Chapter 43: Who's Playing Chess

The Dugu clan was about to persuade Yang Ying softly, but Yuan Zhou had already brought the eldest Sun Sheng to push the door in: "Madam, there is news, there is nothing to do with the fairness." ”

Dugu's spirit was greatly lifted: "The news is accurate? ”

Changsun Sheng hurriedly came out from behind: "Madam, I personally helped Suigong out of the palace, and now Suigong is still outside the palace, he wants me to tell Madame first, and let Madame quickly enter the palace to plead with the emperor, otherwise the queen may still have something." ”

Dugu and Changsun Sheng have met a few times, and her husband has praised Changsun Sheng, so he has a deep impression of Changsun Sheng, and he recognized it at once, but he didn't believe it immediately, but looked at Changsun Sheng with questioning eyes, Changsun Sheng hurriedly took out Yang Jian's jade pendant, Dugu took the jade pendant, and there was no doubt: "Okay, I'll leave immediately." ”

Dugu came out of the hall and told the situation, the five or six hundred soldiers and horses gathered in the courtyard hurriedly took off their armor and weapons, and dispersed from the back door, and there was not even a slightly louder sound in the middle, these people are the old troops brought out by Yang Jian for decades, and they are usually hidden near the Suiguo Mansion, once they are called, they can immediately form an army. Naturally, they are all elite.

After doing this, the Dugu clan changed into a civilian woman's clothes, and the eldest grandson Sheng personally drove the carriage to the palace, all the way to the palace, all the way to the palace galloping, Yang Jian had left, Dugu didn't care about looking for Yang Jian, and hurriedly reported to the guards to see Emperor Tianyuan.

A janissary hurried away, only to quickly come back in a hurry, and said to the Dugu clan: "Madam, Tianzun is busy. ”

Dugu was anxious: "Tianzun doesn't want to see each other. ”

"Yes."

"Deliberating on national affairs?"

Dugu held back a breath of anger to ask like this, everyone knows that the emperor hates national affairs the most.

The guards were a little embarrassed, in fact, the emperor was playing chess with Zheng Yi, and the guards didn't report the matter of the Dugu clan at all, but it was not easy to say it directly.

Changsun Sheng took a step forward: "How about bothering you to pass it on again?" ”

The guard shook his head: "Eldest Sun Lang, it's not that I don't want to report, the queen is still kneeling, Tianzun still has no intention of pardoning, you also know Tianzun's temper, if you report now, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." ”

Changsun Sheng understood that what the guards said was true, and he hesitated, and the guards continued: "Qi Wangxian, Yuwen Xiaobo, Yuwen Shenju, and Wang Liang all refuted Tianzun speechless, but they all died, and the queen also reasoned with Tianzun, so there was this disaster, although Sui Guogong was thrilling just now, but everything went according to Tianzun, and in the end there was no danger, if Mrs. wants to save the queen, you must not forcibly report, let alone reason with Tianzun." ”

Dugu looked at the guard puzzled: "How can you save the queen like this?" ”

The guard pointed to the bluestone slab outside: "Madame can kneel for a long time, it is better to intercede, if it is not a day, it will be two days, if you faint, it is better to speak generously, crying ten thousand times, and Mrs. is now full of grievances, that is, she has seen Tianzun, and if she does not agree, it is more dangerous." ”

Listening to the guard's reasonableness, Dugu Jialuo nodded, kneeling on the bluestone slab without saying a word, it was the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the sun was like fire, the bluestone slab had already been steaming, Dugu only knelt down to the tea, he was already sweating profusely, his whole body was soaked, and now it was just at nine o'clock (nine o'clock) It was so difficult, how to get through the afternoon.

I just remembered the important matter I discussed with my husband a few days ago, no matter how difficult it is, I have to endure it, if the queen is deposed, even if the government is kept, she will have to be slaughtered in the future, and she must not let her father's tragedy below her husband again.

Today's Shu Mansion is much more lively than in the past, from time to time people come in and out, Wei Chiyun and Wei Chishun are also anxious like ants on a hot disaster. They only got the news when Yang Jian entered the palace, the emperor suddenly became furious, and wanted to give death to the Empress Tianyuan, and at the same time, Suiguo Gong was also announced to enter the palace, the two of them were immediately overjoyed, knowing that it must be Wei Chi Fanchi had already made a move, and the wind on the pillow was really extraordinary, just a few days of effort, seeing that the Suiguo Mansion was about to disappear.

As soon as Yang Jian was removed, no one in the Shu Mansion could no longer compete, and at that time, King Zhao had no use value, and it was not impossible for the Wei Chi family to replace the Yuwen family.

"Report." A general scurried over from outside.

"How's it going?" The two brothers stood up from their chairs at the same time and asked questions, showing eagerness.

It's just that the general's answer disappointed them: "Sui Guogong came out of the palace safely." ”

Wei Chishun waved his hand, signaled the general to retreat, and sighed: "Pu Liurujian is really lucky, so he won't fall." ”

"Slow." Wei Chiyun stopped the general: "How is the Empress Tianyuan?" ”

"Back to the master, she is still kneeling in the middle palace, and Tianzun has not forgiven her."

The two of them suddenly perked up: "Go down, tell someone to keep an eye on the palace, and report every move quickly." ”

"Yes."

After the family general stepped back, the two sat down at the same time, waiting patiently.

"Report, Mrs. Dugu from the Guogong Mansion came to the palace and asked to see Tianzun, but she was not allowed to do so, and is now kneeling on the bluestone slab outside.

"Pu Liurujian."

"Pu Liurujian has not seen his figure since he came out of the palace."

Wei Chiyun waved his hand to let the general, who didn't know if it was the dozen or so reports, went down, and sighed: "Pu Liurujian's trick is wonderful, he doesn't intercede himself, but asks his wife to intercede, the emperor is easy to be impulsive, and it is very likely that he will be pardoned, if he misses this opportunity, he will still be willing to cooperate in the future, and it will be difficult to start again." ”

Indeed, the key to being able to go so smoothly this time is to catch the Suiguo Mansion off guard, and when Yang Jian has a visit, it will be difficult to start again, not to mention that with Yang Jian's power, if the cause of this incident is found, Yang Jian may not use the Empress Tianyuan to counterattack the Wei Chi family.

"Brother, what should I do, this time I finally persuaded Chi'er, the Empress Tianyuan is the head of the five queens, and she accompanied the emperor all the way from the crown prince, I am afraid that even if Chi'er goes all out in the future, she will not be the opponent of the Empress Tianyuan." Wei Chishun said worriedly.

Yang Lihua has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to fight, it doesn't mean that she will let others ride on her head and not fight back, otherwise she, the queen of Tianyuan, will also be unstable, and it is her character that has also won the respect of several other queens.

Wei Chiyun shook his head: "With Chi'er's intelligence, he may not leave any tricks, but Pu Liurujian doesn't need any evidence, just doubt it." ”

Wei Chishun was even more anxious, but he couldn't think of any good way to reverse the situation, the longer the delay, the more likely it was that Emperor Tianyuan would pardon the empress.

"There it is." Yu Chiyun suddenly slapped the table, startling Yu Chishun.

"What is the brother's law?"

"Immediately send someone to contact all the courtiers separately, and ask them to go outside the palace to ask Tianzun to pardon Empress Tianyuan."

Wei Chishun was puzzled at first, but he knew that his brother could not help Yang Jian, so he frowned and thought for a while before he figured out the joints: "Wonderful, it is called pleading, but it is actually urging life." ”

With the temperament of Emperor Tianyuan, he didn't intercede, and when he saw a large number of courtiers interceding for Empress Tianyuan, Empress Tianyuan couldn't escape even if she was innocent, you Pu Liurujian could hide from yourself, could you hide from other ministers to intercede?

The sun in the sky is becoming more and more poisonous, and in a blink of an eye, Dugu has been kneeling under the scorching sun for an hour, her lips are dry, her body is already shaking, Yang Jian is hiding not far from the palace and watching, his heart is like a knife, and he secretly swears, Dugu Jialuo, you have been a noble girl since you were a child, if it weren't for me, why should you suffer so much, if you have a great cause in the future, then Luo Ting will live up to you in your life.

Changsun Sheng was uncomfortably hot in the shade, he looked up at the sun in the sky getting higher and higher, sighed, and hurriedly took a bowl of water out and gave it to Dugu's, Dugu took it, drank it in one goo, and continued to kneel.

At noon, Zheng Yi finally finished playing chess with Emperor Tianyuan, shook a gold fan, and walked out of the palace slowly, ignoring the Dugu clan who was kneeling. Apparently he already knew about it.

Eldest Sun Sheng smiled and asked, "Lord Zheng, how is the victory or defeat in the morning?" ”

Zheng Yi sighed: "Tianzun seems to be restless, this official has won two games in a row, and now he has changed his clothes, and after a while, this official will have to fight against Tianzun." ”

Changsun Sheng was taken aback, the emperor lost two games of chess in a row, I am afraid that the mood is very bad, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

"My lord, do you play chess with Tianzun to win or lose or be happy with Tianzun."

Zheng Yi was stunned: "Of course, I am happy with Tianzun." He reacted suddenly, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "People say that the eldest grandson is a talented person, and it is rare, sure enough." After saying that, he turned around and entered the palace.

A group of ministers in the distance rushed towards the palace, Yang Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped out to stop the ministers: "What are you doing here?" ”

Yang Su led the crowd out: "Sui Guogong, we got the news that the Empress Tianyuan was going to be executed by the emperor for no reason, and we came to intercede with the emperor." ”

The officials in the back said together: "Yes, we are here to intercede for the queen." ”

An official said: "Suigong, you are also here, just to lead everyone to knock on the palace together." ”

Yang Jian secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly bowed: "I thank you for your kindness, but if you think about the Great Empress of Tianyuan, you should go back." ”

One person said unhappily: "If the king is wrong, the minister should admonish him, although the Empress Tianyuan is the daughter of the princess, but it is related to the stability of the Great Zhou Society, and we are safe." ”

Yang Jian suddenly couldn't say it, these courtiers were enthusiastic, and he couldn't scold him, the Yuan Zhou behind Yang Jian had already heard Yang Jian talk about why he didn't save his daughter, and he understood it better than these courtiers, and stood up and shouted to the ministers: "Who are you who invited you, this is a plan to harm the queen, don't retreat quickly." ”

The ministers immediately looked at each other, they were all suddenly told that the emperor wanted to kill the empress of Tianyuan, let everyone rescue together, otherwise it would be too late, everyone was in a hurry, and hurried before thinking about it, and met many colleagues on the road, and entered the palace together.

Yang Jian hurriedly said: "Everyone, the Great Empress of Tianyuan is the daughter of her father, if she can be saved, how can her father stop it, and please go back, Tianzun is just joking with the queen, as long as the anger is gone, it will be fine." ”

Since Yang Jian said it so clearly, if he didn't leave, it would be a blatant opposition to him, and everyone had to return one after another, scattering like birds and beasts in an instant.

In the emperor's harem, Yang Lihua still knelt there motionless, her legs were already numb, even her heart was numb, several years of husband and wife love, just a few words on the top, the emperor said to turn his face but turned his face, but he didn't know that her mother was kneeling under the scorching sun for her.

In the middle hall where their mother and daughter were kneeling, Emperor Tianyuan was still inseparable from Zheng Yi. The old eunuch who was standing on the side and watching glanced inward and muttered: "In this weather, the ground is scorched, but some people are not afraid of death, kneeling on the bluestone slab to expose themselves to the sun, and have been basking in the sun for several hours, which is really strange." ”

The situation on Emperor Tianyuan's chessboard was still not good, one of his big dragons rushed left and right, with only one eye, and he was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?" ”

The old eunuch bowed down and said, "The slave didn't say anything, it's all nonsense, saying that there is a woman who is exposed to the sun outside the palace." ”

"Who."

"The old slave has been dazzled, and he only sees that it seems to be a folk woman, I'm afraid it's a madman."

The emperor is not a stupid person, he naturally guessed who it was, his mind was suddenly disordered, and he made a mess, and when he saw it clearly, he secretly complained, this son was put on the periphery, as long as Zheng Yi made another move, his big dragon was completely hopeless.

Zheng Yi said happily: "Accept, accept!" If this game of chess Weichen can't win, it's providence! After saying that, his hand shook, and the chess piece fell, just blocking his eye.

Emperor Tian Yuan laughed: "There is no regret about the son." "Quickly played a son, killed all of Zheng Yi's pieces, and revived his big dragon, one in and one out, this game of chess Emperor Tianyuan has already won.

Zheng Yi's face was full of remorse: "How can this be, no, I didn't fall there." ”

Emperor Tianyuan was triumphant: "Just now, Ben Tianzun didn't play there, and he didn't regret his moves, you can only blame yourself, who wants your hands to shake." ”

"Providence, providence, I didn't expect that as soon as the minister finished speaking, it would be like this, and the minister's mouth would not dare to talk nonsense in the future." Zheng Yi looked infinitely annoyed.

Emperor Tianyuan suddenly became interested: "Come, come, let's continue, today we will win or lose in five sets, and this Tianzun will take the lead in one game." ”
