Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fiefdom
King Gong died, and the Jiang family must go to mourn.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yucheng took his twins to Prince Gong's Mansion, and when they arrived, Prince Gong's Mansion was deserted, and there were few outsiders there. Jiang Yucheng asked Jin Yi a few words, and Jin Yiyi: "The grandson drove away all the people who came to mourn." ”
Wei Zhi knelt in front of the brazier with a pale face dressed in filial piety, and Wei Shan and Steward Jin were both sad and worried about Wei Zhi's legs.
After seeing Jiang Yucheng, the two seemed to see a savior, "Lord Jiang, please help persuade Shisun, he has been kneeling here all night, and the old slave is really afraid that he will break his legs." ”
Jiang Yucheng nodded. He took the twin sons to incense King Gong first, and then asked the twin sons to burn a stack of paper money for King Gong.
After doing all this, he slowly spoke: "The prince saved my life, and I prepared a gift to thank you, but the prince refused to thank me." Do you know what the prince said at the time? He looked at Wei Zhi and asked.
Wei Tong didn't seem to hear it, and still added paper to the brazier by himself.
"The prince said that the last thing he can let go of in his life is his only grandson. After he goes, he will leave you alone in the world, the royal family has always been weak, and the biological parents and brothers are still unreliable, so he doesn't expect others to take much care of you. ”
"He said that he saved my life, not because of kindness, but so that I could take more care of my grandson in the future. When the prince was alive, he was most worried about you, the grandson, and now that he has just closed his eyes, you toss yourself like this, do you want to make his old man feel at ease below? ”
Wei Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of bloodshots.
"My grandfather is gone, my home is gone, it's just a pair of waste legs, what is there to care about."
He was too depressed, Jiang Yucheng thought to himself, it was not a good thing to go on like this.
Just as he was about to speak, Wen Yan said on the side: "Brother Shisun, didn't you say that you have always treated us as younger brothers, in this case, my brother and I are also your family, right?" ”
Wen Bo also said: "Originally, I was the boss and Wen Yan was the second, but now we let you be the boss, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Yucheng glared at his two sons and motioned for them to shut up.
Unexpectedly, their words moved Wei Tong, he looked at Wenbo and said the word "good".
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yucheng again, "Thank you Lord Jiang for your persuasion, I know that my grandfather was the one who couldn't let go of me the most during his lifetime, and I was just carried away by grief before, and I will also understand that I can't let my grandfather go uneasy." In the future, I will live a good life, live a long life, and have a full house of children and grandchildren, so that I can live up to my grandfather's love and expectations for me. ”
His voice was hoarse and his tone was choked, obviously not as weak as the crown, but he was like a weathered middle-aged man.
Jiang Yucheng patted him on the shoulder, "Open the door and let people come in to offer condolences, King Gong is the respect of the prince after all, and he deserves to mourn after death." ”
Wei Zhi nodded. Steward Jin immediately ordered someone to open the gate of the palace.
Seven days later, King Gong went out of the funeral, and Emperor Xianqing ordered the crown prince to send his uncle on his behalf for the last time, and read out the holy decree of conferring Wei Fang as the king of Boling County in front of his spirit.
Boling is not far from the capital, is a relatively wealthy state and county, Emperor Xianqing took this place as the fief of Wei Zhi, but also to appease the emperor's uncle in the heavens.
And when the news reached the palace, Concubine Xiang angrily smashed another set of tea sets.
"Why, that Wei Tong is just an orphan with no relatives and no support, why does the emperor treat him so favorably? My birch is still a bald prince now, why doesn't the emperor, a father, think about his own son. ”
When she said this, she didn't want to avoid people at all, so she was listened to by Emperor Xianqing.
Emperor Xianqing originally criticized the folds in the Chenghui Palace, and he thought of Wei Tong after criticizing. After Uncle Huang went, Wei Tong became an orphan, which is really pitiful.
Wei Tong thought of his second son, the second prince Wei Hua, his legs were useless, and he could only be a rich and idle king in the future. The prince is not the same mother as him, and the Marquis of Jinyang and the Marquis of Yongyi have always been at odds, after the prince ascends the throne, although he will not do anything to him, it will not be very good to him.
Emperor Xianqing was worried about Wei Hua's situation and felt that his fief should be determined in advance. Concubine Xiang is the biological mother of the second prince, and she should listen to her opinion, so he came to Xingqing Palace.
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Concubine Xiang's complaint, and he stopped and planned to return to Chenghui Palace.
At this time, the little eunuch of Xingqing Palace found him and immediately knelt down and saluted: "The slave has seen the emperor." ”
Emperor Xianqing had no choice but to dispel the idea of going back.
He glanced at Liang Bingfang, and Liang Bingfang immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor has arrived." ”
When Concubine Xiang in the house heard this, she hurriedly came out to greet the holy driver.
Emperor Xianqing glanced at her, walked straight to the soft side and sat down, and Concubine Xiang followed behind him.
"I heard what you just complained."
Concubine Xiang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, "Your Majesty, the concubine owes her mouth for a while, and she didn't speak through her brains, and she also asks the emperor to forgive her sins." ”
Emperor Xianqing stared at her directly, thinking that she was indeed not very smart, otherwise she would not have been selected to enter the palace in the first place.
After all, Yong Yihou's second granddaughter is very smart and has a beauty that ordinary people can't match. What does Concubine Xiang have, except for the identity of Changfang, her knowledge, talent, and appearance are not as good as her cousin.
There are too many smart women in the harem, and they also need a simple-minded person like Concubine Xiang to reconcile them. So Concubine Xiang did something wrong, as long as it wasn't too serious, he would turn a blind eye and not bother with her.
Emperor Xianqing glanced at her, "I won't bother with you this time, you should pay attention to yourself, and you have talked in your head." ”
Concubine Xiang hurriedly responded: "Emperor Xie, the concubines will pay attention in the future." ”
Emperor Xianqing saw that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, and he was very satisfied, and beckoned to him, and Concubine Xiang hurriedly leaned over.
"I came to you today for the sake of Hua'er." Emperor Xianqing got straight to the point.
When Concubine Xiang heard this, she immediately sat up straight.
"As you said, I have only two sons and one daughter, and the prince doesn't need to mention it, after a hundred years, my ancestors' family business will be his. Yun'er is still young, and she is a princess, as long as she finds a good person to marry, as long as this Jiangshan is still surnamed Wei, no one dares to bully her. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Xianqing sighed, "Only Hua'er, who suffered bad luck when she was young, and her temperament was used to being arrogant and arrogant, and she fought against the prince many times. Although the prince doesn't care about him, he won't be as kind as he is to Yun'er. I thought, it's better to set his fief early, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will go to live in the fiefdom. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.
Emperor Xianqing knew what she wanted to say, "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans for it." I know you don't want Hua'er to leave the capital, but the fief is his own place, as long as he doesn't rebel and stays away, the prince will always take care of a little brotherhood. ”
Concubine Xiang's eyes were red, "The concubine knows that the emperor is for Hua'er's good, but the concubine is reluctant." He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he could only go to the fiefdom alone in the future, and as long as the concubines thought of this picture, their hearts hurt like a knife. ”
"Nonsense, he wants to marry a wife and have children in the future, how can he be alone with his wife and children." Emperor Xianqing shouted lightly.
Concubine Xiang wiped her tears and bowed her head silently.
Emperor Xianqing frowned, and said in a slow tone: "Next year is the year of the general election, I will choose a virtuous and docile concubine for Hua'er, don't worry." ”
Concubine Xiang's face was a little stiff, and she almost told Emperor Xianqing's son that she had decided on the candidate. Because of the majesty of the emperor, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
"Your Majesty, you just said that you want to determine Hua'er's fiefdom, I don't know where you plan to place him?"
Emperor Xianqing said: "Jiang'an is rich, Lizhou is beautiful, I plan to use Jiang'an and Lizhou as Hua'er's fiefdoms." ”
"Those two?" Concubine Xiang exclaimed, "It's too far away from the capital." ”
"Concubine Ai, tell me, where should Hua'er's fief be chosen?"
"The concubines are definitely Jichuan and Weihai County, they are close to the capital, and the degree of wealth is no less than that of Boling, Pizhou and other places, so it is just right to make a fief for Hua'er."
