239, suspicious sinus (2)
On that day, Feng Miao pretended to be a maidservant Chuntong, and hid in Gao Zhaorong's car before mixing up Qingyan Sidong, who stayed in the room and deliberately spoke loudly to attract the attention of the guards. Anyway, Honeysuckle was injured so that she could escape, and she had to know who was responsible.
In the evening, Tuoba Hong returned from the Taiji Palace, and before returning to the dormitory, he first went to the Huayin Hall to see Feng Miao. He carefully asked Feng Miao where he had gone during the day and whether he was still used to eating in the palace. He asked, and Feng Miao replied without saying anything else. There is a strange estrangement between the two, and they are a little cautious about each other.
"I have ordered someone to choose a place halfway up Longmen Mountain, and plan to dig a cave Buddha statue, so you can be regarded as a mother who does your best for Huai'er. Huai'er is still young, so it's not good to write his name directly as a donor for the excavation, so it's good that I know this intention. Tuoba Hong's tone was light, afraid that if he said it heavily, he would remind her of some bad memories.
"Your Majesty," Feng Miao looked up at him, "Minghang Temple has spent a lot of money to renovate the pagoda, and sooner or later the emperor will have to go south, why rush to dig the Buddha statue at this time?" She paused, knelt down in front of Tuoba Hong, and said sincerely, "If the emperor really has this heart for Huai'er, can he let Huai'er return to the concubine and be raised by the concubine herself?" ”
Tuoba Hong held her arm and helped her up: "I don't want to say good things to hide from you, doing my best for Huai'er is only one of the reasons. In the hands of my uncles, they had soldiers, horses, and money. If I personally led the troops to the south, but left them in Luoyang, I really can't rest assured. I built the Ming Hanging Temple, renovated the pagoda, and dug the caves, not only for you, but also to show that I still worship the gods and Buddhas, so that the princes of the clan can follow suit. ”
Feng Miao bowed her head and was silent, she understood what Tuoba Hong meant, he wanted to use this way to make those powerful clan princes compete to donate money to build pagodas and dig cave stone statues, and consume their money little by little. In the next few years, it is very likely that the Great Wei Capital will continue to fight against the Southern Dynasties, and he needs a peaceful and stable capital and absolute imperial authority. His royal skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.
"As for Huai'er, I have already told people that he was born to a noble man, and now the noble man has not made any big mistakes, and suddenly bringing the child back to you to raise it is plain suspicious." Speaking of this, Tuoba Hong coughed lightly, as if he was hiding something.
Feng Miao didn't know that someone deliberately led him to see another illusion, and she didn't know anything about the worries in Tuoba Hong's heart, she only felt that Tuoba Hong's words were weird, completely different from his usual attitude towards people and things.
Tuoba Hong sighed and said, "At that time, you were unconscious, but the child grew up very fast, and I didn't wait to discuss it with you...... When Huai'er is older, I will slowly find a suitable opportunity to let Huai'er come back to you. ”
Thinking of the situation he saw during the day, Feng Miao became more and more annoyed in his heart, but if he talked about that matter in detail, he couldn't catch Gao Zhaorong doing anything wrong. She turned to think of something else, and asked, "I originally quietly told Honeysuckle where I was going and asked her to tell the emperor, but I just heard that Honeysuckle was actually beaten in the back of the head and couldn't speak." Can you ask the emperor to send someone to bring Honeysuckle to Pingcheng? After all, she was injured for my sake, and I wanted to keep her close for care. ”
This is not a difficult task, and Tuoba Hong agreed without thinking.
Feng Miao then asked, "Presumably, Honeysuckle didn't have time to tell the emperor my words, so how did the emperor know that I was in the Southern Dynasty?" ”
"I hurried back to Pingcheng at that time, but found that you were missing, and sent people to search around, but I searched the entire Pingcheng and didn't find you, so I guessed that Wang Xuanzhi took you out of Pingcheng." Tuoba Hong remembered that his heart and gall were broken during those days, and he still felt that his heart was filled with a thick black mist, "I sent Xuanyi Wei to search for the Southern Dynasty, and I didn't have much hope, but Wang Xuanzhi sent someone to inform me, saying that you are in danger and want to send you back." ”
"Wang Xuanzhi is indeed a downright gentleman, rare and not pedantic, and he is older than me," Tuoba Hong looked directly into Feng Miao's eyes, "Miao'er, since you call him big brother, if I can meet him in person again in the future, I am willing to call him big brother." ”
Feng Miao was firmly covered by his blazing gaze, and involuntarily looked back. She originally deliberately used that sentence to test it, but since Tuoba Hong admitted it so generously, it showed that he was not ashamed of his attitude towards Wang Xuanzhi, at most he sighed for his situation. Maybe the letter was really not written by Tuoba Hong, when she was about to give birth, she felt uncomfortable, and her mind was all on A-Niang's old affairs, so she just glanced at it and hid the letter paper in her sleeve, and then she didn't have a chance to take a closer look at whether there were any flaws.
"That'...... How is Brother Genzhi now? She couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that Xiao Luan, the Marquis of Xichang, beheaded all the branches of the Langya Wang clan, even babies under the age of 10 and old women over 70 years old. I also sent spies to inquire, and it is said that Wang Xuan's whereabouts are unknown, and even the Marquis of Xichang is searching for him everywhere. Tuoba Hong was afraid that Feng Miao would be sad and sad when he heard it, so he deliberately understated it and omitted all the details. The news he heard was that Wang Xuanzhi's father refused to bow down to Xiao Luan, and the furious Marquis of Xichang executed all the white people in the old mansion with capital punishment, cut off the tongues of Wang Xuanzhi's father and brother, smashed the leg bones, and discarded them in a mass grave.
But the tragic situation revealed in those words still made Feng Miao can't help but cover her lips. She knew that Xichanghou had been dissatisfied with Wang Xuanzhi and his father and brother for a long time, but she didn't dare to think about which thing was the last straw that aroused Xichanghou's anger, was Wang Xuanzhi's old father's scolding in the current dynasty, or Wang Xuanzhi sent her and her newborn child away?
"Miao'er, in fact, I intended to summon Xuanzhi to Dawei as an official early on, but he couldn't leave his parents and brothers at home." Tuoba Hong stood up and wrapped his arms around Feng Miao's shoulders with open arms, "He is a responsible man, and I really respect him at this point." ”
Feng Miao was hugged by him, she didn't speak or move, she just wanted to have a place to lean for a while, and let her think back to the sentence just now - "All beheaded...... Wang Xuan's whereabouts are unknown...... "Since returning to the palace, she has too many doubts in her heart, and there is one more at this time, she also needs to know who wrote that letter."
In July, several official schools in Luoyang City have been built, and respected teachers have been invited to teach. The concubines in the palace and the princes and concubines were also invited to watch from the side.
The crown prince Tuoba was already a teenager at this time, born thick and large, and he didn't look like Tuoba Hong's thin temperament at all. However, the second prince Tuoba Ke was born fair-skinned and beautiful, very similar to Tuoba Hong when he was a child.
The two princes were the first to enter the hall, first bowing to their father, and then each saluting his mother. According to the ancestral system of the Tuoba clan, after the crown prince killed his mother, the queen naturally became the mother of the crown prince and assumed the responsibility of raising and teaching. This was the case for successive emperors, in order to ensure that when they ascended the throne in the future, there would not be too much estrangement between the emperor and the empress dowager.
Before the death of the Empress Dowager, she had been personally raising the crown prince Tuoba Sui, and it was not until after the capital was moved to Luoyang that the old minister wrote a letter proposing to hand over the crown prince to the queen to raise. But at this time, the crown prince was already old, and he couldn't have any affection for this queen mother who fell from the sky. His salute was sloppy and simple, and he stood up in a hurry without even touching his forehead to the ground.
Feng Qing was rarely kind and kind, and when he saw that the crown prince Tuoba was so hot that his forehead was covered with sweat, he asked Yuye to take a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and then bring him a bowl of sherbet mixed with crushed ice for him to drink.
Tuoba Hong was very dissatisfied with the crown prince's behavior, but in front of everyone, it was not easy to attack for a while.
The second prince, Tuoba Ke, was a little younger, but his clothes were neatly dressed and not messy, not as sloppy as the crown prince. He walked up to Gao Zhaorong, solemnly bowed down, and said in a child's voice, "Erchen meets the mother, may the mother be happy and healthy." "He did it at a glance, very much like Tuoba Hong back then.
Gao Zhaorong held his young son Tuoba in his arms, and did not show the slightest smug look on his face, only calmly told him to get up, and told him to study diligently and not to live up to his father's expectations.
When Tuoba Ke got up, he saw Feng Miao also sitting on the side, so he winked at her and smiled. In the eyes of children, Feng Miao is soft and gentle, and very amiable. Feng Miao saw him for the first time after returning to the palace, she had always liked this smart and precocious child, so she also smiled at him, shook her head gently at him and signaled him to stand up, not to lose his honor in front of his father.
Tuoba Hong glanced at each of the two princes, and asked, "You two can tell me, which of the books you have read recently is your favorite?" He glanced at the crown prince Tuoba Sui, "You are the elder brother, you speak first." ”
Tuoba had always been a little afraid of this father, and felt that he didn't like him, but he didn't know why. He has mediocre qualifications and has never liked to read, and when he is nervous at this time, he is even more speechless.
Feng Qing was anxious when he saw it, and said "think slowly", and at the same time quietly asked Yuye to hand a handkerchief to the crown prince to wipe his sweat. Yuye stepped forward with a handkerchief and raised her hand to cover his forehead. There are two embroidered verses on the veil, which happen to fall in the eyes of Tuoba. He stammered, "Son...... Erchen recently read Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, slender...... My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”
The Book of Poetry is the book that the prince read when he was enlightened, and the crown prince still only reads such a sentence at this age, which has made Tuoba Hong's heart very unhappy. But Li Chong still led the false title of the prince and young master, Tuoba Hong didn't want to refute his face, so he endured it and continued to ask, "Tell me, why did you choose this sentence to read?" ”
