211 Evil hearts do not die
Ying Zhao is solely responsible for the search for people, and he will be scolded every time he reports the progress, and when His Majesty is in a bad mood, he will be taken out and scolded, Ying Zhao said that he was very aggrieved, and he was jealous before, and now he finally knows how difficult this position is.
He would rather go back to the Heavenly Book Division to be a pawn than accompany the king, and it is more appropriate for someone else to be a professional punching bag.
"Waste, there has been no trace for so long, how did you become a commander, so many people can look for hundreds of miles around the capital inch by inch, but you didn't find anything, can this person still disappear out of thin air!" Zhao Xianming sat on the soft couch with one leg crossed, scooped up the teacup on the table and smashed it into Ying Zhao's head.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish your majesty." Ying Zhao knelt on the ground and said weakly.
They have searched all the places they can go, but there is no news of Princess Wu, what can they do? In fact, even he sometimes couldn't help but suspect that maybe Princess Wu was dead.
"What is the use of scolding and punishing, punishing you? Will you be able to find someone by reprimanding you? Zhao Xianming's anger did not subside, and he took the teapot and smashed it again, but fortunately, Ying Zhao knelt far away, and the teapot landed on the ground before it flew to the place.
This time, the Ying Zhao was really poor in words, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, for fear that he would be scolded again if he made a mistake.
After a while, Zhao Xianming calmed down his anger and said coldly: "Princess Wu has no news, has there been any progress on the black-clothed young man who has made your attention?" ”
Ying Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and had a little confidence: "According to the portraits painted by His Majesty, we found many similar ones in Kyoto and the surrounding counties, but according to the characteristics of short hair and blindness mentioned by His Majesty, there are some inconsistencies, and they are still being investigated......"
Seeing that His Majesty was about to go crazy again, Ying Zhao hurriedly said the key point: "However, in the process of searching for someone, his subordinates accidentally discovered one thing, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is also secretly looking for someone, and the person he is looking for is the black-clothed young man His Majesty is looking for." ”
"What? The eighth child is also looking for him? Are you sure he's looking for the same person as me? Zhao Xianming sat up straight in surprise, and the expression on his face became even more gloomy.
Ying Zhao nodded affirmatively, if he couldn't even find out this little thing, the Heavenly Registry Division collectively went to hit the wall and cut himself: "My subordinates sent someone to secretly confirm that he was dressed in black with short hair, pale skin, blind eyes, and black patterns painted on the corners of his eyes......"
Speaking of this, Ying Zhao paused for a moment, and the image of another person inexplicably appeared in his mind - His Royal Highness King Wu.
In private, they have not monitored the whereabouts of King Wu, although they have not received any useful information, but he is more familiar with this person than Zhao Xianming, with the same pale and sick appearance, the same outstanding appearance, and a mark at the corner of his eye...... The world said that King Wu's face was the tear mole of the Lone Star Lord's life, but he felt that it was more like some kind of symbol, whose tear mole grew into that color and shape?
What made him feel that the two of them were similar the most was that they both had an indescribable dark and mysterious aura, surrounded by a layer of psychedelic mist, as if they did not belong to this world at all, ethereal and untouchable, and what people saw was just a phantom, shattered at the touch of a button.
This feeling is weird, if there is no such thing, he can't tell it himself, so he never mentioned it to anyone.
Zhao Xianming didn't notice that Ying Zhao's words were not finished, but the information he provided was enough to confirm that the person King Qi was looking for was a young man in black, and the young man's outfit was too distinct, and it was impossible for anyone who had seen it to admit it.
"What's going on on their side now?" After a pause, Zhao Xianming asked again: "What information did the eighth provide when he was looking for someone?" Is there an exact name and family register? ”
Ying Zhao returned to his senses and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, no, the information provided by His Royal Highness the King of Qi is similar to what you conveyed to us, and there is nothing about the identity of the young man, and I have found nothing so far." ”
Zhao Xianming didn't answer, it seems that the relationship between the eighth child and the young man in black is not familiar, so when did they have contact?
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered the day when the Wuwang Mansion and the Xian Wangfu had the final competition, but all those who entered the mountains and forests suffered heavy losses, especially the Jin Wangfu and the Qi Wangfu, and later heard from his subordinates that if it were not for the help of a master, the eighth would probably die in the forest, and then contact several parties to set up an ambush to besiege Song Weijun and Song Weijun, who has always been strong, was seriously injured...... Will it be the black-clothed boy who injured Song Weijun and saved the eighth child?
The more Zhao Xianming thought about it, the more likely it became, how powerful the young man in black was, he had seen it with his own eyes, and it was completely possible to injure Song Weijun in the midst of heavy protection, maybe it would not be a problem to destroy the difficult guards in the Wuwang Mansion with his hands.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "When did King Qi start looking for people?" Let you monitor every move of the royal palaces, why has no one reported to me at this time after so many days? ”
Ying Zhao secretly complained and explained: "It's not that his subordinates are hiding it, since His Royal Highness King Qi was placed under house arrest, he has not been in contact with the outside world, until last night the person in charge of the search quietly sneaked back to the Qi Palace's mansion to report the progress, and the subordinates learned about the matter and asked someone to investigate carefully, only to learn that His Royal Highness the King of Qi had sent people to search for it secretly as early as in Xishan." ”
tang
"Back in the West Mountains?" Zhao Xianming narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, the time was just right, it turned out that his good brother had the same idea as him, it seems that the thief's heart is not dead!
"Keep an eye on the situation over there at any time, and tell me as soon as there is news!" Zhao Xianming breathed a sigh of relief, the topic came to an end, and he thought of another thing: "What have they done recently? Still looking for Princess Wu? ”
"Yes, they don't seem to have a clue, and the most they go to is the valley where Princess Wu disappeared, and they met people from King Wu's Mansion there two days ago, and the two sides almost fought." Ying Zhao said.
"Martial Prince's Mansion? Hmph......" Hearing these three words, Zhao Xianming snorted coldly: "I finally know that among all the princes, the martial king Song Weijun is the most pretentious, seemingly arrogant and uninhibited and not involved in court politics, but in fact, he is a wolf with ambitions, and he is the same as my good brothers!" They are all rebels without a monarch! ”
Ying Zhao silently lowered his head and treated himself as a piece of wood.
King Wu is the first person under the emperor, even if the emperor is not able to insult King Wu so casually, but who made King Wu a "traitor", a while ago there was also information that on the way to Tongguan when the traitor Zhao Xianyu fled all the way to Tongguan, the Song family army opened the door more than once, and almost demolished the imperial study with a small abacus, but with the current situation of the court, there is really no time to do anything to King Wu, so the emperor can only take advantage of his tongue.
"Song Weijun hasn't returned to the Martial Palace?" Sulking alone for a while, Zhao Xianming relieved himself and had to mention this person who made him hate itchy.
Ying Zhao said succinctly: "No." ”
"Have you found out where he is recuperating from his injuries?" Zhao Xianming is also quite helpless about this, even if he has the heart to calculate Song Weijun, but he can't even touch the shadow of others, and any open guns and hidden arrows can only be stillborn.
Wuwangfu also shamelessly released the news that Wuwang was seriously injured in the Xishan Rebellion for escort, and almost lost his life, if he asked Wuwangfu to send troops again, I am afraid that not only the court rebellion, but also the people should wonder if he is really mediocre as the emperor.
For this reason, Zhao Xianming was so angry that he almost vomited blood, the escort of bullshit, it was obviously a group of them who forced him to a dead end, and he shamelessly reversed right and wrong, and no one would publicize it because of the events of that night, right!
"For the time being...... No. Ying Zhao said dryly, tightening his skin and preparing for a new round of scolding.
"Get out!" Sure enough, another teacup slammed in, accompanied by an extremely patient roar.
At the same time, the same drama was playing out in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After returning to the capital, a large number of officials who participated in the rebellion or formed a party for personal gain were disposed of, but the DPRK and China could not be left alone, which inevitably hurt the fundamentals, and in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, some high-ranking officials Zhao Xianming did not rush to deal with it, and only found an excuse to be placed under house arrest at home. ”
"True to nature?" The man sitting opposite him in the costume of a lightly armored military general looked more like a Confucian than Qin Chengxiang, who was the head of the civil officials, and he looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a smile, "Are you sure you can still afford these two words now?" ”
Prime Minister Qin's hand on the blue and white jade carved cloud dragon pattern paperweight tightened suddenly, but his cold voice did not rise or fall, "The saint did not remove the official position of the prime minister for a day, and the prime minister was the prime minister of the two countries for a day, and the appointment and dismissal power of the official is not your turn to be a vertical argument, could it be that Zuo Xiaowei Da can already replace His Majesty Xià in charge?" ”
"You...... You don't want to slander this official ......" In this sensitive and extraordinary period, who dares to accept such words.
In the end, Prime Minister Qin Cheng is an old fox who has been in the court for many years, and he is a civil official, compared to the advantage of his tongue, how can ordinary people be opponents, and he poked the other party's knee with blood in just a few words.
"Someone, send off." Without giving the other party a chance to refute, Prime Minister Qin directly issued an expulsion order.
Jin Wuwei Zuo Xiaowei stood up and sneered, and said disdainfully: "Today is the last day given to you by the Holy Lord, tomorrow morning, this official will come to get the list, Prime Minister Qin Cheng will make good use of this last time to forgive your sins, maybe Your Majesty will be happy to spare your life." ”
When he walked out of the study and closed the door, Prime Minister Qin's calm face suddenly collapsed, and became distorted and hideous due to anger, he raised the blue and white jade carved paperweight in his hand, and smashed it towards the closed door, the loud noise alarmed the Jinwu guard outside the door, and the guard opened the door to check, but was almost hit by the other party's paperweight that followed: "Get out!" ”
A small Zuo Xiaowei dared to ride on his head, which made Prime Minister Qin Cheng, who was accustomed to being above 10,000 people under one person, hold back his belly, but thinking of that person's last warning, he couldn't help but look sad again, he can still sit in a comfortable study instead of a prison cell, there is also a price.
needs a list of Xianwang's henchmen to exchange, if he can't write it tomorrow, the Qin family will be completely wiped out, but don't say that he is not the core of the Xianwang party, he doesn't know who Xianwang's subordinates have wooed, even if he knows, he doesn't dare to write, thinking of the prince who seems to be gentle and elegant but is actually ruthless and cold, Prime Minister Qin Cheng felt a chill down his spine.
Sitting alone in the study and pondering for a while, the only person he thought of who could solve the current predicament was only one person, maybe his granddaughter who married King Wu could help him again, thinking of this, he got up and wanted to go to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's wife, and asked her to hand over a post to King Wu's Mansion to see if he could meet Qin You.
It is related to the fate of the entire Qin family, and that little beast can't sit idly by.
However, as soon as he stood up, he heard the sound of the guard outside the door greeting the prime minister's wife, and then the door was pushed open.
"What's so hot? I've heard you drop things from afar. "The prime minister's well-maintained face is no longer bright these days, and there is a hint of blue and black under her eyes.
Prime Minister Qin Cheng had something to do with her, so he eased his face and said casually: "Some things that don't have long eyes, why are you here?" ”
"I heard that you have been busy in the study, and it is not good to stay overnight, so I ordered someone to stew some supplements, don't worry too much about this kind of thing, Your Majesty is just a moment of suspicion, and when it is clear, we will be released." The Prime Minister's wife persuaded with a smile.
When Prime Minister Qin heard this, his eyebrows tightened again, and he didn't have to pretend to be sad: "Now that His Majesty has determined that the old man has colluded with the party, I'm afraid this level will not be so easy, unless it ......"
"Unless what?" The Prime Minister's wife looked at him and hurriedly asked, she didn't really want to send supplements when she came over today, but more to inquire about the current situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly had a large number of Jin Wuwei guards, how could she not be anxious?
was once very prosperous, who could stand the taste of being a prisoner.
"Unless there is a high-ranking nobleman who can come forward to protect our Qin family, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope, otherwise our family can only be slaughtered like that soldier squire." Prime Minister Qin rubbed his eyebrows, his face sad.
