The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

"Rebellious son, prodigal son, prodigal son..." In addition to throwing things out, there were bursts of shouting and cursing in the medical hall, "These are medicinal materials for curing diseases and saving lives, how could you spoil them, you little bastard? You are such a prodigal son, take your things and get out of here!"

There are already many spectators around on the street, the man in front of Jing Ke's horse has no sense of being surrounded by the crowd at all, he is not in a hurry to get up, but hurriedly puts all the things on the ground together, Suddenly screamed: "Father, dad, where is my manuscript, even if you kick me out, you still have to give me the manuscript."

The sound of heavy footsteps soon came from inside the medical hall. Hearing this sound, one could tell that the people inside were obviously still angry.

Jing Ke turned her head and saw that the man who called himself Old Man Shi had already walked to the door of the clinic.He slammed the book in his hand on the head of the man on the street, and then closed the door of the hospital with a "bang".

"Brother, are you alright?" Jing Ke saw the man sitting on the street in a daze with a book on his head, wondering if his father had hit him so hard just now, breaking his head?

Thinking that he was also rejected by the emperor for no reason, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him, went forward to take the book off his head, and helped him up.

"I made you laugh." The man finally came to his senses, but at this time there were more and more people watching, it was not a good time to exchange pleasantries. The teahouse sat down and chatted.

It turned out that this man was named Shi Qing, that old man Shi was his father just now, and their ancestors practiced medicine in this Shuangshi town. More than ten years ago, by chance, his father cured the emperor's foot disease, and the emperor gave him a piece of "Hua Tuo" The imperial plaque of "Rebirth" was given to his family. Since then, his family's medical center has become more famous within dozens of miles.

This Shi Qing studied medicine since he was a child, but his family's ancestral secret recipes are all weird things, and he has been very interested in these things since he was a child. Going to make something new.

"Brother Shi is also passionate about practicing medicine. Why did your father drive you out?" Jing Ke was even more puzzled after hearing his words. Hearing what Shi Qing said, his only hobby is to make some medicinal materials in the medical center. , he really couldn't figure out why the old man Shi would sweep Shi Qing out of the house.

"It's hard to say! To tell you the truth, it is not easy to improve the curative effect of the ancestral secret recipe. It requires a lot of medicinal materials to try again and again, not to mention that it takes a lot of medicinal materials to come up with something new. My father It was because I was consuming medicinal materials all day long, but still had no effect, and said that I would not listen to me, that's why I was kicked out. Brother, come and see..."

Shi Qing spread out the scroll of manuscripts that his father threw out at the end on the table, and turned over a few pages for Jing Ke to read.

"This is the Sleeping Pill I'm researching. It's for migraine patients. After taking it, the patient can have a good night's sleep."

Jing Ke looked over with his fingers, and the manuscript contained prescriptions one by one, such as the price of something, and the names were all medicinal materials, but Jing Ke couldn't understand it if he really let him read it, he only knew Migraine patients are indeed suffering.

"This is a good thing. I wonder how long I can sleep after taking Brother Shi's sleeping pill?" He asked curiously.

"Cough..." Shi Qing coughed lightly, picked up the teacup on the table, and covered it up, "After taking my Sleeping Pill, I can only sleep for an hour at the moment, but as long as I improve again, I can sleep peacefully all night , shouldn't be a problem."

"I wonder how many times brother Shi has improved?" Jing Ke became more interested.

"It has been improved nine hundred and ninety-nine times, and I believe the last one will be successful. But now I am kicked out of the house by my father and I am penniless. This last time, I don't know when it will be completed." Shi Qing said. , the voice lowered down.

Seeing his bleak look, Jing Ke also fell silent.

"I can't figure out why Brother Shi wants to study the Sleeping Pill. Wouldn't it be better to directly study the pill for migraine?" Jing Ke was silent for a moment, and suddenly had such a question.

"Ahem, this is just a personal hobby. Brother, don't underestimate this Sleeping Pill, it is three-point poisonous, and my little Sleeping Pill is colorless and tasteless, and the harm to the body is also reduced to the minimum. Besides, it is a good one. Sleep is the best way to take care of the body, some people are getting worse and worse just because they can't sleep well at night, my sleep pill is very useful."

What Shi Qing said was so serious, but Jing Ke didn't believe it. He had already realized that the so-called weird things were actually things of little use. , has not faded away, he thought for a while, and invited him with a smile:

"Why don't you go to the capital with me, Brother Shi? Although my family is not a wealthy family, it's not a problem to help Brother Shi play with things you like."

Jing Ke's words were very modest.In fact, even if the emperor has a grudge against him in his heart, he will definitely not treat him badly on the surface, otherwise the emperor will not be able to explain to the commander, and behind him is the Xiao family, and it is just a matter of lifting Shi Qing to make some medicinal materials.

Shi Qing saw that Jing Ke was handsome and full of wealth, but he treated others very kindly. It was very rare that he didn't have a hint of arrogance of a rich man. Moreover, he really needed a place to stay at the moment, so he accepted his offer to continue his research. Invitation, asked the teahouse clerk to fetch a pen and paper, left a letter for his father, and asked someone to send it to the medical clinic, and he went to Beijing with Jing Ke.

When they walked halfway, they were surrounded by dozens of oncoming riders. After listening to the conversation between the leader and Jing Ke, Shi Qing realized that this rich man, who claimed his surname was Wang Ke, had left Beijing privately. Jing Ke, the sixth prince.

After Jing Ke got together with his guards, he immediately apologized sincerely to Shi Qing for not giving his real name just now. Shi Qing felt that he had not misjudged the person, so he didn't mind his previous hidden identity and continued to follow him on the road.

When Jing Ke returned to the capital, he found that the capital was already in chaos. Xiao Zhenting obviously helped him hide the matter from the palace for him to leave the capital without permission, so it was only the people around him who were in chaos. The turmoil in the capital was actually It started because of the emperor's sudden attack on the prince.

These years, the emperor asked him to take over some political affairs in order to sharpen the prince. This time, for some unknown reason, the emperor suddenly removed all the prince's errands and punished him for half a year. The officials in the prince's womb were replaced by the emperor from top to bottom. Once again, anyone in the court who pleads for the prince will be reprimanded by the emperor.

There is another piece of news that has not been spread, but Xiao Zhenting still inquired about it secretly.On the night when Jing Ke secretly left Beijing for Shuangshi Town, someone from the palace went to the Fengcheng Prince's Mansion, held down the Fengcheng King, beat him with eighty sticks, and ordered him to recuperate well in the mansion from now on, and not to mess around. visit.

"The fact that His Highness went to Shuangshi Town can't be hidden from His Majesty's eyes and ears. His Majesty hasn't summoned His Highness in the past few days. I'm afraid he is still angry about the previous incident. Your Highness might as well admit his mistake."

Xiao Zhenting didn't know what the prince did wrong, but making the emperor so furious must have violated the emperor's big taboo, and Jing Ke's willful search for the truth despite the advice was probably also one of the emperor's taboos, the emperor didn't The outburst of Jing Ke was probably because of the honor of the Marquis of Yongning, and he was too lazy to attack him, but in this way, it would be even more difficult for Jing Ke to win the emperor's favor.

"Where did I go wrong, why do I have to admit it?" As soon as Xiao Zhenting finished speaking, Jing Ke jumped up.

If it was because of him going out of Beijing privately, the emperor wanted to punish him, and he would admit it, but hearing Xiao Zhenting's tone, it seemed that he was asked to admit his mistake for what he was looking for. As a son of man, he wanted to know the identity of his biological mother. Origin, what is wrong with it?

"Your Highness, the past is over. No matter what His Majesty did back then, His Majesty must have done it for His Majesty's benefit. What's more, His Majesty and His Majesty are so awkward. The commander-in-chief sees it, isn't he worried?"

As soon as Xiao Zhenting said this, Jing Ke immediately fell silent.

Although Jing Ke is Wei Yan's weakness, Wei Yan is not Jing Ke's weakness.He didn't care if he would make the emperor angry, anyway, the emperor never really liked him, but he definitely didn't want the commander to worry about him, let alone let the commander know about the stiff relationship between him and the emperor.Even if he wanted to pretend, he had to pretend to be a loving father and filial son in front of the commander in chief.

Jing Ke made up his mind, handed Shi Qing over to Xiao Zhenting for placement, and obediently entered the palace to admit his mistake.

"You are getting more and more courageous. How dare you go out of Beijing without your guards. What should you do if something happens?" Come on, I can't wait for someone to drag him down, break his dog legs directly, and see if he dares to run around in the future.

However, Jing Ke has been hiding from Wei Yan about Jing Ke's private trip to Beijing these days, and now he can only scold him a few times and punish him to kneel and reflect. When he got up, it was hard for him to answer.

Whether it's Jing Ke or Jing Qi, there's been a lot of trouble recently, and for some reason, everyone has become interested in those dusty past events.

Those things belong to the royal secrets, and are more related to the reputation of the royal family and the emperor's reputation. Even if Jing Li had a reason to bestow the death of Empress Xie, such secrets would not be allowed to be commented on the table, not to mention that his son is always his son , both Jing Ke and Jing Qi are his sons.Once the truth of the year was revealed, Jing Ke couldn't please, but Jing Qi couldn't please.

Although the Xie family and Empress Xie were forced into a desperate situation by Jing Li back then, the fact of treason is undeniable. Once the truth is revealed, how will Jing Qi, the son of Empress Xie, deal with herself?

Although Jing Li bestowed Empress Xie to death, the deepest enmity between Empress Xie and him was over the matter of the eldest son of the emperor and Concubine Shu. The biggest reason for his later fight with Xie's family was for power.

In the end, Empress Xie was just a victim of power struggle, and being the daughter of the Xie family was the biggest mistake of Empress Xie's life.Because she was the daughter of the Xie family, he didn't allow her to have a son, because she was the daughter of the Xie family. After she gave birth to a son, he began to force her continuously until she lost her mind and made a big mistake.

After Xie's family was uprooted by him and Empress Xie was bestowed dead by him, the grievances between him and Empress Xie had been settled, and he had no intention of putting the blame on Jing Qi, so he didn't show Jing Qi the way he always did. It's so annoying, and those sternness is just the temper that every father must have for his eldest son because of his expectations.

For this reason, he would definitely not allow anyone to touch the past.This time, Jing Qi was the crown prince, so he didn't suffer any crimes. His anger was borne by the people below, especially Fengcheng King, who was suspected of provoking in the middle, was punished with a stick.Anyway, at this time, Jing Li couldn't care less about continuing to show his benevolence.

Now, looking at Jing Ke who was kneeling down without saying a word, and thinking that this brat ran to the palace in Shuangshi Town specially for this matter, he extinguished the anger that hadn't been there for a long time, and ignited it again.

"Jing Ke, what exactly do you want to know?" Jing Qi wanted to know those things, but Jing Li still had some understanding. After all, it was true that Empress Xie did not die of a sudden illness as recorded in the history books, but Jing Ke's mother and concubine, although I only wrote down a few words, but they are basically facts. What is Jing Ke's reason for making such a fuss?

"I just want to know, who is Erchen's concubine mother and how did she pass away?" Of course, Jing Li couldn't know, because he treated Jing Ke obviously unfairly, which made Jing Ke suspect his concubine mother. Is there any strangeness between the identity and the cause of death?

"Your mother and concubine is Xue Meiren. She died of dystocia when she gave birth to you."

"Father, is this true? This son is no longer a child, and even a child can't be fooled by such words. If the identity of the son and mother is as the father said, why is there no information about her in the palace?" Records? Except for her name on the son-in-law's jade certificate, her name has never appeared in any records in the palace, and there is no trace of her existence left in the palace."

Jing Li was speechless for a while when asked by his son.

If Jing Ke was the son he was looking forward to, even if the woman's identity was ambiguous and could not be recorded truthfully, the records left would definitely not be so simple. In addition to erasing those traces that should not exist, there would definitely be many things that should be added. Things, from her birth and growth to entering the palace and giving birth to Cheng'en, will leave a record that can withstand inspection.If it is for the sake of the son and the mother, he will even forge a noble identity for the woman.

It's a pity that Jing Ke was just a child born because of a transaction. At that time, he had no status in his heart. It was his pity to have such a prince's identity certificate. How could he do those unnecessary things for him? thing.

"If you don't believe me, there is nothing you can do. In the matter of your mother and concubine, I am worthy of anyone." Jing Li closed his eyes and said.

"Did the son's mother and concubine really die in childbirth?" Jing Ke persisted and asked again.

With a loud "pa", Jing Li slapped the imperial case with his palm, and finally his anger broke out in full force.

"Jing Ke, don't think that if someone backs you up, I really can't do anything about you. You just kneel here tonight and reflect on yourself."

After Jing Li said this, he left Jing Ke behind.

In fact, other than punishing him to kneel here, he really has nothing to do with him, but of course he won't tell this brat, otherwise, wouldn't his tail be up to the sky, and I'm afraid he will Even more lawless.

Wei Yan's eyes and ears are definitely not as good as the emperor's, but the emperor punished Jing Ke to kneel in Zhaoren Hall to reflect. Although it was not comparable to the emperor's attack on the prince, it was still a big event, and it soon reached his ears.

In normal times, Wei Yan would have pleaded for Jing Ke in front of the emperor, but on this matter, Wei Yan was rarely silent.

Everyone in the Wei family should know about Jing Ke's proposal to the Marquis of Zhongyi, and Wei Yan naturally knew about it.The members of the Wei family discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with any good solution, so they could only wait and see what happened.

If the emperor bestows a marriage, the Wei family has no other choice but to thank you, but the emperor's wishes are unknown, but Jing Ke came to propose marriage, this matter is quite mysterious, and Wei Yan's eldest brother, Wei Ze, dare not agree easily This marriage.

Wei Ze had a headache for several days, trying to figure out what the emperor and Jing Ke, the royal father and son, were up to, and finally gave up on himself.Anyway, their Wei family respects the emperor's will in everything, and before Jing Ke asks the emperor's permission, he will never nod and agree to this marriage.

Even though they had such a plan, they didn't dare to make another marriage for Wei Minxuan, and directly rejected Jing Ke's idea.

In any case, Jing Ke is the emperor's son. Even if the emperor disagrees with this marriage, the Wei family will not give Jing Ke any face. God knows if the emperor will suddenly feel ashamed and want to trouble the Wei family. .Anyway, Jing Ke was older than Wei Minxuan, so even if he kept procrastinating, their Wei family would definitely be able to afford it.

Wei Yan also didn't understand the mystery, but he knew very well that he had better not get involved in this matter.Otherwise, it would be bad for the Wei family, and it would be bad for Jing Ke as well.

The older the emperor was, the more his temper became like a child's. He had to take the first place in his heart before he would give up. If he focused on standing on the Wei's side and Jing Ke's side, the emperor would definitely find ways to find him. their trouble.

So Wei Yan didn't say anything in the end, and he didn't do anything. He just pretended not to know about it. In addition to finishing his own affairs every day, he stayed by the emperor's side when he was free, and helped him deal with political affairs when he was busy. Eat, drink and have fun with him in your free time.Although the world is turned upside down outside, they still love each other.

This time Jing Ke was punished to kneel, Wei Yan still didn't say anything at first, but as time passed one by one, the emperor still didn't say anything to spare Jing Ke, Wei Yan couldn't hide his uneasiness soon.

"I know that you want to feel sorry for him. He won't listen to how I teach him. Occasionally, as a master, you should also say something to him." Jing Li saw Wei Yan glance at him from time to time, knowing his thoughts , the tone finally loosened.

It was not the first time that Jing Ke was punished by the emperor to kneel. The last time he was young, the more he knelt, the more he wanted to cry. This time he knelt, but he thought about a lot of things.The road he wants to take is still far away from the end, and not being loved by the emperor means that the road will be very difficult, but even so, he will go on firmly.

"Your Highness."

The weather in early spring was still a bit cold, and the moment the palace door was opened, a chill poured in. Jing Ke didn't move for several hours, and his body was completely icy cold.At this moment, someone came in and called him, and soon he had an extra coat on his body.

The familiar smell and the familiar warmth reminded him of the past a long time ago, that was the first time he knew the feeling of warmth in the cold palace, and he would never forget it in his life.

"Commander, I'm sorry..." Jing Ke was thinking just now that he couldn't cry anymore, so he couldn't help crying again.Because of King Fengcheng's words, he even doubted why the person in front of him was so kind to him. He was really a bastard, and he deserved to be punished by the emperor to kneel down.

"Okay, don't cry anymore, Your Highness is so old, you can't cry anymore." Wei Yan helped him up, patted his back to comfort him.

At the same moment, Jing Qi was also reflecting on the Crown Prince's East Palace.Now, except for a few servants who are close to him, all the other people here are arranged by the emperor. Even if he wants to inquire about the news of King Fengcheng, it is not easy.

Later, after spending a lot of money, he realized that King Fengcheng had been punished with a stick, but his life was fine.

"One day, Gu will not let you suffer this kind of grievance again."

When Jing Ke was holding Wei Yan and crying, Jing Qi was making an oath to Mingyue.

In Fengcheng Prince's Mansion, Xi Mu looked at Zuo Siming's injury, although he was not sad and weeping, but he was also very depressed.

"Teacher, don't worry, I can't die now. If one day I die, I must take the two princes to be buried with me." Zuo Siming's voice was weak, but he was clearly in a good mood, Knowing where he came from, he said this with confidence.

"Your Highness, why should you?" Xi Mu sighed long.

"Teacher, if you are afraid, get out of here now. If you want to go, no one can stop you."

"Your Highness, I will always be with you." The hatred of the country and the family, he can't persuade him, and he can't persuade him. The only thing he can do is to stay by his side, whether it is life or death.

On the second day, Jing Ke, with red eyes, went to pay his respects to the emperor, and made a request by the way.

"What are you talking about, you want to invite yourself to guard the border?" Jing Li frowned, not understanding why Jing Ke suddenly thought of this.

"Yes, the northwest border has always been unstable. My son wants to go to Chuzhou to guard the border, and I beg your father for permission." In Beijing, under the eyes of the emperor, Jing Ke can do too little, so he thought of going to the border to practice. idea.

Staying away from the capital is certainly inconvenient for consolidating the favor, but he doesn't have any favor now, so it's better to take advantage of his youth and go outside to sharpen himself and increase his strength.

Besides, as long as he is not in the capital, he is not afraid that the emperor will force him to get married, and his marriage will naturally be delayed indefinitely.

"Very good, I'm sure." Jing Li thought that he was playing to retreat, and wanted to blackmail Wei Yan by taking advantage of Wei Yan's reluctance to let him leave the capital. Yan knew, would he really be reluctant, and immediately agreed to his request.

In the early spring of the 16th year of Hongqing, the emperor's "most beloved" prince, King Rui Jing Ke, invited himself to Chuzhou to guard the border. The prince was locked up in the East Palace and restrained from self-reflection, but King Jingying appeared more often in front of the courtiers. This chaotic situation became even more confusing. .
