Chapter 318 Year After Year
In the following days, Xie Jian's life became more and more leisurely, and he even had days off. People who didn't know him would think that the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
Only Shen Heng knew that during this period, the emperor had placed many people in important positions in the Shangshu and Zhongshusheng, replacing the people originally arranged by Xie Jian.
In addition, the aristocratic families who had begun to support the emperor had always been dissatisfied with the original orders to benefit the people issued by Liu Yu and Xie Jian. Now that they had such an opportunity to gain benefits and real power, they tried every means to fill the position with their own people in order to undermine Xie Jian's power.
Chen Heng thought of the things that emperors in history had done to concentrate imperial power. The Song Dynasty had made great efforts to weaken the power of the prime minister. As for military power, measures such as the military supervision system, strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches, and separating the generals from the soldiers were used to divide military power, which was not to be mentioned in all dynasties.
I won’t go into details about this kind of thing.
The imperial court was quietly undergoing a major change. Some court officials considered Liu Tang's major reforms to be the actions of a wise ruler, and that he was destined to achieve great things.
After the beginning of summer, the weather becomes hotter and hotter.
"Aheng, look at Yun'er's handwriting, it's really amazing." Xia showed the handwriting of little Yun'er to Chen Heng, who was sitting leisurely in the rocking chair. "He is better than Ajian and Min'er. Min'er can't concentrate on writing at this time."
Chen Heng took it and looked at it. It was indeed good. "These past few days, Ajian has been checking Yun'er's handwriting every night. If it's not neat, he'll hit the palm of his hand. How can you not write neatly?"
He's so young, it's pitiful.
Xia burst out laughing and asked Achan, Zhenzhu and the others to unfold the five paintings: "Take a look at this one."
Shen Heng glanced at it and immediately stood up from her chair. The painting showed five cute and lovely girls around fourteen or fifteen years old. The painting was very realistic: "Sister-in-law, who are these?"
"It was sent by Eunuch Wang. Min'er is already grown up. He said that if we find someone we like, we can get engaged and get married in two years." Xia said happily, "They are both from humble backgrounds. Although they are not from aristocratic families, they are also from a family of scholars."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. In her impression, Min'er was still a child, yet he was even starting to think about marriage. Then she thought, yes, Min'er was already fifteen years old, a young man, and he should get married in two years.
"They are all very pretty. Eunuch Wang found them for Min'er, so they must be the prettiest ones. At least they were Min'er's idea." Chen Heng looked at the five portraits of young girls. They were all beauties with soft features, gentle and graceful temperaments, and seemed to have pretty personalities.
Sexual intercourse is the most important thing for a couple to get along.
"He said that the elders should be in charge. Ajian has already said that Wang Nei Shi can be in charge of Min'er's marriage. Since you don't want to say anything, I will reply to Wang Nei Shi like this." Xia said.
"He." Chen Heng nodded. Wang Nei Shi and Min'er went to Yuezhou. Xie Jian made a complete household register for them. They were all He from the previous generation onwards. No matter how others checked, they would not be able to find anything.
Having said that, the two sisters-in-law carefully looked at the five people in the portrait one by one, after all, one of them would be their son's (nephew's) daughter-in-law in the future.
Just as they were looking around, Ah Chan hurried in and said, "Madam, Lady Xia, people are saying that Northern Qi has invaded Wanzhou again and lost two counties."
Less than two hours after Ah Chan finished speaking, in the afternoon, Shen Heng heard that the emperor had sent a general with 50,000 troops to attack Wanzhou, and it was not Ouyang En.
Chen Heng was still thinking that if this general could become famous in one battle, the court would have another great general, which would be a trivial matter, until Xie Jian came back and said that this general was from the Queen's family and was originally just a small deputy general. He was promoted to general a month ago in order to replace Ouyang En.
Despite this, many people, including Shen Heng, still placed high hopes on this general.
In May, Xie Jian arranged for his elder sister-in-law Xia and Nanny Feng to take Xiao Yuner to Yuezhou secretly.
