Chapter 122: Princesses, Are You in a Hurry?
Ah Fang took off the phoenix crown on his head and put it on the table, revealing the face of Empress Daqin.
Ah Fang's appearance is not ugly, but it is really not very beautiful.
The eyes are slightly bigger, the face is slightly wider, and the complexion is slightly darker, not to mention compared with the concubines of the First Emperor, even compared with most of the palace maids, Ah Fang's appearance does not have the upper hand.
In this harem of beautiful women, Ah Fang's appearance can only be said to be middle and lower, which is really not brilliant at all.
But on the contrary, the First Emperor chose her as the master of the Great Qin Harem and chose her to be the Empress of Great Qin.
Even when Ah Fang was infertile and would have nothing to do in his life, the First Emperor still did not think about abolishing the queen.
The first emperor asked all the sons and princesses in the harem to recognize Ah Fang as their mother and call Ah Fang as their mother.
has no children, but the other concubines in the harem are all daughters of the house.
The first emperor treated Ah Fang so well.
Ah Fang is in the back position, unshakable.
When Ying Fusu heard this, a helpless look appeared on his face.
Dazheng Palace is the Yingfu Su Dormitory, which is a whole palace with multiple rooms inside.
The room entered from the front hall, passed through the middle hall, went around the side hall, and entered the back hall.
She looked at all the seven rooms of Dazheng Palace, stared at Yingfu Su's new bed and said, "The color of this bed ......."
Walking up to the edge of the bed and touching the wood, Ah Fang's eyes flashed with a different color.
"I see, this wood is different from the wood in my dormitory. According to the regulations, all the beds in the palace should be rosewood, and this is elm. β
Ah Fang's voice was soft and soft.
But when a person can easily decide the life and death of others, no matter how gentle the person's voice is, it is full of majesty in the ears of those who cannot help themselves in life and death.
The two eunuchs trembled, their eyes shifted, and they lowered their heads and shivered softly.
"Bold! The queen asked, but no one responded, do you all want to die? β
The maid of the house looked angry, glanced at all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace of Yingfu Su, and reprimanded.
Just looking at the surface, she is more majestic than Queen Afang.
Ying Fusu sighed lightly, stepped forward slowly, and said, "Queen Mother, it is the son who likes the elm bed, and he ordered someone to change it."
When the two eunuchs standing against the wall heard this, their hearts were settled, their breathing gradually calmed down, and their bodies no longer trembled.
They lowered their heads, not seeing the angry rebuke of the maid, and their eyes stayed on them for a longer breath.
"You like elm beds." The queen repeated, "Then tell the queen mother, why don't you like rosewood and elm."
Where does Ying Fusu know the difference between rosewood and elm.
He studied Confucianism and read hundreds of classics, and he would know this kind of knowledge that only carpenters would know.
After pondering for a moment, Fang said: "The pear bed used by Fusu before was roasted by charcoal fire, and there were many cracks in many places. Fusu used a lot of strength one day and broke the pear bed. When they were asked to change their beds, they were asked to make them of elm wood. β
Ah Fang chuckled.
"The wood fragrance of rosewood has the purpose of calming the nerves and helping sleep, although the wood is easy to be eaten by insects, but it is not easy to dry by nature."
Ying Fusu's face turned red and he wanted to say something.
Tuk Tuk~
Ah Fang knocked on the elm bed, listened to the dull sound of the elm, and said, "And the grain of the elm is very beautiful, and the hardness and toughness are also good." If you say that you like the pattern, the queen mother will believe it. But you prefer to say charcoal baking, drying and cracking. The disadvantage of Fusu and elm is that the dryness is not beautiful. β
Ah Fang looked around at the elm bed, pointed to the elm bed a little with one hand, and beckoned Su to come over with the other.
Ying Fusu approached, and looked at Ah Fang's finger, which was a small crack.
Ah Fang touched Ying Fusu's head and said softly: "The queen mother told you that elm wood is more likely to crack than rosewood."
Ying Fusu's face was scornful.
Ah Fang glanced sideways at the maid beside him.
The maid understood and walked in front of the two eunuchs who were trembling just now.
grabbed the placket of a eunuch's shirt with one hand and pulled it vigorously.
The two eunuchs were dragged to their knees.
The maid said angrily: "Who gave you the courage to dare to replace pineapple wood with elm wood!"
The two eunuchs glanced at each other and exchanged glances - pushing the matter onto the eldest son.
While kowtowing to Ah Fang, he explained loudly.
"Wronged! It was the eldest son who asked the villains to change! β
"The two of us are exactly as the eldest son ordered!"
Ying Fusu turned his head, looked at the appearance of the two eunuchs, showed a trace of unbearability, and said to Ah Fang: "Fusu mistakenly thinks that elm wood is much drier than rosewood, so he made this mistake and didn't do their business."
When the two eunuchs heard this, they cried out for injustice, their voices became louder and their confidence was stronger.
Ah Fang listened to the shouts of the two eunuchs, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he still nodded gently at the maid.
The maid got Afang's permission and immediately shouted: "If you dare to deceive the queen, you will be killed!"
The two eunuchs were shocked.
"Wronged! The eldest son saves me and waits! β
"Eldest son, both of us act according to the words and deeds of the eldest son, and there is no half a lie!"
"Wait!"
Ying Fusu stopped the queen's maid who wanted to go out and call Lang Guan in and drag the two eunuchs away.
He bowed deeply to the queen Afang and said, "Queen Mother, this fact is Fusu's fault. If the queen mother is punished, she will punish Su Keye. β
"You have studied Confucianism since childhood, which Confucian classic wants you to deceive your parents? If you want to do this unrighteous thing again, I will invite your majesty to come here. Let's see if this pineapple wood turned into elm wood is your mistake, or the fault of these two eunuchs. β
This time, before Ying Fusu could speak, the two eunuchs were already in tears, and they knelt down and crawled to the feet of Ah Fang.
"The queen is angry, the queen is angry, it is the two of us who are obsessed with money, and I will replace the pineapple wood with elm wood!"
"This matter has nothing to do with the eldest son, it's all my fault!"
The two took the initiative to admit their mistakes because they knew.
The queen's punishment was to drag them out and be killed with a rod, and only two of them were killed.
If the First Emperor came and knew that they not only stole the property in the palace, but also dared to blame the eldest prince for the mistake, it would definitely destroy the three clans.
Dead one or three dead, anyone will settle this account.
Ah Fang looked at Ying Fusu and said, "What else do you want to say to the queen mother?"
Ying Fusu said: "There is a saying in the Analects: The father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is directly in it. It means that the father hides it for the child, and the child hides it for the father, and integrity is in it. Today, Fusu concealed his mother for his two lives, which was also an upright move. It's just a little possessions, so why ruin the lives of the two of them, and ask the queen mother to forgive them. β
Ah Fang sat on the bed of Ying Fusu, pulled Ying Fusu to sit down, sniffed and said, "In recent days, there is no wood fragrance of pineapple wood, can my son sleep?"
"No discomfort."
"If the queen mother is here, she will not sleep well. I went back to the dormitory today, and I couldn't sleep well. β
Ah Fang stared at the two eunuchs who were kneeling in front of her, frightened and begging for mercy.
"My son is deceived by others, how can he sleep peacefully as a mother."
"Queen Mother's ......"
"Let me ask you again, why is Da Zheng Palace so deserted."
At this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids are combined, and there are thirteen people, which is really not deserted.
But in terms of the specifications of the eldest son of Yingfu Su Daqin, this number is much less, and there must be at least twenty-two people on duty.
"The night is dark, Fusu doesn't need so many people to wait, I want them to go back first."
"Did you ask for it, or did they ask for it?" Ah Fang looked at Ying Fusu's eyes and said, "Don't deceive the queen mother again, otherwise I will have to invite your father and emperor to come here."
ββ¦β¦ It was they who said that they were unwell and asked to come back earlier, but Fusu personally agreed, and the queen mother did not want Fusu to become a person who did not believe in his word. β
Fang got up.
Where her eyes see, where the eunuchs are, the palace maid will lower her head and dare not look directly at her.
Empress Daqin walked two steps slowly, turned her back to Yingfu Su and said, "You have been locked up by your uncle for ten years, and you still don't go out?" In the future, if the queen mother thinks of you, she still needs to come to Dazheng Palace in person, which is not in line with the 'etiquette' you have learned. β
ββ¦β¦ Please forgive the queen mother, it is not that Fusu does not want to leave the Dazheng Palace. But as soon as Fusu left, there were hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan far away, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Dazheng Palace were all killed because of Fusu. β
"So, you can nest in Da Zheng Palace with peace of mind? If one day your uncle wants to kill your mother, you can't get out of Dazheng Palace? β
ββ¦β¦ Uncle wouldn't do that. β
"How can an emperor be coerced?"
Ah Fang dropped a sentence, started lightly, and said as he walked.
"The queen mother can not execute these two eunuchs today, but from this day on, the queen mother will always think that my son has been deceived and it is difficult to sleep. Fusu, do you want the queen mother to sleep peacefully, or do you want to save his two lives. β
Ying Fusu followed behind Queen Afang, with a wry smile on her face.
He didn't want Ah Fang to sleep badly, but he didn't want to kill the two eunuchs for this.
"The queen mother is relieved, such a thing will never happen again in the future."
"The two of them exchanged elm wood for pineapple wood, stole the property in the palace, and the queen mother executed him, and the two of them did not comply with the palace regulations? Is it the indiscriminate killing of the queen mother? Is it the mother's fault? β
"The queen mother is naturally not a person who kills indiscriminately, everything she does is in line with the rules of the palace, what is wrong? But after all, these are two lives, can they be punished with three rods? β
Ah Fang stopped and turned his head to look at Ying Fusu, who was dodging his gaze behind him.
Great Qin ruled the country according to the law, and ruled the world with this, and the laws in the Qin State were meticulous and extremely strict.
The two eunuchs who stole the property in the palace should be killed with a rod according to the Qin law.
Ying Fusu, as the eldest son of Great Qin, openly said such things and took the lead in violating Qin's laws.
To put it more broadly, this belongs to the fundamental pry of the Qin State.
If Ying Fusu had been firmly pardoning the two, there would still be some overbearing implications, and it would be much better than saying that the punishment would be replaced - the final interpretation of Qin Law was in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor would not be able to use Qin Law in a word.
Ah Fang looked at Yingfu Su's five breaths.
Ying Fusu knew that he was at a loss, and he lacked confidence, so he didn't dare to look at Ah Fang's eyes.
"Yes."
Ah Fang said softly in Ying Fusu's surprised and stunned eyes.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Yingfu Su gave a deep salute.
"Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Queen! β
"Empress Xie is extrajudicially gracious! Spare my life! β
The two eunuchs were overjoyed and kept authentic.
They only thanked Queen Afang, and said nothing to the eldest son Ying Fusu, who had been working hard for the lives of the two of them.
The maid of Afang went out and called the Erlang official in.
The two Lang officials dragged the two eunuchs to the open space in front of the Dazheng Palace.
The two eunuchs were dragged along, their eyes full of joy.
Today, it is a blessing in disguise, and after receiving three rods, he can use this to say to the eldest son that he will rest for half a month.
Knowing this, we should have been more bold and replaced pineapple wood with cheaper wood.
The two eunuchs didn't think at all that Ying Fusu would agree to their request.
It seems that as long as they ask, Ying Fusu will inevitably agree.
in their hearts.
There is the joy of picking up a life, the joy of taking a break for half a month, and the regret of not being bolder when changing wood.
There is no gratitude to Ying Fusu, no apprehension about making mistakes, and no regret for stealing property in the palace.
The two eunuchs were thrown to the ground by Lang Guan, who was about to start imposing a cane.
"Slow."
The queen who walked to the gate of Dazheng Palace called a stop.
"The Queen Mother?"
Ying Fusu hurriedly spoke, he was afraid that Ah Fang would regret it.
Ah Fang smiled at Yingfu Su, pointed to his maid and said, "Let the bottle hit."
Ying Fusu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The queen mother is benevolent."
Ying Fusu thought that his queen mother was afraid that Lang Guan would be too heavy and break the two eunuchs.
A Lang official handed the court staff to the maid who was called a bottle by Ah Fang.
When handing over the staff, he saw that the bottle looked very beautiful, and he carefully advised.
"This staff is a little heavier."
The bottle smiled.
"No problem."
Lang Guan saw the bottle smile at close range, his face was slightly red, and he secretly said that it was so beautiful, and his heart jumped uncontrollably.
Just as he bowed his head, his hand was light, and the staff had changed hands.
He looked up and saw that the staff, which he could only open with both hands in his hand, had been picked up by the bottle with one hand.
Call~
The court staff pierced the night sky, bringing out two whistling winds, blowing the hair on the forehead of the official to one side.
Bang~
The staff of the court rested on the two eunuchs, and there were two extremely heavy and muffled sounds.
But this muffled sound sounded like a violent thunderbolt in the ears of these Lang officials.
There is a saying for the rod.
Some people die after receiving ten blows, while others suffer fifty blows without incident.
It all depends on how Lang Guan fights.
There were too many fights, and the officials could judge from the sound whether this was a dead hand or a show.
The nearby Lang officials all looked at the petite bottle, but could pick up the staff with one arm, and the corners of their eyes jumped.
With so much strength, this kind of sound is a sound that kills people......
Just now, he also reminded the bottle of the heavy cane, and he looked at the smiling bottle at the moment.
and the staff that was in the bottle, held in one hand, was beaten by these two rods and all the beautiful thoughts.
"I'm done, you guys fight."
The two Lang officials who were in charge of the cane looked at the two eunuchs who were lying on the ground, tilting their heads with difficulty and trying to turn around.
Your cane hit the back of these two people's hearts, and when you hear the sound, you know that you have broken the hearts of these two people, what else are we fighting......
Bottler stuffed the court staff into Lang Guan's hand and returned to the queen.
"Tomorrow, your father and emperor will hold a big banquet in the Xuanniao Palace, divide the vassals, and order all Confucian students to participate."
Ah Fang whispered to Ying Fusu, walked out of the Dazheng Palace, and said as he walked: "I govern the country in Great Qin, rely on the law and not rely on Confucianism, and the laws of Qin cannot be violated."
Ying Fusu is also a person who practices martial arts, and when he saw Afang's maid bottled with one arm and a cane, he knew it was not good.
But before he could speak, the two court rods had already fallen on the two eunuchs.
Before Ying Fusu could recover from this shock, he heard Ah Fang tell him about the first emperor holding a banquet in the Xuanyao Hall tomorrow.
Qin used the Xuanniao as a totem.
Xuanniao Palace, from the name, you know that the status of this palace in the Qin State will definitely not be low.
In fact, the Xuanyao Hall is the largest palace in Xianyang Palace, and it is the palace that will only be used to hold the highest standard banquet.
The first emperor didn't like Confucianism, and Ying Fusu didn't know.
However, this kind of highest-level banquet held in the Xuanyao Palace, the First Emperor allowed all Confucian scholars to participate.
This kind of honor is definitely not something Confucianism deserves, and Ying Fusu knows what it means.
The father wanted to exterminate Confucianism......
"The eldest son......"
The two Lang officials didn't fight for a while, and dragged the two eunuchs who were already dazed to Ying Fusu.
They are abdicating their responsibilities.
It's none of my brother's business......
Ying Fusu was woken up from his standstill, and took a deep breath when he looked at the two eunuchs who were already dead.
Ying Fusu wanted to say that he was buried thickly.
But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by Ying Fusu.
These two people have indeed committed a crime......
"Give more money to his family."
"Yui."
Ying Fusu wanted to chase out and ask the queen Afang, who had not gone far, about the details of tomorrow's banquet.
As soon as there was a trend of stepping out of the gate of Dazheng Palace, a group of eunuchs and palace maids stopped him.
"The eldest son has mercy on our lives."
"Ask the eldest son to return to the palace."
"Please don't leave the Great Zheng Palace."
Ying Fusu froze, nodded silently, turned around and walked back to Dazheng Palace.
After taking two steps, he said, "Call those eunuchs who are resting, and the palace maids will come back on duty."
"Eldest son, it's late at night......"
"They just fell asleep ......"
"It's better to call ...... when you change shifts"
Ying Fusu suddenly became angry.
"That's what they're supposed to do! Tell them to get up! β
"Yui!"
"Yui!"
"Yui!"
Listening to the unprecedented happy response behind him, Yingfu Su suddenly felt a lot more bored and happy in his heart.
After taking three more steps, he turned around.
Looking at these eunuchs and palace maids, they said seriously: "I will go out of the Great Zheng Palace, and everyone will die, who said this?"
"Chang'an-kun."
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at the somewhat unfamiliar eldest son, and said in unison.
Ying Fusu nodded, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes that had never appeared in his eyes.
If I don't leave the Great Zheng Palace, I can't stop my father from killing Confucianism.
At that time, the teacher will die, Dr. Fu will die, and all the Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s present will die.
If you leave the Great Zheng Palace, these people will die.
But it was my uncle who killed them, not me......
If I insist on protection, can my uncle really kill him?
The day passed quickly.
The night was dark.
Xianyang City entered a curfew, and there was a dead silence.
But Xianyang Palace, Xuanyao Palace.
The lights are brighter than daylight.
The First Emperor took Empress Afang's hand and entered the Xuanyao Palace.
Everyone didn't bow their heads again this time, but all looked at the First Emperor with blank eyes.
This scene is very similar to the company's annual meeting, where the company's employees sit below, waiting for the company's boss to give bonuses.
The First Emperor did not wear a crown of heaven today, and his face was not as majestic as in the past, and he did not even wear a black crown robe.
He was only wearing a black linen suit, which was the same material as the clothes worn by ordinary people of the Qin Kingdom, but there were no patches on it.
Such a first emperor is no longer like a god, but more like a human.
The First Emperor entered the hall with a smile, looked around at the ministers, and said the first sentence jokingly.
"Princess, are you in a hurry?"
β¦β¦
