Late at night on the 25th, Tang Bohe, the owner of Shandong Noodle House in the north of the city, and his wife Mo Shi were still not asleep. The reason was simple, because they had not found a suitable way to inform His Highness Yunxi that someone was planning to kill him. They haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these past few days, and it's the same tonight. They finished cleaning up the shop at midnight and went to bed immediately. However, more than an hour later, they still didn't fall asleep at 2:00 p.m. .
The couple lay quietly on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. According to their experience in the past few days, they had to work until midnight (1 to 3 am) before they could fall asleep. Fortunately, their store did not sell breakfast, otherwise they would not have had it. Fell asleep.
In order to distract his attention, Tang Bohe said to his wife: "Didn't my eldest brother come to our store this morning and say that my mother-in-law is sick again? You should go back and take a look."
Mrs. Mo was irritated and said angrily: "That evil woman kept torturing me when I was not married, and even withheld my dowry. If it weren't for my father's good face, I would probably have to wear the wedding clothes." Yi came to our house alone. She is not my biological mother, and she is not good to me. No one in the neighborhood knows! Why should I rush to honor her!"
Tang Bohe said again: "She is your aunt after all. She can be unkind, but you can't be unfilial! And this time my eldest brother came to tell me about my mother-in-law's illness, and many people heard it. Why don't you go back and take a look? , it’s not good for your reputation either.”
Mo said: "My eldest brother is not a good person. I think he spoke so loudly on purpose to force me." After a pause, he regained his emotions and then said: "Hey! You are right. Since the Ming Dynasty, Filial piety governs the world and attaches great importance to filial piety. I still have to go back tomorrow. Huh! I won’t bring them anything. Except for things for dad and some medicinal materials, I will bring nothing! If there is a quarrel, their reputation will be ruined. It sounds good, as if I was competing for this little thing from my aunt."
Tang Bohe didn't want to see his eldest brother's family, and he stopped trying to persuade him. When the couple was almost speechless again, Mrs. Mo suddenly said: "By the way, I have an idea!" The voice was loud and shocked the whole family. The dog kept barking "Ouch".
Tang Bohe hurriedly said to her: "Please keep your voice down." Then he said: "What idea do you have?" He thought it was about returning to his parents' home.
Mo said excitedly: "It's about how to tell His Highness the Third Prince."
Hearing this, Old Tang was also excited and asked: "What idea do you have? Tell me quickly."
Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Didn't you mention the matter about my natal family just now? I thought that we could inform the late Crown Princess' natal family about the founding of the government."
When Old Tang heard this, his eyes lit up. This idea was reliable! Because Yunxi's mother had passed away for almost ten years, most people had assumed that Concubine Lu was the Crown Princess Yiwen, especially the common people. Who could remember this one? What about people who have been dead for such a long time? So Old Tang and Mr. Mo never thought about this aspect until today.
The interests of the Chang family are basically the same as those of Yunxi. Yunxi's succession will definitely be beneficial to them and they will not be bribed, so informing them is foolproof.
Both husband and wife were very excited. A life-threatening issue that had been bothering them for three days had found a solution. Everyone was happy.
After the excitement was over, Old Tang thought of another problem and said worriedly: "The Founding Father's mansion is so high, I'm afraid he won't see us; it wouldn't be appropriate to tell others and then pass it on."
Mo said: "You forgot, Chen Xing came to our place for dinner one time and said that the eldest son of the founding father had joined the Jinwu Zuowei training camp last month and bought a house here for the convenience of entering and leaving the military camp. Chen Xing also said
Complaining that his military training is too harsh. Let’s go to the eldest son of the Chang family’s house here, so that the mansion here won’t be so high.”
Old Tang felt that what his wife said was right, so he felt relieved and decided that the couple would not go there tomorrow and would settle this matter first. Once there was a solution to this problem, it was like removing a big stone from his chest.
Coupled with being sleepy, the couple fell asleep after a while.
The morning dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was held very early, starting as soon as the Chen hour arrived. The palace was so large that even the former dynasty was extremely vast. Imagine the length of the ** Square of the Forbidden City in Peking, which was modeled after the Forbidden City in Nanjing, plus the distance to the Golden Palace.
Just know it.
Near the Inner Wulong Bridge, a middle-aged man wearing a python robe given by His Majesty was walking. His frowning expression told people that he was worried about something.
This person is the current Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu. Although he is waiting to go to court, his mind is not on going to court at all now, because he is still undecided on how to deal with the important news he got last night.
And the news he got was also related to Yunxi.
Let's go back to last night. There is a majestic mansion on Chang'an Street in Beijing. The wide door shows the high status of its owner. In the side hall of one of the small courtyards, three people are sitting on the imperial chair.
, listening to the man kneeling on the ground say: "To return to the three young masters, tonight, the master of ceremonies Hu who left the palace a few days ago returned to the palace, and after returning to the palace, the crown prince and second concubine Lu summoned her immediately; and this morning
, it happened that some of our people saw Tan Shanggong and Hu Siyi, who had been demoted from the palace a few days ago, appearing at Xiaguan Pier, and there was actually a group of barbarians traveling with them."
The man sitting in the third seat, dressed in rich clothes and looking fierce, asked: "Did you see clearly what they are doing?"
The man kneeling on the ground replied: "To the Fourth Young Master, in order not to be discovered by them, my people did not dare to get close, so I don't know what they are doing; but it seems that they are doing some kind of deal."
After a moment of silence, the man sitting at the head of the table spoke up: "What do you mean, Fan Qi, because the second concubine of the Xian Yiwen Crown Prince behaved suspiciously, and what means were used to deal with the third highness of the Crown Prince Yiwen? After all, the Yunnan Yi people used strange methods to
Famous for having many things going on.”
The man known as Fan Qi knelt on one knee and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.
The man known as Fourth Master turned his head to the person sitting in the first place and said with excitement on his face: "Brother, it seems that Concubine Lu is really going to take action, hahaha."
The man who was called the eldest brother turned his head and said to him: "Zengshou, His Highness the Second Highness and His Highness the Third Highness are fighting against each other. No matter what happens, the Ming Dynasty will be damaged. What's there to be happy about? Besides, His Highness the Second Highness and His Highness the Third Highness will die together, so
It is not the turn of Prince Yan to inherit the throne."
Everyone must have figured out that this 'eldest brother' is the current Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, and the 'fourth son' is Xu Da's fourth son, Xu Zengshou. Sitting second is Xu Da's third son, Xu Yingxu. Xu Da's second son died early.
There were only three people present.
After hearing what his elder brother said, Xu Zengshou's face became ugly, and he did not dare to talk back to his elder brother, so he could only sit on the chair and sulk.
