Chapter 337: A flash in the pan
General Cheng now understands that Li Zhongxuan not only doesn't love women, but also doesn't even love men, but Shen Qiaoan has become a special case.
As for asking him to collect evidence to prove that Mu Chenxuan's death had nothing to do with them, he couldn't find any more clues.
Everyone knows that once Shen Qiaoan is pregnant, Li Zhongxuan will be overjoyed and immediately promoted Qiao An to the queen, once Shen Qiaoan is powerful in the future, everyone will be in danger, and everyone has reached a high degree of consensus on helping Li Zhongxuan choose a concubine.
But no matter how they arrange it, no matter how many beautiful girls they find to tempt, Li Zhongxuan is completely different.
As the days passed, Qiao An's child has been more than seven months, Guan Li and Huan'er have served her very well, and she seems to have completely settled down, not asking about the world, so she has to take care of herself and wait for the melons to ripen.
But she wanted peace, but others would not give her peace, and everyone was anxious when they saw that Li Zhongxuan was indifferent.
Finally, after discussion, they suggested at the court that Li Zhongxuan kill Shen Qiaoan.
Several officials said this, and these officials have always had a good relationship, Li Zhongxuan was disheartened when he heard this, and he was extremely disappointed in them.
He never imagined that this group of people would have such a confused mind.
"Your Majesty, bee flies are poisonous, this Shen Qiaoan will be the queen mother in the future, and the world will be in chaos, please think twice." The official knelt down, and Chen said the pros and cons.
"Makes sense, it makes so much sense." Everyone couldn't imagine that Li Zhongxuan, who had always been so protective of Qiao An, would suddenly change his mind, and seeing that Li Zhongxuan seemed to be loosening, everyone took advantage of the victory to pursue.
The next to strike while the iron was hot was the historian, who knelt next to the official and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, the old minister will definitely not put this note in the historical records here." ”
When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he smiled slightly, and a strange light flashed in his unfathomable black pupils, "In this way, you have really considered me very thoroughly, and I should thank you?" ”
"Your Majesty, please make up your mind as soon as possible, this matter should be sooner rather than later." Someone else suggested that Li Zhongxuan looked at the person in front of him, and after a moment, he smiled.
"I have always been a gentleman above board, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven when you reverse black and white like this? I'm going to show you a faint king today. ”
Li Zhongxuan turned around, wrote the holy decree, and belittled this group of people in the court, and let them go to be magistrates, and these people fell on General Cheng for help.
"How?" Li Zhongxuan was about to turn his face, "Does General Lian Cheng have any arrangements?" Or is General Cheng going to do it himself? Let's talk about it. General Cheng saw that Li Zhongxuan's face was not good, and he knew that it was difficult to compromise on this matter.
He has been in and out of the Dragon Court in the past two years, and he has seen a lot of things, so he understands that he can't contradict Li Zhongxuan today, so he hurriedly knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan.
"These people are really unreasonable, how can they sweat such a bad idea that has lost their conscience, even General Ben can't stand it." General Cheng first criticized two sentences of those people who did not know the times.
Follow, grab the ground with your head.
"Your Majesty, the last general has never begged you for anything, today for the sake of the last general's face, forgive a few of them, they actually have no malicious intent."
General Cheng was so good at talking that it was not easy for Li Zhongxuan to retract his fate, but he chose to demote the officials and the historians by three levels.
With such a drastic rectification, where did everyone dare to talk nonsense, but since this day, the number of people who have criticized Shen Qiaoan has decreased a lot, and even General Cheng no longer dares to have any suggestions that he thinks are clever.
During this period, Li Zhongxuan often went to see Qiao An, before they didn't say a word, and then gradually began to talk, but the conversation was jerky and brief.
Those things in the previous dynasty have long been gone, and someone has spread it to Qiao An's ears, Shen Qiao An smiled bitterly.
"After all, she is still a bit of a gentleman, no one is like clouds, I just want a statement, the death of my brother and father has always been like a cloud on my head, this thing makes me sleep, as for this court, what do I want the court to do?"
"Niangniang, the slave and maid looked at him coldly, as if he was not a bad person, he often came to make you happy recently, and he also changed the law to send you whatever you wanted, and the slave and maid think that you should be rich and honorable."
Huan'er said.
"Huan'er, that thing didn't happen to you, if you were me, you wouldn't be willing to be this canary without freedom." Shen Qiaoan sighed.
At this moment, Shen Qiaoan heard the guards and palace maids outside laughing, he hurriedly went out to look, and found a dirty beggar at the door, and the beggar was actually teasing everyone.
Qiao An also went outside, the beggar would play tricks and conjure up a big pear for Qiao An, Shen Qiao An held it, and said with a smile: "What else will you do?" It's all conjured. ”
Then the beggar turned into a fish and a bird. All kinds of small animals seemed to have been domesticated, lying quietly on Joan's shoulder, smiling.
"Why don't these little guys run around and fly around?" Joan was surrounded by such a group of small animals, and her whole person was like a forest goddess.
"Well, what else are you going to change? Go on, go on! Joan smiled.
The beggar who was conjuring suddenly turned his body short, and a piece of skin broke away from his body and fell to the ground, Shen Qiaoan was dumbfounded, and his eyes fell on his face.
"Lee! Li Zhongxuan? Actually, she just thought that the person in front of her was likely to be Li Zhongxuan.
"Joan, are you happy?" Li Zhongxuan smiled at Shen Qiaoan, but Qiao An was not happy at all.
"Did you prepare?" Joan shook her shoulder, let the bird take off, and moved her arm to let the squirrels and others go to the ground, and then said coldly: "You took great pains, but I'm not happy at all." ”
She kicked the bag away in disgust.
Only then did he realize that she had a better attitude towards each of the little animals than he did towards him.
But Li Zhongxuan was not discouraged in the face of the cold Qiao An, he still did everything he could, reconciling their relationship with the river, Qiao An was not unmoved, but he could no longer pick up the subtle heartbeat at the beginning.
In July, it is the sacrificial year of King Yu.
Because the little emperor and King Yu were on the same day of death, Qiao An was particularly sad on this day. From early in the morning, Joan was in a very bad mood.
This year, even if Li Zhongxuan ascended the throne as emperor for a whole year, he still remembers the bloody rain and bloody wind back then.
In order to respect Qiao An, Li Zhongxuan is ready to arrange a huge witch Gu activity to let the Duke of Wu summon spirits, which is actually common in all dynasties, but based on the same royal bloodline.
When everyone heard this, they began to resist and suggest frantically, and even General Cheng, who had been separated for a long time, was excited at this moment.
"Your Majesty, we can't sacrifice them, the group of emperors in front of us should be cut in two, you sacrifice them so solemnly, it can't help but make people's teeth cold."
After General Cheng's suggestion was completed, everyone also stepped forward to suggest in turn, and all kinds of words emerged, all around the theme of "can't sacrifice to the Taimiao".
There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.
It sounds like there are very few people who support Li Zhongxuan to worship the first emperor, Li Zhongxuan is in a very bad mood, he wanted to use this sacrifice to reconcile their relationship, but it seems that this hope is about to be disappointed.
"Your Majesty, don't be like this, their emperors are too old and too small, and they have made the country into a miasma, where can they compare with you? They are like fireflies in the rotten grass, and you are like the bright moon in the sky, please think twice. ”
"I decided not to sacrifice them, but after all, the first emperor and others are still relatives of the noble concubine, so I will adopt the golden mean and let Qiao An go to the sacrifice on my behalf."
Everyone was waiting for nothing more than this sentence, hearing the voice, each nodding.
For this matter, Shen Qiaoan decided to face the saint. But this time Li Zhongxuan resolutely refused to meet, he was afraid that Qiao An would be emotional after the meeting, and these messy things could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, don't be like this, if you go on like this, everyone will be embarrassed." Huan'er approached Qiao An and kept reassuring.
The pregnant woman's emotions are already quite excited, where can she endure this? The previous dynasty was destroyed, but it did not never exist.
"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, if there is no emperor uncle and father Wang Kaiyuan, how can there be a situation where all countries come to the dynasty today, Li Zhongxuan! Do you really want me to continue to be disappointed in you? Joanne burst into tears.
Seeing that the death day had arrived, Shen Qiaoan's face sank like water and he had accepted this arrangement.
As for the ministers, they were afraid that Li Zhongxuan would go to worship the emperor, so they simply tied up Li Zhongxuan with official duties, and when Li Zhongxuan was busy until the afternoon, the sacrificial army had already gone towards the imperial tomb.
No one wears linen and filial piety, and no one mourns.
After the fall of the royal family, the only bloodline was Shen Qiao'an, Qiao'an went to the Taimiao, and after burning incense and worshipping, he had a fetal gas.
"Niangniang, don't rush back, you rest first." The temple was built next to the imperial mausoleum, and Huan'er helped Shen Qiaoan to the temple, and a nun brought tea and snacks in.
Qiao An saw that the nun was going to leave, and leaned over and asked, "Does Master have something to say?" ”
"Niangniang," the old nun clasped her hands together, "the poor nun has been in this wilderness for many years, and she has nothing to do to see the fetal physiognomy for the local people. ”
"That couldn't be better." Qiao Ann hurriedly asked Huan'er to prepare, Huan'er put the small pillow under Qiao An's wrist, and the old nun approached Qiao Ann with a "sin".
After listening to the pulse and asking a few questions, the old nun smiled and said, "The child is fine, but please be happy, and a depressed mood is also a burden to the child." ”
When Huan'er heard this, she recited the Buddha with relief, "I don't know how many times I have told my mother here, but my mother always doesn't listen, and I ask the old master to open the sect and clarify the righteousness, and go to the demons for my mother." ”
Qiao Ann glared at Huan'er in disgust, Huan'er smiled and went to the door, and the old nun pointed to a pot of flowers on the table in front of her.
"Niangniang, the poor girl has also heard a little about your affairs, when the poor nun understood the threshold of life and death, she escaped into the empty door, and people's lives are like this epiphany, Niangniang and look."
The old nun pointed to the epiphany in the pot, and the drooping branches of the flower were stretched out, and the buds were full of fruits.
Between the words, the epiphany bloomed quietly and silently, Shen Qiaoan saw the epiphany for the first time, and they all said that it was a flash in the pan, and she was a feast for her eyes today.
The epiphany bloomed fast, Xie was faster, but with a flick of his fingers, soon the petals rolled down on the table, and Qiao An was stunned when he saw this.
