Chapter Thirty-Four: Memories of Loneliness
At that time, the first emperor was very old, and he went when Chongsi Qing was two years old, and some people in the palace joked that Emperor Mingcheng was an elder brother and a father, and many people turned their eyes to Chongsi Qing's mother, who was still young and moving, and looked at her with a deep meaning, and it was rumored that Emperor Mingcheng was Chongsi Qing's father.
Emperor Mingcheng severely suppressed the rumors in the palace, so that until now, Chongsiqing still doesn't know that there is such a source.
Chongsi Qing liked to read books and paintings when he was young, the ministers in the palace all felt that they were not doing their jobs, only Emperor Mingcheng did not object, and then when Emperor Mingcheng went to see him again, he often saw one hand supported there, not to read the book to see the fascination, or to seriously outline what one stroke to, Emperor Mingcheng could look at it for a long time, and occasionally bring government affairs, set up a small table on the side, and quietly corrected it.
"In our Great Xia Dynasty, women are still martial, but I didn't expect you to be an outlier." Emperor Mingcheng would often make fun of him.
Chongsi Qing actually did not give up learning martial arts, but when he was learning martial arts, he set aside a large part of his time for calligraphy and painting, and taught him martial arts people praised him for his peculiar roots, and sighed and admired, "You are not here, if you can concentrate on learning martial arts, within twenty years, you can become a famous master on the rivers and lakes." ”
But Chongsi Qing is really not here, he likes to be quiet and tired, he is not competitive, and the fierce fighting of martial arts is not suitable for him. Emperor Mingcheng once mentioned that he would be crowned king and open up a huge Jing'an palace outside the imperial city. Chongsi Qing shook his head and refused, "It's good to live in the palace, so that you can often see the imperial brother." "I don't know how long this kind of day lasted, although Chongsi Qing at that time felt that the existing system was very unreasonable, but there was no trace of antipathy, in his heart, the imperial brother is a qiē.
The rupture came so quickly, Chongsi Qing's biological mother, Sun, was accused of having connections with the literati of the previous dynasty, Emperor Mingcheng investigated and punished those literati who propagandized against the Great Xia Dynasty, Ling Chi with more than 3,000 knives, three days and three nights, Sun was locked in a dungeon, waiting for the fall.
Chongsiqing found Emperor Mingcheng, knelt on top of the court, willing to atone for his mother, Emperor Mingcheng's eyes suddenly blurred, "Brother Huang, you get up." Emperor Mingcheng grabbed Chongsi Qing's waist and brought him to the bed, Chongsi Qing stared, looking at the emperor who he had always trusted, who had always been regarded as a heavenly emperor, doing things that he couldn't understand, Emperor Mingcheng hugged Chongsi Qing: "Brother, I'm sorry." ”
After that, Sun was placed under house arrest in the palace, and rumors spread in the palace that Emperor Mingcheng fell in love with his son. Emperor Mingcheng felt a headache, he found an excuse, sent Chongsi Qing to the far Zhuangzi, Chongsi Qing was curious why he was suddenly sent to Zhuangzi, at the same time, I heard that Sun secretly wrote a rebellion in the palace, and tried every means to spread it out of the palace, Emperor Mingcheng transferred Chongsi Qing, just to take advantage of this loophole, solve Sun's family, and then turn around and give her an excuse to die of illness at will.
Chongsi Qing hurried overnight and went to the palace, saying that he wanted to see the Sun family, and when Emperor Mingcheng saw him return, his eyes lit up, and he said: "My brother thinks about it too much, how can I do such a thing." Emperor Mingcheng took Chongsi Qing to personally open the door of Sun's residence, and what caught his eye was a fluttering dress, a white streamer hanging on the top of the beam, and Sun's long tongue was spitting out, and his face was hideous.
Chongsi Qing was stunned, Emperor Mingcheng was also stunned, his first reaction was to cover his younger brother's eyes, but it was too late, Chongsi Qing struggled desperately in his arms, and let out an injured low roar: "Brother Huang, why are you lying to me!?" Brother Huang, I'm so good, why do you still lie to me? ”
For Emperor Mingcheng, Chongsi Qing is the person he loves, originally he was his younger brother, but as he grew older, this feeling slowly changed its taste, and only he could understand what it tasted like. He even deceived and coaxed his young brother, who was originally uneasy.
Sun's death was indeed related to him, but he did not kill him. Sun also listened to the rumors in the palace, thinking that her son's sacrifice was a condition for her to survive, so when she learned that her son was not in the palace, she left a letter: "I don't want Qing'er to be someone else's plaything, now that I'm dead, I'll be clean, see what else you can use to threaten him." ”
Emperor Mingcheng saw the note and burned it, and he didn't want his younger brother to see the word plaything. One is betrayed by a trusted person, the other is that there is a hardship that cannot be explained, and the final result of the compromise is that Emperor Mingcheng gave Chongsi Qing the title of prince, he established the Jing'an Palace, read more books, understood what his mother had done, and then later, he understood personnel and hated Emperor Mingcheng more and more.
Chongsi Qing began to secretly look for things related to the previous dynasty, and finally met Zhang Zeyuan, and learned that some people related to the previous dynasty lived in seclusion, continuing their thoughts, planning to restore the etiquette one day, so that they could come out again to contribute.
Then he began to plan a qiē constantly, but he never thought that this was still a child's play in the eyes of others.
~~~~~~~~
In the bustling tea shop in Beijing, a tea customer in his thirties and forties was sipping tea and exclaiming: "I said that this tea is good, it must be brewed with early morning dew and this year's new Longjing." ”
Although he is tasting tea, but the appearance of drinking tea has nothing to do with the taste, like the people in the teahouse, they are all holding up the cup, a burst of cow drink, the fashion of this dynasty has always been so rough, the so-called tea shop, but a place to drink water.
Someone next to him quipped: "Drink tea and drink tea, and you have to say what it means." The tea guest drank the remaining tea in the cup, and blushed: "This is tea tasting, do you know, the people who know how to taste tea the most in this dynasty, do you know, but His Royal Highness King Jing'an ......"
The tea guest's Shengying slowed down, his hand moved in his sleeve, and a few streams of depressive powder floated out, and he continued to mumble: "Do you know some news about His Royal Highness King Jing'an recently?" ”
The expressions on the faces of the tea guests were confused, and they fell into the memories in a daze, and after a while, people began to speak in twos and threes:
"His Royal Highness King Jing'an has always lived in a simple house, rarely going out of the house, and there is no news."
"But no,,It's a strange person,Around his mansion,No vendors are allowed to pass by,The palace is still built so remotely,Yesterday I had a bad stomach,I'm going to find a wall to make it easier,The palace is large,I accidentally found a wall in the palace,As a result, a few soldiers suddenly appeared,Pointing a gun at me." Another tea guest recalled.
"It's not, it's mysterious all day long, and since yesterday, even the side door has been gone."
…………
The thirty-four-year-old tea guest tightened his hands in his sleeves, Chongsi Qing, it is very likely that he will be under house arrest in the Jing'an Palace.
