Chapter 345: The Battle for the Title (Part II)

Qin Kan died in battle, Qin Kan was made a marquis, and Qin Kan had a queen......

Within a day, news after news shocked the ministers.

On the Golden Palace Dragon Chair, Zhu Houzhao's thin lips were pursed very tightly, showing his determination that could not be questioned at this moment. Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe quietly glanced at each other, the two closed their mouths and said nothing, and the decision to seal Zhu Houzhao's marquis was tantamount to acquiescence, while another university scholar Jiao Fang looked at Liu Jin standing beside Zhu Houzhao, the two met their eyes, Liu Jin shook his head slightly imperceptibly, Jiao Fang understood, stroked his gray beard, and did not make a sound.

The celebrant did not dare to object, and neither did the three scholars, and the six scholars and servants of the Ministry of Officials and Household were all old foxes who had been in the court for most of their lives, and they naturally knew how to observe words and feelings, and they all kept silent at the moment.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty seem to be born specifically to oppose the emperor, this opposition has been distorted in the direction of unhealthy paranoia, almost opposition for the sake of opposition, the only one who wants to be upright, those who dare to oppose the emperor are good, they will win the praise of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the common people, and they are not afraid of power and insist on justice.

They will always unconsciously put themselves on the commanding heights of morality and justice, and attack the emperor who represents the mediocre tyranny one after another. can only choose to compromise and retreat, so the power of the ministers is pressing step by step, and the imperial power is gradually weakening, which has caused the current situation of the Ming Emperor's grievances.

But today's court meeting is different, several bachelors who stand at the forefront of the court, and the sharp eyes of the scholars and servants of each department can find that today's Zhu Houzhaojun's face is faintly covered with a faint murderous aura, guilt for Qin Kan's death in battle, and sympathy for the women and children of the Qin family. and the grievances that have been reprimanded by the ministers for many days. Today, all of them turned into monstrous anger, hidden under a calm expression.

A true dragon is a true dragon, no matter how young he is, he is also a true dragon. The dragon can hide in the nine abysses, and be silent and forbearing. It can also soar above the nine heavens to raise clouds and rain.

The will to posthumously seal Qin Kan as the Marquis of Shanyin has just been issued. In the middle of the matter, Xiong Qing slammed his head on the gold brick floor of the main hall, and blood oozed from his forehead in the blink of an eye.

"The minister is against! It is inappropriate for His Majesty to be knighted, and I implore Your Majesty to take back your life! ”

Zhu Houzhao was furious: "Bastard! Hello presumptuous! I have made up my mind. This fate will not change! ”

Xiong Qing's face turned red, his neck was like a fighting that refused to admit defeat, and he angrily protested: "If Your Majesty does not take back your life, the court will kill the jade step!" The king is mediocre, there is no daylight, the minister is powerless to help, just want to die! ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily, looked up to the sky and said a few times: "Liu Jin." ”

"The old slave is here."

"I've left this matter to you, I don't want to hear any more opposition!"

"Your Majesty can rest assured, the old slave will share your worries for Your Majesty."

Zhu Hou didn't look at the ugly face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and went back to the inner palace from the lower hall.

Zhu Houzhao left, Liu Jin did not follow, but stood in front of the dragon chair of the Golden Palace with his hands crossed, looking at the ministers of the palace with a divine gaze, his face was full of ridicule.

What a group of people who died for it! It's just a matter of singing the opposite tune on weekdays, today Qin Kan is dead, and it is the time when His Majesty's heart is on fire, and even the miscellaneous family doesn't dare to say a word if Qin Kan is so unpleasant, are your eyeballs stepped on as bubbles?

Standing in front of the dragon chair, looking at Xiong Qing and the ministers kneeling under His Royal Highness, Liu Jinpi arched his hand without smiling, and said, "In addition to Lord Xiong in the matter of Like, which other adult thinks that Qin Kan should not be chased after the Marquis of Shanyin?" ”

The yin and yang strange tone and sarcastic expression suddenly made the ministers very angry, and immediately more than a dozen officials and imperial historians stood up from the court, stared at Liu Jin fearlessly, and said in unison: "We are against it!" ”

Liu Jin sharpened his voice and laughed a few times: "Very good, the princes are commendable, and the miscellaneous family will give you a ride, where is the Han general in front of the palace?" ”

Dozens of armored Han generals poured in.

Liu Jin waved his hand lightly: "Take off their official uniforms and take them to the Imperial Prison for miscellaneous treatment." ”

More than a dozen ministers were rudely carried away by the Han generals, leaving only the scolding of "gelding, traitors" who were drifting away.

Liu Jin looked at their backs and sneered, his eyes were like looking at a group of dead people, and he turned a deaf ear to their scolding.

Civil officials, after all, are just a bunch of mouths, I really don't understand, how can His Majesty of the past dynasties be so jealous of them?

In the hall, the faces of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu became more and more ugly, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but glance at Li Dongyang again, and his face was a little indignant.

Mr. Xiya is really right, as soon as Qin Kan died, Liu Jin's arrogance was really arrogant, look at him standing in front of the dragon chair with a majestic face, like an "emperor", where will the Ming Dynasty Hall go in the future?

***************************************************************

The posthumous decree is coming.

This holy decree did not bring much joy to the gloomy and miserable Qin Mansion, the Qin Mansion has been in an extremely depressed atmosphere these days, and the only thing that can bring a trace of joy to the gray and white Qin Mansion is probably the second lady in the past, and now the second lady Jin Liu is pregnant with the blood of the old man Qin.

As for Zhu Houzhao's holy decree to posthumously crown Qin Kan as the Marquis of Shanyin, it is really unpleasant.

The people are gone, what is the use of the title no matter how high it is? Of course, with this title, the Qin family will not fall, and the housekeepers, maids, and miscellaneous servants in the house have finally settled down.

As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree left, he was followed by a eunuch sent by the celebrant to the court, who brought a full set of funeral utensils such as the mourning shed and the mourning hall on the orders of Liu Jin, as well as forty-nine monks and Taoists sent by the Daolu Division to perform the ceremony.

The arrival of these people and things made the atmosphere in the Qin Mansion even more mournful, and many maids and miscellaneous servants even covered their faces and cried.

The housemother, Du Yan, rushed to the front yard angrily. Without saying a word, the eunuch who was laughing with him was beaten violently, and those monks and Taoists were also driven out of the Qin Mansion, and the funeral utensils were smashed to pieces, and then the gate of the Qin Mansion was tightly closed, and no outsiders were seen.

Du Yan stood in the front yard and scolded Liu Jin loudly, and everyone agreed with it.

In fact, Du Yan really blamed Liu Jin this time, Liu Jin rarely did a good deed, and this time he sent funeral utensils and monks and Taoists, which was really good.

Qin Kan's death in battle is almost a certainty, and the so-called death of a person is like a lamp going out. All the grievances between Liu Jin and Qin Kan are gone. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's affection for the Qin family has not decreased, but is more prosperous than when Qin Kan was alive, since there is no conflict of interest with the Qin family from now on, Liu Jin is naturally happy to have a good relationship. That's why they ordered these things to be delivered.

Who knew that Father-in-law Liu finally came out with a good heart. was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Du Yan and the people of the Qin Mansion. The Qin family's housewife didn't believe that Qin Kan was dead at all, wouldn't Liu Jin send these unlucky things to find bad luck for the Qin family?

…………

…………

In the front yard of the Qin Mansion, Du Yan, who was a little panting from scolding, finally stopped. The angry look subsided a little.

Standing in the courtyard and thinking about it, Du Yan suddenly raised his voice and said: "Butler, send someone into the city and invite Li Er to the Thousand Households in the inner city." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly nodded in response, and personally got into the car and entered the city.

Jin Liu, who was slightly bulging her lower abdomen, couldn't stop crying, and looked at Du Yan opening her hands like a little female tiger, protecting the Qin family to the death, and her heart couldn't help but become more and more sour.

"Sister, I've hurt you......" Jin Liu took Du Yan's hand and cried.

Du Yan's face was much softer, patted her hands, and said softly: "Ask two maids to accompany you to walk around the hospital, just pregnant with a child should move around appropriately, I have called the famous doctor Long Erzhi in Beijing to prescribe a prescription for you to raise a fetus, and I am asking someone to stay up for you, it is windy outside, walk a few steps back to the room, be careful of the child in the belly......"

"Sister......

"Go quickly, you must be careful of the child, he is the blood of the father-in-law, and there is no room for mistakes." Du Yanqiao's face was a little tired and sad, and soon disappeared, gently wiped her tears for Jin Liu, and said with a forced smile: "Xianggong will not die, he is so bad, how dare the king of Hades accept him?" Good news will come in a few days, believe me! Before Xianggong comes back, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, and I will support the Qin family! ”

…………

Li Er came soon.

Du Yan, who was dressed in plain clothes, received him in the outer hall.

Staring at Li Er's sad face, Du Yan asked solemnly: "Li Er, are you still loyal to my father-in-law?" ”

Li Erleng paused, stood up and knelt down on one knee towards Du Yan, and said loudly: "Qin Shuai has the grace of reinvention for me Li Er, Li Er can have today, all thanks to Qin Shuai's cultivation, Madame, but there are orders, I Li Erwan will not give up!" ”

Du Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Xianggong didn't see the wrong person, Li Er, everyone outside said that Xianggong died, do you believe it?" ”

Li Er hesitated for a long time, his lips twitched, but he didn't make a sound.

Du Yan sighed: "It seems that you believe it, no wonder, the emperor even issued a holy decree to posthumously seal, who would believe that Xianggong is still alive?" ”

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Madam." Qin Shuai is still alive? Can anyone see it with their own eyes? ”

Du Yan said coldly: "No one has seen it, but I just know that the Dao Gong is not dead!" He's definitely not going to die! Li Er, I am a woman, I am not qualified to assign you, I called you today, it is just because of your relationship with Xianggong for many years, you must help the Qin family do something. ”

Li Erzhong clenched his fists heavily: "Madam, please command." ”

"You are the deputy thousand households of the inner city of Jinyiwei, Ding Shun thousand households went to Liaodong with the Xianggong, and the thousand households in the inner city are in charge of you, you send more spies to leave Beijing and go to Liaodong, whether it is the battlefield by the Liao River, the stations of the large and small tribes in Mongolia outside the Guan, or the cities and townships around the Liaohe River, they will carefully investigate and search for me to find the whereabouts of the Xianggong."

Li Er said without hesitation: "Yes." I'm going to send spies out of Beijing. ”

Du Yan stared at Li Er and said word by word: "Li Er, I believe that Xianggong is not dead, you have to believe it too!" ”

"Yes! Qin Shuai didn't die, he would never die! ”

…………

…………

Looking at Li Er's back as he left in a hurry, Du Yan's resolute expression never disappeared.

got up and returned to the bedroom, closed the door and sat alone by the windowsill, looking at the yellowing sycamore outside the window, Du Yan, who had never shed a single tear, was in tears at the moment, but gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

In the quiet empty room, Du Yan murmured like a cry: "Xianggong, you once said right, if I am not strong, who will I show if I am cowardly?" Xianggong, come back, I can't hold it anymore......"
