Chapter 382: New Concubine
"One of the guests at the banquet asked me for help before, saying that someone was going to kill him, so I asked Liu Xia Jin Nian and them to follow them in turn for a few days, and today I will be replaced. The man was as cowardly as a mouse, saying that he was dangerous, but he would not tell the details that we would save his life. I thought he was playing tricks on us, but something happened. Hyun Jindi was a little annoyed, "We have checked every dish, a pot is hot, and the dishes have never been moved, but people are dying in front of my eyes." ”
Lan Sheng asked, "Aren't there several people in a coma?" ”
"Three." Hyun Jindi replied, "Almost at the same time, first stomach trouble, then foaming at the mouth and unconscious, when I left, the doctor had announced that they had no pulse, and the doctor could not see that this matter was difficult to be good, the three of them were officials of the three pavilions, the officials of the six grades, but they had real power." ”
"Is it from the Shinge Party?" With the support of the new emperor, the new cabinet officials led by An Hu became a party.
"No, all three of them are from the Fanjing faction, but only one of them was recommended as an official by Qin Tianjian Jingpeng, and the other two served as Huang University Scholars. The Huang family and the Jing family were originally friendly because of dealing with your father, and these three people seem to be one faction, but in fact, Huang Hejing has a dislike for the division of power after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and they are not really their own people. Officialdom is just like this, whether it is friend or foe, it depends on the immediate interests. Hyun Jindi noticed that the carriage had stopped, and there was no figure to be seen outside.
"That is, the new emperor is dealing with two people at the same time, but as the emperor, is it necessary to use this method of assassination?" They are already emperors, and they can be sent out at will, exiled and expelled, solved halfway, or distributed to a place where birds don't lay eggs. Like a suspended death sentence, it is more dignified than an assassination in public.
"It's supposed to be Shadowdoor." Hyun Jindi had the answer in her heart, and she was very sure, "The power of the Shadow Gate has never been invisible, but through the hands of Concubine Qi, it is all over the government and the opposition, and it is hidden among the elites of various factions, and it usually looks normal. Now, if the Shadow Gate wants to compete for the world, of course these people must serve it. Therefore, it cannot be hidden. It's just that I have enjoyed so many years of glory and wealth. Those who have power in their hands are even more mixed like fish in water, and suddenly the master let them go into battle, and many people will definitely hesitate. This kind of thing. If there is one, there will be a string. Naturally, you have to kill a few wavering. to warn others. However, I think it may be more than just internal cleanup. ”
"Why do you want to kill people in the Princess's Mansion?" Lan Sheng wanted to know.
"The five princesses and the concubines are very kind. Widely meet people with lofty ideals, and have been helping the down-and-out talents who are in trouble. The two are relatives of the emperor, and their recommendations can be heard by the heavens, and their popularity is naturally very good, so whenever the banquet of the princess's mansion is posted, it is easiest to gather people from all walks of life. If you want to say that it can be on par with the princess's mansion, it is the Linglong Water Pavilion, but Boss Bai doesn't like officialdom, and prefers to deal with giant businessmen than high-ranking officials, even if the heavenly family has lowered businessmen to a very cheap place since ancient times, obviously Boss Bai is quite disapproving. "Hyun Jindi never called Uncle Bai Huzhou.
"I don't think so. A country that is rich and strong has a lot to do with businessmen. The aristocracy was afraid that the nouveau riche were already rich, and if they did not demote their social status, their own status would be threatened. Moreover, the aristocracy is passed down from generation to generation and is supported by the imperial court, but businessmen cannot do this, one generation earns at most three generations, and if the children and grandchildren are not outstanding, they will not be rich for three generations. In terms of survivability, merchants are stronger. Moreover, those ancient famous families, who don't do business? Imperial businessmen, official businessmen, abound. It's just a nice hat to cover it up. If you want me to say, this world is divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and there is a problem. Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, each performing their own duties, what is the distinction between high and low. Even if she is a prostitute, as long as she is legally engaged in the industry and makes money, she is worthy of respect......" Realizing that he had said too much, Lan Sheng stopped abruptly.
Since being reborn, I have been adapting myself to this time and space, instead of being ashamed, full of freedom and equality, hoping that everyone will evolve overnight for thousands of years. The rivers of time, the rivers of history, all have their directions, and they cannot be jumped over. The intersection of the two may have the possibility of creating a new direction, but it is by no means possible for one person to change it. She chose to survive in the cracks, sowing seeds around her, inch by inch of greenery, and begging to breathe more and more.
Noticing Hyun Jindi's thoughtful gaze, Lan Sheng urged, "It's not that you want to hand over the shift, go quickly." ”
Hyun Jindi retracted his gaze lightly, as if he didn't care about Lan Sheng's words that shook his heart, and he walked out of the car. There was no time for the two to fall in love and give up another time, and as soon as they shook the reins, the carriage ran quickly, so Lan Sheng didn't know that Hyun Jindi was standing at the bottom of the alley, watching her car turn into the street, as if the mouth was suddenly opened, and it seemed to be more confused, and it took a long time to take another step.
On the eighteenth day of the first month, Prince Jin remarried.
Although Concubine Qi planned to do it according to the ceremony of the wedding, a group of officials made a lot of opposition, citing the emptiness of the treasury and the reduction of royal expenditures. The new emperor and the Empress Dowager Xian liked to watch Concubine Qi eat deflated the most, and secretly applauded this opposition, and issued a simple will to the Department of Internal Affairs. The newly appointed eldest duke is the person of the Empress Dowager Xian, and he has no time to please, saying that the remarriage of Prince Jin this time is not good compared with the wedding of the six princes that year, the former is a palace affair, and the latter is a family affair of King Jin's mansion, so it cannot be like the treatment of Princess Lan, and the palace will replace the woman with a few hundred dowries, and the dowry should be the responsibility of the woman's mother's family. And because it was in King Jin's mansion, there was no need to make any preparations in the palace, and it was just to add a sum of money to the expenses of King Jin that month.
Concubine Qi was angry, but the Department of Internal Affairs was reasonable, so she couldn't object, so she had to spend her own money, bought a hundred dowries for Yu Sibi, and allocated 10,000 taels to the account room of King Jin's mansion, asking that the wedding should not be sloppy. She didn't want Yu Sibi's family to appear, and took care of Yu Jia's family to keep her mouth shut, lest Yu Sibi's identity and the fact that she was not a yellow flower girl spread the word, and arranged for An Guohou and his wife to recognize Yu Sibi as a righteous daughter and marry from the Hou Mansion. She took such painstaking efforts, of course, to pave the way for Yu Sibi to be sealed in the future. However, if she knew that her son had "embezzled" the 10,000 taels of wedding money, she would probably be able to breathe fire.
Supported by the two official media women, Yu Sibi crossed the threshold of the gate of King Jin's mansion, and her heart finally fell to the ground.
Today, she is dissatisfied with the eight people carrying an ordinary sedan chair, the only twenty or thirty people in the greeting procession, the monotonous joy and lack of spectators along the way, the sparse sound of firecrackers in front of the door, and all kinds of dissatisfaction. She asked the girls to inquire about the wedding of the six princes, it is said that it is a grand ceremony that can even overshadow the prince's wedding, thousands of empty alleys, ten streets of scenery, even if the victims launched a difficulty, the calm appearance of the six princesses added luster to the grand ceremony and won a considerable reputation. Naturally, when she first learned that the marriage between Prince Jin and herself was decided, she hoped that the wedding would be more luxurious and gorgeous, and beat the rumored great Sixth Princess. Later, although she knew from her mother-in-law that she couldn't do a big deal, her vanity did not diminish much, so such a boring welcome was too far from her expectations.
If it hadn't been married once, this time it would have been much more decent than the dowry at that time, and the number of dowry bearers would barely expand the wedding party by more than 100, and besides, in any case, thinking of the fact that she finally became the concubine of King Jin, Yu Sibi was still excited and happy. She decided that on the day she was crowned queen, she must let the people of the entire imperial capital worship her outside the palace gate, and ask them to make a golden stone statue for her and worship her like a god. She wants to be the most noble woman in the world, no matter how beautiful and capable a woman is, she has to bow down to her, and it is also their glory to lift shoes for her.
Yu Sibi was swimming in her daydream, and when she heard the matchmaker say the word groom, her heart was about to fly. It's a pity that she didn't fly off the ground in a breath, and Xiao Pozi's words made her fall heavily.
"The prince ordered a small message, these two days in the court in a row seven adults died violently, the situation is strict, the emperor gave the cabinet a ten-day deadline to find out the reason, although he has no official position, but can not be at home leisurely, decided to go to the military division with the prince Zheng to help, if you can't come back to worship the hall in time, let the small one hold the court clothes given by the new emperor and the king, and send the mother into the cave room on his behalf."
She should have expected it! let the good news of being able to marry him get carried away, and he still hated this and that, thinking that one day he would overshadow Nanyue Lansheng's limelight. Yu Sibi bit the corner of her lip, and the taste of blood on the tip of her tongue made her gradually sober up. She is too careless, only by subduing this man, just like Uncle Shi subdued the first emperor, can she be truly beautiful, and she can have what she wants. Therefore, she can't be angry, she can't get angry, and she can't even say a word of complaint, even if she knows that what Xiao Pozi said is a lie at all. Lord Jin cares about national affairs? She had always known that there was nothing that interested him except for fun.
To tell the truth, she really wanted to ask Princess Qianjin what method she used to make the originally amorous man afraid of guilt, not daring to play with women, only daring to play competitive fights and the like, and even went down the court, this man is still scruples, and he can't marry her by himself. But-
"The big thing is important, the marriage between the concubine and the prince was requested by Concubine Qi, the name of the husband and wife has been decided, and the worship hall is just a number of ceremonies for the guests, it doesn't matter." Yu Sibi remembered her uncle's instructions, calmed down from her ecstatic mood, and had to build her foundation steadily, as long as Hyun Jinfeng was a real man, she would become her man sooner or later.
"The new concubine is really understanding." Xiao Pozi's laughter was astringent, and he couldn't help laughing, "Because the Empress Dowager doesn't like extravagance, and the emperor and the prince are both filial people, respect her old man, today is a simple one, and no guests are invited, but there is still a happy hall for worship, and the prince also takes care of the whole house must celebrate for you, so ten tables of family banquets are set up to compensate." When the time comes, the little one will toast you a few more glasses on behalf of the prince and you. ”
"New concubine?" The hands under the big red brocade sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
"The prince has earned you the title of the new princess."
Yu Sibi couldn't wait to grit her silver teeth and humiliate her so far!
But I don't know that the one is not a good person to everyone. Or, it should be said, that the last conscience is reserved only for one person. (To be continued......)
