Chapter 18 The mountain rain is coming
The day before the Midyear Festival, the royal chariot traveled, and they all walked out of the palace gate, and the palace attendants were still sweating profusely counting pheasant fans, golden tents and other things, and they were very busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hongu leaned back on the cushion boredly, looking through the window of the car at the hurried waiters. Although the main palace was left in Chang'an to supervise the country, it still had to be sent outside the city.
Long trains moved slowly in the morning light.
On this trip, not only the mother concubine, but also Xu Guifei, Concubine Wei, Helan Shuyuan, Mrs. Chen, Zhao Meiren, Ruan Jieyu, Liu Zhaorong, and Sima Chongrong -- the entire harem, all of whom belong to the nine concubines or above, all followed the imperial car to the Lishan Palace to prepare for tomorrow's Jingwei sacrifice. The others are down, Zhao Wan'er has been claustrophobic in Feixia Palace for a long time, and now she is justifiably out of the palace, and there is a faint trend of recovery.
In just a few days, the father's mind turned so quickly, and the sacrifice was so loud that people were caught off guard.
The power of the emperor, I see.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please see you. "The man said outside the curtain.
"Ask him to come here. Hongu straightened up and straightened his front.
The curtain slowly rose, and the curtain opened, revealing a smiling face full of wrinkles.
"His Royal Highness the Prince. He saluted respectfully.
"No courtesy. What is the matter with Lord Taichang looking for this palace?"
"Don't dare. Weichen asked to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of the Midyear Festival. The wrinkles on Taichang's face were all squeezed together, and he said in distress, "It's really not good to disturb Your Highness, but this Zhongyuan sacrifice ceremony, first, is unprecedented, second, it is in a hurry, and third, it is ......."
The third is to offend Confucianism and provoke the dispute between the three schools of witchcraft, Taoism and Confucianism. Fourth, the personnel are complex, and the order of sacrifice is not easy to arrange.
Just Zhao Wan'er, is the sacrifice ranked before Liu Zhaorong according to position, or after Sima Chongrong according to the rise and fall of the family?
Hongu smiled, and scolded Taichang ten thousand times in his heart. It's not easy to get out of trouble, so I specially looked for this palace in full view, and if there was a bad pool in the future, I could push him to the ground.
"Lord Taichang," Hongu pressed his hand down, "The preparation time for this festival is too short, and the precedent for the festival is difficult to find, so it is difficult for you. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful and willing to be considerate of the old minister," Taichang said with a bitter face, "In the past three or two days, the princes have come to the ceremonial supervisor to make trouble many times, saying that the old minister connived at witches and used ghosts and gods to interfere in politics. ”
"The students are also thinking about national affairs. "This palace is not fooled by him, but he doesn't mention the prince Taifu, "Lord Taichang should not be like the blue-headed scholars." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really difficult for the old minister to do," Tai Chang changed his words, "The Midyear Festival is dominated by female sacrifices, but the imperial concubine Niangniang refuses to serve as the main priest. In addition, His Majesty actually wants to preside over the sacrifice himself...... This ......"
The main palace supports the forehead.
Taichang, this old bastard, won't be over if you don't drag the palace into the water.
"The mother concubine is in poor health, but she didn't mean to embarrass too often. "Hongu Road.
"The mother's body is not safe, and the old minister does not dare to complain. ”
He also said that he didn't dare to complain, he didn't complain about you, a "minister", and stopped the car in the palace to let the entire harem see the joke!
Bengong's face was indifferent, "It's too often a big man." No one can change the decision of the father. This truth must be understood by Lord Taichang. ”
Too often squinting and smiling.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't think the old minister is too talkative. Your Majesty's move, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also understands the deep meaning. The accident sixteen years ago, the hurdle in His Majesty's heart, has not yet passed. ”
Sixteen years ago, Hongu was just born, what does that time have to do with Hongu?
The face of this palace twitches, is this too often old and confused?
"Lord Taichang," Bengong said in a voice, "The matter of the father's presiding sacrifice naturally has the consideration of the father. It's just that this palace doesn't know, how does Lord Taichang know about the secret things in his father's heart?" "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, he will deceive this old fox first."
"Your Royal Highness Mo and the old ministers are fighting, now the ceremonial supervisor is not as good as before, and now Confucianism and Taoism are prosperous, and Wu Dao is slight, so Shu Jing and Chu are all declining, and they really can't do what they did sixteen years ago. ”
Bengu really wanted to tell him, Lord Taichang, what you said "sixteen years ago", Bengong didn't understand, but seeing that he looked determined, he didn't know how to speak. So he had no choice but to say, "Then what does Lord Taichang want this palace to do?"
"The old minister is bold," Taichang Zhengse said, "I hope that His Royal Highness will go to Jingwei with the imperial court." ”
Hongu was silent for a moment. This old fox is confused?
"Do you really think that this matter is up to you and me? Or does Lord Taichang not believe in the ability of this palace to govern the country?"
"Old Minister......
"Besides, the Imperial Rim has already traveled. You're too late to say that. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the mother and phoenix are sick, and this time it is tiring to travel again, His Royal Highness should go to Lishan with Feng Yuan. ”
"Lord Taichang, do you want the palace to cut first and then play, and follow to Lishan first?"
"Exactly. ”
Hongu really doesn't know what to say. Taichang has never had much friendship with this palace, how could he rashly say such a rebellious thing. I always felt that there was something that the palace had never known, and even the mother concubine had never thought to tell the palace.
No, he doesn't seem to know anything about this palace.
Someone will go and ask the concubine in a moment.
Hongu put a smile on his face, "Hongu knows it." Thank you for your mention. ”
Taichang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Then, Weichen doesn't bother. Look at Your Highness, the horse will be successful. ”
What kind of work did Bengong Xin say, Bengong didn't even know what riddle you played, and he still said in his mouth: "Cheng Daren's auspicious words." ”
Wechen retired. Tai Chang saluted very cautiously, took a few steps back, and turned away.
Hongu was confused.
"Mowgli, come here. The waiters next to him all retreated, and Bengong had to beckon himself.
The driver came to ride next to him.
Zou Wuji dismounted and saluted, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?"
"There's something for you to do. Bengong thought for a while, "The mother concubine has been dizzy recently, and it happened that Jiangnan sent a few bergamot yesterday, the smell is fresh, and I haven't had time to give it to the mother concubine, you send it for the palace." ”
"Wow. Zou Wuji bowed, "What else does Your Highness command?"
Zou Wuji is a smart and sensible person, and this palace likes him very much. "Nothing else. Oh, bring a post and explain the use of bergamot to the concubine. You wait a minute, this palace will write to you. ”
"Wow. ”
Zou Wuji took the post of the palace's handwritten book to the East Palace to pick up things first, and the palace continued to follow the imperial chariot forward.
Don't blame Hongu for being cautious. The concubine's car was as far as the eye could see, but she didn't know any of the attendants around her. can only do tricks in the post, and I hope that after the mother receives it, she will quickly return to the palace.
The chariots marched slowly in a solemn silence, and the road was clear, and there was no usual crowd of people. The rest of Chang'an woke up, and the noise of the peddlers and pawns in the east and west cities could be heard in the distance.
A Chang'an city without a mother concubine and without Zhao Gou.
A city of Chang'an without a father.
