Chapter 101: Neglect is no more, concern remains
The solemn gaze of the king of Chu, who had gazed at the slightly pale face of the prince for a long time, seemed to have a long-lost emotion, washed his chest - at that time, he was young, and he also swore a sonorous oath in front of his father, unwilling to rely on the merits of his father and ancestors, sit back and enjoy the glory, and invited himself to fight on the battlefield, and compete with the people of the Northern Plains, even ignoring the worries of his new wife.
He was not by her side when her son was born, nor was he by her side when she was concerned about the weakness of her son, and he did not pay any attention to the malice that surrounded his wife and children.
Until she had poisonous hair, he even thought that she was too hard working and too worried about the world.
"Being able to marry the prince, the concubine has no regrets, even if she can't grow old together...... The only thing that the concubine can't let go of is Feng'er...... Lord, promise the concubine, you must let Feng'er be safe, choose a good woman for him, and join hands in this life, just like you and me......"
His wife, who has been suffering since she lingered on the sickbed, has been suffering and tortured, but she has endured it and is unwilling to let go easily, but in the end, she can only hold on until Feng'er's fifth birthday.
No regrets, how can there be no regrets? As a seven-foot man, but he can't protect his wife and children, the rest of his life is destined to only suffer in shame and guilt, and from that day, his ambition will be wiped out.
At this time, in the face of the insistence of the prince, the king of Chu was in a very complicated mood.
If it weren't for the death of the nurse of the prince, the symptoms were no different from the princess, the king of Chu was puzzled, and found that the nurse died of chronic poisonous weeds, maybe the son had already died, and he didn't even know that his wife and children were murdered.
Since the death of the princess, the prince's body has become weaker and weaker, thanks to the king of Chu to find out the truth in time, so that the imperial doctors rescued the prince from the Huangquan Road.
The young son has gone through a life-and-death crisis, although he has saved his life, he still has not completely escaped the threat of death, and he cannot eradicate the toxins in his body, and he will eventually "live without a crown".
The son who lost his biological mother and was tormented by illness was wise since he was a child, and he was so deep that he didn't look like a child.
The king of Chu remembered that the prince had just escaped from the ghost gate, and in the winter of that year, he called the princess to dream - in the dream, he asked "to relieve the remaining poison and go to the Buddha Temple". The king of Chu has always not believed in the gods and ghosts, but the old princess firmly believes that there is a god to protect her, and sent the prince to live in the Buddha Temple, not wanting the master of Tongji to really recommend the miracle doctor, the king of Chu insisted on the mentality of giving it a try, and tried his best to find Qinggu, but he didn't expect Qinggu to really eradicate the residual poison in the body of the prince.
That year, Yu Feng was eight years old, and the residual poison was cured, but he said something amazing.
"Father, the poisoning of the mother concubine is not so simple, and the son suspects that the real murderer is someone else!"
Listing the strange places one by one, the king of Chu only woke up like a dream after several secret inspections.
But he was even more annoyed, when he found out that his wife was poisoned by the Jiang family, in a fit of rage, he executed all the people who should have been involved in poisoning, but he didn't expect that there were villains behind the Jiang family, and it was he who destroyed all the evidence with his own hands, making the truth confusing.
Eight-year-old Yu Feng said lightly: "They won't give up if they don't achieve their goal, so don't make a noise about the fact that the father's father and son's residual poison have been resolved." ”
After another three years, when the son of the world was young and young, he actually proposed to go to Yizhou to study: "Father, my son doesn't want to be a waster." ”
Facing the still weak prince, the king of Chu felt even more guilty.
When he was thirteen years old, a song "Cangsheng Fu" became famous, and when he returned from his studies at the age of sixteen, he made a policy and made the saint praise it.
Yu Feng deserves to be the pride of the King of Chu.
But he couldn't watch his son in danger!
Advocating innovation, it will hurt the interests of the nobles and the family, and become the target of the public, even if there is a saint behind him, but it is like stepping on the blade.
He has already caused lifelong regrets because of a moment of negligence, how can he watch his son go to the soup.
As soon as he thought of this, the King of Chu's mood became a little heavier: "I know your ambitions all along, and I also understand the resentment and grievances in your heart, but Feng'er, have you ever thought that even though the Holy Lord has the intention of innovation, he has always had scruples, just like right now, although the Holy Lord allowed the Metropolitan Procuratorate to review Zheng Naining's case, he immediately promoted the Jinxiang henchmen to the ...... of Jiangzhou Governor."
"Father, that was originally the son's plan."
……
"Zheng's wife is dead, the truth is unknown, although I know that this case involves officials in southern Zhejiang, but it is not easy to find real evidence, if you want to grasp their handle, you must give them the opportunity to continue to do bad." Yu Feng smiled slightly.
"Are you really sure that the Holy Lord will ignore Xun Gui for the sake of a Zheng Naining?"
"No, the saint is targeting only two people."
King Chu frowned.
"Father, why did the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord want Zhuo's Erniang to be the prince's side concubine?" Yu Feng asked again.
"I am worried, and there is also this reason, the two side concubines next to the prince were originally Jinxiang's henchmen, plus the second mother of the Zhuo family...... The saint has no intention of abolishing the prince, and this decision is not to win the support of the crown prince. ”
"Although the Zhuo family is a party of the prime minister, it may not always be consistent, especially when there is a conflict of interest." Yu Feng was confident: "The three side concubines in the East Palace, behind them are three families, their status in the East Palace is related to the interests of the family, if these three families have a dispute, what will happen to the prime minister?" No matter which clan they support, will the other two clan still be willing? ”
The King of Chu thought for a while, although he felt that Shizi's analysis was very reasonable, but he still didn't want to put him on the cusp: "If it's just a suggestion, it's okay, but Feng'er, the Holy Lord has already proposed to let you take over the Tianchawei ......"
Yu Feng was stunned, this incident was somewhat unexpected by him, and the saint did not show any words.
Although he only returned to Beijing, the saint appointed him as the secretary of the Guozi Supervisor, in charge of Confucian teaching, and tried to calculate, but in fact he did not have any real power, after all, even if the supervisor passed the Guozi Supervisor assessment, whether he could be conferred the post, what position should be awarded, and it depended on the re-election of the Ministry of Officials.
Tianchawei is different, although it is still a secret agency at the moment, but it is directly under the orders of the Son of Heaven, acting in accordance with the secret edict, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is one bright and one dark, supervising the hundred officials, the preparation and management of this institution, and the Son of Heaven has full authority to entrust the King of Chu.
Right now, since Yu Feng has taken over, it is a vague reminder - what the Holy Lord needs is not only for him to give advice in secret, but he also needs Yu Feng to be more involved and even play a leading role in the next action.
After a short pause, Yu Feng had already made up his mind: "Father, Feng is a courtier of Dalong, and he should be loyal to the holy order, how can he only want his personal safety...... He knew what his father was worried about, but he would not act impulsively and recklessly, so he asked his father to be relieved. ”
"You're really determined to ......"
"The two phases are powerful, it has become a hidden danger, if it is not contained, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, as a son of the clan, and he has the trust of the saint, in public and private, he should do his best to help the saint fight rebellion and stabilize the situation." Yu Feng insisted: "Things in the world are unpredictable, if you let the two sides suffer, you may not be able to protect yourself in the future, father, although Feng is not completely sure, but there are sixty percent of the plans, please believe me." ”
This is the second time that Yu Feng has pleaded with the King of Chu for his trust.
The father and son looked at each other, one hesitant, the other resolute, and they had been facing each other for a long time.
The palm of the King of Chu's hand on his knee finally loosened.
Yu Feng smiled slightly, got up and shook solemnly.
When the king of Chu was left alone in the study, he put his palm on the half-worn robe, and for a long time, he muttered: "Ah Lan, our son, is not a cowardly and incompetent person, I am very comforted...... Please also believe me again, no matter what, I will also guarantee Feng'er's safety, and when we meet again in Jiuquan, I will not be shameless. ”
In August of the third year of Yuanqing, for many people, fate has been reversed, and it is difficult to grasp it.
When Yu Feng returned to Guan Sui Yuan, only to step into the still clear and blue Meilin, Gray Du couldn't wait to greet him, quickly bowed down, and reported in a low voice: "Shizi, Du Yuniang has something to say, saying that Wu Niang invited her to meet today to inquire about the whereabouts of the third prince's jade seal." ”
Before the words fell, he saw that Shizi had turned around, and Ash Du was stunned for a moment, and then followed: "My subordinates can't figure it out, how can Wu Niang be involved." ”
"Qianrao Pavilion...... No wonder the eldest man of the Zhu family would learn about the whereabouts of the third prince, I should have thought that it was her. Yu Feng frowned, his expression was more solemn than before, and his pace did not stop, and he went to Guan Sui Yuan.
It was he who was negligent, and he should have prevented her from getting involved in this matter, especially after learning that the third prince had secret ambitions!
Right now, the third prince must be suspected of stealing the jade seal and looking for her to confront her, and since she has found Du Yuniang to inquire, she is afraid that she has already fallen into the hands of the third prince.
It's about the storage space, and it's too dangerous.
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Feng was anxious.
At this time, in Luqing Garden, Yijing had already finished lunch with Huang Jiangyue, and the mother-in-law accompanying Jianning Houfu had urged Jiang Yue to return to the house several times, Jiang Yue was still reluctant, Yijing sent her out of the second gate, and Jiang Yue got into the carriage with a heart. Seeing the carriage turn around the corner, Yijing turned around and went all the way back to Luqing Garden, and Qiu Yue couldn't stop talking about what he saw and heard in the market today.
"By the way, the last time Wu Niang went to the Water Lotus Pond to enjoy the crape myrtle, did you go to a place called the Water Lotus Nunnery?"
Because the eldest princess gave a silent order, whether it was the little lady or the servant woman who accompanied her that day, no one dared to mention the word Water Lotus Nunnery again, and Qiuyue naturally didn't know.
Seeing her mysterious appearance, Yijing's heart moved: "What's wrong with the Water Lotus Nunnery?" ”
Qiu Yue covered half of her mouth, lowered her voice and said: "Today in Yanzhu Fang, the guys are talking about this Water Lotus Nunnery, I heard that in the middle of the night on August 16, the Water Lotus Nunnery was burned clean by a fire!" None of the abbots and sister-in-law escaped, but they all died inside. ”
Yi Jing was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be that the prince killed people because of the scandalous revelation?
"Not only that, but I heard that several other men were also burned to death inside." Qiu Yue snorted lightly: "The Buddha Gate is quiet, how can there be a man who sleeps overnight...... It can be rumored in the market that the nuns in the nunnery are not good people, I heard that what kind of abbot is still holding several lives in his hands, this time, it is to be sought revenge, think about it, how can a few big living people be burned alive. ”
"So, the place is burned clean." Yijing shook his head, feeling that there was nothing to ponder about this matter, even if the prince killed people and killed his mouth, the nun was to blame.
The two of them walked around the mirror pool and walked on the verandah, and they heard a voice behind them, "Five sisters stay".
In the soft light of the autumn sun, the young man in Tsing Yi is coming down from the willows, Xu because the pace is a little hurried, although the west wind is not lightly rolled, but it also makes the sleeves dance, as his pace gradually approaches, it seems that the surrounding scenery has all been reduced to the background, not only the autumn moon is stunned, even the beautiful scenery has not awakened for a long time, until he is close to him, blocking the sunlight outside the corridor, completely occupying her entire sight.
Gradually, the corners of the girl's lips lifted slightly, looking into his eyes, her own silent outline.
