Chapter 83 Side by side
The guards outside were shocked when they heard the sound of fighting inside, and asked twice without answering. The chief guard made a decisive decision and pushed the door in. "Your Majesty, are you okay?" King Yuyong couldn't help being shocked.
"Get out!" The two people on the ground said in unison.
The chief guard was still hesitating.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan shouted: "I tell you to get out!"
The head guard shuddered, and hastily retreated to close the door.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan rode on Yongchen, pinched his chin, and said angrily: "Speak! I'm asking you! I told you to fetch the letter written by my father, I didn't tell you to commit suicide! Are you sick?! "
If the emperor doesn't mention this, it's okay to mention Yongchen, which is even more furious.
"Yes! I'm fucking sick! When I'm free, I like to poke a few blood holes in my neck—I'm an idiot?!" Yong Chen overturned the emperor, grabbed the emperor's collar and dragged half of his body up. , "What is it for me?" He roared: "Isn't it to make you secure this bullshit throne! What the hell have you done? This is how I ruined the throne that I fought for you with blood and sweat?! "As he spoke, he punched the emperor in the face with hatred!
"Having been fascinated by a monster, how can you cultivate the number one view in the world! Why don't you build a plaque for yourself as the number one dog emperor in the world?!" Another punch!
"Walking around that pug Liu Wuhua all day long! Drugging Yongyi Yongdan without telling me!" Accompanied by heavy panting, another punch!
"Speaking of you pug, you borrowed your courage from the heavens to humiliate my mother and concubine!" Yong Chen lowered his head and approached the emperor, staring into his eyes, grinning with white teeth, "I told you earlier, what are you doing for me?" Come here, I will pay back the slap my mother and concubine slapped you! Did I say that? Did you say that? Huh?" Staring at the emperor's already red and swollen cheeks, he punched hard again, but it hit the stomach.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan moaned in pain, his knees curled up.
Yong Chen flicked his sore fingers, and said with a sneer, "Do you really think I don't want to be the emperor?" He looked down at the emperor, "What are you looking at? Want to bite me? You can call the guards outside to kill me!" He showed a malicious smile, "Anyway, I have beaten enough. Show your status as the emperor—you can see how the person who beat the emperor should be punished according to the law." He blew on his fingers before asking When he got up, he was countered by the emperor and fell to the ground.
"You bastard, talking about status with me? Talking about rules?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan roared: "With your status, can you live in Yuqing Palace?! With your status, if the master humiliates his ministers to death, you deserve it." The concubine mother slaps herself!" The cross arm was around Yong Chen's neck, and he couldn't breathe.
Yongchen grabbed the emperor's shoulders from behind and pushed his upper body up with all his strength. The two of them rolled and beat, roaring while fighting!
"I don't know who will definitely keep me in Yuqing Palace!"
"I'm blind! I didn't recognize you, a conscientious bastard!"
"The dog calls me to live in Yuqing Palace!"
"I called the dog to live in Yuqing Palace!"
The strength of the two of them was almost exhausted, they were sweating profusely, they had no way to fight, they were no different from children in the market, only relying on one breath to fight to the death, only roaring more and more angrily!Like a cross-eyed rooster.
"The dog calls me to live in Yuqing Palace! The dog calls me to sit beside the dragon chair!"
"I call the dog to live in Yuqing Palace! I call the dog to sit beside the dragon chair!"
The two people were cursing back and forth, their eyes met, and suddenly they both felt the ridiculousness of the scene, they didn't know who was the first to laugh out loud, they let go of each other's hands, and lay flat and panted.
Occasionally tilting his head to glance at the other party, looking at the slap prints and five finger marks on the other party's face, and looking at his own messy appearance, it is all funny.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Yong Chen spoke first, "Do you want to hear a joke?"
Before hearing the joke, Emperor Jing Yuan Yong Zhan was already laughing.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan rested his arms on his pillow, looked at the algae well on the top of the hall, and said in a low voice, "Did you know? It's very ugly to have a blood hole on your neck."
Yongchen was silent, imitating the appearance of the emperor, and put his arms behind his head, counted the 24 huanghuali lamp holders carved on the algae well one by one, and said: "People who take golden pills will have purple skin after death. It's very ugly." Seeing the emperor tilting his head to look at him, he said again: "Have you never heard of it? Swallowing a golden elixir into the belly is my fate."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan just looked at him quietly, with sadness in his eyes.
"Hey, although you are ten years older than me, it's not time to worry about your lifespan—look at your father, you have to live at least a few dozen years before writing memorials every day until you want to die. Years!" Yong Chen slammed into the emperor's arm, and said seriously: "I live like this every day, what kind of longevity do you still want to pursue?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Yongchen, "Good brother."
Yong Chen sat up, raised his eyes to look at him, put his hand on his hand, and said with a smile: "Good brother, forever!" He deliberately used his strength to get up, and the emperor almost fell to the ground again.
He heard the outside say: "Your Majesty, the empress is here. People from Shangyang Palace said that the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Shugui sent His Royal Highness King Yongjun to talk."
"Their rescuers moved very fast, not only fast but also complete." Yong Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this head of guards must be promoted."
"My reputation of prudence in my life has been ruined by you." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan returned rationally, and it was also a headache.
Yongchen will resign.
"Wait a minute." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan paused and said, "Go out and ask Su Danmo to get two ice packs quietly." He lightly touched his numbed cheek, and gasped in pain.
"Understood!" Yong Chen agreed, exited the palace, saw the Empress Shi Shi and others were about to enter, said with a smile: "Greetings to the Queen's Wife."
The empress is the original concubine Shi Shi, now seeing Yong Chen's swollen face and disheveled clothes, she was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty Yong, what's the matter?" The ordinary people had already fled away.
Empress Shi Shi entered the palace, seeing the emperor's appearance, she was even more terrified, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, this, this...you and Prince Yong..."
"It's nothing, don't make a fuss." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan sat behind the imperial case and said: "I just wrestled with Yong'an on a whim, and the people below are always making a fuss. I'm safe here, the queen don't panic .”
Empress Shi looked at the emperor's face with finger marks on it, and couldn't believe that it was made from wrestling, but she didn't dare to question it, and said: "That's good, I think the guards outside heard it wrong." Now, their responsibilities are bound to be careful, and the emperor should not blame them." She stepped forward and said cautiously: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has urged the concubines several times, and the roster of this year's draft——Your Majesty, have you checked the selections? ?”
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "When I ascended the throne, the government is in chaos, and I have no time to take care of it. The empress is too tired to explain a few words to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let's talk about the draft a few years later."
Empress Shi stared at the emperor so closely, she was already a little idiotic, and she dared not persuade her anymore, she just said: "The concubine knows, and must explain clearly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are concubines in the harem, you just need to work hard to manage it." "He said again: "The emperor has lost weight..."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan picked up the memorial and saw that she had no intention of leaving, so he said kindly: "Since the queen is here, let's have dinner with me at noon."
Empress Shi was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes... my concubine..." Seeing that the emperor's mind had sunk into the memorial, she dared not speak any more, and sat down to accompany her quietly.
Yongchen knew that going to Shangyang Palace would not escape the nagging, so he simply ran away, slipped away, and went directly out of the palace and back to the mansion.
Li Man'er was stunned when she saw Yong Chen's face, "Your Highness, what's wrong with this?"
Lianxi came back from the palace with Yong Chen, and knowing about Zhang Tianshi, he muttered: "Even if you killed a demon, the emperor can't beat you like this! That stinky Taoist is not a good person."
"Although he is not a good person." Sitting by the window, facing the warm wind in the early spring evening, Zou Tingyan said leisurely, "But it shouldn't be up to the prince to kill him. This is a time of peace, and anyone who is not a good person will be killed—" That was something that only happened during times of war. His Highness killed Zhang Tianshi today, which is called a lynching at a young age. Not to mention that the murderer today was His Highness the County King, the Emperor himself came to kill him. Let the outside civil servants know, then It is also to kneel down and remonstrate with death. His Highness's move is also a violation of the law, and he will be sent to prison for review; what's more, His Highness is still the king of the county. He kills people on a whim. He is not an ordinary person, but quite trusted by the emperor. The heavy Zhang Tianshi—this matter is going to be big, it can pierce the sky."
Yong Chen lay back on the rocking chair, took the medicine from Lianxi, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is too much to worry about. In the past, I would have believed what you said, but today I have made it clear to the emperor, that is Even if the sky is pierced, we are still brothers."
"Brother?" Zou Tingyan smirked, playing with the word.
"Why, Mister doesn't believe it?" Yong Chen grinned, thinking that Lian Xi's clumsy hands hurt him.
Zou Tingyan opened his dull eyes, smiled and said: "Your Highness can do whatever you want." He didn't want to argue with him.
Li Man'er took ice cubes, wrapped them in a veil and put them on Yong Chen's swollen skin, and said: "Your Highness's clothes - I will change them in the evening and I will mend them for you, maybe you can still wear them."
"It's all torn like this, if it can be mended, then Mr. Zou is really lucky." Yong Chen grinned.
Li Man'er was teased by him, her face turned red, she didn't dare to say anything about him, she just said: "My maidservant, go and see if the tea is ready." Then she lifted the curtain and went out.
"Tear?" Zou Tingyan caught the key word.
In today's world, there are very few people who dare to tear off the clothes of King Yong and punch him in the face.
Yong Chen coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Seriously, Mr. Zou, when did you and Li Man'er get married?"
This time it was Zou Tingyan who coughed lightly, and said uncomfortably: "I, I haven't talked about this with Man'er yet..."
"Hey, Mr. Zou, it's your fault. When you talk about other people's affairs, you are clear and clearer than my client. How come you are confused about your own affairs?" Yong Chenjian Xi Xi said with a smile: "Do you think how many years you and Li Man'er have been wasting? Now that you have met again with great difficulty, why don't you grasp it well? Besides, you are a fiancé couple, what are you talking about now? My lord Just arrange a bridal chamber for you!"
Zou Tingyan groped to find the teacup, heard that he almost knocked over the teacup, coughed again, and said as calmly as possible: "His Royal Highness, please let me tell Man'er first..." But the roots of his ears were slightly red.
Yong Chen smiled secretly when he saw it, and deliberately said: "When you get married, if you want to stay in the capital, you can live in this mansion. I will arrange two maids for your wife. Your wife used to be well-clothed and well-fed. Miss. If you don’t like Kyoto, I still have a garden in Gusu. Su Zimo, a Qing guest from my house, supervised the construction of the garden in person. ..." He continued to speak, but saw Zou Tingyan touched the bamboo stick for exploring the way, pointed it crookedly at the ground, and almost fled out in a panic.
Yong Chen laughed loudly, the muscles on his face were pulled by the smile, and he cried out in pain again.
"Sir, why did you come out?" Li Man'er escaped just now and was making tea in the porch, seeing Zou Tingyan coming out alone, a little strange.
Zou Tingyan collected himself and moved over.
Li Man'er moved the table to sit for him, "Want tea, sir?" She used to call Ayan when she and Zou Tingyan were childhood sweethearts, but now she only calls sir like everyone else in the mansion.
Zou Tingyan sat down slowly, licked his dry lips, and asked after a while, "Man'er, can you blame me?"
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Li Man'er said softly: "There was no one who was right or wrong about what happened back then. If there was something wrong, it was because God broke your eyes, which made you not say a word. Besides, the matter of our family is that my father was too greedy and failed to be a good official, let alone blame you." After a pause, he asked again: "Sir, can you blame me? ?”
"Blame you?" Zou Tingyan was startled, "How could I blame you?"
"Back then, if I had asked someone to go to your house and ask, maybe I would have known about your eyes... Then, even if you don't come to me these years, I will go to you..."
"Really?" Zou Tingyan couldn't believe it, "Are you really coming to find me?"
"Of course it's true." Li Man'er said again: "Actually, I still want to thank your family. At the time when our family was raided, if it wasn't for your elder brother, I'm afraid I would have been sold as a slave like other women in the family, or with My mother and sister are like... committed suicide in prison... At the beginning, it was your elder brother who made some connections to redeem me, so I fled to Kyoto..."
"My elder brother?" Zou Tingyan was even more surprised. He and his elder brother were at odds and had not heard from each other for many years. All he knew was that his elder brother was the county magistrate, but the brothers were really indifferent.
"Exactly. If your elder brother is willing to help me, it is naturally because of you... Actually, your elder brother loves you very much..."
Zou Tingyan had very complicated feelings in his heart, so he didn't want to think about family affairs, and asked: "Then I just ask you, are you still willing to be with me now?"
Li Man'er's eyes were filled with tears, "I've been waiting for you." But he said again: "It's just that I am a member of the county prince's mansion now, and even your life was saved by the county prince..."
Zou Tingyan said: "I know all of this. I just, I just became blind, I don't know if your heart is still the same as before. Now that I know, I will tell His Highness the rest of the things—you, you do not Cry……"
Li Man'er picked up the palm-leaf fan, fanned the fire in the tea stove, choked up and said, "I didn't cry, yes, it was the firewood that smoked my eyes..."
"The eyes are important?" Zou Tingyan leaned forward, but he couldn't see his eyes, and he didn't know what to do.
Li Man'er saw it in her eyes, and said with a tearful smile, "Ah Yan."
"Ok?"
"You're such a goose."
Zou Tingyan's face was red, and he said in a low voice: "I'll go and explain clearly to His Highness. Let's leave the mansion after a while..."
"Lifu?" Li Man'er was startled.
Zou Tingyan nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "The Royal Mansion of Yong County is not a place to live for a long time."
Li Man'er hurriedly asked: "But His Royal Highness is in danger?"
Zou Tingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "After all, I was once a counselor against the king's mansion. I lived in the mansion for a long time, and I did more harm than good to King Yong."
"I was also worried about this." Li Man'er sighed, "As long as His Highness agrees, let's leave earlier, and don't delay for a long time and hurt His Highness instead." As soon as he said this, he felt quite reluctant.
Yongchen poked his head out of the window and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zou, are you sure?" The atmosphere between the two of them was immediately broken.
In the days that followed, Yong Chen recuperated in the mansion openly.The officials in Jingzhong heard that King Yong was in the mansion, so they sent in gifts at the price of water.Yongchen accepts gifts as usual, but no one is seen.
"These people are really omnipotent. Is this king an idler who doesn't have any position, worthy of their concern?"
Zou Tingyan said indifferently: "Your Highness, you can't see your own weight clearly. In today's world, His Highness the Prince of the County is already under one person and above ten thousand people."
Yongchen frowned, and said to Lianxi who was waiting for a response: "I don't see you, even if it's the old part of the master, I don't see it!" He touched his face that had just been wiped with wound medicine, and sighed: "Can this face see people?"
Here Yongchen can still hide from people, but Jingyuan Emperor Yongzhan in the palace can't even hide.
In the first three days, he claimed that he was not sick, and when the finger marks disappeared on his face, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan went to court, his face was still bruised, and he only said to the outside world that he accidentally bumped into it.
The majestic emperor of a country bumped his face while walking, who would believe it?
So gradually there were rumors that the empress committed the crime, and that the empress was jealous because the six palaces were empty. The news of the emperor's suspension of the draft was spread, and it was all right.As a result, the rumors became more and more true. The latest version is that the emperor got lucky with a maid named Yuyan in the empress's palace after drinking, but was bumped into by the empress, so the empress slapped the emperor and slapped the emperor in jealousy. The court lady named Yuyan was quietly executed and thrown into the well of the cold palace.
A few months later, when Yong Chen heard the rumor, he laughed until his stomach ached.He looked at Liu Wuhua and said with a smile: "Well, although this is a rumor, it may be somewhat believable. Even the maid's name is there. If Master Liu wants to know the truth, just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the register."
Liu Wuhua knew that he was a bully, so he said: "Your Highness, don't bully me, I know it's Your Highness."
"So?" Yong Chen leaned against the palace wall with folded arms, casually looking at Liu Wuhua with downcast eyes, really in a bad mood.It was originally to discuss with the emperor for the hundred-day ceremony of the emperor's ascension to the throne, but he met this pug on the way.
"Your Highness, please keep this in mind. You may be the emperor's brother, but the emperor is the emperor after all." Liu Wuhua seemed to be suppressing his anger.
"Are you warning me?"
"A minister is just doing his best to be loyal and loving to the emperor."
"Do you know? If you changed your face half a month ago, this king will give you another whip." Yong Chen said casually, with a smile, "But now, this king doesn't I know you a lot."
Liu Wuhua was taken aback.
Yong Chen grinned, revealing that nasty smile that belonged only to him, "What's the point of beating a dog when you can beat the dog's owner?"
"you!"
Yong Chen clicked his tongue twice, and said frivolously: "Master Liu is really beautiful when he is angry." He laughed and walked away.
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jingyuan Yong Zhan saw Yong Chen coming, he was happy, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence for you to come. The hundred-day celebration will be tomorrow, and there will be many rewards. I am really poor this time."
Yong Chen smiled and said, "Can I ask my younger brother to help me?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said in surprise: "How much is your annual salary as a county king? A drop in the bucket, how can it be enough?" He added: "I can't use the money earned from the property under your own name."
"The emperor forgot? You gave your younger brother a fat job." Yong Chen blinked, "Confiscating the house."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan laughed loudly, "How much did you get?"
Yong Chen held out a finger.
"100 million taels?"
Yong Chen smiled and shook his fingers, "Give it a bigger guess."
"One million taels?!"
Yongchen nodded.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan dropped the memorial in his hand and said angrily: "These moths!"
Yong Chen grinned and said: "Let's add two to one to make five, and give you 500 million taels—that's what those moths are doing for the country and the people."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan also felt that this was quite ironic, and said with a smile: "I owe this to your blessing."
Yong Chen looked at the imperial edicts of rewards piled up on the table, counted them, "Hey, there are quite a few."
"Is there any female relatives in your mansion that you want to reward?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "If there are, I will seal them together."
"This is not."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan teased: "You have to work harder. How many beautiful women do you want me to reward you? The House of Internal Affairs is urging me every day to give me a headache."
"There is a maid - not the female family member of the younger brother. Can this kind of seal?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was taken aback, "Maid?"
| "She is the daughter of a criminal official, and she and that Mr. Zou are childhood sweethearts. Now that the two are getting married, the younger brother has nothing to give away..."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "It's really never happened to be a maid. It's rare for you to say this. I make an exception and make her a county lord, and let her marry in a beautiful manner."
"Emperor Hong En!" Yong Chen smiled and cupped his hands, glanced at the unfolded imperial decree, and said casually: "Why are there no seals?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "Let the eunuch send it to Shangyang Palace later, and use the seal together."
Although the new monarch has ascended the throne, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.
All imperial decrees that need to be sealed must be reviewed by the Supreme Emperor.If you say it, Xindi will become a joke.
Yong Chen smiled and said: "My brother is going to Shangyang Palace to pay his respects anyway, so I will bring you there along the way."
"Then thank you very much." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan breathed a sigh of relief, "This celebration has caused me a lot of trouble."
"The younger brother stepped back first."
"Okay, let's go. See you at the celebration tomorrow." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan laughed, and said: "The farmer of Changchun Garden came to report the day before yesterday, saying that the lotus seed you selected this spring has bloomed. When the celebration is over, let's The two of you went to appreciate the lotus together—I haven't rested for some days."
Yong Chen responded with a smile.
When they arrived at Shangyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor was teasing the Eighteenth Prince Yong Ye to recite poems. Seeing Yong Chen coming, he asked the nanny to take Yong Ye away.He glanced at the stack of imperial edicts held by the eunuch behind Yongchen, pointed to the desk under the window and said: "Let's put it there, I won't be in a good mood, I will use the seal together."
Yong Chen looked along and saw that there were already two piles of imperial edicts on the case.
He walked forward, looked at the gray-haired Supreme Emperor, and said with a smile: "Father's place is better. It is quiet and comfortable. My son and minister just came from Qinzheng Hall. The Emperor is going to faint."
"Hmph. You are the only one who thinks Shangyang Palace is good. You can ask the person in Qinzheng Hall if he wants to change with me, will he be willing?"
Yongchen choked, and said again: "Tomorrow is the Hundred Days Celebration. Father, you don't need a seal here, and the scene tomorrow will not be good."
The Supreme Emperor took out the jade seal from the brocade box on the case, played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "The scene is not good, and it is also ugly for him to be the emperor. Why are you so anxious?"
Yong Chen smiled and said: "It is the emperor who is ugly, but all the ministers know that the jade seal is in the hands of the emperor—now that the new emperor will be a hundred days old, but the jade seal is still in your hands, what will the history books and wild history say in the future? "
The overlord's complexion changed slightly.
Yong Chen sighed, and said softly: "We have spent so much effort, don't we all want to keep the bad things in the royal family? You have walked 99 steps, and my son has also walked 99 steps, and it is only this The last step, is it going to fall short?"
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was moved, Yong Chen said again: "Besides, throughout the ages, there have been many people who can be good emperors, and how many people can be good emperors? Not to mention those who can be good emperors and great emperors. Then Or, you take the opportunity of the Hundred Days Celebration to return the jade seal to the new emperor, we are both good to each other, and the emperor will treat you respectfully even if it is for material discussion."
The Supreme Emperor stroked the jade seal in his hand, like a child holding a toy.He said slowly: "Let me think about it." His voice was old—he was old after all.
Yong Chen went to the yard, playing with Yong Ye while waiting.
Two hours later, the chief eunuch came out with the brocade box in his hand, and said to Yong Chen: "The Supreme Emperor asks His Royal Highness to bring this thing to the Emperor. The Supreme Emperor will not go for the celebration, and he has been recuperating from the exhaustion of his body for the past few days."
Yong Chen took the brocade box, and was also a little excited, and said to the eunuch: "You tell the father, please take care of his health, and the ministers often come to see him."
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at Yong Chen who had gone and returned, and asked with a smile: "Why are you back again?"
"I forgot to give the emperor something." Yong Chen also said with a smile.
"what?"
"Five million taels." Yong Chen smiled, and put the brocade box on the imperial case, "See you at the celebration tomorrow."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan couldn't help laughing, watched him leave the palace, shook his head and smiled and said: "It's still such a hot temper..." As he spoke, he opened the brocade box, and the smile on his face gradually turned into shock.
***
Nongxia was long, and Yong Chen waited in the mansion until Li Man'er received the imperial decree of the county lord. Seeing the shock and joy on her face, she said with a smile: "You just wait for the king to come back to preside over the wedding for you!" That's it for the celebration.
The celebration in the palace is already over halfway, all kinds of worldly scenes are being staged on the stage, and all civil and military officials are sitting under the stage.
Yong Chen saw that there was an empty seat on the left of the emperor, and knew that it was reserved for him, so he approached him politely and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor for a hundred days on his enthronement."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stared at him with a smile, and motioned him to sit down, "You are late, you will be punished with wine."
"My brother accepts the punishment!" Yong Chen took the wine cup, drank it up, and said with a smile: "I should thank the emperor."
"Thanks for what?"
"The new county lord is so happy that he is about to cry." Yong Chen exaggerated.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan knew his temper, so he ignored it, and handed him the playbook, "You click on it."
"My younger brother doesn't know opera. The emperor will order for my younger brother—whatever you order, my younger brother will listen to."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan did not refuse, and said: "Then click on "Second Entry to the Palace"."
The side was too listening, so I hurriedly reported to the stage, and immediately changed the play.
Yong Chen smiled and said: "Second entry into the palace? It doesn't sound like martial arts." He couldn't get used to the babbling singing, so it was interesting to watch martial arts.
"What are you talking about, what are you listening to?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan snorted, "Listen carefully."
"This... what does the emperor tell my younger brother about this play?" Yong Chen scratched his head, "Otherwise, my younger brother doesn't know where to start."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had nothing to do with him, sighed, and said in detail: "This is about the death of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty. Concubine, in an attempt to usurp the throne, King Xu Yanzhao and Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Bo sternly remonstrated in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion..."
Yongchen listened quietly, still holding the melon seeds in one hand, and gradually sank into the plot told by the emperor.
"... Concubine Li was obsessed with obsession, and the monarch and his ministers argued fiercely, and broke up unhappy. Li Liang sealed off Zhaoyang Courtyard, isolating the inside and outside, and the evidence of usurping the throne is obvious..."
The emperor's voice was clear and peaceful, Yong Chen listened carefully, and slowly forgot to crack the melon seeds in his hand.As if at this moment, the stage in front of him disappeared, and the palace full of officials and women became illusions. He returned to the time when he was a child in Yuqing Palace, eating and sleeping with the elder brother of the prince, listening to the elder brother talking about poetry, rhythm, Talk about opera, history and scriptures and time.
"...Xu and Yang went to the palace for the second time to remonstrate after exploring the emperor's spirit. At this time, Concubine Li had repented, so she dragged each other with state affairs. Later, Yang Bo mobilized troops and killed Li Liang. Empress Li knew Xu and Yang very well. Loyalty is trustworthy, and prestige is strong enough to overwhelm the head of the country. So I entrusted the young master to Xu and Yang, so as to strengthen the family and society. Do you understand?"
Yong Chen still didn't come back to his senses, he smiled vainly, and said: "It sounds interesting, this play should be watched carefully."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan also seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "It is not easy to perform well in this play. Nasusheng, Tonghammer, and Tsing Yi are all sung together. It is heavy and lengthy, and it is quite difficult to sing. The three of them knelt down and sang that song together. The first section is particularly laborious, and the voice must have great courage. Do you know why?"
Yongchen stared in a daze, he didn't understand the key point, so he had to ask back, "Why?"
Seeing his stupidity, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Although Gai's syllables are hurried, the volume of his voice still needs to be leisurely."
Speaking of which, the stage is already singing.
Yongchen looked at it, pointed to it and asked: "This is the servant surnamed Yang?" Then he pointed to another and asked: "That old one is King Ding Xu...?"
"Xu Yanzhao." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said helplessly, "You don't even want to read the 24 histories carefully."
Yongchen smiled cheekily and didn't take it seriously.
But I heard that Xu and Yang on the stage were about to enter the palace, and the servant Yang Bo sang: "Master Qiansui, don't rush into the cold palace, stand at the gate of the palace and listen to the students explain it in detail. He wanted to kill the king of Han. Zhang Zifang brought Han Xin to visit with his sword on his back, and put him on the battlefield in front of Jiuli Mountain. He forced Chu Xiangyu to die in Wujiang, and later made Han Xin the king of Sanqi. The monarchs and ministers set up a net of heaven and earth, and San Xuan Han Xin died. On September [-]th, the snow and frost fell, and the loyalty and goodness of the world cannot last long. The thousand-year-old entered the cold palace and the students did not go."
"This man surnamed Yang is afraid of dying." Yong Chen giggled, "This minister understands." As if to make a footnote to his words, only the king Xu Yanzhao on the stage said: "Where did the fear come from?"
Yang Bo sang again: "What I'm afraid of is that after ten years of cold windows, nine years of traveling, August examinations, and seven articles, I will end up as a servant of the Ministry of War. I'm afraid I will end up with nothing!"
Yong Chen guessed right, clapped his hands with joy and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I was told!"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had no choice but to say: "There is no one smarter than you."
But Xu Yanzhao persuaded him: "What do you want to learn from Han Xin's death, and I stood at the gate of the palace and listened to the old man to say something else: How can the former prince be compared with the emperor of Han Gao, how can the lady of Longguo be compared with the empress Lu; how is the thief Li Liang?" Comparing to Prime Minister Xiao He, how can your lord compare to the King of Sanqi. This cold palace is supposed to be a Hongmen banquet, and there is an old man who is better than Fan Kuai, holding a copper hammer, and escorting him, so it is not a problem."
Yong Chen nodded, "This old man still has courage."
In the end, Yang Shilang was persuaded by King Ding and went to the palace together to persuade Concubine Li Gui.Concubine Li Gui was about to persuade these two people to escort them.Just listen to you coming and going on the stage, singing lively.
Xu Yanzhao: The old minister is too old to take control of the country, and the Minister of the Ministry of War should protect the country.
Concubine Li Yan: Brother Xu Wang is too old to take control of the country, so he turned around and called the Minister of the Ministry of War: You protect the young master and ascend to the dragon throne, your name is eternal.
Yang Bo: I was so frightened that I bowed my head and didn't dare to look, and tremblingly said to the empress: I edited the script of resigning to the king last night, and today I will enter the palace to bid farewell to the empress.Wang Guotai graciously released his ministers, and they returned to their hometowns to live in peace.
Concubine Li Yan: Don't talk about what you said before, don't look at the Ai family and look at the previous king.Xu Wangxiong protects the young master to ascend to the dragon throne, and I will make you a side-by-side king.
When Yong Chen heard this, he didn't understand and asked, "What is this 'word side by side king'? Is it so powerful?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said slowly: "The word side-by-side king is a one-word king with a status comparable to that of the emperor. It is the highest type of king from ancient times to the present."
"What about the king of 'One Word'?"
"Look at the show well, you macaque, you are so disturbing that I can't watch the play." Even though Emperor Jingyuan said so, he still patiently explained: "The so-called one-word king is to crown the king with the ancient country. Names, such as King Han, King Qi, King Zhao, etc. For example, Han Xin in the Western Han Dynasty was named King Qi because of his meritorious service in destroying Qi. Later, because of Liu Bang’s suspicion, he was named King Chu on the pretext that Chu was not peaceful. Another example is Peng Yue, Because he was the first to raise troops in the territory of Wei State, he was later named King of Liang..."
Yong Chen nodded and said: "So that's the case."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at him, and suddenly said: "Do you want to do it?"
"What are you doing?" Yong Chen was watching the stage to keep up with the plot, while still eating melon seeds, it took a while to react, and turned to look at the emperor.
"I'll make you the one-word side-by-side king, how about it?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at Yongchen seriously, and smiled, "Which word do you want to choose?"
Yong Chen was stunned, the music on the stage and the voices of people around him all became a chaotic background.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan pulled Yongchen to stand up.
The entire hall was silent, and the actors on the stage stayed where they were.
"I entitle you to be the king standing shoulder to shoulder." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at him and said seriously: "Stand shoulder to shoulder with me."
Yong Chen looked at the emperor, and saw that his eyes were clear, as if pretending to be the whole summer.
***
"His Highness is back?" Li Man'er came up to meet her, "It's hot outside, but it's too hot?"
Yong Chen walked into the house in a little daze, seeing Li Man'er's flustered appearance, it was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, he hadn't recovered from the shock of being named a king by the emperor.He went straight to the study, only to see Zou Tingyan, who originally lived in the side room of the study, packing up his things.
"What are you doing sir?"
Zou Tingyan stopped his movements, "I should go now."
"In such a hurry?"
"The chariots and horses have already been prepared, and I will leave with Man'er tomorrow." Zou Tingyan said lightly, "I am very grateful for being taken in by His Highness these days. For this reason, before I leave, I have one more word to say to Your Highness." .”
"Why did you leave?" Yong Chen was puzzled, "At least after we got married—this king was fine before he left in the morning, and Man'er was happy to accept the order of the county lord—what do you want to say to this king?"
"The boy in the mansion has already said that the emperor has named His Royal Highness the word side-by-side king."
"Exactly, watching the opera, who knew that the emperor would learn from the opera." Yong Chen laughed, "This king is still a little confused at this moment."
Zou Tingyan smiled slightly, looked up at the sky and thought for a while, "Did you watch "Second Entry to the Palace"?"
Yong Chen said happily: "Sir, you also know about this play?"
Zou Tingyan smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Let's just tell His Highness a libretto from the play." He read it plainly: "In the past, Chu and Han fought for power, and the Hongmen held a banquet to harm the King of Han." That Yang Shilang declined
"Get out!" The two people on the ground said in unison.
The chief guard was still hesitating.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan shouted: "I tell you to get out!"
The head guard shuddered, and hastily retreated to close the door.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan rode on Yongchen, pinched his chin, and said angrily: "Speak! I'm asking you! I told you to fetch the letter written by my father, I didn't tell you to commit suicide! Are you sick?! "
If the emperor doesn't mention this, it's okay to mention Yongchen, which is even more furious.
"Yes! I'm fucking sick! When I'm free, I like to poke a few blood holes in my neck—I'm an idiot?!" Yong Chen overturned the emperor, grabbed the emperor's collar and dragged half of his body up. , "What is it for me?" He roared: "Isn't it to make you secure this bullshit throne! What the hell have you done? This is how I ruined the throne that I fought for you with blood and sweat?! "As he spoke, he punched the emperor in the face with hatred!
"Having been fascinated by a monster, how can you cultivate the number one view in the world! Why don't you build a plaque for yourself as the number one dog emperor in the world?!" Another punch!
"Walking around that pug Liu Wuhua all day long! Drugging Yongyi Yongdan without telling me!" Accompanied by heavy panting, another punch!
"Speaking of you pug, you borrowed your courage from the heavens to humiliate my mother and concubine!" Yong Chen lowered his head and approached the emperor, staring into his eyes, grinning with white teeth, "I told you earlier, what are you doing for me?" Come here, I will pay back the slap my mother and concubine slapped you! Did I say that? Did you say that? Huh?" Staring at the emperor's already red and swollen cheeks, he punched hard again, but it hit the stomach.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan moaned in pain, his knees curled up.
Yong Chen flicked his sore fingers, and said with a sneer, "Do you really think I don't want to be the emperor?" He looked down at the emperor, "What are you looking at? Want to bite me? You can call the guards outside to kill me!" He showed a malicious smile, "Anyway, I have beaten enough. Show your status as the emperor—you can see how the person who beat the emperor should be punished according to the law." He blew on his fingers before asking When he got up, he was countered by the emperor and fell to the ground.
"You bastard, talking about status with me? Talking about rules?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan roared: "With your status, can you live in Yuqing Palace?! With your status, if the master humiliates his ministers to death, you deserve it." The concubine mother slaps herself!" The cross arm was around Yong Chen's neck, and he couldn't breathe.
Yongchen grabbed the emperor's shoulders from behind and pushed his upper body up with all his strength. The two of them rolled and beat, roaring while fighting!
"I don't know who will definitely keep me in Yuqing Palace!"
"I'm blind! I didn't recognize you, a conscientious bastard!"
"The dog calls me to live in Yuqing Palace!"
"I called the dog to live in Yuqing Palace!"
The strength of the two of them was almost exhausted, they were sweating profusely, they had no way to fight, they were no different from children in the market, only relying on one breath to fight to the death, only roaring more and more angrily!Like a cross-eyed rooster.
"The dog calls me to live in Yuqing Palace! The dog calls me to sit beside the dragon chair!"
"I call the dog to live in Yuqing Palace! I call the dog to sit beside the dragon chair!"
The two people were cursing back and forth, their eyes met, and suddenly they both felt the ridiculousness of the scene, they didn't know who was the first to laugh out loud, they let go of each other's hands, and lay flat and panted.
Occasionally tilting his head to glance at the other party, looking at the slap prints and five finger marks on the other party's face, and looking at his own messy appearance, it is all funny.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Yong Chen spoke first, "Do you want to hear a joke?"
Before hearing the joke, Emperor Jing Yuan Yong Zhan was already laughing.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan rested his arms on his pillow, looked at the algae well on the top of the hall, and said in a low voice, "Did you know? It's very ugly to have a blood hole on your neck."
Yongchen was silent, imitating the appearance of the emperor, and put his arms behind his head, counted the 24 huanghuali lamp holders carved on the algae well one by one, and said: "People who take golden pills will have purple skin after death. It's very ugly." Seeing the emperor tilting his head to look at him, he said again: "Have you never heard of it? Swallowing a golden elixir into the belly is my fate."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan just looked at him quietly, with sadness in his eyes.
"Hey, although you are ten years older than me, it's not time to worry about your lifespan—look at your father, you have to live at least a few dozen years before writing memorials every day until you want to die. Years!" Yong Chen slammed into the emperor's arm, and said seriously: "I live like this every day, what kind of longevity do you still want to pursue?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Yongchen, "Good brother."
Yong Chen sat up, raised his eyes to look at him, put his hand on his hand, and said with a smile: "Good brother, forever!" He deliberately used his strength to get up, and the emperor almost fell to the ground again.
He heard the outside say: "Your Majesty, the empress is here. People from Shangyang Palace said that the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Shugui sent His Royal Highness King Yongjun to talk."
"Their rescuers moved very fast, not only fast but also complete." Yong Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this head of guards must be promoted."
"My reputation of prudence in my life has been ruined by you." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan returned rationally, and it was also a headache.
Yongchen will resign.
"Wait a minute." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan paused and said, "Go out and ask Su Danmo to get two ice packs quietly." He lightly touched his numbed cheek, and gasped in pain.
"Understood!" Yong Chen agreed, exited the palace, saw the Empress Shi Shi and others were about to enter, said with a smile: "Greetings to the Queen's Wife."
The empress is the original concubine Shi Shi, now seeing Yong Chen's swollen face and disheveled clothes, she was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty Yong, what's the matter?" The ordinary people had already fled away.
Empress Shi Shi entered the palace, seeing the emperor's appearance, she was even more terrified, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, this, this...you and Prince Yong..."
"It's nothing, don't make a fuss." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan sat behind the imperial case and said: "I just wrestled with Yong'an on a whim, and the people below are always making a fuss. I'm safe here, the queen don't panic .”
Empress Shi looked at the emperor's face with finger marks on it, and couldn't believe that it was made from wrestling, but she didn't dare to question it, and said: "That's good, I think the guards outside heard it wrong." Now, their responsibilities are bound to be careful, and the emperor should not blame them." She stepped forward and said cautiously: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has urged the concubines several times, and the roster of this year's draft——Your Majesty, have you checked the selections? ?”
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "When I ascended the throne, the government is in chaos, and I have no time to take care of it. The empress is too tired to explain a few words to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let's talk about the draft a few years later."
Empress Shi stared at the emperor so closely, she was already a little idiotic, and she dared not persuade her anymore, she just said: "The concubine knows, and must explain clearly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are concubines in the harem, you just need to work hard to manage it." "He said again: "The emperor has lost weight..."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan picked up the memorial and saw that she had no intention of leaving, so he said kindly: "Since the queen is here, let's have dinner with me at noon."
Empress Shi was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes... my concubine..." Seeing that the emperor's mind had sunk into the memorial, she dared not speak any more, and sat down to accompany her quietly.
Yongchen knew that going to Shangyang Palace would not escape the nagging, so he simply ran away, slipped away, and went directly out of the palace and back to the mansion.
Li Man'er was stunned when she saw Yong Chen's face, "Your Highness, what's wrong with this?"
Lianxi came back from the palace with Yong Chen, and knowing about Zhang Tianshi, he muttered: "Even if you killed a demon, the emperor can't beat you like this! That stinky Taoist is not a good person."
"Although he is not a good person." Sitting by the window, facing the warm wind in the early spring evening, Zou Tingyan said leisurely, "But it shouldn't be up to the prince to kill him. This is a time of peace, and anyone who is not a good person will be killed—" That was something that only happened during times of war. His Highness killed Zhang Tianshi today, which is called a lynching at a young age. Not to mention that the murderer today was His Highness the County King, the Emperor himself came to kill him. Let the outside civil servants know, then It is also to kneel down and remonstrate with death. His Highness's move is also a violation of the law, and he will be sent to prison for review; what's more, His Highness is still the king of the county. He kills people on a whim. He is not an ordinary person, but quite trusted by the emperor. The heavy Zhang Tianshi—this matter is going to be big, it can pierce the sky."
Yong Chen lay back on the rocking chair, took the medicine from Lianxi, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is too much to worry about. In the past, I would have believed what you said, but today I have made it clear to the emperor, that is Even if the sky is pierced, we are still brothers."
"Brother?" Zou Tingyan smirked, playing with the word.
"Why, Mister doesn't believe it?" Yong Chen grinned, thinking that Lian Xi's clumsy hands hurt him.
Zou Tingyan opened his dull eyes, smiled and said: "Your Highness can do whatever you want." He didn't want to argue with him.
Li Man'er took ice cubes, wrapped them in a veil and put them on Yong Chen's swollen skin, and said: "Your Highness's clothes - I will change them in the evening and I will mend them for you, maybe you can still wear them."
"It's all torn like this, if it can be mended, then Mr. Zou is really lucky." Yong Chen grinned.
Li Man'er was teased by him, her face turned red, she didn't dare to say anything about him, she just said: "My maidservant, go and see if the tea is ready." Then she lifted the curtain and went out.
"Tear?" Zou Tingyan caught the key word.
In today's world, there are very few people who dare to tear off the clothes of King Yong and punch him in the face.
Yong Chen coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Seriously, Mr. Zou, when did you and Li Man'er get married?"
This time it was Zou Tingyan who coughed lightly, and said uncomfortably: "I, I haven't talked about this with Man'er yet..."
"Hey, Mr. Zou, it's your fault. When you talk about other people's affairs, you are clear and clearer than my client. How come you are confused about your own affairs?" Yong Chenjian Xi Xi said with a smile: "Do you think how many years you and Li Man'er have been wasting? Now that you have met again with great difficulty, why don't you grasp it well? Besides, you are a fiancé couple, what are you talking about now? My lord Just arrange a bridal chamber for you!"
Zou Tingyan groped to find the teacup, heard that he almost knocked over the teacup, coughed again, and said as calmly as possible: "His Royal Highness, please let me tell Man'er first..." But the roots of his ears were slightly red.
Yong Chen smiled secretly when he saw it, and deliberately said: "When you get married, if you want to stay in the capital, you can live in this mansion. I will arrange two maids for your wife. Your wife used to be well-clothed and well-fed. Miss. If you don’t like Kyoto, I still have a garden in Gusu. Su Zimo, a Qing guest from my house, supervised the construction of the garden in person. ..." He continued to speak, but saw Zou Tingyan touched the bamboo stick for exploring the way, pointed it crookedly at the ground, and almost fled out in a panic.
Yong Chen laughed loudly, the muscles on his face were pulled by the smile, and he cried out in pain again.
"Sir, why did you come out?" Li Man'er escaped just now and was making tea in the porch, seeing Zou Tingyan coming out alone, a little strange.
Zou Tingyan collected himself and moved over.
Li Man'er moved the table to sit for him, "Want tea, sir?" She used to call Ayan when she and Zou Tingyan were childhood sweethearts, but now she only calls sir like everyone else in the mansion.
Zou Tingyan sat down slowly, licked his dry lips, and asked after a while, "Man'er, can you blame me?"
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Li Man'er said softly: "There was no one who was right or wrong about what happened back then. If there was something wrong, it was because God broke your eyes, which made you not say a word. Besides, the matter of our family is that my father was too greedy and failed to be a good official, let alone blame you." After a pause, he asked again: "Sir, can you blame me? ?”
"Blame you?" Zou Tingyan was startled, "How could I blame you?"
"Back then, if I had asked someone to go to your house and ask, maybe I would have known about your eyes... Then, even if you don't come to me these years, I will go to you..."
"Really?" Zou Tingyan couldn't believe it, "Are you really coming to find me?"
"Of course it's true." Li Man'er said again: "Actually, I still want to thank your family. At the time when our family was raided, if it wasn't for your elder brother, I'm afraid I would have been sold as a slave like other women in the family, or with My mother and sister are like... committed suicide in prison... At the beginning, it was your elder brother who made some connections to redeem me, so I fled to Kyoto..."
"My elder brother?" Zou Tingyan was even more surprised. He and his elder brother were at odds and had not heard from each other for many years. All he knew was that his elder brother was the county magistrate, but the brothers were really indifferent.
"Exactly. If your elder brother is willing to help me, it is naturally because of you... Actually, your elder brother loves you very much..."
Zou Tingyan had very complicated feelings in his heart, so he didn't want to think about family affairs, and asked: "Then I just ask you, are you still willing to be with me now?"
Li Man'er's eyes were filled with tears, "I've been waiting for you." But he said again: "It's just that I am a member of the county prince's mansion now, and even your life was saved by the county prince..."
Zou Tingyan said: "I know all of this. I just, I just became blind, I don't know if your heart is still the same as before. Now that I know, I will tell His Highness the rest of the things—you, you do not Cry……"
Li Man'er picked up the palm-leaf fan, fanned the fire in the tea stove, choked up and said, "I didn't cry, yes, it was the firewood that smoked my eyes..."
"The eyes are important?" Zou Tingyan leaned forward, but he couldn't see his eyes, and he didn't know what to do.
Li Man'er saw it in her eyes, and said with a tearful smile, "Ah Yan."
"Ok?"
"You're such a goose."
Zou Tingyan's face was red, and he said in a low voice: "I'll go and explain clearly to His Highness. Let's leave the mansion after a while..."
"Lifu?" Li Man'er was startled.
Zou Tingyan nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "The Royal Mansion of Yong County is not a place to live for a long time."
Li Man'er hurriedly asked: "But His Royal Highness is in danger?"
Zou Tingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "After all, I was once a counselor against the king's mansion. I lived in the mansion for a long time, and I did more harm than good to King Yong."
"I was also worried about this." Li Man'er sighed, "As long as His Highness agrees, let's leave earlier, and don't delay for a long time and hurt His Highness instead." As soon as he said this, he felt quite reluctant.
Yongchen poked his head out of the window and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zou, are you sure?" The atmosphere between the two of them was immediately broken.
In the days that followed, Yong Chen recuperated in the mansion openly.The officials in Jingzhong heard that King Yong was in the mansion, so they sent in gifts at the price of water.Yongchen accepts gifts as usual, but no one is seen.
"These people are really omnipotent. Is this king an idler who doesn't have any position, worthy of their concern?"
Zou Tingyan said indifferently: "Your Highness, you can't see your own weight clearly. In today's world, His Highness the Prince of the County is already under one person and above ten thousand people."
Yongchen frowned, and said to Lianxi who was waiting for a response: "I don't see you, even if it's the old part of the master, I don't see it!" He touched his face that had just been wiped with wound medicine, and sighed: "Can this face see people?"
Here Yongchen can still hide from people, but Jingyuan Emperor Yongzhan in the palace can't even hide.
In the first three days, he claimed that he was not sick, and when the finger marks disappeared on his face, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan went to court, his face was still bruised, and he only said to the outside world that he accidentally bumped into it.
The majestic emperor of a country bumped his face while walking, who would believe it?
So gradually there were rumors that the empress committed the crime, and that the empress was jealous because the six palaces were empty. The news of the emperor's suspension of the draft was spread, and it was all right.As a result, the rumors became more and more true. The latest version is that the emperor got lucky with a maid named Yuyan in the empress's palace after drinking, but was bumped into by the empress, so the empress slapped the emperor and slapped the emperor in jealousy. The court lady named Yuyan was quietly executed and thrown into the well of the cold palace.
A few months later, when Yong Chen heard the rumor, he laughed until his stomach ached.He looked at Liu Wuhua and said with a smile: "Well, although this is a rumor, it may be somewhat believable. Even the maid's name is there. If Master Liu wants to know the truth, just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the register."
Liu Wuhua knew that he was a bully, so he said: "Your Highness, don't bully me, I know it's Your Highness."
"So?" Yong Chen leaned against the palace wall with folded arms, casually looking at Liu Wuhua with downcast eyes, really in a bad mood.It was originally to discuss with the emperor for the hundred-day ceremony of the emperor's ascension to the throne, but he met this pug on the way.
"Your Highness, please keep this in mind. You may be the emperor's brother, but the emperor is the emperor after all." Liu Wuhua seemed to be suppressing his anger.
"Are you warning me?"
"A minister is just doing his best to be loyal and loving to the emperor."
"Do you know? If you changed your face half a month ago, this king will give you another whip." Yong Chen said casually, with a smile, "But now, this king doesn't I know you a lot."
Liu Wuhua was taken aback.
Yong Chen grinned, revealing that nasty smile that belonged only to him, "What's the point of beating a dog when you can beat the dog's owner?"
"you!"
Yong Chen clicked his tongue twice, and said frivolously: "Master Liu is really beautiful when he is angry." He laughed and walked away.
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jingyuan Yong Zhan saw Yong Chen coming, he was happy, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence for you to come. The hundred-day celebration will be tomorrow, and there will be many rewards. I am really poor this time."
Yong Chen smiled and said, "Can I ask my younger brother to help me?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said in surprise: "How much is your annual salary as a county king? A drop in the bucket, how can it be enough?" He added: "I can't use the money earned from the property under your own name."
"The emperor forgot? You gave your younger brother a fat job." Yong Chen blinked, "Confiscating the house."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan laughed loudly, "How much did you get?"
Yong Chen held out a finger.
"100 million taels?"
Yong Chen smiled and shook his fingers, "Give it a bigger guess."
"One million taels?!"
Yongchen nodded.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan dropped the memorial in his hand and said angrily: "These moths!"
Yong Chen grinned and said: "Let's add two to one to make five, and give you 500 million taels—that's what those moths are doing for the country and the people."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan also felt that this was quite ironic, and said with a smile: "I owe this to your blessing."
Yong Chen looked at the imperial edicts of rewards piled up on the table, counted them, "Hey, there are quite a few."
"Is there any female relatives in your mansion that you want to reward?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "If there are, I will seal them together."
"This is not."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan teased: "You have to work harder. How many beautiful women do you want me to reward you? The House of Internal Affairs is urging me every day to give me a headache."
"There is a maid - not the female family member of the younger brother. Can this kind of seal?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was taken aback, "Maid?"
| "She is the daughter of a criminal official, and she and that Mr. Zou are childhood sweethearts. Now that the two are getting married, the younger brother has nothing to give away..."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "It's really never happened to be a maid. It's rare for you to say this. I make an exception and make her a county lord, and let her marry in a beautiful manner."
"Emperor Hong En!" Yong Chen smiled and cupped his hands, glanced at the unfolded imperial decree, and said casually: "Why are there no seals?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said: "Let the eunuch send it to Shangyang Palace later, and use the seal together."
Although the new monarch has ascended the throne, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.
All imperial decrees that need to be sealed must be reviewed by the Supreme Emperor.If you say it, Xindi will become a joke.
Yong Chen smiled and said: "My brother is going to Shangyang Palace to pay his respects anyway, so I will bring you there along the way."
"Then thank you very much." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan breathed a sigh of relief, "This celebration has caused me a lot of trouble."
"The younger brother stepped back first."
"Okay, let's go. See you at the celebration tomorrow." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan laughed, and said: "The farmer of Changchun Garden came to report the day before yesterday, saying that the lotus seed you selected this spring has bloomed. When the celebration is over, let's The two of you went to appreciate the lotus together—I haven't rested for some days."
Yong Chen responded with a smile.
When they arrived at Shangyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor was teasing the Eighteenth Prince Yong Ye to recite poems. Seeing Yong Chen coming, he asked the nanny to take Yong Ye away.He glanced at the stack of imperial edicts held by the eunuch behind Yongchen, pointed to the desk under the window and said: "Let's put it there, I won't be in a good mood, I will use the seal together."
Yong Chen looked along and saw that there were already two piles of imperial edicts on the case.
He walked forward, looked at the gray-haired Supreme Emperor, and said with a smile: "Father's place is better. It is quiet and comfortable. My son and minister just came from Qinzheng Hall. The Emperor is going to faint."
"Hmph. You are the only one who thinks Shangyang Palace is good. You can ask the person in Qinzheng Hall if he wants to change with me, will he be willing?"
Yongchen choked, and said again: "Tomorrow is the Hundred Days Celebration. Father, you don't need a seal here, and the scene tomorrow will not be good."
The Supreme Emperor took out the jade seal from the brocade box on the case, played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "The scene is not good, and it is also ugly for him to be the emperor. Why are you so anxious?"
Yong Chen smiled and said: "It is the emperor who is ugly, but all the ministers know that the jade seal is in the hands of the emperor—now that the new emperor will be a hundred days old, but the jade seal is still in your hands, what will the history books and wild history say in the future? "
The overlord's complexion changed slightly.
Yong Chen sighed, and said softly: "We have spent so much effort, don't we all want to keep the bad things in the royal family? You have walked 99 steps, and my son has also walked 99 steps, and it is only this The last step, is it going to fall short?"
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was moved, Yong Chen said again: "Besides, throughout the ages, there have been many people who can be good emperors, and how many people can be good emperors? Not to mention those who can be good emperors and great emperors. Then Or, you take the opportunity of the Hundred Days Celebration to return the jade seal to the new emperor, we are both good to each other, and the emperor will treat you respectfully even if it is for material discussion."
The Supreme Emperor stroked the jade seal in his hand, like a child holding a toy.He said slowly: "Let me think about it." His voice was old—he was old after all.
Yong Chen went to the yard, playing with Yong Ye while waiting.
Two hours later, the chief eunuch came out with the brocade box in his hand, and said to Yong Chen: "The Supreme Emperor asks His Royal Highness to bring this thing to the Emperor. The Supreme Emperor will not go for the celebration, and he has been recuperating from the exhaustion of his body for the past few days."
Yong Chen took the brocade box, and was also a little excited, and said to the eunuch: "You tell the father, please take care of his health, and the ministers often come to see him."
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at Yong Chen who had gone and returned, and asked with a smile: "Why are you back again?"
"I forgot to give the emperor something." Yong Chen also said with a smile.
"what?"
"Five million taels." Yong Chen smiled, and put the brocade box on the imperial case, "See you at the celebration tomorrow."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan couldn't help laughing, watched him leave the palace, shook his head and smiled and said: "It's still such a hot temper..." As he spoke, he opened the brocade box, and the smile on his face gradually turned into shock.
***
Nongxia was long, and Yong Chen waited in the mansion until Li Man'er received the imperial decree of the county lord. Seeing the shock and joy on her face, she said with a smile: "You just wait for the king to come back to preside over the wedding for you!" That's it for the celebration.
The celebration in the palace is already over halfway, all kinds of worldly scenes are being staged on the stage, and all civil and military officials are sitting under the stage.
Yong Chen saw that there was an empty seat on the left of the emperor, and knew that it was reserved for him, so he approached him politely and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor for a hundred days on his enthronement."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan stared at him with a smile, and motioned him to sit down, "You are late, you will be punished with wine."
"My brother accepts the punishment!" Yong Chen took the wine cup, drank it up, and said with a smile: "I should thank the emperor."
"Thanks for what?"
"The new county lord is so happy that he is about to cry." Yong Chen exaggerated.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan knew his temper, so he ignored it, and handed him the playbook, "You click on it."
"My younger brother doesn't know opera. The emperor will order for my younger brother—whatever you order, my younger brother will listen to."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan did not refuse, and said: "Then click on "Second Entry to the Palace"."
The side was too listening, so I hurriedly reported to the stage, and immediately changed the play.
Yong Chen smiled and said: "Second entry into the palace? It doesn't sound like martial arts." He couldn't get used to the babbling singing, so it was interesting to watch martial arts.
"What are you talking about, what are you listening to?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan snorted, "Listen carefully."
"This... what does the emperor tell my younger brother about this play?" Yong Chen scratched his head, "Otherwise, my younger brother doesn't know where to start."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had nothing to do with him, sighed, and said in detail: "This is about the death of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty. Concubine, in an attempt to usurp the throne, King Xu Yanzhao and Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Bo sternly remonstrated in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion..."
Yongchen listened quietly, still holding the melon seeds in one hand, and gradually sank into the plot told by the emperor.
"... Concubine Li was obsessed with obsession, and the monarch and his ministers argued fiercely, and broke up unhappy. Li Liang sealed off Zhaoyang Courtyard, isolating the inside and outside, and the evidence of usurping the throne is obvious..."
The emperor's voice was clear and peaceful, Yong Chen listened carefully, and slowly forgot to crack the melon seeds in his hand.As if at this moment, the stage in front of him disappeared, and the palace full of officials and women became illusions. He returned to the time when he was a child in Yuqing Palace, eating and sleeping with the elder brother of the prince, listening to the elder brother talking about poetry, rhythm, Talk about opera, history and scriptures and time.
"...Xu and Yang went to the palace for the second time to remonstrate after exploring the emperor's spirit. At this time, Concubine Li had repented, so she dragged each other with state affairs. Later, Yang Bo mobilized troops and killed Li Liang. Empress Li knew Xu and Yang very well. Loyalty is trustworthy, and prestige is strong enough to overwhelm the head of the country. So I entrusted the young master to Xu and Yang, so as to strengthen the family and society. Do you understand?"
Yong Chen still didn't come back to his senses, he smiled vainly, and said: "It sounds interesting, this play should be watched carefully."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan also seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "It is not easy to perform well in this play. Nasusheng, Tonghammer, and Tsing Yi are all sung together. It is heavy and lengthy, and it is quite difficult to sing. The three of them knelt down and sang that song together. The first section is particularly laborious, and the voice must have great courage. Do you know why?"
Yongchen stared in a daze, he didn't understand the key point, so he had to ask back, "Why?"
Seeing his stupidity, Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Although Gai's syllables are hurried, the volume of his voice still needs to be leisurely."
Speaking of which, the stage is already singing.
Yongchen looked at it, pointed to it and asked: "This is the servant surnamed Yang?" Then he pointed to another and asked: "That old one is King Ding Xu...?"
"Xu Yanzhao." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said helplessly, "You don't even want to read the 24 histories carefully."
Yongchen smiled cheekily and didn't take it seriously.
But I heard that Xu and Yang on the stage were about to enter the palace, and the servant Yang Bo sang: "Master Qiansui, don't rush into the cold palace, stand at the gate of the palace and listen to the students explain it in detail. He wanted to kill the king of Han. Zhang Zifang brought Han Xin to visit with his sword on his back, and put him on the battlefield in front of Jiuli Mountain. He forced Chu Xiangyu to die in Wujiang, and later made Han Xin the king of Sanqi. The monarchs and ministers set up a net of heaven and earth, and San Xuan Han Xin died. On September [-]th, the snow and frost fell, and the loyalty and goodness of the world cannot last long. The thousand-year-old entered the cold palace and the students did not go."
"This man surnamed Yang is afraid of dying." Yong Chen giggled, "This minister understands." As if to make a footnote to his words, only the king Xu Yanzhao on the stage said: "Where did the fear come from?"
Yang Bo sang again: "What I'm afraid of is that after ten years of cold windows, nine years of traveling, August examinations, and seven articles, I will end up as a servant of the Ministry of War. I'm afraid I will end up with nothing!"
Yong Chen guessed right, clapped his hands with joy and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I was told!"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had no choice but to say: "There is no one smarter than you."
But Xu Yanzhao persuaded him: "What do you want to learn from Han Xin's death, and I stood at the gate of the palace and listened to the old man to say something else: How can the former prince be compared with the emperor of Han Gao, how can the lady of Longguo be compared with the empress Lu; how is the thief Li Liang?" Comparing to Prime Minister Xiao He, how can your lord compare to the King of Sanqi. This cold palace is supposed to be a Hongmen banquet, and there is an old man who is better than Fan Kuai, holding a copper hammer, and escorting him, so it is not a problem."
Yong Chen nodded, "This old man still has courage."
In the end, Yang Shilang was persuaded by King Ding and went to the palace together to persuade Concubine Li Gui.Concubine Li Gui was about to persuade these two people to escort them.Just listen to you coming and going on the stage, singing lively.
Xu Yanzhao: The old minister is too old to take control of the country, and the Minister of the Ministry of War should protect the country.
Concubine Li Yan: Brother Xu Wang is too old to take control of the country, so he turned around and called the Minister of the Ministry of War: You protect the young master and ascend to the dragon throne, your name is eternal.
Yang Bo: I was so frightened that I bowed my head and didn't dare to look, and tremblingly said to the empress: I edited the script of resigning to the king last night, and today I will enter the palace to bid farewell to the empress.Wang Guotai graciously released his ministers, and they returned to their hometowns to live in peace.
Concubine Li Yan: Don't talk about what you said before, don't look at the Ai family and look at the previous king.Xu Wangxiong protects the young master to ascend to the dragon throne, and I will make you a side-by-side king.
When Yong Chen heard this, he didn't understand and asked, "What is this 'word side by side king'? Is it so powerful?"
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan said slowly: "The word side-by-side king is a one-word king with a status comparable to that of the emperor. It is the highest type of king from ancient times to the present."
"What about the king of 'One Word'?"
"Look at the show well, you macaque, you are so disturbing that I can't watch the play." Even though Emperor Jingyuan said so, he still patiently explained: "The so-called one-word king is to crown the king with the ancient country. Names, such as King Han, King Qi, King Zhao, etc. For example, Han Xin in the Western Han Dynasty was named King Qi because of his meritorious service in destroying Qi. Later, because of Liu Bang’s suspicion, he was named King Chu on the pretext that Chu was not peaceful. Another example is Peng Yue, Because he was the first to raise troops in the territory of Wei State, he was later named King of Liang..."
Yong Chen nodded and said: "So that's the case."
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at him, and suddenly said: "Do you want to do it?"
"What are you doing?" Yong Chen was watching the stage to keep up with the plot, while still eating melon seeds, it took a while to react, and turned to look at the emperor.
"I'll make you the one-word side-by-side king, how about it?" Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at Yongchen seriously, and smiled, "Which word do you want to choose?"
Yong Chen was stunned, the music on the stage and the voices of people around him all became a chaotic background.
Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan pulled Yongchen to stand up.
The entire hall was silent, and the actors on the stage stayed where they were.
"I entitle you to be the king standing shoulder to shoulder." Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan looked at him and said seriously: "Stand shoulder to shoulder with me."
Yong Chen looked at the emperor, and saw that his eyes were clear, as if pretending to be the whole summer.
***
"His Highness is back?" Li Man'er came up to meet her, "It's hot outside, but it's too hot?"
Yong Chen walked into the house in a little daze, seeing Li Man'er's flustered appearance, it was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, he hadn't recovered from the shock of being named a king by the emperor.He went straight to the study, only to see Zou Tingyan, who originally lived in the side room of the study, packing up his things.
"What are you doing sir?"
Zou Tingyan stopped his movements, "I should go now."
"In such a hurry?"
"The chariots and horses have already been prepared, and I will leave with Man'er tomorrow." Zou Tingyan said lightly, "I am very grateful for being taken in by His Highness these days. For this reason, before I leave, I have one more word to say to Your Highness." .”
"Why did you leave?" Yong Chen was puzzled, "At least after we got married—this king was fine before he left in the morning, and Man'er was happy to accept the order of the county lord—what do you want to say to this king?"
"The boy in the mansion has already said that the emperor has named His Royal Highness the word side-by-side king."
"Exactly, watching the opera, who knew that the emperor would learn from the opera." Yong Chen laughed, "This king is still a little confused at this moment."
Zou Tingyan smiled slightly, looked up at the sky and thought for a while, "Did you watch "Second Entry to the Palace"?"
Yong Chen said happily: "Sir, you also know about this play?"
Zou Tingyan smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Let's just tell His Highness a libretto from the play." He read it plainly: "In the past, Chu and Han fought for power, and the Hongmen held a banquet to harm the King of Han." That Yang Shilang declined
