Chapter 186: The main outdoor house
The out-of-Tokyo mansion where Li Lianqiao lives has long been a good place for Zhao Guangyi to relax, whether he is worried about running errands in the yamen, or he can't talk to Princess Jin anymore, he will come here and meet Li Lianyi.
It's ridiculous to say, the more high-ranking a man is, the more unfree he will actually be on the female side.
For example, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, there are a lot of absurdities, the most famous is Emperor Zhengde, there is a Peking Opera called "Dragon and Phoenix", which is the story of Zhengde running to Meilong Town, seeing the eldest sister Li Feng, who sells wine, flirting with her, and finally making her a concubine.
Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong acted in this play together, in life, Mei Lanfang was her husband and Meng Xiaodong was a concubine; On the stage, Meng Xiaodong is the king, and Mei Lanfang is the shyly wine sister.
The founding emperor could generally have all kinds of women, because they basically all had another identity, and they were all martial artists.
You robbed the women of the deceased monarch as concubines, and accepted some women contributed by tribes and fanstates as concubines, no one will say anything about you, but the emperor who guards the success will be controlled by civil officials.
For example, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, although there were dozens of women in the palace, but the palace was really not free.
And at four o'clock in the morning, I have to prepare for the court, which is actually very hard.
On the contrary, some princes don't do any work, buy slaves and save maids, and they are very comfortable.
But Zhao Guangyi is obviously not such a prince, because he has an ambition to be an emperor.
Today we see that if the emperor's younger brother has thoughts about the throne, he will feel that this is a great rebellion, in fact, in the troubled times of the five dynasties, it is not uncommon to set up a "imperial brother", among the ten countries, the brother and the brother are not in the minority, to the early Qing Dynasty, the regent Dolgon is the actual ruler after the death of Huang Taiji, and after his death was posthumously recognized as the emperor, and the real emperor is one step away.
Sometimes the family will really make some decisions to keep their overall power, instead of thinking about one person's son and considering whether the person's son is the heir.
Zhao Guangyi's age is right, if he is only two or three years younger than Zhao Kuangyin, he is not a person who can entrust the throne, he is more than ten years younger, then he has a household registration that seeks to usurp the throne, which is too suitable.
This outer house is close enough from Fengfu, and far enough away from the Jin Palace, Princess Fu also once asked the King of Jin, if you are tired of working overtime in Kaifeng Mansion, where to rest, after all, although Kaifeng Mansion has a room for Fu Yin to rest, but it is quite simple, Zhao Guangyi is also very generous, and told the princess that behind Kaifeng Mansion, I got a small house for meditation and meditation.
The princess was also very eager at first, and she was thinking about going to see what the conditions of this studio were, whether to buy and buy things that were covered with covers, but the prince was a little panicked when he heard it.
"No, no, this room is for pure heart, I am practicing meditation and worshipping Buddha there, you are a woman, it is inconvenient to enter."
Fu Shi saw that Zhao Guangyi was so panicked, and probably Qi also understood, this is where women are raised, but if you see through it, this is the virtue of the main room, originally he was the prince, there are a few more women, and the princess can't pick on it.
But Fu has an additional plan:
If a woman can't be brought to the main room, then there is any ulterior trouble, she is not afraid of anything else, she is afraid that the woman the prince meets is a spy or an assassin, if these two things are involved, the trouble will be big.
But every time she mentioned it generously and asked Zhao Guangyi to bring the girl to the house to let herself see, Zhao Guangyi looked earnest: "Ah, it's funny, how can there be any girl!" ”
Zhao Guangyi is also a stomach full of bitter water.
First of all, Li Lianqiao is the eldest princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, all contact with her can be regarded as an extension of the relationship between the two countries, theoretically, every time you spend the Spring Festival with Li Lianqiao, you should report to the emperor's eldest brother, but a man doesn't want to be so stupid, right, go out to steal a love and go back to report to the boss, where is the happiness of stealing?
Secondly, Li Forsythia is older than herself, the princess is in her early twenties, Li Forsythia is in her thirties, even with the blessing of her ageless appearance, she is a sister who rides the wind and waves, but when the main room opened her mouth to ask "Sister how young is her youth", as soon as she opened her mouth here, "It's still young, the little slave family is Chinese New Year's Eve six today......" Thinking of this, Zhao Er's face couldn't hold the embarrassment.
In fact, if you say this to the princess, although the princess wants to persuade the eldest princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty to approach you with ulterior motives, most of them will understand his distress, but Zhao Er is still a little afraid of this wife, some men can run around in the waves on sunny days and beautiful waves outside, but they always maintain a sense of awe for the main room.
When he married her, she was still the queen's sister, although today her sister is no longer the queen, and he has also become the emperor's younger brother, but after that psychological position is set, it is difficult to reverse.
The more the prince turned this outer mansion into a house for cultivating meditation and immortals, the more curious the princess became, and she also sent people to deliver things and inquire about the news, and the servants or maids sent to it, without exception, were helping the prince lie.
As soon as the princess and the others came back, they pulled them over and asked:
Is it really a house for cultivating immortals?
Who is the Constellation Immortal offering?
Which way does the head of the bed go? What covering?
Several people talked completely differently, some said that they were for Zhang Tianshi, some said that they were for Bodhidharma Ancestor, and some said that they were for Duowen Heavenly King, and finally had to admit that they couldn't get in at all.
In the past, your sister was the queen, and everyone listened to you, but now the prince is the emperor's younger brother, and everyone has changed the direction of the wind and honestly listened to the prince, the princess here, I can't hear the truth.
Today, the princess made up her mind and found a person she thought was the most credible, Duan Meimei, the daughter of her godbrother Xu Yongzhi.
"Meimei, how do I treat you?" Fu asked.
Duan Meimei didn't pull it down when she thought of giving money as a gift when she got married, and when she went to Zhao's house to be a hostage before, she was also very careful.
"The princess is very good to me."
"Don't be a princess and princess, the old queen mother said, your own family is your own family, called the second sister-in-law." The princess said.
Duan Meimei secretly thought in her heart, the second brother may not recognize this brother.
"The second sister-in-law is very good to me." Duan Meimei said.
"Then I'll ask you about something, your second brother has a mansion near Kaifeng Mansion, do you know anything?" The princess asked.
That's the right question.
The princess had asked several people before, and even Zhang Dejun's daughter-in-law and Xu Yongzhi's sister-in-law Zhenzhen had been asked.
These women either don't go out of the door and don't step out, and they really don't know anything; Either they are like Zhenzhen and pretend to be confused, and they don't want to be involved at all. Everyone shook their heads like rattles, but they still had a meaningful smile.
called Duan Meimei over, just to hear the truth, no matter how much the princess does not interfere in politics, she also understands that the plastic brotherhood between King Jin and Xu Yongzhi is not reliable at all, but it is in Duan Meimei's mouth, and she may be able to hear the truth.
"Please redeem the concubine first...... she is innocent," Duan Meimei knelt down and saluted.
"Ahh The princess went to pick up some Meimei.
"I haven't been in that house." Duan Meimei said.
"Ah......" The princess was a little disappointed.
"But if you're asking what woman King Jin might be dealing with, I really know a lot." Duan Meimei said.
Fu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Tell me!"
"The woman he is dealing with is none other than our family's sworn enemy, Li Lianqiao, the eldest princess of Jiangnan Kingdom, who killed my in-laws and the whole town of Linquan Town, this evil woman!"
To uncover the scars, you have to be crisp enough.
Princess Fu sat back in her chair with a thud.
"Oh my God, how could the prince provoke such a woman......"
Without doing anything, Duan Meimei picked up the teacup, saw that the tea was warm and suitable, took a sip to moisten her throat, and told the princess half of the "Golden Kuimeng", telling Li Lianqiao about the various evil deeds of coercing Xu Jin, slaughtering Linquan Town, killing her parents, and mutilating her best friend.
"Eldest princess, eldest princess, if you want to marry in the future, there will be a main room to guard against you." Duan Meimei thought to herself.
"No, I'll have to go find him."
The princess got up and shouted outside, "Prepare the horses!" ”
The sedan chair didn't have time to sit.
Fu is the third daughter of the tiger girl of Jiangmen, the fourth daughter of Fu, a woman who can ride a horse and shoot arrows since she was a child, she is really anxious.
"Second sister-in-law, don't mind!" Duan Meimei hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
"Don't worry, I won't say what you said!" The princess thought that Duan Meimei was afraid of being involved.
"What kind of name are you going to have?" Duan Meimei asked.
"Take care of your husband." The princess looked dumbfounded.
"I'm done caring, the lonely king is very good, princess, please step down." Duan Meimei said imitating Zhao Er's tone.
"This ......"
"One sentence will make you retreat," Duan Meimei said, "Besides, even if you catch their bare butts, what can you do?" Don't say that he is a prince, even if an ordinary husband gets along with a widow, do you have any righteous name? ”
"This ......"
"That woman is not an ordinary woman, second sister-in-law," Duan Meimei whispered, "I told you, she is a witch, she doesn't use witchcraft to make trouble in Tokyo City, because we also have stronger wizards on our side, and she also hopes to gain power through the prince." ”
Fu Shi nodded, she was also concerned about it just now, and once she calmed down, she would accept Duan Meimei's suggestion.
"We can ...... like this"
"Uh-huh-hmm......"
Just when the Fu family invited Duan Meimei to discuss the affairs of the outer house, Zhao Guangyi also got off work from the yamen, rode a horse to the outer house, and the guards all stayed in the outer courtyard.
This is the way he and Li Lianqiao contacted, Chi and Xiang both have Li Forsythia's information, she will come over as soon as possible when she receives the message, of course not so quickly - before the girl goes out, she will dress up.
After a meal or so, the light of the portal appeared in the small courtyard, and Li Lianqiao slowly walked into the room.
Zhao Guangyi was taken aback.
Today's Li Lianqiao's eyes were sloppy, her mouth was pursed, and there was a ruthlessness on the corner of her mouth, she looked very, very unhappy, and had a deep resentment.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Er looked puzzled.
"He must be killed!" Li Lianqiao said hatefully.
