==Chapter 205==
About the matter of establishing a queen, the court has been abuzz, but Emperor Jin'an has never expressed his position.
The minister below asked for a performance, so he listened. After listening, he didn't say a word, turned around and threw it behind his head. Privately, the courtiers were talking about everything, but it never stopped.
Just then, something happened.
It all starts from that day——
In February, the weather finally started to clear up. Although it was still cold, you could always see some sunshine.
Today is the day when officials take a rest, and there are far fewer sedans and horses on the road than usual, but the West Maoer Alley is very noisy.
Ximaoer Hutong is close to the outer city and is at the very edge of the inner city. Most of the people living here are lower-ranking officials. The alleys are deep and the houses are shallow. The houses are located next to each other, which is a good explanation of the difficulty of living in the capital.
But even the house in Ximaoer Hutong is very popular. As long as someone takes action, it will be bought in the blink of an eye.
Without him, it’s all because of the convenient location.
Some petty officials are tired of the daily grinding, so naturally they want to be as close as possible. In this way, they can save a lot of time in going back and forth to the government office every day. Looking at the small house once you enter, it is several times more expensive than the houses in the outer city.
At this time, a middle-aged man and woman were arguing in front of the door of Mao's house, attracting onlookers from residents in the alley.
After all, it is a house of officials, and they pay more or less attention to the influence. How can they just stand on the outside and watch. In the seemingly deserted alley, many houses have cracks in their house doors. As for whether the person standing behind the door is the master or a servant, only God knows.
The man and woman quarreling are husband and wife. The man’s surname is Mao and he is a censor.
The imperial censor is the most poor and smelly, with low rank and low salary. Of course, that only refers to a very small number of people. Nowadays, who among the officials would pay attention to the breeze on both sleeves, but Mao Yushi is one of the different ones.
Not only was Mao Yushi poor, but he also had a bad temper and was famous in the court. Whoever was arrested would be troubled by the reputation.
However, as a censor, he has the power to supervise the court and the princes and officials, so there is nothing he can do if others dislike him. Some people jokingly said that Mao Yushi was not afraid of anything. He dared to intervene even if the emperor made mistakes. Probably no one in the world would make him afraid. In fact, no, the person Mao Dong is afraid of is his wife, Mrs. Mao.
Yu Shi Mao is famous in Beijing, not only because he is smelly and tough, but also because he is also famous for being henpecked.
This time regarding the matter of establishing a queen, Mao Yushi is considered an active member. He does not dislike Yao Niang's low status. What he objects to is that Yao Niang is not upright, and she is charming and seducing the emperor step by step. The position of the princess.
Pedantic people like Mao Yushi, who are moral benchmarks, dislike this kind of people the most. In fact, if you think about it, if she hadn't been charming and charming, how could a woman who was a concubine sit in the position of a royal princess? Even what Emperor Jin'an did when he was still a prince was criticized by him, thinking that he was greedy for women.
From Mao Yushi's point of view, the queen is the mother of a country. As a mother, she must be the mother of the world. She must not be a charming and charming person, otherwise she will endanger the court and the country.
Not to mention how radical he was in the court, this matter somehow reached the ears of Mrs. Mao. Because of this matter, Mrs. Mao had quarreled with him several times, but Mao Yushi still went out in one ear and out the other. This made Mrs. Mao very angry. She wanted to make peace with Mao Yushi and even wanted to return to her parents' home.
Mrs. Mao had a fierce temper and wanted to leave immediately. Yushi Mao couldn't get her request, so the two of them pulled her out of the courtyard gate.
"Madam, please stop making trouble. Isn't it enough for my husband to make amends with you?"
Censor Mao bowed his head repeatedly. He was born with a thin body and a goatee. Judging from his appearance, he was a rigid and pedantic person. On the contrary, Mrs. Mao was born with a round figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, she had a sharp and capable face.
"Then you should not do what I told you?" Mrs. Mao asked.
Yu Shi Mao, however, was silent.
When she saw him like this, Mrs. Mao turned around and was about to leave. Before she could take two steps, she was pulled back by Mao Yushi again.
"Madam, please stop making trouble. This matter is related to the country, the country, and the welfare of all people. It is not for women like you to comment. Whatever you say, a husband can respond, but this matter, this matter Things..."
"I bless your country and the country, the welfare of all people! I am a woman, I don't know any big principles, I know that I can't be ungrateful or shameless."
Censor Mao stamped his feet and sighed: "Why do you call it shameless? Madam, look at what you said."
Mrs. Mao stretched out a fat finger and poked Mao Yushi's shoulder: "Then tell me who saved our family when the rebels broke out, and who took them in. If our family was not allowed to die tragically at the hands of the rebels, who fed and drank you in those days, and then ordered people to send us home after the rebels were wiped out?"
These questions made Mao Yushi speechless. He held it in for a long time before he finally said: "What does this have to do with Li Hou? This is today's benevolence and has nothing to do with that person!"
"It has nothing to do with you, it has to do with me! I only know that when I stayed in Prince Jin's Mansion, everything was done well, and there was no one from a wealthy family who looked down on others. When I came out in a hurry, my daughter-in-law, Sister Shan, and I were in a hurry. There is no change of clothes. The princess personally ordered them to be delivered to us. She was even worried that the servants would not serve properly, so she personally came out to give instructions... You are useless. After being an official for so many years, you are still a seventh-grade censor. You can’t afford to hire a nursing home, which will make your wife and children suffer. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to receive favors in vain and feel guilty and uneasy every day..."
Mrs. Mao began to cry as she spoke. This cry was truly earth-shattering.
Censor Mao was so anxious that he scratched his head and looked guilty, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Because everything Mrs. Mao said was true. It was his incompetence that caused his wife and children to suffer.
Mrs. Mao blew her nose, stopped crying and then said: "I don't care anyway, since you are making things difficult for others, I have no shame to be with you anymore. Don't stop me, let's get together and relax." , I’ll go back to my parents’ home.”
Censor Mao stamped his feet and said, "I'm already a long time old. I don't have to worry my father-in-law and mother-in-law when I return to my parents' home."
What else did Mrs. Mao want to say, when suddenly several people rushed out from the door of Mao's house, but they were Mao Yushi, his wife, his son, his daughter, and his daughter-in-law.
A few people managed to drag Mrs. Mao in.
"Mom, stop fussing. If you don't say something properly, you won't make others laugh."
"It is."
The door of Mao's house was closed from the inside, blocking countless sightlines outside.
After listening to such a big drama early in the morning, the neighbors of the Mao family had endless aftertaste, and at the same time, some people felt quite uncomfortable. Because it was the prince who brought people out to save people, and many of them were the ones who benefited.
Most of the people who can live here are not high-ranking officials. They can't afford a nursing home, and the gates of their houses are shallow. On that day, the rebels rebelled, and many families here suffered. Fortunately, His Highness the King of Jin arrived in time. After that, he was brought back to the Jin Palace, where he slept peacefully among the high walls. The princess was friendly, the servants were in good hands, and he had no shortage of food and clothing. Needless to say, he was grateful.
It’s just that as time goes by, many people have forgotten the embarrassment of that day and the feeling of surviving the disaster.
……
The Mao family.
As soon as Mrs. Mao entered the house, she rushed into the house quickly, picked up the tea from the table and drank it.
"I'm so thirsty."
Censor Mao was also sweating profusely. He entered the hall and sat down on a chair.
After Mrs. Mao drank the water and regained her composure, she said, "Master, do you think this method is effective?"
At this time, Mao Yushi was not pedantic at all. He stroked his beard and said: "It is not up to us to decide whether it is useful or not. Anyway, it is enough for us to just do what we should do."
This is Mao Yushi's real way of life. Without a backer and ignorant of the situation, with such an annoying temperament, he would have been thrown back to his hometown to farm a long time ago. He was able to survive the Hongjing Dynasty safely only because of his understanding of Shangyi.
"But I still hope to be able to help you."
Although Mrs. Mao and the princess only took photos twice, and they passed by each other in a hurry, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the princess was a kind person. Because her husband was disliked outside, even Mrs. Mao was not popular outside, but the princess did not look down on them because of this. That kind of sincere kindness cannot be deceived, and it is also extremely rare.
Based on this alone, Madam Mao felt that she was worthy of being the Queen and Princess.
*
Although this matter of the Mao family is as trivial as a sesame seed or a mung bean, it somehow spread throughout the three departments and six departments, and everyone in every family heard about it. For a time, there were those who disdained, those who hated, those who ridiculed, and those who remained silent.
I have to say that Mao Yushi and his wife are really annoying. They are always so heart-wrenching in their words and deeds. Scholar-bureaucrats pay attention to dignity and repay kindness, so how can they make people poke their spines and scold them as white-eyed wolves? Although the men had never had any contact with the original princess, they lived in the palace that day, and the servants kept saying that they were following the arrangements of the princess.
The reason why the fig leaf is a fig leaf is that everyone tacitly chooses to ignore it. Now that the fig leaf has been torn off, anyone who wants some face is embarrassed to jump too high.
Of course, this is only a small part, and there are also some who claim that they have not received any favor from the palace, so they can condemn them from the position of defenders. However, Emperor Jin'an also gave a response at this time, and the imperial edict for the establishment of the emperor had been issued to the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites.
This is the second time that Emperor Jin'an issued an imperial edict to ennoble the queen. The Daqian Dynasty was a cabinet system. If the current edict is inappropriate, the cabinet and the six departments have the right to refute edicts and edicts.
But the so-called denial is only a method, not a means. To put it bluntly, the world belongs to the emperor. You are a minister who has repeatedly disobeyed your superiors, but you just don’t intend to continue.
Sealing and refuting is just a kind of temptation and tacit understanding. Let me let the superiors know that this sealing edict is inappropriate. If the superiors are scrupulous, they will naturally not issue another edict. But if the superiors insist on having their own way, the subordinates below will have no choice but to think of other ways, and they will not do it forcefully. Of course, some people from all dynasties and generations in the audience were brave enough to confront the emperor, but the end was miserable without exception.
The cabinet only restrains the imperial power, never checks and balances the imperial power.
The imperial edict has been issued to the Ministry of Rites, and will be announced to all officials and the world soon. Even if it can be delayed, there is only a three-day time limit. After this time limit, the entire Ministry of Rites will be suspected of dereliction of duty.
An imperial edict caused turbulent waves under the water. It was clear that night had fallen, but in private everything that needed to be moved began to move.
At this time, the Yangxin Hall was also busy.
Emperor Jin'an came back late today. Yao Niang had asked someone to ask before. Emperor Jin'an said he would be back soon, so Yao Niang led the two men after sending the food to Qianqing Palace. The children were waiting for Emperor Jin'an to come back. Erbao is hungry. Let him eat some pastries first.
When it was dark, Emperor Jin'an came back. After a while of busy work, Emperor Jin'an changed into casual clothes and ate with Yao Niang and her two children.
Today, Yao Niang has changed her way of eating. The mutton pot she sent to Qianqing Palace was very popular with the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor said it several times openly and secretly, and Yao Niang sent it twice more, so she did not dare to send it again. Although mutton is warm and tonic, it is sweet and hot in nature, and the emperor is still recovering, so it is not appropriate to eat too much. But it just happened that the Supreme Emperor fell in love with this one recently. He couldn't even fly in the sky or run on the ground because he fell in love with this.
Yao Niang had no choice but to find another way. At the suggestion of Mrs. Xue, she made a stew with mutton, but she picked up all the mutton and rinsed other vegetables with the mutton soup to eat. Not too much.
In fact, this way of eating is not uncommon. It has been popular in Beijing for a while, but it still uses mutton or other meat as the main ingredient. Even the shabu-shabu dishes are all seasonal vegetarian dishes, just to add flavor. On the other hand, because the common people are not well-off, but they are greedy for the taste of meat, they add tofu and vegetarian dishes to the broth. It is said to be a meat pot, but in fact it is a pot of vegetarian food.
Of course, the way of eating in the palace is different. They pay attention to freshness and taste. They all choose freshly cooked and eaten food, which is quite fun.
Supposedly, this is good, but unfortunately Erbao and Xiaobao are both too small, with short arms and small hands. It is too unsafe to fish for food in boiling soup. However, the two little ones do not like to be served and eaten. Yao Niang had an idea and asked people to cut a lot of bamboo sticks, string the vegetables and meat on the bamboo sticks, then cook them in the soup base, and then eat them with special dipping ingredients, which has a unique flavor.
After trying it once, Erbao fell in love with it and asked Yao Niang to do it for him every day. The key point is that Emperor Jin'an seems to like it very much, and his appetite has increased. This makes Yao Niang, who is worried that he eats too little every day, overjoyed. She asked her subordinates to rack their brains and string together various delicacies for cooking.
As for the Qianqing Palace, the Supreme Emperor also liked it very much, which can be regarded as a success.
The whole family had a satisfying meal, and they were all sweating profusely. Although it was not too cold in February, it was still rare.
The palace maids and eunuchs came up to clean their hands and faces, and drank some tea to relieve their tiredness. Fucheng walked in from outside and whispered something in Emperor Jin'an's ear. Emperor Jin'an just nodded slightly and said nothing.
Afterwards, Fucheng withdrew, and Yao Niang glanced at him curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The author has something to say: Emperor Jin'an: Boss, come and count the signatures!
