Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qi and Hao have been fighting for many years, and the two sides are on the same footing, and it is not easy for the two countries to reach an armistice agreement during the first emperor. This marriage was also set by the first emperor and the current monarch of Nan Hao, at that time, Daqi was in crisis, internal and external troubles, and the first emperor wanted to take advantage of this marriage to give Daqi a little time to recuperate.

Although Nan Hao's side responded back then, he obviously lacked interest in this marriage, so the marriage dragged on and on, and it has been delayed until today.

Now that the Nine Emperor Uncle is seriously ill, and the father is still so high-profile, he has spread this matter to everyone, and Wuhajialou and his party have been in Beijing for two months, and this matter must not be hidden from Wuhajialou's ears and eyes.

The Nine Emperor Uncles are a treasure sword of the Great Qi.

With him, he can deter Siyi, even Nan Hao does not dare to send troops against Daqi easily.

In case the Nine Emperor Uncles have a case, if Nan Hao wants to tear up the peace treaty, Daqi is afraid that it will usher in another bloody storm.

Several pavilion elders exchanged glances with each other, and their expressions became solemn.

In fact, they clearly understood in their hearts that the emperor was just a momentary gaffe.

If Wuhajialou really colluded with King Chen, then he should choose to leave Daqi as soon as possible now.

But instead of hurrying to leave, he stayed.

The reason why he didn't leave was probably to see if King Chen was really terminally ill......

One of the cabinet ministers in his fifties stubbornly chimed in: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. It is difficult for the great prince of Wuhe to make a great envoy, and the marriage should be promoted as soon as possible. ”

On the day of Wanshou Day, the scene when the emperor provoked the Uhajia Tower in public is still fresh in everyone's memory.

They could all see that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Uhajialou.

But Hao is strong and weak, and it is really unwise to turn his face with Wuhajialou at this time. To tell the truth, the emperor's indifference to Uhajialou and his party these days has made them very uneasy.

Fortunately, Uhagaru believed in Buddhism and had a gentle temperament, so he did not turn his face, and thanks to the prince's remedy, the scene was not too ugly.

Now while Uhajialou is in Beijing, it is best to set the family affairs quickly.

Several pavilion elders echoed one after another:

"Your Majesty, my princess of Daqi and the eldest prince of Nan Hao are also talented and beautiful, and in the future, the two of them will give birth to a child with the blood of Daqi to succeed Nan Hao to the throne, and the two countries can be truly peaceful!"

"Master Li has a point."

"Your Majesty, when I recuperate, it is not impossible to bring Nanhao back to the territory and unify the Central Plains in the future."

“……”

Everyone held the emperor with good words, racking their brains to say all the good words.

The emperor's face finally eased a lot, and it sounded very useful, as if he had seen the scene of the Nanhao people bowing their knees to him in the future and he would dominate the Central Plains.

Thinking that Gu Jue was critically ill and thinking about Xuanjing Dao Chang, the emperor was finally happy again.

The gods descended from heaven to help him cultivate and become an immortal, and he must be the lord of the four seas!

Seeing that the emperor was relieved, the first assistant of the cabinet immediately proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down and discuss this matter with Haoren?" ”

This proposal was echoed by other cabinet ministers.

The emperor was not interested in summoning Uhajialou at all, so he responded without thinking: "Prince, then this matter will be left to you." ”

Gu Nanjin: "......"

The corner of Gu Nanjin's eyes twitched, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

This is a marriage between the two countries, of course, it is negotiated by the emperor of the country, which seems to be more sincere.

Could it be that in the heart of his father, would the Hao people grovel to him like those vassal clans?!

That's Nan Hao!

Gu Nanjin's forehead was aching faintly, and he was even more unsure about this marriage.

Last time he looked at the attitude of Wuhajialou, he was obviously not very happy with this marriage, and his attitude also represented the attitude of Emperor Hao, Gu Nanjin was not sure if he could negotiate the marriage, but his father still looked condescending.

But in the current situation, if his father comes forward, Gu Nanjin is also afraid that he will offend people at home, so that there is no room for things to turn around.

He thought about it again and again, but after all, he was unwilling to persuade him, so he responded: "Yes, father." ”

As the voice fell, the ministers, including the cabinet chief, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the emperor's temperament had become more and more joyful and changeable during this time.

After the business was over, the emperor continued to inspect the homework of several princes, and the crown prince Gu Nanjin retreated.

As the crown prince, he has begun to get involved in court politics, and he is already busy with government affairs, so he came to the study and gave birth to two additional things, which really made him want to give birth to three heads and six arms.

Gu Nanjin first went to the East Palace to meet a few advisers, and several people were locked in the study for a long time to discuss, and in the afternoon of the same day, some posts were sent from the East Palace and sent to the mansions of some clan nobles in Beijing, inviting everyone to play polo.

One of the posts was also sent to the Marquis of Yongding's mansion.

The Hou Mansion boiled for a moment, and immediately a little maid rushed to Rongfutang to report to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai, someone from the East Palace sent a post." ”

Mrs. Tai was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry up, please." ”

She smiled and wrinkled deeply.

Mama Wang saw that Mrs. Tai was happy, and said jokingly: "Mrs. Tai, it is a great honor to get the post of the East Palace, the slave maid heard that in March, the East Palace sent a flower appreciation post, and even the Jing'an Hou Mansion did not get the post." ”

Mrs. Tai listened more and more comfortably, her waist straightened up, and there was a little more arrogance between her eyebrows.

Their Yongding Marquis Mansion is a marquis of Emperor Taizu, and the viscounts of Jing'an Marquis Mansion have not passed three generations, which is naturally different.

After a while, another little maid brought in a little waiter in Tsing Yi.

The little waiter in Tsing Yi was very arrogant, and in the face of Mrs. Tai, he just waved his hand casually, and said lukewarmly: "The villain is here to send a post to Miss Chu's second girl." ”

As if she had been slapped on the spot, Mrs. Tai smiled, and her face suddenly became very unsightly.

Mrs. Tai looked at the apricot yellow post in the hand of the little chamberlain, and originally thought how glorious it was, but now she felt how bad it was.

At this moment, this post is no different from a life talisman in her eyes.

She barely squeezed out a smile, and forced a smile on her face and instructed Mama Wang: "You take this father-in-law to the doctor's side." ”

The corners of the little chamberlain in Tsing Yi twitched, and he still looked smiling on his round face, but when he turned around, he flicked his sleeves unabashedly, feeling that this Yongding Marquis Mansion was simply inexplicable.

Can't they call Miss Chu Er over!

After the little chamberlain walked out of Rongfu Hall with Mama Wang, there was a sound of smashing things in the room behind, and the people in the courtyard all clamped their tails one by one.

The atmosphere in the hall was stiff and solemn, and the same was true in the main courtyard, and there was a dullness of unknown meaning in the air.

The eldest maid who went to Tongyu Shen didn't invite anyone in at all, and politely said to the little servant: "Little father-in-law, please go to the wing room with the slave and maid for a while, and the slave and maid will send someone to summon the second girl." ”

Little Father-in-law Li didn't expect that this Mrs. Hou didn't even plan to see him, his face sank instantly, and he said angrily: "Lead the way!" ”

What kind of Joe does a mere Mrs. Hou take?!

Li's little father-in-law was almost about to turn his face, but he was afraid that if he smashed such a simple errand, he would only be unlucky, so he could only follow a little girl to the side room and wait.

The Shen family, who was hated by Li Xiaogong, didn't deliberately put on a show, she was not in the mood to greet the people in the East Palace at all, and she was so shocked that her mood had not calmed down yet.

There were only two people in the room, Shen and Mama Chen, and the others were all sent back.

"When did this happen?" Shen asked eagerly.

Mama Chen also looked solemn, "It was the day before yesterday." ”

"The afternoon before yesterday, Mama Yu went to her son's tavern, and on the way, a flower pot fell from the third floor of a restaurant, which happened to hit her and dragged her, smashing the person's head and bleeding, and she fell unconscious on the spot......"

"The Lu family invited many doctors in the county, but Mama Yu was injured on the head, and the person disappeared in the middle of the night."

"Yesterday, the Lu family went to the restaurant where the incident occurred to make trouble, crying and making trouble and burning paper money, the shopkeeper of the restaurant said that the flower pot was blown down by the wind, and their owner was willing to lose money, and the two sides bargained for half an hour, and finally the restaurant lost a total of 1,000 taels of silver to the Lu family, and the matter was peaceful."

"The matter didn't make trouble to the yamen."

Mama Chen said what had happened.

As the saying goes, if the people don't sue the officials, they won't be held accountable.

Ordinary people are afraid of the government, so they don't dare to get into trouble with the officials, and the officials and businessmen also don't want to get involved in lawsuits, for fear of ruining their reputation.

Therefore, many things often do not reach the government, and they will be solved quietly in private.

At first glance, this incident sounded like a simple accident, but the more Shen listened, the more frightened he became.

There are many unpredictable accidents in life, and it is not uncommon to encounter a startled horse when you go out, and you are accidentally killed and lame.

Mama Yu has lived a good life for so many years, and she has lived a good life as a squire and a rich family since she was released, but she ordered someone to check on her, and she suddenly died by accident, how can there be so many coincidences in this world!

Chu Qianchen's nurse died of illness when she was six years old, her stable wife moved her family away, and she didn't know where she was, and now even the housekeeper Mama Yu happened to die at this time, so many "coincidences", it is not a coincidence at all.

Shen's heartbeat "suddenly" accelerated, and his face became more and more solemn.

She couldn't help but have a thought in her heart: there must be a person hidden behind these coincidences, and this person did not want her to investigate this matter by doing this? That's why the insider was "killed" in various ways.

Shen's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he slowly closed his eyes.

When she closed her eyes, her expression was dignified and gentle, and in the sun, her face was slightly gloomy, and the clenched hands showed that she was not as calm as she seemed at the moment.

Her heart seemed to set off one huge wave after another, wave after wave, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.

There was silence all around, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive as the silence continued.

Outside the house, there was a dull chirping of cicadas, and the sound of mourning.

Just when Mama Chen felt that she was almost out of breath, Shen opened her eyes, and her eyes also settled.

She asked softly, "You didn't disclose the fact that I asked you to go to the Guogong Mansion to borrow someone, did you?" ”

"No, you personally told me about this, and no one said anything about it." Mama Chen said busily, and then she told her how she personally went to Mu Guogong's Mansion that day and found the Duchess of Guo to borrow someone.

On that day, Shen and Chu Qianchen had just gone to the Guogong Mansion and brought Gu Zhiyan back, and Mama Chen was also afraid that she would be suspicious if she went again, so she also brought two boxes of watermelons that had just been sent from Zhuangzi, and went out under the pretense of Shen's filial piety.

She casually greeted the porter when she left the house, and after that, she never specifically mentioned to anyone that she went to the Guogong Mansion to deliver watermelons.

Shen clenched the handkerchief tighter, and his fingertips turned slightly white as a result.

She asked impatiently, "If you think about it again, have you really not told anyone else?" ”

"Maybe it's a sentence or two you inadvertently leaked the news......"

Some things are unintentional to be said, but the listener is intentional, Mama Chen may just say a word casually, but it is not easy to say it when someone hears some clues.

So, Mama Chen carefully recalled the events of the day again, and said affirmatively: "No ......"

Wait a minute!

Mama Chen's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered.

By the way, when she went out of this room that day, she happened to see the eldest girl Chu Qianhuang and said a few words to her.

Under Shen's inquiring gaze, Mama Chen said truthfully: "That day, before the slave maid went out of the Guogong Mansion from here, she saw the eldest girl ...... under the corridor."
