Chapter 349, Princess An Guochang
On the wide lake of the Imperial Palace, there is a huge painting boat that swings over. There is a round table in the cabin of the painting boat, and the people sitting in front of the table are Emperor Yin Guang, Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng, Du Ruo girl, Yang Jingzhong, the chief administrator, Wei Dehai, the deputy chief eunuch, and behind the emperor are the personal eunuch Yu Fu, the palace maid Wenxiu, and the little eunuch Fu Quan, Fu ?, Fu Shun and others.
The battle between Tang Jiusheng and Yang Jingzhong just now was very exciting, Yin Guang, Wei Dehai, Yu Fu and others were still unsatisfied, only Miss Du Ruo was frightened, for fear that Brother Tang would make a mistake. In the end, when Tang Jiusheng was slightly better, Du Ruo couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, of course, the careful Du Ruo also found the disappointment in Yin Guang's eyes, obviously Yin Guang hoped that Yang Jingzhong would win.
Yang Jingzhong stroked his snow-white slender eyebrows, chuckled, with some regret on his face that could not be concealed, and said with emotion: "The latecomer is superior! King Wei's martial arts are quite advanced, and our family can no longer defeat King Wei, this is the blessing of the great business, the blessing of the emperor!" Yin Guang glanced at Yang Jingzhong, bowed his head and was silent.
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Boss, if you are willing to lose the bet, do we have to fulfill our previous promise?" If you lose, please ask Your Majesty to recognize the identity of Miss Du Ruo and crown Miss Du Ruo as a princess!"
Yang Jingzhong, who was dressed in purple, didn't say anything, but just glanced at Yin Guang meaningfully. Yin Guang coughed, and replied neither softly nor hard, "Tang Jiusheng, I want to remind you, it was just your monk's father's gamble, and I didn't participate in it! You can't make a bet and involve me, right? I have always been true to my word, and the gambling is excellent, if I lose the bet with you just now, I will definitely be willing to lose the bet, and I will never deny it!"
Tang Jiusheng clapped his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty said well! This is the emperor I admire and admire! Weichen, may I ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has good gambling products, can our royal family of big merchants gamble a little better? Oh, the first emperor is finished, put on his pants and leave, Liu Qinghan conceived in October and gave birth to such a flower-like daughter for the first emperor, is this a fact?
With tears in his eyes, Du Ruo shook his head and said: "Brother Tang, Du Ruo was born a hard-working person, without the life of a princess, otherwise he would not have been born in a poor ravine! An illegitimate folk woman is crowned a princess in this way, which is indeed detrimental to the dignity of the Dashang royal family! Big brother, don't embarrass the emperor anymore, so as not to hurt the harmony between the monarch and the minister!"
Tang Jiusheng was so angry that he pressed Du Ruo's nose hard with his fingertips, "You stupid girl, everyone has the heart to kill you, and you still speak for him!
Yin Guang got up angrily, slowly walked out of the cabin, stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, and said coldly: "Tang Jiusheng, you don't know, I have no choice but to do it! There are many things that I can't say alone! If this matter spreads, it will be ridiculed by the people of the world, and how can the face of the Dashang royal family be saved? Don't force me, do you think that I am hard-hearted, and I am willing to kill my sister?"
Tang Jiusheng also stood up, came behind Yin Guang, bowed down and said: "Weichen has something unclear, I want to ask the pope, everything must be reasonable, since the emperor has passed the book thousands of miles and asked the minister to kill Du Ruo girl, then may I ask Du Ruo girl which royal law of our big business has been violated and will be killed by the emperor? Since you want to kill someone, please ask the emperor to issue a holy decree to announce Du Ruo's death, and Tang Jiusheng will kill people by order!"
Yin Guang's expression was embarrassed, he twisted his face to the side, and said in a deep voice: "Tang Jiusheng, don't force me to ask me anymore! This is my own decision, I just consider the face of the Great Shang Imperial Family, and it has nothing to do with Wang Fa!"
Tang Jiusheng narrowed his eyes, put his hands on his sleeves and said slowly: "If a person does something wrong, everyone in the world already knows it, does he have the courage to admit this matter and assume the corresponding responsibility, so that people look faceless, or is it a dead duck who does not admit his mistake and has face? When I issued an edict to Emperor Dezong, did someone laugh at him for having no face? On the contrary, the court."
The wild people all praised each other, and even Fanbang was convinced!"
Yin Guang stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, looking at the undulating lake of Houdehai, thoughtfully, the eunuchs and eunuchs all looked at each other, and no one said a word, this kind of thing is better for the emperor to make his own decisions.
Tang Jiusheng paced to Yin Guang's side, looked at Houdehai and smiled, "I heard my father say that this big lake was named Houdehai by Emperor Taizu of the Great Shang Dynasty, which means that virtue carries things and rules the world with virtue! Your Majesty is a Ming monarch who is rare in the ages, so he can tolerate Weichen's repeated outspokenness! If he dared to say such a thing in the former dynasty and the later Sui Dynasty, he would have already been wiped out!"
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "It can be seen from this how important it is to meet a good emperor, and Weichen only hopes that His Majesty can think twice before acting when encountering major events, then the great business is very lucky, and the world is very lucky!"
Yin Guang raised his head, sighed, looked embarrassed, smacked his lips, and was very entangled.
Tang Jiusheng said again: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world, it is difficult to say that it is difficult, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, it depends on how the individual chooses." The emperor has always said that he wants to be a wise gentleman, but it is very difficult to be a wise monarch, and the difficulty lies in being loyal and rebellious, and the difficulty lies in having the capacity to tolerate people!
Yin Guang thought for a long time, and suddenly felt relieved, obviously having made a decision. Yin Fang turned his face to look at Tang Jiusheng sideways, and said movingly: "Tang Jiusheng, thank you! I already know what to do about this matter! I hope that there will be more courtiers in the court who are as iron-clad as you and dare to make a direct admonition, instead of a group of echo worms who can only shout long live the emperor!"
Tang Jiusheng put his arm around Yin Guang's shoulders and said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister also pinched a cold sweat just now, for fear that the emperor would be angry and ordered someone to drag Wei Chen out and cut him off! After all, the minister only has one head, and the minister is also afraid of death! In fact, Wei Chen entered Beijing this time, in addition to Princess Du Ruo's matter, there is also one thing to ask for!"
Yin Guang quietly pushed Tang Jiusheng's hand and shoulder down, coughed lightly twice, and said angrily: "I am also a person who wants to save face, so there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how dare you put your hand on my shoulder? I have always thought that you Tang Jiusheng are extremely bold, there is nothing that you Tang Jiusheng dare not say, and there is nothing that you Tang Jiusheng dare not do, and now according to what you say, you are also afraid of me? Then you say, what else do you ask me to do?"
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty is benevolent by nature, but after all, the power of heaven is unpredictable, how can the minister not be afraid? In fact, the minister knows that His Majesty is a wise monarch and has the capacity to tolerate people, so he dares to make a direct admonition again and again, if it is a faint monarch, Weichen will definitely not dare to do this! The minister wants to ask His Majesty for something like this, and now that His Majesty has appreciated it, he has a title, and he has a fief, isn't there still a shortage of daughters-in-law?"
Yin Guang laughed heartily and pointed at Tang Jiusheng with his finger, "Okay, you Tang Jiusheng, it turns out that I want to canonize your princess, then you say, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang, who do you want to be the main concubine and who is the side concubine? I want to see which one you love more!"
Du Ruo, who was sitting at the table, suddenly raised her heart, and she stared at Tang Jiusheng nervously, not knowing how Brother Tang would answer, she was a little afraid. Tang Jiusheng laughed, with a flattering expression, "Your Majesty, do you see if you can all be canonized as concubines?" Tang Jiusheng suddenly turned around, pointed at Du Ruo and smiled flatteringly at Yin Guang: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to marry Du Ruo's sister too, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"
Yin Guang couldn't stop laughing, he couldn't help but raise his foot to kick Tang Jiusheng, and said with a fake anger: "You kid! You want to eat all the beautiful girls? Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang are going to marry, I can't say anything, after all, you have known each other for so long, and your parents have agreed, but my sister is just about to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and you want to marry too, why are you so greedy!?"
Tang Jiusheng laughed
Du Ruo's sister has a life-saving grace for Weichen, and Weichen has nothing to repay, so he has to promise himself, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"
Yin Guang laughed, shook his head and said: "This Tang Jiusheng, I really can't do anything about you, okay, I will match Du Ruoxu to you as you wish, and canonize Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, and Du Ruo as the concubines of King Wei, regardless of size, are you satisfied?
Du Ruoru was stunned and at a loss in her dream, and Yu Fu reminded softly on the side: "Princess Anguo, why don't you kneel down and thank the Holy Grace?"
Du Ruo woke up like a dream, hurriedly prostrated on the ground, and said loudly: "Du Ruo thank Your Majesty Longen! Long live my emperor, long live!"
Yin Guang turned around and picked up Du Ruo with a smile on his face, "Sister doesn't have to be polite, get up!" Then he said a few more words, how old is this year, have you ever studied since childhood, the brother and sister stood at the bow of the boat and nagged for a while, Yin Guang turned around and said: "Father Shang, the holy decree of canonizing Princess Wei and canonizing Princess Anguo is handed over to Father Shang! Sister Du Ruo has not been to the palace yet, and when I return to the palace later, I will take her around!"
Yang Jingzhong agreed, and the monarchs and ministers talked and laughed, the boat docked, Yin Guang took Du Ruo's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, this is Tianhua Island, very beautiful, I will take you around here first!" and said: "I also have a younger sister, Yin Ruonan, the eldest princess of the plains, who has a very violent temper, like a boy, but not as quiet as you!"
Everyone went ashore with them, Yin Guang held Du Ruo with his left hand, pulled Tang Jiusheng with his right hand, and said to Tang Jiusheng affectionately: "Tang Jiusheng, from today onwards, I am your eldest brother, you kid should treat my sister well!"
Tang Jiusheng replied with a forced smile: "Yes, uncle, no, yes, Your Majesty!"
For a whole afternoon, Yin Guang took Tang Jiusheng and Du Ruo to play in Tianhua Island and the Imperial Garden, and in the evening, Yang Jingzhong had already drafted the holy decree of canonizing Du Ruo as the eldest princess of Anguo, and Yin Guang officially canonized Du Ruo as the eldest princess of Anguo in the Yangshen Pavilion. That night, Tang Jiusheng stayed in the Yangshen Pavilion and slept with Yin Guang.
In the next few days, Yin Guang took Du Ruo and Tang Jiusheng to play around in the palace, only taking Yu Fu, Wenxiu and Leng Hongxing to follow, in the blink of an eye, Du Ruo had been living in the palace for nine days, and on the evening of the ninth day, Tang Jiusheng mentioned to Yin Guang that he wanted to return to the fiefdom to recruit troops, Yin Guang nodded and agreed, some things should be done in a hurry.
On the morning of the tenth day, Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo to resign to Yin Guang, Yin Guang was going to arrange some palace maids and eunuchs to accompany him, and pulled the dowry of the four-horse carriage, Tang Jiusheng was troublesome, and smiled at Yin Guang: "Your Majesty, if you want to accompany some dowry, Weichen has no objection, you let them take their time later, Weichen wants to take Du Ruo's sister to ride a unicorn and take a step ahead to chase Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang!"
Yin Guang smiled, nodded in agreement, and sent more than a dozen Ouchi guards and two hundred forbidden soldiers to escort the dowry of Princess Anguo to Prince Wei's mansion in Anshu County, Jiannan Province. Yin Guang took Yu Fu and Leng Hongxing and others to personally send Tang Jiusheng's Du Ruo outside Yong'an City, and then they said goodbye. When parting, Yin Guang patted Tang Jiusheng on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, come on, Jiannan Road is the barrier to the southwest of Dashang, the most important thing, don't let me down!"
Tang Jiusheng arched his hand and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, thanks to Your Majesty's trust, Weichen will definitely live up to Your Majesty's love! The minister is here, Jiannan Road is here, and the southwest is here! The minister has taken his leave, Your Majesty takes care of the dragon body!"
Du Ruo also said goodbye to Yin Guang, Yin Guang smiled and waved his hand, "Go, go, it's good to come back and see me when you have time!" Du Ruo and Tang Jiusheng waved together, saying goodbye to Yin Guang, Yu Fu, and Leng Hongxing, the unicorn ran out of the dust and smoke, and disappeared at the end of the official road on the horizon in a blink of an eye, Yin Guang turned the horse's head with a smile, "They are gone, let's go back to the palace too!"
