Chapter 487: Wake the Spirit
The eldest prince of Shu in the palace was stunned for a while before he reacted when he heard the news, and he asked again and again: "Is the news accurate?" ”
The henchman who served him said happily: "It was the official of the Li Fan Yuan who came to inform him personally, and said that the Lord of Lin County will come to see His Highness tomorrow to discuss the departure with you, and it seems that the Liang Kingdom is in a hurry to invite their five princes back to the funeral, and this matter has been very accurate." ”
The eldest prince couldn't help but jump up, and finally turned around happily like a child, "In other words, I'm going to return to Shu in the next day?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness doesn't have to stay in the Liang Kingdom to be a proton." The henchman was also very happy, but he was still a little worried, "But when I heard from someone, it seems that Lord Fang didn't agree very much, and he quarreled with Lord Lin. ”
The eldest prince's face was cold, his little face was full of frost, and he was silent for a while: "He is the emperor's person, and his attitude represents the emperor's intentions, he is only afraid that he will not be able to make the decision in this matter, I will send a letter to my grandfather, and you will send it quickly." ”
He can't sit back and wait for the result, last time he didn't have a choice, this time Liang Guo wants to change back to Proton, he naturally has to work hard.
No matter how strong his father is, he has to listen to the opinions of the courtiers.
Fang Zheng didn't know that Lin Qingwan went out from him with the front foot, so he sent someone to sow discord in the palace with the back foot.
At this time, he was writing a good note, and let people send it back to Shu quickly.
Now that the state of Chu has been destroyed, and the border between Shu and Liang is much more convenient, the time for letters can be reduced by almost half.
Lin Qingwan said to give him time to think about it, and the next day he really didn't come to entangle, and it wasn't until the afternoon that he knew that she ran to find the eldest prince.
Only then did he think of this main master, and a chill rose directly from the tailbone, what did Lin Qingwan and the eldest prince say, what would the eldest prince think of him?
Fang Zheng made it regret this, he shouldn't have agreed to Liang Guo to put the eldest prince in the palace, it was not easy for him to meet him, but the other party could see him at any time.
But there were many forces that wanted to be unfavorable to the eldest prince at the beginning, and for the sake of safety, he didn't dare to take risks.
Moreover, this matter was also agreed between Qin Shangshu and Liang Guo, and he realized that there was something wrong with this matter.
Fang Zheng couldn't take care of much, and hurriedly entered the palace to ask to see the eldest prince.
For the sake of the heart of the Shu Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom originally placed the eldest prince in a side courtyard in the front hall of the palace.
It has always been the guest house of the emperor's ministers, which is not only separated from the harem, but also within the palace limits, and because it is close to the court, it is very safe.
Liang also deliberately opened a road to the envoys of Shu to facilitate their entry and exit. In this way, the envoys of Shu do not need to ask Emperor Liang for instructions when they enter the palace, they only need to hand a post to the prince of Shu, and the other party can enter if they agree.
Moreover, the envoys of Shu State could not enter other areas from Yongdao, and Emperor Liang sent additional guards, unless they could buy the guards in this area, otherwise the safety factor was still quite high.
Of course, it was the people brought by the prince of Shu who guarded the road, so as not to suspect that the Liang State had separated the contact between the prince and the envoys.
This time, Fang Zheng's envoy also directly handed over the post to the Shu guards guarding the road, but the other party did not go in directly, but received the post and said: "Your Highness has just rested, and the hour is late, your Excellency should go out of the palace first, and when His Highness agrees, the lower official will send someone to the post station to inform you." ”
Fang Zheng's face turned ugly and asked, "What did Lord Lin say to His Highness?" ”
"The lower officials are only guarding the Yongdao, how can they know the words of His Royal Highness and Lord Lin?"
"When did Lord Nalin leave?"
"Just an hour before your lordship arrived," the guard smiled with his hands folded, "the lord of the county left after lunch and afternoon tea." ”
It means that she came in the morning and talked with the eldest prince for a morning and an afternoon.
Fang Zhengzhi pursed his lips, "You report it to the eldest prince as soon as possible, and say that I have reported it to Your Majesty, and I will get the news in a few days." ”
The guard smiled and waited for him to leave, then let his companion guard his place, and he took the post inside.
The eldest prince was watching people pack up their things, and Lin Qingwan came over today and clearly told him that she would send him to Jiangling no matter whether the day after tomorrow Fang Zheng agreed or not.
The five princes must come back to mourn.
The eldest prince did not believe in Lin Qingwan completely, but Lin Qingwan said that because it was important to exchange for protons, she would go in person, and he was much more relieved.
Lin Qingwan repeatedly emphasized that it was the first emperor of Liang who wanted to see the five princes, and the new emperor was filial and friendly, so he was in such a hurry to recall the five princes.
The eldest prince was not happy at all, but he couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately the fourth prince who was going to ascend the throne was Fangzheng, otherwise he might really have to stay here to exchange protons.
Anyway, the eldest prince was in a state of excitement at this time, so he didn't care what happened to Fang Zheng, and stared at the palace people to collect some of the things he liked very much.
In fact, he had a good time in the Liang Kingdom for half a year, Emperor Liang treated him with courtesy, and the fourth prince was about the same age as his father, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at him.
There is also a handwritten book from the five princes, and the six princes play well with him, and the other companions, although there are occasional quarrels, but because of his noble status, no one dares to blatantly bully him.
On the contrary, he took him to play a lot of things that he had never played before, and saw a lot of things.
However, no matter how well he plays, he is also a guest here, and he must be careful in his every move, how can he be at ease at home?
At this time, Lin Qingwan was guarding in front of the emperor's spirit, and tonight it was her turn to keep the spirit, and it was the three princes who were separated from her.
Emperor Liang's children, including her and Zhong Ruying, the two righteous daughters, have to keep a vigil for him, and Lin Qingwan has to come in the morning during the day, and then go to deal with the government affairs of the Li Fan Yuan, and at night they take shifts.
It is not the first time that Lin Qingwan has worn filial piety to guard the spirit, but this time is different from Lin Jiang's time, and there are more rules to follow.
Fortunately, there is a reminder from the official of the Ministry of Etiquette on the side, and it will not be wrong.
She silently picked up the millet stalk and put it into the brazier, and the third prince knelt silently beside her, following her silently kowtowing and saluting.
After Lin Qingwan finished saluting, she watched him lie directly on the ground and cry bitterly, and couldn't help but take two steps on her knees to help him, and the third prince seemed embarrassed, and turned his head to wipe away his tears.
"Thank you, third sister."
Lin Qingwan saw that his face was not good, and couldn't help but whisper: "You go to the back hall to rest first, I'll come and see here." ”
The third prince shook his head and knelt still, "I am already unfilial, and I failed to serve my father when he was sick, how can I not keep a vigil for my father." ”
"Then you should also focus on your body, Your Majesty will look at it, you know that he feels sorry for you, how can you make him feel more distressed?"
The third prince shook his head stubbornly, "If you can't keep the spirit, it will be in vain for the son of man." ”
Lin Qingwan couldn't help pursing her lips, she knew that this era attaches great importance to filial piety, some filial sons really don't eat meat for three years for filial piety, and they have to build a grass shed in front of their parents' graves to guard filial piety.
Guarding the spirit is only the most basic, the third prince is obviously quite deep, if he doesn't even ask him to guard the mourning hall, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass that level in my heart.
She didn't speak again, but glanced at the palace people guarding behind her.
The palace people quietly retreated, and after a while, they brought a bowl of medicine, Lin Qingwan took it, and presented it to the third prince and said: "Third brother, what Your Majesty is most worried about before leaving is the fifth brother who is still in Shu Kingdom, and you who are not in good health, and I have been telling the palace people to remember to serve you and take medicine." ”
The third prince had no appetite at all, and when he heard the words, tears fell like rain, so he took it silently, and drank it all when he raised his head, and he didn't even notice that the taste of the medicine had changed.
Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not the previous prescription of the three princes, but the new medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to replenish blood and qi, he will eat a few mouthfuls of food today, and then keep the spirit, I am afraid that when the emperor comes out of the funeral, he will also fall.
At night, there were few people in the mourning hall, except for Lin Qingwan and the three princes, there was only one official of the Ministry of Rites and two palace people who were waiting.
At this time, everyone was extremely sleepy, and there were still people in the Ministry of Rites and palace people, but Lin Qingwan and the three princes had to keep guarding.
The two of them had fallen asleep on the mat at this time, and when the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that the time had come, they glanced at the third prince and Lin Qingwan, and finally decided to wake up Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan opened her eyes, glanced at the hour, and silently stepped forward to add oil and burn incense to pay tribute.
Throwing the millet stalk into the brazier, Lin Qingwan turned around to look at the third prince after completing a set of salutes, and saw that his face was not good, so he couldn't help touching his hand, and it was cold in his hand, obviously cold.
Lin Qingwan frowned, laid out her quilt, gave the officials of the Ministry of Rites a look, and the two of them carefully turned him over, let him lie down on the quilt, and then covered him with his quilt.
Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that guarding the spirit was really not a human job, fortunately her body was special, otherwise she would definitely not be able to keep it.
The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Lin Qingwan with admiration, he felt that a big man couldn't stand it, but Lord Lin could have the same face.
At this time, it is a cold winter wax moon.
Lin Qingwan sat silently on the mat, but she was thinking about how to talk to General Zhang when she arrived in Jiangling.
So that the other party can send the five princes as soon as possible.
When the fifth prince woke up in the early morning of the next day, his face was a little better, and when he saw Lin Qingwan's quilt under him, his face instantly turned red, and he said cowardly: "This, how can this work, my sister can suffer from the cold at night?" ”
Lin Qingwan smiled at him: "I've always slept lightly and can't sleep, so it doesn't matter, since the third brother is awake, let's go to the back hall to have some porridge and rice." ”
The third prince has no appetite.
Lin Qingwan said: "There are still forty-six days, is the third brother going to stop eating or drinking all the time?" ”
The third prince got up and went to the back hall with her, there were only small steamed buns and a pot of porridge on the table, as well as two plates of pickles, and the two of them had breakfast silently.
Lin Qingwan kept staring at the third prince until he drank all the porridge in the bowl, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and sighed: "Third brother, I will leave Beijing tomorrow, and it should be Ruying who will keep vigil with you in the future. ”
She said: "Except for General Zhong and Brother-in-law Qi, Your Majesty is the best person for her, last time I saw her almost faint in the mourning hall, I am not in the palace, and ask the third brother to take more care of her, staring at her to eat on time, take medicine on time, rest on time, don't break your body for filial piety." His Majesty has been watching, if Sister Ruying is not doing well, he will feel uncomfortable. ”
The third prince pursed his lips, and this was not so much telling him to take care of Zhong Ruying, but telling him to take care of himself.
