Chapter 838 Siblings
The banquet became more and more lively, Tang Ling took the wine glass, walked to the seats of Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, and said with a smile: "Cai Aiqing, Song Aiqing, the two of them have worked hard, I want to give a glass to the two Aiqing!"
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng were flattered, and hurriedly stood up, holding their glasses with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty is ashamed of Weichen! Weichen respects Your Majesty!" While speaking, the two of them both drank all the wine in their cups. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Ling took a shallow sip and put the wine glass in his hand into the tray held by the palace maid. She waved her hand to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two Aiqing, please sit down, today is a private banquet, don't be restrained, speaking of which, we haven't sat together for a long time to drink and talk." As she spoke, she glanced at the ground, and the palace maid next to her immediately came over with a cushion and carefully placed it on the ground. Tang Ling sat down with a smile, while Cai Xiao and Song Sheng knelt on both sides.
Seeing Tang Ling, Cai Xiao and Song Sheng sitting together, Shangguan Xiu was not interested, and had no intention of participating, looking at the banquet venue where the atmosphere was becoming more and more lively, and he was quite bored, taking advantage of no one's attention, he walked out of the venue and went outside to hang out.
Tang Ling noticed Shangguan Xiu's quiet departure, but he didn't move. She looked at Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, and said, "How many years have we been working together?"
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng glanced at each other, bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have assisted Your Majesty for more than five years!"
"It's been more than five years, and it's been so many years. "Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing
Tang Ling shook his head and sighed, and said with a blurred gaze: "Back in the day, when I first ascended to the Great Treasure, there were a lot of criticisms of me inside and outside the court, and there were even many people who wanted to put me to death. She lifted the wine jug and poured wine for Cai Xiao and Song Sheng respectively.
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng hurriedly picked up the cup, bowed down, and after Tang Ling poured the wine, the two said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Fortunately, Cai Aiqing, Song Aiqing, and Qiu Aiqing stood by my side at that time, helping me calm down internal and external troubles, assisting me, and sitting firmly on this dragon chair. I remember the kindness of all Aiqing to me and never dare to forget it. Tang Ling said quietly.
Hearing this, Cai Xiao and Song Sheng's eyes turned red, and they choked up and said, "Your Majesty ......"
Tang Ling smiled at Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, and picked up the wine glass from the tray next to him. Cai Xiao and Song Sheng hurriedly picked up their cups and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen respects Your Majesty!"
She nodded, and took another sip of her wine. Cai Xiao and Song Sheng still drank all the wine in their cups.
Tang Ling said: "I think of the kindness of the two Aiqing, and naturally I also hope that the two Aiqing can live in life and enjoy a prosperous life, so above the court, I am very tolerant of the two Aiqing, even if Aiqing occasionally makes mistakes, I can't bear to blame." ”
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng both lowered their heads, in all fairness, Tang Ling was really good to Cai, Song, and Qiu, the three powerful ministers, the three of them used their power for personal gain, filled their pockets, formed a party for personal gain, eradicated dissidents, and used their power to make profits for the family business, Tang Ling didn't know, she knew everything in her heart, but she never mentioned a word about these things.
Back then, the three of them supported her to sit on the throne, and she was grateful, and now that she is on a stable throne, she is more indulgent to the three of them, which can be regarded as a reward for them.
All along, all they coveted was money, but in Tang Ling's opinion, this kind of greed was insignificant and could not shake their foundation at all.
But now it's different, Cai Xiao and Song Sheng's spearheads are pointing at Shangguan Xiu, and they are fighting with Shangguan Xiu, it is no longer an open and secret fight, but a struggle between fire and water, incompatibility, and life and death.
But Shangguan Xiu is her husband after all, no matter how grateful she is to Cai Xiao and Song Sheng for supporting her back then, but in the end, she will definitely choose to stand on Shangguan Xiu's side.
Conniving at them to continue the vicious fight, Tang Ling was worried that Cai Xiao and Song Sheng might not have a good death.
Especially in the recent case of the robbery of the official bank, this is not just an infighting, but involves the interests of the imperial court, and touches whether her throne can be stabilized, she can no longer sit idly by and watch, just now by punishing Shen Jin, beating Song Sheng, it is precisely because of this.
Tang Ling said: "I and Guogong, the two are happy, to get to this point, have experienced a lot of tribulations, it is not easy, I hope that the marriage between me and Guogong can be safe and stable, without any tribulations, and I also hope that the two Aiqing can continue to assist me and help me, can the two Aiqing do it?"
The words she said earlier are just a foreshadowing to mobilize emotions, and the really important words are here at the end.
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng are both human spirits, Tang Ling's intentions, how can he not understand?
She asked the two of them not to fight with Shangguan Xiu anymore, for both of them, she would definitely choose Shangguan Xiu in the end, and the two of them couldn't win at all, but she remembered the kindness of the two of them back then, and couldn't bear to see the two of them die well, so she warned them.
Cai Xiao's face was ugly, he lowered his head, and was silent, while Song Sheng sniffed and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty's intentions, the old ministers have all understood, and the old ministers remember Your Majesty's teachings!"
"Very good!" Tang Ling smiled, his exquisite little face was even more beautiful.
She raised her arm slightly, and the palace maid next to her walked quickly up, helping her up. She said with a smile: "I can't do without the two Aiqing by my side, and I hope that the two Aiqing can always assist me and work together with me to create a peaceful and prosperous world!"
Cai Xiao and Song Sheng then stood up, bowed down and saluted: "In order to repay Your Majesty's kindness, the old minister is willing to do his best for Your Majesty, and then die." ”
Tang Ling nodded with a smile and turned back to his seat.
She has already said what should be said, she has also ordered what should be ordered, if Cai and Song still don't understand, and they want to continue to fight with Shangguan Xiu, she can't help it, no matter what happens in the future, she has nothing to feel guilty about.
Seeing Tang Ling and a group of imperial relatives talking freely again, Cai Xiao rubbed his teary eyes, two fine lights flashed in his eyes, he turned his eyes to look at Song Sheng, and asked tentatively: "Lord Song, Your Majesty's mind can't be understood now, right?"
Song Sheng took a deep breath, there were still tears on his cheeks, he nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Even if we want to stop now, we can't stop, Shangguan Xiu will never let you and me go, stopping is equivalent to sitting still." ”
Cai Xiao said with a deep gaze: "But with the protection of His Majesty, there is almost no chance for you and me to bring down Shangguan Xiu." ”
"Almost nothing, doesn't mean absolutely nothing. What's more, there are very few ways to bring down Shangguan Xiu, but there are many ways to make a person disappear from the world, Lord Cai, what do you say?" Song Sheng looked at him with a smile.
Cai Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that Song Sheng has not changed his mind by His Majesty's words, he is still on his side, and he can still be used as a gunman by himself.
He said quietly: "Lord Song also saw it just now, Shangguan Xiu's spiritual martial arts are so high that he is almost a demigod body!"
"A demigod is not a god, even if he is really a god, the old man will destroy the god this time!" Song Sheng picked up the wine glass, glanced at Cai Xiao, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup fiercely.
Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, he went out of the banquet venue and wandered around the imperial garden.
As he was walking, there was a burst of laughter ahead. Shangguan Xiu walked over, only to see that near the rockery in the Imperial Garden, there was a group of half-grown children playing, and Tang Mingzhu was also among them.
A little boy about 10 years old, carved in pink was sitting on a high mountain rock, holding a banana in his arms, he broke off one of the bananas from time to time, took a random bite, and then threw it far away, pointing at the banana with his finger, shouting: "Go pick it up, go pick it up, go pick it up!"
The other children didn't move, but Tang Mingzhu ran up and picked up the banana that the little boy threw away, the children around laughed, the little boy pointed to the banana in her hand, and said, "Eat, this is my reward for you, you eat quickly!"
The banana had fallen to the ground, and it was covered with dust, but Tang Mingzhu really ate the banana into his stomach one bite at a time. Seeing this, the laughter of the surrounding children was even louder, and they laughed forward and backwards, laughing unscrupulously.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help frowning and looked at Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei behind him.
Xiao Jue took a step forward, approached Shangguan Xiu's ear, and whispered: "Brother Xiu, these children are the sons and county lords of the princes and princesses. ”
Shangguan Xiu didn't speak, only raised his hand and pointed to the child who was still breaking bananas while sitting on the stone. Xiao Jue glanced at it and replied: "Brother Xiu, he is the eldest son of King Ping, the current master of Tongtianmen, the son Tang Fei!"
It turned out that he was Tang Fei! For Tang Fei, Shangguan Xiu was no stranger to the spot, when he was only five years old, he was placed by Tang Ling on the throne of the master of Tongtianmen, of course, Tang Fei, the master of the door, just hung a false name, and now the person who really holds the real power of Tongtianmen is Han Ye.
But even so, the title of the master of Tongtianmen is enough to make Tang Fei stand out among the relatives of the emperor, although he is not very old, only nine years old, but he has become the head of the child among the sons of the same generation and the county lord.
Not to mention the children of the same generation, even if the prince and princess saw him, they were all polite, how dare they really treat him as a child. When he was young, he was held and respected, and Tang Fei's arrogant personality can be imagined.
Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Aren't Tang Mingzhu and Tang Fei sisters and brothers?" Why do you want to unite with other children and bully your sister so much?
Xiao Jue shook his head and whispered, "The two of them are half-siblings!"
Shangguan Xiu looked at him puzzled, half-brother and sister, isn't that also a brother and sister?
Xiao Jue didn't know how to explain, Wu Yufei stepped forward and said: "Back then, Your Majesty also killed almost all the siblings around him, which involved the succession to the throne, and in the palace, it involved the succession to the throne, in essence, it was actually the same. ”
Wu Yufei said this, and Shangguan Xiu immediately understood. He looked at Tang Mingzhu, who was like a little fool, picking up fruits to eat, and then looked at Tang Fei, who was arrogant and majestic, and he sighed lightly.
When Tang Mingzhu picked up another banana and was about to open it to eat, she suddenly felt a flower in front of her, and the banana in her hand was gone.
She was startled, turned her head to look, and saw Shangguan Xiu standing beside her for some time, and what he was holding in his hand was the banana that Tang Fei had bitten a bite of.
She opened her mouth wide in surprise, and before she could speak, Shangguan Xiu's arm was raised outward, and the banana in her hand flew out, impartial, and smashed into Tang Fei's face.
