Chapter 25: The Marriage of Two Surnames (2)
At night, the wind blows the bells of the eaves and jingles, and a group of palace people hurriedly walk over the high platform, and a white horse runs in the dark night, and stops in front of the palace gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Nurong turned over from the horse and dismounted, and went straight to the queen's bedchamber.
In the palace of the strong queen, the drip is not broken. Since she knew that Emperor Fu Jian wanted to establish Fu Jian as the crown prince, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and from the time she returned to the palace to the time of Jiaozi, she did not enter the rice. Thinking about it, Fu Sheng is also from himself, why don't you like him? She couldn't tell herself.
Just thinking about it, the palace maid came in to persuade her to rest, and as soon as Queen Qiang got up, a female Rong hurriedly sent a secret letter in.
After Empress Qiang saw it, she didn't care, and said: "You go back and tell the Fan family that it should be the reward that your cousin deserves, and Your Majesty will reward him, and it is useless to beg me for this matter." With that, he placed the secret letter in the brazier and burned it to ashes.
Empress Qiang looked at the flames rising in the brazier, and remembered that His Majesty had asked Fu Chang's guards: "Why is the prince alone in danger, so isolated that he was killed by the Jin army?" ”
The guards couldn't say clearly, and His Majesty asked, "What about Qianghuai?" Didn't he go back to Chang'an with the crown prince? Seeing that the prince was in a predicament, why didn't he send troops to rescue the prince? ”
The guard replied, "When the prince was hit by a stray arrow, there was no trace of General Qiang Huai in the army. ”
When the prince died, Qiang Huai, who was supposed to be with the prince, was not in the army, causing the prince to be isolated and killed directly by the Jin army. When Fu Sheng Chijun arrived, he only saw his brother's corpse, and after Fu Sheng escorted his brother Fu Chang's corpse to Chang'an, there was news of his violent death. In the middle, I have to say that it is strange.
Empress Qiang thought about it, and asked again: "The former prince will be buried in a few days, what news does the Yu family have?" ”
The female Rong replied: "According to the news from the Yu family, Yu Xiaomei has been ill since she learned the news of the prince's death. And as far as I know, Yu Xiaomei is not in the house. ”
Empress Qiang was shocked and said, "Not in the house? "Where would that be? Queen Qiang thought, but didn't say the second half of the sentence.
In the palace, the princes never came out of the Yang Palace, and on the way back to the mansion, no one spoke.
Before entering the palace, the princes had heard rumors in the palace: in troubled times, Huainan King Fu Sheng was known for his military merits, and there was a call from heaven, and the emperor complied with the mandate of heaven and wanted to set up his third son Fu Sheng as the crown prince.
King Huainan has always been unfavored, and he is tyrannical by nature, alcoholic and suspicious, these fathers don't know, let alone entrust the Great Qin to such a person? The sons originally didn't believe such rumors, but today, seeing their father's instructions, it seems that they really have a little intention of becoming the crown prince.
I think that after Taizu insulted Fu Sheng in public during the banquet, no one has taken him seriously over the years, if he is really made the prince...... The consequences are unimaginable.
Fu Sheng returned to the mansion from the palace before entering the small courtyard, and there was a cool breeze behind him for no reason. Fu Sheng paused, looked left and right with cold eyes, and suddenly, a man in black flew up from all directions, showing all the weapons in his hands, and landed in the small courtyard.
After a vicious battle, Fu Sheng looked at the men in black who were killed in the courtyard and asked, "Who are these people?" ”
The soldiers stepped forward, lifted the veil of the group of black-clothed people, and opened the sleeves of those people, searched all over the body and found nothing, shook their heads and said: "It seems to be some dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes." ”
Fu Sheng sneered and said, "Go and check, let's see which minister in the court has the courage to raise the dead?" Hearing this, the soldiers retreated with their fists clenched. The housekeeper on the side saw that Fu Sheng was injured, so he hurriedly asked people to help Fu Sheng into the house and called the little maid to give medicine to Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng sat in the house and couldn't help thinking: The Huainan Royal Mansion has always been well-arranged, and now there are dead people who can enter the palace to assassinate in a grand manner, and there must be ghosts in the middle.
Fu Sheng thought about it, summoned the housekeeper, and ordered him to dismiss the slave girls in the mansion who were driven by confessions, and let the soldiers from the army secretly transfer soldiers to garrison the Huainan Palace. The movement was so loud that the news of Fu Sheng's assassination became known all over the city overnight.
When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked, who was so anxious to put Fu Sheng's life to death? Who is it that has the ability to feed the dead? No one knows.
In addition to the princes, Fu Jing, the king of Pyeongchang, supported his troops on the ba, and was drinking with the military advisor when he got the news. The military advisor asked, "Has the general heard the news that the king of Huainan was assassinated by a dead soldier in the middle of the night?" ”
Fu Jing sat down and said slowly: "There are only two people in the court who have the ability to drive the dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes. One is me and the other is Deng Qiang. I didn't do this, naturally Deng Qiang did it. ”
The military advisor was puzzled and asked: "Isn't Deng Gongzi always friendly with the King of Huainan, how can it be?" ”
Fu Jing smiled and said: "There is no dispute for fame and fortune, but I am afraid that it is, I will be angry at the crown and be red." ”
That night, after Liang Ping received the news of the assassination of King Fu Sheng of Huainan, he rode to Fu Jian's mansion, but was stopped by the house slave in the mansion and told him: "The master of the house is playing chess with the guests, and the general may not be able to enter." ”
When Liang Ping heard this, he said, "Playing chess? And with whom? Lu Po Building? Seeing that the little guy didn't answer, Liang Pinglao walked straight inside regardless of the obstacle, and said as he walked: "It's not playing chess with a woman, what's wrong with me going in?" With that, he broke in.
Liang Ping entered the room, saw that Fu Jian and Lu Polou were unmoved, slightly embarrassed, "hehe" twice, walked to the two of them, poured himself a cup of tea for himself, hiccuped after drinking, looked at Lu Polou and said: "You rotten Confucian, you pull the general to play chess every day, and you don't do anything serious, but what bad idea are you playing?" ”
After speaking, seeing that Lu Polou ignored him, Liang Pinglao felt bored, poured himself six or seven cups of tea, drank them all, and saw that the two still ignored him, so he picked up four or five pieces of dim sum to satisfy his hunger. For a while, the urge to urinate came up, and he hurriedly held Fu Jian's shoulder and said, "Where is the nearest thatched house?" ”
Seeing this, the scholar who was accompanying him stepped forward and said to Elder Liang Ping, "General, please come here." Liang Ping helped the scholar to get up, came back from the toilet, and saw Lu Polou and Fu Jian finishing playing chess. Liang Ping waited for the business to be done, so he was ready to pour himself a moisturizing throat first, but when he saw that there was an extra cup on the small table, he couldn't tell which one he had just used, so he had to give up.
Seeing this, Fu Jian poured tea for Liang Ping Lao and Lu Polou, Liang Ping Lao saw the two of them pick up the cup and taste it slowly, reached out to pick up the remaining cup, and drank the tea in it. The three of them put down the teacups, and Fu Jian asked, "Brother Liang came to visit late at night, what happened?" ”
Liang Pinglao looked at Fu Jian and Lu Polou who were looking at him, blushed for a while, calmed down, took a sip of tea, and said: "After the death of the prince, the princes have become more and more fierce. The assassination of King Huainan tonight shows that some of the sons are ready to move. If we don't make up our minds at this time, I'm afraid that in the future, our lives will not be easy. Therefore, I came to discuss with you late at night, what should we do in the future? ”
Fu Jian looked ahead and knew that Liang Ping's old words meant: Someone assassinated Fu Sheng, indicating that Fu Sheng was the most likely candidate for the crown prince.
And the prince in Fu Jian's heart is only Fu Chang alone. After a long time, Fu Jian stood up and said, "Brother thinks, how should we deal with ourselves at this time in order to protect righteousness?" ”
When Liang Ping heard this, he looked at Lu Polou, and Lu Polou said: "Looking at several princes and princes today, Fu Liang, the king of the plains, has no ambition to win the world; And Huainan Wang Fusheng is tyrannical and unpopular; Changle Wang Fu has no ambitions; Gaoyang Wang Fu Fang has the wisdom to lead troops, but he has no ability to influence the world, and the same is true of King Fu Shuo of Beiping; Huaiyang Wang Fu Teng, Jin Gong Fu Liu, the benevolence of women; Wang Fu Tong of Runan is not outstanding, Wei Gong Fu Xuan, Yan Gong Fu Wu, Zhao Gong Fu is still young......"
Fu Jian frowned and said, "According to my brother's words, there is no one among His Majesty's sons who is capable of helping the world?" ”
Liang Ping saw that what Lu Polou said was contrary to what he thought, so he said on the side: "When you say this, I really don't know which of these princes has the ability to be the crown prince of our Great Qin. Don't detour me, let's talk about it, among the sons, who can take on the role of Daqin Sheji? ”
Seeing that Fu Jian seemed to understand what he meant, Lu Polou didn't want to explain to Liang Pinglao, so he said with a smile: "I can only say goodbye." After speaking, he got up and left, Liang Ping saw this, thoughtfully, followed Lu Polou to say goodbye to Fu Jian, and walked out.
Catching up with Lu Polou, Liang Ping asked: "You rotten Confucian, you keep selling Guanzi, but you tell me, which son should we assist to ascend to the crown prince?" ”
Lu Polou stopped and said, "Among the princes, are there any people you are willing to follow to the death?" ”
Elder Liang Ping thought about it carefully and shook his head. Lu Polou said: "Among the children of the Fu family, who are you willing to follow?" ”
When Liang Ping heard this, he didn't want to blurt out: "Naturally, it's the king of the East China Sea...... Jian ......" spoke, and suddenly realized.
Seeing this, Lu Polou said, "Isn't this the end of it." After speaking, he took the lead in walking out of the mansion of the East China Sea King, and Liang Pinglao then stood on the steps and slapped his head, shouting: "Oops! ”
Lu Polou turned to look at him, only to see Liang Pinglao standing alone on the steps, muttering, "I drank too much tea tonight, and I can't sleep." ”
In the palace of the king of the East China Sea, Fu Jian sat alone in front of the small table and sat quietly until dawn. After his father's death, the honor and disgrace of the East China Sea Royal Mansion were all borne by him, even if the prince in his heart was only Fu Chang, he had to recognize the situation and make a decision as soon as possible.
At dawn, the clouds outside the house were dark and windy. Fu Jian got up and walked out alone, watching the fallen leaves in the courtyard swirl in the wind for a long time and couldn't land, and sighed in his heart: It's winter.
Eastern Jin Dynasty, outside Shanyin City, Wang Xie and his sons returned to the city, Yu Ge and Xie Daoyun Yong Ji took the same car, Yu Ge listened to the wild wind whistling outside the window, covered his hands, and asked: "Sister, in the winter of Shanyin City in previous years, is it so cold?" ”
Xie Daoyun replied: "There has not been such a day for many years, and this winter, I am afraid that it will be colder than ever." ”
When the carriage stopped to rest, Yu Ge jumped out of the carriage, and Xie Dao Yun ordered the slave girl to open the curtain and ask Yu Ge, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yuge ordered someone to bring the Fusang horse and said, "It's really not like me to hide in the car to avoid the wind, I'd better go out and walk the horse to be warmer!" After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, and he had a heroic posture. Xie Daoyun was just about to let her be careful, but suddenly remembered: She is a little sister of the fish. Thinking of relieving himself, and ignoring their playfulness, he just sat in the carriage and fell asleep.
Xie Xuan saw Yuge coming out of the carriage, so he rode his horse and followed, saying, "It's so windy outside, why don't the three girls stay in the carriage?" ”
Yu Ge smiled and said: "I am active by nature, and I am bored in the carriage, so I might as well come out and ride with you." ”
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "It's really worthy of being the third girl!" ”
Yuge also smiled, raised his eyebrows at Xie Xuan and said, "Do you dare to race horses with me?" ”
Xie Xuan stood on the horse, was agitated by Yu Ge, and said angrily: "Why don't you dare? Before the words fell, I saw Yu Ge running out like an arrow from the string. The wind in his ears slid quickly, and Yu Ge rode away on his horse, until he stopped on a small slope, turned around, and saw Xie Xuan's horse hurriedly follow.
Xie Xuanlema stopped and asked, "Why did you stop suddenly?" ”
Yuge didn't answer, turned over and dismounted, looked at the carriage and horses that had fallen two hills, and patted the horses and said, "I'm tired, let's rest for a while." ”
Xie Xuan was on the rise, and when he saw that Yuge was abnormal, he also turned over and dismounted, untied the reins, walked to Yuge's side, and said, "It's up to you." ”
Yuge sat on the hill, watching the wind pass over the mountains, blowing in his ears, thinking of Qin Dilai, he said: "When I was a child, my mother and I talked about the field ceremony and the first silkworm ceremony, I didn't understand what this meant, I only thought about my mother and I said about the spring field hunting, I asked my mother if I could go to see the field hunting, my mother saw that I was stubborn, so I asked my father to answer. ”
Xie Xuan sat next to Yuge, the hair on his sideburns danced in the wind, Xie Xuan didn't care, just looked ahead, and asked, "Then your father has agreed?" ”
Yuge shook his head and said, "My father didn't agree, but just told me in detail what field hunting is. I understood, but I couldn't help but feel a little sorry in my heart, but fortunately, my brother I knew invited me to the racecourse to watch the horse races, which made up for this shortcoming. ”
"Horse racing?" Xie Xuan became interested for a while.
Yuge nodded and said, "I only remember that the Xinyi flowers bloomed just right that spring, and my father and mother went to the house of the brother who had a marriage contract with me. At that time, I didn't know how to ride horses, so I could only sit on the hill and watch them have fun. I regret it in my heart, and I only want a green-maned horse. ”
Xie Xuan was shocked when he heard the words "there is a marriage contract", forced himself to calm down, and asked lightly: "So, in addition to this jujube red horse, you also have a green-maned horse?" ”
Yu Ge smiled and said, "I didn't get the blue-maned horse as I wished, and the brother who invited me to go with me saw that I couldn't get what I wanted, so he gave me the first horse he tamed in his life as a mount." ”
Xie Xuan looked at the jujube red horse in the distance and said, "Is that the jujube red horse?" ”
Yuge replied: "Yes! ”
Xie Xuan was stunned and said: "In our place, you can't go to the horse training farm to train horses before the age of 16, and sure enough, for horse riding, you Hu people are still powerful!" ”
Yuge didn't answer, looked into the distance, Tianyin couldn't tell the direction, and he didn't know where his home and country were for a while.
In Luoyang City, Yuhai was writing in the room, Jiang walked into the study, put on a robe for Yuhai, and said, "Is there still no news of Ge'er?" ”
Yuhai stopped his pen and said, "In troubled times, there is no news, maybe the best news." By the way, it's winter, what about the victims outside? ”
Jiang sighed and said: "Since you ordered the opening of the warehouse for disaster relief, the victims of the disaster in Luoyang City have gathered more and more, and now the food in the house is no longer enough for disaster relief, and the rice on the street is worth a horse of cloth, and I am about to ask you, how should we deal with it?" ”
Yuhai took Jiang's hand and said, "Since you are a parent official, you can't let the people of one side go hungry, even if you cut some of the expenses of the house, you must last until the beginning of spring next year." Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, the Jiang family stopped talking, retreated, and asked the housekeeper to bring the account books to see what other uses in the house could be reduced, so as to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish to survive until the beginning of spring.
Chang'an is no different from Luoyang, with hungry people everywhere and mourning everywhere. Fu Sheng returned to the mansion, summoned the government soldiers, and asked, "Can you find out who wants to put this king to death?" ”
The government soldier replied: "The subordinates are incompetent, since they were ordered to investigate this matter, every time they track down the key clues, they will be cut off, and so far nothing has been found, and dozens of people have been lost." ”
Fu Sheng squinted at the respectful soldiers in front of him, gently put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and said, "It's incompetent enough, but the enemy is in the dark, and it's no wonder you." Saying that, thinking of the Liang family girl that Deng Qiang once said, thinking that now the house is heavily guarded, and those gangsters have no way to start, if they "relax their vigilance" on the pretext of the wedding, will those people throw themselves into the net and send them to the door?
After thinking about it, Fu Sheng said, "Later, you will send a letter to the palace for me." With that, he got up and walked out.
Empress Qiang saw the letter sent by Fu Sheng in the palace, slapped the table and scolded: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense, between this month, don't say that Na Zheng asks Ji, even if you buy the things you need for the wedding, you can't prepare them in this month! Now that it is still the period of the prince's funeral, it is said that the eldest brother is like a father...... The marriage at the end of the year is unreasonable! Saying that, Queen Qiang sat back on her seat, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she went straight to Weiyang Palace.
Before entering the palace, Queen Qiang heard Fu Sheng's voice: "Erchen asked the ceremonial officer, and it is most appropriate to get married at the end of the year." Moreover, Huan Wen returned from defeat, and he must plot the Northern Expedition in the coming year, and his sons only want to get married as soon as possible, and when the distant soldiers come, they can also lead the troops to defend the country. This year, Daqin is in the midst of famine, and the wedding is simple, and I hope that my father will agree. ”
Fu Jian sat down in the hall and asked, "Have you asked your mother about this?" ”
Fu Sheng replied: "Before entering the palace, Erchen had sent someone to send the letter to his mother's harem, and Erchen believed that his mother would sympathize with Erchen's painstaking efforts. When Queen Qiang heard this, she couldn't step in anymore, and she couldn't help but ask in her heart: Is this the Fu Sheng I know? Thinking to himself, he turned around and went back to the palace.
Liang Fuzhong, Liang Huaiyu has been ill since he made a big fuss before, and was placed under house arrest by his father Liang An. When the Liang Mansion heard the news that King Huainan was going to marry Huaiyu at the end of the year, he was busy for a while.
From lying ill to the end of the month, Liang Huaiyu was like a puppet who had only lost his soul, and asked the slave girl on the side in a daze: "Yunxi, what happened outside?" ”
Yun Xi, a slave girl on the side, replied: "It seems that the king of Huainan was assassinated by gangsters." ”
Liang Huaiyu asked: "Yunxi, has Deng Gongzi been here these days?" ”
Yun Xi replied: "No." ”
Liang Huaiyu asked, "Yunxi, what is the sound outside?" ”
Yun Xi wept and replied, "It seems that the team is coming." ”
Liang Huaiyu was dragged by someone, put on a wedding robe for her, put on a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and was pulled by someone to worship heaven and earth. Her eyes were full of red, until she was thrown onto the bed by the strange Fu Sheng and suffered the pain of being torn, her heart was clear, but she was in a trance, and she didn't understand whether she was dead or alive.
