Chapter 321: Bait (Double Shift Seeking Pink)
The capital was in a mess because Emperor Qianyuan did not know his life and death, and the Qinwang army who arrived at Qishan could not find Emperor Qianyuan at all in Qishan, which was bombed into ruins.
After the Empress Dowager received the report to speed up the delivery to the capital, she directly judged that Emperor Qianyuan was assassinated and seriously ill, and first ordered to surround the mansion of Wang Yixin, the secretary of Shangshu, and then ordered the Jinyi guards who stayed in the capital to command Suo Nawang Yixin to be put in prison, and Jiang Dayong, the Duke of Xining, was also imprisoned for complicity, and almost all of the Jiang family were arrested and put in prison.
After the Wang family learned that Wang Yixin was implicated in the case of rebellion, they took the initiative to sever their relationship with Wang Yixin in the outer room.
Although it is possible to rebel against the nine clans, under normal circumstances, at most three clans, and all of them are under investigation, Wang Yixin did not admit his guilt, and insisted that the anti-poems presented by the Queen Mother were framed by someone, and the poems that were sentenced to anti-poems were not to death.
Emperor Qianyuan left three princes to supervise the country, even if Emperor Qianyuan died of illness and the queen mother chose the master, she had to discuss with the three princes of the prison country, the cabinet and other courtiers were still there, and the queen mother could not cross the cabinet and the prince of the prison country for a while to sanction Wang Yixin.
Now the biggest dispute in the capital of the country is who will be the next emperor if Emperor Qianyuan dies of illness.
The queen mother took out the first emperor's 'will' and questioned Emperor Qianyuan's qualifications to inherit the unification, although it was not clear that the first emperor wanted the son of the former imperial concubine to inherit the throne, but the words did not mention how much the first emperor favored the imperial concubine and his son.
The two princes who were raised by Emperor Qianyuan as pigs did not dare to compete for the throne at this time, it should be said that they have been so 'tortured' by Emperor Qianyuan that they don't even dare to have a sense of revenge, even if there is a hint from the Queen Mother. Express. They said in public that the first emperor had always only favored Emperor Qianyuan. The throne was avoided by the two of them.
The Queen Mother thought that they could help her, but who knows...... They are so timid.
In addition to scolding two stupid pigs behind her back, there is no better way, they do not agree with the queen mother, the queen mother's last emperor will not shake the courtiers' insistence on the orthodoxy of Emperor Qianyuan, even if the blood of Empress Taizu Gao is not pure, there is Hu blood, and the courtiers also follow the ancestral system of the eldest son inheriting the throne.
The princes of Emperor Qianyuan were not given for nothing. Regardless of how they fought with each other and how they fought among themselves before, at the critical time when the Queen Mother obviously wanted to set up another emperor, the princes worked together surprisingly, led by the three princes of the prison country, and twisted into a rope to resist the Queen Mother.
For a while, the Queen Mother and them were on equal footing.
Empress Gu had long been trapped in her bedroom by the Queen Mother and could not go out. The Queen Mother also ordered Jinyi Wei to monitor the Dingguo Mansion and edict the world. Gu Tianze and his wife were resentful, and the two of them were the culprits who caused Emperor Qianyuan to disappear and be in danger.
The Queen Mother even concocted a series of 'evidence'. How ambitious Gu Tianze, who was favored by the emperor, wanted to replace Emperor Qianyuan, how cunning Wang Zhiyao was and poisoned Emperor Qianyuan, and the accomplices were Jiang Dayong and Wang Yixin, who was imprisoned in the prison and tortured.
Jin Yiwei tried his best to force Wang Yixin to speak, as long as Wang Yixin corrected Gu Tianze, the Queen Mother would punish him lightly, after all, anti-poetry could not kill Wang Yixin. But Wang Yixin always refused to confess, and the Queen Mother could not get the 'criminal evidence' of Gu Tianze's plot against the king.
Therefore, Dingguogong's family was saved, although under surveillance, Dingguogong and others were not imprisoned in the prison.
"Why are you doing this?" Wang Duanhan stood outside the cell, he was ordered by the Queen Mother to persuade Wang Yixin to correct Gu Tianze, "In your eyes, only Wang Zhiyao is right?" She's more important than your life? The world has changed, those who know the times are Junjie, that is, you testify against Gu Tianze, do you still think they can live? Majesty XiΓ has gone...... Even if the prince is elected to the throne, the status of the queen mother will not be affected in any way. My little sister tried her best to intercede for you, did you let me and my little sister live up to my heart for the sake of the dead? β
"You always think about Wang Zhiyao, but you don't think about us? Dad, we need you! β
Wang Duanhan persuaded with affection, "My little sister and I will be filial to you, as long as the fourth prince becomes the emperor, the little sister is a concubine, and it is not impossible for the little sister to be promoted to the imperial concubine in the future, the queen, as long as you open your mouth to tell the truth, you will suffer less, do you still understand that you have fallen to this day because Wang Zhiyao has harmed you?" If she is filial to you, how can she leave you in the capital? Didn't you see her sending her mother away? β
The conditions in the prison were very poor, and the cell where Wang Yixin was held was the worst.
Wang Yixin did not have a good place on his body, Jinyiwei's torture could not kill him, but it made him suffer in hell, living to suffer, most of his fingernails were torn off, and he was bloody...... Lying on the hay, Wang Yixin seemed to have only a layer of skin and flesh left.
It wasn't that Lu Yanxun quietly drugged him and tried his best to take care of Wang Yixin within his ability, Wang Yixin was afraid that he would have returned to the West long ago.
ββ¦β¦ Who asked you to come? β
Spread out without light, his split hair covered his body, his voice was hoarse, and his handsome face was bloodstained, "It's Wang Zhixuan?" β
"Dad, don't be stupid anymore, who will help you but us? Do you know that even Dingguo Gong is noncommittal about Gu Tianze's retrograde assassination, that is Gu Tianze's father, he doesn't believe Gu Tianze, why do you sacrifice yourself and the Wang family because of Wang Qi? Do you want the entire Wang family to be killed? β
Wang Duanhan knelt outside the cell, "When I beg you, think about it for us." β
"Aze and Yao'er will not plot to kill His Majesty, everyone in the world will betray His Majesty, and Aze will not be disloyal to His Majesty!"
"Daddy......"
"Dingguo Gong didn't speak for Aze because he was worried about the Gu family." Although Wang Yixin is a wolf bΓ¨i, with wounds all over his body, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have nothing to worry about, the Wang family has long regarded me as an outsider, a dead person, I am not afraid!" If I can do something for Yao'er, I would like to be enough. β
"You're confused!"
"No, I'm not confused, I've never lived so clearly, Yao'er, I haven't been able to live with her, if I have a clear conscience at this time and bear the humiliation and secretly testify against them, I am not worthy of being her father, what does the family cause have to do with me? I'm just a father, a father who loves to believe in his daughter and son-in-law! β
Xu spoke too hard and touched the wound. Wang Yixin's voice became deeper and deeper. The body trembled involuntarily because of the pain of the wound. "If they live, I still have hope of getting out alive, and if they unfortunately go with His Majesty, what is the point of me living?"
"Brother Han, you don't understand, you've never understood me."
So in his previous life, he would have a big quarrel with Wang Duanhan in front of Wang Zhiyao's tomb.
"You live for her?" Wang Duanhan was shocked, "Unreasonable, unreasonable." β
"Nothing is unreasonable. When I was beaten to death by your grandfather, I understood one thing, God brought me back to life, let me ...... returned to the shell, just to compensate for their mother and son. β
Wang Yixin closed his eyes in pain and whispered: "Actually, I have fallen to this day, and the person who should be blamed the most is not Yao'er, but Wang Zhixuan!" Brother Han, listen to my advice, don't go near her. She can sacrifice anything for herself, and you will be ruined by him. β
Those troublesome anti-poems. Except for Wang Zhixuan, no one knows, and only Wang Zhixuan will give the poems to the Queen Mother.
If it weren't for the anti-poetry, he would have been at the court at this time...... Help Emperor Qianyuan and Aze stabilize the situation, and the people who disappeared with Emperor Qianyuan are all rebellious ministers and thieves?
Where is the truth?
For Wang Zhixuan, he was completely dead, and he was hurt by betrayal again and again, and his heart was broken.
"My whole body hurts, it hurts, I have never been tortured like this, no one believes that I can hold on to the ...... until now" Wang Yixin hooked the corners of his mouth, and his deep eyes flashed a little pride, "Wang Zhixuan once made a poem, she is not afraid of broken bones, she wants to leave her innocence in the world!" I thought this one was superb. β
Not only for Wang Zhiyao, but also for his confidant Emperor Qianyuan, and even more for Emperor Qianyuan's kindness to himself.
"Aren't you afraid of being punished? Dad, you won't be able to hold on for long. Now that the prince is vying for the throne, there is no time to pay attention to you, once the new monarch ascends the throne, you will be executed. If you don't take advantage of this time to make meritorious contributions, what are you waiting for? β
"I'm not guilty, and Aze is not guilty! Even if His Majesty is killed, Aze is also the one who desperately protects His Majesty! He is not a rebel, Wang Duanhan, you don't have to say it. β
Wang Yixin slowly closed his eyes and said tiredly: "You can let the Wang family expel me from the clan, and let the Wang family falsely accuse me, I don't care about it!" I used to ...... I was discussed, insulted and spoiled concubines and killed wives, the women of the Wang family could not marry, the men could not marry their daughters-in-law, and the blame for the desperation of the Wang family was put on my head...... At that time, I had a very hard time, and I was scolded everywhere I went, and now although I am in a cage and tortured to extract a confession, the obsession in my heart has never wavered, and it is more ...... than in my previous life. Even if I can't survive a qiΔ death, I have no regrets. β
"Although His Majesty is willful and domineering, he is a Ming Jun, and there is nothing wrong with him pampering and trusting Gu Tianze, because Gu Tianze is worth it. ιxiΓ if...... If he dies, he will have to have a few loyal ministers with him, and maybe I can drink and play chess with him when he gets there. β
Wang Yixin had hallucinations in front of his eyes, the scenes of the previous life and the present life were intertwined, he lived for a long time in the previous life, but he lived in repentance all day long, he lived a very painful life, and he did not dare to die in order to atone for his sins. He may not survive this prison in this life, but he feels that he has died a great death, very simply, without concern.
"If Yao'er also goes, I may dare to reincarnate and be her father again."
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Duanhan can't understand Wang Yixin's sometimes naΓ―ve, sometimes romantic poet's thinking, he hasn't lived enough in this life, and he still wants the next life?
"You'll regret it, you'll regret it. You don't care about me and my little sister, are you worthy of being a father? β
"I can't keep your ambitions, if God can reincarnate you, remember not to be the child of my useless, stubborn, ignorant, confused, and eccentric father."
Wang Duanhan's fist slammed on the cage door, turned around and walked out, "You abandoned your wife and daughter, regardless of our life or death, no one wants to be your son......"
The figure in front of him shook, his neck was suddenly strangled by his arm, and someone whispered in his ear: "Don't make a sound." β
ββ¦β¦ You...... You...... Gu Tianze? β
"Lu Yanxun."
"Yes."
Lu Yanxun flashed out of the shadows, opened the door of the cell where Wang Yixin was held, and said in a low voice: "Because the Queen Mother asked him to persuade Lord Wang, there is almost no one outside the cell, but time is pressing, Lord Gu has to hurry up, I will go outside to guard." β
Gu Tianze walked into the cell, and Ah Er directly tied Wang Duanhan tightly with a rope, and his mouth was also blocked.
"Father-in-law......"
Gu Tianze walked to the scarred Wang Yixin and knelt in front of him. "I'm sorry. I'm late. β
"Aze?"
Wang Yixin couldn't believe the person he saw in front of him. Laboriously grabbed the arm handed over by Gu Tianze, Gu Tianze was thinner than when he was in the capital, and the brilliant arrogance on his body was restrained, "What about Yao'er?" Can she be with you? β
"......" Gu Tianze pursed his lips, "She will definitely return to the capital, father-in-law, she will come back." β
"Where did you leave her? You promised me to take care of and protect her, Gu Tianze......"
Wang Yixin was too excited. His eyes rolled, and his body fainted.
Gu Tianze was also distressed by Wang Yixin's sadness, and the corners of his eyes were a little damp, where are the people in prison still immortals at this time?
He is already very guilty for not protecting Xiao Qi, and now he can't even protect Xiao Qi's father, when Xiao Qi returns, how should he explain to Xiao Qi?
"Third Young Master."
Ah Er said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is still waiting for someone to save your life." β
Gu Tianze endured it, pressed Wang Yixin's wound, and whimpered: "Father-in-law." Father-in-law, wake up. ιxiΓ needs you. β
Lu Yanxun didn't dare to look at it, he bowed his head silently, Gu Tianze's palms were stained with sticky blood...... The blood that flowed from Wang Yixin's body, he ventured into the prison, just to let Wang Yixin help...... "Father-in-law, Xiao Qi is also waiting for you." β
"Huh?"
Wang Yixin was awakened by the pain, and struggled to identify the person in front of him, "Aze, what did you just say?" Where is Yao'er? β
"The emperor is seriously ill and unconscious. I tried my best to make the emperor sober up, His Majesty didn't wake up, I didn't dare to let him appear in front of the courtiers and princes, most of the subordinates under the command of the yamen in the capital were transferred outside the city, I could lead them to capture the capital, but I had no way to make His Majesty speak. β
"You...... Let me do what? β
"Only you can transfer Wang Zhixuan out of the palace. For the sake of today's plan, only she can save His Majesty. β
"Wang Zhixuan? Her medical skills? β
"Yes, Tiansuan said that her medical skills are exquisite, and it is difficult to find in the world."
"Is the heavens there?"
"The remnants of the previous dynasty tied up the heavenly calculation, and wanted to use the heavenly calculation to correct the name of the previous dynasty, Ah Er had already rescued the heavenly calculation before rushing to Qishan, so the queen mother and they could not get the approval of the gods and Buddhas of the sky. Except for Tiansuan, no one is qualified to preside over the new monarch's enthronement ceremony. β
"Go get pen and paper."
Wang Yixin crawled for a long time and didn't have the strength to get up, "Aze helped me up, I don't have the strength." β
Gu Tianze's tears rolled down, and let Wang Yixin lean on his shoulder, "Wait for Your Majesty to wake up, you ......"
"Don't talk about heroes or anything, I don't like to hear it."
Wang Yixin's pale and chapped lips curled into a smile, "I just did what a father should do, Yao'er and you can be fine, even if I die, it's nothing." And for His Majesty's loyalty, I am no worse than anyone else, and I dare to compare with you. β
Can sneak into the prison of the Beifu Division of Jinyiwei Town, and let Lu Yanxun, the real power figure of Jinyiwei, look at the wind outside the prison, Gu Tianze doesn't seem to have no connections, foundation, listen to what he just said, can he lead 5,000 subordinates to capture the capital?
Tsk, that's a lot of power.
Wang Yixin didn't think that Gu Tianze was joking, and the elite soldiers under his command were only afraid that they would be more loyal to Gu Tianze.
That's fine, at least Gu Tianze will not be liquidated by the new monarch lightly, and it is unknown that he will embark on the road of power, as long as he can ensure that Yao'er is rich and safe in his life, the powerhouse will ...... Just be a powerful minister.
Wang Yixin's fingernails were lifted, and when he held the brush, it hurt, it hurt, the blood dripping from the nails stained the rice paper red before the ink, Gu Tianze couldn't bear to look at it, and held Wang Yixin's hand, "I'll come." β
"No, Wang Zhixuan is very shrewd, unfamiliar words, I can't trust her."
Wang Yixin asked Gu Tianze to let go, and laboriously wrote on the rice paper one stroke at a time, and after a while, Wang Yixin put down the brush, "Okay, let people go to the palace." β
She'll come.
"When she returns to the cell and sees my miserable appearance, she will come to hear my remorse and cry out to her in pain."
Wang Zhixuan...... My daughter has never regarded me as a father. β
Back then, Wang Zhiyao hated him to the extreme, but she still couldn't see him being spurned and abused by the world, and watching him sell calligraphy and paintings on the street for a living...... So she gave the evidence to herself before she died, and helped him out of the siege in the shadows.
Wang Yixin chuckled: "Actually, I have a good daughter, I didn't know how to cherish it before, but now I want to cherish it, and her heart is broken." β
"Xiao Qi has always regarded you as a father."
"It's not intimate, I know she's sad, Aze, you don't know what I've done, so you must not understand why I'm always guilty of Yao'er, in front of her, I'm not like a father. Actually, I'm glad that I can finally do something for you. β
No matter how much he suffered, he didn't feel pain.
Ah Er forced Wang Duanhan to hand over the blood-stained letter written by Wang Yixin to the waiter waiting outside, Wang Duanhan had a dagger behind him, so he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, according to Gu Tianze's instructions, "Go and send it to my sister, Wang ...... Daddy, he wanted to repent to his sister personally. β
The chamberlain didn't see Wang Duanhan's strange appearance, and rushed back to the palace with the letter in his hand.
If the Empress Dowager succeeds, their group of people will rise to the top, and the chamberlain will become a person like Grandpa Huaien, who even the ministers dare not offend lightly.
******
A carriage driving on the official road came from a coquettish voice, "Stop, don't think I don't remember, you won't let me go to the capital." β
Wang Zhiyao threw the snack on the shaved Shang Taisun, "I remember the map, this is definitely not the road to the capital." β
In recent days, Emperor Sun of Shang was tossed by Wang Zhiyao very weakly, and wanted to use force to force Wang Zhiyao to comply.
First, he was a little reluctant, and second, since he was the emperor's grandson, how could he do something ungraceful? Third, he wanted to subdue the strange Wang Zhiyao, but he was not completely sure.
The two of them were just tugging at each other.
He hasn't even touched Wang Zhiyao's little hands until now.
"I'm going to the capital."
"Okay, go to the capital!"
Shang Taisun nodded and said, "When you get to the capital, you will understand that you are my person." β
P.S. Ask for a pink ticket. (To be continued......)
