Chapter 193: With your own body, you get what you want
"On what terms?" Ling Ru asked with some vigilance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xue Zhao's shoulders shrugged, she barely supported her hands and straightened up from the ground, raised her head to look at the emperor and queen and said, "Musician Yu Xuezhao, father Yu Qingyuan is obsessed with chopping the qin, and mother is Nangong Jing, the sister of the Duke of Nangong Mansion. More than ten years ago, my mother and my father fell in love at first sight, but my maternal grandfather looked down on my father's family background and thought that musicians were lowly, so he tried his best to stop them. When Xuezhao was seven years old, my mother died of illness and did not see my grandmother for the last time before she died, and since then, my father has missed my mother every day, and three years later, my father also passed away. ”
Ling Ru was so shocked that she stretched out her hand to hold the armrest of the chair, and said softly, "I didn't know, you are Sister Jing's daughter?" ”
Xue Zhao didn't answer Ling Ru's question, and continued, "Xue Zhao knows that people in this world are prejudiced against musicians, thinking that musicians or people from music are the lowest people in the world. ”
But Xue Zhao never understood why, "Zhou Li Bao Shi" said that raising the son of the country with Taoism is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five royals, five is six books, and six is nine numbers. Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, ritual music has been admired, and generations of musicians have been teaching benevolence in order to inherit ritual music, and orchestrate silk and bamboo. ”
"If music makes people go on a blind date with each other, and courtesy makes people respect each other, and musicians play beautiful music for everyone, why are they themselves treated so unjustly?"
Everyone was silent for a while, Xue Zhao turned to Queen Ling Ru and said, "Queen Mother, Huo Qing, the assistant lawyer of the Taile Bureau, is good at music and rhythm, has high quality, and is infatuated with the county lord of Wanyan, but because of his identity as a musician, he is subject to the limitations of the world's leading households, and he can't get together with the county lord of Wanyan." The two of them have been in love with each other for a long time, and when they were in the Rui Wang's mansion, because of the obstruction of the Rui Wang, the lord of Wanyan had already committed suicide by taking medicine once, and he was saved by us in time to save his life. The county lord of Wanyan entered Beijing this time to ask the queen mother to agree to her marriage to Huo Qing. Queen Mother, there are so many precedents of discriminating against musicians that make lovers unable to stay together and hold grudges for life, can the Queen Mother still bear to block the family affairs of Lord Wanyan and Huo Qing again? ”
Ling Ru's body trembled slightly, and her gaze became a little uncertain.
Yun Yi looked at Xue Zhao from the side, his voice was a little pity, and said, "Xue Zhao, you are now unable to protect yourself, and you still have to take care of Wanyan and Huo Qing's affairs?" ”
Xue Zhao glanced at him slightly sideways and said, "I just don't want another pair of lovers in this world to repeat the mistakes of my parents." ”
She looked up at the two people in the center of the hall, and said awe-inspiringly, "Your Majesty, the queen mother, this time Xue Zhao is willing to go to the princess to make peace, there are two conditions, one is to ask the emperor to correct the name of the world's musicians, and the other is to ask the queen to marry Wanyan and Huo Qing!" ”
Wan Yan heard the news that Xue Zhao was taken to Wenning Palace by Ling Ru last night to receive the punishment early in the morning, she hurriedly finished freshening up, and rushed over without even having breakfast, and entered the main hall, just when she heard that Xue Zhao was willing to go to the north and kiss for the sake of herself and Huo Qing, she couldn't help but cry like rain, and knelt down to the emperor and queen with Xue Zhao.
Wan Yan choked up and said, "Queen Mother, in fact, Xue Zhao entered the palace for Wan Yan's business, and now she wants to go and kiss for me, how can I bear it!" Ask the queen mother to give Wanyan a monk, Wanyan can't take any more photos of the snow......"
Ling Ru was shocked when she heard this, she stood up and walked in front of the two, her eyes were full of tears at some point, she stretched out her hand to help Xue Zhao up, but Xue Zhao bowed to the ground again, and said in a firm voice, "If the emperor and the queen mother do not agree to Xue Zhao's request, Xue Zhao can only kneel here." ”
There was a trace of remorse and emotion in Ling Ru's eyes, and she turned her head to look at the emperor, as if she was asking for the emperor's opinion.
The emperor's brows were tightly locked, he looked at the scene in front of him, sighed, stood up, and said loudly to the eunuch standing at the entrance of the palace, "Pass on my will, from now on, abolish the music registration system, prohibit the wives and daughters of criminals, prisoners of war and other groups and their descendants to be registered in a special music book to force them to be musicians for generations, improve the status of musicians, and musicians inside and outside the palace can be promoted together with foreign court officials." ”
Saying that, he turned his head to look at Xuezhao again, was silent for a moment, and said with some difficulty, "The county lord of Wanyan gave marriage to Huo Qing, the assistant of Taichang Temple, and the Qin was edicted to Xue Zhao, and the lord of Lan County was sealed, and he will go to the north tomorrow to make peace, there must be no mistake!" ”
The eunuchs who bowed down and served had already taken them all to heart, and when the emperor finished speaking, he immediately replied in a loud voice, "Yes, the slave will go to pass the decree!" ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Wan Yan sat down on the ground in a daze, feeling as uncomfortable as a knife, but Xue Zhao beside him bowed his head with his hand to the pillow, "Xue Zhao is a musician in the world, thank the emperor for his holy grace!" ”
Yun Yi was also stunned, he ran to the emperor in a few steps, his face was full of pain, knelt down and said, "Father! The country is in trouble, we should have waited for the boy to die on the battlefield, for the sake of the country, why did he send Xue Zhao a weak woman to make peace? Where do I save face? Father, please take back your fate, Yun Yi is willing to put on armor and go out on the same day, if you don't kill those thieves, Yun Yi will definitely not come back! ”
"Cloud Wing!" Ling Ru shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? What nonsense? Your father made such a decision because of his considerations, you are still young, what do you know about things in the previous dynasty! ”
"Yunyi," the emperor looked down at the crown prince, his eyes were thoughtful, and said in a deep voice, "This spring, there is a great drought in the north, and the people are not able to make a living, and General Qing's military salary for the expedition to quell the chaos has consumed a lot of silver taels in the treasury, and it is really not suitable to use troops and horses, but the northern thieves continue to harass the frontier, if they are not appeased temporarily, I am afraid that the people will not be able to live in peace, so we can only use expedient measures to ensure the temporary stability of the border between our DPRK." When the drought is over and the treasury is full, I don't need you to say it, and I will beat them so that they don't dare to turn back and invade my border again!" ”
Endless despair appeared on Yun Yi's face, his eyes became empty and empty, he finally failed to protect Xue Zhao, and he would be in this deep palace in the future, enjoying a moment of peace in exchange for the body of the woman he loved.
Ling Ru turned around and helped Xue Zhao up, her eyes were full of gratitude, her voice became calm and gentle, and said, "Xue Zhao, it was this palace that always misunderstood you before, you are a good girl, you are someone else in your heart, it is the world, and this palace is ashamed of itself." ”
