Chapter 068: Tacit
Chapter 068 tacitly
Many years later, Wang Qifang learned that she had misunderstood her father-in-law.
The reason is too simple, although the little father-in-law who passed the decree is not of high rank, but he is also from the palace, how can he be as mouthy as an ignorant long-tongued woman?
You must know that the subordinates of ordinary big families are still worthy of caution in their words and deeds, not to mention the little eunuchs in the inner palace who live in such a complicated battle.
If no one specifically ordered it, even if he lent his little father-in-law ten guts, he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.
And this person who ordered the little father-in-law was none other than Emperor Longqing, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Wang Qifang also had doubts about this, she knew that Emperor Longqing was very rare in the herbs she paid tribute to.
Isn't Emperor Kolongqing's illness cured, why do you still care for her so much?
even didn't hesitate to borrow the mouth of a little father-in-law to help her, but the biggest trouble.
Later, it was Li Jingtian who told her the answer-
It turned out that after Zhou Taizu seized Li Tang's country, in order to suppress Li Tang's ancestors, he issued a series of decrees in response to the legend of Li Tang's self-proclaimed 'Lao Tzu' descendants to suppress Taoism and support Buddhism.
But this does not mean that the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty all believed in Buddhism.
At least this Emperor Longqing is a complete Taoist believer in his bones.
It is not difficult to understand that Buddhism pays attention to the 'cycle of cause and effect' and 'becoming a Buddha on the ground', which is not very tempting for the Son of Heaven who has become a master.
Taoism, on the other hand, preaches 'becoming immortals' and 'immortality', which is too attractive to the emperor.
Just ask, when a person's rights reach the top, who doesn't want to get a higher level of enjoyment, such as immortality?
Emperor Qin and Han Wu, don't you also want to get the elixir of life, not to mention the ordinary emperor Longqing Emperor, who is not as good as these Ming monarchs?
As early as ten years ago, Emperor Longqing secretly found a monk and secretly developed an elixir for him.
Unfortunately, according to the alchemist, due to the lack of many rare medicinal materials on his ancient prescription, the elixir refining had not been very successful.
Until a few days ago, Emperor Longqing got the herbs offered by Wang Qifang from his sister, and after repeated examinations and determinations by the Tai Hospital, Emperor Longqing took one of the humanoid He Shou Wu.
Not to mention it, the medicinal effect is better than the herbs that came up from the tribute below, and with the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, Emperor Longqing only took three or four pairs of medicines, and the old disease that had plagued him for more than ten years actually recovered.
With such miraculous effects, Emperor Longqing also had other ideas about these herbs - hmm, these herbs are so magical, can they be used to refine elixirs?
Thinking of doing it, Emperor Longqing had been obsessed with the elixir for ten years, so naturally he didn't want to delay at all, so he immediately took the Tianshan Snow Lotus to show Fang Shi.
As a result, when the alchemist saw this snow lotus, he shouted for a rare good material in the world, and said bluntly that if there were herbs of the same grade, he would definitely be able to refine the elixir.
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the humanoid He Shou Wu and Yeshan ginseng offered by Wang Qifang, and let the Fang Shi try alchemy.
Fang Shi really used these three herbs, plus some of the precious medicinal herbs he had collected, to refine a few pills.
Whether he can live forever or not, Emperor Longqing can't verify it yet.
However, after eating this newly refined elixir, he obviously felt that his body was much more relaxed, and even Concubine Ai praised him, saying that he saw that the emperor was much younger.
What's more, Emperor Longqing was pleasantly surprised to find that the originally gray temples began to appear black hair again.
Isn't gray hair turning black a sign of rejuvenation?
With this discovery, Emperor Longqing was simply excited, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded the party without hesitation.
Perhaps seeing that his ten years of 'hard work' finally had an effect, the tight string in Fang Shi's heart finally relaxed.
Proudly, he even boasted unceremoniously - if the medicinal materials on the ancient recipe can be gathered, the elixir will soon be refined.
Of course, if you really can't find those precious herbs, you can replace them with similar ones.
For example, these presented by Wang Qifang are very good raw materials.
Hearing this, Emperor Longqing really paid attention to Wang Qifang.
First of all, he sent someone to secretly investigate the source of Wang Qifang's herbs. After an unannounced visit by the internal guards, Wang Qifang's Zhuangzi in Lingxian County was completely exposed to Emperor Longqing's eyes.
Emperor Longqing did not understand agriculture, but he also knew some common sense issues, such as some medicinal materials that the internal guards took back from Wang Qifang's Zhuangzi were simply not able to grow in this climate in Guannai.
However, when the alchemist saw it, he did not express his doubts, but shouted that the quality was excellent.
Moreover, Fang Shi also secretly met Wang Qifang and counted hexagrams, and after some calculations, he told Emperor Longqing with a solemn face, saying that this female benefactor had a strange life, not like a mortal, but a noble person who refined the elixir.
Then, the third princess also ran to Emperor Longqing, first counted Wang Qifang's contribution to the court, and then mentioned Wang Qifang's current situation to Emperor Longqing with a sad face, and finally asked the emperor if he could reward her.
Bounty?
It's definitely sealed
Since the old immortals all said that Wang Qifang was the noble person who refined the elixir for him, how could Emperor Longqing not help the nobleman?
Besides, the third princess easily didn't ask him, and this sister made such a great contribution from the northwest, for the sake of the balance of the major forces in the court, he couldn't reward the third sister in a big way, and he already felt that the third princess was at a loss.
It just so happened that the object of the third princess's invitation was no one else, it was Wang Qifang, who held the elixir, and Emperor Longqing had no reason to refuse.
So, in front of the three princesses, Emperor Longqing waved his hand very generously and named Wang Qifang as a loyal lady.
The matter of the seal is easy to solve, but the difficult matter of Wang Qifang vaguely mentioned by the third princess, Emperor Longqing is not easy to interfere with.
After all, this is a courtier's family matter, no matter how powerful the emperor is, it is not good to meddle in the affairs of other people's inner courtyards at will, he is a dignified son of Zhou, and he can't make an order for Zhao Yongnian to hand over his grandson to Heli's daughter-in-law to raise.
However, the Chinese people know how to be flexible.
Well, you can't make a clear order, so it's okay to imply it.
You must know that the words that come out of the mouth of the little eunuch can be understood in two ways:
First, to put it mildly, the little eunuch is an angel, he represents the Son of Heaven, and what he says is the oracle of the Son of Heaven, how can Zhao Yongnian, as a courtier, not listen?
Second, to put it mildly, the words of the little father-in-law came from 'hearsay' after all, and these words were not mentioned in the holy decree. If there is a royal history to participate, Emperor Longqing can completely deny it.
But no matter which idea Emperor Longqing played, at least it had a tangible effect.
Zhao Yongnian believed it
Hiss~~, what does this mean?
Zhao Yongnian had a gloomy face, and looked thoughtfully at Wang Qifang and his little father-in-law greetings.
In his mind, he kept analyzing every word that the little father-in-law 'heard'.
It's just that he analyzed and analyzed, and only came to one conclusion, that is, Jinshang actually knew a trivial matter in his house, and he also expressed his opinion on this trivial matter.
Listen, first the crown princess brought out a grandma, and then the queen followed and said that grandma grandma should raise the mother.
This is clearly a hint that these two current and future mothers of the country 'hope' that Yuan Niang will follow Grandma Sun to learn the rules well, and others will not interrupt the children's learning opportunities.
Who is Grandma Sun, she is a nurturing grandmother hired by Wang Qifang, although she did not sign any deed of sale with Wang Qifang, but she must have been fed by others, and she is definitely Wang Qifang's confidant.
Following Mama Sun, it soon means following Wang Qifang?
Compared with the hints of the two mothers of the country, what really scared Zhao Yongnian was his big boss's 'message' today.
What is it said today, 'Enlighten Xiao Langjun also makes'.
Who is Xiao Langjun, not a little new brother?
It seems that Wang Qifang really hugged the big tree this time, and he could make the emperor say such an obvious word of protection.
Although there is no direct decree to let Wang Qifang raise three children, with such an edict, he, as a courtier, cannot help but obey.
"Master Zhao, there is an oracle today, let the three of Xiaoxin's brothers and sisters learn from Grandma Sun, you see-"
Wang Qifang's mood at the moment was really hilarious, and after she respectfully sent off her little father-in-law and the two princesses, she came to Zhao Yongnian with a smile and asked loudly.
"Hehe, since, since there is an oracle today, then, then do what you want," Zhao Yongnian smiled bitterly and said, "I'll ask my wife to invite Grandma Sun later...... If Mama Sun really doesn't want to come to Zhao Mansion, then it's the same with Qi Niang. ”
"Okay, then Qi Niang will leave"
Everyone is a smart person, and some things are tacit to each other, so there is no need to make it clear.
After tossing for most of the day, I finally got things done.
Holding the freshly baked book of releasing his wife, Wang Qifang was completely relaxed at the moment, she stood outside the gate of Zhao's mansion, feeling that she and her children were finally liberated.
"Qi Niang, your current situation is a little bad."
Back in Ping'anfang, Mrs. Li and Wang Jinyu were not in a hurry to go home, but came to Wang Qifang's courtyard with a solemn face.
"My aunt is right, I know that you brought the third princess and the ninth princess in order to reconcile with Zhao Tianqing, but judging from the current situation, this matter is a bit of a big trouble."
Wang Jinyu also heard the 'heard' of the little father-in-law, and his concerns were different from those of Zhao Yongnian and Wang Qifang, and the focus of his consideration was naturally different.
"Well, I know, this time not only attracted the attention of Concubine Zheng, but even the crown princess was also concerned,"
can easily say the name of a nurturing grandmother in Wang Qifang's mansion, what does this mean, it means that his every move is under the control of these nobles.
"These two families are not easy to mess with," although Mrs. Li does not understand officialdom, but she understands the communication of the ladies in the capital, you must know that these official wives and relatives of the emperor are also factional, "Now Qi Niang is standing in the middle of the two major factions, and she ......is a little careless."
Shaking her head helplessly, Mrs. Li looked at Wang Jinyu and said, "Now that the matter with the Zhao family is over, it's better to-"
"Why don't you hide out of Beijing?"
"Why don't you leave Beijing and relax?"
Wang Jinyu and Wang Qifang said almost in unison
