Chapter 724: Lakes and Mountains
The old marquis's army was stationed outside the stable, and the emperor specially invited the old marquis to come in and talk about it before leaving Beijing. The old marquis was originally up and down in his heart, but after talking to the new emperor, he felt a lot more in his heart.
Don't say that the emperor is wary of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, just say that the emperor is really for the people, which the old marquis agrees with.
The emperor asked the old marquis to guard the stable, and the old marquis received the emperor's decree, so he naturally wanted to do his duty as a courtier. So the Hou Mansion, who was supposed to go back to the stable once in ten days, saw his great-grandson, but now it's okay, and he only returns once in ten days and twenty days.
The old marquis also talked to Mrs. Hou about the new emperor, and felt that this emperor really had a bit of a Ming Jun's appearance, not to mention how vicious he was before, from the prince of benevolence and filial piety, and then to the emperor, he pushed these people down from the throne one by one.
But now people are really for the country and the people, and no one says that the emperor is not, only how wise the emperor is. The old marquis also hopes to meet Mingjun, but this Mingjun is now waiting for the Beihou Mansion, and this attitude is still a little incomprehensible!
If he defended the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he could have taken back the military power of the defenders outside the stable on the grounds that he was old, but the emperor didn't.
On the contrary, before leaving Beijing, he entrusted the safety of the stable to himself. The heart of the old marquis has never changed, although it has been loosened, but it has only been, but it has never really thought about it. Now seeing that the emperor reuses the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the old marquis has a few different tastes in his heart.
Nangong Ming and Concubine Wu were originally in a carriage, but after leaving the stable, they got on the rented boat directly. This boat seems ordinary, but the things inside are not simple.
Concubine Wu knew that this was to hide people's eyes, but why did Nangong Ming inform the Jiangnan officials of the itinerary? But these are not what Concubine Wu thinks, Concubine Wu just doesn't understand why Nangong Ming wants to take herself out of the palace.
Is it really just to prevent the Empress Dowager from doing it to herself? Or let the harem concubines bully yourself, this doesn't seem to be a high possibility!
Qing Yan packed up his things excitedly. Looking at the lake and mountains outside the window, I was very happy: "Niangniang, you don't know, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is the best, and the slave maid in the palace often hears people say that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou. We are really lucky to be able to follow the emperor out of the palace this time."
Concubine Wu smiled. Looking at Qing Yan's excited look." Look at you, so happy, as if you have been wronged in the palace.
Gangnam is really good. If you return to the stable after seeing the scenery of Jiangnan, you will only feel lost. It's better to never see something good from the beginning, and look at ugly things all day long. I don't feel disgusted."
Qing Yan didn't understand a little, but he responded with a smile.
Then I went back to my work. Concubine Wu just sat on the rickety bed, looking at the lakes and mountains outside the window, and only felt as if she had said that she wanted to go to Jiangnan to have a look. Look at the silk in Jiangnan, look at the embroidery work in Jiangnan.
It's been so long that I've forgotten it. I once gave myself a good idea to go to Gangnam. It seems to look at the beauty here.
In the evening, Concubine Wu wanted to eat in the room, but she didn't know that Gonggong Wan came to invite someone in person. only said that the emperor invited himself to go to the meal together. Concubine Wu couldn't help it, she looked at herself in the mirror dressed up casually, she didn't bother to take care of it at all, she didn't even change her clothes, and left with her father-in-law.
Qing Yan is used to Concubine Wu's neglect of the emperor, and sometimes Qing Yan feels that maybe such Concubine Wu is the reason why the emperor likes her.
Unlike the mothers in the palace, they are all dressed up seriously, and if they see too many beauties like that, they will feel that they are immortals.
The boat is not very large, so it is only divided into two levels, and the deck of the two sides has all the views of the lake. It's already evening, but it's just in time to see the sunset.
Concubine Wu walked into Nangong Ming's sight under the afterglow of the setting sun, Nangong Ming sat at the table, looking at Concubine Wu in a white shirt, under the background of the sunset, it seemed to have a layer of golden light.
Nangong Ming seemed to feel that he had returned to the past, back to the time when he opened his eyes, and saw a beautiful young lady at first glance, looking at himself with excitement.
"Hui'er, please be seated!" Nangong Ming personally stepped forward to help Concubine Wu sit down.
After Concubine Wu sat down, she saw all the fish on the table, and immediately understood that eighty percent of them were freshly made from this lake.
Concubine Wu was not polite, looked at the white crucian carp soup, and drank it generously. Nangong Ming watched Concubine Wu drink it, and took a sip of it himself, and sure enough, the crucian carp in this lake was exceptionally delicious, and it also had a sweet taste." Is it delicious?"
Nangong Ming said flatteringly, but unfortunately Concubine Wu just responded lightly. Nangong Ming was also angry, and still carefully sandwiched the perch meat for Concubine Wu, and after careful inspection, he was sure that there were no thorns, so he put it in Concubine Wu's bowl.
The father-in-law on the side was distressed, how could there be a concubine who let the emperor serve like this, and naturally the emperor was too undignified. But who let it be Concubine Wu?
The emperor doesn't have a good face for the other concubines. Just take this time out of the palace, the concubines heard that only Concubine Wu was brought with them, and they were crying and making trouble. But the emperor didn't pay attention to it at all, and only said that whoever made trouble would send him to Jiangnan for cultivation, didn't he like Jiangnan? Just stay for a lifetime!
As soon as the emperor's words were released, no one dared to make trouble immediately, and those who ran to Cining Palace to cry grievances did not dare to cry, and those who sent letters to their parents' homes for help did not hear from them. The emperor's temperament and concubines have all seen it, and they say the same.
As long as the emperor is really angry, there is really no face to talk about. How did the emperor take this throne, and hundreds of lives at the entrance of the vegetable market, but the blood on the ground has not dried yet?
Even the ministers in the court heard that the emperor only took Concubine Wu out of the palace, and no one dared to say anything, but one of the ministers said that why didn't he bring more two concubines to serve by his side.
As a result, the emperor directly demoted people to one level, which was a wake-up call for everyone, no one. [,! Dare to say one more word.
Wu Lin looked at his master, his face was a little more worried, "Why does this emperor favor Concubine Wu so much?"
Lord Wu is now in an important position, and after the emperor leaves the palace, the name of Lord Wu is among the ministers who are in charge of the country together. Lord Wu doesn't have the time to control Concubine Wu's favor, but he just hopes that nothing big will happen to the court, otherwise he will have to suffer from it." Really?"
Wu Lin saw that his master didn't have the heart to mention this, so he didn't say more, "But what's the matter in the court?"
Master Wu shook his head: "There is no such thing, but I have to guard against it!" This emperor is not in the palace, and we, the ministers of the prison state, are under great pressure! I'm afraid that something will happen, and this accident is a capital crime! "
Wu Lin also understands that the greater the official position, the greater the pressure. Especially those like their own masters, who are deeply favored by the emperor, are even more stressed! To say that Emperor Shun didn't wait to see the lord before, the lord was just a mess.
Now that the lord has been reused by the new emperor and entered the cabinet all of a sudden, doesn't he just want to serve the country, be loyal to the emperor, and serve the emperor? That's it, this man's affairs are out of his own hands, so let's get involved! (To be continued)
