Chapter 814 King Ming and Princess Ming

With a feeling of apprehension, Mrs. Tong went to the palace. It was still a little cold in February, and Tong Shi shivered after getting off the carriage, and couldn't help but gather up his clothes.

Meilan was waiting in the second courtyard, and when she saw Tong Shifu, she saluted and said with a smile: "The concubine specially asked the slaves to wait for the madam here."

Although Meilan is a maid, Tong Shi is also polite to her.

When seeing Yuxi, Tong Shi was still a little trembling. She was afraid that her husband had committed some crimes, and the concubine asked her to come here this time to inquire about the crime.

How could Yuxi fail to see Tong's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Those who don't know think I'm a man-eating tiger?" In Yuxi's impression, Tong is a very straightforward woman .

Tong Shi weighed it in her heart, and asked out, so as not to hold back her heart and feel uncomfortable: "Princess, I don't know what happened to my family?"

Yuxi smiled lightly, no wonder Tong was so trembling, she thought Cui Mo had committed a crime: "General Cui is fine, he didn't make any mistakes. Besides, even if General Cui really committed a crime, it would be up to the Supervision Department and the Prison Department disposal."

At this time, Tong Fang came over with tea and snacks. Tong Fang put down the tea and said with a smile: "Sister, the princess is just a little bored and wants to talk to someone!"

Tong Shi heaved a sigh of relief, it's not that his family committed a crime: "Princess forgive me, recently because of Yu Cong's incident, people are panicking, let..." At this point, Tong Shi was surprised that he had made a mistake. talk.

Yu Xi didn't take it seriously, and said: "Say what you want, there is no need to be restrained."

Tong asked tentatively: "Princess, I don't know what General Yu committed?" There are many rumors outside, mainly saying that Yu Cong did not commit any crime at all and that Yu Xi was retaliating, but her son was Yu Cong's collusion with the enemy yesterday mutiny. Which one is true, she couldn't measure for a while.

Yu Xi suppressed her smile and said: "Collaborating with the enemy, intending to mutiny, and harboring important criminals." After a pause, Yu Xi said: "The evidence is solid, and he cannot be denied."

After hearing this, Tong was so frightened that her hands were trembling. After a long time, she said: "Princess, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Yu Cong is loyal to the prince. It is impossible for Yu Cong to collude with the enemy and rebel, let alone make a mutiny." She couldn't say anything insincere. .

Yu Xi felt that Tong and Cui Mo were really husband and wife, and they defended Yu Cong with exactly the same words: "General Cui also said the same thing, saying that someone must have planted and framed Yu Cong. Yu Cong yelled that I planted and framed Yu Cong." He even said he wanted the prince to avenge him."

Tong Shi really thinks that Yu Cong is a pig's brain. It's okay to say that someone framed him, but if the princess framed him, wouldn't it be courting death! Fortunately, her husband interceded for him, and his painstaking efforts were in vain: "Princess, Yu Cong can't drink, and when he drinks, he can speak freely." The problem is that Yu Cong likes to drink very much.

Yu Xi thought it was quite interesting, even Mrs. Tong knew about Yu Cong's weakness, but he himself didn't notice it at all. Yu Xi smiled and said: "The Liu family took Yu Cong's handbook, passed through the barrier in Yongcheng, and transported 200,000 shi of grain. The 200,000 shi of grain arrived in the capital one by one."

Tong opened his mouth, and asked after a while, "What about the intentional mutiny?" The so-called intentional mutiny means that it failed.

Yu Xi said lightly: "Yu Cong wanted to join forces with Fang Xing to create a mutiny in the south of the Yangtze River, but Fang Xing refused." As for the process, there is no need to talk about it.

Tong quickly realized: "Is this what Fang Xing said?"

Yu Xi hummed and said: "I still have the testimony written by Fang Xing himself. It is also for this reason that Yu Cong was placed under house arrest." Who knows why he will go crazy if he is not under house arrest.

Tong's face changed again and again: "Princess, is the key criminal Yu Cong is harboring a member of the Liu family?"

Yuxi nodded and said: "It's Liu Yi's brother.

"Yu Cong wanted to mutiny, and the Second Master Liu contributed a lot. It's a pity that Liu Erye was good at instigating the flames. He made Yu Cong want to mutiny, but his other talents were lacking.

Hearing this, Mrs. Tong couldn't help but said: "It's really retribution! If he lives a good life with Mrs. Xiang in a down-to-earth manner, there will be no disaster today." Mrs. Tong just interceded for Yu Cong because of Cui Mo. In fact, because of Yu Cong's behavior of abandoning his wife, Tong Shi, Chang Shi and others hated him extremely. They all followed their husbands from the bitter days, Yu Cong's behavior was like arousing their sensitive nerves.

Yuxi said lightly: "He didn't think it was retribution, he just thought I was retaliating against him." She admitted that she did have the intention of getting rid of Yu Cong, but flies don't bite seamless eggs, if Yu Cong stands upright, she thinks There will be no chance to start.

Tong Shi said: "Princess, don't worry about him, he was fascinated by the fox spirit." Cong begged for mercy. I beg the princess to bypass him for the sake of his ignorance!" Don't implicate your husband because of this nonsensical thing.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Those who don't know are innocent, I won't blame General Cui." If she really wanted to blame, she wouldn't have summoned Mrs. Tong. Of course, there is a purpose for Yu Xi to specially invite Tong Shi to come here. She hopes to use Tong Shi's mouth to make Cui Mo stop interfering in this matter. Cui Mo is a man of sentimental nature, she is really not sure if Cui Mo will do something overreaching in order to save Yu Cong. I don't want to embarrass Yunqing, so I want to kill this matter in the bud.

After hearing this, Mrs. Tong made up her mind not to allow her husband to get involved in this matter, but don't involve their family in it.

Seeing that the two had finished their business, Tong Fang interrupted with a smile: "Sister, didn't you say that the five-spice beans I gave you were delicious last time? It just so happens that you can ask the princess, and I asked Fangzi to go back to the house and let the cook cook it." Let's eat." Tong Fang knew that Yuxi stayed with her to adjust the atmosphere, otherwise she would not have dared to interrupt.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I didn't expect that we have the same taste, and I also like to eat this spiced bean." Seeing that Yuxi and the children both like to eat this delicate pastry, Yun Qing specially sent someone to find someone who is good at making pastries in Jiangnan The master came into the mansion.

Tong's mind was gone, and he revealed his true nature, and said with a smile: "The spiced beans really taste better and better. Once I eat it, I can't stop talking. I have wanted to ask the princess for this prescription for a long time, but I didn't find it. to the opportunity."

Yuxi laughed: "It's just a recipe for snacks, if you want to let Aunt Tong say it directly. But you have to be prepared, you may not be able to make this taste with the recipe."

Tong's naturally understood the meaning of Yuxi's words, which was the same as cooking. The same ingredients, the taste of the dishes made by different people is different: "If it is not delicious, then I will come to nagging the princess."

Yuxi likes to make friends with this kind of straightforward people, but unfortunately she is too busy and has little contact with Tong Shi and others on weekdays.

After chatting for a while, Tong's words were no longer restrained, she looked at Yuxi and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, what I envy the most is the princess's maintenance method, she looks like a girl in her 28th year. "Yu Xi's complexion is rosy, her skin is crystal clear, and she looks naturally younger.

Yuxi immediately chatted with Tong Shi about how women take care of themselves, and they talked until noon. Yuxi asked Mrs. Tong to have a meal in the mansion, but Mrs. Tong refused.

Tong said with a smile: "My monkey, if I'm not at home, I won't eat well, I have to go back and watch him."

When Tong returned home, she immediately wrote a letter to Cui Mo, telling Yu Cong what happened today, and at the end of the letter, Cui Mo asked Cui Mo to think more about her and her children, and don't fold himself in for the sake of brotherhood, and leave him behind. They are orphans and widows with no one to rely on.

After the letter was delivered, Mrs. Tong ate something casually and went to Feng Dajun's mansion, and chatted with Mrs. Chang all afternoon.

Yuxi is very well informed, so she naturally knows Tong's movements. Yuxi expressed her satisfaction with this.

On the sixth day of March, the palace issued an official letter announcing that from this day on Yunqing would officially change her title to King Ming, and Yuxi would naturally become Princess Ming.

Except for the change of title, everything else has not changed, so this matter is like a drop of water falling into a lake, without causing any waves.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Now it's as you wish." Yuxi originally planned to hold a canonization ceremony, so that it can be regarded as the real announcement to the world. As a result, Yunqing was unwilling to live or die, and said that a war was about to happen, so this matter could be handled in a low-key manner.

Yun Qing said: "This is very good." The canonization ceremony was just a formality, and it was completely unnecessary.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's up to you this time, but it won't work next time." In the future, proclaiming the emperor can't be done in such a quiet way, it must be done in a lively manner.

That afternoon, Yunqing received a secret letter from Feng Dajun. After reading the letter, Yunqing hesitated for a long time, and finally told Yuxi about it.

After hearing Yun Qing's words, Yu Xi was shocked, and said: "Feng Dajun wants to find a substitute for Yu Cong, so that he can die?"

Yun Qing also didn't expect Feng Dajun to have this idea: "I thought he wanted to stay out of the matter, but I didn't expect to have this idea."

Xu Wu has already told Feng Dajun all about what Yu Cong committed. Feng Dajun knew very well that Yu Xi was unwilling to let Yu Cong go, and Yu Cong's mistakes were known to many people, and he would not be able to convince the public if he was not dealt with. That's why Feng Dajun thought that this was not the way to go.

Yu Xi smiled, General Feng really dared to think about it! But probably because he knew that Yun Qing couldn't bear it, he made this suggestion! Yu Xi asked Yun Qing: "What do you think?"

Before Yun Qing could express his opinion, he heard Xu Daniu say outside: "My lord, my concubine, the old man is here."

Yuxi knew why Yunqing came here.

Huo Changqing entered the study, and said straight to the point: "Dajun said he wanted Yu Cong to escape, I think this is a good idea, what do you think?"

Yuxi didn't speak.

Without even thinking about it, Yu Xi refused: "No, Yu Cong must pay for the mistakes he made." Once this opening is opened, there will be endless troubles.

Huo Changqing looked at Yun Qing with a sullen face and said, "Yun Qing, Yu Cong has been with you for more than 20 years, can you really not spare his life?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Uncle Huo, even now Yu Cong doesn't know how to repent, and is still clamoring that Yu Xi framed him? Uncle Huo, Yu Cong is hopeless."

Huo Changqing was silent for a while and asked, "Is there really no room left?"

Yun Qing didn't hesitate at all: "No."

Huo Changqing knew Yunqing's temperament, and being able to say such a thing showed that there was really no room for maneuver.

After waiting for Huo Changqing to leave, Yuxi looked at Yunqing and said, "I thought you would agree!" Letting Yu Cong escape to death not only played the role of scaring chickens and monkeys, but also saved years of friendship. I have to say that this method is not bad .

Yun Qing asked Yu Xi back: "If I agree, Yu Xi, will you agree?"

Yuxi was silent for a while and said: "He Rui, I don't want you to bear this guilt for the rest of your life. If you insist, I will back down."

Yun Qing said: "If he knows his mistakes and is willing to mend his ways, I will agree to Da Jun's proposal. But he still doesn't think that he is at fault. Since he didn't know his mistakes, leaving him is a disaster."

Seeing this, Yu Xi softened her heart: "I made it difficult for you." In fact, if it wasn't for her design, Yu Cong would not have come to this point.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "It's up to me to say that. If you hadn't taken my feelings into account, you would have solved Yu Cong long ago." In fact, Yu Cong's matter should be dealt with according to the law. But because Yuxi was concerned about his mood, she has been dragging on until now.

Yu Xi said: "The more you gain, the more you lose. He Rui, this is just the beginning." The matter of Yu Cong is just the beginning.

Yun Qing felt that Yuxi's words were a bit alarmist: "For me, you and the child are the most important." He was very sure that as long as he didn't do anything wrong to Yuxi, he would never lose Yuxi and the child.

After a pause, Yun Qing said again: "As for Dajun Cui Mo and the others, as long as they don't overstep, I believe you won't touch them."

Yuxi smiled lightly and said: "They are meritorious ministers, and it's too late for me to treat them well, so why would I even think about dealing with them." However, if they want to harm her like Yu Cong in the future, she will not show mercy. .

Yun Qing smiled and said, "That's all right."

Huo Changqing returned to the courtyard and said to Xu Wu who was waiting, "Go find a good coffin and choose a good place for him." This is to prepare for Yu Cong's funeral.

Xu Wu's face changed drastically: "Is the princess not even agreeing to let Yu Cong escape to death?"

Huo Changqing shook his head and said: "Yunqing did not agree. Yunqing said that Yu Cong has not repented until now and is hopeless. If you want to blame, blame Yu Cong for courting death!" How to get Yunqing and Han to let him go.

Xu Wu's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "My lord, he..."

Huo Changqing immediately interrupted Xu Wu's words: "Yunqing didn't do anything wrong, it was Yu Cong who made the mistake." Yunqing valued friendship the most, and being able to make him say such words shows that he is chilling towards Yu Cong.

Xu Wu was too uncomfortable to speak.

Huo Changqing said with a gloomy face: "The pregnant concubine, have you settled down yet?"

Xu Wudao: "It's settled, and the mother-in-law will take care of it. After the child is born, I will bring it back to Pickaxe City."

Huo Changqing said: "I hope to be a son, this will satisfy all his thoughts!" (To be continued)
