The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 177 The Most Insidious Male Supporting Role
The Hu people have always been covetous about Datang, and would send troops to harass them every two or three years. The first emperor was stupid and reused his relatives, but the Qin family did guard the northwest firmly, and it was Qin Siyong who guarded the northwest that made the Hu people not Dare to send troops to attack when Emperor Wen of Tang ascended the throne and the court was unstable.

Anyway, there will be a fight sooner or later, and now that the weather is favorable and the food and grass are plentiful, Tang Wendi listened to Zhao Yunting and his son's plan to kill two birds with one stone, and blamed Qin Siyong's death on the barbarians, while Wu Qi and Zhao Chen led the troops on the front line to beat the barbarians. The news of the defeat also confirmed that his decision this time was wise.

Although the morale of the Northwest soldiers was greatly boosted by Qin Siyong's death, what does it matter?As long as he can win the battle, as long as he can promote the prestige of Datang, especially when he is in power, he only cares about the result, not the root cause, and the ultimate benefit is that he is Datang.

In the twelfth lunar month, before the imperial court rested, the northwestern army was about to attack the Hu people's royal court in Monan. Emperor Wen of Tang ordered the army to pursue the victory and force the Hu people back to Mobei.

After the big rest, Emperor Wen of Tang was finally able to relax for a period of time. He had been worrying about the Northwest affairs for the past six months, and he didn't have a good rest on weekdays.Knowing that the queen had called the emperor's eldest grandson to Fengyi Palace, and thinking that he hadn't seen his eldest grandson for a while, Emperor Tang Wen immediately moved to Fengyi Palace.

The queen led Fu Geer to greet him outside the hall.

Emperor Tang Wen ignored the ceremony, led his eldest grandson inside, and kindly asked him what he was doing just now.

Fu Geer obediently replied: "I am playing chess with the emperor's grandmother."

Tang Wendi was overjoyed, seeing that there was indeed a low table chessboard on the couch, he turned his head and asked the queen: "I remember you can't play chess, how about it, you can't even beat Brother Fu?"

The queen gave her husband a false look, and waited for the maid to take off his boots for Fu Geer. She let Fu Geer sit where he was playing chess just now, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to her grandson. I can't beat my grandson, since the emperor is very good at chess, how about winning for my concubine?"

Fu Geer glanced at his grandmother, did not speak, and looked at the chessboard quietly.

Of course Emperor Tang Wen knew that what the queen said was a joke, and no matter how smart Fu Geer was, he was still a child who knew how to play chess, but he took off his boots and sat cross-legged across the low table, playing chess with his eldest grandson.

Fu Ge'er had a sullen face, extremely serious.

Tang Wendi and the queen looked at each other, and they both smiled, but they also deliberately pretended to be thinking seriously.

"Brother Fu is so smart, even the emperor's grandfather won." At the end of the round, Emperor Tang Wen said with a smile.

Fu Geer was not happy at all, "The imperial grandfather deliberately let me."

Tang Wendi looked at his grandson's slap-sized face, beckoned him to sit beside him, and asked him with a bow, "Why do you say that? It's not good to wrong someone casually. Does Brother Fu have any evidence to prove that the emperor's grandfather lost on purpose?"

Fu Geer raised his eyes to look at him, and said solemnly: "Father said that his grandpa taught him how to play chess. I can't even beat my father. How can I beat my grandpa?"

Emperor Tang Wen was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, picked up Fu Geer and turned upside down: "Fu Geer is really smart, okay, this time it is the emperor's grandfather who is wrong. How about playing chess with Brother Fu?"

Fu Geer nodded seriously.

Emperor Wen of Tang patted his eldest grandson's head, sat for a while and left.

Walking out of Fengyi Palace, Emperor Wen of Tang suddenly remembered something: "Last month, Prince Kang's eldest son had a stomachache, how is he recovering now?"

Wei Yuan replied with a smile: "Good morning, the imperial physician also said that the fourth grandson is in good health, as long as the nurses around him talk to each other more, he should be able to call him grandfather after his first birthday."

The grandson did not suffer from the mouth disease like the fourth son. Emperor Tang Wen was very pleased, but when he heard about the fourth grandson, he couldn't help but think of the third grandson, the eldest son of the son he valued the most before. In [-], when the third emperor's grandson was born, he didn't even enter the palace to see it.

Counting the days, the third grandson was born in April, so he will be able to crawl by now, right?

Emperor Wen of Tang slowed down, and asked Chi Chi: "The access control of Duke Qing has been lifted, what has he been doing for the past two months?"

Wei Yuan pondered slightly, glanced at Tang Wendi's expression, and said respectfully: "I heard that the county prince knew that he had failed the emperor's high expectations. After the door was lifted, he still closed the door and never opened the door to see guests. Send someone to fetch the third grandson into the palace to have a look."

Emperor Tang Wen stopped completely.

Concubine Xian, he hasn't seen him for more than a year. The fifth prince pleaded for his mother and concubine several times before, but he ignored it.

"When will Zhaoyang Palace go to pick up the third grandson?" Emperor Tang Wen asked softly, standing in front of the corridor with his hands behind his back.

Wei Yuan has served the emperor for more than 30 years, how can he not understand what the emperor is thinking at this time, and said with a smile: "The emperor asked a coincidence, this old slave heard that the empress took the third grandson over early this morning."

Emperor Wen of Tang hummed, and didn't say anything else, but he was planning to go back to Chongzheng Palace, but now he turned to Zhaoyang Palace.

Wei Yuan bowed his body and followed Emperor Wen of Tang. When he arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, he looked at Emperor Wen of Tang and shook his head tactfully at the court ladies and eunuchs who were about to go in to pass the news.

Getting closer and closer to the inner hall, Emperor Tang Wen couldn't help but lighten his steps.

A boy's crisp laughter came from inside, and Concubine Xian gently teased, "Brother Hong, crawl this way, grandma is here!"

With a soft voice, Emperor Tang Wen could imagine the smile on Concubine Xian's face, his heart softened, and he strode in.

The maids in the room were taken aback and knelt down one after another.

When Concubine Xian heard the movement, she hugged the third emperor's grandson who crawled in front of her first, then turned to Fuli, without looking at Emperor Wen of Tang, but her eyes gradually turned red.

Emperor Tang Wen couldn't help feeling guilty. After the maids left, he walked up to Concubine Xian, looked at the boy in her arms and asked, "His name is Brother Hong?"

The grandson of the third emperor shrank into his grandmother's arms in fear of life.

Concubine Xian couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and put her grandson on the couch, picked up the handkerchief and began to cry: "The emperor is really cruel, he doesn't even know the name of his eight-month-old grandson, think back when she just got the emperor's grandson The concubine was so envious, the emperor persuaded the concubine not to worry, and together with the concubine he thought of a baby name for his grandson. Now it is good, in just one year, things are different, since the emperor is tired of the concubine, he still comes here to do it What?"

She cried, and the third grandson also started crying.

"Don't cry, you scared Brother Hong to tears." Emperor Tang Wen sighed, and called the wet nurse to take the third emperor's grandson away, and then hugged the much-reduced favorite concubine into his arms and coaxed: "Who Said I’m tired of you? I’m so tired, I won’t touch you when you punish the third child.” Even the third child, he didn’t think about heavy punishment, he just wanted to let him learn the lesson, and remember some things that only parents can remember. Huang Ge, he can't secretly think about robbing him.

"Then you touch me, you beat me to the cold palace, so I don't have to wait for you for a year with a glimmer of hope in vain!" Concubine Xian buried herself in the man's arms and cried, clenched her fist and beat the man's chest vigorously. , "I know I made a mistake and thought I shouldn't, but I already know my mistake, why you have refused to forgive me for so long... For a year, you sing happily every night, have you ever thought that I am How did you live? If I had known today, I shouldn't have given my heart to you back then, it would be nice to be a well-behaved side concubine..."

She started messing around again, but Tang Wendi liked it the most. There were so many women in the palace, and only this one dared to treat him like an ordinary man.Knowing that the beloved concubine couldn't listen to anything when she was crying, Emperor Tang Wen picked up the man and walked to the inner room, simply moving without saying a word.

It may be the relationship between the state of mind, or it may be that the bodies of the two are the most compatible. The nearly fifty-year-old Emperor Wen of Tang fought this battle for a long time, and the satisfaction and happiness he got were more than those of the new beauties. The three days were spent in Zhaoyang Palace, and one day was dedicated to playing with Concubine Xian for fun.

After a few days, Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty announced that his third son, King Qingjun, entered the palace and taught him a good lesson. The king of Qingjun repeatedly stated that he knew his mistake, and promised that he would assist the prince with peace of mind in the future.

Emperor Tang Wen was very satisfied.

Although he doesn't trust King Qing very much, he still has seven points of trust.First of all, he was not the first emperor, and his son knew that he was not so easy to fool, so he would not dare to make small tricks again in the future.Second, before the crown prince was decided, King Qing was tossing around. Now that the crown prince has been settled, he should give up.After all, King Qingjun was the son he brought up with his own hands, and he was also his favorite one. He was willing to give his son a chance to reform himself.

At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Prince Qing finally attended again after being closed for more than a year.He laughed at Yan Yan, and the other clan disciples talked to him affectionately no matter what they thought in their hearts.

Tang Ying is younger and senior, and the princes also want to toast him. When it was the turn of King Qing to come over, Tang Ying smiled, and while clinking glasses, he said in a voice that only each other could hear: "It's about cannibalism, salary and loyalty, little uncle." In this position, I will check whatever the emperor asks me to do, you will not blame me, third child, will you?"

Prince Qing smiled slightly: "Uncle, what are you talking about? If I didn't do anything wrong, I can't find anything even if I try to find out. Forget it, I already know that I was wrong, so please stop laughing at me. How about we pretend that the past never happened?"

Tang Ying nodded, raised her glass and drained it.

The king of Qing County also drank cleanly, and when he turned to leave, he heard Tang Ying's deliberately lowered voice: "Actually, before investigating those small cases, the emperor asked me to investigate two things, wood carvings and lanterns. , if you have offended anyone, third child, you will learn a lot from it.”

King Qing paused.

I thought that the emperor's father punished him because too many courtiers supported him as the crown prince, but he didn't expect someone to hand over the fact that he intended to form a party to the emperor's hand, which completely displeased the emperor.Guo Zijing, Zhao Chen, do you really think that you can fight against a prince if you have won the trust of your father and made a few contributions?

He sneered and left.

Tang Ying watched Prince Qing walk into the crowd, turned around with a smile, and greeted King Kang who came over, feeling in a good mood.

A light and fluttering sentence can not only give a favor, but also cause trouble for some people who he doesn't like, so why not do it?
As for whether it was Prince Qing Yixue's shame in the end or the two continued to be proud, he didn't mind, he just watched the excitement from the sidelines.
