Chapter 704 I Have Arrived
The formal dragon robe was taken off.
Wei Zhonghe selected a set of black casual clothes and presented it.
The emperor wouldn't wear a dragon robe all day long in the palace. The more symbolic a dress is, the heavier its symbolic meaning is, and the more uncomfortable it is to wear.
The same goes for the court attire of the officials.
Therefore, after the court session, the Yan Emperor would change into casual clothes, but even these casual clothes were particular.
Which one, which set, had rules. Even sometimes, during certain seasons, the emperor had to wear certain clothes to pray for good weather.
The patterns and accessories under each piece of clothing had different meanings.
After all, the emperor also had another title, the Son of Heaven, the son of Heaven, ruling the people on behalf of Heaven, that is, a god.
"Change it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhonghe changed another set.
The Yan Emperor glanced at the newly presented clothes, shook his head, and said:
"White robe."
Wei Zhonghe was stunned. The Son of Heaven hadn't worn white clothes for a long time.
Once upon a time, when the Yan Emperor was still a prince, he liked white.
Everyone has a young age, everyone has an unruly time,
White clothes fluttering, a paper fan in hand, a pendant gently swaying,
Small bridge, flowing water, peach blossoms,
Gentle breeze, drizzle, fragrant grass,
White clouds, setting sun, green willows.
The Yan people weren't ignorant of elegance. The emperor of Great Yan had once been so elegant when he was young.
Miss Tian's heart was touched by the rogue who climbed over the wall,
Miss Min had personally selected her husband before marrying in.
Without a good appearance,
Without a good temperament,
Purely relying on the power, status, and position, that was also impossible. After all, Miss Tian didn't lack power, and Miss Min didn't lack wealth.
Wei Zhonghe remembered that,
Since His Majesty entered the East Palace and became the Crown Prince, he no longer wore white clothes. Even other floating colors, His Majesty was unwilling to touch again.
After ascending the throne,
In addition to the black dragon robe,
His Majesty's other clothes were all mainly black.
Great Yan valued black;
Black represented solemnity, represented a kind of solemnity;
But today,
The emperor wanted to wear a white robe.
The Yan Emperor supported himself up with both hands,
Wei Zhonghe and the two palace maids beside him helped the Yan Emperor put on the clothes together.
Wei Zhonghe himself carefully hung up the accessories, and finally, gently rubbed the tassels to straighten them.
Each set of clothes corresponded to different accessories.
In the tray held by the little eunuch, there was still a fan.
Wei Zhonghe picked up the fan, ready to present it to His Majesty.
The Yan Emperor lowered his head, looked at the fan,
Smiling, he shook his head,
Said:
"It's not like when I was young."
He didn't take the fan.
At the entrance of the Imperial Study,
The imperial carriage was ready.
There were eight eunuchs squatting on the ground in front and behind.
This was a sedan chair, with a cover and curtains, and fur covering for warmth.
The Yan Emperor sat on it,
Wei Zhonghe waved his duster,
Said:
"Let's go."
A total of sixteen eunuchs lifted the imperial carriage.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Wei Zhonghe asked for instructions.
"Just wander around."
"..." Wei Zhonghe.
Wei Zhonghe couldn't shout like before:
His Majesty has decreed: Let's go wander around.
Therefore, Wei Zhonghe could only walk to the front himself, signaling the team behind to follow him.
At this time, Wei Zhonghe didn't dare to think too much, and didn't dare to ask too much. He had made the necessary mental preparations long ago.
That room full of corner masters had already been sealed and left to the next one, so what else couldn't he let go of?
Others waited for the clouds to clear and see the moon;
But he,
Wanted to protect this true dragon, in its final years, as a eunuch, it could be considered that his life was able to achieve completeness in another form.
The imperial carriage began to wander around the palace.
The Yan Emperor leaned against the imperial carriage,
Enjoying the afternoon sun,
Appreciating this palace.
Once, Zheng Fan, who came to Yan Jing with the Chu princess for conferment, had said to him: The princess said that the palace of Great Yan was far inferior to the palace of her Chu Kingdom.
The Yan Emperor laughed,
Laughed very happily.
Because the achievement of an emperor,
Never lies in the magnificent, nor in the high buildings of Lutai, not in the exquisite gardens, nor in the endless sea of flowers.
A qualified emperor,
In his life,
Was like a craftsman,
Repairing, only repairing that one stele!
On that stele, was carved his life, his... epic.
That stele, would be left to future generations.
People might despise it, horse hooves and wheels crushing it, or they might dismount in advance, bowing and saluting.
In the past,
The Great Chu Palace, which was ten times more prosperous than the Yan Kingdom's palace in the eyes of the Chu princess,
Heh,
Where is it now?
The Yan Emperor's thoughts today were particularly different.
And it seemed to be affected by his mood, when he looked at some corners of the palace again, he tasted a kind of flavor that was completely different from the past.
The exquisiteness of this palace, the care of this palace;
He had obviously lived here for many years, but at this moment, he suddenly felt strange again.
What followed,
Was exploration, to seek knowledge, was curiosity,
And they,
Were collectively called attachment.
Ji Runhao closed his eyes, he didn't want to continue watching, he felt it was enough;
As an emperor, he had become accustomed to restraining, even cutting off emotions and characteristics similar to being human, and after getting used to it for a long time, it became an instinct.
He raised his hand,
The imperial carriage stopped.
Wei Zhonghe, who was leading the way in front, came over immediately.
"Prepare, go to the residence of the Lady Fengxin."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
The imperial palace was the most secret and core place of a country, it hid too many secrets;
But also in this place, in fact, it was difficult to have true secrets.
After recuperating in the back garden for so long,
Not to mention the restlessness of people's hearts,
Even the vacant dragon throne was enough for all forces to start frantically infiltrating the palace.
Moreover,
The Yan Emperor sitting in the imperial carriage, wandering around the palace for a long time, too many palace maids and eunuchs saw it, and it was difficult to hide.
Moreover,
Many people knew about the Lady Fengxin's residence sending people to the palace to invite imperial physicians.
...
"Your Majesty is going to the residence of the Lady Fengxin."
Mr. Zhu stood in front of the Crown Prince and said very seriously.
"Yes, Chuanye is sick."
Mr. Zhu knelt down in front of the Crown Prince.
"What do you mean by this, sir?"
"Your Highness, when His Majesty is in the palace, all evils will not invade, but when His Majesty leaves the palace, it will be full of flaws."
The Crown Prince was silent.
At this juncture,
The Imperial Grandson getting sick was intriguing in itself, it was too coincidental.
Perhaps, in the eyes of other ministers, even if they noticed the strangeness in this matter, they would naturally think that the Sixth Prince, who had lost the situation at the Grand Court Assembly, was planning to play the emotional card of the Imperial Grandson.
Ji Chuanye, Ji Chuanye,
Passing on the lineage and continuing the cause,
Many people still remembered that on the day the Imperial Grandson was born, His Majesty personally visited the Prince's residence.
But,
The Imperial Grandson was too young.
"Your Highness, this subordinate believes that the Sixth Prince may take extraordinary actions."
The Crown Prince raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhu kneeling in front of him.
He didn't refute,
Because, in fact, the Crown Prince also had similar worries in his heart.
"Father Emperor is, after all, Father Emperor, and this is, after all, in the capital." The Crown Prince shook his head in the end, and said: "Sixth Brother can't succeed, moreover, the two princes are still in the capital."
"Your Highness, in the past few days, have the Lord of Zhenbei and the Lord of Jingnan appeared in public?
The Lord of Jingnan is fine, the Lord of Nan has always been eccentric;
But what about the Lord of Zhenbei?
Is he really so close to the First Prince that they drink and get drunk together every day?"
"Mr. Zhu, what exactly do you want to say?"
"When this subordinate was young, he was obsessed with juggling tricks. A box can conjure up many things, and it can also conjure away many things. This subordinate once wanted to learn, but the juggling master said a word to this subordinate:
The lid of the box, closes and opens;
Unless it disappears in front of your eyes, it's never real.
Now, it's the same;
For several days, the two princes haven't been seen,
This subordinate dares to guess,
Could it be that the two princes are no longer in the capital?
Your Highness,
The most important thing is,
Because of the relationship with Marquis Pingxi, the Sixth Prince may have known the answer earlier!"
The smile on the Crown Prince's face hadn't faded,
Said:
"This Prince still says the same thing, in this world, no one can scheme against Father Emperor."
"What if His Majesty deliberately wanted to be schemed against?"
"........." The Crown Prince.
"After the Grand Court Assembly ended, the officials cheered, all thinking that the day had dawned, and the foundation of the country was established, but observing it, Your Highness has been depressed and unhappy all these days.
Outsiders watch the excitement,
No one knows the real affairs of the imperial family better than Your Highness.
Your Highness,
Don't deceive yourself anymore.
This subordinate doesn't think Your Highness can't guess this possibility!"
The Crown Prince put down the memorial in his hand,
Looking at Mr. Zhu,
The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Then, what do you want this Prince to do? Father Emperor has probably already set off, the imperial carriage has already left the palace."
"Your Highness, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivialities. You are the Crown Prince, you are the foundation of the country, the future of Great Yan can only be on your shoulders!
This subject asks the Crown Prince to dispatch the East Palace Guard Army to the Lu family to protect His Majesty!
Only with you present,
Can His Majesty not deliberately walk into that scheme, even if this possibility is very small, we can't afford to gamble.
Great cause is at hand,
The throne is at hand,
We,
The East Palace,
The officials who support you,
Cannot tolerate any mistakes!"
"East Palace Guard Army?"
The East Palace Guard Army didn't refer to the guards of the East Palace, but a guard yamen stationed outside the imperial palace in the inner city, which was considered the Crown Prince's personal army.
The establishment was two thousand.
This was standard equipment for the Crown Prince's residence. Every Crown Prince of Great Yan had such a personal army, which also served as a ceremonial guard and escort when leaving the palace or during sacrificial ceremonies.
"Yes, currently, the only ones that can be mobilized immediately are the East Palace Guard Army."
Mobilizing other troops, firstly, the name isn't right and the words aren't correct, after all, now that the Emperor has returned to the palace, the Crown Prince is no longer supervising the country, and it will be too late if it takes too long.
Only that East Palace Guard Army theoretically only listened to the Crown Prince's dispatch and could be dispatched immediately.
And that army was definitely not a show, well-trained, and well-equipped.
"Your Highness, if the Sixth Prince doesn't jump over the wall in desperation, then you are going to visit your own nephew. If the Sixth Prince really dares... then you are going to protect His Majesty!
The matter is urgent, Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer!"
The Crown Prince took a deep breath,
Finally,
Nodded,
Said:
"Then this Prince will go and see his nephew."
...
"Eunuch."
Eunuch Wei was driving the carriage,
There were some guards following in front and behind the carriage.
At this time,
A helmsman of the Secret Spy Division came forward to ask,
The question was simple, that was, according to normal procedures, when His Majesty traveled incognito, it was necessary to clear the streets.
The Secret Spy Division experts would quickly spread out and nip all possible threats in the bud in advance.
But the problem now was,
This time, the incognito visit was to the Lu residence.
The head of the Lu family, Lu Bing, was a colleague of their Secret Spy Division.
The previous few times when His Majesty visited the Lu residence incognito, he didn't clear the streets, because the people in Lu Bing's yamen would only do it more carefully.
But this time,
This helmsman came to ask specifically.
It could only be said that,
Those who could sit in this position would never be fools;
After being immersed in this business for a long time, naturally, they would have that kind of peculiar premonition, and even be able to capture the scent of unusual omens emanating from the air.
Wei Zhonghe's eyelids drooped slightly,
Silently waving his hand.
"Yes."
This helmsman retreated.
The Secret Spy Division didn't conduct advance deployments and clearing of the Lu residence, like before, expressing respect for this equal yamen.
The gate of the Lu residence,
Slowly opened,
The carriage,
Drove into it.
...
At the same time,
Marquis Zheng, who was hugging the Son of Heaven Sword and chatting with a group of Zhenbei Army officers, received a message.
That was, the Crown Prince's Guard Army suddenly moved out, fully armored.
Such a large-scale mobilization of troops couldn't be silent, and after the Zhenbei Army was transferred into the city a few days ago, they also made simple deployments in some areas of the city, and that Crown Prince's Guard Army directly passed through their defense zone.
They had the Crown Prince's decree, and the Zhenbei Army had no reason to intercept them.
However,
It was still a military intelligence,
At least Marquis Zheng was a meritorious Marquis,
At least Zheng Fan was holding the Son of Heaven Sword,
At least it wasn't in vain that he had been chatting with this group of Zhenbei Army ruffians for so many days, and had become familiar with them,
Marquis Zheng was able to quickly learn of this news.
And after hearing this news,
Perhaps it was the sensitivity developed from years of battlefield experience, or perhaps it was the understanding and trust in Ji Lao Liu,
Marquis Zheng's first reaction was,
Ji Lao Liu,
Was going to make a move!
Then,
What should he do?
Li Liang Shen's Zhenbei Army had perfectly missed all the battles in the past few years, so they were extremely fascinated by the battlefield stories that Marquis Zheng told.
But this didn't mean that Marquis Zheng could really mobilize them.
Now, the only thing he could do was to signal Si Niang, who had come with him, to hurry back and notify the others. Now, he should start contacting the Wang residence's family members first.
Whether he could help or not was another matter,
At least,
Protect the family members first.
In addition,
Notify the First Prince, who had been pretending to be drunk at home for several days.
...
"Your Majesty."
Lu Bing personally stepped forward to help the Yan Emperor down from the carriage.
The rest of the Lu family's relatives,
Were once again all placed under house arrest in advance.
Obviously their own family was about to become the focus of attention in the entire Yan Jing City, but as family members, they really couldn't see the true face of Mount Lu.
"How is the wet nurse's health?"
He came to see his grandson, but, what he asked first must be the wet nurse.
"Replying to Your Majesty, my mother's health is still good."
"That's good."
The Yan Emperor gently pushed away Lu Bing's supporting hand,
Walking towards the Buddhist nunnery himself.
"We kowtow to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!"
"We kowtow to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!"
Two of the most skilled imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, seeing His Majesty's personal arrival, hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"How is Chuanye's health?" the Yan Emperor asked.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Imperial Grandson should have suffered from deficiency-heat due to physical cold. This subject has already administered acupuncture, and with a few doses of medicine, he should recover in two days."
"Rise."
"Thank Your Majesty."
"Thank Your Majesty."
The Yan Emperor stepped into the Buddhist nunnery.
Inside, two maids were already kneeling there.
The Old Madam was leaning on her crutch, waiting there.
Seeing the Yan Emperor walking in, the Old Madam's face first showed joy, but looking at the Yan Emperor's face with a complexion that was almost as good as a normal person's, the Old Madam opened her mouth, and then closed it again.
Old eyes, instantly wet.
"Wet Nurse."
"Your Majesty, this old one did not take good care of the Imperial Grandson, please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Wet Nurse, sit, sit."
The Yan Emperor stepped forward and took the Old Madam's hand.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you."
Patting the Old Madam's hand, the Yan Emperor said to Lu Bing beside him: "Help the Wet Nurse sit down."
Lu Bing immediately helped his mother sit down.
The Yan Emperor then said to the Old Madam:
"I'll go see Chuanye first."
The Old Madam took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodding.
The Yan Emperor walked into the inner hall. The Imperial Grandson, Ji Chuanye, was lying on the bed at this time, his face still covered in a deficiency sweat.
However, perhaps he was disturbed by the noise outside, or perhaps his body was really uncomfortable, so he didn't fall asleep. When the Yan Emperor came in, he saw his grandson lying on the bed, looking at him with his eyes open.
Ji Chuanye grinned,
Smiled,
"Imperial Grandfather..."
Then, he made a gesture to get up.
"Oh, Your Highness, you can't get up, you can't get exposed to the wind again."
Wei Zhonghe immediately stepped forward and gently pressed Ji Chuanye back.
Lu Bing was also standing behind the Yan Emperor at this time, his eyes showing a hint of struggle.
The Yan Emperor walked to the bedside and sat down.
Reaching out,
He placed it on Ji Chuanye's forehead, his forehead was still a little hot.
Grandparents love their grandchildren;
In the past few years, his other sons had also successively had offspring, but the number of times the Yan Emperor came to see this Imperial Grandson was actually the most. Otherwise, Ji Chuanye wouldn't have said that he wanted to learn the sleeve sword from Wei Zhonghe.
It was just that outsiders didn't know about it.
"Tell Imperial Grandfather, are you still uncomfortable?"
Ji Chuanye shook his head,
Said:
"Great-Grandmother told Chuanye to drink medicine, the medicine is very bitter."
Lu Bing's face immediately stiffened when he heard this.
The Yan Emperor didn't take it to heart, and asked with a normal expression:
"Very bitter medicine, and Chuanye still drank it?"
"I drank it, Great-Grandmother said that it was my father who made me drink it, saying that it could lure Imperial Grandfather to come and see Chuanye."
"Oh?"
"My father told me that he wants to fight for the position, if he fights it down, I'll have a share in the future."
"Is that so."
"Yes, I am my father's son, the teacher taught in class, father is the guideline for son;
Meaning, whatever my father wants me to do, I have to do it, whatever my father wants to fight for, I have to help him fight for it together.
The medicine is very bitter, but Chuanye still finished drinking it all;
Imperial Grandfather, you really came."
The child was obviously very uncomfortable, but he still grinned and showed a childlike smile.
"Hehe..."
The Yan Emperor smiled and reached out to touch Ji Chuanye's head,
Said:
"Our family's Chuanye is so good."
