Chapter Five Min Qiu's Mind
In the original night se, the gate of Taiyuan city opened, and carriages drove back from outside the city. This was the ministers who returned to the city after the throne ceremony. Another large carriage drove into the city, with hundreds of personal guards on both sides.
Guard, this is Yang Yuanqing's return. (I want it
It was already past morning, and Taiyuan City was silent, and darkness enveloped every corner of the city. Only faint starlight shone on the road, guiding the carriage forward.
In the carriage, Yang Yuanqing did not have the joy of being named King of Chu. To him, the king was just a false title and did not increase his strength. On the contrary, it would weaken his power to a certain extent. In the past, he
He is the chief supervisor of Fengzhou and the prefect of Wuyuan County. His military power and administrative power are in his hands. Now, Ziwei will divide half of his administrative power, and there will be gains and losses. If he wants to seize the world, he will win many people to join him.
If he supports him, he must divide some of his power, so that those who support him can taste the sweetness, and allow the Shandong gentry to fully support him.
The key to power is to have checks and balances. A power system with checks and balances must be established from the very beginning. This is something that Yang Yuanqing has been considering these days.
Yang You must be a puppet, and he cannot even be allowed to participate in some government affairs, so that he can successfully complete the power transition in the future. This cannot be questioned.
The prime minister must also be restricted. Ziwei cannot interfere with the army. This is also a principle. In fact, many things are also exploring, and only after doing it can you know whether it is right or wrong. Yang Yuanqing sighed softly, tomorrow will be his ruler.
One day, he was looking forward to it.
At two o'clock, Yang Yuanqing finally returned to his mansion. He came out of the carriage and stared at the plaque on the gate with the words "King of Chu Mansion" written on it. He did not expect that it would be so. Yang Yuanqing sighed softly.
After breathing, he suddenly remembered the 'Duke of Yue Mansion' he saw when he was a child. I wonder how his grandfather knew that he was named King of Chu?
Yang Yuanqing walked into the mansion. It was already deep in the night, and the family was asleep. The courtyard was silent. He walked towards the inner house. As soon as he walked into the inner house, he heard someone talking faintly. Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned and stopped
Stopped.
The voice is very low and vague. I can't hear what I'm saying, but I can vaguely hear it's a woman's voice talking to myself. The voice comes from the small courtyard on the left, which is an empty courtyard, and there is no
People lived. Yang Yuanqing slowly walked into the yard and saw a stone table under a plum tree with incense and candles placed on the stone table, and a middle-aged woman in black was kneeling and praying in a low voice.
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly. The middle-aged woman was his master's wife, that is, Han, the wife of his master Zhang Xutuo.
After Zhang Xutuo was killed, Han returned to her parents' home. Her parents had both died. The two half-brothers were very cold to her because of her poverty. They even wanted to drive her out, and she had nowhere to go.
Pei Minqiu sent someone to find her and made her survive, so she came to Lingwu County. It was the time when the Turks launched a large-scale attack on Fengzhou.
Han had no children and had always lived with Yang Yuanqing and the others. Yang Yuanqing regarded her as her mother, and her children called her grandmother, so Han lived with peace of mind.
"Master's wife!"
Yang Yuanqing shouted softly, and Han was startled. When she saw clearly that the person standing in front of the yard was Yang Yuanqing. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuan Qing. Have you just come back?"
Seeing that Yuan Qing was wearing armor and didn't look like she was getting up at night, she asked in surprise: "It's two now, why are you back?"
"There are important things today, so I'm late to come back."
Yang Yuanqing slowly walked forward and saw that the master's wife was kneeling down and was actually the master's spiritual card of Zhang Xutuo. He couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he bit his lips and asked, "Master's wife, is it the master's taboo today?"
Han shook his head, "It's not your master's taboo, it's because I dreamed of your master these two nights. I feel uneasy, but I don't want people to know, so I ran here to pay tribute to him at night."
Yang Yuanqing looked at the spirit card with the words "The Spirit of the Dead Husband Zhang Xutuo". He felt a little sad. He had not yet gone to worship the master's tomb.
Yang Yuanqing also knelt down in front of his master's spirit, kowtowed three times, and silently said, "Master is above, and my disciple has been named King of Chu today. The disciple will continue the Great Sui Dynasty in another way, and let the Great Sui Dynasty Red Banner
Flying forever, I hope that the Master will understand his disciple's painstaking efforts. One day, the disciple will use Li Mi's head to worship his master."
Yang Yuanqing's voice was very low, but Han heard it faintly. She was moved. Her husband once told her that his disciple valued love and friendship, and everything was good. The only thing that could not tolerate was that he was too ambitious and always wanted to win the Sui Dynasty.
Instead.
But Han didn't care about this. She lived with Yuanqing's family for half a year. She deeply realized the respect and care of Yuanqing's family for her. She regarded her as a relative, but her two brothers were so indifferent.
Knowing that Yang Yuanqing is her husband's disciple, her attitude changed drastically. She came to the door several times to apologize and wanted to invite her to go back to support her, but she didn't want to go. She has already regarded this place as her home and Yuanqing's child as her grandson.
I believe that if my husband knew about Yuan Qing's care for her, he would definitely forgive Yuan Qing.
"Master, you rest in peace in the Spirit of Heaven!" Han also recited silently.
Yang Yuanqing stood up and said, "Master's wife, it's very cold at night. Go back to the house! Don't get sick with the cold."
"I'll clean up and go back, Yuanqing, you go back first!"
Yang Yuanqing nodded, turned around and left the courtyard, walked past a small bridge, and two lanterns appeared in front of him. His wife Pei Minqiu came over with two maids.
Yang Yuanqing felt a warm feeling in his heart. It was so late and his wife was still waiting for him. He quickly met him, "Minqiu, why haven't you sleep yet?"
"If you don't come back, you will usually send someone to say that if no one says it today, I will know you will come back, so wait for you."
Pei Minqiu walked forward with a smile on her husband's arm and asked him in a low voice: "My maid just said you are back, why is it that way?"
Yang Yuanqing looked back at the courtyard not far away and lowered his voice: "I just met my master's wife offering spirits to the master in the courtyard over there, so I went to kneel down and worship."
"Now?" Pei Minqiu asked in surprise.
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "My teacher's wife doesn't want people to know. She is actually afraid that we will be too careful.
"This is my negligence."
Pei Minqiu blamed herself with apologies and said: "Today, the master's wife asked me if there were any temples nearby. I said I had someone go and ask for it, but later I forgot about it when I got busy. Alas! It's really my fault."
"You've done it well."
Yang Yuanqing smiled at his wife with praise, Pei Minqiu was praised by her husband and was happy. She smiled sweetly and said, "I have sent someone to the old house in Luoyang to find those nuns and build them in the house."
A nunnery gives the teacher’s heart a sustenance, and your aunt, I also want to bring her together.”
Yang Yuanqing held his wife's hand, and his care and thoughtfulness made him feel silently grateful.
The two of them went back to the dormitory holding hands, and Yang Yuanqing lay down on the couch. He stretched out his waist long. Today was busy day, and he was so exhausted. Pei Minqiu smiled and asked, "Did you have been the king?"
.Does it feel different in your heart?”
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "How did you know?"
At this time, the two maids brought a basin of hot water in. Pei Minqiu waved her hand to let them go out. She took off Yang Yuanqing's boots, washed and massaged him personally, lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Your personal soldiers are all anxious.
Fire burning, can I not know?"
Yang Yuanqing remembered that the plaque in front of the mansion had been replaced, and he wanted to officially announce it tomorrow to give his family a surprise, but they were, hey! These guys.
"How do you feel? Princess Chu." Yang Yuanqing asked with a hint of teasing.
Pei Minqiu gave him a blank look. She found a stool to sit down and slowly massaged his soles of his feet. After a while, she gently raised her pretty eyes, with a hint of resentment in the tips of her eyes, which meant to ask him, "There is such a squeezing princess."
Is it?'
Yang Yuanqing laughed. He stood up and half hugged his wife and rushed to the inner room, "Let's go lie down and talk."
Pei Minqiu asked coquettishly: "It's so late, does your husband still have a magical spirit?"
She was pushed into the inner room by her husband
The room was pitch black, and the couple slowly lay down after a lingering affection.
Pei Minqiu snuggled in her husband's arms for a while. She sighed softly, and Yang Yuanqing turned over, hugged his wife's charming body, kissed her forehead, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Pei Minqiu bit his lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Husband, I actually knew you were going to be the king yesterday afternoon."
"Who told you?"
Yang Yuanqing was confused. The fact that the King of Chu decided to enthrone the king last night, and his wife actually knew about it yesterday afternoon. He thought about it and suddenly asked her: "Has it been your grandfather who looked for you yesterday afternoon?"
This is the only explanation. Except for Pei Ju, a veteran in the power field, no one can guess what he thinks. Yang Yuanqing felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't like Pei Ju to pull his wife into the power field.
Pei Minqiu stretched out her arm and put her husband's neck and said quietly in his ear: "Grandfather told me that I would consider the interests of the Pei family more in the future and not just pay attention to the affairs of the back house all day long. He also told me that there would be one in the future.
One day you will ascend the throne and I will become the queen. The relationship between husband and wife was not that simple at that time. He said that if I had no support from my parents' power, I would have been deposed. Husband, he would have said this. One day you really
Will you abandon me?"
Yang Yuanqing patted her on the back and said softly: "Stop thinking about it, it's too late, rest!"
Yang Yuanqing's mind was dizzy. He was really too tired. His mind was filled with mud and he could not understand his wife's thoughts carefully. When he closed his eyes, his whole mind was pitch black and he was very unconscious.
Pei Minqiu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She was very anxious. She had read history books. In her memory, almost no queen in the Jin Dynasty could have a good end. If her husband became the emperor one day, what should she do?
Do? Maintaining the bond between husband and wife should be feelings. Will the relationship between husband and wife be replaced by power and interests by becoming emperors?
The big card of the "King of Chu Mansion" at the door of the mansion floated in front of her eyes, so dazzling that it deeply hurt her heart. She wanted to smash the card with a hammer.
One day after October
