Chapter Seventy-Three: The Solution
Although Emperor Jing ordered the Jiang family not to cry in the Wuxiang camp, Jiang Cunduo, the Duke of Dingguo, fainted and could not take charge at home due to the pain of losing his son. The Dingguo Mansion was originally in a state of yin and yang decline, so it was a group of female dependents headed by Mrs. Jiang who came to Wuxiang to make trouble.
The Jiang family was killed shortly after Song Nanzhou entered the palace yesterday, and the guards at the gate of the camp refused to let them go, but the Jiang family's daughters and relatives poured into the nest, not counting the maids and wives, there were as many as forty or fifty people.
Crying at the gate of the camp for a while, Mrs. Jiang disregarded her identity and age, and immediately knelt and kowtowed to the soldiers guarding the door, and the soldiers guarding the door were so frightened that they trembled, this is the mother of the queen of the dynasty, how can they stand it?
Stunned and flustered for a while, they actually asked the maid to break through the defense, and the ladies of the Jiang family took the opportunity to rush into the Wuxiang camp, and then they were in the Wuxiang camp, crying and crying to see the murderer Song Nanzhou, otherwise they would not leave.
The Jiang family has such an identity, and they are all female dependents, even Mu Shizhong, who rushed over when he heard the news, couldn't do anything about them. Mu Shizhong wanted to persuade his wife, but he was caught in public. When he wanted to teach his wife a lesson, the Duchess of Dingguo and his mother-in-law immediately rushed over with tears in their eyes to kowtow to him and admit their mistakes.
Where did Mu Shizhong dare to take it, he was anxious to appease the daughters of the Jiang family and not make trouble, His Majesty had issued an order to let people investigate this homicide case thoroughly, but where could the daughters of the Jiang family listen, they had already determined that Song Nanzhou was the murderer.
This group of female dependents, together with the maid and mother-in-law No. 100, just poured into the Wuxiang camp and didn't leave.
Later, when Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Xinghuai's body, she cried even more, and fainted from excessive grief. Mu Shizhong wanted to take the opportunity to take someone to see the doctor and get out the old lady with the highest rank and the most difficult to deal with, but who knew that he was beaten up by the female relatives of the Jiang family led by his wife, and immediately fled with his head in his hands.
Even Mu Shizhong couldn't control this group of people, and the soldiers of the Wuxiang Battalion didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, the Jiang family set up a mourning hall in the camp, hung up white flags, cried spirits, and even had items such as paper money, fire, candles, etc., which made a good military camp a miasma.
It's not that I didn't think about going up to persuade her, but persuasion is useless, the daughter of the Jiang family is filial piety and white flowers, and she is crying there, either mourning Jiang Xinghuai or cursing Song Nanzhou.
Someone went to Jiang's house to deliver a letter, hoping that Jiang Guogong, the head of the Jiang family's family, could come to Wuxiang Camp to bring people back. But the news brought back was that Jiang Guogong was deeply affected and was seriously ill and bedridden, and he still hasn't woken up yet.
How can everyone not understand in their hearts, the emperor issued an order, Jiang Guogong did not dare to openly resist the order, so regardless of whether he was really sick or fake, he refused to take care of it anyway, and even made trouble by the daughters of the Jiang family.
Jiang Guogong asked not to move, Mu Shizhong couldn't persuade him, and the other people who married the Jiang family didn't dare to come together at this time to find trouble. Overnight, Wu Xiangying became a place for the Jiang family to do white things.
They want to go east and west in the camp, and if they are not satisfied, they will immediately be attacked by the maids. It's not that the soldiers didn't think about a tough confrontation, but every time they pulled out the knife, Mrs. Jiang would wake up in time, and she was about to hit the knife with tears - who can afford to kill the emperor's old mother-in-law and the consequences?
So the current situation of the Wuxiang camp is that the daughters of the Jiang family are angry and rampant in the Wuxiang camp, and the soldiers are unbearable, but they are helpless. If you can't afford to provoke it, you can only hide.
But they can hide from people, but they can't hide from the mournful crying spirit, the soldiers of the entire Wuxiang battalion have been like frosted eggplants for the past two days, and when they see the Jiang family's daughters and maids, they are like seeing a flood and a beast, and they can't avoid it.
Lin San and Tang Shaozong secretly told Song Nanzhou about the situation in Wuxiang's camp, and they saw the terrible situation of women messing around, and they still have palpitations.
These things are all said by the light rain in the past, and the current Qingluan told Wen Xiang.
When he said this, Qingluan couldn't help but look at this immortal wind dao bone benevolent and benevolent monk.
I always feel that this monk's words and deeds, frowning and pursing his lips are extremely inconsistent with this face, and they all give Qingluan a very subtle sense of familiarity.
Seeing that the monk fell into deep thought, Qingluan did not bother, and stood quietly aside.
"That's not good." Wen Xiang groaned for a while, sighed and said: "This old lady Jiang is the emperor's old mother-in-law, and she has a decree, although the emperor ordered the Jiang family to be calm and not to be impatient, and he will definitely give them an explanation, but a group of women and children come to make trouble, but I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to control it." ”
The emperor no longer likes the queen and the queen's mother, but for the sake of face, he can't attack the queen's own mother. In this matter, I am afraid that there are very few people who can help Song Nanzhou, and it depends on how Song Nanzhou solves it.
Wen Xiang thought of this, and couldn't help but be curious, how would Song Nanzhou solve this group of Jiang family daughters who didn't listen to persuasion and couldn't fight?
……
After Song Nanzhou left the accommodation arranged for Wen Xiang, he went to the palace again.
When the emperor heard that he was coming again, he couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache, turned to Gonggong Zhang and complained: "This kid is designated to come for the daughter of the Jiang family, and I can't help him in this matter-you go and tell him, I'm busy, and I don't know how he handles it." ”
As soon as Gonggong Zhang heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand, and he immediately smiled and said: "After listening to Your Majesty's words, the prince must know how to act." According to the old slave, it is still Your Majesty that you love the most in the world. ”
The emperor shook his head and smiled: "If you don't get my words, then the monkey cub will definitely be here with me today." If it weren't for the sake of purity, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him. ”
Where did Gonggong Zhang not know that the emperor was duplicitous, and Song Nanzhou, the son and nephew, was favored by the emperor here, but I was afraid that even King Jin would be difficult to match.
Others don't know the trick, but Grandpa Zhang's heart is clear.
After going out to spread the word, Father-in-law Zhang came back and replied: "The prince listened to His Majesty's words and went to the queen's palace. ”
Emperor Jing was surprised and put down the red pen in his hand: "This kid still dares to go to the queen's side at this time?" He's not afraid that the queen will beat him out? ”
He also thought that he would go directly out of the palace to the Wuxiang camp and drive out the troublesome wives of the Jiang family, but who knew that he actually went to the queen.
What exactly is he going to do? Thinking like this, Emperor Jing couldn't sit still.
Although the queen is his wife, because she was chosen by the queen mother, she has always been close to the queen mother, and because the emperor has always had someone in his heart, she is very unwelcome to the queen.
What do you not expect?
The emperor refused to even give an heir to the queen of the middle palace!
As soon as the news of Jiang Xinghuai's murder reached the queen's ears, the queen urgently summoned the imperial doctor to go over, saying that she fainted in anger.
At this time, Song Nanzhou, who had a grudge with Jiang Xinghuai and was the biggest suspect, went to the queen's palace.
The emperor was not even in the mood to go down on business, so he took two steps with a frown.
Seeing this, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly said: "If Your Majesty can't rest assured, the old slave asked my godson to come over and have a look?" But there is something, let him come and report it immediately. ”
Emperor Jing nodded hurriedly: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”
After Gonggong Zhang ordered to go down, Emperor Jing sat back again, "I promised her back then, and I will definitely keep her child and protect him for the rest of his life." ”
After he finished speaking, it was as if he was caught up in the memories of the past.
Gonggong Zhang said softly: "Your Majesty, you have done a good job, isn't the prince carefree and happy under your protection?" ”
Emperor Jing smiled, but he smiled with great sadness and nostalgia: "It is said that there are three thousand beauties in my harem, but no matter how many beauties there are, they can't compare to her." In my life, I have never seen a better woman than her. ”
"Your Majesty, the deceased is gone." Gonggong Zhang had the courage to persuade him: "Fortunately, Concubine Yi is still there, if Your Majesty is concerned, you might as well go to Concubine Yi Niangniang to sit there." The slave maid looked, after these years, Concubine Yi Niangniang has also turned around, didn't she let someone send you a cow pigeon egg custard early this morning? ”
When Gonggong Zhang mentioned Concubine Yi, Emperor Jing's face looked better, "This is also a stubborn temper, I don't know?" What do you say about concentrating on worshipping the Buddha, in the past few years, it has just been angry with me. I also spoiled her so much that she forgot where she came from. ”
He paused, his face still showing a little disappointment and smug contradiction, "She, it's not her after all." However, it is most like her. That idea is also very similar to her. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Jing's rigid silhouette seemed to soften.
"Yesterday, the slave maid listened to the palace people in the Yihe Palace, and Concubine Yi was afraid that she knew that her health was not good, and after listening to Princess Qing's diagnosis, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, in the past few years, I have been taking care of eating fasting and worshipping the Buddha, but I have forgotten the most important people and things - this is the most important thing, isn't it Your Majesty? Do you still remember that the cow pigeon egg custard is the best of Concubine Yi. ”
dragged the sick body to make food for Emperor Jing himself, which undoubtedly satisfied Emperor Jing's vanity. He spoiled Concubine Yi at the beginning, indeed because she looked the most similar to her, but after so many years of pampering and companionship, whether it was empathy or not, he also had some affection for Concubine Yi.
Because he sent his son Song Ting to the border five years ago, she closed up with herself and refused to serve closely, which made Emperor Jing very angry, so he let her go. He didn't expect that her temperament could be so big, and it took him five years.
If it weren't for the illness that made her turn around, I don't know how long I would have to fight him.
"She's not easy, either." In the end, Emperor Jing sighed.
Gonggong Zhang's heart moved, his mouth also opened, and he didn't take the opportunity to mention King Gong impulsively, but praised with a smile: "Your Majesty has always been so compassionate, Concubine Yi Niangniang must have been even more moved when she heard your words." ”
"She is seriously ill now, and even Princess Qing is not sure...... "In the end, it is a woman who has been with her for many years, and Emperor Jing also showed a little difficulty: "I don't know if I can survive this experience." ”
After a pause, he sighed again: "Her wish now, I can fulfill it." ”
Gonggong Zhang's heart jumped again: "Concubine Yi's wish, isn't that to serve Your Majesty well?" ”
"You old thing, what are you sloppy in front of me?" Emperor Jing scolded with a smile: "You can't see her thoughts?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang laughed with him: "Everything can't be hidden from Your Majesty's eyes." ”
"I don't know what the situation is in the border areas." Emperor Jing knocked on the table and pondered.
……
Song Nanzhou went to the queen's palace to ask for the queen.
The queen who learned the news angrily smashed the teacup in her hand, she was nearly forty years old, because of her bad life over the years, she was not favored by the emperor, and she could not become the queen mother's henchman, and she had no children under her knees, and she held the title of queen, but she was just a poor worm who survived in the palace, and even ordinary concubines could not compare.
When the queen reached her level, she herself felt sad and lamentable.
But what can be done?
She was so cautious that she couldn't sleep all night, and she had boiled herself up like an old woman, and she didn't even dare to look in the mirror in the past few years.
But she didn't dare to do anything, the dignified queen, and she had to be mocked by the concubines who gave birth to children. She endured humiliation like this, but it was just for the sake of the Jiang family. And now, the only male of their Jiang family, her own nephew who she regarded as eyeballs, was killed!
The queen hated it, and she couldn't wait to eat the "murderer" Song Nanzhou raw.
But she didn't dare, she knew too well that Emperor Jing loved and maintained this nephew - even the Queen Mother had to let the living Hades score three points, what could she do to him?
didn't expect that he would dare to find her in a big way. Is it true that she, the queen, is an ornament, and that she is so easy to bully? Is it true that her Jiang family is all soft bones and bullied people, do you dare to come to the door and step on her again?
The queen vomited blood with hatred, opened her red and swollen eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Let him in!" I'm going to see, what else is he going to do? ”
Song Nanzhou came in quickly, lowered his eyes slightly, and saluted very respectfully: "I heard that the imperial aunt is not good, and it happened that my nephew came to the palace, so I thought about coming over to take a look." ”
The queen clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and only then did she resist the urge to rush over and fight, and sneered: "Where can I be worthy of Song Shizi's imperial aunt, I am blessed, isn't my only nephew already dead in the hands of Song Shizi?" Song Shizi is still not satisfied, and today he came to ridicule the palace in person? ”
Song Nanzhou said calmly: "Whether the imperial aunt believes it or not, Jiang Xinghuai was indeed not killed by me. Now that Uncle Huang has asked Master Mo to track down the murderer, he thinks that he will soon be able to find out the truth about this case. The nephew came today, not to ridicule the imperial aunt, but to ask for something - the daughters of the Jiang family have gone to the Wuxiang camp since yesterday to make a big fuss, which has seriously affected the work and training of the soldiers in the camp. The imperial aunt understands the righteousness, and asks you to give an order, and ask Mrs. Jiang to leave the Wuxiang camp with the daughters of the Jiang family. ”
The queen sneered: "The old lady lost her grandson, and even His Majesty was sympathetic, and she didn't say anything, what can this palace do?" Song Shizi is afraid that he has entered the wrong door, and the palace will not be able to help Song Shizi, so please ask Song Shizi to go back. ”
She said this, and the hateful eyes couldn't wait to tear Song Nanzhou to pieces!
Song Nanzhou was silent: "I understand the mood of the imperial aunt very well, the real murderer has not been caught at the moment, no matter what I say, the imperial aunt will not believe it." ”
The queen snorted coldly, she didn't even bother to pay attention to him this time.
"Then the imperial aunt is here to make a deal with you as a nephew." Song Nanzhou didn't take her coldness to heart, and said lightly: "The imperial aunt has no children under her knees, so she must be very lonely every day. ”
The queen's eyes moved slightly, although she was not very smart, but she was not very stupid, Song Nanzhou's words made her heart tremble. She turned her head to look at Song Nanzhou in disbelief, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"If the prince is a prince, there is no way for the nephew. If the imperial aunt does not dislike it, I will persuade Your Majesty to let you adopt a girl by your side, the girl is more well-behaved and caring, what does the imperial aunt think? ”
The queen stood up "poofed", her face was flushed, her excited body was trembling, and the two bloodless lips were even more trembling: "You, what you said is true?" ”
It's not that the queen didn't think that she would raise one by her side if she couldn't give birth herself, but she knew in her heart that the emperor would not give her an heir, and naturally she would not let her raise other princes and princesses by her side - she occupied the back position of the middle palace, and the son she gave birth to was the rightful crown prince. But she can't give birth to a son, so even if she raises one by her side, the meaning of this son is different from that of other sons.
Emperor Jing was jealous of her and didn't like her, even if she raised the emperor, it was just a harm to the child's life.
She moved for a while, and then gave up.
But daughters are different from sons, daughters have no inheritance rights, and they will not fight to the death for the throne. Raising a girl by her side, comforting her loneliness, and giving her sustenance, this difficult day in the deep palace, I guess I won't feel too bitter.
However, Emperor Jing might really agree?
"The imperial aunt can choose a well-behaved girl in the Jiang clan." Song Nanzhou said seriously and firmly: "Uncle Huang's side, I have to talk about it, I don't think it's a big problem." ”
The queen breathed deeply and breathed hard, and only then did she temporarily suppress the agitation in her chest, "But my Jiang clan is now ......broken."
This hatred of children and grandchildren is not shared with the sky!
Song Nanzhou was still very calm: "The imperial aunt is wrong, the Jiang family has not been broken, but it is the branch of Dingguo Gong, which is unfortunately broken." The Duke of Dingguo can also have a child in the Jiang clan and raise it well, so that he can also glorify the Mansion of the Kingdom in the future, and send off the old lady and the grandfather of the country to the end of their old age, and inherit the incense. ”
Song Nanzhou's proposal, the queen couldn't be moved.
She gritted her teeth, looked at Song Nanzhou fixedly for a moment, and finally said: "If Your Majesty agrees, I will make an order for you to take to the Wuxiang camp!" ”
Song Nanzhou bent down and retired: "Aunt Huang, wait for the good news." ”
……
When Emperor Jing heard about Song Nanzhou's promise to the queen, he was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Song Nanzhou and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, now even you dare to be my master?" ”
Song Nanzhou said trickily at the bottom: "It's Uncle Huang, you have a golden mouth, let me deal with it myself, then now I have come up with a way by myself, if Uncle Huang doesn't agree, I won't leave the palace." ”
After speaking, he muttered unhappily: "Then you didn't see the daughter of the Jiang family, anyway, I don't dare to go back to the Wuxiang camp." ”
A scoundrel who relied on Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing had a headache again: "You are the commander of the Wuxiang battalion, how can you do it if you don't go back to the Wuxiang battalion?" The Wuxiang battalion in front of him has a little appearance, can it withstand this toss? ”
Song Nanzhou broke the jar and broke it: "It's not that I want to toss, and now I have also come up with a way to make the Jiang family not toss, it is Uncle Huang, you don't agree, what can I do?" I have no choice but to hide from you, and only you are here, and the Jiang family will not dare to make trouble. ”
Emperor Jing: "......"
He felt that there was some truth in this, and he was speechless for a while.
"It's not a difficult thing to do, but to give the Jiang family an heir to inherit the incense, and to give the queen a girl to relieve boredom, as long as you nod, the Jiang family will not make trouble anymore, and I will naturally not be here to hinder your eyes."
"Let's go." Emperor Jing glared at him helplessly: "According to you, it's all up to you." ”
He also instructed Gonggong Zhang, "You personally go to the queen to spread a message and take the queen's decree." ”
Father-in-law Zhang was busy himself.
After a while, he brought back the edict issued by the queen herself.
Song Nanzhou jumped up from the ground and happily left the palace with Yizhi.
"It's hard for him to think of this idea to convince the queen." Looking at the back of Song Nanzhou's departure, Emperor Jing shook his head and smiled: "I just said that this kid has an extremely smart and flexible brain, and he has the most ghost ideas. ”
Where could Gonggong Zhang not hear Emperor Jing's words that seemed to be disgusting, but in fact he was full of relief and joy, and he was busy and flattered: "The prince of the world was smart when he was a child, but he was raised by others over the years. ”
The smile on Emperor Jing's face disappeared, and the corners of his lips hooked coldly: "I don't know what she thinks?" Only Prince Cheng's stupid person can't see the pickled thoughts in his wife's heart, but a concubine's daughter dares to compare with her everywhere! No matter how she calculates, it is impossible for Prince Cheng's Mansion to be attacked by her son! ”
When he said this, he couldn't help but bring out a little anger.
"Then Xiao Qiao's thoughts, do you want to mention Prince Cheng?" Zhang Gonggong said tentatively.
"Not necessarily." Emperor Jing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "He himself was stupid and couldn't see the truth, so he let him go, and I didn't bother to care about him." Besides, what if I mentioned it, you don't know Azhou's attitude towards that little Qiao's family. ”
"Back then, when the prince's mother left, the prince was still young, so he always regarded Xiao Qiao's family as his mother." Gonggong Zhang is not sure whether Song Nanzhou knows his life experience, he always feels that Song Nanzhou knows, but this kind of speculation is unfounded, so it is naturally difficult to say, "If the prince knows the truth, he will definitely take strict precautions against the mother and son of the little Qiao family." ”
"No." Emperor Jing sighed, he found that whenever he encountered something related to Song Nanzhou, he was always indecisive, always afraid that he would be hurt, so he had failed her trust back then, "If he learns that he has no mother since he was a child, and the woman he regards as his mother will not tolerate him at all, and even want to snatch what belongs to him, how sad will he be?" That woman played some tricks, and I still let her go, if she really dared to hurt him and hurt him, I would never let her go! ”
Gonggong Zhang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is extremely worried. ”
The emperor also broke his heart for Song Shizi, and I am afraid that he did not care so much about his own son.
