Chapter 284 Royal Folding Bed
A large mansion in the southwest of Liangmen in the capital. Those who are familiar with it know that this is the mansion of the famous king's servant in the capital. Since the king resigned and left the capital, although there are usually people in and out of Jinxiang Mansion or Jinxiu Building, it looks much more deserted than the Meyer Mansion in those years, but it is careful. People found that in the past two days, the door of the house suddenly became lively again; from time to time, there were carriages and horses stopped at the door of the house, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, which could be called a door-to-door court,
On this day, a group of people came to the door of the house. A tall man jumped off the horse. The carriage behind him then stopped, and the curtain was lifted. The woman was still holding a two-year-old child. The man was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He looked strong and had bronze skin and thick eyebrows. With heroic eyes, he wore a narrow-sleeved robe with a round neck. In the round collar of the robe, a semi-circular white neckline was exposed. He was wearing trousers, high-waisted leather boots, a belt around his waist, and a quiver and a knife. The woman behind him was tall, with white skin and beautiful facial features. She wore a round-neck, narrow-sleeved robe, and a waist-length coat. Short jacket, two hands in the cuffs, round-toe shoes,
They stepped up to the foundation of the mansion. There were two bodyguards standing on both sides of the gate. They stood in the front and stretched out their arms to stop them: "This is the Prince Taibao Mansion. What's the matter with you two?"
This man and a woman looked at each other and thought together: The boy next to the king is really good at it. Didn't he resign? Why did he suddenly become the crown prince's bail? The man took the lead in saying, "Then we are here to see the crown prince's bail. Please tell me."
The bodyguard looked at it. These two people were the costumes of the Khitans. Although they knew that the king had contacts with envoys from all over the world, they had never seen them come with their children with their families: "You two from Khitan, right? I don't know if they have an ultimatum or a famous post on them. My Wang Taibao is not in the house now..."
He hasn't finished yet, the woman smiled and said, "Then may I ask if there is a general manager surnamed Lu in the house?"
Lu Shenyan has been happy in the past few days: the prince has returned and the guardian has made great contributions to the crown prince Taibao. Although it is only an honorary title, and there is no actual authority, but there is no question about the large salary and reward that supports such a large mansion and so many people. He still has a happy thing, that is, the rouge tiger gives it to him. After giving birth to a big fat boy, Lu Shenyan was in high spirits when he was happy. Lu Shenyan kept up with the full strings. As soon as he heard that two Khitans came outside the door and called him by name, he immediately jumped up and put down the work in his hand and ran out. Even the guard who guard of the door did not see Lu Shenyan so active, so he had to trot behind him all the way to the door.
"Brother He, Miss Li, I guessed it was you. That's great." Lu Shenyan almost rushed to the side of impeachment, grabbed the arm of impeachment and said happily,
Impeached Libo also smiled and said, "You remember us, but it's getting harder and harder for you to enter this door?"
Lu Shenyan hurriedly said to the bodyguard with a little reproach, "I don't blame you this time. This is Mr. He from our house. He is our brother-in-law of Wang Taibao. You can pay attention to it next time." The bodyguard company claimed that yes. After saying that, he ordered someone to take the impeachment of Libo from the side alley into the side door of the house, and accompanied the impeachment of the couple to the courtyard.
"Huo, this house is big enough." The impeachment of Libo praised while walking: "The prince is really smooth. The more you don't want to be an official, the faster you will be promoted."
Lu Shenyan and He Libo walked side by side. He said in a low voice, "Oh, this is just a false name. Put the prince here. In addition, most of the bodyguards in this house are mobilized by the forbidden army. When the prince sees anyone, he will come to the emperor. He is not as comfortable as when he came and goes to and goes in Meyer's house."
Li Enxi followed them with the child in her arms. Hearing Lu Shenyan say so, she couldn't help frowning slightly: "I said we would stop and ask when we enter the door. It seems that our clothes are in trouble."
Lu Shenyan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The prince is not afraid of these. We are all our own people in this house. Besides, just rely on the prince to deal with people. Can't a few bodyguards deal with it?"
They said that they had come to the front hall. Lu Shenyan ordered his family to arrange the residence of the impeachment couple, and ordered someone to invite Cai Jing and others to come to see him. The impeachment asked, "Where is the prince? Aren't you in the capital?" Lu Shenyan poured tea for them in person and said, "Yes, Zhong Jian changed his name to Zhao Yu and made the crown prince. Our prince has to go to the imperial city every day, saying that he would accompany the prince. I think it's just that the emperor always wants to see him..."
Lu Shenyan is right. Now Yingzong does not dare to let go of the king's side, and he is not willing to let the king's side. Even the king himself sighs that even if he is the supreme of the 95th, the king of the world, he can't sit down without a good body. Song Yingzong can't even sit on himself now. He is lying on the sick bed most of the time. I can't say it. I have to write down everything, but I can't sit down and how to write it. Zhao Yu sighs anxiously every day. Wang Bong really can't stand it anymore,
On the day when Libo came, there was an important thing for the king to enter the palace. In the past few days, several royal carpenters have come to the East Palace, and they are making a bed according to the design of the king. This bed divides the bed board into upper and lower parts. It is a bed flattened, but there is a horizontal version, a bracket, and a horizontal version under the lower part. A few grooves were dug at the bottom horizontal plate, and the two boards on the bed surface of the brackets in different grooves formed different angles,
Looking at this strange thing being created, Zhao Yu circled around it several times: "Is that all right?" He pointed to this thing and asked the king who was standing beside him with his hands behind his back.
The corners of the king's mouth were slightly raised, and he said confidently, "Okay, you can dedicate this folding bed to your father. I'll keep him sitting and lying down."
Han Qi, the prime minister of the emperor's bedroom, Zeng Gongliang, is standing in front of Yingzong's couch, frowning and waiting for the emperor to get up and approve the memorial,
They can't help but frown. The emperor is so sick. Even if he can't go to the court, he still has to personally order the memorial. The two old prime ministers come to the bedroom every day. They have to stand for at least an hour and report the content of the memorial first. Which emperor can listen to the instructions, he stretches out his finger and points to the dragon book case, which means to release At that time, he could get up and write. After reading, he had to wait for the emperor to get up. When the emperor thought it was okay, he would let the eunuch help him up and put him in front of the dragon book case.
Today's memorial has just been read. The emperor has no intention to get up. Prince Zhao Yu came in. He followed the king, and there were also four bodyguards carrying the folding bed made of golden silk nanmu to the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked at the smile in front of Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu saw his father and the two prime ministers, bowed and said, "Father, please move the throne folding dragon bed."
"Fold the throne dragon bed." Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang listened strangely. Looking back at Wang's side, they guessed that it must be the boy's "masterpiece" again.
Four bodyguards put the emperor on the dragon**. Although Yingzong Zhao Shu couldn't speak, he was a little nervous. He said to himself what the boy next to the king was going to do. He would not insue the prince to murder the official now, but Zhao Yu looked at himself with a calm expression and a concerned look. He knew his son like his father. Presumably the child would not be big. For nothing, he just lay down and suddenly felt that the bed was moving. The two bodyguards sat down and pushed the bed board to the right. The emperor hurriedly grabbed the bedside with his hand, but before he could understand that he had been supported by the bed board,
Zhao Yu said happily, "Father, is it comfortable to sit? Do you want to be high or lower?"
Even Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were all surprised: "Zeng Xiang, this royal folding dragon bed is good. If you want to sit down, you can sit down if you want. You don't have to bother tos around."
The two couldn't help looking around the bed. Zeng Gongliang also laughed: "It's good, but only the imperial guard around the emperor has the strength to support this board."
Yingzong sits up like this, which is much more convenient than letting the eunuch help him. His eyes are also bright and a little smile for many days, that is, he is not physically weak now, otherwise he must jump down to see what's going on with the throne folding dragon bed that can lie down and sit on.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, the prince, the prime minister and others were even more happy. Only the king did not smile. He always felt that something was missing. He suddenly flashed: "Prince, you quickly order people to build a low table, which is wider and narrower than this bed. It can be placed in **. The wood is lighter for the emperor to write."
"Yes, yes, yes." Han Qi pandered and said, "I just said, I always feel that there is something less, so it will be much easier for the emperor to make a memorial."
Yingzong nodded, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Zhong Pin turned back to a little eunuch serving in the room and said, "Don't do it quickly."
The little eunuch went out in response and hurriedly ran to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As soon as he went out, he almost bumped into a person. He looked up at his master: "Yang Jian, why are you running in a hurry?" Chen Chengli, the chief eunuch, asked,
"Master, go and have a look. The prince and Wang Taibao have made a divine bed for the emperor. The emperor can lie down and sit. Now the prince orders me to arrange a table quickly, so that the emperor can approve the memorial without moving it." Yang Jian said in one breath,
"Oh, it seems that the prince has done another happy thing for the emperor and the minister. Then go and do it quickly." Chen Chengli said and walked to the emperor's bedroom,
Yang Jian took two steps, stopped and retreated. He pulled Chen Chengli and asked, "Master, you arrange me to the East Palace. I found that the prince is just some strange things."
Chen Chengli stared at him like: "You know how to play. When you can learn how to please the emperor, you will be promising."
Yang Jian made a grimace and turned around and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Chen Chengli scolded, "Little rabbit, I almost knocked over the medicine." He dragged the imperial medicine to the emperor's bedroom in his hand, thinking that when the emperor was energetic after drinking the medicine, he would talk to him and let the monk Qingfu of Baoxiangyuan be a monk.
