66 Chapter 66
As soon as Wen Huai left, Cao Jun ran to Wei Yunqing and cried.
"Niangniang, why are you, why did you say that in front of Lord Wen?" Cao Jun's tone was a little aggrieved.
Wei Yunqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gonggong Cao, your performance is very good, but Master Wen won't believe it." ”
"As soon as Lord Kewen and Master Mao say it, they will believe it!" Cao Jun was a little anxious.
"And they believed, so what's wrong with that? Taking a step back, even if they don't believe that you are fighting for power with Zheng Xiang, I'm afraid they won't give you a good look, right? Wei Yunqing said sharply. The contradiction between Wenchen and the eunuch is irreconcilable, Mao Yirong will not appreciate Cao Jun'an just because he is guarding himself, and his position has already decided everything.
Cao Jun was stunned, and he also knew that Wei Yunqing was reasonable, but he still couldn't help but sigh for a while: "Alas, the slave maid still wants to have a good relationship with a few adults in the future, and when Zheng Xiang is defeated, if he can get along with them without incident, it will be much less." ”
"Are you afraid that when you defeat Zheng Xiang, Mao Yirong will come to fight you?" Wei Yunqing looked at Cao Jun with a smile.
Cao Jun smiled: "Niangniang, isn't it?" As you said, Lord Mao, they don't want to see us eunuchs, whether it is Zheng Xiang or the slave maid, I am afraid that they will not be able to get along with them without incident, it is the slave and the maid who are whimsical. ”
"Then when you're in power, how about killing them?" Wei Yunqing glanced at him.
"Hey, this ...... This ......" Cao Jun's eyes lit up, obviously appreciating Wei Yunqing's proposal, but then said with a bitter face, "If the slave really does that in the future, I am afraid that she will be drowned by the world's scholars!" ”
"I'm just going to say it casually, are you serious?" Wei Yunqing looked at Cao Jun in surprise.
Cao Jun was stunned: "...... Yes? ”
Wei Yunqing said with a straight face: "Gonggong Cao, you are not a eunuch, and I am not a traitorous concubine, we are all people who have the emperor's dictation and do things on behalf of the emperor, but we can't raise those rebellious thoughts." ”
"Yes, yes, that's what the mother said!" Cao Jun hurriedly nodded.
Wei Yunqing looked at Cao Jun and asked with some curiosity, "Gonggong Cao, what is your greatest wish now?" ”
Cao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Naturally, the emperor is well, and the country and the people are safe." ”
Wei Yunqing smiled: "Gonggong Cao, don't talk about these nonsense with me." Like me, my biggest wish now is to leave the palace. ”
"Out of the palace?" Cao Jun looked surprised.
Wei Yunqing said: "Yes." Sounds incredible to you, doesn't it? But I have always believed that even if the emperor refuses to let me go now, I will definitely find a way out of the palace in the future. ”
"Mother, are you here to ...... General Yan? Cao Jun's heart was pounding, in fact, his alliance with Wei Yunqing was not very solid, and he had always been on guard in the bottom of his heart, but the close proximity of this period of time often made him feel emotional. He has lived for so many years, and he can be regarded as having seen all kinds of things. Lustful people, but a woman like Wei Yunqing has really never seen it. Many years ago, he also started as a small waiter at the bottom, and he suffered a lot before and after, and finally got to this position, but he still can't be satisfied.
People with some kind of defects, self-esteem will be stronger than ordinary people, after Cao Jun became the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, there are almost no people in this palace who dare to call him around, he has really become a master, but the civil servants who often come into contact with him, regardless of grade, without exception, all look down on him; The concubines of the harem, even if they often scold him, they still look down on him in their bones, who calls him a eunuch, is he less than ordinary people?
A few days ago, his little apprentice asked him why he had been running so hard in Yanxi Palace recently, and at that time he casually said a perfunctory sentence without thinking much about it, just because he had formed an alliance with the imperial concubine, so he naturally wanted to move around more. But today he suddenly figured it out, he loves to go to Yanxi Palace, and it is only because he is in front of the imperial concubine that he really feels like a "human". The imperial concubine spoke to him very casually, and often made a disdainful appearance, but he just had a feeling of being treated as an equal. Thinking carefully about the relationship between the imperial concubine and the rest of the people, he became more and more sure that in her eyes, there was no distinction between respect and inferiority - from the emperor to the sweeping palace people, her attitude was almost the same. If it is a commoner, it is natural to treat people of the same class as equals, but it is inevitable to be flattered, and it is not the same as her, which shows that it is not her civilian background that causes her attitude. The emperor's attitude towards her is also worth pondering, he vaguely feels that the emperor seems to have some kind of awe for her, but he can't understand if he wants to break his head, the emperor is already the lord of the world, why should he fear a commoner, is it just because the other party saved his life?
There are many things that Cao Jun can't understand, but this does not prevent him from being close to Wei Yunqing. Now taking the risk of asking such a question is an attempt to bring the two closer together, and make their alliance stronger. As for what she said about leaving the palace...... He didn't think he could, but he wouldn't annoy her by saying his true thoughts at this moment.
"yes." Wei Yunqing generously admitted.
Cao Jun didn't expect Wei Yunqing to be so straightforward, but he was a little overwhelmed and embarrassed: "This ...... Mother, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"If you don't know whether to talk about it or not, don't talk about it." Wei Yunqing said.
Cao Jun: "...... don't do this......
"Hehe, I know what you're trying to say. You think, since I'm already a palace concubine, it's whimsical to want to leave the palace again, right? Wei Yunqing said, "But I only believe that things are man-made, if you don't try, how do you know that people can't fly to the sky in the future?" ”
Cao Jun had an expression on his face, how could a person fly into the sky?
Wei Yunqing smiled slightly: "Gonggong Cao, don't believe it, I guess that if we fly into the sky, it will be a matter of hundreds of years." ”
“…… Yes,...... That's right. Cao Jun smiled dryly, and only said silently in his heart, after hundreds of years, you and I have already turned into a handful of loess, and it is not a mother, what are you talking about? Why don't you just say that we will live forever in hundreds of years?
Looking at Cao Jun's expression, Wei Yunqing knew that he didn't take her words to heart at all. She didn't have the idea of forcing the other party to believe, after all, it was really "dead without proof" at that time.
"Grandpa Cao, let's go back first. Later, Lord Wen is estimated to be able to deliver the news, so let's go back and wait for the good news. Wei Yunqing said with a smile.
Cao Jun nodded: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
After all, the place where the cabinet was discussing was also important, only Wei Yunqing and Cao Jun came in, and the rest were waiting outside, so she walked out alone at this moment.
"Niangniang......" Cao Jun's slightly uncertain voice suddenly came from behind him.
Wei Yunqing looked back at the old eunuch who had been immersed in the deep palace for a long time, and magically saw a trace of crampedness on his face.
"Grandpa Cao, what else do you have to do?"
Cao Jun lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds before he said: "Back to Niangniang, the wish of the slave maid in this life is to be a high and powerful person, and the house is full of children and grandchildren." The former has Zheng Xiang in front of the slave and maid, and the latter ...... I have adopted several sons and daughters, and now they are all handsome, and they are also very filial to slaves and maids, and I think that I can add some grandchildren and granddaughters in the near future, and it can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren. ”
Wei Yunqing listened quietly to Cao Jun's narration. She and Cao Jun used each other from the beginning, but after this period of contact, she found that Cao Jun was not hopeless, so she took today's opportunity to want to probe his tone. She will have to leave sooner or later, and if Cao Jun, who stays behind, can be less selfish, it will probably be a good thing for the entire Daliang.
"In that case, Gonggong Cao's wish has almost come true, and Zheng Xiang is the only stumbling block on the way to realizing your wish." Wei Yunqing said, "Then Gonggong Cao, have you ever thought about it, your wish has come true, where should you go next?" ”
"Mother, this is ...... Why? "Since he has been open and honest with Wei Yunqing, Cao Jun didn't make a fool of himself, he really didn't understand what Wei Yunqing meant.
"What will happen when Gonggong Cao clears all the obstacles ahead? You only have one mouth, one person, no matter how much you earn, that's it, even if it's for the sake of your children and grandchildren, how can you manage the aftermath? When you are already at the top of the power, do you want to do something that will go down in history? Wei Yunqing asked with a smile.
Gonggong Cao was at a loss: "Leave a name in history? ”
"That's right. For example, the development of people's livelihood, the purging of officials, the development of the Great Liang, the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty, became the most powerful country in the world. Wei Yunqing said quite tempting words in a calm tone, "When the time comes, the people of future generations will remember that because of the hard work of the eunuch Cao Jun and Cao Gonggong in charge of the seal during the Tai'an period, there will be a hundred generations of meritorious deeds of the Great Liang." ”
Father-in-law Cao seemed to think of the future with Wei Yunqing's words, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement. As an internal servant, he was born with a defect, and all he got was infamy, and he was especially concerned about his reputation, if he could really be as Niangniang said, he would be able to live for a hundred years, then he would ...... How could he not be impressed?
"Of course, I'm just talking. The girder is still a mess, and it's not easy to do that. Seeing that Cao Jun was a little fascinated, Wei Yunqing accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law Cao, don't take it seriously, this is just my woman's opinion, and you can't go to the hall of elegance." ”
"Niangniang's words are serious......," Cao Jun hurriedly replied in a low voice, his thoughts not completely withdrawn from his imagination. As Niangniang said, with the current situation of Daliang, it is extremely difficult to rejuvenate Daliang and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but it is precisely because of the difficulties at this moment that the greatness of the person who has completed that grand goal can be more and more reflected.
When the two came out, they had their own thoughts, and after Wei Yunqing met the palace people outside, he returned to Yanxi Palace in a majestic manner.
Lantian and Lucui had almost completed the task given to the two by Wei Yunqing, so they made a report at her request.
What Cao Jun said before was mostly some more general and superficial things, and did not include those concubines who were too low-key, but the summary of Lantian and Lucui had more details. Including the respective temperaments, habits, and preferences of the harem concubines......
After listening to the report, Wei Yunqing put this information away. At present, Yang Yi's heart is still play-oriented, and the concubine who has influence on him is Concubine Zhuang. Although I heard Cao Jun and Lu Cui say that Xu Zhaoyi was also very favored before, but after coming back this time, it seems that Xu Zhaoyi was summoned by Yang Yi. Xu Zhaoyi and Concubine Zhuang had a dispute over the fabric before, and it seems that it is over in the end. After all, after returning to the palace, Yang Yi has found the most people besides Wei Yunqing, and Concubine Zhuang has the most, and it is understandable that others think that Xu Zhaoyi has fallen out of favor and no longer stammers with her, this harem is such a realistic place.
"Niangniang, there is one more thing ......" Lan Tian hesitated.
Wei Yunqing said nonchalantly: "If there is anything else you want to tell me, just say it." ”
Lantian glanced at Lu Cui, who shook her head again and again, saying that she definitely didn't want to say this, Lan Tian had to say in a deep voice: "Hui Niangniang, after you come back, Yun Xin will report that when you go to the cabinet, the emperor summoned General Yan......"
Wei Yunqing held the teacup for a moment, and his eyebrows were full of eagerness: "Is General Yan still in the palace?" He...... Is there any how? ”
What she is most afraid of now is that Yang Yi will go to Yan Rusong for trouble.
"At this moment, General Yan has already left the palace, and I heard that the emperor is just looking for General Yan to gossip, and he also rewarded him with some things." Lantian said, she carefully observed Wei Yunqing's face, as if she was hesitating whether to say the next words.
Wei Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." After a pause, she asked casually, "What did the emperor reward General Yan?" ”
"Yes......" Lantian wanted to say and stopped.
Wei Yunqing looked at her sideways and frowned, "What is it?" What are you doing with all your babbling? ”
Lantian said: "Yes...... They are the two palace maids of the Qianqing Palace. ”
Wei Yun stood up clearly, and his breathing suddenly became short, Yang Yi, this guy!
She sat down heavily, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, then poured a second cup angrily, and then slapped it on the table, and the tea shook and fell a few drops on the mahogany tabletop.
Lantian and Lucui were both slightly startled, and they all looked at Wei Yunqing worriedly.
Wei Yunqing was secretly angry for a while, thinking about the two palace maids for a while, and thinking about whether Yang Yi would deliberately give Yan Rusong a marriage. Looking at him sending two palace maids today, the possibility of marriage is too great!
"Go to the Qianqing Palace." Wei Yunqing couldn't help it, stood up and raised his voice.
"Yes, sissy." The two responded, and Lantian continued, "Niangniang, don't be presumptuous......
Wei Yunqing looked at Lantian and said in a soothing tone: "I know, don't worry." ”
"It's the slave who talks too much, the mother has always been calm and self-controlled, and the slave and maid are naturally relieved." Seeing that Wei Yunqing had not lost his mind, Lan Tian smiled.
"That's nature! Who is our mother, who is better than our mother? Green immediately said proudly.
Wei Yunqing finally smiled: "Okay, okay, don't slap me anymore, and you're not afraid of being smoked to death." ”
Lu Cui immediately said: "Everything the slave said is the truth, but she is not afraid of sycophants!" ”
Wei Yunqing raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word, and when he walked out of Yanxi Palace, his mood improved slightly.
Outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Wei Yunqing was not blocked, as soon as she entered the palace, Yang Yi, who had received the advice of the little chamberlain, greeted her, and smiled brightly and innocently: "Sister Yunqing, you ...... You've come to see me? ”
"Let's all go out first." Wei Yunqing turned back to Lantian and said. A few people received the order, saluted, and went out.
Seeing this, Yang Yi also drove the people around him out, and the last person to go out closed the door.
"I heard that you summoned Yan Rusong today and gave him two women?" Wei Yun cleared the door to the point.
Although he could vaguely think that Wei Yunqing took the initiative to come to him and probably heard the news in the morning, but if he really heard it, he still felt harsh.
"So what?" After Yang Yi finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the side, "I saw that General Yan had worked hard, and he didn't even have time to marry a wife because of this, so I sent a few people in the room to warm the quilt for him, what's wrong with this?" ”
"Why the hell do you want to give him a woman, you know it yourself. Can you fool others, can you fool me? Wei Yunqing tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Yang Yi still had his back to Wei Yunqing, "Concubine Wei, you can step back, I plan to rest." ”
Wei Yunqing laughed angrily. Yang Yi is now playing the emperor's score with her? She doesn't eat his set!
"You let me out of the palace, rest whenever you want!" Wei Yunqing said.
Yang Yi's back stiffened, and he didn't look back or answer. But this attitude only explains his answer.
Knowing that Yang Yi refused to let himself out of the palace easily, Wei Yunqing said that sentence just to stab him, seeing that he didn't answer or entangle, he said in a deep voice: "During this time, I will stay in the palace." But I hope you don't play any tricks. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind a fish to the bottom of the net! 166 Reading Network
