Chapter 154: Mrs. Zheng
Yang Yuanqing's voice suddenly came from next door, which stunned the three of them, and the three of them looked at each other, how could His Royal Highness the King of Chu be next door?
It's just that after Yang Yuanqing shouted angrily, there was no sound, and at this time, Pei You came up and smiled at the three of them: "Your Highness, please come over." β
Qin Qiong stood up, pointed to the room and asked, "When did His Highness come?" β
"Just arrived, let's go!"
Qin Qiong walked quickly to the room, and Cheng Yanjin could barely walk behind, Luo Shixin smiled at Cheng Yanjin in a low voice: "You are dead this time!" β
He gloated and smiled, and also followed into the house, Cheng bit his golden face and stood there shaking his face, he knew that he was really in trouble this time, and everything else could be joked, but women couldn't joke with Yang Yuanqing.
Although Cheng Yanjin's first thought was to slip away, where could he run to? In desperation, he had to walk towards the room.
In the room, Pei You had already brought wine and food, Yang Yuanqing sat at the table and drank slowly, he was still in disguise, so that Cheng Yanjin did not recognize it at once, and a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart, but as soon as Yang Yuanqing, who had a mustache, spoke, his heart fell into despair.
"How are you going to explain it to me this time?" Yang Yuanqing asked coldly.
Cheng bit the golden leg and softened, 'Plop! Falling to his knees, he slapped himself twice, "Damn it!" chewing His Highness's tongue behind his back, he is willing to accept his guilt. β
'Guilty? β
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "You are really not guilty, I thought about it, whether it is military regulations or Great Sui Law, you have not committed a crime, how dare I punish you?" β
Yang Yuanqing said it lightly, but Cheng Yanjin was even more frightened, he would rather violate some military regulations and be beaten up. Putting an end to this, and never wanting to hang on the pole without guilt, one day his petty sins will become felonies.
Cheng Yanjin kowtowed three times in a row and begged: "Your Highness, I am guilty of disrespect, and I am willing to accept all punishments." β
Qin Qiong next to him was a little unbearable, so he pleaded for Cheng Biting Jin. "Your Highness. Although Zhijie is open-mouthed, he has no malicious intentions, but TianxΓ¬ng is like this, as long as he can remember this lesson, His Royal Highness will spare him this time for the sake of meritorious service in the Sui Tu War! β
Luo Shixin felt that Yang Yuanqing was really annoyed this time. He also stepped forward and bowed down to intercede for Cheng Jin, "Your Highness, although Lao Cheng's mouth stinks. But he has a good heart, and he is loyal to His Highness, as His Highness said. It's not a loss of righteousness, it's okay to be a subsection, I think his stinky mouth should belong to a subsection, and I beg His Highness to spare him once! β
Yang Yuanqing was indeed a little annoyed this time, and he also felt that he was too lenient with his subordinates. Even the generals under him have no reverence for themselves, and this Cheng Yanjin actually dares to say that he is good in a public place, which makes him a little unbearable.
However, Luo Shixin is also right, Cheng bites Jin and is not a loss, but this stinky mouth is hateful, and today he has to make him suffer enough of this stinky mouth.
"Then how can you promise me that you will never talk about me behind my back again, you can make your own decision!"
Cheng gritted his teeth, "I am willing to cut off my finger as a punishment!" β
He took out the dagger from his boot and slashed it at his little finger, Qin Qiong's eyes were quick, he grabbed Cheng Jin's wrist, and scolded: "Parents jΔ«ng blood, you dare to throw it away at will!" β
Yang Yuanqing sneered, "You are very powerful!" Why not cut off your own head, wouldn't that be more sincere? β
Cheng Yanjin was terrified, abandoned the knife on the ground, and cried: "I don't know what to do, I ask His Highness to show me the way." β
Yang Yuanqing saw that he was actually crying, and it was estimated that he was really scared in his heart, so he said slowly: "For the sake of General Qin and General Luo interceding for you, I can spare you lightly this time, I will punish you for not saying a word for three months, if you say a word, I will deduct you for one year, this is my punishment!" β
"Clever!"
Luo Shixin clapped his hands and applauded, he was really convinced, this is the best way to treat Cheng Cheng's stinky mouth, even Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing, this method is good.
Cheng Yanjin knelt on the ground, didn't say a word for a long time with a bitter face, and let him not speak for three months, didn't he want to die?
But as soon as he thought about it, he found a loophole in Yang Yuanqing's punishment, and he could say it at home! The penalty should be that he should not be allowed to say a word in public.
That's it! This is better than no punishment, Cheng Biting Jin hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Your Highness Xie is lightly punished, biting Jin knows that it is wrong." β
"Get up!"
Yang Yuanqing didn't want to see Cheng Yanjin groveling, so he asked him to get up, and then turned back to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and said, "You two please sit down too." β
Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin sat down, but Cheng Yanjin stood aside, not daring to sit down, Yang Yuanqing didn't pay attention to him, and said to Qin Luo and the others: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk about the future with the two of you, but one is that I don't have time, and the other is that I haven't considered maturity. β
Qin Qiong's face changed greatly, he stood up and knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness has an order, we absolutely obey it, and we are willing to go to the soup for Your Highness and go to war for thousands of miles, but the land obtained is all the territory of the Great Sui, and all of them are the royal land of Your Highness, and you have no ambition to build a country, please retract this sentence." β
Luo Shixin also knelt down on one knee, "Great Sui military minister, never for selfishness, please retract this sentence from Your Highness!" β
Yang Yuanqing saw that they were determined and resolutely refused to accept it, so he had to stop for the time being, and smiled: "This is a later story, let's talk about it later!" Let's talk about training recruits. ββ¦β¦
Yang Yuanqing originally went to Beishi to learn about people's livelihood and market conditions, but unexpectedly met Qin Qiong and others, which disrupted his plan for a private visit to Weifu.
Just returned to the palace, but saw a carriage parked next to the gate, the carriage and the coachman were dusty, it could be seen that it was a long journey, which made Yang Yuanqing slightly stunned, who is this?
He turned over and dismounted, entered the mansion gate, and saw Izuchen rushing towards him, with a surprised expression on his face, and said hurriedly: "Yuanqing, guess who is coming?" β
"I don't know, who is it?" Yang Yuanqing had an intuition that it should be an old man.
Chuchen pulled him aside and whispered, "It's Mrs. Zheng here." β
"Who is it?" Yang Yuanqing was also taken aback.
"Hey!"
Izuchen sighed, "It's your mother in the main room, Minqiu is talking to her." Can't you see it? β
Yang Yuanqing sank down, and said coldly: "What is she coming from?" β
"I don't know the specifics, looking at her looks quite down, do you see it or not?"
Yang Yuanqing didn't have a soft heart like Chuchen, he shook his head, "I don't want to see her!" β
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards his study, looking at his back as he resolutely walked away. I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although Mrs. Zheng didn't treat her well in the past, her past hatred and dissatisfaction have long faded.
Yang Yuanqing returned to his inner study, took off his robe and hung it on the shelf, his good mood was ruined by the arrival of Mrs. Zheng, although he could not care about many things and could be forgiven. But it doesn't mean that there is no hatred in his heart, there are still a few people in his life who can't be forgiven, Mrs. Zheng and the Yang brothers. It was precisely the three people closest to him by blood.
He couldn't forgive Mrs. Zheng for being mean and unkind to him when he was a child, let alone forgiving Yang Jun and Yang Rong for betraying their father.
Yang Yuanqing sat down. He was really a little upset, and at this time the door opened, Pei Minqiu walked in, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, and she slowly stepped forward. Putting the hot tea on the table, he smiled softly, "Don't you really want to see her?" β
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I only have hatred for her in my heart, and it may be better for her not to see her." β
"Husband, after all, she used to be your mother, even if it is not good in a thousand ways, you can't erase this fact, besides, she also knows that she is wrong, why don't you give her a chance?"
"Wrongdoing?"
Yang Yuanqing sneered, "Where did she know that she was wrong?" How do you know it's wrong? β
"She went to the ancestral hall just now, knelt in front of your father's portrait and wept bitterly, I am also a woman, no woman wants to be divorced by her husband, you should know a little bit about the situation back then."
Yang Yuanqing didn't say anything, and Pei Minqiu persuaded him again: "I also communicated with my aunt, and my aunt said that it was her meanness to you back then that made you where you are today, if she raised you in a honey pot, what would you be like today?" And the aunt said that she also owed Mrs. Zheng a favor. β
The last sentence moved Yang Yuanqing, and he asked lightly: "What favor does my aunt owe her?" β
"The aunt said that it was Mrs. Zheng's strong opposition that allowed her to keep her innocence, otherwise she would have been martyred a long time ago."
Yang Yuanqing also sighed, of course he knew that Mrs. Zheng did not object to her father accepting her as a side room for the sake of her aunt's good, but many things are in a causal cycle, and no one can say clearly, Mrs. Zheng is a fork in his fate, and it cannot be said that she is useless.
Pei Minqiu saw that her husband was already a little tempted, so she further patiently persuaded him: "My husband will be the Emperor of the Great Sui in the future, the emperor should have a heart of thousands of miles, if you don't even have this little heart, how can you be proud of the world, Mrs. Zheng is just a small person, why take her to heart?" β
"Alright! What did she come to do? What are the requirements. β
Yang Yuanqing reluctantly agreed to let Mrs. Zheng go, regardless of her past evil deeds, Pei Minqiu saw that her husband had relented, her heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "Actually, she doesn't have any requirements, that is, she is lonely and helpless now, I hope we can give her a home, and besides, we can give Yang Jun and Yang Rong a future." β
"This won't work!"
Yang Yuanqing refused without hesitation, "I can give her a rich and noble old age, give her a beautiful house and land, and let her spend the rest of her life without worrying about food and clothing, I can promise her, but the Yang brothers can't, I told Yang Rong in Huining County, if they are willing to stay in front of their father's tomb for three years, I can forgive them, and even give them glory and wealth, this is my only condition, and it is still this condition, you can tell her." β
Pei Minqiu knew that her husband had made up her mind, and it was difficult to persuade her again, so she had to nod and agree, "Didn't the husband see her?" β
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "It's awkward to meet, so you don't need to meet, you can deal with this matter!" β
"Okay!"
Pei Minqiu was helpless, so he had to say, "Then I'll go first." β
Walking to the door, Yang Yuanqing stopped her again, "There is a bottom line you have to grasp, I will not make her the queen mother, at most give her a lady." β
"I know, after all, she is no longer the housewife of the Yang family."
Pei Minqiu turned around and went out, Yang Yuanqing fell into contemplation again, he thought of Li Shimin's secret purchase of Yang Rong, these two brothers may really be two key chess pieces
