Chapter 42: Arriving in the capital
As for the Meng family's so-called "giving up things, it is important to save your life", those homeless people didn't listen to it at all.
For them now, the little thing that the Meng family has given them is the thing that saves their lives, and it is as precious as their lives.
Rather than hand over their things and then the whole family freezes and starves to death, they would rather risk their lives and fight with the gang.
This unexpected change in their attitude caused the homeless people who had indeed come to them to grab things as soon as they had heard the news.
Those homeless people were frightened by the guards of the Zhenbei Wangfu at night, and in the morning, they suffered a big loss in front of the other homeless people who were originally honest and scattered, but now they were more ruthless than them, and they were unprecedentedly united, and they couldn't help but start to wonder if they had done too many bad things, so they began to have bad luck uncontrollably.
Those who have done bad things are scared and retreat, but the displaced people who have successfully protected themselves and their families have become more courageous and united because they have tasted the sweetness of bravery and unity.
They watched over each other, and during the period before the government arranged for the displaced people to return to their hometowns and settle down, they successfully protected the elderly, weak, women and children in their respective ranks, and greatly reduced the number of deaths in the ranks of the displaced people.
These chain reactions caused by Yu Zizhen's rescue of Meng Tingru, the system all counted the points to Yu Zizhen one by one, so that Yu Zizhen would reap a wave of points rewards on the way in the future.
Seven days later, the group rushed to the capital.
When it was their turn to enter the city, it was almost dusk, and in order to show compassion, someone from the palace passed the emperor's message, so that Yu Zizhen and they did not have to rush into the palace tonight to meet them.
After agreeing to pick up Yu Zizhen into the palace tomorrow at the palace in the capital, the eunuch who sent the edict followed the eunuch who came to convey the emperor's dictation back to the palace, and the other accompanying officials and soldiers went back to their homes after saying goodbye to Yu Zizhen and others.
The servants who had been waiting next to the palace did not dare to step forward until this time, and they saluted Yu Zizhen and Mr. Jiang in turn, "Meals and hot water have been prepared in the palace, and the prince of the world please enter the palace with the little ones to rest." ”
Yu Zizhen bowed slightly, "There is labor." ”
The servants who stayed behind in the palace of the capital couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that her expression was calm, her tone was gentle, and her words were approachable and polite.
Although they are also the sons of the royal family, in the eyes of the masters of the royal palace, they must be far inferior to those sons of the royal family in the north.
If they can keep rotting, lying flat, and salted fish paralysis in the palace of the capital, then they don't really care about the temper and temperament of the masters of the palace, and whether the masters of the palace attach importance to them or not, believe in them or not.
But who let His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issue an order to summon their seven-year-old little master to the capital.
It is impossible to have a good life of rotten, lying flat, and salted fish paralysis, and as the sons of the royal family, they must serve the little master together with those royal servants who came from the north.
In this case, it is necessary to find out the temperament and preferences of the little master in advance, and strive to be able to do what he likes in the shortest possible time, and become the subordinate of the other party's trust and reuse.
With such a mind, they trusted favors and relationships, and finally won the drudgery of guarding the city gate and waiting to pick up people.
Yes, drudgery.
But it is such a drudgery, but now it has become a sought-after sweet tooth because Yu Zizhen and his party are about to live in Beijing.
The servants of the palace with their own thoughts, enthusiastic but respectful, led Yu Zizhen and others all the way back to the palace in the capital.
The palace housekeeper who got the news was already waiting outside the main gate of the palace, and when he saw the carriage with the palace emblem slowly coming, the old housekeeper wiped his tears and greeted him with excitement.
When the coachman saw the gray-haired old housekeeper, while slowing down the car, he didn't forget to remind Yu Zizhen in the car, "Shizi, it's time to go to the palace." ”
Yu Zizhen responded, and when the carriage slowly stopped, she immediately jumped out of the carriage with neat movements, surrounded by Zhang Niangzi, Yuheng, and Yaoguang, without the slightest intention of putting on a stand to intimidate everyone.
"Old slave Yu Sheng, meet the son." As soon as the old butler, who was already waiting by the carriage, saw Yu Zizhen, he immediately knelt down towards Yu Zizhen with a bend of his knees.
Behind him, the other servants of the palace also knelt on the ground.
Listening to the ups and downs of "meeting the prince", Yu Zizhen hurriedly walked a few steps and reached out to help the gray-haired old housekeeper, "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”
Although the old housekeeper Yu Sheng stayed in the capital, he was the hardcore confidant of her grandfather, the old king of Zhenbei, the current king of Zhenbei and the nominal father of Yu Zizhen.
The old man has been a long-term companion to the king of the old town for thirty years, during which he has accompanied the king of the old town north more than once to gallop on the battlefield, and even blocked the arrow and knife for the king of the old town north several times, until the ancestor died of illness, he took off his military uniform.
After the king of Zhenbei inherited the palace and military power, Yu Sheng, together with his group of old brothers, proposed to retreat to the second line of glory.
It's not that they have any opinions about the king of Zhenbei, but that they, as the henchmen of the old king of Zhenbei, the king of Zhenbei really doesn't seem to send his capable subordinates like sending them, and he sends them with his own heart without any psychological burden.
Even if they did something wrong, the king of Zhenbei couldn't pull down his face to scold and punish his father's old subordinates.
Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that these people will invisibly hinder him, prevent him from establishing absolute prestige in the army, and prevent him from completely taking power in the army and the royal palace.
This is not what the king of Zhenbei wants to see, nor is it what the old king of Zhenbei wants to see, but they can't clearly stage a play of "one son of heaven and one courtier" in the palace.
At this time, it is necessary for those "old people" to put forward their own needs for glory.
Of course, the successor King Zhenbei will not treat these "old people" badly.
Although the "old people" themselves have taken a back seat, their sons, nephews, nephews, and the like will become the personal guards and long-term followers of the new king of Zhenbei after they take a back seat.
In addition, the successor King of Zhenbei will also fully consider the personal wishes of the "old people" and arrange a proper place for them to go, so that they can live as comfortably as possible for the rest of their lives.
Yu Sheng, one of the "old people", was sent by the king of Zhenbei to guard the palace in the capital because he wanted to come to the capital. Even the king of Zhenbei intimately transferred his youngest son's family over, so that he could have children and grandchildren to celebrate under his knees.
