Chapter 189 Wen Yanbo: If you were a man, that would be a lot(1/2)
good!
When I met Zhao Xu, he looked like an adult.
Both palaces laughed: "Just follow the officials! Just follow the officials!"
Then he ordered people to work out rewards based on the good news.
At the same time, an edict was issued to Qin Feng Road, requiring the local government to submit a list of meritorious officials as soon as possible.
Naturally, as the first meritorious service, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji both received high promotions.
Xiang Zong returned to the Imperial City as envoy to be the governor of Jizhou, and Gao Gongji moved from Xizuofang as envoy to Xishanggemen as deputy envoy.
Two foreign relatives, one became a remote commander in one day, and the other became a seventh-grade senior military attache.
As for their ages, Xiang Zonghui is a little over thirty-four this year, and Gao Gongji is not even thirty!
This is the quality of a foreign relative.
Outsiders cannot envy you.
…
On this afternoon, Wen Yanbo's wife Wang entered the palace with two granddaughters of the Wen family.
The two palaces received the Wang family in Baoci Palace.
Naturally, I also looked carefully at the two young ladies that Wang brought to the two palaces.
He also asked these two young ladies questions carefully.
After Wang was sent away, the two palaces inevitably became suspicious.
"This Master Wen... what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
"Can't the Wen family find a suitable young lady?" Empress Dowager Xiang even murmured.
But it was the girls that Wang brought to the two palaces, one of whom was already over twelve years old.
She is the daughter of Wen Yanbo's youngest son Wen Zongdao. She was born in December of the seventh year of Xining, and is at least four years older than her sixth brother!
"Master Wen is really scheming..." The Queen Mother thought of something and suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"Empress..."
"Has the Queen Mother ever heard of the legend of Shao Zhaoming in the palace?"
"Shao Zhaoming?" Xiang Dowager shook his head: "Please give me some advice!"
The Empress Dowager smiled: "The Empress Dowager will know just by asking the elders in the palace!"
That is a legendary figure!
Serve as the Second Emperor, and your favor will last for three dynasties!
She was named the Female Prime Minister. In the era when the scholar-bureaucrats were kings in the Song Dynasty, the Zhen Temple still made an exception for her and created an unprecedented official position for her: Palace Commander!
He is located above all the internal ministers and ministers. He is in charge of the six palaces and has the authority to take charge of the inside and outside.
No one among the scholar-bureaucrats in the dynasty objected or had any objections!
This speaks volumes about her ability and skill!
When he was alive, even Zhang Xianmingsu had to behave himself in front of him.
Legend has it that when Shao Zhaoming was seriously ill, the ministers sent by the Zhenmiao Temple to deliver medicine even came in groups on the road, causing a flow of people.
After his death, the epitaph was written by a Hanlin scholar and inscribed by the prime minister.
Moreover, she was also the only female official in the Song Dynasty who worshiped Xuan Ma!
What's even more exaggerated is that after Renmiao came to power, he heard about Shao Zhaoming's story, so he posthumously awarded her the title of Taizong's virtuous concubine!
The Queen Mother was thinking about this and recalling the details of her conversation with the granddaughter of the Wen family just now.
"Is Wen Yanbo really so confident?"
That's Shao Zhaoming!
A person who even the queen, concubines, and even the emperor's favorite concubine, and later Zhang Xian Mingsu, had to behave properly.
She is also the only female official who has been specially ordered to wear purple robes for important ministers!
And she was able to do this not because of her looks or her heirs, but because of her own ability!
"The belt is tied up, the feather letter is delivered, and Xuan Yi stands..."
'Then the seal of Zhang Chu was opened, and I paid special respects to the imperial palace!'
In the past years, the Zhen Temple had already made it very clear in the poems written about her worshiping her as the Palace Commander.
She is the most trusted advisor to two generations of emperors.
Regardless of government affairs or military affairs, Taizong and Zhen Temple all relied on it.
It is said that the Alliance of Chanyuan and Zhenmiao dared to conquer personally. In addition to the advice of Kou Zhun and others, the encouragement of Shao Zhaoming also played a large role.
Empress Dowager Xiang listened to the Empress Dowager's reminder and sent people to find the old man in the palace and asked about Shao Zhaoming's deeds.
The Queen Mother also took a deep breath.
Then I thought about the young lady in the palace who looked soft and frail and spoke softly.
His eyes became more suspicious.
With such a person, why would Taishi Wen dare to bet that she could become the second Shao Zhaoming?!
She couldn't think clearly.
…
Wenfu.
Wen Yanbo looked at the two granddaughters kneeling in front of him.
In his life, he married two wives and had more than ten concubines.
They gave birth to more than thirty children!
Excluding those who died in infancy, eight sons and a dozen daughters lived to adulthood.
The third generation of the Wen family is full of descendants.
There are thirty-six grandsons alone!
He doesn’t even know how many granddaughters he has!
Naturally, as a grandfather, Wen Yanbo cared little about his third generation.
Too much!
Except for the eldest son Wen Kangshi and the eldest son Wen Anshi.
All he could know about the other grandchildren was their names. Most of the time, he had to tell them their family background to know their names and rankings.
"Take Shiba Niang down first..." Wen Yanbo said to his wife Wang.
Mrs. Wang nodded, asked the wet nurse to pick up her six-year-old granddaughter, and left.
At this time, Wen Yanbo looked at the little girl kneeling in front of him.
Her black hair reaches her shoulders, her eyes are like autumn water, her skin is like gelatin, and she has cherry lips and a beautiful nose. She looks like a beautiful woman.
The key is - be smart and have a good memory!
Wen Yanbo originally didn't know that his family had such a granddaughter, but after he became aware of it, he ordered his disciples to send all his unmarried daughters and granddaughters to Bianjing.
Then Wen Yanbo discovered the concubine born to his youngest son Wen Zongdao's concubine.
She has a quiet personality and looks soft and weak, as if she can be bullied by anyone.
But Wen Yanbo knew that this little girl had a strong side.
It was precisely because of this that Wen Yanbo was able to discover her.
It was the middle of last month. Wen Yanbo was bored and took a walk in the back house.
He heard the quarrel in a side room where Wen Zongdao lived, and then saw the little girl in front of him, questioning the servant next to Wen Zongdao.
At first, Wen Yanbo didn't care.
He even planned to send someone to reprimand Wen Zongdao - there is no way to teach a daughter, and it is shameless to disgrace an old man!
However, when Wen Yanbo heard that the little girl spit out a string of figures for the daily expenses of the Wenzong Taoist family, and also accurately stated the amount of money that the other party had deducted from her and her mother, he gave up.
All ideas.
Then, Wen Yanbo observed this little girl for a long time.
He discovered the treasure!
A skinny girl who looks weak and can be bullied by anyone.
A little girl who always reads alone silently on weekdays.
A granddaughter of the Wen family who knows how to fight for power for herself and her mother.
A descendant of the literary family who has such a good memory that he can remember most of the numbers he has seen.
Wen Yanbo saw hope in her.
He guessed that the young master would definitely like it.
"Xunniang..." Wen Yanbo called the little girl by her nickname: "There are two palaces in the palace!"
"Sir..." The little girl lowered her head and replied in a mosquito-like voice, "I've seen it..."
"How?" Wen Yanbo asked.
"The Holy Merciful Saint, I dare not make unreasonable comments!" The little girl still answered softly, her voice so quiet that Wen Yanbo had to listen carefully.
