174 The Yellow Finch (2)
In the twenty-first year of Yufeng's Laba, another snow came, covering up all blood and sins.
The night before the palace changed so much, not to mention the hundreds of officials in the court, even the ordinary people in Beijing faintly knew that this day was going to change!
Therefore, on the day of Laba, even ordinary merchants have not opened, and Beijing has not heard any other movement except for going door-to-door to search the officials of Ke Wang Yu's party.
Ordinary people can hide in their homes behind closed doors, anyway, whose world belongs has nothing to do with them as ordinary people. But the civil and military officials in the court are like ants on a hot pot, and they are very tormented.
Empress Chen naturally received the news early, but she didn't dare to be too proud, in the end, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and only secretly communicated the news with a few people who came closer. Ke Wangdang was already disheartened, and he was even more restrained and behaved, and he didn't dare to inquire more about the news. However, there are also clear streams in the court that are not affected, and they still send gifts to the families who are friendly with them according to the old practice of the past.
It took three days to arrest King Ke's remnants, raided many mansions, and imprisoned many people. It's just that on the day when the last dynasty opened the government, only the prince of the country and the plain were arrested, but there was no trace of King Ke, that is, the brother Qin case and nephew of the virtuous concubine also escaped.
And King Jing, who was far away in Beijing, also hurried back to Beijing.
After the restoration of the early dynasty, the first thing was to liquidate the forced palace.
The evidence of Prince Ke's forcing the palace is conclusive, and with Concubine Li and Emperor Yufeng's side of Wan Nei as witnesses, the crime of killing the king of Concubine Xian has also been decided.
The civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Emperor Yufeng drank the medicine poured by Concubine Xianqiang. It was Empress Chen's timely rescue that saved her life. After forcibly writing two holy decrees, the current Emperor Yufeng is only waiting to die in one breath.
One decree was to execute King Ke and Concubine Xian, and the other was to ordain a new emperor. And the new emperor has no choice but to be the prince of Jing.
King Jing now has an absolute advantage, Empress Chen has the Holy Will, and the Duke of Chen's Mansion has the strength to control the capital in Beijing, and King Jing's ascension to the top is a nail in the coffin.
When the court began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, Gu Qingwan received the news, and her heart that had been hanging for half a month finally fell. When Du Jing handed the news in. Zheng Rui sat beside Gu Qingwan. The eyebrows and eyes are crooked.
Although Zheng Rui is young, he is still very governor, and his mouth is on fire during this time, whenever Du Jing comes to deliver the news. His ears were held high. I'm afraid I'll miss something. I saw a smile on his face. Gu Qingwan also felt a little more pity in her heart, and only touched his head and said, "Now that the dust has settled, He'er will sleep well tonight." After recuperating your body, go back to Beijing to see your father. ”
Zheng He is already sensible, he has a lot of thoughts these days, Gu Qingwan is afraid that he will be suffocated in his heart, and he always thinks of ways to make him happy. The child knows the best about good and bad, he has been with Gu Qingwan for half a month, and he has become close to Gu Qingwan.
"It's worrying the imperial aunt." Zheng He smiled at Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now that you have eaten, you can go to the house to take a nap." King Ke still has the rest of the party has not been cleaned up, you better stay in the house and don't go out, I think it won't be long before your fifth emperor uncle will come back, and as soon as he comes back, the day of entering Beijing will not be far away. ”
Zheng He responded with a good voice, and then was led to the compartment by Hongjin and Biliu.
Gu Qingwan waited for the people to leave, and then said to Baotian and Jin Hai who were guarding the house: "You can hear what I just said to the prince, now that King Ke has not been ambushed, everything will be as usual, and outsiders must not be allowed to see the flaws." ”
Bao Tian and Jin Hai hung their heads, and Gu Qingwan went back to the back room, ready to squint on the couch for a while.
Zheng Rui has pretended to be stupid since he was a child, and the prevention is that Queen Chen will kill him, and before the throne of King Jing is secured, he still can't let Queen Chen see the flaws. Zheng Rui came to Zhuangzi with her, and if she went back, it would naturally be two people going back together, so she would inevitably have to go back to Zhuangzi.
As for Zheng He, he was quietly sent out of Lu by Princess Jing, and this matter could not be known to Empress Chen. Only then did Du Jing say that Princess Jing had returned to Nanshan, and she wanted to send Zheng He back to Nanshan to meet Princess Jing.
As for how to send Zheng He back under his cover, it is necessary to wait for Zheng Rui to come back and then figure out a way. Now is the time when the wind is at its tightest, in order to hold Prince Ke, Queen Chen is watching everywhere, and Gu Qingwan does not dare to make a rash decision.
Gu Qingwan was thinking about her thoughts in a disorganized manner, and she didn't even know when she fell asleep. She had been too worried lately, and once she had unloaded her burden, she fell asleep in a short time.
Bao Tian and Jin Hai saw that Gu Qingwan had a rare good night's sleep, and they couldn't bear to wake her up, so they only warmed a few things to eat in the kitchen, leaving one person to keep vigil.
This sleep, I slept until the second half of the night. Gu Qingwan only felt a little itchy on her face in her sleep, and she couldn't open her eyelids heavily, so she raised her hand and waved.
A voice in my ear said, "It's not easy to sleep." ”
Gu Qingwan woke up suddenly, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she thought that there was a team of secret guards in this village, and the only one who could enter the inner room in the middle of the night was Zheng Rui. In an instant, the horror in her eyes turned into a surprise, and before Zheng Rui could react, she rolled into Zheng Rui's arms like a bird.
She was both scared and confused about the future of herself and Zheng Rui, and she never dared to give her sincerity. But Zheng Rui's expression of his heart when he left made Gu Qingwan feel at ease, and at the same time, she also reflected.
Gu Qingwan didn't have a good impression of Zheng Rui, but this good impression was wrapped in uneasy emotions. Zheng Rui's life and death in Beijing this time were uncertain, and Gu Qingwan often couldn't sleep at night when she was worried, afraid that if something happened to him, she regretted that she didn't give him a response when she parted.
Her thoughts are naturally not as subtle as those of ancient women, and since she has decided to try, she will no longer be twisted.
Zheng Rui was just stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the corners of his lips. His hand touched Gu Qingwan's waist-length black hair, and comforted him in a low voice: "I'm back, don't be afraid." ”
Gu Qingwan hugged Zheng Rui tightly, as if she wanted to grow on him.
Seeing Gu Qingwan buried in his chest and his face turned red, Zheng Rui smiled and only persuaded: "Hurry up and let go, I see that you are almost out of breath." ”
But Gu Qingwan still refused to let go, and the strength in her hands was a little bigger.
Zheng Rui couldn't cry or laugh a little, but the joy gushing out of his heart couldn't be stopped. Seeing Gu Qingwan kneeling on the bed with her legs, he picked up Gu Qingwan and turned around to sit on the bed, let Gu Qingwan lie down in front of him, and patted Gu Qingwan's back again, as if comforting.
