No.324 The waves are about to rise
The sixth prince didn't immediately hear the meaning of Zhou Boyan's words, and began to scold Lao Tzu angrily, "Lao Tzu is born to protect his shortcomings, so Lao Tzu doesn't care what others say." Which one hurts Lao Tzu's baby daughter, Lao Tzu has to chop which turtle king is indispensable. ”
Zhou Boyan turned his face gloomily and stared at a certain point in the room, and there was a certain light in his eyes that flickered and flickered.
The sixth prince is very irritable. He didn't accept Zhou Boyan's attitude, so he grabbed Zhou Boyan's shoulders and forcefully made Zhou Boyan turn his face. He raised his other hand and pointed at Zhou Boyan's nose, "You kid, which turtle king did it?" Are you out there causing some enemies? ”
Zhou Boyan's expression was still very gloomy, and his voice was low, sounding a little desolate, "Uncle Liuwang, after my father and mother passed away one after another, after I was attacked several times, I found many doubts about my father's death. Then I understood that in this world, I have an enemy. And this enemy is not something I took the initiative to provoke. Even if I don't seek revenge, my enemies are not ready to let me go. ”
Hearing this, the fingers of the sixth prince pointed to the nose of the person stiffened.
Zhou Boyan turned his face again and said indifferently, "My father is dead, and the blame is attributed to the Wu family." My mother died, but the blame still fell on the Wu clan. But smart people know that the Wu clan is guilty, but it is just a chess piece in the hands of others. All the charges were taken by the Wu family, and the real behind-the-scenes manipulators did not surface at all. ”
The sixth prince had a chill down his spine, put down his hand weakly, bowed his head and said nothing.
Zhou Boyan said again, "Uncle Liuwang, I know that you are not a straw bag. There are some things that you can see better than anyone else. You were aware of what happened back then, but you were powerless to stop it. Caught between a dilemma, you took the risk of sending a secret letter to my father. Because of that secret letter, my father and mother took me out of Beijing and wanted to go to Xichang to avoid trouble. Unfortunately, they were unable to get out of Qixia Pass and set foot on the border of Xichang Kingdom. ”
Now that I think about it, what if my father and mother stepped into the border of Xichang at that time? You can't settle down in your own country, and when you go to another country, your fate is completely in the hands of others. The emperor's uncles who had already ascended the throne couldn't protect them, how could Yelu Hao, who was just a prince at the time, protect them? Besides, if it weren't for him, how could my father agree to defect to Yelu Haozhen! The relationship between Dad and Yeluhao is really so awkward, Xichangguo is really not a good choice.
He turned his face and looked at the gloomy face of the sixth prince, "Uncle Liuwang, this arrow of the county lord will not be in vain. Just because I can't touch that person doesn't mean I can't clean up the lackeys around him. ”
The sixth prince turned his face, and the hand hanging by his side trembled a little.
"Purple." Zhou Boyan said the name, then clenched his fists, "I'm going to get rid of her." "Uncle Six Princes doesn't have to be involved in these things. You make a fuss about yours, I'll do mine. What I owe to the county lord, I will avenge the county lord. The county lord didn't have to be injured, but she gave up her life to block in front of Ah Shu, and blocked the arrow that the eagle guard blocked with her own body. She is kind to Ashu, and she is kind to him. He owes her once.
The sixth prince wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't say it, and stood there in a daze. After a while, he suddenly yelled, "Zhou Boyan, if Yun'er has three long and two short, Lao Tzu will not spare you." You kid, check, check carefully for this king, if you can't catch the murderer, this king will definitely chop you up. He yelled, flicked his sleeves, and walked out. Walking to the closed door, he lifted his foot. With a bang, the door panel trembled twice. "It's against this king, damn it." While scolding, he vigorously pulled the door open and left.
Zhou Boyan stared at the wide open door with a cold face, thinking about his thoughts. He has always had only one enemy in his heart. Over the years, whether it is a prince or a famous son in Beijing, whenever he returns to Beijing, there are always people who provoke him. As long as the other party doesn't do too much, he doesn't pay attention to it at all. Because compared to the blood feud of my father and mother, those are nothing at all. The enemy who killed his father and mother made him lose his youth and make him wander alone. He didn't know anything at first, but thought it was all the fault of the Wu clan.
However, he was far away and encountered the Assassin for no apparent reason. When he doubted, he would think, and think of many things, of the reason for the Assassin's appearance. He remembered a lot. Remembering some of the words I had overheard; When he remembered telling his father about the eavesdropping, his father's solemn face and warned him not to say anything about it. Suspicions hit his heart, and he had to start tracking. It's just that if he tracks it down, he will die. The more he investigates, the more people involved will die. The other party may think that this will deter him and bury the truth. But the more the other party is like this, the more he is telling him that the direction he is pursuing is correct, and he is not far from the truth.
Now, he already knows who the enemy is. It was Qing Shu who helped him find a breakthrough and found the name Ziyi for him from the Gu Ye clan.
Ziyi, when she was on duty in the palace many years ago, she was the big palace maid next to Concubine Xiao (later Concubine Xiao, now locked up in the cold palace). Later, when she reached the prescribed age, she was granted permission and was released from the palace. This is on the surface. In fact, Ziyi has always been the queen mother's person.
He will know that he was naughty and playful when he was young, and once when he was playing hide and seek with the little princes at that time in the palace, he inadvertently ran into the cold palace while people were not paying attention. The cold palace is overgrown with weeds, dense and high, not to mention children, even adults hiding in it are not easy to be discovered.
Ziyi and Caixia (the second-class palace maid next to the Queen Mother at that time) met in the cold palace. They didn't know that he was hiding in the grass, and the two men began to talk. Caixia came to explain the task to Ziyi. Caixia said that the Queen Mother did not allow Concubine Xiao to conceive a dragon, and the Xiao family was not allowed to sit big at present, so she asked Ziyi to add something to Concubine Xiao's diet, and gave Ziyi a small paper bag. Ziyi said that the things that the Queen Mother had explained before were already a little eyebrow-raising, and there would be results in a few days. Then, one after the other, they departed.
At that time, he was still young, where did he understand the dirty things in the palace. Enough fun, he was sent back to the eldest princess's mansion in the evening, he showed off his ability to hide, and told his father and mother what he overheard. The mother immediately became angry and asked him to kneel. Dad didn't allow it, but he also acted very angry, took him back to the house, reasoned with him, and did not allow him to enter the palace again, so that he would forget what he had heard.
That night, he slept in his father's house. I was sleeping soundly, but I was awakened by the sound of broken porcelain. He got barefoot on the ground and peeked out through the door. Mom and Dad are arguing outside. To be precise, it was my mother who was arguing, and my father was sitting silently. The mother complained that his father was too indulgent and did not discipline him well, saying that sooner or later he would cause death to the princess's mansion. The mother also said that if the Queen Mother knew that the identity of Ziyi was exposed, she would only stay out of the matter and never clean up the mess for him.
Dad still didn't say anything, and my mother smashed things. He was scared, and as he stepped back, he bumped into something and made a noise. My mother found him and rushed over to grab him, and it hurt him a lot. At that time, his mother looked at him with terrible eyes, as if she was going to eat him alive. Dad grabbed him, protected him, and only said two words: Our father and son will leave Beijing tomorrow. The princess thinks that our father and son are eyesore, and I don't want the princess's affair to taint Yan'er's ears.
Dad's expression when he said this, and his calm tone when he said this, he has never forgotten it. When he understood the meaning of his father's words and heard all kinds of rumors about his mother's affairs, he was in pain, and he felt that he couldn't raise his head in front of people. None of this matters. The important thing is that he firmly remembered the names Ziyi and Caixia, and the fact that these two were the queen mother's henchmen. After his father's accident, when he was wandering outside, Ziyi appeared beside him more than once.
Therefore, when Ah Shu gave him the name "Purple Clothes", he thought of the clues that would be broken halfway through the investigation, and immediately understood. The enemy he is looking for is none other than the empress dowager. He didn't understand, why couldn't the Queen Mother tolerate his father and mother, why couldn't she tolerate him? His mother is the eldest princess and the biological daughter of the Queen Mother. How did the Queen Mother get her hands on it?
After guessing who the enemy was, he took a chance to find out something. The results confirmed his guess one by one. He had to face the facts, and he couldn't deceive himself at all.
He thought it was ridiculous. Many years ago, the emperor tried every means to protect the lives of his eldest sister and brother-in-law, but ultimately failed; At the same time, the Queen Mother secretly racked her brains to kill her daughter and son-in-law, and finally succeeded. It's so ironic. The power competition between the emperor and the queen mother sacrificed his father, or did his father and mother get in the way of the queen mother and was killed?
Now that I think about it, the latter is more likely. The Queen Mother is extremely controlling. She is greedy for power, and she wants to control everything, including the emperor. But after the emperor ascended the throne, his mother did her best to assist the emperor. The new emperor's imperial bearing and mother's limelight soon overshadowed the queen mother. At the same time, the Queen Mother was forced to be helpless, and the hand that was stretched into the court had to be withdrawn. Looking at it this way, the mother has become a stumbling block on the road to the queen mother's power. The Queen Mother wants to get rid of her mother, it makes sense.
However, there are still two doubts.
The first doubt. The Queen Mother and his mother are the closest mother and daughter, and many of the things that the mother did were instructed by the Queen Mother. Including helping the crown prince ascend the throne, including later assisting the new emperor to control the entire court, etc. When did this mother and daughter start to turn against each other? What makes them turn against their purpose?
The second doubt. Whether it is Chu Feng, who died young, or Hao, who was hunted down and killed at birth, what they have in common is that they were born to the same mother, and they were born to the eldest princess. He was also the son of the eldest princess, and he was also assassinated several times. The eldest princess doesn't love her son, not any of them. At the same time, someone can't tolerate the son born to the eldest princess, no matter what the son's surname is? For what? If this matter was also done by the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother's deal with the eldest princess was not a whim, but a premeditated plan. The reason?
"Childe, Miss is awake." Gu Shishi rushed in to report.
Zhou Boyan came back to his senses, Huo Di got up, and hurried to the Qingshu house.
