Chapter 649: Birthday Banquet
The prince will be reading in the study, and now there is only one concubine in the prince's mansion, and the prince is reading in the study except for staying in the He family's house.
In fact, to be honest, the prince is a relatively honest and obedient prince, he did not drink for fun, nor did he give up on himself, but stayed honestly.
At this point, the prince is still very satisfied with Old Man Xu, but I am afraid that the prince will not be successful, incapable and untalented, and has a stinky temper, which is really popular?
The prince didn't raise his head, took the tea handed by the eunuch, took a sip, and continued to lower his head to read. Old Man Xu smiled with satisfaction, knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The prince was very familiar with Xu Ge Lao's voice, and his face immediately showed joy, but he immediately instructed the eunuchs on the side quietly: "You go down, leave the study to the prince to guard, the prince will want to read the book well, and he doesn't want anyone to disturb him." ”
So that night, the prince stayed in the study until the second half of the night and did not return to the backyard. And although the He family is a little confused, there is only one concubine in the house, and the other rooms are also pressed to death.
The prince may be really in a bad mood, so he reads in the study alone! That's it, as long as the position of the crown princess is stable, the prince can sleep wherever he likes, anyway, no one in this East Palace can go beyond him. After He asked the palace maid to wait for the freshening up, he no longer waited for the prince and rested directly.
And this night decided the future life and death of the prince, and no one knew what the prince was doing in the study, only that the prince left a new old eunuch to speak in the middle of the night.
Before dawn the next day, as soon as the palace door opened, Old Man Xu secretly left the palace. And Old Man Xu's beard, which has always been a treasure, was cut off because he wanted to enter the palace to see the prince.
Old Man Xu touched his smooth chin, although he felt a little pity, but when he thought of the future scenery of Xu's Mansion, he felt that no matter what he was, it was worth it.
Liu Yue also received a secret letter from the spies of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Prime Minister Xie colluded with Old Man Xu, but what did these two people do in collusion? These two people are obviously two opposing forces, why did they suddenly get closer.
Liu Yue felt that there must be something wrong here, and it was definitely not as simple as it looked from the outside. Although she didn't know what conspiracy there was between them, Liu Yue felt that the capital would not be peaceful for long, but she didn't know if it would affect the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
However, no matter what the shape of the outside is, even those guards of the Dingbei Hou Mansion can also protect the safety of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
Liu Yue was suddenly a little worried, would something happen? Do you want to let your mother-in-law and children leave the capital temporarily? Wouldn't that be safer?
The last time the two children happened, Liu Yue felt exhausted. No, Liu Yue felt that she should discuss with her mother-in-law to see if the Dingbei Hou Mansion was staying in the capital, or whether she should go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to avoid it first.
According to Liu Yue's understanding of the Xu family, is it strange that the Xu family will really stop? The Xu family has a big heart, and there is a big backer like the prince, but it is really a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen! And the next visit of the Lin family also made Liu Yue clearly realize that the Xu family was really unwilling.
It turned out that Old Man Xu thought that he was holding a birthday banquet in the name of inviting all the relatives and friends of the Xu family to the banquet. And Wu Fu is the in-law of the Xu family, so he is naturally among them. After Sister Lin came back from the house, she came to Dingbeihou Mansion overnight.
Liu Yue knew that Sister Lin was fine, and she would not go to the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night. Naturally, there was something urgent, so he immediately changed his clothes and directly asked people to lead Sister Lin to the inner room. This is the place where Liu Yue reads the accounts and rests on weekdays, and if she is not a close person, she will not enter the inner room.
Sister Lin's eyes were solemn, and she drank all the tea brought by the maid in one go, and Liu Yue sat quietly on the side. No matter how important things are, we have to wait until Sister Lin relaxes her breath.
After Liu Yue ordered the maids to serve refreshments, they retreated directly, and the four maids of her henchmen carefully guarded the door. Lin Shi drank tea, and after a long sigh of relief, he finally spoke: "Yue'er, I'm afraid the capital is going to be chaotic!" ”
Liu Yue had actually guessed that it would definitely not be a good thing for Prime Minister Xie to collude with Old Man Xu. And it is obvious that Prime Minister Xie Cheng is a rebel prince. It was clear that the two men wanted to make a move. "Where did my sister hear about it?"
Lin Shi looked embarrassed, "It's not the birthday banquet of Old Man Xu, I said that the Xu family was so low-key before, and the banquet in the capital was also to pick up some important things."
This time, Old Man Xu is not a whole birthday, and after being dismissed by the emperor, why did he hold this birthday banquet? But I didn't expect that the Xu family would have such a mind. Old Man Xu ostensibly held a birthday banquet, but in fact, he asked the subordinates of the Xu family, as well as relatives, friends and in-laws to stand in line.
Now I fully support the crown prince, it seems that there is still the intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate. And Prime Minister Xie Cheng, who sat with Mr. Xu today, made everyone think about it. I'm afraid that these two people want to rebel, so they will directly cross the emperor and make the crown prince the new emperor!
Your brother-in-law is worried? Although the crown prince is the only son of the emperor, he will be the emperor sooner or later. But the emperor is fine, how can the crown prince ascend the throne directly? Such a big rebellious thing can only be thought of by the Xu family. ”
Liu Yue understood everything, and it seemed that her feelings were right, starting from the collusion between Old Man Xu and Prime Minister Xie Cheng. Presumably, these two people have made this plan, and they just want to set up a new emperor!
It seems that I must send my mother-in-law and children out of the capital immediately, this is a place where things are wrong, I don't know what chaos will happen at that time? "What does my sister want to do?"
Lin sighed, his eyes drifting away: "What can I do now, let's take one step at a time!" But your brother-in-law doesn't want to help force the emperor to abdicate, and I don't know that Old Man Xu will force your brother-in-law like this? ”
"It's a pity that the prince is not in the capital, and he can't rush back, it seems that this time it will be successful. But that's fine, sooner or later the crown prince will become the emperor. Could it be true that the prince of Nangong came to be the imperial businessman, presumably the Xu family saw this.
I wanted to help the prince ascend the throne urgently, but I was afraid that something would happen at that time. It is better to take advantage of the capital at this time under his control and directly let Zaizi succeed to the throne.
Sister might as well persuade brother-in-law, it's best not to express your position, if you're in a hurry, let's take advantage of the trend! Liu Yue can only persuade Sister Lin like this, it is impossible to let Lord Wu die, when the time comes, it will really annoy Old Man Xu, the Xu family is so careful, after the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely treat Brother-in-law Wu poorly.
Lin nodded: "Now it can only be like this, it's just your brother-in-law's temper, I don't know if it makes sense!" ”
Liu Yuewan'er smiled: "Sister, don't worry, brother-in-law is not such a pedantic person, in this situation, it is more important to save your life, not to mention the Xu family and the Xie family, this momentum can go to more than half of the officials in the court, not more than one brother-in-law, less than one brother-in-law."
I was still thinking about sending my mother-in-law and children to Zhuangzi outside Beijing, and now it seems that I need to act immediately. ”
The Lin family felt that it was safest to send people out of the capital, but whether the changes in the capital would affect the Dingbei Hou Mansion, people were safe if they were not in the capital. "Also, you send your two children and Mrs. Hou out of the capital, so that it can be safer. It's just Yue'er, what about yourself? ”
"Naturally, I want to stay in the capital, and the entire Dingbei Hou Mansion can't be left alone, and if there is any movement in the capital, I can also send news to my mother-in-law in a hurry.
Sister don't have to worry, I stay in the capital alone, so I don't have to be afraid of them. Besides, the Dingbei Hou Mansion nominally supported the prince, and the prince would not be stupid enough to move the Beihou Mansion at this time, and the war of the Xiongnu still needs the Mo family! ”
Lin nodded, "Now it's only like this, if you have any trouble, just come to the Wu Mansion to find me." But don't resist alone, when the prince comes back, you have to blame my sister for not taking care of you? ”
Liu Yue smiled contentedly, mentioning Mo Li as if she would always feel very happy and satisfied. "It's good for the prince to be in northern Xinjiang, but I'm afraid this war can be solved in a short time."
In this way, Mrs. Hou took her two grandsons and got into the carriage that went to the city to serve Zhuangzi, accompanied by most of the guards of the Mo family, all of whom were carefully trained by the Mo family. Using them to protect her mother-in-law and children, Liu Yue was very relieved.
Although the mother-in-law was a little reluctant, she still left the capital for the sake of her two children. It's good to leave, so that you can do your own thing with peace of mind. Don't worry about your children's safety!
Xie Cheng is very angry, how can he come back! There are people who participate in themselves, and they have to cure themselves for the crime of deceiving the king. And the evidence of the crime is true, and he married into the royal family as a concubine. To say this is a ridiculous crime.
It's not that the emperor doesn't want to take care of it, but now Xie Ruoyu has already asked for the guilt and is locked in the cell of Dali Temple. If you move Prime Minister Xie at this time, it doesn't seem to be harmful to yourself, even if you can't treat Prime Minister Xie Cheng, the punishment that should be there is indispensable.
So Prime Minister Xie was fined by the emperor for three months, and fined him for three years. Such a punishment is considered light, but it is indeed not a good time for Prime Minister Xie Cheng, who is about to rebel against the Xu family.
Prime Minister Xie didn't expect that Xie Ruoyu would come to this point, and he would use his own army to calculate Xie Fu in such a way.
This cheap girl is really a slut. I'd rather admit that I'm a son of Ji than take the reputation of Xie Fu. But Madame seems to be so stupid that she can't hold her breath and can say such nonsense in her cell.
Prime Minister Xie retreated with a cold face, then went back to Xie's mansion directly, and then entered Mrs. Xie's courtyard. And all the subordinates in the house let Prime Minister Xie Cheng go, and then Xie Fu's begging for mercy was heard in the house, and the maids in the yard were used to it.
Usually when the prime minister returns home with a black face and goes directly into his wife's courtyard, he will definitely beat his wife. If you want to say that the old man is the prime minister, why do you like to be rough like this?
Mrs. is also pitiful, saying that she is the prime minister's wife, but she often makes the prime minister's nose and face swollen, and it is pitiful when you think about it. Presumably, this time the lady will have to lie in the house for half a month! R1152
