Traitor, he is bent on death

Qin Xu clicked his tongue: "Hurry up and get out."

The lieutenant quickly led the horse and slipped away.

Qin Xu entered the Qiansui mansion as if he had entered the land of no one, and found Jiang Jintang's former residence with ease. Today the sun came out, and Jiu Qiansui was lying on a chair basking in the sun, like a lazy cat.

Shanyue saw Qin Xu, just about to say hello, Qin Xu waved his hand, moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Jintang: "The little emperor ordered you to ground your feet, but it kept you away from the outside world. I think you are very relaxed."

Jiang Jintang's face was shining white under the sun, but his eyelashes and long eyebrows were black. He raised his eyelashes, glanced at Qin Xu, and said, "What's wrong outside?"

"Speaking of this." Qin Xu said with great interest: "Yesterday, many adults who are loyal to the emperor and patriotism have already written thousands of words of manuscripts citing scriptures, and they are going to scold you in the Golden Temple. People complained about illness, and the little emperor backed away. They were so angry that they almost hit a pillar to die. If it weren't for my dynasty's rule of not admonishing and killing officials since the emperor Taizu, I think the little emperor looks like that. They should be dragged out one by one and chopped down."

Jiang Jintang lacked interest: "Every time they say they want to die, they have lived more comfortably than me in the past ten years."

Qin Xu said again: "Today, there was chaos in the courtroom. Fortunately, Gu Zhiyan proposed the matter of establishing a queen in time, which made the elders calm down, and began to persuade the emperor to spread out his branches and spread out his descendants... His Majesty is very angry today. , fortunately you stayed obediently and didn't go out, otherwise the fire might have spread on you."

"Then how is the discussion on the matter of Li Hou?" Jiang Jintang sat up a little bit, squinting at the red plum blossoms blooming not far away, and the flowers will not be in full bloom for a few days in Mengchun.

"The little emperor said that state affairs are the most important thing, and don't think about it for the time being. Several elders said that the emperor's affairs are all state affairs. The establishment of a queen will help stabilize the people's hearts and extend the incense. Anyway, there are any reasons. The little emperor is very troublesome, so he didn't say anything. I didn't say it was good, it was a bad break up."

Jiang Jintang imagined how Xuanlan would endure and tolerate the old men, and couldn't help laughing: "Who are the people appointed by the cabinet?"

Qin Xu said: "Coincidentally, when I came to your house today, there were people talking about it in the street, so I will take you out to listen to the opinions of the common people after their opposition?"

Jiang Jintang raised his eyelids: "General Qin, His Majesty punished me with grounding."

"Don't worry." Qin Xu said: "No one will find me when I come in, so I can take you out without anyone noticing."

……

Jiang Jintang felt that he really believed in Qin Xu's evil.

This man climbed up to the wall easily with his martial arts skills. Jiang Jintang stood by the wall, looked at the height, and said softly: "I still don't want to go, General Qin had a great time."

Qin Xu looked at him condescendingly, and said with a smile, "I forgot I'm still nine thousand years old."

He jumped down, said offended, and hugged Jiang Jintang's waist, but in the blink of an eye, he led him to the outside of the wall. General Qin's superb martial arts is not only good at killing enemies in battle, but also good at climbing other people's walls.

Jiang Jintang was put on the ground, still a little dizzy, and managed to regain his composure, but Qin Xu still had his arms around his waist: "... let go."

Qin Xu withdrew his hand and said, "I was afraid that you might not stand firmly... But you are too thin, and your waist is probably thinner than Zhao Yu."

Jiang Jintang said with a half smile, "General Qin was joking."

Qin Xu put his hands behind his back and said: "The little emperor is very cautious, his eagle whistle is all over the place, if you don't leave, you will be discovered."

Jiang Jintang put on the hood on the fox fur. Qin Xu's deputy general had already driven the carriage over. Just as Jiang Jintang was about to go up, Qin Xu stretched out his hand and said, "I'll help you."

"No need." Jiang Jintang looked down at General Qin's callused hands: "I can do it myself."

He grabbed the shaft and got into the carriage.

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows, retracted his hand, just bumped into the lieutenant winking at him, and mouthed, "This nine-thousand-year-old is harder to serve than a girl."

Qin Xu nodded approvingly.

The carriage drove to the busiest Rongchang Street, where there were countless small vendors on both sides of the street, and the entrance of a wonton shop was the busiest. The reason was that a scholar who had read some books talked about the emperor's selection of concubines on a whim while eating wontons.

Jiang Jintang lifted the curtain of the car to look over, and it happened that someone said loudly: "I heard that the candidate for the queen has been decided, and she is General Qin's sister!"

Jiang Jintang looked at Qin Xu: "So you still have the idea of ​​being Xuanlan's uncle."

Qin Xu snorted: "It's okay for Qin Chaoyu to enter the palace, but I'm afraid the little emperor won't be able to take it... Besides, she has a deep affection for you now, and she won't marry unless you are the only one. If I let her enter the palace, she can immediately hang herself in front of me." before."

Jiang Jintang regretted, "I think it's a good marriage."

Qin Xu said: "How much do you hate the little emperor?"

Jiang Jintang smiled and didn't answer.

Hearing the previous person's great opinion, the other person was immediately dissatisfied and said: "How could it be General Qin's sister? I heard that it is the daughter of the Lin family. This Lin family is the mother's family of the former empress dowager. Even if the daughter of the Lin family is the cousin of the current Holy Majesty, kiss her." Wouldn't it be nice to be married!"

Another person couldn't bear it anymore: "You are all listening to the gossip! The candidate for the empress is of course Miss Yin who is the most talented woman in the capital! Miss Yin is the cousin of His Royal Highness Prince An. What about the Queen's position?"

"Hahahaha Miss Yin can't do it. His Royal Highness Wang An is the emperor's uncle of the current emperor, and Miss Yin is the cousin of the current emperor. How can we make a pair here? They have crossed generations!"

"You're all wrong. If you want me to tell you, the choice of the empress depends on Jiuqiantui's intentions. Whoever Jiuqiantui chooses to be elected must be established. It's useless for others to say!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a moment of silence at first, and then there was a voice of approval.

Even these ordinary people know who is the real authority holder of the Daye Dynasty.

Hearing these discussions, Qin Xu smiled: "Although these people have never seen anything in the world, they do have some brains."

The queen's choice, isn't it that Jiuqiantui has the final say, whoever Jiuqiantui says the little emperor wants to marry, the little emperor has to marry, and he has to marry with a smile on his face and full of gratitude.

"Do you have a favorite candidate?" Qin Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Jintang: "Nine thousand years old."

"The Yin family is already so powerful that they can't produce another queen." Jiang Jintang supported his chest with one hand and said, "So Yin Zhixuan is definitely not allowed."

"Then Lin Shanfang is the only one left." Qin Xu put his arms behind his head, leaned against the wall of the car, and said, "But the Lin family is originally the mother's family of the former empress dowager, and they have old enemies with you. If Lin Shanfang enters the middle palace, yes It's bad for you."

Jiang Jintang indifferently looked at the market scenery outside, and said casually: "Lin Shanfang... is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is virtuous and generous, and has always had a good reputation, but he can be a future."

"Aren't you afraid that the little emperor will unite with the Lin family to deal with you?" Qin Xu looked at Jiang Jintang's picturesque profile, "The Lin family is originally one of the four great families, and if there is another queen, it will surely flourish, and the little emperor may not be able to control it. "

"Don't underestimate him." Jiang Jintang smiled: "After all, Xuan family's blood is flowing in his bones."

He put down the curtain, coughed twice, and said, "Go back."

Qin Xu ordered the lieutenant to return, and suddenly said to Jiang Jintang: "I always feel that your feelings for the little emperor are very complicated."

Jiang Jintang smiled and said, "The general thinks too much, I have no feelings for Xuan Lan."

Qin Xu's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't speak any more.

……

In the imperial study room, Xuan Lan looked at the portraits lined up in front of him, with a cold expression on his face, "What are these things?"

Wang Laifu respectfully said: "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the queen candidate sent by the cabinet, please have a look."

Xuan Lan glanced at it casually, and the one on the top was the portrait of Yin Zhixuan, known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, and he lowered his eyes for a while.

Wang Laifu thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty has taken a fancy to Miss Yin?

After all, the number one beauty has a famous reputation, and he, an eunuch, feels moved when he sees this portrait, let alone the young emperor who is full of blood?

He was about to praise Yin Zhixuan, but Xuan Lan suddenly said: "You are not as good as that eunuch Jiang Jintang, and you are worthy of being my queen?!"

Wang Laifu: "..."

Wang Laifu felt that it was inappropriate to put Nine Thousand Years old and Yin Zhixuan together, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Miss Yin, the number one beauty in the capital, was indeed not as good as Nine Thousand Years Old.

But how many looks like Nine Thousand Years can there be?In comparison, Yin Zhixuan is already an allure.

"The old man in the cabinet is probably blind." Xuan Lan threw the portrait aside, and said coldly, "It took so long to choose so many crooked melons and cracked dates?"

Wang Laifu: "..."

These noble girls are all from superior backgrounds, beautiful in appearance and noble in character, so why are they so crooked?

"Your Majesty." Wang Laifu said bitterly, "These young ladies are the best candidates for empress, you should take a look."

Xuan Lan said: "Ugly, my eyes hurt."

Wang Laifu: "..."

Xuan Lan suddenly said: "What does Jiang Jintang mean by the matter of the Empress Dowager?"

"Nine thousand years old is confined at home, he didn't pay attention to these court affairs." Wang Laifu said.

"What news in this world can escape his eyes and ears." Xuan Lan snorted, and a gust of wind came over from the window, blowing away Yin Zhixuan's portrait, revealing the portrait of Lin Shanfang below, Xuan Lan decided to take a few breaths , suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, my cousin is already old enough to marry."

He bent down to pick up the portrait, and said, "If you have to choose one, it's her."

Wang Laifu was not very happy, he hesitated and said: "But Your Majesty... Jiu Qiansui has some grievances with the Lin family, I am afraid that he will not agree."

Xuan Lan said slowly: "If they have no grievances, why would I choose Lin Shanfang?"

He didn't want to stand up, so he just used the eunuch's hand to push him away.

Wang Laifu knelt on the ground and picked up the other portraits, and said, "The old servant will go and answer."

……

Jiang Jintang was not surprised when he received the news from the cabinet.

He was sitting in the pavilion playing chess with himself, with a burner of calming incense next to him, and in the smoke, he held a black pawn between his fingers, blocking Bai Zi's breathing completely, looking leisurely, but Shanyue was a little anxious, "Master, Your Majesty is serious." I chose the daughter of the Lin family..."

Jiang Jintang said: "No matter how you look at it, the daughter of the Lin family is the most suitable choice. She has the right status, the right age, and the right personality."

"but……"

"No problem." Jiang Jintang said: "Go and tell the messenger, and say that I agree."

Shanyue pursed her lips, seeing that Jiang Jintang had made up her mind, she could only sigh and agree.

The person who came to deliver the message was a small official named Meng He who had just entered the Ministry of Rites. He had never met Jiang Jintang, only heard of the evil name of nine thousand years old. Get out of this Chitose Mansion.

The others also knew that the little emperor's choice would offend the officials, so they all declined and refused to take this trip. Meng He was inexperienced and had no right to speak, so this bad job fell on him as a matter of course.

Standing at the door, Meng He waited in fear. He was even more nervous than when the imperial examinations were released, and he didn't care to appreciate the unique scenery of Chitose Mansion. moon.

Shanyue's complexion was not very good, which made Meng He's heart skip a beat.

But Shanyue just cupped her hands when she came over, and said: "Your Excellency, you have worked hard. My master has already known about this matter, and thinks it is a good marriage. There is no doubt about it. Please report back, Your Excellency."

Meng He was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, before he said after a while, "Lord Qiantui...agreed?"

Shanyue said: "My master said that the daughter of the Lin family is beautiful, intelligent, gentle and gentle, and she is an excellent candidate for the empress. Naturally, there is no disagreement."

For a moment, Meng He couldn't tell whether it was Jiu Qiansui who hit the evil or he. Even he, a small official who had just entered the officialdom, knew that the daughter of the Lin family would do all the harm to this treacherous official. Why did Jiang Jintang Want to agree? !
