Chapter 130: Aftermath
Of course, the situation will not be so unlucky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Two days later, the governor Yamen came to the news again, the queen mother fell ill, the prince heard the news, very worried, from the small Tangshan palace back to the palace, passing through the royal temple, went to worship the Buddha, for the queen mother to pray for the blessing. The queen mother got this filial piety of the prince, and saw her grandson who had been absent for a long time, and she was in a good mood, and even her illness went seven or eight points, and there was no major problem, she only needed to recuperate for a few more days, and she would be safe and sound.
It's as if the Queen Mother's condition is getting better because of the crown prince, and it has nothing to do with the imperial doctor and the young son of the King of Shu, who has been kneeling for several days.
Especially on the way back to the palace, the prince sat in a chariot with veils falling on all sides, and once on a whim, he landed on his feet and walked into the royal temple to worship the Buddha. The people present all saw that the prince had a ruddy face, walked as usual, and his voice was loud, and no one immediately believed the rumors that the prince was seriously ill and would die soon.
However, there are various gossip that the prince has been treated by many miracle doctors and famous doctors in the Xiaotangshan Palace, and how many good prescriptions and medicines he has taken, and he has recuperated very well. I didn't show up for a long time before, just so as not to affect the efficacy of recuperation. Now it seems that the effect is very significant, and the prince does not show up, and there is a reason for not showing up. Anyway, as long as the prince is healthy and the East Palace is stable, everything else is trivial, isn't it?
Not to mention why the Queen Mother's condition is so strange, anyway, the prince is now back to the palace safely. Seeing his current appearance, no one in the court mentioned anything about the succession clan. Even if there are still people who don't give up, before confirming whether the prince's current physical condition is really completely harmless, no one will open their mouths to disturb the scenery without eyes.
As for Zhao Shuo, the prince of Liao, who was still jumping up and down before the prince returned to the palace, it is said that after he changed color for a while, he was ecstatic and cried with joy, and wrote to congratulate the prince on being safe. Of course, he did not forget to continue to participate in the Shu Palace, although now everyone has no competition, but the old grudges are not so easy to disappear, and at this time to stop the revenge, it also seems that he was too selfish before, isn't it? No matter what the prince is, no matter whether the royal family wants to pass the heir, the prince of Liao asked the Shu Wangfu to give him an explanation, which makes it even more obvious that he is not entangled for the position of the emperor's heir. He is just asking for justice for his wronged child as a father.
When Huang Jincheng saw this, he couldn't help but say to Qin Bai: "The prince of Liao is really ...... It's not easy for Guanglu, this kid. ā
Qin Bai also felt that the prince of Liao was very shameless, obviously he exiled his own son to Jiangnan in order to please the Yue family, and it was his father who made Zhao Mo suffer the greatest grievance. Now, for personal gain, he uses his son to attack political opponents. Otherwise, the first thing he should do is to send someone to Jinling to visit his son and find out the truth of the matter, instead of making a big fuss about the so-called "Princess Shu sent someone to plot against Zhao Mo in order to retaliate against him" because of a few rumors from the outside world.
Originally, it was rumored that Li Yanchao was plotting against Zhao Mo in order to tie up with Princess Shu, and that Princess Shu and Mrs. Tu sent a companion to do misdeeds in Jinling, the purpose was unknown, but he had contact with Li Yanchao. Zhao Shuo has to confuse these two things together, the purpose is already Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it, what kind of loving father is he pretending to be now?
Huang Jincheng then read the letter, and when he looked at it, he laughed: "The selfishness of the prince of Liao is heavier, but it is not all without benefits. If he hadn't bitten him to death like this, he would have to pull the Shu Wangfu into the water, but he was afraid that the Shu Wangfu would make trouble again, and he would not be so honest as he is now. ā
Qin Bai looked at him: "What happened to the Shu Palace? The prince returned to Beijing safely, and those Shu people who were unclear on the ground in Tianjin Mansion were caught?"
Huang Jincheng said: "The governor has not received any news in this regard, and this can only be confirmed by waiting for the letter from my old department." However, the Shu Wangfu is indeed a lot more honest. Since the youngest son of the King of Shu was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother and detained, they couldn't do anything they wanted, so they could only stay honest and wait for the fate like the Tu family. ā
Qin Bai pondered for a moment: "Did you mention in the letter how long the Queen Mother planned to detain the young son of the King of Shu? On the bright side, if Guanglu is really used as a reason to punish Princess Shu and the Tu family, I am afraid that the weight will not be enough. The emperor doesn't know what to do?"
The emperor didn't have to worry about how to act, the Shu Wangfu and the Tu family made a choice one after another.
The next day, news came that Princess Shu's condition had finally progressed to the point where it could not be saved, and the imperial doctor sent by the palace had confirmed the news of her death. The Queen Mother sighed: "How can this be? The people of the Shu Wangfu were too negligent! Since they were so sick, they should have reported it a long time ago. I cried, and said, "The mourning family's condition is no longer serious, and the hard Yan'er has knelt down and prayed for me." But now that his mother is gone, how can I let him stay in the palace any longer? Let him go back and take care of his mother's funeral. ā
The youngest son of the King of Shu was released back to the Shu Palace, and at the same time there was also the internal prison that issued the decree. The queen mother rewarded the silver, but in the name of poor service, she disposed of the people waiting around the princess of Shu, and all the close attendants were hanged under the nose of the inner eunuch, and in the name of the martyr of the loyal maid, they were buried with the princess of Shu. The subordinate officials of the royal palace who remained in the capital were either demoted or dismissed, and they were almost cleaned. The Zongren Mansion immediately sent someone to take over the funeral of the princess of Shu, and the officials sent a new subordinate official of the palace to take office the next day to assist the young son of the king of Shu in handling the affairs of the palace.
And because the weather is getting warmer, Princess Shu died of a violent illness, maybe it was an epidemic, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, her future affairs were not able to be done in a big way, but only hastily. The body was quickly burned and buried with ashes, and the young son of the king of Shu set up a mourning hall without a body in the main hall of the palace of the king of Shu for relatives and friends to come to offer incense and pay respects.
The next day, news came that Mrs. Tu had a heart attack due to the loss of her daughter and passed away. The head of the Tu family fell ill with sadness due to the loss of his daughter and wife one after another, and reported his illness to the imperial court. Although the emperor did not immediately approve his request to the minister, this is a long-standing practice, and he always has to ask for three resignations in order to express the emperor's importance to the minister, not to mention that this is still his nominal grandfather? Although the head of the Tu family has not been able to officially pay tribute to the official, he is now recuperating at home, and no one will ask him to come forward to participate in government affairs at this time.
Several sons of Mrs. Tu, that is, the brothers of Princess Shu, as well as their respective children and grandchildren, but all those who have official positions have to worry about filial piety due to the death of their grandmother. Their recital, the emperor immediately approved. The Tu family is still in the court, only the side branches of the official position are not obvious, and the whole family is low-key.
The external reason is, of course, because all the elders in the family are sick, and the reason that circulates in private is: Mrs. Tu died of fear and sadness because she did something wrong and lost her daughter, how could the Tu family be embarrassed to bury her beautifully?
After Qin Bai and Huang Jincheng got the news, they finally determined that this turmoil was over. The personnel of the Shu King's Mansion were greatly damaged, and only Zhao Yan, the young son of the King of Shu, was left in the capital, and it was difficult to support him alone. He has filial piety, and there is no way to talk about marriage, and he may have to return to Shu to keep filial piety when he will be. The Tu family survived with a broken tail, although they were also greatly injured, but they seemed to have kept the hope of a comeback. A year later, it is still unknown whether the descendants of the Tu family will be able to recover smoothly, but the fact that the side branches can be saved proves that the Tu family has not been defeated.
Anyway, they still have the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is as stable as Mount Tai in the palace, and the emperor and the crown prince respect her as usual. With her, the Tu family will not be completely defeated. The head of the Tu family made a quick decision, but he still succeeded in saving the future of the family.
At the same time, the crown prince returned safely and recovered his health, which also meant that the matter of the succession of the imperial heir would not be mentioned again. The chaos between the DPRK and China can finally return to Qingming, and the sons of the clan can live in peace from now on. And the Wang family, who has been jumping up and down and constantly stirring up trouble, naturally broke off his delusions and kept his duty as a minister.
Huang Jincheng sighed: "Now that the situation is good, we can rest assured that we can breathe a sigh of relief." At present, just wait for the East Palace to add a new emperor and grandson, and there is nothing to worry about. ā
One sentence made Qin Bai's brows furrow again.
The turmoil in Beijing subsided, and Qin Jian's letter with Qin Ping was delivered soon after.
Qin Jian mentioned the experience after crossing the Yellow River, because he met with the guards sent by the emperor, so he lived more peacefully along the way, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore. However, at the same time, the ministers sent by the emperor to pick up the crown prince were also more strict, and the entourage was not allowed to leave the team without authorization, nor did they allow them to come into contact with outsiders, and all the drinking water was brought from the capital, rather than purchased locally. He can only follow the prince all the time, eat and sleep with the prince, and he can't send a letter to Jinling every other day like before, so there is no news for many days, I don't know if the third uncle and cousin are worried, he gives them a gift.
The road was stable, and the speed of entering Beijing was also quite fast, so I went directly to the Xiaotangshan Palace and brought him over. However, on the way out of Tianjin, he once heard the guards say that it seemed that someone was wandering around and that his identity was unknown, but in the end nothing happened, probably just ordinary passers-by.
After arriving at the Xiaotangshan Palace, the prince rested there for two days. And Qin Jian himself also enjoyed the benefits of the royal hot springs a little, and greatly admired them, and suggested that Qin Bai could give it a try when he had a chance in the future, which was very comfortable.
The crown prince returned to Beijing first, while Qin Jian was one step behind, accompanied by two guards, and returned home directly from the Xiaotangshan Palace. The family was shocked when they saw him suddenly appear, and they thought something had happened to him. But Qin Jian didn't know if he could tell his family the truth at this time, so he could only keep his mouth shut and only say that he was willful and returned to Beijing without authorization.
Qin Jian made reparations to Qin Bai in the letter, he was worried that he might cause trouble to the third uncle. I don't know when someone from the palace will come and allow him to tell his family the truth?
Qin Bai looked funny, and went to read the letter from his eldest son again. But just after looking at the beginning, his brow furrowed.
In the letter, Qin Ping told him that the emperor had passed him on, asked about his younger brother Qin An's situation in Datong, and seemed to intend to transfer Qin An to Beijing and promote him.
