658: The eldest son of the emperor returns to the throne
When Xiao Yunting was in the capital, if he sent someone to Cheng Qing casually and asked Cheng Qing to meet him, he would probably only get a reply with the word "get out".
In the northwest, Prince Xiao wanted to see Magistrate Cheng, but Magistrate Cheng was unhappy to go out, but he still set off for Lanzhou.
Before leaving, he left a group of students studying in the county and said that he would check back to Qin'an.
Cheng Qing did not plan to take He Wan there. For He Wan's safety, she specially called County Chief Zhu and other Qin'an officials together:
"I have come to the northwest and have always wanted to meet old friends, but I have been busy with official duties and cannot do it. Now Prince Xiao has sent someone to invite him. I cannot refuse, so I have to entrust the county's official duties to you. Please worry more!"
County Magistrate Zhu looked at her as if he was foolish.
Cheng Qing looked at the person sent by Xiao Yunting, and the man clasped his fists and said:
"The prince is thinking about Lord Cheng, and asks Lord Cheng to leave quickly with the villain."
Except for special circumstances, local officials in the Great Wei Dynasty generally cannot leave Rendi. If Cheng Qing ignored the situation and went to Lanzhou, he might have been reported by Zhu County Chief and others as soon as he left.
The situation is special now, Xiao Yunting controls the Northwest Army, so Xiao Yunting has the final say in the entire northwest. If Zhu County Chief and others have any doubts, they can ask Prince Xiao for inquiries... With the courage of Zhu County Chief, he would not dare to ask Xiao Yunting.
Originally, Rongjiu wanted to follow Cheng Qing to Lanzhou, saying that the teacher had something to do and his disciples served him.
Cheng Qing directly asked him to stay in Qin'an:
"I don't need your service. If you have the intention, you can stay in Qin'an County to serve your master's wife."
He Wan also wants to build a weaving workshop. Cheng Qing is not in Qin'an County, so He Wan can't go out unscrupulously. It would be nice to have Rongjiu spread messages and run errands in the middle.
Rong Jiu was also willing to go out and from then on he called He Wan the master's wife.
Cheng Qing only took Xiaopan and Wu Er to Lanzhou, but he didn't even bring Sun An.
Xiao Pan was very worried on the way and felt that Xiao Yunting asked Cheng Qing to go to Lanzhou because he was uneasy.
Cheng Qing shook his head: "Now Xiao Yunting has the final say in the entire northwest. He wants to deal with me, so there is no need to be such a trouble."
Does Cheng Qing still care about whether he is dealing with it or not?
Her remaining lifespan was originally picked up, and she would count as one more day.
If she unfortunately died in Lanzhou City, that would be great. She would have to earn the title of a loyal minister before she died, and the dog emperor would have to pinch her nose and recognize her.
No matter how you think about it, Cheng Qing takes advantage of it.
If a person is not even afraid of death, the world is so big, where can’t he go?
Cheng Qingxiao went to Lanzhou City with ease.
When Cheng Qing stepped into Lanzhou City, he rushed to the northwest. The news he had just been sent to Xiao Yunting from the capital to the northwest.
Xiao Yunting felt that the news that the eight hundred miles were delivered to him was too funny, but such absurd thing had really happened.
He just got the news faster than others, but this news is no longer a secret in the capital. At most, it will be passed on to the entire Wei Dynasty with the mansion report as a carrier!
The cunning mansion was as deep as Xiao Yunting, and they were choked by the news for a long time without saying a word.
He didn't know who to share such choking news with.
The King of Ye must not want to listen to him.
Xiao Yunting remembered Cheng Qing.
Yes, it’s time to ask Cheng Qing to listen to it and see if Cheng Qing can still regard Meng Huaijin as his beloved "Senior Brother Meng".
And Cheng Qing, is he willing to continue to be Meng Huaijin's good junior brother?
Xiao Yunting was full of evil interests and asked Chanyi to invite Cheng Qing.
The two of them parted in the capital and had not seen each other for three or four months. Xiao Yunting still looked sick, and Cheng Qing was not very energetic. The wind and sand in the northwest wrinkled Cheng Qing's handsome face. He went from Qin'an to Lanzhou. He was invited to Xiao Yunting before he had time to wash up in the inn, so he was naturally indifferent.
Such a reunion is quite like the first time Cheng Qing met Xiao Yunting on the boat in the sixth year of Chengping.
At that time, Xiao Yunting was already the prince of King Ye, and Cheng Qing had not yet obtained the exam and was the "son of a criminal minister."
Now Xiao Yunting is the uncrowned king in the northwest, and Cheng Qing, the unlucky guy, was exiled to the northwest and became a small magistrate, and there is still a huge gap between the two sides.
If there is any difference, probably the more you understand Xiao Yunting, the less you are afraid of Xiao Yunting.
"Three days ago, a notice was posted outside the palace."
Xiao Yunting broke the silence, "The emperor, without going through the cabinet, ignored the six ministries, directly told the people of the Great Wei Dynasty a secret of the royal family."
Cheng Qing didn't want to deal with Xiao Yunting, but Xiao Yunting always knew how to arouse her interest, so Cheng Qing couldn't help but listen.
Qin'an County can tolerate anything else, but it almost doesn't matter if you eat or live. It's just that it's too far from the capital. It's not easy to get news from the capital. Friends and relatives will only report good news but not bad news. Cheng Qing has no way to understand the situation in the capital.
Xiao Yunting didn't say anything nonsense and handed Cheng Qing the notice he copied back to Lanzhou.
Cheng Qing was shocked for a long time without saying a word.
The content of the notice is not complicated. The general idea is that when the year the son ascended the throne, the empress gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. This son was born with Xiangyun and was born extraordinary. The emperor asked the monk to approve his fate for the eldest son. The monk said that the eldest son's fate was extremely noble. However, the palace had just experienced the palace transformation, and the remaining killing aura conflicted with the eldest son's fate. If he forced the emperor's eldest son to stay in the palace, the eldest son would easily die.
Extreme fortune and premature death do not conflict with premature death. The more precious the fortune, the easier it is to be taken back by God. Therefore, the children among the people will be given a bad name to support them when they are born... This is a later story. Anyway, the monk said at that time that if the emperor's eldest son wants to grow up safely, he must send the emperor's eldest son out of the palace and hand it over to others for raising him.
Before the age of twenty, you should not meet your parents in close contact.
Before the age of twenty-five, we cannot recognize each other.
Only by surviving the 25-year-old Kan can the eldest son return to his position and completely integrate his extremely noble destiny!
Although the emperor and the empress were reluctant to separate from their son, in order to save their son's life, they still sent the eldest son to the people for raising according to the guidance of the monk.
As for how the eldest son of the emperor would return to his throne, the monk asked the emperor and the empress to wait naturally, saying that the eldest son would return to the capital by himself in twenty years, and he could only recognize the emperor and the empress when he was twenty-five years old.
The notice said that the eldest son of the emperor was fostered by the people and followed his adoptive father's surname Meng. Now he has returned to his position and changed his surname to Xiao. His name remains unchanged to commemorate his life in the people for more than 20 years. Cheng Qing held a notice copied by Xiao Yunting, and his hands were shaking. The virtuous concubine was talking nonsense, and the emperor actually believed it.
Not only did he believe it, he also announced the identity of Senior Brother Meng with great fanfare!
Is Senior Brother Meng the eldest son of the emperor?
Cheng Qing doesn't believe it.
Senior Brother Meng may not know his life experience, and the queen should not be unable to recognize her own son.
If Senior Brother Meng was the eldest son of the emperor, how could he cooperate with Xiao Yunting at the beginning, and wouldn't he watch Aunt Rong be forced to death by those people.
More importantly, the letter that Senior Brother Meng wrote to her a few days ago did not mention this at all!
