Chapter 815: back to the palace
Chapter 815 Returning to the Palace
Although Chu Nanzhi knew in his heart that Lin Jinxiao wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the elites of the noble families, such an unfair reward would not only make the Yin and Ji clans angry, but the ancestors would also feel chilled:
"Husband, don't think about it anymore. I heard that in order to prevent the Yin and Ji families from being too arrogant, the ancestors, even though Yin Taiwei was an extremely human minister, he only gave him a marquis family, and Ji Shangshu even more. It's a grievance. Although the Shang Shuling said that the position is light, the ancestors only let the first emperor reward the earl,
Over the years, the disciples of the Tang family and the Yang family have been promoted one by one, but the two uncles are still dedicated to helping the late emperor and ancestors to calm down the court and support you to enter the capital. This is the ending. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Nanzhi's persuasive words fell, Lin Jinxiao got up and hugged her, went straight to the couch, put her down, and said very gently: "Okay, let's rest earlier, Yin and Ji Don't worry about the matter, you have your own plans for your husband."
Chu Nanzhi didn't want to care about these **** things, if she wasn't worried that he would have a rift with her ancestor, and she would be embarrassed as a granddaughter-in-law, she wouldn't want to ask about it.
Lin Jinxiao saw that she was very dissatisfied, so he lay down, hugged her, and patiently explained: "I understand your worries, if we only care about the small family now, even if we reward the two uncles with more land and money It's no big deal, but what we are facing now is the entire imperial court,
Think about it, when the Tang family and the Yang family were still alive, the two uncles had already gained power by relying on the prestige of the emperor's grandmother and the late emperor. On the contrary, it will become more and more unscrupulous, how to implement the New Deal at that time. "
After pondering for a long time, he said again: "It's not easy to be a king. There is no absolute fairness in this world. Although they didn't directly participate in the aunt's matter, they would never want to see the New Deal go smoothly. If the two uncles continue to Protecting the aristocratic family and obstructing the New Deal not only has no chance for rewards, but for the sake of the world, I have no choice but to fight hard."
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Nanzhi realized that this guy still had that stern temper.
Although he is grateful for the Chu family's great favor for him, there is probably another more important reason, that is, he feels that even if the Chu family's relatives have status and honors, they will not influence the court situation.
Balancing the court has always been something that emperors are passionate about.
Thinking about it carefully, Yin Sinian and Ji Huaishu are indeed dreadful. With the title of Marquis and Earl, they have already gained power. If they are sealed again, the next Tang family and Yang family may appear again.
Thinking of this, she has to admit that the little boy is more sophisticated than herself in politics, and has a more thorough perspective.
"Since my husband has made a decision, I will be my husband and wife. It's just that my ancestors are old, and now they are the law of the country, and they are saddened to give up the eldest princess. My husband must not hurt her old man's heart again."
Chu Nanzhi exhorted in a deep voice, then stopped talking, and quietly closed her eyes.
The reform of the official system was brought up by herself, and now she can only go one way to the dark.
If the current empire allows the aristocratic family to control the career path, it is indeed difficult to see a way out, and she has to do so.
Regardless of the age, reforms will inevitably lead to contradictions, which is unavoidable.
Now, she only prays that Princess Jinshu and Yin Liuxuan, the descendants of Yin and Ji, can understand this truth, and persuade Yin Sinian and Ji Huaishu to help Lin Jinxiao carry out the New Deal.
It's just that this night, the two of them had a quarrel after all, which was a little unhappy.
In the next few days, Lin Jinxiao went to the Examination Institute of the State Government to personally inspect some of the theories answered by the students, and was immediately shocked by the brilliant articles. It seemed that he saw the hope of the revival of the empire, and he became more determined to reform the government. determination.
Accompanies Chu Nanzhi to bury Chang Yanjue's coffin back to his hometown, settles everything, and only stays in Luyan Port for six or seven days before ordering everyone to return to Beijing in a hurry.
When we arrived in Dejingling City, we had the first snow since winter.
When Yin Enci learned that his grandson and grandson-in-law were returning to the palace, he ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet in advance. Braving the flying snowflakes, he led Yin and Ji's relatives to wait outside the palace gate early.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure again, Yin Enci was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and before she stepped forward, he staggered to meet her, hugged her tightly, and called out happily: "Girl Zhi, the Ai family is finally going to You look forward to coming back."
Recalling this year, the grandson's wife not only successfully brought the great-grandsons out of danger, but also satisfactorily fulfilled her entrustment to allow Prince Xie to return home safely, and even helped her grandson stabilize the rear.
She saw all of this, her wrinkled hands kept patting Chu Nanzhi's back, and she kept comforting: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
The quadruplets also came forward to surround the two of them, calling "great-grandmother" affectionately.
"Aijia's great great-grandson, great great-granddaughter."
Looking at the four little ones who had grown a lot taller, Yin Enci's face was filled with tears and a smile, as if he was overjoyed.
Looking at the two tightly wrapped babies held by the wet nurses, she stepped forward with tears in her eyes, caressed the little ones full of love, and urged her impatiently: "Let the great-grandmother see you!" Hug the little great-grandson and the little great-granddaughter."
Looking at this warm scene, Lin Jinxiao smiled lightly and exchanged glances with Chu Nanzhi, then took her into his arms, and signaled to everyone: "It's cold outside, protect the ancestors and go back to the palace first."
"Yes, yes, Aijia is confused."
Yin Enci was worried that the little ones were catching a cold, so he hurriedly ordered: "Ai's family held a family banquet in Huaqing Palace, Master Chu and everyone came from afar, first enter the palace and drink a few cups of wind-breathing wine to warm up. Ah, the Ai family has already sent people to set up houses for each location, so there is no need to go to the post house to stay, and later on, the Ai family will order people to lead everyone to identify the doors."
I didn't expect the old ancestor to arrange these trivial matters so thoughtfully, Chu Nanzhi was moved to support Yin Enci, and replied in a gentle voice: "The old ancestor should be tight-fitting, these things can only be handled by the daughter-in-law when she returns to the palace. Yes."
Yin Enci shook his head and smiled, "Well, it's just a few words, Jin Shu and Cen An are all in the capital, let them worry about it, you, this year is not easy, how could the Ai family have the heart to let you Just returned to the palace and continued to work hard."
"The emperor's sister-in-law didn't know that you had been out of Beijing for a year, and the emperor's grandmother was very worried. When she learned that you were coming back, she was very worried."
Lin Jinshu also stepped forward to take Chu Nanzhi by the arm, and said with a smile: "The imperial sister-in-law has worked hard for the state affairs, and after going through twists and turns, you are not in Beijing, so I have no choice but to preside over and settle down for the king and Xiaoping Ningwang's family."
Looking at the glorious Lin Jinshu, recalling the agreement they had made when they left Beijing, she lived up to everyone's expectations and defended the capital, and she also successfully completed the task.
The two hugged each other deeply, and Chu Nanzhi said sincerely: "Jin Shu, thank you for your hard work."
She has long regarded this girl as her close friend, and she only hopes that this girl will not have any quarrel with her in the future.
