Chapter 80: Not Seen
The next day, the list of all school-age women in the remote areas was also handed over, and the emperor immediately took out the Minzhou area to see it, and asked Gonggong Liu to help look at it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When looking through these rosters, the emperor was so nervous that he couldn't help himself.
He picked the booklet surnamed Liu to read, and then looked at the family members and addresses in the booklet.
There were a total of twenty girls surnamed Liu in the booklet handed over by the Minzhou area, but there was no booklet from the daughter of Liu Qingsong's family.
The emperor was afraid that he would lose his eyes, so he looked back and forth twice, but there was still nothing.
He hurriedly asked Gonggong Liu to help him watch it twice, but there was no more.
The emperor froze.
It was as if something suddenly pierced his heart, and as if something hidden in a corner of his heart could not be found, full of distress and loss.
She didn't hand over the booklet, which means that she has already made up for someone.
Words like 'already married' were sharper than a dagger to the emperor at this moment, and he couldn't face them at all, and he couldn't accept them.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be suddenly sick, Gonggong Liu knew how uncomfortable this news made him, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said cautiously: "Your Majesty ......"
I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly I felt that any words of comfort seemed superfluous at this moment, so I swallowed back the words that followed.
The emperor is a very assertive and resolute person, a woman must not hurt him too much, he is just a little unable to adapt for a while, Gonggong Liu thought to himself.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong.
The emperor's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, as if he had suddenly learned something that he couldn't bear.
Obviously the two sides have not even exchanged a look or a smile, how can she occupy such an important position in his heart? Gonggong Liu felt a little incredible.
Father-in-law Liu has never met a woman who makes his heart move in his life, nor has he been in love with a woman, and he doesn't know that some people's relationships don't need words, eyes and smiles to communicate, just a glance from afar, no matter the changes of time and the vicissitudes of life, he always has a thought and recognition in his heart.
But although he could not fully understand this, Gonggong Liu was still shocked by the painful and desperate look on the young monarch's face, and always felt that it was too bad not to say something comforting, so he cautiously approached the monarch again, and said: "Your Majesty, maybe the person who came to deliver the booklet accidentally lost her share, and the servant immediately asked someone to check it." β
The emperor did not stop him.
Gonggong Liu trotted out of the hall and asked the seven or eight officials waiting outside the hall, "Who is from Minzhou?"
Immediately, an official in his twenties stepped forward in fear and said, "Go back to my father-in-law, I'm down." β
Father-in-law Liu asked, "How many girls with the surname Liu are in the booklet received from Minzhou?"
The official thought for a moment and replied respectfully, "Father-in-law, twenty." β
Gonggong Liu closed his eyes, leaned closer to him and asked softly: "Liu Qingsong, the assassin of Minzhou, seems to have a daughter who is still waiting to be in the boudoir, right?
The official hurriedly knelt down and said, "The lower official doesn't know the details. β
It is difficult for the outside world to know the situation of the young lady in the boudoir, unless it is possible to know a thing or two unless it is a person who has a very good relationship with the family, this official has no personal relationship with Liu Qingsong on weekdays, and it is normal not to know the situation in his family.
Gonggong Liu's heart sank inexplicably, so he asked again: "Have you heard rumors about which family Liu Qingsong's family is marrying again?"
The young official still shook his head.
Gonggong Liu's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
The official hurriedly and tentatively asked, "Father-in-law, but you want to inquire about the news of that young lady?"
"No need. Gonggong Liu hurriedly said, turned around and went back to the Yinghua Palace.
The Emperor was standing in front of the window and looking out, and it was evident from his back that he was in a bad mood and a little anxious.
Gonggong Liu informed the emperor of the conversation between himself and the official.
This news made the emperor even more uncomfortable, and the emperor said with difficulty: "I know. β
The man he sent to Minzhou to investigate should be able to return the day after tomorrow, and the emperor was thinking about whether to wait for him to come back before making a decision, but many things could happen in two days, so he was not willing to wait even a quarter of an hour. He immediately sent three people to Minzhou overnight to secretly understand the situation.
After the three of them left, the emperor felt a little better, so he asked Gonggong Liu to pass lunch.
However, at lunchtime, the Emperor's mood began to grow heavy again.
He asked himself that he was a strong-hearted person, and it was not easy to be led by emotions by one thing, but this incident completely controlled his emotions.
During the banquet, someone brought in a letter, and the emperor picked it up and looked at itβit was written by Li Ling, the king of Ling.
Li Ling said in the letter that the peaches in the southern region were ripe, and there was a bumper harvest this year, and he wanted to pay a tribute of 1,000 catties to the imperial court, hoping that the emperor would approve it.
Looking at this short letter, the emperor pondered in his heart.
Last time, Li Ling's father and son took the initiative to hand over the two cities to the imperial court, and then returned to the domain in the southern regions, and then the relationship between the imperial court and them was the same as before.
But everyone knows that Li Ling is still the prince with the most cities in the whole Zhao Kingdom, but the number of cities he supports is allowed by the emperor and the present.
Therefore, no one dared to say anything about them.
Now, Li Ling took the initiative to pay tribute to the imperial court, and the emperor didn't have to think about it to know that they had the intention of taking the initiative to curry favor with him.
The Emperor pondered for a moment, then wrote the word 'permission' with a stroke of his pen.
Only then did he give the reply to his subordinates, and the Queen Mother came over there.
The Queen Mother is in a radiant mood today, smiling, and she knows that she is in a good mood at a glance.
"Yesterday afternoon, I met Gong Yan's daughter, Gong Qifang, at Ciqing Palace. The Queen Mother took the initiative to say after taking her seat.
The preoccupied emperor let out a nonchalant "oh".
The Empress Dowager said: "This woman is more beautiful and moving than in the portrait, and she is really fragrant." I asked her a few questions, and she got them all right. β
The emperor smiled lightly: "It seems that the queen mother likes her very much." β
"Yes," the Empress Dowager said with a smile without concealing her liking for her, "If it weren't for the fact that you weren't fit to see each other for the time being, I really wish you were there." β
The Emperor laughed but did not answer. For some reason, his heart did not fluctuate in the slightest.
The queen mother said tolerantly: "You haven't seen her in real person, and it's hard to think of her good, and when you see her in the future, you'll know that what the queen mother said is true." β
Only then did the emperor raise his eyes slightly, and asked lightly: "The queen mother wants to make her the queen?"
"Exactly, that's why I'm here to discuss with you. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The emperor put down his chopsticks and said, "This matter should not be rash, I will reply to you in a few days." β
Ran to the wilderness and said
