Ninety-seventh
finally sent Aunt Hu away, and the second wife was in a good mood to handle the marriage for the fourth girl, Yifen, because she was married far away, this marriage was much simpler.
Since the wedding date was set at the end of November, there was no extra effort to prepare a dowry for her in detail, so the second wife asked Mrs. Tai to move something worth about 5,000 taels of silver from the treasury, and then gave her 3,000 taels of silver to make a box of silver. Because Yifen has been locked in her room and is not allowed to come out, naturally no one comes to see her and add makeup to her.
On the day she got married, it was even more cold and hastily sent people to the sedan chair, and Yifen was wronged from the time she was dressing and changing, and the tears in her eyes never dried, and she dripped tears all the way to the sedan chair, and the sedan chair carried her to her unknown fate.
The second wife saw her sedan chair going farther and farther, and then thought that Yifen would have to go to her hometown in Jiangxi with her son-in-law the next day, and even save the three dynasties to return to the door. When she arrives in Ganzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, she will be able to speak again, see how she will bother Sister Hui again?
Hmm, it seems that when I go back, I have to remind the people waiting around Sister Hui'er, so that they don't show all the letters sent by Ganzhou to Hui'er in the future, and send them all to themselves. Let's see what tricks Yifen can play again to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic here in Yihui!
After finishing Yifen's marriage, he will be busy with the New Year. The New Year of Lin De's twenty-first year is the same as in previous years, and it has passed uneventfully, but for the Great Qin Dynasty, it is quite uncalm, and it is a New Year that stirs up a thousand waves with one stone.
On the first day of the first lunar month, hundreds of officials lined up in the Hanyuan Palace, and officials and envoys from all over the world came to pay homage.
Emperor Lin De finished reading the edict of the Yuan Day, ordered to play Yale, in order to congratulate the new time, suddenly ran in from outside the palace a child about four or five years old, Sa Yazi ran in, and called his father when he saw people.
When the ministers were about to reprimand him for talking nonsense, they saw that he was wearing a python robe and a golden crown, which was a standard prince's clothing, and everyone immediately thought that the seven princes from the imperial concubine were exactly this age this year, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and didn't care to look at the look of Emperor Lin De who was sitting on it, but secretly looked at the little prince one by one.
It is really the only remaining little prince of Emperor Linde, who has been raised by the Empress Dowager Sun in the Ciqing Palace, except for the fact that he was held out to show a small face when he was one year old, and he has never let the ministers outside see each other, and now it is easy to see the dragon and phoenix qualities of His Royal Highness the Six Princes, and this kind of opportunity is naturally not to be missed.
Seeing that the seven princes didn't recognize their lives at all, they grabbed who cared who shouted to their father, and shouted inarticulately: "Father, I want candy!" "Father, where did you hide my father?"
Hearing all the ministers look at each other, their faces are a little delicate, and the words he shouted out made all the courtiers change their faces, these are all five-year-old children, even if they can't speak clearly, they shouldn't be unable to distinguish between people, right?
It was outrageous enough to not recognize his father sitting on it before, and it was outrageous enough to call everyone his father, but this time the seventh prince actually ran to Cui Zuoxiang, pulled his beard and shouted "Queen Mother"!
As soon as the little prince shouted twice, he saw four eunuchs hurriedly rushing in from outside the palace, hurriedly saluted Emperor Linde, and pleaded guilty: "It's all to blame for the negligence of the slaves and maids, and let His Royal Highness the prince run to this palace, and ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”
Emperor Lin De sat high on the dragon chair, his face was extremely ugly, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "Why don't you bring the prince back quickly!" ”
The four eunuchs hurriedly kowtowed, got up and went to chase the Seventh Prince, who was running all over the ground, and whispered in their mouths: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Queen Mother is waiting for you in Ciqing Palace, Your Highness, and your mother, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine Niangniang are also there, Your Highness, they are all waiting for you to go back for a snack!" Your Highness, come and go back with the slaves, Your Highness, I beg you, Your Highness! ”
These eunuchs were anxious, and accidentally said the wrong thing, and suddenly the upright minister glared at them, although this imperial concubine is comparable to the deputy queen, but is not the queen mother, this has not been straightened to the back seat, and actually let the son call her mother behind?
Although the seven princes didn't recognize his father, they were good at playing this game of chasing me and hiding, although their legs were short, but the hall was full of people, and he was drilling around in the crowd, and the two eunuchs couldn't catch up after chasing for a long time, and they were so anxious that they were about to cry!
I didn't know what to do, and suddenly I saw that the Seven Princes suddenly stopped running, and touched their bodies for a while, and everyone was wondering, and several ministers around him suddenly heard a ticking sound, and then saw a stream of water flowing from under the python robe of the Six Princes, and at the same time smelled some different smells.
Once again, the stunned ministers looked at the six princes who were standing there, and saw him bite his thumb in his mouth, a long stream of saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth, looking at the place on the ground that was wet by him, stepping on it with his feet, grinning not to mention how happy he was.
The Seven Princes were having fun, but the ministers were all overwhelmed. Looking at the situation of the Seven Princes, there is no need for the Imperial Doctor to come out and sue everyone, as long as a discerning person can see that this Sixth Prince, the only heir of the current Emperor Xià, he is a fool!
Everyone's hearts are half cold!
It can be said that from the time Emperor Lin De sat on this dragon chair, the emperor's heir was a sharp sword hanging over the head of the entire Yan and Qin court.
The sons born to Emperor Lin De when he was a prince were all lost in the Xinyou Rebellion, because as soon as he ascended the throne, his mother Empress Dowager Sun didn't care that the first emperor had only been gone for less than a year, so she secretly picked a few of her own girls as concubines for him, but three years have passed, and there is no good news in the harem.
So the ministers wrote to Emperor Lin De to draft a draft and recruit the heirs of the harem. Piles of beauties are sent to the palace like flowing water, and every three years, a bunch of young and beautiful beauties are sent in the draft, and a piece of good land is prepared for Emperor Lin De, just waiting for him to branch out.
It's a pity that several years have passed, except for a few concubines of the Sun family who finally sent out the good news, the rest of the beauties have all been silent, even if there was some movement, and in the end there was no movement.
It's a pity that the Sun family sent in several girls, but almost all of them were princesses, and it was easy for a Concubine Sun Xian to give birth to a prince, and she died before the full moon. Even the other two little princesses did not live past a year old, and they were simply sad about the Empress Dowager Sun in the palace and the ministers of the previous dynasty.
In the eleventh year of Linde, the other concubines in the palace could finally move, Liu Jieyu and Li Xuanzhi were pregnant, and gave birth to two princes, the fifth prince and the sixth prince, in succession the following year, which really made everyone happy for a while, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, no matter how carefully and carefully the two little princes were served by the people in the palace, the two princes still did not live past two years old, and died young.
In the past ten years, let alone the prince, Emperor Lin De has not even been able to raise a little princess, and it is inevitable that some rumors will come out in this palace. Not only did they say anything, but even some people in the old palace quietly leaked some words, saying that the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Sun were cursed with retribution, so they couldn't give birth to a prince, even if they were born, they couldn't raise them, but they were afraid that they would cut off their children and grandchildren.
was so angry that Empress Dowager Sun ordered people to check the harem three times, and arrested and executed many palace people to stop the rumors.
Fortunately, in the second year, Empress Dowager Sun's newly elected concubine Sun Xuemei lived up to expectations and gave birth to the seventh prince, and has been living peacefully until now, so this rumor is self-defeating.
The ministers looked at the seven princes who were taken away by the four little eunuchs, and finally understood why they had never seen this prince since he was one year old.
No wonder Empress Dowager Sun said that the Seven Princes are weak and sick, and it is not appropriate to see outsiders often, nor should they study too early, because this prince is indeed sick! It's just that it's not a disease in the body, but a disease in the brain, and it's a dementia by nature.
No wonder Empress Dowager Sun wants to hide him in the deep palace and prevent him from coming out to see people, this is for fear of being known that the only son of the saint today is a fool, and the ministers will shout about the emperor's plan again!
But is this not a shouting thing to do? I can't let this fool inherit the throne in the future!
It has been recorded in the history books that more than 1,200 years ago, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty passed his throne to his idiot son, a fool became the emperor, and the result can be imagined, the ministers told him that the people had no food to eat, and the stupid emperor said with a naïve face that it would be good to let them eat meat porridge! In the end, not only was the stupid emperor killed himself, but also ruined the great rivers and mountains of the Jin Dynasty.
With such a lesson from the past, there has never been an emperor who has made a foolish choice of an unintelligent son to inherit the unification, even if the chief is too stupid to ask for it.
It seems that these seven princes can not be established as the crown prince and inherit the unification, but apart from him, there is no other son in the saint today, and the saint is forty-two years old this year, I heard that not only has no good news come out in the palace in recent years, but even the saint rarely summons concubines to sleep, whether this can have another eight princes come out I am afraid that it is a little hanging.
If Emperor Lin De has been empty on his knees, then after a hundred years, who will the throne of Great Qin be passed on?
These ministers pondered in their hearts, and some of their eyes involuntarily drifted towards a certain direction on the right side of the main hall, where the only two remaining relatives of the royal family were standing, the King of Yingchuan and the King of Linchuan of Prince Yide's lineage.
