Chapter 60: Uninvited
Ling Qingyu entered the palace to wait for the summons when he got the letter, because the king dealt with government affairs in the early dynasty, so he first taught Gongzi Qi Yiqi the way of chess in the Qilin Hall of Ronghuatai.
Yesterday, she naturally also knew about the people of Xuanji County, when Tianxuan and Tianshu joined forces to carve up the Tianji Kingdom, with Chishui as the boundary, the north of Chishui belongs to the Tianshu Kingdom and Tianji County is set up, and the south of Chishui is owned by Tianxuan County as Xuanji County.
It is rumored that Ningyuan Marquis was not welcomed in Tianji Country and deliberately fought for this place to think that he was ashamed, because he did not treat the people of Xuanji County well, not only had a large number of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also confiscated a large number of fields and gold and silver private property of wealthy nobles in Tianji Country.
On the contrary, Tianji County in Tianshu Country was particularly favored because some places were the family fiefs of the Yun family, the original wife of the king of Tianshu Kingdom, Dugu Yu, who not only reduced taxes for three years, but also maintained the status of several major aristocratic families in Tianji Kingdom, and encouraged Tianji nobles to intermarry with Tianshu nobles, and marry for a hundred years, so as not to become commoners because of the loss of the country.
Such a big difference in treatment, naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the people of Xuanji County, have crossed the Chishui to migrate to the Tianshu country, due to the large loss of population, this attracted the attention of Ning Yuanhou, so the Tianxuan country closed the Chishui ferry, blocked the passage between the Tianshu Tianxuan, after the Nanyuan War, Tianshu Tianxuan was evil, but also had a high-sounding reason to permanently close the Chishui ferry, and issued a decree, those who want to smuggle to the Tianshu country will be sentenced to death by the family, and those who are found to be smuggling and do not report the same crime.
The people of Xuanji County dare not speak out, but because of the necessity of life, there are still people who take the risk of smuggling Chishui, but few of those who succeed in smuggling are arrested and sentenced to death. The people's anger in Xuanji County has accumulated over the years, but I am afraid that it is very deep, and I am afraid that the matter of the civil change will not be too easy to deal with, this time the matter is really coincidental, so that Ning Yuanhou's mind will be divided, and the matter of the eastern suburbs racecourse may not be so tricky.
Ling Qingyu thought for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Gongziqi, only to see him holding the sunspot with a bitter face, looking at the chessboard for about half a pillar of incense, he was still undecided, and he didn't know how to go.
She didn't urge, just looked at it, Gongzi Qi's understanding of playing chess was acceptable, but the technique was too regular, it can be seen that he is a good-hearted person, not taking tricks, following the rules, not easy to lose but not easy to win, "Girl, this game of chess Qi'er is destined to lose, no need to play again." "Half a day of Gongzi Qi decadently put down the sunspot and admitted defeat.
Ling Qingyu stared at the chess game that had walked most of the chessboard, and suddenly exchanged the chess box in his hand with Gongziqi: "From now on, you will play white chess, I will play black chess, you can take a look." ”
Gongziqi was very surprised and said: "Girl, this white son has already occupied half of the country, and most of the black son has been swallowed up, and he is already desperate, why do you need to go down again?" ”
Ling Qingyu smiled slightly, twisted the sunspot, raised his eyes and glanced at the chess game, and took a black chess piece in the neglected northwest corner, and then made a few moves, using the only remaining town position to occupy Xingyuan, traversing the enemy's position, breaking through the encirclement, and gradually uniting the scattered sunspots through a dense layout, and finally being able to draw with Baizi, Gongziqi was amazed, and couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect to be able to play like this, and talking about a game with the female master is better than studying all kinds of chess games." ”
"Gongzi Qi is very smart, and with more experience, he will naturally become a master, but don't stick to the rules and routines, do a few things, surprise them, and attack them unprepared, so that you can win." Ling Qingyu felt that this kid was too sincere, a little admitted, and he didn't take measures according to the situation at all.
Gongzi Qi smiled shyly when he heard this, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, his long eyelashes blinked with the clear eyes of the clear sky after the rain, and he took Ling Qingyu's hand and said with a slight coquettish meaning: "Qi'er has been taught, daughter-in-law, can you often go into the palace to play chess with Qi'er?" Qi'er loves to play chess with you. ”
Ling Qingyu really likes this little boy, jade-faced and starry eyes, humble and polite, she is a cute little Zhengtai, she is the eldest in the family, and she has always wanted to have such a well-behaved younger brother, and smiled gently: "If you have nothing to do, I will accompany you." ”
Gongziqi cheered happily and jumped up, but he immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and he was sure that no one saw it, so Fang respectfully made a gesture, which made Ling Qingyu laugh out loud: "If there is no one else in the future, you don't need to be restrained with me, how happy you are." ”
Gongzi Qi glanced at Ling Qingyu in surprise and said, "Doesn't the lady ask me to be moderate in my words and deeds, and to advance and retreat appropriately?" Mrs. Ge often mentions his face, as a son, he needs to be an example for all the people, be cautious in his words and deeds, behave in a proper manner, and never act casually. ”
"Mrs. Ge is Mrs. Ge, I am me, just ask you if you want to do whatever you want." Ling Qingyu felt that although Mrs. Ge was not wrong, it was a bit too much to be so strict with a vigorous young man, and he didn't lose a little bit of liveliness, and he became an old eight-stock teacher.
Gongzi Qi tilted his head, as if he had never thought about this question, for the first time, someone told him that he could act according to his own heart, without taking into account those rules and regulations, and said suspiciously: "Is it really possible?" “
Ling Qingyu rubbed his little head and said, "It's okay." ”
At this time, Gong E came to report, the king and Mrs. Rong announced that Ling Qingyu went to the Yilan Hall of Ronghuatai to meet her, Ling Qingyu slightly tidied up her clothes, and followed Gong E to the Yilan Palace, just given a seat, a few words of greeting, King Tianxuan was about to ask about the eastern suburbs of the racecourse, but the internal supervisor reported that the queen and Mrs. Jinyang also arrived at Ronghuatai.
Mrs. Rong and Ling Qingyu glanced at each other, and they both felt that the other party was uninvited, and they were definitely not good. King Tianxuan's heart also had a sudden shock, what are the queen and Mrs. Jinyang doing here? The queen and Mrs. Rong have always been at odds, if nothing happens, they will never come to this Ronghuatai, this month has already been here twice, and also brought Mrs. Jinyang, it seems that they must know that he has recruited the daughter of the Ling family here today.
Who is behind the queen and Mrs. Jinyang, he is not uncounted, this Ning Yuanhou seems to be eyeing the Ling family, even if he asks the daughter of the Ling family in private, he has to intervene, doesn't he want the Ling family to stay?
He has relied on Ning Yuanhou all these years, and let him lean towards the government and the opposition, nothing more than because he has helped himself do a lot of unsightly things, and they have done it very properly, you must know that Tianxuan Kingdom is empty because of the empty treasury of the Warring States of Nanyuan, and his life as a king is not easy, he has been scolded by the Six Kingdoms for his decision-making mistakes, and he can no longer openly loot the people's fat and people's ointment, greedy for pleasure, there is a Ning Yuanhou as a shield, and the spearhead of the government and the opposition will not come to him, at most give him a reputation of mistaken belief and traitor, But they will never lose morality, lose government and lose the support of the people because of this.
Now this Marquis Ning Yuan doesn't know for what reason, pushing Ling Yixuan, the god of wealth, out, you must know that the Ling family is a wealthy family, if you can settle in Tianxuan, the annual tax and filial piety will be a very considerable amount, and no matter what he wants, according to the Ling family's financial resources and connections, he can also find it for him, if Ning Yuanhou drives the Ling family out of Tianxuan for his own selfish interests, then he will not be very happy.
