Chapter 629 I swear to never marry another
In July, the sun was shining and the cicadas were noisy.
In comparison, outside the north window of the imperial study of Qianming Palace, because only two green scamores are planted, it is quiet.
But the not harsh cicada still made the emperor anxious. Then he lost his temper again. Xiao Li was leading three or five eunuchs in gray clothes holding a long bamboo pole to drive away the cicada.
It was clear that his ear was quiet, but the emperor was still impetuous. He couldn't sit quietly and read, and circled around the huge ice kettle with his back until Grandpa Zhan came in and reported to the king of Chu for a look.
Eunuch Zhan was the chief eunuch when the emperor was in power. At this time, he was still "not falling down" in the Qianming Palace. On the one is that he has the qualifications to serve three generations of emperors, and the emperor has just succeeded to the throne, so it is not easy to kill him, otherwise the rumors will become more and more guilty. Second, it is also because of the testimony of Duke Zhan at the beginning to prove that the emperor personally edicted the king. The secret talks and the attendants were sent away. Only Yujiang Qinggu, the imperial hospital, was waiting for medical treatment, which indirectly confirmed the legitimacy of the emperor's accession to the throne, which was also meritorious. Li, the emperor's cronin, was still young and was not qualified as the chief manager. Instead of using those who did not know the root, the emperor thought that Eunuch Zhan was more suitable.
As soon as Grandpa Zhan's words fell, the emperor quickly said, "Please", and then temporarily held back the impatience caused by the hot weather and sat on the throne behind the imperial case.
The consideration of the father and son of the king of Chu did not reply for half a month. On the contrary, the emperor became anxious. The Empress Dowager even concealed his right-hand man's supervision of the government under the will of the emperor. This is not a glorious thing. It makes people know that he does not have absolute power in his hand, and may become more impetuous.
But seeing that Chen and Qin were infighting and could not come up with a good strategy against the Duke of Wei, let alone look at the Yan family, but pinched each other, how could they not make the emperor unspeakable and burning heart? With Gu Yuwen's tireless advice, the emperor became more and more aware of the importance of the king's mansion to him. At least for now, if he can win the king of Chu to stand in his camp, he will at least have the strength to balance with the empress dowager.
Gradually, whether Yu Yu went to the vassal became secondary to the emperor, and whether the king of Chu received an edict to accept Qin's daughter to prepare his daughter-in-law in the future became the focus of attention.
When the king of Chu hurriedly stepped inside and was about to salute, the emperor shouted for help, and gave him a seat and tea. His attitude was more enthusiastic than the last time.
The king of Chu did not dare to sit down. He bowed and was full of shame: "The emperor is considerate everywhere. However, the dog is stubborn and can't be persuaded. I am really shameless. I am really ashamed of the emperor and hope that the emperor will sin."
The emperor's heart was cold, and his eyes looked straight at the king of Chu. Seeing that his shame did not seem to be fake, he couldn't help thinking about it again. It seemed that the king of Chu had the idea of compromise, as if Yu Yu was unwilling? There was no accountability, or those words that were not allowed to go to the vassal, just asked, "Oh? Why didn't Yuanyang agree? Don't you look down on Qin's Qi Niang? Although my sister-in-law can't be compared with the concubine, she is also a famous lady with some talent. I look at her and Yuanyang.
The king of Chu seemed to have an unspeakable secret and shook his head and sighed: "That rebellious son... Alas, it's all because the minister has no way to teach his son."
The emperor became more and more impatient, but before he could ask, he had to report it again - the Empress Dowager of Ci'an Palace was invited, and Grandpa Zhan also lowered his voice to remind him: "The old slave inquired about it. Earlier, the prince of Chu entered the palace to greet him, and he was in the Ci'an Palace at this time." One of the advantages of having Grandpa Zhan's presence is that if it is Xiao Li, he can't inquire about the inside information of Ci'an Palace, and whether it is aunt or Wei Xiangyi, he still has much respect for Grandpa Zhan.
"Presumably, my aunt will also consider the situation and not be difficult to go far away." The emperor laughed.
The Empress Dowager looked embarrassed and looked at Yu Yu.
When Yu received the signal, he immediately knelt down on the banquet and bowed: "Your Majesty, there is no news of my son-in-law at present, but it is still possible to survive. I can't give up. I also ask my father to give permission. If my son cleans up the remnants and still can't ask the whereabouts of my son, I will talk about it from the long-term... At the beginning, when I asked to marry my wife, I decided to treat her with all my heart. Only then did I make a heavy vow. If I accept Qin's daughter as a side concubine, I will recite my oath, and my words are unfaithful and disobedient.
"Yuanyang, it's not my intention to force it. Let's talk about it. If Su escapes early in the morning, why don't he return? It should have fallen into the hands of the thief, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were crazy. If there is a forced action, Su is the daughter of a famous family and a wife of the clan. I'm afraid it has already..." The hint of the emperor's words is obvious. Even if the concubine still has her life to return, she can only die for the sake of fame, she can only die!
"Yuanyang, you have a lot of affection for Su, but can you abandon filial piety? You are the only son of your uncle. If you really follow the words of life and death, or don't marry a new wife, and there is no successor in the king's palace of Chu, can you feel at ease? Isn't it counterethical? The emperor shook his head.
"Holy, I only have one wife in my life. If I don't marry another wife, I will never take a concubine. In case, although there is a high court to serve, I can't die. I have vowed to repay the kindness of the elder for all filial piety. There is a forced reason. I can only leave a son with an unnamed concubine, which is recorded in the name of my son." This is Yu Yu's only compromise. In fact, it is only used to deal with the emperor. He will definitely save Yijing and return safely. How can he tolerate Yijing being forced to die again because of the suspicion of "lost chastity"? His determination completely cut off the intention of the Tian family to marry another. Whether it is the daughter of the Qin family or the daughter of the Yan family, it is impossible to become The future princess of Chu.
The Empress Dowager did not expect Yu Yu to say the matter so absolutely, but she was not dissatisfied. The eldest daughter of the Yan family did not have to marry into the royal palace of Chu. As long as Yu Wei did not marry Qin's daughter and marry the unpredictable power, she could also feel at ease.
But Yu Yu's words haven't been finished yet.
"Although Qin's seventh mother came back to visit and expressed her sincere intention, which really made me feel sorry for her, also known as a minister. She would rather be aggrieved, but she is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion and a famous lady. I must not be so rash and treat her with a nameless concubine. Therefore, she can only live up to the seventh daughter of the Qin family and the beauty of the saint."
As soon as this came out, the Empress Dowager was surprised: "What did you say? When will Zi Ruo come to the door? He also said this..." The Empress Dowager stopped the description of "self-recommendation pillow" and "shameless" in time and coughed: "Such a 'sincere' word?"
"The Empress Dowager, about three or two days after the emperor's first edict, Qi Niang suddenly visited alone." Yu Luo replied generously.
The Empress Dowager's face sank: "Your Majesty, since you asked the father and son of the King of Chu to discuss and talk about it again, their father and son did not answer, how did they know the Qin family?"
Originally, the Empress Dowager had no evil feelings for Qin Ziruo, and even appreciated the woman's talent and wisdom. Seeing that she did not act like the daughter of a family, she was stable and dignified. Unfortunately, she was born in the Qin family and made the Empress Dowager avoid it. Then she gradually alienated. At this time, she immediately followed Qin Ziruo's character. Great discount on sex.
No matter how free and easy it is, if she just loves to be more talented with Shizi, the Empress Dowager can still accept it. The emperor asked her to go to the palace of Chu as a concubine, and she also had nothing to do with Ziruo's own tutoring, but she didn't expect that this girl would do something to recommend herself. Ha, the family tradition of the Qin family is really true. It's different. The two eldest daughters regard etiquette as nothing.
The emperor didn't expect that Qin Ziruo could not wait so much. He was very dissatisfied, but he had to turn around and choose himself. He said, "The seventh sister admires Yuanyang's talent very much, and I also got up because of the queen's words..." That is to say, this is the beginning of the Qin family, and the emperor is not impatient. Let me know.
The Empress Dowager did not talk about the absurdity of the Qin family at this time. At least, she is the queen's father and relatives of the emperor. On the surface, she has to take into account more or less, but it is meaningful: "It is not appropriate for the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion to be a concubine, but the son will be a vassal in the future, and it is not aggrieved Qin family. It is not appropriate to serve a concubine without a name. With such a sister, hasn't the queen seen anyone? Well, since he has his own plans, I don't think you, the prince, as a father, should not worry too much. Even the former emperor often praised him as a minister of the pillar, and naturally he will not be capricious.
The Empress Dowager simply took this opportunity to discuss the specific date of the canonization of King Xian, and decided directly: "You'er is also ready to go to Chuzhou to repair the mansion. Since she went to the vassal, she did not have the reason to temporarily stay in the official post."
At this point, not only the incident of the side concubine was completely exposed, but also made a conclusion that Yu Yu went to the vassals. The emperor's heart was full of fire, and he did not dare to disobey the empress dowager. He had to swallow his anger and gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only pick up Qin Ziruo to vent his anger and scold her for acting rashly.
Qin Ziruo also felt aggrieved. Her trip was still ineffective. If she did nothing, she would still be rejected by the son of the world. However, she was not ordinary, and she did not want to see the emperor blame Yu Yu. After being reprimanded in silence, she admonished: "The son refused this time on the grounds of a previous oath, and he did not even refuse to marry. The daughters of Su and Yan? Su Ying will undoubtedly die. In the future, the Duke of Wei and the Yan family will no longer marry their daughters into the palace of the King of Chu.
The emperor thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason. So what is Yu Yu's intention?
"The son is indeed an affectionate and righteous man." Qin Ziruo sighed: "Your superior, if that's the case, Mo Ruo..."
When the emperor heard Ziruo's words, he raised his eyebrows: "Is the seventh sister really willing to do this?"
