Chapter 164 The Forbidden Deep Palace under the Moon
Half of Wang Anshi's resignation was because of his son Wang's side, he was proud of his son, but he also knew that there were many bad luck in this time, especially he had long seen that Wang's side seemed to have a deep hatred for the Japanese slave country.
The other half of the reason why Wang Anshi resigned was to see Zhao Shu's incompetence. The Empress Dowager lowered the curtain. The Empress Dowager's gentle personality. It was good to tell her that as long as there was no big deal, she could maintain stability. However, for an unasserented empress dowager, could she really be stable? Zhao Shu was crazy and accompanied you like a tiger. Sooner or later, she would have a big deal. ,
After writing the resignation, Wang Anshi sighed and looked up again to find that his eldest son Wang Yuanze was still in the study. Yuanze looked at his father worriedly. Wang Anshi then found that he was somewhat gaffe when he returned to the house.
"Yuan Ze, if you are ready to resign and return to your hometown for your father, you will stay in the capital, one is to wait for your brother's news; the other is to prepare for the exam."
Yuan Ze bowed his head and said, "I will obey my father's orders." He had a question in his heart, so he continued to ask, "Father, since you resigned and didn't do it, why do you want me to take the exam?"
Wang Anshi looked at Yuan Ze. His son had grown up. He said lightly, "I resigned not because of a setback in my official career, but that I can't work for the people now. I let you take the exam not to make you an official, but to prove your ability."
Yuan Ze listened low and wanted to compare with Wang's grades. He was a little ashamed. Wang Anshi saw Yuan Ze's thoughts: "Yuan Ze, you don't have to compare with your brother. In terms of learning, your brother can't compare with you, but maybe it's because he has been unrestrained since he was a child that he is not so constrained. Everyone has his own destiny."
Hearing his father's words, Yuan Ze felt much more comfortable, and he was not jealous of Wang's achievements. He suddenly remembered an important thing: "Father, I have news about the girl under the moon."
Wang Anshi hurriedly asked, "How are you, Miss Yuexia? How did you get the news?"
Yuan Ze's news was a big twist: "The girl under the moon is now in the deep palace. It is said that she is unharmed, and her father can rest assured for the time being. This news is all from her father's student Li Gefei. His father-in-law Wang Ji is now a teacher of Zhongzhen."
Wang Anshi suddenly realized when he heard this: "I'm old now, and I can't expect to entrust someone to inquire."
Yuan Ze shook his head quickly. After all, Yuexia is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. It is not good for Wang Anshi to inquire about it in the court: "It is naturally inconvenient for him to inquire about his father's identity with other officials. We once had an affair with Gefei and the current prince Zhongzhen. Zhongzhen can't meet us now, so he can only ask his teacher to bring a letter to Ge Fei."
Wang Anshi was a little relieved when he heard the news. He also told Yuan Ze to pay more attention to the news in the palace. That night, Wang Anshi told his wife about his preparation for resignation. The next day, his wife waited for Wang Anshi to resign and saluted a little.
There were only Mrs. and Rouer in the room. Suddenly, Rouer knelt in front of her. The lady was shocked: "Joer, what's wrong with you?"
Rouer pleaded with tears on her face: "Please make the decision, madam. I want to stay in the capital and wait for the news of the second son."
The lady was sad at a glance. Rouer has been serving the second son with dementia. At that time, as a child's daughter-in-law, she was ready to leave Rouer in the house. Who knew that Wang suddenly recovered from illness and married the girl under the moon. At present, Rouer is already a 17 or 18-year-old girl. The matter of taking a concubine has been delayed because Wang's side is often not in the capital. She also knows that Rou The son was deeply in love with Wang. The wife thought for a moment and ordered someone to call Yuan Ze,
When Yuan Ze saw that Rouer was crying like a tearful person, he understood a little in his heart, so he prepared to take a small sedan chair to send Rouer to Meyer's house. As soon as Yuan Ze and Rouer entered the house, they found that the house was deserted and less lively as it used to be.
In the past two days, the people in the house are very sad. Lu Shenyan and Rouge Tiger have known the news that the prince can't return to the capital from Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping. Now they will be more gratified to see Miss Rouer coming.
At present, Jinxiu Building and Yunxuan were closed because of the national funeral, and the impeachment could not come back; Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling escorted Li Enxi's mother and son to Liao; He Xingyuan temporarily went to Xixia to take care of the salt farm next to the king; Cai Jing went to Jianzhou again, and the tea farm had to continue, after all, it was related to the tribute tea of the court,
Yuexia and Tong Xiao are in deep confinement,
In a remote courtyard, a maid of honor brought a food box to the room. After the maid of honor withdrew, Tong Xiao opened the food box, took out the food inside and put it on the table, and then walked to the bedside: "Mom, eat something, or my brother will be hungry."
Yue Xia wiped her tears and straightened her bulging stomach to the edge of the table. She only ate two bites, so she couldn't eat any more. She looked up at Tong Xiao. The child seemed to have grown taller. In the past few months, Tong Xiao's round little face had become thin.
Yuexia looked at Tong Xiao sadly: "Slight, I've wronged you." With that, Yuexia thought of the child in her belly, and she couldn't help crying,
Tong Xiao wiped Yuexia's tears with her sleeve. He was already a lot more sensible. While wiping, he said, "Mom, I'm almost ten years old. I'm a big man. I'm not wronged at all. I'm here to protect my mother. Don't be afraid."
Yue Xia smiled with tears when he heard this. What did the child know? He only knew that Yue Xia and Wang Bian loved him the most. Seeing that Yue Xia smiled, Tong Xiao was happy. He flashed his eyes and said pleadingly, "Mom, can I go to the yard to play with that uncle for a while?"
Yuexia knew that the uncle Tong Xiao said was a minister in the palace and was responsible for guarding their mother and son: "Shao'er, did the old man teach you to let your mother eat well, or your brother will be hungry."
Tong Xiao nodded, and Yuexia sighed slightly. Since she was taken to Pu's mansion by Zhao Shu, Yuexia was like being locked in prison. Zhao Shu was crazy for several days. When it was good, she asked Yuexia if Wang could do magic. She looked forward to the news of Wang every day. Sometimes Yuexia hoped that Zhao Shu would be fine, at least she knew Wang. It is safe,
Since Zhao Shu ascended the throne, she has imprisoned Yuexia in this deep palace. Now, there is no news outside. If she is not pregnant and Tong Xiao is around, Yuexia really can't hold on. There is another point that supports her, that is, she knows that Wang will definitely come back to save him. This kind of waiting and anxiety is not Tong. Xiao, the child, can understand,
Yue Xia also knows that although Tong Xiao is a little naughty, she is smart and sensible. Moreover, she has also seen it secretly. The old eunuch is quiet, but she is very good to Tong Xiao. Occasionally, she brings some gadgets to Tong Xiao. It seems that he likes Tong Xiao very much and should not hurt him.
"Go ahead and remember what your mother said to you."
Tong Xiao squeezed a cunning smile: "Mother, don't worry, I'll let him talk more and tell my mother back." After saying that, he ate three or two mouthfuls of food, put down the bowl and ran to the small yard to play,
The door of this small yard is closed. The main room is where Tong Xiao under the moon lives. Each thing has an ear room. There are one or two maids who serve under the moon, and the inner minister under the moon. At this moment, the old eunuch is cleaning up the weeds on the land on both sides of Qingshi Road in the courtyard. Look It seems that he still wants to plant something like this. Is it possible to make a long-term plan here?
"Old Uncle" Tong Xiao, beside the man who ran away, squatted down to help him weed and said, "What story will you tell me today?"
The eunuch saw Tong Xiao coming. He liked the child from the bottom of his heart. He stood up and took Tong Xiao into his room, washed his hands and said, "You child, you want me to tell stories every day. How can you thank me?" With that, he took out a clay doll from the cabinet and gave it to Tong Xiao,
Tong Xiao played with the clay doll and said, "Now I can't thank you. When I go home with my mother, I have a lot of good things at home. I'll ask my mother again, okay."
The eunuch smiled. The child was a child, but he was thinking in his heart that he really didn't know when their mother and son could go back. "Then how many stories have I told you? Do you remember?"
Tong Xiao turned her eyes: "Remember, the golden cicada took off its shell, turned the tiger away from the mountain, and the tree blossomed. By the way, there was also a closed door to fight the thief..."
Well, the old eunuch nodded with a smile: "I'm going to talk about it today, but I can't talk about it in vain. I've told you so much, and you have to tell me one."
Tong Xiao pouted. He remembered that he had promised his mother and didn't say much to the old man. The old eunuch smiled and made great efforts to keep their mother and son safe. However, it was not a matter of one day to get trust. Moreover, Zhao Shu asked the wife next to the king so much that he couldn't ask what the prince wanted to know. This child could know. What,
"Then I'll tell you a story today: Once upon a time, there were two small countries that the State of Jin wanted to annex its neighbors: Yu and Guo. The relationship between the two countries is good. If Jin attacked Yu, Guo would send troops to rescue; if Jin attacked Guo, Yu would also send troops to help. Later, Jin Xiangong took out two beloved treasures, giving birth to a good horse and the wall of falling thorns. To the Duke of Yu, the Duke of Yu got a good horse, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The State of Jin deliberately created trouble on the border of Jin and Guo and found an excuse to attack Guo. The State of Jin asked the State of Yu to borrow the way to let the State of Jin attack Guo. The Duke of Yu got the benefits of the State of Jin and had to agree.
"What's next?" Tong Xiao asked anxiously,
The old eunuch smiled and said, "Later, the Jin army attacked the country through the road of Yu and soon won the victory. When the class division returned to China, they gave a lot of the robbed property to Duke Yu. Rick, the general of the Jin army, said that he could not bring troops back to China and temporarily stationed his troops near the capital of the State of Yu. Duke Yu did not It was suspected that a few days later, Duke Xian of Jin personally led a large army. Duke Yu went out of the city to greet him. In a short time, there was a fire in the capital. When Duke Yu rushed outside the city, the capital had been forcibly occupied by the Jin army. In this way, the State of Jin easily destroyed the State of Yu. "
Tong Xiao suddenly listened with big eyes. Don't he is the most annoying to read, but he is cute to listen to good stories. How did he know that this eunuch was slowly instilling military tactics into him, and the eunuch didn't expect that Tong Xiao would become a general.
