Chapter 520 (1/2)
At the end of December, every family was busy. The capital is rich and powerful. As long as there are good things, they will be looted as soon as they are listed. However, because the South Korean government is still filial piety, so the mansion is still relatively quiet.
Han Gao hurried into Han Jianming's study from outside. Yes, Tan Jianming is playing chess with Mr. Zhao in the room. Han Gao did not dare to disturb him. He didn't get the news until the chess game was over. ”Duke, the emperor has a stroke.”
Han Jianming stood up and asked, ”how did you have a stroke?”
Han Gao shook his head and said, ”I heard it was caused by an old disease.” For what specific reason, the prince blocked the news, and they couldn't find out. The main reason was that the strength of the government was not good, and the information they got was limited.
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, ”it's the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. If it's just a general illness, it will be concealed.”. It must be very serious now. ”
Han Jianming thought for a moment and said, ”wait and see what happens.” Anyway, they are in filial piety, even if the prince is at home with the Song family, they will not be involved.
The emperor was not seriously ill, but saw a gorgeous lady who wanted to be spoiled. The body is empty originally, still eat the thing that cheer up, didn't wait to spoil that woman to draw directly past. The palace maid saw the emperor faint and killed herself by hitting the pillar.
The emperor spent a whole night in Taiyi to wake up. However, the emperor suffered a stroke and was unable to get up and speak.
When Yu Chen got the news, he knew it was wrong: ”let's go and find out. What's going on?” Since the last time the emperor was ill, most of the people around him were eunuchs, and a few of them were old and decrepit mothers. Well, how can I fall in love with the beautiful maids? There must be something fishy in it.
But mother GUI did not agree with Yu Chen's doing so, saying, ”it's better for us not to interfere with the affairs in the imperial palace.” Mother GUI doesn't want Yuchen to be involved in the palace.
Jade Chen shakes his head and says, ”I have discretion.”
Although mother GUI didn't want to, she had to compromise. In the evening, mother GUI told Yuchen the news she got: ”Niang, this matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. As for who is behind it, I don't know for the time being.”
Yu Chen, with a thoughtful look, said, ”it's interesting. Who is behind this? What is the picture? ” Prince can't be. He's already in prison. There's no need to kill his father. As for Yujia and Songjia, they would not poison the emperor. The prince always wanted to weaken the strength of the two families, so both of them must be looking forward to the emperor's better life. After all, although the prince is in charge of the country, he is a prince after all, and many things will be constrained.
Mother GUI shook her head, saying she did not know. But looking at Yuchen's smile, mother GUI asked, ”princess, do you know who it is?”
Yuchen shook his head and said, ”I'm not a fortune teller. I can pinch and calculate. But I always think it can't be a coincidence. ”
Mother GUI said, ”princess, it's not suitable to go on with this.” If the imperial concubine or prince of song knew that they had planted people in the palace, it would not look good at that time.
Yu Chen nodded: ”put it down temporarily.”
New year's Eve is the day of family reunion. Usually at this time, they go to the palace to worship the emperor and empress. The government is still in the filial piety period this year, so they didn't go. On New Year's Eve, the family ate together.
As he was eating, the housekeeper came in quickly from the outside. He did not avoid it. He said loudly, ”the Duke, the old lady, the emperor is dying.”
Han Jianming listened to his hand and asked, ”did the emperor die?” He thought the emperor would have to endure another March and may! As a result, less than three days later, it's gone.
Qiushi is not as calm as Han Jianming, saying, ”hurry up and withdraw the banquet and take out the white cloth to make the Xiaoyi.” Although there were filial piety clothes before, they can't be reused and must be done.
When they were ready, they went into the palace and wept. This is the rule. The emperor died, all the officials of civil and military affairs and all levels of higher orders had to go to the palace to mourn.
At the gate of the palace, Han Jianming was separated from Qiu's and other women's families. Before leaving, Han Jianming told ye's family, ”take good care of your mother.” Han Jianming would say that because every time he met with a great funeral, he fell ill and poured out a group of people. Especially in this cold day, it's even worse to go to mourning. Every time they come down, half of them have to fall down, and the older ones can't bear to follow them directly. Although Qiu's health is good, he may not be able to carry such a funeral.
Han Jianming's worry is not unreasonable. Qiushi was cold on this day, and the next day he started to burn. Han Jianming felt sorry for his mother, so he went directly to the imperial palace to report the incident, which made Qiu no longer go to the imperial palace to cry for mourning. But ye and Lu Xiu follow each other to the palace before dawn every day, and come back when it's dark. Even if exhausted, no one dares to have half a word to complain, all resist hard.
When the emperor went to the funeral, ye and Lu Xiu lost a lot of weight.
The emperor left, and after the burial, the prince was about to ascend the throne. The relationship between Han Jianming and the prince has been light. The prince once drew Han Jianming in, but he refused. This will, Han Jianming some worry, said to Mr. Zhao: ”you say the prince will not hate it?”
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, ”don't worry, my Lord. When the prince ascended the throne, he must be thinking about how to seize power from Yu Xiang and the Song family. ” Although Han Jianming is the Duke of the state, he is not powerful. If the prince wants revenge, he must be firmly established.
