Chapter 391: The Old Thing's Old Face Doesn't Work

The room with the brazier was warm, but the cold wind could still be heard outside the door with only a thick cotton curtain, and the shouts of the marching soldiers could still be heard. Zhang Yue didn't look at Wang Yu, he just quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart, but the more he calculated, the more he felt a headache - things came too quickly and too suddenly!

Of course, he knew that Meng Xian was keen on fame and fortune and was ambitious. However, it is one thing to have ambitions to help King Zhao seize the heir, and it is another thing to pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner and rebel. Now that the forged edicts are all placed here, the word rebellion can be said to have been nailed to death on the Meng family. Even if the emperor remembered the merits of Baoding Hou Mengshan in the past, and saved the family of this generation of Baoding Hou Mengying, but because of the crime of rebellion, Meng Xian's family will definitely die! Moreover, if the crown prince Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne the next day, even Meng Ying will inevitably be liquidated, which is simply killing a bunch of people by one person!

Putting these troubles aside for the time being, he asked in a deep voice, "Since you have brought this forged edict over, what about your uncle?" ”

"My uncle took out the edict after getting drunk, and I was frightened after reading it, and repeatedly begged him to plan for the family, not to do such a thing to destroy the nine clans, and not to touch the stone with an egg, but my uncle refused to listen." Thinking of his uncle Gao Zheng, who was blushing and pointing at his nose and scolding at that time, Wang Yu couldn't help but shudder, "At that time, he picked up a chair and smashed it on my head, saying that a manly husband didn't even have any ambitions, and he raised me for so many years...... I thought he was just angry, but when I dodged, he slammed into my arm without sparing, as if he was really trying to kill me! ”

At this moment, Wang Yu only felt that there seemed to be the terrifying situation in front of him again, and even his voice trembled involuntarily: "Shu'er heard the movement and came in to dissuade her, but was pushed away by her uncle. He flipped the table again, pointed to my nose and said that no matter what I did, it was irreversible. Either I listen to him and follow Master Meng to do a good job, or I will die with Shu'er...... At that time, I saw that Shu'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and trembled, and I didn't know where I got the courage, so I got up and knocked my uncle unconscious...... That's my uncle, who has loved me since I was a child, how dare I touch a finger on weekdays! But rebellion is a great rebellion, the emperor is wise and powerful, how can they succeed, I don't want to put the whole family in! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but hug her head with her hand suddenly: "Su'er has a body, I can't let her even be a mother and give her life in a daze!" ”

The light of the brazier reflected on his head, revealing an infinitely bleak color. And Zhang Yue looked at his desperate appearance, and knew very well in his heart - although Wang Yu had merit in plotting rebellion, his uncle Gao Zheng was dead, and his wife and children would definitely be affected. But if it is not revealed, then it is likely that Wang Yu's own family will die together!

Although he didn't know what the explosion was, he still had three guards in his hand, which were the ones that Wang Yu said he could enter and exit the palace with only a seal! The whole thing has been leaked out, even if he is indifferent here, and some people expose it, then things will be even more out of control!

As soon as he stood up, he hurried to the door and lifted the heavy cotton curtain. For a moment, the cold wind hit me like a knife, and there were even snow particles in the middle. With the help of that bone-chilling chill, he felt a little clearer in his head. Stretching out his hand to summon Zhao Hu, he used the most concise words to explain everything that should be said, and only then did he whisper at the end: "Tell Lord Yuan all this, you must be fast." I can only wait here for half an hour, and if you don't come back after half an hour, I will immediately take Wang Yu into the palace to face the saint. If you can't find Lord Yuan in the yamen, go to the place where the explosion just exploded, remember, be careful and careful. ”

"Don't worry, sir!"

Seeing Zhao Hu get out of the yard and gallop away, Zhang Yue didn't put down the curtain for a long time. If an explosion of magnitude just now had to involve gunpowder, if not the Armaments Bureau or the Gunpowder Bureau. If it's gunpowder, where does it come from? Why did the explosion occur? Is it a coincidence or a deliberate one? What exactly is the purpose......

I don't know how long he stood there, until he felt that his original warm body was cold and numb, he stiffly let go of his hand and let the cotton curtain fall heavily. After turning around, he found that Wang Yu didn't seem to have moved at all, and he was still in the same position as before. He walked forward slowly, and sat down in the seat he had just taken. He didn't say anything about the righteousness of destroying relatives and so on, in the face of such a big change, all choices were instantaneous, not to mention that Wang Yu had tried his best to persuade him.

"In half an hour, I will take you into the palace to face the saint."

Wang Yu, who was in a state of turmoil, didn't react much when he heard this, however, after a long time, he reacted all of a sudden, and raised his head and looked at Zhang Yue in dismay. Seeing that he didn't mean to joke at all, he understood the meaning, and was immediately frightened: "I've never seen the emperor, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will lose ground, wouldn't it be better if the adult was a substitute?" ”

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't feel worthy of being a relative of the Zhang family, so he instinctively changed to the most pleasant title at this time. Seeing Zhang Yue staring at him, he flinched a little in his heart, but then he mustered up the courage to look back: "Although I have to come out and denounce it, it is already extremely unfilial to sue the elder as a junior, let alone ...... in front of the emperor."

"If you go, maybe you can still let your aunt and cousins have a way to live, if you don't go, then I can only repay the truth, and the rest of the love can't help, do you understand? Although it may not be effective to know and reason in front of the emperor, it may be effective to move it with emotion. Besides, if the emperor asks me where this forged edict came from, I will still have to tell you about it, and then the emperor will be angry and order a summons, and you will not have so much cheapness. ”

Although he was in a good mood when he saw Zhang Yue send Zhu Ning away in the morning, and he took a big turn in the palace city in the afternoon, but with a heavy snowfall losing his interest, Zhu Di's face was as gloomy as the sky. When the violent explosion came in the evening, he immediately ordered someone to go out to investigate, and then when Zhang Qian came to report, he did not hesitate to order the four gates of the palace to prohibit entry and exit, and when Zhu Ning arrived in a hurry, he was already on the verge of rage, and he let go after she talked and coaxed him a lot.

Such an inexplicable thing was blocked in his heart, Zhu Di didn't even have the heart to have dinner, but Zhu Ning persuaded him again, so he reluctantly sat down. Now it is the mourning period of the prince of Zhao Wang, and the hot dishes are fried bean sprouts, stewed tofu, stewed eggplant, splendid soup and so on, plus two dim sum of bean paste and sesame oil cake. Several young eunuchs wearing scarves carefully arranged the imperial food on the table, and then they all glanced at Zhu Ning.

Zhu Di has always been frugal in his diet, but he must see meat at a meal, and he has to use a lot of pork and mutton for a meal. At this time, seeing that these dishes were all vegan, he couldn't help but think of his grandson who had died, and the chopsticks he had just raised were suddenly put down again. Seeing this situation, Zhu Ning on the side could only gesture with his eyes, put the splendid soup in the front, and personally went to bring the plate of bean paste small steamed buns.

"Fourth uncle, this bean paste small steamed bun is a recipe that I have personally changed, it is not sweet or greasy, can you try it? As for the splendid soup, it is not only a nice name, but also nourishing the body. ”

Because it was Zhu Ning who spoke, even if Zhu Di had no interest in eating, he had to reluctantly eat it at this time. It wasn't until Zhu Ning commanded a few eunuchs from the side to come up one by one, and he was very accompanied by some trivial things outside, that he finally slowed down a little, and then ordered to pass on two more meats. Although Zhu Di needs to serve filial piety for his grandson for a year, the Son of Heaven mourns the emperor for the first emperor and still uses days for months, let alone for his grandson, so no one dares to say anything about this diet. However, just as a few of the little eunuchs of Shangshan Jian were running out quickly, a sharp and bright voice suddenly came from outside.

"The old slave priest and eunuch Huang Yan begged to see the emperor!"

"Why is this old guy here at this time? Let him in. ”

If someone else asked to see him at dinner, Zhu Di would definitely not want to order him to go out immediately. However, after all, Huang Yan has been serving with him since he opened Beiping, and after he ascended the throne, he took care of the huge celebrant and supervisor quite organized, and every time he went to North Korea, he couldn't summon the heroes and generals into the palace all the time, and only such an old guy could accompany him to talk about family life anytime and anywhere. However, when Huang Yan fell to the ground as soon as he came in, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing here!"

"Your Majesty, Jiang Bao took it away to Dongchang, the old slave really doesn't understand, Dongchang first checked the old slave when he went to North Korea to sell smuggled goods, and this time he simply took Jiang Bao away, where did Lu Feng's little monkey come from so bold!"

Others dare not rely on the old and sell the old in front of Zhu Di, but Huang Yan is an exception. I think that when Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beiping at the time of the Jing disaster, he dared to complain behind his back, not to mention Lu Feng's provocation? Walking two steps forward, he told him about the evil deeds of Jiang Bao forcibly detained by someone from Dongchang, and then kowtowed again and again.

"The emperor is clear, Lu Feng clearly pampers himself and does not take the old slave in his eyes. Jiang Bao's adopted son committed a crime, but he has followed the emperor for many years, does the emperor not know whether he is loyal or traitorous? What kind of thing is Lu Feng, if it weren't for someone to support him behind his back, how could he dare to ignore the upper and lower levels so much! ”

Zhu Ning on the side only felt that the shape of this old guy was extremely disgusting, and he almost couldn't help but want to open his mouth to stab him. At this moment, a loud announcement came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the young eunuch Haishou of the Imperial Horse Prison asks to see you."

"Why did you all come together?" The distraught Zhu Di instinctively frowned, and shouted, "Get in!" ”

Although Hai Shou is a petty-minded and charming person, he naturally doesn't really roll in obediently after hearing such a sentence. After hurrying in and saluting, he glanced at Huang Yan in front of him, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after the explosion just now, someone shot something into the palace wall, and the guards have already gone to check." Because the four doors of the inner palace were closed, Gonggong Lu of Dongchang asked people to report, saying that Jiang Zhizi, the young eunuch of the master of ceremonies, pretended to be a eunuch and wanted to infiltrate the inner palace, and was taken by Lord Zhang on the spot to send it to the inner Dongchang, and it is said that he also found something rebellious on his body......"

Hearing this, Huang Yan only felt his head bang on the ground. Jiang Chong is his right-hand man, and he has asked Jiang Chong to go out to spread the news in the past few days, saying that the emperor does not like the crown prince, but prefers King Zhao, and now the imperial grandson is seriously ill and cannot afford to change hands in the East Palace, and so on. These words are of course a great rebellion, but if you want to say something that is contrary to the truth, where do you start? Now is the best opportunity, he asked Meng Xian to help build momentum, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the East Palace has not yet arrived in Jingshi to deceive the emperor and establish the prince, could it be that Meng Xian still did something behind his back that he shouldn't do?

By the way, the explosion at first...... Is it gunpowder?

Countless fatal thoughts popped up for a while, Huang Yan only felt that his eyes were black, and the plan to complain when he entered the Qianqing Palace had long since disappeared, replaced by an indescribable horror. And Zhu Ning on the side finally tasted it, knowing that some people had plans not to move, seeing Zhu Di's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and he immediately understood that the emperor was going to be angry.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhu Di slammed his fist on the table, and roared sharply: "It exploded again before, and this time someone actually shot something into the palace wall, so bold!" Zhang Yue, what are those guards doing, let him take someone to investigate and arrest, if he gets it, he will be killed! What else is there that is so rebellious...... Well, that's great, I'm going to see what kind of rebellious thing it is! Spread the decree, let Lu Feng come to the Qianqing Palace quickly, bring Jiang Bao, and what kind of adopted son! ”

Seeing that Haishou hurriedly retreated after agreeing, Zhu Di glanced at the leftovers in front of him and waved his hand impatiently. Seeing this situation, Zhu Ning hurriedly beckoned to the little eunuch on the side and ordered him to go to Shangshan Supervisor to pass the word, and the two kinds of meat were not busy for the time being. When she turned around, she found that Zhu Di stood up and glared at Huang Yan viciously, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart.

The old face of the old thing, it won't work this time!

Zhu Di walked up to Huang Yan in three or two steps, eager to kick this old guy to death with a heartwarming foot, but in the end, he held back because of his old love for many years. Seeing Huang Yan lying pitifully on the ground and not daring to raise his head, he took a deep breath, and finally reprimanded coldly: "Get out of the way, and I'll clean you up when I figure out the matter." ”

"Old slave Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie!"

Although he said such a sentence, after Huang Yan kowtowed repeatedly, he didn't dare to get up at all, but he kneeled to the side as if he had been amnestied. It wasn't until the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Zhu Di returning to his seat, and Zhu Ning was holding a cup of tea and handing it over, that he threw aside the tingling pain in his knees and head, and there was only one thought in his mind.

God forbid, don't be Meng Xian's rebellion, don't be Jiang Chong and Meng Xian mixing together!
