Chapter Ninety-Four: Orphans
Chapter 94 Tuogu
"Since the Qing family is like this, then I will be relieved......" Carpenter Zhu said this, and he didn't say more, he seemed to be very tired. After a while, he said slowly: "Don't stand still, get up......
"Emperor Xie." Yue Su slowly stood up and stood aside heartily.
Carpenter Zhu leaned back on the sofa tiredly, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't have the strength to speak.
Seeing the emperor like this, Yue Su naturally didn't say much, stood aside, and waited for Zhu Youxiao to rest.
After a while, the voice of the eunuch came from outside, "Emperor Qiqi, the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince have arrived." ”
"Pass them in." Zhu Youxiao's voice. His voice could also be heard by Yue Su in the house.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Yue Su finished, he took a few steps to the door, opened the door of the inner room, and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, please invite the queen mother and the prince to meet." ”
As soon as the words settled, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Yue Su soon arrived and Zhang Yan led the prince who was less than five years old and walked in. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Chen Yuesu pays a visit to the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Lord Yue is exempt." Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "How is the emperor's dragon body now?" ”
"It's fine. Queen inside please. Yue Su took the initiative to flash to the side and asked Zhang Yan to lead the prince in.
Zhang Yan nodded, took Zhu Ciyan's hand, and walked into the inner room. After entering the door, she had to give the emperor a salute, and Carpenter Zhu asked her mother and son to be flat, reluctantly raised her hand, and beckoned her son to his side. Zhang Yan let go of her son's hand, the doll walked to her father's side in a few steps, and Zhu Youxiao wanted to pick up her son, only to find that he didn't even have the strength. Zhang Yan's heart was as careful as a hair, and the horse came out, picked up her son in front of her, and asked him to sit next to her husband.
Carpenter Zhu bowed slightly, shook his son's head, and said: "Ci Yan, my father has been focusing on the work of chiseling and painting all his life, and he has not put his mind on governing the country, and he has a negative ancestor. After you succeed to the throne, don't follow the example of your father, but be a generation of masters, and be a king like Yao Shun......"
Zhu Ciyan didn't understand the meaning of his father's words, but just looked at Cihe's father with ignorant eyes.
Zhang Yan said on the side: "Sheng, you will be fine, the concubine must not be without you, and the Ming Dynasty must not be without you." Please also ask Your Majesty to rest more. ”
"There is no more ...... in the Ming Dynasty And my son...... I believe in him...... It's going to be better than what I did...... I really can't bear you...... But there will come a time...... In the future, I will entrust it to you...... You must take good care of ......," Zhu Youxiao said with difficulty.
"Yes...... The emperor ...... "When her husband is like this, Zhang Yan is inevitably sad and can't help shedding tears.
At this time, there was a message from the eunuch outside, and the Hakka family and Father-in-law Wei arrived. The emperor sent the two of them in, and soon, they followed Yue Su to the inner room and knelt down.
Carpenter Zhu looked at the three of them and said with difficulty: "Ke, Wei Qing, Yue Qing... Get up quickly......"
"Your Majesty Xie......" The three of them promised and stood up.
Zhu Carpenter looked at the guest Yinyue, who was already forty years, and said kindly: "Guest...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to...... When you loved me...... This ...... I've always kept it in my heart...... I'm leaving...... You have to take good care of your body......"
As soon as the "Emperor......" Ke Yinyue heard this, she cried with a "wow". She is good to Zhu Youxiao, half of which is naturally used, but if she has no feelings, she will never be able to. Carpenter Zhu has been lying in the same bed with her since he was a child, getting along day and night, for two or two years, this kind of affection cannot be compared even if he is his own son.
Moreover, the person who least wants the emperor to die is her, everything she has is given by this man on the other side, and if this person leaves, she is destined to lose everything. Who can guarantee it, Zhang Yan will not backhand her, who can guarantee it, Yue Su will be merciful to her subordinates.
When it came to the true feelings of the guest Yinyue, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but cry again, "Ke...... I can't bear you...... But I am called Banzai...... But they can't really live long live...... Didn't all the fathers and fathers have such a day...... Are you sad...... I'm sad too...... All right...... Don't cry...... I still like the way you smile......"
"Yes, Imperial ......" Ke Yinyue hurriedly wiped away her tears and squeezed out a smile, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing out.
"It's the first time I've felt so tired...... Zhu Youxiao slowly raised his subordinates and said, "Yue Qing, come here......"
"Yes, Imperial ......" Yue Su took two steps forward and knelt down at Zhu Youxiao's feet. Zhu Youxiao took Yue Su's hand with one hand, and his son's hand with the other, and put the hands of the two of them together, and then said with difficulty: "After I leave, the throne will be passed to the crown prince Zhu Ciyan, Yue Qing's family, you have to assist the prince with all your heart, how to assist me in the past, you have to be more attentive than that...... I'm just such a son...... I'll entrust it to the Qing family today...... I'm not Liu Bei...... Without his eloquence...... But trust your own vision...... The Qing family can become a figure like Zhuge Kongming......"
Zhu Youxiao's voice became lower and lower, but his voice could still be heard clearly by the people in the room.
"I dare not be ashamed...... Please also rest assured...... The ministers will do their best to assist the prince...... In the lifetime of the minister...... I will do my best...... Zhongxing Daming ......" Yue Su said in an affirmative tone.
"There is a sentence from the Qing family...... I'm at ease...... Under the Nine Springs...... can also be blinded ......" At this point, Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Qing...... You will ...... now."
"Yes, Emperor."
"After my death, it was passed on to the crown prince Zhu Ciyan. Yue Su is the minister of the orphan and assists the young master...... and crowned Yue Su as a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a title of Taibao...... The Three Swords of the Imperial Priest are my relics...... Specially given to Yue Su...... The dragon head can behead the relatives of the emperor, the phoenix and the dragon grandson...... The tiger head can behead corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and bring disaster to the country...... Dog-headed scoundrels, local tyrants and bullies...... But if the evidence is conclusive...... There is no need to make another request...... You can cut first and then play...... Later generations will be in Yue Qing's lifetime...... It is not possible to take it back without permission...... Those who violate it are unfilial ......"
This will not only gave Yue Su his identity, but also gave Yue Su great rights. After Wei Zhongxian heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he was secretly afraid in his heart, but he had to obey the order.
After saying this, Carpenter Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Tomorrow's court meeting, all the officials in Beijing will participate, and I will ......announce it in public."
The emperor is asleep, although no one dares to disturb him. Wei Zhongxian, Ke Shi, Yue Su, and Zhang Yan all stood aside. After nearly half an hour, Carpenter Zhu woke up.
"Your Majesty, are you awake......" Zhang Yan said.
"Alas......" Carpenter Zhu sighed and said, "I was so tired just now, I actually fell asleep, and I don't know how long I slept......" When he woke up, his spirit was slightly stronger than just now.
"Your Majesty, it won't be long, just a moment." Zhang Yan said.
"Oh......" Carpenter Zhu nodded, and said again, "I just had a dream that I saw a guest washing clothes in a place, and someone bullied her...... The guest is the person closest to me, and I forbid anyone to treat her as inferior. The queen ...... "At this point, Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Yan."
"What does Your Majesty have to say?" Zhang Yan said softly.
"After I am gone, forbid anyone to be slow to entertain guests, and remain the same as when I was there. If you don't want to live in the palace, you can move back to the house outside, and the previous offerings will not be missing......" Zhu Carpenter admonished.
"The concubine must be remembered." Zhang Yan replied.
Hearing the emperor's words, Ke Yinyue shed tears again, knelt on the ground, and said: "Emperor, I don't want to think about the slave and maid so much today, the emperor still thinks about the slave and the maid like this, and the slave and the maid will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and it will be difficult to repay it." ”
"The guest is serious, if there is a next life, I still want to be by my side and take care of my ......" After only a few words, Carpenter Zhu fell asleep again.
This time, I slept for more than half an hour, and I didn't wake up. Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Yan asked Ke Yinyue, Wei Zhongxian, and Yue Su to leave first, and there were photos of her here. The queen issued an eviction order, and even if the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian didn't want to leave, they couldn't. In the end, the emperor has reached this step, there are no two days to live, and then the doll will be the emperor, and Empress Zhang is the queen mother, the head of the harem, and it is not easy to clean them up. At this time, don't mess with her.
The three of them obeyed the order and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Not far away, Wei Zhongxian arched his hand at Yue Su and said, "Lord Yue, some of the things that the old man did in the past may have been done inappropriately, and he was blamed for the place of the adult, and I hope the lord will not mind." The old decay is here, and it is not enough to compensate the adults. ”
People are under the low eaves, and they have to hang their heads, Wei Zhongxian knows this matter. Compared with the death of the emperor, Yue Su became a loyal minister of Tuogu, not the first assistant, but still in power. It's not easy to treat Wei Zhongxian to him, but it's not too late to compensate now, and I don't know if it's too late.
"Duke Wei is serious, everyone assists the emperor together, and the courtiers of the same emperor do things on weekdays, and it is normal to have a bump and bump. Moreover, Su's memory has always been poor, and some things in the past have long been forgotten, and now he only knows the court and the emperor. Yue Su said earnestly.
The emperor's advice, Yue Su remembered it deeply, Wei Zhongxian is already a great age, why should he not get along with him, let him die in peace. He didn't entrust the emperor's decree, but the meaning of the words was already obvious, tell Wei Zhongxian that there is no need to worry, I will not retaliate in the future.
"In that case, thank you so much." Wei Zhongxian bowed deeply to Yue Su, and then said: "The old man is also old, and after the emperor leaves, the old man plans to retire to the countryside and look back on his hometown." Before leaving, I will inform the adults that they will be able to drink two drinks at home. I've worked with others for many years, and you and I haven't drunk yet. ”
