(Chapter 96) The Long Night is Mostly Ruthless Hate (1)
Jinluan Palace, above the ministers.
"Aiqing went to Jiangnan to recuperate this time, and the results were quite fruitful." Emperor Qin laughed twice, waved at me, and said, "Come forward to receive the merit." β
I rolled up my sleeves, lowered my head and walked two steps in front of the ministers, respectfully inspecting the head, "It is my emperor's grace and might, Ze is born, we can have this merit, and the ministers dare not invite merit." β
Emperor Cen waved his hand and disagreed, "Merit is meritorious, what does it have to do with me?" Say, what reward does Aiqing want? β
I have already finished saying the words on the face, and I will not go around in circles at the moment, and said bluntly, "This is going to Jiangnan, Weichen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked, and fortunately His Royal Highness took care of him along the way, and Weichen's broken body was healed." Wechen once heard His Royal Highness say that he was studying in the palace, bored all the time, and wanted to have a companion, so Wechen begged the emperor to allow Weichen to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study for 30 days to repay the kindness of Jiangnan. β
As soon as I said it, the ministers were stunned, and Pei Lu directly sarcastically said, "The appearance of a country, running to do such a cheap thing, the old man sees that you don't care about the face of the Marquis of Wei Ying's mansion at all, don't take into account my Daqin, my emperor's face!" What a thing that deserves to come out of the womb of a lowly mother! β
Emperor Qin didn't speak immediately, but sat high on the dragon chair, squinting at me and at the ministers under the jade steps.
"Taifu Pei, you are a minister of the Three Dynasties, and you are a respected predecessor of our family, how can you say such vulgar words in front of the ministers and in front of the emperor?" Ye Juezhi listened to Pei Lu's words, the more unpleasant he became, and finally even insulted Shen Xiang's biological mother, he couldn't help but speak, "What's more, Master Taifu has also been a teacher, and now he is a father, a husband, and an ancestor. β
"Ye Shilang's words are wrong, and it is precisely because Master Taifu is a teacher that he made a warning to Lord Shen Xiang." Li Wei retorted, "Ye Shilang should also know that Shen Xiang has to be sealed to a high position at a young age, and no elder in the mansion dares to persuade him, and now Master Taifu is willing to risk being misunderstood to teach Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang is a junior, so he should accept it with an open mind." Ye Shilang is so anxious, but the beloved daughter of the family also fell in love with Shen Xiang's graceful appearance? β
"You!" Ye Jue was extremely angry, he didn't expect Pei Dang to be such a group of scoundrels, he had to bite anyone he saw, he had no daughter, only a little niece, and he was in his prime, but now he was about to be ruined by this scoundrel.
I watched all this silently, but I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
Youth, Qualifications, Biological Mother, Background, Appearance......
It's a stigma I can't get rid of, and it's also the sore spot where they want to bite hard.
Oh, if they knew that it was a girl with the body of a daughter riding on their head, they would come and eat me even if they turned into white bones?
"Mrs. Pei, he's your protΓ©gΓ©, right?" I deliberately asked Pei Lu loudly in front of Emperor Qin.
Pei Lu's eyes sank, and he didn't speak with a cold face.
I don't care about him, I raised my face and walked a few steps closer to Pei Lu, "Su asked Pei's disciple to be a good talent, now it seems that most of the rumors are untrue, otherwise how could there be such a stupid person under your disciple?" β
"What do you mean?" Peiru glared at me.
I spread my hands innocently" Master Pei also heard what he said just now, is there anything wrong with this appearance? β
Then, without waiting for Pei Lu to speak, I turned to the side, flicked my sleeves, and said in a cold voice, "Who in this world doesn't know, Prime Minister Daqin studied under Mr. Sui Qing of Baihe Academy, apart from him, who can be worthy of the word 'teaching'?" Mrs. Pei, can you? β
Pei Lu was speechless.
Who is this Mr. Sui Qing? He is the teacher of the emperor, his ancestors have been noble and talented people for generations, and he does not know how many British monarchs and masters have been taught, even the current emperor was taught by Mr. Sui Qing when he was young.
It was Pei Luzhen who sold this old face, and he didn't dare to compare with Mr. Sui Qing.
Li Wei's face was white and red, and when he felt the emperor's gaze fall on him like a thousand pounds, he felt so regretful in his heart.
How could he have forgotten that even if Shen Qingzhi's qualifications and life experience were disdained by them in private, he shouldn't have said this in front of so many people in order to please Taifu Pei, after all, although Shen Qingzhi is young, her circumstances are strange, from the emperor and the crown prince to the peddler's pawn, God knows who she has befriended.
No one dared to speak in the court for a while, but I smiled at Li Wei, "I heard that the three daughters of the Li family are all the best in the boudoir, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female embroidery. β
The ministers below immediately talked about it, and some even couldn't help but laugh at it.
"Master Li, Shen Xiang is a young man with a Zhilan jade tree and a bright moon like light, who doesn't know this in Qinguo, who doesn't know? Don't be ashamed, this big man is thinking about Shen Xiang's daughter's house, I'm afraid the capital can't be stuffed, right? Hahaha......"
"That is, maybe Shen Xiang takes a fancy to Ling Qianjin and intends to marry Qin Jin with you."
"yes, that's a great thing, haha......"
Li Wei really wanted to faint at this time, thinking that he had been in the officialdom for many years, and now he was humiliated by these people, how could he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put his eyes on Pei Lu for help, but Pei Lu didn't care about him at all, and the disgust in his eyes was no worse than mocking his officialdom opponents.
Li Wei smiled bitterly, and his heart felt like falling to the bottom, cold.
"Alright." Emperor Qin saw that the momentum was one-sided, and spoke out in time, "What kind of joke do you want to say, just say it after you disperse." β
The emperor spoke, and the ministers did not dare to say more, and they all fell silent. Latest
"Aiqing." Emperor Qin looked at me standing in front of the ministers, "Pei Lao's words do have some truth, Qing is a junior, you should ask Pei Lao more for advice on weekdays, and you must not be so disrespectful today." β
I lowered my eyebrows and poured out "Yes." β
In this way, it can be regarded as appeasing Pei Lu, and Emperor Qin continued, "Aiqing really wants to accompany the prince to study? β
Nodding, I replied, "Yes." β
Emperor Qin said, "Okay, since Aiqing wants to do this, I will follow you." β
"Your Majesty!" Pei Lu saw that Emperor Qin actually agreed, and immediately opened his mouth to stop the "old minister......
Emperor Qin raised his hand to stop Pei Lu, and said to the ministers, "Suspend all Shen Qing's duties today, and when the thirty days expire, he will take office again." After a pause, he continued, "Within thirty days, Shen Qing's government affairs will be handled by Taifu Pei, and he must not be neglected. In addition, Shen Qing was given 10,000 taels of gold as a reward for the Jiangnan corruption case. β
I didn't expect the emperor to do this, until I kept recalling the emperor's decree when I looked at me meaningfully in addition to the Jinluan Palace.
Could it be ......
"My lord, Lord Shen Xiang." Ye Juezhi chased after him from behind, "My lord, stop." β
I paused and turned back to look at him, "Ye Shilang, is there something wrong?" β
"Prime Minister, the lower officials ......"
"Ye Shilang." Pei Lu walked out of the hall and interrupted what Ye Juezhi wanted to say.
Ye Juezhi's face was not very good, but he still politely gave Pei Lu a look, "Master Taifu." β
Pei Lu glanced at Ye Juezhi warningly, and his tone was not good, "Ye Shilang should be optimistic about the situation between the DPRK and China, if he continues to be so neutral, it will be empty in the end." After speaking, he glanced at me next to him lightly, and said, "Also, Shen Qingzhi is no longer the prime minister of Daqin from this moment on, you don't want to be wrong again, the old man doesn't want to hurt the peace with the waiter because of such a trivial matter." β
Ye Juezhi didn't speak, Pei Lu snorted coldly, and walked away like a moon in the stars of the ministers.
"My lord, you ......" Ye Juezhi wanted to comfort me, but he didn't know how to speak.
I shook my head at him, "I didn't feel anything, neither angry nor sad. β
Ye Juezhi looked at me and arched his hand, "My lord is really a personable person." β
I didn't pay attention to his polite words, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" β
"Your Excellency." Ye Juezhi waved at me, "Just now, you broke the siege for the lower officials above the court, and the lower officials are very grateful, and I have come to thank you." β
I smiled and said, "You also suffered this unjustified disaster because of your own appearance, and your appearance should feel guilty about you." β
"The big crime is not as good as the parents, and the lower official only spoke because Mrs. Pei said too much, and he really shouldn't be 'guilty' from adults." Ye Juezhi said this, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although you saved the reputation of the niece of the lower official in the court, the lord refuted Lord Li's words and was mean, the lower official didn't think that Lord Li would do anything, but after all, this is related to the reputation of the daughter's family, and it is not a joke." β
"So the squire is here for this?" I said, "Don't worry, this is to fulfill a lover." β
"What? Lovers? Ye Juezhi was stunned.
"Benxiang said that the daughter of the Li family gave Benxiang a big gift, but he didn't say that the thing embroidered with 'Li' was for Benxiang." I gave him a look and walked away with a smile.
The meaning of my words was not understood until April later, when he received a wedding card of 3,000 gold from the Li Mansion.
When I left the palace gate, I turned around and looked at the palace wall standing high in front of me, and my heart turned a thousand times, and finally I made up my mind.
"Childe, it's time to get in the car." Sun Hu walked over from a distance and reminded softly.
"Hmm." I said yes and walked to the carriage.
When I was done in the carriage, Sun Hu asked, "Where is the desire of the son?" β
"Wei Yinghou Mansion."
Before doing that, I should have settled my mother and let her stay alone in the Hou Mansion, I couldn't let go of my mind no matter what.
I raised my hand and rubbed my eyebrows, feeling a little stuffy in my chest.
Are you too tired? Obviously, I've been trying to get as much rest as possible these days.
