116 Secret Alliances
In Jiming Temple, Zhu Shouqian was dressed in filial piety clothes, silently looking at the two half-old tablets, which were his father Zhu Wenzheng and his mother Da Xie.
Zhu Shouqian's grandfather Zhu Wende was Zhu Yuanzhang's elder brother, who was posthumously crowned the king of Nanchang, and his son Zhu Wenzheng should inherit the title, but Zhu Wenzheng broke out a rebellion case and was imprisoned in Tongcheng and died in depression, and his wife Da Xie also died with her husband. Under the strong persuasion of Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill his rebellious nephew, but only took away his official position and title, and was buried in Tongcheng as a commoner after his death - even the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family in Fengyang did not have the place of Zhu Wenzheng and his wife.
When Zhu Shouqian grew up, in the name of filial piety, he proposed to move his parents' coffins from Tongcheng to the Imperial Mausoleum of Jiming Mountain in Jinling, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused.
Zhu Wenzheng and his wife only have one son, Zhu Shouqian, who is very loving, and is more pampered than Xu Miaoyi when he was a child, he is really a lawless little bully, causing trouble everywhere, but unfortunately his carefree childhood came to an abrupt end at the age of eight......
"Father, mother, the child has gone to Shaoxing's grandfather's house, the former General's Mansion has become an abandoned ghost house, full of rotten houses and weeds, very desolate. There is a nest of foxes in the ancestral hall of the Xie family, and I heard that the foxes are spiritual creatures, so I didn't drive them away, and left the foxes in the Xie family, so that there was a trace of vitality. ”
Zhu Shouqian muttered: "The five-hundred-year-old locust tree is still there, when I was a child, I naughtily climbed the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and took out a snake from it, which scared my cousin to cry. When my grandfather saw this, he took the two of us and left, and soaked the snails in ghee to coax my cousin not to cry, and not to publicize the matter, so as not to be beaten by you if you found out. ”
Thinking of the past, an innocent smile flashed on Zhu Shouqian's handsome face, "Although my cousin is young, she is very trustworthy, she really didn't say it." Every time I want to eat butter snails, she threatens me with this matter, hehe, at that time she showed her scheming and ability, and the child is ashamed of herself. ”
"Half of my grandfather's case was investigated, and the clues were repeatedly cut off, my cousin was almost buried in the fire and burned to death, and the emperor ordered the child to stop and not be allowed to touch the old case again. The child is useless, he is in the palace, and he lives by relying on people's snorts, so he has to stop and stop. Now only my cousin is still resisting the pressure and insisting on investigating the case, as a man, the child is very guilty. ”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of despair in Zhu Shouqian's eyes, "The child also thought about going out to fight hard to rehabilitate his grandfather, but the big deal is to go underground to reunite with his father and mother, and in life, he can't always live in humiliation." But the child was alone, and even if he risked his life, he couldn't help his cousin. I have a friend who is willing to help me, but he is the son of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it is difficult to protect himself, once the matter is leaked, the child will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling, won't it disgrace the reputation of our Nanchang king? Maybe even his cousin will be affected, so the child can only shrink like he is now, and continue to be a county king who does nothing. ”
"Even ......" Zhu Shouqian's eyes were red, full of sadness, "Even if your father and mother are buried there, you can't make the decision, let you sleep alone in Tongcheng." ”
"My friend said that if you have grievances in your heart, you can use wine to get rid of them; The world is uneven, only with the sword! But if the child has no sword in his hand, why should he swing it? ”
Zhu Shouqian knelt on the futon, tears falling down his face.
There were two dark shadows outside the hall who had been silently observing Zhu Shouqian, they nodded in acquaintance, left quietly, and came to the temple stele forest, a black shadow said: "Now it seems that the time is ripe, it's time to tell King Jingjiang about our plan to form an alliance." ”
The other black shadow nodded, "King Jingjiang is already angry to the extreme, whoever hands him a knife, he will catch it firmly." Once it is done, we will keep our promise and let you go back. ”
The Shadow said, "Everyone works together to get what they need. Now our Northern Yuan Emperor Xuanguang's health is good and bad, but the prince has been detained by Emperor Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and the princes and ministers in the court are eyeing each other, and to stabilize the storage position, the prince must go back as soon as possible. As a prince, even if you reluctantly flee back in embarrassment, it is disgraceful, and you Emperor Ming must send an envoy to the state letter and send it back to the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the name of justice. ”
"If you help our King Jingjiang ascend the throne as soon as possible, we will definitely send the prince's guard of honor to send him off. But—" Another dark shadow said: "I heard the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came to the court this time say that your concubine of Emperor Xuanguang also gave birth to a son. ”
The black shadow snorted coldly: "Our son is born from the queen, that is just a concubine of a cheap life, just a few days after birth, it is unknown whether he will live or not, only the son of the world is the orthodox ...... of the Northern Yuan"
The night is like a huge net, encompassing everything in the world.
Xufu Street, Zhan Yuan, and the martial arts arena have already begun autumn, and it is still hot at noon, but it starts to get cool in the morning and evening.
Xu Miaoyi is fighting with her second brother Xu Zengshou, judging from the scene, it is not so much a trick as a merciless beating by her sister to her brother!
Xu Miaoyi raised her knife and turned around to slash, Xu Zengshou shamelessly rolled on the spot a few times, hiding behind the weapon rack full of knives and guns and shouted: "Enough!" I've all conceded defeat, why are you chasing me! ”
Xu Miaoyi said through the gap between Fang Tianji and □□: "If you are on the battlefield, you can't win against others, admitting defeat is a fart, and people will fight correctly." ”
Xu Zengshou shouted: "I swear that I will never go to the battlefield for half a step in my life, and I won't go to death!" My three-legged cat kung fu, don't call Xu Zengshou when I go to the battlefield, change my name to Xu Zengshou! ”
Xu Miaoyi was amused by the second brother's humor, "Daddy said, Xu Jiaerlang has to go to the battlefield to make meritorious achievements, and you are not allowed to be scum, the next Northern Expedition will definitely pull you to the battlefield to experience, if you don't go, he will tie you up, so I want me to urge you to practice martial arts at home, you have made great progress in the past few months, even Daddy praises you." It doesn't matter if you admit defeat, pick a weapon, and we'll have another game. ”
Xu Zengshou has had a miserable past few months, either studying in Guozijian or playing with his sister at home, in comparison, he would rather go to school, because he will not worry about being beaten up when he reads. And his sister did it when she didn't agree with her, and the swords, guns and sticks were real, murderous, and she didn't let him and accommodate him like other martial artists at all.
Xu Zengshou is worthy of being the son of a famous general, he is extremely talented, and he has made rapid progress under the beating of his sister, but he doesn't hate this kind of good at all
Let's do it!
"Come back!" Xu Zengshou hid behind the weapon rack and wrestled with his sister, "Do you want to beat me to death?" ”
Xu Miaoyi kicked the weapon rack over, Xu Zengshou hurriedly hugged his head and ran away, a row of weapons fell behind him, and one of Fang Tianhalberd almost cut off his heel!
Xu Miaoyi, who was behind her, kicked the spear on the ground in the direction of Xu Zengshou, "Second brother, let's have a round of spears." ”
After being beaten for several months, Xu Zengshou has practiced the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish things, he skillfully dodged and moved away, and with a sharp sound of the spear, he stabbed the target in front of him, and the tail end of the wooden handle was still bouncing, making a buzz.
Obviously, Xu Miaoyi's kick did not spare any strength at all, Xu Zengshou looked at his sister confidently, "I was almost dressed as a sugar gourd, do you know what serious consequences there are?" ”
Xu Miaoyi said lightly: "I know, you will be the only one in the capital who was killed by your sister when she was practicing martial arts." The Xu family, a good-faced family, will definitely help cover up the shameful truth, this time next year, the grass will grow on your grave, and I will still be the eldest lady of the Xu family. Second brother, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there are no brothers and sisters, once you pick up the weapon, it is your life and death. Let's take the spear and play another round. ”
Looking at his murderous sister, Xu Zengshou shook his head again and again, "I won't take it." ”
"Okay." Xu Miaoyi said, "It seems that the second brother feels that he has grown his ability, and he wants to compete with me with his bare hands, and his courage is commendable." ”
Xu Zengshou was so frightened that he hid behind the arrow target again, "Don't fight, say nothing and don't fight!" ”
Xu Miaoyi didn't pay attention to the second brother's wail at all, picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at the target, "Second brother hide, sister's flying arrow will arrive soon." ”
The thin arrow target can't hide the whole body, Xu Zengshou looked at the bowstring in his sister's hand that was getting tighter and tighter, and knew that it must be true again, so he had to sigh and pull out the spear on the arrow target, and dance across his chest so that the water could not be splashed, in case Xu Miaoyi released the arrow.
Xu Zengshou was waiting for him, but Xu Miaoyi put down her bow and arrows and laughed. Xu Zengshou shouted: "Hey, what the hell are you doing? ”
Xu Miaoyi said with a smile: "Fiction is real, reality is fiction, soldiers are not tired of cheating, second brother learn." ”
Xu Zengshou's beautiful apricot eyes turned round with anger, and he shouted angrily: "After the national filial piety period, I will instigate my father and eldest brother to find a family and marry you off quickly!" Save me from being at home all day! ”
Xu Miaoyi's first thought was Zhu Di, the deer in her heart collided, but her face was not obvious, and she sneered at each other: "That's all you have to do, what if you get married?" I see you beat me once and again until you can beat me. ”
Xu Zengshou has never been so desperate.
Xu Miaoyi returned to the boudoir to bathe and change clothes, and the wife of the prince of Wei Guo, Chen, came to talk to her sister-in-law, her face was overbearing, and she withdrew from everyone, and said: "Reasoning, I shouldn't say this, but my mother-in-law left early, your eldest brother didn't return home in the barracks, and the second brother didn't care about the affairs of the family, so I could only say a few words with a black face as a sister-in-law." ”
Chen used to always say something sharp, and used to start with "Some words, I don't know whether to say them or not", so that Xu Miaoyi could understand it herself, and Xu Miaoyi often replied, "It doesn't matter, then sister-in-law thinks that when she talks about it, come to me again." ”
Choked to death in one sentence, after several confrontations with my sister-in-law, knowing that Xu Miaoyi didn't eat this set at all, Chen had to be straightforward and speak straight to the point.
Xu Miaoyi said: "Sister-in-law drinks tea and speaks slowly. ”
Chen took a sip of autumn tea and said, "I heard your eldest brother say that the case of the Xie family has been handed over to the newly established Jinyi Wei for investigation. ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Yes, Mao Xiang is in charge of the command of Jinyiwei." ”
Chen said: "The Xie family is your grandfather's family, and it is appropriate to care about it, but since it is a royal case appointed by the emperor, even the people of the Criminal Department can't touch it, and you, a young lady, shouldn't interfere." ”
Xu Miaoyi said patiently: "This is my private matter, sister-in-law don't worry about it." ”
Chen put the tea bowl aside and said with a cold face: "How can this work?" You are the daughter of the Xu family, you are in the room from your father, everything you do is the consequences of the Xu family for you, if it is a small matter, it is just a small matter, but this is a major incident that violates the dragon scales, the consequences are unimaginable, you must stop. ”
Xu Miaoyi stared at Chen's eyes tightly, "Then the troublesome sister-in-law said to my father and brother, removed me from the Xu family, and completely stayed out of the matter, so I had no worries." ”
Chen was furious, "Y-how can you be so stubborn! Don't listen to advice! ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "I am assisting Jinyiwei in handling the case, as long as the emperor does not explicitly order me to stop, I will never stop." ”
There was no room for negotiation at all, and Chen left angrily. The maid sent a letter, and the payment on it was her sister-in-law Song Xiuer, Xu Miaoyi hurriedly opened the letter, but the font inside was very unfamiliar......
At night, Qinhuai River Restaurant.
“…… The moon stars are scarce, and the red bird flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? ”
The eight thorns I bought were wearing pure white Zhuzi deep clothes, wearing a flowing white turban, a wide robe with long sleeves, a wide plain brocade belt around the waist, a plain folding fan in the right hand, and a glow-in-the-dark cup raised in the left hand was grape wine, fairy wind bones, and was chanting poems to the moon, and outside the window was the sparkling Qinhuai River, a good graceful nobleman.
His grandmother and mother are all beauties from Goryeo, and they are very handsome, and then they are carefully dressed up, they are simply the most beautiful young people in Jinling.
When Xu Miaoyi saw this scene when she entered the house, she almost lost her teeth from the poems she bought, and said sarcastically: "Cao Cao's poems, Liu Chan's life." The son of the world is so Yaxing. ”
The one who bought the eight thorns was Cao Cao's "Long Song Xing", Cao Cao ruled the world, but he was faced with the dilemma of being captured as a proton in the country, which was similar to Liu Chan of Shu who died in the country.
If it were someone else, I would be ashamed to die of shame when I heard Xu Miaoyi's sentence "Cao Cao's poem, Liu Chan's life", but the eight thorns I bought still maintained the graceful posture of the jade tree facing the wind, and said with a smile: "Late at night beauties, I don't want to think about it!" ”
The sentence of not thinking about it is also said by Liu Chan, obviously he pretended to be a letter from Song Xiuer, saying that he had the clues of Xie Zaixing's case in his hand, and asked Xu Miaoyi to wait in the restaurant in the middle of the night, but he turned into Xu Miaoyi to ask him.
The eight thorns I bought made Xu Miaoyi realize what it means to be shameless, and there is no bottom line every time. Xu Miaoyi, like her cousin Zhu Shouqian, was already numb to him, she didn't bother to scold him, and she was not annoyed, so she turned around and left: "If the prince wants to make an appointment with a beautiful woman, Qinhuaihe has a Qinglou Chu Pavilion." ”
The eight thorns who bought it hurriedly stopped the way with a smile, "Don't go, it was just a joke, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's ease the atmosphere first." ”
Xu Miaoyi reminded: "Shizi, the last time we met was the day before yesterday, King Zhou's pharmacy. ”
"That...... I don't see you for a day, like every other autumn. "I bought it and poured wine for Xu Miaoyi," Taste, this is the wine brought by the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty from the desert, sweet and fragrant, and the color is extremely bright, which is completely different from the wine of the Ming Dynasty. ”
When the crown princess is at the funeral, it is common for various countries to send envoys to mourn. Xu Miaoyi smelled the aroma of the wine, "Didn't the messenger propose to take back you, the bane of lighting fires everywhere?" ”
The eight thorns who bought it said with a smile: "I mentioned it, but the emperor said that he was reluctant to leave me to stay in Daming for a few more days." ”
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let go of this big fat easily. Xu Miaoyi went straight to the point, "You said that there was news to tell me, and the mysterious mystery of the gods was not to ask to meet alone in the middle of the night, so what's the matter?" ”
The eight thorns he bought were as careful as a hair, and he had some skills, and the last trip to Shaoxing was that he noticed that something was wrong with Shen Rong, and reminded him in time, so as not to be defeated. So Xu Miaoyi would risk coming out to meet him in the middle of the night.
"Drink this glass of wine and I'll tell you." The eight thorns he bought pushed the luminous cup towards Xu Miaoyi's side.
The red wine shook in the luminous glass, and the aroma became stronger, Xu Miaoyi was unmoved, "So you asked me to accompany the wine tonight?" ”
"I'm afraid of poison, I'll do it first as respect." The eight thorns he bought smiled, took the wine glass and drank it all, and lit up the bottom of the glass. 166 Reading Network
