At the end of the twelfth lunar month, all households were also busy. Wuruo.com is the first to launch and there is no shortage of wealthy people in Beijing. As long as there are good things, they will be robbed as soon as they go on the market. However, because the Korean government is still observing filial piety, the mansion is still relatively deserted. Han Gao hurried into Han Jianming's study from the outside. At this time, Tan Jianming is playing chess with Mr. Zhao in the house. Han Gao didn't dare to bother anymore. He waited until the game was over before he told the news: "Master of the country, the emperor has a stroke."
Han Jianming stood up and asked, "How did you get a stroke?"
Han Gao shook his head and said, "I heard that it was caused by the old disease." For the specific reason, the prince blocked the news, and they couldn't find out. The main reason was that the strength of the government was not good, and the information to inquire was limited.
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "It's the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month. If it's just a general condition, it will definitely be hidden. Now it seems that the disease must be very serious."
Han Jianming thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see what happens!" Anyway, they are keeping filial piety, even if the prince Shangqiu's house and Song's family acted, they would not be involved.
The emperor was not seriously ill, but saw a beautiful court lady wanting to be pampered. The body was originally empty, and she was still eating something for fun, so she drew it away before she was pampered. The court lady fainted as the emperor fainted, and hit the pillar and committed suicide.
The emperor spent a night in the imperial physician to rescue him, but the emperor suffered a stroke.
When Yuchen got the news, he knew that this was wrong: "Let me ask, what is going on?" Since the emperor fell ill last time, most of the eunuchs who served by his side were eunuchs, and a small number of them were also old and faint. Mother. Well, why did you fall in love with the beautiful palace lady, there must be something tricky in it.
Grandma Gui did not agree with Yuchen to do so, and said: "This matter in the inner courtyard of the palace, we still better not mix up." Grandma Gui didn't want Yuchen to be involved in the palace.
Yu Chen shook his head and said, "I have a sense of measure."
Although Mother Gui was unwilling, she could only compromise. In the evening, Mother Gui told Yuchen what she had received: "Manny, this matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. As for who is behind the scenes, I don't know for the time being."
Yuchen showed a playful look, and said, "This is interesting. Who is the master behind this scene? What is the picture?" The prince must be impossible. He has already been in prison, so there is no need to kill his father. As for the Yu family and Song family, it would not poison the emperor. The prince had always wanted to weaken the strength of the two families, so the two families must have hoped that the emperor would live longer. After all, although the prince supervises the country, he is the crown prince after all, and many things will be hampered.
Mother Gui shook her head and said she didn't know. But looking at Yuchen’s smile a little weird, Grandma Gui asked: "Princess, do you already know who it is?"
Yu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller. I can pinch and count. But I always feel that this cannot be a coincidence."
Grandma Gui said: "Wang Hao, this matter should not be investigated anymore." If Concubine Song or the prince knows that they have placed someone in the palace, it will not look good at that time.
Yuchen nodded: "Let it down temporarily."
New Year's Eve is the day of family reunion. Usually at this time, I would go to the palace to worship the emperor and empress. The Guogong Mansion was still in the filial piety period this year, so I didn't go there. On New Year's Eve, the family ate together.
While eating, the housekeeper hurried in from outside, without shying away from it, and said loudly: "The Lord, the old lady, the emperor is dead."
Han Jianming listened to his hand and asked, "The emperor is dead?" He thought that the emperor would have to spend another three or five months! As a result, it was gone after less than three days.
The Qiu family was not as calm as Han Jianming, and said, "Hurry up and take out the banquet and take out white cloth to make filial piety." Although Shou Xiao has filial piety before, it cannot be reused and must be done.
After everything was cleaned up, the group went into the palace to cry in mourning. This is the rule, the emperor died, the civil and military officials, and all levels of order have to go to the palace to cry for mourning.
At the gate of the palace, Han Jianming separated from Qiu's and other female relatives. Before leaving, Han Jianming asked Ye's family to say: "Take care of your mother." Han Jianming would say this because every time he encounters a big funeral, he gets sick. people. Especially in this very cold day, going to cry in mourning is even more sinful. Every time they came down, half of the people had to fall, and the older ones couldn't bear it and followed them directly. Although Qiu's body is considered good, he may not be able to carry such a funeral.
Han Jianming's worry is not unreasonable. Qiu's family caught a cold on this day, and started a fever the next day. Han Jianming felt sorry for his old mother, so he went directly to the clan's mansion to report the incident, so that the Qiu family stopped going to the harem to cry for funeral. And Ye's and Lu Xiu, they go to the palace every day before dawn, and come back when it gets dark. No one dared to complain even if they were exhausted and resisted.
By the time the emperor was in the funeral, both Ye's and Lu Xiu lost a lot of weight.
The emperor is gone, and the prince will be enthroned after he is buried. Han Jianming's relationship with the prince has been weak. The prince had wooed Han Jianming before, but he refused. At this time, Han Jianming was a little worried, and said to Mr. Zhao: "Do you think the prince will be jealous?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about the grandfather of the country. The prince ascended to the throne must be thinking about how to seize power from the Yu Xiang and the Song family.” Although Han Jianming is the grandfather of the country, he is not powerful enough. Only when the position is firm.
If he did not know that the prince was involved in the Tongcheng tragedy, Mr. Zhao would definitely persuade Han Jianming to take refuge in the prince. After all, the prince is the prince, and he is capable, and the future of relying on the prince is bright.
Han Jianming said.
The two talked about the situation in North Korea and China. Before they finished discussing it, they heard the maid coming over to report: "Master Guo, the old lady invites you to come over."
When the Qiu family saw Han Jianming, he scolded, "Yuxi was stabbed and almost lost his life. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
A stern look flashed in Han Jianming's eyes. He kept hiding the news, and he didn't know which maid who had no eyes told his mother: "Mother, Yuxi is okay, but the arm is hurt a bit, it's not a serious problem. Do not you worry?"
Qiu's anger died: "You still want to hoodwink me. Why did you get hurt? The dagger that stabbed Yuxi's capital was smeared with poison, and you still want to hide it from me." At this point, Qiu's tears came. : "This kid, how come there are so many disasters!"
Han Jianming deliberately pretended to be very angry and said: "Mother, what dagger is poisoned, who is talking nonsense to you? Yuxi is in Yucheng well, who wants to curse her so viciously?" About Yu Hee must not tell his mother that he was almost killed by poisoning.
Qiu asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me?"
Han Jianming said, "Mother, what did I lie to you? I think it will be February soon, and Yuxi's letter should be here. When you read the letter, you will believe that Yuxi is okay."
The Qiu family measured it in his heart, and said, "This is what your second cousin's aunt said, she shouldn't be talking nonsense!"
Han Jianming revealed disgust in his eyes. He told Qiu's all the ins and outs of the matter at the moment. Of course, he concealed the poisonous section on the dagger.
The Qiu clan chanted Amitabha Buddha: "I don't know who is so heart-hearted. I use those poor children and I am not afraid of going down to the eighteenth hell after death." Knowing the reason, the Qiu clan can't say that Yuxi is reckless. After all, it is related to the safety of so many children, and it cannot be said that Yuxi is wrong.
Han Jianming said, "Mother, the Zhou family is still rare. They have taken refuge in the new emperor now, and we don't know what will happen in the future." Han Jianming had no affection for the Zhou family. , Where is he willing to have a deep relationship with them.
The Qiu family didn’t know much about Chaotang, but she listened to her son’s words: "If they come again in the future, I will let your wife entertain them." After a pause, the Qiu family still asked uneasyly: "Yu Is Hee Jin okay?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Mother, Yuxi is really fine, don't worry about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, I heard Han Gaojin say: "The letter from the old lady, the grandfather of the country, and the grandmother of the fourth aunt is here." This letter is an express mail of 800 miles.
Qiu hurriedly said, "Let me see it quickly." As long as she read the letter, she knew if Han Jianming lied to her.
After opening the letter, Qiu's was relieved. The handwriting on the letter is from Yuxi, and you know that Yuxi is okay just by reading the letter. A person who is dying, how can he write such a strong character
Han Jianming didn't think that Yuxi sent him the letter quickly, so he said something irrelevant: "Mother, I have something to deal with."
Qiu's said: "Business matters, you go now!" In addition to worrying about Xiayuan and Han Jianye in Yucheng, Qiu's life is still very comfortable. Now in the filial piety period, Han Jianming will come to Changle Yuan to eat at noon and evening every day. Although Han Jianming wouldn't say nice things to make Qiu's happy, his thoughts were enough to make Qiu's useful.
Back in the front yard, Han Jianming opened Yuxi's letter, and then opened the words according to the way agreed by the two, and wrote the opened words on white paper. After writing, Han Jianming fixedly looked at the words on the paper. . After a while, Han Jianming said, "Go and invite Mr. Zhao over."
Mr. Zhao lived next to him and came over in less than three minutes. Mr. Zhao asked, "Duke Guo, what did the fourth aunt's grandma say in the letter?"
Han Jianming said: "Drought."
Mr. Zhao didn't understand? "What do you mean?" Seeing Han Jianming also shook his head, he was immediately speechless: "What kind of riddle did Grandma Sigu play?"
Han Jianming said, "Could it be that this year might be a drought?" After that, he shook his head. It definitely didn't mean this. How could Yuxi know that this was something that even the Qin Tianjian couldn't judge, there must be other meanings in it.
Thinking of this, Han Jianming said, "Could someone know our communication method? That's why Yuxi wrote these two words specially?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head, he was not sure about this.
