Chapter 182: Hurry back
The Founding Mansion, Chang Sheng anxiously walked around the front yard. www.biquge.info He began to prepare yesterday after knowing that Lao Zhu was about to die, but the preparations in private were always not comparable to the things on the official side, so after the arrangement was made, he had been waiting for Lao Zhu or someone else to issue the will in the name of Lao Zhu.
At this moment, Menzi ran in and said, "Su Huaien, the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, is here to deliver the decree!" ”
Chang Sheng immediately ordered: "Quickly take out all the incense cases and others!" "Then go out and greet yourself.
At this time, Su Huaien had already entered the gate, and when he saw Chang Sheng coming out, he said, "Founding Father, the slave has come to deliver the decree." ”
Chang Sheng said: "Father-in-law Su wait a minute, I will prepare the incense case immediately." ”
Su Huaien said: "You don't have to use incense, it's an oracle. ”
Chang Sheng welcomed him into the front yard, and then knelt down to receive the order. Su Huaien said: "Spread the word of the saint, and the founding prince will be promoted and lead the guards, inspect the capital, and if the subjects of the whole city move recklessly, they will be beheaded." He took out another thing and said, "This is the troop transfer talisman of His Majesty's mobilization of the Twelve Guards, and the founding prince has collected it." ”
Chang Sheng knelt on the ground and said, "The minister accepts the order." Then he kowtowed again, and then got up to take the tiger talisman and said, "Thank you Grandpa Su." ”
Su Huaien said: "I am just passing on His Majesty's message. Your Majesty has woken up this morning, and these are all things that Your Majesty himself said. ”
Chang Sheng was sure in his heart, he was afraid that it would be a message from Xi Yao in the name of Lao Zhu, which would not be good, and now he was completely relieved.
Chang Sheng wants to entertain Su Huaien again. Su Huaien said: "The founding prince was gracious, and the slave didn't dare to resign, but the slave still has a will to be delivered, and the time is urgent, so he really can't stay longer." ”
Chang Sheng heard that he knew that Lao Zhu had other orders, so he let him go.
In Jinwu's avant-garde workshop, Xue Ning said to his wife Wang, and his sons Xue Xiran and Xue Xiyang: "Don't go out these days, you must not go out of the workshop, and it is best not to even go out of the house." ”
Wang said: "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”
Xue Ning said: "Don't ask too much, stay at home honestly." It will be fine in a few days. ”
Xue Xiran said: "Dad, let me go out with me, there is always a care to take care of together." "He has also come out as an official in the Upper Twelve Guards, and he vaguely knows the general thing.
Xue Ning thought that he had already come out as an official, and it was not appropriate to hide at home and not go out all the time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you follow me." Then he instructed Wang and Xue Xiyang to stay at home and not go out, and took Xue Xiran away.
The Duke of Wei's Xu family, Xu Zengshou said to Xu Huizu: "Look at them one by one, although His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun is not in the capital, but who else can turn the sky in the capital, and the succession to the throne of His Royal Highness the Imperial Emperor is abolished?" ”
Xu Huizu scolded him dissatisfiedly: "What do you say! Since ancient times, the transfer of the throne is the most dangerous, how to be cautious and cautious, what kind of cool words do you say! ”
Although Xu Zengshou has many different views from Xu Huizu, he still admires his eldest brother very much, so he doesn't dare to refute Xu Huizu's words, but he will not go against his heart to cater to Xu Huizu's words, it would be too hypocritical for his family to engage in this. So he just kept silent.
Xu Huizu glanced at him, sighed, and then called the housekeeper in and ordered: "In the next few days, there is nothing to do in the family, and it is strictly forbidden to leave the house!" Violators will be expelled from the house. ”
Many mansions in the capital have similar conversations, but no one wants to do anything after they discuss it at home or with people close to them, so everyone invariably asks their families to go out less. Then those who didn't know what was going on in the palace also felt that the atmosphere in the capital was not right, and the low-key behavior led to a sharp drop in the turnover of entertainment venues such as the Qinhuai River, which made the people concerned angry.
However, there was no similar discussion in the Cao Guo Mansion, because Li Jinglong went out to train the army, and his son and brother did not take care of it, so the Cao family was the most peaceful.
===========================================================
May 25, Sizhou ancestral mausoleum. Yun Xi also got up early in the morning. However, this time, because the new ancestral tomb was only built roughly, it was a little simpler, and Yun Xi completed the process of worshipping his ancestors before noon.
Yun Xi left the ancestral tomb and had lunch with Yang Feng, Lan Zhen and others.
Lan Zhen said with a smile: "It's finally done, and you can set off tomorrow." ”
Yun Xi continued: "Well, I will go back to see the villagers here in the afternoon, and sleep well at night, and I can go back tomorrow." ”
Yang Feng said: "Your Highness, why don't we go back in the afternoon, I always feel that something is not right." ”
Yun Xi said: "Why don't I want to rush back in the afternoon? But after worshipping the ancestors, I saw the local villagers, and my father did this back then, there was nothing special, how could I violate it? ”
When Yang Feng heard this, he also knew that tradition could not be easily violated, so he lowered his head and continued to eat.
Yun Xi took a bowl of rice and ate it one bite at a time. Then, just as he had finished the first bowl and was about to eat the second bowl, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then there seemed to be a little dispute. But Yun Xi didn't care, he was very hungry, so he was still serving food.
Then there was a "clang", the room was opened, and Yun Xi looked up and saw that it was Li Bo. Yun Xi just wanted to ask, 'Why are you here?' Remembering what he had said before he left Beijing, his face turned pale, and the bowl in his hand fell into the barrel full of rice, and rolled a full circle before stopping.
But how could Yun Xi be in the mood to care about anything else at this time? He asked, "Your Majesty...... but he didn't dare to say the latter words.
But at this time, Li Bo had already spoken: "Your Highness! The princess said, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's going to be gone. ”
Yun Xi suddenly stumbled and seemed to fall, but he still stood still. Yun Xi's tears flowed, but he didn't cry, and he didn't care about the tears that had dripped on his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horse!" I'm going to leave right away and head back to the capital! ”
Although Lan Zhen was also very surprised, she immediately said: "Your Highness will set off with three hundred soldiers, one person and two horses, and I will take the rest of the people to borrow some horses from the local guard, and then go back." Of course, he wanted to follow Yunxi back, so that he could know the situation in Kyungri as soon as possible. But he is the best at leading troops among the people brought out of Beijing by Yunxi, and he can only be 'cut off'.
Yun Xi was most anxious at this time, and immediately went out to prepare for departure. Lan Zhen hurriedly gathered the soldiers. Lan Zhen didn't have time to gather the same hundred households, and after gathering three hundred people from the same thousand households, Yun Xi couldn't wait to set off.
Along the way, it was the fastest time Yun Xi rode a horse in his history, faster than the time he was chased by the Mongols and fled for his life, after all, after escaping into Nettle Ridge, he was not blindly pursuing speed, and this time Yun Xi was running to the capital with all his might.
On the 28th, Yun Xi came to the north bank of the Yangtze River, the local post station was ready, and immediately sent Yun Xi and his guards across the river, Yun Xi got off the boat and went straight to the palace, all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
After entering the palace, he saw that everything was as usual, which meant that Lao Zhu was still alive, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But he immediately became suspicious again: 'It can't be a secret.' It wasn't until he arrived at the Qianqing Palace that the eunuchs and palace maids here had not changed, and he temporarily relaxed his heart.
He stood in the courtyard, not knowing where to go. At this time, Concubine Guo Ning came out and said to Yun Xi: "Your Highness is back?" That's great. ”
Yun Xi grabbed Concubine Guo Ning's hand and asked, "How is Grandpa now?" ”
Concubine Guo Ning struggled and didn't open it, so she stopped struggling, and said, "Your Majesty's condition has been stable for the past few days, and now I am asleep." But the doctors all said that Your Majesty will not be able to hold out for a few days, and God is fortunate that you are back. ”
Yun Xi let go of Concubine Guo Ning's hand and said, "I'll just guard here and wait until Grandpa wakes up." ”
Concubine Guo Ning said: "Your Highness, the Taisun Concubine Da Xue is about to give birth, you should go back to Wenhua Hall to see her." His Majesty also said that he would wait until his great-grandson was born. ”
Yun Xi also remembered that Xi Yao should also be born, so he walked into Lao Zhu's dormitory, and secretly glanced at Lao Zhu who was indeed asleep and did not wake up, so he walked out. He instructed Concubine Guo Ning again: "If grandpa wakes up, let me know immediately!" Then he turned around and went to the Mandarin Palace.
When Yun Xi came out of the Qianqing Palace, it was already late with him, and Yun Xi had no strength in his body, so he asked the eunuch to escort him to the Wenhua Palace.
Xi Yao already knew that Yun Xi was back, and with the help of the waiter, he went to the door of Wenyuan Pavilion. Yun Xi immediately said: "Why did you come out, you should also give birth, and you are not waiting in the house yet." ”
Xi Yao said with a smile: "Your Highness is here, I have the backbone, otherwise I have been in a panic." Seeing His Royal Highness, the concubine was relieved. I know my own child, although the doctor said that today is already the right day, but I don't feel like I'm going to give birth, it's okay. ”
Yun Xi helped her back to the dormitory, and then listened to Xi Yao talk about the things in the capital these days: "...... After His Majesty woke up, he let the founding prince take charge of the twelve guards, and let his father be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and at the same time commanded Fan Shurun to be announced into the palace and is still in the palace,...... The nobles of Jingli almost already knew that His Majesty was sick, and knew that the illness was still very serious, but no one did anything. …… The officials in the capital are almost all known to be above the fifth grade, and no one has made any moves. ……”
Babbling and babbling, Xi Yao talked for an hour before she finished talking about what had happened in Beijing these days. When she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, then put her hand down again and said, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet." Look at me, forget about it. I immediately asked the people in the dining room to set the meal. ”
