Chapter 155: A Woman's Scheming
Ji Gongyan led 2,000 men and horses to set off from the capital of Ho.
These two thousand men and horses can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the armies of Qi and Chu. But a thousand troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, he brought out of the city of two thousand soldiers and horses are his own name one by one named generals, once deep into the three armies of Qi, Chu and Zheng, can immediately command all the way to fight with Dongyi.
Manchu officials poured out of the nest, in the east gate of the pickaxe capital to see off Ji Gongyan's army, this move shocked the people of the country, for Ji Gongyan to do and convinced, the national disaster at the head, he can personally lead the troops to the battle, a change of incompetence; He also ordered Yu Shi's father to prohibit the sacrifice of beauties from all over the country, and changed his attitude of obscenity; appeased Qin and Zheng Erguo, and allowed women who were unwilling to enter Beijing to leave the palace, changing their tyrannical attitude.
All of a sudden, the people's hearts were wanted.
This road is mighty, and the people of the whole city also poured out, crowded at the east gate to see off Ji Gongyan, and the Ji Gongyan who was rumored to be like a ghost and a demon is now admired by all the people. This feeling made him quite useful, and it invisibly added a lot to the morale of this expedition, and the only regret was that this long send-off team did not see the figure he expected.
He could imagine her stubbornly facing away from him, and he couldn't help but smile on her face.
Bao Xi lived deep in the harem, did not go out of the city with the officials of the court, and at the same time forbade any women in the harem to go to the east gate. Mrs. Wei sat opposite Shenhou, peeling the citrus from the Chu State tribute, and chatting with Shenhou on the other hand, "This Baoxi's heart is really small, where can it be compared with Niangniang?" I don't know what this king thinks, he will ban the mother's feet! ”
"What's going on again?" Shen Hou asked.
"Hey, what else can there be?" Mrs. Wei shook her head and threw the citrus petals into her mouth, the sweet and sour taste filled her taste buds, her mouth was full of saliva, and her speech was slurred, "Isn't it just holding chicken feathers as an arrow!" Today, the king led the army east to fight the enemy, and she issued an injunction not allowing us harem women to see us off. The ladies and concubines of our rooms went to intercede, hoping that she would take back her life, but she blocked them all! ”
"There's nothing to blame for this, it's right to do this, men fight, you women just cry there, and letting you go is just adding to the chaos." Shen Hou said.
"How can a mother talk like that? Don't we care about the king too? I don't know when I will come back to Dongyi! Mrs. Wei said, lowered her voice and looked left and right, "Before the king left, he had been in the Qiongtai Palace, and I didn't know what kind of ability this Bao Xi had to charm the king so much. Now that the king is not in the palace, if she wants to get rid of all of us, I am afraid that it is not a difficult matter, and the king also ordered before leaving, if you don't want to stay in the palace, the woman will register and leave, and there will be a reward, so that she has a serious excuse to kick us all out! ”
"Enough!" Empress Shen stood up, "If it's messy enough today, don't add fuel to the fire!" You also look at yourself, as a lady of a house, what is the difference between what you do in a day and those jealous concubines and girls! ”
Mrs. Wei pursed her lips, "I didn't say this for myself, I'm just a lady who has never been favored, but Niangniang is different, you are the queen of a dynasty, I am afraid of this compli......ment" Mrs. Wei paused, and swallowed the second half of the sentence "I can't tolerate you" raw, and Empress Shen's face was ugly enough.
"As a lady, whenever the king is not in the palace, you should lead your own concubines and maidens to help deal with the affairs of the harem, instead of being suspicious here!" Empress Shen scolded, turning her face away, her face was extremely serious, "You go back first, there is no need to come to the East Palace for anything important in the future!" ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Wei stomped her feet, and her temper was written on her face. The matter of letting the harem woman leave has the greatest impact on her room, because Mrs. Wei is not favored, and everyone knows that there is no future with Mrs. Wei, so if everyone is allowed to leave the harem at this moment, then there is no doubt that her room must have suffered the most losses. Mrs. Wei kicked out of the East Palace with her own steps, and the person in front led the way, and she went to the Youyang Palace again.
"How?" Madame Qin looked at Madame Wei and asked, as if she had been waiting for her to come all morning.
"Alas......" Lady Wei sighed, "I don't know what kind of soup this compliment poured into the king and the mother, and it can make the two of them so fascinated now!" Now my mother can't even listen to me......"
"I guessed it a long time ago!" Mrs. Qin played with the teacup in her hand and stared at the tea inside.
"So, what should I do?" Mrs. Wei looked at Mrs. Qin and asked, Mrs. Qin thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's wait and see what happens!" ”
"I can't watch it, your room is fine, but there are too many people leaving my room!" Mrs. Wei stomped her feet on the spot in a hurry, and Bao Xi's actions could be said to be vigorous and resolute, if this matter was such a stalemate between Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Wei and Empress Shen, and they didn't make any plans, everyone felt that Bao Xi could make their room fall apart at any time.
"Isn't that just right?" Madam Qin looked at Madam Wei and said, a sneer on her face.
"What's the right way?" Mrs. Wei was a little anxious.
"Just happened to sue Bao Xi, saying that she obstructed the order of the harem, lured the harem women with demonic words, and deprived the rights of the lady." Mrs. Qin had a plan and said to Mrs. Wei, originally Bao Xi was not treated well by the court, but she did a good job in this matter, if she did not do it well, it would inevitably trigger the rebuke of the entire government and the opposition, and she wanted to give Bao Xi a false accusation, but I am afraid it couldn't be simpler.
"But now the entire court is the one who Uncle Zhao has the final say, that is, his niece has done something excessive, as long as he mediates among the ministers, he can settle the matter!" Mrs. Wei said anxiously, suddenly feeling that she was really stuck in a quagmire now, completely letting others eat her own flesh.
"Having said that, isn't there still a father of the stone?" Mrs. Qin asked.
"Father Yushi?" Mrs. Wei repeated these three words and shook her head, "This Father Shi has always been partial to Bao Xi, how can he help us speak in turn?" ”
"He's just favoring interests!" Mrs. Qin repeated, now is the best time to separate Father Yu Shi and Bao Xi, once Bao Xi takes power, then there will be no position for Father Yu Shi in the middle of the court, and he himself weighs clearly which is more important. It's just that this father Yu Shi has always been cunning and cunning, and he loves money like his life, but he is afraid that he will easily refuse to help the remaining ladies of the harem, so he has to gain insight into one or two before making a plan, Mrs. Qin looked at Mrs. Wei, "Mrs. Wei might as well take a trip to Shangqing's Mansion and ask Yu Shangqing about the pros and cons?" ”
"Hmph...... I'm not going! Madame Wei stood up and looked at Madame Qin, "You want to send me everywhere, and you sit here and enjoy it yourself, do I seem to be so poor?" Mrs. Qin's predicament can be found by herself, but my affairs are not to be worried about Mrs. Qin! ”
"You've figured it out?" Mrs. Qin asked.
"I figured it out, Lai Hao is messing around in the palace every day, and there are so many people, but there are too many things!" Mrs. Wei sneered and withdrew from Youyang Palace, being mentioned by Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Wei also found that there was no need to hang herself on the tree of Mrs. Qin, and she had never offended Bao Xi head-on, so why not just ask Bao Xi for mercy?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei hurriedly ran to the Qiongtai Palace, Bao Xi was dealing with the registration of the harem woman leaving the palace, and there were more people than she thought, which made people very embarrassed. Once there are too many women leaving the palace, it will definitely leak out the things in the palace, and the impact on the king will become worse, so even if Ji Gongyan allows this cadre to leave, Bao Xi must not let them go.
"Niangniang," the female royal who had just come in had a very small voice, looking at Bao Xi's very shy salute, Bao Xi raised her hand, "In this harem, the number of etiquette is exempt, sit." She pointed to the chair in front of her, the maid sat down, looked at Bao Xi, opened her mouth several times, wanted to speak and stopped, she seemed embarrassed to explain the purpose of her coming here, Bao Xi smiled lightly, "But you want to resign?" ”
"Yes," the female royal voice was weak, looking at Bao Xi's expression was very frightened, and the whole person couldn't calm down, "I was forced to come to this palace by Yu Shangqing, and the king has never been favored for so many years, but now the opportunity is rare, please let Xiaohui leave the palace." After she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground with a "bang", and kowtowed three times to Bao Xi, "Niangniang is very kind, Xiaohui will never forget!" ”
"Don't worry," Bao Xi waved her hand, "you tell me first, what do you want to do when you go home?" ”
Xiao Hui cried and sobbed, looking at Bao Xi wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, Bao Xi helped her up who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Xiuxiu to pour Xiao Hui a glass of water, she comforted, "Everyone is unwilling to enter this palace, but they are all here, and they can only be content with the destiny of heaven. ”
"Don't hide it from Niangniang," Xiao Hui's eyes were red, "I had a childhood sweetheart marriage contract before I entered the palace, but unfortunately ......" she said with tears flowing out, "I was pulled into the palace before I got married, and now I finally have a chance to leave, Xiao Hui wants to go home and get married." ”
Bao Xi looked at Xiao Hui and was silent for a long time, sighed, raised her head to look at Xiuxiu and ordered, "Go and get some coins." ”
"Yes, sissy." Xiuxiu nodded, Xiuxiu saw a lot of this situation in the morning, Bao Xi spent a morning dealing with more than 20 people, and in the end no one left, Ji Gongyan and Bao Xi's pair is simply perfect, no wonder Mrs. Zheng can't see King Zhou until she dies, Xiuxiu shook her head and went to the back hall to withdraw the coins.
"Have you figured it out?" Bao Xi looked at Xiao Hui and asked.
"Hmm!" Xiao Hui nodded, her eyes solemn.
"What will you do if this man refuses to marry you?" Bao Xi asked, obviously Xiao Hui had never thought about this matter, she raised her eyes to look at Bao Xi, and there was infinite doubt in her eyes, "Why is it ...... refuses to marry me, but there is a marriage contract between us, and I am childhood sweethearts with him, he ...... It shouldn't be! ”
"It's good to have a marriage contract, but now you're in the palace." Bao Xi said.
