Qi Zongwen summoned Tang Su into the palace and asked him what was the situation outside the palace now?

"At the beginning, the minister still couldn't understand why His Majesty wanted to let the two people go back to the house to confine, but now it seems that His Majesty is still a good move. Tang Su said, "The king of Huaiping County is now a concubine, and he can't cope with the requirements of the concubines at all. ”

"I may not have seen them for a long time, so let Han Xing take a trip for me tomorrow. Qi Zongwen said with a little contemplation, "It's also a few reprimands, I let them go home, not to let them go back to enjoy happiness." ”

"Previously, His Majesty asked his ministers to secretly investigate, and how many people in the court are too noble. Tang Su said, "Now there is an approximation, the number of people is far less than originally thought, after all, the noble people have lost power for a long time, Your Majesty has been diligent in government and loves the people since he ascended the throne, which is obvious to all." ”

"There are few people who have been blinded by lard. ”

"Less, not nothing. Qi Zongwen said, "Find a few mistakes on the bright side and arrest them, and then let Chang Yunchu go to the careful examination, no matter what it is, the piles and piles are asked clearly, and they can't be let go." ”

"Yes. ”

After Tang Su left, Qi Zongwen pondered for a while, and asked people to call the good king in, and when the good king entered the palace, it was almost lunchtime, so Qi Zongwen asked him to talk while eating.

Temporarily staying here to eat the good king, Qi Zongwen asked people to go and tell the concubine, don't wait for him.

"It's an unfortunate incident that the younger brother came, and he should have eaten before entering the palace. The good king said.

"What's wrong with you entering the palace when you receive the order?" Qi Zongwen said, "It's the unfortunate timing of my call, and it also disturbs you and the princess to have lunch together." ”

"Your Majesty saved my brother's urgency. "The good king said, "Since the princess gave birth to her daughter, she has been thinking all kinds of nonsense, and recently she is worried that her cooking skills are not good, and she is afraid that her daughter will learn cooking skills when she grows up, and she will feel that her mother is useless. ”

"These days it's all about eating the princess's cooking. King Shanwang made an indescribable expression, "So as soon as I heard that His Majesty was called a minister, the courtier's brother immediately entered the palace." ”

You can't do it in front of her. Qi Zongwen reminded.

"Of course. The good king said, "To his face, he only boasted about the deliciousness of the cooking." ”

"If I make the princess cry now, the first concubine will not be able to bypass me. ”

"Can the concubine get used to it after leaving the palace?" Qi Zongwen asked, and then said, "Look, I asked a nonsense, how could the concubine not get used to living with her own son and daughter-in-law when she left the palace." ”

"The mother concubine has lived in the palace for too long, and even when she arrives at the palace, she can't let go, because the looseness of the slave has been angry several times, saying that she will get into trouble if she is not careful. King Shanwang said, "Fortunately, the princess is always with her, and now that she is like a mother and daughter, I am a superfluous one." ”

"That's your blessing. Qi Zongwen said that he thought about it carefully, and the two sons born to the princess in the palace of the good king and a daughter who were recently born, and he had never heard a story in the backyard.

"How many concubines do you have in your backyard now?" Qi Zongwen suddenly asked.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly talk about this?" the good king became nervous, "The princess's personality has changed greatly after giving birth to a daughter, and she is especially prone to sentimentality and crying. "The implication is that Your Majesty, if you want to stuff people for me at this time, it will be too unauthentic.

"What are you nervous about. Qi Zongwen smiled and said, "Except for the last time I came back from Northern Xinjiang and rewarded you with a few women, when did I cause trouble in your backyard?"

"Besides, those women in Northern Xinjiang all asked the princess to train them to be women's history, and later they married in a beautiful way, do you think I don't know. ”

The good king laughed twice, "This is not to blame the princess, His Majesty didn't say anything to reward people at the beginning, then when the princess asked me, I said I didn't like it, and she kept it." ”

"I didn't find out before. Qi Zongwen stared at him, "Are you afraid of guilt?"

"Nothing. The good king waved his hand again and again, "What kind of character is the princess, Your Majesty knows it, or Your Majesty gave me two fingers of marriage, she is the most innocent person, and she does not restrict me from taking concubines, but I don't want to." ”

"Men are, you can really bear it. ”

King Shanwang smiled, "I'm not afraid of Your Majesty's jokes, I really don't have those thoughts, beautiful women are naturally beautiful, and I sometimes feel tempted when I look at them, but what about after that? Speaking of which, no matter how beautiful a woman is, isn't it the same when she draws the curtains? ”

"Although the princess doesn't say it, but I don't accept concubines, she is still very happy, we are young hair, so many years of relationship, I am used to her, the more I look at it, the better I look, no matter how beautiful a woman is, in my eyes I can't compare to the princess. ”

"I'm very relieved to know that you have such a good relationship. Qi Zongwen said, "King Liang's mess of filth, don't mention it." ”

"King Liang, I also talked to him thoroughly a few years ago, and he also understood the reason, and promised to change his life and live a serious life. The good king said.

"I know that he has resentment in his heart, they are all younger brothers, I use you heavily, I don't need him, let him lose face. Qi Zongwen said, "But why doesn't he want to think about how I can rest assured that he can leave other things to him when a backyard is in a mess." ”

"In the beginning, I used him the same, but he didn't grow up on his own, who blamed him. ”

"He knew that he was wrong, he drank wine years ago, and when he thought of losing His Majesty's trust, he cried like a child, and I said that as long as he sincerely changed his mind, His Majesty would still give him almost. The good king said, "Don't say anything else, when the child grows up, he won't feel ashamed of Lao Tzu, this is our responsibility as a father." ”

"You're doing a great job. Qi Zongwen said, "Let you take care of the clan, that's right." ”

The good king only laughed and said that what he had done was not enough, and when he ran out of food and finished the idle article, Qi Zongwen and the good king said business, "I vaguely heard that the king of Huaiping County is very famous among the people in the court, is there such a thing?"

King Shanwang paused, this question is more sensitive, "How to say it, when the king of Huaiping County was favored, His Majesty was older than his younger brother, he saw more and remembered it more deeply, and then the Shu people were imprisoned, and the king of Huaiping County had to be favored by the emperor first, and he was not burdened by his father, and he opened his own house to live, and he was just a little doll at that time, and then he was low-key and calm, except for some movement when he got married, there was no side to it." ”

"When he reached the age when he could go to the court, he didn't say that he took the initiative to ask for the court and participate in political affairs, according to the feeling of his younger brother, he actually knows his identity very well, and he is very suspicious of some things. ”

"Nuo, don't you just admire him very much?" Qi Zongwen said, "Handsome, smart, and able to bend and stretch, he is a character." ”

"This originally seemed like a good person. The good king said with some hesitation, he can't say bad things about juniors, what has become of this. "Such a father and uncle live in the back house, it doesn't matter if he is honest, it's okay if he is not honest, after all, he is still in captivity, he can't get out, as long as Huaiping can hold it down, these things will not spread outside. But Huaiping couldn't hold it down. He is a junior, and he can think if he can't hold it down, but he can deal with some things. ”

"It makes people wonder if he can't hold it down, or if he doesn't want to press it. The good king said, "Those two people committed a crime back then, but they were not wronged, but now Huaiping is conniving at them as if they have been wronged and want to make up for it as much as possible, how can this be done." ”

"They just want to enjoy, they want women. Qi Zongwen frowned and said, "Over the years, they have been born out one by one, do they still want to give these people an identity." ”

"Exactly. King Shanwang patted his thigh and said, "Huaiping is going to let them be adopted by outsiders first, and then they will all come back as godbrothers." ”

"And let them have their own families. ”

"He Huaiping County King came forward to marry someone, others naturally want to think more, this is not a simple matter. "I was thinking about when I would ask him." ”

"It doesn't take any time, just today and tomorrow. Qi Zongwen said, "By the way, look at the situation of those two people, are they all over the city now, do they still remember that they are in captivity? ”
