344: Life and death unknown
The will to go to Jiangnan was issued quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Gongsun Ruihua accepted the decree and rewarded the silver, so he sent someone to send the eunuch who delivered the decree away.
His eldest son, Gongsun Ke, stepped forward, his eyes burned, and he stared at the direction where the eunuch had left: "Father, I'm afraid that there will be fraud in this matter." ”
Gongsun Ruihua is over fifty years old, white hair has already grown on his sideburns, and he holds the holy decree in his hand, and sneers: "Of course there is fraud." ”
Gongsun Ke was stunned: "Then this Jiangnan ......"
"Do you want to fight for your father?" Gongsun Ruihua squinted his eyes and looked over, "I am the first assistant of the dynasty, and the affairs of Jiangnan, no matter how important they are, they are not to the point where they want me to go there in person." If Your Majesty wants to carry someone with status to Jiangnan to town, Kang Dingbo alone is enough, or adult princes, you can send it over, why do you have to let me go? ”
Gongsun Ke bit his lower lip: "Does Your Majesty know something?" ”
Gongsun Ruihua didn't speak again.
He is not a person who has the skill of following the dragon, unlike Yan Jing.
But Yan Jing died unexpectedly, and the case has not been clarified until now.
This point has long made Gongsun Ruihua feel frightened.
He corresponded with Yunnan at first, and it was indeed to protect his status.
His Majesty wants to move the cabinet, but he can't detect it.
It's just that because he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and there is nothing wrong with him, it is difficult to do it for a while.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen to the Zhen family.
At this time, if you want to cut off contact, it is already up to Sun Ruihua himself.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's all Bai Qihuan's bastard thing!" ”
Gongsun Ke's eyes flashed with fear: "Father said this, could it be that Your Majesty really knows your relationship with Yunnan?" ”
Gongsun Ruihua took a breath and looked at his son coldly: "Why do you think Kang Dingbo was sent out?" ”
Is this a coincidence?
If it was placed in the past, Gongsun Ruihua would not think too much.
But recently, there have been many incidents, from Xue Wanhe to Cui Pu Mengkui, from Yan Jing to Tanjia.
One by one, all of them show His Majesty's intentions.
If there are too many coincidences, it must not be a coincidence.
At this time, he was sent to Jiangnan with Kang Dingbo, making it clear that there were still tricks waiting for them.
Gongsun Ke took his arm: "Father, you can't go." ”
The chill in Gongsun Ruihua's eyes became more and more intense: "If you don't respect the decree, Your Majesty can dismiss me at this time." ”
"Why didn't my father write on the grounds ......of his advanced age?"
"It can't be." Before he finished his words, Gongsun Ruihua had already interrupted him, "Ke'er, if Your Majesty gives me a way out, I won't give this decree directly." He should first summon me and Kangdingbo Qingfeng Temple to face the saints, and then make a final decision. If this is the case, in the Qingfeng Palace, the father can naturally resign, this time the journey is far away, the journey is not tiring on the way, the father is more than fifty years old, can not stand this sin, it is also human nature. ”
Gongsun Ke was frightened, and he couldn't say a word.
His Majesty cut off his father's back path, in other words, what he feared in his heart, it was bound to happen.
Whether they live or die is no longer up to them.
Gongsun Ruihua sighed, and pressed a hand on Gongsun Ke's shoulder: "For my father to live to this age, Ronghua has a lifetime, is there anything else to be afraid of?" It's just that you have to remember that no matter what happens to Jiangnan, you have to endure it, and you must never have any more dealings with Yunnan. If Bai Qihuan ascends the gate of my Gongsun Mansion again in the future, you must avoid it, remember? ”
"Father!" Gongsun Ke listened to his words, and he was clearly explaining the aftermath.
How did it get to this point?
His father, who used to be His Majesty's most relied on minister, was the first assistant lord of the dynasty.
Why did you come to this dead end?
Gongsun Ruihua himself saw it very openly.
From the last time Wan Yunyang came to visit, there were many temptations in the conversation, and Gongsun Ruihua expected that there might be today.
Your Majesty is suspicious, where is it so easy to dispel?
Even if Bai Qihuan didn't come to the door, His Majesty wouldn't let him go too long.
It's just that one is the road of life, and the other is the unknown road of life and death.
The day Gongsun Ruihua and Kang Dingbo left for Jiangnan was the fifth day of the fifth month of May.
The emperor personally went to the city gate to see him off, to show that he valued the facts of the case.
The two of them said goodbye to the king under the imperial city, and the group of people and horses walked away.
The breeze is blowing, and the imperial city is bright yellow. The corners of the clothes move with the wind.
Qi Su stood behind the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, go back to the palace." ”
The emperor shook his head with a smile: "This farewell is a farewell to death." ”
After finishing speaking, he still stared at the city tower: "Qisu, in fact, Gongsun is indeed a good official and a pillar of talent, it is not unreasonable for the first emperor to reuse him." It's just that people are always greedy and insufficient. ”
He pursed his lips and didn't answer again.
He knew that if Gongsun Ruihua could give up the power in his hand and write a letter to resign and return home, His Majesty would not want his life.
It's a pity that Gongsun Ruihua is smart, and in the end, he still can't let go of power.
"Let's go." The emperor came back to his senses, turned around and went down to the city tower, and asked again, "Is there a letter in Yunnan?" ”
Qi Su pinched his fingers and calculated, His Majesty was really in a hurry, that is, he rushed to Yunnan for eight hundred miles, not to mention ten days and half a month, not to mention that he had to take a carriage all the way to Beijing, how could a noble person like her be in a hurry?
So Qisu coughed lightly: "I'm afraid it will take some time." ”
"I can't wait any longer." The emperor bit his voice and didn't look back, "Send someone again, since it is the reason why Niangniang is seriously ill, they should also be in a hurry!" ”
This is to be urged.
Qi Su thought about it carefully.
Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and Cui Pu and Meng Kui have not yet arrived in the capital, but on the eighth day of the first lunar month at the latest, they should also arrive.
After that, His Majesty's personal trial dragged on for ten days and half a month, and it was the end of May.
Sure enough, the emperor had already opened his mouth first: "May 25, twenty days, whether they are day and night, day and night, or sleepless, they have to bring people to the capital." ”
Qi Su clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and still asked: "Then when Madame and her party enter Beijing, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”
The emperor was slightly stunned.
Yes, Zhen Xian is dead, and it is impossible for Mrs. Zhen to see her again.
The emperor only thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's put the head under house arrest in the palace first." ”
If you don't put it outside, I'm afraid that if you can't prevent it, they will send the news again.
Its prime jaw responded to a yes.
Before he could ask any more questions, the emperor had already opened his mouth first: "The affairs of the Zhen family can be put aside for the time being, just wait for the lady and her party to enter Beijing, and then you can move." In the past 20 days, the matter of Yan Jing has been over. ”
