Chapter 216: Husband and Wife Quarrel
As long as Han Qi is separated, Ouyang Xiu will get a lot of good things here, not that Han Qi is much better than Ouyang Xiu.
But compared to Han Qi's position, Ouyang Xiu is still neutral after all, and his attitude towards Empress Cao will not be as tough as Han Qi's.
Of course, Han Qi is old and refined after all, and he will be choked by Qi Heng in the court, so he didn't think about it carefully.
But after returning home, Han Qi felt that this matter seemed a little strange.
Yes, he and Empress Cao now have their own positions, so it is indeed normal for Qi Heng, as a supporter of Zhao Zonghan, to want to attack him.
But Empress Cao and Qi Heng should also know that as far as what they said in the court today, it is impossible to shake their position.
In this case, they still did it, so what is the purpose of this, it is not just to disgust themselves!
Just as Han Qi was thinking, someone went up the mountain to report that Zhao Ceying had come to visit.
Han Qi could also guess that it was estimated that Zhao Ceying would come over to ask about the affairs of the court, so he immediately asked people to invite him in.
Sure enough, just as Han Qi thought, Zhao Ceying came in to say hello, and asked directly, "Qi Heng suddenly participated in the court today, and the prime minister can know what his intentions are."
In front of Zhao Ceying, Han Qi always had to maintain some compulsion, so he didn't say that he didn't know.
And to be honest, at this stage, whether it is in the palace or outside the palace, his side is the dominant party, and he doesn't need to take risks at all.
It's completely possible to sit back and wait for the opponent to make a move, and then find an opportunity to win with one move.
So even if Qi Heng's actions have other meanings this time, it doesn't matter if you didn't guess it, anyway, it will take a long time, and there will always be flaws.
So he said: "Now that the official family is seriously ill again, Qi Heng's move is nothing more than to take the opportunity to disturb the situation, and it is estimated that even he himself never thought that it could really be done.
You go back and tell the eldest prince that he should focus on the palace and the camp in the western suburbs, and don't be distracted by this matter."
Hearing Han Qi's question, although Zhao Ceying vaguely felt that something was wrong, he really couldn't think of what the problem was.
However, thinking that Han Qi had been in the court for a long time after all, and he had more experience in officialdom than his father and son combined, he finally put his doubts aside and chose to believe in Han Qi's judgment.
"Okay, I'll tell my father about it when I get back and reassure him.
But then the Great Prime Minister is going to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and if you don't have anything to say to my father before that."
Han Qi thought for a moment and said, "The affairs of the court do not need to be worried about by the eldest prince for the time being.
The most important thing now is the opinion of the official family, so in the recent period, let the eldest prince run more in the palace, and do more filial piety in the official family, and don't let the little prince be beautiful."
Zhao Ceying replied, "Okay, I will definitely bring it back to my father."
At this time, the scene above the court today also spread all over Bianjing City with the return of officials in the court.
Especially because behind this incident, there is also a vague dispute between Zhao Zongquan and Zhao Zonghan over the inheritance, which makes this matter even more eye-catching. ….
Of course, the biggest reaction is estimated to be Gu Tingye's family, but their family's point may be a little biased.
There is no way, who made Gu Tingye a person who lacks love, because Minglan is generous and decent, virtuous and virtuous, although everyone envies him for marrying a good wife.
But Gu Tingye was still not satisfied, he always thought that the current Sheng Minglan was just the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, not Gu Tingye's wife.
This full of complaints, but he refused to say it to Minglan clearly, anyway, it was very hypocritical.
So this time, although there was no provocation by Mrs. Xiao Qin, and there was no concubine sent by Gu Tingye's aunt, the problems between the two still broke out.
Recently, Gu Tingye has been stirring up trouble, wanting to make Minglan jealous, or angry with him.
But Minglan doesn't eat his set, no matter what happens, she can always solve it calmly.
On the contrary, it made Gu Tingye quite helpless.

The situation was the same this time, during dinner, Gu Tingye mentioned the matter of the little grandfather in the court again, and wanted to use Qi Heng to stimulate Minglan Xia.
"Today, the little grandfather is too reckless in the court, and he directly said that the eldest prince of Han is colluding with the eldest prince.
It's almost clear that the two of them are going to seek to usurp the throne, don't you see how bad the face of Prime Minister Han was at that time, I guess the little grandfather will have a hard time in the future."
When he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Minglan 's face to see if there was any change.
It's just that the result was very disappointing to Gu Tingye, and he saw that Minglan didn't change his face at all, he only focused on eating, and he gave himself a few quick clips from time to time, but he didn't answer.
So Gu Tingye simply continued to arch the fire and said, "But it doesn't matter, the Duke of Qi and the Lord of Pingning are such powerful characters, and they are also very powerful in finding their in-laws.
The Shen family is a civil official Qingliu who has been hairpinned for generations, and he can say something in the court after all, plus Qi Guogong himself, it is no problem to protect the little grandfather.
And people say that the little grandfather's wife, Shen, is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and is a good wife who can prosper her husband and son.
With the assistance of such a good wife, the future of the little grandfather will definitely be smooth sailing."
Having said this, Minglan really couldn't help Gu Tingye's yin and yang weirdness, put down the fast son in his hand and said, "Didn't Master Hou go to the court today, how can he know so much news, it seems that he is really well-informed."
Gu Tingye said: "Who can stand firm in this court, who is not looking at all directions and listening to all directions.
Your marquis now has a solid foundation, and those who have the vision will naturally come to spread the news, and you think that everyone is like you, so you have no eyesight."
Hearing this, Minglan retorted, "The palace praises me for being gentle and kind, and my eyesight is naturally good."
Gu Tingye smiled at this time: "Praise you for being gentle and kind, that is your marquis who made the silver."
As soon as these words came out, Minglan finally burst out of the anger that had been suppressed, and immediately said, "In that case, then why did you marry me in the first place.
You already knew, it would be good if you didn't marry me, yin and yang all day long, I don't know what kind of nerves are born every day." ….
After finishing speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but he was hugged by Gu Tingye, who got up later, and said happily: "I, I, I've never seen you like this, are you really angry?"
You're so good, not pretending, not virtuous, I think you're so cute, I like you the way you look the most."
Minglan didn't care about the other words, but only heard Gu Tingye say that he was not virtuous, and immediately his voice involuntarily became angry, and he emphasized directly to Gu Tingye: "I'm not virtuous?"
That tone and expression are like the feeling of saying again, if you dare to say a word again, I will bite you.
But as a result, Gu Tingye said again, "Not virtuous."
This affirmative tone completely made Minglan furious, and said directly, "Master Hou is eating wine and eating lake."
After finishing speaking, he shook his hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Tingye.
said: "It's you who have been painted, it's that you've never been sober, I really like the way you are now, I must keep it in my heart and keep it in my heart."
This is true feelings, but in Minglan opinion, she feels that Gu Tingye is talking nonsense.
There is no way, Minglan is extremely inexperienced in feelings, and it is really difficult to understand what Gu Tingye wants to express.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, Gu Tingye has a lot of experience, and it's rare to get the feedback he wants today.
was happy in his heart, so he naturally dragged Minglan to the room and coaxed her all night.
However, yesterday this matter was indeed in the past, but Minglan still didn't understand Gu Tingye's thoughts, so she wanted to find someone to answer her questions.
So I started thinking
, who can you ask about this matter.
First of all, Minglan expelled the elders, and among the peers, Minglan was closest to Yu Yanran, but unfortunately she had married away from Beijing at this time.
The others are their own sisters, Hua Lan, Pinlan, Rulan, and then Zhang Guifen.
After thinking about it for a while, Minglan came to Li Hao's mansion and planned to discuss it with Zhang Guifen.
It's just that Minglan may overestimate Zhang Guifen a little, and Zhang Guifen doesn't have much experience in the relationship between men and women.
After all, the ancient environment advocated free love, and most men and women got married at the behest of their parents.
And at this time, the woman's own behavior environment is extremely limited, and the only way to understand the emotional story is from the script.
It's not like modern times, where you can fall in love a few more times and have personal experience.
Anyway, these two people pondered until the end, but they didn't come up with any useful results.
And not to mention this kind of thing outside the palace, there are also some changes in the palace at this time.
At night, in the Funing Palace, Empress Cao took care of Zhao Zhen by the bedside until she confirmed that Zhao Zhen was already asleep.
Zhu Neijian walked over and whispered beside Empress Cao, "Queen Mother, you are also very tired from looking at it.
It's better to go back and rest quickly, or if something happens to you, how can this happen.
There are servants here in the official family to watch, you can rest assured."
Hearing Zhu Neijian's words, Empress Cao did not refute it, after all, according to what Imperial Physician Song said, Zhao Zhen's body can last for a few more days, and there will be no accident at this time.
The most important thing to worry about is the next few days, when I am afraid that I will have to stay here, so it is really necessary to have a good rest now. ….
So he replied, "Okay, then I'll go back to Ciyuan Hall to rest first, but if there is any problem on the official side, you must notify me as soon as possible."
Seeing that Zhu Neijian nodded and agreed, Empress Cao drove back to the palace.
After Empress Cao walked away for a while, Zhao Zhen, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Zhu Neijian, the only one in the inner hall.
Of course, at this time, Zhu Neijian did not notice that Zhao Zhen was awake, but suddenly heard a gentle cough first.
Zhu Neijian immediately became alert, and hurriedly got up and walked to Zhao Zhen's side, intending to take a look at Zhao Zhen's situation, and then found that Zhao Zhen had woken up.
He immediately asked, "Official, are you feeling unwell, do you want me to send the imperial doctor over?"
Zhao Zhen didn't answer, just shook his head, and then asked a question abruptly, "Can I still trust you now?"
Hearing this question, Zhu Neijian was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the intention of Zhao Zhen's words, but still said, "The servant has been serving by your side since he entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and it has been forty years now.
If the ruler has any command, just say it, and the servants will obey it."
Zhao Zhen said again: "Even if this matter is related to the queen, and you need to hide things from the queen, you can do it."
To be honest, at this time, Zhu Neijian was really flustered, feeling that something big was going to happen.
But in the face of Zhao Zhen, Zhu Neijian finally said firmly: "As long as it is the official's order, the slave will definitely follow it, even the queen mother can't stop it."
Although Zhu Neijian has expressed his position, in Zhao Zhen's place, he is actually a little bottomless in his heart.
If it weren't for the last resort, the inner eunuchs that Zhao Zhen trusted the most, that is, the internal eunuchs who handed over the edict and talisman to Li Hao, were transferred by Empress Cao, and Zhao Zhen really didn't want to entrust the matter to Zhu's inner eunuchs.
It turned out that on the day Zhao Zhen was in a coma, he was actually not in a coma for that long.
In fact, after Imperial Physician Song finished taking the pulse, Zhao Zhen almost regained consciousness, and he was originally about to speak to attract attention.
As a result, he heard the conversation between Imperial Physician Song and Empress Cao, and knew that he had only the last few days left in his life.
At that time, Zhao Zhen's mind was really blank, and the whole person was stunned.
It wasn't until Cao Jingxiu's arrival that Zhao was awakened again
Zhen, let Zhao Zhen listen to Queen Cao's plan.
After learning all this, Zhao Zhen was really very sad.
Zhao Zhen knew that Empress Cao wanted Zhao Zonghan to succeed him, but Zhao Zhen never thought that in order to achieve this goal, Empress Cao would dare to conceal her true illness and intend to cause the established facts.
At that time, Zhao Zhen was about to roar out directly and ask Queen Cao why she was doing this to herself.
But when he heard that Zeng Chaosheng and Bi Zhongyou had already taken refuge in Empress Cao, Zhao Zhen immediately suppressed his impulse.
So Zhao Zhen planned to get in touch with the people of the foreign dynasty first, get out of the control of Empress Cao, and then deal with the matter.
So Zhao Zhen pretended to be unconscious for a while, and then chose the right time to wake up.
As a result, Zhao Zhen found that the old people he trusted the most were all transferred away by Queen Cao.
The reason is that these people follow them all the year round, and let them go to the Tianhe Temple to copy scriptures and pray for blessings, which is more pious and effective.
Of course, whether this was intentional or unintentional, Zhao Zhen can't make a judgment now.
Anyway, Zhao Zhen mentioned it to Queen Cao later, saying that he wanted them to come back to serve a few times, so that they would be more used to it.
But she was rejected by Queen Cao, saying that once the blessing begins, it can't be stopped, and you must do it for five days before doing it, otherwise it will be harmful.
Zhao Zhen didn't want to force it at this time, so as not to make Empress Cao suspicious.
As for choosing Zhu Neijian in the end, Zhao Zhen really has no choice.
After all, if you really want to follow what Imperial Doctor Song said, there are only seven days left in his life, and Zhao Zhen really can't afford to wait for those five days.
After some verbal testing, Zhao Zhen could only say, "I want you to find a way to go out of the palace and help me spread the news..."
