Jiang Shaohua smiled and said: "What should I not do? You have taken good care of the emperor's grandmother, and you have shared my worries."
Eunuch Zhao responded repeatedly and glanced at Eunuch Lin quickly from the corner of his eye.
Where in the palace is there not a struggle for power? Eunuch Lin is the loyal lackey of Empress Dowager Zheng. Behind him, Zhao Jingming, stands Her Majesty the Empress, and he is not someone to be trifled with.
Eunuch Lin's palace was very deep, and he respectfully welcomed the empress and the emperor's husband to the bedside without showing any emotion.
"Shaohua," Empress Dowager Zheng burst into tears as soon as she saw Jiang Shaohua: "You finally came to see the Ai family. When the Ai family thinks of the Zheng family, their hearts throb. Oops. ! ”
I don’t know whether it was real pain or fake pain, but Empress Dowager Zheng’s face was indeed pale, she clutched her chest and kept wailing. The imperial doctors who were standing by immediately gathered around the bed and were busy diagnosing the pulse of Empress Dowager Zheng and administering acupuncture for a long time.
Jiang Shaohua accompanied him patiently, and said in a gentle voice: "Grandma, don't always worry about this little thing about the Zheng family."
"It's not a big deal. A gust of wind blew through There will be no news. Now that the Zheng family is on the verge of being criticized and said some unpleasant things, it is inevitable that the news will subside after a few months."
It will fade away. The gold, silver, jade, and treasures that were "offered" to the farm owner could not be taken back.
Empress Dowager Zheng loved money as much as her life. In her eyes, the Zheng family's family fortune was similar to hers. The Zheng family donated half of their family property to the national treasury. It was like cutting a large piece of flesh on her body with a knife. How could she not feel heartbroken?
Empress Dowager Zheng continued to cry sadly.
Jiang Shaohua comforted her, but there was a sneer in her heart.
This is where I am, my heart aches like this! From now on, I use a soft knife to cut the flesh one by one, sometimes when Empress Dowager Zheng cries.
In fact, the arrogant, domineering, unreasonable and unreasonable Empress Dowager Zheng has begun to cry and cry to show her weakness. This in itself shows that the power of Jingyang Palace is not as powerful as before.
Cui Du also stepped forward: "Grandma, don't cry, think about the good in everything. The Zheng family gave up 50% of their family property in exchange for the whole family being safe and sound. If we follow the Daliang law, the whole family will lose their heads. If you want to land, you will have to raid your home. Then there will really be nothing left.”
Is this comfort?
Pricking her old man’s heart with the tip of a needle!
Empress Dowager Zheng could no longer pretend and glared at Cui Du: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Everyone loves to pick on the weak. Now she no longer has the confidence to boss around Jiang Shaohua, and she doesn't have so many worries about Cui Du.
Cui Du did not get used to Empress Dowager Zheng's intention, and responded directly: "What I said is the truth."
"Now An Guogong no longer has the official position of Minister, and the plaque in the Duke's Mansion has also been removed. If the Zheng family wants to be stable, they have to lower their heads and live with their necks shrinking."
"Think about King Huaiyang , he donated 80% of his family property, and brought five sons and six Grandson, you can live a peaceful life behind closed doors, but who is the Zheng family? Why can’t you?”
Empress Dowager Zheng rolled her eyes in anger: "You! Are you deliberately trying to make Aijia angry to death? OK! Get out! The Yi family doesn’t want to see you!”
Cui Du not only did not leave, but also took a few steps closer to the bed: “It’s okay if you don’t want to see me, the emperor has to go to court every day. I don't have much time to come to Jingyang Palace. The emperor has come to take care of his illness. Starting from tomorrow, I will be here to accompany my grandmother every day."
Cui Du confidently emphasized: "This is what my grandmother taught me, and I must be virtuous and respectful. To share the emperor’s worries.”
Empress Dowager Zheng: "..."
Empress Dowager Zheng was so angry that she almost fainted.
Jiang Shaohua held back his laughter and coughed lightly: "Okay, please stop saying a few words and don't make grandma angry."
Cui Du responded with a smile, and then Shut up. Empress Dowager Zheng wiped away her tears and complained to Jiang Shaohua: "The Ai family is sick, so we should have a pure mind and rest in peace. The Ai family cannot bear the sharp mouth of Uncle Chang Ning."
Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "Cui Du has a quick temper, and sometimes his words are not so pleasant, but he has a good heart. What he just said was for the long-term consideration of the Zheng family."
" The imperial court has sent troops to Yuzhou to quell the chaos. In the next few months, news about the Yuzhou army will continue to spread to the imperial court. If Chen is in the Yuzhou Army, it would be best for the imperial court to win. If the war does not go smoothly, how can the civil and military officials in the DPRK not express their anger at the Zheng family? At this time, the Zheng family can only keep a low profile to avoid causing public anger. "< br>
When Zheng Chen was mentioned, Empress Dowager Zheng was like a ball that had been inflated. She immediately showed a decadent attitude and stopped saying anything.
Jiang Shaohua and Cui Du looked at each other and smiled in their hearts.
Cui Du kept his promise and began to come to Jingyang Palace to "take care of the disease" from the next day.
Empress Dowager Zheng saw him as an eyesore, so she simply called Prince Ping over.
Cui Du was also happy to play with King Ping.
In the entire palace, the one who lives the most carefree and happily every day is Prince Ping Jiang Hao. After he moved into Jingyang Palace, he gained some weight and gained better physical strength. Running around every day, it was so happy.
"Brother-in-law," King Ping could clearly call Cui Du: "I want to climb a tree."
Cui Du coaxed with a good temper: "Grandma is sick, we have to stay with her all the time. . When grandma recovers, my brother-in-law will take you to the imperial garden to climb trees.”
Prince Ping's naughty child immediately lost his temper and started making a fuss: "I will climb the tree! I want to go now!"
The sharp shouts floated in from the open window lattice and penetrated into the eardrums of Empress Dowager Zheng. .
The Empress Dowager Zheng had a headache from the noise, and immediately sent Eunuch Zhao to deliver the message: "Let Uncle Chang Ning take Prince Ping to the Royal Garden."
Stop making noise in her old man's ears. If this continues, she will really fall ill.
Cui Du came to Jingyang Palace to "take care of his illness" without landing for half a month. The reputation of being virtuous has already spread from the palace to outside the palace.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang exclaimed: "This Uncle Chang Ning is really virtuous."
The word virtuous, when used on men, always has a more or less despicable connotation.
Even though Cui Du was the daughter-in-law of the empress, the husband of the Liang Dynasty, and had the title of Uncle Chang Ning and the official position of Minister of Agriculture, this contempt still appeared from time to time in everyone's tacit glances and whispers.
No one admits how much jealousy and jealousy there is.
Even Prime Minister Wang occasionally secretly regretted missing out on getting married to the empress.
If Wang Jin had not been his chosen successor and had competed with Cui Du... Huh! How could Cui Du compete with his son?
Prime Minister Wang would never say these words to Wang Jin.
Not only cannot he say it, but he must also try his best to downplay his son's infatuation for Her Majesty the Empress.
Even though all the civil and military officials in the court were joking about this matter in private, no one dared to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk nonsense. Then Prime Minister Wang can pretend that there is no such thing. (End of this chapter)
