Chapter 124: Qi Hou Mansion
Xiao Huaijin remembered the words of Wanxiang in his heart, and was dragged by others to be loyal. Even against the wind, Xiao Huaijin privately followed a few brothers and the relatives of the Qi family to exonerate Qi Wei in front of the emperor.
On the surface, he exculpatory, but in fact, he elevated the Qi clan with the intention of angering the emperor. Several old ministers followed suit, emphasizing the prestige of the Qi clan in the court.
As soon as Xiao Huaijin handed out the words, those people rushed one by one, poking the little emperor's heart one by one.
Especially Xiao Huaiyue's sentence: "The first emperor died and the emperor ascended the throne, and he was awarded the three divisions of Qi Hou Kaifu Yitong, and there were 8,000 food and 800 soldiers." The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs all have relatives waiting for them.
The Khan of the Su tribe is a strong person and ignores it on the surface, but if he really kills the princess of the Su tribe, I am afraid that the word 'surrender' can no longer be discussed.
When the time comes, the North Cypriot tribes will march into the rioted frontier and march into the Central Plains, with internal constraints and strong enemies outside. And the queen mother is sick, if you hear about it......"
As soon as the words fell, the inkstone in front of the emperor smashed on his shoulder, directly knocking people over. The jade inkstone on that side smashed the floor of the Zichen Hall out of the pit.
It is conceivable how much pain that person's shoulder must have, but fortunately, it was not Xiao Huaijin who smashed it. The people in the Zichen Hall all knelt on the ground: "The emperor is angry." ”
The emperor looked at the uncle wrapped under his feet, and unconsciously remembered the heartfelt words of the palace banquet that day, and the entire Qi clan was like a thorn stuck in his throat.
I heard the little emperor above his head say: "According to what the Seventh Emperor Uncle said, I, the emperor, is also useless, and I can't even kill two sinners."
I can see right and wrong clearly, Jiayang has also pleaded guilty, if he doesn't kill Qi Wei, where is the emperor's authority? Where is the face of the entire royal family?
Pi Zheng Gang Ji, how to become Qingming? Passing on my will, Qi Wei was beheaded three days after the harem, and Qi Hou's godson had no way to seize his fiefdom and remove all his official positions. Finally, he added: "Shuren Jiayang, give poisoned wine." ”
After speaking, the emperor got up and left, no longer allowing anyone to speak.
Xiao Huaijin, who was kneeling on the ground, was expressionless, but there was a smile hidden in his eyes. What you want is the anger of the dragon, and what you want is to turn against the climate: "The emperor is wise." ”
As soon as the news spread to Chengxi Palace, the Empress Dowager fell ill.
When the little emperor wantonly uprooted the Qi clan's henchmen, Xiao Huaijin quietly took the opportunity to replace the palace guards with his own.
On the day Qi Wei was beheaded, Xiao Huaijin also took the incense to Qi Houfu for a walk.
Wanxiang lifted the curtain, and didn't even see the dismount flag: "Qi Houfu...... It's as if nothing has happened. ”
Xiao Huaijin replied: "The emperor's decree does not allow Qi Houfu to mourn." ”
"The Qi clan's heart is going to be cold. It's a pity that the Queen Mother is sick and no one sees her. ”
Xiao Huaijin held her hand and sneered: "Do you really think she will be seriously ill?" It's just a Qi Wei, even if it hits her, it's only temporary.
Living in the harem, every day is like walking on thin ice, can she live until now, what wind and waves have she not seen?
At present, the declining trend of the Tang Dynasty is just for the little emperor to see. ”
Speaking of which, the car just stopped, Xiao Huaijin helped Wanxiang get out of the car.
A pair of people standing at the door of Qi Hou Mansion are wearing ink-colored clothes, with silver threads on their cuffs, embroidered with a pair of cranes soaring in the clouds. From a distance, it's not right.
The porter went in to report, and Qi Hou came out to greet him in person.
Nowadays, everyone in Qi Hou Mansion avoids it, but Xiao Huaijin brought the princess to visit on the cusp of the storm, and Qi Hou, who was dressed in plain clothes, naturally had indescribable gratitude.
Xiao Huaijin sat in the front hall, not knowing what to say to Qi Hou, so Wanxiang was taken to the backyard to visit Aunt Lin, who was sick.
At this moment, there is no need for Xiao Huaijin to visit Qi Houfu, but Wanxiang has always remembered the kind old woman in her heart.
The maid came over with a medicine bowl, and Wanxiang reached out to take the medicine bowl and planned to serve Aunt Lin personally to drink the medicine.
"Princess, no." Aunt Lin said this in a hurry, and she couldn't stop coughing twice.
In Wanxiang's eyes, she was just a poor mother, so she smiled sincerely: "Auntie, but I also heard the rumors, so I think my hands are dirty?" ”
"Where?" Aunt Lin sat up and held Wanxiang's hand: "The princess used to be a dancing girl, what about me?" used to be a singer who floated for half her life, and I understood the pain during the period. Just a little bit of luck is luckier than me. ”
"Which point?"
Aunt Lin patted Wanxiang's hand: "I know that many women admire your father-in-law. Some people are valued by the emperor because he is a prince, and some people worship him as a hero and a leader in the world.
During this period, there was no shortage of ladies, and after Wang Sun, there were many people who knew how to sing and dance, but he never looked at it. Only you can make him smile kindly without saying a word. And desperate to marry you.
Your husband is far more worthy than my lord. Children are easy to get priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. ”
Wanxiang held the medicine bowl in one hand, and was gently patted by Aunt Lin with the other, and it was not difficult to feel the desolation in her words.
"It's easy to get priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover...... My mother said that. ”
Aunt Lin's sincere appearance was engraved in Wanxiang's mind, and she seemed to really regard herself as a good person. As everyone knows, Qi Wei's affairs are arranged by himself, and what he wants is to move to the Qi family.
Wanxiang has always been ruthless and decisive, and she has never regretted doing things, but this time she muttered in her heart.
Thinking of this, Wanxiang couldn't help but withdraw her hand: "Auntie, let's drink the medicine quickly." ”
As soon as she wanted to hand the medicine to Aunt Lin, a sour and harsh voice came from outside the door: "I heard that King Pingnan is here with the princess, did you come to Qi Hou Mansion to see the joke?" It's really a wall that everyone pushes. ”
When she turned around, she saw an emaciated face, and the man was so thin and alive like a praying mantis crouching in the grass. This unprovoked appearance should be Mrs. Qi Hou.
She picked up the corner of her plain white skirt and walked into the door, and unceremoniously knocked over the medicine bowl in Wanxiang's hand: "The dignified Princess Pingnan, she actually gave medicine to a singing song, which is really ridiculous......
Ah, I almost forgot, Princess Pingnan's background is not inferior. ”
As he spoke, he hugged his arms and asked Aunt Lin who was lying on the bed: "How can people be wives and princesses, why can't you?"
Aren't you also very good at obsessing and crying? Or is your way not at home? I'm asking the princess here. ”
"You ......"
"What am I? I lie on the bed and pretend to be sick at every turn, so that outsiders can see me, and I think what happened to me. ”
Wanxiang stood up and avoided the bed and smiled, the white smiling face was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and slowly spoke: "It's not your own son who died." ”
Mrs. Qi Hou stood opposite Wanxiang, as if she didn't believe that a junior would dare to say such a thing to herself.
"I heard that my wife has never given birth, so I naturally don't know the hardships of pregnancy in October and the mood of motherhood. The pain of losing a child is even more unknown.
This son is dead, so it's good to grab one from someone else. Mrs. has no children under her knees and will never give up, which is really a good story.
You can casually take other people's children as your own, and the kung fu of obsessive crying should not be shallow, right? If it weren't for the three generations of family heirlooms and grandchildren studying the mysteries, I am afraid that they would not be able to grind this skill. ”
Aunt Lin saw that the momentum was not good, and her eyes motioned to the maid on the side, and the maid immediately quietly ran out to find Qi Hou. Aunt Lin has never been willing to provoke such characters, so she grabbed Wanxiang's hand and motioned for her to stop arguing.
Wanxiang is not a stubble, patted Aunt Lin's hand to reassure her, and stood in front of Aunt Lin and continued to ask: "Madam said, yes or no?" ”
Mrs. Qi Hou was choked by Wanxiang, and finally said to Aunt Lin: "Did I say it, I have found a good backer for my waist pole to be so hard recently?" ”
"Today, the son of the world is newly mourned, and there is no sadness on the face of the lady, and she only cares about finding trouble here to find pleasure, is it a little out of place?
I came from a humble background and had never seen such a mother-in-law. Now it's really an eye-opener. ”
This will Qi Hou just took Xiao Huaijin to look for Wanxiang, and before he entered the door, he heard the two arguing.
Wanxiang saw the figure at the door first, and stopped talking.
As soon as he followed Qi Hou into the door, Xiao Huaijin pulled Qian Xiang behind him, blocked Wan Xiang as a person, and faced Mrs. Qi by himself: "Visiting Qi Hou today, the hospitality of the heroine of your mansion is really a great insight for this king." ”
