Chapter 239: Cheng Yue is also a righteous son
Xie Daoqing looked at Cheng Yue, sighed, and said, "How could the Metropolitan Governor think of it?" Even the old body didn't think about it. Those who do not know are not guilty, and most governors do not have to blame themselves too much. As for this song, most of the governors should not sing it in front of the old body for the time being, the old body is old, and some things are better to forget. ”
Cheng Yue said respectfully: "Yes, the minister is provincial." ”
Xie Daoqing said: "The mourning family just saw Zhang Yan fall below, what happened?" Is he okay? ”
Cheng Yue snorted coldly and said: "The minister saw that the saint had a heart attack, and wanted to come up quickly to save the saint, but this fool dared to stop the minister there and prevent the minister from opening the curtain." The minister didn't have time to explain to him, and he also wanted to teach him a lesson, so he knocked him out. The saint can rest assured that he is fine, and he will be fine if he goes back and lies down for a day. As for whether or not to punish his sins, please ask the saint to show it. ”
Xie Daoqing smiled bitterly, and said in his heart Zhang Yan really deserved it, he had to stop Cheng Yue from doing anything for no reason, wooden head? sighed: "Anyway, the old body has woken up, so the governor of the capital should not cure his crimes." He's not disloyal, but he's a bit pedantic, and he must have known his mistake, so forget it. ”
Cheng Yue called Chen Baohe, who was still wiping his tears with joy on the side, and said: "Zhongguan, find a few people to carry Zhang Yan back to the mansion, and order him to close the door for three days to reflect on his mistakes, and after three days, he will ask for guilt, the Empress Dowager is merciful and will spare him and not be held accountable, go." ”
Chen Bao cooperated as the empress dowager's confidant and chamberlain, and only Quan Jiu and Yang Shufei could make him leave, but when he heard Cheng Yue's order at this time, he did not hesitate to do it immediately.
With such a turmoil on the day of the big birthday, of course the ministers could no longer stay and wait for the banquet in the evening, and the empress dowager needed to rest. Liu Mengyan took the lead in getting up. The ministers congratulated each other and said goodbye. The princes also withdrew.
Cheng Yue was not in a hurry to leave. personally sent Xie Daoqing into the dormitory, and took a pulse for her. After confirming that it was okay, I had to put pen and paper and write a few medicines, all of which were for heart disease.
Xie Daoqing saw that Cheng Yue did his best for her, but he felt that he had never been so close to Cheng Yue, and he felt very warm in his heart.
Xie Daoqing has the most secret flaw in her heart, that is, she has no children in her life, and Li Zong and Du Zong are very absurd. never let her experience the warmth of family affection. At this time, seeing that Cheng Yue cared about her more and more from the bottom of his heart, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and suddenly an idea arose, he wanted to accept Cheng Yue as a righteous son, but he hesitated again and again and did not dare to speak.
Others will definitely be flattered if they can get her favor, but Cheng Yue is very strange, he doesn't care about these at all, he doesn't need it, maybe he feels that there is a conspiracy behind it, and he should not force him.
Cheng Yue saw that Xie Daoqing was in a trance. Thinking that she was not feeling well, she hurriedly put on Xie Daoqing's wrist again. Finding that nothing happened, he smiled and said, "Don't scare the minister, is the minister delaying the saint's rest for too long?" The minister then retired. "Then you have to get up.
Xie Daoqing saw that Cheng Yue was leaving, and knew that such an opportunity might not be there again in the future, so he grabbed Cheng Yue and said: "Most of the governors are slow, and the old body has something to say." ”
Cheng Yue was slightly stunned and said, "If the sage has something to say, he doesn't have to be polite to the minister." ”
Xie Daoqing looked at Cheng Yue lovingly and said, "The Metropolitan Governor saved the life of the old body today, and the old body has nothing to repay." The old man was widowed at the age of twenty-five, and had no children under his knees. The old man heard that there were no elders in the family of the Metropolitan Governor, so he wanted to climb high and recognize the Metropolitan Governor as his righteous son, but I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor is willing to break the festival? ”
Cheng Yue was surprised and moved, and was surprised that Xie Daoqing's hand was very clever, more clever than letting Zhao Xian be a teacher. What touched me was that because there were no elders in his family, he always felt a little lacking, and Xie Daoqing lowered his figure extraordinarily, what else is there to find fault with such a stepmother?
After thinking about it, Xie Daoqing is exactly sixty-six years old today, and she is only twenty years old, won't she become an old godmother like this?
Cheng Yue thought of this and couldn't help but smile.
Xie Daoqing saw that the smile on his face didn't seem to be happy but funny, and he was annoyed for a while, and just as he was about to open his mouth to retract the preface, he saw Cheng Yue and said with a smile: "The minister is flattered, and the son of the minister visits the queen mother." After speaking, he got up and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
Xie Daoqing was overjoyed, the biggest defect in her life was finally made up, and she received such a great son.
Quan Jiu and Yang Shufei, who were waiting on the side, exchanged their eyes, and they were all shocked. Cheng Yue has become Xie Daoqing's righteous son, and the Great Song Dynasty is his own world, how many people dare to oppose what he said? At this time, they wanted to look long, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute and congratulate, and greeted Cheng Yue again.
Xie Daoqing held Cheng Yue's hand and said happily: "This is the best birthday gift I received today, there is no way to get better." Ordered Chen Baohe to take his own private seal, handed it to Cheng Yue and said: "You are a military general, and you are also a civil minister, the society of the Great Song Dynasty can only be preserved by you, and I don't have much to do to help you." This seal is my private seal, when you want to march south, if the officials from all over the country do not listen to the order, you can take my seal and give an order directly, and if you don't listen to it, you can cut it first and then play, and my son will have to put it away. ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly, and said in his heart that he might really need this seal to deal with those hard-boned people in the south, so he took it into his arms and thanked him. Then he took out a piece of repackaged chocolate from the pocket of his coat and said: "Queen Mother, this is a unique delicacy in Erchen's family, called chocolate, from 40,000 miles away, except for Erchen, only Zhang Gui's father gave him one when he celebrated his 60th birthday, but Zhang's father didn't eat it, I heard that it was collected." The minister's wife and concubine, only when everyone has a birthday, can get a small piece, now to honor the queen mother, it is a little heart of the son. ”
Xie Daoqing had never heard of chocolate, and he was very curious when he heard Cheng Yue say it so solemnly. When I opened the oiled paper on the outside, a black thing appeared in front of me.
Quan Jiu and Yang Shufei saw that Hunting was happy, and they also stepped forward and looked at the chocolate in Xie Daoqing's hand with salivation.
Xie Daoqing smiled and asked, "Is there anything else in my son's house?" Can you give them a piece each? ”
Cheng Yue said: "Then we can only wait for the birthday of the two nobles, if you don't hide it from your mother, there is not much left in the son's family, and I'm afraid the children of the son-in-law will not be able to eat." "Actually, he still has two big boxes there, but he won't take them out.
Xie Daoqing saw that this thing was so precious, and he couldn't bear that the two concubines couldn't eat it, so he broke off two pieces and gave them to them, and the three of them tasted it together.
After the three women finished eating, they almost didn't eat Cheng Yue alive. Xie Daoqing regretted dividing the chocolates, and the two concubines felt that it was too little, so they wanted to ask Cheng Yue again.
Cheng Yue's head shook faster than a rattle, and he resolutely refused to take it again, otherwise the harem would ask him, and it would be all gone at once, and he would have to keep it and eat it slowly.
Since Xie Daoqing entered the palace, for decades, no one has dared to refuse such a small request from her face. But she couldn't do anything about Cheng Yue, no one could change Cheng Yue's decision, so she could only find an excuse to ask him for it later.
Cheng Yue mentioned again that he was going to enter the palace to give lessons to the emperor. Xie Daoqing nodded and smiled: "You should also give a lecture to the emperor, these days it is Wen Xianggong who is teaching alone, and he is a little busy." ”
Cheng Yue said: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, starting in a few days, Erchen will enter the palace every other day to give lessons to the emperor until Erchen goes to Dadu, and then wait for Erchen to come back and talk about it." ”
Xie Daoqing heard Cheng Yue mention the trip to Dadu, and said worriedly: "Will it be dangerous for my son to go to Dadu?" Can Kublai Khan really let you back? ”
Cheng Yue's face became serious when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "What the queen mother said is very true. Erchen's trip to the capital, on the surface, is to propose, but in fact it is very dangerous. If Kublai Khan had given up, he would have to fight for the life of a son to get rid of his sons, and at least half of his sons would probably die in the north. The reason why Erchen wants to teach the emperor a lesson now is also to do his best to live up to the trust of his mother. In this way, when the emperor grows up, he can still remember that he once had such a teacher. The son never said this to his wife and concubine, and the queen mother and the two nobles should keep it a secret for me. ”
Xie Daoqing and the two concubines were so frightened that the six gods had no master. If Cheng Yue really died in the north, how could the Great Song Dynasty be protected? It's only been a few days since it was settled, is the war going to be rekindled?
Cheng Yue saw Xie Daoqing's face pale with fright, and hurriedly held her hand and said, "Queen Mother, please rest assured, Erchen is ready." When Erchen left, he would only bring 5,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 200,000 people would have been explained by Erchen. Wen has Yang Ting always takes responsibility, Wu has Zhang Gui leading the troops to resist the enemy, plus other Wenchen generals under Erchen, as long as the court does not cause chaos for them, it is not difficult to ensure the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. As for the sons, of course it is good if they can come back, but if they can't come back, it is enough to have a mother-son relationship with the queen mother, and you can't expect more. ”
Xie Daoqing was so moved that he cried again, and grabbed Cheng Yue's hand tightly. Cheng Yue was worried that she would have another attack, so he hurriedly comforted Xie Daoqing softly.
Quan Jiu and Yang Shufei watched with tears in their eyes, Cheng Yue in their eyes has always been a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, decisive in killing, and very tough. I really didn't expect Cheng Yue to have such a tender side, no wonder the wives and concubines in the family are dead set on him and swear to follow him to the death.
But then again, Cheng Yue is bent on going to the north, taking such a big risk, what is it for? I heard that he had already started exchanging horses with the Mongols in steel, and there was no need to worry about running out of horses, so why did he marry the Mongols? Could it be that he had another purpose? This man's thoughts are really elusive, and it depends on him.
After talking for a while, Cheng Yue said goodbye, because he was now Xie Daoqing's righteous son, so Concubine Yang Shu personally gave him a paragraph.
As soon as she walked out of the dormitory, Concubine Yang asked softly, "Can the Governor of Dadu not go to Dadu?" ”
Cheng Yue turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "I am the governor of Dadu, as the name suggests, I want to supervise Dadu, and the queen mother gave me Dadu, how can I not go?" (To be continued......)
