Chapter 148 Plot of rebellion
sick?
Su Wan was surprised. She had not seen the regent when she was in the capital and did not know his physical condition.
She tried hard to recall the original work, but unfortunately, in addition to a simple main line, there was also a plot triggered by meeting a key figure, and there was no more plot.
Su Wan peeled off the cocoon and reviewed the main plot. It seemed that from Gu Huaizhi's arrival in Beijing to the death of the regent's adopted son and the fight between Gu Huaizhi and the prince, there was no writing from the regent. Could it be that the illness was quite serious and he died directly?
"Apart from this, is there anything else?" Su Wan was thinking that when she went to Beijing this time, she would have to go to the Regent's Mansion and visit the Regent.
"Miss, you said that the regent is a friendly force. He is now able to control the prince, which is very beneficial to your situation. I am afraid that if the regent becomes ill, the prince will take advantage of the situation and make things difficult for you." Qi Guang said worriedly. : "Do you think you should return to Beijing as soon as possible to treat the regent?"
Su Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Guang inquiringly, "Qi San and Qi Wu hate the regent. You seem a little worried about him?"
"They are still young and do not know the inside story of many things. They have misunderstandings about the regent, which is reasonable." When Qi Guang learned that Su Wan was married to Gu Huaizhi and that the regent was the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Guang also had resentment in his heart, but now he sees the prince Walking on thin ice in the court, he understood the regent's intentions again.
The regent was afraid that the prince would not inherit the throne, so he asked Su Wan and Su Mixue to change their marriage.
"Before your mother died, she once told me that if the regent is in danger, help him." Qi Guang's eyes became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "She said she owed the regent and failed him. "
At that time, the late emperor preferred the regent to be the crown prince. The current emperor and the regent were of the same mother. The empress dowager, who was a concubine at that time, wanted the brothers to complement each other. He favored the weak Jing Emperor as the emperor, while the regent was a general with a large number of troops. The two brothers guarded the throne. The empire of the Ji family.
The regent respected the queen mother very much. At that time, the brothers had a good relationship. He did not value power. Instead, he liked to fight on the battlefield and agreed with the queen mother's proposal.
The regent and Qi Min fell in love and planned to propose marriage to the Qi family after returning to Beijing in triumph.
The former emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the regent's proposal of marriage was postponed.
A year later, the regent asked the queen mother to grant a marriage.
Emperor Jing came forward to interfere. If the regent wanted to marry Qi Min, he would have to hand over military power together with the Qi family.
The regent was not afraid of Emperor Jing, but asked the queen mother: "What does the queen mother mean?"
"Xuan'er, the Qi family respects its own troops and has great achievements. This is a taboo of the court. If you marry a daughter of the Qi family, it will increase the power of the Qi family. The Ai family agrees with the emperor's proposal." The Queen Mother advised: "You She is of royal blood, what kind of woman do you want? Why bother to insist on identifying her as a daughter of the Qi family? "
"None of those women are her." The regent had made up his mind: "I will not marry anyone other than her."
The Queen Mother was angry and slapped her hand on the small table: "You traitor! Are you going to go against the Ai family and the Emperor for her?"
"This is not what I want. If one day, mother and son turn against each other, and brothers become enemies, I will have to do it as a last resort." The regent bowed and said, "I retire."
"Bang——"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and swept the tea cup to the ground.
Qi Guang was in the inner hall, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Qi Min, who was standing in front of the window. She was exceptionally calm, but her fingers hanging by her side were tightly pinched into her palms.
Not long after, the Queen Mother came in, with anger still on her face. She glanced at him sharply. Qi Guang lowered his head and heard the Queen Mother's majestic voice: "You all stand down. The Ai family has something to say to Miss Qi." ’
All the palace maids retreated.
Qi Guang looked at Qi Min.
"A Guang, get down." Qi Min turned around, wearing a long red dress that made her bright face look like a rich and passionate rose.
Qi Guang retreated, not knowing what the Queen Mother said to Qi Min.
Since then, the situation in the capital has been tense.
The regent is plotting rebellion.
The Qi family ancestral hall still hangs the words "loyalty to the emperor and service to the country" inscribed by the late emperor.
General Qi would never allow the regent to rebel.
In order to prevent the regent from rebelling, Qi Min broke up with him and married Su Jihong.
The regent left the capital to garrison the frontier, and did not return to the capital until Qi Min died of illness.
Later, the emperor became obsessed with alchemy and he became the regent. He invited the Queen Mother to go to the national temple to pray for the Zhou Dynasty.
Whenever Qi Guang thinks about the current situation of the Qi family, he can't help but think about whether General Qi ever regretted preventing the regent from rebelling.
If he hadn't stopped her back then, if the regent had succeeded, Qi Min might not have died. Su Wan was the regent's child, so she wouldn't have to endure so many grievances and injustices.
"If your mother was still alive, she would definitely hope that you would save him." Qi Guang couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Regardless of whether it was his mother's wish or not, Su Wan wanted to save the regent in this situation.
"I will." Su Wan agreed: "Uncle Qi, go and tell Gu Huaizhi that we will leave for Beijing tomorrow." After a pause, he asked again: "How is Jiu Ge doing in Qingfeng Mountain?"
Gu's mother was busy with the restaurant and took Jiu Ge with her, so she would not have time to take care of her. Therefore, she changed her mind and put Jiu Ge in Qingfeng Mountain. It was much safer than staying at Gu's house. She was worried that there would be too many people talking and Jiu Ge would be exposed. identity of.
Qi Guang said: "Ms. Hu has taken good care of her. She has recovered a bit. I will take her down the mountain tomorrow and wait for you to meet up."
"Okay." Su Wan nodded.
Qi Guang went to Xinghua Village.
Su Wan entered the house and discussed with Wang Yao and Wang Dong, "I will change the name of Guangren Tang to Xinglin Tang. Uncle Wang will be the doctor and treat the patients, and Wang Dong will be the manager. I will not give you a fixed monthly salary, but will be based on every day." I will give you and your son 20% of the total monthly turnover. Make a list of the medicinal materials needed by the medical clinic and give them to the Iron Lady at the Xuanwu Street Workshop, and she will be responsible for delivering them to you."
"This...how does this work?" Wang Yao quickly refused: "Twenty percent bonus is too much. You can give us father and son only ten taels of silver each month."
Wang Dong pulled Wang Yao's sleeve. If they didn't accept it, I'm afraid Su Wan wouldn't trust them too much.
"Doctor Su, we just need to do it once."
Wang Yao quickly nodded in agreement.
Su Wan smiled and said: "I will not treat my own people badly. I give you such a high bonus because I hope that your contribution will be proportional to your income."
Wang Dong patted his chest and promised: "Doctor Su thinks highly of us, and we will never betray your trust."
Su Wan drafted a contract and asked father and son to sign it.
"You go back first, and I will arrange someone to cooperate with you." Su Wan also wanted to inspect these two people.
Wang Dong and Wang Yao looked at each other. They said goodbye and left without complaining.
Su Wan originally planned to leave the day after tomorrow and go to Zuixiang Tower again tomorrow. But now that the plan has changed, she will go to Zuixiang Tower again.
