A Thousand Hills

Chapter 265

The monarchs and ministers discussed the prince's return to the imperial capital here, and Emperor Mu Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief when the Empress Dowager Hu sent someone to talk to her son.

This time, Empress Dowager Hu filed a complaint with her son. Empress Dowager Hu was so angry that she took her son's hand and complained with snot and tears, "Who else is in her eyes! You and Wenkang told me to treat her better , I heard that she was coming to the palace, so I ordered her to come and talk. I only said three words, and she got up and left after a disagreement. Does she still have Aijia in her eyes? Is there an emperor? Is there your sister? How do you treat her? Even if she has a little heart, the Ai family is still a great mother-in-law! Which granddaughter-in-law dares to do this in front of the great mother-in-law! Just don’t treat the Ai family as a great mother-in-law. Even if you see such an old lady on the street, you can't do this. Fortunately, Aijia doesn't have to look at her face to live, otherwise, Aijia can't live anymore." When Queen Mother Hu was in a hurry, she often said "I" and "Aijia "The disorder.

Emperor Mu Yuan inevitably asked the reason, and Queen Mother Hu said that the reason was all hers, which was basically what Queen Mother Hu cried, Xie Moru entered the palace to greet you, you know, because in the past, Queen Mother Hu loved to seek Xie Moru's bad luck, and the harem had a tacit understanding, Xie Moru You don't have to report to Queen Mother Hu to enter the palace, lest the two of you will pinch each other when they meet.Otherwise, whenever the clan orders women to enter the palace, they must first come to the Palace of Mercy.Xie Moru's procedure is actually two-phase cleansing, but Empress Dowager Hu, who somehow knew that Xie Moru had entered the palace, specially ordered Xie Moru to come to the Palace of Mercy to speak.

Empress Dowager Hu and Xie Moru's discord is basically nothing new.

Without saying a few words and a half, Xie Moru got up and left.

Empress Dowager Hu immediately asked her emperor's son to comment.

As everyone knows, her emperor's son is going to die of exhaustion!

After appeasing the old lady, Emperor Mu Yuan went to Concubine Xie's palace to find out what happened. The advantage of Concubine Xie is that she is a person who is very good at judging the situation, even now she wants to make things difficult for Xie Moru.However, Concubine Xie has always been more rational than emotional.Although she was lame for a while, she would not say Xie Moru in front of Emperor Mu Yuan.What's more, Emperor Mu Yuan came to her instead of going to Concubine Zhao's palace, wouldn't that explain the problem?

Concubine Xie first brought a cup of tea and served it, Fang said in detail, "The concubine just asked someone to go down to investigate, isn't this a matter of their sisters-in-law and aunts raising money, the concubine heard about it from the third daughter-in-law In the beginning, it was all about it. She set up some refreshments in the mansion and invited the big guys to discuss it. It turned out that the children were kind, and I don’t know who was talking too much, so the empress dowager misunderstood. The empress dowager also felt sorry for the fifth prince and wanted to Seeing the five princes working hard outside, the empress dowager mistakenly thought that Mo Ru was having fun while in the mansion, and said that Mo Ru was not very virtuous. Mo Ru has a straight temper, so it can be said that he was on two missions. Sister Zhao and I hurriedly explained to the empress dowager I am afraid that she will be frank and not pleasant to speak, so I sent her out of the palace first." Xie Guifei seemed to have no idea about the fact that Empress Dowager Hu complained to Emperor Mu Yuan with snot and tears.

Emperor Mu Yuan just said, "It's good to clean up the harem, especially those with long tongues, all of them will be cut off!"

Concubine Xie Guifei heard that Emperor Mu Yuan was dissatisfied with the harem, so she hurriedly got up and saluted, and replied, "Yes." She sighed in her heart that Xie Moru was inconvenient, if she was gentle, even if she was misunderstood by Empress Dowager Hu, it would be good to explain clearly up.Xie Moru stared at him, as if he wanted to eat people, the two concubines, Zhao and Xie, were afraid that Xie Moru would have an attack in the Palace of Mercy, so they had to coax her out quickly.

And Empress Dowager Hu, as expected of the surname Hu, has been confused all her life. Fortunately, people are blessed, and they have a high status. People in the world can only flatter and flatter.When he met Xie Moru in his later years, he really met his nemesis.

Knowing that it was Princess Yongfu who whispered the words in Queen Mother Hu's ears, Concubine Xie and Concubine Zhao couldn't say anything more, so they had to start to clean up the palace ban. Concubine Xie specially said back when Mrs. Advise Mo Ru, her temperament is too strong. After all, the Empress Dowager is an elder, and at this age, even if she misunderstood for a while, it is not good to be too serious. As the old saying goes, if you suffer a loss, you will take advantage of it."

Now the fifth prince's situation is just right, Mrs. Xie thought about it, after all, Empress Dowager Hu is her own mother, and she is the most filial.Xie Moru has always been indifferent to the Palace of Mercy, which is a plus in the five princes' comprehensive evaluation.So, after coming out of the imperial concubine's daughter's palace, Mrs. Xie went to the Prince of Fujian's mansion the next day, and persuaded Xie Moru for a while.Empress Dowager Hu or something, this age, not for anyone else, but for the fifth prince, just bear it if you can.Be patient for a while, there will be great wealth waiting for you in the future.

Of course, Mrs. Xie was euphemistic, but that's the main idea.

Xie Moru didn't say anything after hearing this, but said, "Second Uncle has been released all the time, and the children are rarely seen. I heard that Second Uncle has a little girl, but I haven't seen her yet. These years, Second Uncle has been away from his grandparents. For those around me, according to me, the second uncle is loyal to the country, there is no other way, it would be better to bring back the younger brothers and sisters. When the children grow up, they want to study and go to school, the conditions here in the imperial capital are better than those in Xining."

These words hit Mrs. Xie's heart, Mrs. Xie said, "I also discussed it with your grandfather. When the weather is warmer, someone will pick him up." Last year, Xining Pass was not peaceful, but Mrs. Xie was very scared.

Xie Moru leaned on the armrest of the soft couch, and said, "Just prepare a few more sturdy and warm vehicles on the road. The weather is hot and cold, and with a few loyal servants, the children will not be frozen anymore."

I have said everything that should be said. Because of Xie Moru's temperament, Mrs. Xie didn't want to persuade her. She hurried home to pick up the grandchildren before lunch. She is not stupid. Xie Moru suddenly mentioned the matter of picking up the children Come on, isn't it that Xining is still not safe?

The son has a job and cannot leave his job without authorization, so Mrs. Xie is very worried about her grandchildren.

After sending Mrs. Xie away, Da Lang came to talk to his concubine alone at night, so Xie Moru sent the maid away, and Da Lang then truthfully said, "Because I didn't see the Su family's annual ceremony during the New Year, my mother was very worried. My son asked me to go and have a look. I had no time to spare, so I sent Xiao Zhuzi there today. Xiao Zhuzi said that the gate of the Su family was locked, and there was a layer of dust on the door. They would not be there for a long time, and they said it was called the government. I took it. I don’t know the pros and cons of it, so I don’t dare to ask people to inquire again, I want to ask my concubine for advice.” Xie Moru is very strict in running the family, and the city has not been peaceful since last year. Violating Xie Moru's taboo, Su's family didn't come to greet her for a long time, Su Fangfei only thought it was because of Xie Moru's displeasure, she had done it before, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to stay in her courtyard all the time stuffy.However, until the end of the new year, the mother's family didn't see the annual ceremony, so Concubine Su knew that something was wrong.She is a woman, and even if she has maids by her side, she can't go out casually. Even if she goes out, a little maid has nowhere to ask.So, Concubine Su asked her son to go over and have a look.As soon as Dalang left, there was no one in the Su family. Dalang was close to his biological mother, but he had a good relationship with his aunt, and he was taught by Xie Moru all the time, and because of his elder brother, he was always upright and mature. Don't use any small tricks, just come to discuss with the aunt directly.

Xie Moru knew about Su's family affairs, and Xie Moru was also very satisfied that Da Lang didn't inquire about it himself, but discussed it with himself first.It is normal for children to have their own ideas and secrets when they grow up.But the Su family obviously suffered a lawsuit. If Da Lang went to inquire without knowing the seriousness, he would be pretending to be smart.Xie Moru taught the children that he would rather the children be stupid than be clever.

After Da Lang came, she told Da Lang about the connection of the Su family, "At the beginning, your father secretly went to the south of the Yangtze River. It was related to your father's safety. We kept everything from inside and outside the house. Suddenly One day, Mrs. Su came over and asked your mother to come to our courtyard to test while I was not in the mansion, to see if your father was in the mansion. Later, it was found out that Mrs. Su would come, it was your mother's cousin named Su Shun. Brother's somber, this Su Shun is a Jingjiang spy. Last year, the emperor's capital was under martial law. You also know about the rebellion in our mansion. At that time, the palace, the prince's mansion, the princess' mansion, and many dignitaries' mansions There was a rebellion, and Yong Yihou even lost his life because of it. These rebels will rise up on that day, as if they have agreed, because they have a set of communication codes. These communication codes, at the beginning It was tortured from Su Shun's mouth. Your mother is from our house, I can guarantee her innocence. If your father is not here, I will not cause any trouble to her. But whether the Su family has anything to do with it here, I will I don’t know. You don’t need to worry about this matter. Fortunately, the rebellion didn’t happen, but if it happens, not to mention the lives of our entire family, the country will be ruined.”

Da Lang's face turned pale when he heard that, Xie Moru patted him on the back, his voice slowed down, but with a hint of admonishment, "People in high positions have never been tricked by others. Remember. People have seven emotions and six desires, and some things can be selfish, but loyalty is the only thing that can never be selfish! If loyalty is involved, then what is plotting is not just wealth and wealth, but property and life!"

At this point, the intercession is avoided.

What's more, as Da Lang is getting older, he also knows what to ask for mercy and what not to ask for.Just like what my aunt said, if the rebellion succeeds and overthrows the country, can he have him?
Da Lang felt sad for the first time, why did he end up with such a foreign family?

Da Lang doesn't really care whether his family is rich or not. He is the grandson of the emperor himself, so he doesn't lack wealth or anything.

Da Lang opened his mouth and looked at his aunt, but he couldn't say a word.

Xie Moru said, "Go and see your mother, she thinks she is thinking about it."

Da Lang was depressed, "Mother is also very soft-hearted, she hears that the wind is rain, and she will take it seriously when he is teased." In fact, Da Lang does not have a deep affection for the Su family, that is, when he was not in school, he met his grandmother twice a month. Back, when he went to school, the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school was not his rest day, so he didn't see it normally.He saw a lot when he was young, but at that time he was young and didn't know much, and when he grew up, he went to the clan with his parents, so he didn't see the Su family much.On the contrary, after Dalang returned to the imperial capital, the Su family wanted to give him his uncle's cousin as a companion, but he himself had a companion brought back from Fujian, so this matter failed in the end.When this incident happened again, involving rebels... Da Lang was more worried about his father, so he quickly asked, "Mother and concubine, will this have any impact on my father?" When he went out to fight, his natal family came here as a secret agent to poach the corner to find out the news... Da Lang was really mad!

"It doesn't matter now, but the future will be the subject of talk." Xie Moru said, "Don't worry too much, I just tell you the pros and cons of this matter. Your father went south, so loyal to the court, there is something to talk about, he did it himself Righteousness, nature is immune to all evil. Please persuade your mother to calm down. Your father doesn't know about this, but when he comes back, such things cannot be hidden. Don't make him come back and get angry. "

Da Lang is only grateful for his aunt's words to this point.

Dalang told his mother about Su's family affairs in the past, but the side concubine Su just didn't believe it, and asked Dalang to go out to inquire again, and asked Dalang to entrust the relationship, so as not to make Su's father and Su's mother suffer in prison.Da Lang was dizzy with anger, and said, "If this matter is not a sure thing, how can I come to tell my mother! Other things can go away from favors and relationships, and things that are harmful to the country, how can I intercede? Mother think about it, if It really makes the rebels make things happen, and they have to say whether the son is still there or not! The mother is the father's side concubine. These years, she has lived a peaceful life. The mansion does not know about this matter. If people know, how will the mother gain a foothold? Grandma If he is innocent, no one can wrong the Su family. If the Su family has something to do with the rebels, did the Su family ever think about my mother and me? My mother entered the Mu family, and my surname is Mu! It belongs to the Mu family! Whether the father is in the mansion or not, the mother concubine decides everything, even if the mother hears something, she should make it clear in private with the concubine mother, how to go secretly and do this sneaky way!"

Concubine Su's liver and intestines have been broken, and her liver and gallbladder are completely torn.A heartbroken heart is worried about her mother's family, a broken heart is worried about herself, and Concubine Su is full of pain and can't express it.At the beginning, when she went to try it out, wasn't it also for the sake of her son's future?
It's just that she dared to think about this idea, but she dared not say it anymore!

Concubine Su's various emotions are hard to explain, and seeing that her son doesn't understand her difficulties at all, she can only cover her face and cry, "Why would the princess discuss the affairs of the house with me, if I tell you clearly, I'm afraid the princess will offend me for too many things."

This is so stupid... Da Lang was dizzy and said, "Mother concubine specially told me to come here so that I can persuade mother. What are you talking about, mother? Even if you rarely go out, mother, you should know what's going on outside. Uncle's house What about my cousin Tong, and what about me? Although I was not born to my concubine, how could my concubine treat me badly? Could it be that, just because my concubine is a aunt, should this be taken for granted? Mother doesn't look at it Others, even if they look at me, should also be grateful to the concubine mother."

Concubine Su fell ill immediately.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicine in the Prince of Fujian's mansion. If you are not comfortable, you can ask for medicine from the doctor.

Da Lang was angry with his mother for several days and felt uncomfortable. However, as he got older, he was not a person like Concubine Su who was always sick.And after this incident, Da Lang paid more attention to his words and deeds, Xie Moru saw that he was steady, so he planned to move Da Lang, Erlang and Saburo to the front yard to live in, and Su side concubine was ill, Xie Moru would not delay because of her .Dalang and the others had a new courtyard, and because Concubine Su was ill, Xie Moru simply moved Wulang out of Concubine Su's courtyard.

The two sons were suddenly gone, and if the one who was mentally weak was to be left alone, he would die of illness. Concubine Su was different. Don't look at her love and illness from time to time on weekdays. Suddenly the two sons called Xie Moru to move away. However, she was struggling and getting better gradually.

Fortunately, Concubine Su also figured it out during her illness, she was helpless at her natal family, and she was more or less implicated in her natal family's affairs, and when she recovered from her illness, she went to Wutong Courtyard to confess her guilt and regret.Xie Moru didn't pay much attention to her, but it was Concubine Su who tactfully invited the Bodhisattva to the house, and since then began to eat fast and chant Buddha.Concubine Su rested her mind, and the inner courtyard of the mansion was immediately much cleaner.

Yu Xu's two side concubines more or less got a glimpse of some inside information, but how dare they speak out here, let alone throw stones at Concubine Su, even they themselves are more cautious in their words and deeds, and they are even more cautious towards their natal family. Restraint, don't let the natal family hold back.

In the middle of March, the prince was still in court.

Compared with the grandeur of the prince's ostentatious tour of the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor, now that the prince has returned, he is quite disheartened.It wasn't that the imperial court deliberately neglected the prince, nor was it the prince's negligence in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that now that half of the south of the Yangtze River has fallen, and the country has not been restored for a day, Emperor Mu Yuan is not in the mood to make a fuss about ostentation.

Fortunately, with the return of the crown prince, the fifth prince and Marquis Yongan delivered good news. Of course, they did not deliver the same thing.The Marquis of Yong'an came here to meet the prince safely from Shaanxi, but when he encountered the Jing'an army who had chased the prince, he beheaded more than [-] people, without any entanglement, and ordered his second son Li Yu to escort the prince back to the court.This is the result of Yong'an Hou counting and clearing the battle, and Fang has folded it to play to the court.

The victory of the fifth prince is another matter. When the Huguang army went to rob the prince, a peasant uprising broke out in Jiangxi, and the fifth prince took the opportunity to regain the land of Jiangxi.
The two victory reports were sent to the imperial capital one after the other. Emperor Mu Yuan was overjoyed and said straightly, "The King of Fujian and Yong'an have not failed my expectations!"

Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that there was hope for the recovery of the country!

So, flattery is like a tide.

In contrast, the East Palace, which had always been beautiful and prosperous in the past, suddenly became deserted.
