Ajiu

Chapter 130
Mr. Pei Ge returned home very late, exhausted all over.Mrs. Fang and Ajiu's eyes lit up when they saw him, they helped him sit down attentively, undressed him, and offered him hot tea.Pei Ge always smiled, "My daughter is sensible now." His face was quite old and haggard, and even his smile was tired. Ajiu felt sore in his heart, and smiled and blamed, "Grandfather, my daughter was sensible a long time ago." Old Pei Ge smiled dotingly, "Sit down, my grandpa, and I will tell you about it." Ajiu hurriedly pulled Mrs. Fang to sit next to her grandfather, listening to him talk about the affairs of the court.

When the emperor fell ill, Empress Zhang and the prince trembled again. Empress Zhang insisted on serving the emperor. The prince should supervise the country.Yang Shoufu is the head of all the officials, but the emperor has been in a coma, and he doesn't know how to respond to the proposal of Jin Xiangbo and others.If you don't agree, who will manage the government affairs?Is it all under the cabinet's control? Is it because the cabinet ministers have evil intentions?Promise, knowing that the emperor removed the siege of the Ciqing Palace a few days ago, but still did not allow the crown prince to come and go freely, obviously out of precaution.If you agree to let the prince supervise the country, wouldn't you ignore the emperor's wishes.

In fact, the reason why Yang Shoufu hesitated was that he was not sure about the emperor's physical condition.If he knew that the emperor would be healed, he would definitely not even think about it, "Without His Majesty's will, how can His Royal Highness supervise the country?" Manage common affairs." However, the emperor was unconscious most of the time, and the imperial physician couldn't tell what the disease was, so Yang Shoufu was hesitant when he was somewhat sure it could be cured.

Yang Shoufu was the head of the civil servants, he looked hesitant, and he didn't speak for a long time, and it was inconvenient for the rest of the people to say anything beyond him.For a while, Jin Xiangbo was so arrogant that no one dared to refute it.

Among the nobles, the British Duke ranked first because Wei Guogong took sick leave for many years.The Duke of England is cautious and has always insisted, "This matter is not known to the courtiers. We can only wait for His Majesty to wake up. Please make a decision." Uncle Jin Xiang asked him directly, "Your Majesty's dragon body is safe, we are ecstatic But if Your Majesty stays awake for [-] days or [-] days, is it possible that the government affairs will be accumulated and not dealt with?" The British Duke was silent.

In the end, even Yang Shoufu spit out, "If Your Majesty is still unconscious tomorrow, please ask His Royal Highness to manage government affairs."

Mrs. Fang was taken aback, "Master Shoufu opened his mouth. Is this matter settled?" Among the civil servants, Yang Shoufu agreed, and the British Duke, the head of honor, did not speak. Could it be that the crown prince really wants to take over the government.

Ajiu smiled flatteringly, "Grandfather, who stood up at this time? Come on, someone must have stepped forward. Who is it?"

You haven't spoken yet, grandpa hasn't spoken yet, and there are many people who haven't spoken yet, someone will definitely stand up.It is impossible to pass it all.You pause here intentionally, and I guess what follows is a turning point.

Both Ah Jiu and Mrs. Fang looked at Mr. Pei Ge intently.

Pei Ge drank all the tea in the cup and smiled comfortably, "It's King Wei."

King Wei angrily reprimanded Jin Xiangbo, Yang Shoufu and others, scolding them for being ignorant of the emperor. His majesty the emperor only occasionally stayed in bed. Brazenly making plans for His Majesty to sleep forever, his heart is damning!

"How does Uncle know that His Majesty Father won't wake up? Does Uncle hold resentment and hope that His Majesty Father won't wake up, or is it because of something that Uncle has done to conclude that His Majesty Father won't wake up?!" King Wei forcefully asked Looking at his uncle Jin Xiangbo, he was merciless.Uncle Jin Xiang's expression changed, "What are you talking about, Your Highness the Tenth Highness! I just saw something wrong."

The prince opened his mouth gently, "Uncle, His Majesty is sick, Xiao Shi must be impatient, and he will not choose what he says, so don't argue with him." Jin Xiangbo said to the prince. The future emperor bowed respectfully, "What Your Highness said is that I would like to obey the order."

King Wei sneered again and again, "Uncle called himself a 'subject' to my elder brother, where did you put His Majesty Father on my sick bed? Uncle, His Majesty Father is just a minor illness, and he will recover within two days. You don't have to do anything." Impatient." When Jin Xiangbo said that, his face turned red and white, angry and afraid.

When King Wei stepped forward, Mr. Pei Ge, Lin Shangshu and other civil officials agreed, "One, your majesty is just a minor illness, and he will recover in a short time; , Your Majesty's will. Government affairs are temporarily handled by the cabinet in conjunction with the six ministries and nine ministers, but it will only be a few days, and there will be no serious problems."

After Mr. Pei Ge and Lin Shangshu expressed their views, the British Duke also stood by Mr. Pei Ge. Yang Shoufu was suspicious at first, and pushed the boat along, "Yes, it's only a few days." In this way, Jin Xiangbo and others It's not easy to persist anymore, the prince kept silent, and it was settled for the time being.

"At last the crown prince doesn't supervise the country." Mrs. Fang patted her chest in fear.

If this villain who covets little Ajiu gains power, what will happen?The fiancée of a direct brother also dares to attack. She is bold, shameless and shameless. Once such a person succeeds, he will be rampant.

"He will definitely not give up. Grandfather, what will he do next?" Ajiu's big eyes rolled around.

Pei Ge smiled and shook his head, "Ninny, grandfather can't guess."

He was originally a prince, as long as he stayed in Nanjing honestly, once the emperor passed away, the court would definitely send envoys to welcome him and take him in as emperor.But he couldn't wait, and made a foolish move.What will he do next?Perhaps it is to continue to persuade the courtiers, if it is not possible, it may be desperate.

"It's easy to guess what a smart person thinks, but grandfather can't guess what a fool thinks." Pei Ge laughed.

If the prince was smart, he shouldn't have jumped out at all right now, but would have stayed in front of the emperor's bed to serve the decoction.No, no, he has a criminal record. Serving the decoction may make the emperor suspicious, so he should also act like a filial son, as if he doesn't care about other things except his father's illness, and has no time to care about it even if his father leaves. Even so, he had to put on a look of grief, and when the ministers asked him to succeed him, he had to give in at least twice, and only reluctantly complied with the invitation the third time.Now his father is just sick (although it seems to be very sick), so he jumps up and down like this, is it appropriate?

"He's really stupid." Ajiu echoed his grandfather, "If it were me, my eyes would be swollen from crying right now, and I don't care about anything except His Majesty's health. If I ask the army to supervise the country, I will also refuse."

My father is so sick, you let me handle government affairs?Can I be in the mood?

Not to mention the prince, even if you become the emperor, you have to be a filial son.If you are not a filial son, you have to pretend to be extremely filial.

Pei Ge stroked his beard, smiled and said nothing.If the prince gets smarter and pretends to be a filial son in front of the emperor's bed, then he will be in trouble.The crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has been valued since he was a child. If he shows such repentance, His Majesty the emperor will change his mind.

The prince will not be content.If he is safe, he will not offer elixir and make friends with guard officers.

"You and your grandfather won't suffer in the battle of wits in the court. But if he has evil thoughts and wants to use force, what should we do?" Ajiu was quite worried.Grandfather, we are scholars, what should we do if we encounter soldiers.

Old Pei Ge was very proud, "I beg you to save my benefactor."

As soon as Wei Guogong comes out, who will fight for the front.

Ajiu gave her grandfather a thumbs up, "You are too thoughtful! Grandpa, you are so clever."

Ajiu flattered her grandfather, reciprocating courtesy, and her grandfather also praised Ajiu, "Where there is, little Ajiu is a good fortune teller."

The three grandparents laughed happily.

In the next few days, Mr. Pei Ge came back very late every day, and Uncle Pei and Second Master Pei also left early and returned late.On the sixth day, until late at night, none of Pei Ge's father and son came home.The sound of fighting came from the direction of the imperial city, and black smoke rose.

Pei's house was surrounded by soldiers, and all the gates and corner gates were blocked, and everyone was not allowed to go out.

Everyone in the Pei family gathered in Mrs. Fang's room, and everyone's hearts were heavy.Pei Wei and other brothers sighed bitterly, "There are none of us brothers who practice martial arts!" At this moment, Mrs. Fang was still laughing, "My good boy, whether you study literature or martial arts, you should put your heart into it."

The concierge changed into night clothes, avoided the soldiers, left Pei's house, and explored Wenyuan Pavilion at night.Wenyuan Pavilion was heavily guarded, Mr. Pei Ge and others were surrounded by sharply armored guards, unable to move. "The prince has made a move." The porter couldn't save anyone, so he sneaked back to Pei's house and reported to Mrs. Fang, "Master Pei is fine for the time being, those soldiers are still polite to him."

After the concierge reported back, he went out again.He wanted to go to Duke Wei's mansion to see if he could move the rescuers, and he also wanted to try to enter the palace to see what the situation was like now.

Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord is fine, and it's safe for Dalang Zhonglang to come if he wants to. Think about it, too. The crown prince just wants to subdue them, and he will only kill them if he persuades them repeatedly. Now, it's still early on."

Mrs. Fang ordered Qi Yingying and Xiao Gu to go back to the room to coax the children, "Don't be scared, you little one. It's just you two, don't panic too much. The sky is falling, and there is a tall person to hold it up." Qi Yingying and Xiao Gu promised with tears in her eyes and left.

"Brother Qi will accompany your wife back, she must not be tired right now." Mrs. Fang instructed Pei Qi again.Pei Qi agreed in a low voice, "Yes, grandma." Gently stroking her flat belly, Yuan said softly, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm not afraid at all. The sky will fall, and there will be a tall person to support it." Her beautiful face Seeing firm and calm at this moment, Pei Qi felt warm in his heart, "My lady, there is me, and I am the tall one." Pei Qi looked at Yuan Shi, and Yuan Shi also looked at him. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying Endless tenderness.

At this moment, I can't forget to show my affection!Ajiu glanced at the third brother and the third sister-in-law, expressing deep admiration.

Not long after Yang's first marriage, Mrs. Fang also ordered the fourth eldest Pei Lang to accompany her back to her room to rest.Pei Lang was not very happy, Madam Fang smiled, "The newly married couple should stay together." After all, Gu Shi and Lin Youhui are old and have gone through many things, even though their hearts are heavy, they also joked about this with a smile. For the young couple, Pei Lang and Yang Shi blushed, said goodbye and went back to the room.

The concierge came back again, "Wei Guogong knew the news and went out. Mrs. Guogong said, let Madam, just relax, her family's Duke Guo has never missed a shot."

Then, he left again, he wanted to enter the palace to have a look.

When he came back this time, the news he brought back was not very good. "Many places in the palace were on fire, and it was in chaos. There were guards wearing Jin Wuwei clothing attacking the palace, and His Royal Highness King Wei personally led the troops to resist, and the fight was very hard."

The little boy who climbed the wall of Pei's house back then, now His Royal Highness King Wei, his face as white as jade was splashed with bright red blood, shocking.

Ajiu's body trembled, and Madam Fang and Lin Youhui felt distressed, "Good boy, King Wei has great fortune, so he must be safe and sound." Ajiu calmed down and smiled slightly, "He loves to ride and shoot when he urinates, he is not weak man of……"

Ajiu pinched her palm with her fingernails, feeling a burst of pain.Brother Ten, you have to be good, you must be good.

The porter finished his report and left again.He didn't worry about Mr. Pei Ge in Wenyuan Pavilion, and he didn't worry about his senior brother in the palace.

Lin Youhui looked at Ajiu's appearance, couldn't bear it, and stretched out his arms to hug his precious daughter.Ajiu raised her face and smiled obediently, "Mom, I'm fine." Lin Youhui patted her on the back lightly, "Good girl, go to sleep, everything will be fine after you wake up."

Ajiu nestled in Lin Sihui's arms, her thoughts fluctuating.Grandfather was imprisoned, and the soldiers treated him politely, so there was no danger for the time being; Daddy and Daddy should be like this too; King Wei is leading the people to fight bloody battles, and he wants to personally command the guards to put down the rebellion.He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he has never faced such a situation...

The sky is slowly getting brighter.

In the morning light, a servant stumbled in, "Ma'am, a group of people came to the gate of our house, who said it was His Royal Highness! They forced their way in!" Mrs. Fang hurriedly stood up. She hadn't slept all night, her eyes flickered. Angry, "Stay here, I'll meet him when I go out!"

Pei Wei and others hurriedly supported her, "Grandma, we will accompany you!"

Ajiu stood up from Lin Youhui's arms, stretched out her hands to straighten her temples, with a calm expression, "He came after me, let me go. Grandma, I know how to deal with it."

Ah Jiu, who has a graceful figure and a tight waist, is only fourteen or fifteen years old. She looks really weak and charming.At this time, she was extraordinarily calm and calm, with a bit of determination on her immature face, which made it impossible to underestimate her.

Mrs. Fang and Lin Youhui stopped her without even thinking, "Ajiu go back!" Seeing the flower-like little Ajiu going out, facing the ulterior motive of the prince, their hearts were almost broken.

"I'm not brave, it's just that since I can't hide, then I don't hide." Ajiu smiled.

Lin Youhui held back tears, "Okay, let's not hide. Nanny, follow grandma and mother." He and Mrs. Fang pulled Ajiu one by one, and walked out slowly.

Gu Shi, Pei Wei and other brothers followed closely behind them.

Mrs. Fang lives in the main inner room, and a road leads directly to the gate.On the main road, a group of cavalry surrounded a man in a black dragon robe, flying domineeringly and arrogantly, getting closer and closer.When he got close, the man flew off his horse and walked towards Ah Jiu with a smile on his face.

You really don't have a long memory, you were held hostage by me once, and you still dare to walk in front of me!Ajiu looked at him contemptuously.

The prince smiled and cupped his hands at Mrs. Fang and Lin Youhui, "Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Lin, come here alone in a hurry, begging for forgiveness." After saying a few polite words, he lowered his head and smiled gently at Ah Jiu, "Ajiu, I have captured the palace, this world is mine now, come with me."

Both Mrs. Fang and Lin Youhui were trembling with anger, their faces flushed.Ajiu squeezed the hands of the two of them, signaling them to keep silent, grandma, mother, this bastard, let me deal with it.

Ajiu took two steps forward, the prince showed a satisfied and gentle smile on his face, "Ajiu, come on, I will treat you very well." She is beautiful, intelligent, and can give birth to the future emperor. Will you not like it?

Ajiu asked very carefully: "You have conquered the imperial palace, then, have you persuaded the civil servants? How many ministers are willing to recognize your status, and are willing to persuade you to enter the table?"

The prince smiled happily, "There will be. Ah Jiu, with the knife resting on his neck, nine and a half out of ten people will nod in agreement."

"What about the remaining half, do you want to kill it?" Ajiu frowned, "What you want is people's hearts and sincerity, so why bother to use violence, it's bloody and terrifying."

The prince knew that she was worried about the stubborn old Pei Ge, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I won't kill the remaining half either. I will persuade him, slowly, Ajiu, I am very happy." patient."

If you are patient, you should stay in Nanjing Ansheng now, okay?Ah Jiu felt contemptuous in her heart.

Ajiu said slowly: "The ministers are on the persuasion table, and you can refuse it two or three times, then you can obediently obey and ascend the throne as emperor. At that time, if you want to amnesty the world and win people's hearts, you must be busy for a long time. After a few more months, the world will be peaceful, and you can probably start thinking about enriching the harem."

The prince stared at Ajiu twice, very displeased, "Why do you have to wait for a few months? Ajiu, I came here specially to pick you up."

"I don't want to just go with you so casually!" Ajiu said decisively, "With no matchmaker, no appointment, no ceremony, what do you think I am?"

Ajiu was very angry.

The prince persuaded her, "What's the matter, I will replenish it to you later. Ajiu, you will be the most honorable woman in the harem, and no one can compare to you."

Ajiu took a step back, pulled out the dagger from her sleeve, put it on her neck suddenly, and said loudly: "If you force me to follow you so rashly, I will show you to death!" She opened her eyes wide, Furious, it was obvious that it was true.

The prince sighed.This little girl's beauty is beauty, wisdom is wisdom, but it's just a headache to hold a knife at every turn.It was the first time that she held her highness as a hostage, but this time, she had a sharp weapon across her neck, wanting to stab her resentfully.

"At least welcome me with the etiquette of an imperial concubine!" Ah Jiu shouted.

Seeing the prince hesitated, she pointed the dagger at her throat and wanted to stab it hard!The prince was out of his wits, "Okay, according to you, when I finish my work, I will welcome you with the guard of honor of the imperial concubine! Ajiu, you wait for me."

The prince came here in high spirits, but returned disappointed.

Ah Jiu put down the dagger, sweat rolled down her forehead.Finally got the bastard out of the way...

Lin Youhui and Mrs. Fang came up anxiously, and Ajiu waved at them, "Let's not talk about these trivial matters. The prince said that he captured the palace, is it true or not? Grandpa the concierge didn't come back. We don't know what happened outside." Details."

The soldiers surrounding Pei's mansion hadn't been withdrawn yet, and the Pei family was in a hurry and couldn't get out.It is not known what is going on outside.

From the direction of the palace, there were still shouts of killing.

"The prince did not capture the palace." Pei Wei and his siblings listened carefully and concluded, "The prince said that he has captured the palace. Either he is lying or he is hysterical."

If he really captured the palace, what's the matter with the shouts of killing?Do you beat yourself up?

The porter didn't come back until noon.When he came back, there was no more shouting and smoke, "It's over. The prince's party, all of them were captured." The porter said briefly.

Mrs. Fang fainted happily.

Daughters-in-law and grandchildren surrounded the old man and shed tears.

In the afternoon, Mr. Pei Ge, Uncle Pei, and Second Master Pei were sent back by the palace chariot. The father and son all looked haggard, but they were all in good spirits.The relatives met each other and sighed. Ajiu held the hands of grandfather, eldest father, and father to look them over from head to toe, and then snuggled into the arms of Second Master Pei, weeping silently.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 17th year of Tianqing, the emperor abolished the prince as a commoner and lived in a secluded palace.

In the early spring of the 18th year of Tianqing, the emperor announced to the world that Shanzhi, the tenth son of the emperor, would be the crown prince. Tired, not daring to relax. Continuing Ying Hongxu, trembling at night and night, looking up to the ancestor Mo Lie Zhao Fou, entrusting him with the most important, inheriting and celebrating, and endowed in Yuanliang. My tenth son is kind and straight, smart, benevolent and filial, belonging to God's will, This is to comply with the first imperial edict, to record the rites and rituals, and to obey the public opinion. I would like to inform the world, the ancestral temple, and the country. For a long time, thinking about all kinds of opportunities in a day can't be long, I order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend the Wenhua Palace, divide the administration of affairs, manage the army and supervise the country, and all the affairs played by the ministers will be decided by the crown prince."
