Brother Hui was brought home, but Zaozuo left him aside.
Lying in a chair for a long time, Brother Hui was too thirsty: "Water..."
After calling for a long time, no one answered, Brother Xie yelled with anger: "Water, I want to drink water..."
Unfortunately, no matter what he called, no one answered. I was really thirsty, so Brother Hui could only get up with difficulty looking for water to drink. The water didn't find it, but found a bowl of rice porridge in the hall where people could be seen.
At this time, Brother Hui was so thirsty that smoke was almost coming out of his throat, so he didn't care whether he was dirty or not.
After eating a bowl of white rice porridge, Brother Xie felt that he had come alive. After putting down the bowl for a while, the jujube came in.
Brother Hui was a little afraid of dates, so he called out timidly: "Auntie..."
Zaozao glanced at the clean, sweet white porcelain bowl, and asked blankly: "Why? Isn't it dirty?" She even disliked it because of the dung in the field. If she hadn't seen it in person, she said. I can't believe it.
Brother Hui, how dare to look directly at Zaozao, hurrying to lower his head.
Zaozao said: "Do you know that your great-grandfather ate worms raw to survive. I fell into the bottom of the cliff and even ate scorpions in order to survive." of. Because if you don't eat, it means death.
Brother Hui was so scared that he forgot to throw up.
Zaozao didn't want to talk nonsense with Brother Hui, and said with a cold face: "If you dare to stop eating, I will starve you for three days and three nights, and then let you eat mice and scorpions raw." It wasn't to scare Brother Yeong, it was really planning to do so.
Brother Hui was so scared that his face turned pale. The white rice porridge delivered in the next few days was all drunk, and Brother Hui didn't dare to waste a little bit.
After drinking white rice porridge for two or three days, when Brother Hui came home, he saw Han Jingjing and shouted: "Mother, I want to eat meat." He almost vomited every day after eating rice porridge.
Han Jingjing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the kitchen to cook for him.
As soon as the dishes were served, Brother Hui took the chopsticks and ate them. The gorge is like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
Han Jingjing patted him on the back while saying, "Slow down, slow down, and choke carefully."
For this, Qiyou specially ordered a table of noodles at Fuyun Restaurant for jujubes to eat.
Zaozao didn't refuse. When drinking, she smelled the wine and asked, "I'm afraid this wine has a lot of vintage!" Zaozao especially likes to drink, but when she was in Tongcheng, she didn't drink as a city guard. But after returning to the capital, there was no such concern. She would always have a drink when she returned home.
Qiyou happily took a picture of the wine altar and said, "This is a century-old daughter red, so I only have two altars." Now, to thank Zaozao, she has contributed an altar.
After taking a sip, Zaozao showed a look of intoxication: "It's been a long time since I drank such a good wine. The capital is still good, and everything is not lacking." In Tongcheng, everything is lacking.
In fact, as a jujube, do you want to eat anything? It's just that she is used to being frugal, and she is unwilling to spend more money here. She would rather save this money to do other things.
Qi Youle said in a low voice, "Sister, let me tell you, the best wine in Beijing is in Baihuayuan."
This is not a false statement, because Yun Qing likes to drink, and Yuxi collected a lot of good wines back then. These wines are now hidden in the wine cellar of Baihuayuan.
Zaozao gave Qiyou a white look, and said, "I don't dare to make the idea of these wines, so that Dad knows that I still don't work hard with me." Even if he can't drink, Yun Qing will never give it to others.
Qiyou picked up the wine and said to Zaozao, "Sister, thank you very much for the matter of Brother Xie."
Speaking of Brother Hui’s affairs, Zaozao came to the fire: “I’ve lived such a long time, and this is the first time I heard that someone thinks that the food is dirty. This person is still my grand-nephew. They say that loving mothers are more defeated, you kind grandfather. It’s the same to harm children and grandchildren.”
Qiyou pinched his nose and dared not say anything.
Zaozao has the same worries as Yun Qing: "If the next generation is the same as Brother Xie, then the father and mother have worked so hard to beat the country in danger."
Qiyou felt that this was a bit serious: "Eldest sister, Brother Xie is not the emperor's grandson, so it doesn't hurt to pay attention to something."
"But do you see that the fourth generation is particularly outstanding? Even Hongbin..." At this point, Zaozao did not continue. As the crown prince of a country, you must not only be smart, but you must also make decisions. But Hongbin's father is a bit weak. It's just that Hongbin has been canonized as grandson, and she doesn't have much to say about these things.
Qiyou understood the meaning in Zaozao's words, he didn't have so much scruples, and said directly: "Hongbin is the prince of Shoucheng, and being soft is actually a good thing."
Zaozao didn't want to comment on the matter any more, and changed the subject: "My father and mother are getting older, and I plan to resign from the position of commander of the Imperial Guard for a while to concentrate on my father and mother."
Qiyou was a little anxious when he heard this: "Sister, you can't quit..." The latter words were swallowed back in Zaozao's sharp eyes.
Zaozao brought a glass of wine and smiled: "Ayou, today we only drink, don't say anything else."
Qiyou didn't understand why Zaozao had the same attitude as Yuxi. However, neither Yuxi nor Zaozao gave him an answer.
It didn't take long before Qihao wanted to hunt in autumn. Qihao put Zaozao in charge of the safety of the hunting ground.
After Qiyou learned about this, he said to Zaozao: "Sister, since ancient times, hunting grounds are the most prone to accidents. Sister, this time the hunting grounds are your sole responsibility, so you must be careful."
Zaozao smiled and said, "You still need to remind me about this."
Unfortunately, Zaozao is too early to rest assured. An accident happened to Hongbin on the hunting ground, and one arm was bitten by a tiger. Because Zaozao was the person in charge, he was dismissed and went home to reflect. It's also because of Zaozao's identity, otherwise he wouldn't be fined so lightly.
Zaozao, who was dismissed, stayed in the princess mansion without being wronged either.
More than half a month later, Qiyou brought the remaining hundred-year-old daughter Hong to the princess mansion to find her for a drink.
After a glass of wine, Qiyou said: "Eldest sister, apart from the second prince, there are also concubine Shu and the third prince who harmed Hongbin."
Zaozao didn't feel surprised, and those people were the ones who made the poison.
Qiyou drank a glass of wine and said, "Sister, I told my eldest brother a long time ago to let the second princes who are already grown-ups go to the land, but the eldest brother doesn't listen to me at all." There will be this time.
First it was Yunsheng, and now it was Hongbin. Both father and son grew up as he watched them, and now they are dead and disabled, as long as the thought of these things enlightens them, it is uncomfortable.
Zaozao said calmly: "A Hao has his own ideas." These things are not something they can control.
Qiyou drank another glass of wine: "Sister, why did you say the same as your mother. Why don't you persuade the eldest brother with me? Maybe you will change your mind after you persuade the eldest brother, and Hong Bin won't have any trouble."
Zaozao smiled and said: "Qiyou, Dad was assassinated no less than a hundred times back then, but Dad is still alive now. On the contrary, the person who assassinated him has long since turned into loess."
"Sister, how can Hongbin compare with Daddy."
Zaozao said: "Don't compare with Dad. Let's just talk about this matter. Hongbin should know why the second prince and several people want to put him to death, why do they try to hunt with their guards alone. Then hunt. Not only did Shi happily meet a ghost hitting a wall, but also a fierce tiger."
Qiyou looked at Zaozao in surprise. He didn't tell Zaozao the ins and outs of this matter.
Zaozao took a sip of the wine and said, "Mother often tells us that once is a coincidence, and twice is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence. The people behind the scenes know Hongbin's weaknesses, and there is no hunting grounds, and he didn't deserve it. Emperor."
Qiyou was speechless.
After a long time, Qiyou said: "Sister, I find you are more and more like a mother." Not only became wise, but also looked at the problem thoroughly.
Zaozao smiled and said, "You think it's so good to be a general." Especially she is a woman, so many people are staring at her. If there is a half-step difference, all previous efforts will be lost. So others take one step and look at three steps, while she takes one step and think ten steps. If you think about it a lot, you can see through many things.
Qiyou said his worries to Zaozao: "Hongbin has lost one of his arms, and the position of the prince is no longer preserved. The next step is to fight for another position."
Zaozao glanced at Qiyou, and said, "Ayou, don't get into the matter with the prince. If Qihao asks your opinion, you can ask him to ask his mother."
Qiyou hesitated and said, "Eldest sister, the fifth prince has an inappropriate temperament to be an emperor. The rest is Hong Lang. But this child is only six years old, too young. Moreover, there are too many variables."
Zaozao repeated what he said just now: "Ayou, the prince is determined by Ahao and his mother, don't mix it up. Ayou, the eldest sister will not harm you."
When Qiyou heard this, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you, Sister."
It was also a coincidence that some ministers in the court proposed that the crown should be re-appointed. Most people propose to establish a fifth prince, because the fifth prince is the prince. There are also a small number of people who think that the four princes are more suitable to be kings, and propose to make the four princes the crown prince.
Hong Bin had just woke up, and now the courtiers said that he would re-appoint a new crown prince, which made Qi Hao particularly annoyed.
After going down, Qihao called Qiyou to the study room: "Ayou, why didn't you talk to the hall just now?"
Qiyou said: "Brother, Hongbin has just escaped danger. If he re-registers the Crown Prince now, he will definitely hurt this child's heart."
What Qi Hao meant was to wait for a while before mentioning the prince. At this moment, the queen didn't stand it anymore.
Hearing this news, Qi Hao couldn't believe it. Then, unable to withstand such a blow, he fainted.
Qi Hao was so sick that he didn't even have the strength to deal with Zhezi. For the first time, he felt his own weakness.
Incapable of handling government affairs, he asked six Shangshu to work together to handle government affairs.
Qi Hao's illness recovered after more than half a month.
It was also this illness that caused Qi Hao to change his mind. He felt that a new prince should be registered earlier. In this way, once he has an accident, the ruling and opposition parties will not cause turmoil.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the five princes took the initiative to make a report and said that he only liked researching equipment and was not interested in being an emperor.
The five princes withdrew, and there were only four thrones left as the only suitable candidates for the prince. Just when everyone felt that the four princes were the definite princes, the queen dowager, who had ignored the court affairs for 30 years, publicly opposed the establishment of the four princes as princes.
Although Yuxi retired from the court for thirty years, her influence on the court did not dissipate. As soon as the news that she opposed the establishment of the four princes as the princes came out, except for the irons of the four princes, the other people who were originally inclined to the fourth princes remained neutral.
