Chapter 141: An Unsuccessful Journey to Find Fang
According to the six princes, everything was fine, from the arrival in Lianpingzhou until the sacrifice was completed, nothing went wrong.
After the sacrifice, try to minimize the disturbance of the place, and go to your own imperial village to celebrate the New Year, which is also planned in advance.
But when he was walking halfway down, a favorite concubine who followed the Six Princes suddenly proposed that it would be better to go south.
This favorite concubine was originally born in Qinglou, although she was an unbudding Qingqi person when she was given to the six princes, she has also seen a lot.
She described all kinds of prosperous scenes, and it is said that in the land south of the Yangtze River, every festival such as the New Year's Pass and Shangyuan, there will be flower boats fighting on the riverside. All kinds of Oiran do their best, silk and bamboo singing and dancing are endless, and famous talents haunt it, which is interesting, and it is impossible to know if you are not there in person.
The sixth prince is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is the time to love to play, so he is inevitably a little excited.
The pet concubine gave him an idea again, saying that there had always been a royal child in the fish suit and the white dragon privately visited the people, so he secretly changed his clothes and left. Even if you go back and expose it, it should be okay to have a love affair with the emperor and talk about some interesting folk stories.
The six princes have always been deeply loved by the emperor, and they feel that the favorite concubine has some truth, and the two big eunuchs around him probably also want to follow to see the world, but they are not very obstructive, so they will go with the flow.
Of course, there are those who oppose it, but since the upper authorities have made up their minds, no one wants to do something like death.
So, the group worked in unison...... Sneak out to play.
Not long after leaving, the four princes threw some of them down again. Let them find a place to live and stay.
The opinion of the four princes - of course, the favored concubine also strongly agrees with him, if he has a large number of people in front and back, how can it be considered a private visit? And the goal is too big, it's easy to be spotted, please go back, how can you have a good time?
It's just that the guards won't stay anyway, so they have to follow.
Are you kidding? Sir, you have fun and trouble, safety is the most important, but it is absolutely sloppy.
It doesn't matter if you die on your own. It's not our father's hot mother's. But we have to accompany the questioning, most of them are capital crimes, and that won't work.
In the end, the six princes, accompanied by dozens of guards and several favorite concubines, embarked on a private visit to eat, drink and have fun. Pretending to be a scholar from a wealthy merchant. Rich and free. I tasted the taste of celebrities and gentlemen.
The guards were dressed as bodyguards and long-term followers - there were too many bodyguards, and almost all of them were left behind anyway, just in time to pass a little later.
There really wasn't any safety issues along the way.
On the fragrant and glamorous flower boat in the south of the Yangtze River. The Six Princes also won the Oiran as they wished.
The so-called winning the Oiran does not mean that the Oiran belongs to you, but it is just a nice name, and you can sit opposite the Oiran and listen to the music.
If you want to comb it up, you have to give another piece of silver.
The bustard came out again to do a good job, and wanted the six princes to comb the silver, saying that as long as the silver was sufficient, he could "beat the golden branch".
What is the trick of "hitting the golden branch"? The six princes were naturally curious.
Originally, the so-called beating of the golden branch was to prepare nine strands of thin vines when the guests combed the oiran, that is, the "golden branch", which could be beaten for some reason.
Before the crowd was still pampered with the high Oiran lady, as long as the silver was enough, it could become a plaything that was tactful and coquettish under him.
Probably only here can there be such a means of serving guests.
The original two-point movement of the six princes became ten points for the bustard.
At this point, his favorite concubine suddenly stopped doing it and ate flying vinegar. He also brought out a lot of grandiose truths to advise, but the prince is noble, and he can't accept such a lewd woman at will.
As a result, in a few words, somehow, the pet and the Oiran actually faced each other, and actually staged a drama of two women fighting for celebrities, and finally fell into the river under the entanglement. Since then, the soul has been slim, and neither of them has been able to find it.
Later, several versions evolved, some say that the two daughters drowned, and when the soul is not gone, there are apparitions; It is also said that one or even two of them went down the river and were rescued by someone, and some rhymes occurred.
This incident is so big that it is estimated that it will become a local story in a few years.
The sixth prince was certainly surprised, but there were a lot of beautiful concubines around him, and he was two points annoyed that the favored concubine was ignorant and made such a situation, so it was not sad.
After another two days, I gradually realized that something was wrong.
Micro-service private visits, micro-service travel is just a formality, and private visits to the people are the original intention. But if you make it like this, you can't believe that you are "privately petitioning the people" no matter what.
It's almost the same as saying that it's a private visit to Oiran.
What followed was the news of the murder of the third prince and the death of the crown prince.
The Sixth Prince was almost stunned. Counting the days, when the third brother was killed, it was the time when he lingered in the flower boat. Thinking about it more, the third brother died under the women's struggle, but fortunately, the pet concubine and the Oiran were just fighting with each other before, and they did not take the blame on themselves. But if he continues to mess around, he may follow in the footsteps of the third brother.
It's better to pack up quickly and go north to Beijing.
So, I met the four princes here.
When the sixth prince told the story, he naturally skipped many details, he only thought that he was pitted by the favored concubine, but since the favored concubine had fallen into the water without a trace, it was just that.
The fourth prince heard it, but felt that things were not so simple.
He felt that the opponent in the dark was very powerful.
In just two months, the princes have had frequent accidents.
The third prince seems to have died on his own, abusing the pipa girl to make her resist. In general, it seems that it was an accident.
The Four Princes directed and staged the assassination operation themselves, and it was used to turn it into a real assassination. If the assassination is successful, one person will be removed, and the blame can be attributed to the mistake of the operation he planned. If the assassination fails, the four princes will also worry that even their own fake assassination will be found out, so they can only swallow their anger and make the big thing small.
If the princes were killed one after another, it would be too coincidental and eye-catching.
So the eldest prince, the crown prince, was overly sad and had a heart attack - this is the death of an illness.
And for the Six Princes, it is not even necessary to kill them - just ruin his reputation.
an irresponsible prince who travels at will regardless of his identity; A prince who spends his days drinking and lingering in the land of fireworks; A prince who is not cultivated in the inner palace is so much that the concubine competes with the Oiran......
Since the sixth prince can't even control himself, and he can't even manage the concubines around him, can he be expected to govern a country in the future?
In this way, each of them is broken, and eventually the throne will fall to someone who is planning these things.
The fourth prince frowned, and couldn't figure out which of his brothers was the person behind him. (To be continued......)
