Chapter 149: Full of Fatherly Love
Staying awake in the middle of the night and meditating in the most remote part of the house? King Zheng didn't believe it at all, and then understood that it must be Yang Shiqi's old man who stepped in sideways, Zhang Ning couldn't marry two at the same time, and his beloved daughter couldn't accept it. Come to think of it, how can there be any other woman besides the county lord?
"Youyou, you don't have to be sad, my father will go tomorrow to ask His Majesty to withdraw the family affairs of the Zhang and Yang families." King Zheng made up his mind. For the sake of loving his daughter, even if he is heavily blamed and loses the emperor's heart, what is it? The beloved daughter is the first, and the rest are in the back row.
"Father, it's not what you think. Now that it's late at night, you can rest first, and we'll go to the ashram tomorrow and you'll understand. Yoyo said calmly.
King Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go and see it together tomorrow morning." ”
After a leisurely salute and retired, King Zheng asked the little eunuch to send her back. It was the little eunuch who was the one with a long middle and a short chin.
The little eunuch walked beside Youyou with his waist bent, the position was just right, and the light of the gas death lantern just illuminated the road in front of Youyou, but he didn't cross Youyou.
After walking for a while, he said leisurely: "What is your name, and when did you enter the palace?" ”
She left King Zheng's Mansion and came to the capital for less than a year, and she had never seen this little eunuch, so she could let her father take her with her, which shows trust, how did this person do it?
"If you go back to the county lord, the slave's name is Deng Zhicheng, because he knows a few words, he has the blue eyes of the prince, and he waits by the prince's side." The little eunuch Deng Zhicheng said respectfully.
"If you know how to read, why do you purify yourself?" Only children from poor families can be clean and literate, and the situation of the family is certainly not bad.
Deng Zhicheng said: "The slave's father was a scholar of the son of the gentry when he was young, and he knew a few words, and he was still alive when the slave was a child. The word of the slave is what he taught. When the slave was ten years old, he died of illness, and his mother's grief was too great, and the slave had to be cleansed. ”
Ten years old, it has been several years now, if she enters King Zheng's mansion, why hasn't she seen it? Youyou was even more suspicious in his heart, and didn't ask again.
Eunuchs can also be used in the vassal king's mansion, but there is a quota, and it is precisely because it is limited, so it is strict, and there are several eunuchs in the mansion, and it is very clear to you.
It has been nearly four watches since she returned to the boudoir, and while she was cleaning up under the service of the pothos, she instructed: "Find a side room in the courtyard next to the back door, clean it, and hang a portrait of Guanyin." ”
The pothos didn't ask the reason, so she went out and ordered her own maid to clean it overnight.
It was late at night, lying on the bed but couldn't sleep, just thinking about Zhang Ning's deep love, I couldn't help myself, until the window paper revealed a white light, and then I fell asleep hazy.
She slept until midnight, and when she woke up, King Zheng was already waiting in the hall, but she felt sorry for her beloved daughter, and she couldn't bear to let the maid wake her up. After washing and changing clothes and eating, the father and daughter came to the back door with a large group of servants.
About a stone's throw from the back door there was a small courtyard that had been empty. Last night the maid was ordered to come to clean, at this time the lock was opened, the small courtyard was spotless, pushed open the door of the hall, only to see a picture of Guanyin holding a clean bottle hanging in the middle, and the Guanyin in the painting looked down on all beings with a compassionate face.
This painting is a famous family painting, and the pothos was ordered to be typed out of the library and hung overnight.
On the incense table in front of the portrait, a delicate incense burner is placed, and there are a few sticks of burnt sandalwood in the furnace. There is a plain brocade mat in front of the incense table, and there is nothing else.
King Zheng stood at the door of the hall for a while, full of doubts: "You usually have nothing to do here to worship the Buddha?" "Could it be that my beloved daughter has been wronged in Beijing? The queen mother dotes on her so much, and the emperor treats her like a sister, who dares to give her grievances?
"Yes, Father, please." As he spoke, he walked inside, came to the incense table, and bowed reverently to the portrait of Guanyin, before turning around and saying, "Father, please take a seat." ”
The servant maid, who had already been interested, brought an identical brocade mat and put it at the bottom.
"Yoyo, whoever gives you grievances, you tell your father, and your father will definitely give you anger." King Zheng sat down and said in pain. The baby was wronged, so that he could only tell Guanyin, is this okay?
"What did the father say? Since her daughter came to the capital, she was deeply loved by the imperial grandmother, and the royal brother treated her daughter like the three princesses, how could she be wronged? Since hearing that her father had entered Beijing, her daughter set up a quiet room here to support Guanyin Bodhisattva, and a pillar of incense in the morning and evening to pray for her father's safety all the way. ”
It turned out that he prayed for me for peace, and King Zheng was greatly moved, and said, "Good daughter, it's really difficult for you." ”
"Last night, my daughter couldn't sleep, so she didn't alarm her maidservant, so she quietly came here, put a pillar of incense on the Bodhisattva, meditated for a while, and met her father when she went back."
"I see." King Zheng was finally relieved and said, "It's okay." ”
Yoyo smiled back. The father and daughter talked here until it was just after noon, when King Zheng's stomach growled, and then he got up and went back to the main hall to eat together.
…………
Gessel took all the people who came to pay tribute, went out of the capital, galloped day and night, and the cattle and sheep died of illness and were thrown away, but in less than an hour, the captain of the Jinyi Guard came to the door and immediately forced him to bury the cattle and sheep, otherwise he would not be released.
Gessel and his entourage were more than 2,000 people. There were only two lieutenants in Jinyiwei, but he didn't dare to disobey. He knew very well that if he didn't bury the sick and dead cattle and sheep according to the requirements of the captain of the Jinyi Guard, it would really be difficult to move an inch.
Because the captain of the Jinyi Guard showed his waist card, with this waist card, he could ask the magistrate to cooperate, and he could mobilize the local people, and they entered the customs as messengers, and all bows and arrows and weapons would be deducted.
Without bows and arrows, they were like big worms without teeth, and they had no choice but to do so when they were outnumbered.
Gessel was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, how many commanders were ordered to come to pay tribute, who was like them this time? Just make all the traps not to mention, but also everywhere restricted.
Gessel repeatedly negotiated whether he wanted to return to Batu, and the temple was surrounded by the sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he didn't leave, but he was watched all the way, which made him so angry that he vomited blood.
After burying five sheep and one ox again, Gessel sent a few retinues to drive the cattle and sheep away, and then ordered his men to mount their horses and gallop away. It didn't care about a few entourages and those thin cattle and sheep that the Ming court had left.
Without these burdens, the group traveled day and night, and it only took a few days to arrive in Datong.
These days, the subordinates who received his orders and gathered somewhere outside Datong City have been terrified and hidden, afraid that something will happen, especially when they meet Daniel Zhang, and even more so when they are attacked.
Thankfully, there were no surprises.
Seeing the arrival of the large army, these people were overjoyed, and they were very puzzled when they did not see Batu. Gessel didn't explain, and said, "Get up and go out of the customs immediately." ”
Today's Ming Court is very different from the past, and it is necessary to hurry out of the customs and inform the Taishi of the news.
