The emperor and his ministers in Zishan Hall analyzed the situation of the Liao Dynasty clearly during the discussion. Chen Tong beside him was dumbfounded. He would not have thought that there was such a profound meaning in it.
He never imagined that Puhui Company had developed to what it was now and that the officials still knew about it, so Chen Tong looked at Ye An with even more admiration.
But how did he know that Ye An himself had troubles that he couldn't tell. The Puhui Company has developed so much that it has done so much business. It is not only the business in Tokyo, but also plays a decisive role in the foreign trade of the Song Dynasty.
.
The big tree attracts the wind, Zhao Zhenzhong used himself to monitor him all the time, otherwise why would Chen Lin have been living in the Hou Mansion?
It is common for monarchs and ministers to be wary of each other. Ye An and Zhao Zhen knew the rules that had been in place since the Taizu Dynasty and would not break them.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "It seems that there must be a dignified, gentle and knowledgeable woman in the harem as the head of the six palaces! Ye Shizhi thinks who in my harem is the one who has the most honorable mother in the world?
One?!"
"ha?!"
Unexpectedly, the topic returned to the harem of the Song Dynasty. Ye An quickly waved his hand and said: "I know a lot about the official family, but I don't know much about the things in the palace. I don't even want to know. What I am most afraid of is
Dealing with women, having a eldest lady at home..."
"Oh! I remembered it. I heard that another lady has moved into your house, but she is the White Lotus Saint after all. Minister Ye must take good care of her! I wonder if this body..."
Zhao Zhen looked cunning, and Ye An knew without guessing that it was Chen Lin, the old guy, who had informed Zhao Zhen. He reluctantly said, "The officials are aware that there is another hidden reason behind this matter."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "I know that this girl is Fang Linyue, the daughter of Fang Xiaoxian, a pavilion in the southeast tea farm. She accidentally entered the White Lotus Society after her father died. You rescued her. I don't care about this, and I don't blame you.
"
Zhao Zhen didn't blame him at all, but Ye An was very nervous. Being monitored by the emperor at any time was not a comfortable thing. It seemed to be a kind of concern, but this kind of concern was like a ray of light on his back.
situation.
"Empress Dowager Yang is interested in the young lady of the Cao family, Cao Qi's daughter Cao Wan. Your eldest lady has many contacts with noble ladies in Tokyo, I wonder what she is like!"
As expected, Ye An secretly sighed at the astonishing historical trajectory of the Cao family, but he did not intend to stop it. The Cao family was indeed the best choice to be the queen.
"Reporting back to the official family, Empress Dowager Yang's vision is certainly not wrong. My wife often said that Cao Wan is as her name suggests. She has a gentle temperament, is good at poetry and calligraphy, has a lot of wisdom, and understands righteousness. However, her character is quite girlish, with a hint of weirdness.
Elf, can the officials accept this?"
Who is Zhao Zhen? Emperors of the Tian family usually face serious courtiers, and even the beauties in the palace are mostly dignified and observant. When Ye An said this, he felt a little hopeful.
He coughed slightly shyly and said: "Is that true? His ancestor Cao Bin was a famous general who founded the country. The late emperor often said, "The only people in the country who can stand on their own feet and not fall into the family hierarchy are Li Fang and Cao Bin'er."
If I make Cao Wan my queen, the Cao family will definitely do their best to assist me... which is also a bad thing."
In the end, interests have to be involved. Ye An looked at Zhao Zhen with some displeasure and said: "Although the official is an emperor, he still has seven emotions and six desires in his heart. What he loves in his heart is love. If interests are too involved, the love between the emperor and the empress will be inevitable."
damage!"
This was already a serious statement. Zhao Zhen looked at Ye An strangely: "This is not like your temper. When you were a student at Zishan Hall, you often said that emperors are different from ordinary people and should sometimes get rid of distracting thoughts."
"It was a time of crisis and decision-making! It was not a time of ordinary life. Even if an official's family is rich and has countless harems, they should follow the simplest principles. Love between husband and wife will bring peace of mind to the country and the common people will set an example! How to love?
That’s just living the life of an ordinary couple, it’s that simple!”
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully. To be honest, as an emperor, he really doesn't know what love is, because he has never experienced the feeling of being in love. All the concubines in the palace are his, and they can come and go when called.
, and there is more of a gap between him and the post-abolition Guo family.
"If the official family has nothing to do, I will resign."
Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding his head noncommittally, Ye An walked away from Zishan Hall. There is something wrong with the emperor's view of love!
Chen Lin followed up like a shadow, stared at Ye An sideways and said, "Why do you want to plead for the Cao family? She is only eighteen years old, so she is probably not a candidate for the queen."
"No, she is the most suitable! The official issued an edict to Song Shou: "You should seek virtue to correct internal governance." The Cao family is Demen! The Cao family is the only woman who can control the harem. She was born in a general, and Cao
The family is also the home of the famous founder of the country, who dares to offend the Cao family? Moreover, although his character is out of touch, he understands the general principles and understands the righteousness, which will definitely bring stability to the official harem. If the emperor and empress love each other, it will also help the official family.
What’s wrong?!”
Chen Lin's eyes flashed: "You still said you didn't want to interfere in the official election? You also said you didn't want to get involved in the harem affairs?!"
"I come to serve in the Tianzhang Pavilion of the official family. I have the right to give advice. There is no small matter in the Tian family, let alone the establishment of a queen?!"
"Hey, no matter what you say, you are right. You can always find excuses for yourself. Why bother covering it up here?"
Ye An looked at Chen Lin strangely and said, "Are you dissatisfied with me? Why is it so strange today?"
Chen Lin sighed and said: "Your advice today will definitely be spread to the court, and you have a close relationship with the Cao family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole family is a good one. At this time, you are admonishing the government to establish the Cao family."
In the future, what do the civil and military officials of North Korea and China think of you?! Some people are just worried that you have forgotten your original intention of not forming cliques."
At the end, Chen Lin gritted her teeth, while Ye Anfeng said calmly: "It is inevitable not to make friends. I tell the officials truthfully. Does telling the truth count as a friend? Then the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty do not need to make suggestions to the officials. They do not avoid hatred in external actions.
, Do not avoid relatives when you are promoted, this is the sign of not making friends. When the officials dismissed Zhang Shixun, I recommended Lu Yijian to the officials!"
After Ye An said that, he ignored Chen Lin. In fact, he didn't need to ignore it from the beginning, but Chen Lin had known him for many years, so this explanation was more to express dissatisfaction.
Returning to the Imperial City Division, Ye An sent people to Duting Station where the Liao Dynasty envoys were staying to strengthen security. At this time, protecting the Liao Dynasty envoys was not only for their safety, but also to stop people with ulterior motives from inciting relations between the Liao and Song Dynasties.
After doing this, Ye An went home easily. He had a clear conscience and was naturally not afraid of what others would say. The Cao family was originally the best choice to be relatives. After changing from being a general to a relative, the Cao family would gain the longest-lasting wealth.
But you will also lose a lot of things.
Seeing that Chen Lin still looked like that, she could only sigh slightly and said: "You are also an old man in the palace after all. How come you can't even see the clues? You don't even understand the thoughts of the official family? If the Cao family is appointed as the queen, the official family
Not only can you get a virtuous queen, but you can also get a non-threatening Cao family, and you can sleep completely at ease!"
Ye An had already told the secret behind this matter. He still didn't understand that Chen Lin had been hanging around in the palace for so long. He was suddenly startled and looked through the city gate hole to the bustling Nanmen Street. At this time
He was surprised to find that apart from the Cao family, there were only a few famous founding generals.
The Cao family can be said to be the last family of famous generals who founded the country, and it is one of the few generals who are still in charge of the army. If the Cao family is the queen, then no matter what, the generals of the Cao family will become relatives of the Song Dynasty, and the officials can do whatever they want.
It's a piece of cake...
"Does this make sense after thinking about it?! How dare you blame me?!"
