Chapter four hundred and seventy-three: the ancestral mansion
The next day, the Spring Festival finally arrived. In the entire Yecheng, including the palace, there were lights and decorations everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere. Civil and military officials also presented gifts to the palace. However, Yuan Xi had already issued an order in this regard, and the value of the gifts should not exceed ten gold. Otherwise, whether they flatter or compete in various places, they would inevitably make the rule uneasy. For Yuan Xi, the stability of the people at present is more precious than any treasure.
However, in this festive atmosphere, something unpleasant happened.
Yuan Xi, who had just finished worshiping his ancestors, sat in the master's seat of the study in Huagai Hall with an ugly face. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang sat on both sides, and Yuan Ping and Yuan Mai were located below.
In front of Yuan Xi, General Di Qing, the Yulin Guard, was standing in front of him with a serious face.
"That is to say, this Liu Yuan, during the Spring Festival, openly snatched the girl on the street and beat someone's father," Yuan Xi said in a slightly cold tone.
"It's true, I didn't want to go too far, but Liu Yuan was arrogant and I was helpless and could only temporarily press him into prison." Di Qing felt a little embarrassed.
"This bastard" Yuan Tan said angrily.
"Liu Yuan is the nephew of his mother and queen. He had been a little evil in the past. Unexpectedly, when he came to Yecheng, he dared to do whatever he wanted." Yuan Shang said seriously. In addition to civil and military officials, there were many relatives. Liu Yuan was the nephew of Liu. He had always been in Zhongshan Kingdom. Although he had no official position, because of the Liu family, he also got the title of Anyi General.
"Di Qing, you did a good job. If you don't do this, you will not be worthy of being the General of the Yulin Guard. I will immediately put you in prison," Yuan Xi said seriously.
"Thank you, the king" Di Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"King, why do you tell my mother that Liu Yuan is very pleased with her mother?" Yuan Mai said worriedly.
"This lonely man will tell her own mother," Yuan Xi frowned.
"King, I think this matter must not be so unresolved. My Dayan has now established laws in all aspects, but there are no restrictions on the royal family's relatives. Since the royal family enjoys the highest honor, it should be more strict with itself. If only Liu Yuan is like this, what if it is the descendant of the Yuan family in the future?" Yuan Ping said seriously.
Yuan Xi nodded immediately and said, "Brother Ping is talking about the key point. In the pre-Qin period, the Han Dynasty had the position of Zongzheng, and fully handled all the problems of the royal family, took charge of the clan list of the nine royal family clans, compiled jade certificates, and recorded the legitimate and illegitimate children of the royal family, name, title, life and death time, marriage, posthumous title, burial, etc. I saw that this matter could not be delayed anymore, and it must be managed immediately."
"The king is wise and the ruler is not established, and the royal family is in chaos. Only by thoroughly building the rules, whoever violates them in the future will have reason to follow and laws to deal with," Yuan Mai nodded and supported.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Xi turned to Yuan Tan next to him and said, "Brother, Zong Zheng is usually a member of the royal family. Others do not have this qualification or courage. Brother is the eldest son of my Yuan family. He has the highest prestige and prestige at present. I think you will be the first Zong Zheng of Dayan!"
"Ah! This, how can this work?" Yuan Tan was shocked. Zong Zheng's position has a lot of power. It can be said that it is a knife on the heads of all royal relatives in the future. Anyone should respect him three points after seeing it.
"Haha, why should you be modest, brother? You should be the most suitable position," Yuan Ping immediately supported.
"Yes! The most important thing for a dynasty is to cultivate descendants. If you don't give them any rules, you will probably start to have a wine pool and a meat forest," Yuan Shang said with a smile.
"Brother, you'll take it as your choice," Yuan Mai also smiled.
Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi's face that was not like a joke, and immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I dare not refuse the orders of the king. I am willing to be the first Zongzheng of Dayan. I will definitely ensure the reputation of the royal family and will never be tainted."
"Okay" Yuan Xi smiled with satisfaction. In addition to the fact that only Yuan Tan can serve as Zong Zheng at present, and because of the special nature of this position, it is neither civil nor military, and can only rely on him. This can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility of Yuan Tan's revival on the other hand. This is a kind of protection for Yuan Tan and a reasonable use.
"Master, my brother has made arrangements, how do I arrange the third brother?" Yuan Mai said excitedly. Seeing that the eldest brother and the third brother came out, the whole family was harmonious, and the management of Dayan together made him happy from the bottom of his heart.
"No, don't, your third brother, I want to have a good rest now, read a book, and accompany An'er." Hearing this, Yuan Shang hurriedly said.
"Haha, please rest assured. Let my third brother spend time with my nephew first. When the time comes, I will never forget it. Didn't I say that? The world of Dayan requires our descendants of the Yuan family to work together," Yuan Xi laughed loudly.
"The King of Kings" Yuan Tan and the other four immediately bowed.
"With Zongzheng, of course, there must be a separate institution. Guyan is called Zongren Mansion. Tomorrow, Guyan will ask the Shangshutai to arrange a few people for his elder brother. In seven days, Guyan will give Gu a complete plan. Brother, what do you think?" Yuan Xi asked.
"I obey the order" Yuan Tan immediately clasped his fists.
"King, what should Liu Yuan do?" At this time, Di Qing asked in a dilemma. This matter must always have a result, and it is impossible to keep it closed.
"This bastard has lost all the face of the royal family and I wish I could kill him immediately. Fortunately, you appeared in time and the consequences are not too serious. Beat him 50 yards, and don't let him return to Zhongshan Country. This is the case in Yecheng, and it's still OK there," Yuan Xi announced.
"promise!!"
"Empress Dowager, arrive" At this time, a loud voice came in.
Yuan Xi was stunned. It seemed that the mother knew about it. She immediately stood up and looked at the Liu family who had already walked in. They saluted and said, "Greetings to the mother."
"Meet the Queen Mother"
After Liu nodded, he looked at Yuan Xi and said seriously: "King, I heard that Liu Yuan was arrested."
"Yes, Mother Queen, he openly robbed the girl from the street and was taken down by Yu Linwei. I was just about to go and explain it clearly to Mother Queen Queen," Yuan Xi replied.
"No, you don't have to tell your mother that you should do whatever you want to violate the law and discipline. Later, my mother did not want to plead for him, but told the king that if you do this in the future, the king would not have to worry about anything," Liu said seriously.
Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly flashed, and Yuan Tan and the other two were indeed stunned. Isn't the mother the most protective of her?
After talking a few words, Liu took his people away. After coming outside, Liu's personal female official said in confusion: "Empress Dowager, why are you like this? As long as you speak, the king will definitely agree."
Liu smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand, Ai's family is protecting Monk Tan'er."
The female official "two marquises" said in confusion.
"As the saying goes, no one knows his son, and his mother is more talented and has a profound scheming. He will definitely achieve great achievements throughout the ages in the future. But because of this, his heart is even more ruthless. Monk Tan'er can come out, because Xier has his own ideas, and the other is for the Ai family. If the Ai family ignores the rules because of this, the family affection between the mother and the son will be reduced, and it will inevitably involve Monk Tan'er. They must not have any more trouble." Liu said with concern.
"The Empress Dowager is wise, how can one mere nephew compare to two marquises?" the female official immediately admired her.
"Tell those people that the world is Xier. Whoever dares to influence Xier's great cause? No matter who the Ai family is, they will personally cut him off." Liu's eyes seemed to show the ruthlessness of the General's Mansion again.
"promise!"
Not long after, Yuan Tan and the other four were about to leave in the Huagai Hall and were preparing to attend the evening banquet. Yuan Xi stood alone at the entrance of the hall with joy on his face.
"The King, the Queen Mother is indeed fair," Zheng Chun said in admiration.
"Yes, my mother has also changed. As today, the place is convenient, people are harmonious, and the world must be lonely. Haha, Yuan Xi laughed loudly.
