Chapter Eighty-Five: Auspicious Rainfall from the Sky
Half of the people in the capital have seen the auspicious things in the queen's Changle Palace, and the people have talked about it, but for a long time, everyone in the capital knows that the queen is a fairy sent by the sky to assist the emperor, and the prince in her belly is also a unicorn child.
The war more than ten years ago emptied the treasury and made the first emperor die of overwork, but the foundation of the country is still there, and the emperor has only been on the throne for ten years, and the people's lives are getting better and better.
Of course, the harem concubines also saw the vision of Changle Palace, and as soon as their restless thoughts became active, they were directly cut off by Si Tianjian Tianjiao's auspicious words, gritting their teeth, and throwing things.
Later, it came out of the mouth of the little apprentice of the palace Si Tianjian that the Ming family, the veteran level of the Three Dynasties, would threaten to match the queen and the little prince, and the people began to talk about it again.
First of all, a steward of the plum garden said that when Ming Jiazhen and her friends walked in the snow to find plums in winter, Ming Jiazhen had a strange phenomenon of reptiles on her body in winter; Later, some people remembered that several young masters of the Ming family had accidents one after another in one day, and they were either disabled or stupid; Some good deeds focused on Ming Jiazhen's naked appearance on the stage at the Spring Festival banquet.
Later, someone in the teahouse turned out the matter of the Ming family's big house and said that the Ming family's big house lady was angry with the original match, and also put rumors to insult the married commander's wife, but the truth was found out, the Ming family master was demoted to a concubine, and the Ming family's big house later disappeared.
After three days of fermentation of public opinion, some of the black history of the Ming family was picked up, and the deeds were known to everyone, and the people thought that the Ming family was unknown, and some of them were extremely direct and unashamed to say, "Please stay away from the Ming family and stay away from the ominous for the sake of the queen mother and the unborn little prince." ”
This love letter was jointly written by several hot-blooded young scholars and handed over to the Inspectorate, who was so hot that it hurriedly handed it over to the emperor when he was in court.
The emperor opened it in front of the important ministers and asked Defu to read it aloud, the love letter was not long, but every word was attacking the Ming family to defend the queen and the little prince, as if the queen and the little prince were the belief in peace in the world.
The emperor glanced at Elder Ming without a trace, asked Defu to put away the love letter, and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Aiqing, what do you have to say?" ”
The ministers who could speak in the court lowered their heads one by one and were as quiet as chickens, the emperor admired the clear and flamboyant words on the love letter, and a few familiar words mixed into it, raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Juelu, Ye Jielu quietly glanced at each other with several officials and imperial historians.
Immediately, a speaker stood up, "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that it is better to believe it than to believe it!" ”
Then he found out the words of a colleague who strongly supported him, "Back to the emperor, the Si Tianjian of all dynasties and dynasties are all really talented and talented people, who can get a glimpse of one or two heavenly opportunities, relying on this ability to spy on heavenly opportunities, so that I can avoid natural disasters in advance for a hundred years and solve problems for the emperor, the minister thinks that Si Tianjian's words must not be believed!" ”
Someone started, and the next words were much smoother, most of the officials and imperial histories persuaded the emperor to believe that he had it, and every word was vibrant, and most of the court felt that it made sense, and the pro-emperor party on the bright side was justified in saying bad things about the family in front of the old man Ming, and they asked the emperor to isolate the Ming family first.
Old Master Ming didn't speak with a gloomy face, and his people also jumped out one after another, opening their mouths to talk nonsense, blowing their beards and glaring back, and bitterly persuading the emperor not to easily listen to slander, so he almost pointed to the nose of the person who explained the bad words of the boss and scolded them for their gossip to deceive the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, Si Tianjian Jianzheng's words are ridiculous at all, the queen mother and the little prince have always been healthy, how can it be that it is not good because of Lord Ming? What's more, the elders of the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty have guarded the court for many years, and most of their lives have been in the court, and they are all for the people of the world, how can it be a scourge! There must be a conspiracy of people with bad intentions, please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the supervision of Si Tianjian to prevent innocent people from instigating between the monarch and the ministers! ”
The emperor looked at the man's familiar and resolute face, a casual smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I, I believe that Lord Ming, all Aiqing are full of poetry and books, and they have walked in front of me step by step by relying on their full stomach, as the pillars of the country, they should use their own hands to avoid disasters and blessings for the people of the world, instead of blindly believing in the ethereal celestial phenomena." ”
Old Man Ming's face was much softer, and before he thanked the emperor for his trust, he heard a speech official jump out and mock: "Back to the emperor, if the minister is not mistaken, seven years ago, the heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River was flooded, the embankment was discharged, and the people were displaced and suffered from illness. ”
"In the end, it has to be the mother brother of the queen's mother, the prince of Dingguo is not afraid of difficulties and dangers to go to Jiangnan for disaster relief, but Lord Ming still remembers that the silver for disaster relief does not know where it went?"
Five years ago, the queen's mother's family was not Dingguogong, just a Yong'en Hou, as the queen's mother's family, there are many places to avoid suspicion, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will cause unnecessary trouble to the emperor and queen, so the queen's brothers and sisters are usually very low-key.
Seven years ago, the flood in Jiangnan gave the emperor a headache, and the queen was also worried, and it happened that Ye Juelu couldn't get away from his body and couldn't go to Jiangnan, fortunately, the Yong'an Hou Mansion at that time had a business passing through there, and saw the tragic situation in the world at that time, and sent a letter back to Beijing, and the queen's parents and brothers couldn't bear to worry about this matter every day, and the people suffered innocently, so they resolutely brought money, food and manpower to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
The old man of Ming was criticized by the emperor for not doing a good job, and it took three years to wait for the opportunity to spend some money to sit in the position of prefect, but afterwards, the officials who impeached him were either dismissed or forced to resign within three years.
And the queen's mother's family has made meritorious contributions to Sheji, and was rewarded by the emperor as the Duke of Dingguo from the Marquis of Yongen, which is also the reason why Ye Juelu made Ming Lanying feel at ease at the Spring Festival Banquet.
Now that the old things are brought up again, Old Man Ming's just gentle face is difficult to look at, and his low eyes are faintly murderous, staring at the official.
The ministers only remembered the harm of that time, if it weren't for the fact that Master Ming recommended his eldest son, Jiangnan's losses would not be so much, although Lord Ming has now been retributed, demoted to a wasted person, and cannot do anything for life, but this incident still made some people shake their views on Lord Ming.
The neutral Qingliu faction also felt that what Si Tian Jian Zheng said was right, and the Ming family was indeed a disaster.
Old Master Ming knelt down tremblingly, a handful of age but full of energy, "Back to the emperor, seven years ago, it was the old minister who had no eyes and was fooled by my uncompetitive eldest son, and now he has been punished, and what he did has nothing to do with the Ming family!" ”
"As for Si Tianjian's words, the old minister thinks that he thinks about the country wholeheartedly, and he has never slacked off, let alone do anything that endangers the queen and the little prince, please let the emperor know it!"
The emperor had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his half-closed eyes were full of coldness, what Old Master Ming said was so good, they knew each other that there was only a thin fig leaf left, and they just tore their faces when the time came.
"Aiqing, get up, as a veteran of my three dynasties, Master Ming has been in the court for most of his life, I feel his hard work, but there is nothing wrong with Si Tianjian being abiding by his duties, this time I should not have such a thing, do you have anything else to do?"
The ministers looked at each other without saying a word, and pressed down on this matter first according to the emperor's wishes, and other serious things should be done or had to be done.
There was nothing important this morning except for the affairs of the Ming family, but it was also delayed until almost noon, and Ye Jielu didn't have time to go back to the house for lunch, so he hurried to the Praetorian Guard barracks to deal with military affairs, and ate a big pot of rice in the barracks at noon and waited for the afternoon exercises.
As soon as the deputy envoy brought his lunch to the study, a small soldier came to report that the commander's wife had brought food.
Before the deputy envoy could react, Ye Jielu directly dropped his pen and ran to greet him, and the deputy envoy somehow saw a feeling of joy from his back, like a dog that had been waiting for the owner to come and see it for a long time.
The deputy envoy slapped himself with his backhand, how could he think of their great Commander Ye like this, the Commander's wife came to deliver food to Commander Ye in person, it must be Commander Ye's wife!
The commander's wife came to deliver food to the commander, and soon half of the military camp knew about it, and as soon as Ye Jielu ran to the gate of the barracks, Ming Lanying saw the soldiers who were probing their brains not far behind him, gossiping and curious.
Ming Lanying beckoned to him funny, and Ye Jielu happily stepped forward to hold her.
"Why are you here?"
Ming Lanying carried a four-layer large food box in one hand, "Someone didn't go back to eat, Ning'er was worried that he was hungry, so he asked me to deliver the food." ”
Ye Jielu took the food box distressedly, and kissed the back of her hand very easily, "Hard work lady, go in and rest." ”
The soldiers who were watching the gossip from a distance took a deep breath, extremely shocked, if it weren't for the strict rules in the barracks and the can't make loud noises, they would all be able to make an atmosphere for the husband and wife to cheer and cheer.
The crane on the side inserted into the world of the two with an expressionless voice, "Brother, I'm carrying two!" ”
Ye Jielu glanced at her, "Can't you carry it?" If you can't carry it, go back to the handstand for two hours and practice more. ”
Crane Bai Wang howled, "Brother! You're forgetful! ”
As a result, the two of them ignored her, and walked away hand in hand to the barracks, Hebai followed with two four-layer large food boxes, and saw the brothers who were about to form a circle not far away, and warned them to disperse quickly, and dared to take a look at her sister-in-law and wait for the afternoon to lead the personal drill.
Two curious people licked their faces and asked, "Brother, is that really our beautiful Commander's Lady?" My dear mother! She is as beautiful as a flower and can't describe her wife, she can be more beautiful than a fairy! ”
"No wonder the commander came to pick it up in person, and he was reluctant to let go, and if he was my daughter-in-law, I was reluctant to let her go out!"
"Madame personally sent three such large food boxes? Did the lady make it herself? ”
Tsurubai snorted twice, "Of course! My sister-in-law's skills are comparable to the best imperial chef in the capital! ”
"Edi, mother! Madame is amazing! Brother, does Madame have any sisters? It's really not good, brothers, too! ”
Hebai directly gave them a kick, ", you guys are really taboo in meat and vegetarians!" My sister-in-law is the only fairy in the sky and on the earth, and it is difficult to find the pearl of the night! ”
One person kicked a lot away, but there were also dead faces.
"Oops! Good luck brothers! Brother, I have been known for almost 30 years, and the family is urging me tightly, and I haven't met a good one, my brother is good, tell my wife if you have any brothers and sisters? ”
"You really want to know?" It's not impossible, do you know what my sister-in-law's surname is? ”
“…… Bright? ”
Hebai nodded, "It's the Ming family with the elders of the three dynasties, if you have the ability, go there, don't say it's what I said." ”
“……”
Ming Lanying was about to walk to the study and didn't see Hebai, and when she turned around, she saw that Hebai was surrounded by a circle of people, and it was still not someone who cried to her father and begged her to do well.
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and asked Ye Jielu, "You all like Hebai so much in the barracks?" Why haven't you seen anyone close to Hebai? ”
Ye Jielu looked at the virtues of that group of people and knew what he was asking for around Hebai, and he felt ashamed when he saw it, "No, they all treat Hebai as a brother." ”
"That's ......"
Ming Lanying came to the Praetorian Guard camp for the first time, and originally wanted to send a meal and leave directly, but Ye Jielu led her in to go shopping, she thought about the lively "wedding" scene when she just told the wolf cub about the golden eagle marriage this morning, and the wolf cub was still making trouble at home, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to visit the barracks today.
Ye Juelu's deputy envoy found that the husband and wife were looking at a bunch of people gathered together from a distance, and seeing that Commander Ye stared at them with a cold and ruthless gaze, he hurriedly stepped forward to disperse the crowd, and Hebai quickly returned to Ming Lanying's side and told Ming Lanying about his brother's embarrassment for fun.
The three food boxes are all Ye Jielu's, Ming Lanying is playing with a large sand table on the side, and Ye Jielu tells her about the early dynasty while eating.
Ming Lanying asked suspiciously: "Can't they be punished for what happened seven years ago?" ”
Ye Jielu shook his head, "No, the emperor just ascended the throne seven years ago, and it was when he relied on the old ministers of the court, so it was only a small punishment and a big admonition at that time." ”
Ming Lanying nodded understandingly, Hebai pinched the sand and piled it into a small pile, and asked, "Then can't Si Tianjian's words be used as an excuse for the attack?" ”
Ming Lanying thought for a while, and frowned slightly, "It's not enough to take only one of the hexagrams of the Si Tian Supervisor and the Supervisor of the Ming Family, at most it will damage the reputation of the Ming Family, although the Ming Family doesn't have a good reputation now, but it can still be broken!" ”
Hebai snorted in surprise, "But wasn't it the Ming family who almost poisoned the queen before?" ”
Ming Lanying was stunned, "That's right!" Isn't that the proof! ”
Ye Juelu shook his head, "It was only found out that it was instructed by the Ming family, and there is no evidence pointing to the Ming family." ”
Hebai pouted, "Wait, sooner or later, the Ming family will have a move, either to protect the queen's mother and give birth to the little prince safely, or to let the queen's mother die twice." ”
Ming Lanying suddenly smiled: "Don't panic, as long as the Ming family is still in the capital, and the Ming family is still in the court, the slightest disappointment of the queen mother will be the fault of the Ming family, and the Ming family will wait to be held accountable by the people if the queen mother has an accident." ”
Hebai gave a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, the effect of this trick is really witty!" ”
