Chapter 20 Working Together
After writing a piece of paper, it is natural that Qin Mubai will come up with advice and deliberate sentences. After a while, Qin Shubao had to look at his son, who was 'wisdom and almost demonous'.
Although Qin Mubai's official experience in the Zhenguan Dynasty was almost zero, he did not know much about the emperor himself. But in his opinion, human practice is an article. The so-called politics is actually the knowledge of getting along with people. The experience of getting along with so many different people in his previous life and extremely rich life experience make his ability in this regard not bad.
After the matter was done, Qin Shubao really breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm old for my father. The older a person is, especially the longer he is an official, the less timid he will be. Qin Shubao shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that you still have a clever plan to eliminate the emperor's heart knot? This is a sharp blade hanging overhead. You'd better be careful. Although you are smart, you still have to warn you as a father that you should keep a low profile and cautious in everything. Don't be smart and treat others as fools. Well, you can take care of the rest. I won't ask about it anymore for my father.
"Father, don't worry." Qin Mubai himself breathed a sigh of relief.
It's like walking on thin ice, but it finally came over. I'm not afraid of thieves, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. We must find a way to make the emperor cut off the idea of Wu Mei Niang, so as to eliminate his hatred for me from the root.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Mubai sent his family to Wu Wangfu for a holiday and didn't go out all day. After the nightfall, facing the stars and moon at night, he patted the door of the Wu family of the Duke of Ying.
The Wu family obviously smelled like a frightened bird. The family came to open the door, followed by Wu Yuanqing to peep. As soon as he saw Qin Mubai, he panicked: "My God, how dare you come here!"
After saying that, he rushed forward and blocked the door to prevent Qin Mubai from entering the door.
With a bang, the door that was about to be closed was stuck by something. Wu Yuanqing took a closer look and found that it was an apricot-yellow scroll.
"The Edict?!" Wu Yuanqing finally saw such a thing and screamed for a moment.
"If you have the courage, you can pull the door a little tighter and smash it." Qin Mubai said coldly.
Wu Yuanqing immediately panicked, hurriedly opened the door in person, and welcomed Qin Mubai in with a frightened face.
"Captain Qin... Um Xian's brother-in-law, er Qin..." Wu Yuanqing stammed for a moment. He didn't know what to call Qin Mubai. He slapped his mouth and said in one breath, "What is this imperial edict?"
"Do you know by yourself?" Qin Mubai casually threw the emperor's imperial edict of marriage to him and strode in: "Where is Mei Niang? I want to talk to him in detail in person."
"Miscellaneous room in the backyard." Wu Yuanqing answered casually and hurried to open the imperial edict.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Mubai shouted in a low voice, stopped and turned around, staring at him like a knife.
At this moment, Wu Yuanqing has also finished reading the imperial edict. He was stunned and muttered, "Give marriage... The emperor actually gave you marriage. This... This is too concerific!"
"Wu Yuanqing!"
"Ah? I'm there!!"
Qin Mubai walked to him. His tall figure was half a head taller than Wu Yuanqing. He stared at him condescendingly and said in a low voice, "Do you remember what you promised me?"
"Remember, remember. Good brother-in-law, you calm your anger first, hehe, hehe!" Wu Yuanqing smiled bitterly with extreme embarrassment, bowed his hands and said, "Isn't the room not cleaned up for a while? Tomorrow, I will invite them to stay in the main house early tomorrow morning. Is that good?"
"It couldn't be better." Qin Mubai grabbed the imperial edict, grabbed a man to lead the way, and strode to the backyard.
Wu Yuanqing wiped a cold sweat, shook his head and muttered to himself, "Ono is really a mourning star. It's not enough to provoke people surnamed Qin, but also to provoke the emperor. Originally, I thought that Onozhong could never enter the palace because of the marriage contract first, and then the person surnamed Qin would never dare to have anything to do with Onozhong. Who dares to mess with the woman the emperor doesn't want? Unexpectedly, the emperor and Qin were jealous, and the Qin won... He planned to drive the Xiao Yezhong family away tomorrow to avoid the limelight. Why did this matter suddenly turn around again? It's really weird. I don't understand. I don't understand! ......”
All the way to the backyard, to a row of dilapidated small miscellaneous houses. Qin Mubai saw a yellow light the size of chrysanthemum beans in one of the rooms, and there was a low sob.
He stopped and listened. Qin Mubai heard a low voice from inside.
"Mother, it's all because of the annoying Qin Mubai. What's the pretentiousness? Run to provoke me. If it hadn't been for him, I would have gone into the palace now. Maybe I can become a concubine queen in the future!" Obviously, it was Wu Zhao's voice, which was not only not a trace of sadness, but also full of righteous indignation.
"My son, don't be stupid." Mrs. Yang was crying and said, "My mother is from the royal family, and I know everything there. Every woman who goes there is like falling into the bottomless abyss. What's good? On the surface, everyone there seems to enjoy the glory and wealth, but many people have never seen the emperor in their lives and can only be lonely to be a white-headed maid of honor. There are more people who died in intrigues and intrigues. How can you be Mu Bai about this now? At most, you can only blame the emperor for inserting a foot and destroying your beautiful marriage!"
"Well, that's someone else! It will definitely not end like this when my daughter enters the palace! Mother, you are so confused. How can you blame the emperor for shielding Qin Mubai? What's good about him!"
......
Qin Mubai heard this conversation outside the door and smiled: That's right. This is the character of Wu Mei Niang. If she were like an ordinary woman, she would not have become the only queen in history. Now she has no chance to enter the palace, so she can only marry me, Qin Mubai... This is interesting!
The mother and daughter were angry and chatting happily. Qin Mubai knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Qin Mubai."
There was a noise in the room. Mrs. Yang came forward to open the door and looked at Qin Mubai in horror: "Sird son-in-law, how dare you come here?"
"If you dare to come, you must come." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, stuffed the imperial edict to Mrs. Yang, and said, "Mrs. Yang, I want to talk to Mei Niang alone, okay?"
Mrs. Yang hurriedly opened the imperial edict and took a look, and suddenly her face was full of surprise: "Great... Mei Niang, the emperor has given you a marriage! OK, OK, virtuous son-in-law, you talk about it and go to the next room to rest for your mother.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for your success." Qin Mubai bowed his hand, and Mrs. Yang left happily.
Wu Mei Niang was indifferent when she heard the news. She pouted with no face. An old ** sitting in the room did not look at Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai covered the door, walked to her side without hurry, dragged a pony to sit down, and said, "Mei Niang, you don't seem to be surprised at all when you hear the news of the emperor's marriage?"
"What's so strange!" Wu Mei Niang glanced at Qin Mubai and hummed, "Isn't there a lesson from Zheng Renji's daughter? The emperor will definitely not force me into the palace again. Since he can't enter the palace, the emperor can't save face. In order to show the law, morality and the king's heart, of course, he has to pretend to be generous to marry!"
"Smart, really smart!" Qin Mubai clapped his chin a few times and immediately looked at the little girl in front of him, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old - he was so smart and insightful at a young age, and he really had the talent of a great politician!
"Well, you don't need to praise me! It's all your fault!" Wu Mei Niang stared at Qin Mubai with hatred and muttered, "If it weren't for you, I would have entered the palace to be a noble concubine. Who would marry you, a seven-grade sesame mung bean official!"
"Forgive you once. This is against women's morality. I dare to say it in the future, I will serve Wei Zhenfu's family law. Qin Mubai deliberately straightened his face and said seriously.
"Hmm - you also know how to bully a little woman like me!" Wu Mei Niang turned her face angrily.
"Who said that? I came here today to love you. Qin Mubai said, "Mei Niang, let's not talk about angry words and nonsense. Since you are so smart, I will make it clear to you - the truth in front of you is that you can no longer enter the palace. And no one in the world dares to marry you except me, Qin Mubai. Don't you doubt this?
"..." Wu Mei Niang was depressed and entangled for a long time, and then said, "What's the matter? I know that after Zheng Renji's daughter was divorced by the emperor, she has not married until now. She hides in the countryside and dares not go out. No one dares to mess with the woman the emperor doesn't want. Since the emperor has been a generous and good man to marry us this time, I have to marry you, and you don't dare to give me a divorce, right?
"As long as you understand." Qin Mubai said, "That means that now we are already grasshoppers on a rope and must advance and retreat together. We work together to lose and co-prosper. If one party makes a mistake, it will be doomed, and the other party will not die.
"Yes, I know. Can't I accept my fate? But don't think that this can make me eat and live. In case you make me unhappy one day, I would rather cut my hair than marry you. Or, let's all be finished together, hum!" Wu Mei Niang lengthened her voice and said very unwillingly.
This little woman is smart enough, strong enough, tough enough, and she is really an opponent!
After sighing secretly for a while, Qin Mubai said, "Mei Niang, it's not enough to accept your fate. The emperor is also a man, and the woman that men don't like to be taken away by a knife. Now he just has to make concessions and pretend to be generous because of ethics and law. It's hard to say whether there are pimples and shadows in his heart. If so, there is a sword hanging on our heads all the time. If we make a mistake, it may be the new account and the old account together, and we can't take it.
"Huh?" Wu Mei Niang was a little stunned. Obviously, he may not have taken this into account. After all, she is a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old uninexperienced little girl, and her mind for men is definitely not as thorough as Qin Mubai.
"What do you think we should do? Like Zheng Renji's daughter, she hides from the emperor's sight for a lifetime? I don't want to!" Wu Meiniang said.
"I don't want to, and it's not my style to escape." Qin Mubai said, "I came here today to discuss with you. There is only one way to eliminate this shadow and knot in the emperor's heart.
"What's the way?"
"Revoke the emperor's nostalgment for you, so that he is no longer interested in you and even hates you. In this way, he will not regret not getting you and missing you. I'm even glad that I didn't invite you to the palace at the beginning. Qin Mubai said.
"You disfigured me? You are too cruel!" Wu Mei Niang suddenly jumped up and stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes.
"Am I such a person?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, waved his hand to Wu Mei Niang to sit down and said, "You are very smart. You know that the emperor is going to invite you to the palace. He is taking a fancy to your beautiful face. But my method is by no means to disfigure you.
"Can't you make it clear at once?" Wu Mei Niang took a quiet breath and sat down.
"Okay, make it clear at once." Qin Mubai said, "In fact, it is not difficult to do this. First of all, we need to figure out what kind of woman the emperor likes. Let me ask you, who is the favorite woman in the emperor's life?
"How do I know this?" Wu Meiniang snorted coldly.
"But I know." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said word by word, "The late Empress Changsun!"
"Oh? It's her!" Wu Mei Niang's beautiful eyes flowed with wisdom. She blinked her eyes and nodded, "I understand what you mean. Since the emperor loves a virtuous and virtuous woman like Empress Changsun, I behaved the opposite of Empress Changsun in everything, right?
"Smart! Mei Niang, you are so smart! Come on, I'll give you a deep kiss!" Qin Mubai laughed and was about to kiss her in the face.
"Get out!" Wu Mei Niang couldn't help jumping away with tears and laughing, and said to herself thoughtfully, "This is indeed a good way to dispel the emperor's thoughts on me from the root... But! Why should I dispel the emperor's thoughts on me? Hateful!"
"Ha ha!" Qin Mubai smiled carelessly. He finally saw that Wu Mei Niang was an unyielding guy. He clearly accepted it in his heart, but he refused to be soft.
Wu Mei Niang stared at Qin Mubai angrily, put her hands on her chest and turned her face away, and muttered to herself, "Naring guy! Who wants to work with you at your mercy? Let me pretend to be crazy and become a bitch. Why don't you try it? Hateful..."
"It seems that Mei Niang has understood the core of this strategy, and I am relieved." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "When the emperor hears that many of your rumors hate you, that is, our merits and virtues are perfect, and we can justly talk about marriage."
"It's as if I'd like to marry you... Wow, why am I so miserable? I can't help marrying anyone, and I have to be at the mercy of you, the prodigal son before I get married!" Wu Mei Niang stamped her feet in shame and annoyance, and almost hated it to cry.
"Don't blame me, Mei Niang." Qin Mubai approached and whispered, "It's not me who is at your mercy. In fact, I'm also being manipulated - it's fate that is at the mercy of us.
"Fate... Why doesn't it die?" Wu Mei Niang stamped her feet and scolded with hatred.
"Good scolding, let fate die! We have to control our own lives by ourselves. Qin Mubai gently patted her round shoulder, "The Hou door is as deep as the sea. Believe me, you won't regret marrying me.
"The ghost believes in you, hum! ......”
