Chapter XVIII: Loyal Ministers and Traitors
On the second day, at the behest of the Southern Emperor, he came down.
Qi Shang was grounded in Qi Mansion, and Qi's father went crazy and made trouble in front of the palace.
Qi Tang received the order of his family and knelt in front of the imperial study for half a day, and asked for demotion. When the princess and the queen were married to Beixue, the Qi family personally escorted them. At this point, this farce has come to an end.
When the decree came to Qi's mansion, Qi Shang was teasing the maid in the backyard, but he just took it safely and quietly, and didn't say much.
He held a short knife in his hand, the tip of which was close to his skin, and he picked off the clothes of the people in front of him one by one.
Under the expression of the other party shrinking and crying, he wanted to go crazy, and finally he wiped it horizontally, directly killing the woman under him.
Father Qi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Qi Shang's crazy appearance now, and just as he was about to teach a lesson, he wanted to fly by himself when the short knife wanted to fly by himself.
There was blood on the tip of the knife, so he took it straight and rubbed it against Qi's father's cheek, and in an instant, blood appeared on that face.
Qi Shang raised his head: "I have never liked others to teach me. ”
Father Qi retracted his gaze, gritted his teeth and saluted the person on the bed, reporting the current situation of the government.
Really in the Qi family, Qi Shang has already become the person in power, so the subordinates are not surprised by this scene.
A few people stepped forward to serve the little boy to change his clothes, and a few others cleaned up the body of the woman just now with a cold face.
Qi Shang teased the maid who served him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I heard that the third prince has a good relationship with the daughter of the Song family." ”
Although Emperor Ying Nan agreed to the marriage, if the proton disappeared unconsciously, Gu Ting still had a chance. And he, through yesterday's events, has long been excluded.
He retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice: "Let Qi Tang ask the emperor for a decree and fulfill His Royal Highness." ”
Father Qi should say "yes" when he heard this, and then retreated step by step and left.
Within a few days, the marriage between the third prince and the daughter of the Song family spread all over the streets.
Wuguo listened to the rumors in the market, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Lousheng beside him curiously.
Seeing that the other party still had a calm face, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Although the third prince Wan Qi Chengyu was born to Concubine Qi, he is really a kind-hearted master.
In the battle for imperial power in the harem, he is afraid that he is the only one who has no idea of seizing power at all.
However, this Wan Cheng Yu is the same age as her, and it stands to reason that she has not yet reached the age of marriage, and her father's arrangement is probably due to the promotion of the Qi and Gu families.
She turned around and walked into the room, took two steps and saw Gu Lousheng's clenched hands, her eyebrows flashed a trace of unbearability, and finally said: "If you like it, go for it, the Song family is your faction, if Prime Minister Gu is unwilling, this Song girl will naturally not be able to marry." ”
"Let's go back, I won't run around today, I don't need guards."
With that, Wuguo walked in with her skirt.
Occasionally, a few jackdaws flew by in the courtyard, and it seemed that winter was about to begin.
It was winter when I wanted to see it, and now it's been seven or eight years.
In the past seven or eight years, except for special circumstances, Changbo would stand in her dormitory for three hours every day, and now because of this to avoid suspicion, she has not seen anyone for several days.
She pounded her chin, unsure of what had happened that night.
Asked Hongdou, this little girl herself was also confused, asked the eldest uncle, and the others were not there, so she asked the attendant...... He had to dare to say it, too.
Looking out the window depressedly, I couldn't help but guess what happened that day.
When Cheng Yang walked in, he raised his hand and rewarded his sister with a critical blow, and naturally took off his robe and threw it to the red bean.
Wuguo frowned: "The red bean girl is innocent, don't deliberately get close to her." ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Especially Hongdou, whose face was flushed, turned around and ran out with his robe in his arms.
Wuguo was helpless about Hongdou's actions, pursed his lips and looked at the eldest prince, his eyes signaling that he had something to say quickly.
Cheng Yang coughed and calmed his breath before saying, "The envoy will go back tomorrow, and my father will let us arrange the send-off." ”
Wuguo nodded, the days have been counted, the time of the mission in Yingnan this time has already passed half a month, and I don't feel a headache when I think of the recent situation of the two countries.
The old emperor of Beixue did not say anything about lewdness, and his favorite concubine Hua Shi even dissuaded the emperor from sending a large army to attack Yingnan day and night, so as to be majestic. If it weren't for the ministers of the court and the central government's strong dissuasion, coupled with the third prince's own admonition to his mother's concubine, I am afraid this matter would have been done long ago.
But everyone knows that there are some things, once a seed is planted, it is easy to take root and sprout.
Although the country should be prosperous, the treasury has already been depleted by years of military affairs, and with the posture of his father and emperor favoring him, this country is afraid that it will be poor and white for a long time.
Prime Minister Gu Ting and the relatives of the noble concubine are eyeing the powerful, so no matter what, this war cannot happen.
Thinking of the ancient court, Wuguo suddenly raised his head and looked at his brother: "Hasn't the Gu family always been at odds with the Qi family, why didn't he object to the emperor's marriage." ”
After speaking, he glared at the plum tree in the courtyard that had already withered branches: "If he objected, with the trust of his father, I am afraid he would not agree to this." ”
Unless, the old fox agreed.
Cheng Yang rubbed his sister's head, and he couldn't say anything more about her opinion of Gu Ting.
I just hope that one day my sister can understand Prime Minister Gu's personality and know that in this court, anyone can be treasonous, but he won't.
On that day, he was outside the imperial study, and his father and Gu Ting met.
Ying Nanhuang asked him: "What do you think of the Qi family's marriage proposal?" ”
Gu Ting sat on the chair chartered by Wan Qiyang, and bowed his head: "No matter what, on the surface, the relationship between the two families can be eased, and it is important to contain the partisan dispute, and it is better to integrate." ”
Wan Qiyang lowered his head and raised his hand to draw on the paper.
"It's just that I pity the youngest daughter of the Song family, although Cheng Yu is kind, but his mother is a ruthless character."
After speaking, the pen in his hand was drawn, and the short-legged little rooster appeared on the rice paper.
Wan Qiyang nodded with satisfaction: "Come, Prime Minister, look, how are my paintings?" ”
"Very good." Gu Ting's face was expressionless.
"I also think it's very good, this phoenix is circling, it really has an atmospheric appearance."
Turning his head, he thought that the calligraphy of the ancient court was very good, so he handed the painting to him: "I heard that your calligraphy and painting are very good, and I will hand over the inscription of this painting to you." ”
Gu Ting glanced at the emperor, looked at the words again, and his beard shook for a long time before he held back a "good".
The scene of that day, no matter how you look at it, is the scene of the emperor and the virtuous ministers. Except, of course, for that chick figure.
His wife told him that when His Majesty took over the imperial power, the country was rotten to the bone.
His Majesty, who had the support of the Lin family, had to marry the daughter of the general Qi family in order to stabilize the government, and made her his favorite concubine.
In order to check and balance the government, Lord Gu risked his life to win over the power, and became a generation of powerful ministers with the foundation of the Gu family.
Not all parties are disloyal to His Majesty.
These were the last words that Taifu said to him.
