Chapter 399: News Returns
Tang Ning, Zhao Man and others stood at the gate of the Splendid Palace, and the street was full of endless pedestrians.
Today is the day of the funeral of Emperor Chu, from the imperial palace to the imperial mausoleum outside Kyoto, the funeral procession is dozens of miles long.
Compared with the funerals of the emperors of the previous dynasties, the people and the money were wasted, and the construction was carried out in a big way, according to the edict, the funeral of the Chu Emperor was carried out from Jane.
From today onwards, King Xin will be the absolute orthodox emperor of the Chu State.
The army of the rebels will also depart in two days' time, and the mission will be ready to follow them.
Wan Yan Yan looked left and right, and when the funeral procession passed by, on both sides of the street, from time to time, some people couldn't help crying loudly, and said: "These people like the emperor of Chu very much. ”
The two brothers of King Xin, both of whom are rare male lords, made the state of Chu rise in disadvantage, and in terms of political talent alone, the two of them far surpassed Emperor Chen.
Emperor Chen can only be regarded as the "King of Shoucheng", but the late Emperor Chu can be regarded as the "Lord of Zhongxing".
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "After you go back in a while, pack up your things, and we'll be leaving in two days." ”
"I can finally go home...... Wan Yan Yan nodded, her face showed a hint of nostalgia again, and sighed: "It's so good here, how good would it be if the grassland and them didn't fight?" ”
After staying in the Han place for a long time, wearing Han clothes, eating Han food, and speaking the language of Han people, Wan Yanyan's wildness gradually disappeared, and occasionally became sentimental.
Even Tang Ning was influenced by her, even though Chu had the people he wanted to see and the noodles he wanted to eat, the status of his family could never be replaced.
On the day of Emperor Chu's death, he had already sent a fast horse back to Beijing to deliver the message, which was an urgent order, and it should have been sent to Beijing now, I don't know if Xiaoru Xiaoyi and they have received the news......
Chen Guojingshi, the early dynasty is coming to an end.
Qian Shuo, the secretary of the household department, hugged the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, the household department has cleared all the accounts, this year the wind and rain are smooth, there are no natural disasters, and the tax revenue in the first half of the year is one percent more than in previous years." ”
"Good." Emperor Chen nodded and asked, "What else do you want to play?" ”
Lu Ding, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the minister inspected the treasury department and found that there were not a few old and worn ordnance in the warehouse. ”
"Don't be sloppy when it comes to armaments." Chen Huang thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
After the military department was still in the book, there were two more imperial historians who impeached the private lives of some officials in the court, but they were all trivial matters, and after a while, seeing that no one was out of the ranks, Emperor Chen said: "Since there is no one to play again, let's retire from the court today......
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the state of Chu is in a hurry!" ”
"Chu State is in a hurry?" Emperor Chen had already sat up and was about to retreat, but when he heard the words, he sat back again.
When the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee heard this, they immediately cheered up.
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, the mission escorted Princess Pingyang to marry, and it has been half a year since she left, except for the beginning, there were envoys who couldn't stand the bumps in the road and were sent back to Beijing due to illness, there was no news.
At this time, he sent a hurry, afraid that something big would happen.
Chen Huang held the dragon chair with both hands and said, "What a hurry, read." ”
"Yes." The eunuch opened the secret fold and immediately said: "Minister Tang Ningqi: The minister received the emperor's favor, served as a marriage envoy, and sent an envoy to the ...... of the state of Chu, but there was an unforeseen situation, on the fifth day of the seventh month, the emperor of Chu died, and the edict passed on to the emperor to be located in the king of Xin, and the prince was deposed for rebellion and ......."
When the eunuch said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice was already trembling.
"What!" Chen Huang sat up from the dragon chair abruptly.
The hundreds of officials in the court and the central government were also wide-eyed and shocked.
The mission is to send the princess to marry, the person who married is the prince of Chu, now the Chu emperor died, the prince rebelled and was abolished, the marriage was ruined, Chen State envoys have something to do, I don't know......
Lu Ding, the secretary of the Ministry of War, changed his face slightly, Tang Jing, the scholar of the Middle School, showed concern on his face, Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was expressionless, and the faces of the rest of the people were shocked and incredulous.
Chen Huang looked down and said in a deep voice: "There is more!" ”
The eunuch shuddered for a moment, and after looking at it, he immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Chu State has suffered a great change, the marriage has been destroyed, and Lord Tang is preparing to escort the princess back to Beijing." ”
Hearing that the mission was fine, Lu Ding and Tang Jing's faces softened, and Emperor Chen sat down again and said, "Submit it." ”
The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and presented the fold.
Emperor Chen opened the fold, looked at it carefully, and put it aside.
The sudden death of the Chu Emperor, the situation in the Chu State changed greatly, and it was almost a reversal, although it did not have much impact on the Chen State, but in the long run, it was not very beneficial to the Chen State.
Now that the marriage has failed and King Xin ascends the throne, the state of Chu will undoubtedly be stronger and more prosperous, which is not what he wants to see, it is foreseeable that the state of Chu will rise at a faster speed, surpassing the state of Chen, just around the corner.
However, these are a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, Emperor Chen glanced at the three princes below, was inexplicably bored, waved his hand, and said, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
Hundreds of officials walked out of the hall one after another, with different complexions.
The sudden death of Emperor Chu surprised them in their hearts.
After the death of Emperor Chu, the extraordinary act of deposing the crown prince and passing on the throne to the king is even more surprising.
But what is even more puzzling is that the dignified three-yuan champion, how can it really be the same as a broom star, and something will happen wherever he goes?
As soon as he entered the household department, he killed the waiter, and the waiter of the criminal department is still in prison because of him, and what happened to the three Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites has long been spread in the court......
This trip to the state of Chu was even more terrifying, escorting the princess to marry the prince, and as a result, the prince was deposed, and the emperor of Chu died, ...... even the officials in the court who did not believe in these nihilistic sayings, their hearts were also a little shaken.
Tang House.
Su Ru held Zhongyi's hand and said happily: "Brother Xiao Ning is coming back!" ”
A brisk figure flashed in from outside the door, Xiao Xiao looked at them, and asked eagerly, "Is my brother back, where is it?" ”
Zhong Yi's heart finally let go, touched her head, and said, "I have to wait a few more months." ”
Su Ru breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This time, Brother Xiao Ning can also bring the princess back safely." ”
Tang Yaoyao walked in from outside the door and said leisurely: "I just don't know if it's one or two ...... brought back."
Xiaoxiao looked up at her and asked, "Sister Yao, aren't you happy that your brother is back?" ”
The corners of Tang Yaoyao's mouth turned up, and he snorted: "He will come back when he comes back, why should I be happy?" ”
Xiao Xiao blinked and asked, "Then what are you laughing at?" ”
Tang Yaoyao was annoyed and ashamed: "Who laughs, and then talk nonsense and spank your ass!" ”
Natural dwelling.
Su Mei was rolling around on the bed with a one-person-tall doll, and Xiao Tao ran in from outside quickly and said, "Miss, your medicine is coming back soon!" ”
"It's going to be at least three months...... Su Mei sat up from the bed, sighed, and said, "I'll go tell my mother." ”
Tang family.
A woman grabbed the hand of the county lord of Anyang and asked, "County lord, you and Shui'er are like sisters, you tell your aunt, where did Shui'er go?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the county lord of Anyang sighed and said, "She went to the Chu State. ”
"Chu State?" The expression on the woman's face was even more worried, and she hurriedly said, "She grew up in Jingshi, where has she been to such a far place......
The county lord of Anyang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, aunt, she is coming back!" ”
She comforted the woman for a long time before she walked out of the Tang Mansion.
When she sat in the sedan chair, she relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
The news that the emperor of Chu died, the crown prince was deposed, and the princess of Pingyang and the embassy returned to Beijing on the same day, she also just knew, and she was even more shocked than everyone.
Because she was a participant in something, she knew better than everyone what was going on.
She leaned against the sedan chair, with a look of disbelief on her face, and muttered, "He actually did it......"
