Chapter 159: Degraded
The purse contained the right to sell 30% of the coal mine and the shares of Yongzhou Yicheng's coal mine, which was originally prepared for the Su Mansion and given to the Marquis of Dingyuan, which could be used to curry favor with the old man.
Yongzhou Yicheng's coal mine is far from being comparable to Kyoto Yicheng, last night he went to find Su Xiangxing, and made his eldest brother happy, he can be regarded as having the face to meet the second elder of the Su family, this affection is more important than anything else.
There are still many discussions in the court, but the topic has shifted from the coal mine to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to resist the decree and disobey it, the reason is very sufficient, no matter what the reason, the queen mother is always the queen mother, and the disobedience is to disobey the queen mother's prestige.
Of course, it was the party of the Xiangwang that raised this matter, the power of the Queen Mother, many ministers bowed their noses, remained neutral, did not participate in the speech, and they also learned a little about the resistance of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and they also knew a little about it, Gonggong An was present at the time, right and wrong, the emperor could not count in his heart, since the king of Xiang and Wei Guogong secretly raised private soldiers, the emperor was wary of them, knowing that there was a case, he still didn't know how to protect himself, stupid!
Dingyuan Marquis is also quite unhappy, how to say that Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is also the in-laws of Xiangwangfu, the child in Zhishu's belly may be the only grandson of Xiangwangfu, and he is so embarrassed with Houfu, Dingyuan Hou's temperament has never been small, and immediately looked at Xiangwang, "Zhishu has been married into Xiangwangfu for a few days, my Houfu's daughter is pure and good, how can people be allowed to play in the applause, since Zhiyu and the four princes' family affairs are constantly twists and turns, it shows that the two are fated, why force it, this Hou is willing to become the lord of Ruxiang and the four princes, this family affair is stopped." ”
After the Marquis of Dingyuan finished speaking, Lord Yushi stood up and said, "I heard that when Princess Ronghua came to the door in advance that day, Prince Xiang and King Yuejun were present, and the rights and wrongs were both present, and the two of them were asked to testify before they could clearly find out, if Princess Ronghua really went back on her word, she would lose the princess's prestige." The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion did not comply with the decree, which is reasonable. ”
The topic has shifted here, yesterday the king of Yue County returned to the door with the princess of the county, according to what I said before, isn't it the morning dynasty today. Why didn't you come again?
The king of Yuejun went to the early dynasty, the prince said, the emperor also said, what the emperor said, that is the holy decree, the king of Yuejun has no gold medal to avoid death, then according to the law of Dayue, it is to play the top ten boards, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, a group of ministers with hatred and grudges hurriedly came out. Emperor Wenyuan and King Zhennan frowned when they heard this, why didn't Yue'er come to the court?
Gonggong Xu remembered Ye Guiyue's words yesterday, and hurriedly said to Emperor Wenyuan, "Your Majesty, the prince of Erjun entered the palace yesterday. Didn't I tell the emperor that he would be very busy in the next month, and he would go to court flawlessly. ”
Lord Rong also stood up and said, "Yesterday, the dog talked to the minister, it seems that the prince of the county is going to leave Beijing for a period of time, and the training of three thousand soldiers has been entrusted to the dog, Yuan Hao. ”
King Zhennan's face changed slightly. Emperor Wen Yuan simply became furious, "Let him do something, either shirk or leave Beijing!" ”
The emperor was angry, it was not a trivial matter, as soon as he raised his hand, a certain second-grade county king was demoted to a third-grade county king.
The outskirts of Kyoto. On a huge training ground, the cries were ho-ho, and the sound of training was deafening.
In front of the team, Ye Guiyue and Chu Pei, Yuan Hao, and Rong Jingxuan stood with their hands in hand, except for Ye Guiyue, who was wearing a sky blue brocade robe. Chu Pei and the three of them were all dressed in general armor and sweating profusely.
Yuan Hao pulled a fine iron armor and said with some grievances, "Wearing such armor for training on a hot day, Brother Yue, are you sure you don't want our lives?" ”
Leng Feng stood aside, turned his head and glanced at Yuan Hao, "Don't get in the way, the princess of the county specially asked people to prepare a summer medicine, and the three generals will have to give a demonstration to these soldiers in person later." ”
Yuan Hao and the three of them looked at each other, what is there to demonstrate?
When the three of them were taken to the training ground, looking at the training platform made of wood and stone pillars, Yuan Hao snorted, "Wouldn't it just let us train this?" Isn't that too easy? ”
Leng Feng glanced at Yuan Hao sympathetically, and he would know how terrible this simple thing was later.
The three of them were eager to take off their armor, and the cold wind said in the wind, "I want the three generals to train in armor." ”
Chu Pei almost collapsed, pointing to the sandbags and thin plum blossom piles that were swaying back and forth not far away, "The fine iron armor weighs almost a hundred catties on the body, and I am already exhausted from training all the way there, how can I still avoid the sandbag, even if I dodge, the weight of my body, how can I get through the plum blossom pile?" ”
Ye Guiyue looked back at the three of them, both of them were bitter gourd colored, today is the time for them to stand up, if they fall off it, where will their faces go?
It's better to be a brother in Yue, his prestige shocked the government and the opposition, and the whole country knew it, these soldiers looked at him with admiration, and even they were envious and jealous, envious, jealous!
But now, even if you do your best, you have to establish a king's authority.
When the three of them were in place, as soon as the cold training was struck, the three of them began to train, and the surrounding black pressure was full of government soldiers, their eyes were shining, and their expressions were excited, and they were envious of the fine iron armor on the three of them, and the armor of the iron armor guard was made of fine iron, if they could also have one, he would return to his hometown with glory, and his parents and brothers would have light on their faces!
All the way, I watched Yuan Hao and the three of them cross the single-plank bridge, climb the rooftop, roll the stone slab, cross the single-plank sandbag, and cross the high and low plum blossom piles...... There was also a bow and arrow to shoot at the target, which was thrilling, and almost fell several times, and by the end of the line, it was already a quarter of an hour later, and the three of them were tired and out of breath.
Ye Guiyue twisted his eyebrows and looked at the three of them, "In the future, the three of you will have to take the lead in training every day, and when the training time is controlled within half a pillar of incense, you can be regarded as a qualified general!" ”
Chu Pei panted, and when he heard half a pillar of incense, he almost fainted, this was to kill him, and immediately shouted, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, Brother Yue, as a general, show us a demonstration, so that we can be convinced." ”
After Chu Pei finished speaking, Yuan Hao immediately said, "Yes, let the general show us!" ”
The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth hooked, and he threw the red jade fan in his hand to Leng Feng, Leng Xun over there brought the armor over, Ye Guiyue changed into the armor, and the silver armor was worn on his body, and the evil and unbridled aura was swept away, and there was a domineering spirit that looked down on the world between his eyes.
The hundred-pound armor was worn on his body, and he walked up without the slightest sense of heaviness, as if he was wearing a brocade robe, which made Chu Pei cry out in surprise and patted Leng Feng's shoulder, "Tell me honestly, is the armor on your county prince real or fake?" ”
Leng Feng glanced at Chu Pei, "The prince of the county has been used to wearing armor since he was a child. Naturally, I feel relaxed. ”
Childhood...... Accustomed to wearing ......
Talking nonsense with his eyes open, he has been used to wearing armor since he was a child, whether he is wrong or not, Chu Pei can't believe it no matter what. A gentleman county king, who fights all day long and causes trouble, actually wears armor, or is he used to wearing it?
However, the facts are in front of them, and they can't believe it!
I saw that more than ten meters away, on the single-plank bridge, between the rotation of sandbags, a black shadow flashed, and crossed the rooftop in the blink of an eye. Standing on the rooftop, he took the bow and shot the arrow, and when the arrow was off the string, he immediately threw the bow back to its original position and jumped down......
Don't talk about half a pillar of incense. A third of the incense sticks were not used.
Yuan Hao, Chu Pei and Rong Jingxuan looked at each other, they all thought that the prince of the county was bullying and fighting with him, everyone was afraid of hurting him, and they didn't dare to fight back.
Ye Guiyue took off his helmet. Directly threw it to Leng Xun, stood in front and said, "Anyone who passes the test within a stick of incense will be rewarded with a set of fine iron armor!" ”
There are 3,000 soldiers, and everyone will have armor, but in order. As long as you can reach the end of the road and accept the test, you can get it, and those who get it first will receive different rewards.
The training ground is huge. There are ten such training sites, and groups of 300 people are tested one after another.
The venue is crazy, and everyone wants armor.
Ye Guiyue sat there sipping tea, and the armor on his body was also removed, and anyone who passed through it would come to tell him about it.
Two quarters of an hour later, a small soldier rushed forward and said, "Lord Jun, the emperor has ordered you to be demoted by one level. ”
Yuan Hao frowned, "The prince of the county didn't make a mistake, how could the emperor belittle him?" ”
The little soldier hurriedly replied, "It seems that it is because the prince of the county has not gone to court today." ”
Chu Pei's face was black, the emperor was really mad, he had been aggrieved for so many years, and finally exhaled and raised his eyebrows, I don't know what Brother Yue should do, I glanced at it, and saw Ye Guiyue sipping tea lightly, with a faint expression, as if he was not degraded at all, such a detached and free mentality is really not something that ordinary people can have.
Leng Feng stood beside Ye Guiyue, thinking in his heart, the lord will be away from Beijing for a long time, and the emperor will be demoted one level a day, and it is estimated that when the lord returns to Beijing, he will almost be reduced to the county prince.
Besides, when Zhiwan got the news, he was treating Huan Zi's illness, and this time he pulled out a small half bowl of bruises, and said to Mrs. Huan, "The blood accumulated in Master Huan's brain is better than I imagined, and his physical condition is also good, I will prescribe two more prescriptions to help him regulate his body, and he will be fully recovered in less than three months." ”
Mrs. Huan smiled with tears in her eyes, nodded again and again, thanked Zhiwan for saving her life, and Zhiwan hurriedly helped her up.
Huan Jiao because she went to Princess Liuhua's Mansion to practice dance with the county lord of Jining and others, she was not in Huan Mansion, and the age difference between Zhiwan and Mrs. Huan was too big to talk together, so she sat for a while and went out of Huan's Mansion.
got into the carriage, and Zhiwan heard about Ye Guiyue's debasement, except for the black lines on his face, he couldn't cry or laugh.
What made Zhiwan cry and laugh was still behind, and when she returned to Zhennan Wangfu from Huan Mansion, the carriage stopped when it reached the small gate, and there was a noisy commotion outside.
Zhiwan lifted the curtain of the car, and Leng Shi pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Princess Jun, the front of the palace is crowded with guests who have come to congratulate the little prince, and the carriage can't pass." ”
Zhiwan leaned out of the body, stood on the wheel and looked, raised his wrist lightly, and rubbed his temples that were a little faintly painful, "Is this a gift to congratulate, or has it become a fire on the fire?" ”
Leng Mu couldn't help but say, "Naturally, it's a joke to look at the master, the little prince is rising step by step, and he has crossed the county prince, the county prince is already angry enough to give the little prince away, and now the county prince has been degraded again, these people are obviously the little prince of Daohe, and the prince of Daohe County is not demoted." ”
I don't know if I know it, it's just a little powerless, when Chen'er was named the king of the county, few people came to congratulate him, and they all had other plans, he was named a prince, and a bunch of dissatisfied people were impeached, how could there be people to congratulate him, but he was reprimanded, and the people who gave gifts came in a pile, "In the future, if there is a shortage of silver, I will ask the prince to provoke the emperor." ”
Leng Mu and Leng Shi sat on horseback, a little messy, I thought that the county princess was gloated by them, and the princess of the county would be angry, and it was the princess of the county who dared to be the most angry.
The gate was blocked, Zhiwan had to go back to Linmoxuan from the small door, those gifts were confiscated by Zheng's mother, and directly let Manager Ye hand them over to the princess, and the princess was not polite. Anyway, it's a windfall, don't collect it for nothing, Linmoxuan is a part of the palace, and people are in exchange. Lin Moxuan will not send a single copy, this thing Lin Moxuan has received, and he will have to return the gift from the palace in the future, Zheng's mother understands, and she also understands, so she doesn't pretend to be confused.
Zhiwan doesn't like to entertain these people, the princess said that the little prince and the little county lord fell asleep, and outsiders were not allowed to disturb it, so no one came to Moxuan.
Sitting next to the shaker, Zhiwan is holding a beauty fan. Fan gently, there was a trace of cool air in the copper furnace of birds and beasts not far away, Yao's mother opened the copper stove, took out the frozen bird's nest porridge inside, and brought it to Zhiwandao. "The princess of the county has been tired for a long time, and after eating bird's nest porridge, she went to the heat."
Zhiwan was hot, and after serving the bowl, she ate it, Yao's mother continued to help Chen'er Si'er fan the wind, and turned to Zhiwan and said, "When Qian'er returned to the door, the emperor specially ordered the eldest lady of the Su family to help her be the wife of Hou Yeping." The same wife, it stands to reason that the bones of the second lady should be taken back to the ancestral grave of the Qin family in the next few days, the slave maid specially sent someone back to the Hou Mansion to inquire, the old lady was stubborn, and insisted on refusing the second lady to pass the door, the girl look? ”
Zhiwan is eating bird's nest. The cool and silky slippery feeling went straight from the throat to the heart and lungs, and it was cool, listening to Yao's mother's words, that coolness was suddenly replaced by an anger, and it was Zhao again. Just because she suffered some humiliation back then, she was not allowed to enter the door, and now that the emperor has issued a holy decree, she still doesn't allow it, but she is afraid that she will not be left behind when she sees that the Qian family dares to resist the queen mother's decree and disobey it!
Poria couldn't help muttering on the side, the old lady is really an old birthday star hanged, she thinks her life is long, she even dares to disobey the emperor's holy decree, where is the second lady not good to provoke her, the princess of the county should really teach her a lesson, so that she dares to rely on the old and sell the old, that is the princess of the county, the grandmother of the little prince!
Yao's mother looked at Zhiwan, she knew that it was most appropriate for Zhiwan to come forward in this matter, so as not to make it difficult for Hou Ye to be a person, and Zhiwan couldn't think of a good idea for a while, after all, it was her father's mother-in-law.
Outside, Qiu'er opened the curtain and came in, and only after saluting Zhiwan did she say, "The slave and maid inquired clearly, the old lady dared to resist and disobey, and it was the second wife who instigated her behind her back, saying that the girl had coal mine shares in her hand, and she did not honor the old lady, but gave it to the eldest young master, saying that you don't have the old lady's ...... in your heart." ”
Qiu'er listened to Yao's mother's instructions to go back to inquire about this, and happened to meet Qin Zhizhang, he wanted Su Xiangwan to enter Su's house, or the coal mine shares were taught, when did Qiu'er stop her, although she was not with the princess of the county for a short time, but she had a three-point understanding of the princess of the county, the more she persecuted the princess of the county, the more the princess of the county would not compromise, the shares were given to him by the princess of the county, so it could not be easily given away, there was a princess of the county in everything.
Zhiwan heard Qiu'er's words, and a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, the shares were in the hands of the Zhao family, wasn't it given to the second master and the second wife, daring to calculate and threaten her, she also asked her to taste what it means to eat the evil consequences.
Originally, Zhiwan had no ill will towards the second room, and the second wife loved to take advantage of the Zhao family, and it was not pleasant to find the Qian family, she was happy to see the show, but now, Zhiwan felt that she couldn't tolerate them.
Zhiwan continued to eat bird's nest, Qiu'er withdrew, went to the door, and almost collided with Xia'er who came in, seeing that she was in a hurry, Qiu'er wondered, "Why is it in such a hurry?" ”
Xia Er came in with the curtain and said in a panic, "It's the old lady, the old lady sent Mother Hua to come to Moxuan." ”
Zhiwan heard it, since Ye Guiyue said those words that day, Zhiwan was a little worried about the old lady, and if she said it straight, she was an elder again, she really couldn't stand it!
Yao's mother went out to greet Hua's mother, welcomed Hua's mother in, and asked Poria to pour tea, Hua's mother waved her hand with a cold face and said, "You're welcome, the slave maid is just on the orders of the old lady to urge the princess of the county, the old lady's knee hurts, and she is still waiting for the princess's ointment, it's been three days, why haven't you sent it yet, the old lady asked the slave to ask, when can it be used, give a quasi-word, the old lady doesn't like to wait stupidly without knowing it." ”
It's really not an ordinary straightforwardness, Zhiwan hurriedly said, "It's almost ready in the evening, and I'll send it to the old lady as soon as it's ready." ”
Mother Hua nodded her head, "The slave will tell the old lady truthfully, oh, the old lady said, she doesn't like those twists and turns, if it is made, it is made, if it is not, it is not, there is no need to make her old man suffer more for the sake of face." ”
After Hua's mother finished speaking, Fu Shen bowed, and then turned around and left, leaving Zhiwan to sit there, with a chill down her back.
She really postponed it for the sake of face, and said that it was made in the evening, and the old lady even knew this, did she really know it or was it blinded?
It's just that the words have already been spoken, and if you don't carry it, you have to carry it.
Zhiwan glanced at the hour, and it was almost time for lunch. Why didn't Ye Guiyue come back, and was about to ask, Mother Zheng came in and said, "Lord Jun." The prince of the county is having lunch in the barracks today and is not coming back. ”
After having lunch alone, Zhiwan walked around the house, the sun outside was scorching, and the flowers were so hot that it was easy to burn the skin.
After wandering around for a while, I was about to take a nap when the maid came in and told the fourth lady that she was coming.
Zhiwan frowned, a little puzzled, why did the fourth wife come to Moxuan. So he went to the main house to see the fourth wife.
When I went, the fourth wife was drinking tea, and the fourth lady, Ye Ranshu, was also there, with a pair of crooked eyes. Exclaimed, "Mother, Linmoxuan's tea tastes so special, fragrant, with the fragrance of jasmine and the fragrance of lily, how is this brewed?" ”
Chun'er replied. "This is a special health tea made by the princess of the county, drinking it at noon in midsummer, it has the effect of removing fatigue and preventing heat stroke, and it can also eliminate toxins in the body and maintain beauty and beauty."
The fourth lady raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked at Zhiwan who entered the door. said with a smile, "My nephew and daughter-in-law deserve the name of a miracle doctor, and there are so many doorways for a cup of tea, I have to taste it well." ”
Zhiwan said a few words modestly, and sat down after owing a debt. asked, "On such a hot day, is there anything wrong with the fourth aunt looking for me?" ”
The fourth wife put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the weather is hot, and the cherished flowers in the garden have died a lot, I said to your other two aunts and the princess in time, remembering that the prince of the county had robbed the imperial garden and sent you a lot of rare flowers, I also know that you sent it to the small courtyard for the little prince and the little princess to enjoy, and now the little prince and the little princess have also returned to the palace, when will those flowers move back, and the fourth aunt of the province will not be able to put it in the garden, and it will be said that it is a waste of the palace's money." ”
Zhiwan didn't expect that the fourth wife came for the flowers, these days it is indeed a little hot, and the flowers in Lin Moxuan are not very energetic, she is really a little worried that the flowers in the courtyard will not survive.
But those flowers, she is of great use, she didn't think about sending them back to the palace, "How should the fourth aunt be Zhang Luo or how to Zhang Luo, don't take those flowers to heart, I don't plan to move back to the palace." ”
The fourth lady was a little dumbfounded, "You don't plan to move back?" You live in the palace with the prince of the county, and you can go to the small courtyard several times a year, and those precious flowers are left in vain, what a waste of it? ”
Zhiwan smiled freely, "Fourth aunt, don't worry, I have a lot of use for those flowers, and I have asked someone to take care of them, how can I waste them in vain?" ”
The fourth lady smiled, there was a look of concern in her eyes, she knew that flowers were not so easy to want, and forced her to be this bird, so she smiled and said, "The fourth aunt guessed that you were useful, so I didn't ask more, and I rejected the princess, but it was another thing, the fourth aunt asked you to help, the sun was scorching, and the whitening balm you gave to the fourth aunt that day was very effective, I went out yesterday, and several wives came to me, I didn't have any extra to send, and it was not good to refuse, this can not only ask you to come here......." ”
Ye Ranshu sat there, her black eyes rolling slightly, and said with a smile, "Mother, sister-in-law, this whitening balm works so well, so many ladies like it, if you open a shop to sell, you will definitely be able to make money." ”
Zhiwan looked at Ye Ranji, a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and her head was flexible enough, "I really plan to sell this balm for money, but the shop is still under construction, the fourth aunt wants it, I still have a few boxes left, but I don't know if the eldest aunt will want it, I don't want to favor one over the other, but I'm a little embarrassed." ”
The fourth lady said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you favor one over the other, there is always a first to come in everything, you have to use it to earn silver, how can you swallow dates and give it away, the fourth aunt only needs four boxes to be enough." ”
Zhiwan glanced at Poria Cocos, Poria pouted, she didn't like the fourth wife a little, and she didn't want to give it to her, but it was too stingy not to give it, so she still went to get it.
The fourth wife wanted to buy shares, but she said that night, that day, she said that the shop was half of one person, and she didn't plan to share it with others, so she opened her mouth to be bored, and asked Chen'er Si'er a few words, and then took Ye Ranji away.
As soon as they left on the front foot, the maid on the back foot came in and said, "The princess of the county, the princess is invited." ”
Looking at the ceiling at night, things are really not ordinary today.
