Chapter 92 Murder with a knife
Of course, Xi Fuwei was also present for this discussion.
"My lord, before we do this, should we kill the mole first?" At the beginning, Yu Kedi proposed, "Otherwise, maybe the news will leak out!" ”
"I have my own opinions about the mole, so you don't have to worry about it." When Shen Steallan said this, Xi Fuwei speculated that in addition to the real traitor, whoever did not follow him wholeheartedly in Bacheng was a traitor.
After this person made an understatement, he cut to the chase, "The reason why Your Majesty sent additional guards along the canal is, in the final analysis, for the smooth opening of the river. Now that the project of Huitong River has not been done seriously, not only has the official been assassinated, but even Song Shangshu's side is not peaceful! In such a situation, there is no need to wait for the word from the north to come over, and the official also knows that His Majesty must blame us for not doing things well! At this time, the official will not say those words that serve the court only today, but only say the most practical sentence: If there is peace today, the war in the north will be in charge of His Majesty himself. Those of us who have not been able to go to the battlefield to fight, want to make meritorious contributions and open up the river, it is a godsend! ”
"Otherwise, this official will be in the mansion of Yingtianfu, and he will not be able to come to Shandong on this cold day."
He said very frankly, "What's more, the sword has no eyes, and it's not easy to say anything on the battlefield!" In contrast, our errands, even if trivial, do not cost us our lives at every turn...... No matter how rich and noble you are, if you have no life, won't you be in vain? ”
After this opening remark, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized.
Indeed, not everyone has the consciousness to die for the Ming Dynasty, but they are fighting for their own future...... Isn't that a matter of course?
"My lord, it's best to talk to the eunuchs around Your Majesty about this." Someone took the lead in saying, "That eunuch has not been very peaceful recently, isn't it that the news from Miss Shen's side, there is a secret son they sent over in the Zou Mansion?" If we do it ourselves, in case they catch us, we will talk about it in front of Your Majesty...... Isn't it self-defeating? ”
"How can you talk to those rootless things?" But immediately someone objected, "Forget the dictatorship of the eunuchs of the previous dynasty?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince who has announced the world, and it is justifiable to inherit the throne in the future. However, the King of Han and the King of Zhao are not! Who knows if those pickled goods will deliberately help King Han or King Zhao in order to make meritorious contributions to the dragon? The early years of the dynasty are not without such examples! ”
"That's when royalty is in decline." The person who proposed it before was not convinced, "With the wisdom and martial arts of His Majesty today, those pickled goods dare to think like this...... What's the difference between looking for death? ”
Those who objected said, "Ah, since they don't have the courage to do things behind His Majesty's back, you still want to find them to bully the king?!" Maybe it's going to be delivered to their door to sell to them, right? ”
Seeing that they were arguing for a long time around the question of "whether the eunuch is trustworthy", Xi Fuwei couldn't bear to pull the topic back: "The subordinates think that this matter is better connected with Kaihe." ”
"Tell me about it." Shen Weilan, who had been silent, immediately said, obviously feeling that the previous dispute was too off-topic.
"Your Majesty's determination to move the capital is very firm, and after the capital is moved, there is no canal to provide transportation, which is obviously not possible." Xi Fuwei said, "According to the way Your Majesty handled things before, your subordinates secretly thought that as long as anyone obstructed the opening of the river, Your Majesty would first get bored...... Especially at this moment, His Majesty is in the barracks, and he must not want to be distracted. ”
She thought as she spoke, "The King of Han and the King of Zhao have reasons to obstruct the opening of the river, one is that they don't want the northern Taitai to be peaceful, so that when they compete for the position of prince, their battlefield experience will come in handy; The second is that if the border is restless, the status and future of the military generals have been guaranteed, and the main supporters of the Han and Zhao kings in the court are the military generals; Of course, the three rules are because it is now the crown prince supervising the country, and the matter of opening the river, although there are important ministers personally designated by His Majesty such as Song Shangshu are responsible, but during the period when the prince is in charge of the country, the fortifications are unfavorable, how can he be completely unresponsible? ”
The most important thing is, "If the two assassinations last night and this morning were done by King Han and King Zhao...... Usually it is okay to assassinate adults, knowing that the adults came to Shandong to shoulder the holy order, but they will also poison the next time, this is not a clear explanation, in their minds, opening the river is not a big deal at all, and it is even better not to open it? ”
After looking around for a moment, she smiled meaningfully, "Of course, these are mostly speculations, and it is better to have some substantial evidence. ”
"For example...... Didn't Song Shangshu say that he would personally come to Jining to preside over the fortifications at the beginning of spring? What if, at this time, some people gathered against the start of the work? ”
Shen Steal Lan looked at each other like several general flags, all of them showing a thoughtful expression.
And at this moment, in the last wing of the small courtyard, the henchmen and big girls took turns to coax for a long time, and Xu Jingyuan still felt aggrieved.
"Why don't the slaves and maids smash the's house again, and throw her things into the dung pit this time?" An aunt in charge held a bowl of porridge, persuaded her for a long time and saw that her young lady refused to open her mouth, she was worried, and said, "After the big deal, give her a gift, say a few soft words and give some silver...... Such a person, if it weren't for Lord Shen's light, he wouldn't have the qualifications to be in front of Miss, what is it! Do you also deserve to call our young lady angry for her? ”
"My brother said that now we are under the eaves and have to bow our heads." Xu Jingyuan waved his hand and said listlessly, "And bear with it...... By the way, what about the people who were sent to chase her? Why haven't you come back yet? ”
"Is there something else to do temporarily?" As soon as she reminded her, the people looked at each other, and the aunt in charge took the lead in vaguely saying, "Or was reprimanded by Lord Shen...... It seems that there is a discussion in front of me just now, and the drips of water that are guarded outside are not allowed to be approached at all, and it is estimated that it is not easy to be isolated in other places. ”
Xu Jingyuan looked at her suspiciously: "Those two people were chased into the Moon Cave Gate by us, and they were not a few steps away from that cheap maid at that time." Even if he met Shen Thief, he wouldn't be able to say that he would hide people, right? ”
Seeing that the aunt in charge was struggling, she immediately sat up straight and asked.
The housekeeper's aunt saw that she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell her that the two healthy women chased into the moon cave door, and they were caught and beaten by Xi Fuwei, not to mention, this Xi Fuwei also ruthlessly used a golden hairpin to make a mess on them, on the grounds that they suspected that they had stolen the important secrets of Jinyiwei, and their hands slipped during the "search".
Just now, when Xu Jingchang sent someone to call Xu Jingyuan over, Xi Fuwei led the two captains, dragged the healthy woman back with her martial arts, and asked the aunt in charge to clean up her house, specifically emphasizing: "The three thousand gold leaves in my baggage also hide the secrets of Jinyiwei, if you can't see it when you come back, don't blame me for going to the adults to tell me again!" ”
"Actually, where did the three thousand gold leaves come from that cheap girl's baggage? Not in all three! Since she said it, the aunt in charge simply spoke thoroughly, and said angrily, "This is clearly blackmailing us!" ”
Xu Jingyuan's heart ached, and he pounded the bed and said: "I have grown so big, even Your Majesty has never suffered such a grievance before, since this Xi Fuwei wants to find death, then I will fulfill her!! ”
Without waiting for the housekeeper's aunt to persuade him, he called his henchman and the big girl to him, "You go outside to find two guards to send you back to Yingtianfu, and say to the outside that I think the local products here are good, so I specially sent you to send some to my mother to taste." ”
"After meeting your mother, you tell your mother these words, and ask your mother to try to convey them to Princess Han and Princess Zhao!"
"Miss, are you planning to borrow the hand of King Han or King Zhao to deal with that?" The aunt in charge was stunned when she heard this, and said a little uneasily, "But those two ...... Those two are a bit arrogant, what if they rely on our mansion from now on? ”
Although Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, did not occupy a high position, he benefited from the legacy of the Duke of Zhongyan, and he had always had a special status in front of Emperor Yongle.
King Han is afraid that he wants to get the support of the Xu family brothers and sisters in his dreams.
Xu Jingyuan didn't let the Duchess of Dingguo find him, once he found it, how could King Han not want to try his best to entangle him?
"He relies on our house? Is it on the line? Xu Jingyuan snorted when he heard this, and said, "Besides, the more he attaches importance to our house, the more he won't let go of that cheap maid after getting this news...... Then the will know how gentle Miss Ben is! ”
King Han and King Zhao were both killed in the mountain of corpses in the sea of blood, and their temperament is recognized as fierce, if they want to deal with Xi Fuwei, they are not reasonable at all, nor do they talk about means.
With their vision, they couldn't look down on the target of Xi Fuwei's level before.
Once you fall in love with ...... Xu Jingyuan didn't believe it, he couldn't get rid of this thorn in his eye!
"Then don't let Mrs. Tai come forward?" It's just that the aunt in charge recalled the actions of King Han and King Zhao, and she always felt a little upset in her heart, so she couldn't help but persuade her, "Let the maid arrive at Yingtianfu, write a letter or something, hand it over to the reliable guards, and take advantage of the cracks in the door of the Han Wang's Mansion at night...... In this way, even if it is found out afterwards, we can push it and simply refuse to admit it! ”
When she said this, the expressions of the few big girls around her who were originally planning to grab errands became subtle.
It's easy to trust the master by doing confidential things, but this kind of confidential matter may be regarded as an abandoned child afterwards...... I really don't want to touch it!
And when Xu Jingyuan decided to borrow a knife from King Han and King Zhao, Xi Fuwei was also trying to persuade Shen Weilan: "One of the brothers and sisters of the Xu family must die, really!" ”
Seeing that the boss was frowning and looking at herself with no expression, she spread her hands with a straight face, "King Han and King Zhao are His Majesty's biological flesh and blood, and they are both sisters-in-law!" What's more, His Majesty once promised His Royal Highness the throne of King Han back then, but he broke his promise afterwards, how could he not feel guilty about His Royal Highness King Han in his heart? Otherwise, after so many years, why do you still tolerate His Royal Highness the King of Han who has never been a vassal domain? ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Han's current situation is very similar to the Xu family brothers and sisters!"
"Therefore, without a sacrifice of sufficient weight, Your Majesty will not make up his mind to clean up these two sons at all!"
"And keeping them in Yingtianfu for a day is a hidden danger!"
Xi Fuwei took a step forward and stared into Shen Weilan's eyes, "My lord, right now, the brothers and sisters of the Xu family took the initiative to send them to the door, it is a godsend, how can you let it go?" You must know that if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it! ”
