418 The Marquis of Ehou divorced his wife
Gongzi Chong is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old white boy, and his pampered life since he was a child has forged his calm and elegant temperament, and the palace maid has privately praised: "Our little boy is carrying a face like a crown of jade, and Zhilan is like a jade tree."
But today, this handsome young man cried in Mrs. Yi's arms, and his emotions broke down rarely. After a while, he choked up and said, "Why is my father so ruthless? He dotes on his mother so much on weekdays, why did he change his face when the envoy came? Unexpectedly...... Abandon your mother! This...... It's so ruthless!"
"Tarp...... Don't blame your father, he can't have a son!" Mrs. Yi's eyes were swollen like two ripe peaches, but she still patiently comforted her son: "Your uncle killed the king's brother and caused a great disaster, and the Son of Heaven is forcing your father to make a choice. Do you want to be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, or do you collude with your uncle and be a traitor to the Zhou world? Your father and prince are also for the sake of the ancestral inheritance and the people of Hubei, so he has to abandon me!"
Although the silver carp is young, after all, he grew up in the center of power, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he still has a clear understanding of the supremacy of royal power. Although I am sad, I still understand my father's helplessness in my heart, but my mother is really too wronged......
At the end, he raised his hazy teary eyes and asked, "Since my uncle has betrayed Zhou, Wang Shi will definitely go to conquer, the Yibu Mountains are no longer safe, where will my mother be settled when she leaves the Egong Palace?"
"Don't worry." Mrs. Yi stroked her son's back with relief: "Your father still feels sorry for me, after all, he has been married for many years. I'll go to Zaolin Biewan, which is only a hundred miles away from Echeng, and our mother and son will still see each other for a while."
"Hmm." The silver carp nodded solemnly: "Mother takes care of her life, once she has the opportunity, her son will definitely take back his mother, and sooner or later he will fulfill his filial piety."
"As long as my son is well, it doesn't matter what my mother does." Mrs. Yi was in tears again, and all the attendants present were in tears......
At the end of the day, a team of hundreds of chamberlains and guards drove out of the north gate of Hubei City with a palace chariot with a two-color gauze curtain fluttering, looking at the official road in the north. As long as there is no problem with their noses, the people who enter and exit the city gate at dusk can smell the faint burst of fragrant fragrance from the palace car, and they can't help but talk quietly.
"Look! This is the woman who was abandoned by the king, deserved! If it weren't for her, how could the son of the world have not been heard from until now?"
"Our monarch is still a man of understanding, good fellow! Even the Son of Heaven's own brother dares to kill, these Yi people are really bold and unfamiliar wolf cubs! If we don't stop this woman, the city of our country can still withstand several crusades from the king?"
Perhaps he was afraid that the master would be annoyed by hearing these gossips, so he was about to pull off the whip when he suddenly heard Mrs. Yi's firm and clear shout from the car: "Slow! Hugh to whip up, go slowly!"
"Master, but...... These words are so ugly!"
"What if it's ugly? If my heart does not move, I will not move myself, and I will not let the people of Echeng think that Mrs. Ben has fled in the wilderness."
"No!"
The rider admired it, put down the whip, and walked slowly.
The autumn sunset is as colorful as this colorful season, changing colors in the afterglow of the setting sun. However, the blue-gray brick and earth rammed city wall is as quiet and solemn as the edge of a dry well, and like an old man who is about to die, he can no longer straighten his rickety waist. On the city wall, a black figure stood alone in the cowering autumn wind, staring at the caravan of chariots and horses that had become the size of an ant colony in the distance......
I had just seen off my mother, and when I looked up, my father was staring at the city. Somehow, Su Ri's tall figure looked a little rickety today, and the silver carp couldn't help but have a sour nose and involuntarily went up the stone steps.
"Father!" With a clear call, E Yufang's body shook, and he instinctively turned around, and E Chong clearly saw a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of his father's finely lined eyes.
"What did your mother say before she left?" E Yufang's voice trembled a little.
He bowed deeply: "The mother knew that the father's divorce was the persecution of the king's envoy, but she was helpless, and she did not complain to the father, and asked her son to take care of his father's body more."
"Tarpon, ......" E Yufang raised his face, as if he wanted to let the cold wind of the evening bring coolness to his chaotic mind
"Do you resent your father?"
"The son and the mother have the same roots, and they cannot and will not blame the father."
E Yufang heard a little unwillingness from his son's voice, and said with a wry smile: "Chong'er, do you know that in fact, your mother has another choice, she can not leave the E Palace, not to leave you."
"What?" The tarpon raised its head in surprise: "What choice? If you can do both, why does your mother have to leave the palace?"
"Wang Shu has an order, the Yi people rebelled, and since the country of Hu is a minister of Zhou, the daughter of a traitor cannot be the wife of the family surnamed E. In other words, as long as your mother can give up the position of the main lady and be demoted to the second concubine, she can still continue to stay in the palace. But she refused without thinking about it."
"Mother, why is this?" The silver carp was puzzled.
"Why? It's not for you!" E Yufang looked directly into his son's eyes, and his tone was very firm: "If your mother is demoted to the second concubine, you will become the son of a concubine, and the widow has a total of six sons. On the contrary, even if your mother is abandoned, you can still be counted as the son of a descendant, and you are the first candidate for the throne after Kun'er. Your mother is for you! Silly son, do you understand?"
The silver carp rushed to the head of the city in a few steps, looking at the direction of the carriage to the north, where could I still see a trace? I couldn't help but feel sad: "It turns out that my mother is all for me! I'm the one who caused her to leave...... Mother, why bother? As long as our mother and son stay together, what does it matter if we don't do it?"
"You can't say that!" There was a bit of sternness in E Yufang's tone: "How can the son of a monarch only love the love of his children and not have the ambition of a bird? From today onwards, you should study Wen Taowu and study the national politics with your heart. Tomorrow, the widow will sue the temple to worship his ancestors and officially make you the son of the country!"
"Father!" The tarpon was a little confused: "Why is there such a hurry?"
"For the father, I want to go to the palace of Rushui with the king's envoy to meet the Son of Heaven, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and after the widow leaves, you will be the son of the prison country!"
"Father!" The tarpon grabbed his father's sleeve in fear: "You can't go! The Son of Heaven is angry, and he will definitely be angry with his father. What if, in case, ...... mother has left the palace and I don't know when we will see each other, what will he do if he loses his father again?
