Twin Brocade

Chapter 146 Past events

It was late at night, after a whole night of tossing, Princess Jing'an was very tired.But the hair was not dry yet, Liang Chen had to find some words to attract her attention and prevent her from falling asleep.

Liangchen had good intentions, and Princess Jing'an could understand it, so she followed her words and said, "Do you know the origin of Guichenghou's Mansion?"

Jingmei shook her head and said, "The servant girl only knows that the Cui family of Guicheng's residence is a general who surrendered from the previous dynasty, so the title is called Guicheng."

"That's right, the Cui family." Princess Jing'an sighed, "This Cui is not an ordinary surname, it is the Boling Cui family, a family that has lasted for hundreds of years."

"The first emperor founded the country and tried every means to weaken the power of the aristocratic family. Following the imperial examination in the last years of the previous dynasty is one of the measures."

Princess Jing'an talked about sex, wondering if she wanted to deliberately avoid the thorn in her heart, and told her confidant maid about the origin of the imperial examination, and the two were confused when they heard it.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Princess Jing'an couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Why should I tell you this? Let's talk about the Cui family. Back then, the Cui family was full of old disciples in the previous dynasty, and they controlled the government with the other five surnames and seven sects. "

She has never experienced these things, but she heard about them from the first emperor.

There is a big age difference between the brother and sister. When Princess Jing'an was enlightened beside the heroic empress dowager, the first emperor had already led his troops and horses to fight everywhere.

After the founding of the country, out of guilt, the first emperor pampered her very much.Rather than saying that he loves his younger sister, it is better to say that he loves her like a daughter.Even the first emperor's own princess did not receive as much love and care as her.

And because she is a daughter, the first emperor did not shy away from her in terms of government affairs.Therefore, although Princess Jing'an did not have the teachings of Confucianism, she grew up in the power center of Quangaomang and possessed natural political acumen.

In the last years of the former dynasty, the aristocratic family controlled the court and divided up the power. The emperor became a complete puppet, and the government orders did not leave the capital.

To be fair, the last emperor of the previous dynasty could be called Mingjun, but it was a pity that he was born at an untimely time.He wanted to break the aristocratic family's monopoly on talents and established the imperial examination system, but all the aristocratic families jointly resisted, and the children from poor families were excluded, and very few were able to succeed.

In the end, the world was in chaos, and wars broke out everywhere.Relying on years of accumulation, the wealthy families led their own troops to compete in Kyushu.

The Wei family was only the sheriff stationed in Jinyang at that time.Jinyang is known as the northern capital, and it is a battleground for military strategists. Several families have offered olive branches to the Wei family.However, the first emperor was used to the ugly face of the family, and he didn't want to make wedding dresses for others, so he set up a banner to participate in this world war.

It is not easy for the Wei family to take down this world.

A behemoth like an aristocratic family has always only profited from the interests of the family and ignored people's livelihood.The strife between families and the exclusion and persecution of children from poor families all made the late emperor make up his mind to adopt different means to weaken the power of the family and vigorously promote the imperial examination to select scholars.

After the deliberate suppression by the first emperor, the aristocratic family has gradually weakened.But the centipede is dead but not stiff, and most of the people in the court are poor students, but officials from aristocratic families who have passed the imperial examination are still all over Gaomang.

It is too easy to train a few Jinshi with the background of a century-old family.The Boling Cui family is just one of them.

Thinking of these past events, the late emperor tried to force the aristocratic family to submit, and Princess Jing'an felt proud and proud.Along with it, the pain just now gradually calmed down.

Compared with the hardships of the late emperor, what is the pain of my own?
Princess Jing'an fell into her own thoughts, Liang Chen and Mei Mei brushed her hair silently, not to disturb her.They all knew that when Her Royal Highness showed such an expression, she was remembering the late emperor.

Since they didn't ask, Princess Jing'an didn't continue to explain the relationship between Boling Cui's family and Guicheng Hou's Mansion.There is no doubt that Jinghe came from Boling Cui's family, so what's so special about her knowing herbal medicine?
You know, the Cui family is good at taking care of their daughters.Daughters from Cui's family have their own characteristics, whether they are the wife of the clan or married back to live, they are all capable.

The Cui family's daughter is easier to marry than the emperor's daughter.

The Cui family presented a daughter-in-law to express their submission; the first emperor accepted the Cui family, which also meant to appease the aristocratic family.Tell all the aristocratic families that as long as you are loyal enough, you will not kill them all.

That night, Princess Jing'an was in a tizzy, recalling the past of the late emperor.

In the fire scene, after the last trace of hidden danger was eliminated, everyone dispersed and gradually became quiet.Only the burnt wooden beams were still steaming with the last remnants of heat.

The question in his mind was answered, Fang Jinshu slept soundly, and woke up refreshed.

The next few days will be very busy.Jingchen assigned people to take turns to clean up the residue from the fire.Let Jingzhen pay attention to Princess Jing'an's body and heal the wounded.

Most of Princess Jing'an's servants were rescued, only two of them were seriously injured, and one was hit on the head and died on the spot.Later, while clearing the fire, her charred remains were found.

Upon hearing the news, Princess Jing'an ordered her to be buried in the back mountain, and after the beginning of spring, she would give her family 300 taels of snowflake silver as a pension.

How could the Jinwu guards guarding in the outer courtyard not know about the big movement of the fire.However, men are not allowed in the nunnery, so they can only worry.Fortunately, the fire was brought under control.

After General Lang inquired about the news from Master Jingchen, he brought the matter to Beijing with the pigeons raised in the army.Regarding the thief that night, Jingchen and Jingzhen chased them all the way, and after a fight, both Jingzhen and the leader of the opponent were injured, but they still failed to keep him.

After about seven or eight days, Fei Ge brought back the letter from the Zongzheng Temple in Beijing.Jingyi Nunnery belongs to Samana and is under the name of the Ministry of Rites.At the same time, it is the honorary place for the imperial concubine, and Zongzheng Temple also has the right to intervene.

If it was just the concubine, Zongzheng Temple would not be so active.The key point is that Princess Jing'an is still in the nunnery, so Prince Duan can't help but take it to heart.

He stated in the letter that when the snow melts in spring, he will immediately send people up the mountain to investigate the damage in the nunnery.Send craftsmen to rebuild the houses.In addition, there were thieves peeping in the majestic royal nunnery. Emperor Qinglong was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishments to investigate.

After going through this tribulation together, the feelings of everyone in the nunnery became better and better.

Jing Yue welcomed Princess Jing'an into her yard, but she didn't show her face in front of her, so she simply lived more reclusively.It's still Princess Jing'an who feels bad, and takes her with her in everything, and the relationship between the two is getting closer.

After Princess Jing'an escaped from danger, the first person she saw was Fang Jinshu.

With her current status, gold, silver and jewelry are easy to get, but sincerity is hard to find.She could see Fang Jinshu's concern for her and the tears she shed.

Now, he really regards Fang Jinshu as a junior.She even told Fang Jinshu the life experience she had accumulated for decades.
