Chapter Seventy-Three: The Letter of State
Yu Chiyan looked at the direction Qin Yining left, her eyes were shining, her expression was amazing, and she didn't hear Qin Huaiyuan's words in a daze.
Qin Huai could guess a thing or two when he saw his expression from afar, and raised his voice slightly: "The little girl has no form, please forgive Your Highness." ”
"Huh? Oh! What did the master say? Yu Chiyan's face was hot, and she covered her mouth and coughed before saying: "Ling Ai is pure and filial, he is a person with a true temperament, and what is wrong with such a temperament?" Compared with those delicate women, love is more heroic, like painting plum blossoms, only by adding strong branches, can you draw the wind bones, so that the wind bones of love are all in her temperament. ”
"The little girl is stubborn, and she really can't afford the praise of His Royal Highness. The ministers will discipline her strictly in the future. Qin Huaiyuan felt that Qin Yining's actions were too spicy and did not conform to the rules of everyone's ladies.
Yu Chiyan said hurriedly: "Taishi, don't restrain her, there is nothing bad about such a temperament." ”
Such an undisguised love for Qin Yining made Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but look at the emptiness in Yu Chiyan's expression, but when he saw that his white skin was red, he couldn't help but smile.
Who hasn't been young?
It's just that after years of officialdom baptism, Qin Huaiyuan's heart has long been wrapped in layers of hard rocks, and only when he sees such an interesting reaction from young people will he evoke some memories of his youth.
The two of them continued to walk on the gravel road one after the other, ordering their retinue to follow from a distance.
"This time the matter of the Dingguo Mansion is really embarrassing. Although I am the son of my father, I do not agree with my father's approach, but my father is now unwilling to listen to anyone's persuasion, only willing to listen to the queen's request. Yu Chiyan's tone was full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
Qin Huaiyuan naturally didn't care about the relationship between the royal father and son, so he just listened silently and didn't express his position.
Wei Chiyan said again: "Now that the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been returning to China for many days, there will be a reply in less than two days. I don't know what Emperor Zhou wants to continue to make trouble about. I only hope that my father can be tough and don't let down Sun Yuanming's hard work. ”
"The emperor is wise and martial, so naturally he will do that only after listening to the pleading of others."
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is sacred, no matter what he does wrong, it is not his fault, it must be burdened by others.
Yu Chiyan smiled helplessly, nodded and sighed, "Yes." ”
Qin Huaiyuan said slowly: "As for Yuan Ming, although he is resisting the decree, he has also used his flesh and blood to arouse the blood of the Great Yan people again. This is more shocking than the inscription of the year, Your Highness must remember this sentence, 'Misfortune is greater than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will lose a few treasures'......"
When Wei Chiyan heard this, he paused, "'Therefore, the resistance to the soldiers is added, and the mourner wins. These are the words of "Lao Tzu". ”
"Exactly." Qin Huaiyuan walked with his hands in his hands, "The truth that mourning soldiers will win is not out of thin air, Yuan Ming is so full of liver and brains, in order to die and Mingzhi, but also to boost our morale, if the emperor can use this matter to make more fuss and publicize his deeds, he will definitely be able to inspire the blood of Xi Huacheng's soldiers, and there may be a chance of winning a battle with Xiao Zhixi." ”
When Yu Chiyan heard this, he suddenly felt refreshed, and stroked his palms and said: "Taishi really calculates people, after you say, Yuan Ming may have calculated to this level before he goes, otherwise he would not have chosen such a strong method, I will talk to my father about this matter, presumably any man with a little blood will be inspired." ”
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and bowed his head, but what he thought in his heart was not as optimistic as the prince.
If the emperor really still has this heart, he will not be submissive to the envoys of the Great Zhou, and he will not talk about the emperor's style at all. The emperor is not only frightened by Da Zhou now, but also doesn't even think about the future.
You must know that Sun Yuanming was famous all over the world with a piece of paper, and if he didn't listen to a word, the emperor was scolded among the people, but Sun Yuanming was an image that stood up to the sky.
Such a heroic character with a strong backbone, but because of the emperor's mediocrity and cowardice, he sacrificed himself in order to contaminate the queen mother of the enemy country. How many people in the world are in an uproar and indignant, and how many soldiers and civilians are heartbroken?
Qin Huaiyuan didn't think that the doctor of the Great Zhou really prescribed a prescription to eat human brains this time, Emperor Zhou had always been scheming, and this time he was afraid that he did it deliberately in order to separate the Great Yan monarchs and ministers.
But when people dug a pit, the emperor jumped without hesitation, what can they do as courtiers?
Now that the courtiers see that the iron hooves of the Great Zhou have stepped on Xihua City, it can be said that everyone is in danger, for fear of breaking the city, and they are afraid that they will be the next to be sacrificed.
The prince and Qin Huaiyuan discussed how to talk back to the emperor, and after remembering everything Qin Huaiyuan said, he left happily.
Qin Huaiyuan looked at the prince's high-spirited back and shook his head.
The prince is a kind person, and his attainments in calligraphy and painting are also extremely profound, such a temperament, if he is the son of an ordinary rich and noble family, or the second son of a noble family, there is no pressure. It's a pity that he was born a prince.
Qin Huaiyuan had already expected that the emperor's words would not have much hope of listening.
But even if there is not much hope, you have to try your best, they don't dare to speak out as courtiers, but after all, the prince is the only successor of the emperor, and the emperor is angry, at most he will reprimand two sentences, at least he will not pull the prince out and behead him.
Qin Huaiyuan called Qitai: "You go and tell people, pay attention to the movements in the palace these days, what is the emperor's attitude after the prince and the emperor talk back." ”
Qitai nodded yes and quickly retreated.
Qin Huaiyuan returned to Xingning Garden.
In Xingning Garden.
Sun had just seen the doctor, and the doctor's diagnosis was the same as what the rock candy said, Qin Yining put his mind at ease, helped Sun to lie down and rest, and said: "Mother, don't be angry easily, your anger hurts your body, is it important for your own body or to be angry with others?" ”
Sun said dyingly: "I'm a clumsy person, and I never have the upper hand when it matters." Anyway, I'm chilled. ”
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, you are living with your father, not with others, as long as your father is willing to be sincere to you, then you will have it." Think about how much your father has helped in the Dingguo Mansion for the sake of his eldest cousin these days? My grandfather and grandmother are sick, and my fifth and eighth cousins have lost their minds for a while. Isn't my father willing to do this for the sake of you? ”
Hearing this, Sun Shi felt very comfortable in his heart, and there was a smile on his lips: "Are you serious? ”
"Nature is true." Qin Yining nodded seriously, took the bird's nest porridge brought by Mother Jin, and fed it to the Sun family while she was talking, and said in her mouth:
"My father and mother are young couples, and they have been in love for many years, have they experienced less ups and downs together? Although I have only been home for a short time, I can see that my father is very considerate and respectful to you. ”
Sun had just taken the medicine and had no appetite, but after listening to Qin Yining's words, he ate most of the bowl of bird's nest porridge, and even his face, which had been gloomy, gradually cleared up.
Mother Jin saw that she couldn't see her teeth and eyes when she smiled, and secretly thought that she still had to be intimate with her own mother in the end, and knew that she was thinking about her biological mother, so she also persuaded her: "What the fourth girl said is very true." Mrs. just got angry for a while and didn't think about it, in fact, isn't that what happened, Mrs. is living with the master, the master is willing to cherish you, where is it so important. ”
Sun nodded, the depression that had been held back for an afternoon was all gone, and he nodded the tip of Qin Yining's nose with a smile.
"It's strange that your grandmother said that you are a person who sees things clearly, isn't that exactly the case, let's go back together, your grandmother only hurts you and refuses to hurt me."
Qin Yining laughed: "Grandmother cherishes me so much because she loves you." If it weren't for you, what would I do? ”
Sun couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth and smiled, and his complexion returned to his usual appearance.
Qin Huaiyuan stood under the porch, listened to the conversation in the room clearly, his face flushed a little uncomfortably, thought about it, did not enter the house, turned around and went out.
Cai Tang and Cai Lan, who had just been ordered by Qin Huaiyuan not to make a sound, glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After Sun ate the porridge and rinsed her mouth, Qin Yining and Mother Jin waited for her to sleep.
Qin Huining was knocked out of a tooth by Qin Yining and thrown into the lotus pond in the back garden, which he only learned about the next day.
Listening to Jin's mother's objective description, Sun looked at himself in the bronze mirror and sighed for a long time.
"Sister Hui is a child in the end, you will open the warehouse later, choose two new rulers with new colors, and send new clothes to Sister Hui, and ask a good doctor to give Sister Hui a look, the weather is so cold, it is good for the little girl's family not to hurt at all."
"Yes." Mother Jin smiled, but secretly agreed with Miss Four's approach in her heart, and felt very happy.
Such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf is clearly a troublemaker, if she doesn't punish her, she may really grow into the root of the chaos, and only a powerful character like Miss Fourth can restrain her.
No matter how sick Qin Huining was sick when she contracted the cold, how distressed the old lady and the Sun family were.
On the day of the New Year, when everyone was jubilant, the prince was punished to kneel outside the imperial book for two hours, and fainted coldly, before being allowed by the emperor to carry him back to the East Palace and grounded.
The news soon spread throughout the government and the opposition.
Along with this news, there was also a letter from the Great Zhou Emperor Li Qitianxia.
I don't know how the Great Zhou Dynasty did it, the national letter was like an imperial list, and it was pasted on the streets and alleys of Kyoto City and nearby towns overnight, with bold words on it, angrily accusing the emperor of the Yan Dynasty for his ill intentions, as long as the personal brain \ pulp to the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty refused, there was no sincerity for peace at all, and he also threatened to step on the Great Yan and arrest the emperor to Ling Chi.
The people were afraid, angry, scolded the faint king, scolded the Great Zhou, and all kinds of statements were boiling.
When the emperor learned the news, his face turned pale with fright, and he first wrote a careful apology and ordered someone to send him to Da Zhou quickly.
After thinking about it carefully, he called General Manager Wang in: "Spread my will, summon Xi Hua's guards Sun Haiqian, Sun Haijing and their families into Beijing, and send General Wang Hui to Xi Hua to take over the position of guard." ”
