Chapter Twenty-Six: The Throne Is Not Sitting Comfortably
"Gu Bingyang, what are your intentions in getting me to such a situation?"
Yu Chi Lecheng's face still had that kind of look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a bit of playfulness, making it impossible to know whether he was angry or joking.
But no matter whether His Majesty the Emperor is angry or joking, the consequences after that are definitely not something that a courtier can bear!
Gu Bingyang knelt on the ground, although it was March of Yangchun, he felt that he was in the ice and snow, and the cold sweat had soaked his dirty clothes, and even slowly slid down his forehead.
"Weichen doesn't dare!"
Hearing Gu Bingyang's voice, he trembled a little, and Yu Chi Lecheng straightened his waist a little, and then leaned back on the back of the chair, which was not very comfortable.
The dragon chair is never comfortable, and the throne is never for people to sit and rest, and the courtiers are not loyal if they have made a fortune.
"Well, I don't want to listen to your quibbles anymore." Yu Chi Lecheng waved his hand, and it seemed that he was already a little tired, "Just do what I told you to do before."
In addition, your wife has just passed away, so you should mourn her at home. Moreover...... Good life comforts your daughter who has lost her mother. ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys ......"
"This is not a divine decree." Yu Chi Lecheng raised his eyebrows, seemingly unhappy with Gu Bingyang's answer, "This is what you should do as a father." ”
"Yes, Weichen understands and obeys the emperor's teachings." Gu Bingyang learned to be obedient, and immediately replied with more appropriate words.
"Stand down."
As soon as Wei Chi Lecheng's words came out, the little eunuch who was waiting next to him immediately stepped forward, shook the dust in his hand, and made an attitude of sending off the guests.
Not only was he scolded by the emperor just now, but he also lost his errand, Gu Bingyang didn't want to lose his life, so he retreated immediately.
"Linglong, you also step aside." Seeing that the little eunuch sent Gu Bingyang out of the door of the imperial study, Yu Chi Lecheng added such a sentence.
"Yes, the minions are retired."
The little eunuch named Linglong is the close eunuch next to Yu Chi Lecheng, although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he is already the chief eunuch in the palace, he can win the trust of Yu Chi Lecheng at a young age, and naturally knows how to observe words and feelings.
The door of the imperial study was closed by Linglong intimately.
Yu Chi Lecheng got up on the carved chair, stretched out a little disrespectfully, and then looked at the jade screen in the corner of the imperial study: "I really don't understand why Gu Bingyang is so stupid, just go against you, and dare to run directly in front of me to complain......
Did he think I really hated you that much? ”
The black shadow flickered behind the jade screen, and Yu Chi Jingmo, who was still wearing the iconic dark ink colored clothes, came out from behind the screen.
Yu Chi Jingmo looked at the somewhat similar Yu Chi Lecheng in front of him, who was somewhat similar to his own eyebrows, and laughed: "You and I have been separated for eleven years, no matter who you are, you will think that there is no friendship between our brothers."
Otherwise...... You won't choose such an unreliable person to choose the best girls in the country for me, and say nonsense about choosing a concubine. ”
Yu Chi Lecheng seemed to be very accustomed to Yu Chi Jingmo's attitude, with a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of anger: "It's normal for me to choose a concubine for my brother, who told you to stay in the Northwest Wilderness and not come back?"
There are few people in the northwest, and there are no women in the army, if my brother doesn't worry about you, you will give up a woman and fall in love with a man. After being a brother for a hundred years, how can he face his mother? ”
Yu Chi Jingmo raised his right hand and clenched his fist, and gently knocked it on Yu Chi Lecheng's left chest: "I haven't seen you for many years, and my imperial brother is still so out of tune."
If I hadn't guarded the frontier for you in the northwest, how could I have made your throne sit comfortably?
But I'm probably not going back right away when I'm back now, I've arranged it over there, so you don't have to worry.
So don't use any weird reasons to drive me back, otherwise there will really be a speaker who wants to write and say that you don't miss brotherhood. ”
"I've never worried about your arrangements, and everything I've done is just for the sake of balance, and has never had anything to do with your brotherhood." Speaking of this, there was a gleam in Yu Chi Lecheng's beautiful phoenix eyes, but it was fleeting.
"That's right." Wei Chi Lecheng turned around and lightly changed the topic, "This time I summoned you back to ask you to marry before the age of twenty-five according to the queen's will.
This year, you are in your twenties and fourteens and have not yet started a family, and I have a three-year-old prince. I'll worry about you.
But I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for eleven years, and the first thing you did when you returned to Liangdu was not to enter the palace to see me, the imperial brother, but to have an affair in the eastern suburbs, which was really surprising.
Brother Emperor, when will you bring me the girl who can make you so tempted?
Although I heard that she has a heavy filial piety and should keep filial piety for three years, I am the king of the Liang Kingdom, and I will not be affected by these customs when I marry you. ”
Hearing that Yu Chi Lecheng mentioned Gu Qingyan, the smile on Yu Chi Jingmo's face deepened: "I still need to avoid suspicion these days, I'll bring her back after some time." When the time comes, don't embarrass her.
And this marriage ...... I still need her approval. ”
Wei Chi Lecheng seemed to find out for the first time that his younger brother was actually a person who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, so he couldn't help laughing: "This Rui Wang Ye Rui General who is sharp on the battlefield and makes the enemy frightened, is actually such a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade!"
Well, when the girl is willing, I will marry you. But this girl, I'm in a hurry to see ......"
I don't know if it's too excited and laughing too happily, Wei Chi Lecheng suddenly coughed strongly.
"Brother Huang, you have to take care of the dragon's body." Yu Chi Jingmo hurriedly helped Yu Chi Lecheng, "Do you want to invite the imperial doctor?" ”
"No...... No. Yu Chi Lecheng felt that his head was dizzy, and his body began to feel a little cold, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, "I ...... It's been an old problem for four years......"
Yu Chi Jingmo was shocked, Yu Chi Lecheng had such a disease, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know it!
As if discovering Yu Chi Jingmo's thoughts, Yu Chi Lecheng raised his head to look at him, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "I actually have nothing to do, and the imperial doctor can't find out anything." Thinking that if you tell the world to seek medical advice, I am afraid that it will confuse people's hearts......
I was only thirteen years old when I ascended the throne, and I trembled all the years...... I can die, but the human heart cannot be disturbed......"
Listening to Yu Chi Lecheng coughing, Yu Chi Jingmo suddenly felt that eating wind and sand in the northwest for eleven years was nothing, after all, it was even more painful for Yu Chi Lecheng to sit on this throne.
Lian is sick...... You can't let anyone else know.
was helped by Yu Chi Jingmo to sit on the chair, Yu Chi Lecheng's body was still trembling, but he had to grit his teeth and endure: "I'm fine...... Episodes occur for some time each day...... Empress...... The queen will be sending the decoction shortly. It will be better if you drink it......
The imperial doctor said that although he did not know the cause and did not know how to treat it, it would be beneficial to take some medicinal foods that were good for the throat for a long time. The queen made medicinal food for me every day, and boiled soup and medicine......"
"It would be good if the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law are in love and harmony."
I have long heard that the relationship between Yu Chi Lecheng and the current queen Nie Yunping is very good, very affectionate, Yu Chi Jingmo still doesn't believe it, after all, he didn't look down on the harem battle when he was a child, not to mention that there are many women in the emperor's harem, but now it seems that ...... It's true.
It's really a good thing to have a woman you love with you forever.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother has sent a decoction."
The voice of the spirit dragon sounded outside the door, interrupting Yu Chi Jingmo's thoughts, he helped Yu Chi Lecheng to sit upright, and listened to Yu Chi Lecheng's response.
Linglong opened the imperial study, and a woman stepped into the imperial study first.
She has this delicate goose egg face, wearing a goose-yellow printed butterfly wearing a blouse with a patterned stand-up collar and placket, and the lower body is a long royal blue dark flower four happiness ruyi pattern pleated skirt, draped in a jade-colored plain yarn, the black hair is coiled into a cloud bun, the hair bun is swayed with the team beads and eight immortals across the sea gems, and the body is a set of red gold hanging bells.
On the whole, it is not luxurious, but it is dignified and atmospheric, and the bell will make a small but pleasant sound with her movements, which also adds a bit of exotic style to her.
This is the current queen Nie Yunping.
Yu Chi Jingmo remembered that this Empress Nie was not from the Liang Kingdom, but the daughter of the patriarch of a small tribe in the south.
However, because of the relationship between that tribe in the south, Yu Chi Jingmo didn't know much about this queen mother, but he still knew that she was a tool that his father sent to Liang to marry when he couldn't resist the invasion of other tribes in order to save the tribe.
It is a pity that a woman who cannot disobey marries in exchange for the last hope of a tribe...... When the defenders of the southern Liang State sent troops, only thirteen people survived that tribe, and neither of Empress Nie's parents survived.
is a poor but beautiful woman who knows the general situation, no wonder Yu Chi Lecheng can raise eyebrows with her, not to mention that a queen without the power of her mother's family can make an emperor feel at ease.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." After watching Nie Yunping put the tray in his hand on the imperial table, Yu Chi Jingmo leaned over and saluted.
"Lord Rui, please get up quickly." Nie Yunping seemed to be flattered, but she still gave a decent support, "I have heard the name of Prince Rui for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really a hero in the world, no wonder the enemies in the northwest are in awe of Lord Rui." ”
"The mother is polite. The emperor's brother was unwell, so the courtiers retired first. Yu Chi Jingmo answered, and after saluting Yu Chi Lecheng, who had just drunk two mouthfuls of decoction and was obviously better, he withdrew from the imperial study.
Nie Yunping just smiled and watched Yu Chi Jingmo leave, and soon arrived at Yu Chi Lecheng's side and personally fed him the decoction.
As soon as Wei Chi Jingmo came out of the imperial study and walked a few steps, he joined the deputy general Zhan Tianhan who was waiting not far away, Zhan Tianhan was a subordinate who had followed him for many years, and was his confidant and the best helper.
After the two of them left the palace together, Zhan Tianhan spoke: "Lord Wang, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"I just felt that there was something wrong with the emperor, and the decoction sent by the queen was even more inappropriate. That decoction...... There seems to be some weird scent. Yu Chi Jingmo didn't hide anything, and directly said the doubts in his heart.
Zhan Tianhan didn't come into contact with the decoction, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only lightly pick up a sentence: "Speaking of the fragrance...... After the prince went to the eastern suburbs of Liangdu that day and came back, his subordinates also smelled a special fragrance on the prince......
