Chapter 23: Crying
Listening to Qianxi's meaningful words, Qianhui's face darkened even more, this woman, this despicable woman, she didn't know what to do, she still wanted to save her some face, he shouldn't be kind to such a person.
"Go, move all the grain!" Qianhui directly ordered his subordinates, and Qianhui frowned and said, "Is the eldest prince really going to grab grain?" ”
"It's not about grabbing, it's about buying!" took out a silver ticket, Qianhui threw it to Qianxi, such a humiliating act, Qianxi didn't even look at the silver ticket on the ground, "I just don't want to sell it?" ”
Qianhui said coldly, "This is a fact that you should have known from the beginning. Even if you marry Ming Zhuowei, but you are a woman who is not recognized by the Ming family and Ming Zhuowei, does not enter the Ming Mansion, and is not supported by the Ming family. I don't want you, and I won't have any family to accept you. In this life, you can only stay in such a poor and remote Zhuangzi for the rest of your life. ”
As soon as the words fell, he took the wooden beads in his hand and threw them at Qianxi, Qianxi flashed, he snatched the bow and arrow in Qianxi's hand, and then waved his palm, Qianxi's footsteps staggered, his forehead hit the corner of the case, blood gushed out, and he lost Qianxi's eyes for a while, "Young lady!" ”
Without waiting for them to react, a person ran in, "Eldest Prince, the Holy Decree has arrived." ”
Qianhui didn't care, but suddenly turned his head and asked, "What holy decree?" ”
Before he heard the answer, he saw a eunuch come over, Qianhui was no stranger to this person, and the person was also very surprised when he saw Qianhui, "Master Qian, you are really here." Turning his head and seeing Qianxi with his head broken and bleeding, his face turned black, "This is the young lady of Mingda?" The younger sister of a thousand adults? ”
Qianxi got up and said, "The concubine body is exactly!" ”
The eunuch shook his head at Qianhui, Qianhui was puzzled, but the eunuch opened the holy decree in his hand, "Mingmen Qianshi takes the decree." ”
was directly named, and Qianxi immediately knelt down, "Mingmen Qianshi took the order." Qianhui and others also hurriedly knelt down to listen, and the eunuch continued to recite the holy decree, to the effect that he heard that Qianxi had been kind to exchange grain for land yesterday and save the people from fire and water, and the emperor rewarded her and let her enter the palace to receive the reward. In the end, I was afraid that Qianxi would not understand, so the eunuch said in a low voice: "Young lady Ming, the emperor has summoned you to the palace to see the driver, you can bandage the wound and enter the palace with our family!" ”
"The concubine is injured, is it wrong to enter the palace?" Qian Xi pretended to be a cowardly appearance, and asked cautiously, and the eunuch said: "The emperor has an order, and orders the lady to enter the palace with our family immediately, and the lady can quickly bandage the wound." As he spoke, he casually glanced at Qianhui, "Master Qianhui will also face the saint with us." Uncle Guo gave the emperor, and the thousand adults wanted to come to the Zhuangzi of the young lady of the Ming Dynasty to grab grain, but the emperor didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to ......"
The point is so far, but the news revealed made Qianhui's body shocked, and Qianxi had already knelt down crying, "Father-in-law, beg my father-in-law to talk to the emperor, let the emperor not let Qiandagongzi rob my food, that is the future ration for me and my child, if Qiandagongzi snatches it, it will force our mother and son to a dead end, starve to death." Father-in-law, please, please. ”
"Young lady Mingda, please get up, please get up, our family can't stand your kneeling, get up quickly!" Looking at a person with a broken head and bleeding pleading bitterly, he will be a little soft-hearted for a while. When he was about to help Qianxi up, but he saw the silver ticket on the ground, the eunuch picked it up, and Qianhui finally spoke, "Father-in-law Lu, this is the silver ticket I bought food for her." ”
"Master Qian, our family will tell the emperor what we have seen and heard truthfully. Mrs. Ming, please. "In this way, I can't care about letting Qianxi bandage his wounds, and directly ask someone to go back to the palace with him! Chikaki's face was completely dark.
All the way to the palace, Qianxi roughly bandaged the wound in the carriage, and was led into the palace by the Duke of Lu, she kept her eyebrows down and pleasing to her eyes, and she didn't even look at Qianhui who was entering with her.
"Lord Qian, Mrs. Ming, please!" Father-in-law Lu went in and said goodbye, and came out again to lead Qianhui and Qianhui in.
"Mingmen Qianshi!" Qianxi knelt in front of the hall with Qianhui, she didn't dare to look up, she didn't know the situation in the hall, but she heard a low voice from above, and Qianxi responded.
"I heard that yesterday you exchanged grain for land, 18 catties of grain per mu of paddy fields, and 13 catties of grain per mu of sloping land. Tell me how many fields you changed yesterday? Emperor De of the Great Yuan Dynasty half-leaned on the dragon chair and asked. Qian Xi raised her head a little dazedly, and lowered her head as if frightened, "Your Majesty, the concubine body, the concubine body has not been counted." ”
"So, how much food do you have in your house?" A gleam flashed in Dedi's eyes.
"Ah, yes, there are 1,000 catties, and the concubine's family left 2,000 catties for their own use, and the rest were changed land."
"A thousand loads of grain, hehe, there is a great drought in the capital, the people have no harvest, you have food in your home, why don't you think about the people, and take out the grain early, but today, it is rumored that the people in the city have starved to death countless times, so you bring it, and you have to exchange grain for land, tend to this crisis, tend to fire and rob, there is no benevolence and righteousness, and its heart can be punished." Qianhui preemptively accused Qianxi of justice. "Your Majesty, although this woman is a daughter of a thousand families, she has been born in the wilderness since she was a child, she does not understand the rules, and has no heart of benevolence and righteousness.
Qian Xi immediately cried when she heard this, "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine doesn't know how to buy food, it's a crime to exchange grain for land, the concubine, the concubine just thought that the emperor would definitely save the people from the disaster, until he heard again and again that the people were starving to death, so he moved the idea of exchanging grain for land." The concubine, the concubine doesn't want to send the grain to the people, but the food bought by the concubine is all used with the eldest prince's silver, and the concubine is incapable of sharing the worries of the eldest prince, and she does not dare to squander the eldest prince's money, please forgive the emperor! ”
Qianhui's face darkened, and Qianxi waved his hand helplessly, "Master Qian, you want the only food in the concubine's family, and the concubine body will be given to you, please don't beat the concubine again, don't let the emperor treat me again, please, please." ”
Straight in front of the emperor, completely ignoring the pain, Qianhui's face was even more dripping with blood. Dedi's inadvertent gaze made his heart tremble. "Chiki hit you? Why? You're brothers and sisters! ”
The convulsive pleading Qianxi was asked by the Emperor De above, stopped his movements for a while, glanced at Qianhui timidly, lowered his head quickly, and said in a low voice: "Qiandagongzi led someone to break into Zhuangzi early this morning, and opened his mouth to ask for the food left by the concubine, the concubine was unwilling, and the remaining two thousand catties of grain in the family were kept by the Zhuangzi, and it was the only remaining grain for the concubine, but the Qiandagongzi insisted on buying it, and lost a silver ticket to the concubine, and the concubine refused to buy grain, and then the Qiandagongzi waved the concubine down." The eldest prince of Qian said that the concubine body is the daughter of the thousand families, and the existence of the concubine body is the shame of the thousand families, and the concubine body should be in the poor and remote Zhuangzi in this life, and she should not appear in front of people and lose the face of the thousand families. ”
After finishing speaking, Qianxi couldn't cry herself, Qianhui wanted to open her mouth to explain, but Qianxi rushed to say: "Your Majesty, the concubine is telling the truth, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send the guards of the two families to come up and ask questions." ”
Even if the forehead is still oozing with blood even if it is tied with gauze, who would have thought that the words of a thousand regrets are half-true and half-true! Dedi looked at Qianhui's eyes with even more coldness. Qianhui knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, the minister lost his words for a while. ”
"Gaffes? If it weren't for Uncle Guo and me saying that the thousand families were short of food, and the eldest prince of Qian heard that his sister-in-law who married into the Ming family exchanged grain for land, and brought people and horses to the Ming family Zhuangzi to grab grain, I didn't know that the eldest prince of Qian was so majestic and cold-blooded, not to mention grabbing food, he even started beating people. You are still like this to your own sister, and what kind of means should you use to treat the people of the world? ”
"Your Majesty!" Qianhui panicked, but Emperor De didn't even give him another look, "Go down, reflect on yourself at home!" ”
Qianhui straightened his waist and said, "Your Majesty, the minister was framed. Imagine why Qianxi can know that natural disasters are in front of him and hoard thousands of loads of grain, doesn't the emperor think it is extraordinary? ”
This is not bad, just ask who will save grain for a thousand loads, this is obviously a plan to hoard grain! Qianxi shook her head and waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine has no bad intentions, the concubine has a thousand loads of food, but the husband said in the letter, the military food is compact, and the concubine thinks that if the husband needs food in the future, a thousand loads of food can solve the husband's urgent need." ”
"You'll think about your husband." Emperor De's words have a profound meaning.
Qianxi sobbed: "The concubine grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she doesn't understand anything, but the concubine knows that people are iron, rice is steel, and she is hungry if she doesn't eat a meal." In the past, the concubine listened to the old man's teaching in the village, and the family should store food for emergencies, no matter whether it was good or bad, and the concubine always remembered it. Moreover, after the concubine married into the Ming family, the husband invited someone to teach the concubine some rules, obeying the father at home and marrying the husband. The concubine is useless, I don't know how to follow the husband, I only think that the husband is fighting outside, if the husband is hungry, I can send him a mouthful of food, so that he can eat well, and the concubine will be at ease! ”
Such a clumsy woman is just thinking about the most primitive things, how can such a person frame this thousand princes who have been passed on in the capital with their wisdom since childhood. Dedi said coldly: "Did you hear clearly? No more talk, step down! ”
At this moment, Qianhui had nothing to say, so he could only obediently obey the order and retreat. Emperor De said: "Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass, the palace also needs half a month before there is any grain in stock, and the two thousand catties of grain in your home are feasible to exchange land for grain." ”
"Ah, no, no, no, the emperor, that's the food that the concubine keeps for the big guys, and the concubine can't be exchanged with the emperor. Otherwise, give half of the concubine's body to the emperor! "Qianxi was very reluctant to give half of it, and he originally listened to half of Qianxi's refusal to give food, and Emperor De, who didn't like it in his heart, was still very satisfied with half of what Qianxi gave him." The emperor doesn't talk about exchanging land for grain, a thousand catties of grain is considered to be given to the emperor. The people suffered, and the concubine was also heartbroken, but the concubine was incompetent and could not save the people from fire and water, but when she was still in danger, she proposed this method of exchanging grain for land, and the concubine was already very guilty. If it weren't for the large population in the village, and the concubine still had two children to take care of, it would have given the two thousand catties of grain to the emperor, and the concubine could dig weeds and bark in the mountains to satisfy her hunger. Please also ask the emperor not to blame the concubine for being selfish. ”
