Chapter 225: There is a door
As soon as Princess Lichuan arrived in the capital, she didn't care about returning to the mansion, so she asked the nurses to take the children to the mansion, and the husband and wife hurried into the palace. The palace was heavily guarded, and when she saw that it was Princess Lichuan who let her go, Princess Lichuan came directly to Zhong Cui Palace.
When she arrived at Zhongcui Palace, the graceful and luxurious imperial concubine had already received the news and walked out of the palace gate, along with a person familiar to Princess Lichuan, Liu Yan, the king of Jin.
Princess Lichuan and the concubine were about to salute, and the imperial concubine said, "Son, don't salute quickly, now that time is pressing, we must discuss it carefully." ”
Princess Lichuan was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Mother, how is my father?" ”
The imperial concubine smiled gracefully and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it when we come to the house." ”
Princess Lichuan also knew that this was not the place to speak, so she hurriedly followed the imperial concubine and King Jin into the imperial concubine's flower hall, which was quiet, the palace maids and eunuchs had been sent out, and the palace maid Yu'er was guarding outside.
The imperial concubine sat down and said to her daughter, "Lichuan, don't worry, your father has woken up." The imperial doctor has already said that your father will be in a coma because of his anger, after all, he is not young to be in a coma for so long. It's okay now, just? ”
Hearing that her father had woken up, Princess Lichuan's hanging heart finally let go, after all, the father and daughter are connected, the emperor loves her, and she has been close to the emperor since childhood, and the father-daughter relationship is deep. However, her mother's sentence just made Princess Lichuan's heart hang again. Princess Lichuan hurriedly asked, "Just what?" What happened to my father? ”
The imperial concubine said: "After the emperor woke up, he was very weak, but even so, he still struggled to meet several ministers and Zongren orders in the court and arranged it. Let the King of Jin supervise the country, preside over the affairs of the previous dynasty, assisted by several ministers, and the affairs of the royal family will be temporarily handed over to the Zongren Order, and the affairs of the harem will still be in charge of me. King Qi was imprisoned and his title was removed. Abolished as a concubine. ”
Princess Lichuan listened. There is joy and sorrow in my heart, and I am happy that my fourth brother King Jin, who has been supporting him, is finally expected to become the crown prince. has been arranged by his father to supervise the country, and the efforts of himself and his husband's family, his mother and the Chen family have finally not been in vain. Sadly. The third younger brother, King Qi, did not make a big mistake, so he was implicated by his biological mother. was deposed of his title and became a concubine. However, Princess Lichuan and King Qi have never been very close, after listening. The sadness was only for a moment, and then a question came to mind and said: "The father seems to be very angry with Concubine Wan?" Before the eldest brother and the former crown prince rebelled, his father only abolished his crown prince. Imprisoned, and not abolished? Although the third brother is a bit absurd. Selling official beards, but there is no big crime of rebellion? ”
There is another sentence that Princess Lichuan did not say. Although the crime of selling officials and lords is big, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, which official has not walked through the back door, which official has not been bribed, which minister in power has not done this matter of selling officials? This is not a big deal at all, how can it be compared to the heinous crime of rebellion?
The only explanation is that the emperor hated his son King Qi because his beloved woman was killed by Wan Guifei.
The imperial concubine sighed and said: "We people are not as important as the Ying family in your father's heart, let alone our own son, it is our own life, this country, your father and emperor don't want it anymore, just thinking about the demonic Ying family." ”
Princess Lichuan didn't speak, and the mother could say that, but they, as children, couldn't say their father's fault. Princess Lichuan glanced at Liu Yan, the king of Jin, Liu Yan heard the words of the imperial concubine, but she was stunned, and her eyes became dazed. Princess Lichuan looked at this handsome and unusually handsome younger brother, and couldn't help but think, it seems that Liu Yan remembered her biological mother, although she no longer remembers the appearance of Liu Yan's biological mother, but looking at Liu Yan's beauty, his biological mother must also be a peerless beauty, but she is from a lower background and is the daughter of a florist. In the end, it also ended dimly in this harem. Liu Yan lost his biological mother since he was a child, and he couldn't get the favor of his father. The father just likes the three princes, King Qi, and even the crown prince has to step aside. Who would have thought that Liu Yan's third brother, who had been fighting for more than ten years, actually lost the favor of his father overnight, and he didn't even keep his title and became a concubine. This is really as the mother said, what the father cares about most is probably really the beautiful Ying.
The imperial concubine said to Princess Lichuan: "After the emperor finished his order, he began to recuperate, and no one saw him, and he locked himself in the palace of nourishing his heart, and he didn't even go in the palace of government affairs." Also, the eunuch next to your father told me that he was not very willing to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, let alone eat normally, and saw that his body was declining day by day. We're all helpless. I just thought, your father loves you the most, and you just came back, you go to see your father and see if you can persuade your father. ”
Princess Lichuan didn't expect her father to be so affectionate, she didn't even care about the major affairs of the court and politics, and even her own body, no wonder her mother just said that the country and her life are not as good as the winning family.
Princess Lichuan's brows furrowed and said, "Then without further ado, how about I go to see my father?" ”
The imperial concubine looked at her daughter who had become haggard because she was in a hurry, and she was very distressed, and she originally wanted to let her daughter rest before going, but when she saw her daughter's anxious eyes, she said: "Okay, by the way, I'll tell you a few things, you can think about it later, and see if you can persuade your father." ”
Princess Lichuan was busy looking at her mother, but at this time, Liu Yan, the king of Jin, said: "I have also discussed with the imperial concubine Niangniang before, using a matter in the inner palace and a matter in the court to see if I can cheer up my father." The matter of the imperial court is that our Northwest Army has recently fought with the remnants of the barbarians in the northwest and defeated the barbarians, and the barbarians have migrated to the northwest again, and now there are not many barbarians left on the steppe, only some nomads who used to live under the oppression of the barbarians. Some of these ethnic groups have submitted to the imperial court, and some are still resisting, and they are about to ask their father whether to collect their troops and return to the tide, or continue to fight these rebellious nomads? ”
Princess Lichuan Yixi said: "Whether we collect troops or not, we are a big victory." These sons, the father emperor is famous in history, and the barbarians who have plagued our Central Plains for nearly a thousand years have finally been defeated in the hands of the father emperor. That's a great thing. ”
The imperial concubine nodded and said, "There is also a happy event in the harem. Shi Guiren had just been discovered and was pregnant. ”
This is a great thing, the emperor has a son in his old age, which is a great joy. Moreover, although the emperor has many concubines and is older, there are not many heirs. The crown prince was imprisoned, the king of Qi was deposed, and only the king of Zhou, the king of Jin, and the five princes remained. If there is another prince, it won't be much. Even if it's not a prince, it's good to be a princess. Under the knees of my father, there is only one princess left.
Princess Lichuan said: "These two things are great joys, and I will consider it to see how to mention these two things appropriately." Actually, I also have a little good news to say. Originally, our Shanghai city was affected by the turmoil of the Japanese people, Goguryeo, and Silla, and the trade declined, but because Munhui-gun mainly went to Nanyang to develop new cities, we made a lot of money by selling the routes in advance. Now this work is still ongoing, I believe that under the auspices of Wen Hui's sister, she will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Whether the father wants to continue the war or wants to carry out reforms in the Central Plains, he can have the support of money. ”
King Jin was very happy when he heard this. Although he is not the crown prince now, as soon as King Qi is deposed, he has no competitors. King Zhou has always had no talent, his father is very disliked, and the fifth brother is still young, and he has never even been crowned king. It was the Shi Gui in the harem who gave birth to a prince, and he had no ability to compete. The world is his, after all. Since it is his, it is naturally more prosperous and powerful, the better. Thinking of this, Liu Yan's heart couldn't help but think of the Qianying who had not been separated for a long time. Who would have thought that in less than a month apart, they have all made progress. Chen Wenhui has not yet arrived in Nanyang, and has already begun to drive the income of Shanghai City. And what about him, he will definitely become the emperor of Great Chu in the future.
King Jin was still thinking about it here, and the imperial concubine said happily: "Good boy, this is also great news, well, you go to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to see your father." As long as he is willing to see you, with these three pieces of news, he will definitely be able to cheer up your father. ”
Princess Lichuan nodded. I couldn't take a break, so I was surrounded by the imperial concubine, the king of Jin, and the concubine to go to the Yangxin Palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the Yangxin Palace, the big eunuch came to Qing to greet him, and Huang Chun's father-in-law was also there, and he also greeted him, and Laiqing said: "Oh, the slave has seen the princess, the princess, you are finally here, and the slave is looking forward to it so hard." Please stay with the princess, I will go and report to the emperor, the emperor loves the princess so much, he will definitely see the princess. ”
Princess Lichuan nodded and said, "There is a father-in-law, please have a lot of kind words, you must think of a son, let my father see me." ”
Lai Qing hurriedly agreed, and ran over to report it. The imperial concubine, the king of Jin, and the concubine all accompanied Princess Lichuan anxiously waiting. Time has passed for a long time, and after a long time, Lai Qing Gonggong has not returned. These people couldn't help but get anxious. Even Huang Chun, who has always been calm, became anxious, and after thinking for a while, Huang Chun said: "Maybe the emperor still doesn't want to see the princess." Laiqing must be persuading the emperor. Why don't I also go on a trip and see if I can persuade the emperor to see the princess. ”
Princess Lichuan hurriedly said: "What Father-in-law Chun said is very true, please ask Father-in-law Chun to go on a trip in person." ”
Huang Chun hurriedly bowed and retreated, and quickly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace. After a while, the door of the Yangxin Palace opened, Princess Lichuan, the imperial concubine and others eagerly looked at the father-in-law who came out of Laiqing, only to see the smile on Laiqing's face, these people all thought that there was a door.
