Volume 2 The Scroll of the Wind Chapter 39 The Day of the Strike The Rats Loomed
The morning star rises, and the morning sun is wrapped in clouds, dyeing the eastern horizon a purple red, just like Wang Xi's name, the dawn breaks.
Cold! In the cold winter, I don't live in a warm house, but I like to cool off in the yard, the bluestone floor is covered with a thick layer of frost, and all the generals in the Hou Mansion are frozen with blue noses and swollen faces, and there is a fire plate next to Wang Xi, which is close at hand, but it is still so cold that people can't wait to put their hands into the fire.
Xin Yue'e sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes and recuperated, Ling Xudu was tied up like a dumpling and leaned on the general who was guarding him, and snored.
"Ahh Wang Xi rubbed his nose: "Go get some hot tea, and then let Lan Gu cook some hot soup, put more ginger slices, and bring everyone a bowl to warm up and warm up." ”
"Yes," behind Zhang Lin, a general of the Hou Mansion retreated, the generals of the Hou Mansion were the surviving soldiers of the former Zhangjia Zhuangzi, they were all very familiar with each other, this person had a fresh face, but Zhang Shi and the others did not feel strange at all.
Not long after, before the light of day, in the corner of the backyard of Bailu Houfu, a carrier pigeon soared into the sky.
With the first dawn drum sounded on the Chengtian Gate of the main gate of Taiji Palace, the whole Chang'an City began to slowly recover, in the bird's-eye view of Chang'an, the gate of each fang city seems to be opened in turn with the sound wave transmission of the drum, the merchants of the morning market opened the shop, lifted the thick linen covered in the cage fan at the door, the hot Hu cake attracted the pedestrians of the market, and the left armed guard officers and soldiers who patrolled the streets of each fang city began to change the guard.
Ouyang Yin hurried towards the Ganlu Palace, the palace was full of busy maids and eunuchs, and they had to prepare hot water and other things for washing before the nobles in the palace got up.
There were strict rules on the king's schedule, and there were special positions in the palace to supervise the emperor's rest. When he lasted until about the third watch, in order to maintain his energy to cope with today's court, Li Er went back to the Manna Hall where he went to bed.
When the dawn drum sounded, Li Er, who had not slept steadily, suddenly got up, once the doors of the markets opened, the team of Chang'an County ordered the coffin to carry the coffin and cry the hall to set off, as soon as he thought of this, Li Er got up irritably and paced back and forth in the hall.
There was a noise outside the hall, and only Gao Fucheng's voice was heard anxiously: "Ouyang Duwei, Your Majesty has just fallen asleep in the third watch, don't be disturbed..."
Li Er shouted: "Is it Ouyang Yin?!" Call him in! ”
The door slammed open, and a chill hit me.
Ouyang Yin stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the White Deer Waiting Mansion that the Ghost Valley Sect Master will appear in the White Deer Waiting Mansion tonight!" ”
Li Er was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, the city was closed for four days, and the people's grievances were boiling, and now they are finally going to see it? !
But what should the court staff do for a while, Chang'an County carries the coffin and cries the hall, Gao Shilian and others, who have always opposed Wang Xi's entry into the court, plus several Confucians from the Boling Cui clan and Guozijian, will inevitably stir up the court in the city.
The last time the court staff was a marquis for Wang Xi, he had already fought with the ministers once, and the old ministers of the Wude Dynasty had a handful of snot and tears, which made Li Er upset, Li Er was a Ming Jun who could accept advice, but Li Er could still distinguish between admonishing for the sake of the government and admonishing Li Er for the sake of fame.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Er has already begun to use his Qin Wangfu's henchmen to arrange into the court, but since he ascended the throne in August, it has only been April, and only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have entered the center of the court.
"Your Majesty, why worry, since you can see the situation clear tonight, it is inevitable that the courtiers will be noisy, it is better to stop for a day!" Yu Wenfeng walked slowly, and saluted Li Er with the appearance of an old god.
Li Er smiled, he was worthy of being a human spirit who had gone through three dynasties, and he was in vain to make an exception, and handed over to him a confidant organization such as the internal and external officials, and gave him the position of the protector of the capital of the second grade.
Dadu Protector, even if he trusts someone again, it is impossible to be easily sealed, but for an eighty-year-old old eunuch, even if he is crowned a king, what can he do? What's more, the position of the foreign officer is an obscure thing.
The prison guards hurried out in all directions, announcing Li Er's will to the whole city, and the civil and military ministers who were about to go out to the court or were already on the way back to their homes.
Chang'an County Ling Cui Hefeng looked at the direction of Miyagi with a blue face, and snorted angrily: "What about the boycott?" Some, if you fight this old bone, you also want to get justice for my son! ”
As a result, the citizens of Chang'an looked at the Chang'an County Order in sackcloth, and the mighty team behind them carried a coffin towards Miyagi.
Xu Jingzong was very afraid, as one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, because of his age, he was far from being respected, after Li Er ascended the throne, all the old people in the Qin Palace's mansion were promoted to heaven, either promoted and reused, or about to be promoted and reused.
However, Xu Jingzong is still working as a teaching assistant in obscurity in Guozijian, and Xu Jingzong, who boasts of his talent, is very unwilling and has been looking for opportunities to take the position.
Xu Jingzong heard that this Guigu disciple humiliated Kong Yingda, the thirty-first grandson of Confucius, on the top of the Golden Palace, and his mind became lively.
Confucianism is the mainstream since the Han Dynasty, the world's scholars all regard themselves as Confucianists, although they are also one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, Kong Yingda's reputation in Shilin is far from being comparable to Xu Jingzong's small footsteps. And he, Xu Jingzong, can only be a small teaching assistant in Guozijian!
However, for more than a month, Wang Xi, who has been tepid, suddenly wants to be crowned a marquis, the Manchu Dynasty criticizes, and the ministers die admonishment, Xu Jingzong feels that the opportunity has come, this is a great opportunity to show favor to Kong Yingda, as long as the descendants of Confucius are recognized and willing to recommend themselves to enter the court, Xu Jingzong is confident that he can be reused quickly with his talents!
So, just a few words to provoke, Cui Jiewen, who was already hot-headed, called his friends to Wang Xi's mansion, as long as he pretended to mention this matter to Kong Yingda inadvertently in the future, the relationship needs to be cultivated slowly~
Then two of the twelve guards entered the city and blocked Chang'an, Xu Jingzong didn't care until Cui Jiewen was nailed to death in Wang Xi's mansion, Xu Jingzong was a little panicked, desperately inquired about everything, after learning that the murderer had attacked the palace at night, Xu Jingzong panicked all day ~~
Fear, that day in the Qin Palace, for the eighteenth bachelor, the dispute between the King of Qin and the prince is extremely dangerous, Xu Jingzong has been cautious in his words and deeds, especially after the King of Qin drank a banquet in the East Palace, was poisoned and vomited blood, Xu Jingzong was already thinking about how to surrender to the prince.
Xu Jingzong didn't see the tragedy of Xuanwu Gate, but Xu Jingzong remembered how miserable the former ministers of the Prince's Mansion were.
Yes, the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng and the leader of the East Palace, Xue Wanche, not only survived, but were also reused under the command of the new monarch, but what about them?
Li Jiancheng's mansion is full of princes, princesses, concubines, and subordinates There are no less than 1,000 people! Either three feet of white silk, or a glass of wine, it is said that the cry of the unjust soul can still be heard near the Xuanwu Gate today~~
Fortunately, Li Er won, if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, what will happen to Li Er and himself as an eighteenth bachelor? Xu Jingzong didn't dare to think about it.
I finally survived that period of heart-pounding, and I inadvertently speculated as if I was involved in a huge dispute again, attacking the palace at night! The blood of Xuanwu Gate has not dried up, Zuo Xiaowei blocked the four gates, Zuo Wuwei entered the city under martial law, Chang'an is about to come in a storm, just like the eve of a heavy rainstorm, the lead clouds are hanging low, and the atmosphere of thunder is general.
Xu Jingzong didn't know what happened, but there were many scholars who went to Bailu Houfu with Cui Jiewen to insult that day, as long as they wanted to check, they could easily find themselves.
handed over the vacation to the country and the province, Xu Jingzong asked the old man to drive the ox cart and take him all over the Chang'an city gate, but Zuo Xiaowei blocked Chang'an, without Li Er's edict, Xu Jingzong had to go back to the house first, and closed the door.
In the front yard of the Hou Mansion, the family will set up several tables and make a stove, Wang Xi made hot tea with his own hands, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's cold, the two of you also come to drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
Ling Xudu smiled, and didn't see how to move, in the stunned eyes of Xu Sidao and others, he shook off the rope that was originally tied to his body, and leaned on the table without any scruples, picked up the teacup and said: "I have long heard that the Yunmeng Immortal Tea made by the Holy Son is hard to find in Chang'an, and the old man is rude!" Do it first!"
In Wang Xi's eyes as an idiot, Ling Xudu drank the hot tea, and he stuck out his tongue and shouted, this is a tease!
"Holy Maiden, please!" Wang Xi poured another cup and said to Xin Yue'e not far away.
Xin Yue'e smiled, got up and walked to sit opposite Wang Xi: "So, thank you Holy Son." ”
After taking the teacup, Wang Xi sniffed the end of his nose in his expectant eyes, and suddenly smiled evilly: "The fragrance of tea is secretive, but it can't hide the smell of sweat medicine, this kind of trick will be used in front of me." ”
"You, you,
Xin Yue'e frowned, and said helplessly: "Uncle Ling, stop playing, don't let the Holy Son underestimate us." ”
Ling Xudu laughed and got up from the ground again and said, "This kind of pickling method has been useless for decades, but I just don't want to waste this kind of immortal drink." ”
Xin Yue'e put away her smile and leaned forward in front of Wang Xi's eyes: "Holy Son, you still have to wait for your father to come honestly, don't make another incident, otherwise, people will not be able to guarantee the safety of your family members~~~"
"Grunt~" Wang Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just a glimpse of the other party's white neck made Wang Xi a little uncontrollable, if there is no woman's body fragrance around Wang Xi's nose, but the delicate face of the fairy in front of him is becoming more and more blurred, Wang Xi's eyelids are struggling to open a little wider, but he shook and fell on the table.
Xin Yue'e chuckled: "I can't do it!" ”
Zhang Shi looked at Qian Dayong in disbelief at the disguised waiter, the Hou Mansion naturally did not have sweat medicine, everything was Qian Dayong's idea, and put the medicine into the tea, but the head of the family had obviously used the antidote beforehand, why not only did he not pour the other party's medicine, but he fell down.
The generals of the Hou Mansion rushed over in shock, Xu Sidao was going to fight hard when he mentioned Changshuo, Xin Yue'e looked at them coldly and said: "The Holy Son just wants to sleep for a while now, if you don't know what to do, when he wakes up and sees your corpse, it will be very heartbreaking to think about it!" ”
Old man Zhang probed his pulse under Wang Xi's neck with his hand, and nodded to Xu Sidao, who put away Changshuo with a solemn face.
