Song Yi

Chapter 473 The Liang Family

Empress Dowager Liang came back from the dead, but the reason was not announced to the outside world.At that time, no one knew that it was Du Wenhao who performed acupuncture in the coffin and poured soup to wake her up, but saw her standing out of the coffin directly.

After that, Empress Dowager Liang never told anyone that it was Du Wenhao who saved him. Today is the first time that she said that she came back from the dead, so of course it will not be attributed to Du Wenhao.

Although this kind of resurrection from the dead is rare, it is still rumored from time to time, so I am not too surprised.The Liang family didn't know that Du Wenhao had played an important role in the resurrection of the Empress Dowager Liang, so they couldn't accept why the Empress Dowager Liang recognized a medical officer from the Song Dynasty as her younger brother and gave such high treatment. up.

Du Wenhao didn't explain it either, what a fart to explain to these people whose eyes are above the top.

The Empress Dowager Liang said patiently: "I called you here to tell you that I recognized this younger brother and named him King of Shandan, and gave him the land of Shandan Racecourse as a fief. I am not asking for your opinions. But let you get along with him in peace in the future."

Liang Ao turned his head angrily and said to the old man: "Grandpa, don't you care? The queen mother dragged these messy people into our house, can't we live this life?"

Liang Yiwei also nodded, looked at Liang Yongneng and said, "Yes, father, we can't let the queen mother do this, you have to persuade her. The queen mother has worked too hard these days, and she just came back from the dead, her head is in confusion Yes, it's a bit confusing to be fooled by outsiders like this, you are the head of the country, and the queen mother will listen to what you say."

"What's the use of what I said, she is the queen mother, what can she do if she doesn't listen to me? If she is annoyed, give me a whip, and I will have to bear it."

Queen Mother Liang frowned, and said to Liang Yongneng: "Father is serious. Wen Hao is very good, and I hit it off right away. After my husband passed away, there was no one around me who could talk. I had a good conversation with Wen Hao just now, so I recognized him. Siblings, I also hope that father can understand."

"We can't understand. Because our ancestors are Han, we have already been suspected by those party aristocrats. Now that you recognize such a Han as your younger brother, I'm afraid it will attract even more suspicion. The gain outweighs the loss."

Liang Aojiao curled her lips and said: "Everyone knows what the Queen Mother wants to do. Isn't she just looking for a man? If you look for it, you can look for it. It's not like you haven't looked for it before. Just enjoy it in private. Why do you want to be your brother? The Liang family, isn't this intentional to make people laugh at our Liang family."

Empress Dowager Liang's eyes turned cold.

His father, Liang Yiwei, found out that something was wrong, and quickly reprimanded his daughter: "You bastard, how dare you talk to the Queen Mother like that, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to apologize?"

This Liang Aojiao is the niece of the Empress Dowager Liang, she has always been doted on by the Empress Dowager Liang and her father, so she has been spoiled and arrogant since she was a child, she was not taught well, and she will not be obedient when she grows up.At this moment, after listening to his father's reprimand, he turned around and ignored him with folded arms.

Liang Yiwei was so angry that he had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "Sister Queen Mother, please forgive me, this child is spoiled."

Du Wenhao smiled when he saw this, stood up, glanced at everyone and said: "Actually, I really don't want to be your Liang family. This is the empress dowager's flattery, and she insists on making me her younger brother. Since you don't welcome me, how about this matter?" Forget it. Thank you, Queen Mother, and I will take my leave first."

"Stop!" Liang Yiwei blocked Du Wenhao's path with his head, "What did you mean just now?"

Du Wenhao looked at him coldly: "What do you mean?"

"What you said just now, did you mean that my sister, the Queen Mother, insisted on recognizing you as her younger brother? I am not enough to be her younger brother, do I have to find you to make up for it? Who are you, why does my sister insist on letting you be her younger brother? What do you say?" If you don’t make it clear today, you don’t want to leave anywhere.”

Liang Duomai also stood aside shaking his fists, forming a siege, and said to Du Wenhao: "That's right, you think you can come in the Empress Dowager's mansion whenever you want? You also said that the Empress Dowager flattered you, please be my younger brother. If this word is going to be spread outside, how can our Liang family behave? If you don’t make it clear today and apologize, don’t expect to walk out of this door!”

Empress Dowager Liang was furious, she clapped her hand on the soft floor, and said angrily: "Do you still take me seriously, do you still recognize me as the Empress Dowager?"

Liang Yiwei and Liang Duomai stopped talking, but they still stopped them.

Liang Yongneng stroked his gray beard and said: "Queen Mother, you are the backbone of our Liang family, and we are thinking of you. You have relatives like us, don't you think it is not enough? If you insist on recognizing him as your younger brother, is he worthy?" Come to our Liang family."

Liang Aojiao rolled her eyes and said, "That's right, what the hell, dare to climb up our Liang family?"

Empress Dowager Liang was completely angry, and pointed at Liang Aojiao: "You bastard, get out!"

Liang Aojiao blushed immediately, since she was a child, the Empress Dowager Liang loved her very much, treating her like her own daughter. Although she and Empress Dowager Liang's daughters were cousins, they were closer than real sisters.Now Empress Dowager Liang actually reprimanded her for an outsider, her face flushed immediately, she covered her face and ran out crying.

When she ran past Du Wenhao, she stopped, gave him a hard look, and cursed: "Wait and see!"

With that said, he rushed out like flying.

Du Wenhao tried his best to hold back his anger, he really wanted to slap this woman hard.But Empress Dowager Liang is already defending him, and this woman is Empress Dowager Liang's own niece, beating a dog is up to the owner, so bear with it first.

The Empress Dowager Liang said: "This is my younger brother. I don't care if you recognize it or not. I just want to inform you that he will be my younger brother from now on. If you have any opinions, you can hide them in your stomach and don't say them out. Today is a day at home. I don’t care about what other people say, but if you still say that in front of outsiders, don’t blame me for being rude.”

These few words were spoken extremely harshly, and the faces of several people suddenly changed. Liang Yongneng was a little embarrassed, and his old face flushed red.

In his impression, the daughter of the empress dowager acted vigorously and vigorously outside, but at home she was gentle and gentle, and the family members would say anything to her in front of her, never hiding it.

It is precisely because of this generosity that they have the illusion that they can firmly oppose it.I didn't expect Queen Mother Liang to be so strict this time. I'm afraid this matter is not as random as they imagined. Queen Mother Liang really thought it through.

Du Wenhao said to Empress Dowager Liang: "Sister, don't be too anxious, speak slowly if you have something to say. It doesn't matter, whether people recognize you or not, you are my sister."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. Go back and rest first, and I'll call you another day."

Du Wenhao stepped out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom and returned to the East Palace all the way.

Lin Qingdai and Wang Runxue asked: "How is it? The Queen Mother didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"The queen mother wants to recognize me as my younger brother, and also make me king of the mountain, and give me the fief of the Shandan racecourse to raise horses. The horses can be sold to Da Song, and Da Song will give me all the money for renting the racecourse."

Wang Runxue was full of surprises, and said, "Really? You are going to Xixia to be the prince, so what shall we do?"

Lin Qingdai said: "You agreed?"

Du Wenhao said: "Why didn't you agree? Being able to get the Shandan Racecourse is of great benefit to our Song Dynasty. We in the Song Dynasty are passive because of the lack of cavalry. You don't know this. If tens of thousands of horses are sent to the Song Dynasty every year , you can form a fairly powerful cavalry team, and you will not be afraid of Liao and Xixia."

"She also gave you the racecourse, so she won't do any tricks, will she?"

Wang Runxue said: "There must be a trick. She wants us to raise horses for him. When your horses are almost ready, she will close the passage. All our horses will still belong to her. We will raise them for him." It's a horse."

Du Wenhao said: "I also have this worry, but I have also figured out a solution."

"any solution?"

"Aren't I the prince of Xixia? I raise horses in Xixia. I raise the horses of Xixia and sell them to Da Song at cost price. Isn't this equivalent to selling them in secret? Wool comes from sheep, Da Song Nothing to lose."

"It's a good idea. Use local horses to raise them and sell them to Da Song. The key is, is the Queen Mother willing?"

"She said it was fine."

Wang Runxue rubbed her chin, and looked at Du Wenhao with a half-smile, "I always feel that she treats you so well, and she has some bad intentions, otherwise why?"

"It's because I saved her life, otherwise she would have been buried underground now."

"If it's this, it's justified. However, those who have saved their lives to the emperor can sit and receive bonuses during the emperor's gratitude time, but gratitude will not last long, especially the top figures who hold great power. She As the empress dowager of Xixia, how could you allow you to raise the horse and give it to Da Song, so as to strengthen Da Song's military strength and then attack her? She is just grateful to you now, and feels that she needs to rely on you to continue to treat her illness, so she gave you You made so many empty promises. Anyway, those horses can’t be raised in a day or two, and she can find all kinds of reasons not to let you sell them in the future, and you can’t help it, after all, you are on other people’s land.”

Du Wenhao said: "That's right, so I don't plan to raise horses on a large scale at the beginning. I will see the situation first. And she has already told me that both sides of the Song Dynasty will marry each other, and the troops will each retreat a hundred miles. Let’s look at her statement first. If all these are done, why should I suspect that she won’t allow me to sell horses to Da Song?”

"Ah, that's true, let's see the situation first.

in the afternoon.

Empress Dowager Liang sent an eunuch to deliver the edict to Du Wenhao.

Holding the golden scroll in his hand, the eunuch passing the decree said to Du Wenhao: "My lord is now the prince, you don't need to kneel down to salute, just stand and listen."

What are you thinking?I hadn't planned to kneel down.

Du Wenhao stood there listening with a sullen smile.

The eunuch unfolded the scroll, and read it in cadence.The imperial decree was written in Chinese, and Du Wenhao was canonized as King of Shandan, and the land was the entire Shandan Racecourse.All income from the fief belongs to Du Wenhao.
