Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 120

Xi Guang’s name was given to her by her grandfather.

Her father told her that when she was born, it was dawn, and the first rays of the morning sun shone into the courtyard of the Zhang family. Because there are already three elder brothers above, and the family room reaches her generation, all the sons are born. The grandfather learns that a granddaughter has given birth, and thinks that complementing the word “good” is a blessing for Yu Menting. She named Xiguang after Chaoyang.

The Zhang family is a famous family with a surname of Gao in the north. The scholarly family has a long history. To Xiguang’s grandfather, Zhang Shiyong, was a minister of courtesy, and he was also named the State of Pillar. He was instructed by the first emperor, and Xie Pei assisted the young emperor who was less than seven years old. Today, a few years later, the Zhang family will face the embarrassing situation of such a dilemma.

Two years ago, his grandfather was reluctantly forced to declare his illness because of the trouble of Zuo Yushi’s formation in the Imperial Procuratorate. After returning home, my grandfather’s heart knot remained incomprehensible. In addition to his old age and physical decay, his body gradually deteriorated. Just a few months ago, he passed away suddenly.

When the grandfather gave his official duties, in order to commemorate his many years of serving in the government, a decree, the 14-year-old Xiguang was appointed as the future queen of Wei. Two years later, when the emperor turns eighteen, the two will celebrate the wedding again. The wedding date is approaching. I don’t want this time when my grandfather passes away. The sixteen-year-old Xi Guang will be filial piety for his grandfather for one year. It was delayed.

At the funeral of the grandfather, although the emperor did not personally mourn him, he sent messengers to chase the honorary title and posthumous title for his grandfather. Naturally, the things behind him were extremely honorable and mourning.

But Zhang Ming, Xiguang’s father, was frightened and restless day and night.

Xi Guang knew that his father was terrified.

Since two years ago, when his grandfather returned home from his official duties and became the future queen of Wei, this kind of fear has been accompanied by Ding You’s father at home.

Compared with his grandfather, his father’s official career seemed much more prosaic. He was indifferent by nature and did not seek Rongda. Before Ding You, the official had only been the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and he was only responsible for the various rituals, rituals and music of the imperial court.

The emperor, who is now only eighteen years old, has been in power for four years. Since two years ago, after the regent Pei Xiang went out of the capital, he not only completely controlled the affairs of the court, but also gradually gained power to make the courtiers not Dare to have a slight contempt.

This fear of my father originated from his fiance, who he had never met, the emperor of today.

My father knew that my grandfather had already seen evil against the emperor. The position of my own “Queen” may also be a hidden danger for Zhang’s family and myself, rather than the envy of those unsuspecting people outside, it is a glorious and glorious matter.

Xi Guang’s grandfather, in a high position, was a cautious official all his life, and didn’t want to end up in the hands of one of his proud students.

That student, Zuo Yushi Yang Song, the capital of the Imperial Procuratorate at the time, was at odds with a political opponent. In order to bring down the opponent, he ran secretly, uniting many people, and impeaching the opponent in front of the emperor.

The impeached person was later confirmed and dismissed from office. But before Yang Song had time to celebrate, he also accused the emperor of forming a party in private. The defendant was sued before the emperor. The evidence was conclusive and he even listed a detailed list. , There is no one missing from where, where and who participated in a certain year, month, day, and moment.

These impeachments also faintly involved Xi Guang’s grandfather, saying that when Yang Song was running secretly, he had hinted to others more than once, and this was also a mentor.

Although Pei Xiang was regent for many years, he was the chief assistant, but at that time, due to his three negligence, the courtiers had already seen Pei Xiang’s intentions.

Once Pei left the court, no matter in terms of seniority or prestige, grandfather was the best minister of the dynasty.

Yang Song and Xiguang’s grandfather had a long history, and they were greatly appreciated by the latter, and every courtier knew them. For this reason, those talents will be moved by Yang Song and are willing to follow.

At that time, the emperor did not personally send it down, but instead transferred all the memorials to impeach Yang Song’s party, including questioning him, to Xi Guang’s grandfather, who ordered him to dispose of it entirely.

The grandfather was conservative in his politics and insisted on his own opinions. In the past few years, the emperor began to slowly reveal some ideas for change in military affairs.

In the past two years, after the emperor took office, as Pei Xiang gradually delegated power, the rift between the young emperor and his grandfather, the old auxiliary minister, was actually getting deeper and deeper.

The grandfather, who had been cautious all his life, ended up ignoring him for a while and planted himself on his proud disciple.

In other words, it was planted in the hands of the sixteen-year-old emperor.

Later, Xi Guang also heard a saying that the emperor had actually obtained a secret report long ago, knowing that Yang Song was able to take down his political enemies and secretly run into a party in the name of Xi Guang’s grandfather, but the emperor could not bear it and waited until the last moment. Then he transferred the matter to his grandfather’s hands, and said that he had the sole discretion to handle it.

The depth of the scheming is evident.

It was then that my grandfather had come to understand thoroughly.

The young emperor who was enthroned at the age of only seven years ago has really grown up now. Even Pei Sang has to withdraw to avoid being constrained, let alone oneself

The emperor no longer needs Pei Xiang, and he no longer needs himself.

That old era has completely passed away.

Xi Guang remembers clearly that night, the lights in his grandfather’s study kept going all night.

The next day, my grandfather turned up and suggested that the matter should be investigated by the Dali Temple, and the conviction should be what is right. Afterwards, his grandfather wrote a letter to his official duties.

The emperor will play. Soon, with an imperial decree, Xi Guang became the queen of the future.

She has to watch the funeral for her grandfather for one year, so the planned wedding date will also be postponed.

Xiguang’s elder brothers who have already gone into official positions are as worried as their father Zhang Ming because of the death of his grandfather.

Her two elder brothers both went through the imperial examinations. Before Ding You, they all worked as petty officials in remote places far away from the capital.

This is what my grandfather meant. Although the grandfather himself had a prominent position, there was no prominent person in the clan.

He regretted his fame for a lifetime, and he didn’t want to be criticized for using his power to promote the children of the Zhang family.

Three months have passed since the funeral of the grandfather, and the elder brothers have already returned to their hometown. Because of the special status of the future queen, Xi Guang is still staying in the mansion in Beijing, and her father is with her in Beijing.

Xi Guang is beautiful and beautiful. She has been influenced by the family style since she was a child. She is all involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is favored by her family. Her only regret is that her mother passed away at an early age. Very good, so there is no sigh of life experience, originally very cheerful and lively, love to laugh all day, only in the past two years, feeling the changes in the family, this smile no longer, and slowly calm down.

My father’s health is not very good. Recently, because of the funeral arrangements and the overwhelming thoughts, he contracted the wind and cold a few days ago and has not recovered.

This evening, she and Erniang took the fried medicine to the study room and served her father to take it. Looking at his father’s frown, she was extremely distressed and couldn’t help saying, “Daddy, my daughter knows that my father’s heart is in the garden, why? From now on, I will be planting beans in Nanshan without leaving Beijing to return to my hometown. It is better than being trapped in the capital like this and not being happy all day long.”

Zhang Ming shook his head, “You are the queen of Wei and the future, with such an identity, how can father take you out of Beijing”

Xiguang looked down for a long while, and finally plucked up the courage to say, “Daddy, my daughter also knows that the emperor is polite on the surface, but in fact he is not at home, it is just for others. Others envy me, but I don’t care about the position of the queen. He really married me if there is anything good, and in the future, as long as he intentionally, he can destroy me for any reason. The grandfather has served the court for most of his life and is loyal to the emperor. There is no credit or hard work, but the emperor How did he end up like this? I feel chilled when I think of it. I don’t think the emperor really wanted to make me a queen. I think he had different ideas at the beginning. Taking advantage of this opportunity, why don’t dad go up and talk about the country. Don’t leave it for a day, and you can’t tell him to delay the affairs of the country because of me. Maybe he is expecting your father to speak like this. When I answer, I will accompany my father back to my hometown to grow melons and beans. It’s no better than worrying about coming day by day.”

Erniang didn’t expect her to be so bold, her eyes widened, and she looked at her in surprise.

Zhang Ming was startled slightly and looked at his daughter.

Xi Guang has just turned sixteen, which is the most beautiful year of jasper in a girl’s life. A few days ago, she removed her hot filial piety, but she was still white. She was lined with plain clothes and her eyes and teeth became more and more bright, and her jade wrists and snow were like a budding bud.

She opened her eyes wide and looked straight over.

“Daddy sees me so much, what my daughter said is wrong”

Xi Guang was not afraid, and asked rhetorically.

The only daughter in the family has been raised like a pearl and jade since she was young, so she was so boldly spoiled that she dare to say such things.

The young emperor in the palace was magnificent and wise, but his iron fist was not inferior to that of the former emperor. He was even more forbearing and deep-minded than the former emperor’s threats.

Sometimes I think, if my father had taken the initiative to write a letter to the official post without knowing the current affairs, I still don’t know what will happen now. I think too much, and even shudder.

Zhang Ming frowned and said, “This is what you can say. Don’t talk nonsense.”

He was extremely dear to this daughter, so severely taught him, it was the first time in his life.

Heiguang’s eyes gradually burst into tears, and the teeth clenched his lips tightly for a moment, and said, “Daddy, I really don’t want to be a queen. Although I haven’t seen the emperor’s face, I know he’s not a good person. , If I really enter the palace, with so many eyes watching, father and brothers will be more and more difficult in the future. It doesn’t matter how I go back, I can’t bear father and brothers walking back on thin ice, shuddering.”

Thinking of her father and elder brother’s love for her, crystal clear tears rolled down her face.

Erniang hurried over, while comforting in a low voice, while taking a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Xiguang took it by himself, lowered his head and wiped his eyes indiscriminately, raised his head and continued to look at his father, with a trace of stubbornness in his eyes.

Facing such a charming daughter, a father, his heart softened.

Zhang Ming sighed long, shook his head and said, “Silly daughter, if you are a father, it is just hard to violate the emperor’s destiny. Your suggestion just now, Dad has not thought about it. It seems to conform to the emperor’s heart, but it is absolutely impossible. Dad is true. On the grounds that your grandfather’s death delayed the state affairs, please make your majesty another queen. If you think your majesty will respond to him, you will definitely be criticized. So you will never agree. Not only that, but you might also suspect my Zhang Jiaxing’s method of indulging in arrest. With Bosch’s sympathy. This method does not work. Fortunately, it’s only a year. It’s better to wait for your filial piety period to expire. Dad will find a way to see if he can ask for accommodation from King Jin. King Jin and your grandfather have been in the same dynasty for many years, you He knows how his grandfather is an official. If he can help him, it will be far better than Dad’s own words, do you understand?”

Although it has been two years since the King of Jin left Beijing to join Ganzhou, the emperor’s kindness to King Jin has not diminished, but has been better than before.

At the beginning of last year, the princess gave birth to a daughter. Upon hearing the news, the emperor not only sent the **** Cui Yinshui abroad to bring many gifts, but also gave the newly born little girl a princess, named Changning, Shiyi Wanhu, and courtiers at that time. I thought it was arrogant, and talked to dissuade me. The emperor replied that when I was seven years old, I became a master of help, so I can’t say that I am a daddy. After I took office, the Taifu was unwilling to take credit. He went to the edge of the bitter cold and guarded the territory for my great Wei. Who of you can achieve that he is now a middle-aged woman, but I am just giving her the title of princess, and it is also worthy of you. Speaking of the ministers, they were speechless at the time.

“From now on, you will stay at home with peace of mind and stop thinking about it. Everything has a father.”

Zhang Ming finally comforted his daughter.

Naturally, Xi Guang had also heard about the King Jin and his wife. He knew that he and his wife were cousins, and the two of them were like gods and goddesses, fascinated by them. After a moment of trance, he sighed, “Daughter understands. It was the daughter who said the wrong thing, so she won’t dare anymore.”

The following spring, the palace.

On this day, Cui Yinshui rushed to the imperial study room and reported with a smile, saying that King Jin and his wife had taken the little princess of Changning, and the group had already traveled to the land of Gyeonggi, and they would be able to arrive in Beijing three or two days later.

Time flies so fast, that night, the sixteen-year-old young emperor went to Pei’s house in a micro suit, hovered all night, and left at dawn.

Everything seemed to be just yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Soon, he will be able to see his parents again, as well as his sister who is now two years old.

I don’t know if the father’s demeanor is still the same, if the mother is still so squeamish, in front of the father, her eyes are red, her eyes are crying, her nose and her tears are shed.

There is also a younger sister, the younger sister that he has imagined countless times through the hands of a painter.

The nineteen-year-old young emperor couldn’t restrain the excitement in his heart. On the handsome face that was easy to show his anger and anger in front of others, he was full of smiles, and he threw his pen sharply, and got up from the imperial case.” Send someone to greet you.”

He paced for two steps, “Send the Book of Etiquette, and ask him to take someone to meet him personally.”

“Yes” Cui Yinshui smiled, “Master Lishang has this intention, but he didn’t dare to go out of Beijing without authorization. Just now he was about to ask Long live’s will, so the slave and maid would let people pass the order down.”

Cui Yinshui hurried out.

The emperor had no intention of reviewing the memorials anymore, walked to the window, opened the window, and spit out a long breath toward the courtyard, when suddenly he thought of something.

Zhang’s father and daughter didn’t know that the conversation they had in the study at their home last year was recorded in the book that night and sent to him in secret without missing a word.

As Zhang Shiyong’s granddaughter said, he originally appointed his granddaughter as the queen because of checks and balances.

Three years have passed, and the court is in his control as early as possible. Now it doesn’t matter whether you marry or not.

Married, based on the current situation of the Zhang family, the woman will give birth to a prince in the future, and she will never have to worry about her relatives’ authority. It was a queen candidate he agreed with.

If you don’t want to marry, you can change the edict. No worries about finding a suitable reason.

That woman is about to show her filial piety now.

Just a few days ago, his father Zhang Ming really submitted a memorandum, listing his women’s deficiencies, saying that they were incompetent and unworthy, and could not stand as a queen. It was the strategy of the world. .

Zhang Ming must have greeted his parents before submitting this memorandum.

He knew that his parents must have returned to Beijing this time because of this.

The granddaughter of the Zhang family who doesn’t look down on the position of queen and doesn’t want to marry him, does he marry or not?

Just before the early morning, there was a torrential rain in spring, and the sky was clear after rain. In the imperial garden, the sun was shining and the vegetation was dew.

The young emperor’s eyes fell on a delicate canna that had been discounted by the torrential rain outside the window. After a long time of concentration, the two heroes wrinkled their eyebrows unknowingly.
