sit tight

Chapter 18

It's my sister's face, but Qin Yufeng didn't even read his petition papers, and still insisted on his original will.

He couldn't wait any longer. After the meeting, he came to the backyard, wanting the princess to go back to the capital to beg her brother.The princess is a person with ideas, she knows the ambition of the son-in-law, and she is unwilling to stay in this remote place in Uqu.The princess thought about it, and she said that she would go back to Beijing in the name of going back to her natal family to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and brought her nine-year-old daughter back to Beijing.Of course Wu Zixu was happy, so he sent 50 elite soldiers to escort the princess, mother and daughter back to Beijing.The princess and her party did not go back to the capital directly. She turned a corner halfway and went to Qingliang Mountain to visit the Queen Mother.The queen mother was very happy to see her daughter and granddaughter coming back to see her.Five years ago, because of Qin Yufeng's nonsense, the Queen Mother went to Qingliang Mountain to worship Buddha in a fit of anger, and never returned to the palace.Perhaps it was because he was old and wanted to live a happy life with his family, so he listened to the princess' persuasion and went back to the capital with her.

The princess and empress dowager returned to the palace in a mighty manner.Qin Yufeng hosted a welcome banquet in the Empress Dowager's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Qin Yufeng and Empress Wu first stood up and toasted the Queen Mother and the Eldest Princess with a glass of wine, and then Qin Yufeng bestowed the title of Princess Cheng Yanran on the daughter of the Eldest Princess.

The queen mother looked at Qin Yufeng and the queen as close as guests, the siblings were talking and laughing, and the granddaughter was given a title again, smiling all the time on her kind face.

When the wine was in full swing, the eldest princess got up and held up the wine glass, and said to her younger brother with great demeanor, "Emperor, on behalf of the son-in-law, thank you for bestowing the title of second princess on Yanran. Today, I am going back to the palace to visit my relatives. The second reason for your reunion is for military pay."

Qin Yufeng smiled, "Miss Huang, it's fine for me to negotiate with the consort about the military pay, why should Sis Huang bother?"

The eldest princess said, "Of course the imperial sister knows that women's family members are not allowed to participate in state affairs, but the son-in-law, the number one martial artist, has spent ten years in Wuqu, a desolate place in Wuqu. It is nothing to be wronged by the imperial sister. The son-in-law's revenge is not in vain." Is it?"

Qin Yufeng said, "Your Majesty is serious. Wuqu is an important town in the north and west of the Eastern Qin Dynasty. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is located in a fortress and is the throat of the Eastern Qin Dynasty. I sent the son-in-law to garrison because I have reused the son-in-law."

The eldest princess put down her wine glass, her phoenix eyes widened, and her jade face was furious, "Reuse? Emperor, you really know how to say that throwing the dignified son-in-law to the border to watch the city gate counts as reuse, then you count Lin Changqing, who is worthless, as a first-rank marshal." What?"

Qin Yufeng frowned handsomely, "Sister Huang, what do you mean? Although I resigned as Marshal Lin Changqing, I didn't hand over the military power to him."

The princess sneered, "Emperor, originally the imperial sister shouldn't have said such things, but you are too deceitful. After you ascended the throne five years ago, you kicked me and my son-in-law to the border. Isn't it because you were afraid that the son-in-law would get your rights? Emperor, Do you dare to say that you have no selfishness towards Lin Changqing?"

The queen mother is now almost pissed off by the siblings. Why did they quarrel at the originally happy and peaceful family banquet? The queen mother said, "Stop quarreling with your siblings. Is it worth it for an outsider? I don't care about it. Agree to your imperial sister's request."

Qin Yufeng got up, and was rude to the queen mother, "The queen mother atones for her sins, and my minister cannot agree."

The queen mother was in a hurry, "You...well, you are the emperor now, I am an old woman who can't talk anymore, come here, drive me back to Qingliang Mountain." After finishing speaking, she got up and let the maid beside her help her before leaving.

Qin Yufeng hurried over and stopped the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, you just came back, why are you leaving?"

The queen mother stubbornly gouged out Qin Yufeng's eyes, "You are the one who bullies your family members, digging out your heart and soul for an outsider. No matter how good that person is, can he give you a son and a half daughter? You, you, there will be a day when you will regret it." After the queen mother finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Qin Yufeng was stunned, and when he regained his composure, the Queen Mother had long since disappeared.

The princess led Yanran up and came to Qin Yufeng, "Emperor, since you don't let go, sister Huang has no other choice. This time the son-in-law puts all his hopes on me, but unfortunately, the son-in-law doesn't know, the one who originally liked me The little brother who was pulling my sister to act like a baby has long since disappeared. Emperor, please do it yourself."

Yan Ran was forced to go out by her mother, she looked back as she walked, his handsome uncle was standing in the hall with his head bowed silently.Although Yan Ran is young, her mind is very sensitive.There was a worried look on her pink and jaded face. She wanted to break away from her mother and come back to comfort her uncle, but she couldn't because she was dumb.

On a clear autumn night, a full moon hangs high in the sky, and the crackling sound of fireworks blooms from time to time inside and outside the palace.

Qin Yufeng sat in the empty Hall of Mental Cultivation and drank alone. Empress Wu who was beside her looked at Qin Yufeng with a sad face, and couldn't bear it, so she comforted her, "Your Majesty, what the queen mother and princess said was just angry words, maybe they will come back soon. If you come to God, you will be fine, so don't worry about it."

Qin Yufeng smiled at the queen, "I'm fine, the queen is worried."

The queen said, "Your Majesty, don't drink any more, too much alcohol will hurt your health. The concubine is going back to the bedroom to rest. There are still many things in the palace tomorrow, so the concubine will leave."

Qin Yufeng said, "The empress has worked hard, go back and have a good rest."

Empress Wu stood up and retreated impolitely.

Wang Fu came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, Peng Yue wants to see you."

Qin Yufeng said, "Come in."

Peng Yue came in and knelt down to salute, Qin Yufeng looked at Wang Fu, and Wang Fu bowed to leave.

"Chen Peng Yue sees the emperor."

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Yufeng propped his head with one hand, he drank a little too much, "Why, there is another movement at the other end?"

Peng Yue said, "Yes, Your Majesty, tonight he went to the prison again."

Qin Yufeng smiled wryly, "Hehe, I wish it had nothing to do with him, but it happened to be him."

Peng Yue frowned, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, excuse me for talking too much, why are you bothering about such a person? The Eastern Qin Dynasty is so big, don't you believe that there is no one who is loyal to the emperor?"

Qin Yufeng raised his head and looked directly at Peng Yue, "Are you?"

Peng Yue quickly knelt down, "Of course Peng Yue is loyal to the emperor, but..."

Qin Yufeng smiled, "But what, but you don't like men, do you?"

Peng Yue was startled, and quickly kowtowed, "The emperor atones for his sins, I'm not trying to slander Sheng Jia."

Qin Yufeng rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, leaned back in the chair, no matter how gorgeous the dragon robe was, he couldn't hide the helplessness on his face, "I don't blame you, I blame myself, I know that what he hugs me is empty. I have a hypocritical heart, but I still think that as long as he is sincere to me, I will not blame him, and will treat him wholeheartedly. But Peng Yue, do you know that he may not even be able to deceive now? It's perfunctory, Zhen, I feel uncomfortable." After finishing speaking, he covered his eyes and didn't make another sound.

Peng Yue knelt on the ground, looking at the handsome emperor who should be proud of the world, but now he was in pain like an ordinary man who is trapped by love, Peng Yue's heart also felt uncomfortable, Your Majesty, why can't you be cruel, it's just a one-shot Is there something you can understand with blood?

dilemma

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, news of unrest among the victims came from the disaster-stricken areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the early morning, Qin Yufeng asked the ministers for their opinions. He wanted to go to the disaster area in the south of the Yangtze River to see for himself why the epidemic situation continued in the disaster area despite the allocation of a large amount of supplies and the transfer of a large number of doctors.

Several servants of the household department objected to Qin Yufeng going to the south of the Yangtze River in person. They said that the epidemic situation in the disaster area was serious, and they were afraid that something unexpected would happen to the emperor when he went up.The Taifu also objected, in his heart, Qin Yufeng is the sky.Although Taifu always likes to pretend to be smart and do some stupid things, his loyalty to Qin Yufeng is obvious to all.

Xian Wang still fanned his ivory and gold fan, waiting for Lin Changqing to speak first.

Lin Changqing stepped forward to salute, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I wonder if it can be implemented?"

Taifu raised his eight-character eyebrows, stared at Lin Changqing angrily, and said to himself, Lin Changqing, why do you have another opinion?

Qin Yufeng said, "Lin Aiqing has something to say."

"I am willing to go to Jiangnan for Your Majesty."

The voice just fell, and the court was in an uproar.

Qin Yufeng looked handsome, "Lin Aiqing, as a marshal, you hold an important position in the military department, how can you go to the disaster area in the south of the Yangtze River yourself?"

Lin Changqing smiled, "Your Majesty can go, why can't I go?"

Qin Yufeng, "You..." He was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

The virtuous king knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Lin's suggestion is feasible. Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and the epidemic situation in the disaster-stricken areas in the south of the Yangtze River is rampant. It may be inappropriate for your majesty to go down. Although Lord Lin is an important member of the Ministry of War, he also has a lot of support for him." Your Majesty's loyalty to relieve your worries, please fulfill your Majesty." The virtuous king asked, not begged.

The Taifu surprisingly didn't come out to object this time. He thought, Lin Changqing took the initiative to go to the disaster area, and it would be the best if he succeeded. If he couldn't, he would be punished when he came back. .Apart from pretending to be noble, Lin Changqing flirts with His Majesty.How could a holy monarch have such a monster by his side.

Qin Yufeng's expression was unclear, and his handsome face was sullen, "Since the virtuous king has spoken for Lin Aiqing, I will accept you. Lin Aiqing has a heavy responsibility to go, and she must have someone to support her. All loves, Which of you would like to go?"

When the ministers heard this, they fell silent. Whoever wants to go to the disaster area to suffer, all fell silent.

Lu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward, before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by the sage king, who said, "Your Majesty, I can recommend someone."

Qin Yufeng asked, "Tell me to take a look."

Xian Wang deliberately glanced at the Taifu, but the Taifu pointed his nostrils at each other and ignored him.

"The person recommended by the minister is Master Taifu."

The Taifu was shocked, "King Xian, you..."

The Xian Wang continued, "I remember that a few months ago, at the banquet, Taifu Ke personally said that he would cooperate with Master Lin."

The old Tai Tu's face was flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak
