Chapter 298 (1/2)
More than ten days later, the situation in the capital tended to be stable. The remaining evils of the king of Qin were at the end of a powerful crossbow, and it was only a matter of time. Lu Bingsheng went to Beijing to give great help to the king of Jin. The king of Jin took advantage of the situation to hand over all the defense of the capital and the suburbs of Beijing to him, and was fully responsible for solving the follow-up removal of the remaining evils of the king of Qin.
The capital has experienced a looting trial to seize the throne. There are no requirements for who will succeed to the throne. As long as it can return peace to the world, it doesn't matter what king it is.
Moreover, the king of Jin has done a series of work to appease the people. Compared with the unstable king of Qin, who has brought two throne wars, and the little king of Qin, who has never heard of it, the king of Jin can undoubtedly represent the will of God and the people, so it is logical to succeed to the throne.
As for the dignitaries and ministers in the court, they have been hit hard. It is unnecessary to mention the abolition of the crown prince and the king of Qin. No matter how capable they are, they have no possibility of succeeding to the throne. The three princes who have placed their hopes on one after another have shown their potential in the face of national unrest. They can't protect themselves. How can we protect a country? The significance of a capable adult emperor to the country is self-evident.
Moreover, the king of Jin really saved the lives of many dignitaries. I'm afraid he can't stand it if he stands up against it at this time. So it's natural for the king of Jin to succeed to the throne when the situation in the capital tends to be stable. After all, the country can't be without a king for a day.
Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi have been staying in the palace for a while. It's hard to stay after the war, but the Hou house is in ruins and they have become homeless wretches.
Gu Yun said goodbye to the king of Jin, ”since the overall situation has been decided, I will take my daughter-in-law back to the sudden garden. I have no other requirements. Just lend peizixi to me.”
The king of Jin was so upset that he couldn't see that Gu Yun was all right. When he heard the speech, his forehead suddenly jumped, ”I can't afford a mansion for you! It's like you're willing to live in the Marquis house. What do you do so far back to the garden? Sincerely see that I'm busy!”
After pretending to complain, the king of Jin slowed down his tone and coaxed him. ”Besides, where is safe in the suburbs of Beijing now? Zou yuan hasn't caught it yet. Who knows where the mouse is hidden. I can rest assured that you live under your eyes. As for Pei Zixi, he is about to become your special imperial doctor. Can you bear to let him run at both ends?” the king of Jin rubbed his eyebrows, ”Well, look at the place in the capital. I'll send someone to clean it up for you and live in the palace for the time being.”
Gu Yun looked reluctant, but the protest was invalid, so he had to admit his fate. ”It doesn't need to be too big. Just be quiet. It's better not to be a place where corrupt officials have lived. It's unlucky, not even those who have died. It's more unlucky. There should be flowers, trees and streams. The layout should not be too vulgar. Well, that's all for the time being.”
The king of Jin took a smoke from the corner of his mouth and resisted the impulse to smoke him. ”How about I build a mansion for you now?”
”That's not necessary.” Gu Yun was probably ready to cry the king of Jin completely. Did he encourage him: ”I think the original King's house of Jin is good. It's far away from these noisy aristocratic family dignitaries. There's still no need to clean it up. Although the construction style is a little tacky because of someone's unspeakable aesthetics, I'll just live in it first.”
He made do with it!
The king of Jin held down the green tendon that was about to burst and silently recited a few Vajra sutras. Then he decided not to see the general knowledge with him, ”be sure, get out of here!”
Gu Yun smiled and rolled away like a stream.
Xie Jingxi recuperated in the palace and never saw a guest. The queen suddenly called her over this day. She thought she would leave the palace soon, so she decided to go and have a look.
Since the civil strife in the capital, the concubines in the harem have been silent. They stay in the harem and say nothing. The queen will suddenly find her. Nine times out of ten, she has something to ask.
The queen was dressed in plain clothes, with simple decoration and no powder. She ate and prayed in the palace every day. She lived like an old nun on the mountain. Xie Jingxi almost didn't recognize her at first sight. Now the queen has completely become an old woman, just like ordinary people.
”You're coming.” the queen nodded to her, omitting many greetings. ”Sit down, I don't have any palace rules and etiquette here.”
Xie Jingxi smiled, ”I don't know what my mother calls me?”
”My sister-in-law told me a lot about you. Anyway, we should thank you. You don't have to match up with the queen. I'm going to ask for an order to leave Beijing. Please come here. In addition to saying thank you face to face, I also want to ask you to help deliver a message to the king of Jin.”
The queen had long planned to leave Beijing with the third prince. She only mentioned it several times and was rejected for various reasons. So she wanted to ask her for help. Although Xie Jingxi thought that the king of Jin would not really refuse in the end, she nodded and agreed.
”I think the king of Jin will understand the wishes of the empress. If you or the third prince have any requirements, you might as well mention it to the princess of Jin. In this way, the king of Jin will accept it.”
The queen bent her mouth and said, ”thank you.”
Xie Jingxi nodded and said goodbye. The queen looked at her eyes, which always meant many unfinished words, but she didn't say anything at last, just said thank you again.
