326 Breaking into the tent and catching the adulterer
ββ¦β¦ I also forgot, compared to the Mingzhou Lou family, even if I have a high title, I am still from a small family. Looking at the scenery in the court, there is no half-foundation. β
Ji Qingchen smiled,
"After all these years, Vice Minister Wang finally needs me?"
She didn't plan to answer the letter at all, so she directly asked Zuo Ping to take it back and throw it back to Wang Shiqiang.
"Mrs. Guo, what my lord means, he is now thirty-two, and his heart is tired, and he doesn't want to find a wife of a small family. He just felt that it was not the fault of Mr. Lou and Miss Lou that they were not married with the same surname, so they would just let them go. This is also his conjugal affection for the original wife. β
Zuo Ping's words seemed to be reasonable, and he casually hinted that Lou Yun and Lou Luanpei were not together because their feelings were not in place.
It's just that they all have the surname Lou.
Ji Qingchen scoffed.
Even if she wants Lou Yun to get out, she will never let Lou Luanpei take advantage.
She's still like that. What's more, it's the cautious Wang Shiqiang?
"I was amazed. I heard that Vice Minister Wang hasn't stepped into the main house in the past seven or eight years, and I am ashamed of my ability to hold grudges in my heart. β
Zuo Ping naturally wanted to explain to Wang Shiqiang, but he didn't expect the sound of footsteps outside, but it was Lou Yun who secretly got the news and knew that Wang Shiqiang's henchmen came to see her.
He immediately came to the tent to catch the scene.
How could she not hear her husband's footsteps? Subconsciously snatched the letter from Zuo Ping's hand.
She tore Wang Shiqiang's letter to shreds and stuffed it directly under the pillow next to the couch......
Lou Yun opened the door. I saw her scrambled look.
and Zuo Ping was stunned and couldn't cry or laugh.
"What are you hiding?"
He was annoyed, but there was still Li Molan in this tent that Ji Qingchen had hurriedly summoned in the past few days.
The eldest lady of the Li family was wearing half a pair of leather armor, and she looked at him expressionlessly with her short sword in her hand. If it weren't for that, Lou Yun felt that he would definitely not be able to control his instincts.
His knee-jerk reaction should have been to pull his wife away, remove the pillow, and turn out the evidence that she was out of the wall.
"Something?"
Ji Qingchen calmly turned his eyes to look at him.
Because of her weak heart, she was ready to quarrel with Lou Yun again.
If he dares to say that he will leave, she will dare to say that she has always remembered Chen Wenchang, and she regrets deliberately angry with him by retiring from the Chen family.
Wang Shiqiang is too ruthless.
She and she will not consider him if she leaves.
However, there is no quarrel yet. Zhao Duanning sent the cabinet officials and summoned her to the imperial tent.
Lou Yun's face changed slightly, and he only whispered a few words to her in a hurry.
"Don't say yes. I have something to say to you. β
Ji Qingchen arrived at the imperial tent. Only then did I know that Xijing City was captured, and Wang Shiqiang had already sent an edict to lead the army to encircle Bianliang.
"Lou Qing is guarding Jeju, and Mrs. Guo will go to Bianliang with me."
Lou Yun asked her not to agree, but Ji Qingchen didn't agree.
The official family handed over the back road to Lou Yun. lest the armies of Shandong be unstable. Lack of food, grass, and ordnance.
The imperial army was opened, and the hostage Ji Qingchen followed the official family to Bianliang.
It's useless for her to make trouble now.
Zhao Duanning felt that Lou Yun had no intention of taking a concubine after being subjected to domestic violence like this, and this hostage was enough.
At the same time, Wang Shiqiang's army on the West Road had already entered Henan.
The two armies came to the aid of Bianliang, and the old capital was besieged.
After the Jingkang Change, the Han ministers and Han people in Bianliang City did not have much loyalty to the Zhao official family.
But I saw that the army was overwhelmed. Many people are shaken in their hearts, and they secretly have plans to sacrifice the city after killing the Jurchen Shangguan.
Success is just around the corner......
There was news in the capital again, and Mr. Lou came forward to agree to the reconciliation of his daughter and Vice President Wang.
Outside Bianliang City, Zhao Duanning summoned Wang Shiqiang in the imperial camp.
Originally, this matter was a little unkind, and Wang Shiqiang was the hero of Zhao Duanning's accession to the throne, and the official family also made plans in their hearts to have a heart-to-heart night talk with Wang Shiqiang.
Unexpectedly, he just hinted here:
Mingzhou Lou's family is Chen Wang's line, and he took the risk to come to the imperial expedition in order to prevent Chen Wang's family from going through the Northern Expedition.
Wang Shiqiang said that he would listen to the arrangement of the official family and divorce when he went home.
After being overjoyed, Zhao Duanning's mental pressure was significantly reduced.
If the Northern Expedition can succeed, the unified army of the east and west will not be traitors, and he will be the lord of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty.
Things are too smooth, and it doesn't feel like it's unsteady like a dream, but this is easily covered up by the hundreds of thousands of Song camp troops outside Bianliang City.
There are already courtiers in the capital who are going to give Zhao Duanning the titles of emperors such as Shangtian, Hong, Sheng, Ren, and Rui.
He sat in the tent, wearing a red dragon robe and a white jade crown, dressed up in a fancy way, and looked happy.
Imperial tent incense, except for the eight cabinet officials who drove to the court in the capital and the Northern Expedition in the military office, Zhao Duanning's side has always been pure, and there are no favorite concubines and beauties who accompany him.
Thinking about Zhao Duanning's only benefit, and thinking about Lou Yun's bastard, Ji Qingchen felt that it was good to come and talk to him.
Li Quan also honestly drove in the imperial camp, looking very obedient.
Even she thinks that maybe things will go well?
"Sit."
Zhao Duanning gave Ji Qingchen a seat, and looked at her appearance of changing into a bright Song costume every day.
The royal gift of the riding costume is a high-grade Shu brocade tailoring, her azure long skirt has a waist slit, hot embroidered gold, and countless layers of peony dark pattern snow Luo skirt are exposed in the skirt when she walks.
A small face with goose eggs on the snow bead jade plate buckle stand-up collar, beautiful eyes.
She gave a gift of gratitude, her hair was delicate and shiny on the top of her head, and she hung a pheasant and a golden hairpin.
He sipped his tea and said with a smile:
"Horseback riding again?"
"Yes, when I was in Tang Fang before, there were only boats and no horses. When I arrived in the capital and pampered myself, I had a rare opportunity to ride for a few days, and when the royal car entered the city, the world was stable, and the concubines were afraid that they would never have a chance in the future. β
Zhao Duanning laughed, of course he never got tired of hearing such sycophants.
Ji Qingchen would never say it without a long eye. Before leaving, Lou Yun came to discuss with her, and wanted to go to the official family to ask for a few beauties to be concubines, so that she would not drive to Bianliang.
She didn't even let him in the tent door. Packed up and left.
But from then on, she never left the horse, and the horse never left the person.
Recently, she still regretted a little that she shouldn't have taken her life to say goodbye to Lou Yun, so she tried everything to please Zhao Duanning at any time.
"When I was in Jeju a few days ago, Bachelor Lou was kicked out by you and lived next to Chen Shanchang. I still thought that they had a good relationship, but then I remembered that Chen Shanchang was engaged to Mrs. Guo before? Lou Xianggong, is this afraid that Chen Shanchang will have an old relationship with you? β
No wonder Lou Yun didn't have the heart to accept concubines at all. Just prevent his wife from going out of the wall.
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Qingchen deeply felt that the gossip nature of the gentleman in Zhao Duanning's bones was really annoying.
He called her, just gossip?
"Since Chen Shanchang and Lou Xianggong have a relationship, how about Mrs. Guo come forward to lobby for me?"
Zhao Duanning didn't feel that he was annoying at all.
"Mr. Gan is a veteran minister. He took a fancy to Chen Shanchang, his nephew and son-in-law, and I couldn't help but come forward. But Chen Shanchang is really shrewd in family affairs......"
Chen Wenchang also arrived in Bianliang City, but he was sent to Xuzhou two days ago to urge grain and grass.
Ji Qingchen didn't hold his breath for a while, and blurted out:
"The official family, Mr. Gan governs the knowledge used by the world, and Chen Shan Changzhi governs the knowledge of heaven and human desire, and the official family only tells Mr. Gan that if he is willing to worship Sun Yushi's door. Chen Shanchang will be able to go to Tagan Mansion tomorrow to be hired. β
If it weren't for Zhao Duanning to let Wang Shiqiang reconcile. Can she and Lou Yun quarrel and separate?
"Presumptuous!"
Facing Zhao Duanning's dark and gloomy face, Ji Qingchen immediately regretted it.
She's not in a good mood today. Because yesterday when Wang Shiqiang left the imperial camp and returned to the west camp, he asked Zuo Ping to hand her a message.
Lou Yun was in Jeju, and he really didn't write a letter to go home and make any sense of taking Lou Luanpei back to the bachelor's mansion.
But he directly communicated with the Qi brothers in the East Route Army, and as a result, Mrs. Qi of Mingzhou came forward to discuss the matter with the boss of the Gonggong Building.
That's why Mr. Lou went to the capital.
She was still trying to find a way to get Wang Shiqiang not to divorce, and Lou Yun felt that Lou Luanpei was ruthless in marrying a white eye, so it was better to leave quickly.
She was about to explode, but the initiator Zhao Duanning was still chattering crookedly in front of her.
She could only stand up, and was about to plead guilty on the ground, when Zhao Duanning frowned and waved the female officials away.
"Mingzhou Lou's family, Lou Xianggong mentioned it to you?"
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Qingchen knew very well that Zhao Duanning's decision to let Wang Shiqiang and leave was completely to suppress the Chinese courtiers of the Mingzhou Lou family.
Just like after Zhao Duanning ascended the throne, she finally understood:
That time, she was impeached after returning from Sichuan, not just because Lou Luanpei wanted to warn Wang Shiqiang, but because the promoted officials of Yan Shufei's family were giving her a dismissal.
The Mingzhou Lou family, like the Yan family from which Concubine Yan was born, is a scholarly family and has been married for generations.
"The Mingzhou Lou family crossed south with Gaozong, and now it has been a hundred years, in addition to being a three-generation assassin in Mingzhou, and also marrying the old clan in the capital. Vice Prime Minister Wang's wife is Concubine Yan Shu's niece, and she can be regarded as King Chen's cousin. In order to have a beginning and an end with Vice Wang, I naturally have to choose another wife for him. What does Mrs. Guo think of me? β
When Zhao Duanning said this, his eyes looking at her had darkened.
ββ¦β¦ The official family is sacred. β
Ji Qingchen could only answer this sentence.
When Wang Shiqiang left, if she persuaded him not to divorce, she must have let Zhao Duanning know.
Hearing her so interesting, his originally cold expression moved slightly, and he finally laughed.
"Okay, you should be repaid your favor. When you were in Wu Shun's mansion, didn't you also draw Mrs. Wang's villain, and wrote her birthday eight-character curse when she was robbed of her husband? β
ββ¦β¦β
Because of her unhappy face, Zhao Duanning laughed and waved her out of the imperial tent.
"Don't worry, you and Vice Prime Minister Wang have a private meeting in my camp, and I won't sue SΓΉ Lou Qing."
ββ¦β¦β
She returned to her tent on the front foot, and on the back foot, the eunuch sent a few boxes of rare treasures, saying that they were rewarded by the officials.
So she understood, as Wang Shiqiang expected:
In Zhao Duanning's mind, her Ji family is far from being a family with a foundation.
Although her two younger brothers are outstanding, one is a servant and the other is a gang leader, and his life in the Great Song Dynasty is shallow.
The grade of her lady of the country can be taken off by the official family with a word.
Although the business of the Taicang workshop is large, it needs to cooperate with the official workshop under the name of the Ministry of Industry to make ordnance.
As for Lou Luanpei, she instigated an impeachment when she left her relatives, and most of the three rounds of examiners in Wang Shiqiang's selection were relatives and friends.
Counting the kinship, she can still be related to Zhao Duanning, and she is King Chen's close cousin.
Compared with the Ji family and Empress Xie, the Mingzhou Lou family is the descendant of Chen Wangfu.
Zhao Duanning guarded Lou Yun, it was not unreasonable.
If Wang Shiqiang really told Zhao Duanning that he wanted to divorce Lou Luanpei and marry her, Zhao Duanning would really agree if he couldn't figure it out. (To be continued......)
