781-788 end

Chapter 781 It's quite hidden. As soon as

the patriarch spoke, Duke Qing was not happy, "Why, patriarch, you are actually on her side?"

"I want you to be careful about trouble coming from your mouth!" The patriarch was really convinced by this. What a fool.

Whatever you can't do, pick the first one!

Duke Qingguo didn't take it seriously, "Chief, don't forget, we have the same surname."

Coming from the mouth of a junior, it was very disrespectful to the elders.

The patriarch was angry, and felt that this Qingguo Gong had a title for nothing, but in fact it was nothing.

He suppressed his anger and said, "I advise you to take care of yourself, because Zheng, you have offended the emperor and the empress. If you don't know what is wrong, no one can protect you."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qing Guogong was impatient. .

The clan leader said: "If you abolish the direct descendant and establish a concubine, and divide half of the family property, this matter will be sued to the government, and the Zheng family will be justified. If you spoil your concubine and kill your wife, they can sue you. When the time comes, you must not only reconcile with her but also divorce her." , and you have to bear the infamy. Now that Zheng is willing to settle the matter and only take away what she deserves, what else do you have to do? You have to make it known to everyone in the capital to be satisfied?

" He couldn't listen and said impatiently: "After all, you still help that woman Zheng!"

"I'm doing this for the Duke of Qing and the face of the whole clan!" The clan leader was so angry that he hit the ground with his cane. .

Seeing that the two people were not talking to each other, an elder said: "Don't listen to what the elders say. Firstly, you are being unreasonable. Secondly, the Zheng family has the support of the Queen. From a practical point of view, this matter It won't do you any good to make a big fuss."

Duke Qing took a deep breath and said, "I know, so shouldn't you help me find a way? That woman wants to take away the dowry and get half of the family. "How can there be such a truth in the world?"

When the elders of the three clans heard this, they became very angry.

Good guy, when this guy is the Duke of Qing, he may not be able to help them with anything.

Now that something happens, I want them to come up with a solution.

They are the ones who use the papyrus to wipe his butt?

The three clan elders suffered a major blow to their outlook on life and could not speak for a long time.

After a long silence, the clan elder said: "That's all, just tell me what you want to do next and how we can help you."

He admitted that he was here to spy, and he was being unkind.

But what can he do? He is not the one who is unkind in the first place.

He couldn't let the entire clan be destroyed under the influence of this prodigal son!

Qing Guogong said without hesitation: "Since that woman can't find any fault, I just let her make mistakes. If she commits adultery or theft among the seven, then no matter how well-behaved she is, I can divorce her." Kill her."

Hearing this, the three clan elders were shocked.

This idiot really doesn't want to live anymore.

If he wants to die, he can die, but don't take them with him!

After coming out of the Qingguo Duke's Mansion, the clan leader did not ask the other two clan elders what they meant, but said: "I have to write a letter to Mr. Zheng to let him be on guard."

"For the current plan, this is the only way. "It's not appropriate for us to have close contact with Mr. Zheng in this matter."

"That's right, Mr. Qing has gone crazy. We have to avoid suspicion."

Thinking that Mr. Qing wants to give his wife a child. The three clan elders, who combined were over two hundred years old, were afraid of the charge of "prostitution."

Although they can be Zheng's grandfather at their age, but... there are fields of melons and plums, so you have to be careful!

Otherwise, if some outrageous rumors really spread, they would have no shame in living in this world.

While the patriarch went home and wrote to Zheng Xi, Duke Qing was also planning his big plan.

Now that the warehouse keys and account books are in the hands of that woman, as long as she does some tricks and loses some things from the warehouse, she can be deceived into stealing.

So Duke Qing found his confidant and conspired with him.

When the boy came out of Duke Qing's study, his legs were weak.

Listen to what his master said to him, asking him to steal things from his warehouse?

But isn't he traveling secretly?

Of course not.

The boy trembled and walked towards the yard of Mrs. Qingguo.

Before I even entered the door, I was frightened by an unfamiliar woman.

Why is this woman more scary than the one who usually follows Madam?

He had a murderous look on his face, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The boy was already feeling guilty, but when he saw the old lady, he couldn't help but his legs trembled.

He forced himself to calm down and said: "The master asked me to come to my wife to get a black jade inkstone from the warehouse, saying that I want to give it to an old friend."

"Wait." The mother-in-law yelled fiercely. With a sound, he closed the door and went into the hospital to report.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qing Guo Gong thought for a moment and sneered: "Return an old friend, how can he have any old friends who hangs out in the back house all day long!"

It's not that she looks down on Qing Guo Gong, this man is really Apart from playing with women, there is no more fun in life.

When other men drink, they go out and drink with friends. But if this old guy wants to drink, he drinks with his aunt.

When I got too drunk, I had to ask my aunt to play the piano and sing a song on the spot.

Anyway, don't mention being too cowardly.

If you say he has some kind of friend and is arty and gives him some inkstone, don't make people laugh.

Has he ever used an inkstone since he was a child?

The old woman said: "Madam, before we left the house, I repeatedly told you that Duke Qing was a bad man, so I asked you to be careful about him."

The implication was that Duke Qing was definitely going to cause trouble recently, so be careful.

Mrs. Qing Guoguo pondered for a moment and said, "Tell him, I want to take stock of the warehouse in the mansion. What he wants to take will be discussed after I finish taking stock."

"I understand." The mother-in-law took the order and went out to send the boy away. Went.

Although the boy failed to complete the errand assigned by the master, he felt very embarrassed.

But seeing the woman standing next to him, the shadow cast by her completely covering his thin figure, he didn't dare to say anything.

If he really used his hands, he might not be able to fight enough.

The boy thought for a while and decided to go back and resume his life.

As for Mrs. Qingguo, she made a big show of asking people to take inventory of the warehouse.

The key is in her hand, and she has to ensure that the accounts and physical objects are correct.

Otherwise, if that old guy Qing Guo Gong wants to frame her, she will not be able to defend herself.

Mrs. Qingguo asked her own people to supervise, and the housekeeper and steward went to take inventory together.

It took most of the day to complete the inventory of the warehouse.

The accounts and the physical objects were exactly the same, which showed that my aunt was really careful when managing the house.

And what's rare is that he didn't show favoritism or secretly move things to his parents' house.

Duke Qing, on the other hand, was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.

He had never seen this woman so cunning before. Unexpectedly, she hid it quite deeply.

After finally waiting for the inventory to be completed, he sent the boy over to pick up the things.

The answer I got this time was: If you want to pick up something, you have to go there in person. When things are taken away, his signature must be left on the ledger.

Chapter 782: This man himself was shameless

. When Duke Qing heard this, he was almost furious.

When he picks up his own things, he has to sign in person?

"This family has become hers!" He jumped and said, "Even before we separated the families, we took care of things. Do you really think she has the final say in this family?"

The Duke of Qing was so angry that he went to the house to accuse him.

Duke Qingguo's wife didn't even let him enter the courtyard, and directly sent her mother-in-law to send a message: "Now the masters in the mansion are in turmoil. In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, it is better to be careful when it comes to property."

Seeing that Duke Qingguo was angry, The mother-in-law said again: "If you find it inconvenient for me, you should settle your affairs with your wife as soon as possible. The general affairs in this house can also be handed over to the people you like as soon as possible."

These words can make the Duke of Qing Guo happy. He fell back in anger.

He couldn't see his wife, so he wanted to take it out on the woman.

It can be seen that the woman's face is full of flesh and her hands are covered with calluses. It looks like she has been practicing, so he does not dare to make mistakes.

To say how thoughtful Mr. Qing Guo is, he really doesn't have much.

But he is also a little clever. For example, when he saw the new mother-in-law, he knew that her uncle sent her to protect her.

Duke Qing Guo thought about it and thought that he might not be able to do anything with the property in the house. His wife was too concerned about it, so he had to take another way.

With this in mind, Duke Qing asked someone to buy a handsome boy from Ren Yazi.

I wanted to take the boy and hang around in front of the lady a few times to create an opportunity for the lady to get interested.

As a result, the Qingguo Princess's courtyard door was tightly closed, and she refused to leave the courtyard unless there was anything going on.

Even if there are any needs in life, people will be sent out to do things.

Duke Qing had been squatting for several days without finding a chance, and finally couldn't wait any longer.

That night, he asked the young man to carry the incense and climbed in through the wall of his wife's courtyard.

After the agreement was made, the boy would bark three times like a dog, and he would rush in with someone from outside and catch him in bed.

Duke Qing and his confidant squatted outside his wife's yard, looking up at the branches from the moon, waiting for midnight.

"Young man!" He couldn't help but sigh, "You have great physical strength."

After waiting for a while, Duke Qing felt something was wrong.

"Why haven't you come out yet? How come he's so excited when he's so impressed?" Qing Guo Gong asked his confidant.

He uses himself to judge others, thinking that men all over the world are addicted to beauty and are unwilling to come out of the land of gentleness.

How could the confidant know that he, an unmarried young man, was following his master to do such a thing, and he already wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"How about you go inside and take a look?" asked the confidant.

Duke Qing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Be careful, don't let anyone discover you."

The confidant climbed over the wall secretly.

As soon as he landed, he saw his shadow being shrouded by a sudden black shadow.

Just as the confidant was about to speak, he felt a pain on the back of his head and fainted.

In the hall, Mrs. Qingguo looked solemn.

The pretty young boy was tied up with five-flowered buns and huddled in the corner, shivering.

Seeing that the old lady brought in another boy, Mrs. Qingguo sneered, "Another one?"

The old lady said, "Madam, this old slave has already been searched. He is clean and has nothing with him. He is probably here to inquire." Madam, you'd better make a decision as to what to do about this matter. Yi Laonu doesn't need to give face to that conscienceless person. He himself has no shame."

Mrs. Qingguo nodded. His eyes turned to the handsome boy, "I just told you, have you thought about it?"

The handsome boy nodded repeatedly.

Duke Qingguo said, "Then go ahead as you just said."

After saying that, the mother-in-law pulled the rag out of the handsome boy's mouth.

The handsome boy shouted three times toward the window.

These three sounds suddenly cheered up the sleepy Duke of Qing. He perked up and was just thinking about how to rush in when he saw the courtyard door open by itself.

He just thought that a trusted servant opened the door to welcome him, and rushed in without thinking.

As soon as he rushed to the door, his mother-in-law took the drug and knocked him out.

A Duke of Qing and two young men were thrown into the main room.

The mother-in-law grabbed the drug she found from the handsome boy and asked Mrs. Qingguo, "Have you used it all?"

"Yes, doesn't it mean that the amount is enough for cattle and horses? Let him enjoy it today. "Mrs. Qingguo didn't even blink.

The mother-in-law fed the drug to the three of them without saying anything, especially the Duke of Qing.

Then, the master and servant locked the door of the main room and went back to the bedroom to wait.

Within a moment of burning the incense, there came one after another the sounds of ghosts crying and howling.

It can be heard that the battle is quite fierce.

Until dawn, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling has not stopped.

The Duke of Qing's wife sent a servant to say: "Go to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor, and say that the master has gone crazy."

The servant left quickly.

After about an hour, the imperial doctor arrived.

At that time, Mrs. Qingguo opened the door of the main room with red eyes.

What comes into focus is the indistinguishable bodies of Duke Qing and two young men.

The imperial physician felt it was so irritating that he couldn't help but take two steps back.

The Duke of Qing said, "Excuse me, the doctor, do you want to find a few people to pull them apart?"

"No." The doctor said decisively: "This medicine has powerful properties. If it is interrupted midway, your life will be in danger, so we should wait. "

With that said, the imperial physician endured the discomfort and stepped forward, gently closing the door.

Duke Qing's wife wept, "If I had known that the master would do such a dirty thing in this courtyard to humiliate me, I should have agreed with the master and let him divorce me, which would be better than being humiliated like this."

When the imperial doctor heard this, he realized Is there such a secret?

He had also heard about Duke Qing's doting on his concubines and killing his wives, but he didn't expect that Duke Qing was having such a good time in private.

The imperial doctor couldn't help but pricked up his ears.

At this time, I heard the woman say: "Madam, who would have thought that after more than ten years of marriage, the master would treat you like this! But madam, you have not done anything to disgrace the Duke of Qing. The master wants to divorce you." "You can't agree to it."

"But if anyone knows that my husband is in my yard with the servant... won't our Zheng family become the laughing stock of the whole capital in the future?" Hiding his face, he cried until he couldn't stop crying.

The imperial doctor only felt sorry for her.

The whole capital knew that Duke Qing Guo was out of tune, but no one knew that he could be so out of tune!

He has humiliated his wife, so doesn't he himself feel ashamed?

The imperial doctor didn't know what to do, he just felt extremely embarrassed.

At this time, Mrs. Qingguo said again: "Ever since Hui'er got brain disease, the master has stopped sleeping with me. He often said that even if he slept with a woman of humble origin, he would not sleep with me. Now, He would rather sleep with a man..."

Xu felt that what he said was too personal, and Mrs. Qingguo's voice stopped abruptly.

Chapter 783: Tearing Pain

Mrs. Qingguo stopped talking, and the imperial doctor quickly lowered his head and pretended to organize the medicine box.

The mother-in-law comforted Duke Qing's wife, then walked to the imperial doctor and said, "Sir, something like this has happened in the mansion now. If word spreads, the master and his wife will be disgraced..."

"I know that I will not go out. Nonsense." The doctor understood.

He has been an imperial doctor all his life. If he had not kept his mouth tight, he would have died countless times.

No one would tell him this kind of thing, and he wouldn't go out and say it.

At this moment, the concubines from the 18th-floor apartment in Duke Qingguo's backyard heard the news and came over one after another.

The crowd of people, all dressed in red and green, makes people dizzy just looking at them.

The imperial doctor had heard that Duke Qing was fond of women, but he didn't know he had so many aunts in his backyard.

It can be seen that the wife of the wife is indeed having a hard time.

Among the aunts, Duke Qing was a little sweet-tempered, but when she saw Duke Qing acting like this, she felt disillusioned and started to cry.

There were also those who had a difficult temperament and immediately began to make irresponsible remarks, all of which were filled with irritating remarks towards the wife of the wife.

Eighteen women were crying and shouting, and the room suddenly became a mess.

Duke Qing's wife was surrounded by this group of people, her body softened and she fainted.

The mother-in-law quickly called the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor quickly stepped forward to check his pulse, and came to the conclusion that he was suffering from anxiety and anxiety, and prescribed medicine to calm his mind.

Just when it was a mess, the hall seemed to have stopped.

The aunts and aunts quickly gathered around the imperial doctor and went to check. They saw the two servants looking miserable, while Duke Qing Guo fainted.

The imperial doctor hurriedly gave Qing Guo Gong acupuncture, and the two packs of needles he brought were almost not enough.

After the Duke of Qing was tied into a sieve, the imperial doctor slowly prescribed the medicine.

If medical ethics hadn't limited him, he would have stabbed this dirty thing to death.

This is really unreasonable!

As soon as Duke Qing Guo's side stabilized, the mother-in-law's roar came from the bedroom, "Madam, Madam, what are you going to do! Someone, Madam has committed suicide!"

The imperial doctor had just taken a breath and heard He said that his wife had committed suicide and ran over quickly.

Privately, he felt more sorry for Mrs. Qingguo and treated her more seriously.

The Duke of Qing's wife committed suicide by hanging from a beam. Fortunately, she was discovered by her mother-in-law, so it did not cause a catastrophe.

Such a thing has happened, so naturally we can't hide it from the madam's natal family.

So the mother-in-law quickly sent someone to report the news to Zheng Xina.

Zheng Xi had just left the court and had not even had time to take off his official uniform, so he hurried over.

On the way, the servant told him the whole story.

Zheng Xi was so angry that she clenched her fists, but she also knew that her sister's move was a surefire way to pull the trigger, and she could put Duke Qing into a situation that was beyond redemption with just one move.

Although the reputation spread out is a bit unpleasant, but if it were not so, would we still be waiting for Qing Guogong to continue to use evil tricks to disturb the family?

Zheng Xi had a plan in mind, so he naturally had to cooperate with his sister.

When they arrived at the Qingguo Palace, Zheng Xi looked like he couldn't bear the humiliation and lost his temper in front of everyone.

It is very scary for a person who always greets people with a smile to suddenly lose his temper.

Therefore, Zheng Xi took his sister away from the Qingguo Palace as a matter of course.

Returning to his own house, Zheng Xi wrote a note directly. The brother and sister went through the unspeakable past of Qing Guo Gong. Their core goal was one: to request an order and divorce.

After seeing Duke Qing, the imperial physician also returned to the palace to report to the emperor.

He wanted to keep secret about the patient's condition, but the target did not include the emperor.

For such a big matter, Mr. Zheng will definitely not let it go. If he conceals it, won't he have to wait for the emperor to question him?

After Yuan Xiu heard the imperial doctor explain this matter, he received a note from Zheng Xi in the evening.

When he talked about this with Lin Xuezhu, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Mrs. Qing Guo Gong is decisive and ruthless in her actions. If it weren't for her son, she would be a well-known wife in the capital."

Yuan Xiu agreed, "It is not easy for a person with such a heart to endure Qing Guo Gong until today. Lin Xuezhu said: "

I heard that Duke Qing Guo is unwilling to reconcile with Duke Qing Guo's wife. She is making all kinds of troubles these days in order to quickly break off the relationship with Duke Qing Guo." Now that she has done this, Mr. Zheng has also come to an end. How do you plan to deal with it? "

" Of course, he ordered them to reconcile on the grounds that Duke Qing was acting ridiculously," Yuan Xiu said coldly.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "In this way, we can be considered as saving the Duke of Qing's wife from the sea of ​​fire."

Yuan Xiu said: "My wife has always worked for the welfare of women in the world. In the past, I just let my wife do what she wanted to do. Now it seems that women It's not easy, and they really need someone to help them. I'm very happy to be able to do this with my wife."

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "I am lucky to meet my husband. Another person may not be able to do these things. "

Although the sentence is short, it comes from the heart.

She rarely said thank you to Yuan Xiu, but today, she expressed her gratitude.

The couple talked for a while and then fell asleep peacefully.

On the other side, the Qingguo Duke's Mansion was in chaos.

Duke Qing, who had been sleeping for a whole day, was finally awakened by the cries of a group of warblers and swallows in the back house.

He shook his head, which was still confused, and felt an unbearable tearing pain in his lower body.

He groaned in pain, and his consciousness gradually returned, remembering some ridiculous memories.

Him, and two boys?

"Where are those two beasts?" Duke Qing struggled to get up.

He was filled with resentment and wanted to kill those two people with a thousand knives.

No matter what, you can't handle such a simple thing well.

As a result, he was assassinated, and now he looks like a human and a ghost.

"Master, those two little beasts were imprisoned in the woodshed, just waiting for the master to wake up and be punished." A middle-aged lady with heavy makeup said.

Duke Qing glanced at this aunt.

If he remembered correctly, this aunt was once the eldest girl who served him, and he had secretly taken her into the room before his wife came in.

At that time, he was just bored and wanted to find someone to relieve his boredom.

Later, there were more and more people in the back house, and he had long forgotten this aunt.

Duke Qing's eyes searched for her sweetheart in the crowd.

The old lady knew what he meant and said, "She fainted from crying. I asked someone to send her back."

Qing Guo Gong thought that the young man was feeling sorry for him, so he didn't say anything more and struggled to hold himself up . After that, he asked: "Where is that bitch of the Zheng family?"

"Madam was brought back to the Zheng Mansion by Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng was very angry and got angry before leaving." The old lady said.

Zheng Guogong was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to yell.

But when he exerted force, his lower body hurt as if he had been stabbed.

After breathing heavily for a long time, Duke Qing waved his hand weakly, "You all go down."

"You stay." He glanced at the old lady.

Chapter 784 What made him even more angry was yet to come.

Except for the old lady, all the aunts took people out.

Qing Guogong looked at this former eldest girl and asked uncertainly: "What is your name?"

"It's true, sir." The old lady showed an angry expression and said somewhat artificially: "My name is Bage. , Master, have you forgotten? I personally gave this name to my concubine."

Qing Guo Gong almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Myna, was he really the one who gave such an unpleasant name?

He recalled for a moment, and remembered that when this girl was assigned to serve him, the house had indeed just bought a few starlings.

Knowing that this girl was used by the old lady to teach him about human affairs, he jokingly renamed her Bago, implying that she was just his plaything.

Well, he was young too.

Duke Qing Guo took another look at Ba Ge's shy but unattractive expression, and sighed deeply in his heart.

The wife is not here, and the little guy can't take care of things, so he must keep this myna busy.

"Call those two little beasts over here." Qing Guogong said.

"I'll go right away." Brother Bage said, and ordered the boy to call someone, and at the same time, he also asked someone to call the doctor over.

The imperial doctor was personally preparing medicine for Duke Qing in the backyard. The prescription was prescribed by the imperial doctor.

With the imperial doctor here, he, the imperial doctor, has no use.

To show his loyalty, he took the initiative to take the responsibility of brewing medicine.

Hearing that the master was awake, he quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

After some inspection, he vaguely said a few words to comfort the master, and then went back to boil the medicine.

The imperial doctor said that the medicine used by the master this time was too strong, and he was afraid that it would damage his roots.

Even if he recovers in the future, he will definitely lose his glory.

Hey, after finishing this pot of medicine, I'd better find an excuse to run away.

In case the master becomes abnormal in the future and his life will be difficult.

In the main room, Duke Qing was sitting on the couch, and two young men were kneeling on the floor.

The two boys' pants were all stained with blood, their faces were pale, and they didn't look much better than Duke Qing.

And because no one was treating them, their wounds were still bleeding.

Especially the handsome boy, who had fainted several times.

Before being brought here, he had just been splashed with water to wake him up.

Duke Qing sent Bago out, leaving only him and two boys.

After some questioning, he found out the whole story.

After the handsome young man climbed over the wall and entered the madam's yard, he was plotted against and brought to the madam in front of him.

The evil woman next to his wife slapped him from left to right and gave him countless slaps. He couldn't bear it anymore, so she told Duke Qing Guo's plan in full.

After hearing Duke Qing's plan, the lady said nothing, she just threw him in the corner and continued to tie him up.

Later, even Duke Qing's confidant was tricked in the same way.

The lady asked him to learn how to bark three times, and then she knocked him unconscious.

When he wakes up, it's time to have a frank meeting with Duke Qing...

Hearing this, Duke Qing just felt uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hand to interrupt the boy's words. He had already thought about the whole thing clearly.

He was plotted by his wife.

The drug he gave to the handsome boy was probably used on them.

Others didn't know, but he and his confidant knew how heavy the drug was.

Originally, he plotted against his wife and had no intention of leaving her a way to survive.

The woman in the inner house had a private meeting with the boy, and also used a heavy dose of intoxicating drugs.

Once this matter is revealed, not only can the wife be divorced smoothly, but the wife will also have a despicable reputation, and even her mother's family will be affected by her.

Unexpectedly, he left no way for her to survive, and it ended up being his own death.

Although Duke Qing wanted to report her to the government and have the woman arrested, tortured, or submerged in a pig cage and submerged in a pond, he wanted her to die.

But can this matter be reported to the official?

If we really want to find out, he asked his confidant to buy the drug. He was also the one who played with the two boys all night long, but he had nothing to do with the woman.

If he wanted to avenge himself, he had to admit the fact that he wanted to murder his wife.

In that case, it is not yet known how the woman will be punished, but he has broken the law first and his reputation has been ruined.

Qing Guo Gong thought for a while, called Bago in, and talked about this, this, and that.

Myna was listening in the corner just now and knew that the master was stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Now that she heard what the master told her, she seemed very happy on the surface, but actually she despised this old guy in her heart.

When she was young, as the eldest girl in the master's house, she knew early on that her destiny was to be his aunt.

She was somewhat pretty, and it was not like she had never dreamed of living a good life from now on.

Unexpectedly, the master only regarded her as a plaything to pass time and vent his animal desires. After he got a new man, he abandoned her.

On the contrary, Madam, since entering the house, she has only been treated as air, and she has never felt sorry for her.

She doesn't hate the madam, but she has a grudge against the master.

She stood up today just to have the impression of sharing the master's worries.

She has been in the house the longest, even longer than Madam, and she should stand up for both emotions and reasons.

If she could really take care of her master's worries, she might be able to live a good life.

But she didn't expect that she could hear such a dirty thing.

She almost vomited out her overnight meal.

I thought the master was just a bit lecherous and unfeeling, but I didn't expect him to be so dirty and cruel!

However, although she was disgusted, she had no intention of biting Duke Qing back.

After all, she lives in this mansion and will still have to rely on Duke Qing to make a living in the future.

So, she sent someone, wrote a pleading, and ran to the government to report the crime.

It was written very clearly on the petition that two young men in the Qingguo Duke's mansion had the habit of Longyang. In order to seek wealth, they set their sights on the Qingguo Duke.

Drugging Qing Guo Gong, causing Qing Guo Gong's physical damage.

Although the Duke of Qing's government could kill these two boys, the matter would be detrimental to their reputation. The Duke of Qing did not want to bear such a stigma for nothing, so he planned to hand these two boys over to the government. deal with.

When the governor of Jingzhao saw this piece of paper, everyone almost stopped laughing.

I only heard that some maids used tricks to seduce their masters in order to climb high.

I have never heard that the young man has the habit of Longyang and dares to drug his master.

If the maid gets her master's trick and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, and then supports her aunt, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

What can the boy get by doing this?

Do you think you have a long life?

It seems that Duke Qing's mind was not only damaged by taking medicine, but also his brain.

After reading the petition, the governor of Jingzhao wrote a reply, saying that it was such a scandal that it was not appropriate to publicize it, and it would be better for Duke Qing to deal with it quietly to avoid making people laugh.

When the approval came into the hands of Duke Qing, he was almost so angry that he went to heaven.

However, what made him even more angry was yet to come.

Chapter 785: The sweetheart committed suicide.

Just when Duke Qing was angry that Jingzhao Mansion ignored him, the imperial edict was issued.

The Duke of Qing had no choice but to ask Bage to help him dress up neatly and go to receive the order with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The eunuch who delivered the order was a junior eunuch under Duke Quan. Seeing Duke Qing like this, he felt as if he had been sucked dry overnight, and felt a little frightened.

He wanted to finish reading the imperial edict quickly and leave this hellish place.

The imperial edict is very simple. The main idea is that Mr. Zheng Xi, the Duke of Qing, behaved inappropriately, behaved frivolously, and had bad relations with the servants in the palace. As a relative, the lintel of the Zheng family has also been stained by him. Please show mercy to the Emperor and grant Qing the Kingdom. The duke and his wife reconciled and separated, and the emperor granted permission.

The emperor not only granted permission, but also allowed the Duke of Qing to take care of his son.

In other words, regardless of whether the legitimate son will inherit the title in the future, he will live with his mother.

This imperial edict, word for word, exposed Duke Qing's dirty deeds without any cover-up. Hearing this, Duke Qing's already fragile heart was even closer to collapse.

Shame, it's really too shameful.

If the Duke of Qing had not been supported by his Eight Brothers, he almost couldn't get up.

After the young eunuch announced the decree, he even confiscated the money given by the Duke of Qing to thank him, and left in a hurry.

If he stayed in this dirty place for a second longer, he would feel unclean.

Duke Qing felt dizzy and ran to the bedroom to lie down.

At this moment, he had no energy at all.

But the aunts in each room felt the crisis.

The master has failed, the scandal has spread throughout the capital, and even the emperor knows about it.

What good results will a person who is rejected by the emperor have in the future?

Among the aunts, those who still have connections with their mother's family are planning to return to their mother's house.

Those who have no means can still find ways to sell jewelry and ornaments. If you can make some money, try to make as much money as possible.

In short, they are secretly planning a way out for themselves.

The Duke of Qing was confused and there was no mistress or director at home, so he was naturally unaware of the little actions of his aunts.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone from the Zheng family came to take away the dowry of Mrs. Qing Guo. They also brought a handprinted letter of departure.

Duke Qing was still resisting, but the visitor only asked him one sentence, "Mr. Qing, do you want to resist the decree?"

Duke Qing suddenly became short of breath and pressed his fingerprints obediently.

Seeing his wife's dowry being carried away in boxes, his heart almost bleeds.

After the divorce procedures were completed, Mrs. Zheng took her son to live in her parents' home An Xin, and had nothing to do with the Duke of Qing.

As for whether Qing Guo Gong should abolish the direct line and establish a concubine, that is his problem.

After going through so much trouble, Mrs. Zheng just wanted to live a stable life with her dowry and divorce and her son.

As for half of the Qingguo Duke's family property, it was not something she had to consider from the beginning.

She just learned the Queen's way of dealing with people, negotiating conditions with others, and if she wanted to get five points, she had to ask for ten points, and she had to give people room for bargaining.

This trick really works.

At this time, the back house of the Qingguo Duke's mansion was controlled by Bago.

She wasn't too concerned and was planning her own way out.

Some aunts were originally servants, but after becoming concubines, they were also despicable concubines, and the deeds of sale were still in the Qingguo Duke's palace.

If these people want to leave the house, they must take back the deed of betrayal.

If they ask for help from Bage, as long as they pay money, Bago will accommodate them.

Relying on this, Bago also saved himself a lot of money.

But her life was more comfortable than the years when she became Qingguo's concubine.

On the other hand, concubines with better backgrounds are not so easy to escape.

Madams can make peace with each other, but as concubines, they don't get this kind of treatment.

People cannot leave, but gold and silver can.

They have given their money to their trusted confidants or family members and asked them to help them buy a home.

Just like this, 20% of the Qingguo Duke's family fortune was lost.

Myna took advantage and turned a blind eye to these things.

When she met someone who wanted to report in front of Duke Qing, she would stop him because he was in poor health.

Duke Qing had rested for a while and felt better, so he recruited his sweetheart.

And that little sweetie, who was originally obsessed with admiring the master, now looks at him and thinks he is dirty and disgusting.

But she couldn't show it, she had to act modest and submissive.

Duke Qing Guo originally planned to flex his muscles and regain his glory, but unexpectedly, he felt powerless before he even started, and his mood suddenly became gloomy.

He has no other hobbies in his life. His only hobby is female sex. If he can't play with women, what fun does he have in living!

Duke Qing was unhappy, so he started torturing Xing Gan, which made him cry all night. When he left the next day, his face was pale and pale.

Seeing this scene, the remaining concubines in the mansion accelerated their pace of arranging an escape route for themselves.

Then, the neglected Qingguo Duke's Palace welcomed its first guest since its loss of power - the matchmaker who served as a matchmaker between Anguo Duke's Palace and Qingguo Duke's Palace.

The wedding date of the two families has been decided, so there is no need for a matchmaker.

It's definitely not a good thing for her to come to the door at this time.

What's more, she brought a lot of stuff with her.

Seeing the betrothal gift sent before being returned unchanged, Qing Guo Gong didn't understand anything.

Is the marriage between the two families broken up?

This incident hit Duke Qing so hard that he immediately asked in disbelief: "What does Duke An mean?"

The matchmaker accepted Duke An's money, so she naturally tried her best.

She said: "Mr. Qingguo, you can't blame Lao An Guo Gong for this matter. You have done such a thing, which daughter of a good family dares to marry into Qing Guo Gong's house? Lao An Guo Gong is not here for you If something goes wrong, I will give you a lot of face by canceling the engagement. Now we can negotiate and settle the matter. As for the impact on Miss An Guo's reputation, Old An Guo Gong will not worry about it. "

Listening to this, Duke Anguo not only wants to cancel the engagement, but also blame him, right?

What a joke, who did he do all this for, and who was behind it?

Without An Guogong's advice, how could he be where he is today?

After hearing what Duke Qing said, the matchmaker said: "Old Duke An said that if you had listened to him in everything, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Don't blame him, he is the person in the world who least wants you to ruin your reputation. ."

These words blocked all Qing Guogong's thoughts in his throat.

The matchmaker dropped the betrothal gift, took back the Geng Tie exchanged between the two parties, and left.

Only Qing Guo Gong was left in the room going crazy, "Everyone pushed down the wall, okay, okay! You are not afraid of retribution, just wait and see!"

Qing Guo Gong was incompetent and furious for a while, and then left. His little sweetheart's yard.

How depressed he is outside is how crazy he is inside.

His favorite aunt in the past, whom he called his sweetheart, is now the one who suffers the most.

After doing this several times, one night when he couldn't bear it anymore, he committed suicide and hung himself on the head of Duke Qing.

Chapter 786: Duke Qing is Demented.

Duke Qing had been struggling all night. When he woke up in the morning, his vision was not very clear.

In the blur, I seemed to see a pair of small white feet hanging above my head.

He rubbed his eyes and stared up.

Above the feet are a pair of white legs covered with bruises, followed by a thin gauze lining.

Duke Qing found it refreshing.

What kind of novelty are you trying to show him?

He sat up and was about to speak when he suddenly came face to face with the woman's pale face, her bulging eyeballs, and her tongue hanging out.

Duke Qing was trembling with excitement. He had never seen such an exciting scene in his life.

He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out.

He lost his voice.

The bedroom door opened, and the maid guarding the door saw her master with his mouth wide open and a look of fear and ferocity on his face.

The maid subconsciously glanced into the room and saw her hanged aunt.

The maid screamed and ran out of the yard, following Duke Qing.

The Duke of Qing's Mansion was once again in chaos.

This time, it can be described as everyone is in danger.

In the panic, no one noticed that Duke Qing fainted in the corner of the courtyard.

Duke Qing lay alone for almost a whole day, and was not woken up by the cold until the middle of the night.

When he woke up, he found that he couldn't move his whole body.

I wanted to call someone, but my voice was weak.

What's more, even if he could make a sound, almost no one in the house could hear it.

Bage, the housekeeper, issued contracts of betrayal to all the servants who wanted to spend money to escape. The main idea was to use the resources of the Qingguo Duke's government to sell their favors.

Except for the children of Duke Qing, there are almost no others who have not left the Duke of Qing's mansion.

And his children were either too frightened by their aunt's death to leave the house, or they had nothing to do with themselves and hid away to avoid trouble, and they refused to come to the yard where Duke Qing Guo fainted.

In the end, Duke Qing was discovered by his favorite concubine, his careless son.

He was here to take care of his mother's funeral. After finally finishing his work in the front yard, he returned to the backyard to pack things, only to find that Duke Qing had fainted.

It should be said that no one was surprised that the aunt died and Qing Guo Gong did not show up all day long. This was all because Qing Guo Gong was not a responsible head of the family in those days, let alone because of the death of a mere aunt. And come out to take charge of the overall situation.

Therefore, when he was not there, others just thought that he was hiding out and not wanting to take care of things, and no one thought of looking for him.

When Qing Guo Gong was carried back to the house by his concubine, he could no longer move.

The government doctor came to diagnose him and said he had a stroke, but fortunately it was not life-threatening.

As long as you take good care of yourself, eat on time, and given time, although you may not recover as before, you can still resume your activities.

The Duke of Qing has not yet completed the dethronement of his legitimate son and established his concubine, so his life is very important to his concubine.

In order to become the Duke of the country, the concubine had no choice but to serve the Duke of Qing all day long.

There were not many servants left in the family. After Bage learned that Duke Qing was ill, he also took the money and ran away.

The concubine intends to report to the official, but with so many servants running away, even if he wants to investigate, it cannot be completed in a short time.

What's more, if Qing Guo Gong doesn't do well with the emperor and empress, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is not willing to take care of Qing Guo Gong's affairs.

As long as no one is killed, it can be vague.

It's just a few servants, the "good days" of the Qingguo Palace are still to come.

In this way, the concubine took care of Duke Qing for several months without taking any clothes off.

I originally thought that when my father recovered from his illness, I could ask him to be the crown prince.

Once he has his identity, he will be able to take charge of the Qingguo Palace.

When the time comes, we will do something more to erect the lintel of Qingguo Duke's Mansion.

By turning the tide in this way, the Duke of Qing's reputation would be ruined because of his father, and everyone would admire him even more because of his difficult situation.

Duke Qing's health gradually improved under the concubine's careful care.

He regained some mobility and even occasionally spoke a few words.

However, the concubine discovered that his father's health seemed to be getting better, but his spirit seemed to be getting worse.

Not only does his eyes often wander, but he also occasionally talks crazy words.

When he is in good physical condition, he will do some unusual things.

The concubine felt that the situation was not good. Seeing that the doctor could not explain the problem, he invited famous doctors from all over to diagnose his father.

After seeing three famous doctors, they came to the conclusion that Duke Qing Guo was suffering from dementia.

The concubine seemed to be struck by five thunders.

Dementia means that even if Qing Guogong survives, he will be like a cripple.

Not only could he not lift up a pen to write, he could not even speak a normal sentence.

So, how can I go to court and ask him to be crown prince?

On the night when Qing Guogong was diagnosed, the concubine did not come to take care of him, and allowed him to relieve himself on the couch, even playing with it with his hands, and smearing it all over the walls and floor.

The next morning, Duke Qing's bedroom smelled terrible.

When the doctor brought the medicine in, he was so smoked that he vomited directly into the medicine bowl, then threw the bowl and ran out of the room.

At this time, the concubine of Duke Qing was summoning the clan elders and wanted to ask the clan elders to come forward and ask the court to appoint him as the heir apparent.

The clan elders have long been extremely disappointed with Duke Qing. They don't want to get involved in the bad things happening in Duke Qing's house, lest they implicate their younger generation Feng Ping.

Therefore, none of them took a stand on the concubine's whimsical suggestions.

The concubine was very anxious and said: "Patriarch, now the Qingguo Duke's mansion is in chaos, and there is an urgent need for a talker to take charge of the overall situation. My aunt has reconciled with my father, and my eldest brother has also gone to his parents' home with his aunt. Everyone in the mansion can run away. He ran away and his father was bedridden again. Now I am the only one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Duke of Qing. I also ask the clan leaders and elders to put the overall situation first and elect me as the heir apparent."

I heard this. The elders all sneered.

The Duke of Qing was neither talented nor virtuous, and this concubine had no other talents except for being favored by his mother.

How could he boast so boldly that he could shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Duke of Qing?

Everyone had different looks, which made the concubine confused.

It's not that he didn't know that the clan elders didn't like him and his mother.

But for this plan, besides him, who else is willing to get involved in the mess that is the Duke of Qing's Mansion?

If he is willing to stand up and take the lead, shouldn't these old men thank him?

Why are you still pushing and blocking one after another?

Is it possible that if he cannot inherit the title, it will be the descendants of these old guys?

What a joke!

The concubine wanted to say something more, so he heard the patriarch say: "Please ask the Duke of Qing to come forward to establish the crown prince. We old guys have neither official positions nor titles, how can we talk to the court? You To say so is to think too highly of us."

The concubine was extremely speechless, "If my father could act like a normal person, this matter would naturally not bother the clan elders. But things must be done urgently. My dad is still ill, so I came to see the clan elders." They came forward. The situation is special, even the emperor should understand. "

Chapter 787 We can't let such idiots occupy high positions.

Faced with such ignorant remarks from a bastard, the clan elders all laughed.

Although the Qingguo Duke's mansion is in a special situation, who said that the emperor should be able to understand their special situation?

The emperor is the king of a country. In the emperor's eyes, the Qingguo Duke's Mansion is like a sesame seed on rice, dispensable.

Not to mention that it was just a mere heir apparent, even if the Duke of Qing's palace was destroyed, the emperor would not even blink an eye.

The concubine has no knowledge and cannot even understand this. He still wants to shoulder the heavy burden of the Duke of Qing.

I'm afraid that after he takes office, the Duke of Qing will be defeated even faster!

The patriarch stood up and said: "Things in the world are not as you imagine. As an elder, I would like to advise you not to have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. If you take good care of Duke Qing and gain a reputation as a filial piety, maybe something will happen." Opportunity. But if you go astray, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

After saying that, the clan leader walked away.

The clan elders also stood up one after another, ignoring the concubine's pleading eyes, and followed the clan elders away.

When everyone had left, the concubine spat on the ground angrily and said, "A bunch of old, short-sighted guys!"

He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how he could get the title.

In the past, he could have gone to seek help from Duke An.

But now, his marriage to the concubine of Duke An Guo has been called off, and Duke An Guo has no intention of getting involved with Duke Qing.

If he sticks to it now, I'm afraid people won't care about him.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't find anyone to turn to.

The concubine once again fixed his eyes on Duke Qing.

Others can't, but Duke Qing can definitely do it.

Although he could not attend the ceremony in person, he could leave his last words.

As long as he stated in his last words that the title would be passed on to him, he might be able to fight for it after his death.

The concubine was so happy that he quickly ran to Duke Qing's study to find his handwriting and imitate it.

However, he searched for a long time and couldn't find anything with words on it.

His father neither likes reading nor writing.

The books in the study were all for arty purposes. In fact, he had never read any of them, let alone written any annotations.

The bastard was almost dying of anxiety.

It is really rare to meet someone who has lived for decades without writing a single word.

The concubine had no choice but to try his luck in his mother's room.

It was also his luck that he found a love poem written by Duke Qingguo to his sweetheart.

The wording of this love poem was very explicit, which made the concubine blush and her heart beat fast. She quickly folded it and put it in an envelope.

That night, he found a scholar who made a living by imitating handwriting, and gave him his love poems and his suicide note.

The scholar promised to finish it in three days, and the concubine went home satisfied as if a stone had settled in his heart.

He did not go to see Qing Guo Gong, although the government doctor informed him of Qing Guo Gong's condition.

His heart was full of resentment, hating his father for not doing things smoothly and leaving such a big mess for him.

The elders of the Hate clan looked down upon him and refused to speak for him.

He hated Duke Anguo for being snobbish, so he broke off the relationship with him when there was no profit to be gained.

I also hate that my mother doesn't live up to expectations and commits suicide easily if she can't hope for a good life.

All of this has led to his current isolation.

Only by inheriting the title can the hatred in his heart be relieved.

So he thought that as long as he left his father there and ignored him, he would be dead within a few days.

When the time came, after the suicide note had been written, he took it to the government office to sort out the affairs of the Duke.

When he holds great power, he must make everyone who offends him pay the price!

In the next few days, things developed just as Shuzi expected.

Duke Qing was locked in a room and deprived of food and medicine. After struggling for two days, he was dying and finally passed away quietly one night.

At the urging of the concubine, the scholar imitated the handwriting of Duke Qing and wrote his suicide note.

While the concubine spent money to find someone to organize his father's funeral, he went to Jingzhao Prefecture with his suicide note.

The governor of Jingzhao received the suicide note and sent him away, saying that he wanted to ask for instructions.

In the Qingguo Palace, the people who received money to organize the funeral were almost sick to death.

Although they had done many strange long-term and short-term jobs, they had never seen a body soaked in feces and urine.

The room of Duke Qing was absolutely stinky. The feces and urine accumulated for several days had fermented, and the smell could kill a cow.

Everyone blocked their noses with cloths and managed to tidy up Duke Qing.

However, after many days of soaking, Duke Qing's whole body was smelled of feces and urine.

Even though the whole body was washed with water, there was still a slight smell coming out of the coffin when he was buried.

This resulted in the entire mourning hall exuding a vague stench.

No matter how desolate the Qingguo Duke's residence was, there were still a few relatives who had to come to express condolences.

Everyone was surprised when they smelled it.

If something good happens, just ask.

The funeral rites were all hired by the concubine at temporary expense, so there was no loyalty to the master's family.

Someone took a few big bucks and told the story of Duke Qing's death.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The matter of Duke Qing soon spread in the capital.

Before the funeral was announced, word reached the palace.

Lin Xuezhu just sneered after hearing this, and said to Luo Hong: "The Duke of Qing dislikes his legitimate son in every possible way, and feels that his legitimate son is mentally retarded, which damages the reputation of his Qing Duke's palace. But he doesn't want to think about it, leaving his wife and legitimate son alone. , what they get is what they deserve, and at least they will not harm him. As a concubine, if you want to get something that does not belong to you, you must use extraordinary means. In the final analysis, the life of Duke Qing is his own. "

It's your own fault." Luo Hong couldn't help but sigh, "It's hard for such a stupid person to hold the title of Duke."

Lin Xuezhu said: "If you are an ordinary person, mediocrity may not be fatal to your power. To a certain extent, mediocre people are no longer allowed to exist. What's more, Duke Qing is not only mediocre, he is simply a fool. The emperor and I cannot allow such fools to be in high positions, so we are determined to deal with them. Your Excellency. Since survival of the fittest is a law of nature, it must be allowed to happen naturally. The Lordship system is artificially interfering with the laws of nature and will definitely cause harm to this country."

Although Luo Hong did not understand the "survival of the fittest" the queen said. , but I can probably understand why the emperor and empress did what they did.

She glanced at Lin Xuezhu with admiration, then lowered her head again.

The Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture was not ambiguous after receiving the suicide note from the concubine of the Duke of Qing.

Naturally, it cannot be as inconsequential as a few servants running away when it comes to the Duke's palace.

After the governor of Jingzhao verified the suicide note, he wrote a note and presented it to Yuan Xiu.

After Yuan Xiu read it, he casually marked the word "read" to show his agreement.

Chapter 788: Final Chapter:

The concubine of Duke Qing never expected that he would successfully inherit the title just by making a fake suicide note.

The concubine was so happy that he almost danced in the mourning hall of Duke Qing.

Then, he didn't care about his old father's funeral at all, and only thought about how to let the whole capital know that he had inherited the title.

After much deliberation, the first thing he did was to send someone to Duke Anguo's Mansion to reveal the news.

He wanted Duke An to regret that he had looked down on him and thought he could not inherit the title, so he canceled the marriage between the two families.

However, An Guogong's reaction to the news was very dull.

The lintel of the Qingguo Duke's Mansion is becoming more and more dilapidated. This is something that cannot be reversed by the concubine.

The building was about to collapse, and he didn't believe that the bastard could turn the tide.

Therefore, he does not regret breaking off the engagement, and is even a little glad that his decision was wise.

The messenger returned to the Duke of Qing's mansion to deliver the message, which disappointed the concubine.

But he quickly cheered up. Since Duke Qing was short-sighted, he wanted to make him completely regret it.

Just when the concubine was having his own whims, at the court meeting, he heard that the concubine, the Duke of Shenqing, abused his father as a crime of unfilial piety and requested that his title be revoked.

After Yuan Xiu heard this, he asked the governor of Jingzhao to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The governor of Jingzhao quickly found a few people who handled the funeral for Duke Qing, and learned from them that after Duke Qing's death, people were soaked in piles of feces and urine, and the room was full of filth and stunk. .

They had never seen a person die so dirty and miserably.

The governor of Jingzhao conducted further investigations and found out the scholar who helped the concubine forge the handwriting of Duke Qing.

The scholar explained everything.

Finally, the governor of Jingzhao presented the entire case file to Yuan Xiu.

For the crime of unfilial piety and deceiving the emperor, the concubine was sentenced to death. At the same time, the title that had been awarded to him was also withdrawn.

There is no heir to the title of Qing Guo Gong, so one can only choose one of the sons of the late Qing Guo Gong to inherit the title.

However, some of these sons ran away with their aunt, and some, although they were still in the palace, did not dare to inherit this hot title.

In the end, only the legitimate son was left.

After going round and round, the title of Duke of Qing still fell on his legitimate son.

Only he, with his mother's family to rely on, could temporarily secure this title.

Everyone in the capital lamented that the late Duke Qing had gone through a lot of troubles, but he did not change the heir to the title. Instead, his family was ruined and his death was miserable.

However, despite the example of Duke Qing, among noble families, it is inevitable that a concubine would have the idea to inherit the title instead of his legitimate son.

After all, before risks, people always see benefits first.

The dispute between the legitimate concubines and elders began within the Xungui family.

Some relatively sober people realized that the emperor issued this decree to encourage the Xungui family to make progress and began to pay attention to the education and training of their descendants.

As for those who are still stubborn and only focus on immediate interests, the court will let them fight and let them fight to the death, thus starting to decline their family fortunes.

This wave of survival of the fittest, although the timeline is very long, has indeed achieved its goal.

Cooperating with the selection of officials through the imperial examination, and the staff led by Lin Chengzhang, which played an important role in the recommendation, appointment and dismissal of officials, the court ushered in a round of major reshuffles, and the most capable people were truly appointed.

Of course, after their power was weakened, there were also some officials who were unwilling to join forces and wanted to cause rebellion, but they were all suppressed by the emperor and empress who held military and financial power.

In ten years, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu implemented the New Deal, appointed talented people, encouraged reform and innovation in all walks of life, and transformed the entire country.

After Yuan Xiu had been in power for fifteen years, he passed the throne to Yuan Chongyu, and he happily became the supreme emperor.

In the first enke of Yuan Chongyu's ascension to the throne, women were allowed to take part in the imperial examinations, and those with the best rankings would be promoted to official positions.

From then on, women officially entered the court, participated in state affairs, and displayed their ambitions.

Not only that, outstanding women have emerged from all walks of life, and some are even recorded in the annals of history. They are not known for their beauty and virtuousness, but for their talents, learning and character...

On a bright and clear spring day, Yuan Chongyu and his queen stood in the spring. At the entrance of the Hua Palace, looking at the three busy people inside, I felt very helpless.

After he ascended the throne, he only ruled for a year, and his father, the emperor, and his mother began to pack their luggage and prepare to travel out of the palace. , even my sister Xi Le wants to go with her.

Yuan Chongyu took a deep breath and raised his voice and said: "Father, the emperor, mother, the child has only been on the throne for a year, and the political power is not yet stable. I still need the father, the emperor, and the empress to give me some advice. Please stay in the palace temporarily and help." Help the child."

The last sentence was very humble.

As a result, his father ignored him at all.

The queen mother, on the other hand, stopped packing her things and walked over to him with a happy face.

He said: "Son, you have been married for two years and have not yet given birth to any children. After today, you and your wife will be the only ones in the palace. This matter is not urgent, but you have to remember this. Don't forget it in a hurry. "Ah!"

Yuan Chongyu's face was full of black lines, "My father and mother only have two children, a son and a sister. Why should the mother worry about the child's heirs?

" It will induce birth, right?

Lin Xuezhu said indifferently: "It is precisely because your father and I don't have many heirs that I ask you to hold on tight. If you don't want to have children, don't worry, find a reliable successor as soon as possible. Your father and I have worked hard Don't let the country we conquer fall to your hands."

Yuan Chongyu was speechless and glanced at the queen beside him.

He can't say he likes or dislikes his wife. It can be said that he respects her as a guest.

He is not concerned about the affairs between men and women, but as a monarch, he cannot live without a queen. This is his obligation.

And this queen was also carefully selected by her parents. She was a woman raised by a wealthy family. She did a good job in managing the harem and responsibilities as a queen.

Yuan Chongyu felt that this was enough.

He doesn't need the vigorous love of his parents, as long as he has someone who can stay with him for the rest of his life and jointly perform the duties of an emperor and empress, that's fine.

Just because he doesn't care about love doesn't mean he doesn't care about the queen.

Therefore, when he saw the shy look on the queen's reddish face, he used his eyes to signal his mother to stop talking.

Lin Xuezhu is nearly forty years old and has not changed his outgoing personality, but he is not ignorant of propriety.

Seeing her son's signal, she patted her son's shoulder meaningfully and said, "Chongyu, this country is handed over to you."

After saying that, regardless of the expression on her son's face, she ran back to the house and continued to clean up. Baggage is gone.

Yuan Chongyu and the queen looked at each other and knew that they could not stay, so they had no choice but to give up.

Early the next morning, a low-key carriage slowly set off from the palace gate, facing the dim light of the morning, and gradually drove away from the imperial city.
