Chapter 106: Something is going to happen
The next day, the Diligent Government Palace.
The green smoke curls in the Heding copper furnace, the candles in the hall are all extinguished, the sun rises in the east, and the sky is already bright.
Today's morning court time was a bit long, and Li Luansong already felt tired from sitting on the top, so he changed his posture to rest.
And the ministers standing below were even more miserable, they had been standing for a few hours, and the matter that should have been reported had already been reported, that is, about the matter of His Royal Highness the Prince's personal conquest, the monarch and the ministers were deadlocked, and the bar was on.
The feet under the official robe were quietly alternately supported, secretly resting but not daring to be seen.
This is the time for both sides to show their attitudes, and even the standing posture cannot be half degraded.
Li Luansong insisted on pro-conquest, and there was a lot of opposition, and some people said: "Your Highness can't just want to be happy, but also think about the future of Daye and the future of the people." β
Someone said: "Your Highness is not married yet, and he has no children, so if there is any accident, what can be done." β
Someone else said: "The ministers are not cursing His Highness, the so-called good medicine is bitter, and the ministers have the responsibility to persuade and dare not let His Highness act willfully." β
For all sorts of reasons, in short, he was not allowed to go.
Li Luansong was also really annoyed, but after all, he was not yet in power, and then looked at those stubborn old ministers, took the case, and said:
"You are very patient, well, this palace will no longer discuss this matter with you. Three days later, the troops were ordered and set off from Zhengyangmen. β
After speaking, he didn't turn his head back and walked away, letting them gossip and ignore it.
"How is this good, you must not let Your Highness act willfully."
"Let's go to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and ask the two of you to persuade Your Highness."
"Let's go, let's go."
β¦β¦
For three days, there were only three days, and these old ministers had to do their best to prevent Li Luansong from personally conquest, pulling their colleagues to talk and plan the layout at night; knelt down at the door of the emperor and queen, weeping bitterly; went to the East Palace to ask for a meeting with His Royal Highness, and he was bitter......
Do whatever it takes.
Li Luansong just didn't see it, ignored it, and didn't listen.
I can't afford to kneel for a long time, and I still ignore it.
This is another game between the monarch and the minister, to see who has hard bones.
However, the old ministers' bodies couldn't bear it, and they had been making trouble all day and seeing that it was a hard stubble, and if they knelt down again, I was afraid that this old bone would really fall apart.
"Your Highness is crazy, if you are really crazy, I don't think it may be as simple as wanting to conquer in person, I'm afraid there are some other thoughts hidden."
As soon as the words came out, everyone nodded in agreement after being shocked.
"Then we can't let him be willful, now that the year is approaching, His Royal Highness must stay in the capital to preside over the overall situation."
"However, he didn't even give His Majesty and Niangniang face, how can this be good."
"In my opinion, we ...... like this"
Someone had a bad idea, and a group of people applauded, so they did it.
So, three days later, seeing that the sky was still dark, I couldn't see my fingers in the dark, and the streets were already full of people.
It was this group of old ministers, dressed neatly in official uniforms and hats, and one by one they went straight to Zhengyangmen with pale faces.
Didn't he Li Luansong see us, then let's go to Zhengyangmen to block people, kneel in front of his war horse, and see if he can step on us.
Isn't it gone, then block your way and leave you with no way out.
There are a hundred and ten people, and the old ministers bring their own disciples and students, and they don't care what kind of gangs they are forming together, so they will stop people first.
The people kneeling on the ground outside the Zhengyang Gate all looked solemn, took off their hats and held them in their hands, looking like they were at home.
It seems that he is really hard-hearted.
Little by little, the inky sky faded to an inky blue, and then the white clouds could be seen clearly, and a ray of morning glow appeared on the horizon.
As if they saw hope, everyone knelt even straighter.
After all, it was winter, it was cold, and I had been kneeling for two hours, and my face was frozen white.
The sky turned white, and gradually a round of red sun jumped out, and the back of the ridge began to feel warm, and the sun finally came out.
However, there was no movement at Zhengyang Gate, there was no intention of opening the door, and the sound of iron armor and iron armor inside could not be heard.
"I said, 'Let's leave at the hour.'"
"yes, I think the door should have been opened a long time ago."
Everyone muttered in their hearts, is it today, yes, yes.
"Squeak" sounded, Zhengyang Gate opened on time as in the past, and the two soldiers were sleepy-eyed and didn't see clearly, they were frightened by the kneeling ministers in front of them, and they kowtowed.
Everyone looked through the door, but there was no one.
"You two, knelt down straight and replied."
The two of them straightened up, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the person opposite.
"What about His Royal Highness, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the soldiers to gather here?"
The two of them were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads: "No, I didn't receive any news today." β
Everyone was shocked and shouted badly.
At this time, a person came running from a distance, holding his hat as he ran, and it was only when he got close that he saw that it was a little eunuch on duty in the palace:
"Ladies and gentlemen, go back quickly, Your Highness, you have already left."
"Ah, when did you leave, why didn't we see it?"
The little eunuch trembled and said, "I set off at this hour a day ago. β
Sound east and west, Li Luansong, you little rabbit cub, you actually deceived everyone.
Everyone scolded in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, they all fell down in anger and shouted:
"Something is going to happen, something is going to happen......"
*
At the beginning of the day after the snow, the weather is sunny day by day.
Zelan has been guarding Shen Qu for two or three days, almost not leaving an inch, for fear that she will do something stupid.
But after all, she is the only one, sometimes she can't be busy, so she calls Liang Fan to come over to help, go buy something, and then go to the kitchen to watch the fire, if she is still too busy, she has the courage to ask Mutam to help run an errand.
In this regard, the two are naturally very happy.
But Mutam felt a little strange, Shen Cheng has always been very well-behaved, although he is her apprentice, he never lets the people around him call him, and he is still the prince of Soto in his bones, and the same is true of Zelan.
But in the past few days, Zelan has hardly gone out of Shen Qu's room, and he is so busy that he is going to support him, which is a little strange no matter how you look at it.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Mutam didn't think much about it, after all, it was normal to go out together, and besides, he was willing to help.
Shen was very dull, sitting alone, not going out or talking, occasionally reading a book, and when he was tired of reading, he looked out the window blankly.
Zeeland was really worried, and she didn't know how she decided in her heart, so she finally couldn't help but ask:
"Lady, what do you think?"
Shen Qu blinked his eyelashes lightly, and said slowly: "I'll write a prescription, you go buy medicine." β
Zelan's tears welled up in his eyes at once: "Has the lady really decided, this is a small life." β
Shen Qu shook his head with a resolute attitude.
"Lady, the slave doesn't understand. Does the lady really stop thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid look, His Royal Highness is really good to the lady. β
Zelan also thought about it for two days, the crux of this problem is still on Li Luansong, if Shen can accept him, then all the problems will be solved.
"The lady was once so good with Her Royal Highness, but now she is really willing to do it? The lady has a stubborn temper, why can't she figure it out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sincere to you, can't you see it? β
Shen did look at her, "But the disparity between our identities and status is too great, I don't want to stay in the cold and luxurious palace every day, at the mercy of others, and under the command of others, what is the difference between that and a marionette." β
Her voice was calm, as if she had really thought about it, "Zelan, you know me, I still have so many things to do, and I am not pedantic and forward-looking, I think too clearly." β
"Lady, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you may understand better than the slave, but in the slave's opinion, there is nothing that cannot be solved." Zelan wiped his tears and said, "You always say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talks to himself, but he will change it, as for that cold palace, we don't live it, we can live the old days." β
Shen did laugh: "Sitting in such a high position, you still want to live such a free and easy life before, how is it possible, you are too naΓ―ve." β
"But, lady......"
"Alright, don't talk about it." Shen Qu interrupted her, "I'm tired, it's getting late today, you go out early tomorrow morning to help me buy medicine, and I'll write you the recipe for abortion in a while." β
Zelan was really helpless, and silently withdrew from the room, but after thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't just give up, and there was one last trick, she quietly wrote a letter and sent it to May, asking him to transfer it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
But he couldn't leave the lady, so Zeeland thought about asking Mutam to send the letter.
Early the next morning, Zelan waited for Shen Qu to eat breakfast, but who knew that Shen Qu had already written the prescription and handed it to Zelan, asking her to go out to grab the medicine immediately:
"If the month is older, it will hurt the body."
Zeeland was helpless, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to go out.
The pharmacy was not far away, and it was all common medicines, and soon Zeeland had all the medicines. However, just go back like this, won't the little master in the lady's belly be gone.
The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and Zeeland finally decided to pick out a medicine from it and throw it away.
When she went back and handed it to Shen Qu, she looked at it and said, "Catch it less, and then go." β
Zeeland went out again.
When he came back for the second time, Shen did find that he had caught the wrong one.
"You did it on purpose." Shen did look at her, "Don't you even listen to me?" β
"Lady, I didn't mean to." Zeeland has a weak heart.
"Then go again." Shen did scare her, "If you don't want to die two lives, just go and delay your life." β
Zelan was really scared now, and he didn't dare to do anything anymore, so he ran out and grabbed the medicine back.
In the morning, he ran three times and attracted the attention of Mutam.
A few days ago, he was still guarding Shen Qu inch by inch, why did he go to the pharmacy three times today.
When Zeeland came back, he happened to bump into Mutam, who asked her, "What's wrong with you, your eyes are red, and you have been scolded." β
He still teased her in the same tone as ever.
Zelan didn't talk to him as usual, only nodded silently, "I'm going to boil the medicine." β
Mutam vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he went to the pharmacy and asked Zelan for a prescription.
The shopkeeper said: "It is the medicine for the woman's abortion, Lang Jun rest assured, our medicine is good medicine, and it is very safe." β
Abortion?!
Mutam ran away.
