Lantern Festival, 10 days off.

King Ning, as in previous years, paid tribute to the emperor countless lanterns, and the emperor happily accepted them as usual.

There is also a rehearsal for the Lantern Festival, and the lanterns must be tried on the 14th night of the first lunar month.

There is a large mansion in Beijing, and there are many visitors on weekdays, but now it is extremely deserted, and even the lanterns dare not hang too much.

At night, the streets and alleys in the city have tried their lights, and the city of Beijing instantly becomes brightly lit. The servant Si Yue came to the side door of this house in disguise, knocked on the door and flashed in, and went straight to the inner hall.

"Son-in-law, meet Lord Taishan!" Si Yue made a straight gesture.

Si Yue's father-in-law is called Zang Xian, whose name is good, and he is from Xia County, Shanxi.

Zang Xian is tall and thin, with a clear face, beard, and extraordinary bearing. At first glance, I thought he was a high-ranking official in the DPRK, but how could I guess that he was just a lowly and happy household?

is this lowly and happy household, and the ministers are vying for it, and they can even marry three of their daughters to civil officials. The god of Mount Tai is Bixia Yuanjun, the god of Mount Tai was worshiped by the imperial court, and he also sent this Lehu to preside over the ceremony.

If Zang Xian is copied from his home, he can at least copy out millions of taels of silver!

At this moment, Zang Xian was very nervous, and said in horror: "At such a time, how dare you come to the capital?" Don't die! ”

Si Yue looked around, lowered his voice and said, "A month ago, someone went back to Jiangxi to report that the news in the capital was wrong, so the prince asked me to come back to visit my relatives. As soon as I arrived in the capital, I heard that Qian Ning was dead, and I was so frightened that I immediately hid. Lord Taishan, did the prince really happen? ”

"It must have happened, you should leave quickly," Zang Xian said worriedly, "After the Lantern Festival, I will also resign and return to my hometown, and it will be too late if I don't leave!" ”

A musician actually uses the word "resign and return to his hometown".

And he really resigned, after Liu Jin was ambushed, Zang Xian resigned because of illness. Zhu Houzhao not only did not allow it, but also forcibly retained him and promoted him to Fengluan (the head of the Teaching Workshop Division) to appease Zang Xian's fear.

Some time ago, Zang Xian resigned again, but he was still retained by Zhu Houzhao.

Si Yue was the son-in-law of Zang Xian when he was not developed, and he was exiled to Nanchang for committing crimes, so he knew King Ning. After Zang Xian was favored by the emperor, King Ning immediately bribed Zang Xian with a lot of money through Si Yue.

At first, he just asked Zang Xian to inquire about the emperor's news, but he couldn't get off after getting on the thief ship.

Today, Zang Xian's mansion has become the base camp of King Ning's secret activities in the capital!

Why is Qian Ning dead and Zang Xian still alive?

Because according to Li Sanlang's investigation results, it was found that Zang Xian involved too many people, including Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Rui, Shang Zhong, Lu Ming, Qin Yong, Zhao Xiu, and so on.

You must know that Zhang Xiong is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, Zhang Zhong is in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, Zhang Rui is the commander of the East Factory, plus Qian Ning, who controls the Jinyi Guard...... It's horrible!

Li Ying handed over the results of the investigation to the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was shocked into a cold sweat. The places where he usually sleeps, eats, reads, practices martial arts, and plays have King Ning's eyeliner everywhere, and the leopard room and the Forbidden City have been infiltrated into a sieve.

As a result, Zhu Houzhao quickly replaced Zhang Xiong and Zhang Zhong, and let Zhang Yun return to the helm of the celebrant supervisor, and Gu Dayong returned to take charge of the imperial horse supervisor. After taking back the military and political power, he dared to kill Shang Zhong, Lu Ming, Qin Yong and other eunuchs.

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Rui, with the time name "Sanzhang", were all thrown by the emperor to guard the mausoleum, and they left Beijing quietly.

Zhu Ying, a eunuch who had followed Wang Yuan to fight many times, was unlucky this time and replaced Zhang Rui as the governor of Dongchang.

That is to say, the commanders of Dongchang and Jinyi Wei were all replaced by Wang Yuan's old friends!

Si Yue has already become King Ning's confidant, one is prosperous, and one is lost, and he immediately said: "Lord Taishan, it is better to go to Jiangxi with your son-in-law." The dog emperor is absurd, the people of the world are not happy, the prince has been secretly preparing for more than ten years, and he will definitely be able to follow the story of Taizong and enter Beijing to ascend the throne as a ......"

Zang Xian hurriedly covered his son-in-law's mouth, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Crazy, you are all crazy, I shouldn't have gone crazy with you in the first place." Do you think that today's saint is Zhu Yunwen? He can fight, and cut down all the little Mongolian princes! There is also that Wang Erlang, who has been on the battlefield for many years and has never been defeated. King Ning is comparable to the little prince of Mongolia? ”

Si Yue broke free and asked, "Lord Taishan, what is the situation in Jingzhong?" The people sent by the prince before, but now they can't get any news. The people who pay tribute to the lanterns can't find out the recent situation in the palace. ”

Zang Xian said depressedly: "Who dares to contact you now? Even I haven't been out for a month. Just wait for the end of the Lantern Festival, I will resign again, if I am lucky, I can return to my hometown, and if I am unlucky, I will have to follow in the footsteps of Qian Ning! ”

"Tarzan ......"

Si Yue wanted to persuade his father-in-law to give King Ning his life again, but suddenly there was a commotion outside.

A servant rushed in: "Master, it's not good, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are here!" ”

Zang Xian instantly sat on the ground, unable to speak for a long time, and his son-in-law Si Yue immediately slipped away.

Zang Xian's position is to teach the workshop to Fengluan, and he belongs to Lehu. He has committed a crime, and the Criminal Department has no authority to directly arrest and interrogate, so he must first obey the Ministry of Rites.

But it's Dongchang and Jinyiwei who came back!

Li Ying commanded his subordinates to raid their homes, and for a while the crying and wailing shook the sky.

Zhu Ying led his subordinates straight to the inner hall, with two eunuchs behind him, one holding white silk and the other holding poisonous wine.

Zhu Ying rolled up his sleeves and said with a sympathetic smile: "Zang Fengluan, Your Majesty remembers the old love, leave you a whole corpse, and choose the one you can go on the road yourself." ”

Zang Xian quickly regained his composure, got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and said, "Your Majesty really misses the old." I think I am a lowly musician, but I can make millions of dollars and live in a mansion, and the princess will greet me when he sees it, that is, the god of Mount Tai is also worshiped by me. So tolerant, what are the regrets? ”

Zhu Ying sneered: "Your Majesty treats you so politely, but you colluded with King Ning to rebel, it's really damned!" ”

Zang Xian sighed and said, "One wrong step, one wrong step." At first, I thought that King Ning just wanted to restore the guards, and then I thought that he wanted to pass on his son to His Majesty. When I guessed that he wanted to rebel, he had already boarded the thief ship, and I regretted it very much. By the way, congratulations to Duke Zhu. The first time we met, you were not surnamed Zhu, you were just a little eunuch, and now you are also in charge of Dongchang. ”

Zhu Ying arched his hand towards the north and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Zang Xian shook his head and said, "You are with the right person, and you have won two battles with Wang Erlang." People are dying, and their words are also good, I advise you, don't get too close to Wang Erlang, otherwise you will be jealous of the new emperor in the future! ”

Zhu Ying was a little unhappy: "It's all dying, and there is a lot of nonsense, choose Bai Aya or Wine?" ”

"Drink the bar, it's too much trouble to hang yourself." Zang Xian is quite chic.

According to modern terms, Zang Xian belongs to musicians and writers. He is good at poetry, especially in composing loose songs, and often creates his own music cards, otherwise how could he get into Zhu Houzhao's eyes?

There is poetry and writing in his belly, and Zang Xian has an extraordinary bearing.

As if an ordinary feast, he picked up the wine jug, poured it into the cup slowly, and carefully tasted it: "The fragrance is far away, and the sweetness is pleasant." Your Majesty treats me well, and even sent me on the road with high-quality Wuzhou Jinhua wine...... Whoever will take my lute? ”

No one answered.

The head of the sect only smiled, drank a cup of poisoned wine, and sat in front of the hall waiting to die.

After confirming that Zang Xian was dead, Zhu Ying immediately returned to the leopard room to resume his life, while Li Ying was still slowly raiding his home. Zangfu is the capital base camp of King Ning, and he not only has to search for property, but also has to search for all kinds of evidence of rebellion.

……

A few days later, the leopard room.

Zhu Houzhao slapped the cannon in his hand and suddenly said: "Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Rui, Zang Xian...... I have treated them badly one by one, why do I have to turn against them all? ”

Jiang Bin stubbornly said: "These people are wolfish and ambitious, and they don't think about the grace of the saints, and they deserve to be severely punished!" ”

The power of the capital has been reshuffled, and the chief officials of the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the Dongchang, the Jinyi Guard, the three law divisions and other departments have all been changed now. In exchange, Zhu Houzhao himself was frightened, and he didn't dare to pursue it any further, and he also burned the letters he collected from Zang Xian's house.

"The capital is not fun, it is very boring, and the border town is still happy," Zhu Houzhao sighed with emotion, and said with an evasive mentality, "It would be good if I were a general, I could do whatever I wanted, and I could fight on the battlefield to my heart's content." ”

Jiang Bin was not satisfied with being the crown prince and the governor of the left capital of the rear army, and he still thought about military merits in his heart. Because he is a border general, only by constantly fighting can he maintain the emperor's favor, and immediately instigated: "Since Your Majesty wants to harvest Daning City, why don't you go to Xifengkou?" ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "Erlang and I have already made up our minds to intimidate Duoyan Sanwei and let them hand over the protons, but now the household department has no money to fight." ”

Jiang Bin said with a smile: "Your Majesty has returned victorious, how can Duoyan Sanwei dare to rebel?" It is better to only gather thousands of border troops, and His Majesty is personally stationed at Xifengkou, which is said to be the Son of Heaven guarding the country. In this way, Duoyan Sanwei must have been scared to death, crying and begging to send protons to Beijing, and also to cooperate with Wang Shilang to complete the plan. ”

"That's right!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily: "I went to Xifengkou and scared Duoyan Sanwei so much that I couldn't sleep. Let's go, let's guard the country. ”

The emperor slipped away again, the Lantern Festival was not over, and the goods slipped out of the capital and went straight to Xifengkou. He even rode over the Great Wall, ran to the grassland, and hunted a rabbit with his own hands.
