Chapter 1111 Two times of excitement
If you want to be strong in your husband's family, your mother's family must be confident.
Just like Zhang Xiaosi, relying on the royal family, latecomers can also come to the top - within the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, who dares to let her be a concubine?
Of course, Zhang Xiaosi himself can be regarded as a worthy person and deserves the support of his family.
This also leads to the second condition. If your mother's family can't compare, you have to rely on yourself.
Like General Guan.
Even if the royal family was shameless and could force someone to divorce their wives, it would be very difficult to divorce a general who conquered the East.
Especially the general who conquered the east, he was willing to serve as a foil and silently helped his husband to train elites like the Liangzhou Army.
When she was needed, she put on armor and led the army, annexing the east of the state and Hedong, forcing the pseudo-Wei emperor to flee eastward in panic, making her famous in the Central Plains.
Those characters, who have the ambition to unify the world, are thinking about how to cover them.
Just like now, no matter how powerful the queen is, when she sees General Zhengdong getting angry, she has to smile and accompany him:
“Sister Guan is right, this marriage must be approved by both families.”
“Didn’t the Prime Minister act as a matchmaker for General Feng during his lifetime? And I heard that Sister Guan was also present at the time and nodded in agreement.”
General Guan refused to give in and said calmly:
“I agree, but we still need to discuss how to marry into the Feng family.”
What happened to the Queen's sister?
That doesn't mean she can't be beaten in terms of marriage standards!
This is not just a matter of face, but also a matter of status.
"Feng Junhou's status is different now," the queen still smiled, without any sign of anger, and looked at Feng Junhou, "right?"
Feng Junhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was so **** hot!
It’s okay that the queen didn’t mention this. Once she mentioned this, General Guan became even more confident:
"What's the difference? When you married me, you were treated like a king. Now Alang is still a king. There is no difference."
After conquering Bingzhou and Guanzhong, Wei Yan's achievements were not as great as Alang's. He was already a Wugong County Marquis. Where was Alang?
Still just the Marquis of Jiequanting, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get promoted, you have to be promoted, right?
Who would have expected that even being promoted to an official position was so cowardly that he was not even given the job of recording a minister, but was given the job of a normal minister.
Such stinginess can be seen at a glance as being written by a woman.
How?
Now that you are planning to marry your sister, you realize that the title is wrong?
If you have the ability, please promote my family, Alang, to the Duke!
Not rising?
If you don’t get promoted, you have to follow the rules honestly. What was the standard for marrying me back then? Zhang Xiaosi could only be equal to me at most, not even one point over!
Of course, if you really dare to let Alang be promoted to Duke, then Zhang Xiaosi's marriage standards are better than mine, so it is not impossible to negotiate.
This is not because General Guan loves Feng Junhou so much that he is willing to be wronged - of course, he still loves her very much - but she is planning for her own children.
Because in the future, the person who inherits the title of Feng Mansion must be Ah Chong. If it is not Ah Chong, then it is Ah Shun. Anyway, it can only be the child of General Guan and Junhou Feng.
The other children in the family can share the property. Anyway, she has Feng's unique skills and is not afraid that her children will have no future.
But other children must not get involved in the title left by Feng Junhou.
Because part of this title was earned by General Guan who personally led the army and achieved real results.
If the royal family doesn't care about face, don't blame her for turning against her.
In this kind of thing, even if she breaks into the court and quarrels, she is still on the right side - when push comes to shove, I put on the armor of General Zhengdong and go to court!
"Zhang Jiawen, Guan Jiawu", although it was a joke in the boudoir when they were not married, but now **** for tat, full fire, really made Feng Junhou feel how elegant the two girls were back then.
Even the parties involved, myself and Xiaosi, could only stand and watch silently.
The emperor, who should be the natural protagonist, only gave Feng Junhou a helpless look.
This made Feng Junhou feel very unhappy:
take it when it is good, and hide it when trouble occurs. Are you not a son of man?
You are the emperor of the Han family!
It’s the emperor!
Can you show some of the spirit of an emperor at a critical moment?
Do you understand that you don’t look like a king now?
Possibly sensing Feng Junhou’s resentful look, Adou gave him another apologetic look, no more.
Because the little fat man is also feeling miserable now.
If it were something else, even if it was for the sake of his brother-in-law, he would definitely say a few words.
But regarding Siniang...the royal family can only support Siniang.
Is it a family matter? Of course, it only depends on the position, without distinction between right and wrong.
How many sacrifices has Siniang made for the royal family over the years?
Whether it is from the perspective of the royal family or from the perspective of the natal family, is there any problem in fighting for the interests of Siniang now?
If I really put myself in the position of the tiger girl of the Guan family, it would make people wonder whether he, the emperor, is the head of the royal family?
Since the queen gave birth to the prince, her waist has become stronger and stronger.
In addition, she often gave advice to the emperor, which further increased her authority in the palace.
Not to mention that since the death of the prime minister, the emperor has taken over power externally and governed domestically, and the status of the queen has continued to rise with the tide, rising to a higher level.
Being used to smooth sailing in the palace, coupled with the cheers just now on Chang'an Avenue, and the excitement of the sisters meeting again after a long separation, the queen was a little excited.
Who would have known that after entering the palace gate, Feng Junhou first gave him a soft nail, and then the tiger girl pushed back extremely forcefully, which made the hot-headed queen feel like a bucket of cold water was poured on her head, and she finally began to calm down.
Seeing the tiger girl's high fighting spirit, like a tigress protecting her territory, the queen was frightened, and then she smiled to herself, a little apologetically:
"I didn't think it through well. This matter really needs to be discussed in detail."
The queen took the initiative to take a step back, and Feng Junhou's worried heart returned to its original place. At the same time, he heard someone heaving a sigh of relief.
Looking at the sound, I saw that the emperor was also looking over tacitly.
The two of them looked away at the same time in tacit agreement.
At the same time, he said silently in his heart: All matters in the palace (palace) are decided by women. As the head of the family (the emperor), don’t you think it is a loss of dignity for a man? !
It is Zhang Xiaosi who is much more responsible than the two men at this time.
Seeing her holding the queen's arm, she said half-coquettishly:
“Sister! This kind of family matter must be discussed behind closed doors, so how can we discuss it in public?”
“Besides, the return of the emperor’s brother-in-law to the old capital today is a major event to fulfill the late emperor’s legacy. What’s the point of talking about these children?”
Zhang Xingcai patted her hand with some helplessness, some pampering, and some distress, nodded and said:
“You are right, I was careless.”
Then the queen looked at Adou again:
“I’ve been rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
“It’s not in the way, it’s not in the way, it’s not outside, the people present are all members of my family.”
“But after standing here for so long, I can’t help but want to see what the inside of the palace is like.”
The queen smiled:
“When Your Majesty said this, I was a little anxious and wanted to see what it was like inside.”
“I’ll lead the way.” Zhang Xingyi was waiting here today, and that wasn’t just for this. She took credit for it and said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on the rebuilding of Weiyang Palace!”
This statement is true.
After all, Feng Junhou only cares about the general direction and does not care about specific affairs, plus he is always out on inspections.
Even though the engineering team was transferred from Nanxiang, the quality supervision of the project was still controlled by Zhang Xiaosi himself.
"Okay, okay! I will let you be the guide for today's trip to the palace."
After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at Junhou Feng again, and then at General Guan, "But Junhou Feng is in charge of rebuilding the Weiyang Palace, so Junhou will also lead the way, right?"
Although she took a step back, she is still the Empress of the Han Dynasty. Her face needs to be regained here.
It was a hot summer day, and Feng Junhou was wearing formal clothes. The underwear inside had already become wet, dry, and wet again.
Hearing the Queen's words, he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At the same time, he began to secretly look at General Guan.
General Guan, who originally thought he had won, turned pale again.
One win, one defeat, or a draw!
Sure enough, she is still the same girl from the Zhang family.
Feng Junhou lamented in his heart, "It's so sad that Guan Guan is really fucked!"
In the first round, I secretly sided with General Guan. In the second round, it seems that I can only agree to the queen.
Tianjia’s face is not just for slapping.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you get beaten - after all, this is not the barbaric era where "Qingfeng is illiterate".
But whether to slap Tianjia in the face or not depends on how much it costs and how much benefit it can get in return?
It depends on the price/performance ratio and whether it is worth it.
Like this time, Feng Junhou weighed the cost-effectiveness and made a decision quickly:
“How dare you never disobey the Queen’s orders?”
The worst I can do is kneel down on the keyboard when I get home.
Oh, I forgot that there were no keyboards in this era.
That would be better and save trouble.
Just when the emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to the old capital and visited Weiyang Palace, there was another bustle in Luoyang, thousands of miles away.
The excitement was caused by the fact that Sima Shi, the son of the Taifu, married the Wu family, the daughter of Wu Zhi, the former Zhenwei general.
During the Jian'an period, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhi, and Zhu Shuo were either on good terms with Wei Crown Prince Cao Pi, or simply served as Cao Pi's staff advisers, and were called Cao Pi's "four friends".
After Cao Pi became emperor, these four people were all reused and had extremely high status.
Especially Wu Zhi, who gave Cao Pi many suggestions and made great contributions to establishing Cao Pi's position as crown prince.
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately sent people to take Wu Zhi to Luoyang without stopping, appointed him as Zhonglang General, and made him a marquis, supervising the military affairs of You and the states.
A few years later, Wu Zhi returned from Hebei. Cao Pi ordered the generals in the capital and all the generals below Tejin to gather at Wu Zhi's house to celebrate him.
Because Cao Zhen was relatively fat, while Zhu Shuo, one of the Four Friends, was very thin.
While Wu Zhi was drunk, he deliberately asked a good rapper to come up and make fun of him.
Cao Zhen, who was a general at the time, thought that he was an important member of the clan and was ashamed to be teased, so he angrily scolded Wu Zhi.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhi stood up with his sword in hand and cursed Cao Zhen angrily.
Cao Zhen was humiliated, and Cao Pi had no reaction afterwards, which shows his favor for Wu Zhi.
Chen Qun, as another "four friends", was also slandered by Wu Zhi.
When Cao Rui first came to the throne, Wu Zhi stated to him his security plan:
Sikong Minister Chen Qun is a mediocre person, not a talented person; he praised the hussar general Sima Yi for being loyal and resourceful, and a pillar of the country.
Cao Rui thinks so.
Cao Rui's four auxiliary ministers, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, are all relatives, so they can control the army outside.
And Sima Yi, as a non-clan relative, was actually able to lead the army to garrison Wancheng and supervise the military affairs of Jing and Hezhou.
Although Cao Rui's move was suspected of taking the opportunity to take over the power of the central government, Sima Yi's power and influence far surpassed that of Chen Qun, but it was real.
Chen Qun was the only auxiliary minister who was not sent to Luoyang. His status seemed to be high, but it was precisely because Cao Rui believed that he would not affect his control of the court.
It can be seen that Wu Zhi's words did play a certain role.
It was precisely because Wu Zhi was arrogant and acted arrogantly because of his favor that he offended too many people. However, these people became the most powerful ministers of Cao Rui's dynasty after Cao Pi's death.
In addition, he always likes to associate with powerful people and never interacts with the people in the countryside, so his reputation in his hometown is not good.
Therefore, after Wu Zhi's death, the people who had offended him collectively counterattacked and gave him the name "Chou" and the posthumous title "Chou Hou".
Wu Zhi was so prosperous during his lifetime, but after his death, his descendants were so miserable - he was collectively suppressed by the powerful powerful men in the DPRK, and his treatment was not low.
Wu Zhi was not from a noble family, and his family did not have a strong foundation. As soon as he died, the Wu family declined rapidly, and he was hated by the countryside because of him.
The descendants could not even return to their hometown, so they had to live in Luoyang relying on the property accumulated by Wu Zhi during his lifetime.
In addition, his son Wu Ying once served as an official under Cao Pi. Although he has not been promoted for many years, he still has a meager salary to make ends meet.
Of course, more importantly, everyone is willing to give Sima Yi face.
At the same time, he is also unwilling to bear the reputation of a villain who dares not take revenge in person and only dares to use his power to bully future generations.
However, although Wu Ying was burdened by his family members and had a difficult life, he never gave up his efforts to change his family's posthumous title.
He wrote to the court countless times and tried his best to visit various enemies, during which he received countless looks and ridicules.
But he never backed down, never got discouraged, and he would try again after failing once.
There is a saying that things in the world are impermanent.
Wu Zhi's descendants were suppressed due to Wu Zhi's involvement, and now they are once again in the eyes of the Luoyang public because of Wu Zhi's kindness.
In the past, the Taifu was favored by Wu Zhi in front of the emperor. Today, the Taifu's son Sima Shi actually wants to marry Wu Zhi's daughter.
With Cao Zhen’s leadership, the senior ministers of the Wei state who advocated giving Wu Zhie’s posthumous title have gradually died over the years.
Coupled with Wu Ying, Wu Zhi's son, who has always been determined, people can't help but sigh that this man's filial piety is rare in the world.
Even those who have a bad feeling for Wu Zhi have to admit that he really gave birth to a good son.
In this case, Sima Shi married Wu as his wife, not only without being hindered by Wu Zhi's actions during his lifetime.
On the contrary, many people felt that the Taifu was indeed a person who valued affection and righteousness.
How can he treat the descendants of his old friends in this way? How much should he value the friendship of his old friends!
The news that Master Sima married Wu's daughter had reached Xuchang in advance.
After all, the Taifu is a veteran of the four dynasties and has many old friends in the court. Although it is not necessary for them to come to congratulate in person due to their status, it is normal to send their descendants to come.
Even if he doesn’t send one, Sima Shi, as a nephew and nephew, still has to tell these uncles.
After receiving the wedding invitation, many veterans in Xuchang had complicated moods.
I don’t know who’s yard, but someone cursed hatefully:
“Cao Shuang is a rat, and among the three dogs in Taichung, the most ruthless one is Bo Liang. Compared with the Taifu, he is nothing like a hair on his head!”
