Chapter 40: The Fox Fake Tiger
Shi Min was silent for a while, and then said, "Father, there is something unknown about the child. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What's the matter?"
"This Uncle Qin has lived in the house for less than a month, how can he seem to be familiar with his father as if he has been friends for decades, could it be that his father and Uncle Qin have known each other before?"
Shi Zhan smiled and said, "I haven't known him as long as you, how could I have known him before?" ”
"Then why do I see that my father and uncle seem to have a good chat and get along well."
"That's naturally because this Mr. Qin has something worthy of his father's admiration, so his father treats him as scheduled."
Shi Min asked with some surprise: "Father Wen Taowuluo, the entire Zhao Kingdom, the child has never seen anyone his father admires, how can this Uncle Qin make his father respectful?" ”
Shi Zhan asked Shi Min rhetorically: "As far as you know, what kind of person is this Mr. Qin?" ”
"The child has chatted with the old man a few times, judging his words and deeds, there must be some knowledgeable people, and the rest, the child really hasn't found anything special ......"
"That's because you have too little experience, this Mr. Qin is not simply a little knowledgeable, according to my father's contact and understanding with him in the past few days. Both father and daughter are kind-hearted people, and Mr. Qin can be said to be a well-read and knowledgeable person, who can often have his own unique views on things. This person is really a master who was not born, he can have a strategy for governing the country in his chest, and he can speak the way of Confucius and Mencius in his mouth, which is rare in the world, and you have to humbly ask Mr. Qin for advice in the future. ”
"Then my father can recommend Uncle Qin to His Majesty to join the court as an official, so that his knowledge is not in vain."
Shi Zhan smiled bitterly and said: "My father has already mentioned this matter to him, but Mr. Qin is very high-spirited and does not want to serve the Hu court anymore, and he can't be reluctant to be a father." ”
"So that's the case, this Uncle Qin is really inconspicuous, I didn't expect that the person I rescued was not an ordinary person."
"When you see him in the future, you can't call him uncle, but sir." Shi Zhan told Shi Min solemnly.
"The child remembers." Shi Min nodded.
"You go and change your clothes and go to the palace."
"Yes...... The child quits. “
Shi Min got up and saluted Shi Zhan, then turned and walked out of Shi Zhan's room. Xu San was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Shi Min coming out, he asked, "Does Gongzi want to enter the palace now?" “
"Yes, third uncle, you can help me prepare a set of clothes, I will freshen up and change my clothes before entering the palace."
"Yes......" Xu San silently agreed.
Shi Min changed his clothes, rode out of the door, and soon arrived at the palace gate.
"Min Gongzi, I haven't seen you for many days, and I am even more energetic." The two guards at the door who had been rewarded by Shi Min greeted Shi Min and said.
Shi Min smiled and nodded, naturally understanding that these people were just flattering him.
"Is Childe here to greet Your Majesty today?"
"Yes, the New Year will be in two days, come and say hello to Your Majesty in advance." Shi Min said, dismounted, and handed the reins to the guards.
The guard bent down and nodded, then carefully led Shi Min's horse aside, and the other guard said to Shi Min respectfully, "Childe, please." “
Shi Min nodded and strode into the palace gate. Shi Min estimated that Shi Hu should be in Hongguang Pavilion, so he walked directly towards Hongguang Pavilion, and didn't go far when he heard some noise from a distance.
Shi Min looked from afar and saw more than a dozen people around, and some people were crying, so he hurriedly walked over.
I saw the palace maid sitting on the ground crying, and said to a few eunuchs: "Father-in-law, the slave and maid really didn't mean it, please don't embarrass my mother, if you want to beat or punish you, you have the final say." “
When Shi Min looked at it, it turned out that there was a middle-aged woman standing on the side who thought that her sideburns were slightly white and her demeanor was dignified, and she seemed a little familiar, and she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Concubine Zheng, this matter is really not a slave to embarrass you, it's just that this rouge is a fresh thing that just came from the Western Regions, and it was prepared for Liu Guifei Niangniang, and it was knocked over by your slave like this, how do you let the slave deal with it?"
Concubine Zheng asked calmly: "Father-in-law, my slave accidentally knocked over the things of the concubine Niangniang, it was my teaching that was not good, and the father-in-law of the labor was annoyed to report to the concubine Niangniang, and I will personally go to Huilan Palace to compensate the concubine Niangniang later." “
The father-in-law who was the leader had a high-spirited demeanor, and said coldly: "Niangniang, this slave has knocked over such a valuable thing, I'm afraid you can't solve it if you don't go to the noble concubine Niangniang?" According to the minion's opinion, it is appropriate to let the slave take the slave away and hand it over to the concubine to deal with after all. “
After the eunuch finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned to the eunuchs behind him to drag the palace maid on the ground away.
The palace maid sitting on the ground was crying and crying, and she didn't resist, but Concubine Zheng suddenly grabbed the hand of one of the eunuchs and shouted, "You let people go for me!" “
"Niangniang, the slave advises you to let go, we also do things according to the rules, if you accidentally fall, the slave can't afford it." The chief eunuch said, pulling Concubine Zheng's hand away.
Concubine Zheng didn't stand firmly, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a while, very embarrassed.
"!" Another palace maid who helped pull hurriedly let go of the eunuchs and came over to help Concubine Zheng. And the eunuchs, seeing that no one was pulling them, dragged the crying palace maid and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Shi Min couldn't stand it, and stopped the eunuchs from afar.
The chief eunuch heard someone shouting to him to stop, and as he turned around, he asked in a strange manner, "Who?" ”
Shi Min walked to a place ten steps away from everyone and stopped, and then calmly replied: "It's me!" ”
The chief eunuch turned around and saw that it was Shi Min, so he hurriedly changed his smiling face and said: "It turned out to be Min Gongzi, the slave is old, his ears are not good, he didn't hear the voice of Min Gongzi, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Shi Min smiled slightly, his eyes were a little indifferent, and he still asked calmly: "Gonggong Huang, what happened during the New Year?" ”
Shi Min said, pointing to Concubine Zheng and the palace maid.
Concubine Zheng had already stood up with the help of another palace maid, and it seemed that her foot was twisted.
The chief eunuch Huang Gonggong had a flattering expression and said to Shi Min: "Gongzi doesn't know, this damn slave knocked over the rouge given to Concubine Liu. Ouch, that thing is expensive, the merchants from the Western Regions brought it over, and the ordinary rouge gouache is not the same, isn't this slave have to take this slave to the concubine Niangniang, and wait for the concubine Niangniang to dispose of? Otherwise, the minions will not be easy to deal with. ”
"So you pushed Concubine Zheng to the ground to the ground for the sake of the errand?"
Gonggong Huang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Shi Min was in charge of this matter, and continued to smile and said: "The slave is also careless......
Huang Gonggong said, walked up to Concubine Zheng and said, "Niangniang, the slave didn't mean it, you are fine." ”
"What's all right? Mother's feet are swollen, are you okay? The palace maid who was supporting Concubine Zheng said to Huang Gonggong.
Gonggong Huang glared at the palace maid fiercely, and the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately shut up and hid behind Concubine Zheng slightly.
"That's it?" Shi Min asked Huang Gonggong.
Gonggong Huang turned to look at Shi Min and asked a little embarrassedly, "Then...... What does Childe think to do? ”
"Father-in-law Huang's words are wrong, it's not what I Shi Min want to do, just like my father-in-law said just now, do it according to the rules, do you say this is okay?"
"This ......"
Huang Gonggong's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Shi Min walked up to Gonggong Huang and said, "Although Gonggong is the head of the Inner Court, Concubine Zheng is a third-class imperial concubine personally appointed by His Majesty, how should you punish a third-class imperial concubine who pushed a third-class imperial concubine to the ground?" ”
Shi Min pretended to think, but Gonggong Huang was a little trembling and didn't say a word.
"Oh~ I remembered, it seems that I want to strip off my clothes and scold a hundred people, right?"
Huang Gonggong, who was still domineering just now, heard Shi Min's words, knelt in front of Shi Min with a "plop", and said with a crying voice: "Hey, Min Gongzi, don't let Your Majesty beat the slave board, the slave is old, but he can't bear the hundred boards, he doesn't need a few hits to definitely kill him, you have a lot of them, just spare the slave, the slave really didn't deliberately push down Concubine Zheng just now." ”
Shi Min pretended to be helpless and said, "Gonggong Huang, what are you doing here?" I'm not embarrassed for you, just like you were going to take this young lady away just now, you are all doing things according to the rules. ”
"Then this slave, I won't take the slave away, childe, look, is this okay if you don't beat the slave board?" Huang Gonggong knelt on the ground and prayed.
"Father-in-law, why don't you understand what I mean, this matter actually has nothing to do with me, you have to ask Concubine Zheng if she agrees." Shi Min said, pointing to Concubine Zheng who was being supported.
Concubine Zheng looked at Gonggong Huang who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Forget it, Gonggong Huang didn't mean to, just leave Xiaojun behind, and bother Gonggong to report to the concubine, I will definitely go to Huilan Palace tomorrow to compensate for it." ”
"Slaves understand, slaves understand." Gonggong Huang hurriedly knelt on the ground and nodded, then stood up and shouted to the few little eunuchs next to him: "Don't hurry up and let people go!" ”
When the little eunuchs saw the chief eunuch speak, they hurriedly let go of their hands. The palace maid named Xiaojun ran to Concubine Zheng's side crying, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, just wiped her tears with her hands.
Gonggong Huang asked Shi Min and Concubine Zheng cautiously: "Niangniang, Min Gongzi, can the slave retire?" ”
Concubine Zheng glanced at Shi Min, Shi Min still smiled and said, "I won't bother Grandpa Huang, you can get busy." ”
Gonggong Huang hurriedly panicked and said to Concubine Zheng and Shi Min surnamed Li: "The slave is retired." ”
After speaking, he ran away with the little eunuchs in embarrassment.
