Chapter 53: The Dispute over the Concubine
"See the Queen Mother!" Before the Empress Dowager Huayang could open her mouth, three people suddenly came out behind the curtain. Scared the Empress Dowager Huayang!
Empress Dowager Xia, Han Ji, and Cheng Ji walked out from behind the curtain in turn. Xiao Chengzhen looked sincerely frightened, holding the corner of Han Ji's clothes with his little hands, looking extremely afraid of the Empress Dowager Huayang.
From childhood to adulthood, the Empress Dowager Huayang has never given Cheng Zhen a good face. Since you are not related by blood, and you are the child of the opponent, why should you give you a good face? For this cheap grandson, the Empress Dowager Huayang was even a little disgusted.
"Yo ......! Natsuhime, why are you here? The Empress Dowager Huayang's brows twisted into a pimple. After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect Xia Ji to be in the Chengming Palace, is this thing said or not?
"Oh, Han Ji and I are here to visit the king. Other than that...... In addition, tell the king about the son...... Yes! No, it's the marriage of the crown prince! Xia Ji was also a little discouraged when she saw the Empress Dowager Huayang. Who made her just a concubine, and the Empress Dowager Huayang is the real crown princess and queen. The difference in identity is simply a world of difference. I want to stand up in front of the Empress Dowager Huayang, in the next life!
"The marriage of the crown prince?" Empress Dowager Huayang's phoenix eyes sharpened, it seemed that Xia Ji was not idle, and thought of going ahead of herself. Needless to say, it must be to tell the Korean princess that the matchmaker is coming. In this Xianyang Palace, it is really harder to find a fool than to ascend to the sky!
"Yes! The crown prince is becoming more and more youthful and lush, and it should be the time to find a good partner. In addition, Dawang has been unwell recently. The concubine thought about holding a happy event to make the king happy, maybe the king's illness would get better. Empress Dowager Xia didn't reply, and Han Ji said to Empress Dowager Huayang with the courage to blow.
"Oh, looks like we're going to be together. Han Ji. It's rare that you have a heart. The mourning family also came for this matter. Although the prince is still young. But for the sake of joy, it's good to get married. Daqin and Chu have been married for more than 100 years, and there is a virtuous queen like the Empress Dowager Xuan.
The mourning family has sent a letter to the state of Chu, and the king of Chu has promised to marry the princess of Chu to the crown prince. Either way, it's a good relationship. What does Natsuki think? ”
Empress Dowager Huayang squinted at Xia Ji, this woman is just restless. It's good to lose her face, maybe the people in the palace, only the Empress Dowager Huayang dares to call the Empress Dowager Xia like that.
Empress Dowager Xia was called by Empress Dowager Huayang one by one Xia Ji gritted her teeth. But there is nothing to do about this phoenix-like Empress Dowager Huayang. If possible, I really want to pounce on this slut and strangle him.
"Uh......! The Queen Mother has a point, but King Han has respect for Daqin. Previously, Cheng Zhen went to South Korea, and King Han also promised to take the fifteen cities as the dowry of the princess. If the crown prince does not marry the princess of Han Yan as his wife, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the king of Han to speak. Maybe those fifteen cities ......! ”
"Hahaha! I responded to my Daqin's things, but I can't regret it. If King Han didn't give it, the mourning family let Meng Fu take it. My Great Qin soldiers are sharp, and I am the hero of all countries. Not to mention fifteen cities, even if he wants Yang Zhai, the king of Han, he has to be obediently offered. "The Empress Dowager Huayang's words are domineering. Small South Korea really has little capital to negotiate conditions with Daqin. Empress Dowager Xia was robbed of white, and her face was red and white, which was very exciting.
Heaven is not as good as people. Just now, it was clear that King Zhuang Xiang was almost about to agree. Unexpectedly, halfway through the killing of a Huayang Queen Mother, let the cooked duck fly away.
"Uh......! South Korea is not renegating, but the agreement was made in the first place. The old man thinks that it is better for the prince to marry a Korean princess, lest the princes say that our Great Qin does not pay attention to faithfulness! "Empress Dowager Xia was completely suppressed by Empress Dowager Huayang, and even the mourning family did not dare to call herself.
"Faithfulness? The treaty was signed, and if you want to marry, let Cheng Cheng marry. Besides, when did you Koreans talk about Sinyi? If it weren't for your South Korea's rebellion, how could it lead to the Changping War. If it weren't for your South Korea's treachery, how could Zhao State be defeated by Wu Anjun and surrender 400,000 people. Zhao Guo has been in a slump since then, hehe! Speaking of which, Daqin really has to thank you for your Korean faith, hahaha!
Well, since Natsuhime, you opened your mouth. The mourning family will also save you some face, so what if Zheng'er marries the Korean princess! Only...... Just be a beauty! ”
"What?" Empress Dowager Xia's face turned white after a "brush", and the beauty ...... She is a low-level concubine in the palace. Princess Han Yan being a beauty is simply a humiliation to South Korea.
"It's decided, the crown prince is married to the princess of Chu Guoyan. Another Korean princess is a beauty, which is a harem thing. Today, the mourning family came to just talk to the king! Since the king has no opinion, the mourning family will go to handle it first. Xia Ji, tell your brother Wang, the dowry is richer! Xianyang rice is expensive, don't let his daughter come to Xianyang and lack food and clothing. ”
The Empress Dowager Huayang didn't take the Empress Dowager Xia in her eyes at all, and as for King Zhuang Xiang, she was so angry that she shook her head and trembled. I want to talk but I can't!
In any case, Empress Dowager Xia is the biological mother of King Zhuangxiang. The Empress Dowager Huayang actually fell into the face of the Empress Dowager Xia like this, and King Zhuang Xiang was so angry that his eyes widened. His face was as white as a dead man, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the Empress Dowager Xia. "Poof......!" A mouthful of blood spurted out.
"The king......!" Qiandu hurriedly stepped forward and held King Zhuangxiang in his arms. At this time, King Zhuang Xiang had already fainted, and his face was sallow and sallow like gold paper.
"Imperial Doctor, pass on Imperial Physician ......!" The Chengming Hall echoed with this thousand desperate wails!
"Today, fortunately, I went to the Chengming Hall one step earlier, otherwise the king would have ordered it. The mourning family wants to refute, but I'm afraid it's a little embarrassing. This Natsuhime is always a thief, hum! The mourning family wants to see how long she can pounce when her precious son is dead. ”
In the Gaoquan Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang sat on the couch. took a sip of the honey water handed over by Qin Qing, and his chest fell together. Today's events are indeed thrilling, if King Zhuangxiang gives an order. Now Lu Buwei is not very obedient, and he really wants to marry a Korean princess. Is there still a good life for her Empress Dowager Huayang in the harem? The people surrounding the Mi clan will gradually fall apart until the Mi family's power that has been operating in the Qin State for many years collapses.
"The Queen Mother is angry, since the Queen Mother has fallen on Xia Ji's face today. I'm afraid that the king will no longer have any objections, after all, the king is now seriously ill. This matter of the Qin State, Lu Buwei is still in charge, he has only been in charge for a few days. Now this matter is completely up to the Queen Mother. ”
"Not necessarily, the opinions of those old guys in the Great Qin military are very important. In fact, although the power of the Mi family is large, the mainstay of Daqin is still the old guys of the military.
Daqin is located in the borderlands, and the people are not wise, and Daqin has no conscience since ancient times. Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, and others are the people of Great Qin. The generals of Great Qin expanded their territory, and the capable men and wise men of the Six Kingdoms governed the country. This is the basic pattern of the Great Qin court.
Our Mi family looked at the response, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that he has never been able to grasp the core power of Great Qin - military power! The world of Great Qin is still controlled by the royal family. Those old guys in the Great Qin military admit their allegiance to the royal family. For so many years, the mourners have tried their best to achieve little success! Empress Dowager Huayang sighed helplessly, although she was also a member of the royal family, but the bigwigs of the local military in Daqin didn't seem to treat her as their own.
"The Queen Mother was too worried, Qing'er saw that Zhao Ji was an honest person. There is no force behind it, and it doesn't seem to have much ambition. In the future, Gongzi Zheng will become the king, and the court of Daqin is not the queen mother, you have the final say. Gongzizheng is only twelve years old this year, and before the crown is added according to the etiquette system, the government is to be assisted by the queen mother.
The Queen Mother is in power, and she is afraid of those old guys. Do they dare to rebel? Don't forget, the Great Qin military is the most loyal to the royal family. As long as the crown prince ascends to the heights, any rebellion will melt into the ice. ”
"That being said, let's take it one step at a time! If you make a wrong step, the consequences will be unimaginable! The Empress Dowager Huayang let out a long sigh, although she was in a high position, she still felt like she was walking on thin ice over the years.
"Send a fast horse again, let Yun Yue come to Xianyang quickly. With the gang of killers under him, he must ensure the safety of Princess Chu Guoyan no matter what. As long as Princess Chu Guochang comes to Daqin, she will become the new queen. My family will prosper again for 30 years. The mourning family is also worthy of the aunt and the ancestors of the Mi family. Thinking of the upcoming princess of Chu State, the Empress Dowager Huayang had a feeling of handing over the baton. Although there is a little bit of loss, but more of a relief.
In the past ten years, this heavy burden has been on my heart. From a teenage girl, she has obviously become a half-aged. With the taste in my heart, it's time to train a successor. In this life, things have been stressed, and there have been a few comfortable days.
"No! Qing'er will send someone to urge! When Qin Qing heard Yun Yue's name, his heart tightened. In my heart, I look forward to seeing it, but I don't want to see it. All of a sudden, the thoughts in my head were like a mess.
"You are also ready to prepare, and you will also go this time. Yun Yue is a big man, and he can only protect the soldiers. This woman's careful thinking also has to be guarded against. You must personally inquire about the diet and daily life of the princess. If a man is careless, you will pay more attention to these things. Empress Dowager Huayang didn't seem to see Qin Qing's slightly red face, and said to herself.
"The Queen Mother is talking ......!" Qin Qing said in surprise.
"Humph! Xia Ji has also been in the Qin State for more than twenty years, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are few loyal subordinates. Shouchun came to Xianyang thousands of miles away, and the mourning family was worried that there would be an accident on the way. ”
"They will have such courage, if they are detected, it will cause a war to destroy the country." Qin Qing couldn't believe that Xia Ji would be so frustrated to poison the princess of Chu on the road.
"This man's eyes are black, and his heart is red. If one day your eyes are red, your heart will be black. In order to compete for power and profit, what dare they not dare. (To be continued.) )
