Chapter Ninety-Three: The Qin Clan
In the palace of Ziwei Pavilion, a piece of snow-white vegetarian was hung.
But unlike usual, this piece of Susu is lonely, except for two or three palace people who add incense and candles, the palace is extremely quiet, as if this is a ruined garden.
"Pass the order, this matter is not allowed to be publicized."
"Who dares to go out and chew the root of the tongue and affect the disaster relief of the previous dynasty, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
There is Emperor Yin's message.
Therefore, inside and outside the palace, the news was tightly blocked, and no one dared to leak the slightest rumor.
Even Concubine Feng's Zi Palace was only in the Ziwei Pavilion for a few days.
After the burial.
Inside Showa Palace.
Concubine Yi sat in front of the couch, picked up the impatiens gardenia powder with a small silver spoon, and carefully smeared it on her nails. After she finished smearing one, Le Yue took out the gold paper from the small box and wrapped it tightly for her.
"Concubine Feng died in such a difficult birth?"
"How can this be fake? The little prince in the womb was not saved, and I heard that the day of production was miserable, and when the emperor arrived, everyone was almost out of breath. ”
Le Yue wanted to say something more, but she just sighed faintly.
Concubine Yi looked at her lightly.
"Do you think she deserved to die? As the saying goes, you can't live if you do your own sin, no matter how much she is, she shouldn't ......"
At this, she was suddenly silent.
Thinking of that dark secret, he was just speculating, so he immediately changed the subject:
"Where's the shadow? The old master went, and she didn't send it away? ”
Le Yue shook her head and pursed her lips, her eyes very disdainful.
"She's smart, seeing that the other side is down, and the service here is more attentive, look at this early morning, her legs are only afraid of running away!"
"You little vinegar!"
The man on the couch sneered, stretched out his finger, and dotted her forehead.
But in the blink of an eye, Concubine Yi straightened her face.
"I have always been lenient with others, but I can't keep this thing outside the grill!"
She squinted her eyes slightly, and said lightly:
"Remember, didn't I tell you before, the word 'Feng' sounds familiar? Afterward...... I finally remembered...... When I was at home that day, I heard my mother mention it inadvertently. ”
Thinking of this, Concubine Yi's voice was faint.
Le Yue also stopped what he was doing.
"Feng Tingxun, I valued Mr. Zheng's eldest son, and wanted to marry Mr. Zheng and marry his daughter-in-law, but helplessly, the eldest son didn't like her, so he refused."
The people around him suddenly raised their heads.
"Then this woman is ......"
Concubine Yi nodded.
"That's right, it's Concubine Feng who has passed away now!"
"I remember that when I was at home when I was a child, my father and Uncle Zheng had a very good relationship, and it was common for them to visit each other, and the courtyard of the eldest prince Zheng was also full of crape myrtle flowers......
Mingyue's hand suddenly stopped.
A hint of surprise and horror flowed in her eyes.
"Then the emperor ...... Did you spot them? ”
"No ......"
The person on the couch opened his eyes, and a pair of bright eyes began to turn faintly.
"That was many years ago, and even if there were, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. It's just that Hongu is thinking...... The Feng family is a big family, and the official residence was the second grade at that time, so can this shame of being divorced be ...... So easy to let go? ”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed.
"I'm going to find out about this matter!"
She opened her hand and looked at the ten pieces of gold paper in her hand, and a ray of light shone through the window, and the gold paper flickered faintly.
Leyue hadn't fully reacted yet.
But what the master said had already made her break out in a cold sweat.
Inside the Huayang Palace.
In the court, the officials were deliberating.
The palace specially vacated two warm pavilions, for dealing with political affairs, often brightly lit, Emperor Yin personally sat in the town, and the ministers ate and lived together, all urgent decrees, mostly face-to-face decision-making.
Dead.
Walking under the corridor outside the door, you can still hear inside, the music is turning on the ground, occasionally mixed with subtle human voices.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this strategy?"
Emperor Yin took a sip of tea and lowered his head.
"It's good, I'm just ...... I'm afraid of causing turmoil among these rich businessmen......"
Mu Tianzhang arched his hand and said:
"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, these businessmen and fishermen on weekdays, the money is quite sufficient, if at this critical moment, the imperial court gives them praise, presumably there will be many people who voluntarily donate."
The man on the dragon seat stared downward.
"Then according to Aiqing's method, what should I do?"
"Back to the emperor's words, since ancient times, agriculture and commerce have been suppressed, and businessmen have a lot of money, but their careers are embarrassing, why not let the officials draw up the idle official positions in the court, and give rewards according to their performance, what does the emperor want?"
Emperor Yin pondered for a long time.
"That's a good idea."
"It's just...... I'm only afraid that once I do this, the urgent need will be solved, and if the government and business collude in the future......"
"No problem."
"Your Majesty, do you think, small donations, small awards, big donations, how many people can really be crowned officials? When the time comes, if they really have a different heart, they will ......"
He made a gesture of his hand up and down.
Emperor Yin was stunned.
"I hope the emperor will think twice!"
There was silence in the hall.
Occasionally, you can hear the sound of paper flipping through next door.
In the bright eyes of the superiors, a little spark gradually emerged. Suddenly, he raised his head, and the long sleeves of his purple robe waved!
"That's ...... According to Aiqing! ”
"Yes, the emperor is wise!"
In the palace of the four kings of Yin.
Madame Qin was sitting in front of the bed, serving the princess's decoction with her own hands.
From the white jade cup, she scooped out a spoonful of medicinal juice, blew it, and carefully handed it to the mouth of the person on the couch.
"Sister, you take another sip."
The man on the couch shook his head.
"These things, just let the next person do it, Jing'er has grown up, and your identity is precious."
Mrs. Qin smiled faintly.
"What identity is not identity, I have seen it very lightly, sister, you know, from then on, I didn't care anymore!"
"Lotus ...... Here you go again! ”
Looking at the person in front of her, the princess's face suddenly sank.
"You still have Jing'er, although your mother's family is a businessman, but it is also a real family, even if you don't cherish your own children, you have to take care of them!"
Speaking of this, the faint eyes darkened.
When she spoke again, the princess's tone suddenly became fierce.
"Do you ...... Do you want them to die with you?! ”
"Bang!"
The potion fell to the ground, and the brown juice splashed on the ground.
Madam Qin's expression was uneasy, her lips turned pale, and she couldn't stop shaking and trembling.
"No...... I didn't mean that......"
"That'll be fine."
The princess sat up, stretched out a pair of withered hands, and held her tightly, "Youning, promise me, just let it pass!" People are dead, and what is the fun of having these meaningless resentments? ”
Two tears rolled down the eyes of the person in front of the bed.
While he was talking, a servant girl came in with a curtain open.
The man on the couch hurriedly turned his back, pulled out the bronzin with his wedge, and wiped away his tears.
"Madam, a letter from Jiangnan."
She was stunned, then took the letter, and glanced at the princess.
Seeing this, the princess lowered her eyelids and waved her hand lightly.
"I'm also very tired and want to rest, you can go back first."
Madame Qin stood up and saluted.
"Yes, Shu'er is leaving."
When she returned to Ziyang Pavilion, she took out the letter from her sleeve, opened it, and read it carefully.
This time, Emperor Yin ordered the merchants to pay for disaster relief.
As a wealthy merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qin family and the Nangong family should be the first to bear the burden, and they are naturally the targets of naming. And this letter from the head of the Qin family is to ask his daughter to dredge up and intercede, so that they can lose less.
When she finished reading, she pressed down the letter and frowned slightly.
"Father is confused!"
"Father is confused...... The father was confused...... "The parrot next to me is learning to quack."
"Go, find the son, and say that I have something important."
The handmaid answered and left.
