Tomorrow is the day when Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, lifts the ban, and the emperor sent someone to send him a letter early in the morning, asking him to come to the morning court early tomorrow morning. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The news soon reached the imperial concubine.
The emperor's intention to do this was obvious, so the imperial concubine was very happy when she learned the news, and immediately got up and asked Qinglian to help her dress up.
"Help me comb my peony hair today." The imperial concubine said.
Qinglian knew that whenever she was in a good mood, she would ask to comb her peony hair, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
When Qinglian was helping the imperial concubine comb her hair, the imperial concubine took out a token from the drawer under the dresser and gave her a token and said, "Stay at your Taihang Temple, go to incense, and pray for King Jin by the way." ”
The imperial concubine can't go out of the palace casually, but she has a peer token, so she can give the token to her subordinates and let them go out of the palace for her.
"Okay." Qinglian hurriedly put the token in her pocket.
The imperial concubine also instructed the kitchen to cook a dinner tomorrow night exactly according to King Jin's dietary preferences.
She wanted to celebrate him.
In the evening of that day, Empress Jingzhuang asked the prince to come to Kunyi Palace.
"Tomorrow is the day when King Jin lifts the ban, His Majesty asked him to go to the court early in the morning, obviously this is equivalent to restoring all his previous rights." Empress Jingzhuang said to the crown prince Zhao Yuliang.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuliang nodded.
"I haven't heard His Majesty say whether to get together for dinner after the morning court tomorrow, and I don't know if I want to hold a celebration." Empress Jingzhuang frowned.
To be honest, even if His Majesty wants to hold a celebration for King Jin, she doesn't really want to make a scene.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't say it, then you should know nothing." The prince said.
He also had no intention of welcoming King Jin.
"Hmm." Empress Jingzhuang nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The prince was in a hurry to return to the East Palace because he had something to do, so he got up and said goodbye.
"Go ahead. Go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow you have to wake up and go to court. Empress Jingzhuang instructed.
The prince smiled and nodded.
After leaving the Kunyi Palace, the prince immediately hurried to the East Palace.
Just now, he received a letter from Lin Huan, saying that the prince sent someone to follow up on Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, sent an urgent letter back.
As soon as the prince entered, he went straight to the hall. As soon as his front foot entered the forest, he followed in with his hind foot.
Lin closed the door and immediately handed the letter to him.
The prince turned on the lamp on the desk and read the letter by the light.
The person who wrote the letter said that ten days earlier, two strangers had come to see Guo Mao in northern Xinjiang, and although they were dressed in the clothes of Han Dynasty officials, their body shape and face shape were very similar to those of Xiliang.
Master Guo chatted with them in the tent for about an hour. Since there were so many guards standing outside the tent at that time, we couldn't get close enough to eavesdrop, so I don't know what they were talking about. But when the two left the barracks, Xiao immediately sent someone to follow them quietly, and found that they were on the way to the capital at first, but when they arrived at the Oracle Bone Pass, they suddenly adjusted their direction and went to Xiliang. Since documents are required to enter and exit Xiliang, our people returned when they chased them to the jurisdiction of Xiliang, but it is certain that the two were sent by Xiliang. ”
After reading the letter, the prince immediately folded the letter and put it in his pocket, and said to Lin Huan: "Our previous guess is correct, Guo Mao really has contact with the people over there in Xiliang. ”
Xiliang is the jurisdiction of King Zhao Teng.
Lin Frame said: "Congratulations to Your Highness for getting a further clue." ”
The prince smiled slightly and said, "At present, we have not yet mastered any credentials, and there is still a long way to go." ”
"Yes, but as long as the traces are exposed, I'm not afraid that there will be no way to find loopholes."
The prince smiled and did not answer.
The next morning, after the civil and military officials knelt down to the emperor, someone came to report: "Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, is waiting for instructions at His Royal Highness. ”
The crowd immediately looked outside.
But I didn't see King Jin Zhao Yuxun.
Apparently, he was standing in the side hall.
"Xuan." The emperor said loudly.
With the words of Gonggong Zhang, a person outside the main hall walked calmly towards the hall.
When he got closer, everyone saw his appearance clearly, it was Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin.
Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, is wearing a cyan crown, a dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist, a jade gui in his hand, and a nine-fold crown on his head, coupled with a firm gaze and a solemn expression, which looks particularly solemn.
His complexion was ruddy and his body was muscular, which showed that he did not forget to exercise during the lockdown period.
The appearance of King Jin's image made everyone present involuntarily feel gratified, and of course, some people quietly gritted their teeth.
Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, slowly walked to the front of the emperor, knelt down respectfully towards the emperor, and said: "The son Zhao Yuxun knocked on his father, may my emperor live long live long live." ”
He saluted him as he spoke, his movements reverent and solemn, and his expression gentle but not majestic.
The emperor looked at him silently for a long time and said, "Flat." ”
Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, got up and walked back to where he had stood when he had been in the morning court.
This is the location adjacent to the crown prince.
He glanced at the prince.
The prince also looked up at him, but withdrew his gaze after a quick glance.
"Your Highness has had a good year and a half, right?" King Jin Zhao Yuxun asked.
Because he deliberately lowered his voice so low that only the prince could hear it.
"Very good, thank you for your concern." The prince replied in a calm tone, and looked at him again as he finished.
At this glance, the eyes of the two met at this moment, and they understood from each other's eyes at this moment that they did not really forgive each other, and the struggle between them would continue.
The emperor looked at the two sons in the palace, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
It was he who took the initiative to lift the ban in advance for Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, in order to create a sense of crisis for the prince.
But in this way, the prince's life will not be easy, and his life will even be in danger at any time.
Am I being too cruel to the prince by doing this? The emperor couldn't help but ask in his heart.
But the emperor immediately thought about it again.
Who calls him the crown prince, as the crown prince, if the prince wants to win the battle for the throne, he must have the ability to suppress his brothers, otherwise he will be overthrown by his brothers sooner or later.
Thinking of this, the emperor was relieved again, and said to the civil and military officials: "King Jin was young and vigorous and made mistakes for a while, but after he was grounded, he realized his mistakes and decided to change his past, so he copied the scriptures and repented every day during the lockdown, and devoted himself to atonement. I hope everyone will give him a chance to mend his ways. ”
