Chapter 153: The Situation in North Korea and China
It has been two days since the farce in front of the Shuaifu.
And because of Xiao Jinyu's incident, Xiao Qian's two families in Changping City became the focus of heated discussions for a while.
Especially the fact that the other party is pregnant, it is rumored that the city is full of wind and rain, and everyone knows about it.
Although the Shuai Mansion came forward to clarify afterwards, saying that Xiao Jinyu fell that day and accidentally cut her leg, she saw blood, and it was definitely not a miscarriage.
But this statement is obviously not enough to be trusted, so this Jingshi Immortal is still talked about by people, and they have speculated who the person who has fornicated with her is, some say that it is Qian Yunhong's, and some say that it is the little servant of the Shuai Mansion, but no matter which version it is, Xiao Jinyu's reputation is completely ruined.
As for Xiao Jinyu, who said that after having a miscarriage, as early as two days ago, she was still in a coma, so she was sent out of the Shuai Mansion by the old lady and placed in a separate garden five miles outside the city.
Interestingly, Xiao Jinke also went with her this time, and she naturally did not follow willingly, but was completely escorted by the old lady.
On the day of Xiao Jinyu's miscarriage, the old lady was furious and drove the Qian family to the family temple, and Xiao Jinke, who heard that her mother was in trouble, immediately ran to the old lady to plead for mercy.
The old lady had just woken up from a coma, and she was annoyed immediately by Jinke's crying, and directly asked the other party to leave the house with Xiao Jinyu, and said to the outside world that the two sisters were going to live in another garden, so that they could better cover people's eyes and ears.
So in today's Shuai Mansion, three people were driven out of the mansion in a row, and the entire back house was half empty in an instant, and the old lady didn't know whether she was angry, or worried about Xiao Jinyu, so she fell ill directly, and lay on the ** for two days without going to the ground, and the Zhao family also got their wish, and the power was monopolized.
As for Xiao Jinxuan, who contributed to all this, these two days have been rare and leisurely, and from now on, in this handsome mansion, she doesn't need to worry about safety, because the people who dare to assassinate her no longer exist.
Xiao Jinxuan is comfortably nesting in the Shuai Mansion here, living her own small life, but some people are unhappy because of this, and this person is Zhou Xianyu, who has not been able to see her for several days.
said that Zhou Xianyu at this time did not stay in the barracks, nor did he go back to his palace, but ran to King Rui's mansion, and now he is sitting in Zhou Xianrui's study, in a daze with nothing to do.
Without blinking his eyes for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xianyu seemed to be in a fixed position, staring straight ahead, Zhou Xianrui, who was crouching in front of the bookcase, frowning and reviewing the official documents, was quiet all around, and it was estimated that a needle fell to the ground, and he had to hear it clearly.
After another half-pillar of incense, I saw Zhou Xianyu, who was motionless, suddenly stood up, flew to the bookcase, and then muttered with a complaining face:
"Fifth brother, don't look at it first, okay, I've been here for an hour, I didn't look at your eyes, take a look away from the official document, you are only twenty-three now, how can you be like those old men in the court, meticulous, dull, you are not afraid of decay before you get old."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui's eyes still didn't take half of the official document off, but said in a calm voice:
"You and I, as the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, have carried the heavy responsibility of supporting the dynasty on our shoulders since we were born, if we are not conscientious at all times, how can the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty be rich and strong, and create a prosperous world."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu's head fell directly on the bookcase, obviously for Zhou Xianrui's remarks, he felt very speechless.
And Zhou Xianrui also saw his appearance, and immediately handed over the official document in his hand, and said with a worried face:
"Seventh brother, look at this, there is a drought in Gansu again, there has not been any rain for two consecutive months, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that a drought will break out sooner or later, and the court will not send food to the past, and I will have to tell my father about this tomorrow."
After receiving the Gansu official document, Zhou Xianyu glanced at it cursoryly, and then threw it aside.
Then he stood up straight, snorted, and said:
"Fifth brother, you are admonishing ten times, as long as Xue Xiang's side does not let go, who dares to dial a copper plate in the Manchu Dynasty, as long as the treasury is empty, it can withstand your thousand admonitions."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui, who has never been happy and angry, clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the bookcase directly, which shows that he must be very annoyed in his heart.
"During the time that you left Beijing, the actions of the Xue family have never been broken, especially our second emperor brother, who almost didn't assassinate the prince's royal brother, but fortunately, the fourth young lady helped him, and finally killed Qian Ming, otherwise this will be the prince's position as the prince, maybe it will be really difficult to keep."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu smiled evilly, and said with a look of pride on his face:
"This is also with the fifth brother, you said, my Xuan'er is naturally the best, when you were in Yangzhou, didn't you have learned it, a little Huai'an Hou will naturally not be her opponent. However, the crown prince owes Xuan'er a favor this time, so he should always give a big gift to express it. ”
Looking at Zhou Xianyu, when Xiao Jinxuan was mentioned, his radiant appearance, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Seventh brother, in fact, the fourth lady helped each other, I didn't mention it to the prince, you don't know the character of our imperial brother, he didn't feel that it was wrong to worship the traitorous king at all, in his opinion, the four rebel kings are also clan elders, even if they did something before death, they should be treated with courtesy after death, and they can't be abandoned."
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianyu snorted lightly.
"The elm head of the eldest brother, it's not that I said him, he is simply stupid at reading, opening his mouth to be benevolent and righteous and closing his mouth about morality, worshipping the traitorous king, if it weren't for you and Jinxuan helping each other in the back, it is estimated that he would have been kicked off the position of the prince by the second brother, and he would be dumbfounded by then."
For Zhou Xianyu's private, very unobtrusive character, Zhou Xianrui has seen it for more than ten years, and now he is not surprised.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he said helplessly:
"You can't say that, the prince and brother are benevolent and righteous, if he can ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, I believe that with the benevolence of the other party, the world will be clear, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and he will be able to become a benevolent lord."
But obviously, Zhou Xianyu didn't agree with this very much, so he saw him raise his eyebrows and said:
"As an emperor, benevolence is important, but if it is too benevolent, it will become indecisive, and there is less decisive monarch, which is also a fatal shortcoming.
Zhou Xianyu doesn't look at him usually, as if he doesn't care about anything, but he can lead the army to fight and win every battle, which in itself is enough to show that he can't be a mediocre straw bag at all.
Although he has no intention of politics and is not involved in party disputes, he can analyze the current situation and the pros and cons of the character between the prince and the prince, but he is simply handy, and what he says is the truth.
And it is obvious that although Zhou Xianrui is a ****** person, it seems that Zhou Xianyu is not optimistic about the prince.
For this, Zhou Xianrui was not angry after hearing this, after all, he and Zhou Xianyu were only three years apart, the other party lost his mother at the age of five, and was adopted by his mother at the age of eight.
Therefore, the two of them have grown up together since childhood, and in private, the two brothers have always been inseparable from each other, and there is no restraint in their speech.
And what Zhou Xianyu said is not right, the prince's character is too benevolent, this is an indisputable fact, but Zhou Xianrui said confidently after laughing:
"Seventh brother, isn't the prince benevolent still have to assist his brother, Kuang Fu Sheji, and stabilize the country, I believe that when the crown prince and brother ascend the throne, under his benevolent regime, the ambition in my heart will definitely be able to be displayed."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu said with a smile: "Yes, the fifth brother's ideal is to become a generation of virtuous kings, don't worry, when the eldest brother ascends the throne, this younger brother is not interested, but I can help you expand the territory of Anbang, guard the frontier, and protect my Great Zhou Dynasty Yongning." ”
In Zhou Xianyu's heart, who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with him, he has always helped Zhou Xianrui, even if the other party says that he wants to win the throne himself, then he will not hesitate to support it with both hands.
Zhou Xianrui patted Zhou Xianyu's shoulder approvingly, and then suddenly said:
"When you came in, I looked at you and coughed lightly, but I suffered from the wind chill on the night of the Lantern Festival, so my body was fine."
Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders slightly:
"Fifth brother, I'm not as weak and sick as you said, when the troops are outside, when it rains for several days, that's also there, how can you stand in the lake for a while, and then fall ill, don't worry about it."
But Zhou Xianrui stood up, walked to the tea table in the study, and then said in a loud voice:
"Yu An, you go and make two cups of tea, my tea is still the same, make that ginger wolfberry tea for the seventh brother, and then bring some snacks in, this king has not finished the rice grain today, and now he feels a little hungry."
Seeing that Yu An answered outside the door, he left quickly, and Zhou Xianyu also sat down next to the tea table, and then said with some disgust:
"Fifth brother, you don't know me, I have always hated ginger the most, and I have said that I am fine, even if you bring ginger tea, I won't drink it."
Looking at Zhou Xianyu's appearance that he couldn't drink even to death, Zhou Xianrui smiled silently, and didn't say much, just waited for Yu An to bring the refreshments.
It didn't take much effort for Yu An to come back with a tray, and after setting up two cups of steaming tea and three plates of delicate dim sum, he bowed and withdrew.
Zhou Xianyu casually picked up a piece of snack, and then glanced at the two cups of tea on the table.
Then I saw a wicked smile flash in his eyes, and then he directly took the ginseng tea in front of Zhou Xianrui in his hand, and then said proudly:
"Fifth brother, this tea looks good, or we brothers will change it, anyway, you won't be taboo, ginger tea will be left to you."
After speaking, Zhou Xianyu took a bite of the snack, then picked up the tea with a smile and was about to send it to his lips.
Looking at the other party's proud appearance, Zhou Xianrui smiled instead, and then sighed helplessly and said:
"Alas! Is the seventh brother really ready to exchange tea for the same brother? That's really a pity for the fourth lady's hard work, since the seventh brother doesn't like the tea that people personally prepared for you, then the brother will reluctantly drink it for you. ”
The fluttering words made Zhou Xianrui's movements stiffen, and he didn't drink the tea to his mouth, and even forgot to swallow the dim sum in his mouth, and as a result, he was choked with a long cough, and even tears were coughed out.
