Chapter 191: Palace Change (I)
Wen Yu sat in his tent, it was pitch black, and the scorching summer felt like a cold winter to him. More than an hour ago, they were still discussing together, and in the blink of an eye, Murong Qian turned to ashes.
The remnants of the rebellion of the Falling Water Department sneaked out to assassinate Murong Qian and set it on fire?
The arsonist confessed and died. A qiΔ seems normal, but it is too abnormal. Can't Yanhua's subordinates even take care of a rebel remnant?
Wen Yu sneered at himself, it was very normal for the people of the family to be cold-blooded and ruthless and participate in the killing. However, Yan Hua was able to use the enemy to the extreme, and fought together to quell the rebellion before, and now that the situation in southern Xinjiang was stable, Dìng took the opportunity to get rid of it.
It can be seen that this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time. When he came to southern Xinjiang, he may have just begun to show signs of rebellion.
"Master, if you continue like this, you will also be in danger!" Wen Yu's Dark Guard Leader stood in front of him and worried.
Wen Yu didn't care: "Don't worry, he won't touch me." β
It's not that Yan Hua doesn't dare, but he needs to live by himself. After all, the emperor sent him and Murong Qian for the purpose of balancing Yanhua. So he will at least let one of them go back alive.
Jin Zixuan is Yan Hua's sworn enemy, and Murong Qian also disagrees with Yan Hua, only he has been his friend for many years. Wen Yu felt cold not because he was scared but because his heart was cold, and he didn't know how much of this brotherhood would be left in Yanhua.
"Then master, should I send a letter to the family?"
Wen Yu shook his head and said, "The letter must have been intercepted on the road." He came up with a plan in the blink of an eye.
"Send a group of dead men to personally bring my news to my father. Sue sΓΉ father, if the prince's party rebels. Don't prepare in advance, just notify King Ming at the right time to rescue the driver. The rest will be decided when I return to the court. β
At this time, the prince and the Jin family must fight back like mad dogs, and without Jin Zixuan, the Jin family will only be left with those unsuccessful guys, who want to achieve great things. It's simply impossible.
Before Yan Hua announced Jin Zixuan's treason, Wen Yu was still hesitant, but just now Murong Qian died tragically, he finally made up his mind. No matter who Yanhua supports or what he wants to do, the Wen family must do their best to protect Li You.
A few days later, the Jin family intercepted Yan Hua's letter to Grandpa Yan, which stated that Jin Zixuan's treason was unforgivable, and he hoped that his father would seize the opportunity to wipe out the Jin family. The secret letter to the emperor is also on the way, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.
The Jin family hurriedly ordered someone to chase down the person who sent the secret letter and intercepted the secret letter. Sure enough, Yan Hua told the emperor to count Jin Zixuan's various crimes of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Just take out one that is enough to make the Jin family recover.
The old man of the Jin family was sad because of Jin Zixuan's death, but his sadness was only temporary, and he hated his son for not being angry and actually brought ruin to the whole family, he was simply a sinner of the Jin family. That night, the head of the Jin family in the Jin family ancestral hall announced that Jin Zixuan would be removed from the Jin family tree.
One of the most talented concubines of the Jin family. Won countless glory for the Jin family. The people who fought many victorious battles for Jingtang have since become the shame of the family and the sinners of Jingtang.
After Jin Zixuan's matter was dealt with, the head of the Jin family fell into another distress, they intercepted several secret letters from Yanhua in a row, and if this continues, the emperor will know the truth sooner or later, and then it will be the time when the Jin family will be ruined.
These days, the crown prince frequently makes mistakes in front of the emperor and is always reprimanded and punished. According to the prince's temperament, he couldn't bear it for a long time. Coupled with the fact that the palace spy returned to the emperor and had the heart of another prince, the prince was even more panicked.
And now that Jin Zixuan has an accident, there is still a statement in the secret letter that people who suspect the prince's involvement. The head of the Jin family called several sons. Discuss how to get the Jin family and the prince out of danger.
"Father, without the crown prince, my Jin family will also have disasters. Without the crown prince of the Jin family, he would not be able to ascend to the throne along the way. Jin Zixuan's charge of being a traitor, I'm afraid it will affect the crown princess. The crown princess and the prince are husband and wife, how can they not be implicated, they have no time to take care of the Jin family, and the prince's life can be protected at that time, but my Jin family cannot be protected. β
It was Jin Zirong, the son of the Jin family, who spoke, he was Jin Zixuan's half-brother and the eldest son of the eldest son, and he spoke very weightily in the Jin family. In the days when Jin Zixuan was away, he had a lot more opportunities in the court and within the family.
He was conceited and talented, but he was robbed of the limelight by his younger brother, and he was not knighted yet, but his younger brother was knighted first. In such a family, family affection is the least important, and the most important thing is how much power you have in your hands.
Because Jin Zixuan was too dazzling, there was only one son in his father's eyes before. His eldest son is really a wretch. Now his favorite son made a heinous mistake and was removed, and his father grew old overnight but relied on him even more.
"Tell me what to do." Grandpa Jin sat there tiredly, he didn't want the family to perish in his own hands.
"Father, this is no longer the time to hesitate. The emperor is old, and the prince is not young, so this Jingtang should also be replaced! β
"You!" Grandpa Jin was shocked, "You are a rebellion!" β
"Father, even if Jin Zixuan has been removed from your list, once the news reaches the emperor, our Jin family will be in a catastrophe, and we will also be crowned with the crime of rebellion. It is better to support the new master, the Jin family will become a hero, and the Yan family can also take the opportunity to suppress it. β
"Father, I agree with the eldest brother!" The second son stepped forward and said.
"Father, you can't wait any longer, otherwise you won't have a chance!" The other sons also stepped forward.
Grandpa Jin suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, and there was still a way to live in the palace, but it must be a dead end to sit and wait to die. He slowly stood up and slapped the table, "Good! Just do it. But I have to think of a way to make the prince make up his mind. β
Jin Zirong stepped forward and said, "Father, the son has already secretly met with the crown prince and the crown princess without his father's consent. The prince has made up his mind, and King Anjun will also help the prince. β
Grandpa Jin was shocked, how could it be? The prince didn't have the idea of forcing the palace before.
What he didn't know was that after Jin Zirong learned the news of Jin Zixuan, he felt that this was a good time for him to show his strength.
A few days ago, there was a fight to assassinate the prince at this moment, and said that King Cheng came to ask for the prince's life. The prince was angry and killed the Chengwang Mansion, and the emperor was furious. imprisoned the prince in the East Palace, and did not give him a chance to argue.
Jin Zirong persuaded the prince that if the prince continued like this, he was afraid that he would be replaced by Li You if he was not replaced by King Cheng. If you want to be an emperor, you can only force the palace. Let the emperor pass on the throne to the crown prince by edict.
The emperor has become the emperor, and the crown prince has an edict, and he will not bear the reputation of killing his father. The best of both worlds, why not.
To Jin Zirong's surprise, the prince actually agreed immediately, it turned out that the prince couldn't bear such a day for a long time, and he hated to be the emperor immediately.
Grandpa Jin sighed after understanding YiqiΔ: "The ancestor of my Jin family fought the world with the founding emperor, but I didn't expect that my generation would use this way to protect the family. β
The Jin family originally had a total of 50,000 private troops in the capital, but when Jin Zixuan went to southern Xinjiang, he took nearly 30,000 openly and secretly. Now there are only 20,000 left. It was too difficult to use these people to deal with Yu Linwei, so he had to mobilize all the private troops who were relatively close to him overnight. A total of 10,000 people were mobilized and all of them were waiting outside the city.
The king of Anjun has 20,000 private troops, and the prince can only mobilize 5,000 in the palace. The three parties together are nearly 60,000, but only 50,000 people can enter the palace. The 20,000 men outside the city are to contain the Imperial Foresters.
Grandpa Jin decided to send all the secret guards of the Jin family into the palace to assist the prince in dealing with Yu Linwei, who held the emperor hostage and opened the palace gate, while he and the people in the hands of King Anjun were divided into two groups, one group entered the palace. Another group guarded the Chengwang Mansion outside the palace. Send another group of secret guards to assassinate Li You.
Early the next morning, Zhirong received the white jade box sent by Yan Hua. Wei Ting was excited when she saw Tianyi Dan, and hurriedly took it to study and prepare for medicine. Li You is also very happy, and Zhirong will not worry about his life is his greatest happiness.
"It's strange, only the pill didn't believe it this time. Young Master Yan will write a letter to adults every time. Chunhua asked puzzled.
Zhirong also felt that Yan Hua's confidence was empty, but southern Xinjiang was a battlefield, and it was not easy for Yan Hua to find medicine for himself while fighting, and it was very possible that he would not have time to write a letter.
"He must have worked very hard to find medicine for me, how can I be greedy anymore? I just hope he's safe over there. Zhirong felt that if she could fall in love with Yanhua, she was already the happiest woman in the world. You can't be too greedy.
Xia Jin quipped: "I know what our girl is thinking, and when Young Master Yan quells the rebellion and makes a great contribution, he asks the emperor to marry." At that time, we adults will be able to be with Young Master Yan every day. β
Zhirong's face instantly turned red, pinched her lightly, and glared at her: "As far as you know everything, you still say that I, what about Yan Feng, aren't you waiting for Yan Feng to come back?" β
Xia Jin suddenly said with some loss: "Yanfeng has very few letters these days, and even if there are, it is like gold. It's really strange that when he first arrived in southern Xinjiang, he had to write several pages at a time. β
Chunhua teased her: "Don't be too beautiful a girl in southern Xinjiang, your General Yan is handsome, and you can't say if you have a new love." She saw that Xia Jin's expression was not good, so she smiled and said: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, as long as you are a wife in the future." β
"I agreed with Yan Feng that he can only have me as a woman in this life. I will not allow my husband to have three wives and four concubines, and then there will be a miasma. If that's the case, it's better not to get married. β
Xia Jin didn't mean to joke at all when she said this, she was very strict and serious. This surprised Zhirong, who thought that only he would have such thoughts. It turns out that the same is true for Xia Jin.
"Yo Yo, General Yan will marry a fierce woman in the future." Chunhua covered her mouth and smiled even more happily.
Xia Jin went to twist her face: "I'm a, come to Sister Chunhua to taste my first." β
The house was lively, and the palace maid outside came in to report that it was the grandmother in the Jade Concubine's palace who asked to see her. Mama passed on the words of Concubine Yu, and asked Zhirong to go to the palace to chat in the evening.
Zhirong was reluctant to go, she felt strange about this jade concubine and didn't want to get close.
"I'm not feeling well today, and I hope my grandmother will help me explain it to my mother." Her poor health these days is something that everyone in the palace knows.
Who knew that the grandmother said: "Niang Niang also asked me to bring a message to the adult, if the adult wants to know the situation of Young Master Yan, you can go to her palace." β
Yanhua? Concubine Yu has a relationship with Yan Hua, and Zhirong knows, but what kind of relationship it is, and how deep it is, I don't know. And now that Concubine Yu knows about Yanhua's situation, but she didn't receive the letter, could it be that Yanhua gave the letter to Concubine Yu?
Zhirong has always been calm, but when she encounters Yanhua's affairs, she will inevitably be disturbed in her thoughts.
"Mama, wait a minute, you help me go back to my mother, and I'll go over at ten o'clock in the evening." Whether it's true or not, it has to be related to Yanhua, and she always has to make sure. What's more, with the protection of the secret guard, there shouldn't be any problems.
After dinner, she asked Xia Jin to stay, so that Wei Ting could explain the situation to Wei Ting when she came. After finishing her makeup, she took Chunhua to the Jade Concubine Palace.
This is the first time she has been to the Jade Concubine Palace, and she is so elegant and generous, but she is not less luxurious. Concubine Yu was in the baby, so she asked Zhirong to go to the dormitory to talk.
"Chen Bai Zhirong asks for peace to Niangniang."
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw the plum blossom picture she embroidered, and when I bypassed the screen, I saw the jade concubine half-lying on the soft couch. "Oh, you're here, sit down."
Concubine Yu smiled and moved her fingers slightly, and Mama moved the soft chair and placed it behind Zhirong. Zhirong sat down and saw Concubine Yu's bulging lower abdomen at a glance: "It's really hard for Niangniang to be pregnant with a dragon fetus, and it's really inconvenient for Weichen to come to disturb her, for fear of startling the dragon fetus." β
"It doesn't matter, Wei Shanggong said that the fetal image of this palace is very stable, and it is good to walk around and talk more. But I'm sorry for this palace, you are sick and still have to come to accompany me. Concubine Yu spoke very politely, and Zhirong was even more uneasy.
"Niangniang needs to have a baby, my health is not good, if I am too sick, it will be bad for my mother. It's just that Weichen heard Mama say that Niangniang has news about Young Master Yan, so he dared to disturb. β
"Of course there is, Yanhua and I often correspond, and occasionally mention you, saying that I hope to accept you as a wife in the future." Concubine Yu was still smiling, but her tone was sarcastic.
Flat wife? Zhirong sneered in his heart, what do you know, I love Yanhua, he will only have no one else, this is also a promise he made personally.
It seems that this jade concubine's chat is fake, and she is really angry, if she really believes it, she will be tricked.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Concubine Yu said: "I am Yan Hua's aunt in terms of generation, and I naturally know about his marriage, the Yan family's housewife already has a daughter-in-law in the picture, don't you know?" Yan Hua has always been obedient, and marriage will be no exception, and I heard that Yan Hua also likes that woman very much. Lord Bai, I don't think you have to be sad, your wife is not bad, at least you have a name. β
Zhirong stared at her coldly, did this woman want to drive a wedge between her and Yan Hua and make her lose confidence in Yan Hua? What a joke.
"Niangniang doesn't have to say such things to me, and she doesn't have to tell me which one that woman is. I believe that Yanhua will be enough. β
Concubine Yu pouted: "If you don't believe it, I can't do it, okay, I'm tired." β
Zhirong saluted and walked out, and the jade concubine looked at her back and smiled weirdly.
At this time, it was already dark, Zhirong and Chunhua were walking on the road, what she didn't know was that there was about to be a palace change in the Qinzheng Hall that she was about to pass by! (To be continued......)
