Chapter 102 Zhou Lang Canons King
Chapter 102 Zhou Lang Canons King
A fox was galloping through the woods, avoiding the arrows of a flying shuttle.Suddenly there were people outflanking the front again, the fox jumped up in fright, and an arrow shot from behind hit his throat.
Jia Hu, who was dressed in a strong outfit, laughed, "Brother Yang, you are good at archery!"
Yang Jinghui was praised, but he was not satisfied, he smiled and said: "This fox is so cunning, I waited for a long time to chase it before I managed to get it. Little brother Zhou, why don't we make gestures?"
Zhou Su said enthusiastically: "I'll be the referee for you!" He looked around twice, his eyes lit up, "I see that there are a lot of pheasants over there, the two of you are limited to a quarter of an hour, and you only need to fill it up with enough time." How about hunting pheasants with a quiver and seeing who has the best aim and the most prey?"
When an arrow shoots out in the forest, who knows what it is hunting.Only pheasants are required, and the number of arrows is limited, which requires high eyesight and accuracy.
This is different from the competition between Yang and Jia that day, Jia Hu was also eager to get up to speed, and immediately said loudly: "Since Yushan is the referee, I will be added to the competition!"
Wherever he passed, the birds in the mountains and forests were startled, and a group of small animals who were originally leisurely and content panicked and fled after hearing the sound.
After a long time, all of them were sweaty, but they had cheerful smiles on their faces.They were coming back from the hills now, and their saddles were full of game.Yang Jinghui had already seen Jia Hu's skills, and he was full of praise to Zhou Lang, "Brother Lang is not weak at all, although he is young. Brother Tu Nan, you are about to be compared."
Jia Hu said with a smile: "Staying in the Imperial Academy every day, my skills will not regress! It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and my front waves will be shot to death on the beach!"
After strenuous exercise, Zhou Lang's gloomy mood also improved.Immediately, he had a good impression of Yang Jinghui, and said with a smile: "It's my uncles and brothers who let me go."
After talking and joking for a while, in the afternoon, with the help of the servant, he roasted his own prey to eat.He drank heavily and ate meat.When it was sunset again, Fang returned to the city.
Zhou Lang, who was deliberately taken out by Jia Hu to relax, was very grateful to the two uncles for their concern. Princess Wu was also pleasantly surprised to find that the eldest son, who had been away for a while and then came back, had regained a little lively nature.And an imperial decree after the Mid-Autumn Festival made everyone in Prince Wu's mansion rejoice.
It turned out that there was a family banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival today, looking at the few sons, I couldn't help feeling sad, and thinking that the residences of Prince Wu and Prince Li were still there, but the two sons were separated from him forever, so I couldn't help crying bitterly.
The queen and concubine hurriedly persuaded each other.The emperor brushed the queen away, but took the hands of the two concubines De and Shu to look back on the past.
After being humiliated by the emperor in public, the queen's face became hot, and she felt that the princes and concubines were laughing at her.Feeling ashamed and angry to death, hating the emperor for disregarding years of affection, and feeling very desolate in his heart.She lost her son, and lost the honor of the queen. She was disheartened for a while, and only thought that she would not be able to stand out in the future. She would set up a small Buddhist hall in the palace, eat fast and chant Buddha for her son and grandson, and only asked the emperor to bypass them. Once.
No matter what the queen thought, the emperor remembered the past and talked about his dead son.The eldest prince has a noble character, and was deceived by traitors, so he did something rebellious.The person is dead, but the remaining wives, concubines and children are innocent.
So the emperor decreed on the spot that Zhou Lang, the eldest son's direct son, should be named King of Hejun.
Seeing the emperor's order, He Qisheng took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and read it out, so he knew that the emperor had made a decision a long time ago and no one could allow others to question it.
Those who originally wanted to oppose, thought that Zhou Lang would not be crowned as the county king, since it would be of no benefit to him, and would also offend Concubine Jiang, the people in Prince Wu's residence, and the emperor who loves his son so dearly, the loss outweighs the gain.Seeing that King Wei was only playing with a piece of jade, he didn't come out of it.
The Seventh Prince and the other brothers were furious.Gein's older brothers were all crowned princes, but they were only county kings.Now that the eldest brother's eldest son is also named the county king, how can they not feel jealous?
It's just that Zhou Lang's fiancée has become his side concubine, and his father's move can be said to be for his own ass, the seventh prince can't speak out against it, so he just glanced at King Wei from the corner of his eye.Seeing that King Wei was only playing with the ordinary jade pendant and ignored his hints, the Seventh Prince became even angrier.
When I ascend the throne of God, Fourth Brother should just be his idle prince!The Seventh Prince swore in his heart: Don't let any of these brothers think about it!
Princess Wu, Zhou Lang, and Zhou Yu received an order from the emperor early this morning, ordering them to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.Everyone already had a premonition in their hearts that Zhou Lang's marriage had retired, and the emperor must make up for it.However, even Zhou Lang himself did not expect such a great gift.There was no objection in the hall, Zhou Lang just accepted the order in such a dazed manner, and still hadn't reacted.
Returning to his seat, Zhou Su who arranged to sit with Zhou Lang was the first to congratulate him because he was the youngest.Seeing the genuine joy in Uncle Jiu's eyes, Zhou Lang sniffled, feeling unprecedentedly grateful for Cheng's act of breaking the marriage.
Even the son of the eldest prince who conspired with the rebellion was named the county king. The queen rekindled hope and glanced at the dispensable concubine Jiang who was happy. The king of the county, the second prince..." Your majesty can't afford to lose sight of the other, can he?
The emperor who was disturbed was very unhappy, he said: "That rebellious son, if he hadn't been ambitious and arranged for people to collude, how could the eldest prince be wrong for a while?"
The queen who was angered was not so shameless, she didn't cry out in public, but ordered her left and right to send a brocade with scarlet letters on it.She knelt down immediately, with tears in her eyes. Seeing pity, I said sadly: "Your Majesty, Xi'er has already realized his mistake. He has been reflecting on it for the past few months. This is Chen Qingshu written by him with his own blood." , Your Majesty, please take a look!"
The second child has the courage?The emperor scoffed at this.The imperial guards are still surrounding Prince Li's mansion, not to mention how they sent this blood book into the palace, even if this blood book was written by the second child himself, it will not change the fact that he is treasonous!
It's just that the second prince is the legitimate son after all, and he received more attention from the emperor when he was young than other sons.The emperor thought it was not a problem to keep people locked up all the time. Many servants died in Prince Li's mansion, which shows that this son has no repentance.
At that moment, the emperor said that the second prince didn't know how to repent and ignored human life, and ordered his whole family to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum.
The queen passed away at once.
The eldest son of the eldest prince was named the county king, but the second prince asked his whole family to guard the mausoleum.This contrast is too stark, anyone can see the weight of the two in the emperor's heart.
It's strange that the eldest prince could fight against the second prince born in the same court just because of his status as the eldest son!It's all the emperor's favorite!After news of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet spread, the ministers of the DPRK and China sighed so much.He sighed again, "It's a pity, the eldest prince has already gone, otherwise the throne has already been decided, how can it be up to the next few princes to fight for it?"
Zhou Lang had no idea what the others were thinking.Prince Wu's Mansion was taken back, and Zhou Lang took his younger siblings and mother to live in the Prince's Mansion, which was granted by the emperor.Far away from the throne, seeing the emperor's favor with the county king, Wu Wang's usual good popularity began to play a role. Those who had been favored by Wu Wang all gave gifts to the county palace in the name of family friends.
It's just that with Uncle Jiu's timely help, who would care about those icing on the cake?Zhou Lang, who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, is grateful to those people, but it is only superficial, and there is no one who has sincere friendship.
Jia Hu didn't know the eldest nephew's complicated mood, he was busy with another matter.
Jia Hu's younger sister, Jia Ying, will be married to Ji on the first day of the Lunar New Year.Girls in Dazhou get married late, but get engaged early.After the general age, it's time to finalize the marriage.No, Mrs. Liu ordered Jia Hu to inquire about some young talents, so as to choose a son-in-law from them.
Jia Hu took the list given to him by his mother, and said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, why are you all sons of the military commander's family? The military general's family has always been unruly, and the elders in the family still have the habit of stuffing people into the younger generation's room. Such an unclean person, How can I be worthy of my sister?"
Seeing her son's dissatisfied face, Liu thought it was something.She said angrily: "Your sister's temper, don't you know? She grew up in our family. She didn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She married into a civil servant's family who danced in literature and ink. Can she adapt?" Seeing that her son was still unconvinced, Liu hurriedly Said, "You are the only one who loves Ying'er? Nah, the sons above are all people who didn't have a house before marriage, and their mother-in-law is easy to get along with. I ask you to go and see if there are any other problems. If they are motivated, Come back to me again."
For other problems, Jia Hu coughed in embarrassment, isn't it just to see if people have the habit of breaking sleeves?But his sister can't be married to others, and thinking that there are quite a few people who are good at the south wind in Beijing, Jia Hu cheekily ignored his mother's teasing and concentrated on searching.
And I heard that Rong Guogong's eldest daughter will marry Ji next year, and the number of visits by matchmakers has also reached a new high.Mrs. Liu was very impatient, and didn't look at what kind of family she was.There are a lot of high-ranking concubines and concubines; the low-ranking ones never dislike our family being honorable.Heh, she hasn't disliked her poor family and wronged her precious daughter yet!The angry Liu said that unreliable matchmakers are not allowed to enter.
The New Year is just around the corner, and she has to take care of the housekeeper and her daughter's wedding ceremony, so she has no time to listen to the matchmaker's gossip.The small family may be afraid of offending the matchmaker, but the big family is not afraid at all.
How could the marriage of their son and daughter not be carefully selected by them?Who doesn't know that a matchmaker's words cannot be trusted?Just listen to the matchmaker's words and settle down. Either they really don't understand, or they don't care at all what the daughter-in-law who married back or the family they married in the past is like.
Soon, New Year's Day will arrive.
When Jia Ying and Ji were born, even though it was the middle of the year, most of the noble ladies in the capital had arrived.
Although the four kings and eight princes are top honors, the four kings are still favored, and the worst is the county king, but the eight princes have declined.Eight kilometers away, Jia She has the highest title. He is still the Duke of Rong, but he has no real power.Others are at best no more than princes.
Even for the name of Duke Rong, the wives of all families have to come together.Furthermore, Princess Bei Jing said she was coming, and she was angry with Mrs. Liu for not asking her to be the guest of honor.
At that time, all the wives were talking, and although Princess Bei Jing was joking, there was also a hint of displeasure.Mrs. Liu was not afraid of her, and said with a smile, "I'm sure this honorable guest, you can't make any sense out of it!"
The people who came today probably didn't want to know who the main guest was, and they were able to overcome the mentality of being unable to get past Princess Beijing.
