Chapter 484: The Irony of History
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "You are both good girls, and you will only be better to me." What about your mother? ”
"They went to the back garden to play, saying they wanted to catch a few fish to eat, and they said they wanted to make them for you." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Just let them be happy, they can also learn mahjong at home, it's full of fun." ”
Wan Ze said: "They want to learn piano the most, but Xianggong is too busy, and everyone is also busy, Yunluo and Baji are usually not at home, and they want to learn but no one teaches them." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "There's no way, look for a chance, I'm working hard, and I can't be idle." ”
Wan Ze said: "Xianggong, why do I always feel that the outside doesn't seem to be peaceful these days? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Yes, there are indeed people who want to make trouble." ”
Wan Ze was surprised: "Who is so bold? Isn't it still unpleasant to think that the knife of the fair? ”
Cheng Yue said: "It's not a big deal, a group of old scholars gathered some scholars and old-fashioned people to form a so-called poetry society called the Elders' Association, which blossomed everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty. The main thing is to oppose my New Deal, and even my invention. For example, some time ago, a child had an accident playing with matches, and three people were burned, two were seriously injured, and one was slightly injured, so they took the opportunity to make a big fuss, saying that the matches killed these children. Also, the glass window fell and injured people, they didn't say that the person who used it was not careful, they only said that the glass window was dangerous, and it was purely harmful to people. The funny thing is that they like the glasses I invented, but some people don't deserve them, and they scold them all over and over again. ”
Nangjia said angrily: "What a group of guys who don't know what to do, if it weren't for Xianggong, they would have become our Mongolians' slaves by now." If they live or die. Not a sentence yet? Ungrateful beasts! ”
Cheng Yue smiled faintly. Said: "I have seen this kind of person a long time ago, and there are many people who are even more shameless than them, such as Taiwanese, Hong Kongers, Koreans, etc., they are accustomed to it, and it is not strange to see it." ”
Wan Ze stopped his hand and said suspiciously: "Taiwanese, Hong Kongers, Koreans, where are these places you said?" How come I have never heard of it? ”
Cheng Yue laughed. said: "I'm just talking casually, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
Wan Ze and Nang Jia Zhen glanced at each other, their faces blank.
Wan Ze asked again: "Xianggong, is there official support behind the Elders' Association?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "Of course there is, but it is not on the surface, it is all secretly connived at and covered, and some even contribute money and efforts to help spread rumors, and they are not allowed to use my books to teach in private schools, saying that they are evil and crooked." ”
Nangjia was furious. Said: "Evil sect crooked? Who saved them? Did their right way save them? ”
Cheng Yue said: "During the Chinese New Year, they went to the temple to ask for a signature, and when they asked the Great Song Dynasty, they got a signature. Signed a poem saying that I would plunge the Great Song into chaos, and swords and soldiers would rise everywhere. When I was asked about my rise and fall, I was also drawn to sign that I had prospered and fallen from then on, and finally died. When I asked them what the results were against me, I was drawn to sign them, saying that they were doing the right thing for heaven and that they would eventually achieve the right result. They were encouraged, rejoiced, and acted more blatantly, and they also ran many newspapers in various places to refute the "China Daily", and in some remote places, they had the upper hand. ”
Wan Ze said disdainfully: "Idiot! How shallow it is to think that you have a plan with just a few lots! ”
Nang Jia Zhen said: "Xianggong, is there anything strange about the place where they ask for a signature?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "Yang Ting sent someone to check, it's nothing weird, it just happened to be drawn." However, the Taoist priest who released the sign is indeed their person, just waiting for me to order the arrest. ”
Wan Ze said: "When will the prime minister give the order?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "They want to launch it together when I feast guests, and I will wait for them to launch it." ”
"Activate?" Wan Zeqi said: "Do they dare to rebel? Just by them? ”
Cheng Yue laughed and said: "They don't have that ability yet, guess what, what do they want to do?" ”
Wan Ze and Nang Jia Zhen bit their lips and thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't guess any suitable moves.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Do you know about book burning? ”
Wan Ze and Nang Jia Zhen both knew, Wan Ze's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "They want to burn Xianggong's book?" ”
Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing and said, "yes, isn't it interesting?" If I hadn't had soldiers in my hands, they would have killed me too! Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and was scolded by them for thousands of years, but they have to do exactly the same thing today, but they want to burn and pit instead! Haha......"
Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen could both hear the sadness and helplessness in Cheng Yue's laughter, and gently drilled into Cheng Yue's arms left and right, caressing his chest. Wan Ze said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, they don't understand you, but we do, don't pay attention to those stupid people." ”
Nangjiazhen said: "Xianggong, those people can't be spared, they must be made to pay the price, they know to be obedient." ”
Cheng Yue hugged them tightly into his arms and sighed: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" ”
Three days later, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was decorated with lights, and the civil and military officials who came to congratulate him were in the road, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Mrs. Luo led the servants to greet in front of the door, Dingniang and the concubines led the palace maids to accompany each other in the main hall, inside and out, shoulder to shoulder, the royal family and nobles can be seen everywhere, the prince of Tuhuan has also arrived, and there are foreigners such as Marco Polo, so that Kuo Kuolun and Babahan, who are used to the big scene, are also dazzled and fascinated, and are deeply pleased.
Although it was a make-up wedding banquet today, Cheng Yue and Wan Ze still wore auspicious clothes, the difference is that this time they wore auspicious clothes of the Han people. Not only Wan Ze, but also Rou Niang, Lilac, Xue'er, Mei'er, Yaguli, Ziyan, Shiyun and thirty palace maids led by Qinglian and Pearl also wore wedding dresses together, and Cheng Yue's kindness to the concubines is obvious to all.
Cheng Yue came to the house where Ziyan and Shiyun lived together, and the two little girls had just changed into auspicious clothes and were looking at each other excitedly. Seeing Cheng Yue coming in, he lowered his head shyly, and the Xi Niang and the waiting palace maid hurriedly dodged out.
Cheng Yue walked up to them with a smile and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful today, let me kiss it first." ”
After speaking, he kissed and kissed on their lips, dipped a mouthful of rouge, and asked Ziyan to help wipe it.
Ziyan wiped it and said coquettishly: "I have to replenish the rouge again, can't the officials wait?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Then how can you wait?" Now you haven't married me yet, are you stealing? Love, when it becomes a gift, it will be considered Dunlun. Do you not know that a wife is better than a concubine, and a concubine is better than a thief? ”
Shi Yun smiled and said: "Officials always have something to say." ”
Cheng Yue hugged them left and right, hugged them to his chest, smelled the fragrance on their bodies, and sighed: "I met you within a few days of coming here, from beginning to end, you all followed me relentlessly, knowing the general situation, knowing the advance and retreat, but you are only sixteen years old." I only have one thought for you, that is, to grow old with you, and if you can, help me have a few more children, okay? ”
Ziyan Shiyun was so moved that her cheeks were wet with tears, Shiyun lightly beat Cheng Yue's chest, and choked up: "The official doesn't say it sooner or later, the makeup that was finally put on is all spent, and the official has to pay for it!" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Compensation, of course I have to compensate, I will compensate you well tonight, okay?" ”
Cheng Yue stayed with them for a while, gave them time to touch up their makeup, and went to the palace maids to see.
Thirty palace maids who were accepted by Cheng Yue gathered in the flower hall and were taken care of by Zhang Shufang and Zhao Miaohui.
As soon as Cheng Yue arrived, the palace maids stood up and saluted together. Cheng Yue smiled: "Am I too arrogant to marry so many beauties at once?" ”
Zhang Shufang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The officials are not shallow, and it is too late for others to envy them." ”
Zhao Miaohui smiled silently.
Cheng Yue took Pearl into his arms, held up her chin, and grinned: "Little Pearl, you are talking to me, right?" ”
Pearl looked at Cheng Yue stupidly and muttered, "Official, the slave is not dreaming, right?" ”
Cheng Yue pinched her nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "You have to give birth to me in the future, it's too late to regret it." ”
Pearl hugged Cheng Yue with an "ah" cry, and hung on Cheng Yue and was reluctant to come down.
The thirty palace maids were dressed up extraordinarily beautiful, Cheng Yue liked it very much, and said to Zhao Miaohui: "Do you think I'm not greedy enough?" Married one after another. I didn't want to marry so many, but I just liked it, but fortunately, they were willing to follow me. ”
Zhao Miaohui said softly: "The Metropolitan Governor is a great hero, so naturally he should have more sons and more blessings, and it is natural to marry a few more wives." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly, waved his hand to leave the flower hall, and went to the front to entertain the ministers.
As soon as Cheng Yue appeared, the ministers stood up like a tide to congratulate. Cheng Yue returned the salute and smiled: "I'm bothering you again, and it's hard to feel at ease." ”
King Rong smiled and said, "Where did the Metropolitan Governor come from?" The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion eats well, plays well, and doesn't get tired of coming every day, besides, the marriage of the Metropolitan Governor is a big deal, if my old man doesn't come to join in the fun, who will he brag about in the future? ”
Cheng Yue laughed and arched his hand: "Enough hospitality, please take a seat." The ministers sat down like a tide again.
As soon as she sat down and didn't say a few words, Mrs. Luo and the noble official Deng Weishan hurriedly came to Cheng Yue from outside.
Deng Wei saluted and said: "The Metropolitan Governor, the two saints and the official family, His Royal Highness King Yiwang, King Guang and Concubine Niangniang and other concubines will come to say hello in person, and ask the Metropolitan Governor to prepare to welcome you." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I know, the queen mother has already told me, Lao Deng, you take a rest first, and then you can drive with me later." He turned back to Liu Niang and said, "Go and call the three of them Wanze, others don't need to call." Liu Niang left in response.
Deng Weishan waited for Liu Niang to leave, and said respectfully: "Yes, Governor Xie." After speaking, he did not sit down, but stood next to Cheng Yue with his hands down, very respectful.
Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Deng Weishan is in charge of the Forbidden Palace, and he is extremely powerful, except in front of the two saints, how could he have been so low?
Cheng Yue saw that he deliberately degraded himself, and let him be, he turned his head and was just about to chat with Tuohuan, when a palace maid came in and handed over a report with a name: "Governor Qiyu, there are three Cao brothers outside who have come to congratulate and ask to see, saying that they are Cao Guifei's siblings."
