Chapter 365: The Decision Fails
Rong Yunxi glanced at him and said angrily, "Aren't you sick?" Why is Zhongqi still so sufficient? You have to do a full set of plays, don't show your stuffing. ”
"At home, how can you show your stuffing......" King Chen shouted.
Rong Yunxi smiled: "Yes, you won't show your stuffing at home, what do you have to do in bed?" Why don't you get down and walk around? Is there anyone still in our house to keep an eye on? ”
King Chen secretly regretted it, thinking that if he was careless with a word, he was surrounded by her. Talking to his concubine, it's really negligent for a moment.
I had no choice but to get up and walk around the house on my own.
Within two days, the news of King Chen's illness spread. The gate of King Chen's Mansion was closed and no guests were observed. But...... In fact, there were not many guests.
Everyone is on the fence to see who moves first and then follows. Therefore, without this person who came to visit first, King Chen's Mansion has been very quiet.
Taking advantage of the silence in the mansion, Rong Yunxi laughed at King Chen: "Didn't you say that once you get sick, you will definitely have a lot of guests?" Why hasn't anyone come now? I thought I might as well tell my father and tell him not to come. Anyway, no matter if your father comes or not, no one will come to see you. ”
"This is a man's city, and you don't understand it. Like you women? I wish I could rush up as soon as something happened...... Except, of course, you. "King Chen's words were halfway through, and he was a little unconfident.
While he was talking, he heard Zhuo Jiu come to pass the message: "Your Highness, General Rong has come to ask to see ......."
Rong Yunxi opened the door and said, "Didn't Your Highness say that you won't see guests?" Go and tell the general to go back, don't let him wait at the door. ”
"Oh......" Zhuo Jiu scratched his head, "Isn't this His Highness's father-in-law here, it's not an ordinary person." ”
"Your Highness said that if you don't see any guests, you won't see anyone." Rong Yun Xi Road.
"Yes." Zhuo Jiu responded.
"By the way, after you go and talk back to the general, then go back to the Zhaode Courtyard, Your Highness has orders." Rong Yun Xi Road.
Zhuo Jiu replied, "Okay", and hurried to the door to spread the word.
It's also strange to say, His Royal Highness is usually in good health, why did he suddenly get sick? The illness that Dr. Ju pulled out made me cry and laugh. actually said that His Highness was overworked and his kidney qi was damaged. What are you kidding? When does His Highness not "work"? I was much more "tired" than this for a while, and I didn't see His Highness fall ill any of a sudden!
I think it should be related to the first day of the first day, maybe His Royal Highness was deliberately sick. It's just that it's not good to look for the cause, but I want to find this? And deliberately let people spread it, as if it wasn't enough to be ashamed!
For the cause found out by King Chen, Rong Yunxi was also quite dissatisfied. So much so that in the past few days, when I saw the bed of Chenwang Tangzi and her Zhaode Courtyard, I couldn't wait to bury my head in the cracks in the ground.
Since October, King Chen has been in Zhaodeyuan almost every day, and although he said that it was better for a while, he just went to Xianglaiyuan. That Qingluo is another person who claims to be pregnant, so who is the reason for King Chen's "overwork"? Isn't it self-explanatory?
I really feel that I will be embarrassed to walk around in the future in the Shotokuin Temple. I'm really afraid of the envious and jealous eyes that those women cast at her.
After a while, Zhuo Jiu trotted all the way back to Zhaode Courtyard, stood at the door and said, "Niangniang, the slave is back." ”
"Come in." Rong Yun Xi Road.
"Hey." Zhuojiu deserved to be happy, but he felt a little embarrassed. Although I don't believe that His Highness's illness is true, after all, the cause has been spread, and now this Zhaodeyuan is too ...... Ahem, it's too much silver......
Zhuo Jiu entered the house, and King Chen, who was leaning on the bed reading a book in only his middle coat, beckoned to him: "Come here, this king will tell you something again." ”
"Yes." Zhuo Jiu stepped forward and secretly looked at his master.
The complexion is ruddy and shiny, and it doesn't look like he's sick due to "overwork", and he is full of energy.
"You asked General Rong to come to the palace to ask to see him, but the king closed his door to spread the news. It's better to be quick, but it's also appropriate, so that no one can see that we did it on purpose. King Chen commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, the slave will do it, and it will be done safely."
King Chen nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhuo Jiu to retreat.
Today is the fifth day of the new year, and the court will start in two days. His "illness" has not been cured for two days. Anyway, it will be delayed for another three or five days, and after the big guys understand his intention to avoid suspicion, they will go to the court. At that time, no one dared to mention the matter of giving vegetables on the first day of the new year. Even the most willing to take refuge can only be treated as if this thing has not happened. Because that's his attitude. If there is a person who has the heart to take refuge in him, it is natural to follow his attitude.
King Chen fell ill due to "overwork", which itself is a matter of concern in Kyoto City, and those who have a heart measure the opportunity to watch, and those who have no heart just watch for fun. The fact that Rong Qing went to King Chen's Mansion to see his son-in-law, but was rejected by his son-in-law, quickly spread.
What people with a heart heard was King Chen's resoluteness in refusing to see the guests this time, so he naturally didn't dare to come forward to ask for a meeting again. For those who have no heart, it's just a casual conversation after dinner.
A few ministers who had a good relationship with King Chen on weekdays knew that King Chen was closed, so they could only hand over the greeting post and ask King Chen how he was doing, which was also considered to be his heart. Naturally, it was also carefully weighed before doing so. For example, the Ministry of Works, who has had business dealings with King Chen on weekdays, naturally does not express it at all, but it seems too deliberate. But those ministers who had no business dealings with King Chen on weekdays, seeing King Chen's attitude, did not dare to act rashly, and still continued to wait and see.
When the eighth day of the first month opened, King Chen said that he was sick and did not go to the court, and the ministers in the court naturally understood King Chen's attitude and saw that King Chen was deliberately avoiding the limelight.
King Chen, who said that he was ill, delayed for five days, and it was not until the thirteenth day of the first month that he finally came out and showed his face in the court.
In the past few days, he has not been in the court, and he has avoided the most sensitive corruption case in Qufucheng. The emperor dismissed the officials of Qufucheng and ordered them to be escorted back to Beijing and interrogated in Dali Temple. Zhang Gongzi, who was walking in the ministry, was also dismissed, but because he was indeed a person who had been promoted, he just dragged the relationship to buy an official position, and it was not a big crime, so he was just sentenced to be expelled from the capital and no longer allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
This matter seems to be an end.
But King Chen and the crown prince didn't really think that this matter could end there. If the emperor really had the intention of hastily ending this matter, he would not have ordered someone to escort Qufucheng back to Beijing for a detailed trial, just based on this one matter, he directly dismissed his official position, and ordered that he would never be reused, so there was no need to escort him back to Dali Temple.
The emperor let him enter Dali Temple for trial, obviously to find out his other crimes, or those who were implicated with him. If you don't get to the bottom of this matter, you won't give up easily.
Therefore, the emperor must have sent someone to Sanhuai's side. Counting the days, the person sent by the emperor should have arrived. If you work day and night, you may already be on your way back to Kyoto Castle.
It doesn't matter if Qu Fucheng is hard-mouthed, if he bites him to death, it's just that he is greedy for a while, and for the sake of his relatives, he begged the prince to help him arrange it, and the prince will be criticized for being too bad and a good person. But as soon as Cai Sheng was framed, the matter of the prince and Qu Fucheng colluding cannot be justified.
So it just depends on the craftsmen to see if everything can go well. Later, he specially sent Cheng Dazhi to guard it personally, and Dazhi handled things safely, and he thought that it should be fine. Even if the eldest brother jumped over the wall in a hurry, and really used the lowest and lowest strategy, planning to kill people and seal his mouth, Dazhi and they may not suffer a dumb loss. Once the two sides compete, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.
In fact, he was looking forward to his eldest brother dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. If not, he was really worried that even if there was a matter of framing Cai Sheng, it would not be enough to be angry with his father.
Ten days passed after the negligence, late at night, and almost at the same time, a man in black entered the prince's mansion and the palace of the king of Chen, and they all went straight to the place where the master rested. Just one in the yard and one in the tunnel.
"Who?" The guards patrolling in King Chen's mansion spotted the man in black who had suddenly sneaked in.
The man in black lifted his mask and showed his waist card: "It's me, I'm here to reply to His Highness." ”
When the guards saw that it was their own commander, they naturally didn't dare to stop them. I all know that Brother Dazhi was sent out by His Highness to do things. It's just that this matter is very confidential and will not be known to outsiders.
Cheng Dazhi went to Zhaoxian Courtyard to look around, but he didn't see Zhuo Jiu in the room that was originally Zhuo Jiu, so he had to call Yunshang and ask Yunshang to take him to King Chen. After all, it was late at night and quietly entered the house, and there was no communication, so it was too arrogant to go directly to Zhaodeyuan.
Yunshang took Cheng Dazhi, and the two of them carried lanterns and walked briskly towards Zhaode Temple. Yunshang knocked on the door of the backyard, thinking about asking Chu Xia to open the door first.
In the prince's mansion, in the prince's bedroom, there was a sudden sound of gently banging on the wall. Three long and two short, from a small voice, gradually become louder.
The prince woke up suddenly, got up, and went to open the secret door for Weaving Star.
In the past few days, I waited for the news of the stars, and I did not sleep in the courtyard of any beauty, nor did I call someone to serve, but slept alone in the bedroom.
"Your Highness!" As soon as Weaving Star saw the crown prince, before he could stand firmly, he knelt heavily and raised the sword in his hand above his head.
When the prince saw this, his heart sank. He said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" How can this little thing still be messed up? ”
Weaving Star has always been safe, and this time she asked her to take people in person. It's just a matter of killing a few people, so what's so difficult?
