Chapter 66
It was none other than Qin Song's eldest son, Qin Zhonghai. www.biquge.info I saw that his face was pale, with tears on his face, and the whole person exuded a sense of "panic" and "happiness", and while kowtowing, he choked up and said to Qin Bai: "Thank you for the grace of the third uncle! The third uncle is very gracious, and the nephew is grateful to you for a lifetime! In the future, the third uncle will be sent, just order the nephew." My nephew will honor you as much as he honors my father!"
This was a bit of a beginningless and unfinished word, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo didn't know the inside story, they only felt confused, but Brother Zi'er was a little frightened. Qin Zhonghai's excited appearance, where has he seen it as a child?
Qin Bai gave Niu a look, and Niu quickly motioned to Mama Hu and the nurse to hug Brother Zi'er. Originally, she was going to take Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo away, but because at this time, Qin Song also broke into the courtyard gate with a menacing face, so Niu changed his mind and didn't leave, only asked his granddaughter to go down with his younger brother.
Qin Hanzhen walked a few steps, and saw Brother Zi'er's nurse looking back with a curious gossip on her face, as if she couldn't move, so she blocked in front of her and glared at her. The nurse stumbled, hugged Brother Zi'er and walked away quickly. Qin Hanzhen pulled Zhao Mo to follow her, and when she arrived in the ear room, she didn't follow the door, but turned around and hid behind the pillar, secretly looking at the situation in the courtyard.
Zhao Mo was very cooperative and did not stop her, and reminded her in a low voice: "The door of my cousin's house is still open, it is more convenient for us to go there and take a look." β
Qin Hanzhen was immediately impressed by him, and without saying a word, he dragged him to the west wing. The door was open, and there was no one in the room, so they hid by the window and peeked, which was much more comfortable and clear than if they were behind the pillars. At the moment, everyone in the courtyard was busy arguing, and no one had time to meet them.
Yes, Qin Song ran into the Qingfeng Pavilion, and it was a quarrel.
As soon as he entered the door, he pointed at his younger brother's nose and scolded: "Qin Bai! What have I done to you? Tete sent someone to pick you up and take you to Beijing, and entertained you with delicious food and drink along the way. I treat you well everywhere, and this is how you repay me? I went to see the emperor without telling me, and you still sued me in front of the emperor? When you are old, you don't want to take good care of me, but you have the heart to rob me of my scenery and dignity? I'm afraid that even if you become a marquis of Cheng'en and enter the court, you won't be able to last a few years and will die of old age!"
Qin Bai frowned and looked at him: "Why did the eldest brother say this?"
"Are you still pretending?!" Qin Song was so angry that his nose was crooked, "If you hadn't sued in front of the emperor, how could the emperor have issued an order to reprimand me? As soon as you came, as soon as you saw the emperor, he made a will, it wasn't you who harmed me, who else would it be?!"
Qin Zhonghai was in a cold sweat when he listened, and hurriedly got up to support Qin Song: "Father, don't say it again! The emperor's secret decree made it clear that he originally planned to punish his father, and it was the third uncle who interceded for you, so that the emperor would spare your life! How could you reverse black and white, and say that the third uncle harmed you?"
Qin Song pushed his son away: "You actually speak for him? I am your old man! Why did he intercede for me, the emperor has always favored him, and he is used to saying good things for him in front of people, and what he said in the secret decree is obviously to cover up for Qin Bai, in order to make him a good person! Do you really think I don't know? How could he Qin Bai say good things for me? I robbed him of his woman, robbed him of his title, and tricked him into going to the border city, and walked for 30 years! He hates me to death, how can he say good things about me in front of the emperor?! If I had been him, he would have skinned me a long time ago!"
Niu interjected angrily: "Do you think that our master is as despicable as you? Our master is the most upright and generous, he is not like you, he obviously harms people, and he still says that he treats others well! Look at what you just said, you clearly know that you are sorry for our master, what kind of injustice is this time shouting here?!"
Qin Song choked and became even more angry: "Sure enough, I was right, right? You have been hating me for a long time, so you specially went to Beijing and went to the emperor to sue me, so that I would be unlucky!"
Niu Shi smacked him: "Don't reverse black and white! It's clear that you specially sent someone to invite us to Beijing, so that you can talk about it, ask for everything, say that your family will be unlucky if you offend the emperor, please ask our master to go to Beijing to save you." Now our lord has come all the way to save your life and intercede for you. Although there are always things in this world that will take revenge, and you are also a person who is used to taking revenge, but this is the only way to get the benefit, and it is really rare for someone to turn his back and turn his face, how can there be such a cheeky person as you in the world? !
Qin Song was choked enough, and was about to scold again, when he suddenly heard a thunderclap in the clear sky above his head, startled him, and looked at the sky blankly, not knowing how to react.
Instead, Niu laughed happily, clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, God has eyes, and he can't stand it anymore, so he wants to thunder down and kill you!"
Qin Song's mouth stiffened: "Village woman! shrew! Talking nonsense! This is just a coincidence, don't scare people here!"
Niu sneered: "Where in the world are there so many coincidences? Why don't you see God thunder at other times, and you have to fight when you come to our courtyard to make trouble? It can be seen that you have done too many immoral things, not only the emperor can't look at it, but even God can't tolerate you!"
Qin Song shuddered, dumbfounded, and wanted to scold a few more words, but he was already three points timid, and he really believed that this was a warning from heaven.
Qin Bai smiled and grabbed Niu's: "Okay, don't be angry, watch your body." Niu Shi immediately hugged her husband's arm and said softly: "I'm not angry, I just can't hear him scold you like this." β
Qin Bai patted her hand lightly and turned to Qin Song: "Listening to the words of the eldest brother, it must be the holy decree that has come down?"
Qin Song sneered: "What are you pretending to be stupid? didn't you already know?!"
He could put on a face, but Qin Zhonghai couldn't, and said to Qin Bai honestly: "The holy decree that was just given is one bright and one dark. In the decree, it was said that his father was unceremonious, punished him for studying at home, and demoted his father's marquis from the first class to the third class. In the secret decree, it was said that the father committed the crime of defrauding the king, and he did not repent, and he should have been sentenced to death, but he just read it for the sake of the queen's mother's closest relatives, and ordered his father to study at home, recite scriptures, cultivate self-cultivation, eat fasting and chant Buddha, pray for the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince, and atone for his past mistakes. If the father dares to disobey the will and commit it again, he will no longer tolerate it. The father-in-law who announced the decree told us that if it weren't for the third uncle who repeatedly pleaded for his father in front of the emperor, the emperor would never be so tolerant, and the palace even had poisoned wine ready. The third uncle saved his father's life, and the nephew is really grateful!"
As soon as Qin Bai heard it, he knew that the emperor was indeed speaking for himself, although he had not told Qin Song in front of the emperor, everything was what the emperor and Bai Zhi Gansong were talking about. However, the emperor asked the eunuch to specifically point out that he had interceded for Qin Song, so that Qin Song's children and grandchildren could remember the meaning of his kindness. The emperor's kindness is in his arms, how can he be humble?
Qin Bai said to Qin Song: "Since the father-in-law who announced the decree has already said it, I am not afraid to tell the truth to the eldest brother." Ever since the emperor found out what Canaan had concealed, he had been very annoyed in his heart. He is the king of a country, and he has been deceived by a palace man for thirty years. For the emperor, this is a great shame. Canaan is dead, she deserves it, so there is no need to mention it, but the emperor's anger has not subsided. As a fellow member of Canaan, how can the emperor not be annoyed with you? He has been refusing to see you these days, because he is afraid that when he sees your face, he will no longer be able to bear it and will directly take your life. But before I returned to Beijing, he always had to see me first and tell the truth clearly before he could deal with his eldest brother. Otherwise, as soon as the eldest brother dies, there is no proof of death, what should I do if I misunderstand the emperor? Besides, you and I are brothers, and if the emperor wants to deal with you, he can't help but tell me, and it will save me from being sad for you, and from then on I will complain about him. β
Qin Song's face flushed. The meaning of "I have a deep relationship with the emperor, you can't compare with me" in Qin Bai's tone is still so strong that he is jealous and hateful, but he can't care about these now, and is more unhappy with himself: "The matter of Canaan is her own opinion, what does it have to do with me?! That cheap maid is dead, how can the emperor be angry with me?!"
Qin Bai smiled lightly: "Canaan lied to me and deceived the emperor, it was indeed her own opinion. But big brother, you are in the know. Even if you don't know until the fact, you're in the know. If you are really loyal, why don't you report to the emperor? The emperor is annoyed with you, not for you to deceive me, but for you. The eldest brother thinks that if the emperor treats the queen with affection and kindness to our family, he will really be your brother-in-law? He can be an ordinary relative? How naΓ―ve is the eldest brother! No matter how well the emperor treats us, he is also the son of heaven! He is the king of a country! We are just his courtiers. How can the eldest brother even forget his identity? You should really be glad that my younger brother is still alive and can return to Beijing to intercede for you. If I had died in the northwest early, or if the emperor had forgotten about me, I don't know what was waiting for my eldest brother today!"
Qin Song's face was ashen, and he said in a trembling voice: "No...... Emperor...... I am the only brother of the queen mother! I am the brother of my sister-in-law! If I have a good one, the queen mother will definitely be sad if she knows about it! The emperor ...... I can't bear to let the queen be sad!"
Qin Bai said in a low voice: "It's been thirty years...... Big brother, if it weren't for the emperor's sake, he would have dealt with you countless times in the past thirty years. You have been able to enjoy the honor in peace, that is, you have received the legacy of the queen's mother. The emperor treats you like a mountain, but you ...... even dared to disobey the queen's last words, and hid a lot of things from him. The emperor has a lot of reluctance in his heart, and this time and again, it also makes you feel cold. β
Qin Song was stunned for a moment, suddenly shivered, and then cried loudly: "Mother, my mother, open your eyes and take a look......"
Qin Bai's face sank: "Big brother has the face to call his mother." You say, if Niangniang has a spirit in the sky, will she be biased towards me or towards the eldest brother?"
Qin Song's cry suddenly stopped, and he glared at Qin Bai viciously, not knowing what to say.
Qin Bai ignored him and said to Qin Zhonghai: "You better hurry up and help your father back, and ask him to act honestly according to the holy decree." The emperor is staring at the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, this time I pleaded, and he can still save his life. But if he continues to do this, he may not be able to provoke the emperor to have no patience anymore. On that day, a will came down, that is, I had the heart to save him again, but I might not be able to catch it in time. β
Qin Zhonghai said gratefully: "Yes, don't worry, third uncle, I will definitely convince my father." β
Qin Bai sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Good boy, you are an understanding person. Your father is like this, and it will depend on you in this house from now on. Even for the sake of your mother, brother, daughter-in-law, and children, you have to hold on. β
Qin Zhonghai's eyes were red and he nodded heavily. Qin Song on the side was already stunned, but he was still dragged away by his son. (To be continued.) )
