Chapter 95
As if he had gotten some correct answer, the thirteenth elder brother smiled and said, "Hey, you also think the food is not too hot?" Did you eat a little cold? Your body is not fully healed, and it is normal to feel cold when you see the wind. www.biquge.info Seeing Xia Liansheng's stunned nod, he smiled and stuffed a hand warmer that he had been holding in his hand into Xia Liansheng's hand, and said, "Since you feel cold, then take this hand stove to warm your hands, fortunately, I am wearing a cloak and prepared." But you can also go and sit with your brothers, anyway, you are also a Baylor status, and it is appropriate to sit there. ”
Xia Liansheng thought about it, so he nodded, and then watched the thirteenth elder brother turn his head back to the main hall with a eunuch with a young eye, as if he had returned to his seat directly.
Xia Liansheng was a little puzzled, although it was a little cold this day, but it didn't need to light a hand stove, although he had suffered a total of two serious injuries before, but in his previous life, he was even more desperate when he was training at Lianjia, this kind of injury is common, and he also knows how to train to make himself recover faster. He had told the fourth elder brother about these things, and the thirteenth elder brother should have known about it, so although the thirteenth elder brother's statement sounded right to others, it was a little wrong to him.
Since he excused himself to go to the toilet, he simply asked a little eunuch to show him the way, and continued to an open room dedicated to toileting. Entering the house, turning into the toilet cubicle, he put the hand warmer in his hand on the shelf on the side, the hand stove is quite warm, but it is quite redundant to hold it like this, he has not been sure what the thirteenth elder brother means, so he has to keep it in his hand. Everyone knows that people like to take things to look at when they go to the toilet, Xia Liansheng's eyes have been staring at the hand warmer, looking at it, he felt that something was wrong, the pattern of the hand warmer was a little broken, and it felt like it couldn't be connected.
After untying his hand, he picked up the hand warmer and took a closer look, and found that there was a very similar pattern pasted on the hand warmer, and he couldn't find it if he didn't look closely, so he carefully removed the pattern, and found that it was a soft material the size of a fingernail, which looked like a piece of cloth or leather, and he didn't know how the pattern was made. Looking closely, there is a word written on the other side of the pattern: Bing.
Soldier? Xia Liansheng is a little strange, if it is a matter between princes, then the only thing that has anything to do with soldiers is the eldest prince, what is the matter with the eldest prince? It's not right, if it's the matter of the eldest prince, why don't you write it in big letters?
That's right! Soldier! Rebel! Xia Liansheng suddenly remembered a person named Qin Keqing in the Dream of Red Mansions, his father was the old Prince Yizhong who had done something bad, and many articles in later generations were more inclined to her father to be the original prince who rebelled. Could it be that this is what the Thirteenth Elder Brother wants to tell him? Not good! He had to go back quickly.
Xia Liansheng ran to the main hall with the hand warmer, while stuffing the small pattern in his hand into the gap of the hand warmer and burning it, while thinking about what the thirteenth elder brother said just now, he said that it was good to wear a cloak and be prepared, that is, he was prepared, and he also let himself sit with his brothers, thinking that he wanted him to protect the fourth elder brother. He hugged the hand warmer tightly, although he ran very fast, but his back still felt cold, maybe the sweaty clothes were blown by the wind and felt cold, he was too nervous, he was born in peacetime before, and the training he received was only a simulation of actual combat exercises, although he was also seriously injured, but he had never been so nervous, he knew that something was going to happen, but he had to endure his thoughts and wait for it to happen, this feeling was too exciting. He ran back to the main hall with a smoke, where poetry was still being recited, and the dancers were ready to continue the show at any time. Several princes on the emperor's side also began to toast, the prince nodded and was saying auspicious words, and the eldest brother and other younger brothers were also very happy and happy, it was such a warm picture, Xia Liansheng thought, who would have thought that there was a murderous intention hidden under the warm surface.
In fact, just as Xia Liansheng guessed, the crown prince and the eighth elder brother had long conspired to rebel against the throne, and the prince was personally cultivated by the emperor, so he never lacked patience, so he secretly prepared for a long time, and originally chose a good time for this matter, but the eighth elder brother told him that the emperor planned to abolish the prince in the near future. Although he thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out why his father wanted to abolish him, but thinking about his recent small actions is too much, if the emperor finds any clues, he may abolish the crown prince, so he was anxious and decided to start an incident on the day of the Qionglin banquet. He had prepared everything, but the sticky rod of the fourth elder brother was already pervasive, and he didn't know who heard the news, and he couldn't send it to the fourth elder brother, so he turned around and told the thirteenth elder brother. The thirteenth elder brother was temporarily arranged by Concubine Zhen to follow a little eunuch because of the sudden diarrhea of the personal eunuch, and he knew that he was also more dangerous after receiving the news, but fortunately he found an excuse to go back to his house to change his clothes and make some preparations, and then he thought of Xia Liansheng, and he also hoped that Xia Liansheng could help the fourth brother through the danger.
Although the protagonists of the Qionglin Banquet are the Jinshi of the new department, the ministers who participated in the banquet are all high-ranking officials, one is to accompany the emperor, and the other is to let these new Jinshi recognize their supervisors and superiors, which can be regarded as giving them a chance to meet their bosses in advance. And because of this banquet, many Imperial Guards will set up protection on the periphery, and the guards who usually protect the emperor will also be scattered. Especially in this Qionglin banquet, several princes participated, and the guards followed them separately, one to prevent them, and the other to protect them. The crown prince has already calculated everything, and the entire banquet arrangement is stopped by Concubine Zhen, he is thinking, if something is found in the middle, it can also be pushed to the eighth elder brother and Concubine Zhen, after all, the excerpt from the Jiangnan Salt Imperial History has not seen it, and the tax money that has not entered the treasury is also taken from Concubine Zhen to buy off the guards, if something happens, everything has nothing to do with him.
The eighth elder brother sat down and watched the prince toast his younger brothers and his father with long sleeves, with a gentle smile on his face, but he was secretly excited in his heart, this time he encouraged the prince to rebel, mainly looking at the conspiracy with the prince before, according to the prince's plan, maybe it could be done, but what he wanted was that the prince was successful at the same time, and the situation was controlled by him, so he had to push the prince and let the prince prepare in a hurry, so as to expose the prince's dark line, so that when he got into trouble, Get the best situation yourself. He held the wine glass, and didn't drink a sip, just greeted others, occasionally clinked glasses, and poured the wine into the cotton cloth that had been stuffed in his sleeve to absorb water, and then let the little eunuch next to him run out to change it when it was wet.
