Chapter 42 Waves are surging
Now it is said that Shen Xinyi and his entourage are non-stop, and they hurried all the way back to the Dingguo Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Shao Changyun had already led people to the street gate, and after putting everyone in the inner house for a while, he instructed Zhang Jing to go to the outer study to discuss matters.
Zhang Jing took care of all the trivial matters, and followed Shao Changyun into the study. He looked around, reflexively closed the door of the house, and said in a deep voice, "Master has heard the letter from above." ”
Shao Changyun stretched out his hand and pushed open the carved window sash on his side, startling the birds in the courtyard to cry twice, spreading his wings and disappearing into the sky. He looked at the heavy eaves and arches in the distance, and pondered silently for a long time before he said slowly: "Uncle Zhang, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"This ...... The old slave can't be investigated, it's hard to say. Zhang Jing pondered for a moment and hesitated.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
The old slave had the audacity to say. Zhang Jing was no longer polite and continued. "Originally, the marriage between the Xie Shao family was just a secret message from Emperor Xiao, and it was not put on the surface. But according to the news from inside, Emperor Xiao intended to issue a clear edict to inform the world of this matter. Could it be that Emperor Xiao really wants to use the name of 'Xie Shao's two families conspired with bad intentions' to attack our two families? ”
Shao Changyun shook his head slightly and said: "Emperor Xiao will not be like this, if he borrows this name, the Xie Shao family will be a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan." If this crime is convicted, it involves a wide range of people, I am afraid that even Emperor Xiao himself will be involved. ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he disagreed: "Emperor Xiao is changeable by nature, and the old slave is foolish, so it's better to guard against it." ”
The corners of Shao Changyun's lips hooked up a cold smile, and he said slowly. "Uncle Zhang, don't forget, the Xie family has Zhang's biggest talisman."
"Ye is talking about the three princes ......"
"Our successor to Duke Xie Guogong is the sister of the third princess." A trace of disdain flashed between Shao Changyun's eyes, and he said with a smile. "If Emperor Xiao really pressed this charge and went all the way, how could the three princes stay out of the matter."
"These three princes are not the eldest sons, Emperor Xiao shouldn't care." Zhang Jing looked in a trance and said in a daze. "Besides, there is a big prince above these three princes."
Shao Changyun closed his eyes and remained silent.
Zhang Jing saw that Shao Changyun's face was flat, and then continued: "According to Emperor Xiao's temperament, it is not impossible to exchange a son for the peace of the country. ”
"Uncle Zhang......" Shao Changyun spoke slowly, cutting off Zhang Jing's words. Emperor Xiao is getting old, and the inheritance of the great unification will only be decided in the past few years. The partisan struggle between the DPRK and China is intensifying, and according to Emperor Xiao's suspicious nature, how could he suppress the three princes at this time and make the other parties dominate. ”
It turned out that Emperor Xiao had a total of six sons under his knees, except for the second prince who died when he was young, and the fifth prince and the sixth prince were still young, the remaining three sons were all crowned kings and stayed in Shengjing for a long time.
The eldest prince Xiao Yong was born in the Xuanwen period, and his mother Fang died on the way to the uprising, and his life is unknown, and he was posthumously named Empress Jingping Renxiao by Emperor Xiao. This Xiao Yong has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and he has made great contributions, and after Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, he was crowned King Kang. Because Xiao Yong is the eldest son, most of his followers are old ministers and old ministers, all of whom are called the Great Prince's Party.
The third prince, Xiao Wang, is the only son of the current queen Wang. In that year, Emperor Xiao rebelled against Qi and won a great victory, Wang's father made great contributions, and after Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, he canonized Wang as the queen of the dynasty, and his son Xiao Wang was canonized as King Huai. The status of this hope has also risen. The subordinates who supported and defended him were mostly maintained by their in-laws. The two camps of Xiangguo Gong Xie Yongzhong and Dingguo Gong Zhao Yu are the mainstay, both of which are known as the Three Princes' Party.
The fourth prince, Xiao Yuan, because his mother was a palace maid in the backyard, had a lowly status, and he was not valued by Emperor Xiao since he was a child. It was not until the year of the crown that he was crowned king. On the bright side, Xiao Yuan has almost no power in the court due to Emperor Xiao's deliberate neglect. As for the private, who this Xiao Yuan is, I won't say it for the time being, and I'll talk about it later.
At present, in the Dacheng court, only the Great Prince's Party and the Three Princes' Party are evenly matched, and the two restrain and contain each other, maintaining the calm and calm of the court. It is precisely because of this that Shao Changyun made such remarks.
Continuing the preface, and said that Zhang Jing heard Shao Changyun's words, and said ashamedly: "The old slave is frightened, and he still hasn't explored Emperor Xiao's intentions. ”
"Last year, because of King Kang's sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven on behalf of Emperor Xiao, the arrogance of the eldest prince and his party became more and more prosperous. Emperor Xiao gave marriage at this time, and what he did was just to elevate King Huai so that his power could compete with King Kang and balance the power of the court. Shao Changyun closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and laid out all the current situation on the case.
Zhang Jing heard Shao Changyun's argument, and only then did he relax a little. Seeing that his face was gloomy, he asked in a sullen voice: "Emperor Xiao's edict to give marriage, since it is not against the Xie Shao family, why should the master worry about this." ”
"The disaster of Xie Fu has to be prevented." Shao Changyun was silent for a long time, Fang slowly opened his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Once Emperor Xiao tells the world about the marriage of the Xie Shao family, there will be no place to return. Since she didn't want Zijiang to marry into the Xie Mansion, before Emperor Xiao gave the marriage, it was the last time for her to start. ”
"So what are you waiting for! Didn't you know who Chen Qi's master was? Slaughter it directly, what do you say! When Zhang Jing heard this, he slammed the table and said hatefully: "I have never been like this!" According to the old slave's words, the master doesn't have to take care of any oaths, and directly destroy Xie Fu! ”
"No, you can't. At that time, the father-in-law was exhausted because of the Xie family, and he was dying. He was afraid that I would be angry with the Xie family, and when he was dying, he ordered me to kneel in front of the couch and swear to the sky, and I would not make a move on the Xie Mansion in this life. Shao Changyun smiled abruptly and sighed: "Uncle Zhang, I can't break this oath ......"
Zhang Jing only knew about the oath, but he didn't know the details of it, and said sharply: "No matter what he does, this is bullying people." The master can bear it, but the old slave can't bear it. forced Lao Tzu to rush in directly, and give his old Xie family a cut off of children and grandchildren, and see how long they can be rampant! ”
Shao Changyun glanced at Zhang Jing deeply, his eyes as black as ink. He hid the thousands of sorrows in his heart, and slowly said the oath of the year word by word.
"I, Shao Changyun, swear by the sky, in my lifetime, I will not be unfavorable to the Xie family. If he violates his oath, my father, Uncle Shao Wen, will fall into the Infernal Hell after his death, and will not be born or destroyed, and will never enter reincarnation. ”
Zhang Jing was stunned on the spot, fell into the chair in a daze, and said bitterly: "The old master can really understand people's hearts......
"There's one more piece of news." Shao Changyun smiled miserably and sighed, "Now, not only Emperor Xiao has returned to Beijing with the Holy Driver, but the army led by Xie Tingyue has also returned to Beijing with the Holy Driver. ”
"What!" Zhang Jing suddenly raised his tone, and said in a rough voice: "Didn't the conquest army say that the road met the rogue and delayed the return to Beijing?" ”
"I can only blame that the Xie family kid is too good." Shao Changyun smiled bitterly. "Early this morning, the army has been encamped a hundred miles outside the Holy Capital. When Emperor Xiao's holy drive passed, the army followed the holy drive and returned to Beijing together. ”
"In this way, it will only be a few days before Emperor Xiao issues the edict!" Zhang Jing stared at the tiger and stood up, incredulous.
Shao Changyun shook his head and said, "There are still a few days to turn around, according to Emperor Xiao's temperament, he will not issue an edict immediately." ”
"Why do you say this?"
After Emperor Xiao returns to Beijing, there will be a few days before his longevity. Emperor Xiao has the best face, and he will take this opportunity to reward meritorious soldiers on the occasion of his longevity. If there is no accident, the Daoming edict will also be promulgated at this time to take the lottery of the three joys and the same door. Shao Changyun knocked lightly on the corner of the case and said slowly.
Zhang Jing paced twice in place, and said urgently: "Emperor Xiao's birthday is September 26, if that person starts in this period of time." We don't know how to resist this. ”
Shao Changyun rubbed the corners of his forehead lightly, and sighed helplessly: "This matter is still acceptable, I'm afraid I'm afraid that she will not only attack Zijiang alone this time." ”
"Grandpa......"
Shao Changyun stared and pondered, he had already gotten a glimpse of an unusual atmosphere from the recent successive incidents.
A few days ago, the sudden disappearance of Mrs. Chen had made Shao Changyun's heart alarmed. Maybe everything in front of him wasn't as harmless as it seemed. Otherwise, Mrs. Chen would not have risked revealing her identity and suddenly lost her trace. It was as if there had always been a thin line connecting everything in this dark place, but he couldn't figure out a clue from it.
Shao Changyun thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision.
"Uncle Zhang, in the dark compartment under this book, I have already put something in it. If something happens to you one day, I will trouble you to hand it over to King Lian. ”
Shao Changyun said slowly, his voice was like Mount Tai about to collapse, but in an instant, it was drowned in the clouds and breeze, and there was no trace.
