Clan House

Since Song Yi's big marriage, the two have maintained a tacit relationship.Song Yi had many contacts with the queen, but never stayed overnight in Kunning Palace.Zhu Qiyou only asked about Song Yi's Empress Palace, and acquiesced that he would come to Qianqing Palace to sleep every day.

From this point of view, Song Yi's concubines are all decorations.Zhu Qiyou sometimes thought that if he and Song Yi were still at loggerheads, and the emperor had no heirs for a few years, he didn't know how Song Yi would deal with the ministers of the court.Or maybe Song Yi had planned long ago and didn't want to be with him for a long time.

Zhu Qiyou was not a careless person, these thoughts flashed in his mind occasionally, and would disappear night after night under Song Yi's tenderness.

The situation did not allow Zhu Qiyou to think too much. Soon, the northern captives knocked on the side, and Song Jingshi was about to lead the army again.

Song Yi planned to let Zhu Qiyou participate in this battle.

Zhu Qiyou himself also has the desire to lead the army, but he has no ambitions, and he doesn't expect Song Yi to be so tolerant to him.

After joining Feiyiying for more than a year, Zhu Qiyou always regarded this job as a small gift from Song Yi, just like a manor in the suburbs of Beijing.He has a good attitude of acceptance and works hard when he is on a job.He has always abided by the agreement with Song Yi, regardless of each other in the Qianqing Palace, but he must keep his duty when he is out of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qiyou didn't feel aggrieved by doing this to this extent.Because he had also been a prince and had learned the way of an emperor, he knew very well how much an obstacle the former prince was to the king.He knew that Song Yi was considerate of himself, and even tolerant of his family.The current situation is already the result of Song Yi's efforts under great pressure.

Many people are eager for power, but the emperor who holds the highest power is not as happy as others imagine.It is hard for the emperor, he manages all officials, and in turn is supervised by all officials; the emperor wants to set an example for the world, he must be cautious in every word and deed.

After the banquet, Zhu Qiyou would occasionally think of the woman Xiaohuayuan met.The queen, like the emperor, is a person who is placed on the cloud, and his words and deeds can be found in classics.Zhu Qiyou had never met the queen face to face, but according to Song Yi, the queen behaved dignifiedly and knew the general situation.Zhu Qiyou was not jealous of this kind of praise, because he knew that Song Yi's appreciation came from the queen's clear understanding of herself: she was the queen of Daluo, a moral model for women in the world, not Song Yi's wife.

Zhu Qiyou didn't know women well. In the past, his relationship with the princess was weak, and he didn't like other women in the yard.Now, as an outsider, he shuttled through Song Yi's harem, and finally discovered the pitiful place of the women in the deep palace under the rich clothes and fine food.In that small garden, Niu Tong who got lost was innocent, but the owner of Kunning Palace was even more pitiful.Regardless of the danger, she indulged herself on the back of a strange man, perhaps the only chance she had in her life to get close to him.

If even the dignified queen feels oppressed and lonely, what about the emperor, what kind of pressure is Song Yi facing?

Zhu Qiyou found sadly that he had become a stain on Song Yi Mingjun's history, perhaps the only stain.If so, what purpose did Song Yi forcefully send himself to Beiguan to accumulate military merits against all opinions?Today, how much do you want to be nice to this stain, or want to be willful?

Even at a loss, Zhu Qiyou is determined to participate in this battle.Not a man's desire to make contributions, but more to release the repressed loneliness in his chest.In his lifetime, Zhu Qiyou wanted to leave the capital once and meet the vast mountains and rivers.When he wanted to help Song Jingshi, he fulfilled the elder brother's responsibility that he had previously evaded.

With the imminent departure from Beijing, Zhu Qiyou also has people who are worried.

The most worrying thing is the child.Zhu Qiyou lived in the Hou's Mansion for three years, but his relationship with Yongdinghou and his wife was not close. The whole family was aloof and polite, and it seemed that he and Xiao'er seemed like recent guests.And since the failure of the uprising, Mrs. Yongding Hou's mood has been unstable.When she looked at Zhu Qiyou, she didn't see a mother's care for her long-lost son. Instead, she looked at a useless and non-discardable waste product.After he left, there was no adult to look after him in the children's room, so he had to be sent to his wife to raise him because of emotion and reason.Marquis Yongding and Zhu Qiming had to be on duty on weekdays, and it was really hard to put the child together with a crazy woman.

For Zhu Qiyou's embarrassment, Song Yi was also quite considerate.He made an exception to give Zhu Qiyou a long vacation, and even though he himself had a lot of regrets for Zhu Qiyou, he still asked him to go home to accompany his daughter.

Even so, Zhu Qiyou was still unhappy.Firstly, he was attached to Song Yi and bid farewell, and secondly, the annoying relationship at home was difficult to resolve.

Zhu Qiyou has been thinking a lot lately, so he talks less, and doesn't tell Song Yi what's on his mind.Song Yi inquired many ways before he knew the reason for his depression.

One day, Zhu Qiyou went to Qianqing Palace to spend the night.After the lingering, Song Yi hung his limp body on Zhu Qiyou's body, and said casually: "Why don't you take the child into the palace and let the imperial concubine Wen take care of it."

It's not that Zhu Qiyou hasn't thought about this method, but he has concerns: "My mother is still at home, if I do this, I'm afraid it won't sound good to the public."

"Jingye is four years old, it's time for enlightenment." Song Yi said lazily, "Although I can't get into Zong Xue, I will set up a primary school in the palace first, and choose a few children of the right age to study with me in the palace."

Zhu Qiyou frowned and remained silent.

Song Yi stuck to the man again, his arm passed through the man's armpit and hung on his shoulder in reverse. "It doesn't matter, when you come back, just report a sickness, and then take the child home."

Zhu Qiyou thought for a moment, and felt that there was no other way, so the matter was settled.

"Over there in the West Palace, Imperial Concubine still raises Si Chan, and Jing Ye also lives in Concubine Tong's Palace." Song Yi grabbed Zhu Qiyou's shoulder, pulled his body upwards, and wrapped his right leg under the man's hip. "The child will move there, and he will not be lonely if he has someone to play with him."

Zhu Qiyou responded with a "hmm", he held Song Yi's buttocks and pressed down on his back, feeling a piece of sticky sticky that was about to dry up in his hand.He separated Song Yi's slender legs, knelt down on the boy's body and kissed him a few times.The lust faded and then became stronger, and the two became entangled again and became a shadow.

"Why don't you go..." Some unspeakable thoughts were mixed between the groans and gasps, "I really don't want to let you go..."

It was only when he was about to set off that Zhu Qiyou realized that the identity Song Yi had arranged for him was Eagle Head.It sounds powerful, but it is actually a hundred households the size of a sesame mung bean, and there is only a small team under orders, and half of them are animals.

Zhu Qiyou had no intention of training soldiers, so he missed work and went to Qianqing Palace to find Song Yi.Song Yi was discussing matters with the cabinet, so he hid behind the screen, tearing the wicker on the vase bored.Song Yi had some miraculous sympathy with him, Zhu Qiyou tore a leaf, and his voice also paused, as if he realized that there were people in the hall.

"It's getting late, so please stay here for lunch, Qing." Song Yi left the throne, waved his hand casually to signal that the ministers don't need to be polite, "I'm going to change my clothes."

Song Yi walked around the Duobao Pavilion, and saw Zhu Qiyou leaning boneless on the side of the tall feet, his face remained motionless: "Absent from work?"

Zhu Qiyou didn't speak, and hooked his fingers at Song Yi.Seeing that Song Yi ignored him, he walked lightly to Song Yi's side, and pulled his belt towards the bedroom.Song Yi staggered twice, grabbed Zhu Qiyou's sleeve and followed him to the inner hall.

"what happened?"

Zhu Qiyou pressed Song Yi's shoulder and asked him to sit down.He leaned over slightly, with a negotiating tone: "Can you arrange a bigger official position for me, Baihu is too embarrassing."

Song Yi had expected him to have such an idea, but he was not surprised. He asked sarcastically, "Have you ever been on the battlefield, what achievements have you made, and you still want to be a leader?"

After hearing too much of his ridicule, Zhu Qiyou was somewhat immune, but he was not discouraged.He squatted down, and used his fingers to comb the uncluttered tassels scattered on Song Yi's thigh.

"Some generals recognize me," he said in a low voice, "I have such a low rank, and when the time comes, I will be called around by others, and I will lose face."

"You don't know anything about wars, and you still want to save face?" Song Yi didn't buy his humility at all.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyou was really unhappy, he thought for a while, and coaxed a few words: "There are only a few people who have met you in the army, and most of them are soldiers who don't know you. You are different from the princess. It is her first time to go to war. With your status, even if someone refuses to accept you, you dare not confront them face to face. If you are in a high position without merit, it will be difficult to convince the public, and you may not know how many people will entrap you behind your back."

Zhu Qiyou was a little discouraged, and shook the jade pendant around Song Yi's waist a few times, and said: "You sent Wang Yongfu to supervise the gun, even his rank is higher than mine, do you really want me to run errands for them?"

In Daluo, firearms have always been a classified technology and are strictly in the hands of the emperor.In order to avoid leakage of drawings, the manufacture of firearms is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, but production in the inner court.The preservation and dispatch of firecrackers were also in the charge of the internal officials, and the governors of various regions submitted applications as needed, and after the Ministry of War gave opinions, the emperor personally approved them.Even with the approval of the emperor, the governors cannot directly use these firearms.The Yuma Supervisory Committee dispatched eunuchs to guard the guns and arrive at the place with weapons to cooperate with the local generals to call for battle.

After Emperor Renxi ascended the throne, great breakthroughs were made in the development of firearms in the inner palace, which not only solved the problem of cannon blasting, but also produced light-handed guns that could be fired in succession.Horses are easily frightened, and cavalry carrying firecrackers need to practice with horses every day. This kind of training has not been carried out in the frontier army.Wang Yongfu has been with Song Yi for many years. He is in good health, and he is a rare intelligent and quick-witted person among the internal officials.So he was assigned to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and was given the task of supervising guns and training the sharpshooter battalion.

Song Yi paid attention to respect and inferiority, and rarely used eunuchs.However, Wang Yongfu's position was difficult to find someone to replace, so he made an exception as an internal officer to serve as the guarding gun supervisor.

"It's the first time for the Shenqiang Battalion to go into battle. Wang Yongfu, the gun supervisor, is very important, so don't look down on him." Song Yi said sternly. "You don't need to underestimate yourself. Although the eagles raised by Daluo have never been comparable to Mongolia, your Flying Wing Battalion is still the most important thing when understanding the environment and inquiring about the military situation."

Song Yi said a few words, saw that Zhu Qiyou was silent, and said: "In the past, Daluo seldom used war eagles in battles, and the generals didn't pay much attention to it. You are a good job, and you will have great credit if you do it well. If it doesn’t work well, no one is responsible, how comfortable it is!”

Zhu Qiyou rolled his eyes, thinking that he was not such an idiot.

Seeing that he was not happy, Song Yi took Zhu Qiyou's flailing hand with both hands, and touched it with his lips. "I won't ask those generals to order you, you just follow the princess, okay? You see, you must have a lot of things you don't understand when you go to the battlefield for the first time. You are embarrassed to ask others for advice, but you can always learn from your good sister. "

Song Yi bowed his body, and met Zhu Qiyou's with gentle eyes: "You just have to think about me more, I really can't bear to let you charge into the battle. You can follow the princess, not only learning to lead the army, but also showing off your prestige, okay? Well..."

It is the content that cannot be let go of the words:

At the beginning of the conception of this article, Song Yi was a person who paid attention to etiquette, which was determined by his identity and the nature of his work.

A patriarch or a ruler may sneer at etiquette in private, but he will still practice etiquette in front of people, because this is the best way to fool the people.

Etiquette is convenient for ruling and makes the ruler's work easier.But everything is not absolute, he will act on the user himself in turn, making him bound.Song Yi used etiquette to restrain officials and people, and officials in turn used etiquette to restrain the emperor.

Therefore, the relationship between Song Yi and Zhu Qiyou is not visible, and the Queen's affair will not have substantive results.

Song Yi and the queen are a couple in terms of etiquette, although they have no love for each other, and they are tacit.This is also the ending that was determined from the beginning. Unlike some novels that are vigorously announced to the world, the relationship between Song and Zhu is always private and unknown. It does not need fanfare or even the support and understanding of a third person. .In contrast, the queen's life is even more miserable, a tragedy that women in the feudal era cannot escape.The only happiness and light left to Song Jingshi's family is the respect that the princess earned with her blood and sweat.

The story is written here, plus the following chapters, the whole tone is not heavy.Even if there is a change of regime and people's calculations, the relationship between the protagonists is not too much blocked, at least in terms of mind, they can always understand each other.

For ancient novels, I have always had a principle, which is to echo the values ​​of that era in the background, and try not to be influenced by modern ideas as much as possible.Therefore, Song Yi's emphasis on ethics is a more important setting for this story.

But with the development of the plot, it is not yet known whether the protagonist is willing or not, and the author took the lead in rebelling.

In the next article, I plan to write a story about resisting ethics (tentative)

Posted out of feelings, and have no intention of ending~
