Chapter 24: Exile
Today is the day of the sacrifice, the three princes and the nine kings, the ministers of civil and military affairs have already been prepared, and the assembly in the square in front of the palace, the Qin Dynasty admires water virtue, the clothes are still black, and from a distance, it is a piece of black pressure.
At this time, the hour was still early, and the King of Qin had not yet appeared. After a while, these people will go to Taimiao under the leadership of Ying Zheng. Along the way, there were already guards of the Qin Palace guarding all the way. Sweep the roads, retreat from the people, and ensure that the ritual process is not disturbed.
And Hu Hai and Ying Ziyi left the palace gate early from the pavilion guarded by the guards on both sides.
"Brother Ziyi, let's be careful, don't be discovered by them."
Before the Taimiao, Hu Hai said cautiously. There's a road ahead, and I've been in it last time.
The road that Hu Hai pointed to was a small hole in the corner of the wall, and Hu Hai took some effort to get into the wall of the Taimiao Temple from inside. Ying Ziyi dug out some soil from the hole, it is still new, and this hole should have been dug not long ago.
"The guards of the Forbidden Palace, I know the routes they patrol, be careful, it shouldn't be difficult to avoid them." The two entered the temple, and Hu Hai said proudly.
"I'll go, this kid has spent so much effort to fix me, and he even remembers the route and time of the guards' patrol clearly."
Hu Hai brought Ying Ziyi to the door of the Taimiao, quietly opened the side door, and walked in sideways. Ying Ziyi was watching outside, still hesitating. Hu Hai thought that he was well hidden, but a child was able to remember the patrol route and the order of the guards clearly, and led him through the heavily guarded Taimiao to the gate without being discovered. This in itself is not an ordinary thing.
Early this morning, Hu Hai came to him and said that he would take him to the Taimiao Temple to see the treasures. Presumably, Zhao Gao didn't dare to openly harm him, at most, he was framed for a crime and drove him out of Xianyang.
But when it came to the end, Ying Ziyi hesitated. As a villain, greed for life and fear of death are the most basic characteristics, and Ying Ziyi is no exception. What if Zhao Gao made a mistake and ambushed one or two assassins inside?
"Brother Ziyi, why don't you come in yet, don't be discovered." Hu Hai's voice was a little anxious.
"My brother is here." Ying Ziyi shouted and walked in.
Walking into this palace, Ying Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, he found that there was nothing else in it except for some tablets, and there was no way to hide people at all. Hu Hai pulled him and stepped forward.
"See, this is the treasure I am talking about." Hu Hai refers to a piece of bright yellow oblate opaque amber resting on a low boxy pillar in the center of the tablet on either side.
On the mahogany shelf, the surface of this piece of amber is round and smooth. The ingenious thing is that its shape is round, but it is not artificially carved, it is really a miracle of nature!
"This piece of jade was obtained by Mu Gong when he was hunting, and he thought it was a good omen, so he was enshrined here. It is said that since then, the jade has been enshrined here, and there is no need for anyone to clean it, and the room is always clean as before, and the ancestors thought it was a miracle. Hu Hai introduced to Ying Ziyi.
Wait, Ying Ziyi found out that something was wrong. How is the function of this piece of beeswax in Hu Hai's words so similar to the exquisite pearl that Gai Nie said?
Don't?
Ying Ziyi looked at this piece of beeswax, but did not notice that Hu Hai was showing a strange smile on his face. He quietly took two steps forward.
Hu Hai took out a small bottle from his sleeve robe and sprinkled the white powder inside on the bright yellow silk cloth on both sides of the enshrined tablet. Soon, smoke began to rise from the ayafu, and a little spark came out.
"It's on fire!" Hu Hai shouted, and flew out.
Oops I'll go, what's going on? Ying Ziyi raised her head and looked at the flames not far away. In the empty palace, there was no trace of Hu Hai for a long time.
This blame is too casual, and there is no professional quality.
"Hah!" Looking at this gap, Ying Ziyi's little hand slapped on this beeswax, and he was full of true anger, only to see the slightest crack on the smooth surface of the round amber, Ying Ziyi picked it up inside, and found that an emerald green bead was embedded in the broken layer of amber.
That's it, Linglong Zhu. Ying Ziyi put the bead away.
"Bump!"
The door is open.
An old man walked in through the door, followed by several guards.
"Don't put out the fire yet." The old man's wrinkled skin trembled up and down, but a pair of dark eyes only stared at Ying Ziyi, not caring about the fire at all.
The fire was already small and was extinguished in a short time. Ying Ziyi only heard those people and attendants say to the old man: "Changpingjun, the fire has been extinguished. ”
"Ying Ziyi, do you know that even with the respect of your son, it is a big crime to enter the Taimiao privately, so as to ignite the candle flame and almost burn the spirit card of the first king."
Oh, I'll go, this old shameless one, I didn't put this fire.
At this time, a sharp-eyed guard whispered a few words in his ear, and Changpingjun's face changed greatly, and he rushed to see the piece of amber on the pillar.
Looking at the slightest crack on the amber, it was already broken into pieces in some places. Changpingjun, who was still full of momentum just now, sat down as if he had been drained of strength.
"What happened?"
The majestic voice sounded outside, and Brother Zheng led the three princes and nine kings to arrive.
"Your Majesty, Qiong Yu is ruined." There was actually a trace of trilling in Changping Jun's voice.
Ying Zheng walked into the hall, glanced at the broken amber on the square pillar, looked at Ying Ziyi again, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know. Before Changping Jun brought people in, Qiong Yu was fine. Then they rushed to put out the fire, and this is what happened afterwards. Ying Ziyi spread her hands and said shamelessly.
"You!" Changping Jun pointed at Yingziyi, his nostrils were open.
"Spare your life, Your Majesty! Wang Shang "When Ying Ziyi said those words, the people brought in by the surrounding Changping Jun had already begun to kneel and beg for mercy. At this time, they deeply understood that the gods fought, and the imps suffered.
"Your Majesty, the fourteenth prince stole into the temple today and accidentally knocked over the fire candle, causing a fire. The old minister was ordered by the king to come to the Taimiao to arrange everything, smell the fire, and bring people in to extinguish the fire. The attendants were careful, and they didn't even approach the pillar dedicated to Qiong Yu. It must be that the fourteen sons were destroyed first, and at this moment they are slandered last. Changping Jun took a deep breath, sat up on his knees, and explained the cause and effect to Yingzheng.
"Changpingjun, you are a lot old, why do you still lie to the child? I'm powerless! ”
"Your Majesty!"
"That's it! Now is not the time for arguments, where sacrifice comes first, and then it ends. ”
Brother Zheng is worthy of being Brother Zheng, calm and generous, and has a good command. Although this sacrifice is a bit hasty, there is still a set of etiquette after a set of processes.
Qin Palace.
Yingzheng is on the throne, and the civil and military are on the left and right.
The central government is the culprit of this matter.
Hu Hai knelt next to Ying Ziyi, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Father, today Brother Ziyi said that he would take me to a fun place, and then the two of us sneaked into the Taimiao through the hole next to the wall. After entering the palace, Brother Ziyi accidentally knocked over the candle, causing a catastrophe. Hai'er fled first because she was afraid, and after that, Hai'er didn't know anything. ”
After speaking, Hu Hai wiped his little face and wiped away his tears, and his tender little face was still filled with innocent tears.
"What do you think should happen to this matter?"
Changping Jun walked out of the train and said: "The fourteenth prince broke into the Taimiao without permission and caused a fire, and this matter has been clarified. Not fulfilling the responsibilities of the elder brother, seducing the weak brother, and doing misdeeds, this matter has also been made clear. ”
After Changpingjun finished speaking, Wang Jian walked out of the train, "That Taimiao is heavily guarded, how can the fourteenth prince break through with the eighteenth prince without being discovered?" If this matter is in doubt, please think twice. ”
At this time, Meng Wu, Xin Sheng, Li Xin and others also stood up from the train, "General Wang is right, please think twice." ”
Most of the military generals in the upper echelons also walked out of the train and pleaded for Yingziyi.
Changping Jun was relieved and said, "Others can do this, but the old man is skeptical. However, the Fourteenth Prince is different, he is in Yishui, with an army of 100,000 to break the Yan army of 400,000, it is not surprising that he can avoid the heavy guards. ”
At this time, many Wenchen also came out of the train and expressed their approval of Changping Jun.
Ying Zhengjian had different opinions, looked at Prime Minister Li Si again, and asked, "Li Si, what do you think?" ”
As Changping Jun said, this matter has been clarified. However, although the fourteenth prince is smart, he is young after all, and it is normal for things to be inconsiderate. Li Si was not offended on either side and said.
"Fusu, what do you say?"
"Erchen thinks Erchen thinks that Prime Minister Li Sicheng is right!" With Changping Jun on one side and his younger brother on the other, Fusu also had a hard time choosing, and finally said a word.
"If you are guilty, you should be punished." Ying Zheng finally defined the matter.
"Erchen asked to exile Longxi." At this time, Yingziyi's clear voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh?" Brother Zheng looked at Ying Ziyi and asked, "Why?" ”
"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil." Ying Ziyi straightened her throat and shouted out in a sonorous voice. Coupled with his serious appearance at the moment, he has a bit of a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
Eh, you committed a crime and went out into exile, how can you be loyal to the country.
Below, many courtiers muttered like this in their hearts.
"Accurate!" Ying Zheng said, and a deep voice resounded throughout the hall.
