When Xu said this, Qiao Yuyan suddenly remembered.
But no, it has been so long since the funeral of the late emperor has been completed, but the posthumous title has not been decided yet!
She thought for a while, and sure enough, after the national mourning, there was the enthronement ceremony, and then there were the funerals of Princess Jiahe, the first five princes, and the two concubines in the palace.
Almost immediately after that, I learned how to try.
The National Examination is a national examination, and candidates from all over the country have to go to Beijing to take the exam.
In previous years, there were fixed rules. Generally, as soon as the results were released in autumn, the candidates from various places would be organized to go to Beijing. Those who were far away would spend the New Year in Beijing.
But in such a short period of time this year, it is a hurried matter all over the country. I am afraid that the academic and prefecture offices everywhere are extremely busy.
Under such circumstances, not many people can recall the late emperor's posthumous title.
Although the matter of posthumous title assessment will eventually fall on the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites will take the lead!
Qiao Yuyan used to not pay attention to court and political affairs, but after the previous events, she clearly understood how terrible her ignorance was.
During this period, whenever Wen Tingyuan was free, she would probably ask about relevant matters when they chatted.
In addition, she has nothing to do in the house now and has a lot of free time. She has abandoned all her previous hobbies. She searched for many books in Wen Tingyuan's study and read them, and she learned a lot that she didn't know before.
things.
The posthumous title of the late emperor seems to be just a small matter in name, but in fact, if it goes wrong, it will be a big case that breaks the bones.
Earlier, Emperor Sejong had many court officials beaten to death in front of a large ceremony, which directly caused turmoil in the court.
Qiao Yuyan was very clear about the current emperor's hatred for the late emperor. He even disposed of the late emperor's body in a rebellious manner and was unwilling to let him enjoy the incense of the royal family.
How could you be willing to give him a good posthumous title now?
But today's situation is different from that of Emperor Sejong. At that time, from top to bottom in the royal family, Emperor Sejong had no choice as heir. It could be said that everyone across the country, both inside and outside the court, was begging for him to be the emperor.
This is where such a tragic murder occurred.
Change to the current situation...
Seeing the ugly expression on her daughter's face, Mrs. Xu knew that she had figured out the key, and couldn't help but sigh, "Your father is worried that I have too many things on my mind, and he doesn't want to talk too much to me.
But I am not a fool. At this time, Mr. Jiao is resigning. As a person who has been in the officialdom for thirty or forty years, he knows that this pool of water cannot flow, but your father cannot get out."
Regarding the posthumous title of the late emperor, I am afraid there will be a real turmoil.
Qiao Yuyan thought for a moment and comforted Mrs. Xu first, "Don't worry too much, mother. After all, my father has been an official for so many years. Naturally, he knows more about the rules of survival in the officialdom than we do. Since he won't tell you, I'm afraid.
Not only is he worried about you, maybe he also has a plan."
When Mrs. Xu saw her daughter say this, she felt a little more at ease. She was about to say something more, but suddenly she thought that her son-in-law was in the examination room. She was afraid that her daughter would be under great pressure, so she stopped talking about this topic to prevent her from becoming more worried.
"Your grandmother has been talking about you for the past two days. She is also awake at this time. I will go with you."
The mother and daughter had just walked to the door of Ninghe Hall when they heard the voice of the old lady in the house, "Didn't I just say that my eldest aunt was back? Why haven't you seen any movement ahead?"
Aunt Zhao happened to come out at the door. As soon as she saw Qiao Yuyan, she smiled and said: "Our aunt really has a close connection with our old lady, so she is talking about it! She came over, so it can be seen that she was talked about by the old lady."
Qiao Yuyan walked in quickly, and the old lady happened to be walking out of the inner room. When she saw her, she beamed and said, "Looking at you, your husband is not nervous when he takes the exam?"
"Hey, there's nothing to be nervous about," Qiao Yuyan waved her hand, "He will definitely win."
The old lady was happy when she heard it, but she said: "Look at how crazy you are. We can just talk about this in our own house. If it spreads, I'm afraid people will laugh at you."
While talking to the old lady, Qiao Yuyan helped her back and combed her hair herself.
This time, it seems like I have returned to the time before I came out of the cabinet.
"I heard that the eldest sister is here? I went to the second door specially, but I missed it."
There was a lot of excitement here, and Qiao Yurong's voice came from outside the door.
"Rong'er!" Qiao Yuyan quickly greeted her.
For a time, the entire Ninghe Hall was filled with laughter and laughter.
After the matter was settled, Qiao Yuyan only went back to her parents' home once. But at that time, all the houses were in a rush, so they came and went in a hurry, and they didn't bother to say much. At best, they just made sure each other was safe.
Now that all the girls were together, Qiao Yuyan asked: "I didn't have time to ask before, how did our family get involved with the Jin Yiwei? That day when I came, the Jin Yiwei was guarding the door. It didn't look like they were holding our family hostage, but they were.
It was somewhat protective, and when I told Zingyuan about it later, even he couldn't figure out the connection."
This is indeed something that Qiao Yuyan is wondering about.
Moreover, Zhao Jinghai had not found a chance to thank him properly for doing such a big favor for her, and he still couldn't let go of it.
Although I learned from Mrs. Wen that the Wen family and the Zhao family did have some twists and turns, this relationship was actually not close. With this relationship, Zhao Jinghai really wouldn't want to help her like that.
.
In addition, there is the relationship between the current emperor and the emperor. Wen Tingyuan admitted that Zhao Jinghai had some contact with them at the beginning, but this contact was in the dark, and it still did not make sense based on this relationship.
What's more, Qiao Yuyan is still thinking about what he said at that time, asking Qiao Yuyan to agree to a condition.
As the leader of the Jin Yiwei, who is most feared by the official family, his words and deeds will naturally not be without aim, so Qiao Yuyan can't help but worry.
After thinking about it, I thought of the guards in golden uniforms guarding the door of Qiao's house.
That's why I took advantage of today's opportunity to ask.
But what Qiao Yuyan didn't expect was that after she asked this question, the atmosphere in Ninghe Hall suddenly became a little strange.
The old lady and Mrs. Xu suddenly fell silent, and Qiao Yurong stood up and said: "Oh, even the maid on my grandmother's side is too lazy. She made tea cakes just yesterday and didn't know how to serve them to the eldest sister.
Come here, elder sister loves this the most."
She didn't speak, and Qiao Yuyan hadn't noticed her yet. When he heard her being so polite and wanted to tell her not to be busy, he realized something was wrong, "Rong'er, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you blushing like this?"
