vs 244 Jealousy
What happened back then, Emperor Shunming really didn't do it. Princess Changle www.biquge.info was frail and sickly, and she couldn't survive for long. Xiang Guang himself knows this well. Therefore, after the death of the princess, Xiang Guang found Emperor Shunming and bluntly stated that he would no longer be interested in the throne. Emperor Shunming also immediately promised that he would firmly remember this favor, and after ascending the throne, under the emperor, King Changle was the first person deserved.
On the surface, this is the case, but in fact, it is impossible for Emperor Shunming to hand over important powers such as military power to Xiang Guang. King Changle was indeed extremely noble inside and outside the court, but he did not have any power in his hands. Xiang Guang has long seen this, and he travels all day long, and then he reads poetry and books behind closed doors. He was genuinely tired of fighting for power and didn't want to get involved anymore. It is precisely because of King Changle's indisputable style that Emperor Shunming dared to entrust Xiaohe to him to raise on his behalf. I have to admit that in terms of knowing people, Emperor Shunming is really discerning. Otherwise, Xiaohe would not have survived until now.
Emperor Shunming looked very anxious, and as soon as King Changle sat down, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and ask, "Brother Wang, what's going on with that birthmark on Wen Yuan's face?"
When King Changle entered the palace, he had already asked the summoned chamberlain about the reason for the matter. He sat calmly, slowly stroked the long beard on his chest, and laughed loudly: "What else can it be? Your own daughter, you don't know yourself, are too embarrassed to come and ask me? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is really ridiculous." ”
Xiang Guang still looks bold and unscrupulous. This was his prerogative in front of Emperor Shunming. In the whole world, only Xiang Guang has this qualification.
Emperor Shunming felt very embarrassed, but it was not easy to ask too many questions. In the matter of Xiaohe, he himself felt that he owed his daughter too much. Back then, if it weren't for the power dispute between the courtiers and the Empress Dowager of the Inner Palace, Xiaohe would not have been released from the palace to be raised by Xiang Guang. Although it is a stopgap measure. But later, he didn't send Xiaohe back to the palace. Although this is also for the sake of Xiaohe's safety, as a father, Emperor Shunming is indeed very incompetent.
King Changle did not blindly sneer. He knew exactly when he could laugh at him and when he had to be respectful. After a pause, he put away the smile on his face, and his expression became serious: "It seems." You all know what happened to my niece. In that case, there is no need to hide it. Your Majesty, you have given birth to a good girl! Your appearance is dignified and beautiful, and even this king feels envious when she sees it. It's a pity that my old wife died early and didn't leave me a single trace of blood. If there is a child, he will definitely not let go of Xiaohe, and he will get it no matter what. to be a princess for the king's children. ”
King Changle spoke with this temper, and Emperor Shunming was also very clear about this. The more he sighed like this, the more it showed that Xiaohe's appearance was unparalleled in the world. Emperor Shunming was cautious, and he would not make a conclusion until he confirmed the truth of the matter. Although he hadn't seen Xiaohe yet, Emperor Shunming had already believed a lot in King Changle's words. It's just that Emperor Shunming still has many questions about the black birthmark. He couldn't help but say, "Please also ask Brother Wang to tell me." When did the birthmark on Xiaohe's face disappear?"
There is nothing to hide from this kind of thing. King Changle is not the kind of person who looks at others anxiously and worriedly. The guy who stood next to him and joked wantonly. At that moment, he told everything that happened in Guozi Prison, as well as everything between Xiaohe and Yang Tianhong.
Emperor Shunming listened and nodded slowly. waited until Xiang Guang, the king of Changle, finished speaking, and then said to himself thoughtfully: "So to speak." The fetus on Wen Yuan's face was cleared because of Yang Tianhong. ”
Xiang Guang casually sighed "Hmm", and said with emotion: "The immortal elixir is really magical. If this king had been lucky enough to get one, my old wife would not have died early. Now think about it. Very emotional. Life is impermanent, and it is really beyond the control of the powerful and money!"
Emperor Shunming was more suspicious after all. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Brother Wang, do you think Yang Tianhong would have known Wen Yuan's identity before he entered the Guozijian?"
Xiang Guang raised his eyelids and looked at Emperor Shunming. After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head and sighed, "I just can't get used to your too suspicious temperament." I have already sent someone to inquire into this matter secretly. The matter of Guozijian going to school was arranged by Lao Guangping and Yang Rong. At the same time, there are several others in Quang Binh Houfu. Among them, Yang Tianhong's sister-in-law Yang Qiurong is also included. If he came specifically for Wen Yuan, he would definitely not have made such a big battle. What's more, the hussar general Yang Jing broke up with Guangping Hou in order to marry him, which is a well-known thing. Yang Tianhong is a noisy person who can't sit still, but he has made great achievements in poetry and writing. Even the old priest of the country was full of praise for the few poems he had made. Your Majesty, you also know that buying a place in the Guozi Prison and then letting your own children have a promotion rank has always been my unwritten practice. Back then, Wen Yuan's departure from the palace, in addition to you and me, there was also the old manager of the East, and no fourth person knew about it. For many years, the guards and cronies around the king did not know Wen Yuan's identity at all. Things are done so secretly, Your Majesty, do you think it is possible for Yang Tianhong to know that Wen Yuan is the princess What's more, when that kid came to the library that day, I could see it clearly upstairs. Yang Tianhong was indeed just reading books, and he definitely didn't have the slightest action to please Wen Yuan. The relationship between the two people was not good at first, and there were even contradictions and conflicts. If Yang Tianhong really knew Wen Yuan's identity early on, he would be close to ...... Then this king can only say that this person is extremely intelligent, rare in the world, and the degree of cunning and insidious is also incredible. Don't say that he Yang Tianhong is from the Guiyuan Sect, even if it is a Mahayana monk who already exists in the cultivation world, I am afraid it will be difficult to do this. ”
Emperor Shunming was silent for a moment and asked, "According to Brother Wang's intentions, Yang Tianhong is indeed just acting rashly in this matter?"
King Changle nodded: "At least in the eyes of this king." Your Majesty, you also know that there are never a few young and handsome men who can be looked down upon by this king. As for the Great Chu court, except for one Yang Tianhong, there is no second person. ”
Emperor Shunming continued: "Then, according to Brother Wang, Wen Yuan's family affairs ......"
King Changle sat down with his body facing forward, his expression a little strange: "Could it be?" Your Majesty wants to repent?"
It's no wonder that Xiang Guang showed such an expression. Emperor Shunming agreed to Yang Tianhong's marriage proposal in front of important ministers of the court. Listening to Emperor Shunming's tone at the moment, it seems that he regrets this marriage a little. Xiang Guang couldn't help but think about it, if this was the case, it could only be said that Yang Tianhong was really unlucky, and he had such an unreasonable emperor and father-in-law.
Emperor Shunming waved his hand: "How is that possible." I still promised him, and I will surely marry them one day. Brother Wang was too worried. I just thought about it. At that time, in order to suppress the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Yang Tianhong had to be sealed in Anzhou. It's just that the road is far away and the livelihood is difficult, and Wen Yuan is the pearl of my palm. Just marrying Anzhou so far away, I really feel ashamed of them. Brother Wang thinks that it is better to change the seal of another rich state capital to Yang Tianhong, or to continue to seal it on the basis of the Anzhou Festival? Or to give the land of Suizhou to Wen Yuan as a dowry?"
The heart that Changle King had lifted high slowly fell back into place. He smiled heartily: "Your Majesty, don't do this. According to this king, the Anzhou Festival envoy is the best reward for Yang Tianhong. That kid was shrewd and prepared early. That place in Anju. In the eyes of others, it is a piece of chicken ribs, which has no meat to eat and tastes discarded. But it was different for him. Anzhou has abundant rice and grain, which is a natural advantage that no place in Dachu can compare with. As for the difficulty of the road between Anzhou and Suizhou, this problem is definitely not difficult for Yang Tianhong. Maybe he'll turn that disadvantage into an advantage. ”
Emperor Shunming suddenly became interested: "Oh! Why did Brother Wang say this? Could it be that Brother Wang knew something?"
Xiang Guang shook his head: "Although this king has a close relationship with Yang Tianhong, that kid has a very tight tone. No matter how tempting the king tried, he categorically refused to utter a word. Then again. Now that Wen Yuan is married, Yang Tianhong will definitely not do anything that endangers my Dachu. The hussar general Yang Jing is loyal and brave, and Guangping Hou is also loyal to the imperial court. Put the people of the Yang family in this position in Anzhou Jiedu, Your Majesty should rest assured. What's more, His Majesty issued an edict a few days ago and ordered Yang Tianhong to lead the Xuanhuo Army into Beijing. Want. He should be on his way by now, and it won't be long before he arrives. If Your Majesty still has doubts in his heart, it is in vain to wonder instead of secretly pondering here. It's better to call him over in person and ask him for clarification. Although Yang Tianhong's kid is slippery, for the sake of Wen Yuan's face, he will definitely not deceive His Majesty. ”
After a pause, King Changle pulled his chair forward, shortened the distance between him and Emperor Shunming, and said in a low voice: "Yang Tianhong recently captured the important town of the Yue barbarian town of Dianbian, I wonder if Your Majesty can see any clues from this?"
When Emperor Shunming heard this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xiang Guang, his eyes full of questions: "What's wrong?"
King Changle raised his right hand, and his fingers measured and drew a general shape of Anzhou in the air. The index finger then pulled down hard, and said softly: "Anzhou is adjacent to the sea to the west and east, and only to the south can there be a large piece of land. For the Yue people, Yang Tianhong has long been able to kill. Now that we have captured Dien Bien, maybe in a few years, we will be able to reach Hanoi, the capital of the Yue people. The king had looked at the map, and there was a vast area of land. It is equivalent to several states of our Dachu. If Yang Tianhong really opened up territory for His Majesty, at that time, his merits would not be something that a mere marquis could match. For this matter, His Majesty still has to sit down early, lest those wine bags and rice bags in the court oppose it again, and he can only compromise and beg Yang Tianhong to be lowered again. You must know that this person's heart was cold for the first time, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be cold for the second time!"
......
At this moment, the Queen's Palace was filled with dark and dreary dark clouds, like the prelude to a storm, which could erupt at any time.
Princess Xinxuan had already changed into a set of clean clothes, sat on the soft couch in front of Queen Zhang, gritted her teeth, and tore a silk handkerchief with both hands.
"Queen Mother, Wen Yuan's slut must have done it on purpose. She pretended to be pitiful, and used the long-fading birthmark as a cover, just to make us think that she was still the same as before. Her scheming was so deep that even Yang Tianhong was fascinated by her, and begged her father for marriage. This kind of slut, I will definitely die with her in this life and this life. ”
Looking at her daughter with tears on her face, Queen Zhang felt distressed. When Princess Xinxuan, who was wet all over her body, was helped in, she was really frightened. asked the reason for the matter, Queen Zhang herself felt overwhelmed, and while ordering someone to find another clean clothes for Princess Xinxuan to change into, she rushed to Lingxiu Palace and saw with her own eyes the removal of the birthmark on her head. Radiant, dignified and beautiful little lotus.
Princess Xinxuan was right, the palace maids who accompanied her to Lingxiu Palace did not lie, Xiaohe is indeed a beauty who captivates the country and the city. The kind of beauty that can't be described in words, even Empress Zhang feels envious, jealous and hateful when she sees it. To a large extent, women are the animals that eat on this face. Otherwise. You don't have to put so much makeup on your face every day, and you don't have to dig out the heart to dress up.
The changes of Princess Wenyuan spread like the wind throughout the harem. For a while, the Lingxiu Palace was crowded with people. All the concubines in the harem came to see this magical scene with their own eyes. Empress Zhang went late, and the corridor was also crowded with people. If it weren't for the noble status of the queen, the concubines and palace ladies avoided it one after another, and Queen Zhang might not even be able to enter the gate of Lingxiu Palace.
Looking at the beautiful Xiaohe, Queen Zhang only felt as if she had been stung by a wasp in her heart, and it hurt for no reason. Of course, what is on the face must be represented. Just a few casual words, Empress Zhang turned around and left, leaving a group of concubines there to talk about each other, around Xiaohe. The content of the conversation is nothing more than asking Xiaohe what he ate so effective, or what is the content of the prescription of the Tai Hospital? If no one is jealous, it is absolutely false. However, on such occasions, no one will put displeasure on their faces. At most, it's just standing next to you and saying something sour.
Princess Xinxuan's cry was different.
"Queen Mother, I don't want to see that slut living in the palace. Queen Mother, go and talk to your father. Drove her away and threw her out of the palace. ”
"I'm going to kill that slut. No, I'm going to make her face a joke in the eyes of the world. ”
"If it weren't for that slut who pretended to deceive Yi Yonghou, my father would have given me a marriage. It was that slut who took everything from me. Mother, help me. It's better to let that slut die now. ”
Everyone can say cruel words, but this kind of thing is often the least threatening. A person with strength will not spend his strength on his lips at all. Either give the other party a fatal blow directly, or use many means to ruin the other party's family. Strictly calculated. Except for shrews and trash, no one will spit on the stars and fight with their mouths.
can be the queen and dominate the harem, of course, Queen Zhang is not an ordinary person. She didn't pay attention to Princess Xinxuan's unrealistic cries, and slowly fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said slowly: "Since things are already like this, it is useless to say more." Listen to the words of the queen mother, don't cry and shout, otherwise if the matter here spreads and is heard by your father, it will definitely cause another disaster out of thin air. ”
When Princess Xinxuan heard this, she couldn't help but froze, and opened her mouth to ask: "Can't you even talk about it?" That slut has been outside for more than ten years, who knows what kind of relationship there is between the wild man. Just a few days after entering the palace, he unveiled his disguise and deliberately contrived. Queen Mother, didn't you see it, in the bath of Lingxiu Palace before, she was so fierce and vicious, I couldn't wait to kill my daughter on the spot. ”
"Alright! ”
Empress Zhang waved her hand impatiently and frowned: "It's okay if you talk about it in front of this palace." Even if your father hears it, he will definitely not believe it. You kid, you can't even look at the momentum. Now, Wen Yuan has clearly become the person sought after by many concubines in the palace. You have been reckless in your way through the past, and you have already made a mistake in etiquette. If she catches on to this, your father will be furious again. That's it, I don't think Wen Yuan will make a fuss about this matter. You must never mention it again. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you, even the queen mother. ”
Princess Xinxuan stopped her tears, and her eyes showed a fierce and extremely unwilling gaze: "According to what the queen mother said, is it just that?"
Empress Zhang was silent, got up from her chair, and paced back and forth in the room. She thought carefully for a long time, and a sneer gradually appeared on her face.
"If you want to have a different outcome in this matter, it's not really difficult. ”
When Princess Xinxuan heard this, she hurriedly walked over, approached Queen Zhang, and asked in surprise, "What did the queen mother think?"
Empress Zhang stroked her daughter's hair with pity, and said seriously: "What kind of clever plan can a woman's family have in this palace? If this woman is born beautiful, she will naturally like many men. Wen Yuan's birthmark is gone, and she is indeed the first beauty in the harem. Even if it is placed outside, it may be the premier peerless beauty of our Great Chu Kingdom. ”
Princess Xinxuan couldn't listen to such words. She immediately took half a step back, looked at Empress Zhang very unhappily, and shouted repeatedly: "Why did the queen mother say such frustrating words? Could it be that the queen mother plans to let go of Wen Yuan's slut?"
"What are you anxious about?"
Empress Zhang was very dissatisfied with her daughter's words: "The solution is something that people come up with, and someone has to do it." What's the use of just standing here shouting?" )
