Chapter 76 It's All About It (3)
Qingque was a little bored.Cooperating with my family's Qingmiao to marry someone, can't you marry someone who likes her like a pearl and treats her like a jewel, and you want to deal with someone like Kuang Zhou who is greedy for power?But, forget it, as long as Qing Miao likes it.

"Qing Miao can't marry into the old house of Kuang's family." Qingque was thinking angrily, "My sister is not in the middle of a group of strangers, be careful! I will buy Qing Miao a house and let her live alone."

"What kind of house should I buy?" A Yuan disagreed, "It's better to stay in Jinwang's mansion. In this way, Qing Miao can see Mo's father and mother every day, and doesn't have to go back to her in-law's house to suffer."

"I think it will work!" Qingque's heart skipped a beat.After Qing Miao gets married, she still lives with her parents and has a care for each other. That's really great.

"Hey, you are very thoughtful for my sister, thank you." Qing Que smiled and thanked A Yuan.

"Where, where." A Yuan smiled slightly, "Your sister is my sister-in-law, isn't that what it should be?"

Speaking of "Your sister is my sister-in-law", he couldn't help but blush.Qingque also felt her face burning hot, and gave him a hard look.A Yuan, you are not ashamed!

Ah was originally shy, but after being stared at by her, his courage was reversed, and he stared at her eagerly for several times.Qingque was more courageous than him since she was a child, and she looked back not to be outdone.

The more he looked, the redder his face became.

"Did you two quarrel?" Mistress stood at the door, looking at them in surprise.She came to see the little apprentice today, but she accidentally lost the little apprentice and hurriedly chased him.

"Look, blushing like this, quarreling blushing and thick neck, you two are really good at it." Teacher tsk tsk.In fact, the little apprentice and the little nephew were obviously shy, but the teacher's wife didn't like it, so she had to say that she was blushing and thick-necked.It seems that saying this can relieve my anger a little bit.

"Auntie, you have wronged me." A Yuan muttered in a low voice, "We were discussing serious matters, and we didn't quarrel. I wouldn't want to quarrel with her, you really are."

Qing Que bragged, "Who is impatient to quarrel with him? Master, if I disagree with him, I must fight. The martial arts are much higher than him, quarreling? Impatient and impatient. See Zhenzhang under my hand, What a joy."

Qing Que blushed excitedly, A Yuan blushed even more, and Master Niang burst out laughing.

It was a worthwhile trip for Qing Que this day, seeing his parents, siblings, finalizing Qing Miao's marriage, and eating delicious meat and green vegetables, he was satisfied.

As for how to attack the Kuang family and when to attack the Kuang family, this kind of trivial matter will not bother General Qi Qingque, who is always in charge, and King Jin will do it for him.

General Qi Qingque has serious business to do.The reason why she didn't leave for Ningxia was because of this business.

In the eyes of the world, Qi Baoshan is a heroic general who became famous at a young age and was quite talented.It's a pity that the luck was bad, and he fought alone in the battle of Yuerhai, and died of exhaustion.

Originally, three groups of soldiers and horses attacked the Tatars together, but the other two groups lost their way due to the wind and sand and did not arrive in time.This is because the heavens are not beautiful, and we can only lament "bad luck".

After he died in battle, some people in the world sighed for him, some felt wronged for him, but none stood up to rectify his name: Zhao Yue and Tan Xian did not ask for credit for him, and after he donated for the country, he was still a dragon. General Tiger has no reward, no posthumous title, no pension for orphans.

He actually went away without a sound.

If he hadn't left Qi Yu as his only daughter, if Qi Yu hadn't given birth to Qingque, maybe he would have been so silent forever.Until several years later, no one could remember him, no one could remember this genius general.

This was originally commonplace in the world.There are buried heroes and wronged soldiers in this world, just like underappreciated literati, everywhere.On the battlefield, the troops in the front fought bloody battles and lost almost all their casualties, but the troops in the back took credit for it. This kind of thing is rare.

There is no fairness in the world.

Lack of strength or bad luck may keep you away from fairness, and you cannot see fairness at all.Fairness is not everywhere, it is rare.

The realization of fairness and justice can only be achieved through our own efforts.Waiting, relying, asking, it is useless to question the sky in grief and indignation.

Everyone in the world knows that Qi Baoshan was lucky to have a adopted son named Qi Zhen; Qi Zhen was lucky to have a adopted daughter named Qi Qingque.However, she did not expect that this girl named Qi Qingque would rectify her grandfather Qi Baoshan's name 20 years after the Battle of Yuerhai.

The cause of the matter was the sudden impeachment of Ke Dao.This round of impeachment is coming strongly, and the spearhead is directed at the three heroes who regained Hetao: Tan Xian, Zhao Yue, and Hu Yuan.Tan Xian was charged with the heaviest crime because he took advantage of his power to occupy a large number of fertile land in Zhejiang.Needless to mention Zhao Yue and Hu Yuan, one is honorable and the other is a eunuch, and they are famous for being domineering on weekdays. Things like "robbing people's daughters", "occupying people's land" and "torturing monks and slaves" are very important to them. It's pretty commonplace.

Ke Dao, like Yushi, can be impeached by rumors, but there is no need for real evidence.However, the impeachment of Ke Dao this time is not groundless.The astonishing number of land deeds under Tan Xian's name, and the complaints against Zhao Yue and Hu Yuan for committing crimes are all evidence.

The emperor hesitated after reading these impeachments.All three of them died, and they died suspiciously in the same place in Tanjiazhuang.I thought it was the misfortune of the three heroes who died, but now it seems that there is something else hidden?The three died together, and the three were impeached together. It is unbelievable to say that it had nothing to do with the war that year.

The emperor ordered the Hanlin Academy to dig out the previous files, find out the military situation of the year, and report it in time.Xie Shidu from the Imperial Academy was the man who prevented the emperor from setting up a concubine. He figured out the context very quickly, "...First, he worshiped the Duke of England as the general of Pinglu, the governor Tan Xian was the governor of military affairs, and the eunuch Hu Yuan served as the supervisor of the army. The letter stated that the troops were not enough, and that to regain Hetao, at least [-] more elite soldiers would be needed. Afterwards, the British Duke returned to the court due to illness and another Marquis Wuding was sent to take over."

"This is easy to handle." The emperor stopped listening, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.It turned out that the leader of the army was the British Duke first, and then Zhao Yue was replaced. He asked the British Duke to come and ask.

After the British Duke was summoned, he confessed frankly, "With what I can do, it is necessary to add another [-] troops to drive out the Tatars and regain the Hetao. At that time, the little Tatar prince Luohu was warlike, and the Tatars were strong and strong. The power cannot be underestimated.”

"Tan Xian and Zhao Yue were able to regain Hetao without increasing troops, which was beyond my expectation. Thinking about it, those two must be unborn geniuses, so they can achieve as much as they do." The British prince repeatedly praised Tan and Zhao Er people.

You said that the two of them were unborn geniuses, but they were killed by bandits on a stormy night!The emperor was a little dumbfounded.Tan Xian is considered a literati, and he has no power to restrain a chicken. Zhao Yue is a general, who can't even resist the bandits?
The emperor didn't ask the British public that it was too useful, so he had to order Xie Shidu to continue to investigate.The upright Xie Shi read and checked, and was furious, "These villains are jealous! These shameless people!"

Xie Shidu showed it to the emperor emotionally, "... 3000 people, facing [-] Tatar cavalry, brave and unyielding! The main force of the Tatar cavalry was wiped out by them! No reward, no posthumous title, no pension!"

The emperor was calm, not as outraged as Xie Shidu, but he took the file and examined it carefully.The emperor seemed to understand why the Duke of England said that he should return to the mainland if he did not increase his troops, and why Wu Dinghou was able to win in the end.

The emperor summoned Guangwei Qi Qingque, and asked warmly, "Does your grandfather have any legacy or last words to pass down?" Qi Qingque looked solemn, "Grandfather didn't leave any legacy or last words. He doesn't like to talk about wars on paper, he only takes the lead and immerses himself in killing the enemy. Your Majesty, he is the backbone of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty!"

The emperor was greatly moved.

Qi Qingque pointed to the military map and explained in detail the comparison of military power between the Celestial Dynasty and Tatars, Tatars' customs and siege strategies, the facts of the Battle of Yuerhai that year, etc. The more the emperor listened, the more he understood.

"Your grandfather is a hero of the Celestial Dynasty!" the emperor sighed. "A man like him who serves the country bravely should not be unknown, but should be rewarded!"

Qi Qingque had tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you are a wise monarch!"

Qi Baoshan, the dragon and tiger general who fought to the last person in the battle of Yuerhai and would rather die than surrender, was grandly commended and praised, and bestowed on Duke Ke with the posthumous title of "loyalty and bravery".The emperor specially ordered to build a Dazhong Temple in Beijing to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle of Yuerhai.

Based on Qi Baoshan's merits, he can seal off his heirs.Because his two sons were killed at the same time as him, and he had no grandsons, only his adopted son Qi Zhen, the emperor made Qi Zhen the Boss of Xuancheng as a reward to Qi Baoshan.

As for Tan Xian, Zhao Yue, and Hu Yuan, because they did have meritorious service back then, and they were dead, the generous emperor did not pursue them and ignored the impeachment.

Even so, Tan Xian's reputation and the reputation of Marquis Wuding's Mansion have been greatly affected.Hu Yuan didn't care, he was a eunuch and had a bad reputation.

His father's achievements were finally recognized by the court, and Qi Yu burst into tears when he found out.If I had this award and posthumous title back then, my experience would be different, right?Unfortunately, 20 years late.

Qi Yu excused himself to miss his grandfather and went back to Wang's house.Back at Wang's house, seeing Wang Tangjing, Qi Yu cried hard, "It was like this 20 years ago, how can I be so miserable?"

Wang Tang hated that iron could not be made into steel, "All this did not fall from the sky, it was Niuniu who fought for it! There was no Niuniu 20 years ago, there is no reason for you to think so well. Yu'er, Niuniu is much better than you!"

Qi Yu was crying, and it was probably the first time in his life that Wang Tangjing spoke so harshly.Qi Yu held back her tears in shame, and wanted to say something embarrassingly, but felt that it was inappropriate to say anything.

"Deng Qi is a jerk, and he knows how to prepare a dowry for Niu Niu!" Wang Tang was dizzy with respect, "You are Niu Niu's mother, she is about to leave the cabinet, what have you done for her?!"

Qi Yu has never been scolded by his grandfather like this since he was a child, and he feels wronged and confused.Suddenly, she had an idea, and said pleasantly: "Yes, grandfather, I have also thought about Qingque's dowry."

Qi Yu suddenly remembered that the box in the Qi family's old house could be given to Qing Que.

When Qi Yu was still a little girl, she followed her parents and elder brother back to the hometown to worship the ancestors one year.When she was playing in the old house, she somehow ran into a secret room. Qi Baoshan quickly came to find her daughter and pointed it out to her, "Yu'er, there is an iron box buried in the northeast corner of this room, which is full of treasures. One day when Dad is gone, I will share it with you and your brothers."

Before Qi Yu's mother died, she grabbed Qi Yu's hand and told her, "Yu'er, if you have a child in the future, you will adopt one to the Qi family! All the property above and below the Qi family's old house will belong to him!"

"Although Qingque belongs to a girl's family, her surname is Qi, so she can be regarded as my adopted child." Qi Yu thought for granted, "If that's the case, the iron box belongs to Qingque."

Qi Yu talked about Wang Tang Jingjing, "... Baobuqi is such a rare treasure. Otherwise, why would Dad treasure it and bury it under the ground? Give it to Qingque."

Wang Tangjing looked at Qi Yu in surprise, and gave Qing Que an iron box, an iron box that you don't even know what it contains?Qi Yu saw that his expression was unkind, and hurriedly explained, "My father said that it is full of treasures."

Wang Tangjing was silent for a while, then smiled wryly, "Forget it, Qingque's surname is Qi, and the belongings left by your father should naturally belong to her. As for you, you are her aunt, and according to the etiquette of being an aunt, I will add some things to her." Jewelry is."

Qi Yu agreed in a low voice, suddenly felt sad, wanted to cry, and felt infinitely sad.

Wang Tangjing specially ordered someone to call Qing Que, and handed her two scrolls, "Niu Niu, I gave it to you." Qing Que smiled, "I also come from a scholarly family, so I need a few famous calligraphy and paintings to show off .Grandpa Zeng, thank you very much!"

When Qing Que opened the scroll, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Night Banquet Picture!" Opening another one, she exclaimed again, "Mountain Dwelling Picture!" Qing Que stared at Wang Tangjing with adoring eyes, " You are amazing, where did you get these two masterpieces handed down from the world!"

"Night Banquet Picture" is a masterpiece among the paintings of the Five Dynasties. It is delicate, round and vigorous, and the characters are handsome. "Dwelling in the Mountains" is also a famous work. With clear brush and ink, it vividly expresses the vast and continuous mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.These two pictures are priceless, and they are hard to come by.

Wang Tangjing stroked his beard and smiled, envious of Old Yang Ge.Lao Yang, you are really good, you have taught Niuniu to be all-rounder, you can fight the enemy with martial arts, and you can appreciate famous paintings with literature!

Qingque smiled and Mimi put away the scroll, sighed: "Give it to me? Then I won't be polite. Grandpa Zeng, if I were you instead, I would be so distressed that I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. No, it's connected For several nights, I was so distressed that I couldn’t sleep.”

Wang Tangjing snorted, "Is Grandpa Zeng such a stingy person? Hmph, the Deng family also knows to give you some precious things, the Wang family can't lose to them!"

Grandpa Zeng, you... co-author, you are competing with Duke Ning!Qingque rubbed her nose, obediently put away the painting.

Just when Xue Yang came, Wang Tangjing smiled and told Qing Que, "A Yang has a heart, and embroidered a purse for you with her own hands. Niuniu, okay, this is her wish."

Qingque smiled, "Ayang is so cute, I want to thank her very much." It's okay if the girl in the boudoir is good at poetry and painting, she can give away the poems and paintings she wrote.If it is not possible in poetry and painting, it seems that they can only send some purses, handkerchiefs and the like-the purses Deng Zhiping and Deng Ziying gave to Qingque are also hand-embroidered purses.

Xue Yang walked in with a smile, greeted Wang Tangjing and Qing Que, affectionately called "great-grandfather" and "sister", and Qing Que also called "A Yang" with a smile.After a while, Xue Yang took Qing Que to a secluded place to have a private conversation.Wang Tangjing looked at this pair of somewhat similar sisters from a distance, and was very pleased.Look, it's great that the elder sister loves the younger sister, and the younger sister respects the elder sister.

Xue Yangyan said while laughing at Yanyan, and suddenly pouted his mouth.Wang Tangjing saw it and smiled slightly. Ayang loves Jiao, and he is very comfortable in front of his sister.

"...Sister, if you marry King Jin, I won't like you anymore!" Xue Yang said innocently.

"It's up to you." Qing Que said casually, "It's fine if you like me, and it's fine if you don't like me, as you please."

"Sister, you...!" Ayang stamped his feet, "You...don't care about me at all! I'm your sister, I'm your own sister!"

"I know." Qingque looked at her strangely, "You are my own sister, I always knew."

"Shouldn't you love me?" Ayang felt aggrieved, "Shouldn't you let me go? My brother loves me very much, let me go everywhere!"

"The Xue family's rule is that the elder brother obeys the younger sister, but my Qi family's rule is that the younger sister obeys the older sister." Qingque said with a smile: "I have a younger brother and a younger sister. Whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, you must listen to me. If you don't Listen to my words, throw them all out, and ignore them!"

"You..." Xue Yang blushed angrily, and looked at Qing Que angrily.Wang Tangjing felt that something was wrong, and walked over quickly, "Did the two sisters quarrel?" Qingque and Xue Yang said in unison, "No!" They refused to admit it.

Qing Que fooled Grandpa Zeng, "We are close, we can talk about everything." Xue Yang agrees, "Isn't it? My sister and I seem to know each other from peeing, very kind." Wang Tangjing was relieved.

Then the two quarreled, but very quietly.Xue Yang criticized Qingque, "You have no measure, I don't want you to be a sister!" Qingque didn't care, "Then I don't want to be your sister. In fact, I don't lack younger sisters. I have Qingmiao, Qingning, and the Deng family. Deng Zhiping and Deng Ziying."

She has so many sisters, but I only have her one sister!Xue Yang couldn't win the quarrel, and his stomach hurts from anger.

"I don't want to see you again!" Xue Yang turned his head angrily.

"I'm leaving for Ningxia the day after tomorrow." Qingque said lightly, "If you want to see me, you won't be able to."

Go to Ningxia?You are going to get married, so you still go to Ningxia?Xue Yang was dumbfounded.

"Hey, don't go." Xue Yang shook Qingque's hand, "It's dangerous to fight, don't go." There was a begging tone in his tone.
