The Queen Mother glared angrily, "Emperor! That's your biological nephew. It's already difficult enough for him without the support of his father's family. How can you be so playful about his marriage?"
The Queen Mother was already a little dissatisfied with the emperor after what happened with Murong Xu. Now that she knew his attitude towards Murong Jue, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and shed tears.
The emperor hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Mother, it was because my son felt sorry for Ah Jue that I acquiesced in his actions. Think about it, what did Ah Jue say when you intended to marry a girl from the Zhao family to Ah Jue?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment.
At that time, she was trying to find a woman for Murong Jue who had a good family background, was inconspicuous, and had both political integrity and talent. Zhao Furong was the granddaughter of Taifu Zhao, the youngest daughter of Princess Qingkang, and the biological sister of the second princess. Her family background was outstanding in every way. .
In addition, he looked good, was clever and sweet-tongued in front of her, and had good rules. At that time, she felt that the child was right with Murong Jue, and she never considered whether the child would like it or not.
For this reason, Huaian was specially asked to write a letter to Murong Jue about the matter. He thought that Murong Jue would write back to express his joy and gratitude, but the fact was that the child only replied with a few numbers.
At that time, she thought that Murong Jue was only focused on building a career and did not care about the personal relationship between his children. She didn't think much about it at all. Now she suddenly realized that it was not that Murong Jue didn't care about life-long events, but that he just didn't care about the Zhao family's marriage.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's visible sadness and disappointment, the emperor hurriedly said: "Mother, this child Ajue is very independent and sensible. When we dealt with the Zhao family, we dealt with it first and then reported it. Even if the child was not happy, he compromised. Later, When he knew it didn't work, he immediately wrote to me and said that he didn't care about family status when choosing a wife, and he could rely on himself
The child is so ambitious. As his uncle, how can I dampen his enthusiasm? Besides, with me protecting him, what's the problem if he just marries an ordinary girl like Lao Liu? I have arranged everything that should be given to him.
What's more, the woman he married is not an ordinary woman.
Shen Yi has made great achievements in his official career over the years. He presided over the construction of the first pontoon bridge in Langya Kingdom. He also discovered the coal mines in Zhaohua County. Under his governance, Zhaohua County has long been out of poverty and has become the most prosperous county in Lizhou. A rich place.
I have already decided to give him a promotion. It just so happens that the doctor of the Ministry of Industry will be serving as an official in two months, so he can be promoted.
There is also Shen Yi's son Shen Congrong. The mother of the child also knows that he has worked diligently in the Polytechnic College these years, is meticulous in his work, does not like to be pushy, and has a gentle temper. He is deeply loved by his colleagues.
I originally wanted to let him go, but I couldn't bear to let him go. I will train him hard and he will be the next prince's minister in the future. In addition, I plan to promote Lu Tong, the magistrate of Zhaohua County, and transfer Xiong Feng and Su Yongzhang. These are the future pillars of Langya Country. ”
The most important point is that these people are all related to the Shen family. Murong Jue married a girl from the Shen family. It seems wrong now, but the situation may be very different in a few years.
The Queen Mother is old and mature, so she naturally understands the potential of the Shen family, and she felt a little relieved at the moment, "In that case, the Queen Mother has misunderstood you! Alas! The Queen Mother is also worried about your sister, and the Emperor is also watching what kind of life Huai'an will have after the separation. In the eyes.
She is obviously the most noble eldest princess, but she always keeps a low profile. Ah Jue is her only son and her only hope. The reason why the Queen Mother is worried about Ah Jue is because of your sister. ”
"Queen Mother, I understand everything! Don't worry about Ah Jue, I know it well."
The Queen Mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after the emperor left, her expression gradually turned cold.
Aunt Gui on the side offered a cup of tea.
The Queen Mother said quietly: "The older the Emperor gets, the more elusive his thoughts become!"
Aunt Gui paused and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty may have been heartbroken by the Second Prince, so you are more cautious. Besides, Your Majesty is right. The Shen family's family status is not obvious now, but Shen Yi is He is talented, and Mr. Xiao Shen is also highly regarded by the emperor.
I heard that the sixth prince’s concubine has a very good relationship with the Shen family, and the Marquis of Yong’an is backing him up. Hiss! Not to mention that I haven’t felt it yet, but if you look closely, you can see that the Shen family is not simple either! ”
The Queen Mother also came to her senses now, and her mood improved a bit, "That's right." The most important point is that the emperor obviously intends to support the Shen family, which is indeed beneficial and harmless to Murong Jue.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, Aunt Gui continued: "Now think about it, this Miss Shen family is much better than Miss Zhao family! The Zhao family was implicated by the second prince, and Taifu Zhao was in a state of collapse. He has not achieved much success in the past few years. < br>
In addition, the Zhao family advocates recommendation, while the emperor insists on imperial examination. If this continues, the emperor may not be able to tolerate the Zhao family.
Thinking about it this way, I am glad that the marriage did not happen that year! ”
It was said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but this did not include the Queen Mother. Aunt Gui followed the Queen Mother and occasionally heard the emperor come over and talk about it, so she also knew a few things.
The Queen Mother was completely relieved after being persuaded like this.
He also gave Shen Congrong something as a reward.
In the Bo Academy, Shen Congrong received something from the palace. He was not surprised that it was fake, but he didn't say much.
However, the palace servants took the initiative to congratulate him and told him about Shen Yuezhang and Murong Jue's engagement.
The officials of the Bo Academy were all fine people. When they learned that the Shen family and the eldest princess of Huai'an were related, their attitude toward him became even warmer.

Su Yongzhang patted Shen Congrong on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to stand alone in the College after the two of us were released. Now that my cousin has got a good marriage, you will have Huai'an Chang in the palace in the future. With the princess covering us, Brother Xiong and I feel relieved.”
While Su Yongzhang was talking, he noticed that Xiong Feng was distracted and hurriedly pulled him, "What's wrong with you? You've been distracted lately!"
Xiong Feng came back to his senses, smiled, and shook his head, "No! I was just wondering where we would go during the field trip?"
Su Yongzhang patted his shoulder and comforted him: "No matter where you go, as long as you work hard, you will get ahead one day. But I think you should worry about your own life-long affairs first.
Wait, I will tell Uncle Liu when I get back soon and ask Uncle Liu to help you organize things. ”
Xiong Feng hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you Brother Su for your kindness. I still have my grandmother at home. After the appointment, we will have more than a month to visit relatives. I will go back to Zhaohua County by then. I believe my grandmother will arrange it."
"That's true!"
The three of them changed the topic and started discussing other things.
Within two days, the appointment document from the court came down.
One of Xiong Feng and Su Yongzhang became the magistrate of Zhaohua County, and the other became the county magistrate of Zhaohua County.
The two of them held the document and were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
You know, today's Zhaohua County is a hot spot. How many people are trying to get in. Even the children of aristocratic families have begun to make plans to go there. If they can't be officials, they will go there to do business. (End of chapter)
