Chapter 204: Entering the Palace
In a word, Lord Yuan did not agree with the proposal of Nanshun and Northern Qi, if there were no 30,000 iron horsemen on the grassland, he might still be a little hesitant, but it was only some, since the odds of victory were great, what else would he do with Fu Xiao? Do you get up and be looked down upon?
Wei Guogong and King Xiang are in a group, and they stood up to help King Xiang speak, "Lord Yuan's words are good, but King Xiang's words are not lacking in truth, the disaster of war is avoided, a war, how many years will it take for the court to recover, the minister feels that Nanshun and Northern Qi should have learned about the loan of troops to us by the grassland royal court, and intends to retreat, and ask the king of Yue County to confess, it is estimated that it is just a step down for himself, if the court really intends to extinguish the war, it is ......." ”
Wei Guogong gushed endlessly, no one stopped him, and when he finished speaking, Emperor Wenyuan took a sip elegantly, and then Yun said lightly, "I have no intention of suing for peace, I am willing to fight this battle, and I will win this battle!" The king of Yuejun has a stubborn temperament, and there is evidence that may not be able to make him admit guilt, not to mention that it is just a statement out of thin air, Wei Guogong, you have turned your elbow to Nanshun and Northern Qi, be careful when you enter and leave the mansion in the future, I am worried that your arm is ....... ”
Emperor Wen Yuan glanced at Wei Guogong with a regretful face, Wei Guogong's body trembled, he almost couldn't stand steadily, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he didn't dare to say a word.
But no matter how careful he was, when he left the palace, the horse suddenly went crazy, and he overturned Wei Guogong off the horse, and his left arm was broken.
The news of Wei Guogong falling from a horse and breaking his arm reached Zhiwan's ears, and a maid came in to say, "Princess Jun, something happened in the military camp, and the prince of Wei Guo thought that Wei Guogong fell from his horse and was harmed by the prince of the county." Carrying a sword to the barracks, he was beaten by the government soldiers. ”
Zhiwan listened to it funny and hugged Chen'er. teasing him with a wave drum, "It's strange that someone was beaten at the door." ”
The prince of Weiguo is commendable for his filial piety, but unfortunately his brain is not very good, even his father dares to fight, how can he take him in his eyes and dare to break into the military camp. If he doesn't get beaten, who gets beaten?
Zhiwan also thought that Ye Guiyue did it, but a certain county king was depressed at this time. He hasn't even entered the palace, he hasn't seen Wei Guogong for several days, who has nothing to beat him up when he's full?!
He eats everything, but he doesn't suffer. was slandered, and he could swallow his anger, which was never his character, and in a fit of anger, he directly ordered the soldiers who were watching the excitement around, "Beat me up, don't beat me to death, keep your breath." ”
Dare to kill the door to bully their general, it is purely the old birthday star eating arsenic. I'm tired of living, since the general is annoyed, these of their subordinates. What else did he say, he didn't use a knife, and directly beat the prince of Weiguo and a dozen family members he brought, and rolled out of the barracks directly, if it weren't for the prince of Weiguo wearing brocade clothes. Who knows who's who when you leave?
Zhiwan was all a joke, but the truth was not what she thought. The Queen Mother sent a decree and summoned her to the palace.
Bathing and changing clothes, and dressing up carefully, Zhiwan took Bai Peony and Bamboo Fragrance out of Linmoxuan, got into the carriage, and went straight to the palace.
Zhiwan is not the first time to enter the palace, it has been a long time since the last time she came, she only remembers the luxurious atmosphere of the palace, and when she looks at it again, she still feels that the beauty of the palace is amazing.
Beauty is beautiful, but she still doesn't like it very much, the palace rules are too restrictive, she advocates freedom, and the palace is a place that is extremely easy to change people's hearts.
Shou'an Palace, graceful and quiet, chrysanthemums in full bloom.
Gong E walked in an orderly manner, Zhiwan looked at it, the amplitude of the swing of her hands and the steps under her feet were almost the same, and there was almost no difference.
The queen mother is sitting in the main hall, full of pearls and jade, the phoenix crown trembles slightly, more than half a hundred years old, but the demeanor has not diminished back then, the maintenance is excellent, when she steps into the evening, she really sipps tea.
After tasting it, there was a trace of anger on the white face that couldn't see a few wrinkles, and he smashed the teacup to the ground, "Bastard thing, this is also called 'Shifeng Longjing', who sent it into the palace to fool the emperor?!" ”
The Queen Mother was furious, and the maids and grandmothers below knelt on the ground and said, "The Queen Mother is angry." ”
The queen hurriedly said, "The queen mother is angry, the Shifeng Longjing before the Qingming Festival is the best, but there are only a few plants in the middle, the difference is limited, this year is the year of famine, the harvest is poor, presumably the people below are afraid that the emperor will blame, so they will use the surrounding tea to shoddy and send it to the palace." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, and she snorted, "I can't say it directly, the emperor is a wise king, how can he not know right from wrong and blame them indiscriminately." ”
The queen said yes again and again, and asked the maid to soak in Junshan Maofeng in addition.
Zhiwan stepped forward with small steps, and her heart turned a thousand times, I don't know if it was too coincidental by herself, or if this play happened to be played for her?
looked unmoved, Zhiwan stepped forward calmly, just when the queen mother was angry, she could still be so calm, but the queen was impressed.
Looking up and down, I saw that her figure was slender and exquisite, her delicate waist was full of hand, just right to show the curves like flowing water, green silk piles, complexion like jade, full and bright lips like a little red, thin makeup, but it can't hide the bright light of natural beauty.
It's more verve than the last time I saw it.,It's more beautiful.,It seems that playing outside is a better way to raise people.。
Zhiwan curtsied, and his voice was as crisp as a jade falling to the ground, "The courtiers have seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu, and the Queen Mother, Queen Jin'an." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Zhiwan twice, and raised her hand lightly, "Give me a seat." ”
Zhiwan just sat down, she couldn't sit full, she could only sit on half of her ass, if the chair slipped a little, she could slide to the ground, put aside these funny thoughts, Zhiwan looked at the Queen Mother with slightly uneasy eyes, "I don't know why the Queen Mother came to me?" ”
Zhiwan's expression made the queen mother's heart feel a lot better, but she didn't speak, it was the queen who spoke, "The princess of the county has been away from Beijing for two months, and as soon as she comes back, she will pass you to speak, the palace heard that the water bandits in the Jiushan Lake area hijacked the golden silk nanmu that the king transported into the palace to build the palace for the queen mother was hijacked by the water bandits, and you and the king of Yue County were in charge and sold them, but is it true?" ”
It's for this, not to mention that she forgot about it, this is really a reckoning after the autumn. Zhiwan was a little frightened and said, "Didn't the Queen Mother sympathize with the people's feelings and donate the golden silk nanmu used to build the palace for disaster relief?" I heard that the victims also made stone statues of the Queen Mother. I'm praying for your blessings. ”
The queen mother's face was gloomy, there was a sense of being calculated, her neck was pinched, and she couldn't tell the sense of grievance, she was a deep palace queen mother, what do you want those reputations to do, in addition to provoking the emperor's jealousy. It's useless, and it's a waste of the filial piety of the king!
"Do you know what false propagation is?" The Queen Mother popped out coldly.
Zhiwan's frightened face turned white. Instantly calmed down again, "Fake Yi's decree, and punish the nine clans." After speaking, he looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of bright eyes. Who ate the ambitious leopard and dared to fake the queen mother's decree? ”
Seeing Zhiwan pretending to be stupid like this, the queen's face was not good-looking, and she directly made her words clear, "The queen mother has never said that she donated the golden silk nanmu, I don't know where the princess heard it?" There are also water bandits in the area of Jiushan Lake, how could they hand over the hijacked golden silk nanmu to you, and even be incorporated into the army by you. ”
Zhiwan's face was shocked, "Does the Queen Mother have no intention of donating the golden silk nanmu?" I heard from Xianggong that we were passing by Jiushan Lake at that time. Seeing the robbery of the water bandits in front, I originally wanted to take a detour, but I didn't want to meddle in this mess. But the queen mother's kindness, how could she cheapen the group of water bandits in vain, and the prince asked the secret guard to hijack the leader of the water bandits, forcing them to hand over the golden silk nanmu, and let them change their ways! ”
Zhiwan was shocked when he said it, and he looked innocent. The slender armor of the angry Queen Mother pierced into her hands, and she couldn't even notice it. I just feel that my heart is full of anger, and I have good teeth!
In a few words, he removed himself cleanly, and made it clear that it was the water bandits of Jiushan Lake who hijacked the golden silk nanmu, they just went to play, and they didn't want to care about this mess, but for the sake of her good deeds, they stopped it, if she said no, then they did it, and they were misled, even if the batch of golden silk nanmu was not cheap for those disaster victims, it also fell into the hands of the Jiushan Lake bandits, she got a good reputation for nothing, they have merit, they should be rewarded for it, questioning them, it is completely unreasonable, but it is nonsense!
The Queen Mother has been in a high position for a long time, and few people dare to talk to her like this, King Yuejun is the first, she is the second!
The queen squinted her eyes, brought tea to the queen mother, and told the queen mother to calm her anger, the matter has come to this point, the golden silk nanmu must not be able to chase back, today I brought the princess of Yuejun, and I also wanted to beat her, "Next time, the princess of the county can have a long snack, if the queen mother really has the heart to donate the golden silk nanmu to the victims, how can it be transported into the palace, back and forth, isn't it in vain?" ”
Zhiwan suddenly realized, nodded again and again, admitted that she was stupid, and then the queen mother's personal grandmother spoke, "King Xiang's mind is in vain, even if there is some misunderstanding, the princess of the county should give an explanation to the Xiangwangfu, a good birthday banquet can't be held." ”
Zhiwan didn't seem to understand, "You want my father-in-law to accompany King Xiang, don't you?" It's simple, in a word. ”
The face of the close-fitting grandmother was smacked, and a simple sentence was not, who wouldn't, "Now that the war is imminent, the treasury is empty, and the princess of the county has silver, this batch of golden silk nanmu is worth 100,000, how can it be made up for with an apology?" ”
Zhiwan finally couldn't pretend to be able to do so, glanced at the Queen Mother, and saw that they were drinking tea and silent, such a thing that wanted to cover up, when Mama said it, they didn't stop it, and it was not much different from saying it from their mouths.
Since he couldn't be fooled, Zhiwan didn't pretend to be confused, and said bluntly, "Listening to Mama's words, it means that our husband and wife should take full responsibility for the fault, right?" It's okay, there is not much else on the water side, the money is enough, and I turned around and asked the emperor to make a holy decree, saying that the batch of golden silk nanmu was donated by me and the prince of the county, and the silver can be earned again when the silver is gone, and the feeling of being admired by the people is not something that can be exchanged for silver. ”
After speaking, regardless of the Queen Mother's greatly changed face, she added with a smile, "Ming'er, I will ask someone to send the money to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
The Empress Dowager sneered as if she had eaten a fly and sneered, "What a wealthy princess of Yuejun is threatening the mourning family?!" ”
Zhiwan looked at her puzzled, "How is it a threat to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asked me to compensate, and I didn't refuse not to compensate, but I spent money, and I always had to pay some benefits, thankless work, even if I was willing, the prince of the county would not do it, besides, I dared to die for a hundred taels of gold, Kyoto has heard of it, I will pay 100,000 taels quickly, that is because I think the people's hearts and I have greater benefits, in fact, that batch of golden silk nanmu was really bought by the king of Xiang and given to the queen mother to build a palace?" It's just a golden silk nanmu requisitioned in the name of the imperial court. The money should be handed over to the imperial court. ”
The queen mother's heart was so angry that she panicked, and the queen scolded, "Bastard." Dare to contradict the Queen Mother, come and drag the palace out to fight! ”
Zhiwan stood up, and with a slight glance of his eyes, those maids didn't dare to step forward, and Zhiwan sneered, "Inexplicable." If you tell the truth, you will also be beaten, and you will listen to lies and just say no. ”
What happened in Shou'an Palace. Soon it reached the imperial study, in the ears of Emperor Wen Yuan, Emperor Wen Yuan frowned when he heard that the Queen Mother was going to know that it was too late. Gonggong Xu worried, "The princess of the county is straight, she must have verbally collided with the queen mother, what if she is really beaten?" ”
Emperor Wenyuan is very calm, the Queen Mother will not beat her, she doesn't dare to fight, but she just wants to force her to be soft, in the court, how powerful is the King of Zhennan. He still doesn't know if he beat his daughter-in-law, and the fourth prince wants to establish a prince. That's hard to beat.
Don't look at him as the emperor, he only has half of the right to be the master, he can only pamper which prince more, and give the civil and military officials a few choices.
Insisting on going its own way will sooner or later cause chaos in the court. Civil war broke out.
The Queen Mother's party is huge, and he has long wanted to uproot it. Before, there was insufficient evidence, and then the time was not ripe, so it was better to let Zhiwan mess with their positions, "Why did the princess of the county anger the queen mother?" ”
The little father-in-law hurriedly said, "The queen mother was angry because of the matter of Jinsi Nanmu, and the grandmother proposed to ask the princess of the county for compensation, and the princess of the county agreed, but she only made a request that angered the queen mother." ”
Emperor Wenyuan raised his right brow, and Gonggong Xu urged, "Talking is slurred, and it has become the appetite of the emperor in the heart, be careful to hit the board, fast, what are the requirements?" ”
The little father-in-law is not afraid, he is also a person with eyes, the emperor is happy, "The princess of the county said that it is okay to lose money, anyway, she has money, but her money cannot be spent in vain, and she has to let those victims know that it is she and the prince of the county who have paid for them to help them get through the difficulties, and it has nothing to do with the old man of the queen mother, so let those people not carve the wrong stone statue and worship the wrong person." ”
Emperor Wenyuan choked on a sip of tea in his throat, coughed again and again, Gonggong Xu hurriedly patted him on the back, but there were black lines on his forehead, and the princess of the county was a little bolder, and she threatened the queen mother like this, doesn't this make all the people in the world spurn the queen mother, only care about their own pleasure, and ignore the people of the world?
Originally, the people of the world didn't know, but if they knew, and then they knew that Xie was the wrong person, they were more and more grateful to the princess of the county, and they were spurned and disdainful of the queen mother, maybe the stone statue of the queen mother would be overturned for her, the queen mother was in the harem, and she was used to being flattered, how could she be so angry, the princess of the county was so bold.
But it's not wrong to say that the princess of the county, she and the queen mother are not related, the prince of the county and the queen mother still have old grievances, she can't make it to curry favor with the queen mother, so she pays 100,000 taels of silver, and it is one thing to burn her hands if she has more money, but no one will do other people's things for nothing, and you always have to get some benefits after spending money, which is also a matter of course.
Soon, there was another little father-in-law, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian went to Shou'an Palace and interceded for the princess of the county." ”
Gonggong Xu chuckled, "The princess of the county is the concubine of the fourth prince in the future, and the concubine should intercede for the princess of the county, that is, ......." ”
I just don't know if the princess of the county will accept this love.
Gonggong Xu thought, when the emperor recognized the eldest prince and crowned the crown prince, the princess of the county lived in the East Palace, and the queen mother and queen mother saw each other every three or five times, and the palace was ironclad.
It's been a long time since the peaceful days, and he actually thought about the days when chickens flew and dogs jumped, and Gonggong Xu felt that he had become unkind, but when he glanced at the emperor's expression, he knew that he wanted to go with the emperor again.
The queen is just very angry, and she wants the maid and grandmother to beat Zhiwan to get angry, and she also wants to know that the evening is soft, but Zhiwan is so difficult, those grandmothers are timid, and they have some eyes, they don't move and there is a little turnaround, if they really want to drag, it is no different from fighting.
Concubine Xian pointed to Qin Zhiyu and Zhiwan to get the support of the Zhennan Palace, but she didn't dare to offend the Queen Mother clearly, so she could only say good things on both sides, and said with a smile, "The princess of the county is short-tempered, even the king of Yue County has nothing to do with her, the queen mother, you have a lot, don't be like her, I'm late, I don't know what you're arguing about?" ”
The queen sat there, her complexion was much better, and she looked like nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "It's just that the palace and the queen mother have lived in the deep palace for a long time, just to have some fun, and I also want to take the opportunity to see how bold the princess of Yuejun is who can clean up the king of Yuejun, which really makes the palace startled, bold enough, courageous, worthy of designing a wonderful person on the water side." ”
Zhiwan sat there, deeply impressed by the queen's self-written, self-directed and self-acting skills, if she hadn't seen that she was really angry, she would really think that they were just testing her, but the queen had found steps for herself, she didn't hurry up while the ladder was still there, hurry down, "Fortunately, I have a lot of courage, otherwise I would really be scared by the queen's temptation like this, I just laughed, I don't know what the queen came to me for?" ”
The queen gathered her expression, used the teacup lid to carry the tea, took a sip of tea elegantly, and then spoke, "It's not a big deal, it's just that this morning, when the palace was visiting the imperial garden, I heard a palace maid break her mouth, saying that the eldest prince is actually not dead, and is still alive. ”
Concubine Xian's delicate face was full of shock, "The eldest prince is still alive?" ”
The queen was worried, she knew that the eldest prince was not dead, and she thought that there would be no more news of him in this life, but she didn't expect it to reach the palace, she was shocked at the time, it can be imagined, it was the nephew of the king of Zhennan!
In the harem, no one should want to see the eldest prince return unharmed.
Zhiwan looked at the queen blankly, such news came from the Zhennan Palace, maybe, such a thing, few people know at all, the maids around her have not entered the palace, how to spread the news, this is a deliberate attempt to scare her, Zhiwan intends to deny it, but after thinking about it, this may be the emperor's idea, the purpose is to make people mentally prepared, the eldest prince is still alive.
makes people take the initiative to ignore the news that the eldest prince has died for more than ten years, and make some foreshadowing for the recognition of the eldest prince, but pitifully, she has become the stepping stone of the foreshadowing.
Zhiwan hesitated for a long time, and Concubine Xian was a little impatient, "Princess Jun, is the eldest prince really alive?" ”
Zhiwan raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Xian for a long time, and nodded her head, "I have heard such news, it was said by the maid who served the former queen, named Mei Xue, she said that the eldest prince was sent out of the palace by a mysterious person, and when he evaded pursuit, he temporarily handed over the eldest prince to a roadside person to take care of him, I know so much." ”
Concubine Xian frowned, "Handed over to the roadside people for adoption?" More than ten years have passed, and who knows if the child is dead or alive? ”
The queen and the queen mother glanced at each other, full of shock, in addition to the emperor, Xu Gonggong knew about this, only them, the emperor and Xu Gonggong could not say, because of anger, he threw his son to the beggar, the emperor couldn't afford to lose this face, then Mei Xue would know that she was allowed to escape back then, it must have been Xu Gonggong who saved her, maybe Xu Gonggong threw the child to the beggar, and as soon as the secret guard left, Mei Xue took the eldest prince away, it must be so!
Knowing that the eldest prince was in exile, she was deeply favored by the former queen, and it was impossible to sit idly by, thinking about it, the queen couldn't sit still.
In the future, the eldest prince and the king of Zhennan will recognize each other, and with the power of the Zhen'an Palace, she will ascend to the throne, and as the savior of the eldest prince, her status in the harem is definitely more honorable than the queen mother...... The queen clenched her hands, they had been deployed for so many years, but don't destroy it on the pig's brain and Mei Xue!
The queen's face was extremely ugly, and she pretended to ask calmly, "Since Mei Xue saw the eldest prince, it makes no sense to know where he is now." ”
Zhiwan smiled, "Mei Xue did say it, but we didn't go to him, he has his own life, the matter of the first queen has not been rehabilitated, find him, don't you let the emperor kill him again?" ”
Concubine Xian hurriedly asked, "Where is the eldest prince now?" ”
Zhiwan looked embarrassed, "Don't force me to ask, I won't say it, such a big thing, I'm just a boudoir woman, just a husband and children, if you want to know, you can ask my father-in-law, but the emperor asked him, but he didn't say anything." ”
The Queen Mother glared angrily, slapped the table and said, "The eldest prince should have died more than ten years ago, he was born to the first queen and King Lian, and it is a shame for the royal family, if you don't report it, what crime should you be guilty of!" (To be continued)
