Chapter 146: The bird frightened, fluttering like a fairy
~《》~ Chapter 146: The frightened bird is in a state of ecstasy
Dao Chi hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, if it is according to Master Zhang's words that the imperial envoy brought the holy grail to the back, then are Seventh Brother and the others going to run into each other?"
When the prince heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong left the palace on March 20th, and today is March 24th.
If we hurry up, the two of them will already be thousands of miles away. If there is really an imperial envoy, he would have covered his face long ago.
But just waiting for them to send back the news, the prince couldn't feel at ease.
After thinking about it, he still sent someone to send Lu Song and sent ten ceremonial guards out of the city to go north along the official road to see if they could find out the news.
The Taoist idiot came out of Qiyun Hall and went back to his home school.
Lu Bing was already waiting in his room. When he saw him coming back, he was a little excited and asked: "Second brother, have you seen Gu Dayong? I didn't expect that Dayong, who holds the power, would actually come to Anlu."
?”
The Taoist idiot said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Your Highness is annoyed. You should restrain yourself from your cheerful appearance."
Lu Bing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Second brother, aren't you happy? Don't you think this is strange?"
Ever since the decree of "preemptively attacking as king" came on April 18th, the Crown Prince was in a bad mood. Even though he was as close as Lu Bing, he acted cautiously in front of him.
However, thinking about the reputation of the "Eight Tigers", Lu Bing still refused to give up and said: "Second brother, among the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong have always been in charge of the military. Especially Gu Dayong, who is responsible for suppressing rebellions and patrolling the border.
There is him, isn’t he a tall, strong and mighty person?”
The Taoist idiot shook his head and said: "I don't realize how tall, strong and powerful you are, but you can bend and stretch."
However, there are some things that are not in place, and I still can't let go of my arrogance. Since the crown prince has already settled down, Gu Da used it to curry favor, so he just lowered his stature. He was obviously here to curry favor, but he still pretended to be an identity, so what could he lose? He thought he was
A person with status is respected by the whole family in Prince Xing's Mansion. However, he is a eunuch, not a civil or military official who controls the government. His status is obtained by relying on Emperor Zhengde. Now that Emperor Zhengde has passed away, he has become a rootless person.
Ping.
He is different from other internal officials. Whether other internal officials are prominent or not, they are all within the forbidden palace and have nothing to do with external officials. However, Gu Dayong was the admiral of the West Factory. He dealt with many officials and made many friends.
Enemy, if you don't hug the prince's thigh, you will definitely not end well.
Maybe he thought there was still a chance to slowly curry favor with the Crown Prince, but who was the Crown Prince? Gu Dayong kept silent and did not mention the edict, leaving the Crown Prince on tenterhooks for the past two days. It would be strange not to be resented by the Crown Prince.
When the Crown Prince of Qiyun Palace asked questions, Dao Chi wanted to say a few words, but when he thought of Lu Song's warning, he swallowed it back. He was only fourteen, and the Crown Prince was confused. He was too smart for no good, and he followed him "on tenterhooks"
"More appropriate.
Lu Bing was not an ignorant child. After saying a few words of curiosity about Gu Da, he also began to worry about the prince. Like a little old man, he sighed a few times about the unpredictable situation in the capital.
After Lu Bing left, Dao Chi felt a little excited. He was counting down to the capital. No matter how many imperial envoys or guards came from the capital, the prince's character would not easily trust outsiders and he would definitely bring everyone to the capital.
After living in the south for more than ten years, he really misses the north.
Early the next morning, Chen Chizhong rushed back home with two ceremonial guards, bringing big news.
Two days ago, thousands of horsemen were found in Runing Mansion heading south, wearing red helmets and bright armor, and dressed as guards and pro-military soldiers in the capital.
No matter where the destination is, it seems that you are heading towards Xinyang. If you go further south, you will go to Wuchang Prefecture. You will pass through Anlu by then, but I don't know whether it is a way or a special trip.
Worried that the message could not be conveyed clearly, Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong discussed it and decided that Chen Chizhong would come back in person to report the message. The remaining twenty-eight riders continued northward with Wang Qi.
If the prince had been lucky before, then after hearing the news brought back by Chen Chizhong, he could only break out in cold sweat.
It is less than 700 miles from Runing to Anlu. It took Chen Chizhong two days to gallop. The large army slowed down and will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Now that Gu Dayong has arrived in Anlu and has stopped, what about the imperial envoy and the guards of the capital? Is your destination somewhere other than Anlu?
Although the prince was frightened and uneasy, he thought that it was a blessing rather than a curse, and that he could not avoid it.
If there really is any turmoil, it won't just be in the Xingwang Palace. When the time comes, we will just have to act according to the situation. According to what Gu Dayong said, the palace also gives orders to the palace. What else can the palace do besides receiving the orders?
The prince did not send Chen Chizhong out of the palace again. Firstly, Chen Chizhong was really tired from traveling at starry night. Secondly, the imperial envoy was about to arrive, and the news from the capital was not that urgent for the palace.
But the feeling of waiting was not pleasant. After lunch, the prince sent someone to tell Dao Chi and Lu Bing to enter the alchemy room.
It was late spring, and there was still a fire burning in the alchemy room, making the room a little stuffy.
The Crown Prince did not hold the recipe for choosing the elixir, nor did he mean to instruct the two of them. He pushed open the windows, stood in front of the window, looked at the palace, and murmured: "It would be great if I could go to heaven and earth."
Dao Chi and Lu Bing looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
Your Majesty, you are so frightened.
The prince only said this, then he kept silent, pulled up a chair, and sat under the window to bask in the sun.
After a cup of tea, he yawned, turned around and said, "You two are playing by yourself first, I need to take a rest..."
Dao Chi and Lu Bing agreed in a low voice and did not go out immediately. There were round pillows and thin blankets in the alchemy room. Lu Bing found a thin blanket and stepped forward to cover the prince.
The prince opened his eyes and said, "It's such a hot day, why do we need this?" but he didn't take off the thin blanket on his body.
When he closed his eyes again and his breathing became evener, Dao Chi and Lu Bing tiptoed out of the alchemy room.
The two went to the storage room.
Lu Bing said worriedly: "Your Highness has dark circles under his eyes. He must have not had much rest in the past few days."
The Taoist idiot hesitated and said: "Suffering like this is not the answer. Since His Highness is so uneasy, why don't you send someone to the official post to find out what's going on?"
Lu Bing shook his head and said: "Gu Dayong has a bad reputation. No matter why he came to Anlu, His Highness will not collude with him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a stain on the reputation of the palace?"
After hearing this, the Taoist idiot stopped talking.
In the past few days, seeing that everyone was panicking, he couldn't help but want to speak several times to guide everyone in the direction of Chengsi. It can be seen that Yuan Zonggao, who was relied on by the prince, did not think of this, and he chose to remain silent.
"Brothers eventually marry younger brothers", even though it is listed in the "Ming Huidian", the emperors of all dynasties have always been "successors after the father dies." The few "brothers eventually marry younger brothers" that occasionally appeared in the past dynasties were full of blood and blood. Controversy. Especially during the period of the Yingzong and Daizong brothers of this dynasty, the imperial court was in turmoil for more than ten years.
If the Taoist idiot hadn't come from five hundred years in the future and knew this history, he wouldn't have thought that when the princes were scrambling to pass on their princes, princes, and grandchildren to the present day, the big bosses in the capital would mention "brothers eventually become brothers"?
The room was silent, except for the chirping of insects outside.
Lu Bing was agitated by the sound of the chirping insects. He stood up and said, "I'll catch the insects so that they don't disturb His Highness."
Dao Chi said: "Then I will go and guard His Highness."
Lu Bing didn't force him. He found a fishing net from the corner of the house and went out to catch the insects.
The Taoist idiot returned to the alchemy room, took a copy of the Book of Changes, and sat at the door of the alchemy room, but his thoughts were all on the prince.
King Xing's influence on the crown prince was so profound that the crown prince would only sleep well in the alchemy room after having trouble sleeping and eating.
It is extremely difficult to persuade him to change his mind after he has been cultivating his faith since childhood. Will the king he will face in the future grow up to be the alchemy emperor recorded in later generations? He promoted Yan Song, who was good at writing Qing Ci, and was used to testing medicine with close ministers?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a rustling sound outside.
Dao Chi stood up and looked at the door. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be startled.
It was the princess and the little princess who came, and Lu Bing followed behind with his head hanging down.
Dao Chi woke up and bowed.
The princess glanced at him and then looked at the prince.
The prince was sitting on the recliner, sleeping soundly.
The princess stepped forward, leaned over and lifted up the thin blanket on the prince's body. She looked at him distressedly for half a quarter of an hour before turning around. Before leaving the alchemy room, she motioned for Dao Chi and Lu Bing to follow.
The group of people returned to the storage room. The storage room smelled of herbs, and the princess frowned in disgust.
However, the alchemy room is just this large area, and there are no other rooms.
The princess looked at Dao Chi and said, "When did Your Highness come here? After that, we took a break. Did you say anything before we took a break?"
Dao Chi glanced at the hourglass on the window sill and said, "I've been here for more than half an hour, and I'm taking a break right now? Before His Highness took a break, he said that we should just play by ourselves, and he wanted to take a break?"
The princess' expression softened a little, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you are going to play, why are you still in the house? Didn't you go out to play with Lu Bing?"
The Taoist Chi glanced at Lu Bing and said, "I should have gone to catch song bugs with Lu Bing so as not to disturb His Highness's sleep. I was just afraid that His Highness would wake up and look for someone, so I didn't go away."
When the princess heard this, her eyes darkened, and she felt a little displeased with the Taoist idiot. But he and Lu Bing were the only ones around her son, so the princess had any scruples, so she snorted coldly: "Serve your highness well, and you must not kidnap your highness to believe in him."
Those who are heresy, otherwise they will not be spared lightly."
What else could Dao Chi and Lu Bing do besides just obey orders?
The little princess said softly: "Mother, my brother has not slept well these past two days and has not eaten well. He may be hungry after sleeping this time. Should he ask the kitchen to prepare more meals?"
The princess nodded, looked at Dao Chi and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring food over in a moment. When His Highness wakes up, I'll persuade him to use some. If His Highness doesn't wake up, let him sleep a little longer and don't disturb him."
Dao Chi bowed in response.
The princess got up, took the little princess with her, and turned around to go out.
The little princess was two steps behind and said softly to Lu Bing: "My mother-in-law cares about my brother, so she scolds Brother Lu. Brother Lu takes care of him for his sake, so he treats me with care."
Lu Bing said "hmm", but still looked a little disappointed.
The princess was already urging her from the front, and the little princess followed quickly and helped the princess down the mountain.
Seeing Lu Bing like this, the Taoist idiot said, "Didn't you explain that you went to catch song bugs for the sake of Your Highness?"
Lu Bing smiled bitterly and said: "If Erlang said this, the princess would believe it; if I said it, the princess would definitely think that I am just being clever."
In the past, there was no external pressure from the palace, so the princess would be idle and care about whether her son was too close to the wet nurse's family; when mother and son came to Beijing, there were so many people to deal with, how could she care about this.
Thinking of this, Dao Chi said: "She is the princess after all. No matter what she says, we just listen. As long as Your Highness understands, you don't need to mind anything else..."
I fell asleep last night, crying.
