Chapter 216: The Distance of the Rivers and Lakes

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"

The emperor raised his head and froze there for a long time, completely forgetting the cold wind and the heavy snow. Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and when his eyes swept towards Zhu Qiming, a deep coldness reappeared on his face.

"You trespassed into the Fengtian Temple and the Jinshen Palace, but I only thought it was a mistake and didn't want to investigate it deeply. Just now you are openly acting in the palace forbidden······ Hurt people, tell me why! ”

The emperor replaced the word "murder" with "hurt", but the difference in the word is completely different in nature, which shows that his attitude is softening.

"The minister really doesn't want to turn over the old accounts, but the minister is about to travel far away, the ends of the earth are adrift, and the most annoying thing is to be stared at by thieves along the way, and the minister just wants to warn some people that this is not what it used to be! If they want to take advantage of the opportunity, they will have to pay an unbearable price! Zhu Qiming's eyes were fixed on Xining's bloody buttocks, "If the minister encounters any trouble outside, everything must be recorded on this person's head!" ”

There was a shock over there, followed by a miserable howl.

"Them?" The emperor stared at Zhu Qiming tightly, "Ridiculous! I will order someone to show you the case file of Jinyiwei, and when you know the details, you will not be so cranky! Tell me, are you so bold and reckless, just to vent your anger? ”

A doubt flashed in Zhu Qiming's mind, if he didn't make a fuss, but plainly asked for an order to go out to find medicine, would the emperor find a suitable excuse to play? Probably not! If that is the case, the emperor will definitely feel embarrassed, and he will definitely ask the queen mother, needless to say, the matter of going out to find medicine will eventually be shelved.

Now that he is making trouble in the palace, the emperor will let him go out to find medicine, what can others criticize the emperor? I am afraid that no one will criticize it, but only praise the grace of the Son of Heaven!

The matter of going out to find medicine has been decided, and there is still suspense about whether he should pay some price for making a fool of himself.

"The minister went to the north to wander, and this matter must be approved by His Majesty. The king has the virtue of kissing, and the minister must also keep filial piety for the emperor's grandmother, so the minister must always find a reason that can convince each other. ”

"However, I can't tolerate your reckless behavior!" The emperor shook his sleeves suddenly, "The state has national laws, and the palace has palace rules!" ”

"Well, Your Majesty doesn't have to be embarrassed, it's better to convene a hundred officials in the DPRK and China to discuss it, and the right and wrong can be decided by a well-educated person!"

Zhu Qiming glanced at Xining disdainfully, thinking that this pampered and arrogant Zhongguiliang, who was blocking arrows for Wang Zhen and gathering thousands of resentments, would be used as a reference in the court, how tall and lofty would he be as a prince! And what kind of embarrassment will the Son of Heaven have at that time? This preset scenario mode is really exciting!

"A well-educated man?" The emperor gritted his teeth, and even frowned and couldn't hide the helplessness on his face, "The matter of the palace ban, there is no need to mobilize the people!" ”

The empress dowager's last words echoed in his ears, and a few pairs of eyes of the empress dowager, Concubine Wu, and Jingci Immortal Master appeared in his mind, and Zhu Qiming was quite curious, he was wondering if the Son of Heaven was willing to be a lonely person who caused the dissatisfaction of the palace.

"The minister doesn't want to go out to find medicine at the moment, the minister is waiting for His Majesty to send it!"

"You ······" The emperor paused suddenly, his face slightly red.

Over there, Xining snorted vigorously, "Ouch, Weichen almost died, please Your Majesty make the decision for Weichen!" ”

People often make big mistakes inadvertently, but they are easily ignored by those around them. At this moment, Xining made a big mistake, a sentence asking the Son of Heaven to be the master was originally very ordinary, but in front of a thoughtful young prince, it was tantamount to a god-sent target!

"Hahaha······" Zhu Qiming suppressed his smile, and only glanced at Xining from the corner of his eye, his face was full of disdain, "Xining, as a noble in the inner court and a close minister in front of the emperor, this king thought that you must be extremely good, but you are so unbearable, you can't even do it!" On that day, you did not hesitate to die outside the gate of the other courtyard to take care of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister between the Son of Heaven and the king, but today you are so desperate for your life, ignoring the original generous statement, these two performances before and after will not be true, right? One of the two must be false! Since he wanted to sacrifice his life for righteousness, why should he spare his life today? On the other hand, if you are so desperate for your life, how can you deceive the Holy Hearing with false words in the first place! ”

Xi Ning's face was shocked, and she turned over in severe pain, "Your Majesty ······" I wanted to defend myself, but I found that I couldn't find a suitable explanation.

"Why hasn't the Imperial Doctor come yet?" The emperor's face was obviously unbearable, and he waved at several guards, "Carry Xining down and let the imperial doctor take a look." ”

"Yes!"

The chirp gradually faded away, and the emperor seemed to be a different person, his face was completely relaxed, but his tone was urgent: "Let Xining admit that she is unlucky!" Oh, King Yue, the north is bitterly cold, and you are afraid that you will suffer. ”

"Ministers are not afraid of hardship."

"The last words of the Empress Dowager are still in my ears, let you go out and endure hardships, I really can't bear it."

"Or, think again?"

"No, no, no, it's okay to go out and look for medicine, if you are lucky enough to meet a miracle medicine, you can also restore your previous appearance as soon as possible, and you don't have to scare the people in the Forbidden City anymore, right! Get up, get up, oops, you said you, so many ministers said yours were not, my ears were all cocooned, why were you so careless? ”

Zhu Qiming got up and looked into the palace, and saw that there were many women in the hall swaying. Perhaps, the concubines of the Son of Heaven are gradually getting used to the impression left on them by a young prince wearing a golden mask, which must not be very annoying, if they can put aside the terrifying marks laid by the legend.

"The minister also wants to be good at dancing with long sleeves, build a wide range of contacts, and be a prince praised by everyone, this matter seems to be not difficult, but what is the motivation for the minister to do this? If you really become such a prince, how will you treat your ministers? ”

The emperor was immediately stunned, and suddenly grinned, "That's it, that's it, I'll take the topic away." Aren't you worried about unsafe roads? I will allow you to take the young army of Yuefu and send you another thousand young troops······ No, it is the dispatch of 2,000 young troops, plus the commander of the Yuefu Escort Army who accompanied you on the two expeditions, and a few capable Yuefu ministers to accompany you, you will definitely be able to ensure that you are safe all the way. I will send an edict to Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong, and the provisions will be provided by the prefectures, counties, or capitals along the way. You have to keep in mind that you must ask for permission to move inward, and as for going out to the north, you can enter the Jurchen realm, but you are not allowed to step into the realm of Warat for half a step, let alone clash with the Warat people! ”

No clashes with the Warats? Hmph, that's expected! Although Zhu Qiming was unhappy in his heart, he still stubbornly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor was not afraid of the cold and did not avoid the flying snow, pacing back and forth there, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood, as if he had forgotten about the hurtful incident just now. "According to the Empress Dowager's last words, Feng Duo still has to follow you. Well, since it has been decided, then without further ado, you don't need to go to Xianxi Palace to resign, just wait outside the noon gate, I will order someone to pass on the decree, summon all the people and horses within an hour, and you will lead you straight on the road, so as not to resign. ”

In such a hurry? Could it be that the emperor is worried that there will be changes later? Zhu Qiming was only sad for a short while, and he soon realized that he was just a hurried passer-by in the Forbidden City, and everything in front of him was not worth taking a second look.

Daming is in trouble internally and externally, so what? It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes!

"The minister did not dare to forget the Empress Dowager's testament, 'Only lovers are the foundation of protecting the country, but benevolence is the way to love others', the Empress Dowager has good intentions! The minister was thinking, if the Empress Dowager could devote a little bit of her mind to managing others during her lifetime, then would Jingci Immortal Master still live in the place where she left the hospital? ”

"I immediately decreed that the Jingci Immortal Master should be allowed to move back to Chang'an Palace."

The minister suddenly remembered Xu Gong, and he tried his best to protect the minister back to Beijing, but the minister could not repay him. Listening to him, the woman he liked was the palace maid in charge of Xianxi Palace. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to marry the two of them! ”

The emperor's face sank, and a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

Zhu Qiming bowed, "It's all to blame for the abruptness, how can you embarrass Your Majesty?" The minister still went to the queen mother to make a statement, and the queen mother thought that the minister was about to go away, and maybe she would respond to the minister's request. ”

"I'm right! Before you set out, the decree will be made! ”

The emperor seemed to be roaring, and his voice was a little harsh, but Zhu Qiming didn't realize it, he knelt down in the direction of Qingning Palace, kowtowed respectfully three times, and tears rolled down immediately.

got up and strode away, without looking at the accompanying imperial attendants, he looked into the distance, and his eyes never touched the grass, trees, bricks and tiles of the Forbidden City.

just wanted to leave without a trace of nostalgia, but there was a figure that still caught his attention, and that person was Yu Qian!

At this moment, Yu Qian was standing solemnly outside the Fengtian Gate, and he was waiting for the decree to enter the palace to resign.

Xuande five years, Yu Qian was only thirty-two years old as the right squire of the Ministry of War as the governor of Shanxi and Henan provinces, and now more than ten years have passed, his official position is not promoted but reduced, from the third grade of the waiter to the fourth grade of Zuo Shaoqing, such a setback for Qian, although it is the first time, but I am afraid it will not be the last.

Fortunately, Qian is not very old, only in his early forties, and he is still young and strong in the court, but I hope that those who have gone through hardships will have a lot of difficulty in prospering the country!

Zhu Qiming has a good impression of Qian, not only because of the song "Lime Yin", a large number of rumors about Yu Qian's ethics and insight have fallen into his ears one after another, and if this information is strung together, he can get a general impression of a person.

Maybe it's because of his state of mind, Zhu Qiming glanced at Yu Qian, and he had a feeling of hating each other. But it's better to miss each other, Zhu Qiming didn't dare to make a disobedient move that was not beneficial to himself or others, he was nearly ten zhang away, bowed deeply to Yu Qian, and Yu Qian immediately bowed.

Two people who are going through the ordeal just communicate in the air, sending blessings to each other.

······

It was almost time to reach Dongzhimen, and the cavalry of more than 3,000 people lowered their horses.

Zhu Qiming took a deep breath, and looked forward to it in his heart: leaving the capital, the outside world is open and the sky is vast, and there is a lot of free time waiting for him!

However, Changran's state of mind did not last long, and for some reason, he suddenly reined in his horse and fixed his eyes to look north in the snow.

The long silence almost turned all the riders into snow-clad sculptures, and pedestrians stopped to watch the spectacle in the snow.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, His Royal Highness the King of Yue!"

Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, saw a middle-aged woman trotting over, and when she got closer, she found that she was the servant woman of the Lu family!

"His Royal Highness King Yue, are you leaving Beijing? Small ······ Oh, it was Madame who invited a string of Buddhist beads for you, may the Buddha bless His Royal Highness for a safe return! ”

Zhu Qiming covered his chest, and only his heartbeat could be heard in his ears.
