Moon City Volume Moon City Volume Chapter 22 Qin Xiaotian
Yu Che walked over a little dazed, his mother had passed away for many years, Feng Xiao was weak, and was diagnosed as infertile as early as a few years ago, and although Lin Zhilan gave birth to a son and a daughter, she has not been loved by Yu Zhao in recent years. In fact, since Lan Gonglian's death, Yu Zhao has rarely set foot in the harem, and rests in his diligent palace every day. Only on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, he would visit Lin Zhilan and Feng Xiao's palace respectively, but he only sat down and left secretly. Such a big child, isn't it the illegitimate daughter of his father? That's really shocking news. At this time, Yu Che was a little regretful that he had ordered the vulture to go and inform Yu Yuan and the others.
If only Yu Yuan, Yu Su, Lin Zhilan, Feng Xiao and others are okay, this can only be regarded as a family matter, but there are also these civil and military officials accompanying them, if they see their father's "illegitimate daughter", it will become a state affair, and their father's face will be lost.
Yu Che walked to Yu Zhao's side nervously, Yu Zhao reached out and rubbed his head and said, "I haven't seen him for half a year, but I've grown a lot taller, but this figure is still so round." ”
Yu Che had a ghost in his heart and said, "Father, you are also old." ”
Yu Zhao nodded, he had worked day and night for half a year, commanding the battle. The Tianning Sect's intrigues and intrigues were endless, which made him exhausted. He was not good at governing the court, nor was he good at leading troops to fight. From a young age, he was forced by his father to learn governance, but it was a mess. At that time, his father was still the crown prince, but because the Great Yu Dynasty was the founding monarch of the country, it was a single lineage. Therefore, he was strictly demanded from an early age. When his father ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, he secretly ran out of the Great Yu Dynasty and began to travel in the Northern Spiritual Plain. He traveled all over the world, saw many things, and made many friends, but most of them were nodding friends. And as he grew older, his talent gradually appeared, becoming a great sword master at the age of fifteen, and a sword sect at the age of twenty-one. He met Yue Lun when he was twenty-two years old, and it has been twenty years now. He and Yue Lun hit it off at first sight, and they became brothers. Because Yu Zhao is a few years older than Yue Lun, he became a brother.
The two traveled together, and a year later, Yue Lun left on his own due to a call from home. Yu Zhao had no intention of returning to China, so he walked in the direction of the permafrost ice field. It was this decision that made him meet Yu Che's mother, Lan Gonglian. Lan Gonglian was only twenty years old at the time, and she was also a very talented woman in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, and she acted very kindly, often giving alms to some ordinary people, Yu Zhao was deeply fascinated by her. And Lan Gonglian also secretly promised Yu Zhao, after the two got acquainted, Yu Zhao later found out that Lan Gonglian's family was a member of the Northern Regions Guard, although Lan Gonglian's generation had been defeated, leaving only Lan Gonglian and her brother Lan Gongying. But her brother is the captain of the guard of Cangxin City. At a young age, he is in a high position, and he will definitely become the lord of a city in the future, and even reach a higher position.
Lan Gongying began to object to the matter between the two of them, but in the end, he couldn't resist his sister, so he didn't say anything. Yu Zhao married Lan Gonglian and spent a year as a fairy couple in Cangxin City under Lan Gongying's rule. But there are unforeseen circumstances, Yu Zhao's father Yu Jun died suddenly, and before his death, he ordered Yu Zhao to seal Lan Gonglian as the queen, and Nafeng Lan and Lin Zhilan as concubines. Yu Zhao had to follow, and then succeeded as the monarch of the Great Yu Dynasty. Because of their in-laws, Feng Lan and Lin Yi supported Yu Zhao and stabilized the political situation for him. Hou Yuelun also entered the dynasty as an official, and the official was the general of Zuo, and he was still above Lin Yi.
At the age of twenty-five, Yu Yuan, the eldest son of Lan Gonglian, was born, at the age of twenty-six, Feng Xiaogave birth to the second son Yu Hao, at the age of thirty, Lin Zhilan grew to the daughter Yu Mo, and at the age of thirty-one, Lin Zhilan gave birth to the third son, Yu Su, at the age of thirty-six, Lan Gonglian was pregnant with her second child, and was assassinated by the southern rebel Tianning Sect, died in childbirth, and Yu Che was born. This is also the heaviest blow to Yu Zhao, coupled with the death of Yue Lun in battle this time, it can be said that the people who can really talk to him have all passed away. Therefore, it is old.
"Father, who did you give birth to this younger sister, can I meet that aunt?" Yu Che said suddenly timidly.
The look on Yu Zhao's face was a little bitter, and he stretched out his hand and flicked a shudder on Yu Che's head and said, "This is your uncle-in-law's widow, and your aunt-in-law also died in childbirth the year before last." And your Uncle Yue also went. Leaving only this little guy, I dismissed the servants of the Yue family. Adopted her as a righteous daughter and named her Yu Qin. I'll talk to the hundred officials later, and I'll be raised by your Aunt Feng. ”
Yu Che rubbed his head and said, "I have a younger sister, and I am finally not the youngest." Saying that, he made it to the pink-carved children, strange to say, the little guy who was a little crying just now, after Yu Che's teasing, laughed. Seeing this, Yu Zhao also secretly sighed, these two little guys are destined.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a panic outside the door. I saw Yu Yuan and Yu Su leading the hundred officials and Feng Xiao, and Lin Zhilan all knelt outside the Jade Kite Palace, and said in unison: "The ministers don't know that Your Majesty has returned to the palace, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins." ”
Yu Zhao had already issued an edict before, except for the people who cleaned daily, except for Yu Yuan and Yu Che, no one was allowed to enter the Jade Kite Palace, so everyone was waiting outside the palace gate. Seeing this, Yu Zhao let Yu Che take Yu Che aside to play, and said to the door: "It's okay, I don't like to be lively, and it was a whim to go back to the palace by myself." The rest of the army is still on the way back, Zhang Yutai and Yan Zheng'an, you two will go and prepare to see how to fortify appropriately. ”
Zhang Yutai and Yan Zhengan responded and stepped aside, and then went to deal with government affairs.
"Who made such a welcoming ceremony?" asked Yu Zhao again.
Yu Yuan was about to speak, but Yu Su preemptively said: "It is hosted by Cui Cheng in the Ministry of Rites." "This Cui Cheng is the uncle of a friend of Yu Su, a few days ago, Yu Su ordered Zhao Ming, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, to arrange him into the Ministry of Rites, and today he just took it out to ask for credit.
"Extravagance and waste, now that the war is predetermined, the national strength has faded, and some generals have died, such extravagance has chilled the hearts of all the soldiers. But Nian Cui Cheng is also a first offense, and now he ordered the Ministry of Officials to remove him from the post of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and stay in the Hanlin Academy, and if there is an idle post in the future, he will be called separately. Yu Zhao said indifferently, but he couldn't hear the joy and anger.
Xun Pei just said that he was ordered, and Yu Su's face was stunned, he never imagined that this would be the result. I wanted to fight for it, but I didn't expect to cause trouble for it.
"General Yue Lun died on the battlefield and pursued the king of Yangcheng, and his wife died early, leaving an orphan daughter. I became a righteous daughter. Named Yu Qin, Feng Xiao was responsible for maintenance. Yu Zhao opened his mouth again, and hundreds of officials said one after another, Yue Lun died on the battlefield, and he was Yu Zhao's sworn brother, so it should be so. But Lin Zhilan looked at Feng Xiao, who was a little helpless, and she took all the benefits.
Yu Zhao then said: "Yu Yuan, the king of Qin, and Yu Su, the king of Lu, have a way to govern, and in the future, the two of you will be in charge of the country, and I will practice retreat and practice. As soon as the words fell, they resounded in everyone's ears like thunder, Yu Zhao's move was tantamount to abdication, and Feng Lan was about to say something. Yu Zhao said: "I am already tired, you wait for everyone to retreat." ”
Seeing this, the hundred officials all retreated, and Feng Xiao and Lin Zhilan also returned to their bedrooms. Feng Lan looked at the slightly open palace door, but sighed and left. I hope the ring for the Four Princes will be useful. It also gives this poor prince the strength to protect himself in the whirlpool that is coming in the future.
A small restaurant in Moon City
Miao Qianqian saw that Yu Che was on leave, so he also said to Sun Hui and ran out of the palace. I found a secluded restaurant and began to drink myself. Although he is only seven years old, his father Miao Peng is a very good wine, Miao Qianren has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and the father and son often carry his mother behind his back and secretly drink a few glasses. During this period of time, Feng Xiao paid Miao Qianren monthly according to Yu Che's spare money, so Miao Qianren also had quite assets.
The location of this restaurant is extremely remote, so the number of diners is a little scarce, but the taste is not to be said. After Miao Qianren found out by chance, he was a little lingering. Today, when I have nothing to do, I just run here to fight the tooth sacrifice.
"Boss. Miao Qianren shouted as soon as he entered the door of the restaurant.
The boss who was settling accounts saw Miao Qianren coming, so he hurriedly went out to greet him. It's just because Miao Qianren is a regular customer and generous.
"It's still the same, I'll give me a roast goose, stir-fry two side dishes, and blanch a pot of wine. Miao Qianren said.
The shopkeeper said, "Yes, Master Miao, you can follow me to the private room upstairs for a while, and I will serve you food in a while." ”
Miao Qianren was a little puzzled, he used to be by the window on the second floor, which had become his exclusive location, and the shopkeeper also knew, and he was puzzled at the moment: "Doesn't the shopkeeper want to trick the master?"
"How dare I, it's just an inconvenience. The shopkeeper said hurriedly.
"Oh?" Miao Qianren raised his eyebrows and continued, "I don't care what difficulties you have, I'm going to sit in my old place." As he spoke, he walked towards the second floor, but the shopkeeper didn't stop him, and Miao Qianren walked to the second floor.
I saw that there was a person sitting in the place where Miao Qianren often sits, and I saw that the person was wearing a black dress with a red silk ribbon tied around his waist. The hair was tied up and tied with a red ribbon. He looked elegant, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and sat there drinking by himself, with only two small dishes in front of him.
Miao Qianqian looked around, and saw that there was no one else on the second floor except for himself and that person. Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the unwritten rules of the restaurants in Moon City, ordinary peddlers and pawns generally eat on the first floor, and the lobby on the second floor is mostly a meeting place for literati and scholars, if there is a third floor or higher, it is a place with other services. However, this restaurant has only two floors, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few diners, so this second floor is extremely deserted.
Miao Qianli stepped forward, grabbed the chair across the man's table and said, "Who are you? Didn't the shopkeeper tell you that this is the master's seat!"
The man smiled: "In Xia Qin Xiaotian, the shopkeeper has already explained, but the scenery here is very good." If the little boy is interested, how about a few drinks together?"
