Chapter 174: Punishment
Concubine Xian reacted in just a moment, she sneered: "Such a broken flower and a willow, even if you want to marry for the second time, it stands to reason that you should quietly send away a sedan chair, they are good, not ashamed, but proud, and make things boiling, thinking that this is a good thing, what a joke!" Since they are so shameless, then just fulfill them, anyway, since the Feng family will ask to marry such people, it means that they don't care about their careers and futures. ”
Now that Concubine Xian has just received the benefits of Queen Shao, of course she has to share her worries for Queen Shao.
People give you benefits, and of course you have to reciprocate.
Concubine Xian reassured Empress Shao: "Don't worry, since they like to be vigorous, let them be really vigorous." ”
Empress Shao smiled slightly: "It's still the virtuous concubine who is reassuring, no wonder she can take care of palace affairs so well." ”
The two exchanged glances and both smiled.
After going back, Concubine Xian let Chang Gonggong in, and then explained a few words in a low voice.
Father-in-law Chang had always been a man of few words, but when he heard Concubine Xian say these words, he couldn't help but immediately suggest: "Niangniang, now when the prince is busy, if he is asked to do this, I am afraid that he will anger the saint at that time!" ”
Concubine Xian actually asked him to go to King Lu and spread rumors about the Feng family and the Shao family.
I don't know what to think.
King Lu is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, the most important thing to do is to stay at home in An'an, and then pray to the heavens that the matter of the seven princesses and relatives will go smoothly this time.
In this way, King Lu can get a respite.
It's just a chance.
If you still commit crimes against the wind now, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?
Concubine Xian rubbed her eyebrows: "There is no way in this palace, the queen is a member of the Shao family, the Lu family is a family business, this is not getting married, this is slapping the Shao family's face." If Lu Mingxi really married Feng Yao, where would he put the Shao family? The Shao family has to go crazy! ”
She has the benefits of Queen Shao, and now she is controlled by others, where is the choice.
After a pause, Concubine Xian sighed: "Let him be careful, don't do it yourself, just find someone else to do it." ”
Since she said so, Chang Gonggong also knew that he had no room to refuse, so he could only agree.
But although he was embarrassed, King Lu was not disgusted when he got the news.
Not to mention anything else, he really hated the Lu family to death.
If he could kill the Lu family, he would have taken action a long time ago.
What's more, it's still sold to the queen for favors.
He snorted and handed over the matter to the Gao family.
I was busy asking Father-in-law Chang how the matter of the seven princesses and relatives in the palace was now.
Father-in-law Chang also just came out of the palace, and the seventh princess just went to the imperial study, and the cabinet didn't know what the attitude was, so he shook his head honestly and said that he didn't know yet.
King Lu was upset, but now in such a situation, there was no other way but to wait.
He raised his eyebrows, nodded indiscriminately, and sent Grandpa Chang away.
The funeral was still going on in the house, and seeing that the arrangements used in Princess Lu's funeral had not been demolished, Chang Gonggong shook his head and left without saying anything.
In the evening, Emperor Yongchang finally finished his state affairs and went out, when he heard a report from Gong Feng, saying that someone had come from the Empress Dowager's palace and asked him to go to the Empress Dowager's palace.
He answered and drove the Palace of Mercy and Grace.
When she arrived at the Ci'en Palace, Empress Dowager Cui was eating, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?" From which palace? ”
"I just came from the front of the imperial study." Emperor Yongchang smiled: "I haven't gone to other palaces yet, so I came directly to you, the queen mother." Your food here is delicious, and I just happened to rub it off. ”
Empress Dowager Cui smiled and glanced at Mama Wenhua.
Mama Wenhua hurriedly went outside to ask the small kitchen to cook some more dishes.
Emperor Yongchang took advantage of the situation and sat next to the Empress Dowager Cui.
Empress Dowager Cui personally served a bowl of soup for him and asked, "Is it for the sake of Dongying's envoys to ask for relatives?" ”
Emperor Yongchang took a sip of ginseng soup and pulled the corners of his mouth coldly: "Yes, the envoy of Dongying has a firm attitude and asks to marry the princess of our dynasty, and also says that if he does not agree, then the coastal troubles will become more and more intense." They were already in collusion with those traitors, and if they really insisted on going their own way to the dark, then there would indeed be some trouble. ”
Empress Dowager Cui looked down at the soup in her bowl, and asked expressionlessly: "Then Xiao Qi went to the imperial study to beg you, saying that she was willing to make peace, what do you think about the cabinet?" ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Yongchang's expression softened slightly: "Those people in the cabinet, the queen mother should know better than her son, they just want to exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest benefit, what princess, for them, of course, is not as important as the subjects and the people on the border." ”
Of course, this is indeed the case.
After all, the community is important, and the monarch is light.
As a member of the royal family, born in the emperor's family, and enjoying the worship of all the people, of course, he should also bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
Empress Dowager Cui put down the soup spoon and sighed with a frown: "So, are they more inclined to agree to Dongying's envoy's courtship?" ”
The envoys of Dongying are not a good thing.
The daimyo behind them doesn't know what kind of character they are.
If the seventh princess marries, it's over.
Empress Dowager Cui felt bored for a while.
Emperor Yongchang shook his head: "It's not like that, Lai Shoufu and Xu Cifu don't agree, they say that since the establishment of the Taizu Dynasty, there has never been a matter of harmony, let alone marrying a princess of our country." It is not wrong that the princess of the dynasty enjoys the worship and also bears the obligation. But the princesses of our Great Zhou have neither Tang Muyi nor fiefdoms, how can they compare with the princesses who enjoyed all the glory of the previous dynasty? What's more, it is a small country in Dongying that is asking to marry, such a small country is capricious, it may be able to make peace with you today, but it may turn its face tomorrow, this kind of country's commitment must not be taken seriously. ”
Empress Dowager Cui couldn't help but smile a little when she heard this, she heard what Emperor Yongchang meant, and asked, "What do you mean, Emperor?" ”
"I?" Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager Cui looked at each other and smiled: "Queen Mother, you should know about me, although I dare not compare with Taizu, but I will never dare to go against Taizu's teachings, his old man's hard-earned foundation, if he needs to sell his daughter to maintain, how can I still have the face to go down to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future?" What's more, the courtiers still know that the Dongying people are capricious and incompatible, and it is not worth giving up a princess in exchange for this peace for an unknown amount of time, let alone me? Xiao Qi is my biological daughter, and I will never allow her to be trampled on! ”
Empress Dowager Cui exhaled heavily.
