Chapter 706: People
"Xu Jie and several princes. led the hundreds of officials in the minister's office, greeted outside the palace gate, the wind blew the flag and made a rustling sound, and the people in the field were silent. After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves. Everyone repented and looked away, and they saw two teams of royal forest captains in gold armor and red cloaks, riding neatly on horseback. When they reached the palace first, the procession stopped, drove the horses out of the veil, and stood on both sides of the red carpet with their chests and stomachs. When he was young, from the Yuwang Mansion to the direction of the West Garden, he was full of mighty guards in five steps, and the precursor of the Dutch Emperor's book of connoisseurship. After a while, Fang faintly heard the sound of palace tunes and music, and saw a pair of honor guards holding standing melons, lying melons, stars, and money each four, five-color golden dragon flags, five-color dragon sen, Shuanglong Huang Tuan fan ten, and yellow nine dragon umbrellas each, and came on the red carpet.
When the flag-carrying guard of honor passed, there were twenty guards on guard, surrounded by a yellow canopy with a nine-dragon crank, and under the canopy was the emperor's chariot. It was followed by two hundred guards with guns, swords, bows and arrows, and finally the palace was poisoned by the Yellow Dragon!
After one of his teams passed, seeing the emperor's steps coming slowly, the ministers hurriedly knelt down on the side of the road. He said in unison: "The ministers welcome the holy driver, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
The eunuch Huang Jin appeared beside Bu Yuan and said in a loud voice: "Flat, but the emperor did not stay, but went straight into King Yu's mansion."
All the middle doors of this Hongwangfu are wide open. Standing outside the gate, you can always see the open six entrances and twelve middle gates, and there are all the honor guards standing outside. When the emperor drove in, the greeting adults also got up and lined up to follow in according to their identities, but not many could get to the innermost, and most of them almost stopped in front and returned to their seats, and were not qualified to follow up.
But those who are qualified to follow to the innermost part saw Prince Yu helping the emperor to get down from the chariot, or rather. The emperor allowed King Yu to come in a car with him.
Today's Yu Wang Ye is full of energy and has a smile on his face. Half bowed down to help his father get out of the car, Jiajing was still the same Jiajing, and he was still reluctant to put on a dragon robe after leaving the palace, but wore a black Taoist robe embroidered with gold thread and Tao Te Ching, with only a Taoist scarf tied to his head, looking at the fairy wind bones from behind. But if you turn positively, you will see the emaciation of aging. It's already impossible to cover it up.
Jiajing couldn't walk anymore, so he forced himself to get down from the chariot, and sat on the waist that had been prepared a long time ago, but he was in a very good mood today, looked at the people around him, looked at the blue sky, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Today is a good day." ”
Li Fang stood on the left behind Jiajing, and said with a smile: "God knows that the master is going to see the emperor and grandson, and he specially gave him a good weather." ”
"Hehe" Jiajing smiled when he heard this: "What about Lian's grandson, come and show Lian." ”
Invite your father to enter the palace to rest, and King Yu said respectfully: "Erchen, go and bring the child." ”
"Hmm," Ka nose nodded. The waist was carried to the main hall, and King Yu walked quickly to the back house, and after a while, leading the concubine Niangniang, as well as Concubine Li, who was holding the child, appeared in the hall in full costume, and paid homage to his father.
"Hurry up." Jiajing said with a smile: "Quickly bring the child over." ”
King Yu glanced at Concubine Li and nodded at her, and Concubine Li got up with the support of the palace maid, walked to the emperor with the child in her arms, handed it to Li Fang and Li Chief, and then knelt.
Li Fang carefully hugged the child, and said with a smile on her face: "Oh, this little ancestor is really blessed, the emperor takes a look, these big black eyes are really like."
As soon as he said it, the emperor was also itchy. Said: "Hold it and take a look." Li Fang sent the child to Jiajing and let the prince face Jiajing.
The little son who was born with a lot of expectations was not born beautiful, but the child is his own good, and Jiajing can vaguely see what he looked like when he was a child from his face. And in this world, perhaps there is really a blessing to the soul, the child, who is just a hundred days old, flashed bright eyes, looked at the strange thin old man in front of him, not only did not cry or make trouble, but actually laughed.
This magical smile is like a spring breeze and rain. It actually made Emperor Jiajing's sacred heart, which had been cold for many years, soften, and under the domination of something called family affection, Jiajing's face showed a rare kind smile, he actually clapped his hands, stretched out his arms, and said, "Come, let grandpa hug." ”
Li Fang held the child to Jiajing. Jiajing carefully held the child, his movements were very rusty and stiff, but the smile on his face became more and more kind and natural, and the child did not feel uncomfortable, still smiling at Jiajing, and stretched out his little hand to grab his beard.
See this scene. Beads of sweat oozed from the faces of King Yu and Concubine Li, lest their father and emperor be angry and dislike this child.
But Jiajing's bad temper did not work on the child at all, on the contrary, he still enjoyed the feeling of being held by the little hand, and couldn't put it down to hold the child on his lap and sit down, and said to King Yu: "The child's name, Lian has already thought of it, you are a father, see if it fits." Li Fang took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, bowed down and presented it to King Yu and said, "Lord Wang, please take a look." ”
King Yu's hands wiped on his clothes, respectfully took the yellow paper, opened it and read softly: "Zhu Yijun."
"Yes, Emperor Zhu Hujun Jiajing said slightly proudly: "This name is calculated by Lianlian after spending a few days deducing the innate five elements, the six gods of Heluo, and the number of Ziwei Doushu, and it will definitely be disease-free and disaster-free in the future, and the blessings are boundless."
In fact, King Yu doesn't care what the name is, what he cares about is his father's attitude, and he has never been sad now. Yu Mang was happy, but he also felt that he had never enjoyed this kind of family affection, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his son. Jiajing is weak after all, although Zhu Langjun has no weight, but holding this for a while has made him unbearable, Li Fang observed his words and whispered: "Master, hand over the prince to the slave." ”
"Hmm" Jiajing nodded, kissed the child's pink cheeks, and then reluctantly handed it to Li Fang, and watched Li Fang transfer it to Concubine Li. Jiajing said to Concubine Li, who was holding the child: "You are the hero of my Zhu family, and I want to reward you heavily." ”
Concubine Li hurriedly knelt down and said: "This is the kindness of my father who respects heaven and loves the people, and it is the pure and filial piety of the prince, and the concubines dare not say anything."
Seeing that the woman answered appropriately, Jiajing's face looked better, and said with a smile: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded." You can be the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and you also gave birth to a grandson, it is a great blessing, thank you for your mother's family, and asked her: "What is your mother's background?."
"Back to my father, the concubine was born in a small family, and my father was a mason," Concubine Li said in a voice like a mosquito. She said this, in addition to appearing honest, there are other considerations, in order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty has never intermarried with the powerful and prominent, so the queens and concubines have always been from families, and she reported herself to the family, but also to reassure the emperor.
"Hehe" Jiajing smiled disapprerovingly: "In that case, Lian will give your father a count."
Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, King Yu hurriedly pulled her sleeves, Concubine Li came to her senses, and quickly knelt down for the emperor and said: "The concubine is a concubine on behalf of her mother's family, thank your father for the emperor's grace!" As he spoke, he kowtowed and thanked him.
Jiajing smiled gently: "No need to be polite, bringing the emperor and grandson for the Lian is the greatest gratitude." The palace attendants helped Concubine Li up again. King Yu whispered: "Erchen has prepared a meal, and I respectfully ask my father to transfer the reward for it." ”
Jiajing had never eaten at his son's house, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and said, "Okay, Lian is here to bother."
King Yu was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and replied: "Sons and ministers are waiting for the grace of the dead, I would like to accompany my father and the emperor into fasting!" Immediately the music began to rise, and the palace people shuttled through the palace like a weave, offering the most sumptuous feast for the emperor and guests. One, heart, one,
A few families are happy and a few are sad. Compared with the lively Yuwang Mansion, King Jing's Mansion is deserted and ghostly.
King Jing, who was blue and bearded, was drinking sullen wine with a depressed face, and the palace people waiting on the side were trembling. lest the slightest mistake will lead to another beating.
King Jing's spirit was close to collapse. In this bleak autumn, his most trusted teacher, said that he was sick at home and refused to come to see him, and the rest of the henchmen all left him.
And even he, the commander, can't stay in the capital, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are already in the upper echelons. What to say, "The people of the world have been looking forward to King Jing for a long time, please don't delay it any longer." The Zongren Mansion also took out the ancestral law to prove that a vassal king of his age should not stay in the capital anymore. Although they were all old tunes, the effect was unprecedented, and Emperor Jiajing quickly approved the invitation of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion. He ordered Yousi to prepare for King Jing's affairs of the domain.
King Jing knew that he had completely lost this time, although there was no evidence that he had also participated in the rebellion of Yan Shifan and King Yi, but with Yuan Fu's negative performance in that incident, he was inevitably suspicious of Gua Tian Li. But the main reason for his failure was the birth of the prince of Yuwang, this damn child, so that he was no longer the only prince with an heir. It has lost the talisman it has always been.
He actually knew that most of the things he had done had not escaped the emperor's eyes, and the reason why he had not been triggered was because he was the only candidate to inherit the throne, and the emperor who threw a mouse and could not damage the reputation of the future heir of the empire, so he could only turn a blind eye. But now he's not the only one, he's not the first. The emperor is going to settle accounts with him.
Thinking about what he had done in the past, King Jing also knew that he was completely out of play, and it was already the best result for him to go to De'an Mansion to be a rich prince in peace, but he was unwilling. Jealousy and unwillingness gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake. It filled him with negative emotions. But now he is a tree and can't do anything. He could only use his majesty at home This morning, he beat Zhu Langyin and his mother concubine violently, which is almost a repertoire that must be performed every day.
But today, stimulated by King Yu's side, King Jing was a little heavy, and he directly knocked Zhu Langyin, who was only two years old, unconscious, and still hasn't woken up. The princess wanted to ask the imperial doctor to see her, but King Jing refused to allow it, and even threw out the imperial doctor who was stationed in the palace.
"Let him die. Let him die". Zhu Zaizhen was already broken, lying on the table, and muttered vague drunken words: "Shameful seed." Seed of iniquity, seed of evil"
Hearing this, all of them turned pale. I just hate why I'm here.
In the prison of the prison department of the prison god temple less than ten miles away from Chang'an Street, there was also a small wine banquet, where Shifan and Luo Fangwen bought wine and food from the jailers, and set them up on the ground, like a mold inlaid with potassium.
Luo Longwen asked: "We have already seen the recital of the Three Law Divisions, and it is completely convicted according to the idea of Donglou Gong. Does this mean that we can't die this time? ”
Yan Shifan sandwiched a piece of pig's head meat, chewed with enjoyment on his face, and said: Xiaohua, you can drink with confidence, we will not be able to die this time, within a few days, there will be a verdict, eighty percent or exiled for thousands of miles, this time we will go directly to Japan" said and said in a low voice: "In the past two years, I have a premonition that there will be this day, and I have turned most of my family's assets into a fleet at sea, and some of them." He has also sent people to the coastal islands to hide, and when we board the fleet, we will go to the treasure, and then we will have a ship and money. "Kill the king there, let's be happy to be an emperor." ”
Hearing that he had already arranged the back road, Luo Longwen also relieved himself and said, "I don't know how big our fleet is?" ”
"There are three of them. Each of them is a large ship of more than 100 ships. Yan Shifan stretched out three fingers and said, "They are all led by my henchmen and are attached to Wang Zhi's name." ”
Luo Longwen was overjoyed, and asked about the details of the fleet, Yan Shifan was also happy, and told him without concealment, and the two of them drank wine while obsessing about the future pirate life. Luo Longwen was excited, but he couldn't help but say a little sadly: "It's just that I'm afraid that it will be difficult to return to my homeland in this life,"
"Not necessarily." Yan Shifan shook his head and said: "Maybe the emperor still misses my father, and if he gives his grace, I don't know" Of course, he also felt unreliable, and sighed: "It's such a field now." It's already great to be able to go overseas and be the king," he said, with a hideous expression. The cheeks trembled and said: "I just hate that I can't take the head of the thieves of Shen Mo, Old Man Xu, and the subordinates and Lin Zhu, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" "He also knows, unless in the next life. Otherwise, there will be no chance of revenge.
Luo Longwen is still worried. Yan Shifan said with a smile: "There is wine today and drunk today, we will drink it first, and when we are released from prison, we will naturally believe in what I say, and my mother will say more!" So the two of them let go of their hearts, overate and drank, and after a while, they got drunk and lay down and fell asleep. ”,
Compare Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen. King Yi's treatment is much better, he is just under house arrest, in addition to losing his freedom, he has not lost his food and drink, of course, he is not as good as when he was in the palace. At least there were no women to keep him entertained.
But King Yi does not have Yan Shifan's "optimism", he is restless and suspicious by nature, he is in a state of panic every day, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, he can't sleep at night, he is already very thin, and he is now skinny and bone-lining, if he doesn't still fantasize that the emperor can read that his ancestor is the founding prince, he is extraordinarily gracious, let him go back, Zhu Dianheng is afraid that he really can't hold on.
In comparison, the other person who lived next door to him was in much better mental condition, and Chen Hong, the former chief of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, was pierced with a pipa bone and chained to prevent the master from injuring people or even escaping.
But Chen Hong seems to have lost interest in everything, including running away, and of course he can't. I saw him sitting on the bed with his hair scattered, his eyes blank, holding a broom in his left hand, pinching the broom hairs in his right hand, and tearing them off at a uniform speed and slowly. On his left-hand side, dozens of brand-new ...... were neatly stacked Broom.
It's not that the brothers of Jinyiwei are filial, but if there is no such thing, Chen Hong will roar manically, and he will only be quiet if he has to give him a broom to pull. Let's spend money to buy a quiet, so everyone bought him fifty brooms and let him tear them slowly and play.
Compared to all the above, Sister Yuan was more free, the emperor did not suspend him, everything was treated as usual, and he did not even restrict his freedom, but his condition was the worst among these people. On the way back to Beijing, he fell ill and came to Beijing to ask for medicine. But it is not good, but the day is not as good as the day, and there is only the last breath left.
Last night, he fainted for a while, and the imperial doctor said that he could prepare for the future, and the family cried and changed his life clothes, and the children and grandchildren stayed in front of the bed. Wait for the moment when he breathes.
Finally, it was noon. Sister Yuan returned to the light and opened her eyes to see her wife, children and grandchildren. Wheezed: "How do I listen to music?" ”
His eldest son whispered: "Yuwangfu celebrates the 100th birthday of the prince today, and the emperor has gone." ”
"Your Majesty," Sister Yuan's expression changed in a complicated way, and she murmured: "Yuan Wei is a loyal minister, and he never thought of plotting to usurp the throne!" ”
"Daddy," his son whispered, his face turned white with fright, "you can't talk nonsense." "After you finish talking about the dead ball, you are gone, and we who are alive will be sinned.
"It's okay" Sister Yuan looked left and right, crowded with people waiting to see him off, he knew that the ears and eyes of the brocade clothes must be mixed with it, so he used his last strength. The sentence said: "After I die, you go to the letter to ask for all treatment, but your father comes and goes naked, and you don't want anything, but you understand?" ”
Figured it out."
