Several officials already knew that two coffins were carried out of the royal palace yesterday, but they did not know what happened. Seeing the tired look on Huang Qiong's face, several officials wanted to ask what happened yesterday. But after several people looked at each other for a few times, they remembered the British king's iron-blooded methods, and in the end no one had the courage to ask Huang Qiong.
It's not that several officials are intentionally curious, but that the British king has a different status now. He is not only the prince who oversees the country, but also the ambassador of the Longyou and Shaanxi Second Roads. Not to mention these fourth- and fifth-rank petty officials, even the second-rank pacifiers and governors have the right to kill first and then report. What's more, their future future and destiny are also in the hands of this British king.
Whether he was promoted, demoted, or even convicted, it all depended on the King of England's thoughts. If the King of England lost a hair in Ningxia Mansion, it would be enough for them to walk away without food. Although the King of England did not summon him on weekdays, they did not dare to disturb him casually. But how dare they really turn a blind eye when this Lord is here in Lingzhou? His eyes were always fixed on the King of England.
Even if there is any disturbance in the cabin, they will be scared to death. Not to mention such a huge thing as carrying out two coffins in the royal palace of the King of England yesterday? Several officials, including Zhang Qian, were frightened when they rushed to the camp after receiving the order. I'm afraid that this master encountered some danger yesterday. They were relieved when they saw that Huang Qiong's skin was not even broken.
When seeing several officials, they all looked puzzled. Huang Qiong just smiled lightly without explaining too much. Huang Qiong, who had barely slept a wink last night, now looked tired. Several officials did not stay too long. But when several officials left, Huang Qiong left Zhang Qian alone. Huang Qiong stood up and paced back and forth indoors for a while.
Although he hesitated, he still told Zhang Qian what happened yesterday. He was told to find Ye Lishi and Wei Mushi after he left and give them some proper care. In his words, although he does not advocate retribution, he does not want to be too ruthless. The two women, no matter what, had served him for a period of time and given him a lot of satisfaction.
Even if they did something like that yesterday, they didn't want to be too ruthless. Moreover, judging from the personalities of the four women, the two of them were at best accomplices in what happened yesterday. As the mastermind, Yeli Mulan, since he committed suicide, he did not want to implicate too many people. Don't pursue their affairs too closely. You should still give them some care.
After explaining to Zhang Qian and finding the second daughter to take care of them, Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, raised her head and said to Zhang Qian: "Those who are now working as coolies in the Yeli and Pingxia tribes, don't abuse them and give them something." You have to give them as much food as you need. I’m trying to find some doctors to look after the sick. Although I can’t let them eat too much, I can still give them as much food as possible.”
"After several water diversion ditches are built and dredged, you will release the remaining people. Before I leave, the king will leave you a few handwritten instructions. You will just follow them. But these people After being released, I can no longer stay in Ningxia Mansion. I will give a message to Lu Anping, as well as the Xijing Hubu Department and the Shaanxi Anping Department, and move them all to Longnan or Shaanxi Road Hanzhong area.
"We also need to speed up the construction of Buddhist temples, not only Buddhist temples, but also some nunneries. As for the future, Ningxia Mansion's affairs will depend on you. I believe you can do a good job, and I believe that I did not misjudge the person at the beginning. However, You should also pay attention to your own safety. Although the rebels on the surface have been eliminated, some people hiding in the dark may not be able to be eliminated."
Regarding Huang Qiong's somewhat worried advice, although he didn't know why the British king suddenly softened his heart, Zhang Qian still nodded slightly, indicating that he would definitely pay attention. Before Zhang Qianlin left, Huang Qiong patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "When I leave tomorrow, don't come to see me off, so as not to be sad. Do it well, I will be waiting in the capital." You triumph."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Zhang Qian didn't say anything. But he suddenly knelt down, kowtowed three times to Huang Qiong, and then stood up and left. Behind him, Huang Qiong kept staring at his back until he completely disappeared before turning around and leaving. Huang Qiong didn't know that what he did was all in the eyes of one person. This person is none other than his direct nephew, the son of Princess Jincheng.
The beloved son of Princess Jincheng is now responsible for the bodyguard of the King of England. When Huang Qiong summoned Ningxia government officials before, he was leading Huang Qiong's soldiers to guard outside Huang Qiong's study. When Huang Qiong met people, as long as it didn't involve too confidential matters, he was usually willing to open the door to avoid getting too upset, so everything Zhang Qian did fell into his eyes.
Seeing that the prefect, who was known for his arrogance in the capital, actually respected Huang Qiong so much, his nephew couldn't help but be a little surprised. You must know that according to legend in the Xungui family, no one can be convinced by the former Jing Zhaoyin, who is known as the most talented person in the Xungui family in Da Qi Dynasty. Kowtowing to someone, whether the person in front of him is an emperor or a deposed prince, is probably just a superficial gesture.
But now, this arrogant current prefect actually kowtows to his ninth uncle. And he could see that these kowtows were really sincere. Because when Zhang Qian came out, the black spots on his forehead caused by kowtowing too hard fell into his eyes. To be able to subdue Zhang Qian, who has always been arrogant and unconvinced by anyone but himself, so completely.
Although on the surface, Huang Qiong never seemed to have any special care for him. But during the entire process of countering the rebellion in Ningxia Mansion, he was always with him. I once followed Huang Qiong in the Battle of Huanzhou, and I already had a sense of admiration for Huang Qiong. He himself can be regarded as a proud and arrogant person, and he admires his ninth uncle's skills even more.
You know, as the only biological son of the most prestigious eldest princess in the Da Qi clan. Huang Qiong's direct nephew is also a very arrogant master. No one in Beijing has ever accepted it. Even if it is his own biological grandfather, the current emperor only respects him more. To say he admires him is far from enough. In his opinion, his grandfather's methods were still a bit soft.
As for his direct uncles, although he still maintains some respect on the surface, in fact, he doesn't like any of them at all. In his opinion, he is these uncles, and to put it bluntly, they are just some useless people. Apart from his status as a prince and his unscrupulous ability to gather roots, he doesn't have any skills that he can use.
Even the former crown prince and the King of Shu, who is known as the most talented among the princes, he still looks down upon. Especially for the fifth uncle, King Shu, in his opinion, those so-called reputations were nothing more than sensationalism, a disguised attempt to gain favor in front of his grandfather. The real level may not be that strong. Moreover, although the fifth uncle, King Shu, did not have much contact with him. But there was always some sinister feeling in his eyes.
On the contrary, in the Xiaoqi camp, after learning about the situation of the ninth uncle who had not been out of the palace for a long time, although he received a beating, he was actually very angry with this remnant who had never been masked before and only occasionally heard his mother cursing something. Uncle Jiu was a little curious. Not counting others, just a scholar-like person can turn a group of arrogant soldiers into his loyalists in such a short period of time.
This alone was enough for him to admire. Since coming to Ningxia to suppress the rebellion, I applied to be transferred to Longyou to suppress the rebellion, and it was the first time I saw the skills of this ninth uncle, as well as the iron-blooded skills used in dealing with the rebels, and the ruthlessness in correcting military discipline. And the miraculous archery skills of the three-arrow rain that determined Ningxia made him full of curiosity about this ninth uncle, and even became Huang Qiong's supporter.
I have never seen this skill, this ability, this courage in other uncles. Not to mention my uneducated uncles, even my imperial grandfather who was the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, they were all far behind. Since he was born, this person has been under the strict instruction of his mother, and not only has he not been raised like other members of the clan, he has been neglected.
On the contrary, he was the only beloved son of Princess Jincheng who gave birth to a son who was very ambitious among the clan members. At the moment, I am both afraid and somewhat admiring of this ninth uncle. Compared to his mother, Huang Qiong is completely convinced. I think that the other uncles, no matter in terms of skills or methods, including abilities, cannot be compared with this ninth uncle at all, and are not even on the same level at all.
No wonder that just one year after leaving the palace, he was so loved by his grandfather, the emperor, that he was given important responsibilities. Everyone in the court knew that this Zhang Qian was originally his uncle's best friend and had no regard for other princes except the former deposed prince. He was extremely aloof and self-admired, and he had a personal grudge with the King of England himself, but it only took so long for him to be subdued so thoroughly.
With this skill, which of my other uncles have this ability? This young man seems not to have fully grown up yet, but after the Ningxia rebellion, he has grown a lot. Now I have made up my mind to persuade my mother to make friends with this uncle after returning to Beijing. Even if you don't make friends, never become enemies. That would only bring disaster to the entire family.
This uncle's skill is really not comparable to that of my mother. Looking at Huang Qiong's back, the young man couldn't help but think of the day when the monument was erected. Huang Qiong was riding a horse and bathing in the sun. His whole body showed domineering and royal aura, and the look of admiration on his face couldn't help but become stronger. Just thinking about what happened yesterday and the two women in Huang Qiong's room, his nephew couldn't help but shake his head.
My uncle is good at everything, but is he good at women? Since he was a child, he came from a wealthy family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi and a hairpin family. In fact, he did not reject the fact that all of his uncles were fond of women. How many of the high-ranking officials in the Manchu Dynasty had three wives and four concubines, and also had wives outside? Even his own father had more than ten concubines, didn't he?
But the key point is that the age of those women is really hard for him to accept. Except for one who is younger, isn’t that one over thirty? Even the two women who were carried out yesterday are already thirty or forty years old. Although she still looks as beautiful as a flower, her age is there after all. It is said that these two women are especially loved by my uncle.
Although the second daughter failed to assassinate him and committed suicide, the uncle was still so sad that he didn't even have dinner. Could it be that this uncle, who never received maternal love as a child, has a special preference for older women? Well, I have also heard that Concubine Jing in the palace has an extremely cold temperament and treats everyone indifferently, even her own son.
