Xin Zhen wrote a letter on the occasion of Princess Jin's birthday, asking the King to change the title of Princess to Queen. Situ Wei was shocked when he heard this. Mr. Guo said: "This matter is obvious, the prince's own intention. It can be regarded as an edict to the world's crown prince and Lin Dongyang.
No resentment.”
Situ Wei still asked Gan Kexi to meet to ask for more information. Gan Kexi did not agree to meet, and only replied with a note with two words: order. Situ Wei handed the note to Mr. Guo and sighed: "It's just as Mr. Guo guessed."
.”
Mr. Guo sneered and said, "How can the Heavenly Family issue an edict if there are no complaints? If you cover your ears and steal the bell and pretend to be peaceful, something big will happen sooner or later."
Situ Wei hesitated and said: "Since Lin Dongyang is willing to obey my order, I'm afraid..."
Mr. Guo said: "The prince has given an order, who can disobey it? No matter how much resentment you have, you can only swallow it in your belly. You have swallowed it, but the accumulated food is difficult to eliminate and it becomes a lump, and it accumulates more and more. Plus Xiao Gan
Your Excellency’s female subordinate—” He affirmed, “Your Highness, Lin Dongyang can be taken.”
Situ Wei's eyes jumped slightly, but his face remained calm. Mr. Guo showed admiration. After a long while, Situ Wei said: "For the Queen's canonization ceremony, will you let my eldest brother out?"
"certainly."
"Where are those two?"
"The investigation into the matter between His Highness the Third and His Highness the Fifth has not yet been completed, so naturally he will continue to think about it behind closed doors." Mr. Guo said sarcastically, "Otherwise, why would I be made a queen with white eyebrows and red eyes? It's really unfair."
Situ Wei waved his hand and said: "Don't mention anything about fairness or injustice. Nothing in the world is fair."
"Yes." Mr. Guo smiled, "Your Highness, those two will definitely feel it is unfair."
Situ Wei thought: "It's just that they are thinking about their mistakes behind closed doors, and I can't contact them."
Mr. Guo said: "Imperial City Division can do it." Situ Wei's eyes lit up.
The State of Jin will hold a conferment ceremony on August 12. As Mr. Guo had guessed in advance, the crown prince will attend, but the two are still thinking about their past. The father of the crown prince questioned the appropriateness of this move at the court meeting, and the King of Jin said it was Han Qi.
After trying his best to persuade, Han Qi did not deny it, but also pretended to talk a lot of nonsense. The reasoning was so embarrassing that all the ministers could not believe that Han Qi could only say this because of his talent, so they all thought that he was thrown out by the King of Jin with an idea.
Shield. The meaning of King Jin is self-evident: no matter what mistakes he makes, the crown prince is still the crown prince.
Other countries heard about it and sent congratulatory gifts one after another. Jia Cong, the regent of the Yan State, personally went to the Jin Palace to deliver gifts, and told the Jin King by the way: "The weather is finally not so hot. I will go back after a few more days of fun."
King Jin smiled and said, "Is it because the weather is hot that Prince Jia doesn't leave?"
"Yes!" Jia Cong said confidently, "You can still escape the heat in the house when the sun is shining every day, but you can't do anything on the road. Besides -" he blinked, "the national destiny of the Jin State has been mostly settled. I want to think about the railway.
It's okay. It's time for me to go back to see my wife and little daughter." King Jin felt relieved for a moment. But Jia Cong said again, "But the prince still has to be careful. There are still whirlwinds in the east." King Jin felt worried again.
Jia Cong thought for a long time and said, "Forget it. I..." He suddenly shut up. King Jin's heart had jumped into his throat. Jia Cong asked, "Your Majesty, if I...do something,
If the whirlwind is moved, it may force him to go to the sea, or it may force him to return to the land in anger. Your Majesty, do you think I am moving him or not?"
"Hiss..." King Jin then remembered that Japan belonged to the Federation. Although it was only an alliance with the Yan State, Jia Cong thought that it would be easier than others to do something in Japan. After thinking about it again and again, he handed over his hand and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Prince Jia.
"Jia Cong smiled slightly.
The prince came out of seclusion during the preparations for the ceremony, and Situ Wei immediately came to seek refuge with him. The prince was overjoyed. Princess Jin was also happy, thinking: It was just as A Yuan said. Naite sent someone to warn the prince again, asking him to
Even if I win over Xiaosi, I have to guard against him.
At first, the prince didn't take it to heart. The nanny had no choice but to wink and hint: "This is what a very discerning lady reminded the empress."
The prince suddenly thought: "Ayuan?"
Mammy looked at her nose and heart: "The old slave didn't say anything." The prince was stunned, and his eyes were red. Mammy whispered again, "The lady told the empress that her little daughter and Han
They are friends with the fourth girl in the family. She thought that the fourth girl Han was about to get up and go to the south to study, so why not let her youngest daughter go with her? The only legitimate daughter in the Han family's room is this one."
The prince's eyes moved: "What does she mean?"
"She asked the queen what she meant, and she asked the servant to ask what the prince meant." The mother-in-law was still watching her nose and heart.
Princess Jin naturally thought that Xin Zhen wanted Miss Lin to persuade Miss Han to marry the Crown Prince as his concubine; the Crown Prince must have had the same idea. So she stood up and walked around the room with her hands behind her hands. After a long time, she sighed: "I owe
I'm afraid her life won't be over yet."
Auntie smiled and said: "Your Highness, you still have a long life to live."
The prince nodded: "Tell your mother, I agree." The grandma bowed and left.
On the other end, Gan Kexi also sent someone to secretly deliver a letter to Situ Wei, saying that he really wanted to persuade Lin Dongyang to send Miss Lin to Dajiala to study. Miss Lin had a bad foundation and would definitely not be able to get into the Ivy League. Fortunately, she was talented.
He is smart, and after two years of tutoring, he will be able to pass the Dajiala University without any problem. Situ Wei laughed heartily. Mr. Guo simply gave him a big gift: "Sir Xiao Gan, he can stand up to an army of millions!"
Two days later, Han Lu led Miss Lin to get up and rush to Dajiala. Lin Boru said that it would be too late to leave at this time. Han Lu said: "Let's rush to Zhao State quickly, and then take a car. Please hire two more drivers."
We will take turns to drive and we will arrive at Dajiala within half a month." Lin Boru became curious and discussed with his father to follow him to see off the girl. Lin Dongyang was a little hesitant. Xinzhen said: "It's only good to see the girl, so let the child go.
"Anyway, if we don't waste much time, it will only last more than a month including the few days he spent in Dajiala." Then the three children left together.
Because the railway was so novel that no one in Jin had ever seen it, Situ Wei did not return to school for the time being and stayed in Taiyuan to help. After the prince returned to the world, more people came to please him than before, and the door of Situ Wei's house immediately became deserted.
.
Since the letter was sent to remind Princess Jin to pay attention to Mr. Hao, who had saved the prince's life, the prince sent people to keep an eye on him secretly. On this day, a strange-looking man in black clothes and a bamboo hat sent a letter to Mr. Hao.
, Mr. Hao's expression changed drastically after reading it, and he immediately rushed to the door of the Prince's Mansion. The people who were watching followed quietly.
I saw Mr. Hao just approaching the man. The man first said: "Second Master, please come with me." He turned around and left. Before Mr. Hao had time to speak, the man was already walking about ten feet away, so he had to follow him first.
They went up. They walked through the streets and alleys for half a day and arrived at Chongshan Temple in the southeast corner of Taiyuan City. They did not enter the main entrance, but went around to the back and entered through a very small corner door. When the person following them approached, they walked forward.
The corner door is locked.
After waiting for half an hour, Mr. Hao came out, worried. He did not go back to the Prince's Mansion, but went straight to the gate of the temple and hired a carriage to go back to Hao's house.
Mr. Hao didn't return to the Prince's Mansion until dusk this time. The disciple asked casually: "Where have you been, sir? It took you most of the day."
Mr. Hao said, "An old friend is here for a drink." Then he strode back to his own residence.
The next day, the prince went to pay his respects to Princess Jin and told the matter. The princess had already heard that King Jin was very worried about the Japanese master, and remembered that Xin Zhen had said that he was involved with the Hao family. After thinking about it again and again, she ordered the prince to put the matter aside.
Return to King Jin.
The prince told him that he had gone through the old accounts carefully while he was shutting up to think about his past, and he suddenly discovered that many wrongdoings were caused by the man named Hao. He became suspicious and ordered someone to stare at him. As he was watching, he vaguely heard the words "Japanese" or something like "Japanese".
He was a little surprised. Since he didn't have any manpower in his house, he asked the Imperial City Secretary to help him investigate. The King of Jin didn't like the word "Japan" the most, so he immediately sent Gan Kexi to the house.
Gan Kexi was stunned when he heard the word "Chongshan Temple" and said: "Two monks came to Asakusa Temple in Japan a few days ago. They said they came to study Buddhism and lived in Chongshan Temple. I have sent my men to keep an eye on them.
People, I didn’t notice anything wrong.”
The King of Jin was surprised: "Why didn't you tell the lonely king about such a big event?"
Gan Kexi said: "I haven't found any clues at this moment, so there is no reward."
The King of Jin scolded: "I don't know the importance! All matters related to the monks of Sensoji Temple, no matter how big or small, should be returned in time." Gan Kexi hurriedly confessed and agreed.
Just at this time, an old eunuch came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that there is no need to go to her to pay her respects tonight. She went to the temple to worship Buddha and stayed for a while, so she took the evening meal in the temple.
Come back again."
Gan Kexi blurted out and asked: "Father, may I ask which temple the Queen Mother goes to worship Buddha?"
The old eunuch said: "This old slave heard about it and asked her to go to Chongshan Temple."
The prince of Jin Dynasty, Gan Kexi, was surprised. "Chongshan Temple?"
Gan Kexi hurriedly asked: "Don't she always like to go to Yongzuo Temple? Why did she go to Chongshan Temple instead?"
The old eunuch smiled and said: "This servant doesn't know. The Queen Mother burns incense and naturally goes wherever she likes."
Gan Kexi thought for a while and asked: "May I ask my father-in-law, does the Queen Mother often have evening fast in the temple?"
The old eunuch thought for a while and said, "I often fast at lunch in the temple, but rarely fast at night."
Gan Kexi frowned and said after a long time: "Chongshan Temple is not big, how many people did the Queen Mother bring?"
"I don't know, old slave."
Gan Kexi nodded lightly and let him go.
The prince thought: "I remember that my grandmother's natal family and the Hao family were married."
"That's right." Gan Kexi said, "The Queen Mother's niece married into the Hao family, and her grandnephew married a girl from the Hao family. However, although the Hao family has a large population, they don't have many talents."
The prince said: "Although ants are small, they should not be underestimated."
"What the prince said is true, and Wei Chen has written it down."
The King of Jin was silent for a long time and said: "Axi, keep an eye on Chongshan Temple."
"I obey my orders."
That day, the Queen Mother did not return from Chongshan Temple until nightfall. The Imperial City Bureau's detailed work did not find anything wrong. The only thing that was strange was that the Queen Mother rested alone in the wing for more than an hour.
Early the next morning, Concubine Yin was not feeling very well, and the nanny beside her hurriedly sent someone to tell Situ Wei. Situ Wei left his work and returned to the Jin Palace to visit his mother. Then he sent greetings to the Queen Mother.
After coming out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Situ Wei did not go back to the Yamen, but took two followers for a stroll. Slowly walking to Erdao Alley in the north of the city, he saw a Wang's noodle shop. The lady boss there was very pretty, so he ate there.
Had a bowl of noodles.
In the next few days, the Queen Mother went to Chongshan Temple several times, and each time she only stayed in that room. However, the Imperial City Division had just been severely damaged two or three months ago, and now the exquisite works sent in were just entering the temple.
The monks had no plausible identity to approach the Queen Mother; but the two monks from Japan had been studying Buddhism honestly. When the Queen Mother was away, Gan Kexi personally went to the house to check, and there were no flaws. No matter whether it was the King of Jin, the Crown Prince, Gan Kexi
Everyone felt that there was something weird in Chongshan Temple, but they couldn't find out. Gan Kexi said helplessly: "That's the Queen Mother... Even if I go in person, what can I do if she doesn't allow the servants to enter?" King Jin thought that it was true.
Unconsciously, I also had a headache. Seeing that it was the grand ceremony for the queen sealing, I had to put the matter aside for the time being.
The conferment ceremony was uneventful, and Princess Jin was renamed Queen Jin from then on, and the whole country celebrated.
The next day, Jia Cong, the regent of Yan, said goodbye to the king of Jin. He was going to Pingyao to see the ancient city. He also told him: "I watched the sky last night. The national destiny of Jin has begun, and the prince can rest assured. Even if it is a short night, it is not worth mentioning.
." King Jin smiled broadly. Jia Cong took the opportunity to preach for half a day that Taoism benefits the country and the people, which is much better than Buddhism. King Jin remembered that his mother ran to Chongshan Temple for nothing, and suddenly felt that Jia Cong's words were reasonable.
On the same day, the Queen Mother went to Chongshan Temple again and did not return until the second watch. Not long after she returned home, Gan Kexi met the King of Jin in person and replied: "Our people heard something, quite strange. It was a man's voice.
, but the Queen Mother was the only one in that room, and a man entered at some point."
King Jin hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"
"The man said, 'No problem, unless the prince comes in person, no one in custody will recognize me.'"
King Jin looked greatly moved.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Queen Jin happily held a banquet. In the evening, the Queen Mother went back to her own courtyard early. After a while, someone quietly replied and said that the Queen Mother had left the house! The Queen was busy sending her messages.
I went to the Queen Mother's courtyard to inquire. It turned out that the Queen Mother had just taken a nap and dreamed of the three Bodhisattvas in Chongshan Temple. When she opened her eyes, she saw that they were still in the palace. She thought it was a dream and that the Bodhisattva was calling her, so she was busy.
The man ordered to pack up his carriage and leave.
This matter was strange. The queen thought about it for a moment and went back to King Jin personally. King Jin was still drinking with the officials in the outer hall. When he heard this, he was shocked and called Gan Kexi to him.
Gan Kexi thought for a long time, then suddenly his eyes moved, and he whispered back: "Your Majesty, could it be..." He stretched out two fingers, "He is here, and he lives in Chongshan Temple. The Queen Mother went to reunite with him."
King Jin took a breath. Gan Kexi murmured, "Why did he say no one recognized him? At least Wei Chen recognized him. Isn't it him? Is it someone around him?"
King Jin suddenly remembered that Jia Cong was watching the sky at night and saw that the whirlwind was still in the east. Jia Cong had just got up from Taiyuan, and he didn't know whether he had arrived in Pingyao or not, so he said: "It shouldn't be him."
"That... is his son? His son Wei Chen... Wei Chen is really not very familiar with him."
King Jin suddenly remembered someone and said "haha" twice: "I know who it is."
Gan Kexi was overjoyed: "Who? The prince can draw a portrait? I can search for it."
King Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you, a small official, won't be able to hold him. I'll wait for the lonely prince to come and kiss him."
