The crown prince knew that Chen Yu was ambushed by a horse thief. He was furious. He slapped on the imperial case and said: "It's lawless." Chen Yu has been assassinated by ambushes several times. You don't need to think about who did it. . Yu Xiang and Song Guoji stood upright, and the other important officials lowered their heads to minimize their sense of existence, hoping not to be noticed by the prince.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the prince became more angry, but soon he calmed down and asked: "Uncle, Yu Xiang, I don't know what you think should be done with this matter?" Although he doubted Ji Xuan, he had no evidence. .
Uncle Song Guo said calmly: "The Governor of the Northwest is not a decoration, so let Ji Xuan check it out to see who has the courage."
Yu Xiang said, "I think we should send an imperial envoy to investigate this matter thoroughly. Taining Hou Shizi was ambushed several times before he arrived in Lanzhou. It is conceivable that some officials must have colluded with the robbers and horse thieves, otherwise they Why did you dare to kill Taining Hou Shizi after getting the news."
As soon as these words fell, many officials at the scene couldn't wait for a hole in the ground. Once the hole was drilled, the prince would not be seen by the prince, and would not have such an errand.
Before the prince came up with a candidate for the imperial mission, he saw his confidant eunuch rushing in and said, "His Royal Highness, the emperor suddenly fell to the ground and no longer wakes up." The emperor Guangzong was able to take the position because he had a particularly sturdy relative. Empress mother Guo. Queen Mother Guo not only looks beautiful, but also has great scheming. When Guangzong ascended the throne, the Queen Mother Guo was still alive, and Guangzong was still very diligent at that time. Every day I get up in the morning before dawn, and then honestly review the memorials, and I rarely go to the harem. Unfortunately, Queen Mother Guo passed away in the seventh year of Emperor Guangzong's accession to the throne.
Once the Queen Mother died, no one could suppress Emperor Guangzong, and Guangzong's lewd and lustful nature was revealed. Every day is the beauty of flowers and wine. As for the government, they don't want to be contaminated at all. They are all pushed to the brother of Yu Xiang and his favorite concubine Song, who is now the uncle of Song Guo. This also caused Yu Xiang and Song Guojiu to control the government, making the prince a puppet.
The prince left what was on hand and hurried to the harem. For example, in the future, the palace will be the concubine of Guangzong. In order to avoid suspicion, the prince usually cooks in the former dynasty and returns to the east palace to rest at night. Unless his mother concubine Song Gui concubine summons her, she would not set foot in the harem on weekdays.
When the prince arrived in the harem, the emperor had already woke up. Yu Doctor Rong was examining the emperor’s pulse. After a while, he said that the Guangzong was the evil wind entering the body, and then prescribed a prescription: "The emperor, after taking the medicine, you must calm your body. If you want to maintain your body, you must leave everything alone, even more Don't work hard."
The emperor was very uncomfortable this time, and he was no longer afraid when he heard Yu Doctor Rong say that it was not a serious illness. However, the prince was more mindful and walked outside and asked, "Doctor Rong, how is the condition of the father?" He always felt that there was something in the words of Doctor Rong.
With Emperor Guangzong, Yu Doctor Rong didn't dare to speak too directly. But now that he is facing the prince, Royal Doctor Rong is no longer concealed, and said: "Your Majesty is afraid of wind, fever, pulses are subtle, red face is Daiyang, evil enters the kidneys and waist and abdomen pain..." Guangzong is sick , Is actually caused by excessive sexual intercourse. In the past, I was young and had a good foundation, so I was tossing about it. In recent years, the body has long been weak and the age is old, people who are 40 yuan and 50, naturally all aspects of the body are not good. If in the future, you can be pure-hearted, stop obsessed with beauty and take good care of yourself, you can live a few more years. But if this continues, the gods will be hard to save.
The crown prince looked ugly, this matter was going to be leaked out, and when his father died, he would have to bear a reputation for licentiousness.
The news of the emperor's illness was soon known to people in the capital, but because the emperor didn't care about it, it didn't cause any turmoil.
Han Jianming and Mr. Zhao said: "The emperor has been indulged in beauty these years, and his body has been hollowed out. In the past two years, it has often been reported that the emperor is in poor health. How long."
Mr. Zhao said: "If the crown prince becomes the emperor, there may be changes in the structure of the central government." Being a prince and being an emperor is not a concept at all.
Han Jianming shook his head and said: "The government has been controlled by Yu Xiang and Song Guojiu. What changes can be made. However, if the crown prince becomes the throne, I think Yan Wushuang, who has been hiding in the dark, may show up." After so many years of investigation, except for certainty. Yan Wushuang did not die, hiding in the dark, and no other news was found. He doesn't know where and what he is hiding now.
Mr. Zhao said: "If it weren't for Heshou County Lord last time, the prince would have died. This time he wants to make another move and he will definitely find the most suitable time."
Han Jianming considered it for a long time and said, "Let this matter temporarily, and wait until the prince ascends the throne." When the time comes, it depends on the situation and decides whether to tell the prince that Yan Wushuang is still alive. The prince must be very clear about what he did. If he knew that Yan Wushuang was still alive, he would definitely act. At that time, Yan Wushuang wanted to hide but couldn't hide it.
Han Gao walked in and said, "Master Guo, Yucheng sent the letter." In addition to the letter, he also sent a New Year gift back. But Yuxi was worried that too many things would be eye-catching, so he only packed two boxes. In addition to some precious medicinal materials purchased from the West Sea, there are also some special products from the Northwest. There was also a small amount of stuff, and the person who sent the stuff back dressed up as an ordinary person, and returned to the capital smoothly.
Han Jianming accepted the letter and said, "Send the things to the old lady's yard." This is the second time Yuxi sent things back. The first time was the jade.
After reading the letter, Han Jianming looked ugly. Choosing people around Yuxi that day was a matter of deliberate and deliberate consideration. I was afraid that some details would confuse Yuxi's side, but I didn't expect that there was an error in the end. Fortunately, no harm was caused, otherwise all his efforts were wasted. However, those who are sent to the northwest must be thoroughly investigated again, and there will be no more mistakes.
Seeing these things from Yuxi, the Qiu clan smiled and said, "This girl, there are good things that I don’t want to keep for myself and send them back to the capital. What do you do? This capital lacks this thing." As long as there is money in the capital, it’s nothing. You can't buy things. On the contrary, in the remote place of Yucheng, many things cannot be bought with money.
Mother Li smiled and said, "This is also the filial piety of the fourth aunt's grandmother." Yuxi sent few things, and no one took this reason. Thinking of her old lady, she gave a lot of things, but most of them were taken away. However, Yuxi sent few things, but he had frequent correspondence with the government office. On average, there was one letter a month.
The Qiu clan just said something like this, and he was still very happy: "There should be something for Yuchen in it, and I should pick it out and send it to the King's Palace." For Yuxi and Yuchen, the Qiu clan was not close. Also opinions. After all, they are sisters who have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship has always been very close. If Yuxi ignores Yuchen since then, she will worry about it instead.
Mother Li found a box from the box and said, "I don't know what it is, it's so heavy." The box is not big, but the weight is enough.
Qiu’s family didn’t let anyone open it, and said, “Nineteen out of ten, it’s jade.” Qiu’s words are also based, because she knows that Yuchen’s favorite is jade, followed by pearls, gold, silver and gemstones. Things feel average. Since Yuxi wanted to give Yuchen gifts, she naturally wanted to give Yuchen likes.
After an hour, the things were delivered to the King’s Palace. Yuchen opened the box and saw a jade stone the size of two adult fists in the box. The texture of this jade is fine and pure, without any flaws, and the color is extremely pure, bright and uniform emerald green.
Seeing such a beautiful piece of jade, Yu Chen also showed a smile on his face. She was reluctant to use such top-quality jade as ornaments, and planned to use it as jewelry.
Madam Gui couldn’t help but said: “This is the best jade in jade. Grandma Sigu is really a masterpiece.” Such a big top jade is worth tens of thousands of silver, and it is impossible to buy with money. .
Yuchen smiled and said: "The last time I gave away Hetian white jade, this time I gave away the Laokeng colored glaze species. I don't know what beautiful jade the Fourth Sister will send back next time?"
Mother Gui said: "The Western Regions are rich in beautiful jade. It shouldn't be difficult to find some top-quality jade." With Yun Qing's current position, Yuxi is really not difficult to find the top jade.
Yuchen smiled, and said, "The mouth is short and the hand is short. If you have so many good things, if you have something to ask for. If you don't agree, you can't justify it." After speaking, Yuchen pressed the letter under the jade. Take it out and take a look.
After reading the letter, Yu Chen was startled.
Seeing this, Madam Gui hurriedly asked: "Wang Hao, is Grandma Si Aunt begging you to do something difficult?" No wonder she sent such a piece of top-quality jade, it turned out to be something to ask.
Yuchen shook his head, handed the letter to Ms. Gui, and said, "No." Yuxi wrote in the letter about trivial things at home, and the most often written about it is the date, which is not only loud, but also powerful. big. Crying can deaf a person's ears, and hitting someone can make you sore for a while. Although Yuxi complained repeatedly in the letter, it is not difficult to see that Yuxi, who is a mother, is enjoying it.
Grandma Gui also froze for a moment, and then said: "I don't know if this letter is sincere, or the fourth aunt's grandmother wrote this deliberately?" No way, Yuxi left Grandma Gui feeling like a deep-minded person. Therefore, no matter what, she would speculate Yuxi with the greatest malice.
Yuchen shook her head helplessly, and said, "You have too deep a prejudice against Yuxi." If Yuxi begged her for anything, she would definitely think about it. Now it's just an ordinary letter from the family, and it's all about family matters, so it's so unpredictable!
Grandma Gui said: "Wang Hao, it's not that I have too much prejudice against Sigu's grandmother, but that Sigu's grandmother has been a successful person since she was a child." A six-year-old child has such deep thoughts, such a person is terrible. , Have to guard against.
Yuchen smiled and stopped discussing this topic with Grandma Gui. Mother Gui's prejudice against Yuxi won't change because of her few words, so she doesn't bother to talk about it.
