Chapter Sixteen (17)
Zhenying put her mouth close to Fulin's ear and whispered: "I have figured it out. This is what she should be called the 'bitter plan', which is to win the mercy of the emperor. You don't believe what I said, so let's do an experiment? Please find a place in the room to hide first, and wait for me to take her out. No matter how you think about it, I must reveal her true face for you." Fulin said impatiently: "I don't have time to accompany you to pretend to be a ghost. If you don't shut up, you will definitely be satisfied if you don't want to blow it out?" Zhenying had no choice but to walk out of Fulin's sight and lean against the wall to sigh.
After a stalemate for a while, a little eunuch gently touched into the room and called out in a low voice: "Emperor?" Fulin snorted, and the little eunuch whispered: "Report to the emperor, Prince Yu is asking for a meeting."
Fulin pondered and said, "Prince Yu? Alas... I am restless today, so I might as well postpone the government's affairs." The little eunuch said, "I also repay Prince Yu in this way. However, the prince said that he had something extremely important, and he must meet the emperor immediately. Look at this..." Fulin sighed, thinking that he always wanted to give Duoduo some face, and said, "Forget it, listen to him, so as not to delay major events." He greeted Zhenying, who was hiding in the corner, and said, "You come out with me."
Zhenying knew that he was worried that he would be unfavorable to Shen Shiyun in secret, so she must have her company, but she thought that there would be no outsiders present later, so she said something without witness. It would be better to stay with the emperor, at least to do a good job, and take the opportunity to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. Prince Yu usually had little contact with Fulin in private, but this time he suddenly showed an urgent need, and could guess the matter was very serious based on intuition. As a result, he said "yes", and followed Fulin right behind, and the little eunuch also lowered his eyebrows and followed him with delight.
When I walked into the hall, I saw a tall and thin figure standing by the table with his hands in his arms, his eyes casually scanning the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. His eyes were indifferent, as if he was concentrating and admiring, and he seemed to penetrate the wall and looking at the unknown. He could not turn around calmly when he heard the messy footsteps. It was Prince Yu Duoduo. Although Fulin felt impatient in his heart, he was more important than his uncle and nephew's etiquette and could not be too revealed. He walked forward a few steps and said: "Uncle Wu is in good health."
Duoduo said calmly, smiling and smiling: "Thank you for your concern, I'm here to pay your respects. I've only found you in the Qianqing Palace, so I found this place. Don't blame me. I wonder if it's disturbing you?" Before Fulin spoke, Zhenying smiled and said: "Prince, you've come here unfortunately. Concubine Yun was injured and unconscious. Long lively, as if she was nervous. Her heart was all tied to her. It's nothing to do with her. I'm afraid she won't listen to anything."
Duoduoqi said, "Empress Yunfei was injured? Is Yinxue Palace recruiting an assassin again? This... how is this possible?" He said, "That girl Chu Menglin has been staying in the mansion these days, and she doesn't leave the gate and doesn't step into the two gates. How can she be distracted from killing people? Could it be that the rest of the demon sects are responsible for the trouble?"
Zhenying was joking in front of Fulin. She was just talking casually, but she saw Duoduo's reaction was more surprising than being shocked, as if she had internal news, and there must be something hidden in it. Her eyes rolled and she smiled relaxedly: "Oh? The prince seems to know very well about those assassins? Otherwise, why use the word "you"? When she and Li Yijie and Li Alliance Leader Li discussed peace and were assassinated, were you also present?"
Duoduo was even more surprised: "Shen Shiyun was assassinated for the first time, and I watched from the side. Why did I say to make peace with Li Yijie? But the pretended guard was brought into the palace, which was not convenient to explain. She covered me up. Do she ask me for something or have other intentions? Forget it, no matter what the intention is, I don't need to reveal my shortcomings." He replied: "The assassination of Concubine Yun was widely rumored in the palace a while ago, and I have heard of it, but I rarely interacted with her. I have never been involved in this Yinxue Palace except for visiting the emperor today. This time I said it was impossible, but because the Great Inner Palace was heavily guarded and there were many experts, how could the assassin appear casually?"
Zhenying smiled and said, "The prince is at least very concerned about this matter. If there is one thing, there will be another. The assassin failed once and felt unwilling to accept it. He knew that the moth was still coming to the fire. What can I do? Is the prince familiar with the assassin's action well in advance?" Duoduo raised his right eyebrows and said coldly: "Concubine Zhen is clever and aggressive, and is she trying to refer to the king as the commander behind the scenes?" Zhenying smiled and said, "I dare not, I just discuss with the prince. If the assassin has an inner response in the palace, he will definitely be a big-name person. Who will it be?"
Fulin was unclear about the details of the first assassination. After hearing their mentions, he was secretly careful. After a few words, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, and said to himself: "The more Zhen Concubine said, the less he was talking, Prince Yu and Yun'er couldn't fight together, so how could he ask an assassin to kill her?" Seeing Duoduo's face as dark as the bottom of the pot, he knew that he had always been arrogant and asked people repeatedly, but he was afraid that he would explode immediately, so he had to be a peacemaker and said: "Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense. Yun'er was not injured. She... accidentally fell into the water, and was caused by the cold, causing a high fever. He has not woken up yet because of Zeng Huailongse."
Duoduo said, "Is Concubine Yun happy? That's great good news. I'm going to celebrate the emperor solemnly." He spoke happily, but his expression was not changed at all. How could he look like when he heard "the great good news"? Fulin said, "Duocheng the auspicious words of the emperor." He felt bored, hoping that the conversation like a lyricist ended as soon as possible, and reminded him: "Uncle is anxious to find me, and it seems that he shouldn't have come to congratulate me? I vaguely remember that you have another major issue to discuss."
Duoduo was stunned by his stiff tone, and then laughed loudly: "So that's it. I wonder why the emperor is in a state of unstable mood today. I must have returned to my heart at this moment. If I keep nagging, it is because I am the ignorant uncle, and I am afraid that I will make you curse."
Fulin said, "Where is the case, the emperor's uncle can say it." When the important officials in the palace were very good at doing superficial skills. Fulin was influenced by his eyes and learned it vividly. Duoduo said, "Okay, then I will tell you a long story..." He just started and sighed, saying, "But where did I start?"
Fulin heard his desire to speak but stopped, and clearly indicated that all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace had retreated to the outside of the hall, glanced at Zhenying with a sideways, and said, "You want her to avoid it?" Duoduo waved his hand and said, "No need, really, this matter is just a bit... strange power and chaotic. Recently, I have been dreaming of the Supreme Emperor, and it has been a while."
Fulin said, "The Supreme Emperor? Are you talking about my emperor? "Duoduo said, "No, what I mean is Taizu. I am really confused and I actually used the wrong name. Please forgive me. Although Taizu has been in the sky for a long time, he is still thinking about the country and country of the Qing Dynasty..."
Fulin snorted coldly and said, "Worry that I can't keep my ancestors' foundation?" He listened to Duoduo's words, and secretly looked at his facial expression, and found that his tone and expression were not matched, and every sentence seemed insincere. In addition, for no reason, "using the wrong name", he was completely fearless when he apologized, and his tone was plain, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he had confidence had played with him in his palm. He naturally felt angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but say something.
Duoduo said: "Why is the emperor so sensitive? Since you ascended the throne, you have set up officials to take charge of the industry and assist in teaching; reward the soldiers of the Eight Banners; treat the legitimate people of the Ming Dynasty with courtesy; and comfort them to achieve success in the march within the pass. You have made many actions that benefit the country and the people. It is really a rare thing to be able to take such responsibility at a young age. Your Majesty is kind and wise, and it is really a blessing for our dynasty." The topic changed and said: "Now you have initially ruled the Central Plains, and there are still bandits and riots in various places, and you are overestimating your ability to restore the Ming Dynasty.
A small country on the border has been fishing for troubled waters and has repeatedly sent troops to invade the territory. In the past, we regarded our country as a decisive country, and we were obsessed with it. However, we did not understand the gap in military strength. Our military training is more important than the elite, and we should not pay more attention to the number of troops. Every time we fight, we can always combine the terrain and make good use of strategies. How can we be able to do this? If we don’t teach any lessons, these people do not know that the world is rich. Isn’t it great for me to lead our army to fight, to defeat the world, completely eliminate hidden dangers, and make the emperor rest assured. Isn’t it great? I don’t know what the emperor’s will is?”
Fulin heard him speak in a humble and arrogant manner. At first, he kept praising his merits. In fact, people were born to love to listen to good things and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. When the war broke out again, his heart sank to the bottom. On the one hand, he knew nothing about marching and fighting and could not come up with ideas, so he could only rely entirely on his generals. On the other hand, he was deeply influenced by Shen Shiyun's views, hoping to create a peaceful and prosperous era and live in peace with the people of the world, rather than oppressing people with power. Sending troops to fight again will definitely harm many innocent people. But as the emperor, he was too inclined to surrender and lose his prestige, and these words were not convenient to say. He said: "The emperor is wholeheartedly thinking about the Qing Dynasty, I... I accept your affection very much. I wish the emperor is invincible in the battle, and return in triumphantly as soon as possible."
Duoduo laughed and said, "Defending the country is the duty of a minister, so don't mention the words of love. The emperor said, "I must win this time. If the horse succeeds, I will take my leave first." Fulin frowned and couldn't help but say, "If the people are not scattered everywhere, if they are not the most serious and evil people, it's better to be careful."
Duoduo looked slightly disdainful and said, "Please rest assured, I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not to massacre the people. As long as they do not come to seek death, I don't have time to do more. Does the emperor have any instructions?" Fulin filed his momentum and said, "No. When will you set off?"
Duoduo said, "It is said that 's war is fast'. Since the emperor approved the report, he naturally sets off immediately. But before that, he has to go to Yanglu Mountain first." Fulin thought about it and said, "Yanglu Mountain in the northeast of Tokyo? Are you going to Tokyo Mausoleum?" Duoduo admitted, and said, "Yes, that is the burial place between the Taizu and several princes. I am now paying homage to the Qing Dynasty's ancestral tomb. For the sake of loyalty and filial piety, I also pray to the ancestors to receive blessings and protect this great victory. Once this matter is over, I will directly raise the army with the military talisman and will not submit another report. The Pope will learn about it first."
Fulin was in a mess, and he felt that his words and deeds were strange everywhere today. The "miss title" and the worship of the ancestors' tombs seemed to be intentional and implied, but it was reasonable in theory. Therefore, what was wrong and I couldn't tell clearly. I waved my hand and said, "Yes, go. If you want to burn incense, don't forget my stick."
Duoduo smiled faintly and said, "I will never forget it. I will leave." He turned around and walked, and waved his right arm at the same time, raised his wide sleeves high, revealing a magnificent and mighty aura. Fu Lin suddenly remembered what he said just now, which seemed to be ambiguous, but since he had gone far away, he also stopped him and asked him to ask again.
Zhenying has been slandering Shen Shiyun recently. Although she failed again and again, she really tried her best to do anything and thoughts were much more meticulous. She saw that Duoduo had other plans at first glance. She thought to herself: "Prince Yu looks so proud and satisfied. Isn't it just that the emperor promised him to lead his troops to fight? Is it necessary to be so energetic? Could it be that he was so warlike that he was so happy that he was so excited when he heard that he could fight? Isn't it possible? Something must be wrong." Yu Guang glanced at Fulin lifting the curtain and went into the inner room to take care of Shen Shiyun, weighing the pros and cons, and immediately became calculating. He followed Duoduo and quickly chased after him.
