Chapter 533 - It's chilling
The ninth day of September is a good day for one in a million. But Meng Wang's eyes hurt, as the prime minister, he couldn't even do things like the wedding day that the ceremonial officer chose for the princess.
This is still the news that he asked the secret guards in the palace to sneak into.
Emperor Lu not only beat him with a stick, but also strictly ordered him to be grounded in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a year. Before he was carried out that day, Emperor Lu said coldly: "I want you to temporarily withdraw from political affairs, so that you can calm down and calm down, and don't live up to the reputation of Prime Minister Tao's high-ranking disciple!" ”
In fact, there is also the meaning of the Wu Xian patriarch behind this. On the night of August 15, he disturbed the proposal of the Wu Xian patriarch, who accepted the condition that Emperor Lu re-submit his request for marriage, in addition to not being able to surrender the right to the army, was to punish him for forgetting his worries.
The former ambassador of the alliance once lost power and became a thorn in the side of both sides.
But he didn't care, all he cared about was how to delay the wedding, or even not take place. Emperor Lu was ruthless, he had seen it before he returned from that mountain village, and the death of the former queen and the two princes became a nightmare for the village later.
After Emperor Lu took the princess, he sent troops to surround all the exits of the village, and then poured fish oil on fire and burned the entire village.
There is not even an interrogation and a search for the real culprit. Thinking about it, the emperor is now only beating him with a hundred military sticks, and ordering him to be grounded for half a year, and he is not allowed to participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China, which is considered "extraordinarily generous". After all, behind him, the prime minister, there is also a group of old ministers, and if he is too heavy, it will chill others.
Meng Wangwu lay on the bed and ordered the little servant to bring the Vermilion Bird bronze lamp and burn the silk silk in his hand to ashes.
Today is August 18, and it is only about 20 days before the 9th day of September. The emperor is so anxious to send his country out? He waved his hand to let the little girl stand back, and only looked at a pot of autumn orchids full of buds placed in front of the window.
It was given by a woman named Lu Qian last year, and it is the most beautiful pot of orchids.
If he hadn't changed his mind and kept tracking down the identity behind Lu Qian, would it be a different result now? Meng Wangwu wrinkled his eyebrows, and even his lips were tightly pursed, in fact, the situation was not uncontrollable.
What is uncontrollable is actually the human heart.
He tried his best to activate his muscles and bones every day, and he drank medicinal soup and applied medicinal mud, and his recovery from his injuries was also gratifying. It's just that the people who are discharged get bad news every time, which makes the heart panic.
The situation outside is still turbulent, and Emperor Lu sent troops to conquer the Ghost Valley but did not give up. There were also heavy casualties.
I heard that there was a branch of the Wuxian clan in the Ghost Valley that joined in, consolidating the formation defense, and in the Ghost Valley, there is a useful soldier wizard Feng Qingyi and many strong people in the rivers and lakes, even if they use fierce beasts, they can't attack it.
The Wuxian patriarch was so angry that he killed several of his subordinates.
Still, the wedding still has to go on. The ninth day of the ninth month of September came soon, and Meng Wangwu felt that he had suddenly arrived on this day as soon as he closed his eyes and opened his eyes. However, he was still confined to the prime minister's mansion, like an ant locked in an altar, so anxious that he couldn't get out.
In the past few days, he has dreamed of the scene of the village being burned every night, and the bad premonition in his heart has become stronger and stronger, and he even wants to go directly to rob Princess Junyang!
Of course, he is not a reckless person. Even though his mood was burning like fire, he still quickly planned the most reasonable and seamless way - to find a willing girl from the market who wanted to be prosperous to be the princess's stand-in.
No matter how dangerous what he was going to do next, Meng Wangwu wanted to give it a try!
Let the secret guard pay a high price to secretly go to the ghost market to find a master who can "noh face" skills, make a human mask that is very similar to the princess, and then teach some palace etiquette. On the day of the wedding, in the cave room, while the princess was sitting alone, he replaced the person.
After that, I will make further plans.
Human masks are extremely difficult to make, but each one can last for half a year, and as long as he secretly sends people to teach etiquette, he is happy to make human faces at a high price twice a year. It's just that this trick is too dangerous, comparable to walking on spider silk with the life of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Below, there is a forest of swords and swords with a cold light!
However, Meng Wangwu was unable to send the girl to the palace in the end. He finally lost the thrilling opportunity to walk on spider silk, and wasted a lot of money in the production of human faces. It wasn't that his plan was discovered, but on the morning of the wedding, something happened in the palace.
Emperor Lu was found to be in the imperial study, and at about the same time, there was news that many royal families had died at home.
Great joy instantly turned into great sorrow, and the entire Lu Imperial Palace was shrouded in dark clouds. The spies sent by Meng Wangwei came to report that a total of twenty-seven important people had died in the royal family, including Emperor Lu, and judging from the traces left at the scene, it was the swordsman of Guigu who did it.
The wounds on Emperor Lu's body are very similar to the wounds left by the weapon of the current head of Guigu, Gao Yuanli, and the injuries of other people are also the methods of people in the rivers and lakes.
As the soon-to-be-reign ruler of the country, the Witch King stepped forward to preside over the overall situation and announced that he would temporarily control the political affairs of the state of Lu. When the prince and Princess Junyang get married, he will return the power to Princess Junyang and his wife to avoid suspicion.
At present, it is necessary to immediately start holding a state funeral, and after the national funeral, another auspicious day will be held.
"The people of Ghost Valley are really hateful! not only gathered a crowd to rebel, but also planned to assassinate the royal family, it is simply intolerable not to crusade! Prime Minister, his subordinates are willing to lead everyone to take the lead and avenge the emperor! The dark guard gritted his teeth and asked for his life, and his fist-clasped hand made a "click" sound.
Meng Wangwu was counting the congratulatory gifts at that time, the injuries on his body had not yet healed, and the whole person looked like he was going to fall down at any time.
However, he didn't immediately make a decision after listening to the Dark Guard's words. just hooked his lips coldly: "If the people of Guigu want to assassinate the emperor, why wait until the wedding?" This will only provoke the anger of the people of Lu and trap themselves in unkindness. And there is no benefit. ”
It is others who are good.
"Prime Minister?" The dark guard was puzzled and licked his lips to look at him. At the right time, there was a commotion outside, and someone at the door came to report that he had caught a person who had forced his way into the Prime Minister's Mansion from a hole in the wall outside, holding a dagger, afraid that it was an assassin in Guigu.
Before Meng Wuwu could respond, the secret guard beside him shook his eyebrows first-there is such a "rare" assassin in the world?
"Stand down and call back all those scattered here for the time being. The Prime Minister's Mansion may be in great trouble. In addition, the little girls and girls who don't have martial arts in the house, just give them some money and let them run for their lives. Meng Wangwu said, and had already opened the door with a step.
The dark guard opened his lips in astonishment, but he didn't say anything, just twisted his eyebrows, and quickly turned around and disappeared into the dark passage in the room.
