Chapter 461 Sophistry
Song Jin didn't know that Qin Chi had just left.
She thought she would not see him again so soon, but who knew that less than an hour after Qin Chi left, someone from the palace came to take her in, saying that Emperor Mingwu summoned her.
After Prince Rui ascended the throne, the reign title was changed to Mingwu.
That is the current Emperor Wu of Ming.
The reign title was chosen by Prince Rui himself before he ascended the throne. According to him, he and Emperor Mingcheng were brothers, and it was a regret in his life that he did not see Emperor Mingcheng for the last time, so he took the character "Ming". Since he was a military man, he chose the reign title "Mingwu" to commemorate his deceased brother.
At this time in the Qianqing Palace.
The palace where the emperor handles daily government affairs.
Qin Chi was reviewing memorials quickly.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty sat there, brewing tea and flipping through the Zizhi Tongjian, looking so leisurely.
The temple was quiet and harmonious.
The God of War rumored by the outside world looked like a thin old man, the appearance of a person who practiced martial arts for many years. His eyes were bright and sharp, but he squinted them as if by habit, hiding the brilliance of his eyes.
Emperor Mingwu had been guarding the west for many years and had experienced many wars, so the evil spirit on his body must have been very strong. However, since he became the emperor, he began to cultivate his body and mind.
He was smiling all day long, and he did not put on airs in front of his subjects. Compared to Emperor Mingcheng, he was extremely friendly, and often summoned former ministers to drink or chat about gossip. If he did not wear a dragon robe, no one would think that he was the Great Xia God of War that frightened the enemy.
Emperor Mingwu was such an approachable person that none of his ministers dared to neglect him. Instead, they all worked diligently and like slaves.
This is the difference between Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
He was an emperor who convinced everyone.
Emperor Mingwu closed the book and said, "Calculating the time, the people should be here soon."
“Who should arrive?”
Qin Chi put the memorial down, rubbed his arm and asked, "Which other minister did you invite to have tea?"
"No, I invited your wife here."
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty was so shocked when he heard this that he almost dropped the memorial he was about to pick up.
Emperor Mingwu sneered, "Look how scared you are. Is your wife going to eat you? Is the news I heard true?"
"What news did Grandfather hear?"
Thinking that Song Jin would be coming soon, Qin Chi became absent-minded.
Emperor Mingwu said directly: "There are many pieces of news. One is that you and your wife have really divorced. Another is that you brought a beauty back home from the south."
Qin Chi was in no mood to review memorials, so he simply stood up, walked over, lifted up his coat and sat down opposite Emperor Mingwu.
Last year, Qin Chi's divorce from his wife caused a stir in the capital, and Emperor Mingwu naturally heard about it. However, after the rebellion, someone privately proposed to Qin Chi.
Qin Chi openly said that he was a family man and that his previous divorce with his wife was only a temporary solution. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty asked Qin Chi, and Qin Chi said that he would go to Huizhou to pick someone up.
But this time Song Jin came back.
But he hasn't returned home for such a long time.
He didn't even come to the palace to pay his respects.
Emperor Mingwu tried to test his eldest daughter, but she said Song Jin was busy and could not be available. Later, he sent someone to inquire about the relationship between Qin Chi and Song Jin, and found out that there was something wrong with their relationship.
Emperor Mingwu narrowed his eyes, "Since you have divorced, I will find another marriage for you. But Song is a good person, we can't treat her unfairly. Not to mention the medicinal materials she has supplied to the Northwest Army over the years, she donated a large amount of food and grass last year. She also contributed to the suppression of the rebellion in the South this time. I want to make Song a princess and allow her to marry again..."
"Grandfather!"
Qin Chi was so frightened that he interrupted him hastily. When he met the teasing gaze of Emperor Mingwu, he couldn't help feeling helpless.
He poured himself a cup of warm tea.
He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, suppressing the anger rising in his body.
Qin Chi calmed down, and then said in a serious manner: "I, Qin Qi'an, am not the kind of person who can share adversity but not wealth. My wife in this life is Song Jin, and it can only be her."
"Have you confirmed it?" asked Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Chi hummed, "It has to be her."
Emperor Mingwu smiled and looked behind Qin Chi, "Why don't you come in?"
The eunuch responded.
Leading Song Jin in with a complicated expression.
"I, Song Jin, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Song Jin stepped forward and knelt down to pay homage to Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty. She continued to kneel on the ground until he spoke.
When Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty first saw Song Jin, he was surprised by his outstanding appearance. He ordered the palace servants to bring a chair and said, "You have injuries, sit up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Jin thanked him respectfully.
He stood up, walked to the chair and sat down slightly. Every move he made was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Emperor Mingwu asked, "You also heard what Qi'an said just now. What do you think?"
"I know that I am of humble origin and unworthy of..." Song Jin answered frankly.
"Grandfather." Qin Chi stood up and bowed to Emperor Mingwu and pleaded, "I beg you to let me talk to Jin'er alone."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty saw that he did not want to get involved.
Unlike parents who act on their own, he considers himself an open-minded elder. It is rare for his grandson to suddenly show his emotions. He thought that the child's face would not change color even if Mount Tai collapsed.
After standing up and saying a few words, Emperor Mingwu put his hands behind his back and walked out of the hall with brisk steps.
Qin Chi sent away the palace servants who were accompanying him.
The atmosphere in the hall was very tense.
Although there were only two of them, Song Jin felt a depressing atmosphere. She knew that Qin Chi was angry, and very angry. She looked up at Qin Chi.
Until he met Qin Chi's angry gaze.
Qin Chi said self-deprecatingly: "Are you so anxious to distance yourself from me? You're so anxious that you don't even care about the occasion."
"I believe Your Majesty has already heard about our relationship. If I try to conceal it, I would be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor." Song Jin answered slowly.
In an instant, Qin Chi's anger was like a thorn in his throat, unable to move.
I couldn't find any reason to refute her.
Song Jin didn't want to anger Qin Chi, so he thought for a moment and explained, "I was not without hesitation when I said that before. Then I thought that people should be more sincere, but it was a pity that I was interrupted by Lord Qin just as I started."
It's better not to explain this.
Qin Chi's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, rose up again, and he spoke as if he was squeezing out his words from between his teeth, "Song Jin, are you mocking me for being insincere? Are you doubting what I just said?"
"What?" Song Jin asked frankly.
He just said too much.
Qin Chi suddenly stepped towards her.
Song Jin was sitting and he was standing.
It's condescending and oppressive.
The most angry times in Qin Chi's life were all at Song Jin's head. "What did you say? You know it very well. Do you want me to say it again?"
"Is it true that I am the only wife in this life?"
Song Jin stood up slowly.
When they looked at each other, the sense of oppression he gave her suddenly decreased greatly. Especially her calm demeanor, her face, and her helplessness in indulging him in unreasonable troubles.
After a moment of silence, Song Jin sighed and said earnestly, "I cannot deny that I was touched when I heard it suddenly, but when I think about it carefully, the feeling is much weaker. I know that scholars love reputation the most. It is not good to abandon your original wife when you are successful, but Lord Qin, eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. You must accept the reality sooner or later, and don't let your relatives worry, which will cause trouble to others."
"Song Jin, you are doing very well."
Qin Chi was so angry that he almost left in anger.
He strode to the front of the palace gate, then suddenly turned around and walked back.
He really couldn't do anything to her! If you see any typos, please remind me, my dears.
