Chapter 155, The Ministry of Industry Washes Together
Mr. Qi lived to be in his forties and never went to a border town. However, Zhaoyong County Prince's Palace had never been to Beijing without this disaster.
First, they exchanged official documents, and in their fascination, they secretly thought they were close friends. Then they exchanged letters on official business. The two parties had never met. Unless Mr. Qi said it, no one should know that they were friends.
The two brothers searched carefully and found that there was a courtyard wall outside the east corner door of Qi's house that was not under surveillance. The brothers had a small dispute.
"Brother, I'm going. If the momentum is not right, you can leave the capital tomorrow and save me."
"Second brother, I am the eldest son. If I take the risk to meet Mr. Qi, he will be moved."
"Brother, the prince cannot make mistakes. It doesn't matter if something happens to me, brother."
"I'm the eldest brother, you listen to me."
"Brother,"
"Shut up, I am the Crown Prince, and now I order you to obey my military orders."
"No, brother, a man came out of the Qi family wall."
The middle-aged man looked around cautiously, carefully climbed over the courtyard wall, and then picked up another middle-aged man. He was dressed like a servant in front and a master in the back.
The Lei brothers in the corner waited for them to approach, and each of them took down one of them like a tiger descending the mountain. One hand held his neck and the other covered his mouth: "Who is that person!"
"I'll fight with you bastards!" The middle-aged man in the master's clothes stammered.
Lei Fengyong and Lei Fengyun looked at each other and said in a low voice: "On March 3rd, there will be three thousand new weapons. The escort agency will be lucky, so be careful to collect them."
"Ah?" Qi Xi blinked. This was a private message in a letter exchanged with Prince Zhaoyong. How did you know?
"I have met Mr. Qi. I am the heir apparent of Zhaoyong County. This is my seal." Lei Fengyong took it out of his arms and handed it over.
Qi Xi quickly looked at it and believed it quickly: "Hello, gentlemen, this is not the place to talk. Follow me step by step and come to my house to talk."
"Wherever you want to go, sir, we will escort you there."
"I wanted to see if the escort agency that transported weapons to you on March 3rd last year was open and asked them to bring a message to your home. It would be best if you came. Come on, come on, don't move around. I'll take a step and you go.
step."
The four of them climbed over the courtyard wall and entered Qi's house. After landing, Qi showed a look of fear: "Fortunately, no one discovered us, otherwise you two would have lost your lives in Beijing."
"Sir, please clarify, what is going on?" Lei Fengyong and Lei Fengyun looked at each other and fell to their knees on the ground.
"Get up, get up. I want to ask who specifically usurped the throne. I can't tell now."
Qi Xi took them all the way back to the room and talked all the way.
"The late emperor has been seriously ill, and has been getting better and worse. All the officials have asked him to appoint an heir to the throne. Of course, he should be the royal highness born from the empress."
Lei Fengyong and Lei Fengyun nodded together: "It should be like this, my family is also the head of the family." If there are no concubines in his family, there is no such thing as a concubine.
"But the two Concubines Yu seem to have a handle on His Highness, and prefer His Highness the Third. Some people say that there is a girl in the Yu family who has just grown up, and the Third Highness planned to go to discuss marriage this year."
Lei Fengyong frowned: "The concubine of the Yu Cun family?"
"Who is not from his family, who dares to stop the establishment of the emperor's heir?" Qi Xi glared: "Although Master Yu has resigned from office for many years, his foundation in the court is still very deep, so Zhang Lin was the first to send people out of the capital.
I'm afraid it's him who's in trouble."
"Please tell me what's going on with Zhang Lin, why did you bring my family in to talk?" Lei Fengyun said with urgency on his face.
Qi Xi smiled: "Seeing you like this, I can rest assured. When I heard the news, I didn't believe a word of it. If your family is going to have a person who ascends the throne, there will be some leaks in the correspondence, you know?
?The night the news came out, I went through all the letters from your family and considered every word."
"Please rest assured, sir. My third brother and my whole family all feel that Guiziguan is a happier place and have no interest in going to Beijing."
Lei Fengyun followed his brother closely: "Sir, please explain this matter in detail."
"Well, the late emperor has been ill for several years. The two concubines Yu and the empress have been fighting each other. There are also several uncles and brothers in the capital, each using their own tricks. Your highness can't do what you want. Sometimes when they meet, you can see their complexions.
I am so violent here, and I want to speak privately to you. I don’t agree with His Highness’s ascension to the throne, but I don’t see the merits of His Highness the Second and His Highness The Third. A king is only benevolent and virtuous, but His Highnesses will never leave the capital or enter.
It seems inconvenient for ordinary people to show kindness."
"That's what my lord said."
Mr. Qi fell into deep thought: "That day, it was extremely cold, and the imperial doctor was called frequently in the palace. The officials did not dare to neglect, and gathered at the palace gate to wait for the call. When an imperial doctor came out and said that the emperor was fine, he asked everyone to go home first. After all, it was just a matter of time.
It was time to celebrate the New Year. We all went home, with only a few important ministers staying. I took a detour to see an old relative and advised him to wait until the spring came, so as not to die in the first month and cause trouble to his children. I delayed getting home for such a long time, and the emperor passed away.
, the Kyoto guards sealed off the entire city and no one was allowed to enter or leave."
"That means there is no posthumous edict?" Lei Fengyong confirmed.
"There was no posthumous edict, and there was another strange thing that day. His Highness came from the Middle Palace, His Highness the Third was protected by the two concubines, and His Second Highness's mother-in-law was originally only a fifth-rank general, but that day there was a final decree from the late Emperor.
He rose to the top in one step and became the general in charge of the Jin Imperial Guard, on an equal footing with the generals of the Kyoto Guard, His Highness' maternal uncle."
Lei Feng Yun Lei Feng Yun could not help but exclaim, feeling that no matter how dangerous the battlefield was, it could only be like this.
"His Second Highness's mother-in-law is now in charge of the palace gate, His Highness's mother-in-law is in charge of the capital gate, and His Highness the Third Highness only has two concubines?"
Mr. Qi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. If you offend Yu Zhen from another province and raise your voice, even if you can't save Princess Yu's life, you will severely punish the murderer. If someone attacks the princess, it is tantamount to committing suicide. And the princess protects her.
It's the same with His Highness the Third, and it's the same with His Highness the Third. With the two concubines safe, Yu Cun doesn't dare to do anything."
Lei Fengyong thought about it and realized that Mr. Qi's words showed that there was no information inside and outside the capital. He said, "Have you heard about the recent events on Feiyutai?"
"Where is Feiyutai? Oh, oh, oh, what are you saying about Zhao who failed in Guangyang? He couldn't get a rank in the imperial examination and did evil things to become famous. Nothing he said on the stage would affect Beijing." Mr. Qi disapproved.
road.
Lei Fengyun Lei Fengyun understood in an instant that there was a gap between the scholars who took the imperial examinations and those who failed.
"But perhaps you should listen to news from the provinces."
"You two gentlemen, please speak."
"Yu Cun sent his son Yu Xinxiu to debate current affairs with the Zhao family on Feiyutai."
Mr. Qi was slightly moved: "Does Yu Cun have the Zhao family in his eyes?"
"Looking at the facts, the Zhao family can be considered a figure."
Mr. Qi immediately felt relieved and raised his brows: "I understand, let me tell you, there is clearly something behind your third son's ascension to the throne, but Master Yu did not move... Of course, the gate of the capital is under the jurisdiction of the guards of the capital, and the gate of the palace is under the jurisdiction of the Jinjin.
Wei, it is not easy for him to come in temporarily. So he has made friends with famous people from other provinces, and the local rich and wealthy people are not picky about fat or thin. Well, let me just say, the late emperor treated the Yu family well, and the two concubines should have been named queen mothers long ago. They guarded
Etiquette knows etiquette, and I am grateful to the former Queen Mother, oh, now we are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is grateful to the Queen Mother for her courtesy throughout her life, and she has repeatedly refused to be promoted to the Queen Mother, but she is just like the Queen Mother in the palace. Mrs. Yu
It’s impossible to sit idly by.”
Mr. Qi kept smiling: "You two gentlemen have arrived just in time. When I heard the news, I felt as if I had seen the thick fog clearing the sky."
