Chapter 31: Conspiracy and Coincidence
After the prison robbery incident, Ding Shangju, the political envoy of Shandong Zuobu, was very annoyed and immediately summoned Wu Zhengxing, the prefect of Pingyang.
Feeling derelict in his duties, the prefect of Wu went to the yamen of the political envoy in a nervous mood.
"The government was robbed, and the lost prisoners were criminalized. Governor Wu, you are a shameful official. The envoy came up and mocked.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and they are willing to deal with it by the adults." Wu Zhengxing was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"You're quite incompetent, but the complaint is well written. said that the king of Pingyang colluded with the bandits of Qingfeng Village to rebel, and you can make up such a ridiculous thing. ”
"It's true! There is a letter from the bandit leader of Qingfeng Village as evidence. ”
"Ridiculous! Based on a bandit's letter, he decided that the king of the county had rebelled, what if he wrote one to each prince? ”
Wu Zhengxing was speechless.
"Then why did the emperor approve this performance?"
At this time, Ding Shangju smiled proudly, "What are you doing kneeling, get up and sit quickly." This is unfounded, you are a county king, you are a little reckless, but I can't help you get right. ”
"Thank you for the cultivation of the teacher, the students will do their best to do their best in the future, and never disappoint the high expectations of your old man."
Ding Shangju was waiting for this sentence.
"When this fold arrived at Wan Ge Lao, he and Wan Guifei knew each other as melon vines, and they immediately saw something."
"What did the elders of the Ten Thousand Pavilion see?" Wu Zhengxing asked curiously.
"Listen to me slowly. To say that the emperor's favorite today is naturally Concubine Wan, but in the past two years, Concubine Shu has also been very favored, and she also gave birth to a prince. Concubine Wan naturally couldn't tolerate her. And isn't this concubine related to Pingyang Palace? ”
"I see!" Wu Zhengxing suddenly realized.
"Concubine Wan has explained, if you want to do the errand beautifully, you must pull Concubine Shu into the water."
"I was incompetent, and I finally got an important person certificate, which robbed them again." Governor Wu slapped the table in annoyance.
"Don't worry, I have a better witness here. Bring people up. ”
Du Yu was thrown in front of Wu Zhengxing, lying on the ground and trembling.
Ding Shangju took out a letter from his cuff and said: "This is a letter written by Wan Guifei to find someone to copy Concubine Shu's handwriting, and when the time comes, send this person to the Pingyang Palace, and arrest someone when he gets the prince's reply." ”
He then said to Du Yu with a pleasant face: "As long as you can handle this matter well and successfully get the prince's reply, I will keep you safe and sound, otherwise you will be charged with insulting the emperor, it will be too late." ”
Du Yu is an old man, of course he won't believe this nonsense.
"Teacher, what does this ask the students to do?"
"Bring him back, let him be familiar with the situation in the palace, memorize the rules of the palace, and make sure that the king of Pingyang does not suspect and finds the right time to act."
Ding Shangju didn't know that Qian Zijing asked Du Pre to pretend to be Chen's father-in-law, and thought that Du Pre was really bragging, and he relied on the gourd to draw a scoop and come up with such a play.
In this way, true and false, false and true, Du Yu sent the gods to Pingyang Palace.
This went around and around, and the prince heard it in a fog, but he only figured it out a little, it turned out that Qian Zijing, a bastard, was lying to him.
He was furious and wanted to settle accounts with Qian Zijing, but found that Master Qian had disappeared.
I hurriedly asked the family in the house, did Master Qian know that Gonggong Chen was here. Jia Ding replied that Master Qian not only knew that Gonggong Chen was coming, but also waited outside the study for a long time before leaving.
It's over.
I hurriedly reported the cause and effect of the incident to the princess, and she was shocked when she heard it, but quickly calmed down and told Wu Debiao to immediately take someone to find Qian Zijing, but not to make a noise.
The prince seemed to have been hit by several thunderbolts suddenly, and collapsed on the chair, completely unaware of what was wrong.
The princess comforted her husband: "Don't worry, please have a big matter, I am here!" ”
The prince shook his head and cried, and the princess also cried.
As the saying goes: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Wu Debiao immediately brought back another piece of bad news, "Qian Zijing was arrested by the government officials. ”
It turned out that in order to keep an eye on Du Pre's actions, Wu Zhengxing arranged people around the palace. Lord Qian sneakily ran out with a big bag of things, and was touched by Yan Lang and others.
"What are the replies that the prince gave you before?" I was reminded of something very important.
"It's all in the hands of Master Qian." Du pre replied.
"Don't panic! Qian Zijing will not take the initiative to confess, rebellion is a big crime, and it is not good for anyone to get involved. Moreover, he was an official of the imperial court, and Wu Zhengxing did not dare to torture him. The princess analyzed.
"For a while, Wu Zhengxing may not be able to do anything about him. is afraid that Ding Shangju, an old fox, would have wanted to frame the prince, and he would definitely not let go of Qian Zijing. "I gave my opinion.
"It's all at this time, and it's impossible to get away with it." The prince's voice was not loud, but he became very calm.
"You can't sit still, Lord Wang, while they haven't made any moves, let's go out of the city overnight!" Wu Debiao suggested.
"There are eyeliners all around the palace, can I walk? Find a way to take the princess out of the city. ”
"Lord Wang, what are you talking about!"
"I have a solution! Mr. and Ying'er's wedding will be held tomorrow morning, so that the flowers will make some noise in the city, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of people to see the excitement, and you can go out in the crowd. Wu Debiao came up with a seemingly feasible solution.
"Just act in this way, the gentleman will go back and prepare, and come to greet him tomorrow morning. When the time came, the princess changed her clothes and went out in the crowd. ”
"Lord Wang, won't you go with me?"
"If they find out I'm gone, no one can leave. Min'er, you go out of the city first, and I'll come to you later. ”
"No, if you want to go, let's go together."
"Min'er, let me protect you once!"
The princess couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her face.
The eastern sky has just turned out of the white belly, and the morning sun has not yet rushed out of the horizon, and the entire Pingyang City has been lively. Asked the flowers to distribute the wedding money from door to door, although there are only two copper plates, but the picture is festive.
Asking Hanako to marry a wife, and also sending money from house to house, this is a new thing that has never been seen and heard of.
"This is called the peaceful and prosperous world! Hanako can take a wife, and it's lively. Someone sighed.
"If it's really a peaceful and prosperous world! It won't be called Hanako. Others disagreed.
"This is not an ordinary flower child, this is the fairy beggar "flower child six", don't eat, don't beg for money, what you want is the peace of the world, the sentient beings of Suo are auspicious, this happy money has to be collected, stained with fairy spirit! ”
"Well said! What are the people looking forward to? Looking forward to a peaceful and auspicious soon! Today is all lively and lively. ”
This is the discussion of the common people in the city, and it is also their voice.
