Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 12 Nine Infant Protectorate
Xue Junyou knew about this princess, having heard the little princess mention it before.
Her name is Luo Junzhao, and she is the daughter of the royal concubine. She was named Princess Lingyang after her wedding to the consort.
The power relationship between this princess's mother's family is a bit complicated. The royal concubine is a concubine in the family, and she is not favored in the harem. She is a concubine, and the mother and daughter often receive a lot of looks from the palace.
But her uncle became more and more successful in Dongzhou. Even during the Dongming Rebellion, he was awarded the position of marquis for his meritorious service in repelling the enemy, and was named Dongling Marquis.
King Yun and Hua Qi are comparable to the feudal princes.
The strange thing is that her uncle never seemed to have a good relationship with her mother and daughter. It was not until one month after the wedding of Princess Lingyang and the second prince-in-law that the Marquis of Dongling wrote to His Majesty, begging for your Majesty's gift.
She opened the palace and got the title of Princess Lingyang.
Xue Junyou smiled with a smile on her face and said to the little princess beside her, "Does she have a grudge against you?"
Luo Junyue also had a smile on her face: "Who told you to speak so nicely? If it were me, I would also want to continue listening."
Xue Junyou's face was full of happiness, and his eyes were full of rejection: "I tried my best to arrange it, but you can't let me die from exhaustion, right?"
"Nine Consorts?" Seeing the young couple whispering, Queen Lin asked aloud: "But what's the secret? Could it be that you two had a quarrel?"
"There is no queen! The emperor and his wife are fine!" Luo Junyue pushed Xue Junyou away and responded.
Xue Junyou gritted his teeth, but he had an arrow on the string and had to fire it. He had no choice but to steal the poems and sentences of talented scholars from the treasure house of five thousand years of Chinese knowledge in his previous life, like the Nan'an Poetry Society did.
Thinking in his mind, Xue Junyou knelt down and bowed, and asked for instructions in a serious manner: "The poems I wrote that day were not poems but poems. They were mostly desolate and sad, which is not suitable for today's occasion. But since Princess Lingyang said so,
That humble minister has made a fool of himself, and if it’s not good, I hope your Majesty will forgive me.”
"I forgive you." Queen Lin smiled gently.
Xue Junyou nodded, frowned and thought for a while, then recited:
"The chilling cicadas are mournful. It's late in the pavilion, and the shower has just stopped. I'm drinking in the tents of the capital without any thoughts. I'm nostalgic, and the orchid boat is urging me to leave. Holding hands and looking at each other's tearful eyes, I'm speechless and choked. Thinking about it, thousands of miles of smoke waves, the dusk is heavy and the sky is vast.
.
Since ancient times, sentimental feelings have been saddened by farewell, and it is even more embarrassing to neglect the Qingqiu Festival! Where can I wake up tonight? Willow bank, dawn wind and waning moon. When this time passes, it should be a good time and beautiful scenery. Even if there are thousands of customs, who can I tell them?"
After chanting, Luo Junyue, who was blushing at first, just felt her heart sink. Sure enough, this man had a lover.
Luo Junyue lowered her head, but Queen Lin was filled with relief and nodded in approval: "That's right. This word is full of feelings of separation, frustration, and parting with the lover... It's just that in this city,
Qingqiu Festival, I know it means the gate of the imperial capital and the Double Ninth Festival, so where is this vast Chutian?"
Xue Junyou subconsciously glanced at the little princess, wanting her to help solve the problem, but saw that she no longer smiled like before, so he thought and replied: "It is an imaginary sky far away in the horizon, and it is also a sky in the heart that is close in front of you.
.It is just like the sad clouds of parting, deep and vast, with no end in sight.”
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting she becomes. Queen Lin nodded happily: "Anyang can have a husband like you, my sister Gongsun, who died early, is also happy."
After saying that, Queen Lin turned her eyes to Luo Junyue. Seeing that her smile was gone, she just lowered her head. She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, feeling a pity in her heart: "Look at me, what are you talking about on such a big day?
Sister Gongsun, Anyang, are you okay?"
Luo Junyue shook her head with tears in her eyes.
The rain splashes the pear blossoms, and the fairy sheds tears.
For some reason, Xue Junyou felt uncomfortable seeing this. Sure enough, there is some family affection that cannot be replaced by an adoptive mother, so he handed over the gift and added a line without authorization, saying righteously:
"Empress, although I grew up in a merchant's family, in the eyes of outsiders, merchants are profit-oriented, immoral and incompetent. But I left home when I was young and felt that my life was dusty and dust-free. However! When I returned to the imperial capital to join the army, I was lucky to have the princess.
With all my love, I hereby swear to the Queen that I dare not expect to be loved by the princess in this life, but I hope that I can protect her throughout my life with my martial arts skills!"
When the queen heard her voice, it was sonorous and powerful, and she was filled with emotion in her heart. She raised her sleeves and said: "Excuse me, Anyang has been raised by my side since she was a child. I treat her as my own child. Since you have become her husband."
Son-in-law, please call me your mother and queen together with her from now on."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xue Junyou opened his mouth to express his gratitude.
After saying that, Xue Junyou turned to look at Luo Junyue with a smile and said: "How is it, not bad?"
Luo Junyue nodded and said in a clear tone: "It's a good performance."
After chatting for a few more words, as the drums sounded outside, it was announced that the good time had arrived, and the nine dishes given by His Majesty were also served. The princes and relatives who were sitting at ease finally became popular and began to use their chopsticks.
... ... ...
The drumming stopped.
Inside the side hall of Enhua Palace.
Luo Yexuan had just come back from the main hall, with a face that had never been defeated and a happy look on his face. His hands, stained with an unknown amount of blood, didn't know where to put them for a moment.
As the most powerful man in the empire, as the most revered emperor in the world, he was not born so terrifying, nor was he so tall and rugged.
He is thin and has gray hair on his temples. Although he looks like an eagle and a wolf, he also has a majestic and majestic appearance, especially his eyebrows, which are sharp and fierce, hiding a look of disdain for the world.
There was no one else in the side hall, not even the father-in-law. There was only a handsome man wearing a green suit holding a folding fan. This man could not tell his true age, but he was personable.
This is the side hall of Enhua Palace, the queen's residence, and the harem's boudoir. Those who are allowed to enter, even just once, are definitely the emperor's confidants.
And this man is the Yinxinhou, Nalan Yanhua, who is feared by all officials and never dares to speak.
The title of Marquis of Yinxin was not given by Luo Yexuan, it was a title granted by Taizu. Only the three famous families of the Entropy Kingdom who conquered thousands of miles for Taizu and dominated the world are worthy of inheriting this title that will last for thousands of years.
When it came to Luo Yexuan's generation, the Yinxinhou family, which was known for its uncanny military skills, was given an unprecedented official position - the capital doctor of the Jiuying Protectorate.
This name is taken from a ferocious beast in the myth of Entropy Kingdom. It is a water and fire monster. It can spit out water and fire. It looks like an ox body and a snake tail. It sounds like a baby crying. It has nine songs, so it is called Jiuying. In the folk of Entropy Kingdom,
This object is also used to describe evil and cruel people.
The pattern of Jiuying Duhu Mansion uses these evil objects. The state of Entropy has implemented the system of three ministers and five ministries since ancient times. The three ministers refer to the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the censor. The five ministries are officials, households, rituals, punishments, and workers.
The Jiuying Protectorate is not subject to the control of the Three Dukes, and is not a hundred officials. It is directly under the emperor. It belongs to a newly created censorship organization. They not only have the same powers as the censors to supervise the officials, but even have independent investigative powers.
Behead first and then use the power of lynching.
It was precisely because of them that the emperor of the current dynasty was able to eliminate all the deep-rooted families one by one in just more than ten years, provide high-quality thresholds for students from poor families to take the scientific examinations and become officials, and also send batches of people to the court.
batch of talented people.
But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The existence of the Nine Infants Protectorate has indeed made a qualitative leap in the fairness and justice of the Entropy Kingdom. However, the disadvantages are not small. Its power is too great. Now in the hands of His Majesty, they
It's a loyal dog.
But if the next generation and the next generation of emperors do not have the wisdom and prowess of His Majesty the current emperor, will these loyal dogs still be so-called loyal dogs?
