Chapter 423 Return to Jiangnan (Finale)
King Yue actually put a knife on the queen mother's neck!
The news soon spread like the wind through the former dynasty and the harem, and early the next morning, many officials gathered not far from Qiupu Xuan, wanting to witness the rare scene of King Yue being brought into the Zongren Mansion by the Jinyi Guard.
To their disappointment, Qiupu Xuan had already been emptied, and the entire imperial city was in order under the supervision of Jiao Jing, the commander of the horses, and there was nothing unusual.
The women in the Forbidden City were rarely collectively excited, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss last night's strange events, and talked about what happened to the Queen Mother, and many of them had a sense of schadenfreude in their tones. As for the cause of the Yue Wang's knife to the queen mother, what the process was, they didn't know at all, so they sent the most astute subordinates one after another, trying every way to find out the news, and every time the subordinates were ordered to go out, they were very much looking forward to it, and every subtle feedback made them like a treasure.
Unfortunately, those who were lucky enough to be present at the scene of the incident had their mouths closed so tightly that the iron tongs could not pry their teeth open. And the party with the most right to speak, the queen mother, has been closed since she returned to the palace. It is said that the queen mother plans to live in seclusion from now on, ignoring the affairs outside the window, and plans to hand over the affairs of the six palaces to the queen Wang.
"Why didn't King Yue kill her? It's so cheap for her! ”
Although the Holy Empress Dowager was a little worried about Zhu Qiming, if Zhu Qiming really made a ruthless move last night, she would still be happy to hear it.
Emperor Jingtai sent the civil and military ministers to the Yongsu Palace, and ordered Xing'an to announce the decree in public.
"King Yue was drunk and had no form, openly held the queen mother hostage, and read that she had contributed to the society, and the death penalty could be avoided, but the living crime could not be escaped. Now he has taken away his title as a prince, removed his name, abolished as a concubine, and his history will not pass on his person. ”
The officials were at a loss. Many people felt sorry for Zhu Qiming, and those officials who always talked about the prince's violation of the rules suddenly found that they seemed to have no personal enmity with Zhu Qiming, and King Yue suddenly became a concubine, which made their hearts empty.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
······
Zhu Qiming galloped alone on the western suburbs path, with a blue sky above his head, humming a little song that he didn't know when he had collected in his heart.
The figure of Emperor Jingtai unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Before leaving, he went to pay respects to his parents' tombs. Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but meet him halfway, "You can order someone to take away those treasures from Yuefu." ”
Zhu Qiming replied: "No." Sister Lu has received a lot of rewards from the queen princess, so it is better to transfer those treasures to the queen princess. ”
Hey, there's blood in there! Emperor Jingtai secretly gritted his teeth, but there was a smile on his face, "I saved a sum of money in the palace of the king of Yu and gave it to you!" ”
Your little silver is only enough to send Hanako, okay? Zhu Qiming felt funny in his heart, but he said sincerely: "No." The common people should have the appearance of ordinary people. ”
Seeing that Emperor Jingtai was a little reluctant, he made a small request: "Thanks to the care of the Holy Empress Dowager for many years, there is nothing to repay in this life. ”
Emperor Jingtai agreed very happily: "It's a trivial matter!" However, you need to have an extra recipe at a time, I want to see what is new. ”
"Well said!"
Emperor Jingtai used the excuse for a long time, and finally dropped a sentence "Say hello to Concubine Liu on behalf of me", then turned around and boarded the car and drove away······
At this moment, recalling the appearance of Emperor Jingtai at the time of parting and refusing to leave for a long time, Zhu Qiming's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance back at the capital.
It was only a mile away from Lingxiao Palace, and when I turned my head to look, I saw Qingsong Dao sitting on the high slope next to the road, looking like he had already settled.
Zhu Qiming jumped off the horse, ran all the way to the side of Qingsong Daochang, lay on his side on the grass, hunched over, and squinted at Qingsong Daochang.
Daoist Qingsong turned his head slightly, "Your Highness is a dignified prince, you can't lose your identity!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey······ I'm just a commoner now. ”
Zhu Qiming lay on his back on the grass and laughed for a moment, then suddenly stood up, "The Taoist can be called the most powerful person in the world!" In the first year of Xuande, with only one prophecy, the king of Han became a traitor. In the tenth year of Xuande, you judged the life of another royal family member with a silk book, so, after more than ten years, you finally turned me, the prince, into a concubine. ”
Qingsong Daoist turned his head and smiled, "Eh, let's talk about this matter carefully, obviously His Royal Highness held the Queen Mother hostage, and he found a way to retreat, why is it to blame the poor Dao again?" ”
Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Didn't you stop me on the road yesterday just to make me do that amazing move?" ”
Qingsong Dao stroked his beard, "Poor Dao didn't let His Royal Highness put the knife on the queen mother's neck. Besides, His Royal Highness had already sent a group of old people to Jiangnan, didn't he have already made up his mind to retreat before that? ”
Zhu Qiming was stunned again, and then his eyes moved, as if he had realized, "That's not right!" Dao Chief, you're not right! Hehe, I saw the silk book in Qingning Palace back then, as if I was hinted, and then I began to prepare according to the path you set. ”
This time it was Qingsong Dao's turn to be stunned. Taking advantage of this, Zhu Qiming waved his hand down the slope.
There are more than 20 carriages parked at the bottom of the slope, arranged in a long line, and the scene is quite spectacular. Lu Xiyao, Yun Niang, and Ling Xudao all lifted the curtain and waved at him, and even the curtain of the carriage in the middle opened a thin slit, from which the green veil on Concubine Liu's face was faintly visible.
Daoist Ling Xuan said that it is better for Lingxiao Palace to be built in the south of the Yangtze River. There was no way, so he had no choice but to sincerely invite the masters and apprentices of Lingxiao Palace to accompany him.
"That's it!" Qingsong Dao Chang smiled, obviously wanting to make a compromise, "Your Highness is vigorous, it's time to fly out of the cage, sitting on thousands of family fortunes in the Jiangnan Water Town, living a fairy-like comfortable life, isn't it better than drilling a pigsty?" ”
"Eh, from the common people to the prince, it's separated by an unattainable ladder!" Zhu Qiming obviously didn't want to give up, "Why is a place that countless people in the world can't reach, why does it become a pigsty in your mouth?" ”
Qingsong Dao's chin curled, and he handed Zhu Qiming a smiling face, "Poor Dao remembers that His Royal Highness made bold words when he was a child, saying that he hoped that he would be as beautiful as a cloud when he became an adult. Well, presumably His Royal Highness had a lot of scruples in the past, as for now, His Royal Highness is just a common man, and the common people should have the way of living of the common people, accompanied by good wives and beautiful concubines, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for! ”
Che, is this what a Taoist chief should say? Zhu Qiming muttered secretly, turned his head to look at the spur that Lu Xiyao was riding on the slope, and waved his hand again.
"Alas, I'm afraid I can only fall on a tree in my life."
"That's not necessarily, as far as Poor Dao knows, there is a woman named Rose Saihan who went to Jiangnan."
Saihan went to Gangnam? Zhu Qiming was still stunned, but he saw Qingsong Dao Chang get up and wave his sleeves and walk quickly down the slope.
"Eh, Dao Chief, where are you going?"
"Gangnam!"
