Ajiu

Chapter 199 Invincible

Xiao Zhengzheng was always by his brother's side, watching him pass the threshold, seeing him stumbling into his father's arms, he felt relieved.He walked up to the emperor with dignified steps, and sighed like a grown-up, "My brother is too much to worry about." This made the emperor very happy.

Xiao Zhengzheng, you really look like an older brother.

Children in the palace have always been delicate and delicate, such things as bumping into each other are not allowed.Fu Mu, the palace man in charge of taking care of the prince and daughter, will be extra cautious and cautious, not daring to let the prince and daughter run around.Xiao Zhengzheng and Xiao Pingping were different, Ajiu allowed them to walk and run freely, and if they accidentally fell down, she would squat down and encourage them, "Son, you are the bravest, right? Come on, stand up yourself! "Xiao Pingping just learned to walk, and he often fell down. Whenever he was lying on the ground with his mouth flattened and wanted to cry, Ajiu encouraged him, and he became energetic. He got up, smiled brightly, stumbled and continued to move forward. .Xiaozheng was worried just looking at his crooked steps, always following him and watching him, he was a very conscientious elder brother.

"My younger brother always does this when he sees his father." Xiaozheng was looking at the endless younger brother who was hugging his father, a little depressed.

"You can do the same." The emperor said with a smile on Mimi.

"I don't want it." Xiao Zhengzheng clearly objected, "I'm a man, men don't do things like this."

Brother, are you a man, okay, you show your feelings so much, and you also show your saliva and feelings together, so you are not ashamed.

After listening to Xiao Zhengzheng's words, the emperor smiled heartily.Good grandson, you are a little boy, and it will take another ten years to become a man.

The Crown Prince kissed Xiao Pingping for a long while, before he remembered his old and jealous father, His Majesty, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Pingping over, "My dear son, come, kiss grandfather." The emperor sternly said, "It's your turn." Did you miss me? It's not rare, don't!" The emperor really wanted to put on airs, but Xiao Pingping grinned at him with a small mouth with few teeth, and the saliva flowed out again. The appearance melted the emperor's heart.

So he didn't care about anything else, took Xiao Pingping from Xiao Shi's hand, and happily teased him to play.

"Brother's move is really invincible." Xiao Zhengzheng expressed his feelings.

"Son, you are invincible!" The crown prince praised with joy.

Xiaozheng gave him a serious look, and then looked at his younger brother sullenly.

This trick of my brother is really good.Usually he followed his mother, and as soon as his father came back, his eyes lit up and he threw himself into his arms without hesitation.If the mother was angry, he would grin his mouth and laugh until his saliva flowed, and until his mother softened.

The invincible smirk, the invincible saliva.

The emperor played with Xiao Pingping for a while, and after getting his face covered in Xiao Pingping's saliva, he called the crown prince contentedly, "Xiao Shi, for children like Xiao Zhengzheng and Xiao Pingping, if they have three or four more births, they will be considered complete. "The crown prince was a little worried, "Do you need three or four more? Dad, will it be possible to have one more, and will it be possible to have two more..." He wanted to bargain with the emperor. Looking after the little ones, I'm exhausted."

"It's easy." The emperor cheered, "With a few virtuous women in the East Palace, you and Ajiu will have helpers? Xiao Shi, if you are really tired..."

"Not tired, not tired." The crown prince quickly stated, "I'm really not tired. My junior sister and I are doing well, we are doing well."

The crown prince came back to his senses and flattered him, "Father, with you in command, how can I be tired? I am full of energy and radiant every day! Father, look at how well Xiaozheng was taught by you, how sensible, so It's so rare for a young child to have a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor, and it's all thanks to you."

The emperor stuck to Xiao Shizhi's obedience, and couldn't help feeling proud and elated.Xiao Shi, just because of your two moves, you still want to play tricks with your father, you are a little tender.

The emperor played with his two precious grandsons for a while, full of joy, until the end of Shen Shi, when he let Xiao Shi, Xiao Zhengzheng, and Xiao Pingping go back to the East Palace.

Back in the East Palace, seeing Ajiu, Xiao Zhengzheng greeted her happily, while Xiao Pingping threw himself into her arms, talking excitedly and murmuring words that no one could understand.He probably also knew that his words would not be understood by his parents and elder brother. While speaking, he stretched out his small arms and gestured vigorously. He was too busy.

"Xiao Pingping, what do you mean?" Ajiu and the crown prince didn't know what the youngest son was trying to express, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw him talking and making gestures.

"He meant that he passed the threshold by himself today, and he is very capable." Xiao Zhengzheng said with some disdain.

As for whether this disdain is a fuss about my younger brother, or carelessness towards my parents, I don't know.

"Xiao Pingping can pass the threshold by himself? That's great!" Ajiu praised with a smile.

The crown prince also smiled at his youngest son, "Dad saw it with his own eyes, Xiaoping is doing well!"

Xiao Pingping was finally understood by his parents, clapped his little hands happily, and laughed silly twice.After laughing, he pulled up his small body and motioned to get off the ground. Ajiu put him down very understandingly. He leaned forward and rushed forward, running all the way to the threshold without falling.

When he reached the threshold, he turned his head and smiled at Ajiu, proudly and bravely stretched out his hands to hold the threshold, luckily, he first straddled one leg with difficulty, and then lay down on the threshold, his little face was full of complacency.

Ajiu and the crown prince came over together and cheered for him loudly, "Xiao Pingping is doing well!" Xiao Pingping was encouraged, and was going to make persistent efforts to step over the other leg. His eyes rolled and he looked around looking for someone.Xiao Zhengzheng knew that he couldn't hide, so he walked over slowly.Seeing him, Xiao Pingping smiled courteously, raised his other leg, and moved his whole body out of the threshold.

There was warm applause and cheers in the hall, and his father, mother, and brother all cheered for him.Xiao Pingping made an effort to go from the outside to the inside of the door, and then from the inside to the outside of the door. He tossed and tossed three times.The crown prince felt distressed, "My dear son, how about you have a good time tomorrow? That's all for today." He stretched out his arms and hugged him, not allowing him to perform again.Xiao Pingping was probably also tired, he let out a long breath, and leaned his little head on his father's shoulder contentedly.

"If a person learns a sample thing, he can't bear to abandon it." Ajiu smiled.

Not to mention the hard-earned skills that adults have learned, even Xiao Pingping has to show off to his parents and brothers after passing the threshold.

The crown prince's mouth twitched.According to what my junior sister said, father taught me how to choose a concubine, if I learned it, wouldn't I have the heart to abandon it?No, I don't want to learn, my junior sister and I are getting along well, so adding concubines to anything is purely superfluous.

How loving and harmonious the father-in-law and mother-in-law are, if there are concubines and maidservants between them, can they be so good?Will not.

Dad said today that you don't have to sell yourself to be an emperor.I don't sell myself, I don't want concubines, and of course I don't need to learn how to choose one.

Father, you should teach this skill to your precious grandson... No, Xiao Zhengzheng doesn't need it either, your skill must have been lost.

Poor daddy, no successor.

The crown prince had deep sympathy for his fat emperor father.

In the spring of this year, the crown prince wrote to various ministries and provinces to solemnly commend Tao Ming, the former magistrate of Mingshui County, and listed his various charitable deeds in Mingshui, "...the treasured minister who built the dynasty, and also the scholar-official A role model for going abroad."The emperor praised his approach very much, "If all [-] county magistrates in the country are like Tao Ming, there will be a new look." In fact, it is not extravagant to expect every county magistrate to be comparable to Tao Ming. When it reaches one or two out of ten of him, the people will get benefits.

"How did Xiao Shi come up with this idea?" the emperor asked with great interest.

The official position of county magistrate has both good and bad.If it is a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, a rich place, being a county magistrate is a fat job, taxes are easy to collect, and the people are easy to manage, so he can easily fill his own pockets.If it is a remote and impoverished place, the county magistrate is a hard job, and the tasks assigned by the superiors cannot be completed. The people love to fight with weapons and refuse to obey discipline.The crown prince listed and promoted Tao Ming's various deeds in Mingshui in detail, which is of course useful for improving the administration of officials.

"Think about it from my sons." The crown prince smiled, "Xiao Pingping is sometimes mischievous and disobedient, but when he sees what Xiao Zhengzheng is doing, he will follow suit. My junior sister and I let Xiao Zhengzheng be a role model for my younger brother." .”

"There are some things that Xiao Pingping doesn't know how to do, even if his parents teach him, he may not be willing to listen. But if his elder brother does it, he will follow suit. The county magistrates are also like this. They are unwilling to do some things, and they are not able to do some things. , I set an example, whether they are unwilling or not, they will be touched."

"Xiao Shi, you can do it." The emperor clicked his tongue.

Since Xiao Zheng was setting an example for Xiao Pingping, he thought of asking Tao Ming to set an example for [-] county magistrates, good, very good.

"Of course." The Crown Prince boasted triumphantly, "Who am I? Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish!"

The emperor was in a good mood, and let him blow a few words, but he didn't interrupt him, and he didn't beat him.

In recognition of Tao Ming, the crown prince gave Tao Ming a Wujin courtyard with a garden as a residence.Since we want to set an example, we must let the officials know that being an upright and good official can not only gain fame, but also benefit, instead of just doing nothing.There are a small number of people who are so noble that they are not popular, and most people eat fireworks. Let them see the benefits, the benefits of being honest officials.

Tao Ming became a celebrity, so popular that he became purple.His temperament is relatively indifferent, and Chu's family is also quite flattered. The husband and wife and their son Tao Song live behind closed doors, and they are still exactly the same as before, and they don't show up.However, Tao Ming really became famous in one fell swoop, and everyone in the world knows it.

Xiangshi was furious because of this, "Isn't it too selfish? Just because he married a daughter to the Pei family, this Tao Ming can not only be promoted three times in a row, but also become a role model for officials all over the world?"

In Xiang's view, Tao Ming was able to get this treatment not because of his own merits, but because his daughter married into the princess's natal family.The whole world knows that the crown prince and the crown princess are deeply in love with each other. For the sake of the crown princess's natal family, the crown prince does not hesitate to show favoritism with the respect of the crown prince.

How can the princess's natal family get such preferential treatment?It doesn't make sense.There was a girl who was also a princess, but she didn't bring any benefits to her natal family!
Xiangshi is quite depressed now.In the past, she could confide in her husband Jin Tongzheng when she had concerns, and Jin Tongzheng would listen patiently and respond gently, even if Xiangshi was very troubled, it gradually disappeared.Now, Jin Tongzheng has become estranged from her a lot. Sometimes he has bedtime conversations with three or five close friends and does not go home. Sometimes when he comes home late, he sleeps in the study instead of going back to the room to accompany her.Sensing her husband's indifference, Xiangshi was so sad that she couldn't help herself.Couples for many years, why is this?It is indeed my fault that An'er has come to this point, but An'er is my own, do I intend to harm her?It's just a trick of good fortune.

An'er is the flesh that fell from my body, don't I love her?Xiangshi washed his face with tears.

An'er has married into the Marquis of Linjiang, and her life is neither good nor bad.Chen Lingyun was overjoyed to marry a girl like An'er. She was submissive, gentle and considerate to her wife, but the Qiu family was not a good mother-in-law. Although she was not harsh on her daughter-in-law, she was not lenient. easy.In fact, once married, few women can live comfortably.

Xiangshi complained a lot about this, but An'er was content with it, "It's enough for him to treat me well. My mother-in-law is not my own mother, so do you still want her to be kind?" An'er obeyed the rules in front of Qiu Shi, and waited to return. Fang Bian and Chen Lingyun acted like a baby, and Chen Lingyun was so distressed that he took An'er out of the city to live in another courtyard for a few days, so that An'er could relax.When they came back, Qiu Shi became much gentler.Of course, it's just mild.

When An'er arrived in front of the Qiu family and the maid, she was a dignified and generous young mistress.When facing her husband and son-in-law alone, she became the lively girl she was when she was not married, with a sweet smile, lively eyebrows and eyes, and a lively air.Chen Lingyun loved her to the bone, and became closer to her.

Although this situation is not ideal, it is also very good.

If there is no Tao Ming's daughter in the world for comparison, Xiangshi can actually accept this situation.However, there is a famous official named Tao Ming in the world. Tao Ming's daughter married to Pei's Mansion on Jiuning Street. Because of marrying a daughter, Tao Ming was promoted and became famous. reputation.As for Tao Ming's daughter, she was not only doted on in Pei's family, but also in Duke Wei's mansion and in the palace.Her mother-in-law is Wei Guogong's first daughter, she is very generous, and she loves her daughter-in-law like a daughter...

Xiangshi has her pride and refuses to admit that she regrets it.It's fine if she doesn't go out, but if one day she goes out as a guest and meets the third wife of the Pei family and her three beautiful daughter-in-laws, Xiang's chest will hurt.

"Xianggong, Linjiang Marquis Mansion, can we really not separate the family?" Xiangshi asked Jin Tongzheng in a low voice with his face turning pale when he came back from a visit.

Jin Tongzheng said gently: "The rule of this dynasty is that if the parents are alive, the children and grandchildren are not allowed to have a different family or wealth. If the parents allow it, it is another matter. Mrs. Qiu of Linjiang Marquis Mansion is still here. If she insists on not wanting to separate the family, we have to let it go." .”

Jin Tongzheng knew that the Qiu family was not lenient to An'er, but even the mother-in-law was not lenient, let alone the son-in-law and daughter-in-law?Chen Lingfeng, the Marquis of Linjiang, is about to marry a wife. After he gets married, he will look like an adult, and Ling Yun will try to find him a position in the guards that is neither high nor low.At that time, perhaps it would be feasible to discuss the separation of the family with Mrs. Qiu.However, the Linjiang Marquis Mansion does not separate families, and it is inconvenient for the Jin family to comment.

When a daughter is married, she is married. If she is bullied, the father will uphold justice for her even if it costs him his life.However, if it is an ordinary housework dispute, it is not appropriate for the mother's family to manage too much and go deep.

"Would you like my wife to spend more time with Mrs. Qiu?" Jin Tongzheng pleaded softly, "Mrs. Qiu's natal family has no capable people, and Concubine Qiu has no sisterhood with her. If my wife is close to her, she will naturally reciprocate. "

According to what Ling Yun said, Mrs. Qiu is neither smart nor stupid, just an ordinary woman.If the Jin family took the initiative to show their kindness to such a person, she would have no reason not to follow.Xingguo Duke's mansion is not good, and Chen Lingfeng has been pampered by her again. Three to five years, he can't support Linjiang Hou's mansion.The Jin family wants to make out with her, will she push it away?

Xiangshi was stunned, and agreed, "Okay, how close I am to her." For An'er, I am willing to do this.

"Xianggong, Chaoyang and Qingyang have reached the age for marriage." Xiang's voice was so low that only Jin Tongzheng could hear it, "There is still no movement in the court, let's... what should we do?"

Chaoyang and Qingyang are the two biological daughters of the abolished concubine, and they were once conferred the titles of Princess Chaoyang and Princess Qingyang.

Jin Tongzheng pondered: "Look again. My lady, if they arrive and there is no movement in the court, I will try my best."

There are still many old disciples of Mr. Tang Ge, and everyone will not just watch the two little princesses be imprisoned for life, but cannot leave the court when they reach the age.This is against human ethics.

They are girls, not men.

If the court is not at ease, at worst they will be promised to innocent and powerless people.But, you can't lock them up forever.

Abolishing the prince and forcing the palace is a crime that no one can justify for him.The two little princesses are not, they are young and ignorant, and they are women, so they don't interfere in foreign affairs.
