Chapter 59: The Source of Rumors
In the scorching summer, the heat fills the universe, and even the howling sea breeze carries a wave of heat.
After receiving the holy decree, Yang Sien took his wife Zhou Xiangyu and a few month-old children on a cargo ship to the capital. However, this season is indeed not a good day to travel, even if he has been in Qiongzhou for a few years, he is still a little unaccustomed to this hot weather, and he feels that the whole thing is covered with an invisible cover, and he is drowsy all day long, and he can't lift his senses.
Fortunately, this kind of day did not last long, and the cargo ship sailed north along the coastline, and after nearly a month, finally reached the mouth of the Yellow River.
"Whew......" Yang Sien stretched his waist and sighed: "It's still cool to feel like this river breeze!" Fresh and natural, not as fishy as the sea breeze. ”
Zhou Xiangyu, who was sitting beside him and was drenched in sweat, also stroked the sweat-soaked hair on her cheeks, and walked to the side of the boat to enjoy the baptism of the river breeze. After a long time, Zhou Xiangyu said: "Xianggong, the concubine wants to discuss something with you!" ”
Yang Sien: "Say it! ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "A few days ago, I heard your Xingxiu brother say that now the new city of Beijing has become quite large-scale, and the environment is very good, the roads in the city are wide, the transportation is convenient, and the facilities are complete, like what pharmacies, restaurants, supermarkets...... And so on, everything you need! By the way, what's the name of the ...... What kind of doctor is it, I heard that it was your brother named Wu Ren who taught the apprentice to treat the disease there, it seems to be quite a bull! ”
Yang Sien: "People call it a comprehensive medical center, in addition to the doctors you said who are learning new learning, there is also our traditional Langzhong, maybe it is a pilot medical center run by the saint or Niangniang, anyway, they like to come to this set of saints." If you read more books and newspapers, you will know that you can read novels with your arms, and now you know what people are saying, you can't understand it! For my husband, I will tell you that you will have more eyes in the future, see more useful things, and don't fix those that you don't have. I'll put up with you if you don't have anything to do in Qiongzhou, but it's different if you want to go back to the capital. I heard that the queen will gather some ladies to play from time to time, and when she falls, don't blame the relevant for not reminding you! ”
"The concubine knows! Don't talk about other people! Zhou Xiangyu said coquettishly: "It's a big deal, people will pay more attention in the future, and promise not to embarrass your Yang family, and don't embarrass your husband, okay!" ”
It is said that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. Yang Sien never thought of himself as a hero, but he couldn't pass the level of beauty, and every time his daughter-in-law snorted, he shivered. It took a lot of perseverance for him to remove his mother-in-law's claws from his neck, and then said righteously: "Lady." I said that you are all children, can you pay attention to the impact and be coquettish in front of the children! By the way, didn't you just say that there is something to discuss, what the hell is going on? ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "Xianggong, look, we used to be in Qiongzhou, and there was no place to spend money, and it was very easy for you to support our family." However, this is now to live in the capital. There are more places to spend money. Moreover, have you thought about it, there are several brothers in your family, and you, as the elder brother, are now court officials, and you go back to rob them of the family property, this is inappropriate! ”
Yang Sien: "Madam, what you said is quite a set, and it seems to make sense. However, the husband still didn't understand. What do you mean by this big circle? Can you put it bluntly, on this hot day, your husband and my brain haven't started yet! ”
"This is the time to pick! Otherwise, when you wait for the monkey spirit and monkey spirit, how can the concubine still play! Zhou Xiangyu muttered in a low voice.
Yang Sien raised his eyes. Glancing at him: "Madam, what are you talking about?" Say it louder! ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "Xianggong, the concubine body means that my father thinks that they can't get away from Guangzhou now, and I don't know when they will be able to return to the capital, and maybe they will settle in Guangzhou in the future." But what's the matter. They bought a house in the new city of Beijing before, but it has been empty and no one lives in it, which is a waste of blame. It just so happened that we were going back to the capital now, and my father said that he would give us the house, and the concubine thought that it was good, anyway, it was impossible to stay with your brothers when she returned to Beijing, and she always had to buy real estate, so the concubine took it upon herself, don't be angry! ”
Yang Sien: "That's it! Look at what you. The husband told you, you just need to read more books and take care of the children a little better, and you don't have to worry about these chores. Isn't it just a house, don't look at the high housing prices in Beijing now, and we have nothing to do with it! ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "Why? ”
Yang Sien: "Why? Because the emperor has already left us a house, not only me, but several other brothers! ”
"No wonder!" Zhou Xiangyu nodded thoughtfully: "The concubine said that you don't care about these things at all, and you have a plan for it, so why don't you talk to the concubine?" ”
Yang Sien: "What's there to say about this thing?" Fuss! ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "Husband, in fact, there is still a problem with the concubine body that I have not understood. You said that you are not just studying with the emperor, at most you are a scholar, why does the emperor value you so much? ”
"Hey, hey! You don't know that! Yang Sien smiled: "I'll tell you for my husband, but don't go out and talk nonsense!" ”
"Xianggong, don't worry, the concubine is the best at keeping secrets, promise not to say anything, you can talk about it quickly!" Zhou Xiangyu stared at him with big eyes, looking as sincere as he looked.
Yang Sien: "Madam, do you know where my husband went in the nearly two years before marrying you?" ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "I heard that you went to sea to that America, didn't you?" ”
Yang Sien: "That's right, I went to sea, and it took more than half a year to go, and then we found the America that the emperor said, a very big land, anyway, you and I walked on it with the people who went with me for a month and didn't come to the end, it must be small." ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "But what does this have to do with the emperor's weight on you?" ”
Yang Sien: "Then my husband asks you, do you know that there is such a large piece of land so far away from us, and you clearly know what is on it?" ”
Zhou Xiangyu: "The concubine body is not an immortal, and she has never been out of the capital before, how can you know that it is so far away?" ”
Yang Sien: "That's right! We are not immortals, we don't know, but the emperor has always stayed in the capital, and when he was very young, he knew such a distant place, and he knew it so carefully, if it wasn't for the emperor to give us a detailed road map, it is still unknown whether the prince can come back alive! ”
"Yikes!" Zhou Xiangyu was suddenly surprised: "Xianggong, you don't want to say that the emperor is a god!" ”
"Madame is so smart!" Yang Sien nodded on his daughter-in-law's forehead: "Actually! When my husband was young. I felt that the emperor was a little unusual, but I was too young to pay attention to it at that time, and later when we were older, we felt that there were many mysteries that could not be seen clearly. At that time, we speculated that the Holy One was the reincarnation of the gods. specially to lead us to build our Song Kingdom into a stronger country, so several of our brothers, including the current Yang Guifei and Xie Shufei, vowed to assist the emperor wholeheartedly and complete this great cause, and they will not hesitate to pay any price for it, if there is any disobedience. Thunder and thunder! ”
"Oh!" Zhou Xiangyu suddenly realized: "No wonder the concubine didn't complain when she saw that you were thrown by the emperor to such a remote place as Qiongzhou, the concubine used to think that you were not motivated, but it turned out to be because of this reason!" However, the concubine body still doesn't understand a little, you said that if the saint is really a god descending from heaven, then why do you have to work so hard, wouldn't it be good to cast spells directly? ”
Yang Sien glanced at her: "Lady, you still read novels every day, and those fairy novels are in vain!" You didn't read the above, immortals can't directly interfere with mortal things. Do you have to do it indirectly with the help of mortal power? ”
Zhou Xiangyu nodded and said, "It's too!" So you are all chosen by the emperor, oh no, you are the ones chosen by the gods! Then will you also be immortals in the future? Xianggong, you have to take a concubine! ”
Yang Sien: "Calm down! Calm! Before the work is done, you just think about the benefits, and it will take a long time! My husband told you this secret today, because I hope you will remind Lord Taishan, that is, your father and your brother, in your usual letters, not to let them do anything to be sorry for the queen and the mother, otherwise no one will be able to save them. You know? ”
"It's good to be fair!" After Zhou Xiangyu finished speaking, he took a sip of incense on his cheek, and then continued: "The concubine must keep in mind, and I promise to help you keep an eye on them!" However, Xianggong. Are you really sure that the emperor is the reincarnation of the gods? ”
"Xiao Nizi, you dare to doubt your father-in-law!" Yang Sien smiled evilly and secretly took two handfuls on his daughter-in-law's chest, as a punishment, before continuing: "Actually, we were just a little suspicious at the time, but a series of events that happened later strengthened our inference. The story of the emperor and the queen. You've probably heard of it! ”
"I've heard of it! Didn't you say that when the emperor went to inspect the disaster in Haozhou, he got acquainted with the queen in Haozhou? Zhou Xiangyu nodded, and the flush on her cheeks had not yet subsided.
Yang Sien: "It's just a popular version!" The real situation is that the emperor was convening the courtiers to hold a banquet at that time, and the godbrother next to the queen was the stupid guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and he came with the emperor when we got married, I don't know if you have an impression yet. It was he who told the emperor at the banquet that the queen was framed, in fact, everyone knows that in such a big country, it is not a big deal for an ordinary woman to be framed. However, the emperor's performance at that time was very problematic, even if the emperor tried to cover it up, but with the familiarity of us growing up with the emperor, there was definitely something greasy in it.
Moreover, later, Xiao Shunzi, who was the attendant next to the emperor, also revealed after a drink that the emperor was furious in the dormitory that night, and it was the first time in more than ten years that he saw the emperor so angry, so that he had nightmares when he slept during that time. What happened later was even more bizarre, the field army established by the emperor himself, which is now Qilinwei, and the cavalry unit to which he belonged rushed to Jiangning at night, and the first thing he did there was to control the local garrison, and captured Wang Xianyou, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture at that time. Later, despite the opposition of the minister, the emperor directly appointed the queen as the commander-in-chief of the disaster relief in Haozhou at that time, and controlled the military and civilians in the southeast.
Later, the emperor found an excuse to go to Haozhou, judging from Xiao Shunzi's description at the time, the emperor clearly knew the queen, and had a great relationship.
Then the question arises, the emperor has been staying with us in the capital, and the queen has been in Jiangning Mansion thousands of miles away at that time, how did they hook up? ”
"Yes! How do you hook up? Zhou Xiangyu listened to the story very fascinated, and she also had a sense of substitution, and at the end she also asked along her man's train of thought. After a long while, she seemed to wake up and exclaimed: "Xianggong, you don't want to say that the queen is also a god of heaven, right?" It's incredible! ”
Yang Sien: "I also think this idea is very ...... Very much! But that's what I think makes the most sense. Of course, the speculation of the husband was also approved by those brothers. It's just that there is a problem that I can't figure out as a husband, that is, why does the emperor hide his identity, and often tells us that there are no gods in this world, if those ministers know that the emperor is a god descending from heaven, I think who dares not to listen to the emperor, and whoever doesn't listen will let Lei kill him! ”
"That's it! It is! Chop them to death! All hacked to death! Zhou Xiangyufu sang with her wife and strongly expressed her strong support for her man.
"Alright, alright!" Yang Sien hurriedly grabbed the indignant daughter-in-law and reprimanded: "It's all mothers, don't be so violent in front of your son!" My husband tells you this, I hope that when you have the opportunity to contact the queen in the future, you will be more focused, learn more, and do more things than your brain. Also, today's incident, you're going to have to keep your mouth shut on me, you know? (To be continued.) )
