Chapter 122
Mu Qing didn't know that his words made Li Qianyu make up his mind, in his concept, the man in front of him had already realized from the beginning, but he didn't know that no matter how mature Li Qianyu was, he would not rebel lightly. Even if he can poison Li Muyan's body, it doesn't mean that he has the courage to rebel.
But Mu Qing's words became the final catalyst, Li Qianyu wanted to fight, and his previous hesitation was also thrown behind him.
If there is an obstacle, it will be leveled.
This causal cycle is mysterious, in the end, whether Mu Qing let Li Qianyu get back on track, or Li Qianyu brought Mu Qing closer to this game, it is unclear.
After cleaning up his mood, Li Qianyu looked down at Mu Qing's hand still stubbornly holding the tips of his fingers, and looked up at Mu Qing standing in front of him. This person didn't seem to notice Li Qianyu's dissatisfaction, and stood with a smile, but the strength in his hand was getting tighter and tighter.
Just as Li Qianyu was about to slap him away, Mu Qing let go of his hand and returned to the chair and sat down as if nothing had happened.
Li Qianyu glanced at him, covered his hand tightly with his wide sleeves, and said lightly: "Why did you come to me today?" ”
Mu Qing smiled and took out a notebook from his arms and put it on the table, and said, "Brother Li, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about what's going on in the imperial court recently?" ”
Li Qianyu couldn't guess what he wanted to do, since he was asking about the affairs of the imperial court, he naturally wanted to listen to what Li Muyan had been thinking recently and prepare for the future palace exam. You must know that the decision of the palace examination is all in the hands of the emperor, and it is always beneficial to prepare early.
However, Li Qianyu was not ready to sue him so simply, he curled the corners of his lips slightly, raised an unpredictable arc, and said, "Speaking of which, there is really one thing." ”
Mu Qing's face showed a look of interest.
Li Qianyu said unhurriedly: "The queen passed Song Qionglan into the palace, it is estimated that it is a matter of the past few days, and she will be waiting for the election." ”
Mu Qing was stunned, he really didn't expect Li Qianyu to sue him about this. Speaking of which, this is also a secret harem, and it sounds like a relatable thing, after all, Song Qionglan's reputation has long been praised in the capital, and she is known as the first talented woman, and now the queen specially summons her to enter the palace to value her very much, increase her bargaining chips, and will have more capital in the general election in the future.
But Mu Qing didn't want to hear this, what he wanted was related to the questions of the palace exam. Moreover, after knowing that Song Qionglan might be pointed to Li Qianyu, he was very uncomfortable with this name.
So Mu Qing just nodded perfunctorily: "That's very good." ”
Li Qianyu picked up the tea cup from the side, and the tea in the cup was already cold, so he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand and shook it slowly, looked at the ripples in the tea, and said, "Naturally, it's good, she made this king have to give in." ”
"Concessions?" Mu Qing frowned slightly.
Li Qianyu's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was much colder: "Recently, not only the palace examination election, but also the official assessment and promotion, all of which must be completed during this time." ”
Mu Qing understood as soon as he heard it.
The evaluation and promotion of officials are uniformly reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, and good officials go up and bad officials go down, and this qiē is based on his political performance and the feelings of the officials about him.
You can't fake your political achievements, but you feel that you can fake them, which is also the reason why people who become big officials continue to pay tribute to ice and ice every year.
Everyone wants to move up, everyone seems to go up, and the silver is spent like flowing water.
However, this also involves a lot of power distribution, such as now, the queen faction, the Zhuang Wang faction, and the neutral faction. Maybe in the emperor's heart, King Zhuang Li Qianyu is desireless, but this can't be hidden from the queen, or rather, if Li Qianyu has no intention of taking the throne, the queen will also try to suppress him.
And those officials who belong to the descendants of King Zhuang will inevitably be affected.
"The queen mother put forward conditions?" Mu Qing frowned slightly.
Li Qianyu put down the teacup: "No, but he gave me a threat." Li Qianyu's eyes were frighteningly cold, "My marriage with Song Qionglan is destined to end in nothing, and she is threatening me with Song Qionglan and making me make concessions." ”
The sentence "end without a problem" made Mu Qing very comfortable to hear, but he didn't put the joy on his face, but said with a stern face: "Does the prince want to back down?" ”
"Nope." Li Qianyu made a decision without thinking about it.
Mu Qing blinked, and then smiled: "Then don't retreat." ”
Li Qianyu raised his eyebrows.
I listened to Mu Qing and said: "The matter of the general election is in the hands of the saint after all. If he wants to give the daughter of the Song family to the prince, it is just a way to neutralize and balance, although it means that he has no intention of letting the prince touch the throne, but why is it not a kind of protection? ”
It's just that Li Qianyu is not rare. Mu Qing didn't say this, but they all knew it.
Mu Qing's fingers tapped on the table: "Since the Holy Lord wants to protect the prince, then it is easy to do." The prince only needs to make a low-key deal with the emperor's unintentionality, treat the provocations of the queen and the party coldly, concentrate on filial piety to the emperor, don't take care of those miscellaneous things, I think the emperor will definitely see the good of the prince, and when the time comes, with the maintenance of the saint, what are you afraid of the queen? ”
This method was not thought up by Mu Qing, but by the fourth prince who staged the "Nine Sons to Seize the Inheritance" in his previous life, and that person must have his reason in the end.
Li Qianyu did a good job in the past, but the scenery has been too revealing recently, and the traces of befriending officials are too obvious, so Li Muyan must have beaten him. But Mu Qing could see that Li Muyan doted on Yuan Guifei, and naturally he would also have the intention of pampering Li Qianyu, and he had seen Li Muyan, this emperor did not seem to be a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person, but he was very emotional, which could be seen from his imitation of his thin gold body.
His font has become a type, and now he forcibly converts the font, just like Mu Qing said, just having a skeleton, and the type is not expected, it is not good after all. But he still wrote it, and what is the meaning of this is really worth pondering.
But there is one thing Mu Qing understands, that man is nostalgic, maybe he misses his late mother, maybe he misses the past, none of this is important.
The important thing is that he is an emperor, and this emperor knows guilt.
It's a rare thing.
Mu Qing looked at Li Qianyu and said, "I'm afraid that the saint also has a sense of regret for treating the prince, although the lord has never said it, but the prince knows it." The tone made the emperor's intention wear out in the partisan dispute, it is better to make good use of it, and it will be beneficial and harmless. ”
Exploit.
Li Qianyu's deep eyes stared at Mu Qing and said, "Do you know what you just said?" ”
"Yes." Mu Qing smiled lightly, speculating on the holy will, talking about the monarch, and the sin of losing his head, "But I don't think Brother Li will denounce me." ”
These words were ambiguous, but Mu Qing's expression was frank, and Li Qianyu couldn't think of anything to reprimand him for a while.
Call him arrogant? Say he's bold?
But every word that this person said, even every word, was so smooth in Li Qianyu's ears, it was like scratching an itch, and it was very comfortable.
Li Qianyu closed his eyes slightly, but the hand hidden in his bare sleeve held the armrest of the mahogany chair stiffly: "This king doesn't like to hibernate. ”
Mu Qing was indifferent: "The prince has been dormant for many years, and it will not be a moment and a half." Besides......" Mu Qing's voice paused, "The prince just needs to remember that the emperor is the lord of the world, and the people next to him are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they are not worth mentioning." ”
Jumping beam clown, is he talking about the queen?
Li Qianyu smiled unconsciously, but immediately retracted, looking at Mu Qing and smiling: "Your courage is indeed not small." ”
Mu Qing replied with a smile: "It all depends on the trust of the prince." ”
Li Qianyu nodded, didn't say much, but changed the topic: "Recently, there has been a shortage of grain storage in the west, and the weather is cold, there are already many homeless people, and there are also those who have fallen into the grass, and my father is very worried about this. ”
These words, every word, Li Qianyu did not miss the topic.
Mu Qing took it with a smile, but he was not surprised. I have already pretended to have the courage to say so many things that are enough to lose my head, in exchange for such a sentence, in fact, I have lost it.
But I just shook my hand...... It's still a good deal.
===========================================================================
Song Qionglan has been having a hard time lately.
She is the eldest lady of the Song family, her aunt is the queen, and her father is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so her identity is naturally noble. Song Qionglan's father Song Boda dotes on her very much, although Song Qionglan has other sisters, but among them she is always the most favored.
And Song Qionglan is also very studious and intelligent, and she is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, which has helped the Song family earn enough face.
I thought that I was going to follow the trajectory set for him by the family, marry Li Chengming and his cousin, and then wait for my cousin to ascend to the throne and enjoy the queen's position and mother in the world, but something went wrong.
Li Chengming was bent on marrying a people's daughter, and that woman had no official in her family, nor was she a wealthy merchant, but she was just an ordinary woman, but Li Chengming tried his best to resist the decree and marry her.
Even though Song Qionglan was not angry in her heart, she didn't dare to say much, even if they were relatives and cousins who grew up together, but after all, Li Chengming was the prince, and no one could complain about him except the emperor.
But there is still loneliness, and there is confusion about the future. The dream she has had since she was a child is to be a princess and a queen, but now that this hope is gone, Song Qionglan feels empty. Even if the person who came to ask to marry her was about to break through the threshold, Song Qionglan still felt that she had lost.
Lost to a woman I didn't know, and that feeling was indescribably depressing.
But fortunately, Song Qionglan met Du Luo, the man who was destined not to be a white-clothed minister but still liked to wear white, in the forest outside the temple, he just glanced at each other, and Song Qionglan's heart seemed to be hollowed out, and there was a place to go.
It's just that the place is not with me, but with Douro.
She stuffed a purse into him, thinking that her status was noble, and even if it was for the future, Duro would come to ask for marriage. At that time, her father may not be rejected, but Song Qionglan made up her mind, this time she wants to fight for herself, and if she gambles once, maybe her son will be happy.
But she waited and looked forward to it, but after all, she didn't wait for the person to propose, but waited for the news that she was going to enter the palace election.
Song Qionglan is not a stupid person, on the contrary, she is very smart, otherwise she would not have firmly occupied a unique position in the Song Mansion after the birth of her younger brothers and sisters, and she is quite famous for her long-sleeved dancing among the daughters of various families. Although Song Boda didn't say it explicitly, Song Qionglan knew that she was really going to marry this time.
is married, I'm afraid it's still the Zhuang Wang Ye I have never seen.
Song Qionglan panicked, she began to be afraid, so she chose to run away, but apparently she didn't run far before she was arrested.
And she can use tears to make her father and mother not punish her, but she can't change the fate of entering the palace.
"Lan'er, you are a smart girl, you have to be careful after entering the palace." On the day when the queen sent her into the palace, Song Boda gave her such instructions when she sent her into the carriage.
Song Qionglan nodded in response, but pinched a red hairpin in her sleeve. The hairpin was smeared with poison, not a special poison, but a medicine she had stolen from the kitchen to poison rats. She ground the medicine into powder and smeared it on Zhu Hai, so that if there was really a mistake on the day, she could have a way to make herself cut off.
The so-called errand cuò step, one is to be filled into the harem, and the other is to be married to King Zhuang.
After getting into the carriage, Song Qionglan put Zhu Hai in her hair, and there was a bunch of tassels under Zhu Hai, which was very cute with the swaying of the carriage.
It's just that Song Qionglan's face is quiet and indifferent, and she can't see any joy.
Thoughts seemed to fly out, and she remembered the first and only time she saw Douro.
The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the red sun is like fire.
Song Qionglan smiled bitterly, but she still didn't know if her lovesickness was wrong. That person, did he remember her, did he think about marrying her?
The woman of the Great Zhou only wants to be separated from each other. What they wanted was always simple.
A poem made by Mu Qing, who was in Huiyuan a while ago, has spread all over the capital, Song Qionglan leaned on the carriage with her eyes closed, and whispered softly:
"Sauvignon Blanc is long-lasting, Sauvignon Blanc is endless."
Good words, good sentences, exhaust the sourness in my heart.
================================================================================
Not all show girls are qualified to enter the palace, even if they have passed the primary election, they must be selected in a side hall. There was a woman who was glorified and favored in just one night, and there were women who could not walk out of the palace gate for the rest of their lives.
Song Qionglan is much luckier than them, she has a queen aunt, so she can enter the palace first, or she doesn't have to go to the side hall where all the grievances are in one.
helped the palace man's men get out of the carriage, and saw that Yuelian was already waiting at the palace gate. Yuelian is a first-class palace maid who is favored by the queen in front of her, even if the harem concubines have to give a little thin face when they see her again, but Yuelian didn't dare to take Qiao in front of Song Qionglan, walked over with a smile, and saluted: "I've seen Miss Song, the girl is auspicious." ”
Song Qionglan glanced at Yuelian, in the past, when she saw herself, she just called her "girl", where is the enthusiasm she is now. However, Song Qionglan didn't save her face, and said with a smile: "Let's get up, aunt can you get up?" ”
Yuelian walked inside because of Song Qionglan, and said with a smile as she walked: "Today, the lady got up early, waiting to see the big girl." You go this way. Saying that, because Song Qionglan walked through a small stone road, the flowers on both sides were beautiful.
Song Qionglan didn't squint, and her expression was faint: "I came to disturb my aunt's rest, but it's not mine." ”
Yuelian hurriedly said: "Don't say that, big girl, I'm happy that you can come to my mother." It's just that the mother has not been in a good mood recently, and the big girl will accompany the mother to tell jokes later, so don't mention those troubles. ”
Song Qionglan knew what Yuelian was talking about, and she thought it was about her "elopement".
Counting it, it wasn't an elopement, because Du Luo didn't know where it was at all, and Song Qionglan just wanted to escape from the marriage, but no one listened to her own explanation, so she nodded. It's just that I don't know if these words are what Yuelian wants to tell her or the queen's instructions, which is worth considering.
At this time, I saw a little eunuch running in a hurry, Song Qionglan took a look and asked, "Who is that?" ”
Yuelian raised her head and said with a smile: "That's Xiao Lingzi, a newly favored eunuch from the official family." Didn't the official family hold a palace test today, I think he was sent by the official family. ”
During the palace test, everyone in the harem must be quiet and not make trouble, otherwise it will be a loss of face. And the affairs of this harem are naturally to be discussed with the queen.
This Song Qionglan also knew, so she asked more: "It seems that the emperor still values his aunt very much." ”
But this time, she didn't wait for Yuelian's reply.
At this time, silence is better than sound, and Song Qionglan pondered a lot of meanings.
It seems that the queen's position is not stable, and his cousin's position is not stable when he thinks about it.
Lowering her head and no longer talking, Song Qionglan followed Yuelian slowly and leisurely, and when Yuelian reintroduced various flowers to her, Song Qionglan listened with a smile, but her mind had already flown out.
If Du Luo can participate in the imperial examination, I am afraid that he will stand in front of the emperor and talk about it now, with white clothes like snow and a crown like jade, and it makes people happy to think about that scene.
However, Douro is destined to have no official status, just think about it.
Thinking of this, Song Qionglan sounded another person. The Mu Huiyuan who wrote "Sauvignon Blanc and long memories, and Sauvignon Blanc is infinite".
But I don't know how he is.
The author has something to say: unlike Yuan Guifei's external softness and internal rigidity, and also different from Min Guifei's black belly, Song Qionglan is a real woman cultivated according to ancient standards
Knowing poetry and books, Ming is generally speaking, and is definitely a model of the mother in the world
But because of the author's careful thinking, although Miss Song is a good girl, but I still feel more sorry for Mu Xiaoqing, this article is absolutely 1v1, all kinds of aspects, ask my relatives to rest assured ha3l4
