Chapter 198 Civil and Military Struggle(2/2)
Are you relying on your belly to swindle people?"
The palace people did not dare to accept these words and only said: "Princess Xuan must have some clever tricks."
Emperor Liang De asked again: "Where can I send it to the Queen Mother?"
The palace man shook his head: "I never heard of it."
Emperor Liang De nodded and smiled, saying: "What's going on here? How can he look like a junior? It's really spoiled by King Xuan."
That's what he said, but he didn't really mean it as a warning.
At this time, Lux took another step forward and sent a letter.
"This is also given to Your Majesty by Princess Xuan."
"Send it over." Emperor Liang De said.
Wu Shaojian took the letter with both hands and spread it respectfully in front of Emperor Liang De.
Emperor Liang De read it roughly and said helplessly: "This is a pen written by King Xuan, right? King Xuan is really... This Xingzhou official held a banquet to welcome King Xuan, but he only invited a few dancing girls, so she became jealous.
It's not right to just scold those officials. She just complained to me, and King Xuan actually wrote it for her."
"I think it's just a couple's affection." Wu Shaojian said with a smile.
When Liang Dedi heard these words, his face darkened for some reason, as if he was lost in memories.
Just when Wu Shaojian was panicking, Emperor Liang De said quietly: "It's really enviable."
The palace people were even more afraid to accept this.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to fall into silence.
The powerful man said again: "Your Majesty, this is offered by His Royal Highness King Xuan."
"Oh? King Xuan still has something to give me?" Emperor Liang De smiled again, "Bring it to me and take a look."
The box was opened in front of him, and inside was a set of clothes.
The clothes were not very breathable and felt a little thick and hard to the touch.
"Your Highness said it was a fire-huan cloth. I got it occasionally from the people, but I don't know whether it is true or not. But thinking of its famous name, I specially sent it to His Majesty as a gift." Lishi said.
Emperor Liang De couldn't put it down immediately: "Whether it's true or not, I love her very much. It's different now that I have a daughter-in-law. King Xuan now knows how to respect me more and more."
Wu Shaojian quickly flattered him: "King Xuan has always been filial, he just doesn't show his affection."
Emperor Liang De said with a smile: "Now you are showing off well."
"Then bring some more rewards to Xingzhou. King Xuan and Princess Xuan will each have their own rewards. Princess Xuan will give you more jewels and honors..." Emperor Liang De paused and said, "I will write a letter to them as well."
.”
Wu Shaojian responded and thought to himself, they are really far away, but this actually makes them feel closer.
When Emperor Liang De wrote the letter, he did not reprimand Xue Qingyin for complaining about any big matter. Instead, he told her that if she had anything she wanted to write down, no matter how big or small, just order someone to send it to the capital.
After finishing the letter, Emperor Liang De put away his pen and said: "Huo Huanbu will be sent back to King Xuan for the time being. He has gone to Yizhou, and I am afraid he will need such protective items even more."
"Your Majesty is so kind!"
"That's how it is to be a father." After Emperor Liang De said this, he remembered that the people around him were all eunuchs, so how could he have any descendants?
"Why don't Wu Shaojian adopt a godson and have a taste of what it's like to be a father?" Liang Dedi joked.
Wu Shaojian blushed and was really tempted.
But before Young Supervisor Wu could say anything, a young chamberlain came to report: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, along with the Princess and Concubine Qiao, are asking for an audience."
Emperor Liang De fiddled with the pen and ink in front of him and said: "Let them accompany the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has not stepped out of the palace for a long time, and she feels lonely."
"……yes."
Wu Shaojian asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, would you like to invite the fourth princess to accompany you to dinner?"
Liang Dedi suddenly felt bored and said: "She...is still a little behind Princess Xuan."
Wu Shaojian didn't know where this comment came from. He just lowered his head and said, "That's what your Majesty said."
"It is said that the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince will accompany me for dinner." Emperor Liang De sighed, "Only that innocent little boy makes people feel happy when they see him. If you want to recognize a godson, remember to choose one too.
Small. It’s better to raise them from an early age.”
Wu Shaojian suppressed his excitement and responded again: "Yes."
The reward that left the palace soon went to Xingzhou.
At this time, Xingzhou.
Qian Zixu stood alone in front of King Xuan, thinking that His Highness King Xuan was much more oppressive than his own father.
"What did the princess teach you?" King Xuan asked.
Qian Zixu smiled awkwardly: "Ask me to remember to say thank you when I meet He Songning in the future. Naturally, I am not ungrateful."
King Xuan: "..."
Qian Zixu: "That's it, that's it. Really." He paused and then said, "If He Songning is dissatisfied, just tell him... I've already said thank you, what else do you want."
"If He Songning calls me a wolf-hearted person, then he says... If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
King Xuan: "..."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and he could already imagine He Songning's expression at that time.
Where did you learn these words "Yin Yin"?
Fortunately... I have never used it on him. It's quite annoying.
The other side.
Wan Shirong and others temporarily lived in the same house.
It's just that Qian Zixu's house can be described as a house with four walls, so Wan Shirong and others didn't feel comfortable when they moved in.
They slept so hard that their bones ached all over their bodies.
At this time, we were sitting together and there were still plenty of dishes to eat.
"Although we are the subjects of the royal palace assigned by His Majesty to His Highness King Xuan, after all, we were in the fiefdom before, and His Highness was far away in the capital. Now this is the first time we meet... But we are in such an awkward situation. I am afraid that His Highness has already regarded us as...
That's useless trash." One person sighed heavily, looking a little ugly.
Wan Shirong suddenly asked: "Do you know how long His Highness has been staying in Xingzhou?"
"Why did you suddenly mention this?"
"If His Highness had arrived in Yizhou earlier, we wouldn't have been in such a mess. Who doesn't know that His Highness was the first-class general in the Liang Dynasty who used troops like a god?"
"This, this is true...then why did His Highness stay in Xingzhou?"
"Because of Princess Xuan." Wan Shirong said displeasedly.
"Ah...why does Princess Xuan want to stay in Xingzhou?"
"...for money."
"What?"
Wan Shirong hurriedly told the story about the money Qian Zixu owed the Queen Mother, and when he left Beijing, Xue Qingyin took the IOU and stayed in Xingzhou for the 800,000 taels.
"I heard that her mother was a merchant."
"How could His Majesty think of making her a royal concubine? Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"
"Maybe because of the poisoning, the soldiers in His Highness' hands almost mutinied."
Wan Shirong stroked his beard: "These Qiu Ba are so vulgar in their behavior... If a woman like this becomes a concubine, I'm afraid it will make people laugh at her behind her back."
"It can be seen that His Majesty's love for His Royal Highness King Xuan is far less than that of King Wei. Although the Xu family has collapsed, but look at the characters of King Wei's main concubines and side concubines? His Majesty's move to clean up the Xu family is not necessarily for the sake of King Wei.
Paving the way for his future. After all, without his relatives disrupting the government, his position can be secure." Others agreed.
"You have all experienced how Vice-General Fang interrogated us. From now on, the civil servants and generals, who has a higher status in front of His Highness, will depend on your ability and mine," Wan Shirong said.
"That's right! We are already weak. If we don't fight for it, I'm afraid my words will have no weight in the fiefdom and we will be bullied by those vulgar soldiers all day long."
"His Royal Highness is a military commander, and he has never been fond of writing or writing. However, his wife has a mother who was a merchant, and she used to be a spoiled mistress. Yizhou's civil affairs still depends on you and me."
"It is my duty to share your Highness's worries."
They looked at each other and laughed.
"Does Wan Fu have a plan in mind?"
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Wan." Several people asked respectfully one after another.
Wan Shirong said: "Yizhou was defeated, but now Xingzhou is also a fiefdom of His Highness. I think we should first contact the local officials in Xingzhou."
"Sima Xingzhou is quite famous. How about going to see him first?"
When Wan Shirong heard these words, he suddenly thought of Princess Xuan's words "Sima Du is very powerful", and felt a little weird in his heart.
