Dayong Imperial City, the mansion of Dong Bingkun, the secretary of the ministry, is heavily guarded, and the atmosphere is very different from the past, it turned out that Concubine Dong Shu came to the province early in the morning, this time not only Concubine Dong Shu came, but even the seventh prince Xue Daoming also came back.
The Dong family has always been one of the most powerful gate valves in Dayong, and the only one who can compete with the Dong family is the Li family, both of which are famous ministers and good generals, and they are deeply valued by the Dayong royal family, but since the eldest prince Xue Daohong ascended the throne, the Dong family has become much more low-key, after all, the seventh prince Xue Daoming they supported is also the one with a higher voice for succession to the throne, and the current emperor Xue Daohong competes with each other, after Xue Daohong ascends the throne, both Xue Daoming and the Dong family have become cautious, for fear that Xue Daohong will look for opportunities to attack them.
Concubine Dong Shu's return to her parents' home this time is also the first time after the new emperor ascended the throne, the family sat down in the flower hall, Concubine Dong Shufei sighed and said, "It's better to have your own home." ” Her sister-in-law Yang Yuqi said with a smile: "No matter how good it is, it can't be compared with the palace, with fine clothes and food, pampered and pampered, and there are so many palace people waiting around you." ” Dong Bingkun glared at his wife and secretly scolded this old lady for not being able to speak.
Concubine Dong Shuhe laughed and said: "The taste has been weak in the past two days, I just want to eat the fish soup made by my sister-in-law." ” Yang Yuqi smiled: "It's not easy, I'll do it."
"She is not an ordinary woman, and she can see that this sister-in-law wants to break her up.
After his wife left, Dong Bingkun smiled helplessly: "Don't blame your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is like this, and she has always spoken openly." ” Concubine Dong Shu sighed and said: "Sister-in-law is right, others look at us for a thousand benefits of living in the palace, who knows the grievances and sadness behind our scenery."
Xue Daoming asked his mother to take his leave: "Mother, uncle, the child went out to talk to a few cousins. ” Concubine Dong Shu nodded.
There are only two brothers and sisters left in the flower hall.
Of course, Dong Bingkun knows the situation of his sister recently, since Xue Shengkang's death, the status of their mother and son in the palace has also plummeted.
Not to mention that my sister's power in the harem is completely hollowed out, even my nephew, who can fight well, is now in a state of idleness.
Concubine Dong Shu said: "The emperor has a lot of scruples about Daoming in his heart.
Only in her own mother's house did she dare to say such a thing.
Dong Bingkun said: "Sister."
The only thing the emperor can trust is Li Shenzhou, not to mention us, even King Yan and the eldest princess are not excluded by him the same. ” Concubine Dong Shufei nodded and said in a low voice: "In the past, I always thought that this kid was loyal and open-minded, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless after he ascended the throne. ” Dong Bingkun said: "King Yan is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but the emperor is more decisive. ” Concubine Dong Shufei said: "It's not all Li Shenzhou's idea. ” A wry smile appeared on the corner of Dong Bingkun's lips: "Sister still needs to be patient."
"Patience in the world is not for you not to provoke others.
Others won't harm you, people have long looked at our mother and son unpleasantly, and this knife will be cut off sooner or later. ” Dong Bingkun was silent, after Xue Daohong ascended the throne, he reused Li Shenzhou, and the status of the Li family increased day by day.
Even so, Xue Daohong will not rest on his laurels.
His ultimate goal is to eradicate Xue Daoming, a former contender for the throne, and even consider eliminating their Dong family.
It's just that the time has not yet come, and he is not yet sure to completely eliminate the power of the Dong family.
Concubine Dong Shufei was obviously dissatisfied with her eldest brother's silence, she gritted her teeth and said: "To sit still is to wait for death" Dong Bingkun understood his sister's temperament, and coughed dryly: "Timing is very important. ” Concubine Dong Shu said: "Do you know about Tianxiang Kingdom recruiting relatives from the royal family in the world?"
Dong Bingkun shook his head, he really hadn't heard about it yet.
Concubine Dong Shu said: "Long Xuanjiao, the queen mother of Tianxiang Kingdom, wants to recruit a son-in-law for her righteous daughter Princess Yingyue, and this matter has been publicly announced.
The day of the public selection of a son-in-law is set on the Double Ninth Festival. ” Dong Bingkun said: "When did Long Xuanjiao have a goddaughter?"
Concubine Dong Shufei handed a letter to Dong Bingkun: "Someone specially sent the portrait of this Princess Yingyue to Daoming, guess who Princess Yingyue looks like" Dong Bingkun took the letter, took out a painting from it, and after unfolding it, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the portrait.
Concubine Dong Shufei said: "It's basically Long Xiyue's little slut." ” Dong Bingkun said: "Impossible.
She wasn't already dead."
Concubine Dong Shuhe sneered: "Who saw the body taken away after death, falling from the sky beyond recognition, I always feel that there must be something strange about this matter, now it seems that we were deceived by Dakang's blindfolding method, and there is someone else who died, the real Long Xiyue has already escaped, Long Xuanjiao is her aunt, and it is very likely that she will go to seek refuge." ” Dong Bingkun's eyebrows tightened, and he muttered: "There are many similar people in this world, and appearance alone may not be able to prove anything."
He didn't believe that Long Xiyue would be able to get out of the shell of the golden cicada in front of everyone, if this matter is true, then Dayong really made people put it in a good position, not only let Princess Anping retreat, but also set up a Dongliang County in vain.
Concubine Dong Shu said: "But the emperor issued an order to let Daoming go to Tianxiang Country to participate in the election of a son-in-law. ” Dong Bingkun said: "Daoming agreed" Concubine Dong Shufei sighed and said: "When he saw this portrait, his seven souls disappeared and his six spirits disappeared, and he agreed to come down without even thinking about it."
"This is the most headache for her, her son is good at everything, but she is too affectionate for Long Xiyue, and she doesn't know what evil this child has fallen into, since Long Xiyue's death, his heart is like water, and he is not even close to women.
Dong Bingkun said: "Are you worried that this trip to Tianxiang Country is a trap" Concubine Dong Shu said: "Tianxiang Country is just a small country, even if there is no trap, with the identity of Daoming, it will not be bent to marry a princess of Tianxiang Kingdom, not to mention that this Princess Yingyue is only the righteous daughter of Long Xuanjiao, and it is not a royal bloodline at all, how can she be worthy of our Daoming." ” Dong Bingkun smiled dumbly, after all, her sister is just a woman's family, and when she thinks about the problem, she first thinks of the portal, but she doesn't think of the real reason behind this matter.
Concubine Dong Shu said: "I asked him to come over, just to persuade you to persuade him, he has always listened to you, Tianxiang Kingdom can't go." ” Dong Bingkun said: "He has already promised the emperor, can he still go back on his word and take back his fate?"
Concubine Dong Shufei bit her lip and said, "I don't care, in short, I can't watch him take risks." ” Dong Bingkun narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table twice, and said in a low voice: "The royal marriage is not full of political purposes, and Tianxiang Kingdom must have a deep meaning in recruiting relatives from the world this time." ” Concubine Dong Shufei said: "It's just a small country. ” Dong Bingkun shook his head: "Although the land area of Tianxiang Country is not large, it cannot be crowned with a small country, over the years, they have been immersed in the development and hard work in the south of Yunxiao Ridge, and have subdued many surrounding tribes, in terms of land area alone, it is equivalent to half of Dakang, and it is more than Xichuan, the most powerful country of Tianxiang is not the army, but the sailor, the sea area they have has long exceeded the Central Plains countries, and there are more than 500 large and small islands under their control. ” Concubine Dong Shu said: "What's so great about the land of barbarians?"
Dong Bingkun said: "You may still remember a few years ago, Hu Buwei, the secretary of the Dakang Household Department, led 10,000 elite sailors and 500 of the most powerful warships to Luozon to open up a sea grain transportation channel."
Concubine Dong Shufei blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't that Hu Xiaotian's father?"
Dong Bingkun nodded and said: "It's him, although Hu Buwei took away not many sailors and warships, but the 10,000 sailors are the backbone of the Dakang Navy, and the five hundred warships are the top craftsmanship of Dakang shipbuilding, many people say that this group of people died in the wind and waves at sea, but recently there is a rumor that these people are not missing, but turned to Tianxiang Country and incorporated into the army of Tianxiang Kingdom, Tianxiang Country's naval strength was originally not comparable to Dakang, However, in the past two years, their sailors have developed rapidly, and their shipbuilding technology has also improved rapidly, so it can be inferred that Hu Buwei and those sailors and soldiers have taken refuge in Tianxiang Kingdom. ” Concubine Dong Shufei listened to her brother's eloquent words, she was already impatient, if it was said that it was Dayong's domestic affairs, she might still be able to listen to it, Tianxiang Kingdom and Dayong are separated by Dakang, thousands of miles apart, what does their affairs have to do with herself, what she is most concerned about now is how to prevent her son from going to Tianxiang Kingdom.
Dong Bingkun said: "Dakang has no civil strife, and recently there has been a rebellion in Longting Town, and now the government has completely fallen into the hands of Princess Yongyang. ” Concubine Dong Shufei said: "This little girl is not very old, I can't imagine that she has such a means." ” Dong Bingkun said: "Even Hu Xiaotian turned against her, and now he has become a traitor to Dakang." ” Concubine Dong Shufei sighed: "Dakang is torn apart, and defeat is already inevitable. ” Dong Bingkun said: "So everyone in the surrounding powers wants to take advantage of this opportunity to carve up the land of Dakang, I think the Empress Dowager of Tianxiang Kingdom is just a cover for Princess Yingyue to marry this time, but her real intention is to find an alliance to flank Dakang." ” Concubine Dong Shufei frowned, her vision obviously did not go so far, she was still only staring at Dayong, and her biggest wish was just to want her son to ascend to the throne.
Dong Bingkun said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Daoming to go to Tianxiang Country, and it is only good for him to become a colt of Tianxiang Kingdom, and he can temporarily avoid the limelight if he leaves." ” Although Concubine Dong Shufei also understood what her eldest brother said, when she remembered that Tianxiang Country was so far away, if her son went there, he would not be able to come back without half a year, and she couldn't help but feel melancholy again.
Dong Bingkun said: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and when he goes out for a walk, his vision will also improve a lot, not to mention that we are watching for him here, what is there to worry about?
” The double period has passed, and the octopus finds himself back to the familiar ranking, and I Zhang Shiyi Lang is back again, and the big magic spell must jump out this month, either soar or fall, all in the thoughts of the brothers.
