Chapter 55 Misfortune is not a one-way street
When Lan Ziyi returned to King De's Mansion, it was already evening,
What happened that afternoon was a nightmare, and all the people who besieged the king were killed in the fields, and the young man who wanted to avenge his father was found among the fallen corpses, while his sister was missing.
The eunuch sent by the celebrant came from behind, his face was pale with fright, he was surrounded by the old peasant family who asked for the law for a long time and could not get out, and then discussed that each household should pay 300 taels of silver to settle the matter, but after he negotiated there, the news came from the front, and the Imperial Forest Army had already used the knife.
The guards of the Imperial Forest Army gradually regained their senses, and the eunuch in charge had no strength to scold, and in order to prevent the people of the surrounding villages and townships from making any more moves when they heard the news, the eunuch ordered the Imperial Forest Army to rush back to the capital in full gear. Under the organization of Qi Rongxun and Lan Ziyi, the Royal Forest Army rushed back to the capital in a procession.
After bringing the Imperial Forest Army back to the Taicheng garrison, Lan Ziyi and the others returned to the Dewang Mansion.
Lan Ziyi dragged a rain-filled armor back to the deer garden, the Tao brothers had been waiting at the gate of the garden for a long time, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhutu hurriedly came over to unload Lan Ziyi's armor, Tao Zhuhu then saw an obvious knife mark on the front breastplate of the armor, and saw Lan Ziyi's cloak and blood stains on his trouser legs, and asked with concern
"Less...... Guard! What's wrong with you? ”
Lan Ziyi took off his helmet, mentally exhausted, although he held back the fire in his belly all day today, he still felt a lot more relaxed when he saw the Tao brothers at this moment, but he had nowhere to vent the evil fire in his stomach, and he always wanted to attack the Tao brothers.
Lan Ziyi recalled the mood of being angry by King De today, and thought about it, and the sage also said:
"The gentleman doesn't get angry, he doesn't offend" Why did he Lan Ziyi find fault and scold the Tao brothers? So he suppressed the anger in his heart and just shook his head at the Tao brothers.
Tao Zhutu took Lan Ziyi's helmet and asked:
"Wei Hou, I heard that the entourage and the people on the outskirts of the city saw blood today, Wei Hou was not injured."
As soon as he was reminded by the words of Tao Cha Rabbit, Lan Ziyi remembered the scene of the Royal Forest Army killing the people this afternoon, and his heart ached, and he didn't know whether he was sad about the killing of innocent people or worried about what would happen in the future, Lan Ziyi only felt that his thoughts were extremely confused, and he couldn't find the beginning or the end.
Lan Ziyi sighed and said:
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, is the bathwater boiled? I'm going to take a shower. ”
At this time, Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Rabbit had already removed all the armor pieces on Lan Ziyi's body and handed them over to the servants on the side to take them.
Tao Zhutu took down Lan Ziyi's soaked clothes, Tao Zhuhu handed Lan Ziyi a towel, and several people walked to the back hall together, saying while walking Tao Zhuhu:
"Weihou, Zhe'er and they have already boiled the water, you can take a bath with confidence. Get a good night's sleep and rest. ”
Tao Zhulu followed, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lan Ziyi, saying:
"Wei Hou, the letter sent by the general, please take a look."
Lan Ziyi took the letter, walked to the bathroom, dismissed the others and later put them in the bathtub.
The feeling of the slightly hot water soaking his skin made Lan Ziyi feel very relaxed, and his thoughts filled his mind like a mist rising in the bathroom, blurry at first, and then gradually became organized,
Lan Ziyi first thought of the knife that King De slashed himself today, and every time Lan Ziyi thought of this scene, he imagined that he picked up his long sword and poked King De through the cold, but how could he have this idea as a close minister of King De? So the idea was suppressed. The scene where King De cut him disappeared, and was replaced by the beating and insulting that King De had beaten and insulted him since he entered the palace, as well as King De's rude appearance on various occasions, the more Lan Ziyi thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't want to think about these things anymore, and the more he wanted to exclude them all. finally couldn't help but yell, temporarily dissolving the depression in his heart.
Lan Ziyi lay in the bathtub, looking up at the ceiling, looking at the white mist blown out by the wind under the ceiling, Lan Ziyi fell into deep thought again. This time, he thought of the thick loess of Luoyan Pass, the endless grasslands and deserts outside the pass, the small rivers flowing in the pass, and the endless wheat fields. The taste of hometown is always so familiar, and the feeling of hometown is always so good, but why do you want to come to the capital? It doesn't feel like home, and it seems better to stay at home than to come out. At this moment, Lan Ziyi wanted to cry very much, he thought of his mother who loved him, remembered the many people who cared for him, and remembered the Tao brothers at that time.
Lan Ziyi sighed, raised the letter in his hand and tore it open, and then took out the letter by the candlelight next to the bathtub and read it.
Lan Ziyi didn't know what was written in the letter, but he thought it might be his parents' greetings to him, but the greeting came too early.
But when Lan Ziyi began to read the letter, he found that he was thinking simply, his father's letter told him a very serious matter, and this matter was caused by him.
The letter said:
“…… Jiangnan is rainy and humid, Ziyi should also pay attention to his body and add or remove clothes at any time to avoid contracting the wind and cold. The capital is thousands of miles away from home, the water and soil are far apart, if you have diarrhea, you can take three coins of wolfberry, take it with hot water, three times a day, you can stop diarrhea. After you left, your mother missed her very much, and her letter will be delivered today, and you must remember to reply.
The capital is mixed, the hearts of the people are sinister, my son is not deeply involved in the world, and he is very concerned about his father. The peach family has been in my Lan family for three generations, although it is a foreign surname, but there is no difference between it and my own family, and all the brothers of the Tao family who entered Beijing this time are with you, but it also alleviates a lot of worries for my father. Tao Lao Cangtou is loyal to my family, his three sons grew up with you in the house, Tao Zhuhu is with me to fight in Mobei, for the father knows them very well, Tao Zhuhu is loyal and brave, Tao Zhulu is thoughtful, although Tao Zhutu is profligate, but kind-hearted, I have something to do with these three people, do not act arbitrarily, listen to slander, not afraid of villains around you, afraid of you treat them as gentlemen.
Recently, there is another incident, in fact, Ziyi, a few days after you set off, I received a letter from the old capital Taishou Luo Yingmin, in which Lord Luo explained to me that the batch of military rations sent to the north was robbed, thinking that it was the lack of education and education of the academic and political officials, and Nuo Nuo made a secret provocation, causing the people to make a rebellion, stealing military rations without permission, and the rebellious people led by them have all been beheaded, I hope I know. I didn't understand why he had to explain this matter to me, after all, the war in the north was over, and the last batch of military rations was sent to accommodate the Nuo tribes and the damaged border people in the north of my Taizheng. Moreover, only three counties were robbed, and the food consumption was not large once the war ended. Later, I heard that this matter seems to be related to you, just now Luo Yingmin sent me a letter, accusing me of impeaching him for no reason, he was too guarded by one party, to protect the people's safety, but he was scolded for being tortured to extract confessions, and he lost his conscience to the mediocre and decrepit, he will immediately write to the emperor to impeach me, it is precisely because of our northern army that the chaos has broken out everywhere, and the people are not happy. The words of the letter are intense, and the anger is unusual. I have also just learned that the horses, cattle and sheep seized from my Beizhen, sent to the old capital, and sold to various parts of the south through the old capital have been detained by Luo Yingmin.
I have written to him to explain that there is no such thing, and that I will be sent to the old capital as soon as possible. Luo Yingmin is indeed mediocre, but he has always been an important supporter of my Beizhen Army, the old capital is an important town in the north, and the river **** is an important provider of money and food in Beizhen, although I don't like him, but the cooperation between the two parties has always been close, this time Luo Yingmin suddenly turned his face with me It is very unreasonable, not to mention that he is a northerner, and now he is a member of the central government, more than half of the Taishou in various places are Jiangdong scholars, and he has very opinions about our hereditary martial arts, and has always insisted on disarmament, even if he supports it, he also supports the Eastern Army, and the most important pillar of my Northern Army in the DPRK is Yu Gonggong, The second is these foreign soldiers who are willing to support the Northern Army. Was Wu'er bewitched in the capital and impeached Luo Yingmin? This matter has a great impact and must not be taken lightly. I have heard the news here that some people in the DPRK and China are planning to send the displaced people from the interior to the north, and if this is true, it will be an extraordinary blow to our northern army. At this time, the bloody battle was narrowly won, and the North Town was really unable to support such an immigration operation. Ziyi, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the capital, and remember that you are not alone, but on behalf of hundreds of thousands of border soldiers and civilians in Beizhen. If Ziyi really impeached Luo Yingmin, you should immediately write a book to explain the matter, and he must not be impeached. Secondly, you should inquire about the news of the capital, if someone really plans to immigrate to Shibian, you must first stop this matter with Gonggong Yu, I don't know how you get along with King De, can you use the power of King De to stop this matter......"
Lan Ziyi sat in the bathtub, his expression was constantly changing as he read, and his heart was like a long river bursting its banks, an ocean, and he didn't know what his feelings were and where they were going.
He felt upset, although he had been talking about it for a long time, it sounded annoying, and the most important thing was that it was Zhang Zhongtang who impeached Luo Yingmin, in Lan Ziyi's impression, it seemed that there was no such thing at all in the past few days, he almost forgot, how did Luo Yingmin know?
Lan Ziyi's mind was a mess, but he felt that the bath tub was too hot, and he couldn't sit still anymore.
Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up, grabbed a blanket and wiped it casually, wrapped it around his waist and pushed the door out.
The maid who was waiting at the door heard the movement and turned around to find that Lan Ziyi had already walked out, hurriedly stepped forward with her coat, and said:
"Why didn't Wei Hou say it? The slave maid gives you the clothes, you ...... so easily"
Lan Ziyi didn't listen to the maid after speaking, grabbed his coat and put it on his body and walked to the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Tao brothers sitting in the house waiting, and Tao Zhutu asked:
"Less...... Why did Wei Hou come out dressed like this? What should I do if I get a cold? ”
Tao Zhulu asked:
"Young master, what did the general's letter say?"
Lan Ziyi was upset, and only said:
"I didn't say anything, you don't have to worry about me, go to sleep."
As he spoke, he walked into his room and closed the door, leaving the Tao brothers stunned in the hall.
Lan Ziyi lit the oil lamp, polished the ink, and wrote:
"..... I personally experienced the grain robbery incident, and this incident was just a stupid thing made by the people on impulse, and it was definitely not what Luo Yingmin called 'careful demagogy'. At that time, I was also arrested by Luo Yingmin and put in prison, and I saw with my own eyes that his cruel officials tortured innocent people to confess, and used all means, and after coming to the capital, I was fortunate that Zhang Mingyue Zhang Zhongtang was willing to avenge the people, deal with the matter, and invite the children to impeach Luo Yingmin together. The chapter should not have been delivered to the military aircraft department, and the copy I signed at that time had just been sent back to the chapter hall a few days ago. Luo Yingmin is a thief shouting to catch a thief, and he asked his father to distinguish it. ……”
