MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 84 Relocation

The emperor has recently felt a cold, and has not been to the court for a long time. The same is true today. The civil and military officials arrived at the Taiji Hall, only to know that the court is off today.

Every Monday and Friday, the emperor will be in the Taiji Hall to supervise the government, but now he has been pushed by the saint two times in a row, which is very strange.

"The saint hasn't gone to court for nearly a month, how is your health?"

The courtiers have a lot of discussion, but the emperor does not go to the court, it does not mean that the government will no longer function. The various departments of the imperial city are still busy, and the six volumes receive a lot of memorials from external officials every day.

The sage's Zhu Critic was quickly sent back, and the officials got the imperial decree and were surprised to find that the imperial decree was not the emperor's handwriting, but that of Princess Ganning.

"What is this called, how can a female family intervene in important matters of the court?"

The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the sage said that he has been infected with the cold in the past few days and is inconvenient to write, so Princess Ganning will write it. Not only today, I am afraid it will be a good time in the future. Every day, His Highness Gan Ning waits for the saint to write."

The emperor of the Xuan Dynasty did not shy away from women's participation in politics. It is not uncommon for the empress and concubines to intervene in the affairs of the court. Still the first time. Court officials look at me and I look at you, and they all think this is extremely absurd, but because of the emperor's face, they can't refute it, so they can only endure it.

In the eyes of the courtiers, no matter how smart and clever Princess Ganning is, she is only a woman, and she is domineering in the harem, but the affairs of the previous dynasty were not something that a princess should reach out to. No one in the court agreed with Gan Ning's actions, but the emperor supported it wholeheartedly, and they didn't want to humiliate the emperor.

At that time, everyone thought that this was just the emperor's brainstorm, and the princess was annoyed and couldn't bear it, so they reluctantly agreed. Sooner or later, the political power will be taken back into the hands of the emperor.

Rong Ke guessed right, no one in the court took her seriously, and no one even wanted to support her.

Amid the clamor of all the ministers, a dispatch order was sent to the official department, covered with a red dragon seal.

"The saint has an order to summon Xiao Jingduo from Jiannan Road to return to Beijing to take up his post. He will set off immediately, and there must be no mistake."

In Jinjiang County, the New Year's Day is approaching, and the county government is also full of laughter.

Qiu Ju happily changed Xiao Jingduo's hot tea: "Darang, another year has passed. This year's new population statistics, the number of settled residents in Jinjiang County has reached 5,000! According to this, Will we be able to be promoted to Shang County next year?"

In the past, only the grace of the saints, or the proximity of the emperor's mausoleum, can make the middle and lower counties rise to the upper counties. After all, the geographical location of a county is dead, and there is no reason for it. Where to go to add thousands of households?

However, Jinjiang County, which was not well-known not long ago, has done it. Qiu Ju and Yourong Yan, not only Qiu Ju, but also other people in the county government are also walking in the wind these days, always immersed in the county seat The joy of being promoted to Shangxian.

Xiao Jingduo has sorted out the materials, the next thing to do is to write the documents, and then hand them over to the superior governor.

This is nothing worth mentioning to Xiao Jingduo, so everyone thinks that this promotion is a sure thing.

She just heard Qiu Ju's words when she delivered the needle and thread, and she also smiled: "During my tenure in office, the promotion of Zhongxian County to Shangxian County is a remarkable achievement. I can write it down again. This is a big happy event, so I would like to congratulate Xiao Mingfu in advance.”

Qiu Ju raised her eyebrows with joy, and Xiao Jingduo also smiled faintly: "Miss Chen is very praised."

Qiu Ju murmured in a low voice, "Mr. Dalang is taking a rest today. Who is so ignorant? Lord Lang is busy with official business all day long, and it's hard to get a day off, but he even bothers Lord Lang."

Xiao Jingduo just glanced at it, and Qiu Ju shut up obediently. The kung fu reporter who was speaking had already run in: "County magistrate, Chang'an's order is here!"

Changan's order! Everyone was taken aback, Xiao Jingduo immediately stepped forward, took the letter from the messenger, and quickly opened it.

After reading it, Xiao Jingduo's face was very solemn.

Qiu Ju and others stared at Xiao Jingduo eagerly, and found that Xiao Jingduo's face was wrong, they all became uneasy: "Langjun, what does the court say?"

"The Ministry of Personnel sent me back to Beijing to take up my post."

Qiu Ju's heart was relieved, and a big smile broke out on her face: "This is a good thing, Langjun, you looked so ugly just now, but it scared me!"

Even the statement smiled softly: "Double happiness is coming, congratulations to Xiao Mingfu."

"It just so happens that we are going to apply for Shangxian County, and when Shangxian County's will is approved, we just return to Beijing! This is simply, great!" Qiu Ju was overjoyed.

Obviously received the call to call back, but Xiao Jingduo looked unhappy, he whispered: "It's too late."

"What's too late?"

"Qiu Ju, you bring someone to pack in the inner house, and pack the luggage as quickly as possible. Xiao Lin, go outside and arrange a carriage, and we will leave in three days."

"Ah? You're in such a hurry?" Qiu Ju was puzzled, "Then what about going to the county, didn't you apply?"

"The materials are ready-made, let the new county magistrate write."

During his tenure, Xiao Jingduo upgraded his county from Zhongxian to Shangxian. This can be said to be the most prominent and important achievement during his tenure as county magistrate. However, Xiao Jingduo is so easy to achieve. Sent.

Others heard it in disbelief: "County magistrate, there is always a transition period of one or two months for officials to be transferred, and the new magistrate will not come for a while, so why do you have to leave in such a hurry? Shangxian has received such great merit!"

Xiao Jingduo just shook his head and said, "It's too late."

The saint is critically ill, and only Rong Ke is alone in the court, how can he stay here and wait for the reward? He wants to go back immediately, and he can't wait for a moment.

This year, many people have been unhappy, Chang'an is full of turmoil, and Jinjiang County is also full of sorrow.

The handsome and capable county magistrate Xiao was transferred back to the capital. People in the county knew the result, but they did not expect that this day would come so unexpectedly and without warning.

What is even more sad is that Magistrate Xiao seems to have encountered something urgent, and he can't wait for a day. Before the news of his leaving office spread throughout Jinjiang County, Magistrate Xiao's carriage The wheel is out of town. There were many people standing under the city wall, reluctantly watching Xiao Jingduo go away until he could no longer see him.

Xiao Jingduo gave up the achievement that was at his fingertips and rushed to Chang'an, but even so, he was still one step too late.

After a lapse of four years, when Xiao Jingduo returned to the capital again, the city of Chang'an was covered with snow, and the long bells echoed in the one hundred and eight squares, making the world more and more empty and cold.

The temples all over the world ring the bell in March, which is a sign of the emperor's death.

In four years, Daxuan lost two emperors one after another!

Emperor Rong Mingzhe is now going to be called the first emperor. The first emperor issued an imperial decree before his death, and passed the throne to the prince Rong Lang. The new emperor was young, and the eldest princess Gan Ning was specially appointed as the regent. The eldest princess, supervising state affairs on her behalf. After the new emperor came of age, he returned to the emperor.

Jieji Changan caused an uproar because of this imperial decree.

Lord, not even the queen mother!

Princess regent, this is unprecedented and unprecedented. For a time, everyone was blown up, and even the prime ministers who watched Rong Ke grow up persuaded the late emperor with a heavy face to think twice.

Rong Mingzhe was already very weak at that time, even so, his demeanor was not damaged at all, but he was more calm and wise because of his thinness. Rong Mingzhe was very clear that he would not give in even to the courtiers of the Mandian Palace, and insisted on handing over the power of the general kingdom to his eldest daughter, a little girl who was only sixteen years old.

Rong Ke officially took over the political power in the discussion of the Manchu Dynasty. From then on, the whole world will know that the red letter on the memorial is not the princess's oral decree relayed by the saint, it is really her idea.

In the first month, Rong Mingzhe officially pushed Rong Ke out, wanting to protect Rong Ke in the last days, so that she could really get started. With Rong Mingzhe under pressure, these old ministers and princes will restrain themselves. It is a pity that even the last wish of Rong Mingzhe was not satisfied by God. After a few days, Rong Mingzhe passed away regretfully.

In the fourth year of Jianyuan, the emperor collapsed. This year, Princess Ganning was sixteen years old, and Chengzong Ronglang was eight years old.

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day. Even though Rong Mingzhe just passed away, Rong Lang was still wearing his father's filial piety.

The palace road from the Taiji Gate to the Taiji Hall is extremely long, and the steps overlap so much that there is almost no end in sight. The young Rong Lang had just passed away his father, and before he could react, he was urged by a group of people to change into the heavy imperial robes, and forcibly pushed him to the front of the Taiji Gate to accept the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials in the cold wind of Shuosuo.

Rong Lang looked at the stone steps with almost no end in front of him, his voice was already crying, he quietly tugged at his sister's sleeve: "Sister, I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, Ah Lang." His eldest sister also took off her filial attire and put on a solemn black tiara. She stared at the Taiji Temple in front of her with her eyes still, and reached out her hand to Rong Lang steadily: "Give it to me."

Rong Lang just passed his seventh birthday, he has been guarded in the middle palace, and he has not even seen many foreigners except his relatives. He was undoubtedly terrified of being stared at by so many people at the moment, but when his sister stretched out her hand in front of him, even though her face was expressionless, she couldn't even hear much emotion in her voice, but Rong Lang was somehow relieved.

He put his hand in Rong Ke's hand, and was led by the elder sister, and walked step by step to the highest palace in the empire.

Seeing the new emperor ascending to the highest point, the ministers outside the Taiji Hall were in a complicated mood, but they still leaned down neatly. For a time, only Wuyangyang's ministers could be seen saluting.

"Long live my emperor, Qianqiu Princess Qianning."

After the enthronement ceremony, the little emperor Rong Lang, who was called Chengzong by later generations, officially entered the field of history books, and another very special princess also became famous.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Rong Mingzhe, who was praised by history books as a model of princes of all dynasties, passed away regretfully. At the same time, this also heralded the beginning of the Qianning era.

Xiao Jingduo returned to Chang'an with a few followers, and what he saw was such a depressed appearance.

There is never a shortage of new things in Chang'an. Even the cold winter can't detract from the hustle and bustle of Chang'an.

What's more, even if the people don't know the undercurrents in the court, they will not know about the princess regent. The former emperor did not establish a regent, nor did the queen mother sit behind the curtain, but instead let Princess Gan Ning assist the government. Even ordinary people could smell something wrong. The country is in a state of change, and the people do not dare to mess with it. During this period of time, even the door is less, let alone other.

Even Qiu Ju, who did not understand politics, felt that something was wrong, and shouted nervously: "Darang, what's the matter?"

The Chang'an in her impression is not like this!

Chen Ci supported the tablet of the county magistrate, and went to Beijing with Xiao Jingduo to join her aunt. It was the first time for Chen Ci to come to Chang'an. When she saw the scene on the street, she felt that something was wrong. Now, when she heard Qiu Ju's words, Chen Ci became more and more uneasy: "What's wrong, but what happened?"

Female family members all feel it, let alone Xiao Jingduo. Xiao Jingduo looked at the quiet and chilling Chang'an, as if he could already see the undercurrents surging in the courtroom, swords, lights, swords and shadows. Xiao Jingduo felt heartache. Rong Ke had just lost his father, and the pain of bereavement had not yet subsided. He was about to face such an unfriendly start, and he didn't even have time to breathe. Is she very uncomfortable now?

The pestle on the street is not a good choice after all. After a while, Qiu Ju has noticed that several groups of people are paying attention to them, and there are even people from the patrol team. Qiu Ju secretly tugged at Xiao Jingduo's sleeve and reminded: "Dalang-Jun, it's not good for us to stay here forever, why don't we go back to the Hou's mansion first?"

, just waiting for Xiao Jingduo to speak.

Chen Ci looked at the servant who came to greet him curiously. It turned out that this is the style of the Hou's mansion in the capital.

Be careful and don't be careless."

The old lady is still waiting in the Hou Mansion!"

When they said these words, Xiao Jingduo had already turned on his horse and galloped forward with a flick of the reins. The people of Hou Mansion ate a mouthful of Fuchen and felt unlucky in their hearts.

Having arrived in the capital, Chen Zi has to part ways with Qiu Ju and others. The female relatives reluctantly said goodbye, and then they each boarded the carriage, escorted by the servants and walked in both directions.

It wasn't until she could no longer see that Chen Zi put down the hand that lifted the curtain and sighed faintly.

In the past four years in Jinjiang County, Xiao Jingduo, who was seen in the statement, was always calm and confident, and he had never seen him show no mercy to others. Even if Xiao Jingduo has a bad relationship with his family, with Xiao Jingduo's character, he will not show his face to his servants.

Then why is he impatient to listen to a complete sentence today, so why did he leave in such a hurry? Could it be that you are really in such a hurry to go to the Ministry of Personnel to report your duties?

…

Xiao Jingduo was so anxious that he couldn't wait for almost a moment, and he didn't even bother to listen to the servants of the Hou Mansion to finish. Anyway, after all they said, they always persuaded him to go back to the Hou Mansion to meet his grandmother and father, but how could these people have the time to do what he was going to do now?

Xiao Jingduo rushed to Miyagi with the fastest speed, and then handed in the post.

His official rank is too low now, and he has not yet reached the level of being able to face the Holy Spirit at will. Although Rong Ke was only a princess, she was in charge of the government and was no different from a real emperor. It was difficult for Xiao Jingduo to meet Rong Ke without sending a message in advance.

Looking around, there are white flags everywhere in the Taiji Palace. Against the background of dead branches and snow, the towering palace is even more chilling. Xiao Jingduo was taken to the Liangyi Hall, and as soon as he entered, he saw Rong Ke, who was filial piety.

He suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart for no reason, and almost blurted out: "His Royal Highness!"
