Chapter 165: Kyoto
Li Mazi and other soldiers from Liangzhou passed through the foreign territory south of Chiwu County, and did not pass through Yongzhou, and on the seventh day after setting off from Liangzhou, they finally arrived outside Kyoto.
Li Mazi looked at the majestic city tower and glanced at his brothers.
The weather was hot, even if the ice was put in, it melted halfway through, and the heads of Cheng You and Xiao Minghuan had already changed a little, and they also emitted a disgusting smell.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the guards of the Kyoto Castle Tower opened the castle gate, they found a high platform hidden in the darkness.
Li Mazi and his men built a high platform with stones in the middle of the night, and on top of the high platform were placed two boxes containing heads, and a piece of writing was spread out on the pole erected in the wind.
The text was written by Wan Zhijing, Xiao Feng felt that it was too much after reading it, and after Xia Feng polished it, Wang Shu, the dog-headed military advisor, changed it again, and reading it throughout would give people a sense of indecency.
Emperor Jian'an's biological mother Sui'er is a cheap maid who betrays the lord to seek glory and the civet cat for the prince, and Emperor Jian'an is a pig and dog who is unfilial and unkind, wolf-hearted, dog-hearted, and blood-unknown.
At the end of the inscription is Xiao Feng, the king of Qi.
The words were fierce throughout the text, and the soldiers who came to investigate were a little weak after reading them, and saw that the kraft paper pasted on the two boxes was written "the new Liangzhou Mu" and "the third prince" respectively, and the smell of rancid smell wafted out after the soldiers opened the boxes.
The soldier immediately threw up, and he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly turned around and went back to the guard.
After guarding the future, he ordered someone to put away his head, and the text was torn off, and he was ready to report to Jing Zhaoyin.
Although the inscription at the gate of the city was taken away, Li Mazi did not only post the inscription here, but also on the avenues and trails entering Beijing, which had been plastered by them.
In the magnificent and solemn palace, some people are proud and some are worried.
A month ago, the concubine of King Qianrui secretly gave birth to a baby boy in the palace, and Emperor Jian'an was overjoyed, and the baby was given to the king before the baby was full of moon.
However, such a small baby could not bear this blessing, and before the full moon, the baby inhaled catkins and other debris in the nose, and the baby died before the full moon.
Concubine Lai's crying liver and intestines were broken, Emperor Jian'an killed a large number of palace people, which of the people walking in the palace was not careful recently, for fear that his head would move if he was not careful.
Emperor Jian'an's body is not as good as before, and this time he has been hit for a few days.
The rebellion of King Su has not been resolved, Liangzhou is not very stable, and the place where the government decree is issued is not as smooth as before, and the country of Emperor Jian'an is terrifying. If King Rui has a bloodline, it is good that Emperor Jian'an will at least not collapse.
In the Yufu Palace, Concubine Chen Shu, who was dressed in a light-colored dress, was lying on the chaise longue chair, and her face was very haggard recently.
Queen Wang and Concubine Wan died one after another, which made Concubine Chen Shufei unable to raise her fighting spirit, until King Shun died in Liangzhou, and Concubine Chen Shufei cried and broke her liver and intestines.
Or Princess Shun took the child into the palace every day to comfort her, and reminded Chen Shufei of the heir of King Rui, and only after Chen Shufei relieved herself did she try to kill the baby who was not yet a month old.
If Emperor Jian'an hadn't sent King Shun to Liangzhou, her son would not have died there, and her body has not been transported back yet. Concubine Chen thought that this time was the same as last time, her son was not dead, but unfortunately, the person who came back to deliver the letter was very sure that King Shun was dead.
Her son died, how could the unpredictable Emperor Jian'an be happy?
Chen Shufei looked at the vase on the table without focus, and she still hasn't completely recovered from the grief of losing her beloved son.
"Grandmother."
Princess Shun took her own pair of children into the Yufu Palace, and the cries of her grandchildren brought Concubine Chen Shu back to her senses.
"Mother, take care of your body, even for the sake of your grandchildren." Princess Shun looked worried.
"Grandmother is thin again." Princess Shun's daughter, Lord Yi'an, took a piece of pastry and fed it to Concubine Chen Shu.
Chen Shufei finally showed a slight smile on her face and touched the heads of her two grandchildren.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said some thoughtful words again, and the atmosphere was more harmonious, Princess Shun said: "My father and the emperor have been in poor health recently, and the mother should take Hao'er and Yi'an to take a look. ”
Princess Shun said softly, Concubine Chen Shu's expression was no longer good-looking, and after letting her aunt in the palace take the child down, Concubine Chen Shufei slapped Princess Shun in the face.
Princess Shun shouted in disbelief: "Mother! ”
Concubine Chen Shufei snorted: "My son's death, do you feel the slightest bit sad?" Before his bones were cold, you planned for Hao'er wholeheartedly! ”
Princess Shun knelt on the ground and cried and said: "The mother concubine has wronged her daughter-in-law, after the husband goes, the daughter-in-law can't sleep at night, but there is still a pair of husband's children, shouldn't the daughter-in-law think about them?" What the husband wants, the mother also knows, why is it slumping at this time? ”
Princess Shun cried a little, which made Concubine Chen Shu, who had been uncertain recently, look a little soothed.
She stood up and said, "That's it, you wipe your face clean, and take the child to Zichen Hall with me." ”
Princess Shun lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned in response.
The four of them arrived at the Zichen Hall in a sedan chair, and Li Fu stepped forward.
"Your Majesty has not seen anyone in the near future." Li Fu said respectfully.
Concubine Chen Shufei took her grandson's hand and said: "Father-in-law may wish to go in and report it, this palace can not go in, but Hao'er and Yi'an miss the emperor's grandfather, or let the two of them go in to meet Shengyan, Your Majesty may be happy." ”
Li Fuzheng wanted to refuse, so the commander of the forbidden army guarding the palace gate came to report that Jing Zhaoyin had something important to see.
The commander of the forbidden army whispered a few words secretly in Li Fu's ear, and Concubine Chen Shufei was close, and when she heard a few key words, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Li Fu couldn't take care of her anymore, and hurriedly entered the hall.
Princess Shun looked at Concubine Chen Shu hesitantly, and Concubine Chen Shu said, "Let's go back first." ”
has been up and down in the palace for many years, and Concubine Chen Shu's vigilance is still very high.
In the Zichen Palace, the smell of ambergris is very strong, and Emperor Jian'an described it as lying on the bright yellow dragon couch with a withered face, coughing from time to time.
"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin asks to see you."
With the help of the palace maid, Emperor Jian'an got up and sat down, his eyes were swollen, his eye sockets were deep, and his words were full of twilight, "What's the alarm?" ”
Li Fu hesitated and said: "The King of Qi sent the heads of General Cheng and the Third Highness, and the generals who defended the city found out when they opened the city gate..."
Li Fu completely laid out what happened outside the city tower in the morning.
Li Fu raised his eyebrows lightly, and saw Emperor Jian'an spurting out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight down.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty", Li Fu was shocked and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor.
More than half an hour later, Emperor Jian'an woke up faintly under the needle of the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Your Majesty must not work hard to hurt your mind, otherwise, otherwise..."
He couldn't say the rest of the story.
