On August 13, the emperor officially issued an imperial edict to make Han Lingfan, the fifth son of the emperor, the crown prince.
Some of the previous procedures for establishing the crown prince had been completed in the first two years. Now only the imperial temple and the final canonization ceremony are left.
On August 14, after the early Dynasty, the Minister of rites and the imperial eunuch came to the imperial study to see the emperor. The imperial warden selected three auspicious days, and the emperor chose the day to sue the temple.
In the imperial library, there was silence after the folding was handed over.
The emperor looked at the three dates written on the fold with a heavy face. He never said a word. He wrote with his right hand for a while, then put it down again, and then wrote again
The emperor did not speak, the Minister of rites and the imperial warden did not dare to make a voice, so the monarch and his subjects were speechless.
As time went by, the silence made the air heavier and heavier. The Minister of rites and the imperial warden exchanged eyes in secret, and they were in a panic.
At this time, a rush of footsteps came from outside the imperial study. After a while, a small servant came in in in a hurry and said anxiously, "the emperor, Jingzhou has come to report that the prince of Zhennan led 3000 cavalry northward, and has passed Jiangkou City, and is coming all the way to the Wangdu..."
After hearing the speech, the emperor's face changed greatly. The right hand holding the imperial pen shook, and the ink on the tip of the pen dropped down, just on the fold on the imperial case. A drop of ink about the size of a finger was on the beibai paper, which was dazzling black!
The emperor raised his head, frowned, and blurted out: "what does Zhennan Wang want to do? He wants to use 3000 people to demonstrate to me, can't he?"?! Bold and rebellious! It seems that they are indeed going to rebel against the southern palace of the town! "
The more the emperor said, the more angry the fire rose.
The Minister of rites and the imperial warden did not dare to accept the emperor's words. They both looked down at the tip of their shoes and were silent.
"Pa!"
The emperor angrily threw down the imperial pen and ordered in a high voice: "I will call for the cabinet to meet you soon."
"Yes, Emperor."
The little Chamberlain answered in a hurry, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, leaving the room full of silence and anger
More than half an hour later, several cabinet ministers rushed to the imperial study.
During this period of waiting, the emperor's anger did not subside, but rose in layers. As soon as the ministers saluted, the emperor couldn't wait to say to the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Chen Yuanzhou, send me troops to encircle and capture Xiao Yi alive!"
The angry emperor gnawed his teeth, and his eyes were red.
Several cabinet ministers sighed in silence.
The spread of embarrassing silence is itself a silent objection.
Looking at several cabinet ministers, he did not dare to look at him. The emperor seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water, and his heart was extinguished instantly. He took a few deep breaths and gradually began to cool down.
"No way!" The emperor changed his way thoughtfully. He slowly turned the jade ring in his hand, and his thoughts turned quickly.
Since the king of Zhennan was able to defeat the Three Kingdoms of Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye, he was not a fool. He sent Xiao Yi to the north, but let him only take a small number of 3000 people. It must be a backward move.
As we all know, the king of Zhennan didn't like Xiao Yi, the eldest son, so he kept Xiao Yi as a pledge for many years After the southern Xinjiang army defeated Baiyue, Xiao Yi brought kuilang back to Wangdu to offer capture, which proved this point.
The emperor murmured thoughtfully: "Zhennan king is waiting for me to send troops..."
If he really sent troops, he would be in the arms of the king of Zhongzhen south. Then, in the name of revenge for his son, the king of Zhennan could lead his army to northern expedition with the slogan of "eliminating the crooks and sycophants and clearing the side of the king".
As long as the teacher is famous, Zhennan Wang will not be afraid of bad reputation, nor will he be afraid of leaving a bad reputation in the future!
Throughout history, such things can be found everywhere.
At this time, the monarch and his subjects in the imperial study all want to go to a place, and their faces are showing their condensation color.
The more cautious they were at this time, they should never give Zhennan King any opportunity or excuse to start his troops.
With expectant eyes, the emperor once again looked at Cheng Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Dongyang implicitly proposed: "emperor, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. The king's son of Zhennan has come from afar. Dayu is a land of etiquette, so we should send someone to meet him..."
"Meet each other" is an obvious excuse. The real purpose is to contact and test Xiao Yi's intention to come to Wangdu.
The emperor squinted and thought for a moment, and then he was right.
Now, we have to take a step first and look at it!
On that day, xuanpingbo was ordered by the emperor to leave the capital and head south
However, the emperor's heart could not be put down, and even as time went by, the heart was raised higher and higher, and even for a few days he was tossing and turning.
After waiting for seven or eight days, Xuan Pingbo returned to the Wangdu on August 20. He rode fast and traveled day and night. Naturally, he was emaciated and haggard, but the emperor was even more tired than he was.
After bowing to the emperor, Xuan Pingbo said in a respectful voice: "emperor, I met Xiao Shizi and the Marquis of ease in Huawei city..."Easy Hou?! The emperor was stunned. Before he could react, Xuan Pingbo continued: "they both said that they were here to welcome the general and the whole family of officials..."
Speaking of later, Xuan Pingbo's voice was somewhat stiff.
In addition to the official language white, the official language White came to meet the coffin of relatives.
On hearing this, the emperor was stupefied.
Xuanpingbo's answer was completely beyond the emperor's expectation. Instead of a sigh of relief, the emperor's heart sank.
It turns out that Xiao Yi and the official language white together, it turns out that they have long been a nest of snakes and mice!
Thinking about it, the blue veins on the emperor's forehead beat a few times.
Three years ago, the official language Bai Fengzhi went south. At first, news came to Wangdu from time to time. Gradually, there was no more news
In just a few years, Zhennan Wangfu even killed Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye, but the official language Bai did not have a word to pass back to the capital. How could the emperor not doubt the official language Bai!
In the end, there are two possibilities: either the official language White was killed by Zhennan king, or the official language White was bought by Zhennan king and betrayed the court!
Now, it must be the latter!
Good, you official!
The emperor's eyes burst out a sharp cold light.
He admitted that he was not weak in his official language. He not only cleaned up the grievances of the officials, but also made him a second-class Lord of ease for three generations. However, he didn't expect that he was ungrateful and was easily bribed by Zhennan king!
Such an unfaithful and disloyal person has been produced by the government!
It seems that Guan yubai has been holding a grudge over the past few years for officials like flame and the whole family of officials. Once he finds an opportunity, he will immediately plot against him
The emperor narrowed his eyes, and his anger burned even more.
Even if he wronged the officials in those years, so what?!
Didn't he rehabilitate their officials?
Didn't he try his best to make it up?
There is a saying: Thunder, rain and dew are the grace of the king. The emperor is ordered by the heaven, and the minister is ordered by the king. As an official, he should be grateful and abide by the way of the minister.
But the official language white this rebellious minister also dares to remember and hate Tianjia, but also dare to collude with Zhennan palace and betray the imperial court!
It's a waste of money. He trusts the official language and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility!
The emperor almost broke the jade ring in his hand, and his anger swelled in his chest, and a wry sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In this way, he didn't wronged the officials at that time!
In the end, even if the officials didn't have the heart of treason for the time being, what about the future?!
Once they have a different heart, will they be dissatisfied with the court?
For example, the current official language white, such as the present Zhennan Wangfu
"Somebody The emperor took a deep breath and decided to order, "call on the cabinet to meet with you..."
At the emperor's command, a number of cabinet ministers gathered in the imperial library as quickly as possible.
At the emperor's direction, Xuan Pingbo roughly explained what he had seen and heard about his trip to the south. Then the emperor quietly threw the question to several cabinet ministers: "what should we do now?"
The emperor's voice sounded calm, but in fact, his pent up anger was about to erupt like a volcano.
Several cabinet ministers, as close ministers of the emperor, all knew this well.
After all the ministers gathered around and deliberated for a while, Cheng Dongyang came forward and said, "the emperor, according to the officials' opinions, the comfortable Marquis and Xiao Shizi's thousands of miles to the king's capital are just to bring back the bones of officials like flame. It's a trivial matter that will not hinder Dayu. What's the matter even if they succeed?" After a pause, Cheng Dongyang pondered over his words and said, "the emperor, be cautious. You can't give Zhennan King any excuse for northern expedition!"
The other ministers bowed down to show their agreement.
In the imperial study, he was quiet. The emperor looked at the cabinet ministers standing in front of him. His face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink.
He is the king of a country, but he is forced to this extent by several ministers. What's the meaning of his emperor?!
The emperor felt as if there were countless wild animals roaring, howling and struggling in his heart. His body could not help shaking
However, even if the emperor is reluctant to do so, the situation is stronger than the people, and he has to make a choice and compromise.
There is a long way to go. Since he is the son of Dayu, he must attach great importance to Dayu!
The air in the imperial study was so dreary that people could hardly breathe. It was also the same outside. The summer of Wangdu was hot and stuffy, and the thunderstorm continued, which cast a cloud over the hearts of the court.
In this oppressive atmosphere, a few days passed in the blink of an eye. On August 28, Xiao Yi and Guan yubai arrived at the outskirts of Wangdu with 3000 Youqi camp.
The emperor immediately sent Han Lingfan and Han lingfu out of the city, and the two princes led hundreds of Royal troops to greet them in person outside the city.
At this time, the red sun has set half, the sky is still open, near the evening, the weather in the countryside is warm like spring, breeze is slow.Soon, I heard the rumbling sound of horse's hooves coming from far away, such as thunder and drums, shaking the heaven and earth.
The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and nearer, and the earth beneath them seemed to tremble.
A hundred feet ahead, a group of black armored Knights galloped towards this side. In front of them were two beautiful young men, one in red and one in white; the other was conspicuous and the other was warm, just like the sun and the moon, which could not help but attract everyone's attention.
Han Lingfan and Han lingfu naturally recognized them at a glance -
Xiao Yi and Guan yubai!
Han Lingfan looked at the two men in a daze.
He still clearly remembered that more than four years ago, when the southern Xinjiang defeated Baiyue, Xiao Yi, the son of the prince of Zhennan, was ordered to take kuilang back to Wangdu to offer capture. At that time, he personally came out of the city to welcome Xiao Yi into the city.
At that time, the monarch and his ministers were determined to celebrate the whole world. How could he expect that in a few years, Dayu and southern Xinjiang would go to the opposite situation today!
And the official language
Guan yubai, who was once an invincible Garrison for Dayu in western Xinjiang, could have become two famous swords guarding Dayu's frontier, but now
Ah -
a faint sigh sounded in Han Lingfan's heart, including disappointment or regret, which only he knew
"Step on step..."
In the deafening sound of horse's hooves, Xiao Yi and the official language Bai come closer and closer. Their descriptions clearly reflect the vision of Han Lingfan and Han lingfu.
Han lingfu's eyes are burning at Xiao Yi, staring at his black hair flying with the wind, staring at him in red, fresh clothes and angry horses.
Xiao Yi is still the same, as he was when he was in Wangdu!
However, just a dandy, now he wants him to welcome him personally!
Thought of here, Han Ling Fu can not help but a mood ups and downs, the surface is not obvious, mouth with a smile, gentle eyes.
With the sound of "Xu", Xiao Yi and Guan yubai stopped their horses' hooves about ten feet away, but the dust around them was still like a fog, jumping
Xiao Yi's black clouds on the snow beat their noses and hooves. It seems that they have not yet enjoyed themselves.
"Who's blocking the way of my son here?" Xiao Yi asked casually.
Han Ling Fu, with a horse's belly, drove the white horse under his crotch to move forward a few steps. Facing Xiao Yi and the official language Bai Lang in front of him, he said in a voice: "Xiao Shizi, an easy marquis. The father and the emperor have heard that they are coming from thousands of miles. They specially ordered the king and the younger brother of the five emperors to meet here."
Han Lingfan also drove his horse forward, standing side by side with Han lingfu, and said, "Xiao Shizi, an easy Hou, I haven't seen you for several years. I'm fine!"
Xiao Yi's eyes flit across Han lingfu's body and fall on Han Lingfan's body with a slight hook on his mouth.
"Five Emperors No, it's time to call him king Xiao Yi casually arched his hand at Han Lingfan, saying that he had said hello. He behaved casually and did not mean to dismount.
Official language white also, just a faint smile: "king of the county is not hurt."
Seeing these two people clearly ignored themselves, Han lingfu's eyes sank, subconsciously clenched the horse rope in his hand, and said in his heart: how could this be true! A son of a vassal, a second grade Marquis, when he saw his own Grand Prince and Prince, he was so slighted and even ignored himself! It's so rampant!
It's really a villain who gets his way! Han Ling Fu hate in the heart of the road.
Although Han lingfu would like to leave his sleeve, he still has some sense. If he leaves at this time, the credit for this job will belong to the younger brother of the five emperors. Maybe it will cause his father's displeasure
Han lingfu clenched his teeth in secret and calmed down a little. He said to Han Lingfan: "younger brother of the five emperors, Xiao Shizi and the Marquis have come from afar. It must be a long journey. There is still time to reminisce about the past."
Said, he looked at Xiao Yi and the official language white, "or by this king and five emperor younger brother take Xiao Shizi and marquis to the post station to settle down and have a rest."
Han lingfu's mouth with a gentle smile, it seems elegant, like a considerate host.
Naturally, he had his own worries.
Xiao Yi and Guan yubai brought 3000 soldiers and horses on this trip. It's not difficult for Dayu to win these three thousand troops in one fell swoop. The difficult thing is that we can't let Zhennan Wangfu seize the opportunity to make trouble, but we can't let Xiao Yi do what he wants. Once these three thousand people enter the capital, the variables will be too big!
Xiao Yi glanced at Han Ling Fu with a smile. How could he not see the other party's mind.
He raised his eyebrow and shook his hand at will and said with a smile, "it's still early. Don't worry! The emperor is really interested. He is still thinking about my son. He sends two princes to welcome him. It is said that he and the emperor have not seen each other for several years... " He shook his head with regret and said, "it's a pity that the Emperor didn't come today."
With Xiao Yi's few words, Han lingfu's face had changed several times. When he uttered his last sentence, hundreds of imperial guards in the rear could not help but take a breath of cold air.
What is the meaning of Xiao Yi's words?!
Do you want to use this topic to bring these 3000 people to visit their father and Emperor?Or do you want my father to come out of the city to meet him?!
This is too crazy!
Han Ling Fu frowned and surmised.
Han lingfu took a deep breath and was about to say something more. However, Xiao Yi looked up at the sky and said casually: "it looks like it's going to rain this day, so please take us to the post station by Jingjun king."
At this time, the sun is still half dark, it is not dark
Han lingfu's mouth is a little stiff. I really don't know what kind of tricks Xiao Yi is playing. But since the other party is willing to cooperate with him to go to the post station, it would be better!
"Xiao Shizi, marquis, please."
After Han Lingfan made a gesture of invitation, the party moved and went eastward. All the way, they came to a post station five miles away.
The people of the post station had already got the news, packed up their rooms and met them at the gate of the post station.
With the arrival of these 3000 people, the soldiers of Youqi camp skillfully camped and settled on a flat land near the post station. As for Xiao Yi and Guan yubai, they were welcomed into the post station by Yi Cheng.
Han Lingfan and Han lingfu are relieved.
The business trip was unexpectedly smooth!
They are only worried that the official language white will want to return to the comfortable Marquis of the Wangdu, after all, it is the old residence of the official family. I didn't expect that the official said nothing about it
After the two brothers exchanged a look, they took the hundreds of royal guards and rode away, and went back to the king to report to the emperor.
The sound of the horse's hooves goes from near to far
In a tianzihao room in the post station, two pairs of black eyes were watching the Imperial Army leaving in a window, and the owner of the eyes drank the hot tea leisurely.
Xiao Yi takes back his sight and winks at the official Yu Bai with a smile. "Xiaobai, I'm afraid the emperor can't sleep again tonight."
The official language white slowly drinks the tea, in the tea curling up in the white gas, his eyes appear deep and unpredictable, light way: "in the heart of ghosts, will be suspicious."
With that, Guan yubai looks out of the window. That's where Han Lingfan and others are leaving. That's the direction of Wangdu. The old house of the government is there
He knew what the emperor was afraid of, but the emperor did not know that he had no nostalgia for Wangdu and the so-called old house.
Now people are gone. What's good to go to an old house they haven't lived in for a few years!
As early as three years ago, when he left for Southern Xinjiang, he had already taken all the things that should be taken away from his house.
Now all he had to do was bring his father's bones to his mother's reunion
The setting sun sets down little by little, leaving only a touch of red in the western sky, reflecting the white eyes of the official language red, as if it was blood, but also like a cluster of flames burning life.
Xiao Yishun looked at the direction of the setting sun, and suddenly stroked his hand and said, "Xiaobai, that's good." Xiao Yi complacent ground smile, "also no wonder I always sleep well!"
His intention was to boast that he had a clear conscience in his life.
Smell speech, small four speechless ground canthus twitch, but the official language white is to smile, pupil has vitality again, the breath of the whole body is also downy many.
Well said.
Life in the world, a clear conscience is!
As for how the emperor thought, how the courtiers thought, how the people in the world think, they are not concerned!
They only need to guard their side "southern region"!
The two looked at each other with a smile, and both looked at the south.
I don't know how long after that, the voice of Guan Yu Bai suddenly rings in Xiao Yi's ear: "a Yi, soon we can go home!"
When he collects the bones for their father, they can go home!
Xiao Yi answered with a smile.
Yes, southern Xinjiang is their home!
