Chapter 132: Drunken Queen Mother 33
Queen Wang pointed at the futon on the ground and glared at the seventh prince and scolded: "Your father is newly mourned, as a son of man, you must wear sackcloth and plain clothes. As a widow, Aijia, Same thing, what do you mean by presenting this futon for Aijia?"
people.
This is the funeral ceremony of His Majesty the emperor. Although there are many people, it is not noisy.
Queen Wang's reprimand to the seventh prince could be heard clearly in the entire hall, and everyone's eyes could not help but follow Queen Wang's fingers to look at the futon on the ground, and at a glance they couldn't help gasping. With a breath of cold air, he sighed secretly that the seventh prince had acted daringly.
The palace people are all dressed in sackcloth and sackcloth. The entire Huagai Palace is white, and the dark red futon on the ground is extremely conspicuous.
Futons are made of ordinary futons.
What about the futon presented by the Seventh Prince? It is lined with brocade and covered with satin. Needless to say, it must also be stuffed with citronella and wormwood. This futon is suitable for daily Buddha worship, but it is extremely inappropriate for the funeral of the late emperor.
The seventh prince was stunned by Wang Qingqing's scolding.
In order to show his filial piety to the king and queen, he asked the little **** to specifically explain "take it" when he took the futon. When the little **** presented the futon, he was satisfied with the thickness of the futon. He was in a hurry to sell it in front of Queen Wang, but he didn't think about whether the futon was too gorgeous. However, he was negligent and put himself on the fire.
No matter how you punish him, it's no exaggeration. Now, it's up to Queen Wang.
The seven princes crawled on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The mother taught me that the son is guilty, it is the son's officials who acted poorly, the son is willing to be punished, please calm the mother's anger and take care of the phoenix body."
Queen Wang did not say a word to the seventh prince's confession, she raised her voice and called: "come!" Immediately, the **** standing by the side stepped forward and bowed: "No!"
She pointed at the seventh prince and said bitterly: "The seventh prince is arrogant and outrageous, and he will be removed from his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner!"
The Seventh Prince was dumbfounded when he heard this, why? He really didn't understand, it was just a futon, why would it provoke such a thunderous wrath of the Queen?
No, the seventh prince was full of gallbladder, he took a few steps on his knees and rushed over to hug the queen's legs and cried for forgiveness: "Mother! The child is wrong, please forgive the son, the son is an unintentional loss, the son is just worried The coldness and dampness on the ground are heavier than the mother's phoenix body, so please be kind to the mother, please spare the child!"
Empress Wang was unmoved. Seeing this, the two eunuchs immediately stepped forward and cut the arm of the seventh prince and lifted him aside. Bian Lianzhu fell down, she choked and said: "This son disrespects your father, he is not worthy to participate in His Majesty's grand ceremony, and immediately fork him out of the palace to Aijia!"
Two eunuchs and the forbidden army rushed forward and dragged the seventh prince who was crying and begging for mercy. There was a cry of sorrow on the coffin: "Your Majesty!" Immediately, he slipped softly to the ground and passed out.
The seven princes who were dragged out threw themselves on the palace gate and began to cry loudly. The first consonant was loud, but the queen didn't hear a single sound.
After all, he is a prince, even if he is demoted to a commoner, he must have a place to stay. In the small courtyard, twelve taels of silver remained.
"This will be your home from now on." The **** took the brass key and handed it to the seventh prince: "This house belongs to the clan's mansion, and can live for a hundred years after you, of course, if you dislike it The house is small and can be moved out at any time.”
"Where can I move?" The Seventh Prince asked him in a hoarse voice.
"It depends on you." The **** lowered his head: "Where you buy your house, you can move it there."
Got it! The seventh prince understood the meaning of the eunuch. If he had the ability to buy the mansion, he could move out separately. If he was unable to buy the mansion, he could only live in the small mansion provided by the clan mansion for the rest of his life.
The seventh prince snorted and entered the house, the **** closed the courtyard door for him and left.
He folded his clothes and lay down on a small couch, while crying bitterly, he scolded the queen and the queen. After scolding, he scolded the third prince who had damaged his appearance. Duan Concubine, the adoptive mother who didn't know anything, fell asleep after being tired of scolding.
He woke up in the middle of the night, but he didn't even have a torch on his body, let alone an oil lamp or candle. He didn't dare to get off the couch, he just curled himself up tighter and survived the night.
The seventh prince, who was burning with hunger in his stomach, cursed the king and queen secretly again, and went out with silver taels.
Fortunately, if you have money, you can buy food, drink and clothes. The seventh prince first had breakfast in the teahouse, then went to the cloth house to get himself two plain clothes, ordered a set of bedding, thinking At night, when it was difficult to burn in the dark, he bought fire books and candle oil lamps.
And oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, how to make a fire to cook rice? The seventh prince, who did not light up his cooking skills, went to the restaurant for lunch again.
After a few days like this, and when the daily necessities were almost complete, the seventh prince discovered that the twelve silver lines left by the **** had been spent and all that was left was A few copper plates.
The Seventh Prince was shocked when he looked at the few coins. He had no money to use, wouldn't he starve to death?
How can this be done? The seventh prince rushed to the palace. As soon as he stood on the imperial road in front of the palace gate, the guard on duty showed him a steel knife and shouted and killed him, so scared that he could not even get close to the palace gate. , hurriedly escaped.
Pinching a few copper plates and thinking for a long time, he touched the front of the yamen of the Zongren Mansion.
Prince Lin'an is in charge of the affairs of the clan. In terms of blood, this King Lin'an is the uncle of the late emperor and the uncle and grandfather of the seventh prince.
The king of Lin'an, a close relative of the royal family, shook his head at the disgraced seventh prince: "The clan's house is in charge of the royal clan roster. I will help one or two, even though you are the father and son of the late emperor, but the empress sent someone to scratch your name off the jade plate, and now you are just a commoner, and the clan officials are really powerless."
The seventh prince was greatly disappointed when he heard the words, but he still did not give up. He cried and begged at King Lin'an. King Linan saw that he was very pitiful, and asked his attendants to take 12 taels of silver and give it to the seventh prince: "This is the old man. Personal wealth has nothing to do with the sect's mansion, you take it and go, you don't have to come again in the future."
The prince, but he has no financial ability, but after half a month, the ten taels of silver presented by the King of Lin'an was also spent by him.
The penniless seventh prince once again entered the door of the sect's mansion, but this time he never even saw the face of King Lin'an.
After three days in front of the yamen of Zongren Mansion, who didn't see King Lin'an, the seventh prince is the one who gave up. Yes, how can I support myself?
After thinking about it, he decided to go to his mother's house for help.
The Seventh Prince, who consciously humbled himself, managed to convince himself to come to the door of Zhao Butcher's house. come out.
Don't try to take advantage of us, it's better for us to walk the road towards the sky."
The seventh prince begged, but Zhao Da was unmoved by it. The cheap prince's nephew was in his teens, but he had never met this nephew before. What kind of feelings could he have?
This nephew has been demoted to a commoner, and he must have a hopeless future. Besides, he is also a person who is hated by the benevolent and kind Queen Empress. With such a person, how can I befriend him? Is it necessary?
Zhao Da brushed the sharp knife and said to the seventh prince: "You can never come again in the future. It's not easy for me to get up early and get up early to get some money, and it's not enough for my family. Where did you get the extra money to help you?"
In and out, the loss is not a single star.
Third, the crown prince finally ascended the throne under the long-awaited expectations of all the ministers.
Duanjing Emperor's Concubine".
The first emperor and noble concubine were buried with the imperial mausoleum, and the empress dowager moved to the West Palace.
After the ceremony, the emperor gave the phoenix seal handed over to the queen mother before the queen mother moved to the west palace and gave it to the queen mother with both hands: "The son and the minister are young and ignorant, and I have to rely on the mother's protection to have today, and I also ask the mother to continue to be in charge. Fengyin, share the worries for my son, and my son is grateful."
The queen mother refused again and again, and the emperor pleaded again and again, I will let you come, and the queen mother sighed and took the phoenix seal, only saying that she was in charge "temporarily", and the emperor said to the queen mother a thank you. It's not over.
