Chapter Ninety-Five: Dust
Three days later, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to kneel down in the farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing to welcome the Emperor Taishang back to the palace, and Zhu Qizhen was surrounded and climbed up to the Kowloon Imperial Palace, looking at the villagers prostrate at his feet, looking at the magnificent and bright yellow dazzling royal honor guard, as if he was in another world.
Before leaving, Qian secretly stuffed Wen Wan with 3,000 taels of silver and two land deeds, and after bowing to her cautiously, he took the hand of the eldest maid Qingyuan and got into another simple carriage into the palace, and started her court years of deceit again.
After the person walked away, Wen Wan looked at the hot potato in her hand for a long time, and finally pursed her lips and put it in her arms, and hummed a song without changing her face to make brown sugar steamed bun brown rice porridge for her child to eat.
When the Emperor Taishang's guard of honor arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Jingtai was standing on the high place of the city tower with his hands to admire his splendid rivers and mountains. Liu Fu, the chief eunuch behind him, stood silently with a whisk on the side.
It wasn't until the two little eunuchs beside him pulled his sleeves with a sad face and urged him again and again that he sighed in his heart and cautiously stepped forward and bent down to his master: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang has arrived at the city gate, you see?" ”
Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly and looked back at his groveling old minion: "The brave man knows righteousness, and the wise man must be benevolent." Liu Fu, do you think this country is considered me? ”
Liu Fu's eyes were red, sitting in that high and cold seat, no matter how bitter he was, he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood: "Your Majesty, it's time to welcome the emperor." ”
It's useless to intercept and kill, so you have to greet each other with a smile.
Zhu Qiyu turned around with hatred, suddenly kicked the old eunuch's waist, and laughed mockingly: "I know! If you don't go, you are narrow-minded, your brothers are not in harmony, and you can't even sit on the dragon chair that is lifted up. ”
"Damn it! Damn the minions! Liu Fu just lay humbly, letting the muddy tears flow into the dust.
After a while, the man with his muscles was relieved of his fist, and said calmly: "Let's go, I will meet him." ”
Liu Fu limped behind him and choked up without saying a word, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the sky of Beijing City can not change anymore.
"Brother Huang, you have suffered! I only picked you up to Beijing now, it's useless for my younger brother. Zhu Qiyu pulled the skinny hands of the Emperor Taishang and burst into tears. didn't let people die in Shanxi and sneaked into Beijing, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Zhu Qizhen's eyes were red, and he hugged his younger brother's head and cried hoarsely: "Qi Yu, how can I blame you? It's just that those young people hide behind their backs and secretly kill them, and they have been delayed for their brother so far. Don't worry, the wicked have their own harvest, and I will wait to see if they will die well. ”
He can't beat people to death, he has to kill people.
Zhu Qiyu's hands tightened, and he hung his head more and more and hugged him, and the imperial brother cried bitterly: "Imperial brother, you have lost weight!" It's been a tough year, right? As long as the younger brother thought of the suffering of the imperial brother, his heart was restless day and night, and he could not even swallow the abalone fin belly and delicacies on the table. ”
are all captured and fighting the autumn wind everywhere, why not hit your head and die? Even come back and laugh generously! It's so bad that he is not in the mood to eat six snacks a day!
The civil and military ministers outside the Xuanwu Gate trembled and knelt in the ice and snow for half an hour, seeing that their brothers were still hugging their heads and crying, and they couldn't stand it. I had to shout excitedly: "The emperor is benevolent and elegant, and the emperor has deep brotherhood." Such a mind, such a righteousness, the ministers are obedient! ”
Two brothers of the Zhu family: ..... Sure enough, the masses are blind!
At this time, the Qian family helped the green mandarin duck get down from the dusty carriage, Ying Ying knelt in front of the Zhu brothers in two steps, lowered her eyes and cried: "The concubines see the emperor, see the emperor." Say goodbye to the Spring and Autumn Period, everything is okay with the Emperor? ”
Taking advantage of this gap, the Zhu family brothers who were holding awkwardly each quickly took a step back to hide the disgust in their eyes. Zhu Qizhen turned his head and wiped his tears, gently picked her up, gently combed the hair in her ear and said, "Thank you, everything is fine." I heard that you have been out of the palace for many days to chant and pray for me, and I have worked hard for you. ”
Qian lowered his head and covered his lips as a shy: "It is the honor of the concubine to share your worries, but fortunately, you have returned safely." It's the emperor, since you left Beijing, he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, he is the one who misses you the most and looks forward to your return to Beijing. Even the concubines looked at it and burst into tears. ”
Zhu Qizhen squeezed her hand with a touched face: "I know." ”
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel disgusted when he looked at the couple who were pretentious, and he didn't have the heart to entangle at the moment, so he only lowered his eyes and sneered: "The royal brother and sister-in-law are really a perfect match, unparalleled in the world." It's not too early, so go back to the palace early and ask the queen mother to go. ”
Zhu Qizhen's pupils shrank sharply, and he was about to rush over when he took a step, but he was stopped by the Qian family so that he didn't lose his temper. Queen mother? She deserves it too!
When Zhu Qiyu saw his expression, how could he not know that he had poked someone's sore feet? At the moment, he was happy in his heart, and patted his brother on the shoulder with a smile and said, "When you go back to the palace, if you are not used to living or the servants are not well served, just tell your younger brother." ”
Qian dragged Zhu Qizhen's eyebrows and eyes cold, and only said dryly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Since they dare to return to the palace, they can endure it. If you can't bear it, you have to endure it! They had no way out, and as soon as they retreated, they collapsed.
The next day, Zhu Qiyu went down to the morning court, frowned, opened the chapter and hastily approved two strokes, and finally couldn't help but hate and poured two sips of herbal tea, and stretched out his hand to summon Liu Fu: "From now on, the Emperor Taishang will be placed under house arrest in the Nangong, and all the doors and windows of the main hall of the Nangong and the East and West Side Hall will be sealed, and all the food and drink will be transported by you personally." No one is allowed to visit without my will, including the Qian family. ”
Liu Fu was stunned and bowed down.
When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhu Qiyu: "Wait, cut down all the trees near Nangong, and the copper lock on the gate of Nangong is filled with lead." ”
Liu Fu couldn't help smacking his tongue and hurriedly retreated.
Even if he wants to live as an eyesore, he doesn't care about fulfilling him. Just don't think about living comfortably while getting in the way of his eyes. He wants to see if this throne that he has been ordered to sit firmly on!
However, in three days, the South Palace, where the Emperor Taishang lived, became a forbidden place in the entire palace. Even the Emperor Taishang's original wife, Qian, was also secluded in a side hall of Qianxi Palace, and he couldn't go out easily if he had nothing to do.
"Qingyuan, you said he might survive this long time?" Qian squatted in the courtyard and focused on making the coal stove, and a suppressed cough overflowed from his lips.
Qingyuan took two breaths of hot air into her red hand, and then put the broom to pick her up: "Niangniang, if you want to cough, cough, it is not beneficial to your body, and you shouldn't take off the eiderdown suit." ”
Qian gently pushed her away: "I'm here, I have to learn to do it." ”
No matter how hard the woman was, why couldn't she? There are only a few pieces of carbon left and right, and there are a few less girls who are stealing and cheating.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Qingyuan didn't stop her, but only took out the ginger brown sugar cube that Wen Wan handed her before leaving, put it in the teapot and melted it, poured a bowl full of it and stuffed it into her master's hand: "Warm up, don't be too emperor to survive you didn't survive." ”
Qian lowered his head and tasted it, spicy and warm his stomach, and his hands and feet were hot: "She gave it again?" ”
The green mandarin duck nodded.
Qian smiled helplessly, snow boots, duck down sweater, meat sandwich buns that can be stored for three months, and now it is this ginger brown sugar water, the shrewd and meticulous woman is really pervasive.
She owes the woman no more......
