The emperor took his ministers to the south of the Yangtze River, and Bu Qin didn't have to go to the court every day, so he read books at home, accompanied his son, occasionally took Xiao An out to play, and occasionally the father and son followed Xi Yunzhi to the store for a day.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, on the third day of the emperor's departure from Beijing, King Jing held a banquet in the mansion and invited the officials who stayed in Beijing to bring their families to the mansion for a gathering.

King Jing's mansion is brightly lit, the male guest seats are in the east chamber, which is personally received and presided over by King Jing, while the female guest seats are in the west chamber, which are received by Princess Jing and King Jing's two side concubines.

Xi Yunzhi and Bu Tan walked in hand in hand, and many officials who knew Bu Qin came to greet him one after another, Bu Qin nodded his head to greet him, Xi Yunzhi was wearing a decent skirt, and there were not too many decorations on his body, but a cat's eye bead chain slanted down the front from the neckline, forming a perfect arc, setting off her original somewhat stereotyped clothing with agility and grace, and a snow jade bracelet was hidden on her wrist, white as snow, flawless, and she knew that it was the best product at a glance, except for these two, Xi Yunzhi had no other accessories, although simple, But the momentum of the housewife has not diminished in the slightest.

After the two walked hand in hand for a while, they were invited to both sides, Bu Qin turned around, and pulled her back, and gently pinched the fallen leaves between her temples, Xi Yunzhi smiled at him, Bu Qin patted her cheek twice dotingly, and then turned around and went to the men's seat in the East Chamber.

Xi Yunzhi was invited into the West Chamber, and was led by the special leading servants of the Jingwang Mansion to walk on the nine-curved corridor with carved beams and paintings, and the banquet of the female guests was arranged on a water surface surrounded by water on all sides.

Princess Jing dressed up, like a noble butterfly being set off by two equally beautiful side concubines walking around to greet each other, seeing Xi Yunzhi coming up the three stairs of the corridor, Princess Jing walked over with her chest held high and lifted her chin.

Xi Yunzhi smiled lightly, and blessed his body first: "See Princess Jing, see the two side princesses." ”

Princess Jing raised her hand to let her get up, since Xi Yunzhi took the initiative to 'surrender', Princess Jing looked like a deep sisterhood to her, walked over in person, took Xi Yunzhi's hand, led her to the seat, and said with a smile:

"Mrs. Bu is bright and beautiful today, which is very different from the usual plain and elegant, but it makes others think that General Bu has changed his mother."

Xi Yunzhi knew that she wanted to mock her again by giving her the dancing girl last time, but she didn't want to fight with Princess Jing for this matter today, so she just didn't hear the meaning, and said with a smile: "Princess Xie Jing praises her." ”

Princess Jing only felt that she had punched the cotton, and she was very weak, and remembered the purpose of King Jing's banquet today, and after snorting coldly at Xi Yunzhi, she turned around to entertain the other ladies.

After a banquet, Xi Yunzhi ate a lot, because she was low-key and didn't talk much, someone came up to talk, she just opened her mouth to say a few words, no one came to her, she was happy to watch the scenery and eat alone.

When the time was approaching, Xi Yunzhi saw that some ladies had already offered to say goodbye, so Xi Yunzhi also followed behind them, saluted Princess Jing together, and then went out together.

Originally, she thought that if her husband hadn't finished eating, she would wait for him in the carriage first, who knows, when she walked into the carriage, Bu Qin looked like she had been waiting for a long time, half-lying on the cushion, drinking tea and reading a book. It turned out that at the beginning of the banquet, he came out decisively.

The purpose of Jing Wang's banquet for the ministers is already very clear, that is, to attract more people to stand on his side during the emperor's time out of Beijing, which is equivalent to openly confronting the prince, and several ministers who are unwilling to be with King Jing have also followed behind Bu Qin and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Isn't King Jing's move clearly singing against the prince? Isn't he afraid of the prince's counterattack? ”

On the way home, Xi Yunzhi was rarely interested, and talked to Bu Tan about these politics, not for anything else, she just wanted to know what the prince thought, after all, Zhang Yan was so close to him.

Bu Qin clasped his hands to his chest, his eyebrows frowning: "The prince has not been to the court for a long time, and King Jing has just moved his mind." ”

After Xi Yunzhi heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then told Bu Tan about Zhang Yan and the prince, Bu Tan was only stunned after hearing this, and Xi Yunzhi continued:

"According to Zhang Yan, the prince has a deep love for her, and he has been hiding with her in Yanzi Hutong these days."

Bu Qin frowned: "I have heard about Zhang Yan a long time ago." When the prince was young, it was indeed rumored that he had an affair with a beautiful woman in the emperor, but because there was no response from the emperor and the prince back then, not too many people knew about it...... There is something we don't know. ”

Xi Yunzhi saw that Bu Qin was deep in thought, so he stopped talking and returned to the house, Bu Qin did not go back to the room directly, but hurriedly went to the study, and after writing a lot of lists, he took Zhao Yi and Han Feng and hurriedly went out.

At night in the capital, torrential rain fell suddenly, and it rumbled all night.

Xiao An was afraid of thunder, so he had to sleep with Xi Yunzhi, after Xi Yunzhi tricked him into falling asleep, he pushed open the south window and looked, how many flowers had withered when the rain hit the leaves, such a ferocity, such a powerless counterattack, it seemed that it was demonstrating the upcoming bloody upheaval in advance.

***

Bu Qin didn't go home for several days, but just asked Zhao Yi to come back and spread the word that something big had happened in the city recently, so she was careful and transferred all the people from Lanfuyuan back to the general's mansion to guard.

The big things that happened in the city, let alone Xi Yunzhi, even the ordinary people knew what earth-shattering things happened in the city.

More than 30 ministers were almost wiped out overnight.

The murderer's methods were extremely cruel, even the elderly and children did not let go, but fortunately, on the night of the massacre, a mysterious black-clothed guest appeared, fought with the murderer, and each family saved some people.

Five days later, Bu Qin returned to the general's mansion covered in blood.

Xi Yunzhi immediately called someone to bring hot water, filled the bath bucket with hot water, and waited for Bu Qin to clean it. Bu Qin lay in the bathtub, sighed loudly, and said to Xi Yunzhi:

"If you can see Zhang Yan recently, let her leave the capital quickly, and don't go to Xiao to think about anything else."

Xi Yunzhi was wiping his back, and after listening to his words, he was silent for a while before he asked:

"Recently, the ministers in the city were killed, was it all done by the prince?"

Bu Qin closed his eyes and nodded, Xi Yunzhi also sighed, and asked again: "Have you saved all those adults' families?" ”

Bu Qin shook his head again, his voice was slightly tired: "If you don't save them all, now the troops I can mobilize in my hands are only a few hundred, and it is impossible to save all the thirty adults, so they can only leave a root, so as not to cut off their children and grandchildren." ”

......After hearing this, Xi Yunzhi felt extremely uncomfortable, but he also understood that his husband had done his best to do what he felt he should do at the best opportunity.

And the murderer of this massacre is already clearly about to come out.

The prince used a long time not to go to court to paralyze King Jing's henchmen, so that King Jing thought that he was just a prince who was lazy in beauty and greedy for pleasure, and that King Jing's inch was the fuse for him to step into the grave.

The killings were all the ministers who had just been wooed by King Jing, and this move was enough to deter the ministers who were still under King Jing's command, or who were ready to take refuge under King Jing's command, so that they could all put themselves in danger and see clearly where they would stand in the future.

King Jing was defeated, but there is no evidence to accuse the prince of this massacre, because everyone knows that the prince has been delayed in government for a long time, and he Jing Wang is the person who has been very close to the courtiers recently, even if the emperor comes back to ask, the prince can also say that it was done by King Jing, because after all, the incident happened the day after King Jing's banquet, and the prince will say that these courtiers are dissatisfied with King Jing's behavior of wooing, and they were killed by King Jing. On the king's side, there is no proof of death, and there is no defense.

The battle between King Jing and the prince was defeated by arrogance and lightheartedness, and the prince held back, in order to hit with one blow, so that King Jing had no chance to turn over.

This trick of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches is behind, and the prince uses perfect fire.

***

The crown prince did not kill King Jing on the spot, but put King Jing's family under house arrest, in the name of waiting for the emperor to come back and make a decision, in fact, he also kept himself out of the matter as much as possible.

Xi Yunzhi was worried about Zhang Yan's safety, so he asked Xiao Hei and them to spy on Yanzi Hutong overnight, and they came back in the middle of the night and brought back a dying dilapidated body.

Zhang Yan's face was covered with blood and flesh, and she fell in a pool of blood, covering the fatal wound on her stomach, her eyes were empty and terrifying.

"Madam, the guards in Yanzi Hutong have already been withdrawn, and when her subordinates went, she fell alone in a pool of blood."

Xiao Hei and the others also told Xi Yunzhi about the situation at that time with a little regret.

Xi Yunzhi bent □ and helped Zhang Yan up, watching her shed tears of remorse, her terrifying face trembled slightly, and her blood-stained lips seemed to say something, but she couldn't make a sound.

Xi Yunzhi brought back two baskets of ginseng from her pharmacy, fried Zhang Yan every day, and tried her best to pull her back from the ghost gate.

Later, Xi Yunzhi asked her if the person who did it was the prince, but she shook her head unexpectedly and said that it was not the prince, but the princess.

The prince sold her to the princess to relieve her hatred, and after the princess broke into Yanzi Hutong, without saying a word, she asked someone to beat Zhang Yan severely, and also asked someone to cut Zhang Yan's face with a hairpin, and finally the princess personally inserted and stabbed her in the abdomen...... During the whole process, the crown prince Xiao Nan watched from the side, ignoring Zhang Yan's painful wails and pleas for help, as if the person who was being executed by the crown princess was just a person who had nothing to do with him.

No one expected such a result.

In mid-April, the chaotic capital finally waited for the return of the holy car.

But what everyone was waiting for was not a living person, but a heavy coffin - the emperor died.

It was not someone else who came back with the emperor's coffin, it was Xiao Luo, the king of Ji, who was exiled to the northwest by the emperor last year.

King Ji said that the emperor encountered assassins on the way down to the south of the Yangtze River, he learned that he rushed to the rescue, but still could not avoid the emperor was hit hard, he tried his best to serve on the side for many days, the emperor was grateful for his filial piety, knowing that his life was approaching, he wrote an edict under the witness of hundreds of civil and military officials, and passed the throne to Xiao Luo, the thirteenth prince.

The sky in the capital has completely changed this time, from the previous light rain to the current crazy storm.

The prince was stunned, King Jing was stupid, the two of them fought to the death in Beijing, and in the end they all lost in an edict that I didn't know whether it was true or false.

The author has something to say: the sky has changed. King Ji is killed Cheng Biting Jin, it is really not as good as heaven. Hehe, please like
