Chapter 1305 Xin Zijuan The setting sun, the grass and the trees are high, and the skills of paragraphs

Tanchun, who had always been strong-willed, also got a touch of wetness in the corner of her eyes due to her brother's words. She tilted her head slightly and calmly avoided Jia Huan's gaze, then quietly wiped her cheek with a sweat towel and pretended to wipe it. After removing the tears from the corners of his eyes, he calmed down and said, "Brother Huan, Sister Bao and Sister Qin are a match made in heaven when they marry Brother Feng..."

"Bullshit, a match made in heaven!" Jia Huan couldn't help but get furious, "If the Xue family hadn't had some connection with Brother Feng in Linqing, and if the Xue sisters hadn't been direct descendants, when would it have been their turn to be the two sisters? A declining one. It’s just the Huangshang family, third sister, what are you worse than them? It’s not that the master and his wife refused to marry you to Brother Feng earlier before Brother Feng had Chinese style, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with the Shen family and the Xue family? "

Tanchun was shocked. Where did Jia Huan hear such news?

"Brother Huan, what are you talking about?" Tan Chun's voice trembled a little, and he subconsciously clenched his sweat towel, "Our family has never had such an idea. Brother Feng and I were still young at that time... "

"Humph, my uncle mentioned it to me. He said that my wife was the one who got in the way at that time, saying that Brother Feng might not be able to read. Brother Feng's father was also idle at home at that time, and the Feng family would no longer be able to survive in the capital city. Maybe I will go back to Linqing in despair..."

Jia Huan’s words are half true and half false.

It was indeed Jia She who mentioned to him that Jia Zheng and his wife had originally mentioned this idea accidentally, and also mentioned it to Wang Ziteng, but they were still young at the time, and they really didn't think much of Feng Ziying. Wang Ziteng had no attitude, and Jia She only found out a few years later, but why the Feng family returned to Linqing in despair was just Jia Huan's own imagination.

Tan Chun's hands trembled, and he almost fell to the ground just as he was about to pick up the tea cup. He quickly held his hand on the table to prevent himself from losing his composure.

She knew that her status as a commoner was the biggest obstacle, but if the two families had been engaged five or six years ago before Brother Feng went to Qingtan Academy to study, maybe the Feng family would have accepted such a marriage.

No matter which house you live in, you can still occupy the status of a big wife. With the status and friendship between the two families, even if Brother Feng later wins the exam and becomes a scholar, he will not regret the marriage. It is nothing more than saying that he is high-ranking and the Jia family has It's just that the vision has made a good marriage early.

Tanchun was a little confused for a moment. She had never thought that such a thing would happen again, and Jia Huan would not tell such a lie specifically to deceive herself. It was a pity that such an opportunity was fleeting. When Brother Feng went to Qingtan The possibility is very small when studying in the academy, and it is almost impossible after passing the examination.

Perhaps everything is fate? Tanchun felt sad and lonely in his heart. Are he and Brother Feng really destined to have no connection?

Tanchun knows Brother Huan's thoughts, but even if he really doesn't care about being a concubine, what about the family? How can the master and his wife agree? This is undoubtedly a harm to the Jia family's reputation.

 Furthermore, Tanchun's heart is just like Huan Ge'er said, full of resentment, dissatisfaction and stubbornness.

Xue Baochai is fine, why can even Xue Baoqin have the identity of a nun?

How are you any worse than their sisters?

Is it true that a concubine's status is such an insurmountable chasm that she can only be reduced to a concubine who has to endure hardships for the rest of her life?

Looking at the situation of his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, if the master hadn't still protected her with some affection as husband and wife, she might have been beaten up by the ancestors and his wife at any time. Tanchun couldn't accept such a result. .

"Brother Huan, even if such things happened, they are in the past. What's the point of talking about them now?" Tan Chun calmed down and said calmly.

"Third Sister, I just want to explain a truth. You could have married Brother Feng originally, but you were unlucky and were taken advantage of by some people. But I think with Third Sister's character, why can't you earn it back?" Where is the one that belongs to you?" Jia Huan said every word.

Tan Chun's face became colder and colder, and he looked at Jia Huan: "Brother Huan, do you know what you are talking about? Brother Feng's three wives have been confirmed. Do you want me to be a concubine for Brother Feng? Even if it's me. If you are willing, your husband and wife cannot agree. Do you still want the Jia family’s face? No matter whether it is the second sister or sister Xiuyan, they are them and I am me..."

Jia Huan also sighed, "Third sister, I understand what you are saying. I have said it before. You are no better than the Xue sisters. They can be wives and concubines. Why can't you? It's a pity that you are not lucky. Being a concubine is fine." It’s unacceptable, but what if Brother Feng can earn a job for you?”

Tan Chun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, but then he became sad and shook his head: "I have never heard that an official's concubine can be appointed by the imperial court."

"Humph, just because Third Sister hasn't heard of it, it doesn't mean that she hasn't." Jia Huan curled his lips, "In the twelfth year of Guangyuan, the mother of Yu Qingdong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was named a lady by the imperial court. His mother was a concubine. …”

Tan Chun was startled, then reacted and frowned: "It was because his son had achieved official status and made meritorious service, so he was exempted from the imperial court and granted a imperial edict by his mother..."

In the twelfth year of Guangyuan, when the Mongolian invaders invaded the border area, the Tumuts joined forces with the Ordos to fight all the way to the capital city and surrounded it. The capital city was shaken and the situation was even more dangerous than last year. Jiao fought with the Mongols for several days, and finally defeated the Mongolian army and achieved great success.

Afterwards, Emperor Guangyuan asked Yu Qingdong for rewards and rewards, and Yu Qingdong asked for a royal decree for his biological mother. This also caused huge controversy in the court at that time.

The Ministry of Rites resolutely refused, and even threatened to resign. However, in order to fulfill his promise, Emperor Guangyuan made an exception and made Yu Qingdong's biological mother a royal Shuren. After resigning, the Minister of Rites was vacant for three years, and no scholar was willing to take over. It was believed that Emperor Guangyuan had broken the rules of the court.

 It was not until the death of Emperor Guangyuan, Emperor Tianping ascended the throne, and reorganized the cabinet and the six ministries, that the Minister of Rites was considered the replacement.

"Since the imperial court can grant an imperial edict to Yu Qingdong's biological mother because of his great achievements, then if Brother Feng has made great achievements, can't the imperial court grant an imperial edict to his concubine as well?" Jia Huan said leisurely.

The practice of this dynasty followed the Song and Ming dynasties. In addition to the legitimate wives who were eligible to receive royal decrees, not to mention concubines, even concubines were not eligible to receive imperial decrees. However, Yu Qingdong's exception to the rule and the imperial decree was a special case. Indeed, it was because his merits were so high that it was difficult to be rewarded. , and he also made such a special request to receive such a special reward.

 Tan Chun shook his head gently. Jia Huan said this lightly, but Tan Chun knew how difficult it was.

King Qin Dongqin of Qing Dynasty came to the rescue, which was almost a life-saving move. At that time, the capital city was besieged by 300,000 Mongolian troops for two months. People in the capital city were in turmoil. Even many officials in the court wanted to open the city and surrender. There are five or six troops known as King Qin from the outside, but most of them are thunderous but not rainy. They only dare to wave their flags and shout outside the capital, but there are all kinds of excuses and delays for them to actually engage in battle with the Mongolian army.

Only when Yu Qingdong led 50,000 soldiers from Huaiyang Town (Jiangbei Army) all the way north, and finally started a fierce battle with the Mongols outside the capital, did he boost the morale of the capital city and enable the capital city to be preserved. In the end, the Mongols fought again After suffering a setback, he was forced to retreat.

As a result, Huaiyang Town became famous, but it also encountered jealousy and hostility from many generals in border towns and Beijing camps. As a result, fifteen years later, in the twelfth year of Tianping, three years after Yu Qingdong resigned from the cabinet and took office. , Huaiyang Town was eliminated and disbanded.

The story of Yu Shilang's journey to rescue the fierce soldiers in Huaiyang Town and the capital was also put on the stage by opera troupes and storytellers from all over the country, and was widely sung on the stage and in teahouses and restaurants.

Such a huge achievement can be regarded as a huge wealth, but Yu Qingdong only asked for a royal decree for his biological mother, and still encountered such strong resistance, even causing the Minister of Rites to be stranded for several years without anyone taking office, which shows that this The resistance to this kind of thing is so great.

"Brother Huan, don't use such words to comfort me. We have heard the story of Yu Shilang rescuing the driver since we were children. What kind of achievement is that?" A somewhat lonely smile appeared on the corner of Tanchun's mouth, "Brother Feng No matter how capable I am, from the bottom of my heart, I would rather not encounter such a dangerous thing. Besides, even if Brother Feng really has the opportunity to make such a great contribution, how can I, Jia Tanchun, and I, Jia Tanchun, let Feng do it? Brother, can you ask for this kind of imperial edict for me? How can such a precedent of breaking the rules be set so easily?"

Jia Huan was not repelled by her sister's words, and still shook her head stubbornly: "If it were anyone else, what the third sister said would be reasonable, but Brother Feng is different. How did the Xue sisters get the title of second bedroom? I really thought that. Is it the court and the emperor's compensation for the debts owed to the Feng family? Brother Feng's second uncle died of illness. Huh, isn't that the emperor's compensation for the debts owed by the emperor to Brother Feng's quelling the rebellion and opening the sea? Have you heard of it? Is there such a thing as having three disciples, and the titles of the three houses are inherited? Let alone the Zhou Dynasty, there was no such thing even in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It’s a matter of course! Even the Ministry of Rites didn’t dare to say anything.”

Jia Huan still used his usual half-truth and half-lie tactics to deal with his sister.

He knew that his third sister Jinkou Huixin, it was impossible for you to rely solely on deception, so you must have solid evidence.

Feng Ziying is a famous person in Qingtan Academy. Now the teachers and students in the academy have dug up the roots of his legendary stories and are so familiar with all the details, hoping that they can imitate him in the future. Therefore, Jia Huan puts himself in the academy I processed some of the stories I heard in the book and told them like this, and it really sounded like this.

Tan Chun was a little moved for a moment. It seemed that what Brother Huan said did make sense. What kind of person was Brother Feng? Yu Qingdong was in his late 40s and was the minister of the Ministry of War, while Brother Feng was only 20 years old and was the fourth. If Pinshun becomes the Prime Minister of Tianfu, maybe he will become the Minister in three to five years.
