It goes back to the eighteenth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On that day, Huang Zicheng, as the secretary of Taichang Temple, naturally wanted to attend Mu Ying's funeral. Not only did he participate, but he was also the host, looking at Yoon-hee's extremely annoying face, he really wanted to make Yoon-hee a big ugly; Yun Xi's uncoordinated movements knew at a glance that he was unfamiliar with the process, and it was easy for him to make a fool of himself. But Huang Zicheng didn't dare, he had a father, a brother, a child, and a relative, and he couldn't let them all be implicated because of his own impulse.

But Huang Zicheng was unwilling in his heart, but the fire became hotter and hotter, he originally planned to communicate with Yun Wei, but Yun Wei hurriedly returned to the palace after the funeral, so that Huang Zicheng's plan was frustrated.

Huang Zicheng walked alone on the street after work, he didn't know what to do or who to go to. walked from the evening to the curfew, so I casually found a tavern on the side of the road to enter. There were not many people in the tavern, so Huang Zicheng found a seat alone, so he asked the bartender to serve the wine, and drank seven or eight bowls of wine in a row. The boss saw that he was alone and wearing an official uniform, and he was afraid that he would be drunk and unable to deal with it, so he hurriedly came out and persuaded him: "This adult, this wine still tastes good, why don't you give the adults a plate of small dishes in the shop, how about you taste it slowly?" ”

Huang Zicheng drank a little too much, was furious, and shouted: "Why, it's not that I don't give money, you don't care how I drink!" He reached out and snatched the flask from the bartender's hand.

was making a lot of trouble, and suddenly heard someone say, "Why is Brother Huang here?" Huang Zicheng heard someone call him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Yao Shan, the head of the household department. I saw him and several other officials dressed in six- and seven-grade official uniforms coming down from the second floor. Today is the first day of Mu Ying's funeral, but because the emperor wants to sacrifice in person, only officials of the fifth rank and above are allowed to participate, Yao Shan is the head of the sixth grade, and he is not qualified to participate, he is depressed, and he went out to drink with several other friends who are also depressed. As soon as I finished drinking, I saw Huang Zicheng.

Yao Shan saw that Huang Zicheng was here, and after saying goodbye to the other friends, he came over and asked, "Why is Brother Huang drinking here alone?" In fact, he had already guessed that everyone already knew about Yun Xi's worship for Zhu Yuanzhang today, and he understood it with a roll of his eyes just now.

Huang Zicheng sat down again, and Yao Shan waved his hand to get the tavern owner up. Huang Zicheng drank another bowl of wine and said: "Years of hard work have been ruined in one fell swoop!" Years of hard work, ruined! These two highnesses are benevolent and filial, smart and sensible, how suitable are they for the prince? His Majesty chose the Third Highness, the one who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it! ”

Yao Shan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's decision, how can we question it, Lord Huang beware of misfortune coming out of his mouth." And the recent suggestions made by His Royal Highness are also quite reasonable, and they are not people who do not learn and do not know. ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Hmph, what His Royal Highness said is not the right way? It's all crooked. If you want to perpetuate the country, you must abolish the feudal domain, govern the country with Confucianism, pay light for the meager endowment, live with the people's livelihood, and live with your neighbors; But which of the Three Highnesses' recommendations deals with the above? ”

I have to say that Huang Zicheng's statement is very representative, and most Confucian ministers think so. This is also the reason why many Confucian ministers are worried at the same time today: they all feel that Yun Xi is too deviant and does not conform to the Confucian ideal monarch model, nor does it conform to the normal appearance of a second-generation monarch. Even when Yunxi put forward the theory that the population would eventually exceed the upper limit of the land, they turned a blind eye and continued to advocate the theory passed down from Confucianism for thousands of years.

However, Yao Shan, who was present, was not one of 'these people', he usually only pretended to be like that in order to integrate into the civilian collective. Yao Shanben didn't want to answer, but when he saw Huang Zicheng's drunken appearance, he had an idea and said, "But Your Majesty is afraid that his mind has been decided, what can we do?" ”

Huang Zicheng was already drunk, and said: "As long as I can make His Royal Highness the prince, even if I lose my life Huang Zicheng, I will not hesitate." ”

Yao Shan said pretendedly: "What Brother Huang said is true? ”

Huang Zicheng didn't think about it: "What's not true! ”

Yao Shan said: "I have a method that can help His Royal Highness II ascend to the position of the emperor's grandson." ”

"How?"

"Since ancient times, there has been no crippled man in the prince. Now the Three Highnesses go out of the palace every day, and the time is very regular, you can find a person, drive on the way back to the palace of the Three Highnesses, pretend to be a carriage out of control, and crash into the Three Highnesses, control the strength, causing the Three Highnesses to be crippled and not dead. How could Your Majesty make a crippled man a prince? Brother Huang's goal was not achieved. ”

Although Huang Zicheng was already drunk, he still replied: "The strategy is very good, but where can I find such a loyal and brave person?" This is very likely to be considered a crime of murdering the royal family, and it is to be executed by Ling Chi himself, and his children will be beheaded after the autumn, and his relatives will be on the border. ”

Yao Shan said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I happen to know such a person below, who has no children and no daughters, and has enmity with relatives, and he can't take revenge if he wants to." Now that he is nearly fifty years old, his life is not long, and he is willing to repay the revenge of the whole clan with one life, but he has no way, and now there is such a way, he is definitely willing. ”

Huang Zicheng was already so confused that he didn't know how Yao Shan knew such a person by chance, and he said: "Even if there is such a person, take me to see him; His Royal Highness is estimated to be appointed as the prince soon, and time is running out. ”

Yao Shanzheng fell into his arms, paid for the wine, and carried Huang Zicheng out of the tavern.

At this time, it was curfew time, there were almost no people on the streets, and few people dared to disobey the curfew during the Hongwu period. Yao Shan is the official of the household department, and the household department often has urgent official business to deal with, so the ministry always has 3 or 4 waist cards for night passing, and today Yao Shan wants to drink with friends, and is afraid of drinking too late to violate the curfew, so he specially asked for a waist card. Yao Shan was born in a wealthy family, he was kind and generous on weekdays, and he had a good relationship with the officials in the ministry, so the officials on duty borrowed him a piece.

Yao Shan helped Huang Zicheng into the carriage and glanced at the coachman, who felt strange, but still drove them to Hour Street, not to Mafu Street, where officials lived.

Yao Shan has an outer room and lives here on Hour Street. Yao Shan's wife and he are fellow villagers, both are from Fengcheng, Yao Shan's wife's surname is Zhu, his father's name is Zhu Shan, not a royal family, but Zhu Shan is very appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, once served as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, although now he has become a member of the government due to illness, but he is very prestigious in his hometown. Yao Shan didn't dare to offend his wife, so after accepting a concubine, he was placed in a foreign house.

Yao Shan kept talking to Huang Zicheng along the way, and deliberately asked the coachman to drive the car a little bumpy, so that Huang Zicheng would not fall asleep. When he arrived at the place, he was greeted by the outer room, and Yao Shan said in a low voice, "Let your coachman come out." ”

The outer room was puzzled, but he still sent someone to wake up the coachman to come out, Yao Shan asked the next person to accompany Huang Zicheng to talk, and when he came in, he saw that the coachman looked unconscious, and he was anxious, and next to it was a large vat of water prepared in the courtyard to prevent fire, and he scooped up a scoop of water and splashed it on the driver's face. The coachman immediately sobered up, saw Yao Shan, and hurriedly saluted. Yao Shan didn't have time to say more to him, just said, "Look at my eyes later." ”

Walking outside the courtyard again, Huang Zicheng was about to fall asleep. You think a coachman can talk to him about something. What's more, the coachman was still terrified, and he couldn't say anything at all.

Yao Shan hurriedly shook him awake, pointed to the coachman who came out and said to Huang Zicheng: "This is the coachman I told you that there is no way to take revenge and is willing to take revenge with his life." With that, he winked at the coachman.

This coachman also has eyes on weekdays, and he is busy saying: "The villain Hu Tu has a grudge against someone to kill his wife and children, and he is willing to avenge it with his life." ”

Huang Zicheng said: "I have a way here that you can take revenge, you can ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Shan didn't want the coachman to know too much, so he cut off: "I have made it clear to him, and he is willing to do it." ”

Hutu, the coachman, hurriedly chimed in.

Yao Shan said again: "Brother Huang, our big event makes my blood boil, why don't we follow the sages and make an oath?" ”

Huang Zicheng's mind couldn't think at this time, and when he heard Yao Shan's suggestion, he nodded subconsciously, and Yao Shan hurriedly took him into the house, found a pen and paper for Huang Zicheng to write. Huang Zicheng finished writing crookedly, and was pressed with his handprint, Yao Shan saw that his goal had been achieved, and let him lie down. carefully put away what Huang Zicheng wrote, and instructed the outer room: "Don't tell outsiders about today's events." Then he told the coachman, "If I hear the slightest rumor of this day's events elsewhere, I will never spare you!" He took Huang Zicheng back to his home on East Fourth Street in a car. Yao Shan's wife knew that Yao Shan usually talked to Huang Zicheng, and she didn't have any doubts, so she helped settle Huang Zicheng.

The next morning, Huang Zicheng woke up, felt a splitting headache, looked around again, and found that it was a strange place. Someone outside heard a noise in the house and hurried in to serve.

Huang Zicheng asked, "Where am I?" ”

The subordinate replied: "If you go back to your lordship, this is the residence of Lord Yao, the head of the household department. My grandfather, Mr. Yao, said that you drank with him yesterday, and you were drunk and couldn't go home by yourself, so my lord took you back to his own house. ”

Huang Zicheng was about to speak, Yao Shan walked in and said with a smile: "My head hurts, you drank too much yesterday, and you must be uncomfortable today." But you're waking up on your own, yes. I've come to ask you to go with you to the ministry. ”

Huang Zicheng can't remember what he did yesterday. It's just that I remember walking on the street, finding a tavern to drink, meeting Yao Shan, and talking about some problems, but I don't know what I said or what I did later. And it's not early, I have to go to work, and I don't have time to think about it. I got up to wash and eat, and then went to work with Yao Shan. Because of Mu Ying's funeral, she dropped out of the court for three days, so she didn't need to go to court. Yao Shan and Huang Zicheng parted outside the Chengtian Gate, and Huang Zicheng and Yao Shan waved goodbye. But Huang Zicheng didn't see Yao Shan's wicked smile after he turned around. After that, Yao Shan did not go to the household department, but went to the general administration department first.

================================================================

On the 19th, Yao Shan specially requested to be on duty at night. When it came to the time (19 o'clock to 21 o'clock), I finally waited for Lao Zhu's call. He hurriedly went to the palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu was surprised that Yao Shan came so soon, so the first thing he said when he saw Yao Shan was: "Why did you come here so quickly?" ”

Yao Shan threw himself on the ground and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister is on duty tonight." ”

Lao Zhu understood after thinking about it, Yao Shan was waiting on purpose. immediately thought that Yao Shan was a very treacherous villain. However, his focus is not on this now, and he continued to ask: "You said that Huang Zicheng was going to kill the third grandson of the emperor, and you also attached Huang Zicheng's handwriting, and there are handprints on the handwriting, how did you collect evidence of his crime?" ”

Yao Shan replied immediately. Except for the fact that he found his own driver and pretended to be the murderer, he changed it to Huang Zicheng's own drunk, confused, and confided in himself, and found himself, nothing else has changed. Because he knows that if you change too much, it won't be true.

Lao Zhu listened to Yao Shan's words and felt that there was nothing wrong, but he felt that Huang Zicheng should not really want to harm Yun Xi, but drank too much nonsense. But this mentality is also not allowed! Huang Zicheng can say such nonsense, which shows that he is usually disrespectful to Yun Xi in his heart, which is not good. So Huang Zicheng must die! But it's better not to be executed now. Find a suitable time to kill him later.

As for the rest, Lao Zhu glanced at Yao Shan with slanted eyes, this person is not right, and he can't stay, but he is still using him now, leaving him a dog life for the time being.

Lao Zhu calculated in his heart and said good words to appease Yao Shan. Yao Shan didn't know how many catties and taels he had in an instant, and he couldn't help himself happily, so he withdrew from the palace in excitement. He also didn't see Lao Zhu's eyes after he withdrew.
