Chapter 7 Old Men Have Sons
Mama Chen was carrying the queen's secret letter, and before she stepped out of the palace gate, the palace supervisor ordered the guards to go up and check it. According to the rules of the palace, after entering and leaving the palace, they must be carefully and closely inspected, especially to guard against hidden weapons and the like, so as to ensure the safety of the palace.
Although Mama Chen said that there were ghosts in her heart, first, she was older and had experienced a lot of things, but she was still stable and forcibly suppressed the anxiety and fear in her heart; After the palace supervisor inspected it, he didn't find anything wrong, so he let Mama Chen leave the palace.
As soon as Mama Chen went, the Yanshi flashed out of nowhere, and said to the palace supervisor gloomily: "The princess has instructed us that in the future, all people outside the palace who enter and leave from Queen Cai must be strictly investigated, this Mama Chen was specially ordered by the queen to enter the palace, I am sure there must be some conspiracy in this." Now the princess tells us to watch this place carefully, and you will have to be careful in the future! ”
Everyone understands people, now the king of Chu favors Meng Huan, the queen has fallen out of favor, and the prince has also been expelled, which of these subordinates is not the grass on the wall? As long as you lose power, others will treat you coldly, and some will even fight back. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; Except for a few personal maids such as Hong'er who are loyal to her, Queen Cai is just a wait-and-see attitude.
That Mama Chen went out of the palace gate, like a fish that slipped through the net, and hurriedly thought of sending a trustworthy person to send a letter to the prince, but this matter was not mentioned.
On that day, the king of Chu got a report that Sima Fenyang, the father of the city, had a secret music sent it. When the king of Chu opened it, he saw that there were two letters, one was a painless performance, and the most important thing was a letter from the prince to the king of Chu. This letter to the family played the card of family affection and was written very emotionally:
“…… After the sons and daughters arrived at the city father, they never forgot the teachings of their father, personally observed the people's conditions, and asked the people about their weal and woe. I often feel that my father and mother are old, and the state affairs are complicated, so I ask my father to take care of his noble body to comfort his son's heart. In the night, the empty cup to the moon, the sons often look at the moon and sigh, the son of man can't be filial piety in front of his parents, isn't it sad! ”
The king of Chu held the prince's letter, and he was also very conflicted. After all, what he has done is considered unreasonable, and the prince has not bothered with himself, and now although he is still a little tough, but after all, he is a person in his twilight years, so he has some sadness, and the king of Chu has the intention of calling the prince back to the capital.
was about to draft the edict, thinking that it would be better to ask Fei Wuji what he meant, so he summoned Wuji to the palace.
After Fei Wuji heard what the King of Chu meant, he was greatly frightened, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "The king has the intention of summoning the prince to return to the capital, it stands to reason that this is the king's family matter, and those of us who are courtiers should not talk too much. But since the king asked, the old minister did not dare to hide it, so he said his opinion and asked the king to decide. ”
"Aiqing, let's listen carefully, the widow gives you no sin."
"The king has newly accepted the princess of Qin, and this matter has basically been known to the outside world, and the crown prince and queen have also known everything. Now that the king favors the princess alone, and now that the princess is pregnant, won't the queen hold a grudge against the king and the princess? Isn't the princess's situation dangerous? If the crown prince returns to the capital, the queen's shili will be even stronger, and the princess will be alone and alone, who will be the queen's opponent? When the time comes, it will be difficult for even the king to restrain it. According to the analysis of the minister, this is the prince's plan to delay the army, first with sweet words to impress the king's benevolent heart, and then find an opportunity to return to the capital, as long as he returns to the capital, the prince is like a fish in water, like a flying dragon diving into the abyss, the king will be difficult to govern. ”
The King of Chu groaned for a while, chewed and swallowed Wuji's words slowly, and also felt a little reasonable.
"The king summons the prince into the capital, which is tantamount to asking for trouble, but when the time comes, the old minister is afraid that there will be a big change. Now the situation in the court was originally very stable, but as soon as the crown prince returned to the capital, the old ministers secretly thought that the Chu State would not be peaceful. If the king was so determined, the minister asked to resign from all his positions, and the king allowed the minister to flee to another country to escape the civil strife. ”
Seeing that Fei Wuji said it so seriously, the King of Chu thought that Meng Huan was about to give birth, and it was better to have more than one thing, so he broke off the idea of recalling the prince.
Let's say that Meng Huan is pregnant, pregnant for ten months, and gave birth to a baby boy, who looks exquisite and cute, and the king of Chu sees love like a treasure. The main thing is to accompany Meng Huan and her young son all day long, caring and happy. The king of Chu gave the boy the name Zhen (for the famous King of Chu Zhao in the future), and the husband and wife regarded it as the moon in their hands and loved each other.
One afternoon, the weather was warm, the king of Chu and Meng Huan held Zhen'er in the palace garden to bask in the sun, surrounded by red flowers and willow green, spring is beautiful, it is really a good spring.
Meng Huan smiled and asked, "Do you remember what the king said the day before yesterday?" Now that the concubine has given birth to a dragon seed for the king, I wonder when the king will be able to fulfill the covenant? ”
King Chu frowned and said: "Of course, the widow has not forgotten the promise to his concubine, but Queen Cai is not wrong, and she suddenly abolished her position as queen, I am afraid that those ministers in the court will not accept it and cause some trouble." After taking her mistakes and then pushing the boat down the river, and abolishing her as queen, those ministers will not be able to object. ”
Meng Huan smiled slightly, and said to Su Yu, who was serving beside him: "You tell the king what you heard a few days ago, and the king will understand." ”
After Su Yu gave a salute, he was clever and tongued: "I heard from the palace ladies that the queen has always had a grudge against the king and the princess, and sometimes cursed. There is also the fact that the queen and the ministers are in private contact, and the maidservants think that they must be engaged in some kind of jihua and conspiracy. ”
The king of Chu glared at Xu Yu: "Is there such a thing?" Are you telling the truth? If you are talking nonsense, the widow will not spare you! ”
"Where do you dare to talk nonsense? If the king does not believe it, he will find out after careful investigation. ”
The king of Chu was silent, thinking of the prince's letter the day before yesterday, and seemed to be a little suspicious. Could it be that Queen Cai really went out to have an affair?
There is little gossip, but it is said that Queen Cai was in the palace that day and watched the spring flowers all over the ground, and everything was renewed, so she missed the prince. Thinking that the prince still didn't see the news, he knew that this matter was not as simple as he thought. I heard Hong'er say that the princess of Qin, Meng Huan, had just given birth to a son, and the king loved her like a treasure, so she was even more upset in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sad about the flowers.
"Hong'er, your mother went out with news the day before yesterday, and I don't know what the result was. Is there a reply from the prince? ”
"Queen, the maidservant told you last time that the prince did not return the book, and he did not write back for fear of not being safe. According to the character of the prince, he will definitely do what the queen explains, but it is difficult to say whether it will be effective or not. I haven't heard anything yet, and most of the time it has come to nothing. ”
After hearing this, the queen became even more depressed: "You can help think of a way, now the situation is critical, the goblin now not only monopolizes the king's favor, but also gives birth to a boy, I am very uneasy." In my opinion, it is difficult for the ministers of the court to influence the king's choice, and they do not care about the life or death of the prince and me now. The Taishi followed the son, Cai Qi was imprisoned in prison, and now we really have no way out. ”
"The maidservant girl heard that the princess was pregnant and did not go to the city with the prince, according to the day, the princess should have given birth to a child, why don't you explain to the king that it is better to visit the princess?"
Queen Cai was overjoyed, the crown princess gave birth to a child, and she never knew about it, so she took this opportunity to go out of the palace, not only to visit her grandson and the crown princess, but also to go to the crown princess, and her many helpers were also haode. The queen immediately called the Yanshi and said that she wanted to see the king and had important matters to discuss.
Although the king of Chu was very reluctant, after all, the queen had something to ask for, so he had to come to the main palace. Seeing the queen, the king of Chu said impatiently: "There are many things to do, and the queen has something to say." ”
Seeing that the king of Chu was so ruthless, the queen didn't seem to have the heart to listen to her own gossip. Although there are a thousand words in the belly, it is difficult to say at this time, so I have to pick up the important words: "The concubine listened to the palace maids, the princess has been giving birth for several months, and the prince has been on the outside, leaving the princess alone in the East Palace, and I, the queen mother, should also go to visit, after all, it is also the bloodline of the king's descendants." ”
The king of Chu was also a little surprised, but he became a little happy, and now that the double happiness is coming, the king of Chu is much more tolerant: "What the queen said is not bad, it's good to go and see." I don't know if it's a man or a woman? ”
"I heard that it was a boy, and it has been 3 months."
The king of Chu arranged for Yanshi to go down, saying that the queen was going to the East Palace to visit the crown princess and asked him to prepare a chariot and horse honor guard for the queen.
When the queen arrived at the East Palace, she saw the waist jade, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged their heads and cried. One is a complaining husband and the other is Sijun, and now they are all alone in an empty house, lonely and helpless. When the queen saw her grandson, she took off the jade pendant on her neck, handed it to her waist jade and said, "I will give this jade pendant to the child, it will be a memorial, and I don't know when the family will be reunited." Born in a princely family, he had to accept his fate, who knows the pain here! ”
Waist Yu was also silent, with tears in her eyes. The queen retreated from everyone, and said to the waist jade: "I tried to get the prince to return to the capital, but I didn't succeed. I'm inconvenient in the palace, you're relatively better here, no one is watching. I'll leave it to you if I have any arrangements in the future, and we'll just think of a way to get the prince back." ”
Waist Yu nodded and said, "A few days ago, the prince sent a person, who was the young son of the prince, named Wu Yuan, who was ordered by the prince to visit us. ”
The queen was a little happy: "This soldier is famous in the court, and he is the young son of the Taishi. I heard that this person is strong, has strange bones, and is strong in martial arts and good at strategy. The prince is short of manpower, and if this person helps, I will be relieved. ”
The queen pondered for a while, and then explained to Waist Yu: "I will bring you a letter if there is anything in the future, and you will arrange this soldier to do it, and it will be very safe." ”
The queen and the waist jade also discussed it, and came up with a jihua to let the prince return to the capital.
