By the time Jiang Tian returned to Dongning Mansion, most of the previous bustle had been settled; the election of the Supreme Council of Donghai Grand Shrine had also been completed. The office represented by Mrs. Rong Hua also successfully won two of the seats. Don't look at these two seats, there are only twelve seats in the Supreme Council of Tokai Grand Shrine.
These are twelve permanent seats with final voting rights and unlimited supervision rights; in addition, there are thirty-six seats with the right to observe and propose, secondary voting rights, and non-permanent directors who rotate every ten years; they are also the executors of the daily operations of Donghai Grand Shrine. and responsible persons, able to reach the highest level.
Therefore, the twelve permanent directors do not manage the specific affairs of Donghai Grand Shrine; rather, they represent their respective forces, exchange and compromise interests with each other, or perform supervisory and restrictive functions; such as appointing or impeaching corresponding personnel. Changes, delegation of inspections and supervision.
If the office can get two seats, it will undoubtedly gain more bargaining chips and resources for exchange of interests; coupled with the permanent directors from Xinzhou and other places, who are naturally inclined to the office's attitude, it will undoubtedly have a more stable and more powerful leadership in the Supreme Council. right. Therefore, Shen quickly pushed for the passage of the new bill.
That is to say, the Supreme Council publicly issued a resolution, emphasizing once again that the Donghai Grand Shrine will never be allowed to directly participate in the internal conflicts of the succession of the East China Sea princes and vassals, or in the disputes of mutual friction and conflict; and reiterated that the Donghai Grand Shrine will always give priority to respecting the East China Sea Grand Shrine. The position of the imperial court;
Of course, this only represents a clear attitude and formal stance on the official side of Donghai Grand Society; but it does not prevent some people from doing their own thing secretly, or acting in violation of the rules. After all, the strength background and interest trends represented by Donghai Grand Shrine are too complicated.
Needless to say, beyond the sphere of influence and influence of the office alone, there are hundreds of various business branches and permanent facades throughout China. And even if it is an official office, it cannot directly issue orders to the branches of Donghai Grand Shrine without suitable reasons and opportunities.
It is necessary to pass the resolution reached by the Supreme Council and rely on the existing multi-year operation process within Tokai Grand Shrine to make in-depth adjustments and corrections. Therefore, the focus of this old-fashioned resolution is to provide legitimate reasons for the official faction within the Supreme Council.
To restrict, weaken and attack those conspiracy groups and careerists who secretly want to use the resources and channels of the East China Sea Grand Society to do something in the chaos caused by the celestial changes; they may even stand behind them to provide support, source From the princes and vassals in the world.
In this way, once any domestic vassal family reveals clues of being suspected of being involved, they can be aware of it and even block it through the channels of Donghai Grand Shrine. If you dare to openly resist, you can activate the feudal alliance treaty of the year and call on the foreign princes to "attack it together."
Of course, it may not be possible to completely ban and eliminate it, but it can be used to drive it underground and become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, unable to obtain the identity and convenience of public activities. At the same time, it is undoubtedly helpful to legitimately enhance the authority and influence of the office.
Of course, compared to Donghai Grand Shrine, which is further promoting self-examination and inspections and making internal corrections, the vassal officials and people on Yizhou Island are more concerned about a happy event related to the official office. The eldest son of the royal family married a relative of the Queen Mother of Yao and Shun, and the daughter of the Jingzhao Shen family became the concubine.
At the same time, on the grounds of happiness, a pair of sisters adopted by the concubine, Mrs. Rong Hua, were consecrated to the sixth class of the Dongfu side; therefore, although it was only a wedding ceremony to marry Mrs. Side/Zuo Shuyi, not the prince's wife /The specifications of the main wife, but it is still very busy.
Not only did he give wine and meat to officials in various states, counties, villages and vassal residences as usual, but also to all the elderly over sixty years old. He also pardoned some prisoners with minor crimes and reduced the prison terms of supervision and labor for a certain period. He also sent people to convey that the princes and vassals in the East China Sea felt that they were all happy. Although there is no need to send special envoys to express congratulations, gifts must be returned.
At the same time, this result also made some vassals affiliated with the government feel a certain trend and flavor. Because the daughter of the Jingzhao Shen family that the prince married was undoubtedly the same ancestral cousin as the current concubine of the princess, the Shen family; the pair of Fengyi sisters who were canonized were also from the Shen family.
Therefore, no matter what, it seems that as a concubine, the Shen family will continue to dominate the harem and control the ancillary properties of the palace. Not only is it unshakable, but it is also possible that with the help of the concubines around the prince, she can continue to control the family affairs of the next generation. When the head of the room is in power, he exerts influence and maintains power.
Therefore, the three supervisors and four leaders, who were important officials of the public office, also under the overwhelming request of the officials, began to send their confidants and nephews to secretly visit the families of the vassals, ministers, and vassals inside and outside, and collect the birth certificates of young women. portraits; even sending people to Xinzhou, Fusang, Haidong...
It was just to prevent the possibility of the Shen family's relatives/concubines taking over the power in the future. Of course, even if Jiang Tian got the inside story, he would just smile and deny it. Because he was more concerned about a rumor that was circulating on Yizhou Island.
The content generally states that the prince of the imperial family, who had not been seen in public for many years, went abroad to study/practice under the guidance of an expert. Therefore, he not only solved the root cause of his frailty and illness in his early years, but also obtained extraordinary means. During this period, there were traitors in the office who colluded with each other inside and outside to cause chaos.
Not only did he secretly poison the contemporary lord of the palace, but he also pretended to be the prince as a monster, persecuted and expelled the loyal ministers and righteous men in the palace, gathered treacherous villains as his minions, and issued many perverse edicts; fortunately, Mrs. Rong Hua and the lord Zhongliang resisted while Against fate, he retrieved the crown prince.
Finally, a huge turning point came to bring order to the chaos; and the prince led all the troops loyal to the palace to wipe out all the evil spirits entrenched and hiding in Yizhou. At first glance, it looks like a product that has been patched many times and made public.
Therefore, almost on the third day after Jiang Tian returned to Dongfu, he saw Shen Xin waiting for him in the Dongfu dormitory where the prince stayed and was decorated with lanterns and decorations, like a finely bound gift bag, washed and fragrant. She was wearing a green skirt woven with gold mandarin birds, and three treasure hairpins were inserted across her temples.
Her skin looks snow-white, her face is as delicate as a flower, and her eyebrows are delicate. She retains the innocence and sweetness of a child, and the charming emotions of a young woman; she also has a certain elegance and tranquility influenced by a scholarly family. Just in the slight movement of his eyes, there is almost no detectable cunning.
Although it looks like an exquisite large-scale doll, it sits quietly in the gold gauze tent with a peacock holding a flower. However, the moment he saw Jiang Tian, his attachment and admiration turned into something like a mountain falling apart; it was as if he was melting into the surging eyes that were as bright as the moon and as warm as water.
After completing the ceremony of choosing the tent, tying the hair, and tying the headband, Shen Xin, who was wearing a green wedding dress, suddenly wrapped herself around Jiang Tian like an octopus, and whispered like orchid: "Do you like... Do I look like I'm wearing a wedding dress?" After Jiang Tian nodded slightly, she suddenly stood up.
With her smooth and slender feet, she stepped on the pomegranate flowers on the brocade ground, and gently twirled her body a few times like a dance. Lead it upward until everything is completely displayed in front of Jiang Tian without any obstruction.
He was immediately attracted and indulged in it, among the large pink areas... The night was deep, and the lights were dancing, and the light and shadow were intertwined...
So, after the first watch of the child's day, the two new ministers were waiting in the side courtyard beside the dormitory hall, sleeping carelessly for a long night; and it was no surprise that they received the long-awaited summons. , and then went to the soup pool behind the dormitory to serve the prince for a bath.
At the same time, Mrs. Rong Hua, who is currently the most popular head of the palace and is appointed by the crown prince to assist in the internal affairs of the palace, has just picked up the last pile of things to be dealt with; but she can't help but hold on to the smooth jade I felt a little sleepy on my forehead.
Because, since she returned to Dongning Mansion, she has handled and dealt with more affairs these days; perhaps more than she experienced in the first half of her life. What's more, in addition to internal affairs, according to the prince's request, all memorials and reports received in the Xuanwen Hall of the previous dynasty must be sent to her.
Among them are mainly the merit rewards and pensions after the repatriation of each army, and the subsequent transfer and deployment of personnel; the conversion and allocation of tribute and miscellaneous services to the feudal family; after the election of the Supreme Council of the Donghai Society, the properties and properties of the permanent directors who fled Her subordinates were chasing after her; this made her a little overworked for days.
As a result, Shen almost never left the Liwen Hall of Futing Palace except for basic sleeping, eating and bathing. Despite this, through the "catching on the wind" after reorganization and rectification, she still vaguely heard some rumors with mixed reviews, for example, she had ambitions to be like "the Queen Mother of Yao and Shun".
This is not a good comment; the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun oversaw the five dynasties and supported the seven emperors. It can be said that she worked hard and at the same time attracted the attention of the world. Even though she defended and rectified the royal family internally, she suppressed powerful officials from various families externally, and vigorously promoted young talents from poor backgrounds.
However, there is still no way to escape from the political criticism among the government and the public, such as being "absolutely obsessed with power", "female protagonist before the court" and "unsympathetic to human feelings"; even relatives and the family are implicated in disguised form, while generations of descendants can only study and study classics, which is useless. They have great talents and ambitions, but their career prospects are hindered/avoiding suspicion.
It was not until the moment he died of physical and mental exhaustion that he was sublimated into the recognized "Yao and Shun among women" in the remembrance and remembrance of all his subjects. Naturally, Mrs. Shen did not want to trace back and repeat the mistakes of the controversial ancestor, but she had no way to explain or defend herself;
The next moment, she suddenly heard something. However, the female officer on duty outside did not move at all. Instead, she quietly opened the curtain and walked away slowly. Then, Jiang Tian, wearing a loose nightgown, appeared in front of her, and she was so shocked that the folded ties were scattered on the floor.
"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Shen couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes with some sadness, anger and helplessness, but her face flushed like a rosy cloud and she said righteously: "Tonight is your wedding day; how can you trespass..."
"Because they couldn't bear it anymore, they fell asleep again." However, Jiang Tian waved his hand and said, "So I couldn't sleep and had nothing else to do, so I came to see you. Of course, I'm here too. You say goodbye in advance..."
"What, so fast?" Mrs. Shen, who was still full of heart, couldn't help but lost her voice: "The prince has finally returned to the palace. Please stay here for a little longer to ensure a long-term plan..."
"I'm just here to repay my karma, and I really can't delay for too long." Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "So, in the future, I have to ask my wife to take charge of all the important relationships related to the office, and to guide and educate Xin." Mother."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel anxious. No longer caring about the defense of men and women and the inferiority of elders, she grabbed Jiang Tian's arm, then stumbled and fell into his arms... Wait until Mrs. Shen regained consciousness and could not help but sit on his lap.
