Chapter 166: Dream Back
Jin Yongkang and others discussed the caliber and prepared to secretly return to Beijing with the body of Emperor Taichang. Jin Yongxiu wrote a letter to the prince of Shangjuan under the watchful eyes of Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian, pushed everything to the head of the Jiangxia traitor, and then sent it to the capital in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles.
Because he was afraid of affecting the war and not mourning, Jin Yongkang didn't dare to take a coffin on the road openly, so he could only find a big wooden box, put the body of Emperor Taichang in it, and put it in the shape of an ordinary suitcase.
Zhang Yuqing, Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian, escorted by thousands of soldiers, marched to the capital.
It was late autumn, and the trees on both sides of the official road withered, and they were slaughtered.
Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian sighed all the way, and they didn't know how the prince should be furious after receiving the music, and how they would deal with it if they didn't believe in the witch Gu's words.
Zhang Yuqing was no longer in the mood to play those two fools, she began to be happy, and she didn't want Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian to see it, so she hid in the carriage under the pretext that she was not feeling well.
There had just been an autumn rain that day, and the carriage was driving on the bumpy road, and Zhang Yuqing fell asleep in a daze.
In her dream, the sky shone with a dazzling golden light, and the wooden house where she and her adoptive father and brother had lived for more than ten years were shrouded in golden light. A large hand gently placed it on her head from top to bottom and rubbed her head.
Zhang Yuqing raised her head blankly and saw her adoptive father's loving and smiling face.
At that moment, Zhang Yuqing burst into tears in her dream.
She clearly realized that she was dreaming, that her adoptive father was dead, and that there was no resurrection after death. Her consciousness seemed to be split into two, one when she was young and her adoptive father stood together, and when she was grown, she stood by and watched silently.
In the dream, the adoptive father turned to look at Zhang Yuqing when he grew up and smiled at her.
When he grew up, Zhang Yuqing muttered: "Daddy, I'm very uncomfortable. I thought that when Emperor Taichang died, I would be able to free myself from hatred a little, but I didn't. ”
Sheng Daoting asked, "Why?" ”
"The enemy has died thousands of times, but he can't get back the life of his relatives." Zhang Yuqing whimpered, "People can't be resurrected after death, there is nothing, for the dead person, what is the meaning of whether the person who killed him is dead or alive?" Revenge is for the living, I don't want revenge, I want you to live......"
Sheng Daoting laughed, and also reached out and touched Zhang Yuqing's head when he grew up, and said gently: "Silly girl, you are drilling the horns again, and your temper is still so stubborn!" ”
When Zhang Yuqing woke up, the carriage was still swaying on the road, she reached out and touched it, her sideburns were moist, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
It's weird! Zhang Yuqing let out a long breath, why didn't she dream of her adoptive father once after he was killed, but she dreamed of her adoptive father after killing Emperor Taichang.
Zhang Yuqing lifted the curtain, and Du Jingyi was riding a horse next to the carriage.
Seeing her, Du Jingyi immediately leaned over.
"I just fell asleep, what did I make a noise?" Zhang Yuqing asked in a low voice, she was afraid that she would talk in her dreams and reveal something that she shouldn't say.
Du Jingyi shook his head, hesitated, and didn't say that the curtain of the car was blown open by the autumn wind just now, and he saw Zhang Yuqing lying on the mat asleep, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes to his sideburns.
Zhang Yuqing felt a little relieved, and was just about to speak, when a wave of nausea rushed to her throat, covered her mouth and retched a few times.
Jin Yongkang happened to pass by, heard the sound, and looked at Zhang Yuqing suspiciously, "Mrs. Lu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang Yuqing was in a hurry, pointed to the front and said, "Lord Jin, that ...... It smells so bad! ”
Although it was already late autumn, it was not cold, and it rained again, and the rain seeped into the wooden box along the cracks, and the corpses were decomposing more and more, and the stench was overwhelming.
Jin Yongkang sighed and whispered: "This is also no way, there are poor places along the way, and you can't find ice if you want to." ”
"I'm afraid that when I get to the capital, the holy body will not be rotten, and you can't explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Yuqing also whispered.
Jin Yongkang was moved, and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be considerate of our difficulties." ”
"I heard that if this corpse is not buried as soon as possible, it will swell several times, and finally it will ...... with a bang," Zhang Yuqing said vividly.
Jin Yongkang asked in horror: "How about the bang?" ”
Zhang Yuqing slapped her thigh, "Blow up to the sky!" All intestines and stomachs fly out, and they are everywhere for miles! ”
In the past, in the capital, Jin Yongkang, the noble son who had to bathe in fragrant soup when he went out, almost fainted without nausea, and vomited while holding the carriage, and when he finished vomiting, he made people open the wooden box and take a look, and sure enough, the corpse had begun to swell.
"What a good thing that is!" Jin Yongkang was anxious, thinking about it, he couldn't bury or burn Emperor Taichang's body on the spot, so he had to let people quickly go to the front with wooden boxes, and they followed behind, at least to stay away from the smelly thing.
After walking for more than ten days, everyone finally arrived near the capital. I didn't dare to enter the city during the day, so I could only wait for the dead of night to quietly enter the capital.
The prince had already received the news, and after the sadness and anger, he was in a state of panic.
Under the protection of hundreds of thousands of troops, the emperor died outside, wouldn't his safety be even more insecure!
Therefore, according to filial piety, the prince wanted to go out of the city to greet the body of his old father, but he didn't even dare to go out of the palace gate, and only ordered Jin Yongkang to bring the body of Emperor Taichang into the palace.
In order to show their loyal temperament in front of the new monarch, Jin Yongkang and Zhang Yuqian carried a wooden box into the palace alone. However, both of them are pampered noble sons, they can't lift their hands and shoulders, they can't carry them, they start to slip and shake after taking a few steps, they can only grit their teeth and endure the stench, swaying step by step, and walking towards the prince.
The queen and the crown prince are already crying, the prince is supported by the prime minister and other important ministers, and the queen is supported by Zhang Yuying and other women, regardless of whether they are sincere or pretended, they are already sad to the point where they can't help themselves.
Zhang Yuqing saw that the wooden box was shaking, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, and immediately took a few steps back, hid in the crowd, and covered her face with a fan.
Just as the prince and the others were howling to meet them, there was a slight popping sound in the wooden box, and then there was a loud bang, and the lid of the wooden box was smashed open, and the stinking and shattered human tissue poured on the group of people.
The crying of the queen and the crown prince stopped abruptly, and then a group of people vomited uncontrollably, and the sad body handover scene became an unforgettable memory for everyone.
The scene was too chaotic, screams and vomiting came one after another, Zhang Yuqing didn't want to step forward, so he ordered a guard to inform the big eunuch in the palace, and went back to the Lufu Fansi Courtyard first, and then entered the palace another day.
After leaving the capital for more than two years, Fansi Academy is still the same as before.
At first glance, when they saw Mrs. Lu coming back, the stewards and maids were only shocked for a moment, and immediately packed up in an orderly manner, boiling hot water, and cooking.
Zhang Yuqing sent someone to the Mercy Nunnery to report the news, and after taking a bath, he couldn't bear the exhaustion and lay down.
Early in the morning of the second day, there was already someone waiting there in the courtyard, and it was Fang Qin, who was taken by Lu Wei to the side of the Duanshu County Lord.
"Madam, don't come unharmed?" Fang Qinpi said with a smile, staring gloomily at Du Jingyi and the others behind Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing smiled, "Thanks to Gongzi Fang's blessing, since Gongzi Fang left Liangzhou, everything has been fine." ”
Fang Qin snorted coldly, "You can only play lip service, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths!" When the adults recognize your true colors, I will see what happens to you! ”
"You are a person who offends people with one mouth, and you owe a lot of beating." Zhang Yuqing sighed and said slowly, "It's not that I curse you, I'm really worried that you won't live the day when Lu Wei hates me!" ”
Fang Qin's head was dizzy, the more he looked at Zhang Yuqing, the more hateful he became, he turned around and left, remembered something when he came to the door, turned back again, and said with a sigh of relief: "If you still remember that you are the wife of an adult, go and visit your mother-in-law!" The county lord has something to tell you! ”
Zhang Yuqing was shocked, "I came to the capital to be a hostage, not to visit relatives!" Can I leave the capital without an order from the palace? You want me to be deflated, or let the prince kill me, so you can think of a clever trap. Use this trick against me, I think you are deliberately insulting me! ”
Fang Qin's face turned red, and he flicked his sleeves away angrily.
When it was almost noon, a steward came to the gate of the courtyard to tell him, saying that the master had sent someone to pass the word and asked Lu Zhang's to visit him.
Zhang Yuqing, who had just finished Fang Qin, was not interested at the moment, waved his hand and said: "Men and women are not kissed, how can there be a reason for the father-in-law and daughter-in-law to meet when the son is not there?" If he has anything to say to me, let him stand outside the courtyard and say it, I can hear you! ”
The steward's dutiful words convey the past.
After a while, a burst of menacing footsteps sounded outside the closed courtyard door.
Although Fansi Courtyard is a courtyard of the Lu Mansion, the inner door leading to the Lu Mansion is closed and locked all the year round, and it is no different from coming out independently by relying on the newly opened door on the outer wall.
Lu Dewen's angry voice sounded outside, "Lu Zhang's, you are such a big shelf!" ”
There was also a woman's voice fanning the flames next to her, "That's it, I even let my father-in-law come to see you in person, and I'm not afraid of thunder and thunder!" ”
Zhang Yuqing sat on the cushioned chair, shaking the fan and closing her eyes to recuperate.
Lu Dewen scolded for a long time, but no one opened the door for him, and he was even more annoyed, "Lu Zhang's! ”
"Why don't you understand?" Zhang Yuqing sighed, "Although I am the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, I am a hostage invited by the palace. Why did the palace ask me to be a hostage? It's not that I think that in Lu Wei's heart, your father has no weight, so he took me from Liangzhou to the capital! In the eyes of your nobles, I am much more important than you! ”
What kind of fallacy is this?! Lu Dewen glared angrily, "Nonsense!" You are not filial......"
"Then you go to the palace and let the nobles cut me down! Go on! Zhang Yuqing laughed.
At this time, the angel in the palace arrived at the Lu family.
Lu Dewen had to hold back his anger, and after watching the door of Fansi Courtyard open, the angel invited Zhang Yuqing into the palace with a smile, saying that the crown princess missed her sisters and invited Zhang Yuqing to have a luncheon.
