Speaking of his original relationship, Zheng Daoyuan sighed softly and said: "Although we were happy with her at the beginning, if we continue to maintain it, it will harm her. It doesn't matter if the official is single, but she is already a married woman and will be a better person in the future." Mother. Although I have received countless letters from her in the past ten years, I have only replied to a few of them. This is the intention. She has married and has been a stranger in the world since then. "
"Originally, Xiaguan was baffled. No matter how she was transferred, how did she always know where Xiaguan was transferred to? Now it seems that as a eldest princess, it is strange that she didn't know. However, until she was transferred from Longyou this time Jing, even the lower official doesn’t know that she is the current princess of Jincheng, and the heir apparent of Yingchuan House is actually my son. His mother has come to see me several times, and we have met secretly a few times."
"But I just drank tea and didn't do anything that crossed the line. It's true that Xianguan is not a gentleman, but he still knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do. When Xiaguan met him in the army, he After I discovered that Gao Huaiyuan and Xiaguan were more and more similar, I had some doubts. Later, I saw in him that Xiaguan had given his mother a token of love."
"At that time, I made a private decision with his mother and gave it to her. After I found this jade pendant, I thought of some ways and kept testing him. This child is quite smart and very ambitious. , but the city is still too shallow. It didn’t take long for me to find out the truth. However, this kid is very ambitious, and in the end he didn’t reveal that he was the son of Princess Jincheng.”
"It wasn't until that day in Lingzhou City when you asked him to call you uncle that the official realized that the person he had been thinking about so far, his mother, was actually the eldest daughter of the current emperor and the most prestigious among the princesses in the court. The tallest princess of Jincheng. Her husband was the former Crown Prince of Yingchuan, who is also the current Uncle Yingchuan. Only then did the lower official know the real reason why she married in the first place."
"Why does his father still look down on Xiaguan when he is a Jinshi? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the consorts of princesses in the past dynasties have been sons of distinguished nobles. How can a small official who passed the Jinshi be in the eyes of the current emperor? What's more, the Huaiyang Rebellion had just ended, and the emperor was eager to take back military power. Since the princes are still young, she, the princess, became the best candidate for marriage. "
Speaking of this, Zheng Daoyuan smiled bitterly: "Prince, the official is now only a third-rank official. Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War in Xijing, he is only an agent. Without an imperial edict, the prince can bring the official back with a handwriting. The truth is. Although this matter involves the privacy of the Tian family and the relationship between the Tian family and the nobles, there is no need to worry about the Lord and the Crown Prince so much."
I heard that Zheng Daoyuan had misunderstood him, and was thinking of using the hands of the Tibetan people to kill people with a borrowed knife. Huang Qiong frowned slightly and opened his mouth to scold this guy. But after hesitating for a while, he finally said: "Mr. Zheng, whether you have an affair with the eldest sister or whose son Gao Huaiyuan is, it doesn't matter to me, nor does my father."
"If I say he is the son of Uncle Yingchuan, he is the son of Uncle Yingchuan. If he is not, then he is not, and if he is, he is not. Killing someone with a borrowed knife? You think too highly of yourself. If I want to kill you, the acting minister of the Ministry of War, Is there any need for me to borrow the help of others? Not to mention that you are not my legitimate brother-in-law, but you are the real brother-in-law. How can you be as big as an earl when you are a prince-consort?"
"Zheng Daoyuan, I really don't want the affairs between you and the eldest sister to be made public. Because the relationship between those nobles and the court is mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial. Slapping the nobles in the face is tantamount to slapping the court in the face and hitting the old man. Face. At least for now, the court has no capital to fall out with Xungui. This has nothing to do with the personal relationship between you and the eldest sister, or whose son Gao Huaiyuan is. "
"Don't take yourself too seriously. I asked you to preside over and implement this alliance flag system because I value your abilities and talents. I also want my father, you and my eldest sister to calm down. Don't worry about Ying. Uncle Chuan had just passed away, and something happened. Do you know how much compensation the widow and the court gave to their family in order to make up for Uncle Chuan Ying? Is it worthy of our family to have the son of a commoner become an earl? "
"It is true that Uncle Yingchuan's father-in-law had great military exploits. But did this Uncle Yingchuan lead a day's worth of soldiers and fight a day's battle? When and where did he perform any great service for the court? The son of a commoner was granted a title. He also made two sons, an earl and a baron, do you really think that their ancestral graves are smoking? Not to mention that a prince-in-law actually took more than ten concubines and gave birth to a large number of children. "
"Even though it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country, the actions of Uncle Yingchuan can be said to be the only ones since the founding of the country. Why does the old man pretend to be invisible? You can count it yourself. In the more than a hundred years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, dozens of princesses, Concubines, it’s true that there are no concubines, but that’s because the princess has no children, so there are only a few. With more than a dozen concubines, which concubine is so bold?”
"Isn't it just to wipe the butt of eldest sister and you and appease Uncle Yingchuan, my father and I are willing to do this? Do you know that every time Uncle Yingchuan takes a concubine, it is equivalent to publicly slapping the Tian family in the face? Father If it weren't for the fact that you were quite capable as a person, my eldest sister would have suffered a lot in those years. If it was just to cut off eldest sister's thoughts, you would have been chopped off long ago even if you had grown ten heads."
"In order to silence Uncle Yingchuan, my father has been tolerating Uncle Yingchuan's rude behavior. Although I, the princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, is not as good as the former Tang Dynasty, I dare to interfere in the government affairs at every turn and raise my wife in private. Such unscrupulousness. But how can he, a little earl, do this? What's more, do you really think that if I want to silence you, it will be difficult to kill you in Longyou? "
After saying this, he looked at Zheng Daoyuan, who looked a little miserable but still looked righteous. Did he really think that after he was transferred back to the capital, the things he and Princess Jincheng did in the capital under the eyes of the old man were unnoticed and no one knew about it? If these things cannot be found, there is really no need for Nanzhen Fusi to exist at all.
Huang Qiong became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said in a very cold tone: "Mr. Zheng, we are not outsiders, so you don't want to cover up. During your stay in the capital, you two didn't do anything out of line? Every time The first time we met, we just drank tea and talked about the pain of lovesickness over the years? Do you really dare to say that? I am afraid that during those days, you and your eldest sister were talking about the pain of lovesickness on the bed.
"Do you really think Nanbei Zhenfusi is blind? What is the two-story building behind the Yuelai Inn in the outer city of Jingzhao Mansion? Do you think you don't know this? During your stay in the capital, you almost every few days We need a private meeting. My eldest sister is already over 40 years old, and she secretly sent someone to the imperial doctor to ask for medicine to prevent pregnancy. Apart from you, is it possible that the only consort left is still able to get my eldest sister pregnant?"
"Can you really hide these things? Or are you blind in front of others? If it weren't for the fact that you really don't know the identity of the eldest sister, you have always been infatuated, and you are still alone. The court still needs to use your talents. , based on what you just said, your head has already moved. In the past, my eldest sister got pregnant out of wedlock when she was not married. As the instigator, I don’t need to hold you accountable even if times have changed."
"But now the eldest sister is married and has become a married woman. As an important official of the imperial court, if you seduce the princess of the dynasty and go out of your way, you will not be able to escape death. If the emperor does not pity the eldest sister, I will cherish your talents even more. , I threw you into the Luo River in the capital and fed you to the bastard. And now it’s your turn to come to me and ask me why I sent you on an errand to kill someone with a borrowed knife? "
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Zheng Daoyuan, who was almost exposed on the spot, could not help but blush. Looking back now, what I said before was indeed a bit extreme. If the prince wanted to kill himself, there was no need to borrow a knife to kill him. Although he had considered himself to be clean and honest since he had taken charge of raising military rations and had not taken advantage of him at all, he still had hundreds of thousands of dan of grain in his hands.
If you really want to find trouble to kill yourself, you don't have to search carefully, I'm afraid you will have died several times ago. Just because you can ensure that your hands and feet are clean and you haven't plucked a hair from the money and food, it doesn't mean that the hands and feet of your subordinates are also clean. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to find fault with food and salary. Although the war is now settled, it is very easy to check the aftermath now.
The original account books are still there, and the person in charge is still there. Isn’t it easy to check them if you put your mind to it? If the prince wanted to get rid of himself, why bother to use the hands of the Tibetan people to get rid of him? ? After thinking about this, Zheng Daoyuan, who also knew that he had indeed thought too much before, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Of course, there is also the embarrassment caused by being exposed.
He looked coldly at Zheng Daoyuan, whose face was red and looked ashamed. Huang Qiong said in a cold tone: "Master Zheng, don't treat others as fools. Why do you leave you in Xijing at this time? Don't you have any idea in your heart? Do you really think that all the nobles in the court are blind? It would be better if you don't stay in the capital. If you stay in the capital for a long time, sooner or later this matter will be discovered."
"When the time comes, not to mention that the Tian family will lose face, there will be an irreparable rift between the nobles and the imperial court. As for you, even if you reach the position of a second-rank official, if the Yingchuan House is determined to pursue Responsibility, there are many ways to kill you quietly. Even if the Yingchuan Mansion cannot do it, other nobles who share the same spirit with them, who will suffer both losses and glory, will help them. "
"Because once this matter is exposed, it will not only be the Yingchuan uncle's house, but also the entire noble family. Are you really a eldest sister who is like a god and Buddha, and can always protect you? Let me tell you clearly, protecting you in the past few years The one who is looking after you is your father. You exchanged letters with my eldest sister, who sent carloads of things to Longyou. Even if you haven't received them, if no one has covered it up for you, do you really think that others can't find out? "
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at this capable official in his heart with a headache. The old man sent Nanzhen Fusi with the secret order to write down the account of the eldest sister's tryst with this man. Even a person like Huang Qiong, who has been tested for a long time and has done even more shameless things, felt a little ashamed after seeing this. This seemingly gentle guy even built a love nest in the capital.
Every three to five days, I have a private tryst with my eldest sister. I don’t know if this guy took any medicine. He is over 40 years old, and he is still so energetic every time. I tortured my eldest sister so much that she was exhausted every time she came out. There were several times when I couldn't return home, so I just stayed in one place. Even if there is good rain after a long drought, what these two people did was really too much.
Looking at these records, Huang Qiong realized that the old man had exercised restraint and cared about the relationship between father and daughter before killing him in the capital. These two people are almost semi-public in the capital. There is no airtight wall in this world. In a capital city where nobles and important ministers are densely packed, someone so bold will be discovered sooner or later. Even his nominal brother-in-law has too much time to take care of himself.
