Chapter 157: A Thousand Miles to a Good Country
More than half of the trip to Beijing has passed, and the prince feels that the Taoist idiot reacts abnormally, becoming more and more eccentric, and the capital does not say anything, but often sighs secretly. For things like reading historical materials with him, he was also a little inattentive.
Shizi watched it for two days, and finally couldn't help asking, "Erlang, what's wrong with you?" Like you have something on your mind? ”
The Taoist idiot was a little uncomfortable and said: "I don't have anything else on my mind, but I just want to be Anlu." ”
When the prince heard this, he was stunned.
He is just a half-grown teenager who has never left An Lu, and after the initial panic and excitement, the Taoist idiot successfully aroused his "homesickness".
That night, when he was in the carriage under the station, the prince looked to the southwest and stood for a long time.
In the conversation with the Taoist idiot, the prince no longer only thought about how to deal with the powerful ministers and the queen mother in Beijing, and began to mention the princess and the two county lords, as well as Lu Song and the Fan family.
The person he mentioned the most outside of his words, except for the princess, was Fan. One of these two people is born and the other is nurtured, and it sounds like the weight in the hearts of the sons of the world.
In addition to being an audience, Dao idiots also began to talk about their own affairs.
The old monk who taught him to behave in Xishan Temple, the father Wang who took care of him when he grew up, and the Wang Ning family and Shunniang who regarded him as flesh and blood after going down the mountain, as well as the two Uncle Liu and Uncle Cui who only met in Layue last year.
There are also Rong Niang, who has a cool personality, and Wang Sanlang, who is sincere.
Speaking of these, he also felt lucky in his heart.
In the past three years, Jiangnan has been flooded for three consecutive years, and many people have been displaced. Even if the family has good land, the annual harvest is insufficient. If he doesn't have relatives and friends to help, not to mention that he married Shunniang, even the lives of his grandparents and grandchildren also have problems.
Despite the presence of Xishan Temple, the help of others is just the icing on the cake. But if there is no legitimate help from others, it is not easy to get the money in Xishan Temple.
The half moon in the heart of the prince was frightened, and when he heard the idiot mention these warm scenes, his spirit also relaxed.
However, the peculiar suspicion of the superior made him suspicious again.
Seeing the smile on the face of the idiot, as if there was nostalgia, the prince only felt dazzling, and frowned: "Erlang is too simple. Of course, there is true love in this world, but there is also hypocrisy driven by various interests. The eldest lady of the Wang family and Wang Sanlang are both from the Yang family, and their mothers can't tolerate you, where can they give birth to sincerity? And your two uncles, even if they have been away from home for many years, if they have the heart to investigate, they should know about you as soon as possible. Ignoring it for more than ten years, a little favor wants to get a cheap nephew, but what you see is that you are in the show, and you are the companion of this king, and there is a biological father who is in the third grade, they may have a place to rely on you. ”
In fact, he didn't think much of his grandmother and sister in his heart.
The Taoist idiot was originally a concubine of a rich and noble family, and he passed to a poor family. Even if he only brought his biological mother's dowry, it was much thicker than the original family background. This is a succession, and the Taoist idiot does not take advantage of it at all, but suffers too much, has no shade to take care of, and has to bear the burden of marrying his sister and worshipping his elders. Even if those two care for the Dao idiot, they should be, because the Dao idiot is the one who supports the portal. Even if it is not a Taoist idiot, it is other clansmen, as women and children, they can only be used with their hearts.
When the idiot heard this, he didn't know how to continue.
Maybe these people have some other thoughts about him, but there are also some sincere ones. He himself is not 100% sincere, so naturally he is not demanding of others. He just looks good.
The son's opinion is too sharp and too negative.
He looked at the son of the world, genuinely puzzled.
In other royal mansions, there may be intrigue and intrigues, and the environment in which children grow up is darker. Kexing Wangfu here, King Xing is the first king, and the queen house is simple like an ordinary rich family, a wife and a concubine and a few nameless rooms.
The princess is dominant, Mrs. Wang is docile and peaceful, and several rooms are silent.
The younger generation of the palace, except for the late second county lord, are all princesses. When the prince landed, the eldest prince died for many years, and he was the child that the prince and the princess had been looking forward to for a long time.
is such a pampered and raised son, why is his heart so gloomy.
Looking at the ignorance of the Taoist idiot, Shizi Zhengse said: "You raised in the mountains, and you know too little about the world, even if you have some knowledge, you get it from books." The human heart is complex, and sometimes it is difficult to write a book. You will slowly come to know in the future that you have a cautious temperament, and you are rarely moved by outsiders, and the only ones who can really touch you are your approved relatives and friends. That's why you have to be more careful, because the closer people you are, the more aware your weaknesses are, and the more terrible they are than outsiders. ”
Speaking of this, Shizi didn't know what to think of, and his mood was a little low.
The idiot mentioned these things and wanted to make the prince more "human", but where would he have thought that the prince would become more and more gloomy.
He really had a headache this time.
Except for the "loss of his father at a young age", he really couldn't imagine that the son of the world could have encountered any setbacks that made him so.
Earlier, when I was in the palace, I didn't have anything, but I felt that the prince was a little dull and not lively enough; On the way to Beijing, I don't know if it's because of too much pressure, the gloomy aspect of the prince's temperament is becoming more and more obvious......
No matter how gloomy the temperament of the prince is, as long as he is not stupid, there is nothing to be afraid of. When I think about it, the idiot will be much more relaxed, no longer do any small actions, return to the old appearance, read books, look at the scenery, accompany the world to read books, and play with Lu Bing and Tiger Head.
If there is no desire, he is strong, and he suddenly becomes comfortable.
Shizi gets along with him day and night, and naturally discovers his changes.
However, in the eyes of the prince, the Taoist idiot is too "homesick", and he is hooked by Lu Bing to be more lively.
For this, the prince is happy to see. In his eyes, Lu Bing and Dao idiots are both children, occasionally childish, and it is normal to be lively.
was taken by Lu Bing and Dao Idiot, and the atmosphere in the carriage was no longer as dull as before, and occasionally there was laughter.
The subordinate officials of the palace still did not dare to slack off, and the Qincha from the capital, who claimed to be smart, felt that he had figured out the temper of the prince, an occasional wayward child. To say that he is willful refers to the fact that he was closed to Gu Dayong when he was in Anlu. He is said to be childish, because of his age, and the indulgence and moodiness of the attendants along the way.
Originally, it was expected to travel from Anlu to the capital on the 22nd, starting from Anlu on the second day of the first month of April, arriving at the outskirts of Beijing on the 22nd, and arriving in the capital on the 23rd.
Not only should the throne not be empty for a long time, but also the aftermath of Emperor Daxing should not be delayed any longer.
The Son of Heaven has a decree that "the day replaces the month, and the thirty-ninth day is removed", but the heir of the Son of Heaven has not arrived, not only the courtiers cannot be removed, but the Emperor Daxing cannot be discharged.
However, because the previous schedule was tight enough, even after arriving in Zhili, everyone accelerated their speed, and they only arrived at Liangxiang on the outskirts of Beijing one day in advance.
Liangxiang is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, 60 miles away from Beijing, and is the gate of Beijing. Officials from Huguang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, and other places all pass through this place when they enter Beijing to rest and recuperate, or arrange in advance for people to listen to the news of the capital again.
Although the biggest official in Liangxiang County is only Qipinzhi County, even the horseman and Xiao Er can boast a few words, and they have seen a certain adult's car passing through here.
The restaurants and teahouses in the county town have also flourished, and the prosperity of the market can be seen.
Then, in late April of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, just a few days after the news of the national funeral spread, the gentry and people in Liangxiang County discovered the abnormality.
There are tens of thousands of Jingwei in the capital who have moved to Liangxiang, and there are Jinyiwei's horsemen riding horses on the side of the street from time to time. Those ruffians and hooligans who usually begged for a living in the market were unlucky and were all taken away. Even if there were occasionally two fish that slipped through the net and hid at home, they were arrested and imprisoned by the yamen with brocade guards.
Liangxiang Zhixian looked at the hundreds of people in the prison and wanted to hang himself.
Although he knew that Jinyiwei acted like this, it was to clean up the law and order in Liangxiang, in case there was a small night that disturbed the emperor's holy drive. But he, the magistrate, is also too unlucky, not only can't borrow a little light, but because of these people's mistakes, he can't even fall well in the evaluation.
However, as the heads and brains of the six departments and nine Qings in the capital gathered in Liangxiang, the more he had no room to speak, the more he could only nod and entertain the Beijing officials after the six subordinate officials.
After the news from Liangxiang's side, after the heir Tianzi and his party arrived in conscience on April 21, Liangxiang began martial law.
Within a radius of one mile from the official post, only officers and soldiers are allowed to be stationed, and officials and ordinary people are not allowed to appear.
Waiting in Liangxiang, in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were ordered to welcome the emperor into Beijing, there were also six chief officials and officials.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites are the responsibility, and the heirs of the Son of Heaven need to be presided over by the Ministry of Rites to enter Beijing, enter the palace, and ascend the throne, and the chief officials and officials of the six ministries are like the previous Gu Dayong, who went out of Beijing to greet each other, wanting to show their faces in front of the Son of Heaven and show their loyalty.
On April 21, there are many sedan chairs, many horses, and many officials.
The Taoist idiot was finally allowed to ride a horse, and Lu Bing, Hutou and others were left and right in the carriage of the son. continued to stay in the carriage, except for the prince, there were only two internal officials, Huang Jin and Lu Fang.
Even if he knew that hundreds of officials would greet him, the carriage of the prince of the world went directly into the hall that had been under martial law, and he was not in a hurry to meet everyone.
Although he has not yet entered the capital, the prince has already arrived in Liangxiang, and he will enter the city tomorrow, and the Qincha who welcomed the prince into Beijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if it is heavily guarded, it is a matter of imperial power, and everyone is careful in their hearts. If the Emperor makes the slightest mistake on the road, they are sinners. Now that the heir emperor has arrived successfully, when he ascends the throne, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and few of them will be promoted and rich.
Dao idiot and Lu Bing, the unworthy "attendants", were also temporarily able to step down after entering the pavilion. In addition to the internal officials serving around the prince, it was the subordinate officials of the palace led by Yuan Chonggao who communicated with the news. Only the tiger head, because of his identity as a guard, still follows the son of the world.
Although the Liangxiang official post is a big post, there are too many big people in the line of the prince who can't stand it.
More than 160 people from the palace came from the palace, except for the internal officials, guards, and subordinate officials of the higher ranks, the others were placed in the inn near the post station.
Lu Bing and Dao Idiot were also placed in the official post because they were the "attendants" of the prince, but looking at the room of ten people and the crowded courtyard of Dengdeng, the two said hello to Fan and Lu Song and went to the inn to settle down.
Along the way, most of them are staying outside, and bathing is extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, after the two of them negotiated two rooms at the inn, they bathed and changed their clothes first.
Before the idiot finished bathing, he heard someone outside shouting "Erlang" and pushing the door in......
