Chapter 255: Becoming a Vassal
Gaojia Hotel
It was an old shop not far from the prison, with more than a dozen rooms, which had already been booked by this time, and with the senator's official documents, all the arrested women were carried out of the prison in bullock carts, and they were covered in blood, and several of them had blood on the roots of their thighs, and their whole bodies were almost naked.

The man and the boss were frightened and pale, the boss was quite calm, guarding the door, seeing someone carrying him, he hurriedly greeted him, only glanced at it and let it to the store, saying: "This is a great sin, this body is injured and cannot use cold water or scalding water, I have ordered all to use warm water." ”
"And a few of my mothers-in-law and my buddies have come to serve. ”
"Jinchuang Medicine is also ready. ”
Pei Ziyun nodded: "You are intimate and careful, wash these people first, don't use your medicine, we will bring it ourselves." ”
"Also, the prefect has collapsed, you keep your mouth shut, this alone is a reward. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver in his bosom and threw it away.
The boss took a look at it, it was five taels of silver, and immediately bowed: "Please rest assured, Son, we won't say a word, whoever chews the tongue, I will break someone's leg!"
The girl has not spoken, wearing a veil, and can see that her face is pale and people dare not force her to look, and then she enters with some young girls, all of whom have bright eyes and bright teeth and gloomy expressions, and soon after entering, there is a faint cry.
Buckets of warm water were carried in and out, and they came out full of filth and fish, and it took a long time for the girl to come out.
"How's that?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"It's all washed, and the lochia in the body has been removed, and now the person is fine, and there are a few broken bones, which may leave a little inconvenience. ”
"Also, they all have traces of violation, many times. As she spoke, the girl's face turned pale.
"It is inevitable that women will go to prison, and since the prefect has fallen, it is not difficult for these prison officials and jailers to liquidate them, and they will be pursued one by one. ”
"Even the prefect, you have to ruin your family and your family to make an example. Pei Ziyun said flatly, but his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he was obviously not calm.
The official law is like a furnace, without power or fame, and in this society, it is really murderous and silent.
King Lu's Mansion
The eunuch took a few guards and went straight into King Lu's mansion, where an offering table had already been prepared, and King Lu knelt on the ground and listened to the decree.
"He said: I will receive the mandate of heaven, it is advisable to build a vassal branch, to screen the royal family, and the king of Lujun will lead the Qinzhou festival envoy, and he will be in his domain, and he will do this!"
King Lu listened to it, only to feel the blood surging in his chest, and he didn't know whether it was joy or pain, and after reading it, he burst into tears, fell to the ground softly, and choked: "Erchen...... Thank you...... Shane!"
The eunuch stepped forward and handed over the holy decree, and King Lu took it with trembling hands, only to hear the chief eunuch sigh: "Your Majesty's dictation, King Lu Jun does not have to resign anymore, and set off immediately." ”
King Lu listened to the emperor's dictation, collapsed on the ground, couldn't get up for a while, but shouted out loud: "Father"
King Lu's crying was emotional, which made people feel heartbroken, and the eunuch sighed: "Lord, this is Your Majesty's will, you can't disobey it, you can clean it up quickly, say that you will set off immediately, and you have to set off today, even if it is five miles out of the city, otherwise it will be disrespectful." ”
"Yes, the retainers are commanded. King Lu choked up and took his life.
Sending the eunuch out, King Lu summoned Gonggong Liao: "Prepare to leave Beijing immediately!"
Saying that, this matter had been prepared for a long time, except for the items given by the emperor, other furniture was basically not brought, but there were 300 black-clothed guards, 500 family members and slaves, and they went out.
There were a lot of people watching in front of King Lu's mansion, talking about the domain, some servants or secret sons were mixed in, seeing King Lu packing his luggage and going out, they were all talking, and some people sighed: "King Lu is a domain, the prince is victorious, and the dust has settled!"
King Lu traveled all the way, unhindered, until the gate of the city.
King Lu looked back, the tall city walls, the bustling streets, and the crowd of onlookers, and there were very few people who came to see him off at this time.
"Out of the capital, yesterday's prosperity is gone!" Although King Lu had been prepared for a long time, he also knew that the vassal was for strategy, but when he looked back, he felt a pain in his heart, and his tears could not be stopped, so he knelt down on the imperial city and cried: "The son is gone, take care of my father." ”
The bustling motorcade fell silent in an instant.
Several children also got out of the car under the guidance of the concubine and saluted towards the imperial city: "Imperial grandfather, grandson, granddaughter, resign." ”
The child didn't feel nervous and sad, and when he left to leave, he suddenly felt inexplicably sad and cried.
Tower
The prince watched, and a eunuch stepped forward and whispered: "Prince, the news from Pei Zhenren is that he wants to keep King Lu in Beijing, why does the prince not only not stay, but let King Lu leave like this?"
Listening to the words of the father-in-law in front of him, the prince was silent for a moment and said: "We are brothers after all, why bother leaving him in Beijing to fight each other, it is the will of the father, and I have no choice, and since ancient times, the prince has been a vassal This is the system, presumably King Lu went to Qinzhou, and he will be able to defend one side." ”
Having said that, King Lu finally left, and the prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling that a big stone had been removed.
Imperial Palace and Study
A eunuch entered, glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor didn't look here, just criticized the fold, and knelt silently in the corner.
The emperor was looking at an excerpt, it was the matter of Yue Bai, the prefect of Anji Mansion, he couldn't help but groan, he had a little impression of this Yue Bai, closely following the great affairs of the imperial court, reclaiming wasteland, supporting mulberry spinning, and was rated as excellent last time, why did this happen?
As he was groaning, the emperor suddenly felt tired, stopped and stood up, paced two steps, distraught, and went back to lean lightly on the chair, took a wet towel and covered his forehead to relieve his tiredness.
After a while, the emperor handed the wet towel to the little eunuch, turned his face to the bottom and said, "Where is King Lujun, cough cough." ”
The eunuch who knelt just now said: "Your Majesty, the king of Lujun has gone to the city gate, kneeling and crying goodbye, and the emperor's grandson and the little county lord are crying goodbye. ”
Hearing this news, the emperor raised his pen, his hands trembled, and he was stained: "How can this be true!"
I don't know whether to scold the minister or scold the fold, the eunuch trembled and quickly knelt on the ground, the study was quiet, and the depressed people were out of breath.
After a long silence, the emperor coughed, and the eunuch looked up slightly, and the emperor had a little tear in the corner of his eye.
The eunuch understood, His Majesty was actually reluctant to let King Lu go out of Beijing, but he was helpless.
Thinking about when His Majesty Wei Zhenhai was in the sea, when there was injustice, and when the injustice was killed, there was a sense of sadness at this time.
The emperor reacted at this time, pretending to be impatient, and criticized the fold: "This fang is so mad, there is no need to re-interrogate, immediately correct the law, the guerrilla general Gao Shunyi was martyred, and posthumously presented to General Zhaoyi." ”
It seemed to be a reprimand, and after the approval, he turned his face to the eunuch again: "You go and send the excerpt to the cabinet immediately, and draw up the will of the posthumous gift!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the eunuch stepped forward to take the fold and withdrew.
"You also stand down!" Seeing that everyone was retreating, the emperor leaned back in his chair, threw the pen on the ground, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed.
Near the capital, it was very overcast, the thick clouds pressed against the sky, the frame on the official road had been opened, the ox carriage was tightly wrapped in practical oilcloth, the black-clothed guards on foot clanged with swords and armor, and the pedestrians on the side of the road saw it from a distance and avoided it, boldly stretching their necks to look.
King Lu was sitting in the car, and Father-in-law Liao was feeding some porridge with slices of ginseng meat, and King Lu was still a little thin and couldn't eat greasy meat.
"Your Highness, I've really hurt you. Liao Gonggong said.
King Lu still had some unspeakable feelings, took a bite, waved his hand to signal that he didn't want to, looked at the window, and said, "What is this sin?"
The ox cart continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the capital, and gradually disappeared, King Lu suddenly felt that his body was empty, as if he had lost something important, and he had gotten rid of any pressure, a feeling of panic, in his heart, King Lu raised his head, and his face changed: "In terms of the post station, are you ready?"
Xie Chengdong, who was sitting on the side, said in a deep voice: "It's all ready, just wait for the prince to arrive, and you can implement it-prince, you are still in a loss of health, plus the long journey, you can't work too hard, can you sleep for a while?"
King Lu listened, leaned his back on the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, Xie Chengdong and Gonggong Liao glanced at each other, got off the car lightly, and changed to the back one.
Father-in-law Liao came over to speak, and at this time, a black-clothed guard hurriedly stepped forward, and Father-in-law Liao reached out to take the note, only to take a look, and his heart was shocked.
"Yue Bai, the prefect of Anji Prefecture, was reported by the Senate for assassinating a guerrilla general? The evidence is conclusive, and the emperor is in a bad mood and is ordered to be killed?"
"This Pei Ziyun's counterattack is really fast and ruthless, this method is similar to the method of dealing with King Lu, it is extremely powerful, and one blow will be hit. Xie Chengdong said coldly: "A prefect was planted in a few rounds, it seems that the mastermind of the prince is not wrong." ”
"What now?" asked Grandpa Liao.
Xie Chengdong snorted coldly: "The most important thing now is that King Lu is a vassal domain, but the prince is now the king of the county, and he only allocates 5,000 soldiers from one mansion, which is far from enough." ”
"The most important thing now is to restore the prince and take charge of the three mansions, so that we can no longer shake it!" Xie Chengdong said: "This Yue Bai, since the emperor has given instructions, then no one can save it." ”
"Even if we don't approve it, we can't make any extraneous problems at this time. ”
"As for Pei Ziyun, we can't conflict with him, just closely monitor his whereabouts!"
"Okay, if Mr. Xie has it, our family will rest assured, and we will discuss the specific matters when His Highness wakes up. Liao Gong said, looked back at the carriage where King Yilu was, got up and went out again: "I'll go sleep for a while, it's been too hard these days." ”
"Father-in-law just go. Seeing that Father-in-law Liao had gone, and there was no one around, Xie Chengdong showed a trace of exhaustion, this Yue Bai, the prefect of Anji Mansion, was actually a pawn crossing the river, although the trouble was not done, but the goal was achieved - it was confirmed that Pei Ziyun was indeed the mastermind of the prince, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
"Pei Ziyun, you not only have the ability in words, but also in Taoism, and even this way of strategy is also in your chest?"
