Chapter 622: The day of entering Beijing
Chapter 622 The Day of Entering Beijing
Tang Weiming couldn't understand Chu Nanzhi's intentions, and he kept feeling aggrieved for her.
Waiting to enter the courtyard of the old house, seeing the princess who calmly got off the carriage with a careless face, Tang Weiming pursed his lips in resentment and said:
"You don't have to be afraid of the queen mother, you and your highness are the people that the queen mother likes, don't say that Princess Qian disrespected your highness and the princess first this time, even if Princess Qian keeps her duty, you don't have to do this Get used to her, she just married into the general's mansion, in terms of nobility, she can't be compared with the princess."
Seeing that the little **** has been holding on to this matter, even though he complained for himself, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and said to him with a forced smile:
"Boss Tang thinks why His Royal Highness and Yin Shaofu resigned from these congratulatory gifts today?"
Tang Weiming frowned suspiciously: "Could it be that His Highness really thinks that the congratulatory gifts sent by the county officials are too expensive?"
"This is only one aspect."
Chu Nanzhi explained with a smile: "The corruption in our Jiangnan officialdom has been loose for a long time. This is a well-known fact. The reason may have to be traced back to the inaction of the previous officials. These people deceived Xia Yang and Feng Yin are used to violating the law, so they feel that they can always cover up their evil deeds by bribing Shangguan,
At present, it has become an extravagant thing for the people everywhere to feed their hunger with wild vegetables. These so-called parents and officials came to participate in His Royal Highness's conferment ceremony, and the congratulatory gifts they prepared exceeded the royal palace's one-year food town. If His Highness accepted the gift with peace of mind, Mr. What should those people who don't have enough to eat feel? "
Tang Weiming suddenly realized, nodded slowly and said: "I'm afraid everyone will be extremely disappointed, and even disappointed with the entire Pingning Prefecture. I don't know how many Yulong gangs will take advantage of the rise in the future."
"So it's not that His Highness doesn't love money, it's just that he doesn't want to join forces with others."
Chu Nanzhi's tone became deep and continued: "Although His Highness's actions today have chilled a lot of people who want to come to cling to the officials, they have given hope to those people who are in deep distress. At least they can trust Pingning Prefecture There is still a clear stream, and it has strengthened the faith of those officials who still have righteousness in their hearts and want to serve the court."
"I see, Your Highness really has a broad mind, and doesn't bow down for small gains."
After understanding the reason, Tang Weiming admired King Pingning for a while.
No wonder the Empress Dowager attached great importance to King Pingning, and sooner or later he would rejuvenate the Dahe Empire with his talents and insights.
Seeing that he finally understood Lin Jinxiao's difficulties, Chu Nanzhi nodded in relief and said:
"Since she was a child, Princess Qian was well-clothed and well-fed. She only knew that what she liked should be in her pocket no matter what. She didn't understand the sufferings of the people. She thought that she could do whatever she wanted with the power in her hand. How could she know that if the people were starved of food? He dares to kill people even if he has the level to kill, if there is no skin, there will be no hair."
"The princess is still insightful."
The affection and respect in Tang Weiming's eyes almost overflowed.
I have seen countless nobles in the palace, but most of them are mediocre people. They spend their whole day just trying to trick each other for petty interests. I have never met such a strange woman with a heart like her.
Thinking of the empress dowager in the palace, Tang Weiming said with a deep smile: "In the past few months, I have often heard the empress dowager and her old man talking about the princess who is next to your highness. Empress Dowager, she must be very happy."
"Empress Dowager?"
For some reason, as soon as she saw this person, Chu Nanzhi felt an inexplicable sense of sincere respect in her heart.
Losing his beloved son in his early years, and being abandoned by his husband, he supported a huge country all by himself. These years, he worked hard to deal with various powerful forces. What kind of perseverance should this old man have to support until now.
Although the Dahe Empire failed to embark on the road to prosperity, it was not easy to check and balance the forces of all parties and prevent the empire from falling into war.
Thinking that he would meet this legendary old man in the near future, Chu Nanzhi looked at Tang Weiming excitedly and curiously, and asked with great interest, "Is the Empress Dowager easy to get along with?"
When mentioning the Empress Dowager, Tang Weiming was immediately in awe: "She is the most kind person in the world."
Chu Nanzhi could think of the appearance of the old man in the palace from the sincerity in his eyes, he must be a respected person.
In this way, my psychological pressure suddenly decreased a lot.
Didn't continue to ask questions, the master and servant walked into the courtyard, only to see Ji Cen'an coming out of the living room.
When the two met, Ji Cen'an first cupped his hands respectfully, and then apologized with shame: "Brother, sister-in-law, what happened to Wanying is because my younger brother didn't discipline her well."
"This matter has passed, and Commander Ji does not need to blame himself."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him very depressed, and then remembered that he was Ji Wanying's cousin, and comforted him: "Commander Ji has to train and patrol the camp all day long, so don't worry about such trivial things."
Seeing that she told a story that shocked everyone in such a calm manner, and that her cousin still deliberately harmed her, Ji Cen'an was deeply moved, and said deeply: "My Ji family will always remember the brother and sister-in-law today. Big favor."
"They're all from my own family, Commander Ji doesn't need to be so polite."
Chu Nanzhi said it politely, but her heart was full of joy.
Ji and Yin are both the most prosperous foreign relatives in Jingling City. To get the promise of Princess Shu's son-in-law will undoubtedly give him a lot of confidence in entering Beijing.
Seeing his hurried appearance, Chu Nanzhi immediately changed the subject: "What is Commander Ji's so-called rush?"
"Presumably brother and sister-in-law also know about things in Beijing. I don't dare to stay in Luyan Port any longer. I'm here to ask brother Jinxiao when he will return to Beijing?"
"Has it ever been decided?"
Already made a plan, but hearing this, Chu Nanzhi still couldn't help falling into a panic.
I don't know when, she has been used to seeing that handsome and gentle face every day when she opens her eyes, and she is also used to his concern and protection everywhere.
Suddenly about to be separated from him, Chu Nanzhi's reluctance to part with him finally burst out at this moment.
"It's not too late, my younger brother has informed my elder brother that we will return to Beijing on the third day of October. If brother and sister-in-law are still unprepared, they should tell Yin Erlang to send someone to prepare for it earlier."
As soon as Ji Cen'an finished speaking, the melancholy in Chu Nanzhi's heart became even worse.
She responded to him with a forced smile, and returned to the living room calmly.
The room was very lively, the elders didn't come to the house to teach today, the quadruplets dragged Shen Yunqing and Xiao Muci to play cuju in the yard all afternoon, all of them were dirty and sweaty, Liu Yun Leading the maids were about to take them to the bath.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the little ones were so excited, they all came forward and shouted happily: "Aniang, Aniang, just now Uncle Ji came to the house and told us that we will be entering Beijing in a few days. .”
"Uncle Ji said that Jingling City has more delicious food and fun than Luyan Port. Uncle Ji said that when we go to Jingling City, he will take us to the palace to play."
Sambo Lin Ruichong said happily.
Looking at each of them being very happy, Chu Nanzhi didn't want to dampen their interest, she faintly agreed with a smile, and asked softly, "Where's your father?"
"Father and General He are talking in the study."
Er Baolin Ruixi replied with a smile.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the little treasures again, and ordered them to follow Liu Yun to the backyard to take a shower and change clothes, while she turned around and went to the study.
