Chapter 129: Concubine Qiu's disdain
Yang Nianci was surprised: "Didn't you punish the two princes?" Isn't this thing in the past? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Nianci felt that something was wrong, yes, he punished the two princes, but none of the officials below who directly or indirectly caused the collapse of the river embankment did not move?
Sure enough, Old Man Yu sighed: "That's to punish the two princes for only arguing." Seeing that the New Year is approaching, each will play fifty, and wait for Ansheng to finish the New Year before settling the account. ”
Yang Nianci nodded: "The emperor is really kind-hearted, and he let those people have a reunion year." ”
A few people were speechless, and they were reunited again this year, and those people had ghosts in their hearts, and they couldn't live a good life. I don't know when the knife on the neck will fall, how good does it feel? The emperor probably sent someone to watch it secretly, just to see how they climbed and who else they could pull out.
"Then it has nothing to do with us, I think my grandfather and uncle are worried?"
A few people thought, sure enough, it was a woman in the house, and the affairs of the court affected her whole body, but as long as she knew that it had nothing to do with her family, she would no longer care.
If it was someone else, Old Man Yu was too lazy to say, Uncle Yu didn't have that habit, and Cousin Yu naturally wouldn't either, but this is Yang Nianci, Old Man Yu and Uncle Yu are willing to give her a solution. People care about themselves, the little padded jacket, the Yu family doesn't have it.
Xuanyuan was willing to tell her, but he actually didn't see things in the court as clearly as the two of them, and he was still in the learning stage, so he couldn't bear to speak.
Uncle Yu glanced at his father, coughed and explained: "The river embankment and waterway are under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and if something goes wrong, it is naturally the Ministry of Industry that bears the brunt." When the emperor frees his hand, I am afraid that there will be a big change in the Ministry of Industry..."
Uncle Yu pointed at himself.
Yang Nianci blinked, and suddenly realized: "Yes, uncle, you are from the Ministry of Industry." ”
Yu Qihong looked at her, wouldn't her cousin never know which yamen her father was in?
"Uncle, are you saying that the emperor will use you with a knife? No, isn't there still your Shangfeng Shangshu-sama? ”
Uncle Yu smiled bitterly: "It shouldn't be." He raised his hand and bowed: "Thank you for reminding us, our family should donate silver first, and the saint praised and gave the word." It's just that the rest of the Ministry of Industry doesn't know. Hey..."
There are a few colleagues in the Ministry of Industry who get along well on weekdays, I wonder if they will be affected? It's obviously ...
"What did your uncle's boss say?"
Uncle Yu was stunned: "Lord Shangshu? Lord Yuan Shangshu resigned and returned to his hometown after the beginning of spring last year. Since then, the position of Shangshu has been vacant. ”
Yang Nianci frowned: "So coincidental? ”
Uncle Yu said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu's mother is old and frail, and her spirit is not as good as before, and she wants to go back to her hometown. Lord Shangshu served his mother to filial piety, so he handed over his son to resign and return to his hometown with his mother. At that time, the emperor also praised Lord Shangshu's pure filial piety and allowed him to be honored. However, Lord Shangshu's mother is nearly eighty, and she has a spring and autumn period herself, so I only caught up to bid farewell to my adult after I came to Beijing. Lord Shangshu also lamented that he was not mentally strong enough to be loyal to the king. Hey, my return to Beijing was arranged by Lord Shangshu, but I didn't expect to have to come back to see him off. Otherwise, I can still wait for adults in Jiangnan. ”
Yang Nianci heard something else: "Uncle, you have a lot to do with Lord Shangshu." ”
Old Man Yu smiled: "Grandpa is a good friend of Lord Shangshu, and your uncle has been taken care of by Lord Shangshu since he entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry." His stinky temper is all for the fate of adults. ”
Yang Nianci smiled: "Yes, thanks to Lord Shangshu for calling my uncle back, otherwise my uncle will stay in Jiangnan, and this big water will break out, whether it has anything to do with it or not, my uncle will inevitably be implicated." ”
A few people sighed in their hearts, could it be that there is really something in this?
Xuanyuan looked at Yang Nianci, what did this woman bump into blindly?
Yang Nianci just said it according to her feelings, but she really didn't have any political enthusiasm, and after speaking, she opened her eyes: "So, uncle has a chance to be promoted?" ”
Uncle Yu smiled bitterly, he was still promoted, it was good not to be demoted and fined, and he only wanted to protect himself.
Old Man Yu touched his beard and shook his head: "Under the wrath of thunder, it's difficult!" Difficult! Difficult! ”
Yang Nianci sighed: "There is really no chance? ”
Yu Qihong was very amused to see his cousin's wrinkled face, and said impulsively: "If my father can have a way to solve this kind of disaster, maybe it will be true." ”
Yang Nianci was dumbfounded, how to solve it? This time, the handling method saved a lot of people in time, but this is the result of the cooperation of many people.
Uncle Yu coughed: "Okay, let's not talk about it, how is Jun'er's errand?" ”
Xuanyuan only smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I don't have anything there." If you are not satisfied, just lie down. ”
Several people laughed when they saw him say a relaxed joke.
It's just that Yang Nianci didn't pay attention to him, and he still wrinkled his little face and thought hard, what should I do?
Xuanyuan couldn't help but be angry, don't you give your man a cheer?
"What do you think?"
"How do you want to kill Qiu Xiang."
Several people feel a toothache, how did Qiu Xiang offend you?
At that time, Qiu Xiang didn't know that he was inexplicably thinking about being killed. The granddaughter had to be accompanied back to her parents' house by the king, and he opened the middle door to welcome him in person. After greeting each other, the lady and daughter-in-law took their granddaughter into the inner courtyard, and he led King Duan to the study. The two analysed the current situation.
King Duan gritted his teeth: "It's so shameless!" He fabricated so many false testimonies to slander this king. ”
Qiu Xiang frowned and said: "We all know that it is a false testimony, and King Ping knows it even more, so why do you still take it out?" ”
Duanwang's eyebrows tightened.
"Alas, King Ping did this on purpose, whether it was true or not, he insisted that we were the ones who destroyed those people, just to make the old man feel guilty. He wants to lose both, even if he is punished and surrendered, he has to pull you together. ”
King Duan gritted his teeth: "This scoundrel." ”
From the very beginning of the layout, they were careful not to leave a trace of horseshoe, how could King Ping find out so many human and material evidence? Who knew that this guy actually played this hand? Sure enough, shameless.
"What does Master Taishi say?"
Xu Taishi is old, although he still has the title, but he has not been in court for a long time, and he only makes ideas behind the scenes. Moreover, the connections and prestige accumulated over the years are the most beneficial capital for Duanwang.
King Duan said sullenly: "Grandpa said, let's do it and see." ”
King Ping bites people like a mad dog this time, which is different from the previous way, I am afraid that he knows that if he is succeeded by his brother this time, he is afraid that he will never have a chance.
Qiu Xiang sighed: "That's it." Even if our predictions don't come true, the worst outcome will be to maintain the status quo. ”
Anyway, you have nothing to lose to the prince.
Duan Wang smiled on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, if it was Duan Xiang, he would definitely come up with an unexpected good idea.
There was a knock on the door, and King Duan's attendant came to report: The palace is here, please.
King Duan was a little surprised, the attendant said something in a low voice, King Duan was taken aback, got up and said, "This king will go to the palace once, and then come to pick up the side concubine." ”
Qiu Xiang immediately sent people out, twisting his beard and guessing that it should not be the emperor's call. Looking at the person's evasive appearance, should there be something wrong with Xu Guifei? Shaking his head, he hurried into the inner courtyard.
Qiu Xiang entered the main courtyard, and there were large and small masters sitting in the outer hall, chatting lively.
Qiu Xiang coughed.
Old Madam Qiu immediately said: "It's better for the big guys to go to the Ziyan Hall first, it is spacious and warm, and we will have a banquet later." ”
Everyone knew that this was to clear the venue, so they got up and saluted, and left gracefully and quickly.
For a while, only Qiu Xiang and his wife and Uncle Qiu and Concubine Qiu were left in the house.
Old Madam Qiu's personal maid also went out with all the subordinates, and she personally stood by the door. On the other side is the eldest maid of Concubine Qiu.
Qiu Xiang stopped his granddaughter from saluting again, and immediately asked, "Tell me about the situation in the palace." ”
Concubine Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then told the bottom of the big and small things she felt she could say and should say, knowing that her grandfather was her real backer, at least she had to rely on her grandfather's planning before she came out, Concubine Qiu didn't dare or wanted to hide it, and focused on Princess Liu and Concubine Duan.
Speaking bluntly, her mouth was dry, and Concubine Qiu stopped and took a sip of the teacup.
Qiu Xiangsi thought for a long time and said: "The princess is not easy to deal with." Listening to you, King Duan loves her very much. However, it does not matter to us, you will still follow the princess in the future. ”
Concubine Qiu nodded, originally Princess Liu was chosen by the prince's grandfather and concubine, and she got the emperor's approval, and now she is even more looking at the princess and taking her to heart, she is stupid to go against the princess. Oh, yes, what a fool!
Thinking of this, I heard my grandfather ask in a tangled way: "That side concubine is really as you said?" ”
Why doesn't it sound like a daughter surnamed Duan? The means are really... Not good.
Concubine Qiu couldn't help but contempt: "I haven't seen it before, but now I can see it really, not because of her mother's background." ”
Now at this juncture, I don't think about how to help the prince get his wish, I only rob men to compete for favor every day, and I can do whatever I want, which is really taught by her mother. She had long seen that although the prince went to her courtyard a lot, he really didn't say anything useful to her. Concubine Qiu was disdainful in her heart, your father is still Duan Xiang, and he doesn't know how to take advantage of this.
Duan Si was really wronged, she thought about it, but unfortunately Duan Xiang didn't obey.
Qiu Xiang also smiled contemptuously: "The surname Duan has raised a good daughter." Saying that, he couldn't help frowning: "Why didn't the surnamed Duan teach her?" ”
Concubine Qiu couldn't figure it out. Although they are on the side, they are only half a head shorter than the main concubine, which is different from those concubines who only serve in Israel. Their status depends more on the power and ability of their mother's family, so to speak, if their mother's family is reused, they will naturally be able to sit firmly in this position without doing anything. If your mother's family falls, unless the man is confused and dazed, no matter how you end up, you have to hand over this chair, and there are "capable" people living in it.
Therefore, Concubine Qiu was puzzled, why did Duan Si work so hard to rob and intercept people?
Mrs. Qiu, who had not spoken, said quietly: "In case Concubine Duan gives birth to the eldest son of the prince..."
You must know that King Duan doesn't have a son now, the former princess only gave birth to a daughter and went, and now she is naturally raised under the knees of Princess Liu, and there is nothing else to go out except for the little princess.
Concubine Qiu's heart tightened, and her fingers tightened the veil. (To be continued.) )
