189 The "Imperial Infirmary" dissects the truth
Dang, dang, dang----, crisp gong suddenly exploded. The palace soon became intoxicated with the dim yellow of a large paraffin, and the patrolman outside the courtyard wall rang the gong and shouted with all his might: "It's cold and dry, be careful of the candles." It's cold and dry. Be careful----
Listening to the sound of gongs and the shouts of the husband, Lin Yushi, who was playing chess with the concubine Li Yunlong, turned to the little girl who was whispering to the two princesses and said: Yuan'er, it is going to be completely dark outside. It's time for us to say goodbye and go home!
Lin Xiaoyuan was so shocked that she immediately raised her eyes and looked outside the hall, then stood up and said with a shy face: "Two princesses, let's just talk about the past and the future with you." If you don't pay attention, it's night, I'm really embarrassed!
Wang Jinhua, the princess of Zhongyi, and Yong Leping, the eldest princess of the East Palace, stretched out their hands to hold her hand as if they had made an appointment, shook their heads and said in unison: Sister Xiaoyuan, if you say this, you will see the outside. We haven't seen you in a few days, so I can't wait to talk to you for a while!
Although, Wang Yuanwai rode a horse for three consecutive days and traveled a long way, and his body was extremely tired. However, he still stretched out his hand and held Lin Yushi's hands tightly, and said sincerely: Lord Yushi, Brother Wan committed the unforgivable sin of not being able to resist the request of his brother-in-law Ning Feihu and went to another world. After we say goodbye tomorrow morning, I don't know when we will see each other again? Tonight, you might as well stay here a little longer!
Li Yunlong, the concubine, got up and poured three cups of "Longjing tea" and handed them to him and Yushi's father and daughter, and at the same time said busily: Sister Xiaoyuan, our father-in-law and the two princesses said what I wanted to say. Night has just fallen, and you and Lord Yushi will accompany our father-in-law and talk to us for a while. I will instruct Guard Yang to send you both back to your respective mansions safely!"
Lin Yushi and Lin Xiaoyuan took a few sips of "Longjing Tea", and then humbly put it on the carved Eight Immortals table and said: The kindness of the concubine and the two princesses, our father and daughter have been bothered for a long time. Now it's time for us to say goodbye!
As they spoke, the two of them held hands and turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall and said: Here, we sincerely say "Thank you very much for your warm treatment". I also look forward to visiting the Imperial History Mansion if you have time!
Seeing this, the concubine Li Yunlong and the two princesses stood up together and said: Lord Yushi, Sister Xiaoyuan, since you two insist on going back to the house here. Then let's send you!
As soon as the words of the three landed, Lin Yushi and Lin Xiaoyuan hurriedly waved their hands and said: "Concubine, two princesses, we will hire a carriage to go home." Go and rest, all of you!
As soon as Li Yunlong heard this, he turned to Wang Yuanwai, Wang Jinhua, and Yong Leping and said with a reverent face: "Father-in-law, you and the two of you go back to the bedroom to rest first." I'll go to Guard Yang to send Yushi's father and daughter back to the house!
As he spoke, he strode to the door of the hall and shouted: Guard Yang, go to the backyard to lead the carriage.
Immediately after, there was a respectful reply from the Yang guards in the front yard: Master Ma, obey your orders.
Next, the concubine Li Yunlong accompanied Lin Yushi's father and daughter to the outside of the front yard mansion. Guard Yang also arrived with a silver-white horse, and the horse could no longer care about the carriage with a green leather canopy behind him. Just lowered his head and "snorted, snorted" to lick the dead grass on the side of the street!
Helping the two guests to board the carriage and get into the green leather tent, he did not forget to advise: Lord Yushi, remember to bring Sister Xiaoyuan to the mansion as a guest when you have time. The two princesses and I look forward to chatting with you all the time!
Speaking of this, the concubine Li Yunlong turned to Yang Guard and said in a solemn tone: Yang Guard, the road is a little blurry when night falls. You'll have to keep your eyes open and look at the road carefully, and at the same time drive your horse carefully!
These words stimulated Lin Yushi's father and daughter to say gratefully: "Don't get in the way if the sky is not completely dark. You have something to do tomorrow, so go back and rest!
Hearing this, Yang Guard grabbed the reins of the silver-white horse, stepped on the pedals, and leaped up and straddled its muscular back. His eyes widened and he looked at the road ahead, raised his whip and gently pumped at its ass and shouted: Drive, drive, horses don't be greedy. Let's go!
Immediately, the silver-white horse raised its head and looked ahead. The four hooves flew up and down steadily, and behind them there was a series of "click, click" sounds, and the "creaking" sound of the carriage crashing against the road!
It wasn't until he couldn't see the Yang guards, the horses, and the carriage completely that Li Yunlong, the horse, turned around and said to the young man guarding the door: "Guards, go to the backyard and call the four sedan chair drivers to come here and wait for the official sedan chair." I'm going to go to the palace to do something in a while!
After speaking, he strode into the master bedroom of the east wing of the middle courtyard. At a glance, I saw the two princesses sitting at the desk with their heads together and whispering!
The bizarre scene in front of him made Li Yunlong very puzzled and said: Sister Jinhua, Sister Leping, you two washed up and went to sleep immediately after dinner. Why are you staying here today, whispering?
When the two princesses heard this, their bodies suddenly stirred, and then they raised their heads and whispered: "Horse, we are speculating about what will happen to the queen mother in the future." Because she was afraid that it would be detrimental to her to be heard by her subordinates and spread to her father's ears, she specially lowered her voice! You don't knock on the bedroom door before you come in, and you hear someone talking. We thought that someone was eavesdropping, but we were so scared that our hearts were beating wildly!
Li Yunlong, the concubine, turned around and plugged in the door bolt, walked to the two of them and sat down and said with a smile: "Two princesses, you two are worried about what kind of life the queen mother will have in the future. But I forgot to plug in the deadbolt of the door! When I reached for the wooden door, it creaked out of the frame. I walked in as soon as I saw it, and you two don't have any reason to blame me!
Yong Leping, the eldest princess of the East Palace, punched him violently, and said with an angry face: "Horse, the queen mother and the two uncles have committed a few big things, which has caused the father and emperor to be "angry". The two uncles have been severely punished by the law of the country a few days ago, and I don't know how the father will punish the queen mother? Things have reached the point of "burning eyebrows", and you are still in the mood to joke. It's really a "lack of roots"!
Princess Zhongyi Wang Jinhua took his hand and said in an eager tone: "Don Ma, Sister Leping just told me that the queen mother committed the act of framing the former queen eighteen years ago. She also said that knowing that such an act was an unforgivable capital offense for the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs. Although, the day before yesterday, the father promised that we could forgive the mother's sins and forgive her capital crimes. But she also knew that her father was the king of a country, and he had to do everything in his power to maintain his dignity in front of his ministers. She is now worried about her mother!
As soon as her words landed, the concubine Li Yunlong hugged the eldest princess of the East Palace into his arms and said bitterly: Leping, we have already come up with a plan to reduce the responsibility of the queen mother. You don't have to worry about her anymore!
Hearing this, the two princesses stared at him with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Horse, what are you talking about?" How is that possible? Aren't you trying to comfort us and make up a white lie?
However, they saw that their man said with a solemn face: "Two princesses, every word I say now is serious. At this time, I will go to the "imperial study" to see my father and talk about things. You two should go to bed tonight!
The words popped out, and the two princesses were full of surprise: "Horse, can you tell us first?" What about this plan that would alleviate the mother's guilt?
When Li Yunlong heard this, he shook his head and said: "Two princesses, you two are daughters. It is really not appropriate to ask about the major affairs of the DPRK and China! Now, the husband can only tell you. If the father adopts this plan, the mother's guilt will be reduced by half!
As he spoke, he stood up, turned and strode out. A moment later, the feet in leather boots stepped on the bluestone slab with a "clang, clang". And it faded away, and soon it disappeared completely!
Princess Wang Jinhua of Zhongyi and the eldest princess of the East Palace couldn't help but glance at each other, then rushed to the bedroom door and looked at the dark sky and said in unison: God, you must be able to see the person who walked away. Bless him as he wishes!
However, it was impossible for them to know: just now, Lin Yushi was invited by the concubine Li Yunlong to come to the house as a guest. As today's emperor, Emperor Yongxi drew up a holy decree and ordered the chief eunuch Li Gonggong to take it out of the palace and quickly announce Liang Shangshu and Yu Cheng into the palace!
Seeing the two of them, he said straight to the point: Two Aiqing, I listened to slander eighteen years ago and sent my wife who accompanied me to the cold palace and suffered all the demons. Now, the two unscrupulous rebel brothers Hua have "died". I have the intention to abolish the title of the Chinese slut and re-establish Wang Shuyun as the head of the harem, and I am afraid that their subordinates will bring bloody rain to the people of the capital when they learn the news! At the moment, I am so uncertain that I can't come up with a reason to deal with the generals of the southwestern border. I can only bother you two again!
Hearing this, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu said in unison: Back to the emperor, we spent half a day thinking about this matter together after retiring from the court this morning. Now we have figured out a feasible plan!
As soon as their words landed, Emperor Yongxi cried with joy and shouted: "Two Aiqing, you two can actually guess what I am thinking. It's worthy that I have always regarded you two as my "right-hand men"!
When Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu heard this, they lifted the hem of their official robes and knelt on the ground in front of him and said respectfully: Your Majesty, we are flattered by your awards. The strategy that you came up with in a hurry may only be of great use for your reference!
In ordinary days, Emperor Yongxi has always respected the ministers who assisted him in laying down the country. In private, I am willing to get along with them "on an equal footing"!
With the explosion of "poof", there were two more kneeling people in front of him. He was so busy that he bent down and stretched out his hand to pull them up, forcibly sat on Huang Cancan's carved chair, and said anxiously: Two Aiqing, there are no other officials here. The chief eunuch, Gonggong Li, is not an outsider, and you two don't need those cumbersome courtesies to me in front of him. Just sit back and talk!
Next, the two of them cooperated tacitly to talk about the strategy to deal with the two generals of Hua in the southwest border. Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but leave his seat with his hands folded in front of his chest and paced with his eyebrows, and after a while, he glanced at the sky outside and said: Two Aiqing, I am already hungry in my belly. You two will go to the dining room in the palace with me first, and then discuss what happened when you have your stomach!
At this moment, the three of them had finished dinner and returned to the "imperial study". The chief eunuch Li Gonggong carried the "Tieguanyin Tea" that had been brewed a long time ago, poured three cups and put them in front of them, and walked to the door with small steps to continue to play the role of "looking at the wind"!
Emperor Yongxi picked up the teacup in front of him, took a few sips and said, "Two Aiqing, I thought carefully about your plan when I was dining just now. I think it can be described as "Sun Moon Lake Water" as touching and heartfelt! Therefore, I think that the subordinates of the two rebel ministers in the southwestern frontier will definitely not be suspicious when they hear this. Just to lobby these generals with martial arts can not tolerate the slightest timidity, it must definitely be a brave and resourceful master, and has always been loyal to me. I wonder if you two have a choice in mind?
Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu, who were full of Lin Yushi's request in their hearts, deliberately yawned and said mechanically: Your Majesty, we want to go to the southwest border in person to lobby the subordinates of the two Hua brothers. However, we have been staying up late in the last few days because we have been thinking about plans to deal with Fahrenheit Brothers. After retiring from the court this morning, I thought that you must want to re-establish the wife of the chaff as the head of the harem as soon as possible. I just held on to my already tired mind and stayed up for a long time to think of the reasons I thought were appropriate! Therefore, when it comes to those generals in the southwest border, I am afraid that they will be powerless and backfire. Wechen has the courage to ask for your grace to allow us to rest for two days after we go back tonight!
Speaking of this, they lifted the hem of their official robes again and knelt down. With a face full of reverence, bend down and bow down!
Emperor Yongxi stretched out his legs to push against the heads of Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu, and said with a guilty face: The two Aiqing, it is too hard to work for the state affairs for several days. I'm so sorry!
As the master of the Son of Heaven, when it came to this, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu hurriedly said: Your Majesty, it is the people of our dynasty who are not able to live with Weichen. Don't say that again!
Seeing that they didn't mean to get up, Emperor Yongxi jumped up and said angrily: "Two Aiqing, you two are very polite. But I want you two to be flat, why don't you two get up for a long time? Do you need to kneel down and ask for each other?
These words popped out of his mouth coldly, so frightened that Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu could only slowly stand up and sit on Huang Cancan's carved chair and said: Your Majesty, Weichen is really afraid that he will not be able to delay your big event. I hope you can fulfill our helpless request, and it will be granted----
Before the two of them finished speaking, Emperor Yongxi smiled bitterly and said: "Two Aiqing, you two have worked hard for me to be indestructible. How can I harden my heart and refuse to allow you two days off? However, I implore you both to recommend a suitable candidate to go to the southwestern frontier. Please!
Hearing this, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu hurriedly said: Your Majesty, before the chief eunuch Li Gonggong announced that we would come to the palace. The two of us have already told Lin Yushi about this, and he agreed without hesitation!
Suddenly, a young young man's vigorous and rich voice came from the door of the "Imperial Study": Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters have come up with a suitable reason to deal with the generals in the southwest border. And willing to go to lobby!
In this way, Emperor Yongxi and the two important ministers of the court all looked back at the source of the voice and muttered to themselves: Hey, when did the horse come here? Why didn't any of us hear his footsteps?
