Chapter 127: Be Prepared

"Slaves and maids don't dare to deceive high-ranking officials."

In a small tea room, Chun Ling walked in, knelt on the ground, and said to the high-ranking officials who also sat down in front of him.

"Have you ever seen her lead lightning to kill grass men?" Gao Xiaoguan pouted and asked.

"No, it's not." Chun Ling hurriedly raised his head, and his voice changed, "High-ranking official, listen to my accent." ”

Accent?

The senior official was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned.

"Jiangzhou!" He said.

Chun Ling nodded, and continued to respond with a Jiangzhou accent.

So, a little girl next to an official prostitute in the capital, where did she come from to see that Cheng Niangzi leading thunder and killing people.

"Could it be that she killed people in Jiangzhou?" Gao Xiaoguan asked, a little surprised.

This little lady is only eighteen or nineteen years old now, and she has already killed people a few years ago.

"Yes." Chun Ling nodded, and changed back to the accent in Beijing for fear that this high-ranking official would not understand, "The slave maid was originally the little maid in the Taoist temple of the Cheng family in Jiangzhou, and later Cheng Niangzi was sent by her family, and the Taoist temple did not know what the dispute was, and then one rainy night, she and her maidservant led the thunder to chop the master to death, and also sent our sister to a Taoist temple far away to extinguish the mouth, the loss is that my sister and I escaped, but unfortunately, my sister died in the broken temple on the road. ”

Speaking of this, Chun Ling hid his face and wept.

I see, the senior official stretched out his hand and knocked on a few cases thoughtfully.

"I see." He said slowly, squinting at the little maid, "However, even if you have a human ID, it won't work." ”

Chun Ling seemed to be surprised, and raised her head a little apprehensive and a little indignant.

"Officials, can't even be officials? The slave has never dared to tell anyone. Trembling alive. I'm scared every day. Now that she has harmed King Ping again, the slave and maid are really scared to death, and they dare not sue, so today they risked their lives to ask to see the little official..."She cried with tears, "Can't the little official take her?" ”

"No, I can't." The senior official said, "It's a matter that has been decided, and I can't take it out anymore." It's all about it. ”

"What the slave and maid can prove, the slave and the maid are willing to testify." Chun Ling's eyes widened and he said seriously.

"You alone can't prove the world." Gao Xiaoguan said.

Chun Ling was depressed, sat back in despair, hid his face and cried.

"It's hard to hide for you for so long." Gao Xiaoguan said suddenly, "What happened last time was actually designed by you, right?" ”

Chun Ling shuddered, her cry waned, and then raised her head.

"Petty officials spare their lives, petty officials spare their lives. Slave is, yesβ€”" she prostrated and said.

"You think I'm amazing. Can you deal with this Cheng Niangzi, right? Gao Xiaoguan asked.

Chun Ling leaned over, trembling and crying, not daring to speak.

"But this matter, you look down on me, I can't help now, I'm going to be driven out of the capital by this Cheng Niangzi." The senior official stretched out his arms, stood up and said.

Chun Ling hurriedly knelt down in front of him, and grabbed the corner of the clothes of the high-ranking official with the audacity.

"Ask the petty officials to save the slaves and maids." She said with tears in her eyes.

Gao Xiaoguan laughed and reached out to pinch Chunling's little chin.

"Okay, take you with me before I go, and we'll run for our lives together." He laughed, shaking off with his feet raised.

"Little official, this little slut is a thief, and the thunder guide certificate is useless, so let her go?" Qin Sui couldn't help but ask in a low voice, while looking back at the tea room.

Gao Xiaoguan smiled.

"When I saw her, it wasn't because of some kind of thunder murder as evidence." He smiled, "This good thief's little slut has placed me and that Cheng slut together, it's hard to guarantee that I can't put a second way, it's always useful to keep it." ”

And in the tea room, Chun Ling also sat up, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and shook his hand to fan the wind with a little ease.

When she saw him, it was not to testify against Lei Yin, but just to let this high-ranking official know that with a person like her, there will always be a time when she can be used.

Now, there is no need to be afraid that the Gao family and the Cheng lady will turn into a war and shake hands with the jade silk and dispose of her as a scapegoat.

At the same time, in the Empress Dowager's palace, Gao Lingbo was resigning from the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother naturally wept.

"In order not to fall aside, what if the minister and Niangniang don't meet again." Gao Lingbo said, "If the mother doesn't see the Gao family, the queen naturally can't see the Song family, and the mother can still get a virtuous reputation, which is really a double win." ”

"This virtuous name is really infuriating." The Queen Mother wiped away tears and said.

"Niangniang knows what His Majesty has suffered." Gao Lingbo smiled and ate a glass of wine.

Today I came to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave a banquet, and the courtiers had nothing to stop.

The Queen Mother sighed, and when she thought of the emperor, her face was suddenly full of sadness.

"If King Qing is really handed over to the courtiers, the mourning family is not at ease." She said.

Gao Lingbo put down the wine bowl.

"There are Chen Shao in the court, and there are also ministers, but no one dares to have a bad heart for King Qing." He said, pausing, "If you want to say that you are not at ease, there is one person who should not be at ease." ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly sat up straight.

"Who?" She asked.

"King of Jin'an." Gao Lingbo said.

"He won't." The Queen Mother hurriedly shook her head, "That thing was all done by the queen, Wei Lang he won't, he can't wait to dig out his heart and lungs to King Qing, where would there be such a rebellious mind." ”

"Mother, everyone will change." Gao Lingbo said, looking at the Queen Mother, "Niangniang, you have been to the court three times, and the government affairs of these days have also been sent to you, do you think... What do you think? ”

The Queen Mother was stunned.

"How can it be? It's not uncomfortable at all, it's annoying and tiring. She said.

"But that's a good feeling of being in control of the world, right?" Gao Lingbo asked with a smile.

The Queen Mother's expression changed for a moment.

"That's just what you men think." She said, "What a good! ”

Gao Lingbo smiled.

"Niangniang, the king of Jin'an County, is a man." He said, "He was once entrusted with a heavy task, and he once dealt with court affairs with the Peace King...."

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered.

"If there was King Ping in the past, he wouldn't have any thoughts. But now it's different. The queen proposed a succession. Moreover, there were even supportive remarks among the Shilin courtiers. Gao Lingbo said, looking at the Queen Mother, "Niangniang, the prince has always been chaotic and plotting things, and there have always been a lot of them." ”

The Queen Mother groaned and stopped talking.

Gao Lingbo stopped talking, took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and pushed it over.

When the Queen Mother saw it, her body shook and shrank back like a fire.

"You. What are you doing! She exclaimed, a little frightened and panicked.

Gao Lingbo looked at her with a heavy expression, but the hand pushing the paper bag did not retract.

"Niangniang, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it." He said, "As the mother gets older, the stronger the county king becomes, and he has to guard against it." ”

…………………………………………

When Gao Lingbo returned home, Gao Xiaoguan greeted him with a little nervousness.

"Father?" He asked apprehensively.

Gao Lingbo nodded.

"Are you all packed?" He asked with some ease, "Your mother, they go first." ”

Gao Xiaoguan happily responded, and followed Gao Lingbo into the study.

The guests in the study have been waiting for a long time.

"The Queen Mother knows what it means to put the overall situation first. also knows who her relatives are. Gao Lingbo said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and a little joy.

"And it's the best time." A scavenger said. "There are scholars and courtiers over there who jointly wrote to ask the king of Jin'an to go out and seal it, and the queen mother here summoned the king of Jin'an to persuade him, and then the king of Jin'an returned to the palace and committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine."

"What an upright and noble King Yanyi." Another Qingke sighed. [Note 1]

The crowd then looked at each other and laughed.

"When the time comes, we must unite with the courtiers to give the king of Jin'an a good posthumous title."

"If you are crowned a king, you must be crowned a king."

"There is a precedent for the king of Jin'an County to sacrifice himself to prove his innocence, and see which clan dares to move his mind that should not be moved."

"When Zhang Jiangzhou mentions the succession clan again, the first one to fight with him is the clan, and he is forcing the clan to have no way out."

The room was full of jokes and jokes, and the atmosphere was a rare light-hearted atmosphere since this period.

"Wait." The senior official suddenly stopped laughing, thought of something and said, "Father, this matter is uncertain." ”

Everyone stopped laughing and looked at the senior officials.

"Petty officials can rest assured, it is a foolproof medicine." A scavenger said.

"Even if the Queen Mother hesitates, the people in the Queen Mother's palace will also explain it." Another clearer said.

The senior official waved his hand and shook his head.

"No, no, it's not this." He said, looking at Gao Lingbo, "Father, have you forgotten that there are people who can come back to life now. ”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

That Cheng Niang! But everyone shook their heads again.

"She doesn't have such magical skills, they are all passed on by ordinary people, as far as we can see so far, whether it is to lead thunder or cure diseases, it is not so easy to come by." A scavenger said.

Gao Lingbo raised his hand to stop them.

"That's right, think about things well, don't leave anything to chance." "We've suffered too much of a fluke," he said. ”

"Then, kill this woman first." Gao Xiaoguan said, with an indignant face, "I should have killed her a long time ago, and I shouldn't have hesitated when I was in Desheng Tower." ”

Gao Lingbo shook his head.

"This woman is not without people, and she has always been cautious, and the spies say that she hardly goes out, and even when she goes out, it is difficult to recognize her." He said, "What's more, she can create things such as divine arms, bows, stone bullets, etc., who knows what other powerful weapons for self-defense, directly do it, and startle the snake, the impact is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Everyone present nodded.

"How's that good?" Someone asked.

"Our purpose is to let her not diagnose and treat the king of Jin'an County, so don't think about anything else, don't think about taking her life by the way, just do the purpose of preventing her from diagnosing the disease." Gao Lingbo said, with a hint of a smile, "If you think about it like this, this matter will be much easier, and it can also add a destiny to the death of the king of Jin'an." ”

Everyone was puzzled.

"Not only will we not kill her, but we also want her to say it herself, not to govern the king of Jin'an." Gao Lingbo said with a smile.

Say it in person?

"This woman is teaming up with Queen Zhang Jiangzhou to push the king of Jin'an County to the throne, how can she be willing to watch the king of Jin'an die without her eyes?" Gao Xiaoguan's eyes widened and asked, "This is impossible." ”

Gao Lingbo laughed.

"Impossible? There is nothing impossible in this world, but it is just a trade-off. ”

Note 1: Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was the king of Yanyi. After the death of Song Taizu, his younger brother Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Dezhao lost the opportunity to be the son of heaven, and Taizong named Dezhao as the king of Wugong County, and he was above the prime minister during the court meeting.

When Taizong personally conquered Taiyuan in the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, an occasional incident disturbed the military camp overnight, and the sergeants looked for Taizong everywhere but did not know his trace, and legend has it that someone proposed to establish virtue as the emperor. After returning to Beijing, the emperor did not reward the heroes of the Battle of Taiyuan for a long time because of the unfavorable Northern Expedition. Dezhao discussed this matter with Song Taizong, and Song Taizong was furious and said: "When you become the emperor yourself, it is not too late to reward." Zhao Dezhao killed himself after retreating from the court.

Song Taizong was very remorseful when he heard this, ran to hug Zhao Dezhao's body, and cried and said, "Why should the idiot do this? "Posthumously presented Zhao Dezhao as the Zhongshu Order, posthumously named the King of Wei, given the nickname, and later changed the title to the King of Wu, and then changed the title to the King of Yue.
