Chapter 47 Weng-in-law meeting
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Gongjin went to the palace city alone to visit his father-in-law. When Li Yuan, who was over 80 years old, saw the most handsome man in the empire again, he spoke and said, "Hongshen, you are old too."
"Sir, are you okay lately?"
After giving a greeting, Zhang Gongjin smiled and chatted with Li Yuan.
"The teeth are almost gone."
While talking, Li Yuan grinned and looked at Zhang Gongjin with his lost teeth, and there were still a few lonely ones left, but there were still a pair of dentures in the cup of water next to him.
The Zhenguan Dynasty had the craftsmanship of inlaid, including gold, silver, and bronze teeth, but most of the skills were still a little rough. Such privately customized dentures only emerged after the development of the whaling industry in recent years.
First let the customer bite out the model on the dough, then inject wax, and then re-invert the mold. After the second molding, the master of mold repair will polish the specially made whale bones, which are usually the spine or rib junction of the whale. Because some of these are cartilage, it is easy to polish.
In addition to denture braces that fit customers' gums, making teeth is also a troublesome, including metal products, jade products, bone products, ceramic products, and even glass products.
The dentures that Li Yuan soaked in the water were made of white jade, made by Yangzhou Dagong. Even though he knew they were dentures, he was a little disgusting psychologically, but after being refracted by clear water, it was definitely visually beautiful.
But if you want to do a good job of denture braces, the success rate is always low, and unless you are a top-notch powerful person, you really can't afford it.
"Don't the old man still have teeth? The food is still very delicious. Some seniors from a certain hometown have not left any of them. Even if they give a bowl of braised pork, they can't taste anything."
"What else is that?"
Li Yuan shook his head, took out the dentures from the water and stuffed them into his mouth. After the fit, he spoke more clearly. Because the weather was too hot, the palace was extremely ventilated and the ice cubes cooled down, the father-in-law and son-in-law chatted but didn't feel hot.
"My elder, I'm here today to inquire about something. I'm not very easy to talk to when I go to His Majesty. Today is different from the past."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Yuan was stunned. If he wanted to say that among his son-in-law, the one he was most satisfied with was Zhang Gongjin. Because he had a good character, he would give him as much as he would, and never owed him a lot. This is something that no one can compare to.
"A few days ago, my elder brother was walking in Wushan and was attacked by thieves and almost injured."
"I have also heard about this. The Changsun family came to ask for peace and said this. Cheng Qian also said it, only saying that there were people from Yulin Guard who were secretly investigating it."
The matter was ambiguous, and Irving was with Zhang Cang, who was an angel. The nature of attacking angels was worse, but they were dealt with coldly. Because the two saints issued an order at that time, it was considered a secret order, so even if someone attacked, it could not be directly classified as an attack angel.
After all, maybe it was just a bandit that happened to be there, and it wasn't accurate.
The reason for the secret investigation is here.
It means that the emperor suffered a small loss. Of course, if the prison is really broken, others will have no choice. It’s just that the emperor is not as physically and mentally as before, and his spirit is not strong enough, and he is less angrily obscene, so he will be like this.
"Hongshen, what did you find out?"
"Jingzhao Weishi, the matter is involved."
"oh?"
Li Yuan was slightly stunned. Jingzhao Wei family was originally a big clan, but of course it is still considered a big clan now, but Wei family is still a bit worse than before. After all, it has hurt its vitality. Compared with Jingzhao Du family, it is not much worse.
Now Wei's mainstay, if you don't believe it, you are two women.
One is Wei Concubine and the other is Wei Zhaoyi.
There are two die-hard allies of the Wei family, one is the Li family in Hebei, and the other is the Li family royal family.
The two Li clans are not next to each other, but they are all related to Concubine Wei, because Concubine Wei is married for the second time...
It is not difficult to find out these, but to tell me that I really have some evidence to come up with, and then fight a lawsuit with Wei, this is nonsense. Zhang Gongjin is not that stupid.
This kind of lawsuit against the emperor is embarrassing to lose, and it is disgusting to lose, but it is the emperor who is disgusting.
What are excellent employees? Excellent employees are employees who do not cause trouble to their boss.
It’s like everyone knows that flattering ministers are disgusting, but why do kings like it very much? Because there are so many ministers who work hard and do things seriously, but they are so flattering and comfortable... that’s really few.
"Wei Shi... um..."
Li Yuan pondered for a while, nodded slightly, "Wei has a reason."
With his hands arched and bowed slightly, Zhang Gongjin looked solemn: "The old man doesn't know anything. There is still some trouble here, otherwise I wouldn't have entered the palace to ask for instructions. It's really my elder brother's mother. She went to Wuhan first and is now preparing to go to Beijing. This matter cannot be hidden. As I said just now, today is different from the past. Princess Anping in the old year... I just said that it was just a matter of "marriage". But now, she is walking in the Yangtze River, with the font "Jiangyin Boss Lady". I don't know many fierce and fierce people in her hands. If the two families start fighting, I don't like Wei."
After a pause, Zhang Gongjin reminded Li Yuan again: "The wealthy families of Jingzhao, like Du, will also secretly help Princess Anping."
"It's not just Du."
After taking the conversation, Li Yuan looked at his son-in-law, "That 'Anli' was the name given by me, and later it came to the hands of the Changsun family."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were silent for a while, and Li Yuan sighed: "The Guanyin maid will definitely stand by and watch and will not interfere in this matter."
Is it true that when the eldest wife of the chief palace lady saw her husband’s little wife causing trouble at home, even if she has the ability to deal with the trouble, would she settle it with the normal mentality?
What's more, it's the same sentence: Today is different from the past!
Queen Changsun didn’t need to rely on Huairou’s harem families to stabilize the position of “the lord of the harem” ten years ago. She grabbed her inside and outside, calling her an isolated person and a widow. Do you care about the little fight in the harem?
I only talk about the rouge and water powder of thousands of beauties and palace maids in the harem every year. All the high-end goods are provided by the "Anli", which is a subsidy from Empress Changsun. In short, there are tens of thousands of coins a year.
In addition, Empress Changsun also has a private channel, with a special "Pearl Class" transported to Beijing. These pearls do not require Li Shimin's harem to pay for money.
It can be said that the entire Zhenguan Emperor's harem has been willing to flatter Empress Changsun for so many years, and is willing to do nothing but beautify her.
"My elder, I have also met my elder brother. In Jiangyin and Wuhan, there have been people who want to contribute to him and expect him to inherit Cao Zhi's family business in the future. Although his surname is Zhang, he doesn't say anything false. Among them, there must be ambitious people. Furthermore, the former Duke Su Guo of Su, He Tanzhi... Most of the original expectations for Cao Zhi were transferred to the eldest brother."
“Um…”
I don’t know how many people are competing to be “people”. Even if Zhang De can influence the common people and even the students and apprentices who are from slaves, they receive education and work, but after struggling in society for a few years, most of them are thinking about how to step on others and climb up.
No matter how disappointed or helpless Zhang De is, this reality cannot be changed.
The lofty vision that cannot be realized from Zhang De is very hopeful for Zhang Cang.
Another meaning reflected by "Is there any king, prince, general and minister?" is nothing more than that I want to be king, prince, general and minister!
