Chapter 10: The Dilemma
Yabu helped Zhang Luo in the palace with the affairs of the mourning hall, but whenever there was a shortage of candles, lamps, oil, silver, charcoal, and paper, he had to be approached. As soon as he arrived at the palace, he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
In the main hall, dozens of lamas chant sutras all night to lead the transcendence, and each lama must light an oil lamp in front of him, which is the lamp that illuminates the way for the deceased when the transcendence is led, and it can never be extinguished. In this way, the oil must be managed enough, and it must be refilled in time, and he also has to worry about the distance between the fire candle and the oil tank, and be careful who accidentally turns over the fire candle at night - the mourning hall is full of oil charcoal paper candles, and preventing water is the first priority. After these trivial things are told, I have to prepare for a few times before the son, and the filial sons and grandchildren will cry and mourn, burn paper, and sprinkle wine to worship.
When the mourning was finished, Amin and the others stayed at vigil, and for these three days they were to keep watch over the lamp that was in front of the spirit, and they were to refill the oil at night, and not to extinguish it.
After taking care of it, Yabu went to the side hall to find a place to rest for a while. His whole body was loose, and he collapsed on an arhat bed. At this time, I thought about how good it would be to have a shisha, and that was called comfort. But the ban on fire candles was his order, even the side hall, the brazier was few, he ordered not to have many cage fires, but he didn't expect that he was the one who froze through in the end.
Coincidentally, snow fell in the middle of the night, and the wind swept the snow through the cracks in the doors and windows of the corner of the temple, blowing like an ice cellar in the temple. There was a warm quilt on his arhat bed, and he slept coldly, covering his head and feet, and it became colder and colder, and finally his toes froze and he couldn't move. I couldn't do it, so I pulled the fox fur sleeve cage that Suge gave him and put it on my feet.
When Yabu felt that he was about to freeze to death, Fang Fujin came.
Waiting for the side Fujin to put the leather mattress on the warm quilt, and ordered someone to prepare a soup woman to stuff it under his feet, Yabu returned his soul and scolded, this time the son came, and he slept on the warm kang by himself, and the men froze to death outside and didn't know how distressed.
"It's all my fault, the front Fujin asked me to come, I was afraid that it would be cold at night, and I would freeze my lord, so I asked the wolf skin mattress to send the bed. I remembered it, but I turned my head and forgot about it. Don't be angry, don't you just hear the snow beads knocking on the window, and you can't help but remember that the lord is keeping vigil here and it's cold, and now the palace is holding a funeral, it must not be so thoughtful, the things are short, and the lord's temperament will not go, but it won't freeze? I was so scared that I immediately climbed out of the hot quilt and brought it to you. β
Fang Fujin has a temperament, but after so many years, he already knows how to deal with Yabu. Yabu has a big temperament, but it doesn't last long, no matter how big the fire is, it's good to coax a few words. She said as she gently kneaded Yabu's frozen legs and feet. Sure enough, Yabu was very useful, and he was not annoyed, and after listening to her words, he snorted, "When will you rest assured that you are alive or dead, we have been able to survive in your hands all these years, all thanks to the blessing of Fujin." β
Fang Fujin smiled again and again, and asked with a shy face, "Master, I haven't heard any news after half a night?" β
"Hmph, I know that you didn't sincerely bring a mattress to the master. I came here because I wanted to ask Suge about it?γγγ By the way, just now I was busy, I saw a shadow, although it was not real, I saw that it was eternal, and it disappeared when I missed it, who allowed him to come here to wrap up the mess? Jabu closed his eyes and became drowsy.
Fang Fujin knew that Yabu was annoying this son, and he was about to have a seizure when he heard the news of him, and he didn't see Yongchang after dinner, who knew that he was running to the palace, and it would probably not be good to come to the palace at this time, but he couldn't take care of this kid at this time.
She pretended not to hear, knelt on the wooden pedals, and whispered in her ear, "Master, Xiao Fujin just came to our house, please help." Our Fujin can't wipe off his face, and he has already agreed, "I whispered back to Xiao Fujin who passed the house in the middle of the night and asked him to help deliver a message to Prince Yi. said worriedly, "I don't know if Xiao Fujin went to our mansion and was noticed by that person?" β
In the dead of night, although there was no one else in the side hall at this time, Yabu also woke up in fright, turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand to touch the stubble that had just emerged from his chin, looked around, and then pointed to the direction of the main hall, and whispered, "I have been with me all night, I don't think I noticed it." After speaking, he frowned, "This matter... It's not difficult to do, but your Fujin promised to be in a hurry, this is a big deal, you should discuss it with me... Our family is coated with yellow flags, and whoever is the owner of the flag can do it, and the same will do everything for the master. But in the hands of the emperorγγγγγγ β
Fang Fujin was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he first wrapped the wolf skin mattress for him, and didn't understand why he mentioned the emperor, "Prince Yi is the leader of the flag, he must have obtained the emperor's will, we helped him, and by the way, we solved the danger of Xiao Fujin." What else is there to be embarrassed?! β
Prince Yi was not familiar with the Khalkha life, and he played a role in taking over the flag owner, one is to repay the love between Xiao Fujin and the old prince, and the other is to show his face in front of the future flag owner and make meritorious contributions, which is a good thing.
Yabu couldn't say anything in his heart at the moment.
Prince Yi has buried his roots since the power of the court beat the first emperor, and now from top to bottom, it is intertwined, and he can't afford to provoke it. But you can't afford to mess with it, and you can't talk nonsense. If you really do something for this master, even if you are stuck, it may not be a good thing to be on the bar. In the end, he has been a minister of life, and he knows that he is powerful.
Prince Yi's ambitions, as well as the emperor's jealousy of Prince Yi, many ministers in the court have already noticed some signs. In addition to the undercurrent dark stones in the court, there is also an incident that makes the courtiers uneasy - he has been on the throne for three years now, and the harem has not given birth to a prince for him. The prince is the foundation of the society, without the prince, the country has no foundation, so even if there is no prince, the crown prince must be established, the terrible thing is that if you can't give birth in the next two years, the younger brother is not without precedent to be the crown princeγγγγγγ I don't dare to think about it.
When it comes to this, if you don't make a move, you can't designate it, help, the emperor will know sooner or later, will he be worried about this matter? What does the emperor think, now that he is far away from the capital, there is no news at all, and he can't guess it. Originally, Yabu was a person who didn't like to waste his brains, and he used to make up his mind, no matter who sat on the throne, he only wanted to be a loyal minister, and he listened to the emperor in everything, which was the easiest way. But I never expected that I was forced into the abyss in Khalkha, and it was not right to advance or retreat...
"Ye just warmed up, and I was scared by you again, so I can't sleep tonight!" Yabu muttered, jumped off the ground, wrapped in a wolfskin mattress, and spun around himself. Fang Fujin also began to worry after listening to him, and he had no idea, so he just sat there and looked at him, and after a while, he pulled two long yawns, closed his eyes and jumped into a nap. When Yabu saw it, he was very envious of her heartless energy, so he had to give her the wolf skin mattress.
It's so hard to kill him! The shot is always going to come out. It's just that you have to leave room for the rest of your time. If the matter is done, the emperor asked him, Yabu, I asked you to go to Khalkha to help Prince Yi? Then he was not far from the slit at the back of his neck.
In the midst of his thoughts, there was a long bangzi outside, "Be careful of the candle~~~" In the snowy night, the long dragging sound passed through the palace and gradually disappeared. Yabu calculated that it was already the end of the hour, and in another hour, it would be dawn, and as soon as the day dawned, Prince Yi should arrive.
