Chapter Fifty-Eight: Harmony

When he heard Cao Mingyang's character, Duan Min felt disgusted and very sad. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info carefully selected by his father, but he didn't expect to be such a snob.

Hearing that Liang Zan was going to help her get out of the marriage, Duanmin's heart was warm. After all, no matter how bad the situation is, there is always a younger brother who thinks about himself.

didn't expect the Queen Mother to insist on this marriage. Marrying Cao Mingyang, his life's major events are not as good as the face of the Chengen Mansion, and Duan Min really doesn't know which of these two things makes him more sad.

The Queen Mother is an elderly person who does not like to hear crying. When she saw Duan Min crying, she was a little impatient and said, "What kind of mourning are you howling?" Howl out! It's really unlucky! ”

In the Buddhist hall in the west, Concubine Xian heard that the situation here was not good, so she wanted to go over and help Duanmin say something.

She picked up the scripture she had just copied and said to Xuanhui: "You come out with me, let's go and ask the Queen Mother if this kind of copying is okay." ”

The mother and daughter had just entered the banquet room, but a little eunuch hurriedly came over to report: "Empress Dowager Qi, the news of the peace negotiation between Liaodong and Haixi, said that the Khan King of Haixi asked the princess to make peace!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Where do you start with this?" Da Zhou had a tie with them this time, why do you want to make peace? ”

The little eunuch replied, "The slave is stupid, and I have not heard the reason for this. I only heard that the embassy in the western part of the sea is already on the way, and it will be in Beijing in a few days. ”

When Concubine Xian heard the news, a cold sweat broke out on her back, and she only felt a chill on the back of her neck. She was secretly glad that Xuanhui's marriage had been settled yesterday, otherwise if Xuanhui went to make peace...... She shook her head, trying to shake the terrible thought out.

The Queen Mother has been angry from morning to now, and she is already a little tired by this time. She didn't bother to scold the little eunuch who came to report the news, so she only waved her hand and said, "Go and see what the emperor is doing, if you finish discussing with the elders, please come to Changchun Ju." ”

After that, the Queen Mother leaned back on the big pillow, closed her eyes and recuperated, and stopped talking.

The others were sitting, standing, or kneeling, all holding their breath, and they could hear pins falling in the room.

After a short time, Emperor Yuan and Emperor hurriedly arrived. As soon as he came in, he saw Liang Zan kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, and he was extremely distressed, but he was helpless.

When he walked past Liang Zhan, he stopped, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, bent down and stuffed it into Liang Zhan's hand, motioned him to wipe the sweat from his head, and then quickly walked into the main hall of Changchun Ju.

The Queen Mother heard the movement of Emperor Yuan He coming in, and slowly opened her eyes. After Yuan and Emperor bowed, she asked, "What do you say about harmony?" ”

Emperor Yuanhe said with a bitter face: "After the two armies are fighting, they say that they are negotiating peace and signing a goodwill covenant." King Haixi Khan said that he would marry the princess of our Great Zhou for his youngest son, and the two families would always marry Qin and Jin, and there would be no more disputes and no wars. ”

The Queen Mother scolded: "Phew! Well said! It's not that Da Zhou hasn't signed an alliance with them, and in the end, they came to fight first! Send a princess over this time, and they will be able to stop? I don't think so! ”

Emperor Yuanhe said: "King Haixi Khan may have some sincerity this time. The spies of the military department said that this youngest son was born from the current concubine of King Haixi Khan, and he asked to marry the princess in order to get a strong reinforcement for this son. After a hundred years of his change of khan, let's Da Zhou can also deter his older sons. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "I didn't know that this Khan King was still a person who knew etiquette, and he knew the rule that he would not be established!" It can be seen that although my Great Zhou is a state of etiquette, there are times when people do not understand it as well! ”

Emperor Yuanhe was embarrassed, but he didn't want to argue with the Queen Mother at this time, so he continued: "In the future, my princess of Da Zhou will give birth to an heir to inherit the throne, and the two countries will always be brothers' countries, and they will be even closer." For the sake of the country, the son feels that this family business has been done. What does the Queen Mother think? ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Duan Min, who was still kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Xuanhui who was hiding behind Concubine Xian, and said, "Since you, a father, think it's good, I naturally don't have a word." It's just that this person chooses ......."

Duan Min and Xuan Hui shuddered at the same time, and thought of He Jing, who was not present. The two have already had a marriage contract, but Hejing is old but has not yet married.

The Queen Mother paused and continued: "There are people crying and shouting that they want to quit their relatives, and they don't want to marry a snob. Then be loyal to the country and go to Liaodong and kiss! ”

Duan Min responded at this time, no, should not be, should not be. To be friendly is to admit that he is not satisfied with the concubine chosen by Emperor Yuan He, and if he should not be friendly, he is unwilling to be loyal to the country. She was in a dilemma, so she had to kneel on the ground and not say a word.

Emperor Yuanhe's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability, and he remembered Liang Zan who was still kneeling in the courtyard, so he gritted his teeth and said angrily to Duan Min: "What do children know? The wedding date has been set, what is the reason for the divorce? You don't joke, since it is already a marriage given by Qin, there is no reason to take it back! Fang Caizhen has already instructed the Ministry of Officials to promote Cao Mingyang by two levels, and he will go to the Ministry of Industry next month to be a member of the Ministry of Works. You can go back to me now, and it is only a serious matter to prepare for marriage! Hurry up and leave here with the third child, and the province will make the Queen Mother angry again! ”

Duan Min thanked the Empress Dowager with tears in her eyes and slowly retreated.

Walking out of the house, the midday sun pierced Duanmin's eyes. She took out her handkerchief to suck up her tears, and then walked to Liang Zhan's side. She reached out to pull her brother up, but Liang Zan didn't move.

Duan Min said: "You still have such a stubborn temper...... Since I was a child, I have faced the Queen Mother, have you suffered a lot of losses? Why is it so unmemorable? Hurry up, Father Fang ordered me to take you out of Changchun Residence. ”

Liang Zan said: "I know that against the Queen Mother, I have no chance of winning. But this time it's your wedding! I'm going to fight no matter what! Let you marry Cao Mingyang, that villain, I am unwilling! ”

Duan Min sighed, squatted down, looked at his younger brother levelly, and said word by word: "The news that Liaodong came just now, King Haixi Khan asked the princess to make peace. The Queen Mother said that since she is not satisfied with the Cao family's family affairs, then I will go and be loyal to the country with my relatives! ”

Liang Zhan gasped and asked in horror, "What did the father say?" ”

Duan Min picked up the handkerchief, wiped Liang Zhan's sweat, and said: "My father reprimanded me, saying that there is no reason to take back the marriage given by Qin, so let me prepare for marriage." ”

Liang Zan was angry in his heart and smashed his fist on the bluestone slab on the ground.

Duan Min stared at his younger brother's eyes and said seriously, "You listen to me." You are my biggest reliance in this life, as long as you are good, then Cao Mingyang will not treat me harshly. As long as my surname is Liang, as long as our Da Zhou is still here, he will not dare to treat me harshly. As for the rest, I don't want to think about it. As long as your life is good, I am in the inner courtyard, and it is not easy to think about it, and it is not so easy to think about it. ”
