Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 68 Dilemma
On the first night of staying in the palace, the inner court arranged for many people to come, and specially arranged for two servants to be close to him, but Song Yuan refused, because she didn't like people to be close to her, and all the empresses in the palace gave some small gifts. Gifts come, and there are also snacks for late night snacks.

According to the meaning of the servant who delivered the things, there have been no young children in the palace for a long time, and the ladies are separated from their children and grandchildren. Now that she enters the palace, she can't help but love her more.

Song Yuan didn't know how to refuse this reason, even though he knew they were acting, he still had to cooperate.

Busy until Haishi, no one came at last, Song Yuan hurried to sleep, she was so tired, she had a headache when she thought that she would be driving in front of Emperor Taikang tomorrow, and she didn't know what tricks were waiting to make things difficult for her tomorrow.

After falling into a deep sleep, at Yinshi, Wei Yan came to ask her to get up on time, after washing, Song Yuan hurriedly went to pay her respects to the imperial concubine, there was an early court today, and it would be fine to go to Emperor Taikang after the court.

She came so early that the palace servants of Mingzhang Palace were surprised when they saw her, and told the imperial concubine who was still dressing, and then invited her in.

Through the bead curtain, Song Yuan bowed his head and bowed: "Grandson sees the imperial concubine."

"You child, come so early, don't sleep for a while, get up quickly." Concubine Xi sat slightly sideways in front of the dressing table, and the maid was combing her hair. Now Emperor Taikang doesn't need to invite anyone to sleep , These concubines did not leave behind to freshen up.

Song Yuan straightened up, took a look inside and then quickly lowered his eyes: "Grandson still needs to study later, I'm afraid I'll break the rules if I invite you late, so I came earlier."

"Oh, yes, you still have to study, I have forgotten about this." Guifei Xi smiled: "Did you sleep well last night? Can the servants feel relieved to use it?"

"It's all good. The ladies love their grandson very much. They sent a lot of gifts and supper. The grandson planned to thank them one by one, but he didn't dare to disturb the rules of the harem, for fear that he would be rude."

Concubine Xi laughed: "The youngest concubine in the palace is a few years older than your mother. You don't have to be so scruples about a child, but you are so polite and sensible. It seems that your mother taught you very well." good."

Song Yuan didn't answer, and Concubine Xi continued: "After lunch, do you want to accompany the emperor to eat?"

"This grandson is still unclear."

"If you don't have to dine with the emperor, come over and dine with me." Concubine Xi said politely, "I like you very much."

Song Yuan agreed, and saw that she had nothing else to say, so he resigned and left, and hurried back to Feiyun Palace after coming out.

Mr. Zhu Ci has already been waiting for her. A young man in his early thirties, with delicate features and a fair face, looks like he has a soft and good temper. He is sitting by the charcoal basin, holding a book in one hand and warming the fire with the other slightly outstretched. The candle in the room has already burned a small half, so it can be seen that it has been waiting for a while.

"Sir." Song Yuan dared to sit down only after seeing the ceremony.

The husband who taught her, Zhu Ci, is the grandson of Zhu Chongen, a famous official of the great Wei Dynasty. He was young and soft-tempered only when he became Mr. Song Yuan. King Zhongshan of the family ran into her and beat her hard. Zhu Ci came to plead for mercy, had a good chat with Song Yuan, and then disciplined her.

He has been a teacher and student for ten years, and Song Yuan respects him very much.

"There are a lot of nobles in the palace, please An to come back so soon?" Zhu Ci put down the book: "I received kindness last night, today I should explain Xie En's words clearly."

Song Yuan nodded: "It's already been said, I don't know the ladies in the harem, and they all have their own children and grandchildren. I went to pay a visit rashly, but I lost my manners, so I thanked you in front of the imperial concubine."

"Alright."

"Today, the emperor should summon you." Song Yuan raised a smile: "Your teacher has taught me for many years, and I finally lived up to your trust and did not embarrass you."

Zhu Ci was neither surprised nor happy, and his expression was very flat: "After entering the palace to accompany you, you will no longer be able to study with peace of mind like before. These right and wrong will definitely involve you. What are your plans?"

"Naturally, I am going forward. Now I say that I just want to be a magistrate. I am afraid that others will not believe it. Even if I believe it, I am not happy." Song Yuan did not hide it from him, and continued after a pause. : "I used to think that my elder brothers were far beyond my reach in terms of literary and martial arts, but after getting along with each other for several months, I realized that they are not as good as me."

Zhu Ci nodded slightly: "My lord needs you young masters to join the army and politics to consolidate their power. I arranged for them to go out when they were sixteen or seventeen years old. With the help of cronies, everything will go well. For them, the biggest trouble should be how to get along with the two. The first sons are competing, as for ability, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom."

Speaking of his two direct brothers, Song Yuan was silent for a moment: "Brother is trying to win me over now, do you think I will accept it or not?"

"The son is the oldest, with great military exploits. He has been with the prince since he was a child. All the confidants and loyal parties of the prince respect the prince. This is something that no other son can compare. I think the son has already known it in his heart, but I don't know how to accept it, do I?"

He hit the mark, and Song Yuan nodded: "With the eldest brother here, the rest of us can use but not reuse, and can be outstanding, but not too outstanding. What I worry about now is my situation in the palace. Whether it is Whether I deal with it properly or deal with it wrongly, the consequences are not something I can bear, and it seems that entering the palace as a companion is a blessing, but in fact it is a dilemma."

"The lord and the prince have been fighting for many years. You come and go, but you don't get much benefit. The two sides just put their children and cronies in important positions in order to have more people to speak for themselves in the court. , but this move has no effect on the emperor, seizing the heirloom is not only more popular, but also depends on ability.

Nowadays, the sons of the East Palace have dabbled in both civil and military affairs, and have made certain political achievements, but most of the sons of the palace are military generals, with high prestige in the army, but governing the world is not about leading troops to fight, the prince does not like the emperor , but has sat firmly on the throne for more than ten years, which has a lot to do with his sons who have made political achievements in the local area.

To be disrespectful, the prince and the prince are both old. Even if they ascend the throne, they will not be able to make too many political achievements. The real thing to compare is the ability of the son. Concubine, he deliberately suppressed and indulged the concubine, and wanted all the sons to respect him, which seemed to stabilize the position of the son, but it was too risky. Moreover, the two sons of the concubine were both devoted to the army, and there was no praiseworthy achievement in their political achievements. place.

On the other hand, East Palace, because the ability of the son Guangming is mediocre, so he pays great attention to the cultivation of the sons. The competition among the sons is fierce. Even in the local area, they have made many commendable achievements. This is the gap between the two families. Capable, the concubine knows that there is no hope for the title, so apart from running on the concubine, he doesn't do much to achieve political achievements. On the contrary, the concubine does not reuse it, and the concubines are all ambitious, and they think they can fight for it. "
