Chapter 257

The emperor's grandson is missing!

In this regard, the unmixed powerful family can only hehe.

The former prince was gone, and Emperor Jiayuan didn't give him a chance to pass the prince's position directly to the imperial grandson. How can those who are uncles endure it!

It's just that the imperial grandson is not in Kyoto yet, and an imperial grandson who must rush back to Kyoto in order to attend his father's funeral is simply a live target.

The older generation has seen the horror of Emperor Jiayuan's empathy. Emperor Jiayuan missed the White Empress and held the crown prince to the sky for more than 40 years. For more than 40 years, the other princes, whether they are good or not, are all mustard in front of the prince.

This empathy is terrifying! It was so terrifying that the other princes couldn't see the hope of robbing the country.

Now even if the crown prince is dead, Emperor Jiayuan has also been named Emperor Ruichang. When a person dies, there is nothing left, so the emperor will be the emperor! Anyway, it's just a false name, and it is they who are in charge of the world in the end, not the eldest brother of the prince who has been rotting for I don't know how many years.

They can put up with a dead man, but they can't stand the fact that the imperial grandson directly became the crown prince.

When the son died, he was directly crowned as a grandson, which allowed them to see another white queen and the crown prince.

The imperial grandson is now fifteen years old, and he will soon be able to enter the court, relying on the favor of Emperor Jiayuan and his father's connections, and then get married, and soon he will gain a firm foothold in the court and become another crown prince.

Emperor Jiayuan used to be physically strong and live for another ten or eight years, although he fell ill because of the death of the prince, but the foundation is still there, and he is fully capable of transferring and teaching the imperial grandson.

The princes and those who supported them were afraid, afraid of Emperor Jiayuan's 'sole favor' to the emperor's grandson.

The imperial grandson hurried back from the snowfields of the north to attend his father's funeral, and galloped all the way from the horse to Jane.

Along the way, the post stations on the official road have records of their changing horses, and a few days ago, they had received a flying pigeon from the emperor's grandson, and they were expected to arrive in Gyeonggi early yesterday morning. The crown princess Liu and the Zhenguo Mansion had already sent people to guard the official road.

Now a whole day has passed, and the imperial grandson, who should have arrived early, has not yet arrived, and it is reported that the people of the Zhenguo Mansion have found the post station where the imperial grandson stayed last time along the official road, but they still can't see nearly 100 people from the imperial grandson.

The news of the disappearance of the imperial grandson made the whole of Kyoto silent, and I wonder if Emperor Jiayuan would regret the holy decree that seemed to be a favor but was a life talisman if Emperor Jiayuan knew about the disappearance of the imperial grandson.

……

In the palace, Emperor Jiayuan lost too much blood and would get dizzy when he stood up and moved twice. Emperor Jiayuan lay quietly on the bed, the smiling faces of the White Queen and the crown prince kept flashing in front of him, and the wrinkled face also smiled.

The age of youth and sorrow is the happiest time of his life, the gentle and beautiful mother, the young boys and girls who have feelings for each other, the newlywed you and me, the ten-year struggle of suffering, until the final death of the sword for him is forever frozen, leaving him with his children to face the courtiers.

We have shared ups and downs together, but in the end, you did not stand on the highest place with me to enjoy the glory that belongs to us.

How cruel is this!

However, don't worry, what belongs to you, I will leave it to our son, our grandson, and no one can take it away.

Emperor Jiayuan recalled all kinds of past, and his heart throbbed and hurt.

He has never been a ruthless person, always nostalgic for the past.

The great eunuch Zhao Fu got the news of the disappearance of the imperial grandson, shook his body, gently pushed the door open, and entered the bedroom of Emperor Jiayuan with a white face.

Emperor Jiayuan, who was immersed in his memories, was disturbed by the squeaking sound of the hall and came back to his senses.

Emperor Jiayuan sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was getting old, and he was more and more fond of remembering the past.

"What's the matter? But the imperial grandson has returned? ”

The crown prince died, buried under the imperial system, and the state mourned for three years, and stopped for three months.

The emperor was heartbroken because of the loss of the crown prince, and officials from all over the country did not dare to find trouble for the emperor during this time. One by one, they were as quiet as chickens to keep vigils for the prince. The whole big merchant suddenly had no trouble.

Hearing Emperor Jiayuan mention the imperial grandson, Zhao Fu was even more frightened, walked to the bed and knelt down not far from the bed, and said forcefully: "His Royal Highness the imperial grandson is missing!" ”

Emperor Jiayuan was stunned for a moment, turned over and sat up violently, stared straight at Zhao Fu, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Fu stubbornly repeated: "The imperial grandson is missing!" A few days ago, the flying pigeon said that he should return to Beijing early yesterday morning, but there is no news so far. ”

"Poof!" Emperor Jiayuan spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"No news! Scold! No news! ”

Emperor Jiayuan slammed onto the bed and muttered lowly.

Zhao Fu was sprayed with blood, and immediately stood up and threw himself on the side of the bed in shock, "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! Are you alright? Doctor! Doctor! ”

……

Seven hundred and forty-nine days after the prince's coffin stopped, Emperor Jiayuan personally helped the spirit to send the prince into the imperial mausoleum.

The people of Kyoto all knelt on the ground to send each other, and white paper money was fluttering, paving the road from Kyoto to the Imperial Tomb.

The crown prince was sent away by the second son of the crown prince, and until the prince's coffin entered the imperial mausoleum, the missing imperial grandson was still not found.

The prince was buried, and the capital was still in a white silence.

There must always be a result in the affairs of the emperor's grandson.

More than a month ago, yamen from all over Gyeonggi dispatched to find the imperial grandson, but unfortunately, as if the imperial grandson had never set foot in Kyoto, no one was seen alive or dead.

Nearly 100 people disappeared with this.

There was silence in the capital, and the laughter of the children on the entire street, like the Liu family and the surrounding officials' houses, could not be heard.

The prince was buried by the emperor, but the Hanlin Courtyard was a reversal of the previous idleness, working overtime every day to sort out the prince's deeds during his lifetime, and writing a book for him.

Liu Yao was busy and couldn't go home, Du Xiaoxi took his youngest son, who was already able to leave, to recruit flowers and tease the dog to run around the yard.

Du Xiaoxi looked at his son who was swinging for a while and riding a wooden horse for a while, thinking of his senior brother who was in the limelight recently, Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, Du Xiaoxi had always been curious about why his senior brother didn't use the opportunity to accumulate strength for himself since he was a reborn person, but followed the prince to make a knife in the open. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be a prince with great achievements.

The situation is clear.

Because the emperor is an old immortal, because the crown prince has not survived the emperor.

The crown prince has been the crown prince for more than forty years, and his power has long been unbreakable. Instead of setting up a new stove, fighting with the crown prince and the princes, he was hostile to the emperor and hostile to many powerful families.

The situation simply couldn't be better.

The crown prince is gone, and the imperial grandson is gone. Most of the power under the crown prince was directly taken over by the senior brother, which is equivalent to the Nine Emperors picking up a large pair of family business for nothing.

The Nine Emperors took over the power of the crown prince and suddenly became the most powerful contender for the throne.

Du Xiaoxi sighed again and again in his heart, sure enough, he was an old goblin who had lived for many years, and he had become a sperm one by one!

The matter of the emperor's grandson made the surface of Jingzhong as calm as stagnant water, but the dead are always dead, and the living always have to plan for themselves.

Not to mention that the prince's family originally supported the crown prince's grandson, and the balance fell to the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes secretly collected the prince's power and transformed it into their own. Naturally, it was impossible for the other princes to watch the Nine Emperor Princes, who had always been nothing and from humble backgrounds, grow and become their opponents, standing on their heads.

Beneath the silence on the surface is the chopping waves.

There are endless rumors in Jingzhong that the crown prince was actually assassinated by the Nine Emperor Princes, just because the crown prince blocked the way of the Nine Emperor Princes. Some people even speculate that the death of the crown prince may also be related to the Nine Emperor Princes, or why the Nine Emperor Princes were not in Kyoto when the prince was smashed must have deliberately left early in order to clear himself.

There is also Master Xile and his female apprentices who are so skilled in medicine, they can cure plague, plague, big neck disease, jaundice, and heart palpitations, how can they not cure the prince who was smashed!

The children in the family are fine with a stick and hit it a few times, but they will die if they smash it!

It must be that Master Xile and his apprentices deliberately did not give the crown prince governance in order to help the Nine Emperor Princes, deliberately watched the prince die, and then the Nine Emperor Princes took over the power of the crown prince.

Heizi's brain hole is so hot, Du Xiaoxi followed the gun.

I heard that the concubines in the palace are now active, and they go to the emperor's bed every day with various nutritious soups to offer their courtesy, worrying that the emperor's body will always nagged the nine princes' current home, and take the opportunity to blow the pillow wind.

Imperial power! Politics! It's nerve-wracking!

After another half a month in the blink of an eye, I heard that Emperor Jiayuan's health had improved and he could already deal with the excerpts in the palace. The situation of confrontation between the 35692 princes in Beijing is also slowly taking shape.

Just when everyone thought that there was stability, news suddenly came from Canglang Prefecture, which was far away from eastern Kyoto.

They have a clue about the emperor's grandson.

Emperor Jiayuan and all parties were shaken, and the Zhenguo Mansion sent people to Canglang County overnight.

It all started yesterday.

Yesterday, a local pawnshop in Canglang County received a jade pendant, and the owner of this jade pendant was owned by Sun Sun, the second head of the Zhenguo Mansion.

When the crown prince received the news, the crown prince was still in a coma, and it was difficult for the prince of Zhenguo, who was guarding the border at that time, to imagine that the crown prince would pass away when the imperial grandson walked halfway. Emperor Jiayuan also soon named the emperor's grandson as the next heir.

Considering that the light car Jane returned to Beijing as soon as possible, there were not many people brought by the imperial grandson, except for the eldest grandson of the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, who was a loyal general of the Zhenguo Mansion.

After the disappearance of the imperial grandson, the Zhengguo Mansion has been trying its best to find it, and the objects that can reveal the identities of a group of people have been secretly sent to various places. Among them, there is the identity jade pendant brought by the grandson of the second room.

After receiving the jade pendant, the people of the pawnshop did not dare to delay and told the owner directly, and the owner of the pawnshop directly sent the news to the Zhenguo Mansion in order to climb the Zhenguo Mansion. But I don't know where there was an omission in the middle, and I actually made a fuss and knew everything I should know.

The jade pendant was a poor woman in Canglang County, and according to her, the jade pendant in her hand was picked up by her son half a month ago. When the in-laws of the family saw the best jade, they discussed that it would be regarded as a family heirloom in the family and passed on from generation to generation. As a result, a few days ago, the woman's man fell on the hill and rolled down the hillside and broke his leg. The money at home ran out, and I really couldn't think about using the jade pendant as an emergency.

The people from the Zhenguo Mansion rushed overnight, accompanied by the forbidden army yamen and Emperor Jiayuan's cronies. and the various factions that they ran to pay attention to silently.

Wei Lang, as the emperor's cronies, should not let the dominant position. The group hurried to Canglang County, didn't care about freshening up, and directly found the child who picked up the jade pendant.

Wei Lang, who is over fifty years old and has been promoted to grandfather, patted the little guy on the shoulder kindly, and asked with a smile: "Where did you pick up this jade pendant?" ”

The dry, thin little boy pointed directly to a large river south of the village.

Wei Lang smiled and nodded, took out a packet of candy and gave it to the little boy, and then asked, "Then can you take us there?" ”

"Good! My grandmother and mother had already looked for it there, but there was nothing. The little boy casually chewed candy and went out.

Wei Lang looked at the woman and her mother-in-law with a smile, the two of them shook their heads in unison, and the woman stammered nervously: "Master, we didn't know that it was a noble person's thing." I thought it was something from a shipwreck, just to see if I could pick up the treasure. Really didn't deliberately look for those things. ”

There is a lot of water in the Dashang River, and shipwrecks happen every day all over the country. In the past, there were also people in the village who picked up a treasure chest while digging sand by the river, and became extremely wealthy. Seeing that his son picked up such a good jade pendant by the river, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly went to find it. Maybe their family can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!

As a result, the baby was not found, and the man in the family broke his leg and lost all his family money. The jade pendant was not sold for money, and it was directly attracted by the people of the official family. This jade pendant is simply a disaster.

It's good now, it has something to do with the death of the imperial grandson.

At this moment, the woman really wanted to beat her son to death.

The group hurried to the river that the little boy said, and saw a small river three or four meters wide densely planted with water cabbage. A common farmhouse scene.

The little boy straightened his chest and pointed to the water cabbage in the river and said, "I was picking cabbage in the water that time, but I fell and caught the jade pendant." After saying that, the little boy looked at everyone with sparkling eyes, and the last time he said this, his father and grandmother said that he was the luckiest baby.

Wei Lang stared at the dense water cabbage on the water surface, and said coldly: "Search!" ”

The commander of the forbidden army jumped into the river one by one with the forbidden army and the people from the Yamen of Canglang County, and the dense water hyacinth was pulled out and thrown onto the shore, and the clear water surface became turbid.

Wei Lang frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

took out the jade pendant in his purse, and Wei Lang put it in his hand and examined it.

The jade pendant the size of a child's palm is crystal clear, and there is a purple veil on the jade pendant. White and purple complement each other, showing a hint of dignity.

Wrong!

Wei Lang turned the rope on the jade pendant, and his eyes became sharp.

It's not purple, it's purple!

The color of the silk threads in the holes of the jade pendant is noticeably darker than in other places.

This can only be caused by two reasons, on the one hand, the winding has been used for too long, the other places have been sunburned and the color has faded, or other reasons have made the color lighter. The other is that this rope has been soaked in water for a long time and has lost its color.

Wei Lang picked up the rope and looked at it seriously, and quickly came to a conclusion.

This jade pendant has been soaked in water for a long time.

If it is an old wind, there will definitely be raw edges and broken wires, etc., except for the wrong color, the rest is similar to the new one.
