Chapter 118: News
In the Mansion of the Duke of the State of Xuan, the Duchess of the Kingdom of Wang sat alone in the room in a daze, and the King of Shu sent someone over and brought a bad news, that is, a traitor sneaked into the palace today and took the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the Queen of Yi hostage.
Of course, it is only said to the outside world that the Queen Mother and Queen Yi were held hostage by thieves, and the Son of Heaven is unharmed and still in the palace.
All this happened not long after the Wang family and the prince Wei Chi Jiade left the palace, so when the Wang family heard the news, they couldn't believe their ears.
Soon after returning from the palace, Wang heard a report from his servants that the city was full of soldiers, and that the city gates were closed, the streets were blocked, pedestrians were questioned everywhere, and houses were searched.
She didn't know what was going on at first, and it wasn't until someone sent by the King of Shu came to the mansion to explain.
The scene of the grandson's performance of "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger", the scene of the two daughters talking to her, Wang still remembers it clearly, but when people said that they were not there, they were not there!
Wang didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, although the person who came didn't say it explicitly, but she probably guessed that these daring thieves were probably her son-in-law's subordinates.
The Yuchi clan and the Yuwen clan had broken up, so the Wang family knew that their third daughter and grandson would not be able to reunite with their son-in-law for the rest of their lives, but now the son-in-law's subordinates actually rescued people from the palace, and the Wang family was both happy and worried.
Happily, the third daughter and grandson can return to their son-in-law, but the worry is that if the mother and son encounter danger along the way, it will be terrible, not to mention that the youngest daughter has also been taken away, what will they do in the future?
From Yecheng to Shannan, the journey is nearly 1,000 miles, and the Yellow River has to be crossed halfway, and the border of Henan is fighting.
The Wang family felt that the King of Shu knew how to take proportions, so the chasing soldiers sent out would not harm Sister Yu Chi Chifan and Yuwen Weicheng, but those thieves, rebels, and even the powerful people in various places were different.
The appearance of the sisters who have fallen into the country and the city, can it be good if they fall into the hands of thieves?
Even if you don't get caught, what if you get hit by a stray arrow during a battle?
Wang thought about it and became more and more restless, and would rather have his two daughters and grandsons trapped in the palace than take risks, after all, in the palace, in addition to not being able to leave the palace at will, the brocade clothes and jade food are certain, and they are safe and will not be wronged.
Not to mention that the matter of Yu Chi Mingyue and Wang Xin is basically decided, and they can live a happy life after remarrying, but now Yu Chi Mingyue has followed Yu Chi Chi Chi Fan, if he arrives in Shannan safely, what will happen to Yu Chi Mingyue's marriage?
And Yu Chi Mingyue, as the queen mother, arrived at the territory of Yuwen's family, afraid that he would be unlucky, Wang heard the rumors, and said that King Qi set up a son of heaven in Chang'an, claiming to be the 'first emperor' who fled from Yecheng, and this son of heaven also announced to the world that the deposed Wei Chi Mingyue was a concubine.
So Yu Chi Mingyue went to Shannan and went to Yuwen's territory, will the other party give her a good look? I'm afraid it's not to force him to shave his hair!
The more Wang thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he felt that Yu Chi Mingyue's future was worrying, but then his personal appearance appeared in his mind.
Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, her son-in-law, is a good person, is a clan vassal king with great military achievements, Wang feels that since Yuwenwen is so good to Yu Chi Chifan, he should look at Yu Chi Chi Fan's sake and protect Yu Chi Mingyue.
After all, it was Yuwenwen who rescued her family from Chang'an back then.
Yuwenwen's biological father is Yuwenliang, Yuwenliang must have a pivotal position in the Chang'an Imperial Court, and Yuwenming, the son of Yuwenwen, the son of Yuwenwen, has a good relationship with Yuwenwen, and Wang feels that as long as Yuwenwen speaks, it will not be a problem to protect Captain Chi Mingyue.
Thinking about it like this, the Wang family was a little relieved, but they began to worry about the safety of their daughter and grandson, the gate of Yecheng had been closed, so if Yu Wenwen's subordinates didn't move fast enough to take Yu Chi Chifan's mother and son and Yu Chi Mingyue out of the city as soon as possible, they would inevitably be trapped in the city.
In this way, in the days of hiding and hiding, will you not have enough food, will you not have warm clothes, will you be sick and have no medicine, will you be...
Wang was worried, the prince Chi Jiade walked in, Wang saw his nervous appearance, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you so flustered?" ”
"Uh... Mother..."Yu Chi Jiade looked behind him in the middle of speaking, turned to the door to look outside, made sure that there was no one, walked quickly to Wang, and handed a wax pill to her.
"What is this?"
"Mother, something has fallen outside the back garden, and it's this wax pill, wrapped in a handkerchief..."
When Yu Chi Jiade said this, he lowered his voice: "This handkerchief is the handkerchief that the Son of Heaven wiped his sweat when he was in the palace, and the pattern on it is recognized by children." ”
"Ahh
Wang was shocked when he heard this, he almost couldn't hold the wax pill, looked at the door, carefully pinched the wax pill, and took out a note from it, with several juanxiu handwriting on it, which read, "The daughter is fine, the fourth mother is fine, and the mother should not read it."
Wang recognized this handwriting as being written by Yu Chi Chifan, which means that Yu Chi Chi Fan was using this way to communicate the news to her to "report safety".
After reading it several times, Wang put the note in the water bowl on the dining table and rubbed it, crumpled the handwriting and the note, and then looked at his son: "Remember, you can't let others know about this matter." ”
"Do you want my father to know?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Wang sighed, very helpless, the matter has come to this, she can only pray to the Buddha to bless the two daughters and the little grandson to turn evil into good fortune, and go to Yuwenwen's side safely.
。。。。。。
The next day, in a corner of Yecheng, more than a dozen horsemen stopped outside the door of a mansion, and the Sogdian merchant Antura threw his whip and dismounted, and walked straight to his mansion. ”
"The soldiers have come, and they won't leave the money, so they have to toss it before they stop." The housekeeper paused and added, "Lord Lang rest assured, the family members are not disturbed. ”
Anturo nodded: "From today onwards, the price of the goods sold will be raised, and the losses will be made up immediately!" ”
"Yes."
The housekeeper saw that Anturo went to the backyard in a hurry, and turned to do other things, and after meeting with his family and saying a few words, Anturo went to the study and sat alone.
After a while, there was a knock at the door, and after Antura had answered, one of them entered, and when Antura asked what had happened in the city yesterday, the man told him the news of the inquiry.
In short, there was an accident in the palace, the gate of Yecheng was closed, and ordinary people were forbidden to enter and exit, and then the officials and troops were all over the city, and the prime minister later summoned the ministers, saying that there were traitors who sneaked into the palace in the morning and attempted to assassinate the Son of Heaven, so they hijacked the Queen Mother, and Queen Yi fled.
At that time, the princess of Shu and Zuo Xiaogongbo in the palace were also taken hostage, but fortunately they were rescued by the guards, and now the city is searching for the hiding place of the traitor, and the government promised a heavy reward to encourage the people to assist the official army to catch the traitor.
Hearing this, Anturo asked, "So, is the Son of Heaven still in the palace?" ”
"Lord Lang, it is said that the Son of Heaven is still there, but the palace is now impenetrable, and no news can be transmitted, so I don't know if this Son of Heaven is true or not."
"Got it, stand down."
"Yes."
Anturo was the only one in the study, thinking about things in a daze.
Yesterday, Anturo, who had just returned from Jinyang, was about to enter the city, but when he saw that the city gate was closed, he had no choice but to spend the night in his own manor outside the city, and he could not figure out what was happening in the city at that time.
Now, from the servant's report, he came to a conclusion, that is, the people of the king of Xiyang took the princess (Queen Di) and the prince (the son of heaven) out of the palace.
This news is crucial, which means that Yu Chi's advantage has been reduced by one point, and his chance has been one more.
As a businessman, of course, you have to make sure that you are well-informed, so Anturo knows the brilliant achievements of Yuwen Wen, the king of Xiyang, in Henan, and the Yuwen clan seems to have gained a firm foothold, and the worst situation is to be able to confront the Wei Chi clan.
So how to meet the source left and right at that time is naturally a problem that Anturo has to consider.
The sudden break between the Yuchi clan and the Yuwen clan caught most people off guard, and so did the merchants, the war started, the trade route to Huangzhou was cut off, and the lucrative trade profits were instantly reduced a lot, especially the lucrative glass mirror, and there was no place to buy it.
Thinking of this, Anturo couldn't help but clench his fists: How can that work, Augustus, the noble of Rome, has already paid a lot of money half a year ago to make a unique glass mirror!
