406 Entered Beijing
The little guy who led him all the way to Zhou Qingshu's study couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, what is Wu Guowei's identity, of course he doesn't know, he only knows that he is Zhou Qingshu's guest, a distinguished guest, and the housekeeper can't be offended after repeated explanations, and he must be served carefully. The little guy knocked on Zhou Qingshu's study and made a gesture of inviting Wu Guowei in, Wu Guowei didn't even look at him, crossed the threshold and walked in, the little guy bowed his head respectfully and closed the door, waiting outside.
When Zhou Qingshu heard the voice of the little maid, he had already put down the wolf pen in his hand and got up to greet Wu Guowei. Wu Guowei was just about to lean over to salute Zhou Qingshu, but he supported him, "Guowei, didn't I tell you a long time ago, they are all my own people, why be so polite." Come, sit down. Have a cup of tea, this is the big red robe that I specially ordered my subordinates to make for you, hurry up and taste it, is there any good taste in the capital? ”
Zhou Qingshu was so enthusiastic, Wu Guowei could only say: "Then Weichen is disrespectful." "Guowei, that's right, you don't have to be polite, try it." Zhou Qingshu warmly entertained him, and Wu Guowei's training at the border during this period of time was full of the temperament of a general. Zhou Qingshu likes this kind of Wu Guowei, this is the important minister of the court that he has to rely on.
After a cup of tea, Wu Guowei stood up respectfully and said: "Weichen congratulates the second prince, congratulations to the second prince, and the second prince is a big step closer to the throne." Wu Guowei, who was far away on the border, could know all the movements in the capital, and he could rush to Shaanxi in person, which was enough to move Zhou Qingshu. Zhou Qingshu put down the teacup in his hand, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, good, Guowei, this palace really didn't misunderstand you, you are worthy of the trust of this palace." ”
"The second prince can rest assured, Weichen is willing to serve you as a dog and horse, and he will not hesitate!" Saying that, Wu Guowei knelt on the ground, Zhou Qingshu squatted down and helped him get up, helped him tidy up his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Guowei, your mind is understood in this palace, the little prince born in Concubine Su has passed away, the eldest brother has passed away, and there is only one prince in this palace under the knees of his father, and the throne is within reach." In your opinion, what should Hongu do now? ”
This time, since Wu Guowei came, he discussed with him what to do next, and he was the only son of the emperor, and logically speaking, he was the rightful heir to the throne. But he was also worried that if the emperor who was far away in the capital made some trouble, and listened to Qin Su's rumors and set up a descendant of the clan as the crown prince, then all his plans would fall short, and he would make a wedding dress for others.
When Wu Guowei heard this, he subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, how could Zhou Qingshu discuss such a thing with him, and shouldn't he discuss it with the staff around him? He came here this time, just to surrender and express his approval of Zhou Qingshu's ascension to the throne. Zhou Qingshu kept staring at Wu Guowei, and it was not good for him not to answer, so he could only speak hard: "The second prince, between Wei Chen, it is better to discuss this matter with Lord Mu, Lord Mu is resourceful, knows astronomy and geography, and is definitely more thoughtful than Wei Chen." ”
Only by pushing everything to Mu Xuanzhang's head, Zhou Qingshu sighed heavily and patted the table, "It's a pity, Xuanzhang is not by the side of the palace, he is running for the palace in the capital at the moment." "Mu Xuanzhang went to the capital, then it's no wonder, Qin Su is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the emperor is very kind to her and the newborn little prince, and he will definitely send more people to protect their mother and son.
Mu Xuanzhang was able to murder the little prince under the emperor's hurried encirclement, this is really incredible, and he really wants to ask Mu Xuanzhang for advice when he has time. When he arrived at the border, he lived in the barracks for a long time, and he learned that he could not solve all problems with barbarism and fists, and that he also needed to rely on his intelligent brain.
"Oh, that's a shame." Wu Guowei sighed heavily, Zhou Qingshu stretched his brows, and shook his head disapprovingly: "Guowei, don't be presumptuous, in the heart of this palace, you are more powerful than Xuanzhang, you are a hero who can protect the family and defend the country, Xuanzhang is just a literati, and this kind of people are not lacking." What Da Yue lacks is a general like you who can go into battle to kill the enemy, the siege of the country, after the great cause of the palace is completed, you will definitely be rewarded! ”
Of course, Wu Guowei is a talent, otherwise Zhou Qingshu would not be polite to him. "Thank you, Second Prince, Wei Chen thinks that you should secretly return to Beijing at this time in case something unexpected happens in the capital." Wu Guowei took the initiative to say what he really thought in his heart, and the situation in the capital was changing rapidly, at this eventful juncture.
Instead of letting Zhou Qingshu sit and wait in Shaanxi, it is better to let him rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and maybe it can speed up the pace of his ascension to the throne. Zhou Qingshu rubbed his hands when he heard this, thought for a moment and said: "Okay, Guowei, this palace will listen to you, but if this palace encounters any trouble in the capital, it will count on you." ”
"The second prince can rest assured, Weichen will keep in touch with you at any time, and at the same time, he will also draw a strong soldier from the army to protect your safety in secret." Wu Guowei understood the meaning of his words, and took the opportunity to answer, everyone said that Shibei should be impressed for three days, and Wu Guowei in front of him gave him this feeling. In the past, when Wu Guowei was still the prince of Pingbohou, he was not so calm, and people need to constantly experience things to train themselves, which is called growth.
It is really good to have Wu Guowei send someone to protect him in secret, and he can sit back and relax all the way back to Beijing. He didn't believe that Wu Guowei would lie to him, first of all, he was the only son of the emperor at the moment, and the rightful heir to the throne of the Great Yue Kingdom. At this time, Wu Guowei faced Zhou Qingshu and obeyed him, and in the future, Zhou Qingshu would not forget his merits and reward him with his ascension to the throne.
Secondly, Zhou Qingshu has not forgotten that Wu Guowei's favorite woman is still in the capital, with Lin Dongxian in his hands, are you still afraid that Wu Guowei will not listen to him obediently? After all, Wu Guowei still couldn't hold back the thoughts of Lin Dongxian in his heart, and folded his hands: "Second prince, Weichen wants to get rid of you." ”
"Guowei, why should you be polite between you and me, just say, as long as this palace can do it." Zhou Qingshu couldn't do anything that he couldn't do, Wu Guowei suddenly had red clouds on his face, and said a little shyly: "Second prince, Weichen wants you to be the master of Weichen, and after your great cause is completed, I will marry Weichen and Lin Dongxian." He didn't believe the emperor's order, Lin Dongxian could still refuse, no matter whether Lin Dongxian gave birth to Zhou Mingmu's child or not, he must also get her.
The person he decided would never let go, and he didn't believe that Lin Dongxian had no feelings for him at all, but Zhou Mingmu met Lin Dongxian before him and married her first. Feelings don't come first, only likes and dislikes. Zhou Qingshu raised his head and laughed, "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, and this sentence is not wrong at all." Okay, this palace promises you, and the first holy decree on the first day of your accession to the throne is to give you and Lin Dongxian a marriage, and you will wait for the good news of this palace. ”
Wu Guowei was so obedient to him, if he couldn't even satisfy this little wish, wouldn't it be too much to say. In the spring and summer, she went out to investigate, and then came back and told Lin Dongxian that it was rumored outside that Lin Ruoxiu's life was in line with the deceased little prince, and the little prince took her away. Xin Xia didn't believe this kind of thing either, but it was crazy outside, and she couldn't help but not believe it.
Lin Dongxian's intuition told her that Lin Ruoxiu's death was strange, but what did it matter to her? Why meddle, but Lin Ruoxiu is dead, and the saddest thing is the Lu family. The pain that Lu Shi inflicted on her at the beginning, without her help, has already been returned. As the saying goes, the reason of heaven is clear, and the retribution is unpleasant, this is the retribution of the Lu family. In life, we should do more good deeds and accumulate more blessings for future generations.
If Xin Xia hadn't come over to tell her that Lin Ruoxiu had passed away, she would have forgotten that she was once the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and had lived there for more than ten years. During this period, she was bullied by Lin Ruoxiu, relying on the fact that her mother is now the head of the Prime Minister's house, Lu often makes it difficult for her and the grandmother around her, it is impossible for Lu to not know, she just turned a blind eye to Lin Ruoxiu.
Now that she has tasted retribution, Lin Dongxian pointed to Xin Xia's back, she immediately walked behind Lin Dongxian clearly, and reached out to gently massage her. Zhou Mingmu went to Zhou Min again to ask for an antidote to no avail, Zhou Min's purpose was very simple, if he wanted the other half of the antidote, it was completely fine, as long as Lin Dongxian could give the emperor the medicine she gave. Zhou Mingmu has been trained by Cheng Guogong since she was a child, how could she make such a big rebellion and a big crime of the nine clans.
Zhou Min and Zhou Mingmu were at a stalemate, and neither of them was willing to give in for the other. Unless Zhou Mingmu doesn't want the lives of Lin Dongxian and the child in her womb, she will definitely come to beg her again. Zhou Min showed a smug smile in her eyes, so that Zhou Mingmu took the initiative to come to her, and her tone and attitude became a little softer, which was particularly comfortable.
In the Ronghua Palace, Qin Su was dressed in white plain clothes, and she should wear bright clothes at the beginning of the new year, but she lost her son who had just been born for ten days, and the sadness in her heart can be imagined. For the sake of the child in her womb, she endured the hardships of conceiving in September, and the moment the child was born, she felt that her life was complete from then on. Nothing could make her sad anymore, and it was only a long time before happiness was fleeting, as if it would never befall her again.
The emperor has been staying by Qin Su's side every step of the way, accompanying her, hoping that she can alleviate the pain in her heart and not think nonsense. When he fell asleep at night, Qin Su always tossed and turned in pain, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Finally fell asleep under the emperor's comfort, every time he was awakened by a nightmare, he would wake up teaching the name of the little prince, as soon as the emperor raised his eyes, the two lines of crystal clear tears on Qin Su's face filled his heart with guilt, and only raising his hand for her was tears, and then coaxed her to sleep.
For seven or eight days in a row, the emperor lost a lot of weight, and the day of the first dynasty set on the third day of the first month was also postponed by the emperor's order, and many ministers in the court were panicked. Qin Su sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, and when the palace maid was not paying attention, as soon as the emperor turned his head, Qin Su didn't know when he held a pair of scissors in his hand, and cut off a handful of hair.
Putting down the handful of hair cut in his hand, he grabbed another handful of hair in his hand, as if he wanted to cut it again. The emperor couldn't help but rush over, snatched the scissors from her hand, and shouted angrily: "Su'er, what are you going to do here?" Qin Su laughed a few times, "Shengshang, Kang'er is gone, and the concubine doesn't want to live anymore, you go, let the concubine die alone!" ”
The emperor angrily threw the shoulder in Qin Su's hand, and frightened the palace maid who walked in with tea, and Qin Su actually cut her hair. The palace maid hurriedly picked up the scissors that the emperor threw on the ground, put down the tea cup in her hand and left in a hurry.
The emperor hugged Qin Su tightly, preventing her from breaking free from his embrace, "Su'er, I don't allow you to say that, Kang'er is gone, but you still have me, and I have always been by your side." Besides, if you take care of your body, Kang'er will still come back. Listen to me, don't think about it anymore. Touched her face distressedly, but Qin Su turned his head away and didn't let him touch it, the emperor's big hand hanging in the air had nowhere to put it, and he sighed faintly.
"Su'er, I really can't do anything about you, so what do you need to do now so that you don't hurt yourself?" The emperor can't stay by Qin Su's side all the time, he still has government affairs above the court, and he has been in Qin Su's Ronghua Hall for seven or eight days in a row, never leaving an inch.
Manager Chang's anxious hair turned white, I don't know how many places have come to the eight hundred miles to expedite, waiting for the emperor to deal with it, every time he just opened his mouth to the emperor, the emperor immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, signaling him not to speak. If this goes on for a long time, it will definitely not work, the emperor feels sorry for Qin Su for losing his beloved son, but the people of Li in Dayue are not the same as the emperor's people, and the emperor can't forget about being an emperor because he spoils Qin Su.
But these words, Manager Chang can only hold it in his stomach, even if he has ten heads, it is not enough for the emperor to cut off. On weekdays, the emperor has a kind attitude towards him, but once it involves his favorite Qin Su, Manager Chang does not dare to guarantee that the emperor will forgive him.
Qin Su violently pushed the emperor away, pulled off the golden hairpin on his head, and threatened his neck: "Holy Lord, the concubine body doesn't want to hear you say these words, Kang'er can't come back, and the concubine body doesn't want to live alone." If you don't want to delay your government affairs because of your concubine, go back quickly. You are still young, you can still accept more concubines into the palace, and the concubines believe that it will not be long before a concubine will give birth to an heir. ”
"Su'er, don't talk nonsense, I promised you that there will be no other concubines in the harem in this life besides you. If you say that, it really hurts my heart. The emperor tried to arouse Qin Su's concern, but Qin Su looked at the emperor a few times, and the corners of his mouth tugged at a light smile: "Holy Lord, there is no need to do this for the sake of the concubine, forget the original oath!" If you don't leave, the concubine will die in front of you immediately. ”
The golden hairpin in her hand slowly moved forward, drawing a bright red blood stain on her crystal neck, and the emperor's heart was pounding, for fear that she would do something mad and hurt herself.
