Chapter Fifty-Nine: Master Shi is in a hurry
The queen mother's meaning is obvious, that is, to calm things down.
It is impossible for Shi Tianming to spit out any good words in his mouth, and even if he doesn't agree with his temperament, he may scold in the court. Therefore, instead of letting her tell her, it is better to wait for Fang Qiuyan to come to the court and let the two face each other face to face, and see which of them can talk to each other.
The clear-thinking Queen Mother waved her hand to let Shi Tianming go down, but this guy was obviously angry about yesterday's events, and insisted: "Queen Mother, the minister really can't swallow this breath, even if the regent goes to court today, the minister has to say!" β
The Queen Mother frowned, and could only let him continue.
"Yesterday evening, the Lord Regent sent someone to my house to drop five wooden boxes. After opening the box, he found that there were five human heads neatly placed inside! The minister wanted to ask, the regent ignored the law and wantonly killed people, and also sent the head to my house to provoke the ministers, should this practice be punished according to the law? Should he be sentenced for homicide? β
After finishing the story violently, the voices of the court were getting louder and louder. There are those who discuss the law, there are also those who discuss the power in the hands of Fang Qiuyan and Shi Tianming, and a few courtiers are taking advantage of the chaos to chat with people about the regent gossip that they have hearsay. There are only a few military attachΓ©s and the imperial history lord in the entire court, Su Zihe looks calm and abnormal, for the generals who have been on the battlefield, the regent has been in command many times, and there are thousands of enemy troops he has killed? A few lives are really not enough to get on the table to go online.
And Su Zihe stood by and watched the whole time, without any intention of opening his mouth.
"Stop arguing! The head of the mourning family has made you noisy! β
The Queen Mother pinched her forehead with anger and asked, "So listen to what you mean, killing people will pay for your life, and the regent must be beheaded according to the law in order to live up to the law of our dynasty?" β
No one dared to speak out anymore, even Su Zihe withdrew his gaze and shrugged down his eyelids, and the hall was silent for a while.
"Master, do you mean that?"
Shi Tianming also heard the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, obviously telling him to calm things down. Fang Qiuyan is deeply loved by the people, relying on countless military exploits and political achievements, in recent years, the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen who dare to provoke him have been ruined and in debt, and there are those who have lost their lives or been exiled to the frontier, and no one can touch him at all.
"Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The regent has indeed made meritorious contributions to our dynasty, but the merits cannot be overcome, and he, as a prince, should bear due responsibility for his actions. β
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother doesn't want to deal with this guy anymore.
Come on, come on, come on!
If you want to sanction Fang Qiuyan, you can come in person!
scolded this guy who was always at odds with the regent in her heart, if it weren't for Shi Tianming being her blood brother, she would have ignored his!
"Master, what you said is not unreasonable. But the mourners want to know, do you have any evidence in your hands when you swear so much to point to the regent? β
"This ......" Shi Tianming also discovered his recklessness, and he was speechless for a while. Someone came yesterday to put down the box and left, he didn't even see anyone, just the next person came to report, and he didn't leave any evidence at all, even the head in the box was a killer sent by him, and it had nothing to do with Fang Qiuyan.
"There's no evidence, is there?" The Queen Mother sighed deeply, and said calmly, "Master, you may have been too tired from being busy with government affairs recently, and the mourning family allows you to go back to your home to recuperate for half a month, please ask a doctor to help you recuperate and condition your body, and it is okay to go to court after you have rested." β
Two simple sentences made Shi Tianming retreat, and the Queen Mother was still in a heavy mood. She couldn't understand that in the past, when Shi Tianming helped her compete for the back position, he was the support force she could rely on the most, but since Fang Qiuyan appeared, he has become more and more impetuous day by day, losing his temper at every turn, and doing things a lot more impulsively, as if he has changed people.
Shi Tianming retreated very aggrievedly and stopped making a sound.
Su Zihe saw it in his eyes, and he didn't wonder that this old guy would be deflated, but the Queen Mother's attitude was a little abnormal. Could it be that Qiu Yan went to the harem and said something to her, or was she caught by Qiu Yan?
For several months in a row, the disaster in the southeast was one of the topics of the early dynasty. Because it was Fang Qiuyan who took the lead, the household department was put on the cusp, and every day he had to truthfully report the progress of yesterday's situation.
It has to be said that under the strong hand of the regent, with the issuance of a series of policies, many displaced people have been resettled. Not only do there be fixed inns and mansions to accommodate them, but they can also eat food procured by the local government every day, of course there are no good things, but steamed rice porridge and green vegetables can still be managed.
Su Zihe lowered his eyes and listened to Master Mi's words, and secretly said that the style of the household officials who reported good news but not bad news still had to wait for Qiu Yan to take time to rectify it. According to the information he received, the living conditions of the displaced people were not ideal, the food provided by the government was barely enough to eat, and the doctors recruited to prevent the epidemic were busy every day due to lack of manpower.
At best, the overall situation has only been urgent, and the fundamental problem has not been resolved. I hope that after Ye Shiyuan goes, he can play some role.
The regent, who was feared by everyone in the court, was casually accompanying the woman to the morning market when everyone was worried about national affairs.
Wen Tiantian slept late, but she got up early in the morning in order to be able to eat the snacks that were laid out early.
"Qiu Yan, I heard that Xu Ji's breakfast is cheap and delicious, but we have to queue up, let's take advantage of the lack of people to go over and eat first and then go shopping in the East Market, okay?"
"Okay, listen to you."
Qiu Yan, who took off his court clothes, picked out a simple white shirt and plain shirt, he sat on the edge of the bed all night without resting, and his spirit was fine. Before going out, Wen Tiantian was afraid that he would be cold, so he wrapped him in a thick gray cloak, and solemnly advised: "Don't rely on your youth to wear less, you must keep warm and old so that your legs will not chill." β
Qiu Yan was very obedient and dressed well, without the slightest shelf of the prince he was holding when he was outside, this family status was so obvious that even the two little maids couldn't stand it, and the two of them found an excuse to walk behind to help carry things, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Wen Tiantian has long been surprised, Qiu Yan is a very gentle man in his bones, so he is the most real appearance.
Four people were walking down the street, they had already arrived early, and there were still six or seven people in line at the entrance of the store. looked at Qiu Yan helplessly, "Why don't we come back next time, how can it be our turn for so many people?" β
"It's okay, it's still early, you can wait a while. There's a steamed cake seller over there, so let's let Peaches go buy you two to cushion your stomach first? β
"Hmm...... That's fine, too! β
Watching Peaches run to buy cakes for everyone, Wen Tiantian's eyes turned around the lively street market, holding Qiu Yan's hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"In the past, you always went down the mountain early in the morning to buy vegetables, and you had to walk so far every day when you were injured, and you went home to take care of me and Baozi, but now I think about it, I really have no conscience as a boss."
The eye stayed on the steamed bun shop opposite, and the shopkeeper set up two stacks of steamers outside to sell steaming steamed buns.
Qiu Yan understood that she was missing the little fox and the past time, so she gently reached out and stroked her slightly cool cheek, and teased softly: "The past is over." Since you know that you have no conscience before, you have to cherish me in the future, but the good girls in the capital are lining up to marry into the mansion, you beware of being dug into the corner. β
"Inexplicably, who sparse you!" Wen Tiantian's sad thoughts suddenly dissipated, and she glared at him unceremoniously, "If you dare to marry another woman, I will ......"
"How?"
Wen Tiantian bit his finger sideways, and said fiercely: "I will go to your door every day to cry and scold the scumbag!" β
Qiu Yan was stunned, and then gave a thumbs up with a smile: "Okay, I respect you for being a man!" β
The conversation between the two of them made the people in line around them chuckle, and Qing'er also blushed and looked sideways slightly. The prince was really pinched to death by Miss Wen, and he almost spoiled her to the sky.
Wen Tiantian took the steamed cake and gave it to the two maids, Qiu Yan didn't have much appetite, so she put her hands on her chest and smiled at the three girls standing on the street eating cakes.
The shop was very busy, and their queue was fast. When she walked into the store, Wen Tiantian was really surprised. It looks like an inconspicuous sign from the outside, but when you walk in, you find that the store is very large, and the upper and lower floors are full.
Due to the large number of them, the shopkeeper specially helped to set aside a large seat for a six-person table, and led them upstairs before telling them that they needed to share a table with others.
Wen Tiantian didn't think there was anything wrong, she looked at Qiu Yan, and nodded in agreement when she saw that he didn't say anything. The four of them walked to the table, and Wen Tiantian immediately realized that she had made a correct decision inexplicably.
Handsome guy!
On the table of six people, only a cold man in a light blue robe sat at the position of the railing, Wen Tiantian glanced at it, and three big words suddenly crossed in his mind: white moonlight!
"Ahh Why are you pinching me! β
"Don't sit in the middle, change places." Qiu Yan stood at the table and stared at her condescendingly, with displeasure on her face.
The little girl shrugged her nose, got up and turned to sit down in the ...... Opposite the handsome guy!
"Text! Sweet! Sweet! β
Oops, Qiu Yan was angry.
He walked out with a pouted mouth and turned around again, and then sat beside him obediently, his little eyes still couldn't help but sneak a glance in the direction of the man in blue.
"Drink tea." poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, Qiu Yan's face was much gloomy than before, and the depressing atmosphere on the table made the two little maids sit on pins and needles, and they couldn't wait to escape back to the house immediately and never go shopping with them again.
The man in blue naturally found Wen Tiantian's eyes, but his melancholy gaze was still cold, and he ate the porridge in his bowl lightly, pretending not to see it.
"Four guest officers, this is the dish you ordered, please use it slowly."
The shopkeeper brought the breakfast they ordered one after another, and the rich aroma of the rice made Wen Tiantian unable to stop swallowing. I picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fried beef, and just as I was about to start eating, I felt a resentful gaze coming from my side.
"Well, don't be jealous, let's have a piece of beef! This has to be eaten hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. β
Dogleg put the beef in his bowl, and took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the man in blue again, Wen Tiantian sighed again in his heart that this person's appearance was exquisite. If Qiu Yan's face was not injured, it is estimated that the beauty of the two should be comparable.
"No appetite."
Qiu Yan is going to be! Wen Tiantian kept peeking at the man, and he was embarrassed to say that he was jealous, and he didn't want to eat at all when he was angry.
How can I not look as good as that little white face? She won't chase after others!
Thinking of the mask on his face, Fang Qiuyan felt awkward, this was the first time he had seriously considered his appearance since returning to the capital.
Wen Tiantian squinted at him, and the corners of her eyebrows twitched: "Do you eat it or not, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" β
Didn't she just glance at other men, she hadn't gone up to talk to her, why was she so careful?
"Don't eat it."
"Hmph, do you like to eat or not!"
A man with a careful eye is jealous at every turn!
Wen Tiantian used chopsticks to try to bring the beef back, but was suddenly intercepted.
"Don't snatch it from my bowl, eat this." Qiu Yan held her bowl to prevent her from moving, and then clamped a new piece for her.
Wen Tiantian ignored his little awkwardness, ate seriously, and was in no mood to look at the handsome guy, so she ate all the dishes and didn't leave them for him.
Anyway, the food in the palace is not bad, and the cook will naturally not starve their prince.
Qiu Yan was sullen, and her eyes glanced at the man in blue beside her. Of course, he didn't think that this person's appearance was accidental, he said goodbye last night, and saw him again today, this master must have waited for them here on purpose.
His goal should be Wen Tiantian!
