Chapter 134: Rich and Rival Country
"Queen Mother!"
Seeing that Empress Dowager Mo was stunned, Nangong Yi reminded her loudly, "The queen is asking you!" ā
Empress Dowager Mo came back to her senses, smiled at Princess Tuotuo, and said reluctantly: "The thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare treasure, and it is indeed fair for four old ginseng to sell for 100,000 taels of silver..." 'Le' Wen ''Novel''lwxs520'
Princess Tuotuo's face was red to the root of her ears.
Cai Wei smiled and looked at Princess Tuotuo, who was entangled, and said with a smile: "The princess can hear it, if the queen mother's words still can't convince you, why don't you go to the palace to inquire about it?" ā
At this time, Princess Tuotuo was already embarrassed, she bit her lip and lowered her head, but she couldn't say anything, she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and she lost her ugliness in front of Nangong Yi, which really annoyed her.
Cai Wei was not interested in arguing with her, so she ordered someone to bring out the second dowry.
The second dowry is all head jewelry.
Full of four-box jewelry, regardless of style, workmanship or materials, are the top of the best, hairpins, rings, pendants, beads, bracelets, necklaces......
gold, silver, jade, agate, diamond, tortoiseshell......
Everything should be, there is everything, and one of the orange Merlot beads has attracted everyone's attention.
Merlot beads are an extremely rare bead, also known as "dragon balls" or "flame beads", the body is rounder, from the body of the conch, the color is orange-red, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-brown to nearly white, of which the orange hue similar to the ripe papaya is the most precious, with the crystalline appearance of ceramics, flame pattern structure, the shape from irregular shape, oval to egg-shaped, round value is usually higher.
As a rare royal jewel, there is only one noble person like Empress Dowager.
And Cai Wei, there are hundreds of them, and they are full, round, and colorful, each of which is bigger and round than the one of the Empress Dowager Mo!
This string of beads alone is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
The several concubines, the eldest princess and the princesses present were all dumbfounded, completely shocked by Cai Wei's rich dowry.
Especially the Empress Dowager Mo and Princess Chaoyue, their expressions were so rich that they could hardly be described in words, their complicated eyes shifted from the human-shaped old ginseng to the string of radiant beads, and then fell silent...
At this moment, no one dares to laugh at Cai Wei's background, compared with her, the so-called nobility of those princesses and nobles has become a joke, compared to Cai Wei, they are all completely poor!
At this moment, there is no need for Cai Wei to show anything, just these two dowries are enough to kill the dowries of all the nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom in seconds!
However, Cai Wei did not stop, she raised her hand again, and motioned for Zhao Qiu to continue.
Soon, two more little eunuchs stepped forward with a dowry, which was covered by red gauze and silk, and when it was opened, it turned out to be a pot of flowers!
Princess Tuotuo, who was hit and had no skin, saw that it was a pot of flowers that was brought up, and she was suddenly resurrected with full blood.
She sneered and said, "A pot of flowers can also be regarded as a dowry? The queen's dowry is too sloppy, isn't it? ā
However, the others present don't think so, and when everyone sees the queen's third dowry, there are no other words to describe it except shock!
Bead grass!
Everyone has seen it in the Yukun Palace of the Empress Dowager Mo, it is a kind of fairy grass that grows on the bank of the Quluo Guoling River, it is shaped like a narcissus, the growth rate is extremely slow, and it can only grow an inch in twenty or thirty years, and it takes one or two hundred years to grow into a Zhuzhu grass.
Because of this, the pearl grass is regarded as a treasure by the Quluo country, never lightly show people, because the king of the Quluo country heard that the queen of the Great Jin Dynasty loves flowers and plants, so he generously gave a plant to her, has been raised by the Empress Dowager Mo as a treasure in the Yukun Palace, only in her birthday every year to take out for everyone to watch, on weekdays light yƬ refused to show people.
The shape of the Zhuzhu grass is extremely beautiful, just one look at it every year, it is enough to make the princess and the princess remember, the leaves of the Zhuzhu grass are smooth and green, the leaf veins are clear, such as jadeite carving, the root is white like white jade, taking advantage of the eye-catching tender green, it is really beautiful.
It's a pity that Empress Dowager Mo's Zhuzhu grass was destroyed by the order of Concubine Jin before it had time to grow and bloom.
Therefore, when everyone saw this Zhuzhu grass and saw the dotted buds on it, they couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, this Zhuzhu grass was much better than the one of the Empress Dowager Mo!
When Empress Dowager Mo saw it, she stood up excitedly.
When she was grounded, her bead grass was destroyed by Concubine Jin in front of her, and although she didn't make any waves on the surface at that time, her heart was already bleeding with pain.
It was her favorite grass, she had always taken care of it herself, and she never pretended to be in front of others, but it was destroyed in front of him, and the pain was like a mother who killed her child in front of her, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life....
And in front of her, there is a pot of Zhuzhu grass that she thinks about day and night, not only is it bigger than hers, but it also has buds, she has never seen the flowers of Zhuzhu grass, what will it be like? She stared closely at the verdant pot of fairy grass, and her eyes were full of expectation......
Cai Wei glanced at Princess Tuotuo who was speaking, and said with a smile: "If this dowry in this palace is sloppy, please also ask Princess Tuotuo to find such a big pot of pearl grass, and when the time comes, this palace is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy it." ā
100,000 taels, a pot of broken grass is worth 100,000 taels?
Tuotuo didn't believe it, she snorted and said, "It's just a grass, what's the big deal, we'll see, this princess will find it sooner or later!" ā
Cai Wei chuckled lightly, turned her face, and disdained to argue with her again, she waved her hand and asked the fourth dowry to be raised......
Cai Wei's unboxing ceremony opened the eyes of all the concubines, princesses and princesses in the palace, from the priceless human-shaped old ginseng, the hard-to-find Merle Beads, to the priceless Zhuzhu grass, and the rare and exotic fruits that have never been seen again, they were stunned for a while, it was like a dream, and it was hard to believe their eyes.
Born in the royal family, they have always thought they are well-informed, what good things in the world have they not seen? At this time, they realized that they were like frogs at the bottom of the well, how shallow what they had seen and known before, before they secretly laughed at the queen's origin, and at this time, they finally felt that in front of the queen, who is the real nobleman!
After inspecting Cai Wei's dowry, Empress Dowager Mo, who had a complicated complexion, left surrounded by all the concubines and princesses......
Cai Wei asked someone to put everything away and lock it up, left a box of fresh fruits and two colored satins, ordered a few palace maids to take it, sat on their shoulders, and went straight to Qingfangyuan.
In the past, when she lived in the palace, Du Meiren had always taken care of her sincerely, and really regarded her as her own daughter, so this friendship Caiwei has always remembered, and when she was free, she went to Qingfangyuan to visit.
Today's Caiwei is no longer the princess Anle who was waiting to be sent to kiss in the past, but the queen mother of the Great Jin Kingdom, gold and jade, under one person, above ten thousand people!
Therefore, before waiting for Qingfangyuan, there were already eunuchs to pass the word, and when Cai Wei arrived, Du Meiren of Qing Fang Yuan had already taken several eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to guard the door of Qing Fang Yuan, and when Cai Wei's chariot arrived, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"The concubine body sees the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!"
"Auntie, get up!"
Without waiting for the chariot, Cai Wei stretched out her hand, eager to help Du Meiren up.
Du Meiren said humbly: "Thank you, Queen Mother! With that, he got up with the help of Ink.
Cai Wei lowered her shoulders, took Du Meiren's hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, is my aunt's body still okay?" ā
Du Meiren said with a smile: "Thanks to the queen's memory, the concubine is fine." ā
Cai Wei said: "Auntie, since Wei'er calls you aunt, I hope that we can only talk about family affection as before, regardless of identity, if my aunt is only a queen mother, I am afraid that the love between our mothers and children will be called a separate birth......"
Du Meiren's eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her head with gratitude and excitement, and whispered: "Okay! The two joined hands and entered Qingfangyuan.
The scenery of Qingfang Garden is still the same, with the mottled gate, the chaotic flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the palace garden that has not been repaired for a long time, it looks cold and depressed.
Enter the main hall inside, sit down with the guest of honor, and offer tea.
Cai Wei took the tea, while drinking tea while looking at Du Meiren, I haven't seen her for a few months, Du Meiren has lost a lot of weight than before, not only is she pitifully thin, but her face is also surprisingly tea, and the whole person is haggard, as if she has aged ten years all of a sudden.
Cai Wei said: "Auntie, what's wrong?" Why haven't I seen him for months, and people have lost weight like this, but are they not happy these days? ā
When Du Meiren heard this, her eyes turned red, and she choked up: "It's not a family affair!" ā
As he spoke, he got up and knelt at Cai Wei's feet with his skirt, and cried: "Wei'er, Aunt Lili shouldn't have opened this mouth with you, but your grandfather is really old, and it was my mother's idea to abuse Aunt Mei before and advocate that your mother marry King Guangling as a concubine, and now that she is dead, you should be merciful and let your grandfather go, after all, you also have his blood in your body......"
After saying that, he fell to the ground and whimpered.
Cai Wei looked at Du Meiren who was kneeling on the ground, slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, and said, "Du Ruhai once sold your goods to the emperor's house for his glory and wealth, ruining your life, don't you hate him?" ā
Du Meiren raised his head, nodded slightly, and choked: "Hate, of course hate, hate him for being ruthless and unrighteous, only caring about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, without the love of father and daughter, and also hate him for being too ambitious, and he has to go to seize the prince, do you know, when I know that he was stripped of his title, my heart is really comfortable and relieved, but even if it is hate, I can't bear to let him die, when I think of his gray-haired age but going to the guillotine, my heart is like ...... It's like I've been stabbed with a knife... ā
As she spoke, she couldn't stop crying.
Cai Wei said: "Aunt should also know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but since my aunt has spoken to me about this matter, I will mention it to the emperor, as for whether he agrees, I can't interfere!" ā
When Du Meiren heard this, her heart suddenly burst into joy, as if she heard the sound of the Buddha's language, she wiped the tears on her cheeks, and said with certainty: "It will definitely work, the emperor is so good to you, he will definitely agree, Wei'er, you are really a noble person in our family, thank you so much this time......"
In the evening, when Nangong Yi came back, Cai Wei mentioned the matter to him.
Although the relationship between the two is intimate, in some aspects, Cai Wei is still very measured, after all, Nangong Yi is an ancient, and the feudal ideas in her mind have long been ingrained and deeply rooted in the bone marrow, he can do so many things for her that are contrary to feudal ethics, she is already very content, so she doesn't expect him to obey him in everything, just like pardoning Du Ruhai, she will mention it to Nangong Yi, but whether Nangong Yi agrees or not, she will never interfere.
After Nangong Yi heard Cai Wei's words, he agreed without hesitation: "This is nothing, I will issue an order tomorrow to depose these rebellious ministers and thieves who committed rebellion into slavery and send them to Lingbei, and they will never leave Lingbei!" ā
Cai Wei said gratefully: "Nangong Yi, it's good that you do this matter exactly according to your own ideas, I'm just mentioning it, if you don't want to pardon them, I won't be unhappy." ā
Nangong Yi rubbed her face and said dotingly: "Pardoning them is my idea, the killing is too heavy, it is against the peace of heaven, they are just on the wrong team, and they have not done anything to hurt the heavens and reason, they are really killed, I can't bear it, it is better to let them go to Lingbei and create a wealth for you!" ā
Early the next morning, Nangong Yi really issued an edict of pardon, and several important ministers led by Jin Dapeng were exempted from the death penalty of the Jiu clan, and ordered them to be demoted to official slaves, and sent to Lingbei, and they were never allowed to leave Lingbei.
This edict immediately caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.
In all dynasties, all the courtiers who stood on the wrong side were regarded as chaotic ministers and thieves, and their crimes were unforgivable. And the emperor easily let go of these chaotic ministers and thieves, which is too much to say!
At that moment, the ministers were impassioned and admonished, wanting to prevent Nangong Yi from pardoning those rebellious ministers and thieves.
However, the emperor had already made up his mind, and because the ministers knelt, kowtowed, and made statements, they refused to retract their will, and ordered those guilty ministers to leave Beijing on the same day and go to Lingbei......
The movement of the previous dynasty was so big, and the harem naturally heard about it.
When Empress Dowager Mo heard that her son had provoked the dissatisfaction of the ministers, she was very worried, and immediately ordered someone to call Yang Yong and ask him in detail about the whole story.
Yang Yong didn't dare to hide it, so he reported what Cai Wei said to Nangong Yi last night to Empress Dowager Mo.
When Empress Dowager Mo heard that Cai Wei had interfered in the government, Nangong Yi was dissatisfied, and she was shocked.
She has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and no matter when, she never dared to say anything about the affairs of the court, but this Mu Caiwei, who had only been the queen for three days, began to interfere in the government affairs, instigating her son to pardon those rebellious ministers and thieves, causing him to cause public anger and provoke public anger.
Empress Dowager Mo was furious!
This demon girl who confuses the king and troubles the dynasty, she can't tolerate it anymore......
ā¦ā¦
That night, Nangong Yi returned to Chengqian Palace, and Cai Wei took it out, with a guilty face.
"I heard that the ministers have embarrassed you today?"
Nangong Yi walked into the dormitory with her hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, a few stupid and stubborn old men, relying on the fact that they are old ministers, they want to point fingers at me and manipulate the government, how can I follow their thoughts?" ā
Cai Wei knew that things were not as simple as he said, but he was afraid that she would feel guilty, so he deliberately said it very easily, and he did this, which made Cai Wei feel guilty.
She lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "Yi, I'm sorry, I'm the one who caused you......"
Nangong Yi looked at the little daughter-in-law who bowed her head and admitted her mistake, stretched out her hand and hugged her, buried her face in her neck socket and rubbed it, and said in a low voice: "Between us, there will never be a burden, I am willing to do it, you don't have to feel guilty about it......"
Cai Wei snorted, still sad in her heart, and her little face was very entangled.
Seeing that she was so depressed, Nangong Yi teased her and said: "Ming'er is the day you go back to the door, the first time you get married, are you ready to return to the door?" ā
Cai Wei said sullenly: "It is a folk custom to marry a daughter, can the queen in the palace also return to the door casually?" ā
Nangong Yi said: "In the world, someone has to start, let's start with the emperor and queen!" ā
Cai Wei knew that Nangong Yi was coaxing her, and her heart was sweet, she punched him, and said coquettishly: "You are crazy, the Queen Mother knows that you are back with me, and you should not be happy and find me trouble." ā
Nangong Yi said with a smile: "The queen mother doesn't dare, if I didn't guess wrong, this time, her old man is calculating how to get her hands on your pot of Zhuzhu grass, and she won't dare to offend you!" ā
Cai Wei sighed: "Hey, if you give her a pot of flowers to make her not target me, I will give her a few more pots, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, this time to pardon the sinner, the Queen Mother will make a note on my head again, Ming'er, you will accompany me back to the door, the Queen Mother may not be able to make a fuss!" ā
Nangong Yi said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, just don't let her know......"
ā¦ā¦*ā¦ā¦*ā¦ā¦
Nangong Yu didn't expect Empress Dowager Mo to figure it out so quickly, and after the queen mother summoned her to discuss the matter of the Gu, she was taken aback, and asked in a daze: "What the queen mother said is true?" Do you really agree to find Tuotuo to play Gu? ā
Empress Dowager Mo shook her fist, and the strong man said as if she had broken her wrist: "It's true, the queen mother can no longer bewitch your brother by that demon girl, and now the demon girl is no longer satisfied with bullying our mother and daughter, but also stretched out her hand to the government, if the queen mother does not move, I am afraid that your brother will be the king of the dead country......
"It's good that the queen mother has figured it out!"
A trace of excitement flashed in Nangong Yu's eyes, she retreated left and right, and whispered: "Queen Mother, it's easy to make Mu Caiwei fall out of favor, just ......"
She leaned into the ear of the Empress Dowager Mo, whispered a few words like this, and then said with burning eyes: "As long as that ** Gu bites my brother and Princess Tuotuo, my brother will only love Princess Tuotuo from now on, and then replenish the stock to take care of Mu Caiwei, Princess Tuotuo's status is noble, and there is Miao Jiang behind her, plus she herself is good at Gu arts, with her help, my brother's country must sit steadily, and besides, she will not be as unreasonable as Mu Caiwei to the queen mother." ā
Although Nangong Yu listed the many benefits of Nangong Yi marrying Princess Tuotuo, Empress Dowager Mo did not agree with her point of view, and asked her son to marry a woman who was good at witchcraft as the queen, and she was an arrogant, stupid, arrogant and arrogant woman, she always felt chirped in her heart, besides, in her mind, there was already a suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law.
A few months ago, the abolished prince Nangong Shijiu killed the emperor in a vain attempt to usurp the throne, and the Empress Dowager Mo secretly sent a blood edict to General Li, promising him that as long as he could help Sheji and set things right, she would allow Ruizhu to be the queen.
After General Li received this edict, he spared no effort to fight against the former prince and supported Nangong Yi to ascend to the throne. It's a pity that Nangong Yi's mind is on Cai Wei's body, and she can't tolerate others at all, plus Empress Dowager Mo saw the turtle with her own eyes and said that she was the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, so she reluctantly agreed to her position as queen.
Losing trust in General Li has always been a heart problem for Empress Dowager Mo, and Ruizhu has always been her favorite choice for daughter-in-law, so this time, Empress Dowager Mo decided to take a risk, and must help Li Ruizhu take the position, firstly, to fulfill his promise to General Li, and secondly, let her son marry a daughter-in-law she likes!
"Yu'er, you go and talk to that Tuotuo, as long as she is willing to provide us with ** Gu, except for letting her be your brother's woman, we will rely on her for the rest."
Nangong Yu said: "Tuotuo is the princess of Miao Jiang, what good things are there?" I'm afraid I can't impress her with things. ā
Luo Xue hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, let's pretend to promise her first, find the daughter-in-law of the mother in secret, and wait until the day when the Gu is shined, the slave and maid will look at the side, and act when the opportunity comes, with the means of the slave and the maid, they will never let the Gu worm bite the princess Tuotuo." ā
This sentence, if it were another person, Empress Dowager Mo might still be suspicious, but because Luoxue was her confidant and helped her protect Nangong Yu, therefore, in her mind, Luoxue is definitely a reliable person.
Empress Dowager Mo said slowly: "This plan is feasible, but you have to be careful and don't make mistakes!" ā
Luoxue lowered her head, hiding the extreme excitement in her eyes, and said: "Although the queen mother can rest assured, the slave and maid will do their best to never let the queen mother and the princess down......"
