Chapter Seventy-Four: The Prince
The fact that the six princes never go out is something that everyone in the capital knows.
Of course, Fuqing also knows.
He looked in one direction of the imperial city, because of the princes and kings, the emperor did not canonize the princes as kings, and the princes only lived in separate mansions when they became adults, and the six princes' mansions were in the most remote place in the northwest corner of the capital.
It's not that the six princes are not favored, but that they have been weak and sick since childhood, and the imperial doctor personally chose a suitable place for recuperation.
Because of the emperor's concern, very few of the children born died young, except for those who did not keep the fetus from slipping, the six sons and four daughters who were born survived, but the third and sixth princes were not in good health.
The body of the third prince is the sequelae left after being bitten by a poisonous snake when he was a child, and the sixth prince, the imperial doctor's statement is that the fetus brings the deficiency - anyway, from childhood to adulthood, there are always major illnesses and minor illnesses, and when he was thirteen years old, he couldn't afford to be sick, and he didn't come out to see people for a year, and everyone thought he was dead.
Later, he was ordered by the emperor to open the palace in advance to recuperate, and he hardly entered the palace all year round, and the brothers and sisters rarely saw each other a few times - he was either lying down or carrying it, and his whole body was smoked by the smell of medicine, and sometimes he fainted before the banquet was over.
The emperor exempted him from all kinds of rules, let him stay at home without going out, and did not let other princes and princesses disturb him.
In the past six or seven years, the six princes are about to be forgotten by everyone, but when the emperor personally conquered, he still came out to see off, Fuqing recalled a glimpse of the time at that time, the young prince was wrapped in a cloak and almost covered his whole body, only showing a face, so young, such a beautiful face, coughing at the emperor, coughing Emperor DìDū couldn't bear it, and let him go back before the ceremony was over.
"The stakes are high when the capital is moved." Fuqing said, "It's also about the six princes themselves, he should come out, right?" β
Why not bring it over and listen to it?
But the two stood on the street for a moment, and no more carriages and horses came.
"If the sixth prince doesn't come, no one can carry him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely go and tell him in person." The little eunuch urged, "Father-in-law, let's go quickly, the snacks made by the princess are going to be cold." β
Fuqing snorted at him: "The dim sum made by the crown princess is originally cold, and this is not winter." β
Besides, the prince is not really waiting to eat.
The little eunuch smiled and admitted his mistake, Fuqing looked at the place where the Six Princes' Mansion was located again, that's it, the Six Princes have been like this in this life, living quietly, and dying quietly, as a prince who has no worries about food and clothing, this life can be regarded as okay.
Fuqing took the little eunuch to the palace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy over there, so I don't think I see you." The big eunuch in front of the palace said, "Little Fuzi, go where I can sit." β
Fuqing is in his forties, and he was called Xiaofuzi not displeased, smiled and thanked him, and asked the little eunuch to take out the two food boxes, saying that they were made by the princess and sent them to His Royal Highness.
The eunuch didn't refuse this, and asked the little eunuch to send it, while he took Fuqing to the side hall, and the two walked slowly along the long corridor.
"So, Your Majesty's intention to move the capital has been decided?" Fuqing asked in a low voice.
The eunuch didn't hide it from him, and nodded: "The ladies have begun to pack up their things, and after the princes discuss it tonight, they will announce it in the next two daysββ"
There was a laugh in the hall behind them, and the two looked back and looked at each other again.
"After Emperor Gaozu settled here, our Great Xia has not been peaceful in the past few decades." The big eunuch said in a low voice, "Change the place, change the place." β
Fuqing is not the emperor's great eunuch, and he didn't dare to express his position on some words, so he only looked into the distance: "This road is not close." β
How far it was from Wudu to the capital, Chen Danzhu didn't know, she asked Zhulin, Zhulin described it to her, and then sent her news of where Chen Liehu's family had gone in a few days-
Chen Liehu walked very slowly, because Mrs. Chen and Chen Danyan were not in good health, and everyone was not in a hurry, so they simply walked slowly, and stayed for a few days when they liked it and walked around the scenery.
"It looks like it's going to take months to walk back." Ah Tian leaned over to look at the map sand table on the table.
This is made by the bamboo forest, so that Chen Danzhu can see the movement of his family more intuitively, and how far away from the capital is.
"It's better to go slower." Chen Danzhu shook his fan lazily, "The housekeeper took someone back first, it takes time to buy a house and arrange it, and when the layout is complete, my father and they can live more comfortably at home." β
Ah Tian nodded, and thought a little more: "I don't know what Xijing is like." Pouting and looking in one direction unpleasantly, "Some people are from Xijing, so it might as well be not." β
Standing in one direction, the bamboo forest under the eaves heard it and knew that it was talking about himself.
Ah Tian asked him what Xijing was like, and he said that it was like that, what kind of thing it was, and the bamboo forest was so suffocated for a long time that he said that it was the same as Wudu, it was all cities, villages, towns and people, mountains and water, and there was less water - dry and not detailed at all.
Chen Danzhu smiled: "Wait a little longer, let's go see it ourselves." β
As for when these times are, or a year or two, even if it is three or five years, Chen Danzhu doesn't feel sad, because there is hope.
She sat up straight: "Ah Tian, let's go down the mountain." β
Before Ah Tian could speak, the bamboo forest standing outside jumped down with his eyebrows and went down the mountain? What are you going to do down the mountain?
Once he went down the mountain to sue Yang Jing for being rude, and the second time he went down the mountain to let Zhang Meiren commit suicide and scolded the emperor, now King Wu is gone, Chen's father and family are also gone, Wu Chen is more than half gone, Chen Danzhu has not gone down the mountain for more than a month, and the wife of the mountain is peaceful - she wants to go down the mountain again? What to do this time?
It has been almost two months since King Wu left, but Wu has not been depressed, but more lively, and now there are fewer people out of the city and more people entering the city.
Because the emperor is here, many people from all over the world rushed to hear the news, some traders want to take the opportunity to sell goods, some idlers want to have the opportunity to see the Son of Heaven, the official documents of the imperial court in the capital, the military newspaper - there is an endless stream of cars and horses outside the city gate leading to Wudu.
The soldiers and horses of the State of Wu have already gone to the State of Zhou with the King of Wu, and the guards on this side of the capital have already been replaced by court guards.
The guards do not check the people who go out of the city, no matter how many things they carry, even if they move a house away, they do not pay attention to them, but the inspection of entering the city is very strict, and the big and small things they carry must be checked one by one, and the name and name of the road guide are indispensable.
Early in the morning, it became congested in front of the city gate, and the Hanmen scholars were divided into different queues.
An inconspicuous carriage was heading towards the city gate, but in the direction of the queue of the nobles, and here, seeing the coachman who was driving the carriage, the guards didn't even look at the carriage, and let it go directlyβ
"Who is this?" There were people in the queue who were asked to open a cart of cages, annoyed and curious.
The guard glanced at him, "It's Miss Danzhu." β
Who is Miss Danju? The scholars from other places don't know much about the nobles on the side of Wudu.
The person next to him introduced him: "It's Wu-" Speaking of this, he changed his words, and now there is no Wu Kingdom, "The daughter of Chen Liehu, the former prince of Wu." β
It turned out to be a nobleman from Wu, and the foreign scholars understood but didn't understand, that was also the original, now this is the seat of the Son of Heaven, why does a noble daughter of the former Wu State enter the city without verification? I thought it was a relative of the emperor.
The person next to him showed an unfathomable smile: "Because the emperor was welcomed in by this Miss Danzhu." β
The face of the foreign scholar who asked the question suddenly changed, and he raised his voice: "It turned out to be her-"
