The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

In the winter of the 20th year of Jingyuan, Xu Sheng died and held a national funeral.

The prestigious Prince's Mansion was also a filial piety for the first emperor. Zhao Qingyi, the elder consort, took his daughter-in-law and righteous daughter into the palace to guard the spirit before returning to the mansion for seven days. Only Princess Li was sixty-five years old, and as an elder, she hadn't stayed with her body for such a long time.

The concubine Zhao Qingyi was also 47 years old. Only because of her inner strength practice, she looked like her 30s, but her eyes became more and more calm.

Zhao Qingyi listened to Xu Jiu’s wife Pan’s report on the situation in the mansion, especially the new emperor will preside over Xu Sheng’s funeral. The Prince of England’s mansion had to prepare the sacrificial shed, and the only thing to do was to make grand arrangements.

If other palaces were to be compared, people outside would still say, just because Xu Sheng adopted Xu Yue, and the new emperor was her and Xu Yun's biological son. If something is wrong, others secretly think that they are overwhelmed and slow down the first emperor. The Queen Mother Cao is still alive. She is Xu Yue's mother in terms of etiquette. In the future, she will be blocked by Xu Yue in the harem, and Xu Yue will also receive three points.

After listening to the app list, Zhao Qingyi nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's it."

Suddenly the maid came to report that it was Prince Zhao bringing his wife and children to ask for peace, and Zhao Qingyi hurried to let people in. I saw a handsome man who was only twenty-five years old and a dignified woman of the same age as he walked into the door, with a pair of children.

It was her eldest son Zhao Chun and her daughter-in-law Li. Zhao Chun was awarded a Jinshi in his early years. He is a young but already Grade 4 Hangzhou prefect. He has never seen him again in the past two years.

When Zhao Chun saw his mother, he hurriedly knelt down and brought Li and the children to kneel and kowtow. Zhao Chun himself banged his head three times and shouted: "Children please mother!"

"Daughter-in-law, please Announce to Mother!"

"Greetings to grandma!"

This is ancient times. It is normal for a wandering son to return from a long distance and kowtow to his mother. Zhao Chun has a solid nature and a great filial son. He respects his wife and does not accept concubines, but he teaches his wife and children extremely strict filial piety.

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said: "Get up quickly, but you can't show it to my mother!"

Zhao Chun hurriedly walked to Zhao Qingyi's side, looked up at her, and said, "Mother, take a good look, my child misses you too!"

Zhao Qingyi saw that his eyebrows became more calm, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said, "My son has grown up, but I have suffered a lot."

He was transferred to the ruling party after the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is a fertile place, and it is also the key to the imperial government's various taxes. The burden was not light at the beginning.

Zhao Chun said: "The child is not bitter, but the mother has worked hard."

Zhao Qingyi looked at Li and smiled: "Get up quickly, it's so cold, don't freeze your knees."

Everyone stood up, and Zhao Qingyi took her grandchildren to look at them again. They looked so picturesque that she always felt that they weren't enough.

Wangfu's grandson Xu Jiu only married Pan's wife last year when she was weak. Pan's has not yet become pregnant, and she is not in a hurry when she is only seventeen years old.

The other two biological children did have children. Every time they brought their children to see her, they wanted to use the children for benefits. A righteous daughter, Zhao Yue, has three children. Zhao Qingyi has grown up and has been a concubine for a long time. He is a man of the world. Naturally, he misses Zhao Chun, his filial son who traveled far more.

Pan Shicai and Li Shi met each other again, and Xu Jiu got married, but Zhao Chun was unable to attend for either party. Li is the granddaughter of Princess Li, who is ten years old from Pan, but she still met it when she was young.

After giving a gift to his children, Pan said: "Mother, the eldest brother returns to Beijing, so let's live in the palace first, so as to understand the mother's miss."

Soon after Zhao Chun got married in high school, he separated and set up another house. No matter how good his relationship with Xu Yun was, he kept his step-son duties.

Zhao Qingyi said: "Naturally stay, you can arrange it."

After Pan responded with a smile, he left with a smile, leaving Zhao Chun's family to accompany Zhao Qingyi to talk about family affairs.

Although the new emperor Xu Yue has not formally ascended the throne, he also has the name of the emperor. He decreed that his cronies headed by Zhao Chun would be transferred back to Beijing for the funeral in order to consolidate his power. Zhao Chun watched his half-brother when he was growing up, and accompanied him to literate, recite poems, and ride horses. The feelings are not comparable to ordinary people. Zhao Chun also has several half-brothers, that is, the sons that Shen Jun abandoned. They all regard Zhao Chunma as their head. Two of them are young scholars, and they have talents for learning and practical work at a young age.

Zhao Chun told Zhao Qingyi about benefiting the officials in Suzhou. The local area was originally rich, but there are still several big families running rampantly, controlling a large amount of land and shops in the area.

Zhao Chun said: "Whether it is collecting taxes or repairing levees, it depends more on their faces, otherwise it will be difficult to get the official evaluation due to taxation issues. Many county and state officials have to fight with them."

Zhao Qingyi said: "Don't act too hastily in everything."

Zhao Chun said: "Last year, His Royal Highness also passed a letter with me, intending to reform, and the whole country will share the income with acres. If this is the case, the land tax will not be reduced every year."

Zhao Qingyi also talked about too much land annexation that led to the demise of the dynasty when the children expanded their thinking when they were young. Now that Xu Yue is about to ascend the throne, he is naturally on his back.

Zhao Qingyi said: "The new emperor is young and has a little irritable temperament. You can guide him more on weekdays and rule a big country to cook small dishes. Any reform will surely cause shocks, and you must accumulate the counterattack forces' hedging energy, otherwise you will not get good results. "

Zhao Chun said: "My father has been in charge of the Xinguozi business for 20 years, and now the new business tax has been implemented for a certain period, and the court has a solid foundation."

Zhao Qingyi sighed: "You, I'm afraid that I am as impatient as the emperor. I am opposed to the implementation of the country. The reform is to take one step and half a step to achieve the greatest approach to success. You are taking two steps, and you don't want to retreat. The emperor is impatient, you should lower the fire appropriately, not add fuel to the fire."

Zhao Chun nodded and said yes.

After they used tea to warm their bodies, they went to greet Princess Li together. Princess Li was still asleep in a hug, so they knocked a few heads in front of the house. The Prince of England is still presiding over the house affairs in the palace, and Zhao Chun is temporarily unable to see him.

After asking for peace, they went to rest in the small courtyard where Zhao Chun used to live.

...

In the twelfth lunar month of the twentieth year of Jingyuan, the first emperor had a funeral, and the new emperor Xu Yue formally ascended the throne in the following new year and changed his reign as Yuanyou.

Time hurried to the Dragon Boat Festival. The dynasty continued to use the thirty-six-day funeral tradition of the emperor's national funeral that was passed down during the Hanwen Emperor. This time also passed the national funeral. As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Tokyo City is also thriving, and the streets are bustling.

Four carriages were parked at the gate of the Prince of England’s Mansion. The first two were carriages for passengers, and the last two were carrying gifts.

The people who got off the carriage were Zhao Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhao Li, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan, the eight-year-old daughter of Zhao Qin.

Seeing that it was the Zhao family, the general manager of the palace didn't dare to neglect to take them into the mansion first, and when they arrived at the compound of Shizi and Shizi in the east courtyard, they waited with tea in the flower hall.

Zhao Qingyi also took Pan and Li to sort out the account books of the various factories outside the palace. Hearing that the family members were coming, he went to the flower hall in casual clothes with them.

After a brief greeting, the two parties took their seats.

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said, "How good is my father?"

Zhao Li replied: "He still watches Ren'er and Xin'er study every day, that's the temper."

Zhao Huaifang is nearly seventy years old. He has been basically satisfied in the past two decades. Although his daughter still supports the entire Zhao family by herself after getting married, she is no longer close to him.

Zhao Qingyi said: "At that age, you still have to walk more and move your bones in order to live a healthy and long life. Don't break the medicated diet prescribed by the doctor."

Zhao Qingyi and Zhao Huaifang are not close, because they have studied people like Zhao Huaifang and found that the starting point of his mission is not the happiness of his daughter, but the noble breath of a scholar, so she is also materially as a daughter. Do your duty, if filial piety is not fulfilled, it will stop emotionally. She can't argue for herself and Zhao Huaifang now. After all, he is the boss. As an employee, even the CEO, can he accuse the chairman of starting the company for the first and foremost reason for making money and not for the benefit of the people?

Zhao Li said: "The imperial physician checks the pulse every month, and the medicated diet has not been cut off, so don't worry."

Zhao Wang asked: "Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, can the emperor hold a dragon boat race?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "I don't know this."

Zhao Wangshi said: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and it's a new look. There are also many personnel transfers in the DPRK."

Zhao Qingyi glanced at Zhao Wang's family, then looked at Zhao Li's family, and said lightly: "It's not our turn to talk about things in the court. It's not in the right place. Don't seek politics."

Zhao Li said: "Where do we have the heart to talk about the government casually, but... there are no outsiders here, let's say a few heart-to-heart words. After all, the emperor was born to you, and was raised by your side. He was sixteen years old. I entered the palace and became the prince. I used to be a grandmother who loved him in my heart, but I don’t know how bitter it was when the emperor entered the inaccessible place alone. Now I’m on Dabao and take care of this promise. How many caring people are there in the big country? The family's flesh and blood, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, who can be more caring than their own family and helping the emperor?"

Zhao Qingyi's face became heavier as Zhao Li spoke. When she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sneered slightly and said, "Isn't it just the words "family family"? So my married daughter hasn't Do you still have a big family? When you open a new factory, you will get 20% of the profits for your family. If there are so many people in the palace, I also have Chun'er, Yue'er, Jiu'er, Yu'er, I really want to say Up, and nowadays, it is not unfilial to use 20% to honor the two elders. The emperor has hundreds of officials allegiance to the emperor, and there is the help of the uncle of the son, and the uncle and cousin of the Cao family are supported. The Cao family is still Mingxia Princess As for your husband’s family, I don’t worry about it at all. Why did my mother suddenly say this?"

The current Empress Dowager Cao is also in the family of the husband of Princess Mingxia. Xu Yue became the heir of the Empress Dowager Cao. According to etiquette, the Cao family is the decent uncle of the country.

Others' family is the backer of father and brother and daughter and sister, but their family is dependent on her.

Zhao Qingbo hasn't been a scholar at this age. Fortunately, his son was admitted as a scholar. Originally, it was not difficult to donate an official based on their family relationship, but Zhao Qingyi strongly opposed donating an official several years earlier. At that time, she said to them: If you have the ability, you can take the test yourself. In her capacity, no one in the court can hinder his future in the examination room. If you don't have the ability, you can't blame others.

At that time, both the Zhao Li clan and the Zhao Wang clan were so boring, and Zhao Huaifang was still a scholar, so he had nothing to say.

It has been a long time since Li and his sister-in-law Wang, who originally loved their daughter, were secretly dissatisfied with Zhao Qingyi, but did not dare to explicitly oppose her.

Zhao Li cherishes his son. This is an old problem that mothers can't avoid.

Zhao Li's original thought was that Xu Yue was newly enthroned, and he needed a caring person in his hands. Of course, his family trusted him more. Zhao Qingbo was Xu Yue's only uncle.

Zhao Li's was misinterpreted by Zhao Qingyi's words, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhao Wang said: "Sister, although the etiquette is so, we are the emperor..."

Zhao Qingyi slapped her teacup down and said, "Sister-in-law, is she trying to get the emperor unrighteous? Heirs are also sons, so what do you think of the empress dowager? To be a man is to keep one's own duty. If you have to look to Shu, this relative I can't do it either."

Xu Jiu's wife, Pan, had never seen a reasonable mother-in-law say such a serious thing, and couldn't help but dare not say it. It was Zhao Chun's wife Li who had much experience in serving her mother-in-law in the early years and was busy making rounds.

"Mother is not angry. The world is the emperor's world. There is no rule and no circle around the world. Even people in the world are digging their heads for personal gains. We can't hurt the emperor to seek personal gain. This is to help the emperor. The aunt is also in a rush for the Zhao family. I have been supported by my mother for so many years. I think my aunt also hopes that the family can stand on its own and reduce the burden on the mother. The aunt has taken care of the small family for a while, and this is what makes it even better."

Zhao Qingyi exhaled and said, "But if my brother is able to manage a factory in an upright examination, what do I have to say. Now that he is nearly 50 years old and his energy is not as good as before, he has an official position. Why not let young and promising people? Only by doing this can we benefit the people and share worries for the emperor."

Zhao Wang's heart was both worried and unconvinced. Seeing that all the people who came and went with were the orders of officials, her new aunt, the emperor, was still a white body, so how could she balance her heart.

Zhao Li originally thought that now that the emperor has ascended the throne, Zhao Qingyi should be able to let go. Unexpectedly, it would still be like this.
