Chapter 326: Massacre
At that time, in the imperial study of the Chengguang Palace, the emperor was reviewing the folds.
At this time, Sun Kui walked in lightly.
"Your Majesty, it's time, it's time for you to rest."
When the emperor heard this, he was slightly startled, and immediately raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat hoarse tone:
"What's the time?"
"It's time." Sun Kui saw that there was a thick exhaustion between the emperor's eyebrows, and said with distress in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you have to rest well and take care of the dragon body." "Since the emperor proposed the imperial examination, he has been busy, often busy until midnight, and only sleeps two hours a day. If the emperor continues to survive like this, the dragon body will definitely not be able to withstand it.
After Sun Kui finished speaking, seeing that the emperor was indifferent, he thought about it and decided to move out of Concubine Liang.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liang told the slave maid to remind you to rest."
When the emperor heard the words "Liang Concubine", he immediately raised his head from the fold and squinted at Sun Kui slightly.
Sun Kui's heart chilled slightly. He stubbornly continued: "Concubine Liang really ordered the slave maid like this, if you don't believe it, you can ask Concubine Liang." ”
"The slave will walk with you." Sun Kui followed behind the emperor and asked with a shy face, "Your Majesty, where do you want to go, do you want to go to the Kunde Palace?" When the words "Kunde Palace" were spoken, Sun Kui's tone was very ambiguous.
Zheng Xilin did not immerse himself in the pain of losing Mr. Meng for a long time, and was busy preparing for the future with Zhao Yao.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Sun Kui did not dare to speak anymore and stood quietly behind the emperor.
"Third uncle, we're leaving, what about you?" Zhao Yao asked, "Are you going to leave right away, or are you staying in Jinling?" ”
A moment ago, Mr. Meng woke up from his slumber, and his spirit suddenly became very good, sweeping away the fatigue and haggard of this period of time, and restoring his pre-illness complexion.
"Your Highness, whose world do you think this world is?"
Zhao Yao and Zheng Xilin knew that Mr. Meng was returning to glory, and he couldn't last long.
Although they had long known that Mr. Meng would leave, when Mr. Meng really left, Zhao Yao and Zheng Xilin were still grief-stricken.
"Your Majesty, you see that the moonlight is so good tonight." Although it is not a full moon tonight, the moonlight is extremely gentle, "Your Majesty, you see that there are so many stars tonight." ”
Sun Kui said with a flattering smile: "The slave doesn't dare to fake the tiger, it was really Concubine Liang who instructed the slave and maid." ”
Zhang He glanced at Chu Huan, who was full of worry, raised his hand and smashed him with his elbow, and said, "With the boss here, even if there is danger, it will be fine." ”
The people of the entire Jinling City mourned for Mr. Meng, and every household hung up white sails.
"Okay, I'll tell you more about it then."
Song Jicai asked curiously, "Boss, shall we go down the mountain to live in the guest house in Jinling?" ”
Zhao Yao said very obediently: "We'll leave right away." ”
After Zhao Yao and the others arrived at the Liang family's house in Jinling, they were busy washing and eating.
Zheng Xilin urged: "Hurry up and pack your things and leave." ”
"The scheming and methods of the Ten Highnesses are even deeper than you imagined, whether it is the crown prince, the acting king, or the king of Chu who is in the limelight now, they are not the opponents of the Ten Highnesses." Zheng Xilin said with a smile, "The throne is like a bag for him, but it's a pity that he is not here at the moment. ”
"Alright, I won't stay up late anymore." As he spoke, the emperor stretched his waist, "Don't go to freshen up first, go out for a walk first, and blow the wind." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Although I haven't been by His Highness's side for the past few years, I've been teaching him with all my heart." Zheng Xilin knew in his heart that Mr. Meng hoped that he could be reinstated as a lieutenant to assist Zhao Yao, but he felt that it was not necessary. "When His Royal Highness Tenth grows up, I will also be old, and I will not have the energy to return to the court to assist him, but my youngest son can help him."
The emperor said with a solemn face: "Meng Lao is gone. "The star that just fell is Wenqu Xing.
"Meng Lao!"
At this moment, a star in the south suddenly fell from the sky, leaving a long trail in the night sky.
Hearing Zhao Yao's answer, Mr. Meng was stunned at first, and then a pleased smile appeared on his face. He deliberately asked, "Isn't it the world of your Zhao family?" ”
Mr. Meng smiled kindly: "It's nothing. He patted Zhao Yao's hand and continued, "Your Highness the Ten, I want to ask you something. ”
"Okay."
was busy until dawn, and Mr. Meng's funeral affairs were all done.
After learning that Mr. Meng had been buried in the ground, those people in Jinling and Suzhou decided not to wait any longer and to do it tonight.
"As long as we don't get involved." As soon as Zhao Yao finished speaking, his right eye jumped, and an ominous premonition instantly surged in his heart, "We have to see what happens next in Jinling, and whether this matter will affect Yangzhou." "Yangzhou is on top of Jinling, if something happens in Jinling, Yangzhou will be more or less affected.
"Our Zhao family is only in charge of the world, and the people are the real masters of the world." Zhao Yao said, "Without the people, where will the world come from." ”
At the same time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in Jinling, was in Mr. Meng's room.
"Your Highness, I hope that when it is your turn, you can think about the common people in the world and take up your responsibilities." Mr. Meng knew that Zhao Yao did not have the idea of shouldering the world for the time being, and he also knew that he just wanted to be an idle and happy prince. "Is that okay?"
"Meng Lao ......"
Zheng Xilin understood the meaning of Mr. Meng's command, "Do you think the news of your departure can be hidden?" ”
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are waiting for you to freshen up."
"I'm worried that His Highness Ten will be in trouble in the future, if you haven't come to see me by then, then help His Highness Ten and let His Highness sit in that seat smoothly."
Zhao Yao understood what Mr. Meng meant, and immediately stood up and retreated.
Zhao Yao and Zheng Xilin saw that Mr. Meng's whole face was radiant, and not only did they not have any joy in their hearts, but they were very sad.
"Your Highness the Tenth, I will entrust you to the people of this world."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Yangzhou."
The emperor raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui, scolding: "Your grandson is a fox and a tiger." ”
"It's better to be like this." The emperor said so, but he still put down the fold in his hand. He stood up and twisted himself.
Old Mr. Meng bowed his head slightly and said, "After all, there is no strong maternal support behind His Royal Highness, and it is difficult for him to defeat other princes. ”
Zhao Yao said without thinking: "The people's world." ”
Mr. Meng nodded with satisfaction, and immediately set his eyes on Zheng Xilin.
Zhao Yao thought to himself that he thought that the people were important, why would Mr. Meng rest assured?
Zheng Xilin had tears in his eyes, and his voice choked up: "Okay, I will solve these things as soon as possible." ”
When the emperor heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face: "I believe your words for the time being. ”
His old man's coffin had already been prepared, and it was a high-grade pear blossom wood.
"What you said not only underestimated the emperor, but also underestimated His Highness the Ten." Although Mr. Meng is very smart in reading, he is not very keen on the affairs of the imperial court, "Do you think the emperor will not pave the way for His Royal Highness the Ten?" ”
"Boss, what's going to happen to Jinling?"
Seeing that Mr. Meng's expression suddenly became solemn, Zhao Yao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "You ask." ”
Zheng Xilin was amused by Mr. Meng's words: "You are always worried that His Highness Ten will be in danger and trouble if he sits in that seat in the future?" ”
Old Mr. Meng's expression became serious again: "Your Highness, I hope you will always remember what you just said to me. ”
Chu Huan asked, "Boss, the third uncle is urging us to leave Jinling immediately, is something going to happen in Jinling?" ”
"If you say that, then I'm relieved." Mr. Meng felt that although Zhao Yao was designated as the heir by the emperor, Zhao Yao's imperial brothers were like jackals, tigers and leopards, how could Zhao Yao, a weak prince without the support of his mother's family, be able to fight his imperial brothers. "I can't last long, and when I leave, bury me immediately, don't set up a mourning hall, don't hang white sails, and don't go to the funeral."
"You say."
Before Mr. Meng left, he asked the housekeeper to serve him to freshen up and change his clothes, and there was no need for Zheng Xilin and them to help Mr. Meng freshen up.
Mr. Meng knew the talent of Zheng Xilin's youngest son, so he didn't say anything more.
After a while, the emperor came to his senses, returned to the imperial study, called out the dark guard, and instructed him something.
Zheng Xilin asked Song Jicai and the four of them to carry Mr. Meng's coffin to the cemetery that had been chosen, and then buried it.
When Mr. Meng heard this, his heart was full of joy, and he said hello three times in a row, and then said: "Your Highness thinks that the people are important, and I am completely relieved. ”
It was busy in the middle of the night last night, and several of them were already tired. After breakfast, they went to rest. When they woke up, they learned that all the people in Jinling City had learned about Mr. Meng's immortal death.
The only Great Confucian of the Great Zhou was gone, and the stars in the entire night sky instantly dimmed, as if he was sad for the deceased Meng Lao.
Although he didn't understand what Mr. Meng meant, he couldn't bear to refuse when he saw his old man looking at him expectantly.
"We're not leaving for now." Zhao Yao looked at Song Jicai and the four of them and said, "Let's go to Jinling City to stay for a few days and see what happens next." "He doesn't want to be involved in the affairs of the crown prince and the acting king, but he can't be ignorant of what really happens next." I always have a feeling that a storm is coming. ”
Mr. Meng smiled and said, "With your talent to assist the Ten Highnesses, the Ten Highnesses will become a better emperor than the current saints." ”
Sun Kui knew a little about the art of the stars, and when he saw that the falling star was big and bright, his face changed greatly, and he said with a frightened face: "Your Majesty, this ......"
"Boss, are we really going to leave now?"
Zheng Xilin sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed Mr. Meng to speak.
When Zhao Yao heard this, he showed a look of shock and confusion on his face, he didn't understand why Mr. Meng wanted to entrust the sky to him. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not open his mouth to ask.
"It's so late, don't bother Xiaoxiao." The emperor stood in front of the door of the Chengguang Palace, looked at the night sky full of stars, and said with a smile, "I will walk in front of the gate of the Chengguang Palace." ”
Just when Jinling City fell into the grief of losing the great Confucian Mr. Meng, the Runzhou Mansion next door was about to usher in a bloody storm.
"I don't live in the guest house, our grandfather's family has a house in Jinling City." Zhao Yao originally planned to go to live in the guest house designated by King Wei, but thinking that they might have to do something, it would be inconvenient at that time. "I've already told you, now you can go and live directly."
Sun Kui hurriedly pleaded guilty and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Then let's hurry over."
Mr. Meng sat on the bed and looked at Zhao Yao and them energetically. He said in a calm tone: "I'm going to leave later, and before I leave, I want to talk to you." ”
Zheng Xilin's face was haggard, and he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes and said, "You guys clean up, and then leave Jinling and go to Yangzhou." ”
"Leave now." Zheng Xilin knew that Zhao Yao and they were very tired, but they had to leave immediately, "You can rest on the boat." ”
Mr. Meng looked at Zheng Xilin and said to him with the last trace of strength: "I...... Let's go...... You're good ......" he closed his eyes.
The light in Mr. Meng's eyes became darker and darker, and he began to gasp when he spoke: "Xiaolin, you help the emperor solve the matter of Jinling as soon as possible, and you can't let those people endanger the people anymore......"
"The imperial examination ......" Mr. Meng's tone became weaker and weaker, "It's successful, remember to tell me ......"
"Don't worry, if it's really my turn to do something for the common people in the world, I will definitely not refuse."
When the emperor saw this fallen star, his face immediately became heavy.
Zhao Yao saw that Mr. Meng looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and hesitated and said, "Old Meng, if you have anything else to say, please continue." ”
Mr. Meng was shocked by Zheng Xilin's last sentence: "What did you say? ”
Shen Sen stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Chu Huan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Even if there is danger, I believe that a few of us can handle it." ”
The emperor raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui again, and scolded with a smile: "Your grandson is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to make fun of me." ”
Mr. Meng held Zhao Yao's hand tightly, he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it for a long time. He looked at Zhao Yao with burning eyes.
The emperor did not speak.
"Boss, let's go like this, is it really okay?"
"Boss, isn't that dangerous?" Chu Huan reacted quickly, and said with a worried face, "If Jinling is in danger, you can't stay, boss." ”
Sun Kui's face was full of horror: "Your Majesty, what do you mean Mr. Meng...... He's gone? ”
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Mr. Meng was relieved. He held Zhao Yao's hands hard again, with a kind smile on his face: "I believe that Your Highness Ten can do a good job, but unfortunately I can't see ......" Seeing the prosperous world in the future, Mr. Meng felt a little regretful in his heart.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell your third uncle."
Mr. Meng beckoned to Zhao Yao, who took a few steps forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and held his old man's hand.
"I still have some things to deal with, and when that's done, I'll leave." Zheng Xilin knew that Zhao Yao was worried about him, and comforted him, "I'll be fine, I'll go to Yangzhou to find you in a while." ”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liang is really worried about your dragon body, and Niangniang is afraid that you will damage your body if you stay up all night like this." Sun Kui bowed his body and said with a flattering face, "Your Majesty, in order to make Niangniang feel at ease, you also have to take care of yourself." ”
After Mr. Meng's body was placed in the coffin, the coffin was sealed. There was no mourning hall, and no coffin was placed for people to worship.
The more Zhao Yao listened, the more confused he became, and asked confusedly, "What don't you see?" ”
Song Jicai exclaimed, "Is it so urgent? "They are tired and hungry and need some rest.
"The emperor wants to let His Royal Highness Ten succeed to the throne, and it is impossible not to do anything." Zheng Xilin Yan said, "With the ability of His Royal Highness Shi, if he wants to take that position, he can get rid of all the princes now." ”
Seeing this, Sun Kui quickly cleaned up the folds on the royal table.
Back at Mr. Meng's house, Zhao Yao and the others packed their luggage, then bid farewell to Zheng Xilin and went down the mountain to the dock.
"I know you want me to assist His Highness the Ten."
Zhao Yao, who was standing outside the door, heard Zheng Xilin's cry of grief, his heart sank suddenly, and then he hurriedly ran into Mr. Meng's room, and saw that Mr. Meng had his eyes closed tightly and his chest did not rise and fall at all, so he knew that his old man had passed away.
"It's a day to be able to hide it." Mr. Meng's spirit slowly became weak, and his ruddy face gradually became gray, "When the day dawns, let His Highness Ten leave Jinling, the land of right and wrong." ”
"Don't worry, I'll always remember it." In order to reassure Mr. Meng, Zhao Yao said again, "Also, I will always remember what you said to me." ”
Runzhou Mansion is on top of Jinling, and its location has a great influence on Jinling. The crown prince and the people acting for the king have always wanted to control the transportation and salt of Runzhou Mansion, but because of Mr. Meng, the prince and the people of the acting king did not dare to touch Runzhou Mansion.
Now that Mr. Meng has passed away, the crown prince and the people acting for the king do not have to worry about Mr. Meng, and they can snatch the water and salt of Runzhou Mansion.
That night, a shocking massacre took place on the Runjiang River.
Tonight finally smoothed out the plot, and there will be no more Kavin in the future. Resume normal updates from tomorrow, no surprise I'll be updating more.
In the end, I still begged for a monthly ticket pitifully!
