The most frightening thing is that not only his own political enemies trip him up, but the key point is that some people belonging to Qi Yuanhang's camp have also started to move around, making small moves in private.
At the beginning, some people who followed Qi Yuanhang only helped him because of the face of the Duke's Mansion. Now that Lin Qinshuang wants to reconcile with Qi Yuanhang, the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion is bound to become incompatible. , then they naturally have to express their views to the Duke's government.
The relationship between aristocratic families has become inseparable because of marriage, but it is also very fragile. These relationships are intricate, mixed with feelings and interests. If two families are married, because they will give birth to children with the blood of both parties, this relationship Nature will become more and more unbreakable.
Whether the blood relationship is important or not can be seen from the behavior of these people.
As a third-rank servant, Qi Nuo naturally has the qualifications to go to court. When he saw his father, who was originally a man of many officials, being bullied by these people, one can imagine Qi Nuo's mood. He tried to defend his father, But others speak softly, who can listen to what he said
What made Qi Nuo feel even more terrified was the Holy Majesty's attitude towards them.
Qi Yuanhang's ability to secure the position of prime minister is inseparable from the trust of the emperor. Qi Yuanhang followed him when the current emperor was still a prince. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Qi Yuanhang assisted the emperor wholeheartedly and did many practical things for him. , The emperor trusted Qi Yuanhang, so he was able to get to this position step by step.
Every time in the court before, if Qi Yuanhang quarreled with other officials, the emperor would more or less protect Qi Yuanhang, but today he seemed not to notice Qi Yuanhang's embarrassment, and even agreed to a few A note handed over by an official who did not deal with Qi Yuanhang.
This was something that had never happened before, not only Qi Yuanhang was affected, even Qi Nuo was so frightened that he panicked.
After the morning court was over, the officials retreated from the hall one by one. Qi Nuo actually had a lot to say to Qi Yuanhang, but he was still in the palace, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show it.
King Su walked past Qi Yuanhang with a smile on his face, raised his hand and patted Qi Yuanhang's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Qi, I didn't realize that you are so affectionate and righteous." You, for a person who has no blood relationship with you, you even want your first wife."
Hearing this, Qi Yuanhang's face changed suddenly. He suppressed his anger and said, "The prince was joking. The old minister just had some conflicts with his wife. What was spread before is just rumors."
He naturally knew about the rumors in the capital, but how could Qi Yuanhang admit that even though Lin Qinshuang still hasn't let go, he doesn't want to make up with him like before. Tell Lin Qinshuang about the pros and cons of the two reconciling and separating. Presumably at that time, Lin Qinshuang will come back from the Duke's Mansion for the sake of her and Qi Nuo's future.
Su Wang laughed loudly: "Mrs. Qi is a typical good wife and mother. Who in the whole Zhou Dynasty didn't know the name of the prime minister's wife who is virtuous and virtuous? She made such a big fuss this time, presumably because the prime minister will Madam Qi has offended her severely, otherwise, why would she stay in the Duke's mansion and refuse to come back?"
Su Wang has always been against Qi Yuanhang, and now it is just to avenge the previous revenge, but what he said is the truth, how can Qi Yuanhang turn against Su Wang.
Seeing that Qi Yuanhang, a hypocrite, was so angry that he was going to die, but still pretended to be fine, King Su felt in a good mood.
If it weren't for the emperor's trust in him, would Qi Yuanhang really think that he was firmly seated as the prime minister by virtue of his own strength
After that, King Su didn't say anything to Qi Yuanhang, but the sarcastic smile on his face made people feel uncomfortable in every way, but he didn't answer, as if he was too lazy to care about Qi Yuanhang, which was his attitude It made Qi Yuanhang, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.
Qi Yuanhang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he could hardly hold back his emotions, Qi Nuo watched his nose, nose and heart, and didn't dare to cheat.
I originally thought that I was omnipotent, and my father, who was like a fish in water in the court, still had such a helpless side
After finishing his day's work today, Qi Yuanhang did not go to the Duke's Mansion, but returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Qi Nuo.
"Zigu, you have also seen that if your mother doesn't come back, the situation as a father will become worse and worse. You have to tie the bell to untie the bell. Thinking about it, Zidan probably doesn't want to let his parents reconcile. Dan got it back."
All these things were caused by Qi Huan, and now Qi Yuanhang's situation has become more and more difficult, the top priority is to get through this difficulty first, as for other things, it is not too late to mention them later.
Hearing that Qi Yuanhang wanted him to go find Qi Wang, Qi Nuo was reluctant in every possible way. He stiffened his neck and said stiffly: "What is father going to do with him? All of these things now are what Qi Wang wants to see." , didn’t he choose to run away from home because of this moment? If we bowed our heads, wouldn’t it be as he wished? Are you bound by him?"
Seeing Qi Nuo who was arguing with him filled with righteous indignation, Qi Yuanhang just felt incredible, seeing that he was still chattering and pushing all the blame on Qi Huang, Qi Yuanhang couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and gave Qi Nuo a slap in the face. hand.
"You idiot, if you hadn't been smart enough to ask Mrs. Dingyuan Hou to help you, how could everything have become like this? You always say that Qi Wang is a scourge, and it was he who disrupted the family after he came back The house is restless, I think you are the scourge!"
People are like this, they always take chances until they do not cause too much harm, thinking that the person they hurt will forgive them, they never repent before, and they don't know how to repent until after they have committed a disaster.
Qi Nuo was directly slapped by this slap, he wanted to defend himself, but seeing his father's angry eyes, Qi Nuo was scared and didn't dare to speak nonsense.
He agreed to go to Qi Wang and come back to help persuade Lin Qinshuang.
Although they said they were in a predicament right now, it was actually not difficult to solve the predicament. A large part of the reason for their current state of affairs was that Lin Qinshuang's reconciliation with Li had gotten out. If you break it, you will be ready to move.
If Lin Qinshuang is persuaded to turn back, then they can solve this problem with a little more work.
The life of the Qi family father and son is not easy, and Qi Xun's life is also not easy.
Originally, Qin Shangshu's attitude had softened, and the attitude of those officials in the Imperial Academy who made things difficult for him and targeted him began to soften, and his work, which was frequently missed, was finally on the right track.
Now Qi Xun doesn't want to be promoted anymore, the only thing he is looking forward to now is to get through this half year quickly, and he can bring his family to the post next year.
After arriving in other places, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and his identity will not be criticized by so many people. However, the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. After a few days of good times, the situation suddenly turned negative.
First, the work that had gradually become easier began to have frequent problems. Chen Hanlin even directly transferred him to copy the books in the library.
You must know that even the officials of the Hanlin Academy are divided into several types, one is the ordinary Hanlin, and after three years, they will be released as officials, and the other is the Shujishi, who are also officials of the Hanlin Academy , Shu Jishi can enter the palace to accompany him, and if he can catch the emperor's eyes, after the one-year period expires, he can be directly promoted to the sixth department.
At the beginning, Qi Nuo was a good scholar who could walk in front of the imperial court, because he wrote good articles, which won the emperor's appreciation, and then he directly entered the household department as an official.
The previous Qi Xun was just an ordinary Hanlin. He actually had a very clear plan for his career. After a period of qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, he was sent out to be an official. After making political achievements, he returned to the capital again.
He had already planned his life, but who would have thought that everything would change in his last year of working in the Hanlin Academy
After his true identity was exposed, Qi Xun suffered countless ostracisms. He came to the Imperial Academy every day to go to work, as if he was tortured.
After all, life was easier, he thought he could finally survive until the beginning of next year and leave, but at this time they actually let him copy books
This kind of work doesn't have any technical content, you can just go to the street and grab a writer to do it, and these jobs were originally done by newcomers to the Imperial Academy, who would have thought that it would be their turn to do it in person now
But Qi Xun didn't dare to resist at all, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
Forbearance with a knife on his head, he forbears.
***
According to Qi Yuanhang's instructions, Qi Nuo sent a message to the princess mansion, wanting to meet Qi Wang and have a good talk with him.
However, Princess Qinghe was not willing to let Qi Wang see outsiders at all. She detained Qi Wang in the backyard and fulfilled most of his requests, but she refused to let him see outsiders.
But Princess Qinghe turned her head and sent someone to tell Qi Nuo that Qi Wang was too lazy to see him, and told him not to come again.
And in Qi Nuo's view, all of this is another accusation of Qi Huang's. He clearly knows that his parents are quarreling and awkward because of his affairs, but he still refuses to go back with the bridge. Are you willing to let it go
If his previous personality were changed, Qi Nuo would not come again after he couldn't see him once, but his father's life in the court became more and more difficult. As the eldest son, he naturally wanted to help his father share some burden, So even though he was humiliated outside the princess mansion, he still came to report every day to show his sincerity.
There are no secrets in the capital.
The fact that Qi Nuo stood outside the princess mansion and forced Qi Wang to come out to meet him soon reached Lin Qinshuang's ears.
"Ridiculous, what the hell is Qi Nuo doing!"
Qi Wang was taken away by Princess Qinghe. Although Princess Qinghe kept saying that she wanted to recruit Qi Wang as a son-in-law, strictly speaking, she imprisoned Qi Wang in the princess mansion in a disguised form, and refused to let other people see him. he.
Before I sent someone to pass the post, Princess Qinghe never agreed, and she said that she was cultivating a relationship with Qi Wang, and hoped that "irrelevant people" would not bother her.
Before Lin Qinshuang thinks of a solution, it's not good to bother too much.
But what did Qin Nuo do? He ran to block the outside of the princess mansion every day, and even made people shout for the princess to send his second brother out. Did he dislike Qi Huang's death not fast enough
How could a child who was so smart before become so stupid now
Perhaps, he wasn't stupid, but was too smart, that's why he used this method to force him, just like before he made a big detour and used Mrs. Ding Yuanhou to force Qi Yuanhang.
He is using the same method now, but this time he is using public opinion to promote something.
Lin Qinshuang, who found out her son's sinister intentions, finally lost all patience. She took her to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion with the letter of divorce that she wrote earlier, and wanted to get back the marriage certificate that had been filed in the yamen.
She was the one who worried too much before, but she won't anymore.
****
There are many things that Princess Qinghe didn't tell Qi Wang, so he didn't know that Qi Nuo had been coming to ask Princess Qinghe to 'return' him every day these days.
But even if he knew, Qi Wang wouldn't react too much, Qi Nuo is just an insignificant person to him, it is enough to know that he is hostile to him, as for the others, there is really no need to explore.
In fact, no matter which dynasty the imperial palace is, it gives people the same feeling. The high palace walls imprison this land, and the people who live here enjoy the greatest power and status in the world, but what they lose is the most precious freedom.
From the princess mansion to the palace, you need to take a carriage, but after entering the palace, you have to walk on two legs.
Although this is the place where Princess Qinghe grew up, she doesn't seem to like the palace. The two walked side by side all the way, but Princess Qinghe didn't say a word.
As the emperor's most beloved younger sister, Princess Qinghe took Qi Huang to the study where the emperor was, so to speak.
The emperor was in the study, and the eunuch reported Princess Qinghe's arrival, and not long after, the two were recruited in.
"Brother Huang, my sister has found a talent for you. If you think he is talented, can you give him an official position?"
Today's Holy Majesty is ten years older than Princess Qinghe, and when facing her imperial brother, Princess Qinghe's voice was a little more playful.
It can be seen from her getting along with the emperor that the relationship between the two is obviously excellent.
The emperor smiled and asked: "Jialing has found a talent again? What kind of talent is this time?"
After hearing this, Qi Duan's expression moved slightly, and his eyes flickered involuntarily.
It seems that Princess Qinghe often recommends talents to the emperor, and those talents should be reused, otherwise, the emperor would not say such words.
Facts have proved that Qi Huang's guess is not wrong.
Princess Qinghe did not hide her secrets, and submitted the papermaking technique she wrote down.
"Brother Huang, sister-in-law has already received the results. It is indeed as written above. The paper produced is as thin as rice paper, but it is more resilient than rice paper. More importantly, if this method is used to make paper, it will greatly improve the quality of the paper. paper output."
The improvement of papermaking technology, the increase in efficiency and finished products represent what Princess Qinghe knows, and the emperor naturally knows even more. He stroked the paper with the prescription written on it, and after confirming that it was more comfortable to the touch than rice paper, he moved his eyes to Qi Huang's. come on.
"Is he the talent you said?"
Princess Qinghe nodded: "Yes, Brother Huang, he has outstanding talents and a lot of wonderful ideas, and this papermaking technique is just one of them."
Princess Qinghe didn't just agree to Qi Huang to recommend him to the emperor. Although the papermaking skills are good, the weight is still not enough. Qi Wang put forward some other ideas, and said that as long as he has all the tools, he can make them. .
It is difficult to be an official if you only know one skill, but if you know more, the difficulty is no longer difficult.
The emperor stared at Qi Wang for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you the newly found second son of the prime minister's family?"
Qi Wang's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Qi Nuo's, it's not unusual for the emperor to recognize him.
To be recommended by Princess Qinghe, he must have some outstanding talent, otherwise, he would not be brought to him by Princess Qinghe.
But such a capable son Qi Yuanhang didn't help, but went to take care of that little Hanlin, he might not be old and confused.
