Chapter 302: Sacrifice to the Heavens
There was only one night left for them to talk as a couple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chang Runzhi coaxed his youngest son to sleep, and said softly to Liu Tong: "The luggage is packed, if it is hot today, the burden is light." I heard the eldest sister say, the king of Rui on the road has been arranged, and there will be officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanying him, what to do along the way, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will remind you that you can do it. ”
Chang Runzhi looked at him: "Back and forth, plus the time spent on sacrificing the sky, if you don't delay, you will be able to come back in almost a month." While this time, I will take care of the house. The people who were released before should come back a little when they hear the news, and there should be no shortage of people to serve. ”
Liu Tong nodded while listening, and thought for a while: "When I come back this time, I estimate that the palace should reward a set of mansions, and the door plaque must be replaced with the door plaque of the county king's mansion, the size of the Nine Emperors' Mansion is really not compliant." ”
"Those are all said in another way, where we live, we have to live comfortably."
Chang Runzhi paused and said softly: "I asked Yangyang today, do you have an impression of this place, Yangyang only remembers that there is a big water tank in the main hall, saying that there are fish in it...... As he spoke, he asked me if I wouldn't go home to live in the small yard in the future, and said that he was reluctant to raise chickens with vegetables grown in the yard, and he was reluctant to give him those seesaws, swings, and turntables that you built for him, and he was still looking forward to Ling'er being able to play......"
Liu Tong's heart softened when he heard this, and he hugged Chang Runzhi and said, "If he likes it, he will make another one for him." ”
Chang Runzhi snuggled into his arms, answered, and asked him again: "Go to the palace today, what explanation does King Rui have to say to you?" ”
"I didn't see the fifth brother." Liu Tong said: "I heard that the fifth brother is busy pushing military orders, and he often stays in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
Chang Runzhi was stunned.
"My father asked me to sacrifice to heaven on his behalf, I guess I'm still angry with the fifth brother." Liu Tong sighed and said: "Who doesn't know, the one who can have the qualifications to sacrifice to the sky is either the emperor or the prince." In this situation, it is a matter of time before the fifth brother ascends the throne, and the father can't go to the heavens, so the fifth brother should go. My father pushed me out, one is because I am now the adopted son of a noble concubine, if the son is considered to be a noble mother, my adoptive mother status is the highest, and it makes sense for me to sacrifice to heaven on my behalf. What's more, presumably the father wants to take this opportunity to see how the fifth brother reacts. ”
"Aren't you worried, King Rui is afraid that you will have a different heart?" Chang Runzhi asked curiously.
Liu Tong smiled when he heard this: "I have self-knowledge, and the fifth brother also knows that I don't have that thought." If the fifth brother suspects me of having two hearts because of this, it will be in vain for me to regard him as my dearest brother. ”
Liu Tong nodded Chang Runzhi's nose: "What's more, I have been locked up in Zhongguan Hutong for nearly three years, and now that I have come out, I have to rely on the fifth brother to take care of everything, even if I go to Qin Tianshan, don't you have to rely on the guidance of the fifth brother to travel smoothly?" ”
Chang Runzhi raised his eyebrows: "Fifth brother and fifth brother, you are full of confidence in your fifth brother." ”
Liu Tong laughed sullenly and nodded: "Yes, even if you don't talk about brotherly feelings, I think the fifth brother will not be jealous of me." ”
Liu Tong paused, sighed and said, "In the eyes of the fifth brother, like the crown prince, like the king of Qi, they, and me, are not his opponents. It's not that he despises us, it's that he has absolute confidence in his own strength. It's like a mayfly and a tree, like an ant and an elephant. The fifth brother didn't care about the word 'fight' at all. ”
Chang Runzhi listened in a daze, and only said after a while: "Ah Tong, your understanding seems to be a lot more transparent." ”
Liu Tong said with a smile: "In Zhongguan Hutong for two or three years, it's hard for me to say, but I think very clearly. After me, I will be an idle king, when the fifth brother needs me, I will run errands for him, and when I have nothing to do, I will go home and tease your son with you. Oh yes, I have to think about it, let you give birth to a daughter, otherwise the family is full of stinky boys, which is somewhat regrettable. ”
"You're beautiful."
Chang Runzhi snorted at him, thought about it carefully, and felt that what Liu Tong said was really right.
It seems that King Rui really didn't regard the prince as an opponent.
The fall of the crown prince, although there is the advancement of King Rui and the decisive threat, I have to say that the prince is really self-inflicted.
If he were a virtuous crown prince, even if he knew that Emperor Yuanwu had an illegitimate son, he didn't care, and what happened later would not happen.
As for the others, they don't have the ability to compete with King Rui, at most they create some rumors and fan a little bit of fire...... Wasn't it also dissolved by King Rui's downplay? The splash can't stir up a few.
As for Liu Tong, that is even more loyal to King Rui.
King Rui's ability to calculate people's hearts is so powerful, can he not see Liu Tong's absolute support for him? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Liu Tong is dissatisfied with some of Ruiwang's practices and policies, he will definitely not persecute Ruiwang.
But......
Chang Runzhi suddenly thought of another person.
"Ah Tong, King Rui is not afraid of you, so will he be afraid of King Nanping?"
Since Liu Tong was imprisoned in Zhongguan Hutong, the king of Nanping has accepted all the power in his hands, and he has disobeyed the prince Yang on the surface, but secretly he is the person of King Rui, and because of his meritorious service in going to Nanban to quell the riots, he was named the king of Nanping by Emperor Yuanwu.
If you call someone else, you may have a different mind.
I don't know if the king of Nanping has such a mind, but does King Rui really have nothing to do with the king of Nanping?
Liu Tong immediately smiled when he heard this: "The fifth brother knows that the twelfth brother doesn't have that mind. ”
"Are you clear again?" Chang Runzhi only felt funny.
Liu Tong said: "Yes, the twelfth brother is an infatuated species, didn't he come to me before and said, when I get out of Zhongguan Hutong, do you want to push everything on my hands to me?" I guess all he thinks about is his daughter-in-law's body now. ”
"Princess Nanping did hear that she was not in good health, so she rarely showed up." Chang Runzhi: "But the husband and wife have a deep relationship, and this does not affect the ambition of the king of Nanping for the throne, right?" ”
Liu Tong hesitated, but still whispered to Chang Rundao: "If the twelfth brother really has that thought, then the hiding is too deep. I don't want to be so suspicious of my brother. ”
Chang Runzhi shut up at the right time.
Even if King Nanping really had that kind of thought, it would not be Liu Tong, as long as Liu Tong didn't have that thought.
The husband and wife chattered for a long time before they fell asleep tiredly.
Early the next morning, someone from the Ministry of Rites came to welcome him into the palace.
Chang Runzhi tidied up his clothes, asked his two sons to say goodbye to him, and watched him go away, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
I won't see you for another month.
Even though they have seen each other every day and been together every day in the past two or nearly three years, Chang Runzhi is still a little reluctant to think that he is going to go far away.
As soon as the man left, she was thinking about him in her heart.
Liu Jingling pointed to the distant carriage and horse with one hand, and climbed Chang Runzhi's leg with the other hand, and said loudly: "Daddy is axed!" ”
"Well, Daddy's gone." Chang Runzhi bent down and hugged him: "Daddy is going to leave for a month, when Daddy comes back, will Ling'er not remember what Daddy looks like?" ”
Liu Jingling tilted his head, pointed at Liu Jingyang and said, "Look at the big brother!" ”
Chang Runzhi sneered and said with a smile: "The ghost is clever." (To be continued.) )
