Chapter 128: Letter to the Family and Leaving Yanzhou
After finishing the recital, Qi Tai asked: "Your Highness, there has been a messenger reporting that the three guards appointed by His Majesty King Lu and the officials of Yanzhou Mansion will arrive this afternoon, when will Your Highness leave for the northern tour?" ”
Yun Xi said: "I will leave tomorrow, and I don't want to stay in Yanzhou." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qi Tai asked again: "Who will take care of the affairs of Yanzhou Mansion temporarily?" ”
Yun Xi thought for a while and said: "Now that it has not been found that Qiao Yi is involved in corruption, let him temporarily take the position of the prefect of Yanzhou, but he cannot be allowed to deal with the corruption case." ”
Qi Tai promised, and then went down to prepare for the handover of affairs in Ziyang County.
Not long after lunch, the officials of various yamen in Yanzhou appointed by Lao Zhu arrived in Yanzhou City. Yun Xi met with these officials at the Yamen of King Lu Sanwei, and said to them very solemnly: "You should know the reason why the yamen in Yanzhou have changed so much. Such a major corruption case, since the founding of the dynasty has been second only to the empty seal case, I hope that all my Ming officials will take this as a warning, do not repeat the mistakes of the past, and know that the law is not merciful. Then let them take their places and take care of them.
Then Yun Xi happily said to an official who had not left: "Lian Qing, you are finally here." ”
Lian Zining saluted and said: "Your Highness, things are chaotic in the capital, and it took two days for the minister to complete the handover with Jingqing, and he only came to Yanzhou Mansion today. ”
Yun Xi joked with him: "It's really uncomfortable to be without you by your side these days; Although Qi Tai is not a rigid person, he is very businesslike; Qin Song didn't talk much; Guo Zhen and others didn't know how to get along with Lone in private. ”
Lian Zining feigned anger and said, "Your Highness treats me as a good lady or something? The minister is not intended. Then he laughed.
Yun Xi also smiled. Then Yun Xi told him about what was happening in the capital these days.
Lian Zining said: "Your Highness, after receiving the letter from His Highness, the Holy Lord immediately sent the governor of the Lu Palace, Shi Jianjia, to ask him about it. The governor of the Lu Wangfu couldn't answer, and the saint ordered him to be detained and his house was raided, and there were a lot of jewelry and antiques on top of the money. ”
"Your Majesty ordered the governor of the Lu Palace, Shi Peel the Skin, to be executed, and the rest of the family to be exiled to Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan. His Majesty also called His Royal Highness King Lu to his side and said a few words, and reappointed the head of King Lu's mansion. ”
"Also, the Duke of Xinguo died on the day of Wuchen, and His Majesty imitated the King of Kaiping, the King of Jining, and the King of Qianning to mourn, and personally mourned, posthumously crowned the King of Dongou and Xiangwu."
Yun Xi couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard the news. By the time Tang He died, all the dukes and earls that Lao Zhu had canonized in the third year of Hongwu, except for Geng Bingwen, had all passed away. (Guo Ying, Cao Zhen and others were later knighted.) The generation of military generals in the East has withered, and I hope that their juniors can play the same reputation as their predecessors.
Then Yun Xi Yu Lian Zining talked about other things in the capital. When the matter was finished, Yun Xi wanted to go back to the place where he was staying, but at this time, Chain Zining took out a letter, didn't speak, and handed it to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi took it, and then Lian Zining saluted.
Yun Xi was inexplicable. He walked back as he opened the envelope. When I opened it, it looked up and wrote: Concubine Xue Xiyao bows her head.
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked a few steps back to his bedroom, unfolded the entire letter and looked at it.
Xi Yao didn't have anything to do in the letter, but said that she was now handing over the palace affairs of Wenhua Palace to her sister Xiyi to take care of, and she was now concentrating on the fetus, and she had the imperial doctor to check her pulse every day, and she met Wen Ying and others, as well as Meng Shengshang, Guo Ningfei and others summoned and other things, all of which were family trivialities. At the end, he wrote: 'Mo Shang Blossoms. ’
Xi Yao wrote this letter with her own idea. Because although she didn't dare to cross it in the Wenhua Palace, she felt Yun Xi's love for her, like a family member; Lao Zhu is also quite kind, especially after she is pregnant; The others didn't dare to take a stand in front of her, they were all kind or respectful. Yun Xi himself is also good-looking, so that Xi Yao, who is only fifteen years old, is lost in such a life, and he pays his sincerity to Yun Xi.
Therefore, Xiyao wrote such a letter to Yunxi according to the situation of her parents, and asked Lian Zining to send it on her behalf.
If it were other emperors or quasi-emperors, Xiyao's final outcome would inevitably be to be sincerely shown to the blind and then deposed, or to be disheartened and completely caught up in the struggle for power in the harem. But who made Yunxi a traverser.
Yun Xi was very disgusted with the cruel political struggles of the harem of the past dynasties, and after marrying the Xue sisters, he considered several times whether to no longer admit newcomers to the palace; Although I have not yet fully decided to give up an entire forest for two trees, I still like this situation of harmony between husband and wife.
So Yun Xi was very moved after reading Xi Yao's letter. Especially the last 'Mo Shang Blossom', which is a subtle expression of his thoughts!
He began to write back: 'Is there anything troublesome in the palace? Now is the time for you to raise a baby, don't worry about everything, let Xiyi take care of it; If there is something in the Xue family, wait for the husband to return to Beijing......
Yun Xi wrote a lot of babbling, until the whole piece of paper was finished, and he found another piece of paper and wrote: "Although Lone doesn't read much, he has heard this sentence; May my husband and wife be like King Qian Wusu and Queen Wu in this life. ’
Then he took an envelope, folded the stationery, put it in and sealed it, and pasted a piece of paper that read: "My wife opens it herself."
Then he put on an envelope, put this envelope in and sealed it, and called the little eunuch who accompanied him to come over and say: "Stamp this letter with the seal of Lone, and then send it to the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei (Jilu) and the commander of Jinwu Guard Xue Jia." The little eunuch was ordered to go to the post station.
Then Yun Xi read Xi Yao's letter a few more times before dealing with other things.
The next morning, the handover of the affairs of the various yamen had been completed, and everyone was asked to pack up and set off from the north gate to continue the northern tour.
Qiao Yi, the acting governor of Yanzhou, and the new commander of the Lu Wang Sanwei Zuowei, and the former commander of Wu Dewei, Chu Zhen (Chapter 45), saw off Yun Xi on behalf of the officials of the various yamen in Yanzhou.
Yun Xi saw that Chu Zhen was an acquaintance, and chatted with him for a few words.
Then a formal send-off ceremony was held, and Yun Xi finished answering with them, and officially set off to continue the northern tour.

On August 14, the capital Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Xie Cheng listened to the report of his subordinates and said, "I know, you did a good job, go down." His men bowed and withdrew.
When his subordinates retreated, Xie Cheng's face suddenly changed, he leaned back on the back of the chair, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "My hard-working child." "It turns out that Cao Yu is his illegitimate son! (To be continued.) )
