Chapter 046: Hooked
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the heavy snow has not stopped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The saint was worried about the people, and specially invited the monks of the two major temples in Beijing to open the altar in front of the palace gate.
In the snowflakes flying all over the sky, the presiding abbot of Chongxiao Temple and Fayuan Temple, each led 49 senior monks in the temple, wearing brand-new monk robes, holding prayer beads, chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and calmly walking through the snow-covered Jingzhong Avenue.
Dozens of wooden fish rang out in unison, and the sound of tuk tuk converged and spread far away.
The snow was falling silently, and the helmets and shoulders of the soldiers on both sides of the street were covered with snow, and the armor on their bodies had already formed ice bumps, and a thin layer of ice hung on their eyebrows.
But they still stood motionless, their hands tightly gripping their blades, and their eyes staring at the monk who passed in front of them.
The candle the thickness of the baby's arm was lit, and the light of the candle flame was bright and dark under the impact of snowflakes, and white smoke rose from the white smoke.
The monks of the two monasteries had compassionate faces, chanting with great devotion, and the low chanting sound spread in all directions, adding a bit of peace and tranquility to the increasingly impetuous capital.
The saints and civil and military officials all stood at the gate of the palace city, with solemn expressions, ignoring the heavy snow, and sincerely prayed to the heavens together: Don't fall, don't snow anymore, stop it quickly!
Qi Jinzhi's official position was too small, and he could only drown in the crowd.
He didn't pray along, his eyes looking around from time to time.
As a military general who has been on the battlefield, Qi Jinzhi has a sensitive intuition like a beast.
He found that in this quiet world, there were many hidden people in the corners that no one could see. They barely had a sense of existence, and if it weren't for Qi Jin's heart hiding something and deliberately paying attention to observing, he might not have been able to find out.
In other words, the sage had already prevented the chaos that might occur in Beijing?
Wait, or is this snow disaster incident very likely similar to the rebellion case of King Yan back then?
Everything is just as Master Miao Zhen said to Ah Luo, the saint deliberately found the 'mysterious person' and used the snow disaster as bait in order to lure that person into the bait?
Qi Jinzhi had several guesses in his mind, and he calmly analyzed them one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that Miao Zhen's words were half-true and half-false, and the sage's control over the capital was still very tight.
Qi Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the saint knew it in his heart.
Before, he was willing to cooperate with Master Miaozhen, and his wife worked together to help her 'act', in order to be loyal to the emperor.
Since the ancestor Qi Ziru, their Qi family has only been loyal to the person sitting on the dragon chair.
As for the others, whether it is the prince who has an in-law relationship with his own family, or Master Miaozhen, who is kind to their couple, the Qi family will not support them unconditionally.
If the Qi family finds out that they have any rebellious moves, Qi Jinzhi will personally expose them and do his best to stop them.
"Master, Ah Luo respects you very much and trusts you very much, I hope you will not live up to her heart."
Looking at the solemn prayer scene, Qi Jinzhi's mind had already flown to an unknown distance.
Ahh
Miao Zhen was lying alone in bed, and the bedroom was as luxurious as before, but it was very deserted, and there was no one to serve in front of the bed.
In the huge room, the fire in the copper charcoal basin had long been extinguished, and the cold wind poured in through the cracks in the window, blowing away the last bit of heat in the room.
Miao Zhen was so cold that she sneezed again and again, her nose was red, and she shrank into the quilt with difficulty, greedily absorbing the little warmth.
Legend has it that Liu Chuchu, the righteous daughter who served in front of Miaozhen's bed day and night, was reluctantly following the steward of King An's Mansion to move out of the city at this moment.
"The prince said that you must rush to Jingyue Nunnery before dark, and Miss Liu should go faster, so as not to delay the business."
The steward couldn't see Liu Chuchu's sluggish appearance, and kept urging.
Liu Chuchu pouted, "Didn't the jade pendant be given to you, Miao Zhen said, that jade pendant is equivalent to a military talisman, the people of Jingyue Nunnery only recognize the jade pendant and not the person, you can just take the jade pendant and send people, why drag me on this trip?" ”
While speaking, Liu Chuchu tightened the big fur cloak on his body, and struggled to follow the steward and a few palace guards to move in the snow.
Oh my God, the snow here is so deep, and when you go down, you bury your knees, and it's very difficult to lift the other foot.
Liu Chuchu was born in a small family, but he has not suffered much, and it is the first time that he has hurried under a heavy snowstorm like today.
"......" The steward's eyes flashed with a hint of confidence, but his mouth was still polite, "Having said that, but the jade pendant is a dead object in the end, where can it be compared to you, Miss Liu?" The prince said that Xiao Er, who was left behind in Jingyue Nunnery, was an extremely powerful character, and he would be able to see through it if he made a slight mistake. For the sake of the master's great cause, I will work hard for Miss Liu to go today. ”
Liu Chuchu pouted, still unwilling.
The steward patiently persuaded again: "Miss Liu is so helpful, my family and the sons of my family have all seen it." When it is done in the future, I will never wronged you. The promise I made to you that day will be fulfilled. ”
Liu Chuchu's eyes lit up, "The prince hasn't forgotten this?" ”
The steward said with a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten." My family is the most trustworthy person. As long as Miss Liu helps with all her might, the prince will not treat you badly. ”
After thinking about it, the steward added: "So, you just wait for Qi Gu's 'death' in a down-to-earth manner, and then marry the uncle of the Qi family in a beautiful manner." "As long as the Qi family has not been confiscated at that time and Qi Boyan has not died, you can just get married!
Liu Chuchu raised his eyebrows with joy, his cheeks were crimson, and his eyes flashed with a vision for a better future.
With expectations, Liu Chuchu couldn't help but be full of energy, no longer complaining, no longer procrastinating, and striding forward.
The group gradually disappeared into the white world, leaving behind a series of deep footprints.
Ahh
Miao Zhen sneezed again, and a figure suddenly flashed into the empty room.
"Damn, how dare they despise their masters like this?" The figure couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"Ah, Ah sneeze~ Okay, Xiao Da, don't be angry about useless people and things,"
Miao Zhen's voice was weak, but there was still majesty in her tone, "The fish has taken the bait?" ”
Xiao Da took out a brocade quilt from the kang cabinet, carefully covered Miaozhen, then knelt in front of the bed, and whispered back: "Liu Chuchu has taken them out of the city." Master, how can you be sure that the Liu family has taken refuge in the eldest prince? Aren't they saints? ”
Otherwise, Liu Juma would not have had the audacity to take away the young master, and now the sage will not summon the Liu family back to Beijing.
Miao Zhen sneered, "The easiest thing in the world to change is the human heart. At that time, the Liu family was loyal, and he would rather offend me than complete Xiao Ye's order, Xiao Ye killed the slut surnamed Liu in order to appease my anger, and exiled the Liu family. The Liu family was used to being pampered, but they were thrown to the northwest by the saint to eat the sand for nearly twenty years. Hmph, no matter how much Akagi's heart is, it will be eroded by reality. The Liu family has enjoyed glory and has been in contact with the top world of Daqi, but they fell from heaven to hell overnight, and the thousands of miles of exile from the capital to the northwest made them more deeply appreciate the benefits of power. ”
Why did the sage give up the Liu family in the first place, wasn't it because Miaozhen was powerful?
Chang Miao is really Master Liu, and he will also be cold to Xiao Ye, and turn to a new master......
