Chapter 208
"The Wing King is so shrewd at a young age, he really doesn't look like a daughter's family." Xu Mian has a new understanding of the Wing King, "No wonder he can sit firmly in the Ministry of Engineering and hold power." "If you don't have the ability to rely on the emperor's support alone, how can you still have a place.
"The Wing King is a pitiful, and the third prince is much happier in comparison." Imperial Physician Xu was full of emotion, and paid a lot of attention to those two dazzling highnesses.
"What's going on?" Xu Mian suddenly felt that something was wrong at first glance, how could his father get involved with the three princes, and what was the inseparable relationship between the two, "What is the reason why the three princes and the Wing King are close apart from the bloodline?" ”
Imperial Physician Xu looked at his son in surprise, "Didn't the Wing King sue you all, shouldn't you, even if you don't say anything, you can roughly guess one or two, how can you ask such a simple question?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Mian twisted his eyebrows and recalled what had happened before, and muttered, "The Wing King only compared his appearance with that of the Third Prince, and I found out that something was wrong from it, could it be that there is ...... in this?" and so on, he thought of a possibility.
Don't wait for his son to guess that Imperial Doctor Xu sighed, "The two of them are close, so they are close, you can ignore this." ”
His father's words proved his guess, and Xu Mian was speechless for a while, "Which play is this, why is one in the palace and the other outside the palace." "Unreasonable, huh?
"The Winged King's mother is real." Imperial Physician Xu explained, "The age difference between the two is one year. ”
"It turned out to be a tanuki ......" Xu Mian immediately stopped talking, even at home, he needed to be extremely cautious about unspeakable matters, and he made up for the unfinished words in his heart, and the tanuki changed the prince. It shouldn't be that the optimistic one was replaced, the situation of the fetus in Concubine Qi's womb was operated by her father at that time, and it was no wonder that there was no greasy in it. It's a mess of good upset.
"I wonder why the Wing King is close to the Third Prince instead of the Great Prince, the crux of the problem is this." All the puzzles were completely solved, and Xu Mian couldn't help but secretly say that it was really hard, and the nine curves were very strange.
"Be careful not to show the stuffing in the future." Imperial Physician Xu didn't worry about two sentences.
"Then what is my attitude when I see the third prince?" Xu Mian really couldn't help but worry.
"There is no need to change what happened before, just let it be." Imperial Physician Xu said again, "The third prince will be the king in the future, don't test the patience of the three princes with your set in front of the Wing King." "I knew my son's slightly presumptuous behavior in front of the Wing King. At the time, I didn't say that it was because the winged king had a generous personality, and he was eclectic in small things, and the number of etiquette was even more saving, and his son's failure to do anything out of the ordinary did not affect his friendship.
"I understand that a companion is like a tiger." Xu Mian really wanted to tell his father. The Wing King is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it should not be too presumptuous and lose its duty.
"If it weren't for the Wing King being a daughter, he would never be inferior to a man with his means." Although he has never had close contact with the three princes, Xu Mian is more optimistic about the Wing King.
"Just say this before me. Remember the warning that woe comes from the mouth. Imperial Physician Xu did not reprimand his son for his false words.
"I know I'll be cautious." Xu Mian is no longer entangled. It's okay to do whatever it wants, and it's no big deal to live like that.
The Great Prince's Mansion, the emperor and grandson who should have been born died young, and Xiao Yuan's family had difficulty giving birth to a corpse and two lives, which should have been a very common thing, and women have to go through the test of life and death when they give birth to children, and some large numbers of stable women together cannot solve the problem, resulting in a tragic ending in the end.
However, Xiao Yuan's death was not simple, it involved another bloody storm of the women in the backyard, and the eldest prince Mu Zhao put all his attention on the court to fight for the crown. How could he have time to take care of the unborn child, and when he heard the bad news, he only frowned and ordered the body to be disposed of. In his eyes, she is just a concubine, a thing dies when it dies, but there are dispensable things, once he sits in the position of the crown prince, he can have any kind of woman or any kind of child.
In a series of styles in the backyard, Mu Zhao learned a lesson this time, the Yuan family and the Xiao Yuan family are the best examples, especially the Yuan family has no brains and is used to dragging himself back and has nothing to do, and the backyard can not be in the business trip pool, in order to prevent distraction, he has made a lot of money.
Under the pretext of Xiao Yuan's death, the back house was reorganized, so that the women in the backyard could no longer afford to rise in the wind and waves, Mu Zhao's means were just one word, and if she was afraid, she would naturally learn to be obedient, regardless of whether she was wrong or not, each person had twenty boards, and the skin and flesh were broken back to recuperate, how could there be spare time to be jealous and ruthless.
In the meantime, Ouyang Yun is not exempt from vulgarity, who dares to disobey the order of the eldest prince, and such stupid practices as crying, making trouble, and hanging can only die faster.
Ouyang Yun gritted his teeth and carried two boards and fainted, the execution stopped and called the doctor, in order to prevent accidents, the doctor waited in advance, saying that he had already left his hands on the boards, and it would not really kill people, it was just a external injury.
Ouyang Yun didn't know if she was scared or something else, she fainted and was diagnosed by the doctor and had a happy pulse for a month, but now she was frightened and showed signs of slippery tires. If you want to say that your fate escaped a catastrophe and had the child of your dreams, it is true, even though the fetal protection medicine was used just one night, the child still could not be saved.
Mu Zhao's attitude towards this was a little better, and he comforted Ouyang Yun for a few words, there was no extra concern, in his opinion, the throne and women could not be compared at all, if it weren't for the fact that Ouyang Yun was the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would have dealt with it like Xiao Yuan's family.
Ouyang Yun cried to death because of this, and never saw Mu Zhao step into his room door half a step again, and only through the persuasion of her grandmother did she ease her mood and recuperate.
Mu Zhao and Mu Jinming in the court are fighting-for-tat, often Mu Jinming, who is lonely and has no support, is defeated, and the courtiers are armed with guns and sticks to hide against the three princes.
After fighting for several months, Mu Jinming still failed to completely defeat Mu Jinming, Mu Zhao's faction felt very irritable, because the emperor still didn't spit out and couldn't really click the three princes, many people began to worry.
However, Mu Haoyu's body was seriously ill and uncomfortable at the beginning of the dress to the point of being really bedridden, which lasted for three months, and the grass and warbler flew back to the atmosphere of birds and flowers again, and it became very different.
The emperor's illness was not deliberately concealed, and all the qiē controls were within the appropriate range. It made the courtiers feel that this was a normal process, but their concerns were slightly focused.
The emperor's condition is out of control, and the busiest person is all the doctors in the entire hospital. The qualified old ones were first summoned to enter the Longhua Hall for consultation, and then wave after wave of imperial doctors took turns to go through the motions, and the capable imperial doctors saw the clues but did not dare to speak, only to stuff the results into the stomach and rot.
Even though Mu Jinming had a bottom in his heart, he didn't expect that things would come so suddenly, and his father's body no longer had the strength to support it.
One night after half a month of procrastination, Mu Jinming was called to the front. Mu Haoyu learned that there was no life, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to open his eyes when he closed them, and the explanation was indispensable.
"Father." Mu Jinming knelt in front of the bed with red eyes, and his heart was sour and full. Tears rolled in his eyes.
"Listen." Mu Haoyu now has the strength to speak, and slowly opened his mouth to ask, "My father can't wait for the day you ascend the throne, and I am ashamed of you and Chao'er." Failing to do the duty of a father. Mu Guo will be shouldered by you in the future. ”
Mu Jinming listened carefully, and couldn't bear to interrupt loudly, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth and cried, he would disappoint his father, he wanted to be a man who stood up to the sky, and he shouldn't go into trouble for this.
"Take care of yourself and Chao'er, the most reassuring thing for my father is Chao'er." Mu Haoyu is ashamed of his little daughter, and the joy that his little daughter should enjoy has never appeared. At a young age, he had no choice but to choose the most powerful help for his youngest son, and he should not let his little daughter, who was only fourteen years old, face the jackals, tigers and leopards in the court.
"You have to support each other and walk side by side." Mu Haoyu's faint voice showed endless anticipation. "The same root and the same blood are connected, they are both each other and an inseparable rest, one is glorious and one is lost, I believe that there is no deception and no malice to each other." He is warning his youngest son not to be confused by foreign objects, confused by outsiders, and stir up trouble to cause a gap between the two children, Xi Chao has the ability not to lose to the younger son, and the two of them can only overcome the difficulties and obstacles they are about to encounter when they are together, so that they can protect each other and sit firmly in the country.
"Father, I understand, Xi'er is my sister, I will protect her, love her, and hold up a piece of heaven for her." Mu Jinming responded solemnly, and swore in front of his father's bed that he would never betray him, they only had each other, only each other.
got the promise of his youngest son, Mu Haoyu's hanging heart was able to let go, and only two things were put in his heart and became the pain that he could not recover in this life.
"The court's courtesy, who will be the person who will accompany you for a lifetime in the future." Mu Haoyu's eyes opened when he thought of this, and his deep voice carried unparalleled sadness.
"Chao'er is the king of wings, the prince of Mu Kingdom, and he is absolutely not allowed to marry anyone." Mu Haoyu doesn't want to see Xi Chao's talent buried after his death, and be manipulated by any man, "Even if it's the person who Chao'er admires." ”
Mu Jinming deeply felt his father's mood at the moment, and understood the inevitability of doing so, the Xi Dynasty was talented and a rare solid arm, and he didn't like other men like his father.
In Mu Jinming's eyes, no man is worthy of his unique sister, no one's status can be equal to Xi Chao, except for flattery and those who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, no man can completely put aside the identity of Xi Chao, just like the person of Xi Chao, love her and protect her.
Even if the father doesn't say it, as the prince of a country, it is difficult for the Xi Dynasty to marry a wife like the ordinary lady of a big family, and the gap in identity has created the Xi Dynasty to give up the right to choose anyone to marry.
There are many families who intend to seize power for the purpose of marrying the Xi Dynasty, and for the sake of the stability of the imperial power and the safety of each other, the Xi Dynasty has to sacrifice more than what tends to be superficial in front of them.
Xi Chao's own temperament is by no means a person who is content with the status quo and is willing to be imprisoned in a square inch, her position should be the vast heaven and earth rather than between the size, her mind and means are not bound by anyone, she is destined to stand on a high place and overlook all living beings. The wings are sharp and the eagle strikes the sky and plays in the world, crisscrossing the four seas and five lakes, and he firmly believes that the Xi Dynasty has the ability to do something.
Mu Jinming has no shortage of worries in his heart, worried that the Xi Dynasty will be targeted by a man with other intentions, or pay all his sincere love to non-people, no matter how good the plan is, it will never catch up with the changes, the times are unpredictable, the love of the heart is difficult to control, and the love is incorrect.
What if one day the tide really meets someone who cares about it and would rather give up everything and marry someone else? Mu Jinming was unwilling and afraid to think about the terrible consequences, and how long his father's will could last. It can't be that the Xi Dynasty will guard the country of Mu for the rest of its life!
Mu Haoyu's heart gushed out with bitterness and melancholy, like the five flavors that were scattered from the overturn, mixed with indescribable pathos.
Mu Haoyu, who was under the pressure of the last heart disease, was in pain. It's like a sharp thorn buried deep in the heart, which is usually hidden in the heart and can't be seen, but now it has completely broken out, and the bright red blood flows, taking away the few vitality.
"One last thing." Mu Haoyu took a deep breath and suppressed the rushing feelings, "Chao'er is the princess of the royal family of Mu Kingdom, and the surname is Mu into the royal ancestral hall." No outflow. This is where he feels the deepest debt, no matter what, he must let Xi Chao recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in a dignified manner.
"The decree has been written, and you will take it later. When the time comes, it will be made public and the name of the court will be justified. "His daughter is not burdened with the crime of being slandered all her life because she recognizes others as her father, and Mu Haoyu can't even turn a blind eye to death.
"Yes, don't worry, father. We will fulfill our long-cherished wish and live up to the entrustment. Mu Jinming made a categorical promise. What the tide deserves will never be missed.
"Where's Chao'er?" Mu Haoyu misses his little daughter very much.
"It's coming, it's almost there." Mu Jinming got up and came to the outside of the hall, and met the Xi Dynasty who came in a hurry.
"Let's go inside." Mu Jinming gave Xi Chao a hug and patted his back to comfort him wordlessly.
"Okay." Shiochao strode into the inner sanctum to the bed.
"Father." Sitting on the edge of the bed and reaching out to hold his father's pale and slightly icy hand, wanting to warm up with his body, the last thing Xi Chao wanted to see still happened.
"Chao'er." Mu Haoyu's eyes widened, and he fixed his eyes on the little daughter who was close at hand.
"Father, I'm sorry for you." Mu Haoyu was full of guilt and vented the moment he saw his little daughter, "Father can't wait to hold a ceremony for you and tie your hair for the most beautiful princess of my father." ”
"No, I don't believe it." Shiochao has always been strong. I endured the bitterness in my heart, and now the suppressed feelings have reached the verge of bursting.
"People are born, old, sick and die. You are the smartest to understand, the father is just one step earlier. Mu Haoyu couldn't bear the tears of his little daughter, and reached out to wipe the tears rolling down his little daughter's face.
"You lied to people, and you won't leave if you say yes." Xi Chao's hoarse voice was mixed with endless unwillingness, "Okay, watching me and my brother grow up, you haven't given me anything I want." ”
"I'm sorry." All Mu Haoyu could say was these three words, "It's all my father's fault." ”
"What can't be said, why is it pressed in the bottom of my heart." Xi Chao choked up and said, "You said that I am very smart and have nothing to solve, so I have to hold it in my heart, and I finally extended my three-year life." ”
"You are so cruel to leave me and my brother and me." Xi Chao knew that she shouldn't say these things to hurt her father's heart, but she couldn't control it, she couldn't bear it, she couldn't help it.
"We are only in our teens, and the courtiers outside are watching and refusing to give up, and if there is a mistake, they will inevitably fight back, the master is weak and the slave is strong, and what you have left us is an unstable situation." Xi Chao was only left with unwillingness and no ribs in his mind, "You really can't bear to watch, we are struggling to survive in the tiger wolf's den!" ”
Mu Haoyu's eyes were red, he didn't want to do anything, the vitality was dissipating little by little, and he was reluctant to let go, his heart was not enough, a tear crossed the corner of his eye, fell into his sideburns and disappeared.
"You are strong, like a pampas vine, tough and strong." Mu Haoyu stroked Xi Chao's slightly haggard cheeks, "Mu Guo is handed over to you, although there are hardships, you can definitely hold it with the strength of your brothers and sisters." ”
"You take care of each other, and your father will be by your side to protect you." Mu Haoyu's heart ached, worried about the future situation of his two children.
"Brother and sister can break the gold if they work together." All Mu Haoyu can say is encouragement, he believes that his youngest daughter will figure it out that his daughter Mu Guo's first princess deserves to be above 10,000 people under one person.
"You're too selfish." Xi Chao accused, "I don't want to see you again!" She remembered that it was these not soft palms that supported her young body and took care of it, it was these hands that taught her to hold a pen, and it was these hands that wiped away the tears that she rarely cried.
Mu Haoyu was not angry, he knew that his youngest daughter was angry, "In the future, you will rely on yourself." Everything he can do is ready to help his two children, and he hopes to see results.
"My father's Xi Dynasty has always been strong." Mu Haoyu's words of encouragement were only this one, pale and irrepressible.
Xi Chao wiped away his tears and said solemnly: "Mu Zhao's faction has shown its ambitions, and it is only waiting for the opportunity to have all the manpower. "On the day of the Emperor's limit, the Emperor rose up and attacked him.
Mu Haoyu's eyes grew cold, and the fire swelled up, his good son and good courtier, this is to force the palace to seize the throne, before he died, "cough, cough, cough." ”
Xichao saw that his father was angry, so he hurriedly helped his father to lift his upper body, and fed it with ginseng tea on the low table next to the bed.
Mu Haoyu drank ginseng tea to relieve coughing and asthma with Xi Chao's hand, "Call Ming'er in, Li Desheng." ”
Xi Chao helped his father to sit up, put a soft pillow behind his waist, and quickly went out to call the two of them.
"Father." Mu Jinming stood on the side of the bed in a low voice.
"You say." Mu Haoyu pointed at the tide and asked her to say.
"Mu Zhao's faction seems to have the tendency to force the palace." Xi Chao received a report from the secret guards planted everywhere, "I have transferred all the guards back to the palaces of the officials who are closely monitored. ”
"The eyeliner in the palace was captured and imprisoned by the secret guards, and the Duanwang Mansion was in front of it." The Xi Dynasty had already planned for fear of rebellion, so he played chess pieces before Mu Zhaobu.
"How do you plan to do it?" There was no omission in the arrangement of the little daughter, and Mu Haoyu was keenly aware that the little daughter was still moving.
"I asked Imperial Doctor Xu at the latest tomorrow night." It is the time limit of the father and the emperor and the day when Mu Zhao forces the palace, and the Xi Dynasty intends to fight again to suppress the delusions of Mu Zhao's faction.
The room is as quiet as death, no one has the desire to speak, the matter is imminent, and it is difficult to suppress Mu Zhao's arrogance if he accidentally solves it with the holy decree, and it is very likely that he will point out that the holy decree is forged, and then make a plot.
"Convene the ministers tonight, seal the palace gate and read the holy decree, and pass on the throne early tomorrow morning." Xi Chao knew that this move violated filial piety and ignored the patriarchal law, and it was now the best way, and it might be too late to do so, and he must nip a qiē in the bud, and never allow Mu Zhao's faction to take advantage of it.
"Li Desheng." Mu Haoyu finally fought for his children.
"The minions are here." Li Desheng bowed forward to listen to the order.
"The holy decree of passing on the throne is sent to the border pass, and no unauthorized action is allowed without an edict, and there are two hearts to correct the law on the spot, and those who find differences will be rewarded and rewarded, and those who are traitors will be crowned marquis." Under the heavy law and heavy reward, Mu Haoyu will not tolerate Mu Haoyu, who is not open-eyed.
"Summoning hundreds of officials to enter the palace to see the driver, blocking all major roads, where there are carrier pigeons, flying birds and other things, a chance to shoot down." Mu Haoyu took a deep breath to ease the tense strings.
"Yes." Li Desheng responded one by one, and turned around and left without explanation.
"Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will be streamlined, and my father will see his brother ascend the throne with his own eyes." Only this method can suppress the suspicion of the outside world, and it can break the attempt of Mu Zhao's faction to point the deer as a horse and confuse the public, and the Xi Dynasty also wants his father to make this wish.
"Okay." Mu Haoyu looked at Xi Chao, who had gathered all his sorrows and cheered up, and felt very relieved, his daughter was in such a big sense that he was in control of the overall situation.
"Summoning Imperial Physician Xu to come, the rest of the Imperial Physicians are confined to the side hall." Xi Chao laid out the chess game he played in the same way, "After listening to the order, the hundred officials rested in another side hall and waited for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony. ”
Mu Haoyu listened to Xi Chao's mind and suddenly said, "My father gave you the imperial surname." "I am still unwilling to wait for my little daughter, but I have a matter of my own.
"Nope." Xi Chao categorically refused, "The rules cannot be broken, and the rebellious psychology of the courtiers will bring unforeseen impacts." ”
"What about you?" Mu Haoyu naturally understood it, and he was too wronged by the Xi Dynasty.
"I represent the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as I stand by the side of the imperial brother, outsiders must think that the Prime Minister's Mansion is on the side of the imperial brother, although Ouyang Ye is old and cunning, he will never dare to throw out the secret that he has kept for more than ten years at this pass." Ouyang Ye still has use value, and the Xi Dynasty wants to make the best use of it.
"When the situation is stable, it will be an auspicious day for me to return to the Mu royal family." Shiochao can wait.
"It's up to you." Mu Haoyu's energy was slightly lacking, and he forced himself to listen to his little daughter's arrangement.
"Amnesty for the world after ascending the throne." Mu Jinming was worried, and he didn't want to see some damned people escape the punishment of the law because of this, but this is a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, just to accumulate virtue and deceive the world.
"Even if there are those who don't open their eyes, what does it matter if they are washed in blood." The Xi Dynasty also has this measure, and is unwilling to let go of anyone who is in danger of her and the imperial brother, and it is reasonable to kill one and make an example.
"That's fine." If he is out of the way, Mu Jinming should not lose the majesty of the royal family, and he will lose the opportunity to look ahead and look back. (To be continued......)
