Picked up the book and started reading again. It's just that this time, my mind can't be stabilized anymore. After reluctantly waiting till midnight, knowing that the child must have fallen asleep, he hurriedly walked towards Caizhiyuan. When he walked into Zhang Qiaoer's yard, he pushed open the door of Zhang Qiaoer's residence, only to find that the beauty was not in the room. After searching for a long time, I found a beautiful woman taking a bath in a room.
Seeing the sight of a beauty bathing in front of him, how could Huang Qiong still restrain himself? In a few moments, he took off his clothes and got into the tub. He hugged the beautiful woman who was startled when he came in quietly into his arms. While kissing, he moved his hands up and down. After reacting, he found that he and Huang Qiong were actually bathing in the same bucket, and the two were still in close contact.
Zhang Qiaoer, whose face was red with embarrassment, said shyly while avoiding Huang Qiong's evil hands: "Farewell, farewell, there are still eunuchs and maids in the courtyard. If this is seen by others and spreads, I How can you still have the nerve to live? Also, this water has been washed by the children and is dirty. Please, don’t be like this, get out quickly and I’ll stay with you after I finish washing, okay?”
It's just Huang Qiong, how can he be dismissed with just a few words? He raised his head from Zhang Qiaoer's plump position and said in the woman's ear as he moved: "Why are you shy? This body is full of life and fragrance, what have you never seen before? Wherever you are, there is no dirty place, it is all fragrant. As for those palace maids and eunuchs, there is nothing to fear. Even if they saw it, they would not dare to spread the word."
"Qiao'er cooked the food for me today, and I even drank all the soup. I didn't expect that Qiao'er is so beautiful, and this dish is also delicious and delicious. But no matter how delicious the dish is, it's not as good as Qiao'er." Er's food is delicious, not to mention the liveliness and deliciousness of Qiao'er. Don't worry, no one dares to say a word here, unless their whole family has lost their heads."
Huang Qiong's words and his hands that never stopped doing evil made his face even more shy. He gently hit Huang Qiong, who was kissing himself. But just when Zhang Qiaoer wanted to say something, something suddenly stuffed into her mouth was blocked. I know this man will never give up until he achieves his goal today. Zhang Qiaoer had no choice but to obey.
The two of them kept tossing until the water in the tub was completely cold. Worried that Zhang Qiaoer would get sick from the cold, Huang Qiong took Zhang Qiaoer out. After wrapping the beautiful woman tightly with his thick cloak, he carried the beautiful woman who had been paralyzed by him to Wu's house opposite this room. After signaling Wu to find the other girls, he pressed forward again.
At dawn the next day, Huang Qiong let go of his arms, and the other place was occupied by him, a mature and beautiful woman who was still sleeping. Satisfied, he kissed several women on the face before turning and leaving. After having breakfast with Qin and Li, Huang Qiong slowly walked back to Wanchun Hall. Just as he entered the Wanchun Palace, his nephew hurried in.
Seeing Huang Qiong, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about etiquette anymore and knelt down directly on the ground, crying with a sad face: "Your Highness, Huaiyuan just received a letter from his mother. My father died three days ago. Let's go." Huaiyuan will go back for the funeral immediately. Please be kind to the prince and let Huaiyuan return to Jingzhao immediately to fulfill his filial piety as a son. The family has suffered a big change, and Huaiyuan, as the eldest son, should go back no matter what."
Huang Qiong sighed softly when she heard Gao Huaiyuan's words and did not answer him immediately. That prince-in-law is also his nominal eldest brother-in-law. After lingering on the sickbed for so many years, he finally left. Maybe death is more of a relief for him. Although the old man and himself have tried their best to compensate. He even violated the ancestral system and granted titles to his eldest son and second son.
But how can this belated apology really make up for the harm done to Uncle Yingchuan by what his eldest sister did back then? Although the things that the eldest sister did were not intentional and could be said to be involuntary, the harm caused to Uncle Yingchuan's family was real. Especially as Gao Huaiyuan grew older, as the nominal father, Uncle Yingchuan became more and more depressed.
What's more, the title he granted as an exception can only be passed down to two generations. Even though this was an extra mercy, it was a greater harm to Yingchuan Bo Lai. Because the heir to the hereditary title chosen by his ancestors was not his biological son, but a person whose father was unknown. Uncle Yingchuan, who has been reported to be critically ill countless times, is still a little unwilling to survive until now.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong helped his nephew up with his own hands and took a closer look at the man in front of him. He looked very handsome. Although he resembles his eldest sister, if you look closely, he still has a three-point resemblance to Zheng Daoyuan's nephew. Suddenly I understood why the old man didn't want Zheng Daoyuan to return to Beijing. My nephew is not only similar in appearance to Zheng Daoyuan.
In terms of figure, he is almost exactly the same as Zheng Daoyuan. The heights of father and son are basically the same. Even the way the two people walk is almost identical. If you are more careful, it is not difficult to find the relationship between the two. There are so many old foxes in the capital. Once Zheng Daoyuan stays in the capital for a long time, who can guarantee that no one will notice it as time goes by?
If this matter were to be spread out, how would the Tian family's face be affected? Just because of this matter, the rift between him and those nobles will probably be difficult to mend. And those nobles, whether they are in Beijing or Xijing, or recuperating in their hometown, have always been in the same spirit. Although there were internal disputes, their attitudes toward the court and their struggles with civil servants were surprisingly consistent.
What is Xungui? He was the first to follow Emperor Taizu along the way to conquer this splendid country. They are almost equal to the old brothers and descendants of Emperor Taizu, and are friends of all the emperors of the Qi Dynasty. After marriage, they became the in-laws of their children. You, the daughter, not only brought a hat to your friends and relatives, but also gave birth to a son whose father is unknown, but according to the rules, he must be a prince.
You pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even covered up for your daughter. Once this matter spreads out, what will those nobles think? The key issue is that it’s not scary if you give yourself a hat, and it’s not scary if you give birth to a son who is not your own. The most terrifying thing is that the title that our ancestors won through hundreds of battles has somehow become someone else's. When your emperor's daughter gives birth to a child, which one dare you say is not the eldest son?
Is there any noble family in this world who would dare to marry the emperor's daughter like you as a concubine? This is not a time of chaos, nor is it the rule of powerful ministers. With you, the emperor's direct grandson, and the nobles of that family, you dare to let your concubine give birth to a son to become a noble? They handed over the military power in the first place, but your Tian family has done this. Isn't it really unreasonable, and even suspected of burning the bridge?
What I know is that you, as a father, have no choice. I wonder if you thought that you and your daughter were working together to seize the title that they had obtained through hundreds of battles. In this way, which noble family will dare to marry the Tian family in the future? Which noble family can trust the imperial court, or to put it more bluntly, which noble family dares to trust the current emperor? Once cracks appear, it is difficult to repair them.
At present, although most of these noble families only have empty titles, they no longer have real power in their hands. Most people are no longer in charge of troops. But even if there is nothing, there is that person in the Qi Dynasty who dares to despise these princes and uncles? How can the status of these people in the court be shaken by ordinary people? If you slap a whole family in the face, you almost slap the entire noble family in the face.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong patted Gao Huaiyuan on the shoulder. After hesitating for a moment, he said to him: "Wait for a while. Treat the widow, draw up a memorial ceremony with your own hands, and give it to the eldest sister when you return. Tell him that as long as the younger brother is the widow, In one day, she will always be the supporter of your mother and son. If she is unhappy in the Prince Consort's Mansion from now on, she will move into the palace to live with your aunt and the others."
After that, he turned around and walked to the desk. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly wrote an emotional memorial poem. After handing it to Gao Huaiyuan, he said: "You must tell the truth to the eldest sister what I said before. But you must remember that there is only one person in this world who can really rely on your mother, and that is you. Hurry up. Grow up and give your mother a real solid support."
Hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, Gao Huaiyuan nodded solemnly. He took the memorial written by Huang Qiong himself, carefully put it in his arms, turned around and left. And looking at the back of his nephew leaving in a hurry, Huang Qiong could only shake his head and sigh when thinking of his eldest sister's rough emotional experience. The matter of my eldest sister is almost a dead end with no solution. Even if his nominal brother-in-law dies.
When Gao Huaiyuan left in a hurry, Huang Qiong lamented that his eldest sister had an unresolved relationship while watching his nephew leave. Just inadvertently, I saw Zheng Daoyuan who came at an unknown time. He was also watching Gao Huaiyuan leave, wondering what he was thinking. It wasn't until Gao Huaiyuan's back completely disappeared that he turned around, calmed down, and walked towards Wanchun Hall.
But when Zheng Daoyuan walked outside Wanchun Hall, he saw Huang Qiong looking at him thoughtfully, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Seeing Zheng Daoyuan's appearance, Huang Qiong knew that it was very likely that this guy was not ignorant of some things. At least he is not as ignorant of Gao Huaiyuan's life experience as he appears on the surface. Because Huang Qiong could see the love in his eyes.
Entering the Wanchun Hall, Zheng Daoyuan handed Huang Qiong the ideas for ennobling the various tribes of Tubo in Qingtang that he had probably been busy all night yesterday. Zheng Daoyuan's idea was mentioned in the book, but he suggested adding the title of lieutenant. However, the Duke of Guo canceled the third-class distinction and chose to distinguish between adding the word "Feng'en" and not adding the word "Feng'en". The difference in salary and salary between the two is nearly half.
Similarly, all levels of generals and lieutenants have been cancelled. Moreover, the salaries of these titles are basically based on those given by the imperial court to clan members or nobles. This treatment is really high. These people themselves are rich, and they have plenty of cattle, sheep and slaves.
When the imperial court's income is so difficult, giving so much salary is not robbing the poor and giving to the rich, isn't it?
Looking at this excerpt, Huang Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zheng, you don't leave any room for maneuver to the court. Do you know why I ennobled them and divided them so finely? Just to let them The imperial court can advance and retreat in an orderly manner. These people are used to being in the wild on the plateau, and they will not be beaten until they are truly educated."
"Even with Lamaism, it may not be able to make them lose their wild nature. And these people have a special status and have soldiers in their hands, so the court sometimes has to use a weapon of caution. Once they make a mistake, the court cannot deal with them like it deals with court officials. . As long as they do not commit the crime of treason and immorality, downgrading their title is often the best punishment the court can give them."
