Chapter 2 Acting King
Qin Wan stood under the tree, staring at the hidden wooden door, his face full of anticipation. 『』
Seeing this, the secret lady was ruthless, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand next to Qin Wan and watch her carefully, lest she be hot or uncomfortable.
Qin Wan knew that July treated her well, her eyes rolled, she pulled Qiyue's sleeve, and asked, "Yueniang, why can everyone drink wine and eat meat, and wear beautiful clothes, but Aya A-Niang and Bao'er can't?" ”
This...... How can this be answered?
July was embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before he said, "Because, because your grandmother died, according to the etiquette, you must keep filial piety for her for three years." ”
Qin Wan let out an "oh", and as soon as July thought that he had been fooled, he heard Qin Wan ask again: "Bao'er's grandmother, is it the queen mother in their mouth?" I've heard that both the saint and the queen live in a big, big house, so why would Aya A-Niang live here? ”
This question is so difficult to answer that July is so anxious that the sweat comes out.
Such a big child, you think she doesn't know anything, but in fact, she understands a lot, and even if she doesn't understand, she remembers it, and maybe she will ask it one day; But you think she knows everything, she doesn't know anything. If it's nonsense...... The king and the lady have this right, she is just a maid, and she was able to survive with the great grace of the lady, get out of the country, and marry a good man, where do you dare to say anything to the little master?
As soon as Qin Ke walked out of the room, he heard his daughter's question, and his heart was even more sorrowful, Rao is that he has always been obedient, and has always silently accepted the unfair treatment given by his biological father, and in the face of this situation, he is also full of sorrow and resentment. Fortunately, he was still sensible, and knew that his wife was right, and if they could go back, it would be either the old saint who missed his son, or the new emperor who pardoned his eldest brother to show tolerance. In the final analysis, it is always in the hands of Queen Mu's dearest to make a living. If the truth is told at this time, it is definitely not a good thing to plant the seeds of resentment in Qin Wan's heart.
"Bao'er-" After thinking about it, Qin Ke didn't know what to say, so he had to suppress the thousands of sorrows in his heart and raise a gentle smile, "Let's go fishing!" ”
Pengze is close to the Yangtze River, the river is wide, and it is difficult to see the margin. Qin Ke was worried about his daughter's safety, and he didn't allow her to go to the river to play, because of this, for Qin Wan, fishing is a very exciting thing.
Qin Wan showed a big smile, ran to his father's side, and was just about to pull his father's sleeve and walk out, as if he remembered something, he poked his head into the room and asked in a low voice: "A-Niang is not angry, right?" ”
Qin Ke touched her little head, and his expression was extremely soft: "This is nature." ”
"Great!" Qin Wan cheered, "Go fishing, go fishing!" ”
Seeing her so cheerful appearance, whether it was Qin Ke, Shen Man, or Qiyue, they all breathed a sigh of relief, the children's problems came and went quickly, and after having a good time, she would never think about these problems again, right? July hurriedly went to call his own man and asked him to continue to be a long-term companion, taking care of Qin Ke at the same time, so as to coordinate the relationship between this Tianhuang nobleman and those soldiers.
The central army of Bactria was divided into two armies, "Southern Ya" and "Northern Ya". Among them, the Southern Yajun is the sixteenth guard of the Nanfu Lords and nobles, the children of the family, and the left and right guards of the head of the sixteen guards are not allowed to enter the family, the nobles and the sons and nephews of important ministers, but the Northern Yajun is different.
It took Xia Taizu Qin Yan more than 20 years to conquer the entire north, and in the long time and brutal war, some people died, some were disabled, and they were forced to retire from the army, and their livelihood was powerless. Seeing this, Qin Yan gave them the fertile land in Gyeonggi and its surroundings to cultivate, and recruited some of his descendants and relatives into the army, and formed a Praetorian Guard army of his own, which was stationed north of the palace gate. Not only that, but he also stipulated that in this army, if the father dies, the son can take office; If the upper peak is gone, the lower official will make up for it. In this way, from father to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, the Northern Yajun became the private army of the Great Xia Emperor.
It's just that no matter how much the emperor values them, they are just a knife in the hands of the ruler. Like this, the drudgery of escorting the degraded princes and grandsons, the powerful children of the sixteen guards of Nanfu did not dare to touch it, and there were also good elders who turned around from it, and this hot potato had to fall on the Beiyajun who had no foundation and no background, and put together these soldiers and the family of the acting king.
The tiger fell into the plain, and the gentle Qin Ke was a nobleman in the end, not to mention the spirit of the book, and the military and government affairs were not touched at all. If he meets someone from the sixteen guards of Nanfu, he may be able to talk to the other party about a few words of wind and snow, poetry and songs; As for these Northern Yajun, they really can't find a topic to talk about, and they can't talk about it at all. Fortunately, Shen Man had a heart and an eye, and he intended to envelop these people, and he had loyal servants by his side. Cheng Fang, as a former retainer who won Shen Man's new appointment, is sleek and clever. Just like now, he took out his own good wine, made some money, and asked a few hired cooks to cook some good dishes, with a warm attitude and generous shots, which makes people's hearts iron when they look at it. In the past few years, although Qin Ke and Shen Man have a lukewarm relationship with these soldiers, Cheng Fang and Qin Wan have really mingled with them.
That's right, in addition to Cheng Fang, there is also a lively and cheerful Qin Wan who has successfully won the love of these big bosses.
People are familiar, although they are not open-mouthed, and they are not as taboo as before, Liang Hu, who has a frizzy personality, asked: "I said, Cheng Erlang, why is Shen Niangzi so angry today, even the little lady has to be beaten?" ”
"Alas, it's not your fault with Li Sanlang!" Cheng Fang is such a shrewd person, he naturally has a sad face when he hears this, and sighs, "Don't forget, let's keep it for 100 days, but the king and the lady have to keep it for three years." You hunted a rabbit for the little lady at this time, and almost coaxed her to eat it, the lady saw that the little lady was so ignorant, didn't she get annoyed? ”
As soon as these words came out, some clever people became delicate. Because they all understand that the exile of the Dai Wang's family here is not only an unwarranted disaster, but also inseparable from this Queen Mu.
The matter of the heavenly family, there is no one who has lived in Chang'an for a long time who is not clear - the saint's surname is Qin, his name is Heng, he is the second son of Taizong, and his original wife's surname is Mu, but he is his cousin, the niece of Empress Taizong.
This proud woman of the sky has a good background, good appearance, and good temperament, and she can't find fault anywhere, but she has never been able to give birth to a son. But the saint still wanted to protect her, and said to the first emperor that he could not give birth to a son to complain about himself and his wife, and swore that when the prince's brother ascended the throne, he would ask him to pass a son to himself. As for the first emperor, he knew that the second son Mo was very heroic now, and he was indeed sick and crooked when he was a child, so they and his wife had to worry about countless hearts, and maybe there was really a problem in that regard. After all, men, who wants to talk about this unless they have to? Asked the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor couldn't say who had a problem, so he could only vaguely say that the princess was a little cold in the palace, and the king's foundation was also a little lost, probably both of them had a little problem, but the man was on the man's side...... It's just a little bit more likely.
Besides, the eldest son of the first emperor is really a little narrow-minded, and he has always picked his nose and eyes at this favored brother-in-law, even if the younger brother is half willing and half to avoid suspicion to marry his cousin and voluntarily give up a strong in-law, it can't dispel his doubts. In order to stabilize the status of the eldest son and avoid the tragedy of his brother Ni Wall, the first emperor simply acquiesced in the matter of the second son's succession to the emperor's grandson, and turned a blind eye to this matter.
In this way, nothing happened to each other, and ten years passed.
It is said that drinking is easy to make mistakes, and Qin Heng is the same, he went to the banquet of his younger brother King Xiang, and was drunk by the prince and several younger brothers who came out of the palace in turn, and fortunately got a maiko after getting drunk. In the face of his younger brother, Qin Heng had no choice but to take this woman back to the palace, and ordered someone to place her in the mansion, so that he could guard her, and planned to send her out in a few months.
This maiko was specially trained by the King of Xiang to envelop his brother, he was born beautifully, his mind was exquisite, his wrists were active, and his ability to deal with men was first-class, which can be called a generation of stunners. It's a pity that she used all kinds of means and calculations, and when she met Qin Heng, they all became useless. After being detained in the palace for three months like a prisoner, it was easy to hear the summons of the King of Qin, and he dressed up carefully to go forward, and actually asked her to pour wine at the banquet. Seeing that his subordinates showed a look of amazement, he didn't say a word and gave it away directly.
When the Maiko heard this, her face was discolored, and she didn't care about the question of whether the princess was jealous or not, so she sacrificed her trump card.
She's pregnant.
In front of the public, this news couldn't be covered, Taizong was so angry that he scolded the queen first, and then beat Qin Heng, thinking about it, he felt angry, and he invited his in-laws to be beaten again, suspended for reflection, and almost demoted.
Qin Heng was still humming and chirping on the hospital bed, and he couldn't get up, and six women from either family or good family or official family, all of whom were registered with Taizong and the queen, entered the door. As for the princess Mu, she was personally ordered by Taizong to reflect on it behind closed doors, when did these six women give birth to children safely, proving that she is virtuous and not jealous, when will you go out again. Before that, on an important occasion, don't even think about it, and never show up.
The biological mother was a maiko from a humble background who also ruined the peace of the palace; The biological father is not close, the mother-in-law ignores it, the widows and wives of the palace are full of energy to have children, the second brother and eldest sister were born in the same year as themselves, but the situation is one day and one place; Whether it is the Yue family or the title, he is pressed by his younger brother everywhere...... Everyone in Chang'an knows that the sage is interested in the handsome second son King Liang, and the three princes of Qi, who are carefully cultivated and benevolent, and are full of joy looking forward to the growth of the nine princes who are old and sister-in-law, but they have no intention of passing on the throne to the acting king. The case of King Liang's witch Gu five years ago is that everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with the acting king, but what is the result?
As the eldest son of the upright emperor, the acting king did not feel aggrieved for a day, and in the end he even lost his identity, and he was really good enough.
It's just that Cheng Fang means this......
"It's all here and you're still so exquisite!"
Cheng Fang smiled, and his expression was blank: "After all, the king is the eldest son of a saint, how can there be any reason to stay here for a lifetime?" Besides, although the king was demoted to a concubine, how could this flesh and blood be so lightly parted? Even if you can't go back for the rest of your life, you can't miss the moral etiquette that you should observe. ”
His face changed so quickly that the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what to say. At this time, Zhao Jiu, who was standing at the edge of the room and wiping the long knife with a cloth towel, suddenly said: "I have heard that the king is loyal and filial piety, and the princess was born in the mansion of the state of China. ”
