Chapter 12: Concubine Rou's thoughts

"Yes, of course he is hateful, but now that he is in power, what can we do about him? It's just silent. What's more, with the ruthless methods of the new emperor, it is a fluke to not want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it is a fluke to lay many traps, and now it is also a clear way to live and work in this town in peace. ”

Concubine Rou looked at Master Qi who was full of indignation, and then looked at Uncle Qi and Second Master Qi who seemed to be still stunned, as well as Mrs. Qi and Li and others, and said as if she had no intention of speaking.

But as soon as Master Qi heard her say this, he stood up with great indignation and said sharply:

"As a man, if I can't avenge my sister, then what's the use of me staying?

Of course, it is good to live and work in peace and contentment, but once I remember that my sister used to abide by the rules of etiquette and palace for the family all these years, but now because of the new emperor, she can't even preserve the honor of the queen, how can I be willing to live my life in this town?

Whether it's for my sister, for the Marquis of Mingyuan's mansion, or for my own heart, I can't do such a thing. ”

After that, Master Qi turned his head to look in the direction of Uncle Qi and Second Master Qi, and said:

"This is my obsession, now that the Marquis Mansion of Mingyuan has fallen, and the glory of the past is gone, I will naturally not take out the posture of the Marquis to force you to do what you don't want, but I have made up my mind, if you have other plans, settle here from now on."

Uncle Qi and Second Master Qi hurriedly knelt down and didn't dare to speak, but Mrs. Qi, who had been patient, stood up abruptly, her lips buzzed for a moment, her hands clenched into fists, as if she had finally mustered up her courage, and then slowly straightened up her spine and said to Master Qi:

"The father cares about the love of his brother and sister, and the daughter-in-law has nothing to say, but the uncle naturally does not dare to refute because of filial piety, but the daughter-in-law has something to say, at present, the strength of the two sides is very different, and the new emperor is in power, and he is the orthodox position.

And our Mingyuan Marquis Mansion is now like a lost dog, hiding everywhere, has my father forgotten how the officials humiliated and abused us along the way? Forget how we got out of it with all the hardships?

Now my father wants to take revenge, but this is tantamount to a moth to a fire, my father has made up his mind, and the uncle doesn't dare to speak, but the daughter-in-law only thinks that she is unfilial today.

I have a pair of children Yusheng and Zhenya, they were originally the sons and daughters of the Hou Mansion, they should have been pampered and grew up carefree, but they were displaced along the way, and now they have settled down a little, how can I bear to let them repeat the mistakes of the past?

The daughter-in-law is not filial, if the father insists on this, then the family will be separated, even if it is to eat chaff vegetables, but as long as it is safe, the daughter-in-law is willing to take Yusheng and Zhenya together. ”

After saying so many words in one go, Mrs. Qi seemed to have exhausted her strength, after all, Master Qi Yu Wei was still there, but for the sake of her own children, she had to do this.

She thought that Master Qi would be angry, but she didn't expect that he just sighed deeply, and then seemed to have been hit hard, and he stiffened his body.

At this time, Master Qi is like a real old man, you must know that no matter how anxious he is on the way, how simple the food and accommodation are, and how tortured the servants are, he has always had a strength in his heart, never showing weakness to others, and never groveling to bother.

"You are a motherly heart, how can I blame you? It's just that I'm unwilling!

That's my sister-in-law, so many years she entered the palace for the glory of the family, saying that it sounds like the queen's position, but she has been trapped in that harem all her life, and the glory to her is not a shackle?

Now that Jinglian is going to be deprived of her honor, how can I be willing to let her end up with such a humiliating identity. ”

Because the new emperor needs an orthodox identity to ascend the throne, but he was just a concubine with a humble mother, no more than the crown prince who has been in the position of prince for many years, and has always been the hope of the people and the will of the people.

Therefore, in order to suppress the crown prince vigorously, the new emperor convicted him of attempting to usurp the throne, so the prince was still demoted to a concubine after being sentenced to the so-called ambush.

Although the queen is the original queen of the first emperor and the mother of the new emperor today, according to the convention, she should be respected as the queen mother, but because she is the so-called mother of sinners, she was also deprived of the queen's dignity, and she was only buried in the concubine mausoleum as a concubine, and was not buried with the first emperor.

This is really a great humiliation for the queen, not to mention that she is still the original concubine, and she has respected the first emperor for many years, and the identity of the concubine tomb is not named, I don't know if it is the etiquette of the four concubines or the etiquette of the last class to choose the waiter and pick the woman.

But even if it is rough and rough, you can also think about it, the mansion of the Marquis of Mingyuan has been raided, the queen has no support in Beijing, and the other people have always been high and low, and it is just a hasty matter.

How could such a perfunctory Mingyuan Marquis Mansion be willing? He, who was born as the sister of the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, was later named the prince and princess, and later the first emperor succeeded to the throne and respected as the queen, how could he suffer this humiliation?

So no matter what, no matter how much he pays, he has to win the honor of his sister behind him.

But what the daughter-in-law said also makes sense? Is it really because of this obsession that the whole family has been harmed to return to the plight of displacement?

The children are still so young, and the daughter-in-law is right, he is an old man with no power and no power, what can he do?

I'm afraid that I will be interrogated clearly before I enter the capital, how can I enter the majestic palace, enter the side of the new emperor, and how can I avenge my sister?

In the final analysis, he is too useless, he can only rely on the merits of his ancestors to protect him, and now he has suddenly lost that identity, he is just an ordinary old man, no longer has any skills, just has such a heart.

Concubine Rou just stood aside quietly after speaking, at this time her face was as beautiful as a clear lotus, just standing there indifferently, but she had a moving beauty that could not be concealed.

It's just that at this moment, no one's eyes stayed on her for a moment, and everyone just looked at Master Qi with a concerned face.

In any case, Master Qi is a qualified patriarch, even if he denies himself, but over the years, when Master Qi was the Marquis of Mingyuan, he tried his best to teach everyone in the mansion, and gave the prince a stable and non-fighting uncle for power.

You must know how many princes have been pulled down from the throne because of the arrogance of their relatives, and the Marquis of Mingyuan's Mansion is already very worry-free.

Master Neiqi respects his wife, abides by the ancestral precepts of the family, and has never taken a concubine, let alone done such a thing as spoiling a concubine and killing his wife, so even if he is occasionally a little less sensitive, all the Qi family members respect him very much.

And Concubine Rou originally looked at Master Qi, whose eyes were full of indignation, and her eyes lit up, as if she saw some kind of hope.

But when she saw Mrs. Qi kneeling and pleading, and heard her talk about the bumps and displacements along the way, Concubine Rou thought about the hardships she had suffered along the way again, and then thought of the young children of the Qi family. She couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Seeing that Master Qi seemed to have been hit, she didn't want to say more to guide, maybe the queen's wish was that the Qi family could live and work in peace and contentment.

So she stood up, saluted Master Qi, and was about to say that she wanted to leave, but she saw a small person trotting towards Master Qi, and the beautiful woman next to her didn't hold her, only heard the immature child's voice speak:

"Grandfather, why should we be so worried, even if our identity is not enough now, and the prestige of the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion is no longer there, will our identity never be enough?

Have you forgotten what your grandfather had planned? Since we are weak, we might as well use our strength to help, and perhaps we can also contribute to the goal we want to achieve, which is a little more likely than my grandfather's lonely intention to go it alone, right? ”

Even though they have seen Qi Zhenzhen's intelligence many times these days, everyone was still stunned by Qi Zhenzhen's wisdom for a moment, only Master Qi muttered in a low voice: "Yipong? ”

They originally planned to rest in Nanding Town for a while, and then go to the West Hammer after replenishing their physical strength, where there are several forces entrenched, as well as the subordinates of their daughter-in-law's father, which can be regarded as somewhat related.

Maybe you can really use your strength? Old Man Qi quickly recalled in his mind that now they and the new emperor had already reached the point of incompatibility, and these entrenched forces were naturally beaten into thieves by the new emperor.

It's just that now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he still has no strength left to conquer them, but once he sits on the throne, how can these people live in peace like now.

So they must also be anxious, and they must want to find another reason, a reason to clarify that they are not anti-thieves, a reason for them to gain the support of the local people, and a reason for them to fight back.

That......

What about their family? What kind of existence is their Qi family in the eyes of these people? As the mother of the first emperor and empress, it is also a lord inherited from generation to generation, and the uncle of the former prince.

This identity is prominent enough, they have a natural identity, and they rely on orthodoxy, not to mention that the prince has participated in politics for many years in the past, not only is he virtuous and virtuous known to the government and the opposition, but also has some prestige among the people.

This is the virtue of the prince, and it is also the bargaining chip of their Qi family, as the prince's uncle's family, go to expose the conspiracy of the new emperor, and then respect the most ambitious and capable person as the new master, presumably they must also be willing to take the banner of the Qi family, and fight back openly in the name of the Qing monarch.

Zhen Zhen is really smart, a kind of intelligence beyond her years, this intelligence is not only her intelligence in poetry and books, but more importantly, she has a vision, a keen vision, beyond them.

At this moment, Qi Zhenzhen only felt that Master Qi's gaze on herself was a little less of her grandfather's warmth and love for her granddaughter, and a little more of her attention to similar strategists, she knew that this time she had won the bet again.

How can people listen to their own opinions as much as possible as a child? That is to only be a listener when you shouldn't speak, and speak when you should open your mouth the most, so that you can take the right to speak the whole audience and show your ability again in front of everyone.

Touching the eyes of Uncle Qi, Second Master Qi, and Mrs. Qi, who were all a little shocked, Qi Zhenzhen thought to herself, if she wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Qi family now, she would definitely have more confidence.
