"Although the first emperor had all kinds of bad things, at least he didn't say anything to the empress Ouyang. From the beginning to the end, she was the only one in the harem. The two sons of the first emperor are both descended from the current empress dowager Ouyang." Du Xiancheng followed with emotion , "It's really not easy to be an emperor and still be able to guard only one woman."

Xiao Xiangsheng paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

"The previous prince was not our present Emperor Dezhen, but his direct elder brother, Prince Deming. Unfortunately, Prince Deming was too lustful and loved a lot. He also neglected the Crown Princess Yuanshi and favored Zhaoxun and Fengshi Youjia even let her give birth to the eldest son before the crown princess. This matter made Prince Deming's mother, Empress Ouyang, very dissatisfied. Later, the crown princess Yuan died suddenly. At that time, the queen Ouyang was furious, thinking that it was the first The prince's concubine, Feng Shi, poisoned the prince's concubine, rushed to the prince's east palace, and had Feng Zhaoxun killed." Xiao Xiangsheng stopped in front of the window, with a solemn, unspeakably handsome face.

I don't know who secretly revealed this past incident, which led to the abolition of the former prince. Of course, it is no longer a palace secret.From top to bottom, the people in Chang'an City are familiar with every detail, and some even make up jokes and set up a storytelling stall in teahouses and taverns every day.

Du Xiancheng thought of those things, and said with lingering fear: "The former prince is really, he doted on his concubine and killed his wife to such an extent, no wonder his mother got angry. Who doesn't know that the first emperor's empress, who is now the empress dowager Ouyang, hated those coquettish women the most? A woman of Tao. Prince Deming couldn't control his three inches below the navel, so he had to exchange the position of Ninth Five Supreme."

Xiao Xiangsheng sneered, "Our current Emperor Dezhen was born of the same mother as the former crown prince. Do you think there will be a difference between them? - Aren't they still as lustful? Of course, there are still differences. First the prince can pretend, until he ascends the throne, then he will show his true face." After speaking, he walked faster and faster in the study.

Du Xiancheng waved his hand, "Brother sat down and talked, and it made me dizzy when he walked around the room."

When Xiao Xiangsheng sat down, Du Xiancheng poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him personally, and said with a smile: "Brother, although the old emperor did this unreasonably, it doesn't seem to have much to do with us. . . . Brother, don’t make such a fuss, right?”

puff!

Xiao Xiangsheng spat out a mouthful of tea.

"The emperor's old man? How dare you say it! The emperor is not much older than us this year, and you dare to call him an 'old man'?!——I advise you to be more cautious. It's okay to talk about it here. If you speak outside If you have nothing to hide, if you are caught by others, no one can save you." Xiao Xiangsheng persuaded in a low voice.

Du Xiancheng hurriedly sat upright, "Brother taught me a lesson. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." But he secretly laughed in his heart. The elder brother almost yelled at Emperor Dezhen just now, and he actually taught himself...

Xiao Xiangsheng knew what Du Xiancheng was thinking when he saw Du Xiancheng's face, and he couldn't help but give him a sideways glance, and he also thought it was funny, "But you are right. Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us. We are neither wealthy A rich family is not a high-ranking official, so it is not up to us to hire a noble girl as a concubine. But to choose a good family girl to be a palace maid, your daughter is only two years old, and I don't have a daughter, let alone get involved. "

Du Xiancheng nodded with a smile, "That's exactly the reason. Big Brother just needs to understand."

But Xiao Xiangsheng's mood became so gloomy.

When everyone finished eating and talking, and when Du Xiancheng took his wife and daughter to leave, Xiao Xiangsheng was still in a low mood.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? Are you still worried about that matter? Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with us?" Du Xiancheng was very puzzled, he wanted to share Xiao Xiangsheng's worries, but he didn't know what he was worried about.

It was also difficult for Xiao Xiangsheng to tell Du Xiancheng clearly, but he just said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to the Duke of Qi's mansion to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift, have you made arrangements there?"

Du Xiancheng hurriedly said: "Everything is ready, why don't we go with the elder brother's people. My people are careless, I'm afraid they might miss something on the way."

"Alright. Tomorrow, you can ask your people to bring the ox cart, just go to Xiao Xing. He will arrange it." Xiao Xiangsheng followed the instructions.

On the battlefield of Goguryeo that year, Qi Boshi, Duke of Qi, dispatched a surprise army to cut off the retreat of Goguryeo general Eulchi Lewen, just in time to save Xiao Xiangsheng and Du Xiancheng.

Qi Boshi appreciated their witty decision and kept them in the Qi family's army until the crown prince supervised the country and declared a truce, and then brought them back to the land of Da Zhou.In the end, he also gave them gold, silver and jewelry, which became the capital for their fortune as salt merchants.

Therefore, both Xiao Xiangsheng and Du Xiancheng are very grateful for Qi Boshi's kindness.In these years, the four festivals and eight rituals are not forgotten once, and people are sent to take care of them properly.

Qi Guogong's mansion is in Taizhou, more than 800 miles away from Chang'an, and it is not easy to come and go, so they usually set off early in order to deliver the gifts before the festival.

The Duke of Qi, Qi Boshi, was born in the noble family of Guanlong, and the title of the Duke of Qi was passed down from his ancestors.Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many titles have been conferred, but most of them are empty positions, including Qi Boshi's title of Duke of Qi.But Qi Boshi himself is shrewd and capable. He has been famous since he was 13 years old. It is said that he is proficient in everything.Since he was 15 years old, the people who promised him his relatives have stepped through the threshold of the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Qi Boshi himself is a young hero, and he is also very cautious about the original wife he wants to marry.

As the old saying goes, one raging soldier, one raging general.

The same is true of this family.

If the hero's character is not good, he will only cheat their family.

But if the hostess has a bad character, she will cheat their offspring.

Therefore, when a large family selects the clan's wife and wife, the right family is the most important thing, and then in the case of the right family, the further selection of talents with good character is carried out.

Qi Boshi had been picking for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable wife.Later, when he got older, it was unbearable to have no woman to take care of him, so he took Wan Shi, the youngest daughter who was close to the lieutenant general's family, as his concubine to help him take care of the house temporarily.

Then one year, Ouyang Cheng, the great general of the Zhou Dynasty, was also the uncle of the dynasty, and his eldest daughter, Ouyang Zi, was fifteen years old.At Ouyang Zi's Jiji ceremony, Ouyang Cheng put forward the condition for choosing a mate for his daughter, that is, he asked the noble son who came to propose marriage to be able to shoot the beautifully embroidered peacock picture on the screen of the middle hall with a feather arrow from a hundred steps away.

As soon as Qi Boshi saw Ouyang Zi, he vowed to marry her.He was already very good at archery. He not only shot the peacock, but also shot the peacock's eye from a hundred steps away. Ouyang Cheng praised him greatly and betrothed his daughter to him.

This has also become a good story in Dazhou, known as "the bird screen is selected".

After Qi Boshi married Ouyang Zi, he rarely even set foot in his concubine Wan Shi's house, and he was very affectionate with Ouyang Zi.In ten years, Ouyang Zilian gave birth to three sons and one daughter.But Wan only gave birth to a son and a daughter.

After Emperor Dezhen succeeded to the throne, Qi Boshi, who had always followed the rules, was reused. Now he also serves as the commander-in-chief of Taizhou, leading the troops to guard the two fortresses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has truly become the minister of Emperor Dezhen.

Emperor Dezhen's decree for concubine selection was also sent to Duke Qi Boshi's mansion early in the morning to hire his cousin Qi Xuan as his concubine.

Qi Xuan is the only noble daughter of the right age in their Qi family's close branch, but she already has a fiancé whom she likes, so of course she doesn't want to enter the palace as a concubine. She has been crying and making noises in Qi Boshi's mansion for the past few days, which made Qi Boshi very upset .
