Chapter 8: Decay Asks for Nothing
Watching Ding Wei and Xu Ping enter the post house one after the other, Ren Shouzhong only felt that everything was lost.
Why did the Queen Mother die? What about the Great Song Wu Zetian? From the two of them being holy, to the sun and the moon in the sky, didn't they all follow Wu Zetian's road step by step? Wu Zetian ascended the throne at the age of sixty-seven and was the emperor for fifteen years, and the Queen Mother was only sixty-six years old, why didn't she live to be eighty-six years old! My brothers are still waiting to follow the Queen Mother to succeed and soar!
The group of attendants around the Empress Dowager Liu are not stupid, but their brains are broken, and they are thinking that the Empress Dowager Liu will one day ascend to the throne along the trajectory of the former Tang Wu Zetian, and she will ascend to the sky with one step. So they didn't care about the attitude of the ministers of the foreign court, and they didn't even pay attention to the little emperor, and the concubine who gave birth to the emperor had long forgotten something. Except for the Empress Dowager Liu, none of them recognized it.
However, all of a sudden, the Queen Mother let go, leaving behind this group of imperial medicine servants who offended all the inside and outside the court.
Ren Shouzhong himself knows that as soon as the Queen Mother went, she killed the emperor's biological mother halfway, and now I don't know how many people in the capital are gnashing their teeth at them.
The rising sun was white and white, with a miserable white color, and I felt panicked at a glance.
I thought that I could clean up Xu Ping in Daozhou, but inadvertently, I became a lost dog. The relationship between Xu Ping and Li Yonghe, Ren Shouzhong, has also heard of it to some extent, especially last year, when Concubine Chen's death was in an uproar, Lu Yijian blocked the palace gate and resolutely let him go to the main gate and bury him with a ceremony. Such a big thing, everyone who has a little status in the palace has vaguely heard of it, that is, the little emperor has always been an honest child, and the Empress Dowager Liu is strict, otherwise even he will be suspicious.
There is the Queen Mother, and even Li Yong and them are not in their eyes. What's more, it's Xu Ping. But as soon as the Queen Mother went, Ren Shouzhong suddenly found that now Xu Ping's words might kill him.
As an internal servant, he didn't even have a chance to let Yushi speak for himself, and he was killed with a board. Ren Shouzhong only felt that the world was spinning, and the future was bleak.
Xu Ping hadn't figured out what he had to do with the emperor. Li Yonghe was naturally too familiar to be more familiar, but he didn't listen carefully to Ding Wei's words, and he hadn't reacted yet. Now ********, Xu Ping is just thinking about how to deal with the Ding Xianggong in front of him and not let him take him to the ditch.
A character who makes the ministers of the world smell it, Xu Ping is not stupid enough to think that he can play tricks with him, if he is not careful, he will be eaten by this old man even to the bones. Only be careful and let him speak with words. Keep your heart to yourself.
After entering the post house, Yi Cheng led the two to the living room. He had already read the Di Bao, but because of his humble status, yesterday Ren Shouzhong played a majestic role, and as soon as Ding Wei came, he knew that Ren Shouzhong was no longer worried.
Xu Ping and Ding Wei sat down, the postman came over to serve tea, and the two chatted casually.
Ding Wei casually asked Xu Ping about the situation along the way. Xu Ping replied carefully and carefully, not daring to slack off at all. On the way, all the officials ushered in. It's all normal.
Ding Wei listened, drank tea and said: "The Queen Mother collapsed at the end of March, there was a widow and funeral, and Zhang Yun's envoy went to Qinzhou to inspect again, no wonder you haven't gotten the news on Guangxi Road." ”
Xu Ping also understood, along Guangnan West Road. The decree was not issued directly to the state armies, but first to the transit envoys, and then to notify the localities as appropriate. Jinghu South Road here knew earlier, but I don't know why Ma Zhongfang, the governor of Quanzhou, didn't mention it, maybe it was a military minister. The brain is too sparse.
After chatting for a while, Ding Wei seemed to say casually: "Yunxing, now that the emperor is in power, what are your plans?" Asari is the time to employ people, you have a lot to do! ”
Xu Ping said: "I hated the Privy Council before, and the court asked me to wait for the decree in Daozhou. Naturally, we are waiting for the will here, and we are courtiers, but we just do what we will. ”
"The Privy Council? It's time for that! Ding Wei shook his head slightly, "Lingnan to the imperial court, the journey is six thousand miles, back and forth for several months, when I gave you that will, the court didn't know that you even captured the king of Jiaozhi." Now that you have done such a great thing, how can you not get important! ”
"How dare a courtier speculate on the divine will? Left and right are just waiting for orders. ”
The affairs of the imperial court, Ding Wei can see through it better than himself, how dare Xu Ping make a master in front of him, anyway, he is pretending to be stupid, no matter how he asks, he will wait in Daozhou.
Ding Wei's expression remained unchanged, and when he saw that Xu Ping's tone was tight, he turned the topic to Li Yonghe.
"Listening to the rumors of Jingshi, Li Yong and Taiwei were poor when they were young, and it was all because Ling Zunsheng had a bodhisattva heart to save his life, and he has today. I wonder what happened? ”
Xu Ping said: "It's just a trivial matter, at that time, my father was still selling wine in the capital with a burden, and one morning he saw Uncle Li Shi, who was sick on the side of the road, and took him home to seek medical advice. By the way, what did the prime minister say about Concubine Li Chen just now? ”
Seeing that Xu Ping was only reacting now, Ding Wei smiled and said: "Concubine Li Chen is the emperor's biological mother, born with a holy bow, and has great grace in the world, and now she has been crowned the queen mother by the emperor." ”
When Xu Ping heard this, he was stunned. Why is there such a bloody thing in the royal family, the powerful queen took away the children of ordinary palace maids as her own to consolidate her position. There seem to be a lot of such stories in the film and television dramas of his previous life, and it turns out that there is really such a thing in history.
After thinking about this, Xu Ping understood why Ding Wei kept mentioning Li Yonghe. This is the only relative of the late Concubine Li Chen in the world, the emperor's own uncle, and there are so many twists and turns in the middle, once she recognizes her relatives, she will inevitably soar. He has a great relationship with Li Yonghe, no wonder Ding Baba came to find him.
With such a backer and credit in Yongzhou, his future is very bright.
Xu Ping's mood was also a little excited for a moment, but he quickly forcibly suppressed this excitement. Ding Wei came to find himself, he must have taken a fancy to this relationship, but he didn't know what his purpose was.
As soon as he thought about it, Xu Ping never mentioned Li Yonghe again, and asked Ding Wei: "Xianggong is ****, and now he is free, I don't know what to do?" ”
Ding Wei sighed deeply: "I'm in the last years of my life, what else can I think?" Yunxing is an upstart in the court, and I came to the door with a cheeky face, just for one thing. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can set foot on the land of the Central Plains again and see the face of the sky. Back then, the first emperor entrusted me with great responsibility and assisted the current saint, but I was pitiful for being confused for a while, and I failed the first emperor's entrustment. Now every time I think about it, I feel guilty and uneasy. Life is rare in seventy years, and I am over sixty years old now, and I don't have many days left, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see the holy side. Otherwise, what face will I see the emperor underground! ”
Ding Wei was demoted to Yazhou since he was dismissed, and he devoted himself to Buddhism, and he didn't know how to maintain it, and his appearance was the same as when he was in the capital, his hair and beard were as black as ink, and there was no white one.
It's always a bit funny to hear such a person say that his days are numbered. (To be continued.) )
