Chapter 281: Watching the Fire
Zhu Qiming didn't know where Lu Xiyao was, so he sent more than a dozen people to look for Lu Xiyao's whereabouts.
his regulation!
Before dusk, he came to Lingxiao Palace alone. There was a familiar smell in the air, perhaps, Sister Xi Yao was living in some hidden corner here, licking her wounds in the endless loneliness.
A young female crown came out of the main gate and came to him to perform the Taoist salute, and looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, and did not say a word.
She is that Xuanhui. Zhu Qiming didn't bother to look at her posture at all, his slowly wandering gaze was not fixed on Xuan Hui's face for a moment, and a vague figure occasionally came into view everywhere he went, and a familiar impression faintly floated in his mind, and this impression was just fleeting!
Xuanhui stared at Zhu Qiming for a long time, as if there were years of wind and clouds rolling in her eyes, until she realized that the man in front of her was in a trance, half-demented and half-stupid, she sighed lightly and turned around and entered Lingxiao Palace.
Daoist Ling Xuan walked out and circled around Zhu Qiming three times, his expression was very indifferent. She flatly denied that Lu Xiyao lived in Lingxiao Palace, for fear that he would not give up, and finally threw out a decisive sentence: "What if you find it?" Do you want to let others do it again! ”
Perhaps, as the world says: justice is in the hearts of the people! Unfortunately, when you have been wronged, you will often find a very terrible truth: justice is only in the people!
Zhu Qiming returned to Yuefu, he had no shame to face his husband and sister, and he was not sure whether he should go to the Forbidden City to stir up a chicken, he just felt that it was necessary for him to close himself in the study and spend a long time alone.
However, the whole capital is not as lonely as Yuefu, a poignant story spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and even Yun Niang, who came back from Jiangnan for a short stay, joined the army of legends. In the mouths of the public, a woman named Lu Xiyao is gentle and virtuous, and a certain male childhood sweetheart who is sometimes ugly, sometimes manicure, sometimes proud, sometimes sad and sleepy, has always been loyal to him, and has also spent several frightening moments with a certain man, and his affection is as deep as a modern marriage vow: no matter birth, old age, sickness or death, whether poor or rich, I am willing to stay with him for the rest of my life and never give up. On the other hand, there is a woman named Zhou Xiaodie who is simply a demon, she likes and dislikes, is insidious and vicious, and uses poison schemes to force Lu Xiyao away······
As a result, this story has been continuously rendered and added by the world, and has been endowed with some magical power, and countless people have wept and sighed for it. People turned their anger on Zhou Xiaodie, once she appeared in front of a house, was recognized by several women passing by, a meal of radishes, cabbage thrown, Zhou Xiaodie never dared to step out of the house half a step. And the matchmaker who said that Zhou's family was close no longer came to the door, and even the familiar relatives and neighbors of the emperor were ashamed to visit Zhou's house.
Zhu Qiming didn't know who secretly influenced public opinion, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the situation of the Zhou family. It wasn't until one day that Tang Ji came to the study and told him that King Yu was sending someone to secretly investigate the Xiaoluo of the five heroes of Xishan, and Zhu Qiming realized that someone in the entire capital finally cared about the bizarre things that happened near Tanzhe Temple.
King Servant? Zhu Qiming immediately had a handsome and elegant figure floating in his mind.
······
The scale of the Yue Mansion is slightly smaller than that of the Yue Mansion, but the escort army is as many as 9,000 people, which is incomparable to the Yue Mansion in its heyday. As the official residence of the king of the servant, the chief of the palace of the palace, the department of discipline, the good doctor and other offices are readily available, the waiter, the grandmother, the maid is like a cloud, plus the king is married, the concubines are in groups, and the entire palace is full of people all day long, so it is not lively.
In a corner of the West Garden of Yufu, Pang Zhe climbed the stairs and ascended to a spacious terrace. When the king caught a glimpse of the comer, he immediately waved away the female music, and without waiting for Pang Zhe to give a salute, he got up and invited him to the railing.
"Sir, the guards of the Mansion have found traces of those thieves who pretend to be the five heroes of the West Mountain in the western suburbs, and the king still can't make up his mind, I don't know if he should order to take the thieves."
Pang Zhe sighed lightly, "What can you do if you hold it?" Who is the mastermind behind it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor does not speak, and others can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. King Yue's heart is like a mirror, and he will not know the original situation and not investigate this matter, it is because King Yue expects that the emperor will eventually let this matter be closed! ”
King Yu leaned on the railing and looked at the autumn colors in the distance, "Then let's do it!" This king is a little puzzled, the queen and Concubine Zhou have always been like fire and water, but now they can join forces, which is incomprehensible! ”
Actually, it's not hard to understand. Qin Huifei may give birth to the emperor's eldest son, and control a large amount of silver in the treasury of the Shang Palace Bureau, the future favor will be continuous, the queen is the first to lose her breath, she needs Concubine Zhou's help, which has made a short-term transaction. ”
King Yu frowned, "The queen was the preferred candidate of the empress dowager back then, could it be that the empress dowager looked away at that time?" ”
"Of course the Empress Dowager won't look away! However, people will change, if the queen gives birth to a prince, everything will evolve smoothly as the queen mother expected, but unfortunately, after many years, the queen is still childless, the tragic situation of the abolition of the middle palace in the past and the sinister heart in the palace have changed the queen's mentality, which the queen mother did not expect. ”
King Yu leaned his back against the railing and glanced at Pang Zhe deeply, his expression revealing a sense of trust. Since he greeted Pang Zhe, he, the prince, no longer has to live in a daze.
"Concubine Zhou assists the queen, and the transaction price is so difficult that it is as simple as making her sister the princess of Yue?"
"Of course not, Concubine Zhou is hiding people's eyes!"
King Yu was stunned, "How do you say this?" ”
"Didn't the imperial concubine send someone to pass the word to His Highness? Most of Concubine Zhou is pregnant, if this is true, just imagine, Concubine Zhou's birth of the prince is bound to make the queen even more jealous, so Concubine Zhou deliberately concealed the fact that she was pregnant, and drew the attention of the palace to Qin Huifei, she could avoid a lot of accidents, the so-called matter of making her little sister the princess of Yue, this is completely a cover to fool the queen! ”
King Yu nodded slowly, "Once Concubine Zhou gives birth to the prince, I am afraid that the queen's life will not be easy, and a seemingly weak and bullying Qin Huifei, the queen may not be able to do anything with her, so in this way, it will not be long before the queen's situation is bound to usher in a really difficult moment!" ”
"Your Highness is very true! If the queen remains unchanged, she is dedicated to being the queen of the six palaces and the queen of the world who is expected by the empress dowager, has the talisman left by the empress dowager, and has a deep relationship with the emperor, who can covet her posterior? It's good now, the queen is trying her best to change, but she doesn't know that this move seems to be smart, but it is actually unwise, and it also allows Concubine Zhou to peek into the reality, and Concubine Zhou's future contention is only afraid that it will become more and more uncontrollable. ”
King Yu secretly sighed for a long time, stared at it, and suddenly remembered King Yue, "Does King Yue know that the queen and Concubine Zhou are secretly teaming up?" ”
"Of course King Yue knows about this, if it weren't for that, why did King Yue put the matter of accumulating wealth on Qin Huifei, who was independent of the two major forces of the queen and Concubine Zhou? Perhaps in the eyes of King Yue, only Qin Huifei can keep those silvers, and once the silver falls into the hands of the queen and Concubine Zhou, most of them will become a tool for them to compete for favor, and no matter how much silver they have, they can't withstand the excessive squandering! ”
The king invited Pang Zhe to leave the terrace and walked down the stairs. "The king of Yue has extraordinary wisdom, and this king is hard to look forward to! This king secretly spent a lot of effort, but nothing was accomplished, and the king of Yue returned to Beijing for only a few days, let Yu Qian return to the military department, transfer 100,000 elite soldiers to guard the Beijing division, and accumulate a large amount of silver, with these, even if it encounters a big disaster, I Daming also has the capital to reverse the crisis! ”
After getting off the stage, King Yu stopped in front of the flower bed, "Sir, Miss Lu's whereabouts are unknown, after this incident, what will King Yue think of the emperor?" ”
"With all due respect, in the past, King Yue was disappointed in the emperor and did not despair, but after many days, the emperor did not want to track down Miss Lu's thief, which may have made King Yue's heart half cold. If the king of Heri Yue sees Xining as he wishes, then he may really fall into despair! ”
"What does despair mean?" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the king of Dingyue will never embark on the road of rebellion! The so-called benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are not read by reading the books of the sages, but focusing on doing it physically. But if he is desperate, why should he be foolish and loyal? If there is an accident in the future, as long as it does not endanger the community, most of the kings of Yue will watch from the wall! ”
King Yu was shocked again, and then fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said quietly: "Will Wara really attack the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Don't look at the tension in the north at the moment, the court and the central government may not be sincerely preparing for war, most of the monarchs and ministers think that if they continue to compromise, the battle is very likely to not be fought, and the view below is the same as that of the king of Yue, there will be a desperate competition between the Ming and Wara! The war is together, His Royal Highness is livable and the temple is high and looks at the general trend of the world, but he is worthy of the community, and he doesn't ask anything else! ”
King Yu stared, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, the autumn wind came with yellow leaves, rolled up the hem of his clothes and a few wisps of emanation, and the jade face seemed to be solidified, and it was fixed there for a long time.
