Because the two princes want to go north, the Xiaguan Wharf on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the Pukou Wharf on the north bank are heavily guarded, and idlers and miscellaneous people are not allowed to approach.

When it was almost noon, Zhu Yunxi's ship arrived on the north bank, and with a period of busyness, the ship's board was lowered, and Lu Ben, who arrived first, Luo Haichao, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and Wan Xinping, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, hurried to the riverside and knelt down to greet the two princes, and the people and sergeants nearby also knelt down like cutting wheat.

After a short time, I heard a sound of footsteps, and the two princes, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, appeared on the deck together, and slowly walked onto the board with the support of several guards.

Lu Ben is in his thirties today, and he is the distant nephew of the Empress Dowager Lu. He knelt on the ground, recalling the Queen Mother's instructions yesterday: "On the way, even if you are sleeping, you must open one eye to the mourning family, and you are not allowed to let the two princes do anything, and you must send them to Kaifeng safely......"

"Ahh "Plop!" "Plop!"

Lu Ben immediately looked up, but his head was "buzzing" as if he had been struck by lightning, because there was no one on the board, and there were several people in the river struggling in the icy water......

"Quick, quick, save the prince!"

……

Yu Xin frowned and raised his head: "What's going on outside?" How noisy is it? ”

After a while, an official ran in and said loudly: "My lord, it's not good, the king of Tai and the king of Ji were attacked by traitors and fell into the river." ”

"What?" Yu Xin was shocked: "Have you saved it?" ”

"The news was sent directly to the palace, so the specific situation is not clear to the official."

Yu Xin's brain teaser was spinning, digesting this amazing news, who attacked King Tai and King Ji? Who has such a great ability? And who has the audacity? Don't......?

Yu Xin thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Yuanji, please follow this official into the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and by the way, visit the illness of the two princes." ”

"Yes, sir!"

……

"Oh no, sir!"

"What's wrong? Ji-sama? Zhou Xin put down the brush and looked up at Ji Gang who rushed in in a hurry.

"My lord, the king of Taiwan is back," Ji Gang walked up to Zhou Xin and said in a low voice: "If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have let Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong go." ”

"What happened?" Hu Ying turned from the back hall with a teacup and asked.

"Lord Hui," Ji Gang turned around and gave a salute, and said in a low voice: "At the Pukou Wharf, when King Tai and King Ji got off the boat, they were pushed into the river by Ma Mingyang, the guard of King Ji's Mansion. ”

"What? And then? ”

"It's not good, the two princes are unconscious, and they are about to be sent back to Jingshi."

"What about the murderer?"

"After the murderer was caught, he committed suicide by taking poison. But ......" Ji Gang suddenly stopped, hesitating.

"But what?" Hu Ying was a little anxious and hurriedly asked.

"Before Ma Mingyang took the poison, he said that he was sorry for the prince, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey!"

"That's what he said?"

"Hmm!"

In an instant, the lobby fell silent, and it seemed that everyone was silent.

……

In the afternoon, the news that the two princes were attacked and fell unconscious spread in the Jingshi, and for a while there were different opinions, and there were all kinds of theories. One theory is that the rebellion of the two princes was exposed, and the emperor wanted to deal with them; One theory is that the emperor lost the battle in the north, and the previous good news was all deceitful, and now he vomits blood and is in a coma, and plans to get rid of his two brothers so that he can pass on the crown prince; There is also a theory that the emperor is dying, and the other vassal kings want to seize the throne and first get rid of the emperor's two brothers to remove his wings. In the evening, a new statement came out, and this time it was even more outrageous, for example, the king of Taiwan was making a bitter plan, and he was the one who rebelled; There are also the Hu people in the north who have broken through the Great Wall and occupied Beiping, the Great Yuan Empire is about to be revived, and the emperor stationed in Kaifeng is actually to learn the story of the Zhao and Song dynasties, defend according to the Yellow River, and so on.

Two days passed, and the two princes still did not go north, which immediately caused new rumors that the emperor was dying, and the queen mother left her two sons in the palace to prepare to make them emperors......

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

"Mr. Song, is this your hand?"

"You can say yes, you can say no." Song Tianyuan, who was dressed in green clothes, shook the fan in his hand and said with a smile.

Feeling the cool breeze blowing on his face, Xu Zengshou scolded secretly in his heart, but his face remained silent, and said, "Mr. Song, is the person behind you the king of Taiwan?" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"Mr. Song, this is not interesting, it has been more than 20 days since you entered the mansion, I have good food and drink for you, I expect you to show me a way out, why do you always say half a word?"

"This," Song Tianyuan smiled and said: "General Xu, don't be impatient, my master admires General Xu very much, the general went on an expedition to Mobei and captured Erleboke with his own hands, it can be said that Yongwu is not under the illness of Huo in the Han Dynasty, and after my master ascends the throne, he will inevitably reuse the general." Xu family," Song Tianyuan leaned forward and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible to have another duke!" ”

Another duke? Xu Zengshou was stunned, this price is not high, even if he assists King Yan to ascend the throne, I am afraid that there will not be such a high reward, for a while he was really a little moved.

Looking at Xu Zengshou's face for a burst of red and white, Song Tianyuan smiled on his face, but he was very proud in his heart, this is what he strongly advocated to ask the master for, and Xu Zengshou's performance also proved that his idea was right, as for whether he could fulfill it in the end, he couldn't care so much.

"Mr. Song, let's laugh." After a long time, Xu Zeng Shouqiang smiled and said: "If you want to be a duke, how difficult it is, my father will be crowned the Duke of Wei for the rest of his life, how can he increase his longevity?" ”

"General Xu, don't be presumptuous, General Xu is worth the price."

"You're going to mutiny? But Xu Kai, Liu Tie, and Cao Yushu are all the emperor's henchmen, and it is impossible to succeed. ”

"Hehe, otherwise, Jingzhong seems to be impregnable, but in the eyes of my master, it is nothing, Xu Kai is old and mediocre, Liu Tie is a brave husband, only Cao Yushu's guards are not easy to deal with, but it is difficult to support alone, once there is a change, my master needs General Xu to ascend and shout, call on the ministers to support it, and the master will find a way to solve other things."

"Well, let me think!"

……

"Master, you're finally back, I'm dying, what's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay, haven't I come back?"

"Are you alright? The night before yesterday, you said that you went out to eat and drink, but you didn't return all night, and in the middle of the night, a group of fierce and vicious guys came in, but I was frightened, and my son and daughter were also frightened, but fortunately they only searched, did not move their hands and feet, and left when it was almost dawn. ”

"Moreover, there are guards at the door, not letting us go out, and saying that the master was arrested for rebellion, but it scared us to death, fortunately, fortunately, the sentry was removed today, and you are back."

After listening to his wife's narration, Feng Xingjian smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, the old man is hungry, cook me something to eat." ”

"Okay, okay!"

"Da! Da! Da! Ji Gang tapped lightly on the table with his fingers: "So, after Feng Xingjian and Qiao Hong went home, they were all closed?" ”

"Yes."

"And what about their families?"

"Didn't go out either."

"Didn't even go out? Then you have to buy groceries. ”

"No, people like them all have people to deliver food."

"Has the person delivering the food checked it carefully?"

"Someone has been sent to follow it, and there are no results yet."

"Okay, keep an eye on it, report back as soon as you have news!"

"Yes!"

"This thing is a little difficult to do!" Ji Gang put his legs on the table, tilted his head and thought: "This Zhou Xin, he is really a white-faced scholar, soft-hearted, according to Lao Tzu's idea, he will be punished and served, and all problems will be solved." ”

"It's really good to be an official, and it's not in vain that you risk your life to go to school, but if the errand is messed up, and the emperor is angry, I'm afraid this black gauze hat will be gone, and that Hu Ying has long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, so he has to think of a way."

"But these two people are closed, what should I do?"
