Chapter Ninety-Four: The Beginning and End of Shandong (2)
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhu Yu quickly turned his anger into joy, quickly got up, and walked towards the door with great interest, asking a few words in a low voice with Yan Dongyang beside him as he walked, and let out a low laugh from time to time......
Looking at the backs of the two, the white-haired professor Ye Yuan stomped his feet hatefully, cursed a few words in a low voice, turned around and saluted the princess, and then turned to leave.
Ye Yuan's departure was like a fuse, everyone shook their heads, and then scattered, leaving only broken porcelain pieces and water stains all over the ground, these are the "masterpieces" of Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, when he was angry.
Princess Wu shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly, sighed softly, and ordered her subordinates to clean the hall, and then took the maid back to the back house.
Regarding the scene behind him, in fact, Zhu Yan imagined it, and he was not stupid, but he didn't care anymore.
Yan Dongyang is the person he values the most now, since he came to his side the year before last, it can be said that he has been sleeping at night, pleasing himself all the time. Every time he came over, he either sent rare treasures to himself, or offered some beauties and beauties, although some people reported to Zhu Rong that this Yan Dongyang was outside relying on the prestige of the Qi Wangfu to buy and sell, rob the people's daughters, and even mobilize the palace guards without authorization, but Zhu Rong laughed at it.
Since the death of the first emperor, the good days of these vassal kings have come to an end, not only can they no longer control the civil and military as before, but the emperor also intentionally or unintentionally canceled the etiquette system for ministers to pay homage to the prince, so that the civil and military ministers of the court and the local government have avoided themselves and cannot meet the ministers, so their authority will gradually disappear. In this case, I can only come to enjoy the glory and wealth of the heavenly family, and this Yan Dongyang is very measured in doing things, the so-called forced buying and selling have documents as evidence, and the businessmen dare not litigate with the palace, most of them admit that they are unlucky, and they are calm, so it's a big deal if you don't come to Qingzhou next time; As for those people's daughters, Yan Dongyang will give his parents a sum of money afterwards, because his daughter entered the palace and lost her innocence, although she has no official status, but she is doing well, and these parents can only accept their fate.
This time is no exception, Yan Dongyang found another woman, it is said that she is still a stunning woman, which can't help but make Zhu Rong's index finger move, it has been too bad these days, just to go to the depression in his heart.
On the way, Zhu Yu also knew the whole story, it was Yan Dongyang who fell in love with a Huguang merchant's goods, and planned to buy low and sell high, but he didn't expect that this businessman would rather give up people than wealth, so he simply offered his goddaughter and begged Yan Dongyang to let him go. Yan Dongyang was originally unwilling, because this batch of Korean ginseng was in good condition, and he could earn at least two or three thousand taels of silver, but after seeing this woman, Yan Dongyang immediately changed his mind and asked the merchant to write down a document and sell his daughter An Lianrong to the palace, and he could not be recovered. After the document was signed, Yan Dongyang ignored the goodbye of the merchant and his daughter, and urged Miss An to go to the palace and let people carry it to the palace, while Yan Dongyang rode to the palace and reported the good news to Zhu Rong.
……
"Hmmm! …… The prince tapped ......"
Listening to the delicate wheezing sound under him, Zhu Rong completely forgot the depression of the day, he put all his energy on the newly acquired beautiful girl, and several fish and water joys exhausted Zhu Rong's physical strength, so until dawn, he was still asleep......
On the second day, the delicate An Lianrong softly begged Zhu Rong to allow her to send her father safe, because the safety was going to leave Qingzhou today, Zhu Rong felt sorry for An Lianrong, and planned to go with her, but was stopped by Yan Dongyang, according to him, An Lianrong's status was low, and it was difficult to get the canonization of the imperial court, so the prince personally went to send safety, which was not in harmony with the etiquette. An Lianrong's lowly status made Zhu Rong very angry, but in the end, he listened to Yan Dongyang's statement, and asked An Lianrong to send his father by himself, for the sake of prudence, Zhu Rong told An Lianrong not to send it too far, because it is not peaceful outside Qingzhou now, An Lianrong agreed with tears and went out.
……
At noon, An Lianrong had not come back yet, and Zhu Rong and the others were anxious and sent Yan Dongyang out to investigate. More than an hour later, Yan Dongyang brought back a piece of news: "Lord Wang, something is wrong, Miss An and his father were robbed by robbers from the stone shed. ”
"What?" Zhu Rong was shocked: "What's the matter?" What about the guards? Do they all eat dry rice? ”
"Wang, Wangye," Yan Dongyang hesitated, took out a piece of red silk cloth from his arms, handed it to Zhu Yan tremblingly, and said in a low voice: "This step seems to be on the prince's cloak, do you see?" ”
"This," Zhu Yu took it and looked at it, compared it on himself, and said with a change of color: "This is on the king's cloak, where did you get it?" ”
"Yes, it was found on the side of the mountain road in the direction of the stone unloading shed, and there are dozens of corpses next to it, the small ones have been examined, most of them are the corpses of the guards in the house, and a small number should be the guys of the caravan."
"You don't see mercy and safety?"
"Nope!"
"What a big dog guts, dare to kidnap the king's woman," Zhu Yan slapped the table fiercely, and said fiercely: "Come on, let Chai Zhi immediately order the troops, within two quarters of an hour, the king will personally lead the troops to step on the unloading stone shed......"
"No, my lord!" Yan Dongyang was shocked: "Don't do it, the prince must think twice!" Unauthorized deployment of troops is conspiracy, and the sky is about to get dark, attacking the mountain at night is a taboo for soldiers, why not wait until tomorrow to discuss it? ”
"No, this king is so anxious that he can't wait for a moment, you go and give the order, go quickly!" While speaking, Zhu Yu raised his right foot and kicked Yan Dongyang on the heel: "Don't you think that this king can't kill you?" ”
"Yes, the little ones are going!" Feeling the murderous aura in Zhu Rong's mouth, Yan Dongyang crawled and went to the military camp outside the city to deliver the message.
"Someone! Armor this king! This king is going on a campaign! ”
In an instant, Zhu Rong felt that he had returned to more than ten years ago, the days when he immediately crossed the knife and plugged outside......
"Lord, no!"
The news from Zhu Rong's side spread quickly, and the princess Wu hurriedly ordered someone to summon the prince's vassals, and sent someone to inform the prefect's yamen, and then rushed to the front hall to dissuade the king of Qi.
"Why not?"
Seeing Princess Wu's eagerness, Zhu Rong suppressed her anger and said in a low voice: "Princess, you don't know, Lian Rong was robbed by robbers, and this king must go to save her!" ”
"Pity?" Wu Shi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "It's the one who entered the mansion yesterday, right?" How could she have been snatched by robbers? ”
"In the morning she went to see off her father, but was robbed by robbers, okay, this king is leaving, it's too late!" As he spoke, Zhu Rong had already put on his armor and was about to walk out with his feet raised.
"Lord Wang, think twice!" Princess Wu hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Zhu Rong's hand: "Lord, you can't send troops!" The emperor has always been very taboo about the vassal king leading the troops, isn't this a slash to the edge of the knife? ”
"Yes, my lord! You can't send troops! ”
"Lord Wang, don't send troops!"
The vassals of the palace who heard the news fell to their knees one after another, blocking Zhu Rong's way.
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the important minister, looked up at the door again, and found that Yan Dongyang was panting and rushing into the door: "Lord Wang, General Chai's army has begun to assemble, and it will be dispatched immediately!" ”
"Okay," Zhu Yan was overjoyed, turned his head to look at Princess Wu, gently broke her hand, and tears in her eyes: "Princess, this king knows that you are for the good of this king, but over the years, this king has been too aggrieved, and he can't do this, he can't do that, he is addicted to wine all day long, just for you and Xian Ye They can have a peaceful birthday." But today the king doesn't want to endure it, mercy is the king's woman, the king can't let her suffer the slightest grievance, now she is deep in the nest of thieves, in danger, the king must save her. ”
"Princess, let this king be willful for once!"
"Lord Wang," seeing tears in Zhu Rong's eyes, Wu's heart was also like a knife, she knew her husband's helplessness and suffering in the past few years, but she couldn't watch him go to a dead end, "plop", Wu knelt on the ground and took Zhu Rong's hand: "Lord, the concubine knows that she is already old and yellow, and she can't serve the prince, but does the prince really want to destroy this family for a businesswoman?" ”
"Me?"
Seeing the princess kneeling on the ground, Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, her head suddenly sobered up, and she was about to speak, but she heard Yan Dongyang shouting: "Lord Wang, Miss An is as beautiful as a fairy, if you stay on the mountain for a while, there will be more risks, once you ......."
Hearing Yan Dongyang's words, Zhu Rong's blood slammed upwards: "Okay, pass on the king's order, set off immediately!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Yu pushed away the princess and passed through the crowd, Professor Ye Yuan hugged Zhu Yu's thigh violently, and roared: "Lord, you can't go!" I can't go! It's not worth it for a mere woman! ”
"Get out of here!"
Zhu Yu was furious, kicked Ye Yuan away, walked quickly to the door, flew on his horse, and galloped out of the city surrounded by the guards.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Zhiyuan, the prefect of Qingzhou, and his entourage rushed to the palace of the king of Qi and learned that Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, had already left the city, and couldn't help but be shocked.
