Chapter 23 The Mansion of the State of Qin

The Mansion of the State of Qin is located on the east side of the Bianhe River at the corner of the Imperial Garden, close to the Imperial Garden, with beautiful scenery.

However, because it was built next to the river embankment and blocked the water of the Bianhe River for the imperial city, they bore the brunt of this flood.

Although Meng Chang surrendered, the generals of Houshu did not surrender, and Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that Meng Chang would collude with the opposition forces, so he could only feel at ease by putting it under his nose.

Along the muddy road, a group of people rushed to the south gate of the Qin State Mansion and found that half of the houses here were half submerged in water.

Although the forbidden army sent a lot of people over, they couldn't save the houses here, so they could only help move personnel and materials to higher places.

Because there was half a meter of water everywhere, the perimeter protection here was not strict, and Zhao Dezhao and the others came to the original porch without being blocked.

It's just that they waded all the way to the water, covered in mud, like refugees fleeing the famine, without any heroism.

But a group of young people giggled, not taking the embarrassed appearance seriously.

It was already dark, and they didn't reach the porch until they were spotted by the Forbidden Army and blocked the doorway.

And the two forbidden soldiers who reported the news, seeing that a group of nobles were already blocking the door, cowered and did not dare to approach on the other side.

Zhao Dezhao saw this scene, and then saw that the Qin State Mansion was loose outside and tight inside, and the main hall was brightly lit, and he felt that he had come to the right place today.

The forbidden army responsible for rescuing the Qin State Mansion was headed by the capital head Fei Sixian, but they were all under the jurisdiction of Pan Weide, the general of the palace envoy.

Fei Sixian asked people to call Pan Weide while explaining to everyone. "Brothers, now that the Qin State Mansion is flooded, there is a panic, even if you want to see Mrs. Hua Rui, you shouldn't ...... at this time. Tomorrow during the day, you brothers will come, and we will be hospitable. ”

Zhao Dezhao saw a person who shouldn't be here, and couldn't help but speak: "The lights are bright on the side of the main hall when I see it, obviously it is the time to be lively, won't you miss the show tomorrow?" ”

"What's the fun with that?"

Zhao Dezhao pointed to Zhao Guangyi, who was hiding on the side, and asked Cui Che, "If there is no good show, how can my third uncle's engagement be here?" ”

Cui Che was originally hiding in the shadows on the side, but he was unexpectedly pointed out by Zhao Dezhao, so he could only come out to salute. "Second brother, the minister was ordered to come to the Qin State Mansion to comfort the army, but he didn't come to see the excitement."

Zhao Dezhao asked rhetorically: "How can there be three watches in the middle of the night to come to comfort, are you bullying me for not understanding military affairs?" ”

Shi Baoxing, who was anxious, was too lazy to entangle here, and said loudly: "Just go in and take a look, if there is excitement, we will also help to have fun, and if it is not lively, we will take a look at Mrs. Hua Rui and go back to continue drinking." ”

Cui Che said loudly: "Brothers, after all, Mrs. Hua Rui is the concubine of Houshu, how can she be so blasphemous?" Do you think of her as a sister in the kiln? ”

But no one paid attention to his words at all, how could a group of noble children care about his opinion.

At this time, Pan Weide got the news and came out. "Your brothers have such a Yaxing, it is a great blessing to visit the United States at night, but tonight is very unfortunate, Qin Guogong is seriously ill, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests."

Pan Weide is the eldest son of Pan Mei, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, Pan Mei is not the traitor in "Yang Family General", in fact, he is a truly loyal and honest generation of famous generals.

After the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Pan Mei was the first representative to help Zhao Kuangyin meet with the hundred officials, read the holy decree, and appease the hundred officials.

Li Chongjin rebelled, Zhao Kuangyin personally conquered, and Pan Mei was his assistant to the camp supervisor, which was deeply valued by Zhao Kuangyin.

Today's Pan Mei crossed the Yangtze River and entered Hunan in later generations, helping the Song Dynasty expand its territory.

Now he has occupied most of the territory of the original Chu State, defeated the major generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and occupied almost most of the territory of Hunan.

However, because of his great reputation and loyalty to Zhao Kuangyin, he was jealous of Zhao Guangyi in later generations.

This general who conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the era of Zhao Guangyi, he became a deputy when he attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, and later he was set up by Zhao Guangyi as an envoy of the Southern Yuan, and was crowned as the third division of the Kaifu Yitong.

Pan Mei fought in Hunan, and almost all of his sons went with him. Only Pan Weide, the eldest son, served as the general of the palace envoy and did not accompany the army.

The palace envoy is just a position, not a real general, just like the Han general of the Ming Dynasty, who is actually a gatekeeper.

However, this position is for Zhao Kuangyin, and he belongs to an absolute henchman.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Dezhao somewhat understood. Now that he has appeared here, in the case of Meng Chang's mysterious death, Zhao Kuangyin can't be cleared.

But why is Cui Che here?

As one of Zhao Guangyi's henchmen, it cannot be a coincidence that he appeared in the Qin State Mansion during this time period.

Hearing Pan Weide's words, the boiling hearts of a group of young people cooled down.

Meng Chang is seriously ill, and they still have to go to see Meng Chang's wife at this time, which is indeed a bit out of place.

This can no longer be disguised by the frivolity of young people, but is ignorance.

Zhao Dezhao opened his mouth and said: "Qin Guogong is seriously ill, what kind of illness is it? Acute or Palette? Is there any help? Can you notify other generals and subordinates of Hou Shu in this matter? Is there a notice that the prince of Shu and Qin can use the imperial doctor? ”

Pan Weide is only twenty-four years old this year, and he was originally dizzy because of Qin Guogong's mess, but when he heard Zhao Dezhao's inquiry, he shook his head and said, "I have a sudden illness, and I haven't had time to inform others." ”

Zhao Dezhao said loudly: "How can you do this!" Brother Wei De is trapped in my father's emperor and unkind! ”

Although Pan Weide is commensurate with Zhao Dezhao's brother on weekdays, when he heard Zhao Dezhao's questioning at this time, he killed his heart......

He knelt down despite the ankle-sinking sewage on the ground. "Weide doesn't dare."

Zhao Dezhao said loudly: "The Duke of Qin is a generation of kings, and now he has encountered a crisis in just a few days after he descended on my Song. If it is not handled properly, it will make him feel cold, wouldn't he feel cold in his lips and teeth? In the future, my Song Dynasty will attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty, and the dynasties will take the matter of Qin Guogong as a mirror, won't they have to fight until they don't surrender?

Qin Guogong's serious illness is just a trivial matter, but it involves my Great Song Dynasty's plan to dominate the world, and we must not be negligent.

Brothers, quickly follow me into the hall, and as a bystander, record all the events before and after Qin Guogong's serious illness.

Brother Weide, you have a heavy responsibility, quickly send someone to the city, inform the Hou Shu generals of the serious illness of Qin Guogong, and summon the famous doctors in the city, don't wait for them. ”

Pan Weide was shocked by Zhao Dezhao's words. If Meng Chang died today, and he was the top general on the scene, this matter would be unshirkable.

Cui Che suddenly jumped out at this time and said loudly: "Second brother, don't ......"

Zhao Dezhao glanced at him and asked, "Why not?" ”

Cui Che said: "Now that the Duke of Qin has suddenly fallen ill, and the matter has not yet been clarified, if the city is full of wind and rain, wouldn't it give the Hou Shu generals a chance to make trouble?" Kaifeng Mansion suffered from floods, and the city was full of wind and rain, so there should be no more chaos at this time. It is not too late to inform others until the facts are clarified......"

Zhao Dezhao took two steps forward, glared at Cui Che and said, "If Qin Guogong doesn't die, there is still room for relaxation in this matter, what if he dies?" ”

Cui Che bowed down and said: "The fate of Qin Guogong is small, and the stability of Kaifeng Mansion is big. ”

Zhao Dezhao pulled out his long sword, pressed it against Cui Che's throat, and said loudly: "Bastard! Alarmists, those who are as timid as a mouse, are the bad things you are waiting for.

Qin Guogong was in power, and he didn't make any waves, and now he and his generals are all in the capital division of my Song Dynasty, how much trouble can he make?

But if you can't let the world know about this, the public opinion it will cause is the real crisis! ”

Before Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, Han Chongxun, who usually admired Zhao Dezhao the most, suddenly jumped up and kicked him in the chest.

"The second brother is the prince, everything you say and do is for me Song Sheji, what kind of identity are you, you dare to stop us?"

Although Cui Che is over thirty years old, he is a scribe, and he was originally held by Zhao Dezhao to his throat, and his soul was frightened and his body stiffened.

was kicked by Han Chongxun, and his body fell down and fell into the sewage.

The other noble sons are also arrogant, and after drinking, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they shout and kill one by one.

Zhao Dezhao rushed into the Qin State Mansion with a group of brothers and rushed directly to the main hall.

Cui Che was half-crooked in the water, not daring to raise his head, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

The news had already been obtained here in the main hall, and when Zhao Dezhao and the others reached the bottom of the steps, a white-faced waiter in his forties greeted him out of the main hall. "Our family has seen the second brother."

Zhao Dezhao recognized him as Meng Kuan, one of the six internal servants of the palace, who was the chief eunuch of the palace internal servant province, and was in the Han Dynasty, which was the position of the inner attendant.

Zhao Dezhao suspected that he had also played a disgraceful role in this matter, and asked coldly, "What is the current situation of Qin Guogong?" ”

Meng Kuan sighed and said, "Since the second brother is here, let's come in and have a look." Brothers, the relatives of the Duke of Qin are all here, and I hope not to disturb them. ”

In the face of this inner prison where their father is also polite, a group of second generations dare not be arrogant anymore, and they should be loud one by one.

A few of them couldn't resist scraping the mud off their feet on the steps, washing their faces in the water, and smoothing their clothes.

At the entrance of the main hall, an old woman greeted Zhao Dezhao and others with a group of female dependents such as Mrs. Hua Rui, who was Meng Chang's mother, Mrs. Li.

She also left a small page in history, Meng Chang surrendered, she followed her to Kaifeng Mansion, and was named Mrs. Tai.

After Meng Chang's death, she didn't cry, and drank at Meng Chang's funeral, saying: "You can't die a martyrdom, you are greedy for life so far, I also live in the world because of you, and I can't bear to die." Now that you're dead, what's the point of me living? ”

After arranging the lives of Meng Chang's descendants, she went on a hunger strike for several days and died.

Although this Meng Chang is a soft bone, his mother and his daughter-in-law are all temperamental women.

Zhao Dezhao didn't wait for her to bow down, so he stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and said, "Don't be polite, Mrs. Tai, it just happens that the Duke of Qin is in danger, and everything is simple." I'll take a look at Qin Guogong first, and I'll definitely cure him, and I'll talk to you later." ”
