Chapter 555: Guts
After the new year, there was a celestial phenomenon of glowing crape myrtle in the capital, and the people in the inner court were panicked.
Compared with the Zhengdan ancestor worship, the crown prince was ordered to make offerings, just put the copper plate on a few cases, the offering table next to him was extremely abruptly crooked, and the Ding furnace on it fell to the ground almost without any warning.
The same case once appeared on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the year when Emperor Taizu died, and Prince Kang, who accompanied the sacrifice, shouted in a different voice: "Quickly pass on the Qin Tianjian!"
A strange smiling face appeared in the clan relatives outside the threshold very imperceptibly, and the deputy of the chief supervisor rushed to the front of the palace out of breath, and after inspecting the scene and deducing the celestial phenomena, he pushed back and said: "Please forgive your majesty for the capital crime!"
Emperor Yongtai waved his hand: "In the year of the ear of the general, Sheji has been entrusted, what is the regret of the ominous resurrection?
"Yes!" Jian Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "On the twenty-fifth day of the second lunar month of Hongxi, Yingxing rushed to the center of Ziwei and Dongyuan, and it should be ...... His Majesty and the Prince."
Emperor Yongtai's eyes widened: "How about the emperor and the crown prince?"
"Emperor Taishang......" Jian Zheng gritted his teeth, "the will of heaven cannot be violated." ”
"'s stupid words!" Yongdong was about to bring up the prison when he started, "The emperor is in good health, the prince is young and healthy, what is the will of heaven hindering them?"
"The prince spares his life...... Emperor Taishang, Emperor Taishang help!" Emperor Hongxi's sons are not a big deal, but they have six brothers who are like wolves and tigers to help "fight tigers", as soon as Yongdong takes the lead, Yongyang immediately has the intention of beating the prisoner, so frightened that he shouted for help, just afraid that one accidentally immediately confessed his life on the spot.
"Stand down. The person finally came to his senses, "I and the prince are in a natural disaster...... Or is it a man-made disaster?"
The supervisor cherishes the words like gold: "The minister doesn't know!"
The Emperor asked again: "Is there a way to prevent and crack it?" ”
The chief supervisor and deputy looked at each other silently, and there was an extremely obvious hesitation in their eyes.
Yongdong yelled: "Do you want to beg you to say it?"
The deputy supervisor shuddered: "Your Majesty, if you want to rush into trouble, you need a noble person who has a noble life and was born in the sun and the moon......"
The chief officer pushed the prison deputy at the right time, and immediately received a kick from Jin Chun behind him: "Who do you want to fool?"
In the pile of tigers and wolves, the foreign ministers did not have the capital to act perfunctorily, and the supervisor finally compromised: "Your Majesty, if there is a heavenly destiny phoenix girl who has a noble life and was born in the yang sun and the lunar moon, cleans her belly and bathes, kowtows ten thousand steps on the ninth day, and bows down to the thousand steps to pray for the year's star, you can avoid the great disaster of covering crape myrtle and damaging the destiny of heaven." ”
The emperor frowned: "How do you call the Heavenly Destiny Phoenix Maiden?"
Jian Zheng glanced at King Kang and said cautiously: "It means the Empress Dowager, the Empress Taishang, and ...... There is also the eldest princess of Chaoyun. ”
Everyone was silent, and the emperor asked again: "How is the imperial concubine?"
The supervisor was careful: "The phoenix girl born in the sun and the moon is only the queen mother, the old saint and the princess Chaoyun......"
King Kang said, "Is there a way?"
The supervisor stubbornly said, "There is no other way to do it." ”
The prescription for avoiding disasters has been prescribed, and whether or not to catch medicine based on this is a matter for the emperor's father and son. In other words, they don't have to welcome or refuse, the clan relatives have to jump to cater to them: "Hungry for three days, let her kowtow, let her kneel on the steps, and let her go to bring disaster to the Son of Heaven...... Such a great blessing, ordinary people want to ask for it, but they can't ask for it!"
Qin Tianjian proposed two candidates, but the actual goal was clearly locked on Princess Chaoyun: Even if the empress dowager is willing to sacrifice for her children and grandchildren, even if the emperor father and son are not afraid of carrying the infamy of the ages, an old lady who is about to be eighty, you let her starve for three days against the biting cold wind and climb the mountain in five steps, one knock and ten steps, and one bow to pray for blessings? If she can't bear it halfway (it seems inevitable), the emperor's father and son will inevitably be scolded by another layer of disaster, which is really not a cost-effective choice.
Then turn his gaze to Princess Chaoyun.
Why did this aunt have the capital to be arrogant? In a word: she has the great merit of being protected by the fourth generation! If it is said that in the past, when facing assassins, the act of blocking arrows with her body had the emotional motive of repaying Emperor Taizong's affection, since the beginning of Emperor Yongtai, the benefits of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren can basically be regarded as one-way. To put it more appropriately, without the mediation of the former Princess Chaoyun, there would never be today's Emperor Taishang, Emperor Hongxi, and the Prince of the East Palace.
Silence, silence, silence. The huge Fengxian Hall was silent, and no one was willing to break the current deadlock.
I don't know how long it took, Emperor Hongxi said with great difficulty: "Life and death are fate, the will of heaven is difficult to violate, I have no virtue, I should be murdered, fortunately there is the Emperor Taishang to stabilize the situation, even if there is no filial piety, fortunately, the society is not hindered, and there is no need for the Qing to be sad." "Immediately after the oral propagation of the holy message, the affairs of today shall not be leaked to the outer court and the inner court, and those who disobey shall be punished as guilty of the above.
This will is obviously redundant, even if the hundred and ten people present are all tight-lipped, the parties still have to hear the wind in time, otherwise this big drama will be in vain The efforts of the director behind the scenes.
"If the thunder is dead, how can Jinling survive! Hanging on the emperor's side, how dare you go against Chenlun!" Princess Anguo, who was saluting in Ningshou Palace, laughed out loud, "How innocent am I! How innocent am I!"
Princess Chaoyun's impromptu quatrain has a deep meaning.
Legend has it that Genghis Khan had designated the third son Wo Kotai as the heir during his lifetime, but at that time the tribal system was implemented, and the candidate for the throne must be approved by Kuriltai, and Mongolia has the tradition of "young sons guarding the house", and there was a call for Genghis Khan's four sons to succeed to the throne in the court, and since the death of Genghis Khan to the two-year vacuum period held by the Kuriltai Conference, Tuo Lei is responsible for the power of supervising the country, in addition, he inherited most of Genghis Khan's army, and is a strong contender for Wo Kotai to inherit the throne.
Genghis Khan had four sons-in-law, the eldest son Jochi was inclined to tow mines, and the second son Chahatai supported Ogedei, and the favorable situation of towing thunder was reversed because of Jochi's early death, and the third brother Wokotai finally ascended the throne. Of course, because of this bloodless turmoil for the position, Tuo Lei has buried great troubles for himself.
At that time, Mongolia was in the stage of establishment, and it was definitely irrational to fight in the same room, and Wokotai was not sure that he would be hit (Tuo Lei was an outstanding military strategist, and he mastered eighty percent of Mongolia's military strength), and he did not want to bear the reputation of slaughtering his siblings, so he thought of a practical and effective method after weighing left and right: pretending to be sick!
Wokotai was bedridden with a "serious illness", and the sorcerer sang to him: If you want to be cured of sweating, you can only cast a spell to cleanse your disease in clear water, and pray and drink it from your flesh and bones, hands and feet, and the Khan King's serious illness can be cured without medicine.
At that time, only Tuo Lei served on the side of the blood relatives, and in desperation, he drank all the poisonous talisman water, and finally taught Wo Kotai to successfully pull out the thorn in the flesh in his eye, and removed the biggest henchman since he succeeded to the throne.
Princess Chaoyun's situation today is very similar to that of Tuo Lei in the past: if the emperor has murderous intent, it is the most rational and thoughtful choice to follow Wokotai.
This is the New Year's Festival, the Changbai Palace is unusually deserted, and Qin Siyue (Longxi) does not see outsiders, as if he is turning a deaf ear to rumors from the outside world.
There is a "golden tablet iron plate" made by Emperor Taishang on Lingyuan Street, as long as the head of the family has the heart to refuse, I want to persuade her to give up my small self and all my princes and relatives to cross the Lei Chi step.
People who can smoothly enter Lingyuan Street must hold the will of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and his wife, or the emperor, and at this juncture, if they are relieved and relieved, they must be suspected of wanting to cover up and retreat as advance, and they have no position to express their attitude. In the name of "bewitching the public and harboring ill intentions", Emperor Hongxi sent all the chief officials of the Qintian Prison to the heavenly prison, trying to prove that the calamity has nothing to do with him, as for the convincing power, it remains to be considered.
In fact, apart from the rebellion, there is only one way in front of Qin Siyue (Long Xi).
On the fifth day of the first month, Princess Chaoyun entered the Fengxian Hall to salute.
On the night of the 8th day of the first lunar month, it snowed heavily in Gyeonggi.
In the early morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Princess Chaoyun, who had been clearing her abdomen for three days, appeared on time at the gate of Kyoto's West Castle.
The wind seems to have weakened, and the figure in the heavy snow is particularly lonely and tall, and it is Gu Changbai (Mokun) who is accompanying Qin Siyue (Long Xi) all the way to worship, and the husband and wife are speechless with each other, moving towards the set goal step by step.
Of course, the taste of counting nine cold days is unpleasant, and the first to arrive and the king of the county, Jin Yu, saw the vision without saying a word, and followed the husband and wife to bow and move forward.
Jin Yu played a good role in demonstration, and Jin Shi, Jin Shi, Jin Chun, Yongrong, and Yongxu followed and joined the ranks of prostration.
The team behind him is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, no matter what the truth is, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is for the emperor and the crown prince, all the officials and lords of the capital, and the martial soldiers poured out, pointing to the West Mountain and lining up along the road, all saluting Princess Chaoyun.
Yao Yao knelt for more than two miles, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked back and got up and called: "Jin is!"
Jin is hurriedly stepped forward: "My brother is here." ”
"Pray for the emperor's heir today, Chaoyun will shoulder it, you and others will go back to the mansion to kneel and pray, and you don't have to follow you on the road!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) added expressionlessly, "This is my will, and everyone is irresistible." ”
"Sister...... Jin is mouth opened, looked at Qin Siyue's (Long Xi) expression and swallowed back the words of persuasion, got up and faced back, and conveyed her meaning loudly.
Princess Chaoyun's edict still has people who can't be controlled, such as her own mother, the eldest princess of Yueguo.
Pushing her daughter and mother, the princess of Yue Kingdom can give birth to a baby bump like Qin Siyue (Long Xi), it would be a big mistake to regard her as a gentle and elegant lady, she couldn't get out of her anger with a belly, and she was angry at King Wenjun, who had not met for a long time: "You are a manly husband, why didn't you have the courage to kidnap her and fly away back then!"
The princes and grandsons listened to this and looked very unpresentable, but in response to this situation, they did not have the capital to refute the admonition after all, and they all looked at King Wenjun.
Jin Yushi spit out four words in shock: "Regret not being at the beginning!"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) can see it: "Mother, don't use this method, the favor owed to me by the East Palace will never be exhausted!"
This East Palace is not the East Palace, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) tears the face of the emperor's lineage, Yongxu was born when the overall situation was decided, Jin Yu experienced the aftermath of the confrontation between the elder and the elder, and listened to his cousin's words full of shame: he also had doubts about his brother in his heart.
Thousands of steps and thousands of steps under the knees, not to mention the queen mother, even if it is replaced by a young and strong man, it can't be supported, the emperor and the queen drive to the bottom of the mountain, and I don't know what it's like to see the nephew's description, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) please drive back again, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked like no one, stood for a while and helped Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) to knock up, and the imperial concubine who accompanied her knelt straight behind her mother-in-law.
