On the second day, the sun was shining in the capital of Pickaxe, and Concubine Song's departure did not cast the slightest shadow on the city. The women in the palace went back and forth, busy with the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens after the tribute, and busy dealing with the funeral of Concubine Song at this moment. The courtiers in the front hall all lowered their heads on this day, not daring to speak, and the death of Concubine Song made people feel a lot of suspicions, but no one linked this matter with Bao Xi's poisoning.
Before the end of the day, Zheng Boyou came out of the Zheng Mansion, and he kept hearing the courtiers discussing the death of Concubine Song, and three or five courtiers gathered around and whispered, "This Concubine Song is so decent, why did she commit suicide?" I see...... There must be something else going on in this matter! ”
"What's there to guess about this?" Another courtier said, "The Empress Niangniang is friendly with the Qi State, and she planned to talk about the family affairs to match the two kingdoms of Qi and Song." However, Song Bo didn't know how to raise it, so he turned this matter away, because he ...... Now I have found such an excuse to send troops to encircle and suppress this Song State...... Concubine Song has been busy running around the Qi and Song disputes these days, and I heard that the king was invited to Huachen Hall for a whole day! ”
"What do you mean......" the other interjected, lowering his voice halfway through, "Did the mother do it?" ”
The analyst said, "Yo...... I didn't say anything, you can't lie to me! ”
Several officials had a look of understanding on their faces, nodded to each other, and then continued to walk in the direction of the front hall, Zheng Boyou, who was following them, felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, who knew that Bao Xi was almost going to lose his life because of Concubine Song's insidious viciousness, but now that Concubine Song is dead, it makes people talk about Bao Xi. He covered his chest, feeling heartache, he thought that his affairs about her had long been ignored, but now he couldn't stand listening to others degrading her.
Zheng Boyou took a step forward, almost opening his mouth to stop a few officials from discussing any further, but after thinking for a while, he felt that what was the use of blocking their mouths? had to retreat again and remain silent, he seemed to be able to experience every time in the past, his accusations against Bao Xi, she was silent in the mood. Many things are said and explained, and no one will believe them, so ...... Why waste your tongue?
Zheng Bo felt a little unhappy with this discovery, no matter how wise he thought he was, it turned out that in the end he was just some unavoidable world, he poked her backbone again and again, and scolded her angrily, what kind of mood should she have? After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Boyou realized that she didn't care what he thought of her, all she cared about was Zhou Wanggong alone.
Zheng Boyou shook his head, slowly walked up the steps of the front hall, and stood in the front hall, the golden hall was solemn, and after a while, Ji Gongyu walked up to the steps, reclined in his chair, and said to the rest of the ministers in a weak voice, "Do you have anything to do today?" ”
The black pressure below was silent.
"Since there isn't, let's talk to everyone, right?" Ji Gongyan stretched his waist, sat up straight, put his hands on his legs, and leaned down to look at the ministers standing in the front hall, "Yesterday, Concubine Song went. ”
"Please ......mourn on King's Day," the ministers said in unison.
"Hey...... A few days ago, Concubine Song looked for a widow to go to the Huachen Palace, praying for the widow to reconcile the dispute between the two kingdoms of Qi and Song, and the widow originally responded to the ......" Ji Gongyan shook his head as he spoke, and did not continue to speak, which made the remaining courtiers present feel panicked in their hearts, and the sentence that was not spoken probably refers to the accusations made by the courtiers against Ji Gongyan that day, if it weren't for the troubles of these courtiers, I am afraid that at this moment the Qi and Song Dynasty have already mediated, and the ministers had to say again, "The Great King's Day mourns" The matter of the dispute between Qi and Song ...... not even dare to mention.
Ji Gongyan sat on the front hall and let out a long sigh, "Concubine Song has already gone, and the widow must not break her promise to do so......" His gaze swept around the front hall, "Uncle Zheng ......"
"Wechen is here!" Zheng Boyou stepped forward and responded.
"Sima sent a letter a few days ago, asking the widow to mediate the dispute between the two kingdoms of Qi and Song, and he was willing to mediate and assassinate the relatives of the Qi state...... Since Sima said that he didn't care, then there is no need to pursue it further, what do you think? Ji Gongyan looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, he called Zheng Boyou Zheng Boyou instead of Zheng Situ, he originally called Zheng Boyou and felt a little strange, Zheng Qizhi had already won Zheng Guo, he didn't believe that Ji Gongyu would not know about it, but until now, he still doesn't mention it, what kind of calculation is it?
You can't put a Zheng Bo in the middle of the court, and a Zheng Bo in Zheng Guoan, since ancient times, there has never been such a thing.
"The king is wise!" Zheng Boyou stepped forward and clasped his hands into fists as a salute, "Although this matter is not the Song State, it is not from the original intention of Song Bo, rather than let the Great Zhou and the Song Dynasty fight each other, it is not as good as inviting the two countries to negotiate peace, in this way, the three kingdoms of Song, Wei and Qi are peaceful, and the blessings of the people of the Central Plains!" ”
"Since Uncle Zheng also thinks so...... The widow thinks that this lobbyist has to be appointed by Zheng Bo! Ji Gongyan looked at Zheng Boyou and said, the purpose of his invitation to Zheng Boyou, Zheng Boyou knew in his heart that Concubine Song murdered Empress Bao, only he knew the inside story best, as long as he said this to Song Bo, he was not afraid that Song Bo would not stop fighting, once Song Bo did not fight, Chu would have no reason to send troops, and Qi State could not cooperate with the princes to attack him.
"I will not dishonor my life!" Zheng Boyou swore and said.
"Do you think there is something wrong with the widow's arrangement?" Ji Gongyan looked at the rest of the courtiers, and all of them took a step back, knelt on the ground and whispered, "The king is wise." ”
……
Zheng Boyou didn't dare to prepare for too much time, so he hurriedly went on the road, and sent a letter to Dutu before leaving, asking Dutu to mediate in Qi and asking Qi Bo to collect his troops. He himself crossed the horse and ran towards the Song Kingdom, and from the pickaxe capital to the Song Kingdom, he must have passed through Zheng Guo, and the entourage who traveled with him on the road asked, "Master, are you going back to the Zheng Mansion?" ”
"No return...... Zheng Boyou shook his head, "What else is there to see?" If Qizhi knew that I was passing through Zheng Guo, he wouldn't know how to face me! ”
"But the old lady ......," said the attendant, "I heard that the old lady locked herself in the house and did not come out, but I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it for a long time!" The old man sneaked back quietly to see the old lady do her filial piety? ”
Zheng Boyou turned his head to look at the entourage who was talking to him, and thought for a long time before nodding, "It's okay...... The people of the brigade bypassed the capital of Zheng Guo, and you and I went to the Zheng Mansion, just take a look at the old lady and leave! ”
"Yes! The entourage ......nodded in response, and the two of them hurried towards the Zheng Mansion.
Zheng Guo's national capital is full of joyful colors, red lanterns are hung all over a street, everyone has a smile on their faces, Zheng Qizhi captured the capital that day, everyone thought they were dead, but Zheng Qizhi, who had just sat on the position of Zheng Bo, not only did not kill the people, but reduced taxes, and the people loved the new Zheng Bo, and now Zheng Mansion was happy, and the whole city also celebrated.
"What's going on?" The entourage frowned, thinking that Zheng Guo must be in a depression, who knew that it would be so lively.
"Go and ask!" Zheng Boyou said, lowered the brim of his hat, led the horse and walked forward slowly, he didn't even dare to stay in the store, he only planned to take advantage of the night to visit Mrs. Zheng in the Zheng Mansion, and then immediately go to the Song Kingdom. The attendant stopped the passer-by and asked a question or two, and the passer-by pointed to the follower and asked, "Look at the two of you, you are from out of town, right?" ”
The attendant nodded, "Yes, yes...... Going to Zheng Guo today, why is it so lively here? ”
"You don't know," said the passerby, "Uncle Zheng is getting married today, and we will celebrate it together!" ”
"Big wedding?" The entourage blurted out subconsciously, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Boyou's expression, his expression was very embarrassed.
"yes...... The night will definitely be lively, you two hurry up to find a shop to live, come out at night to join in the fun, this is really a hundred years of encounter! After the passer-by finished speaking, he walked towards the distance, his steps were brisk, and his expression was excited, and Zheng Boyou's face was not as good-looking as the people in the city, and the entourage walked back to Zheng Boyou's side and took a sip, "It's really a person who walks to tea and cool, master, are you still alive...... These people forgot about the second master's succession. ”
"Forget it!" Zheng Boyou raised his hand and signaled to his entourage that there was no need to continue, "As long as the people can live in peace and happiness, what does it matter who does this Zheng Bo?" You can't force them not to like a Zheng Bo who is good to them. ”
"I'm afraid that the wedding of the second master is just with ......" The entourage looked at Zheng Boyou, only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't know how to continue to talk to Zheng Boyou, Zheng Boyou had to smile bitterly and shook his head slightly, "When Niangniang handed Twenty-seven into my hands, she once instructed that if someone has a sincere love for Twenty-seven in the future, she also asked me to make decisions for Twenty-seven's marriage and put her in the hands of a man who really loves her." Now...... I'm not in vain. ”
"Twenty-seven has your ...... in my heart," the attendant said.
Zheng Boyou shook his head slightly, and reluctantly laughed, "What, do you think I can't let go?" ”
"It's a pity...... Master, you can't let go of your mother, so you ignore the feelings in Twenty-seven's heart, and you went to the second master's side, but I'm afraid that I still remember you in my heart! The attendant sighed, feeling that the matter was too sad.
"What's the use?" Zheng Boyou shook his head, led the horse and continued to walk forward, found a place where no one was around, tied the horse, and waited for the sky to sink down. Zheng Boyou almost unconsciously stood outside the door of the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Qizhi invited the master doctor to preside over the marriage, as soon as he appeared, the entourage immediately stepped forward and said, "This is ...... The speed of the betrayal of the master is really a waste of your trust, master! ”
"What does this have to do with him?" Zheng Boyou said lightly, "He was originally an official, and he can use it, but I feel relieved!" ”
"This ......" The entourage wanted to say something more, but the sound of firecrackers sounded again, and a red sedan chair was swayed from not far away, and Zheng Qi's people walked in front with a tall and proud face, and they didn't see the restless look of the previous days at all.
