Chapter 99: Changes in the palace and palace
"My sister really doesn't save face at all." Emperor Yuan Xiu finally did not become angry, but the rustiness and deep reproach between the sisters and brothers in this faint sentence had exceeded the effect of the anger.
The hall fell silent again.
Yuan Mingyue was already deeply moved by Yuan Xiu, she had already calmed down, and at this time, she was only weak, so she could only hide behind him in Yuan Xiu's wings and wept secretly. Yuan Xiu was touched by this suppressed low sob, and stared at his eldest sister Yuan Yuying firmly.
Yuan Yuying was not a reckless person after all, and she secretly suppressed her anger. I cherished my brother in my heart, and besides, he was a delicate-minded person, so he immediately knelt down at this time, but he was not in a hurry, and said very calmly, "It's the minister's disgrace and rudeness in front of His Majesty, please forgive the lord." ”
Yuan Xiu stared at the eldest sister for a long time and didn't speak, but finally sighed slightly, "In my lonely heart, my sister will always be my sister, and I only hope that my sister will treat my lonely sister as she did when she was young." Lonely is already lonely in his heart, so he naturally won't be angry with his sister. ”
Yuan Yuying knocked out. It wasn't until he left the Zhaoyang Palace that he secretly instructed Nanqiao to invite the Nanyang King and his wife to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a meeting. Even the princess Yifu was invited, and others only said that it was because Princess Nanyang had just become pregnant, and the eldest princess had just given birth to a great prime minister's concubine, and they were also from the same clan, so they were close to each other and could talk. It is not uncommon to even talk about the marriage of children in the future.
Guangling Wang Yuanxin, standing in old age, tall and strong, looks like a typical rude and straightforward martial artist, and is very different from his own brother from the appearance. Yuan Xin's younger brother was Yuan Gong, the Emperor of Jiemin, who died under the pagoda of Yongning Temple in Luoyang. Since the great prime minister Gao Huan established the new emperor Yuan Xiu, Yuan Xin has been living in trembling. Among the kings of the clan, he must not be outstanding.
With the Emperor Yuan Xiu's surrender to Guanzhong, many of the ministers were suspicious, and few wholeheartedly agreed. And Yuan Xin is one of the few people who wholeheartedly agrees. Appropriately, in Chang'an, King Yuanxin of Guangling gradually stood out among the kings of the clan.
Because he was valued by Prime Minister Yu Wentai, he was highly courteous. Needless to say, because of the love of the prime minister, Yuanxin, the king of Guangling, slowly became the head of the kings of the clan and had a pivotal position. Although Yuan Xin seems to be coarse from the outside, he is extremely measured and unwilling to fight for fame and power. It was only because the emperor had been addicted to alcohol in recent days, and there were many drunken madnesses, that he entered the palace several times to persuade him.
Today, as soon as Guangling Wang Yuanxin left the palace, he was invited to the mansion of Prime Minister Yu Wentai. At this moment, Yuan Xin was sitting in the quiet room of the prime minister in the mansion to handle official business, waiting for the busy prime minister to come. Yuan Xin was worried in his heart, and he didn't know why the prime minister wanted to see him alone, and not the kings.
The servant who served Guangling Wang Yuanxin was a servant of a weak crown age, who looked old and steady, behaved properly and acted in moderation. commanding the servants to respectfully act in hospitality, which made Yuan Xin's heart settle down a little, but it was inconvenient to ask more.
However, the servant saluted and said directly after the little servants withdrew, "Your Highness, sit quietly for a moment, the prime minister is discussing with Mr. Su Sui in detail, and when the matter is over, he will naturally come to see His Highness." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the prime minister is busy with affairs, and he should have waited." Yuan Xinji was kind and authentic. He only expressed his undoubted attitude about waiting, but refused to say anything else.
"The Prime Minister respects His Highness, so naturally he will not let His Highness wait too long. It's just that the new capital has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, Mr. Su Sui is knowledgeable, full of planning, and is a person who really has economic knowledge, and the prime minister is bent on assisting His Majesty to rejuvenate the Great Wei, so he is preferentially with Mr. Su and often discusses matters in the house. If it weren't for His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister would never have disturbed his discussions with Mr. Su, which shows that His Royal Highness is also treated as courteously as Mr. Su in the heart of the Prime Minister. ”
However, this servant talked eloquently, which made Yuan Xin feel fresh when he heard the secrets. Moreover, the servant's words expressed Dacheng's importance to him, which made Yuan Xin feel extremely comfortable. Yuan Xin just smiled modestly, still didn't ask or say much. The servant is also a safe and measured person, so he didn't say much, asked His Royal Highness the King of Guangling to take care of himself, and withdrew.
Yuan Xinneng stayed alone for a moment in the quiet room of Yuwentai Governance, and he already felt flattered, and at the same time his heart was full of curiosity. However, the furnishings in the quiet room of the great prime minister are extremely simple, and only one picture is particularly eye-catching. Anyway, I was idle, so I studied it carefully.
After arriving in Chang'an, Yi Fu reunited with her husband Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch. The fact that he and his husband and son Yuanqin finally got together made Yi Fu feel warm and relieved for a while, at least in the mansion. She almost stayed at home, and she didn't think about the things on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, deliberately avoiding the knot in her heart. So the sense of uneasiness that used to arise from time to time has faded a lot.
The ox cart slowly stopped at the door of the mansion of the Great Prime Minister Yu Wentai, and Yi Fu woke up from his contemplation. Today is the first time she has walked out of the gate of Nanyang Palace. It was because the eldest princess Yuan Yuying specially ordered her maid Nan Qiao to make a special trip to Nanyang Wangfu to invite Nanyang Wang and his wife to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get together. In this way, Yi Fu had to go out of the house.
"What's wrong? Feeling uncomfortable again? The car stopped, but Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch had no intention of getting out of the car. He had long noticed that Yue'e was speechless all the way and was preoccupied. He didn't ride a horse, he came by car with Yue'e all the way, intending to take care of him.
"Don't worry, husband, it's okay." Yue'e came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, looked at the ingot torch, and added, "It's okay." ”
Yuan Baoju didn't ask anything more, jumped out of the car first, then turned around and helped Yue'e get out of the car, and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Nan Qiao led the way to a secluded place in the garden behind the mansion. Yuan Bao Torch and Yue'e followed each other without saying a word all the way. Both of them found the atmosphere a bit extraordinary. If it's really an ordinary clan gathering, there's no need to find a secluded place. Obviously, the eldest princess has something important to say. But if anything, what is it? Do you need to avoid the powerful Prime Minister Yu Wentai? This is a very sensitive issue.
"Ouch......" Yi Fushi's body suddenly trembled and tilted, and at the same time, he groaned softly in his throat, obviously unable to help the pain.
"What's wrong?" The ingot torch beside her was always on her, and at this time, she quickly supported Yue'e so that she would not fall to the ground completely.
Several servants from the Nanyang Palace, who followed behind, also hurried up to help the princess. And Nan Qiao, who was walking in front and leading the way, and several servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion who followed, also stopped and looked back after hearing Yi Fu's call.
"The concubine walks inappropriately." Yi Fu Shi looked down at his twisted foot, raised his head and frowned at his husband's ingots torch, his eyes full of embarrassment.
Nan Qiao's face also changed, but fortunately, he was still calm, and after thinking about it, he said to Nanyang Wang Yuanbaoju, "The eldest princess has something important, Your Highness should go with me to see the eldest princess first." The princess is pregnant, and she twisted her foot, so she should not move around for the time being, so it is important to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. ”
Yuan Bao Ju felt that this was very appropriate. Because he guessed that the eldest princess must have secret orders, and it was better to let Yue'e know less about the affairs of the court and palace, so as not to let her think about it indiscriminately. Presumably, the eldest princess just invited the couple to come with her to avoid people's eyes, and she didn't actually have something to say to Yue'e. Seeing that Yue'e was also frowning and looking at him painfully, she agreed to Nan Qiao.
So, Nan Qiao ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor, and asked the two maids in the mansion to accompany Yi Fu's family, and he hurriedly led the Nanyang Wang Yuanbao torch to see the eldest princess Yuan Yuying. Yuan Bao Ju saw that there was no one in the garden, thinking that the mansion of the prime minister could not be entered and exited casually, and the garden was behind the sleeping Yan residence, and there were no idle people, so he left with great confidence.
Yi Fu watched her husband walk away, thinking that she didn't need to see the eldest princess, and her heart was subconsciously very relaxed. After all, the eldest princess inherited the resolute and resolute bloodline of the women of the Xianbei clan, especially in today's Chang'an, she plays a pivotal role behind the court, so Yi Fu is still afraid of her in her heart.
The suspect was in a panic, so he asked the two servants in the prime minister's mansion to wait far away, and there was no need to follow around. The two servants were rough and not clever people, so they gladly obeyed orders and watched from afar.
It was also the first time for Yi Fu to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially in such a quiet place behind the mansion. There is an inconspicuous grass hut not far behind him, with white walls and green tiles. Yi Fushi looked around, there are not many pavilions in Fanglin Xiuzhu, but there is a grand atmosphere, not like the garden of small families is always crowded and cramped. The house behind her was the closest one to her, and it was not as grand as the other pavilions, and it must not be a particularly important place, so she ordered her maid to help her and go there with all her might. I just want to have a place to rest, and I feel a little cold on my body, so I want to avoid it.
As soon as I walked outside the hut, I felt a gust of autumn wind blow behind me. Yi Fu is a pregnant person, and when he was blown by this cool breeze, his body trembled, and he only felt a faint uneasiness rise in his heart, and he was instantly made to tremble a little by the cold. So he ordered his maid to go out to the car at the gate of the house to fetch the silk. I thought about going into the room and resting and waiting.
The maid sent Etophilia to the door of the house, and was urged by the princess to fetch something. He was just about to push himself in, when he heard a voice from the room, and it was a man's voice.
"Mr. Su, I naturally understand. At this time, it is not suitable to be promoted, because the temple is not yet clean, which misleads Mr. Su's good policy of governing the world. Don't rush anything, slowing down is different. The voice was loud and crisp, very decisive, and there was a kind of coldness. What's worse is that this voice is very familiar, and it turned out to be the great prime minister Yu Wentai.
Yi Fu's heart was beating wildly, but he didn't expect Yuwentai to be in the house. This person made her afraid, but she was afraid of something. In such an inconspicuous place, it must be a confidential affair, and she immediately understood that she was in danger. I wanted to escape, but I twisted my foot again and couldn't move. At the moment, there is no one to support him, if he makes a noise and alarms Yuwentai, wouldn't he kill himself?
At this moment, another unfamiliar voice came from inside. "If the lord wants to clean up the temple, he doesn't have to move the teacher. As long as you respect the Son of Heaven, don't do what the Gao family does, and the officials look to the west like a frightened bird, so that the people's hearts can be stable, and over time they will naturally look forward to the head of the lord. The voice was wide and peaceful.
"Brother Si Jing said it easily." This is another straightforward and slightly impatient stranger. "The Son of Heaven who is drunk all day long, only has the inner pet of Zhaoyi Niangzi in his heart, and he doesn't take his family and country to heart at all, and he only knows how to fight for power, how can he be respected?"
Ephesian was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing. She overheard Quan Chen talking about the Son of Heaven like this, what will be the end?
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, when I was in Luoyang, I was with the lord for a long time, and the lord was originally a son of Yingming, but after all, he was still young and his mind was not familiar. As long as the lord is patient, he will definitely be able to support the society wholeheartedly, and it is also a matter of time before the Great Wei Dynasty is stronger than the other Great Wei Dynasty. It was the voice of the "Brother Sijing" again. His words can make Yue'e feel a little reassured.
"Brother Sijing, no matter how wise the Son of Heaven is, he can't help but be surrounded by villains on the side of the king. Not to mention that Hu Sichun and Yuan Bi are not virtuous ministers, but there is no virtuous concubine in the inner palace. I heard that the former Queen Gao understood the righteousness and took the overall situation into account. It's just that his identity is really special, and he was assassinated by Zuo Zhaoyi again. This is the voice of "Brother Yuangui". mentioned Yuan Mingyue and said that she had assassinated the queen Gao Changjun, and Yi Fu was extremely scared in his heart, thinking that his sister-in-law was really wronged. It's really not a good thing that the minister has such a wrong impression of her.
It's just strange why the voice of the great prime minister Yu Wentai didn't appear again.
It was quiet inside for a long time.
Yue'e turned around slowly, trying to move away slowly.
"What is the Lord's mind?" From the room behind her, the voice of "Brother Yuangui" came again, slightly urging, presumably he was Yuwentai's confidant and deeply trusted, so he could be like this.
Then there was silence.
"What are the kings' thoughts?" After a while, Yuwentai's cold and calm voice finally came.
Yue'e, who had already moved to the front of the stairs, involuntarily stopped again. After all, it was about Yuan Mingyue, and she couldn't help but care.
"Isn't King Guangling waiting for the lord? Whatever the lord thinks, the kings think. Yu Jin's voice came.
Yu Jin's words made Yue'e tremble. Although he is generous and measured, he is a loyal servant of Yuwentai after all.
"The pro-virtuous ministers are far from the villain, and this ancestor is so prosperous." Yuwentai was asked for a long time and only said this.
Yue'e listened to it as if she was falling into a fog, and she clearly felt that the tone made her feel terriblely cold.
