Chapter 747: Hand Furnace Message
readx; After the dispersal of the dynasty, it was just now, that is, around seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not yet fully bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhu Youzhen went back to Wenhua Hall to sleep without saying a word, on the one hand, in order to create the illusion of "the emperor is lazy", on the other hand, he stayed up all night, and he was indeed extremely tired.
Of course, due to the big event in his heart, he couldn't sleep soundly, and less than an hour later, Zhu Youzhen was awakened by a nightmare. Next are a few things that are the same every day: to worship the ancestral hall for the apocalypse, to greet Concubine Liu Zhao, and to greet Empress Dowager Zhang.
In this era, the most important thing is the word "ceremony", and the royal family is still the same. No matter what the emperor does, from the court ceremony to the eating, drinking, and Lazar, he has a set of gorgeous and cumbersome procedures. Take "greetings" as an example, Zhu Youzhen must get off the sedan chair ten steps away from the palace gate to show respect; Then the personal eunuch sang loudly: "Long live the imperial concubine and say goodbye!" Then he opened the palace gate, let Zhu Youzhen in, and only bowed in the courtyard, including kneeling posture.
The concubine did not greet her, but only passed the message by the palace maid in the palace, and it was just "the emperor has worked hard, take care of the dragon body" and something like that; Zhu Youzhen thanked him again and bowed, and exited the palace gate upside down, and the eunuch shouted: "Long live the drive!" And the eunuch in charge of the "living note" recorded on the spot: "On a certain day and a certain time in a certain month, I went to a certain palace to ask Concubine An." ā
This set of procedures has to be tossed for at least ten minutes, and a lot of time is wasted in this seemingly grand, but in fact meaningless ceremony. Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen has nothing to do now, otherwise he would really be tormented by this kind of rule.
When you say hello to the concubine, it's time to say hello to the Empress Dowager Zhang. In fact, Zhu Youzhen really wanted to have a long talk with this imperial sister-in-law, but due to the etiquette system, he could only follow the rules like the concubine. Although they have to come to Kunning Palace every day, Zhu Youzhen and Empress Dowager Zhang have not said a word of use.
This is true today. Zhu Youzhen has finished bowing, and seeing that the palace maids of Kunning Palace are packing up their things, it seems that Empress Dowager Zhang knows that the courtiers want to "move the palace" as soon as possible, and has begun to prepare herself.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart, secretly thinking that Empress Zhang was only in her early twenties, and she was in her youth. But with the death of the apocalypse, she can only live alone in the lonely deep palace. Even if this era is more feudal, the widow whose husband has died can still remarry; And although the Queen Mother has a noble status and looks very glamorous, she doesn't even have this most basic right, and she can only sleep alone every night, and when she thinks about it, she can be regarded as the most pitiful woman in the world.
Thinking of Empress Zhang's repeated great kindness to him, Zhu Youzhen felt that he should do something for her, at least he couldn't hurriedly drive Empress Zhang away from Kunning Palace, where he had lived for six or seven years, when the body of the Apocalypse was still cold. So he almost subconsciously said to the palace maids: "What are you cleaning up, the queen mother doesn't need to move the palace!" ā
Wang Chengen, who accompanied Zhu Youzhen in, was startled when he heard this, and said cautiously: "Long live Lord, this... It's going to be on the living note, isn't it..."
"What to remember, pass this one!" Zhu Youzhen said angrily, "Do you want to remember the big thing about sesame?" I farted a few times this morning, do you want to make a note of that too?! ā
When the palace maids and eunuchs were at a loss, Empress Dowager Zhang greeted her from the palace, and Zhu Youzhen quickly knelt down again.
"Don't blame the palace maids, the mourning family asked them to do it." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled indifferently, but the loss and confusion in her smile could not be concealed, "Kunning Palace is the queen's bedroom, the new monarch ascends the throne, and the mourning family will naturally move the palace." ā
The word "mourning family" could not be clearer than the identity of the queen mother. Zhu Youzhen wanted to comfort the Queen Mother a few words, but a thousand words came to his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't even have the courage to look at her.
However, the Queen Mother said with concern: "This winter is extremely cold, and the fifth watch of the Holy Lord is going to the court, so you must not bear the cold." There is a hand-warming stove here in the mourning house, which is very warm, so take it and use it. ā
As he spoke, he took out a delicately carved metal box from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Youzhen. This hand warmer Zhu Youzhen has also seen, the outside is metal, the inside is red-hot charcoal, and it can be held in the hand in winter to keep warm. Because of its exquisite workmanship, it has a lot of appreciation value, and it has become a valuable antique in modern times.
The Queen Mother gave the furnace, and Zhu Youzhen was very moved and took it respectfully. But as soon as I started it, it was cold to the tentacles, and it was obvious that there was no hot charcoal in it. Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned, and the Queen Mother immediately stared at him, and then said: "The mourning family still wants to worship the Buddha, please take care of yourself." With that, he went back to the palace.
Zhu Youzhen came to his senses: This must be the secret letter of the Queen Mother, in order to hide people's eyes, she put it in the hand warmer, so that she can hold it in the palm of her hand, and no one can take it away!
Thinking of this section, Zhu Youzhen became excited. He hurriedly drove back to the Wenhua Hall with the cold hand warmer, only to say that he was not happy, and even stopped playing the favorite trick of teasing pigeons, and went straight into the dormitory, and ordered the red lady to close the door of the palace tightly, and then carefully opened the lid of the furnace.
Sure enough, it was a secret letter inside!
Unfolding the letter paper, Empress Zhang's handwriting immediately caught her eye: "The saint is cautious in the palace, the eunuch is not suspicious, and the mourning family is very comforting." However, the four guards in the palace and the soldiers and horses of the five cities are in charge of the arrest of the guards, and if they become elbows and armpits, the disaster is unpredictable. Although Zhou Kui served as the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, his strength was still weak.
"The British Duke Zhang Weixian, after the ancestor Zhang Fu, was loyal and awe-inspiring, and his prestige was known, and Qiu Qisheng was his son-in-law under the command of Wu Xiang Zuowei, and Zhang Zhiji was his son under the command of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, and the eunuchs did not dare to resent. And Chengzu has an iron plate secret edict, and the Duke of England, the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Qianguo each hold a corner; When the emperor was trapped and could not pass on the edict, the four kingdoms put the iron plate together, and there was an oracle of the ancestors, so that the world's soldiers and horses could be mobilized, such as the emperor in person. If the Holy One has the help of this person, there is hope for the elimination of rebellion. The queen's canonization ceremony is usually presided over by the British public, and the Holy One can take the opportunity to try it.
"Also, the courtiers must have a proposal to let the mourning family move the palace, and the saint can use this to let the Hakka family also move the palace. When the Hakka family left the palace, the eunuchs were suspicious and chaotic. If the Hakka family refuses to move the palace, the mourning family should leave the palace first and become a nun and force them to comply. Burn it after reading! ā
Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed and surprised! He had been worried about one thing before, that is, although he secretly ordered the Qin soldiers to Qin Wang, even if he didn't consider the three major battalions stationed outside the city, it would not be so easy for the Jingshi to come in. In addition to the extremely strong inner and outer city walls, there are still two defenses of the Imperial City and the Forbidden City, in case the Qin soldiers fight outside, Wei Zhongxian does it inside, and before the Qin soldiers break through the city, he has already been poisoned!
And now there is a British public Zhang Weixian, who is not only a neutral, but also a hidden figure who can seize military power at a critical moment, can fight for it, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt enlightened!
Amazingly, in order to bring down Wei Zhongxian, Empress Zhang did not hesitate to lose her hair and become a nun! She can make such a big sacrifice for herself, but what can she give her?
