Chapter 109: Past Events I
"The nose is really smart." Huo Baichuan walked out from behind the screen, without anyone with him.
Zhao Shu thought that she heard that he was dead, and then spat blood, and her face burned in panic.
At this time, the main thing is to do it like before, the face is not red and the heart is not beating, and it is very calm, and it is considered to be exposed.
Big things have to wait for a while! She now refuses to discuss the relationship between children and daughters! Especially the matter of going to the island, she didn't want to know what kind of pressure and determination he was under at that time to bring herself to the island, she didn't want to know!
I don't want to know why I spit blood, I really don't want to know, I refuse to think about it!
In Zhao Shu's heart, when two people get along, they must take into account each other's feelings, if Huo Baichuan ignores her feelings and has to talk about that blood, she will treat him as if she doesn't know him in the future.
Huo Baichuan walked in front of her, smiling rather than smiling, and then said very annoyingly that Zhao Shu tried to hide the past, "I heard that you spit blood." β
"Well, I'm not in good health." Zhao Shu seemed to have nothing to do, and began to fiddle with the teacup, and the crisp sound of the tea lid touching the teacup sounded, which seemed to relieve the urge to grit her teeth a little.
Huo Baichuan nodded, looking very concerned, "Imperial Doctor Peng said that you are in a hurry, and young people are just too impulsive." β
"Well, you have learned a lesson, juniors will pay attention next time." Zhao Shu continued to look extremely calm, no different from usual, even the eyes were firm and indifferent.
"Good, you didn't wake up today, did you?" He suddenly changed the topic, his face came to Zhao Shu's eyes, and the two were close at hand.
He hadn't done this kind of thing once or twice, Zhao Shu retreated, "I only woke up today." "Beat her to death, she wouldn't admit that she woke up yesterday, and if she hadn't been in bed for too long, she would have wanted to lie down forever.
Huo Baichuan didn't expose it, but bowed his head, "I didn't have any dreams." β
"Yes, I dreamed of a ghost floating in the room." Zhao Shuxue smirked at him, "It's scary." Gritted her teeth and said, if it weren't for this neurosis, she would have nothing to do to run to her house to hurt the spring and autumn, as for her pretending to be faint to this day? Thinking about it, Zhao Shu became angry.
Huo Baichuan sat down, made himself a cup of tea, and took a sip, "Did the ghost say anything to you?" "For example, if I tell you, 'I can't bear to feel that you are sad, even if I know that I will break my plan and may really die, I will take you to the island' and so on.
Zhao Shu couldn't pretend anymore this time, so she kicked him, "How long are you going to pretend to be dead?" β
"Pretend to be until the crown prince ascends the throne." He said casually.
"What do you say?" Although she guessed his purpose, but pretending to be dead until the crown prince ascended the throne, it seems that it has been a long time, Emperor Mingde's body is still very tough, and he can't die when he is idle, and now the world is in chaos, and Emperor Mingde can't die casually, if he dies, Dayong will be divided into countless small pieces in an instant.
There are more than ten or twenty princes of light.
Huo Baichuan glanced at her, "You beg me, if you beg me, I'll sue you." β
"Childish." Zhao Shu glanced at him angrily, but he was drinking tea with an old god, looking like he didn't say anything if he didn't ask for it.
Zhao Shu took a deep breath, then calmed down the violence in her heart, and looked at him with a smirk, "I beg you, Uncle Huo, say it." β
"That's pretty much it." He flew a sensible look, and then said: "When the emperor checked Empress Yide, I had already planned, Yide returned to the palace, and I died." β
"Yide can hide in the people for so many years, and he is still making waves in the court and the harem, it can be seen that the person standing behind him is not an idle person, sure enough, a few days ago, my people found a secret gunpowder workshop, which is secretly making muskets and cannons, which are mixed with advanced technology from overseas, and the purpose is to kill me."
Zhao Shu knew all this, and when she heard this, she said, "Your life is really valuable." β
"There's no way, the nobles are naturally worth more." He had the right to praise Zhao Shu for praising him, "As long as I die, the emperor's change will be forced to run aground, but how can the emperor tolerate it?" Therefore, my death only forced the emperor to compromise again, anyway, he had failed Yide before, and it would not be a big deal to live up to it again. β
Emperor Mingde said that he wanted to change the law and innovate, but he had never done anything practical, most of them were done by the courtiers, to put it bluntly, he was successful in changing the law, he was the emperor of the prosperous world, and he shared most of the credit, if he did not succeed, the courtiers would bear the blame, and he was bewitched by the ministers.
How can there be a good thing in the world that is not earned? All the roads are let him go, others can only step on thorns, and even a thoughtful person can't bear it.
"Men don't have a good thing." Zhao Shu broke him and gave him a roll of his eyes.
"So, your father isn't a good thing, is he?" He changed his words and turned into a gentleman again.
Zhao Shu was angry, "Your father is not a good thing." β
"Okay, teasing you, do you want to see the emperor and Yide fight? You're smart enough to fake your illness. β
The change has reached the halfway point, if he stops rashly, the price that Emperor Mingde will have to pay is even greater, as long as he takes a step back, he will be forced into the abyss by the family, and there will be no recovery, and it will be difficult for him to make a move.
Zhao Shu received his praise, "Naturally, Yide has been calculating the emperor, and the emperor must have found out, I really want to see what his reaction is." β
However, from the other side, it also proves that Emperor Mingde's feelings for Yide are deeper than those of all the women in the harem combined.
"Hurry up and pack up and go back to Beijing, Yide has been on the road for two days, and you have to catch up with her, by the way, you don't know how Yide died." Huo Baichuan asked, he didn't enter the court before, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he has become an official in the court, he has investigated a lot of things over the years.
Zhao Shu was stunned, "What do you know?" β
"What are you going to trade with me?" His ruffian grin and uninhibited appearance made Zhao Shu want to punch him.
"Who knows rarely, and it's none of my business." Zhao Shu muttered and pointed to the window, "I'm going to rest, you go quickly, otherwise I'll shout rudeness." β
"Isn't that unusual? Don't want to hear about your mother? Huo Baichuan was not angry at all, but asked funny.
To be reasonable, if there is no conflict of interest with him, there is no need to compete, otherwise Zhao Shu will have to die countless brain cells, this person is too difficult.
"I'll check it myself." Zhao Shu said angrily.
"How do you check? You don't know how many people are watching your people, do you? I'll count it for you, the emperor's people, the princes' people, and Hao Guifei's people...... Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, how can you check? He also made a gesture of not knowing how to count, and then snapped his fingers.
Zhao Shu: ...... "Your people are not being monitored?" Can you find out, why can't I? β
"I have a dark line, a fine work that was cultivated at the age of three or four, do you have it? You may not know that the children of some families have been members of our family for generations, hey, you are still young, simple, hurry up, think about what to exchange. β
If you want to show your strength, just say it, and if you want to help, please say it directly, so that people who give benefits to others, but still make others hate, are rare in the world.
Zhao Shu pursed her lips, "I'll go back to Beijing and invite you to dinner?" β
"Okay, that's it, remember to do it yourself." He nodded, pulled out the hay from the jade belt mountain around his waist, shook it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Your father was a stunned young man when he was young. β
"Your dad is stunned!" Zhao Shu wanted to flip the table.
"Okay, okay." He pretended to be afraid of Zhao Shu, "Your father is not stunned, he is simple, cute and innocent, okay." β
"It's not a good word." Zhao Shu said coldly.
"To get back to the point, when your father was young, he was very kind, and he went out of the palace on a whim, and saw a tenant outside the capital, and the tenant family of seven or eight people, begged in a low voice, and asked for rent gradually, and then paid the rent in a few days, the landlord did not agree, and was stunned to rob the tenant's daughter to make a room, and your father saw it, and the sense of justice rushed to the sky."
Zhao Shu slapped her hand on the table, "Hey, pay attention to the words you use when you speak!" β
"Your father has compassion, mentioned that the tenant paid the rent, saved his daughter, how do you know that this woman has a voyeuristic heart for your father, this is a later story, first say your father, he went to many places, all the tenants have to pay rent beyond the scope of their ability, life is tight, and the court collects taxes, and every year is not collected, some officials use private punishment, the local people are miserable, your father began to change the law, the emperor is not a good thing, the emperor and Taizu have made a lot of preparations, until he can almost change the law, But he was too timid to dare, so he pleaded on your father. β
Hearing this, Zhao Shu understood that his father used to be raised according to the idle king, and it stands to reason that he will not know anything except eating, drinking, and having fun, and he is too well protected, so it is inevitable that he will be simple and naΓ―ve.
"Your father really lived up to his expectations and began to change the law, you think, there is no good opportunity, no one has to give advice, the emperor is only secretly fueling the troubles, and he will not stand up to be your father's backing at all, your father is simple, and he can't fight those old foxes at all, and the queen mother is in a hurry at this time."
The events of that year must have been extremely complicated, Zhao Shu pricked up her ears and listened.
Huo Baichuan obviously found out a lot of real content, and this time he said it as if chatting, which made Zhao Shu not so nervous.
"Yide and the emperor have known each other since childhood, playing the trick of a poor boy and a ******, when the emperor was still young, and often paid private visits, pretending to be the son of a traveling merchant or the son of a poor scholar......"
A long-ago story, coming slowly, like a documentary, unhurried replay.
At that time, Emperor Mingde was still young, still a child, young and vigorous, extremely conceited, he learned to pay a private visit to the emperor in the book, this time he pretended to be the son of a deceived traveling merchant, and he was penniless.
The capital under the rule of the first emperor was already extremely prosperous, he took the young Liang Yunsi, the two wandered in the streets, and after a short time they went out of the city and came to the fields of Qianmo, he looked very good, and had an excellent temperament, if he was not dressed too shabby, many people would have come forward to talk to him.
It was very hot, Emperor Mingde choked on saliva, Liang Yunsi knew that he was thirsty, so he found a farmer's house to ask for water to drink, Liang Yunsi knocked on the door, but it was a delicate little girl who came out to open the door.
Liang Yunsi swore that he had never seen such a beautiful little girl, and he was stunned at the moment, and Emperor Mingde also saw Yide, but he pretended to be calm, "It's abrupt, Xiaosheng passed by here and wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink." β
The little girl turned her head and told the maid to bring water to the two of them, "How did you find this place?" Yide asked.
Emperor Mingde drank the water, his eyes moved, he just walked casually, where did he know that this place could not lead to it, so he said: "My father was deceived, I have no money, the innkeeper drove me and my father out, my father went to help my uncles, I was hungry, and I had no money, so I thought that if I went out of the city, I could feel better if I couldn't see the food." β
Yide smiled, "Crooked, Xiao'er, bring him a bun." She instructed the maid, and then said to Emperor Mingde: "This is our family's Zhuangzi, you will come here when you are hungry in the future, I will let them give you food, by the way, what is your name?" My name is Ah Tilt. β
Or, it was Emperor Mingde who had clear eyebrows and outstanding temperament, and Yide stretched out a friendly hand.
"My name is Ziyi." At that time, he was not yet an emperor, so he casually said a name, and later this name became his character.
exchanged names, and since then, Emperor Mingde often pretends to be poor and sour to find Yide, and has achieved the love between childhood sweethearts and young people.
Yide did not dislike his cheap status as a traveling merchant, nor did he dislike his pennilessness, he still fell in love with him, which was too valuable for Emperor Mingde.
Speaking of this, Huo Baichuan explained, "Empress Yide's origin, the emperor has made modifications, if you check the file, you must not find anything, except for the name, it is all fake, in order to be able to posthumously crown her as the queen, the emperor raised her background." β
Zhao Shu nodded, indicating that she understood, to be able to elevate her birth to chase the queen, Emperor Mingde is actually infatuated, right, but everyone is dead, what's the use?
However, Yide is obviously no longer like the simple and kind Ah Tilt at the beginning.
"Later, the first emperor and the queen mother had a dislike, insisted on abolishing the queen, the queen mother took out the edict left by the ancestor to her, the first emperor compromised, and took the current emperor to live in the Bi Parade Palace, a residence is five years, during the five years, the current emperor and Yide privately agreed for life, five years later, the first emperor felt that the dragon body was not as good as the past, thinking about it left and right, I can't think of anyone who has the ability to assist the new emperor to stabilize the court, among his women, only the queen mother has this ability, and he returned to the palace."
The first emperor is not a good thing, Zhao Shu thought to herself.
"Later, the first emperor died, and now the emperor succeeded to the throne, the queen mother took great pains to help him stabilize the dynasty, and then it was the queen, the emperor wanted to establish Yide, I still can't find out what Yide's origin is, I'm afraid that only a few people in this world know her true origin."
He paused, "The Queen Mother disagreed with Li Yide, and said that Yi De could only be a concubine when he entered the palace." β
In fact, the concubine is not low, but how can Yide be willing? She's so beautiful and smart.
"Yide is reluctant to enter the palace, he would rather go to the rivers and lakes with a coat than enter the palace to be humiliated, the emperor chased out of the palace, once abandoned the government, it was the queen mother who worked hard to save the situation, these things were not known later, the emperor did not let them say, and women ruled the country, after all, it was not glorious, no one would mention it."
Zhao Shu heard this sentence and snorted coldly, "Women don't govern the country, where can they save the situation?" β
"I don't mean anything else." Huo Baichuan immediately explained, "The Queen Mother is actually very remarkable, if it weren't for those things that happened later and restrained her hands and feet, the current Queen Mother would not be like this." β
People will grow old after all, who can be shrewd and wise all their lives? Wu Zetian can be mediocre in his later years.
"The emperor recovered Yide, and she is pregnant." Huo Baichuan was afraid that Zhao Shu would worry about him again, so he hurriedly changed the topic, and continued the story just now. (To be continued.) )
