Chapter 262
This year's winter came early and cold, and when there was nothing to do, most people were reluctant to step out of the house.
Xiao Qian is no exception.
When the people in the palace arrived at the Seven Princes' Mansion, he was wearing brocade clothes and drinking with several staff. His appearance is inherited from Concubine Li, which is already very outstanding. At this time, he was wrapped in a mink fur, and his face was like a crown of jade, and his demeanor was graceful.
Hearing the emperor's announcement, Xiao Qian didn't dare to delay and hurriedly got up. Then he asked, "My father called me at this time, but what is the matter?" ”
The one who came to the Seven Princes' Mansion was a personal attendant of the emperor, who was the same age as the emperor and had always been trusted by the emperor. The chamberlain looked left and right, and Xiao Qian raised his hand, "It's okay, none of the outsiders here." ”
Several staff members had already stood up to one side.
Because they have not yet been crowned princes, the princes are secretly competing and have raised a lot of customers. Since Xiao Qian said so, the chamberlain was relieved and said in a low voice: "Today, the emperor has received disaster reports from many places one after another, and the snow situation in various places is serious. His Majesty also selected two Shangshu, as well as two royal highnesses, the second prince and the fifth prince.
"Oh?"
Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows, both happy and a little unwilling in his heart.
At this time, announcing their entry into the palace must be related to disaster relief. It has always been a rule that if there is a major disaster, the court must select officials to go to the disaster area to provide disaster relief on behalf of the emperor, one is to inspect whether the disaster relief is appropriate, and the other is to appease the people. Generally speaking, if there is a prince, the emperor will often hand over this prestige-enhancing business to the prince who values it.
Although disaster relief is hard, what is it compared to the fame that can be accumulated among the people later?
But, how did the father call the second and fifth children too?
The second child is also okay, but he is the queen's sister-in-law. Although Xiao Qian was extremely reluctant, he had to admit that Xiao Kun was actually the most suitable candidate.
But what's going on with the fifth Xiao Mo? It can't be said that the biological mother is just a palace person, and she climbed onto the dragon bed while the emperor was drunk, and only after giving birth to the five princes did she become a beauty. Last year, the beauty died of illness, and it was impossible to see the emperor before she died, but she was buried according to the concubine after her death. Xiao Mo, as his name suggests, has been unknown since he was a child. If you didn't deliberately look for it, who would have known that there was a fifth prince?
At this time, Xiao Mo was suddenly called, could it be that his father wanted to reuse him?
Thinking that he had not been as blue-eyed as the second prince in front of the emperor recently, and that he had killed a fifth prince out of thin air, Xiao Gan's brows furrowed tightly.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty can wait, let's hurry up?"
Because the chamberlain is the emperor's confidant, he is also very decent in front of the princes. Looking at the already dark sky outside, he couldn't help but urge.
Xiao Qian was not annoyed, ordered the staff to disperse, and hurried to the palace with the attendants.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I happened to see the two princes and the five princes who came together. Xiao Qian's heart was blocked again.
"Your Highness must not be capricious. The second prince and the fifth prince are brothers in the end. The chamberlain reminded.
Xiao Qian was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered that this was the gate of the palace, and his every move might be transmitted to his father, and there could never be a fork in the slightest.
He hurriedly got out of the car, and with such a kung fu, Xiao Kun and Xiao Mo had already come down. Xiao Mo laughed loudly: "Seventh brother." ”
Compared with Xiao Qian and Xiao Kun, Xiao Mo's appearance is not too good, and it can even be said to be a little ordinary. Xu is because he likes to read since he was a child, and Xiao Mo has a kind of gentleness and elegance unique to a reader. At a glance, it is not inferior to a brother and a brother.
Xiao Qian took a step slower, and was even more dissatisfied with Xiao Mo, but he was able to barely keep a smile, "Second brother, fifth brother." Or if you live close, you can come together. ”
The second prince didn't laugh, but said in a deep voice: "Let's go in first." ”
The three brothers entered the palace together, the emperor had moved to the Qinzheng Palace, and the two Shangshu had also arrived. When they entered the door, the three of them felt a warm breath rushing to their faces, and they couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
They were all princes, and when such weather came out, the carriage was covered with thick felt, blankets and braziers, and the road did not feel cold. But after entering the palace, except for the emperor, no one can take a sedan chair, and the road from the palace gate to the Qinzheng Palace is a little miserable.
Look at the two Shangshu, they are also dishes with a face.
Seeing that the emperor's face was really not good, the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything else, so they saluted together.
The emperor didn't say anything else, only threw down a few folds, "Let's take a look." ”
The two Shangshu and the three princes can only deign to pick it up in person at this juncture. After opening it, it is not surprising that it is a disaster report.
Tobe Shangshu's mouth was bitter. If there is a disaster, the imperial court will have to provide disaster relief, and the household department will have to pay for it. Things seem simple, but, where does the money come from?
In the past two years, more and more disasters have been reported in various places. In the summer, there was a flood in the south and a drought in the north, and I thought that I should take a breath in the winter, but who knew that the first snow had not been encountered in decades, and disasters were everywhere! Even in the suburbs of Beijing, people froze to death, and it is conceivable that they are in other places.
The silver in the treasury is far from enough!
"Let's talk about it." The emperor's dragon chair came incorrectly, but no one can say that he is not a good emperor. On the contrary, he took the throne from his eldest brother, and this emperor always knew how many eyes were staring at him, comparing him with the previous emperor. He has also been holding back this anger, and he is determined to compete with his eldest brother, and after the big trip in the future, he will ask his father the emperor, whether the eldest brother who is poor and martial is more suitable to be the emperor, or whether he is more popular with the people!
Fengyi Palace.
Empress Shen sat in the warm pavilion, frowning, "There is still a fifth child?" ”
Her fingers wearing long gold armor slowly slid over the lotus pattern on the hand stove, "I heard that this journey, he is really a little showy in front of His Majesty?" ”
"Niangniang, be cautious!"
Mama Cheng glanced at the palace maids in the warm pavilion, all of whom were Su Ri's henchmen, and then persuaded in a low voice, "You can't say this casually." ”
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the five princes are in the limelight in front of the emperor, and the queen can actually know. To put it more seriously, that is to peep into the court, and no one will object to the emperor after he is abolished.
You must know that today's emperor has no patience for the queen mother.
Empress Shen smiled indifferently, "You're too careful. If I can't say a word happily in this Fengyi Palace, then this day will not pass. ”
"Ah Cheng, when you go to the Shen family, you say that the fifth child is now older and has his own plans. Tell them to watch it. ”
Mama Cheng has been a confidant for many years, and she was also shocked by Queen Shen's words. The queen mother, she is going to ......
"!" Mama Cheng exclaimed, "You, you have to think twice!" ”
The princes fought for that position, it was nothing, and maybe even the emperor would be happy to see it. The dragon chair is inhabited by those who are capable.
As the empress, she is the mother-in-law of all princes. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, she will be the queen mother. Of course, the premise is that she can live longer than the emperor.
But right now, she is going to drag the entire Shen family to jump into the fire pit!
If it is not good, not only Queen Shen, but also the Shen family, will be buried together!
Mama Cheng was drenched in cold sweat and her face was pale, if it really came to that time, what would happen to her, who had been by Queen Shen's side for many years?
She couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help but look at Empress Shen.
Empress Shen's face was solemn, and her eyes were lowered, so that people could not see her emotions clearly. Apricot yellow embroidered phoenix clothes, cloud shoulders are very gorgeous, the head is inserted with nine large phoenix hairpins that only the queen can wear, there are three tails on both sides of the sideburns trembling and towering, and the Hepu pearl in the phoenix mouth is shining. The whole person is noble and extraordinary, but it gives people a gloomy and gloomy feeling.
"Why don't you go yet?" Empress Shen raised her eyes in displeasure. The sight was like a poisonous snake.
Mama Cheng hurriedly lowered her head and said respectfully: "Yes, the slave will go as soon as possible." It's just that today, I'm afraid the palace gate has been closed. ”
"Then I'll go early tomorrow." Empress Shen waved her hand and told her to go out.
Mama Cheng bowed and withdrew, and only after leaving Fengyi Palace did she breathe a long sigh of relief. A cold wind blew, and she tightened her clothes. Looking back at the Fengyi Palace shrouded in the gloomy twilight, he only felt that it looked like a monster with a big mouth open.
What to do? The Shen family, if you don't go, Queen Shen will be able to press herself to death. But go, in case the five princes ......
Standing at the gate of Fengyi Palace and hesitating for a long time, Mama Cheng finally thought of someone. Her eyes lit up and she strode towards Shen Hui's palace.
