Chapter 32: The Town of Ghosts
Emperor Yongchang looked at this third son, and his heart was full of mixed emotions. Diaphragm
Among the sons, in addition to the first prince, he actually did not particularly favor anyone, the first prince is his sister-in-law and eldest son, he grew up in his arms since he was a child, at that time he was not the emperor, just the prince of the palace, the eldest son is naturally the noble.
When the remaining sons were born, he was already busy following the first emperor to revolt, and when he was young, he had little contact, and when he grew up, he naturally became a little less close.
】
What's more, the sons, except for the King of Qi, are all ambitious.
He raised an eyebrow: "You can see it quite clearly." ”
King Zhou told the truth in front of his father: "There is no way, people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky, and the matter of the Buddha statue in Huangjue Temple is almost planted on the head of the son." Erchen is really scared, so it is naturally better to be cautious in everything. ”
Emperor Yongchang snorted and asked vigorously: "You know about the fourth child this time, right?" ”
King Zhou nodded: "I heard about it, but I don't dare to ask blindly." "Ahh
"You go to the imperial mausoleum, and there are several groups of people, but they are all busy and chaotic." Emperor Yongchang rubbed his eyebrows: "You are more secure, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”
King Zhou was a little surprised, everyone knew that the relationship between him and King Lu was not very good, and now Emperor Yongchang handed over this matter to him, but it was not easy to refuse.
He scratched his head, stood up and said yes.
When he turned around and was about to leave, Emperor Yongchang stopped him again: "These days, why haven't you seen your daughter-in-law enter the palace?" ”
King Zhou suddenly thought of the matter of the ninth princess, and after a pause, he whispered: "The matter of Xiao Jiu..... She herself is not in good health, and she is sick again when she sees the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time, I still insisted on following Erchen. ”
Emperor Yongchang didn't say more, and waved his hand at him: "If you want someone to follow you, you can pick it yourself, only one, and the matter will be done for me!" ”
King Zhou responded, since they had already entered the palace, they also had to go to the palace of the Empress Dowager and Empress Shao. Diaphragm
Princess Zhou accompanied the Empress Dowager Cui in the palace.
Empress Dowager Cui is her aunt, the two have a blood connection, naturally they look a little closer than other grandchildren and daughters-in-law, as soon as they saw Cui's, Empress Dowager Cui frowned: "Why are you thin again?" You princess did it, I don't know, I thought that Zhou Wangfu couldn't eat enough! ”
Cui Shi coughed a few times and cried and laughed: "I was born like this, and I can't help it." You still say that what about me, aren't you also thin? ”
Empress Dowager Cui was too lazy to talk about her, and when she saw that she diverted the topic, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Yesterday, the mourning family saw your second sister-in-law." ”
Cui Shi stretched out his hand to help Empress Dowager Cui peel oranges, and when he heard this, he sighed: "I have also been there, and what I said is nothing more than asking us to take the opportunity to do something, I don't sound like it, and it is perfunctory." Later, the second brother also came to find the prince and asked the prince not to worry about her. ”
These two people really can't get along.
It's just that I've been so screwed all these years, but I still have to continue to screw. Diaphragm
How could Empress Dowager Cui not feel sorry for her nephew? She frowned: "Your second sister-in-law, I really don't know what to say about her, if she goes on like this, sooner or later things will get worse." ”
Cui Shi handed the orange to the Queen Mother and sighed with him on the side.
But it's hard to say anything other than sighing.
It is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage.
What's more, Lian's temperament is too extreme, if you really persuade her to separate from Cui Moting, I'm afraid that she will have to bite you when she turns her head.
The two sat for a while before Empress Dowager Cui mentioned the matter of King Lu.
She narrowed her eyes: "The movement is so loud, but the result must be thunder and rain, you must not be breathless." "Ahh
"We all know that." Cui's heart was clear, and he explained in a low voice: "It's just that he is making such a fuss, I'm afraid that he will follow ...... That's what he is. ”
In fact, the fiefdoms of the vassal kings were determined early.
King Lu's fief was in Shandong.
King Zhou's fief was in Fujian.
It's just that King Lu and King Zhou led troops to fight before, and Emperor Yongchang had too few sons, so he didn't want to let his son out too early after the early death of the first prince, so the two princes didn't go to the domain.
It's just that as long as you are an adult vassal king, how can there be someone who doesn't want to be a vassal king?
If you can sit firmly in the East Palace in the capital, it will naturally be good. Diaphragm
But if not, then the fiefdom is the real place where the dragon enters the sea and shows its magical powers.
If King Lu came out of the imperial tomb, he was afraid that he would ask to go to the fief.
Empress Dowager Cui patted her on the shoulder: "It's just a matter of time or time, if he wants to go to the domain, you must go." It's just that after you go to the fiefdom, you have to rely on everything yourself, so you have to take care. ”
"The prince has been looking forward to it for a long time." Princess Zhou's voice was a little low: "I have actually thought about it before, since the saint has never intended to make a prince, then naturally he should do his own thing; Staying in the capital will only sharpen his fighting spirit, and instead of wasting a good time, it is better to go to the fiefdom to make a career. ”
After a pause, she whispered again: "What's more, now the queen mother also looks at us unpleasantly, the matter of the Huangjue Temple, if the queen mother is completely coincidental to be the person who knocked down the Buddha statue, I don't believe it." Under the pretext of praying for Xiao Jiu, he actually wanted to dig a big pit for us with King Lu. If it weren't for Liu Guangzheng's secret fold, we would only be afraid that we would already be in the Zongren Mansion at this time. ”
Empress Dowager Cui didn't like Empress Shao.
The previous queen started from the princess, and she has always been respectful and sincere in front of her, and she is a very kind person. Diaphragm
In comparison, Queen Shao is too shrewd.
Shrewd and outwardly exposed, sometimes very unlikable.
So even if Empress Shao is the adoptive mother of King Zhou, Empress Dowager Cui has always been surging towards him.
Now hearing Cui Shi say this, Empress Dowager Cui's face inevitably has some ridicule: "She is too greedy, she wants everything, and she is not satisfied after asking for it, she is Xiao Jiu, and she is also indulged in the sky and the earth, which is really annoying!" ”
In Empress Dowager Cui's opinion, a princess should have the appearance of a princess, even if she is arrogant, it is actually harmless, but the ninth princess is not only arrogant, but also domineering and selfish, such a child is very unlikeable.
It is terrible for a person who wants everything, but does not know his identity.
After all, Empress Shao is an elder, and the Cui family naturally can't say that she is not like the Queen Mother, so she just lowered her eyes: "We have already discussed ......"
As he was talking, someone from the palace came to report that the queen had arrived.
Empress Dowager Cui frowned: "Her movements are fast." ”
