Capital

Duke of Lu's Mansion

"It's too presumptuous, it's really too presumptuous." Xi Chengan finally couldn't take it anymore when he returned home from the anger he had held back from the court. He slapped the table angrily in the study, and finally couldn't control the anger in his heart, and walked into the room go.

Xi Nianzhi handed him a cup of warm tea, then helped Xi Chengan to sit down, and comforted him: "Father, don't get so angry, getting angry is not good for your health."

At this moment, the door of the study was opened again, "Father, little brother." It was the eldest son Xi Nianji who came in, and he was holding a child in dusty clothes, who was obviously a servant, about five or six years old. .

The two people in the room looked at the child in Xi Nianji's arms curiously, "Brother, who is this child?"

"This is the son of the Sixth Prince." Xi Nianji wanted to put the child down, but the child seemed to be frightened, and hugged Xi Nianji's neck tightly and did not let go.

Xi Chengan's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously: "What's going on, why did the sixth prince's son-in-law let you bring him back to the mansion? The crown prince has attacked the sixth prince's mansion?"

Xi Nianji explained with an ugly face: "After the court today, the crown prince sent someone to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to deliver an imperial decree, saying that the Sixth Prince was not in the capital, so he let the Sixth Prince's concubine and the little emperor's grandson enter the palace to perform filial piety on behalf of their husbands and fathers. The concubine replaced the child with the staff left by the sixth prince. The person who entered the palace with her was a substitute. If she leaves, she will scare the snake away, and she may not be able to leave, but she will still have a chance if she stays."

Both Xi Nianzhi and Xi Chengan understood what it means to be filial on behalf of one's father. The words are so grandiose, but they are actually taking the sixth concubine and their children into the palace as hostages.

"What the hell is he trying to do? Today, the court jailed all the ministers who opposed his opinions. Zhang Shangshu died on the spot because of being humiliated. If it wasn't for his cousin, I think he would even scold me. "Xi Chengan really doesn't understand what the prince is thinking. The Holy Majesty's health is not good, and it seems that he can't hold on for a few years. He just needs to wait patiently. Sooner or later, that position will be his. He has been waiting for more than ten years. Why? He couldn't even wait for such a short time now.

Looking at these things he is doing now, apart from making the Holy Majesty and the ministers disgusted and afraid, what benefits can the prince get.

Regarding the prince's current actions and thoughts, the three of the Xi family father and son couldn't figure it out, "What exactly is the prince thinking? Could it be that he has gone into trouble?"

Xi Nianzhi changed his mind, thought for a while and asked, "Did the prince only order the sixth prince and concubine to enter the palace?"

Xi Nianji shook his head, "No, several princes have entered the palace, including their wives and children."

"What is he doing?" Xi Chengan was shocked.

The three father and son looked at each other, and they all understood the information revealed in each other's eyes, and the three said in unison: "He wants to force the palace to rebel!"

"Is he mentally ill?" Xi Nianzhi couldn't figure it out.

Xi Chengan shook his head, "I don't know, but the prince's behavior has changed a lot in the past few years. His temper is irritable, he is arbitrary, and he doesn't listen to anyone's opinions. Since His Majesty fell ill, the whole court has been disturbed by the prince. weep."

Xi Chengan: "No, we can't wait like this any longer. If the crown prince really succeeds in coercing the palace, even though our Duke's mansion has your grandmother in charge, if the crown prince doesn't dare to reveal it, then we will perform the surgery, but don't forget, Nian Xiu is on the keel. Guan is with the sixth prince, if something happens to him, we won't be able to find out for a while."

Xi Nianji nodded and said: "With the prince's current temperament, after he takes office, he might really not care about our blood relationship."

Xi Chengan sat behind the desk, twirling the teacup in one hand, putting the other on the table, tapping the desk with his index finger, and said in thought: "Therefore, if you want to prevent your wife from forcing the palace, there are only two ways. The battalion entered the city to rescue you, but please ask the Xiaoqi battalion to need a dragon talisman. The dragon talisman is in His Majesty's hands. We can't get it. Hold on."

"The second is to let the sixth prince bring people back to Beijing, but if the sixth prince does this, then the prince will have a reason to arrest the sixth prince, and the biggest problem is that all this is just our conjecture. , none of us know."

"But he called the other princes into the palace. If he didn't force the palace, then he really called them in to serve His Majesty." Anyway, Xi Nianzhi didn't believe that the prince really asked people to enter the palace to fulfill their filial piety.

"Boom~dong~" Suddenly the door of the study room was knocked, the father and son in the room stopped discussing immediately, Xi Nianzhi walked over and opened the door of the study room.

It was the butler who knocked on the door, and behind him was an unknown servant.

"Housekeeper, what's the matter?" As long as the father and son were in the study, the housekeeper would not disturb them under normal circumstances.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Young Master, this person is in a hurry to find the Duke."

Xi Nianzhi looked at the servant behind him, he was about twenty years old, his face was white and beardless, his fingers unconsciously raised his orchid fingers, his eyes flashed, and he said to the housekeeper, "You go down first."

After the steward left, he said to the servant: "Come with me."

"Slave Yun Qi pays homage to the Duke, the son of the world." This man knelt down immediately after entering the room, with a high-pitched voice, "The slave is the grandson of Shu Gonggong next to your majesty, and the slave is running for your majesty on behalf of the grandpa. Your Majesty asked the slave to hand it over to the Duke." Yun Qi took out a sealed box and a letter from her bosom.

There was no seal on the letter, so Grandpa Guo opened it and took out the letter inside. The letter on the letter was written in His Majesty's own handwriting to lock the book. There is nothing wrong with it, but the content on it made Xi Chengan's face change drastically.

Asked: "Eunuch Yun Qi, how is your majesty's body now?"

Yun Qi: "Grandpa returning home, His Majesty was originally just a little cold, but some people didn't want His Majesty to get better. Except for His Majesty's Yuqing Palace, other palaces in the palace are completely controlled. Although the servants are served by Yuqing Palace, they are just One is cleaning, and besides His Majesty, no one knows that this servant is the grandson of Shu Gonggong, and because this servant is a palace sweeper, they didn't catch their eyes, so they had the opportunity to sneak out."

"Before the servant left the palace, His Majesty's original words were: I can delay for a while, but the outside depends entirely on my cousin."

"Go back and tell Your Majesty that I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's entrustment." The Duke helped Yun Qi up, "Go back and tell Your Majesty to take good care of his body."

Yun Qi: "No, this slave will tell His Majesty, Duke, Prince, Your Highness Shaojun, this slave has returned to the palace."

"Be careful, don't get caught." Xi Nianji instructed.

"Don't worry, Shizi, since the slave can come out safely, he will definitely return to the palace safely." Yun Qi smiled, and suddenly seeing the face of the child in Shizi's arms, Yun Qi's eyes flashed, and then the smile became even wider.

"Father, what is Your Majesty saying?" After Yun Qi left, Xi Nianzhi asked.

"The prince really wants to force the palace, but he has not found the jade seal, otherwise he would have been forced to do so long ago." Xi Chengan picked up the wooden box next to him, "Inside are the jade seal and two imperial edicts, one is the imperial edict to abolish the crown prince, One is His Majesty's imperial decree for the Sixth Prince to ascend the throne directly."

After Xi Chengan finished speaking, the study room was immediately quiet as before, and finally it was Xi Nianzhi who broke the atmosphere and said, "Your Majesty's body?"

"Your Majesty said in his heart that his body is exhausted, but he will try his best to wait for the sixth prince to return to the palace."

"The sixth prince must be notified to come back as soon as possible."

"But the whole capital city is under the control of the crown prince, how to send the letter out."

Xi Nianzhi changed his mind and said slyly: "I have a solution."

After he explained the method, both Xi Chengan and Xi Nianji felt that this method was feasible, "Bao'er, take Yugeer, Huaiyu and the little emperor grandson away together."

"Why?" Xi Nianzhi was puzzled.

Xi Nianji was worthy of being the young master of the capital, and immediately understood why his father asked his younger brother to take away the two children.

He explained: "Since the crown prince wants to push the palace to the throne, he must need the support of the ministers, especially in our Duke's mansion. His grandmother is the prince's aunt, and his father is the prince's cousin. He must hope for the support of the Duke's mansion, but he Knowing the characters of father and grandmother, they will definitely not support him, and those ministers who are loyal to His Majesty in the court will not support him either."

"Since he has called those princes, concubines, and grandchildren into the palace, the next step is our courtiers' families. Only if he controls the courtiers' families, the courtiers will not object to supporting him to take the throne for the safety of the family. .”

"Does he still dare to kill the courtier's family?" Xi Nianzhi bit his lip angrily.

"If he can't find Yuxi all the time, and His Majesty insists that the sixth prince can't return to the palace, then it's normal for the prince to kill the family members of the courtiers who are very opposed to it because your second brother is with the sixth prince. , must be the first serious problem in the crown prince's heart. When the time comes, your majesty will go, and the crown prince will say that your grandmother is getting old, and that she can't bear the blow, and she will go. Unable to bear the two children, I couldn't bear to commit suicide. Seeing that your grandmother, daughter-in-law and grandson are all gone, you couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide. None of us know whether these are true or not, so just in case, you Take the two children and leave."

After Xi Nianzhi heard the ideas of his elder brother and father, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought that these ideas would become real, and even wanted to tear the prince into pieces angrily.

Xi Nianji saw that the younger brother's face was ugly, and comforted him: "Don't be sad, all this is our imagination, maybe the prince is not as crazy as we thought?"

"Huh, look at the things the prince has done during this period, which one is not insane." Suppressing courtiers who opposed him, snatching women from the people to enter the prince's mansion, it is said that every two days, several children will be carried out from the back door of the prince's mansion The corpse of a young girl.

"In case something happens, I'll pack up my things and take the child away immediately."

Xi Chengan: "Well, I will release the news that you said that the two children got the rash. You, the little uncle, feel sorry for them. You have been taking care of the two children, and you have also contracted the rash. Therefore, the three of you, uncle and nephew, cannot see people for the time being, but In this way, Yuan and the others will not be able to leave with you."

Xi Nianji said: "I will send another person to be by my side."

.......

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of the capital, a couple who came to the capital to do business received a letter from their hometown. The old father in his hometown was dying of illness and wanted to see his son and granddaughter for the last time. The couple hurriedly closed the business. He took his twin daughters and a younger brother back to his hometown to visit his seriously ill old father.

And less than an hour after the couple left the capital, the empress decreed: Because His Majesty's dragon body was unwell, the family members of the courtiers were specially invited into the palace to pray for His Majesty with her, and all the courtiers with children and grandchildren were brought into the palace to pray for His Majesty. The little emperors and grandchildren are companions.

The author has something to say: These two days have been a bit busy. Yesterday, the children’s kindergarten held a winter sports meeting. In fact, it was to let the parents run around and play games with the children, but Xiaojiu jumped a few times and felt very tired ヽ(￣ ▽￣)? I fell asleep when I put the child to sleep at night, so there was no code last night.
