Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Woman of the Palace
Shi Shi saw that there was no one around, so he said to Shi Zhan: "I have heard about yesterday's incident, although your approach is reasonable, but it is a bit excessive, no wonder my father is angry and punishes you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Does Your Highness also think that I have done something wrong?" When Shi Zhan heard Shi Shi say such things, he suddenly felt a little angry.
Shi Shi is not stupid, seeing Shi Zhan change his name to call him His Royal Highness, he naturally understands that Shi Zhan has fire in his heart, so he smiled and relieved: "Fifth brother, you have misunderstood the meaning of brother, those people of the Qian tribe who were killed by you naturally deserve to die, but you took it upon yourself to execute those people, which will inevitably embarrass your father." To be honest, I don't agree with the current governance plan adopted by my father to treat the Han people, after all, the people of the Qian people are thin, and among the people of the Zhao State, the Han people also account for a considerable part, not to mention that the culture of the Han people is not comparable to my Han people. In the final analysis, the world can be obtained immediately, but it cannot be ruled immediately, and the ability of the Han people is still inseparable from governing the country and leveling the world. ”
When Shi Zhan heard Shi Shi say such a thing, he immediately regretted his excesses just now, and said, "The junior brother misunderstood what the imperial brother meant, and asked the imperial brother not to blame." ”
"You say this and you will see the outside, although you and I are not brothers, but we have been taught by our father since childhood, and my father treats you no different from us, my brother naturally has always regarded you as my own family, but my father's view of the Han people has long been deep-rooted, and we are powerless." Shi Shi's words revealed a trace of helplessness.
"The younger brother believes that as long as we insist, with the sage of Your Majesty, we will be able to abolish the harsh criminal law against the Han people and abolish the unfair treatment of the Han people in time."
Shi Shi smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that he couldn't say it too clearly now, so he changed his words and asked, "Why didn't you see Xiao Min today, isn't he at home?" ”
"He went to the barracks with Li Chang and Wang Shicheng, and he will stay there if he has nothing to do in the future."
"It seems that you are very strict with this son, none of my sons can be as good as Xiao Min, it is said that some time ago he was in the palace, and he pulled the divine bow of Emperor Taizu away, and shot the bullseye one hundred and eighty steps away, so forced, I am afraid that it will surpass you in your heyday!" Shi Shi smiled and stroked his beard.
"It's just the courage of a horseman, and it doesn't rely on one person's martial arts to fight."
"Brother Xian, your requirements for him are too high, then **** back to the dynasty, in front of his father to discuss the strategic deployment of the Xianbei people, although Brother Wei is a layman to fight on the march, but Xiao Min's remarks, Brother Wei feels that it is indeed extraordinary, it seems that the first good general of my Zhao Kingdom in the future is none other than Xiao Min!"
"The second brother's words are premature, strategy and force alone are not enough to be invincible, what he lacks now is the experience of actual combat against the enemy and the ability to manage the army and lead the troops, this is not something that can be learned overnight by talking about it."
"So you let him go to the barracks?"
"Yes, he still has a lot to learn, if he doesn't suffer a little, he will think that he is invincible in the world."
"It seems that the next time you go on an expedition, you will definitely take him with you."
"This is nature, how can the tiger father have a dog? Your majesty's prestige shall not be buried in his hand. ”
"Brother Xian is loyal to his father, no wonder his father loves you so much."
"Your Majesty has the grace of nurturing me, treat me well, I Shizhan is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, eating the king's fortune, and being loyal to the king's affairs is the duty of a courtier!"
"Father, I want to be angry in the next few days, and after a few **** go to my father to plead for mercy, what you said today, I will also tell my father the truth about your loyalty, maybe the grounding can be avoided, I know you will definitely not be able to stay at home."
"Thank you second brother for your kindness."
"No thanks, you have a good rest, I won't bother you." Shi Shi said and stood up.
"The little brother has a lot of inconveniences and can't send them away, please forgive me." Shi Zhan said.
"You don't have to send it, you just take care of it, and say goodbye to your brother!" Shi Shi smiled and walked out of the room.
A moment after Shi Shi left, Xu San walked in, and Shi Zhan saw Xu San coming in and asked, "King Yan is gone?" ”
Xu San pulled Shi Zhan's quilt and replied, "Yes, I personally sent it to the door just now, and I didn't come back until King Yan's carriage left." ”
"I have never had a deep relationship with His Majesty's sons, but I didn't expect King Yan to come to see me in person today, it's really strange."
"According to the general's opinion, what is the purpose of this Yan King's visit this time?"
"I don't know what the purpose is, but he only talked to me today about brotherhood and some trivial matters, and did not talk too much about the affairs of the court, which made me feel a little strange."
"But King Yan has always been kind-hearted, even if there is any purpose, it must not be to harm the general, I don't think there is any need to worry."
"That's what you said." Shi Zhan nodded silently, then looked up and asked Xu San: "What is the surname of the father and daughter who live in the house?" ”
"General Hui, the father and daughter's surname is Qin, and they are from Jicheng."
"When I came back that day, I saw Xiao Min's eyes looking at the girl, and it seemed that I was thinking about the girl."
"The general has good eyesight, but it's not just the son who is tempted, the girl also has a good impression of the child." Xu San said and laughed.
"That girl is a good girl, just like Min Er's mother back then, and her behavior is also dignified and generous, it seems that her father is not an ordinary country man, at least he is literate and knows some etiquette."
"I heard that this girl's father is named Qin Huaishan, who was originally a clerk in Jicheng, a poor Confucian, and later fled in order to escape the war."
"You know a lot." Shi Zhan smiled and said to Xu San: "In a few days, when I am better, I will go to meet this Qin Huaishan." ”
"He asked me to greet the general this morning."
"It seems that this scholar is really particular about etiquette, by the way, you can't be lazy about the food and lodging of the father and daughter in the house, wait for Qin Huaishan's body to recover, if I am not in the house at that time, you can decide where to go, if he wants to leave Yecheng, you can send him some entanglement at that time."
"Your injury is not healed, where can you go if you are not in the house?" Xu San asked.
"Maybe Your Majesty will lift my grounding in a few days, and then I'll go to the barracks, Rong Ma will always feel unaccustomed to staying in other places all my life."
"Then let's wait for this year, there is less than a month to go before the New Year, so you can rest at home for a while." Xu San persuaded.
"Let's talk about it then, if Your Majesty insists on me being grounded for three months, I will have to stay at home."
"And if so? Then I would like Your Majesty to let the general be grounded and recuperate in the mansion. Xu San replied with a smile.
Shi Zhan was speechless when he saw Xu San's appearance, so he had to ignore him and continue to read.
In the Huilan Palace, Liu Guifei didn't get up until the end of the day, and she had a night with Shi Hu yesterday, Shi Hu left very satisfied in the morning, and before leaving, she also ordered Lu An to give Liu Guifei some rewards.
Of course, Lu An's witty words in front of Liu Guifei yesterday were also rewarded by Shi Hu.
Liu Guifei was sitting in front of the dresser, Xiaoxiang brought toiletry water, looked at Liu Guifei in the mirror, secretly covered her mouth and smiled, Liu Guifei turned around and scolded with a smile: "You dead girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
"The slave is happy for the mother." Xiao Xiang said, picking up the comb and preparing to comb Liu Guifei's hair.
"What is there to be happy about this palace?"
"Yesterday, His Majesty came angrily, and when he left this morning, he was happy, and the emperor's inner chamberlain brought some jewelry, saying that His Majesty gave it to his mother, which shows that the emperor's heart is still the most favored Niangniang. That's why the slave is happy for the mother. ”
Liu Guifei looked at herself in the mirror, and said with some sadness: "Although the palace doesn't want to admit it, compared with when I just entered the palace five years ago, my skin is indeed not as good as it was then, and now Your Majesty can still spoil me, and I don't know when the seat of the palace will be replaced by a new arrival." ”
"Niangniang, don't worry too much, at least for now, Your Majesty only pampers you, doesn't you? As long as Your Majesty only has you in his eyes, you don't need to worry about the glory and wealth at all. ”
"There is no hundred days of red flowers, I hope Your Majesty can pamper the palace for a while, the blame is only that the palace was born too late, did not enter the palace a few years earlier, if you can give birth to a dragon for Your Majesty, maybe there will be a chance in the future that the mother is expensive."
Xiaoxiang suddenly stopped the comb in her hand and whispered to Concubine Liu Guifei: "Niangniang, the slave maid has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Liu Guifei looked at Xiao Xiang in the mirror and said, "It's okay for you to say it." ”
"Although Niangniang did not give birth to a dragon son for His Majesty, she can choose one of His Majesty's existing sons, maybe she will be able to maintain a lifetime of glory in the future?"
"Pick one? What do you mean? Liu Guifei didn't understand what Xiaoxiang meant.
Xiaoxiang put down the comb, walked to the door, closed the door, and then returned to Liu Guifei's side, and whispered: "Niangniang, now that Your Majesty is old, it is impossible to be the emperor forever, but now that the matter of establishing a prince has not yet been decided, Niangniang can consider secretly supporting a prince, if this prince ascends to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can he forget Niangniang's credit?" ”
When Liu Guifei heard this, her face changed greatly, she slapped the case, and said fiercely: "Do you know that what you just said will not only harm the palace, but if Your Majesty knows about it, Your Majesty will definitely punish your Nine Clans!" ”
Xiao Xiang knelt on the ground in fright, put her forehead on the ground, and said: "Niangniang, Xiao Xiang's words are not to harm Niangniang, but to really think about Niangniang." ”
Liu Guifei was stunned for a moment and sat down.
