Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 393
Qin Shao didn't expect that Mao Cheng would be so unafraid that he would become very ill within a few days.

Thinking back to the crazy face of that fellow when he welcomed him into Beijing, he thought he was a ruthless person, but he didn't want to be so careless.

In many cases, this person is like the weather, the thunder is loud and the rain is little.

The more bluffing people are, in fact, they are often not so strong inside, and the really tough people are often not so much nonsense.

In Qin Shao's previous life, he had cooperated with a cancer hospital on a project.

In order to understand the patient's mental state and consumption psychology, he once conducted research there for three months.

After observation, he found that those who have a strong personality and like to bluff, especially those who often claim that their heads have fallen off, which is nothing more than a scar, and if they get sick, they can just do euthanasia, when faced with such a serious illness, basically They are all the most cowardly!

Those kind of people usually have problems, or they are crying and desperately wanting to live, especially if they are very poor. They would not spend money if they said big things, but they will suddenly become very selfish, regardless of whether their family members live or die, and blindly spend money to survive.

Either he was frightened and dumbfounded, and he was stunned, or he would burp soon!
On the contrary, those who talk about life and death frankly and are afraid of death, when faced with such a major problem, have psychological construction, and often deal with it calmly, and try their best to cooperate with the courage to survive.

Oncology patients can live long or short, and mentality plays a decisive role in many cases.

Therefore, after a few months of research there, Qin Shao met the kind of person who said how happy and fearless he was when he was seriously ill and faced life and death, so he laughed it off.

When people are afraid in their hearts, they tend to avoid harm, and they use deliberate toughness to cover up their timidity and cowardice.

People like Mao Cheng are usually arrogant, and it is not unusual for them to be scared to death when facing life and death.

"What is the attitude of Mao Cheng's two sons?"

Qin Shao put down the book and asked quietly.

"They seem to have contacted Mr. Zhang Cong and said that they are willing to sell [-] mu of fertile land in Kunshan. Mr. Zhang didn't dare to tell you, but only revealed it to me a little bit. I think he wants me to test your tone... "

Wang Yin said directly.

"Well, go and tell them about this matter, let him contact Yan Song to deal with it, wait for those places to go through the formalities, let them take your father back, the prison is not plentiful these days, always stay in there It's not a problem, what do you think?"

Qin Shao smiled and looked at Wang Yin.

"What the Lord said is that I will go to Master Yan to talk about it!"

Wang Yin laughed and walked out in response.

……

After sorting out the notes in his hand, Qin Shao went to Kunning Palace under the service of Zhang Zuo.

When Qin Shao arrived at Kunning Palace, he only saw Su Jin coming out to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the empress has gone to the old concubine's palace to pick up the two young masters and the little princess, and she will be back in a while. The meal is already prepared. Would you like to serve it first?"

Su Jin came over to salute.

The imperial dining room is also full of people brought by Anluzhou, and their meals are all small stoves. After Han Jinrong came, she would often go to the dining room to help him arrange his favorite meals just like her hometown.

According to the previous rules, the meals of the emperor and empress should be prepared by a special imperial dining room, and it is rare for an empress to go to the back kitchen to give instructions.

But no matter how the harem is managed by their own people, no one dares to say anything.

As for the Chaotang side, there is a great turmoil now, most of the people in various departments have been replaced, many people have since resigned, and some even joined the big boss quietly, and most of the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital have also been arrested. , The prison is overcrowded.

At this time, no one dared to jump out and point out the life of the new emperor and empress, let alone talk about the so-called rules!
Yuan Guo's uncle, Zhang Heling, and his brothers had previously tossed about the placement of the harem personnel, and Zhang Tianhou even complained to Qin Shao.

Within a few days, rumors spread that they were getting close to Yang Tinghe, and someone from Dali Temple even went to inquire about the situation, which frightened the two brothers from hiding in the mansion recently and did not dare to come out.

Empress Dowager Zhang asked someone to talk to Qin Shao because her brother was questioned by Dali Temple. Qin Shao ignored her because he was too busy with affairs in the court.I heard that she complained in the palace, dropped a vase, and beat two maids in the palace, seeing that no one paid attention to her, she gradually lost her temper.

"No, I'm not hungry right now, just wait for them to come back together!"

Qin Shao waved his hand.

Su Jin asked the servants to serve a bowl of iced bean paste porridge to relieve the heat. It is already summer and people tend to be irritable when it gets hot day by day.

Just after taking a few sips, there was a bustling noise outside.

Qin Shao got up and saw two meat dumplings running towards the room where he was staying under the guard of the maid.

"Father...father..."

The youngest daughter, Fuai, has a sharp mouth and has learned to call people, but she is vague.

The eldest son, Zhu Zaiyu, is now a fat boy, and he doesn't call anyone, but just runs towards him in a leisurely manner.

The corners of Qin Shao's mouth raised involuntarily, and he stepped forward to hold the two children.

To be honest, unlike the descriptions in many TV dramas and literary works, Qin Shao was of course excited the moment he knew his wife was pregnant.

After all, it's a wonderful feeling for a man to have something passed down through his blood.

But as for the fact that the child was not born in the wife's stomach, if you want to talk about how deep the relationship is, it is actually too illusory.

Especially after the child was born, he has been busy outside. Although he was very excited to see the children, sometimes looking at the two meatballs lying on the ground always felt unreal.

Those two villains turned out to be his own blood, and he was already a father!
Touched is moved, but the true feelings for the children are still the feelings of getting along with each other for a long time.

Especially this time his wife brought the children into the palace. Although he is busy with things, he gets along day and night, and the two children are already clingy, and the relationship is gradually warming up. There will be a sense of emptiness.

It wasn't until the noise of children appeared at home that there was a real sense of steadfastness.

The two children ran all the way over, sweat dripping from their heads.

Qin Shao wiped their sweat with a towel, and evened two small bowls of smoothie porridge that was not so cold on the table for the two little guys.

The two little guys seemed to be hungry too, they picked up the small spoons and rushed to eat, eating all over their clothes.

Han Jinrong walked in with her second son in her arms.

The youngest son is clinging right now, clinging to his mother all the time, but his eyes are flickering as he watches his elder brother and sister grabbing food, with anticipation in his eyes.

Qin Shao reached out to hug him, but he lay directly on Han Jinrong's shoulder, hiding his cheeks.

"When will Grandpa come back?"

Han Jinrong handed the youngest son to Sujin, and greeted the officials and maids to serve meals.

She knew that Qin Shao was busy outside all day, so he must be hungry. He didn't eat now, probably because he was waiting for them to come back.

"Just came back for a while, how is the concubine's mental state?"

Qin Shao wiped the child's mouth, asked the maid to lead him to wash his hands, and asked the old concubine how he was doing.

He was busy the past few days, he came back late, the old concubine was getting old, and he had an early rest time at night, so he didn't go there.

"The concubine is in good health. I was worried that the children would be making noise over there, which would affect the concubine's rest. I thought about going there every other day and resting at home today. Who knew that the concubine was not at ease. She thought the children were sick and knew that she was fine. Let the children go there. The concubine is getting old, and although her vigor is not comparable to that of young people, she still likes to be lively, and she especially likes children."

Han Jinrong smiled.

"Well, the concubine has been alone in the palace for many years, and usually during festivals, Wang Yun's daughter-in-law can go to see her. Now that we are in the palace, we naturally hope to see each other every day. If you are not busy, you often take care of the children. Let's go and have a look!"

Qin Shao exhorted.

"Got it, lord! By the way, the concubine mentioned the old prince today, I think she still misses the old prince very much, but this meeting..."

Han Jinrong sighed.

Although they are now in the palace to alleviate the loneliness of many old concubines, and the old concubine has seen her great-grandson these days, and her mental state is much better than before.

But Han Jinrong still felt that the old concubine cared about Lao Xingwang. How could a mother not miss her son?
In order to prevent the old concubine from being too concerned, they did not tell the old concubine the news of the "death" of King Xing.

"Tell the old concubine to take good care of her body. As long as she is in good health, she will be able to meet her father!"

Qin Shao paused for a moment and said.

"Master, you mean...you mean the old concubine can see her father? But..."

Han Jinrong asked in surprise.

Ever since her granddaughter-in-law entered the palace, the old concubine treated her very well, allowing Han Jinrong to experience the long-lost family affection.

Although Han Jinrong was well-bred in the Han family, her grandmother was strict and treated them very strictly, and her uncle's family had three daughters, and her own grandmother had several grandchildren, so her relationship with her granddaughter was just average.

As for the mother, although she was good to her, she came to the capital with her father later, and the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for several years. Although she had a strong personality, she still longed for family affection. Now she has long regarded the old concubine as her own grandmother.

Seeing the old concubine miss her son, she felt even more uncomfortable.

But knowing the royal rules of the Ming Dynasty, although my husband is now the emperor, he has not been in office for a long time, so he can't make an exception, and he can't immediately change the so-called ancestral system at will.

Now Qin Shao said that the old concubine was able to see Lao Xing Wang, so he was naturally very surprised.

"It's just Master Zhu seeing the old concubine, not King Xing seeing the old concubine!"

"By the way, let Xiao Sanzi and the others clean up the manor on the outskirts of Beijing. After a while, you settle down, and you take the children and the old concubine to the manor to escape the summer heat."

Qin Shao laughed.

"understood!"

Han Jinrong happily agreed.

After the dinner was served, the family had a lively dinner.

The kids are tired from running all day.

Han Jinrong asked the nanny and maid to take the children to rest, and she helped Qin Shao to wash up.

Their current life in the palace is not very different from the previous one outside, and Qin Shao is very satisfied with the current situation.

The emperor is just a job to him, work is work, life is life!
If he completely loses his life because of being the emperor, this is not the life he needs. Of course, for such a life, he still has a lot of things to do.

"By the way, sir, there is one more thing I have to tell you!"

When Han Jinrong was tidying up the bed, she suddenly turned and said to Qin Shao.

"what's up?"

"At the old concubine's place today, Concubine Rong Shuxian paid a sudden visit."

"What was she doing there? Is there something wrong?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised.

Concubine Rong Shuxian, Shen Shi, was one of the concubines of the late emperor Zhu Houzhao, and was given to him by local officials when Zhu Houzhao went to Datong.

Shen was born in a family of merchants. She was beautiful, literate, gentle and generous. She was given to a local official in Datong by her family, and the official gave it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Hou took care of Shen who was obedient and docile, and took care of him in daily life when he was in Datong, so he took him back to the palace and named him Rong Shuxian Concubine.

Speaking of which, this Shen family is also a poor person, since she was sent to the palace, she rarely saw Zhu Hou face to face.

The courtyard where Mrs. Shen lives is relatively close to the old concubine. After she got acquainted with the old concubine, Mrs. Shen often took care of her.

However, Qin Shao only knew that there was such a person, and he didn't know her relationship with the old concubine.

It was Han Jinrong who discovered this situation after entering the palace, and chatted with Qin Shao about this situation in his spare time.

But now that Qin Shao became the new emperor, the status of the old concubine naturally rose, and the palace where she lived was also changed to the Palace of Compassion, which was not very close to where Shen Shi lived.

Even though Mrs. Chen would still go to see the old concubine, it's just that Han Jinrong and the others are there. According to the normal situation, Mrs. Chen shouldn't bother her. What is this woman suddenly going to do?
"Master, you are so right! She really has something to do!"

Han Jinrong said in a low voice.

Han Jinrong and the old concubine were watching the three children playing, and Han Jinrong was also very surprised when Mrs. Shen came in.

She knew about Shen's existence, Han Jinrong visited the old concubine after entering the palace, and had a clear understanding of the situation around her.

Chen shi had a close relationship with the old concubine before, but since the old concubine moved to the Palace of Compassion, Shen shi's visits to the old concubine have decreased.

Because of her care for the old concubine, Han Jinrong also took care of Shen shi a lot when the palace staff was reconfigured.

Han Jinrong had a good impression of Shen's, she had a good sense of advance and retreat, neither flattering nor too many other thoughts.

Knowing that she was in the old concubine's yard today, why did she come in suddenly.

Now Han Jinrong is the empress, Qin Shao and Zhu Houzhao are cousins, and Zhu Houzhao has no heirs. Although the Shen family, including Zhu Houzhao's queen, the Xia family, are all enshrined in the palace, they do not have the honor of a queen mother.

Therefore, when she met Han Jinrong, she naturally wanted to pay her respects.

Even though she was surprised by Shen's appearance, Han Jinrong still showed due courtesy.

It's just that after seeing the old concubine, Shen did not leave for a long time.

The old concubine is also a shrewd person. Knowing that Mrs. Shen came here, she must be looking for Han Jinrong. To be precise, she should be looking for the current queen.

"The lotus root is blooming on the other side of the pond. I'll take the children to see the flowers! You can talk to Concubine Xian!"

The old concubine asked the maid to take the children out together, and Tu kept the two in the room.

Shen's face was a little embarrassed, but she stood up gratefully and followed Han Jinrong to see the old concubine off.

"Empress Empress, I came here today really... I really want to do something... request... ask Empress Empress for help."

As soon as the old concubine left the house, Shen directly bowed to Han Jinrong and said.

"Concubine Xian, you don't need to be polite, it's just that we are all women in the harem, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. If there is any shortage of daily food and accommodation in the harem, just tell me! Your Majesty and the late emperor are cousins, let me tell you nothing. I want to say that the late emperor took good care of His Majesty before, and you are the late emperor's concubine, so we will naturally take good care of you."

Han Jinrong said politely.

"Empress Empress... I... I know I shouldn't say this. The court affairs are men's affairs. We women should not interfere. The men in Yang's mansion will be executed at the Meridian Gate in three days. This matter is a state matter. I ...I absolutely dare not interfere. What I am asking for today is a woman's business. My aunt is too pitiful and kind to me. I have no choice but to let me finish my sentence. Whether to help or not..."

Shen said eagerly.

"What about the Yang residence?"
