Chapter 15 Grilled Oranges
Chen Du suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and the tragic scene of Pei Shen's death appeared in front of his eyes.
"My lord, the Marquis of Linzi did not promise me any benefits. He just mentioned it casually and asked me a few questions."
The Marquis of Linzi is Pei Zhi's second brother Pei Su, and his relationship with the King of Wei is not bad.
"He always loves to play, and he seems to be very close to the third prince." Pei Zhi's tone was casual, but Chen Du's legs went weak.
Seeing that he was so frightened, Pei Zhi said gently: "Why are you so scared? Gu just said it casually. You and I grew up together, and I see your loyalty in my eyes."
Chen Du breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his expression didn't look like he was faking it, and that he was probably just beating himself up.
When the moon was setting, in the Palace of the Prince of Wei, Pei Zhi finally felt sleepy after finishing approving the papers, but he was about to go to court, so he had to change his clothes and prepare to enter the palace.
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the prince is sitting beside the dragon chair. Every time he speaks, he glances at Pei Zhi's expression and asks from time to time: "What does King Wei think?"
Two generations of Wei kings served as regents and ministers of the country, and the Manchu ministers who received the highest salary of the Zhou Dynasty were actually the retainers of the Pei family for a long time. As time went by, it became a matter of course.
The memorial presented by the ministers today was sent to the Wei Palace a day ago. After Pei Zhi's comments, it will be considered whether to present it in court.
Even so, Pei Zhiming still gave Zhao family enough face and treated the prince very respectfully when he went to court.
Only today, the prince talked about the car as usual. Pei Zhi looked gentle and calm, but he interrupted the prince.
"Since there is nothing to do, today's court meeting might as well end here."
After saying that, he walked away. The prince opened his mouth in shock and said nothing.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were as silent as a cicada. I don't know what happened. They dispersed as the king of Wei left.
After Yu Tingwan learned about the farce in the former court today, he said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be."
The King of Wei always acted well. There was a historian in the court, so what could make him so angry?
Jiao Yue didn't know why, but she shook her head silently. At dusk, Qiu Tao said to Yu Tingwan: "Madam, the East Palace is in chaos. The Cui family has sent Cui Rouyi to the East Palace, saying that it is at the disposal of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Mrs. Cui received the message from King Wei last night. Cui Rou should choose between becoming a monk or being imprisoned for life.
After Cui Taipu and Mrs. Cui knew the whole story, they cursed angrily: "Since Mrs. Cui wants to recommend you to be the princess of Wei, you should be careful in your words and deeds. Now that you have done such a wanton thing, what will the king of Wei think of us?"
But the Cui family couldn't bear to part with their daughter, so they sent Cui Rouyi to the East Palace in a small sedan chair in the middle of the night, leaving the problem to the prince.
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Cui Taipu is really an old fox."
The prince didn't dare to offend Mrs. Cui, but he didn't like her. In addition, Merlin's affairs were not honorable, so he was probably just a child.
Cui Taipu thought that by becoming the crown prince's daughter, he could not only protect his daughter, but also calm down the king of Wei.
It seemed that there was no problem, but Yu Tingwan felt that this had offended Pei Zhi. If the Cui family had any objections, it would be better to speak out frankly than to go against the rules.
Pei Zhi didn't care about the prince's face, he wanted to show Cui's face.
Sure enough, within a few days, several young members of the Cui family were secretly demoted from the capital. Cui Taipu gritted his teeth and took his daughter to a temple on the outskirts of Beijing, where she had her head shaved and became a aunt.
Qiu Tao didn't like Cui Rouyi, so she was delighted with the result. She was cheerful all day long, grinning from ear to ear when grilling citrus.
Jiaoyue asked in confusion: "Where did the citrus come from?"
"The envoy of King Liang sent us two baskets, and King Wei gave us half a basket." Qiu Tao gave Jiaoyue a piece, "Try it, they are said to be oranges from Huainan."
The King of Liang was defeated and sent envoys to sue for peace. Dahonglu was preparing a banquet to entertain the envoys in three days.
"This is your Majesty's thing, how can I taste it?" Jiao Yue quickly refused.
Seeing that she refused to eat, Qiutao quickly stuffed it into his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said, "Not bad."
"I asked you to give it to Jiao Yue, but you should enjoy it yourself first." Yu Tingwan said with a smile.
When Qiu Tao saw that Yu Ting had come late, she lowered her head and her face turned red from suppressing the pain. She glanced at the bright moon and said with a guilty conscience: "The empress said that you have been coughing recently and asked me to roast tangerines for you."
Bright Moon's pupils trembled slightly and she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Yu Tingwan saw the two people staying where they were, and laughed out loud: "That's all, I don't like eating either, so if you finish eating, it doesn't mean you have failed King Wei's kindness."
Qiutao stuffed an orange into her mouth and couldn't help but nod, "Well, King Wei is really kind and kind. He thinks of the empress even in such a trivial matter."
"I remember you didn't say that before."
Qiu Tao changed her mind very quickly. She said before that King Wei didn't look like a good person, but now she was bribed with just a few oranges.
Qiutao felt a little guilty when she thought of her words. She choked for a moment and finally stopped coughing, "My Lady, please stop laughing at me."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you." Yu Tingwan agreed, still with a narrow smile on his face, "You love oranges so much. I will come back later. If you and Jiao Yue haven't finished eating, I will But I will punish you for your sins.”
Seeing that there was no entourage around her, Jiaoyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, King Liang's envoys came to the capital, and I am afraid that there are assassins in the palace."
She paused and then said seriously: "My wife, wherever you go from now on, please take your slaves with you."
Yu Tingwan planned to go to Taiye Pond today to see if Que Wen had any news about his brother, so he hesitated for a moment and smiled: "No need, I'm taking a walk to eat, I can't be too far away."
Jiaoyue knew that Yu Tingwan didn't trust her, so she lowered her head and sat wilted next to Qiutao, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Yilan Palace was not far from Taiye Pond. She walked under the willow tree, her eyes lit up when she saw the mark, and her breathing became faster.
Yu Tingwan was in a good mood, and the scenery of Taiye Lake was also quite beautiful. Looking far into the water, one could see the small island in the middle of the lake.
"What kind of happy event has your Majesty met? Are you looking so happy?"
This voice was gentle and familiar. Yu Tingwan tilted his head, and it turned out to be Pei Zhi. He was surprised and asked, "Why is His Highness walking silently?"
Pei Zhi looked down at her, with a faint smile on his lips, and said softly: "I practiced martial arts when I was young, and studied under General Fu."
Fu Xun, the general who conquered the west, once became a gangster by virtue of his light skills. After establishing himself on the mountain, he surrendered to Pei Xu.
"It is rumored that His Highness studied under the chariot and cavalry general Zhang Yushu."
"I inherited my military skills from General Zhang, my shooting skills from the hussar general Xu Youzhen, and my literary and calligraphy skills are even more numerous." Seeing her interest, Pei Zhi slowly introduced those people, all of whom were famous.
God is so unfair. The heroes of the world gathered under the command of the former King of Wei, and they tried their best to teach a person like Pei Zhi, as if he was born to prove that there is really a perfect person in the world.
Nothing else mattered, except that when he was young, he could take books from Tianlu Pavilion at will, which Yu Tingwan was a little envious of.
The gentry in the court had a monopoly on the position of civil servants, firstly because of the inspection system, and secondly because only the gentry had the collection of books, and only the sons of the gentry were qualified to read the words of the saints.
Although the Yu family has a large collection of books, most of them were left behind by her great-grandfather, and many of them were lost over time.
Pei Zhi, who had been wallowing in human spirits since he was a child, saw the change in Yu Tingwan's expression at a glance and asked, "Is the empress interested in the Tianlu Pavilion that I just mentioned?"
"I have always heard that Tianlu Pavilion has a rich collection of books, but it is a pity that the concubine is not allowed to enter."
The King of Wei had been studious since he was a child and had always had a good impression of people who loved books. After listening to Yu Tingwan's words, Pei Zhi smiled a little deeper.
"Chang'an has experienced several rebel attacks. Too many books in the Tianlu Pavilion have been lost. However, there are many books in the Wei Palace. I don't know what the empress wants, so I sent someone to bring it."
It was pie in the sky. Yu Tingwan hesitated for a moment, why did King Wei treat her so well in recent days.
"Among the "Guoyu" collection at home, "Qiyu" is missing."
"I will send you to Yilan Palace tomorrow."
