Chapter 491

After the Lantern Festival, the weather is getting warmer.

The people in Beijing are also busy in the new year.

It's the imperial concubine who gave birth to her son.

After that, he summoned the head of the sun family to pacify him.

The content of his talk was nothing more than, "I trust you and your grandchildren. Sun's affairs have nothing to do with your Sun family. You can rest assured and continue to shine and heat for Dazhou

With the emperor's appeasement, the elders of the sun family were in tears.

Since last year's palace change, the sun family has carried a heart from top to bottom.

Although they were not involved with the East Palace and the Chu palace. But it's hard to see if your majesty will turn his anger on them.

When the Emperor gave the princess the death of sun, the sun family's concerns reached the highest point.

Now the emperor's appeasement completely dispelled their worries.

The chief of the sun family weeps and expresses his loyalty. The picture of the king and his ministers getting together is moving.

The reason why the emperor appeased the sun family was that the sun family was still useful, and King Ning did not intend to kill the sun family's flag after he ascended the throne.

If he is good at pacifying him, he will kill the sun's family as soon as he ascends the throne, then he will have no face.

The father and son had already discussed how to treat these ministers.

Who should be killed and who should be demoted? King Ning has a list in his mind.

He made a deal with the emperor, and now the emperor mends and mends according to the list of King Ning, clearing the way for the king of Ning to become emperor in the future.

King Ning often joked with the emperor, "the father loves his son deeply! We should let the king of Yan look at our father's benevolence and filial piety and ask him to reflect deeply. "

"Go away!"

The son of heaven is very sincere, Ning Wang even dare to make fun of him, more and more presumptuous.

King Ning took the opportunity to roll, to the court with the courtiers fighting wisdom and courage.

In the end, the emperor made Jiang Shuyi die.

Since the palace reform, Jiang Shuyi has been in a constant state of anxiety.

Especially when rumors spread that the child she and Li dehei were pregnant with was not the blood of the son of heaven, she was almost scared to death.

She made contributions, but not enough to let the emperor let her go.

These days, she has been on the edge.

She sat down on the ground and died.

It's over, it's over, it's all over.

"Zhou Miao, what should I do with this palace?"

"Does your mother want to live?"

"Of course. Who wants to die Jiang Shuyi's voice was trembling.

Zhou Miao squatted down and looked at Jiang Shuyi equally, "do you want to live after you live? You have to remain anonymous. You can't meet or recognize your mother's family for a lifetime. You can't even stay in the capital. After all, many people have seen you in Beijing. "

Jiang Shuyi grabbed Zhou Miao's sleeve and said, "as long as I can survive, I can endure all these things."

Zhou Miao laughed, "Niang, do you still remember the noble man I told you about? You are very satisfied with your performance in recent months. Saving your majesty is a great achievement. You don't want to see you die, so I'm willing to help you pretend to be dead

Jiang Shuyi covered her lips and her eyes widened. She was obviously shocked.

After a while, she came to her senses. "This noble man has such a great ability to help me pretend to be dead and get out of the palace?"

Zhou Miao nodded positively.

"Who is this noble man? Is it King Ning?"

"Zhou Miao shakes his head," you don't guess the identity of the noble. "

Since Jiang Shuyi gave birth to a ghost child and fell out of favor, everything she did, including taking refuge in Xue Guifei, was all done by Zhou Miao, who arranged Jiang Shuyi to do as she was told.

Jiang Shuyi took refuge in Xue Guifei. This move seemed insignificant, but it played a key role.

If Jiang Shuyi had not failed, the emperor would have died on the day of the palace change.

A small chess piece, in the critical moment, actually played a decisive role in the overall situation. It can be seen that chess players not only think far enough, but also think deeply enough.

Jiang Shuyi had many conjectures about the noble people in the mouth of Zhou Miao, but all of them were denied by Zhou Miao.

"Can I believe you?" asked Jiang Shuyi? Can I trust your noble? Isn't this gentleman trying to take the opportunity to kill me? "

Zhou Miao raised Jiang Shuyi's chin. "Your mission has been completed, and you are very satisfied with your performance, so I am willing to help you.

If you want to kill you, you can be ignored. Your Majesty's intention to be buried is still warm. The people who really killed you are rubbing their hands.

Of course, if you don't believe me, don't trust noble people, I will not force you. I'll leave now and watch you die from afar. "

"No, don't go. I didn't say I didn't believe you. I'm just curious about who you are

Zhou Miao chuckled, "Curiosity Kills the cat. If you want to live, you should be less curious. If you know your identity, you can only kill you if you don't want to. "Jiang Shuyi shivered all over for a moment, "OK, I don't ask about the status of the noble. How can you help me get out of the palace? "

Zhou Miao said, "Your Majesty asked you to die, not to die immediately. You wait patiently until your majesty dies.

Here is a medicine for feigning death. Before your Majesty's death and before the arrival of the palace people who will kill you, take this medicine as soon as you commit suicide.

Your majesty will be suspended for 21 days, but you, the day after your death, will be sent to the underground palace.

At that time, someone will help you out of the underground palace and wake you up. Then someone will send you out of the capital. "

"That's it? I just need to take this medicine at the critical moment? " Jiang Shuyi couldn't believe it.

Zhou Miao nodded, "the simpler you are, the better, so as not to arouse suspicion. The real trouble is to steal the sky and change the sun, which is a fatal thing. But you don't have to worry about it. Someone will arrange everything

Is it worth taking such a risk for me

"What do you say?"

Jiang Shuyi shook her head. "I'm a useless person. I don't need to take big risks to help me."

Zhou Miao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "you know. Therefore, you should cherish this opportunity. You don't want to chill the heart of the meritorious officials. Even if you take some risks, they are willing to help you. "

Jiang Shuyi opened her mouth and said, "can't you tell me who you are?"

Zhou Miao shook his head. If you insist on asking, then the plan will be cancelled, and no one will help you escape. "

Jiang Shuyi shook her head again and again, "I don't ask any more. My family there, I will tell them to leave the capital and return to their hometown. In the future, I will ask Mr. Zhou to take care of one or two and leave them a way to live. "

Zhou Miao said softly, "as long as your mother's family is in good order and don't make trouble, no one will go to them. If they don't settle down after they return to their hometown, it's no wonder that some people want to take their lives. "

"I know, I'll tell them to be honest, don't make trouble and talk nonsense."

"That's good."

Zhou Miao put the porcelain bottle into Jiang Shuyi's hand. "Remember, when you hear the bell ring, you can take medicine immediately. Be sure to take this medicine before the palace people arrive. "

Jiang Shuyi held the porcelain bottle tightly and nodded heavily, "I know."

A few days later, Jiang Shuyi began to arrange for the future.

When she met her mother's family, she told them to hurry out of Beijing and return to their hometown, leaving some property for her family.

After that, she collected all the gold and silver, and Zhou Miao helped her out of the palace and hid it in a house in the city.

As long as she escapes, the gold and silver will be the guarantee for the rest of her life.

Nervous day by day, Jiang Shuyi can not help but think of Gu Jiu.

She also wanted to ask Gu Jiu for help. However, Gu Jiuding would not interfere in life and death.

She could only hold her head down a little.

Before the first month, the emperor finally finished the last journey of his life.

In the thirty-eight years of kaiyao, on the 28th of the first month, in the afternoon, the son of heaven is dead!

The death knell sounded all over the city.

The official's wife immediately put on mourning clothes and went into the palace.

The people also put on plain clothes.

Restaurants, teahouses, brothels, all recreational occasions are closed.

Only those related to people's livelihood, such as grain and oil shops, can operate as usual.

King Ning accompanied the emperor to the end of the journey, looking sad.

All the other princes knelt on the ground.

Li Shizhong, together with the Duke of the state of Zhu, took out the imperial edict in front of King Zhenning and other civil and military officials, and announced to the world.

Ning Wang cried out loud, crying like a child of 200 kg.

Xiao Shufei fainted directly and was carried back to Changchun palace.

The courtiers tried to persuade the king of Ning to avoid grief.

At the same time, the Ministry of rites should prepare for the funeral ceremony and the grand ceremony of King Ning's accession to the throne.

A nation should not be without a monarch for a day. Funerals should be handled as well as the grand ceremony of its accession to the throne.

The Ministry of rites is not only busy but also needs to borrow people from other Yamen.

Li Shizhong bent down and said to King Ning, who was lying at the head of the bed, "the Ministry of Rites has chosen two days. One is to ascend the throne three days later, and the other is to ascend the throne ten days later. What do you think of it? "

Ning Wang wiped away his tears and asked, "is it time in three days?"

Li Shizhong said in a whisper: "time is too short. I'm afraid it's not thoughtful."

"Ten days later." King Ning made up his mind.

"I obey my orders."

Ning Wang looked back at the Ministry of Hubu Shangshu, "my father left his last words before he left. The funeral needs to be carried out wantonly. The expenses required shall be borne by the Ministry of housing. "

The Secretary of the Ministry of housing's facial features were wrinkled into a ball. "The Ministry of housing is empty, so we can only take out 200000 taels of emergency for the time being. Please understand the difficulties of the Ministry."

With that, the Minister of Hubu went to see the order of the Shaofu.

The young master is so rich, why does he not pay?Too much!

You will never take the initiative to take care of the funeral.

Ning Wang said: "the father and the emperor sympathized with the difficulties of the household department, and the rest of the money needed was borne by the Shao Fu."

The Minister of the Ministry of finance is very happy. Good, good! Of course, he didn't dare to laugh, but he was happy in his heart.

The young master bowed down to take orders, "Lord, don't worry, the young master is ready to pay for the expenses of the Ministry of rites."

"That's good."

King Ning took his sons and grandchildren to observe filial piety. When Liangyi hall was ready, everyone moved to Liangyi hall to guard filial piety.

Gu Jiu and the women's dependents are together, kneeling in the spirit hall crying.

She was lucky that Gu Shan had been married to the Duke of Zhu.

Otherwise, it will take two years.

Because when the emperor's filial piety period is over, Gu's filial piety has passed.

When the son of heaven passed away, the officials' family members could not marry within 100 days.

The people were not allowed to marry within 27 days.

Pei's kneeling in the front, Gu Jiuju left behind her.

Pei wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, whimpering and sobbing, very sad.

Several princesses and princesses also cried bitterly.

Only princess Huyang was sad and happy.

Gu Jiu had to remind her that she handed her spare handkerchief to Princess Huyang, "aunt wipe the corners of her eyes."

Huyang Princess nodded, picked up Gu Jiu's handkerchief and guessed, tears brush down.

On this handkerchief, I don't know how much ginger juice is prepared, which makes Princess Huyang's eyes ache.

In the twinkling of an eye, Princess Huyang became the one who cried most bitterly.

After crying, she couldn't help but grasp Gu Jiu's hand and exert herself.

Gu Jiu bares his teeth and grins. Is revenge so strong.

Two hours later, people went back to the side hall to rest and eat under the tea gallery.

Corridor food is the working meal in the palace. The taste is ordinary, better than hot. It's better than a palace banquet.

Gu Jiu found that the imperial dining room may really have a strong complaint about the Palace Banquet.

The food and wine of the Palace Banquet can't even be compared with the food in the corridor.

The food in the gallery is hot at least, and the food and wine in the Palace Banquet are always cold.

After eating the food in the corridor, people finally recovered a little physical strength and spirit.

We can have a rest for half an hour. We all seize the time to squint for a while.

Huyang Princess found Gu Jiu and said in a whisper, "your handkerchief is too fierce. This palace still wants to cry

Gu Jiu said: "I'm not afraid that my aunt can't cry, so I specially prepare a powerful one."

"Hum! How could I not cry when my father passed away. This palace just needs time to develop emotions. "

"Yes, yes, I misunderstood my aunt. My aunt might as well give me the handkerchief. "

"No Huyang Princess opened his mouth and refused, "I have used the handkerchief, but I haven't cleaned it. How can I return it to you like this?"

"I don't mind," Gu said

Huyang Princess hummed, "this palace mind."

After a pause, she asked, "how many handkerchiefs have you prepared?"

Gu Jiu took out the handkerchief from the sleeve, "there are still three left, can aunt want?"

"Give me another one."

Gu Jiu gave Huyang princess a handkerchief, and promised to smoke it. Tears fell like no money.

While there was still time, Gu Jiu went to visit Gu Fu and Hou Fu.

The young lady of Hou's family, Mrs. Zhou, has a big stomach. She is going to have a baby soon. She has to go into the palace to cry. She is miserable.

Gu Jiu is very worried, quietly holding Zhou's wrist, for her pulse, "can sister-in-law still hold?"

Mrs. Zhou's face was a little pale. "She could hold on, but she was a little tired."

Gu Jiu, together with the old lady Wei, the older and the younger, said, "let's go through the day first, and I'll try to find a way to avoid the crying of sister-in-law in the lobby. She can't be on her knees for a long time

Thank you again and again. What she was most afraid of was that the Zhou family had a long history and two short comings, and that the last body was two lives.

The old lady, Wei Shi, thought more about it? If it's too difficult, we'll find another way. "

Gu Jiu loosened Zhou's wrist and was overworked. He had to stay in bed for two days and eat some good food.

"I'll try it first, if not, I'll try something else," she said

"Xiao Jiu has worked hard."

"No hard work."

Gu Jiu looks for Pei and Xiao Shufei, and tells us that Zhou, the young lady of the Marquis, is pregnant in August. She has been crying for a long time for fear of hurting her body.

Heaven has a good life. It's better to avoid her rules and treat it as a blessing.

Xiao Shufei said, "the Hou's house is your mother's family. It's appropriate for you to come forward for the Hou's house. How can it be an exception just because you are pregnant. I can't hold on for a few days. "

"My mother doesn't know. The eldest grandson of the Marquis's mansion has no children all these years. There is no doubt that Zhou's birth is of great importance to Hou's residence. Please be kind to your mother and let the Zhou family go back to the house and have a rest. ""If this palace does not agree?" Xiao Shufei asked with a straight face.

Gu Jiu raised his head and said, "sun's daughter-in-law can only ask the Lord to show mercy and let Zhou's family go back to the house for rest."

"You are presumptuous

Gu Jiu bowed his head and grinned. "Your Majesty has been dead for twenty-one days. Your mother is sure to make a case of one corpse and two lives to add misfortune to the palace?"

Xiao Shufei was very angry.

She has the intention to suppress Gu Jiu, but Gu Jiu is so bold as to contradict her.

Just waiting for her voice to scold, Pei said first: "Niang, don't be angry. The Zhou family, as his daughter-in-law saw, had a big belly and was very heavy.

The empress is very kind and allows her to go back to the mansion for rest. All the people in the Marquis are are grateful for her grace. Besides, the king has not ascended the throne. Our family should not make rumors of discord at this time. "

Xiao Shufei frowns and stares at Pei.

Pei's taking the place of Gu Jiu means a few things.

Pei, of course, wants to fight for power with Xiao Shufei.

When King Ning ascended the throne, Xiao Shufei became the Empress Dowager.

Pei is the queen of Weiyang palace.

The queen and the Empress Dowager naturally do not deal with them.

In the past, one lived in the harem and the other lived in the palace. It was rare for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to see each other. With the wolves around, they could get along well.

Now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live together in the harem, and the contradiction is inevitable.

Pei thought very clearly, to help Gu Jiu is to help himself.

After she lived in the harem, many things are not convenient to come forward, but also have to let Gu Jiu run errands for her.

Today, she took a small test of ox knife, and broke with Xiao Shufei, and established a tree of authority.
