Chapter 15 Knotting
?
Qi Min and the Gao family lived in Shaoyang Soup, which was not far from the Nine Dragons Palace. I don't need them to fix the province every morning and dusk, as long as I let Yuan Xi accompany Baoyue to play for a while in the afternoon, and I can take advantage of this time to take a good look at Yuan Xi.
I didn't have the time to meet with Enlightenment alone, and I still pointed out that Frostfall was waiting for them, not expecting Frostfall to betray Enlightenment and stand on my side, but I could only express my dissatisfaction with Enlightenment in this way.
In Layue, the king of Jiangling County entered Beijing to ask for peace, and when he saw his father who was sick in the 'bed', he cried bitterly, and the palace people on both sides wept when they saw it. I quietly withdrew from the dormitory, leaving time for the seemingly filial father and son.
When he came out, he met Qi Min who came in from the outside, he glanced at the inner hall and asked, "The king of Gangneung is here?"
"Yes, is King Langya looking for the King of Jiangling? I said with a smile.
He looked left and right at me and whispered, "I have something to tell you." ”
I took a few steps closer to him, but I didn't hold my back and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
He looked at me helplessly, lowered his voice and said, "There will be a large number of official transfers in the coming year, and I'm afraid it will involve your people." ”
"Really?" I had a faint smile on my face, and the corners of my lips had a sneering smile, "I thought it wasn't just me who was hurt by the prince's reign! It turns out that the prince is the beneficiary, but I don't know if the prince still remembers the promise of the year?"
"The crown prince has just come to power, and he is still ......"
"It's not the time yet! I smiled coldly at him, "The prince is getting more and more like a fish in water, I hope the fresh 'flowers' will not 'blind' your eyes and make you forget your true purpose." ”
He looked at me solemnly and said in a deep voice, "I will never forget." ”
After opposing for a while, the king of Jiangling County came out of it, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, he saluted Qi Min, and said to me sadly: "Queen Mother, my son has a reluctant request. ”
I was alert and sighed, "It's rare for you to come back, just say what you have." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, my father is seriously ill, and your 'leg' disease has not yet healed. So the sons thought that if they could ask the queen mother for permission to let the sons and daughters 'serve' their fathers and emperors in order to fulfill their filial piety, so that the queen mother could also have a good rest. ”
His words were earnest, and his words were reasonable, and if I had not known his ambitions, I would have been touched by him.
I let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Qi has really grown up, but can you withstand your father's approval for this matter?"
His eyes flickered, and he said evasively: "As long as the queen mother makes a statement to the father, the father will definitely grant it." ”
I smiled slightly and said, "Your father always has a bit of a temper, and he doesn't want others to 'serve' the illness since he was sick, and I am always by my side." If you don't worry about your father, you can stay here, and if you want to meet your second brother, you can also go back to Xijing. ”
Staying here can certainly get in touch with Qi Heng, but Qi Heng is not a person who has a 'daughter' relationship, if he goes back to Xijing, he can still have contact with his former staff. Whether he really cares about his father's illness or is for power depends on his choice.
He rolled his eyes twice, and said with a smile: "I want to come here to take care of the queen mother, and my father will get better soon, my son has not yet gone to Xijing from Jiangling, and the second brother has not congratulated me in person as a younger brother, so I ......"
"I understand, when you plan to go, just talk to your father. "Heavenly home, it is indeed the place that pays least attention to family affection. "By the way, is your mother okay?"
"Thank you for the queen mother's thoughts, the mother's body is all right. ”
"That's good. I smiled and nodded, Sister Hefei, my good sister, you must take good care of your body, and wait until the day I come to ask for my life!
A few days later, the king of Jiangling County resigned to the emperor, saying that he was going to Xijing to meet his second brother and visit his former friends by the way.
Qi Heng's face was calm, and he didn't say anything.
When Baoyue greeted him in the evening, he said: "It's still a 'girl' who is caring." "Made me laugh for a long time.
As soon as the first month passed, the official order came to Qiheng, and at the same time, I also had a copy in my hand, which was given to me by Qimi. I found the name of the eldest brother: I was transferred from the Imperial Historical Observatory to the Hanlin Academy to compile books, and that was an idle errand to send those old scholars! The second brother was transferred from Youzhou to Chenghua County, Fengzhou, which was not only far away, but also rampant thieves! Zhongran was released from the Sixth Ministry and appointed as the county commander of Changle County in Fuzhou, which is also a remote and barren place! I don't want to look at the rest anymore, in short, the important members of the so-called "Hou Party" have been completely far away from the center of political power, and the back road that I have managed to run with great difficulty has been cut off by the prince!
Qiheng, this time you are relieved, right? Now even if I want to think about it, I can't!
I slowly exhaled the anger in my chest, smoothed out the rotten order again, and looked at it carefully. The people in important positions are basically *** people, and a few of them were appointed by Qiheng in the past, and it seems that the prince has not been completely 'blinded' by power. However, that's not what I want to see. If they want to make a gap between father and son, the crown prince should forget his father.
When he returned the order to Qi Min, he said to him: "Find a way to pull down the emperor's old men." ”
Qi Min glanced at me and bowed slightly, it seemed that he was also in favor.
I walked into the dormitory with a bowl of 'medicine', and looked at the 'bed' habitually, but I didn't see Qi Heng, I was shocked, and I looked around, but found that Qi Heng was sitting in front of the mirror.
My hands almost trembled, and I exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty......! Can you get up?"
He looked at the mirror with his back to me and said, "I've been lying down for too long, my hair is a little messy, Auntie, help me brush it up." ”
"Yes. "With tears in my eyes, I put the 'medicine' bowl aside and walked over to help him comb his hair.
His hair was stiff, with knots in some places and broke after a few combs. His temples were still gray, no more, no less.
"Did the emperor just come by himself? This is good, I think it won't be long before you can walk without support, right?" I gently combed his hair while talking.
He picked up the scissors on the table and cut a tuft of hair down, and I was about to ask, but he said, "Auntie, you cut a strand of your hair." ”
I didn't know why, but I obediently cut a strand to him. He put the two strands together, divided them into three strands, and braided them into a braid, which he tied with a red rope.
Looking at the few silver hairs mixed in the inky green silk, my tears rolled down.
married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful.
"Auntie, remember that after I died, put this in the palm of my hand. ”
"Qiheng......" I choked up several times and couldn't speak.
But I forgot that his warmth was never given in vain. When I was still moved, I heard him say again: "When the time comes, find a temple and become a monk!" Without power, Erlang will not embarrass you, and for your forbearance, he will also give Baoyue a good future in the future. ”
