Chapter 273: Rumors

"But Miao Ling, do you know what a terrible thing it is for the bride not to be touched by her own man when she is newly married, although your mother is the county lord, and the gossip in the capital can force people to death."

Miao Ling nodded, the rumors hurt people, but the rumors couldn't stop.

"But Miaoling, do you know that the next day when I drank your mother's daughter-in-law's tea, the old lady brought the juanpa, and the blood on it was red."

"Your father cut his own finger and got it, and he thought I didn't know."

At that time, Wu Dehou was also temperamental.

If it weren't for the old lady who said, Qu Miaoling would never have known that Wu Dehou's feelings for his mother were so deep in his life.

"Before your mother entered the mansion, in fact, Wu Dehou only had two concubines, just for your mother, he dismissed those two concubines and gave a lot of silver."

"After that, no matter how much I persuaded you, your father didn't marry another concubine, and it took two years to give birth to you."

Two years.

Qu Miaoling couldn't help but marvel in her heart.

Unexpectedly, at that time, Wu Dehou was still a man with great affection, only guarding a wife, not to mention, who had not had a son and a half daughter for two years of marriage, not to mention that he was a marquis, even if he was an ordinary farmer, he would divorce his wife and remarry.

"Miao Ling, you must know that your mother has always had a status in your father's heart."

The conversation with the old lady was very pleasant, and the old lady answered all questions and solved Qu Miaoling's long-standing doubts.

It also made her know more about Wu Dehou as a person.

Although now, she doesn't have much affection for Wu Dehou.

"Grandmother, what is the matter between the queen and Situ Bozheng?"

The old lady withdrew from her memories, and she couldn't slow down to listen to Qu Miaoling's question, and she replied after a while: "There were very few people who knew about this at that time, and I also heard some rumors, you know that the queen and the current emperor and King Zheng are childhood sweethearts, and the three of them have known each other for a long time, and you have known your mother for a long time, and it is nothing more than that." ”

Miao Ling thought about it, it is easy to understand that after so many years of getting along day and night, it is easy to understand why Situ Bozheng didn't marry Mu Wanshu first

This question became even stronger after Qu Miaoling learned that the two had a period of time.

The old lady said for so long, she took a sip of tea, "The rumor says that the effect has been doubted by the emperor at that time, and he urgently needs a son-in-law who has no power and no power to alleviate the emperor's suspicion for himself, so she chose Situ Qingchu, who was not favored at that time. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and Qu Miaoling slowly opened his eyes.

"I guess you also know what happened later, after Situ Bozheng was crowned king, he chose the fief of Guannan, far away from the capital, and rarely came back in the past ten years."

The old lady's explanation was clear and clear, Qu Miaoling could hear every word clearly, and asked questions in time if he didn't understand something, and soon he sorted out the chaotic relationship between the three people. Although some of them are rumors, there is no wind and no waves, and it can be said from the mouth of the old lady, so there must be some basis for this matter.

"Grandmother, thank you for answering Miao Ling's questions."

The old lady didn't say anything with white hands.

It was already late, and Qu Miaoling was thinking about how to deal with Situ Bozheng all the way back to Wanzhen Courtyard.

She didn't have a trace of doubt in her heart that Situ Bozheng would definitely help the queen, and the queen was the person behind Situ Huaibo, the combined strength of these three people should not be underestimated, and she had to prepare early.

"Miss, why did you come back so late?"

Qingrou is in a hurry, tomorrow the dinner party is over, and the carriage has already returned home.

"I went to the monastery."

Qu Miaoling didn't explain much and went back to her room, the amount of information provided by the old lady was too large, she had to digest and digest it well, and she had to find clues from it in order to deal with the big man Situ Bozheng.

Now it seems that the most threatening of the three people, Queen Situ Bozheng and Situ Huaibo, is Situ Bozheng.

As long as he gets rid of him, Situ Huai will definitely want to ascend the throne, and it will be a certainty.

With a heart full of questions, Qu Miaoling fell asleep with a frown.

When he woke up the next day, Qu Miaoling patted his head, so why didn't he do it?

An idea slowly emerged from his mind, and Qu Miaoling decided to do it first.

can not only guide public opinion, but also allow Situ Bozheng to distance himself from the queen, even if he wants to help Situ Huaibo secretly, he has to weigh it carefully.

Qu Miaoling's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered to go down, and the people under his hands began to act.

"What are you happy about, Miss?"

Since she came back last night, Qu Miaoling's state has been very wrong, and she was elated this morning, not like the style of the young lady.

"There's a good thing, a good thing."

Qu Miaoling smiled heartily, she hadn't smiled like this for a long time, her face was bright, and her whole person seemed to glow, and she was stunned when she saw this girl.

"Miss is so good-looking,"

No wonder Situ Huaibo and Situ Huaiju both fell in love with Miss, the title of the first beauty in the capital originally belonged to their own Miss.

Gentle couldn't help but think.

Hearing the soft silly words, Qu Miaoling smiled even brighter.

After the banquet last night, the emperor sent Situ Bozheng to the Suxi Palace, and he left, but after leaving, he sat in the study, and he couldn't stand the twists and turns in front of him.

What will the queen mother say to Bo Zheng?

Bo Zheng always looked at the queen tonight, what did he want to do?

Tonight, his eyes repeatedly looked at Qu Miaoling, what idea did he have in his heart?

All kinds of thoughts went through Situ Qingchu's mind, more and more questions swirled in it, Situ Qingchu didn't know what to do, he held his forehead with one hand, and Su Dexi next to him looked at his nose and nose, and he didn't dare to put a fart.

Since the night passed, Situ Qingchun knew that the Queen Mother had left Situ Huaibo for breakfast, and only after the two of them finished breakfast did they call Situ Bozheng over.

No one knows what the two brothers said in the imperial study.

Seeing Situ Bozheng's back disappear in front of him, the smile on Situ Qingzheng's face also disappeared.

After so many years, his good imperial brother's mind has also become heavy.

But no matter what, now he is the emperor of the Daling Dynasty.

Situ clenched the red pen in his hand lightly and continued to bury his head in official business.

Today in the court, he announced a piece of news, Situ Huai decided to take over the garrison in the capital, Situ Huai decided to serve as the commander, and then ordered the tiger talisman of the garrison army to be handed over to Situ Huai Du.

When he knelt down to receive the order, the emperor's gaze inadvertently swept over Situ Huaibo.

Although the other party hung his head, Situ Qingzhen could still imagine that his face must be hideous at this moment.

Now the household department is no longer Situ Huaibo's Yiyantang, and Lord Zhou's involvement makes it difficult for him to give every order.

But he still had to greet Lord Zhou with a smiling face, because Lord Zhou would personally report to the emperor every week.

In this report, in addition to the official affairs that Situ Huaibo knew, there were also Situ Huaibo's every move that Master Zhou had seen.

Situ Huaibo's heart trembled, and he flattered Lord Zhou even more, but Lord Zhou was upright, refused to meet, refused to invite guests to dinner, he gave out all the gifts, and Lord Zhou still retreated.

Situ Huaibo's face was dark, and he could only have more contact with Lord Zhou when he was working in the household department, so as to win his appreciation.

But a month has passed, and Mr. Zhou's attitude has not changed in the slightest.

When the two got along, they were still lukewarm, which made Situ Huaibo extremely annoyed.

But he could only endure it.

But fortunately, he remembered that when the queen called him over, he told himself about Situ Bozheng.

Of course, the queen naturally hid Situ Bozheng's theory that he was not optimistic about him, and he only knew that King Zheng would help him win the throne, and Situ Huaibo, who had suffered a setback recently, strengthened his confidence in his heart.

Of course, he knew that Situ Bozheng was a powerful foreign aid, otherwise he would not have let Qu Miaoling have more contact with King Zheng at the banquet that day.

But today, in the court, the emperor personally appointed Situ Huai as the commander and was also in charge of the garrison army.

The last time the eldest prince forced the palace, the garrison army made a lot of efforts, if it weren't for their help, Situ Huaibo would have captured the eldest prince alive so easily.

In this garrison army, all of them are capable people with fists and feet, and they can be ten with one.

What was the intention of the emperor's move? Situ Huaibo couldn't see it clearly.

Could it be that the emperor still has a grudge against himself?

An idea was like a leaf fluttering in the wind, chaotic, and it all fell on him, making him confused.

It has been a long time since Situ Huaidu's tiger talisman was recovered, and the emperor handed over the military power to him this time, compared with the tens of thousands of soldiers, there were only a few thousand people to protect the city, which made Situ Huaibo feel even more frightened.

Soldiers can only be stationed outside the pass, but the city guards are really stationed on the periphery of the capital, which is the first layer of protection in the capital.

After the emperor announced the order, he praised Situ Huaibo again.

"Emperor, the merits you have done in the household department, my father has seen that you have done a good job, continue to work hard."

said these two sentences without being light or heavy, and they were all nonsense, on the surface they were compliments, but who knew what the emperor was thinking in his heart?

One is a useless household, and the other is a commander with heavy troops.

Everyone knows which is more important.

Could it be that the emperor changed his mind and wanted Situ Huai to be the crown prince?

Everyone secretly thought in their hearts that they had already stood in line as if they had been scratched by a cat, but they were a little complacent if they didn't stand in line, but fortunately they survived.

Situ Qingchu put down the pen, and thought about Situ Huai's appointment for a long time, after all, his third brother had led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat the Huns, and his prestige in the army was very high.

With Situ Huaibo's experience, the emperor felt more and more that Situ Huaidu's son was a good one.

Not only can he lead troops to fight, but he is also filial.

He always remembered that after Situ Huai came back, he came to his study after the celebration banquet, although he was empty, but the next morning he came again, and his words were full of concern for those fallen soldiers and wounded soldiers.

Kind-hearted and kind-hearted, this is his good son.

The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and the more he felt that the position he gave to Commander Situ Huaibin was treating him poorly.

Otherwise, after a while, he will give Situ Huai a promotion.

The Emperor thought to himself.

There was an uproar in the capital because of the emperor's move. The queue began to be chaotic again, and Boming, who had been in Situ Huai before, was so frightened that he turned around and went to Situ Huai to decide.

Situ Huaibo gritted his teeth, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on his side, he was helpless.

can only endure this revenge secretly.

When the day comes, he will ......

With a loud "pong", the imperial case in the study of King Huai's Mansion was kicked down.

The roar resounded in the sky, the birds flew away in fright, and the little boys trembled.

Just when Situ Huaibo was hesitating, a rumor gradually spread in the capital.

"The second prince, if you have the imperial spirit and ascend to the throne, it will be you."

It spread all over the capital, and it was first shouted by a few children, but immediately the six departments knew, the soldiers knew, and the people knew.

There was a loud bang, and the emperor slammed the fold to the ground.

Su Dexi's neck was about to shrink into his body.

"Your Majesty, you are angry, it's all nonsense from those ignorant people, don't be angry."

Su Dexi trembled and persuaded him, and he knelt on the ground, both knees weak.

"What do the people say! Do they all say that Situ Huaibo is the true son of heaven? What am I? ”

Situ Qingchun roared, and the entire imperial study shook twice.
