When the eunuchs in the palace came to announce the decree, there was no master in Prince Rui's palace.
Needless to say, the two children went to Baihe Academy.
Song Qinghuan went to the Song family to visit the Xiaoyun family, while Xiao Ci went to the Wucheng Institute.
The steward took the eunuch to the flower hall and served him tea and snacks. He also hurriedly sent messages to everyone and invited the masters back to listen to the order.
Song Qinghuan was still thinking about how deserted the house was. She had dinner at Song's house and then went back. Unexpectedly, the servant in the house came to report the news. Not to mention that she wanted to have dinner, she couldn't stay even a moment longer.
One rushed back from the Song family to Prince Rui's Mansion, and the other rushed back from the Wucheng Office. They were sweating profusely and had to change into the prince's uniform and the imperial uniform in order to receive the order.
It was easy for Xiao Ci to change his clothes, but Song Qinghuan was much more troublesome. Not only did he have to change his clothes, he also had to comb his hair again.
Tuxue Xunmei was in a panic. The two hairpins at the back had not been inserted firmly, but Song Qinghuan could not wait to hold up the hem of her skirt and hurried out the door.
There was nothing he could do in the snow, and he was afraid that his master would be rude, so he hurriedly followed behind and secured the two hairpins.
No matter how delicious the tea in Prince Rui's Mansion is and how delicious the snacks are, the eunuch who announced the decree was impatient after eating and drinking without seeing anyone.
With a strange urge from Yin and Yang, the steward in the mansion immediately stuffed a purse into it without leaving any trace.
The eunuch held the purse lightly, knowing that it contained banknotes, so he didn't say anything else.
Xiao Ci took Song Qinghuan and trotted all the way to the flower hall. The two of them were covered in sweat again.
When the eunuch who announced the decree saw that the couple had finally arrived, he did not waste any time and said hurriedly: "Prince Rui, Princess Rui, please accept the decree."
On this hot day, I wish I could go back early and rest.
As soon as Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan knelt down, the eunuch held his thin voice and recited the decree in the imperial edict.
All in all, you use a bunch of fancy prefixes, but in the end they only have one meaning.
Xiao Ci and his family were asked to move to Kyoto and go to Ruizhou within half a month.
Xiao Ci accepted the order without changing his expression, gave another purse, and then sent someone to send the eunuch away.
When the people were gone, Song Qinghuan got up from the ground, sat down next to the rose chair, rubbed his knees and asked Xiao Ci: "What do you mean, brother? Are you driving us out of the capital?"
After a pause, he immediately remembered what happened on the birthday banquet of Emperor Chengxing, and hurriedly called Taxue: "Ask Song Dashan to go and inquire about what's going on in Prince Wu's Mansion."
Song Qinghuan was still very surprised by the sudden decree of the feudal lord, but Xiao Ci was not at all surprised. When the eunuch left, there was a faint look on his face, as if he had known about it for a long time.
He called out to Ta Xue: "There's no need to go, since it's a feudal clan, it's definitely not our family."
In other words, King Wu must also have a hand in this.
Song Qinghuan couldn't help but become confused and asked Xiao Ci: "Your Majesty, what did Bage say at the birthday banquet of the Holy Emperor that day?"
King Rui and King Wu had already made kings and divided their fiefdoms, but they had also lived in Kyoto for more than ten or twenty years. Emperor Chengxing had always been indifferent and had no hostility towards his two younger brothers, so he did not become a vassal.
It doesn't matter either.
This sudden decree was issued, which made people think deeply.
Xiao Ci knew that Song Qinghuan had guessed it, so he chuckled and said, "Of course it's not a good thing."
That day at the birthday banquet of Emperor Chengxing, King Wu was fine at first, but after a few glasses of wine, he became confused and said that Emperor Chengxing was fatuous.
At first, he just whispered it, but later someone reminded him to be careful in his words and actions.
Then he got angry, threw up the table, pointed at the man and cursed: "Did I make a mistake? The majestic leader of a country, but he indulges in women all day long and neglects government affairs. He is either lustful or stupid...
."
Although he didn't say anything serious and was the truth, Emperor Chengxing was still an emperor after all. When these words came to his ears, he immediately became unhappy.
After King Wu sobered up, he didn't remember such a thing at all. He had always been a cautious person. For his own life and the lives of his children, he lived an even humbler life than Xiao Ci.
When you knew the whole story, you immediately knew that someone was plotting against you.
The King of Wu had a poor drinking capacity, so whenever he attended a banquet, he always asked the palace officials to change the pot of fruit wine, so that even if he drank a few more glasses, he would not be intoxicated.
But he happened to be drunk that day, and he was completely drunk.
King Wu himself was so frightened that as soon as he woke up from the wine, he immediately went to the palace to plead guilty. He cried with tears and runny nose and begged Emperor Chengxing to punish him.
Emperor Chengxing was quite angry, but looking at King Wu's cowardly behavior, he didn't have the intention to kill him. He left the man to dry for a few days, and then he thought it would be better to keep it out of sight and simply throw away these two brothers.
Go to the fiefdom.
It was normal for a prince to become a vassal. Although the decree came suddenly, it did not cause any waves in the court.
King Wu managed to escape this situation, but he regarded Prince Xiao Mu as a thorn in his side.
There was no other reason. There was no one in Dali who had more reason than Xiao Mu to expel them to the fiefdom.
However, Xiao Mu was also wondering behind the scenes, who did this?
But it's just a mystery.
Xiao Ci's fiefdom, Ruizhou, is not a wealthy place, but it is much freer there than in Kyoto.
Therefore, as soon as the issue of vassalage came to his mouth, it was a blessing in disguise.
I will leave Beijing for the fiefdom in half a month. Time is very tight. Not only do I have to pack my things, but I also have to say goodbye to relatives and friends. After a rough calculation, there is not enough time.
The next day, Xiao Ci went to Baihe Academy to withdraw from school for Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong.
Xiao Jingchuan was also surprised by the sudden decision to go to the fiefdom, but even after asking about it, he didn't say anything.
Xiao Jingtong was extremely novel, not only novel, but also very happy. She had never been out of the capital in her entire life, and she didn't know what Ruizhou was like or whether it was fun or not.
Song Qinghuan didn't care about the two children's yard and only asked them to order others to clean it up.
In addition to sorting out Xiao Ci's property, Song Qinghuan also had to choose suitable people to stay and take care of it. In addition to her dowry, she also had to pack it up and ship it to Ruizhou.
Normally, most of the princes of the feudal dynasty would not be transported back to the imperial mausoleum in the capital for burial until they died. It was probably the same when they left, and they would naturally have to be cleaned up.
The date for the trip was fixed, and a date was chosen for the Song family, a post was sent to the Yun family, a banquet was held, and a serious farewell was given.
Mrs. Zhong was pregnant, and her emotions were ups and downs. Originally, she thought Song Qinghuan married Xiao Ci, and then she lived in Beijing for a long time, so it was not considered a distant marriage.
Unexpectedly, he still had to rush to the fiefdom. The two places were more than a thousand miles apart, and he could not return to Beijing without being summoned. It would not be easy to see him again in the future.
