A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

    "Princess Qianning is here."

      It is good-looking and majestic.

    Qianning Ganning, this title is really not eliminated. The Manchu civil and military people bowed their heads when they saw it. Even the old Fengjun, who is seven or eighty years old, in front of Gan Ning, does not dare to rely on the old and sell the old.

    The female family members and the family members bowed forward with their hands together, and the bead ring on their head leaned forward slightly, making a clinking sound. Rong Ke continued to walk forward, and when passing by, said in a light tone, "No need to be more polite, everyone, just get up."

    Rong Ke was followed by many courtiers, including the Xia family. When the daughters of the Xia family met their father and brother, they had to ask questions again.

      For a time, the faces of the Xia family were very bright.

    Other people meet their relatives and are happy, but the royal family is a little embarrassed here.

    As early as hearing Rong Ke, the emperor stood up, and the queen mother was still sitting steadily. The Queen Mother is a mother, and there is no ceremony from the elders to welcome the younger generation, which is normal. After Rong Lang walked down the steps and pulled Rong Ke up, the Queen Mother Xia still turned her face away and refused to talk to Rong Ke.

    When the queen mother was five steps away, Rong Ke folded her hands, bowed slightly and nodded: "The queen mother is well." Then she straightened up and took her seat without looking to the right.

    Rong Lang is very embarrassed to be caught in the middle. The Queen Mother looked like Rong Ke couldn't resist her, but Rong Ke was indifferent and calm. At first glance, she didn't pay attention to this matter at all, let alone to please the Queen Mother, Rong Lang sighed and sat silently in the middle.

    Rong Ke glanced at the female family and asked, "Why are so many people here today?"

    Xia Jiuniang knew that she was going to be a queen soon, and felt that she had a different identity, so she took the initiative to answer: "Cousin, let's come in to accompany the queen mother to enjoy flowers." Close relationship, but also replaced by cousin.

    Similar to the emperor's cousin entering the palace, and seeing the emperor, is it different to call your majesty?

    Rong Ke smiled and reached out to stop Xia Dalang's words: "Juniang is innocent and lively, uncle doesn't have to be like this."

    Rong Ke smiled and didn't say a word, Madam Xia felt that she was going to be the mother-in-law of the emperor, and she had the heart to cultivate the feelings of the emperor and empress, and said: "The saint is the most filial, who doesn't praise the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty? Mother this child looks naughty, but at home, she is also very careful and filial. These days she is afraid of the empress dowager being bored, and she even goes to the palace to talk to the empress dowager. We all say that this child is naughty, but has grown a delicate heart Woolen cloth."

    Xia Dalang was a little embarrassed to praise his daughter like this. He listened to his wife's retelling of the Queen Mother's meaning, and he was also happy for his own family, but he couldn't be too hasty in cultivating feelings.

    To mention a woman and the emperor side by side is not just anyone. Hearing this, Rong Ke did not change the curvature of his mouth, and looked at Xia Dalang with a smile: "Uncle is very lucky, my daughter is filial and can be at peace."

    Xia Dalang simply thought that Rong Ke was praising Xia Jiuniang for her filial piety, and smiled without saying a word. Xia Zhiheng also followed. Hearing this, his face was strange. He thought for a while, and suddenly his expression changed greatly.

     Jiuniang took it away, please forgive me, Your Highness."

    Xia Jiuniang said anxiously "Hey", and Madam Xia was even more annoyed: "What are you talking about!" Isn't this a bad thing?

    Xia Dalang did not expect Xia Zhiheng to say such a thing, he looked at Xia Zhiheng reproachfully, Xia Zhiheng turned his eyes, the light in his eyes flickered, full of warning.

    Xia Dalang didn't feel right, Rong Ke's words echoed in his mind, daughter is filial and can be at peace.

    Xia Dalang's complexion suddenly changed greatly, Princess Ding'an, also Queen Xiaoping, is not Wang Mang's daughter.

    How could he be blinded by glory and wealth? The two generations of queens came from the same family. They only saw the wealth after Jiuniang became the queen, and only saw the matter of the queen mother Xia after Zhang Luo's election. Why didn't they think about the attitude of the emperor and Princess Ganning?

    If the emperor agrees, this is a great fortune, if the emperor does not agree, this is a great disaster! After Xia Zhiheng pleaded guilty, Princess Ganning smiled and did not speak, even the emperor smiled, but did not say that he was flat. Xia Dalang was an official in the court, how could he not understand the meaning?

    Seeing that the father and brother suddenly turned pale and trembling, the daughters of the Xia family were puzzled.

    What's wrong?

    Xia Jiuniang's face was blank, and Madam Xia was even more angry. Too embarrassing.

    The Queen Mother Xia was also dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"

    Xia Dalang took the opportunity to quickly say: "The queen mother, the little girl is already engaged, I am afraid that she will not be able to talk to the queen mother often in the future. If the queen mother likes it, you might as well choose a few smart ladies from other officials. The little girl has no talent. Without virtue, I’m afraid I can’t do it.”

    Xia Jiuniang hurriedly said, "I can!" Before she finished speaking, Xia Dalang scolded her: "Shut up! If you don't get up, please apologize to the queen mother, the saint and the highness."

    For the sake of saying this, the Queen Mother Xia couldn't hear it. She wanted to make Xia Jiuniang the queen, but Rong Ke disagreed.

    The Empress Dowager Xia suddenly sank: "The orders of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, you have to defy me openly?"

    "The emperor has no family affairs, and the queen is the foundation of a country. The Xia family has two queens in a row. Even if I agree, the ancestors of the Rong family will not agree."

    Empress Xia was trembling with anger, pointed her finger at Rong Ke and said, "Who dares not to follow the Queen Mother's words? I want to see how far you dare to take power." Queen Xia turned her head, Said to Xia Jiuniang, "You will enter the palace as usual in the future."

    Xia Dalang and Xia Zhiheng pleaded in unison: "Juniang has already made another appointment, please forgive the Queen Mother."

    The Empress Dowager Xia looked at her brother and uncle and felt indignant: "I am still alive, you dare to disobey my will, and instead obey her?"

    The men of the Xia family lowered their heads and dared not speak. Rong Ke got up with a smile: "I still have something to do in the past, I'll go first. All cousins, just enjoy the flowers."

    The emperor also stood up: "Sister, I'll go with you."

    The Queen Mother Xia was so angry that her face was ashen, and the female family members of the Xia family looked at each other in dismay.

    They only knew that the princess of Qianning Station was in power, but today they truly realized what this sentence means. Empress Dowager Xia said it clearly, and with just one sentence, Rong Ke could scare the heads of the Xia family who were usually majestic and bloodless, and hurriedly refused. They only got to know each other today, what does it mean to talk about one another.

    Rong Lang followed Rong Ke back to Liangyi Hall. When they arrived at the Liangyi Hall, Rong Langping stepped down and said to Rong Ke, "Sister, mother, she is indecisive, and she is often unbearable. Don't be angry with her."

    "I know." Rong Ke said, "I just feel chilled."

    The son is the emperor, and the daughter is in power. It is normal for a mother to worry that her daughter will usurp the throne, but it is also very chilling. Rong Ke was thinking, if she was a man, would the Queen Mother Xia still be like this?

    This is a question that will inevitably have no answer. She never rejects her womanhood, and she never thinks about what I would be like if I were a man. Anyway, she is strong enough, so what if the Queen Mother Xia is suspicious? What if you try to break up her marriage? Anyway, the Queen Mother Xia couldn't make it happen.

    Nowadays, Rong Ke has her own princess mansion, her own fief, and her own choice of concubine. She is completely independent, which means that Empress Xia subconsciously prefers sons to daughters, and how can it affect her? ?

    Rong Lang watched the mother and sister's mother-daughter relationship getting weaker and weaker, heartache and helpless, so she could only comfort Rong Ke: "Sister, mother, she is trapped in the harem, she has only seen Fang Cunzhi Damn, if she doesn't say anything right, don't take it to heart. As for her wanting the daughter of the Xia family to be the queen, it's even more whimsical. If it wasn't for you who happened to be here today, I myself would have rejected it."

    It's just that Rong Lang's refusal can only be declined with the words "Cousin Xia is very good, but the two of us are not suitable", but Rong Ke came over and said "no", and it was solved .

    Rong Lang sighed, this is the gap between him and Rong Ke.

    Rong Ke and Rong Lang actually had a grudge between their sister and brother because of the Queen Mother Xia affair, and now Rong Lang took the initiative to open up and talk to Rong Ke, Rong Ke also sighed, and Rong Lang They talked heart-to-heart: "I didn't expect that she would stop my marriage, and she actually wanted to manipulate your choice of queen. Although the concubines and concubines in the harem all depend on what you like, the queen is different. The position of the middle palace will involve the prince of the east palace in the future. It's not your business to establish an empress, it's the world's business."

    "I understand."

    "From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the previous dynasties to the present day, the gentry have controlled the court for hundreds of years, and their prestige and status cannot be shaken overnight. Nowadays, when an official is married, he still pursues marrying a woman with five surnames. The princesses of the royal family can’t compare. Of course, this also has our own problems, but the officials will let them go after they are willing to ask for fame. As long as you, the high-ranking person, grasp the degree, don’t let the gentry overly control the power. ."

    Everyone is proud of marrying a woman with five surnames. These famous families are even ashamed of intermarriage, including the royal family. But in the end, how can the five-surnamed women live as freely as the princesses? It's just an empty name, as long as it doesn't touch the root of power, Rong Ke doesn't care at all.

    "That being said, but the position of the queen can no longer be placed in the middle of the five surnames. Since the elder sister is suppressing the family, then we ourselves must set an example for the world." Rong Lang Say.

    "You are so old, you should know who the queen should choose. In a few days, I will hold a banquet to invite the daughters of officials above the fifth rank of the capital into the palace. When that time comes, you will See for yourself."

    The wedding of the emperor is often a harbinger of pro-government. Hearing this, Rong Lang was very moved, and couldn't help standing up and salute Rong Ke: "Sister, I will never forget your kindness to me."

    Rong Lang knows better than anyone else that Rong Ke now has amazing authority, and secretly has Yin Xiaowei support, which is equivalent to her private soldier. If Rong Ke wanted to abolish Rong Lang and establish himself as emperor, it would be a real effort.

    And now, Rong Ke has handed over the throne to Rong Lang in an understatement. Rong Lang asked himself that he couldn't do it, and admired Rong Ke's heart very much.

    Rong Ke looked at the magnificent and luxurious Liangyi Hall and exhaled softly: "It's been almost seven years since my father left."

    Rong Ke has been regent for almost seven years.

    Rong Ke retracted her mind and instructed Rong Lang about some political affairs, the relocation and relegation of many ministers, the secret relationships of various families, and her experience in government for many years.

    Rong Ke and Rong Lang have been talking about Twilight Sihe. Rong Lang glanced at the sky and persuaded: "Sister, don't leave the palace today, stay in Yonghe Palace."

    "No, the palace gate is not locked yet." Rong Ke stood up and instructed Rong Lang the last sentence, "Rong Lang, you must remember that you are an emperor. Since then, you have What you do, what you say and do, can't come from your heart, but from your brain."

    Rong Lang solemnly worshipped: "Rong Lang wrote it down."

    An emperor cannot have his own selfishness. He wants to balance the harem as well as the front. The Xia family is not his grandfather's family, but the Queen Mother's relatives. His wife is not his wife, but the Empress of the Central Palace. Even his concubines are related to the forces of various schools in the DPRK.

    Rong Ke took a deep look at Rong Lang, turned and walked out of the Tai Chi Palace.

    Rong Ke went to Linhu Hall today. She originally heard that the Queen Mother was going to confer marriage, and Xiao Jingduo was also called to the back, so she went. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingduo went back, she went back, just staggered. Rong Ke rushed out of the palace before the palace gate was locked, and went straight back to the princess' residence.

    Xiao Jingduo heard that Rong Ke was returning to the house, and immediately came to see her.

    In the main hall of the Princess Mansion, Rong Ke was surrounded by a screen, slowly pacing and watching.

    Xiao Jingduo recognized the origin of this screen as soon as he came in. When he was a county magistrate in southern Shunan, he used double-sided embroidery to create a 10-fold Jiangshan screen and sent it to Chang'an as a gift for the new year. Among them, the picture of Youzhou is still his own handwriting.

    "Why did you move out of such a big screen again?"

    Rong Ke saw Xiao Jingduo and waved him to approach: "This is Youzhou, right?"

    "Yes." Xiao Jingduo paused and looked at her with a smile, "You want to talk about this again?"

    Xiao Jingduo painted the story of King Qin's siege on the Youzhou painting. Because of this, Xiao Jingduo was ridiculed by Rong Ke a lot.

    "You mentioned it yourself, I didn't say it." Rong Ke also smiled. She walked past a fan of paintings and embroidery, and said softly: "Today, the governor of Youzhou came to report that it was a severe drought in Youzhou, and the age was not good. He also said in the excerpt that he was willing to respond to the government's new policies on farming and mulberry. But the county magistrate below is stubborn and stubborn, and he can only sigh."

    "It's true that you can't blame the governor at all. I once served as a county magistrate in the Jiannan frontier, and the county magistrates around Chang'an, Luoyang and other places often have dozens of people asking for a position, but in remote areas In the local middle and lower poverty counties, no one in the DPRK is willing to take office, let alone the jinshi with higher qualifications from the imperial examination. In the end, all talented people are spent in Chang'an, while the number of Zhongxia counties is wider and wider. , but no one took office, so they could only recruit squires from the local area. These squires didn’t know a lot of big characters, and their governance was far inferior to that of the jinshi from the imperial examination. As a result, the gap between Zhongxia County and Wangxian County around Liangjing It's only going to get bigger."

    Rong Ke also nodded in agreement: "Indeed. Chang'an is prosperous, but outside of Chang'an, the world is still very big."

      , he stayed in Chang'an, and I went to the frontier to sort out local political affairs. Now Daxuan looks thriving, but the central government's binding force on the local area is really not enough."

    Xiao Jingduo looked at Rong Ke for a long time, and in the end, he had to deeply admire: "Your mind is really amazing."

    Rong Ke was ordered in the face of danger when the storm was turbulent. Since his administration, he has been resolute and strong. She had peace on the outside and a vassal king on the inside. In six years, she managed a new dynasty to prosper, and all countries came to the dynasty. But at the peak of her power, she was able to resist the temptation to return to power in a chic and unrestrained manner, and go to the outer government to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of official governance. Taking orders in times of crisis, and retiring when he succeeds, this unrestrained spirit of delegating power is Xiao Jingduo's change of position, and he can't guarantee that he can do this.

    This is the follow-up to that conversation. Xiao Jingduo asked, "Did you ever think about being an emperor by yourself when you were on the city wall that day?"

    "I thought about it. I hesitated for a long time, and then I saw the screen you sent, the desert, Jiannan, Guanzhong, Lingnan, Jiangnan, these places I have been in the local officials countless times. I heard about it in the excerpts, but I have never been there. Even if I succeeded in winning the throne, I can only stay in Chang'an for the rest of my life, listening to people sing praises of virtue, but I don't know what the prosperous world under my rule looks like for the rest of my life. It's that big, and I don't want to trap myself."

    Rong Ke's character is quite capricious and adventurous, and if he thinks about it, he will come out. This kind of temperament is really not suitable for being an emperor. What's more, if Rong Ke wanted to become emperor, she would have to kill a wave of people, including her own younger brother Rong Lang, and her mother, the Queen Mother Xia.

    She has reached the highest peak of power in the world, and the rest is no longer attractive to her. She should go where she is really needed.

    What Xiao Jingduo did was to hug her from behind: "I'm very happy that you can think like this. If you really become emperor, I will definitely support you to the end, but things will follow. , but it is very troublesome.”

    If the Xuan Dynasty had a queen, what would the harem do?

    In the spring of the seventh year of Qianyuan, Princess Qianning held a banquet and invited officials and family members above the fifth grade of Zhongzheng to the palace to enjoy flowers. She also specially said that she could bring her children. In this way, no one can see the hints that are clearly stated, and the officials and wives will all show off their daughters' dresses and enter the palace to run for election. This time, it was made clear that it was Princess Gan Ning who was looking at the emperor, and the latter did not dare to think about it, but there were still many concubines.

    Many people tried to test the meaning of Princess Gan Ning in a fancy way. As for Empress Dowager Xia... The ministers did not exert much force in that direction. Who can say what? Their eyes are not too old to see, even if Empress Dowager Xia is the emperor's biological mother.

    After the grand flower viewing banquet, Rong Ke supported Rong Lang, took over the book in the court, and took him with him when discussing matters with the prime minister. It is well known in the court and the public that Princess Gan Ning is about to return to the throne, and the emperor Rong Lang, who has grown into a young man, is going to be in charge.

      . Not to mention, during her reign, she also ushered the Xuan Dynasty into a new and prosperous era.

    Duan Gong sighed to the children of the clan: "Although the princess is a woman, her skills are not inferior to men, and her mind is far better than the men in the world. I am ashamed."

    Even Duke Duan, who is famous all over the world, said this, and others were even more impressed. When the imperial decree was read out, Duke Duan took all the courtiers and bowed deeply to Rong Ke: "Princess is virtuous, the blessing of the world. The ministers represent the people of the world. Thank you, Your Highness Ganning."

    "The gentlemen are exempt."

    "Thank you, Princess. I wish the princess a long time."

    At the beginning of the year, we saw each other publicly. In addition to the queen, four concubines were also canonized this time. After the emperor is in power, there will be another draft.

    The wedding of the emperor and queen was set in June of the eighth year of Qianyuan. The always leisurely Ministry of Rites seemed to wind up, and everyone was busy with their feet not touching the ground.

    The Queen Mother Xia was suspicious of Rong Ke's unwillingness to let go of power, and there was a stalemate. Although no one in the court said anything, they actually knew it. Now Rong Ke is leading Rong Lang to familiarize himself with the state affairs. The Queen Mother Xia's face seems to be slapped hard. Princess Ganning is not greedy for power at all, and she will go to the frontier to deter foreign enemies in the future. They all feel really petty.

    Empress Dowager Xia also knew that it was her own villainy heart, and she felt guilty about her daughter. She sent palace maids to Princess Qianning's mansion many times, wanting to have a good relationship with Rong Ke. Rong Ke just put people aside indifferently, ignoring them.

    As the wedding date of the emperor is getting closer and closer, Rong Ke is busy setting up her cronies and sorting out the relationship between the court and the court. Duan Gong deliberately entered the palace and had a long talk with Rong Ke.

     "His Royal Highness, Yin Xiaowei is your private soldier. When King Jiang An and King Liang rebelled, he really contributed. These years of civil strife have been settled. You use Yin Xiaowei to collect news and supervise Officials in the DPRK have good intentions at first, but, Your Highness, Yin Xiaowei's power is unilateral, not even restricted. As long as they wear masks, they can do whatever they want. Now that you are in charge, they dare not be arrogant. Excuse me to say something disrespectful, what if in the future, the Xuan Dynasty has a confused emperor? If Yin Xiaowei wants to fabricate criminal evidence and exclude dissidents, this will be a disaster for the country."

    Rong Ke did not speak for a long time after listening.

    When Xiao Jingduo came in, the palace maid said that Duke Duan had just left.

    Xiao Jingduo reported to Rong Ke: "The right department has added another 100 people this year. Now all messages are delivered in secret words, and the message chain is complete."

    This is an achievement that took eight years of their construction. A message chain that can go directly to the people can in turn supervise officials. What kind of feat is this?

    But this time Rong Ke listened, but his expression did not change much. She said, "Uncle Li is getting old. I had planned to honor him for a long time, but he refused to leave. Now that Yin Xiaowei has taken shape, it is time to let Uncle Li take a break."

    Uncle Li in Rong Ke's mouth is the commander of Yinxiaowei, and everyone in Yinxiaowei knows that the commander's surname is Li. In fact, it's useless to know, and they don't know what the great commander looks like. Can't they find someone just by their surname? However, Xiao Jingduo obviously won't pay attention to these, he noticed the connotation in Rong Ke's words. "The commander is leaving?"

    Bai Jiayi heard these words as soon as he came in. He raised his head to look at Rong Ke, and then looked at Xiao Jingduo after reading it, which happened to meet Xiao Jingduo's eyes.

    The left and right divisions have always been in a competitive relationship, and the chief commander can obviously only be selected from the chiefs of the left and right divisions.

    In other words, only one person, Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi, can become the grand commander and hold the highest and greatest power.

    Both of them knew each other's identities very well, and Rong Ke had been fighting faintly during his administration. But there is only one great commander, one will be in power, and the other will be suppressed. There is no doubt that the commander is the most trusted person around Rong Ke. Rong Ke is only temporarily avoiding Chang'an, and it is not that he will not be involved in politics in the future, nor will he never come back. If he can win the position of great commander, how helpful it will be to his career in the future, even a fool can understand.

    Rong Ke said: "The emperor's wedding is imminent, this is a critical moment for the handover of power, and no accidents are allowed in the past few days."

    Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi both nodded, indicating they understood.

    In the next few days, the confrontation between the left and the right was even worse, and even the people below could see that the left and right ambassadors were competing for the post of commander.

    They have been fighting for two months. Two months later, Yin Xiaowei went to the palace as usual to report that Bai Jiayi and Xiao Jingduo were both there. After reporting the matter, they were about to withdraw when they heard Rong Ke say, "Left Envoy stay."

    Bai Jiayi's footsteps stopped, and the people on the left immediately showed joy. In front of Rong Ke, everyone had to take off their masks to show their allegiance, so everyone's expressions were unobstructed.

    Bai Jiayi's heart beat fast, Xiao Jingduo turned his head and took a deep look at Bai Jiayi, and took people away first.

    When they went to court a few days later, all the officials filed into the Taiji Hall, and they were taken aback as soon as they entered the hall.

    A group of young men in black clothes and silver stripes stood on the west side of the hall, where the military attaché stood. With masks on their faces, they were cold and ruthless, and they were terrifying in the dim morning light.

    All officials are beating drums, what are you doing? Did the princess temporarily regret it?

    Just when everyone was in shock and guessing, the waiter sang a promise: "The saint, the eldest princess is here."

    In the salute of all the ministers, Rong Lang sat on the throne of God, but Rong Ke did not take the seat, but stood in front of the hall.

    "You must also know that these people are Yin Xiaowei, and they can be regarded as my absolute cronies. In the early years of political turmoil, I originally planned to cast the sharpest knife, the Zhili Emperor, Internally suppressing the palace, externally intimidating ministers, so that corrupt officials will no longer dare to act indiscriminately. But Duke Duan reminded me that if this sword can hurt others, it can hurt myself.”

    "Since the appearance of Yin Xiaowei, although the number of criminals has decreased, the number of people who speak out in court has also dropped sharply. The existence of the Yin Xiaowei made the wise men in the world dare not give advice to the emperor anymore, that is, they fished because the small lost the big and dried up the lake. In order to show my sincerity, I now give Yin Xiaowei the name Qiwuwei, to warn them to enlighten and protect our country. And take off the mask in front of the hundred officials, and from then on, accept the supervision of the world."

    "Silver Owl."

    All Yin Xiaowei took a step forward and brushed the security: "The minister is here."

    "Take off the mask."

    Sounds burst out in the Tai Chi Hall, and even Rong Lang stood up unexpectedly.

    More than 100 silver guards stretched their hands to the mask under the watchful eyes of the public, and when a certain mechanism was buttoned, the mask fell off.

    Their true colors are also shown in the eyes of all.

    Seeing the leader's face, many of the courtiers shouted in surprise: "Bai Jiayi!"

    Bai Jiayi couldn't see the flirtatious, romantic appearance of the past at this time, his face was indifferent, and he let everyone look at him. He made a slight mistake and saw Xiao Jingduo standing in the front row of Wen Chen.

    Xiao Jingduo, wearing a red maid costume, looked at Bai Jiayi silently across the crowd.

    Bai Jiayi knew that Xiao Jingduo won again. Although Rong Ke said that all Yinxiaowei took off their masks and changed their names to Qiwuwei, why should they change their names if everyone made their identities public?

    Yin Xiaowei was divided into two parts. The group who walked to the front of the stage were renamed Qiwuwei, while the real Yin Xiaowei still existed in the dark night.

    Bai Jiayi's transition from the dark to the bright is both a plus and a minus. His current status is no less than the commander of Jinyiwei. But he was still unwilling. Xiao Jingduo could keep his identity private for the rest of his life, and then he could be promoted to the commander of Yin Xiaowei and stay by Rong Ke's side for a long time, but he had to part ways with this smart and legendary princess regent.

    When the courtiers calmed down, Rong Ke continued to say: "come here, give me your service."

    The palace man was holding a segment plate with a special court dress with a black background and a silver border on it, and there was a three-grade fish talisman next to it.

    The inner servant came forward with an edict and sang: "Focusing Bai Jiayi as the first commander of Qiwuwei, the military officer is of the third grade, and given the third grade fish charm." After the inner servant finished singing, he smiled at Bai Jia Yi Yi cupped his hands: "Commander Bai, congratulations."

    The once-prosperous Yinxiaowei was divided into two when no one knew about it. The rank of Qiwu Guard is in line with that of the imperial military attache, and Yin Xiaowei has also made corresponding adjustments. In order to limit the intelligence agency he created by himself, Rong Ke changed half of it to the public, renamed it Qiwuwei, and left the other half of Yinxiaowei, and then divided the left and right guards inside to supervise and hold Qiwuwei. Two guards, one bright and one dark, one public and one private, can contain each other and ensure that the king's eyes and ears are not deceived.

    Yin Xiaowei, since then, can only walk in the dark night and disappear completely in the official history.

    When the dynasty was dispersed, Hingbu Langzhong and Xiao Jingduo said: "His Royal Highness actually disclosed these shadows and gave them official identities. Since then, there is one more guard among the sixteen guards, and I don't know if it is good or bad. ."

    Xiao Jingduo was unexpectedly in a good mood, he silently added in his heart, not the seventeenth guard, but the eighteenth. Finally, Bai Jiayi, a political and rival in love, was completely resolved, and Xiao Jingduo was extremely happy.

    The emperor's wedding was held as scheduled, and the last imperial edict of Rong Ke's reign was to move Xiao Jingduo, the servant of the Ministry of War, to be the governor of Youzhou, and to grant hereditary inheritance to the Xihou mansion.

    Hereditary! The princes who were officials in the dynasty were surprised again. The Xuan Dynasty has been very cautious about the awards of princes. Except for the princes who founded the country, the rest are only those who have made great achievements, and they are only awarded to one generation. , when it comes to the son, there is no title to inherit. Even the most revered group of princes have been killed in three generations. Whether they can continue to retain their titles after the third generation depends on the minds of the pilgrims. Looking at the world's powerful and powerful, there is no one who can be hereditary and irreplaceable.

      The dignitaries were clamoring and resolutely refused to agree. Even if they wanted to ban him, they couldn't just ban him.

    Until Rong Lang took the imperial jade seal from Rong Ke calmly, and issued the first imperial edict during the Chengzong period.

      The Marquis of Chengxi has made great contributions to protecting the country, and she matches the age of Princess Qianning of Zhenguo.

    When this decree came down, everyone shut up.

    There are only 1,000 households in Princess Shiyi, but Rongke has achieved the title of 10,000 households, but everyone thinks this is what it should be. The hereditary replacement promulgated by Gan Ning is understandable now. The descendants of Xiao Jingduo can be hereditary replacement. The powerful and powerful are not convinced, but if they are also the heirs of Gan Ning, then there is nothing to say.

    Gan Ning she deserves it.

    Chang'an is the focus of the empire, what happened in the capital will soon spread to the outside world. In a small nunnery outside the city of Luoyang, Cheng Huizhen was leading a practice and was doing a daily evening class in her house. She vaguely heard pilgrims walking by the door saying, "Have you heard that a few years ago, I led troops to encircle it? The Marquis of Chengxi in Luoyang City has been given a hereditary replacement."

    "Hereditary? Does it mean that generations, children and grandchildren, can be rich and rich?"

    "That's not it. The fate of life is really unpredictable. I heard people say that when Chengxihou was young, he was not valued by his family very much.

    "Really? People who can marry him can be regarded as three lifetimes of virtue..."

    …

    The two ladies were talking and went away. At this time, the emperor had just got married, and the marriage decree had not yet been promulgated, but the matter of the Marquis of Chengxi had already spread to Luoyang.

    Cheng Huizhen listened to the pilgrims walking away from the door. She lowered her head to read the scriptures again, but couldn't read a single word.

    Cheng Huizhen looked at the sky with a wry smile, no wonder she knew that her eldest cousin was hereditary, so it was.

    She thought she was blessed by God, so she could be reborn. But Cheng Huizhen has the memory of the first life, and everything she does in the second life is prompting everything to happen according to the trajectory of the first life.

    On the second day, the nunnery master saw that Cheng Huizhen had not gone out for a long time, she remembered the instructions of the noble in Beijing, and hurriedly went to Cheng Huizhen's house to check.

    Opening the door, Mrs. Shi saw Cheng Huizhen lying on the bed with her clothes on, with a fresh face, but her breath had been cut off for a long time.

    The news of Cheng Huizhen's death quickly spread back to Chang'an. Rong Ke lived in the palace and took the note from Luoyang from Yin Xiaowei.

    After seeing it, she put the note on the candle and burned it into ashes.

    Rong Ke instructed Yinxiaowei: "Yinxiao has transferred half of the people to Qiwuwei. Although you both come from the same source, once separated, they are like light and shadow and cannot be confused anymore. In the future, people in Yinxiao will hide their identities, and are not allowed to walk in public. Also, it is strictly forbidden to collude with Qiwuwei in private.

    "Yes."

    "After I get married, I will leave Beijing. At that time, I will take away the right part of Yinxiaowei and leave the left part in the capital. Listen carefully to the orders of the saint. If you disobey, I will decide No mercy."

    "Subordinates obey."

    Rong Ke ordered a lot more, and after finally arranging things for Yin Xiaowei and Qi Wuwei, it was already dark.

    Rong Ke walked to the window, opened the tall window, and looked up at the stars.

    She already has a marriage contract on her body now, so naturally she can't live in the princess mansion anymore, she can only move back to the palace, and Xiao Jingduo can't come to the princess mansion to see her anytime, anywhere. There are so many stars today, what is Xiao Jingduo doing now?

    Bai Jiayi was revealed, and of course the commander of Yin Xiaowei became Xiao Jingduo's bag. When Rong Ke made this decision, although he considered that Bai Jiayi was good at dancing and sociable, and could better handle the relationship between Qiwuwei and the elites in Beijing, he also had his own selfishness.

    Rong Ke wants to leave the most trusted position around her to Xiao Jingduo.

    Without Xiao Jingduo, Rong Ke would not have come to this point in a stable manner, and without Rong Ke, Xiao Jingduo would not have risen rapidly in a few years.

    The legend of the Qianning era cannot be realized without Rong Ke or Xiao Jingduo. Rong Ke and Xiao Jingduo have been supporting and achieving each other all the way.

    Fortunately, now, there will no longer be obstacles in their way, and they will soon become husband and wife, sharing glory and shame.

    The wedding of the emperor and queen was held in the spotlight. The queen first ascended the throne, and she was burdened with the expectations of the whole dynasty. She was quite pressured. And the first thing she did after being enthroned was actually to manage the marriage between Princess Ganning and Marquis Chengxi.

    The queen really felt that she had no way to start, so she went to test the emperor's tone: "Saint, what kind of specifications should the eldest princess descend?"

    The princess size is obviously not enough. The emperor thought about it and said: "Compare the queen size, it should be heavier."

    The queen who heard this was very uncomfortable, but there was no way, the emperor had spoken like this, how could she dare to disobey.

    The wedding of Princess Zhenguo Ganning was still talked about ten years later.

    On that day, a hundred officials stood in the Taiji Palace, and the Luan car that sent Princess Gan Ning away from the Taiji Palace, followed the road that the Son of Heaven could only walk, and turned into the Marquis of Chengxi in Jing'an Square. The emperor and the queen personally sent Princess Ganning out of the palace, and the ministers sent them off with their carriages for marriage, and the people who came to welcome the mansion of the Marquis of Chengxi were also high-ranking officials of the third rank and famous generals on the battlefield.

    Princess Qianning's dowry couldn't be lifted by eight people together, and the candles lit by the honor guard even scorched the willow trees on the street. The people entering and leaving the Princess Mansion and the Chengxihou Mansion were all princes and generals, and the drum music continued until nightfall.

    The wedding was held in the evening according to ancient etiquette. When Xiao Jingduo finally saw Rong Ke, it was too late, but the palace maids used a fan to cover Rong Ke's face and figure, but Fan Shi refused to give up.

    Enough is enough. It is also fortunate that Xiao Jingduo was a jinshi, so he was able to show no timidity along the way, from urging makeup to walking on the road and then to the fan.

    Xiao Jingduo's ears were filled with laughter from everyone, many bold officials and wives were still giving advice to the palace elves, but in Xiao Jingduo's eyes, only one person could be seen.

    She was wearing a dark green dress and sitting behind the heavy fans. Although she couldn't see anyone, Xiao Jingduo knew that Rong Ke just laughed.

      Crying: "The Duke of Xuan has raised his army! The King of Qin has brought people to attack Zhuo County!"

      : "Who are you?"

    The little girl's face is like ice and snow, and she looks proud. She said, "My name is Rong Ke."

    In the eighth year of Qianyuan, the Lord returned to the emperor and descended to the Marquis of Xi. The following year, the Lord went to Youzhou with the Marquis of Chengxi, but the Emperor stayed for a long time without success, so he had no choice but to agree.

      A Hu Shang was captured by the East Turks, and the Shang shouted the name of the master, and the East Turks heard it, looked at each other in horror, did not dare to make a mistake, and competed to release him.

    In the eighth year of Qianyuan, Xiao Jingduo worshiped the governor of Youzhou and commanded the soldiers and horses of the ten states in southern Mo. In the first year of Cheng'an, Duo took his master out of Chang'an and went to Youzhou. At that time, the Turks in the East often disturbed the border, and when they heard that Xiao Jingduo was coming, they were all like lost dogs, and they dared not go into the secluded again. In the name of the governor, he has never dared to violate the border for decades.

    Xiao Jingduo was still the eldest princess of Guoganning. After surrendering, the two raised their eyebrows and reconciled. In Youzhou, it is common for a couple to step on the snow to find plums, and ride horses on the grassland. At that time, people suspected Gaiduo and the Lord.

      The minister of worship in June. Soon, he was transferred to the Minister of War.
