The Sixty-Fourth Confrontation (I)
Early the next morning, when Emperor Zhaoming went to court, Zheng Shi, the wife of Zhou Xingtian, the left attendant of the ministry, handed a sign into the palace. Naturally, she had to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye first, and the Queen Mother was quite happy to see her nephew and daughter-in-law come to say goodbye. After all, among the queen mother's nephews, the one who served as the real official was Zhou Xingtian, a distant nephew, and the other brothers and nephews were just vain. Therefore, the Queen Mother still values Zhou Xingtian, a distant nephew, even if the nephew and daughter-in-law are Liu Guifei's cousin, the Queen Mother is still very kind to her, and she is embarrassed by the relationship that she is Liu Guifei's cousin. 0
The concubine invited the Queen Mother. Zheng had a smile on his face, but there was a lingering sorrow in his eyes, which anyone could see.
Get up, why didn't Yao girl come with you? It's not that the Queen Mother didn't see the sorrow in Zheng's eyes, but she deliberately didn't ask, this Zheng is the kind of character who is soft and wipes tears at every turn, and the Queen Mother is unwilling to recruit her to wipe her tears in front of her early in the morning. Therefore, she only asked her favorite niece and granddaughter, Zhou Mengyao, the fourth lady of the Zhou Mansion.
When Zheng heard the Queen Mother ask about her daughter Zhou Mengyao, tears welled up in her eyes, she knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps to the Queen Mother, crying and begging: Queen Mother, please be the master of Mengyao......
The Queen Mother was taken aback, and immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Yao girl?"
Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs serving beside the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's brows furrowed even tighter, and with a wave of her hand, everyone retreated, and said in a deep voice: Can you say it now?
Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little unhappy, Zheng Shi hurriedly wiped her tears and explained: The Queen Mother forgives her sins, but this matter really involves Meng Yao's life, and the concubines have to be cautious and careful.
Go ahead! The Queen Mother said impatiently.
The Queen Mother, the young general of Huangfu touched Meng Yao's body, please give them a marriage. Zheng said while crying, and what he said was very clear.
What the? The Queen Mother was so shocked that she almost jumped up, what is the name of the Huangfu Major General touching Chu Yao's body, others don't know, but she knows very well, that Huangfu Jingbian is a daughter's family at all, even if she has great ability, she can't do the matter of polluting the body of other daughters.
Nonsense, Meng Yao is a young lady who lives in the boudoir, and Major General Huangfu has never been a guest in your mansion, how could she touch Meng Yao's body! In the end, I thought that the identity of Huangfu Jingbian's daughter's family was a secret, so the Queen Mother didn't say it, but just shouted coldly.
The Queen Mother, the concubine is Meng Yao's biological mother, if it weren't for this, how could the concubine pour dirty water on her biological daughter. I beg you to calm your anger and listen to the concubines. Zheng didn't think that the queen mother would be so angry, so she quickly kowtowed to the ground in fright, and hurriedly defended her daughter.
Say! The Queen Mother snorted coldly, obviously angry.
Yesterday Meng Yao went out of the city to visit her grandmother, when she returned to the city, she met bandits, and all the maids and sisters who went with her were killed, Meng Yao desperately ran away, and when she was about to be caught up by the bandits, she met Major General Huangfu, who picked Meng Yao on the horse and killed all the bandits, Meng Yao was frightened, and it was Major General Huangfu who woke her up and escorted her back. Queen Mother, you know Meng Yao's temperament, when she encounters such a thing, how can she stand it, if it weren't for the concubine's close attention last night, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid she's already ...... As soon as Zheng remembered that his daughter committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam last night, he couldn't help crying.
The Queen Mother knew that Huangfu Jingbian was a girl's family, even if she had close physical contact with her in order to wake up Zhou Mengyao, it would not stain Zhou Mengyao's innocence, so naturally she couldn't talk about marrying Zhou Mengyao in order to be responsible. Besides, how can a girl marry a wife?
Major General Huangfu's family mourning family has its own arrangements, and she will never be able to marry Meng Yao. The Queen Mother categorically stopped drinking, without a trace of hesitation at all. When Zheng heard this, he cried even more sadly, and shouted again and again: Queen Mother, please make the decision for Meng Yao......
The Queen Mother was very upset by crying, but she couldn't just tell the true identity of Huangfu Jingbian, so she had to say coldly: You go back to appease Yao girl, Major General Huangfu can't tarnish her innocence.
Zheng still has to cry and beg, the Queen Mother has already called someone to come in and send her out. Zheng had to wipe his tears with a handkerchief and retreated with a sob.
The Queen Mother looked at Zheng's back, her brows furrowed tightly. After a while, she ordered in a deep voice: Zheng is not allowed to enter the palace in the past few months. The palace people hurriedly answered and went down to deliver the decree.
Although Zheng touched a nose of ash at the Queen Mother, he still did not give up. She turned around and went to Liu Guifei's Guan Ju Palace.
Liu Guifei was very happy to hear that her cousin Zheng was coming, her cousin is a person who has the ability to come to things, and she has a good relationship with her, every time she enters the palace, she never leaves her empty hands, gold, silver, jewelry, rare antiques or something, and she is deeply attracted to Liu Guifei's heart.
The concubine invited the concubine Niangniang. Zheng knelt down and saluted with red eyes, and his voice was full of unconcealed crying.
Liu Guifei was taken aback, and immediately said: Cousin, hurry up, what's the matter, could it be that I have been wronged somewhere? What Liu Guifei said was actually referring to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, and she knew that the Zheng family had to go to the Queen Mother to ask for peace before entering the palace. After saying that, Concubine Liu Guifei waved her hand back from the people who served on the left and right, and called Zheng to her side.
Cousin, but the Queen Mother is embarrassed for you? Liu Guifei asked with a worried face.
Zheng shook his head and said aggrievedly: It doesn't matter what the concubine is, it's just that I can't stand Meng Yao being wronged. I thought that the Queen Mother really felt sorry for Meng Yao, but I didn't expect that it was actually just a face-saving feeling. The Queen Mother didn't take Meng Yao seriously at all.
Liu Guifei asked in surprise: What the hell is going on, you said it from the beginning, this has no beginning and no end is really incomprehensible.
Zheng Shifu said what he said in front of the Queen Mother again. As soon as Liu Guifei heard that her cousin's niece and daughter had suffered such grievances, she immediately said in a big way: It turned out that this was the case, that little thing stained Meng Yao's innocence, and dared to be irresponsible, cousin, don't worry, when the emperor comes back from the court, I will immediately ask the emperor to grant marriage.
Huangfu Jingde returned to the dynasty after victory, the father and son were extremely saintly, and Liu Guifei, as the first favorite concubine by Emperor Zhaoming's side, naturally knew it. Although she has a grudge against Huangfu Jingde's father and son because of the previous incident, if she wants her son to sit on the throne of the crown prince, Liu Guifei must let go of the resentment in her heart and win the support of Huangfu Jingde's father and son.
However, Huangfu Jingde's family has no female dependents, and their father and son are on vacation, which makes Liu Guifei and her three sons have no chance to get close to Huangfu Jingde's father and son. Concubine Liu was very irritable because of this matter, and she didn't want her cousin Zheng to give such a good opportunity. What could be better than getting two people closer to each other?
Although Liu Guifei likes Zhou Mengyao very much, she has never moved her mind to let Zhou Mengyao be her daughter-in-law. The daughter of the left attendant of the ministry, this status is still lower in the end, how can Liu Guifei have to marry her son to the daughter of the prince as the main concubine, if Zhou Mengyao really can't set a good family business, Liu Guifei doesn't mind giving her the title of a side concubine, but Liu Guifei hopes that Zhou Mengyao's family affairs can bring her greater benefits, and it is much more useful to be a concubine than to be a concubine.
Thank you for making it happen...... Zheng burst into tears of gratitude and screamed excitedly.
Liu Guifei patted Zheng's hand and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are not an outsider, Meng Yao also grew up in this palace, how can she be wronged. Moreover, Meng Yao is a talented girl in our Yanjing City, but she cheapened that wild boy for nothing. Liu Guifei was still resentful of Huangfu Yongning's beating of her son that day, and only said hatefully.
Zheng hurriedly said: That's the young general Huangfu, when they become relatives, Meng Yao will let him make amends to Niangniang.
Liu Guifei waved her hand and said: That's it, he married Meng Yao, that is, his own family, forget about the past, just be smarter in the future.
Zheng hurriedly said: Certainly, after they get married, Major General Huangfu will definitely be used by Niangniang.
Before the eight characters were skimmed, the cousins began to think about how to use the prestige of the Huangfu family in the army in the future to serve the bright future of Liu Guifei.
It is estimated that Mo Yue has reached the time of the Soon-to-Disperse Dynasty, Liu Guifei ordered her henchmen to invite Emperor Zhaoming to come to Guanju Palace, and she didn't want to wait for a long time and didn't wait for Emperor Zhaoming, but waited for the news that Emperor Zhaoming went to Cining Palace.
Zheng's face turned white at that time, and she hurriedly said: Niangniang, the Queen Mother didn't agree to this family business, in case ......
Concubine Liu Guifei's heart sank, the queen mother had always come to see her unpleasantly, and she was only close to the queen, if she was ...... Liu Guifei was heartbroken, and immediately said: Come here, pass on the will of the palace, and give Zhou Mengyao, the daughter of the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, to be married to Huangfu Jingbian, a major general of the Dingbei Army. There must be no mistake in leaving the palace immediately to pass the decree.
The eunuch in charge beside Liu Guifei hurriedly responded, wrote the decree in a similar manner, used Liu Guifei's seal, and hurried out of the palace to pass the decree.
In the Gongsun Mansion, Huangfu Jingde got up early in the morning to clean up, waiting for Emperor Zhaoming to see him. I didn't want him to wait left and right, what he was waiting for was not the will of Emperor Zhaoming's edict, but a marriage edict that shocked him extremely much.
The eunuch who came to issue the decree was Gonggong Cao, who went back to the Wuguo Mansion to issue the decree. When he saw Huangfu Jingde, he didn't dare to put on a show, and his smiling face was stacked with layers of folds, looking disgusting and flattering.
The incense case was set, Huangfu Jingde knelt down with his daughter to receive the order, and listened to Gonggong Cao's will, Huangfu Yongning was stunned, and Huangfu Jingde was furious, stood up and glared at Gonggong Cao, and shouted: Huangfu Jingde does not accept the order.
Gonggong Cao was shocked, and was forced by the momentum of Huangfu Jingde, and hurriedly took a few steps back and stammered: You, you, you...... Don't come here, if you dare to resist and disobey the order, this can be a big ......
Before Gonggong Cao's words were finished, Huangfu Jingde snatched the holy decree and looked at the place where the seal was used. The eunuch who wrote the holy decree also had enough eyes, and he did not deliberately write down who gave the decree, so it is easy for people to misunderstand that this is the will of Emperor Zhaoming. However, the seal on the holy decree is not the imperial seal, but the seal of Liu Guifei of Guan Ju Palace.
Huangfu Jingde snorted angrily, tugged the holy decree into his sleeve, and before Gonggong Cao could react, he strode out of the main hall. By the time Gonggong Cao reacted, Huangfu Jingde had already jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace. Marriage edicts are usually issued in triplicate, one of which is kept in the palace and the other two are given to the homes of both men and women. That is to say, when Gonggong Cao issued an edict to Huangfu Jingde's father and daughter, the other eunuchs had already gone to Zhou Shilang's mansion to issue an edict. This matter, but the more troublesome it became, the more it got bigger.
Huangfu Jingde really didn't guess wrong, in Zhou Shilang's mansion, after the fourth lady Zhou Mengyao received the marriage edict, she swept away the appearance of dying or alive last night, and hurriedly dressed up and went to the palace to thank her. Huangfu Jingde and Zhou Mengyao entered the palace gate with their front and back feet.
Emperor Zhaoming did not know that Liu Guifei issued an edict for marriage, and he was invited to Cining Palace after he dispersed the dynasty, and the Queen Mother was discussing with him about the affairs of Huangfu Yongning, so he heard the eunuch's report, saying that the marshal of Huangfu asked to see him.
The Queen Mother didn't expect Liu Guifei to be so bold, and said with a smile: He came just in time, Your Majesty, just to discuss a way to make Ning Yatou correct her name, you can't keep pretending to be a kid like this. Emperor Zhaoming also had this intention, so he ordered someone to immediately declare Emperor Fu Jingde to Cining Palace to see him.
Huangfu Jingde entered the main hall of Cining Palace, knelt down with a plop, he didn't speak, but except for the official hat on his head, he put it on the ground together with the red gold lion button handsome seal, and said loudly: The queen mother, the emperor, the guilty minister Huangfu Jingde came to ask for sin.
The Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoming were stunned by Huangfu Jingde's move, and Emperor Zhaoming frowned and said: Why did Huangfu Aiqing say this, you have made great contributions to the country, what are the crimes? Huangfu Jingde pulled out the holy decree from his sleeve and said angrily: The criminal minister and the dog dare not follow the order, and the dog cannot marry Miss Thursday as his wife, please allow the criminal minister and the dog to cut their jobs and return to the field for the people.
Emperor Zhaoming's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: What nonsense are you talking about in the Huangfu Qing family, how can I ever have a will for you? The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, and her face instantly became gloomy.
Huangfu Jingde raised the holy decree in his hand and said loudly: The decree received by the criminal minister is here, please take a look at it. Gao Sanbao hurriedly ran down to take the holy decree and sent it to Emperor Zhaoming.
Emperor Zhaoming looked down and was also angry. He sat next to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother glanced at it, and also saw the content of the will, and also saw the seal of Liu Guifei of Guan Ju Palace quite clearly.
Before Emperor Zhaoming could speak, the Queen Mother was already furious and shouted: Come on, quickly pass on Concubine Liu of Guan Ju Palace.
Emperor Zhaoming instinctively wanted to protect Liu Guifei, but he was blocked by the Queen Mother as soon as he wanted to speak, Your Majesty, since when did the concubine also have the right to issue decrees? Emperor Zhaoming was immediately speechless and couldn't say anything.
In the harem, only the queen mother and the queen have the right to issue a decree, even if it is the same imperial concubine, she has no right to issue an edict, and Liu Guifei is not an imperial concubine, she is just a concubine, to put it bluntly, she is only one of the several concubines of Emperor Zhaoming.
Concubine Liu had just sent the Zheng family out of the palace, and was admiring the pair of pearls the size of a dragon's eye that the Zheng family had just sent, when she received a decree from the Queen Mother and sent her to Cining Palace to see her. Concubine Liu Guifei didn't know that it was her will that caused a lot of trouble, and she thought that Emperor Zhaoming was in Cining Palace anyway, and she would be protected by someone when she went, so she was not afraid that the Queen Mother would be embarrassed. Concubine Liu put away the pair of pearls and went to Cining Palace happily.
When the Queen Mother sent someone to Guan Ju Palace to pass on Concubine Liu, a little eunuch reported that it was the wife of the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Zheng, who brought her daughter into the palace to thank her. The Queen Mother was almost mad, and shouted angrily: Let them go......
Emperor Zhaoming's face was also dark and scary, the little eunuch was about to go out to pass the message of the Queen Mother, but he didn't want the Emperor Fu Jingde to kneel down and speak: The Queen Mother was angry, and today's marriage was all caused by yesterday's events, and the ministers asked the Queen Mother to allow the three brothers and sisters of the Gongsun family, together with the courtier Huangfu Jingbian, to enter the palace and make it clear to Miss Thursday face to face, so as not to spread any rumors in the future and ruin the reputation of the dog. How could Huangfu Jingde, who was furious in his heart, be willing to let go of Miss Thursday, who was calculating his daughter.
The queen was even more gloomy, but it was not good to refuse Huangfu Jingde's reasonable request, so she had to say in a deep voice: That's it, pass that pair of foolish things to Jin.
Among the three people present, the one who didn't know what was going on was Emperor Zhaoming, and he immediately said: According to what Huangfu Qing's family said, quickly spread the edict to Huangfu Jingbian, and the three brothers and sisters of the Gongsun family entered the palace to see him. Gao Sanbao hurriedly went down to deliver the decree and sent someone to ride a fast horse to Gongsun's mansion.
About two quarters of an hour later, Huangfu Yongning and the three brothers and sisters of Gongsun came, along with Prince Le Qi Jinghuan and Huangfu Yongan. It turned out that as soon as Huangfu Jingde left, Gongsun Yuanqing hurriedly sent a letter to Huangfu Yongan. When Huangfu Yongan received the letter, he happened to be diagnosing Qi Jinghuan's pulse. Qi Jinghuan frowned tightly when he saw that Doctor Jiang Xiao had read the letter, and naturally wanted to ask.
Huangfu Yongan gave the concubine to marry, Marshal Huangfu broke into the palace in anger, and Gongsun Yuanqing asked him to quickly write a testimony for backup.
As soon as Qi Jinghuan heard that Concubine Liu Guifei had given the marriage to Huangfu Jingbian, his brain exploded all of a sudden, and he stood up and shouted angrily: What qualifications does she have to ask about Jingbian's marriage, Ah Ren, go, you immediately enter the palace with this king, and this king wants to see who dares to embarrass Marshal Huangfu and Jingbian. Qi Jinghuan was too excited, his face turned red, and he coughed violently before he finished speaking. Huangfu Yongan hurriedly massaged his hands and Taiyin Lung Meridian for him, so that Qi Jinghuan gradually calmed down.
This led to the fact that Qi Jinghuan appeared in Cining Palace with Huangfu Yong'an, the three brothers and sisters of the Gongsun family, and Huangfu Yongning.
