Chapter 26: The East Palace Changes Hands (2)
Xun Yiyi: "The former pavilion master once said that the son is destined. ”
This answer did sound like the words of a monk, but it was no different from not answering at all, and I couldn't extract any useful information, so I had to ask, "What is a destined person?" ”
Xun Yiru's ghostly eyes also showed a hint of confusion, and said: "The pavilion master didn't make it clear, but just said that if the prince is the pavilion master, he can solve the danger of the Qingyu Pavilion." ”
I finally understood a little, so I had to reply very helplessly: "I ......" before I said a word, and suddenly remembered my identity, and it was too bad to talk like that just now.
I coughed in a low voice and said, "I can't do what Zen Master Huitong wants." ”
Xun Yiyi: "In any case, please listen to a certain word first." ”
I took the trouble to say, "It's a long night, and it's okay to listen." ”
He went on to talk about the current crisis that the Pavilion was currently experiencing, and of course, since I didn't even know what the Pavilion was all about, he told the history of the Pavilion in great detail.
It turns out that Qingyu Pavilion can be traced back to the time of the Sima Dynasty Wei, more than 300 years ago. Qingyu Pavilion was built in the second year of Xianxi, the son of Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan and Cao Wei to establish the Jin Dynasty, when the state government was already controlled by the Sima family, and the reigning Yuan Emperor Cao Huan was the puppet of the Sima family at the beginning of the throne, Sima Zhao died of illness in the second year of Xianxi, and a few months later his son Sima Yan followed the example of Emperor Wen of Wei to usurp Wei, and the Yuan Emperor was forced to move to Yecheng and became the king of Chenliu. In order to preserve the power of Cao Wei, the queen Bian clan united the seven families loyal to Emperor Wu of Wei at that time to form the Qingyu Pavilion, the token of the Qingyu Pavilion order, which was made of the sword of Emperor Wu and the Qingyu Sword, and the first pavilion master was the queen Bian clan, and the small character of Queen Bian was the origin of the word "Qi" on the Qingyu Pavilion order.
Originally, Qingyu Pavilion thought of recovering the country, but because Sima Yan was really good to Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan did not have the heart to restore the country, so Qingyu Pavilion was only a force to protect Emperor Yuan at that time.
"What does this have to do with the current dispute between the crown prince and the king of Jin?" After listening to Xun Yi's history, I was at a loss.
Xun Yiyi: "Originally, it didn't matter, but ...... Ding Yu, the door of the Qingyu Pavilion, with the courage to guard the King of Qin, a few years ago the King of Qin was assassinated in Bingzhou, Ding Yu killed the assassin in order to protect the King of Qin, at that time with Ding Yu with the Huitong Zen Master for the Qin Wangfu guest, also helped, and later Ding Yu was killed by the enemy, Huitong Zen Master to avoid trouble and become a monk, I didn't expect to be found out after so long, and it is said that someone threatened to destroy the Qingyu Pavilion. Zen Master Huitong knew that the enemy had found the door, so he passed the order of Qingyu Pavilion to Gongzi, hoping that Gongzi could resolve the difficulty and protect Qingyu Pavilion. ”
In other words, Monk Huitong actually threw me a mess? Those assassins who assassinated the King of Qin needless to say must be the people of the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa, Dad said that if someone kills their Zhuangke, all the people in the villa will avenge them at any cost, and now Qingyu Pavilion is being found by the enemy.
It's a joke to say that I can solve the crisis, the last time those who came to trouble my dad were all sent away by my father, and I guess I was cut in two with a sword before I could make a move. I suspected that Huitong was mistaken, and hurriedly said: "You offended the 'Seven Don't Kill' Villa?" If this is the case, it must be that Zen Master Huitong made a mistake, and he will not be able to ......."
Before I finished speaking, Xun Yi said: "Zen Master Huitong will not be mistaken, the next pavilion master will be Gongzi." ”
I thought about it for a moment - Xun Yi's purpose here was to give me orders and give them a legitimate reason to track down the truth about the prince's framing, but ...... I found a problem, in fact, finding out that the prince was framed has nothing to do with solving the problems encountered by the Qingyu Pavilion, and according to him, aren't the people in the Qingyu Pavilion hidden? Even if the people of the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa want to do something, I'm afraid they can't.
I was about to speak, Xun Yi seemed to see through my thoughts, and said: "Originally, there was no danger to the people of the Qingyu Pavilion, but there was a traitor in the pavilion, and it was this traitor who betrayed Zen Master Huitong. ”
"Have you found this traitor? Or is there anyone who is more suspicious? ”
Xun Yi shook his head, "No." The seven major families that formed the Qingyu Pavilion were the Cao family, the Bian family, the Xiahou family, the Xun family, the Ding family, the Zhang family and the Xu family, and the common surname of Huitong Zen Master was Xu, and there were not many people who knew his true identity, but none of them were suspicious. ”
When I heard the word "Xu", I remembered that Xu Ruoxiu was also surnamed Xu, and it was almost certain that she must have something to do with this pavilion, and she hurriedly moved away from Qizhou, probably to avoid trouble. The thought actually comforted me, and I forgave her almost immediately for not saying goodbye. But when I think about it, I still don't understand.
"I still don't quite understand, this seems to have nothing to do with the dispute between the princes." I listened to it for a long time, not only did I not understand it, but I was even more confused, even if the "Seven Don't Kill" Villa and Qingyu Pavilion are enemies, this feels like a fight between gangs, and it has nothing to do with the struggle for power at the top.
Xun Yi explained: "Gongzi didn't know that the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Qin died young was caused by poisoning, and the people who poisoned him were the people of the 'Seven Do Not Kill' Villa, they were not completely for the King of Jin, and partly out of revenge selfishness, just because they wanted to kill Huitong Zen Master back then, but they failed to succeed because of the obstruction of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. When His Royal Highness the King of Qin was dying, he still hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could inherit the throne smoothly, so we found His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to comfort His Royal Highness the spirit of the King of Qin in the sky. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the cup on the table and poured a glass of water to drink, and I took his words and said: "When the King of Jin is out on an expedition, you think that the prince must be fine, but who knows that someone secretly framed it, causing the prince to be deposed. "I was so weak when I said this that I suspected that my face must have been flushed, but fortunately I couldn't see it at night.
Xun nodded again and again, and said, "Childe is right. ”
I added: "It's just that King Jin is becoming more and more powerful, and it may not be easy to turn the situation around." Qingyu Pavilion is far away from the court, and you can't intervene, and your pavilion master is only below, only twelve years old, and he can't set off the wind and waves, I'm afraid that Qingyu Pavilion is destined to lose his righteousness to His Royal Highness the King of Qin under Jiuquan. ”
I saw Xun Yi bow his head gloomily, his ghostly eyes lost their brilliance, his head seemed to be nodded twice with great reluctance, and he was silent for a long time without speaking.
After listening to Xun Yixuan's story, of course I didn't feel sleepy at all, and I just stared at the white moonlight coming in from the window in a daze, and I didn't know what to say at all. I've never been comforting.
"Anyway, please give it a try." Xun Yi pleaded.
I thought for a moment and said to him, "Can I trust you?" ”
Xun Yiyi: "Yes." ”
I said, "You don't have to bother to investigate, I can tell you right now that it is none other than my father who framed His Royal Highness ......the Prince."
Xun Yi raised his head suddenly, his hand pressed the hilt of the knife, and his cold eyes were like sharp blades, stabbing me very uncomfortable.
I paused and continued: "It's not that my father is willing to do it, the assassination of the Shifu in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year was done by the Jin King's 'Seven Don't Kill' Villa." The king of Jin threatened the lives of the whole house, and my father's move was really helpless, and I ask for your understanding. ”
Xun Yi loosened the hand holding the handle of the knife and said, "Childe is so honest, Xun Yi bows to him." ”
I said: "I can't hide it, in my opinion, if you want to protect the Qingyu Pavilion, it is best not to interfere in the dispute of the East Palace, and the 'Seven Do Not Kill' Villa that contributed to the King of Jin originally wanted to get rid of the Qingyu Pavilion." If Qingyu Pavilion still doesn't let go at this time, and has to be the enemy of King Jin, I'm afraid that even if Zen Master Huitong is still there, Qingyu Pavilion will not be able to be preserved. ”
Xun Yi didn't speak, even I, an outsider, knew this, and he must have understood. However, everyone understands the truth, but people in the bureau often think clearly but act confusedly, which is probably the so-called "authorities are confused".
Seeing that he didn't speak, I said, "Actually, in terms of wisdom and strategy, I appreciate King Jin more." Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fallen out of favor, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin's last wish may be difficult to fulfill, and now that the 'Seven Do Not Kill' Villa is serving His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I am afraid that he will not have time to take care of the Qingyu Pavilion, and the best way is not to take the initiative to provoke them. If I am indeed the Pavilion Master of the Green Pavilion, I suggest that the Green Pavilion should not meddle in this matter again, what do you think? ”
Xun Yi seemed to be stunned for a moment, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, only replied "yes". The sky outside the window changed from bright to dark, and gradually seemed to show a hint of whiteness, he looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "The sky is getting brighter, and my subordinates are retiring." Without waiting for my reaction, he tiptoed away.
From this night on, I had my own secrets.
Things are developing in the established direction, no matter what forces want to intervene in any way, in October of the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, King Jin was still canonized as the crown prince without any suspense, with the power of King Jin in the court now, this means that the prince has lost the opportunity to turn the tables, and he is about to withdraw from the stage of history.
Not long after King Jin was crowned crown prince, another minister of the court, Shi Wansui, who had been a staunch supporter of the deposed crown prince, also suffered. The process of suffering is like a program set in the game, the previous Lu Kaiming, Yu Qingze not long ago, and then this Shi Wansui, were all convicted by an established pattern, and finally hung up without any suspense. Shi Wansui also died a tragic death - he was hung outside the palace gate and beaten to death.
King ...... Jin No, it's the crown prince now, the crown prince's methods of eliminating dissidents are sharp and harsh, and the father can't help but shake his head and sigh when he talks about it, feeling sorry for the courtiers who have been degraded or killed, but I am very glad that I have a high-level player father who has hidden all the tricks and can protect us in the complicated court battle. But other than that, although my explanation that night convinced Xun Yi, there was no way to convince myself, in fact, since my father participated in the framing of the prince, my opinion of him has become more and more ambiguous.
