"As for entering the palace, Your Majesty, please stop talking about it. I will never leave the Fan family in this life. If the Fan family really encounters a disaster, then I will accompany the Fan family to hell, and I will never To escape. When Fan Dao was alive, I did something that was sorry for him. Now that he is gone, even if I can't keep his integrity, I will stay with the Fan family for the rest of my life. This is my fate, and I will never be able to Changed destiny. From the day Fan Dao left, I am the Fan family, and the Fan family is me."
When it came to entering the palace, Nangong Mei responded categorically, as she had for more than ten years, but Huang Qiong was helpless, gently kissed the beauty's mouth, and said softly: "Mei'er, what do you want me to do? What should I do? I still said what I said, as long as the Fan family does business honestly and pays taxes normally, I will keep the Fan family safe. But I really can’t let go of Meier. It turns out that when Fan Dao was here, I didn’t want to Force Meier to make a choice. But now that Fan Dao is gone, Meier has been worthy of the Fan family for so many years."
"Mei'er, why can't you agree to me? That boy Fan Jian is being naughty and doesn't want his son to go into business, but I am willing to let my son give up what he should have got and go to recognize someone else as his father? In these years, Mei'er How much have I done for the Fan family? It can even be said that there has been no Meier in these years. As far as the Fan family has done those things in private, there has been no Fan family for a long time. How many concessions have I made to the Fan family for the sake of Meier mother and son? Even Meier, Or how much kindness the Nangong family owes to the Fan family, it can be said that it has been repaid now."
"My Mei'er is so smart. How can I not see that since the discovery of my affair with Mei'er, the Fan family has been taking advantage of Mei'er. Taking advantage of my affection for Mei'er, taking advantage of I felt guilty towards Meier, mother and son, and maximized my interests. Now I even want to take advantage of my relationship with Meier, so that I directly acquiesce in this matter. It's not that Meier can't see this kind of behavior of the Fan family. . And why should we guard this family that may continue to extract benefits from Meier until she grows old?"
"As for the Ice Rakshasa, Meier can rest assured that she will never get involved in this matter. Because the Ice Rakshasa you mentioned is none other than my biological mother. My mother has now returned with my little daughter. She has been away from the school for many years. The so-called scholar with a magic pen is also looking for her mother. If my mother is no longer in contact with me, how can she contact a so-called friend like him? The Fan family seeks revenge on him, so my mother will naturally not interfere. ? If the Fan family seeks revenge through Jianghu methods, they can just go ahead and do it."
In fact, Huang Qiong said that this matter was a Jianghu matter, which was somewhat far-fetched. At the beginning, Fan Dao was digging the foundation left by the Shu waste people in the Western Regions. If Fan Dao hadn't gone too far, that man would have basically stopped meddling in Jianghu affairs since he accepted the disabled people from Shu as his students. Even the scholar with the magic pen who often avoided meeting him would not seriously hurt him. Even so, he left some leeway at the time. He only seriously injured Fan Dao, but did not directly kill him. Otherwise, Fan Dao would not be able to return to Fan's family in Xiangyang.
The fight between the two at that time was basically to compete for power in the Western Region, and it was completely different from the ordinary battle in the world. If the master pen scholar had not seriously injured Fan Dao, I am afraid that Fan Dao, who wanted to fish in troubled waters after the sudden death of the Shu useless man, would have caused more trouble. Even after King Anxi arrived in the Western Regions, it was difficult to clean up the situation. This matter, to put it bluntly, involves rebellion. Except for the two people who did it, both of whom were considered to be half Jianghu people, it was not considered a Jianghu matter from any point of view.
Huang Qiong, who didn't want to openly break up with the Fan family at this time, regarded the matter as a Jianghu matter. Of course, there is also a reason to protect Nangong Mei and her two children, but this is not the main reason. If it is characterized as rebellion, or some other characterization. As long as it is not a political affair, any kind of Fan family is enough to send the whole family to the execution ground. But the Fan family cannot move now. If they move, they will lose far more than they will gain. The Fan family was annihilated. Even though the Fan family was the most powerful family in the world, it did not cost the court much effort.
But what the Fan family is doing is, after all, the Western Regions, not the hinterland of the Central Plains. For the people of Daqi, the Western Regions were too far away. Many people even do not think that the current Western Region is the territory of Daqi. As for the Fan family's status in Daqi's business community, if troops were mobilized to wipe it out, the impact would be too great. The people of Daqi may not know what the Fan family did in the Western Regions. But once troops are mobilized to exterminate the Fan family, the impact on the business world will be irreversible, at least in a short period of time. Those businessmen will think that the court style has changed.
You would think that since the imperial court started to support and encourage merchants, the trend of going overseas has changed. They may even start massacres of businessmen. It is easy to wipe out the Fan family, but the price to pay to restore those effects is too high. The Fan family is the one that stands out among the hundreds of merchants in Daqi. The court's attitude towards the Fan family also represents the court's attitude towards businessmen. Even if the Fan family really committed too many taboos, cleaning up the Fan family can only be done step by step. It would be easy to dispatch troops to exterminate a Fan family, but the consequences would be endless.
Even the competitors who hate the Fan family deeply, or the businessmen who are jealous. Once the imperial court really wipes out the Fan family, they will all be afraid of the imperial court in their hearts. Even those overseas merchants that I had finally supported and encouraged would restrain themselves because of their taboos. After all, what happened to the Fan family this time was not in the Central Plains, but in the Western Regions thousands of miles away. In the eyes of most Central Plains people, it is a foreign land. Therefore, as long as the Fan family does not really break the sky, they have to suppress it.
As long as the Fan family gave up their power in the Western Region, Huang Qiong decided to suppress the matter. Therefore, Huang Qiong said that Jianghu affairs are Jianghu affairs, and Jianghu affairs are Jianghu affairs. At least on the surface, even if they are dissatisfied, they still have to characterize this matter as a quack fight. As for privately, it is up to you how to deal with the Fan family. That's why Huang Qiong suppressed the Fan family. If he wanted revenge, he would use gangster means. If the Fan family really used the people they bribed to attack the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, it would be a complete defeat.
Nangong Mei was stunned when she heard that the famous Ice Rakshasa was actually Huang Qiong's mother. Even if he knew it, Huang Qiong could not deceive him on this matter. In addition to Jun Wu's jokes, the more important thing is that he may not know the true identity of the Ice Rakshasa. Being born into an emperor's family, it is basically impossible for him to have any contact with those great masters. No matter the Tian family or those who are high up in the temple, they all look down on people from the world. Not to mention condescending to contact people in Jianghu.
As the saying goes, even if you learn martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor's family. But the real masters of the world are also unwilling to deal with people from the Tian family. When I heard that he was one of the two masters in the world, he was very prestigious in the world. Although decades have passed, the Ice Rakshasa who still trembles when some young people hear these four words turns out to be Huang Qiong's mother, the then Concubine Jing. Because of this, after Huang Qiong revealed that he was the son of Ice Rakshasa, Nangong Mei looked at Huang Qiong in disbelief.
But he said with some stumble: "Could it be said that the Concubine Jing back then was the famous Ice Rakshasa? This is somewhat impossible. If the Ice Rakshasa is the Concubine Jing, in this world And the wall of the cold palace can stop her? Also, how could she enter the palace? And become the queen of the Supreme Emperor? This is really unbelievable. It was just that it was rumored that the Ice Rakshasa hated evil so much that in his eyes A master who doesn’t knead the sand. How could you teach Your Majesty such a master?”
Nangong Mei's doubts, coupled with roughly the same reaction as others after knowing her mother's identity, made Huang Qiong feel both love and hate. He directly kissed this woman's mouth, which was full of mature beauty and richness. He had longed for her in the past few years. He stood up and carried the person directly into the back hall. In the apse, Duan Lin, Zhang Qiaoer and Liu Rui were among those who stayed in the apse at all times. Compared to several others, Duan Lin's eyes couldn't help but gleam when she saw Huang Qiong coming in.
When Huang Qiong came in with a woman he had seen before but never knew her true identity, he immediately knew what was going on. For Duan Lin, she doesn't care who that person is, as long as she can get both rain and dew. A few days ago, she had never been with Huang Qiong because Yue Xin was around. I've been thinking about her so much these past few days. As soon as Yue Xin left, he dragged Dao Meiping and Duan Yaner to the back hall of the Ideological and Political Hall. Zhang Qiaoer and Liu Rui have been living here these days.
Compared to others, Duan Lin still prefers to sleep with her family. Because in her opinion, it feels safer this way. Of course there's more to it. Seeing Huang Qiong come in, Duan Lin ignored the others and went directly to Huang Qiong's side, undressing and undressing Huang Qiong. Seeing Duan Lin like this, Dao Meiping could only sigh helplessly. She really doesn't want to stay in bed now. One reason is that she is older and has no more thoughts in this regard. On the one hand, there was something about Huang Qiong that she really wasn't used to.
Originally, in the days when Duan Lin was not around. Although Huang Qiong loved her very much, he rarely invited her to sleep with him anymore. I only sleep with a few concubines of about the same age, including Cai and Hu, once a month. But when Duan Lin came, she didn't know what her motives were. She dragged Dao Meiping and pestered Huang Qiong with her all day long. In fact, although Dao Meiping is over fifty years old, she still looks like she is in her thirties because of her good maintenance and her fairly superb internal strength. They look younger than the Cai family members who are about the same age.
The reason why Huang Qiong rarely invited her to bed was not because he was tired of her. Rather, he was considerate of her age and worried about what might happen to her if she slept with her frequently. Especially not long after arriving in Xijing, Hu died of illness in the Daming Palace due to his long journey and his old age. Huang Qiong rarely invited the older ones to sleep with them. Of course, it doesn't mean they are completely ignored. From time to time, he would accompany them to eat and talk, and he also loved the children he gave birth to.
Situ Huanshuang, the queen, and He Yao, who was in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, also respected them. I lived very frugally, but I was never stingy with them. When I feel unwell, I always call the best imperial doctor to take my pulse. The rewards that should be given are all generous. After Hu's death, Situ Huanshuang specifically requested an imperial edict to promote her to the title of Concubine Duan. He was specially given a nanmu coffin and a cypress coffin, and was buried in the concubine's garden in Huang Qiong's mausoleum with concubine ceremony. And after her death, the Liao family, who was originally just a Jieyu, passed Zhaoyi and was promoted to concubine.
And allowed him to mourn for twenty-seven days. This can be said to be an extremely special case in the palace. Of course, the Hu family could enjoy such honor behind her back, becoming the first person Huang Qiong had ever granted the title of concubine. Among them, Huang Qiong specifically compensated Hu for her dedicated service over the years and to compensate her for the grievances she had suffered.
