Chapter 172 Lin Ge Lao
The next day, several major families submitted their shortlists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Emperor Ping opened in the middle of the court, and set the top three and the top fifty. The rest are all named Luosun Mountain.
When Zhuang Yuanlang's scroll was opened, Emperor Ping's face was gloomy, why was this person. Thinking of the expression that day in the Lin Mansion, the man and Lin Luo only saw each other, and always felt that this man really had a problem with Lin Luo.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter. It was a happy day. Seeing that Emperor Ping had viciously broken the pen in his hand, Gonggong Ping stepped forward and asked at the risk of danger. handed the tea in his hand to Emperor Ping, "If there is anything to worry about, you should also be relieved." Today is the day of the full moon of the Great Prince. ”
Don't say it, but forget it, Emperor Ping took a sip of the tea, held it in his mouth and refused to swallow it for a long time. Filled with the bitter smell of tea, he looked at Ping's father-in-law with a smile.
"Is the Great Prince's full moon gift ready?"
"It's ready, and the old slave will send someone to send it over early this morning." Seeing that Emperor Ping's face had improved, Gonggong Ping was also happy. Said with a smile and bent over. "Do you want the emperor to go today?"
"Go, naturally go. The full moon wine of the eldest prince, how could I not go. Emperor Ping smiled, thinking of the fat boy who looked like himself, and his mood was much better.
"Yes." Father-in-law Ping smiled and said yes, I haven't figured out what happened yesterday yet. Emperor Ping seemed to have forgotten, and he reminded Xiao Guifei like this, also to give Xiao Guifei a chance to speak. After all, Concubine Chen can't be killed for no reason, and this matter still needs to be properly interrogated.
"By the way, call the Queen. She is a grandmother, and she deserves to go. Emperor Ping nodded, called out to Gonggong Ping before he went out, and commanded.
"Yes," Father-in-law Ping heard that the queen was also going, and immediately sighed. It seems that this opportunity is not easy to grasp today. Although Pinggong had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he didn't show it. went and instructed the people below to get things done. accompanied Emperor Ping to the Moon Out Palace.
When I arrived at the Yueyue Palace, I found that the concubines in the harem had arrived at some point, and the palace was very lively. Hearing that Emperor Ping was coming, all the concubines saluted obediently, because today's day is special, everyone is not too restrained.
The queen came after half an hour, and she didn't want to come. This Xiao Guifei's child lived peacefully to the full moon, which was her mistake. How could he come over to celebrate the birthday of this great prince. But the emperor sent someone to invite him a few times, but the queen really couldn't shirk it, so she had to take a sedan chair over. By the time we arrived, it was already night.
"The concubines see the emperor." The queen walked in and saw Xiao Guifei sitting next to the emperor, talking happily, and the eldest prince was sleeping next to him, looking funny.
Seeing the queen come in, she was silent for a while. It was Emperor Ping who spoke.
"The queen is here, but I have been waiting for an afternoon."
"The concubine is frightened, and the concubine's body is really bad. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. How did the queen know that Emperor Ping's first sentence was harsh, so she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Emperor Ping smiled at this time, "Hurry up, queen, I'm just joking." You don't have to take it to heart. ”
"Yes." When the queen saw Emperor Ping smiling, she felt that she couldn't get over it for a while. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he got up. Seeing the concubines sitting like this, they couldn't find their place for a while.
"Sister, sit here." It was Concubine Rong who beckoned to the queen and wanted the queen to sit next to her.
But where was the queen willing to sit under Concubine Xiao, but Emperor Ping didn't care about himself at all, so he had to sit beside Concubine Rong obediently, unwillingly.
"Sister. What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly. Concubine Rong pulled the queen's sleeve, "It can't be that she is really sick." ”
"What's the disease, you're happy when I'm sick, aren't you?" The queen was angry and had nowhere to vent, and when she saw Concubine Rong being so stupid, she simply sent the fire to Concubine Rong's body.
Concubine Rong was a little overwhelmed by the queen's yelling, and suddenly remembered what Lin Luo said before, and suddenly there was doubt and unwillingness in her eyes. Why, they are all biological sisters, and they must be pressed by her forever. When you're happy, you touch it, and when you're unhappy, you scold yourself like a dog.
"Your Majesty, I'm late." Concubine Rong was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a sound from the beam of the room. Immediately afterwards, Madame Bai jumped directly from the beam of the room, carrying a small box in her hand. "I've had a lot of trouble finding this thing."
"Why are you here?" Emperor Ping was very surprised when he saw Mrs. Bai coming, and he always felt very worried when he looked at Mrs. Bai's smile.
"Why can't I come, this is the full moon of the first prince in the palace. Before, I always thought it would be my own child, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Xiao's. Madame Bai said with a smile, and brought the box straight in front of Concubine Xiao. Sister, this is a small gift I have for you. ”
Concubine Xiao Guifei had a very bad impression of Mrs. Bai, so she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. It was Emperor Ping who took the box.
"Come on, show Madame Bai." Emperor Ping said with a smile, no matter what, Madame Bai is also kind.
"Yes." When the queen saw Mrs. Bai's treatment, she imagined that she was so left out like this, and compared the two, her anger blocked her heart for a while, and her eyes were a little dizzy. The White Lady deliberately asked someone to place a chair beside the Queen. Seeing the queen's expression like this, Madame Bai laughed.
"The queen is not happy, and it will not be like this." Madame Bai sneered, "With such a small family, it's no wonder that no one supported you at the beginning." Concubines can only be concubines, and they can't be on the stage after all. Madame Bai said the queen's sore spot, and covered her mouth with a veil.
"Where did Sister Bai see that Bengong was unhappy." The queen replied with a glare, completely devoid of the ability to organize language.
"You can see it everywhere." Madame Bai glanced the queen up and down, said with a smile, and handed the handkerchief in her hand to the queen. "Do you want to wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes, I feel distressed when I look at it."
"Bai Luo, don't think that you can be alone next to you." The queen said viciously, and did not go to take the veil. "Concubine Xiao Guifei is up, and it won't do you any good."
"I know, but it's even more unhappy for me to be the queen." Madame Bai continued to laugh, and the whole time she had an expression of enjoying talking to the queen. In the eyes of outsiders, the queen has no manners, and she looks like a woman with no majesty.
"This palace won't let you get away with it." When the queen heard Madame Bai say this, she decided in her heart that this Bai Luo must have colluded with Concubine Xiao, presumably Lin Luoye's red makeup was also on their side, and it seemed that she was really attacked by the enemy.
"Then let's see." Madame White smiled. Seeing the queen's eyes flickering, she looked at Concubine Xiao, and saw that this woman was even brighter and more beautiful than before. Really children are a woman's most powerful weapon. Even if Concubine Xiao Guifei has a child, without the support of her family, she still has a stable beauty.
It's a pity, if it weren't for the dead old woman of the Queen Mother, she could have that kind of power. Madame Bai touched her lower abdomen, remembering the scene when the Queen Mother forcibly poured medicine on her a few years ago, as well as the pool of blood. It was her child, who was not yet three months old, and she was gone forever. She is very queen mother and wants to break this old woman into pieces, but even if the queen mother dies, the child will never come back.
Thinking of this, Madame Bai silently glanced at Lin Luo, who was sitting quietly in the corner. At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, to be honest, she doesn't like Lin Luo, a woman. is too shrewd, too calculating, but in order to bring down the queen mother, he can only join forces with her. I also had to treat her, which was really laborious.
"Your Majesty, the hour is not early. Time to go. "Gonggong Ping saw that Emperor Ping was already a little drunk, so he reminded him in a low voice beside him that Ming'er would also meet with Xinke Zhuangyuanlang." Your Majesty, you can't drink it anymore. ”
"Well, I forgot the hour." Emperor Ping smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Xiao Guifei. "Concubine Ai, I'll go back to the palace first."
"Well, the concubine has thanked the emperor for treating the child." Xiao Guifei nodded, with a shyness on her face.
"I'm gone." Emperor Ping pressed his temples and stood up a little tiredly. For a while, he was a little unstable, and Gonggong Ping hurriedly helped Emperor Ping.
Emperor Ping staggered away, leaving the women in the palace looking at each other. Concubine Xiao Guifei also ordered someone to send the emperor down, and toasted a circle of wine before they dispersed.
Let's say that after Emperor Ping went to court the next day, the top three entered the palace. Emperor Ping sat upright on the top of the main hall, and saw Jingmo standing alone in His Royal Highness, with a slender figure, even when he knelt, he was full of temperament and integrity, and he was a person who could not be ignored.
"Zhuang Yuanlang's demeanor is really quite Wei and Jin style."
"yes."
When the ministers saw Jingmo, they were all amazed. The appearance and bearing of this Jingmo are all superior, and the literary talent and martial arts also belong to the upper class of this Daqing. is really a rare talent, for the selection of this champion, even the family can't find half a mistake.
Emperor Ping looked at Jingmo like this, but he was really uncomfortable in his heart. However, Lin Luo once said that the way of the emperor lies in controlling people, and if he does not choose a talent like Jingmo because of his personal feelings, he really can't be regarded as a good emperor. Thinking of Lin Luo's appearance when he said that he was unconscious, Emperor Ping was a little afraid.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." Originally, he was just saying some kind words, but Zhang Ge Lao suddenly stood up.
"What's the matter with Elder Zhang Ge?" Emperor Ping was very polite to this old minister and said.
"The old minister is over seventy years old, and now seeing Jingmo's literary talent and martial arts, I really feel that there is a successor. Therefore, the old minister had a reluctant request. "Listening to Zhang Ge's meaning, he wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown. The ministers hurriedly raised their hearts, if the position of the elder of the cabinet is vacant, I don't know how many people can be promoted because of this.
"Say."
"The old minister wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown." Zhang Ge Lao suddenly knelt down as he spoke, and squeezed out a few tears. All the ministers who watched were blindfolded, and this was what they were going to do. In the court, he directly said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown.
Zhang Ge Lao was more than just talking, he took off the official hat on his head and held it with both hands.
"As for the position of the elder, the old minister hopes that a new champion can take over." As soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a pebble in a lake.
Why, all the ministers are saying this in their hearts. Although this Jingmo is a rare talent, it would be too hasty to directly do the position of the old Yipin Ge. So many courtiers with old qualifications have guarded the position of the elder of the pavilion for nearly ten years, and now if the position is taken away by a hairy boy, wouldn't it be a big joke.
"Say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, I am ready. It's just that the matter of the replacement of the old pavilion is really ......" Emperor Ping paused, expressing great embarrassment. After all, so many old ministers are in the palace, if they agree to this on the spot, it is too hasty and difficult to convince the public.
"If the emperor doesn't agree to this, then the old minister will have to die on the spot." Unexpectedly, Zhang Gelao's attitude was very resolute, and he pulled out the hairpin on his official hat and pressed it against his neck. Old tears are rampant.
"Daqing has been a hundred years old, it has long been huge and powerless, although it is prosperous on the surface, but it is actually rotten inside. At this time, if you don't use new people, you will make drastic reforms. I'm afraid that Daqing's century-old foundation will be ruined. Zhang Ge's old words were tear-jerking, and the rest of the conscientious ministers who said it were red-eyed.
The big families all looked at it coldly, although there was no fluctuation in their hearts, but Zhang Ge Lao was obviously inciting his ministers by doing this. When the time comes, those old diehards will unite, and it is unknown if they really protect Jingmo's position.
Emperor Ping was also in a dilemma when he sat on it, so he had to persuade Zhang Ge to get up. But Zhang Ge always came with the determination to die, and the hairpin was pierced into the flesh inch by inch.
The rest of the ministers also knelt down and wept as well. For a while, it was like a funeral, which was also a miracle since the opening of Daqing. Emperor Ping looked at the ministers and saw that none of the people from the family stood up against it. I made up my mind.
"Since this is the case, then follow what Zhang Ge Lao said. Lin Jingmo took over as the elder of the pavilion. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and Zhang Ge Lao fainted directly with excitement.
"Lin Luo, today's plan is complete." In the Xuanwei Palace, Emperor Ping, who had just come down from the court, touched his chin and said to the woman standing aside. This matter was planned by Lin Luo from beginning to end. Lin Luo knew that Zhang Ge Lao had always wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, but let him go like this, it was inevitably a little too cheap for him. It is better to take advantage of this reason to hand over the important position of the elder to Emperor Ping.
As a result, there is a scene in today's court. If Zhang Ge didn't agree, Emperor Ping would not allow him to return to his hometown. Zhang Ge has always been wise to protect his life, and he can see that this Emperor Ping is not an emperor who is willing to stay in the shadow of the family and swallow his anger, so there must be a huge dispute between these two forces. The previous Xiao family was one time, and the next one will only become more and more dangerous, he just wants to live the rest of his life well. I don't want to be entangled with this terrible force anymore.
So, I thought about it for a long time. He agreed to Emperor Ping's request and sent Jingmo to the position of Pavilion Elder, which should be regarded as his last contribution to the Daqing Dynasty.
