Chapter Twenty-Three: Love
The ministers turned their eyes to Yang Guozhong again, staring at him uncomfortably, who called him the head of the hundred officials, of course he would say the ugly words.
However, Yang Guozhong was very scared, because he hadn't slowed down after being scolded by Tang Xuanzong last time. When he found that even Tang Xuanzong was staring at him, he realized that he had reached the point where he could not avoid it.
Yang Guozhong said: "Your Majesty, the entire government and the opposition are talking about the fact that this fire was specially brought down by God to punish us. Because we did something we shouldn't have done, and it made people angry. ”
Tang Xuanzong said: "Then tell me, what did we do wrong?" ”
Yang Guozhong said: "The minister is afraid, please forgive the sin that the minister did not dare to speak." ”
Tang Xuanzong said angrily: "If you dare to say those things that you dare not say, I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king, reduce you to a beggar, and you will not be allowed to go to the rich man's house to beg for food." ”
Yang Guozhong trembled and said, "Then Weichen will say it directly." People are talking about it, especially those fortune-telling half-immortals, all of whom say that Jiang Caiping was born with a fate, and those who were engaged to her before were all killed by her. Now she was half cut off by the palace before she even stepped into the palace gate, and if she really married, I was afraid that there would be no more creatures in the palace. ”
Tang Xuanzong was stunned after hearing this, daring to love was the bane he automatically found, isn't this death.
Yang Guozhong saw that Tang Xuanzong's thoughtful appearance seemed to agree with his words, so he continued: "Those top demi-immortals, that is, those who are ready to ascend to immortals, all say that only Yang Guifei is a prosperous husband, and obesity can set off her husband's blessings and nourish her husband's life. And Your Majesty has such a person, but he doesn't cherish it, isn't this deliberately incompatible with God, if you don't receive God's love, God will no longer care for you when his heart is cold. ”
Tang Xuanzong said this, but he did feel that without Yang Guifei by his side, it always seemed that something was missing, and it was not practical to sleep without hugging the hoarding of meat. I often wake up from my dreams.
Tang Xuanzong told those civil and military officials who came here and stood stunned for a long time to go back to wash and sleep. Those officials hurried here to listen to the nonsense and rushed back, and their hearts couldn't help but be full of complaints, it was simply a waste of their Spring Festival supper moment.
Tang Xuanzong used great pomp and circumstance to take Yang Guifei back to the palace. And from then on, Jiang Caiping's matter was no longer mentioned. The first thing Yang Guifei did after returning to the palace to serve Tang Xuanzong to sleep was to beat Gao Lishi violently, which made the eunuch scream. While beating, he scolded: "Tell you to introduce women to the emperor, dare to rob me of my job, I see that you are not castrated, I will personally castrate you again." ”
Gao Lishi cried bitterly and said: "The concubine Niangniang's subordinates are merciful." Actually, I've been emasculated pretty clean. ”
Yang Guifei scolded: "You cheap bones, you don't know that you are stupid if you don't fight." You think that by introducing Jiang Caiping into the palace, you can use her to dominate the harem. The more I think about it, the more angry I get, and the more angry I get, the more I want to fight. ”
In the end, Yang Guifei beat Gao Lishi to the point of dying before stopping, and let him lie on the bed for two days. The reason why he didn't want his life was because he was Tang Xuanzong's right-hand man.
Liang Xingfa, Wang Lun and others specially made a big table of delicious things to celebrate that Jiang Caiping finally didn't have to marry the emperor. But suddenly, everyone felt a little awkward, could it be that as a woman, could it be considered very promising without marrying into the palace? This is too unusual, others want to marry in.
Liang Xingfa said to everyone: "You citizens who have never entered the palace will not understand how cruel it is to be in the harem. Think about how bleak and fierce it is for thousands of women to compete for a man. If Jiang Caiping married into the palace, fortunately she was pregnant with a dragon species, unfortunately this dragon species was miscarried by others, and the most tragic thing is that the person who caused her miscarriage was the most trusted maid around her. ”
Everyone sighed with emotion, and they were glad that Jiang Caiping was able to escape this tragedy.
Jiang Caiping also felt that knowing Liang Xingfa was the luckiest thing in her life, and a red glow floated on her cheeks.
Wanda wanted to insert a sentence out of place, and he said to Liang Xingfa: "Look at what you said, it seems that you were a palace maid in the palace in your last life, and you were born without drinking Meng Po soup in this life." ”
Liang Xingfa glared at him and said, "Haven't you ever eaten pork and seen a pig run?" ”
Wang Lun stuffed a chicken butt into Wanda's mouth and said, "Can't you even stop eating?" ”
Wanda is happy to chew a lot, in fact, he just likes this bite.
The dinner was held in an intimate and cheerful atmosphere. Jiang Zhongxun took advantage of the wine to announce one thing to everyone, and said that after finishing this thing, he would be able to rest in peace even if he was in the spirit of heaven.
Everyone suddenly felt extremely depressed when he said this, as if they were about to stage a parting of life and death, they put down their chopsticks one after another, and listened to Jiang Zhongxun's old man's important speech with a serious expression and a quiet voice.
Jiang Zhongxun saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly told everyone to eat and drink well, there was no need to be so serious, and it was not the emperor who went to court.
Everyone asked Jiang Zhongxun to tell him the important things first, so as not to swallow the bones because he was too surprised, if he couldn't swallow and couldn't spit it out, it would be troublesome.
Jiang Zhongxun drank a glass of wine and said, "Actually, what I'm talking about is a happy event. I won't say anything if you cry like this again. ”
Everyone hurriedly put on hippie smiles, and Li and Wanda simply exaggerated their mouths and laughed, exposing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Jiang Zhongxun smiled and said: "I have lived for most of my life, I can see everything, and I can let go of everything." There is only one exception. That's the question of my only daughter's fate. If she can have a good home, even if the king of Hades tells me to die in the third watch, I will never miss the fifth watch. ”
Everyone complained that he came and came again, can't he say something auspicious for himself, so that those who died late are embarrassed.
Jiang Zhongxun said: "Oh, when people reach this age, there are only two things left to consider, one is life and the other is death. Talking early can make your relatives mentally prepared early, and save yourself too much sadness. ”
Everyone agreed, and then turned their eyes to Liang Xingfa's body, making him like a star that could reflect his vision even if there was no light.
Liang Xingfa was not hypocritical, he also pretended to be cute, and he didn't talk nonsense, he walked to Jiang Caiping's side and knelt down on one knee and said, "The lover of my dreams." Will you marry me? ”
Everyone had never seen this kind of etiquette, and they were stunned. Li even thought that he only knelt on one foot to show his lack of sincerity, and suggested that he kneel on both feet, preferably three kneels and nine knocks.
Wang Lun and Wanda felt that Liang Xingfa was too straightforward, so he should prepare the dowry first, and then find a matchmaker who can speak well to help him say the words of the courtship.
Liang Xingfa suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case." I really should follow the local customs, and I always remember my hometown. It's all because I'm too eager. ”
Li complained: "Your hometown is too strange, why don't you respect tradition at all." ”
Jiang Caiping's face was flushed with shame, she lowered her head and didn't speak, everything was up to them.
Jiang Zhongxun doesn't mind, as long as there is a lover who eventually becomes a family.
Liang Xingfa said: "Just wait until you have time in the future, and then have a three-media six-job." ”
The people said, "It is also good." ”
It is that Liang Xingfa always has an indescribable weirdness in his heart, and he himself can't figure out whether he can settle down in this era that does not belong to him. In case the future returns to the future, what should Jiang Caiping and their orphans and widows do?
