The capital city, which is far away from the hinterland, finally received a snowfall this year.
This snowfall came a few days later than the snowfall in Yanqueguan, but the scale was larger.
Unlike the poor people in the border areas who are worried about how to live and keep warm this winter after a heavy snowfall, most people in the capital, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, are full of joy.
Especially those talented poets got up early before midnight, tidied up carefully and rushed to the poetry meeting with great interest. While reciting poems and lyrics, they added a certain romance to the snow-covered capital.
Various trinkets suitable for the occasion have been put up and hung on the streets early.
But not everyone can laugh.
Prince Jing's Mansion.
In the hall, King Jing once again broke a piece of fine porcelain that he had just collected a few days ago. His handsome face looked even more ferocious because he had been so angry recently.
"Trash, they're all trash...get out of here, get out of here!"
Following a burst of hysterical curses, all the servants and maids in the hall ran out in a panic, and everyone's body was trembling slightly.
After heaving a sigh of relief, they were happy, but none of them dared to go far.
Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing was domineering in the past, he only wanted to break things. The wealth of Prince Jing's Mansion was nothing at all. However, it has been different since a few months ago.
A few months ago, after King Jing beat a maid to death in a rage, he became more and more unscrupulous, and many servants and maids were covered with scars.
These servants had a lot of resentment in their hearts. However, the deed of betrayal had been signed to King Jing. They had no control over whether they would live or die. They could only bear the torture silently.
Today, His Highness Prince Jing is angry again for some unknown reason.
They thought that some of them would be unlucky today, but they didn't expect that King Jing just smashed some things and asked them to get out.
Although the tone was harsh, they were a little lucky because they didn't have to be punished. However, even though they left the hall, they still stopped in the courtyard and did not dare to go far away.
If they weren't there when His Highness King Jing called for someone, they might be waiting for more than just some physical pain.
Within the hall.
After driving all the servants out, King Jing no longer felt like continuing to smash things to vent his anger, and instead sat down on the chair.
A few months ago, he sent people to assassinate King Yu, but for some reason he survived under a spell that theoretically would kill him.
Since then, his good-for-nothing brother has started to look different.
First, Granny Wang, who placed him in Prince Yu's Mansion, was beaten up and kicked out, which greatly damaged his face; then he made a fuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs and demanded the imperial salary that he secretly withheld after greeting him.
go back.
King Jing had a very good plan. After killing King Yu, his good-for-nothing brother, and then waiting until Prince Yu's palace was in such embarrassment that he could no longer survive, he asked Wang Ruoqing to come and beg him through Granny Wang who was placed in Prince Yu's palace. Then he would naturally be able to hug him.
The beauty will return.
However, due to a series of operations by King Yu, his plan completely failed.
Later, King Yu received an order to go to the bitter and cold place at the border. King Jing was gloating about the misfortune but also felt a little regretful.
Once King Yu leaves, he will naturally bring Princess Yu with him, and it will be even more difficult for him to continue to attack Wang Ruoqing.
It was at this time that a retainer in his house came up with a plan to kill Prince Yu with a borrowed knife. When the time came, Princess Yu, who had become a widow, would naturally return to the capital according to etiquette.
Then King Jing will have another chance.
King Jing's uncle, Marquis Wu Cheng, was a border marshal in charge of 100,000 troops. Duke Cheng Guo, who commanded the capital camp, and his uncle were close brothers, because almost half of the Wuxun nobles expressed support for King Jing's fight for the throne.
.
Therefore, although the Yanque Pass that Di Xin was responsible for was not the border pass that his uncle was responsible for guarding, it was not a big problem for him to know the route and time of transporting grain and grass supplies to Yanque Pass.
Therefore, he secretly sent someone to pass the information on the latest shipment of grain and grass supplies to Yanque Pass into the hands of the Turks, and made his only request, which was to let King Yu die.
However, the Turkic barbarians turned out to be more useless than he imagined. Not only was it of no use at all, but it also exposed the fact that someone had leaked secrets about the food route.
When the eight-hundred-mile urgent memorial from Anjun Mountain arrived in the capital, King Jing was a little panicked.
There is no problem in saying that what he did is treason in a deeper sense. Even if it is put lightly, it is not a trivial matter. When the time comes, let alone fighting for the throne, he will be able to burn high incense if he is not demoted to a commoner.
King Jing, who was overwhelmed by jealousy and desire, came to his senses and began to look for countermeasures.
However, before he could think of a solution, the retainer who advised him and personally delivered the message died in his room without any explanation.
When he received the news, King Jing's first reaction was not panic, but ecstasy.
It’s good to die, it’s good to die!
As a prince, it was impossible for him to do it himself, and the matter needed to be kept secret, so all the specific implementation was done by the retainer.
Now that the retainer is dead, there is absolutely no evidence, and it will be impossible to trace him.
To be on the safe side, he silenced the body of the guest overnight.
But even so, he remained cautiously calm for a long time, and even the overt and covert fight with King Cheng temporarily stopped.
At the same time, his hatred for King Yu deepened in his heart.
If King Yu had died early, these things would not have happened.
However, King Yu not only did not die obediently, but instead became more and more famous. Even far away in the capital, King Yu's deeds at Yanque Pass continued to spread to his ears.
Open a school, reduce taxes, retreat from the Turks... When the title "Wise King" spread to the capital, the furious King Jing accidentally killed his second servant.
How could he not understand that when he got here, his good-for-nothing brother not only stole his beloved woman, but also coveted the throne he wanted after arriving at the border.
King Jing was filled with hatred, but he couldn't take action again because of what happened last time.
However, King Yu had no intention of giving up at all.
If the previous events still happened in the border area, except for some ministers in the court, their impact was only within the one-third of an acre of King Yu, and it was acceptable.
However, the drawings sent urgently from eight hundred miles away from the border yesterday made King Jing completely unable to sit still.
Although King Jing was irritable and greedy for beauty, he was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been supported by the martial nobles.
The court is a huge fame and fortune fair. No matter how close the relationship is, no one will support a loser.
Therefore, just by seeing the drawings and the principles marked on them, King Jing knew how much benefit the coal stove could bring.
No one can refuse the convenience and benefits brought by the coal stove, from the royal family members, high-ranking officials and nobles to the ordinary people at dawn.
Almost everyone in Dali will have their winter life improved because of the existence of coal stoves.
And such utensils were presented by King Yu without asking for any benefits.
