As soon as Huang Qiong finished speaking, Yong Wang, who was drinking tea, spurted out a mouthful of tea. Looking at Huang Qiong dumbfounded, the previous excitement disappeared. After a long time, he said: "Ninth brother, that's not the case. Since ancient times, there has been no one who has taken his wife with him when he goes out on patrol. What has happened? Besides, my son is only two months old and she left with me. What will happen to the child? ?”
Regarding King Yong's rebuttal, Huang Qiong ignored him. Instead, he said lightly: "Child, it's easy to talk there. I have already said hello to Concubine Zhuang. During the period when you are away, my nephew will be taken care of by her herself. She is your son's direct grandmother. Let's go. It's even safer at Concubine Zhuang's place than in your mansion. Your younger brothers and sisters will also come over from time to time to help."
Although Huang Qiong came up with a solution, would King Yong accept it? Are you kidding me? Finally, I was able to go out for a walk and take a breath. If you take that tigress with you, you will be strictly controlled along the way. So what's the point of going out on this tour? What's the difference between it and being in the mansion? It is better to take her out than to stay in the house, that way you can at least be lazy.
No matter how Huang Qiong tried to persuade him, King Yong, who had made up his mind that he could not bring his wife with him, just refused to give in. I would rather not go than take my wife out. Huang Qiong, who knew exactly what this guy had in mind at this time, simply gave up on persuading him. Tell him directly that he has decided to go on this errand, and so has Seventh Sister-in-law going with him.
Simply tell him that he can either leave by himself or send someone to escort him there. There are only two options, and there is no third option. Huang Qiong's tough attitude made King Yong immediately soften. Looking at the resolute Huang Qiong, King Yong, who was aware of current affairs, swallowed the saliva in his mouth and said with difficulty: "You have already decided, what can I do? You are the master, you have the final say."
Seeing that King Yong showed a lack of interest when he heard that his wife was going with him, Huang Qiong said with some hatred: "Look at your dejected look, how unbecoming you are? Why do you insist that Sister-in-law Seven also go? You know the reason. If you didn't have so many problems and wouldn't give others an opportunity to take advantage of it, wouldn't it be necessary for me to send Sister-in-law Qi, who has just finished her confinement, to go with you?"
"The root cause is yourself. Who do you blame for this? I tell you, if you do something out this time, something messy and dirty will happen. You don't have to come back. I will send you to Zongzheng Temple in Xijing directly. , calm down in that room for a few days. You are already so old, and now that you are a father, you should be more mature and act like a prince."
Having said this, Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly, stood up and turned his back to King Yong, with an indescribable tiredness in his tone: "Brother Qi, you are my most caring brother. I just left the palace, Qi My brother has been helping me, and I have always regarded Brother Qi as the most intimate person. I also know that Brother Qi’s current debauchery is to cover up the rift in his heart, and he does not fight or rob. "
"Now that the country is declining, the income of the court is becoming increasingly difficult. But most of the officials in the court are dim-witted. I am not a god, I have eight hands. A good man still needs three helpers. Seventh Brother obviously has a lot of ambitions. Guogui, why can't you change your frivolous temper and stand up to help others? Don't seventh brother want to earn a hereditary iron-hatted king for his children and grandchildren? "
Listening to the unspeakable fatigue in Huang Qiong's tone, King Yong chose to remain silent. In fact, Huang Qiong waved to him many times, but it was not that he didn't understand the meaning. But King Yong has always remained silent. Even now when he is asked to go to court, he remains silent most of the time. It was completely different from the previous days when I was assisting the old man in sorting out and taking over a series of overseas trade matters.
King Yong didn't know whether he was used to being careless like this now, or whether he still had some jealousy in his heart even though he had never said it. After a long time, King Yong let out a long sigh and pinched his already bloated belly: "I am just a waste who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Apart from drinking, gambling, and finding women, what else can I help you with?"
"The ambitions I once had have been worn away by the constant internal strife between brothers. The tricks they used were all inconsistent and damaging tricks. There is no problem in using those things for fun. They can be used in government affairs. , you are not afraid of being scolded to death. In terms of government affairs, I really can't help you with anything. At most, I can help you manage the house's internal affairs, so that you can stop worrying about the big men of our Tian family. "
Having said this, King Yong suddenly raised his head and looked at Huang Qiong's back, which had lost a lot of weight these days. I don't know what's going on in his tone: "It is said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. You have the skills to conspire, and you are not bad at using conspiracy when necessary." No wonder you were able to rise to the top among the brothers in such a short period of time."
"To be honest, my heart is big enough, but I am also an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary. I also feel jealous about some things. What this person says is often different from what he thinks in his heart. , are completely different things. Even if you are in the position of the King of England, you won’t be able to do it for two more years. But in just a short time, you have gone from a county king, to a prince, and now to the prince."
"The old man was still alive, so he passed all the seals to you. Not to mention the government, even the military power was handed over to you. This kind of thing has never happened in the past dynasties. In the past, you were the king of England. At that time, I dared to put my arm around your shoulders and drink together. Do I still dare to do that now? Among brothers, your brother is the king. Although I am the brother, I am also your minister. "
"The label of being a monarch and a minister of righteousness has stuck with me. Laojiu, no matter how much I mess with your seventh brother, I have once been ambitious and had a peek at that position. To say that I am not jealous at all, I Even I can't convince myself. You canceled Lao Shi's marriage with just one word and replaced it with someone else. The power of life and death will be in your hands from now on."
"In less than three years, you have sat in the position that my eldest brother has not sat in for most of his life. You are also a prince, but the power and status are completely different. I have always convinced myself that no You should be jealous. I have watched you come along and know how much you have paid. But sometimes, I just can't turn this corner myself, and I don't want to."
Listening to King Yong's inner words, he turned his head and looked at the sad look on his face when he said these words. This person used to be extremely close to me and always took care of me. Huang Qiong, who was now drifting away from his brother, sighed softly: "As a superior, are you destined to be lonely? The brotherhood that we once shared a wry smile with and drank together can no longer be found." are you back?"
And when Huang Qiong's sigh was heard in King Yong's ears, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Huang Qiong, who turned around again, with a somewhat lonely back. Just when he was about to open his mouth to say something, Huang Qiong's words came to his ears: "Brother Qi, everyone has jealousy. Brother Qi is not a saint, and neither are ordinary people. It is normal to have jealousy, but it is abnormal not to have it." .”
"I still say the same thing, no matter what Brother Qi thought before, or how he viewed me, in my heart, you will always be the proud and heroic Seventh Brother who is the most trustworthy among the brothers. As long as Brother Qi is there , I have the feeling that the Dinghai Shenzhen is here. It is not easy for people to come together, and it is even more difficult to be reincarnated as brothers. In the same life, two brothers, the seventh brother will always be the seventh brother. "
Huang Qiong's sincere words made King Yong, who was already feeling a little guilty, feel even more embarrassed. Although he didn't say anything, his hands were shaking slightly. There followed a long period of silence between the two. Until Huang Qiong seemed to say casually: "How long has it been since Prince Teng didn't visit Di Jieyu in the palace? Although she is an adoptive mother, nurturing kindness is more important than giving birth to kindness."
Huang Qiong's question made King Yong stunned. He didn't know. He was obviously talking about his own affairs, but why did he suddenly go astray and focus on Prince Teng? He didn't know Huang Qiong's intention, but he said without hesitation: "Fourth brother, since the last quarrel between mother and son, I haven't visited Di Concubine in the palace for more than half a year. I heard that he complained privately to Di Jieyu more than once inability.
"Half of my life has passed, and I haven't even been able to get a concubine. After his biological mother passed away, why did the old man appoint her, a loser, to adopt him. If there were other concubines, she could give him some help. That guy doesn't know In my heart, I didn’t really think so. Anyway, Di Guiren was so angry that he burst into tears and complained in front of my mother and concubine that he had raised a white-eyed wolf."
After King Yong finished speaking, Huang Qiong smiled faintly: "Whether it's sincere or out of anger, this is an extremely unfilial act. This dynasty has always governed the world with filial piety. Such a rebellious son must not be allowed to come out of the Heavenly Family. You can bring him with you Let the people from Zongzheng Temple go to Prince Teng's Mansion to convey the decree. Prince Teng is unfilial to his mother and ill-treats his concubine. Zongzheng Temple will be imprisoned immediately for three months. If it doesn't change, it will be one year."
Hearing that Huang Qiong wanted to punish King Teng again, King Yong was confused and didn't know how that unlucky guy had offended his master this time. This Lord is not the kind of person who must repay his flaws? Prince Teng is now more honest and will not take the initiative to anger him. Could it be that he wanted to imprison Prince Teng for three months just to vent his anger on that noble Di? But it looks a bit different.
But just when King Yong was making random guesses about what happened to King Teng, he heard Huang Qiong say again: "Brother Qi, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the clan from now on. When we come back from this inspection, I will let Brother Qi Officially taking over the Zongzheng Temple. From now on, all affairs of the clan will be in charge of the prince. Our old uncle has been too kind and soft-hearted towards the clan, so it is time for him to go home and retire."
After Huang Qiong said these words, King Yong was completely stunned. After a long while, he stuttered and said: "Prince, your seventh brother and I, but among our brothers, the famous ridiculous prince, do you really want me to take charge of Zongzheng Temple? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by people in the world? Aren't you afraid that I will make those relatives , everything went astray? You really have no one available, why did you think of asking me to do this errand?"
King Yong's words made Huang Qiong smile lightly and said: "If I didn't have this intention, why would I send Brother Seven to inspect the clans? Didn't Brother Seven also say that you can help me restrain our relatives? Aren't you going to hold me back? It's true that Seventh Brother does have some problems, just change them. As for the world's joke? I'm not afraid of you, so what does Seventh Brother have to worry about?"
"Brother Qi, go deal with Prince Teng's affairs first. Then go back to the house to prepare and prepare. When Liu Hu arrives, we will set off. Brother Qi must pay attention to safety during this trip, and we must protect Sister-in-law Qi. Brother Qi will come back safely. It’s not a big deal. If Sister-in-law Seven cannot come back safely, that will be a real big deal. If something happens to Sister-in-law Seven, then everyone will really look down on Brother Seven."
