275 Xijiang plague
Mrs. Shui leaned on the couch, she had long lost her previous calmness, her face was full of tears, "This, what kind of thing did you stab your aunt out!" Mrs. Shui howled twice, her eyes were sharp: "It must be Duan Rufang! I actually underestimated that woman!"
"Grandmother, let's think about how to keep the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and my aunt's position as the general's wife!" Shui Mosheng couldn't help but interrupt Mrs. Shui: "Don't think about anything unrealistic now!" The person who played the performance is Yin Gushen of Jingzhao Mansion, who has always thought that the official is honest and honest all these years, even if Duan Rufang asked him to play, then what can it be, if this matter is fake, how can there be the current thing!"
The more Shui Mosheng spoke, the more angry he became: "Now not only is my official position about to be taken away, but even the small forces that we have planted in the court over the years have been affected, and the emperor clearly wants to use this excuse to weaken our forces! If my grandfather and father and uncle don't come back, I'm afraid our Prime Minister's Mansion will go to the general trend!"
Mrs. Shui wiped her tears and said: "How can you come back now, your father and they went to Jiangxi to deal with the flood, how to prevent this natural disaster......? How can this be in time!"
In fact, the initial intention of the Shui family was to hoard troops in Jiangxi, so basically all the men of the Shui family went there. I thought that there was nothing to prevent floods, just need to provide disaster relief along the road, who knew that the earthen dams built by the imperial court in order to prevent floods in recent years have become more and more unable to hold, and the prime minister's father and son had to stay in Jiangxi.
For three years, the flood in Jiangxi has not improved at all, and the prime minister was invited to come at the beginning, how can he return in vain, and now because of the bad things of the flood, the prime minister's family does not even have time to train the troops, it can be said that it is completely miscalculated, although the dam has not been repaired well, and the flood has also occurred year after year, but the number of dead and injured is getting smaller and smaller, and the victims are also much less, and it is still a little better, so that the prime minister is not so ugly.
After a long time, the emperor no longer mentioned the flood in Jiangxi, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor deliberately let the prime minister and his father and son stay in Jiangxi, so that the remaining people in the prime minister's mansion could find a handle and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the prime minister's mansion before the prime minister returned.
But until before, he couldn't find a place to take advantage of the void, Shui Mosheng was not like his parents and grandparents, he was still diligent in doing things in the court, and the emperor couldn't find a place to ask for guilt, so he was very anxious, but he didn't expect to finally find a breakthrough now.
Although Shui's behavior was not enough for him to bring down the big tree blocking the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was enough to completely ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion among the people, and the reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion was difficult to bring down was the military power of the Prime Minister's family, and the second was the reputation of the Prime Minister's expedition in the early years.
These two need to be destroyed slowly, so that this big tree can be cut down and their Xiao royal family can be revitalized, so that his son who will ascend the throne in the future will no longer have to be bound by the Prime Minister's Mansion, the emperor thought so, and felt that he still needed to thank Duan Rufang.
Gu Shen's recital was everywhere in the capital that spread a few hours later, Duan Rubian was feeding the parrot sent by the Congrong Mansion for many years, Duan Qingxuan hurriedly broke in from outside the courtyard, "Sister, do you know that something big happened outside." ”
Qingtian and Qinghe were not there, and no one stopped him, Duan Qingxuan rushed to Duan Rujian excitedly: "Sister, you know, the Shui clan is going to be unlucky this time." Last time, she designed to frame her sister and Aunt Song, but Master Gu played it to the emperor, and the emperor was furious and said that he would hold the Shui family accountable. ”
Duan Ru's long eyelashes narrowed slightly, and he put down the small porcelain plate in his hand, "That's it?"
Duan Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, "This can't make my sister happy?" Sister knows, the emperor said that as long as the matter of the performance is true, he will repair the book to Duan Lin Xiu at the border, and ask him if he wants to divorce his wife. ”
"Duan Lin Xiu will definitely not divorce her. Duan Rubian looked at Duan Qingxuan with a smile, "This matter is not as simple as you think, the emperor intends to use the matter of the Shui clan to weaken the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but where is this so simple, the royal military power is now either in the Murong family, or in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the emperor's own military power is very small, even if the emperor wants to weaken the Prime Minister's Mansion, he must first take back the military power, as long as the military power is still in the hands of the Prime Minister for a day, the Prime Minister's Mansion will still have a chance to resurrect." ”
Duan Ru's eyes were slightly cold: "Duan Linxiu is such a shrewd person, how could he offend the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time." Compared with the power and his dying mother, what can that family affection be. After all, this wife can't get a break. ”
Duan Qingxuan listened to Duan Rubian's words, and the excitement in his body relaxed a lot, and he sighed: "It's that I think it's too simple. ”
Duan Rubian looked at Duan Qingxuan, and was also extremely pleased, and said to him: "You don't need to know these things. Duan Lin Xiu and the Shui clan owe us two sisters and brothers, and I will definitely get them back. ”
Duan Qingxuan's eyes darkened slightly, "I didn't do anything for you and my mother." ”
"As long as the Xia Mansion is built, my mother will be under the Nine Springs, and she will definitely be blind. Duan Rubian felt a little sentimental, as a woman, she was not as good as Duan Qingxuan to be able to make contributions, their sister and brother did not need to compare with each other, she killed the Shui family and Duan Ruhua, avenged the dead Xia family and herself and Duan Qingxuan in her previous life, Duan Qingxuan was able to build a mansion to revive the past glory of the Xia family, the two did not need to compare who did better.
Duan Qingxuan nodded.
The two of them got along well, but on the Shui side, Mama Yan couldn't hide it.
Now the entire Duan Mansion is spreading the news that the Shui clan may be abandoned by Duan Lin Xiu, but after the big blood change in this mansion, all of them are Duan Rufang's people, and they can't hear what Mama Yan says to them, Mama Yan can't, so she has to detain the Shui clan and not let her go out of the courtyard.
Shui Shi rested in the room for several days, how could he live idlely, and he was about to go out for a walk today, but he was stopped by Mama Yan.
"Madam, it's windy outside, your body is not well yet, let's rest in the house!" Mama Yan saw her walk out, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her to lead her back to the house, Shui frowned and shook her off, "Let go! What's the matter, Mrs. Ben will also see the face of a slave of you when she goes out now!"
The more Shui thought about it, the more wrong it became, "You say, you don't let me go out these days, but I was instructed by Duan Rufang? Is it that she won't let Mrs. Ben out, and plans to lock Mrs. Ben in this courtyard, let me tell you, you don't think-"
Shui Shi said as he pushed aside Mama Yan, and walked out of the door aggressively, wanting to go to Loulan Pavilion to find Duan Ruflaw's theory.
Shui had only walked a few steps before he heard two strange maids chewing on the root of their tongues on the path not far away.
"Even the emperor knows about the eldest lady this time, I'm afraid the lord won't continue to keep the eldest lady. ”
"It's possible, after all, I heard that the old lady is a filial person, and the eldest lady did such a thing when the old lady was sick, and the old lady may not be able to keep the eldest lady. Another maid took a stubble and said with emotion: "Alas, the eldest lady's heart is really ruthless, Aunt Song is only a few months pregnant, and the eldest lady can think of that kind of poisonous plan to harm Aunt Song and the child." ”
The other maid was a little smarter, lowered her voice and said: "The second young master was beheaded, and Madame naturally saw that Aunt Song and her child were not pleasing to the eye, don't talk about this matter, if you let the eldest lady know, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
The two cautiously glanced at each other and hurried away.
Shui only heard the first few sentences, but she didn't hear the last sentence, but the first few sentences were enough to make her slap her chest.
"What the hell is going on!" Shui roared.
The two maids who had walked not far in front trembled, heard her voice, and immediately ran away.
Mama Yan hurried up, "Husband, madam." ”
Shui Shi had a pair of red eyes and slapped Mama Yan's face, "Say it quickly! What the hell is going on! Why did the matter stab the emperor? Why did Duan Linxiu want to divorce me! Why why! Is it Duan Rufang's slut!"
"Madame, don't say it. Mama Yan couldn't care about the numb half of the sky, and tried to step forward to cover Shui's mouth, "Now the emperor is strictly investigating, if Madame continues to commit crimes at this time, even the old lady can't save Madame!"
Shui's face was incredulous, "How can this be...... Why, how inexplicably, let the emperor know......"
Shui panicked, "No! I can't be suspended...... If I am taken off by Duan Lin, how can I still gain a foothold in this capital, and what will those ladies think of me!" Shui grabbed Yan's wrist, "You go and tell your mother and let her save me quickly, I can't be divorced, I also gave birth to Lang Yi and Ruhua to Duan Lin, how can he leave me......"
"Madame, calm down. Mama Yan was pinched by her, and she had to squeeze out a smile to comfort her, "Don't worry, you are the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Master Duan was able to marry you at the beginning, but it has accumulated eight lifetimes of blessings, think about it, the eldest lady has now become the prince's side concubine, and at this time, Master Duan will not divorce you, even if he wants to, the old lady and the old lady will not let him go, don't worry, madam." ”
Shui Shi was moved by her, and gradually calmed down, and his eyes were fierce
"You're right, Duan Lin Xiu didn't dare to divorce me!" Shui straightened his waist as if he had a heart talisman, "Hmph, I'm still the eldest lady in this mansion, she Duan Ruxiu wants to squeeze me away like this!"
Mama Yan gave her advice, "Madam, the old slave thinks that you should go and see the eldest lady, since the eldest lady married to the prince's mansion, you haven't been there once, Master Duan thinks most highly of Miss Da, even if it is for the sake of the eldest lady's face, he will not help Duan Rufang embarrass Mrs." ”
Shui frowned unhappily, but she thought about it, it was indeed useful to go to see Duan Ruhua, so she asked Mama Yan to prepare the carriage and wanted to go out.
