Chapter 77 Increasingly(1/3)
The typo has been corrected
***************************
On the tenth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Yonghe's reign, the prince's posthumous title was announced, and a day was chosen for the funeral.
But this time, there was no edict issuing a general amnesty at the same time, which also confirmed the court's anger at the murder of the prince.
On August 11, the imperial court issued another imperial edict to adopt King Fang Wei of Jin'an County as the prince and establish him as the crown prince. Since both the emperor and the queen mother were holy and disobedient, the country could not live without a king for a day, so in addition to the two imperial edicts on the adoption and the appointment of the crown prince,
He also issued an edict for the prince to supervise the country.
The number of carriages entering Beijing gradually increased, and the inn and posthouse became lively, welcoming guests from all over the country.
"...I really didn't expect that I came here for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wedding, but the happy event turned into a funeral."
"…The clan from Wuyue came to Beijing much earlier than us. Have you met Prince Yanping?"
"...I came early and left early. I said I was sick and couldn't get up. I left Beijing and went back to Wuyue yesterday."
Two clan members in the corridor laughed and whispered. At this point, one of them smiled meaningfully.
"...It's not all a funeral, there are also happy events." He said, "To catch up with the prince's funeral, and also to catch up with the new crown prince's canonization, it really kills two birds with one stone. It saves us running back and forth, maybe..."
When he said this, he looked around and lowered his voice.
"Maybe we can even catch up with the new emperor's enthronement ceremony."
The other person heard this and hurriedly stretched out his hand to slap him and shush him.
"That's not something you can say." He whispered, looking around.
"Why can't you say it?" The first clan member laughed in a low voice, "Why can't others say what I did?"
Although a few days have passed since the Palace Incident, and the curfew in the capital has been lifted, the death of Prince Xuanwen and the rebellion of Gao Lingbo and Chen Shao have just spread in the capital. That night was full of fireworks, cannonballs and garrison.
The melee between the army and the soldiers on the street added a lot of mystery to the incident, comparable to the candlelight ax shadow of Taizu Taizong.
"...But in this way, the position of emperor has returned to the lineage of Taizu."
They said that someone was crowding next to them.
"Don't talk nonsense." The visitor warned, "I heard that he is not only from Taizu's lineage, but also has Taizu's legacy in his actions."
He said this to Wainunou.
"How did Prince Yanping leave? He was escorted away by soldiers. He really didn't save any face."
This is the first time everyone has heard about this. We thought it was the Prince of Yanping County who avoided it on his own, but we didn't expect that it was the Prince of Jin'an County. No, Prince Wei didn't give him face.
The two looked surprised.
"We have started to supervise the country, and our attitude is very tough." The man continued in a low voice, "Yesterday, I reprimanded a minister and threw a memorial on his head in front of everyone in the court."
After hearing this, the two of them looked even more surprised.
"Here, after following His Majesty for so long, why do you have such a bad temper?" they said in surprise, "Where is the slightest bit of His Majesty's generosity and kindness?"
The man nodded at them.
"So, everyone, please be careful." He whispered, "Don't be killed like a chicken."
As they were talking, they heard a commotion outside the door.
"Princess Xiu has arrived."
Princess Xiu! The biological mother of the prince!
"Did Princess Xiu also come to the post house?" People in the hall asked one after another.
"No." said the person who came in from outside. "Of course I went to the prince's residence."
"Can she enter the East Palace? Although the queen does not listen to politics, she still holds the jade seal. Isn't this a slap in the queen's face?"
"Isn't it possible that the Puyi dispute will begin before you ascend the throne?"
The hall immediately became abuzz with chatter.
"If it is really Taizu's legacy and his strong character, then it's really hard to say." A person in the corridor on the second floor shook his head and sighed.
In the midst of the chaos, another burst of excitement was heard outside.
"No, no." Someone ran in and said, "Princess Xiu was driven back."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"...I was stopped outside the gate..."
“….I didn’t even let you in through the door…”
"... He said that if you want to have an audience, you can request it from the palace... There is no reason to meet in private, let alone stay in the prince's palace..."
"...Princess Xiu left crying..."
More news spread in the hall.
The two people who originally spoke looked at each other.
"I didn't expect that the first chicken to be killed was Princess Xiu." One person murmured.
And the discussion about this matter in the hall also became noisy.
"It's really too much. Her biological mother should be treated like this. She's just trying to gain fame, but she doesn't even care about the most basic human ethics."
"Yes, yes, it's too much."
The people on the second floor laughed and pointed downstairs.
"Did you see that there are two ways of saying the same thing?" He said, "No matter how you do it, some people will say it is wrong. Seeing it is unfilial, and not seeing it is also unfilial. It is difficult to be a good person and do things."
"It seems like it would be better for the prince to have a tougher personality." The person next to him said with a smile, "Otherwise, with such an adopted status and such a chaotic rise to power, if he has a soft personality, he will definitely be restrained and drooled.
Kill him."
"Oh, by the way." The person from before thought of something again and looked outside, "The prince hasn't moved into the East Palace yet? Still living in the Prince's Mansion?"
"Yes." The man nodded, "It is said that the Crown Princess is not in good health and it is not appropriate to relocate."
"Isn't the Crown Princess a miraculous doctor? Why is she in poor health?" The first person said with a smile, "Is it because doctors don't heal themselves?"
"Then I don't know." The man shook his head, "The prince travels between the palace and the prince's palace every day. All court affairs are handled in the emperor's palace. No foreigners are seen in the palace and no court affairs are discussed. The wives are not allowed to visit."
"That's really strange." The first person smiled and looked out the door, "So the funeral of Prince Xuanwen and the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince mean that the crown prince will not be seen."
It's a bit of a pity.
………………………………………….
"What's so busy outside?" Banqin asked, looking out and holding a bowl of soup in his hand.
"It's nothing." Su Xin said, "It doesn't concern us."
Their job now is to protect and serve their wives, and they don't need to worry about anything outside.
"How is the Crown Princess today?" Su Xin asked.
Banqin lowered his head with a depressed expression.
Su Xin sighed and stopped asking. The two of them turned around and walked into the hall. At a glance, they saw Zhou Hui sitting indoors.
Zhou Xueyi seemed to have fallen asleep by closing his eyes for a few moments, but when Ban Qin and Su Xin approached the inner room, he suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw it was them, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared and he closed his eyes again.
.
"Sixth Young Master." Su Xin stepped forward and said, "Go and have a rest, we are here."
Zhou Hui ignored it.
Banqin shook her head at Su Xin, and Su Xin stopped talking. The two of them helped Cheng Jiaoniang give the medicine and wiped her hands and face.
"...My wife's injury healed very quickly."
"Yes, it's time to change the dressing again tomorrow, right?"
The two of them talked in a low voice.
"I remember the past." Banqin said, "That time, my wife suddenly fell asleep and fell asleep."
Before Su Xin could answer, someone spoke first.
"no the same."
Su Xin and Ban Qin turned to look at Zhou Hui.
"It's different." Zhou Hui said again.
That time it was coma, this time it was injury, that time it was because of herself, this time it was because of him.
Zhou Hao closed his eyes tightly.
"But it was also very dangerous that time. Neither the imperial doctor nor the doctor could do anything. Later, it was His Royal Highness who woke the lady up with just one sentence." Su Xin continued, smiling.
Banqin nodded and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang on the couch.
Although his face was still pale, it was not as scary as the previous few days.
