On October 12th, the autumn wind is rustling in the royal capital of the north, and the prosperous Dayu Palace in the past is still immersed in the haze of the emperor's collapse, and the autumn is cool
In Yongle Palace, the maids and servants were all silent, trembling between words and deeds.
Since the emperor's funeral, the queen mother was like a lit firecracker, which would explode and hurt people at any time. Fortunately, King Gong knew how to honor his elders, and he came to Yongle Palace to talk with the queen mother every day. .
No, early in the morning, Prince Gong came to greet the Queen Mother again.
"Grandmother," Han Lingfu bowed respectfully, looked at the queen mother on Luohan's bed, and said caringly, "Grandson saw you coughing profusely yesterday, so I went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for some Chuanbei Pipa Gao," he said. With that, Han Lingfu raised his hand and made a gesture, and Xiao Lizi handed a fist-sized porcelain pot with blue patterns on a white background to an old woman beside the queen mother.
What Han Lingfu said was gentle and considerate, which made the queen mother feel very comfortable after hearing it. She just felt that fortunately, Emperor Daxing still had a son who was filial, unlike the prince and the others.
"Little San, you still have a heart, sit down and talk." The empress dowager's eyes were a little moist, and she took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Han Lingfu lifted his robe and sat down, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised at an angle that the queen mother couldn't see.
On that day, he didn't drag Aunt Yongyang into the water deliberately, it was just the right time, he didn't want to die himself, so he had to make trouble!
Later, the father was found to have taken Wuhe ointment, and Han Lingfu was also afraid of it, worried that he would be found. After all, Wuhe ointment was brought back from Baiyue by his side concubine. The time is that he has been serving the sick by his father's side
Unexpectedly, the rumor that the Zhennan Palace forced the crown prince to be established before he spread had an unexpected effect at this time, and unexpectedly dragged the fifth emperor brother into the water by mistake.
This is really God helping him too!
Sure enough, destiny must be on his side!
Since even the fate is on his side, and the emperor is ordered by heaven, then what is the fifth emperor's younger brother? !
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu could hardly suppress the agitation in his heart, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said submissively: "Grandmother, it's cold in the morning and evening these days, you should pay attention to your body."
Han Lingfu's words came from the bottom of his heart. Now the only person who can help him face the Fifth Emperor and the Empress is the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother must not make any mistakes!
He has to work harder, he must make the queen mother believe that the father was murdered by the five emperors and his aunt Yongyang, and it is best to let the queen mother decide to abolish the prince. Go to Dabao.
Afterwards, even if I didn't do anything, I would still have ministers come to support me, and everything would be a matter of course!
The queen mother knew nothing about the wishful thinking in Han Lingfu's heart, she sighed faintly, and said, "Little San, the emperor's grandmother knows you are filial, but your father's death is unknown. In the past month, the emperor's grandmother's heart How can you feel at ease when you are struggling all the time! Grandmother must seek justice for your father!"
The voice of the queen mother gnashing her teeth echoed in the hall, and it lasted for a long time. Han Lingfu was secretly happy, and pretended to appease the queen mother again.
The sun is rising slowly, but the haze above the Yongle Palace not only shows no signs of dissipating, but is getting thicker and thicker
Time passed day by day, the empress dowager and the cabinet ministers were at a stalemate, and the new emperor never ascended the throne, followed by some secret speculations, there was some turmoil in the ruling and opposition parties, and even the people gradually had some criticisms , intensified
Cheng Dongyang and other cabinet ministers are well aware of this, but they are helpless.
On the first day of November, the chief assistant Cheng Dongyang and the six ministers gathered in the cabinet lobby to discuss matters. Several adults were worried or watched with cold eyes or harbored ghosts and different thoughts.
"Master Cheng," Chen Yuanzhou Zhengse, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said to Cheng Dongyang, "In three days, it will be seventy-seven forty-nine days before Emperor Daxing's funeral. If the crown prince does not ascend the throne, the lower officials are afraid that the government and the public and the people will cause chaos and turmoil.” Today’s Dayu can no longer withstand any turmoil. Yu this building is really going to collapse
But Chen Yuanzhou did not dare to say the following words.
Why didn't Cheng Dongyang understand, he just felt the weight on his shoulders. His brows were deeply furrowed, and the hard work of more than a month made him look haggard.
Ministers such as Cheng Dongyang and En Guogong hoped that the crown prince would ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the court. However, the queen mother had already put down harsh words to the ministers. As long as the crown prince dared to ascend the throne without the cause of the emperor's death being unknown, she would smash her head into the emperor's coffin. Come on, blood splattered on the spot! When the time comes, she will see how the prince can block the hearts of the world, how to subdue the hearts of the courtiers and the people!
She wants to see if the prince has the ability to be a tyrant!
This sentence is almost heartbreaking!
If the queen mother is really like this, then the crown prince's accession to the throne will make the situation of Dayu more turbulent, and they have to be cautious.
During this period of time, Cheng Dongyang had a headache.
They also want to find out the cause of the emperor's death, but it concerns the royal family, how to find out? !
Even if someone died in the family of a noble minister, the three divisions can interrogate to find out the truth, but once the royal family is involved, they can be interrogated but cannot be interrogated, let alone punished, or even rashly sent troops to search for evidence in various palaces and prefectures. How to check? !
Dali Temple did not dare to investigate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to investigate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not dare to investigate!
Cheng Dongyang half-closed his eyes and remained silent, but Li Heng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly said to Chen Yuanzhou: "Master Chen, the empress dowager's concerns are not unreasonable. If the crown prince ascends the throne at this time, it will be unfair to his reputation."
Gu Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, followed up with righteous words: "Master Li said that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people when he broke the law. There are people in the palace who are bold enough to kill the king. It is better to find out this cancer!" Although Gu Mo did not name Dao surname said that the prince killed the king, but the meaning behind the words is obvious.
Cheng Dongyang glanced at Li Heng and Gu Mo calmly. Now the six ministers are not on the same mind. Both Li Heng and Gu Mo are the Royal Party of Gongjun. There are other ministers who are still waiting to see the situation. The royal party of Gongjun used the name of the queen mother to pretend to be powerful, jumping up and down
He is the first assistant, and he can't control people's hearts!
Cheng Dongyang's heart is like a mirror, and he knows that if he drags on, he may soon be unable to hold back the situation in the court
Suddenly, there was a sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of armor clashing, several cabinet ministers subconsciously followed the sound.
Accompanied by the heavy footsteps, a breathless voice shouted: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, there is an urgent military situation in Western Xinjiang!"
Hearing this sentence, the faces of everyone in the hall changed drastically, and their hearts sank. ..
Soon, a travel-worn soldier, led by a servant, walked quickly into the hall, knelt down and clasped fists in front of Cheng Dongyang and the other adults, and said anxiously: "Master Cheng, hurry up the military report for eight hundred miles! The 20,000 Southern Border Army stationed west of Feixia Mountain moved, directly entered Feixia Mountain, and the army came east."
The soldier raised his head and looked directly at Cheng Dongyang and the others. Fang Zheng's face was unshaven and his eyes were red. After speaking a series of words in one go, his voice was hoarse and harsh.
Several adults in the hall felt that each other's words seemed to be shot straight at them, almost thinking that they heard it wrong.
The Southern Border Army is going to enter the Central Plains from the Western Border? !
From this point of view, the Zhennan Palace is really planning to rebel!
All the adults turned pale with shock, and their eyes fell on the soldiers who came to summon them, including the ministers who originally planned to wait and see what happened, and they could no longer take it indifferently.
Everyone in Dayu knows that Feixia Mountain is as heavy as Yanmen Pass, and it is the most important barrier in the west of Dayu.
Since the beginning of the year, the Southern Border Army replaced the Xiye Army to occupy Feixia Mountain. It has been stationed in place for more than half a year. It seems that there is no intention of going east. I didn't expect to mobilize troops without warning!
Li Heng and Gu Mo looked at each other in dismay, both of them were sweating from behind, and their shirts were wet.
King Gongjun told them that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was only scaremongering, and would never dare to risk the world's disgrace to conquer Dayu in the Central Plains. fear
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites sweated profusely and said: "Master Cheng, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is the ceremony first and then the soldiers."
That's right, courtesy first and soldiers later.
The last time the Zhennan Palace sent envoys to congratulate the crown prince in front of all the officials, but the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne. Since the court ignored it, the Southern Border Army sent troops directly to the east
This is a naked threat!
Now the Southern Border Army is just marching, but what's next
Is the next step going to be siege? !
The Southern Frontier Army beat the wolves and tigers of the Xiye people to bow their heads and surrender, and even Baiyue and Nanliang were also captured. There is no doubt about their combat power. How long can it last? !
If Dayu really came to the point where the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, then these courtiers would be Dayu's criminals, and they would be reviled in the history books in the future, and they would be infamous forever!
The hall was dead silent, even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Time seemed to slow down until Cheng Dongyang stood up resolutely and said: "The military situation in Western Xinjiang is urgent, we should call all the officials to discuss with His Royal Highness immediately!"
Several other cabinet ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all responded without any objection.
The imperial palace then became commotion, and an hour later, the Jinshen Hall was packed full of civil and military officials. All the ministers had heard about the Western Frontier Military News, and the atmosphere was like dark clouds, and a storm was about to come.
In the hall, no one dared to raise their voices to meet the "war". After a while, a minister said with insufficient confidence that the Zhennan Palace clearly used the "empty city strategy" to intimidate, and never dared to attack the city!
Immediately afterwards, someone asked back, if there is an emergency, can he afford it? !
Han Lingfan sat on the head in a bright yellow prince's robe, looking down at the ministers who were thinking about each other, pursed his lips, his eyes were dim, and let them argue endlessly below.
How familiar is this scene!
It used to be like this to Changdi, it used to be like this to Xiye, and it's still like this now!
This is his rich civil and military officials, the pillars of the imperial court
The noise in the hall stopped abruptly soon, and another muffled thunder exploded right after the Xijiang Military News!
A little servant trembled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, the envoys sent by Zhennan Palace have entered the capital!"
All civil and military officials were silent, thinking: The envoys of the Zhennan Palace may have to wait for this military report from Xijiang before entering the city, and those who come will not come if they are not kind.
In the long silence, a tall and handsome young soldier rushed to the Jinshen Hall with strides, walked forward without being humble and humble under the gaze of all the officials, and faced the crown prince Han Lingfan.
"General Li Zicheng of the Southern Frontier Army's Loyal Army will meet with His Royal Highness Prince Dayu, and I will come to the capital to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor by the order of the prince!"
Li Zicheng's not particularly loud voice resounded in the hall, but it was so loud that all the officials dared not look directly at him.
What Li Zicheng said clearly meant that he would stay in the king and not leave, he would wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne!
This is clearly the eyeliner sent by Zhennan King to the capital, and this eyeliner was sent in an aboveboard manner.
This step is an upright conspiracy!
It's up to Dayu to take it or not!
The corners of Li Zicheng's lips are slightly raised, his posture is loose, and he looks calm and relaxed.
In contrast, the civil and military officials were hunched and fearful. They only felt that there was a huge sword swung from the west in front of them, and that sword was already hanging high above the capital.
The crown prince Han Lingfan and Li Zicheng standing in the middle of the hall looked straight at each other. All the officials thought that all this was controlled by Zhennan King, but Han Lingfan's heart was like a mirror. He knew that all of this was Zhennan Prince Xiao Yi. the meaning of!
Han Lingfan took a deep breath, opened his lips to greet Zhennan Wang and his son, and then ordered his servant to lead Li Zicheng to stay in Chaotianyi temporarily.
Li Zicheng didn't stay any longer, and after thanking the crown prince, he left Jinshen Hall and walked towards the gate of the palace with brisk steps. Soon, he heard the minister's voice faintly coming from the hall behind:
"His Royal Highness, it has been more than a month since the funeral of Emperor Daxing, please mourn your Highness. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and please your Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that the people's hearts will be at ease, and the country will be established!"
Immediately afterwards, the ministers echoed in unison: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
Li Zicheng stopped in his tracks, looked back, and saw that all the officials in the hall were all short, kneeling on the ground, and there was a mass of darkness
The corner of Li Zicheng's mouth curled into a mocking arc. It seemed that his mission on this trip went well, and he might be able to return to southern Xinjiang ahead of schedule.
Li Zicheng turned his head without hesitation, and continued to walk forward. This time, he never stopped.
Sitting in the palace, Han Lingfan watched Li Zicheng go away, and then looked at the officials who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes were a little dry, his chest was churning and clamoring, and his mood was complicated.
He seemed to be high-spirited when all the officials surrendered, but the experience of the past year flashed before his eyes, and those encounters and neglect were still vivid in his memory. He knew that even if he successfully ascended the throne, there was not a bright road in front of him.
Ascension to the throne is only the first step
To change Dayu, the road ahead is long and arduous.
The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
With the arrival of Li Zicheng, the government and the opposition seemed to be united and actively supported the crown prince Han Lingfan as soon as possible.
The Empress Dowager was not reconciled, and summoned all the elders and clansmen to have an audience, making a big fuss. However, this time, the situation was quite different.
With the acquiescence and support of the imperial family, the queen asked the queen mother to "recover with peace of mind" in Yongle Palace.
The implication is that the Queen Mother will be placed under house arrest in Yongle Palace.
In front of absolute power, it is useless for the Queen Mother to say more, even if she wants to commit suicide, she still needs someone to give her this chance!
After all, the right to speak is in the hands of those in power!
Without the hindrance of the Queen Mother, everything went much smoother.
On the second day of November, several cabinet ministers headed by Cheng Dongyang came to Fengluan Palace and impassionedly knelt down to ask the queen to choose a date to invite the prince to ascend the throne.
The cabinet ministers had already discussed the matter of ascension to the throne, so far, it was just a formality, and then the queen chose a date, and finally decided that the crown prince will ascend the throne on the sixth day of November
The ruling and opposition parties breathed a sigh of relief, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.
Then, the news that the crown prince was about to enthroned quickly spread throughout the capital as if he had grown wings. The entire capital cheered and cheered away, dispelling Di Beng's sorrow. Wisps of sunlight faintly pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, and the dawn began to emerge
In the afternoon of the same day, the Crown Prince Han Lingfan left the palace under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, and went to Princess Yongyang's Mansion in person. After that, the soldiers who had been outside the Princess Mansion for more than a month finally retreated. Han Lingfan met Yongyang with a big salute, and respectfully invited him to serve as an assistant in the court.
On the sixth day of November, the prince ascended the throne with the support of the chief assistant and all the officials, and was worshiped by all the officials in the Golden Luan Hall.
On the ninth day of the 11th lunar month, the Daxing Emperor’s spirit rose from Zigong and moved into the imperial mausoleum.
In the court hall, everything was settled, and no one raised any doubts about the late emperor's death, as if nothing had happened.
However, this is not the case among the people. The delay of the new emperor's ascension to the throne has attracted a lot of speculation and gossip.
Some people swear that since the death of the emperor in ancient times, if there were no accidents, he would stay for seventy-seven forty-nine days, but Emperor Daxing stayed in the palace for fifty-four days, and the delay was so long. There are hidden secrets!
Some people say that the new emperor's delay in ascension to the throne is due to his lack of character, and even the empress dowager did not attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
There were also people who questioned, why did the late emperor suddenly die suddenly in his prime of life before his destiny? !
All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors spread among the people, and all kinds of suspicious eyes were directed at the new emperor.
Over the years, the first emperor has been erratic on the issue of establishing a reserve, which has attracted party disputes and led to instability in the court. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he should have stabilized the court as soon as possible. The floods caused the victims to flee and become homeless, which caused civil disorder and banditry.
It is an internal worry that a series of excerpts are rushed to the court at eight hundred miles.
In the ruling and opposition circles, many courtiers were even more worried that King Zhennan would send his troops straight to the capital at some point, and felt that the southern border army was eyeing Dayu in western and southern borders as a foreign aggression.
It has only been a few days since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Dayu court is full of turmoil and turmoil.
In this dignified atmosphere, Han Lingfan was busy dealing with various government affairs every day, and the cock crowed until midnight.
The empress, who is now the empress dowager, was heartbroken seeing her son getting thinner day by day, so she could only order the maids around Han Lingfan to take good care of the new emperor's dragon body.
On November 11th, at the early court, after the little eunuch said, "If you have a book, you will go to the court, if you don't have a book, you will leave the court." The administration of the court has brought a new look to the court, and then it articulates its true purpose forcefully:
"After the late emperor's funeral, the ministers knew that the emperor was in mourning, and wanted to keep his filial piety for the late emperor. However, the emperor's knees were still empty, and the royal family had no heirs, which was not good for the country. For the sake of the great prosperity of the country, I also ask the emperor to marry a wife as soon as possible and register as a queen. Continuing the heirs for the royal family, so that there will be successors in the country!"
There was a moment of silence in the Golden Luan Hall, and then there was a commotion.
The courtiers first looked at each other in blank dismay, and then took it for granted.
In the folk, there is also the custom of getting married during the filial piety, but it is very rare, and it is usually because the bride and groom are too old to wait, so they have to do it, and it is not a glorious thing.
But it's another matter for the royal family. After all, the heirs of the royal family are related to the country and the country.
Seeing the astonished expression of the new emperor, the ministers exchanged another look. It seems that this incident was not arranged by the new emperor.
Before the new emperor could speak, another courtier came out of the queue, also bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Wu said is that it is not good for the country to be left empty. Outside, I think that the candidate for the empress must be her!"
Immediately afterwards, ministers came out one by one to express their "secondary opinion", and the approval of the courtiers echoed one after another in the Golden Luan Hall, which seemed to be of one mind.
For today's turbulent Dayu, marriage with the Zhennan Palace can stabilize people's hearts and the court situation, deter other barbarians who covet Dayu, and even appease Zhennan Palace and southern Xinjiang
It can be said that there is nothing harmful
All the ministers looked at the new emperor with sharp eyes, waiting for his response
Outside the Golden Luan Hall, the cold wind was blowing, and the king's capital had already entered the cold winter in mid-November. This night, a heavy snowfall like goose feathers fell down one after another, freezing to the bones.
Thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, the weather in November is still late autumn.
It wasn't until late November that the weather in southern Xinjiang gradually turned cold to the beginning of December. Finally, it felt a bit like entering winter. The weather in the morning and evening was cold and cold, especially in the suburbs, where the wind was howling.
On this day, over the big camp on the outskirts of Luoyue City, a group of birds detoured. A gray eagle hovered domineeringly in the air, announcing that it was the overlord of the sky here with bursts of loud eagle cries. All that is left is an eagle soaring.
Early in the morning, Xiao Yi brought little Xiao Yu to the camp of Luoyue City as usual, but today was a little different from usual.
Just arrived from Nanliang last night with 3,000 Nanliang horses, and the whole barracks was ebullient about it. The eyes of each battalion and army were fixed on these army horses, and each one of them practiced with momentum like a rainbow, just like the handsome male. Like a peacock spreading its tail.
The new stables are being urgently built, so a large piece of grass has been specially circled in the northwest of the camp for the time being to house these army horses. In the guardrail or eat grass or take a walk or drink or run
"Daddy!"
Outside the guardrail, Xiao Tuanzi, who was hugged by his father, was overjoyed. It was the first time he saw so many horses. His round head looked left and right for a while, and he felt that his eyes were almost blind.
"Daddy, look." The little guy enthusiastically pointed his chubby fingers forward and introduced them to his father one by one, "Red horse! Black horse! White horse! Brown horse!" He grinned from ear to ear, repeating muttering.
Seeing that the grandson likes it, the young general leading the way also laughed heartily, and said to Xiao Yi: "My lord, those little ponies are specially detained in one place, please follow the future."
The young general led Xiao Yi and his son to walk forward along the guardrail. After a while, they came to a small stable, where four small horses were pacing, looking at their temper. Seems pretty docile.
"Stinky boy," Xiao Yi flipped the round meat dumpling in his arms casually, "Choose a horse yourself!"
Xiaotuanzi tilted his head suspiciously, wondering if he understood, and then patted his father's arm, "Choose it yourself." He twisted his body and wanted to get off the ground.
Xiao Yi put the little guy on the grass in a good manner, and was about to talk to him patiently, when he saw the little guy running back and forth, then nimbly bent his waist, and wanted to get into it. to the other stable next to it
How could Xiao Yi let him succeed, he grabbed the little guy by the back collar and pulled him back.
The little guy turned his head in doubt, and looked at him innocently with big eyes like spots of paint, as if saying, Daddy, why are you grabbing me? !
"" Xiao Yi looked at the tall horses in the stables in front of him speechlessly, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
He almost forgot that this stinky boy in their family is obviously not even a little bit big, but he is bold and ambitious, and his ambition is even more lofty. Even though he doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, he wants to pick a tall horse!
"Forget it!" Xiao Yi raised his forehead, skillfully picked up the brat, and led him directly into the pony's stable. After glancing around, he picked out a white pony and put the brat in his arms on the horse's back.
These little ponies were originally chosen to be dedicated to their grandchildren, so they are naturally gentle. Even if a heavy object suddenly appeared on their backs, they just snorted lightly and flicked their pony tails leisurely.
Although this is just a small colt, it is only as high as Xiao Yi's waist, but it is already very tall for the little guy, but little Xiao Yu usually rides with his father, flying over eaves and walking on walls. It is also a common thing, and he has long been used to it. Not only is he not afraid, but he is very happy. His feet move on the horse's back, as if he is imitating an adult to ride a horse.
Looking at it, Xiao Yi couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and gestured to the groom in gray, who quickly put a bit on the white pony.
Next, as the little guy wished, he took him for a walk on the horse.
Xiao Tuanzi was satisfied with just pacing the horse for a while, and giggled laughter kept escaping from his lips and teeth, attracting many nearby lieutenant soldiers, all of whom looked at Xiao Xiao Yu with brilliant eyes, and said in their hearts : Although their grandchildren are under two years old, look at their courage, they already look like fathers!
After strolling around slowly, Xiao Yi was going to hug Xiao Yu off the horse, but he heard a familiar roar from behind: "Ni Ayi, what are you doing?!"
Xiao Yi held the little guy's bulging waist with one hand, turned around and followed the sound, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade belt around the fence a few feet away, staring at him with angry eyes. The eyes are almost bursting with fire, and the veins on the forehead are clearly discernible.
It is Zhennan King!
King Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi furiously. He heard that a group of Nanliang horses had come to the army today, so he came here to visit the camp excitedly. He didn't expect to see such a scene!
Xiao Yi casually looked into Zhennan Wang's eyes, and said confidently: "Father, I am riding a horse with the stinky boy!"
This rebel! Zhennan Wang pointed at Xiao Yi with trembling fingers, this rebellious son still didn't feel that he was at fault! How old is Brother Yu, but he is big enough to take such a small child to ride a horse!
Nonsense! What nonsense!
King Zhennan was almost terrified. If brother Yu accidentally fell off his horse, would this rebellious son be able to afford to pay for his precious golden grandson? !
Zhennan Wang took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger a little, strode over, and walked straight to the pony.
This pair of father and son, who seemed to be enemies in the previous life, stood facing each other, but a few feet apart, one was lazy and casual, while the other looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Nizi, Brother Yu is the only one" Zhennan Wang gritted his teeth and said, just about to teach this Nizi a good lesson, when he heard a milk voice shouting happily: "Zuzu!"
As soon as Xiao Xiaoyu heard his grandfather call his name, he responded enthusiastically, stretched out his arms, and said: "Zuzu hug".
Zhennan Wang suddenly forgot to talk to Xiao Yi, and skillfully hugged his baby Jinsun, and said lovingly: "Our Brother Yu is so good!"
Such a caring Jinsun has such an incomprehensible father! Thinking about it, King Zhennan couldn't help but glared at Xiao Yi again.
Xiao Yu got the compliment, and smiled even more happily, and couldn't wait to show off the gift he just got—the white pony.
"White horse, mine!" He pointed to the pony, and then to himself.
The little guy looked at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion with a pair of sparkling eyes, as if he was saying, Grandpa, isn't my pony beautiful
Not to mention a small pony, as long as Xiao Yu likes it, so what if he gives the thousands of Nanliang horses here to his golden grandson? ! King Zhennan nodded with a smile, and said, "Brother Yu, did you name the pony?"
Xiao Xiaoyu tilted his head and blinked his eyes. His pony is the same color as Han Yu and Mao Xiaobai, so it is called—
"Little cloud!" White cloud!
King Zhennan looked at his grandson's serious face, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Okay, let's call him Xiaoyun!" Their brother Yu is so smart! It really is the seed of their old Xiao family!
Zhennan Wang lost sight of Xiao Yi for a long time, and only had his precious Jinsun in his eyes. He hugged Xiao Yu cheerfully and left, not forgetting to order his soldiers to take the white pony away.
The few soldiers who came here with King Zhennan were worried that the prince and the son would have a dispute over the division of horses, but they didn't expect that the topic would have a chance to talk about that, and the prince's heart was all on the grandson. And take care of military affairs? !
Recalling that the story about Zhennan Wang Xue's "Yan Ziling fishing on Qili Beach" was once widely circulated in the army, several soldiers felt that they were telling the truth. The lord is going to go into seclusion, and play tricks on his grandchildren!
Under the eyes of everyone who didn't understand, Zhennan Wang took Xiao Xiao Yu to his central tent, and took out all the small toys specially prepared in the tent to offer treasures.
The grandfather and grandson just hid in the tent and played for more than half an hour, and Zhennan King was reluctant to send Jinsun back.
However, Xiao Xiaoyu is playful and greedy for new things. After playing all the drums, bells, and balls in the camp, he felt bored, so he yelled at his grandfather to go riding a horse, and the town Where did Nan Wang dare to let such a young Jinsun ride a horse, so he randomly found a soldier and ordered him to be Xiao Yu's horse.
Who knew that Xiao Xiaoyu was an opinionated person who said that riding a horse is riding a horse. Since his grandfather refused, he ran to find his father
Seeing Jinsun just abandoning himself and throwing himself into the arms of Xiao Yi's rebellious son, King Zhennan suddenly felt his heart was empty, and his big tent was also empty.
Without Jinsun, this barracks is really lifeless!
King Zhennan simply left the camp with his long followers, and rode his horse all the way back to Luoyue City.
While the horseshoes were flying, King Zhennan was not idle, thinking in his heart: I have to find something interesting for Jinsun to please him!
Didn't that naughty son Xiao Yi just give away a pony? !
Well, he couldn't believe he couldn't find a better gift than a pony!
Zhennan Wang raised his whip, swung it down with a "snap", and galloped all the way without stopping.
When he returned to the Zhennan Palace, it was just after noon, and the warm winter sun shone with golden light, making him feel warm and comfortable all over.
After King Zhennan entered the palace through a corner door, he quickly got off his horse and threw the rope to a boy in blue. He originally planned to go to the outer study room, but who knew that the young servant said respectfully at the side: "My lord, half an hour ago, the envoys from the king's capital came, and they are waiting for the lord in the mansion!"
An envoy from the capital? ! The king of Zhennan stopped suddenly, looked at the boy in surprise, and was in a mess for a while.
In the past few months, although King Zhennan was "busy" fishing in the palace, he was not deaf. After hearing about the death of the emperor and the enthronement of the crown prince, he forgot about it.
I didn't expect that he didn't miss others, but they always missed him!
Why did the new emperor send envoys to southern Xinjiang? !
King Zhennan couldn't help but have this question in his mind.
Could it be that after ascending to the throne, the new emperor remembered that he had to settle old accounts and sent someone to investigate the matter of South Korea's independence
Why did Xindi insist on coming to him? ! He doesn't know anything about Nanyang Lili or something!
With a snap of his fingers, King Zhennan was already thinking a lot, his face was blue and white, and his face was really not very good-looking.
The servant carefully looked at Zhennan Wang's expression, and said: "My lord, the envoy is in the Beifeng Hall."
King Zhennan responded casually, and after hesitating for a while, he strode towards the direction of Beifeng Hall, feeling so regretful that his guts turned green. If he had known that there would be envoys from the capital today, he should have stayed in the barracks and come back later so that Xiao Yi, the rebellious son, could deal with the envoys!
Zhennan Wang deliberately took one step into two steps, and went to Beifeng hall slowly.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a brown brocade robe sitting at the bottom of the Beifeng Hall, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a big belly. He looked like Maitreya Buddha.
The middle-aged man also saw King Zhennan, immediately put down his teacup and got up to greet him.
"The lower official's right deputy governor, Wang Jinyou, sees the lord!" The middle-aged man bowed courteously, looked at the king of Zhennan with enthusiasm, and smiled apologetically, "I haven't seen you for many years, the lord has become more and more wise and powerful."
King Zhennan felt goosebumps all over his body, and he felt like a piece of fat that was missed by others, but he pretended to be nonchalant and sat down on the upper chair with a golden knife.
"Wang Yushi is very polite, please sit down." Zhennan Wang smiled boldly and motioned for the other party to sit down.
"Thank you, my lord."
Wang Jinyou sat down again, and the maid serving in the hall immediately served hot tea to King Zhennan.
Wang Jinyou also held up the teacup, took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said again: "My lord, I have come all the way to southern Xinjiang this time, and I am asking you to go north to the capital."
Going north to the capital? The teacup in King Zhennan's hand was almost unsteady, and his face darkened. This Wang Yushi wanted to send him north to the king's capital to punish him!
Zhennan Wang was about to turn his face, but he heard Wang Jinyou spit out the last two words: "Assist the government."
King Zhennan froze for an instant, a little dumbfounded.
Co-government? !
He recognized these two words, but why didn't he seem to understand them together? !
The new emperor wants him to assist the government in the capital? !
