In Chen Guogong's Mansion, Eunuch Liang has been away for a long time. Chen Zhuoxin is still looking at the door, motionless, his face solemn and thoughtful.
"Master Chen!" Butler Yin Hong stood behind Chen Guogong at some point.
Yin Hong has a slender figure and a pretty face, but his eyes are fierce. He listened for a long time and realized that he was really not worth it for Chen Guogong. Every time that stupid woman took the credit for things like "Chen sesame and rotten millet"!
Forcing the Duke to do this and that! If you are not satisfied with what you are doing, let that Eunuch Liang nag you!
If it doesn't work, just say "get sick"!
Why didn't the Duke let that stupid woman die of illness? Once and for all!
So annoying!
"My lord!" Yin Hong finally couldn't help but said:
"Why should we be subject to that stupid woman!"
Chen Zhuoxin had a cold expression and frowned. He waved his hand to stop Yin Hong's complaints and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Go and check, how many people have died in the palace in the past year, and which of them are related to Concubine Jiao Xian?"
Yin Hong cupped his hands and bowed his head, with a look of reluctance on his face.
When Chen Zhuoxin saw this, he smiled fondly, patted Yin Hong on the shoulder and comforted him:
"I'm not accommodating her because of her beauty, but I really need a high-ranking concubine to help me in the palace. It took a lot of effort to get her to this position. She still has value, so it's a pity that they were separated. Oh! Look at that time, if Concubine Jiao Xian hadn’t helped and the Minister of War had not resigned from his post to observe filial piety, how could it have been my turn to act as the Minister of War? "
Yin Hong was silent.
He knew about this. On that day, Concubine Jiao Xian, on the emperor's order, invited the mother of the Minister of War and several other royal ladies into the palace for a banquet. As a result, they were all poisoned!
Among them, the mother of the Minister of War was the oldest and failed to save her life!
Concubine Jiao Xian and several other wives were all poisoned and fell into coma.
Concubine Jiao Xian gushed blood from her mouth and nose, and the imperial doctor even ordered her to prepare for the funeral!
Later, Concubine Jiao Xian survived the catastrophe, but she rested for a while, but later she still suffered from "spleen and stomach disharmony".
In order to compensate Concubine Jiao Xian, the emperor allowed her to assist in the management of the Sixth Palace.
However, Concubine Jiao Xian refused and offered to raise the fifth prince who had lost his biological mother.
Unless the minister's mother dies, the Minister of War, He Lianzhong, will not be able to resign.
He Lianzhong once served as a guerrilla general in the Li Jiajun and was very close to the Li Jiajun.
After Helianzhong resigned from his post to observe filial piety, one of the two assistant ministers in the Ministry of War was the deputy general of the old Qin Guogong, and the other was the son-in-law of Ning Guogong.
The prestige and power of these founding princes made Emperor Yong'an very afraid.
In front of them, he, an emperor who had never been on the battlefield and had no outstanding political achievements, felt very unconfident.
This time, after Helianzhong resigned, the emperor took advantage of the situation and asked Chen Guogong to act as Minister of War.
Compared with several other princes, Chen Zhuoxin had a "shady background", which was just enough to satisfy the emperor's vanity.
However, the Minister of War's mother was poisoned to death in the palace, and there must be an explanation.
Concubine Jiao Xian risked her life and perfectly avoided suspicion.
In the end, he dealt with a few palace maids serving dishes and settled the matter hastily.
He Lianzhong, the Minister of War, knew that these people were scapegoats, but he just thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with him and the Li Jiajun, and wanted to give him a blow and force him to resign. Considering the whole family and the Li Jiajun's situation, he did not dare Looking into it deeply, I swallowed this breath.
When the emperor saw that Concubine Jiao Xian was almost killed, he did not doubt her at all. He only thought that the murderer was among the other concubines. However, their husbands' families were all in high positions, and their grievances and grievances were entangled. To be honest, he was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with. !
Apart from anything else, there was Concubine Qin’s sister-in-law inside. If it was Concubine Qin’s sister-in-law who did it, could the emperor still deal with Duke Qin?
Although, the emperor had reason to suspect that the Duke of Qin wanted to promote his younger brother to the position of minister!
Over there, Concubine Qin was also itching with hatred! There is nothing you can do!
It must be Concubine Jiao Xian!
It must be Concubine Jiao Xian!
It must be Concubine Jiao Xian!
They have been fighting for so many years, and she knows Concubine Jiao Xian best!
Concubine Jiao Xian became so cruel that she could even kill herself!
Others, including Concubine Jiao Xian’s own parents, would not care!
The seventh prince, the son of Concubine Qin, once had a fight with the thirteenth emperor Zhou Chezi.
Zhou Che was young at that time, so of course he was at a disadvantage.
Eunuch Liang was so anxious that he stepped forward quickly. He did not dare to pull the two apart, so he used his body to protect the Thirteenth Prince Zhou Che, and received several punches from the Seventh Prince.
After Concubine Qin and Concubine Jiao Xian hurried over, Concubine Qin was very apologetic. She apologized to Concubine Jiao Xian, reprimanded her son in person, and wanted to give Zhou Che some jewelry.
Zhou Che nestled in Eunuch Liang's arms and looked at Concubine Jiao Xian aggrievedly. His eyes were filled with tears, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, Concubine Jiao Xian just said goodbye to Concubine Qin lightly, and then said coldly to Zhou Che:
"You don't know how to run if you can't beat me. You deserve to be taught a lesson! You're not as good as others! You have to admit defeat!"
Concubine Qin’s mother and son were petrified at that time!
The key to such a strategy of killing several birds with one stone is that Concubine Jiao Xian goes into battle herself!
For a woman who dared to fight for her life, Chen Guogong was really a little in awe and a little afraid to get angry.
What's more, the bond between them doesn't stop there.
Since the last time the mayor of Jili County sang loudly at the "Good Neighbor", he has been in high spirits and has taken on a new look.
I was very excited for several days.
What a sense of accomplishment!
Jijun and the others didn't see it!
Those guests were all dumbfounded!
Some people sang along!
Unlike in the Prince's Mansion, those maids and servants only know how to have fun!
I don’t understand music theory at all! I don’t understand the true meaning of singing at all!
At the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the status of singing girls was not high.
However, thirty years ago, there was a singer who secretly helped many old, weak, sick and disabled people with her singing money. Every time she went to deliver money, food and clothing to these people, she would cover her face with a silk handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers.
Over time, she became known as the "Furong Lady".
Lady Furong helped many poor, weak, sick and disabled people day after day.
More than ten years later, a child she helped passed the Jinshi examination. This Jinshi was grateful for Madam Furong's kindness, so he found Madam Furong, and wanted to support Madam Furong as an elder in return.
At this time, Madam Furong was already over forty and had stopped singing. However, because of her superb singing skills, she taught students in the classroom.
Lady Furong rejected the Jinshi's kindness. She felt that if she lived in the Jinshi's home, it would affect the Jinshi's reputation and future.
The emperor at that time was the father of the current emperor. After the old emperor heard about it, he was moved by Madam Furong's righteous deed, and against all opinions, he named Madam Furong "Ren of Furong".
When Furong An passed away, the line of farewells stretched for dozens of miles.
Therefore, singing is not untouchable in the Zhou Dynasty. Even if the ladies of the official family get together, they will sometimes sing a song. It is not surprising.
Therefore, it is very common for the Lord of Qili County to sing in his mansion.
Li Li is the head of the county, but with makeup, he can sing as he pleases!
After singing once, I became addicted, and I would often ask Ji Jun to join me, hoping to show off my singing voice again next time.
How dare Jijun let her sing in "Good Neighbor" again? But Ji Jun didn't say it clearly.
Because Ji Jun knew that it was not Qili's fault. The Lord of Qili County was out of tune. This was natural. Zhou Biao was also out of tune. He didn't know whether they followed their father or their mother.
People who are out of tune are also qualified to love music, and we cannot discriminate against others just because they are out of tune.
But we can’t let them treat this place as a karaoke hall!
Ji Jun felt very overwhelmed.
Qi Li blocked Ji Jun with a smile.
"I heard that you "Good Neighbors" sing every two or three days, and it's already the fourth day! Why aren't you singing yet? Don't be polite to me! We are relatives! If I don't help you, who will?"
Ji Jun, "..." go to the left.
Qili's eyes were shining brightly,
"How about I reluctantly help you more, once a day? I don't want any wages! If you sing for three days, you will get a little red flower!"
Ji Jun, "..." go to the right.
Qi Li perseveres,
"How about singing for five days and getting one flower? How about seven days?"
Ji Jun, "..." I turned around and went back the way I came.
Qi Li went around to block Ji Jun, put his hands on his hips,
"Hmph! Okay! I don't want a single little red flower! I can sing it for you for free, right? profiteer!"
Ji Jun, "..."
My head is buzzing at this moment!
Can I give you a basket of red flowers?
Ji Jun surrendered and sighed:
"Li Li, my good county master, don't you just want to——"
Don’t you just want to see Zhang Jisheng? Hurry up, throw Zhang Jisheng to you, and leave!
"Don't you just want to sing?" Ji Min approached, intercepted Ji Jun's words, smiled and winked at her, and said:
"You wait two days, my cousin plans to write a particularly good song for you to sing! You sing so well, you should sing a new song! Give our "good neighbor" a new look! Let the "good neighbor" lead Give people warmth, prosperity, hope, happiness, positivity, and upliftment! Let us "good neighbors" contribute to the country and the people and shine! Let the song of the Lord of Jili County bring a prosperous new atmosphere to the whole capital. ! Show me that the great fortune of the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous!"
Hearing this, Li Li said happily:
"Ni'er still understands me! Yes! A brand new look! The country's destiny is prosperous!"
Now, the names have changed!
Ji Jun glared at Ji Nin, who smiled at her and shook his head slightly.
Then Ji Min frowned and said:
"Writing new songs is very laborious. My cousin is very busy every day. Alas, that tea bag—"
"I'll pack it! One hundred packs a day!"
"Oh, it's summer, and the consumption of mung bean flour is particularly high -" Ji Min sighed.
"I'll grind it, ten pounds a day is no problem!" Yao Li was very excited!
Ji Min said worriedly:
"But, you usually only do one of these tasks?"
Qi Li patted his chest and said:
"No problem! Besides, I also write advertisements!"
Ji Min showed an expression of relief and admiration, and said sincerely:
"Li Li, you are worthy of being the county lord and a royal model! My cousin once said that there are two ways of life in the world: rotting and burning. Selfish and greedy people will choose to rot and stink! Noble and brave people will burn. Light yourself up, illuminate others and the world! Zuili, I am optimistic about you!"
Qi Li straightened his chest, feeling proud and solemnly patted Ji Min's shoulder.
"Yeah! Don't worry! I'll burn well!"
Watching Ji Li running away happily, Ji Jun opened his eyes wide and looked at Ji Min hopelessly, constantly warning himself in his heart:
This is dear...
No matter how you deceive yourself, you have to admit it!
Ji Min covered his mouth and smiled when he saw this:
"Cousin, if you write a new song for Zuili, does anyone know that it's out of tune?"
