Chapter 544: National Funeral
Cheng Sheng and Min Jia followed their gaze and also saw Qingfeng and Mr. Wu. It's just that Cheng Sheng is still not in the situation, and said to Zhou Shaojin with a smile: "Is there another guest coming?" ā
Zhou Shaojin didn't know what was going on, and smiled vaguely: "Maybe!" ā
Min Jia grew up in the family of the official eunuch, and she was the eldest daughter, who grew up under the knees of her great-grandmother since she was a child, and was cultivated as a clan wife, and immediately saw the difference. Cheng Sheng's initiative today made her grateful, and she couldn't help but feel a little closer to Cheng Sheng. Hearing this, he quietly pulled Cheng Sheng's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Things are a little wrong, let's not play for the time being, let's see the situation." ā
Cheng Sheng's heart was touched, he tiptoed to look over, and saw that the gentleman brought by Qingfeng entered the pavilion, and soon the people in the pavilion stood up, and then Cheng Chi sent Cheng Shao and the gentleman out of the pavilion, and hurried out of the garden all the way.
"Is there something wrong with the second uncle?" She muttered.
Everyone's interest has faded a little.
Only the children were chattering loudly on the boat.
I don't know what happened to the second uncle, but everyone is not happy, and it is not okay to go on like this!
Zhou Shaojin immediately smiled and said, "I'll let people ask, see what happened to the second uncle?" ā
Cheng Zheng nodded hurriedly.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly called Mama Shang over and ordered her to go down.
Mama Shang immediately went to the pavilion and quickly turned back, saying, "It was someone from the palace who said that the Seventh Prince had made the emperor unhappy, and the emperor announced that the second old lady had entered the palace to play chess." ā
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The lake has just regained its bustle.
The people in the pavilion were not as brisk as the women.
Yuan Ming said: "...... How to deal with the affairs of the Seven Princes, even the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not easy to impeach. It can be said that it is a rebellion; To be shallow, it can be said to be greedy for ink. Now the government and the opposition are looking at the emperor's face and making good moves, big brother, you said that the second uncle and ancestor entered the palace to accompany the emperor to play chess, there will be nothing wrong, right? At this time, who knows what the emperor will ask, and if he doesn't answer properly, he may raid his family and wipe out his family! ā
They were originally brothers-in-law, but because the three Cheng Zheng sisters had been close in the past, they talked about brothers according to the ranking between the sisters to show their affection.
Gu Xu smiled when he heard this: "How can there be so many people who have robbed their families and exterminated their clans?" Throughout this dynasty. In addition to the time when Taizong founded the country, he once killed generations of famous families of poetry, books and etiquette. Did the emperor ever attack the Shilin family? ā
Yuan Ming is the son of the Yuan family, the cousin of the Yuan family, and Yuan Weichang has not yet come out of the third suit. My father is also a reading seed, just because of his weak body. After taking the test, he didn't end up again. On learning. It is one of the best in the Yuan family. Yuan Ming had been studying with his father before, and Yuan Weichang's sons were all enlightened by his father. In the Yuan family, he is a talkative person. 's mother was born in Rongcheng Giant, and it was only because of the kindness of the Yuan family that she got married, and there were ten ships in the marriage that year. After marrying into the Yuan family, he only gave birth to Yuan Ming, a son. Coupled with the love of his parents and the intelligence of his young man, Yuan Weichang treated him differently in the Yuan family, and developed his frank and straightforward temperament.
Hearing Gu Xu's answer, he smiled and said, "Not all rules are broken!" At the beginning, Emperor Taizong said that he would never raise taxes, but now, compared to the time when the country was founded, how many times has this tax been returned? I never believed in that anyway. But I think the fourth uncle is so good, he will do business when he wants to do business, and he will do business when he wants to enter the office...... So what I admire the most is Uncle Chi. I want to learn from him too......"
Gu Xu and Peng Zao laughed.
Cheng Xu lowered his head, took a sip of tea slowly, and when he looked up again, his gaze stayed on the lake for a long time.
Everyone here is older than Cheng Rang, Cheng Rang thinks Yuan Ming is funny, but he doesn't dare to laugh like them, so he only grins and pours tea for Gu Xu and the others.
Peng Zao's grandfather and father were both two-list Jinshi, but their family, like Zhou Shaojin's family, only had a little asset before their grandfather. He was able to marry Cheng Sheng entirely because his grandfather and father were both upright gentlemen with good conduct, and he was the best among his peers in terms of appearance and knowledge. Compared with the three aunts of the Cheng family, he has neither Gu Xu's success nor Peng Ming's illustrious family power, he speaks more cautiously, and he doesn't open his mouth lightly, but he will inevitably speak loudly. But this kind of character is not only liked by Cheng Jing, but also appreciated by Cheng Wei and Cheng Chi.
He finished laughing and said, "Isn't the eldest uncle at Grandmother's?" I'll come back and ask my uncle! ā
Yuan Ming smiled and said, "Didn't I call the king because the elders were not there?" ā
Don't talk about Gu Xu now, even Cheng Rang laughed.
Cheng Chi folded back to the sound of their laughter.
Yuan Ming hurriedly said: "Fourth uncle, did the second uncle say anything?" What news is there about the Seven Princes? ā
Cheng Shao was here just now, several people were restrained and didn't dare to talk nonsense, and now there is only one Cheng Chi who is about the same age as them, I didn't know when I didn't have a relationship before, and I didn't talk much since I came to Kyoto, but he treated people kindly, and Yuan Ming naturally didn't have any scruples when he spoke.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "The second uncle was still with us just now, and he definitely doesn't know what we don't know, what can he say!" As for the matter of the Seven Princes, I have been ordered to check the old accounts of the River Governor's Mansion in the Ministry of Works these days, and I really haven't paid attention to it. ā
Yuan Ming became excited when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chi, I heard that Quge's old family even copied more than a thousand catties of pepper, is it true?" ā
Cheng Chi coughed, and was about to send Yuan Ming away, but Cheng Jing's voice sounded in the pavilion: "Your Uncle Chi is an official of the Imperial Procuratorate, and if he says that the court has no official documents, it will be dereliction of duty." You are not small, what to say and what not to say should also be measured. ā
trained Yuan Ming to be a bloody dog.
Yuan Ming blushed and was embarrassed.
Gu Xu and Peng Zao had no choice but to pretend that they hadn't heard.
Cheng Chi interrupted Cheng Jing's words when he looked at it, and said, "Has my mother rested?" The second uncle was called to the palace by the emperor, saying that he was uncomfortable and asked the second uncle to play chess. I don't know if the emperor will talk to the second uncle about the Seventh Prince? ā
Cheng Jing understood what Cheng Chi meant. said: "Don't worry! The second uncle has always acted prudently, Li Ge just asked about the Seven Princes two days ago, and the emperor was vague, presumably because he didn't want to deal with the Seven Princes. What I can know, the second uncle must also know. ā
Cheng Chi smiled and nodded.
Cheng Rang helped Cheng Jing make tea.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Cheng Jing looked a little deflated, and when he saw Cheng Chi drinking tea there with a leisurely expression, thinking of what Mrs. Guo said to him just now, he couldn't help but say: "Zichuan, tell me, what is the emperor going to do about this matter?" ā
The affairs of the court. Who has the ability to take one step and look at three steps. At the very least, you can pay homage to the cabinet.
Cheng Chi is a little strange that Cheng Jing will revolve around this topic, although this is a temple matter, but it is a royal private matter.
He smiled and said, "Isn't everyone waiting to see what the emperor means?" ā
Cheng Jing smiled: "It's just talking about it in private!" ā
When did Big Brother become so frivolous?
Others can talk about it in private, but he is an elder. What is said in private can also be misinterpreted.
Cheng Chi originally wanted to say a few words to prevaricate the past. I thought of Cheng Jing's strangeness. Thinking of the fact that my mother had called my eldest brother over for a long time just now, I suddenly laughed in my heart.
I don't know what the eldest brother is angry with his mother, so he has to find a place to vent his anger.
But he's not the second brother. Friendly and filial, he has endured the Yuan family for a long time...... He simply said, "I don't know what you're watching. The emperor didn't want to deal with the seven princes at first glance. But the emperor is also a rare famous monarch, and if he does not dispose of the seven princes, it will only make ethics collapse, and anyone can ignore the imperial power in the future. The emperor is dragging it now, just to leave the life of the Seventh Prince, and also to test the crown prince. I think the most upset thing now should be the crown prince, he wrote to request the disposal of the seven princes, I am afraid that the emperor will think that he has no brotherhood, and he will not write to deal with the seven princes, I am afraid that the emperor will think that he has no ability to be a prince, even if he does not listen to it like this, in the end the emperor will think that he is cunning......"
Cheng Chi can see it, Cheng Jing can naturally see it, Cheng Jing asked Cheng Chi, but he didn't know if Cheng Chi could see it.
Cheng Jing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "If only you had participated in the selection of the Jishi!" ā
Cheng Chi said disapprerovingly: "Everything is knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is an article." I don't think there's anything wrong with me doing that. ā
The two were talking, but Gu Xu next to him was already looking at Cheng Chi with blazing eyes, and suddenly said, "Uncle Chi, what good ideas do you have about the crown prince?" ā
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xu's body.
Gu Xu looked at Cheng Chi without dodging.
Only then did everyone remember that Gu Xu was a subordinate of the East Palace.
Cheng Chi originally wanted to talk to Gu Xu and pull Gu Xu to his boat, he had this question, and Cheng Chi would not hide it.
"I think the crown prince should write to the emperor at this time, first, to recall his brotherhood with the Seventh Prince, and secondly, to denounce what the Seventh Prince has done - as a brother, he feels sorry for the mistakes made by the Seventh Prince; As a prince, he couldn't bend the law with favoritism, and in the end, Emperor Jian yƬ demoted the Seven Princes to commoners or something, just leave him alive. ā
Gu Xu's eyes brightened when he listened, and he said, "Uncle Chi and I want to go together." It's just that I don't know if this fold is on or not, and the emperor is a little bad these days. ā
"Let's go up!" Cheng Chi felt that if the crown prince died because of this incident, maybe the fourth prince would deal with the eldest grandson of the emperor, and in this way, the water would definitely be muddy, and he just fished in troubled waters.
Gu Xu nodded contemplatively.
Yuan Ming cast an admiring glance at Cheng Chi.
But everyone was also very worried, and they barely supported it until they dispersed after dinner.
The next day, the emperor did not go to the early court, and Cheng Shao did not leave the palace.
Gu Xu sent his henchmen to tell Cheng Chi that the crown prince and the imperial grandson of the East Palace also entered the palace early yesterday morning and have not returned yet.
Cheng Chi's face became solemn.
In the afternoon, a mourning bell came out of the palace.
The crown prince fell ill in Cining Palace.
The emperor did not have a ministry of ceremonies, and ordered the funeral of the crown prince to be buried with the rites of the Son of Heaven.
