The short-lived warmth, time passed, night fell, the lanterns were turned on, and the snow fell as expected.
"Miss!"
Lao Pu hugged his waist and pushed open the study door, "It's getting late. It's time to go back to the palace. If you don't go back, the palace door will be locked and you'll be in trouble!"
"Fine!"
Gazing across Lao Pu's face, the Empress held Fang Fang's cheek with her jade hand, "In the next half month or so, my sister will have no time to pay attention to you. My brother and I should come back to find you. I have already said everything that needs to be reminded. You can take it easy." It’s better to stay away from it!”
All the forces in the Wu Dynasty had very complicated feelings towards the Zong family.
In the wheel bloodline, the Zong family is a branch of the royal family. It has been divided for too long. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was split due to ideas. In order to belong to the ancestors' surnames, both the Zong family and the royal family used countless methods.
When the Wu Dynasty was first established, if it weren't for the fact that they were separated by Zhongshan and Hejian, the two forces with the same surname would have been the first to destroy each other.
But in the end it was the Zong family who took the initiative to bow their heads and fought with the royal family from east to west, forcing the Shang family in Hejian and the Xia family in Zhongshan to form an alliance. At this point, the Wu Kingdom was promoted to the Wu Dynasty and became the strongest Han dynasty in the north.
The chaotic history and complicated emotions have always made it difficult for the royal family to control its attitude towards the clan and place the clan in its position.
All this happened four years ago.
When the royal family's direct line declined, internal ambitions grew, and the court didn't know how to deal with it, the Zong family took action again to help the empress secure her throne.
Smart people all know that what the Zong family does is not as good-hearted as it appears, but the officials of this dynasty and even the empress must take the credit.
After a series of events, the Zong family became a black hole in the structure of the Wu Dynasty.
If the empress had known earlier that Fang Fang would become friends with the brothers from the Zong family who were studying under a pseudonym, he would never have sent Fang Fang to an academy.
It's a pity that everything is too late. They are not of the same age or in the same shift, but they can still mix together and make liquor. I don't know whether it is calamity or fate.
"Brothers?"
Fang Fang raised his head and looked at his sister, "Since my sister doesn't want me to have contact with the other party, it's better not to have contact with him. There are many things going on behind the scenes, so just find an excuse to refuse!"
The empress shook her head, "No, your relationship will work on your own. There is no need to think about my sister. Besides, you should also see the market more. Your military exploits are enough now. After the spring, I plan to arrange for you to enter the Imperial Academy. This step is over." , now that you have the foundation, no matter whether you choose an official career or not in the future, my sister won’t care!”
The jade hand slipped from Fang Fang's cheek, "You are very smart, but you lack common sense and experience. My brother's brains may not be as good as yours, but your methods definitely have something to learn. My sister is in the palace all year round and cannot keep an eye on you. You, and my sister’s friends are not your friends, you have to have your own social circle!”
It felt great to be cared about. Fang Fang nodded and asked, "If I guess correctly, this winter hunting should be arranged by you, sister, right?"
This year's winter hunt came too suddenly and unexpectedly. A coincidence is a coincidence, but everything that happens to be a coincidence is not a coincidence.
The equation considers many situations!
It wasn't until the wolf disaster appeared and Xiaohu took over the entire camp that Fang Fang was sure that the person who arranged the winter hunt was not harming him, but was helping him to make up for his shortcomings. However, Fang Fang still couldn't guess who this person was. It might be My sister may be Old Man Xia, or even more likely the Chongming Schoolmaster who suddenly appeared.
Otherwise, why would Xiaohu take command from the Li brothers? Why would he suppress such arrogant and powerful generals in the camp?
The empress looked at Lao Pu and said with a sneer, "That's what Lao Pu meant. My sister was just tricked!"
Cough cough cough…
Wanwan didn't expect that the matter would involve him. After experiencing a brief embarrassment, Lao Pu immediately explained, "The old servant just believes that young people should have their own way. The young lady is too protective of the young master, so when others mention Dong Shou, At this time, I half-pushed and half-hurriedly agreed to this matter!”
"Lao Pu is also thinking about you!"
When the empress saw Lao Pu carrying his bag, she immediately changed her tone and said, "Military merit is king. Men in the Wu Dynasty will have to experience this sooner or later. It is better to be exposed to it sooner than later!"
"clear!"
Fang Fang stood up and pushed Lao Pu out of the study, "It's snowing, you should go back early!"
It was getting late and the work of cleaning up the yard was about to be completed.
Feeling exhausted, Fang Fang just wants to find a place to lie down. As for memorials and other matters, we can rest until tomorrow.
…
"Your Majesty, the young master has grown up a lot after going through this!"
After getting into the carriage, looking at the expressionless empress who showed no signs of calming down, Lao Pu quickly began to make amends for himself.
The pattern has nothing to do with the mind. His Majesty just helped him in front of the equation, but Lao Pu didn't feel that the matter had really passed.
"Ba Ling, what's going on now?" the empress closed her eyes and asked.
Grasping the big and letting go of the small is the way of the emperor.
The affairs of the world are in chaos, big and small matters have to be managed, and all the people in the Documents Department have to be eliminated, let alone one person.
Compared to Fang Fang's understanding of Daba Ling, the empress only knew more about history and didn't even know the existence of Daba Ling.
"Daba Ling needs to check the details. It will take about three days to get the details. However, there are rumors in Tai'an City that Bowang Hou and the Hejian Zhang family have already planned for Daba Ling. Bowang Hou wants to build a villa, and Hejian Zhang family The family deals in lumber!”
The land of Gyeonggi is so big, and the closer the land is to Tai'an City, the higher its value.
No matter how poor the world is, there is no honor for being poor.
The space in the city has been locked, and the houses in the inner city have their own owners. Unless you receive a special reward, whatever house your nobles lived in now will be the same house in the future, and it will be the same if it is overthrown and rebuilt.
Therefore, from very early on, villas and villas became popular among nobles, as well as large-scale construction projects outside the city.
For the other five countries, this kind of approach is more important than pretending to show off oneself. After a year of construction, it will not last long, and the maintenance cost is higher. However, the Wu Dynasty has rigid needs. Living in the city during the winter break is like being in prison. Who doesn’t want to live more comfortably?
"If I remember correctly, Bowang Hou has been passed down for three generations?"
Even if the title of the Wu Dynasty is hereditary, without sufficient military merit, the family still cannot escape the fate of being killed in three generations.
In order to continue his family status, Wu Xun often made two preparations, one for military glory and the other for cloth industry. As long as his luck was not too bad, there would be no ups and downs, and the probability of complete decline was low.
Bowang Hou was established at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and has been ups and downs for more than three hundred years. He is also considered a veteran among the noble groups of the Wu Dynasty.
Lao Pu nodded, "I was beheaded once eighty years ago, and now I am the third generation. I am still a little short of extending my military merits. Over the years, the family members have been working in certain positions stationed on the grassland, but they can't compete with others. Now, Everything you do is for the sake of escape!"
Three hundred years after the founding of the Wu Dynasty, there were more than two hundred years of fighting. There were four large-scale enfeoffments. The first time was at the founding of the country, the second time was to capture Qingzhou, the third time was to annex the state, and the most recent one was forty years ago. The battle to protect the country.
The world talks about strength, but who can tell you about qualifications? If you really talk about qualifications, how could the Tang Dynasty end?
"Longmen is short of a deputy general, please go and communicate with us!"
The world does not care about seniority, but the emperor requires balance. After decades of hard planning for the future of the family, the empress cannot just grab it, so she uses the opportunity to exchange it.
