Chapter 181: What Happened After Death?
This kind of naΓ―ve oath is not bullshit for any politician in the court, even if it is a petty official, most of the people who are really in the power field are shrewd and sophisticated, not to mention an oath in the face of huge interests, and some people can even deny their parents.
But Li Xin is not.
Comparatively speaking, Li Xin is still a person who attaches great importance to righteousness, and if he emphasizes righteousness, he will re-promise, and it is precisely because the Son of Heaven knows this that he will force Li Xin to make this oath.
Li Xin sat opposite the Son of Heaven and glanced at the Son of Heaven deeply, and after he was silent for a while, he smiled: "I swear, will Your Majesty believe it?" β
The Son of Heaven closed his eyes, nodded and said, "I will believe." β
"In the whole world, anyone who swears may not believe it, but only you, Li Changan, swear, I will believe it."
"That's good."
Li Xin nodded and said, "I swear." β
He stood up from his chair, turned to face the hall, held out three fingers, closed his eyes and swore an oath.
"The emperor and queen of heaven are for example, and Li Xin of Yongzhou swears here that he will ...... in this life"
"Forever Jinchen."
Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "If you break your oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" β
After saying this, Li Xin stood up from the ground, looked back at the Son of Heaven, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has made an oath." β
The breath that the Son of Heaven was originally holding immediately relaxed, he was originally sitting on the dragon couch, and felt a little tired, so he slowly lay down, his voice hoarse.
"It's good that you're sincere...... It's a lie, but in any case, I believe it......"
As he spoke, the Son of Heaven waved his hand.
"I ...... If you're tired, go back. β
Li Xin looked at the Son of Heaven deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty take care of the dragon body, the minister has retired." β
The Son of Heaven opened his eyes and gave Li Xin one last look.
"The prince has also lived in your mansion for a while, and when he sees Xiao Jiu, let him go back to the East Palace......
Lee's confidence was a little gloomy.
Let the prince return to the palace, which means that the Son of Heaven's body may have problems at any time, and the prince must be in the palace in case of accidents.
Li Xin bowed his head and said, "The minister understands. β
After speaking, Li Xin gave his hand to leave, and Xiao Zheng took the place of the Son of Heaven and sent Li Xin out of Weiyang Palace.
After sending Li Xin out of Weiyang Palace, Xiao Zheng quickly returned to Weiyang Palace, still serving by the side of the Son of Heaven, at this time the Son of Heaven's face was not only pale, but even began to turn a little blue, Eunuch Xiao's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to take medicine?" β
The Son of Heaven shook his head with some difficulty.
"No more medicine."
He took a few deep breaths, barely cheered up, and slowly spoke to Xiao Zheng: "Chuan Zhen...... Will. β
"From today onwards, the eight gates of the inner city of the capital and the seven gates of the outer city have all been replaced, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division will take over the outer city gate, and the internal guards will take over the inner city gate, and within three days, the change of defense ......will be completed."
"Tune ...... Qianniuwei and Neiwei are on duty in turn in Miyagi. β
The Son of Heaven took a few deep breaths before he could barely continue: "King Qi...... and King Zhao's side is dead, without my will, no one from the two of them is allowed to leave the mansion, if there is any change...... Plum Blossom Guard can ...... Chop first, play later! β
Plum Blossom Wei is the ninth eunuch of the eight eunuchs of the inner court, and it is also the sharpest dagger in the hands of the Son of Heaven, although the plum blossom guard is subordinate to the inner chamberlain of the eight eunuchs, but the power of the inner chamberlain is only in the inner court, and the plum blossom guard is actually all over the world, and it is even more powerful than the Tianmu eunuch in terms of news.
Of course, whether it is Tianmu Jian or Meihuawei, they are only part of the dark forces of the Son of Heaven.
The Ji family has been founding for more than 100 years, and it has been 40 years since they ruled the world, and the last few generations of emperors can be regarded as effective monarchs.
Xiao Zheng nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Slave and maid, let's do it." β
"Go again...... Inform Hou Jingde and let him enter the palace for a ......"
The Son of Heaven coughed a few more times, and his voice was hoarse.
"Tell the Zaifu of Shangshutai to enter Weiyang Palace tomorrow to see me."
Xiao Zheng kept these things in his heart and bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty, these things have been recorded ...... slave maids."
The Son of Heaven nodded weakly, he only felt tired all over his body, his eyes were very heavy, after telling Xiao Zheng to do something, he slowly closed his eyes, and soon he didn't wake up.
Xiao Zheng can't even tell whether His Majesty is asleep or has fainted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Li Xin came out of the palace, he did not go home immediately, but waited at the gate of Kunde Palace for an hour or two, and finally waited for the eldest princess to come out of Kunde Palace.
When the old lady saw her son-in-law, she inevitably had to rub it off for a while, and when the husband and wife really came out of the palace, it was already evening.
They also brought out a large bag of snacks from the old lady from the Kunde Palace.
The husband and wife sat in the black carriage of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Chen Sixteen sat in front of the car, and the carriage slowly walked towards the Jing'an Hou Mansion in Yongle Fang.
In the carriage, the eldest princess leaned on Li Xin's arms, both eyes were a little red and swollen.
Li Xin reached out and patted her shoulder, and sighed, "Don't be too sad." β
The eldest princess shook her head, still crying in her voice.
"Chang'an, the imperial brother is ......"
After saying three words, the eldest princess couldn't speak anymore, and cried in her husband's arms.
Li Xin sighed and hugged her in his arms.
"Don't cry, isn't Your Majesty still okay now?"
The eldest princess cried for a while, and finally finished the last sentence.
She looked up at Li Xin and choked up, "Brother Huang...... He is not a wicked man..."
Li Xin smiled dumbly and said: "No one said that he was a wicked person, if he was a wicked person, I would not have entered the Wei Palace." β
To be honest, His Royal Highness King Wei's temperament is definitely not a bad person, and he can even be regarded as a good person who is a little cowardly, but life in the world is often the butt that decides the head, and when His Royal Highness King Wei sat on that chair ten years ago, he was destined to change slowly.
After the eldest princess cried for a while, Li Xin remembered something and asked her, "Your Majesty's business...... Did you tell the Queen Mother? β
"How dare I say that?"
The eldest princess wiped her tears and said softly: "I can't accept this thing, the queen mother is so old, if she knows, where can she bear it?" β
The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is about the worst thing in life, if the Son of Heaven dies, the biggest blow must be the current Queen Mother.
However, although the Son of Heaven looked terminally ill, Li Xin always had some doubts about this matter, and he would remain a little vigilant when it didn't really come to that day.
The husband and wife were talking, and the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Chen Shiliu stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Master Hou, madam, the Hou Mansion has arrived." β
Li Xin got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to take the eldest princess down.
Looking at the Jing'an Hou Mansion in front of her, where she had lived for many years, the eldest princess's mood was a little better, she took a deep breath, and said softly: "I haven't been back for more than half a year, I don't know what happened to my family......
Li Xin took her little hand and smiled slightly.
"Your nephew is still living in our house, clamoring to see you every day, he is estimated to be going back to the palace tomorrow, while you aunt and nephew are now, let's see each other quickly."
