Pei ordered people to set up a small Buddha Hall in Chunhe hall.
Since the emperor's stroke, she has been in a state of restlessness and can only pray for God's blessing.
Every morning and evening, she would burn incense and pray in the Little Buddha Hall to pray for the Buddha's blessing that King Ning could return safely.
It's been more than half a month. The news of the capital should have been sent to King Ning.
Oh!
King Ning is too far away from Beijing.
It will take more than half a month for news to be sent quickly.
I'm afraid it will take a month to go back to Beijing.
People are not horses after all.
Even a horse can't run twelve hours a day.
After reading a Buddhist sutra, with the help of the maid, Pei stood up from the Pu Tuan.
She asked the servant girl, "have the eldest and fourth childe come back?"
"My mother, the fourth young master has just returned to the mansion, and the eldest one will not come back until dark."
"Please bring the fourth young master here. I want to ask him something."
"Yes, my servant."
Pei left the Buddhist temple and returned to the flower hall. I've washed away the smell of incense.
Liu Yi said to her, "please say hello to my mother.". How are you these days? "
Pei Shi motioned him to sit down and speak, "your father will not return to Beijing for a day, but my princess will not be able to do so. In these days, I'm worried about your father's misfortune. "
"My mother will be relieved. The eldest brother has sent someone to protect the safety of his father, and the father has always been gracious to him. There will be no accident. "
"Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Ants often bite to death elephants. Don't be careless. By the way, when did your elder brother send them? "
Liu Yi shakes his head. "This son is not clear. You have to ask the elder brother. My mother and concubine also know that elder brother never told me these things. My father and elder brother also kept secret from me about some of the arrangements made by our royal family in private and refused to let me know. "
Pei said: "that's because you were young in the past, no matter what, and you liked to go out drinking and fooling around. I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid your mouth is not tight and you're drunk
Liu Yi bowed his head and laughed, "now that my son has changed his ways, my father and elder brother should give me a chance."
"When your father comes back, you are good, and I will talk to your father."
"Thank you very much
"It's up to you, too."
Pei finished and sighed.
"Why do you sigh again? The son has said that there is no need to worry about the father. My father will live a long life and return to Beijing safely. "
Pei frowned. "I hope so."
"Do you think about the future? In case my father... "
"Don't think about it." Pei Shi decisively interrupted Liu Yi's words, "Yi Er, listen to the mother's words, don't think about anything. It's not good for you to think too much. Only when nothing will change can we keep our normal mind. "
Liu was stunned at first, and then he laughed. "The mother's wife said right. The son had to think nothing about it."
Pei's happy smile, "this is right."
"My mother must have felt deeply."
Pei Shi sighed, "at that time, so many people had the opportunity to become Dabao. As a result, those people were all defeated, defeated in your grandfather's hands. What do you say? It's because they think too much and refuse to be down-to-earth. "
"If you think about it, my mother will tell me something about it."
Pei Shi shook his head, "this princess does not know much. If you have a chance, you can go to Lantai temple. If some of the materials were not destroyed, it must have been in Lantai temple. "
Really?
Liu Yi immediately gave birth to infinite curiosity in Lantai temple.
Although Lantai temple is a yamen that can't be ignored any more, being a servant in Lantai temple is tantamount to being put into the cold palace and breaking the dream of promotion and wealth all one's life.
"Thank you for telling me that my son will go to Lantai Temple if you have a chance."
Pei nodded, "it's no harm to look at the experience and lessons of our predecessors."
Liu Yi, with a gentle smile, is innocent.
……
Every day goes by, there will be an undercurrent in the peaceful capital.
The eight immortals cross the sea and show their magic powers. Everyone is racing against the clock, seizing the time to arrange.
Liu Zhao suddenly disappeared.
Ask yamen, yamen say tolerance.
No one in Yamen knows exactly where to go.
If you ask the prince's mansion, you will never know.
Pei is very worried, people are thin.
She called Gu Jiu to CHUNHETANG to ask questions.
"Where has zhao'er gone? Why didn't he say hello to this princess when he went out. The situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense. When he goes out at this time, what can he do in case of an accident in the palace? "
Gu Jiu hung his head and said, "tell the mother and concubine that the young master only said one time before he went out, and didn't say any extra words. His daughter-in-law asked him, and he only asked me not to ask more. "
Pei's anger did not hit a place, "you are his daughter-in-law, he went out where you do not know. How do you become a wife? "Gu Jiu bowed his head and laughed, "my father often goes out for three or five days and doesn't come back. The mother and princess also don't know where he is. But the father and his wife get along very well, and the father doesn't say that the mother and princess are not doing well. "
"You are presumptuous! Who are you talking to? Is there superiority or inferiority? " Pei patted the table and denounced Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiuyou sighed, "my daughter-in-law knows her mistake. Please forgive her. The daughter-in-law is also kind to remind the mother and concubine that some things are not really what we want to do. When men do things outside, we should not interfere. Mother and concubine, your daughter-in-law is right
Pei's anger turned upside down, "you are more and more presumptuous now. Do you really think that if you have an imperial edict to support you, I dare not use the family law? "
Gu Jiu bowed his head and said with a smile, "my mother's concubine will not be angry. Before using the family law, the mother and concubine should first think about when it is now. We can't mess around in Prince Ning's house. "
"Then be honest. You can answer whatever Princess Ben asks you."
"My daughter-in-law has said everything she knows. My mother also told me, "I can't make it up and make something out of nothing."
Gu Jiu is also very aggrieved.
Pei's impatient, if not the right time, she really want to clean up Gu Jiu.
"Did the imperial edict say how long he would return to Beijing before he went out?"
Pei's return to the subject.
Gu Jiu shakes his head, "did not say. It is estimated that this trip will take half a month at least, and a month or two more. "
"So long?" Pei's face changed.
"At this time, when you go out for such a long time, what should I do if something happens to the palace?"
Gu Jiu gives her an idea, "the mother imperial concubine might as well enter the palace and ask for instructions from lady Shufei."
Pei's worried, "my princess will come into the palace to see her off. Ask you what, you all ask three do not know, want you what use. You get out of my way. "
Gu Jiu and Pei's insight, who let Ning Wang has not returned to Beijing, Pei's temper is also understandable.
She bowed down and left CHUNHETANG.
Before Liu Zhao left Beijing, he did not tell Gu Jiu where he was going.
Gu Jiu speculated that Liu Zhao might be going to take over the king of Ning.
The king of Ning might have met with ambush and danger. He was caught up in something on his way and could not return to Beijing in time.
In short, everything is possible.
Now everyone's blocking the news.
Whoever can get the first chance will win half.
Gu Jiu has self-knowledge. She knows what she is good at and where her short board is.
She didn't give Liu Zhao any trouble, so she didn't ask him where he was.
Even Qian Fu, she did not ask too much.
However, she has given two large sums of money to the rich to do turnover.
Gu Jiu is always cheerful when he gives money.
She gave the money to Qian Fu and said, "the young master trusts you, so my wife also trusts you. I hope the money can be spent on the blade. "
"Don't worry, madam. The money must be spent on the blade."
Gu Jiu said, "if you are too tired to stay with me, you may as well go to work for me. I'm easy to live here and earn a lot of money. "
"Thank you very much, madam. I'm used to being a servant around the young master. I'm afraid I can't adapt to changing places."
"Well, I won't force you."
Although not forced, but will not give up.
Such high-end talents as Qian Fu are hard to find. Gu Jiu will not give up easily.
In the past, autumn came.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense.
As soon as the weather was cold, the emperor's illness was aggravated and he was bedridden every day.
In the past, we were able to deal with some government affairs and criticize memorials.
Now I can't do it. I don't have enough strength.
After all, the emperor is old, and his health is not good. His vitality is passing by. Every organ of the body is also irreversible failure.
Life, old age, death, everything is doomed.
The emperor was lying in bed, breathing lightly.
When he woke up, he waved, and Chen Dachang bowed over and stood beside the bed, "Your Majesty, you are awake."
The emperor nodded and said vaguely, "help me up."
Several chamberlains together helped the emperor up and sat down on the bed.
The emperor gasped for breath. First, he asked the imperial physician to check his body, and then he drank the medicine.
After drinking the medicine and feeling better, he asked, "are the princes back?"
"Not yet."
"How long has it been? Why haven't you come back?"
"It's a long way to go. It takes time for the decrees to be delivered to your highness, and it takes time for your highness to pack up and leave for Beijing."
The emperor frowned.
"I will urge them to return to Beijing. I'm afraid I don't have much time. "
"Your majesty!" Chen Dachang was shocked.
"The emperor waved his hand," so far, I can see through. "Chen Dachang bowed down and was about to withdraw. When he was about to leave, he turned back and said, "today, the courtiers are discussing the issue of establishing the crown prince again. Please let your majesty know what to do. "
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "the crown prince has to wait."
As for what to wait for, maybe only the emperor knows.
Chen Dachang bowed and said, "I understand."
After a pause, he said, "Mr. Gu, the Minister of the household department, was found to be greedy for ink. Now he has been dismissed and investigated."
Emperor Leng for a while, just return to God, "Gu Jiu's father?"
"Exactly."
"When did it happen?"
"It is the decree issued by several senior officials of the political affairs hall early this morning."
The emperor frowned tightly, "at this time, they still have the leisure to check a servant of the Ministry of household. What kind of heart is Ann?"
"Your Majesty. The evidence of what Mr. Gu committed is conclusive. It can't be concealed. Several adults in the political affairs hall had no choice but to dismiss Mr. Gu from his post and investigate. It is up to your majesty to decide how to judge and how to judge. "
"The emperor snorted coldly," I told him that Gu Zhili would be taken into custody in Dali temple, and the case would be thoroughly investigated by Dali temple. "
Chen Dachang was surprised for a moment, then bowed down to accept orders, quit the palace to convey the emperor's instructions.
……
The palace.
"Madame, it's a bad thing."
Xu Yousi ran back to the east yard.
It was winter, but he was sweating.
"What's the matter? Take your breath and speak slowly Gu Jiu is calm.
Xu Yousi gasped and said, "something happened to Mr. Gu."
Gu Jiu's face changed, "what happened to the master?"
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Yousi went on to say, "master was taken into custody by Dali temple. It is said that the master was greedy for money, and several adults in the political affairs hall ordered him to be dismissed and investigated. "
Gu Jiuwen speech, immediately frown.
Mr. Gu is greedy for ink. She is not surprised.
Mr. Gu is not a clean official. He is not a clean official.
There is a lot of money in the ink. This is questionable. It depends on the standard of large sums of money.
What makes Gu Jiu feel uneasy is that it is too timely.
What time is it.
Everyone is staring at the palace, all staring at the princes who are going to drive to the capital, and who the emperor will appoint as the prince.
At this time, the corruption of Mr. Gu's ink suddenly broke out. The political affairs hall also ordered the dismissal of Lord Gu very efficiently, and the Dali Temple immediately took Mr. Gu into custody.
Such efficiency is not logical.
According to the law, no matter what kind of cases there are, this is the time to push or delay. It's not too late to wait until the crown prince is established.
As a result, everyone didn't care about the palace. They were all staring at a little elder Gu.
Gu Jiu takes a deep breath.
I'm afraid Mr. Gu has become cannon fodder.
