I returned the Lin family elder order to Xie Daolin and told him in detail what happened to the Lin family in Fuzhou.
Xie Daolin accepted the elder's order and said gratefully: "I originally wanted the Lin family to help your majesty, but I didn't expect that your majesty saved the Lin family's crisis. I thank your majesty for your kindness, and I also thank your majesty again on behalf of the Lin family."
"Thank you, Aiqing. You and I are one family, and we are connected because of the Lin family. It's just a little effort. I don't need to say thank you, Aiqing."
"Your Majesty, how can I not thank you for such a great favor? I didn't expect that Ji Henlei was really amazing. The masked man he invited was so awesome. Thanks to your Majesty and Mr. Yuan for helping me this time, I would like to ask your Majesty to thank Mr. Yuan on your behalf."
."
Xie Daolinyi came from the Lin family, and his martial arts skills are slightly better than the current head of the Lin family and another elder. In the past ten years, he has been claiming to be the best master in the capital. Although he has more than enough respect for Yuan Ji, who comes from the Imperial Valley, he has always had
Rather than competing for victory, after listening to my account, Xie Daolin knew that his martial arts skills were not even as good as that of the masked man, let alone Yuan Ji who was still above the masked man. In addition, he was grateful to Yuan Ji for standing up for the Lin family.
, naturally there is no longer any desire to win.
"With Mr. Yuan by the official's side, the queen mother is very relieved."
Xie Daolin agreed: "Well, Mr. Yuan's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and he can protect your majesty."
Xie Daoqing nodded slightly and said, "Guan family, how are things going on Fujian Road?"
"Mother, listen to the child and tell me slowly."
I recounted my experience in Fuzhou, even when I appeared as Mr. Huyan of Shifeng Trading Company, and finally said: "Mother, the child thinks that this treatment is relatively peaceful. What does the mother think?"
Xie Daoqing did not answer but asked instead: "Why didn't the officials deal with Chen Xinshu in the end?"
I didn’t tell the Queen Mother that I wanted to take back Chen Xinshu, but I just explained, “Mother, since I came to the throne, I have basically understood the current situation of the officialdom in our court. The officialdom is so bad and corrupt, even if Chen Xinshu is removed, in this environment, it will still be difficult.
Zhang Xinshu and Wang Xinshu will appear, so I will give him a chance to repent, and will use the Supervisory Office and Nanya to supervise officials in various places, so as to change the official environment of our dynasty. Only when the general environment is clean can we achieve peace once and for all.
."
Quanjiu arrived at Ningkun Palace early in the afternoon and told Xie Daoqing about the Supervisory Office and Nanya.
The more Xie Daoqing listened, the more surprised his face became. After listening, he stared at me with his eyes and said for a long time: "Guan Jia, you have grown up." After saying that, two tears suddenly flowed down his face.
This made Xie Daolin and Quanjiu and I a little confused. "Queen Mother, what are you..." Quanjiu asked in a low voice.
Xie Daoqing wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, the official family, my mother is so happy, she has finally waited for this day."
I don't understand what Xie Daoqing means. What does it mean to wait until this day?
Xie Daoqing waved his hand and signaled all the maids to leave. He seemed to have recalled something and said to me after a moment: "Guan family, the late emperor had a long conversation with me alone all night before his death. Today, my mother will tell you the late emperor's message."
"The late Emperor left a message?"
"Yes." Xie Daoqing said with some sadness, "The late emperor said that he originally belonged to the lineage of Yan Wang Dezhao, the son of Taizu. When it was passed down to his father Zhao Xiwen, he was already very alienated from the blood relationship with the Qin Wang Defang lineage of the royal family at that time.
Moreover, the family had already declined and lost its title. During the reign of Emperor Ning Zong, the princes died one after another. Ning Zong established Zhao Guihe, the son of his younger brother Yi Wang Zhaoluan, as the prince, but Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the court at that time,
It was because he disliked Zhao Guihe so much that he found the late emperor. Finally, with the support of Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang, the late emperor ascended the throne. After the late emperor won the throne, he naturally wanted to do something to show that he was more noble than Zhao.
He was more capable of reviving the Song Dynasty. He was diligent and studious, worked hard in the cold and summer, and was very diligent in politics. He also recruited talents, rectified the administration of officials, and proposed some rectification measures in various aspects. However, the power at that time was in the hands of Shi Miyuan and Yang
In the hands of the empress, the late emperor had no choice but to hide his power and bide his time. After Shi Miyuan's death, the late emperor adopted a series of reform measures in various aspects of government, economy, military, culture, etc. The situation in the DPRK was improved for a time, and the late emperor became ambitious and attempted the Northern Expedition.
, to return to his hometown, but later encountered various situations. Our soldiers were attacked by Mongolia and lacked food and grass, and finally failed. From then on, the late emperor lost his original spirit of diligent government and became obsessed with Neo-Confucianism.
, neglected political affairs, and traitors were everywhere in the court. When the late emperor reacted, it was already difficult to recover, so the late emperor placed all his hopes on the officials."
After Xie Daoqing rested for a while, he continued: "However, the performance of the Guan family has always been unsatisfactory. Except for the late emperor, no one thought that the Guan family could become a great power in the future. Even my mother, I was not optimistic about the Guan family at that time."
I apologized on behalf of the prince Zhao Fu and said, "I have made my mother worry so much."
At that time, Zhao Fu was indeed an incompetent person. However, no matter how smart Xie Daoqing was, he would never have imagined that Zhao Fu and I were two different people.
"That night, the late emperor left a message saying that the emperor is a dragon hiding in the abyss, and sooner or later, it will fly into the sky. I left two treasures for Zhao Fu's son. One is Zhao Fu's martial arts professor, Mr. Yuan Jiyuan;
Yuan Ji comes from the Valley of the Kings and has invincible martial arts, which can protect Zhao Fu's life. Secondly, I have one hundred thousand taels of gold hidden in Hongqiao, Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, where I was born. If one day Zhao Fu's child can control the dragon and ascend to heaven,
Open this gold treasure house to help the emperor control the dragon. If the emperor is unable to control the dragon, let the gold treasure house remain underground forever."
"One hundred thousand taels of gold?" I was shocked. I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty, which was short of national treasury, would have such a huge amount of wealth. It seemed that Song Lizong was really good at amassing wealth.
"Well, that's what the late emperor said. The queen mother has never been to the gold treasure house, but I guess the late emperor would not lie casually." Xie Daoqing smiled, "The official family went to Fujian Road, and what they did finally made the queen feel that the official family
The family is capable of controlling dragons, so the queen mother informed all of the late emperor’s messages.”
"Yuan Ji? Treasure?" I couldn't help but sigh, "Mother, the late emperor was so wise and resourceful that this child is really lucky."
"Yes, although the late emperor's temperament was gentle and even made people feel too weak, he could still see how extraordinary the official family is today. The fact that he left behind these two great treasures shows how wise the late emperor was."
I nodded and thought to myself, it happened that the first generation of muskets had been produced, and what the new army was in urgent need of was military expenditures. Now, everything would be solved.
"The first emperor was wise, and the mother is wise."
"Haha, officials, my mother is not very wise. Jiu'er, go to the back room and open my jewelry box. There is a calligraphy and painting on the bottom floor. Take it out to the officials."
Not long after, Quan Jiu handed me the calligraphy and painting left by the late emperor.
"This picture shows the location of the treasure, and the officials can arrange it themselves."
I took the calligraphy and painting, took a look at it, put it in my arms and said, "My child thanks my mother."
Xie Daoqing said "yes" and said: "The official family, the Queen Mother and Jiu'er have selected ten beautiful girls for you. You can meet them in the next few days. If you don't have any objections, let them enter the palace."
"Ah? So fast."
"In the official family, when the late emperor ascended the throne, he already had more than ten concubines. You have been in power for more than half a year, and you only have a few concubines. How can you be considered fast?"
I didn't feel like making any more excuses, so I had to reply: "It's up to the queen to decide on this matter."
