Chapter 1064: Leaving Xiangping
The content of this letter is the letter of guarantee written by Yin Huaixi when he sent her to Quanzhou to formally visit the Xie Mansion and have a secret conversation with her great-grandfather.
Don't give birth to two minds, don't accept two colors, don't have children from different wombs, and be a pair for life.
Emperor Xianzong, who took three thousand pieces of weak water and drank only one ladle, and his father, King Zhou Li, acted as guarantees, which increased the credibility of this document.
People in the world like to swear by heaven, and those who respect heaven and fear the earth will naturally abide by their heavenly vows and restrain themselves.
For those who do not respect heaven and earth, their oaths are nothing but empty words.
But few people swear by their ancestors and relatives, because no one can afford the consequences of betraying their ancestors.
Those who respect heaven and earth are only spiritual.
Those who respect their ancestors and fear their ancestors are self-centered.
The development of the Northern Territory is based on the Xie Mansion's huge connections, channels, and wealth. Without these, everything is empty talk.
She seems to have done a lot, but Xie Mansion has done more for her. All her confidence comes from Yin Huaixi and Xie Mansion.
Yin Huaixi gave her the courage to give it a try.
The Xie Mansion gave her capital.
In order to help Yin Huaixi, the Xie family spent their wealth accumulated over generations, but on this thin piece of paper, there was no promise that the Xie family would be rich and powerful.
Old lady Xie patted her on the back: "As early as in Jiazhou Mansion, we colluded with King Liang to scheme against our family. Our family has been unable to survive alone. Now our family can establish itself in Liaodong under the protection of King Wu Mu. It’s all neat and tidy, which is the best result.”
If the money is gone, you can make it again.
When people are gone, there is nothing.
"Everyone says that an old friend's heart can change easily, but it is easy to change an old friend's heart," Yu Youyao cried and fell into her grandmother's arms: "Grandma, I'm afraid, I don't want to go back to Beijing, I want to stay in Yu Yuan..."
She and Yin Huaixi have been separated for more than a year.
More than four hundred days and nights, as long as every sleepless night that worried about him and turned around, was long and torturous.
Princess Liyang's heartfelt words ultimately left an indelible crack in her heart.
Old lady Xie held back her tears: "Silly child, you and King Wu Mu were married by the Queen Mother, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and established the country and the country, so that the heavens and heavens can carry the law, and the virtues can carry the things. If the emperor and the queen work together to achieve virtue, then virtue will He Wujiang, it has only been more than a month since King Wu Mu came to the capital. Everything in the capital has not yet been settled, and the enthronement has not been settled yet, so he can't wait to send someone to take you to the capital. It can be seen that he is also thinking about you in his heart, and hopes that you will come to the capital as soon as possible. .”
Since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must prepare for the enthronement ceremony, offer sacrifices to heaven, and enshrine rites to declare that the king's power is divinely authorized and that the heaven and earth are orthodox. After that, he must rectify the dynasty, pardon the world, issue new policies, and so on.
It will take at least three to five months until the court is operational again before we can take care of anything else.
Yu Youyao just cried, and Mrs. Xie didn't try to persuade her. She just held her like this, stroking her back with her palms.
Nestled in my grandmother's arms, smelling her reassuring scent, I felt in a daze that the sky had not fallen, the ground had not sunk, and there was nothing to cry about.
No matter what, Xie Mansion will always be on her side.
Seeing that her mood had stabilized, Mrs. Xie said, "Your grandfather and I, as well as your uncle and aunt, plan to accompany you to Beijing."
The family is not worried about her going to Beijing alone.
Yu Youyao felt a little calmer.
Old Mrs. Xie sighed softly: "The merchant ship at home will be sailing to Beijing in a while. If, if King Wu Mu breaks his promise, you..." She paused and gritted her teeth: "When the time comes, we will take the merchant ship. Overseas, you will never be wronged."
Yu Youyao finally broke through her tears and smiled, hugging her grandmother and acting coquettishly.
There was a big fuss about Yin Huaixi taking her to Beijing. Not only did Eunuch Zhu bring the official ceremony of the princess, he also ordered the commander of the Qianjiao Army to personally lead a thousand elite Qianjiao soldiers to escort her.
As soon as the group arrived at Xiangping City, the news had already spread.
Yu Youyao also knew in her heart that she didn't know when she would be able to return to Yu Yuan after this trip, and she should pack everything she needed to pack.
This tidying up lasted three days.
Eunuch Zhu couldn't sit still at all, and hurriedly met with Princess Chang: "Your Highness is thinking about Princess Chang in his heart, and hopes that Princess Chang can come to Beijing as soon as possible. Princess Chang might as well put away the important things first, and the unimportant things later. , it is enough to send someone to Beijing, there is no need to rush, besides, if you bring too many things, the journey on the road will be delayed a lot."
Before leaving, His Highness repeatedly asked the princess to come to Beijing as soon as possible, but she was also worried about the cold weather, so she was tired and gave many instructions to take care of her carefully.
It was because of his careful behavior that he was sent to pick up Princess Chang. His Highness was haunted by dreams and worried about her. It was so obvious that he was worried about her. How could he continue to delay.
Yu Youyao's breath was stagnant and she nodded: "That's fine."
What's not in the capital?
Where do you need to bring so much stuff?
No matter how much we delay, we will arrive in Beijing sooner or later.
Yu Youyao stood under the purple elm tree, looking up at the gray sky. She left Beijing at the age of thirteen, and is now seventeen. She will turn eighteen after the new year.
Doing the math, I have stayed in Liaodong for four years.
The bitter cold in Liaodong is no better than in Beijing, but without the constraints of rules and regulations, I feel very comfortable. Now that I am about to leave Xiangping City, a deep feeling of reluctance suddenly emerges in my heart.
On the day Princess Shao Yichang left Xiangping, the people burst into mourning and tens of thousands of people sent each other off for hundreds of miles.
The driver started from Xiangping City and passed through Fengtian and Jinzhou. It was not until the driver left Huludao and crossed the border of Liaodong that the farewell team gradually disappeared.
Yu Youyao opened the car curtain and looked in the direction of Jingzhao. She felt sad and went around in circles. Five years after leaving Beijing, she returned to Jingzhao again.
I will meet Yin Huaixi soon.
The long-lost joyful mood made Yu Youyao sweep away the gloom in her heart, and she finally had a smile on her face.
No matter how confused she felt when she was in Xiangping City, how hesitant and worried about gains and losses, she was always thinking of him and looking forward to meeting him.
…
Yin Huaixi, who was in the palace, was very busy.
The Liang thieves went on a killing spree in the capital, and the second and third princes were imprisoned in the palace.
The fourth prince who performed a "mother's kindness and son's filial piety" with Queen Ning in the court originally wanted to take advantage of Queen Ning's power to ascend to the throne. Who would have thought that Queen Ning was just using him to mess with Chao Gang. After defeating Concubine Lan, he was killed by Queen Ning. Give up, the "sickness" is in the palace.
The Liang thieves killed the princes in public in the name of vying for the throne and disrupting the government.
The body of the Dog Emperor was also hung on the Meridian Gate for public display.
The palace was filled with blood, and most of the people in the palace were dead.
…
It took more than half a month to clean up the mess.
After the Jingzhao was settled, many ministers in the court returned to Jingzhao one after another, waiting for the "new emperor"'s edict. Yin Huaixi activated some highly respected and famous veterans to restore the court's order.
The Ministry of Rites is also preparing for the enthronement ceremony.
While he was busy wiping out the remnants of the rebel party and clearing out the demons and monsters in the capital, he also had to take care of the border defense matters in the east and south to prevent the Nanman and Dongyi from taking advantage of the change of the new dynasty to cause chaos.
If it weren't for the complicated affairs in the capital that made him really inseparable, Yin Huaixi would have gone to Xiangping City in person to pick up Yu Youyao.
King Liang and King Dongning were captured and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment pending trial. Their family members and others who participated in the rebellion were escorted to Beijing one after another. Only then did Yin Huaixi arrange for the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly interrogate their homes, exterminate their families, and confiscate them. Family wealth is inevitable.
Each of them is so strong that they dare to rebel, and they are so rich that if they put their property into the national treasury, they can offset the taxes of the people for three to five years.
The wealth of the world should be taken from the people and used for the people.
Eunuch Li came to report again, saying that ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Husbandry wanted to see him and report on the enthronement ceremony.
