Si Lusi's side even shouted the slogan - Don't let an orphan who was entrusted die of hunger and cold.

There is no way, if something like this happens now, it will be a huge political matter.

Anyone from top to bottom may be sucked into the vortex as long as they brush against it.

Because the young master of the current dynasty is likely to be suspicious in his heart - he is an orphan, and I am also an orphan. If you can do this to him, will you do the same to me?

The power of God is impermanent, but no one dares to take their household registration book and bet on whether the emperor will turn a blind eye to such a thing?

At the very least, otherwise the officials from the Department of Records, Department of Records, Department of Inspection and Supervision would not dare.

Therefore, today's Kaifeng Prefecture's Department of Records, Inspection and Review has become the most honest and efficient unit in Bianjing City.

Under the strict supervision of Yang Wenyuan, and the crows at the Yushitai who were almost crazy about progress, they checked every now and then.

The Department of Records and Records inspects the school library. I don’t say it can be done 100% now, and checks the orphans entrusted in a timely manner.

At the very least, send someone to review the living and learning conditions of the orphans every month.

This incident has further strengthened and strengthened the government and the public's perception of Zhao Xu's "very sensitive to orphans" personality.

Now, Zhao Xu tells the inside story about the Bao family.

Naturally, it immediately caused a storm.

"I see..." Both palaces were thinking in their hearts.

The Empress Dowager then asked her surroundings: "Where is Yongjia County Lord? I want to commend him personally."

"I should give you my personal condolences!" Queen Mother Xiang also said with emotion.

Someone immediately went to invite the Lord Yongjia who was still waiting outside the palace.

However, Zhao Xu smiled and continued: "The great mother, the queen mother, and the virtuous women of the Bao Xiaosu family are not the only Yongjia County Lord."

"oh!"

"The lady in the palace now is no less impressive than Yongjia County Lord."

The two palaces looked at Mrs. Wen, who hurriedly bowed and said, "My wife dare not praise His Majesty. She is just following the teachings of her ancestors and caring for her husband and raising her children at home."

Zhao Xu turned around and glanced at Wen Xunniang.

Under certain circumstances, the Wen family currently in the palace is very similar to Wen Xunniang.

They are all concubines, they are Wen Yanbo's granddaughters, and they are all humble women who grow silently like weeds.

But they also have very strong personalities.

Seeing Zhao Xu's expression, Wen Xunniang quickly lowered her head.

In fact, she has never met the 'cousin' who is now in the palace.

Before she was born, the other party was already married.

Before today, she didn't even know that she had such a 'sister'.

This is the fate of a concubine girl from a big family.

You can only fight desperately to survive, and you can only do everything you can to protect yourself.

I pray that I can grow up and marry a good husband.

reason?

It's very simple - today's society in the Song Dynasty is a society where after the death of a father, the sons divide their property into separate households, and at the same time, women's property inheritance rights are protected.

When a woman gets married, she has to pay a dowry.

Moreover, the amount of dowry is stipulated - basically, it should generally reach about 70% of the property that the sons will receive when the family is divided in the future.

The law also stipulates the inheritance share of a virgin’s property.

Therefore, in many families, the children of concubines live a very miserable life.

The direct lineage will suppress you like crazy and do everything possible to persecute and humiliate you.

It's better to force him to death - in this way, there will be one less person to share the family property in the future.

In some places, infant drowning is a common practice for this reason.

The scholar-bureaucrats also gave away their pregnant concubines for this reason - all the concubine's children had the right to inherit.

However, it is obvious that the Wen family in the palace is very different from the Wen Xunniang beside Zhao Xu.

Judging from Zhao Xu's observation, Wen Xunniang actually hated her father in her heart. The evidence is that she never mentioned her father in front of Zhao Xu. When asked about her family, she always asked: How is your grandfather?

how……

Zhao Xu smiled and continued: "Mother-in-law, the queen mother may not know yet."

"The lady in the palace is Bao Shou's second wife. When she married, Bao Shou's original wife left behind four young children..."

"But my wife treats her as her own child, treats everyone equally, and raises her with care. She is a virtuous person!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was filled with exclamations of exclamation.

Because those who came today are all married women, that is, the head wives of the clan, relatives, nobles, and ministers.

What are these people most afraid of?

What if you are unlucky and the children you leave behind are bullied?

For them, of course they want a successor like Wen.

Even the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Mr. Wen with eyes filled with admiration.

"Good!" The Empress Dowager admired and asked, "Mr. Wen..."

"My wife is here..."

"Is there any order?"

"I am telling you that my wife's moral character is shallow and she has done nothing for the court..."

"You are a virtuous person and should be commended by imperial decree!" The Empress Dowager made the final decision.

He also said to the Queen Mother: "What the Queen Mother said is true."

For the ruling class, how to deceive people has always been the core issue of rule.

In the eyes of the two palaces, the Wen family and the Yongjia County monarch Cui family are typical role models.

By promoting and praising them, it sends a political signal to others, mainly members of the ruling group, that you should follow suit.

Mrs. Wen was flattered and quickly knelt down to thank her.

Zhao Xu looked at it and pursed his lips slightly.

Although, in fact, he knew very well that Wen's marriage to Bao Shou was actually a political maneuver by Wen Yanbo - Wen's marriage to Bao Shou was in the early years of Yuanfeng, when Wu Chong was prime minister, and the old party was counterattacking against the new party.

Bao Shou, Bao Zheng's youngest son, became a chess piece that could be used.

Otherwise, why was Bao Shou's first wife not a girl from the Wen family, but the daughter of a local official?

However, such a big bag and ribbon were left there.

Why is Wen Yanbo willing to marry his granddaughter?

Back then, Bao Zheng had quite a few friends and confidants in the court.

Fu Bi and Zhang Fangping were both friends with Bao Zheng.

Why don't they marry their granddaughter?

No?

Still reluctant to give such a large dowry to the youngest son of the Bao family who seems unlikely to rise again?

If it's more serious, you can even question them - have they ever cared about the son of their old friend Bao Zheng?

Therefore, in fact, Wen Yanbo, an old fox, is still very humane.

At least among the old foxes, he is considered a very loyal person.

Apart from other things, Queen Wen, Cheng and Zhang have been dead for so many years.

So far, the Zhang family is receiving financial assistance from Wen Yanbo.

It is precisely because of these things that Zhao Xu is willing to play games with Wen Yanbo.

He even pushed it to a level that didn't belong to him.

Because Zhao Xu knew that Wen Yanbo had various problems.

He likes to rely on his old age and show off, and is full of schemes and tricks.

But Wen Yanbo's political character is relatively strong.

At this time, Liang Weijian had already brought Mr. Cui of Yongjia County to the palace.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty the Emperor."

Cui is nearly fifty years old this year, but she looks as if she is sixty.
