Chapter 033: The Truth
Anyone can see that Empress Dowager Yu wants to hand over the command of the Praetorian Guard to Zhu Yu.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard is not of high rank, but he is the guardian of the entire imperial city.
Daewoo has been expanding its territory since the generation of Empress Dowager Yu, conquering the east and the west, and sweeping the south and the north, and almost all the old Daewoo people have been sent to guard the frontier, and the Praetorian Guard is in whose hands, which is equivalent to who has the right to speak.
Just hand over the military power. Hearing that the queen was a hundred unwilling, she said to the Empress Dowager Yu with a smile: "The Empress Dowager wants to change the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the concubines do not object, but this time there are many children of the family and other countries who come to the imperial capital, and the news of the cancellation of His Majesty's birthday will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. ”
Empress Dowager Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Who to send away?" Who said those troublesome aliens could just go back?! ”
Hua Luo just sat down, and after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Yu, she almost didn't applaud.
This Empress Dowager Yu has too much appetite for her, and she knew that Empress Dowager Yu was such a person, and she would definitely not find a reason to shirk when her father and mother were on the jade void and incense.
Different from Hualuo's lively appearance, Emperor Zhu said worriedly: "After all, it is the envoy from the dog Rong, and we sent the news of the birthday for them to come, and now the birthday is not done and people will not go back, the queen mother thinks twice......"
"What Your Majesty said is not completely unreasonable, you have no jokes, the birthday can be changed to a ring match, the autumn hunt is not happy and disperse to the ring competition, one can see the martial arts of the children of the family, and the other can show our great country demeanor in front of foreign races!" Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Empress Dowager Wen, and then fell on Emperor Zhu, "By the way, let's see if my Emperor Sun Xian is as useless as Empress Wen and the crown prince said." ”
Although Emperor Zhu heard Hualuo talk about the inside story of the hunt, the daughter of the Hua family is famous in the imperial capital, and she is not much better than his third son Zhu Yu.
Emperor Zhu didn't believe Hualuo's words, and he still hesitated about Empress Dowager Yu's desire to give Zhu Yu the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard: "I also feel very appropriate, after all, it is the position of the Praetorian Guard, and it is not too late to look at Yu'er's martial arts." ”
Empress Dowager Yu also saw that in addition to Hua Luo, no one in the audience thought that Zhu Yu could be worthy of the big responsibility, and even his mother didn't defend him, Empress Dowager Yu nodded: "Even so, the token of the guard army will be kept by the mourning family, if Yu'er can win, it will be given to Yu'er, and if it loses, it will be returned to your Wen family!" ”
Emperor Zhu thought to himself that he hadn't said anything yet, and this Empress Dowager Yu had set up a martial arts competition?
But at this moment, his queen mother, with a look of incommittal beak, how dare he say anything more: "Everything is arranged by the queen mother." ”
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yu forcefully threw the iron cane to the ground, got up and walked out of the door.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhu also followed: "Where is the Queen Mother?" ”
"Didn't Your Majesty say that the envoys of the dog Rong are waiting for our Daewoo to give them an explanation, and the mourning family will go and give them a good explanation!"
Empress Dowager Yu's sonorous and powerful steps did not look like Mrs. Lai in her seventies, and Emperor Zhu hurried two steps to catch up: "Now? ”
"Or else?"
Empress Wen, Wen Zhong and Prince Zhu Yun also followed closely behind.
And when they saw this, they all went out.
……
Zhu Yu listened to his mother's words and ran all the way to his uncle's house guarding the city gate.
At this time, it was already night, and many families in Xicheng had turned off their lights and rested.
Uncle Chi Ming's house is in Xishi, only one yard to enter, and so are the neighbors left and right, Zhu Yu knocked on the door and heard it left and right, the autumn night was quite cold, and the neighbor who got up muttered reluctantly: "Who came to report the funeral so late?" ”
Ordinary people are most taboo to come to the door in such a hurry in the middle of the night, his aunt was unwilling to push his uncle, his uncle Chi Ming was busy dressing, and came to open the door in a cold shiver, seeing that it was Zhu Yu who was very surprised: "Why is the Third Highness here?" ”
Zhu Yu's uncle Chi Ming, who was also a general of the dominant party, since he came back from going to southern Xinjiang with his brother ten years ago, he was demoted to the city guard by His Majesty, Zhu Yu also begged his mother for this matter, but the mother scolded him for letting him be nosy, and even didn't let him walk around with the Chi family on weekdays.
However, today, the mother concubine suddenly told him that his brother did not die of illness when he went to southern Xinjiang, but was killed by someone, and he still had doubts in his heart, so he came to ask his uncle who went to southern Xinjiang with his brother to ask for a clear understanding.
Chi Ming wrapped the coat wrapped around his body, wiped the chair in the hall and waited for Zhu Yu to sit down, he just sat down, he looked at Zhu Yu's eyes flickering, and even a hint of apology flashed on his dark and thin face: "Uncle knows, there will be such a day when you come to me......"
"......" Zhu Yu frowned slightly, "So what the mother concubine said is true?" ”
Chi Ming lowered his head, his eyes dodged: "Your Highness didn't let me say it, he also asked me to tell Concubine Li, don't let the Third Prince avenge him, he wants the Third Prince You must not be like him, let Concubine Li Niangniang must let you stay away from these intrigues and live well." ”
"......" Zhu Yu's fist squeaked, his nails sank deep into the skin without realizing it, and he opened his slightly trembling and somewhat pale lips, "So, my brother was really poisoned by the Wen family!" ”
"Your Highness, when he drank the dove poison, he voluntarily left a suicide note saying that he was infected with the plague, in order to protect us soldiers who went to southern Xinjiang with him......" Chi Ming is more than thirty years old, a dignified seven-foot man, and he said that the pain was no longer silent, "Your Highness is for us, ......"
Zhu Yu almost stopped breathing when he heard this, he suddenly got up and ran in the direction of the imperial city.
He inquired all the way to the Taiji Hall, and just happened to see Concubine Li coming out of it.
He said to his mother, "Erchen just went to see his uncle......
Concubine Li raised her face and looked at her little son, who was not as weak as the crown, but he was already a lot taller than her, she hadn't looked at her little son carefully for a long time, the more he grew up, the more he looked like his brother's handsome black eyes were slightly red, it should be just now that his uncle said something to him that shouldn't be said.
Concubine Li nodded: "Really?" Then let's go back to your yard and talk about it......"
"Okay." Zhu Yu helped Concubine Li, knew the cause of his brother's death, and then looked at his mother, he always felt that he owed too much, his mother and uncle all knew that only he had lived heartless for so many years, and he could even think of how sad his mother felt every time he mentioned his brother in front of his mother?
What came out behind Concubine Li was the Hua family couple, and then Hua Luo and Ye Qinghan.
As soon as Hualuo went out, she saw Zhu Yu, and it was the first time she saw Zhu Yu after the autumn hunt.
She waved her hand at Zhu Yu: "Why did you just come, it was interesting just now!" ”
Zhu Yu raised his head, his starry eyes flashed slightly, he only glanced at her and didn't answer her, so he helped Concubine Li to walk towards the harem.
Hualuo's waving hand stopped in the air, this Zhu Yu actually ignored her, how could it be, it must be because Concubine Li was present and he was afraid, right, it must be!
Hualuo was thinking about Zhu Yu's affairs so much that she didn't notice the loss on her face at all, and all fell into Ye Qinghan's eyes.
