King Ji also sighed: "That's all, just cherish it without authorization."
Chapter 104
In the name of recuperating from illness, King Chen did not ride a horse when he left the palace. Instead, he rode in a carriage with his wife, Princess Chen. At this moment, he watched a bloody show in front of his house, and his legs were even more sore. So soft and frightened, how can I still have the courage to ride a horse?
Is this true for him as an adult, let alone how many children?
The eldest son has already married, but his face is not even a trace of blood. The younger children are lying in their mother's arms and sobbing silently, fearing that they will get into trouble, and even crying. I don’t even dare to come.
King Chen closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. All the way to the outside of Yichun Palace, his arms were still shaking uncontrollably.
On the contrary, Princess Chen comforted her husband: "Life is better than anything else!"
She held her husband's hand comfortingly: "We still have children, how dare we fall down now?"
As brothers and sisters-in-law, they can still have the audacity to go to their younger brothers. When the new emperor ascends the throne, they, as uncles and aunts, will shamelessly ask for something. They are always a bit thin-faced. If it were replaced by someone a generation away, Prince...
Who will pay attention to him!
King Chen said "Ah!" and tears flowed down his eyes. When Princess Chen saw this, she also cried.
For a moment, everyone in Prince Chen's palace in the carriage burst into tears.
In the end, King Chen picked himself up and got off the carriage to see the situation in Yichun Palace.
The scenery was excellent, but it was a bit deserted and deserted to live in. He had no intention of spreading out - did he really think he was here to recuperate?
A steward from the palace had been waiting here for a long time. With a bit of a smile on his face, he asked him from neither far nor near: "Your Majesty, how should we arrange it?"
King Chen did not choose the main hall, but asked them to clear out the side halls and the back hall. He, Princess Chen and their several young children lived in the back hall, the prince and his wife lived in the left side hall, and the two side concubines and other concubines lived in the back hall. The attendants live in the right side hall.
When the steward saw this, he did not take the initiative to invite him to stay in the main palace. He only smiled and said: "I know that the prince is coming to rest, the palace has been cleaned out long ago, and he can move in immediately."
Then he saluted him and Princess Chen: "Your Majesty has sent a servant here to take care of the prince."
When Princess Chen heard this, she knew that he had been ordered to take charge of the affairs and also had the responsibility of supervision. She immediately took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it over: "Thank you for your hard work."
The steward was very thorough and knew that if she didn't accept it, Princess Chen would be uneasy, so she accepted it with a smile, bowed and said, "I thank you, Princess, for your reward."
He clapped his hands again and called a group of maids and servants to come: "I know that the prince and the princess are not strong enough, so I have specially found someone to come and let you choose first."
When King Chen and Princess Chen heard this, they were silent for a moment, their expressions were expressionless, and their hearts were filled with unbearable pain.
This time Prince Chen's Mansion suffered a calamity. From top to bottom, only the masters escaped. The slaves were either killed or sent to serve in Xishan. They feared that they would never see them again in this life.
Here are the staff who have been with King Chen for many years, the chamberlains who have served him since childhood, the loyal stewards and servants, the confidants of Princess Chen and the wet nurses who nursed her, as well as the prince’s teachers and wives. …
So many living people were all gone in the blink of an eye.
When she was in the palace, Princess Chen had to cover up for her husband in front of the emperor. After leaving the palace, she comforted her frustrated husband with gentle words. But after all, she was a human being and had emotions and desires. How could she not complain?
If my husband hadn't had that idea, how could our family have fallen into this situation!
But at this moment, Princess Chen found that she could no longer blame her husband.
The emperor didn't even say a word, so the emperor and his grandson could easily take away the ownership rights of all the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion, causing them to run away like bereaved dogs...
Who can sincerely give up such authority? !
Who would be willing to be coy and arrogant when he can give orders?
After all, she was the mistress who had been in charge of the family for many years. She knew that overthinking was useless. Princess Chen quickly regrouped and calculated how many maids and servants there were in front of her. She kept four of them and ordered eight more to serve. They gave a few more children to the prince and his wife, and finally looked at King Chen with his eyes and signaled to him the two concubines and concubines.
King Chen sighed with concern, pointed to the concubines, and said to the steward: "Give them some property and let them make a living for themselves."
The steward looked embarrassed and said: "If this is the case, in accordance with the old rules of the government, I'm afraid I have to send him to Xishan."
The concubines immediately softened with fear and hurriedly knelt down to beg for their lives.
King Chen himself is a clay Bodhisattva who crosses the river. How can he have the leisure to pay attention to them?
Being able to send people away with the idea of sharing some money was already considered kind-hearted, so he waved his hand impatiently.
In the end, Princess Chen made up her mind: "Let's be a maid who grows flowers and grass in Yichun Palace."
The two concubines were very obedient when they saw this, and immediately said: "With the current situation in the house, the cost of food and clothing cannot be compared with the past, but it is up to the princess to handle it."
Prince Chen glanced at the Prince and his wife's office, and Princess Chen knowingly ordered the same number of people as the Prince and his wife's office to serve the two concubines.
The concubines of the palace were given a name certificate. When they entered the palace, they had to treat their brothers to a banquet in a formal manner. They also received dowries when they entered the palace, but now these are all turned into ashes - let alone the two of them. The concubine's dowry and even Princess Chen's own dowry were all destroyed.
All the masters in Prince Chen's Mansion almost went to Yichun Palace naked. Although they still had 100,000 taels of Anjia silver, what use could this little money do?
Don’t the people in the mansion need food and clothing?
The kings celebrate their birthdays, or the Mid-Autumn Festival, don’t they need favors?
The dowries of Princess Chen, the Crown Princess, and even the two concubines were all turned into ashes. Can Prince Chen and the Crown Prince really pretend to be dead without any subsidies?
The sad days are yet to come.
…
If there is a saying that kills chickens to scare monkeys, then Prince Chen's house is undoubtedly the chicken that was killed, and the effect was extremely significant. The kings instantly stopped thinking "if daddy dies, the world will be in good health soon", and began to burn incense and worship Buddha. Dad don’t want to die.
No matter how cruel a father is, he is still a biological father. He has some pity for his son. If it were his nephew who was in charge, how could he care about people's lives and lives? !
Sure enough, I am afraid of comparison in everything!
At this time, the emperor has finalized the candidate for succession. The emperor's grandson is capable and capable, and can securely occupy the throne. In this case, as the young emperor's grandson steps onto the political stage, they, the emperor's uncles, have become a thing of the past. .
In this case, everyone should join the group to keep warm. Why are you still thinking about the little things you did in the past?
I also heard people say that the people in Prince Chen's Mansion had a miserable life in Yichun Palace. The place was just small, and the food and clothing costs could no longer be reduced.
The kings had already expected this.
After all, they watched Prince Chen's house being ransacked. Although they left with one hundred thousand taels of silver, they couldn't get enough food and clothing right away.
On the contrary, things hurt their own kind, and I wanted to help him a little, but I thought of the emperor and grandson in the palace, and I didn't dare to take the initiative to reach out.
I can only whisper quietly in my heart, Brother Chen Wang, don’t blame me, brother, I am really afraid of getting angry!
After some time, they heard that the Crown Princess sent someone to deliver something to Yichun Palace. The kings were more or less relieved - the little boy is not a thing, but the sister-in-law is still very reasonable!
Then he followed closely and expressed something.
…
The kings outside the palace were strengthening their brotherly relations, while the emperor inside the palace summoned his trusted ministers to give them advice one by one.
One's own policy strategy, regarding the specific implementation of a certain policy, there is no need to be too grand after death, everything should be simple...
The successor cannot say these things, or even express his intention. Only he, the emperor who is about to become famous, can speak publicly.
The important ministers have served the emperor for decades, and their relationship cannot be said to be deep. They can rise to such a high position, and they must be grateful to the emperor for their appreciation.
Now I see the once arrogant emperor lying on the collapse, old and weak, and it is inevitable to shed tears.
The emperor himself was very calm, and even smiled and appeased them: "Everyone says long live the emperor, but from ancient times to the present, how can there be an emperor who lives ten thousand years? Birth, old age, illness and death are just common things in the world, so how can I be an exception?"
After speaking to each other one by one, he sent them back and summoned Duke Dingguo who had been guarding outside the palace to come in alone.
"Finally, I still want to meet you."
I talked for too long, spent too much effort, and kept going on, but I didn't think it was anything. I just took a short rest, but now I feel that it is unsustainable.
Duke Dingguo immediately said: "I will go to the imperial doctor immediately..."
The emperor stretched out his hand with difficulty and pulled his sleeve: "No need."
He smiled and said, "Sit down, let's talk for the last time."
Duke Dingguo had a vague premonition of separation from the emperor's words, deeds, and expressions.
He had been cautious in his words and deeds for decades, but at this moment he couldn't help but raise his head, and in a rare violation of the courtesy of a minister, he met the emperor's eyes.
The emperor looked at him gently and called him: "Bocheng, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
He looked around the hall: "It seems that it was also here at the beginning. King Dingbei took you into the palace to meet the late emperor. The late emperor asked you to come and read to me..."
An unspeakable sadness surged into his heart, and Duke Dingguo said in a trembling voice, "Yes, that happened many years ago."
The emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked him: "Do you still remember what eldest sister looks like?"
Dingguo Gong said: "I remember."
But the emperor slowly said: "I seem to have forgotten."
He quickly added: "However, it won't be long before I can probably see her."
When Duke Dingguo heard these words, he felt very uncertain: "Your Majesty..."
The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, and after a few moments, he opened them again: "I'm really tired. I used to be scared when I thought about death, but now I only feel calm in my heart."
"Bocheng, please be happy for me as much as you want, don't cry like a woman."
Speaking of this, his eyes were like fire, and suddenly a kind of eager brilliance bloomed: "That boy is really like me - even if he dies, I will have no regrets." !”
Duke Dingguo was sitting on one side. Seeing the emperor suddenly bursting out with such intense emotions, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After seeing this glorious end, the emperor's eyes were like a burnt coal. It cooled down quickly, and it became even more horrifying and pale.
He grabbed the emperor's hand, held it hard, and shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty!"
The emperor struggled to show a faint smile, reluctantly shook his hand, and said angrily: "Bo Cheng, serving a moody monarch like me, these years, it has been hard for you, right?"
Duke Dingguo burst into tears.
To say it’s not hard work must be a lie.
The Ning family of Duke Dingguo's family has been married to the Tian family several times, and has achieved great prosperity, but how can outsiders know the risks it carries?
The previous case involving King Wu almost overturned the Duke Ding's palace, so much so that Duke Ding's daughter Ning is still leading the family.
But if it is said to be resentment...
Why is this so!
Duke Dingguo's lips moved, and when he was about to speak, he felt that the hand holding his hand suddenly loosened.
There seemed to be a sound of thunder outside the window, and with the sound of thunder, a generation of emperors passed away!
Duke Dingguo sat in silence for a long time, and finally came to his senses in shock. He let go of the emperor's hand, knelt down, kowtowed to him respectfully, and then stood up and opened the door.
