Chapter 39: A Turning Point (4)
They shouted in unison: "Evade! Quiet! ”
"Avoid!"
"Silence!"
When the people saw such a big battle, and they came out of the palace, they retreated to both sides, not daring to raise their voices.
The carriage moved forward again, and Ming Weiran saw that the people around him were looking over, and immediately put down the small curtain that had been raised, and sat there, no longer looking out, it was the first time for him to be treated like this, and he was escorted by so many people.
I couldn't help but be a little excited, but also a little confused.
The people looked at the carriage to see who was sitting in it, but the man in the carriage was tightly blocked by the veil.
When the carriage was far away, the people began to talk about it.
Everything in that towering red wall is always so mysterious, and the people always have endless fantasies about it, about the right to cover the sky with one hand, about the woman who captivates the country and the city, about the life of poverty and luxury......
It's all their after-dinner conversation.
"Yo, who is this? The battle was not small. A woman with a basket of vegetables looked up at the carriage in the distance.
"It's like a concubine, I think the car looks like a concubine, could it be a queen?" The woman next to her answered.
"Yo, have you seen the concubine and the queen's car?" The woman carrying the vegetable basket squinted, "I look like a Qincha, a second-grade official?" Be! He must have taken an errand from the emperor and left the palace immediately. ”
"Don't you say it's really like it. I heard that many provinces are suffering from drought now...... It must be for this. ”
The carriage walked a long way, and every place it walked by, there would be a place to talk about, this road was very long, Ming Weiran sat upright for a while, and then wanted to open the curtain and see the situation outside, but was stopped by Xiao Lu.
The so-called heavenly face cannot be easily shown.
In the evening, I arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, and the population became sparse.
When I arrived at the Qichang Palace, the sky was completely dark.
Ming Weiran only thought it was a simple palace, and it wasn't until he entered the door that he knew what kind of exquisite and huge complex it was.
Qichang Palace, was built more than 70 years ago, when it was built only one palace is Qichang Palace, and then the emperor continued to expand, now there are many large and small Xuan, pavilions, attics and Zhai rooms, in fact, it should be called Qichang Garden, but it is called habitual, it has been called "Qichang Palace".
Although it was already dark, there were lights everywhere, and the sight was elegant and handsome.
Pavilions and pavilions, floors and pavilions, water stone Qinghua...... At first glance, I thought it was a fairyland nurtured by nature, but if you look closely, you can get its natural meaning.
Ming Weiran looked around and couldn't help but shake his head in amazement, it turned out that in ancient times, the life of the so-called rich and powerful people was like this, and the emperor would enjoy it......
Ming Weiran arrived at his residence, the first thing he saw was the three eye-catching big characters engraved on the plaque of the main hall "Fengran Pavilion", and he was visited by the ten eunuchs and palace maids when he entered, after dinner, it was not early, but the various places in the Qichang Palace were still brightly lit, but with the thick of the night, it was a little brighter.
At this moment, the scenery in the courtyard is indescribably quiet and beautiful, but Ming Weiran looked out the window, did not have the heart to enjoy the scenery, and was thinking deeply about Xining.
Yu Cheng's disappearance is nothing more than Yu Moxue's one-sided words, but now he doesn't know the situation in the imperial court or Xining, and he can only choose to believe in Yu Moxue.
If what he said was the truth, he would definitely try his best to find out the reason, if Yu Moxue framed himself, at least he had to look at the situation there, see what medicine he sold in his gourd, maybe he could also expose Xu Maochang and Jiang Bicai, then it was not in vain.
But he didn't seem to have any reason to deceive himself......
So the first thing is to "escape", and of course there are many ways to escape.
This "palace" is not small, and we have to figure out the layout here.
Without further ado, right now.
"Little Green, the scenery in the palace is so good, I want to go out and have a look."
"Yes, Niangniang, the slave also wants to go out and have a look, and the lights are lit up here at night, and it is also very bright." Midori replied with a smile.
Xiao Lu is rare to be so happy, Ming Weiran got up and walked out of the Fengran Pavilion, four eunuchs, three palace maids hurriedly followed behind him, Ming Weiran wanted to send it away, but after all, it was already late at night, and it was good to have a few more people.
It took half an hour to figure out the general situation of Qichang Palace, and Ming Weiran carefully observed the guards here.
It was found that it was whimsical to want to escape, not to mention that the red wall alone was five or six meters high, and the four gates were heavily guarded, and along the way, the soldiers guarding met three or four teams......
When Ming Weiran was worried, a group of soldiers in front of her attracted her attention, because the person leading the troops was Ze Yun.
"Lord Zeyun." Ming Weiran looked at the humanity in front of him.
"See the Queen." Zeyun arched his hand.
"Lord Ze personally led the troops to check it." Ming Weiran thought that a few words of greeting were always good.
"Yes, after making sure that everything is correct here, the minister can also go back with confidence." Ze Yun said, "Why did Niangniang leave the palace at this time? ”
"The scenery of Qichang Palace at night is charming, so take people out for a walk." Ming Weiran replied with a smile.
Not only is it heavily guarded, but it also meets a responsible ......
By the way, why do you have to run away as a queen, can't you go out openly?
"This palace wants to go out of the palace to see, I don't know if it's possible?"
"Naturally, you can."
"Really?!" Ming Weiran said in surprise.
"Yes, the minister went to report to the emperor, and the emperor agreed, so you can naturally leave the palace." , Zeyun saw Ming Weiran's look of surprise, and said with a smile in his words.
"I don't know why Niangniang left the palace?"
As soon as Ming Weiran heard "Report to the Emperor", the surprise just now was swept away, but she still smiled: "When I go out to the palace, I want to see the people in the suburbs of Beijing and the idyllic scenery, in fact, I don't have to bother the emperor." ”
"Niangniang, the minister doesn't dare to let you out of the palace at will, this is related to your safety, you have to inform the emperor first."
Okay, he's a real person.
"Then you don't have to bother the emperor, let's talk about it later." Ming Weiran was not so disappointed, no matter how bold he was, he couldn't let himself out of the palace casually.
"I'll go back first."
"Congratulations to the Queen." Ze Yun arched his hand and turned sideways to the side, and the rest of the soldiers also stepped aside to make way for Ming Weiran.
Ming Weiran was so tired that she returned to the palace and wanted to find Qingyu, but she never had a chance to say a word to him, after all, there were palace people around.
Because he was going to fast tomorrow, he had a good bath, and Ming Weiran fell asleep.
……
When fasting, do not eat meat, and if you do not eat meat, you must not eat meat, you must not drink alcohol, and you should not eat the other five spices.
Fasting will change food, and dwelling will be moved.
There is no religious aspect of fasting here, but it is derived from the Confucian principle of "devotion and concentration, unity of will." When heaven befalls the people, a good Son of Heaven will think that this is God's punishment for him.
We must ask ourselves whether we are dedicated to serving the people, whether we are diligent and thrifty, and whether we are using mediocre officials......
If you, as the emperor, do not treat the heavens sincerely [worthy of the people], then the heavens will resent, and the Son of Heaven must be sincere in fasting to reflect on the past.
