Section 4 Like a goose in a cage
"Yes, it's all because of me. Yao Jin did not dodge, and looked directly at Wei Nanyan: "My plan is also very simple, I plan to ask my father and emperor for the nine cities and one river, and make the nine cities and one river independent of the vassal state." Go to his princess Li Dynasty, go to his three princesses of Fujian, I, Yao Jin, want to be my own master, and together with Wei Yan, we will live our happy life by the Jinsha River from now on. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Nanyan and Lin Yuebai were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Wei Nanyan felt a little dizzy, stood unsteady for a while, stretched out his hand to hold the chair behind him and sat down, and looked at Yao Jin in disbelief: "Independent nine cities and one river are vassal states?
"This is not a rebellion," Yao Jin looked calm, "The vassal state is still a vassal state of the Li Dynasty, and I have never usurped power, and more importantly, so that I don't have to go to the Min Kingdom to do anything like Princess Laoshizi, I can be with Wei Yan in the bright light." ”
"A feudal lord naturally can't marry into a neighboring country, but ...... How could Your Majesty possibly grant such a rebellious request?!"
"That's why they suddenly want to put Yuebai under house arrest, and that's why I ventured into the palace. Yao Jin looked at Yuebai on the side and nodded, "Naturally, my father will not allow me to have nine cities and one river for no reason, but the current situation is: if he doesn't allow it, I won't send troops to Qin Wang, my father is afraid of the dense forest army in the north, and he doesn't want the Xiguan army to be dominant, let alone sit back and watch the invasion of the Hu clan and ignore it, so he has to allow it." ”
Wei Nanyan's gaze wandered between Yao Jin and Lin Yuebai, and he said thoughtfully: "So, Miss Lin turned out to be a bargaining chip used by His Majesty to blackmail you?"
"The mother is smart, in a word. Yao Jin let go of Lin Yuebai's hand and bowed to Wei Nanyan, "I don't know if my plan is enough to say that I will take the risk to help me succeed?"
"You are a dignified princess of the Li Dynasty, you are the only daughter of Your Majesty, how noble your identity is, even if it is for Yan'er, you can go far away from the world, why do you dare to risk such a big crime of killing your head and come to such a toss?" Wei Nanyan obviously couldn't figure it out, and looked at Yao Jin puzzled.
"It's for freedom......" Lin Yuebai, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened her mouth, she stared at Yao Jin, and said word by word: "This is the Yao Jin I know." ”
"So, if they dare to threaten me with you, threaten me with the freedom that I have worked so hard to get for so long, how can I agree!" Yao Jinzhong took Lin Yuebai's hand again and bowed to Wei Nanyan together, "There is no princess here, there is no princess of Fujian, only Yao Jin, who longs for freedom and wants to spend the rest of his life with your only brother, and asks for help!"
"Freedom......" Wei Nanyan muttered, in her world, the word freedom is so familiar, but it seems to be so strange that she has never seen a word, "A woman is nothing more than a husband at home, married to her husband, husband to death, what does the word freedom mean......"
"Freedom is what you want to do, what you want, you do it, you get it! not what others want you to do, what others want you to do-" Yao Jin, where did he have the patience to reason with the ancients who were separated by thousands of years of ideological gap, and asked: "Niangniang, are you willing to help me?"
Wei Nanyan woke up suddenly, glanced at the eagerness in Yao Jin's eyes, and only felt that something in his heart "clicked". She stretched out her hand and clenched the corner of the table, looked at the red Kodan on her fingertips like blood, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll help you." What do you want me to do?"
In the early morning of the second day, the north gate.
This point is about to change shifts, and it is also the most sleepy moment for people, Bai Pei, the chief guard of the North Gate, has been holding on too tightly recently, and he, the chief of the guard, also has to make a look to follow the shift, although he is so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids are fighting, but he doesn't dare to go to the corner to hide, so he has to stare at the door and stare at it, and from time to time he yawns two long yawns. Fortunately, the people who enter and exit the north gate have always been some palace maids and eunuchs with palace affairs in the six major bureaus, and then there are rough palace envoys who send some fish, shrimp, vegetables and fruits, and since the entry and exit of ordinary palace people have been banned, these people are also those old faces, everyone is also used to coming and going, there are four guards at the door to check and ask questions, Bai Pei doesn't care much.
But a palace maid with a rather faceless face ran over in a panic at this moment, and while running, she called: "Catch her, catch her!"
Bai Pei was startled when he heard the voice, and the sleepy insects suddenly ran away, and when he saw carefully, the palace maid who came was wearing the clothes of a first-class palace maid, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Which palace is this sister from, and her subordinate is Bai Pei, the chief guard of the North Gate, I don't know what the girl is worried about?"
"I'm Si Qing next to Concubine Niangniang of Qingfeng Pavilion, this chief of guard, have you seen a girl with a veil go out of the palace?" Si Qing's little face ran red, looking left and right very nervously.
"No, no......" Bai Pei was a little weak-hearted, he had been napping just now, how did he know if there was a sister-in-law going out of the palace, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted at the top of his voice: "A few of you, have you seen a sister-in-law wearing a veil out of the palace?"
A long-faced little guard ran over energetically, "Tell the chief guard, just now there were two sisters-in-law out of the palace, both of them are old faces who have to go out of the palace every day in the six major bureaus, and they all wear waist cards, they have never worn veils, and they have not carried large items such as cages according to the rules." ”
Bai Pei said to Si Qing flatteringly: "Sister, you see, I don't have a veiled sister-in-law here, why don't I accompany you to look elsewhere?"
"Idiot!" Si Qing shouted angrily, "Won't my sister-in-law take off her veil and leave the palace!"
Bai Pei was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted angrily at the long-faced little guard: "Why don't you go and confirm the identity of the two sisters-in-law who left the palace!"
"Yes! The villain will go to the six major bureaus to confirm!" Not long after the little guard first entered the palace, he felt that he had finally encountered a major incident, and he was in high spirits for a while, and hurriedly ran away.
"What a wow!" Si Qing stomped her feet and looked at the north gate anxiously, "That girl came to Qingfeng Pavilion early in the morning by sending tea, and she was already sneaky and suspicious, but she had to go in the small kitchen to drink a cup of tea, but she had to go in to ask for peace!
"It's a thing with unclean hands and feet, dare to go to the Qingfeng Pavilion to die! Girl, don't worry, do you know that girl's name and surname? I'll go and catch it and give it to the mother!" Of course, Bai Pei knows that now the virtuous concubine of the Qingfeng Pavilion is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the queen also values it very much, if he can catch the line of the Qingfeng Pavilion, why can't he be prosperous in the future! So he hurriedly cheered up and called another guard at the door: "Quickly go and inform the people at several small gates near the north gate, and the sisters-in-law who left the palace within this hour will check them for me one by one!"
