Chapter 007: The Third Prince
When Xun Jiu and Fusheng returned to the palace, Yutai Xiyan waited anxiously in the front hall, and when she saw the two, she quickly got up to meet them, and hurriedly asked, "Where have you two been?" Why did you come back at this time? ”
Xun Jiu saw that Tantai's face was not very good, his heart tightened, and asked, "Mother, is something happening?" ”
Tantai sighed and frowned: "You were outside before, I don't know if you have heard of it, not long after the portrait of Zhengyi was posted, it was recognized as Yu Shuyang, who slaughtered the whole family ten years ago, and someone has already stabbed this matter into the palace, I heard that King Min was furious, and the original search for Zhengyi became the arrest of Yu Shuyang, you say, what should I do?" ”
Xun Jiu and Fu Sheng glanced at each other, then looked at Tantai and said slowly: "Mother, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yutai was so anxious that he turned around, "Can I not be in a hurry?" If you just recognize the true identity of Zhengyi, the key is that this matter also involves the stinky boy, and some people have already suspected the motive of the stinky boy coming to Minguo this time, saying that the king of Qin is the helper invited back by Yu Shuyang, the purpose is to overthrow the Min royal family and overthrow the nine-fold palace. The Nine Palaces are a sacred place in the hearts of the people of Minguo, and when such public opinion is disseminated, doesn't it push the stinky boy into the fire pit? ”
"Mother, don't worry." Xun Jiu came over and helped Xiyan sit down, and personally served her tea, and then said: "Actually, I knew about these things when Ah Sheng and I were in the teahouse. ”
"You all know?" Yutai was a little stunned.
"Hmm." Xun Jiu nodded, "We have been listening to books in the teahouse before, and we just heard the storyteller talk about the blind mother-in-law on South Street who said that Tianzhu Xinglin Palace, Minguo is in trouble, and someone instigated it at that time, so the people quickly recognized Yu Shuyang from the portrait." ”
Tantai said anxiously: "How did things evolve like this, who is behind all this?" ”
"On the surface, it's King Min." Fu Sheng replied quietly, frowning slightly, "But in fact, there is still a force behind King Min." ”
Xun Jiu also calmed down and sorted out everything, and agreed: "Yes, it was indeed done by King Min to slander Ah Sheng, but in this way, another suspicion was invisibly cleared for King Min, he did not take Zhengyi away, Zhengyi is not in the hands of King Min, but has another place." ”
When she first came to Minguo, she didn't know much about the political situation in Minguo, so even if Xun Jiu and Fusheng said this, she couldn't guess who else would attack Zhengyi.
"It's the Queen." Xun Jiu said with a solemn face: "It must be her!" ”
Fu Sheng curled his lips, "It's not so much the queen as the Jiang family." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Xun Jiu nodded, "It's the Jiang clan who wants to deal with King Min, so he passed the queen and used Zhengyi, but what is Zhengyi's identity and why can it be easily used by the Jiang family?" And what can Jiang do with Zhengyi? ”
At this time, Yu Yinchen's deep and gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door, "That blind mother-in-law on South Street is very problematic. ”
Xun Jiu raised his eyes and saw his big sleeves fluttering, and his jade-like complexion was plated with a layer of color by the brilliance in the hall, and there was a dreamlike beauty.
Secretly pursed his lips, Xun Jiu thought that this person was getting younger and younger and more handsome as he lived.
Yu Yinchen walked over, and Yutai Xiyan hurriedly got up to greet him.
Even Xun Jiu and Fu Sheng stood up and gestured slightly.
Yu Yinchen waved his hand and sat down next to him, and then said slowly: "My people went to investigate, and finally found that Zhengyi's disappearance seems to be related to the blind mother-in-law on Nanjie that you said. ”
Xun Jiu opened his mouth wide in shock, "Wasn't Zhengyi kidnapped by the Jiang family?" ”
"Definitely." Yu Yinchen shook his head, "Zhengyi was not kidnapped, he was still willing to follow his blind mother-in-law." ”
Xun Jiu felt even more stunned.
Even Fu Sheng's face showed a touch of disbelief, "What is this blind mother-in-law capable of?" ”
Zhengyi, like the other four guards, has undergone special training from him personally, it stands to reason that ordinary hypnotism can't work on them, and ordinary drugs and incense can't shake them in the slightest, although Zhengyi's temperament is a little dull, but his martial arts are not weak, if he is really taken away by his blind mother-in-law as Yu Yinchen said, then he can really only follow him willingly, not be taken away.
Thinking of this, Fu Sheng's eyebrows tightened, "It seems that Zhengyi's life experience is related to an incident many years ago, and this matter implicates the blind mother-in-law, the Jiang family, and King Min, and the most important thing is that this matter can touch King Min's scales, so King Min wanted to kill Zhengyi at all costs to vent his anger." ”
Xun Jiu thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that Zhengyi is the illegitimate son of King Min?" ”
Thinking about it, Xun Jiu said again: "Or, King Min once loved a woman deeply, but in the end he didn't succeed, or that woman betrayed him and gave birth to a child with another man, and that child is Zhengyi, so King Min wants to kill him at all costs?" ”
This conclusion, Xun Jiu summed up through what he has seen and heard around him for such a long time, although it is a little bloody, but there is some basis for it.
Fu Sheng looked at her with a smile, "According to what you say, didn't that blind mother-in-law become Zhengyi's biological mother?" ”
"Quite possibly!" Xun Jiu nodded, "King Min has a perverse temperament, and he knows that the woman betrayed him, so he gouged out her eyes, so that she will never see the light again in this life, and she will never see that man again. ”
Yu Yinchen smiled slightly, "It sounds like Miss Jiu's analysis is not flawed. ”
Xun Jiu's face moved slightly, she clearly remembered that since she woke up in the Nine Folds Palace, Yu Yinchen would only call her "Miss Jiu" when he saw her, he shouldn't be able to accept that she was already a wife, right?
It's just a title, and it's not a big deal if it's not in line.
Xun Jiu thought like this in his heart, and his complexion returned to normal in an instant.
Fu Sheng's mind was extremely delicate, and he had already carefully observed Xun Jiu's expression when Yu Yinchen said "Long Girl", and saw that she turned from initial stunned to relieved, he also smiled lightly, but he did not mention anything from beginning to end.
Tantai Xiyan's attention was all on the blind mother-in-law that Yu Yinchen said.
Xun Jiu heard Yu Yinchen say that, and his mind moved, "The national teacher thinks that my reasoning sounds correct on the surface, could it be that there are other secrets here that I don't know?" ”
Yu Yinchen looked at her lightly, "The blind mother-in-law on South Street is actually not as unbearable as we understand, there is a queen's temple on South Street, the blind mother-in-law is the temple keeper, and the people respect her very much, if it is really like your analysis, King Min should wish that she was better off than dead, where will she enjoy the respect of the world?" ”
"It seems that there are still many secrets to be discovered." Xun Jiu rubbed his forehead, "But it's been more than ten years since these things were done, where do we start?" ”
Fu Sheng said: "These secrets have indeed been buried for many years, but since the other party has made a move now, then let's wait and see what happens, as long as they take the next step, they will definitely be able to leave clues, and it will be convenient to check it when the time comes." ”
"That's a good point." Yu Yinchen said: "It is impossible for the blind mother-in-law to take away Zhengyi for no reason, there must be a reason for this, as long as there is action, there will be traces, there are so many elite guards in the deity and the West Palace, it is not very difficult to find out the whole thing, the difficult thing is that we lack time now, because we can't understand what the other party wants to do." ”
After a day of transmission speed, the people in the entire capital of Minguo knew that the so-called King of Qin's guard Zhengyi was the murderer Yu Shuyang of the year, and there were grievances for a while, but after all, the person who was spread was the powerful King of Qin, and the people only dared to get together to discuss, and did not dare to abuse, lest a person who accidentally let the King of Qin listen to it and be killed.
The officials in the palace are even worse, and they directly wrote to criticize the King of Qin for oppressing people, and are ready to pass the excerpt to the Empress Yanjing, but the helpless Minguo is now shining brightly, out of the Minguo, the more north the more snowy, the mountain has long been closed, and now it is difficult to pass on the news at this time.
In the council hall, the words of the officials were different.
Some people think that the top priority is to find Zhengyi for interrogation first, and if it is determined that he is Yu Shuyang, he will be punished.
Other courtiers had deep doubts about the purpose of King Qin's visit to Min.
The situation in the palace has been deadlocked, and King Min's two thick eyebrows are tightly frowned, and he can't come up with an idea for a while.
King Min's son Fu Yan stood up and said: "Father, the son also feels that the top priority is to find Zhengyi first, as for whether he is Yu Shuyang, wait until he finds someone to make a conclusion, after all, the rumors in the market are just one-sided, and King Qin hasn't spoken yet!" ”
Fu Yan's words immediately silenced the arguing ministers.
Fu Yan is right, King Qin has indeed not spoken so far, and the so-called Zhengyi is Yu Shuyang, this kind of rumor does not know where it started, now the party is not there, and the King of Qin has not given a positive response, if the people are allowed to make a big deal about this matter, then the truth will come out, if Zhengyi is not Yu Shuyang, then the heads of these old ministers are waiting to be dedicated to King Qin!
The ministers have different thoughts, and they are all weighing the pros and cons, where did they think that this so-called sign is that the rumor of Yu Shuyang is that the dignified and upright King Min on the throne let people spread out?
Originally, King Min was still secretly happy because King Qin was attacked by the people, but who knew that the prince came out and poured a basin of cold water and woke everyone up.
King Min's face was gloomy at the moment, and the anger in his chest was like a tornado passing through, but he had to suppress it after all, and he couldn't say anything.
You must know that although the general of Yipin Zhenguo is now stationed abroad, there is no lack of Jiang family's power in the court, so he stood up and thought that the part of the courtiers who should first find the righteousness and then make a conclusion is the people in the Jiang family's clan.
This part of the people cannot be moved for the time being, otherwise it will inevitably lead to civil unrest.
The Jiang family now holds a lot of power, and King Min still has to rely on the Jiang family to garrison the country, so the Jiang family can't move for the time being.
Thinking of this, King Min's face softened slightly, changed to a gentle face, and said: "Lone also thinks that what the prince said is very reasonable, so according to what the prince said, send more people to find the whereabouts of Zhengyi." In addition, let people calm down the rumors in the market. ”
Fu Yan raised his eyes, looked at King Min fixedly, and sneered in his heart, the queen mother was right, his father was ready to cover up the next step, the more he asked people to cover up the rumors about Yu Shuyang, the more the people would feel that Zhengyi must be Yu Shuyang, but King Min was forced by the power of King Qin, so he had to let people calm down the rumors and cover up the truth.
King Min is preparing to make a big deal about Yu Shuyang in disguise and ruin King Qin's reputation to the end.
Hooking his lips and smiling, Fu Yan retracted his gaze, he has always liked the thing of snipe and clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman.
After going down to the court, Fuyan did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the queen's Zhaoyang Palace.
As soon as Fu Yan stepped into the main hall, he saw the third prince Fu Qi kneeling in the hall, his head lowered and his expression could not be seen clearly, the whole hall was filled with a pungent smell of wine, and the queen who was sitting on it had an angry face.
Fu Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Queen Mother, what happened?" ”
As he spoke, he was going to pull Fuqi up from the ground.
"Don't touch him!" The queen suddenly shouted, and the anger on her face was even worse, "I don't do my job all day long, it's just idle and idle, and I am addicted to alcohol, and I have made myself a ghost and a ghost, and there is no such son in this palace!" It's all the shame of our Jiang family! ”
The third prince, who had been silent, sneered silently.
From childhood to adulthood, the queen has told him no less than a thousand times, he is a descendant of the Jiang family, and he should fight for the Jiang family. But his surname is Fu, isn't he? The "support" of the same clan and clan as the empress, what kind of gas is fighting for the Jiang family, and how much can he enjoy the qi he is fighting for?
"Queen Mother, let's let the third brother get up first." Fu Yan glanced at the queen, and then at Fu Qi, and finally slowly squatted down, while tidying up Fu Qi's clothes, he muttered helplessly: "You are really, you are also a descendant of the royal family, how can you let yourself be sloppy like this, the queen mother has been snubbed by her father, her only hope now is in our brothers, you don't want to live up to her expectations, come, stand up and apologize to the queen mother, the queen mother is not an unreasonable person, maybe after a while, the heart will be soft and ignore the past suspicions." ”
Fu Qi pushed Fu Yan's hand away, raised his eyes covered by fluffy hair, and sneered at Fu Yan, "I'm afraid the prince is wrong, you are the official descendant of the Jiang family, you should fight for the Jiang family, and you are the one who should relieve the worries of the queen mother, I am just the most useless one among the more than ten princes of the Min royal family." ”
Fu Yan's eyes shrank, and his face showed a little displeasure, "Third brother, you!" ”
When the queen heard this, she couldn't sit still any longer, and strode down and slapped Fuqi in the face.
Fu Qi was already half asleep and half awake, and suddenly he was slapped in such a big way, and most of the wine was awake, but he suddenly laughed three times, and his voice was infinitely cold.
The palace maids on the side turned pale with fright.
Over the years, although the queen did not wait to see the third prince, it was just a few scolds to vent her anger, and she slapped the third prince in public like today, and this was the first time that the queen was angry, which shows that the third prince really angered the queen to the point of irrepressibility.
The palace ladies sighed silently in their hearts.
The third prince was born with a jade tree in the wind, how could he be a wine jar, he couldn't walk when he got drunk, he had to be drunk for a few days and nights before he woke up, and he woke up and continued to drink.
Over the years, the queen sent a lot of palace maids to his side, all of whom were beaten and scolded by him, and then the queen was cold, so she no longer worried about the affairs of the third prince, so there is no palace person to serve the third prince now.
The people in this palace are all greedy, the palace people have a low status, and the only thing that can make them stand out is the master, the third prince is not only not treated by King Min, but even his own mother and queen are so disgusted, it can be seen that there will never be a day when such a master will never come out.
Over time, the palace people didn't take the third prince in their eyes, and they didn't say anything about it when they saw him on weekdays, and they didn't bother to reach out to help him when they saw him drunk on the palace road.
The third prince, who had not stepped into the Zhaoyang Palace for a few years, was summoned by the queen for the first time today, and the queen didn't care about it, and talked about business directly, the content was that the third prince had reached the age of marriage, and in a few days the queen was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, so that the ladies in the capital would come to participate, and asked the third prince to cheer up from now on, and choose a prince and concubine when the time came.
The third prince refused without hesitation, which caused the queen to be angry for many years. Therefore, when Fu Yan entered the door, he would see such a solemn scene.
The queen's face was pale and gray, and she glared angrily at Fuqi, who was kneeling on the ground without a human shape, and gritted her teeth and instructed her personal female official: "Bring the third prince back, you must serve him well in the past two days, let him become a human, if the third prince is still like this at the flower-viewing banquet in three days, a few of you who are waiting will come to see the palace!" ”
The three female officials turned pale with fright, their bodies trembled, and although they were dissatisfied with the third prince in their hearts, they did not dare to show anything, and quickly pulled the third prince from the ground and took him back to his bedroom.
Fu Qi, who was carried forward by the two female officials, one left and one right, suddenly had a sneer on his face under the messy hair, did he choose a concubine? The queen just sees herself as a stepping stone to pave the way for Fuyan, where is she who really wants to choose a concubine for him?
After Fu Qi left, Fu Yan personally poured tea and handed it to the queen, and persuaded him: "Queen Mother, don't be too angry, the third brother is not sensible, not to mention that he has been so temperamental all these years, no one can get close, don't be angry." ”
The queen took the teacup, glanced at Fu Yan deeply, and then sighed, "What kind of sin did I create in my previous life, I would give birth to such a useless son, I thought that I would take advantage of this flower banquet to give him the daughter of the Taifu family, but I didn't expect this son to be a dou who couldn't be supported, even if the palace broke his heart, he couldn't understand the bitterness of my motherhood." ”
Fu Yan was slightly stunned, "The daughter of the Taifu family?" Why did the queen mother find a concubine? The third brother is also a prince, how can he be worthy of him? ”
The queen sighed again, "Qi'er has a bad reputation in the court over the years, and your father doesn't want to see him, if you want to find a daughter from a famous family, I'm afraid it's very difficult, besides, let him get married is to pave the way for your smooth succession, the daughter of the Taifu family is delicate and sickly, if you marry and die within two years, this is not a good thing, I thought about it, and finally finalized the daughter of the Taifu family, so that it will not cause your father's disgust, nor will it fall into the courtiers' mouth, After all, the concubine is a prince, and the Taifu family is considered to be high. ”
Fu Yan thought about it, felt reasonable, and smiled at the queen, "It's still the queen mother's wisdom." ”
The queen said: "I have already asked people to send the post, if you have nothing to do in the past two days, go and urge that evil son, let him take care of himself, if you dare to make any mess for me at the flower feast, I must peel his skin!" ”
"Erchen knows." Fu Yan gently bowed his head, and his lips were slightly hooked.
After Fu Qi returned to the dormitory, the two female officials immediately went to the water room to prepare hot water for him to bathe, but Fu Qi lay on the couch and did not move, covering his eyes horizontally, and the two female officials did not know whether he was asleep or awake.
One of them cautiously called, "Third Prince? ”
Fu Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice was furious, "Get out-"
The female officer was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and the other hurriedly pulled her up, and the two said in unison with trembling voices: "Third prince, the bathing water is ready." ”
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear?" Fu Qi turned his head and looked at the two female officials with poisonous needles in their eyes, and the two of them trembled uncontrollably.
Glancing at each other, the two female officials knelt on the ground with a puff and cried: "Third prince, the slaves just want to serve you to bathe." ”
Fu Qi's patience was exhausted, and he stood up and kicked hard at one of the female officers, who screamed in pain and burst into tears.
Fu Qi looked at her coldly, his voice condensed, "I'll say it again, get out-"
------Off topic------
At present, the blind mother-in-law, the Jiang family, the queen, these people are actually related to Zhengyi's life experience ^^ Waiting for the clothes to reveal the secret step by step, after the affairs of the Minguo are over, the West Palace will probably be able to "blood and light disaster", uh-huh, you know
