Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Emperor's Driver (1st Shift)
The report flew into Shengjing like snowflakes, and also fell on the dragon case of the Bianhe Palace.
It is not too late, the palace lamp has been palmed, and the jade hall is thick in autumn. The crane lamp shines on a secret note, and the fingertips of the note are slightly cool, and there is frost and snow.
Quicksand, missing!
The man's gaze fell on the secret music, just looking at these four words, I don't know how long, suddenly turned around, the palace candle was light white, and the clothes were cold.
"Someone!"
The shoulders of the palace people outside the hall trembled, His Majesty was always happy and angry at the end of the month these days, and he was alone in the palace for a long time last month, and Cai'e was almost killed by a rod when he called people into the palace.
The door of the hall creaked open, and Fan Tong entered expressionlessly, holding the dust, and bowing his head silently.
His Majesty is in a bad mood, just listen to it.
"Passing the decree back to the dynasty, the commander of the Northwest Army, Yuan Xiu, is missing, and I want to go to the northwest in person!"
Fan Tong suddenly raised his head, the old eunuch who always pulled a dead face, and there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, I don't know whether he was shocked by the secret music of Yuan Xiu's disappearance, or shocked that the emperor was going to the northwest.
"Spread Li Chaorong!" Bu Xihuan didn't wait for Fan Tong's order, and said.
The astonishment in Fan Tong's eyes was put away, and as soon as he heard the rumor of Li Chaorong, he knew that the holy intention had been decided, and he obeyed the order and went out of the hall.
Li Chaorong is a military general, General Yulin Weihuben, the chief of the imperial guard, born in the Moon Department, was the leader of the Moon Department, and was later placed in the court, worshiped under the Yuan family, and passed the palace news for the Yuan family in the open, and secretly was one of the few henchmen who cherished Huan.
People came to the Qianfang Palace, the door of the palace was closed for an hour, no one knew what Bu Xihuan talked to him in the hall, only an hour later, Fan Tong preached outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Bianzhou Thorn Shi Chen Youliang please see Your Majesty." β
"Biography!"
Fan Tong promised, went down the steps of the palace, went out of the Qianfang Palace, and led Chen Youliang after a while. Chen Youliang respectfully greeted Sheng'an at the foot of the temple steps, and then bowed down and entered the hall.
After entering the inner hall, Chen Youliang asked Sheng Ann again, but after the invitation, he didn't get up, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't go to the northwest!" The land of Jiangbei is full of dangers, and the northwest is thousands of miles away, and His Majesty must not give the thief assassin a chance to take advantage of it! β
On the road to the northwest, along the way through Shangling, Ningyi, Hechuan, and Qingzhou, the generals who defend the city are all Yuan faction!
"How?"
"Majesty!" Chen Youliang didn't get the holy order, so he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's face, so he had to kneel down and admonish, worried, "As expected, the DPRK must have sent troops to the northwest to find the general Yuan Xiu, the northwest army is 300,000, if the generals are filled again, who knows what Yuan Jia'an is thinking, and what is the disappearance of Yuan Xiu?" β
If it is false, if His Majesty goes to the northwest, isn't it just falling into the trap of thieves?
If it is true, Yuan Xiu's life and death are uncertain, the Yuan family's lineage is afraid of being lost, and Shengjing must be crazy over there! His Majesty and the Yuan family have not been on good terms for a long time, how can the Yuan family rest assured that His Majesty will go to the northwest to find someone? They will definitely worry that His Majesty will get in the way, and the DPRK will definitely obstruct His Majesty's trip to the northwest!
Who knows what will happen along the way?
The hall was quite quiet, Chen Youliang knelt on the ground, only to feel that Youdao's gaze fell on his back, listening to the emperor's noble and lazy voice, he asked casually: "Over the years, I have traveled back and forth to Shengjing Bianhe, and I have met assassins on the road every year, so can I see that I can't come?" β
Chen Youliang was slightly stunned.
"Of the things I have done over the years, which one of the things has been obstructed less by the DPRK and China? Can you see that I have succumbed? β
Chen Youliang was speechless for a moment, His Majesty had never been, although the law he practiced was not understood by the people of the world, but it was the most effective.
His Majesty is the grandson of the first emperor, and his father is the sixth son of the first emperor, who was originally the grandson of the emperor, but because of his father's wine, it is difficult to become a great weapon, and he is not liked by the first emperor. When the heir was seized, the six kings had no chance of winning, and the emperor's turn was not to sit on His Majesty, only because of the changes in the court, the dragon veins withered, and His Majesty was young, easy to manipulate, and the Yuan family belonged to His Majesty as the emperor.
The Yuan family is the founder of the country, six hundred years of noble scholars, has produced three queens and five prime ministers, three generations ago intended to go into hiding, children are mostly idle at home, not involved in court politics.
However, when the first emperor, the northwest was in turmoil, the Hu people knocked on the pass, King Rong took the opportunity to rebel, the first emperor three ascended the door of the Yuan Guogong, worshiped the son of the old Guogong Yuan Guangwei, and allowed his daughter Yuan to be a concubine, in one fell swoop to calm the rebellion of the Northwest and King Rong, after which the throne was stable, the Yuan family re-entered the court, the scenery was unparalleled for a while, and the first emperor three ascended the door of the Guogong to seek merit was also rumored to be a good story.
The first emperor had nine sons under his knees, Yuan Guifei had a son for the first emperor, when he was three years old, there was a drought in the north of the Yangtze River, starvation was everywhere, and the people had an epidemic and introduced it into Shengjing. Later, it was introduced into the palace, the little prince was infected with the epidemic and died early, and the palace gate of the Yuan Guifei was sealed due to the epidemic, and she did not come out for three years.
After the first emperor was old, the sons seized the heirs, and the Yuan family had nothing to do with the seizure of the heirs, but during the banquet in the Shangyuan Palace, he rushed into the palace with the soldiers of the subordinate country Nantu, and beheaded the two people in the palace banquet in the name of the three kings and the seven kings, and washed the palace city in blood. That night, the first emperor died, the three kings and the seven kings were killed in the name of killing the king, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and the Yuan family took charge of the government overnight.
When the court and the central government were in his early twenties, he had just been appointed as the magistrate of Yongyi County, Bianzhou. After that, His Majesty was elected as the new emperor by the Yuan family, and at the age of six, he succeeded to the throne.
His majesty's father was mediocre and had no power, and the dignified prince was timid of his relatives and sold his son to survive. The Six Princes Mansion sent the young son into the palace, and never asked again, His Majesty was alone in the palace, fortunately, he was a smart child, and he knew that the Yuan family had already planned to usurp the throne, but he didn't want to risk the disapproval of the world, so that the six-hundred-year-old clan would bear the name of a traitor, so he had been looking for an opportunity. If he shows the posture of a bright monarch, the Yuan family will not allow him to live for a long time, he will show a bit absurd and uninhibited since he was a child, the older he gets, the more dissolute he is, and he shows the ministers and the people of the world in the state of a faint monarch.
This move followed the will of the Yuan family, and also found the opportunity to get out of the Shengjing cage.
In the name of the faint monarch, His Majesty did not follow the will of the Empress Dowager, did not listen to the advice of the courtiers of the Yuan family, refused to accept the palace concubines, recruited male concubines, traveled to the Bianhe River every year, secretly established the Thorn Moon Department, cultivated cronies, and to this day, the layout has gradually become and the wings are gradually full.
In the past 18 years, if one thing had been subservient to the DPRK and China, Jiangnan would not have the situation it has today.
His Majesty lives in the world, has the world in mind, and suddenly decides to drive the northwest tonight because of the secret music, is it really a deep meaning?
"Things in the world are difficult and dangerous, I am never afraid, and I am not afraid." On the throne, the young emperor looked at the worried courtiers, lazy, graceful and quiet.
Chen Youliang forgot his manners in front of the monarch and looked up.
"Prepare for tonight, and tomorrow morning the emperor will drive to the northwest, so that the substitute son can sit on my imperial chariot. Along the way, take the official road and tell the state capital to pick up the car. β
Substitute?
"I will go out of the city with Chaorong tonight and go northwest."
Chen Youliang was shocked, "Your Majesty! β
"I've made up my mind." Bu Xihuan sighed, got up and stepped down the dragon steps, and helped Chen Youliang up, "I told Aiqing about this secret matter because I trusted Aiqing to complete the emperor's driving matter, not because Aiqing persuaded me to abandon the trip to the northwest. β
When Chen Youliang heard this, he was flattered and worried, he looked at Li Chaorong, a military general from the Moon Department, his eyes were like iron, he only stood on the emperor's side and did not speak, and there was no room for discussion about this matter.
Bu Xihuan waved his hand, meaning to let him go and prepare for the drive, Chen Youliang was speechless for a while, so he had to go out of the hall with a complicated heart.
As soon as the door of the palace closed, the grace between the young emperor's eyebrows suddenly dissipated, and he called to the palace door: "Fan Tong! β
Fan Tong pushed the door in and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage and horses are ready, and the clothes are in the carriage." β
Knowing that it was dangerous to go to the northwest, the old eunuch did not persuade him, and put on a dead face as usual.
That night, a carriage went out of the palace gate and went straight to the west gate, and the west gate, which had been closed, opened a crack, and the carriage galloped out of the city, and two people got down from the carriage, untied the horses on the carriage, abandoned the carriage and got on the horses, and headed northwest.
Jiangnan official road, the autumn moon hangs high, the man galloping on the horse looks up at the moonlight, and the hand holding the horse whip holds a snow-white letterhead, the letterhead is wrinkled, but the man is holding it tightly.
The secret report was sent by Wei Zhuozhi, and the secret report that the monthly killing should have not arrived! There are nine dark piles in the Northwest Army, and the monthly secret music is like snow, this time there is only a lack of moon killing, and it is true that she fell into a quicksand pit! The secret recital is 800 miles expedited, and it takes three days to get from the northwest to the Bianhe River, and when he received the secret recital tonight, she had been stuck in a quicksand pit for three days.
Three days ago, he had just received her letter for this month.
That evening, the sunset reflected the windowsill of the Jade Palace, he opened it in front of the window, glanced at it, and smiled.
The letter is written with five words - I am fine, don't read it.
Very good...... It couldn't be better, she dared to write the same letter to him in two months! And is her so-called good to follow Yuan Xiuxue to ride a horse, or to conduct an autopsy in the General's Mansion to investigate the case, or to stay in the General's Mansion for five days?
He originally received this letter, wanting to see if she had the ability to write him a few similar letters, and wanted to save her for the future to settle accounts together, but he received a secret report from the northwest.
The man's hands clenched, the day he received this letter was the day she disappeared in quicksand!
Green......
On both sides of the official road, the dense forest retreated sharply, and the horses' hooves stepped on the dust, startling the night, and galloping all the way.
Quicksand, an ingenious mechanism set up by nature, Twilight never thought she would be lucky enough to meet it.
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
-- The density of quicksand, two grams per milliliter! Human density, one gram per milliliter! According to the density, the human body will not be destroyed when it sinks into the quicksand, but will stop when it sinks to the waist.
-- Don't fight against the shear force of the quicksand, get caught in the quicksand, and the wisest thing to do is not to struggle.
-- If you want to get out of trouble, lie down quickly, reduce the weight on your body, place your hands and feet flat on the sand to increase buoyancy, and if there is no one around, you should crawl out slowly by rolling or lying on the ground with your whole body.
There were people around her, all Di soldiers and horses, many people were struggling, and she forced herself to calm down, intending to lie down and try to get out.
Overhead, Moon Kill and Yuan Xiu flew over, and one of them grabbed one of her hands!
Another thought crossed her mind - researchers calculated that it would take about 100,000 Newtons of force to drag out one of the trapped person's feet at a rate of one centimeter per second, about the same as the force of lifting a medium-sized car. Unless there is a crane to help, it is difficult to pull out the person who has fallen into the quicksand. And according to the calculation of this force, if it is pulled hard, then before the quicksand lets go, the person's body will be torn off by a strong force.
She rarely has black lines, the first time in her life is when she sees Tuesday's identity document, and the second time is at this moment!
shitοΌ
Let go! You two!
She wanted to speak, but there was no time, her self-help method was not used, the moment Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill grabbed her, the situation she imagined did not happen, she did not fall into the quicksand even more, but fell down with Yuan Xiu Yue Kill-
