The old marquis suddenly felt his throat dry, "Your Majesty, old minister...... "Emperor Longqing was not in a hurry, and pointed to the dishes on the table with a smile and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, I am also hungry at this time." ”

Where can the old marquis eat, I don't know the taste of a meal.

Halfway through eating, Emperor Longqing suddenly asked again, "I heard that you brought Zhou De's family into the palace?" ”

The old marquis put down his chopsticks, got up and said, "Yes, the old minister brought someone over." ”

Emperor Longqing glanced at Zhao Chengzhi on the side, Zhao Chengzhi immediately understood, went out to call a few people, and took the people away.

"This person, you can't be satisfied with the old man, they all say that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but if this old man doesn't accumulate blessings for his children and grandchildren, you can tell me where the blessings of the children and grandchildren come from, right?" Emperor Longqing pursed his lips and smiled, as if the words he said were ordinary chatter.

Only the old marquis knew in his heart that Emperor Longqing was threatening him with the entire Anding Marquis Mansion.

He still can't help it, Xiaoliu is dead, and although other people in the family can also lead soldiers, none of them can compare to him.

None of the other sons will be as simple as Xiaoliu, I am afraid that they have already been selfish.

What can I do, the old marquis suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

"Hey, by the way, your little five has been in the southwest for five years." Emperor Longqing touched his beard and thought for a while, and said, "There is still a lack of a scholar in the ministry, so call Xiao Wu back." ”

The old marquis got up and gave a big salute to Emperor Longqing, and then said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Wu is coming back, so the boss has to be suppressed, there can't be two voices in a family, just like the court can only do one thing.

It's good, it's good.

Xiao Wu is a careful person, in fact, if you talk about the patriarch, it is more suitable than the boss.

It's just that he always thought that the boss was the eldest son after all, so he sent the rest of the people out of Beijing.

But now...... That's it.

The next day, news came out from the Anding Marquis Mansion that the old marquis was sick.

The imperial doctor also went back and forth in the Hou Mansion, and at first he said that the illness was not serious, just take some medicine, but half a month later, the old Hou Ye's illness still did not improve.

The poison in the prince in the palace has been resolved, so Emperor Longqing is in a good mood, and when he was practicing calligraphy, Queen Wang came in from outside, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Longqing raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Gardenia is here, sit down." ”

The queen wanted to say something, but the emperor was practicing calligraphy, and she also knew that if she said anything at this time, she was afraid that she would dislike the emperor.

Therefore, she put down the anxiety in her heart, walked to Emperor Longqing's side, picked up the ink ingot on the side, and slowly grinded it.

Until Emperor Longqing dropped the last word.

"Your Majesty."

"Say it." Emperor Longqing is still very patient with Queen Wang, after all, the five children in the palace are all from Queen Wang's belly, even for the sake of children, he is willing to give Queen Wang some face.

"The concubine wants to go back to see her father, she has been sick for more than half a month, why is it still not well." The queen put down the ink ingot in her hand as she spoke.

Emperor Longqing thought for a while and said, "Well, it's okay to go back and have a look, go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and ask, and then bring the two Imperial Doctors back together." ”

When the queen received his letter, her heart rejoiced.

Emperor Longqing waited for the queen to leave, and secretly scolded the old fox, this is not a rabbit and an eagle.

"Zhao Chengzhi!"

"The minions are here!"

"Go, spread my will, summon Wang Xiao of the Marquis of Anding Mansion back to Beijing, and serve as the secretary of the ministry."

The will of Empress Wang and Emperor Longqing is to go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion before and after.

At that time, Queen Wang was sitting in front of the old marquis's hospital bed, looking at the unseemly person who had lost weight on the bed with a sad face.

"Father, why are you so sick that you don't tell your daughter." Queen Wang said with a sad face.

"By the way, my daughter brought two imperial doctors from the palace and asked the imperial doctors to show you."

As he spoke, he let the two imperial doctors behind him in.

The imperial physician is the imperial physician in the palace, and the words that come out of his mouth must be controlled.

Therefore, it is still the same as before.

Queen Wang was about to get angry and a small servant came in at the door, "Queen Mother, old lady, someone is in the palace." ”

After all, the old marquis was 'seriously ill', so Emperor Longqing granted him permission not to kneel down to listen to orders.

After cleaning up, Zhao Chengzhi began to announce the decree, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xuanwang Xiao entered Beijing, and he was appointed as the secretary of the ministry." ”

After reading it, he smiled and put the holy decree in the hand of the old marquis, "Old marquis, the emperor asked the servant to bring you a message, you must take good care of your body, your fifth master is coming back." ”

Empress Wang didn't know what this meant, but Emperor Longqing cared about her father's body, and said, "Father, Your Majesty is right, you have to take care of your health." ”

The old marquis understood in his heart that this was Emperor Longqing's warning to himself, warning himself that it was time.

After sending off the queen Wang, the old marquis lay on the bed and was dying.

Wang Rong came in from outside, "Father, the fifth child is coming back!" ”

The old marquis didn't look at him, still lying on the bed motionless.

Wang Rong was furious in his heart, what does this mean, the fifth child is back, and as soon as he comes back, he is the secretary of the ministry, so what is himself!

I have been in the capital all these years, and I have been running the family conscientiously, so in the end, I will let the fifth child come back to pick peaches?

When the fifth child comes back, who can still remember himself as a foreigner.

"Father!"

Only then did the old marquis glance back at him, "I know all about that Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing." ”

Wang Rong suddenly panicked, "Father, what are you talking about, my son really doesn't know how Zhou De's family got to Zhuangzi. ”

The old marquis paused and said, "If you don't know, you don't know, you can keep that Zhuangzi." ”

Wang Rong was worried in his heart, and he no longer had the angry appearance just now.

In the evening, the old marquis handed a letter of folding, asking for the title of the prince of the marquis's mansion.

Wang Xiao, the prince of the Hou Mansion.

Emperor Longqing agreed, and on the day the holy decree came down, the old marquis left.

Empress Wang sat in Yikun Palace, looking at Emperor Longqing blankly.

"In my memory, my father was always very serious, when I was a child, I made my father angry, and I was inevitably beaten, and then my father couldn't beat me, but I was still willing to be beaten by my father......"

Emperor Longqing didn't speak, but just sat down beside Queen Wang, took her hand, and said, "There is still me, you still have me, and we have children, cheer up." ”

The queen lowered her head and looked at the hands that were clasped together, it was this man, it was he who took her father's life.

Emperor Longqing thought she didn't know, but how could she not know.

One is his own father, and the other is his own husband, the father of his own children.

Queen Wang only felt a sharp pain in her heart, "Your Majesty, the concubines are sad in their hearts." ”
