Chapter 412: The Godson of the Eternal King
Regarding Huang Qiong's worries, King Yong didn't care too much, but smiled slightly: "Understand, understand, everything you have to see through is not explained." Don't worry, as long as the old man doesn't announce this matter for a day, your seventh brother and I will be tight-lipped. The ninth brother said something from his heart, aren't you just worried that the old witch of Concubine De and the two hundred and five Song Kings are making trouble for you? ”
"Actually, for the pair of fools who can only be arrogant, the ninth brother doesn't have to worry about it now. Just the two of them, two people together, how can they be your opponents? However, the ninth brother was not wrong. Everything, it's better to be careful. The overall situation has not been decided for a day, and some things are still pressed in the heart. ”
When the words fell, King Yong dragged Huang Qiong to his side, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the second sister-in-law's family is now placed in your mansion?" Can you take your seventh brother and me to visit? No matter how many wrong things the second brother has done, he is our brother-in-law. The second sister-in-law is now back in Beijing, and it is really unreasonable not to visit. I've brought all these gifts. ”
Seeing that King Yong was like a thief, he knew that he was worried that he would be mistaken by the old man for King Jing's party because he was visiting King Jing's family in private. It is not necessary to be implicated, but a reprimand will certainly not escape. But if you don't visit, I'm sorry for the brotherhood, and Huang Qiong, who will damage his face as a chivalrous king, said with a slight smile: "Seventh brother, it's a good thing to have this idea, and the younger brother naturally wants to fulfill it." ”
"Don't worry, even if my father knows, there won't be any big deal. As Brother Qi said, no matter how many wrong things the second brother has done, after all, he is our brother. Now that the second sister-in-law is widowed and has entered Beijing, you, as a brother, should naturally visit. Even if the father knows, he can only say that the seventh brother is a person of great affection. ”
After that, he didn't pay attention to the expression on King Yong's face after hearing his words. After letting people report in advance, he dragged King Yong to the back house in his mansion, where King Jing's family was placed. Lin Hanyan, who had been informed in advance, was already waiting outside the courtyard with several concubines and children of King Jing.
Yesterday, the old man's decree to abolish the title of King Jing was not just a declaration to the world. King Jing's family also received a holy decree. That is to say, the current Lin Hanyan and all the side concubines of King Jing, under the emperor's new holy decree, together with the children they gave birth to, have been removed from the heavenly family and have become ordinary commoners.
The old man did not directly trap them, but only temporarily placed them in the British Palace, which was really merciful. If it is according to the former Tang Dynasty, once the father's throne is abolished due to sin, the boys among these children will be exiled to Lingnan. Even border areas such as Longyou don't even think about it.
Although this dynasty has changed this custom, once the prince is convicted, he will be confined within the high wall along with his family and children. As for when the children will be released, it will only depend on when their father dies. Generally, when the father dies, the son will be released and given a low-level title to mess around.
Of course, exceptions are not impossible. However, there are not those who have lifted the ban in advance, and there are a few children who have also been imprisoned to death. Emperor Lizong, because of King Tan, the eldest of his brothers, did not accept his brother's death and succession to the throne, thinking that as his eldest brother, the throne should be inherited by himself. After the efforts were ineffective, a rebellion simply came.
But he scraped together and pulled a bunch of thousands of military horses made up of ruffians, not to mention the elite of the four battalions. Even the local guards who have begun to fall are no opponents. He thought that he was right, as long as he unveiled himself, King Tan, who was determined by the world, did not even go out on Shandong Road, where the fief was located.
Less than ten days after the uprising, it was defeated by the 2,000 guards mobilized by the Shandong Lu Jiedu envoy. King Tan's family was captured, although they were not killed, and after being sent back to Beijing with their families, they were imprisoned in Fusi in Nanzhen. This King Tan is also temperamental, and he died in the captive after being imprisoned for less than two years. Originally, according to the practice of this dynasty, the prince committed crimes less than his family.
The Lord is dead, and the family should be forgiven. Even if the emperor of the current dynasty refuses to let go, the successor emperor who succeeds to the throne will generally open his face. But this King Tan is a special case, and his children have not been pardoned after his death. The three sons have been imprisoned until the death of Li Zong, and the new emperor has not been released to succeed to the throne, and has been imprisoned until death.
The five daughters, together with King Tan's wives and concubines, were forced to leave the family and not be allowed to marry for life. According to King Jing's sins, even if the reason for his rebellion was really involuntary. But the mere collection of private soldiers is enough for his whole family to be imprisoned. Now that the emperor has only abolished the title of King Jing, it can be regarded as thinking about the relationship between father and son.
Now the noble royal status in the past is already a thing of the past. As a commoner, when a prince comes to visit, it is necessary to greet him with great gifts. Otherwise, if the emperor ignores it, it will be a troublesome thing after all. At least it will bring a lot of trouble to Huang Qiong. This point, Lin Hanyan, who was born in a family of eunuchs, is naturally clear.
Although Lin Hanyan at this time no longer cared about the identity of the princess. But the problem is that it is already very rare to be able to visit yourself at this stall where others avoid themselves like snakes and scorpions. Even if this visit is only for the sake of the British king's face, or even to please the British king, it is quite rare.
You must know that it has been three days since Lin Hanyan returned to Beijing, and his biological father and brother have not come to see him. Even if he didn't take that princess seriously, Lin Hanyan's heart couldn't say uncomfortable. His own father and brother, who were officials in the current court, were still like this, how could they accuse others?
When he saw King Yong, Lin Hanyan had to salute, and he still had to make a big gift to meet the prince as a commoner. But whether it is for the sake of Huang Qiong's face, King Yong really dares to let this sister-in-law salute him, and hurriedly stops him: "Second sister-in-law, don't do this." If you carry out this ceremony, you will really want to kill your little brother alive. ”
"Just now, I also told my ninth brother that no matter what big rebellious things the second brother does, if he is our brother one day, he will be our brother for life. Regardless of whether the old man abolished the title of the second brother or not, no one can change the fact that you are our second sister-in-law and our children are our nephews and nieces. ”
"In this world, only the younger brother salutes his sister-in-law. There is absolutely no rule for being a sister-in-law to give a salute to her younger brother. Second sister-in-law, don't be so outside. Although your seventh brother and I don't have Lao Jiu, the kind of ability to kill the enemy when you get on the horse and govern the people when you get off the horse. But I, as a younger brother, at least in the sense of brotherhood, am definitely not the kind of person who sees people serving dishes. ”
King Yong's words can be described as sincere. When he came to the British King's Mansion today, although he had the intention of visiting Huang Qiong, there was also a large part of the reason that he really wanted to visit King Jing's family. Although he has not been close to the second brother since he was a child, he is not as cold as he is with the prince. And with the eternal king's person, he can't do the same thing as falling into the well.
Hearing King Yong say this, Lin Hanyan didn't have anything. The eyes of the others behind her were red one by one. Since King Jing's accident, they haven't heard such heartwarming words for a long time. As for Huang Qiong, although the line of the disposal envoy was set up in King Jing's Mansion. But in addition to meeting Lin Hanyan, he usually did not step into the back house of King Jing's Mansion in half a step.
Although he has returned to Beijing now, he lives under the fence of others, and no one will come to visit. Now I didn't expect that King Yong, who has always been known as the most chaotic among the princes, not only came to visit his people today, but also said such touching words, how could he not let these ladies sigh for a long time?
When he entered the living room, King Yong hurriedly ordered the gift he had prepared to be carried into the living room. This guy usually looks very aggressive, but when it comes to the critical moment, his mind is still very meticulous. Although the gifts purchased are not very expensive, they are all urgently needed by these old and weak women and children. And from the side concubine to a few children, everyone actually has it.
After giving the gifts, King Yong touched the heads of King Jing's children one by one, let out a long sigh, and said after a long time: "Sisters-in-law, before my father and emperor have figured out how to settle them, they will live here steadily. As the ninth brother, he will naturally not treat your sisters-in-law and nephews badly. In terms of safety, don't worry about anything. ”
"If you need anything, and the ninth brother doesn't have anything here, send someone to my place. As long as I can get your seventh brother, I promise to send it to you. I know his temperament, but he doesn't care too much about some things, and he doesn't like those luxurious things. What several sisters-in-law need, he may not really have here. ”
"Don't worry, with our brothers here, we will naturally protect your sisters-in-law and sit back and relax with a few nephews. As for the rest of the matter, don't worry too much. Isn't it still there, old man. A few children, after all, are still the grandsons of the old man, and the old man is a person who holds his grandson but not his son, so naturally he will not be treated there badly. ”
"Don't think about anything now, just raise a few children. When your children are older, you will have something to rely on for life. Rest assured, no matter how high or low it is in the future, there will always be a knighthood, and it will definitely not let a few children starve and freeze. This point, I promise for you for someone who is silent. ”
Speaking of this, King Yong glanced at Huang Qiong. As for the gaze of King Yong, Huang Qiongquan didn't see it. Although he showed the appearance of an old god, his eyes were actually on Lin Hanyan. However, King Yong's words don't matter whether they are true or not, at least they are sincere in tone. And in terms of posture, it doesn't seem to be deliberately made, but sincerely.
It's just that King Yong's next words to teach the eldest son of the king made Huang Qiong almost laugh. Seeing that Huang Qiong did not react, King Yong, who was a little bored, paid attention to the eldest son of the king again. took up the posture of his seventh uncle and taught him a lesson: "As the eldest brother, you must set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters." Now that I'm settled, I must study hard. ”
"Only by reading good books can we understand the truth of being a human being and take care of our younger brothers and sisters. And as the eldest son and eldest brother, you have to take care of your mother-in-law and these younger siblings. If you have anything, you can come to your seventh uncle and me at any time. But the ugly words come first, if you can't take care of your mothers, and your brothers and sisters. When the time comes, don't say that your seventh uncle won't give you face. ”
When he said this, King Yong's attitude was one of seriousness and sincerity. Who would have thought that the person in front of him who told other people's children to study hard was known as the number one gangster in the capital. Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all proficient, but when it comes to reading, it is really seven tricks to know six, and the rest are all ignorant.
