Huaigui

Chapter 2

"What time is it?"

"It's still a quarter to the hour."

"You have to hurry up, if you don't send it to the imperial concubine, you will be scolded again."

"Have you heard? Just now His Majesty was furious and urgently summoned His Royal Highness King Yu..."

The willow leaves are like scissors, the flowers are just blooming, the spring water is passing by, and everything in Ziwei City is revived.Several little maids walked through the corridor holding utensils, whispering about the half-truths and half-false just heard from various corners.

At a corner, he bumped into a female officer in red, her brows were upside down, and she scolded: "How can we allow you to whisper in the palace city!"

The maid hurriedly lowered her head, submissively: "Yes, it's Mr. Xu——"

The red-clothed female officer frowned and inspected the utensils held by several people, and said: "The imperial concubine wants it? Hurry up and send it to the pagoda. I'm late, and I won't be bothered to take care of it for you when I punish you!"

Seeing the little maids quicken their pace and no longer have the time to talk, Xu Xin withdrew his gaze, clenched the long knife at his waist, and walked in the opposite direction.She detoured a small path, and was about to speed up her pace, when she suddenly saw a garden path outside the Ming Hall, a person wearing a blue square heart curved collar shirt, wearing flowers and willows, was facing her.

Xu Xin bowed his head and wanted to kneel: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

"Lord Xu, you're excused." The young man wrapped in Banzheng's court clothes smiled and returned the gift to her, "Your brother is also summoned?"

"It's the last general who is going to the North Hall, and he will make a detour from here. I don't know that His Majesty is discussing matters with the prince..." Xu Xin maintained his salute posture and did not dare to raise his head, "I hope the prince will forgive me for touching the face of the sky."

"Master Xu is going to the North Palace? It's just right, I'm going to say hello to the Empress on my behalf."

"Yes."

Xu Xin stood on the spot, seeing the figure on the bluestone bricks getting far away, he just raised his head to look in the direction of Mingtang, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was very nostalgic for the few words she had talked with Yu Wang - Yu Wang Gaohong, although he is a royal family, has always been kind to his servants, far better than the emperor and other relatives - but Xu Xin woke up like a dream after a while , and hurried to the destination.

She walked in a hurry and didn't see the person who thought she was traveling far away standing in the corridor. After watching for a long time, she walked towards the bright hall.

The emperor's bedroom was not guarded by heavy soldiers as imagined, only a little notification, and the king of Yu drove straight in.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, King Yu looked at it for a week, and thought that his younger brother's troubles from the past had flared up regardless of the time and place, and he became the emperor, and the sleeping hall was made like this.

He was slandering secretly, the emperor who was sitting at the top was wrapped in a crimson uniform, calling out: "Emperor brother."

"Your Majesty." King Yu saluted, and when he raised his head, he saw a young child sitting on the emperor's lap, he couldn't help being stunned, "Why did Your Majesty bring Jing'er to this place..."

The emperor cheerfully embraced the child in his arms: "Jing'er sneaked here this morning, good boy, he can't speak well, and he can walk around from the North Hall to the Ming Hall by himself, lost his way halfway, and was spotted by Aman Bring him here. I will keep him for a while, and then I will personally send him back to the North Palace."

King Yu said helplessly, "Your Majesty is too fond of you."

The emperor said: "Jing'er is the direct son of me and the empress, so she must be safe."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the two were dignified.Seeing that there were no other people around, the King of Yu ignored the young boy who was holding the emperor's collar to his mouth for the time being, and took a few steps forward: "Your Majesty called the minister to come, but for Longxi—"

"Helan Maojia committed suicide in prison." The emperor said.

"The chaos of the King of Longxi has been settled, so he committed suicide at this time, but he is not afraid of harming his clansmen." King Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty just ordered Helan Maojia to be escorted back to Luo City not long ago. The murder case has not been tried. He died in such a hurry, I am afraid there may be others. Concealment."

The emperor said: "Submit a letter in blood in the prison, and commit suicide to prove your innocence."

King Yu sneered: "Innocence? He clearly raised his troops to besiege the city!"

One word reveals the mystery, and the emperor's happiness and anger are nothing more than a half-thought.

"Mingyue... out of the Western Mountain?" The emperor muttered a ray of obsession in a low voice, and immediately changed his face, his eyes were sharp and fierce, "Maybe Helan Maojia didn't mean it, or maybe he had a different intention-come here! Order, King Longxi treason, commit suicide in fear of crime, lose his title, take back the gift of heaven, as for the Helan people—"

King Yu heard the words and got up quickly: "Your Majesty, no!"

The emperor paused word by word: "Zhu, San, Clan!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, the footsteps of the eunuch who passed the decree to retreat were too soft, King Yu froze in place.

A single word that can't be contained can cause blood to flow like a river. King Yu gritted his teeth and only looked at the emperor in the middle.Two years younger than myself, she is sharp and sharp. Under the tradition of "establishing the virtuous but not establishing the elders" in this dynasty, she is like a bright pearl.

The moment the child's laughter came to his ears, a certain thought hit his heart heavily, and he raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Biting the front of the crimson uniform, he put it in his mouth. The child hadn't fully grown his teeth yet, so he smashed it twice, probably feeling that it was not tasty, so he let it go in anger, and grabbed the emperor's finger again, licking it with gusto.

"Jing'er!" The young emperor didn't get annoyed, and stroked the soft hair of the young boy.

The child laughed out loud, with two red moles reflected in the slightly upward curve of his eyes.

With just the right interruption, King Yu calmed down his emotions: "Seeing that His Highness is so lively, I suddenly thought of someone, and I have an unfeeling request."

The emperor glanced at him indifferently. The brothers had been very affectionate since they were young. Once Gao Hong said "Chen", he threatened him like a soft knife.But he didn't feel offended by it, and he withdrew his stern expression, and put on a kind face again: "Since the emperor has said so, no matter what it is, I should agree."

"Really no matter what?"

"As long as it doesn't violate ethics or violate the laws of the country, I will keep my word."

King Yu cupped his hands and said, "I beg Your Majesty to give the child of Helan Maojia to me."

The emperor's expression froze: "...absurd! It's fine for the emperor's brother not to have a family for so many years, why do you want to raise children from other families now? If you want to adopt sons, there are many people inside and outside the court, and you have to——I just—"

King Yu lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty wants to punish the Helan clan, and I have no objection. But the emperor is kind, the child is still four years old this year, and he doesn't understand anything. If he is guilty, His Majesty has let Helan Maojia and the whole clan Pay for your life. I just want to keep him...in the mansion to take care of him—I only ask His Majesty for this one thing!"

But if that's the case, what do you want him to do?

The emperor squinted his eyes, suppressed his uneasiness and teased, "I have never heard of when the emperor brother had such a habit."

King Yu just knelt on the spot without explaining.

The emperor restrained all his smiles and stared at his elder brother coldly.

The incense ash was cold, and I don't know how long it had passed. King Yu only felt a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and heard the emperor's voice calmly: "Brother, this request is making things difficult for me, but since I have granted you, I can't ride a tiger. The Helan family... ...is the imperial brother's mother clan. I have neglected this matter, and the child's affairs are up to you."

King Yu's forehead touched the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor stood up noncommittal, hugged the child in his arms, and walked out of the hall without looking back.When passing by him, the emperor paused and said, "You should know that I never want to see the Helan family."

King Yu fell on the ground: "I obey the order."

The sound of footsteps faded away, he stood up, brushed off a little dust from his hem, looked up, and there was rain in the sky.

A eunuch beside the emperor greeted him with a smiling face made of white dough, and saluted him: "Prince Yu, Your Majesty sent a slave to lead you out of Ziwei City."

"What about the child?"

The eunuch was not surprised that he would ask such a question, but he still smiled ironically: "Your Majesty has ordered that a car will visit Prince Yu's Mansion later. The only thing I said to the outside world is that it is a new manpower sent to you."

Yu Dynasty nodded, "Thank you."

He was busy with other things on one side, and on the other side, the pedestrians going to the North Hall turned a corner and took another road.

Walking to the imperial garden, I saw a blue figure by the pool, whose face was still very young.The emperor winked, and the waiters behind him stopped. He carried the child and walked over, coughing twice on purpose.

The man in Tsing Yi turned his head to show his panic, and after a while, his surprise turned into joy: "Ah...it's Brother Huang."

Seeing that he was about to salute, the emperor smiled and held up the man's arm: "Why do you and I need such red tape?" After speaking, he squeezed the child's little hand, "Jing'er, I have seen you, Uncle Ji."

The man in Tsing Yi has a pair of amorous phoenix eyes, a pale complexion, with a slight sickness but does not hide his high temperament. It is Ji Wang Gao Qian, the youngest brother of the current emperor.

He stepped forward, no matter how big or small, grabbed his nephew's nose, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, Jing'er is growing fast, but it seems that he is not as chubby as before... a little less cute."

The emperor looked indulgent: "Are you blaming me for not carrying it well?"

Gao Qian said with a playful smile: "Your brother dare not, everyone in the palace knows that Jing'er is your favorite... Well, just now, I saw General Xu Xin passing beside the emperor's sister-in-law, with a worried face on his face, presumably the emperor's brother sneaked away again." Jing'er received Ming Tang and didn't tell his sister-in-law, so he's so anxious to look for someone in the North Hall right now?"

The emperor frowned: "You're smart now!"

Gao Qian raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, this king knows everything and knows everything."

The young man's high-spirited appearance came into view, and it reminded the emperor of a person. He lowered his eyes, and suddenly said: "It's really that easy to count, I just issued a decree, you may count it?"

Gao Qian said: "The Longxi king's rebellion has come to an end."

The emperor said: "How?"

"Helan Maojia was captured, and the family is under control...The emperor must want to kill them all, but he came to ask his younger brother, so he must be uneasy." Gao Qian laughed, "The king of Longxi did not die in the battlefield all his life, but died In the imperial court, how to convince the public? But if he wants to take back the Western Army, he has to die. Brother Huang is worrying."

He is only fifteen this year, and he is not old enough to listen to politics, but he has experienced the chaos of the Queen Mother Zhao since he was a child, and he is talented and intelligent, and he seems to have learned everything about politics without a teacher.

"Brother Yu Wang asked me for that child." The emperor said abruptly.

Gao Qian thought for a moment: "Mingyue? He's still young."

The emperor said: "It's not that I don't believe in brother Yu Wang, but he and He Lan..."

Gao Qian quickly interrupted him: "For this matter, the three clans will be implicated, and there will be a lot of fanfare... Brother emperor, I think it is inappropriate." Seeing that the emperor was silent, he continued to speak:

"The evidence of Helan Maojia's rebellion is as solid as a mountain. The emperor's brother can kill the three clans secretly. He only said to the public that the king of Longxi committed suicide, and his relatives moved out of Yinzhou in fear of crime. There are still undercurrents surging in the imperial brother's personal administration. After this battle, it is also a shock. Since then No one in the court and the public moved rashly. The king of Longxi was destroyed. Among the three clans in Saibei, the Yuwen family did not care about political affairs. Let others talk."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the silent emperor, and the other party sighed: "My brother Qian is easing my heart, I know it."

"My younger brother also wants to ask why, Brother Huang..." Gao Qian coughed suddenly, he bent his body, and felt the warmth of his vest.The emperor personally relieved him, and protected the child with his other arm.

The emperor asked: "Why did you get sick again? Last time I sent an imperial doctor to your palace for treatment, haven't you found the root of the disease yet?"

Gao Qian squeezed out a forced smile: "It's not a childhood symptom, it's not a problem, my brother drinks the medicine as water, just to live a few more years and relieve the worries and problems of the emperor's brother."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The emperor frowned, and his tone became stricter, "You have to get better, and it will take a long time!"

Gao Qian didn't say a word, just smiled, that smile seemed to grow in his bones, and he always looked very cute.He looked directly at the emperor's face, and ignored the concern: "Brother emperor, the Helan family has made great contributions to the establishment of the country in Daning. The King of Longxi and you also grew up together...do you really have the heart?"

The emperor said coldly: "He has committed suicide."

Gao Qian's smile froze for a moment, but he was stunned.

The emperor said: "Now I am only worried about Brother Yu and the death of my mother's family. Even if he doesn't say anything, he will blame me in the end."

Gao Qian said softly: "My brother thinks that Brother Yu doesn't need to worry about it. Concubine De has seen through the world, and although he has Helan's blood, he is the prince of Daning."

After being silent for a while, the emperor finally said: "Sometimes I really wish Brother Hong would just say what he has."

"Really?" Gao Qian said with a smile, "But I hope that Brother Yu would never say anything."

There was something in his words, and the emperor was about to ask, when his hands suddenly turned cold.The originally calm pond began to ripple, and the maid hurriedly came behind with an umbrella.

"It's raining, Brother Huang." Gao Qian took the umbrella and personally covered him from the wind and rain, "My brother will accompany you to send Jing'er to the North Hall."

The drizzle wets the willows with fresh leaves, and a layer of moist mist rises in Ziwei City.
