Chapter 63: The End of the Old

The next day, September 29th. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the Shang Dynasty began to canonize the crown prince for the smooth transfer of power, the canonization of the prince has been a very important and very serious matter in all dynasties. Especially from the Ming Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the ceremony of canonizing the prince has become more and more solemn and complex.

In the morning of this day, Yun Xi got up and started dressing up. At the beginning of the day, he walked out of the Wenhua Hall in a heavy crown (starting from the Taigong Palace according to etiquette), and more than 100 attendants followed Yunxi to the Chengtian Gate.

However, Yun Xi was thinking about what Lao Zhu wanted to do with Concubine Lu at this time. Yesterday, there was conclusive evidence that it was Concubine Lu who did it, and it was impossible for Lao Zhu to let it go lightly.

At this time, the sound of "dong dong dong" drumming sounded, and Yun Xi came back to his senses and knew that at this time, Lao Zhu was wearing a crown and walked from the Jinshen Hall to the Fengtian Palace. He then retracted his thoughts: after a while, he could roughly guess the ending of Concubine Lu by looking at whether there was Concubine Lu at the ceremony, and it was useless for him to worry. Now let's pay more attention to this important ceremony.

What followed was a complicated process: first, the deacons entered the hall to meet Lao Zhu, and then the undertaker took the canonized "canonized treasure" to convey the canonization intention to the principal and deputy envoys, and then the chief and deputy envoys went through a series of complicated processes, under the leadership of the 'ruler' and the 'case-bearer', and with the accompaniment of music, they came to Chengtianmen to read the canonization edict and handed over the canonized treasure to the officials around Yunxi.

Today's envoy is Li Jinglong (Note 1), and the deputy envoy is Geng Xuan (Geng Bingwen's eldest son), both of whom are handsome and look like talented people, but inside, alas......

Yun Xi followed Li Jinglong and Geng Xuan from the east gate of Fengtian into the Fengtian Palace, walked to the throne of His Majesty, bowed to Lao Zhu, and then the officials who were qualified to participate in the ceremony took their places, watching Yun Xi follow the rhythm of the music and bow and kneel again, like a set of prescribed actions with a difficulty coefficient of 5.0.

Then the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to the noon gate to read the edict, and the hundred officials listened. But this has nothing to do with Yun Xi. He returned to the Wenhua Hall from the Fengtian Temple, sat down in a special seat, and waited for people to come out.

At this time, Yun Xi was very nervous, because it should be the queen who accepted the prince's visit at this time. But now there is no queen, so who comes out is very important, if Concubine Lu comes out, then Yun Xi must canonize her as the queen mother after she ascends the throne, it feels too bad, even if Lao Zhu secretly killed Concubine Lu before Yun Xi succeeded to the throne, she must be posthumously crowned as the queen mother.

Then Yun Xi didn't wait long, and the answer was revealed, it was Concubine Guo Ning (the sister of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding) who came out to accept the visit on behalf of the queen.

Yun Xi was very determined, and got up and bowed according to etiquette: "Boy Yun Xi, I hereby accept the order, and I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the concubine." (The word 'kid' is the original phrase of the History of the Ming Dynasty)

Then the princes of the kings, the kings of the county and the brothers of Yunxi in Beijing walked into the Wenhua Palace. Waiting until Yun Xi sat down, with Yun Xi as the representative, he said: "The younger brother (the original word of "History of the Ming Dynasty") Yun Wen, I met the eldest brother and the emperor's grandson to win the book treasure, and I am very happy, and I would like to lead your brothers to congratulate Your Royal Highness." Then he bowed four times.

Yun Xi paid attention to Yun Hee's expression, thinking that he might be unwilling. But Yun Xi noticed that Yun Xi not only did not have the loss of being the emperor's grandson, but his face was full of shame.

By now, it's noon. Yun Xi ate two mouthfuls of food, rested for a while, and rushed to Wuying Hall to meet the uncles and brothers in Beijing and salute them. The big guy chatted for a while like an ordinary family member, and Yun Xi returned to the Wenhua Hall to rest.

Yun Xi, who has been tired for more than 5 hours, doesn't want to move at all, just wants to spread quietly. But he didn't have long before Lao Zhu asked him to go to the Rouyi Palace.

Yun Xi was shocked when he heard this name: Rouyi Hall is now the residence of Concubine Lu and Yun Wei and others, where do I go! Yun Xi ran to the Rouyi Hall with a question mark on his head.

==============================================================

At noon today, Concubine Lu, who already knew that she was exposed, desperately patted the doors and windows, saying that she wanted to see Lao Zhu.

The eunuchs immediately flew to report to Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu was afraid that it would be unlucky if she committed suicide today, so he came to the Rouyi Hall to see her.

Several able-bodied eunuchs drove Concubine Lu to another room in the Rouyi Palace, where Lao Zhu was waiting for her.

When Concubine Lu saw Lao Zhu's face, she immediately knew that Yun Xi was not sick at today's ceremony. And the Yi people from Yundian Province told her that if they were poisoned, they would definitely fall ill within twelve hours, which shows that Yunxi was not poisoned.

Concubine Lu secretly sighed, 'The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky', and kowtowed again, and said: "Your Majesty, the intention to murder Yun Xi is a matter for the concubine alone, Your Majesty should not implicate Yun Xi, Yun Xi and Yun Xi." ”

Lao Zhu said: "Don't worry, Yun Wei and they are also my grandsons, and I will never implicate them." ”

Concubine Lu also knew that Lao Zhu's personality would not implicate Yun Wei, so her focus was on the following pleas: "Your Majesty, the concubine's father, Lu Ben, is very old, and I ask Your Majesty to give him a decent ending; Lu Liang, the brother of the concubine, has always been loyal and duty-bound, please Your Majesty do not harm his life. ”

Lao Zhu hesitated for a moment. Lao Zhu has always been diligent and old because Lu Ben has always been diligent, so he can consider making him decent; But Concubine Lu's brothers, he planned to kill them all. However, looking at Concubine Lu's expression, Lao Zhu decided to agree to Concubine Lu's request because Yunxi was not substantially harmed.

He said: "I promise you that for the Lu Liang family, only exile. ”

Concubine Lu knew that this was already the biggest concession that Lao Zhu would make, and it was impossible to fight again, so she kowtowed and thanked: "The concubine is the father of the concubine, and the elder brother is Your Majesty Longen." ”

Then she said: "The concubine hopes to see Yun Wei again." Lao Zhu felt reasonable and agreed.

But then, Concubine Lu said again: "Please allow Your Majesty to allow the concubine and Yun Xi to meet again." ”

Lao Zhu looked at her deeply, unable to guess what she wanted to do. But he thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes." Then he went out of the house and asked the eunuch to call Yun Xi and Yun Xi.

Yun Xi came to the Rouyi Hall and met Lao Zhu first. Lao Zhu chatted with him for a few words and said, "The Lu family wants to see you, and now Yun Wei is inside, you wait here for a while, and go see her later." ”

Yun Xi was taken aback! What did Concubine Lu do when she saw herself before she was about to die? Is it to determine on the spot whether you are poisoned or not? Or do you want to vent your resentment to yourself?

However, in the latter case, Yun Xi thought about it for a while, and it was unlikely. Yun Wei and a few of them will have to mix under their own hands in the future, Concubine Lu, as a mother, will definitely think about her children at this time, so she will definitely not insult herself or vent her resentment towards herself. Most of them pleaded with themselves for Yun Wei, begging themselves not to be prejudiced against them in the future.

After a while, Yun Wei came out of the house, his face full of tears. Seeing Yun Xi, he bowed heavily, turned around and went back to his current dormitory.

Yun Xi tidied up his clothes and walked into the house.

Concubine Lu was also full of tears at this time. She sat in a chair and looked at Yoon-hee with an indescribable expression, which, coupled with the tears on her face, made Yoon-hee feel very strange.

Yun Xi sat on a chair more than two feet away from Concubine Lu, and turned his head sideways to not look at Concubine Lu.

Concubine Lu laughed and said, "You are still the same as when you were a child, you take an attitude of ignoring people you don't like and don't say anything. ”

Yun Xi heard her mention when she was a child, and she couldn't hold back anymore, so she stood up and said loudly: "You, you still have the face to mention when you were a child!" Anyway, you also raised me, didn't you think about this before you were poisoned? ”

Concubine Lu said: "Whatever I say now, you may think it is a quibble, but I still want to say that I once wanted to silently accept the reality that you are about to become the prince of the Ming Dynasty." However, when I saw Yun Wei's lonely expression, I finally made this decision. It's a pity that you are not my biological son, and my adopted son is not as good as my own son. ”

"And you ask yourself, did you think of me as a concubine when you grew up? Have you ever thought that after succeeding to the throne, you will respect me as the queen mother? ”

Yoon-hee sat down. Indeed, he didn't regard the other party as a mother, how could the other party not think about his own son. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it. After a while, he said again: "Aren't you pleading for Yun Wei and them?" ”

Concubine Lu smiled and said, "No need. You won't be harsh on them. You want to do great things, you want to become an emperor like Han Wu, unless Yun Wei gets in the way of your business, you won't do anything to them; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's own brothers, except for Liu Rong, the king of Linjiang (the former prince of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty), everyone else who did not get in the way were able to die well. ”

Regardless of whether Concubine Lu's words are disguised sycophants or indeed her comments on Yun Xi, they are very appropriate. And Yun Xi really didn't think about what to do to Yun Xi and them.

After another while, Concubine Lu said: "Go back, I have nothing to say, you are also very tired today, go back and rest." ”

Yun Xi walked out of the house according to his words, Lao Zhu had already left at this time, and Yun Xi went directly back to Wenhua Palace. But on the way, he kept pondering: What did Concubine Lu say to him? What did she want to say when she called herself over?

=============================================================

Jin Yiwei, the Department of Pacification. (Note 2)

A person wearing a five-grade military attache costume said to a person wearing a three-grade costume with his back on his back: "Returning to the commander, Concubine Lu's people outside the palace have all been captured except for Tan Shanggong and Chen Chen's family, and they are continuing to hunt down Tan Shanggong and Chen Chen's family. ”

"In addition, the description of that group of Yi people provided by Tang Bohe and his wife is too general, and almost all the Yi people in the Li Fan Yuan match their description, and it is impossible to tell that group of people at all."

The commander made Guo Hongtao turn around and said: "Continue to arrest Tan Shanggong and them, and we must not let them go." You send someone to Qilu Noodle Restaurant to ask Tang Bohe and his wife, and if there are any other clues about that gang of Yiren. ”

The man was ordered to retreat.

=============================================================

Qilu noodle restaurant.

Mo sent off the Jinyi guard, patted his chest, sat down and drank water.

Tang Bohe stood at the door, sent the people of Jinyi Wei out of the distance, came back and whispered, "Why don't you tell me about that little girl?" If they say that, they'll be able to find out who they are. ”

Mo said: "I don't know why, I don't want them to arrest that little girl." Maybe I can't bear it. ”

Tang Bohe said: "Forget it, since I have already said so, I can only not change my words in the future." Mohs nodded.

=============================================================

Note 1: I can't find out who the chief and deputy envoys were when Yun Wei was canonized as the emperor's grandson, so I made up two people myself.

Note 2: At this time, Jinyiwei had not yet set up a separate division of the north and south towns.
