Seven years of peace!
Xu Lantiao gave birth to the eldest princess for Xie Yu!
Perhaps suddenly realizing Xie Yu's "potential", Queen Mother Cao agreed to the courtiers' proposal to draft Xie Yu.
In ancient times, drafts, especially those of little emperors, had great political significance.
This is equivalent to telling the world that the little emperor has grown up and has a family and a career. It is a very simple truth.
Sure enough, some courtiers began to discuss the topic of the queen and pro-government.
But Xie Yu understood that with the birth of the little princess, another generation arrived in the palace, and King Yan and King Yong began to fall silent.
Since Zhang Maoze, who had recently expressed goodwill to Xie Yu, could not stop him, the number of bed armors began to increase again. This may be another trap set by the Empress Dowager Cao.
It’s stable, isn’t it?
As the case may be, Xie Yu was prevented from going to see his own show, and he watched helplessly as many of his ministers, who didn't know whether they wanted to be promoted or expressed their loyalty to Xie Yu, were demoted.
Xie Yu could only secretly lament that it was a pity that his "normal students" who had hinted in advance and expressed their loyalty to Queen Mother Cao in advance were taken care of by the local government.
Naturally, the care is taken care of on the surface.
Sometimes the choice is indeed important. Empress Dowager Cao demoted three batches of "royalists" who did not know whether they were true or false.
Many "normal students" who expressed their loyalty in advance took advantage of them. Many of them had already begun to advance to the government due to their political achievements, and there were also some who entered the capital, where they could cooperate with Li Wei in doing things.
The person who has been most affected in the DPRK is undoubtedly Qin Siyuan, the Right Prime Minister who represents the radical left forces.
Empress Dowager Cao, who was angry with Qin Siyuan, also arranged a good job for him, that is, let him, a tough fighter, go to the north to talk with Liang Guo about the issue of yearly coins that represented the humiliation of the Wu Dynasty.
In the court, Qin Siyuan had to go at the instigation of Empress Dowager Cao.
Xie Yu wanted to open her mouth several times, but due to Empress Dowager Cao's recent power of saying that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, she finally did not open her mouth.
It’s better to just hang on and live for now!
Just like what Li Hongzhang did to the Xinchou Treaty back then.
As a result, wait for Right Prime Minister Qin Siyuan to negotiate his return and negotiate a Blackwater Alliance similar to the Tan Yuan Alliance.
It was originally just a trap created by the late emperor, but under the propaganda of thoughtful people, a split occurred within the left-wing militant faction.
Qin Siyuan, the right prime minister who was originally meritorious, was first demoted to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, seeing the internal conflicts of the left wing expanding, Qin Siyuan, the right prime minister, had to resign and retire due to this situation.
However, before Qin Siyuan resigned and retired, he secretly gave Xie Yujin a copy of the information he collected on the Liang State during the negotiations in Heishui, especially on the six states of Qingyun.
However, Xie Yu did see a newly built Jurchen country called "Jing" in the Dadong region of Liang State, which represented the Khitan people.
You must know that the Jurchen Wanyan Aguda and Nurhaci in my memory are both characters in textbooks.
Coupled with the Jinxia regime in the northwest, which is like Xixia, this, this, vaguely familiar pattern, something seems wrong!
Forget it, Empress Dowager Cao has the final say if she has any troubles, so it's better to just be content now.
After that came the female talent show, which I won’t mention anymore, and finally it was the eighth year of Taiping.
Empress Dowager Cao unexpectedly did not choose a queen surnamed Cao for Xie Yu. Instead, she chose the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, surnamed Guo.
The son of a peasant family, he later opened up wasteland and engaged in business to provide education for the children of the family.
This fifth-rank official was also a second-level Jinshi during the reign of the first emperor. Later, he was listed as a son-in-law by a merchant. It was also a good story in Beijing.
But it can only be said that his family has some money, he is in the Ministry of Rites, and he is relatively noble in the officialdom, but he does not have any other noble status.
Thinking about it later, this may be what Empress Dowager Cao meant. She didn't choose a Cao family member to be Xie Yu's queen. She may also understand the principle of prosperity and decline.
When she was in power, she was able to keep the Cao family wealthy, but people only live a hundred years. After a hundred years of her, the Cao family, which was too prosperous, would most likely decline from prosperity and be targeted by other noble families.
If she didn't choose the Cao family, Queen Mother Cao would naturally not choose a wife family force for Xie Yu who had a strong back and might compete with him for power.
Power is a matter of selfishness.
Under such circumstances, Empress Guo, who was from a relatively small family and had little power as a wife, was chosen by Empress Dowager Cao.
A complicated wedding!
It was also the first time for Xie Yu to see the somewhat cute little round-faced Queen Guo.
Yes, maybe the time has come. Although Xie Yu was in control, he still got the first hit.
Ten years of peace.
Xie Yu was crowned at twenty, and Queen Guo gave birth to Xie Yu's eldest son.
Voices in the DPRK that hope Xie Yu will take charge are rising again!
In these years, Empress Dowager Cao has held power, eliminated dissidents, and coupled with the efforts of Xie Yu's Huangpu students and normal students, banditry has been basically eliminated, roads have been smoothed, improved seeds have been selected, wasteland has been reclaimed, prices have dropped, and civil society has been restored.
Empress Dowager Cao's prestige has greatly increased. As a powerful woman, she enjoys the flattery of the people, cracks down on powerful people, and gives ordinary people more opportunities.
It cannot be said that Xie Yu did not contribute to it.
Naturally, when you use it as an umbrella, you must exert your full power as an umbrella.
However, Queen Mother Cao's behavior made many powerful people panic, thinking that Queen Mother Cao shared too little. They believed that the world's wealth was limited, and if the people took more, they would take less.
This time Xie Yujiaguan and the birth of their eldest son just found a political excuse for them.
King Yan and King Yong, who were already worried about their hair, naturally took advantage of the situation and jumped around enthusiastically!
Moreover, with their help, the news of letting Xie Yu take charge quickly spread among the people.
The incident took place in a very short period of time and fermented so quickly.
The Queen Mother Cao naturally understood what was going on, but more than half of the noble ministers had ideas, which the Queen Mother Cao could not suppress.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Cao could only give up her idea of slacking off in politics and continue to work hard overtime.
While beating King Yan and King Yong, he also relaxed his attitude towards Xie Yu.
As time passed, coupled with physical inconveniences, Empress Dowager Cao saw some things more clearly.
It’s just a matter of rights….
Every time I heard the supervisor say that Empress Dowager Cao was approving Zha Zi, it was midnight again.
Lying on the bed, Xie Yu, who just wanted the benefit of sleeping alone, would feel that the quilt was so warm.
As for the matter of pro-government, Xie Yu actually didn't bother to look at it, as long as he could play alone.
This matter, due to the pro-government incident, lasted for more than half a year, until the imperial concubine Cao Xixi gave birth to the second prince for Xie Yu, and the beautiful girl Yu Jieyu gave birth to the third prince for Xie Yu. In addition, Xie Yu refused to express his attitude, and the matter was considered slow. Slow end.
Why did Your Majesty surrender?
In fact, Xie Yu's move saved many people. Otherwise, with Empress Dowager Cao's rebellious temper, I don't know how many people in the family would be empty.
Who knows his sacrifice!
Guo or Xie Yu was so good as a puppet. After this cooperation, Queen Mother Cao saw the beautiful hair on her head in the mirror.
I also thought about whether I suppressed Xie Yu too hard.
After all, Xie Yu has been on the throne for almost ten years now.
In the past ten years, he has been so temperless. This is not a qualified emperor!
Not only that, but I’m also worried!
People's thoughts are always changing. In the past, they were afraid that Xie Yu's ability would affect her power. Now, after consciously controlling everything, they despise Xie Yu's inability.
In this way, parents do not allow their children to make friends when they are students and find traces of puppy love and that kind of murderous expression.
But after I just graduated and started working, I had the attitude of wishing my children would get married on the spot, have children right away, and have grandchildren right away.
This sudden change is not only a classic example of survivorship bias, but it is also suppressed by two words "filial piety".
But they all start from themselves. I don’t know when I will be able to put myself in others’ shoes.
Reporting good news but not bad news has become a derogatory term.
