Chapter 222: Father and Son
Before Yiguiren was sent to the palace by the prince, the prince sent someone to teach her the rules of the palace for half a year. Before entering the palace, she was an absolute yellow flower girl, and the prince was such a lascivious person, he didn't dare to break her body.
The prince sent such a great beauty to the emperor, one is to please the emperor, and the other is to let her listen to more news in the palace. The queen has been out of favor for many years, and she has no way of knowing the emperor's inner thoughts, so Yiguiren is an important chess piece laid by the prince.
And Yi Guiren herself is not stupid, it can be said that she is very clever and intelligent, if it weren't for her steady behavior, the prince would not dare to send her into the palace to cause trouble.
Even if you have the courage to have an affair with the guards, it is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans. But there are some things that she can't decide by herself, and some people's fate is not destined to be in her own hands. One day, when Yi Guiren was taking a bath, a scorpion crawled out of nowhere, and Yi Gui and the waiting palace maid screamed in fright, and the guard broke in recklessly.
He slashed the poisonous scorpion to death with a knife, and saw Yi Guiren standing in the middle of the bath □, with graceful curves and an unobstructed view. This guard is furious and strengthens the nobles.
This guard probably tasted the taste of Yi Guiren, and since then he has been addicted, and he ran to Xianfu Palace one after another to have a private meeting with Yi Guiren, if Yi Guiren did not agree, he threatened to publicize the ugly things of Yi Guiren. Her personal eunuchs and palace maids were also worried, but everyone was kidnapped by this bold and reckless guard, if this matter was shaken out, so people would not be able to die, so they had to cover up their shame and help cover it desperately.
At the beginning, Yiguiren was also suspicious, thinking that she was calculated by a high-ranking concubine, but the person behind the curtain refused to appear, and after a long time, she slowly adapted to this kind of worrying life.
After all, the emperor is old, although he loves her a lot, but he will only summon her once every period of time, and every time it is hastily over, where can he compare to the young guards handsome and majestic, dragon spirit and tiger fierce.
After coming and going, Yigui people slowly changed from rejection to enjoyment.
It's just that every time the madness is over, there is endless fear and worry, and the town can't sleep at night. Seeing it, he became more and more haggard. Ironically, the emperor thought that she missed her relatives when she first entered the court, and he also comforted and rewarded her in every way, and her pitiful little white flower seemed to be more in the emperor's eyes!
Today, being caught and raped by Concubine Xiao in bed, Yi Guiren was horrified, and at the same time, he also had a kind of relief, just like a murderer who had been on the run for many years was suddenly arrested one day, and even the fugitive himself breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Guiren slowly walked to him and knelt in front of Concubine Xiao, her whole body trembling, not knowing what fate was waiting for her. Concubine Xiao has been the assistant harem for many years, and she is ruthless, and she will not tolerate mercy. The little concubine and the little nobleman who died in her hands had not a thousand but eight hundred, and they were already famous, and Yi Guiren was even more frightened when he hit her hands today.
Concubine Xiao saw the naked* Yi Guiren, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. Pointing to the guards who agreed to be naked, he shouted: "Don't take down this bold minion yet!" The eunuchs rushed up, tied up the guard and withdrew from the small Buddha hall.
Seeing this, Yigui was even more frightened.
Concubine Xiao said solemnly: "Yi noble, you fornicate with the guards and defile the court, you are guilty!" ”
Yi Guiren's face was full of tears, and his heart was broken: "The concubine is guilty, and the slave is also forced to be helpless, please let the mother know!" !! Mother's life!! ”
Concubine Xiao looked at her coldly, and didn't speak for a long time: "You are the emperor's favored nobleman, and this palace is not good to send you down at will, or not, this palace will ask someone to invite the emperor to come, and what kind of punishment should be determined by the holy will!" ”
If this matter is known to the emperor, even if a hundred heads are not enough. Yi Guiren took two steps on his knees, hugged one of Concubine Xiao's legs, kowtowed and said, "Niangniang, don't!" Don't invite the emperor over! Thinking that the slave and maid are just the first offenders, you should be merciful and merciful, and be kind to the slave and maid this time! The slave must strictly abide by the palace rules in the future, and dare not dare again! ”
Concubine Xiao's expression was cold, and she asked incredulously: "You have committed such a big crime, and you dare to ask this palace to spare you?" If this palace doesn't punish you strictly, in order to set an example, everyone in the palace learns from you as shameless, then what has become of the harem? Isn't this palace also entrusted by the emperor? ”
Yi Guiren kowtowed too violently, and his forehead was already blue: "The slave is young and ignorant, please read that the slave is a first offender, and she never dares to have a disrespectful face to the slave on weekdays, so give the slave and maid a lively." The slave and maid listened to the outside saying that the mother and the Bodhisattva were heartfelt, and they were the most compassionate. Please be extrajudicial to the mother! As long as the mother spares the slave and maid this time, the slave and the maid are willing to be cattle and horses for the mother, and are willing to be driven by the mother! ”
Concubine Xiao's smile was cold, her eyes were full of ridicule, the prince wanted to bury a nail in the harem, and he didn't see whose territory the harem was. Yigui people are empty and beautiful, and they can afford anything!
She just used a little trick to clean her up.
When she got what she wanted, Concubine Xiao didn't let her go immediately. Standing on the top without saying a word, just looking at her coldly, Yi Guiren kowtowed and turned around, and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground. Only then did Concubine Xiao speak: "That's it! Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if this matter is shaken out, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground, and this palace will spare you this time! ”
Yi Gui's heart was ecstatic, and he trembled: "Thank you for your grace!" Thank you for your grace! ”
Concubine Xiao lightly instructed her eldest aunt: "Find a dress for her to put on, and help the noble person up." ”
The eldest aunt brought over a piece of clothing, draped it on Yiguiren, and helped her up with her own hands. When Yi Guiren saw her disdainful gaze, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed, and his heart was like a knife.
Concubine Xiao admonished a few more words, and said indifferently: "The bold and reckless guard who fornicated with you will be taken away by the palace and disposed of quietly." As for you, do it yourself! ”
When Yi Guiren heard this, his face turned completely pale. She is not a fool, Concubine Xiao controlled the guards in her own hands, and she got such a big handle, she will not be obedient in the future, she will do whatever she tells herself!
It's just that now, Yigui people have no other way to go.
Concubine Xiao led people out of Xianfu Palace, and really suppressed this matter. There is not the slightest rumor about Yigui in the palace. The emperor still calls the nobles to sleep every once in a while.
It's just that every time after the bedtime, Concubine Xiao will send the eldest grandmother over and carefully ask the emperor what he said to her. After all, Yi Guiren was a little tender, and he was completely pinched by Concubine Xiao, word by word, even if the sweet words between the two, Yi Guiren didn't dare to hide it at all.
The eldest aunt was very puzzled, although the emperor was confused, but he would not tell Yi Guiren about the important decisions of the court, even if he wanted to tell, Yi Guiren might not be able to understand. Every time the emperor and Yi Guiren say something, it is some dispensable common words, and this information is useless at all, why should Concubine Xiao bother to know the Tao?
Concubine Xiao said: "People's psychology is often the most wonderful, and the first step is the most difficult to take." Yi Guiren leaked the private words between her and the emperor like this, and it was also a betrayal of the emperor in her heart. took the first step, in the future, let's take it step by step, one day, even if she is asked to poison the emperor's food, she can also make it slowly! ”
The eldest aunt listened to it and admired it.
Since Yuxin was born, the emperor and Concubine Xiao had a quarrel, the emperor was stimulated, and occasionally felt cold, and the whole person couldn't afford to get sick.
It's not a serious illness, the emperor is old, and he indulges in lust all day long, and his body has long been booed, and getting sick or something is also a common thing. The judge of the Tai Hospital personally came to diagnose the emperor's pulse, prescribed a prescription, and poured a dose of medicine, and the emperor felt a little looser.
Chen Jia waited with little care, the emperor's body was responsible for the safety of the whole world, the emperor was sick, it would not be easy for people to know, and it was only known by some close officials who could see the holy face every day.
But it's not easy to hide in the harem. Under normal circumstances, everyone will know the Tao. And Ye Minzhao, who was already in charge of the Internal Affairs Office at this time, of course, knew it for the first time.
On this day, the emperor had just finished breakfast, and Chen Jia came in to report: "Long live Lord, His Royal Highness King Lu has come down!" ”
The emperor gradually alienated the crown prince, and King Zhao was not in Beijing, and the five princes have been filial piety in front of the emperor recently, and the emperor is more and more satisfied with this son. After listening to Chen Jia's report, he was very happy and said, "Spread it quickly!" ”
Ye Minzhao came in without a crown on his head, and when he came in, he knelt down and said, "The son sees his father!" ”
Orthodoxy raised his hand and said, "Get up!" Seeing his dress, he said a little strangely: "What's wrong with you?" How did you dress like this and come in! ”
Ye Minzhao heard the emperor ask like this, and knelt down again with a puff of his robe. "Please forgive my father, my son has lost his honor. It's really the son who heard that his father's dragon body was sick, and he was in a hurry, and he hurried to come before he had time to change his clothes. ”
Ye Minzhao's tone was very sincere, and the emperor was very moved when he heard it. This son used to be smart and smart, but he was the most naughty and extremely bold, and he has been getting older recently, and he has become more and more calm in his speech and work. He is becoming more and more filial to his father.
When did he start changing? It seems that after Ye Yichen got married!
It's too late for orthodoxy to be happy when he hears this, how can he blame his son. Wen Yan said: "You are all filial piety, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame you, hurry up!" He beckoned Chen Jia and said, "Hurry up and bring you a brocade stool for the fifth master, and put it closer to me!" ”
Chen Jia hurriedly moved a brocade stool over and placed it in front of the dragon bed, and Ye Minzhao sat down. He asked with concern, "What does my father think?" ”
Orthodoxy said: "After drinking the medicine judged by the hospital, it has become much looser." Ye Minzhao's face was obviously relaxed when he heard this, and the changes in his expression were all seen by Orthodoxy, and Orthodoxy was naturally very satisfied.
When asked what medicine the orthodoxy was taking, what he had eaten for breakfast, and whether there was anything he particularly wanted to eat, he asked the imperial dining room to prepare it immediately. Such a care makes the orthodoxy happy.
The father and son got closer, and the orthodox smelled a faint smell on Ye Minzhao's body, and said strangely: "Why do you have a sandalwood fragrance on your body!" "Sandalwood is generally used to worship the Buddha, and indoor incense is not used. The orthodox emperor believed in Buddhism and Taoism, but Concubine Hui believed in Buddhism, but she was also Minzhao, who did not believe in Buddha or Taoism.
Ye Minzhao hurriedly covered up: "This, nothing!" ”
The emperor couldn't help but be surprised, and at this time Chen Jia joked: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the servant heard that His Royal Highness King Lu not only goes to the small Buddha hall of Jingyang Palace every day to worship the Buddha, but also eats vegetarian food three times a day, and never touches the slightest bit of meat." ”
The emperor is even more strange now: "Don't you don't believe in Buddhism? ”
Ye Minzhao said shyly: "My son also prays every day, I only wish that my father and mother will be healthy and live a long life, and my son will be enough!" Although the son didn't believe it, the son thought that he would rather believe it or not, even if it could help the body of his father and mother a little bit, it would be considered that the son was not busy in vain. ”
For a long time, the orthodox emperor has not had a strong sense of existence because of his weak temperament, although his sons respect and love him, but they have not tried their best to shoot the emperor's dragon fart as in history, which is also related to the temperament of the prince and King Zhao.
Ye Minzhao's pretentiousness was just right to slap his dragon fart, which made him very useful and very moved: "Good boy, I know that you are filial, but you are still young, it is the time to grow your body, how can you only eat vegetarian and not eat meat." This is a no-no! ”
As he spoke, he called Chen Jia: "Quickly ask the imperial dining room to make a few whole deer banquets of fresh venison offered by the British Duke according to last night's practice, and call your fifth master to use it here!" ”
Ye Minzhao knelt down to receive a whole deer banquet, and served the emperor with his own and his own medicine, and left the Qianqing Palace for nearly an hour.
After a few days, Ye Minzhao came early in the morning every day, served the emperor and drank the decoction, and then went to the Internal Affairs Office to deal with affairs. The emperor originally just wanted to ask him to be named for the time being, and he knew how to follow these slippery officials of the Internal Affairs Office, and he was the best at stepping on red and white, and sometimes even he, the emperor, dared to slack off.
The emperor is also a little self-aware, knowing that even if he personally goes to manage the internal affairs office, he may not be able to manage it well. Ye Minzhao still has to study and practice martial arts with the teacher in the morning, and only has time to go to the Internal Affairs Office in the afternoon, the emperor's original intention is just to call him a name, and the specific matters are still handled by the two deputy directors of the Internal Affairs Office.
Who knew that Lu Dao was only half a month old, and the two deputy directors of the Internal Affairs Office were all subdued by him with both soft and hard methods. said good things about Ye Minzhao in front of orthodoxy without a mouth. Ye Minzhao's talent may be innate, but he is extremely shrewd at a young age, no one wants to deceive him in front of him, and he is good at taking advantage of the situation, seizing the opportunity for the two managers to dismantle each other, and as soon as he arrives at the Internal Affairs Office, he gives the two of them a big dismount.
After that, he either rewarded or punished him heavily, and his actions seemed to be arrogant and nonsense, but after careful consideration, it was just right, and he dismissed one-third of the middle-level officials of the Internal Affairs Office, not only did not cause any trouble, but aroused unanimous praise from both the government and the opposition.
And the officials of the Internal Affairs Office finally realized that this was a master who was not good to wait, and began to cooperate with the implementation of Ye Minzhao's will.
Time is still short, Ye Minzhao can't say that he has already pinched all the internal affairs government in the palm of his hand, but I believe that it won't be long before he will do it soon.
When the emperor heard that his old son had the ability to be a royal servant, he was naturally very happy. The father and son were smiling and laughing in the Qianqing Palace, and Ye Minzhao was always with him these days, and orthodoxy felt that his illness seemed to be getting better a lot.
But the emperor always felt that something was missing when lying on the dragon bed, he didn't only have a son like Ye Minzhao in this palace, but also a prince! He had been sick for so many days and had not seen the prince come to visit him once, and the emperor couldn't help but be a little angry when he thought of this.
Compared with Ye Minzhao, the emperor only loved the prince a lot more in the past!
The emperor then instructed Chen Jiadao: "Call someone to pass the prince in!" ”
Chen Jia hurriedly went down, he wanted to give the prince some eye medicine, the emperor has a bad place, that is, no matter what other people do bad things, the emperor will forget about it after a while. Recently, because of Concubine Xiao's matter, the emperor's attitude towards the prince has obviously improved a lot.
Therefore, Chen Jia called a eunuch named Shen Ping, who was waiting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, to go to Yuqing Palace to call the prince over. Any eunuch who can wait in the Qianqing Palace is worth spending a lot of money to win over, this Shen Ping doesn't know how many benefits Lu Dao has received from the Chengqian Palace on weekdays, and he has long been fed by Concubine Xiao.
And this Shen Ping also has a grudge against the prince, once the prince was scolded by the emperor, when he walked out of the palace gate, Shen Ping blocked his way, the prince kicked Shen Ping to the side with a heartwarming foot, and Shen Ping didn't get out of bed for more than half a month because of this foot.
In the eyes of the prince, Shen Ping is a eunuch who can't get on the stage, but he doesn't know that there is a good saying in Lu Dao: Hades is easy to see, but little ghosts are difficult.
When Shen Ping came over to pass on wisdom, the prince was taking a few concubines to enjoy the song and dance, and Yuxia was among them. After the death of the Queen Mother, the prince became more and more lax in his requirements.
Seeing Shen Ping, the prince had long forgotten about this little person who was not very favored in front of the emperor, Shen Ping finished announcing the emperor's message, and the prince hurriedly said: "Please sit down with your father-in-law, and come alone to change your clothes!" ”
The prince went to change his clothes, and Shen Ping sat there alone, and no one even served a bowl of hot tea, let alone the red envelopes that he would give in his usual orders. In the eyes of the crown prince, my father's slave is my slave, why should I be so polite with my own slave, and give me silver?
Prince, you really think of yourself as a character!
Shen Ping's new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and when the prince changed into bright clothes and came over, he didn't remind him at all, and the prince asked: "I don't know what is important when my father summons me!" "The emperor was sick, and the prince didn't go to the bedside to serve the sick, but he didn't know the news.
Recently, Yuxia rehearsed a song of neon clothes and feathers according to the records of ancient books, the prince was very happy, Zhenri took the concubines to enjoy the song and dance, and he couldn't think about it, and no one saw it much.
How could Shen Ping tell him the truth, bowed his head and said, "The slave doesn't know what the Emperor of Lu Dao asked you to do?" The servants were guarding outside, only to hear the emperor laughing inside. What he said was also unrevealed, and the emperor laughed because Ye Minzhao made him happy.
But when these words reached the ears of the prince, they gave him a wrong signal, and he thought that there was something good about the emperor calling him, so he happily followed Shen Ping.
Shen Ping pouted in his heart: Phew, this is to see that you don't have a big heel!
Shen Ping sent the prince to the palace gate, and the emperor immediately announced that the prince was in attendance.
The prince stood outside the palace gate for a moment and heard the laughter coming from inside, heard his father's summons, tidied up his clothes and went in happily.
When I entered the main hall, it turned out that Ye Minzhao was also here. "See Father!" Although the prince smelled the smell of Chinese medicine in the room and saw the emperor lying on the dragon bed, he still did not react, and still bowed down with a smile.
His father was sick, not only did he not have the slightest sadness, but he smiled, are you looking forward to the rhythm of your father's early death?
The face of the orthodox emperor was first stunned, and then from shock to anger, and his face slowly turned blue and purple. Ye Minzhao looked at the prince's brother from the side. To tell the truth, the prince is still good to Ye Minzhao, but Ye Minzhao has always looked down on him.
In comparison, although Ye Minyu fought with him a lot when he was a child, when he grew up, Ye Minzhao looked at him more pleasing to the eyes than the prince.
There is no other reason, Ye Minzhao is extremely smart, and smart people have a bad problem, that is, they don't look down on stupid people!
Ye Minzhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the prince's appearance today, just such a fool, just because he was the eldest son, and because he was born by the queen, he had been in the position of the prince for so many years. With his little IQ, it is really intolerable if he is not abolished!
The prince waited for a long time and did not see the voice of his father. Raised his head in amazement, and saw the emperor's angry look on his face, only to find that the atmosphere was not right, and he was stunned and said, "Father, the emperor ......"
Before he finished speaking, the orthodox emperor had already picked up the golden bowl on the imperial case and threw it over. "You unfilial rebel, do you want me to die quickly, so you can take the opportunity to ascend the throne and become the emperor yourself? I'm telling you today, don't dream! ”
The prince was already stunned, the golden bowl flew over, he didn't dare to dodge at all, the golden bowl smashed on his forehead impartially, the prince only felt that the sky was spinning in a blink of an eye, and he was almost smashed to the ground, and a big bag immediately rose on his head.
The crown prince said in a trembling voice: "Father, the son really doesn't know what annoys his father!" But the father, the son has no idea of cursing the father, if the son has such a thought, he will let the son thunder and thunder, and he will not die well! Ask my father to know me! ”
"You rebel, you are still quibbling, I am sick in bed, I asked you to come to serve the sick, not only did you not have the slightest sadness, but your face was full of joy, you should be blind!" Orthodoxy trembled with anger, struggled out of bed, and pulled out the sword hanging on the wall: "I will do the right thing for heaven today and kill you, a disloyal and unfilial rebel!" ”
Is the emperor sick? Only then did the prince react like an initiation, and he had the heart to say that he had been deceived by a eunuch, but if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with the eunuch's words, and it was difficult to speak.
