Chapter 687 The Man Watching the Stars
In the summer courtyard, the water sprinkled on the bluestone board evaporated with a slight summer heat; on the pavilion in the backyard of Song Mansion, Song Nan lay on her back with a soft couch, with her hands behind her head to look at the stars in the sky. Wan'er, the maidservant beside her, held a fan next to her, instead of gently holding a watery grape and sending it into Song Nan's mouth. Song Nan chewed slowly, and the sweet and cool juice flowed into her throat, which was indescribably useful.
The little princess has come to the back garden three times. She is the mother of Song Mansion. There is a distinguished guest at home. Song Nan, the host, does not come forward. Her mistress always has to come forward to say hello, but the problem is that Song Nan doesn't see anyone, and she can't solve the problem after receiving her.
This situation has lasted for two days. Yesterday, first, Zhang Lun came to visit Song Nan. The two said something for half an hour in the study. Finally, Zhang Lun slammed the door with a red face and a thick neck, and he couldn't shout.
When asked what happened to Song Nan, Song Nan only said, "Women don't talk much about men's affairs." The choked little princess crossed her waist and had half the weather. Song Nan would never say such words before. It seems that something important has happened.
Soon after, Li Daniu couldn't stand the pressure of several mistresses and told the truth of the matter. The Tatans attacked the northwest, and the court was defeated repeatedly. In just two months, they lost important border towns and guardhouses such as Jiayuguan, Suzhou, Yongchang, Shandan, Gansu and Liangzhou. The soldiers lost more than 70,000 soldiers, including more than a dozen generals, including Qiu Yue. He died in the battlefield; the court wanted to ask Song Nan to come out of the mountain to fight against the enemy, but Song Nan did not want to take over this mess. The emperor asked Zhang Lun to be a lobbyist, and Song Nan also refused him, so he broke up unhappily.
Only then did the little princess understand what was going on. Her husband was not like this before, but there was an imperial order to immediately go on an expedition without saying a word? Is it because now the children are unwilling to take risks and lose their former spirit? Impossible, absolutely impossible. With the little princess's understanding of Song Nan, such a thing cannot happen to Song Nan.
However, as wives and concubines, it is not a good thing to lead the army to fight, especially after hearing that Chang Ning died in the battle and Qiu Yu died in the battle. Xu Guangzuo was scared and stunned, he was even more opposed to going to the northwest to fight. But the problem is that there are waves of people who come to be lobbyists. Song Nan always doesn't receive and doesn't meet, which is not a matter.
Except for Zhang Lun, most of the people who came yesterday were friends with Song Nan, and even Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and other Song Nan's confidants. They were all rejected by Song Nan. This is still a little easy to do. They are all their own people and won't say anything. At most, they shook their heads and sighed; but tonight, all the important ministers of the court, including inside Several adults in the cabinet, including Yang Tinghe, a scholar of the University of the Pavilion, two ministers in the foreign court, and Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of the internal court. It's a big deal for such a large group of people to come to Songfu. In terms of identity, qualifications, and official positions, everyone is on an equal footing with Song Nan, and no one can be offended.
"husband, go and meet. Several adults have been waiting for more than an hour. It's not a good idea for you to hide like this. If you don't want to agree, you have to refuse. The little princess held the railing probe and shouted.
"Madam, come and see the stars. Poetry Cloud: Silver candle autumn light cold painting screen, light Luo small fan flutters the flow of the Firefly.
The night is as cool as water, lying down to watch the morning glory Vega. How consistent this scene is. Come and watch the stars with me.
The little princess couldn't laugh bitterly and sighed, "What's the pain? Didn't you offend a large group of people? He also told outsiders that you were not ordered in the face of danger and did not want to be loyal to the country; others said that you were afraid and dared not go to the northwest. Hey... If you don't want to go, just say it clearly."
Song Nan sat up and scolded angrily, "Women, can you say these words? What kind of person am I, Song Nan? Do you care about these boring reviews? It's really unreasonable."
The little princess was shocked and said aggrievedly, "I'm just paraphrasing some words. There has been a lot of rumors outside these days. I know you're not for this reason, but no matter what the reason is, why don't you just explain it out to them? These people come every day, but you don't come out. If you don't bother me, I'm bored.
Song Nan sneered and said, "They came when they liked to come, and I didn't invite them. When did I, Song Nan, became a spare tire? It's not beautiful to think. The emperor wants me to go to the northwest. Unless he orders me, I won't go.
"spare tire? What kind of spare tire? The little princess doesn't understand this word.
"I can't explain it to you. Go and tell them that I didn't come voluntarily. It was the emperor who forced them to come. Let them go back and tell the emperor that I'm afraid of the tartars. I dare not go to the northwest. Ask the emperor to think about the society and ask Gao Ming." Song Nan waved her hand angrily and lay down again to count the stars.
The little princess sighed and turned around and came out of the inner house. When she came to the main hall outside, Yang Ting and the leading adults sat silently in the hall drinking tea. Seeing the little princess come in, they got up one after another and said, "How's it? Has the Marquis Song come?
The little princess was blessed and said apologetically, "My husband is not feeling well. I really can't see you. My husband brought a message and said that he knows your intentions, but he really can't do it. Please reply to the emperor and please be wise."
Yang Tin and said in astonishment, "Lord Song really said so?"
The little princess said apologetically, "It's true. My husband said it himself. How dare my concubine laugh."
Fei Hong, a college scholar, said, "Come on, let's not be in the way here. If we want to do what I want, then we shouldn't come. Without him, will there be no one in the Ming Dynasty? If the emperor hadn't forced us to invite, who would have touched his cold buttocks with a hot face and left.
Liang Chu Luji and others looked bad. They got up and patted their buttocks and wanted to leave.
The little princess smiled and said, "I'm very sorry to teach you to go there for nothing."
Yang Tinghe sighed, "Lord Song, what is this? Knowing that the emperor asked him to be ordered by name, didn't he have a bad reputation? Is it possible to force the emperor to issue an order?"
Liang Chu said, "This man is this virtue. He is shameless. After the emperor's order, how dare he not go? However, the emperor said that he wanted to take care of his mood and could not force him to be forced. I felt that what the people outside said was right. Song Nan was afraid of losing the war and the Tartans. Those things in the past can only say that he was lucky. Come on, let's go. We have to find the right person. The northwest is in full swing. We can't waste time on him.
The little princess's face suddenly collapsed, and her hands folded her waist and said coldly, "Master Liang, what kind of person is my husband? It's not your turn to talk too much. My husband Ping Liu Liuqi's Rebellion. When the king revolted peacefully, Lord Liang was still a little one? When? Is it your turn to talk? My husband doesn't have the ability. Why did you come here? I, Song Mansion, didn't invite you to come. You have to go through the door there, like flowers and moon to see me off. Seeing the appearance of Lord Liang clearly, he doesn't like to come to our Song Mansion. Next time if you see him step into the gate of my Song Mansion, hit me out with a broom.
The fat and thick body flashed out from behind and stood in front of Liang Chu like two peaks. The urn said angrily, "My young lady said, please get out of here, come back and break your dog's leg."
Liang Chu was shocked and immediately brushed his sleeves and said angrily, "What a big style, will you go? Do you still stay here waiting for others to catch up?
Yang Tin and his face looked ugly and whispered, "Mrs. Song, it's really... Hey, let's not talk about it, goodbye."
The little princess said coldly, "I won't send it."
The ministers walked clean in an instant, and there was only one person standing in the corner and did not move. That is Zhang Yong, a regular guest of Song Mansion. The little princess also knew his relationship with Song Nan, so he was polite to him.
"Fath-in-law, please, my husband won't see anyone tonight."
Zhang Yong owed his body and smiled, "Madam, I must see Marquis Song tonight. Madam, you must help me."
The little princess smiled and said, "He doesn't want to see him. How can I help you?" I just said a few words, and he was angry with me.
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Madam, do you know why Lord Song is like this? In fact, the Marquis Song was worried about the war, but he was angry with the emperor, which made so many tricks. Do you think that the Marquis of Song will be willing to bear the name of disloyalty and not share his worries for the emperor? In that case, how will Lord Song gain a foothold in the future? Obviously, that's not what he thinks."
The little princess frowned and said, "The slave family also feels very strange."
Zhang Yong smiled and whispered, "Marquis Song has suffered a lot during this period. If you don't relieve your anger and don't talk about conditions at this time, is that still Marquis Song? I came tonight to convey the conditions for the Marquis Song; if you let me see him, everything is my own arrangement. Is it possible that you really want the Marquis Song to make the emperor angry? At this time, I need to be old. I'm old."
