The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 164
Zhang Tingyu couldn't help laughing just now when he saw her driving over.

"In the past, the first emperor of Qin made great efforts to control the inner world, swallowed up the princes for two weeks, acted as the supreme ruler of Liuhe, beat and flogged the world, and vibrated the world. Now there is Mrs. Zhang Er who whips the slaves and dares to challenge the prince, and rides other people's horses to make the nobles My face has changed, how lucky am I, Zhang Er, to be able to marry such a lady who is both civil and military?"

He teased in a tone, completely ignoring what his wife had done.

It wasn't a big deal at all, Zhang Tingyu wasn't in a hurry as the first account hadn't been settled yet.

He was sitting on the horse, Gu Huaixiu opened the curtain a crack, and only looked at him with a smile: "You Zhang Er will also be in disaster later, with a troublemaker like me, just the mess is enough for you to clean up."

A moment of anger offended those two hard-hearted masters, who knows if they will go crazy.

Sometimes people can't tell.

Gu Huaishu was just angry at the time, but thinking about it later, it looked serious, but it was actually not a big deal.

The prince was always afraid of Gu Huaishu, whether she shakes the whip or not, it has the same effect.It's not that there are no counselors around the prince, he must know that Gu Huaishu needs to be eliminated, but there is no other way.Gu Huaishu was also afraid that Kangxi would kill him to silence him, so if she hadn't been pushed into a hurry, she would not have come to the emperor to bite the prince.

After all, it is such a simple check and balance.

As for the fourth elder brother, this man can bear it, and nothing will happen for a while.

Zhang Tingyu is also clear about what Gu Huaishu can predict.

He rode a horse and followed beside the carriage, also flicking the whip, and said: "Don't you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

Gu Huaishu said: "Learn how to shake the whip, I think it's more feasible. Next time you hit someone, you don't need to slap anyone, use the whip, and you don't need to hurt your hands."

"That's true, how to shake the whip is also a science."

Seeing that they are about to arrive at Zhang's mansion, they have been away for several months, and now they see that many people outside are waiting for them to come back.

Zhang Tingyu got off the horse and threw down the reins and whip, then came to help Gu Huaixiu off, the two of them entered the door, many servants and maids saw it, and then they calmed down.

Zhang Tingyu also bowed, with a bit of joy on his face, he only said: "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law are finally back, so you can see your father?"

Zhang Tingyu said: "See you, I've aged a lot... But I'm still energetic, and my body is strong..."

The two brothers were talking in front, but Gu Huaishu said that he would go first, went back to the house to pack up, and brought back a lot of Jiangnan Tuyi along the way, gave some to others, and then asked someone to bring them to Zhang. Those people who have friendly contacts in the government have been busy for almost an afternoon to get it done.

On the other side, Zhang Tingyu had tested Zhang Tingyu's homework in the past few months, thinking that Zhang Tingyu would also be at an age for the imperial examination this year.

Zhang Tinglu is traveling far away now, and he doesn't know how long it will take to come back. Zhang Tingyu simply suspects that he has given his heart away.

After all, what happened back then was a great harm to his third brother.

Brother Ting went there at such a young age, and when he thought of Gu Huaishu's birth at that time, he felt the same way.

Just after explaining some things to his fourth brother, he called Ade to come in and asked the concierge if there was a letter from Zhang Tinglu, and he said no, so he went to find Gu Huaishu.

In the evening, there was news that it was from Sibaile.

Today, when I went to the gate of the city to meet the driver, I said that the fourth elder brother's horse was frightened, almost threw people off, and almost hit the prince's horse. Fortunately, the fourth elder brother reined in the reins regardless of his own hand injury. The blood flowed profusely, and the hand was injured and could not write, but at least it protected the prince.

When Kangxi heard about this, he gave him some good medicine, and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the disease, but he didn't say anything else.

It is very kind to him to want to protect the prince, but Kangxi doesn't like the prince now.

He is fairly clear about rewards and punishments, but he already loathes the prince extremely in his heart.

In the evening, all the ministers left, he announced the prince to enter the palace to speak. The father and son had a long talk all night, and no one knew what they talked about.

Gu Huaishu didn't know about it until the next morning, and Zhang Tingyu wrote it on a piece of paper for her to read.

She only glanced at it, and then sneered: "Very hypocritical? This can also be said to be protecting the prince..."

I'm afraid the crown prince also knew how Yinzhen was hurt, but he dared not speak out.

After all, the crown prince was afraid of Gu Huaishu, so he could only bear with it. He might have thought that Yinzhen was implicated by him.

Zhang Tingyu has already gone to the court, and he has to deal with things in the South study. Gu Huaishu was reading in the room, walked to his study and looked at his bookshelf, suddenly remembered something, so he went to the bottom shelf of the bookshelf Look, where is the album?
This man is full of lies.

This shelf is full of sage books, Zhang Ying often came to Zhang Tingyu's study to read, and she never dared to put such dirty things in such a place.

She was sitting, and when Qingdai came in with tea outside, she brought an invitation card: "It's the birthday of Miss Chen Yu from the Nian family, and there is an invitation card for the family members of each prefecture, if you want to go, The servants returned the invitation."

Gu Huaishu thought of the girl who was "scared" by him and cried, Nian Chenyu...

Future concubine Nian?
She thought for a while, "Nian Xia Ling had already begged for retirement last year, but he was allowed to retire in the capital. He and his father-in-law have always had friendship, and the second master and Nian Gengyao are Jinshi of the same discipline, so he must go. An elegant gift for spare parts, there are still six days left, prepare slowly."

"Yes."

Qing Dai bowed and left, but the fat brother ran over behind her.

"Mother, mother, I'm going to play with Brother Lang... When I go back to the capital, I don't have any friends anymore..."

The fat guy came over and hugged her leg, clamoring for someone to play with.

Gu Huaishu pinched Fat Brother's face: "You are so ugly, how can you have a partner...Go and play by yourself."

"Mom, you're lying again. I have so many friends, everyone plays with me, and they all like me."

I don't know if the fat guy survived the extremely harsh environment, so his heart is very strong and long. Even though he has been derogated countless times by his mother, he still has an extraordinary ability to resist blows, never doubts himself, and runs all the way On the broad avenue of "little chubby boy is powerful in the Qing Dynasty and handsome in the world", he never looks back.

Gu Huaixiu was the one who couldn't laugh or cry. She thought about how she gave birth to such a self-appreciative son, but she couldn't understand it in the end, so she just said: "There will be a temple fair in Qingshui Temple in two days, I will take you to go shopping, so that you don't get angry at home. Bad luck. You ask Huamei to take you to Qianfu to find Brother Lang, and you can teach them... well, how to play chess."

"Did my mother teach backgammon?"

Fat guy's mind suddenly turned a corner. He has been playing with mud in his early years, why not play something advanced?

All of a sudden, the fat guy clapped his hands, and said: "Xiao Pang, I'll go find fat guy and sister Lin, mother, I'll come back at noon and don't miss me—"

miss him?

Gu Huaixiu wished she could beat the kid with a fan, she walked towards the yard and said: "Go slowly, don't fall!"

Fat guy turned his back to her, waved his fleshy little hands, and ran away without a trace.

Gu Huaishu sighed helplessly, just as he was about to walk back, unexpectedly A Ping ran over to pass a message to the maid at the door.

Duofu hurriedly came up to Gu Huaishu: "Ma'am, someone from the palace has delivered the decree."

deliver an imperial order?

Palace?

Gu Huaixiu frowned, suddenly having a bad premonition.

It seems that the Prince's matter was dealt with just last night. I don't know what kind of punishment the Prince is for.

She absolutely didn't want to be involved, but it seemed inevitable.

The eunuch Xuanzhi came to pass on the emperor's oral order and announced that she would enter the palace for an audience.

What kind of luck is there for a mere fourth-rank woman to enter the palace to meet the emperor?

Gu Huaishu lowered his eyes slightly, accepted the order, changed into the robes of a formal wife, and then followed into the palace.

Walk all the way down from the palace gate, and then walked through half the Forbidden City before arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor is now.

There are eunuchs standing around, their eyes fixed on each other, and the houses are either golden or red, revealing a deep depression.The palace maids all had faint smiles on their faces, as if they were happy all the time, and the eunuchs were also respectful to the people who came and went. There is a lot of courtesy with sleeves.

Gu Huaishu only said that the imperial palace has a strict atmosphere.

She walked very slowly with every step, fearing that if she missed a step, she would miss the ground and fall herself.

The soles of the feet are paved with high-quality terrazzo, which is even so bright that it can shine.

Her gaze fell on a place three steps away in front of her embroidered shoes, and she waited outside with her head down.

The eunuch went in to report, and there seemed to be someone's voice inside, and then someone called Gu Huaishu in.

"Xuan—Ms. Zhang Gu—an audience—"

The eunuch stretched out his voice, and when Gu Huaishu heard the voice, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

She cursed herself for being worthless, and was frightened by such a scene.

Gathering his mind, Gu Huaishu didn't notice anyone else here, he just entered through the door, bowed and turned to the right under the guidance of the eunuch, and saw Kangxi sitting in front of the window.

There was a row of bookshelves by the wall, full of books, Kangxi held a book in his hand, Gu Huaishu glanced at it, saw the sentence "The benevolent is safe", and dared not look at it again.

At this time, she got up sharply, knelt down to the emperor and bowed three hundred and nine times before falling on the ground: "My wife greets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Kangxi seemed to be fascinated by her, and finally shifted his gaze from the book to Gu Huaishu.

For Kangxi, beauty has become something completely negligible.

He is sitting in the mountains and rivers, and almost everything is at his fingertips. For a mere woman, he can decide her life and death with just a word of mouth...

Ten thousand people are like ants, like Gu San, crawling at his feet.

However, Kangxi felt very cold.

He thought of the prince, the absurd things the prince did, and Gu San's face.

"Get up, lift your head up."

Gu Huaishu knew that he couldn't hide, so he finally got up slowly and raised his head, but he didn't dare to look at Kangxi.

In the palace, he is the emperor, and it is an offense for ordinary people to look at him directly.

Her hands were hanging down in her sleeves, trembling, but she couldn't see anything unusual on the outside, at least in Kangxi's eyes, she was still calm and composed.

Sure enough, it was a beautiful face, no wonder the prince became jealous and couldn't forget it.

Kangxi had already found out about Zhu Jiangxin's affairs. He felt that something was wrong when he was in the palace, but he was busy with the river affairs in the south of the Yangtze River and didn't want to think about these things.More importantly, Kangxi didn't want to know what his son was like.

Everyone has a love of beauty, but if it is someone else's wife, this matter is against ethics and morality.

And this kind of thing was actually raised by him alone and done by the prince who put the most effort into it.

Kangxi only looked at her, and slowly said: "The kindness I have shown him in nurturing him for decades, and the love between father and son, monarch and minister, can't match your face..."

"My wife... I dare not die..."

Listening to Kangxi's words, Gu Huaishu felt dazed and shocked.

How could she not know the meaning behind Kangxi's words?
He is a majestic emperor, even Gu Huaixiu's face can't match... How does this mean to let her go?
Gu Huaishu knew that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't know how it would get to the emperor. Maybe someone was plotting behind it, trying to make the prince more guilty.

Unfortunately, it was her life that went back this time.

When Kangxi said this, Gu Huaishu was almost certain to die, or...

"San Dezi, bring the dagger on the table."

Kangxi spoke lightly, only looking at Gu Huaixiu's face.

Gu Huaishu finally took a look at Kangxi, but immediately lowered her eyes again. She trembled, then kneeled stiffly on the ground again, not daring to move again.

In summer, the ground in this temple was so cold that her kneecaps hurt.

San Dezi couldn't understand what was going on now, so he just followed the emperor's words and took the dagger.

That was last year when Mulan was in autumn, the deer bone dagger was used for deboning. The handle was inlaid with beautiful gemstones, and it was indescribably rich and glamorous.

Gu Huaishou's fingers and nails were already deeply embedded in her palms. She wanted to speak, to defend herself, but she didn't know where to start.

Kangxi said: "Beauty is harmful to others, it is better to get rid of it."

Beauty is a disaster?

Do you want to go all out?
Gu Huaishu finally couldn't hold it back, and suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the People, and you can't tell right from wrong, right from wrong, right from wrong, right from wrong. Do you want your wife to suffer this wronged?!"

There was a bit of ruthlessness in the eyes, and the fear that had been suppressed since entering the palace suddenly turned into a monstrous anger.

After all, the royal family is always right in this land of wealth and honor.

No matter who the emperor is, no matter what his son looks like, even if he knows the prince's true nature, what happened now, he still blindly defends his shortcomings!

Just because the prince is the good son he has held in his hands for so many years, it was Suo Etu who led the prince badly, and it was the people around him who taught him badly. But the emperor came to take care of the prince's aftermath!
When Kangxi heard Gu Huaishu's sudden rebuttal, his whole face immediately turned down, and even San Dezi was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

How many people inside and out think that Gu Huaixiu is audacious?
But Gu Huaixiu didn't feel it herself, and she even laughed: "A woman's appearance is bestowed by her parents, and the son said that her body, hair and skin are given by her parents, and she dare not damage her. Beauty is also bestowed by her parents, and a courtier's parents give birth to a courtier's wife." So, the emperor’s parents gave birth to the emperor like this, how can the minister’s wife’s parents be guilty of giving birth to a minister’s wife, but the emperor’s parents are not guilty if they have the emperor?!”

crazy……

crazy……

San Dezi was already dumbfounded.

The phrase "body, hair, skin and skin receive parents" can be used in this way!
Mrs. Zhang Er, do you still want this head!

Kangxi frowned, and threw the teacup containing hot tea at her: "The rascal is full of fallacies!"

The tea bowl hit Gu Huaixiu's body, and the hot tea fell down the shoulder of her robe, and the lapis lazuli pendant hanging on her earlobe shook slightly, but was then splashed by hot water.

"despair……"

The tea bowl rolled down to the ground along Gu Huaishu's kneeling body, making a sound of bone rubbing.

Gu Huaishu remained unmoved, and looked directly at Kangxi with that extraordinary courage: "I was raised by my parents in my life, and my wife never had the love of her parents when she was young, but the prince has you who care more than ordinary princes. A mortal child, the prince is a noble man; the courtier's wife is a vulgar rat in the market, and the prince is the proud son of the prince. Any mistakes are the fault of the courtier's wife. The parents of the courtier's wife should not give birth to the face of the courtier's wife. All the beauty in the world Women who are like flowers are all guilty. Beauty is a disaster, if the emperor wants to slap the face of Hua Chenfu, he should slap the face of all the women in the world!"

She smiled, "Because whenever any beautiful person appears in front of the crown prince, he can't help it and can't control himself. But he was a wealthy man, so it's not his fault. Your majesty is right, beauty harms others, and my minister The woman is guilty."

After finishing speaking, she endured the pain of being burned on half of her body, and kowtowed.

Kangxi was already speechless.

Comparing the prince and her every word and every word, how about a "courier's wife" and "the prince" is nothing more than reprimanding the emperor for being unfair.

"Prince Tianhuang, if it weren't for you to cause trouble, why would he make such a big mistake? If this happened today, you will be doomed. No amount of unreasonable reasoning will help."

Kangxi is the emperor, the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he can't tolerate people being so presumptuous in front of him.

What's more, the ugliness of the royal family cannot be publicized, and a mere Zhang Gu family must not insult the face of the Tian family and the reputation of the royal family.

Gu Huaishu almost laughed hysterically.

If it is true that the Tian family is ruthless, Kangxi is paying attention to the prince, right?
It's a pity that his son will eventually disappoint him.

Gu Huaishu looked at the dagger that was placed on the ground by Eunuch De, and said: "The emperor can scratch the face of a courtier's wife, but he can't scratch the hearts of the people in the world. Today, he protects the prince without distinguishing right from wrong, but in the future, all the people will scold him." The boat capsized."

In ancient times, there was a law that the emperor could not kill the speaker, but Gu Huaishu was not the speaker.

She was just talking at the expense of her own life, and if she said one sentence less, she should naturally cherish it.

But some words can't bear it.

It is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans if these words are released, but Kangxi did not move after hearing this: "You say these words today, enough for me to exterminate your nine clans."

"Your majesty is one emperor through the ages, and a king forever. The husband and wife Jun Hengchen are the number one scholar and the emperor, and they are deeply favored by the emperor. Father-in-law Zhang Boss once worshiped as a scholar of Dongge University, served as the prime minister for a dynasty, and the elder brother also dedicated himself to the prince. The Zhang family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and the emperor will never kill him."

She kowtowed, but her eyes fell on the dagger.

The woman has a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, and she is married to the man she likes, and even now her husband and wife are honored, but because of a disgusting accident, she caused this catastrophe.

Gu Huaishu slightly closed his eyes, already accepting his fate.

Perhaps during the 44 years since Kangxi ascended the throne, he has seen countless people struggling under his feet, and leaving with the same or different regrets as Gu Huaixi...

So he is indifferent? , just looked at the person, said: "San Dezi, do it."

The blade of the dagger was as bright as snow, shaking Gu Huaixiu's face, she kowtowed again: "My wife thanked the emperor for not killing me."

San Dezi's hands trembled a little, and he couldn't move for a long time, "Wan, Long live, this... this..."

"Dog slave, if you can't do it yourself, then throw down the dagger and teach her to do it herself."

Kangxi closed his eyes, looking at the lines on the page...

Protecting the crown prince today without distinguishing right from wrong, but in the future all the people will scold and capsize the boat...

Prince... Gu San...

He is the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangshan Guozuo...

Gu Huaixiu had completely calmed down, the hot tea just now had turned cold, and half of her arms were cold.

She said: "Eunuch De, please give the dagger to my wife."

San Dezi shook his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Gu Huaishu buried her head in picking it up, and just when her fingers touched the handle of the deer bone, she burst into tears, but her face remained expressionless.

"Minister Zhang Tingyu, please see the emperor, long live the Emperor Wu!"

Suddenly a voice came from outside, right at the gate of the hall, Gu Huaisu's fingers shook, and the tears that had just stopped fell down, no matter how hard he could hold it back.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Huaishou who had touched the dagger, and said: "San Dezi, let Zhang Tingyu wait outside."

San Dezi went there hesitantly, and didn't know how to tell Zhang Tingyu when he got outside. He just looked at Zhang Tingyu who was kneeling on the steps, and said, "Long Live Lord told you to wait outside..."

In the hall, Kangxi suddenly asked Gu Huaishu: "If you were to be killed, or if you lost your face, to grant him a high official, rich salary, and eternal glory, would you be willing?"

"My wife..."

Gu Huaixiu suddenly stopped.

Kangxi thought that their husband and wife were deeply in love, and the next answer would definitely be yes, so he had already prepared the next speech, unexpectedly...

Gu San bent his lips and smiled, and said softly: "My wife is unwilling, unwilling."
