Chapter 557: The Situation in Beijing
"Uncle, then I'm leaving. When I am admitted to the Jinshi, I will go to the Du family in Fucheng with you. Du Jinning arched his hand towards Du Yinsheng.
Du Yinsheng's eyes lit up, and he said with relief: "Okay, I'll wait." ”
Although he no longer has the same obsession with whether to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Du Jinning can be admitted to Jinshi, and he is also happy to take her back to show off to the Du family of that branch.
When Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan walked out of the village and got on the horse, several nursing homes also came back, and everyone got on the horse together; At this time, Zhang Hongwen also came on his mule, and everyone went out of the village together and went to the county seat.
When I arrived at the entrance of the city, I saw a white flag hanging on the city wall from a distance, which was a sign of national mourning. Du Jinning slowed down the horse's speed and asked Qi Muyuan, "Do you want to go back and rest first?" I'll just go to the academy alone. ”
Qi Muyuan was worried about his relatives in Jingli, and he also remembered whether the family had entrusted him with a letter, and he really had no intention of socializing at this time.
He nodded and said, "It's fine." ”
After entering the city, everyone divided into two ways, Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen took two Du family's nursing homes to the academy, and Qi Muyuan took his family's nursing home back to Qi Mansion.
In Boyue Academy, Du Jinning's closest person is Guan Lehe, followed by Huang Chengming. Guan Lehe went to the capital, and Du Jinning entered the academy to visit Huang Chengming first, give gifts, and then went to see the chief of Xinshan and other gentlemen.
The emperor is newly mourned, and everyone can't smile when they meet, and they can't say congratulations or anything like that. Although everyone was very happy to see that Du Jinning had been lifted and was still Xie Yuan, they were not easy to show it, so they only asked each other about the current situation. So Du Jinning sat down with them for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
Back to Qi Mansion and after lunch, Du Jinning and the others went back to Fu City. Zhang Hongwen left with him. Of course, instead of riding his mule, he rode a horse from Qi Province.
Qi Muyuan was anxious to inquire about the news in Beijing, and went home directly after entering the city, and Du Jinning took Zhang Hongwen home.
Chen was very happy to see Zhang Hongwen. After all, she has lived in Peach Blossom Village for more than ten years, and she still has a good understanding of the people and things there. Zhang Hongwen came over, just in time to talk about the things in Peach Blossom Village, which can be regarded as relieving boredom.
After settling Zhang Hongwen, Du Jinning went to Qi Mansion.
"How's it going? Is there a letter from Beijing? Du Jinning asked.
Qi Muyuan shook his head.
"There should be a letter soon." Du Jinning comforted him.
This era is not like modern times, where you can directly make a phone call to inform people thousands of miles away. Now, even if there is any major incident, he can only quickly send people to run down one post station after another. Therefore, it will take at least three to five days for the news of the emperor's death to reach Lishui County. The country cannot be without a king for a day, the old emperor dies, and a new emperor must take his place.
The news confirmed that Qi Bokun sent someone to deliver the letter from the capital, and it was only five or six days. It stands to reason that when they come back, they should be able to receive the news from the Qi family from Beijing.
But now there is no letter. In this case, either the situation in Beijing and China is still unstable, or it is ...... Qi Bokun and the others had a problem in Beijing, and there was no way to send a letter to Qi Muyuan.
Qi Muyuan has always been calm, but at this moment, he was restless. As soon as he sat down, he stood up again, looked in the direction of the gate, and said anxiously, "I hope." ”
"Did you send someone to the capital?" Du Jinning asked.
"Sent. As soon as I came back, I asked Ma Biao to go to the capital. Qi Mu said from afar.
There was no letter from Jingli, so he couldn't sit here and wait stupidly, so he had to send someone back to Beijing to investigate.
Du Jinning nodded and stopped talking. But she was not idle, she took Qi Muyuan's household goods to make tea, took water to light the fire, and began to boil tea.
After boiling the tea, she handed a cup to Qi Muyuan. Qi Muyuan smelled the fragrance of tea, and his anxious heart calmed down a little. But after drinking a cup of tea, he became anxious again and said, "If no one comes, it will be dark." ”
When it was dark, the gates were closed. Even if Jingzhong sent someone to enter the city, he could only wait until tomorrow.
But if he didn't get news of his relatives at home, how could he sleep peacefully?
Du Jinning turned his head to Aoki and said, "You go home and tell your wife that I won't go back tonight, and I'll accompany Qi Muyuan here." Young Master Zhang, if you explain it to him well, just say that Young Master Qi is in an upset mood and can't entertain him properly. When the news of the Qi family comes tomorrow, I will accompany him to take a good walk around Fucheng. ”
"Yes." Aoki responded.
"You go to Xu's house again and call your eldest aunt to accompany Zhang Hongwen." Du Jinning advised again.
Seeing that she had no other orders, Aoki turned around and left.
When Qi Muyuan heard that Du Jinning was here to accompany him, his heart warmed slightly, and he said softly: "Thank you." ”
Du Jinning smiled at him: "What kind of friendship do we have?" Like a brother, say thank you. ”
Qi Muyuan's throat slid slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"Young, young master, young master, someone from Beijing." A doorkeeper ran in as if he were excited.
Qi Muyuan stood up with a "pout", pulled his legs and ran towards the door, almost colliding with a black-faced man who was in the dust.
"Villain Cheng Xing, please say hello to the eldest young master." The black-faced man hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Qi Muyuan grabbed his arm: "Don't talk nonsense." How is Kyochu? What about my grandfather and my parents? ”
"Okay, the old lady, the old man, the old lady, the little master, and the little master are all well." Cheng Xing also knew what Qi Muyuan was worried about, so he told the most critical news first.
Sure enough, Qi Muyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "That's good, that's good." And he said, "Get up first, sit down and talk." ”
Cheng Xing got up from the ground, walked to the bottom and sat next to the edge of the stool, and said: "The emperor died, the eldest prince and the second prince's personal soldiers fought, and there was chaos in Beijing. The second prince died, the eldest prince stabilized the situation, and the enthronement ceremony will be held soon. ”
Although Cheng Xing said only a few words, he could imagine how chaotic the capital was at that time.
Du Jinning asked, "But many people died?" ”
Cheng Xing shook his head: "Fortunately, the two palaces are fighting, and they have not affected others." But ......"
He paused, not going on.
But Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning heard the meaning of his words.
At that time, there were not many people killed in the fight, but when the eldest prince ascended the throne, he was afraid that he would have to purge the people under the second prince, and some more people would have to die when the time came.
Du Jinning wanted to ask the eldest prince how he was, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.
Although Qi Bokun is a politician, he also has a bottom line as a man. Thinking that the eldest prince he is willing to assist is not the kind of person who likes to kill. Moreover, no matter what the eldest prince is, it is a foregone conclusion that he will ascend the throne as emperor. What's the use of her asking? It is not good to let Qi Muyuan talk about the new emperor for no reason.
