Chapter 214
Jian Anhou was dying, and it seemed that it was still difficult to accept the reality.
"Dad, Jian'an Hou Mansion still needs you." Yan Zimo soothed, "You're not old enough yet!" ”
Jian'an Hou was silent for a while, and asked Yan Zimo with some uncertainty, "Does our Jian'an Hou Mansion have a future?" ”
"How could it not be?" Yan Zimo replied with certainty, "Although it may be difficult for us at this stage, when these things in the capital are settled, maybe we will have a chance to turn over..."
"No," Yan Zimo raised his head and said resolutely, "Even if there is no chance, the child will definitely create an opportunity!" ”
"Then we... How long do I have to wait? ”
"It won't be long!" Yan Zimo turned his head to look in the direction of the palace and muttered.
The emperor's body can't last a few years...... No matter how well the emperor covered up this matter, it still revealed the rumors.
This capital ...... It's going to be messy soon......
Because he stood on the wrong side at the beginning, and now that he has offended Prime Minister Xue Cheng's Mansion, it has become a little impractical for Jian'an Hou Mansion to choose another master. And if he stays in the capital, he may not only be entangled by Xue Yingrou, but also become a target for attack.
Yan Zimo thought about it from the beginning, and left the capital when spring began.
However, he didn't seem to want to wait even a month now, and he felt that it was better for him to leave the capital as soon as possible.
The emperor sat in the upper study, and he didn't know if he had been roasted too much charcoal, his throat was always dry and tight, and the coughing sound kept coming out.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and check your pulse?" After filling the teacup with tea, Gonggong Hai asked with concern.
"No," the emperor pinched a handkerchief with one hand to cover his mouth, trying his best to control his cough, while the other hand was still looking through the folds. His expression was very solemn, as if he was preoccupied.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body!" Father-in-law Hai was a little worried and said, "Why don't you bring you some supper?" Thinking that the emperor didn't move his chopsticks at all for dinner, Gonggong Hai thought about letting the emperor eat something and rest.
"I know!" The emperor seemed to feel that Gonggong Hai was too talkative, and his face was a little angry, "Stand down!" ”
Father-in-law Hai's body shrank, and he was so frightened that he didn't say a word anymore, and quickly retreated.
After the door of the study was closed, the emperor coughed a little.
When the emperor saw the blood stains on the handkerchief, he immediately threw the handkerchief into the charcoal basin and destroyed it.
It has been three minutes since Song Yuheng returned to the palace.
Although he thought that the emperor had gone to bed, he still went to the upper study to make a show, but he didn't expect the emperor to still correct the folds in the upper study.
"Why did you enter the palace so late?" When the emperor heard Song Yuheng's request to see him, he immediately passed him on, "Brother Ling didn't come back for the New Year, you should have a good get-together with him, and it's okay to stay in Jingyuan Houfu for one night." ”
"Thank you for the emperor's care," Song Yuheng knelt on the ground and said in a respectful tone, "I disagree with my brother on my humble position, and talking for a while will only deepen the estrangement." ”
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were obscure.
"My brother has been determined to do something in the court since he was a child, but he has a bad heart, he refuses to study steadily, he only plays some clever tricks, and he always thinks about taking shortcuts or something, and he really doesn't agree with what he does."
Song Yuheng's face did not change and said nonsense, "A few years ago, my brother was lucky to be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he looked a little bit like doing practical things, but because he entered the Gyeonggi military camp because of his humble position, he wanted to form a gang with the lowly position, so that he could find an official and a half-position in the court." He didn't want to do it, and as a result, he ran away from home! ”
"Your Majesty, the humble brother is already in his twenties, he has married a virtuous and gentle sister-in-law, and he has a lovely child under his knees, but he has no responsibility at all. This time I went out of Beijing, and I didn't know where to go, and I didn't come back for the New Year. It's not easy to come back, and I even brought back a woman! ”
Song Yuheng behaved in front of the emperor without any concealment, and between his words, he not only told Song Yuyao what he did, but also revealed his resentment.
"The elder brother was afraid that his sister-in-law would be unhappy, so he said that the concubine he accepted was a daughter-in-law who was chosen for a lowly position, and he was entangled by his sister-in-law before he left." Song Yuheng gritted his teeth and said, "The lowly position is obviously not interested in women with them, and they don't marry wives or concubines." It's good now, my sister-in-law said that because of my obsession, the relationship between her and her brother is not harmonious! ”
"Hehe......" The emperor laughed dryly, Song Yuheng's previous reason for refusing to discuss marriage with the lord of Changle County, Prince Su entered the palace the next day to report to the emperor, so the emperor also knew that Song Yuheng would not raise it.
When he heard Song Yuheng say that he was not interested in women, the emperor was also very "caring" and did not expose Song Yuheng's lies.
If he doesn't raise it, it means that he is not a man, no different from the eunuchs in the palace, even if he has bad intentions, there are no descendants to inherit. This is also the reason why the emperor finally chose to mention Song Yuheng to his side.
"It is precisely because of the disagreement between the lowly position and the elder brother that the lowly position did not stay in the Jingyuan Waiting Mansion for a while before leaving." Song Yuheng's words changed, "The lowly will return to the palace so late, in fact, it is a trip to Prime Minister Xue Cheng's mansion......"
"Went to Prime Minister Xue Cheng's Mansion?" The emperor's eyes gathered, hiding a fierce light.
Song Yuheng continued as if he hadn't noticed anything, "Actually, when I left the palace, I found that Prime Minister Xue Cheng went to Prince Yan's Mansion with a large number of guards. ”
"But after returning home, I have always been very concerned about Prime Minister Xue's actions, and after hesitating again and again, I went to Prime Minister Xue's house, which caused the time to return to the palace late."
"Oh?" Although the emperor had already learned about this from the mouth of the fourth prince, he still made him angry when he heard that Prime Minister Xue Cheng led troops to the prince's mansion in broad daylight. He felt that Prime Minister Xue Cheng was provoking the imperial power!
Damn it! Prime Minister Xue has now put his ambitions on the bright side, and he really thinks he is an ornament?!
"And what did you hear?" The emperor looked at Song Yuheng, and the trust in him deepened by two points in his eyes.
"The guards of Prime Minister Xue Cheng's Mansion are very strict, they are incompetent, and they have been squatting in Prime Minister Xue's Mansion for a long time, but they have not been able to get close to Prime Minister Xue's study." Song Yuheng said, "Prime Minister Xue seems to have gathered a lot of strategists to discuss countermeasures. As to what they discussed, the lowly could not find out. ”
The emperor frowned, obviously, he was not very satisfied with Song Yuheng's answer.
"However, I saw the Qiu Dongjia of Tongbao Qian Zhuang coming out of Xue Chengxiang's study," Song Yuheng continued, "He seems to have been tortured, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and his mouth says that he wants revenge or something......
