Huang Qiong's attitude on this matter was very firm, although when he made the decision, his tone was very calm, and no emotion could be heard. But the determination in his tone was heard by all the ministers. Ministers, you look at me and I look at you, wanting to advise the prince not to do things too harshly. Even if it's not for the sake of the old gentleman, it's also for the sake of Concubine De in the harem and the King of Song.
Just thinking about it, this man drove Concubine De out of the Wende Palace a few days ago, and also killed several of Concubine De's confidants in the Shang Palace Bureau, including the old gentleman's disciples and former officials, almost all of them. Everyone immediately gave up the idea of continuing to dissuade. What a joke, this lord even dared to kick out Concubine De, but the emperor didn't even say a word, let alone holding him accountable.
Who is De Fei? She is not only the daughter of that old gentleman, she is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and can be said to be the number one person in Ru's harem. He was kicked out of Wende Hall like this, but he could only suppress his anger. Why should I go into the troubled waters between the master and Concubine De and their son? Even though it is just a posthumous title, who knows how many things are hidden behind it.
Looking at the prince, he had a calm expression with no trace of his thoughts. Some officials even vaguely feel that this incident is just the beginning, and it is a blow to some people. It's just that these officials with different ideas didn't know that Huang Qiong, who was sitting on top, actually had some hope at this time that one of the civil and military officials in the dynasty would stand up and argue with him on this matter.
Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that among the hundreds of officials in the hall today, regardless of whether they were civil or military, except for the military attache who looked like he didn't care about my business, no one stood up. Including the old gentleman's disciples and former officials, all of them shrank their necks and remained silent after they made up their minds. The scene in front of him made Huang Qiong frown slightly. This was the official of the Da Qi Dynasty today.
Although I don't expect them to be able to remonstrate with me, I still hope that they can stand up and point out what I'm wrong about. But the reality is very disappointing. These dignified officials of the Qi Dynasty, such as the prime minister of Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, the ministers and ministers, the six ministers and nine ministers, and the censor of Taizuodu, all kept silent. I don't dare to argue about such a trivial matter.
If something big happens, what can the court expect from them? Huang Qiong was somewhat disappointed. And next, maybe he was calmed down by what happened today, or he was at a loss. During the entire morning dynasty, the ministers almost spent their time in a state of trance. It can be said that during this morning's meeting, no useful decisions were made except for deciding on the old gentleman's posthumous name.
After leaving the morning court and returning to Wende Palace, Huang Qiong was extremely disappointed with the officials in the court and had no intention of meeting any officials again. He sent Li Hai, who had just been promoted to the eunuch in charge of Wende Palace yesterday, to bring Jia Quan, who had not had a chance to meet him since he returned to Beijing, to announce his arrival in the palace. Huang Qiong sat on the chair a little exhausted, looking outside somewhat absent-mindedly.
Just when Huang Qiong was reviewing the papers and waiting for Jia Quan to arrive. A little eunuch hurriedly ran into the Wende Hall. Even because he was too eager, he didn't notice the threshold at the door of the Wende Hall when he entered the Wende Hall, and he stumbled over. Seeing the eunuch's flustered look, Huang Qiong was a little annoyed and said, "Why are you panicking? How did I teach you on weekdays?"
Faced with Huang Qiong's scolding, the eunuch didn't bother to apologize. He knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the matter is really urgent, and I have forgotten your teachings. When I finish speaking, you can scold me. Concubine De is now kneeling outside the door of Tingxuexuan, crying loudly to see you. Your Majesty. Concubine Zhuang and several other high-status concubines tried to persuade her, but she scolded them all. You'd better go and have a look."
After hearing the eunuch's report, Huang Qiong raised her hand to signal him to get up, and said calmly: "What do you want me to do? Is such a small matter worthy of your urgency? If she is willing to kneel there, let her She is ready to kneel. You go and tell Concubine De that if she does not want to lose face, she will kneel there for as long as she is willing to. Tell the other principals to do whatever they have to do."
"If you want to watch the fun, just watch it there, but no one is allowed to persuade you. If you have some free time, you should go back and educate your prince and princess more. In the future, if anyone finds out that the prince was accompanied by a group of people when he was enrolled in school. Eunuchs, then they don’t want to keep any eunuchs in the palace from now on. I have only been out for less than a year, who gave them the right to change the rules?"
Upon hearing Huang Qiong's order, not to mention the eunuch who reported the news, all the other eunuchs serving in Wende Hall were stunned. The person kneeling and crying outside Xuexuan now is none other than Empress Dowager De, who is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Even if you don't take her seriously anymore, she will still be the concubine of your crown prince. Is it really okay to just let her kneel outside your mother-in-law’s door and keep crying like this?
Just looking at the prince, he had a somewhat downcast expression. Recalling that Concubine De was beaten to death by several eunuchs outside the palace gate because she did not stop her from entering Wende Palace two days ago, the eunuch who sent the message did not dare to hesitate and turned around and ran back to Concubine De to deliver the message. Looking at the eunuch's back, Huang Qiong smiled faintly. After the old man handed the seal to himself, he left the palace with his mother.
As for where he went, the old man told no one. And mother, even Jing Niang, who never left her body except for resting at night, did not take her with her. At present, in Xuexuan, only Jingniang is taking her third girl, who ignores no one but her mother, and Shouyang is practicing calligraphy. Hua Hua went back to visit Lin Hanyan in the past two days. And Wu Zhiyu's girl also returned to Xiyuan to accompany her mother.
With Jing Niang's temperament, no matter what happens outside Xuexuan, as long as it doesn't involve her mother or several children. Even if the earth falls apart, she won't pay any attention to it. Concubine De ran over there and knelt down. I'm afraid even if her voice became hoarse from crying, no one would pay attention to her. As for what his parents did when they left the palace, Huang Qiong himself was at a loss.
Because of this matter, even after he went to court, he heard a report specifically waiting for his Gao Wuyong. Only then did she realize that her old man had ordered Gao Wuyong to hand over the seal to him, and then he and his mother put on their casual clothes and left the palace. As for what the two of them were doing out of the palace or where they were going, Gao Wuyong didn't know. When he listened to Xuexuan's reply, the two of them had already left the palace.
Huang Qiong was actually quite surprised when she heard this. It's not that he was surprised that the old man came out of the palace, but that his mother actually followed the old man's mischief, which really surprised him. Because in his memory, in the past, except for taking him out of the palace to practice martial arts, his mother never took a step outside Ting Xuexuan. Even after I left the palace, I only went to my place once or twice.
No matter how much, it was the time when I met my mother in Infinite View. Why this time, not only did he leave the palace, but he also went out with the old man. Not even two people, not even a bodyguard. Even the old man Gao Wuyong, the eunuch who almost never left his side, and Jing Niang were all thrown into the palace. With her mother here, Huang Qiong is not worried about the old man's safety. But where is the mother?
Faced with an increasingly unreliable old man after he returned from Xijing, Huang Qiong frowned. He always felt that he, as a father, had led his mother into trouble. But now that the old man has slipped out of the palace, let the virtuous concubine, who carries a word of virtue but has no virtue at all in her actions, kneel there and cry. I want to see for myself what she can do with her crying.
While Huang Qiong was wondering what the old man wanted to do by sneaking out of the palace this time, Jia Quan, whom he sent for, had already arrived. While waiting for Jia Quan, who was wearing a seventh-grade official uniform, to be brought into the Wende Palace, Huang Qiong felt somewhat apologetic. Now Fan Jian has been assigned as a county magistrate. Although he is only a seventh-grade magistrate of a third-class county, he is actually a local official.
But Jia Quan, who has been with him the longest, is now only a seventh-grade idler in the Prince's Palace. When he came back, he never paid attention to him, which was somewhat unfair to Jia Quan. Although Jia Quan's temperament is a bit gloomy, it also helps him deal with many things. When I first came out of the palace, it can be said that I received a lot of help from him. At the moment, among all the people around him, he is the most unhappy one.
Seeing Jia Quan about to kneel down, Huang Qiong hurriedly walked up to him, supported him, and said in an apologetic tone: "Brother Jia, there is no need for this. I am still the same old man, and I have not changed because of the change in status. What has changed? Speaking of which, I still feel sorry for Brother Jia. I have been back to Beijing for a few days now, but I have been busy dealing with other things and ignored Brother Jia. "
Listening to Huang Qiong's heart-warming words, Jia Quan couldn't help but his eyes turned red despite his always cold temperament. And the change in Huang Qiong's self-proclaimed words also let him know that the past is really in the past. The original king of England has now become the prince, and now he is ordered to handle the government affairs on his behalf. I can no longer be the same as before, otherwise even if the prince doesn't care, he will be feared by others.
The friendship between monarch and minister is a thing of the past. Thinking of this, Jia Quan hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness must never call Quan brother again. Although Quan is an old minister of His Highness's latent residence, now there is a difference between monarch and minister. Although Your Highness said that he never forgets his old relationship, he does not regard Quan as an outsider." You can control yourself, but you have to correct your position. Your Highness, the king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. The king and the ministers cannot be mixed together. This is against etiquette."
Seeing that Jia Quan, who has always been bohemian, has become so rigid now. Huang Qiong sighed softly in his heart and said nothing more. After simply giving Jia Quan a seat and dismissing the eunuchs in the palace, Huang Qiong looked at the somewhat thin Jia Quan and knew that during the period when he was not in Beijing, he would not have a good life alone in Beijing. Even if he entrusts King Yong to take care of him, King Yong cannot look at him all day long.
After he was promoted to the crown prince, some people secretly dared to touch even him. How could they care about a small seventh-grade official? I'm afraid that in those days, he used to be his confidant and stayed alone in the capital. Jia Quan, who did not have permission to enter the palace by handing a sign, must have become a punching bag for some unwilling people. Fortunately, I am back in Beijing now. No matter how unwilling some people are, they have to stay honest.
Patting Jia Quan's shoulder, Huang Qiong said softly: "I'm afraid you have suffered a lot during my stay in Xijing. Originally, I also thought about transferring you to Xijing to help me. But there is no one in the capital. A reliable person cannot look after me. King Yong is King Yong after all. Leave some bad things to him. Now that I am back, no one will dare to do anything in the future."
"I came to you today not just because I want to reconnect with you, which is just one aspect. I also want to chat with you and arrange for you in the future. Fan Jian is now arranged by me to go to Ningxia I want to ask you if you have any ideas. If you also want to be sent out to be a prefectural or county official, even though I am reluctant to do so, I will never stop you."
