Chapter 468: Decision
", Gonggong Zheng! , Although Xia Xun deliberately concealed it, he still showed a surprised look. Chinese Net
Zheng He smiled slightly and said: "The Duke of Fuguo has saved his life several times to the emperor's family, and the mother has always remembered it. It's just that now it's not as good as it was at the beginning, if the mother holds a banquet specifically to repay the country, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary discussions among the government and the opposition. Today, on Chinese New Year's Eve, His Royal Highness happened to talk to the maiden that the Duke of Dingguo wanted to invite the Duke of Fuguo, and I was sent by the Mother to borrow the wine of the Duke of Dingguo to repay the Duke of Fuguo. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is all within the courtier's responsibility, and the mother loves it."
Xia Xun repaid with a mouthful, and already understood in his heart that the empress was paying attention to the prince of Chinese New Year's Eve, and sending Zheng He today was not to repay any life-saving grace, obviously to win herself over and serve the prince of Chinese New Year's Eve. Even if it wasn't for this reason, it was to remind yourself to stay out of the matter and not to be used by the second prince.
Everyone sat down, although today is a family banquet, there is no need to divide the upper and lower levels, but who can take the lead in front of Zhu Gaochi. After a few humble concessions, he still let Zhu Gaochi sit on the top, Xia Xun and Xu Jingchang left and right, and went down in turn, that is, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xie Jin and other officials, Zheng He is naturally at the bottom, don't look at his reputation in later generations, in front of these courtiers, now his rank is obviously the lowest.
Zhu Gaoji was very kind to Xia Xun, and he really did not make a show, but between the words, he still revealed the meaning of solicitation, but it had to be more roundabout and subtle, like "the country is just in the prime of life, and there will be achievements in the Chinese New Year's Eve in the future, and it can make more Chinese New Year's Eve merits for the imperial court", the words are faintly full of the meaning of solicitation and once he becomes the prince, he will make a wish to him as an official, but the words are very smooth, even if it is publicized, it is also the prince's praise and praise for the important ministers in the court, so that people can't find anything wrong.
Xia Xun's originally nervous state of mind inevitably relaxed, Zhu Gaochi was so subtle and didn't put the problem on the table, he would not be forced to appear on the spot, and he could also use some sleek diplomatic words to deal with it. However, Zheng He's presentation still gave him the shock of the past night.
With Queen Xu's temperament and nature, she obviously prefers this calm, honest and honest eldest son, plus during the four years of Jingnan, the mother and son shared weal and woe in Beiping, so it is normal to dote on Zhu Gaochi more. However, the empress sent Zheng He, clearly representing her heart, obviously, she not only emotionally favored the eldest son, but also in action, in the position of fighting for tomorrow, she has clearly stood on the side of her son on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xia Xun is very clear about the position of Empress Xu in Zhu Di's heart, Empress Xu is to Emperor Yongle, just like Empress Ma is to Emperor Hongwu, her influence is very Chinese New Year's Eve, although she is forced to do not interfere in politics in the harem, Empress Xu is not good enough to clearly confess her position to the emperor, and Zhu Di cannot ignore the queen's opinion.
What about Daoyan? In addition to Empress Xu, the one who has the Chinese New Year's Eve most influence on the emperor is the Buddhist monk who is also a teacher and friend in the emperor's heart, if he also stands on Zhu Gaochi..., in view of this, Xia Xun is not good enough to clearly dissect that he wants to stay out of the matter, and his attitude is a little ambiguous.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Jingchang ordered the maiko at home to sing and dance to help the wine, and after watching a song and dance, Xia Xun was a little anxious, so he confessed to Zhu Gaochi, got up and was accompanied by his family to go to the toilet. As soon as Xia Xun left, Xu Jingchang leaned into Zhu Gaochi's ear and whispered: "Cousin, Fu Guogong has a warm attitude and has always refused to support it openly, this..."
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly, and replied: "Jingchang, don't worry, the Duke of Fuguo is already a very popular minister, and I am just a prince now, there is nothing to seal him, and there is no reward for him, it is commendable that he can have such an attitude." If today's meal can make him hesitate a little and not throw himself into the arms of his second brother, it will be enough! ”
Xu Jingchang saw that Zhu Gaochi looked at ease, and he was not in a hurry to take the episode seriously, so he had to stop helplessly.
Politically, although he has the experience of grinding gravel after a long time, there are some things that are also talented, and Zhu Gaozhi is a person with great political talent. He knew that he was not very liked by his father, and if he co-opted the courtiers too much, it would be self-defeating to provoke his father's backlash. He is the eldest son of the emperor, with a congenital advantage, and his mother's doting, as long as there is no fault in the Chinese New Year's Eve, his father will not be able to treat him well.
Therefore, what he wants to strive for is to let the courtiers connect with neutrality, which is also easy to be accepted by the courtiers, and can do twice the result with half the effort.
Speaking from the heart, Zhu Gaochi is indeed calm and honest by nature, but honesty does not mean that there is no hope, no temper, and no scheming. He has always been cautious, honoring his parents and loving his brothers, but his father favors his second brother and treats him despicably. No matter how hard he worked and how hard he worked, he was never favored by his father, and he had no grievances.
He is the son of the world, and the crown prince should have been his, but now his father has not established a crown prince for a long time, which has made the courtiers talk a lot, and many people are looking at the second brother, putting him in an embarrassing situation, making people criticize and sneer, how can he not be angry. But he knew that his advantage was the natural identity of the emperor's eldest son, and his disadvantage was that he did not have the preference of his father.
Therefore, he can't refrain from being as unscrupulous as his second brother, and he can't help himself from using red and ruoluo means to entrap the ministers like his second brother, Zhu Gaoxu can do the same thing, but he, the elder brother, can't do it. He can only let the balance of victory tilt towards him little by little, between not being arrogant, not being impatient, and not being civilized.
However, Xu Jingchang is so enthusiastic, Zhu Gaoji is still very moved, he has no influence among the military ministers for many Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Fu is barely one, Xu Jingchang is one, but these two people are from their father's position, and they have no influence in the army at the moment, which is why he rarely met publicly and tried his best to put pressure on Xia Xun.
Xia Xun seems to be involved in every aspect, and he is not deeply involved in any aspect, but now he has Shuangyuwei, which is used as a bridgehead and began his first step in the military world. He's still young, and who knows how far he'll be going in five or ten years? Those veterans who led the troops had a love for their second brother, and if they couldn't win it, he could only attack Xia Xun now, afraid of his father's majesty, and his means must be gentle.
He wasn't easy, either.
He patted Xu Jingchang on the shoulder, leaned over, and smiled: "There are some things, just click on it, it's too much!" ”
“! Guogong! ”
Xia Xun came back and happened to bump into the county lord of Ming'er.
It's a coincidence that Xu Jingchang is feasting in the atrium, and the ladies live in the back house.
Xia Xun wants to see Ming'er and is afraid to see it, after kissing her on the bridge last time, he often can't help but think of her, it stands to reason that he is not the first brother in love, I don't know how much things have passed, and I don't forget it because of the girl's kiss, but this girl moved his love thread.
However, this thought was awakened by Zhu Di's words. Yes, the county lord may really like him, but as the county lord, how can he let another woman share his wife's honor and status with her. Xia Xun's heart was cold, and the illusion that he didn't dare to let it sprout was completely shattered, and he was even more unhappy with Ming'er's arrogant request.
Seeing Ming'er's presentation, Xia Xun was stunned at first, his face turned cold, he arched his hand, and said stiffly: "County Lord!" ”
Ming'er was very happy, her long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, and she had to stay with her sweetheart for a long time, and that joy filled her body and mind, so that she, who had always been alert, ignored the indifference on Xia Xun's face. She happily stepped forward and said, "I,." "I knew that Jingchang invited someone to eat and drink today, but I didn't know that I would come!" Waving to the servant, the servant hurriedly left.
Xia Xun smiled faintly and said, "Is there anything else to do with the county lord, if there is nothing to do, Yang will go back to the table." ”
Ming'er was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that something was wrong, she looked at Xia Xun's face, and asked anxiously, "Angry?" ”
Xia Xun said coldly: "Am I not angry? ”
Ming'er's eyes were a little confused: "Who made the anger?" ”
Xia Xun said: "Why should the county lord ask knowingly! ”
"Huh?"
Ming'er furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and said in surprise: "It's better to be", it's me, right? ”
Xia Xun said coldly: "Chengmen G County Lord loves, Yang Xu is not a hard-hearted person, how can he not notice anything?" However, when they met late, Yang already had a wife. Moreover, Yang refused to be the wolf-hearted man, and degraded his wife to a concubine, just to marry the county lord. The county lord is noble, Yang Xu is ashamed of himself, and he can't afford to climb it! ”
Ming'er couldn't believe her ears, and asked deliciously, ". "In what?"
Xia Xun flicked his sleeves and walked away, the sleeves with a breeze blowing on Ming'er's body, but like a hammer, it broke her heart at once. Ming'er's mouth turned white, and she suddenly shouted: "Yang Xu, stop for me!" ”
Xia Xun stopped, didn't look back, just asked coldly, "What else does the county lord have to say?" Ming'er walked over step by step, walked in front of him, looked at him face to face, and a pair of eyes glistened with tears on the door:",. "Do I think I am noble? ,。 "I forced my wife to be a concubine?"
Her body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads: "Yang Xu, in my eyes, am I Xu Miaojin so unbearable?" Yes, this is my own doing, who told me to despise myself! I deserve it! ”
The crystal tears fell on her chest one by one, like a needle piercing Xia Xun's heart, shocked and frightened, remembering all kinds of things since she met Ming'er, her nature, her personality". Xia Xun suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake every Chinese New Year's Eve: "Mo Fei,." "Could it be that ...... didn't you propose it to the emperor?"
Ming'er raised her chin and said stubbornly, "Who isn't?" That's what I mentioned! ”
Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said: "County Lord, don't be surprised" "When I heard it at that time, I was very angry in my heart, and I was dizzy for a while, and I didn't think much about it. ”””
Ming'er intercepted: "So, I, Xu Miaojin, have become such a filthy woman in my heart, right?" Yes, I think of myself as noble! This nobility is not the family background given to me by my father! It's not the status of the Zhongshan Palace! This nobility is the upbringing of a girl's family! Although Xu Miaojin is naughty and naughty, she also inherits the rules of her family education! Since I was five years old, I have had two nurturing grandmothers who teach me every day what a girl can and can't do! Since I was twelve years old, I have been in the palace every day to receive the teachings of female officials, learn to behave and know shame, and to know the law! ”
She became more and more sad, tears rolled down her eyes, and she choked up: "This nobility is the pride and reserve, fame and innocence of a girl's family!" But for the sake of all this, I have lost my arms, and I have taken the dignity and pride of a girl's family as cheap as dust, just for Bo's pleasure, in exchange for such a contempt? Yang Xu, good! Good not a tool! ”
She raised her palm, slapped Xia Xun in the face, and Xia Xun was stunned.
"I hate, I hate for the rest of my life!" Ming'er choked back her tears, and rushed away.
Xia Xun stood there in a daze, and a little bit of alcohol was awakened. Looking at Ming'er who was crying away, he didn't even have the courage to catch up.
In Kunning Palace, Empress Xu had two Chinese New Year's Eve. My sister was in tears, and she felt distressed when she looked at it. She is also kind enough to plan for her sister's life, who knows,... Will it get to this point? Last night, I was complained by my husband, and this is the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, and my sister came out again.
Empress Xu coaxed her sister and said, "Ming'er, don't cry." It's my sister who is wrong, my sister,. "I wanted to make the marriage beautiful, so as to save people from worrying about their teeth, but my sister was not good, and ......I was dizzy for a while."
"It's okay with my sister! I know my sister is for me",
Ming'er snorted and replied, "I hate that bastard!" He is self-righteous! He thinks people wrong! He has been in the Chinese New Year's Eve! He has no conscience! ”
Listening to her sister's childish words, Queen Xu couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh, this girl was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if she laughed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Queen Xu hurriedly persuaded her sister: "Yes, yes, Yang Xu is not a tool, he doesn't know how to lift, let's not see him in general, this matter is also my sister's thoughtlessness, turn around and let my brother-in-law go to Hehe, see if there is any aftermath of maneuvering", "
"Whirling about what?"
Ming'er Huo Di raised her head and said resolutely: "I, Xu Miaojin, just can't get married, and I don't have the slightest relationship with him!" Don't talk about him to me again! ”
Queen Xu hurriedly changed her words again: "Okay, well, that sister will help choose a good husband who is satisfactory, and her character and appearance will surpass him Yang Xu by a hundred times!" ”
Ming'er shook her head and said, "I don't want to, I don't want to stay in Jinling anymore." ”
Empress Xu panicked and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Ming'er was sad, and said quietly: "Sister, I want to go to Fengyang, arrive, return to the garden, and stay for a while." ”
Empress Xu breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "It's okay, go out for a walk, turn around, I'll ask Jingchang to send it." ”
