Chapter 239
Concubine Xi struggled for a while, then turned back with difficulty, showing the most charming smile, "Your Majesty, this concubine is joking..."
Uh? no one?
"Mu Wanqing, you're playing with me!" She was about to go crazy. Is there any distinction in Mu Wanqing's eyes? No matter what she does, she is also a concubine, a king, and they are all ministers.
"How dare you snatch someone from the emperor with such little courage?" Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly. She was loyal to herself. It is enough for the monarch, his ministers and his ministers to coax themselves.
"Otherwise, let's talk to the emperor. If he agrees, I promise you. Let's go."
She stepped forward and pulled Concubine Xi's arm towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which frightened Concubine Xi and struggled hard.
Even if she was beaten to death, she would not dare to let the emperor know about these little abacuses, she knew that these ideas would not come to the fore.
"Let go of me, let go, Mu Wanqing, I order you to let me go."
She was still acting like a concubine, but unfortunately, Mu Wanqing pulled her even harder, "Let's go, teach the emperor a lesson and let him know that the person beside his pillow will stab him in the back at any time."
Concubine Xi's whole body is not well, how could she say such a crazy thing?
If you offend her like this, aren't you afraid that she will take revenge when she becomes the queen mother?
Mu Wanqing is not an idiot, so what happened to the queen mother? If he dared to harm her, he could still crush her to death.
As for the emperor, cooperate if good, goodbye if bad, no matter when she can get out of the body.
Concubine Xi's men wanted to come over to help, but Du Shaoxuan held a branch in front of him, whoever crossed the line would be kicked.
Concubine Xi's eyes blushed, "I didn't do anything, don't talk nonsense, the emperor won't believe you."
Du Shaoxuan turned his head, "I am the witness."
Concubine Xi's head was hot and she forgot to be afraid of him, "Who doesn't know that there is only one Mu Wanqing in your heart, and your words are not to be believed."
As soon as these words came out, Du Shaoxuan blushed and looked at Mu Wanqing subconsciously.
Mu Wanqing didn't seem to hear it, and kicked Concubine Xi on the back of her foot intentionally or unintentionally. Concubine Xi only felt a sharp pain and fell forward, "Ah."
Mu Wanqing seemed startled, let go of her hand and jumped backwards, letting Concubine Xi fall heavily to the ground.
She covered her mouth in surprise, hesitated for a while, and stepped forward to help someone, "Why did you fall while walking? Look at the road more."
Concubine Xi felt pain all over her body and lost her face. She pushed Mu Wanqing away angrily and viciously, "Whoever wants you to be kind, you did it on purpose, ahhh, I'm going to kill you."
Du Shaoxuan was furious and stared at her coldly, "Wan Qing, ignore her, she's not good, let's go."
Mu Wanqing brushed off her sleeves, looking disgusted, then turned around and left slowly.
Concubine Xi looked at the silhouettes of the two who were leaving, and slammed it down angrily, fighting with them!
There are no secrets in the palace, and it spread throughout the palace in no time.
The emperor was teaching the eldest prince to write, frowning slightly, "What's wrong with Concubine Xi?"
Wei Shaohui, who was standing with his hands down, said respectfully, "Concubine Xi wants to dig your corner, but the Qingping County Lord is resolute, and she only wants to be a lonely minister..."
He told the truth as it was, without covering up, without adding fuel to it, and relayed the entire process.
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, "Pass on my oral order, and ask Concubine Xi to copy ten scrolls of scriptures and worship them in front of the Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Wei Shaohui's lowered eyes were slightly loose, ten volumes? This time, Concubine Xi was going to copy the scriptures and cut off her arm. The time was so fast that it was considered an invisible grounding.
"Yes." The chief of the chamberlain responded, and he valued the Qingping County Lord even more in his heart.
In this dispute, the county lord of Qingping won, and he coaxed the emperor very happy. It is rare for a lonely minister.
The eldest prince blinked, a little worried, "Did the mother-in-law get into trouble?"
He has been raised by the emperor since he was three years old, and he deliberately separated the influence of the concubine from him. However, Concubine Xi was occasionally allowed to contact the eldest prince, and the child also needed maternal love.
If it is blindly forced to isolate, it is not good for the growth of the child.
Of course, it is impossible to get along alone, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at it.
The emperor did not hide it because of his young age. If there is no accident, he will be the successor, and he must be well cultivated for the sake of the country.
"Would you be happy if the little servant beside you listens to you on the surface and from others behind your back?"
"Not happy." The eldest prince's eyes were wide and his face was bulging, "Who is that other person?"
The emperor spends very little time on his concubines. It is his responsibility as a king to spread branches and leaves. Unfortunately, his health is not very good and there are not many children.
The emperor is high above, destined to be ruthless.
"It's just an analogy. Your mother-in-law is not a smart one. She is in a hurry to recruit people before I die. What is she in a hurry?"
The words were serious, and the eldest prince's face turned pale, "Father, you will live a hundred years."
In his heart, the father and emperor who get along with each other day and night are the most important. Although the mother and concubine keep saying that they love him the most, but the child's keen nature makes him feel that this may not be the case.
The emperor touched his little head, as the prince is destined to bear too many responsibilities.
"Huang'er, you have to remember that everyone has selfishness and will plan for themselves, but it's too much."
The eldest prince thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What is Sister Qingping's selfishness?"
For the sake of name and right?
A trace of astonishment appeared on the emperor's face, and then he smiled, "She wants everyone to listen to her and fulfill her dream with her."
The eldest prince was stunned, a little strange, "What is her dream?"
The emperor's expression is very complicated, "To make the old end, the strong will be useful. The young will grow, and the widow, loneliness, and sickness will all be supported." Note (1)
The eldest prince knew the source of this sentence, "This is from "Book of Rites: Li Yun Chapter", but this ideal country only exists in the book, how can it be accomplished?"
Although he was born with fine clothes and jade food, the emperor strictly disciplined him and told him a lot about the outside world.
The last time he went out of the palace, he saw the beggar on the side of the road shivering coldly, and only then did he know that there are still many people in this world who can't get enough to eat and don't keep warm.
"Others can't do it, but maybe she can." This is also the real reason why the emperor gave her a high look, "She built a school in Xiliang, where both men and women can go to school, Renji Hall is for orphans and widows and disabled people, three years old The following children have milk to drink and food to receive to ensure they grow up healthy."
Mu Wanqing is a very contradictory person, not only has great love and ability, but also has a strong and unwilling side, and also likes to do things.
Human nature is complex, but this is what is alive.
The eldest prince was stunned, she not only made a lot of money. "How did she do it?"
The emperor's eyes fell on the thick ledger, "First of all, you have to have money, a lot of money."
The state treasury was full, and his private treasury was also full, all thanks to Mu Wanqing.
"Secondly, there is a leader who is visionary and has great love."
Without a benevolent heart, it is impossible to formulate so many rules that are beneficial to the people. She took all aspects into consideration and built a perfect welfare system.
He had researched and had to admit that she had two brushes in this regard.
"Again, we must work together and work hard together."
The unity of Xiliang officials was unexpected to him. Even if Mu Wanqing left, they still followed her routine and did not make any changes. Xiliang was thriving.
"Huang'er, it is difficult to achieve these three points, but the county lord Qingping did it. She also supported the Du family's army with her own strength, blocked the attacks of the northern Chu and Xiwu, and defended the northwestern defense line for Daqi. This gave the court a chance to breathe for a moment."
The deeds she has done are recorded every bit, and recorded in his heart.
The eldest prince's eyes were shining, full of admiration, "Sister Qingping is amazing."
The emperor had high hopes for him, "Yes, if you study hard, you can learn a lot from her."
"Understood, Father."
Therefore, when Concubine Xi did not dare to go to the emperor, but went to the first prince to cry about Mu Wanqing's unreasonableness and disrespect to her, the first prince listened to her silently for a long time, and then said, "Mother, how can a concubine of yours contact the officials of the previous dynasty? ? This is taboo."
Concubine Xi: …
"She's female."
The eldest prince sighed like a little adult, "That's also an important court official."
Like a basin of cold water pouring down from Concubine Xi's head, she was shocked, "I am your concubine." It was right to help her unconditionally.
"But I'm still a baby." The eldest prince's eyes were full of innocence.
Is it okay to cry with a child? Still expecting a child to get justice for you?
No, it's to help the tyrants.
The head of Qingping County is a courtier of the emperor, not yours. Your concubine's hand stretches so long that it is inappropriate, and the emperor will be angry.
Concubine Xi was embarrassed and angry, and she said in a moment of anger, "I gave birth to you in vain. I gave birth to you in October, so you repaid me?"
A trace of injury flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince, and he couldn't help but wonder once again if the concubine really loved him?
The old maid on the side stopped coldly, "Concubine Xi, it is your honor to give birth to a dragon son as a palace concubine. The dragon son is not something that a concubine can discipline. If you are too good, please leave quickly."
No matter how noble the palace concubine is, she cannot dictate to the upbringing of the prince and the princess. This is the rule of the Daqi Dynasty.
Concubine Xi's rationality returned to the cage, and she regretted it too much, "Huang Er, Concubine Mu..."
The eldest prince is her hope for prosperity and wealth in the second half of her life, and she must not hurt the mother-son relationship.
Although, this sentiment is as weak as paper.
The old lady of Cining Palace walked in and said loudly, "The Queen Mother said, Concubine Xi does not abide by the palace rules and will be confined to Yongfu Palace for half a year."
Concubine Xi's eyes darkened, and this time she lost her face.
It is well known to all officials of the court that the Minister of the Household and Mu Wanqing had a gambling appointment. The officials invariably stood by the former's side, loudly attacking Mu Wanqing's offenders.
Mu Wanqing still went to the office and went to the office as usual. Whoever dared to barbara in front of her, she would immediately hate the other person who didn't even know her mother.
For a while, Mu Wanqing received a flood of bad comments.
Until, Wu Yiwei found a letter from the King of Jin to him in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Housing, in which he asked him to inform him of the route of the Hanzhou flood relief commissioner. The more careful the better.
There was an uproar in the hall.
Disaster relief work falls within the scope of the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of Households is the boss of the Ministry of Households. Naturally, this is clear.
After the flood in Hanzhou, the first emperor asked the officials of the household department to bring one million taels of silver to the disaster relief.
At that time, it was only said that the bandits were in trouble, but it turned out that the Minister of the Ministry of households had tipped off the news.
traitor! Betrayed colleagues, betrayed court secrets, and used the disaster relief money saved by the court to finance the enemy, causing countless victims to die. The crime cannot be punished.
The Minister of the Ministry of households tried desperately to plead for injustice, and did not admit to receiving such a letter, but the letter was found in his study, and the handwriting was indeed the handwriting of the King of Jin.
The emperor personally ordered the three departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Overwatch Council to jointly try the case, and it was imperative to get to the bottom of it.
