After rejecting the Qingming sacrifice ceremony, Rencheng Wang Yuancheng moved his family from Pingcheng to Luoyang New Palace.

Counting the time, the palace carriage and horse should be traveling to the territory of Yanzhou, and in a few days the holy car will arrive at Luoyang City, so Yuan Cheng is also busy with the seat.

Today, Yuancheng invited Xianyang Wang Yuanxi, Taishi Feng Xi, Taifu Muliang, and Longxi Duke Li Chongtong to the palace for a small gathering to discuss the matter of taking the car.

In the Yuancheng study, tea is cooked on a small stove, and everyone sits at one table.

Waving his hand to signal the attendants to retreat, Yuan Cheng personally held the spoon to scoop the tea into the cup for everyone, and while holding the tea cup, he said: "This time Your Majesty moved the capital to Luoyang is a major event of the country, and the high priest has set the ceremony of entering the palace on April 16, and you have been working very hard recently, so I will use this tea instead of wine to pay tribute to you!" ”

After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, everyone raised the tea cup and drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Putting the tea cup on the table, Li Chong said: "In the spring, His Majesty asked the ministers to choose the palace room for the queen, Zhaoyi and the three ladies, and the ministers had to decide according to the system. ”

Yuan Cheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Luoyang Palace City is the Guidian Lan Palace with carved railings and jade buildings, and this time it has been renovated by Lord Li, even the old palace of Pingcheng cannot be compared with it, how can Your Majesty and the queen not be satisfied?" ”

Li Chong nodded, then turned his head to look at Feng Xi and said: "Taishi, you are the current national ruler, the prince's teacher, and now your eldest daughter has been promoted to Zhaoyi again, I wonder if the Taishi is willing to go to the inner palace with his ministers tomorrow to inspect the decorations of each palace?" ”

Feng Xi knew that although the queen was now lifted by the emperor and allowed her to go to Luoyang with her, this encounter was because of Li Chong's daughter, the noble concubine and wife Li, who fell into the water, and now that the Li family has the right to govern the palace, how can Feng Xi be happy in his heart.

Feng Xi said lightly: "Your Majesty is the governor of Longxi, how dare the old man interfere?" Now the noble concubine's wife is in charge of the harem, and the matter of the inner palace can be discussed by the Duke of Longxi and the noble concubine's wife. ”

Yuan Cheng saw that Li Chong's face changed when he heard Feng Xi's words, and it seemed that he wanted Feng Xi to refute it, but he was afraid that the two would have a quarrel because of this, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty is marrying the clan and the Han family, I don't know how the King of Xianyang is preparing for it?" ”

Yuan Xi heard Yuan Cheng inquiring, and also put the cup in his hand on the case, and said: "Uncle Huang, among the big families of the Han family, the Hongnong Huayin Yang family, the Taishi Changle Feng family, the Longxi Gong Longxi Li family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Xingyang Zheng family, and the Langya Wang family are respected. ”

Glancing at Feng Xi and Li Chong, Yuan Xi smiled again and said: "Gu Si, the Gu brothers are the bloodline of the first emperor, and they are close relatives to His Majesty, so they should lead the clan." In addition to His Majesty, the five orphan brothers hired the noble daughters of each family as side concubines, and the sixth brother was not yet married, so he needed to hire a wife for him in the Han family. ”

Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "Being alone as the patriarch of a clan and the emperor's uncle, it is lonely and negligent." The king of Beihai only has the person who opens the house, and it is time to choose a wife for him. ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Uncle Huang assists His Majesty in taking charge of Pingcheng, it is a matter of every day, and Uncle Huang must not blame himself." The sixth brother is only in the year of dancing elephants, and it is not too late to choose a concubine for him now. Gu drew up a list of candidates to be selected, and when His Majesty arrived in Luoyang and performed the ceremony of resignation, Gu submitted a petition to His Majesty to decide. ”

Everyone nodded and praised when they heard Yuan Xi's words, and Yuan Chengfu added new tea to everyone's bowls, and then discussed the sacrifice.

While everyone was talking, Yuan Cheng hurriedly entered the inner servant Shunyu, and when he was about to salute everyone, he said to Yuan Cheng: "King Rencheng, Lord Jiang Yinqi of Yulin Wei came to deliver the letter, and now he is waiting in the outer room." ”

When Yuan Cheng heard this, he was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? The people of the Feather Forest? ”

This Yu Lin Wei is a close trip to the emperor, if it is not urgent, he will never come at this time, everyone looks at each other, and they are all stunned.

When the Yulin soldiers came in, they saluted everyone, and then said: "The last general, Yulin Lang Wei Hua, has something to serve as the king of the city." ”

Yuan Cheng frowned slightly when he saw this Wei Hua's dusty appearance, and said, "But what does Your Majesty command?" ”

Wei Hua only bowed his head and said nothing, and when everyone saw this, they immediately understood, and they all got up and retreated.

After everyone left, Wei Hua opened his mouth and said: "King Rencheng, Your Majesty was ambushed at the Changyi Post Station yesterday, and Lord Jiang specially sent his ministers to the King of Rencheng to know!" ”

When Yuan Cheng heard this, he was immediately shocked, and said hurriedly: "How is Your Majesty doing now, and what about the people in the palace?" How could this Lin Wei's 3,000 people make His Majesty ambushed? ”

Wei Hua hurriedly replied: "When the minister set off for Luoyang last night, His Majesty was still in a coma, and everyone in the palace didn't know what happened to His Majesty..."

So, Wei Hua told Yuan Cheng in detail about the unexpected things that happened to Yuan Hong yesterday and He to the valley on the way back.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Cheng gasped and said, "Are you saying that Your Majesty blocked the flying arrow for Bao Zhaoyi, and those masked people saw that Your Majesty was hit by an arrow and quickly jumped off their horses?" ”

Wei Hua nodded and said, "At that time, the minister fought with several brothers, and Lord Jiang faced off against the leader, but when His Majesty fell, those people stopped fighting. ”

Yuan Cheng had already gotten up and left the table at this time, and said as he paced: "According to what you said, those masked people must have come prepared, and assassinating His Majesty is their only purpose. Who is it that dares to do such a murderous thing! ”

Wei Hua said: "Back as the king of the city, Lord Jiang has sent the Yu Linwei brothers to track down those who ambushed them. ”

Taking a breath, Wei Hua continued: "Your Majesty has suffered an accident now, and he doesn't dare to let everyone know, so the eunuch and Lord Jiang agreed to only say to the people in the palace that Your Majesty has suffered from the wind and cold, and needs to recuperate at the post station for a few days. Lord Jiang is a minister to the king of Rencheng, which can also make you feel prepared. ”

Yuan Cheng nodded heavily, and said, "You have worked hard all the way, so go down and rest quickly." ”

When Wei Hua heard this, he bowed to Yuan Cheng before leaving the inner room.

Wei Hua left the inner room here, and Yuan Cheng called Shunyu, a close servant, to come in.

Yuan Cheng looked solemn and said to Shunyu: "Hurry up and go to the Xianyang Palace, and invite the Xianyang King back!" ”

After a pause with a flick of his fingers, Yuan Cheng said again: "King Xianyang has not been leaving for a long time, and if someone chases after him, he may have time to invite him back." ”

Shunyu saw that Yuan Cheng's expression was different, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly got up and wanted to find Yuan Xi.

Yuan Cheng seemed to suddenly think of something else, and hurriedly called: "Come back, you go and invite the Taishi back, just say to him, Your Majesty has a will for the Taishi...

Shunyu nodded and said, "King Ren Cheng can rest assured, the slave will go and invite the Taishi back." ”
