The plum garden of Huaqing Palace is already a sea of flowers, the plum blossoms in full bloom, extract into bunches, roll into clusters, clusters, layer by layer, spread all over the sky like cloud brocade, in the slightly chilly spring light, or such as snow such as jade, or red like fire, Ambilight, brilliant and crystalline, the refreshing fragrance permeates the whole Huaqing Palace.

Under a blooming old plum, Emperor Xuande of Daning seemed to have escaped from the sea of gorgeous flowers, and he was listening to a major news, at this time all the beauty of spring around him had nothing to do with him.

Huangfu Jiang finally died, this is the news he has been looking forward to for nearly thirty years, at this moment, when the news that he dreamed of coming true really became a reality, Huangfu Xuande did not look up to the sky and laugh wildly, but the corners of his mouth showed a slightly bitter smile.

He glanced back at Ma Yuanzhen, and saw that his expression was also quite bitter, so he asked, "Grandpa Ma, are you sad?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen shook his head gently, "Your Majesty, he is the emperor's uncle after all, he went, and the old slave just felt that His Majesty would be even more lonely." ”

"Although there is a little loss, I am more happy, he used to be my confidant."

Huangfu Xuande sighed, "But it makes me regret why he didn't die a year early, the old one is gone, and the new one is coming again, which makes me very distressed." ”

"Your Majesty, Scholar Song is here!" A eunuch whispered to the side.

"Let him see him!"

At this time, Concubine Shen Ruyi, who was accompanying the emperor to enjoy the plum blossoms, felt very uncomfortable, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, such a good plum blossom, why doesn't Your Majesty have the heart to watch it?" He's dead, he's dead! Specifically say something that spoils people's interest. ”

"Aifei, now I don't have the heart to appreciate plum blossoms, you can see for yourself!"

Huangfu Xuande was slightly unhappy in his heart, this concubine didn't even care about Huangfu Jiang's death, did she really not understand anything?

Ma Yuanzhen hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu never asks about state affairs. ”

Ma Yuanzhen's just right explanation made the trace of unhappiness in Huangfu Xuande's heart disappear immediately, yes, Concubine Shu has not been in the palace for a long time, and she is still young, she doesn't understand that this kind of thing in the power field is normal, isn't this what she wants? If she is also shrewd and knows everything, then what is the difference between her and the queen?

"Aifei, I have state affairs, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to enjoy the plum."

Shen Ruyi just doesn't understand the power field a little, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, on the contrary, she is extremely shrewd, she felt the emperor's unhappiness and immediately regretted it, these days, she hollowed out every day to keep the sense of freshness and excitement, but she also felt that the emperor was a little tired of her, and the unhappiness just now was a precursor to his tiredness.

She glanced at Ma Yuanzhen gratefully, and immediately had a plan in her heart, grasping it firmly, she may not really be able to grasp it, but it is possible to grasp it more tightly if she takes a step back.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will not disturb Your Majesty's state affairs, and the concubine will retire first!"

"Alright! Stand down first, and I will call you when I am free. ”

Shen Ruyi glanced at Ma Yuanzhen and slowly retreated, at this time, the scholar Song Wendao hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty!" ”

Song Wendao is a scholar on duty today, and ten scholars are responsible for drafting a decree to Huangfu Xuande, which is generally dictated, and after the scholar has drafted the decree, it will be handed over to Ma Yuanzhen for review, and after Ma Yuanzhen seals and agrees, Huangfu Xuande's will can be issued.

Huangfu Xuande thought about it and said: "Huangfu Jiang can be called the King of Long, and the Ministry of Rites will give a state funeral with the gift of the prince, stop the Huanglin Temple, and go out of the funeral after nine days, and add Huangfu Zhuo as the king of Zhangye County, Zhang Chongjun as the Taishi, and the military department Shangshu, and the Huangfu Wuzhi as the Duke of Suguo. ”

Huangfu Xuande paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Then the next level of urgent holy decree to Huangfu Wujin, so that he immediately attacked the Phoenix Society, completely quelled the trouble of the Phoenix Society, and the class master triumphed, and I will officially canonize him as the King of Liang." ”

Song Wendao memorized them one by one, and Huangfu Xuande said: "That's all, go!" ”

Song Wendao hurriedly retreated to draft the decree, and Huangfu Xuande saw him go away, and smiled at Ma Yuanzhen: "You go and send me a message, and let Zongzheng Temple inform Huangfu Zhuo and Zhang Chongjun to come back together for funeral, although there is a war in the northwest, but the gift of humanity cannot be abolished, let them return quickly!" ”

"Your Majesty, does Emperor Fu Wujin also want him to come back with him?" Ma Yuanzhen asked in a low voice.

Huangfu Xuande was silent for a long time, but still shook his head, "No! The Phoenix Society is a big trouble for me, since I have been prepared for war, I can't stop halfway, you send another message to Huangfu Wujin, if he can sweep away the Phoenix Society for me, I will not be responsible for the tax and silver matters. ”

Ma Yuanzhen agreed, and hurriedly turned around, at this time, there were only two eunuchs serving by Huangfu Xuande's side, and he glanced at Mei Linwai, "You come in and report!" ”

I saw a gray-clothed man appear like a ghost, scaring the two eunuchs into dispossession, and Huangfu Xuande waved his hand unhappily, "You guys stand down!" ”

The two eunuchs retreated in panic, and Huangfu Xuande asked the gray-clothed man coldly: "Has he found the witch?" ”

"Your Majesty! He found the witch's residence, and yesterday at noon, he secretly rushed to Bashang, in addition, Zhao Ruzheng said that he went to the East Palace to see a doctor last night, and he got a red stem, very similar to Cordyceps, but no, even Zhao Ruzheng didn't know what it was? He asked Zhao Ruzheng to use this thing to dispense medicine for His Majesty. ”

"Good! Very good! ”

Huangfu Xuande gritted his teeth with hatred, "It's really my good prince, he wants to do both, it's good, I will fulfill him!" ”

．．．．．．．．． The news of the death of Huangfu Jiang shocked the government and the opposition, the king of Xiliang County, the envoy of the Helong Festival, died silently after ten years of silence, his death attracted the sympathy and resonance of many ministers and the royal family, for a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to the palace of the king of Lanling to pay tribute.

Poor Huangfu Jiang's heirs are thin, there was originally a grandson Huangfu Wuzhi in the capital, but unfortunately this person can't afford to take on a big thing, and when he heard the news of his grandfather's death in the early morning, he actually used the news as an excuse to ride a horse to Xiliang, so that no man in the palace can take responsibility.

Fortunately, the princess's brother Zhao Zhen is quite capable, busy inside and out, and finally made the funeral of Huangfu Jiang operate, before dawn, the funeral shed was set up in front of the palace for the minister of civil and military affairs to come to mourn filial piety, there was no man in the palace, and Huangfu Jiang had the best relationship with Huangfu Jiang Wang Huangfu Jie let his grandson Huangfu Yinghuan come to be a filial grandson, and thank the people who came to mourn filial piety.

During the lunch break of the imperial court, there were many ministers who came to pay their filial piety, and the carriages were parked outside the palace gate, at this time, dozens of guards guarded the carriage of Uncle Shen Guo, Uncle Shen Guo specially changed into a black coat, with a solemn expression, he just got off the carriage, but he saw the car of the king of Chu at a glance.

Uncle Shen Guo's heart was slightly stunned, although it is normal for the King of Chu to come to Huangfu Jiang to hang filial piety, but his appearance here still made Uncle Shen have a strange feeling in his heart, and it took him a while to understand, it should be a matter of age, the King of Chu is only thirteen years old, just a young man, if he participates in this kind of human sophistication, it is generally arranged by the queen or the emperor, but the emperor and queen are in Huaqing Palace, Huangfu Jiang died in the middle of the night, I am afraid the emperor does not know about this matter, let alone send the king of Chu to hang filial piety, and it is not the king of Chu, The king of Chu returned to Luojing with Zhang Jinjie a few days ago, which should be the behavior of the king of Chu himself.

Does a thirteen-year-old know that he is here to pay his filial piety? This made Uncle Shen very surprised in his heart.

Uncle Shen Guo walked to the front of the spirit shed, there were many ministers, all waiting in line, everyone greeted him one after another, suddenly, several ministers at the door dodged away, only to see Chu Wang Huangfu Tian walked out, which made Uncle Shen even more frightened, he actually wore linen and filial piety.

None of the ministers and royal families present did this, this is not impossible, but because this is an extremely solemn etiquette, is the greatest respect for the deceased and the families of the deceased, if it was in the past, many royal ministers would be doing this, but in the context of the Liang royal system began to be eradicated and suppressed, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it, it is already a great risk to come to worship, who dares to wear linen and filial piety, it is equivalent to telling the emperor that he is a person from the Liang royal family, and no one is wearing linen and filial piety, Unexpectedly, the thirteen-year-old King of Chu actually did it.

This made the ministers present secretly surprised, even the princess knelt down with red eyes to thank the king of Chu for his heavy salute, Uncle Shen suddenly understood, this is the king of Chu in the Liangwang family, at the moment when the emperor has shown that he is attacking the Liangwang family, the king of Chu actually did the opposite, showing goodwill to the Liangwang family, which made Uncle Shen Guo's heart amazed, he wanted to talk to the king of Chu.

Emperor Fu Tian, the king of Chu, also saw Uncle Shen Guo, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Uncle is also here." ”

"Hmmm! You wait for me for a moment. ”

Uncle Shen Guo didn't line up, he went directly into the mourning shed, and came out again after a while, giving Huang Fu Tian a look, Huang Fu Tian was also obedient, and obediently got into Uncle Shen's carriage, as soon as he got into the carriage, he tore off the filial piety clothes on his body, and Uncle Shen Guo didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, and after a while, he said lightly: "Why are you doing this?" ”

"Does Uncle think that King Liang is finished?" Huangfu asked as he lay comfortably on the back of his chair.

Uncle Shen Guo was a little interested, and he asked Huang Futian, "What do you think?" ”

Huangfu Tian shook his head, "I think the power of the Liang King clan will be even stronger, strong enough to participate in the seizure of the heir. ”

Uncle Shen's face changed greatly, the word 'seizing the heir' is a taboo in the power field, he pressed Huangfu Tian's shoulder, not allowing him to say any more, he looked out, there was no one around, he immediately ordered, "Go home!" ”

The carriage started, and the sound of wheels drowned out their voices.

"Who told you this? The matter of taking the heir. ”

"It's what my master said, he said that the emperor had a holy decree, King Liang can succeed to the throne, after the King of Chu, before King Qi, Huangfu Wujin is a descendant of the royal family, if he is King Liang, then he is also qualified to inherit the throne."

Uncle Shen also knew this secret, and he even knew that this holy decree was engraved on an iron tablet in the Taimiao, but what could it be? Could it be that the emperor would make someone else's son the emperor?

Uncle Shen Guo was very disapproving, he recognized this, no matter how Wujin was favored and how he ascended to the throne, but he just had nothing to do with the throne, not just any royal family can participate in the competition, there is a premise here, it must be the emperor's son.

"Your Highness, don't think about this matter anymore, don't be unconventional, now is a very sensitive time, the crown prince may be deposed, and war can break out....."

Uncle Shen's eyes became extremely cold, staring at the King of Chu, "You have to learn to be calm, learn to endure, you have to learn to be like me, wait and watch the changes in the situation, and respond to all changes without change, do you understand?" ”

Huangfu Tian originally wanted to tell his uncle about Huangfu Wujin's strength and show off his knowledge, but it can be seen that his uncle seems to understand everything, so he is silent.
