Chapter 369: Priorities
After saying goodbye to Lu Xiyao, Zhu Qiming walked out of the inner courtyard and stood in front of the wall in the front yard for a long time.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Back then, I was in several bizarre distresses, but it turned out that someone opened the forbidden door and awakened the ambition in hibernation!
If it weren't for his own fate, and the Empress Dowager woke up in time to turn the situation around in one fell swoop, the "removal of its wings" at that time would have evolved into "cutting off its torso".
And above the ambition, there is a treacherous situation of political disputes, for more than ten years, the interest calculation has firmly kidnapped the government, and the political orientation of the government has nothing to do with right and wrong! Ironically, the Orthodox Dynasty began with a struggle between war and peace, but it was about to come to an end in the desperate choice of failing to achieve peace and war coming unexpectedly.
However, those in high positions are not fools, and how do they get to the performance of their own sons and their own troubled princes? The mystery here does not seem to be fully solved.
He thought of a person, Red Knotweed!
However, at a critical moment when the survival of the society is at a critical juncture, he has a clear priority.
The surrounding trees weep under the rubbing of the autumn wind, and the lights reflect the bleak courtyard. In the corner of the wall, several guards appeared, pestled there like wooden stakes.
With a wave of his sleeves, he turned and walked to the front door, opened the small door, and stepped out.
"King Yue, you've been complaining for too long, let's go, come with me to dinner!"
The light reflected the smiling face of the King of Servants. Obviously, after waiting for so long, he is still interested.
"Brother Yuwang, when did Yanluo return to the capital?"
"Ten days ago, what happened? Today, I asked her to wait here for Miss Lui. King Yu approached Zhu Qiming's side, "Hey, hey, hey······ That Miss Lu······ It's a peerless beauty, no wonder you're ······ for her Guarding himself like jade. ”
Guarding yourself like jade? Can't you just change the word to something more elegant! Zhu Qiming saw the calm look on King Yu's face, and couldn't help but think of the little thing he had with Yanluo back then, so he put away his worries and planned to ridicule King Yun.
"Brother Yuwang, how can I have you so affectionate? I heard that you have newly accepted a dancer named Li Xi'er as a concubine, and your footprints of love have crossed the boudoir and reached Fengyue Field, which can be described as unparalleled in the world! ”
King Yu smiled awkwardly, "Well, there is a reason for this. Do you still remember the past when we danced together in the Spring Jubilee Hall that year? For some reason, the dancer's dancing is always engraved in my mind, and it always lingers. I have been looking for many years, and finally found the Li family, you don't know, the Li family is as beautiful as a flower, and the dancing posture is a must in the capital! I am in love with her, and if I have a lover, I will eventually become a family! ”
"Yanluo back then, Li Xi'er now, as well as the concubine and the side room, the beauties around you are like clouds, so you might as well touch your conscience and ask, who is the love you are talking about?"
"Lee! No, smoke, no······ This ······" King Yu scratched his head, "How can this be said clearly?" Hey, King Yue, you're a little bored! ”
King Yu doesn't pay much attention to the subtleties, but he is straightforward and unwilling to put on the face of a hypocrite, so in Zhu Qiming's opinion, there is no lack of cuteness.
Zhu Qiming smiled and pretended to be deep: "Affection is a ruthless species, and ruthlessness is an infatuated person!" ”
"Well, that's interesting, hey, interesting!" King Yu raised his neck and grabbed Zhu Qiming, "Amorous is a ruthless species?" Ruthless is an infatuated person? Eh, King Yue, what does this mean? It's like a Zen saying! ”
Pang Zhe appeared from the side of the carriage, "The hour is not early, please move the two highnesses." ”
Zhu Qiming glanced at Pang Zhe indifferently, and there was no sense of relaxation in his heart.
"This Wang Fang has just listened to Yanluo's story in the inner courtyard for a long time, Mr. Pang, all this should be related to you, right?"
Pang Zhe was upright, looking disapproving, "Presumably, Madame Ru just told the truth of Sancheng, and the rest of the secrets have to be discovered by His Royal Highness himself." There are many things, so that His Highness knows about them, so that he can see the true face of some people. ”
"This king said that the society is in danger, and at this time, except for the king of servants, others may not be willing to stretch out their heads!"
Pang Zhe raised his eyebrows, "There are accidents in everything, and it is always good for Your Highness to be cautious." ”
King Yu opened his blank eyes, and his gaze swept over the faces of Zhu Qiming and Pang Zhe.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves sounded, and more than ten horsemen and horses could be seen galloping all the way under the moonlight, and when they were close, one of the riders hurriedly reined in the horse and turned over and landed. Zhu Qiming turned his head to look and saw that it was Yiming.
"His Royal Highness, something big happened in the palace······" Yi Ming glanced at Zhu Qiming and was silent.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" King Yu commanded.
"Yes!" Yi Ming approached the three of them and said in a low voice: "There is a report from the palace officials that the queen mother is summoning King Xiang in Yongsu Hall at the moment, persuading King Xiang to take the throne of the emperor, and forcibly leaving King Xiang's golden seal in Xianxi Palace!" ”
What the! Zhu Qiming, King Yu, and Pang Zhe were all stunned when they heard the news, as if they had fallen into a five-mile cloud, and they were confused for a while.
Pang Zhe frowned, "The Empress Dowager has ordered someone to pass on an order for King Xiang to leave for Xiangyang Mansion tomorrow, why did she change her mind tonight?" ”
Yi Ming looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is related to the imperial concubine." I heard that the queen took 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau, and wanted to take advantage of the night to order someone to send out of the Forbidden City, and go to the north to hand it over to Yexian, in order to exchange it for the emperor. Some people took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that the imperial concubine was worried about the good place to live in the Queen Mother's Xianxi Palace, and wanted to replace it and force the Queen Mother to move the palace! The Queen Mother was furious when she heard the news, and the situation became like this. ”
King Yu paused, "Didn't this king strictly order the guards to guard the four gates of the Forbidden City?" What does this mean? It's a complete redundancy! ”
Pang Zhe sighed: "Seeing that the inner and outer treasury is empty, the imperial concubine is also worried that it will not be easy for His Royal Highness to be in charge, so she is in a hurry for a while and loses her sense of proportion. ”
Yi Ming said again: "The Queen Mother is scheduled to summon Jiuqing at the beginning of tomorrow to discuss major matters!" ”
Zhu Qiming couldn't help frowning. He knew that King Yu was now in control of the power of the court, but no matter how powerful King Yu was, he couldn't make himself the Son of Heaven rightfully!
Looking at the world, only two people in the whole world have the right to issue an edict to designate a successor, except for the two, the others can only play the chapter, and even the king can only "order", and the so-called "order" is easy to be overturned by the "will" of the highest level.
One of those who has the right to issue an order is the emperor of the northern hunt, who sends an edict to the hundred officials in the way of abdication and appoints a successor. It's a pity that he fell into the hands of the Warat people, Mo said that it was difficult for him to pass on his mind to the capital, even if the entourage brought back the emperor's edict, it was impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and the officials did not dare to believe it, let alone obey their fate!
The other person is the Queen Mother! The written order issued by the Empress Dowager is not called an edict or a decree, but only one word: decree, or honorific call it a holy decree! She can be the supreme "Virgin" and decree the appointment of the heir to the throne, just as she decreed the crown prince.
What's more, at this time, the king of Yu may not be interested in the mess left by the emperor, in case he is annoyed, he picks on the son in a fit of anger, and sits back and watches the country fall into the hands of King Xiang, and the Ming Dynasty may only have one way to move south.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming said categorically: "I'll go to Yongsu Hall tomorrow morning!" ”
King Yu gritted his teeth, "I'll go too!" It's okay for someone else to let King Xiang succeed to the throne? Don't even think about it! ”
