Chapter 7, Section 8 The Prince of the Swineherd (1)
In fact, the king of Qi is not suitable for political struggle, he is as quiet as a crescent moon and gentle as a place. Compared to the swagger of other political upstarts, his performance is not significantly different from when he was in the opposition.
As for the burial of Mrs. Li, I haven't heard anything of him. Jia Quan made a fuss alone for a while, but he didn't make any noise, and the matter ended up like that. Poor Mrs. Li, even the most basic burial has become a luxury.
Jia Quan might have wanted to use the influence of the King of Qi in the dynasty to achieve this. If King Qi doesn't stand up for her, what strength can she have to fight against me?
King Qi's performance in this matter was a twofold blow to Jia Quan.
First of all, it made it impossible for her to fulfill her mother's last wish, which will become her biggest regret in this life;
Secondly, if King Qi doesn't help her, it is tantamount to helping me in disguise. This is also something she can't stand anymore.
For many years, she had treated me as her first imaginary enemy, competing with me in everything, and my pain was her joy. Vice versa.
However, they should not have a bad relationship between their husband and wife because of this incident. No matter how dissatisfied Jia Quan was in his heart, he didn't dare to openly break with King Qi. Last time, King Qi left her alone in front of all the guests, and the panic she showed in an instant was enough to explain the problem.
Actually, I don't want to see her husband and wife turn against each other. Now, many years later, the heartache that King Qi has brought to me has subsided, and now, I only want them to be happyβjust as happy as I am with the emperor.
I don't know whether King Qi is happy or not, I only know the image he shows in the eyes of outsiders, especially as an auxiliary minister, in the eyes of the people of the whole country.
Once again I have to admit that it was almost perfect ββ, computer station updated the fastest. Because he's silent enough. Indifferent enough, independent enough.
The king of Qi was indifferent and did not care about the prosperity and decay of the world. Others are not so trouble-free. It didn't take long for the contradictions of the upstarts of the imperial court to be revealed.
I was surprised. Rather than being rivals, Wei and Sima Liang, the king of Runan, were reconciled, at least superficially, and formed a temporary offensive and defensive alliance against their common enemy, Sima Wei, king of Chu.
As time passed, the struggle between them and the king of Chu intensified. Both sides are hell-bent on bringing down the other.
Wei and Sima Liang wanted to get rid of Sima Weidi's military power, expel him and return to the country, and seize all the leadership of the forbidden army in the hands of Sima Xuan. Sima Wei tried his best to consolidate his power, hoping to expel Wei and Sima Liang's father one day, so that he could dominate the capital. I don't know what guidance Sima Wei got from a master, and finally came to me, wanting to use my power to deal with Liang and others.
And the person he found to explore the way was Liang Jingren.
When someone outside the palace gate informed Liang Jingren that he wanted to see him, I almost happily greeted him. Count it up. I haven't seen him for more than a year.
Not long after Liang Jingren sat down, he took out a huge earth night pearl to offer to me. I honestly and unceremoniously took the night pearl and asked, "Why did you suddenly stammer me so much?" Tell me, what bad things have you done. Send such a heavy gift and ask me to save you? β
He smiled and said, "No, am I that kind of person?" I'm the most law-abiding. β
I turned the pearl of the night and said, "Nothing to do." Either traitor or theft. Are you the one who gave such a big gift for no reason? I want to donate some rice for you. The emperor and I have come to the door in person several times, and you still put up a stinky rack, and you love to ignore it. I had to go to the brothel to find you and perform a full martial arts in person before you agreed. β
He said with an embarrassed face, "Don't keep mentioning the troubles of the past." Besides, this night pearl is not mine, it was entrusted to me by His Royal Highness the King of Chu to give it to Niangniang. β
I asked quietly, "When did you fall in love with King Chu?" I remember that at that time in Jingzhou, you didn't seem to have any contact with him. β
He said, "I didn't have much contact before, but after I came to the capital, because of the friendship of my fellow villagers, we drank together a few times. His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that I had a close personal relationship with Niangniang, so he specially asked me to greet Niangniang. I hope Niangniang can forgive him for his foolish behavior that day. He said that he was also fooled by Mrs. Wei's female bachelor, and later came to his senses and regretted it very much. β
Before I could speak, a voice at the door said, "Who has a close relationship with whom?" β
Liang Jingren and I quickly stood up. I blushed and said, "Well, Liang Aiqing is saying, concubine...... and the emperor...... Close personal relationship. β
Isn't that nonsense?
The emperor laughed and said, "Liang Aiqing is really a discerning person, even this can be seen, it's not simple." β
Liang Jingren almost choked to death with his own saliva, "Thank you...... The emperor praises! β
I tried to cover my mouth so that I couldn't laugh out loud.
Xiao Cui couldn't help but smile and went up to the emperor to sit down and offer tea, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you come back so early today?" β
The emperor said, "I knew that Liang Aiqing was coming, so I deliberately rushed back in advance." β
Liang Jingren became more and more restrained and uneasy. Even I was secretly surprised that the emperor was talking weirdly today? Although Liang Jingren can be regarded as our old friend, the emperor is not approachable to this extent, and he only speaks witty words to make his subordinates happy.
The emperor will become like this, something must have happened.
So I gave Liang Jingren a look, and he immediately bowed and retired.
The pearl of the night, naturally, is disrespectful.
I will definitely take the land for such a gift, I want to see what tricks Sima Wei wants to play. After Liang Jingren left, I accompanied the emperor into the inner room, personally changed his clothes, and asked, "What unpleasant things did the emperor encounter today?" β
The emperor said with a gloomy face, "Today, Gonggong Zhang quietly told me, son, son, ......?" β
Unexpectedly, as soon as I asked, the emperor was actually full of shame, and he couldn't come up with a reason for a long time. It seemed that what he was about to say was something that was hard to say. I had to use the excuse of letting Xiaocui and the others prepare a snack, which attracted Zhang Hong to ask.
Zhang Hong also turned his eyes around, and the degree of difficulty was the same as that of the emperor.
I stretched out my hand and waved everyone away, and Zhang Hongcai whispered back in his ear, "His Royal Highness the King of Guangling secretly built a pigsty in the East Palace, raised it himself every day, and named the pig Ah Da, Ah Er, Sansan, and Xiao Si...... It's like the pig was his child. He also urged people to bathe the pigs every day and rub incense powder to make the pigs fragrant. His Royal Highness King Guangling's favorite little flower pig, nicknamed Huahua, even slept with him in a bed. When the emperor heard about it, he almost went crazy. β
The poor emperor, the only one, is a pig farmer.
