Chapter 45: Beginning
For half a month, the prince was groggy, and when he woke up, he fell asleep again in less than an hour, and Zhao Shu**** was waiting at the door of the side hall.
But the Queen Mother locked herself in the house, recited Buddhist scriptures, and did not come out again.
Zhao Zisheng ran to the palace every day, often waiting for it to get late before returning.
Sun Yun and Huo Danlan were by Zhao Shu's side together, and even the young Huo Guxian was extremely sensible, although he wanted to know the answer to the riddle that day, he didn't ask.
The queen mother doesn't care about anything, the entire palace is in the hands of Zhao Shu, Hao Guifei is locked up in the Buddhist hall, but she is **** singing, which is annoying, fortunately, the Buddhist hall is far away from the left hall, and she failed to disturb the prince.
"County Lord, go back and rest, there are minions here." Mrs. Peng persuaded distressedly.
Zhao Shu shook her head, "No need, I guard the prince's brother, even if everyone in the world abandons him, I won't." ”
He has persuaded countless times, but Zhao Shu just didn't listen, no matter the wind, rain or snow, he stayed outside the hall, like a sculpture.
Shaking her head and sighing, she stepped on the freshly fallen snow and went to decoct the medicine herself.
"Early spring." Zhao Shu screamed.
Chu Chun hurriedly came, "Please ask the county lord to command." ”
"Help Aunt and Miss Sun go back."
Huo Danlan and Sun Yun didn't move, Huo Danlan said, "Ah Jun, be good, go back with your aunt." ”
Zhao Shu shook her head, her mind was blank now, as if all her wisdom and all her strength had been drained, she was committed to letting the prince ascend the throne, but he was tortured again and again, was she wrong, shouldn't she be so embarrassed by the prince, should she find someone else to work with.
Can. She is unwilling, so unwilling, why can Zhao Bi marry the daughter of the Sun family, and get the help of the Sun family for nothing, why should her prince and brother be tormented, no, she can't admit defeat. No compromise! Can. She is so heartbroken, so heartbroken, the person in the house whose life hangs by a thread, is the only one who trusts her. A brother who treats her as a relative.
"Ajun, you see this, my aunt and I will replace you, okay? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not yet well. You will fall, and His Royal Highness will come back to see you like this. I will feel uncomfortable in my heart, Ah Jun, you think about King Yong, think about the Queen Mother. Sun Yun said worriedly.
Zhao Shu nodded. "Auntie, Ah Yun, you go and rest first. Come back for me later. ”
Yes, it can't collapse. Those people want to destroy the crown prince and prevent her from changing her fortunes, and she must not collapse!
Seeing that she finally agreed, Huo Danlan and Sun Yun were overjoyed, and as soon as the two left, Xiao Zhuzi came over, "County Lord, there is a letter from the capital." ”
"Bring it." She stretched out her hand, and Xiao Zhuzi put the letter in her hand, and the people around her were so far away that they couldn't see the contents of the letter at all.
Unfolded the letter, which talked about all the major events that had happened in Beijing recently, including the marriage between Liuli and the eldest son of the Hao family, Zhao Shu understood when she saw this, and she also knew whose gun Hao Guifei was.
The letter also mentioned the Wei family, the eldest girl of the Wei family and the eldest son of the Sun family, and the Sun family withdrew from the marriage of the Xie family, and the political opinion was not harmonious, no matter how good the daughter-in-law was, she also said that she would give up, Xie Jinhuan was still quite wise, and she was absolutely competent to be the daughter-in-law of the Sun family.
Now, it seems, it's just a joke.
Other things, last time Wei Tingsi had already written in the letter, no, there is another thing, that is, Mr. Huo Baichuan Huo, who has become the dream lover of the nobles in Beijing, and when he sneezes, some people are vying to imitate him.
Although the family's right to recommend has not been canceled, and the imperial examination has not yet been corrected, Huo Baichuan still does not dislike the imperial examination with no status, and won the title of champion in one fell swoop.
Moreover, many scholars, scholars near the capital, also took his bus and took the exam together, and now a group of people with lofty ideals have emerged in Beijing, many of whom followed behind Huo Baichuan, leading Huo, Xie, and Yan to fight a war of words with more party henchmen Sun and Yang Wei.
Although the Huo, Xie, and Yan families are also first-class families, the political opinions of the three families have touched the interests of all families, so it is Sun Yangwei's three families who are more supported.
I am afraid that it will take several years for this uneven battle for political power and institutional reform to come to an end.
Winning is famous, losing the grave grass is three meters high, and no one thinks to help pull it out.
She can't interfere with any of this, but she still can.
Tearing the letter to pieces, Xiao Zhuzi handed over the teacup very sensibly, put the shredded paper into the teacup, and said: "County Lord, with the message of the big boss of the Sword Pavilion, the prince will be able to go to Guanzhou in these two days." ”
Zhao Shu smiled, it was good for her father to return safely, "It's from Beijing, or is it?" ”
"The emperor has decreed that the prince does not need to return to Beijing, but comes to Guanzhou to fulfill his filial piety and accompany the queen mother for the New Year." Xiao Zhuzi told Zhao Shu the latest good news one by one.
Zhao Shu nodded and motioned for him to continue, "Zhuangzi's affairs are almost done, such as today's cold and freezing, I am afraid that there are many new faces, and the slave wants to go to Yashi, not to mention that it will take three or five days to return, so I specially came to ask the county lord for permission." ”
"Go, your eyes are open, if you can't see people, take Mama Zhuang with you." Older people are much more experienced and can see people accurately.
Xiao Zhuzi shook her head, "Mama is going to make shampoo and conditioner recently, and she is busy, why is the slave embarrassed to bother her?" People bring it back, the county lord, you go and take a look, if it works, we will ask for it, if not, it will be sold again. ”
"Go ahead." Zhao Shu didn't say more.
Xiao Zhuzi saluted and retired, the year is over, he has to speed up, and strive to be able to complete the things that the county lord has explained by the year before the year.
After he left, Xiao Guozi was guarding on the side, and there were snowflakes in the sky, so he hurriedly opened his umbrella to shield Zhao Shu from the snow.
The sky was gray, and seeing that the weather was afraid that it would take some time for it to clear, Zhao Shu rolled up her cuffs, it was really cold, but she always felt that if she didn't do something, she would feel uneasy.
"Are all the monks invited?" She asked, her voice was very soft, but Xiao Guozi stood behind him and listened to it word for word.
He pondered for a moment, "The county lord atons for his sins." Master Miaokong sat down, and only the master of the southern Canaan Temple had no leaves, and the servants had sent someone to invite, and the presiding officers of other temples, the slaves had also sent people, and asked the county lord to relax. Xiao Guozi also felt that Hao Guifei was too much.
With her arrival, what is now being talked about in Guanzhou City is not how the father and son of the Marquis of Zhongyong are disloyal, unjust, unkind and unbrave. It's how the dragon energy in her stomach is. As if she was about to give birth to a divine dragon, how Zhao Shu treated her poorly.
"Bear with her, let her, avoid her, bear with her, let her, ignore her, and in a few days. slander her, insult her, despise her, laugh at her, bully her, belittle her, and cure people. ”
Zhao Shu's voice was too soft, Xiao Guozi didn't hear it clearly, but he heard it roughly. However, he didn't understand.
When the snow stops again. The snow on the ground was much thicker, and Zhao Shu moved her feet, stepped on the snow, and lifted up. Print a small shoe print.
But soon, the shoe print was covered by the big foot, and Zhao Shu raised her head. Seeing Huo Baichuan smirking at him, "The big county lord is affectionate and righteous. It's really moving, and it's snowing all the time. ”
There was news of him just now, and the next moment it appeared here, Zhao Shu was a little suspicious that he flew over, "Mr. Huo, why did you come to Guanzhou?" ”
"I came to accompany the eldest sister and Xian'er for Chinese New Year's Eve, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came, I saw the big county lord playing self-harm here, tsk, it's really touching, it's so touching, I just hope God doesn't go to hibernation, I can't see the big county lord so heavy and righteous." He said that he looked at Zhao Shu with a smile, reached out and stroked a handful of snow on the umbrella he was holding and rubbed it in his hand.
The snow was crumpled into a ball and thrown towards Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu dodged lightly on her side, and on this side, she saw an old monk in a robe not far away, like an old tree, after the vicissitudes of the world but not moving, the calmness made her suddenly awe-inspired.
Different from the feeling given to her by Master Miaokong, the old monk in the robe seemed to be in harmony with heaven and man, giving people a feeling of desperate desire to relax at ease.
"Amitabha." The old monk bowed to Zhao Shu from afar, and then said no more, the eyes of the old dragon bell were extremely deep, and his eyes fell on the temple door, the palace door was closed, but he shook his head like seeing the dying prince inside.
Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, may I ask if it's Master Wuye?" She couldn't think of anyone else who could give her such a sense of peace of mind, it must be the Yeless Master of Canaan Temple mentioned by Xiao Guozi just now.
Master Wuye nodded slightly, and recited the Buddha's name again, "The suffering of the donor, the poor monks have all learned, the donor is assured, my Buddha is merciful, and the donor will return justice, bless the prince Kang'an, Amitabha." ”
Zhao Shu choked her palms together, "Thank you to the master, and ask the master to wake up my prince's brother." ”
"Amitabha, the mind is not the mind, the thing is not the matter, and the mind is higher than the object. The heart is the heart, the thing is the thing, the heart and the thing are one, and the heart and the object are one. Master Wuye recited the words of the Buddha.
Zhao Shu wanted to say again, she was anxious, but was interrupted by Huo Baichuan, "Your father is about to go to Guanzhou, the big county lord hasn't gone to have a good rest, look at your face, people are not ghosts, your father is afraid that he will not recognize you." ”
The people of the Huo family have been following King Yong, and they must know his specific information, which is much more accurate than Xiao Zhuzi, Zhao Shu asked in surprise: "But really?" ”
"Really, it's more real than it's snowing right now." Huo Baichuan looked at her as if he was an idiot, "If you are ugly, you should rest more." ”
For the sake of him telling him the good news, Zhao Shu decided not to meet him in general, turned around and ran into the side hall, where Imperial Doctor Zhou was guarding the hall, and Li Zhuo was on the beam.
Seeing Zhao Shu come in, Mrs. Zhou saluted, then stepped aside, leaving the position next to the bed to Zhao Shu.
Sitting lightly on the high stool beside the bed, she stretched out her hand to check the prince's pulse first, and the situation was improving, although it was very slow, but she was already very happy.
After letting Imperial Physician Zhou and Li Zhuo both go down, she spoke softly to the prince.
"Brother Prince, my father is coming back, you have to get better quickly, Dayong still needs you, if you don't care about Dayong, in the future, Dayong will fall apart like the Zhou Dynasty, and be divided by those chaotic ministers and thieves, how can we be worthy of our ancestors, it was they who fought down with their lives, you are the prince, you can't care, do you know that the four emperor brothers and the eldest emperor brother are colluding with the family, and the family is pressing us for several generations, do you want future generations of descendants to be subject to the courtiers, let them coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"
"The kings are ready to move, the nobles of the family refuse to let go of power, brother prince, our descendants of the Zhao family, maybe one day they will be slaughtered by others, and there is no place to bury them, you must get better, no matter how bitter and tired you are, you must get better, your responsibilities as a prince, your obligations as a royal family have not been fulfilled, you can't just be defeated, brother prince, the revenge has not been avenged, have you forgotten?"
"He didn't forget, but he was pretty much there."
Huo Baichuan suddenly walked in and said coldly to the prince: "So and unambitious, what kind of prince are you?" Such a prince, even if you invite Da Luo Immortal to assist, Dayong can't get better, I think you still don't bother, it's someone else who is sorry for him, and it's not you, you treat him like this, but he is bent on death, since he is bent on death, let him die, anyway, the emperor has so many sons, it's a big deal to set up a prince again. ”
As he spoke, he walked to Zhao Shu's side, stretched out his hand, and lifted Zhao Shu off the high stool, "Let's go, aren't you being bullied?" Uncle is angry for you, what is there to see a prince who is looking for death and life when he encounters a little setback? After the death is buried in a thick burial, and then the people will say, behold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the West for their young age, and we must be grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince, but unfortunately, this good reputation is not earned by ourselves, but it doesn't matter, if people die like lights out, they can't care about these posthumous names. ”
"Mr. Huo, please speak politely, my prince's brother is seriously injured and dying, and he is not willing to do it himself!" Zhao Shu looked at Huo Baichuan coldly and said word by word.
Huo Baichuan didn't mind Zhao Shu's attitude, he just smirked, "I'm already very polite, do you want to hear you're welcome?" ”
Zhao Shu didn't look too far, she really didn't dare to listen.
Huo Baichuan saw that she was scared, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Let's go, uncle will give you anger, it doesn't matter if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dead or alive, it's different for your father and mother, what are you anxious about?" His parents are not in a hurry, oh, by the way, his sweetheart still wishes he was dead. ”
Zhao Shu wanted to pull Huo Baichuan out of the side hall and prevent him from saying those ugly words again, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the prince's fingers moving, his eyes rolling, as if he was struggling.
Could it be that the method of agitation is useful?
Huo Baichuan also noticed the prince's reaction, and continued: "Don't leave yet?" Do you think my uncle and I like to stand out for others so much? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't seize it quickly. ”
Zhao Shu glanced at him and said deliberately: "But the prince's brother ......"
"You're not very old, but you're not a little nosy, are you a doctor? Can you handle it? The prince can't support you like this, and he still lets you be bullied, why are you so unkind, and you stick it up, and walk away, and your uncle will give you a head. ”
Zhao Shu was pulled by Huo Baichuan, and turned around three times out of the side hall, and as soon as the two of them came out of the side hall, the prince's eyes opened, and a resolute light burst out in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
