Chapter 31: The Queen's Choice
Yu Shi listened to his daughter's words, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, your father is measured and will not cause trouble, and besides, they don't have an official position and fame on them, and our family's wealth may not be preserved." ”
Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, she only learned today that her rich life had come so hard.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ruyi became worried: "What I said today, is it very strict? If someone hears it, will it bring trouble to my father and the family?"
Seeing that his daughter finally had a sense of distress, Yu Shi was quite relieved in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "Although it is a matter of criticism, after thinking about it, there is no substance, but in the ears of others, it is inevitable that the other party's family will fall into the well and vote for the queen mother." In the end, if it is a country boudoir woman, where can it be passed on to the court, besides, your father is just a civil servant, and he is not qualified to participate in the battle between officials and factions, who has the leisure to make it difficult for him. ”
Qiu Ruyi also felt that she was a country girl, and she didn't have such a big face, and what she said could reach the heavenly court, so she smiled and said: "What the mother said is that her daughter will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future, especially in the affairs of the court, and she will not say a word from now on." ”
Yu smiled and nodded, and the unhappiness between the mother and daughter suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
However, the mother and daughter never imagined that Qiu Ruyi's momentary words would enter the palace with Liu Xian, the uncle of the Three Kingdoms, and reach the ears of the Queen Mother.
Liu Xian was sitting in the Cishou Palace at this time, with a happy face on his face, and said: "This is the real attitude of the people towards this matter, and only those old sour Confucians in the court are crooked for their own interests, fortunately, this time Fang Jin was rectified in time, and the chicken was killed to show the monkey, and since then the court and China have been peaceful." ”
The Queen Mother held several pearls of agarwood in her hand, sat on the phoenix couch, and said lightly: "Your news is very fast, someone in Fenglin County over there said something, as if they had grown legs, and they all flew to your ears at once." ”
Liu Xian hurriedly said with a smile: "The Fang family has always been powerful, and the world knows it, but now that it has fallen suddenly, it is always necessary to find out the reaction of the people, so the minister sent a few people over, if there is really anything wrong, it is also good for the mother to prepare early." ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "It's really hard for you." Now that the Fang family is selling land in large quantities, you must have followed suit. ”
Liu Xian's old face turned red, and his face was a little sneering, and he looked at the Queen Mother and smiled: "I can't hide anything from my sister."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart softened, and her face was also relaxed, but then she was blushing and said sternly: "Fang Jin has won the trust and favor of the first emperor, and he has made many achievements in the court, if it weren't for his desire to disturb this peaceful court, this forced the mourning family to take action." ”
Liu Xian hurriedly echoed: "Sister did the right thing, she should deal with these people who have nothing to provoke trouble, and the Fang family must be in an extremely miserable situation in order to deter others." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Liu Xian sharply, and sneered: "He has so much more stolen money on his head, it must be your idea, such a large amount of silver, you are not satisfied, and even the sacrificial property of his family has to be taken over, originally in the eyes of the corporal of the world, the mourning family is the likes of Lu Huo, and now the Liu family is Wang Mang's first-class." ”
Liu Xian lowered his head in fright, and whispered for a long time: "You care about his merits, you just want him to lose his official position, and he can't make waves again, but he may not be able to understand your hard work." A hundred-legged insect will not stiffen until death, and in order to avoid future troubles, it is very necessary to completely step on the soles of his feet, and he will never be able to turn over again. Only then did he have to be charged, and it took a lot of mental and financial resources for the ministers to do it......"
Empress Dowager Liu glanced at her younger brother and couldn't help but sigh deeply, in the early years, her father and brothers led the army to fight outside, and there was only such a man in the family, so she couldn't help but be spoiled.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but say softly: "That's it, the Fang family is completely down, don't meddle in this matter anymore, and you don't have to go out of your way to embarrass the women and children of his family, there has always been no shortage of people in this world who fall into the well and throw stones to flatter and invite merit, if you don't make a move, you can also achieve the result you want in your heart." ”
Liu Xian agreed again and again, and the Empress Dowager Liu closed her eyes and turned the rosary twice, and said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, isn't it good for everyone's wife to be peaceful, so you have to fight back and forth." That little girl is not wrong, this is my An's family affairs, the first emperor died, I am a widow, in charge of family affairs, teaching children and grandchildren, it is my duty, and I have not exceeded the rules, but these house slaves, under the banner of Kuangfu orthodoxy, stretched out their hands to the master one by one, trying to separate my mother and son, he is so good to hold the young master, shouldn't he be beaten?"
Liu Xian grinned and said, "That's what my sister said." What the little girl said, you should let the emperor listen to it, lest his heart turn away from you. ”
When the Queen Mother heard Liu Xian call her sister, she opened her eyes and looked at Liu Xian with a smile: "I have my own measure in this matter, and it is not so easy to think of the relationship between my mother and son." Do you have anything else to say?"
Liu Xianwei smiled and said, "My sister is really discerning. Speaking of which, Fang Jin has a sentence that can be regarded as to the point: The emperor is now fifteen years old, and it is time to prepare for the wedding. ”
When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she asked with a smile on her face: "The emperor's wedding? Who do you think the queen should choose?"
Liu Xian became anxious: "The queen is naturally our family Ting'er, there is no second choice, she has grown up in front of you since she was a child, and the emperor is a childhood sweetheart, and now she is a good story." ”
"Ting'er is not suitable. Empress Dowager Liu interrupted her younger brother's words, stared at him again and said: "I know that you have had this idea in your heart for a long time, and now this is what you think, that's it, if someone else mentions it to you, stay away from him from now on, don't be confused and be used as a gun." ”
Liu Xian's heart was abrupt, and he replied respectfully: "Yes." ”
For a while, he said: "Why is Ting'er not suitable? These girls of the Liu family, you like her the most, and say that she looks the most like you, and then with her appearance and character, if she is not suitable, there is no suitable Liu family anymore, does the queen want to come from another family? Forgive my brother for saying a disrespectful word, my sister must always think about the Liu family in a hundred years." ”
Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "It is for the sake of the Liu family that I can't make Ting'er the queen." With her appearance, there is indeed no one else in the world, but her arrogant temperament, if she is the future, will definitely cause trouble to the Liu family in the future. Besides, Hao'er has been weak since she was a child, and she should find a gentle and considerate queen. Moreover, Ting'er has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and the emperor has always disliked her temperament, and pinched the two of them together, and they must be a pair of resentful couples. ”
