Chapter 368 The Changxing Emperor with a dry heart
After staying in Qingyun Palace for the entire afternoon, Emperor Changxing's official officer got up and left.
"Empress, Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Concubine Qing didn't care, "No matter what he means, it's a good thing for Thirteen anyway."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes slightly.
Since compensation has been made here, given Emperor Changxing's usual habits, it is estimated that there will be no compensation elsewhere.
His Majesty went to Qingyun Palace again and made the Thirteenth Princess, who had been married for two years, Princess Anrong.
This matter quickly spread throughout the harem, but it did not cause any disturbance.
She is just a princess. As long as she is not a crown prince or a prince, almost no one will take a second look at her.
"The lives of most of the men in the Zhenguo Palace were exchanged for the status of a princess..." Someone clicked his tongue and shook his head.
the next day,
A rare light rain fell in Xingji City.
The entire imperial capital seemed much brighter, and even the sultry heat of midsummer had gone away by more than half.
However, Emperor Changxing felt a little uneasy while swimming in the Imperial Garden.
"Grandfather, come and see, there is a big grasshopper here."
"Grandfather, Grandfather, there is a big goldfish here..."
"Here we come." Emperor Changxing took a long time to reply.
In the past, as long as King Qin's sons and daughters would call him "grandfather" obediently, Emperor Changxing would come over happily.
Now the two children were shouting non-stop as always, but he was frequently distracted.
"Your Majesty," Changlu said softly, "would you like me to invite Master Hongguang over to show you the dragon body?"
"Go ahead."
Soon the King of Qin's son and daughter left, and the old monk with white beard and eyebrows arrived at the Imperial Garden.
The monarch and his ministers are polite and courteous.
Master Hongguang checked the pulse carefully and looked at the old emperor up and down for a long time.
Emperor Changxing was so frightened that his limbs went limp before he spoke slowly and slowly.
"Your Majesty is fine for the time being, but he is so worried and angry. There must be something embarrassing that he is holding in his heart. Why don't you tell me and let Lao Na listen?"
"It's nothing." Emperor Changxing breathed a long sigh of relief, "Maybe it's because I've been busy with state affairs these days and I haven't had a good rest."
As the ruler of a country, as long as there is something wrong with your body, everything else is not a problem.
Since Emperor Changxing didn't want to say anything and the old monk didn't force him, Master Hongguang left politely.
After being invited into the palace, he no longer had too many patients to see, but Master Hongguang was not idle.
He is working hard to compile medical scriptures and what he saw and heard when he traveled to various places in the past years.
As soon as Master Hongguang left, a young eunuch hurried over.
"Your Majesty, news came from the Forbidden Army Commandery Office that Commander Zuo Fuzuo died of illness at 3:00 noon. He was sixty-two years old."
What?
Two exclamations sounded in unison.
Changlu and Emperor Changxing glanced at each other subconsciously.
Both the master and the servant looked pale and sad.
When Emperor Changxing was still an ordinary prince, Changlu was his personal servant, and Zuo Fu was the chief of the guard.
It can be said that the three of them grew up together and experienced the ups and downs of the court together, and their friendship is the deepest.
Nowadays, high-ranking officials are busy and prosperous, but as people age, their bodies will inevitably suffer from some problems.
In fact, Zuo Fu had already complained of illness and asked to resign earlier, but Emperor Changxing did not approve it and only allowed him to recuperate at home.
He even rushed to send good medicine and good medicine to the Forbidden Army Commander's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, I hadn't seen him for more than a month, and I just waited for this piece of news.
Why--
Emperor Changxing's body swayed slightly.
"Your Majesty?" Changlu quickly helped him.
"I'm fine."
He said it was okay, but Emperor Changxing felt cold in his heart at this moment. He looked several years older all of a sudden.
A long time passed before he spoke, his voice dry and unpleasant.
"Changlu, come to the Commander's Mansion to express condolences on my behalf..."
"Old slave, I'll go immediately."
Emperor Changxing had no interest in visiting the garden at first. As soon as Changlu left, he also left in a hurry.
On the contrary, the concubines in the harem who had dressed up carefully and expected to meet by chance were greatly disappointed.
The imperial army guards the palace, and its commander is in charge of the emperor's wealth and life, so its importance and status are of great importance. It can be said that he is one of the most trusted people by the emperor.
The news of Zuo Fu's death quickly spread among the high gates of Star City.
Many mansions quickly sent people to express their condolences.
Grand Master's Mansion, main gate.
Young Master Ren Rong has just returned from an outing.
He held a thick and large sacrificial incense in his hand, saluted respectfully towards the four characters "Eternal Master of the Emperor" on the screen wall, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"The eldest son," even though Ren Rong is already married and has children, the young men who grew up with him still habitually call him the eldest son in private, "just now the chamberlain chief steward Chang Lu entered the governor's mansion with several carts of gifts. Our grand master
Does the government want to..."
Ren Rong raised his head and looked quietly at the tall and weathered screen wall in front of him, and after a long while he said, "When the spiritual hub of General Huo Zheng, the Duke of Old Town, returned to Xingji City from the Western Frontier, did Changlu come out to visit?"
"No!" The young man shook his head without hesitation, "Even when the old Duke's coffin left Xingji City and was sent back to Xingluo's hometown for burial, there was no movement in the palace."
In fact, what the servant said is not accurate, there is still some movement in the palace.
But for these high-ranking sects, who are at the top of the Yunchui Empire, it is nothing to just send a eunuch from the palace or an official from the Ministry of Rites and War to visit them.
Ren Rong did not continue asking, but changed the topic.
"The newspaper will be published today, when will it be delivered?"
This question is not only being asked by him, but also by many people in the entire Xingji City and even Yunchui.
Jin Palace,
Princess Jin glanced at the hourglass on the Treasure Pavilion from time to time, and kept thinking, "Youshi, Youshi, why hasn't this broken Youshi arrived yet?"
cough!
Chen Xiuzhu shrank the belly that had become smaller again.
"Princess, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Now Jinlinwei is closely tracing the source of the newspaper. Ninety percent of the newspaper will not be delivered today."
"What? Didn't Zuo Fu just die?" Princess Jin opened her eyes in disbelief, "His subordinates are still working so hard?"
Ahem!
There was a cough in the room.
"Princess," the maid reminded her bravely, "the deceased Mr. Zuo was the commander of the imperial army, and the person who traced the newspaper was the Jinlin Guards who was disliked by everyone. Its commander is Du Ziming."
"Oh." Princess Jin nodded, her face mellow due to pregnancy showing no trace of embarrassment.
"That bastard's name is Du Ziming? How come he doesn't have any self-awareness? Hurry up and take back your minions. Don't disturb everyone's reading of the newspaper."
Moreover, everything in the newspaper is true, neither slander nor rumor-mongering, so why shouldn’t everyone read it?
Miyagi,
Ah chirp, ah chirp.
Du Ziming held a newly found newspaper in his hand and walked inside while sneezing.
what happened?
He looked up blankly at the sky.
It just rained a little. I am strong and practice martial arts frequently. Could it be that I still caught the wind and cold?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind and he didn't think too much about it.
The steps under my feet are getting faster and faster, and the sweat on my palms is getting more and more wet.
"Your Majesty, I have just intercepted a latest newspaper. I don't know whether the news in it is true or false, but it is shocking."
Emperor Changxing was upset and furious when he heard it, "What news is shocking?"
"This..." Du Ziming didn't dare to speak.
The headline on the front page was the news of Yun Chui's establishment, which they expected.
But the subtitle is eye-catching: King Qi is missing and his life and death are unknown.
