Chapter 140: Qin Loses His Deer
Su Chi and Su Cen stood in the makeshift epidemic center, watching the sergeants and doctors busy everywhere, three months have passed, although the current epidemic has not spread, but there is still no solution. You can't lock them up for the rest of your life!
Some of the sick were arrested with their families, and some of them were waiting for their relatives to recover from their illness, and every day some people were swept out by mats, thrown casually on mass graves outside the city, and then cremated and buried deeply. In this era, it is also important to be complete after death, and there is always a sad wail in the face of the cremation scene, Su Chi has seen it a few times, but at most he only agrees that the family members with good family circumstances will bury the patient in their own cemetery, but they must still be buried and cremated in accordance with the rules. Compassion and pity are one thing, but kindness does not solve the problem.
With a dull pain in his heart, but he could only look at it coldly, Su Chi sighed: "It's been three months, I'm afraid I can't find a cure for this disease." "The palace even sent a doctor, plus the civilian recruit, as well as the military doctor, and everyone couldn't discuss a way. Just talking about fever.
Su Cen's face was even more solemn than Su Chi, thinking of today's quarrel in the study, he couldn't help frowning: "Wait another half a month, and this place will be on fire!" ”
Ling Feng behind Su Chi jumped in his heart, there were still a hundred or ten people here, so he set fire to it. Can a girl twist her son?
But he didn't expect Su Chi to just raise his head, look at the epidemic in his eyes, and mutter, "Is there really no way?" Once burned, there is nothing left. "You can't be resurrected from the dead.
Su Cen pursed her lips and didn't speak, Su Chi knew in her heart.
There was nothing to say between the two for a while, and Su Chi felt that the broken hair on his forehead swept his eyes a little astringent, and his eyes were red, and he listened to Su Cen say: "The New Year is approaching, and the officials of Jinzhou can't all be empty, Jinling must have someone to give an explanation, and at the latest half a month, he will be ready to leave for Beijing." Once I leave, people here will be sent home through various channels, where can this epidemic be prevented? This Jinzhou City is already full of moths. ”
Su Chi understood Su Zen's words, and Su Zen had originally forcibly detained them by relying on a strong iron fist and His Majesty's holy decree. Once he leaves, who can guarantee that his orders will be followed. At that time, it will become a scene of rich and powerful people competing to show their strength, and then the epidemic will be out of control.
Su Chi asked casually: "The eldest brother has moved the interests of so many people, how can he explain when he returns to Jinling?" ”
"You don't ask these days, I thought your mind was all in His Highness, it turns out that you still know that I am your eldest brother." Su Cen pretended to be relaxed, and seeing that Su Chi didn't smile at all, he straightened his expression: "The fox is just a fake tiger." King Yu borrowed the name of the reserve army to almost turn Jinzhou into his own jurisdiction, His Majesty was dissatisfied for a long time, so he took advantage of the famine to order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to suppress. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has read too much of the sage teachings, and he is here to help the disaster, but he has forgotten his mission. ”
Su Chi looked at the big stone behind her, Ling Feng knew how to bring her a cloth, and Su Chi sat up: "Big brother, you underestimate him too much." ”
Su Cen raised his voice, "Oh? ”
"It's not that the prince doesn't know His Majesty's intentions, it's just that it's thankless to purge the reform or not, and he would rather do something practical. Rather than spending effort on these battles for succession, he prefers to invest his heart and soul in the common people. You probably don't believe it, he's not for fame, not for profit, right? Who put him in this position? ”
"How?"
"The prince knows all over the world, but His Majesty has appointed him with a gentle temperament. If he does not compete with King Yu, His Majesty will inevitably question the ability of the prince. But if the focus is really on the succession and shows a different side of the usual, what do you think Your Majesty? His Majesty not only will not be impressed by him, but he is afraid that his heart is full of worries about the insecurity of the throne. His son not only has the name of righteousness, the support of the people, but even has a tenacious and ruthless side that has been hidden for many years. His Majesty will not understand that he was tightly pressed by King Yu, and will only follow King Yu to persecute him. Perhaps His Majesty's purpose in the first place was to depose the prince. Su Chi sat on the stone, his hair was a little messy from the wind, but he didn't hide the beautiful face under his stubborn eyes.
"There is some truth in what you said, the situation has changed, and His Majesty's mentality has naturally changed. But if you want to say that you originally had the intention of deposing, there should be no one, and among the princes of Bi Jing's dynasty, this one is the most gentle and harmless. However, the prince's injury has been reported, and the excerpts requesting the deposition of the prince must have piled up at this time. Su Cen looked straight into Su Ji's eyes and probed her mind deeply. So far, the Su family can't help but make a choice, but Su Chi's mind can't help but consider.
Su Chi glanced at it, Ning Lizhen's health is not a good thing that he is not a prince, but there are a few abolished princes who have died well since ancient times. Su Chi took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Big brother, you moved so many people this time, is it because of His Majesty's instructions before leaving?" It's not a joke that you're imprisoning officials like that. Su Chi had already asked this, but the two of them had been busy, and although they were close at hand, they hadn't even met a few times.
"Not exactly, my father gave me two lists and said ······" Thinking of the names on the list, Suzen paused, and took a step forward.
"List? Say what? Su Chi stood up and followed Su Cen forward, and the Ling Feng behind him stood still.
"My father said that the people on the first list must not be moved. The person on the second list should not be spared. "As the young master of the Su clan, although he is not yet known as the son of the world, what he has mastered now is different from the past. Su Cen had an idea in his heart that was beating suddenly, and the big chess game of the court finally had a place for him to stand.
"Who's on the list?"
Suzen touched her head and looked at the top of her head: "What do you think?" Ah Chi, I remember when I warned you not to think anything about the crown prince, unless you want to live the life of your aunt in the deep palace. But now I want to warn you that even if you want to live like your aunt, you can't, you can't, you can't have anything to do with any of Your Highnesses. Su Cen straightened his face, looked at Su Chi who was a little surprised, and emphasized solemnly: "Never." ”
Su Chi was a little uncomfortable with Su Cen's sudden teachings, she thought of Chongyao in Jinling, remembered the farewell of the two outside the city that day, and remembered that day in Ge Zhai where he said goodbye, memories came to her heart, and she only felt infinitely bitter.
Su Chi's thoughts had drifted away, and when she arrived in Jinzhou, she received his letters twice every ten years. In the past three months, I have read six letters, word by word, but there is no reply to half of them. She is not troubled by her youngest daughter, but she feels that the two are drifting apart.
A shallow child's mind, but separated by authority, ambition and family feuds, mountains and mountains are stacked, and there is no dawn.
Realizing that he was distracted, Su Chi pulled back his thoughts, and looked at Su Cen's enlightened expression with a slight embarrassment on his face: "What did the eldest brother say just now?" ”
"Looking at your expression, didn't I say it too late?" Su Cen was rarely strict here in Su Chi, but he was very serious at this time. My sister looks cold-faced and cold-hearted, but in fact, she can't be more careful about the people around her. Since ancient times, men and women have been obsessed with women, and the things of men and women are just icing on the cake for men, but women are easy to indulge. Looking at Su Chi's expression, the more worried Su Cen became.
Su Chi lowered his head, and was about to speak when he saw Wei Ming riding a horse, Wei Ming saw Su Chi turn over and dismount, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty's holy decree has arrived, please return to the post house as soon as possible." ”
Su Chi's face was cold, and Su Cen also said coldly: "Has the decree been announced?" What does the Divine Decree say? ”
Wei Ming swallowed: "Well, when his subordinates left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was preparing to receive the order, and his subordinates didn't know ······"
Su Cen resisted the urge to kick over, and Su Chi could only speak for the stupidity of his subordinates: "The matter has come to this, let's go back first." ”
Su Cen glanced at Wei Ming, but still couldn't help but sympathize with Su Chi and said, "Why don't you give you Zhou Cong by my side?" "If I didn't know that Weiming is good at force, I really thought that this Weiming was here to be funny.
Wei Ming's feet were crooked, but he heard Su Chi say: "It's good to be stupid and stupid, it's enough for Ling Feng to be smart, this, just raise it to be happy." ”
The girl still wants him, that's praising him, right? Well, well, don't be proud, Weiming felt that he was really calm.
When the Suzen brothers and sisters returned home, the courtyard was silent, and the door was full of officers and soldiers. As soon as Su Cen entered, he heard the official at the head of the company whisper: "It is the holy decree of the abolition of the prince and the establishment of His Royal Highness as the king of Changxin." ”
Su Cen's heart was shocked, and he turned to look at Su Chi, also with a shocked look. Su Chi took half a step forward and asked hurriedly: "Prince... Where are the people? ”
The official wearing the five-grade court uniform naturally recognized her, and only replied: "Your Highness has retired from everyone, and no one will see her, but ······" But Lord-sama went straight in.
Ning Lizhen was injured in the chest, narrowly avoiding the vital point, but still hurt her heart and lungs. The lungs are the most difficult to nourish, there can be no sadness and depression, and the emotional stability is resting, which is also the reason why the Suzen brothers and sisters strongly hope that he will give up his official duties. Su Chi was afraid that he would be stimulated, so he rushed in with the wind under his feet, but it was a different situation when he walked into the yard.
Ning Lizhen's hair was scattered and scattered, and a person standing beside him said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't be angry, whoever the position of this prince should belong to, it will be whoever." I can't take it away, I can't take it away, and now it's just a matter of returning it to its original owner. But if he has tasted it, you must have tasted it a hundred times better. ”
The man faced Ning Lizhen, Su Chi couldn't see his face, but he was dressed in a military uniform. Looking at the people around him who were wearing the clothes of the Praetorian Guards, a Praetorian Guard next to him was also holding the crown prince's jade crown, which was the jade crown that Ning Lizhen often wore. He wears a light yellow prince gown, with a gold and jade crown, which can be described as a personable prince and elegant.
At this moment, he was forcibly taken off the jade crown, and he had heard that the Praetorian Guards had become the minions of King Yu, but he didn't expect them to be so bold and reckless, so humiliated to him. Even though he didn't have the idea of having children, Ning Lizhen was also half of Su Chi's brother who had known him for many years, and Su Chi stepped forward quickly.
Ning Lizhen didn't react, and Su Chi couldn't bear to look at his sad expression, so he just stood behind him. Then he pulled out one of his golden hairpins, put Ning Lizhen's long hair on his hands, and casually pulled a man's hair in a bun and fixed it with the hairpin. After waiting for the hair bundle to be fixed, Su Chi sneered: "Even if it's just a genuine Changxin King, shouldn't adults be polite?" Have you ever heard the truth that the official level crushes people to death? ”
After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the official, but he couldn't help but be surprised, it was not someone else, it was Shu Yunjing's niece, the current deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Shu Yao. Thinking of Shu Yao's disrespectful words to Ning Lizhen, Su Chi had a big mystery in his heart and suddenly understood.
Su Chi has never understood, according to Chongyao's temperament of revenge, how can he keep the traitor of the Shu family until now? The destruction of the Shu family, this deputy commander of Shu can be described as "immeasurably meritorious", if it weren't for her righteous annihilation, how could she be implicated. Su Chi always thought that Shu Yao had betrayed the Shu family, so he had no choice but to oppose Chongyao and be with King Yu. But if that's the case, how could Chongyao not kill her?
Fang Cai Shuyao said that the position of the prince "returns to the original owner", and the prince expected by the Manchu Dynasty at the earliest time was the son of His Majesty's original match, King Chongyao of Qinghe. It's just that at that time, his name was Ning Qiongzhen.
This move is so big: behind the Praetorian Guard is Chongyao. King Yu was unaware of it, and was inserted by Chongyao in such a confidant in the most important Praetorian Guard, which is really his usual meticulous thinking. Chongyao is so hollowed out, Su Chi doesn't know whether to be surprised or happy.
Shu Yao met Su Chi's eyes, and the two looked at each other at the same time, speaking of which, this was the first official meeting between the two. With such a close distance, you can catch even a flash of expression in your eyes.
Su Chi was on Shu Yao's waist, it was a delicate sword spike, a very unique jade gourd. A cold light flashed in Su Chi's eyes, and there was also such a one on Chongyao's waist, a jade gourd. He is such a cautious person, but he brings a jade gourd with him every time he meets in private. I thought it was a relic of my deceased mother, but now it seems to be a couple.
Su Chi's stopped gaze, Shu Yao also felt it, her mind moved, and she was about to clench her fists, but she suddenly made a woman's salute: "I've seen the county lord!" ”
Su Chi became more and more unpleasant: "Don't dare to be, Deputy Commander Shu doesn't even pay attention to His Royal Highness, where can I still see the idler of this county lord." It was getting late, and the deputy commander had better return to Beijing as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. ”
Shu Yao's hostility was undisguised, she didn't shy away from it at all, and her eyes fell straight on Su Chi's hair: "Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums." The county lord and His Royal Highness are really enviable. ”
"When I left Jinling, it was Chongyang, so I went with my father to worship General Shu. I heard that the deputy commander has been under the general's knees since he was a child, do you still remember the general's voice? Su Chi hooked the corners of his mouth and helped Ning Lizhen to walk inside.
Hearing this, Shu Yao's heart trembled, and his fingers seemed to tremble, "Uncle has a dream, I miss the old man, and I also ask the county lord to tell the Duke of Yasukuni." The death of the Shu family is an indelible pain in Shu Yao's heart, even though time flies, but such a tragic scene lingers in his mind.
Su Chi inherited Su Yuan's seven-inch mastery, and Shu Yao went out with a pale face. A woman's instincts are always terrifying, and it's the first time the two have faced each other like this.
Su Chi helped Ning Lizhen, and the little guys around him also hurriedly helped to support.
For Ning Lizhen, this winter came so quickly, violently, and disillusionedly. Although there is no snow, it is cold.
Father, you never thought of giving me this throne, did you?
You just like me to be a puppet. But you know what? One by one, the thread passes through the puppet's arms, ankles, waist and skull, and the puppet hurts when the string is tight or loose.
Why bother to be crowned?
Even if you give poisoned wine, you can't do it!
Ning Lizhen's chest rose and fell, and suddenly he couldn't stop coughing, and Su Chi, who was directing the little servant, turned around and took the handkerchief for him. Ning Lizhen continued mechanically, his mouth was already speechless, he only coughed and retched, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and coughed out.
Su Chi's eyes hurt badly, and on the handkerchief, the red was poignant and beautiful.
The bright colors are like the flowers recorded in the ancient books, and the Manzhu Sawa all over the sky leads the deceased to the other end of the flower on the other side and walks towards a new life.
This peony prince, who was praised by everyone and loved by the people, finally fell.
Looking at today, who is the hero?
Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it!
