Chapter 282: Reborn
Soon, Zhu Changan found that even the Ninth Uncle Xiaoyao, who had ignored the government for a long time, blew his beard on the left and glared at him on the right.
King Xiaoyao is the emperor's only younger brother who has both glory and status, and the emperor's process of seizing the throne was not good-looking, and his brothers basically did not end well. At that time, the Nine Emperors stood firmly by the emperor's side early in the morning, and helped a lot openly and secretly, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he named him the King of Ease.
The meaning of the title was naturally understood by the Nine Princes, who handed over the rights, dispersed the staff, and stayed away from the court very familiarly, only helping to take care of the affairs of the clan, ignoring all other things, and maintaining peace and glory.
Over the years, the princes have gradually grown up, and the edge has gradually become apparent, and the emperor has no need to keep an eye on the powerless and powerless King Xiaoyao, and slowly handed over all the clan affairs to him.
In this way, no matter how fierce the fight within the royal family is, all the members of the royal family are respectful and polite to King Yao.
Seeing the rare anger of this imperial uncle at this moment, Zhu Chang's heart was up and down, and he hurriedly took the wine bottle and stepped forward to toast respectfully with sincerity.
Seeing that his attitude was sincere, King Xiaoyao motioned for him to go to the bamboo pavilion on the side, and opened his mouth to teach a good lesson from the position of the elders.
Only then did Zhu Changan know that his most embarrassed state today made the princesses look at him, and after tonight's banquet, it had been quietly spread among the royal family.
Zhu Changan was sweating profusely, and his legs were weak at that time.
He couldn't explain it.
He could not find the "victims", and there were a large number of witnesses against him, and he could not even testify himself.
The king of freedom scolded him: prostitution during the day; strong women; unfilial piety and rebellion; The southward trip was originally to show the great emperor's grace, in order to show the peaceful and prosperous era of the country and the people, and to celebrate the whole world, his behavior was the opposite, and it was to shame the emperor and the queen mother; disgrace to the royal clan; When it is spread out, it will make all the people laugh at shame......
"The emperor has high hopes for you, so he ordered the five princes and you to be responsible for the southward journey. But look at the five princes, conscientious and conscientious, so busy that the wind is under their feet. But what about you? How ridiculous and hateful you are in comparison with him! ”
"Nine Emperor Uncles, please save me!" Zhu Changan realized the seriousness, wiped his tears and begged for the King of Ease......
He finally knew what was strange today. What the people behind the scenes want is not his silver, but his reputation and future.
It's so ruthless!
Indeed, there is no need to make today's events known to everyone at all, it is enough to spread the word in the royal family.
As long as the Emperor Dowager and all the royal relatives dislike him, disgust him, and dislike him from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how high and strong his means are, what chance does he have to develop and grow?
If this continues, he is absolutely finished!
Don't say it's the throne, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a throne.
That's what the other party is for!
This also proves from the other side that the person who started it was not Cheng Ziyu, but in the royal family! That's why this matter was controlled on a small scale within the royal family......
King Xiaoyao also saw that Zhu Changan may not have been calculated, he had seen too much of the fighting of the princes of the previous generation, and he couldn't help sighing at this moment, and after saying a few words, he brushed his sleeves and left......
Zhu Changan knelt down and went to the emperor's residence according to the instructions of King Xiaoyao.
He knelt for two hours before the emperor, who had drunk too much, was carried back.
The emperor ignored him and went to sleep directly, and Zhu Changan didn't dare to get up.
He knelt all night, and it was almost dawn before his father-in-law was willing to accept one of his jade bibs. Subsequently, Yu Gonggong signaled him to go into the inner room and wait for the emperor to get up.
Zhu Changan was already dizzy, and the pain in his two knees was unbearable as if they had been pricked by needles, but even so, he gritted his teeth and held on.
With the help of the two chamberlains, he endured the pain, did not hum or stop, and walked to the emperor's bedside, finally getting the emperor's eyes.
The emperor snorted, took the flower tea and rinsed his mouth.
Zhu Changan was very eye-catching, took the tea cup from the hand of the chamberlain, and personally went to receive the emperor's mouthwash.
"What are you looking for me?"
"Father, my son must explain what happened last night. The son was calculated. The son was wronged. ”
"So what?"
"Father! My son was just ...... yesterday."
The Emperor waved his hand.
"What's the use of you explaining this to me? Do you think I'm going to believe you? Why should I believe you? I just saw a bad result, and that was that you were wrong! ”
"Father's ......"
"Still don't understand? The point is, why are you being calculated? Why are you seen through? Why did everything go the way someone else had planned? ”
The Emperor laughed. "After all, it's your skills that are not as good as others! If you don't practice enough, you deserve to be calculated! You can't even find evidence, you don't even have a point to refute, let alone find out who is behind it, so what's the use of you coming to me? ”
"Yes, my son was wrong. The son handed over the rights in his hands, and from today on, he concentrated on copying the scriptures, praying for the queen mother, and fulfilling his filial piety. ”
"Hmmm! OK! But you told me what happened yesterday, what was wrong with you? ”
Zhu Changan cautiously began to answer, but the emperor shook his head again and again.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't care if anyone is calculating you, who is calculating you!
All I care about is what you're going to do in a teahouse in another place in the afternoon? That's obviously not a business matter, so what private business can you have in this foreign land? You are waiting for someone, who is so important, bothering you a prince to wait there? Why are you sneaky? Why are you willing to wait so long? Have you misbehaved? Does it have anything to do with southbound? Do you want to make a profit from the southbound journey? Or are you going to take advantage of your position to do something? ”
Zhu Changan saw that the emperor's eyes changed from careless to gradually sharpened, making him like a man's back, and the whole person subconsciously shook his head and trembled.
He was about to explain, but the emperor waved his hand, and then suddenly smiled, and the sharpness became extremely indifferent after being put away.
"You say you have been wronged, but you can't even figure out the real purpose of the people behind the scenes, you can't even understand what I really care about, how can you be someone else's opponent? If you lose at the hands of others, how can you be wronged? ”
Zhu Changan was drenched in cold sweat and couldn't say a word.
He really made the trip worthwhile.
I see! It turns out that there is such a layer of meaning!
Yesterday, he first met a salt merchant, and then met a small official of the local county, and he thought that the emperor would know about it. I'm afraid that the main purpose of the person behind the scenes is here!
It is to make my father suspect himself, suspect himself of forming a gang, imply that he is profiting from the southbound, imply that he has misdeeds, cheats, and "big plans"!
What kind of person was his father? Once suspected, the other party doesn't have to do anything, just watch himself from afar, secretly, and perish......
He felt a chill in his heart.
For the first time in his life, he found that he had indeed overestimated himself! He is not just from birth with his brothers. The gap between him and his father is even more like a cloud and mud!
Zhu Changan kowtowed again and again and began to show his loyalty.
The movement of his kowtow was very loud, he didn't intend to explain, at the moment he just wanted to prove to his father that he was innocent and helpless, obedient, and understood, and he hoped that his father could see his determination.
"Who in this world is not calculated? Didn't the people who calculated you count together with me? Why can I see through it, but you can't? Come on! Let's go back! Think about what I say today, and ask for more blessings in the future! In the past two days, you and the fifth child will be handed over, and after the Jinling birthday banquet is over, you will go back to Beijing first! ”
"Yes! The sons and daughters remember their father's teachings, and they must live up to their father's teachings! ”
Looking at the back of his son's departing in a daze, the emperor shook his head.
In fact, in the emperor's view, this son is destined to be difficult to become a climate due to the pattern problem. So even if such a big thing happened, the emperor didn't even have the enthusiasm to investigate and explore the facts of yesterday.
It's just because in his cognition, Zhu Changan's vision is too low, whether he can support him, whether he chases him or not, whether he believes it or not, the result is the same, and he will be eaten by someone in the future.
Now that the end is doomed, struggling is just a waste of time and resources.
And he is willing to say a few more words today, which can be regarded as a bit or two of his indulgence as an old man. If this son can understand and grow up, and understand the truth of self-preservation, then he may be able to save a small life in the future. Otherwise, it is the share of mermaid meat......
Zhu Changan hardly knew how he got back to his residence.
His whole body seemed to have been drained of his soul, and he only let the little servant drag him into the room.
He saw that his mother was excited, and came up and circled around him, crying, asking, and worried.
Filled with boredom, he drove away everyone, including his mother, and lay down on the bed.
His father asked him to hand over to the fifth child, but his co-ordination was still not kept. All the foundations he had laid before were in vain, and the relationships, connections, and money he had secretly wooed were gone.
The father said "ask for more blessings", that is, he will not care about him, and the implication is that he is no longer the king?
Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, he listened to the words of the Nine Emperor Uncles and took the initiative to cry out for injustice. He knew that his father, the emperor, had a way to send him down quietly, and he was not immediately sent back to the capital, which was the best result.
The emperor opened up to him, and this trip really benefited a lot.
His father was right! It's all his fault!
So he had to think about what to do next.
He thought about it, before his birthday, he still had a chance to turn the situation around. At this moment, he is clearly worse than in his dream. Is he too anxious? Where did it start wrong? Can it be compensated? ……
Zhu Changan's rights were withdrawn in this way.
Externally, it was only said that he was infected with a cold and needed to recuperate.
All the southbound powers were concentrated in the hands of the five princes.
The soldiers are bloodless, and the five princes are indeed strong enough!
Vinland thought she had won, but she didn't know that there was a bigger winner behind her!
The next morning, the fifth prince met Cheng Ziyu again.
"Sincerity has you received?" This is what the five princes said.
Cheng Ziyu didn't expect him to be so undisguised, and he was inevitably stunned. This question is not easy to answer, and if you don't get it right, you will set yourself on fire.
But the fifth prince didn't embarrass her at all, and then opened her mouth.
"Think about the feasibility of working with me. My backer will definitely only be the highest and most stable mountain! He smiled faintly.
After dissolving some of the gloom on his face, he gave people the illusion of being gentle and harmless, but he made Cheng Ziyu shudder......
Since that day, Zhu Changan has been nowhere to be seen.
The emperor didn't do anything to him, nor did he mean to put him under house arrest, but Zhu Changan closed the door and repented of himself.
King Xiaoyao is very conscientious in his reign, and he recognizes his nephew's performance at this moment. On the second day, he interviewed several princesses, and after the emperor put appropriate pressure on them, the princesses and their relatives were no longer disdainful, and no one dared to mention Zhu Changan's matter again.
That night, the Queen Mother received a thick pile of scriptures sent by Zhu Changan.
The emperor happened to be there, so he flipped through it. It is indeed Zhu Si's words. And every word is not scribbled, and every horizontal and pinch shows sincerity.
The emperor was also slightly surprised, such a thick pile, at least ten or eight hours, right?
The subordinate said that his master got up from the rooster's crow, burned incense and cleaned his hands, and began to copy the scriptures, until he put away the pen when he was a child, and slept for less than two hours except for the meal. The master is sincere, and he only hopes to use a little effort to pray for the queen mother......
The Empress Dowager smiled and didn't care.
In the next two days, it was still a reception, a view, a play, and a banquet...... Zhu Changan has never been seen. Wang Yue has been to deliver soup a few times, and she has never covered up Cheng Ziyu's questions.
She said: Zhu Changan has indeed changed a little. The whole person seems to be a lot calmer, not close to women, and has begun to eat vegetarian, such as a different person.
He even asked Wang Yue not to go to see him these days, and he wouldn't look for her at night, so he could only wronged her to sleep alone for the time being......
Although Wang Yue couldn't ask for it, he still felt strange when he heard this.
"If he can really be reborn, it will also be a blessing for you!" Cheng Ziyu sipped tea with a smile. If Zhu Changan is reborn, then her peaceful relationship with Wang Yue will come to an end......
In the past two nights, Zhu Changan will still send the Buddhist scriptures he copied all day to the Queen Mother. The cold color in the Queen Mother's eyes gradually faded a lot.
It's not that her attitude towards Zhu Changan has eased, but because of curiosity. For three days in a row, the number of Buddhist scriptures sent by Zhu Changan has only increased a lot, but in terms of quality, there is no slackness.
After all, insisting on meticulous copying scriptures for eight to ten hours a day is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure.
Cheng Ziyu also took the scripture in his hand and flipped it over, and he really didn't find someone to write it for him. Every word, every article was written by Zhu Changan.
This is not a superficial gesture. He's really hard-hearted!
Cheng Ziyu's eyebrows condensed a little, Zhu Changan and Concubine Zhao have always loved to take shortcuts, and they can't wait to swallow a fat man in one bite, but this time he is really like an initiation, he can endure boredom and loneliness, is it possible, is it really reborn?
The third day of the Zhu Changan incident was the day when the team set off for Zhenjiang. The team got on the boat again in the farewell of the people of Yangzhou.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Changan could still send a pile of thick Buddhist scriptures that night. The emperor was also amazed, he and the queen mother still did not express their position, but they couldn't help but start to guess how many days Zhu Changan could hold out like this......
