Chapter Twenty-Six: The Clouds of the Parties
The emperor was killed, no matter what the outcome was, and there was always a bloody outbreak.
King Rui did not return to his mansion, but stayed in the deep palace. Why? One is filial piety, the other is seeking a position, the temptation of sitting on the world ordinary people can not bear it, but they can't be in a hurry. King Rui told himself that he couldn't be in a hurry, there was no news from the concubine's side, and there was a King Li eyeing him, King Rui had already finalized his opponent, not the abolished prince Duanhui, nor King He, of course, in his eyes, all his brothers were not worthy of being his opponents, and he barely needed to deal with King Li, but he was friendly with Yu Zhao, the commander of the 30,000 army in charge of Gyeonggi's defense.
Of course, King Rui himself is not bad, he is smart, the most taboo thing for the emperor is the collusion of his subordinates, it is still taboo for the prince, he does not show it on his face, he has already secretly won over General Zhenbei, his eldest daughter will marry the eldest son of General Zhenbei, and marry Qin and Jin.
King Rui played with the Nine Dragons Cup rewarded by the emperor, the candle flame seemed to be filled with mist, he was in a hazy sea of clouds, the corners of his mouth were smiling, his eyes were as cold as snakes, which was particularly frightening, and there was only one serving attendant by his side.
"You go and check, who is the little girl who blocked the sword for the emperor tonight, she was seriously injured, did she wake up?" King Rui licked the corners of his lips impatiently, his eyes were like wolves and tigers, he was young, and he was most like her when he was frowning......
It's really like it!
In another five years...... I don't know how graceful it is...... It can't be left into the hands of anyone else.
As for King Li, he stayed in his dormitory back then, but he quietly found his chamberlain to change his clothes and sneaked to Concubine De.
"Mother, what are you tonight?"
"Emperor, you are not young, you should calm down. Concubine De changed out of her formal clothes and picked up the wide sleeves of dark green makeup and satin to wear, she looked more and more weak, and the color was delicate, she was originally the youngest of the four concubines.
"Mother, you are a usurper!" King Li did not lose his mind in the end, and lowered his voice and said, the hall was empty, and he had already been sent down.
"So what?" Concubine De raised her eyebrows, took a self-portrait in the mirror, and drew a flower in the center of her eyebrows, "Emperor, who in this palace doesn't want that seat? "The tone is gentle like a feather, which makes people relax, but King Li doesn't dare to relax!" "Don't worry, everything is arranged for the concubine, it's just a coincidence, and it can only be a coincidence." Concubine De suddenly laughed charmingly and weirdly.
She is tired of the days of bending down and saluting people every day, and she just wants to be a master when she enters the palace!
"Emperor, you should be in front of your father's bed tonight. Concubine De had a good face, and said softly with a straight face, extremely contradictory and extremely harmonious.
Who in the deep palace is not full of contradictions? Who is not acting with a mask?
It's been a long time, and I've forgotten what it was like.
King Li could only retreat, and a sense of pride and ambition suddenly surged in his heart, his steps were like flying, and his back was straight......
If I am king, all the heavens will be my servants.
At dawn in the early hours of the morning, the palace suddenly became lively.
The queen traveled in formal clothes, but ordered Green Sprout to protect Dongyang and Tang Yue, and set up the queen's guard of honor to leave.
Dongyang's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he led the maid to find Tang Yue.
Pushing open the door and seeing Tang Yue leaning on the light and playing chess, Dongyang was stunned, twisted his eyebrows and looked at her with blue and black eyes, and his words showed displeasure, "You haven't slept all night?"
"Didn't you also sleep all night?" Tang Yue said lightly, his eyebrows showing the color of struggle.
"Can it be the same? I'm fine, but you're an injured patient! The doctor told you that you need to rest well!" Dongyang is honest by nature, and Tang Yue is her rare friend, so naturally she has something to say.
The same is true for Tang Yue.
There wasn't much between her and Dongyang.
Pulling the corners of his mouth with difficulty, his eyes signaled to Dongyang, Dongyang understood, and waved his hand to signal the maid to retreat.
"Ah Yue......" Dongyang sat on the other side of the chessboard, his brows were about to twist.
Tang Yue smiled bitterly, raised his eyelids, and breathed a little shorter, "Who has moved?"
Dongyang looked at her in surprise and said, "How do you know?"
Tang Yue's eyebrows furrowed, he couldn't help lying on the couch, and calmed down for a while before he said with difficulty, "Otherwise, how could you look like this?"
Dongyang was distressed for a while, and also lay down.
"King Li has a move tonight, King Rui is eyeing him, Concubine Shu and Concubine De have been immersed in the deep palace for several years, and there are countless people under him, my father is far away in the Yellow River, how can he ......"
"It's safe to come back, but in case the emperor's grandfather ......"
"If something happens in this palace, the world will change hands. ”
Dongyang really didn't know what to do this time, he got a few messages, and he barely guessed a few points and hurried over when he seized the opportunity.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Concubine De is arrogant, King Li is anxious, there will definitely be actions in the next few days, King Rui is calm and cunning, the emperor is only slightly injured, the queen mother has passed, and now the direction is not something we can decide. ”
"Actually, it's good to be an idle prince...... "In the end, it is inevitable that there will be regrets, Tang Yue is just talking nonsense with his eyes open.
The winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, this principle has been the case since ancient times, becoming above one person, and losing and burying deep in the soil.
Gee
Tang Yue smiled bitterly, his eyes were clear.
She knew that according to the trajectory of her previous life, today was the turning point of King Rui.
Concubine De murdered the emperor, King Li forced the palace, King Rui desperately protected, after that, he didn't need to calculate, the emperor was far less old than five years ago, the country needed a new emperor, and King Rui became the last candidate.
The former crown prince, defeated.
The wind outside the door blew the window and beat the bell under the verandah, a scattered and sharp bell sounded to remember, which made people upset, the incense burner in the room was intermittent and intermittent, it seemed to be an exhausted old man, panting and squeaking, the candle flame on the lampstand jumped open, crackling and small sounds continued, the charcoal basin in the corner of the wall bounced a few times and finally stopped sounding, and the fiery red glamor was drowned in the gray.
The Langya Wang clan welcomed a special guest at sunrise today.
Especially to the patriarch of the Wang clan to greet him personally.
The patriarch who knew the destiny of heaven wore a Lan shirt, a daisy cloak, and tied his hair with brocade on his head, and personally went out to the side door to greet him.
On this day, there was no one on the street, all of them were the servants of the Langya Wang's family, but all the young maids were green wrapped in velvet jackets, combed double buns and wore cyan ribbons, the little maids wore gray short cotton clothes, black ribbons tied their hair, and hung their heads on standby, and the mother-in-law and servants combed the women's hair buns and wore dark green skirts, and the housekeepers wore dark gray robes, and they were in good spirits.
King Hui entered the door in a simple black cloak.
The patriarch of the Wang clan led King Hui all the way into the door, through the weeping flower gate, and the verandah went straight into the ancestral hall, and after the patriarch of the Wang clan opened the ancestral hall to worship, he transferred to the study of the patriarch of the Wang clan.
Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.
Cui Yan brought a group of more than 20 people, including the maid and the mother-in-law, to visit the Tang family and sent them back to Yangliu by the way.
When Yang Liu entered the mansion, he learned the news that Banxia was locked up in the firewood room, and went to meet Tang's mother.
"Old lady, dare to ask what Banxia did to provoke the old lady?" Yang Liu knelt on the ground respectfully, and the cashmere blossom splendid carpet made inside was baked by the earth dragon to warm it, but Yang Liu seemed to be walking on the wind, snow and thorns, careful step by step, and very cautious.
The old lady drank tea lightly, there was no willow in her eyes, the incense burner was allowed to burn, and the light lotus mist in the room was thick.
Tang Zhu next to him said with a disdainful face, "Banxia stealing the master's property is not enough for two days, you can't hold your breath? You are just a girl, even if your master comes back, you should have an explanation to the eldest sister!"
Yang Liu hurriedly kowtowed three times in a row and said, "It's the slave who is wrong, the slave is wrong, and he failed to manage the girl's yard, so I beg the old lady and the eldest girl to forgive, and the slave will definitely be guilty, restrain the subordinates, and implore the old lady and the eldest girl to be punished." ”
Tang Zhen smiled lightly and stroked the shrimp bracelet on his wrist and said, "Hurry up, our family is kind to the subordinates, and the ancestor is a bodhisattva, you ...... this time He was fined three months of silver, and then he was restrained. "The housekeeper didn't have long since then, but he had the style of a lady in charge.
"Yes. The slave and maid obey the teachings of the eldest girl and the old lady. Yang Liu kowtowed again, got Tang Zhen nodded and left the house backwards.
Cui Shi led the pillow according to the embroidered ink, drank the ginseng soup, and quietly waited for Yang Liu to reply, and saw Yang Liu holding his breath and entering the door, raising his eyelids weakly, and waving his hand to remove the maid who was waiting.
"Come here. Cui's voice was ethereal and intermittent, weak like a cigarette that burned and stopped.
Yang Liu stepped forward and knelt at the head of Cui's bed.
Cui Shi struggled to get up, his eyes suddenly like stars, "You remember, I don't have many days to live, but the young master and young ladies are not just from the Tang Mansion! If there is anything in the Tang family that is not worthy of the young master and young lady, you can write to the old lady and tell them that I was born in the Cui family, although I am a concubine, I have been deeply taught by my mother, and I think that my younger brother has no heirs, and I am willing to pass my knee to my younger brother's knees." In the mezzanine on the second floor of the dresser, I wrote it, and you can take it to your grandmother. ”
"Madam!" Yang Liu was extremely surprised, tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes, and his fingers pinched into the soft flesh, leaving mottled moon-white traces.
"Your grandmother is my grandmother, and your family is very close to me," Cui smiled kindly, reaching out and patting Yang Liu's hand. "Originally, your mother was the nurse I chose for the Yue girl, but the old woman had to change people by rubbing shoulders with one hand, but fortunately, the Yue girl and you are both angry, and you have been wronged in the past five years. ”
"I have a set of jade head here, but it is very flattering to you, I may not see you married, so it will be counted as the makeup I prepared in advance, as for Banxia, I also prepared a set of pearls for her, you take it back. Cui Shi rubbed his palm and said, his eyebrows were shallow in life and death.
"If I go early, I will definitely be tired of the young masters and young ladies to keep filial piety, but fortunately, I just had a meeting this year, and Hu'er has a good reputation for being a showman, as for the future, I want you to support each other to go on. ”
Cui Shi said these words calmly, and when Yang Liu left, he called the very trusted grandmother around him, surnamed Zhou, who was the son of the Cui family.
"Mama, I have a dowry list here, and I hope Mama will collect it. Although the dowry list has always been in triplicate, one part is hidden in the hands of my parents, one part is in my place, and the other is in the official uniform file, but there is nothing else in this house, but there are a lot of privacy calculations! I am afraid that the children will have nothing to do after I go, so today I will copy this list and hand it over to my grandmother for safekeeping, and if I make any mistakes in the future, please protect my little girl!"
Cui Shi burst into tears, his chest continued to rise and fall due to excessive fluctuations in lust, and a little red glow appeared on his pale face.
Mama Zhou also reddened her eyes and said, "The girl has been in good health since she was a child, and now she ...... Girl, please rest assured, Young Master Yan and they have already invited a famous miracle doctor to come, and when they arrive in Beijing in a few days, the girl will be cured of this disease. "I still took Cui's order.
Whatever it is, it's always right to be prepared with both hands.
Cui Shi smiled bitterly, but he was also tenacious, "No matter whether you can survive or not, this mansion is full of filth and filth! I don't want to drag my son down one day!"
"Please also ask Mama to find the crane top red for me. Cui's tenacious eyes made Mama Zhou's heart tremble.
I couldn't hold back and agreed, and I didn't know what to do with such a poisonous thing.
However, after decades of wandering in the backyard, Mama Zhou knew the usefulness in a blink of an eye.
The girl is worried that he will not die, and he will be a demon after all!
What a mother's heart!
