Chapter 22 Catching Turtles in the Urn
Yan Du didn't feel the suffering at all, nor did he feel that the atmosphere of the frontier had stiffened. They were all immersed in the joy of lifting their sons and Dengke, and those who fell off the list were also taken away by Yandu's recent happy events.
First of all, the wedding of Xuan Pingbo and the princess of Nanguo, and then the joy of the general of Zhennan and the lord of Liujing, Tanhualang received the official position after receiving Zhaozhou's fiancΓ©e into Beijing.
When Lin Huchen stepped into Yandu, he was almost blinded by the red silk flashing all over the city, Le Ma looked left and right, and finally found Xie Songzhao and his party who were a little green in the ten thousand flowers, and teased: "This new Dengke list is a red sleeve every night, Songzhao, envy?" β
Xie Song glanced at him and said: "People are husbands and women, the fun of mountains and rivers is morning and twilight, and the court will never give up." I am the sour plum branch under the eaves, which adds spice to people. β
Dou Siyuan touched Shuofeng, he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't wait to take it home, Lin Huchen said: "Former Tanhualang, how beautiful are your concubines?" β
Dou Siyuan was full of horses: "Lin Shuai, if you are willing to marry Shuofeng to me, let alone a concubine, even if you marry me as a wife." β
Meng sent a message to the back of his head, and said: "It's not serious, we are here to pick up the general, but we are standing on this street and talking cannons, and Lord Youqing is not ashamed." β
Dou Siyuan said: "No shame, no shame, no shame!" I'm going crazy! Don't say that I want to marry Shuofeng, even if Shuofeng marries me, it's no problem! β
The group was stunned in place, forgetting to answer, Gu Mingchao said: "I hope that Lord Youqing before Dou Shangshu also has such courage." β
Dou Siyuan suddenly bowed his head.
The next day, Hanyuan Palace.
Lin Huchen knelt in the center, and truthfully reported the attack on Nanjun, Chen Liu's failure to leave Wang Feng's head, so he came to Yandu to ask for guilt.
Emperor Chengde neither had a yin and yang weirdness, nor was he angry, he just said flatly: "The general has worked hard, it just so happens that Yandu has had a lot of happy events recently, so you might as well handle the marriage between you and Yun Wan." β
The court was quiet, but Lin Huchen didn't feel the lord's deference from it, only a creepy sense of absurdity. It's as if there is something under the surface of prosperity that is gathering strength, looking for an opening, trying to break through the ground and change the day.
Zhengyang Palace.
"Thank you for your concern, the minister and his wife are all right." Wen Nanqi always stood half a step in front of Jun Ping, no matter who threw the question, Wen Nanqi replied properly.
Jun Ping thought of the wedding night for a while, Wen Nanqi said to her: "I am an idler in Yandu, and I am fortunate to be married to the princess today, so I have to explain one or two words." β
Junping thought at the time, why was he so gentle, and almost thought that this gentleness was for her.
Wen Nanqi poured a pair of wine, slowly pushed it over, and said: "The meaning of the princess and relatives is really known to passers-by, and Wen is no exception. β
As soon as Jun Ping was about to refute, Wen Nanqi continued with a gentle and unrefusable attitude: "Princess Qianchen, I don't know, and I don't bother to explore, but now that the princess has married me and become Mrs. Xuanpingbo, I ask Mrs. to always keep in mind the more than 300 people in my Xuanpingbo Mansion and Mother's Mansion." β
Wen Nanqi thoughtfully poured a cup of hangover tea, put it in Jun Ping's hand, and continued: "Mother doesn't need to worry about morning and dusk, if your mother embarrasses you, you can tell me, I will handle it properly, and you must not ......."
Jun Ping said: "Filial piety is great, I understand. β
Wen Nanqi smiled bitterly: "Filial piety? No, you don't have to play the role of mother and son, I will go to accompany my mother to eat on the fifteenth day of every month. Alas, I was pulled away by you, and I just wanted to say that if you contradict her, a filial piety word can kill you, and Anyang is beyond the reach of Yan. β
Jun Ping said: "Just because I am your wife, you treat me so gently?" β
Wen Nanqi was puzzled: "Gentle? I treat everyone like that. But you are my wife, naturally there must be a difference, in Yandu, I can still protect you well. β
The soft crackling of the lamp and candle exploded in Junping's heart, and her violently beating heart slowly calmed down. This is a living and cruel life, not love at first sight in the excerpts. She held up her knighthood and said, "I've written it down." β
Wen Nanqi looked at her and said slowly: "If Madame does something rebellious in the future, please don't implicate my house in the name of the princess." β
Jun Ping couldn't help but sigh when he heard these cruel words, Wen Nanqi was really gentle, but his gentleness was not difficult to get, easy to get...... There is really no need to cherish it.
Suddenly, someone led her hand to the side, Jun Ping suddenly came back to her senses, Wen Nanqi's thoughtfulness was everywhere, like a fragrant jacket in the tent wrapped her.
Jiang Ning took Lu Ruofang forward to bow down, and the queen comforted Mrs. Lu: "You can rest assured, just stay away." We're visiting the clouds...... Pampered tightly, I was afraid that they would quarrel in the future. β
Mrs. Lu heard this and hurriedly comforted her: "Lin Shizi......"
"Rest assured, the minister will definitely let the princess and never quarrel with the princess." Lin Huchen put down the tea in his hand and got up.
Xie Songzhao was shocked by his sudden standing up, and a mouthful of tea stalked in his heart, and his cough was earth-shattering. Lin Huchen slapped him behind and almost slapped him out of breath.
The people in the hall laughed from ear to ear, and after laughing, they began to worry about Xie Songzhao's marriage.
Xie Songzhao hurriedly said: "Isn't there a girl of the right age in this Yandu?" β
The queen smiled: "That's naturally a lot, but it's just worthy of you...... It's hard to find. β
Xie Songzhao said indifferently: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away." β
After everyone dispersed, Xie Songzhao took Gu Mingchao to the side hall to wait.
What they want is not only to accumulate a lot, but also to force Emperor Chengde to make a move and create an opportunity, whether it is far-fetched or not, they only need one opportunity. All the sons have been settled, and at the end of this crucial moment, Emperor Chengde actually fell silent. Lin Huchen is back, this step is an accident, but it is also a bargaining chip.
South County, Dungeon.
Li Wucian counted every meal and counted the days, and no one in the prison would come except for the food deliverer, and he was about to drive him crazy quietly.
"Thirty-fourth day......" Li Wucian licked his cracked lips, suppressing the madness that was about to sweep away his reason, and stuffed the food into his throat little by little.
Suddenly, a warm candlelight came in, and Li Wucian raised his head sluggishly, it was Yin Xianglan.
Yin Xianglan looked at Li Wucian with her sleeves and said, "General Li, do you know what day it is?" β
Li Wucian listened to the voice he hadn't seen for a long time, as if he had returned to the world, and when the echo in the prison stopped, he stretched out his hoarse throat and said, "The day I came in was the second day of the second month of the second month of your Great Zhou solar calendar, and the fourth day of the third month of the solar calendar. Today, it's exactly thirty-four days. April 7 of the solar calendar ......"
Yin Xianglan smiled: "It seems that the general is doing well, but... You miscalculated, I don't give you the right time to eat, for example, there are only two hours between morning and noon today, and there will be three hours between the next time. General Li, have you figured it out? β
Li Wucian stared at her deadly, and a roar came out of his throat: "Why don't you kill me?" Why? The general should return the horse leather shroud! β
Yin Xianglan approached the cell and said softly, "Because ...... I am ready to rebel against you. β
Li Wucian raised his head and laughed, his voice like a wooden pull: "Impossible!" I tell you, no way! β
Yin Xianglan left a sentence, then let's see.
The cell was once again in the abyss, with only damp dead grass, itchy rashes, and an eerie silence that drove people crazy. He has lost the concept of time and his grasp of his own value.
Yandu Palace.
Emperor Chengde no longer lived in Zhengyang Palace, and the queen asked him to move him to Jingren Palace before Concubine Shu's death. There is still blood vomited by Changle, Concubine Shu didn't let people clean it before, and after she went, this Jingren Palace was empty, and the blood became brown and stayed there, and Emperor Chengde shouted disgust when he saw it when he first moved in.
The queen approached step by step: "Disgusting? This is the sin of you, a father! Changle died here, Ah Zheng said that Changle was lonely, so you should accompany her here and do your duty as a father. β
As soon as I arrived at Jingren Palace, I saw layers of cobwebs, and I thought I had arrived at Pansi Cave in a trance.
Emperor Chengde leaned on the Luohan bed with blank eyes, Xie Songzhao poured a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, the minister seems to be very uncomfortable with your life here. β
Emperor Chengde didn't seem to see him, just drank tea and was silent.
Xie Songzhao stretched out his hand to clasp the teacup, poured the tea and poured it for him, and said, "Your Majesty, is this tea delicious?" β
Emperor Chengde seemed to be extremely tired, closing his eyelids and tilting his head.
Xie Songzhao continued without any concern: "Your Majesty, you have no regrets, since you have come out, you can't shrink back." β
Emperor Chengde suddenly opened his eyes and said: "I am Emperor Chunhua, not Emperor Chengde, I am the emperor, whose virtue is it?" β
Xie Songzhao sneered: "It's been nine years, has anyone questioned it?" Does anyone still remember the first year of Chunhua? If you haven't been supported for more than 10 years, isn't that a stepping stone? β
Emperor Chengde's eyes turned red for a moment, and he said softly: "I was sincere in asking to marry your aunt back then. β
Xie Songzhao was unmoved: "Your Majesty, the loving couple is just a beauty when they turn against each other." His Majesty's sincerity is open to debate. β
Emperor Chengde looked at him, his eyes full of resentment: "Xie Songzhao, are you here to force me to abdicate today?" β
Xie Songzhao smiled and said: "Shh~ Your Majesty, this is a big rebellion, and the minister can't afford it." If Your Majesty wants to meditate... That's excellent. β
The crown prince is not only weak, but also trapped in the ritual religion, and cannot take this step. If you go outside, you must first settle inside, Nanguo, Chen Guo has already stretched out his hand, how can he deter them if he doesn't see blood? Emperor Chengde abdicated, and the crown prince ascended the throne to stabilize Yandu, so that they could free up their hands to compete with the enemy.
Emperor Chengde repeated Xie Songzhao's words: "It's a great rebellion... So you know it's a big rebellion...... Forcing me to take the Zen position, do you think the prince can tolerate you? Later generations of history books must stay a minister! β
Xie Songzhao spilled the cold tea in front of Emperor Chengde, and continued it, his expression as if he was listening to a play.
