Chapter 123: Father, You're Old
After listening to his sister's story, Shu Hongxuan pondered for a moment and asked a question, "Hua'er, according to what you see, when Concubine Jing and Emperor Wan's concubine faced each other, was it because of Emperor Wan's smearing of His Royal Highness that Concubine Jing was angered and suddenly made trouble?" ”
Shu Yanhua didn't have to think about it, and replied directly: "Full of confidence, it's been a long time." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
At that time, as soon as Emperor Wan's slightly mocking words came out, Concubine Jing immediately counterattacked, with a mocking tone in her tone, not afraid of Emperor Wan's suppression, as if she often did it, it became a conditioned reflex.
And the most interesting thing is that Concubine De, the mother of the third prince, and Lu Zhaoyi, the mother of the fourth prince, obviously formed an alliance with Emperor Wan's concubine, but when Concubine Jing choked, they didn't say anything to help, which shows that the alliance between the three parties is not very solid.
However, thinking of Concubine Jing's ability to choke people to death when she spoke, the corners of Shu Yanhua's mouth twitched, why did His Majesty reward Concubine Jing with the title of "Jing"?
Do you want Concubine Jing to be quiet?
Shu Hongxuan's fingers tapped on the table, one at a time, full of regularity.
It is said that the harem is an insinuation of the previous dynasty, and this is not all right, but it is not far off.
At least Shu Hongxuan knew some things that ordinary people couldn't know from the short time when his sister met the concubine.
Concubine Jing can fight in the ring with Emperor Wan, and seeing the reactions of other concubines, she should have been used to it for a long time, that is to say, Concubine Jing is not afraid of Emperor Wanfei at all, and the confrontation between the two will not be short.
Even Concubine De and Lu Zhaoyi have to avoid the edge of Emperor Wan's concubine, but Concubine Jing can make Emperor Wan's concubine half angry, combined with the two or three words he heard His Majesty say beside His Majesty at that time, it can be seen that His Majesty also knows the battle between Concubine Jing and Emperor Wan, but His Majesty did not reprimand Concubine Jing for this, Concubine Jing is also favored by His Majesty, otherwise in the harem, it has always been a person who can be favored by the monarch to be so arrogant.
What's more, my sister also said that the good hands on the dragon boat where Zhou Tingyu was were all begged by Concubine Jing, and His Majesty seemed to really like Concubine Jing's mother and son.
Even the queen covered for Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing seemed to be very firm ******.
His Majesty favors him, the queen protects him, he still has a son by his side, his mother's family is still a famous family, and he can face up to Emperor Wan's concubine, in fact, Shu Hongxuan thinks that Concubine Jing is a person with more capital and arrogance than Emperor Wan's concubine.
But whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, all that can be heard is the arrogance of Emperor Wan's concubine.
No wonder it can be loved by the two most noble people in the Great Xia Dynasty, Concubine Jing is really smart.
And Shu Hongxuan also saw a trace of clues: the Fifth Highness has no intention of taking the throne.
No matter what His Royal Highness thinks about herself, at least Concubine Jing will not think about letting her son participate in the succession, otherwise she will not stand firmly by the queen's side.
The arrogance of the Emperor Wan's concubine, as the queen, she fell into the game with the Emperor Wan's concubine in person, Concubine Jing can be said to be the queen's heart and liver, and she did what she always wanted to do, so the queen will protect Concubine Jing so firmly.
If Zhou Tingyu has the idea of seizing the heir, I am afraid that the queen will be the first to deal with Concubine Jing, the queen can endure the arrogance of Emperor Wan, but she will definitely not endure Concubine Jing's betrayal.
What's more, the crown prince is eleven years older than His Royal Highness Five, eleven years, and the difference is not only age, but also knowledge, insight, connections, and power.
Shu Hongxuan looked at his sister who was reading a book in her hand, the light reflected on her face, white as jade, quiet and beautiful, and her heart was already a little loose about Zhou Tingyu.
He observed all the princes in the court, and found that no prince could stand side by side with the crown prince, even if it was the second prince, he had to form an alliance with the third prince and the fourth prince to have the strength to fight, whether it was to climb to a higher position or to protect his sister, he would stand firmly behind the prince.
Zhou Tingyu didn't have the intention of winning the heir, it was the best.
.......
Shu Hongxuan was figuring out the forces of all parties based on his sister's information today, and in a house several streets apart, there was also a conversation being conducted.
The prince of Qi Guogong looked at Qi Guogong silently, and only after half a sound did he spit out a few words: "Father, you are old." ”
Duke Qi smiled coldly, "Why, after so many years of being the son of the world, you can't wait to empty your father's power and control the Duke of Qi's mansion?" ”
The prince of Qi Guo looked at the white hair on his father's sideburns, the bags under his eyes, and the two deep nasolabial folds on the side of his nose made him look even more unrestrained.
However, the sword light and sword shadow have no follow-up, and they only need a wooden stick sticks stretched out next to it, and with a slight flick, the sword can be removed.
Shizi sighed, and there was a deep pain in his voice: "Father, do you want to compensate our Duke of Qi?" ”
The Duke of Qi was furious: "Rebel! Shut up! Everything he has done for his father is for the Duke of Qi! ”
The prince was not frightened by Qi Guogong's anger, "Father, can't you see that everything you have done has dragged Qi Guogong to the edge of the cliff?" A little carelessly, the Duke of Qi was shattered. ”
Qi Guogong glared angrily, and was about to refute it, but the prince didn't give him room to speak: "Father, why did you let An Lehou make such a market story?" Your Majesty, we have already thoroughly investigated our home in Dali Temple! Isn't that telling? The magnates who were investigated outside were all in danger, and after An Le Hou was given up by you, he couldn't help it anymore and begged the second prince! ”
"Father, how much affection do you think our Qi State Mansion has in front of Your Majesty? Even if there were, you squandered it! Do you want the Duke of Qi to lose at your hands? How can you be worthy of your grandfather, worthy of your ancestors? ”
"Fart!" Qi Guogong pointed at the nose of the prince and scolded.
"Father, you don't have to be loud, no matter how loud you are, you can't change the situation where we have one foot on the cliff. Today's Dragon Boat Festival, Your Majesty has not even announced a noble by his side, even Shu Hongxuan, who was born in Guangping Houfu, has been offended by us! ”
Shizi looked at the stubborn Qi Guogong, the disappointment in his heart became more and more profound, and the other thought became more and more firm.
"Father, Your Majesty, it's not the Emperor!"
This sentence became the last grass pressed on Qi Guogong's body, Qi Guogong's upright backbone slowly bent down, and the tough momentum gradually dissipated, like a strong ball, which was punctured through a small hole in the tip of a needle, and slowly deflated.
Qi Guogong's already old face looks even older.
Shizi's heart is sour, his father, who used to always hold up a piece of happiness for him above his head, is really old, but it doesn't matter, father, from now on, let his son hold up a piece of heaven for you.
Qi Guogong closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again, and the turbidity under his eyes was a little less, "In your opinion, how should our family behave?" ”
Shizi responded calmly and said his thoughts, "First, go to Shu Sheren and reconcile, our family has no grudge against him, that story was made by An Lehou, it has nothing to do with our family, although An Lehou is under the power of our Qi Guogong, but there are so many people under our hands, sometimes it is not controllable, it is normal." ”
The prince and the Duke of Qi all regarded An Lehou as an outcast. It's just because they all know that if Shu Hongxuan finds out the person behind the story, he will definitely become an undying enemy, and there is no need for their family to grudge against Shu Hongxuan for a happy person who is already destined to be abandoned.
There is a way that they would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, they don't know whether Shu Hongxuan is a gentleman or a villain, just see that Shu Hongxuan is a scholar from the middle school, and if he can follow His Majesty closely, he can't offend, otherwise once they offend him, if they don't get him out of this official position, it will be difficult for them to sleep peacefully.
There are only thieves who are thieves for thousands of miles, and there are no thieves who are protected for thousands of days. What's more, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them.
"Second, we will dedicate two-thirds of the land in our name to Your Majesty, so that we may be safe and sound this time."
There are as many as 10,000 hectares of land under their family's name, all over the prosperous places of the Great Xia Dynasty, if you want to pay silver, it will also cost millions of silver, not to mention that your duke's family has exceeded the land limit order so many fields, just to see that their family can get millions of silver, it is a sin.
Even if His Majesty spares them this time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be deeply involved in other crimes next time. How many families that have been able to inherit for more than 200 years are clean? This time it hinders His Majesty's eyes, and he can still buy peace with silver taels, but next time I am afraid that I will not be able to afford silver.
Even if they dedicate two-thirds to His Majesty, their family has enough land, and if they are too greedy, they will die early.
Qi Guogong was silent, and slowly, he stood up, came to Shizi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Child, you have grown up, and the Qiguo Mansion will look at you in the future, I, ah, am waiting to hug my great-grandson and enjoy the joy of family."
On this night, the real person in charge of the Qi State Mansion has been quietly renewed. (To be continued.) )
