Chapter 42: Childe and Stay (30)
Hearing this, Li Jiu immediately knelt down on one knee and put his hands in front of his forehead.
"Lijiu is willing to serve the prince. Do your best, and then die! β
"Get up."
"Yes, lord."
-
The next day, because of the emperor's disappearance, there was an uproar again.
"Lord Wang, the old minister thinks that the top priority is to find Your Majesty, and the March Spring Hunt should be put aside."
Because the landing minister emphasized the matter of the spring hunt in March, and there was no objection from the court, Wang Jin could only drag half a foot into the coffin.
"Your Excellency Wang's words are inappropriate."
Lu Xiang still held on to the matter of spring hunting, and just after a few breaths in the ranks, he stood up again.
"What's wrong!"
Wang Jin stared straight at Lu Xiang with a pair of old eyes, and the turbidity in his chest these days has been reduced a lot.
"Lord Wang, the annual March Spring Hunt is a tradition left by our ancestors. It aims to warn future generations not to abolish the art of riding and hunting, and not to be greedy for pleasure and not to forge ahead. There is no reason to postpone it. β
"You! You! You! β
Wang Jin was so angry that he almost didn't mention it, and his face turned red, "Lu Liancheng, you are very good!" β
After that, he couldn't hold it anymore, closed his eyes, and fell backwards. Fortunately, several officials behind Wang Jin have always been friendly with him, and when they saw that the situation was wrong, they immediately had someone to support them. Otherwise, Wang Jin's body bones will be explained today.
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
Wang Jin fainted, and An Li could no longer sit in the high hall as a spectator, so he could only immediately order one of the little eunuchs of the Xuan Dynasty standing on the side to go to the Tai Hospital to find two doctors.
"Someone! Fu Wang went to the apse to rest. β
An Li gave an order, and two guards immediately came in outside the hall to carry Wang Jin carefully to the apse.
After Wang Jin was carried away, the court suddenly fell into silence again.
Seeing this, An Li's eyes sank, and he asked with a smile, "But there are still people who want to propose to postpone the spring hunt?" β
The people of the emperor's party hung their heads, sweating on their foreheads, and no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to speak out. One by one, they can only hope that the peace letter they received a few days ago is true, otherwise they will all be cold.
"Oh, since no one objects anymore, then spring hunting will continue. Retreat. β
"Retreatβ"
As soon as the shrill voice of the eunuch of the Xuan Dynasty came out, all the ministers bent down in unison and saluted.
"Your Excellency, Greetings to the Lord Regentβ"
When I went out of the temple gate, I felt that the temperature of the earth was gradually warming, and I thought of the news that everything was fine after the disaster came from the north a while ago.
An Li squinted in enjoyment, looked sideways at the throne in the palace, and couldn't help but chuckle, and the laughter gradually increased.
"Hahahahaha-"
In the hall, some ministers trembled, and some of them were old gods who maintained a saluting posture on the ground, but their waists were much straighter.
When An Li left completely, some people were almost about to collapse. Thinking carefully about the measures that An Li has made in the past month or so, the people of the Emperor's Party are even more uneasy.
-
Since the founding of Beichen, all dynasties have chosen to go to the royal hunting ground on the seventh day of the third month to hold a grand hunting of monarchs and ministers, and this year is no exception.
On this day, An Li got up early in the morning and put on his hunting clothes, opened the door, raised his eyes to look at the rising sun in the east, and felt that the depression in his chest had dissipated a lot over the years.
"Leave Nine."
"The subordinates are here."
"Remember, your main task today is to protect the Queen Mother."
"Yes."
On the other side, in the Cining Palace, Xia Yichu looked at the hunting suit that Ning He was holding, and his eyes were on fire.
"Ahe, I won't go!"
"Mother, you can't go away."
Xia Yichu's determination to stay away from An Li Ning He saw it in his eyes, but he was also helpless at this time.
"Niangniang, the ancestral system is like this, if you don't go, I'm afraid you'll be tongue-in-cheek again."
Hell the ancestral system! She only knew that if she attended the spring hunt like in her previous life, then not only would she have to watch a free blood ceremony, but also the already unclear relationship with An Li would be completely broken!
"If you don't go, you won't go! If the gossip wants to cover my head, then feel free, anyway, I'm not afraid! You just go and talk back, I'm sick and can't get up! β
"Mother's ......"
"Hurry up and talk back!"
Xia Yichu hurriedly pushed Ning He away from the bed, and when he couldn't see Ning He, he quickly changed into the plain clothes that he had prepared on the inside of the bed last night. After briefly combing through the mirror, he opened the secret passage hidden under the bed and jumped in.
Tut! Fortunately, in her previous life, when An Li cleaned up the palace after he ascended the throne, she also checked it, otherwise she would not have known that there was a secret passage under the bed board of the queen mother's bed.
This secret passage is currently only known to Xia Yichu, and even Ning He has not told it. However, she also arranged for someone to pick up Ning He later, and she didn't think anything big would happen in the future.
At the moment, she still slipped away first!
Ning He went out for only a cup of tea, and when he came back, he saw that the house was empty, and he also understood that his cousin had run away by himself.
"......"
Ning He smiled helplessly, "It's okay, it's clean if it's broken." β
Pulling the hem of his sleeves, Ning He walked calmly to the door, and pretended to be flustered and ran to the guard of honor sent by An Li.
"Oh no! The mother is gone! β
-
"Bang-"
"What did you say?"
"Lord Yu, the Queen Mother is gone."
The guard who reported the news couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he didn't dare to look up at the corner of An Li's clothes.
"Huh! Okay very! β
An Li gritted his teeth angrily, it was not enough to drop a cup, but he actually broke the ruler he touched casually.
Yu Guang saw the guards who were still kneeling on one knee, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "You go down." β
"Yes."
The guard hurriedly retreated, and by the way, closed the door to the study.
An Li sat alone in the study, and laughed angrily, "Xia Yichu, you are very good!" If you have the ability, don't let me find ......"
Xia Yichu, who was still groping in the secret passage: "Ahh
tightened his clothes and wiped a handful of snot, Xia Yichu couldn't help but mutter: "Why did you drop the fire fold!" Tsk, I'm freezing to death! β
There is no light in the darkness, which is too much of a test of people's minds.
With no light in his eyes, Xia Yichu couldn't be sure how long he had walked before he saw the exit. Quietly crawled out of the haystack, looked around, and then covered the grass back.
I don't know what kind of bad taste the exit of this secret passage is dug in the haystack in the dead alley of East Street, Xia Yichu always feels that he smells dog shit in this haystack. Pinching her nose with a bit of self-deception, she hurriedly touched the flower building.
The West Street of the capital is relatively more lively than the East Street, because Huamanlou is located in the center of the West Street.
Dodged halfway, even smeared black charcoal on his face, and deliberately rolled mud on his clothes, Xia Yichu jumped into the backyard of the flowery building with confidence.
As soon as I entered the Tianzi room and wiped my face, I heard the sound of the door opening.
"Master! What's wrong with you? β
"Don't ask, get me some clothes, and then prepare some soup, and I'm going to shower. Also, remember to ask Ling Xiao to quickly find an opportunity to go to the palace to pick up Ah He. β
