Chapter 3 Two Different Uncles
It was already dark, and when the girl woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed in a small hut covered with a thin brocade quilt, and there was a dull pain in her back. As soon as www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion wanted to turn over, he was gently held down by a hand, and a woman said softly: "Don't move, be careful of the wound." Turning her head, she saw a young woman in her prime sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with concern. Although the young woman was not very beautiful, she exuded a heroic and refreshing air.
"You're awake. This is the Dragon and Phoenix Gang, it is our helper who rescued you, and the helper saw that you had lost too much blood, so he specially ordered your sleeping hole and arranged for you to sleep a little longer, which can also reduce some pain. The young woman smiled and took the initiative to preemptively say, "There are some clumsy men on this mountain, you are here, I finally have a companion, my name is Tang Sai'er, if you have anything to do in the future, just look for me." ”
"Oh, thank you sister, my name is Xu Yanluo." Xu Yanluo gradually came to her senses and hurriedly thanked her.
"Hehe, don't thank me, thank you, thank us for helping the master, he carried you all the way up the mountain. Hee-hee, cautiously, like holding a big baby, I've never seen him so nervous, embarrassed, horizontal, vertical, lest he touch your wounds. Okay, I won't tell you, I'll get you some food. Tang Sai'er quipped, and at the same time, she didn't give Xu Yanluo a chance to blush and respond, so she walked away.
Oh, I was in the mountains, no wonder the weather was so cool in June. However, Xu Yanluo was not in the mood to worry about Tang Sai'er at all. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and she had been completely stunned, and the sky was dark and cold. She must sort it out, she must recognise the world.
His grandfather was Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Zhongshan, his father Xu Huizu, the heir of Wei Guogong, and the prince and prince of the Chinese army.
As the eldest daughter, she has not only been the pearl of her parents, but also the heart and soul of her uncle and aunt.
I don't want to all of a sudden, that all changed.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Yanyu, the five- or six-year-old daughter of her uncle, Xu Zengshou, came to her in a hurry, saying that her mother didn't know how to get into the needle when embroidering, and invited her, a master of embroidery, to go over. So he gladly answered the order and ran to his uncle's house.
In her uncle's inner room, when Xu Yanluo was teaching her uncle to embroider peonies while knocking melon seeds and chatting with the sky, a maid came to report and said, "The master is here." Xu Yanluo hurriedly stood up and wanted to accompany her uncle to the outside room to wait for her uncle to come over so that she could pay a respect. My aunt smiled and said: "It's all my own family, I see them almost every day, and I am polite in my own home, saluting and returning the salute, which makes everyone very angry." You might as well wait here, I'll see what's going on, and I'll send him away if it's okay, so as not to delay our two of us to talk and embroider. With that, he pressed her down in a chair, smiled and lowered the curtain, and walked out of the inner room.
"You're back." After a while, I heard my aunt greeting. And the uncle took a heavy step, just a low "um", went into the outer room, made his butt directly on the chair, drank a sip of water, and then said nothing more. The dreary air made Xu Yanluo feel that she was no longer suitable to go out to greet her.
"What's wrong with you? Is something wrong? After a while, my aunt inquired cautiously.
"Ugh." I only heard my uncle sigh, and then suddenly said in a low, pathetic, heavy and somewhat resentful voice: "Flesh and blood! Big brother, alas! Chi'er, Xu'er, Sui'er, alas! How will you explain to your eldest sister in the future? ”
"Ahh What's wrong? What the hell is going on? The uncle was so frightened that she almost screamed, and hurriedly asked.
Xu Yanluo had three aunts, who were married to the three sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, the eldest aunt was the eldest daughter and married to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the second aunt was married to Zhu Gui, the acting king, and the third aunt was married to Zhu Ying, the king of An.
And Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui are the only three sons of the aunt and Yanwang Zhu Di, and Xu Yanluo has always played well with them when she was a child. They came from Beiping, the feudal territory, on the day of Emperor Taizu's death in May, and have been staying at Xu Yanluo's house since they came, and their parents and Yanluo have been warmly entertaining them.
At this time, Xu Yanluo in the middle was almost the same as her uncle, so nervous that her heart suddenly shrunk into a ball, eager to know why.
I only heard my uncle say slowly: "Today, Your Majesty summoned several of our confidant ministers to the inner court to discuss matters, saying that he received a report from Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, that King Yan is crazy, and King Yan often wears his hair on the streets of Beiping, runs crazy, yells, and even robs other people's food, gobbles up, and sometimes lies in the ditch on the side of the road in a drowsy state, he talks nonsense all day long, often lying on the ground with his head tilted, kicking and kicking, and not getting up for a long time. At the same time, His Majesty received a secret recital from Shi Gecheng, the eyeliner chief who was placed in the Yan Wang's Mansion, saying that Yan Wang was actually pretending to be crazy, one was to let His Majesty let his three sons go back to Beiping to visit their father, and the other was to paralyze the imperial court, so that he could build weapons secretly, train the dead, and prepare for rebellion. His Majesty asked us what we thought. ”
"And what did you all say?" It is a matter of life and death for the family, and my uncle is also extremely concerned.
"I replied, Yan Wanggui is the emperor's uncle, and he is connected to His Majesty by blood, and he is extremely blessed, so how can he rebel?
At this time, Huang Zicheng, a scholar of Hanlin, also said that King Yan may also have seen His Majesty's firm determination to cut down the domain, and has successively cut the five kings of King Zhou, King Dai, King Min, King Xiang, and King Qi, especially King Xiang Zixi, and the rest are all abolished as concubines, and the king of Yan is too frightened and worried, crazy, or deliberately pretending to be crazy to seek refuge.
However, Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, immediately questioned, how could the young man of King Yan practice soldiers, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is accustomed to seeing life and death, because of fear and worry?
I didn't want the eldest brother to stand on Qi Tai's side at this time, and added that King Yan was always ambitious and ambitious, and he knew that it was inevitable for the imperial court to cut the domain, and he would not be a person waiting to be killed.
After hearing this, His Majesty asked urgently, what should be done? ”
Uncle took another sip of water and continued: "Qi Taiyu reported that since the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui entered Beijing to worship Emperor Taizu Gao in May, they have arranged to live in the Wei Mansion in the name of being taken care of by relatives.
Huang Zicheng immediately retorted, saying that this would startle the snake, so it was better to return the three brothers to King Yan, indicating that the court had no intention of cutting the feudal domain to paralyze King Yan.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the eldest brother actually objected to Huang Zicheng's proposal and suggested that these three brothers were his nephews, he watched these three people grow up, and knew their conduct very well, these three people are all talented, especially Zhu Gaoxu, the most brave and the most scoundrel, he will not only not be loyal to His Majesty, but also will not even be loyal to his father, if the tiger returns to the mountain, the consequences are unimaginable, so these three people must not be allowed to go back, not only should they be taken hostage, but once the king of Yan has a change, he should be killed immediately to prevent future troubles. ”
"Huh? Is that really what the eldest brother said? Uncle couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Alas! If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it, and I saw that the ministers present at the time were also surprised. The eldest brother has always been among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and among our brothers and sisters, how clean and gentle, and benevolent.
Fortunately, His Majesty has hesitated for a long time today and has not yet made a decision, and if Chi'er, Xu'er, and Sui'er are really imprisoned today, the eldest sister's husband has just gone crazy, and he has to face the imprisonment of his three sons, and it is spread out, this idea is from the eldest brother, how can the eldest sister bear it? If the eldest sister has three longs and two shorts, how will relatives, friends, and ministers think of our brothers? Today, some people behind the back said that the eldest brother lost trust because he was afraid that His Majesty would be suspicious of his relationship with King Yan, and deliberately fell into the well to clear up the relationship in order to protect his black yarn; Some people also say that the eldest brother, as the crown prince, deliberately used his nephew to show his loyalty and selflessness.
Alas, even if King Yan pretends to be crazy and rebels, the three sons of Chi'er, Xu'er, and Sui'er are far away in the capital, and they don't know it's not a crime? Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to the law department of the country to deal with, does it have to be handed over to our brothers to destroy their relatives in righteousness? Flesh and blood affection, how can love be? And what can I do today? Uncle sighed.
"The eldest brother has always loved my sister and these three nephews, and if I say this today, I must have a last resort." Xu Yanluo heard her uncle quickly interject and interrupted, and seemed to point to the inside with her hand again. Uncle Fang knew that there was someone in the inner room, and immediately remained silent.
At this time, suddenly a domestic servant walked in outside and said to his uncle: "Master, point to the warehouse..."
"What happened to the books in my collection? I told you a long time ago, let you cherish it, don't mess with the tide for me. I heard my uncle interrupt angrily, and then said to the servant, "Okay, don't say anything, go, take me to see it first." With that, he immediately walked out of the room with the servant.
"Yanluo, I'm sorry, your uncle drank too much today, don't listen to his nonsense, let alone tell others, otherwise, your uncle will bear the sin of leaking the secrets of the court." Don't ask your father, because your father must be very sad and easy to hurt their brotherly feelings. We women act as if we don't know anything, and this national affair is not our responsibility. "Uncle came in to comfort Yanluodao.
Xu Yanluo is already mixed, she knows that in fact, her uncle and uncle have a lot of complaints about her father, but it is inconvenient to say it directly because of the situation.
"Uncle, it's getting late, I'm going back." Xu Yanluo smiled reluctantly, excused herself and left, and it was inconvenient for her uncle to stay, so as not to be embarrassed.
