Chapter 117: Countermeasures
In the palace of the king of Shu, the princess Wang is visiting her daughter-in-law and the princess Cui, and the injuries on Cui's body have been medicated, although she was stabbed a few times, but she was not injured, so although the clothes were stained with blood, they were all flesh wounds.
When he was in the palace, the imperial doctor had already treated Cui's wounds, and after returning to the palace, Cui's changed his clothes, although he washed away the blood, but his spirit was not very good.
"Shiro said that he hadn't met that orchid once, and he didn't let him take that orchid in the palace before, why did you bother to be like that, and take someone into the palace to arrest you... Alas, where does this make Shiro's face rest! ”
Wang said bitterly, today was fine, but the daughter-in-law listened to the rumors and took people into the palace to catch the adulterer, which not only made the matter bigger, but also made the trouble out of control.
Cui's face was pale and a little sneering: "The daughter-in-law is also anxious..."
"What are you anxious about, you are the main room, and you gave birth to a son, Shiro is to take a few concubines and give birth to a few concubines, how can you threaten you and the son? Even if he wants to, I won't agree!! ”
"The daughter-in-law knows, it's just... It's just...."
Cui Shi said with a sad face, the matter has come to this, where does she dare to investigate the matter of Yu Chi Dan's 'stealing', and all kinds of signs show that Yu Chi Dan really did not have any adultery with the Persian orchid.
"It's nothing, you take care of your injuries, don't cry all day long, the prince doesn't know what happened, don't let him cry when he sees you!"
"Yes, Mother."
Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, the Wang family didn't know how to teach him, the dignified King of Shu was actually caught and raped by the princess, even if it was just a misunderstanding, such an act would make Wei Chidun lose face.
Not to mention that the Cui family was still held hostage by the orchid, and he was embarrassed in front of everyone's eyes, and he would inevitably be a laughing stock in the future, and the Wang family himself felt shameless.
For the Wang family, it is nothing for his son Wei Chidun to take a concubine, and if he has a few more sons, then it will be easy to spread the branches, so he is actually very angry about the jealous daughter-in-law's 'catching adultery' behavior.
Of course, if it were when Wei Chi Hui was still there, if he took a concubine, the Wang family would have to die or live, so based on this, the Wang family would not be too harsh on his daughter-in-law.
Cui Shi knew that he was wrong, and when Fang was held hostage by thieves at the gate of Shanshui Pond to use as a shield, Wei Chidun actually ordered the arrow to be released regardless of her safety, and Cui Shi was terrified even when he thought about it now.
She can be regarded as seeing the appearance of Wei Chidun when he is angry, where can she still get hard.
。。。。。。
In the front yard, in the study, the prime minister and the king of Shu are discussing countermeasures with several henchmen, and the search is ongoing, but there is no real good news so far.
The tunnel out of the palace has found the entrance and exit, but the tunnel is empty, and the thieves hijacked the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and others to change their clothes before leaving the tunnel, so the hounds can't track the traces after that.
The only thing that can be determined is that because the gates were closed in time, these rebels should not have left the city, but were hiding somewhere in the city.
When will I find out? I don't know, maybe it's a day, maybe it's ten days, maybe it's a month, but the state of the whole city of Dasuo can't last that long, and if no one can be caught in the short term, the scale of the search can only be reduced.
And once this happens, it is easy for the traitors to escape from the city with the Son of Heaven in tow, and if they finally escape to the territory controlled by the Yuwen clan, it will not be good.
Therefore, the anxious Wei Chidun had to discuss countermeasures with his henchmen, and the place to start was the origin of this group of people.
According to Wang Xin, who was playing with the Queen Mother in the Shanshui Pond at the time of the incident, these thieves who came over the wall had a conversation with the Queen Mother, and Wang Xin listened to it in his ears and knew that these people were the guards of the Xiyang Palace, the first person, and the Queen Mother called him "Wu Ming".
From the words that the Queen Mother talked to these people, Wang Xin heard a little "insider", that is, these people have been planning for a long time, and after taking Queen Yi and the Son of Heaven out, they can definitely guarantee 'foolproof'.
And Wang Xin felt that the Persian orchid who held Princess Shu hostage was not a gang of these people.
In other words, Hu Ji's hijacking of Princess Cui and the traitors sneaking into the palace to coerce the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and others are two different things, but they just happened to collide together, and these rebels should be Yu Wenwen's subordinates.
The tunnel can not be dug in a year or two, and the other party's hiding place may have been in business for a long time, and the neighbors may not be able to see it.
Wei Chidun rubbed his temples, looked at the people present and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"Back to the prime minister, according to what Zuo Xiaogongbo said, these traitors must have had a nest in the city, and now they are hiding there, waiting for the wind to pass and try to get out of the city, the lower officials think that if they can't find anyone in the past few days, they can be loose on the outside and tight on the inside..."
"Back to the prime minister, the last general personally went down to the tunnel to check, it can't be completed in a year or two, so I'm afraid this tunnel has been in place for several years, then, the hiding place of the traitor in the city, I'm afraid there is a basement, and it will definitely not show up in the near future."
Wei Chidun turned his gaze to Cui Zishu: "What do you think?" ”
"Back to the prime minister, the lower officials thought that the other party had a careful plan, and I was afraid that they would not be able to find their hiding place for a while and a half, but they would always show clues, so it was better to put up a list around the city, promise heavy rewards, encourage the people to denounce, and find out the flaws of the other party through a pair of eyes and ears."
"So... It's too slow. ”
"Prime Minister, the matter has come to this, it's useless to be in a hurry, the most urgent thing now is in the palace." Cui Zishu began to remind Wei Chi Dan, "You must not let people know that the Son of Heaven is no longer in the palace." ”
"So, is the stand-in ready?"
Xiao Sima, who commanded the guards, replied: "Please rest assured, the Prime Minister is safe!" ”
Last year, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, in order to prevent accidents, Wei Chi ordered someone to find a child of the same age and height as him, teach etiquette, as a backup, although the appearance is not exactly the same, but it is okay to fill the number indiscriminately.
Thinking of this, Wei Chidun made a decision: "Those palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, kill those who should be killed, and the dead can't speak!" ”
"Yes!"
Wei Chidun confessed a few words, and began to rub his temples again, he did not go to see the orchid today, and now it seems that it is indeed a wise decision, otherwise he is afraid that he will die on the orchid's couch.
The eunuch Liu Ju'er had committed suicide in fear of crime, and the Son of Heaven, Queen Di, Queen Mother, Princess Qianjin and Persian Orchid had been taken out of the palace by thieves and hid somewhere in the city, and there was no trace of them in a hurry.
These things happened in the heavily guarded palace, which made Wei Chi, who thought he was foolproof, stunned, angry but helpless, people, no longer in the palace, he could only use the fake Tianzi that had been prepared long ago.
Wei Chi Dian had promised his brother Wei Chi Shun that he would take good care of his two nieces, but now that the two nieces were taken away, he didn't know how to explain to his brother.
All this would not have happened, but it happened, the tunnel into the palace, it seems that it began to be excavated several years ago, and it was excavated under someone's instructions, and at that time, Wei Chi Dian's father, the late Shu King Wei Chi Yuan, was still alive.
Someone is Yu Wenwen, and what is he doing digging tunnels to enter the palace for no reason?
It's not for the sake of plotting evil!
Thinking of this, Wei Chidun felt more and more that it was not wrong to break with the Yuwen clan, if he hadn't made the first move, I was afraid that in the future, the dead soldiers of the Yuwen clan would enter the palace along the tunnel, and launch a palace change while his father or he was not ready.
Several people in the study were Yu Chi Dan's henchmen, so they deeply agreed with Yu Chi Dan's judgment, and at the same time, they had a deep understanding of Yu Wenwen's ability.
Someone suggested: "King, since Yuwenwen has been prepared, I'm afraid that it will be really difficult to find his nest in the city in a short time, and the lower officials think that the reward for the reward must not be less, so that the people can actively inquire about the movements of the neighbors."
Wei Chidun is not very optimistic about this: "I'm afraid it's a needle in a haystack..."
Cui Zishu thought for a while and asked, "Prime Minister, I don't know if the Duchess of the Kingdom of Xuan knows what happened today?" ”
"The widow has sent someone to the Mansion of the Kingdom of Yin."
"Then, please send someone to closely monitor the Mansion of the Kingdom of Yan."
"Huh? That doesn't seem right. Wei Chidun didn't want to do this, lest his brother become more unhappy when he found out.
"Prime Minister, the Queen Mother may not be willing to follow the traitor out of the palace, maybe she will miss her mother? If you can save the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the Queen as soon as possible, I want to come to the Guild of the Kingdom of Heaven to understand. ”
