History of Yongwu

Chapter 75 The Eve Before Leaving

Changxindian

The Empress Dowager is old and prefers tranquility, so the Changxin Palace is always quiet, and the palace people walk back and forth quietly.

Emperor Xuan screened out the palace people and quietly entered the small pavilion "Mother Queen"

"Your Majesty is coming, sit down." The Queen Mother's wrinkled eyes were bent, like a kind old man, and she smiled and said, "How is the Queen's illness?"

"Fortunately, the queen mother doesn't have to worry," Emperor Xuan replied.

"You don't have to comfort me." The queen mother waved her hand, "I've seen too much about life and death, but the queen has been with you for many years, and it's not easy. If you can't recover, you can bring Yi'er back as soon as possible, and let their mother and child stay longer."

Qin Yi is the eldest son of Emperor Xuan and also the eldest son of the empress. It is logical that Emperor Xuan should be crowned prince after he ascended the throne. Qian He didn't say anything, so everyone ignored the prince on purpose.

When Emperor Xuan came to the throne, in order to avoid being persecuted by his courtiers, the queen went to the Nanshan Palace to recuperate. He sent Qin Yi to the Nanshan Palace in the name of tasting the decoction himself. Now the Queen is critically ill, but the eldest son Qin Yi has not been recalled.

"The son knows, let the mother worry about it." Emperor Xuan looked at the queen mother, clenched his fists and said, "the mother, the son has something to ask the mother for advice."

"It's rare that you have something to ask me." The Queen Mother smiled, and leaned aside as if she didn't care, and said, "What's the matter?"

"The prime minister thought about it, the court was turbulent and arguing endlessly, and the son wanted to ask his mother how to calm the dispute." Emperor Xuan lowered his head and did not speak bluntly about King Jin.

Silly Haoer, disputes cannot be quelled, the queen mother sighed, and said lightly, "Do you want Wang Qianhe to come back?"

"Yes"

Emperor Xuan was not surprised that the queen mother guessed that it would be strange if the queen mother knew nothing about the outside world. The court cannot continue to quarrel like this, and Wang Qianhe needs to come back to re-establish the balance of the court.

"Sinong Qi Jinyu takes over as Doctor Yushi, Wang Qianhe will naturally come back"

"But··"

"Your Majesty, you can only gain something if you have a heart in the court. Qi Jinyu has been in the court for so long, and he has already matured. He will never really be united with others. Your Majesty may not have to guard against him. Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are the biggest in the court. He Qi Jinyu can't afford to turn a big wave."

The queen mother's tone was slow, showing casual confidence. The reason why he was sure that Qi Jinyu's loyalty was limited was because she probably guessed that King Jin was going back to the country.

"Son understands," Emperor Xuan agreed after a pause.

Seeing that he was still hesitant to say anything, the queen mother waved her hands and said, "I will call Yu'er into the palace, don't worry, Your Majesty."

"The son will leave first"

Emperor Xuan saluted and retreated, but his heart was not relaxed, and he always felt that something was about to come out.

The next day, Emperor Xuan issued an edict to add Qi Jinyu as Doctor Yushi, one of the three princes. Doctor Qi, who had just taken office, denounced Kong's collusion with the enemy, reprimanded King Jin for his recklessness, and King Zhao for his stupidity. Modestly intercede.

Prime Minister Wang successfully returned to the court, and the court was temporarily calmed down, but Emperor Xuan looked at the people in the Yongshou Palace, and his heart was more exhausted.

Royal Palace

Emperor Xuan sighed and walked towards the Jinhua Hall. If there was anything that could make him feel a little bit relieved these days, it was probably the presence of the priest Nangong, who made him go to the Jinhua Hall more frequently.

As soon as he entered the door, Empress Xie coughed endlessly, and Emperor Xuan felt a little unbearable, so he stepped up a few steps to enter the room.

"Hanyun, how are you?" Empress Xie's complexion was sallow, and she was already emaciated, Emperor Xuan couldn't help feeling pity, and his tone was much softer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty...cough cough... I am concerned, my concubine is fine." Empress Xie smiled with a pale corner of her mouth, still showing the utmost courtesy.

Alas, Emperor Xuan sighed, turned his head to look at Nangong Priest and said, "The empress still needs Yuliang to take care of her, if there is anything to tell me at any time."

"Yes" Nangong Yuliang agreed, and quietly backed out.

Empress Xie looked at Emperor Xuan who was following him, her eyes flickered. Although she and Emperor Xuan did not have a deep relationship, they had been together for many years, and she still knew Emperor Xuan.

Although I am exhausted, but I heard that there are so many government affairs, Emperor Xuan will never come to visit her every day.Emperor Xuan was for those who had just left, this Nangong priest was pure and kind, if he entered the palace, maybe Yi'er would be better!

Nangong Yuliang's figure disappeared, Emperor Xuan looked away, saw the empress's eyes were sad, and comforted him, "I have asked He Yuan to pick up Yi'er, you can meet each other in the afternoon, let him accompany you, you can get better soon "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Xie's eyes lit up with a gleam of light, she thought she might not be able to see her for the last time!

Seeing her happy, Emperor Xuan smiled and comforted her, got up and left, Empress Xie looked at his back, coughed and said, "I want to rest quietly for a while, there is no need for the priest to come again, let him have a good rest in the side hall."

"Yes"

Piandian

The Empress is seriously ill, Nangong Yuliang has already lived in the Imperial Palace, and spends most of the day in the Jinhua Palace. Because of what happened last time, he dare not wander around, chatting with others, and can only face a chess game and play chess by himself .

Alas... I don't know when I will be able to go back.

"Yuliang" Emperor Xuan suddenly stood behind him, "Why don't I accompany you?"

Nangong Yuliang turned around and was about to get up to salute but was held down by Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan glanced at him and sat across from him with a smile.

Changxindian

Qin Yu followed the eunuch leading the way, walked through the empty school grounds, and saw a palace man in front of him leading a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy towards the Jinhua Hall.

"Who is that?" Qin Yu looked at the boy's clothes and asked the little eunuch who was following him.

The little eunuch glanced at it, then lowered his head and replied, "That's the First Prince, who just came back from Nanshan Palace today."

The eldest prince Qin Yi, Qin Yu remembered that he went to see him when he was born, but he didn't expect to grow up so big, Qin Yi returned to the palace... so the queen is going to die?This Nangong Priest doesn't seem to be very obedient!

The Hall of Changxin was already in front of him, he shook his head to suppress the speculation in his heart, and stepped up the steps.

"The sons and ministers see the queen mother"

The queen mother leaned on the couch, looked at Qin Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "Yu'er, when are you going to make trouble?"

"I know my mistake, please punish the Queen Mother," Qin Yu said solemnly.

Punishment?well!The queen mother shook her head and beckoned him to sit over. She looked at Qin Yu who was sitting beside her and said, "Do you want to go back?"

"The land of the ten counties of the state of Jin has never been taken care of by my ministers..."

"Yu'er" the queen mother interrupted him, looking at him with a blank face, she said helplessly, "The mother has listened to the high-sounding words all her life, can't you tell the mother the truth?"

Qin Yu raised his head, the white hair on the Queen Mother's head seemed to be more, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were still so kind, his fingertips trembled, and he said in a low voice, "What truth does the Queen Mother want to hear?"

"Are you going to force your brother like this?" The queen mother took his hand, the palm was too wide for her to hold.

Qin Yu looked at those hands, held them, and said, "Then, brother, can you not cut down the feudal clan?"

"Cutting down the feudal clan is for Dayong, don't you understand?"

"Cutting down the vassal is to make the minister...go to death!" Qin Yu lowered his head, remembering that his mother and concubine told him to live well.

"The queen mother will protect you," the queen mother eagerly comforted.

Haha... Qin Yu smiled, with a cool look in his eyes, he looked at the aged queen mother, and said seriously, "Mother, you are lying, you can't protect your son at all."

Even as the empress dowager, she was not sure of keeping herself, let alone the ability to resist the persecution of the ministers of the Manchu court.

The silver-white hair trembled slightly, the queen mother looked at Qin Yu's seriousness and helplessness, Yu'er, how did you get to where you are today?If I had known this earlier, my mother had...

"Do you want to be like King Wu when you return to Jin?"

King Wu?Ha... Queen Mother!Qin Yu held her hand in the palm of his hand, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Mother, you should understand that only by leaving the son-in-law can you avoid brother-in-law!"

Empress Mother, you were just as unwilling to believe it as you were at the beginning. In fact, we had no way out a long time ago.

"you···"

Seeing the cold smile on Qin Yu's mouth, the Queen Mother was suddenly taken aback. She didn't know this person, and this was the King Jin whom she had never seen before!

Let go of the queen mother's hand, Qin Yu folded his hands in front of him, returned to a respectful and indifferent look, and said without moving, "If King Jin continues to stay in the capital today, the queen mother should understand what will happen, please make it happen."

His Majesty sacrificed, and the government came out... The queen mother's face changed, and she calmed down when she saw him, "Okay, I will make an order, but King Zhao is in Beijing..."

"My minister will give up the nine military powers to the emperor. There is something in the capital, and the northern camp will be dispatched by the empress dowager." Qin Yu knelt down and answered without asking the empress dowager.

"Okay." The Queen Mother nodded.

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her and continued to say, "Mother, this matter should be done as soon as possible. The queen is critically ill. If the country mourns, there may be changes."

You are really my son, the queen mother laughed at herself, nodded and said, "I see."

"The son and minister resigned"

The Empress Dowager looked at his receding back and suddenly said to him, "Daliang is cold, pay attention to your body."

After a pause in his footsteps, Qin Yu turned around and looked at the Queen Mother, showing a sincere smile and saying, "The capital city is in turmoil, the Queen Mother should worry less."

King Jin left, the Queen Mother turned her head to look out of the window, and suddenly thought of Grand Master Lin, King Liang, and Mu Zhengfeng who had passed away...

They have all been active in this palace, and they all disappeared!

Outside the Changxin Hall, the moonlight was thin, Qin Yu pressed his chest, and he will not be able to see him in the future!

The palace corridor was deep and dark, Qin Yu followed behind the little eunuch, taking every step so firmly, turning around one palace corridor and another palace corridor, equally deep and dark, he didn't know where the end led to.

"Go to the Jinhua Palace." Qin Yu took a deep breath and calmed down. "The king wants to visit the queen."

Jinhua Palace

Nangong Yuliang walked out of the main hall and breathed a sigh of relief in the empty courtyard. Just as Emperor Xuan left, Wang Gonggong whispered something in his ear, and hurriedly left. He vaguely heard King Jin.

In the past few days, the Empress was seriously ill, and Emperor Xuan often came to visit him, but he didn't stay with the Empress too much, instead he greeted himself, Nangong Yuliang, even a fool, could see that Emperor Xuan had plans for him.

Not to mention that Xiang'er is still in his heart, Empress Xie's fate is in front of him, this palace wall is not a place for people to stay, but Emperor Xuan is the emperor after all, not an ordinary person, if he flicks his sleeves and treats him coldly, I'm afraid the Nangong family will , Tenjin Palace will be implicated.

Alas... Nangong Yuliang stood under the tree and let out a long sigh, regretting coming to the capital.

"Why did the priest sigh?"

King Jin!Nangong Yuliang shook his shoulders, and hurriedly turned around to salute, "See you, my lord."

Qin Yu smiled, seeing the priest's panic in his eyes, he saw Nangong Yuliang as soon as he entered the Jinhua Palace, so he didn't need to see the queen at all.

"The priest hasn't answered the king yet?"

"I'm a little tired, thank you, my lord, for your concern." Nangong Yuliang put away his emotions and calmed down.

"Oh." Qin Yu helped him up, looked at him and said, "How is the Queen's condition?"

"Queen's day..."

"Priest" Qin Yu interrupted him, pressed his shoulder and said, "This is not what this king wants to hear, you should understand?"

Nangong Yuliang pursed his lips and did not make a sound. King Jin pressed his hand on his shoulder slightly, and said quietly, "This king has been waiting for the priest in the mansion. You missed the appointment, priest."

"My lord," Nangong Yuliang gritted his teeth, and mustered up his courage to say, "The queen's condition should not be speculated by a subject, the lord's move is against the law of etiquette."

"Etiquette" Qin Yu chuckled and looked at him.

Nangong Yuliang straightened up slightly, and said directly, "I made an unintentional mistake that day, the Kong family has been destroyed, it's a trivial matter, I hope the prince will not mind, forgive me"

The Kong family is already dead, and what happened that day is no longer important, and the King of Jin should not threaten him with this matter.

"Hehe, the priest is transparent, and should be an official in the court." Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "It's just... priest, what do you think if your majesty finds out the jade pendant that this king gave you?"

"..." Nangong Yuliang's expression froze.

Qin Yu took a step closer, and said in a very low voice, "You also know that this king and His Majesty are at odds, priests, the two crimes of secretly giving and accepting and secretly committing crimes, which one do you prefer?!"

Nangong Yuliang pushed away the approaching King Jin, stared angrily for a while, and said with his shoulders slumped, "Although the queen is not good, she can still hold on for a while. If there is any change... I will inform the prince."

"Thank you, priest." Qin Yu took a step back, turned and left.

King Jin's Mansion

His Royal Highness King Jin slept until the sun was high, when he heard that Mr. Zhao was waiting in the front hall. When he went to the front hall, he found not only Mr. Zhao, but also an old man with a white beard.

"See Your Majesty"

The two got up to salute at the same time, Qin Yu waved his hands and asked with a smile, "What happened this early in the morning, who is this?"

"Little man Wang Guangqi" saluted the old man with white beard, glanced at King Jin and said in a deep voice, "I used to work for Yushifu"

In Yushifu, Qin Yu's eyes flickered, he gently picked up the teacup, blew and said, "Then Mr. Wang is really big, you surrendered yourself?" old man!

Wang Guangqi looked at King Jin, with a pair of shrewd eyes, and said with a trembling beard, "My lord is leaving the capital, and Lord Qi is in court. Can you fully trust Lord Qi? This villain is here today to obey God's will"

Alas... how come there are so many capable people and strangers recently? Qin Yu looked at him and pondered for a while, Wang Guangqi took his time and bowed his head respectfully, he smiled lightly and opened his mouth.

"What is God's will?"

"Fate is in Jin, the prince is God's will!"

Hahaha... Qin Yu shook his robe, raised his legs and said, "Mr. Wang is a well-learned man, and he praises others with literary skills. You think Mr. Qi is untrustworthy, so what's your plan?"

"When the prince is in Beijing, Lord Qi dare not hide anything. When the prince returns to the country, Lord Qi dare not disobey His Majesty. His loyalty is only seven points. I am willing to make up for the three points." Wang Guangqi knelt down with his robe lifted.

"Very well, Mr. Wang's move has solved my urgency. I accept your loyalty. I will ask Zhiping to tell you about the rest." Qin Yu smiled and helped him up.

Wang Guangqi saluted respectfully, then stepped back carefully.

"How did you find him?"

"It's not the humble minister who found him, but the minister who took the initiative to find him"

The ambition of a wolf is indeed the same as that of Master Kong, Qin Yu pondered for a while and said, "It can be used."

"The prince can trust this person?" Zhao Zhiping asked.This Wang Guangqi escaped from the Kong family, he must have guessed Kong Guopei's end in advance, but he abandoned his master and fled. Such people...

"People who rebel against the Lord can't believe it." Qin Yu shook his head, his expression finally a little solemn, "But Qi Jinyu is in Beijing, and this king is really worried. It's rare that he can see through it. Moreover, the capital is mixed with fish and dragons, court factions, clan disputes, how many people are secretly Even if Wu voted for Zhao again, it may not be a bad thing for an unknown person like Wang Guangqi to stay here, it doesn’t matter whether he is loyal or not, as long as he is useful.”

"I understand," Zhao Zhiping replied.

"Inform Zhou Qianfan," Qin Yu said with some uneasiness, "Let him also look at Master Qi, loyalty can be tested."

"Yes" Zhao Zhiping replied, then looked at King Jin and asked worriedly, "My lord, the eldest prince has returned to Beijing, I'm afraid the empress will soon... I wonder when the empress dowager will make an order?"

"Then it depends on when the queen mother can talk to the prime minister."

Zhao Zhiping resigned, Qin Yu stood in the courtyard, a dead leaf fell, he sighed softly, a trace of nostalgia arose, and dissipated the moment the dead leaf fell to the ground.

The author has something to say:

It’s not that I broke my promise. It’s because I set the timing wrong. I’ve already regretted it, so I can only post it today, otherwise the formation will be messed up.
