Chapter 328 Pretense
The news was sent back to Beijing as quickly as possible, so it is needless to mention how the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.
White sails have been set up in Prince Yu's Mansion, and Shen Mingjiao helped to arrange the funeral, but the mourning hall was empty, no one dared to come to worship.
Fortunately, the eldest son of King Yu's Mansion has been found, and suddenly lost his parents. The originally lively and cheerful young man seemed to have grown up overnight, and he just knelt silently in front of the mourning hall.
Feng Lisheng came over and put three sticks of incense on the spiritual seat of the head of the head. When turning around, he patted Feng Qihao on the shoulder. The young man raised his head numbly, met the concerned and encouraging eyes of the emperor's uncle, and suddenly his nose became sore, but he still tried his best to straighten his back.
Feng Lisheng nodded in satisfaction, and Shen Mingjiao signaled him to go outside.
Out of the mourning hall, Shen Mingjiao asked: "Is everything settled?"
Feng Lisheng nodded: "The court's judgment will arrive in ten days."
"What about the funeral of the emperor's wife?"
According to the custom, the coffin must be buried within seven days. Although it is early spring. Corpses should not be kept for too long.
"Use more ice. This matter involves treason and has a lot to do with it. You must wait for the verdict before you can be buried."
And both of them knew well that King Yu would definitely not be able to enter the imperial mausoleum after committing such a major event, and it was a special favor of His Majesty to leave the whole body behind.
Is King Yu a corpse-exploding wilderness or something? She felt that she deserved it, she just felt sorry for Princess Yu.
The two of them returned to their temporary residence in Prince Yu's Mansion, and they saw Feng Lisheng sitting in front of the table and concentrating on flipping through the stack of books and letters that Princess Yu had given him.
Shen Mingjiao sat on the beauty's couch opposite, hesitantly asked: "What does the emperor's sister-in-law mean when she said that before she left?"
At first, I had no time to think because I was sad, but after a few days, some doubts and thoughts came to my mind uncontrollably.
Feng Lisheng did not answer his question, but said: "According to the scattered records in these ledgers, besides the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Wanfo Valley, King Yu has other forces."
Shen Mingjiao was surprised but not surprised: "In other words, besides Wanfo Mountain, King Yu has also stationed troops in other places, and the number of troops may be much stronger than those 20,000 people, so how can he..."
She just wanted to say that if this is the case, why does the other party hide in fear? Wouldn't it be easier to directly summon the people to capture them alive.
What do you think? But he stopped talking again.
Feng Lisheng put down the book, sighed and said: "Emperors are always suspicious, and the emperor is no exception, so I never understood why the emperor didn't believe that King Yu would be wrong even though I had already made things so obvious. The heart of the minister!
It wasn't until I came to Jingzhou and got in touch with King Yu that I realized why Brother Huang thought so. Whether a person has real talent or learning cannot be hidden.
Before this, I always thought that King Yu should be quite powerful, not to mention his strategy. After all, throughout the ages, there have been rebellions by vassal kings, but there are only a handful of those who may succeed, and most of them are due to the corruption of the court itself.
But in the previous life, when the Great Xia Kingdom was prosperous, King Yu was able to lead troops into the imperial city by himself, which shows how strong the power behind him is. "
After all, not to mention that the capital is heavily guarded, every state capital has garrisons.
"But through the understanding of these days, King Yu is not a person with many plans for the city. Just like Princess Yu said, his heart is higher than the sky, he is born with a lack of ability. And then again, in his father's later years, several emperors How fierce is the brother's struggle, if he is really talented, why has he been doing nothing all these years!"
Because of the large age difference between Feng Lisheng and Yu Wang, and Yu Wang has always been a little transparent, Jing and Emperor were enfeoffed to Jingzhou after ascending the throne, so although they are half-brothers, they almost never get along.
"So the princess thinks that such a person can really plan so many things secretly?"
Shen Mingjiao took a breath: "So you mean that there is someone behind King Yu, or that King Yu is just a cover."
At the same moment, the capital.
As soon as the news of King Yu's private deployment of troops spread, all the officials in the court were stunned, and some people even took a long time to remember who King Yu was. It can be seen that Yu Wang is usually not noticed by people.
Afterwards, discuss the sentence of King Yu. Because King Yu has no power from the mother clan, and has no connections in the court—even if it is in secret, he dare not speak out at this time.
In the case of not involving the interests of any party, the attitude of the officials can be described as impartial and impartial, and the judgment result is also very fast.
The booklet says that Yu Wang committed suicide in fear of crime—this is also a disguised surrender. In the end, Jing and Di Nianqi had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and no casualties were caused. In the end, it was announced that King Yu would be removed from the royal jade plate, all property would be taken back, and his children would be demoted to ordinary people.
Although this matter sounds quite big, because King Yu was too marginalized, all the officials sighed a few words, and then it was replaced by another matter.
The Royal Spring Hunting has arrived. This is a long-standing custom, which can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, there were too many wild animals of all kinds in the jungle, and the purpose of spring hunting was to hunt and balance the number of wild animals, so as to prevent wild animals from going down the mountain in spring to harm people and destroy crops.
However, with the evolution of the times, people entered the age of civilization. Today's hunting is only to exercise and motivate the sons and daughters to prevent the sons of officials from valuing literature over martial arts.
On the high platform, Jing and Emperor looked at the heroic young men on horseback, and suddenly felt proud, took out the lottery and waved their hands to announce the start of the hunt.
In order to boost morale, Jing and Di took the lead in riding horses into the forest and shooting a deer. However, although he has learned bow horse riding and archery, he is not proficient. After only a cutscene, he drove the horse back to the high platform.
Many tents were set up on the high platform, with the queen sitting in the center and the prince next to him.
Today, the crown prince was wearing a blue wide-sleeved robe. He was making tea at this time.
Jing and Di looked away, and whenever this happened, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully. The prince is not as good at martial arts as he is, and even the prince is not as good as him.
He couldn't help but think of another young man who was amazingly talented, his late eldest son Feng Qiyou. He remembered that when the young man went hunting at the age of thirteen, he single-handedly shot a brown bear.
He heaved a long sigh, it would be great if Qi You was still alive.
At this time, he saw Feng Shuo walking towards him. The little boy's back was straight, and his delicate and handsome face was habitually rigid.
Jing and Di were in a trance again, as if seeing another boy when he was a child. Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile on the corner of his mouth. Chong Fengshuo beckoned: "Come here."
Feng Shuo approached calmly, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Jing and Di raised their hands and gently touched the little guy's head. "Why didn't you go to play with children of the same age?"
Feng Shuo replied with a serious look: "I can't play with them."
Jing and Di were a little helpless: "Children, who can't learn well from anyone, but your father!" This "father" refers to Feng Lisheng.
At this moment, Feng Shuo's personal servant brought a pony over. Seeing that the little guy got on his horse neatly, Jing and Di couldn't help asking curiously: "Where are you going?"
Feng Shuo skillfully grasped the rein of the horse: "Go around the forest ahead."
Jing and Di knew that he was very talented in riding and shooting, but they still told him: "Bring more guards."
Feng Shuo said "Yes", "Qin Shisao just followed."
He was talking about Qin Yan. Qin Yan is now giving lectures at the Chongwen Museum. In fact, it was for the convenience of protecting Feng Shuo's safety.
Jing and Di Wenyan had nothing to worry about. He went back to the queen by himself.
Feng Shuo rode his horse to find Qin Yan to meet him, and on the way passed by a woman in a red riding suit.
