Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

King Wen not only felt strange, but also felt a bit inexplicable and absurd.

That person is Jiang Yi.

No matter how he thought about it, he always felt that something was wrong. He always felt that something was wrong.

He wandered in the study, pacing.

I listened to the chatter of the counselors. Most of them were confused and could only think about it for the prince, but in the end there was nothing interesting or insightful.

When King Wen heard them talking, his heart became even more restless. He couldn't help but feel excited and confused, and finally he was a little eager to try.

King Wen, who was pacing in the study, looked out the window from time to time to see if the housekeeper who was inquiring about the news was back.

He and the group of counselors knew deep down that something must have happened in Kyoto. Otherwise, how could His Majesty be so sudden and abrupt?
King Wen is now in a mess in his heart, that is, he looks majestic on the surface, but in fact he is just a paper tiger, which can be broken with a poke.

He just cared about image and demeanor, so he didn't panic.

But to be able to push the wise and resourceful King Wen to such an extent in the past, His Majesty is really powerful.

When the sun was about to set, the dusk fell heavily and the sun became darker.

Candles were also lit in the study room of the palace, and the candlelight flickered, revealing warm colors.

At this time, King Wen was looking forward to it. The housekeeper who had gone to inquire about the news came back and hurried to the study.

When the housekeeper came running out of breath, King Wen couldn't wait for him to speak and asked impatiently: "Did you find anything? What happened in the capital again?"

When he said this, King Wen frowned.

In his opinion, the intelligence network of Prince Wen's Mansion is now completely hopeless.Moreover, since His Majesty's people are here, he is destined to be hindered in gathering information.

But something happened, but he didn't know what was going on?This always made King Wen feel a little uncomfortable.He hated it when he was kept in the dark.

Even if it's just a chess piece, he wants to know what the overall situation is.

But those ambitions and decadence were quickly brought into view by King Wen and suppressed.

He began to listen patiently, looking forward to the news from the butler.

"Your Majesty, I have asked the nobles who are close to me everywhere, and I have also asked well-informed people in the capital. It is said that some time ago, His Majesty was ill, and he did not attend the morning court for more than half a month due to this illness. In the end, it was because of The report of the Northern Army alarmed the Holy Spirit."

"Military report?" King Wen's frown deepened.

These days, he is either preparing his itinerary or on his way to the capital.

Regarding matters such as military intelligence and military intelligence, even if he wanted to know, regardless of the people around His Majesty, it would be difficult for him to find out about military intelligence and military intelligence.

Aren't things like this always confidential?
Thinking of this, King Wen looked at the housekeeper with a bit of confusion.

This housekeeper has been with King Wen for five or six years and has always been King Wen's right-hand man and his most trusted confidant.It can be said that since King Wen established the palace, in the entire palace, apart from the princess who shared the same bed and had a mutual understanding with each other, he was the person whom King Wen trusted the most.

Similarly, the housekeeper also has a very good understanding of his master's habits and thoughts.

Just by raising his eyes, the housekeeper knew what King Wen wanted to ask.

Before King Wen could speak, he gave a straightforward answer: "Master, you don't know something. This news spread throughout the capital yesterday. However, it is said that it was not a leak of military information, but refugees rushing to Kyoto from the north. There was news from some merchants. It was spreading like wildfire, and the people above wanted to rectify it, but you know, this situation can be said to be irresponsible. His Majesty was furious, and sent the red guards and the Ministry of Punishment to Check, but there are no results yet.”

These words made King Wen stunned for a moment, and then there was a chill in his heart.

'Could it be...'

'No...it must be because of this rumor. It must be because of the emergence of this rumor that Jiang Yi...'

Thinking of this, King Wen suddenly realized something was wrong.

Since His Majesty can react so quickly in such a situation, then...did His Majesty have this intention for a long time?
This?
Did you have this intention for a long time and let him lead the troops?

Let him lead the army to resist the Qingyi people?
King Wen was suddenly speechless and choked, and there was a feeling of emotion in his heart that he didn't know how to express.

"I misunderstood him...it turns out Jiang Yi is a true gentleman..."

King Wen thought about these things and suddenly sighed.

The butler looked helpless for a while. He first tilted his head and looked at the gentlemen's expressions of frowning or curling their lips. Then he smiled bitterly and reminded his prince: "Master, your Majesty's name must be avoided. It cannot be pronounced."

King Wen smiled cheerfully, and his mood was much better now than when he was waiting anxiously.

"Well, I understand. Besides, Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will definitely not argue with me..."

Speaking of this, King Wen recalled Jiang Yi's expression when he received the imperial edict today.

Cold and arrogant, even unwilling to say a word to him.

King Wen felt that he should be successful, and secretly thought that it was not good.It is estimated that his previous attempt to commit suicide has completely offended His Majesty.

Even if he regrets it now, it will be too late.

King Wen had a wry smile on his face, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

How did he know that Jiang Yi would really let him out?

I thought that even if Tang Jie's troops made great achievements this time, even if he didn't die, he would still be destined to be imprisoned.

For a while, when he looked at the princess, he almost wanted to divorce her.After all, who knows whether the next imperial edict will be to stab someone to death, to imprison someone, or to harm the whole family?
Now this imperial edict must make His Majesty feel very uncomfortable, right?
King Wen rarely wanted to apologize to anyone.

He once showed his sharpness in letters and memorials, but it was just because he thought he was about to die.If he was waiting to die, why should he care about his imperial power and status? He would scold no matter who he was.

But now he has gained practical ability and the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.

It's just that the person who gave him this opportunity seemed...as if...he had been deeply offended.

Thinking of this, King Wen pursed his lips uncomfortably. He pretended to be honorable and said to the housekeeper: "I will hand over a sign tomorrow and I will go into the palace to see my mother and concubine."

The butler stood aside and responded with a smile.He knew that King Wen had a rather arrogant character, but now, he also knew that why was he just visiting the concubine in the palace?I'm afraid I have to go to the palace to renew the brotherhood.

"If you bring gifts of special products from the fiefdom, I believe the concubine will also be very happy."

"Okay, go get ready."

King Wen smiled with a smile on his face.This was a rare good mood and good weather for him these days.

……

The next day, in the palace
King Wen handed over the sign early in the morning and went to visit the concubine.

It involves the feudal king meeting the concubine.The palace has always been very accommodating. Moreover, the love between mother and child is deep, the elders and young ones are in order, which is the place of human relations.

Therefore, it was very easy for King Wen to enter the palace.

Concubine Jin was very depressed after the death of the late emperor, but at that time King Wen was still around.But after he became a vassal, King Wen could no longer see his mother and concubine often.When mother and son met today, both of them burst into tears.

King Wen knelt in front of Concubine Jin, his eyes turned red and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Mother..."

"My son..."

Concubine Jin was dressed in plain clothes, and her figure was even more thin. She touched King Wen's face, and tears flowed down like strings of beads.

Both mother and son were in tears. Even a man like King Wen rarely showed his weakness in front of his mother.

After the two cried for a while, Princess Jin pulled King Wen up from the ground. The mother and son entered the back room and began to talk to each other.

"Son, now that you are taking care of yourself in the fiefdom, why do you want to go to a dangerous place like the border?"

Concubine Jin has lost all her thoughts since the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Now she just wants her only child to live in peace. Why does God always deny her wishes?

As she said this, Princess Jin also felt a bit resentful towards Jiang Yi.

She and the late emperor had only one child.

King Wen was not only the eldest son of the late emperor who had high hopes, but also the only support for Princess Jin.

Originally, she was just thinking that in a few years, she would beg His Majesty to let King Wen take her to the fiefdom.In this way, I have a son by my side, and my son has grandchildren and granddaughters.

What a happy life that is.This was the only thought that Princess Jin had in the deep palace.

King Wen took his mother's hand. He did not want his mother to misunderstand His Majesty again.

"Mother, you have always known this. My son has always wanted to fight on the battlefield and protect his family and country. Now it is rare that his wish can be fulfilled. Why are you unhappy?"

Concubine Jin didn't want to look at her miserable son. In her eyes, the child was just used as a weapon and didn't know what he was doing. He was just singing praises to others.

"You are so stupid"

"Mother concubine..." King Wen called out affectionately, his eyes still red, and his voice was choked with sobs.

How could Concubine Jin bear the behavior of her son whom she had not seen for a long time? She sighed.

"That's it, that's it. You've been in such a hurry these days that you must have neglected your food. I knew you were like this, so I'll send you the food soon tomorrow."

King Wen was a little dumbfounded. He declined and said, "It's not yet noon."

But he was glared at by Princess Jin: "What's wrong before noon? If I let you eat one more bite, I will feel better..."

"Okay, I'll eat it," King Wen said with a smile.

He kept looking at Concubine Jin, his eyes soft, as if he wanted to imprint his mother in his mind.

This meal took a long time, almost more than two hours.

Most of the time, King Wen was working hard while talking to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin kept serving dishes to King Wen, and almost all the dishes on the table were served.

But even so, hot dishes are constantly being brought from the small kitchen.

In the end, King Wen couldn't eat it, and after several refusals, Concubine Jin reluctantly asked people to take the food down.

After eating this meal, Wen Wangzhi felt that his belt was a little tight, which showed that he was really full.

After finishing the meal, it was almost noon.

While King Wen was talking to his mother, he also asked someone to report to Chongguang Hall that he would be visiting soon.

It's not that he was just setting things up to make His Majesty wait.

It is true that Jiang Yi has been too busy these days, with officials from all walks of life coming and going in Chongguang Hall.

If he hadn't gone to report in advance without anyone, I'm afraid Jiang Yi wouldn't be able to see him today.

Concubine Jin, who was sitting opposite her, had her whole heart focused on her son.

When she learned that there was a little granddaughter on the way, Princess Jin was so happy.

When she was in the capital, she couldn't see her granddaughter often, but at least she had a son.

But now she can't see her son, nor can she see her grandson, which can be said to have taken away most of her interest.

Nowadays, she can only chat with other concubines on weekdays. In the past, when the Queen Mother was around, she could also get together.Now that the Empress Dowager Cheng is gone, the other sisters are also in poor health. Some are sick, some are not sick, and they feel miserable all day long.

Now my son is going to the border, but at least my granddaughter and daughter-in-law can stay with him in the capital for a while.

Thinking of this, Princess Jin began to order people to open the warehouse and prepare the meeting gifts for the children.

King Wen sat aside, feeling warm in his heart.

After a while, a eunuch in blue clothes came in and said that His Majesty asked him to go.

King Wen said goodbye to Concubine Jin, and left the specialties he prepared for his mother before leaving in a hurry.

Afterwards, the group walked around the palace several times and arrived at Chongguang Hall.

At this time, in addition to Jiang Yi and Jiang Sile, there were people in Chongguang Hall.

Why is Jiang Sile here?

This is a long story.

Originally, she wanted to say goodbye, but now the Queen Mother has been buried, and Jiang Yi's body has been replenished. The imperial doctor can keep an eye on the rest, and she doesn't need to worry about her younger sister.

Besides, during this period of time, he was tired of traveling and traveling, and he had to take care of Jiang Yi. Jiang Sile was a patient himself, and now he was even more tired.

Originally, she wanted to leave right now.

A Yi and the brothers who came with him have almost gone around the capital. They have seen all the tiled buildings in the streets that need to be seen.This is also thanks to the people from the Princess Mansion, who took Ayi to visit a few people.Otherwise, those of them who are not familiar with Kyoto may get lost.Even if they don't get lost, they may be beaten up by some indignant 'righteous' people when they are alone.

The Qingyi people or the people from the North who were settling down or doing business in the capital these days, because of the war in the south some time ago, the Nanman caravans also encountered this situation many times and were attacked by thugs with sacks.

Dali Temple is presiding over the matter, but based on the news Jiang Sile heard in the palace, the matter may not have progressed yet.I'm afraid it's a small punishment but a big warning, so it's over.

However, Jiang Sile accepted Jiang Mingchan's overture.

This sister of hers should not be underestimated. She has bribed countless people with such thoughtful and appropriate methods.But judging from her ability to save the day from danger, it seems...

Oh, quite a few.
