Chapter 80: The Empress Duanhe
Early the next morning, Zhaoyun went to Chaoyang Palace to meet the queen, and he was worried. I don't know that last night the queen asked Aunt Mengxiang to come to inform her that she must come to Chaoyang Palace early this morning, and the queen has something to say to herself, what will she say?
When I entered the inner hall, I saw the queen sitting in front of the lacquered red pear wood table, holding a wolf quill pen, writing something at the desk, and the rice paper in the corner of the table was cut neatly in all directions, like a book.
Seeing that the queen stopped her pen and looked at herself, Zhaoyun Yingying bowed and said respectfully: "The concubine sees the queen, and the queen is auspicious." ”
The queen just smiled kindly: "Get up." Zhaoyun stood up and asked softly: "The concubine saw that the queen mother was concentrating on what she was writing, and saw that the rice paper was neat and tidy, and she wondered in her heart, is the queen mother going to write a book?" ”
The queen looked at Zhaoyun, with a smile in her eyes, Ying Ying smiled: "Xia Jieyu is meticulous in observation, yes, the palace is planning to write a "Biography of the Virtuous Martyr", the palace admires the virtue of the eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson queen has personally compiled the "female rules" ten volumes, this book is a collection of ancient women's outstanding deeds are combined, because the eldest grandson queen usually reads to wake up for her own use, and has not been handed down, the palace privately thought, it is better to follow the example of the eldest grandson queen, compile a "virtuous female biography", one is for their daily reading, the other is to ask people to copy this book, spread all over the world, so that women all over the world can admire the virtuous and reverent, and use the ancient virtuous women to flaunt themselves, isn't it a matter of benefiting and accumulating virtue. ”
Zhaoyun smiled gently: "What the queen said is extremely true, and the concubine thinks that the queen's move is very good. ”
When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly, and said: "Xia Jieyu is proficient in poetry and books, and understands history, I don't know how much I know about the eldest grandson queen?" ”
When Zhaoyun heard this, he thought for a moment in his heart, and the queen asked herself to come, first beating herself with "The Legend of the Virtuous Martyr", and then asked about the eldest grandson queen, there must be a deep meaning in this. Thinking of this, he said: "The eldest grandson queen is a generation of virtuous queens, virtuous and virtuous, deeply aware of righteousness, the concubines are very admirable, and the concubines selfishly feel that the mother has the legacy of the eldest grandson queen." ”
The queen smiled faintly and said: "Yes, the eldest grandson queen is indeed a virtuous queen with a virtuous character and a deep understanding of righteousness. Although Empress Changsun was very insightful about political affairs, when Tang Taizong asked, she only said such a sentence: 'Hen Si Chen, after all, is not the right way, and the woman foresees political affairs, it is also ominous', and under Tang Taizong's questioning, she only said eight words, 'Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and let the virtuous advise'. Those who are as virtuous as the eldest grandson queen also know that the harem cannot interfere in politics. The palace feels that the harem concubines should be restrained by the virtue of the eldest grandson queen, and furthermore, the emperor has many capable ministers and advisers, and he will assist the emperor in handling political affairs. If the harem concubines discuss the government in front of the emperor with their own likes and dislikes, those loyal ministers who can be called Bigan are not in danger. Xia Jieyu, what do you think? ”
Although the queen was full of spring breeze when she spoke, and she did not deliberately accuse Zhaoyun, it sounded shocking to Zhaoyun. Cold sweat was already breaking out on Zhaoyun's forehead, but he still replied calmly: "What the queen said is good, it is really not the duty of the concubine to interfere in the politics of the harem and affect the previous dynasty, and the concubine should remember the teachings of the mother." ”
The queen smiled gently: "Xia Jieyu is smart, so she naturally knows what to do in the future." Speaking of this, the queen changed her words and said lightly: "Fang Cai Bengong is writing about Yan Rui, the martyr of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xia Jieyu is not only familiar with poetry and books, but also knows the stories of many virtuous women, why not come over every day in the future and accompany the palace to jointly compile this "Biography of the Virtuous Woman"?" ”
Zhaoyun lowered his head and replied softly: "Meng Niangniang's love, the concubine should do her best to assist Niangniang." ”
"The sixth brother is here." Bing Ning saw the sixth prince Murong Zheyuan coming to his palace, and said with a smile, "Which gust of wind blew the sixth brother into my palace." ”
Murong Zheyuan smiled heartily: "Naturally, I came to ask my sister for someone." ”
Bing Ningqi said: "This is fresh, I am full of stupid girls in this palace, which one does the sixth brother have a crush on and want to beg for it?" ”
Murong Zheyuan smiled: "It's not a girl, it's a handsome and good martial arts guard." Bingning was shocked and hurriedly said, "Who?" Murong Zheyuan smiled heartily: "It's the head of the guards in your palace, Ling Zixuan, the son of Ling Yushi." ”
Bing Ning said in a deep voice: "If it were someone else, you would ask for it, and I wouldn't have a word." Only Zixuan can't, I have worshiped him as a master, let him teach me martial arts, how can there be a reason in the world for apprentices to give up their master to others. ”
Murong Zheyuan continued: "It's just a head of guards, you can just find another one, I can tell my sister that I have taken a fancy to him, and I have to snatch him today." ”
Bing Ning hurriedly said: "I still have a crush on him, I don't allow anyone to rob me, and neither can you." ”
The two were arguing, and suddenly saw Zixuan coming. Zixuan asked the two of them to say goodbye, and Murong Zheyuan hurriedly said: "Manager Ling, I heard that you are outstanding in martial arts, and I also happen to like martial arts, why don't you pack up and follow me, we can also learn from each other." Saying that, he glanced at Bingning again, and said with an evil smile: "Practicing martial arts, it's a man's business, men and men are more enjoyable, women should do more needlework, dance and play swords all day long, there is no woman's style at all, who will dare to ask for it in the future." ”
When Bing Ning heard this, she was very angry and was about to argue, but she heard Zixuan say lightly: "Wechen thank the six princes for their appreciation, but Weichen is already the head of the guards in the princess's palace, if it is not for the princess's permission, Weichen is not allowed to go to other palaces without permission." When Bing Ning heard this, she deliberately said loudly: "Did you hear it, my master won't go with you." ”
Zixuan suddenly thought of something, and said: "When Weichen was a Zhonglang general in the Yulin Army, he had a righteous brother named Guo Yishan, whose appearance and martial arts were on par with Weichen, but he was from a humble background, and Weichen was brave enough to recommend this person to the six princes, if the six princes were interested, they could send an order to let him come over." ”
When Murong Zheyuan heard this, he sighed, his eyes flashed with joy, and he said to Zixuan: "It's nothing from a humble background, it's just that there are people like you in the Yulin Army, I don't know, but you said that your brother-in-law is on par with you, so I want to meet it." ”
Not long after, the captain of the Yulin Army brought Guo Yishan over, and Murong Yuhan saw that Guo Yishan's face was handsome, but it was clearly outlined, and he was already a little happy in his heart. When Guo Yishan saw the six princes, he didn't even salute, and said in a rough voice: "I heard that the six princes are looking for me, what are you looking for me?" ”
The captain of the Yulin Army changed his face in fright, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Bold, if you don't hurry up to salute when you see the six princes, how can you be so presumptuous, is this the tone you should have when talking to the six princes?" On the other hand, he said to Murong Zheyuan with a smile on his face: "Guo Yishan was originally a captain in the Yulin Army, and he has always been straightforward in his speech, because the Yulin Army is full of people who practice martial arts, and there is not much emphasis on etiquette, today he suddenly saw the six princes, maybe he was nervous for a while, and asked the six princes not to blame." ”
Murong Yu smiled heartily: "It's okay, people who practice martial arts, it is inevitable to be debauched and uninhibited, so it is good to be unconstrained by etiquette, those people around me, worship me all day long, sometimes have a few tricks with them, they either shirk or give in, obviously have a lot of skill, they have to hide eight points, deliberately lose, and also say some flattering words with false affection, which makes people upset." Yoshiyama is a man of temperament, yes, I like it. ”
The captain of the Yulin Army pushed Guo Yishan and said in a low voice: "Don't thank you yet, the sixth prince promoted you and let you serve in his palace." ”
When Guo Yishan heard this, he only bowed his hand as a samurai is accustomed to, and said in a rough voice: "In the next rudeness, since the six princes appreciate me, then I will follow the six princes in the future, I don't know what the six princes let me do?" ”
Murong Zheyuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Yishan, how about you and my personal guard?" ”
Guo Yishan bowed his head and said, "Thank you to the six princes." After speaking, the corners of Guo Yishan's mouth were slightly grinning, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, finally waiting for this day, since he entered the palace, it would be more convenient to act, and he could also repay his revenge as soon as possible, and reward his confidant with blood.
Zixuan smiled with relief: "Brother Yi, you should thank me, you said early in the morning that you wanted to enter the palace and let me pay attention to you, now that you have such an opportunity, you can be appreciated by the six princes, and the six princes treat the warriors very well, and you can be regarded as getting what you want." ”
Guo Yishan had a mocking smile on his face, but it was fleeting, and then he said: "Now that I have entered the palace, thanks to the grace of the six princes, I will definitely swear to serve me and protect the six princes with all my might." ”
When Murong Zheyuan heard this, he glanced at Guo Yishan with deep meaning, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
