483 The ruthlessness of the River Queen
What the Jin Kingdom saw and heard, as well as the experience of visiting the Norsang tribe, Shen Yun told Yuan Yuan that three days and three nights were not enough. Although they can't be together all the time, as soon as Shen Yun came back, Xiang Yuan was full of energy, and told the story he heard here to his great-grandmother to the imperial grandmother, and he was chattering all day long, and everyone who looked at her was happy.
She wrote a thick pile of letters to Qin'er and sent them to the Jin Kingdom with a heavy load, and the Jin Kingdom had already passed the hottest season. After the marriage of the two countries, after many tosses, the capital finally calmed down for a while, and the princess of Daqi went to persuade the garrison to retire and favor the people, but it was rumored that it was divine.
Hugna didn't want these things to be circulated among the people, but from time to time someone would bring it up, and Concubine Li quietly said to the emperor that it must be Xiang Qin's own people who were building momentum for her.
Concubine Li's belly is gradually getting bigger, although there is no snowy winter in the Jin Kingdom, but it will be cool for a while at the end of the year, and Concubine Li's child will be born in that comfortable season, according to the imperial doctor of Daqi, that is, the prince.
And when Xiang Qin broke into the border, Meng Ge entered the palace and saw the queen twice, and the queen used the excuse that she cared about Meng Ge's body, but what she said was naturally something that outsiders were not allowed to listen to.
The Emperor asked her several times, and she said that she wanted to find an opportunity to put medicine in Meng'er's tea. Kugna will be suspicious, his wife is cowardly and incompetent in his eyes, and he can't imagine how much ability the River Queen can have, but now in order to keep her position, she should do these things that can please herself.
And it was precisely those two times that the Queen of the River told Meng Ge that if the seventh brother could help her keep the position of the middle palace, the forces of her mother's family would inevitably support Meng Ge, as long as the emperor had no heirs, he must choose a successor in the brother clan, the second prince's reckless pus is difficult to become a climate, the following are not as strong as Meng Ge, and Emperor Tianding married his daughter to Meng Ge, obviously he has a farther and greater purpose, but no matter how good his father-in-law is, the mountains and rivers are far away, Meng Ge also needs to rely on the local forces of the Jin Kingdom.
Meng Ge had already told Qin'er these words, but Qin'er said that she would be cold first, and when Concubine Li was about to give birth, the queen would be in a hurry.
The most difficult thing for Meng Ge is that the queen wants him to remove the child in Concubine Li's womb, no matter the prince and princess, he can't live.
Xiang Qin asked him: "You can't bear it." ”
Monger said frankly: "I can't bear it. ”
Qin'er shook her head: "I can't bear it, but I can't bear it, you can't, because you want to be the future emperor." The child in Concubine Li's womb is indeed innocent, but do you know how many innocent babies have died under your imperial brother's regime? On my way back to the capital, I passed through a bustling and lively town, where I heard a story about a man who raped his wife who was pregnant for seven months, and his wife had a miscarriage and died of blood loss. Daqi also has heinous bad people, but if a man dares to hurt his wife and concubine, even if his mother's family does not come to the door and makes a big fuss, he will never send a daughter to continue the string. In the Jin Kingdom, what is a woman? ”
Meng Ge said: "Do you really want to kill the child in Concubine Li's womb? ”
Qin'er said without hesitation: "If she gives birth to a prince, it will be the biggest obstacle to your accession to the throne in the future. ”
On this matter, they failed to reach a consensus, naturally Qin'er would not force Mengge, after all, it was just a matter of saying it at the moment, and no one knew whether it would be done or not in the future. But she hopes that her husband can do iron-fisted things with benevolence and virtue, and run a country, and it is most important for her to be soft-hearted. The best example of this is Hugna, who is mediocre and desolate, but his subjects have to obey him, because he is tyrannical and cruel, and he is enough to convince people in this uncivilized country.
As for Monge, he has been oppressed since he was a child, and it is a rare good thing that he has not become a tyrannical person and inflicts the pain he has endured on others, and Qin'er does not force him to become a person like his father immediately, and if he is not in a hurry, it is already good that Monge is willing to listen to her.
After that, Meng Ge took Xiang Qin with him and met the Queen of the River again, but halfway through Qin'er went to talk to Concubine Li, and the Queen of the River asked him: "Xiang Qin and Concubine Li are warm, will she tell Concubine Li what we said?" ”
Munger said, "I didn't tell her. ”
Although the river queen was relieved, she was inevitably a little disappointed, she knew very well in her heart that the person who could control all this was actually Xiang Qin.
But on this day, Meng Ge took the initiative to ask: "Has the imperial sister-in-law thought of a foolproof way to get rid of the child in Concubine Li's womb?" ”
Queen He's eyes showed a cold color, only because Concubine Li is now in power, she can't do it, when she still has the prince sitting firmly in the middle palace, how can there be so many women in the harem, how can she not give birth, even if she is a worthless concubine in the Jin Kingdom, Queen River does not want to have worries about herself. Why does Hugna have only one son, it is obvious that she has countless ways to achieve this goal, but now, the goal is too big and too single, and if Concubine Li makes a slight mistake, the emperor will inevitably point the finger at her.
"I want her to lose the baby in her womb with dignity." Queen He said, "I can't let the emperor blame me, otherwise Concubine Li and the child will die, and I won't be able to live, and I will not only have to live, but also live well." ”
This side, Concubine Li and Xiang Qin walked in the garden, although the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom is not as big as Daqi, but because of the different climate, the garden scenery has a unique style, Qin'er is very fond of it, looking at all kinds of flowers and plants with a smile, and her Jin dialect is also more "Lisuo" than when she first came, she can take a few words with Concubine Li, Concubine Li also deliberately learned a few sentences of broken Chinese in order to be able to talk to her, in the eyes of others, Concubine Li and the Seventh Princess are already like sisters.
But Concubine Li had long noticed that the Queen of the River was frequently close to Monge, and she had been coquettish in front of Hugna, but the emperor said that the empress wanted to get rid of Monge in order to please him, and she recommended herself to the emperor Mao Sui and asked her to get rid of Monge, but Hugna touched her belly and said, "It is enough to give me a son." ”
At this time, I saw Xiang Qin pick a flower, smiled and put it on her sideburns, and said, "Niangniang is so beautiful." ”
Concubine Li said: "Where can I catch you." ”
She has private words that she wants to tell Xiang Qin, but she is afraid that she will leak the secret through oral transmission, and tell Xiang Qin in blunt Chinese that she has something important to say, Xiang Qin reassures her, and the people around her are absolutely reliable, Concubine Li said after thinking twice: "I heard that the last time the Seventh Prince was poisoned, it was inseparable from the Middle Palace, these days she used the excuse of caring about the body of the Seventh Prince, but in fact she was trying to poison again, you must be careful." ”
Qin'er frowned and listened, and ordered someone to pass on the message heavily: "Whenever the prince sees the queen, he is always preoccupied, and he doesn't tell me a lot of things, and he suddenly asked me the day before if a child who is less than a month old can live." ”
After she finished speaking, she waited for the people around her to pass the word to Concubine Li, while staring at her stomach.
Concubine Li stood up, her heart tightened, and she gritted her teeth: "That poisonous woman." ”
But when she turned around, Concubine Li calmed down, how smart Xiang Qin was, how could she do such a stupid thing to sow discord, she couldn't be easily provoked, and then take action against the queen, in case someone was waiting for her in front of her, wouldn't she kill herself.
On the way home, Meng Ge said to Xiang Qin: "I have decided to give up the child in Concubine Li's womb, and in the future after becoming emperor, I will mourn this child and build a temple for him to worship incense, so that he can find an errand in the sky and become a god." ”
Qin'er smiled: "If I am that child, if I become a fairy, I will definitely not let you go, do you say you are stupid?" ”
Meng Ge said: "Since he can be an immortal, he must be benevolent, he will see the women in the land of Jin get a new life, this is his merit, why should he hate me?" ”
"Since the prince comforts himself so much, then I will also believe it, naturally whatever the prince of my family says, it is what it is." Xiang Qin smiled, "You have an idea, I'll follow you." ”
Meng Ge coughed dryly: "Don't tell my father that I am so hesitant, I am ashamed." Seeing that his wife agreed, he asked again, "Qin'er, will your royal family of Daqi open a gambling game?" ”
Xiang Qin shook his head: "High-ranking officials of the royal family are not allowed to be involved in gambling, and private gambling houses are also registered in the household department, and they cannot be set up privately, and if high-ranking officials of the royal family are involved, they will be demoted to commoners, and they will be beheaded at worst, which is a very serious crime." In the later period of the Zhao Kingdom, prostitution and gambling were rampant, which was a disaster for the country's demise. ”
Meng Ge sighed: "The royal family of the Jin Kingdom can open a gambling game, and can bet on anything, including people, including wives and daughters." The imperial brother once lost his concubines to the ministers and to the second imperial brother, of course, those women were just playthings to him. ”
"What's wrong?" Xiang Qin felt that her husband meant something, "Why did you suddenly bring up this topic." ”
Meng Ge said: "The day after tomorrow, the emperor will set up a gambling game in the main hall, and everyone in the royal family will participate, and in the end, it will definitely not only gamble on gold and silver." ”
Qin'er asked, "You also want to go to the appointment?" ”
Meng Ge said: "Can you convince Concubine Li to participate in the gambling game together, the queen said that she will participate." ”
The River Queen hopes that Concubine Li and the child in her womb can die in front of everyone, so that Kugna will not be angry with her, and the gamble of the day after tomorrow is a good opportunity, she hopes to end Concubine Li's arrogance there. Qin'er couldn't imagine what the queen had to do to make Concubine Li kill herself, what surprised her was that she was too self-righteous, Queen He's cowardice and mediocrity were just the appearance, she could survive for so long by such a tyrannical and impermanent faint monarch, she naturally had her ability.
Qin'er reflected on her own pride, and mentioned this incident in a letter to the queen mother, she didn't know what would happen on the day of the gamble, maybe she would see the darkest side of the Jin Kingdom, she hoped that when the queen mother set foot in this land in the future, it had become a clear world.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the emperor set up a gambling game, Xiang Qin followed Meng Ge into the palace, the imperial city was lively and lively, like a festival, it was rare to see men and women in the main hall together, but Meng Ge told her that many women here were just here to make chips and bets, and those who stood there and sat there were not "people".
The emperor has arrived, Concubine Li has also arrived, and Queen He, in Qin'er's eyes, the woman is still cowardly and timid, and there is no light.
