Chapter 120 The Madman
Chapter 120 The Madman
At the luncheon on the first day of the new year, Concubine An was absent, and Qin Tangxi had a quiet meal with Ming Shu and Huo Chengming.
On the day of the second day of junior high school, the Empress Dowager cheered up and hosted a banquet for the courtiers and family members, and brought Qin Tangxi with her.
Everyone understands that the queen mother recognizes Qin Tangxi. During this period, everyone respects Qin Tangxi in every possible way, as if going back to the past, Qin Tangxi is still distinguished.
Apart from his background, Qin Tangxi could hardly find any faults, but it was the barrier of identity that was pinched by the courtiers.
Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has not been a queen of any dynasty who does not know her identity.It is a big event for the emperor to marry a wife, not a trivial matter.
The empress dowager's banquet is equivalent to expressing her position. After the new year, some people will go to the empress dowager to complain. If the emperor doesn't listen to their words, the empress dowager will always listen.
The word was passed on and there was no response. The next day, the Empress Dowager closed the door to thank the guests, making these people shut down.
Important officials and powerful officials and even the royal family and nobles dared not express their opinions. The Qingliu faction such as desperate literati and refined scholars got the opportunity to criticize them with words. Under these trends, the people gradually became restless.
Marry a wife and a virtuous person, and don't marry someone of unknown origin.Such excuses are convincing.
On the day of Shangyuan Festival, fireworks are set off at the gate of the city, and the people are in harmony.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor decreed to make Qin Tangxi the queen, and the wedding was set in autumn.
It took half a year from the decree to the marriage, and the Ministry of Rites was given enough time to take the six ceremonies such as acceptance and name asking slowly.The rumors outside are not a big deal, and gradually, no one cares.
In February, Kang Ping, who was in Bingzhou to deal with the aftermath, came back.
Returning back with a full load of money from the confiscated house, the emperor went to meet her in person, rode a horse, passed the market, passed the palace road, and arrived at the gate of the city. Kang Ping was flattered.
After entering the palace, Kang Ping reported: "King Huai'an of Bingzhou and His Majesty Qianzong are cousins. He has eighteen sons. When the Duan family attacked the city gate, his sons turned against each other and killed each other. None left."
Ming Shu was speechless: "There are so many sons." His Majesty Qian Zong only had a pair of daughters, so Qin Tangxi was given a high position.
Kang Ping replied: "The number of grandsons is countless, and the same is true for the King of Northern Fujian next door. Only the descendants of the Qin family have withered."
"The county lord has worked hard. Go home. I will give you a few days off to enjoy the family relationship with your mother. I will return to the court after you have rested." Ming Shu waved her hand very generously.
Kang Ping on the opposite side said: "After the Huai'an Palace was copied, I drew up a list and handed it over to Your Highness."
When it came to serious business, Ming Shu regained her spirits, and Wen Qing took the brochure and handed it to her.
Kang Ping backed away.
After Mingshu opened it, she was a little surprised. This one was also different from the one Duan Yu took. There were some discrepancies, and she was a little confused.
One for Duan Yu, one for Kang Ping, and one for Chao Shang, making a total of three copies, all of which are different.
Qin Tangxi carefully compared the three copies, and came to a conclusion: "Bingzhou and Kang Ping each have their own mental calculations, and they have concealed it from each other. The addition of these three copies is also a specific amount."
If the Duan family didn't have some mental calculations, they wouldn't be able to get to where they are today. Kang Ping is not stupid, and he left behind.
"However." She hesitated to speak, with relief flashing in her eyes, "Kang Ping is smart for a while, Duan Yu is your spy, she didn't dare to get dirty, so she took the initiative to hand in everything to win your trust."
In short, they are all old foxes.
Qin Tangxi sighed, staring at Mingshu's fair face, "You are not good enough to fight with them."
Now that he is a good minister, in time, his mind will turn bad, so what should he do?
Mingshu smiled and put her arms around her, "It's not like you are there, they are amazing, and you are not bad either."
When Qin Tangxi heard it, she felt that it made sense, and she immediately felt relieved. When she became a queen in autumn, she could help Mingshu.
After the Bingzhou incident, the other vassal kings were much quieter, and a few days later, the emperor wanted to withdraw the vassal, and ordered the governors of various places to implement it.
With a command, Duan Yu jumped up first and jumped in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, you are strangling the feudal king to death and raising the governors of various places. One day, they will lose control, and there will be no place for you to cry."
The emperor pulled her to sit down, "Is the prince weak?"
Duan Yu shook his head: "Not weak."
The emperor asked again: "Are the five governors weak?"
"Not weak, they are stronger than Bingzhou." Duan Yu pouted.
The emperor nodded: "When two tigers fight, one must be injured, and the other one may not feel better. Let them fight, and we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
"That's it..." Duan Yu seemed to understand that the governors would lose themselves if they won, and when the emperor came with a move to catch the cicada and the oriole, she would naturally win.
She patted her head, and immediately felt wonderful, and went back to the house happily.
When I went back, I told my daughter-in-law, praised the emperor, and she gave her a blank look, "I heard that your majesty was ignorant of the world before he became the throne, and he was very simple. Now he is the emperor with a well-thought-out plan. What about you? When will you be able to open your mind?"
Duan Yu was stunned: "When did I not get enlightened?"
"Let me ask you, where did your salary go?" Qin Xingwan said angrily.
Duan Yu didn't understand: "Give it to Madam."
Speaking of this matter, Qin Xingwan didn't give her a good look, "Separate the family." The Duan family was harsh, and they started to pluck their wool when they caught Duan Yu, especially her eldest sister, who was dignified on the surface, but so mean in her heart, who trampled on her. Let Duan Yu step on her to make friends with the aristocratic families in Luoyang City, that's all, and he still bosses her around.
The idiot is good at kung fu, knows how to fight, and is a bit lustful. He doesn't know anything about the back house, and he doesn't know what the Duan family is thinking.
Qin Xingwan sighed deeply, how wonderful it would be to devote all his energy to loving beauties in the back house.
Pity.
Half a month later, Duan Yu moved out of the Duan residence. Before leaving, the eldest daughter of the Duan family didn't give her any valuable property, and the two of them were almost kicked out.
Fortunately, Qin Xingwan's dowry was generous, and he bought furniture for the mansion early on, and the two got used to it quickly.
The words also penetrated into Qin Tangxi's ears a few days later. She was teaching the emperor how to play chess. After hearing the words, she stopped and said, "Duan Ling is worse than His Majesty."
Mingshu didn't care about other women's thoughts, she was only interested in the chess game in front of her, and said casually: "I am so smart, how can ordinary people compare with it."
Qin Tangxi sneered, "Your Majesty's face is getting thicker and thicker. That smart Majesty, what is Duan Ling planning?"
"Guess what she's doing, what a joke, I'm the emperor, guess what she's doing as a courtier." Mingshu thought hard, and made a prudent move. Qin Tangxi, who was opposite her, saw how nervous she was, so she simply let her go and made a wrong move on purpose. Son, Mingshu was able to breathe.
In the end, Mingshu still lost, but she lost very happily. She dragged Qin Tangxi to talk for a long time, and didn't care about Duan Ling, let alone her rejection of the noble concubine.
Qin Tangxi didn't speak any more, she leaned against her and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The days went well, and the two lived happily.
In summer, Concubine An and the Queen Mother still did not speak. Concubine An did not enter the palace, and Empress Dowager Sun did not leave the palace. The two were like strangers and no longer cared about each other.
Ming Shu finally realized the seriousness of the matter and went to see Concubine An in person.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the back of Concubine An, slender and straight, with light and shadows flying outside the window, and the light hit her face, making her complexion very pale, even weakly pale.
Mingshu approached and called her softly: "Toffee."
"Yo, you're here." Concubine An turned around, her expression was the same as before, with a smile on her face.
In Mingshu's memory, the concubine was cold and ruthless, and she hadn't seen Qin Tangxi for many years, but today, it may not be so.
"Is there any misunderstanding between you and the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, there are too many." The corners of Taifei An's lips raised slightly, without any bitterness or embarrassment, she stared at Mingshu seriously, tracing the outline of the other party with her eyes, and said seriously: "I did it to send you away by Xin'an back then. "
Over the years, she has done too many things. She has been busy and hypocritical. Looking back, she has been taking revenge from the beginning to the end.
"I know that you and Qin Tangxi are not sisters. I deliberately kept it from her because I wanted to know that she would regret it. Later, I found it meaningless. Your Majesty, you may not know the feeling of being abandoned by your beloved."
Concubine An's words were ambiguous, some words were too dirty, she couldn't tell this young emperor, how disgusting it was for her to be with two men.
And these disgusting things were caused by the Sun family.But the culprit was Sun Suyu.
After thousands of words, only the last sentence remains: "Your Majesty, I paved your road for you, your emperor's road."
She spoke seriously and relaxedly, Mingshu looked at her calm face, and said after a long time: "You know that your self-righteousness killed the real Qin Tangning."
Concubine An didn't understand, but she quickly replied: "I only did two things in the rest of my life. The first is to protect Qin Tangxi and hope that she will live a long life, and the second is to take revenge on Sun Suyu."
As a mother, the body is weak and the heart is strong.But after being abandoned, he became a madman.
Mingshu wanted to persuade her, but realized that the two of them couldn't go together, so she gave up on continuing the conversation and led the others back.
After returning home, she told Qin Tangxi exactly what she had said, but the other party gave her a deep look and did not speak.Mingshu couldn't sit still, and pulled her to continue talking.
Qin Tangxi covered her mouth with her hand, "Your Majesty the Emperor, who is like a fool, can you not talk about other people's affairs? They can make trouble if they want to. They are free. If they have something to do, they won't make such a fuss. Things that you know well, if you break through, you will start to make trouble. What if you don't break through?"
If you don't make trouble, you will live with Hemeimei for a lifetime.
Mingshu had no words to refute, and felt right, so she stopped bothering, but asked someone to send a message to the Sun family, and she was not allowed to come in front of Concubine An at will.
In the summer, Ming Shu led a large group of people to the palace to escape the summer heat, delivered a message to the two elders, prepared the carriage, and came whenever he wanted.
When it came time to leave, Concubine An came slowly and sat in Qin Tangxi's carriage. Empress Dowager Sun did not come and stayed in the palace.
Qin Tangxi couldn't help but said: "You seem to be very reasonable?"
Concubine An said: "I'm used to it, this is my bottom line."
Qin Tangxi was speechless, got up and got out of the carriage, left the carriage to her, and rode the horse by herself.
After a while, the emperor also got out of the carriage, ordered someone to lead the horse, and followed Qin Tangxi leisurely.
Concubine An looked from the car window, the little emperor was riding on horseback, his splendor was shining brightly, the young eagle was flying into the sky, unparalleled in this prosperous age.
Taking a second look, I saw her walking behind Qin Tangxi's horse, smiling brightly, with a jade-colored hibiscus, she sighed, her daughter is much more powerful than her.
Losing Zhao Lan, gaining the little emperor, a blessing in disguise, this life is enough.
Putting down the car curtain, she closed her eyes. After thinking about it for so long, she never regretted what she did at the beginning.Don't allow her to regret it.
The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the emperor and the empress get married.
