Chapter 4 Old Lady Rong
Rong Jiang returned home, and the Rong Mansion should have been a group of joy, welcoming this big girl who had been on the expedition for half a year. But when she stepped into the Rong Mansion, she felt a depressing atmosphere, not to mention the servants in the mansion, even her father was a strict faction. She just asked for peace, and Rong's father told her to go to the hidden courtyard, saying that the old lady Rong was waiting for her.
Such an atmosphere, in this way, she is not a fool, thinking that Rong Min told her before, "I'm afraid that my grandfather is waiting for you to go back and ask questions", Rong Jiang's heart trembled a little.
She grew up so big, and her grandfather's love for her was not too much, but it was also strict enough. Not as good as Rong Min, the old man probably put all his hopes on her, if she didn't do well in her schoolwork when she was a child, her grandfather was not allowed to eat or tell her to reflect in the ancestral hall. These, for Rong Min never. So to his grandfather, Rong Jiang has always been respectful and afraid.
She entered the hidden courtyard anxiously, and before she could say goodbye, Old Lady Rong asked her to kneel down with a solemn face. Rong Jiang knelt on the ground with a spirit, his knees couldn't stop hurting, he just thought about his bad luck today, so he knelt in the palace and numbed his knees, and he still had to kneel when he went home.
The old lady on the side probably saw that her figure was not very stable, although she didn't dare to plead, but she changed her way and asked: "Do you have an injury on your leg?" On the other hand, he told the girl to go to the doctor.
Rong Jiang knew that this grandmother was the most loving, so he quietly grimaced at the old lady behind the old lady's back, and replied seriously: "I have just been kneeling in the Qingfeng Hall for a long time, and my knees are a little painful, so it's okay." ”
The old lady was a little loose, but she didn't tell her to get up, but asked someone to bring a soft cushion for her to put under her knees: "I only ask you, why did Your Majesty secretly order you to return to Beijing?" Since you have won the battle outside, you should have issued an edict to the ministers, and the auspicious day should be chosen, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites will personally welcome the triumphant return of the army," he said as if he was a little angry, glaring at Rong Jiang, "It's good that you were recalled to Beijing without a sound, and even the affairs of the three armies were unloaded to Cheng Yi." ”
That's the disadvantage of having a grandfather who was born in a war. The army has won a great victory, what kind of regulations should the class master return to the court, he is clear, and he can't be fooled if he wants to.
Rong Jiang is actually a little aggrieved, this time she has been gone for half a year, although the usual march is also hard, but this time she fought hard with Xirong, and she really suffered enough. It was easy to win, and she also cut off the heads of the three princes of Xirong with her own hands, thinking that she would have the opportunity to be greeted by the Ministry of Rites, but who would have thought that she would be suspended from her duties and secretly ordered to return to Beijing. When I entered the capital, I was also angry all the way, rumors and impeachment, and I also met Uncle Cao Guo's straw bag in Ruyi Building to make trouble.
She stood up very straight, she didn't dare to be angry in the palace, and went home to face her grandfather, but she was very unconvinced: "You should ask Your Majesty what he wants to do with Rong Jiang." Seeing that the old lady was angry and wanted to shoot her, she hurriedly answered, "I don't dare to be greedy for merit if I have such merits, I am cautious and cautious in everything, lest others say that my military merits are too much." But what about Majesty? He also dragged Zhang Wei to impeach me, so as to trap me in Yecheng and remove my military power! How can there be such an emperor! ”
This was originally just Rong Jiang's speculation, Zhang Wei was pulled up by the emperor when he was still the prince, and no one in the imperial history of the Manchu Dynasty said that she was Rong Jiang's high master, only Zhang Wei, which is difficult not to think that it was Zhao Heng's instructions, but she has no real evidence after all. At the moment, I am talking to Mrs. Rong, but it is just a preemptive voice. Otherwise, according to the old lady, I am afraid that I will not listen to her half an explanation, so I will ask the family law to beat her first, and she will not be able to get out of bed for a few days.
"What do you say, you say it again!" Old Lady Rong was shocked by her words. Yes, this matter is not trivial, once the Son of Heaven instructs the imperial history to impeach, what does it mean? What will happen to Rong Jiang next? Or the Rong family, what will happen next?
His anger was expected by Rong Jiang, she knew what those words meant, and comforted the old lady at the moment: "You are blindly angry, and you refuse to listen to my confession, what you just said is my speculation, and there is no evidence," After speaking, he raised his head, as if the old lady was angry, and hurriedly "belched", "Look, you don't ask me to speak." ”
The old lady Rong on the side also played a round game, and counted Rong Jiang first: "How can you kid talk nonsense like this, is such a big person out of proportion?" Then he went to persuade the old lady, "You let the child finish talking first, and she has a reason to say so, don't you let people talk and beat people?" ”
The old lady forcibly suppressed her anger and pointed at Rong Jiang: "Okay, good," the three of them came out, and then snorted coldly, "I told you to say that if you can't tell the reason, I have to treat you well this time." You say! ”
Rong Jiang shrunk her neck, and only then did she tell the old lady what was going on in the Qingfeng Palace, and she didn't dare to add oil and vinegar. In the final analysis, Mrs. Rong has been fighting horses all her life, and she has been in the court all her life, and she has experienced a lot of things, which is better than she can get the emperor's intentions.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the old lady was not as angry as Fang Cai, but calmed down, and asked her with a frown: "According to what you say, Your Majesty has already moved his mind to leave you in the capital and not let you out again?" ”
Rong Jiang nodded very honestly, and told the old lady about his speculation about the capital and so on: "Originally, I thought that there were such rumors in the capital, but it was just that some people couldn't see our Rong family's good." But now I think about it, but I don't want to do it," she paused slightly, moved her body, and let out a "hiss" sound, sure enough, the old lady frowned and asked someone to help her up, she snickered in her heart, but her face did not miss half a point, and then said: "You think, this time I killed the three princes of Xirong and greatly demoralized their morale, how is this credit, I don't need to say, you naturally know." But at this moment, the Queen Mother wants to go out of Beijing, why is she going out of Beijing? The harem of the Son of Heaven is harmonious, and the old lady is taking care of her days, if it is said to be a blessing, why don't you go before the army starts? If you want me to say, the rumors are the work of His Majesty. It is precisely because of such rumors that the Queen Mother is uneasy, so she wants to go to Changlong to live and pray for blessings, and His Majesty also secretly ordered me to return to Beijing, what about Zhang Wei? With this reason, and the fact that I have just made a great achievement, it happens that I have achieved great success. This qiē is logical, and it is reasonable for His Majesty to detain me in Yecheng at that time. ”
Her words are not bad at all, the old lady also has such a calculation in her heart, no one speaks for a while, it seems that they are all thinking about the intention of the Son of Heaven to do this, as if they know each other, but no one wants to pierce it.
"That's not right." Old lady Rong suddenly said something wrong, and even her brows were twisted together, "You missed someone." ”
Rong Jiang let out an "ah", looked at his grandfather puzzled, tilted his head as if he was thinking, but he didn't think about it for a long time, or the old lady slowly spit out a sentence of "King Ying", and she came back to her senses.
Yes, why did he return to Beijing? The king of England was registered as the emperor's younger brother by the first emperor, and almost occupied the throne of today's son, if it weren't for the fact that this prince was only dedicated to the good of the country and took the initiative to let the virtuous, now I can't tell who is the emperor. It stands to reason that such a person is reasonable to put him in a fief for the rest of his life, why at this time, the emperor will allow him to return to Beijing, is it just for the queen mother to accompany him? I've never heard of an uncle being a companion to a sister-in-law.
