It turned out to be a handwritten poem, with a line of hairpins and small characters very beautiful. When I turned to the first page, it was a song "Jinse".
"Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one column thinks about Huanian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and Wang Emperor springs his heart to the cuckoo. The moon in the sea has tears, and the blue field is warm and jade is smoke. This love can be a remembrance, but At that time, I was confused." I whispered the poem I wrote when my father died when I was fifteen years old. At that time, my father was dying. He whispered, sometimes chuckled, and more often faintly at the portrait of his mother. My sorrow is indeed faint, because my father is going to see his mother, and there is even a hint of joy in that sorrow. It is for this reason that I did not force my father to take those bitter medicines. Since my father’s life cannot be saved, I Why let him suffer with endless pain? I remember that night I knelt before my father's bed and promised to take care of myself. My father looked at me with relief, and then he lost his breath. His expression was so peaceful. Involuntarily, my tears fell, and today I know how much pain my father's death has brought me.
Princess Changle saw me crying, she was a little uneasy, and looked up at Liang Wan. Liang Wan understood and handed me a silk handkerchief.
I wiped away my tears and smiled and said: "The queen laughed. This poem was written by the minister when the father died. The father had a great love with the mother before his death. After the death of the mother, the father was always sad. When he was dying, his father was in a very calm mood, just because he was about to meet his mother. So the minister wrote this poem, but he did not expect the princess to have it here."
Princess Changle said softly: "During Ai’s family and Jiu, someone from Nanchu brought this poem to Ai’s family, but at the time, Ai’s family didn’t know who Jiang Zhe was. Later, in Nanchu, I heard The No. 1 Scholar’s "Sentiment under the Moon", I felt like it very much. When I asked my Highness, I realized that it was Jiang Zhuangyuan’s masterpiece. From then on, the Aijia asked sister Wan'er to collect the poetry of the No. 1 scholar for me. In the past few years, the Aijia has lived in a deep palace. It’s only when you read the words of the champion to relieve your sorrow."
I prayed next: "It is an honor for the minister to be appreciated by the queen for his poems."
Changle saw that I was calm, so he asked: "This Jinse, I love this song very much, but I don’t understand what is “Lantian Sunwarm Jade and Smoke”? Could it be that Lantian Meiyu, under the sun, really Will there be light smoke?"
I replied with a smile: "This poem has its source. In the past, Si Kongtu of the Jin Dynasty once said, "Zai Shulun is the scenery of poets. It is like the warmth of the blue field and the smoke of good jade, which can not be placed on the eyebrows. The former is also'."
Princess Changle suddenly said: "So, I understand. I wonder if there are any new poems for the champion recently."
I thought for a while, and said: "The minister is busy with official duties these days, and there are very few good works in poetry. If the queen doesn't dislike it, please record a game work."
Princess Changle was overjoyed, and immediately summoned the maid to grind ink. I used the four treasures of the study on the desk next to me to write the poem "Moving the Liuzhuang to Listen to the Orioles in Spring", and then wrote: "Spring is still in the sky, rain and smoke, countless strips Landing and dragging. For several days, the green shade adds tenderness, and for a while, the yellow bird takes over Qiao Ke. Flies like Qingyun Road, and hears the red snow song. Before the wind, the green curtain is opened, and the branches cross the golden shuttle. From the morning to the evening. How clever is the sound, there are many shadows from the north to the south. A few strands vaguely fascinate Hanyuan, and a sound like to remember Qin'e. But Rong Yunyi listens to each other, and he is not allowed to walk by. The tongue is as smooth as pearls, soft as a thread The eyebrows are nested. The dense light is fast and the eyes are real, and the young language disappears if you die. Gu Ying's doubts are intermittent, and he still recognizes the shadows. How can the relatives pay today, and the former golden 笸箩."
Princess Changle came forward and read it in a low voice. It took a long time to say: "The talents of Southern Chu are really extraordinary, and I read it from the mourning family, and they speak well."
Seeing that Princess Changle seemed to be a little tired, I said goodbye: "The lady has a bad body, and the minister does not dare to stay for a long time. Let me leave, please cherish it."
Princess Changle smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, Liang Wan, to send Lord Jiang on behalf of Ai's family."
Liang Wan came over, led me out, and walked a long way out, Liang Wan suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Master Jiang, did you forget something?"
I was taken aback, and then I remembered that I and Ben had forgotten to persuade my mother to establish a reserve, but I changed my mind and said lightly: "Why Ms. Liang said this? It shouldn't matter whether I persuade or not." /
Liang Wan said angrily: "Why, do you ministers of Southern Chu think our princess is easy to bully?"
I saw through the surprise in Liang Wan’s eyes, but didn’t conceal the truth: "Miss Liang should be very clear that the time when the crown is established is a foregone conclusion, and the queen should also understand in her heart, but if she agrees gently, it will inevitably undermine Da Yong’s reputation. That's it."
Liang Wan said with a deep expression: "What nonsense are you talking about."
I thought to myself, instead of letting her think that I am stupid and can use it, it's better to let her understand how good I am, and stay away so that she won't hurt me again. Therefore, I said in an ethereal tone: "It was unwilling for Princess Dayong to marry Nanchu far away, so the queen didn’t expect the lord’s love at all. Emperor Yong married so many beauties, not just to confuse the lord. , Lest the queen have to deal with her husband-in-law who she doesn’t like? As for Miss Liang, you, long-sleeved good dance, is a good candidate to lead Dayong’s spy in Nanchu. The lady’s identity is subtle and she can do whatever she wants without scruples. The princess is in charge of this matter. It is inevitable that some people will notice that the princess’s behavior is suspicious. I think for Dayong, the princess only needs to marry to Nanchu to do her duty."
Liang Wan tried her best to calm down, but her face was pale, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
I hurriedly said: "The subordinate official is just a small Hanlin. These major events in the country cannot be dealt with or bothered. It is really unwise for the young lady to bother to involve the subordinate official, if the official has no reason What an accident, it is inevitable that people will doubt Miss's intentions."
Liang Wan was taken aback for a moment, her expression returned to normal for a moment, and Yan Ran said: "The queen likes the poems of adults. From now on, the concubine will send people to the adults to pick up the new works of the adults, and the adults will certainly agree. ."
I said frankly: "Xiaguan’s family is poor, and she doesn’t have a mansion of her own. She just rented a private house near the Imperial Academy. If the lady sends someone, she often cannot find the official. If the lady doesn’t dislike , The next official will definitely send new poems to Mingyue Tower regularly, please pass on to the Queen’s Chitose."
Liang Wan glanced at me appreciatively and said: "Well, the concubine has to go back to persuade the queen, the carriage is ready, they will send the adults to the prime minister's house to report the errand."
I thank you respectfully, then get in the car and leave.
Late at night, I finally returned to the city and had a safe journey. I arrived at the prime minister’s mansion. To the worried Shang Weijun, I "tell the truth" and said: "The official visit to the queen, the empress really liked the poems of the official. After asking a lot about this matter, the officer was clumsy and didn't know how to advise. Later, the empress was tired and she had to retire. Later, Miss Liang told the officer that she knew that the officer couldn't say it, so she let the officer go. The purpose is just to relieve the empress’ depression. The empress understands the righteousness. She has long understood that the legislative reserve needs to do so. She is just annoyed for a while and can hardly change her mouth. Ms. Liang takes advantage of the empress to persuade her, and she will definitely change her mind, but Ms. Liang said, You have to go and pick up the mother in person, so that she can step down."
Shang Weijun said with joy: "Okay~IndoMTL.com~Okay, Jiang Hanlin is indeed a talented person. I have discussed with you Xie Shishi. You have contributed to the establishment of the Chongwen Palace, and there will be a reward in the near future. Now, go back and rest."
went home tired, saw a lamp like a bean, and knew Xiao Shunzi was coming, walked in lazily, fell on the bed, and asked: "How come you are free today, I remember you had to have two Genius is fake."
Xiao Shunzi came over with a chuckle, pulled me up, and helped me undress and said: "I was on duty today, but I overheard Prime Minister Shang telling the Lord that you were going to the palace, so I changed shifts with others, and the trip back and forth was really tiring. I saw you came out again when you arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion. I thought there was no danger, so I came back to get you some water for a shower. When you finish washing, supper should be ready. "
My eyes were half-opened and half-closed by him to the kitchen. There was already a tub filled with 70% water, and there was a midnight snack on the stove. I asked in a low voice: "You didn't go to the palace with me?" Xiao Shunzi helped me into the tub, and said lightly: "My skill is not enough, the palace and the prime minister's mansion are very strict guards."
I yawned and said: "There is a sword book under my pillow. I don't know if it works. Go and take a look."
Xiao Shunzi said lightly: "I've seen it. The swordsmanship is good, but it doesn't work for me. It needs masculine inner energy, but my inner energy is the most feminine."
I almost fell asleep, and said in a daze: "I know, I will look for it again. The higher your martial arts, the safer I am."
Xiao Shunzi replied something, I didn't catch it.
After half a month, the queen returned to the palace, and the lord held a ceremony for the establishment of a reserve. All officials were rewarded. I passed the level of compilation and became the attendant directly.
