Chapter 289: The Emperor's Great Trip

9429 Chapter 289 The Emperor's Great Trip

The courtyard is still as dilapidated as ever, and the weeping willows outside the courtyard are neatly arranged along the winding canal, and the tender green branches quietly hang down into the water, swaying with the waves, like a sympathetic hand caressing the cheeks.

In the back hall of the courtyard, Yang Cheng was honestly kneeling on the white jade floor, and was reporting the recent situation in Beijing to the owner behind the bead curtain.

"The prince was defeated.

The owner behind the beaded curtain sighed long.

"Yes, Lord. In the first battle of Shenlie Mountain, more than 80,000 people of the prince's private army were annihilated, and the emperor decreed that all the rebels were slaughtered and refused to surrender. In addition, there are more than 50,000 border troops under the Chaimengshan Department of Youzhou in collusion with the prince. Also on the north bank of the Yangtze River was surrounded by the Xiazhou border army, Chai Mengshan led his troops to break through, and the remaining more than 20,000 people fled north into the Turkic steppe. ”

"Humph! Good means! So vicious! The prince's scheming is deep enough, but compared to the emperor, it is still worse than the heat,"

"Lord," Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, this time the prince rebelled, and the emperor stuck to the divine martyr's work. At the top, it is "Fang Zheng" who can really mobilize the border army of Xiazhou, seize the power of the capital's city defense, and even transfer troops to help the emperor! ”

"Is that him?" Behind the bead curtain, the master's tone was a little surprised: "How could it be him?" That scoundrel who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to only steal chickens and dogs? ”

"Yes, Lord. The subordinates did not dare to hide anything. It is said that this rebellion against the crown prince was planned by the emperor in advance. Fang Zheng has contributed a lot to this. ”

Stunned for a long time, behind the bead curtain, the master thoughtfully: "A businessman and a pariah, the appearance jumps out of frivolity, and the prince's defeat is because of this person" It seems that I have to look at him again, fortunately, I did not participate in the rebellion in the capital, and it was right to decide to plan and then act

After a pause, the master said lightly: "What else is there news in the capital?" ”

"After the counterinsurgency. The ministers of the prince's party in the court were all purged. Or degrade or behead, the emperor has officially decreed that King Fu was canonized as the crown prince, and the country was supervised on the same day, and at the same time it was confirmed that King Shou wanted to plot misdeeds, and the emperor had cut off King Shou from the prince, demoted him to the common people, and distributed Lingnan. The British king's domain was changed to Qiongzhou, and he left Beijing to become a feudal domain within a time limit

"Degrading the princes and ministers, driving them away, he is paving the way for King Fu to ascend the throne" The master sighed: "The emperor is seriously ill, is the deadline approaching?" ”

"Yes, the early court has stopped in the past few days, and I heard that the emperor is bedridden in the dormitory, and his mind has been in a coma several times, and the palace Shangli Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites in the court have begun to prepare for the funeral."

"He", after counting a good emperor bead curtain, the master's tone was a little complicated: only, it's a pity. Bad luck, vain life and inaction, makes people sigh

Yang Cheng hung his head, kneeling and not daring to say a word.

"Where's the curling?"

"She has successfully lurked beside King Fu, but she reported that King Fu seems to be suspicious of her and is quite guarded."

"Then let her continue to lurk and win the trust of King Fu, and I will be of great use when it is critical."

"Yes, Lord."

"It seems that I have to leave for a trip back to the capital." The host sighed softly.

"Ahh Help me hand over the tea on the table, I want to "No, the baby in my belly is going to drink water" Changping leaned lazily on the recliner, one of the two maids beat her legs, and the other pinched her shoulders. Like a parasite, he happily enjoys the attendants of the people around him.

Fang Zheng was dialing the abacus beads, calculating the prince's family property, and the little emperor ordered him to hand over all the dirty silver obtained when he copied the prince's mansion to the national treasury, but what kind of person is Fang Zheng? If you want me to hand it in, I'll hand it in, so I'm not working in vain? So, in this. On a sunny spring day, the husband and wife sat in the courtyard, leaning comfortably on the recliner and basking in the lazy sun, while Fang Zheng dialed the abacus beads, concentrating on what to hand in. Which ones are intercepted, and which ones will disappear inexplicably in the end, the husband and wife are still and moving. A stark contrast.

Fang Zheng was sweating profusely, raised his head, and glanced at Changping: "Your cup of tea is only half a foot away from you." You can reach out and get it, so you don't have to work hard to bring it to you personally, right? ”

Changping pursed his lips coquettishly: "But, the baby in my belly said that he wanted to drink the tea that his father brought him,"

Fang Zheng's face was ** for a moment, and finally stood up, handed the tea cup on the desk to Changping, Changping took it happily, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, which was very cute.

Fang Zheng glanced at Changping's still flat belly, and said with a malicious smile: "Tell the baby in your belly, if you want to be less beaten by your father after birth, give me some peace now, and there will be fewer moths, otherwise Lao Tzu will bounce his little ** into swelling."

"you! Is there a father like you? Changping punched him angrily and hatefully:

"Our son will definitely be in the future and will be much more prosperous than you."

Fang Zheng blinked and smiled: "How do you know that it must be a son?" ”

Changping raised his little face. Very confidently hummed: "A woman's intuition, if I say he is a son, he must be a son!" ”

Look at how domineering this princess is, even the gender of the child is set to death, where can God be reasonable?

Fang Zheng was a little worried. Worried about the women compatriots in the capital, if Changping really gave birth to a son, his father is a powerful second-class minister and hereditary loyal and brave marquis, and his wife is the princess of the Hua Dynasty, and his grandfather is the richest businessman in the Hua Dynasty, his grandfather "Alas, his grandfather is an emperor, and his fat uncle will soon become the emperor, how will he get it when he grows up in the future?" Born in such a super dream family that is extremely wealthy, gathering wealth and power at the pinnacle, damn it! Isn't this little beast turned the world upside down? In the future, an ignorant and poor girl with a big belly will come to the door to play him responsible, should I praise him for picking up girls, or beat him to death?

Tsk, eggs and...

Since Changping conceived a child, he has become more domineering than before. As a wife, she was pregnant with the first child of the Fang family, and since then, the position of the eldest woman of the Fang family has become more and more solid and unshakable, and it has also gone to her long-standing heart disease, a woman marries her husband, if she does not give birth to a boy and half a girl to her husband's family, no matter how noble her identity is. Behind the scenes, you always have to be laughed at.

Now Changping can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, and the depression of more than half a year has been swept away, and the little pretty face is full of satisfied smiles, and he enjoys the attentive waiters of the people very calmly.

Standing up, Changping twisted his waist slightly, sighed comfortably, stretched his waist, looked like a child, but said proudly: "It's so tiring to lie down, husband, walk around with me, but."

Fang Zheng gritted her teeth with hatred, how could she be walking, it was clearly the heart of the Manfang Mansion, showing off that she was only a hero of the Fang family, enjoying the praise of the people under the Fang family and the curtain light. Then he lingered intoxicated to his father's side, continued to accept his father's praise and gratitude, and finally in the praise and gratitude, with a satisfied look. Float back to her little heart, anyway, that's how she came over these days, unreasonable ancient woman!

"Hey, Shi'er. I said would you like to stop a bit, okay?. Fang Zheng had a bitter face, looking at the smug expression that Changping had changed before he went out, and he had the urge to press her to the bed and rip off her pants and pull **"

"No, you often say, you have to move around often, and the baby will be healthy when it is born in the future" Changping stubbornly wrinkled his nose.

With such an old lady on the stall, if the child in the belly knows, he will be ashamed of himself, right?

"Even if it's walking. You don't have to look like this, do you? It's only been two months, why do you have to make your belly so obvious? Not afraid to bend your waist? Fang Zheng was very unimpressed with this fake pot-bellied woman.

"Yes! How do others know I'm pregnant with a baby? ”

“”

Fang Zheng sighed heavily.

A pregnant woman is a demon, and there are still eight months left, how can she live this day?

I looked at the sky. It was already dusk, Fang Zheng carefully supported Changping, and some of the subordinates and guards of the Fang Mansion opened the way in front. Part of it was at the end of the back hall, and a group of people began to wander around the Fang Mansion in a mighty way, knowing that this was the young lady of the Fang family walking, and those who didn't know thought it was the queen mother's trip, and the pomp was ridiculously big.

The net walked to the small porch by the garden, but saw Steward Sun leading Gonggong Cao in the palace in front of him to hurriedly walk towards them. Father-in-law Cao was full of anxiety and stumbled, Fang Zheng and Changping saw this, the husband and wife glanced at each other, and their hearts gradually sank to the bottom.

"Your Highness the Princess. Master Fang, hurry, hurry! Before the emperor announced that the two Cao Gonggong had entered the palace, they shouted at the top of their voices.

"Father-in-law Cao, what's going on? But the emperor, "the emperor", Fang Zheng had an ominous feeling in his heart.

Gonggong Cao sighed, shook his head and said nothing, his expression extremely sad.

"Father" Changping screamed sadly, and tears couldn't stop flowing. The body was unsteady and swayed slightly.

Fang Zheng hurriedly reached out to support her, turned around and ordered, "Quick!" Spare car".

The carriage drove out of Fang's mansion quickly, running towards the palace, the forbidden army checked the waist card, Fang Zheng and Changping ordered the carriage to go straight to the inner palace, and the car arrived at the square in front of the Jinjian Palace, Fang Zheng helped Changping get out of the carriage, and the two hurriedly ran to the emperor's bedroom.

Tonight's palace was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and the guards of the forbidden army were much stricter than before. Countless soldiers of the forbidden army patrolled back and forth with spears and swords in their hands, watching the slightest movement around them in fear, killing and killing as if they were facing a great enemy.

Fang Zheng took Changping's hand, looking at the much stricter guards in the palace than usual, his heart became heavier and heavier, while he was anxious to see the emperor, and on the other hand, he was worried that Changping was pregnant, and running fast would have an impact on the child in his belly, and he was embarrassed for a while.

The two rushed to the door of the dormitory and saw that the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty had all arrived. Regardless of whether the ministers were really sad in their hearts or not, their expressions were all painful and sad. The crowd gathered outside the temple gate in groups of three or five. It's whispering.

Seeing that Fang Zheng and Changping arrived, all the ministers saluted one after another, Fang Zheng didn't care about returning the salute, pulled a minister, and asked urgently: "What about the emperor?" What happened to him? ”

The minister shook his head and sighed: "After nightfall, the emperor suddenly vomited blood, and then fell into a coma. Just wake up. The imperial doctor said, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight."

Fang Zheng and Changping were like being struck by lightning, and they were stunned for a while, and then Fang Zheng stomped his feet, grabbed Changping and rushed to the palace.

The minister hurriedly shouted behind him: "Lord Fang, the emperor is now summoning the crown prince, don't go in yet, Xiao."

Fang Zhengli didn't pay attention to it. Ran to the front of the dormitory, but saw that the forbidden soldiers had surrounded the dormitory, two lieutenants held swords at the door of the palace, seeing Fang Zheng and Changping rushing regardless of manners, the two lieutenants raised their swords to stop each other, and said coldly: "No one is allowed to enter without an edict, and the offender will be beheaded!" ”

Fang Zheng pointed at the deputy general and scolded: "See clearly, don't you even know Lao Tzu?" Who gave you the audacity to stop me and the princess? Don't want to die? ”

The adjutant general kept a straight face. Repeat in a cold voice: "If you don't obey the edict, no one will enter, and the offender will be beheaded!" ”

Changping cried. Pulling Fang Zheng's sleeve, he said sadly: "Husband, I must see my father for the last time."

Fang Zheng's heart was full of anger, and the evil young man's temper suddenly raised his head, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu will step in from this door today." Dare to stop me, you try, Lao Tzu will kill your whole family! Su'er, follow me".

Saying that, Fang Zheng pulled his legs and wanted to break in.

The adjutant general furrowed his eyebrows and shouted: "Forbidden army, be on guard."

"Huh!" Countless spears were neatly laid flat, aimed at Fang Zheng and Changping.

Fang Zheng's eyebrows furrowed. After laughing a few times, he was about to speak, but he saw the door of the dormitory open from the inside, and the fat man stood at the door with a gloomy face, glaring at the deputy general of the forbidden army, and said coldly: "What is the noise!" ”

When the ministers guarding outside the palace saw the fat man come out, they saluted one after another, and they couldn't help but look into the palace with suspicious faces.

When Fang Zheng saw the fat man, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the fat man walked to the two of them. sighed and said to Changping: "Forget your son, your father summoned you, you can go in." ”

Changping hurriedly wiped his tears, pulled his legs and ran inside.

Fang Zheng was about to follow Changping in, but the fat man stopped him: "Brother Fang, you accompany me to wait outside for a while, and the emperor will summon you later."

Fang Zheng nodded silently. The emperor is about to die, his thoughts are very chaotic at the moment, his mood is very sad, the scenes of getting along with the emperor in the past, like a movie, appear back and forth in his mind, the emperor laughs at him, is angry with him, connives, and even guards against him, the sea flashes. In Fang Zheng's heart. The identity of the emperor has long since faded, and he is just an elder who is sometimes kind and sometimes stern. He has the joys, angers and preferences of ordinary people, as well as the stubbornness and stubbornness of ordinary people, and now, this elder is about to die, Fang Zheng feels as if his heart is blocked by something, and he is so uncomfortable that he can't speak.

The fat man's eyes were a little red and swollen, it seemed that he was crying a lot in the dormitory just now, he stood beside Fang Zheng and raised his head. Looking at the stars in the night sky, silently distracted. After a long time, the fat man said softly: "When I was a child, my father told me that every emperor is the Ziwei Star in the sky, and he is the messenger sent by the Heavenly Court to the world, and he manages the living beings in the world on behalf of the Heavenly Court, and after the old emperor dies, his soul will be taken up by the Heavenly Court and returned to the Ziwei Star Palace, and then the new Star Monarch will descend to the earth to take over the position of the old emperor and continue to manage the people."

The more the fat man spoke, the more choked his voice became: "I was young at the time." I don't know what my father is taxing, but when I grew up, my father didn't laugh at it. I respected him, I was afraid of him, and I didn't dare to approach him, but I never thought that my father was just an old man. A lonely old man who needs the company of his children, to serve, when I understand. It's too late, the son wants to raise but the parent is not there, the father is him, he

The fat man said, tears couldn't stop falling, and finally he couldn't stop crying.

Fang Zheng patted him on the shoulder, opened his mouth to comfort him, but found that he didn't know what to say, and his mood at this moment was no less sad than that of a fat man.

Then. The door of the dormitory opened again, and Changping walked out with tears on his face, and threw himself into Fang Zheng's arms and cried bitterly. After crying for a while, Changping left Fang Zheng's embrace, wiped his tears, and said sadly: "Husband, my father summoned you to come in to talk, you, you go quickly." ”

Fang Zheng's expression froze, he nodded hurriedly at the fat man, and hurriedly walked into the dormitory.

Inside the dormitory. The candlelight was dim, and the emperor was lying on the bed, covered with a thick bright yellow brocade embroidered quilt, and his gray hair was slightly messy, revealing an old and weak face, and he was smiling at Fang Zheng with difficulty.

There were several imperial doctors and eunuchs standing beside him, and Changping's biological mother, Li Guifei, sat on the edge of the bed, hanging her head and silently wiping away her tears.

Looking at the emperor's pale smile, Fang Zheng's heart became more and more uncomfortable. Qiang held back the tears that burst out of his eyes and smiled at the emperor.

The emperor's breathing was already a little short, his chest couldn't help rising and falling, seeing Fang Zheng come in, he patted Li Guifei's hand weakly, Li Guifei glanced at Fang Zheng, nodded at him, and then got up and exited the palace gate.

"Your Majesty. You'll be fine. Fang Zheng looked at the emperor and smiled, his smile was revealed, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped, rolling across his face.

The emperor also smiled, and his smile looked very weak: "See the old look of your hippie smiling face, Lian", Lian is the first time to see you crying, wipe your tears, don't make people laugh. ”

Fang Zheng wiped his tears, sat on the edge of the emperor's bed, and held the emperor's thin and dry hand tightly regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.

The emperor looked at him, with a warm smile in his eyes, and said, "Fang Zheng, Lian is going to die." ”

The emperor's tone was so flat that he seemed to be talking about the weather, and he couldn't hear any emotion at all.

Fang Zheng nodded when he heard this, shook his head again, and tears fell again.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at Fang Zheng and gasped: "Lian called you in to say goodbye to you, and by the way, I will take a good look at you." ”

Fang Zheng burst into tears, but forced himself to smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can hold on for a few more days, you know?" Su'er is pregnant with a child, and you are going to be a grandfather. Don't you want to see what your grandson looks like? ”

The emperor smiled, and there was regret in his eyes: "Lian has heard about it, but unfortunately, I can't wait for the day when my grandson is born,"

Raising his eyes and looking at Fang Zheng, the emperor's expression became more and more serious, and his breathing became more and more intense: "Fang Zheng" should tell you, Lian has told you a lot before, Lian doesn't say much, Lian only has one sentence to tell Jia..."

"Your Majesty, you say."

The emperor's face suddenly turned a little ruddy, and even his mental complexion was much better.

"You have taken a lot of risks and made a lot of contributions for my royal family. My royal family will not treat you badly, and will definitely give you supreme glory and status, but the small "Fang Zheng, Lian hopes that this world will always be the world of my Zhou family, you promise Lian, don't be the minister of the country, otherwise" God will not allow you! ”

The emperor's words were categorical, his eyes were like fire, staring at Fang Zheng scorchingly.

Fang Zheng's heart was cold, then he nodded, and cried: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to assist without illness." He will become famous every day, and I will resign myself. I and Wuxian are not only lifelong kings and ministers, but also lifelong friends, never abandoned, with a beginning and an end. ”

Hearing Fang Zheng's assurance, the emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the whole person collapsed, and said with a long sigh: "That's good, Fang Zheng is cowardly and cowardly, and in the court, I rely on your dedicated assistance, I hope that after a hundred years, you can leave a good story of the monarch and the minister in the history books." ”

As if the burden of his heart had been lifted, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, his breathing became more and more rapid, his chest rose and fell, the phlegm hissed in his throat, the ruddy color on his face gradually faded, and his face became pale again.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng's heart sank, he couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed the emperor's hand and cried.

"Fang" Fang Zheng "Don't cry" You used to "make Lian laugh" Lian often, Lian "Lian ordered you to tell a joke to Lian now, to be funny, to Lian has never heard of it,"

When he was dying, the emperor held Fang Zheng's hand and smiled weakly.

Fang Zheng held back the sadness in his heart, wiped his tears, bent down, leaned into the emperor's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to tell you, Weichen has never told anyone about this matter, you can listen to it as a joke,"

"Hurry" come on. ”

"Actually" Wechen is from the world after a thousand years, after a thousand years, the world has changed a lot, in that world, planes are flying all over the sky, cars are running all over the ground, much faster than we ride horses. The buildings were also taller than they are now, with hundreds of floors. People who are thousands of miles apart can hear each other's voices as long as they dial a few numbers, and "the beautiful women on the streets of that world are only wearing miniskirts." Expose Bai Zhe's tender thighs, bend over slightly, and you can see their ** eggs

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fang Zheng with some surprise. Immediately laughed loudly, as if Fang Zheng had said today's big joke, laughing so that two lines of muddy tears quietly slipped into the corners of his eyes, and the laughter became weaker and weaker. In the end, the emperor closed his eyes and said nothing.

Fang Zheng burst into tears, stood up, and knelt silently in front of the bed to bow down to the emperor. In the dormitory, the dim candlelight shook a few times, and the imperial doctors, eunuchs and palace maids standing in the palace all knelt silently.

The bell tower of the palace rang with bells, and again and again, melodiously echoed over the palace for a long time.

Inside the Royal Palace. The soldiers of the forbidden army patrolling, the eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth, and the civil and military ministers standing outside the palace. Hear the melodious bells, and everything is in the same place. Immediately, everyone understood, and silently knelt down in the direction of the dormitory, prostrate on the ground, and bowed.

Emperor Jianwu of the Chinese Dynasty died in the spring of the thirteenth year of Jianwu.
