322 Old Stories of Wu Palace
Ji Qingchen knew that just Chen Wenchang's persuasion, it was impossible for the official family to decide whether to take the imperial expedition or not.
She naturally looked for Zhao Deyuan and found out about the respected elders in the clan.
She will not come forward herself, anyway, there are relatives like Wang Shiliang who are officials lobbying around with the same interests.
The news of the official family's personal expedition gradually became a hot topic in the capital.
The poor relatives of the queen's family still had to come to send a concubine, and before she could figure out how to cry to Zhao Duanning, a decree was passed in the palace and asked her to go to Yanhe Hall to see His Majesty.
"This is An Bing's recital."
Zhao Duanning had no expression on his face, and waved his sleeves to rebuke the female officer.
He was more familiar than Zhao Kuo, and he didn't say much, so he directly threw a notebook at her feet.
"It's impossible for An Bing not to tell you about the private workshop in the southwest. What do you want to tell me about this? ”
“……”
Ji Qingchen froze, secretly hating Wang Shiqiang for not blocking the news.
If the official family in front of her is Zhao Kuo, she can prevaricate with an excuse.
But it was Zhao Duanning.
Zhao Duanning escaped from the rebellion of Wu in Sichuan with her.
She originally wanted to take Wang Shiqiang's first credit, and once used the imprisoned Zhao Duanning as a secretary and adviser.
She once asked him who wrote the imperial court's meritorious service recital, and what the trick was to add merit in the middle.
Zhao Duanning knows too well the relationship between An Bing and her.
"Your Majesty, Lord An didn't mention this matter to his concubine."
Ji Qingchen bowed his head respectfully, not letting Zhao Duanning see cold sweat oozing from her forehead when she opened her eyes and said nonsense,
"Although the concubine Yu An has the merit of recommendation. But his grandson was born in the southwest, how could Lord An not know a little taboo. Lord An has long been estranged from his concubines. Please also ask your majesty to be clear. ”
Zhao Duanning snorted coldly.
"The county lady is very talkative."
He used to call her Mrs. County again. After saying that, he coughed himself.
Anyway, he was the emperor, and Ji Qingchen would not remind him of such a small mistake.
"陛xià. The concubines did not dare to deceive. It is said that the magistrate made friends with some promoted officials in the capital in order to find out some news in the court. But there's not much real friendship in that. Things have changed, and the favor is gone. ”
Since Zhao Duanning ascended the throne, An Bing has vacillated between "Lou Yun will be finished sooner or later" and "Mrs. Guo has old favors for the new official family".
If Wang Shiqiang hadn't wanted to kill him, he might not have thrown himself back to her door for help.
"Mrs. Lou is complaining that I snubbed Master Lou a while ago?"
Zhao Duanning felt that this lady was quite ignorant.
Lou Yun has indeed been operating in the southwest and Shandong for a long time, and this major event of the Northern Expedition cannot but reinforce him.
But he is an old minister of King Chen's family, and he Zhao Duanning will let him go to Shandong to unify the army, is it also a great pressure?
What happened to letting her family marry a concubine?
It's not just the royal conquest that makes people have a nervous breakdown.
Every day, the foreign ministers of the unified army turned their heads and returned to Lin'an, which made people even more unable to sleep.
"Look up."
Zhao Duanning didn't sleep well. The temper is not good.
Ji Qingchen raised his head, her appearance under light makeup and fat powder was beautiful and beautiful, but Zhao Duanning saw at a glance that she was completely depressed, and he finally laughed.
"How is your family and the queen's family?"
“……”
When Ji Qingchen heard him take the initiative to mention this stubble, she wanted to cry and hug her thighs, but looking at Zhao Duanning's gloating appearance, she felt that it was hopeless at all.
Zhao Duanning is under a lot of pressure, and she will never be able to see her live happily.
"The concubines chose a courtyard at home, and changed the doors and windows. Be prepared to wait for your grandson to come home before arranging a wedding ceremony. After all, she is the daughter of the queen's family, and the concubine does not dare to slack off. ”
She could only answer respectfully, trying to let him see that Lou Yun was eager to marry the queen's family.
From the bottom of their hearts, they felt that this was completely the grace of the official family.
Lou Yun will fight more bravely in Jiangbei, and he will never have two hearts.
"You know so much. Very good. ”
Zhao Duanning was really satisfied.
Although Mrs. Lou didn't take people into the house immediately, one Lou Yun was in Jiangbei, and the other was that he knew that he was embarrassing her.
"Before Vice Minister Wang left Beijing. Have I ever met you? ”
“……”
Ji Qingchen knew that this sentence was the key point, and if one was not good, he would lose everything.
Lou Yun was released to command the army. That's because Wang Shiqiang, the minister of the army on the other side, is Zhao Duanning's confidant.
If Wang Shiqiang also has two hearts, Zhao Duanning is afraid that he will soon call Lou Yun back with twelve gold medals.
But she can't sell Wang Shiqiang either.
Hundreds of people in the Siming Wang's family are all in Mingzhou. It is impossible for Wang Shiqiang to really have two hearts.
"Why don't you make a sound?"
Zhao Duanning frowned,
"An Bing's matter, does Vice Minister Wang already know? Is it true or false that he impeached An Bing for embezzling military funds and failing to supervise the war? ”
“……”
She didn't want to answer this matter of government affairs at all, who knows what evidence Zhao Duanning has in his hand?
However, the Emperor stared at her right in front of him and replied.
She recalled some of the past things she had muttered with Zhao Duanning in the palace of King Wu, and gritted her teeth and showed her ugliness.
She lifted her skirt and knelt down, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the deputy privy minister secretly sent a message to me and met me privately at the restaurant by the salt canal."
She replied calmly, and Zhao Duanning was dumbfounded when she heard it.
Of course he could hear about the ambiguity,
However, he quickly calmed down after all.
"Get up."
He stretched out his hand and made her stand up, "Is he talking to you about An Bing?" ”
Originally, he only expected to hear from her that Mrs. Wang had any hints to her, or that Wang Shiqiang had some secret correspondence with his sister-in-law Xie Qiniang and Empress Xie.
“…… Not. ”
She replied, and then shut up.
“……”
Zhao Duanning frowned and stared at her for a long time.
"I also remember that you told me in Sichuan that you wanted to win Wang Qing's first credit because he regretted his marriage and was disappointed."
Ji Qingchen wasn't sure he still remembered it. Secretly relieved to hear this.
She sent food to Zhao Duanning every day, because Zhao Duanning's identity was different, and the living expenses were still Wang Sun's specifications.
Although he refused to surrender, he was born to be sociable and did not provoke Wu Xi to deliberately abuse him.
She could sometimes stay for most of the hour to talk to him.
"Mrs. Jun, Lord Wang killed the Wu thief this time, how sure do you feel?"
"Not a single point."
She has to answer honestly like this every day.
Then Zhao Duanning will cheer up in despair, eat well, dress well, sleep well, and reserve strength to wait for a good tire in the next life.
His only pleasure at that time was to watch how Ji Qingchen planned to frame Wang Shiqiang.
Looking at her, she obviously felt that the beheading plan had little hope of success, but she still thought about how to step on Wang Shiqiang every day in case of meritorious service.
Zhao Duanning felt that the days of waiting for death were not too difficult.
He happily threw himself in and gave her advice.
"Didn't Mrs. Lou promise me that after returning to the capital, she would no longer have secret dealings with Lord Wang?"
Zhao Duanning vaguely knew that Ji Qingchen and Wang Shiqiang were quite ambiguous at that time.
She didn't want to mention Lou Yun at all.
As soon as he inquired a little, she frowned coldly, and sneered and said that Lou Yun was not lonely at all, he was mostly old and good-looking.
"I want to reconcile with Lou Xianggong!"
That's what she said through gritted teeth.
He could see that she, like him, was rejoicing in suffering. (To be continued......)
