Chapter 249: The Abolished Prince is finally dead

Xuanyuan Zi ran out of oil and dried up many days ago, and after trading with Zhang Xiaowu that day, he lay in bed and couldn't get up, and his feces and urine had to be served by people, and he died of illness within a few days. He has enjoyed the glory and wealth in this life, and he has been on guard all the time, and he has endured it for so many years, and after experiencing a huge blow of failure, he is still crazy.

When Xuanyuan Zi died, there was no one around him except an old handyman, which can be described as extremely sad.

After everyone in Mucheng learned the news of Xuanyuan Zixun's death, their hearts were complicated, in addition to Zhang Xiaowu, there were many people who had enmity with him, but everyone knew that the abolished prince was not such a bad person, so they could only sigh and say in unison: "He is finally dead." ”

But the ritual system of the funeral of the abolished prince is a problem, whether it is according to the royal family etiquette system, or according to the people's etiquette system, even Wu Song, who has read more than 10,000 volumes, is at a loss. According to the imperial etiquette system, they were worried that someone would impeach Mu Cheng for bad intentions, and if it was according to the common people's etiquette system, they were also worried that there would be people who would impeach Mu Cheng for being disrespectful to the royal family.

In the end, it was Hu Li who suggested that Xuanyuan Zixun was also a member of the Qinglong Army, although he was a deserter, he could be regarded as a robe, so it was better to be buried according to the military ceremony. Zhang Xiaowu listened to his suggestion and buried him next to Shi Jing's tomb not far from the north of the city.

On the day of the funeral of the abolished prince Xuanyuanzi, there were a lot of wounded soldiers who stayed in Mucheng to recuperate, but they did not come to mourn, but to scold. Many people scolded and cried bitterly, for themselves and for the robe, fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu ordered that Xuanyuan Zixun's tombstone should not be destroyed, so that no one took revenge on the abolished prince and dug up the grave.

Li Qing took advantage of the time when everyone was paying tribute to the abolished prince, and hurriedly rolled a note that had been written long ago into a roll and stuffed it into a section of reeds, and then stopped in front of an old woman stall selling cooking cakes on the street. After observing left and right, he picked nine cooking cakes and said, "I want these, nine is the supreme number, old grandma, can you wrap it?" ”

The old woman was surprised and said, "Nine cookcakes? Can you eat objectively? ”

"Why can't I eat, I'm a soldier." Li Qing laughed, and inadvertently fell into the cooking cake of the reed festival. The old woman picked out the cooking cakes and took the reed knot into her arms.

Li Qing Zou Zhou, the old woman immediately put away the stall, and when she went home, she took the basket from the roof and opened it, took out the pigeon, and tied the reed knot to the pigeon's leg. It was getting dark, and the old woman saw that there was no one left and right, and immediately released the pigeon, and when she turned around, she was still an old woman who sold cooking cakes that people couldn't notice.

After an hour of flight, the pigeon crossed the Two Wolves Pass and landed in a place called Xigu Village in the Valley of the Two Wolves, which was the only resting place in the narrow Valley of the Two Wolves.

There are more than 200 households in Xigu Village, half of them are in the inn business, and the other half is to provide things for the inn, those who go to the Two Wolf City from Hunzhou and Daizhou, and the guests who go to the Central Plains after entering the Two Wolf City from Saibei, most of them will choose to rest here for a while, or eat something before going on the road.

The pigeon flew to Niu Dawei's house, this Niu Dawei raised more than 100 chickens at home, he made a living from it on weekdays, and a hundred chickens would be sold to various inns every day, his business was really good, and he built a yard and invited four or five tenants who specialized in breeding.

Everyone in Xigu Village knows that Niu Da is a clever man, he not only raises chickens, ducks, geese, and even raises two horses and four dogs.

People also know that Niu Dawei likes to raise pigeons, but this pigeon does not have much meat, and I don't know what he is doing with this thing, it is all a rich man's habit. Niu Dawei fed his lattice himself day and night, and when he habitually went to see his pigeons tonight, he immediately noticed that there was an extra pigeon. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the pigeon, untied the knots of reeds on the pigeon's legs, copied the contents of the note in the knots, and then tied the knots to the legs of the other pigeon. That night, Niu Dawei's subordinates rode their horses and ran in the direction of Longdu, and early the next morning, a pigeon of Niu Dawei's family also flew towards Longdu City at the same time.

This is the double transmission of Jin Yiwei, in order to be on the safe side, after Li Qing sent the letter with the code to the transfer station, Niu Dawei deciphered it, and used carrier pigeons and manpower to pass to Longdu City respectively, so that if the carrier pigeon is unexpected, Jin Yiwei can also ensure that the transmission is successful with the least time.

The two ways for the emperor to obtain information were the local secret letter and the golden secret letter, which was faster and more direct than the local secret letter, and the content of the secret letter was more credible. After Zhang Xiaowu returned to the city, he thanked him, but this twist and turn is still on the way, and Emperor Dade got the golden secret letter of the abolished prince's violent death for the first time.

The abolished prince is dead, and the third brother who has been against him and pressed on his head is dead.

When Emperor Dade got the news, he was painting, and the brushes fell to the ground, and all kinds of feelings poured out in his heart, and after a long time, he cried softly: "Is he dead?" ”

Wang Jingzhi bowed and said: "Yes, he is dead, the last secret letter said that he was already terminally ill, and he died within a few days." Since Dushanbo took power, hundreds of officials have taken refuge with him, and Zhang Dang has also died down, but the Jinyi Guard led by Wang Jingzhi has been loyal to the emperor and has drawn a line with Dushanbo.

Although Dushanbo tried his best to win him over, Wang Jingzhi resolutely did not allow Jinyiwei to have any dealings with Dushanbo, and even killed seventeen Jinyiwei officials who accepted Dushanbo's benefits. Wang Jingzhi also knows that loyalty to His Majesty is the mission of the Golden Guards, and the three thousand Golden Guards have long engraved loyalty to the country in their bones from top to bottom. Wang Jingzhi did not hesitate to find Emperor Dade, swore allegiance to Emperor Dade, and handed over the roster of Jinyiwei to the emperor.

Emperor Dade also praised Wang Jingzhi after receiving all the allegiance of the Golden Guard, and crowned Wang Jingzhi as the third rank of the guard with a sword, and gave Shang Fang a sword. Wang Jingzhi finally no longer had to hide his identity, and he became a golden-clothed guard and a handsome man, and commanded the world's secret agents in the gold-clothed guard's yamen.

Emperor Dade sat on the pear blossom chair, looking at the sunset in the distance, and his heart was full of emotion.

As an emperor, Emperor Dade knew the importance of forbearance, because of forbearance, he finally defeated the third prince Xuanyuan Zixun, and in the face of the sixty-year-old Dushan Bo, what could he not forbear? He is not yet thirty years old this year, even if the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military are all listening to Dushanbo, how many years can he live? And when Emperor Dade was in the most difficult time, Wang Jingzhi, who chose to be loyal to him, was extremely trusted by Emperor Dade, and Wang Jingzhi was also the only foreign minister who brought a knife to meet him.

Emperor Dade pondered for a moment and asked: "Yushuai, this ghost general went to the Inuyi peace talks in person, and also led away the Beiyi and the army of Yao, how do you say to reward it?" ”
