Chapter 14 The crown prince has a new concubine
Zhao Heng was angry in his heart, and he even stopped the morning of the day, he had been in power for eight years, and he had never stopped the dynasty and ignored government affairs because of something, and this time he saw him like this, Wei Jin knew that His Royal Highness the British King had really angered the Son of Heaven.
"Wei Jin, you go and invite the queen to come." Zhao Heng pinched the edict in his hand very tightly, as if he was going to crush the bright yellow silk silk, and ordered Wei Jin with a tiger face.
Wei Jin didn't dare to delay, and immediately withdrew and went to Kunning Hall to invite Empress Cao.
Her Royal Highness the Empress was born noble, and her ancestors were also the heroes of Emperor Taizu's founding of the country, compared to today's Rongguo Gong, but in her father's generation, because her daughter was assigned to marry the prince as a concubine, she withdrew from the court and was a very shrewd person. The first emperor saw that he retreated, so he assigned Jingzhou to her father as a fief, and was named the king of Zhongjing, becoming the first king of the opposite sex in the Daye Dynasty.
Queen Cao's softness has a graceful style of a Jiangnan woman, and the forbidden steps around her waist have not moved when she has traveled all the way, and the cloisonnΓ© peacock on the crown is swaying slightly, lining her whole person is luxurious and beautiful.
Seeing that Zhao Heng's face was not good-looking, he listened a little more from Wei Jin's mouth, and the hand hidden under the wide sleeve waved at Wei Jin slightly, and Wei Jin withdrew from the hall very sensibly. Only then did she take steps to the top, and when she stood still, she stretched out her hand and held Zhao Heng's palm, and whispered to him: "Rao is majesty is no longer happy, and he shouldn't stop the court." β
Zhao Heng moved to the side, pulled her to sit down on the side, raised and lowered his hand, and finally put the edict of the first emperor in front of Empress Cao several times, like a loss, and like a mocking opening: "Yuan Yuan, I originally thought that my father was the ultimate back then. But today I know how he sees me. β
Empress Cao took the edict by chance, rolled it up again after reading the reply, sighed, reached out and hugged Zhao Heng in her arms, and patted his back comfortingly: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, don't look at it." Does Your Majesty know what my father said to me when he retired that day? β
Zhao Heng tilted his head on Empress Cao's shoulder and neck, let her appease her, and raised the tone of "um", signaling her to continue.
"Whoever is a monarch, one is jealous of the foreign relatives to control the government, and the other is to avoid the military generals to control the three armies," she paused, "but whoever is a monarch, one will reward the relatives for their false positions and glory, and the other will give the father a stable one." β
Zhao Heng withdrew from her arms, sat up straight and met her gaze, but seeing that the eyes were smiling and gentle, he didn't realize that the anger at the bottom of the center had also melted away. I heard Empress Cao say again: "My father is leading His Majesty to be a wise gentleman through the ages." Back then, my father withdrew from the court for me, although he was mostly thinking about the Cao family, but he also worried about my reputation," she said and stroked Zhao Heng's frowning brows, "I think my father's heart for His Majesty and my father for me are the same." I am the same husband and wife, I know your majesty very deeply, I empathize with the grievances and resentments in your heart, but you are too fierce to deal with the Rong family, won't the former courtiers be cold? Although my father is the king, he is also your father, he thinks for the country and seeks for you, there is nothing wrong with this will," as if he was afraid that Zhao Heng would not figure it out, "Your Majesty wants to open some, Yuan Yuan will never lie to you." β
His wrinkled brows seemed to have been smoothed by Empress Cao, but the hand holding Empress Cao's soft hand was still a little heavier unconsciously: "Sometimes I really don't want this disguise. I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can ambush millions of corpses when he is angry, can't I deal with a Rong family! It wasn't until Empress Cao felt a painful "hiss" that he realized that he had pinched the person in front of him, and hurriedly let go of his hand, looking at the red marks on the fair-skinned hand, and felt irritable for a while, "Yuan Yuan, I"
Empress Cao didn't mind, grabbed Zhao Heng's waist and leaned herself into his arms: "I know that Your Majesty has no intention of hurting me." Feeling that Zhao Heng calmed down slightly, he continued, "Is Your Majesty willing to watch Daye's instability and the ministers and workers feel uneasy, and dare not make meritorious contributions in order to avoid the jealousy of the Son of Heaven?" Although the King of England has coerced the Son of Heaven this time, I think he also does not want to see His Majesty make a mistake. It's worthless to dispose of a Rong family, but the reputation and prestige behind the Rong family, doesn't Your Majesty care?"
Zhao Heng seemed to listen to it, but he was still more disdainful, gritted his teeth and hugged the queen tightly, and threw out a sentence as if talking to himself, "One day, I will get it back", and then did not repeat it.
On the morning of the second day, Zhao Heng opened the golden mouth, assigned a five-entry courtyard on Chang'an Street to Zhao Liang as a mansion, and ordered Xu Zhi to be in charge of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion.
Zhao Heng didn't expect that he had an edict in his hand, only when he didn't go to Changlong and pray for the queen mother for a few days, he should go back to Yunzhou, so he would say to Rong Jiang that day, "When the king of England enters Beijing, your burden can be unloaded", and now Zhao Liang is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, holding the position of a good product, and having the "assistant to the new monarch" promised by the first emperor, he will naturally not go to Changlong again, and Rong Jiang will have to go to Changlong every day to escort him.
On this day, Rong Jiang was worried, so he brought a gun to practice. Thinking about how chic and heroic she was when she galloped in all directions, but now she wants to be an escort for the Queen Mother, how do you think about it and feel aggrieved.
Outside, Tian Xiang led Honeysuckle to look at her, and seeing that she didn't mean to stop, Honeysuckle shouted: "Big girl." β
She was a little unhappy, but she stopped and walked over. Tian Xiang lowered her head and handed over a silk handkerchief for her to wipe her sweat, and she scolded Honeysuckle coldly: "I have a good temperament, so you dare to shout at me, how did you girls teach you?" β
Honeysuckle was a little scared for a while, and stumbled back, very nervous: "Our girl asked me to invite the eldest girl to come over." β
"What's wrong?" She saw that Honeysuckle was a little afraid of her, so she stretched out her finger and pointed at Tianxiang, "You brought her here, you naturally know what's going on?"
Tian Xiang nodded honestly and replied: "Didn't the sister of the eldest lady of the third room enter Beijing a few days ago?" Girl, you know," said a little humming, looked up at Rong Jiang, saw her nodded, and then continued, "That aunt and wife led the eldest girl of their house to come together, and lived in the ten miles of alley across the street from our Rong Mansion. β
Rong Jiang was not very happy in his heart, and he was not very happy when he heard her rambling a lot, so he interrupted her: "You have served me since you were a child, what is the matter now, and the reply is so verbose." β
Tian Xiang paused, stuck out his tongue, and knew that his own girl was displeased, so he picked up the key points and went back and forth: "The two girls accompanied her to enjoy the fish in the Baoyue Pavilion, and the Feng family's cousin didn't know where to hear the words, saying that the prince had a new concubine a few days ago, and she was very talkative, and when she opened her mouth, she was all ridiculing our two girls for not being able to do it, and now they are going to get married, and the husband can't help but go to the house to recruit people."
She didn't say anything more, because Rong Jiang had already walked towards the Moon Holding Pavilion like a gust of wind.
