Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Like You
The West Warm Pavilion of the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the Diligent and Virtuous Palace.
Emperor Long An's face was gloomy and a little terrifying, and the Emperor Taishang left the palace, which was beyond his expectations.
What's even more unexpected is that the person brought by the Emperor Taishang is not a prince, but Li Hui, the king of Ning!
Li Hui is the son of the late Prince Yizhong.
And Prince Yizhong was the crown prince who was almost appointed back then!
During the 30 years of the Jing Chu Dynasty, the first 25 years, whenever the Emperor Taishang went out of Beijing, the person who supervised the country must be Prince Yizhong from the Yuan Dynasty.
If it weren't for Prince Yizhong's sudden behavior and rudeness, and his sudden death after being confined, it is unknown who is sitting in the Heart Cultivation Hall now.
However, although Prince Yizhong was deposed, his eldest son Li Hui was not affected and was still very favored by the emperor.
When Emperor Longan ascended the throne in the first year of Long An, he directly canonized Li Hui as the king of the county.
At a time when Confucianism was popular, in the eyes of the world, Li Hui's status was even more orthodox than that of Emperor Long'an.
Because of this, many ministers sympathized with and recognized King Ning.
Emperor Long An, who was originally jealous of King Ning, heard that Emperor Taishang actually took him on a trip to Shenjing, how could he not be frightened?
Even though he killed a corrupt official in Shanxi Province, and abolished the three major Shangshu and six squires, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still the old ministers of Jingchu.
Especially the Beijing camp guarding Shenjing, the core of the 12 regiments and battalions are all Yuanping heroes.
In the early thirty years of the Jing Dynasty, the "well-behaved and sensible" who had already been regulated by the Emperor Taishang was like a finger, even if Emperor Long An promoted a prince Teng to serve as the envoy of the Jingying Festival, he could not control the Beijing camp at all.
At this time, if the Emperor Taishang is willing to do the abolition of the establishment, it is just a matter of will......
"Your Majesty, why worry? Abolishing the crown prince is still a major event that shakes the country's foundation, let alone Your Majesty? Moreover, the Emperor Taishang has lived in Jiuhua Palace for a long time, but he has been asking about the government for five years, which shows that the emperor does have the intention of abdicating and recuperating. Today may happen for a reason, but there is no need to be alarmed. ”
The person who opened his mouth was not an important minister of the court, nor a prince of the clan, but a beautiful woman dressed in a silk brocade dress with a peony pattern and a fairy bun with her hair.
Among the women in the world, except for the queen mother and the queen, peony and bird patterns are forbidden.
This woman looks to be in her early thirties, beautiful, she can't be the queen mother, and her identity is self-evident......
This person is the current queen of the main palace, Yin Chuanxiu.
The world only knows the beauty of Empress Yin, but few people know her intelligence.
There are many things that cannot be discussed with outsiders, especially after ascending the throne, except for Emperor Long An in the palace, there are few foreign men.
Therefore, there are many things, and Emperor Long An is also willing to discuss with the extremely smart Empress Yin.
As for the worries of the harem chaos......
Empress Yin is in the nine-fold deep palace, except for the day of Zhengdan New Year's Hope, how can he mess with the government if he can't see the foreign ministers twice a year?
Hearing Empress Yin's words, Emperor Long An was not much more relaxed, and said in a deep voice: "There is a reason for this? What else could alarm the old royal father? ”
Empress Yin stepped forward with a smile, refilled the tea for Emperor Long'an's golden cup, and then said: "The concubine went to Jiuhua Palace in person to visit the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager, but she didn't see the Taishang Emperor, because the Taishang Emperor rested after he came back." But it was to accompany the queen mother and her old man to gossip for a while, and after learning that it was the king of Ningjun who entered the palace and talked to the emperor today, the emperor moved the idea of going out of the palace in microclothes. ”
"Li Hui!"
The look of annoyance in Emperor Long'an's eyes was blazing, but Empress Yin smiled again: "He may have the intention of pulling the banner of the Emperor, but unfortunately, today he was ruined by an unexpected person." ”
Emperor Long An remembered what was recorded on the secret fold, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "The person who happened to the queen is the kid of the Jia family?" He stayed in the plum room of the Drunken Immortal Building for a full hour, but he didn't know what he was talking about. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the chief eunuch in a big red python dragon robe come in, walking like a cat, without the slightest sound.
Kneeling down in the hall and said, "Long live Lord, it's clear." Na Jia Qiang was originally the great-great-grandson of Ning Guozheng, his parents died early when he was a child, and he was taken into the mansion by Jia Zhen, the hereditary general of Ning Guofu. On July 23, he escaped from Ningfu for some reason and returned to his old house. This gentleman is accustomed to appreciating flowers and stubborn willows, but once he has changed his mind and is diligent in his studies. However, only ten days later, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion united with Jia Yu and Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion on the grounds that the ancestral hall was on fire and the ancestors were angry, and jointly announced that Jia Qiang was disobedient and unfilial, expelled from the Jia family, and took back the Jia family's house. Jia Qiang and his uncle Liu Laoshi's family moved to live in a miser house near Qingta Temple, and at the same time, according to the ancient recipe, they invented a kind of food called barbecue lamb skewers, which was very popular in the market, and the business was quite prosperous, but in ten days, nearly half a hundred silver. Later, it was coveted by the Sands Gang......"
The big eunuch told Jia Qiang all the way about what happened during this period of time, almost everything was very detailed, until he said that after buying the book today, he met the emperor in the drunken immortal building.
After he said that, Emperor Long An's first question was: "Escaped from Ningfu for some reason, disobedient and unfilial?" What the hell is going on? ”
When the big eunuch heard this, he first looked at the queen in embarrassment, and Emperor Long An shouted: "Don't you say it soon?" The queen and I are one, why should I guard against her? ”
The big eunuch smiled bitterly: "It's not the queen mother, how bold is the slave and maid, dare to be so presumptuous?" It's just that I'm just afraid that there will be a dirty lady and a noble ear...... "But seeing that Emperor Long An was getting more and more impatient, he hurriedly said: "According to the investigation of the CRRC Fuwei, it was Jia Zhen who saw Jia Qiang's extreme handsomeness, and after getting drunk with Jia Qiang, he started to rise to Longyang, but for some reason, Jia Qiang, who was originally drunk, suddenly woke up and escaped from Ning Mansion. This matter is not a secret in the world of Rongning Erfu, especially in Ningfu, when I saw Jia Zhen ordering people to chase Jia Qiang that night, there were not three or five people. ”
Emperor Long An's face was gloomy when he heard this, and Empress Yin also scolded: "What is good for the next thing is really shameless!" ”
Emperor Long An had other thoughts in his heart, so he diverted from this place and asked, "So, is it really just a chance encounter today?" ”
The big eunuch nodded and said, "The slave and maid are eighty percent sure, but they just met by chance." ”
Emperor Long An frowned and asked, "What is the reason for the other two percent?" ”
The big eunuch's face also gradually became solemn and said: "According to the reports of the people below, Jia Qiang has recently been in contact with Feng Ziying of the Shenwu General's Mansion, and since he escaped from the Ning Mansion, he has met twice. However, it was not a solo relationship, and there were also Jia Baoyu, the son of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan, the queen of the Xue family, and Jiang Yuhan, a famous singer in the capital. Long live the lord, Jia Baoyu of Rongguo Mansion and Xue Pan of the Xue family are nothing, but they are just idiots and idiots. Feng Ziying has a close relationship with Ning Wangfu, and Jiang Yuhan is not simple, he is called the pet of the prince of Zhongshun, but he is also close to the water prince and has a friendship with Feng Ziying. Although the possibility of Jia Qiang and Feng Ziying colluding is very small, it cannot be completely ruled out. ”
Hearing this, in the face of the current chaotic situation, Emperor Long An's face was extremely solemn.
If it's just a chance encounter, then the matter is not serious.
If it is intentional, it means that there is a fine net in the secret, and it can be arranged to play the emperor in the palm of his hand.
It's horrible!
If Li Hui's strength reached this point, he would already be able to really threaten him.
Empress Yin's face also became solemn, the forces involved in this are too chaotic and too mixed, the more this is the case, the easier it is to fish in troubled waters.
However, at this moment, I suddenly saw the big eunuch in a big red python dragon robe hurriedly coming, knelt down and handed over a fold in his hand, and said softly: "Long live the lord, the urgent delivery from Jiuhua Palace." ”
"Bring it on!"
Emperor Long An said in a deep voice, Empress Yin personally took it, presented it to Emperor Long An, and stood behind him.
Emperor Long An opened a thick fold, looked at it at a glance and ten lines at a very fast speed, and there was a little more sneer on his face.
It's just that as time goes by, Emperor Long An's speed of flipping through the folds is getting slower and slower, and the smile on his face gradually condenses, and when he sees the last four words: "I like you", his pupils suddenly contracted like a needle!
Jia Qiang'er is nothing, but what he said obviously had a great impact on Emperor Taishang, otherwise, what emperor would praise a foreign minister so bluntly?
However, if the Emperor Taishang thinks that what the ignorant child said is reasonable, the matter will be in big trouble......
