Chapter 241 Historical Records of the Liang Dynasty
There were books more than a foot high in front of the ninth princess, and there were nearly twenty of them when she counted them. I don't know where to start copying, so I have to ask Birou to summon the voyage.
Yuanhang trotted all the way to Fengluan Palace, and saw a stack of books on the table in the living room, and the ninth princess was sitting at the table waiting for her, and there were three scribes standing behind her.
"Princess, you're amazing." Yuanhang sat down happily, gave the ninth princess a thumbs up, and reached for the first book on it.
"Smack." The ninth princess slapped her palm on the book, pursed her small mouth, and stared at the voyage without saying a word.
"Huh?" I don't understand the voyage, and I look at it.
"You once said that I took the historical records and went to tell the imperial brother, could it be forgotten?" The ninth princess held down the book and did not let go, and Yuanhang tried to move, but did not move.
Glancing at the transcription officer behind the princess, Yuanhang leaned over and whispered, "If I finish copying today, I'll say tomorrow, okay?" ”
"Really?" The Ninth Princess also leaned her head over and asked in a low voice.
"Seriously." Yuanhang nodded. In his heart, he wanted to set off for Jiangzhou as soon as possible.
"Men of you, come forward." The Ninth Princess sat up straight, summoned the three scribes, and instructed: "You will follow Lord Ye's orders later, and remember, you must finish copying the historical records selected by Lord Ye today." ”
"Yes." The three men bowed and replied.
Yuanhang opened the first book, took a brief look at it and put it back. Reaching out and taking the top half away, he pulled out a copy from the middle and looked at it.
"It wasn't." Yuanhang put it back, continued to search backwards, and when he got the third book, he finally found the historical record he wanted.
"This is it." Yuanhang handed the selected historical book to the scribe, and one of them sat down and began to transcribe it directly, while the other two studied the ink on the side, preparing to replace the transcription later.
Yuanhang picked up a copy and read it.
The title page reads: "The Twelfth Year of Chun'an.
It turned out that this was a record of the twelfth year of Chun'an. When Yuanhang chatted with Situ Zhongda, he had heard that Emperor Chun'an was the father of Emperor Yinwen.
The first page notes that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the emperor and hundreds of officials are happy. The envoy Meng Ke said at the time of the celebration that the emperor has gradually become a concubine, but there are few concubines, so it is reasonable to enrich the harem and extend the heirs. The Empress Dowager Qingyu was overjoyed, and she planned to spread the word to the world and call it widely.
The ninth princess returned to the inner room, originally thought that Yuanhang would come to the inner room to accompany her after copying the book, but she couldn't wait for a long time, so she checked it and reported that Yuanhang was reading a book, and she walked out angrily.
Seeing that Yuanhang was careful, the ninth princess lost her temper, and ordered Birou to bring fragrant tea, and personally took it and sent it to Yuanhang. Yuanhang caught a glimpse of a cup of tea on the table, looked up and saw that it was the Ninth Princess, and hurriedly looked at the three scribes on the other side.
"Don't worry, they don't have eyes." The ninth princess blinked her right eye playfully twice, Yuanhang smiled knowingly, and continued to look at the historical records, and the ninth princess sat down obediently and accompanied him.
I opened the second page casually, and it was written: March 18, the hour of the hour. Thirty-six selected women gathered outside the Helan Palace, and each woman accompanied two palace maids entered the Helan Hall one by one. The Empress Dowager of Qingyu in the palace, Emperor Chun'an and Empress Helan sat on it separately and looked at it carefully.
There are three concubines, six concubines, nine wives, and the rest are beauties.
Yuanhang took a sip of the teacup, and looked up to see the ninth princess looking at him intently, her eyes full of affection. When the ninth princess saw Yuanhang coming, she pursed her lips and chuckled, and said, "You just need to look at it, don't worry about me." ”
Yuanhang smiled back and continued to watch.
The whole article on the third page is a remark, which reads: Han Xuelu, the Longhai people of Quanzhou, the eldest daughter of Han Dangye, the eldest daughter of Han Dangye, the eldest daughter of Longhai County, Quanzhou, is seventeen years old, and is a concubine. White raincoat, Luzhou people's clan, the second daughter of Luzhou garrison Bai Qinggen, sixteen years old, the imperial concubine Zhuang. Ning Zijiao, the second daughter of the boss Du Ning Wenxuan, is seventeen years old, and is a virtuous concubine. Kang Yijia, a native of Jiangzhou......
Yuanhang didn't look any further, because the people he was looking for had already appeared, and they were all named concubines in the primary.
Concubine Shu, the mother of the Nine Princesses, that is, the later Emperor Shu Guifei, gave birth to the four princes and the nine princesses for the first emperor, and is also the only living imperial concubine among the three, and has now been respected as the queen mother by Emperor Yinwen.
Concubine Zhuang is the biological mother of Emperor Yinwen and Emperor Chun'an's favorite concubine during his lifetime. It's just that for some reason, a few years after giving birth to Emperor Yinwen, he died suddenly in his bedroom.
Concubine Xian, the mother of the eldest prince, it is rumored that Emperor Chun'an has a general relationship with her, but the mother is more expensive than the son, and the most gentleman is the eldest prince, and because of the prominent family background of the concubine, her father's official position is the highest in this concubine selection, and she was later elected by the Empress Dowager Qingyu as the mother of the middle palace and became the queen.
"Huh? That's not right. Yuanhang muttered, Emperor Chun'an already had Queen Helan when he chose a concubine, so there must be other concubines, why did he have an heir from the concubines selected this time?
The voyage thought for a while, and then looked for it again. When I was twelve years old, I just saw the book that said that Zhuang Guifei died in eighteen years, what happened in the past six years?
Sure enough, looking for it in this era, a historical record recorded: On the ninth day of August in the thirteenth year of Chun'an, Queen Helan swam in the imperial garden, and Concubine Shi and Concubine Xian accompanied her. To Lingqing Lake, in the Wanlang Bridge, take bait and gather fish, lean on the fence to feed. Suddenly, there was a sound, the railing cracked, and Queen Helan fell into the lake. When there was no one else around, the virtuous concubine knew a little about the water nature and went into the lake to save her. However, it was too late, Queen Helan drowned in the lake, and was pregnant for more than three months when she died.
It turned out that a year and a half after the concubines entered the palace, the queen died unexpectedly, pitying the son in the womb.
Continuing to read, a passage was recorded in the court.
On the tenth day of the first month of September, Empress Helan had died for a month, and the old ministers of the two dynasties, Situ Zhongda, wrote to the court, asking for the establishment of the country, and the hundred officials echoed it, but the emperor did not allow it. Immediately the dynasty issued a decree, and there was no queen for five years in the country, in order to read Helan. The Empress Dowager Qingyu was angry, and the emperor and the queen were deeply in love, so they threatened each other with abdication, but they had no choice but to allow it.
Yuanhang held the historical record in his hand, and that period of history appeared in his mind, and admired Emperor Chun'an in his heart. All dynasties and dynasties are not allowed to go without a mother for a day, and he can not set up a queen for five years in order to miss his wife, which shows that Emperor Chun'an is a person who is very affectionate, and should have deep feelings for Queen Helan.
"Princess, the historical records selected by Lord Ye have been copied." Yuan Hang was looking at it in his heart, and the scribe came over and said to the princess.
"Copied it? Is there anything missing? The ninth princess almost fell asleep on the table with her chin propped up, rubbed her eyes and asked back.
"Word for word, never omitted."
The Ninth Princess looked at the voyage and asked, "Do you want to copy anything else?" ”
Yuanhang shook his head with a smile and said to the three transcribers, "No need, just copy these." Please refrain from publicizing today's events. ”
"Do you hear that? Whoever dares to chew his tongue I cut his tongue. The ninth princess turned her face faster than Yuanhang turned the book, and just now she was laughing at Yuanhang, and when she turned around, she shouted loudly.
"The lower officials don't dare, please rest assured princess." Several people hurriedly bowed down, and the temper of the nine princesses changed as soon as they said it, which was well-known in the palace. The emperor still avoided her for three points, and he dared to provoke her.
"Stand down." The Ninth Princess waved the transcribers out.
"He's been here for a long time, but do you want to see him?" The ninth princess's voice was pitiful, and Yuanhang could barely hear it.
"Who?" Yuanhang looked up and asked.
"Who else? Aren't you going to see him? The Ninth Princess glared at him angrily.
"Oh, where?"
The ninth princess bowed to the left side of the room, got up and went in. Yuanhang put the historical record in his hand on the table, got up and followed.
There was a person standing in the room, it was Wang Jin's father-in-law.
Yuanhang smiled, stepped forward to salute, and said: "Thank you to the prince for helping me several times, this official will remember it." ”
Wang Jin returned the salute with a smile and said: "Your Excellency is polite, you have long known that your adult is not a thing in the pool, and now the princess advises, our family has already known in our hearts, but please rest assured." ”
"Hehe, I have something that I need my father-in-law's help." The two of them leaned together and muttered.
"Princess, I'm going to leave the palace too." He walked over and took the historical record he had just copied into his arms.
"Aren't you staying in the palace?"
"No, the emperor sent me to do something."
The Ninth Princess stood up, stood in front of the voyage, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for your news tomorrow." ”
"Well, okay......" Yuanhang was secretly ashamed in his heart. Ninth Princess, I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint you.
"Giggles, Xianggong......" The ninth princess stepped forward and threw herself into the arms of the voyage with an excited face.
Coming out of the palace, he sailed back to the inn to join them without a shadow.
"My lord, the dark spirits in the back hall have gathered a lot of information." Ah, Kim said, standing beside Yuanhang.
"Well, I'll talk about it later, and I'll order them to keep investing."
Wuying hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, don't you go to the Siwei Mansion to have a look?" ”
Yuanhang stopped his movements and remembered Yilan. Now that Situ Hao has not returned from leading the army, Yilan's mother is home alone, and she should go to visit her when she comes to the back hall, but how should she face her old man?
"Forget it, I don't have the shame to face it, let's go to the school barracks first." Yuanhang dropped a sentence, took out the history book from his bosom and put it in the package, turned around and walked out of the room. Dao Zi and the others looked at each other, each picked up the package and followed out.
Standing at the door of the inn, he glanced in the direction of the palace, paused for a moment, and got into the carriage. Wuying and the others tied Kuroko to the back of the car, got on their horses, and escorted the carriage out of the inn.
Nine princesses, don't blame me. I know that you have deep affection, but although the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is always ruthless. I don't dare to take my own family to take risks, so I have to wronged you, I hope you and I will not meet again in the future, and we will forget each other.
Yuanhang leaned on the carriage, reached out and took out the copied historical records from the package, and looked at them carefully.
On July 26, the eighteenth year of Chun'an, Concubine Zhuang died suddenly in Yuxi Palace, and there were thousands of weeping in the palace, all of whom were white. The emperor was very sad, he did not eat for three days, lay on the couch for five days, and flowed for seven days. The next day, a group of 88 people in Yuxi Palace died.
It seems that Emperor Chun'an really loves Concubine Zhuang, and he has been sad for many days. Yuanhang smiled lightly, the deep palace was resentful, and when he was favored, he was in front of the people, but he didn't know that when he fell out of favor, the high wall was cold, and the message was silent.
The following notes give a detailed account of the sudden death of Concubine Zhuang Guifei, and the voyage reads it word by word.
At noon, Concubine Zhuang was lying on the couch, retreating from everyone, and the palace maid was waiting outside. When Shen was still awake, he didn't dare to disturb. Concubine Shu came to probe and led people in, and suddenly saw Concubine Zhuang falling under the bed, her head east and feet west, lying prone on the ground. The left hand is pressed under the chest, the right hand is stretched forward to the head, and the index finger is pointed to the hanger screen. The imperial doctor arrived in a moment, but Concubine Zhuang had died. When the emperor heard the news, he wept profusely. The body was examined, and there was no toxicity in the body, no injuries in the skin, only bruises on the left forehead. To conclude the conclusion, the heat was so hot that the breath was not smooth, the mind was unbearable, and he accidentally fell to the ground when he turned over, and his head was touched, until he died.
After reading the voyage, he exhaled a long breath and put the historical record into the package. Just looking at the historical records, I can't see anything strange, it seems that I can only wait for the news of the dark spirit and Wang Jin. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are countless officials in the DPRK and China, how can you blame me for all the difficult things.
Suddenly remembering something, Yuanhang took out the historical records and looked at them again.
Concubine Zhuang died in July of the eighteenth year of Chun'an, and Empress Helan died in early August of the thirteenth year, and she did not stand for five years...... In other words, when Concubine Zhuang died, it was when Emperor Chun'an was about to become the queen, is this just a coincidence? No, it will never be such a coincidence, no wonder the emperor asked me to investigate this matter secretly, it seems that it is still very complicated.
......The carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and the dangling voyage was unsteady and crashed headlong into the carriage.
"Stop, who is so bold as to trespass into the barracks." With a loud shout outside the car, Yuanhang heard a series of knife draws.
"Hurry up and tell your general, my lord asks to see you." Ah Kim turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said.
"Who is your adult?"
"Lord Jiangzhou Garrison Ye."
"What do you want to see General Mu, can you have a card? No entry is allowed without a card. "The soldier was very careful and did not dare to be careless.
Yuanhang lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car, and saw no less than a dozen soldiers outside the school grounds, drawing swords against each other.
"But this one." Yuanhang took out a silver medal handed over to him by the emperor from his bosom and threw it over.
The soldier took it and looked at it, looked up at Yuanhang again, and said with a fist: "My lord, please wait a moment, and let your subordinates go in and report it." ”
Mu Pingzheng, the head of the barracks in this school field, came out of the tent, and the soldiers guarding the door ran over and said, "General, someone outside the barracks asks to see him, hand over this card." ”
Mu Ping took a look and hurriedly ran to the door of the barracks. The barracks are all made of iron, and the silver medalists can mobilize the soldiers and horses, but the momentum of the comers is not small, how dare he delay.
"The last general, Mu Ping, see your lord."
Yuanhang saw a general in his thirties running out, thinking that he should be the commander of the barracks, he returned the salute with a smile, and said: "I have seen General Mu, this official came here to meet the businessman who is imprisoned here, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
"Adults have silver cards, so naturally you can, please." Mu Ping flashed, please sail first.
When he entered the barracks, he saw that the soldiers inside were in good spirits, and their swords and guns were shining, and Yuanhang nodded. This is the elite of the Liang State, they are shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the royal capital, and it seems that after they return to Jiangzhou, they will have to train their soldiers well.
"Are you here to persuade you to surrender? This person is extremely stubborn, and many officials have been here before, but they can't move his heart. Mu Ping followed Yuanhang's side, saying as he walked.
"Well, I'm just coming to see." Yuanhang replied with a smile.
"My lord, this is it." Mu Ping pointed to the left, and a separate house appeared in front of him, this house was facing the wall on two sides, and the other two sides were heavily guarded, so that not even a fly could fly out.
"Okay, General Lao Mu is waiting outside for a while, I'll go in and have a look."
"Don't worry, my lord, the end will be waiting here."
Yuanhang nodded to him and walked towards the house.
