Chapter 615: Old Man Xu's thoughts
Yan Qing and Liu Shouyou had a big quarrel and were not interesting, I thought that I could see Qin Lin being ugly and behaved, but I didn't expect that in the end, Huang Taiji lost his wife and broke his army, telling them to come and go in defeat.
Xu Tingfu, Zhang Gongyu, and Huang Jiashan, who had a good relationship with Qin Lin, stayed to say hello, and Qin Lin thanked them for their kindness and invited them to the mansion for a banquet for two days.
Xu Xinyi and Jin Yingji went home first, and Qin Lin whispered in their ears: "Hmph, two little fools actually dare to deceive their husbands, they are really bold, wait for me to come back and enforce the family law!" ”
The two beauties blushed, looking at each other, at this time, the sisters and sisters were affectionate, and they were really embarrassed to think of what happened to Tianxiang Pavilion at the beginning.
Qin Lin received the holy decree, he couldn't go home when he was done, he had to return to the palace with Zhang Whale and Shen Shixing to resume his life, Chief Qin sighed: "Alas, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, when Haiqinghe Yan Zhishi returns to his hometown, he can enjoy the blessings!" ”
I pour! Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng, who haven't left yet, almost didn't have a convulsion, Chief Qin's big-tailed wolf pretending is really speechless, is it an old minister of the Three Dynasties or an auxiliary minister of the cabinet? Next year, if you are not satisfied with the weak crown, you will return to your hometown, who will you coax?
But then think about it, people have already done the command of the second grade, the head of the North Town, entering the palace is the same as going back to his own home, others can't ask for it to go to the front of the palace to show his skills, he just has a light meal, Xu and Chen, the two big stall heads, only envy, jealousy and hatred.
Qin Lin entered the palace to restore his life, but there were no twists and turns, and Emperor Wanli was overjoyed: "I said that the Xu family is not likely to do such a thing, Zhang Jing, you go and tell the Queen Mother." ”
Zhang Whale smiled flatteringly, as if he was very happy for Qin Lin, but in fact, his stomach was very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Wanli.
How can I say that Xu Xinyi is a relative of the country, and in terms of in-law relationship, she is still Wanli's distant cousin, if she has an accident and kills the wife of the tribute envoy, is Wanli's face very bright?
Wanli smiled and asked again: "Mr. Zhang, that is hateful, I feel that Qin Aiqing should be allowed to play and put him to death." ”
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head slightly and smiled at Qin Lin's approval.
Qin Lin said more vaguely, Wanli's qualifications were mediocre, so he didn't hear it, but he tasted it, it turned out that Bahechi was just hands-on, and there was Huang Taiji standing behind him!
Altan Khan is seriously ill and is afraid that he will die soon, and Huang Taiji will come to make a pilgrimage, and everyone understands the deep meaning, presumably to determine his successor status.
However, Huang Taiji is the main battle faction of the Mongolian side, and he has repeatedly tried to provoke border troubles, and Zhang Juzheng needs a relatively peaceful environment to implement the new policy reforms, so he is very troubled.
This time, Qin Lin not only succeeded in smashing the provocation of the main battle faction of the Mongolian side, but also logically took down the number one cadre under Huang Taiji, so that the imperial court could justifiably execute Bahechi, which has done the best Zhang Juzheng could imagine.
Zhang Juzheng needs a peaceful environment to implement reforms, but it does not mean that he is weak to the outside world, look at the people used by this iron-fisted prime minister, the invincible Qi Tiger Qi Jiguang, and Zeng Xingwu, who exterminated the rebellion of the servants, which one is good?
Since Wanli asked, the first auxiliary emperor thought about it a little, and made a final decision: "The old minister thinks that Fuyi must be blessed with grace and power, Huang Taiji is arrogant and domineering, and it is very likely to take over the position of Altan Khan, so it is inconvenient for us to destroy the overall situation of Altan Gong, but it is completely feasible to execute Bahechi and knock Huang Taiji on the mountain and shake the tiger!" ”
Oh also, Bahechi is dead, Huang Taiji, the evil wolf, has also had a sharp claw cut off, Qin Lin imagined that when Ling Chi executed Bahechi, he must invite Huang Taiji to visit, the expression on his face will be very exciting, wahahaha~~ "Chief Qin is really very good at dealing with Yiren, in the more than 100 years of our dynasty, there are few such capable ministers," Wanli sighed.
The situation that Qin Lin brought was not easy, he appeased the Yingzhou Xuanfu envoy, and cured the arrogant Mongolian main battle faction, His Majesty's meaning in and out of words, of course, is to be rewarded.
Zhang Juzheng's eyes drooped down slightly, and said with a smile: "General Qin's Fuyi is really hard, he didn't return home all night last night, and he announced to the barbarians at the Wufeng Maritime Merchant Station that I am the king of the Heavenly Dynasty, alas, although General Qin is young, you must pay attention to your body, in the future, you monarchs and ministers will get along, and you will assist Your Majesty for decades!" ”
Damn, it turned out that he knew! Rao is our Qin chief's skin is thicker than the city wall and stronger than steel, and he was secretly broken by Zhang Juzheng, and his old face was hot.
Zhang Xiangye's resentment is deep, he deceived his daughter Zixuan and waited for him, there is a pair of Empress Nuying in the family, this is another East China Sea demon girl, when will there be a game?
Wanli didn't know that the teacher was witty in and out of his words, and honestly thought that Qin Lin was working hard, so he hurriedly said: "Zhang Cheng, take three hundred-year-old Liaodong Mountain ginseng and give it to Qin Aiqing." Although I live in the Great Interior, I also know that the people of Xuanfuyi are extremely hard, and Mr. Zhang and General Governor Wang agreed to pay tribute, how much effort and effort did it take? ”
Qin Lin hurriedly thanked him, but said in his heart that there was indeed a lot of work for this appeasement fee, but it was not hard at all, and it would be more and more if he did it a few more times.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, Wanli's words were crooked, he did it to answer the tribute back then, and it took a lot of work inside and out, but Qin Lin recruited the Wufeng maritime merchants but it didn't take any effort at all, what a blessing general!
After receiving the three hundred-year-old Liao ginseng given by the emperor, Qin Lin gave a very modest report, saying that this time the matter involved his wife, although the case was successfully completed, but if the court rewarded it again, it would inevitably make outsiders ridicule.
What a loyal servant! No matter how careful Wanli is, he was also moved by Qin Lin at this time, he is young, capable, and very modest and cautious, knowing how to advance and retreat, and abiding by the way of being a minister, which is really commendable.
After Qin Lin finished speaking, he wanted to slip away, for no other reason, he was exposed to last night's incident by the future father-in-law, no matter how thick-skinned our Chief Qin is, he can't stand it!
How do you know that after thinking about it, Wanli suddenly said: "What Aiqing said, of course I agree, but the Xu family was wronged and killed, and he was wronged in vain, and the court couldn't help but express it." Well, her father Wei Guogong received the grace of the country, and it is a good story that Empress E's daughter Ying served a husband together, so I will make an exception to reward her with a second grade! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing's lips moved, and they wanted to persuade them. It's not that they deliberately embarrass Wanli or Qin Lin, but strictly speaking, this practice does not conform to the patriarchal family composition, violates Confucian etiquette and court etiquette, and anyone from Shilin will not approve of it.
Qin Lin didn't care, he didn't know much about these twists and turns of Confucianism, and taking the second grade back could make Xu Xinyi happy, that's it, looking at Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, they didn't seem to approve of it, and they couldn't help but be unhappy.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise! The Xu family received the grace of the country, and the Duke of Wei guarded Nanjing because of the community, and the special purpose of rewarding the Xu family was not completely in line with the etiquette and law, but it could also show the trust of the imperial court and the grace of the subordinates. ”
As soon as Emperor Shoufu opened his mouth like this, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing immediately changed their direction and said in unison that it should be so.
In order to give such a trivial matter as not giving an order, why bother to fight with the head of the court? Moreover, Xu Xinyi was framed and wronged, this is a special situation, and it is not an example, and it is not considered to be a violation of etiquette.
Immediately ordered it to be done, handed over to the cabinet to copy the holy decree woven by colorful silk threads, stamped with a seal, and sent a eunuch to accompany Qin Lin home to announce the decree.
Others don't know why Zhang Juzheng suddenly agreed to give Xu Xinyi an order, can Qin Lin still understand? He put his fingers in his sleeves, grinned on his face, and bowed to the future old Taishan: The son-in-law is polite!
This time it is Zhang Juzheng's turn to blush, since the daughter of the Xu family, who has been favored by the country, has become a flat wife (the imperial court only recognizes the main wife, and the rest are regarded as concubines), and the imperial court can also be named the second lady, in case in the future, I, the daughter of the first auxiliary emperor, will be ...... Now that a coincidence has set a precedent, it will be easy to say that there will be one in the future.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and Mr. Zhang, the first assistant of the emperor, is not exempt from vulgarity!
Later, there will be a eunuch to pass the decree at home, Qin Lin will thank him and withdraw, he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there is an ivory carved palace waist card, which does not need to be guided by the eunuch, so he slowly walks from the palace to the noon gate.
"General Qin stays!"
This is a delicate and beautiful woman's voice, and with a bit of softness, Qin Lin looked back and saw that it was Zheng Zhen who had not been seen for many years.
She is holding her hair in a bun, obliquely inserting a wooden hairpin, looking pretty and colorful, wearing a simple green cloth long skirt, but also unable to hide her beautiful figure, there is no superfluous decoration on the whole body, but it is very different from a small jasper.
Seeing that she was still dressed as an ordinary palace maid, Qin Lin couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked, "Miss Zheng, where are you on an errand?" By the way, it's Yonghe Palace. ”
Zheng Zhen was happy in his heart, and secretly said that General Qin still cares about me, and he even knows which palace I am in on an errand.
How did she know that Qin Lin was actually concerned about the whereabouts of the future concubine, so she inquired through Zhang Xiaoyang?
"It's in Yonghe Palace," Zheng Zhen bit his lip, his face was a little red: "I heard that you entered the palace just now, so I asked for leave to come over...... Thank you, thank you for avenging my family and punishing that guy Wu De. ”
After saying that, Zheng Zhen bent his knees and blessed Qin Lin.
Wu De was arrested by Dongchang, life and death are unknown - well, the word life and death are unknown, there is actually only one meaning in Dongchang, people all over the world understand it, even if you don't hide from the cat, you also do push-ups, and you can drink cold water at the end of the day.
Qin Lin looked at Zheng Zhen, but muttered in his heart, she has been in the palace for a while, why hasn't she hooked up with Wanli yet?
Qin Lin knew Zheng Guifei, but he was not a computer, how could he remember what year and month Zheng Guifei was favored? I couldn't help but reach out and grab my hair.
Zheng Zhen looked at Qin Lin's appearance, couldn't help but smile, and looked at Qin Lin who was wearing a silk robe, a black veil with wings on his head, and a jade belt around his waist, and felt slightly gloomy in his heart: Alas, I knew that he was really the commander of the Jinyi Guard...... Qin Lin just thought about his plan, and said to himself: "The location of Yonghe Palace is too far away, it's not interesting, I want to find a way to transfer you to the Heart Cultivation Hall or Cining Palace on an errand." ”
Nourishing Heart Palace, Cining Palace? Zheng Zhen's eyes lit up suddenly, the former is where Wanli often stays, the latter is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, His Majesty also often goes, all the palace maids who have the heart to climb up squeezed their heads and wanted to go, didn't there be a rumor two days ago that a palace maid surnamed Wang in Cining Palace was favored by His Majesty?
Originally, when she saw Qin Lin, Zheng Zhen still had a slight regret, but now she was immediately thrown out of the clouds, and asked with longing: "General Qin, are you and what you said true?" ”
"Of course," Qin Lin snickered in his heart, this woman was really a master who was born to cause trouble in the Sixth Palace! nodded at her very affirmatively: "Don't worry, there will be news in two days." ”
Zheng Zhen was overjoyed, his beautiful and intelligent eyes were full of fighting spirit, although he was still young, he could vaguely see the demeanor of the king's landing in the six palaces and the mother of the world...... What harem Zhen Huan, the princess of the world, are all weak, my Zheng Guifei is the resurrection of Daji, the reincarnation of Diao Chan, and the mouth is bearded!
Damn, what a strong momentum! Qin Lin hurriedly said goodbye and left, and involuntarily looked at the Heart Cultivation Hall that came out just now, Emperor Wanli met Zheng Zhen, a typical weak attack and strong acceptance.
Back at home, Qin Lin deliberately didn't tell Xu Xinyi the good news, and was going to surprise her, anyway, three women in one play, at this time, Miss Xu, Jin Yingji and Asha were like three little sparrows, chattering about today's events, and they were all very excited.
If Qingdai comes back from the hospital, she will be able to put together a table of mahjong, right?
But something strange seems to have gotten in? Qin Lin glanced at Asha.
But he didn't figure it out with a mystery in his heart, so he went to find Xu Wenchang, the old man has been weird these days, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
It was rare that Xu Wenchang didn't go out to wander around, nor did he get drunk, but held a few books and looked through the annotations, and spread out the cover on the table, what are the books such as "Black Tartar Story", "Secret History of Mongolia", "Mongolian Origins", "Big Golden Note", some are Chinese, some are Mongolian, Mongolian is just that, and there are also letters Mongolian and square characters Ba Si Pa Mongolian, which is difficult for Old Man Xu to understand.
"Yo, Mr. Xu took the initiative to share his worries for the official?" Qin Lin slapped the table with a smile.
Xu Wenchang raised his head, his face full of confusion: "Share worries, what worries?" ”
"You don't know?" Qin Lin was taken aback, and asked carefully, since the morning, Xu Wenchang stayed in the hut and didn't go out for a single step, others were afraid of disturbing the world-famous old gentleman's study, and no one came to tell him what happened today.
Qin Lin laughed and laughed, knowing that he would be wrong, so he told Xu Wenchang about Huang Taiji.
"This Huang Taiji is the most ambitious wolf!" Xu Wenchang was angry, blowing his beard and said: "He is the eldest son of Altan Khan, the most powerful, with 50,000 men under his command, and he is basically designated as the heir of Altan Khan......"
Qin Lin shook his hand: "I know all this, but I can't figure it out, why did he kill Mrs. Dema?" Of course, it makes some sense to frame Xu Xinyi and then rectify the official, and use Dema's death to incite the Mongolian main battle faction, but it is too bad to kill his wife for this. ”
Xu Wenchang listened, stroked his gray beard, and sighed with a complicated expression after a long time: "A generation of grassland hero Altan Khan, I am afraid that he will die soon, I heard at the border a few years ago that he is not in good health, and it has been delayed until today......
Qin Lin didn't listen, and when he heard it, he became more and more confused, and said strangely: "I also know that Altan Khan is dying, but what does it have to do with Huang Taiji killing his wife?" ”
"The chief thinks that the heroes outside the Saiwai will have a deep affection for women like you?" Xu Wenchang glanced at it angrily, then picked up the tea bowl and drank water, sucking it with a chirp.
No way! Qin Lin was anxious, and grabbed the old man's beard: "Old man Xu, if you have a fart, let it go and say it quickly, and then sell it, Lao Tzu will pluck out all your bird feathers!" ”
It was also Qin Lin who was so unscrupulous, if someone else dared to do this to Xu Wenchang, the old man would have already thrown his hands together, let's say goodbye to you~~ But Chief Qin did this, Xu Wenchang could only grab his beard and smile bitterly: "Hey, hey, don't pull it, sir, don't you know that Master Shaoxing loves to sell a pass?" Okay, okay, I said, I said okay, it's the father who died and the son succeeded! ”
Father dies and son succeeds? Qin Lin let go of his hand, feeling that he had grasped something vaguely, and the question that had been lying in his mind all this time was suddenly solved.
"Haha, I see! Damn, Huang Taiji is ruthless, but he can be regarded as a hero! Qin Lin laughed and slammed the table.
It turns out that the father on the Mongolian steppe is very special compared with the Han land in the Central Plains, and there is a tradition of the son marrying his father's wife, that is to say, Huang Taiji, as the heir of Altan Khan, if the father dies and he will inherit the throne, he will marry all the women of the father, except for his own mother.
The third lady is actually the granddaughter of Altan Khan (Bad Cold), if she hadn't married Altan Khan, she would have to call Huang Taiji an uncle, of course she would not be Huang Taiji's own mother, then Huang Taiji would marry her as a matter of course after inheriting the throne.
At the same time, there is a particularly cruel convention on the grassland, like the third lady has a lot of power and a very noble status, if Huang Taiji marries her, he must be a wife, and the man will even kill the original wife before marriage in order to show his sincerity.
Qin Lin paced excitedly, "Regardless of whether the third lady is willing to marry Huang Taiji or not, just because of the close relationship between Mrs. Delmar and the third lady, she will not agree to marry Huang Taiji, thus harming Delma!" So Huang Taiji secretly killed Demar, which also paved the way for marrying the third lady, hum, good intentions, good means! ”
The third lady is not only as beautiful as a flower, known as the first beauty outside the Saiwai, she is also very favored by Altan Khan, and advocates the overall situation of peace, and has been loved by the Han and Mongolian people, and there is an elite team of 10,000 people given by Altan Khan, who is a Mongolian nobleman with both prestige and real power.
Huang Taiji married her, not only did he get the beauty, but he could also greatly consolidate his power and further expand his power.
"The third lady will never marry Huang Taiji," Xu Wenchang muttered.
Qin Lin raised his eyebrows: "What do you know?" Hey, is she really ...... with Wu Dui?"
Yes? No, no, Xu Wenchang shook his hand again and again, lowered his gaze, and said quite weakly: "I guessed, I guessed." ”
Qin Lin didn't know that under the stack of books on Xu Wenchang's desk, there was a golden jade plate tag, and the inscription on it was a poem with the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing: The Han army competed for the embroidered crotch, and one hundred thousand mink and one girl. Evoke Mulan's affinity and comparison, see who she uses arrows to see?
