Zhu Bai saluted with a grimace: "Father, why don't you let me go to Changsha. I don't want to stay in Yingtian and work as a cow or horse. I'm old enough to go to the vassal land."
Lao Zhu: "After you walk this circle with your elder brother, we will let you go to the domain."
Zhu Bai took off his waist badge and held it up with both hands: "Actually, I am going with you, which is to help the eldest brother arrange food and accommodation. If the eldest brother holds this waist badge, no one in the Guanya Bureau Station in various places will dare not to cooperate."
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao exchanged looks.
At the end of last year, Hu Mei returned to her hometown in Mianyang, Hubei Province with more than 100 people and all her family members.
Now I am not afraid even if I let Zhu Bai go to Changsha.
Zhu Biao came out of the imperial study, and Liu Bowen stopped him on the way: "Your Highness, are you going to take Prince Xiang with you?"
Zhu Biao: "The twelfth brother is going to Changsha to become a vassal. This time I will not follow our palace."
Liu Bowen immediately said: "Absolutely not. Your Highness must trap King Xiang in Yingtian and not let him have any chance to come into contact with military power."
Zhu Biao said: "Hu Mei has left Changsha and handed over military power."
Liu Bowen said: "Your Highness must not underestimate King Xiang's ability to confuse and win people's hearts. Besides, Hu Mei may not be really sick."
He has used tricks like pretending to be sick.
Zhu Biao frowned quickly and anxiously: "Originally, I felt that I was making a fuss out of a molehill. I had been guarding against Zhu Bai since he was a few years old."
Now it's even worse.
As a result, you, Liu Bowen, went even further.
Hu Mei's stroke was diagnosed face to face by two imperial doctors.
Moreover, the pro-military captain and Jin Yiwei also went to Hu Mei's old house to inquire about it from time to time.
The most Hu Mei can do now is take a walk in the yard when the weather is nice.
This hemiplegic old man is still worried that he will help Zhu Bai rebel? ! !
Is it you, Liu Bowen, who has too little confidence in me, or are you exaggerating Zhu Bai's abilities to the point of deifying the people around him in order to gain my trust? ?
Liu Bowen said: "Those who plan for great things must not be benevolent as women."
You taught me to govern the country with kindness. Now tell me that you cannot be kind to women.
Could it be that you were too stimulated by Liu Lian's death...
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and said to Liu Bowen: "Master, don't worry too much about the affairs of the court and rest at home. I tell my father that you don't have to go to the main hall. If you have time, go to the Imperial College to teach." "
After he finished speaking, he left without giving Liu Bowen a chance to speak.
Liu Bowen wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhu Biao's bodyguard: "Master Liu, please come back."
Liu Bowen could only give up, turned around and cursed in his heart: Zhu Biao, you are crossing the river and burning the bridge.
I have been training you all my life, how could you let me go so easily? ! !
Lao Zhu ordered the three vassal kings Zhu Tan, Zhu Chun, and Zhu Bai to leave Yingtian within a month to join the vassal.
The guards who had protected the prince before still followed the feudal princes to the feudal land.
Only Zhang Yu was left in Yingtian, and Zhu Biao recommended Zhang Yu's son Zhang Fu to Zhu Bai as the commander of the bodyguard.
Zhang Fu had no fighting experience, no fame, and he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Isn't this a joke?
Zhu Biao's doing this can be said to be a layer of defense against Zhu Bai.
Lao Zhu actually agreed, but he couldn't bear to be treated so poorly, so he added Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu was in his twenties. He was originally a member of Yingtianwei's family and had no fame.
No one in the court made a sound.
You know, even when Zhu Ru left, some people jumped out and cursed, saying alarmist things like "laying the root of disaster".
Everyone is eager for Zhu Bai to leave Yingtian.
Because as long as Zhu Bai is here, no one can do anything small.
With Zhu Bai gone, they could attack the Guan Ya Bureau, the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division, the Guan Granary, and the Ordnance Factory.
Zhu Bai began to pack his things and sent people to transport them to Changsha one after another.
He had a fleet from the Guan Ya Bureau, so it was effortless to transport it.
However, the Guanya Bureau fleet cannot only transport his things, so it takes more than ten days to complete the shipment.
After all, the general office of the Guanya Bureau will also be transferred from Yingtian to Changsha.
Goods don’t move, but people do.
The chief officer, two deputy tooth chiefs and the shopkeeper of Guanyinzhuang have already bid farewell to the Guanyin Bureau and returned to their respective hometowns.
In fact, after they went out from different directions, their destination was Changsha.
They also have some luggage.
Everything about the mansion over there has been arranged, they just took the first step.
After Zhu Bai saw that the things were almost transported, he set off with the convoy to Changsha.
It was now the dog days of summer, and the weather in Yingtian was extremely sultry.
But Concubine Hu Shun's lethargy became more and more serious, and she would sometimes sleep for two or three days at a time.
The imperial doctor was also helpless.
When Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao said goodbye to Zhu Bai and the three brothers, they still didn't mention Concubine Hu Shun's illness.
Concubine Hu Shun happened to be awake today and was in good spirits when she came to see Zhu Bai off.
According to the rules, several vassal kings were not allowed to talk to their own mothers alone, and could only look at her from a distance.
Therefore, Zhu Bai had no way of noticing anything strange about Concubine Hu Shun.
When Zhu Bai was about to leave, Concubine Hu Shun and Zhu Ju couldn't help but cry again.
Zhu Bai was also a little sad and held back tears to say goodbye.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Bai's retreating figure, feeling a little sad.
Farewell to Bobby was harder than farewell to any of his sons.
After all, he liked this son the most. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for him to see Zhu Bai again in this life.
After sending Zhu Bai away, Concubine Hu Shun returned to the palace and slept.
Xiangyun went to wake her up two mornings in a row, but failed to wake her up.
On the third day, Xiangyun went to wake Concubine Hu Shun as usual, but found that she had no breath.
Lao Zhu and Guo Huifei rushed over and took a look. Concubine Hu Shun seemed to be asleep, very peaceful.
Zhu Ju hugged Concubine Hu Shun and cried heartbrokenly.
Lao Zhu's eyes were red, and he murmured to Concubine Hu Shun from a distance, who could no longer hear him: "How come even you..."
Concubine Hu Shun had nothing to do with the world and had always been too quiet. She even died so quietly.
While crying, Concubine Guo Hui stopped Lao Zhu from getting closer: "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body. I don't know what kind of disease Sister Shun Fei has, so Your Majesty, it's better not to get close."
In fact, they all smelled a slight stench, so Concubine Hu Shun must have gone there in the middle of the night.
The weather was hot and it smelled bad after being left there all night.
Although Lao Zhu was sad, he was afraid that the disease and corpse energy would be transmitted to Zhu Ju, so he asked someone to drag her away, and went out with Guo Huifei.
The imperial doctor came to check and came out and said: "Ms. Shun Fei passed away peacefully."
The weather is hot and the body cannot be kept for a long time.
Lao Zhu gave Concubine Hu Shun a title and immediately buried her in the imperial mausoleum.
Xiangyun wore mourning clothes when she was buried for Concubine Hu Shun, covering her face and crying bitterly throughout the process.
Because she had said early in the morning that she would keep vigil for Concubine Hu Shun, so everyone else returned to the palace, leaving the incense cloud in the mausoleum.
When Zhu Ju was led back to the palace by Concubine Hu Shun's maids, she turned back three times with each step and looked at Concubine Hu Shun's tombstone with tears in her eyes.
Everyone sighed: Alas, this child is pitiful.
She had lost her biological mother since she was a child, and finally had a few good years until Concubine Hu Shun raised her.
This time again...
