Chapter 103: Rebellion
"Childish innocent. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Yan's eyebrows twisted together, and he looked at Wan Guifei with a faint gaze, "When you entered the palace back then, this is what you said personally." ”
Wan Guifei was put into the court as a slave when she was young, and later was ordered by the Queen Mother to serve Zhu Jianshen, who was still the abolished prince.
It is common to worship high and low in the harem, especially the courtiers of the previous dynasty, how good can the prince who was abandoned in the harem be, Wan Zhen'er, who was just a palace maid in the past, took care of Zhu Jianshen in every way.
He asked her why she was protecting her life.
She said that the child is innocent, Zhu Jianshen is still young, and he shouldn't have tasted the warmth and coldness of people and been bullied at this age.
She was also kind.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Wan Guifei stared at Wang Yan with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see some clues from his unfazed face.
Long.
After all, it was Wan Guifei who weakened her momentum, and sat back on the bed in a bit of despair, leaning on the bed railing carved by agarwood, "Today is the emperor's death day." ”
She also had children, and she also thought about letting the past entanglements disappear and raise the royal child well, but it's a pity that she ......
Even God can't see her let go of her hatred.
A cold wind took her emperor's life, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, maybe this is God's punishment for her, punishing her for being content with the status quo, blinded by the emperor's favor, and forgetting the hatred of the past.
That's why she saw the prince die in her arms, and life was better than death.
"You...... There will be more ...... Prince's. Wang Yan raised his head, and there were waves in his eyes.
"There will be no more, there will never be another ......"
Wan Guifei had already shook her head, got up and slowly went to the inner hall, where the Buddha statue and her son's immortal ranking were enshrined, today was his death day, and it was time for Wan Guifei to go and recite the Sutra of Death for him.
"You stand down, this palace wants to be quiet for a while. Tears quietly flowed from her eyes, but Wan Guifei still raised her head proudly, and her voice was cold, "This palace doesn't want to see Concubine Zhen in the harem again." ”
Zhu Jianshen has been on the throne for several years, and under the order of the Queen Mother, although he favors Wan Guifei alone, there are not many concubines in the harem. But there are no concubines who can keep the blood in the womb.
It was too much of a coincidence to say that it was a natural disaster.
Wang Yan pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and turned to leave, Li Sheng had been waiting outside for a long time, "Overseer." ”
"Has the concubine ever blamed you?" Li Sheng's voice was worried, Wang Yanshen had always trusted the concubine, and it would not be good if the relationship between the two would be affected by other people's affairs.
Although the baby is innocent, it is still the emperor's blood, but after all, the overseer is not a good person, and he is also burdened with a fate that needs to be completed.
"Concubine Zhen Niangniang invited herself to live in Anle Hall, and only brought the palace maid Ji by her side. Li Sheng hesitated and said, "Niangniang said, when the month comes, she knows what to do, and she won't embarrass you." ”
"Concubine Xiang regards Ji as a thorn in her side, and this time she goes to Anle Hall, I'm afraid she won't interfere anymore. ”
Anle Hall is in the courtyard, adjacent to the cold palace, in fact, there is no difference from the cold palace, the concubine Niangniang's daughter's body, she asked to move to the palace, and only took the Ji family alone, I am afraid that she is pregnant in October, and she has to do it herself.
Retreat.
Concubine Wan will not embarrass her anymore, and she can take good care of her...... Take care of Ji.
Wang Yan frowned, and there was a bit of regret in his voice, "I have wronged Concubine Zhenniang." ”
"Evacuate the people of the West Factory, unless there is no need to interfere in the matter of life and death, even daily necessities are included. ”
Wang Yan lowered his eyes.
With so much blood on his hands, maybe this child is really the salvation in the harem, there is no difference between Concubine Niangniang and inviting himself into the cold palace, and he can't pay too much attention to it, otherwise it will be a snake to add to it, and it will be too much.
"Now I'm waiting for Cao Jixiang to be caught. Wang Yan's eyes instantly became a little chilly, "Don't forget to inform Lu Lijiu, there are ...... Huo Yanqing. ”
Li Sheng arched his hand, "Yes." ”
The corners of Wang Yan's lips raised a touch of arc, it was the first time he felt that such a smooth movement behind his back was so smooth, and Lu Lijiu and Huo Yanqing knew that there were people behind them but they couldn't refuse.
A long time must be divided.
Thinking about the days when the Ming Dynasty was four-legged for a long time, it should be a change, otherwise what is the point.
As for him, he continued to go back to the house to drink tea, and if he missed it in early spring, he would have to wait another year.
……
"Your Excellency. Li Chang's face was not very good, "Look." ”
Li Chang was the person who was single-handedly promoted by Lu Lijiu when he served as the left squire of the Ministry of War, and now Xu Youzhen has given way, and at the same time as Lu Lijiu's promotion, Li Chang has also been promoted.
From an obscure principal to a right attendant, Li Chang has already become Lu Lijiu's right-hand man, Lu Lijiu is cultivating his cronies, and those who have held official positions in the past are always inextricably linked in the court.
It's still from a poor family, and it's easy to control, just like he is alone.
Lu Lijiu motioned to Li Chang to present the secret letter, "Why are you so reluctant?"
"Why are you unwilling at all?" Li Chang didn't understand, "I always feel that someone is pointing fingers behind our backs, but adults can still accept it calmly." ”
Wang Yan's move is really high, the West Factory has been established for many years, and he has already gone deep into the court, he may not be as good as Xu Youzhen, but he is better informed than Lu Lijiu, every time Lu Lijiu is in need, he can always be like timely rain.
This is indeed the case, but it always makes people feel aggrieved and panicked, especially Li Chang in front of Lu Lijiu, he has seen Lord Lu's methods, and he seems to be a scholar who does things uniquely and quickly, which impresses the military department.
Obviously, Lu Lijiu can do it himself.
Wang Yan also knows this.
Lu Lijiu didn't think so, just frowned slightly.
Can't you accept it calmly?
He spent eight years in the Hanlin Academy doing boring editing with poetry and books, why can't he be indifferent?
Li Chang has the ability, but he lacks experience after all.
Lu Lijiu patiently explained, "Since we need it, then whether it is our own investigation or someone else's door, we can't go wrong, there are ready-made ones, why compete on these little things?"
Lu Lijiu's eyes suddenly showed a little smile, and he shook his head and sighed, "Do you think this ready-made one can be picked up by everyone?"
It's true that not everyone can pick up ready-made.
This is convenient, Wang Yan is not something that anyone will give.
There are no absolute enemies in the court, and the opponents are not enemies in the first place, at least for now, they are just competitors, opponents who compete with normal means......
Since they all want to move to Cao Jixiang, why should they waste other twists and turns?
Li Chang was a little hindsightly, "Thank you for your teachings." ”
"But...... What shall we do?"
"The security in the palace is the responsibility of the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army, and the Donghua Gate is the top priority. ”
Li Chang nodded, "I heard that Lord Huo is indifferent to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he doesn't like to deal with others, and he is not good at talking, if he is ......"
"If the adults want to borrow the power of the Jinyi Guard, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult......"
Jin Yiwei.
Lu Lijiu's eyes dimmed a little, he also wanted to deal with Huo Yanqing, and he heard that Huo Yanqing also used some means when he became the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
There are talented people in the Jiang Shang generation.
Wang Yan used means to get the Fu Guogong Mansion to hand over a few years ago, and he also married Zhao Wanrong by chance, in the final analysis, they are all about the same age, but Huo Yanqing has not married for many years?
Zhao Wanrong doesn't like Huo Yanqing, how can Lu Lijiu not know?
Why don't you marry, the reason, I'm afraid Huo Yanqing himself can't say clearly, people are not grass and trees, and people's hearts are not stubborn stones.
He doesn't love Zhao Wanrong, but looking at Zhao Wanrong's feelings for him, he will do his best to compensate her in other aspects.
So what about Huo Yanqing, can he really face that sincere and persistent feeling and be indifferent for half a point?
Lu Lijiu buried his head in the position of Yingtian City.
……
It may be an illusion that the sky is getting dark, and the calm and peaceful people are ready to sleep, but the gates of the Forbidden City seem to be secretly turbulent.
The night had just fallen, and the dark night hid the figures of the Dao, the black shadows first dispersed, and finally slowly gathered in one place, pulled up the bow and arrows, and quickly shot the guards on the city wall on the spot.
Outside the gate of Donghua Gate, many people suddenly gathered from all sides, and it was Cao Jixiang who was the leader.
"Father-in-law!" Cao Qin looked at the guards on the city wall who were solved by the Dongchang factory guards in an instant, "I'm afraid there is fraud!"
"It's a weird quiet atmosphere, and even the guards are much less than usual!"
Cao Jixiang's face changed, and he just hesitated whether to make a move, but he saw Shi Heng hiding in the shadows.
"Zhongguo Gong?"
Shi Heng's voice was anxious, quite urging, "Gonggong Cao, the guards everywhere have been replaced by me, what are you waiting for!"
Cao Jixiang was overjoyed and directly took the factory guard to open the Donghua Gate.
A figure slowly and unhurriedly appeared in front of Cao Jixiang and the Dongchang factory guard, Lu Lijiu's movements were gentle and elegant, as if Cao Jixiang had not committed any heinous crimes, but just ordinary trivial things.
"Grandpa Cao is so anxious so late at night, why is it the matter?"
"Lu Lijiu!" Cao Jixiang frowned, and his tone was full of astonishment.
Cao Qin realized that something was wrong and intended to escape with a subordinate behind his back, but the Donghua Gate was quickly closed when Lu Lijiu's voice fell, and the city wall suddenly lit up with torches, and Huo Yanqing was frowning at Cao Jixiang in the middle of the city gate.
There is a military department in front and a brocade guard in the back.
This trick is silent to catch turtles in the urn, but it is really wonderful.
"Huo Yanqing. Cao Jixiang's face changed, and he looked at the Donghua Gate, which was surrounded by Jinyi guards and city guards, and his old wrinkled face showed a distorted expression.
"You're calculating!"
"It's a good Lu for a long time. ”
"What a Huo Yanqing!"
"It's the miscellaneous family who underestimated you. The hatred in Cao Jixiang's eyes became stronger and stronger, during this time he had been forced by Lu Lijiu to retreat, first by the emperor with his feet cut off, and then the Dongchang forces were imprisoned.
Losing to a junior, whether it is face or psychology, Cao Jixiang will not be reconciled, he has been powerful for most of his life, how can he admit defeat so easily.
And...... Cao Jixiang didn't dare to lose, if he lost, the relatives and friends of those who were brutalized by him in the past would inevitably crush him to ashes, there were too many wrongs, and there were too many lives in his hands, and he couldn't afford to lose.
"You think you can capture me directly with these forces of yours!" Cao Jixiang's annoyed and angry voice suddenly sounded in the dark night, "Huangkou Xiaoer, after all, you still owe some cultivation!"
Lu Lijiu nodded solemnly, "The city guards and Jinyi guards that can be mobilized by the military department are indeed not the opponents of the secret guards trained by the inhuman people of Dongchang. ”
Moreover, there is also Shi Heng.
"But ......" Lu Lijiu raised his head, and the corners of his lips raised a faint smile.
"Hahaha......" Cao Jixiang sneered, "Even if you still know each other, if you beg for mercy to make way at this moment, maybe the miscellaneous family can still give you a way to live." ”
"Admiral Shi, the troops in the palace are all here, as long as you can contain the Jinyi Guard, the Dongchang of the miscellaneous family will inevitably enter the palace......" Cao Jixiang's eyes showed greed, and his voice was even more impassioned, he has been a slave for most of his life, and he has never tasted what it is like to be the lord of all peoples!
"Up!" Cao Jixiang's fingers trembled and pointed at Lu Lijiu, "Who can kill Lu Lijiu, this little mongrel, and there is a reward!"
The secret guards of the East Factory are also ready to attack around Cao Jixiang.
Flutter.
Before Cao Jixiang's words fell, he looked at the sharp sword piercing through his chest with some astonishment, and the sword body was stained red with the blood on his chest.
"Shi Heng, you...... You've turned against you!" Cao Jixiang turned around with difficulty because of his anger, his voice became more and more sharp.
At this moment, Cao Qin had already been frightened to the point that his legs were weak, and those secret guards in Dongchang could not attack, but were surrounded by Shi Heng's subordinates.
Shi Heng sneered, "Gonggong Cao is wrong, Ben Hou is not a rebel, he has never had the heart of rebellion, so how can he say that he has defected?"
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
The gas of the East Factory was exhausted, and Shi Heng finally chose to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and then gave Cao Jixiang a fatal blow at the critical moment in exchange for his position in the court.
"You ......" Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth in pain, "Shi Heng, that's it...... It's just that the miscellaneous family is dead, and it is bound to ...... I'm bound to ask you to go into the water......"
Shi Heng's eyes were grim, and he said in a low voice, "I'm just afraid...... You don't have what it takes. ”
Over the years, Shi Heng has done a lot of pickling things, but it is too far worse than Cao Jixiang's punishment.
Cao Jixiang's eyes widened as the sword in his chest was violently withdrawn by Shi Heng, and his body fell to the ground without a blink.
Lu Lijiu shook his head and arched his hand in the direction of the shadows, "Respectfully the emperor!"
Zhu Jianshen was young, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon shining by the fire, looking at Cao Jixiang, who was not blind, but he only glanced indifferently, "You can't be buried after death." ”
Lu Lijiu stood on the ground, staring at Huo Yanqing standing on the city wall.
His face was cold, and that indifference was revealed from his bones, not against a certain person, it was by nature.
Family History, Official Position...... It's really good, but it's hard for him to be so good.
Lu Lijiu only felt a touch of bitterness in his heart.
Huo Yanqing seemed to have noticed that Lu Lijiu was watching him, and his eyes met him without fear.
