Chapter 277: Danxiang beckons trouble
Water fire oil is a kind of extremely flammable fire oil, so the flame heat is high, not easy to extinguish, and it is easy to fuse with various wood materials to form burning wood, which is often used for war stone-throwing, which is extremely rare in the people. But a few years ago, this kind of fire oil was also banned by order of the Qin Dynasty, and most of it was sealed in the warehouse of the military department, and it could not be dispatched without an imperial order.
After all, the military department is an important mechanism of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the dynasty, and arson in front of the door is tantamount to provoking the emperor's face, and those managers of the military department will inevitably be punished a lot.
When a group of soldiers in the military department extinguished the flames, they found that they could not be redeemed, in just a few minutes of burning, Lu Xingyang died in it, even Pang Lu's coffin had been burned for most of it, and the corpses were even more charred, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was true or false, several high-ranking officials were sighing, of course, not for Lu Xingyang's righteousness, but because Lu Xingyang's approach pushed several of them to the center of the contradiction, and there will be some trouble in the future.
And from a certain perspective of the military headquarters, Wen Yuan stood on the tall building and looked at the scene, sighing in his heart, he didn't plan to come, but he still came. There are 100,000 bandit troops, but now there are only a few people left, Lu Xingyang set himself on fire in order to fulfill his righteousness, and after all, he is no longer the same as before.
"Lu Xingyang, Lu Xingyang, you have also pushed yourself into hell by doing this, without the protection of the four princes, you will be a lonely ghost who has been scolded after death. Alas, it should be, it's all worth it!"
Wen Yuan slowly left.
The next day, the Qin Emperor went to court, there was no longer the majesty of the past, the Seven Princes led the ministers to bow, and all the clerical and political affairs were carried out under the operation of the Seven Emperors Qiu Yuan, and he, the emperor, had become a puppet in reality.
When he heard that the body of Pang Lu, the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses, had arrived in the capital, there was no other reaction, and the Seven Princes had already announced the withdrawal of Pang Lu's various seals, and the armor and tokens, but all the items that could prove Pang Lu's identity had been destroyed in the fire in front of the military department, and the recovery was destined to be a pile of scrap metal.
When Emperor Qin returned to the harem, he began to be furious, overturned the tables and chairs, and said: "I'm really angry, that beast usurped his authority, he didn't want to usurp the throne, he wanted to kill the king!"
When the concubine Dan Mi in a tulle skirt came, she hugged Qin Huang and cried silently, Qin Huang was also soft-hearted for a while, hugged Dan Mi aside, and the door curtain was lightly covered.
Dan Mi's face was flushed, but he still couldn't help but worry about Emperor Qin's government, so he said: "Your Majesty, at this time, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is powerful, Your Majesty should not confront him, if there is any trouble, just suppress it first, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future." ”
Emperor Qin snorted coldly and said, "What will be the turning point? Those wolf-hearted rebels all want the throne of Lone, and the ministers are all shrunken turtles one by one, which one can forgive Lonely? I can't wait to enter Qiuyuan's palace at this moment and cut off his head!"
Dan Mi dissuaded: "Your Majesty, you always have to hold on to hope, the concubine has already passed the news to my father, although now the Seventh Prince also has a lot of control over the Dan family, but if you want to cleanse it, the Dan family will definitely be able to help a lot." Moreover, among the many princes, there is one person whose power is not under the Seven Princes, maybe he can save His Majesty from danger. ”
Emperor Qin said: "Concubine Ai means the fourth?"
Dan Mi said: "The four princes were degraded by His Majesty in the remote, and a few days ago he planned to attack the Nine Mansions Alliance, and his ability was praised by the people and officials of the whole country, Your Majesty might as well write a letter at this time, and the concubines secretly sent the children of the Dan family to send them out, and His Royal Highness the Four Princes may come to King Qin, and the crisis can be solved at that time." ”
Emperor Qin sighed and said: "Concubine Ai doesn't know, although the fourth child is smart and resourceful, but he is extremely cold to blood and family affection, the second child was actually done by him, when he was only a teenager, he had that kind of strategy, and he would not pity the second brother for him, such a cold-blooded person is terrifying, how could he raise troops for me?"
Dan Mi said: "The concubine thinks that now the Seven Princes are angry with each other, although His Royal Highness the Four Princes is ruthless, but he has not targeted His Majesty, it is estimated that he is thinking about the love of father and son, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, he originally murdered the Second Highness, and he should also want to seek the throne, if His Majesty can promise the throne, the Fourth Highness will definitely come to King Qin." ”
Qin Huanghu looked at Dan Mi suspiciously, although Dan Mi was right, but the king's heart was suspicious since ancient times, and he couldn't help but have a lot of guesses.
Seeing that Emperor Qin was silent, Dan Mi hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine has no other thoughts, and I have never been close to any prince with the Dan family, what the concubine said is just to save Your Majesty, after all, it is just a promise, and after the matter of the Seven Princes is resolved, Your Majesty can plan a date to pass on the throne, but as for whether it will be decided by Your Majesty in a few years, it is better than being in the control of the Seven Princes and panicking." If the Seven Princes can be regent in the court, they must have other ambitions, and if they really reach the last step, Your Majesty will regret it too late. ”
The last step is to force the palace and kill the king.
Emperor Qin's brows furrowed.
"Concubine Ai is too worried, you are right, Lone now only relies on the fourth, I will write a letter immediately, please Concubine Ai act safely, be sure to pass this letter to the fourth child. ”
Dan Mi leaned over and said yes.
The turmoil in the court is still fermenting, and Qiuzicheng, which is separated from the capital by two cities, is also under the control of the seventh prince Qiuyuan, but there is a high-ranking official of the Qin Dynasty here, and the family of the Qin Emperor's most favored concubine Dan Mi is here, and the head of the family, Dan Gong, is the prince of the dynasty.
In the Dan Mansion, a woman in a tight-fitting suit was watering some flowers and plants by the wall in the courtyard, which was originally the work of the maid's servant, but she did not want to trouble the others, but did her best to cultivate these flowers and plants.
She is the second lady of the Dan family, Dan Chen.
As for the eldest lady of the Dan family, she was naturally favored by Emperor Qin and became a favorite concubine, and Dan Mi was scolded as a "demon concubine" by the current government and the public and the people.
Yahuan walked over, snatched the kettle from Danchen's hand, and said, "Miss, these are all things I should do, don't you rush to do a good job, okay?" If you let the master see it, maybe you will say that we are not polite to be slaves, and your face is not good-looking, right?"
Danchen said softly: "Ping'er, you are poor again, my father is busy these days, where is the time to come to me? He didn't eat the autumn fir we bothered to pick back last time, so he put it into leftovers, he should be very difficult now, right?"
Yahuan Ping'er said: "Miss, your mind has been seen by the master, but there may be a lot of annoying things to deal with in the court, so the master ignored you, the master has always listened to you." ”
"Do you want me?" Dan Chen was slightly aggrieved and said, "Yes before, but since my sister entered the palace, he became a prince of the country, so he doesn't have so much time to accompany me." ”
When the words fell, a middle-aged man appeared on the other side, and said, "I know that I have failed my daughter's kindness, and I have come to ask for guilt this time." ”
"Father?"
"Sir!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Yahuan and said, "You go down first, I have something to tell Miss." ”
Ping'er bowed and slowly retreated.
Dan Chen's face was much rudder, and he took the middle-aged man's arm and said, "Why did my father have time to come to me today to see your daughter who is about to become moldy?"
Dan Gong smiled: "Your sister is in the palace, and I only have one daughter, I'll see if the moldy daughter has become ugly? Well, it's better than before." ”
Dan Chen said angrily: "No matter how good-looking it is, it's not as good-looking as Sister Mi, so my father shouldn't take it to heart, right?"
Dan Gong frowned and said, "How come? The youngest daughter is my palm treasure, you are only eighteen years old this year, and in two years, Concubine Zhen will definitely not be as outstanding as you." Also, I can't call my sister anymore, she is a concubine now, try not to tell others the truth. ”
Dan Chen said: "This daughter naturally knows, but Sister Zhen has been in the palace for so long, will you miss her?"
Dan Gong sighed lightly and said, "Naturally, I thought about it, when she was ordered to enter the palace, I searched all the relationships, but I didn't stop it." After all, the royal family is trying to cover the sky, what can I do? After so many years, I don't know if she is doing well?"
Danchen also looked a little frustrated, and said: "It shouldn't be very good, it is said that 'ruthlessness is the most emperor's family', Sister Zhenfei has no support, she must have a hard life, and some people have always said that she is 'the demon concubine who misled the country', I just want to tell those people that what a woman can do, after all, it is the fault of those officials." ”
This time, Dan Gong did not reprimand his daughter, his face was a little tired, and he said slowly: "The mouth of Youyou is like a stream of breaking the embankment." ”
This topic was too heavy, Dan Chen's eyelids blinked slightly, and said, "Father, you don't have time to taste the autumn fir tree, but it is extremely nourishing at that time, otherwise I will pick some for you tomorrow." "Hot e-book
Dan Gong said: "Youlao's daughter is bothered, but now the limelight is very tight, so don't go out." ”
Dan Chen felt a little sorry and lowered his head.
Dan Gong smiled again: "I heard that you went out and picked up someone last time, but is there such a thing?"
Dan Chen suddenly looked a little flustered, and said, "Father, how do you know?" I don't have any other thoughts, but I can't bear to see him die outside, so I let people bring him back, and when he is better, I will drive him out, and I will definitely not cause trouble to my father." ”
Dan Gong pondered: "It's a good thing to save people, if it's an ordinary person, you can also accumulate some blessings, but the person you saved is not an ordinary person, I know that you may have let people find out his details, but still leave him in the mansion, maybe you are too kind, but I still suggest that you send him out as soon as possible." ”
Danchen was slightly stunned and said, "Got it." ”
At this moment, a guard came in and leaned down in Dan Gong's ear and said a few words, Dan Gong's face changed greatly when he heard it, and he said to Dan Chen, "Let's talk about it the next day, I still have some things", and hurriedly walked away.
Danchen was bored walking in the courtyard, and the servants and maids got out of the way, not daring to provoke Dan Chen, who was in a bad mood, but she had already walked into a side courtyard unconsciously.
"Keep your head up, or you'll hit the rockery!"
This sentence suddenly sounded in her ears, Dan Chen raised her head suddenly, but found that she was already standing in front of the rockery, she smiled awkwardly, and looked at the neatly dressed young man sitting in the courtyard, "It turned out to be you, how is your injury?"
This young man was Jiang Ming, who chased three hundred miles of dust and then fainted in the mountains, his face was cold, and he said: "It should be you who saved me, I remember your voice, I heard it when I was unconscious." ”
Dan Chen was slightly surprised, and said, "You were still conscious at that time, I thought you were dead, and I realized that you still had a trace of breath, so I saved you." The injuries on your body were all taken care of by the doctor in my house, and the doctor said that as long as you rest for a month, you will be able to recover almost. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, you will already be able to get out of bed and walk. ”
Jiang Ming said indifferently: "Thank you for saving me, I will return it, return my halberd to me, and I will leave." ”
"You want to leave?" Dan Chen frowned and said, "But your injuries are not healed now, do you have something urgent?" or where are there relatives around here?"
Jiang Ming said: "I don't even know which city I am in, where are my relatives? Your Dan Mansion is the family of the concubine of the dynasty, and it is the Guogong Mansion, I guess you should also check my identity, you didn't kill me for this, I am grateful, but I don't want to get too close to you." ”
Dan Chen hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't hate Wohua Mountain, although you look cold, at least you are not as cold-blooded as those people in the court." I still suggest that you raise it for a few more days, if you go out and run into an enemy in such a state, you will definitely be in trouble. ”
Jiang Ming said: "You don't have to worry about this, and the current Dan Mansion is definitely in danger, if it is because of me, I don't want to charge you with collaborating with the enemy." As I said, I don't want to have anything to do with you. ”
Jiang Ming's words were undoubtedly extremely explicit, and there was no emotion at all, Danchen was stunned for a long time, but he still nodded in agreement.
Qiuzi City, since then there has been one more drunkard, wandering in the restaurant all day long, spending lavishly, drinking excessively, and is a real drunkard.
If you want to describe his appearance, it can be said that it is extremely ordinary, and he has always been alone, not talking to others all day long, and no one else pays attention to him at all.
In a blink of an eye, it came November, the days became colder and colder, the people changed into cotton shirts, but the war of the Qin Dynasty did not stop, the rout and surrender of the soldiers defending the city, the Daming Grottoes have approached the Gyeonggi area, and the Wohua Mountain came from behind, Sikong showed his rich command experience, in just a few days the army rushed, it was to take many cities, faintly there is a meaning of going hand in hand with the Daming Grottoes.
As one of the top mountain bandit organizations in the Qin Dynasty, Wohua Mountain and Daming Grottoes undoubtedly have great attention, they seem to occupy a huge area of the country, and have threatened the rule of the Qin Dynasty, but the rulers of the capital do not have any intention of sending troops to stop it.
On the other hand, Qiu Jue had already led his troops in the west to begin to march slowly, the army crossed the border, all officials changed, policies changed, and countless opposing voices were bloodily suppressed, which was jointly carried out by the two generalissimos Deng Xing and Meng Jianyan, realizing the purges of the real dynasty, and this change would affect everyone in the Qin Dynasty.
And the news of Qiu Jue seems to have been quietly cut off, and all the secret agents who tried to investigate were cleaned up as soon as possible, not to mention Wohua Mountain and Daming Grottoes, even the source of the seventh act, I don't know what Qiu Jue is doing, the bloody wind of the Qin Dynasty is about to brew to the peak.
Old white wine house.
The man in the hemp robe is still just a thin shirt, he doesn't take a cup, he drinks with a wine jar, in these few days, the boss and Xiao Er have become accustomed to it. If it weren't for the fact that the drunken guest would have come the next day, they would have thought they were drunk somewhere, just like the other drunks.
Suddenly there was a young man next to him who seemed to be drunk, and he did not wear a cotton shirt, and in the cold wind, he did not feel cold, but he seemed to have no money to pay the bills.
"What kind of wine do you drink if you don't have money, or I'll borrow it from someone else, or I'll report to the police to arrest you!"
Xiao Er's angry shout sounded, Jiang Ming couldn't help frowning, he took out a few taels of silver from his arms and threw it over, and shouted: "What is the noise, it disturbed my interest in drinking, and I helped him pay his bill." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly picked up the silver taels on the ground and said yes again and again.
The young man in a black shirt staggered to Jiang Ming's table and shook the wine table.
The young man said, "Why are you helping me pay the bill?"
Jiang Ming said coldly: "Look at you, is this reason enough?"
The young man laughed, as if he didn't feel the impatience in Jiang Ming's tone, and said, "If I say that I only have Yuan Jin on me, I'm afraid that they won't be able to find it, do you believe it or not?"
Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, then thought that the other party was a rich son, and said indifferently: "What's the matter with me, I'm just afraid that Xiao Er will continue to quarrel, and besides, I didn't allow you to sit here with me." ”
The young man smiled: "Coming uninvited is also a kind of fate, your indiscriminate temper shouldn't be in line with etiquette, right?"
Jiang Ming shouted: "It doesn't matter what etiquette he is or not, I'm used to being alone, and I don't like to sit at a table with strangers, if you don't leave, I'll let Xiao Er pick you up." ”
The young man got up and said, "You really don't know my identity?"
Jiang Ming frowned, he was already sure that this young man must be a rich man, but he was not interested in these, he only said: "Since you refuse to leave, then sit down and drink, I think the amount of wine is good, if you have the courage, you will drink with me one jar after another, if you can defeat me, as long as you come to drink in the future, I will pay you, what?"
The young man was slightly stunned, he thought that Jiang Ming would let people drive him away, but who expected him to make such a request, he was stunned for a long time before he said, "Okay, but you have to pay for all the wine." ”
"Little Er, bring the wine!"
In the restaurant, there was a rare "wine fight" incident, two young men in thin shirts, consuming liquor one jar after another, until the two were drunk, and they didn't know who lost.
That wine is not good wine.
But no one, I don't know who, only that he can drink.
