Chapter 041: You're Stupid
Master Miaozhen did not feel half sincere and respectful to the emperor of the Great Qi Empire, but instead said two 'fools' in a row. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The first sentence is an allusion to the courtiers who fooled Xiao Ye's children's shoes as fools;
The second sentence directly scolds the courtiers for being fools, but the problem is that the emperor who promotes a fool to be an official is not very smart.
Speaking of which, the sword pointed directly at the emperor, looking at the world, and daring to sneer at him in front of the emperor, there are really few people, even those imperial historians who want to seek the reputation of 'loyal ministers' and 'self-ministers', and they don't dare to be so single, and they will pay attention to rhetoric when admonishing.
But Miao really did it, and he did it with confidence and no fear.
What's even more strange is that the emperor is not angry.
I saw him rub his nose, like all the loving elders who tolerate bear children, and asked helplessly and dotingly: "Who made you angry again?" β
Listen, the emperor didn't know anything yet, so he set the tone first - no matter who Miaozhen had a conflict with, it must be the other party who was wrong.
No wonder the magnates in the capital say that the queen mother and the emperor really love Miaozhen, and this indiscriminate protection alone is enough to prove it.
Miaozhen was accustomed to it, she still didn't answer the emperor's words, and continued to comment on this recital: "Sage, this guy has bad intentions and wants to slander Zhongliang. β
The emperor glanced at Miao Zhen fixedly, sighed, and said, "Oh, what did Auntie find out was wrong?" β
His eyes are a little wandering, he has known Auntie for almost forty years, Auntie has always been a quiet character, plus she grew up in the court all the year round, 'Joy and anger are invisible' has long become an instinct of Auntie.
And there have only been a few cases of such emotional exposure in the past few decades.
The most recent time, more than ten years ago, there was fusion in the palace, and Ah Yu and the concubine turned against each other, killed the cheap man with their own hands, and then insisted on becoming a nun.
The Queen Mother tried her best to dissuade him, and Ah Yu made a big fuss, and then hugged the Queen Mother and cried for most of the night.
Thinking of the past, the emperor suddenly felt sour in his heart, and the guilt for Master Miaozhen became more and more intense, and the trace of innocence that had just been born because of Miaozhen's rudeness also disappeared.
Miao Zhen saw the emperor's reaction, but did not show it.
The two have known each other for decades, longer than their parents, siblings and their respective spouses, and there was a time in the past when the two were dependent on each other in the cold harem, and they couldn't tell whether they were family or friendship.
The emperor knows Miaozhen, and Miaozhen is not the person who knows the emperor in the world?!
Seeing him like this, Miao Zhen knew that she could achieve her goal today.
She unfolded the recital, walked slowly to the front of the imperial case, and pinched a trace under a line of words with her fingernails, "It is said here that Qi Jinzhi used the Yi people to celebrate the Torch Festival, intending to suppress the local noble clan by force, but he didn't want to have an accident, hundreds of people were killed, and countless people were injured......"
The emperor nodded, he had already read it carefully, and naturally remembered the above content. I just didn't find any problems.
Miao Zhen sneered and said coolly: "As far as I know, the Torch Festival of Yiren is June 24th, and I will ask the sage a word, 'What is the day today'?" β
The corner of the emperor's eyes twitched, yes, it seems that this aunt and grandmother are so angry that she even threw out the most impatient poems on weekdays.
In order not to anger his aunt and grandmother, the emperor obediently replied: "It seems to be June 28." β
Miao Zhen stepped up the ridicule, "It was June 24 when it happened, oh no, wait, let me think about it, the Torch Festival seems to have started at night, that is to say, it was late at night on the 24th, and in the early morning of the 28th, the bullet seal had already been placed on the saint's desk, leaving aside the time for the imperial history to write the recital, it took a maximum of three days in between." β
Miao Zhen threw the song to the ground and took a sip, "What about the liar! Usa is nearly two thousand miles away from the capital, and part of the road is still rugged mountain roads, even if you ride a fast horse, it will take four or five days to get the news to the capital. It only took three days for this guy to get the information. It's really a 'capable minister'. β
The word Nengchen is tactful and sarcastic!
The emperor is not stupid, he was angry when he watched the recital, and he was negligent for a while, so that Miao Zhen said this, and he came back to his senses.
Yes, Usa is no more remote than other places, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is impossible for the news to spread so quickly.
And the emperor is a politician in the end, once his brain is activated, it is far more than Miao Zhen thinks, and he soon discovered a problem: Qi Jinzhi's violence provoked a popular uprising, and the news was reported to the capital, and the first thing to know should be the cabinet, or the military department, not a small imperial history.
But it was a royal history who took the lead in the bullet seal, in the meantime, either the news was false, and the imperial history deliberately exaggerated the facts in order to 'make a name', or simply framed Qi Jinzhi; Either that, there is something else hidden in the rebellion of the people of Usa.
If it's the former, it's okay, just punish those who pick up the thorn history.
But if it's the latter...... Well, it seems that Usa has not had a county order selected by the imperial court for more than ten years, and it is not that the officials are derelict in their duties, but that no one is willing to go. The question is, why is no one willing to go?
No matter how remote Wusa is, in the end it is still inland, an island like Qiongzhou, and there are different people who are willing to be officials? !
What are the shady secrets of Fei Wusa?
For the sake of secrecy, some people there tried every means to obstruct the past officials of the imperial court?
And Qi Jinzhi is more confident than those predecessors, young and vigorous, and not afraid of local power, those people are annoyed, so they deliberately create rumors, wanting to transfer Qi Jinzhi away by the hand of the imperial court, or simply depose? !
The emperor's mind was opened, and many details that he had not paid attention to in the past were all clear, and I have to say that some of his guesses are still very reliable, and they are very close to the truth.
The emperor realized that the political situation in the southwest had changed, and he couldn't help frowning.
If he is in front of a courtier or a concubine, the emperor may still cover it up, but he is too familiar with Miaozhen, and the other party can detect each other's glances and subtle movements.
"Got it?"
Miao Zhen deliberately put on a straight face, and said angrily: "The saint is too, the use of people is not suspicious, although the Qi family kid is young, but he is not a reckless person, the Qi family is in decline, the saint is mighty, giving him the opportunity to revitalize the family business, in public and private, he will work hard to do things and seek political achievements, how can he be wanton?!" β
The emperor smiled good-naturedly and said again and again: "What Ah Yu said is that Ah Yu understands." β
Seeing that the emperor was like this, Miao Zhen couldn't continue to hang a late girl's face, burst into a shallow smile, and said: "Where do I want to understand, the saint is just complicated in government affairs, and he is worried about the world. When you are angry, you will naturally be able to find the problem, and you don't need me to do much at all. β
The emperor stretched out his hand and patted Miaozhen on the shoulder, "Auntie, I said it again, we are a family that can't be closer, and there is no need to be outside." "Sycophants or something, don't shoot anymore.
It's not that the emperor doesn't want to hear good words, but it really depends on who the person is. Others, the emperor was just happy to be flattered.
And Miao Zhen, uh, forget it, this aunt is too black-handed, from childhood to adulthood, as long as she is coquettish and patted on the back, he will be properly 'slaughtered'.
From gold and jade jewelry to official titles, over the years, the emperor has been pitted by Miaozhen.
It hurt him to have sequelae, and when he saw Miaozhen's smiling face, he couldn't help but want to cover his purse.
Miao Zhen's smile became brighter and brighter, almost blinding the emperor's kryptonite dog eyes, only to hear her say softly: "Since it is a family, then I am not welcome, sage, the Qi family kid is clearly cheated by someone, in front of you, those people dare to openly slander him, in Wusa, unfamiliar with life, that kid may not have suffered much." So, sage, do you think you give that boy a little 'grace'? β
The emperor's heart trembled, but he still sensitively grasped the key point, and suddenly asked: "You, have you recognized 'her'?" Not afraid to get it wrong again? β
Miao Zhen's smile froze on her lips, she closed her eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger churning in her chest, and said coldly: "Am I mistaken, you should know better than me, sage!" Take 10,000 steps back, even if I am mistaken, I admit it, who made me offend the gods and Buddhas all over the world in my previous life, and deserve to suffer in this life. β
Miao Zhen flicked her sleeves, turned around and left, and left a sentence before leaving, "That child is my life, if the saint still cares about the love of the past, help me to protect her for a lifetime of glory and wealth." β
If you feel that the relationship between them is not as good as an obsession in your heart, then act as if she didn't say anything!
Miao Zhen didn't say the last sentence, but the emperor understood it very well.
Sighing, the emperor said, "Okay, whatever you want, I promise you." However, Auntie, I really didn't know about the child back then. If I knew, I would tell you that I would never have let you suffer for so many years. β
Miao Zhen paused in front of the threshold, she didn't look back, and asked in a low voice: "Back then?" So you know it all now? β
After that, Miao Zhen didn't hesitate anymore, and walked out of the main hall.
The emperor opened his mouth, but still did not utter a word of rebuttal. They know each other too well, and some things are the same with or without words!
"Someone, Xuan Shoufu and a few scholars, oh, by the way, go to Xiqi and call Qi Lingxian as well."
The emperor sat silently on the throne for a long time before he raised his voice and commanded.
Miao Zhen strode out of the main hall, suddenly felt a chill on his face, reached out to touch it, and found that he had cried out at some point.
Wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, Miao Zhen couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and after enduring it for more than ten years, she still asked that sentence and broke the beautiful illusion with her own hands.
Perhaps, from now on, it will be difficult for her and the emperor to restore the old relationship.
Perhaps, the emperor gave birth to a mustard for her.
Maybe......
But Miaozhen doesn't regret it, she has been in a mess for more than ten years, and she doesn't want to be confused anymore in the future.
"Master, do you want to go back to the dormitory to rest?"
The maid dressed as a nun stepped forward and said with concern.
Miao Zhen is a monk, but her palace is still preserved in the palace, which is near Cining Palace.
"No, go back to the nunnery!" Miao Zhen sniffed and commanded coldly.
The maids didn't dare to say more, so they obediently followed behind her, hugging Miaozhen and walking out.
"Huh? Isn't that Qi Yao's? β
Miaozhen's eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and she couldn't help but pause, carefully identify it, and then frowned.
It is not uncommon for Yao Xiruo to enter the palace, but to Miaozhen's surprise, she did not go to Cining Palace or Kunning Palace at this moment, but went straight to Concubine Liu Xian's residence.
Didn't you say that Qi Yao's family and Concubine Liu Xian were not in harmony, why did they suddenly have a relationship?!
Miao Zhen's eyes flashed, and she continued to walk out, and as she walked, she instructed the maid beside her: "Later, you can find an opportunity to go around the palace and ask Qi Yao what is going on." Also, there has been something abnormal about Queen Ma and several concubines recently. β
The maid agreed, walked to the palace gate, put Miaozhen in the carriage, found a reason casually, and turned back to the palace.
She was originally a palace maid in the palace, and there were many little sisters who were good friends in the past, plus Miaozhen's status was transcendent, and the maid was Miaozhen's personal maid, and she also had some face in the palace.
Those concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs were also happy to make friends with her.
Walking down in a circle, there was no need to deliberately probe, and the maid got a lot of useful information.
Back at Jingyue Nunnery, Miaozhen's mood had calmed down, and she quietly listened to the maid's return.
"Qi Yao's family is going to see Concubine Liu Xian?"
Miao Zhen squinted her eyes, covered the light under her eyes, and saw a doctor? Who are you fooling, is it really a decoration in the hospital?
Miaozhen habitually twisted her fingers, she grew up in the court, she was used to seeing conspiracy and conspiracy, and she was a thoughtful person, connecting several clues, thinking about it carefully, and vaguely guessed: Maybe it was really seeing a doctor, but Qi Yao's eyes were not ordinary diseases, but Liu Xianfei's 'infertility'.
Immediately, Miao Zhen was a little puzzled, and muttered to herself: "I don't think Liu is stupid, how can he have such a stupid idea?" Or is someone hiding it from her and trying to give her a 'surprise'? β
Thinking of this, Miao Zhen couldn't help but scold: "Fool! It's just stupid to be stupid, but to think of others as stupid! β
Miaozhen was muttering here, in the palace, Concubine Liu Xian had already raised her eyebrows and slapped the ninth princess in the face.
"Idiot, do you want to kill us?!"
The Ninth Princess's head was crooked, and she almost fell to the ground, she covered her face, turned her head, and looked at Concubine Liu Xian in disbelief: "Mother, mother, when am I going to hurt you?" "She's clearly trying to help, okay?
Concubine Liu Xian is good in everything, the only thing she lacks is that she has no son.
No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, Concubine Liu Xian can only get the title of a concubine and be sent to a cold palace to wait for death.
But it's different when you have a son, if you do it well, it's not impossible to push your son to the top.
Even if the little prince can't be the emperor, he can get a prince when he grows up, and as soon as Xiao Ye dies, Concubine Liu Xian can follow her son out of the palace, and being a prince and concubine in a beautiful scenery is far better than the desolate old dead harem.
The more the ninth princess thought about it, the more she felt that she had done nothing wrong, and she still wondered in her heart, if it weren't for seeing that Concubine Liu Xian was good to her, she might not really help her plan.
You must know that in order to help Concubine Liu Xian, the ninth princess had to temporarily abandon her grudge against Yao Xiruo, and instead 'cooperate' with this beautiful snake. SheβShe's taking a big risk.
As a result, she poured out her heart and lungs to help, and Concubine Liu Xian was not grateful, but she was still to blame? !
Idiot? The ninth princess hates people questioning her IQ the most, and every time she hears this word, she will think of the events of her previous life, and her heart is full of humiliation.
Unconsciously, the ninth princess looked at Concubine Liu Xian with a bit of fierceness and gloom in her eyes.
When Concubine Liu Xian threw out that slap, she regretted it a little, she was really shocked and angry just now, and she was a little out of shape for a while, and beat her daughter in a hurry.
As the saying goes, if you hit your child's body, it hurts your mother's heart, the ninth princess is Concubine Liu Xian's only child, how can she not feel distressed?
I was about to help my daughter up, so I comforted her, and told her carefully about it, but I met the frightened gaze head-on.
Oh my God, she, she hates her mother!
The five thunders hit the top and that, Concubine Liu Xian only felt a burst of blackness in front of her, her ears buzzed, and a fishy saltiness welled up in her throat, poof~~
Concubine Liu Xian clutched her chest and fell to the ground, before falling into a coma, she inadvertently saw that the ninth princess's face was intertwined with surprise, panic, and even happiness, but she did not feel distressed and guilty as a daughter.
This isn't her nine, no!
Concubine Liu Xian didn't notice it, she actually said this sentence, although her voice was very soft, but it was still heard by the ninth princess who ran over.
The ninth princess originally wanted to call the imperial doctor, but when she heard this, she suddenly stopped, her heart was pounding hard, her mouth was dry, and she couldn't help but want to swallow her saliva.
What to do, what to do, she actually discovered her secret.
The ninth princess was so anxious that she was going around in the empty room, she had lived a new life, she hadn't made up for the regrets of her previous life and lived the life she wanted, she, she didn't want to be burned to death as a monster.
Die? Yes, since it is irretrievable, I just have a good time.
The ninth princess bit her lower lip, grabbed a cushion and hid it behind her, slowly walked to Concubine Liu Xian, squatted down, and shouted tentatively: "Mother? Mother! Wake up! β
Concubine Liu Xian closed her eyes tightly, her breathing was short, and she didn't respond.
A touch of madness flashed in the eyes of the ninth princess, and she slowly brought the pillow in front of her, grabbed it with both hands, and then pressed it into Concubine Liu Xian's face.
At this moment, the outside suddenly remembered the voice of the palace maid, "Niangniang, princess, the fourth grandmother of the Qi family is here!" β
β¦β¦
Zhuo described it as a little embarrassed, the cockscomb fishtail hat on his head was long gone, and his long black hair was messy, and there were still burnt marks on the tips of his hair.
The floor-length skirt was torn in half, revealing a calf.
Her body was covered with black ash and mud, and if you looked closely, there were still a few big footprints on her back.
The little face was pale, with blood stains on his lips that had long since coagulated, and one of the shoes on his feet was missing, only wearing a sock, and although the other shoe was still there, it was trampled on so that it could not be seen as it was.
I saw her enter the Ma family with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the maid who came out saw it, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" β
"Oh my God, where did you go last night? Our wife has been looking for you for a long time, but she can't find you. β
"Yes, yes, Second Miss, our wife didn't sleep all night worrying, but fortunately you came back, otherwise she might not be in a hurry."
A few maids chattered, and then hugged Ah Zhuo into the main room.
Zhu got the report and hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Ah Zhuo's appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Ah Zhuo, my good sister, you're finally back, woo, if I can't find you again, I, I don't want to live,"
Zhu grabbed Ah Zhuo's two arms, and cried with distress in his eyes: "Ouch, what's wrong with you?" Is it so embarrassing? Are there any injuries on your body? β
After Ah Zhuo entered the door, his eyes were a little dull, and after seeing Zhu, his eyes were shining again.
She hugged Zhu suddenly, and cried at the top of her throat: "Anayi, I finally saw you, hey, last night was too scary, boom, it was like thunder." There was also such a big fire, and there were people everywhere, and I and everyone were so crowded that we almost got burned. Whew, and besides, while running, I accidentally fell and was trampled under my feet by a lot of peopleβ"
Azhuo cried hoarsely and wept, as if he wanted to vent all the horror he had received last night.
Zhu Shi was startled by this sudden cry, and his ears were ringing. She easily reacted, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Ah Zhuo was squeezing into her arms, and tears, snot, and dust were all rubbing against the new clothes she had just changed into today.
Straight mother's!
Zhu almost pushed Ah Zhuo away.
Ah Zhuo raised his head and let out an unpleasant cry as he showed his 'miserable situation' to the Zhu family one by one.
She tugged at a lock of hair first, "Anayi, you see, my hair is burnt, wow, this is a treasure that I have carefully maintained for several years, and it was almost burned out." β
Zhu secretly disliked it, but there was a gentle smile on his face, and he followed Ah Zhuo's hand and looked over, uh, isn't it just that the tips of the hair are a little burnt, the longest is not more than half an inch, just cut it off, why cry like a dead father?!
But he still had to follow Ah Zhuo's words to comfort: "Oh, how can this be? Zhuo, you were frightened. β
No matter how strong a girl is, if she sees her hair being burned, she should also be stimulated.
Ah Zhuo hung a wide range of tears and nodded vigorously, his face full of grievances.
Then she remembered something, turned around, and exposed her back, "Anayi, look here, woo, I was almost trampled to death, fortunately I crawled fast and escaped from the crowd, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me now." β
Zhu's expression was strange, and for some reason, seeing these large and small footprints, she actually had the urge to laugh.
Hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and Zhu said: "Ah Zhuo, I really can't stand you, I specially invited you to be a guest, but I almost killed you." By the way, how are your aunts doing? It was so chaotic last night, I escaped easily, and I was busy looking for Daddy and them, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. β
Ah Zhuo pursed his mouth, and suddenly cried screamingly, "Oh~~ Auntie, aunt...... Whew, I've heard that the center of the explosion is near Qingsong, and my aunt is standing there...... No, Anayi, the street has stabilized now, I, I'm going to find Auntie! β
As he spoke, he was about to run out, but he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.
Zhu hurriedly supported her, "Ah Zhuo, how weak do you look?" Still going out? Well, listen to me, let's go wash up, eat something, get some good sleep, and as for the outside, there is me. β
Zhu coaxed a child and led Ah Zhuo into the house.
Ah Zhuo was also tired, struggled twice, and then handed himself over to the Zhu family.
Zhu Shi glanced at Ah Zhuo, who trusted her all over his body, and couldn't help but curse 'fool' in his heart.
Ah Zhuo closed his eyes, leaned half of his body on Zhu's body, and sneered secretly: "Am I a fool? Phew, you're stupid, your whole family is stupid! β
