198 Reunion after a long absence (1)
Yan Yunnuan smiled and said: "Eighth sister, don't worry, you can't run, and there is a seventh sister to testify, how can you break your promise." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "That is, Eighth Sister, I have me to testify to you, I don't know how to worry, besides, what Mrs. Pingyang Hou said, but it is the same." Yan Yunzhu was nakedly teasing Yan Yunnuan, and the three sisters chatted happily. It seems to have returned to the time when they were still in Yanfu, Donglin County, and talked about life together.
Yan Dongnan returned to the house in the evening, and when he heard that Yan Yunnuan returned to the house today, he blamed the Li family for not keeping her. "Master, the concubine thinks clearly, since Xiao Jiu has decided to stay outside and not return home, then it is up to her. There will always be a day when I believe that she will return home, and the concubine knows that it will embarrass the master, but Xiao Jiu's temperament is stubborn, and the concubine is unwilling to force her. Li lowered his head guiltily, and Yan Dongnan still wanted to discuss countermeasures with Li.
It's good now, before he can speak, the Li family has already surrendered. "No, madam, Xiao Jiu is still a child, and she can't rely on her temperament. As parents, we have to think clearly for her, listen to the husband, I have already made arrangements for this matter, and you can just listen to my orders when the time comes!" Yan Dongnan didn't even eat dinner, and threw up his sleeves and left. Li shook his head helplessly, on one side is her husband, and on the other side is her daughter-in-law, what can she do?
For many days in a row, the ministers kept silent, and they didn't dare to ask more about the eldest prince and Concubine Li. When the saint asked them what to do with the eldest prince, they all bowed their heads and remained silent. The angry saint was so angry that the officials related to the eldest prince had already been imprisoned, and their families were naturally not spared. When he returned to the imperial study, he covered his chest with his hands, and the pain was unbearable.
Gonggong Lin couldn't help but take a step forward: "Holy Lord, the old slave will go to pass on the royal doctor." He was stopped by the saint stretching out his hand: "Come back, go and find the second and third princes." "He knows that it is useless to find a doctor, it is better to do the right thing. The second prince and the third prince soon appeared in front of the saint, and the saint looked at them quietly for a moment. smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up! Gonggong Lin, give the two princes a seat." ”
After they sat down, they gave Minister Lin a look, and Gong Lin closed the door and left. "The matter of the eldest prince really hurts me, as my eldest son, I treat him well. But he wanted to kill his father and his brother, and committed such heinous evils. What do you think I should do with him?" the Holy Lord handed over the problem to them, and the Holy Lord had already dealt with many officials who were silent in the court.
Now it is the turn of the second prince and the third prince, and the second prince respectfully stood up and said: "Back to my father, my son feels that although the eldest prince is heinous and has committed heinous crimes, he is the eldest son of his father after all, so he still spares his life." The saint glanced at the second prince and did not squeak. Then his eyes fell on the third prince, and his opinion was completely different from that of the second prince. The eldest prince should be killed to set an example.
If you do such a thing which God is angry with, how can you remain in the world, and you should be dealt with quickly. If there is a consensus, the saint can make a decision, but now he is also in trouble: "Okay, I know, you all go down! I am tired, you have to think about it." After they all left, the saint said softly, "Come out!" The queen slowly walked up to the saint, helped him up, and walked to the window.
Looking at the colorful flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, the saint's mood improved a lot. "You heard that, Queen, how do you think I should decide?" asked the Empress for her opinion, and the Empress bowed her head and remained silent. It's not easy for her to intervene in this kind of thing, the status of the eldest prince in the heart of the saint, I'm afraid that the second prince and the third prince can't compare, and doing such a thing really hurts the saint's heart.
I never thought that on the second day, the saint would summon Yan Yunnuan into the palace, and before he finished breakfast, Yan Yunnuan hurriedly followed Gonggong Lin into the palace to meet the saint. When she arrived at the imperial study, the saint comforted her, whether she was shocked to hunt in the paddock. Yan Yunnuan's reaction was very natural, like a girl who had seen the world. The treatment of her like a young master before may be good.
"Come, come to me, and let me take a good look. The saint beckoned gently, and Yan Yunnuan got up and stepped forward. After a while, the saint spoke calmly: "Yan Yunnuan, what do you think I should do with the eldest prince?" Yan Yunnuan was shocked, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't ask her opinion on this matter. It's hard for her to say, Yan Yunnuan bowed her head and said nothing. "Why, I ask you! Just answer me truthfully, and I will not blame you. ”
The saint played with the jade wrench in his hand, and Yan Yunnuan replied respectfully: "Saint, the little woman feels that this matter is a family matter of the saint, and it is not good to speak, so please forgive the saint." "I'm a family matter, isn't it? You really think so, I'm afraid not! Since I've come to you, I want to hear you tell you the truth, and if you do it perfunctory, it will be in vain for my hard work." ”
The saint sighed earnestly, the matter of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom was a big mess, and the saint couldn't worry about it, and he didn't worry about it like this. But I don't know how long God has given him a lifespan, and how many days he can live. At present, we must hurry up and arrange the aftermath of the funeral, and give an explanation to the queen and the subjects of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. If the transfer of the throne is not handled well, I am afraid that after his death, the second prince and the third prince will inevitably kill each other, and the people of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom will suffer.
Looking at the lonely old man in front of him, no longer the king of a country high above, Yan Yunnuan shook his hands: "That little woman has the courage to say bluntly, the eldest prince can't be killed." "Why?" the saint asked, his thoughts echoing those of the second prince. I want to hear Yan Yunnuan's thoughts, Yan Yunnuan actually thinks very simply, if the saint really kills the eldest prince, in the eyes of the world, he is narrow-minded and can't even tolerate his own son. Moreover, he will make the people dissatisfied with him.
On the other hand, if the life of the eldest prince is kept, the people will feel that the saint is tolerant and generous. Let's just say that if the son of an ordinary family makes a mistake, the father will forgive him. Why can't you go to the royal family, do you really say it to outsiders, since ancient times, the royal family has no parental brotherhood? Yan Yunnuan doesn't believe it, people's hearts are flesh and blood. The eldest prince can avoid the death penalty, and it is impossible to escape his life, but it is better for him to live than to die for the rest of his life, and it is better than to die and damage the wisdom of the saint.
After Yan Yunnuan finished speaking, he kept his head down, not daring to look at the face of the saint. The saint was thinking about Yan Yunnuan's words with a straight face, I am afraid that any minister would not dare to tell him what Yan Yunnuan had just said. Which of the ministers in the court is not a human spirit, and knows how to tend to the flames, and how many outspoken ministers can there be? As the saying goes, loyalty is good for deeds, and the saint's face showed a hint of joy.
Then he asked: "Then do you think I should pass the throne to the second prince or the third prince?" How could Yan Yunnuan be asked this and let her be a girl's family to criticize herself. quickly knelt down: "Shengshang, this is a political matter above the court, the little girl doesn't understand, please forgive me." "Yan Yunnuan, don't be perfunctory, I know you have something in your heart, so why not say it and let me hear it." Besides, I won't blame you, and I won't tell anyone, and you can rest assured that only God knows about it, and I know it. ”
The saint is inducing Yan Yunnuan, if he had known this earlier, Yan Yunnuan should really have entered the court as an official. Her insights are unique, and her thoughtfulness makes sense. It's not too late now, Gonggong Lin is also muttering outside the imperial study, why did the saint summon Yan Yunnuan into the palace? After talking for a long time in the imperial study, I don't know what he was talking about. Their voices were too low to be heard against the door.
The Holy Lord really values the two Hou masters stationed at the border, Pingyang Hou and Dingbei Hou, but there is no need to talk to Yan Yunnuan for so long. Thinking of this, Gonggong Lin couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and he had to hurry up and tell Concubine Tian and let her prepare in advance. In case the Holy Lord asked Yan Yunnuan to inform the Marquis of Pingyang to return to Beijing, it would be very bad for the situation in the capital.
Take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, since Concubine Tian can afford him, then he naturally has to be worthy of her trust. Concubine Tian soon received a secret report from Gonggong Lin, and couldn't help but send guards out to keep an eye on Yan Yunnuan's every move. Yan Yunnuan left the imperial study soaking wet, and after all, he still didn't say, to whom should the throne of the Holy One be passed on? Just told the Holy Lord that the king of a country can not have great talents, but at least he must be benevolent and righteous.
I believe that the saint only weighs in his heart, and some things Yan Yunnuan is really hard to say. Besides, it's useless to say it, if it reaches the ears of the two princes, won't it cause trouble? Yan Yunnuan still wants to live a few more years, but he doesn't want to die young. At night, the saint has been in the imperial study, and no one has gone to the dormitory. The queen was still waiting for the saint, and finally heard that the saint stayed in the imperial study, so she picked up chopsticks and ate lonely.
In the harem, Concubine Tian and Concubine Xiao are fighting openly and secretly, and they are also bargaining chips for fighting, and they each have princes. The queen waited for the arrangement of the saint, and it was in vain to be anxious. Of course, Concubine Tian and Concubine Xiao both want to win over the queen, no matter which prince inherits the unification, the queen will be the queen mother in the future. In addition, the Holy Lord has been very kind to the queen recently, and he will definitely listen to the queen's opinion. In the study room of Dongyang Palace, Zhou Xingxing asked calmly: "Father, which prince do you support now?"
"Which prince do you think your father should support?" King Dongyang asked rhetorically, Zhou Xingxing was slightly stunned: "Father, Erchen thinks that the second prince is benevolent and righteous, and he should support him." Besides, the second prince has always been very close to the Ming State Mansion, which is very good for our palace. "The Three Princes and Concubine Xiao didn't move around with the Dongyang Palace, and Zhou Xingxing would not support the Three Princes.
King Dongyang should pay attention now, the paddock hunting has aroused the suspicion of the saint. Above the court, the saint was quite cold to the king of Dongyang, not as affectionate as before. King Dongyang was not very enthusiastic about Zhou Xingxing's proposal, but he didn't refute it, and walked out of his study in a daze, and Zhou Xingxing involuntarily went out of the house and came to the outside of Dugu Mansion. He was powerless to change the marriage of the saint, Duguting wanted to marry the third prince, so he couldn't let the king of Dongyang support the three princes. When Duguting became the mother of a country, his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
I want to see Duguting, but what can I say when I go in, she must be happily embroidering her wedding dress at this moment, preparing to be the third princess. can only hide his love for Duguting deep in his heart, if the third prince loses power, does it mean that he still has a chance? Once a person has an idea, it will spread wildly unscrupulously, and Zhou Xingxing firmly turned around and went home. The queen opened her mouth in surprise: "Holy Lord, Yan Yunnuan really said that?"
Sheng Shang shook his head gently: "Empress, do you think it is necessary for me to joke with you? If I had known that she was a talent, I would have let her enter the court as an official a long time ago." But it's a pity that as a daughter, her identity has been exposed. I promised her to the Marquis of Pingyang, and I have been extrajudicially gracious. If she is allowed to enter the court as an official again, I am afraid that she will bring trouble. In particular, I also heard that she has been living outside and does not want to go back to Yanfu. ”
It is enough to show that Yan Yunnuan has a strong and unyielding temperament, if he is really a man, he will definitely be able to serve the country. The queen said with pity: "Holy Lord, what you said is really a pity. But marry her to the Marquis of Pingyang, will it ......" Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the saint, "Empress, don't think too much." I feel that her words are right, even if she can't expand her territory as a monarch, she can't make the Eastern Zhou Kingdom lose face. It is necessary to be diligent in government and love the people, otherwise the country will have no peace. Queen, I'm afraid I won't live long, and I won't be able to be by your side. In the future, you will be alone, and I will not be reluctant. ”
The saint suddenly changed his words, took the queen's hand, and as soon as she mentioned this, the queen couldn't help but lower her head. It has not been a peaceful sleep for several days, and it is in vain to lie down, close its eyes, and its mind is thinking wildly, and it is in vain to order it not to think. In the end, I didn't fall asleep until dawn, but unfortunately I had to get up early to ask about the situation of the saint. The queen's whole person has lost weight, and the saint sees it in her eyes and hurts in her heart.
But there is nothing he can do, as the king of a country, sometimes there are things he can't do, it's really sad. Everyone in the world envies the king of a country who is high above, but they don't know that he is not in his position and does not seek his government. The eldest prince's action of hunting in the paddock broke his heart even more. The second princess waited outside the queen's palace to see her, but was sent away by the queen. The current situation is critical, and the queen can't let Concubine Xiao be proud.
It is best to be impartial on both sides, the Holy One already has his plans, and the queen only needs to fully support him. Yan Yunnuan finally waited for Ye Qing to take Yan Yunchun back to the capital three days later and saw her again, Yan Yunnuan immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly. The joy of reunion after a long absence was beyond words, and Ye Qing closed the door and left with interest. Yan Yunchun has not changed anything except for the bulge in his stomach.
Yan Yunnuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, Yan Yunju was only less than three months pregnant, and her face was a lot plump. Look at Yan Yunchun again, he is really haggard. I'm afraid that Yan Yunmei's people will find her and make her think too much. But now it's good, now that Yan Yunchun has arrived in the capital, Yan Yunnuan must take good care of her and raise her to be fat and fat. In this way, it is good to explain to the little nephew in the belly, thinking of this, Yan Yunnuan couldn't help laughing.
Yan Yunchun has been worried these days, and begged Yan Yunnuan to find a place for her to hide and give birth to a child safely. Originally, Yan Yunchun didn't want this child at first, it was her shame. Because the child is not Wang Hao's, she and Wang Hao's ten-year husband and wife relationship should also be this child.
