Chapter 922: Hidden Worries (1)
A farce soon came to an end.
After King Anping retreated, Shen Jinyan and Ji Tong also quickly retreated.
Xiao Xu said softly as if nothing had happened: "It's getting late, I and Zhong Aiqing are discussing the matter of the border army's salary, and it is really difficult to negotiate the result today. That being the case, it is better for Zhong Aiqing to go back to the house to rest first, think about it for a few days, and then discuss. ”
The ministers surrendered their orders and retired one after another.
The last to exit the Funing Hall were Fu Ge Lao and Cui Shangshu.
Both of them were important ministers of the previous dynasty, and the new emperor was quite polite to the two of them. It's the first time they've embarrassed them in public. The two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts, and there was also something unpleasant. They looked at each other, and each slowed down a bit.
Seeing this, the rest of the officials slowed down a bit.
It was already dark, and there were palace lamps hanging all over the palace, and the light was quite sufficient. The slightly solemn expression on the face of Fu Ge Lao Cui Shangshu fell into each other's eyes.
In the palace, many words should not be spoken. Old Fu Ge only sighed silently.
Cui Shangshu also sighed.
Then, the two tacitly stepped out of the palace.
……
After Fu Ge Lao returned home, he summoned Fu Zhuo to the study.
Fu Zhuo was by the side of the Son of Heaven during the day, and he was discussing in the Funing Hall tonight, and he was not qualified to listen to a Chinese order, so he returned to the house early. When Fu Ge ordered someone to call him, he was telling a story to his daughter Sister Hui.
"Dad, it's so late, where are you going?" Five-year-old Sister Hui looked picturesque, very smart, and looked at her father with a pair of dark and bright black eyes.
Fu Zhuo loves her daughter like her life, and her heart is about to melt away from her daughter's dependence. But my grandfather called him, and I couldn't help but go, so I had to coax helplessly: "Great-grandfather asked my father to talk, and my father will come back in a while." ”
Sister Hui was very sensible, and said obediently: "Then I'll wait for my father to come back." ”
Fu Zhuo smiled and hugged his daughter and kissed him.
Luo Zhixuan sent Fu Zhuo to the door and said in a low voice: "Grandfather will not be in a hurry to call you over if he has nothing to do." I wonder what happened. I'll put Sister Hui to sleep first, you don't have to worry about her. ”
Fu Zhuo smiled and hummed, suddenly leaned over and kissed his wife's face.
Luo Zhixuan was shocked and ashamed, and glanced at him coquettishly: "The old husband and wife, still so frivolous Meng Lang." ”
Fu Zhuo grinned, said, "Wait for me to come back", and walked away.
Luo Zhixuan looked at her husband's tall and slender figure, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
After several years of marriage, the relationship between the two has not weakened, and it has become deeper and deeper with the passage of time.
After she gave birth to Sister Hui, she never conceived another child, which is a big regret. Mother-in-law Xu hinted many times openly and secretly, but Fu Zhuo was unmoved.
If you have a husband like this, what more can you ask for.
……
"Grandfather's face is so ugly, could it be that something happened to the court?" Fu Zhuo asked bluntly.
Fu Ge Lao frowned and said what happened in Funing Palace: "...... The emperor favored the queen alone, and connived at his wife and brother to humiliate King Anping like this. Cui Shangshu and I spoke up righteously, and we were also jealous of the Son of Heaven. It's a chilling thing. ”
Fu Zhuo looked at Fu Ge Lao fixedly and did not speak.
Fu Ge Lao was a little embarrassed and angry, and scolded with a straight face: "You are presumptuous, what kind of body has you become!"
Fu Zhuo said lightly: "Grandfather asked his grandson to come over, if he only said this, his grandson really had nothing to say." Now he has retired, and his grandfather has left his ears clean. ”
After saying that, he gave up.
Fu Ge's old face darkened: "Bastard! You have read the sage books for so many years, haven't you learned the word filial piety? That's how you talk to your grandfather?"
Fu Zhuo stood up straight helplessly: "Words are not speculative. The grandson didn't know what to say to his grandfather. ”
Before Fu Ge Lao turned his face and attacked, Fu Zhuo quickly opened his mouth and said: "I persuaded my grandfather that day, it is not appropriate to meddle in the affairs of the harem. The emperor and queen are deeply affectionate, and they try to instigate discord, and they will be afraid of the emperor and queen. It is impossible for my grandfather not to know the truth. ”
"Tonight's incident makes it clear that King Anping humiliated Queen Gu by making a statement. Grandfather should have stood by and watched. But for his own selfishness, he spoke to help King Anping. How wise the emperor is, how can he not see it? Is there any reason in his heart not to be afraid? It is also natural for him to give a warning after that. ”
After a pause, he said lightly: "Grandfather should be glad that the emperor had a seizure at that time." If the emperor doesn't say a word, it's really bad. ”
That means that the emperor has a pimple in his heart, and he doesn't know when he will take action against Fu Ge Lao.
When Fu Ge heard this, his expression did not improve, but became deeper and deeper.
Fu Zhuo saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "That's all my grandson said, please think about what my grandson said." ”
As the first assistant of a dynasty, Fu Ge is an old extremely popular minister, and he has great prestige in the court. Even the Son of Heaven has a lot of respect for him.
It's probably been smooth sailing for a long time, maybe the word power is too confusing. is as shrewd as Fu Ge Lao, but he is also confused, and he has thoughts that he shouldn't have.
……
Fu Zhuo walked out briskly, and when he came back, his expression was heavy, and his steps were equally sluggish.
Luo Zhixuan had already coaxed Sister Hui to sleep, and got up to greet her with a smile. After seeing the solemnity on Fu Zhuo's face, Luo Zhixuan sighed in her heart and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Fu Zhuo stretched out his hand and hugged Luo Zhixuan into his arms.
Husband and wife have a deep affection and are honest with each other. He has something on his mind, and he has never hidden it from Luo Zhixuan. Today, however, he hesitated for a moment.
Luo Zhixuan was smart and keen, and immediately guessed a few points: "But it has something to do with the emperor and queen in the palace?"
Fu Zhuo shook his head, then nodded again.
Luo Zhixuan didn't ask, but said softly: "Grandfather, as the head of a hundred officials, has great prestige in the court, and he is respected by the emperor. You, the grandson of the Fu family, are also the emperor's confidant. The Fu family is now prominent and can be called the head of Great Qin. Even the Dingbei Hou Mansion can't suppress the limelight of the Fu family. ”
"Could it be that my grandfather is still not satisfied?"
Fu Zhuo smiled bitterly, and reached out to caress the soft green silk hanging behind Luo Zhixuan: "The word contentment is simple to say." It's not easy to do. ”
"My grandfather had been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he was shrewd and sophisticated, but he was also dazzled by the power fan. My cousin entered the palace as a concubine, and for the Fu family, it was really a blessing and a curse!"
Luo Zhixuan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You mean, grandfather has greed in his heart?"
The one who gave birth to greed was not only his grandfather?
Cui Shangshu's mind was clear and lively.
The Son of Heaven favored the queen alone and treated the other three concubines as if they were nothing. The daughter of the Fu family, the daughter of the Cui family, lived in the cold in the palace, and Fu Ge Lao and Cui Shangshu were a little unwilling in their hearts. They didn't dare to have an opinion on the Son of Heaven, but it was inevitable that they would be dissatisfied with Queen Gu. That's why I'm going to test it tonight......
The results of the temptation speak for themselves.
