The pain of others can best help him find a sense of balance. This gave him a sense of comfort and suddenly shouted: "Feng Yi..."
Feng Yi heard the sound and came in, trembling: "What are the officials' orders?"
Zhao Deji sat up from the dragon bed and said listlessly, "Send me the memorials from all the generals."
"The official dragon's body has not recovered yet, please take care of it first."
He was furious: "Bring it if I tell you to, brave slave, how dare you disobey me?"
Feng Yi didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly went to get the memorial and presented it to the court. After reading a few copies, they were just repeating the same old story, so Zhao Deji threw it away and lay down.
On the second day, he suddenly made a sudden effort and returned to the morning court.
When the ministers of civil and military affairs saw that His Majesty had finally stood up from the shadow of the loss of his son, they naturally praised him one by one and said things like "take care of the dragon's body". After hearing the performance, Zhao Deji couldn't help but become concerned about the invasion of the Jin soldiers that he was worried about every day. Han Zhongliang, Liu Guang, Zhang Jun, etc. all had memorials. He glanced at them and found only a few words from Yue Pengju.
After the early court, he left Prime Minister Zhang Jun alone to play alone.
Zhang Jun had been enthusiastically advocating the Northern Expedition these days, but when he suddenly encountered the death of the young prince, he naturally did not mention it for the time being as he tried to figure out the holy will.
He only said: "The little prince is smart and clever, but it is a pity that he reached the immortal realm early. Your Majesty is in the prime of his life and will surely have another dragon son."
This statement made Zhao Deji feel slightly pleased. He was in his thirties, and he still had great confidence in his ability to have children, and was not willing to adopt a son from the clan. When he heard what Zhang Jun said, he cried bitterly and said: "I have been with you all these years. The son depends on each other for life, and the love between father and son is deep. It is a pity that my son left, and I am really left alone with no relatives. I dreamed of my mother last night, and thought of my dearest relatives in this world, who were suffering in a foreign country, and I felt deeply guilty... "
Zhang Jun originally wanted to take the opportunity to mention the Northern Expedition, but at this time the official mentioned his mother's matter first, and said it in such a pitiful way. The captives are suffering. In order to fulfill their filial piety, even if they are humble and courteous, they must make peace with the captives and welcome back their mother... "
Filial piety is a great righteousness in human relations. Zhang Jun could not refute it at all. He could only say: "Your Majesty's filial piety moves heaven, and I will do my best."
At this time, Zhao Deji was determined to welcome his mother back, so he took the opportunity to say: "There is now a vacancy in the cabinet, has Aiqing thought of a good candidate?"
Qin Hui visited Zhang Jun's mansion many times in the past few days. He and Zhang Jun were both Jinshi in the past, and he maintained a certain degree of neither humbleness nor arrogance in front of Zhang Jun, which made him favor him very much. After Zhang Jun's victory as governor of Dongting and the annihilation of Yang Mo, When he was full of ambition, what he needed most was not an assistant who was always against him, but Qin Hui's obedience and his "integrity" in his early years made him completely reassured, and he immediately said: "I think Qin Hui is the right candidate."
If we want to truly negotiate peace, Qin Hui will be the best candidate in the court. This time, Zhao Deji did not think about it anymore and immediately made his decision: "That's the case, let's call Qin Hui in."
"I obey the decree."
Zhao Deji asked again: "How are the four generals?"
After all, Zhang Jun was still in charge of the battle, so he said: "The captives are cunning and cunning. Even if we are to welcome the Queen Mother back, we must be fully prepared."
Zhao Deji naturally understood this. After he returned from escaping at sea, he hid a deep fear of the Jin soldiers, especially Jin Wushu, and did not dare to fight with them. However, without a certain guarantee of victory, he would not fight against the Jin soldiers. As a bargaining chip for peace negotiations, at this time, a few decent victories are needed to increase one's negotiating capital.
"From Aiqing's perspective, how do the four generals control them?"
"In my opinion, Zhang Jun and Liu Guang are both mediocre generals. But Han Zhongliang dares to fight. Only Yue Peng can raise birds of prey, and be civilized and military. Now the captives are looking at him with eager eyes, especially in the two rivers..."
Zhao Deji has also developed a dependence on Yue Pengju over the years. Especially during the war, Yue Pengju had to provide his horse. When he heard this, he said: "It is urgent to order Yue Pengju to garrison Xiangyang."
"But Yue Pengju's eye disease has not healed."
"He has been resting for a few days, and his eye disease should be gone."
"yes."
On this day, Wang Junhua went home early.
She arrived unexpectedly and arrived at Qin Hui's study. She heard the teasing inside and shouted: "Damn old man!" Sure enough, a maid came out in a panic.
Wang Junhua raised his hand and slapped him, and the maid covered her face and ran away. She rushed in and grabbed Qin Hui's beard: "How dare you cheat?"
"Madam, I don't dare, I don't dare. I don't dare."
Wang Junhua resentfully let go of his beard. This kind of drama happened from time to time. She sneered, and she was clearly aware of her husband's frivolous nature. She was not annoyed and said with a smile: "You still don't thank me for helping you." Running around?”
Qin Hui was very concerned about his comeback and asked his wife to go to the medical officer Wang Jixian's home every day to inquire. Because Wang Jixian was in and out of the palace every day and was familiar with the eunuchs, the news was first-hand. When he saw his wife returning from Wang Jixian's home, he was overjoyed and immediately realized Your chance has come.
Wang Junhua took another look and said, "Old man, your chance has come."
Qin Hui was surprised and happy when he heard the news. He stood up and laughed loudly: "Madam, just wait until you become the wife of the prime minister."
"Old man, you just joined the cabinet, what do you want to be?"
"Madam, I don't know. I have been dealing with Zhang Jun a few days ago, and I have completely figured out this guy's temperament. Zhang Jun is a man of great ambition and talent, and he is ambitious and wants to lead the Northern Expedition. The official family does not like the warring faction the most. His position as prime minister and assistant will not last long, and as long as he joins the cabinet, he will have a chance to replace him!"
Wang Junhua was overjoyed and tugged on his beard again: "Hahaha, I can be the prime minister's wife unexpectedly, so good! Moreover, when the time comes, we will be able to be more loyal to the fourth prince..."
Qin Hui was deeply afraid and disgusted with the fourth prince, so naturally he was not as "loyal" as his wife, but he did not dare to show it at all. He only asked: "There has been no news from the fourth prince for a long time."
Wang Junhua said bitterly: "It's all my fault that bitch Hua Rong."
The last time she failed to assassinate Hua Rong, she was caught and beaten by Yue Pengju's soldiers. She immediately said: "Old man, if you don't agree, you will definitely do everything possible to kill Yue Pengju and his wife to avenge her."
Qin Hui's hatred for Yue Pengju was not inferior to that of his wife, and he also said: "I will try my best to kill these two people in the future to avenge my wife."
Qin Hui came back soon. On the second day after he took office in the cabinet, Wang Junhua was also summoned to the palace.
She and Wu Jinnu waited for a while, then excused themselves and were led by the clever little eunuch to Zhao Deji's Nuan Pavilion.
Since Qin Hui's illness subsided, Zhao Deji has not summoned Wang Junhua again and has not seen her for several months. However, he saw that although she was wearing heavy makeup, she had lost the traces of time and was already a mature woman. He had no interest in "favoring" her at all, so he just Lamented: "I am heartbroken after losing my beloved son."
Wang Junhua was well-behaved and exquisite. He immediately fell to the ground and cried, kneeling on the ground: "I am also an unlucky person..."
She had a purpose in saying this. She knew that Zhao Deji summoned her at this time just because she and her husband had "sympathized with each other." Qin Hui had an affair with a concubine in his early years. The concubine gave birth to a son and remarried another person. The son was named Lin Yifei. .Qin Hui once had the idea of recovering his parents and children. Wang Junhua was very angry about this, so Qin Hui had to give up.
Zhao Deji knew that he and his wife only had one adopted son, Qin Xi, but at this time he wished that all the couples in the world would die, so he said: "Qin Hui is lucky enough to have an illegitimate son..."
Wang Junhua shook his head: "I don't dare to be ignorant. I once secretly visited Lin Yifei. This guy has no resemblance to the old ghost Qin Hui. His face and facial features are similar to that bitch and good man named Lin. Lin Yifei is definitely not Qin Hui." His biological son, he should be the son of the Lin family. Over the years, Qin Hui has been fooling around with many maids and servants in the family. The slave family noticed that no one was pregnant and gave birth to a boy and a girl. The old ghost himself was infertile. He lied about having an illegitimate child, but actually he wanted to Concealing shame…”
What she said was extremely rude, but she correctly guessed what Zhao Deji was thinking. Sure enough, Zhao Deji did not blame her for being rude at all, and only said, "Qin Hui has the same fate as me. There is nothing we can do about it..." but she was extremely secretly happy in her heart. , it turns out that Qin Hui is also a silver pewter spear head. Therefore, he has an unspeakable affection for Qin Hui in his heart. Who is Wang Junhua? Seeing his expression, he immediately understood his husband's future status, and he should go smoothly. , then he knelt down delicately and retreated.
It wasn't until he walked out of the palace that Wang Junhua got on his carriage and chuckled softly in the carriage: "In this Song Dynasty, the emperor is the emperor and the prime minister is the emperor. If the fourth prince doesn't win the world, what will happen to him?" Eyeless!”
Tianwei and others soon learned of the news of Qin Hui's reinstatement. On this day, she went to the Buddhist hall to see the Queen Mother. After chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha, the two sat down in the inner room and drank plain tea around the stove.
She whispered: "Mother, Ninth Brother has decided to make peace with the captives and welcome back Concubine Wei Xian."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes. She was getting more and more depressed these days. Like all the old people who were dying, they were counting the days of the sun. She sighed softly and looked at her niece with some pity, knowing all her worries. As long as Concubine Wei Xian comes back, How should she deal with herself? But, as a princess, where can she go
Tianwei was even more worried. Not only that, once Qin Hui gained power, how could Wang Junhua forgive herself
Concubine Wei Xian and Wang Junhua, if I am caught between these two women, how can I still have a stable life in this life
It’s already the middle of winter. This year’s winter is mild in the south, and there has never been a single snowfall.
There was sunshine for several days in a row. Yue Pengju followed the doctor's advice and took his wife out for a walk every day. Hua Rong stopped practicing vigorously after learning that she was pregnant, but in order to maintain enough exercise, Yue Pengju walked with her Or do some simple breathing and internal exercises. In this way, after the initial morning sickness, Hua Rong can eat and sleep, feel better every day, and his body is healthier than before.
Hua Rong was tired from walking, so Yue Pengju took out the soft cushion he brought and spread it on the big stone. The two sat down, and he took out some snacks. Hua Rong ate a few pieces of sour plum, looked at the basket next to her husband, and made a puff. He laughed and said, "Pengju, you are about to become my follower. You have to carry a lot of things when traveling these days. It's so hard."
Yue Pengju blinked his eyes, held her in his arms, touched her already swollen belly, and whispered softly like a twenty-four filial husband: "Sister Seventeen, as the saying goes, pregnancy in ten months is extremely hard. I can't share the burden for you, take care of it. Why don't you bother me?"
"Hehe, since you worked so hard until the child was born, I will ask him to call him 'father' first, and then mother."
"Okay. Haha..."
The two were laughing and joking when they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Yue Pengju turned around and saw that it was his own soldier Ma Chaoben. He said loudly: "Mr. Yue, the imperial court has sent someone here..."
The smile on Hua Rong's face faded slightly, and Yue Pengju said in a deep voice, "I understand." After Ma Chao stepped back, he helped his wife up and sighed secretly. Presumably, the imperial court has summoned her. The sun and moon in the mountains are not at peace after all.
When he was about to comfort his wife, his palms felt warm. It was his wife who grabbed his hand and smiled sweetly: "Pengju, it's okay. Let's take a look first and then talk."
