Chapter 138 Ren Qiu

The auspicious period for Princess Changyang was May 24. At that time, Guanzhong was already hot. The dream of Tang advocated the beauty. Chang'an's beautiful name of Princess Changyang is well-known. Near the wedding, even if she only wore three thin gauzes inside and outside, she felt unbearable. As a result, the ice basin on the ice hall continued, all around The dense bamboo curtain hung low all day long, and it was better for several powerful maids to fan in turn.

Her biological mother, Princess Yang, is getting older and fatter, but more afraid of heat than Changyang. Fengchun has always been lukewarm to this concubine's mother, and she is not as dependent on Boling Cui's imperial consort. At this time, the Taiji Palace is difficult to deal with the humidity and heat, far less comfortable than the Daming Palace. Although the Shang Palace Bureau will not lack her ice basin, it is still flustered. Therefore, taking advantage of her daughter's about to decline, she will come to the Daming Palace from time to point out.

On this day, she was looking carefully at Changyang's dowry list. The princesses of Mengtang have always been favored, and Changyang was the first one to get married after Fengchun ascended the throne. The marriage was decided by Emperor Xianzong, and neither the palace nor the Ministry of Ceremonies could wrong her.

Princess Yang was very satisfied. She pointed to a pair of gold cups on the list and said, "I had seen this thing once in the inner vault of the previous emperor. At that time, Ji Meiren was favored by the previous emperor and wanted it, but the previous emperor did not agree. I thought that everyone would leave them to Yuanxiu now, but I didn't think about it. I gave it to you."

Since the Empress Dowager Wenhua left, because Emperor Xianzong did not stand again, although the palace affairs were handed over to the imperial concubine Hui at that time, Lu Li and Cui Hua, like the imperial concubine, came from five families and seven families, and each had their own favors. At least the latter two had at least a daughter and an eldest daughter, but Princess Hui only raised Yuan. Xiu, so even if she has a reputation for virtue in the palace, it is difficult to suppress all the wind of competition for favor in the harem.

Princess Yang is the best among them. When she gained power, she didn't even pay attention to Princess Lu Li, not to mention the beauty who only gave birth to Princess Yunzhou. When the beauty asked Emperor Xianzong for the pattern of gold cups, she failed. Although she lost face, others didn't get them and kept putting them in the inner library. But I didn't expect that now that the inner library is in Fengchun's hands, he will actually take it out to add makeup to Changyang. Although Ji Meiren has passed away for many years, Princess Yang still feels happy.

Princes Changyang heard this and became interested: "My father has always been generous with the harem, but he is reluctant to give it to the favored Ji family?" With that, he asked someone to bring it up and have a look.

I ordered to go down. After a while, I repaired the hand-to-hand paint plate and carefully presented it up.

Lifting the brocade covered on the plate, Changyang's eyes couldn't help but light up, but saw a pair of gold cups in front of him. The wall was closed inside, and there was a gold foil support under the curved rivets, which fixed it to the cup body. The whole cup body has been carefully polished. If you look closely, you can notice the uniform fine lines on the abdomen.

The abdomen is smooth, and one of the four pairs of Ruyi cloud head patterns is divided into four, each with a delicate group flower in the middle. The group flower is made of forged gold foil and cleverly attached to the belly of the cup. Each stamens is a rice grain-sized but dazzling red gemstone. The outermost edge of the group flower and Ruyi cloud head pattern is dense and small golden beads. There are also four cloud head patterns under the cup, with gold beads on the outside, and green, red, yellow, black and white gemstones on the inside.

set off a layer of varnished ebony tray, which is really dazzling and unbearable.

"It's really a good thing." Princess Changyang looked at it and praised, "The fifth brother is so good!"

"There are many good things in the inner library of the former emperor. Even you have got this pair of gold cups. I don't know what everyone will give when Princess Yuanxiu falls in the future." When Princess Yang saw that there was only one person around, she said sourly, "It was only mentioned last time that your wedding date. The 'fire tree silver flower' coral tree she sent to congratulate you is only one in my private library. Originally, it was originally intended to make you an object at the bottom of the box!"

Princes Changyang was originally in a good mood. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help frowning and then said angrly, "Mother, Yuanxiu is the sister of the fifth brother or the daughter of the fifth brother. For the sake of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, the fifth brother should treat her particularly well."

"The late emperor didn't love you..." When Princess Yang served Xianzong, she was jealous and strong. This made the imperial concubine a little reluctant to calm down, so she was glad that Changyang got good things. Thinking about how could Fengchun wrong Yuanxiu, she suddenly became jealous. "After the Empress Dowager Wenhua died at the beginning , her dowry and the rewards she has received over the years have been sealed and handed over to everyone for collection. Empress Dowager Zhaoxian has no children and will have to accompany Yuanxiu in the future. These two maternal families are all famous families. Although the Guo family is no longer there, it was also the family of the county. The two empress dowager alone are enough to support. The eldest princess's appearance came, not to mention everyone's selfishness in it. Speaking of which, you are still her sister, that is, when Princess Pingjin fell, the former emperor..."

Changyang was extremely satisfied with Cui Fengwu and couldn't wait to fall in order to stay together for a long time. He didn't care too much about these things. Hearing what Princess Yang said, the more he became, the more outrageous he interrupted: "Let's take down the things first - by the way, ask someone to ask. Are the melons and fruits sent by the middle palace yesterday good? If you have a cut, come up to relieve the summer with your mother's concubine.

Xiu silk promised to hold the golden basket and the patterned gold cup. She had just gone out, but Xiulian came in, bent her knees and said, "A family, someone in front of the palace gate claims to be the chief of the king of Qi and wants to see the family!"

Changyang and Princess Yang looked at each other and were a little surprised: "What's his name?"

"The waiter who came to report the news said that his name was Chen Xiu."

Chen Xiu is indeed the long history of the king of Qi in the mansion in Chang'an. He is smart and capable. He has been following the king of Qi for many years. Before the king of Qi went to the fiefdom, he stayed in Chang'an, which showed trust and dependence. Over the years, although Chen Xiu has communicated with Empress Yang's mother and daughter in the name of sending something to the palace from time to time, he rarely worshipped him in person. When I asked for a meeting at the palace gate, it could be seen that something must have happened.

Princes Changyang made a decision and ordered, "Go there in person and bring him here."

Xiulian agreed and was ordered to go. Princess Yang was worried about her son. She was not even in the mood to look at the cool melons and fruits presented on the silk. She asked Changyang worriedly, "You are more informed than me here - what's the matter in the dynasty these days?"

"It rained heavily after the Dragon Boat Festival, slowing down the farming..." Changyang said confusedly, "This is a good thing."

The mother and daughter guessed for a long time and did not guess what it was, so they had to suppress their suspicion and wait for Chen Xiu.

Fortunately, Xiulian brought people soon after. Chen Xiunian was about 40 years old, with a long face, eight-character eyebrows, slightly weak skin, and a slightly fat body. She wore a brown-bottomed round-neck gauze and a soft head. I don't know whether it was caused by the hot weather and coming all the way from the previous dynasty, or because of nervousness. The clothes under the round collar were soaked by sweat. It is wet and mysterious.

He entered the cold hall and felt the cool air coming from his face. Then he looked at the ice basin on the hall. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly bowed his body and bowed his hand to the hall: "See the imperial concubine and your lord!"

"Get up, don't be polite." Princess Yang thought about the king of Qi, waved her hand impatiently and asked, "What on earth happened?"

"back to the imperial concubine, your lord." Chen Xiu stood up straight, lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a wry smile, "Lang Jun killed someone after drinking in Pingkangfang. The Chang'an County magistrate reported the matter to Sanfu, but the current Jing Zhaoyin is Meng Guangyi!"

Meng Guangyi was one of the three scholars in the reign of Emperor Xianzong. Originally, he was supposed to be the leader in terms of talent and learning, but because the other two of the three A were at least ten years old, he was young and handsome at that time. Xianzong was specially characterized by exploring flowers. When he crossed the horse and traveling across the street, he was liked by Zhang Mingzhen, who was the imperial historian at that time. He was strong first to do it first. His niece Zhang was betrothed to him.

Zhang Mingzhen has now returned to his hometown, but his younger brother is Zhang Mingzhu, the teacher of the son of the country and the teacher of the king of Han. Although the Zhang family in Nanyang is not as good as the five surnames and seven hopes, these generations are straight and loyal, which can be said to be proud. What he loves to do is to punish Yan Zhi and impeach nobles.

Meng Guangyi can get Zhang Mingzhen's green eyes, which can be imagine his human temperament. This man's official voice in Chang'an Square is excellent, and the people call him Meng Lang to show his closeness. Jing Zhaoyin was listed as one of the three assistants. It seems to be beautiful, but in fact, it is the most difficult. In the Han Dynasty, this position was known as a hub, that is, under the wheel of the emperor, too close.

In Chang'an City, Wang families are like forests and high-ranking officials are like rain. The first Zhumen are lined up one after another. Ordinary people may be related to which famous family after a few circles. In addition, there are also a large number of clan nobles, intertwined and complex personnel. One of the most ordinary theft cases is frightened when investigated... Some people in this dynasty have felt it. "How can Yin Jing be moved to the next place? Please give me an index of 15 people in ten years.

Therefore, many people would rather be a free official or be demoted than take this position.

And Meng Guangyi has been in office for more than seven years since he became Jing Zhaoyin, and no one in the court has been able to say anything in front of him!

It is also no wonder that Chen Xiu, who can be entrusted by the king of Qi to stay in Chang'an, can't wait to come to the palace for help. Originally, as his identity, if this matter fell into the hands of Chang'an County, he only needed to take the post of the royal palace to say it. There is no need for him to come forward in person, and he will naturally release people, but now the case Zi has been transferred to Meng Guangyi, but even if the king of Qi himself goes there, he may not have this face!

Princess Yang and Princess Changyang were shocked when they heard this. The former didn't care about Meng Guangyi first. They slapped the table angrily and scolded, "Why did Qiu Lang kill people in Pingkang Square? How old did he know how to go to the place? How on earth did you take care of Langjun? Or who deliberately instructed you to lure him to linger in the powder bush at a young age so as not to get in the way of people's eyes?

Empress Yang's words were fierce, which made Chen Xiu sweat on her forehead and tried her best to argue: "The people around Lang Jun are all the legacy of the king. They are all honest. How can you persuade Lang Jun to go to those places? It's just that Lang Jun is inevitably bored in other courtyards, and it's also a good time when he is young and good. However, he often travels with the children of several families, or may be seduced by them. Because the five kings have not been edicted to return to Chang'an, he was really busy for a few days. After the heavy five years, he took inventory of the things given by the saints. Arrange to send it to the fiefdom... For a period of time, I didn't have time to visit Lang Jun. Unexpectedly, today's plan to take time to go tomorrow. The little man next to Lang Jun knocked on the door to see him. After the subordinate knew about it, he rushed to the Chang'an County government office and knew that Lang Jun had been taken away by Meng Guangyi. This matter--"

"Okay, sit down first." Princess Changyang finally opened her mouth and ordered Xiulian to enter a crescent stool and give Chen Xiu to sit down. She gently patted Princess Yang's hand across the seat and whispered, "The third sister-in-law is not without a son. No matter how much the mother and third brother love Qiu Lang, will she still take away the position of Zhao Lang's son to him? Although the third sister-in-law doesn't like Qiu Lang, she now takes Zhaolang to follow her third brother in the fiefdom. Qiu Lang has never been in front of her. What's more, the third sister-in-law was born in the Sun family. Although the eldest Sun family is not as good as the early years of this dynasty, it is the mother of Queen Wende! Before the matter was clarified, why did the mother concubine say something first and spread it out, saying that you ignored the imperial concubine for an illegitimate son, but instead recruited the third sister-in-law for Qiu Lang!"

Empress Yang wanted to say something, but she was blocked by the words of Princess Changyang. They said that Qiu Lang was the illegitimate son of Li Fu, the king of Qi. Because he was born before Li Fu married the concubine, his biological mother was humble, so she was not recognized. In addition, the eldest grandson of Princess Qi was pregnant less than a year after she entered the door, and then gave birth to Qi. Wang's legitimate son Li Zhao, who could not even have the surname Li, followed his mother's surname.

Princess of Qi's eldest grandson is naturally extremely disgusted with her husband's illegitimate child. However, for Princess Yang and Princess Changyang, no matter how disgraced Ren Qiu's birth is, it is also the bone and blood of the king of Qi. Therefore, she has a lot of care, which also makes Changsun dare not do anything except for not allow him to enter the royal palace, which is flat. An'an's life is now, and even Chen Xiu, the chief historian of the royal palace, can't help but pay attention to his safety. As soon as he knew that he was in trouble, he immediately went to the palace to ask for help - so that even if he could not be saved in the end, it would be easy to explain in front of the king of Qi.

Mengtang Li Shi calls himself a descendant of Laozi, advocates Taoism, Taoism health care, and pays attention to congenital essence. It comes from Huachi, that is, between the two kidneys, Taoism is the foundation of the form, giving birth to children, strengthening the body, and taking this as the most important thing. Ren Qiufang was 14 years old and the same age as the princess of Yunzhou. According to the Taoist theory, the man was only stable at the age of 2816. At this age, he lingered in the brothel, and his body and mind were not complete. Those methods in the land of the fence came out casually. It was impossible to fall in, not to mention the most prestigious Pingkangfang in Chang'an. Question mark After a year and a half, she didn't even die. No wonder Princess Yang was furious when she heard that Ren Qiu went to Pingkangfang and immediately suspected Princess Qi.

Changyang persuaded Princess Yang, looked back at Chen Xiu and asked, "You said that Qiulang had been taken away by Meng Guangyi when you rushed to the government of Chang'an County, but you wondered whether he accidentally bumped into Meng Guangyi or the Chang'an County magistrate went to report it?"
