Chapter 1277: Melancholy
The pear blossoms in the yard are blooming, and the clusters of snow-white clouds are very beautiful.
Qi Hao looked at the pear blossoms of this tree after practicing, and said, "The peach blossoms in the garden at home are also blooming this season. "When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the family will go to enjoy the flowers, and after enjoying the flowers, the willows will have people collect the petals and dry them into dried flowers.
"Lord Shizi, are you homesick?" No matter how old he is, Qi Hao is also a twelve-year-old child, and it is normal for him to be homesick.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Yes, I miss my father and eldest sister." "I didn't feel it when I went out with Yunqing before, but this time I have a deep understanding.
Yi Kun smiled and said, "We should go back in a few days." After Zong Siyuan arrived, Qi Hao has been by his side and watched him act. After a period of time, the response process of disaster relief is almost clear.
Lu Bai walked over and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, someone is coming from Ho City, guess who it is?"
It's still up to you to guess, and you know who it is. Qi Hao said: "It must be Cousin Hua." "Not a question, but an affirmation.
Lu Bai said that it was very boring: "The prince is too powerful, he is the young master." "The prince is not as fun as the big county lord.
Qi Hao glanced at Lu Bai and couldn't help but laugh. He knows Lu Bai's life experience, and it is really rare to be so optimistic after experiencing so many things.
Hua Ge'er set out from Ho City, hurried before dawn, and was not willing to rest until after dark. So these days, it's basically spent the night in the wild.
"Cousin, you look so bad, is it not that you are not well yet? "Among the people of the Han family, Qi Hao is also close to Brother Hua.
Hua Ge'er shook his head with a smile and said, "My body has been well early, but I am a little tired after driving for so long, so I just need to sleep." "Seventeen years old is the best stage of energy.
Qi Hao knew that Hua Ge'er was not a reckless person, so he didn't say more: "Daddy, how are they?" After being away from home for so long, he really missed his parents.
"The prince and the princess are very good, but they are worried about your safety. "Brother Hua will report the facts to Qihao, and will not report the good news or bad news. This advantage, Yuxi hopes that he can continue it forever. Because the person in the upper position needs to listen to the truth the most, not all kinds of praise words that praise merit and virtue.
After a pause, Hua Ge'er said again: "By the way, before I came, the princess had a nightmare, dreaming that the prince was killed, so I asked me to bring ten more guards." ”
Qi Hao's face changed drastically, and he asked, "What did you say? My mother dreamed that I was killed? Who said this?
Hua Ge'er is a little unclear, it's just a nightmare, why did the prince react so much. Hua Ge'er said: "It was the prince himself who said it." Before leaving, the prince asked me to tell you about it. ”
Qi Hao's expression was very ugly.
Seeing this, Yi Kun hurriedly said: "Lord Shizi, dreams are all the opposite, you don't have to worry. "It's a child, but it's just a nightmare that the princess has frightened.
Lu Bai also interjected: "I think about it day and night, the princess is too worried about you to have nightmares." ”
Yu Zhi stood aside and did not say a word.
Qi Hao smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand, my mother's dream is very effective." "My mother dreamed that he was killed, and I thought that he had a life and death catastrophe.
After a pause, Qihao explained: "Ten years ago, my mother dreamed of a great drought in the world. As a result, there was a real drought. "The drought was particularly severe that year, with nearly a million people dying.
Not many people knew about this, and the faces of those present changed when they heard this.
Hua Ge'er finally understood why the prince was so solemn when he came out, and he also knew that his aunt had the ability to predict good luck and evil.
After half a ring, Yi Kun said: "No wonder the prince and the princess spent a lot of money to hoard food that year. "It's also because they have hoarded enough grain to send troops in case of drought, and then take Shanxi and Henan in one fell swoop.
Yu Zhi, who had not spoken much, finally spoke: "Lord Shizi, for the sake of safety, you better not go out!" Since the princess can predict good luck and evil, she dreamed that the prince was killed, then the prince was very dangerous.
Yi Kun and Lu Bai also mean the same, let Qi Hao stay at home and don't go out, it's safer.
Hua Ge'er didn't speak.
Qi Hao had regained his composure at this time and said, "I can't just huddle in the house and not go out because I'm afraid. In addition, there is a saying that disaster falls from the sky, and it is really dangerous, and it will also happen if you hide in the house. ”
Thinking that this ground movement had caused countless people who were still asleep to lose their lives, everyone did not say a word.
Yu Zhi thought for a while and said: "In this case, then let's find a stand-in, and when the time comes, let the stand-in pretend to be the prince of the world, and the prince of the world to pretend to be a guard." This reduces the danger a bit. "The Assassin would have been suspicious this time, but killing two people is much more troublesome than killing one.
Hua Ge'er said: "Let me pretend to be the prince of the world!"
Lu Bai glanced at Brother Hua and said, "Young Master Cousin, your height and body type do not match the prince of the world. During this time, when the prince went out, many people have seen it, if you pretend to be an outsider, you can recognize it at a glance. ”
Yu Zhidao: "It's okay. "He had already prepared two stand-ins for Qi Hao, but he didn't use them all the time.
This time Qi Hao didn't refuse, but he was a little worried: "His voice and behavior are different from mine, and those people are likely to recognize him." "It's okay to use a stand-in, but I'm afraid of doing useless work.
Yu Zhi shook his head lightly and said, "For these people, they would rather kill by mistake than let go." However, when he goes out, he tries not to speak. ”
Hua Ge'er said: "Shiziye, let me ask if there is something!" Disturb the sight of those people, so that Shiziye will be safer.
Yi Kun saw Qi Hao frowning and said, "Lord Shizi, don't let people get close when you go out." "If you don't let people get close, the danger is much lower.
Although Qi Hao insisted on going out, he also spared his life: "Listen to you." "He can't stay in Mianzhou for too long, and he will go back in half a month at most.
And they discussed it for a long time, trying not to make a mistake. After the discussion, it was already half an hour later.
Yi Kun and Lu Bai went down to arrange, and Qi Hao said to Brother Hua, whose eyes were full of bloodshots: "Cousin, go and rest!"
Hua Ge'er shook his head and said, "I'll have to wait a little longer." With that, he took off his clothes, then took a dagger, tore open his underwear, and took out the letter sewn inside.
After receiving the letter, Qi Hao didn't ask what it was, and he knew that Hua Ge'er definitely didn't read the letter.
handed over the things, and Brother Hua was also light: "Lord Shizi, I'll go down and rest." "I haven't had a good rest these days, and I'm so sleepy.
"Well, you go and have a good rest!" After a pause, Qi Hao added: "I won't go out today." ”
Qi Hao opened the letter, and the first thing he saw was an edict that could be deployed. Now Qi Hao understands why Hua Ge'er wants to put this letter close to him. Once this handwritten decree of redeployment falls into the hands of someone else, it will cause immeasurable consequences.
Unless there is something in doubt, Yu Zhi will not ask.
Qi Hao took the initiative to say to Yu Zhi: "This is the dispatch of troops that my father gave me. "Without this edict, even if he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has no right to mobilize troops and horses. The joke that the nobles of Wang Sun can dispose of officials at will when they go out, that is all nonsense. Unless it was the emperor who granted the power of life and death, the prince who killed the official would also be severely punished.
Yu Zhi was a little surprised: "The prince gave you the grant to transfer troops?"
With Yuxi's nightmare, Qi Hao was also a little worried in his heart, he was just strong and calm just now. But now with this edict, Qi Hao is no longer afraid.
Qihao asked, "Yu Zhi, what tricks do you say these people will use to harm me?"
Yu Zhi's expression remained unchanged and said: "Their usual tricks are poisoning and assassination. "Because of Qi Hao's arrival, martial law has been imposed in Mianzhou City, and those assassins can only come to the dark if they want to harm Qi Hao, and it is impossible to set up an ambush to harm them. Of course, they have sixty elite guards, and they are not afraid to set up an ambush.
Qi Hao thought for a while and asked: "My whereabouts are not fixed, how do you say they assassinated me?" It is very difficult for these people to poison Qi Hao, because Qi Hao is very self-disciplined and does not eat outside things, and the water and food are all brought by himself, so Yi Kun and Yu Zhi and others are very worry-free.
I don't know, I thought Qi Hao wanted to leak his whereabouts to those people! Yu Zhi's expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "What does the prince want to do?"
A sneer flashed on Qi Hao's face: "Didn't they plan to kill me? Then I'll give them this opportunity to see if they have the ability to kill me?"
It was exactly what he expected.
Seeing that Yu Zhi was silent, Qi Hao said: "As long as we arrange it properly, there will be no danger." "Qi Hao also had this idea because he could transfer troops. Although he wanted to catch all these people hiding in the shadows, he would not let himself be in danger.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, Lord Shizi, no matter how perfect the trap is, there are loopholes." No matter what Qi Hao said, Yu Zhi didn't agree. He can't let Qi Hao put his life in danger, once he makes a mistake, he will regret it at that time.
The assassination of Qihao was directly responsible for Meng Nian: "Your Majesty, Yun Qihao has been in Mianzhou for so long, and he has never left the guards for half a step. Our people can't get even half a step close to them. "The main thing is that they don't know Qihao's whereabouts, so they can't prepare in advance.
Yan Wushuang said: "You can always find loopholes." "As long as you have the heart, you can always find an opportunity.
That being said, this loophole is not so easy to find. Meng Nian shook his head and said, "Yun Qihao, he doesn't look like a child at all. "A twelve-year-old child, without curiosity or rebellion, is like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes.
Yan Wushuang was not surprised, he already knew what Yun Qihao's temperament was. Although he sent someone this time, he knew that the success rate was very low. Yan Wushuang was a little melancholy, and said: "If only Ah Chi could be as cautious as Yun Qihao, it would be good if I protected Ah Chi too well, so that Ah Chi would not have a sense of crisis." ”
Meng Nian disagreed with Yan Wushuang's statement: "Not only Yun Qihao, but even Yun Lan and Yun Wu are also very cautious. "Yunqing and Han Yuxi are no less protective of their children than the emperor. It can only be said that some things are innate.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "It's different." Because Han Yuxi almost died in my hands several times, this woman had a strong sense of crisis, and I think it was because of this reason that several of her children were affected. ”
Meng Nian fell silent.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and changed the topic: "Tongcheng, I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle." ”
Meng Nian's face was a little ugly, they got the matter of the Donghu people gathering soldiers and horses earlier than Yunqing.
Yan Wushuang said: "Lin Fengyuan has gone up again and asked to be transferred to Tongcheng, what do you think?"
Meng Nian naturally would not object: "Lin Fengyuan is still very good at fighting. "Meng Nian is in charge of the intelligence department, and he also knows that Lin Fengyuan has a very bad relationship with his wife Deng. After being married for so long, Deng is not pregnant.
Seeing Yan Wushuang frowning, Meng Nian asked, "Does the emperor think there is something wrong with Lin Fengyuan?"
Yan Wushuang didn't answer this question, but asked, "How is Tie Kui's recovery?" After Tie Kui was seriously injured, he was replaced by a general named Sui Tang.
Meng Nian shook his head and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that it must be taken care of, otherwise it will have serious sequelae and hinder your life." "Imperial Physician Zhang is their man, it is impossible to lie.
Yan Wushuang said: "It's too good to get hurt. ”
"Your Majesty, do you still doubt General Tie?" In fact, until now, Meng Nian didn't understand why Yan Wushuang had always been at ease with Tie Kui. According to the information he found, Tie Kui did not have the slightest problem.
"If Tie Kui is not seriously injured, I will transfer him to Tongcheng. Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang frowned: "Tie Kui was also a tiger general in Tongcheng before, but since he arrived in the capital, he has neglected martial arts by thinking about making money, otherwise how would he let the assassin succeed three times and twice." "When Tie Kui was in Liaodong, his martial arts were also among the best among a group of generals.
Meng Nian said: "A comfortable life is easy to make people lose their fighting spirit. ”
In the afternoon, Yan Wushuang received an excerpt from Qiu Dashan, accompanied by a letter from Ah Chi and Ah Bao. After reading the letter, Yan Wushuang put down the matter at hand, and Yan Wushuang went to the harem.
Yuchen was dealing with palace affairs, and when he saw Yan Wushuang, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty is auspicious." ”
Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Ah Bao and Ah Chi have a letter, you can read it!" After speaking, he handed the two letters to Yuchen.
After reading the letter, Yuchen said with a smile: "Ah Chi's letter is always just a few words, and Ah Bao is much better than her." "Po has written six pages, more than all of Achi's letters combined.
Yan Wushuang didn't have a smile on his face.
Yuchen sighed in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Yan Wushuang's eyes fell on the letter on the table: "Dashan said that Ah Chi has injured his roots, and it will take three or five years to recover." In fact, Qiu Dashan said that Ah Chi had sequelae, and he was likely to live with the medicine jar in the future. It's just that he was afraid that if he told the truth, Han Yuchen would have to **** again.
Yuchen didn't think so much: "Then I have to pick out some good medicinal materials and send them over, so that Ah Chi can get better soon." ”
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "I will let Imperial Doctor Hua go to Tongcheng." "Dr. Hua Tai is good at conditioning people's bodies.
