Regarding Gao Wuyong's persuasion, Huang Qiong also knew that the eunuch was for his own good, so he did not get angry because of these words. He just stood up and walked outside the Wanchun Hall to look at the cloudy sky, fearing that a heavy snowfall would fall. After a long silence, he said: "Master Gao, I understand what you said. But Master Gao, look at the sky? It's snowing heavily. When it does come, how can we avoid it by giving in?"
"Master Gao is the most caring person around my father, and naturally he is also the most caring person of the widow. Ever since I left the palace, Master Gao has always been very caring to me. Now, he has traveled thousands of miles to come to Xijing this morning to advise me. . I have nothing to say to everyone today. Everyone Gao has always been with my father, and he must be aware of the current problems of the clan. "
"There are some things that I don't want to find a way to solve before something big happens and there is still room for tact. When the day comes that it is really hard to get back, once it breaks out of the cocoon, it will be a big deal. This time I just used this It's just an opportunity to attack these clans in advance. Everyone, Gao, since some problems have arisen, you can't just pretend to turn a blind eye and get through them."
After Huang Qiong said these words, as the emperor's personal eunuch. Although he did not dare to interfere in government affairs, Gao Wuyong still saw certain things very clearly. Gao Wuyong was also aware of the clan's problems. Indeed, most of these clans in the Great Qi Dynasty committed all kinds of evil in their fiefdoms, and their reputations were simply stinking. Some people are even treated as a plague in the fiefdom.
It's just that he doesn't understand. If this man talks about such a big thing as breaking the sky, what can happen to him? Could it be that some clans are going to rebel? But looking at Huang Qiong's downcast face, Gao Wuyong didn't dare to ask even though he didn't understand. Huang Qiong turned around and looked at the pile of books on the desk, but smiled lightly: "Some things should be resolved. If we don't straighten things out internally, how can we deal with the outside world?"
"Concubine De and her son are nothing more than a pair of clowns. She thinks that her little tricks that can't be seen on the stage can really grasp the hearts of those people? She thinks too highly of herself. I don't know why her father goes so far towards her. She has not been held accountable for her actions. But I can tell everyone clearly that she is seeking her own death and is also sending her family to the road of death."
"In her name, the world's clans are rewarded. Who gave her such a bold son, and she is worthy of it? If it had been anyone else, a name of making friends with foreign vassals without authorization would be enough to kill them. In such a situation where they don't know how to restrain themselves, mother and son can give themselves The coffin is ready. I don’t even know how to dig out the foundations of a wall. I’ve never seen anyone so stupid. He dug a hole for himself and jumped in, not forgetting the people who filled it with soil.”
Having said this, looking at the folds, the extreme disgust in Huang Qiong's eyes flashed away. After a pause, he changed the subject and said: "Master Gao, you might as well stay a little longer when you come to Xijing this time. Just spend this year in Xijing. Master Gao has served my father for these years, and he has both merit and hard work." During this time in Xijing, I can give myself a holiday and have a good rest."
"Also, I have already issued an edict. The clans that are enfeoffed in Longyou and Shaanxi 2nd Road and have the title of general or above must arrive in Xijing before the tenth day of the lunar month. I have been busy promoting the Qingtang Tubo tribes and the alliance and flag system a few years ago. But I couldn't spare the time to get together with them. Now the matter has finally come to an end. Since we are here in the northwest, it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to get together."
"It just so happens that Mr. Gao is also in Xijing now, and he has been the most caring person around my father for so many years. These clan members must all know each other. Since they are all acquaintances, they should take the time to attend. In this matter, Mr. Gao also Don't think too much, let alone have any scruples. I just want to find an opportunity to get together with these clan members who rarely get together on weekdays. I have no other intentions."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Gao Wuyong could only smile bitterly. Seeing Huang Qiong's dull expression when he said these words, there was a sharp flash in his eyes. Gao Wuyong knew that he would not be able to attend this so-called party. He could see clearly that this prince, this gathering would definitely not be just to get together with those so-called relatives, as he said.
The prince probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity by allowing himself to participate. Of course, it was not to take advantage of his power as an eunuch, but to take advantage of the power of the emperor behind him. He is the emperor's personal person. As long as these clan members come to Beijing and meet the emperor, they will definitely remember him. As long as he was present, even if he didn't say a word, those people would probably think that he was sent by the emperor.
Gathering with relatives? Did this man really pretend that he didn't see him? There was a hint of disgust in his eyes when he just saw the folding papers on the desk. Did he really think that he didn't know that his Qingcheng County Prince, who went to Zongzheng Temple to cry two days ago, was imprisoned directly in Zongzheng Temple? Just looking at the faint smile on this man's face and the coldness in his eyes, Gao Wuyong could only respond.
After sending someone to arrange for Gao Wuyong to rest, Huang Qiong looked at the notes on the desk again with a faint smile on his face. Ignoring these rumors, I walked directly to Caizhiyuan. She went to check it out first, and finally got her wish and found out that she was pregnant, but the reaction was so serious that Dong Qianhong could only lie in bed and rest as the year was approaching. After chatting with her for a while, he went to Cai's place again. As soon as she entered Cai's house, Huang Qiong saw Qingzi Erluo and Wu, both of whom were talking to her. Ms. Cai looked intolerable, but the three women looked pleading. Seeing Huang Qiong come in, Wu, one of the three women, no longer cared about etiquette.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Prince, you are pitiful, pitiful. As a mother, I really miss my child at home. My child has never left my side since he was born. For such a long time I don’t know what happened to the child. Now that his father is dead and I’m not around, it’s really impossible to have only his three concubines to take care of him.”
"Those three concubines are always jealous and don't take our mother and son seriously. Now that we are in this situation, we still don't know how to abuse my child. Now you have brought so many beautiful women to your side. It’s really not that bad for me. I beg you to be noble and let me go back to be with my children. Now my mother’s family can’t go back, and my husband’s family is gone too.”
"I have only one relative left by my side, and I can't help but stay with him. Please, seeing that I've been serving you with all my heart these days, let me go back. We two will never be together for the rest of our lives. Forget your great kindness and virtue. I will give you a longevity tablet. Even if I starve to death for the rest of my life, I will not get married. I will eat fast and chant Buddha. I pray that the Buddha will bless you to register as soon as possible and live a long life."
Huang Qiong didn't get angry when she saw Wu kneeling on the ground, pleading. As a mother, you can be forgiven for missing your children. And in Huang Qiong's view, this is also a responsible performance. It's just that Huang Qiong didn't know what to say for a while. After hesitating for a moment, Huang Qiong sighed and said, "Actually, there is something I should have told you a long time ago."
"After I got your confession, I sent people to search your home and arrest the two unidentified women you mentioned. But by the time my people arrived, it was already too late. Your original I don’t know who attacked that home. All the people in the house were wiped out, not even a servant girl was left. When the people I sent arrived, they only found a pile of corpses. "
"Not to mention that you didn't find anyone alive, not even the three children were spared. The three concubines among them were humiliated and tortured before they died. When our people arrived, the two concubines were hanged. On the tree, not even a pair of socks was left on his body. Not only had he been abused by several people before his death, but two wooden sticks were inserted into his front and back, and they were all tortured to death."
"Three children, at first glance, they were dragged to death by their legs. Originally, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to bear it, so I didn't plan to tell you the truth. But you insisted on going back, and I didn't I have no choice but to tell you the truth. It seems that someone is worried that you will reveal some secrets, or is worried about what secrets you have in your hands, so they deliberately killed people to silence you. "
"It's not just your family that was also wiped out. There was also the Yan'an magistrate and several concubines in his house. Almost all of those who had contact with him were also wiped out. The state of death is different from that of yours. Those concubines are no different. The miserable scene between your two families is so miserable that even the battle-hardened veterans sent out by me can’t stand it and are frightened after seeing it.”
"After inspecting the scene, the agent of Yan'an Mansion who was present thought that those who committed such a heinous crime seemed to be tortured for something. They didn't get anything, so they became angry and wiped out all of you. Or after getting what they wanted, finally They just killed people and silenced them. But who exactly are these people and what they did in your house, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find out.”
"Fortunately, you were brought out by me. They at least did not dare to come to this palace to look for you, so you were able to escape. Otherwise, I don't know what the consequences would be if you fell into the hands of those people. From then on. Judging from the fate of the other people in your house, at least they will not die happily. I have been secretly investigating those murderers these days, but I have found nothing yet."
After listening to Huang Qiong's words, he learned that his child died tragically, and he died so tragically. In front of Huang Qiong, this woman can be considered a strong woman. How can she accept it now? Immediately he rolled his eyes and fainted. Fortunately, Huang Qiong was quick to hold her up and carried her to Cai's bed. Looking at the pale and unconscious woman, Huang Qiong sighed slightly.
Mrs. Cai on the side saw Mrs. Wu in this state. He couldn't help but think of his own situation after knowing that his family had been wiped out by the prefect. She felt the same way. Although she knew it was unrealistic, she still held a glimmer of hope and raised her head to look at Huang Qiong. Trying to ask if this man made it up deliberately in order to keep the Wu family?
When Huang Qiong saw Cai's look and understood the meaning in her eyes, she shook her head without hesitation. He wanted to tell her that this matter was true and he was not making it up. At this time, Qingzi Erluo, who also came to see Wu's situation, didn't know what to say after seeing Huang Qiong shaking his head. They knew that if they left here, the same result would be waiting for them.
Even because the King of Shu is more vicious and his subordinates are even more inhumane in order to reward money, his ending may be even worse. The two girls, who were still worried, looked at Huang Qiong and then at Wu who was lying unconscious on the bed, and they felt very conflicted at this time. The man in front of me killed his husband and so many of his brothers. Logically speaking, he and he were incompatible with each other.
