Chapter 059: Three-legged
The emperor is not so easy to be.
Wen Jingyuan gradually felt powerless a few months after ascending the throne, he was preoccupied during the day, and nightmares were frequent at night, looking at all kinds of imperial food, he only felt nauseous, irritable and had no appetite, unless it was a meal cooked by Concubine Yun herself, he couldn't eat half a bite.
"Where's Concubine Yun? Why didn't you see her bring breakfast today? It doesn't matter if I'm alive or dead? When he got up in a daze early in the morning but didn't see his beloved concubine, Wen Jingyuan couldn't help but be a little irritable.
"Back to the emperor, didn't you say that you wanted to see the national teacher of Qingyue Country today? Niangniang said that the harem concubines should not be involved in politics, so they didn't come in the morning, just to avoid suspicion. Father-in-law Zhao waited for Wen Jingyuan to freshen up and dress, and then took the food box brought by the palace maid and presented it to the table, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Yun can't arrive, the breakfast has been prepared for the emperor, and it's still hot!" β
When the lid of the food box was lifted, a layer of hazy heat slowly rose and dissipated, and the smell was full of fragrant fragrance.
Concubine Yun, as the eldest princess of Qingyue, has amazing cooking skills, which is no secret in the harem, those ordinary ingredients can be conjured into more delicious dishes than those made in the imperial dining room when they reach her, which always makes Wen Jingyuan full of praise, even if it is just a light side dish, it can have an endless aftertaste.
Wen Jingyuan did not go to the court after a simple breakfast, but changed into his regular clothes and waited in the dormitory - he had been seriously ill in the past few days, and he had not been in the early court for three days, anyway, the civil and military officials could understand that he had a lot of opportunities and accumulated hard work, and it didn't matter if he relied on the previous day, so he took this opportunity to meet a person he had long wanted to see.
"National Teacher, please, the emperor has been waiting for a long time." Wen Jingyuan sat down for a while, and Zhao Gonggong led a person into the hall, and that person was like a plain white storm, which immediately attracted Wen Jingyuan's attention.
The clothes are spotless white, the skin is porcelain white that is different from ordinary people, and the most jaw-dropping thing for Wen Jingyuan is that the person's long snow-white hair is comparable to the skin of the clothes, and even the delicately groomed eyebrows are also white. Wen Jingyuan couldn't help but wonder, if such a person was thrown into the snowdrift, wouldn't he be able to find it?
"Qingyue National Teacher Lian Song has seen His Majesty Emperor Yuan, and I greet His Majesty Emperor Yuan on behalf of my king, and I wish Your Majesty a healthy dragon body and auspicious blessings." The man saluted respectfully, his every move was extremely standardized and elegant, and when he bowed, the pure white hair hanging on his back was like a large piece of falling snow, which made Wen Jingyuan sigh for a while.
"Even the national teacher was born with a strange appearance, and he must be a strange person, otherwise he would not have become a national teacher of Qingyue at a young age."
Lian Song smiled decently, bowed again, a pair of light-colored pupils seemed to be sky blue, and like water blue, and the wonderful color made Zhao Gonggong on the side look stupid.
"There must be one person in each generation of the Weichen family who inherits this appearance, looks special, but they are all miserable and short-lived, and when they come to Weichen, they don't know how many more years they can live." Lian Song's face did not show the slightest fear of short life, and his faint smile was like a stone carving, and the lines remained unchanged, "Don't talk about that, it's all something that is not interesting." I am fortunate to marry into the Yuan Kingdom as a concubine and be favored by Your Majesty, my king is very glorious, Wei Chen came this time in addition to visiting the princess for my king, but also for my king to convey respect to Your Majesty, and some small playthings to your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty smiles. β
In the land of Zhongzhou, there are many states, among which there are five countries with the strongest power, namely Yuanguo, Tanqing, Zhuguo, Wuradu Khanate and Qingyue. In contrast, among the five countries, the Qingyue country is the poorest, and it has been called an alliance for a hundred years, but it is actually attached to the Yuan country, which makes it reasonable to make a contribution gift. Wen Jingyuan was not interested in rare treasures, so he casually glanced at him and praised a few words before letting Zhao Gonggong move down, and after a few words of greeting, he couldn't wait to go straight to the point.
"Concubine Yun often mentioned to me the national teacher, saying that the national teacher is amazingly talented, unparalleled in the world, and is the pillar of Qingyue country. I've been looking for an opportunity to ask Lian Guoshi for advice, but now that I've finally got the opportunity, I'm a little excited and I don't know what to say. β
Lian Song still smiled lightly, slightly tilted his head to look at the attendant next to him, and coughed lightly.
Wen Jingyuan understood, frowned and waved his hand: "You all go down, I have important matters to discuss with Lian Guoshi, and no one is allowed to come in without my will." β
After the palace maids and eunuchs retreated, Lian Song let out a long sigh: "It's much easier to talk like this." Previously, Concubine Yun's family letter had mentioned that His Majesty had many troubles, and Niangniang was constantly worried about this, and always hoped to share the worries and solve problems for His Majesty, so there was a chance for Weichen to meet today. If Your Majesty can trust Wei Chen, you can bring all the troubles together, and Wei Chen will do his best to share His Majesty's worries. β
I had heard that the national teacher of Qingyue was resourceful and almost hollowed out the power of the Qingyue royal family, Wen Jingyuan was indeed a little impatient for such a talent, so he didn't plan to beat around the bush, and all the secrets hidden in his stomach were poured out.
Lian Song listened carefully from beginning to end, nodding or frowning from time to time, and only after Wen Jingyuan finished speaking and looked at him worriedly, did he speak leisurely: "In this way, Your Majesty's heart is not on the outside, but on the heirs of the former emperors who have been expelled from the palace?" β
"It's not that I'm narrow-minded, there are some things that I really can't force on." Wen Jingyuan let out a long sigh, his brows furrowed, "The national teacher doesn't know that I was elected to the throne by the ministers after the funeral of my brother, on the grounds that the princes are too young to take charge of the government. But two of these princes are more special, one is the second prince Wen Moshu, and the other is the fourth prince Wen Mozheng, these two people are now given the title of King Yongshan and King Cijun respectively, although they have fiefs but do not have too much real power. I did this because they had the support of their own forcesβthe king of Yongshan was affectionate, well-connected, and had the help of the emperor's brothers; King Cijun often went into the market to observe the people's feelings, did a lot of good things for the people, and won the hearts of the people more than me, and there seems to be a great adviser behind him. In this case, I couldn't find the jade seal of the imperial brother, and I heard that the two princes were secretly looking for the jade seal, and I ...... in my heart."
"It sounds like the two princes have a heart of disobedience, and it is no wonder that Your Majesty is cautious." Lian Song groaned slightly, his fingers rolled up a strand of white hair, and inadvertently teased and played, "That's good, the two princes' affairs will be noted down first, and then we will inquire in detail later, if Your Majesty has any other troubles, you might as well take this opportunity to talk together." β
Wen Jingyuan was silent for a long time, as if he was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it again, he raised his tone and said in a low voice: "Also, please ask the national teacher to find a way to help me get rid of the other two people, they know too many things that they shouldn't know." β
"Who?" Lian Song slanted the corners of his mouth with interest.
The qi accumulated in his chest spit out viciously, Wen Jingyuan lowered his body and approached Lian Song, and his tone was cold and fierce: "King Qinglian is worried, and there are ...... The prince of Dingyuan, warm and affectionate. β
The bustling street market of the imperial capital is crowded, and Wen Moqing leads the horse slowly, and when passing by the cheap but crowded inn, the storyteller's subdued voice is clearly heard.
"As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden. In the past, the prince of Jiang Guo was a guest ......"
It tells the story of the prince of Jiang Guo who killed the heroes during the chaos of the Nine Kingdoms.
Wen Moqing is no stranger to these histories, when he was a child, his father often sat on his lap to talk about history and political affairs of the previous dynasty, and told him more than once not to be a head bird and a lone showman, otherwise it would be easy to kill himself. However, Wen Moqing did not follow the wishes of his father King Dingyuan to be an ordinary son of the royal family, after his brother and mother were killed one after another, he resolutely inherited the position of the son of the world, and embarked on the political arena of endless fighting in the Yuan Kingdom.
He knew that this was a difficult and dangerous road, no matter who the emperor he supported was, he would not be allowed to exist in the end, because he was a person from the Junzilou, and he was the person who should not be involved in the government.
"The prince is here, please! My boss and the two princes have been waiting for a long time. β
The familiar Xuanran Building, the familiar horse-tethered small house, have walked through countless bluestone roads.
Wen Moqing really wanted to end this life that tired him, but he knew very well that this was not the time for him to leave, first, the revenge had not been avenged, and second, his promise to someone had not been fulfilled.
"What do you think about a dull face?" Jun Wunian walked out of Xiaozhu and greeted him, pointed behind him, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Chu Ci is also there." β
"I know." Wen Moqing was not surprised, put away his miscellaneous thoughts and walked forward, and went straight to Xiaozhu.
This small building was originally a pastime for Jun Wunian to pour himself and drink himself, cooking tea and brewing, and I can't remember what year it was, in short, after being discovered by Wen Moqing, he lost the peace and tranquility that he should have, and now it has become a good place to meet privately outside the palace, and even Chu Ci and Wen Moshu, who are not familiar, have also become one of the visitors.
However, Xiaozhu is Xiaozhu after all, and after the room is crammed with six people, it is inevitable that people will feel crowded and unable to breathe.
Seeing Wen Moqing walking into the room expressionlessly, Chu Ci supported his arms lazily and held his cheeks: "Lord, look, I said that the prince will definitely not be surprised, he has long known that Miss Yan is pretending to be a maid." β
"I can't find it without thoughts, and I naturally won't fall behind." Wen Moqing leaned against the window, did not choose to sit around the table with everyone, and flew to Yan Li, who was standing in the corner with an indifferent gaze, "Prepare your excuses, I can't run away from you." β
has promised to come to see him, will she still be able to run? Yan Li rolled his eyes, and the trace of guilt that was not too exuberant disappeared without a trace.
"The people have gathered, what can the prince and the prince of Chu say directly." Jun Wunian turned around and closed the door, and glanced at everyone in the room, "I said in advance, I will be a gentleman today, I don't use my mouth, and I can't directly rob people like a barbarian. β
Wen Moqing sneered: "When did it become to protect her?" β
"We all know the inside story, and we understand that Miss Yan and King Qinglian are not the same person, what reason is there not to protect her but to harm her?" Wen Mo retorted lightly, looking at Yan Li's soft gaze when he was worried was completely different from the coldness when he looked at Wen Moqing, "I know that the prince has been trying to find clues about the Qinglian King from Miss Yan, but there has been no gain in the past half a year, in this case, should the prince let go?" β
"I'll let go, are you going to take over?" A cold and ruthless gaze swept over Wen Moshu, and then fell on Yan Liwu, who quickly retracted his gaze and threw himself out of the window, as if he was not interested in this unexpected invitation.
He was a little annoyed.
At the beginning, he let go of his worries, but the woman not only took the initiative to help without gratitude, but went to the side that gave him the most headaches, knowing that it was better to kill her when she was in Qinglian Palace...... At least at the time, he was able to do it.
