Chapter 100: The Indisputable Queen (15)
"Father!"
Yin Ningzhao's voice rose sharply.
Looking straight at the past, his eyes did not shy away, his lips moved a few times, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Erchen's knee hurts, probably because he ate something that he shouldn't eat, causing his bones to be soft, so I won't talk to you more." β
Let's talk.
She turned away.
The civil and military officials at the palace banquet didn't seem to have come back to their senses, but they had their own plans in their hearts.
Let the eldest princess go and kiss.
Maybe it can really ease the relationship between Shun Dynasty and Rouran, so it is much more cost-effective to send the princess than to send gold and silver, besides, the queen mother also understands righteousness, doesn't she?
A bunch of idiots!
Ling Huchi suppressed the anger in his heart.
If it weren't for his background, he would be ashamed to be in the company of this group of hypocrites, since ancient times, in addition to the Shun Dynasty, which dynasty has been broken by foreign races and weakened its knees?
One side of the water and soil to support the other side,
Now it seems.
This Shun Dynasty is really about to collapse the building, and it is whimsical to take the princess to exchange for peace.
Amusing.
Hold the salary to fight the fire, and the fire will not be extinguished if the salary is not exhausted.
This time to send the princess, next time to send the general, then next time, when the Rouran alien race enters the palace and cuts off their heads, I don't know what else this group of people can send?
Side hall.
"Lord Taifu, Her Royal Highness the Princess is resting inside, and the slave and maid will go in first to report." The voice of the palace maid blocking came from outside the door.
"Let him in."
Yin Ningzhao frowned and raised his voice.
The next second.
Ling Huchi walked briskly, his broken hair as black as ink was blown by the wind, and the whole person looked impatient and irritable, which was very different from his usual calm temperament.
didn't wait for Yin Ningzhao to be polite.
He sat on the other side of the couch familiarly, supporting the low table with one arm, with a solemn expression: "Do you know that you are going to be sent to kiss?" β
"Yes."
Compare it to.
Yin Ningzhao's attitude was indifferent, not like a princess who was about to be sent to kiss, but like an outsider.
"It's to be the wife of an old man in his sixties!"
Ling Huchi glared at her, so angry that he broke his voice.
The matter of harmony is not a joke, and Rouran is not a good place to live and work in peace and contentment, on the contrary, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, whether men or women, are barbaric and rude, and they are unusual.
Even.
There is even Lao Tzu who died, and the son marrying his stepmother violated the human customs, which is simply appalling!
Previous dynasties and relatives.
It's just that a woman of appropriate age is selected from the clan, accepted by the emperor as a righteous daughter, with the name of "princess", and then given some compensation to her mother's family, and easily sent out.
But Yin Ningzhao.
But it's really true, a veritable eldest princess.
Even if she fights a little bit in the court, she should be the pearl in the crown, not the princess, but in the good years, she marries Rouran far away, and serves a bad old man with a woman of different races.
"Master Taifu."
Yin Ningzhao made him a cup of tea.
The tone was always calm, and he reminded: "This place is not far from the main hall, and I also have palace maids to spread the word." β
After she left.
What happened at the palace banquet, and how her mother killed her relatives in righteousness, insisting that her biological daughter be reconciled, Yin Ningzhao, everything is clear.
"You!"
Linghu Chi was speechless.
He didn't understand, but he just cared about it, but his hot face was pasted on his cold buttocks, and the emperor was not in a hurry The eunuch was in a hurry, so he returned the teacup hatefully, and deliberately sarcastically said: "The princess should drink it herself, if you go to Rouran, you can only drink blood." β
"Huh."
Yin Ningzhao chuckled.
By bowing her head and tasting tea, she hid the complex emotions in her eyes, and made Fox Chi's anxiety come from sincerity, she could feel it.
But because of that.
Some words.
It was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't ask it anyway, for example: Is the child in the womb of the queen mother more than a month his own father or Linghu Chi's?
"You."
"You."
The two of them spoke in unison, and then stopped at the same time.
The gap of pause.
Ling Huchi had no intention of being humble, and then said: "Since you know everything, then what do you think about it, is it possible that you really plan to go to Rouran and kiss?" β
"Master Taifu, isn't this exactly what you want?"
She put down her teacup.
The bottom of the cup touched the wooden tabletop, and the sound of "click" was very light and small, but it seemed to have turned off some switch, and with Yin Ningzhao's suddenly cold expression, the atmosphere suddenly became opposed.
The two were not in the same camp in the first place.
Even not long ago, in order to demote Ling Huchi, she went to the imperial study to beg her father, but was stopped by her mother.
Case.
Why bother to act in front of her again.
Ling Huchi was stunned for a moment, and then he misunderstood what she meant, pointed to the sky, his tone was serious, and he said word by word: "I swear to Ling Huchi, before the queen mother speaks, I don't know at all about her decision to send you to Rouran and kiss, if I know, I will definitely stop it!" β
His eyes were clear and determined.
In a trance.
It seems that he is a free scholar who splashes ink and painting fans in the market, but when he enters the palace gate and the court, everyone can't help himself.
A cloth dress changed into court clothes.
Jiaolong enters the water.
It is impossible to stop without setting off a monstrous wave, this is not the time, and I think that I can stay in the past and have a heart-to-heart conversation, is this what kind of joke is this?
"Yin Ningzhao, my Royal Highness the Princess!"
Ling Huchi was very dissatisfied with her not actively thinking of a way, and she was still in this trance, and this sentence was almost said through gritted teeth.
After all that's said.
I looked back.
At this time, there were only two of them in the inner room of the side hall.
Thinking that Yin Ningzhao would not allow a third party to eavesdrop, he still leaned over, lowered his voice and said, "If you can't think of a way, I have a way that allows you not to kiss." β
"What?"
Yin Ningzhao was really interested.
She took the initiative to ask, but Ling Huchi did not answer neatly, and after a while, she returned to her usual style of not being slow or slow.
I looked at her seriously.
spoke: "If Rouran wins, the Shun Dynasty will fall to the country, the palace will fall, your father, mother, and younger brother will not exist, with my talent, it will not be difficult to return to Shunrou and then mix an official and a half-job." Would you likeβ"
"I don't want to."
Don't wait for him to finish.
Yin Ningzhao replied categorically, then looked him in the eyes, and then said: "The Shun Dynasty will not lose the country, and what you said will not happen." β
Deceive oneself as well as others.
Ling Huchi shook his head.
However, he did not fight-for-tat, but asked euphemistically: "If it happens, do you want to make a funeral sacrifice for such a rotten and flawed Shun dynasty?" β
"You are also familiar with history books, you should understand."
"When the time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free, the last generation of any dynasty, the fall is the trend of the times, and it is a fool's dream to turn things around with personal strength."
The mantis arm can't stop the car.
A glass of water won't put out a fire.
The literati are loyal to the king, in the final analysis, they are just one death, but is Yin Zheng worthy? If it weren't for the good reincarnation technique, it would be difficult to make a living, marry a wife and raise children if you had a slightly worse life experience.
But that's the kind of person.
He was the emperor of the Shun Dynasty.
holds the fate of countless people, even if he rushes to death with Shunchao, but all the people in the world still have to worship him and kneel to him, and countless courtiers still have to be loyal to him and assist him.
Foolish!
Ling Huchi was disdainful and unwilling.
But he knows how to give in, he knows how to hide, he can be sure that when the Shun Dynasty falls, countless people who are usually high above will die, but he will not.
"It's true that there is a general trend in the world."
Yin Ningzhao looked at him, and then said: "But there is also a saying, called going against the trend. β
That's it.
Both have already made their positions clear, and their positions could not be clearer.
Continue to talk about Rory, it has become an old lady's footcloth, smelly and long, everyone's position is determined by his thoughts, ideas are not formed overnight, if you want to change, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.
"Your Highness the Princess."
"The minister will do his best to help you postpone the date of peace, and in the meantime, if you change your mind, you can send someone to me at any time."
That's all that is said and done.
Linghuchi stood up.
He straightened the hem of his clothes, looked at her again, and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Yin Ningzhao looked down at the table.
opened his mouth and said: "Lord Taifu, you asked me just now, and now I ask you, at the end of every dynasty, there is no shortage of people with lofty ideals who save the world, and as a princess, I should be duty-bound." β
"Linghu Chi, are you willing to follow me?"
"I don't want to."
Ling Huchi's answer was exactly the same as she had just now, and she said lightly without looking back: "As for the reason, I have already explained it to the princess." β
Swimming against the current, the body is shattered.
Traveling thousands of miles down the river.
If the current Shun Dynasty is compared to a crumbling house, Yin Ningzhao is the one who tries to continue to support the house, and Ling Huchi is the one who pushes the house and accelerates the collapse of the house, so that he can benefit from it.
But.
Yin Ningzhao raised his head.
Looking at the back of Ling Huchi leaving, after the door of the palace was closed, he muttered, "Why do you want to save me?" β
Love and hate are not afraid.
Love-hate mixing is the most tangled.
Especially, when the father, the queen, and the civil and military officials all regarded her as a trade object and wanted to push Rouran to make peace, only Linghuchi was the only one who did not want her to go to make peace.
He is not afraid to bear the infamy of "going down the river".
But he seems to have forgotten that saving a princess who was pushed out to kiss is really against his principles, and it can be regarded as "going against the current".
"Cousin!"
Yin Cai walked out from behind the curtain.
A little worried, Ling Huchi, the fox spirit, will not charm the daughter of luck, if it is not as good as an accident this time, Yin Ningzhao is most likely the fate of the founding emperor.
It can't go wrong.
She handed over the book of the people she was holding, and said without a reminder: "Don't forget, more than a dozen officials led by Master Xu who asked for the people's lives were still framed and locked in prison by him." β
"I haven't forgotten."
Yin Ningzhao took the Book of All People.
Unfolded it and looked at it, and when he closed it again, he exhaled a long breath, his eyes became clear, and at the same time a trace of guilt flashed, and he said silently in his heart:
Linghu Pond.
Thank you for your kindness.
But I already have a way to crack the harmony relationship, and I want to use you as a stepping stone.
Late at night.
Inside the prison.
"Those people's fat and people's ointment have been scavenged, and at this time, it is just a chance to give them a chance to turn big things into small things and small things, so I am ready to wait two months later, on the day of the Golden Buddha, to uproot that group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials."
"Lord Xu, I have to grieve you for two more months."
"But don't worry, the jailer in the prison has been replaced by me, and during this time, your safety will not be in question."
Yin Ningzhao dressed up in men's clothes.
After saying these words, through the prison door, many officials led by Lord Xu bowed their hands to her deeply with gratitude on their faces, and praised: "Her Royal Highness the princess does not let her eyebrows, which is really my great luck to obey the court." β
Pity.
It's not a man's body.
Otherwise, after they are released from prison, they will concentrate on assisting Yin Ningzhao, and maybe they will be able to achieve a good story of monarchs and ministers, but it's a pity, it's a pity.
Yin Ningzhao didn't think about it that much.
After the return gift.
rushed back to the princess's mansion overnight.
ββ
Two months later.
It's winter.
A few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall, the road in the suburbs is steep, the snow is knee-deep, the ice edge hangs under the eaves, embellished with a bit of beauty, the weather is cold, and the most bitter is the people.
There was a great hunger and cold everywhere, and the state treasury was asked to allocate funds for grain.
Naturally, this will not work.
It was given to the people who were cold and hungry.
Where is the money left over to invite the Golden Buddha?
Therefore, Yin Zheng turned a blind eye to those twists and turns, and only asked wholeheartedly when the golden Buddha would be cast and when the master invited by Tianzhu would arrive.
It's almost time for the Chinese New Year.
On a sunny day, the Golden Buddha has been cast, Master Tianzhu has arrived, and everything is ready only to owe the east wind.
Yin Zheng waved his hand: Please Golden Buddha!
Altar of the capital.
Worship the ancestors and worship the heavens, the civil and military officials are happy, and the people who are watching around are also dressed neatly and neatly, and they are very cooperative with the cheers and applause, just like a picture of the prosperous scenery of the balance.
"Golden Buddha, please!"
Master Tianzhu shouted at the top of his voice.
Then, two dozen people pressed their shoulders against the board, on which was placed a huge golden Buddha, so bright that it almost dyed the snow that fell around it gold.
Wait a minute.
Light snow?
Yin Zheng frowned, Qin Tianjian was getting more and more loose in his work, and he calculated that today was a sunny day, but it turned out to be snowing, and looking at the snowflakes that were falling one after another.
There is also a trend of getting bigger and bigger.
He glanced at the cheering people, probably because they were too excited, they didn't feel cold, and they were full of energy.
That's great.
The prosperity of self-governance.
The Golden Buddha was finally lifted to the altar, with compassionate eyebrows and a huge size, as if looking down on all beings, and around the altar, there were also countless small golden Buddhas.
"Master, you can start chanting."
Ling Huchi clasped his hands together, said politely to the Tianzhu master, and then looked over.
Yin Zheng nodded slightly.
Expressing satisfaction with him.
"Ahem!"
Master Tianzhu cleared his throat, and then suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, shook his head sharply, and didn't know what to think in his mouth.
At this time.
"What are you going to do?"
The sound of a group of guards drawing their swords alarmed them, and even Master Tianzhu opened his eyes and turned his head to look at them.
In heavy snow.
"Zhao'er?"
Yin Zheng wiped the snowflakes that floated to his eyelashes, stared at the person who was leading the way, and opened his mouth in disbelief.
