Chapter 55: The Dream of the King of Dian (I)

In the dim light, the word "Ru Jin" was so conspicuous, Wei's heart twitched, this person disappeared in her world for twenty-two years, one month and twenty-four days, the past was unbearable, she believed in her own judgment, but she couldn't forget his last words: "Yuyan, I didn't owe you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info "She had killed countless people, but she had never felt what it would be like for a knife to cut her throat, and that day, she felt that the meridians and blood vessels would block the knife from sliding forward, and they all became hard and transmitted to the knife, which was a bit shocking...... Ru Jin covered his neck with his hands and used his last strength to stare at her, his eyes full of begging. She wiped the knife indifferently, Ru Jin fell, he was dead, but his body was still struggling, convulsing until the last drop of blood in his body was shed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The ministers were suspicious, and the disaster of the Hou Mansion was caused by the Ru family's Qinglian. This woman, a descendant of the rebel Ru Jin, was punished for being a prostitute, and she was a servant of her order. Later, he returned obediently, but his wife Wang Bai welcomed him and made him a concubine. However, those with untouchable status may not be able to enter the sect, and it is even more intolerable under national law. The clansmen are very resentful, fearing that they will be punished by clan rules, or it may affect Wang Bai and his young son. Or, the clansmen want their property and use the excuse to cause harm. Hou is a national hero, but the descendants suffered from this catastrophe, with the power of the minister, one person's thoughts, but can not get the truth, but also the old people in peace. Hope that the rain and dew will be heard, and the officials will be sent to punish the murderers, and comfort the dead, so as to show the world. ……”

Wei and this chapter, if she and Ru Jin had children back then, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been so decisive at that time.

"Rain and smoke", Fei Yu is like smoke, moisturizing things, IKEA and IKEA, the child asks for it. Ru Jin wrote it to her, but she was still in infancy at that time, and her father smiled: "Brother Ru, the word rain and smoke is very good, but the last sentence 'the son asks for it' - this~ I don't want to take advantage of you." The people around laughed, and some people even teased him, asking him to quickly change his name to Wei Chengmo's father-in-law, Ru Jin was made red-faced, and hurriedly explained that he didn't have a heart, what he meant: Gentlemen want to marry. The people around laughed again, all the people present were top-notch people in the text, who didn't know that Wei Chengmo was joking with him, the more he explained, the more the word "father-in-law" sat down.

Later, her father became the emperor's teacher, and she also entered the palace when she was a child, and grew up with the emperor...... Later, it can only be described in one word.

After killing Ru Jin with her own hands, she thought that the little tenderness in her heart had been exhausted, but the little ink on the fold was sprinkled in her heart, and it also made her see one thing clearly: the emperor hates Ru Jin so much, whether it is today's chapter, or the chapter where Wang Yi died, he didn't make any royal approval, so he let people save the file, the former is related to the descendants of Ru Jin, and it is reasonable, and the latter just likes and pities the descendants of Ru Jin a little more, so he also dislikes him, and even uses royal power, Quietly deprived him of the glory after his death. His wife and son died tragically, and he was indifferent, and the benevolent and tolerant emperor judged the two of them.

The orange moon was half covered by dark clouds at some point. It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and if it is like this on August 15, it will be too disappointing. Wei got up, took out her "Phoenix" seal from the secret grid, kicked it in his arms, paused, and took a cloak from the hanger before going out.

Walking on the palace road, the air dead wind lanterns along the road pulled her figure in front of her for a while, and in front of her for a while. It didn't take long to walk before he met a patrolling eunuch. The leading eunuch scolded, which palace people, down the lock and walking around, she took out the palace card from her arms, the eunuch and the eunuch behind her hurriedly knelt down for her, she didn't make any indication, and continued to walk towards the palace gate. When she walked away, the leading eunuch stood up and asked the eunuch behind her, who was this person and how could he hold the emperor's palace card. The eunuchs behind him all shook their heads.

When she arrived at the gate of the outer palace, the chief eunuch guarding the door did not wait for her to take out the palace card, so he knelt down to greet her. She still didn't speak, she took out the palace card according to the rules, and after the eunuch guarding the door checked the palace card, she went out of the palace from the corner gate.

……

When Ru Jin returned to the Rift Inn, his underwear was already soaked. Before coming to Yunnan, he knew that the king of Pingxi was flying and domineering, and he could not live forever, and before leaving, his teacher Wei Chengmo also told him that when he went to Yunnan, he only had to do a good job of his training, and he didn't care about everything, and he didn't ask about everything. He also knew that he was a nine-rank petty official, and the king of Pingxi was in the sky and on the ground, his heart was strong but his strength was insufficient, and An An had worked for three years, listened to the teacher's words, and was promoted and transferred. But when the matter came to an end, he felt that it was not easy for this nine-grade petty official in Yunnan to do. No wonder it can be so easy to fill a vacancy.

The man saw him come back, carried a pot of good Pu'er, and followed him, biting the inaccurate official words and bringing him water. He motioned for him to let go out, but the man said a lot to him in tongues, he had just come here, and he did not understand the local dialect, and when he saw the man so chattering, he impatiently ordered him to go out, and at this time, what he needed most was to be quiet.

In the morning, in the school hall, the students mysteriously circulated a piece of paper, he wanted to confiscate it, but the leader Zhang Hua swallowed the paper in one bite. was so angry that he slapped Zhang Hua's palm with a ring ruler, and punished him for copying "The Book of Rites" again. I thought that Zhang Hua was circulating some obscene lyrics and songs, but later after he broke up from school, his proud protΓ©gΓ© Yu Weiting quietly told him that Zhang Hua was not passing on any obscene lyrics and songs, but a text written by the local literati Gu Jin to drive away the Tartars and restore the Han court, and Zhang Hua was picking up all the students and uniting to rebel against the imperial court. Yu Weiting finally said that he couldn't read this book anymore, and he was going to take refuge with his aunt in Sichuan, change his nationality and take the exam again, and asked him to make plans as soon as possible. After saying that, he floated out the door. Ru Jin was stunned at the moment, if there was a big rebellion in his school, he would hide it and not report it, once the students made a fuss, he would be exiled at the lightest. So he changed into his official uniform and hurriedly walked out of the school hall to discuss with Zhixian Youzhijing.

When he arrived at the mansion, there were three steps and one post around, five steps and one sentry, he didn't think much about it, he rushed directly into the flower hall, entered the flower hall, and couldn't help but be stunned, an old man wearing a three-clawed golden dragon sat on the top, and the county magistrate Youzhijing stood aside with his hands down.

"Ziyu, I haven't seen King Pingxi yet." You Zhijing was not unhappy with his rudeness.

Ru Jin wiped the fine sweat on his head and gave Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, two bows and six bows.

King Pingxi helped him up with a pleasant face, and kindly asked him about the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Yunnan, with a sense of concern, Ru Jin did not care about his kindness, and replied respectfully, while secretly giving You Zhi a respectful look. He and You Zhijing not only have the friendship of colleagues, but also have the feeling of chess friends, I think he will understand himself.

"Ziyu, did you come to my house today, are you doing business? If it's a business matter, King Pingxi is our boss, but you say it's okay. You Zhijing smiled.

Ru Jin was stunned again, and then changed his mind, the matter of the conspiracy of the students is not a trivial matter, even if You Zhijing knows, he must report to the state and Taiwan government, and even more to the lord of Yunnan. simply said it together, so he told Wu Sangui and You Zhijing about this morning's events in detail.

After listening to this, You Zhijing's face was as usual, and he was not frightened and angry, but asked him one by one: "Brother Ru, are you Han or Manchu?" ”

Ru Jin's brain boomed, and he knew what You Zhijing meant. Looking at King Pingxi and his entourage on the left and right, if he answers wrong today, today will be his death day. Maybe he was too scared, but he calmed down, and his mind was no longer as chaotic as when he was in the academy. wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I am naturally Han." ”

You Zhijing secretly laughed, Ru Jin is usually pedantic, and his brain is still turning a corner at this critical moment, and he is not counting himself as interacting with him in vain. He used his three-inch incorruptible tongue, praised the wisdom and martial arts of King Pingxi to the sky, and scolded Kangxi Xiao'er for being mediocre and conceited and ungrateful. Then, let the official carry out the miracle of the birth of the king of Pingxi - a meteorite, which reads: Lang Zhonghua, Tiankou alone!

Ru Jin wiped the sweat on his head again, leaned over, and said, "I am willing to follow King Pingxi in my later life." Ru Jin knew that although this sentence could temporarily get him out of trouble, but when he was told to the Holy Lord in the future, his nine clans would not be protected. But he can't, if he doesn't take this step, he won't have a word for the future.

King Pingxi said a good word, so he asked him to work under You Zhijing, and told him that he had made You Zhijing the Imperial History Observatory and promoted to the third rank. Ru Jin once again bowed to King Xie Pingxi.

Out of the county office, he ran all the way back to the inn, and he didn't settle down for a long time.

The guy next to him didn't retreat, still babbling in dialect, the boss came in, knocked the guy on the head with a dry tobacco stick, and also said a dialect, and the guy went down aggrievedly. The boss's surname is Zeng, and he said in an official dialect, and he called a thousand queens and said: "Ru Xundao, Lord Futai has come to invite you under the constitutional card, saying that the government has a major event to discuss today, and someone is waiting under the room, do you need a small sedan chair or a horse for you?" ”

Ru Jin was stunned for a moment, then picked up the teapot and poured a breath, to this day, the chaos in Yunnan is inevitable, he has an official body, it is impossible to learn from Yu Weiting to escape, so he ordered Boss Zeng to prepare a horse, he went to Daotai Mansion to see what the situation was, and then made a decision.

In the Daotai Mansion, Daotai Zhang Youming summoned all the prefects, instructors, and professors under his rule, and first abolished the fame of Zhang Hua and other talents, and sent them to arrest them. Later, it was announced that all instructors and professors should step up the investigation and punishment of the changes in the students in the school, and those who concealed it and did not report it would be punished with the same crime. Ru Jin shook his head, Zhang Youming still didn't understand, where did this evil wind come from, only a few sour shows couldn't make waves, and the real wave was the king of Pingxi. He was thinking about how to tell Zhang Youming about today's events, You Zhijing took a big stride late, and when he saw You Zhijing, Ru Jin seemed to be a thief, and his face immediately turned red.

Zhang Youming unhappily reprimanded You Zhijing: "Bi bow, why is it procrastinating to this time?" I don't know if I'm playing the constitutional card today? ”

You Zhijing was not stunned, and said coldly: "Lord Zhang, there is a big event today. After speaking, he took out a pair of scissors from his arms, and Zhang Youming was startled, and shouted, what are you going to do? The strong flavor of the northwest makes people laugh, but no one thinks this matter is ridiculous. You Zhijing pulled the braid from the back of his head, clicked the scissors, and cut his braid, the hall was shocked, but no one made a sound. Last month, the emperor cut the domain, the king of Pingxi accepted the decree, and all the officials in Yunnan breathed a sigh of relief. Today's Zhang Hua case, although it is reminiscent, no one expected that there would really be such a day.

Zhang You will pass the fifty talents of the Jinshi next year, and after ten years of hard work, he will be mixed into the post of Yunnan Yifutai, seeing this situation, sadness starts from his heart, and he can hold back his grief and indignation. Said: "Okay, you are respectful!" How did the old man not see that you were a white-eyed wolf! ”

You Zhijing lost the braid in his hand and said: "Lord Futai, the person who knows the times is Junjie, you choose it yourself, do you cut the braids, or splash the blood in this three-foot Mingtang?" ”

Zhang Youming wiped his eyelids: "This matter is a big matter, I have to let me think about it, and I have to let the people in this room think about it." ”

"Well, for the sake of my former colleagues, I'll let you have an hour. An hour later, don't blame me for being merciless. After You Zhijing finished speaking, he put the scissors on the ground and retreated, and the sound of ironclad heavy soldiers surrounded by heavy soldiers sounded outside the door.

There was not a single pant in the room.

After a long time, Zhang Youming asked, "Everyone, what do you think?" ”

After asking, after a long time, no one answered.

Zhang Youming smiled bitterly, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I won't stop you from staying old." ”

As soon as these words came out, a small number of people in the hall saluted him, cut his braids, and walked out of the Ming Hall.

Zhang Youming instructed the master to take out the Lanmao wine [(1)] that he had stored in the back room, and then instructed the official to take out the wine glass. He opened the wine seal with his own hands, poured it into the wine jug, held the wine jug in his hand, and filled the wine glasses one by one. The blue sake fell into the cup like a delicate leaf, reflecting the white porcelain cup emitting a faint green light, Zhang Youming distributed it to everyone present, and there was already a sound of humming in the hall. He burst into tears and raised his glass: "At this time, it is the old man's luck to observe the festival with you!" Please be bowed by the old man. After speaking, he knelt down, and everyone in the hall also knelt down with wine glasses in their hands: "I am willing to follow the boss!" Zhang Youming said in a loud voice, drank the wine in the cup, and everyone also drank this cup of life and death wine......

This wine is refreshing in the entrance and has a fragrant aftertaste, and it is really a good wine. Ru Jin sighed in his heart, he knew that the situation was like this, he didn't have to struggle in vain before noon, he ruined his reputation, and when he learned from Master Zhang, he made a decision immediately.

Zhang Youming scratched his fingers, played the blood book, and after writing, passed it on to everyone, and those who read it all bit their fingers and signed them to clarify their intentions. After writing, everyone sat down and waited quietly for You Zhijing to come in.

An hour later, You Zhijing came in, Zhang Youming handed him the fold, You Zhijing finished reading it, and said: "I will definitely report the adult's will to Kangxi Xiao'er!" Zhang Youming raised his hand and slapped You Zhijing, but You Zhijing did not fight back. Command your men to put everyone in the dungeon......

On the second day, February 2, the dragon raised its head, the king of Pingxi was reversed, the governor of Yunnan Zhu Guozhi was killed and sacrificed to the flag, and Zhang Youming of Kunming Daotai killed himself Mingzhi......

The log records are very clear, and after Qinglian read it, she felt like she was there, and there was a chill on her body. She put down the log, it was close to the third watch outside, Wang Bai's Lingzhi and Wang Guo'er next door were already asleep, she looked for a coat to put on, and continued to look through her grandfather's log.

"Three days later, Geng and Shang were all opposed, and within a month, the thirteen provinces and south of the Yangtze River were all occupied by the thieves. You Zhijing re-entered the dungeon, instigated the court officials, within one day, three out of ten haircuts, Zhao notified the county Zheyunli to cry: "You and others all drink Zhang Gong's wine, a promise is heavier than Mount Tai!" Zhang Gong was martyred, the bones were not cold, you rebelled, how can you see Zhang Gong again under the nine springs? The rebels did not say anything, but walked along the wall, their faces red-faced. The next day, Zheyunli was martyred to Mingzhi. After Jin Ming, Zhang Xian, He Shuxing and other thirteen people all became gifts. The remaining twenty-five were not fed and watered every day, the sun and the moon were hopeless, and they wailed incessantly in prison, 19 died of edema, and three were relegated. Within six months, only Wenji and Xinyi Yu Wu remained. After our perseverance,......, Zhang Gongqian's little official Liufu couldn't bear it, and smuggled food and drink every day, so that we were able to survive for more than six months. ”

This is the end of this diary, and the second half of it has been torn up, but the person who tore it out has carefully stated the log. These more than ten logs were obtained by Qinglian from an old pianist in Yingchun Academy. The old luthier was originally a slave of her family, and after her family raided the house, the violinist was sold to the capital. After they entered Beijing with Qingyue, Wenxiang assigned this steady old luthier to serve them. When the old violinist was changing her clothes, he saw the red lotus birthmark on her chest and knelt down. At first, Qinglian was a little frightened, her identity was recognized, and if she didn't do it, it would affect her wife and son, and even more so Qingyue. Later, the old luthier reverently brought out her grandfather's diary, and she was relieved. A servant has been cherishing her master's diary for more than 20 years, and this friendship will never betray her. And from the old violinist's face, she also saw her love and respect for her grandfather, which made her more relieved.

The next five books record some miscellaneous things about returning home and entering Beijing, such as my aunt's birthday, what gifts I gave her, how my aunt and grandmother were happy, how my wren brother died unfortunately, how I was naughty, broke my grandfather's inkstone, and so on, until the year before the family was copied.

After reading it, it was already dawn, and the prince of the world held the little tiger pillow, ran in, and shouted crisply: "Auntie, auntie, it's time for breakfast, I want you to feed me." Qinglian rubbed her slightly reddened eyes, picked him up with a smile, and asked, "Guo'er, are you hungry?" The prince giggled and drilled into her arms, and the two talked and laughed and went to find Mrs. Wang.

After breakfast, Qinglian found the old pianist and asked her if she still had a log in her hand, the old pianist shook his head and said, "The day before the master was taken away, Aunt Wei took away many of the master's logs. After the lord found out, he secretly called me to the study, gave me the opening papers, and handed over these logs to me, telling me to escape, if there is a chance, hand them over to Lord Wenji, but unfortunately I haven't escaped yet, and the people who raided the house have arrived. Later, Master Wenji also suffered, and I didn't dare to hand over these things again. If I hadn't met Miss Xiao, I really don't know what to do with these things. These things have become a piece of my old woman's heart, but fortunately, the old man appeared and let me meet the little lady in my lifetime. Qinglian listened, she couldn't, and the missing logs included the rebellion of the three feudatories and the last year before the raid. When the house was raided, she was only seven years old, she was not a prostitute when she was a child, her mother was unbearable to be bullied, and she committed suicide on the way, the Ru family only had an old grandmother to accompany her, the old mother was over sixty years old, mediocre and useless, and never told her about the Ru family, her memory was only Wang Yi who played with her when she was a child, as for the family, or because of terror, or because of the shameless face, she can no longer remember their appearance. She has relied on Wang Yi for many years, and she has never thought of delving into family affairs, but in the dark she got her grandfather's diary, which seemed to arouse the resentment in her heart, and she suddenly wanted to know why the Ru family suffered such a catastrophe, and how could she end up like this!

Wei Yuyan used the phoenix seal to call out the nine-headed bird, this person was born and died with her, after she married Ru Jin, the nine-headed bird retired to the imperial city, after Ru Jin died, he had shown his heart to her, she rejected him, and the two forgot about each other in the rivers and lakes. Although he was still on the books, she never used him, in order to never see each other again. After twenty years of wind, frost, snow and rain, he is also old, and he no longer has the demeanor of his youth, but his sensitive eyes are still bright.

"Xinyi ,......," she didn't know how to speak.

Xinyi looked at her for a long time before asking, "You finally came to see me, I have been waiting for twenty-two years." ”

Wei Yuyan smiled bitterly, they are all sixty or seventy years old, such words seem a little ridiculous. Xinyi said: "As long as it is what you order, I will not give up the sword, the mountain and the sea of fire." She suddenly didn't want to tell him what to do anymore, she already owed him half her life, and it was better not to owe him the rest of her life.

"No, I'm just old and want to see you." She excused.

Under the dim light, Xinyi smiled and said: "For so many years, your kung fu of lying has regressed. If you just want to see me, you can push the door and enter, how can you use the phoenix seal? ”

Wei Yuyan is embarrassed, worthy of the title of nine-headed bird. That's it, he is destined to be owed in this life, and if there is a next life, he will definitely pay him back!

"Please help me do two things, first, please go to the northwest and find out who killed Ru Jin's granddaughter. Second, after Su Lian's death, her cuckoo seal disappeared, and I want to know who took this seal and controlled her informant. ”

After hearing this, Xinyi was secretly sad, Yuyan finally forgave him, for so many years, he still didn't understand where he lost, if he didn't save Ru Jin in Yunnan Heavenly Prison, then when she met Yuyan again, would she choose him?

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Kangxi, Ru Jin was terminally ill in the dungeon, and Wenji couldn't stop coughing, and the only one who could hold him up was him. He summoned Liufu and asked him to go to You Zhijing, saying that the three of them couldn't stand it anymore and decided to cut their hair. When Wen Ji heard this, he coughed and reprimanded him. Ru Jin raised his hand, but his mouth was powerless. Waiting for Liufu to retreat, he secretly said that with Ru Jin and Wenji, in addition to his status as a member of the army, he was also a secret agent placed by the emperor in Yunnan. Now that the war is in full swing, it is time for him to go out, and I hope that after the two of them go out, they will temporarily take refuge in King Pingxi, and also help him to do internal response and investigate the news. Wen Ji was suspicious, and he had a certificate and a seal that he had outside, and when it was convenient, he would show them to them. A year of prisoner life made each other rely on each other, their friendship was considered a friend of life and death, Ru Jin and Wen Ji glanced at each other, and he cut his braids.

You Zhijing heard this, overjoyed, personally took the three out of prison, in the face of You Zhijing's enthusiasm, the three of them were silent, You Zhijing found the best local doctor, to treat the three of them and regulate their bodies. A month later, Ru Jin was able to go to the ground, and he quietly went to the incense burner of the Niangniang Temple in Liushupo in the south of the city to put a special key in the incense burner of the Niangniang Temple in the south of the city, and established a connection with his upline. The next day, the upper line instructed him to infiltrate the enemy camp and quietly collect information, which was rolled in a straw and put back in the incense burner. He was instructed not to destroy the note immediately according to the rules, but brought it to Ru Jin and Wen Ji and asked them to read it before destroying the order.

After the three of them recovered from their illnesses, they all obeyed the orders of You Zhijing, who had changed from a civilian position to a military position at this time, and became a royal food officer. Ru Jin became his clerk, Wen Ji became the agricultural manager, and he became the grain officer. By virtue of their own status, they became friends with grain officials and officials in various prefectures, extracted the grain collection situation from their mouths, and calculated Wu Sangui's actual military strength, grain transportation cycle, and marching route after monthly surveys. Due to the tacit cooperation between the three of them, each time the information and accuracy deduced were rewarded from above, Ru Jin and Wen Ji were full of enthusiasm. And he was a little uneasy, according to the rules, without the permission from above, he could not reveal his identity, or snared his wings. But thinking of the friendship between the three of them in prison, if he was punished for them, he would be willing. In this state of affairs they worked for another year, until he received another order.
