Chapter 212: Singing and Fighting
Liu Hong put his hands behind his back, with a smug smile on his face, turned out from behind, looked at Liu Xiu, who was like a chicken in soup, and smiled like a chrysanthemum, asking for more silver and more silver: "I said, I will definitely avenge this revenge." ”
"Damn! It turned out that you were the ghost. As soon as Liu Xiu's body moved, he was about to rush up and whip him. Before he could move, the two long guns were against his chest, Liu Xiu shouted, rubbed his arms, squeezed into them, grabbed the two long pipes with his backhand, and suddenly exerted his strength, the two tiger Benlang screamed miserably, threw the long pipe, and jumped straight with his bloody hand. Liu Xiu rushed to Liu Hong in one step, reached out and grabbed his collar, and raised his hand to hit.
"Stop!" Jia Xu screamed in surprise, rushed to Liu Xiu, hugged Liu Xiu's fist that was about to fall with both hands, his face changed color with fright, and said urgently: "De Ran, this is Your Majesty!" ”
"Your Majesty?" Liu Xiu was shocked, looked at Jia Xu suspiciously, and then looked at Liu Hong, whose face was a little pale and his smile was a little stiff, he was stunned for a moment, quickly let go, took two steps back, turned over and bowed down: "Servant Chenxiu, meet Your Majesty!" ”
"You're no longer a servant, you're a commoner." The Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses, kicked him with his foot, and couldn't help laughing: "Moreover, you committed a capital crime just now, and you are now a prisoner, and it is a heinous capital crime." ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
"You're not convinced?" The toes of the Son of Heaven were jumping like his mood, and he felt a special sense of accomplishment when he saw Liu Xiu, who had always been unruly, bowing to him all over his body, and his body seemed to be still trembling.
You are a tiger, you have to lie down, you are a dragon, you have to lie on your stomach, because I am the emperor who reigns over the world.
Liu Xiu held back for a long time, then suddenly raised his head with his neck and spit out two words categorically: "Dissatisfied!" ”
Jia Xu was dumbfounded, this Liu Xiu was crazy, knowing that it was the Son of Heaven standing in front of him, how dare he be so arrogant? Jian Shuo was also angry, snatched a long puff from Hu Benlang's hand and rested it on Liu Xiu's neck, just about to put a few cruel words, Liu Xiu grabbed the long puff with his backhand, and kicked out a leg like lightning, Jian Shuo didn't expect him to dare to fight back in this situation, he was caught off guard, and fell a, his chin hit the bluestone slab, and he cried in pain.
"Presumptuous!" Jia Xu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly hugged Liu Xiu, and with all his strength, he was pushed to the ground. More than a dozen tiger benlang rushed up, holding a long hammer, staring at Liu Xiu with fierce eyes, for fear that he would hurt people again. Jian Shuo didn't care about the pain, and stumbled up to protect the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven also sank his face, he stared at Liu Xiu for a long time, raised his hand and gently pushed Jian Shuo away, and said coldly: "Liu Xiu, you are so bold, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?" ”
Liu Xiubai fell to the ground, was silent for a moment, his body suddenly trembled violently, he cried loudly, and paused again and again: "Your Majesty, the minister's crime is unforgivable, please punish the minister's capital crime." The minister's parents disappeared and were imprisoned for four months, just received an amnesty, and heard that his sweetheart was taken away by His Majesty's edict, and the ministers were helpless, and the six gods had no owner, offended Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to punish the ministers with capital crimes. ”
Liu Xiu cried miserably, his head slammed on the ground, and he was bleeding all over his face after two blows, and the people next to him were a little unbearable when they heard it. The anger on the face of the Son of Heaven also turned into pity, he sighed, pushed away Lang Zhong, bent down and pulled Liu Xiu up, seeing that Liu Xiu's forehead had been broken, blood flowed from his forehead to his chin, and was melted by the wine on his face, red and gorgeous, and he couldn't help but regret it a little in his heart. I made a big joke, I wanted to tease him, but I didn't take into account that Liu Xiu's family was missing, the house was burned, and my sweetheart was robbed, and he was on the verge of collapse at this moment, so how could he still have the heart to joke.
"Nonsense, I was about to assassinate me just now, and now I want to slander me? When did I take your sweetheart? ”
Liu Xiu couldn't cry: "Your Majesty issued an edict to elect Wang Chu to enter the palace, the facts are there, how dare the minister talk nonsense?" The ministers have been in chaos, the foundation has been lost, and they have no intention of living, but now they are colliding with Your Majesty and committing an unforgivable crime, and the ministers dare not survive, so please ask Your Majesty to punish the ministers with death. ”
The Son of Heaven was a little embarrassed, and was just about to explain, but the Empress Dowager Yongle, who happened to walk to the front of the palace accompanied by Huo Yu and others, happened to hear Liu Xiu's crying in her ears, couldn't help but reddened her eyes, glared at the Son of Heaven, and reproached: "Your Majesty, look at the good things you have done." ”
Wang Chu, who had just been urgently ordered to enter the palace, stood behind the Queen Mother, looking at Liu Xiu, who was prostrate, everything Liu Xiu just said echoed in her ears, she was shocked and painful, her liver and intestines were broken, and she felt that the sky was spinning, Venus was rising in front of her, the whole sky was darkened, and the bright sunlight suddenly became obscure, and a groan came out of her throat, and she fell softly. Huo Yu's eyes were quick, and he helped her so that she didn't fall to the ground.
"Good boy, get up!" The Queen Mother walked up to Liu Xiu and said softly: "With me in charge of you, no one dares to kill you." While asking people to help Liu Xiu up, she reprimanded: "Your Majesty, I ask for a letter of pardon for Liu Xiu, is it okay?" ”
The Son of Heaven explained curtly: "Queen Mother, I ...... I didn't really want to kill him, I ...... I just wanted to play a joke on him. ”
"Are you kidding? Are you kidding that? When the Queen Mother saw Liu Xiu's miserable face, she felt even more pity in her heart, and reprimanded repeatedly: "You are the king of a country, not a child in the streets and alleys, how can the Son of Heaven and his courtiers make such jokes?" ”
The Son of Heaven was a little embarrassed by the Queen Mother's words, and hurriedly reprimanded the Tiger Benlang who made a cameo appearance in the edict, and asked Jia Xu to help Liu Xiu into the side hall to treat his injuries, and helped the Queen Mother into the main hall, while walking, he explained in a low voice that he had no malicious intentions, just a joke with Liu Xiu, I never thought that Liu Xiu was wronged, and he made a mistake for a while, and then promised again and again, I really didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to destroy his prestige, refine his surname, and want to reuse him in the future.
The Queen Mother listened to his explanation, and then she was angry, but when she remembered Liu Xiu's miserable image, she couldn't help but reprimand the Son of Heaven for going too far. Although the Son of Heaven repeatedly admitted his mistakes, he was beautiful in his heart, not only teased Liu Xiu, avenged the revenge of being splashed with wine by Liu Xiu in prison, but also let Liu Xiu see the majesty of the royal family, and completely subdued him, although there were some surprises, but the ultimate goal was achieved, and the rest was how to be gracious.
Using spells and borrowing power, this is the essence of Han Feizi's imperial technique, and the Son of Heaven has been reading this kind of book recently in order to strengthen the country and prosper. Borrowing Yang Qiu's hand to rectify Cai Yong, killing Wang Fu, and changing hands to kill Yang Qiu, are all preliminary applications of this set of ideas, and now Liu Xiu suddenly killed Cao Jie, disrupting his rhythm, although he was a little unhappy, but he didn't take it too seriously, because Cao Jie's power was too great, he didn't dare to act rashly, just thinking that Cao Jie was almost seventy, maybe he didn't live in a few years, it was better to wait for him to die of old age. Liu Xiu killed Cao Jie, just to let his plan be completed one step ahead of schedule.
Huo Yu asked people to bring water, washed Liu Xiu's face, and sent that the imperial doctor woke up Wang Chu and treated Liu Xiu's injuries, and saw that Liu Xiu's mood was stable, so he smiled and said: "You fool, just for a woman, dare to go crazy in front of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Liu Xiu was in a very low mood, he looked at Wang Chu who was shrinking aside and weeping, and said weakly: "Ah Weng and Ah Mu are gone, the house was burned, and now Ah Chu has also entered the palace, I am alone, I am bored, I only want to die, what else is not daring." ”
Huo Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, turned his face and glanced at Wang Chu enviously: "Miss Wang, you are blessed." ”
Wang Churan looked at the sunlight outside, motionless, the bright palace had no life in her eyes. She was ordered to enter the palace immediately today, and came to Yongle Palace with grief and helplessness, and made a female history. She originally thought that she and Liu Xiu were destined to have no fate, and a few months of love was just a mistake, as time passed, she was able to gradually forget Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu would also find a person she liked again, but she didn't expect to see Liu Xiu crying crazy in front of the Son of Heaven as soon as she entered the palace, this scene pierced her self-deceptive lies like a sharp sword, completely crushed her last fortress, and the whole world collapsed in an instant, and the darkness dominated her, and she couldn't see a little light.
The imperial doctor gave Liu Xiu the medicine and said softly to Huo Yu: "Aunt Huo, he is strong and strong, this little trauma is not a big deal, I have already smeared the medicine on him, it will be fine soon, and there will not be even a scar." But this Wang girl, her mind has been hit too hard, maybe ...... It may take a while to recuperate. ”
Huo Yu responded, waved his hand and motioned for the imperial doctor to leave, and found a place to sit down, look at Liu Xiu, and then look at Wang Chu.
After a while, the Queen Mother sent someone to call Liu Xiu over. Liu Xiu glanced at Wang Chu, who was nested in the corner like a mud puppet, his nose was sore, he took two steps, and followed the person to the palace, the Queen Mother sat in the middle, and the Son of Heaven sat on the side with a smile. Liu Xiu stepped forward and saluted, and then sat down in the place designated by the Queen Mother.
"Liu Xiu, I heard that you sold more than a million stone rice to Youzhou?"
Liu Xiu replied listlessly. When the Son of Heaven saw it, he frowned, and was about to speak, but looking at the look on the Queen Mother's face, he swallowed the words back. The Queen Mother then asked, "Then how much money did you make in this business?" ”
Liu Xiu raised his head and glanced at the Queen Mother, his eyes were a little sluggish, and after a while, he seemed to react: "I didn't make any money, only two IOUs." One is from my classmate Zhuo Ling Gongsun Zhan, and the other is from my senior brother Shanggu Taishou Lu Min, they said that now it can only be regarded as a private debt to me, and whether it can be counted as a public account has to wait for the approval of the imperial court. ”
The Queen Mother said with some regret: "Then you have lost a lot of money, if these rice are transported to Luoyang to sell, you will now be worth at least one billion." ”
"The Queen Mother, even if she has a billion gold, she can't buy back a single life, and she can't buy back an inch of the territory of the Han Dynasty." Liu Xiu gradually regained some of his spirit, and his voice became clearer: "However, the minister...... The grass people didn't lose too much, and some of the horses sold in Luoyang recently were sold by me, and I could barely make up for the pit. ”
The Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven glanced at each other, and they were both a little surprised: "It turns out that those Liaodong merchants were arranged by you." ”
"I just asked the sailor to take them back to Luoyang by the way, and I didn't do anything else, only a small part of them were my goods, and most of them were their own."
"I'll just say this kid is a businessman." The Queen Mother clapped her palms and smiled: "If you hand over the palace market to him to operate, it will definitely not be a mess." ”
The Son of Heaven was a little embarrassed. He ran a palace market in the palace and learned how to do business, but the palace maids and eunuchs did not do business at all, but as a carnival, either fighting with each other, stealing from each other, or playing nonsense, the palace market soon became a playground, and it was made into a miasma, and became a big laughing stock. When the courtiers heard it, they naturally criticized it, saying that the Son of Heaven was not doing his job, which made the Son of Heaven angry, but they had no plan to laugh. Now listening to the Queen Mother mention it in front of Liu Xiu, the Son of Heaven didn't dare to get angry, but he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
"Liu Xiu, how about you come to make the palace market order?" The Son of Heaven followed the topic of the Queen Mother, and said with some deliberate competition.
Liu Xiu was a little dazed, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”
The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes helplessly and raised his voice: "I said, you come to make the palace market order and manage this palace market, can you run the palace market well?" ”
Liu Xiu was at a loss: "Gongshi? What Miyagichi? ”
"Hey, can you be sober?" The Son of Heaven was really angry, pointed to his nose and said loudly: "I ask you, can you concentrate a little?" ”
Before Liu Xiu could answer, the Queen Mother preemptively said, "Who is to blame, isn't it yourself who you blame?" He used to be a clever person, don't be stupid when you are scared, if you are really stupid, what a pity. Alas, poor child, the parents are gone, the house is burned, the sweetheart is robbed by you again, and if you make such a show again, no matter how smart a person is, he can't stand it......"
The Son of Heaven is about to go crazy, if it weren't for Liu Xiu's dejected appearance, which is really pitiful, and he is the culprit, and it is his closest mother who blames him, he can't help but ask someone to drag Liu Xiu down and beat him. He saw Liu Xiu's pitiful appearance with his head lowered and about to cry, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Queen Mother, don't say it, don't stimulate him." ”
When the Queen Mother saw it, she quickly stopped her mouth and looked at the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xiu calmed down a little, wiped the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said: "The scale of the palace market is too small, whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, they are not real businessmen, and it is impossible to gain business experience from them. ”
The Son of Heaven also put away his smile and asked, "So what?" He saw Liu Xiu looking at him with some puzzlement, and said, "I not only want to know what is going on in business, but also want to make some money." There may be another drought this year, and if you don't prepare early, last year's events will be repeated. ”
"No matter how much money you have, it's still the same if you can't buy rice." Liu Xiu shook his head: "The top priority is not to make money, but to grow grain." ”
"Growing grain?" The Son of Heaven laughed helplessly: "You think I don't know? But where did the people come from, and where did they come from? ”
"There is no shortage of people in the big man." Liu Xiu's voice gradually became louder: "There are hundreds of thousands of displaced people I have seen in Youzhou, and there are also people in other places, as long as these people are organized to settle in the fields, why worry about no food." ”
"There is no shortage of people, and there are too many, but where did the land come from?" The voice of the Son of Heaven also became louder. He was angry, Dahan is now full of homeless people, but there are fewer and fewer households on the household register. According to the report from Situ Fu, there were people fleeing everywhere, and the actual number of people in exile may be more than reported. The displacement is like a flood that bursts the levees, which is getting worse and worse, and the land gap is getting bigger and bigger. Of course, the land will not disappear out of thin air, the Son of Heaven has been in the people, and he vaguely knows some of those powerful methods, and these disappeared lands should have been encroached upon by them.
The Han has land, but the Son of Heaven has no land, which is a thing that makes the Son of Heaven very annoyed. He wanted to arrest and kill all those big landlords now, and take back the land from them by violence. During this time, he killed a lot of people, and he also gained a lot of land, just in the hands of Wang Fu and Cao Jie, he got nearly 500 hectares of land.
However, he can only strip the eunuch's land, because the eunuch has no one to support, and if he dies, he will die, if he wants to deprive the family of the land, it will provoke a big counterattack, Cai Yong was demoted to Wuyuan by him, but he only got ten hectares of land, which made him very disappointed.
"Dahan has no land?" Liu Xiu was very surprised, this land used to support more than a billion people later, even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were 400 million people, but the Han Dynasty only had more than tens of millions of people, why couldn't they support it?
The Son of Heaven patiently explained to him that there are about 50 million people in the Han Dynasty at present, 7 million hectares of land, how many of them may be falsely reported, and how many may be non-existent political achievements, etc., and finally spread his hands very angrily: "This is the current belongings of the Han Dynasty, there are many people, there is very little land, and there have been disasters and disasters over the years, and the displaced people are everywhere, those people occupy a large area of land, and live a life of drunken dreams and death. But one is more cunning than the other, as if no one occupies an extra acre of land. He gritted his teeth and scolded: "I can't wait to hang all these hypocrites full of benevolence and morality one by one at the head of the city." ”
When the Son of Heaven spoke, Liu Xiu had been listening quietly, but his expression was a little hesitant, and his spirit was not very concentrated, and he didn't know how much he had listened. At the end, the Son of Heaven couldn't hold back: "Liu Xiu, are you listening to me?" ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "The grass people are listening to His Majesty's teachings. ”
"Whew!" The Son of Heaven finally couldn't hold back and smacked him: "I asked you to help me come up with ideas, not to teach you." ”
Liu Xiu hesitated for a while, "Grass people...... Listen to Your Majesty's teachings. ”
The Son of Heaven was speechless, and after a while, he sighed and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, it seems that if you don't cure your heart disease first, this matter can't be discussed." Liu Xiu, do you want to marry Wang Chu? ”
"Yes!" This time, Liu Xiu did not hesitate and replied, but after a while, the look that had just flashed in his eyes dimmed again, and he said a little nervously: "But...... She has already been ordered to enter the palace. ”
"If you enter the palace, you may not be my woman." The Son of Heaven said angrily: "If you can share my worries, I will reward Wang Chu to you, how about it?" ”
Liu Xiu's eyes moved, and he was suspicious, and after a while, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Don't worry!" The Son of Heaven stopped him, "However, Wang Chu can't be your wife." ”
"Why?" Liu Xiu was anxious again.
"Nonsense, she became a wife, and the eldest princess of Yang Zhai went to be a concubine?" The Son of Heaven's eyes glared: "You only have Wang Chu in your heart, do you know that in order to save you, the eldest princess of Yangzhai voluntarily wants to dedicate the Taiji Daoist Pavilion and the Luofu Noodle Restaurant to me together?" ”
Liu Xiu was startled, almost jumped up, didn't know what to say for a while, and stammered after a long time: "This ...... The Wang family can't agree, Miss Achu ...... We ...... There is no ...... either."
He didn't express a complete meaning for a long time, and the Son of Heaven didn't bother to listen, waved his hand, and said undoubtedly: "I give you two choices, one is Princess Shang, with Wang Chu as her concubine, and in the future, she will be loyal to the Han Dynasty and be my minions, and the other is to cure you for the crime of bullying the king......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Xiu: "Caomin thank Your Majesty Longen!" I am willing to serve Your Majesty. After speaking, he bowed to the ground and kowtowed to the mountain.
"Hey, aren't you stupid?" The Son of Heaven looked at Liu Xiu, who was suddenly full of energy, with some surprise, and had a feeling of being fooled again.
You're stupid. Liu Xiu fell to the ground and secretly despised the Son of Heaven. Things have come to this point and I can still marry Wang Chu, I am already satisfied, you have to give me a princess of Yang Zhai, if I resolutely don't want to, then it will be stupid. After acting for a long time, there was blood and tears, didn't you just want Wang Chu back, since you opened your mouth, how can I let it go, the palace is not a good place, you are not a good bird, the night is long and dreamy, in case you change the hexagram, or find out the charm of Wang Chu, and refuse to return it to me when the time comes, where will I cry.
Do you really not know that you are the Son of Heaven? Your acting skills are at the entry level at most, I am a master of hard work in the deception, and I can get a genius actor who can get a little golden man when I enter the entertainment industry, how can I not see you as a Xibei product. The celebrities and ladies in Luoyang City can't escape my eyes, can you still hide a dignified son of heaven? What else is Liu He's fellow sect in Hejian, I want to deceive my brother, my brother is teasing you!
The Son of Heaven was a little crying and laughing, and then said: "However, I can't give you people now, I have to wait until you have made meritorious contributions......
Before the Son of Heaven finished speaking, Liu Xiu raised his head suddenly, shook his head again and again, and said undoubtedly: "No, the princess can marry later, Wang Chu must reward the minister now." ”
The Son of Heaven's eyes widened: "You dare to bargain with me?" ”
Liu Xiu was startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and stammered, "Minister...... The minister is not at ease. ”
"Don't worry about me?" The Son of Heaven is really on fire, and it is a kick to catch up: "Are you worried that I will backtrack and rob your woman?" ”
"No...... No. Liu Xiu let him kick motionlessly, and continued to defend: "Your Majesty, in addition to being slightly inferior to the ministers in martial arts, the articles are resigned, the appearance is talented, all of them are above the ministers, if you are outside the palace, Your Majesty is the most ideal son-in-law of the Luoyang lady, and the ministers are afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"
Thousands of clothes, not sycophants, although the Son of Heaven felt that Liu Xiu's words were very unorthodox, but he was still a little fluttering, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid of long nights and dreams, and bamboo branches outside the festival." Liu Xiu's whole body was about to lie on the ground, and his voice was so low that he couldn't listen carefully, and he seemed to be seriously lacking in confidence. The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, leaning back and forth with a smile, and his white face turned red with laughter. He shook his head again and again, and slapped Liu Xiu twice with his sleeve: "You rebel, what nonsense, damn it." ”
Liu Xiu couldn't afford to fall to the ground.
It was easy for the Son of Heaven to suppress his smile, scratch his head, and take a step forward: "Since this is the case, then I will be gracious and let you accept Wang Chu as a concubine first, and after making meritorious contributions, then take the princess as a wife." How is it? ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Liu Xiu hurriedly shouted long live.
"However, although Wang Chu is your concubine, she still has to be an official in the palace, don't worry, she is by the side of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will watch for you, and she will never be stolen." The more the Son of Heaven thought about it, the amier it became, and he couldn't help but laugh twice: "You can think of it, and you actually compare me with those disciples who abducted women from good families." ”
Liu Xiu hurriedly put on another high hat: "Your Majesty is not a disciple, Your Majesty is Song Yu." ”
The Son of Heaven blinked, still quite satisfied with this metaphor, touched his nose narcissistically, and involuntarily straightened up, looking forward to his own pride.
Then, the Son of Heaven announced that Liu Xiu would resume his position as a servant and lead the palace order. Liu Xiu responded one by one, persevered in stalking and stalking, and finally succeeded in getting the Son of Heaven to agree that he would immediately lead Wang Chu out of the palace to marry. When Liu Xiu was satisfied and helped Wang Chu's car out of the palace, the Son of Heaven stood on top of the door, looking at Liu Xiu who was gradually moving away, with a smug smile on his face:
"Zhang Gong, what do you think of Liu Xiu?"
Zhang Rang was flustered for a while, standing too high here, the entire Luoyang City and outside can be seen at a glance, and those mansions that have long exceeded the specifications are in full view, including his family, of course. The successive deaths of Cao Jie and Wang Fu made the Son of Heaven make a windfall, he was afraid that when the Son of Heaven turned his head and saw his family's mansion, when would he move his mind to his head again, how could he have the heart to think about Liu Xiu's affairs at this moment. However, the scene of Liu Xiu in front of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven just now did make his heart tremble, he was able to elect Wang Chu, who was elected by the Son of Heaven to the palace, and he wanted to go back again, even if the Son of Heaven originally meant to be gracious, but Liu Xiu's methods were too powerful.
Will this guy become a new opponent?
Zhang Rang tried his best to calm himself down, thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "If this person is not a child, he must be a giant annihilation." ”
The Son of Heaven glanced back at Zhang Rang with some puzzlement, and Zhang Rang hurriedly bowed down and explained: "If he was all out of sincerity just now, then he is a child, if it is just out of fraud, it will be a giant annihilation." ”
The Son of Heaven's eyes flashed, and then asked, "Then do you say that he is a pure son or a giant annihilation?" ”
Zhang Rangbian flattened his mouth and shook his head: "The minister's eyes are cloudy and he can't distinguish clearly." Not to mention ministers, even those who are good at identifying human ethics, such as Qiao Xuan and Guo Tailai, may not be able to recognize it. Just like before Wang Mang usurped the throne, who knew that he harbored evil intentions? ”
The Son of Heaven disagreed: "Do you regard me as a son who doesn't understand anything?" ”
Zhang Rang hurriedly confessed: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just doing his duty, if there is a gaffe, please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Forget it, you're also loyal." The Son of Heaven waved his hand generously, and after a while, he said: "Wang Fu and Cao Jie are dead, and there is a shortage of people in the Queen Palace and the Queen Mother's Palace, do you have any candidates to recommend?" ”
Zhang Rang was overjoyed.
...... "Taking a concubine is not a wife, so it doesn't have to be so formal." Feng Zhao, please invite your family to the Tai Chi Taoist Hall for a drink, and it's over. You should be happy, this is a marriage given by His Majesty, and the Queen Mother and Queen will send people to congratulate you, and your royal family has a face. ”
Wang Bao was speechless in the face of the gloating Lu Zhi, and he didn't dare to say a word, but he scolded the Son of Heaven in his heart. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Wang family, I originally thought that Wang Chu's entry into the palace was an eye-opener and gave the Wang family a chance to soar, but I didn't expect that this was just a means for you to envelop Liu Xiu, a good woman of my Wang family, originally had the opportunity to be Liu Xiu's wife, but now it is good and has become a concubine. What made Wang Bao even more depressed was that because he was ordered to take a concubine, Wang Chu was considered a person in the palace, and their father and son had no right to speak - in fact, when they agreed to Cao Poshi's marriage contract, they had unilaterally settled the marriage contract with Liu Xiu - Liu Xiu took people away directly from the palace, and then invited Lu Zhi to inform them to go to the banquet.
This slap was so loud that Wang Bao felt that his old face was hot.
However, the Son of Heaven still gave him a comfort, and Lu Zhi was accompanied by an appointment from Situ Mansion, and Wang Bin entered the palace as a lang, which can be regarded as an official career. With this appointment, although the three members of the Wang family, father and son, although they felt a little embarrassed, they still rushed to the Taiji Taoist Hall with their family's joyful costumes to attend the banquet and accept the congratulations of countless guests who were flattering or sarcastic.
…… The eldest princess of Yang Zhai looked at Wang Chu, who was still a little haggard, but couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes, and then looked at Liu Xiu, who was radiant and energetic, and said sourly: "Everyone is a lady who has no children to take a concubine, I'm good, I haven't passed the door yet, I have to pay for my husband to take a concubine first, what I know is that I have a belly, and I don't know that I was born with infertions." ”
Liu Xiu was heartless, but Wang Chu was ashamed to pull the arm of the eldest princess of Yangzhai and shook it: "Eldest princess, who dares to talk nonsense like this, the husband will definitely tear his mouth." It's not that the husband doesn't want to marry you first, it's that the Son of Heaven is not allowed, and the husband has made meritorious contributions and has an identity and status, so that he can be worthy of the dignity of the eldest princess. ”
The eldest princess of Yang Zhai poked Wang Chu's towering chest half-truthfully: "Hmph, I'm afraid that he will be satisfied with gentleness from now on, and he won't have much heart to do things, so it is logical for me to wait until my hair is gray." ”
Wang Chu screamed in surprise, his face was red, but he didn't dare to get out of the way, and looked at Liu Xiu pitifully. Liu Xiu walked over, hugged Wang Chu with his left hand, and hugged Princess Yang Zhai with his right hand, sniffed in her ear very exaggeratedly, and licked her earlobe: "It's so sour!" ”
"And!" The eldest princess of Yang Zhai blushed and glared at him, threatening to push him away, but she was reluctant.
"Eldest princess, I have a way to marry you quickly."
The eldest princess of Yang Zhai glanced at him.
"Let's ......" Liu Xiu whispered a few words in her ear, and then laughed: "Then can't you marry your son?" ”
"you." The eldest princess of Yang Zhai giggled and pushed Liu Xiu away: "You can cry and make trouble for Ah Chu to deceive the Queen Mother's sympathy, do you want me to sprinkle like a village woman for you?" You don't have a face, I still have a face. If you really want to marry me, or think about how to make a contribution, don't let me wait too long. ”
"Men, you just have to be able to be hard and soft, hard is King Kong angry, you don't get tired of fighting for a long time, if you are soft, you can't fight back, you can't scold and don't fight back, what's so embarrassing about this?" Liu Xiu retorted with a strong voice, and the exquisite metaphor made the faces of the eldest princess Yang Zhai and Wang Chuqiao hot, and he continued: "I am already two thousand stones now, how can I make a contribution?" Is it impossible to be crowned king? Although my surname is Liu, I am not a clan, so it is impossible to be crowned king. ”
