The matchmakers went back and forth quickly, implemented the necessary procedures, and the two set a date. In contrast, Yang feels that this wedding should be the most worry-free. The other party is a distant nephew. Shen Wen married in the past just to make it easy. Don't make it public.

Shen Wen didn’t care about the wedding at all. She wanted to go to the south as soon as possible, start building ships, and go north along the coast, find that Hong Er, and pull him in... Whatever dowry or betrothal gifts, you won’t have to stay with the real gold and silver from the Li family. The support will do. So she especially supports the Yang family and asks everything to be simple.

Ping Yuan Hou also wanted to get things done as soon as possible, so Zhang Yunzheng took some people to open up the island. He has been suspicious in his life, and if there is no place to retreat, he always feels unsteady. He hopes that this marriage will not attract anyone's attention, especially the new emperor's. It is best to go to the sedan chair and carry people into the mansion at that time, just like a commoner family.

Ping Yuan Hou called Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunzheng, and Zhang Yunzhao into the study, and said to them: "In this situation, Yunzheng can't enter the genealogy first." If Pingyuan Hou's second son married, it could not be on such a small scale. Since Zhang Yunzheng is going to leave, he shouldn't recognize this son, otherwise it will be more troublesome.

Zhang Yunming put an arm around Zhang Yunzheng's shoulder and said, "It's okay! I know who he is, his family tree or something, and I will add it in a few years."

Zhang Yunzheng said, "I don't care. But..." He turned to Zhang Yunzhao and said, "You kid must call me second brother! You understand!"

Zhang Yunzhao rolled his eyes secretly, and in front of his father, it was hard to say anything, and he said, "Second brother."

Ping Yuanhou looked at his three sons with satisfaction: "You have to help each other in the future, don't forget about anyone..."

The three of them looked up at the sky almost at the same time, and Zhang Yunzhao said, "Father! We are all grown-ups!"

Ping Yuan Hou glared: "Get out! What an adult looks at or a kid!"

Hou Ping Yuan talked about the genealogy, and went to Li's family. Zhang Yunzheng's marriage is near, and Li is a little unhappy. She felt a little awkward when Zhang Yunzheng skipped her choice of a daughter-in-law. Even if the other party was a lifesaver, she couldn't kiss her emotionally. The marriage wasn't going well, she only felt sorry for Zhang Yunzheng, but she didn't feel that she had treated Miss Shen Er badly. Employed as a wife and rushed as a concubine, she stubbornly had a slight dissatisfaction with Miss Shen Er.

Ping Yuan Hou knows Li's mentality well, and persuades him: "Don't worry about it, they will leave soon after they get married. They will go there for at least a few years, not seeing and not worrying..."

Li is about to cry: "They want to leave my son, they have to leave after only a few days! What's wrong with this!"

Ping Yuanhou couldn't elaborate, so he had to say: "Aren't there still Dalang and his wife? I think Yunzhao is also older. You can show him."

Li clenched a fist and said, "This time I have to stare wide and watch it!"

Zhang Yunming had just held a large-scale wedding with the five princesses. She was afraid that Zhang Yunzheng's heart would be unbalanced, so she took Zhang Yunzheng out to drink, and asked Zhang Yunzheng about what he needed. Zhang Yunzheng actually wanted to give Shen Wen a fair and honest wedding, marrying Miss Shen Er as the second son of Ping Yuan Hou, but the new emperor's understanding of them made Shen Wen nervous, and Zhang Yunzheng also knew that this matter should not be foolish. The new emperor watched Shen Wen's tactics. If she were to deal with Miss Shen Er's marriage, it might not be regarded as publicity and provocation by the new emperor. No matter how good-tempered the emperor is, he probably won't let it go.

When Zhang Yunming asked him, Zhang Yunzheng said unceremoniously: "I want more things. First of all, I have to ask the craftsmen we are looking for if they are willing to go to sea with us. They should be back from Yancheng now. Once you go to the island, you have to build roads and houses, and you need people. She said that the island can be bigger. At the beginning, land can be used to attract talents. In the future, people can participate in urban construction in exchange for land...."

Zhang Yunming listened to Zhang Yunzheng's endless talk about the plan to go to the island, and sighed enviously.

Because he didn't want to hold this wedding, Pingyuan Hou's Mansion only prepared a yard with three or four banquets, ready to entertain the family at that time. Outside to attend the wedding under the name of Zhang's "far away" nephew, only Zhang Yunzheng's master Xiaoyao Gong. He returned to Beijing with Ping Yuanhou. When he arrived outside the capital, he saw that many people were welcoming, so he didn't follow into the city and went wandering by himself. He went back to Jiangnan to meet the old official Li, reported the victory to the old official Li, and repeatedly boasted to the old official Li of the extremely fragrant wine he had drunk in the Yan's wine cellar. The wine bug is moving, and I want to taste it too. He asked Mr. Xiaoyao to find the three officials of Yan to see if he could build a wine cellar. The Li's restaurant and restaurants spread all over the north and south, which should impress each other.

Duke Xiaoyao planned to go to Yan's Academy after attending Zhang Yunzheng's wedding, but not long after he arrived in Beijing, he caught up with the emperor who once again praised the people who had contributed to the fight against Beirong through his big marriage. This time, It also includes female family members. The three sons of the Yan family were all awarded. The official Yan said in a book that he encouraged the resistance to win the title of Wenhua Pavilion. The two officials of Yancheng participated in the battle of Baocheng in Yancheng. The three officials have won fame for offering wine cellars. Xinzhenbeihou Shenyi's wife Liu, second son's wife Yan, Zhenbeihou military teacher Ji Wenzhao Ji Yan, and the two ladies of the Yan family may help their husband protect the family. To defend the country, or to be given a phoenix crown and xiamen because of chastity and virtue.

Many people think that this is a reward for the new emperor's support to the Yan family, and a reward for the Zhenbeihou Mansion to treat Queen Su well. Some courtiers thought that the new emperor's reward was too much! It seems that the new emperor is not tough at all, and it will be difficult to master courtiers in the future. But who knows, it’s not over yet. Just three days before Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen got married, the new emperor made an decree to designate Miss Shen Er as the "Huixin County Lord", praying for the people, and redressing grievances for her father and brother. People should be treated by royal courtesy. He also named Zhang Yunzheng, the house nephew of Zhang Jiayuan who had no position, as the "Marquis", in order to reward him for leading a hundred people to ambush and defeating the merits of the Northwest Army of Beirong! At the same time, it was announced that the emperor and empress would personally attend the wedding of Zhang Er Gongzi and Miss Shen Er.

For a moment, Jingcheng was stunned. Although Miss Shen Er went to the temple twice and even went to the palace to call for grievances, she did not deserve to be named the "county chief"! This must be done by Empress Su forcing the new emperor to do it! At the beginning of the wedding, Queen Su started blowing pillow breeze! In order for the husband of Miss Shen Er to have a name, even Ping Yuanhou's nephew from a distant house was sealed off! The new emperor is too close to Ping Yuan Hou! Moreover, the emperor and empress have to go to observe the ceremony in person. Second son Zhang is just a distant relative of Ping Yuanhou, okay?

Su Chuanya ran into the imperial palace to find the imperial study room under the pretext of seeing Su Wanniang. He wanted to see the new emperor. The new emperor was waiting for Ji Wenzhao, who had come to Beijing to attend his wedding and had not left yet, to play chess, so he asked Su Chuanya to play chess. Came in. When Su Chuanya came in, seeing the new emperor who was smiling gently at him, she felt sad for a while and cried loudly: "I want to be a civil servant! I want to be a civil servant!"

The new emperor had an insight into his broken little heart, and comforted: "You are too young. Miss Shen Er will leave the capital after getting married and go to the south with her husband. You study hard at Yan's Academy, after the middle school..." Because you are My relative, maybe it's choking...

Su Chuanya tearfully swears: "I will follow her after she became a kiss!"

The new emperor immediately decided that he must continue to urge Su Chuanya to fight in the imperial examination. If he is successful, give him an official as soon as possible, and must not let him run with the second lady of the Shen family. He shook his head deeply: "That's too unrestrained, how can I chase and run with a shelf..."

Su Chuanya immediately said: "You were chasing my sister back then!"

The new emperor pressed his temple: "Go and tell your sister, I have a headache, let her prepare some Tianma soup for me."

Su Chuanya said: "I need to talk about this."

The new emperor said: "Of course, this is a secret! I won't tell others, you go!"

Su Chuanya left without getting what he wanted.

Ji Wenzhao arrived soon. The two people saw the gift. Time was precious. They immediately started playing chess. They played chess while discussing things. Speaking of the canonization given by the new emperor to Miss Shen Er, Ji Wenzhao laughed and said, "Miss Shen Er got it. This title does not necessarily remain."

The new emperor said indifferently: "If you don't stay, don't stay. One of them is the county lord of Huixin and the other is Jiangonghou. They traveled all over the world. The places they found and managed were all the land of my court."

Ji Wenzhao laughed: "You count her, be careful that she goes to Su Niangzi to sue her."

The new emperor raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What did she tell me, I gave her family and sealed her husband's position, I bullied her"

Ji Wenzhao nodded: "You are bullied!"

The new emperor finally smiled: "Then she can't help it."

Shen Wen really sighed in the room: "I knew he had a flowery intestine! Sister Wanniang must have been eaten to death by him!" Not as much as she sighed, Yang brought three daughters-in-laws to find Shen in a panic. Wen: "Wen'er! The emperor and the queen have to watch the ceremony! Your dowry! Your wedding gown!"

The dowry is much less than that of Shen Xiang. Not to mention that Shen Wen is the least lazy to make needlework, but the bride has to embroider the wedding gown. Where did Shen Wen patiently embroider with only red brocade material. If it is usually a wedding that can be fooled, now that the empress is coming, naturally there will be others with him, and it will not be good to wear such a simple wedding gown, not to mention that Shen Wen has been made a county head!

Shen Wen pouted and said, "What's wrong, I think it's good!"

Yang said to the Liu family Yan family and the newly married Zhang family, "Listen, how can this be done?"

Liu said carefully: "Or, we will help my sister..."

Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't do it! I don't embroider much better than her."

Zhang Yunjin smiled and said: "She has to embroider this wedding dress herself. It is her younger sister who wants to marry the second son of Zhang, not someone else..."

After hearing this, Shen Wen stopped letting others help, so he was cheeky, only wearing clothes made by himself, let others talk.

The emperor gave Miss Shen Er the county head, it was on the eve of Shen Wen's makeup. In a hurry, not many people could rush to add makeup to Miss Shen Er, so they could only rush to attend the wedding to get close to the empress.

Therefore, Shen Wen's makeup ceremony was still quiet, and the two houses were full on the wedding day.

Queen Su arrived at Zhenbeihou Mansion early in the morning, and she must watch Shen Wen sort out and get on the sedan chair. The two were sitting in Shen Wen's boudoir, and Shen Wen asked others to wait outside first, and then he whispered to Su Wanniang.

They all knew that this was the last time they had been sitting here. They were sad, and the two of them held hands, a little teary.

Shen Wen asked Su Wanniang: "Are you happy?"

Su Wanniang nodded shyly.

Shen Wen sighed: "The new emperor is not easy."

Su Wanniang smiled: "You also know him, loves to play chess, and it takes a few steps to take a step, which is exhausting."

Shen Wen vigorously pulled Su Wanniang's hand: "You are protecting him now!"

Su Wanniang sighed: "He is very pitiful, he can't go anywhere, and he has to get up early every day." She looked at Shen Wen sadly: "Do you have to go?"

Shen Wen nodded: "This is something I want to do in my life. If I think about it, I have to do it anyway, otherwise it will look down on Ji Guoshou."

Su Wanniang cried: "Then we won't see each other, the eldest sister and Zhang's sister will have to leave..."

Shen Wen was also in tears. As soon as she got married, Shen Xiang would go to the northwest with the third prince. Zhang Yunjin and Shen Zhuo would accompany him. Once he left, there were only the fifth princess and Su Wanniang in the capital.

Shen Wen took Su Wanniang's hand and said, "I often visit you before I leave."

Su Wanniang nodded her head vigorously and said: "Okay, I'll give you a sign, you must visit me often..." But then the two of them thought about this at the same time and cried to each other.

Old Master Hou looked at the second son Zhang who was coming to greet him, and a sense of familiarity that seemed to have met once again surged. He frowned and thought, but Shen Jian on the side saw this and was busy interrupting him with other things, disturbing the old man's thoughts.

Ping Yuan Houzhen felt that this was another trip to him by the new emperor. The royal furniture and large porcelain vases in the mansion had not been sorted out yet, and hundreds of people came to watch the ceremony. With the arrival of the imperial palace, the more people came. People think this is really a weird wedding. According to the wealth and glory, it can’t be compared with the previous four weddings. The bride and groom’s clothes are very simple, but the queen rides in the car and escorts the bride with Shen Qiang, the fourth son of Zhenbeihou. Along the way, the emperor sat as the head of the guest, and half of the civil and military officials came to observe the ceremony. He was not low-key at all!

Li was extremely depressed in the unprepared hustle and bustle-this is simply showing the ugliness of the family, so that everyone sees such a wealthy Pingyuan Houfu, but they have such a simple wedding!

In the chaos, the rose came to Ding Nei Attendant, who was standing behind the new emperor, and pulled his sleeve. When Ding Nai waiter turned around, he almost cried when he saw that it was a rose. Seeing the emperor sitting in front of the rose, unable to speak, she stuffed a small bag into Ding's hand and slipped away.

After three prayers, the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, and the banquets in the Pingyuan Houfu were almost out of the courtyard. The restaurants of the Li family in the city ran back and forth to transport wine and vegetables. The emperor and the groom, the third prince, the second son of the Shen, the third son of the Shen, Mr. Zhang and the others staggered their cups and were drunk. They were carried back to the car by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen Er. The Queen and Shen Qiang took care of him. Mr. Zhang took them back to the palace with someone.

Ding Nai waiter waited until the new emperor was asleep, then returned to his hut and opened the small bag given by the rose. Inside were many small black and brown grains, which should be flower seeds. When they were guarding the imperial tomb together, the rose said that they saw many mountain flowers at a time, and Ding Neishi interjected a rare sentence: "I like flowers." I wanted to come to the rose and remember it.

Ding Nai waiter carefully divided the flower seeds into several portions and prepared to plant them in front of his house so that they could be seen every time they went out and opened the window. I just don’t know what kind of flowers are, whether there is a kind that can grow bigger and bigger, live for decades, and let myself see it for a lifetime...

Late at night, Zhang Yunzheng returned to the courtyard of the new house full of alcohol. He went to take a shower, only put on a coat, and entered the door of the bridal chamber.

Seeing Zhang Yunzheng's chest half exposed, Shen Wen became very nervous when he thought of what he was going to do. He sat on the edge of the bed and stammered: "Are you drunk... go to bed first..." Don't do that...

Zhang Yunzheng smiled: "I especially like you saying that!" He rushed over.

Shen Wen shouted: "The light hasn't gone out yet..."

Zhang Yunzheng backhanded: "It's not easy yet"

In the darkness, Shen Wen exclaimed: "You...you slow down..."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Okay, slow down..."

Shen Wen cried: "You...lie..."

Zhang Yunzheng's gasping voice: "Where there is this is slow...fast is like this..."

Shen Wen yelled...

After Shen Wen got married and returned to the door, Shen Xiang, the third prince, and his wife, Shen Zhuo, were about to go to the northwest territory of the third prince. In order to bid them farewell, Zhang Yunming packed Li's Huanyin Pavilion. The men said goodbye to the wine together, and the women also had a table. Five princesses and Shen Wen, now Mrs. Zhang, and Yan were all at the table.

In the middle of the banquet, the third prince got up and opened the window, and said to Shen Jian with emotion: "Do you remember that back then, we were here to watch the fire entering the capital?"

Zhang Yunming Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Zhuo also walked to the window and were silent for a moment.

There was a sound of chariots and horses outside the pavilion, and they all looked at it at the same time, but it was Ding Nai waiter who got out of the car, and the new emperor and empress Su in plain clothes came down behind. Everyone hurriedly went downstairs and saluted. The third prince said to the new emperor: "I entered the palace yesterday, why did you come out and bring so many people together?"

The new emperor glanced at the back of Queen Su who was going upstairs, and whispered to the third prince: "Your younger siblings cried all night yesterday. I won't be able to come."

The third prince thought hard, and didn't remember whether Shen Xiang had cried, so he had to say: "It's okay to come, let's have a few drinks together!"

The new emperor nodded and said, "Great! It's a pity that there is no wine from the Yan's wine cellar, which is really good!"

The third prince said to Shen Jian: "I always hear Yan's wine these days, it belongs to your wife."

Shen Jian said hurriedly: "No, no."

The new emperor sighed, and Shen Jian said hurriedly: "But my wife can help me get some."

The new emperor nodded and said, "That's good. If you come, please serve Ding Nai, don't tell the queen, she doesn't like me to drink." Several people laughed, only Shen Jian's smile was a little fake-who believes

Shen Xiang was still in tears when she saw Su Wanniang. The two cried out about the past. The others naturally cried with them. When they broke up, the women's eyes were swollen.

Shen Xiang and Zhang Yunjin saluted the fifth princess Su Wanniang and Shen Wenyan, but Su Wanniang choked and said: "You must come back, we want to get together again."

Everyone said that the two sides were reluctant to part with each other. No one knew that this was the last time they got together like this in their lives.

Soon, the weather started to fall, and Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng, Shen Jian and Yan Shi left the capital. They walked very quietly. Both Shen Wen and Yan Shi were women disguised as men, riding horses with Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Jian to the southeast coast. The horse team left, and Shen Wen's farewell letter to Queen Su was sent to the palace.

Queen Su cried bitterly after reading the letter and let the new emperor coax all night.

An Lehou wrote to her to return to Tianyuan and asked her daughter-in-law to meet with her son Zhenbeihou.

The courtiers all opposed, saying that they did not agree with the ancestral system, but Ye Shilang said that he should take care of the human relationship. The new emperor even listened to what Ye Shilang said, and the wife of the North Hou of Yunzhen, the Liu family, went north with her son and lived in Yancheng.

The once prestigious Zhenbei Hou Mansion fell apart. Old Hou Ye and Yang Clan returned to the countryside. The eldest son Shen Yi and his wife stayed in Yancheng. Since there was no war, Shen Yi asked to be disarmed and returned to the fields after fifteen years. After obtaining the emperor's approval, he took his wife Liu and five sons back to his hometown to serve his parents. The years in the country were dull, and his sons were very noisy. Just after the death of Lord Hou, Shen Yi went to the island with his family.

After Shen Yi left, the name of the Shen Jiajun ceased to be the garrison of the Imperial Court Yanbei Field.

Miss Shen, Shen San and his wife and the third princes took root in the northwest.

The second son, Shen Jian and his wife, and Zhang Er and his wife in Pingyuan Houfu, implemented novel political and economic measures after going to the island.

From then on, the emperor always followed the development of Huixin County Lord and Jiangonghou. The court official quickly noticed the emperor’s preferences, and various news were passed into the palace in time:

Jiangong Hou did not take the title of island lord, and Shen Erguan was the island governor. Most of the islanders were retired soldiers from the Shen Jiajun, with one hundred people as one residence, and the corps leader was elected as an officer, just like a military system. …

Gold mines have been discovered on the islands, and trade exchanges between islands and land are frequent. …

The roads on the island are wide and straight, the houses are neat, and many businesses have already opened business in the past. …

The island has a pleasant climate, the rice can be double-cooked, and the grain is rich. …

There is a fort at the port on the island. When the gun was tested, the world was screaming...

"Your Majesty! Jiangonghou has the unruly heart!"

"Your Majesty, it's such a fertile soil, it should be reclaimed as a country!"

"The people who went there came back and said that no one understood the will of your majesty there. They listened to the words of the island governor. Your majesty, this is a rebellion!"

"On the side of the couch..."

Emperor Wen sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "The most important task today is to reduce the number of refugees." Emperor Wen looked at Ye Xiang, "What does Ye Qing think?"

I can tell you why you told me yesterday that I prepared a big article... Ye Xiang said: "The minister thought that we should encourage businesses, hire refugees, sort out farming mulberry..."

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, I have emphasized agriculture and business in China since ancient times. It is because of the disharmony of heaven and the way of businessmen. Merchants are chasing profits and deceiving their hearts, and they must not be entrusted with important tasks!"

Ye retorted: "Not only the businessmen have the desire for profit, but the officials also have the desire for profit. People are selfish and cannot avoid the vulgar. The key is to restrict the system and prevent it from overflowing. In the past, although it did not emphasize business, it can collude with the government and business to exploit the village. The same is true. Now, the key is to purge the rules and encourage businesses with legal profits to obtain the well-being of the people. Why not?”

Someone immediately said: "No! It's a matter of morality and justice, not trivial! The ancients said..."

Emperor Wen sat on the emperor's seat, his eyes staring at the shadow on the sundial, he seemed to be listening, as if thinking, all the courtiers used all their best and loudly argued, all wanting to get the attention of the new emperor, and no one knew that Emperor Wen was thinking. I wrote half of the chapter of "Machiavellian Theory" in my study, conceiving words and sentences...

When Ye Xiang exhausted his tongue and finally convinced people for the most part, Emperor Wen said that he would adopt Ye Xiang's words and let everyone retreat. He didn't take the imperial palace, and walked back to his palace with Ding's servant. Outside the partition wall, people’s conversations were heard. The Royal Academy is under preparation. Emperor Wen thought that in the near future, when the academy was completed, the collection of books should be at least one million. He would be able to get close to the water tower for a month, and he could borrow books at any time. The verbal battle on the court was forgotten.

Before he reached the gate of his palace, he smelled a scent of flowers and a faint smell of food. Emperor Wen asked the servant Ding: "What kind of flower is this smells good."

Ding Nei's attendant muttered: "I'm down... I don't know..." He didn't know the name of the flower seeds given by Chinese rose, how good they are now. Maybe it's because the chief attends these flowers. During the lunch break today, he took a nap and dreamed of the rose. In the dream, the rose was paddling a canoe, on the sea...putting pigs! He yelled "Chinese rose" boldly in his dream, and then woke up, saying that it must be a dream!

On the remote island, Rose is taking his pigs to the coast on the sea. He is very lazy and doesn't want to do things like reclaiming wasteland, building roads and bridges, or going to the field for exploration, just like playing with pigs. Take a bath in the sea. The blue sea, the white beach, the sea breeze is soft and warm. He vaguely heard someone shouting to himself, looked around, and muttered: "Little Dingzi, I haven't forgotten, but I found you a lot of flower seeds, and I will have someone bring them to you tomorrow..."

Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen stood on the reef on the beach, looking at the canoe from a distance. Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "I never thought that pigs would swim in the sea."

Shen Wen laughed: "People who belong to the pig should understand pigs."

Zhang Yunzheng squinted at Shen Wen: "It's not a pig, I don't understand it naturally."

Feeling the danger, Shen Wen left and said, "You are so modest, you can't forget your roots..." Before finishing speaking, he turned and ran, and ran back to their simple bamboo house in the middle of the mountain. Zhang Yunzheng naturally chased it all the way, perhaps because he was dissatisfied that he still did not run as fast as Shen Wen. As soon as he entered the house, he turned into a hungry tiger and avenged Shen Wen's attack on him...

Emperor Wen walked into the palace gate, and Su Wanniang, wearing half-old clothes, greeted her and said with a smile: "Today you come back late, eat quickly, or you stay up late to write a text, and you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Emperor Wen asked: "I have decided to write, there are so many, can I pretend to be sick tomorrow?"

Su Wanniang said: "No."

Emperor Wen sighed: "You always say that, you can't agree with me once."

Su Wanniang smiled and said: "I know if I agree, you really won't go to court, then everyone will not scold me to death."

Emperor Wen said: "Just go back wherever you are, and it's not a big deal..."

Su Wanniang squeezed Emperor Wen’s arm hard: “What’s not a big deal, from then on, it’s not a big deal if the king doesn’t come early, don’t want to be lazy...”

Emperor Wen called Qu: "I just want to finish writing my book. How can I be regarded as a slacker and wronged me! I am the most diligent person in the world with two roles."

Su Wanniang relented, letting go of Emperor Wen and said, "Okay, okay, please take a day off tomorrow. Sleep is more important than anything else."

Emperor Wen was happy: "He who knows me, the lady is also."

That night, Emperor Wen struggled with writing and went to bed after midnight. Empress Su did not make people cry, saying that Emperor Wen was uncomfortable and could not go to court, and she did not allow the imperial doctor to enter the hospital to diagnose the pulse of Emperor Wen, until the Emperor Wen woke up at noon, saying that he was okay, and the imperial doctor returned without success. In the palace daily notes, the past and the past were written down. Empress Su was criticized for being favored and arrogant, interfering with the political affairs, and because of Emperor Wen's weakness, she couldn't stop it.

Ji Wenzhao became the prime minister when "Might and Strategy" under the pseudonym of Fool was published. This book summarizes the various strategies of power struggles throughout the ages, using historical examples to show the darkness in the power struggle, and the spearhead is directed at the imperial power. The book was printed by Ye Family Library, and it was strongly criticized by the court officials. They all said that it was a mockery of the past and wanted to be detrimental to the present. Therefore, the book should be listed as the Ye Family Library.

It stands to reason that Ji Ying should seize this opportunity to fight Ye Xiang, but he actually defended the book in the courtroom. People think that he must have read the book too, learn and use it to make a name for himself. After all, what benefits the banning of a book can bring him is worse than to gain the favor of the other party, to be convenient for others, and to give everyone a good impression of forgiving opponents, he is really cunning!

Therefore, the evaluation of Ji Wenzhao in historical books has always been mixed. Some people say that he is a talented genius, reformed the official system, eliminated the corruption and bloat in the original system, and used the law and the people's surveillance to regulate the behavior of officials, setting the first for a generation. …Some people also say that he used power to deceive the Lord. Taking advantage of Emperor Wen’s weakness and incompetence, relying on the support of his mentor, he ran his own power network, became the authority, and the power was overwhelming, completely subverting the ancestral imperial rule and turning the imperial court into a court. As servants of the people, I'm really sorry to the ancestors and ancestors...

People's views on Wendi were full of sympathy at the beginning. Emperor Wen ascended the throne with a disabled body, and lacked confidence from the beginning. If you don't rely on Yan's family, you have to rely on Lu's family. He married a very jealous queen, used various rewards to please the military commanders and ministers in the court, and then he became a powerful man...

But everyone has to admit that Emperor Wen's luck is really great! Not to mention that it was impossible for him to be the emperor at all. The pie was lost in the sky. The three princes rejected the seal of the state and pushed him to the throne, saying that after he came to the throne, news came that Zhenbeihou had defeated Beirong. That earth-shattering battle wiped out the military power that Tugu Khan had operated for 30 years and gave long-lasting peace to northern Xinjiang. The three princes who abandoned the country and marched into the northwest and opened up large areas of animal husbandry. The country no longer has a shortage of war horses. In addition, before Emperor Wen came to the throne, the country had experienced many years of famine, and many wealthy families were wiped out. Many of them obeyed the political views of the princes and did not save food. Prince Wu destroyed the Great Wall by himself. When Emperor Wen came to the throne, the power struggle was only concentrated in a few, and it was easy to balance and control. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he has had bumper harvests year after year, and the people are prosperous, which will help the new emperor consolidate his position. In addition, he followed Ye Xiang's suggestion, broke the old idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and ignoring business, greatly improved the status of merchants, and got the cooperation of merchants, so that commerce developed rapidly, and various kinds of shop products appeared endlessly. He later re-used people like Shen Qiang, Zhang Yunzhao and others who valued the law and despised power, severely punished corrupt officials, and gave the people peace, so that people felt that this dynasty was more prosperous than any previous era, and the praise of Emperor Wen has naturally increased year after year...

It was not until a long time later that people became aware of many of Ye Xiang's and Ji Xiang's suggestions. The policies and regulations they formulated were only discussed after discussing them with Wen Di. Wen Di just didn't want to stand in the front and welcome possible criticism.
