Chapter 437: Another Year Has Arrived
Ling'er reported the news from the internal guards and the Jinyi Mansion to Han Fei one by one, took out a few pieces of paper, and said: "Lord Wang, this is the secret agent of the internal guard, the content of the conversation between King Beijing and his staff last night!" ”
Han Fei took it, looked through it, his face was calm, he stuffed several pieces of paper into an envelope, and said, "Send someone to the Beijing Palace, convey the king's message, and give this thing to the Beijing King!" ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Han Fei's intentions, agreed, and hurriedly exited the imperial study.
Zhang Shuirong, the king of Beijing, had breakfast, and invited his staff to play chess in the back garden, when the palace steward rushed to report: "Lord, King Ming sent a messenger to deliver the message!" ”
"The messenger of the King of Ming? Please, please go to the second hall to wait for tea, this king will come soon! King Beijing put down the chess pieces, looked at the staff with a suspicious expression, and said, "Sir, do you know whether it is a blessing or a curse for King Ming to send someone at this time?" ”
"The prince is too worried!" The staff sighed: "If the king of Ming is guilty, it will not be the messenger who comes, but the internal guard or the people of the Jinyi Mansion, maybe there is something to discuss with the prince, right?" ”
"Well, what Mr. said is reasonable, let's go and see!"
King Beijing rushed to the second hall with his staff, and a middle-aged man who looked like a subordinate hurriedly got up to pay respects, "The little one meets His Royal Highness King Beijing!" ”
Han Fei's messenger was respectful, and King Beijing was immediately relieved, and said with a smile: "Get up and speak, I don't know what your prince has to tell this king?" ”
The messenger got up and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Beijing, my royal lord's small message, just a word, His Royal Highness doesn't have to think too much, Dahua is still the emperor's Dahua, my prince will do his best to save the emperor, my prince has always regarded His Royal Highness as a brother, and he respects His Royal Highness's noble sentiments of fame and fortune very much, and also cherishes each other's friendship. ”
King Beijing heard the messenger's point, and immediately looked at each other with his staff, steadied his mind, and said: "Okay, you go back to express your gratitude to King Ming on behalf of this king, and this king welcomes King Ming to come to the palace as a guest at any time!" ”
"The little one obeys the orders of His Royal Highness King Beijing!" The messenger was about to turn around and withdraw, as if he suddenly remembered, took out a letter from his bosom, presented it to King Beijing, and said, "This is the little one ordered by the prince of my family to be handed over to His Royal Highness, and the little one has retired!" ”
Han Fei's messenger withdrew from the palace gate, King Beijing looked puzzled, couldn't wait to open the letter, and just read a few words, he was so frightened that he sat down on the chair, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.
The staff's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly picked up the letter and looked at it, but he was also pale with fright, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, "Lord, the house, the house, the house......"
"Ahem...... King Beijing figured it out, Han Fei actually knew about it, but he didn't condemn him, he only sent someone to warn him tactfully, explaining that he hadn't touched his bottom line, and his heart was a lot more settled, "Sir, let's go to the back garden and play chess!" ”
When they arrived at the back garden, the staff looked left and right, and saw that there was no one nearby, so they hurriedly pleaded guilty to King Beijing: "Xiao Ke was reckless, and almost brought a big disaster to the prince!" ”
Zhang Shuirong, the king of Beijing, waved his hand and sighed: "Mr. doesn't have to be like this, you also have good intentions, it's just that we underestimate the deterrent power of King Ming!" ”
"The power of King Ming...... There were rumors in the past that the hunt and killing of the rebellious Fan Wang was not the hand of the Jinyi Mansion, it seems to be true, it's terrible! The staff suddenly lowered his voice again and said, "Is the house going to be rectified?" ”
"No need, if this king's guess is right, these are the secret agents of the internal guard, the internal guard did not appear suddenly, I am afraid that the king of Ming has already laid out, anyway, this king has no ambition, and he is not afraid of being stared at! The messenger of King Ming has just made the meaning of King Ming very clear, as long as this king has no heart for fame and fortune, and only concentrates on poetry and songs, the friendship between King Ming and this king will not change, and this king will not be in any danger! ”
The staff was silent for a while, with a helpless expression on their faces, and sighed for a long time: "King Ming's statement that Dahua is still the emperor's Dahua, which shows that King An Le is just a poor pawn, maybe soon, the royal family will have one less bloodline!" ”
"Providence is so, what can I do in vain? The rise and fall of dynasties is not something that can be reversed by manpower, but I hope that the common people in the world will have less suffering! King Beijing resolutely said: "Pass on the king's decree, the palace of the king of Beijing will be closed from now on, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will without the permission of the king, and no longer communicate with all forces!" ”
The changes in the Beijing Palace, Ling'er reported Han Fei in detail, Han Fei smiled faintly, noncommittal.
After a few more days, finally the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the various departments of the imperial court began to take a holiday, and Han Fei arranged the defense tasks in the palace, and returned to the Han Mansion to prepare for the New Year.
"Lord, the old prince sent someone to ask, where is the New Year this year?" Lin Quan, the housekeeper of the Han Mansion, reported to Han Fei.
Han Fei pondered for a while, and said: "The queen mother's mother and son are too lonely in the palace, this king is afraid that the queen mother will touch the scene and hurt the phoenix body, this king will enter the palace for the New Year, and the people in Jiafu will not have to go, just let the old prince and the princess enter the palace tomorrow!" ”
After sending Lin Quan away, Han Fei walked into the backyard and explained his thoughts to the princesses, everyone agreed, and then ordered the people to prepare for driving. Entering the palace for the New Year, that is, having a meal, chatting with the Queen Mother Jia Yuanchun, most people still have to go back to the house to sleep, so they don't need to bring any things, and they are ready very quickly.
Han Fei rushed to the gate of Cining Palace with his wife, concubines and children, feeling cold and lonely, unable to find a little New Year's atmosphere at all, and feeling very heavy.
At this time, the chief eunuch Huang Ye rushed over when he heard the news and visited, "The old slave knocks on His Royal Highness King Ming, knocks on the princesses, the little prince, and the little county lord......"
"Alright, you get up!" Han Fei said with a calm face: "Today's New Year's Day, why is this Cining Palace so deserted, and there is not even a red lantern hung up?" ”
"His Royal Highness King Ming forgives your sins!" Huang Ye knelt on the ground and said: "The twenty-four yamen in the palace perform their duties, and according to the system, they are in charge of the queen mother or the queen mother who dominates the harem, and now the queen mother is ...... Without the decree of the Queen Mother, the minions dare not make their own decisions! ”
Zhang Wanyi, the ninth princess beside Han Fei, knew the system in the palace well, and said: "What Gonggong Huang said is true, and the palace has its own special system!" ”
"The Queen Mother is too sad, where is she still thinking about taking care of the harem? Wanyi, you are most familiar with the system in the palace, so you will be in charge of the harem for the time being! Han Fei glanced at the inside of Cining Palace, sighed, and said to Huang Ye: "The decree of the king of this book, from now on, the ninth princess will temporarily take charge of the harem, and all the yamen in the inner court will listen to the dispatch!" ”
Huang Ye's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he hurriedly said: "The old slave obeys the order!" ”
In Cining Palace, Jia Yuanchun, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, was still sitting on the side of the little emperor's bed, frowning, and suddenly heard a lot of movement outside, turned his head and saw that it was Han Fei's family coming, and said in surprise: "Brother Fei, who are you?" ”
"Sister, the younger brother brings your younger siblings and children to accompany you and your nephew to celebrate the New Year!"
Han Fei's tone of family suddenly warmed Jia Yuanchun's heart, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, looked at everyone, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, sister foolish!" ”
"Sister, we are close relatives, what are you talking about, have a happy New Year tonight! Oh, my sister is in a bad mood these days, the palace is negligent in taking care of it, and it's all messed up, and the younger brother is in charge of letting Wanyi take care of it for a while, and when the sister's mood recovers, then the sister will be in charge! ”
Jia Yuanchun shook his head and said: "Non-brother, the foolish sister only has the emperor in her heart now, and she doesn't want to care about anything, the ninth princess is familiar with the palace system, and she is in charge, the foolish sister can't ask for it, the letter books are all together, just let the subordinates give it to the ninth princess!" ”
"Sister, Wanyi knows how to do these trivial things, don't talk about it, our family will have a good New Year tonight!"
