A few days later, Song Jiang, who was paying close attention to the battle situation in Fengqiu, was suddenly temporarily interrupted by an order.
In the Yamen of Daming Mansion, looking at the angry white-haired old ministers in front of them, Gongsun Sheng, Chen Dong, Zhu Wu and others were fine, but the faces of Zhao Ding, Li Guang and other old court ministers present looked a little ugly.
After seeing this, Song Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be angry, Prime Minister Bai. His Highness is indeed a bit ridiculous in this matter, but after all, this is His Highness's family matter. It's better for me to intervene directly!!"
The person who came was You Cheng, the former Minister of the Song Dynasty, his minister, and Bai Shizhong, the Minister of Rites who was about to take office in the future.
"Your Highness, the minister, holds the position of Minister of Rites. Since ancient times, the importance of etiquette and law is related to the orthodoxy of the people. However, His Highness, the King of Qin, secretly betrothed Emperor Rongde to a partial school. This is not only unfair, but also disrupts the integrity of the ruler and ministers. , please your Highness to stop it!!" Bai Shizhong said with a disappointed face.
Zhao Jinnu, the concubine of Rongde Emperor, escaped to Daming Mansion some time ago. I don’t know whether she was lucky or not. Although she escaped from the imperial capital by luck, she came because she had bullied Zhao Chang and his mother and concubine. After that, not only did she not get the honor that the Diji should have, but she continued to suffer blows. She was even directly betrothed by Zhao Chang with an almost humiliating attitude to the wife of a general who escorted her to Daming Mansion. Moreover, this general also had a wife. of.
"Your Highness, what His Highness King Qin did was indeed a bit excessive," Zhao Ding also said with a frown and clasped his fists.
Song Jiang took a look and felt a little embarrassed. The matter was easy to solve, but the key point was that he had already agreed to Zhao Chang, and the more stupid Zhao Chang behaved, the better it would be for his future. As long as he did not hurt the country's loyal ministers and good generals at will, he didn't want to at all. No matter, Zhao Ding is now considered his trusted confidant, and other veterans must also give him face.
Gongsun Sheng seemed to see Song Jiang's dilemma, and stood up and said with fists in his arms: "His Royal Highness, King Qin's move is indeed inappropriate. I am willing to go and persuade him."
"Okay, okay, you go." After Song Jiang said with satisfaction, he looked at Bai Shizhong and said warmly: "Prime Minister Bai, I will send someone to persuade His Highness, you can rest assured!!"
Bai Shizhong frowned and was about to say something when Song Jiang suddenly covered his stomach and said, "I don't know if I ate something wrong today, my stomach hurts."
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Wang Su next to him suddenly asked anxiously.
"It's okay, just go back and have a rest."
Looking at Song Jiang who left in a hurry and walked quickly, Bai Shizhong, who was not hiding anything, suddenly laughed bitterly. Even a fool could see it when he was acting like this.
Seeing Gongsun Sheng and others immediately leaving with fists clasped, for fear of being caught by Bai Shizhong, Zhao Ding shook his head and sighed: "It's probably because of this that His Highness the King of Qin came to the throne. You also know, Mr. Bai, that His Highness the King of Qin treats us like this." The old minister completely ignored him. Even if Lu Xiang went there, it would probably not be of much use. What's more, Lu Xiang was busy discussing how to appease the people's livelihood, and officials from all over Jingdong, Hedong, Nanjing, and Yanyun were reviewing appointments and couldn't get away. !!”
When Bai Shizhong heard this, he said with some worry: "I don't know that His Highness has indeed suffered a lot of grievances. There are some tricks in the palace, and I don't like them very much. His Highness is indeed the son of the late emperor. In fact, in terms of age, he is younger than the prince." Some, the superiors are justified, and there is nothing wrong with being angry, but we can't go too far. I am still a minister of Song Dynasty. Although the officials did not believe me in the future, they treated me generously. When the emperor came to ask for help, I really can't bear it. !!”
"Looking at His Highness the King of Qi's attitude, Gongsun Youxiang's talk to him probably won't be of any use. Now His Highness the King of Qin is the Generalissimo of the Jin Dynasty. All forces in the world have already submitted letters of allegiance to the Generalissimo's Mansion. King Qi is right about one thing. After all, this is a family matter. If we act as ministers and go too far and violate the rules, there is one person who may be able to help." Zhu Shengfei suddenly laughed.
"who??"
"Chen Mi's wife Shoushu Diji"
Bai Shizhong was stunned, shook his head and said: "Although Emperor Shoushu is Chen Mi Mi's wife, King Qi doesn't care about it, and Chen Mi Mi probably won't either."
"You don't know these people! Emperor Ji Shoushu is the only warmth in the palace of His Highness King Qin."
"What??"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin was bullied because of his mother and concubine, and Diji Shoushu was in poor health at that time, so she had a very gentle personality. I once saw that on the birthday of Diji Shoushu, His Highness the King of Qin rarely Entered the palace and prepared gifts!!"
"really??"
“Absolutely true”
When Zhao Ding heard this, he immediately said: "Send someone to deliver the message quickly. It is our duty as ministers."
"good!!"
Just two days later, in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, many enchanting singers were accompanying Zhao Chang to have fun in the inner hall.
Soon, a chamberlain hurried in and said, "Your Highness, Princess Shou Shu wishes to see you!!"
"No... who??" Zhao Chang immediately became happy and stood up quickly and asked.
"Shou Shu Diji"
"Sister Shou Shu is here??"
"right"
"Quick, quick, let her come in, no, no, I will go in person." After Zhao Chang ran outside excitedly, he saw a pale Zhao Jinbao appearing in front of him with two maids.
"Sister Shoushu," Zhao Chang hurriedly stepped forward and took a look, and immediately worried: "My sister's body is not well taken care of yet!!"
"No, it's much better. In fact, I should have come to see Brother Wang a long time ago, but my father and mother died suddenly, so I have been delayed," Zhao Jinbao said sadly.
"Sister, don't be too sad. You must pay attention to your health. Tian Hu will be wiped out by King Qi sooner or later. Someone, let the imperial doctor come over."
"yes!!"
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your concern. In fact, in addition to seeing Brother Wang, my sister came this time. I heard that Sister Rongde is also here."
Zhao Chang's expression changed, "Did Chen Mi Mi ask you to come here??"
"No, my husband didn't say a word, but it was a letter jointly signed by senior ministers in the DPRK!!"
When Zhao Chang heard this, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Those old guys!!"
"Brother Wang, I know that they went too far in some things in the past, but I hope that Brother Wang will consider it all for the sake of his brothers and sisters and open up a little bit!!" After Zhao Jinbao said pleadingly, he immediately coughed slightly.
When Zhao Chang saw it, he immediately expressed concern: "Sister, don't worry, I will listen to you, brother, let's go, let's go, it's cold outside, let's go inside!!"
. . . .
In the evening, outside the inner hall of a mansion, Chen Dong looked at the maid next to him and said carefully: "Madam??"
"Master, please rest assured. Madam is not angry. She is currently chatting with Princess Rongde!!" A servant comforted her.
"That's good." Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time in the inner hall, Shoushu looked at the woman with tears on her face and a haggard and aggrieved face, and sighed: "Brother Wang is different from the past. Listen to what he said, in the future of the Song Dynasty, other matters will be left to King Qi. He has the final say, but all royal family matters belong to him, and at the same time, he ensures that the king’s brother will be rich and prosperous throughout his life. Today, the Song Dynasty is completely different from when my father was here.”
"Sister Wang, I plan to send someone to take you to Jingdong Mansion, Xiaocui."
"Here" a maid came over carrying a wooden box.
"Sister Wang, I don't know how long the Song Dynasty can exist. My sister has a mansion over there in Jingdong, which was given to her husband by the king. In addition, there are some things that my sister has accumulated over the years. It should be changed enough for you, Sister Wang. Live your next life in peace!!”
When Zhao Jinnu heard this, he was moved and said: "Shou Shu, you are the only one left now. Even if I am like this, other brothers and sisters may have more difficulties in the future. I can only rely on you to protect them!!"
"Don't worry, Sister Wang, I have prepared the carriage. You will leave tomorrow, otherwise things will change if you wait too long!!"
"good!!"
When Zhao Jinnu went to rest first, the maid said with some reluctance: "Diji, forget about the other money, but that house is your favorite, and the master shamelessly begged it for you."
"It's okay. If I can let Sister Wang live her old age in peace, it will be worth it. Brother Wang is not here for the throne, but actually for revenge," Zhao Jinbao said worriedly.
