readx;?“ Sister, your book has been around for more than 100 years, why are the pages still so clean, and there are no traces of insects? The queen sat in the warm pavilion of the main hall of Guhua Palace, picked up a chess book on the table and said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Concubine Rong sat opposite the queen and said with a gentle smile: "Hui Niangniang, these books were brought by my sister from home. Smoked with rue before coming. This rue smell is good and insect resistant. In "Dream Creek Writings", it is said that the ancients used Yun to avoid beetles (the same degree of sound). Rue, vanilla also, today people call it seven miles of incense is also. The southerners can take the seat and get rid of fleas and lice. ”
"I see, the things in Hanyang Palace are generally eaten with swallow grass, but the taste is not as comfortable as rue." Queen's Road.
At this time, Xuezhu brought the fairy cliff stone flower tea with emerald glazed porcelain.
The queen picked up the teacup, took a sip and said with a smile: "In today's Hanyang Palace, you are the only place where you can eat peace of mind." ”
The queen suddenly arrived this morning, and Concubine Rong knew that she would not just be idle and idle, but she couldn't ask openly, so she chatted with her for a while, but the queen never opened her mouth to explain her intentions.
As soon as she heard the queen's tone this time, Concubine Rong knew that she would get to the point next, so she continued to say: "If the queen likes it, my sister welcomes you every day." ”
The emperor glanced at her and said, "You are kind, but this palace does not have this good life!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Rong pretended to be surprised and said.
"Isn't this the eldest princess suddenly stinging (with the same sound)? The emperor was sad all day long, Concubine Min couldn't stand the stimulation and was bedridden, and everything inside and outside here had to be taken care of by the palace. My sister said, how can this palace have the kung fu to taste a safe tea? ”
Concubine Rong listened to it and smiled indifferently: "So that's the case." The queen mother is in charge of the six palaces, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, the harem is harmonious and peaceful, and you can do it so well throughout the ages, I really can't pick out the second one. Therefore, the eldest princess's posthumous affairs, the emperor can only leave it to you to do it, otherwise who can take on this important responsibility? ”
was praised by Concubine Rong so unremarkably, the queen was very useful, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot: "Actually, it is also the responsibility of the palace to host the aftermath for the eldest prince, who made the palace her mother-in-law?" ”
"Besides, the deceased is the greatest, and the eldest princess is gone, and the palace can't be embarrassed by her. What made the palace dissatisfied was actually Concubine Min and the treacherous and cunning attached horse. ”
"Oh?" Concubine Rong's eyes widened in surprise: "These two sisters are not familiar with each other, and I ask the queen mother to make it clear." ”
"This Concubine Min, don't look at the most soft words and coax people, in fact, she is more vicious than anyone else on the inside. In the past, the palace saw that she often tortured the eunuchs and palace maids, and thought that it was only because she didn't care about the life of this slave. ”
"This time her daughter died, and the first thing she asked the emperor to do was to keep the title of attached horse? You can know how cold this person is in his heart. ”
Concubine Rong pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Maybe she was afraid that her son-in-law would be helpless for the rest of her life, so she went to ask the emperor?" ”
The queen sneered: "How could she be so kind? It's just thinking about his own little ninety-nine. Her mother's family has been in decline for a long time, although she is well-behaved and sensible and deeply favored by the emperor and has asked for a lot of rewards for Concubine Min, how can she not support the wall in the mud, and none of her mother's nephews have a finished weapon. ”
"That's why Concubine Min values the attached horse so much, and sees it as the only chance to make her mother's family come back."
Concubine Rong still continued quietly: "If Concubine Min is bent on benefiting her mother's family, it is also human nature, after all, how can Jun En last long in this Hanyang Palace?" Who doesn't want to leave a way out for themselves? ”
"It's understandable to leave a way back, but you can't harm others and benefit yourself?" There was a hint of hatred in the queen's eyes.
Concubine Rong took a sip of tea with the teacup, and inadvertently captured the change in the queen's expression, so she immediately asked: "Harm others and benefit yourself?" What does that mean? ”
The queen glanced at Concubine Rong deeply and said, "How can a smart person like my sister not hear the meaning of this palace?" ”
Concubine Rong immediately laughed and said, "My sister is stupid, so I asked my sister to dial." ”
"Of course, the army of the Great Qi State is all loyal to the emperor, but in addition to the emperor, those who can control these armies, now it seems that there are four major forces." The queen let out a sigh of relief.
"Among them, the most powerful are the King of Alcohol and the King of Rui, each of whom can allocate about 200,000 people. Next is the army of Lu led by my sister and father, about 100,000 people. The next force to return people is the attached horse. ”
"Among them, the king of alcohol and the attached horse are in the north, while your father and brother and the king of Rui are stationed in the southern frontier. Of the approximately 300,000 people in the northern part of the country, about 200,000 were mobilized by the King of Alcohol, and about 100,000 were mobilized by the attached horses. ”
"The last time I heard King Alcohol enter the palace, I mentioned that the person who attached the horse was a little incomprehensible, and on the surface he looked like he was full of money, but secretly he was recruiting troops and expanding his power."
"Now that the eldest princess is dead, as soon as Concubine Min intercedes, judging from the emperor's temper, she will definitely be soft-hearted and agree to keep the title of attached horse. Not only that, but it is more likely that the emperor will feel sorry for him because he felt that he lost his wife at a young age, so he allocated more soldiers to him. ”
Concubine Rong asked with some confusion when she heard this: "It is not too surprising that the emperor wants to compensate the attached horse, why does the queen mother attach so much importance to this matter?" ”
"It's not that this palace values this matter, but it really involves the alcohol king, so this palace has to take care of it. The total army in the north is only 300,000, and if the emperor wants to compensate for the attached horses, he can only draw from the subordinates of the king of alcohol. In this way, won't the strength of the alcohol king be weakened? ”
"The emperor sent him to that bitter cold place, hoping that he could use a few defensible military exploits in the past few years to come back, so that the civil and military officials in the court would be impressed by King Alcohol."
"Who would have thought, at this time, a horse was attached to the horse, and a part of the army of the King of Alcohol was divided, you say, isn't this the platform of the King of Alcohol demolished?"
Concubine Rong saw that the queen was getting more and more excited, so she hurriedly reached out and patted the back of her hand and said, "Queen Mother, please calm your anger first, maybe the emperor won't send people from King Alcohol's team?" Maybe recruit new recruits to expand the ranks of the horses? ”
"Recruits?" The queen smiled helplessly: "Where did you come from?" Last time, in order to pacify southern Xinjiang, the emperor couldn't muster up 400,000 troops, and if he hadn't forcibly retained the veterans who were about to retire, the army of the Great Qi State would only be more than 200,000. ”
"The matter has come to this, but I am afraid that the holy order will not be disobeyed. What does the queen mean? Concubine Rong said.
