Chapter 214 Wise
Song Dazhuang had hot tea poured all over his face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, and just kowtowed.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
"I think you really deserve to die."
Chen Quan pointed at the crying Song Dazhuang and asked, "You said that everything was perfect from production to transportation, but how did I hear that your lanterns were put in by your concubine Zhou's maiden brother?
The craftsman changed once. Not to mention, on the way to the inner bridge, when transporting the lantern mountain, a servant carrying the lantern had a stomachache, so the lantern arrived more than a quarter of an hour late."
"Ah...this..." Song Dazhuang looked at Chen Quan blankly, completely unaware that his majesty knew something that he had not found out.
Seeing his brother acting like this today, Song Dashi also had a headache and could only cough lightly to remind him.
When Song Dazhuang heard his brother's cough, he suddenly woke up and kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise."
"You..." Looking at Song Dazhuang's red and swollen forehead, Chen Quan was angry and helpless, "Okay, do you want to knock your brain again?"
Song Dazhuang is a rough man. If you ask him to fight and kill the enemy, but if you ask him to use his brain, it will kill him.
Seeing His Majesty's gentle tone, Song Dazhuang couldn't help but kowtow a few more times before stopping: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I don't understand the twists and turns, so I know it's my fault this time."
Chen Quan asked: "Then do you know where you went wrong?"
Song Dazhuang was speechless: "Wrong..." I don't know what's wrong!
When he came in today, he kowtowed vigorously. It was his brother who taught him.
His brother told him to kowtow to His Majesty when he comes in and confess his guilt. No matter whether he is guilty or not, he should admit it first and then talk about it.
The question your Majesty is asking now is out of line for Song Dazhuang.
He only knows that his lamp mountain exploded, and why it exploded, and who harmed him, he has no idea!
Song Dashi took two steps on his knees, knelt side by side with his eldest brother, and said: "Your Majesty, eldest brother, his mistake is that he does not know the personnel and the management of the mansion is disordered. In my opinion, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion should be reorganized."
"Ah." Song Dazhuang turned to look at his brother and wanted to ask, are you still my brother? You actually asked His Majesty to punish me.
"Ah what? Did your brother say something wrong?" Chen Quan became angry when he saw Song Dazhuang's stupidity.
In the past, Song Dazhuang believed in loyalty and love. He led a group of brothers to occupy the mountains and become kings, killing the rich and helping the poor. He and Song Dazhuang had never known each other before, so he simply took Tang Qi and the two brothers from the Song family to swore sworn brothers.
Later, when he revolted in Huaicheng, the Song brothers helped him a lot.
It can be said that without the Song brothers and Tang Qi, there would be no current Chen family.
But when he arrived in the capital, Song Dazhuang, who was named Ningyuan Marquis, showed his shortcomings.
He is vulgar, sexist, and not very smart.
It would be fine if such a person only had money, but he is not only rich but also powerful, which means there may be countless such accidents in the future.
"That's right, that's right." Song Dazhuang hurriedly shook his head, "It was the minister who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, which made the family uneasy, and that's why..."
"Pfft..."
Queen Shen, who was sitting aside, couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud, "Ning Yuanhou, do you also know that you spoil your concubine and kill your wife?"
"Asshole." Chen Quan was amused by this sentence, "There are still people who shamelessly say that they doted on concubines and killed their wives? Since you know that doting on your concubines and killing your wives is the root of the disaster, why don't you correct it?"
Song Dazhuang hurriedly shouted with courage: "I will definitely change it. If I know I am wrong, I will change it when I get back."
As long as His Majesty can let him go this time, let alone change, and let him pamper his wife and kill his concubines, he will never frown.
Empress Shen couldn't bear to see Song Dazhuang like this: "Then you go back and change your ways, and sell all the dishonest ones in your house to me. Your wife has suffered so much in the village with you, and your children have all been killed." You gave birth to six children, how could you have the nerve to let her be bullied by your concubines? Especially Mrs. Zhou, haha... Mrs. Zhou..., just a concubine, she dared to call herself Mrs. Zhou, who would give it to her? Her face?"
Song Dazhuang nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right, I was blinded by lard. When I got back, I asked my wife to clean up those ungrateful people."
After coming out of the palace, Song Dazhuang raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the queen is here, otherwise, I may not be able to be kind today."
"Empress Shen attaches great importance to love and righteousness. She is thinking about the friendship in her last days." Song Dashi nodded, his eyes cold.
If Empress Shen valued love and righteousness, then Concubine Zhou was so hopeless that she couldn't even pull a country woman off her horse, which made all his efforts in vain.
"Yes, it is better to be the Queen than to Concubine Zhou." Song Dazhuang nodded repeatedly, "I must listen to the Queen and sell those stinky bitches when I get back."
"Brother, you are impulsive again." Song Dashi frowned in disapproval, "If you have no children, just sell them. If you have children, don't sell them. If you don't obey, you will be sent to the family temple."
"Yes, the second brother is right." Song Dazhuang thought of his old wife and beautiful concubine at home, and finally felt a little reluctant to let go, "Then you say Mrs. Zhou."
"What Mrs. Zhou? Haven't you suffered enough from her?" Song Dashi said angrily, "The title that was originally hereditary and irreplaceable can now only be passed down to a few generations, and has to be demoted from generation to generation. Do you think it's okay? If not? Wouldn't it be better for you to enjoy peace and quiet in Beijing after this incident happened? Now His Majesty asks you to guard the border, but do you know that the border is difficult?"
Song Dazhuang muttered: "Then what should I do? Just guard the border. There are not many people in the capital who like me anyway. I might as well go to the border to guard the country and the country for His Majesty. I think I have something to do."
Song Dashi looked at his eldest brother's expression and saw that he was not joking, so he felt a little relieved: "It's okay, I am in the middle of the capital, you are at the border, and you and I are watching and helping each other from afar, it is better than being trapped in the middle of the capital."
Seeing that Song Dashi was no longer angry, Song Dazhuang immediately beat the snake and put it on the stick: "Second brother, this time I have to guard the border, and it is up to you in the capital. There is also that child Yunqi, he is the heir apparent, I will not take him with me. Go to the border and help me take care of him more. Your sister-in-law is a rough person and doesn't understand anything. If it's really difficult, just ask your wife to help."
"The eldest brother is talking nonsense again." Song Dashi really couldn't do anything about his eldest brother, "Yun Qi is already married. You should let Yun Qi's wife take care of the affairs in the house. She is the wife of the prince, so she can also take care of the house. There's nothing wrong with it. Your wife was chosen by your mother-in-law for you at the beginning, and she's a daughter of the prime minister's house, so she's naturally a good one."
"What is the Prime Minister's Office? It's not the previous dynasty..."
"Brother, be careful." Song Dashi sighed heavily, "I've told you, your daughter-in-law has been chosen very well. If she hadn't been the empress, this daughter-in-law wouldn't have been able to take Yunqi's turn."
Song Dazhuang felt a little unreasonable: "I didn't say that Yunqi's wife was not good."
With the change of the new dynasty, Chen Quan began to grant marriages on a large scale in order to consolidate his position. The young ladies from the old ministers' families and the young ladies from the new dynasty began to get married.
If it were a few years ago, how could these high-minded young ladies fall in love with these reckless young men of the new dynasty.
But the old dynasty has died, and for the sake of their family, they can only accept this fate. It is better than the fate of their family being destroyed and being exiled.
