Chapter 169: The Imperial Palace
On the one hand, he asked people to carry the Marquis of Zhennan out of the house, and on the other hand, he asked his subordinates to pull the carriage of the so-called Mrs. Shizi, and without waiting for Princess Changping to react, she went directly to the direction of the palace.
Princess Changping trembled with anger.
She looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, which had been smashed, and then looked at the carriage that was pulled away, thinking that things were not done today, but she would be slandered by Huo Yan, and she couldn't help but be angry!
"Stop!" Princess Changping didn't care about continuing to make trouble in Houfu, so the carriage quickly chased after her.
When he arrived at the palace, the Marquis of Zhennan, dressed in rags and covered with scars, knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty! The old minister knew that because of the death of the Changping horse, the princess had always been resentful of the old minister. But the emperor, as well as the adults, the horse died of illness on the way to Lingnan, and it has nothing to do with the Houfu. ”
The emperor was shocked when he saw this, "What's the matter?" Why ...... make such a mess? ”
Zhennanhou deliberately raised his hand and wiped a handful of blood on his face, making it miserable. Then he looked at the ministers, made a look of old tears, and choked up: "I think when I was young, I fought in the east and west, life and death, wealth and nobility, and I lived a life of licking blood from the knife for the court, and I didn't complain at all." But I didn't expect that when I was old and couldn't fight, I would be subjected to such inhuman humiliation......"
As she was talking, Princess Changping burst in angrily, pointed at him and scolded: "Zhennan Hou! You don't pretend! It's clear that you yourself sent someone to pretend to be my guard, make it look like you're injured, and slander me! ”
Zhennanhou turned his head to look at her, deliberately showing weakness, "Your Royal Highness Princess, my daughter-in-law is still in confinement, but she was pushed down by your guards, and now she is sick in bed." The gate of the palace was smashed open by your guards with pillars, and now it is still open and cannot be closed. And I ......, if you make this look, will the princess still have to work hard? The old minister begged Her Royal Highness the princess to take a step back. ”
The ministers inevitably whispered.
"What's going on? Zhennanhou was also made too miserable. ”
"Tut-......, don't say it."
Princess Changping jumped to her feet in anger and scolded: "Fake! You're less pretentious! I'm going to expose your hypocritical mask in front of everyone today! ”
The emperor was confused when he heard it on the throne, and frowned: "What the hell is going on?" Tell us what happened! ”
Zhennanhou pretended to wipe away his old tears, choked up and couldn't speak.
Huo Yan came out and said: "Back to the emperor, that's the case." He looked sad and indignant, gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen has the wife of the prince Su in Yongzhou, the wife of the Changfang in the capital, the Lin family, and several concubines in the family, and there are also children and daughters under his knees. Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the princess adopted a daughter, and at noon today, she was sent directly to Houfu to be the wife of the prince. ”
He deliberately avoided the Empress Dowager's decree and did not mention it.
First, it seems that Princess Changping is arrogant and domineering. Second, so as not to mention the Queen Mother, the emperor covered up this matter for the sake of the Queen Mother's face, but it was not beautiful.
Huo Yan's voice was heavy, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for not being able to stop his wife and marry another wife." ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire court was in an uproar.
That's right! This Huo Yan has two wives, and there are several concubines, how can he marry again? What's more, Mrs. Shizi is going to pass through the Zongren Mansion and ask for a seal from above, how can she say that she will be sealed? Isn't that a mess?
Princess Changping listened to the buzzing discussion, and jumped to her feet with anger, "No, it's not like this!" I have already asked people to go to Yongzhou to inquire, Huo Yan's original wife has been retired, and he has no Mrs. Shizi. ”
Huo Yan immediately grabbed her speech and asked loudly: "This is my family matter, why does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to inquire about it for no reason?" Moreover, he still traveled thousands of miles to Yongzhou to inquire. ”
That's right, isn't it a pain in the ass?
Everyone had this expression on their faces, and their expressions were complicated.
Princess Changping also opened her mouth and couldn't answer, seeing that everyone was despising her, she couldn't help but be anxious, pointed at Huo Yan and said, "You don't give me any nonsense!" Anyway, you just don't have a wife! ”
Huo Yan said with a straight face: "I think Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood." My wife, Su Shi, has never given birth, so she is willing to be a layman, and pray for the heirs of the Huo family at home every day. This is not ......, because she is sincere, so the Lin family gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for me, so that the Huo family has a queen. ”
Princess Changping looked at his serious nonsense, and couldn't help choking with anger, "Because the Su family is sincere?" That's why the Lin family has a son? Haha, it's ridiculous! ”
Huo Yan said: "Because the Su family is virtuous and virtuous, although she has no heirs, I also plan to give her a pension and send her to the end of her life." Not to mention, she also prayed for bringing a man to the Huo family, and she should thank her. Such a good wife, how could I be willing to divorce her? If the princess doesn't believe it, she can go to the Yongzhou government to check, and the marriage certificate between me and the Su family is still there. ”
Princess Changping was even more speechless, "You, you ......"
Huo Yan turned around and knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, you see, this is all a misunderstanding. Princess Changping thought that the minister's wife was divorced, so she wanted to be a matchmaker. Actually, Weichen's wife is fine, so she really can't marry another, and she has to persuade the emperor and the princess more. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy.
My sister is too messy!
Regardless of whether Huo Yan's wife is divorced or not, whether people marry or not, it will not be her turn to force people. This is not the end, but it is still making trouble in Nanhou Mansion? Even if Zhennan Hou's injuries were caused by himself, the door of the Hou Mansion was always opened by his sister, right? It's just a mess for yourself.
Princess Changping trembled with anger, "No! You have already taken a break from Su Xinwan, you have already taken a break! ”
Huo Yan answered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I know that your righteous daughter is a good girl, but I really can't marry her." After all, the Su family and the Lin family are already my wives. ”
Princess Changping said angrily: "You are lying! ”
Huo Yan said coldly, "When marriage is a major event, parents are in charge. Whether I divorce my wife, and whether I should remarry, I advise you to listen to my father's opinion. Turning his head to look at Zhennanhou, "Dad, ...... look, do I need to divorce Su Xinwan and marry a princess again?" ”
Zhennan Hou Zhengse said: "You don't have to. ”
The father and son sang and harmonized, and the meaning was very clear, the Huo family's wedding and funeral had nothing to do with others! Even if Princess Changping has a more noble status, there is no reason to marry and marry.
All the ministers present also thought the same way.
Princess Changping had to say again, "Huo Yan! You have already taken a leave of absence, Su Xinwan......"
"Enough!" The emperor broke off and reprimanded angrily: "Has Huo Yan divorced his wife?" If you want to marry Mrs. Shizi again, what does it have to do with you? Changping, don't mess around here! Hurry up, pay compensation to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan. ”
Princess Changping choked with anger, "Let me compensate them, won't you?" ”
"That's it." Zhennan Hou waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's just a little misunderstanding, and the Hou Mansion doesn't want to pursue it." Please forgive the old minister for being old and injured again, so he first went back to see a doctor and recuperate. ”
Huo Yan knelt down, "Please also ask the emperor to reward him with a favor." ”
What can the emperor say? My sister made Zhennanhou so embarrassed, didn't she let Zhennanhou go back to rest? Besides, if they don't leave, won't they have to listen to their sister continue to quarrel? So he immediately said: "Aiqing, you should step back first." ”
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Zhennanhou and Huo Yan kowtowed together and withdrew.
"Stop!" Princess Changping shouted.
"Someone!" The emperor really couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Take Her Royal Highness the princess down and send it to the Queen Mother's palace!" At the same time, he waved off the ministers, "They are all scattered." ”
Princess Tongchang was forcibly pulled out of the palace by the palace people.
The emperor followed him to the palace of the Queen Mother, and when he saw the Queen Mother, he said angrily: "Queen Mother, my sister is really getting more and more nonsense!" How can you make your own decisions and forcibly give Huo Yansai what kind of prince's wife? It's not like that. ”
The Queen Mother's face was not very good-looking, and she said unhappily: "This is the decree of the mourning family." ”
The emperor was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "Queen Mother, then Huo Yan himself has the Su family, the wife of the prince, and the Lin family of the capital and the long house, how can he stuff another wife of the prince?" It's not ......" turned his head and scolded Princess Changping, "It's all your fault!" It must be that you didn't make it clear to the queen mother, so that the queen mother made a decree. ”
I can't help but say that I put all the blame on my sister.
Princess Changping said angrily: "Huo Yan's wife in Yongzhou has already retired!" ”
"So what?" The emperor didn't want to listen to the queen mother's interruption, so he scolded his sister and covered his face, "No matter whether the Su family is suspended or not, what does it have to do with you?" Even if Huo Yan doesn't have the wife of the prince, it won't be your turn to arrange a marriage for him! Besides, you said that Huo Yan took a leave of absence from the Su family, what about the evidence? Did the Su family go back to Su's house? Or has the government already stated that he has been suspended? It's just a non-existent thing! ”
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother was a little surprised, "What's the matter?" Su has not been divorced yet? Still in the Huo family? ”
Although the emperor still doesn't know the specific situation, thinking about the character of the Marquis of Zhennan, it must be foolproof. Even if the Su family has been suspended, the government will definitely not be suspended now, and the people will be in the Huo family in Yongzhou. In order to interrupt the Queen Mother's untimely thoughts, she immediately affirmed: "Zhennan Hou and Huo Yan have already said that the Su family has not been suspended, and now the person is still in the Zhennan Hou Mansion, but he has temporarily become a household scholar." ”
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Princess Changping and complained, "You, why don't you inquire clearly?" If Huo Yan still has a wife of the prince, and the mourning family gives him another wife of the prince, wouldn't it be a joke? ”
Princess Changping opened her mouth and said, "I ......"
The emperor didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and scolded: "What are you? You see a good job! The queen mother's face has been lost to you. He turned his head and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you don't know how nonsense Changping is." She coaxed you to make an order, but when people didn't open the door, she let people hit the door with a wooden pillar, and Zhennanhou was injured......"
