Baili Junyi couldn’t help but feel a sourness in his heart, “Yes, Father don’t worry, my son will definitely treat Ninghua well.”
Baili Qingcang nodded, the unwillingness and resentment in his eyes almost strong to overflow, just even though there are still ten thousand unwillingness, the heavens did not give him time to stay: “Jun yi, if anything happens to me, you don’t have to wait for me to ascend the throne after the great mourning, tomorrow, you immediately hold the ceremony of ascension to the throne …… the country can not be one day without a king.”
“Father …… how can this be?” Baili Junyi’s eyes widened in surprise.
Baili Qingcang held his hand, every word seemed extremely laborious: “This is …… the last holy decree I gave …… do you want to disobey the decree?”
“My son would not dare, my son obeys the decree.”
Baili Qingcang eyes flashed a gratifying smile, although regrettable, but in the end did not let the kingdom of Da An fall on the body of Baili Jin Yi that kind of ungrateful descendant, thinking, he slowly closed his eyes and fainted.
Baili Junyi hurriedly shouted, “Susanna Chen, come and help Father take a look.”
Susanna Chen quickly stepped forward and stabilized the last trace of Baili Kengtang’s breath with a golden needle, her tone extraordinarily grave: “Your Highness, the Emperor’s body is extremely weak and needs to recuperate.”
Baili Junyi carefully sent Baili Kengcang to the back hall, instructed Chen Susanna to take care of it, and then reappeared in the Chengqian Hall, his eyes swept from the civil and military officials one by one: “Father’s final decree, you have also heard it clearly, tomorrow, I will be enthroned as the emperor, today the day is also late, all of you love the Secretary simply do not go out of the palace, I think that you would like to stay here to pray for the blessing of Father, right? ”
The officials hurriedly knelt and saluted, “Yes, I am willing to pray for the Emperor’s blessings.”
“Good, come on people, bring some more candles over, and by the way, move some Buddhist scriptures from the Book Depository, so that all the ministers can copy the scriptures and pray for blessings for Father Emperor.”
Scripture copying and praying for blessings, or for the Emperor to pray for blessings, in order to show that the heart is pious, are to kneel down to copy, now is the cold winter months, kneeling in the Chengqian Hall overnight, they are afraid that they will be directly kneeling waste.
Soon, the chamberlain prepared the Buddhist scriptures and the tables and brushes and ink for copying the scriptures neatly and sent them to the officials in the hall. Looking at their reluctant but barely concealed expressions, Baili Jun Yi’s heart flashed a trace of solemn killing intent: these officials claimed to have respect for Father Emperor, and when Father Emperor was on the throne, they expressed their loyalty more than anyone else in Chicheng, but now they are just letting them kneel down to copy some scriptures as if they are going to take their lives, which can be seen how hypocritical their heart nature is.
Seeing that the officials all began to copy, Baili Junyi suppressed the mockery in his eyes and returned directly to the inner hall, “Ye Yi?”
“Master.”
“Have someone keep an eye on the Chengqian Palace, don’t let anyone ventilate outside, and in addition, send someone to immediately send a message to Jiangnan to tell Ninghua that everything is going well, and in addition, have Ninghua be more careful.”
Ye Yi spoke with some hesitation, “Master, shouldn’t we send someone to fetch the princess over?”
Baili Junyi shook his head, “We can’t be in a hurry yet, although Baili Jin Yi has been captive, the forces under him have not been cleaned up, Ning Hua should be fine in Su City, she has mobility problems right now, it’s only risky to let her come all the way to the capital.”
“Yes, my lord is well thought out.”
“The situation has been settled on the Kyoto side, withdraw some of our manpower back, protect Ninghua well, and make sure no one hurts her and the children.”
“Yes, don’t worry master, my subordinate will go and make arrangements.”
On the following day, Baili Junyi directly proclaimed himself emperor after organizing a simple enthronement ceremony, the first thing he did on his enthronement was to use the insincerity of scripture copying as the reason to send a large group of officials to the heavenly prison, and then immediately ordered the grain merchants to stabilize the price of grain. The first batch of grain merchants who heeded the call of the court received a plaque from him in his own handwriting, and this one measure made the chaotic Kyoto violently stabilized for the most part.
What the people wanted was nothing more than food, clothing and warmth, and if they weren’t forced to a certain extent, they didn’t care who became emperor. Baili Junyi’s behavior after ascending to the throne was so different from Baili Jin Yi that he immediately gathered a large number of people’s hearts and made them grateful to him.
Inside the Spring Orchid Hall, Noble Consort Qi, no, now it should become Too Noble Consort Qi, looking at the shivering Bu Yong Han who was lying on the ground at her feet, her eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if she was looking at a dispensable object in general.
“Crazy? Have you had the doctor look at it?”
The palace maid on the side respectfully reported back, “Reporting back to Tai Guifei, has let the eunuchs look at it, and the eunuchs said that most of it is crazy.”
Tai Consort Qi’s brow moved gently, “Most of it is crazy? Then there’s still a small chance that the other half is faking it?”
Bu Yong Han, who was lying on the ground, looked at the palace maid who was close to her with eyes full of horror, her mouth constantly ah ah ah screaming, her complexion was no different from that of a maniac.
Tai Consort Qi waved her hand, “Take her down and keep her locked up, now that the new emperor has ascended to the throne, all things are in chaos, it would not be good if she is released to hurt someone.”
Waiting for the Sister to detain Bu Yong Han to stay down, Tai Consort Qi signaled the courtesan who had chimed in to take two steps forward, “The Imperial Physician said that she’s mostly crazy, and in order to prevent the possibility of that small half, you go and find the Imperial Physician to dispense some medicine for her to use.”
The palace maid hurriedly promised, “Yes, the slave girl will go now.” In order to prevent that small half of the possibility …… is to ask the imperial physician for medicine to poison her completely crazy.
Baili Jinze walked in, “Greetings, Mother Consort.”
“You’re here.” Tai Consort Qi looked at the son in front of her, a deep disappointment crossed her eyes, in the end, he gave up even the last chance to fight for Shen Ninghua, and now that Baili Junyi has already ascended to the throne, it’s too late to say anything.
“How is Mother Consort’s health these days?”
“It’s more or less the same as usual, the new emperor is a generous one, and he’s nice to the Palace, at least he didn’t take all the power away. Why are you asking this?”
Baili Jinze slammed down on his knees as soon as he lifted his robe, “My son wants to ask for an order to go to the northwest.”
Tai Consort Qi’s fingers on the handle of the chair clenched violently, “What did you say? Say it again!”
“My son wants to ask for an order to go to the northwest to guard the border.”
“Guard the borders? You are unwilling to see Shen Ninghua being crowned and sealed! Jinchuan, do you still have a little bit of mother consort in your heart? This palace is your mother, and is still waiting for you to take this palace out to honor and raise it, and now you’re telling me that you’re going to guard the borders, have you ever considered how I, as a mother, would feel?”
Baili Jinze bent down and kowtowed, “My son is unfilial.”
Thinking of her daughter Baili Anning, whose whereabouts are now unknown, and then looking at the son in front of her, Tai-Gui-Consort Qi only felt pain in her heart, “In the beginning, mother consort was incapable of protecting your sister, so that she is now unwilling to go back to Kyoto to see this palace, this palace has lost a daughter, and cannot lose a son again. You are not a threat to the new emperor now, he is not going to do anything to you, even if you are wasting your life as an idle prince in Kyoto, this palace will not allow you to go to the Northwest to fight for your life!”
Baili Jinze raised his head, the pain in the bottom of his eyes was unreservedly displayed, which was full of a sore and bruised, “Mother consort, the son of the court …… ”
Qi Tai Guifei violently inclined her head, not to look at his complexion: “Do not say it again, this palace will not agree, Bu Yong Han is crazy, after a period of time I will send her to your mansion, at that time, you find a good trustworthy person, will keep an eye on her, as long as you are in Kyoto, whatever you want to do can be done, the rest of this palace does not care.”
“Yes ……”
The news traveled to Jiangnan with the fastest speed possible, but by the time it reached Su City, it had taken about ten days.
In the garden, the oldest and Xiaobao are left and right carefully protect Shen Ningshua walk, in fact, they are only a little high, said to protect, in fact, on both sides like two small birds generally open arms move horizontally, can not play any protective role. Just look at their serious look, Shen Ninghua can not open the mouth to refuse.
The White Joint Forces and Hongling brought over the meal one after the other, “Miss, it’s time to eat.”
Shen Ninghua has not had a big appetite in the past few days, what she eats is to use a little and then stop the chopsticks, and then forcefully eat will even vomit out the previous, Hongling and others see in the eyes of the pain in the heart, but unfortunately there is no good way to do it, can only carry the two little masters over to distract the young lady’s attention, so that she can eat a couple of bites more.
“Mother, it’s time to eat.”
Xiaobao pulled Shen Ninghua’s hand, stood on her tiptoes to let Hongling carry her to the stool, and seriously surveyed the meal, “Mother, look, they’re all the dishes you like to eat, you have to eat more oh.”
Looking at her small adult appearance, Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Yes, there are also things that Xiaobao and the eldest like to eat, so you guys need to eat more as well.”
As he was saying this, Green Sparrow came running in violently, “Miss, His Highness has come with a letter.”
Shen Ninghua froze, then a trace of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, “Quickly bring it over.” She took the letter, her hands were shaking as she opened the envelope, it was hard to open it, and after reading two lines, tears fell from her eyes.
Hong Ling and the others at the side gave a start and rushed forward, “Miss, are you alright?” Could it be that His Highness has gone out of his way?
Shen Ninghua shook her head, a big smile on her face, “Jun Yi has succeeded, and now that he has ascended the throne as Emperor, the dust has settled!”
“Great, haha, great.”
“Congratulations Miss, you can rest easy.”
Shen Ninghua carefully read the contents of the letter over and over again a few times, and finally let go of her heart, “In this way, I am also relieved.” A big stone in her heart was finally put down, she couldn’t help but use more than half a bowl for this meal, and the eyes of the happy Hongling and the others glowed.
After resting for a while after the meal, Shen Ninghua called Bizhu over and asked her about the status of the herbs and food.
Bi Zhu: “Miss, the medicinal herbs have been purchased according to the list you made, it’s the grain that’s a bit difficult, now although the price of grain has been lowered a bit, it’s still a lot higher than normal, and a lot of grain merchants aren’t willing to make a bid.”
“You reveal a bit of news out, say that the new emperor has ascended to the throne and has ordered that the price of grain be restricted in Kyoto, and that it will soon affect Jiangnan, and then lower the price by a layer, and in a few days they will be willing to make a bid.”
The catastrophe was coming, she could only think of ways to save as many people as possible, it was now in the stage of saving for a rainy day, even if it would harm the interests of some merchants, she couldn’t care less.
