[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 247

The older the emperor was, the more he liked to seek immortals and visit Taoism. He would believe any serious or unscrupulous Taoist as long as he dared to fool him.

The main reason for this, of course, is that he is weak at the age of 50, cannot sleep well at night, has no appetite to eat, is always listless during the day, and cannot stand up in front of the fresh and lovely young concubine.What are you waiting for if you don't take medicine at this time!

The prince was under 30 years old, he ate well and slept soundly, and he didn't understand the emperor's sadness at all.Just blindly admonishing my father, you can't take medicine like this, and you will lose your energy after a while. If things go on like this, you will die easily. Many emperors in ancient and modern times died of taking pills.

Emperor: How angry!Furious into a puffer fish!My son's rebellion breaks my heart!

The atmosphere in the court hall became more and more gloomy and gloomy. With the order of transfer, the prince's henchmen/confidants were transferred away from the capital.

The little transparent second prince was not disturbed, wrote letters to his fiancée every day, and went out of the palace once a week to meet A-Jiang and go hunting.

The emperor naturally knew that the second prince wrote letters to the Taifu's daughter, so he specially called me to ask me: "Second son, I heard that you and the Taifu often have correspondence, what do you say?" Does the kid who looks neutral have ulterior motives?

The second prince blushed: "Father, I, I, I, I will tell her what flowers will be planted in the palace in the future, and what wines will be delicious. It's just gossip."

It would be strange if the emperor could believe this. The second child has been close to the prince since he was a child, and married the daughter of the Taifu, which is like a subordinate of the prince. "Bring it to me and have a look."

The second prince was just going to get the letterhead he had in stock.Duobao next to him presented the letter handed over by Mrs. Hu, Xiao Transparent's heart tightened.

The emperor took a look at it, and what was said inside was: [The composition of 'Neon Clothes and Feather Dress Dance' is said to come from Tang Xuanzong's dream of a fairy. Has he seen a fairy?I heard that there is a kind of medicine in the Western Regions, after taking it, you can dream about what you want?really? 】

The emperor asked lightly: "Why didn't you start and sign the money?"

The second prince was a little bit chilled, and then he felt relieved. He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, she said that our private correspondence is not in accordance with the etiquette system. If we don't sign the money, lest others find out, it will be bad for me and her reputation."

The emperor asked: "Aren't you afraid to confuse the letter paper? The handwriting is very ordinary, and there is no date."

The second prince said obediently: "After receiving the letter, I will label it in order. It is only for collection and not for other purposes. It doesn't matter if there is no label. Miss Hu's handwriting is quite satisfactory, very good."

The emperor glanced at his second son, he was neither ugly nor handsome, neither smart nor stupid, just mediocre.Then he yawned: "Second boy, what are you talking about with a woman? You can see that her mind is full of wild thoughts. What do women know? Hmph. You haven't had a concubine yet. I heard that you haven't even touched a single maid. What, no?"

The second prince blushed angrily, and pretended to be shy and prevaricated with the 'words of a sage'. The book was not read for nothing, it was used to deceive people.

Sure enough, the emperor believed it, and secretly laughed at his second son for being so innocent, he would really quit if he said he was not allowed to do it, he was really honest.But it's true to be honest, it's better to be honest. "Bring the golden elixir that Taoist Qingfeng entered, second child, eat one, it will prolong your life and make you immortal."

The second prince took the golden pill and said, "Thank you, father." He put it in his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.

The emperor laughed and applauded: "That's right! My good boy, the emperor will not harm you."

The second prince coughed and covered his mouth: "Water! Water!" All he swallowed was a mouthful of saliva, and the golden core was held under his tongue without swallowing. He wanted to throw up while coughing and was afraid of being seen through.

The maid hurriedly brought water to him.

The emperor caressed his beard and smiled: "You eat very happily, very good. I gave the golden pill to the prince yesterday, and he not only refused to eat it, but also spoke rudely. The Taoist who pollutes the Qingfeng is a demon, and I am really angry."

When the second prince heard that the emperor liked to give people pills indiscriminately, he practiced secretly at home how to speak with the pills in his mouth. He put a pearl under his tongue and swallowed several pearls before practicing.

After swallowing the pearls, he stared worriedly at the dirt in the bucket every day to see if there were any round pearls. He didn't feel relieved until the servants checked out a lot of pearls.Now he can speak clearly and speak fluently: "Brother Prince may think that golden pills are a rare thing, and all of them are for His Majesty to eat."

The emperor complained loudly, and the second prince kept holding the golden elixir, feeling that the golden elixir was about to melt.Covering up a hiccup, he spit out the sticky golden elixir on the handkerchief and put it away.

The emperor asked: "How is it? Are you comfortable after eating? I'll bring you some more."

The second prince said seriously: "Father, there is no need for this, it's not sweet."

The emperor laughed: "Hahahaha, do you think it's a jelly bean! Tasting this stuff can prolong your life, and it takes 1000 taels of silver to make one. If you don't want it, then forget it. Don't regret it when you get old."

The second prince was well versed in the way of fooling the emperor, so he put on a show and said hesitantly, "It's so expensive, father, give me a few more."

"Didn't you say it's not sweet?"

"Even if the minister doesn't eat it, it's good to sell it to the dignitaries in the mirror."

"Go, go, where did you learn to be so petty!"

The second prince didn't want to go to Jindan, he went back with the letter, spread the letter paper on the table, wiped off his cold sweat and sighed.Miss Hu guessed right, she was right, the emperor actually intercepted the letter to see.He didn't believe my son at all. Fortunately, Miss Hu was well prepared and wrote it in slang.

It seems to be a normal letter, but in fact the two of them have agreed long ago. In a letter, the most noble person or thing is used to refer to the emperor, and other things are covered up. If the two sentences do not echo at all, Well the first sentence is nonsense.Others rely on guessing. Since the two have a good understanding, they can use this method to communicate.

The second prince wiped off his cold sweat and began to decipher the letter. The first sentence was actually nonsense, a pretense, and the second sentence was the real point.The translation is: The emperor likes to eat Jindan so much, it must be that Jindan can give him what he wants, and it is immortal.

The second prince replied: 【It is recorded in the book that Tang Xuanzong dreamed of immortals, heard Ziyun song, and adapted the 'Neon Clothes and Feather Dress Dance' based on it.If there is such a medicine, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should take it to see Mrs. Li, and Tang Xuanzong should take it to see Yang Yuhuan and Concubine Mei.Those two women were fat and thin, one was gorgeous in writing, and the other was amazing in dancing. With such a woman by his side, Xuanzong would have no regrets.It's just that the two women couldn't coexist in the harem at that time, and they were moved upon hearing the news. 】It is an agreement to act on hearing the wind, and it is a secret signal that the letterhead will be checked.

The emperor intercepted it and looked at it again, and laughed in his heart that my son is so stupid, and the woman praised other women for her beauty, you wait for her to marry and settle the score with you after autumn.These women are completely unreasonable when they are jealous.After you take a concubine, she will also be moved by the wind.

How did he know that Miss Hu deciphered the letter after receiving it: the first sentence is nonsense according to the usual practice.There is no such drug at all, only illusions and liars.The woman is so beautiful, isn't it fun to sing and dance, why do you need to take pills.The emperor opened my letter.

She still replied modestly.The emperor felt bored after dismantling it a few times. The boy and girl Hongyan passed on the letter, but it was not about love, and he didn't see anything exciting. It was really boring.I thought I could see the erotic poems written by the second prince or the love poems written by the Hu family, but the two talked about the past and the present to food, daily life and luxury accessories.

"Second brother, let's get married, don't write letters like this." The emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

The second prince blinked shyly: "Is that okay?" He was only 16 years old.

Of course... no!

It's not that the second prince's age is bad, it's that after taking the elixir given to him by the emperor, the prince suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground with bleeding from his mouth and nose. He didn't die, but just suffered a serious illness.

The emperor was terrified, could it be that there was something wrong with the golden core!Could Jindan eat dead people?A eunuch was called to test the poison, and he ate dozens of pills in a row. The eunuch hiccupped, and after a while, he began to have nosebleeds. He ate too much ginseng, but he did not die.

The prince was treated for a while, acupuncture was used to induce vomiting, and several pots of mung bean soup were poured to induce vomiting, and finally he vomited out.After he woke up, he could not wait to send a sincere memorial to the emperor, advising him to kill Yaodao and stop taking pills from now on.

The emperor was skeptical, after all, he had believed in Taoist Qingfeng for more than a year, and he couldn't let go so soon.Although Daoist Qingfeng was sent to prison and did not take the pill that night, he felt uncomfortable after stopping the medicine for three days.

When the second prince came to pay his respects, he wanted to persuade the emperor to kill Taoist Qingfeng quickly, but he didn't dare to say anything when he saw his ugly face as if he was about to kill someone.After going back, I thought I was cowardly, but there was nothing I could do.

The swindling Taoist Qingfeng has accumulated a lot of money, and his apprentices are working in the prison. The emperor didn't order people to use torture, let alone now.Also, those who bribed him and promoted him to official positions are also in danger. If Taoist Qingfeng falls, they will also be liquidated.In the affairs of the world, a gentleman can't plan against a villain, and the crown prince didn't think that the ministers of the court actually helped Taoist Qingfeng.

There was a man named Jiang Shanhou in the court, who became his godson by worshiping Taoist Qingfeng, and became the censor.He has been reprimanded twice by the prince, and he thinks that he is a thorn in the prince's side, and that once Taoist Qingfeng falls, he will die.So he decided to act first, and wrote a memorandum: to testify that the prince took poison on purpose, so as to drive a wedge between the emperor and Taoist Qingfeng.

The emperor was shocked!The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked!This guy is really good at talking!

After the emperor sent an embroidered envoy to investigate, it was really fucking true!There is no need to say more about the disagreement between the embroidered clothes envoy and the prince.

This is reasonable, because the memorial to the crown prince was obviously written before the poisoning.

The second prince: "It's impossible! Brother Prince won't do this!"

The emperor pointed at him in bewilderment: "Pull it away and lock it up! Qin Tianjian, it's a good day to marry him!"

The second prince struggled and said: "Father! Father! Your Majesty! Your Majesty has learned from you, Your Majesty!"

His majestic prince was taken away by the eunuchs and guards.

The second prince was locked up and waited to get married. He was not happy at all!

He was locked in his own mansion, but he couldn't go out, couldn't send news to the outside world, and couldn't even write to Miss Hu.

All I can do every day is to wait silently for the court post report, and I don't hear any news other than that.

What is waiting is not a cessation of things, but a big wedding.

On the day the concubine of the Hu family married in, she drank a cup of wine docilely and silently, and lowered her head shyly.

The second prince saw that her eyes were a little swollen, she was more listless than usual, and she looked even uglier.After driving away the others, he reached out and touched her hand: "We are finally married, you, why are you unhappy?"

Miss Hu was a little dull all over, and she whispered dully at the night of the bridal chamber: "The prince was dismissed for deceiving the emperor. Taifu Hu was not good at teaching, and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan. My father was seriously ill on the way. He was almost 70 years old. [-]th birthday at home."

On the night of the bridal chamber, the second prince curled up under the quilt, covered his head and bit his fist, crying so hard that he didn't dare to speak out: "He said that the prince's brother conspired against him! Why didn't the prince's brother put poison in the elixir he took! Only then can he kill him." Daoist Qingfeng! If the sky has eyes and makes me succeed, I will definitely show him what treason is!"

Miss Hu lay beside her quietly, neither crying nor speaking.

The second prince cried and hiccupped: "Don't be sad, hiccup, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law ~ hiccup ~, there will be."

Miss Hu's tone was soft and peaceful: "From now on, if the emperor talks about the crown prince and my father, please keep your mouth shut, and don't say whether it's right or wrong."

Second Prince: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo owl ?

Miss Hu looked at the red candles in the room coldly: "Taoist Qingfeng, Concubine Zhang Gui, Ma Jieyu, Yushi Jiang Shanhou, Yushi Li Lide, Minister of Criminal Justice Wang Shanyou, Minister of Justice Liu Ai, Sheren Bai Yingxue... Embroiderer." She named more than 40 people.

The second prince understood what she meant, and cried, "I remember! What else?"

Miss Hu was terribly calm, and said softly, "What do you want? Your Highness, what do you want?"

The second prince took a heavy breath: "I, I, I want to be the prince! What do you think?" I never thought about it.

Miss Hu said: "You just need to be filial to your superiors and respectful to your corporals."

She felt cold all over, so she stretched out her hand, hugged him, and comforted him in a low voice: "Although His Royal Highness has been deposed, it may not be impossible to make a comeback. Please take care of yourself, and don't let the Holy Majesty see that you have resentment."

What my father said is right, when the emperor wants to do something, the courtiers can't defy it. It's a struggle for power, right? A struggle for power.

The second prince's tears had just stopped. Hearing what she said, he hugged her and began to cry again: "It's hard for you! I'm under house arrest in the palace. I don't know what happened outside."

Miss Hu is already Princess Hu, and she still comforted her tenderly and patiently: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has cloudy and sunny periods. Soothe Your Highness, don't make you too angry." At that time, she showed a very docile and obedient attitude towards the emperor's temptation, and she seemed at a loss after being frightened, caring about every word she said.

The emperor was a bit hesitant to marry the Hu family to the second prince. Seeing that she looked really docile and virtuous, she was not good-looking but very gentle. She was very similar to the concubine Xian in the past, so gentle that she was boring.His voice was soft, and he didn't feel that there was something wrong with the sage, and he also felt that it was wrong for the crown prince to deceive the king, and Taifu Hu was incapable of teaching.The emperor married her with confidence.

Princess Hu knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, her father was seriously ill, her brothers were exiled, and they were very old.

Although the second prince is reliable, he doesn't know what kind of character he is, and whether he can take on the big responsibility.

Losing the backing of her natal family, she was forced to carry out her plan in a different way.

On the second day of their marriage, the couple went to the palace to thank each other.

The emperor said hypocritically: "Hu Qing is getting old. I heard that he fell ill on the road. I couldn't bear it, so I sent someone to take him back to Beijing for recuperation. Even if he was demoted to a commoner, I couldn't bear to see him die on the road."

The second prince showed a sincere smile: "Father is kind."

The prince and concubine also said softly, "Thank you, Father, for your mercy, and I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my father."

Satisfied, the emperor took out the elixir: "Take one, it will help you live longer and have children."

The two of them took the elixir without blinking, and went to visit the queen again.

As soon as I arrived at the queen's place, I got the news that the emperor had a quarrel with the deposed prince and made the second prince the prince.

The author has something to say: the next chapter will write about the struggle history of Brother Zhuo and Wen Si.

These things about the emperor and empress can open a prequel, but I don't like to write about court struggles, it's too embarrassing.

But I like watching court battles, it's mind-blowing and interesting.So just keep it short.

To be honest, my favorite in the whole book is Queen and Daiyu. These two people are not easy to write, but they are so charming.

The fourth article is just the nature exposed after letting go of myself. It is easy to write, interesting, and not technically difficult hahahahaha.
