Chapter 324: Fragrant and mellow
In the second month, something happened in the court again.
The previous assassination of the emperor had not yet come to a conclusion. Although Qi Yixiu had some ideas in his mind, he had no way to confirm them, so the matter remained hanging.
At this time, some rumors suddenly spread in the market, probably saying that the emperor's throne was not obtained legitimately.
The late emperor liked Prince Hua and wanted to make him the crown prince, but he was killed by the current emperor.
The rumor spread very quickly, and soon the rumor spread throughout the palace.
After hearing this, Yao Baolin became frightened and fell ill.
At first, Shen Chuliu didn't take it seriously and just asked someone to ask the imperial physician to see her.
As a result, when she felt that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly worse, Yao Baolin became even more seriously ill.
Only then did she become alert. It was already the middle of February.
Shen Chuliu entered Yao Baolin's room, and the smell of medicine was everywhere.
In just half a month, Yao Baolin exhausted himself to the point of being emaciated.
"Why is your majesty here? This place smells like medicine."
"I don't know what's wrong with you." Shen Chuliu said calmly, "I believe that I have been friendly with you for the past few years, so I came to advise you. What happened outside has nothing to do with you. Even if you have offended the emperor because of this, your family background is average, and you are just a treasure of the emperor. It is also a result to go on peacefully. But this matter is sensitive. If you continue like this, the emperor may even bring up the past and the future generations, and it is not impossible for you to die of illness."
Yao Baolin shed tears: "I'm just afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? The more you don't want to die, the more you have to stay calm." Shen Chuliu looked at her: "I said it, and you have to listen to me. There is a long time to go."
Yao Baolin thanked her with tears.
After leaving this place, Zi Rui whispered: "Master, could it be that the emperor is really..."
"The emperor was personally appointed as the crown prince by the late emperor. He was worshipped in the imperial temple and recognized by his ancestors. The people of the world all recognize him. The etiquette before and after his enthronement was exactly the same." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, I miss King Hua..."
"Prince Hua is rebellious and rode his horse in the street. That is what God has punished." Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "Go and spread my words. Everyone in Cuiyunxuan, whether serving me or Yao Baolin, will say the same thing. If anyone dares to say anything gossipy about me, just send him to the Internal Criminal Department and treat him like a spy from outside."
"Yes." Zi Rui said cautiously.
"Zi Rui, remember, many things are better known in your heart. No matter what the truth of this matter is, it is meaningless to us." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui nodded: "I will remember it."
Soon, the news spread in Cuiyunxuan.
In Taiji Palace, when Qi Yixiu was free, Chusi told him about this.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "She said that? Did she say it herself?"
"That's right, Empress Jing Zhaoyi is a wise person." Chusi said with a smile.
"This is well said by Tian Shou. This woman is really smart." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Forget it, give her something. I don't want to go to the harem these days."
Chusi responded with a yes.
The Queen also immediately banned rumors in the harem. It turned out that there were many understanding people in the Emperor's harem.
The harem is easy to deal with, but the previous dynasty is not that simple.
It is the common people who spread the rumors, and they cannot be stopped by force. The more this happens, the more suspicious people will become.
Qi Yixiu was somewhat inspired by Shen Chuliu's words, and immediately sent someone to compile a story about the early events between Concubine Yang and King Hua, as well as how the ministers close to King Hua bullied the people.
It was not the first time that Prince Hua rode his horse in the street, beating and scolding the people. The people in the capital still remember it.
At that time, some people were worried that if the emperor really made Prince Hua the crown prince, what would happen? Others talked about the benefits of the current emperor's reign over the years, such as good weather and good harvests, and the people's happiness. How could it not be a benefit? Just when the rumors were beginning to be suppressed, news came that Prince Lu had rebelled in Lujun City.
The total population of Lujun City, including the garrison and some of the Deer King's troops, is 60,000.
In Cuiyunxuan, Yuanxiao told the news breathlessly, and Shen Chuliu immediately laughed: "Is this the old man hanging himself?" Is he tired of living?
The Dayi Dynasty had a large number of soldiers and sufficient food and fodder. Although it had not fought a war for nearly a hundred years, it was still strong.
It is not to say that such a small matter can only be suppressed at most, and even if troops are sent to attack the Chao Kingdom, it may take ten or eight years.
If the Deer King raised an army of 600,000, it would be okay, but 60,000, isn't this a joke?
"Master..." Yuanxiao was puzzled.
"What are you afraid of? Just wait and see how the emperor deals with him." Shen Chuliu waved her hand: "Everything in Cuiyunxuan remains the same. No more chaos."
Yuanxiao sighed and thought that his master was indeed a great man and was not afraid of fighting.
Shen Chuliu was not only not afraid, but also wanted to laugh. How could the Deer King rebel with such a cowardly look? Was it because of the people around him? In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu was also thinking this while he was angry. It was the ambition of the people around him that caused the Deer King to rebel.
"Have you found out?"
"To reply to the emperor, it is indeed Cheng'an Temple." Chusi said.
"Since it's Cheng'an Temple, let's make arrangements. There are so many princes and princesses in the palace, it's time to go to Cheng'an Temple to burn incense." Qi Yixiu said calmly: "Just ask mother to take everyone there."
"Hey." Chusi responded and went out.
There were many people in the court who wanted to fight, and Qi Yixiu was most satisfied with Shen Changjing and Shen Zhong.
They came back to report on their work and haven't left yet.
Qi Yixiu made a prompt decision and asked Shen Changjing to return to the northern border, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Shen Zhong led an army of 100,000 near Qianyang City and marched south to Lujun City together with several other generals in the court.
By the time Shen Zhong went south, it was already March. Because of his busy schedule this year, Shen Chuliu didn't celebrate her birthday.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Qi Yixiu remembered that although he did not make up for it, he still rewarded him with many good things.
Shen Chuliu looked at the things displayed in the yard and laughed: "The emperor didn't come by himself, but there are quite a lot of things."
Laba smiled apologetically and said, "I will definitely tell you what you said when I get back, Madam."
Shen Chuliu snorted: "What are you telling me? I'll go find the emperor myself later."
Laba agreed with a smile.
The things are nothing new, just fabrics, jewelry, ornaments and some daily necessities.
Thanks to the emperor, Cuiyunxuan now has plenty of everything. All the green tea is from the past, and we don’t drink it anymore.
Pu'er and other teas are stored for several years and are fragrant and mellow.
There was a lot of fabric, so I often asked the clothing bureau to make new clothes. I also had a lot of jewelry, but I didn't need to make new ones because I could just wear new ones anyway.
Sure enough, in the middle of the morning, Shen Chuliu got dressed and went to Taiji Palace.
Since the emperor was in the mood to give out rewards, he naturally wouldn't be too busy.
The emperor hasn't come to the harem for a long time, so it's no big deal for her to come and take a look.
Sure enough, Qi Yixiu was happy to see her.
"Your Majesty is so mean. I was too busy to celebrate your birthday and today I am only here to deliver gifts." Shen Chuliu scolded.
install.
