Chapter 167: The Secret That Can't Be Said
Yao Qianyu's cousin Yao Xinyan is a lively and lovely girl, her appearance is a few points better than Yao Qianyu, she is shorter, she is only sixteen years old, she is not completely raised, she belongs to the petite and cute type, almost a lotus.
She went to Jingyuan City under the escort of her brother Yao Qiliang and went on a blind date with Emperor "Chongzhen". Both of them agreed to this family business, but in the process of talking, it seemed that they were a little cold, and they had no common language.
When she got home, Yao Xinyan complained to her sisters-in-law, feeling that she was too pathetic, Cai Zhouzhou knew a man, and he was going to get married without knowing it.
Yao Qiliang observed Ao Bai's face, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Shang, don't be so ignorant, if it's not your brother-in-law, how can you have a chance to marry the emperor as a concubine, such a good thing is cultivated in several lifetimes." ”
Everyone thinks that the emperor's choice of concubine cannot be shirked, so they think that she must enter the palace. Ao Bai thought about it, but said: "You can get along for a while, if you don't feel it and don't like it, I'll go and tell him, pick up someone, there's no need to force yourself." ”
Yao Xinyan said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, can you really discuss?" That's the emperor, if I don't agree, will it have any impact on my family? ”
Ao Bai smiled: "What is the impact." The emperor is very talkative, almost the same as my brother, if he doesn't like to enter the palace, he just says it, it's very simple. He said that he was thinking too much if he didn't leave. I'll ask tomorrow. You're too young now, and it's not too late to wait until you're a few years older to get married. What type of people do you like? ”
Yao Xinyan grinned and said: "I like to be tall and mighty, to be both civil and military, but also to know how to be considerate and respectful of people." It's good to be like a brother-in-law. ”
Yao Qianyu grabbed her shoulders and said, "What's the matter, he's a hooligan." My sister owed him in her previous life, so she ran into him. ”
Hai Lanzhu also patted her head and said like a child: "Yes, if you are looking for a man, you must find someone who is not careful, and my sister was also deceived by him." ”
I can't find a wife anymore when I leave, unless I like it very much, what do you think of me now? Even such a young child is given preventive forceps, for fear that I will eat her, do I seem to blame my uncle?
Yao Xinyan said curiously: "Brother-in-law, your relationship with the emperor is really good, what kind of person is he?" When I saw him, I was a little nervous and didn't say much. People outside say he's a faint gentleman. ”
He Rupet sighed unhappily: "Xinyan, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it's troublesome to be heard."
Ao Bai smiled: "He is not a faint king, when I chatted with him for a reason, he thought something wrong, and when I refuted him, I often said to him directly: If you listen to those traitors, it is a faint king, a stupid melon." , he is not angry at this. Since you are not angry and can still absorb opinions, then you can teach you not to faint. ”
He Rupet fainted directly. "You actually scolded the emperor? What if he gets angry one day? ”
When I got angry, I cut off his neck and buried him, and that's already the case. Ao Bai smiled: "I'm not bullying the emperor, it's just that there are some things that must be understood by him, so the tone of my voice is a little heavier, it's okay." We've always been friends."
Yao Xinyan asked again: "Then why does the outside say that he killed a lot of loyal ministers, and he is too suspicious or something." ”
Ao Bai said with a smile: "Those are traitorous ministers, but they are very well-connected and they are all literati, writing articles to spread rumors, belittling and elevating themselves." Those people don't like me, too. In fact, I persuaded him to order many people to be killed. Most of the officials in the court do nothing but be corrupt, these facts, the surname Bai Yuan doesn't know, do you think I'm a bad person? There are many people who impeach me. ”
Yao Xinyan blinked and said, "Brother-in-law, are you really going to talk about it, so I don't have to enter the palace?" Then you are a good person. ”
What is this theory? Ao Bai covered his forehead and said, "If you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, you won't enter, and no one will force you." Now I don't have to worry about food or clothing, there is no need to grieve myself for the other party's status, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to talk about it. ”
The Yao family is a family of military generals, Yao Xinyan is used to seeing her family with guns and sticks, and prefers strong and powerful men, and "Chongzhen" must not have anything to do with being strong.
The next day, Ao Bai entered the palace early in the morning and found that "Chongzhen" was chatting with Zhou Yaohou, and the two were talking and laughing. He felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
For Queen Zhou, Ao Bai has always had a headache. She is Zhu Youzhen's wife, and she knows Zhu Youzhen very well when she leaves, if she wasn't pregnant, Ao Bai would definitely want to kill her secretly, and then say that she died of illness. He reminded "Chongzhen" not to touch too much with Empress Zhou.
After Empress Zhou retreated, Ao Bai asked anxiously, "When did you become so close to her?" ”
"Chongzhen" sighed: "Brother, I said don't scold me, she already knows that I am a fake." ”
Ao Bai rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he was still too merciful, wouldn't he be in trouble for himself by leaving her alive? has been a husband and wife for a few years, how can you not find flaws? But he couldn't do this by killing a pregnant woman.
"Did she say anything?"
"Chongzhen" said lightly: "After the trouble in the palace that day, she asked me why I talked to you about it, I said that the conversation was very good, her expression was very strange, and then she asked me why I didn't go back to the palace to sleep, I don't know what to do, and then she said that she knew that I was another person, but she wouldn't tell others." ”
"When?"
"Three days ago." "Chongzhen" frowned and asked, "You're not going to kill her, are you?" She still has a baby in her belly. ”
"Do you think I'm a beast? If you want to kill, you have already killed it. If you don't tell me these three days, what if she betrays us? ”
"Chongzhen" Zhengse said: "We talked about it, she won't say it, she just wants to live."
Ao Bai shook his head and said, "I'll talk to her too, as long as she doesn't say it, it's fine." ”
"Chongzhen" called Queen Zhou back, asked the eunuchs and maids to leave, left space for them, and said, "You guys talk first, I'll leave for a while." ”
Empress Zhou bowed to Ao and said lightly: "What does Taifu want to talk to me about?" ”
Ao Bai sat down on the side and said lightly: "Let's make it clear, when did you find out?" ”
Empress Zhou sighed: "The emperor took the brocade guard back to the palace, and suddenly killed all the cronies around me, I think it's very strange, since that day, he hasn't been in the same room with me, I talk to him, and he still avoids me." The next day, he will join you in the palace to deal with the Donglin Party. I was even more suspicious, and I went to ask him a few questions at night that only we knew, and he couldn't answer, so I asked her to sleep with me, and he didn't even dare to touch me, just like a stranger, and I realized that something was wrong. Shake hands and play dedication. Originally, I thought I was going to die, but he never did anything to me, and I didn't see him like a bad person, so I told him that I had guessed the true picture. ”
has been a husband and wife for so long, and suddenly her husband has changed into a virgin man, and he doesn't dare to touch it, so it's strange if he can't see it: Ao Bai frowned and said, "If you tell him, aren't you afraid of being wiped out?" ”
Empress Zhou said lightly: "My marriage is just a political marriage, my family let me marry him for the sake of the family, but we have no relationship at all, I am like a servant by her side, after becoming the emperor, although I became the queen, I have never been happy." He was busy with politics and was depressed every day, and I wanted to help him, but if I gave him a little advice, he would yell at me and take his anger out on me. The court minister impeached you, saying that you made a black stone village in Shanxi, he was very angry that day, and when he came back, I said good things for you, he beat me ......, I didn't like him at all, and now I feel like a relief. ”
The pressure at work is too great, and the man who beats his wife when he goes home is indeed bad enough, not to mention that his wife is pregnant. Ao Bai didn't expect to hear such a royal secret one day. He sighed and said, "Has he always been bad to you?" ”
Empress Zhou nodded, and said lightly: "I envy your wife, you are very good to them, when you came to Jingyuan City, you taught his husband, I chatted with Hai Lanzhu and them, and I felt that they were very happy...... I know you're a good person, a man who does great things, and if you want to kill me and keep the secret, I'll admit it. I only beg you to let me give birth to the child, and the child is innocent. ”
She spoke very calmly, and Ji Bai felt a little surprised, this woman was much stronger than he thought. Ao Bai said lightly: "If you don't say it, I will never kill you." You continue to be the queen, I never thought of killing you, although it is a little detrimental to me, and I have come to this point to change this country. I'm sorry for losing your husband. I will take your child and I will treat it as my own. Can I trust you? ”
Keeping a woman, she is lonely, as long as she doesn't leave the palace and has no people to support her, nothing can change.
Empress Zhou gently wiped her tears and said lightly: "I won't say it." Taifu, can you often come into the palace to talk to me? ”
Queen Zhou was born very beautiful, she became Princess Xin at the age of sixteen, and now she is only nineteen years old, and she is still a catty. The little girl's last request was a bit reverie.
Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "If I often enter the palace, it will make people gossip." You can chat with the emperor and trust him. People are nice and will respect you. ”
Empress Zhou nodded, looking a little disappointed.
Ao Bai called "Chongzhen" in, and in front of Queen Zhou, said: "It's been negotiated, and now the three of us know this catty, the secret, and no one can tell it." Let's smooth out the relationship. ”
"Chongzhen" smiled: "Brother, I knew you wouldn't hurt your mother." ”
"You knew you were hiding it from me before?" Ao Bai looked at Queen Zhou and said solemnly: "In Jingbi City, except for the people of He Mansion, I have no relatives, as long as you are willing, I can be your brother." I'll be a good brother. ”
Empress Zhou smiled and said, "I do." ”
Ao Bai said, "What about the two of you?" ”
"Chongzhen" smiled: "Let's be friends." In the palace, I also have someone to talk to. ”
Empress Zhou also nodded, but her smile was a little bitter. "Chongzhen," of course, the man above said lightly, she stayed in the palace with a woman's family, but she was a widow at a young age. Ao Fu thinks that she is so beautiful, and it is miserable enough to not marry again, or let Yinying get along with her more, and when she gives birth to a child, Yinying will become a lewd eagle. There's no hurry, let's see. Knowing that the marriage between Queen Zhou and Zhu Youzhen was not happy, Ao Bai suddenly had an idea, not only to help "Chongzhen" solve lifelong events, but also to make money.
After sending Queen Zhou away, he chatted with "Chongzhen" about family matters. "Chongzhen" sighed: "Xinyan is very beautiful, but she doesn't seem to like me and the type, I have no problem, but is this really good?" ”
"Of course it's not good, how can you be together if you don't like each other?" Ao Bai asked, "What type do you like?" "Chongzhen" thought about it and said with a smile: "I don't know anymore."
Zhengtai and Luo Fei, who don't understand anything, are really troublesome, and Aobai smiled: "What you like, just look for it." It's very happy that you agreed to this family business, but on the one hand, you also want to have a relationship with me, so you can trust each other more, right? Some of my actions will indeed make people suspicious, but don't worry, I won't harm you, as long as you don't become an addiction to being an emperor and want to kill people who know the true situation. ”
"Chongzhen" Zhengse said: "I can swear to heaven that I will never harm you." Just my two moments, I can't even pass the show, how can I be the emperor? Originally, I wanted to be Jinyiwei today, and I would be very happy to be a soldier by your side. Now that it's like this, I eat and drink well every day, and I'm already very happy. It's too tiring to be an emperor, I can't watch it every day, if it weren't for the silver eagle to help me, I would be tired to death, and I would have to go to the court every morning...... Brother, can you give you the throne as soon as possible and change to be the king of faith? ”
Ao Bai observed the eyes of "Chongzhen", there was no hypocrisy, he really didn't want to be the emperor. Zhu Ranzhen also complained before, being a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people is really painful, but being a faint monarch is much happier. Zhu Youzhen didn't have to care about anything when he was the king of letters, he ate, drank and had fun every day, and he also had time to find him to practice as a husband, if Zhu Youzhen had always been the king of letters, then he wouldn't have to die: Thinking of this, he sighed.
He had made an appointment with "Chongzhen", and two years later, "Chongzhen" recognized him as a descendant of Emperor Jianwen, and then gave him the throne. During this time, the two had to work together to put the court in order.
Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Now you give it to me, no one will support this decision." It's easy to do things in the early dynasty, you can change the system, don't go to the court every day in the future, change it to once every five days, even so, it's much faster than Wanli and Tianqiqin.
Sometimes it's not that more than the court can have a positive effect, anyway, there is nothing to discuss, they have something to do, and they just wait for the news. Some reforms have been made, but they can't be passed after much discussion.
I have a suggestion, in order to find a wife who is in your heart, what will happen if we hold a blind date in Beijing City? "Chongzhen" was curious: "What is a blind date?" ”
