Chapter 1661 Queen Song: Now is the best situation!
Shenjing, Songzhai
After the Song brothers bid farewell to the eunuch who was delivering the decree in the palace, Song Jing and Song Xuan sat down again and talked about the situation in the court.
Song Xuan said: "Brother, Ziyu is indeed what you and I thought before."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current cabinet is just a mouthpiece for Jia Heng, and the so-called will is just Jia Heng's will.
This undoubtedly shows Jia Heng’s attitude.
Song Jing twirled his beard under his chin with his hand and said: "Now that Luo'er has won a big position, both in the government and in the public, he is in charge of the young country, and we are both relatives. It is time for us to join forces vertically and horizontally to overcome the difficulties together."
Song Xuan nodded and said, "After all, you, Ziyu and I can be considered a family."
Song Jing shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said: "It's not that simple. Zi Yu's move also calmed the suspicions of civil servants. Although Zi Yu has taken control of the court, civil servants like Li Xu still may not be convinced.
.”
Song Xuan frowned, then relaxed, and suddenly asked: "Yan'er has been here for a few years, why is there no movement in her stomach?"
Song Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know the whole story. Zi Yuyuan had a hard time having heirs. Maybe he could have waited a little longer. Wasn't that the case when he came to Xianning?"
After Princess Xianning married Jia Heng, she also had no children for several years.
Song Xuan looked solemn and said, "Let's not talk about this for now."
It's indeed a little outrageous for two grown men to discuss their niece-in-law's sexual relationship.
Song Jing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked: "The fourth brother is now the governor of Jingzhao. How do you plan to govern the land of Jingzhao?"
Song Xuan showed a thoughtful look on his face and said: "I will start with the public security in the capital. Since the 20th year of Chongping, villains in the capital have repeatedly done evil and disturbed the country. After I take over the Jingzhao Mansion, I will
The perpetrators will be severely punished."
Song Jing said: "The capital city has indeed been chaotic in the past two years, and it needs to control public security."
Song Xuan whispered: "My brother went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve as a doctor in the Department of Kuaiji, and now he has been entrusted with an important position."
Song Jing's face did not show much lightness, and she said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is Jia Ziyu's private residence. In fact, I think it is better to go out and serve as an official in the local area, benefiting the country, and flexing my muscles."
Song Xuan heard this and said with emotion: "As a local official who is close to the people, I know the sufferings of the people and can do some practical things for the people."
Song Jing nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
As the two brothers of the Song family talked, the dullness in their hearts due to the deposed kings of Wei and Liang and the marginalization of the Song family's relatives was almost completely gone.
…
…
Time flies like an arrow, and years fly by. In the blink of an eye, it has entered the middle of winter in the first year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty.
As time went by, the counter-case between Xu and Li gradually came to an end. This counter-case involved many officials in the capital and was involved. For this reason, many officials from the six ministries, offices and bureaus were imprisoned.
The sky was gloomy, and a heavy snow fell on the land in Guanzhong. The sky and the earth were covered in silver, and everything in sight was white.
Shenjing City, Fu's House
The mansion with its carved beams and painted beams stood quietly, and on the vast and spacious street, a carriage with its shaft upright could be seen passing quietly, leaving a deep rut mark on the snow.
A servant approached the carriage, lifted up the hanging curtain of the carriage, and then helped Fu Shi down, followed by Fu Shi's wife.
"Sir." At this moment, a servant quickly walked closer and whispered.
"Is the lady back?" Fu Shi asked.
"I heard that the master is returning to Beijing today, and the young lady came here early in the morning." The servant said with a smile.
Fu pilot nodded, with a serious and solemn look on his face, and said: "Go to the mansion first."
At this moment, in the flower hall of Fu's house, Fu Qiufang was warming up by the fire, and the blue and white porcelain tea cup next to her was steaming.
Fu Qiufang heard the footsteps outside, stood up, looked outside, and said, "Brother, are you back?"
Fu Shi smiled and said, "Qiu Fang, long time no see."
At this moment, looking at his sister, Fu Shi felt a variety of emotions in his heart.
It's been several years and you haven't gotten married yet?
Fu Qiufang also had a look of emotion on her face and said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for three or four years."
As he spoke, Fu Shi had a calm expression on his face. He came to sit on a pearwood chair and asked, "Qiu Fang, how many years have passed since you were at the eldest princess's residence. How are you doing?"
"
Fu Qiufang said: "The eldest princess takes good care of me, and there is nothing else."
Fu Dian nodded and asked: "That's fine, then you and the prince..."
At this moment, Fu Qiufang's heart was filled with endless shame and anger, and she quickly interrupted Fu Shi's words and said, "What are you talking about, brother?"
Fu Shizhi's wife had a huge smile on her face, nodded, and said: "Qiu Fang, I'm not telling you, you are already old enough, and it's time to marry someone else. You are in the eldest princess's house, and King Wei
Don’t you have any intention?”
Fu Qiufang's white and greasy face was surrounded by dense clouds of red clouds, bright and moving, and said: "Brother, why did King Wei ever have any interest in me?"
Given King Wei's reputation for being lecherous and romantic, she had never seen him come to look for her at the eldest princess's residence.
When Fu Shi heard this, he worriedly asked: "What should we do?"
Fu Qiufang quickly changed the subject and asked: "Brother, is he returning to Beijing this time?"
Fu Shi said: "This time it is the official document, which plans to transfer me to the position of governor of Henan."
Meng Jinwen, the former Governor of Henan and Deputy Chief Envoy of Henan, has been promoted to Chief Envoy of Henan, so the official position of Henan Governor has naturally become vacant.
Fu Shi's wife smiled and said, "I am from King Wei. Now King Wei is in charge of the government, and there is no talk of me seeking an official position in the capital."
Fu Shi's expression suddenly changed, and Shen He interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty asked me to move around in different places, and I will definitely have another appointment in the future."
Hearing this, Fu Shi's wife couldn't help but shut her mouth angrily.
As Fu Shiguan's son grew bigger and bigger, Fu Shiguan's wife became more and more in awe of him.
Fu Dian nodded, looked at Fu Qiufang, and asked: "Qiu Fang, how are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Fu Qiufang said: "Brother, everything is fine with the prince."
A look of thought appeared on Fu Shi's face, and he said: "I'm going to pay a visit later to listen to the prince's instructions on Henan affairs."
Fu Qiufang said: "Since my brother came to Xinyang Prefecture, Henan Province to help the people and stabilize the country, his performance evaluation has not been said to be excellent, but he has been selected as the best. Now he has moved to Henan Prefecture as the prefect, and it is natural."
Fu Shi said: "In the past two years, I have just followed Xiao Gui and Cao Cao. I was also lucky enough to listen to King Wei's teachings."
Fu Qiufang frowned and said, "Brother, King Wei is not here. When King Wei is here, it will not be too late for me to say these words of loyalty."
When Fu Shi heard this, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face.
Fu Shi's wife squeezed out a faint smile on her fair face and said, "Qiu Fang, why are you talking like this? King Wei is a great benefactor of our Fu family."
Fu Qiufang's voice was as clear as gold and stone, and she said: "King Wei has always been a man of character, upright and upright. What's more, he wants to see his brother serve as an official and benefit the whole country."
Fu pilot nodded and said: "What Qiu Fang said is true. What King Wei needs are capable ministers and officials."
Fu Qiufang asked casually: "Brother, how has Henan's governance been in recent years?"
Fu Shi put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Since the Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding came to Henan, Henan has strictly implemented the new policies of the court to protect the environment and the people. Today, Henan is prosperous without picking up lost things on the road, without closing the door at night."
Fu Qiufang asked: "How is Peng Ye, the current governor of Henan, like?"
Fu Shi was silent for a while and said: "Although this man is a member of the Qi Party, he has been conscientious and dedicated to the public affairs since he took over the Henan Xinjiang Seal."
Although Peng Ye repeatedly opposed Jia Heng back then, after he was promoted to governor of Henan, he knew that King Wei was powerful and did not dare to let him take control of him.
Fu Qiufang nodded and said: "Now that King Wei is in full control of the government, Peng Ye's official hat can be easily removed."
Fu Shi said: "I was about to ask you. I'm at a local level and I don't know anything about the affairs of the central government. The new emperor has been deposed twice and many courtiers have been imprisoned. What's going on?"
Fu Qiufang shook his head and said: "I am also looking at things in the fog, but no matter how many times he is deposed, King Wei will undoubtedly be the beneficiary."
Could he not be the beneficiary? From then on, he took over the power and became the hidden emperor without any constraints.
He supported Guangzong's son for the first time and perfectly performed the role of Chen Han's loyal minister.
For the second time, he supported the young master and became the king of auxiliary government.
Fu Shi couldn't hide the joy on his face and said: "Yes, forget about this. Now that King Wei is in charge of the country, it is the time for us to work hard and make a difference. Maybe we can hope to become a feudal official or even a nine-level minister in this life."
Fu Qiufang glanced at Fu Shi and said secretly, Jiu Qing is hard to say, but Liu Bu Shilang may be really possible.
On the other side, Fu Shi's wife listened to what Fu Shi said, and her face was even grinning from ear to ear.
Then, the Fu brothers and sisters started to eat.
In other words, since Jia Heng assisted the government, it can be said that one person has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven.

Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
Today is the day after the new king succeeds to the throne, the day of Yuan Shuo, when ministers are convened at the Great Court Meeting to discuss state affairs.
On a golden chair with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, Chen Luo wore a light yellow woven dragon robe, and his fair face was full of curiosity.
Beside the screen on the west side, behind the hanging beaded curtains, the Empress of the Song Dynasty is wearing a golden crown with phoenix wings, and the exquisitely woven palace clothes on her body are gorgeous and bright under the sunlight. The shining golden hairpin reflects a fragrant jade.
Skin-skinned face.
At this moment, Jia Heng put on a black and red satin python suit, held a flawless ivory jade wat in his hand, and stood in the first row of courtiers with a resolute face.
The soft and pleasant voice of the Queen of Song Dynasty sounded: "Everyone is safe."
"I will thank you, Your Majesty."
All the ministers in the palace responded in unison, but it was inevitable that they felt a little weird.
In just one year, there were two different queen mothers who listened to politics behind the curtain.
Empress Song's clear voice sounded again, saying: "The new monarch is just practicing the country, and he is in charge of the young country. There are many things waiting to be done. I still need to rely on the ministers and the king of Wei to make plans and assist, so that we can create a peaceful and prosperous age together."
As she said that, through the hanging bead curtain, the beauty cast her gaze at the young man in python suit standing in the front row, and an uncontrollable joy surged in his soft and beautiful eyes.
Now is the best situation!
Her son succeeded to the throne, and she was the queen mother who listened to the government behind the curtain, while the little fox was the assistant king.
After all, Empress Song could not suppress the joy in her heart and called out: "King Wei."
Jia Heng's face was solemn, he cupped his fists and said, "Wei Chen is here."
Empress Song said: "Your Majesty is already in your prime, and you still need a master who knows how to teach your Majesty the art, culture and martial arts. Since King Wei is the Grand Master, he should teach your Majesty more."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "Literary affairs are not Wei Chen's specialty. Wei Chen recommended Lin Ruhai, a scholar in the cabinet who is proficient in the Five Classics, to be your Majesty's teacher."
Lin Ruhai was on the train of cabinet ministers. Hearing this, he looked at Jia Heng in the distance and felt confused for a moment, but soon regained his composure.
Under the slender eyebrows, Empress Song looked at Lin Ruhai with her narrow, clear phoenix eyes like dew, and said: "Then I will have Lin Ruhai, a great scholar with the title of Grand Tutor, teach His Majesty the knowledge of classics and meanings."
"I thank you, my dearest empress." Lin Ruhai, who had undergone plastic surgery to reduce her appearance, held an ivory jade wat in her hand, quickly walked out of the courtroom, bowed to Empress Song and said.
After that, the autumn grain matters were discussed in the palace, and it was not until nearly noon that the Empress of Song announced that the ministers below were dispersing.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he left Hanyuan Hall and headed towards the back hall.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Empress Song, surrounded by female officials and nuns, supported Chen Luo and sat down on a bed near the carved window.
Under the emerald willow brows, Queen Song's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered: "Luo'er, you have to study hard recently."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Chen Luo said sharply.
At this moment, the female official quickly entered the palace and said, "My dear, King Wei is asking for an audience outside the palace."
When Empress Song heard this, her face as white as snow turned red and she said, "Xuan."
After a while, Jia Heng was seen wearing a black and red satin python suit. He had a heroic and tall figure. Under the sunlight of early winter, his resolute and calm face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of sunlight.
Jia Heng said: "I have seen the empress. She is a thousand years old."
Queen Song said: "Come here?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Come and see you and Luo'er."
"Brother-in-law." Chen Luo put down the brush in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes that resembled Jia Heng's were full of heroic spirit, and his voice was clear and loud.
Under her plump willow eyebrows, Empress Song's long, narrow, clear and beautiful eyes were soft and slightly moist, and she said: "I and Luo'er behaved quite decently in the court today."
She still doesn't know how many years this bastard will let Luoer be emperor.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Empress Song with twinkling eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm quite decent today."
The Empress of Song Dynasty, with her willow eyebrows as curved as a crescent moon, stared at the young man in python suit and said, "After the Yuan Dynasty changes next year, will the court still operate like this?"
Jia Heng said: "Next spring will bring a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. I will introduce a new policy to carry forward the Chongping New Deal and open up the future."
Empress Song frowned her emerald eyebrows and said worriedly: "People say that my father has not changed his ways for three years. I think it is better to be quiet and not to move."
The political situation in the imperial court had been turbulent before, but now it had finally settled down. She felt that it was not advisable to engage in a major war.
Jia Heng said: "It's not a big move, it's just that we should implement the new policy as usual."
Empress Song nodded and said, "Just use your own discretion."
As he said that, he looked at the female official standing by and said, "Come here, go and pass the lunch."
The female officer responded, turned and left.
Jia Heng said: "Song Jing and Song Xuan have now entered the court as officials."
The Empress of Song Dynasty, with her eyebrows as dark as daisy, could not hide the joy in her beautiful eyes, said: "I saw my fourth brother today."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "He will have to practice for a few more years in a complicated place like the capital, and then he will not be in a hurry when he comes to Japan to release his ministers."
Because Chen Luo was right in front of her, he, as his "brother-in-law", could not hug his mother-in-law and have sex.
The Empress of Song Dynasty showed a thoughtful look on her face and said: "My fourth brother has a good conduct. If he can work harder, he will become a famous minister in the future and his name will go down in history."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "In a few days, prepare a family banquet in the palace, ask Xianning, Yan'er and Chanyue to come over, and we can get together in the palace."
Under Empress Song's emerald willow eyebrows, her pair of narrow, charming eyes showed her charm flowing silently, and she whispered: "That's good."
Then, a tall female official entered the palace with graceful steps and said, "Your Majesty, the food is ready."
Queen Song responded, looked at Jia Heng aside, and said, "Let's eat."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he sat down with Empress Song, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and began to use the food.
In the afternoon, Jia Heng left the palace and walked quickly towards the Princess Jinyang's mansion.
…

Jinyang Princess Mansion
The eldest princess of Jinyang is playing chess with Yuan Chun at the moment. Not far away, Lianxue is serving tea.
Princess Jinyang put down a chess piece and asked, "What did your family say when you went home the day before yesterday?"
Yuan Chun licked her pink lips and said, "My family didn't say anything."
Princess Jinyang's soft and graceful eyebrows seemed to be smiling, and she asked with interest: "Didn't your mother say anything?"
Yuan Chun shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything. Brother Heng and my mother talked for a while, and nothing happened after that."
Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "So that's it."
I'm just afraid of promising something again.
At this moment, a female official quickly entered the hall and reported: "Your Highness, King Wei is here."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, her beautiful face couldn't help but be startled, and said: "He is here."
After a while, the boy in python suit walked around a screen embroidered with splendid mountains and rivers from the outside and entered the hall.
Princess Jinyang looked at Jia Heng and said, "I'm back from the previous court."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm back."
Then, looking at Yuanchun and Lianxue on the side, he asked with a smile: "Why don't you meet the festival?"
Under her slender eyebrows, the eldest princess of Jinyang glared at Jia Heng with her beautiful eyes and said, "It's not my fault that I said you don't pay attention to the festival. Not long before the festival, you went to school to study and practice calligraphy."
Jia Heng nodded, sat down, took the tea cup, and took a sip.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man in the python suit with warm eyes and said, "Qiu Fang's brother has returned to Beijing. She went to look for her brother."
"Fu Shi?" Jia Heng's eyes flickered and he said, "Fu Shi has been an official in Xinyang Prefecture for two terms. It's time for him to be transferred."
Under the slender and curved eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her crystal clear beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "Qiu Fang has been in the mansion for several years. If you are interested, you don't want to drag me with you anymore.
"
Yuan Chun responded softly, listening to the couple's conversation on the side, and secretly thought that Brother Heng was taking the girl into the back house again.
Hearing this, Jia Heng said, "I'm not holding her back. After all, it depends on what she thinks."
Princess Jinyang whispered: "She is a woman after all."
Jia Heng put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup and remained silent for a while.
I remember that when he was in Chongping for fourteen years, Fu Qiufang was almost twenty years old. Seven or eight years later, Fu Qiufang was already almost thirty. She was really an older leftover girl.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Jia Heng affectionately with her beautiful eyes, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What was discussed in the meeting today?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "There's nothing to discuss. I've found a teacher for Luo'er. There's nothing else."
Princess Jinyang's fair and beautiful face said thoughtfully: "Finding a teacher for the emperor is a big deal, and you need to choose carefully."
Jia Heng said: "Uncle Lin has been asked to teach Luo Er knowledge."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Lin Ruhai is the best choice for moral knowledge. It is appropriate for him to teach Luo'er."
Jia Heng nodded, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip, but his mind was thinking about the court situation and the Qiande New Deal after next spring.
