Chapter 419: Emperor Star Fall (4)
King Wu stood for a long time with a letterhead in his hand, then suddenly walked to the door, bowed down to the north, and kowtowed three times in a row. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When he raised his head, his fat face was once again covered with tears. "Father, the son and the emperor remember the teachings, even if the sword and axe are added, they will never do anything that worries you and the queen mother. You... Rest assured. Standing up, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Feng'er, go to the account room and get 10,000 taels of silver tickets." ā
Ji Feng did as he said, and walked back not long after going out. Taking the silver ticket from his hand, King Wu handed it to Wang Li. "The Prince...
"Lord Wang, this must not be." Wang Li took a step back and said: "The old slave has saved some silver taels over the years, and there is no problem with providing for the elderly, this time it is to help His Majesty do the last thing, since it is enough to complete the wish, how can he still accept the gift of silver." ā
"Princess, you misunderstood." King Wu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and then continued: "This silver is not a gift from this king, but a reward from his father, his old man told him in the letter, if his father-in-law does not accept it, won't this king even be able to fulfill his father's last wish?" ā
As he spoke, he handed over the letterhead in his hand as well.
Wang Li has no knowledge, but he still knows a few big characters, especially Ji Chong's words, who have served him for decades, and the old eunuch knows his writing habits and tone of speech, so even if he can't understand a few words in the middle, he can guess a rough idea.
The hands holding the letterhead gradually trembled, and the old eunuch suddenly let out a wail, and fell to his knees and wailed. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! In the end, you never forgot the old slave, the old slave me... Your Majesty! ā
"Father-in-law, please mourn." It will be the turn of King Wu to speak of relief, and after helping him up, King Wu said: "My father's reward, please don't push it back." ā
Wang Li snorted, and replied with his chin: "Your Majesty's will, the old slave will not dare to disobey in death, and the old slave accepted this silver ticket." As he spoke, he folded the silver ticket with a reverent face and carefully tucked it into the gap between his chest. He raised his hand too much and saluted King Wu. "Lord Wang, the old slave has fulfilled his duties, and his majesty's master and servant can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, and there are no regrets in my heart. Since then, he has been at ease in the countryside, and he can still have this blessing to serve His Majesty after death, and the old slave has taken his leave. ā
Nodding, King Wu returned the salute. "Take care."
"Take care, prince." As he spoke, he raised his hand to look at Jiang Yun again. "Master Jiang, take care."
"Take care, father-in-law."
Wang Li left, and his back looked very depressed and lonely. In a sense, eunuchs were a highly polarized group. They are not all six roots, not only do they not need to think about future generations, but they don't even have to think about the next life, since ancient times, the king of Hades does not accept eunuchs, and they don't even have the opportunity to reincarnate. Therefore, almost all eunuchs only seek this life, some want to enjoy money, some want to be famous and right, and all these will inevitably end up harming others and themselves.
In addition, there is also Wang Li. Although he also loves money, he takes it in a good way, at best, he wants to leave some protection for himself. He gave most of his life to the court and gave Ji Zhong. Now that the emperor has died, he may be the saddest and loneliest one in the world.
After Wang Li left, everyone in the hall sat down again. The emperor will die sooner or later, all of which are expected, but when something really happens, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of surprise. Ji Feng was silent, sitting quietly and not knowing what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, King Wu suddenly spoke: "After making some preparations, I will leave tomorrow and go to Beijing for the funeral." ā
"Dad, you can't go." Ji Feng glanced at him with complicated eyes, and then persuaded: "Grandpa Huang died suddenly, the crown prince may have succeeded to the throne at this moment, he and I have never been on good terms, and the embankment is quite bad. Now that he has ascended the throne, no one knows what his attitude is towards the vassal kings. If it's good, it's good, but what if it's bad? Don't forget, the emperor's grandfather took the opportunity of the emperor's funeral and the king's funeral to wipe out all the nets. ā
Saying that, he sneered: "If the current emperor is the eldest uncle, we naturally don't need to worry about this, but Ji Qiyun... Although there are false benevolences and false righteousness, more of them are really narrow-minded and cautious, and they will be repaid. If Dad rushes to Beijing, I'm afraid there will be accidents. ā
"Daddy you said naturally knows." King Wu shook his head and sighed: "When the queen mother died, my father was unable to go to Beijing to see her old man for the last time because he was sitting in Jinling, which is really one of the biggest regrets in life." Now that my father is dead, if my father doesn't go, won't he be a son of man in vain? ā
"Having said that, my father, as a vassal king, does not bear the responsibility of one person and one family." Ji Feng insisted: "The people of Jiangnan must rely on your protection. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, but he did not announce it to the world for the first time, which shows that his heart is not open at all. In this way, how dare the rest of the vassal kings take it lightly? We will also wait and see what happens, and if we are not careful, the world will be in chaos. If you are trapped in the capital at that time, who will clean up this mess? ā
"Daddy." Ji Feng said earnestly: "Grandpa Huang has worked hard all his life, making my Great Zhou national fortune thriving, but the hidden dangers are not small, the wolves in the east are feeding, the north is eyeing the tiger, and if the Great Zhou is chaotic and no one has the ability to turn the tide, it is definitely not the blessing of the people in the world." The child begs you to put the world and the people first, and not to take risks and do such foolish things. ā
Hearing this, instead of being angry, King Wu was relieved, a smile appeared on his fat face, and he said lightly: "Feng'er, you have such knowledge, it can be seen that you have the ability to take charge alone." After my father leaves, you have to take care of the land south of the Yangtze River. ā
Seeing that he still insisted on leaving, Ji Luo couldn't help but get up and hurriedly said: "Daddy, what the eldest brother said is right, the capital is now a tiger's den in Longtan, you must not go, if something is wrong, what should my daughter do." ā
"What are you afraid of?" Hearing this, King Wu glared at Jiang Yun and said, "That stinky boy still dares to bully you?" ā
Jiang Yun sneered and touched his nose. King Wu snorted coldly, and then said softly: "Xi'er and Jin'er are both married, and your wedding day is not far away, I am very relieved to these three sons-in-law, and I will not treat you badly." After all these years, my father's promise to your mother has finally been fulfilled. Dad has no regrets in this life, what else can't be seen? ā
As he spoke, he turned to Ji Feng and said seriously: "Feng'er, my father said in the letter that my father's temperament is quite similar to him, and my father thinks so. Therefore, my father's feelings are also deeply understood by my father. Dad has promised his father, and the only obsession in his heart has been let go, whether it is life or death, there is no longer any difference. Jiangnan will be handed over to you, if it is... If something happens in the future, you just have to do it according to your heart, don't think about your father, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and your father can restrain himself, but he doesn't want to bind you into it. ā
"Feng'er." He patted Ji Feng on the shoulder, and said with his chin bowed: "Listen to your Uncle Xu's opinion if you have something, don't go your own way." The burden on my father's shoulders will be handed over to you today, so that you can do it yourself. ā
"Dad..."
Ji Feng originally planned to leave King Wu in Jiangnan at all costs, but after hearing his father's heartfelt words, he gave up his previous idea. He is the eldest son, and he knows his father's feelings very well. The queen passed away, and Ji Chong did not canonize the queen again. After the death of his mother, his father was not even completely close to women. The motivation that supports him to continue living may be the thoughts that should not be there, and the three younger sisters who missed and cared about his mother before she died.
Now Ji Zhong has a suicide note, completely breaking his father's thoughts, and the three sisters have found their own happiness, and now their father has indeed no worries. In that case, why not let him go to the capital for funeral? At least he could, but there was a regret in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ji Feng didn't say much, and said with his head bowed: "In this case, Dad, be careful yourself, don't worry about the affairs of Jiangnan, the child has his own measure." ā
"Okay."
The emperor is dead, and King Wu is going to Beijing again, Ji Feng has made up his mind to take advantage of the opportunity that the imperial court has no time to look south, and first completely integrate Jiangnan. Then wait for the opportunity, wait and see the reactions of all parties, if there is an opportunity, you have to find Ji Qiyun to settle the old account.
