How to Raid the Queen

After Tao Yulin came down from the court today, he was very happy when he knew that his son was called to the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the emperor, so he finally stopped kneeling in front of the ancestral hall.Mrs. Tao saw that his face was full of joy, and after sweeping away the haze of the previous few days, she dared to ask a few questions.

"The master seems to be in a good mood today, is there anything good?"

Tao Yulin held his breath, and just said: "Go ask the kitchen to add some dishes, and ask someone to go to the wine cellar to take out the jar of 20-year-old Huadiao wine, and I will have a drink or two with him later. "

Although Mrs. Tao didn't know what good things happened, but looking at the satisfied expression on Tao Yulin's face and the jar of wine he just ordered, she thought that Tao Xianzhi was going to be promoted, and she was immediately happy Very, repeated responses came down.

As for why you are so happy, it is actually very simple.Recently, being ignored by Jing Wenhao for a few days, Tao Yulin always wondered if he had done everything properly and lost his sacred heart.But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I have always done what that person explained with all my heart, and I dare not be sloppy. The only reasonable reason I can think of in the end is that I am getting old.Now the court seems to be stable on the surface, and Daqi is also thriving as a whole, but in fact it is strong outside and inside out.The court is full of unpredictable changes and turmoil. I am afraid that the old man who dislikes himself will not be able to make any big moves.But even so, he has nothing to complain about. There were two prime ministers in the Daqi dynasty, but now he is only appointed as the left prime minister.Being an official is nothing to ask for.

But today the emperor suddenly let his son go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters, or in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this is really a great honor.Thinking of this, Tao Xiang felt even happier, and stopped Mrs. Tao who was about to go out.

"Go find those supplements in the warehouse, such as ginseng and deer antler, and send them all to Xianzhi's yard. Let the tailor come over in a few days, and Xianzhi's child is also there. I haven't bought new clothes for two years. You, mother, don't help to pay attention."

Mrs. Tao felt that her son was going to have good luck just now. After Tao Yulin said this, she became more sure of her thoughts and left happily.

After coming out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Tao Xianzhi returned to the residence, and there was another imperial decree with him.

When Tao Yulin heard that Tao Xianzhi had brought back an imperial edict, he was overjoyed, and immediately took his wife and his party out to receive the edict.

So he knelt on the ground submissively, and heard the eunuch recite: "Following heaven, the emperor Zhao said: There is a son on the left, named Xianzhi, who has both ability and political integrity, and is outstanding in appearance. I am very happy. Today King Jing Wenzhao, At the age of nineteen, I have not yet married, and it is the right time to marry. Tao Xianzhi is specially appointed as the concubine of the King of England, and we will be married on an auspicious day." After reading an imperial decree, Prime Minister Tao's face was full of surprise, and he looked at it in disbelief. The father-in-law who read out the imperial decree looked at his son again.

Tao Xianzhi knelt on the ground without any surprise or rejection, raised his hands above his head, received the edict, then kowtowed three times heavily, and said: "My humble minister kowtows to thank the emperor."

Tao Yulin almost forgot to respond, it was Tao Xianzhi himself who ordered the emissary next to him, took out a bag of money and handed it to the one who announced the decree, and the group went back to the palace.

Tao Yulin was supported to stand up.He went forward to snatch the imperial decree, opened it and read it carefully, and confirmed that the content on it was to let his son marry without a doubt.Looking at the big seal on it again, it is indeed Jing Wenhao's jade seal.Trembling all over, he grabbed Tao Xianzhi's collar with one hand and asked angrily, "What's going on? Tell me, what's going on?"

On the way back to the mansion, Tao Xianzhi already knew what the scene would be like, let his father pull his collar, sighed slightly: "It's exactly what my father saw."

Tao Yulin didn't let it go, and fainted immediately.

Tao Xianzhi held his father in his arms so that he wouldn't fall to the ground, and shouted to the servant next to him, "What are you doing in a daze, go to the doctor quickly." After speaking, with the help of others, he carried his father back to the hospital. his room.

Mrs. Tao was also crying beside her at this time and was out of breath. She didn't know what to do, she just pulled Tao Yulin's sleeve and called, "Master, master." She occasionally stopped halfway and looked up at Tao Yulin. Xianzhi seemed to want to confirm something, but Tao Xianzhi remained silent, just standing aside silently, staring at his father who was lying on the bed.

Fortunately, the doctor came quickly. After the diagnosis, they were told not to worry, they were just out of breath.He prescribed a recuperation prescription, let them boil and feed Tao Yulin, and they would wake up within an hour.

Tao Xianzhi thanked the doctor, and asked the doctor to follow the doctor to grab the medicine.

Fortunately, Tao Yulin really woke up not long after.But looking at Tao Xianzhi's expression as if he saw an enemy, he shouted angrily: "Nizi."

Tao Xianzhi did not refute his father, but brought the medicine bowl over, hoping that his father would drink the medicine.Before Tao Yulin could reach the medicine bowl, he struggled and knocked it over.Tao Yulin lay on the bed with a painful expression, rolled over on one side, pointed at him, and asked, "Nizi, what the hell have you done?"

Tao Xianzhi picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and said to the servants next to him, "Go and make another bowl." Then he wiped his hands, and said to Father Tao, "As father saw, I am not very It is suitable for the court, so I asked the emperor to find an easy job."

When Father Tao heard this, he almost recited it without a breath, and repeatedly waved his hands to let him go.

Tao Xianzhi didn't want his father to get too excited, so he said, "Father took the medicine, but my son admitted his mistake, and after receiving the family law, he went to kneel in the ancestral hall."

After saying this, Tao Xianzhi went straight to the ancestral hall to ask for family law.

Tao Xianzhi's status in this family is second only to Tao Yulin. Now that Tao Yulin is lying on the hospital bed, Tao Xianzhi himself came out to ask for family law. They dare not move.

Tao Xianzhi said ruthlessly, "Hit."

The servant still didn't dare to move, and tremblingly said: "Young master, why don't you ask the master what he means."

"What if I can't be the master of this family now? If you don't fight, go to the accountant to pay two months' wages. My Tao family doesn't invite such people who don't listen to the master." Tao Xianzhi knelt on the futon, Straightened his spine.

The servant hesitated for a long time, and finally hit Tao Xianzhi's back with a whip.Tao Xianzhi was in pain, but bit his lip forcibly, not making a sound.

Fifty whips, what is the concept?The Tao family's family law has always been strict. When Tao Xianzhi made a mistake when he was a child, he lied to his wife. Tao Yulin beat him five times and almost killed him.So when Mrs. Tao knew that Tao Xianzhi had ordered fifty lashes, she cried and ran to the ancestral hall, threw herself on her son, and shouted, "Don't beat me, don't beat me. Your father is already dead. Come on, are you going to beat yourself to death like this?"

Listening to his mother's cries, Tao Xianzhi was filled with guilt, but he still stood up, and said to the surrounding people: "Pull Madam away, continue."

Mrs. Tao yelled: "Anyone who dares, get out of here." Mrs. Tao squatted beside Tao Xianzhi, patted her son's shoulder sadly, "What did I do wrong? You are a sinner, you know your father Temper, why do these things to torture people?"

"It's my son's fault." Tao Xianzhi's guilt that he had tried so hard to endure burst out at this moment. "It's the son who is sorry for the elder."

Mother and son hugged their heads and cried together.

Tao Xianzhi felt guilty.His mother only had two sons. The eldest son was talented and intelligent, but unfortunately he died young.When Tao Yulin was young, he also thought about having another son, but as if under some curse, Tao Xianzhi's successors were all daughters.Fortunately, Tao Xianzhi himself was up to the challenge, and he showed some talent since he was a child. He was also favored by the emperor, and he was selected into the palace to serve as a companion for the eldest prince.Tao Xianzhi carried almost all of Tao Yulin's hopes, but today, his hopes were killed by himself.

Tao Xianzhi thought, if he was a father, he would wish to kill such a wicked person with his own hands.

After this incident, Tao Xiang fell into a slump, claiming to be sick for several days and unable to go to court.And the news that Tao Xianzhi was going to marry the King of England as a princess spread across the streets and alleys overnight, and now everyone in the Tao family would be pointed at when they came out.

It has been two days since Jing Wenzhao came out of the palace, and Jing Wenzhao has not heard from Tao Xianzhi, and the place where the two of them passed the news was taken away again. This feeling of not being able to find anyone at all made Jing Wenzhao flustered.Finally, on the night of the third day, Jing Wenzhao came to the door with a group of subordinates, prepared two carts of rich gifts.

Tao Yulin was originally from Jing Wenhao's side. He didn't like the third prince when he was the grand tutor. He always felt that this man had a deep palace and vicious methods. If it was true that he would almost make him the emperor, the world Liming people are afraid that they will not be able to go anywhere.But in the blink of an eye, his son was going to marry such a person as his concubine.In addition to being disappointed at the beginning, Tao Yulin became more worried later on.After all, he is the child brought out by himself, no matter how much he is disappointed, it is still his heart.He was afraid that Jing Wenzhao would do something unfavorable to Tao Xianzhi because the marriage was bestowed by Jing Wenhao.

Reach out without hitting the smiling person, plus the identity of the person in front of you.Tao Yulin could only ask politely, "Why is the prince here today?"

Jing Wenzhao signaled his people to move the things in, and then said, "It's been a few days since the emperor bestowed the marriage, and I came to visit specially to show my sincerity."

Tao Yulin could only smile and welcome him into the door.
