Chapter 233: Undercurrent
Xin Zi fell asleep for ten days.
Tang Yinbrown stayed by her side for ten days, sleepless, and never left her for a moment, until she opened her eyes and asked to leave, but without saying a word, he led the horse and immediately carried her out of the city.
But in the past ten days, there has been an undercurrent in Tokyo.
The murder of Yan Chaoyang at the mouth of Beisha Lane made the old emperor heartbroken.
Tang Jiashan, who rushed to the palace as soon as he got the news to "solve problems" for the emperor, saw that the spearhead was pointed at the King of Qi, and thought that everything was going on in an orderly manner according to the plan, and when the arranged candidate was recommended to replace the position of the commander of the forbidden army, he had an explanation to King Xin, and he could finally sit back and relax for a while.
But the next day, a holy decree came down, and it turned out that Zhao Chengru, the commander of Jinyiwei, had filled the vacancy of the commander of the forbidden army.
When the old man Tang got the news, he only felt like a fish in his throat, the porridge bowl in his hand was held on his chest and forgot to put it down, and the hot porridge water was poured out and sprinkled on his legs.
Why is it the turn of the kid surnamed Zhao?
King Qi pinched the old emperor's fear of death and set up the Drug Supervision Department to continue his life, but the old emperor kept his life, and a pair of old bones became more and more useless, but it was not an ordinary witch's blood that could be saved.
King Qi saw this point and proudly covered the sky with one hand in the palace.
Such ambitions and great rebellion are clear to even the people outside the city, how could the old emperor not know.
It was precisely because he saw this that he decided that there would be no mistake in blaming Yan Chaoyang's death on King Qi - with the old emperor's suspicion of King Qi, he would be the first to suspect his son of evil without any need for evidence.
Judging from the state of the emperor that night, he simply accepted the crime of King Qi, and in order to balance and punish his arrogance, he arranged the position of the commander of the forbidden army to King Xin.
Why does a night suddenly change after a night's time?
What made the old emperor so eager to hand over the guard work of a city to a brocade guard who could only play some dark tricks and could not be on the stage?
The commander of the Jinyi Guard is also the commander of the forbidden army?
What a big joke, unheard of!
King Xin, who got the news, also rushed to the Tang Mansion with a gloomy face, but unlike his uncle, who was overwhelmed by anger, he seemed much calmer.
"How did you explain this to your good son before?" King Xin had no time to sell off with Tang Jiashan again, so he asked straight to the point.
Tang Jiashan was confused when he heard this, and replied truthfully: "I only let him do Yan Chaoyang, do it secretively, and I will deal with the rest of the ......" Halfway through the words, he suddenly raised his head, "Do you doubt ......?"
King Xin nodded heavily and said, "With that Zhao Chengru's friendship with Tang Yinbrown, now at this juncture, he has neither background nor connections, how can he make the old emperor suddenly have the iron heart to hand over this errand to him?" If I'm not mistaken, you said before that Yan Chaoyang was killed by Jinyiwei's people when he was first discovered? ”
Tang Jiashan, who was suddenly awakened, narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and nodded: "I said that the person was killed in the middle of the day, but he didn't rush to the Tang Mansion until the third watch...... With his ability, it is said that it should be effortless to deal with one Yan Chaoyang and ten of his subordinates......"
Everything became clear, King Xin's face softened a lot, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "We only thought about taking the opportunity to calculate his newlywed little lady, but we never thought that you raised this as a vicious dog with sharp claws and fangs, and also knew how to bite us." Now he is relaxed, he has arranged everything, just stay by the side of the girl surnamed Xin, and he can sit back and enjoy it without spending a single soldier. ”
Tang Jiashan sighed and asked, "Do you have a countermeasure now?"
Zhu Ciyi picked up the tea bowl and stared at the floating leaves inside, and only raised his head again after a long time, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Didn't Zhao Chengru claim to be loyal to the emperor alone? Just think of him to change his loyalty to us. ”
Tang Jiashan became more and more confused when he heard this: "I have already checked, he has no wife or child in his family, one does not love money, the second does not love power, and the third is not greedy for sex, he is a copper pea at all, what do we use to win him over?"
King Xin glanced at Tang Jiashan, who was a little bloated, shook his head and said, "You can't do it, but there is one person who can."
"Who?"
Tang Jiashan's second monk was confused, but King Xin swept away the previous haze, got up and said: "I will arrange this myself, you just have to rest assured."
After saying that, he didn't give Tang Jiashan a chance to ask again, and walked away.
That night, King Xin visited his brother Zhu Ciren.
The next day, the rumor that Princess Bao was going to marry the commander of Jinyi Wei Zhao spread.
Bao'er got the news from her personal maid, but she just thought it was a false rumor from the outside world, and she didn't take it seriously.
It wasn't until her father told her that she was like a bolt from the blue.
"I'm not married." It was the only answer given by Boa.
Zhu Ciren had expected that his daughter, who was spoiled by heaven when she was a child, would not be able to compromise so easily, but this time she couldn't help her temperament.
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. It's not that you say you won't marry if you don't marry. Zhu Ciren replied coldly.
Bao'er looked at her father with resentment in her eyes: "Am I your daughter, or am I just a pawn waiting to be used?"
Zhu Ciren was blocked by Bao'er's words, and opened his mouth to say "You ......" but couldn't say a word to refute it.
Bao'er has never been the one who lets go easily, seeing that her father is at a loss, she did not take advantage of the situation to give in and ask for a little room to return, but pressed more step by step, she actually raised her head and laughed loudly, looking at Zhu Ciren with disdain: "Actually, it's just me? You're just a pawn yourself. Wouldn't it be more pathetic than me, a wretched man who was born to be at the mercy of others, to watch your own brother climb on top of him little by little, and finally let him come and go as he wants? ”
Zhu Ciren has always been cowardly, has not made much achievements, and has never fought for anything, the only advantage is that he is afraid to spoil a daughter who teaches Emperor Gaotian and the Zhu family to like from top to bottom.
But now this daughter slandered herself with her weakness, and he had endured that contemptuous gaze all his life, and he could not stand the contempt in the eyes of his favorite junior.
Zhu Ciren gambled in his chest in one breath, his brain was hot, and he slapped Bao'er in the face with all his strength.
"From today onwards, until the day of the wedding, you are not allowed to step out of this house for half a step!" (To be continued.) )
