Emperor Que Shaohua

Emperor Tianyi rewarded King Jing, and what he issued was a clear decree, which can be said to shake the government and the public.Although on the day of the birthday, some caring people had faintly seen the omen, but no one expected that the emperor's attitude would change so drastically.As gold, pearls and jade flowed into the Jingwang Mansion, which had been deserted for many years, people really realized that the situation in which the emperor deliberately ignored Jingwang in the past should be over.

On the third day of May, the news that Emperor Tianyi summoned King Jing to the imperial study was not a secret, and it spread like wildfire. The courtiers all speculated that maybe the father and son had a long talk, which untied their knots; or It is said that King Jing has regained the favor of Emperor Xin.However, the weight of this kind of favor and how much impact it will have on the court situation is worth pondering.In Emperor Tianyi's will, he only praised King Jing's character and allowed him to return to court, but he didn't mention his talent and ability, and he didn't give him a real job. From this point of view, the Holy One should just let him idle down. Not intended to be used.Therefore, although Luo Yanhua is the eldest son, his return to the court should have no real impact on the crown prince whose name has been determined earlier.

But these speculations do not reassure everyone. After all, it is a big event, and who knows what will happen in the future.

Neither the crown prince nor King An could see anything unusual on their faces. It was said that the crown prince's East Palace was brightly lit that night, but this was a common occurrence and could not explain anything.Wang An seemed to have closed the door and dropped a few cups, but this was commonplace for him.Therefore, it can barely be said that the waves are calm.

In the next few days, Prince Jing's Mansion received a steady stream of congratulatory gifts.Among them are the East Palace and Prince An's Mansion.The crown prince sent a pair of regular Ru kiln plum vases, but King An did not have such a magnanimity. Instead, he sent several exquisitely fired colorful glazed flower pots, which were colorful, and meant to mock him that he could only grow flowers in the mansion.King Jing saw it, and couldn't help smiling, feeling that although Luo Junping was narrow-minded and impetuous, he was not completely lacking in quality in his actions, and sometimes he was witty, so he ordered to put it away and plant flowers in the future.

He was not surprised by the rewards in the palace. When Emperor Tianyi wanted to win over others, he had always done a good job, but the stalemate between the two sides was too long, and it happened suddenly, which was somewhat unaccustomed, and the courtiers probably felt caught off guard.

There are also quite a few courtiers who came to visit, most of them are of lower rank, who came to find out the truth, and those with higher ranks are still waiting and watching.King Jing had a low-grade fever for three days since he came back from the palace to pray for his birthday, and he just got better. When he heard that someone came to the door, he said, "I'm not feeling well, and I don't see any visitors."

Qin Shuang was at the side, and immediately responded: "I'll tell Yang Yue." He and Qin Su stayed in the mansion and did not meet with outsiders.He just turned around, and said again: "Ruohan asked me to bring some snacks to the Lord, and wanted to come to the mansion to see her, I think she was very worried."

Luo Yanhua knew that Bai Ruohan came quietly when he was sick a few days ago, but he didn't have the energy to see her at that time, and at this time, there were too many eyes and ears staring at Jing Wang's mansion, so he shook his head: "Ruohan is too conspicuous, It is easy to be noticed when going in and out, let her stay in the building well, it is not suitable to see each other now." Then asked: "Is there any contact from Jinling, has Xie Feng left?"

Qin Shuang smiled and said: "Master Xie Shao has long been ready to go, and his subordinate Fei Ge passed the letter on the fourth day of the junior high school. He set off the next day, and brought a group of people to Luo City to check the accounts. He planned to do a big job. Fan. It’s just a little farther away, and it takes another ten and a half months to get there.”

He was so excited that King Jing couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and said: "Don't think too easily, there are a lot of troubles. Send him a letter and tell him not to hurry too much. He can walk as he wants, don't worry about it." It seems too hasty. There are still some things that have not been settled here, so there is no need to rush for a day or two."

Qin Shuang knew his temperament, he said lightly, but his mind was heavy, so every word needs to be added some weight to his ears, and he agreed, and couldn't help but said: "The lord will need to take care of it for a few days before he can take care of him." yes."

King Jing nodded, signaling that he could step down, but he was thinking about another thing: the prince had a deep friendship among the courtiers, and he had the intention of forming his own faction, and most of the generals in the army supported King Yun.From who Emperor Tianyi appoints to assist him, he should be able to see some of the emperor's current thoughts and attitudes, which will also affect the way he acts.Based on his understanding of Emperor Tianyi, a candidate appeared in his heart, and he didn't know if it would be as he thought.

A few days after King Jing returned to the court, the mansion gradually returned to calm.The people who came to visit found that he closed the door to thank the guests, and the courtiers also noticed that after the sixth day of May, although King Jing came to the early court once, he didn't say anything, standing quietly at the head of the crown prince, Tianyi Emperor didn't seem to care. Why do you care about his existence.These preliminarily confirmed the earlier speculation - although King Jing's situation has improved, he should be just an idle prince.

However, at this moment, Emperor Tianyi issued another decree: Prince Ning Luo Pingyuan, who is both civil and military, has a deep temperament and is worthy of a heavy responsibility, temporarily governs Jing Yuwei.I also thought that King Ning had just returned when he was young, and he had no mansion yet, so he gave him the mansion of King Jing.

The first half of this edict is very clear, but the second half is quite confusing.Although Luo Pingyuan is young and talented, he has always been a celebrity in front of Emperor Tianyi since his return. Everyone saw him as low-key and calm, but occasionally he performed very amazingly. They thought that the emperor would not put the fifth prince there. No need, there will be appointments, sure enough, Jing Yuwei was appointed, but why should he be ordered to live in Prince Jing's Mansion at the same time?

The senior ministers in the court remembered that when the fifth prince was young, due to the lower status of his birth mother, he was raised by Empress Langhuan until he was ten years old, so he was quite close to the eldest son Luo Yanhua, and his affection was stronger than that of other princes. Much more intimate and intimate.But after King Ning returned to Beijing, he was extremely indifferent to King Jing, and his attitude was far different from that of other emperor brothers.Because of King An's relationship, many people heard the sarcastic remarks he made in front of Luo Yanhua when he went to Prince Jing's mansion for the only time. It is said that King Jing almost fell ill with anger.Now the emperor ordered Ning Wang to move from Dingjianhou's mansion where he lived well to Jing Wang's place. No matter how weird it looks, it is really unpredictable.

What King Jing received was a metaphor, and he was simply informed that King Ning would live in, and there was only a wry smile in his heart for a while.He thought that Emperor Tianyi might throw the problem of Jing Yuwei to King Ning. After all, Luo Pingyuan has a background of the Hanshan faction and has no foundation in the court. He has to rely on the emperor's support for everything. rest assured.He also thought that Luo Pingyuan might be assigned to assist him, but he didn't expect Emperor Tianyi to be so ruthless. Without Yang Yue, he sent King Ning directly to the mansion and put him next to him every day, knowing that there was a relationship between them. The knot is so deep that it is difficult to untie.This royal father is really not a general obsession with the art of checks and balances.

It seems that it is very difficult for Jing Wangfu to return to tranquility as he wished.He sighed, and had no choice but to ask Yang Yue to tidy up a courtyard for King Ning, and said, "It can't be too close to Lancangju, where I live, and it shouldn't be too far away. You don't have to walk the same way in and out, can it be done?"

The courtyards in the mansion are limited. Yang Yue pondered for a while and found that there was no choice. He replied: "Then the West Courtyard is fine. Fortunately, my subordinates just found someone to repair it a few days ago."

King Jing felt that the distance was a bit close, but thinking about the situation in the mansion, he couldn't send King Ning to live in the corner of the back garden, so he agreed, saying: "It's a bit simpler, let's make a plaque."

He went to the desk and dipped his pen in ink, and wrote the three characters Hanxiaozhai.

When Yang Yue saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't know why Your Highness chose this name?" I don't know what King Ning would think when he saw it.

King Jing said: "The distant mountain is smiling, the fifth emperor's younger brother left Cuiping Mountain, maybe sometimes he will still remember the friendship between the teacher and the school, let's just make it a scene."

He didn't want to get close to Luo Pingyuan now, he wanted to stay far away, so as not to get him involved in various troubles prematurely.If he were Emperor Tianyi and wanted to cultivate the young King Ning, he would not rashly appoint Jing Yuwei to be in charge. Being in the vortex, he would only be allowed to enter one of the six departments, such as the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Households, to do some practical things and accumulate experience. Precipitate mind.It can be seen from this that although Emperor Tianyi was kind to King Ning, he only wanted to treat him as a pawn in his heart and didn't cherish him very much.In the eyes of that person, who is not a pawn and cannot be discarded?However, even though the world is like chess, everyone has seven emotions and six desires. If you always regard others as pawns, no matter how hard you try, you will end up missing a move when you make a pawn.

King Jing was not the only one who had a headache after receiving the decree.If Luo Yanhua still knew what was going on, Luo Pingyuan really didn't understand the situation.Emperor Tianyi called him to the imperial study on the day after his birthday and explained the matter of Jing Yuwei. King Ning originally declined on the grounds that he was too young and had no intention of taking on this important task, but Emperor Tianyi said to him: "Jing Yuwei Wei currently has two deputy commanders. The position of commander is vacant. I only want you to take it temporarily until I find a suitable candidate. I will not directly award this position to you. If you see an ideal person, you can also recommend it to me. "And sighed: "This matter has not been settled, and I really have trouble sleeping and eating."

Luo Pingyuan saw that the sacred will was difficult to violate, so he could only agree, but he never expected that Emperor Tianyi's imperial decree was issued, and at the same time he granted Jingwang Mansion.

When he learned that King Jing was returning to the court, King Ning sat in his room and thought for an hour.Thinking of Luo Yanhua who met on the day of his birthday, and the answer: Think what I think, do what I can, but I can't tell you yet.He looked calm that day, but Luo Pingyuan could feel that King Jing's entry into the palace was definitely not to sit and have a birthday banquet in Changle Palace.

There are many fragments in his mind: the memories of his early years, what he saw and heard after returning to Los Angeles, and Lang Huan.When he was in the Hanshan School, he seldom heard news from Luocheng, and even less about King Jing, but he never forgot about this imperial brother.There were much more rumors in the Jianghu, and he had vaguely wondered what happened to the Twelve Orders of Langhuan, and what they planned to do, did they disappear forever, or were they really gone?Luo Pingyuan only knew that King Jing was left alone in Luo City, Emperor Tianyi ignored him, and Lang Huan no longer cared about him. This further confirmed his impressions and memories of his early years: Empress Jiang Biyao Collaborating with the enemy and treason not only betrayed Yuzhou, but also harmed Langhuan.

Master Master Hanshan is extremely opposed to his wild thinking. Every time he notices his distracting thoughts, he will be severely punished. Facing the wall and thinking about mistakes is light, and he warned: "You need to see with your own eyes and listen with your own ears. , and sometimes, seeing and hearing are not enough to draw a conclusion, you have to feel it with your heart, and don’t listen to one side and believe it, and be swayed by emotions. If you haven’t even done the first step, random thinking will only lead you astray.”

Mo Hanshan has been teaching strictly for eight years, but he never mentioned anything related to the court, the court, or his life experience. He didn't even show him the verses of Pavilion Master Xuanji, but taught him: "The matter of astrology is just a sign. It is man-made. You must believe it or blindly believe it. Even if you hear about it in the future, you don't have to keep it in your heart. If you don't know it, you know it. If you indulge in it, you will waste yourself in vain."

Luo Pingyuan lost interest in the gatha after being told, and didn't bother to inquire about its content. I just felt that although the master cultivated a state of mind that is not happy with things or sad with oneself, he loves to play tricks too much. .But I haven't comprehended these realms yet, so I still can't help being concerned, moved by emotion, happy with things and sad with myself.For example, facing King Jing, I always feel unspeakable unhappiness and irritability in my heart, especially I don't like that kind of tranquility and peace.

Therefore, facing the imperial decree, King Ning was really startled and troubled. After thanking him, he went to the palace to seek an audience, mainly to find out the intention of his father.

Emperor Tianyi should have expected him to come, and said meaningfully: "Go and see and think more, if he says something to you, listen to it carefully, if you need your help to do something, try your best to arrange to do it. If you have any difficulties with Jing Yuwei, you can also mention it to him and see how much he is willing to help. If you encounter difficulties or things you don't understand, you can report to me at any time."

This remark did not play tricks, but when Luo Pingyuan came out from the palace, it was still clouded.What he can be sure of is that not only will he have to live with King Jing, but he will also have to communicate with him frequently, and it seems that he has to help each other.But what can King Jing need help with, and what can he do for himself?He suddenly remembered that Qin Su had returned to King Jing's mansion, and maybe there were still a few of the old Langhuan people who stayed by King Jing's side.Judging from the meaning of Emperor Tianyi's words, it seemed that he wanted him to report more about King Jing's movements. Could it be that he was sent there for surveillance purposes?

His Royal Highness Prince Ning said not long ago that he would never go to King Jing’s Mansion again, but now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he had to go back to Dingjianhou’s Mansion to sort out all the things, and then send someone to King Jing to ask when he can move. past.

Lin Chen was extremely reluctant, and couldn't be cheerful for a while, so he could only help with the care, stroked the pure white and smooth fur of the little fox, and muttered: "I have never been to Prince Jing's Mansion. The wearability is not enough, why did you let you live there?" Then he said: "I don't know when your mansion will be completed."

The Ministry of Industry and Qin Tianjian conducted a survey and calculation, and selected several locations for the future Prince Ning's Mansion. Emperor Tianyi checked it out and selected the location due to the north of Chonghua Palace, which is relatively far away from the Prince's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion. Far, but closer to Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Yun's Mansion in the northeast, I don't know if it was intentional or not.

Luo Pingyuan said: "The site has just been selected, and we still need to survey and map, and then let the Qin Tianjian decide a date before we can break ground. Therefore, it is still very early." He comforted: "Even if I move, it is still possible I often come and go, how about you come and see me more when you have time?"

Lin Chen glanced at the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, feeling quite depressed, and said in a low voice: "I am telling you in private that something is wrong with my father. I heard that you are going to live in Prince Jing's Mansion, so he called me to give a lecture last night, saying Although we have a good friendship, we might as well meet outside, if we go to Prince Jing's mansion, it will be somewhat inconvenient."

Luo Pingyuan was hesitant when he heard what he said, unlike usual, he knew that Ding Jianhou's original words were probably not so gentle, and asked: "What taboo does Hou Ye have, if you say trouble, I have more business now, so I will live in the past It is inevitable that many people will come to the door in the future, why don't you come and see what is the matter?"

Lin Chen shook his head, thinking that Hou Dingjian's words were vague and serious, and he strictly ordered himself to avoid Prince Jing's mansion, implying that it would be better to distance himself from Prince Ning, so he became depressed: "He didn't say clearly, But I think, maybe it’s because I’m afraid that the prince will not like it if he finds out. But you just live in another place, and my father’s thoughts are too heavy.”

He paused, then cheered up again: "No matter what, after you settle down, you will always go to visit. Father can't control what I do outside."

Luo Pingyuan nodded and said: "I have nothing to do with Brother Huang, don't bring me together with him." He thought that Ding Jianhou was probably worried that Lin Chen would be involved in power disputes, so it could be seen that although he acted like a disgruntled The straight minister who stood by, but in fact he still made friends with the crown prince. Judging from the situation in the court, it is understandable to do so.It's just that although King Jing returned to the court, he was down and out after all, and he was idle. I don't know why Ding Jianhou cared so much.

Lin Chen glanced at him when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "Leave aside what my father meant, just talk about you, I'm actually a little worried about you moving to Prince Jing's Mansion."

"What are you worried about? I'm afraid I won't have anyone to accompany me, and I won't be able to eat or live well. Do you think I can't take care of myself?" Luo Pingyuan laughed.

"None." Lin Chen hesitated to speak, and finally said: "I just have a feeling that I can't express. I know that you are not on good terms with King Jing, and you seldom mention him, but you just need to talk about it. They are all imperial brothers, not His Royal Highness King Jing, nor Big Imperial Brother, as if you only have one imperial brother. To the other highnesses, you call them His Royal Highness Prince, His Royal Highness King An, or Second Royal Brother , Brother Sanhuang. Maybe I’m thinking too much, you’re so powerful now, you’re already in charge of Jing Yuwei, so you shouldn’t be at a disadvantage.”

King Ning was taken aback this time, he had never noticed this before, only after thinking about it did he realize it was true, and said with a self-mockery: "I just got used to screaming since I was a child, and I can't think of changing it for a while."

He patted Lin Chen on the shoulder. After returning to Los Angeles, he had only one friend.Unexpectedly, Lin Chen is free and easy on weekdays, but he is actually a careful person. He is not inferior to his father, but he doesn't care enough about him, so he said: "I will be careful. In a few days, you must come to see my new residence, you and I Are you still worried about not having a chance to meet? In the middle of next month, my father is going to hunt in the Wulan paddock, and we should all be with him. By the way, Xue Ning will also go. She must have just finished copying the scriptures at that time, and she was very bored, so she happened to come out for a walk Relax."

General Lin Shao's eyes lit up, then his face flushed, he coughed lightly and said, "Very good, very good, let's go together, what are you talking about Her Royal Highness?"

Seeing his embarrassment, Luo Pingyuan didn't realize it, so he laughed, and most of his depressed mood dissipated.

On May [-]th, King Ning was ordered to move into King Jing's mansion and lived in Hanxiaozhai. Apart from a cart of books and four guards, King Ning brought a pure Jun sword, a water pearl, and a treasure named Zhen. white little fox.
