Chapter 246: Seeing is Not Seeing
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
After Bai Susu settled the two children, she quickly set off for the capital, she was now distraught, and she just wanted to hurry to the capital to inquire about Lord Lu's news.
She disguised herself as a man, rode a horse and left.
The capital is nearly a month away from Jiangyong County, and she didn't forget to inquire about the news in the capital while hurrying, but no matter how she inquired, she could get very little news.
No news is good news, Bai Susu continued to comfort himself while continuing to rush to the capital.
And at this moment, it is not peaceful in the capital.
Emperor Cheng didn't feel much happy after the Lu family fell, he looked at the piles of folds on the dragon case, and he didn't need to look at it to know what was written inside, all of which were excerpts for the Lu family's intercession.
Emperor Cheng didn't want to pay attention to it at the beginning, thinking that it would stop after a while, but who knew that the minister was more diligent instead of stopping.
The Lu family has been in the DPRK for more than 100 years, and there are so many branches on this big tree that more than half of the ministers in the DPRK and the central government support it.
"Holy Lord, the prince has been waiting at the door for more than an hour." The eunuch Wang Dezi saw that Emperor Cheng's face was gloomy, so he took the opportunity to speak, "The prince said that if you don't see him, he has been kneeling at the door and not getting up." ”
Emperor Cheng was already worried about the affairs of the court, and when he heard that the prince was kneeling at the door and not leaving, he suddenly felt angry. Isn't the prince's move just to force him, the prince and the virtuous concubine and the Lu family belong to the same line, and they are not good things.
"Get out, let him go, I don't want to see that rebel." Emperor Cheng was furious, picked up a teacup and smashed it to the ground with a bang.
Wang Dezi said that the saint was angry, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran outside the door to spread the word. As soon as the person went out, his cautious appearance was immediately changed to high-spiritedness, he walked to the prince kneeling in front of the palace, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly, "His Royal Highness the prince should go back, the saint will not see you." ”
The crown prince had been begging to see him for many days, but the saint had refused to see him, which made him particularly uneasy. The Lu family and him are inextricably linked, and now that the Lu family has an accident, he is the first to be unlucky.
"Princess, please help spread the word, just say that I haven't given my father peace of mind for a few days, and I am particularly uneasy, and I also ask my father to have time to see him." The prince now also understands that this time is different from the past, although Wang Dezi is a flattering villain, he is indeed the most eloquent person, and he cannot be offended. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it and opened it was a bracelet of red agate, he stuffed the box to Wang Dezi, "This is the tribute to the palace in the Western Regions the year before last, I heard that the prince likes to collect agate, and this bracelet is just for the prince to play with." ”
Wang Dezi knew at first sight that this was a top-level agate, such a treasure that he had never had in his life as a eunuch, and now that the prince gave it to himself, how could he not like it.
"This, where is the status of a slave lowly worthy of such a precious treasure." Wang Dezi said this, and his fingers couldn't wait to start stroking.
When the prince saw his greedy eyes, he knew that this thing was sent right, no wonder his cousin Lu Zhiyuan revealed the news to him that he wanted to see the saint, and he must buy Wang Dezi first.
"The prince has served his father for many years, and he naturally works hard. Although Lone has not had the opportunity to serve his father for many years as the crown prince, Lone is very guilty. This bracelet should be a little bit of gratitude to the prince for serving his father and emperor all these years. The prince's words were earnest, and his face was a little excited.
Wang Dezi was flattered, one of his favorite in his life was collecting agate, and the other was that he liked to listen to flattery. Now that the prince has two things in a row, he naturally looks better at the prince.
Seeing this, the prince also knew that he had made the right move, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Then the matter of asking for peace to my father and the emperor is a few more kind words from the prince." ”
Wang Dezi put the brocade box into his sleeve, and said with a smile on his face, "Wait a minute, the prince will go and help you run again, but if you can't see you, it depends on the meaning of the saint." ”
The prince hurriedly thanked him.
Wang Dezi turned around and entered the hall again, Emperor Cheng was angry just now, and most of his anger was gone, and he was stretching out his hand to press his head and worrying, "This Lu clan is also hateful, and he dares to incite the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty to speak for them, it is really bold." ”
"The slave is stupid and doesn't understand the major affairs of the state, and the slave only knows that the holy dragon body is important, but he can't worry about the dragon body for these trivial things." Wang Dezi has been with Emperor Cheng for ten years, and after his master retired, Wang Dezi took this position, and the chief of the internal servants around Emperor Cheng was also the closest person to Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng sighed, and casually pushed aside the folds on the case, "Look at these things, where can I not be angry, I will be angry." ”
"Long live the saints." Wang Dezi hurriedly said.
"It's all a lie, I'm at this age, and I don't have a few years to live, but it doesn't matter if I go, who will hand over the inheritance of my ancestors." Emperor Cheng said worriedly.
This has already involved the issue of succession to the throne, he can't say that Wang Dezi is not stupid, and Emperor Cheng doesn't want to listen to his ideas, but just casually say it. So he hung his head and didn't answer.
"Wang Dezi, what do you say?" Emperor Cheng Xu was too worried and asked this question for the first time.
Wang Dezi turned his mind and directly bypassed the topic, he replied, "The Holy Spring and Autumn Period is in its prime, so there is no need to worry about who will succeed to the throne in the future, and the princes of the Holy Lord, Wen Taowu, are quite saintly, so the Holy Lord naturally does not need to worry." ”
Emperor Cheng smiled, "I knew that it would be useless to ask you, you would only say something I like to hear to coax me." ”
"What the slave says is from the bottom of his heart, if you don't believe it, the slave will die now." Wang Dezi stalked his neck and looked serious.
Emperor Cheng was even more amused when he saw him like this, "That's it, if you want to die for these few words, then wouldn't I become a great dusk king." ”
Wang Dezi was overjoyed when he saw Emperor Cheng smiling, and naturally praised Emperor Cheng if he liked it.
Emperor Cheng's mood improved a lot, and Wang Dezi saw that the time was almost up, so he said, "Holy Lord, the prince has been waiting at the door for almost two hours, and it is too cold outside, so why not let the prince enter the house to warm up." ”
Emperor Cheng was a little unhappy when he mentioned the prince, "If he is cold, he will go back to the prince's mansion, and he will sell it here to be pitiful." ”
"According to the meaning of the slave, you can meet the prince, the prince of the province is frozen, you don't say it, and your heart is distressed." Wang Dezi said with a smile.
"Bold!"
Emperor Cheng scolded angrily.
Wang Dezi said that he knew his mistakes, but there was no fear on his face, he had served Emperor Cheng for many years, and naturally he knew that these words would not anger Emperor Cheng.
"The prince is deceiving me and being soft-hearted." Emperor Cheng said.
"The crown prince is your son, how can there be a father who does not love his son, the saint, you are the most virtuous monarch, but you have the most loving heart." Wang Dezi said.
Emperor Cheng was in a good mood by his words, but he still had a straight face on his face, "Let him go to the side hall and serve him a bowl of hot soup." When he had finished drinking, let him go, and I would not see him. ”
Wang Dezi knew that Emperor Cheng was relieved, he got up and answered, turned around and went out to pass the word to the prince.
The crown prince frowned deeply when he heard this, and his tone was not lacking in disappointment, "Father still refuses to see me." ”
Wang Dezi didn't want to say more, but when he read the top-level agate bracelet just now, he kindly reminded him, "There is only one wall between the side hall and the holy dragon and hall." ”
The prince was stunned for a moment and then understood, his face was happy, and he raised his hand to thank Wang Dezi, which swept away the previous decadence and walked towards the hall with his head held high.
He firmly remembered Lu Zhiyuan's explanation to him, don't say anything to the saint when he sees him, and don't rush to pick himself up, all he has to do is one thing, and that is to cry.
The worse you cry, the better, and the more uncomfortable you cry, the better.
Emperor Cheng is now older, and he is more and more obsessed with the control of power, he doesn't like the sons under him to show their edge, he prefers to see his sons clinging to him and being protected by him.
The prince has not seen the emperor for a few days this time, and the rumors are rife outside, so he is naturally extremely aggrieved, so he only needs to cry out his grievances this time. Although the crown prince is not Emperor Cheng's favorite son, after all, he is the only one who has been brought up by himself, and he is still the only prince, so there is no need to say what the feelings are. What he has to do now is to arouse Emperor Cheng's father-son affection for him.
"Father!"
As soon as the prince entered the door, he rushed towards Emperor Cheng, knelt directly at the feet of Emperor Cheng, and cried loudly when he lay on it, the prince cried for more than 30 years, regardless of his identity, crying more fiercely than a child.
Sure enough, the prince's weakness aroused the long-lost father-son relationship in Emperor Cheng's heart, and he looked at the prince who was crying and red-eyed and remembered what he looked like when he was a child.
Wang Dezi stood at the gate of the palace, his hand hidden in his sleeve touched the red agate on his wrist for a while, listening to the crying in the hall expressionlessly, thinking that the prince is not really useless, isn't it very smart, knowing how to take the weakness of the saint, and take one by one.
When I was thinking like this, I saw the three princes coming towards the main hall from a distance. Wang Dezi smiled, the news of the third prince is really fast, and the prince has just entered the door less than half an hour before this person came.
Wang Dezi looked back at the hall, the crying had just stopped, presumably at this time the saint was talking to the prince about family affairs, and going in at this time to disturb it would definitely cause the saint to be dissatisfied, so he was not so stupid.
"It turned out to be the prince." The third prince nodded when he saw Wang Dezi, and his eyes looked in the direction of the palace, "Father and emperor can be in the palace, and I bother my father-in-law to help spread the word." ”
Wang Dezi looked embarrassed, "If the third prince usually comes, the slave will naturally not dare to delay your business, but this prince is inside and has something to say to the saint, and he will not leave if he wants to come for a while, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to go in at this time." ”
"Is the royal brother in the house, I haven't seen the imperial brother for a few days." The eyes of the three princes were deep, as if they wanted to see the palace through the palace walls.
Wang Dezi heard the sound of the words, the third prince must enter the hall, he said, "I'm sorry that the third prince will wait a minute, and I will report to you when the prince has seen the holy servant." ”
