Chapter 371: Mother and Son
Rong Qing's qualifications are mediocre, and he usually has King Gaomi and Qi Jianxun taking turns to break up and crumple his talk, but recently there have been frequent accidents, and his father and father-in-law are busy and lacking skills.
At this time, I heard that my father had eaten the pastry made by my niece brought by my brother-in-law, and I was panicking in my heart, and I was speechless for a moment when I heard the words, and saw that Fang Anshi next to me frequently cast a look to stabilize himself, and said calmly: "Great Commander, what should I do after three or two days, isn't this what my father said earlier?" Because the northern Xinjiang was betrayed by Meng Boqin, and now the northern Xinjiang army is retreating all the way to Chang'an, on the one hand, we are guarding against Shanglin Yuan, on the other hand, we are trying to meet the eldest uncle, first leveling the Shanglin rebels, suppressing the Chaogang, and finally pouring the strength of the country to deal with Ruru......"
"Shizi, I have heard these words from the prince before, so I naturally know it. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tao Fu and said, "However, as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune!
"So even if the prince has arranged it in an orderly manner before, it is uncertain that there will be any accidents!"
"The meaning of the last general is to ask the prince, if the current situation changes, for example, if Meng Guiyu suddenly comes to attack, the Northern Xinjiang Army will not retreat in time, and the damage will be too ...... What are you going to do?"
Fang Anshi frowned and wanted to come forward, but Tao Fu took the first step, smiled at him, and said in a soft or hard manner: "Fang Shangshu, the last general is asking the prince, is it not appropriate for you to be the old Yue Ling?"
“…… If Guo and Ruoguo Meng Guiyu suddenly attacked, the Northern Xinjiang Army had not yet arrived in Gyeonggi, so it would naturally ...... Naturally, it was still up to the Great Commander to lead the forbidden army to resist. Rong Qingchu tried hard to think of the words of the reply, and said in the future, "My father has never been in good health, and this time he was treated in a timely manner, even if he can't get better in three or two days, how can he speak after five or six days......
Tao Fu chuckled lightly and said, "So the plan of the prince is to let us find a way to drag the prince to come to his senses and preside over the overall situation on the sickbed?"
Rong Qing hurriedly said: "It's understandable to do this at present......
"Then dare to ask the prince, if Ruru Khan Na Fuzhen announces his personal expedition next, what help did Meng Guiyu's side get to storm Chang'an, and Qi Shangshu's side is not good...... What should we do?" Tao Xuan narrowed his eyes and interrupted again, "Please don't always count on the prince, it's better to tell your own opinion!"
"......" Rong Qingchu was silent for a while, raised his head, and suddenly said, "Great Commander, if I don't have any good opinions, what are you going to do?
Tao Yu didn't expect him to ask himself like this, but he was stunned for a moment before he said: "The prince thinks too much! The last general was originally the commander of the forbidden army, and now Meng Guiyu is sitting in the position of the last general, although he hasn't attacked my Tao family for a while, but it's just because the situation is undecided now, he can't spare this hand!"
"Even those Tao family members in Shanglin Yuan who have never rebelled, under his hands, the future is also slim!"
"What's more, the last general?"
"Besides, the last general is not the kind of person who goes to the end of the day, since he voted for the prince at the beginning, there is no reason to betray the master at this time!"
Speaking of this, he changed his words and said again, "So the prince of the world does not need to be suspicious and think that the last general will give you an ultimatum! The last general just hopes that you can prepare for the worst, lest something really happens, and you are helpless! In this case, even if the last general is loyal to you, but at a critical moment, he may not be able to suppress the people below!"
Rong Qingchu and Fang Anshi were silent when they said this.
After a while, Rong Qingchu whispered, "I will think about the various situations that the Great Commander said...... However, for now, I have to entrust the Grand Commander with one thing!"
"It's the poisoning of my father and brother-in-law, and the doctor has found out that it was the dim sum made by Dong Lai brought by my brother-in-law, mixed with the juice of the broken intestines!"
"But I don't believe that my brother-in-law and Dong Lai will be bad for my father!"
"Who did this, if the Great Commander is out of the air, please help find out!"
Tao Fu agreed, hugged his fists and said: "If the prince has no other instructions, the last general will retire first!"
After he left, the room was silent for a while, and Rong Qingshu asked Fang Anshi: "Old Shangshu, do you think what he said about not betraying is true or false?"
Fang Anshi thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Shizi, the old man doesn't get along with him much, it's hard to say! However, no matter whether his oath is true or not, one thing is very reasonable: that is, the various unexpected situations he said, you must first think about how to deal with them, so as not to make a mess after the incident, without a charter, so that the people below will follow and become a mess!"
Rong Qingchu took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Lao Shangshu, I will be so scheming, and I will never disappoint you!"
Having said that, he then urgently convened his staff to discuss for a while, but he couldn't come up with any amazing ideas.
At this time, Princess Gaomi received the news and came over in person.
The princess first went to see King Gaomi and Yuan Liuguang, the two sons-in-law were poisoned, and although their lives were in danger at this time, they were still asleep.
The princess only stood a little in front of the sickbed, and then retreated to the flower hall outside, and ordered someone to summon Rong Qingyu to speak.
Rong Qingchu was racking his brains with his staff to think of countermeasures, and when he heard this, he hurriedly confessed and hurried over.
When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw that the princess only brought Aunt Zhao to serve, and the rest were waved back on the corridor.
The slender fingertips of spring onions play with the seven-petal sunflower tea bowl painted with ink and color, and the tea soup in the bowl is fragrant, mixed with the cold fragrance used by the princess, so that Rong Qingyu, who has stepped into the threshold, has a moment of trance.
I remembered that almost 20 years ago, when Rong Sleeping Crane had not yet had an accident, and when the Gaomi Mansion was still prosperous and bustling, he happened to visit his mother in Xiangji Hall.
It's just that at that time, Princess Gaomi was dignified and full of vitality, even if she loved to use cold incense, she only looked noble and different, but the princess at this moment was indescribably bleak and lonely, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were haggard.
"Mother!" Rong Qing calmed down, stepped forward to salute, and said softly, "Are you coming to see your father and brother-in-law?" Don't worry, the imperial doctor said, they are fine......
"I've asked the doctor. Princess Gaomi raised her eyes, looked at him, her eyes were very complicated, pointed to the seat in front of her, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "Don't talk about those gossips at the moment, let's just say that Rong Jing will have at least three or five days before she can fully wake up...... This is still a good situation. ”
"These days, you think to yourself, can you hold on?"
Rong Qingchu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The child can only say that he will do his best!"
"That's what I thought, too. Princess Gaomi said sadly, "Sometimes I really prefer to exchange your character for talent, so that you don't have to be so tired all these years, and He'er may not need to be away from home for so long......"
Hearing the younger brother, Rong Qingchu subconsciously lowered his eyes, hiding the bitterness and complexity under his eyes, and said a little crampedly: "It's all the child's incompetence that hurt the third brother!"
"It's not your brother's fault. Princess Gaomi shook her head and said, "This is too stupid and wasteful for me to be a concubine, and I haven't protected you well!"
Her eyes sparkled, and she said lightly, "In this situation, I, as a concubine, have nothing to help you." I just want to remind you: if you feel that you have no power to return to the sky, and Rong Jing is not well at that time...... Try to contact the crane!"
Aunt Zhao turned her head a little unbearably, and out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to catch a glimpse of Rong Qingchu trembling subconsciously.
"It's not that I'm favoring the crane. Princess Gaomi pursed her lips for a moment and explained in a low voice, "It's just...... If you have to fall into the hands of someone else, at least you and He'er are brothers. ”
"Mother, as you know, the child has always wanted to give up the position of the son to the third brother. Rong Qingchu was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "But Father...... If the father is good, the child will be ...... Right now...... Child...... Do you know why my father has always disliked the third brother...... Although the child used to think ...... But over the years...... Especially in the past two years...... The child is really ...... Don't dare to risk your father...... Mother, the child knows that you love the third brother and the child, but this matter is ...... It's not that the child himself doesn't want to let the third brother go. ”
Princess Gaomi smiled abruptly and said, "So you also believe Rong Jing's nonsense?!"
Seeing that Rong Qing was silent, she looked down at the tea bowl in her hand, was silent for a moment, and got up, "Forget it, I don't want to care about you anymore, love is what, just do it!"
After leaving the flower hall for a long time, Aunt Zhao, who had been following Princess Gaomi, dared to speak: "Niangniang, the prince has always been filial, and now the prince has just been lying on the couch, and the prince is upset and does not dare to take risks. ”
"In the final analysis, it was Rong Jing who coaxed him over!" Princess Gaomi was expressionless and said in a cold voice, "In his mind, Rong Jing is more important than He'er, and it is much more important!"
Aunt Zhao smiled: "Niangniang, the young and the young are orderly, and the father who is born is naturally more important than the younger brother of the same country! Not to mention that the son of the world has been with the prince for many years, and he is also deeply favored by the prince." As for the king of the county, the day of his return is not long...... What's more, even if the prince refuses your suggestion, it's not that we can't send someone to tell the county king about Chang'an's current predicament? In the end, the county king is your biological son, if you know that you are in danger, it is impossible to ignore it!"
"Deeply favored?" Princess Gaomi sneered, "My eldest son is too good-tempered and ungrudgeful, so much so that he has forgotten the days when he was trembling!!"
Aunt Zhao was suddenly silent.
“…… I won't send someone to find He'er myself!" the princess calmed down before continuing, "After all, I am only a princess, and I have no right to represent the attitude of Rong Jing's faction. If I go to He'er, even if I reach an agreement in private, Rong Jing will turn his face and deny people in the future, but teach me how to explain to He'er?"
"Not to mention ......"
She was silent for a moment, and then said faintly, "These days, the crane couple have never said a word, and I don't know how they are doing......? I don't want to bother him because of myself. ”
Aunt Zhao said uncomfortably: "But the prince can't preside over the overall situation for the time being, the prince ...... Although the character of the prince is first-class, he is not good at intrigue, and now the people in Chang'an City are panicking, once the prince can't control the scene, at that time, the huge palace will be in danger of overturning!"
Princess Gaomi said indifferently: "Then what do you think, what else can I do?"
When the princess decided to go with the flow and resign herself to fate, Tao Fu was discussing a way out with her subordinates.
