Chapter 243: Woe to the Wall
While talking, Liu Shan ran with a letter in his hand, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter!"
There was only one page of the letter, and there was not much content in the letter. Jun Yusuli's face changed greatly after just looking at it. She folded her hands and kneaded the letter paper into a ball and said harshly, "Get up and go back to the palace!!"
If something is urgent, naturally it will no longer follow the path to leave the garden. Shangguan Wanyin knew that there must be something important, so she hurriedly followed the emperor to the Huaqi.
After driving out of the door along the special road, Zhi Lanxuan was gradually left behind. The lake and mountains in the night are faint and strange, and the beautiful scenery in the daytime is only blurred.
Shangguan Wanyin remembered the previous scene and sighed in her heart. The good times were always too short. However, she never thought that she would come here only once in her life. After that, Zhilanxuan became a forbidden place in Junyu's heart, and no one was allowed to enter or leave this place with him.
In Fengyi Palace, the lanterns are bright.
"Empress--" Empress Zhang's wet nurse rushed in and first raised her hand to repel the crowd. Only two close maids were left to help unload the ring on the queen's head. After approaching, she took out a wax pill and whispered, "The house sent someone to rush in and specially told the Empress to read it immediately. Destroy it."
When Queen Zhang heard the words, she knew that something had happened. She stretched out her hand and opened the wax paper and looked at it quickly, but was stunned for a moment. Then she slowly rolled up the wax paper and burned it in the lamp. She sighed softly and sighed to herself, "So it is. No wonder the emperor is not even in the mood to play outside. He is in a hurry to go back to the palace, but it is still because of her."
With that, he waved the two maids back and sat on the couch, looking fixedly at the flashing lamp tree, but seemed to be a little absent-minded.
The wet nurse asked hesitantly, "Mother, is there anything you need to prepare?"
"No, this is the point. It only depends on what God's will is. You don't have to be particularly prepared."
Queen Zhang shook her head slowly, and a sneer gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth. She said, "This matter can't be concealed tomorrow. It's okay to talk to you."
Then he breathed a gentle sigh of relief and said softly, "King Chen Liu is dead. This time, Shangguan Yuanji and his son went to the camp, and there was a lot of friction between the two conveniences. The death of Shangguan Chongde is rumored to be a trap set by King Chen Liu. In a word, I'm afraid Shangguan Yuanji will be difficult to be comprehensive at this time.
The wet nurse was also shocked when she heard the words. It must be known that there are a total of five vassal kings among the children of the royal family.
Three young vassal kings, including Dingwang, are the sons of the emperor, that is, the brothers and sisters of the emperor. Although these princes were young and crowned kings, because the emperor was still alive and most of them had left Beijing when they were minors, and now they dare not have any disrespect for Junyu.
The most troublesome thing for the emperor is Chen Liuwang Junxiayuan, who is regarded as the emperor's uncle, that is, the emperor's compatriots. Just because before the emperor ascended the throne, there were many struggles in the royal family. In the end, only several brothers were left with him and Jun Xiayuan. This person has always been strange and arrogant. During the New Year, he rarely comes to Beijing to pay a visit.
In his fiefdom, most of the state government officials are puppets, and they are obedient to him. In addition, with his many years of military career, he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and he has never paid attention to the will of the imperial court.
But Shangguan Yuanji went to southern Xinjiang, but he had the temperament of a straightforward martial artist. Because the supply of Chen Liuwang's men to the barracks has always been delayed, the two have had many disputes. As for the death of Shangguan Chongde, it is difficult to make a conclusion about who put the trap because there is no evidence.
It's just that when King Chen Liu died this time, the cause of death was strange. He had never heard of his health before, so he let go so sadly. Secondly, he has not been canonized as a son, and his fief is close to the southern Xinjiang barracks, which is originally a place related to the safety of the court. At the same time, his children compete fiercely for the right hand, and there has always been a constant struggle on the ground, and there is no stable day.
The funeral will be sent to Beijing soon. The most difficult question is who will succeed to the throne and how to win the greatest benefit for the court.
What's more, the emperor has to ask for the meaning of the title of king, which is complicated and difficult for others to sort out. In this way, I think the emperor can't be free in recent months.
The nursing mother couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard the words. After thinking about it, she said worriedly, "Mother, although the maidservant is stupid, in this way, this is not an opportunity. As long as we grasp it well, we can count the death of King Chen Liu on Shangguan Yuanji. No matter how timidly beat the prince and Ji concubines in Chen Liu's mansion, there will always be someone to use for us.
Queen Zhang smiled gently and waved her hand and said, "That's not our plan. Since my father and brother can try to send such news to this palace, it shows that they have been prepared. At this point, I have never had to worry about my father and brother falling one step behind. At present, the most important thing is how to let Shangguan Wanyin know these news if his father and brother can do it. What's more, I don't want to be hated by the emperor for this. The emperor is already worried at this time. No matter who is right or wrong, it will only annoy him. If it is not good, I will be brought in. Therefore, you have to look everywhere recently and come back quickly if you have something to do. As long as we are against each other at a critical moment, we will win all.
"Yes, please rest assured that I will discipline the people in our palace." After the wet nurse finished speaking, she bowed and answered.
In Qingfeng Palace, after Shangguan Wanyin and Junyu hurriedly returned from Zhilanxuan, they did not know that the disaster was coming, and they were still happily thinking about the previous bit by bit.
"Mother, I look at you like this, but I'm happy, right? Look, it's still our emperor's way. These people talk to you every day, which is not as useful as the emperor's half-day effort.
"Yes, your face is so beautiful today, just like a flower. No wonder the emperor is more and more interested in you now..."
"Well, it's a lot of talkative nonsense. Hurry down."
Shangguan Wanyin was a little embarrassed to be teased. She waved her hand and ordered the person with the utensils to exit first. She got up and said, "I guess the emperor is still in front of the discussion. Most of them will not come over. Let's take a rest first."
The maid Platycodon waited on her to lie down and fell asleep on the small couch outside. It's just that Shangguan Wanyin didn't know if she was too happy. She didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. She faintly heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall and hurried to meet her.
Jun Yusoul walked in with a tired face, and his mood didn't seem to be too bad. He whispered to the maid, "Have you fallen asleep?" Don't go in and disturb her. I'll go to the side hall to lie down for a while, and wait until dawn when there is something serious to say..."
Platycodon grandiflorum hurriedly got up and nodded with a smile. He was about to follow him to the side hall to clean up, but he heard Shangguan Wanyin ask in it, "Prycodon, is the emperor here?"
Jun Yusun had to stop when he heard the words and waved his hand to make everyone retreat.
"Your Majesty, why did you come back at this time? It's better to rest early in Zichen Hall. Shangguan Wanyin sat in **. Seeing the emperor coming in, she lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
"It's okay. Lie down and don't move."
Jun Yu suddenly came forward and pressed her, gently stroked her stomach, and said with a smile, "I can't come, but I will think that your mother and son can't sleep."
With that, he took off his robe and boots, gently turned to the bed and said in a low voice, "Let's whisper that the child must be asleep at this time. Don't wake him up."
Shangguan Wanyin couldn't help laughing when she heard the words and asked softly, "Isn't the emperor busy rushing to the front? Why do you still have time?"
"Well, I have already arranged it."
Jun Yusulon leaned on the colorful embroidered soft pillow behind her, and her eyes seemed to be particularly far and deep. It seemed to penetrate layers of curtains and heavy palace walls, and she had always seen the outside of the capital.
"In the next few days, I'm afraid I'll be very busy and don't have the energy to worry about many things. You should work harder. It will be fine after this period.
Although Shangguan Wanyin smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor, don't worry, my concubine is not a child anymore. You can't ask the emperor to worry about everything."
Jun Yushou looked sideways at her eyes and stopped talking several times. He was silent for a moment and smiled again, "I forgot to tell you that your father should return to Beijing in a few days. Moreover, the stay will not be too short this time. When the father and daughter get together, it will be a great joke.
Shangguan Wanyin was covering him with a quilt and said strangely, "Are you telling the truth? Is your father really going back to Beijing?
"Well, I have made a decree to send people out of the capital overnight. After calculation, it will arrive in Beijing in about ten days at most.
After saying that, Jun Yusultan put the happy Shangguan Wanyin into his arms. After she chattered and finally fell asleep, he opened his eyes, sighed silently, and prayed secretly: May God be willing, nothing more wrong.
In Yaohua Palace, Zichu was lazy and had a good day of playing cards. Finally, with the arrival of Princess Rongling, he temporarily announced the end of a stage.
Early morning, the maids took the risk to wake her up, picked up a lot of gorgeous clothes, begged her to change them, and then sat in the hall, waiting for Princess Rongling to see her.
Zi Chu yawned and listened to these people's reply half-truthly. The Mothers seized the time and told her in detail the life of Princess Rongling.
Originally, Rongling was not the direct line of the royal family, but a substitute for Yi Buchun temporarily jumped out of the patriarch's house. Originally, his surname was Lin, but now his surname is Yi. The mausoleum in the title is also the name of her hometown Lanling.
is a compliment to the Lin family. According to the name, she is the emperor's god sister and the only adult princess who is still alive with the title of princess.
Later, the son learned that he did not let the direct princess get married. It was not that Yi Buchun cherished his sisters and did not want them to marry far away. In fact, he was so ruthless that he was the only one left to kill the Yi royal family.
He has two daughters, both of whom were born to concubines in the harem. However, one is only three years old, and the other just opens his mouth to call his mother, which can't be done.
