The Favoured Medical Princess: 841 ascended the throne (two updates in one)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
On October 12th, the autumn wind rustled in the northern royal capital. The once prosperous Dayu Palace was still immersed in the haze of the collapse of the emperor, and the autumn mood was cool...
In the Yongle Palace, the maids and chamberlains were all silent and trembling in their words and deeds.
Ever since the emperor’s funeral, the Queen Mother has been like a firecracker that has been set on fire, ready to explode and injure people at any time. Fortunately, Prince Gong knows how to honor his elders and comes to Yongle Palace every day to talk to the Queen Mother and comfort her. Another solution.
No, early in the morning, Prince Gong came to pay his respects to the Queen Mother again.
"Grandma Huang," Han Lingfu bowed respectfully, looked at the Queen Mother on the Luohan bed, and said with concern, "my grandson saw that Grandma Huang couldn't stop coughing yesterday, so he went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for some Sichuan clam loquats. Cream..." As he said that, Han Lingfu raised his hand and made a gesture, and Xiao Lizi handed a fist-sized porcelain jar with a white background and blue lines to an old nanny next to the Queen Mother.
Han Lingfu's words were gentle and considerate, which made the Queen Mother feel very comfortable after hearing this. She just felt that it was fortunate that Emperor Daxing had a filial son, unlike the prince and others...
"Mistress, you've got your heart set on it. Sit down and talk." The Queen Mother's eyes were a little moist, and she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Han Lingfu lifted up his robe and sat down, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised at an angle that the Queen Mother could not see.
On that day, he did not deliberately drag Aunt Yongyang into trouble, but it was just the right time. He did not want to die himself, so he would have to divert the trouble away!
Later, his father was found to have taken Wuhe ointment. Han Lingfu was also afraid and worried about it, fearing that it would be found on him. After all, Wuhe ointment was brought back from Baiyue by his concubine. After all, he was always at his father's side during that time...
Unexpectedly, the rumor he had previously spread that the Zhennan Palace was forcing the Crown Prince to have an unexpected effect at this time, actually dragged the Fifth Emperor's younger brother into the water as well.
This is really God helping him!
Sure enough, destiny is definitely on his side!
Since even the destiny of heaven is on his side and the emperor is ordered by heaven, then what does the fifth emperor's brother count? !
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said submissively: "Royal Grandma, it's cold in the morning and evening these days, so you should take care of yourself."
Han Lingfu said this from the bottom of his heart. The only person who can help him confront the Fifth Emperor's brother and the Queen now is the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother must not make any mistakes!
He has to work harder to convince the Queen Mother that his father was murdered by the Fifth Emperor's brother and Aunt Yongyang. It is best to let the Queen Mother make the decision to depose the prince. Then he will be the only remaining prince. Best for boarding Dabao.
After that, even if I did nothing, ministers would come to support me, and everything would fall into place!
The Queen Mother, however, knew nothing about Han Lingfu's wishful thinking. She sighed quietly and said: "Xiao San, the Imperial Grandmother knows that you are filial, but your father died in an unknown manner. In the past month, the Imperial Grandmother has My heart has been clenched, how can I feel at ease! The Imperial Grandmother must seek justice for your father!"
The sound of the Queen Mother's gnashing of teeth echoed in the palace and did not disperse for a long time. Han Lingfu was secretly happy and pretended to comfort the Queen Mother again.
The rising sun is rising, but instead of showing signs of dissipating, the haze above Yongle Palace is getting thicker...
As time passed, the Queen Mother and her cabinet ministers were in a stalemate, and the new emperor never ascended the throne. What followed was some secret speculation. There was some turmoil in the government and the public, and even the people gradually became dissatisfied. There were some criticisms, which became more and more intense...
Cheng Dongyang and other cabinet ministers knew all this, but they were helpless.
On the first day of November, the first assistant Cheng Dongyang and the six ministers gathered in the cabinet hall to discuss matters. Several adults were either worried, watching indifferently, or harboring evil intentions... with different thoughts.
"Sir Cheng," Chen Yuanzhou, the Minister of War, said to Cheng Dongyang seriously, "in three days, it will be 7749 days until the funeral of Emperor Daxing. As usual, Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace should be moved in. The imperial mausoleum... If the prince does not ascend the throne, the lower officials are afraid that chaos and unrest will be caused by the government and the people..." Today's Dayu can no longer withstand any turmoil. If there is another barbarian invasion or the likes of King Yu and King Yan, With such chaotic civil strife, I am afraid that the Dayu building will really collapse...
But Chen Yuanzhou did not dare to say the following words.
Cheng Dongyang didn't understand, he just felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. His brows were furrowed, and he looked quite haggard after more than a month of hard work.
Cheng Dongyang, En Guogong and other ministers all hope that the prince will ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the court situation. However, the Queen Mother has already spoken harsh words to the ministers. As long as the prince dares to ascend the throne when the cause of the emperor's death is unknown, she will die headlong. The emperor's coffin was covered in blood! When the time comes, she will see how the prince can silence everyone in the world and how he can conquer the hearts of the courtiers and the people!
She wants to see if the prince is capable of being a tyrant!
This sentence is almost heartbreaking!
If the Queen Mother is really like this, then the Prince's ascension to the throne will make the situation in Dayu more turbulent, and they will have to take action.
During this period, Cheng Dongyang was very troubled.
They also want to find out the cause of the emperor's death, but it concerns the royal family, how to find out? !
Even if someone dies in the family of an honorable minister, the three divisions can interrogate and find out the truth. But when it comes to the royal family, they can be questioned but not interrogated, let alone punished. They can't even rashly send troops to search for evidence in various palaces. How should we investigate this case? !
Dali Temple does not dare to investigate, the Ministry of Punishment does not dare to investigate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not dare to investigate!
Cheng Dongyang lowered his eyes and remained silent, but Li Heng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, suddenly spoke to Chen Yuanzhou: "Master Chen, the Queen Mother's concerns are not unreasonable. If the prince ascends the throne at this time, it will be unfair." Shun..."
Gu Mo, the Minister of Punishment, also echoed righteously: "Master Li is saying that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If someone in the palace boldly commits regicide, this cancer should be uncovered!" Gu Mo Although he did not name the prince who committed regicide, the implication is clear.
Cheng Dongyang glanced at Li Heng and Gu Mo calmly. Now the six ministers are in unison. Li Heng and Gu Mo are both members of the Gongjun royal family. There are other ministers who are still waiting to see the situation. There are other members of the Gongjun royal family who are using the name of the Queen Mother to pretend to be powerful and jump up and down...
Even though he is the chief assistant, he cannot control people's hearts!
Cheng Dongyang’s heart is like a mirror, and he knows that if he delays it any longer, he may soon be unable to control the situation in the court...
Suddenly, there was a burst of messy and rapid footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of the collision of armor, and several ministers subconsciously followed the sound.
Accompanied by the heavy footsteps, a breathless voice shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgent, there is an urgent military situation in Western Xinjiang!"
Hearing this sentence, everyone in the hall changed their expressions and their hearts sank.
Soon, a veteran soldier, led by a young chamberlain, quickly walked into the hall, knelt down and clasped his fists in front of Cheng Dongyang and all the adults, and said anxiously: "Master Cheng, eight hundred miles is urgent. Military report! The 20,000 Southern Xinjiang troops stationed west of Feixia Mountain moved and entered Feixia Mountain directly. The army came from the east..."
The soldier raised his head and looked directly at Cheng Dongyang and the others. His square face was unshaven and his eyes were red. After speaking a series of words in one breath, his voice was hoarse and harsh.
The adults in the hall felt that each other's words were like thousands of arrows shooting straight at them, almost thinking that they heard wrongly.
Is the Southern Xinjiang Army going to invade the Central Plains from Western Xinjiang? !
It seems that Zhennan Palace is really planning to rebel!
The adults were all horrified. Their eyes fell on the soldiers who came to convey the message, including the ministers who had originally planned to wait and see what happened. They could no longer deal with it indifferently.
Everyone in Dayu knows that Feixia Mountain is as important as Yanmen Pass and is the most important barrier in the western border of Dayu.
Since the beginning of the year, the Southern Xinjiang Army replaced the Western Night Army and occupied Feixia Mountain. It has been stationed in place for more than half a year and seems to have no intention of marching eastward. Unexpectedly, it has mobilized its troops without warning!
Li Heng and Gu Mo looked at each other, their backs covered in cold sweat and their middle clothes soaked with sweat.
Prince Gong told them that the Zhennan Palace was just scaremongering and would never risk the disgrace of the world to conquer Dayu in the Central Plains. Those words were still ringing in their ears, but the reality slapped them in the face and hurt them. , fear arises in my heart...
The Minister of Rites was sweating profusely and said: "Sir Cheng, the Zhennan Palace is offering courtesy first and then fighting..."
That’s right, be polite first and then attack with force.
Last time, the Zhennan Palace sent an envoy to congratulate the Crown Prince on his enthronement in front of all the officials, but the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne. Since the court ignored it, the Southern Xinjiang Army just marched eastward...
This is a naked threat!
Now the Southern Xinjiang Army is just marching, but what’s the next step?
Is the next step going to be to attack the city? !
The Southern Xinjiang Army defeated the wolf-like and tiger-like Xiye people and surrendered, and even captured Baiyue and Nanliang. There is no doubt about its combat power. So, the Dayu Army has such elite troops. How long can it survive under the attack of soldiers? !
If Dayu really comes to the point where the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, then these ministers will be Dayu's criminals. Who knows how they will be reviled in the history books in the future, and they will be infamy for thousands of years!
The whole hall was completely silent, even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Time seemed to slow down...until Cheng Dongyang stood up resolutely and said: "The military situation in Western Xinjiang is urgent. All officials should be summoned to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince immediately!"
The other cabinet ministers looked at each other and all responded without objection.
The palace then became commotion and noisy. An hour later, the Jinshen Hall was crowded with civil and military officials. All the ministers heard the military report from Xijiang. The atmosphere was like dark clouds, and a storm was coming.
In the hall, no one dared to speak out to welcome the "battle". After a while, a minister said with insufficient confidence that the Zhennan Palace clearly used the "empty city strategy" to intimidate and would never dare to attack the city!
Immediately afterwards, someone asked, if there is an emergency, can he afford it? !
Han Lingfan, wearing a bright yellow prince's robe, sat at the top, looking down at the ministers who were all occupied with their own thoughts, pursed his lips, his eyes dimmed, and allowed them to quarrel below.
This scene looks so familiar!
I used to be like this to Chang Di, I used to be like this to Xiye, and I still am like this now!
These are his wealthy civil and military officials, the pillars of the imperial court...
The noise in the hall soon stopped, and another muffled thunder exploded immediately after the Xijiang Military Report!
A little chamberlain came to report with a slight trembling: "Your Highness, the envoys sent by the Zhennan Palace have entered the royal capital!"
The civil and military officials were silent, thinking: The envoys from Zhennan Palace are probably waiting for this military report from Western Xinjiang before entering the city. Those who come are not good and kind, and they will not come.
In that long silence, a tall and handsome young soldier strode to the Jinshen Hall, walked forward without being humble or arrogant under the gaze of hundreds of officials, and faced the crown prince Han Lingfan directly.
"Li Zicheng, the loyal general of the Southern Xinjiang Army, met with His Royal Highness Prince Dayu, and I came to the capital to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor on the prince's order!"
Li Zicheng's voice, which was not particularly loud, sounded in the hall, but it was so thunderous that the officials did not dare to look directly at it.
The implication of Li Zicheng's words is clearly that he wants to stay in the king and not leave, and he wants to wait for the prince to ascend the throne!
This is clearly the spy sent by King Zhennan to the royal capital, and this spy is sent out openly and honestly.
This step is an upright conspiracy!
It depends on Dayu whether he will answer it or not!
The corners of Li Zicheng's lips are slightly raised, his posture is like a pine tree, and he seems to be calm and relaxed.
In contrast, the civil and military officials were hunched and frightened. They felt as if there was a huge sword swinging from the west in front of them, and the sword was already hanging high above the royal capital...
Prince Han Lingfan and Li Zicheng, who was standing in the center of the palace, looked directly at each other. All the officials thought that all this was controlled by King Zhennan, but Han Lingfan's heart was like a mirror, and he knew that all this was controlled by King Zhennan. The prince Xiao Yi’s meaning!
Han Lingfan took a deep breath, opened his lips and greeted Prince Zhennan and his son, and then ordered his chamberlain to take Li Zicheng down to Chaotianyi to stay temporarily.
Li Zicheng did not stay long. After thanking the prince, he left the Jinshen Palace and walked towards the palace gate with swift steps. Soon, he heard the minister's voice faintly coming from the palace behind:
"His Royal Highness, it has been more than a month since the death of Emperor Daxing. Please express your condolences. The country cannot live without a king for a day, so please ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm the people and stabilize the country!"
Immediately afterwards, the ministers echoed in unison: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
Li Zicheng stopped and looked back, only to see that all the officials in the palace were dwarfed and kneeling on the ground, completely dark...
The corner of Li Zicheng's mouth curved into a mocking arc. It seemed that his mission was going very smoothly, and he might be able to return to southern Xinjiang early.
Li Zicheng turned back without hesitation and continued walking forward. This time, he never stopped again.
In the palace, Han Lingfan had been watching Li Zicheng go away, and then he looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground. His eyes were dry, his chest was roaring, and his mood was complicated.
When all the ministers surrendered, he seemed to be high-spirited, but the experiences of the past year flashed quickly in front of his eyes. Those encounters and the neglect were still vivid in his mind. He knew that even if he successfully ascended the throne, he would not be the same person. Broad road.
Ascending to the throne of God is just the first step...
If you want to change Dayu, the road ahead will be long and arduous.
The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
With the arrival of Li Zicheng, the government and the public seemed to be united and actively supported the crown prince Han Lingfan to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
The Queen Mother was unwilling to give in. She summoned all the elders and clan members to meet with her and made a big fuss. However, this time, the situation was very different.
United as one, the Queen, with the acquiescence and support of the clan, asked the Queen Mother to "rest in peace" in Yongle Palace.
The implication is that the Queen Mother should be placed under house arrest in Yongle Palace.
In the face of absolute power, no matter how much the Queen Mother says, it is useless. Even if she wants to commit suicide by crashing into the coffin, she still needs others to give her this chance!
In the final analysis, the right to speak is in the hands of those in power!
Without the Queen Mother's obstruction, everything went much smoother.
On the second day of November, several cabinet ministers headed by Cheng Dongyang came to Fengluan Palace and impassionedly knelt down to ask the queen to choose a day to invite the prince to ascend the throne.
The cabinet ministers had already discussed the matter of enthroning the throne. So far, it was just a formality. Then the queen chose a date, and finally decided that the prince would ascend the throne on the sixth day of November...
Everyone in the government and the public breathed a sigh of relief, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly prepared for the enthronement ceremony.
Then, the news that the prince was about to ascend the throne spread throughout the capital as quickly as if it had wings. The whole capital burst into joy, dispersing the sadness of the emperor's death. Wisps of sunshine faintly penetrated the dark clouds in the sky, and dawn began to emerge. ……
In the afternoon of that day, Crown Prince Han Lingfan left the palace under the **** of the imperial guards and went to Princess Yongyang's mansion in person. After that, the soldiers who had been outside the princess's mansion for more than a month finally retreated. Han Lingfan met Yongyang with a bow and respectfully invited him to join the court to assist in the government.
On the sixth day of November, the prince ascended the throne with the support of the chief minister and hundreds of officials. He was worshiped by hundreds of officials at the Jinluan Palace and shouted "Long live long live long live" in unison. Subsequently, the new emperor granted amnesty to the world.
On the 9th day of the 11th month, the spirit of Daxing Emperor Zi Gong was raised and moved into the imperial mausoleum.
In the court hall, everything had settled, and no one mentioned the various doubts about the late emperor's death anymore, as if nothing had happened.
However, this is not the case among the people. The delay in the new emperor's accession to the throne has attracted a lot of speculation and gossip.
Some people swore that since ancient times, if there was no accident, the death of an emperor would last for seven or forty-nine days. However, Emperor Daxing stayed in the palace for a full fifty-four days, which took such a long time. , there is clearly an ulterior motive in it!
Some people say that the delay in the new emperor's accession to the throne is due to his bad character. It is because the Empress Dowager did not attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
Some people also question how the late emperor died suddenly and suddenly when he was still in the prime of life and still in his prime. !
……
For a time, various rumors spread among the people, and all kinds of suspicious eyes were directed at the new emperor.
Over the years, the late emperor has been erratic on the issue of establishing a heir, which has caused party disputes among the people and led to instability in the court. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he should have stabilized the court as soon as possible. However, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. This year in Jingjing There are floods in the state again, and the victims are homeless, causing chaos and banditry.
One after another, the documents were rushed to the court at a cost of 800 miles, because of internal worries.
In both the government and the public, many courtiers were even more worried that King Zhennan would send troops directly to the royal capital at some unknown time. They felt that the Southern Xinjiang army was eyeing Dayu in Western and Southern Xinjiang as a foreign invasion.
It has only been a few days since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the people of Dayu Palace are in turmoil, and the situation is precarious...
In this solemn atmosphere, Han Lingfan was busy dealing with various court affairs every day. The rooster crowed and stayed up until midnight. The lights in the royal study often stayed up all night, making him extremely busy.
The queen, now the queen mother, was heartbroken as she watched her son lose weight day by day. She could only ask the maids around Han Lingfan to take good care of the new emperor's dragon body.
On November 11th, during the morning court, after the young **** said, "If you have a book, you will submit a memorial, but if you don't have a book, you will withdraw from the court." A middle-aged minister immediately walked out of the queue. , concentrate on managing the affairs of the court, and make the court look like a new one, and then express its true purpose sonorously and forcefully:
"The late emperor was buried and the queen was buried. I knew that the emperor was in deep mourning, and I wanted to keep filial piety for the late emperor. However, the emperor was still weak. The royal family has no queen, which is not good for the country. Your Majesty, in order to make the country prosperous, I also ask the emperor to marry a wife as soon as possible and appoint a queen. , Only then can we continue to have heirs for the royal family, so that there will be successors to the country!"
In the Jinluan Palace, there was silence for a moment, and then there was a noise.
The courtiers looked at each other in confusion at first, and then felt it was natural.
In the folk, there is also the custom of getting married during the hot filial period, but it is very rare. It is usually because the bride and groom are too old to wait, and it is a last resort, which is not a glorious thing.
But this matter is another matter when it comes to the royal family. After all, the heirs of the royal family are related to the country...
Looking at the astonished expression of the new emperor, the ministers exchanged looks again. It seemed that this incident was not arranged by the new emperor.
Before the new emperor could speak, another minister walked out of the queue, also bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu is saying that it is not good for the country and the country to have the throne vacant. The eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace is well-educated and sensible. , with a good reputation, I think that he is the only candidate for the queen!"
Immediately afterwards, ministers came out one by one to express their "advocacy", and the approval of the courtiers echoed in the Jinluan Hall one after another, which was quite united.
For today's turbulent Dayu, marriage with Zhennan Palace can stabilize people's hearts and the political situation, deter other barbarians who covet Dayu, and also appease Zhennan Palace and Southern Xinjiang...
It can be said that there are hundreds of benefits and no harm...
The ministers all looked at the new emperor with their sharp eyes, waiting for his response...
Outside the Jinluan Palace, the cold wind gusted. It was mid-November and the king's capital had already entered the cold winter. That night, a goose-feather-like heavy snow fell, freezing it to one's bones.
Thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, November is still the weather of late autumn, with crisp autumn air, light clouds and gentle wind.
It wasn't until late November that the weather in southern Xinjiang gradually turned colder... By early December, it finally felt like winter. The weather was cold in the morning and evening, especially in the suburbs of the city, where the cold wind was howling.
On this day, over the large camp on the outskirts of Luoyue City, a group of birds took a detour. A gray eagle hovered domineeringly in the sky, announcing that it was the overlord of the sky with bursts of loud eagle cries. At a glance, Go away, and there is only one eagle flying in the blue sky.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yi brought Xiao Yu to the Luoyue City camp as usual, but today was a little different from usual.
Three thousand Nanliang horses just arrived from Nanliang last night. The whole military camp was excited about it. All the eyes of each battalion and army were fixed on these horses. They were training with great momentum, just like that The male peacock spreads his tail in full bloom.
New stables are being built urgently, so a large piece of grassland has been temporarily circled in the northwest of the camp to temporarily house these military horses. From a distance, you can see the vigorous horses. In the enclosed guardrail, you can eat grass, walk, drink water, or run...
"Daddy!"
Outside the guardrail, Xiao Tuanzi, who was held in his arms by his father, was very happy. It was the first time for him to see so many horses. His round head looked left and right for a while, and he felt that his eyes could hardly see through them.
"Dad, look..." The little guy pointed forward with his chubby fingers enthusiastically, introducing each one to his father, "Red horse! Black horse! White horse! Brown horse!" He smiled happily. He frowned and muttered repeatedly.
Seeing that Shisun liked it, the young general who led the way also laughed heartily and said to Xiao Yi: "Master Shisun, those ponies are specially detained in one place, please come with me."
The young general led Xiao Yi and his son along the guardrail. After a while, they came to a smaller horse pen, where eight or nine little horses were pacing. He seems to have a pretty docile temperament.
"You brat," Xiao Yi casually bumped the round meat dumpling in his arms, "pick a horse for yourself!"
Xiaotuanzi tilted his head suspiciously, not sure if he understood, then patted his father's arm, "Choose for yourself." He twisted his body and tried to get off the ground.
Xiao Yi put the little guy on the grass in an obedient manner. Just as he was about to talk to him patiently about horse racing, he saw the little guy running away in the same way as he was walking back and forth, and then flexibly ducked, I just want to get into another horse pen next to it...
How could Xiao Yi let him succeed? He grabbed the little guy by the collar and pulled him back.
The little guy turned his head in confusion and looked at him innocently with his big eyes like paint, as if to say, Daddy, why are you holding me? !
"..." Xiao Yi looked at the tall horses in the horse pen in front of him speechlessly, and his eyes twitched.
He almost forgot that this brat in their family is obviously not that big yet, but he is bold and ambitious, and his ambition is even more "lofty". He wants to run before he can walk steadily, and wants to climb a tree before he can run fast... ...No, he obviously doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, but he wants to pick a tall horse!
"Forget it!" Xiao Yi held his forehead, skillfully picked up the brat, and took him directly into the pony's pen. After glancing around, he picked a white pony and put the brat in his arms on the horse's back.
These foals were originally chosen to be presented to the grandson, so they are naturally gentle in temperament. Even if a heavy object suddenly appeared on their backs, they would just snort lightly and shake it leisurely. Just a ponytail.
Although this is just a small pony, only as high as Xiao Yi's waist, but it is already very tall for the little guy, but Xiao Yu often rides horses with his father on weekdays. It was common to fly over the walls and climb over the walls, and he had long been accustomed to it. Not only was he not afraid, but he was extremely happy. He moved his feet on the horse's back, as if he was imitating an adult's horse riding.
Xiao Yi could not help but curl his lips slightly as he looked at it, and made a gesture to the groom in gray clothes beside him, who quickly put the bit on the white pony.
Next, just as the little guy wishes, take him to walk the horse.
Just pacing the horse for a little while, Xiao Tuanzi was already satisfied. The giggles kept escaping from his lips and teeth, attracting many nearby army lieutenants to look at Xiao Yu with brilliant eyes. , thought to himself: Although their grandson is less than two years old, look at his courage, he is already quite like his father!
After strolling around slowly, Xiao Yi planned to carry Xiao Yu off the horse, but he heard a familiar roar from behind: "No... A Yi, what are you doing?!"
Xiao Yi held the little guy's bulging waist with one hand, turned around and looked at the sound, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist staring at him with angry eyes outside the guardrail a few feet away. Looking at himself, his eyes almost burst out with fire, and the veins on his forehead are clearly visible.
It is the King of Zhennan!
The King of Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi angrily. He heard that a group of Nanliang horses came from the army today, so he excitedly came to the camp to have a look. He did not expect to see such a scene!
Xiao Yi looked at the King of Zhennan casually and said confidently: "Father, I am riding a horse with the brat!"
This traitor! King Zhennan pointed at Xiao Yi with trembling fingers. This traitor still didn't feel that he was at fault! How old is their brother Yu, but he is really big-hearted enough to take such a young child to ride a horse!
Nonsense! What nonsense!
The King of Zhennan was almost frightened. If brother Yu accidentally fell off his horse, could this traitor afford to pay for his precious golden grandson? !
King Zhennan took a few deep breaths, his anger calmed down a little, and he strode over until he walked up to the colt.
The father and son, who seemed to be enemies in the previous life, stood facing each other, but only a few feet apart. One was lazy and casual, while the other looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"The traitor, Brother Yu is so talented..." King Zhennan said through gritted teeth. Just as he was about to teach the traitor a lesson, he heard a voice shouting happily: "Zuzu!"
As soon as Xiao Yu heard his grandfather calling his name, he responded enthusiastically, stretched out his arms, and said: "Zuzu hugs."
King Zhennan suddenly forgot to talk to Xiao Yi, skillfully picked up his precious golden grandson, and said lovingly: "Our brother Yu is so good!"
Such a considerate Jin Sun has such an inconspicuous father! Thinking about it, King Zhennan couldn't help but glared at Xiao Yi again.
Xiao Yu smiled even more happily after receiving the compliment, and couldn't wait to show off the gift he just got - the white pony.
"White horse, mine!" He pointed to the pony, and then pointed to himself.
The little guy looked at Zhennan Palace with a pair of bright eyes, as if to say, Grandpa, isn't my pony very beautiful?
Let alone a little pony, as long as Xiao Yu likes it, what if he gives all the thousands of Nanliang horses here to his golden grandson? ! King Zhennan nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Yu, have you given the pony a name?"
Little Xiao Yu tilted his head and blinked. His pony was the same color as Han Yu and Mao Xiaobai, so it was called——
"Xiaoyun!" White cloud!
Looking at his grandson’s serious look, King Zhennan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, “Okay, let’s call him Xiaoyun!” Their brother Yu is so smart! Sure enough, he is a descendant of their old Xiao family!
The King of Zhennan had long since lost sight of Xiao Yi. He only saw his precious golden grandson. He happily hugged Xiao Yu and left. He did not forget to order his soldiers to take the white pony away. .
The few soldiers who came with King Zhennan were originally worried that the prince and the prince would have a dispute over the horse division, but they did not expect that the topic would come up at all. The prince's heart was all about his grandson. How can I care about military affairs? !
Recalling that a few months ago, the news about Zhennan Wang learning "Yan Ziling fishing on Qili Beach" had once spread a lot in the army, and several soldiers felt that they had discovered the truth. The prince is going to live in seclusion and entertain his grandchildren!
Under the unclear gazes of everyone, King Zhennan carried Xiao Yu to his central tent, and took out all the small toys specially prepared in the tent to offer treasures.
The grandfather and grandson just hid in the tent and played for more than half an hour. The king of Zhennan was reluctant to send Jin Sun back.
However, Xiao Yu was fond of fun and novelty. After playing with all the drums, bells, and **** in the camp, he felt bored and shouted to his grandfather that he was going to ride a horse. , and King Zhennan dared to let such a young Jin Sun ride a horse, so he randomly found a soldier and ordered him to ride as a horse for Xiao Yu.
Who would have known that Xiao Yu was an independent thinker. He said riding a horse meant riding a horse. Since his grandfather refused, he ran away to find his father...
Seeing Jin Sun abandoning him and falling into the arms of Xiao Yi's rebellious son, King Zhennan suddenly felt empty in his heart and his own tent was empty. He couldn't help but sigh several times, no longer interested in official duties.
Without Jin Sun, this military camp would be really boring!
The King of Zhennan simply left the camp with his long followers and rode all the way back to Luoyue City.
While the horses' hooves were flying, King Zhennan was not idle, thinking in his mind: I have to find something interesting for Jin Sun to please him!
Didn’t that treacherous son Xiao Yi just give him a pony? !
Hmph, he didn’t believe he couldn’t find a better gift than a pony!
The king of Zhennan raised his riding whip, swung it down with a "snap" sound, and galloped all the way without stopping.
By the time he returned to Zhennan Palace, it was just past noon, and the warm winter sun was shining with its golden light, making people feel warm and comfortable all over.
After King Zhennan entered the palace through a corner door, he quickly got off his horse and threw the horse rope to a young boy in Tsing Yi. He originally planned to go to the outer study, but who knew that the boy was standing by and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, half an hour ago, the king's envoys came and are waiting for the prince in the palace!"
An envoy from the royal capital? ! King Zhennan suddenly stopped and looked at the boy in surprise, feeling confused for a moment.
In the past few months, although King Zhennan was "busy" fishing in the palace, he was not deaf and had long heard about the emperor's death and the crown prince's enthronement... After sighing, he also put these things aside. The back of my head.
I didn’t expect that he didn’t miss others, but they were always thinking about him!
Why did the new emperor send envoys to southern Xinjiang? !
This question couldn't help but arise in King Zhennan's mind.
Is it possible that after ascending the throne, the new emperor thought of settling old scores and specially sent people to pursue the independence of southern Xinjiang?
Why did the new emperor have to come to him? ! He doesn’t know anything about southern Xinjiang’s independence!
In the blink of an eye, King Zhennan was already thinking a lot. His face turned blue and white, and his face really didn’t look good.
The young man carefully looked at the expression of King Zhennan and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy is at Beifeng Hall..."
The King of Zhennan responded casually. After hesitating for a moment, he strode towards the Beifeng Hall, feeling so regretful that his intestines turned green. If he had known that an envoy from the royal capital was coming today, he should have stayed in the military camp and come back later...so that Xiao Yi, the rebellious son, could deal with the envoy!
The King of Zhennan deliberately took one step into two steps and went to Beifeng Hall slowly.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a brown brocade robe sitting at the bottom of the Beifeng Hall. He had kind eyebrows and a big belly. He looked like Maitreya Buddha.
The middle-aged man also saw King Zhennan, immediately put down the tea cup and stood up to greet him.
"The right deputy governor of the lower official's office, Wang Jinyou, is here to see the prince!" The middle-aged man bowed enthusiastically, looked at the King of Zhennan with a very enthusiastic look in his eyes, and said with a smile, "We haven't seen you for many years, and the prince has become more wise and powerful."
The King of Zhennan felt goosebumps all over his body, and he felt like he was a piece of fat that was being cared about. However, he pretended to be nonchalant and sat down on the Grand Master's chair at the top.
"Wang Yushi is so polite, please sit down." King Zhennan smiled boldly and motioned for the other party to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Jinyou sat down again, and the maid serving in the hall immediately served hot tea to King Zhennan.
Wang Jinyou also picked up the tea cup, took another sip of tea, and after moistening his throat, he said again: "Your Highness, I have come all the way to southern Xinjiang this time to invite you to go north to the capital... ”
Go north to the royal capital? King Zhennan almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand, and his face darkened. This royal censor wanted to take him north to the capital to be punished!
The King of Zhennan was about to fall out, but he heard Wang Jinyou spit out the last two words: "Assistant to the government."
King Zhennan froze instantly and was a little dumbfounded.
Assistant government? !
He recognized these two words, but why couldn't he seem to understand them when they were put together? !
The new emperor wants him to go to the royal capital to assist in government? !
