Chapter 716: Sharing Worries
Sydney hurriedly picked up Yuque and sent it to Minglan, and by the color, Minglan could tell that Yuque had used up the blood she fed it, and it was really "physically exhausted" before fainting.
Only when Yuque is alive and kicking, Minglan can ask what Yuque has experienced in the past few days, and the blood fed before leaving is enough for it to go back and forth twice.
Pricked his fingertips with the embroidery needle in the embroidery basket, Minglan dropped two drops of blood to Yuque, and he could immediately feel its spirit.
Yuque wrote a line of small light words on the rice paper that was very depressed: I can only move within three hundred miles from you.
Pity it, complacent for the king's worries, with the momentum of a thousand troops to destroy General Wang, the speed is extremely fast, but the result is a fall invisible, the cow and the people can go how to go The obstacle bounced back, and fell heavily to the ground.
It got up and kept going, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't cross the chasm.
But the chasm was not absolute, occasionally a few meters, a dozen meters, and the farthest reached three hundred meters, it stopped moving, and was pulled back again.
He racked his brains to figure out that it was probably Minglan walking in circles in the garden, walking back and forth, holding it back.
Yuque was very unhappy and thought, wasn't it "walking the dog"?
And that invisible rope is three hundred miles long!
It is extremely fast, no matter how hard it is, it is not much different from a tofu block in front of him, and it is a great shame to be restrained by a weak girl in Minglan.
How can Yuque be willing, it just wants to break through everywhere, it doesn't want to be restrained, it still wants to kill people.
As a result, the more he collided, the bigger his temper became, and finally he forgot that he was maintained by Minglan's blood, and when he finally reacted, he quickly stopped and rushed back, and in order to save blood on the road, he also climbed into the carriage and hitchhiked for a day and a night.
When he came back, he didn't want Minglan and Chu Li to see its downcast, so he took a breath and wanted to rush into the house, but he was blocked by the window and fell to the ground......
Thinking that it could have a tie with Chu Li, it was heroic and cool, and scolded Fang Xuan, but it was so down-and-out that Yuque wanted to die head-on.
Chongzhou is at least five or six hundred miles away from the palace, and according to Yuque, she can only operate within a radius of three hundred miles, so she has to be two or three hundred miles away from Beijing.
It doesn't matter if she goes normally, but now that she is pregnant and the weather is cold, it is not appropriate to travel far.
General Wang is a member of the Zhao family, killing him just sabotaged the calculations of the Zhao family and the Queen Mother, and now Yuque can't kill him, so he has to tell Chu Li as soon as possible, so that he and the prince can make a plan as soon as possible.
Minglan got up from the couch, put on his shoes, and went to the study.
It just so happened that she pushed the door on one side, and the guard went out of the study, and then closed the window.
Chu Li sat there, his eyes dark, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Minglan saw it, he said, "What's wrong?"
Chu Li looked at Minglan and said, "Beiliang sent someone to send a post into the palace, saying that it was the queen mother's birthday, and Beiliang would send envoys into the palace to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday." ”
There is less than a month to go, and it is the Queen Mother's birthday.
If you intend to hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, you will start preparing in the palace two months early, the eldest princess and her children have passed away one after another, and Yong Guogong was killed in front of the Queen Mother, how can the Queen Mother have the heart to celebrate her life?
Moreover, the treasury is empty, and to hold a birthday banquet, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver must be allocated from the treasury, and the ministers compare with each other, and they must break the bank, and although the queen mother's party is not small, there is no need to curry favor with the queen mother too much, and almost no ministers have mentioned this matter.
It's good now, don't mention it in Da Zhou, and mention it in Beiliang.
The royal family loves face, and even Bei Liang came to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, can the court not hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother?
It's just that Bei Liang is so full that he wants to come to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday?
When the two countries intersect, any unusual move must be carefully considered, and it may be the curse of war.
Originally, Chu Li was going to ask Minglan, but Minglan came over first.
However, Minglan shook his head and said, "This life is very different from the previous life, the queen mother did not hold a birthday banquet in the previous life, she has always been very low-key, but next year, the emperor will celebrate his birthday, and Princess Beiliang will personally come to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." ”
This time, whether Princess Beiliang will come or not, Minglan does not dare to guarantee.
Even, she had a hunch that Bei Liang's trip was aimed at her.
Hopefully, she's thinking too much.
Suppressing the uneasiness that swelled up in his heart, Minglan looked at Chu Li and said, "Yuque is back, it can only move around me within three hundred miles, it can't reach Chongzhou, and it can't kill General Wang." ”
This point was also unexpected by Chu Li.
Yuque will actually be restricted in the range of activities, and the emperor also pointed to Yuque to kill him on the battlefield before, so Minglan has to go to the battlefield.
Chu Li nodded and said, "I'll go talk to my father, and I'll have to find another way to solve this problem." ”
It was a matter of war, Chu Li did not delay, so he went directly to the prince.
The prince is also confused about Bei Liang coming to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, if Bei Liang wants to fight with the Great Zhou, he should pick the natural and man-made disasters of the Great Zhou, and take advantage of the chaos to enter, and the Great Zhou has been smooth in the past two years.
As soon as Chu Li informed the prince of the matter of Yuque, the emperor sent someone to pass on the prince to the palace to discuss matters.
Obviously, what is being discussed is the matter of Bei Liang's birthday celebration, and in addition to the prince, there are several ministers in the imperial study, and there are many discussions and different opinions.
Some ministers feel that the Queen Mother has had a lot of bad luck this year, and she is not in the mood to hold a birthday banquet, so it is better to go back to Beiliang directly, let them come again next year, and save a trip.
Some ministers feel that the birthday banquet is necessary, and the more unfortunate it is, the more lively it must be, and the bad luck will be washed away.
Bei Liang must have someone in Kyoto, what happened around the Queen Mother, Bei Liang should know a little bit, specially picked this time to send a post, said to come to the Queen Mother's birthday, on the grounds that the Queen Mother was unwell, rejected Bei Liang, Bei Liang will definitely find other reasons, after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, it will be the queen's birthday in less than two months.
People are determined to come, and they can't stop them at all.
What the ministers on both sides said was reasonable, and the emperor looked at the prince and asked, "Is this birthday banquet going to be held or not?"
Before the prince could speak, a small gong came in from outside, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother woke up and knew that Bei Liang was coming to congratulate her on her birthday, she said that the birthday banquet should not only be held, but also the scenery should be decent, don't let Bei Liang see the joke." ”
The prince hooked his lips and said, "The queen mother has already made a choice for the emperor." ”
The emperor's eyes were cold, he thought that the Duke of Yongguo was dead, and the Queen Mother could settle down a little, but it seemed that he thought about the Queen Mother's ambition too simply.
"Then do it," the emperor said coldly.
Several ministers looked at each other, the emperor didn't really want to hold a birthday banquet for the queen mother, this birthday banquet was not good, it was too extravagant, the emperor didn't like it, it wasn't grand enough, and it would lose face in front of the Beiliang people, and the hot potato was not easy to take.
In the past, when I held a birthday banquet, it was oil and water work, and I wanted to fight for it, but no one mentioned it at this time.
Taking advantage of the father-in-law's request to see the prince, several ministers hurriedly took the opportunity to fall, so as not to be assigned a task by the emperor.
The prince had just arrived, and before he had said anything to say, he sat there drinking tea, and the prince came in, first to greet the emperor, and then to the prince.
The prince raised his eyebrows, why did he think that the prince's attitude towards him was much more respectful?
The emperor looked at the crown prince, and the prince went straight to the point, "Father, the son heard that there was a bandit trouble in Chongzhou, and the court has not sent anyone to it, and the son wants to go to Chongzhou to suppress the bandits." ”
The emperor's hand holding tea froze, looked at the prince and said, "You want to go to Chongzhou to suppress bandits?"
Looking at the emperor's tight brows, the prince was very hurt in his heart, he was the prince, and the emperor was father and son, in fact, he was also a competitor, and what he was fighting for was the dragon chair under the emperor's buttocks.
Only when the emperor dies can he succeed to the throne and take over the power of life and death from the people of the world.
With that position just one step away, who wouldn't want that day to come sooner?
has a son who dies all the time, even if he occasionally hopes that he dies early, how can the emperor like him, not to mention that his mother is not a favorite concubine, and among so many sons, he is not the most outstanding one.
From childhood to adulthood, the queen mother didn't want him to show himself too much, as long as he didn't make mistakes, occupied the position of the prince, and waited for his father to die.
But as the crown prince, he has no one to use, and all his reliance is on the queen mother and the Zhao family.
It's a pity that the queen mother and the Zhao family are not for him.
In the past, he hated his father the most, he had so many concubines, and gave birth to so many princes to fight with him, but as the crown prince, he didn't reuse him, and even guarded against him, let the three princes grow bigger, and had the ability to compete with him, and he didn't have a bit of father-son affection for him, and even he was not as good as the prince who left the king.
After knowing the selfishness of Empress Zhao and the Zhao family from Princess Jin, the crown prince did not hate the emperor, he didn't even hate the third prince and Concubine Li anymore.
It is indeed his mother who robbed the queen of other people, and he robbed of the crown prince of other people.
But since he robbed it, why did he end up cheapening Zhao Yi?!
Although Zhao Yi was raised in the Zhao family, his mother's love for him was far better than his!
In the past, it was only the queen mother who had high hopes for him, so she was strict, strict with her son, and lenient with her nephew, but what was the result!
As the crown prince, he must follow the rules, not make mistakes, and prevent being framed by Li Guifei and the third prince!
But what about Zhao Yi, he is in the Zhao family, and he is the person he envies the most.
He can grow up happily, with the queen mother and the Zhao family, as well as the queen mother to protect him, to ensure that he is prosperous, he doesn't have to do anything, he can sit on the dragon chair!
He can not fight for the throne, but who can give him back a sunny and indisputable youth?!
Thinking of this, the hatred in the prince's heart was like a tumbling wave, hitting the shore fiercely, and he was in pain all over his body.
The crown prince stood there, but the emperor's brows tightened, and he didn't understand why the prince did this.
General Wang is a confidant of the Zhao family, he went to Chongzhou, which is enough to calm the danger of Chongzhou, the prince has no need to go on this trip, or is the prince so mediocre for so many years, and wants to use Chongzhou to quell the bandits, and buy people's hearts among the people?
After buying people's hearts, can he, the emperor, die?
The emperor's eyes were cold.
The crown prince said, "The son's trip is just to share his father's worries." ”
"Share my worries?" the emperor raised his eyebrows.
The crown prince raised his eyes and met the emperor.
"The sons will get rid of General Wang for their father," the prince's voice was crisp and clear.
The emperor's heart was shocked.
