179. The county lord of Qingyang was expelled from the palace
It doesn't matter if the whole world is an enemy, it's enough for them to have each other.
On the second day, I got up early to go to the court, and I felt that I was undoubtedly the most blessed person in the world. Even the injustices and cold treatments endured in the past 20 years now seem to be just a small foreshadowing for today's blessings.
Ruan Qingzhi refused to get up early. This time, Ye Han learned the lesson of yesterday, and called Qian Yun and Juan Juan to come in the dormitory early in the morning to accompany her, refusing to let her be alone.
Ruan Qingzhi originally wanted to try the "husband" and was willing to come, but the two little girls were very loyal and couldn't stop talking to her, so she had to dispel the idea of going back to sleep.
So the day was filled with a long morning. Ruan Qingzhi felt that he was wronged, and he rolled around on the bed but refused to get up, complaining bitterly: "Why do you want to get up!" It's okay to get up! If you want to say that someone is knocking on the door now, or that it is raining heavily and the house is rushing and I am just going to get up, and nothing happens! β
"County Lord," a little eunuch rushed in from outside, his face was not very good-looking: "It's almost the same as the big water washing the house,ββ there is an accident in the court!" β
"Huh?" Ruan Qingzhi sat up.
The two little girls were also startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't Your Majesty say yesterday that the Marquis of Yongning couldn't be on his side for a few days? β
The little eunuch rushed to the front and said hurriedly: "It's not the Marquis of Yongning, it's the Queen Mother...... The queen mother broke into the court, and reprimanded the county lord in public for his unworthy virtue as a model for women in the world, and wanted to force His Majesty to dissolve the marriage contract and choose another ...... The daughter of a virtuous lady is the queen! β
Ruan Qingzhi, who had not fully woken up, took some effort to understand his words, and immediately turned over and jumped out of bed.
With Yun and Juan Juan hurriedly rushed over and supported her one by one, trying to persuade but not knowing where to start.
Ruan Qingzhi didn't need to be persuaded either. She neither resented nor scolded, nor cried, but sat upright in front of the dressing table and ordered in a deep voice: "Dress up for me, let's go and see the excitement!" β
β¦β¦
The court was indeed very lively. Although the voice of the Queen Mother alone has reached a deafening effect.
The Chinese military officials hung their heads and felt embarrassed and puzzled, and they really couldn't figure out how the gentle and elegant Empress Niang, who was as quiet as a shadow by the side of the first emperor, could become like this.
It seems that as a man, you must take good care of yourself and try to live as long as possible, otherwise the wife of the family may also become a crazy woman. ββMany old ministers thought the same way.
Ye Han didn't think about anything.
Seeing that the Queen Mother scolded for a while, he didn't mean to stop breathing, he simply threw off his big sleeves and hemmed his clothes, raised Erlang's legs and leaned back on the back of the chair.
This is not the emperor's manners, but the most common sitting posture when the gentlemen visit the opera garden.
It's really comfortable to sit like this, and you won't get tired after sitting for another two hours.
Ye Han beckoned someone to add tea and brought two plates of snacks. The cook on the small stove didn't know what to think, and even brought a large plate of freshly made barbecue slices, and the whole hall was full of aroma when the lid was lifted.
Hook Ye Han really wants to let them serve the pot of wine again.
Some officials of the DPRK and China were also aroused by the smell of worms, and they were embarrassed to look up, so they had to look at their noses and noses and their hearts, and secretly swallowed their saliva.
In particular, some military generals are used to being rude outside, and they are all excited when they smell meat like wild wolves, and they almost forget the etiquette of the emperor.
There were more whispers in the hall, and the Queen Mother finally noticed it, looked at Ye Han, and was immediately furious: "You actually-"
"Ah, the queen mother is tired, right?" Ye Han's back left the chair, "It's just right, it's not early, and all the adults are tired." Today, the dining room learned from the north side of the recipe to make a new barbecue, I want them to send some to the adults to taste, what do you think, Queen Mother? β
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Han, then looked back at the courtiers, and rushed up angrily: "What crazy are you talking about!" Is the court a place to eat? Those who are kings should think about the lives of the people, and this court is the place where you solve the people's livelihood and suffering! You are now the emperor, not in the northwest in the past, you can drink wine and eat meat at any time, and you are extremely luxurious! β
"There is no such good beef in the Northwest," Ye Han smiled, "The Northwest Wilderness is very lonely, not to mention cattle and sheep, and even rats are skinny." Occasionally, the soldiers were lucky enough to catch a fat yellow squirrel and beat their teeth, and they were all as happy as if they were celebrating a festival. β
The Queen Mother has only seen a mouse once in her life, and that was when she went up the mountain to worship the Buddha when she was young. It's been more than 20 years, and at this moment, when she thinks of that little thing with a round belly and pointed mouth and eyes that are round and gray, she still can't stop getting goosebumps.
At this time, the little eunuch outside heard Ye Han's words, and a dozen people brought in the freshly grilled meat slices, and the aroma wafted all over the hall, and immediately smoked the queen mother's chest for a while.
Ye Han saw it and said busily: "Don't worry, the queen mother, this is the best beef, not rat meat!" Now that we're in the palace, rat meat has become a rarity! β
It's okay not to say this, he said this, and the Queen Mother was full of the words "rat meat" in her ears, and she suddenly became more and more dizzy, and the little eunuch next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
At this time, the temple was busy, and there was nowhere to stand or sit.
The hundreds of officials and generals in the palace have already begun to eat, and no one cares whether their queen mother's dizziness and retching are due to frailty or other ulterior reasons.
Barbecue, some people love to eat and some don't, but anyway, the mouth of eating people is short.
At this time, everyone in the palace felt that the new emperor was really gentle and virtuous, with a good temper and approachable, and whoever said that he was not good was unreasonable.
So the atmosphere in the hall was happy, and the angry Queen Mother became more and more out of place.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and finally someone moved a chair to invite the Queen Mother to take a seat.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately continued to scold: "In the world, how many state affairs are waiting for you to deal with, but you leave the people alone, and only care about munching on yourself here?" What kind of emperor are you going to be? The King of the Dead?! β
"Queen Mother," Ye Han looked up from his barbecue plate, "the retainers and the lords were discussing the affairs of the court, but it was you who insisted on breaking in to talk about something else, so it took a little time to delay you, so that all of you were hungry. β
"You!" The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned red.
She seemed to want to stand up, but she was afraid that the night cold would remove her chair, so she had to sit still and said angrily: "If you don't do such a shameless thing yourself, how can the mourning family come here to say more!" If you want to get down to business, give me a quick knife to cut through the mess and get that shameful thing out of the palace! β
"Get out of the palace, I'm afraid it's not very convenient!" There was a crisp answer from outside the door, and it was Ruan Qingzhi's voice.
The Queen Mother was furious: "What kind of place is this, and you can come here as a girl?!" β
Ruan Qingzhi walked in the door and smiled: "Queen Mother, in this place, there seem to be more courtiers than you!" β
"You," the Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "you still remember that you are a 'courtier'!" - Then you tell me, what's the inconvenience of kicking you out of the palace?! β
Ruan Qingzhi frowned, puzzled: "Why did you kick me out of the palace?" Didn't the Queen Mother just say that she would kick out the 'embarrassing things' out of the palace? The monarchs and ministers of the court discussed the government together, the queen mother, you rushed to the court to shout about the palace, this is simply the most embarrassing thing since the founding of the Southern Qi Dynasty, presumably the queen mother also has self-knowledge, so she said that she wants to drive herself out of the palace, right? β
The Queen Mother was so angry that she had a chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Ruan Qingzhi didn't wait for her to answer, he sighed and continued: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be like this. What you have done is indeed a bit embarrassing, but you are the queen of the first emperor and the mother of His Majesty, the most noble, and His Majesty will never be able to drive you out of the palace! β
"You...... Hum! The Queen Mother finally couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Ruan Qingzhi's nose and scolded: "You are so clever and talking, but you really follow your cheap mother!" If it really comes out of a small family, it's ......"
Before Ruan Qingzhi could answer, Luan Zhongcheng had already stood up: "The minister is brave, may I ask the queen mother, where is the old minister's daughter?" β
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and her face changed slightly: "The mourning family is saying that her ......"
She couldn't go on with the rest of the words.
As the queen mother, he shouldn't even be able to remember who someone's mother is. She deliberately confused and insulted the Jin family as Ruan Qingzhi's mother, but forgot that Luan Zhongcheng is now the mainstay of the court, and she can't be offended.
If you want to stink this tricky and disobedient little girl, you really can't start from her.
The Queen Mother figured this out and immediately said: "Her biological mother is a serious lady, but her stepmother may not be!" Luan Zhongcheng, your granddaughter has been brought up by the Prime Minister's Mansion badly, and when she returns home another day, you have to teach her a little more! β
"The minister respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother." Luan Zhongcheng bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed.
said that he obeyed the order, that is to promise to take Ruan Qingzhi back home.
Now that the situation is delicate, as long as this little girl obediently leaves the palace, she will never want to come back in the future! The Queen Mother had already calculated the next road in her heart.
It is impossible to change someone else to be the king, and she has seen it very clearly in her eyes in the past two days: the reason why Ling Han is unruly is because Ruan Qingzhi's little girl is on the side!
What phoenix is not phoenix, that was the topic of contention between the sisters of the Ruan family a while ago! Do you think anyone still mentions this stubble?
Whoever sits on the throne of the queen is the phoenix of Nanqi!
Wait for this obscure one, and then choose another well-behaved and obedient person to enter the palace, what emperor is not at her disposal at that time!
The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the happier she became, and she had already begun to calculate which niece in her mother's family was the most suitable.
At this time, Luan Zhongcheng, who was "honest and responsible", opened his mouth again: "The minister and his wife have been distressed recently, and I feel that the county lord of Qingyang has a rebellious temperament, and it is really difficult to deal with all kinds of troubles in the palace. And I am glad that now that the Queen Mother is gracious enough to allow her to return home, the ministers must redouble their love and prudent consideration, and must choose a tolerant and benevolent family for her to marry, so as not to lose their favor with her uncle and aunt in the future, and make jokes to fall into the mouth. β
He said these words without hurry, as calm and calm as ever. The Queen Mother liked his attitude very much at first, but at this moment, she tasted it but felt that it was wrong.
Why, her order is to take this girl home and teach her well, how does this old thing mean that she wants to find a "tolerant and benevolent" good person for this girl to marry? Does this mean that she is an intolerant and unkind evil mother-in-law?
And, get married? How can a woman who has been involved with the emperor get married? Who would dare to marry?
The Queen Mother felt that what Luan Zhongcheng said was simply crazy, but the officials in the court and China suddenly became agitated.
Qingyang County mainly returns to the house to marry again?
The emperor's woman, the fate of the phoenix, wants to marry another family?
It stands to reason that no one will dare to marry such an identity, but the corresponding fact is that once someone dares to marry, it will become a big deal.
"The county lord of Qingyang can't marry another!" Soon, some officials reacted and shouted urgently.
The people who were still in a daze immediately came to their senses and immediately picked up, gossiping:
"The marriage of the county lord of Qingyang was decided by the first emperor, and now this marriage is not counted, how can the ministers see the first emperor underground!"
"The county lord of Qingyang has made great contributions to the imperial court, even if he is a little immoral, it is a flaw and cannot be expelled!"
"How could the county lord of Qingyang ever have anything immoral? His Majesty's serious injuries have not healed, and the county lord is close to the sick, this is where the county lord attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and you actually attack the county lord with this, and your conscience is at ease? β
β¦β¦
In the hall, you and I are noisy, and Ruan Qingzhi himself doesn't have much room to speak. She walked to Ye Han's side a little helplessly and asked in a low voice, "How did you buy so many people?" β
Ye Han looked at her and smiled, "I didn't buy them. They are all genuinely impressed by your character. β
Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help but sneer.
How could she not know that her character was so good? Isn't it time for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to accuse her of being a demon girl?
At this time, the discussion in the hall did not calm down, and the Queen Mother was already so angry that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she staggered as if she would fall down at any time.
The little eunuch next to her couldn't help calling the "Queen Mother" in a panic, Ye Han didn't care, just looked at Ruan Qingzhi intently, and her eyes were full of smiles: "You rarely dress up so hard." Is it intended to dump sentient beings today? β
Ruan Qingzhi blushed inexplicably, hurriedly turned his head to avoid his gaze, and said awkwardly: "Where do I have the ability to dump sentient beings!" I just think that if I want to come out to meet people, I will try not to be ashamed if I can! β
"No shame." Ye Han looked serious, "The country is beautiful and fragrant, and it is worthy of the world." β
Ruan Qingzhi wanted to purse her lips to show her disdain, but she felt that the back of her ears was somehow hot.
Ye Han still looked at her with a smile, deaf to the noise in the hall, as if no one else existed.
Ruan Qingzhi was stared at by him for a long time, and gradually forgot the nervousness in his stomach when he came, and his heart calmed down.
If the Queen Mother wants to get rid of her, it's impossible! Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are helping her speak, of course, it can't all be because she "has made great contributions to the court", it must be because she did something in the cold and dark.
It seems that in the future, she won't need to go into battle at any time and quarrel with people in a cross-waisted shrew.
It tastes good, too.
Of course, the Queen Mother felt that it tasted very bad. She couldn't figure out how the Taoist gentlemen in the court who couldn't hold sand in their eyes suddenly learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they couldn't even take the ugly thing that was rumored in the palace to heart?
It can't really be bought by this plate of barbecue, right?
The queen mother gradually felt uneasy in her heart, and it was difficult to ask the ministers of the court, so she had to turn to Ruan Qingzhi again, put on the majestic momentum of the queen of the dynasty, and said sharply: "Lord Qingyang, do you know what is wrong?" β
"The courtiers know their mistakes." Ruan Qingzhi honestly bowed her head, "The courtiers thought that they were determined to follow Your Majesty in this life, so it was inevitable that they would pay all their attention to Your Majesty, and they never felt inappropriate to serve the decoction and eat together. Now the Queen Mother reminded that the courtiers knew that they were wrong, and when they remarried others in the future, they would be careful to restrain themselves and dare not be as wholehearted as this. β
"You!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she fell back in anger before she finished speaking, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Clever tongue is like a spring!" Mourning ...... The mourning family only said that they wanted to drive you out of the palace, how could they have said that you were allowed to marry someone else?! β
Ruan Qingzhi lowered her eyes, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was begging for perfection: "The queen mother said no, the courtiers don't marry." Deal...... And one more dead. β
The corners of the Queen Mother's lips moved and she was about to laugh, and the old ministers in the hall exclaimed: "The county lord of Qingyang can't die!" β
Yes, the county lord of Qingyang can't die. The crowd reacted immediately.
At the beginning, the sons of the first emperor seized the heir, and most of them were optimistic about King Rui and King Jin, but the county lord of Qingyang has always stood firmly by King Li's side, and then King Li has been like God to help him pass all the way and sit on the country, what does this mean?
It is said that the fate of the phoenix is indeed a thing, and the county lord of Qingyang is the lucky star of Southern Qi!
Such a girl must not only not die, but must be offered with extra care and carefully fed!
The attitude of the ministers was already very clear, the queen mother couldn't ask for help, so she turned around and looked at Ye Han again, but saw that the latter was holding Ruan Qingzhi's hand, staring intently at the foxy little face, looking like she was obsessed with women and had no intention of going to politics.
The Queen Mother suddenly became angry again, stepped forward aggressively, pointed at Ruan Qingzhi's nose and scolded: "You are a fox at a young age, is this worth it?" You don't have to sell miserably, the mourner knows your thoughts! You can stay with the emperor if you want to, you don't have to think about it anymore, the mourning family can only allow you to be a concubine at most, you'd better restrain yourself, and don't do anything that humiliates the royal family! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall frowned.
Ye Han obviously has no patience anymore, but he has no choice but to be pressed by "filial piety", and he can't reprimand the Queen Mother in public, so he can only wait for her old man to shake enough and go back to rest by herself.
Ruan Qingzhi felt that the Queen Mother was completely unreasonable, and she really couldn't figure out what medicine her old man had taken wrong.
Just wondering, she suddenly felt a dizziness in front of her, and she involuntarily stumbled back.
At the same time, there was an exclamation in the hall, and Ye Han stood up even more out of shape, stretched out his hand to catch Ruan Qingzhi, who was about to fall, and hugged him in his arms.
Ruan Qingzhi wanted to ask, "What's going on", but couldn't say it. Her gaze was fixed on the beautifully decorated beam, and she knew nothing behind it.
