Chapter 206: For Concubines
On the birthday of the Queen Mother, how could the four princes not be there?
Recently, the Queen Mother has attached great importance to Concubine De, and even her impression of the four princes of Concubine De has been much better.
Because of Concubine De's hint, the four princes were fully prepared for the queen mother's birthday, not only prepared a few birthday gifts that could be handed, but the four princes and their husbands were also the first to go to Cining Palace.
The four princesses and concubines coaxed the queen mother to show her joy, the four princes have always been silent and introverted, but they have also learned to please the queen mother, although they don't talk much, they can always show their filial piety to the queen mother in a timely manner.
However, after Emperor Qianyuan arrived at Cining Palace, the words of the four princes were less.
His advisors once said that they should not get too close to the Queen Mother.
Emperor Qianyuan's heart knot for the Queen Mother is still there, but because of filial piety and the Queen Mother's understanding of current affairs, the Queen Mother was honored to raise the Queen Mother.
It's not appropriate not to be close to the Queen Mother, and it's not okay to be too close, and the person who decides the candidate for the prince is always Emperor Qianyuan.
The four princes thought about it behind closed doors, and they had been away from the court for more than half a year, and it was too noticeable to go to the court rashly, so he started from the queen mother, hoping that Emperor Qianyuan could feel his sincere filial piety.
For a powerful emperor, filial piety is the most valuable quality.
However, everything went very smoothly, but who knew that the four princes were 'named' by Gu Tianze.
Emperor Qianyuan's meaningful and playful gaze made the four princes' hairs stand on end, and his back was drenched in cold sweat, and all his calculations seemed to have been seen through by Emperor Qianyuan, and he had nothing to hide in front of his father.
"Father's ......"
"Fourth prince, Aze asked you."
Emperor Qianyuan had a smile on his lips, "What do you think?" ”
The hearts of the four princes sank to the bottom, and the father knew about it. knew that he was close to Wang Zhixuan.
"Erchen...... Agree with what Cousin Gu said. ”
The four princes could only bite the bullet and express their position. Healing the heavens is a great rejoicing. If it can't be cured, if Gu Tianze wants Wang Zhixuan's life, the four princes will not say anything to save Wang Zhixuan.
Emperor Qianyuan turned his head and continued to watch the good show outside, the heads of the four princes were lowered, and the eyes of others were as uncomfortable as pinpricks.
Gu Tianze said slowly: "This is not a temptation. ”
It is false to say that she is not sad, Wang Zhixuan is very sad about the answer of the four princes.
Although her reason told herself that the Four Princes would definitely make this choice, she heard the Four Princes' answers. Wang Zhixuan's heart is congested.
Especially feeling Wang Zhiyao's mocking gaze, all her efforts could not shake the four princes' desire for power.
No matter how rational a woman is, she will be uncomfortable when she meets a ruthless man.
"You...... Won again. ”
Wang Zhixuan smiled bitterly, but she would not admit defeat, sooner or later, she would always be able to win the heartfelt love of the four princes.
"It's boring to talk to you about winning or losing." Wang Zhiyao smiled lightly, "I hope you can cure Tiansuan's eyes, Fifth Sister, it's for your own life...... You have to heal the heavens, after all, ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Zhiyao stepped forward and approached Wang Zhixuan. Leaning into her ear, "God can't love you too much." I don't give a chance again and again, I think people who have thought about it once know how to cherish their lives more, and they are more afraid of death, what does the fifth sister think? ”
"You...... Threaten me? Wang Zhixuan's complexion changed greatly, and she said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that Fourth Master Wang will know your identity?" Isn't the reason why he loves you now because you are his daughter? ”
"It's not a threat, it's just that I want the fifth sister to be dedicated to the sky with fewer twists and turns, as for the father...... He hurts this body so much, he wants to make up for the debt of his daughter, I am here, naturally Wang Zhiyao is alive, who will kill me one day, my father will avenge me, even if the person who harmed me is you! ”
"You're bold."
"No matter how big it is, it's not as big as the fifth sister, but it's just that everything is clear."
Wang Zhiyao didn't mind if Wang Zhixuan knew that she was crossing, and said meaningfully: "There is no one among the hundreds of millions of people in the fifth sister's fate, you are so enviable, you and I have chosen different paths, and it is inevitable that there will be fights in the past, but now you are the heir of the long house, and you are still fighting with me, don't you think it's too wasteful of effort?"
This kind of honesty is something that Wang Zhixuan does not have.
"Are you scared?" Wang Zhixuan asked rhetorically, "Take the initiative to make peace?" ”
"Afraid?"
Wang Zhiyao heard an extremely funny joke, "You took advantage of it that time?" Just now you said that you lost again, and I was always entangled with you, and I was very tired. ”
Her face naturally showed a little impatience, and Wang Zhixuan regained her energy after seeing it.
"Aren't you relying on your father and Gu Sanshao?"
"A reliable backer is called a backer, and finding a backer is also a skill."
“……”
"Don't be unconvinced." Wang Zhiyao glanced at Gu Tianze next to her, "Do you believe it or not, I can talk to Your Majesty?" Even if I don't study medicine like you, Your Majesty will take it very seriously. ”
"Isn't it because of Gu Tianze, you have today?"
Wang Zhixuan only felt uncomfortable tightness in her chest, who doesn't want to sit back and enjoy it?
After several rounds and exhaustions, what did she get?
"Your Majesty, if the cousin of the courtier's daughter cures the heavens, will you give her some reward?"
With Wang Zhiyao's words, the door of the main hall of Cining Palace slowly opened, and Emperor Qianyuan, dressed in the emperor's court clothes, appeared at the door of the main hall.
He stood with his hands against the light and his hands down, and he couldn't see the change in Emperor Qianyuan's expression clearly where Wang Zhiyao was standing, but the emperor's power was overwhelming, and he was full of momentum to determine people's life and death.
"You're asking for a reward?"
"She has said that it is the duty of a doctor to save lives and help the wounded, and she does not ask for anything in return, but is only willing to relieve the pain of patients."
"Hmm."
The corners of Emperor Qianyuan's mouth were slightly hooked, and he took in Wang Zhiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, this girl was interesting.
There was an indescribable irony in the words that came out of her mouth.
Emperor Qianyuan is also fun-loving, and his eccentric eyes are imprinted in his bones, "Since Wang Zhixuan is not harmonious and rich and does not ask for anything in return, you and she are cousins, how about I transfer the reward that should be given to her?" ”
"Your Majesty......"
Wang Zhixuan bit her lower lip, not to mention that she couldn't get a reward, she worked hard. Fulfill Wang Zhiyao. It's going to make you vomit blood in frustration.
"Courtiers don't."
"You want to learn from her, too?"
Emperor Qianyuan's index finger pointed at Wang Zhixuan.
"She's just a cousin of a courtier. What's more, courtiers also have the ability to be rewarded by His Majesty. ”
"I can't see it."
“…… You read that wrong. ”
"Hahaha."
Emperor Qianyuan was amused by Wang Zhiyao's rich expression, and his words were a little indescribably spoiled, "It's your ability to make me laugh, Aze." ”
"The minister is here."
"What do you think I should reward her?"
"Your Majesty has always had the beauty of an adult, and today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the days are excellent."
Gu Tianze raised his head and said, "You should also make a decision, Master Chen's excerpt has been sent to you for a while." ”
"I'm in a quandary." Emperor Qianyuan looked around at the princes and sighed: "The palm of the country." Every important decision must be made carefully, and once decided, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will not leave me with a chance to regret it. My decision is not only about the people of the world, but also about my heir! Can the prince understand my good intentions? ”
The princes present had their ears pricked up high, and they heard the prince's ...... Could it be the mind of his father and the crown prince?
Some people also looked at Wang Yixin and speculated about what Wang Yixin wrote on the fold.
Will the recent controversy in the court be determined today?
Wang Zhiyao said softly: "Since Your Majesty can't be sure, it's better to try it on a small scale first." ”
"Oh, where should I try?"
Emperor Qianyuan warned Wang Yixin with his eyes, "Say it boldly, don't be afraid to say it wrong." I don't blame you. ”
"The courtiers think it's best to try in the northwest."
"Why?"
"Is the controversy about whether the mediocrity is more harmful, or is the source of the great harm of capable corrupt officials originating in the northwest? In fact, mediocre officials and corrupt officials are not good officials in the eyes of courtiers. Why choose the least harmful one among them? Isn't it okay to directly use a capable, upright and good official? ”
"I also think, but I can't read minds, and I can't predict whether the officials I have entrusted with important tasks are greedy, and how many officials who are impassioned in front of me have changed as soon as they arrive in the locality?"
The official system affects the whole body, and Emperor Qianyuan cannot be confused in the official system, and most of the decline of the dynasty begins with the corruption of the official system, and the corruption of officials is common.
"Therefore, inspection, anti-corruption and clean government are indispensable."
"Wang Qing's family dares to tell you anything."
"The courtier's father is worried, I can't help, I only have an ear, in fact, my father has no shortage of people to help him get ideas, once he sets a goal, he is indomitable, but he lacks a person who is willing to listen to him."
Wang Zhiyao doesn't need to be very good, and she doesn't need to do superfluous things.
She just listened.
Emperor Qianyuan said: "Start from the northwest? Are you willing to let your father go to the northwest? ”
"Your Majesty already has a candidate in mind, why deliberately scare the courtiers?"
Wang Zhiyao blinked with a little resentment, "He's not suitable." ”
Emperor Qianyuan looked at Wang Zhiyao for a long time, then turned around and said, "Liu Qing's family." ”
"The minister is here."
There are many people with the surname Liu in the court, but everyone knows who Emperor Qianyuan is referring to.
Liu Sanben knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty." ”
"I've handed over the northwest to you."
Emperor Qianyuan said solemnly, "A few years later, I don't want to see the people of the northwest singing praises for corrupt officials, and they don't even have the most basic official ethics, so dare to tell me what can I say?" Today he can do favoritism for his son for a few taels of silver, and tomorrow he dares to sell the northwest to Fanbang for the sake of greater good, his son's life! ”
Governor Ma's face turned pale, and he was biting the root of the matter, and heard Emperor Qianyuan say, "Ma Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, I will allow you to return to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and I will entrust you with important tasks in a few days." ”
"Also...... Wang Yixin is meritorious, diligent and conscientious in the Ministry of Officials, and can be called the pillar of the country, and he has been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, assisting Shangshu, and is specifically responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials in the northwest, you must cooperate well with Liu Qing. ”
"Obey."
Wang Yixin knelt down to receive the order, and concentrated too many envious eyes on him, responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials in the northwest, which meant that Emperor Qianyuan entrusted Wang Yixin with all the errands of purging the officials in the northwest.
Emperor Qianyuan turned back to the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother's birthday should not mention national politics, I also have a good thing to say." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, "What a happy event?" ”
"Ma Qing's beloved daughter and the four princes have affection for each other, and Concubine De has talked to me about it, and I want to give the fourth child a side concubine with a valuable status, and I think they are just right."
Emperor Qianyuan smiled: "Aze also reminded me that the fourth child is an amorous species, and he ...... I fell in love with Wang Zhixuan, I heard that Wang Zhixuan and Ma Mingyan were like sisters, although Wang Zhixuan did not ask for a reward, but I wanted to fulfill the fourth ...... Cure the heavens, I will allow you to enter the Four Princes' Mansion, but you can't cure it...... Aze's words are what I have to say. ”
P.S. I'm so busy today, sorry for the late update. (To be continued......)
