Looking at Li Jie who couldn't bear to bow to him from beginning to end, Liu E sighed silently.
She needs to calm down.
"I resign!"
Li Jie had the foresight to say goodbye and did not stay in Bao Ci Hall any longer.
"well."
Seeing the official's figure disappear behind the curtain, Liu E let out a long sigh.
After all, there is no defense!
In fact, she has been worried about this for many years. Although Li Shunrong's affairs are secret, many people know about them.
If so many people know, what secrets can there be?
Exposure comes sooner or later!
Originally, Liu E thought that this matter would not be known to the officials until after her death. After all, it was not just her idea to send the official documents directly to her name.
The late emperor also participated in it.
Without the late emperor's acquiescence, how could she have blocked Yuyou's mouth?
As a result, less than a year after the late emperor's death, the matter came to light.
Who gave the advice to the officials?
This man really deserves to die!
Someone must have seen the changes in the situation in the palace and thought she was about to retreat, so they found the right opportunity to advise the officials!
That must be the case!
Thinking of this, Liu E immediately clenched her fists.
Don't let him find out who it is!
…
Grand Princess Mansion.
"Madam, you should discuss this matter with me."
The prince-in-law Li Zunxu looked at his wife with a sad face. He had just returned home when he received news like a bolt from the blue.
My wife actually got involved in Li Shunrong's affairs.
This matter involves the official family, the Queen Mother, Concubine Yang, the official mother, and even though my wife is also a member of the royal family, can she get involved in this matter?
"Sir, if I told you in advance, would you agree?"
The eldest princess smiled gently, showing no discomfort at being complained about.
"Well……"
Upon hearing this, Li Zunxu immediately froze on the spot.
yes.
If he had known about it in advance, he would have prevented his wife from participating no matter what.
wrong!
Suddenly, Li Zunxu's heart moved.
I almost got caught in it.
This should not be a matter of discussion or non-negotiation, but something that does not need to be considered at all.
This matter should never have happened!
Thinking of this, Li Zunxu was also very puzzled. As the person next to him, he knew the eldest princess best. With his wife's temperament, why would she get involved in such a thing?
"Madam, since the deal is done, I won't say any more, but there is just one thing..."
Here, before Li Zunxu finished speaking, the eldest princess took the initiative to complete his words.
"Do you want to ask me why I am so unwise?"
The eldest princess looked at Li Zunxu with a smile, her tone was always soft and gentle.
"no……"
Li Zunxu shook his head repeatedly: "My wife, Hui Zhi Lan Xin, is a strange woman in the world, how come she doesn't know the importance?"
"I just feel a little weird."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
The eldest princess said helplessly: "I had no choice but to do it."
A last resort?
As soon as these words came out, Li Zunxu understood immediately.
My wife is the eldest princess of this dynasty, who can force her to do so?
First of all, it is definitely possible for the Queen Mother to do so.
But how could the Queen Mother expose herself?
Then, there is only one person left!
It's an official!
Thinking of this, Li Zunxu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is really a mistake!
Why has the lady frequently entered the palace recently?
Wasn't it just to seek an official position for him?
"Madam, blame me for this, blame me."
With that said, Li Zunxu stepped forward and held the eldest princess's catkin tightly.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this matter."
In the world, whose son-in-law is the most difficult to be?
Naturally, he is the son-in-law of the emperor’s family!
Not only are the requirements high, but after becoming the consort, the control is even stricter!
Once Shang (marries) a princess, it means that it will be difficult to achieve anything big in the officialdom.
Therefore, most of the princes-in-law in the Song Dynasty were not the eldest sons, but many were the second sons.
In addition, sometimes the prince-in-law will be promoted in seniority.
For example, Li Zunxu, after he became the consort, Zhenzong issued an edict to promote him to the son of Li Chongju.
Who is Li Chongju?
Li Zunxu's grandfather, in this way, Li Zunxu and his father Li Jichang became the same generation.
A son should be like his father and brother. This move can be said to be contrary to human ethics.
Fortunately, the eldest princess of the country of Hebei was well versed in worldly affairs. Although she had this intention, she still performed the ceremony of uncle-in-law as a bride when she got married.
(PS: In the ancient system, the bride called her husband's father uncle, and her husband's mother called aunt. The ceremony of uncle and old uncle is now the ceremony of parents-in-law, which is equivalent to the change of mouth in the wedding)
Not only that, in their married life, the eldest princess still treated Li Zunxu's father as an elder and did not violate the rules at all.
Precisely because the eldest princess respected her enough, their married life was very harmonious and their relationship was excellent.
Unlike other princess consorts, many of them are superficial couples.
(Princess Fukang in the play is a typical case. She died at the age of thirty-three and died of depression. A similar case is the eleventh daughter of Renzong, Princess Yongshou, who died earlier and became depressed at the age of twenty-four.
Becoming ill.
There is also the eldest princess of Wei State, the second daughter of Ying Zong, who died of depression at the age of thirty, and the princess of Tang State of Shenzong, who died of depression at the age of thirty)
In fact, there is another extremely important reason why Li Zunxu and Princess Dachang of Hebei live a harmonious married life.
Over there, Li Zunxu was not very keen on officialdom.
In his early years, in addition to his identity as a scholar, he also had another identity.
Homebody!
He is a disciple of the famous Zen school Linji, which is the most prominent sect of Buddhism in the world. The famous Xikun style poet Yang Yi is also one of the disciples of Linji (lay scholar).
Li Zunxu studied under Yang Yi. In addition to admiring his literary talents, he also had the intention of learning Dharma from him.
In addition, Li Zunxu may not be famous in the eyes of later generations, but one of his descendants has become a household name Zen master.
That is Zen Master Daoji. Compared with Daoji's Buddhist name, his common name is "Jigong".
On the other side, the eldest princess smiled lightly and did not refute, but just held Li Zunxu's hand.
The facts are indeed as Li Zunxu said.
Everything she did was for the future of her family.
Just because Li Zunxu no longer cares about his position does not mean that she no longer cares.
Why do most consorts and princesses have bad relationships?
It's just that the future is gone.
The dynasty absorbed the shortcomings of the previous dynasties and placed great restrictions on the clan, relatives and eunuchs.
Precisely because of the many restrictions established, by the end of the Song Dynasty, there were few cases of foreign relatives, clan members interfering in government affairs, or eunuchs disrupting government affairs.
…
…
…
The next day.
The Queen Mother suddenly issued an edict.
[The first emperor of Jin Dynasty named Shun Rong Li as Shuyi]
Among the concubines, there are fifteen levels of concubine, among which Shuyi is the highest level, and the next higher ones are the second-level concubines.
In the eyes of the courtiers who did not know the inside story, this edict was just an ordinary Jin enfeoffment edict. It was reasonable and reasonable for Li Shunrong to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor and get a certain rank from Jin.
Moreover, there is no leapfrog rank or rank in the Jin Dynasty. (For example, the concubine De, the noble concubine, and the virtuous concubine are all of the first rank, and the concubines are of the fifteenth rank, the first six are the first rank, and the last nine are the second rank)
However, in the eyes of those familiar with the matter, this edict was nothing more than a thunderbolt.
