Chapter 221: Bureau
See the sunset again.
The sun is setting.
The light in the Cuiwei Pavilion of Cining Palace was slightly dim because of the obstruction of the merlin outside.
The queen mother took a fire fold, lit a pillar of sandalwood and put it in the incense burner, the smoke was like a pillar, and the fragrance overflowed the room.
"The mourning family is afraid of the cold, and rarely opens the window. But the doctor said...... Every hour, the windows need to be opened for a quarter of an hour to breathe. The mourning family is old, and it is time to accompany the emperor if he wants to live for many days. ”
She trembled and walked towards the warm bed, Yu Wenyun hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is in good health, how can she live to be one hundred and twenty years old." ”
"You girl...... Wouldn't he become an old goblin, but he would eat the blessings of his children and grandchildren, and he would be punished. ”
She sat down on the warm bed, and then waved her hand, "You all sit down, ask Yun, you boil tea, just cook the Lingnan rock tea sent by your mother, it tastes good, you all taste it." ”
Fu Xiaoguan bowed respectfully and sat down in a proper manner, Su Su looked at it, and also sat next to Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan can't understand the thoughts of this old queen mother, and if there are two people before and after, then which one is the real queen mother?
The Queen Mother seemed to have only seen Su Su at this time, and was a little surprised, and asked, "Whose girl is this?" Ice carved people, why haven't the mourning family seen it? ”
Su Su's eyes widened and showed a bright smile, and Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly replied: "Empress Dowager, this is ...... Minister's Guard. ”
"Oh......" The Queen Mother looked at Yu Wenyun meaningfully, and Yu Wenyun nodded lightly.
"Come here, let the mourning family take a closer look."
Fu Xiaoguan got up and walked over, the Queen Mother raised her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, the distance was still a little far, so she patted the warm bed, "Sit closer." ”
Fu Xiaoguan sat down as he said, and the Queen Mother stared at him carefully for dozens of breaths, but there was no killing intent in her eyes just now.
"And your mother...... It looks like it! ”
"The Queen Mother knows my mother?"
The Queen Mother retracted her gaze and smiled lightly, and the furrow on her face became a little deeper.
"Xu Yunqing was a famous talented woman in the capital back then, and at that time, she ...... The current emperor is still the crown prince, and speaking of which, he is also one of Xu Yunqing's admirers. ”
The Queen Mother seemed to be caught in the memories of the year, Yu Wenyun was slightly taken aback while boiling tea, and looked at the eldest princess, who only smiled indifferently.
"The mourning family remembers that it was about the forty years of Taihe, and that year's Mid-Autumn Festival Lanting poetry gathering, the mourning family and the emperor went to take a look. It was then that the mourning family met Xu Yunqing for the first time. She was surrounded by a group of teenagers like stars and moons, including Dong Kangping, Yan Shidao, and ...... Oh, yes, there is also the Xi family's kid Xi Xunmei and the prince of the Wu Dynasty, the current Emperor Wen, Wu Changfeng. Of course, the crown prince was also there. ”
I still remember that the mourning family still talked to the emperor at that time...... This Xu Yunqing should have already reached the line, did he give Xu Shaoguang a will to let Xu Yunqing marry the crown prince as the crown princess. ”
Fu Xiaoguan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, his mother was ...... back then What kind of demeanor is it?
Yu Wenyun didn't know this story, so he listened to it and fell into a trance, and he didn't even know that the water in the teapot was boiling, but fortunately the eldest princess sat down and took over the job of making tea.
"If the emperor nodded at that time, the queen of this Yu Dynasty would be Xu Yunqing!"
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned for a moment and asked, "No, how did I hear that Yan Shidao likes my mother?" ”
"Nonsense, there are too many people who like your mother in the capital."
The Queen Mother suddenly sighed and said, "It's all about making people...... Or maybe it's just fate. Later, the mourning family asked the emperor again, but the emperor still failed to answer, and then ...... The mourning family heard that Xu Yunqing was married to a landlord from Linjiang, and after that, the mourning family never asked, but they didn't expect that her sons were already so old. ”
So far, this is the third version of the mother's statement.
The first is the story engraved by Fu Daguan on his mother's tombstone, the second is the past that he talked about by Huqin and Hu in the red sleeves, and the third is the queen mother's memories of Xu Yunqing at this moment.
In the first story, the mother falls in love with the father and elopes on a snowy night. In the second story, Fu Daguan is a third person, and according to Hu Qin, his mother does not like his father, and she should have married Yan Shidao.
But in this third story, the mother almost became the queen simply because the emperor didn't nod her head - so why didn't the emperor agree?
Maybe there is no love between the mother and the son today, so if you can be appreciated by Your Majesty, is there a reason why there is no mother?
Fu Xiaoguan didn't know that this was something that could not be answered, and he didn't have the heart to know the truth.
"Just now you said that the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty is also there?"
"That's right, that year, at the Yu Dynasty Literary Meeting, Wen Xingzhou of the Wu Dynasty came to participate with Wu Dynasty students, and Wu Changfeng, the prince of the Wu Dynasty, was also among them."
Qin Bingzhong didn't talk about this, thinking that it was a secret that the prince of the Wu Dynasty came, but Qin Bingzhong didn't know.
"Okay, since your mother has gone to the immortal, and you have a chance now, she is at ease when she thinks about it."
Fu Xiaoguan got up and retreated to the tea table and sat down, the Queen Mother seemed a little tired, she closed her eyes and didn't speak again for a long time.
Yu Wenyun came back to his senses, hurriedly took the brewed tea and poured it for the eldest princess, and whispered to Fu Xiaoguan: "This is my aunt, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly saluted: "Hello aunt! ”
The eldest princess burst out laughing, and Yu Wenyun was embarrassed, and her face suddenly flew red.
Fu Xiaoguan then remembered that he couldn't call it that way now, but the words had been out and couldn't be taken back, he smiled and said: "The junior just saw that his aunt was kind, so he couldn't help but call it out, and asked his aunt to forgive me." ”
"You guy, your little mouth is so sweet...... Ask Yun, you and Shulan have to keep an eye on him, my aunt is worried that his mouth will deceive many women. ”
Yu Wenyun pursed her lips and glared at Fu Xiaoguan, thinking that her aunt didn't know Yan Beixi's granddaughter Yan Xiaolou, I am afraid that she has already fallen into his way!
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and spoke: "That's what the mourning family thinks, after all, it's royal blood, is this matter just settled?" ”
The eldest princess gave Fu Xiaoguan a look, meaning that he would give the Queen Mother a step like this, and the purpose of this matter has been achieved, so forget it.
But Fu Xiaoguan said very seriously: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister thought that the third prince must accept the punishment of the law, as for the Prince of the Comet, the minister thought that it would not be a case of right and wrong, and asked the Queen Mother to persuade him to leave Shangjing and go to his prince's fiefdom." ”
There was silence for a long time.
"Do you really want him to die?"
The atmosphere here was suddenly solemn, the window was not opened, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to breathe.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the death or immortality of the third prince is determined by law, the minister asks the Queen Mother to think twice, the three princes committed murder in broad daylight, and the people on the long street have seen it. And the evil things that the third prince did before, the queen mother must have heard about it. The minister understands the queen mother's thoughts, but the minister asks the queen mother to think about it, who understands the thoughts of the victims' parents? ”
"If evil is not punished, then good is meaningless. Moreover, the moral law of the country will also sink because of this incident, causing the officials to despise the law, and the people not to believe in the law, which will have no rules, which is a great harm to the Yu Dynasty. The minister dared to assert that if the third prince failed to be punished, then the moral law of the Yu Dynasty would be set back by at least a hundred years! ”
"So for the sake of Dayu Sheji, the minister has to ask the Queen Mother to kill her relatives with righteousness!"
Silence again.
Only tea smoke curls and sandalwood curls.
After a long time, the Queen Mother's eyes did not open, and she said slowly: "The mourning family is tired, you and Wenyun...... The mourning family agreed, do you remember that the mourning family loves to ask Yun, if you let her be wronged...... Mourning home, I will not surround you! ”
She raised her hand and waved it gently, "You all stand down, ask Yun, open the window, and the mourning family will rest for a while." ”
The Queen Mother agreed to the matter of Yu Wenyun and Fu Xiaoguan, which was originally a happy thing, but Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Wenyun were not happy at the moment.
The queen mother obviously knew that the third prince would definitely die, as a grandmother, of course she wanted to save the third prince, but as the queen mother of a country, she understood the meaning of Fu Xiaoguan's words.
She was indeed tired, tired.
She didn't expect that her kindness would have left Prince Comet in Shangjing, but it led to the current tragedy, if she hadn't changed the rules back then, let Prince Comet go to the Lingnan fiefdom, maybe it wouldn't have been like this.
She lay on the warm bed and did not fall asleep, but opened her eyes and looked at the empty roof, two cloudy tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
……
……
In the Butterfly Palace.
Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Wenyun sat side by side.
Yu Wenyun told Shang Guifei in detail, and Shang Guifei's face was also quite gloomy, and it took a long time before she sighed.
"I feel unworthy for the Queen Mother, not Prince Comet, Prince Comet has put on a good show!"
Fu Xiaoguan was puzzled and asked, "What does Niangniang mean ......?"
"He is not such a stupid person, and the one he sang in front of the Queen Mother was to leave Beijing. If he bows his head and admits his mistake, the Queen Mother will be soft-hearted, and she will inevitably think of keeping him in Shangjing again. ”
But he understood that it was pointless to stay in Shangjing now, and it was better to go back to his Lingnan in order to make a comeback. So instead of admitting his mistakes, he continued to fight with you, with only one purpose - to make the Queen Mother die for him. ”
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly realized that this prince knew that he couldn't die, and he still had two sons, but if he continued to stay in Shangjing, there might be a bigger disaster, so of course it was better to leave.
Although Lingnan is bitterly cold, it is also a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and in that one-third of an acre of land, he can act more recklessly.
I'm still a lot more tender!
"That's all there is to do for now, and let him go, there won't be many waves. Junior official, you can write to ask your father to come to Beijing. ”
Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed, and Yu Wenyun looked coquettish.
Shang Guifei looked at Mei outside the window, her face was calm, but she was also relieved in her heart.
thought that in order for his daughter to marry Fu Xiaoguan, the chess game he arranged was a successful end.
And the next game of chess scales has also been placed, next, when all living beings are the sons, and then look at the Beijing Fengyun!
