Chapter 562 Sending Away Beggars
Zhang Guoan picked up Dongmei, turned her around twice and put her down, laughing and saying: You came back safe and sound, and you have gained two pounds of weight. He then put the woman on the horse and led the reins back.
Old Mrs. Xie walked into the yard and saw the majestic garrison soldiers guarding the way. She murmured: We have just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. We are now imprisoned.
Xie Wuhui was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a smile: That's not the case. The New Song Dynasty advocates equality for all. My mother-in-law and Uncle Zhao haven't broken the law, so there's no talk of putting them in solitary confinement.
Old Mrs. Xie asked angrily: Is it true?
Can these soldiers be mobilized without regret?
Then try it and ask them all to go out.
Xie Wuhui immediately called the leading team leader over and ordered them to withdraw all the sentries in the yard.
The young man immediately stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and called his brothers to walk out the door.
Old Lady Xie laughed dryly and said: "Really, they are all Wu Hui's subordinates." Then she pointed at the maids standing on both sides and said that she looked down on none of them, so she sent them away.
Xie Wuhui was very smart and immediately understood what the empress dowager meant. Old lady Xie was worried that these people were spies arranged by the New Song court to carry out surveillance, and she wanted to drive them all away.
She said with some embarrassment: We just came in and we still need to get familiar with the things in the yard. Someone needs to give us some pointers. Let's ask them to leave .
Old Mrs. Xie roared: Call Zhao Feiyan, call Zhao Qier, why do you confine me here? I want to confront them face to face.
Xie Wuhui immediately took two quick steps forward and told her mother-in-law to keep her voice down and not make people laugh at her. The court had long since stopped talking about house arrest. Just now, the chief steward of the Shunfeng Division, Dongmei, did not order everyone to be detained here, but only asked his subordinates to contact the Ministry of Rites to coordinate Uncle Zhao's schedule.
The emperor asked angrily: What else is going on? Do I need to ask the Ministry of Rites for permission to go out and have a look?
Xie Wuhui looked at them in confusion, and then he realized that this job was not going to be easy.
She still smiled and said: "When Uncle Zhao goes out, he always has to use carriages and official ships, so there will always be some expenses. It doesn't matter if it's in the city or outside the city, but if he goes further, there must be a reception strategy. She can't afford it without reporting to the Ministry of Rites for support."
Then she went on: There is an official document from the Ministry of Rites. The monthly allowance for Uncle Zhao is 100 strings of coins, the monthly allowance for the two ladies is 50 strings of coins, and the monthly allowance for the old lady is 80 strings of coins. The account office will deliver the money every month. Each family's servants will pay their own wages. After Uncle Zhao will have to bear his own expenses.
In this case, Wuhui will not have any extra money to cover the huge expenses here, so I hope the elders can take care of me.
The Queen Mother flew into a rage, yelling hysterically, "Traitors, they are all traitors." She held the pillars of the eaves with one hand and pointed at the emperor with the other, cursing, "It's all my son's fault. He gave birth to such a bastard to humiliate me. He would have paid more than ten or a hundred strings of money to send a beggar, but he only gave me this little money."
The maids on both sides were so scared that they hid in the corners.
Xie Wuhui hurriedly asked everyone to sit down in the side hall and talk, and told Old Lady Xie to stop howling, because it would make people all over the world laugh. At present, the monthly income of a county magistrate is about 30 guan, so how can it be said that the court is sending beggars? Even Madam Danfeng, who came to Sichuan in the early years, only received 1,000 guan of support, which is only a little more than 80 guan per month.
The Queen Mother roared: Who is that bitch from Tianshui Lane?
How can you be compared ?
Everyone was stunned by her roar.
At this time, a voice like a loud bell came: Why not?
In my opinion, Madam Danfeng is self-reliant and has donated her savings over the years to help Xinsong build trains. Her noble character is ten or a hundred times better than that of the old lady.
On the contrary, the old lady has not made any contribution to our New Song Dynasty, but as soon as she returned to Chengdu, she asked for this and that and acted like a general. In comparison, what's the difference between her and the hooligans who act like scoundrels on the street?
The old lady is well-read and was the empress and empress dowager of the previous dynasty. How could she be so narrow-minded? I have learned a lot from her.
Everyone looked towards the entrance and saw that it was Zhao Yulin who came in with Zhao Feiyan.
Old Mrs. Xie was given a wake-up call by Zhao Yulin. After being humiliated so lightly, she became so angry that she couldn't breathe and collapsed to the ground with her eyes rolled back.
The maids around immediately came over happily and shouted: Third Young Master, Princess Feiyan.
It turned out that Zhao Yulin had come with Zhao Feiyan to visit her father. Before they even entered the door, they heard Old Lady Xie insulting Feiyan's mother, which made Feiyan so angry that she trembled all over.
That's unacceptable.
The two old maids beside Old Lady Xie had already supported the Empress Dowager and shouted, "She has fainted!" "Where is the imperial physician? Call her!"
Zhao Yulin said disdainfully: Why are you panicking? It would be better if such an incompetent woman died. Don't move.
Everyone was petrified immediately.
Oh my God, Zhao Yulin did not help the empress dowager and just got rid of her with just a few words.
The imperial concubine held the emperor in panic and shouted: What's going on? This is such a sin. The empress dowager was fine in Mobei, but she was angered to death when she came back. Wuuu, wuuu, Chengdu is really a den of tigers and wolves.
Zhao Yulin asked with a smile: Madam, you think Chengdu is not good, right?
That means the lady had a wonderful, happy and comfortable life in the desert.
Well then, I will pay for it myself and send someone to send the lady back.
Someone come here.
A small team of Zhao Yulin's guards suddenly jumped out. The imperial concubine was so frightened that she shrank behind the emperor and shouted: No, no, I will never go back to Mobei.
He said with a smile: That's right, it's better to be honest in life, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.
Zhao Yulin waved his hand and the guards quickly retreated.
He put Feiyan's hand down and leaned over to check on Old Lady Xie. He pushed away the old maids on both sides and cursed: You don't even know simple first aid methods. You have worked in the palace for so long, what have you learned in your daily life?
Is that all you can do?
He quickly laid the empress dowager flat on the floor, pressed her Hegu point hard, then pinched Old Lady Xie's Ren Zhong point. Suddenly, he let go and Old Lady Xie slowly opened her eyes.
Everyone exclaimed: The Queen Mother has woken up, the Third Young Master has brought her back to life.
He slapped the empress dowager on the face twice and said: She was not dead in the first place, how could she be saved? She was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and caused this trouble.
The Queen Mother was completely sobered up after receiving two slaps on the face. She was so angry that she screamed that she wanted to kill him and kill Zhao Qier.
Zhao Yulin rubbed his hands and said: "It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person. She was once a queen mother, but how come she lives like a shrew? No wonder she has ended up alone."
The Queen Mother could not bear such abuse from him and rolled her eyes again.
He didn't even look at these people and said to Xie Wuhui: "Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Envoy. I was going to accompany the King of Feiyan to treat you all to a simple meal, but it will not be enjoyable in this situation. Let's do it another day."
Then transfer another imperial physician to deal with the emergency.
Xie Wuhui immediately agreed with a "hmm".
After saying goodbye, Zhao Yulin helped Zhao Feiyan up and turned to leave.
In Taijian Hall, Lord Ding and Li Liang, the Minister of Rites, were hosting a banquet to welcome the survivors who had returned from the south. Everyone was happy and came to the main table in groups to toast. Lord Ding was in a good mood and toasted everyone who came.
Shi's son asked Li Liang carefully: Why are Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Xie not here?
Li Liang knew that he was talking about the emperor and the empress, and said lightly that Mr. Zhao was the father of the Princess of Feiyan, and would naturally be taken care of by the princess. Didn't Mr. Shi also not see the third young master and Princess Feiyan?
Shi's son looked around and said hurriedly: Yes, yes, the King of Feiyan must have gone to chat with Mr. Zhao.
Li Liang's mind is much clearer now.
Back then, when he called out the official and the emperor in front of Zhao Yulin, he was caught and criticized by Zhao Yulin. After he knew that he should not violate the taboo, the only things in his mind were Mr. Zhao and Old Lady Xie.
He went to talk to Li Zhongmian and was severely scolded by the old man, who told him that Zhao Yulin would never allow anyone to plot a restoration, and anyone who dared to do so would die.
From then on, Li Liang completely turned the page on the emperor in his heart.
Zhao Yulin accompanied Feiyan out, and the little woman snuggled in his arms and shouted that she wanted to go to Danfeng Garden to see her mother. He ordered the guards to clear the way and continued to hold the woman and take a nap.
After entering Danfeng Garden, the woman rushed to Kuang Sisi and burst into tears as soon as she saw him. He quickly asked Luo Mingqiu to go to the kitchen to kill a chicken. He wanted to make a firewood chicken himself today to reward our Lord.
Only after the fire was lit and the ingredients were prepared did Kuang Sisi and Zhao Feiyan come out to watch the fun. Soon everyone sat down at the table to enjoy the food .
Kuang Sisi smiled faintly and asked Luo Mingqiu to open a jar of girl's red wine so that she could drink it happily with her daughter.
Zhao Yulin said that it was time to congratulate, at least today our king did not get nervous when facing the emperor and empress dowager of the previous dynasty.
Zhao Feiyan smiled and said happily that Brother Yulin was really awesome. He pressed Grandma Xie's philtrum until it turned red and slapped her twice.
It was amazing that the son-in-law actually beat up that old witch. Kuang Sisi exclaimed. The two eunuchs and Luo Mingqiu standing nearby were stunned.
Zhao Yulin was gnawing on a chicken leg, and he immediately shook it and asked Kuang Sisi to stop, telling her that he was saving someone. Grandma Xie was so angry that she fainted, and he pressed hard on her Ren Zhong point to wake her up. She was so dizzy that she couldn't see clearly, so he had to use his unique skills to hit the acupoints on both sides of her cheeks to make her see clearly.
He asked Luo Mingqiu with a smile: Eunuch Luo, you have this set of skills, right?
Luo Mingqiu suddenly came to an idea and immediately said solemnly: There is indeed such a way to rescue him, but only someone with profound skills like the Third Young Master can do it.
Zhao Yulin was very satisfied with Luo Mingqiu's witty performance. He raised his glass and invited him to drink.
Luo Mingqiu was delighted and picked up the wine glass with both hands and drank it all.
Kuang Sisi knew that her good son-in-law had stood up for her and taught the empress dowager a lesson. She was very happy and raised her glass to him repeatedly, asking him to drink.
After drinking happily, she pointed at Luo Mingqiu and the two eunuchs and said: She is not afraid of people pointing at her and scolding her for occupying a large house, as the Huaxi Villa is also spacious and large. She is also not afraid of others saying that she is receiving support from the court, and we will not receive support from the court this year.
