Chapter 401: The Vassal King (1)

The prince of Xihe pursed his lips and said harshly: "It's better for you to call the queen mother, and see if the mother should be."

In the past, with just this sentence, Xu Jing was going to beat people.

At this moment, Xu Jing didn't say a word, only glanced coldly at the prince of Xihe.

The prince of Xihe felt a chill in his heart, and quickly shut up.

After two days, Queen Su's fever gradually subsided, and her sanity slowly sobered up, and she opened her mouth and ordered: "Go to the mourning hall to pass on the oral message of the palace, and several princes must kneel and guard filial piety, and there is no need to come to the palace every day." Let the prince of the North Sea come."

Fu Zi received the order, went to the mourning hall, and passed the message of Queen Su in front of everyone.

The ministers looked at the prince of Xihe with complex and indescribable eyes. This oracle is clearly aimed at him. Undoubtedly, in front of everyone, he slapped the prince of Xihe Wang Shizi hard.

The face of the prince of Xihe was hot, embarrassed, embarrassed, embarrassed, embarrassed, angry, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined, blocked in his chest, unable to go up and down, and extremely uncomfortable.

Emperor Yongming and the crown prince are both dead, and they will be buried in a few days. Now in this palace, Queen Su is the largest. Empress Su supported Xu Jing on the one hand, what did he do to fight with Xu Jing?

I can only hope that my father will come soon......

Just as he was thinking about it, someone quickly walked into the mourning hall to deliver a message: "Enlighten all the princes and lords, the two vassal kings have entered the capital and have already arrived outside the palace gate."

The prince of Xihe was in high spirits, and Huo Ran raised his head: "Which two vassal kings are here?"

Xu Jing also came to the spirit: "But my father is here?"

"Hui Shizi, it is the King of the North Sea and the King of the West River who came." The messenger replied respectfully, "The king of Pengcheng, the king of Hanyang, and the king of Pingchang are also on their way to Beijing, and they should all be there in the next few days."

The Son of Heaven is in mourning, and all vassal kings are going to Beijing to mourn. It always takes a while for the news to be sent to the domain, and then it will take a while to leave for Beijing in a hurry. The first to enter the capital was the King of Yingchuan who was escorted into the capital, and now, like the prince of Yingchuan, is locked up in the prison of the Zongren Mansion.

Beihai County is the farthest away, and the King of Beihai is the second to arrive, so it can be seen that he has been in a hurry.

I haven't seen my father and mother for more than two years.

At this moment, Xu Jing's heart was hot and eager, and he couldn't wait to get up and go out of the palace gate immediately.

It's just that with so many pairs of eyes watching, he had to suppress the urge to rush out, and said in a deep voice, "Please invite the King of the North Sea and the King of the West River into the mourning hall."

The chamberlain was ordered to retreat.

The ministers started from Zhou Shangshu, the prince of Dingguo, and each retreated. It was Xu Jing and other princes of the vassal who also moved and gave up the front position.

After about a stick of incense, the figure of the king of the North Sea and the king of Xihe and his party appeared outside the mourning hall.

In terms of age, the King of the North Sea was ten years older than the King of the West River. The King of the West River wanted to give way slightly, and waited for the King of the North Sea to step into the mourning hall before stepping in.

The King of Beihai was dressed in a white linen dress, with a sad and sad face, and the Princess of Beihai beside him was also dressed in white, with red eyes.

These tears were not faked. The moment she saw her baby son, Princess Beihai's tears flowed out: "Chunsheng ......"

The king of the North Sea quickly squeezed his old wife's hand.

Princess Beihai cried and changed her words: "Your Majesty, Prince, you were killed by a traitor, so you went......

The miserable and desolate cry suddenly made the ministers' eyes red.

These days, they can't cry anymore. At this time, the princess of Beihai's sincere cry was extremely infectious. And all the ministers began to weep one after another.

Xu Jing's eyes were red, and he knelt down with his father, who had lost a few laps, and supported the princess of Beihai who was crying breathlessly with the other hand.

The Xihe King and his wife were not far behind, kneeling on the ground and crying.

After crying for two hours in a row, the sky grew dark, and the crying in the mourning hall became weaker.

The imperial dining room brought porridge and rice. According to the usual practice on weekdays, you can rest for half an hour during meals.

The king of Beihai and the princess of Beihai had no leisure to eat, so they took their son's hand and went to an empty room to talk. As soon as the door closed, the princess of Beihai couldn't wait to hold Xu Jing in her arms and cried, "My son, my spring birth! For more than two years,

My mother thinks of you every day, and I finally meet again today."

Xu Jing is a person who has married a daughter-in-law and become a father, and he is quite unaccustomed to being held by his wife like this. However, he didn't break free, and patiently whispered to the old lady: "I also miss my mother every day."

The Princess of Beihai cried, "I will never leave you again. Where you are, I'll be there."

Before Xu Jing could say anything, the King of Beihai had already opened his mouth to interrupt his old wife: "Don't make a fuss. What did I tell you along the way? We came to the capital to mourn, and when the funeral is over and Chunsheng sits on the throne, we will go back to Beihai County."

Xu Jing was taken aback: "Father! Why did you think you were leaving when you first came?"

"You must leave as soon as possible." The King of Beihai cried for a long time, his eyes were red, but his expression was very calm: "The crown prince was killed, and the emperor was also killed by the traitor. As soon as the funeral is over, the ministers must support the new emperor and ascend the throne. Your greatest reliance is the queen mother, the deceased prince."

"I'm in the capital, and my help to you is actually very limited, and it will provoke the queen to be vigilant. Even the ministers will be jealous. I am your father, in case I have the heart to get involved in the government, will you listen to me or not?"

After a pause, he sighed, reached out and patted his son's shoulder: "Chunsheng, you have grown up. I don't need to say much about it, you must know it in your heart."

"You are the heir designated by the crown prince, and with the support of the queen's mother, no one can compete with you. The prince of the West River wants to fight, but he can't fight you."

"This throne is yours, and this Great Jin River is also yours. It has nothing to do with me, the king of the North Sea. I should continue to stay in Beihai County and be my vassal king."

How could Xu Jing not understand?

The crown prince passed the throne to him, and he had to take on the heavy responsibility of supporting Empress Su. Moreover, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. He, who is a son, sat on the dragon chair, his father was a courtier, and his father spoke, and it was not appropriate for him to listen to it, and it was not appropriate for him not to listen.

If the father, the queen and the mother stay in the capital, it is indeed embarrassing and delicate.

He looked at his father, whose eyes were full of love and his heart was full of his son's future, his heart was hot, his nose was full of sourness, and he shouted "Father" hoarsely, and the next words were all choked in his throat.

The King of the North Sea stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes for his son: "Don't say anything, this matter is settled." Then, he instructed his wife: "For the sake of spring birth, you listen to me, and don't make a fuss when the time comes."

The princess of Beihai was full of reluctance, but she couldn't resist her husband, and sobbed and cried, "I listen to you. However, I have to guard my son all these days in the capital."

The King of the North Sea glanced at his son helplessly.

Your mother is this temper, bear with it!
