Chapter 122: Misfortune

As Murong Huaide said, the workshop has a group of hard-working guys, and they don't care about the remuneration, and the efficiency of the workshop has also improved to a certain extent. And these guys who suddenly came to the workshop didn't get any more benefits, and the accounts were no longer let them take care of it, and the guys who slowly started to do things didn't have that tiger energy.

Concubine Bo watched Dongfang Qiu lying on the bed all day long, dying, and didn't dare to call the imperial doctor to come and see, so she could only quietly find the imperial doctor and ask how to make Dongfang Qiu's illness cured. The imperial doctor did not see the doctor in person and could not give a specific solution.

And on the side of the workshop, Dongfang Qiu laid out the bureau as soon as he returned to Qi State, but it had no effect, which made Concubine Bo look anxious.

At this time, the spies came with the news that Batu led the army to violently attack the border of Daqi, and they only violently attacked a few workshops and shops opened by Dong Rong on the border of Qi.

Concubine Bo was worried that she couldn't find the entrance to challenge Dong Rong, and after hearing about this, her eyes immediately flashed a gloomy. It seems that God will not look at Dong Rong again this time.

The next day, in the early dynasty, the process of a qiē was almost gone, and the emperor asked, "What else can you do to play Aiqing?" ”

Then a minister reported the fifth prince Batu's invasion of the border of Daqi.

The Emperor had heard about this matter, and he had analyzed it for a while before he did not react to Batu. Batu's attack was only a few shops, and it was good for the border officials to deal with it, and there was no need to make a big move.

However, the ministers don't think so, the territory of Qi is sacrosanct, and no matter what reason he Batu has, he can't infringe on the territory of my Great Qi State.

After some ministers said this, the other ministers also catered to them one by one.

At this time, Lord Gong walked to the center of the main hall, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is in charge of the criminal department, and he should not say more about the invasion of the border, so as not to exceed his duties. But Daqi is the Daqi of each of us, and Weichen has some words in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Say." The emperor was very disgusted by the kind of words that he clearly had something to say, but he preferred to say "I don't know whether to say it or not".

Gong Dadao: "Batu's intentions seem to be obvious, not for us, but only for those shops. It's just that I don't know what contradictions there are between Batu and those shops, and Wechen doesn't know what kind of shops those shops are for the time being. ”

The emperor waved his hand slightly, and the eunuch on the side told Master Gong all the details, and all those who were destroyed were Princess Dong's canning workshops and shops without exception.

Lord Gong made a look of listening carefully, nodded after listening to the eunuch's words, pondered for a moment, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, after listening to this qiē detail, Weichen thinks that Batu is not here for me this time, but only for Princess Dong's shops. It's just that Weichen hasn't figured out what contradiction there is between Princess Dong's shop and Batu for the time being. ”

As soon as Lord Gong's words came out, some ministers echoed them, and some people said that it was probably caused by the contradiction between Batu and Princess Dong. The shop is just a gap for Batu to vent.

What contradictions can there be between Princess Dong and Batu?

The emperor was a little puzzled.

At this time, Lord Gong reminded the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Princess Dong has a pair of twins, they are both civil and military, but they did not stay in my Daqi to serve my Daqi, but stayed on the grassland and were with Gardi. ”

"Gardi?" The emperor frowned, he knew about Galdi.

Master Gong said: "Gardi's father was originally a khan on the steppe, and after his father died, Gardi should have inherited his father's position as khan, but unfortunately with Batu's obstruction, Gardi's power seems very weak. ”

Lord Gong has already said it so obviously, Dong Rong was originally a citizen of Daqi, but he let his son go to the grassland to help other people's forces. To put it nicely, it is help, and to put it badly, it is Dong Rong who cultivates his own power on the grassland. What is Dong Rong's intention in doing this?

Other ministers also began to speculate, and they all told about the entanglement between Dong Rong and the second prince before.

There were even ministers who doubted Galdi's origins.

The emperor waved his hand to prevent the minister from speaking presumptuously.

"What do you think is good now?"

As soon as the emperor's question was raised, the ministers were silent.

After a while, a minister finally spoke, and it looked like it was Lord Gong, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since this matter is caused by Princess Dong, then Princess Dong should know about this matter." Maybe summon Princess Dong to the court and ask her what is between her and Batu, and you can find the crux of the problem. It is of little use for us to speculate in the court now. ”

Another minister said: "Since it was Princess Dong who caused the trouble, the emperor, Weichen thought that Princess Dong should settle this matter by herself." Batu's power should not be underestimated, and the grassland people who are accustomed to running on the grassland are all brave and good at fighting, not to mention those who are soldiers. Provoking those barbarians will do us no good. ”

According to Weichen's view, I am afraid that it was Princess Dong who expanded her power on the grassland and angered Batu. Although Batu is not the rightful successor to the throne of the Khan, he is also the brother of the former Khan, and he is also related to the Khan. In the final analysis, the affairs on the grassland are their national affairs and their family affairs, and have nothing to do with our Daqi, let alone every one of our Daqi. ”

"Every citizen of Daqi is thinking about how to live his own life, and he will never think about expanding his power in the realm of other countries. What's more, Princess Dong's canning workshop caused quite a stir after it opened on the grassland. In the eyes of some people, it is Princess Dong who can do business, but in the eyes of others, Princess Dong may have other plans. ”

"Your Majesty, if Princess Dong has such great ambitions, we should beware of it. If Princess Dong is only ambitious on the prairie, we may not have to worry too much, but Your Majesty, if Princess Dong expands her power in the prairie in order to finally be able to contain my Daqi, in this way, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

……

All the ministers expressed their opinions on this matter, and without exception, they all opposed Dong Rong's expansion of influence in other countries.

The emperor fell into deep thought, this matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled properly, the consequences will be very troublesome.

Seeing that the emperor was embarrassed, the ministers made suggestions for the emperor one after another, but there were only two strategies they obtained, one was to temporarily seal all the workshops of Princess Dong in Daqi, and wait until the matter was completely resolved before making plans. The second is to permanently eradicate Princess Dong's canning workshop.

The second method was really a bit extreme, and after thinking about it, the emperor decided to follow the first method.

All of Dong Rong's workshops had problems for a while, and they were destroyed by Batu in the grassland, even if Gardi and Qi Ge'er and others stopped them, they couldn't let all the workshops avoid being harassed after all. And all the workshops of Daqi have been sealed.

Dong Rong and Murong Huaide didn't expect the emperor to do this, and they were angry for a while, Murong Huaide wanted to find the emperor, and even more so to find Batu, as well as the ministers. Dong Rong grabbed Murong Huaide, she finally met Murong Huaide safely, she couldn't let Murong Huaide appear in front of the world, and she couldn't let all the daggers of bad people face Murong Huaide. Let them think that Murong Huaide is no longer there, which is not a good thing for Dong Rong. Those who wanted to deal with the Zhongshan Mansion thought that the Zhongshan Mansion no longer had the glory it used to be, so the strength used to deal with it was weak. Even Concubine Bo stopped a little, and the methods she used were not as ruthless as before.

But this time, all of Dong Rong's workshops were sealed, and Dong Rong was the first to refuse.

As soon as Jia prepared the carriage, Dong Rong entered the palace to see the emperor.

When I came to the emperor's imperial study, it happened that Concubine Bo was also there. Concubine Bo was dressed in a formal suit, domineering, with cold eyebrows and eyes, like a sacred and inviolable Buddha.

Concubine Bo knew that Dong Rong would come, so she kept staying in the imperial study, no matter how the emperor made an excuse to let her go back first, Concubine Bo was indifferent, and also found various reasons to stay.

When the emperor saw that she was sincere, he was no longer reluctant.

Dong Rong entered the imperial study and saluted the emperor and Concubine Bo.

"Please." The Young Emperor said gently to Dong Rong.

Dong Rong sat down on the yellow rosewood chair opposite Concubine Bo according to the arrangement of the young emperor.

The emperor instructed the palace maid to pour tea for Dong Rong, and smiled gently at Dong Rong: "Princess Dong came to me, it must be for the canning workshop?" ”

Dong Rong also nodded, seeing the emperor's gentle smile, the anger that had been pent up in his heart was much less.

Concubine Bo said coldly: "Princess Dong is really leisurely, all the workshops in Daqi have been sealed, and she still has the heart to come to the palace to chat with the emperor of the mourning family. But that's right, Princess Dong has always been bold and careful, so careful that she can open a workshop and do everything by herself, and she does it in an orderly manner. As for boldness, there is no need to say more about the mourning family, being able to cultivate their own power in the distant grassland, and put their own pair of excellent sons there, it is definitely not something that other timid women can do. ”

Dong Rong greeted Concubine Bo's cold and arrogant gaze and smiled, "The concubine has promoted the concubine, and the concubine's pair of sons like the grassland scenery, so they stayed there to play with their brother Gardido for a while. Anyway, the workshop is taken care of by Chenxi and me, and I don't need much help from them, so the concubines are up to their temperament. As long as they are discerning, they can see that the concubines have categorically not expanded their power in the grassland. ”

Concubine Bo pretended to be surprised, "And their brothers? Princess Dong, do you mean that Gardi is really your own child? ”

Concubine Bo's words made the emperor speechless, but with Princess Dong here, and Concubine Bo was her biological mother, he couldn't do anything to Concubine Bo, so he had to lower his voice and reproach: "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

Concubine Bo smiled and apologized to Dong Rong: "I'm sorry that the mourning family is talking too much, the mourning family also heard that the ministers in the court were doubting whether Gardi was born to Princess Dong, so they were curious for a while, so they asked." ”R638
