Chapter 887: Justified
There is a very special place called Yuyan Pavilion in the east city of Chang'an City, which is different from all the pavilions, this pavilion is in the middle of the road, and there is a pavilion that is not congested, but it has been more than 100 years, and this pavilion has never been demolished.
About one hundred and ten years ago, a young lieutenant in Chang'an City received an order that Chang'an City was going to send troops to the northern Xinjiang, and when he received the order, he was still eating, put down his rice bowl and ran into the back room, changed into his military armor and grabbed a black line knife and ran out, his wife didn't have time to prepare anything else, wrapped a few steamed buns on the table and wanted to give them to her husband, but the husband had already rushed out of the door and shouted to wait for me to come back.
She ran behind, running all the way and shouting, steamed buns, steamed buns, eat on the way.
The husband turned around and took the steamed bun and complained, saying that he didn't dare to delay, do you know that if you delay for a while, many people may die? The faster we run, the more chances our brothers in Northern Xinjiang will have to survive.
She had a lot of things she wanted to say before she could say them, and her husband had already grabbed the steamed buns and ran away.
Later, someone from the Ministry of War came to her house, put down an envelope and a set of mutilated military armor and left.
She went crazy.
Every day, I went to the place where I was separated from my husband, looked at the distance and shouted, shouting that you remember to eat the steamed buns, don't go to the battlefield hungry, shouting that you should be careful, the sword of the black warrior has no eyes, shouting that I will wait for you to come back at home, you must come back.
No one thought she was ridiculous.
No matter the heat or winter, no matter the wind, snow, thunder and lightning, she would stand there every day, looking at herself in the direction of her husband's departure, as if she felt that even if she left for a while, her husband might appear from the other side of the street, so she did not dare to leave, from the beginning of the day to the day after that.
The neighbors were afraid that something would happen to her, she stood there, and the neighbors built a simple pavilion with wood around her, and this one put down some food for her today, and changed to another one tomorrow, and then the palace got the news, His Majesty the Emperor Daning came in person, and brought the imperial doctor in the palace, but no matter what the emperor said, she didn't seem to hear it, but she still looked at the distance.
The emperor decreed that the Yuyan Pavilion should be built here.
Before the words are over, the people have gone.
For the next six years, she finally couldn't survive and died in Yuyan Pavilion, holding the set of military armor in her arms, she was in rags, but the military armor was scrubbed every day and clean.
After her death, the emperor ordered a generous burial, and even the queen mother attended the funeral in person.
This is a time when no one laughs at her madness, this is a country where no one laughs at her madness.
Since then, Yu Yan Pavilion has stayed, for more than 100 years, I don't know how many literati and ink writers have come from thousands of miles to see this pavilion, some people say that every stormy night, standing in the middle of this pavilion will hear her shouting.
The rain hit the eaves, she asked.
When will you return?
There was another drizzle tonight, and there were gradually fewer people on the street, and there were two women standing in the Yuyan Pavilion.
On the stone table in the pavilion, there are still tributes, incense and candles, and paper money, and there are two lines of words left by unknown people on the pillar next to it...... The general died in a hundred battles, and his face was full of tears.
The tea master stood in the pavilion and looked at the rain outside, and Yun Hongsleeve stood not far away and looked at the tribute on the table, stunned.
"Is she bitter?"
The tea master suddenly asked.
Yun Hong's face changed slightly, and he looked at the tea master: "Who?" β
Then he came to his senses, and the tea master asked the owner of this pavilion, the woman who was waiting for her husband's return.
"Bitter."
Yun Hongsleeve replied.
"It shouldn't be bitter."
Tea Ye looked back at Yun Hongsleeve and said: "Others should think that she should be bitter, and she herself should not have time to think about whether she is bitter or not, she doesn't dare to make a mistake, she says that she can't think about it, maybe it's not that she can't think about it, but she would rather live in that kind of period where every breath is a period."
In the days he stays, if he doesn't come back, he only looks forward to it, and nothing else. β
Yun Hongsleeves bowed his head: "Isn't it bitter?" β
She looked at the tea master: "You and I are in different moods." β
The tea master snorted and didn't say much.
The mood is really different.
Yun Hongsleeve was silent for a while and then said: "When I went to look for you, I always felt that you and I were in two worlds, and one person was the only one to spoil the other, the most beautiful feelings in this world are just like that, you have belonged to each other from the beginning, and Your Majesty has not belonged to me from the beginning, people like me are greedy, of course the person I love can only love me, but he is Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to belong alone." β
The tea master didn't know what to say.
Yun Hongsleeve's feelings do not belong to this world, it seems that it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines when they have higher achievements, and monogamy is like Shen Leng and Shen Chayan, which is really rare.
"Besides, I am not bright."
Yun Hongsleeve smiled: "If you can really only live a lifetime with a man and a woman, I am a latecomer, but I have extravagance, although I have never persecuted anything, and I have not even confessed, but I am still not bright." β
She paused: "But I have the right to like him, not to interfere, to do something silently, it is also my right." β
Tea Ye looked at Yun Hongsleeve: "I don't know what to persuade you, I just thought about it, if I am you, even if I am going to die, I have to go to the north to see him and then die, if I don't want to die after seeing it, then go away." β
Yun Hongsleeve was obviously stunned.
"The person you kill is the person who deserves to be killed, but the law of the country is the law of the country after all."
Tea Master said: "Besides, Your Majesty didn't let people who enforce the law of the country such as Lord Han and Lord Ye do it, which means that Your Majesty has his ideas, maybe what you are doing now is precisely to destroy Your Majesty's thoughts, you are not afraid of death, it is better to meet." β
She walked up to Yun Hongsleeve: "I'll accompany you on a trip to Northern Xinjiang." β
East Palace.
The person in front of the prince is Han Zhaozhi.
This is the first time that Han Zhaozhi has entered the East Palace after the crown prince was canonized, and it is also the first time that the prince has taken the initiative to summon Han Zhaozhi.
"Lord Han, what's the news?"
The prince asked: "My East Palace companion Lin Dongting and his father, Lin Yaoxian, a member of the Cabinet Second Auxiliary University, were killed at home, and the general of my East Palace left and right guards disappeared and did not see anyone dead or dead, so they must be investigated." β
"I'm checking."
Han Zhaozhi lowered his head: "It's just that at present, it seems to be a bit complicated, and more clues are needed." β
"Do you want me to give you a clue?"
The prince stood up violently: "I heard that Yun Hongsleeve, the big leader of the dark road forces in the rivers and lakes of Chang'an City, has disappeared, and I suspect that this person is related to these cases." β
Han Zhaozhi replied: "After the minister goes back, he will arrange for someone to investigate." β
The prince snorted: "Even I can find some clues, but Lord Han can't find them?" β
"I found it, but I didn't report it to His Highness."
Han Zhaozhi lowered his head and spoke, word by word, word by word.
"Because there was no provision that the Tingwei Mansion needed to report to His Highness when investigating a case, His Highness may not know how much the Tingwei Mansion has found, and if His Highness needs it, the minister can say something to His Highness."
The prince glared at Han Zhaozhi: "Then you say." β
"Tingweifu found out that a while ago, a large number of Jianghu guests entered Chang'an, and later found out that some of these people were contacted by a person named Yuan Xiaoyu, and Yuan Xiaoyu was the person of the late criminal minister Mu Zhaotong, these people used Yuanwangxiang Restaurant as a base to contact and collude, and the shopkeeper behind Yuanwangxiang Restaurant was Su Qifan, Su Qifan was also Mu Zhaotong's person, and he was also Mu Zhaotong's protΓ©gΓ©, Tingwei's Mansion has sealed the sail firm, and some things were found out from the firm, proving that Su Qifan and ......"
Han Zhaozhi raised his head: "It proves that Su Qifan and Lin Dongting, the companion of the East Palace, have."
Connection. β
The prince's face changed, but he quickly recovered: "What do you mean?" Do you mean that Lin Dongting colluded with the Jianghu to kill himself and his father? β
"Your Highness."
Han Zhaozhi still said in a very calm tone: "The Tingwei Mansion intends to close the case like this, does Your Highness think it is appropriate?" β
The prince was stunned.
Han Zhaozhi continued: "Lin Dongting colluded with Jianghu guests, it may be to be unfavorable to His Highness, the minister has verified that Mu Zhaotong has a heart that is unfavorable to His Highness, and the arrangement of these chess pieces may be to murder Your Highness." β
The prince's heart was beating faster, he knew that Han Zhaozhi must have verified something, otherwise he would not have spoken in such a tone in front of him.
"You...... Are you sure? β
The prince asked.
Han Zhaozhi asked rhetorically: "Can the minister be sure?" β
The prince was silent.
After a long time, the crown prince sat down and smiled: "Since the Tingwei Mansion has been verified, then naturally there is evidence?" β
Han Zhaozhi said: "Your Highness wants to take a look? β
The prince smiled and waved his hand: "No, didn't you say it, there is no provision for the Tingwei Mansion to investigate the case and report to me, since this case has been verified by Lord Han, then the case should be closed, and the case will be closed as soon as possible, and it will also be an explanation to the people." β
Han Zhaozhi lowered his head and said: "Your Highness is right, for example, the case of the elder Yuan Toshiba, the minister also closed the case as soon as possible." β
The prince's face changed again.
"Lord Han still has a lot of things to do, let's go back first, you don't need to tell me about this matter in the future, just go back and report to the cabinet."
"Your Ministers obey."
Han Zhaozhi bowed and retreated, and the prince suddenly came to his senses, what he wanted to say was Yun Hongsleeve, but Han Zhaozhi was opposed to the army.
"But Yun Hongsleeve's case should be investigated."
The prince looked at Han Zhaozhi and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Lord Han can verify so many things, and he is not short of a cloud red sleeve." β
Han Zhaozhi said: "The cases that should be investigated, the ministers will investigate." β
"Well, let's go back."
The prince waved his hand.
After Han Zhaozhi left, the prince's face became more and more ugly, and from Han Zhaozhi's words, he obviously heard that the Tingwei Mansion had found out some things about him, once these things were publicized, how could he get the throne logically?
Cao Anqing came out from behind the screen, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, it seems that it really can't be delayed any longer, if it is dragged to Kang Wei to Chang'an, I am afraid that Han Zhaozhi will do it first." β
The prince got up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Where is Kang Wei?"
"There is no news, but counting the days, it will take at least two months to get to Chang'an."
"Two months ......"
The crown prince stopped and looked at Cao Anqing: "If I force my move, will the courtiers resist it greatly?" β
"Your Highness thinks?"
Cao Anqing asked.
"There's no way to kill Han Zhaozhi."
The prince took a deep breath: "Then I will directly dismiss him, and tomorrow I will arrange for someone to participate in his dereliction of duty and greed for gold and silver, first dismiss his official, and then use the name of Liuyun Society to dismiss Ye Liuyun." β
Cao Anqing said: "Then tonight, Lai Cheng will die, and the cabinet has the right to veto His Highness's order." β
The prince was silent for a long time and shook his head: "Forget it...... Forget it. β
He looked at Cao Anqing: "God knows where that Yun Hongsleeve is hidden, if I don't kill her first, I'm upset." β
Cao Anqing said: "Why don't you arrange for someone to spread the news in Chang'an City first, and say that Your Majesty has been killed in Northern Xinjiang?" Wait until the people's hearts are floating, and then His Royal Highness quietly left Chang'an and went straight to Jiaziying, with the order of the prince supervising the country, and brought Jiaziying into Beijing. β
