Chapter 9 Sending Off

Qi Xuanli didn't say a sentence until the sedan chair arrived at the door of Kunyuan Palace, "Brother sues you, you two are just the beginning, we must not indulge her like this, otherwise, your days of hardship are still ahead." Concluding remarks.

He saw that Qi Xuanhui looked humbly taught, so he nodded contentedly and pulled the person out of the sedan chair.

The brothers walked side by side and stepped into the palace gate of Kunyuan Palace, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, there was a cold and desolate feeling in their hearts.

This palace should be the most luxurious and noble in the harem, and it should also be the most prosperous, but it is so depressed and deserted at this time.

On the ground paved with white jade, the withered yellow leaves swam away with the wind, and the flowers and plants in the garden were already overgrown with weeds because no one took care of them, either withering and dying, or hanging their heads with their heads bowed.

The two brothers walked into the palace courtyard twice, except for the eunuch who guarded the door, saw the two princes coming, fell to the ground and bowed, there was no longer any palace maid or eunuch in the courtyard.

Such a deserted scene made people sigh, Qi Xuanhui and Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but look at each other, and they both secretly shook their heads in their hearts.

Think about the lively scene when the harem concubines came to Kunning Palace every day to worship the queen, and then take a look at the pitiful situation of this tree falling down.

The tragic end of the loser is really eye-catching.

Qi Xuanli couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, "Fortunately, the winner in the end is his own family!" Otherwise, we would be the unlucky. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuanhui, who was frowning slightly. For this younger brother, who played a decisive role in seizing the throne, he became more and more emotional.

The two brothers actually knew that since the death of Emperor Jingyuan, the Kunyuan Palace had been completely controlled by Emperor Wenhua, who had just ascended the throne.

A few days ago, the queen also asked the queen to show her face in front of the courtiers and the internal and external wives, showing a harmonious situation of mother and son.

It's less than ten days now, this new emperor. I have already made up my mind. It's time to do something to this former queen.

Thinking about it, this timing is indeed appropriate, anyway, the first queen has always supported the prince with a clear banner, and she has stood with the prince a lot. suppressed Concubine Jing and her three sons.

Now the winner is decided. Losers. It's time to leave as soon as possible, the two national funerals are done together, and it can save a lot of financial, material and manpower resources, isn't it?

Stepping on the white jade steps that no one had cleaned for days. Qi Xuanli and Qi Xuanhui boarded the porch of the main hall of Kunyuan Palace.

Qi Xuanli looked up at the plaque on the door of the hall, and instructed lightly, "Lin Yong will bring the decoction, Fan Yang will follow us in, and the rest of us will wait here." ”

An elderly eunuch behind the two of them, his eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile: "Two county princes, there are still seven or eight grandmothers in this palace, what about the palace maids, you two people with more than gold, it is not appropriate to only bring two little fathers-in-law in, right?" ”

Qi Xuanhui turned around, glanced at him flatly, and said lightly: "The master's orders, do you dare to question the slaves?" When he went back to give the saint a fate, the king of this county would ask Father-in-law Tian how he disciplined his servants on weekdays. ”

The old eunuch suddenly panicked, hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and slapped himself with a bow left and right.

reprimanded one after another: "Let you be a dog slave and have a lot of things, let you be a dog slave with a lot of mouths"

"The prince of the county is angry, and the prince of the county spares his life"

In Qi Xuanhui's eyes, these people are just slaves, and they are not as good as the objects he is used to on weekdays, which are worthy of his attention.

didn't even bother to give a superfluous look, turned around and pulled Qi Xuanli, and strode into the red majestic palace gate.

Qi Xuanli saw that the two of them were already far away, so he reprimanded in a low voice: "Can I just come alone?" If you have no eyes, you have to fight in front of the saint. ”

"It's okay now, the two of them are trapped in a couple, and none of our brothers have run away, you are really a worry-free person."

Qi Xuanhui didn't look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jiu, compare your heart to your heart, you don't want your brother to fall in, am I just a wolf-hearted dog, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Can I just say nothing and watch you come for me? This is to send the first queen on the road, if the saint does not mention it in his life, then everyone is safe and happy. ”

"But once he moved his mind to turn over the old accounts that day, whoever enters this palace gate today, in the future, whoever will have to take the whole family to the funeral because of this major event!"

Qi Xuanli couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly as he listened to him explain an obvious fact in a calm tone.

sighed: "Maybe you and my brother are thinking too much, the sixth brother is the brother of the two of us after all, he won't"

Speaking of which, he couldn't go on

To say a word of conscience, anyone can say brotherhood, but the royal family can't say it.

Especially the emperor who sits high on the throne, this person who is born to be called a lonely widow, that is, there can be no one else except himself.

From the moment Qi Xuanzhen ascended the throne, he was already a monarch and a minister, and then a brother, in the face of national affairs, not only did the brotherhood not play a good role, but the reaction was afraid that it would increase dramatically!

Qi Xuanhui thought about it countless times in his heart, and after he was reborn, he asked his sixth brother the question.

Qi Xuanzhen's answer is definitely in the process of being cleaned up, and he said it very clearly, "As long as you don't endanger hài to the imperial court, you can be tolerated as a brother, but as long as you surpass; Well, that boundary, being a brother can only put national affairs first. ”

His words sound cold and tactful, but they are the truth, you can't let the country you harm not be a country, right?

In his previous life, Qi Xuanhui took a crooked path with all his thoughts, and was finally sent back to the West by Mr. Han Ning's desperate poison.

This self-inflicted sin cannot live, and he will admit it!

But in this life, Qi Xuanhui is clear-sighted, not only has he never had a mind that he shouldn't have, but he has always gone all out to help Zhu Qi Xuanzhen seize the throne.

So he always secretly had a thought, just wanted to take a look. Such a loyal and good prince will still arouse the suspicion of the saint and attack himself?

Qi Xuanhui would think like this, and he could only say that the emperor's mind has always been the most difficult to guess.

Even if it is a person like Qi Xuanhui, who has lived for two lifetimes, it is difficult to determine.

As for the emperor's mental technique, only the prince is qualified, and he can be taught by a talented gentleman.

But. Just ask the prince. Didn't you go behind your back, looking for another master to seek advice?

Royal no affection! This sentence is never a lie, let alone a lie.

Those of them who grew up in the deep palace, whose mind can be really simple?

Even the always honest King Pingjun. If you have the momentum, you have to be arrogant.

This one even dared to borrow courage from heaven. Poison the first prince. After watching such a tragedy of killing brothers, who dares to say that there are honest people among the princes?

Qi Xuanhui, who was walking in front, slowed down his pace. Still didn't see Qi Xuanli to keep up.

He turned his face very puzzled, and when he saw Qi Xuanli's expression a little sad, his hands were sleeved in the big box, his head was lowered, and he slowly rubbed forward.

Looking closely, it seems that even his consistently straight back is slightly bent.

Thinking of this holy brother, the entanglement in his heart at this moment is probably more than anyone else's.

In his heart, he doesn't know what kind of gains and losses are.

Qi Xuanhui raised his hand and patted Qi Xuanli's shoulder, and said to him softly with a smile, "Brother Jiu, why doesn't it stop here? At this time, our brothers are just taking precautions. ”

"Think a few more steps and take a long-term view, there will be nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't mean that the sixth brother will really do something like that."

"Speaking from the heart, younger brother, I always feel that the three of us brothers have been getting along since childhood, and this love of life and death is different from others in the end."

"For the sake of our brothers' hearts, he will not be able to tolerate the two of us."

"Besides, there is still a mother concubine behind you and me, and in a few days her old man will become the queen mother, and we will have a big tree to rely on!"

The comfort component of his words definitely accounted for most of it, in the end, Qi Xuanhui still couldn't bear it, seeing that his ninth brother, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, lived so cautiously.

Qi Xuanli's original worried heart, naturally, he followed Qi Xuanhui's words to think, he first thought of his mother's love for him, and then thought of his own brother as a good son of filial piety.

It is not difficult to think that I and my thirteenth brother can have the big umbrella of my mother and live a peaceful life for decades.

In his heart, he must have jumped out of his temper, and he jumped out again, he pointed at Qi Xuanhui and said with a smile: "It's still you kid who is clever and thinks too much." ”

"Isn't that what you said? The two of us still have a concubine, don't worry, don't worry. ”

But if the first queen is not placed, the position of the queen mother who respects the concubine can only be a fantasy.

Don't say anything about Concubine Jing Niangniang is the emperor's mother, the first queen is the first emperor's main room, according to the rules of the ancestors, the new emperor can only respect her as the queen mother.

As soon as he thought of this, Qi Xuanli suddenly opened up a little, and secretly thought: "Brother Jiu is so anxious, he wants to send the first queen to accompany his father, and it is also for the sake of his mother's title." ”

"As the saying goes, this name is not right, as long as Xiao Thirteen and I will move away the big stone in front of the mother, then it is a matter of course for the saint to decree that the mother concubine will be crowned the queen mother."

"No wonder it's ten days younger, and the saint hasn't decreed the distribution of the queen's concubines, but it's just thinking about it here."

Once Qi Xuanli's knot was opened, he instantly felt in a good mood, and the chilling Kunyuan Palace in front of him was not so eye-catching.

He had just dragged his pace, and suddenly picked up his pace.

Qi Xuanli caught up in a few steps, but instead pulled Qi Xuanhui, who was in front of him, and hurried towards the inner hall.

Qi Xuanhui looked at Qi Xuanli, who was pulling himself in front of him and walking energetically, and couldn't help but shake his head funny, "Brother Jiu's nerves are thicker, but there is nothing wrong with it, at least, he is happy now." ”

Kun Yuan Palace, the west side of the dormitory.

The first queen was reclining on the beauty collapse near the window, her eyes were blank, looking out of the wide open window.

She was wearing a white cloth filial piety suit, long hair, and only a white jade hairpin, which was loosely pulled up.

She didn't dress up and didn't apply fat powder, but she looked younger and more elegant than when she was dressed.

In such a cold weather, in the west hall of this large number, there is only a charcoal basin burning at the feet of the former queen.

She only had a thin blanket on her body, and in front of the wide open window, her hands were already as cold as ice.

It's just that this physical coldness is not as cold as her spiritual coldness.

The first queen was like this, letting the cold wind blow, and she was unscrupulous.

In fact, since the crown prince was deposed, she has understood what kind of ending awaits her.

At the beginning, the first queen was still holding back a breath of anger in her heart, and she made up her mind not to let the rival mother and son have a good time.

No matter how you say it, she is also the emperor's main family, and only she is the justifiable queen of the Dajing Dynasty.

As long as she doesn't die, then the position of the queen mother can't run, she just wants to occupy that position, so that the two girls are aggrieved to death!

But the further things develop, the more clearly the first queen sees that her opponent is absolutely kind and ruthless.

Presumably, if she gets in the way of others, it is estimated that the first person who will be unlucky will be the Guozhang Mansion behind her.

As expected, on the third day of the death of the first emperor, the new emperor sent someone to pass on a sentence, "The queen mother, the national abbot's mansion, choose one." ”

How could she watch her mother's family go to hell and be the queen mother in name only?

In order to allow the new emperor to raise his noble hand to her mother's family and exchange a way for her family to live.

The first empress did not choose to tear her face, but chose to compromise, and since then, she has done everything according to the will of the new emperor.

should cry and mourn, should guard the spirit, and use his unreserved cooperation in exchange for a copy of the emperor's golden words.

In the past few days, every day has been a torment for her, and she has never felt that time will be so difficult.

Now that she can finally get complete relief, the first queen feels relieved and spontaneously.

The most noble woman of the Dajing Dynasty took off her filial piety clothes, changed into the queen's big red gold and phoenix double luan tail court dress, and brought the red and gold crown of the nine phoenix titles that only belonged to her.

Under the service of her confidant grandmother, she put on magnolia powder, lightly drew Lauder's eyebrows, and drank the decoction that sent her on the road with the only dignity that belonged to her.

She lay down on the phoenix couch very calmly, gently closed her eyes, and waited for the moment of death to come.

At the moment when the former queen lost consciousness, this noble woman muttered, "I only wish to marry into an ordinary family in the next life"

In the first year of Emperor Wenhua, on the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, the first queen collapsed.

Because everything must be based on the first emperor, the successive responses and future events will come according to the days of the first emperor.

In this way, those sub-managers of the Internal Affairs Bureau, grandmothers, are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and they can't wait for their parents to have one more pair of hands and two legs, so that they can be used.

Fortunately, the original princess of Jin, although she has not been crowned by the new emperor, has also entered the palace to live.

With the full cooperation of her and Concubine Jing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who cooperate tacitly, the entire palace is busy.

The relevant matters of a qiē are all in order and have been done in accordance with the rules. (To be continued......)
