Chapter 45: King Jing
Looking at the back of Lian Ruohan and Tingna going downstairs, Zhang Hou's face was slightly blue, and he was a little embarrassed. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "No matter how strange a woman is, she is just a businessman, but she still plays tricks and thinks she has the wisdom to know people, which is really a joke!" ”
"Why do you say that even the little lady's words are a joke?" Shi'er looked Zhang Hou up and down a few times, and didn't know the same, "I also think that even the little lady's words do make some sense, and the second brother is indeed inferior to Xia Langjun." ”
"Where's the difference?" Zhang Hou's face turned even bluer, and he was almost about to have a seizure.
"Just because you are about to have a seizure as soon as you hear that you are not as good as others, you are not as good as Xia Langjun." Shi Er grinned and stuck out his tongue, "If the second brother is more ambitious in the future, no one will be able to reach him." ”
"I've got a lot on my mind." Zhang Hou brushed his sleeves away, walking as fast as flying, as if staying for a moment longer would humiliate his identity, "It's you, one who tries his best to flatter even the little lady, the other who is light and even the little lady, and even the little lady is frivolous, and is despised by Xia Langjun, not ashamed but proud, such an act, I disdain to be with you!" ”
Shen Bao glanced at Xia Xiang in amazement: "How could a good party end like this?" ”
Xia Xiang smiled helplessly: "You ask me, who will I ask." Although Brother Zhang is angry, he is not bad, and when he returns to the inn and has a few more drinks with him, he will get back together. ”
"Let Xia Langjun and Shen Langjun laugh, I will make amends to the two of you on behalf of the second brother." Shi Er saluted Xia Xiang and Shen Baofu like a little adult, shook his head worriedly and sighed, "I don't blame him, he has been competitive since he was a child, and he can't tolerate others being half a point better than him, I am all based on his temperament, I didn't control it, blame me, I was spoiled by me." ”
Xia Xiang and Shen Bao glanced at each other, both amused by Shi Er's pretended deep words, and the two laughed together.
But he said that Manta jumped out of the window, and blended into the crowd, and followed closely behind the man on horse. Although the man on the horse tried his best to drive the horse, after all, in the middle of the city, he could not gallop, and he followed closely with Manta, and did not lose it.
Shangjing was well secured, and the horse's move of riding horses in the downtown area soon alarmed Shangjing Mansion Yin. After following two streets, the person on the horse was stopped by the official messenger of Shangjing Mansion Yin. In the face of four or five menacing officials, the man on the horse neither panicked nor dismounted, and threw a waist card casually. Under the inspection of the official messenger, he let it aside without saying a word, and let him go immediately.
If it weren't for the fact that there were pedestrians all around, and there were officials, the flying knife in Mantuo's hand would have already taken the life of the person immediately. She turned around, followed the man on the horse for half an hour, and finally came to a tall mansion.
The mansion is majestic and magnificent, a white marble lion in front of the door, there are several rows of horse-tied pillars, and there is a stone tablet more than one person high at the door, there are words on the tablet: the civil official of the edict falls off the sedan chair and the military attache dismounts.
The man on the horse rolled and dismounted, stumbling, and was obviously exhausted. He threw the reins over the steward, who had come to greet him, and, with the butler's support, entered the side door next to the gate.
There is a plaque with black characters on a red background above the gate, and three big characters are written on the plaque: Jingwangfu.
Mantuo was stunned for a moment, how could Xie Jianhua enter King Jing's mansion, isn't he the most trusted killer of the third prince? Could it be that he betrayed the third prince? But no matter who he is, the revenge of killing her father is not shared, she must turn into a sword to avenge the unjust death of her father!
Although Daddy was not killed by Xie Jianhua himself, but Daddy's death was caused by Xie Jianhua, if it wasn't for Xie Jianhua's persecution, Daddy would not have died in Hainan.
Back then, my father was demoted out of Beijing, and soon after arriving in Hainan, he met Xie Jianhua. At that time, Xie Jianhua was living on the streets, looking like a beggar, and his father took him in pity and let him be an errand in the house.
Xie Jianhua stayed by his father's side for half a year, and for half a year, he was quiet, serious and low-key, making it difficult for people to detect his existence. Daddy later forgot about Xie Jianhua, until one day when he returned home, he suddenly felt unwell, and invited a doctor for treatment, and the doctor said that the heat in Hainan was too heavy, and Daddy's physical strength was intolerant of heat stroke. I was prescribed a prescription, but after taking it, it did not improve, but the condition worsened day by day.
Seeing that the doctor was helpless, when his father was getting seriously ill, Mantuo discovered the problem - it turned out that Xie Jianhua secretly put something in his father's medicine while he was unprepared. She caught Xie Jianhua with her own hands when Xie Jianhua poisoned again, Xie Jianhua did not hide it, and generously admitted that her father's illness was also caused by the chronic poison he ordered, and now the medicinal properties have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and if you want to be completely cured, you must use the three treasures of the South China Sea to be effective.
The three treasures of the South China Sea are tortoiseshell, huanghuali and South Sea pearl. Using huanghuali as a pestle and medicinal apparatus, the tortoiseshell and pearls are crushed into a very fine powder, and then mixed into the potion to take it, which may have the effect of reviving the dead.
Mantuo was sick and rushed to the doctor, and acted according to Xie Jianhua's words, and sure enough, his father's condition was getting better day by day. She was overjoyed, and asked Xie Jianhua again why he secretly poisoned his father, Xie Jianhua claimed that he was ordered by the third prince, and followed his father all the way from the time he left Beijing to go south, ready to wait for the opportunity to take his father's life. But he couldn't bear to start a few times, because his father was kind, loved the people like a son, and along the way, saved the dead and the wounded, sympathized with the orphans and widows, helped the poor and the poor, and never spared money and manpower when encountering emergencies and hardships, he was never stingy with money and manpower, which made him quite moved.
It's just that after arriving in Hainan, the third prince repeatedly urged him to take his father's life. Although Xie Jianhua had great respect for his father, he could not disobey the king's order, and in desperation, he secretly took chronic poison to let his father die without pain in his sleep. The third prince wanted his father's head, but Xie Jianhua couldn't do it, so poisoning his father was not only good for the third prince, but also for leaving a whole corpse for his father.
It's just that after his father became seriously ill, Xie Jianhua regretted what he had done, because after Mantuo took him down, he didn't hide the truth and tell all the facts.
Mantuo did not doubt that he had him, believed it to be true, and hated the three princes to the core. Daddy is just above the court to oppose the changes implemented by the three princes and Hou Pingpan, political discord is a common thing in the court, and being degraded is nothing, and when it is reactivated, it is too much to deceive people if they have to put people to death.
Although Xie Jianhua had the intention of repenting and saving his father halfway, Mantuo still couldn't forgive him and ordered him to commit suicide. Xie Jianhua suddenly attacked, and he killed Mantuo. Fortunately, Mantuo reacted in time and dodged Xie Jianhua's fatal blow, and was about to fight back and kill Xie Jianhua on the spot, Xie Jianhua quickly fled in a few leaps.
Mantuo knew that Xie Jianhua was not only a master of poisoning, but also a master of martial arts. Although she is also puzzled, with Xie Jianhua's skills, she secretly took her father's life, why did she lurk by her father's side for so long? But she still didn't think deeply about how true Xie Jianhua's words were, she wholeheartedly believed that Xie Jianhua was the killer sent by the third prince, and remembered all the hatred on the third prince.
Daddy's condition had already improved, but after hearing about Xie Jianhua's incident, he was inexplicably sad and indignant, shouting three times "Three Princes" vomiting blood three times, and his condition worsened again, and then triggered the residual poison in his body, and he died of illness not long after.
After Hainan said goodbye, Mantuo never saw Xie Jianhua again. This time she came to Beijing, on the one hand, she wanted to secretly investigate the evidence that the third prince disturbed the court and controlled the government, and on the other hand, she also wanted to take revenge on her father. When she saw Xie Jianhua appear in Taipingju in good times, she suddenly became angry and bloody, and chased after her directly.
But he never thought that Xie Jian was incarnated as a heavy responsibility, and he actually went to King Jing's Mansion, and looked at the towering gate of King Jing's Mansion and the guards at the door, and did not act rashly.
After thinking about it, Mantuo asked for a pot of tea at a tea shop near the palace, and she could see the entrance of the palace clearly at the window position, so she drank tea with peace of mind and decided to wait for the rabbit.
However, it was said that Xie Jianhua was helped into the palace of King Jing, passed through the front yard of the rockery and flowing water, turned from the corner gate, and entered the backyard full of flowers. The nine-song corridor, the green trees are like a forest, the fragrance of flowers is bursting, the sound of birdsong, the palace occupies a large area, far more than the Cao Mansion can be compared. Xie Jianhua's face was as white as paper, his steps were vague, and black blood was already flowing from the arrow behind him, and it was obvious that it was a poisonous arrow.
"Quick, quick, I want to see Mr. Li." Xie Jian was like a gossamer, and he tried his best to support it, "I have something to say to him, Mr. Li is in the house?" ”
The person who supported Xie Jianhua was Liu Sanjin, the housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion, Liu Sanjin was about forty years old, skinny as wood, as if a gust of wind could blow him away like a kite. But don't look at his appearance, he is in the palace, he is quite trusted by King Jing and King Jian, and he is the most favored one among the many housekeepers in the palace.
King Jing's Mansion is the largest of many palaces, with more than 1,000 people up and down, not including the prince's own soldiers. There is not only one housekeeper in the palace of King Yijing, there are more than a dozen housekeepers of all sizes, Liu Sanjin is among the many housekeepers, the ranking is neither high, nor does it show the mountains and waters, but everyone in the palace knows that Liu Sanjin is the prince's henchman.
The prince mentioned by King Jing's mansion is naturally King Jing. Although Xia Cunxian has been named the king of the palace and is opening the mansion, he has not yet completed the palace, and Xia Cunxian has not yet started a family, even if he sees that after the palace is completed, no one will say anything about him if he lives in the palace of King Jing. Although it is not in accordance with the etiquette system, unless the emperor speaks, no one dares to say that Xia Cunxian is not.
King Jing's mansion still calls Xia Cunxian the little prince to distinguish King Jing.
Liu Sanjin knew the weight of Xie Jianhua in King Jing's mind, and helped Xie Jianhua to go straight to the most secret room in the backyard of the palace. There are several secret places in the palace, there are secret rooms for recuperation, secret rooms for healing, and secret rooms for special discussions. No matter what kind of secret room it is, it is not accessible to ordinary people.
Xie Jianhua was one of the few leaders of King Jing's Mansion who could directly meet King Jing or the Golden Armor Battalion. The elite army of the Three Princes of the Star King is the Xuanjia Battalion, the elite army of the King Jing is the Jinjia Battalion, and Xie Jianhua is one of the three leaders of the Jinjia Battalion, responsible for the assassination training of the Jinjia Battalion.
Although Liu Sanjin was calm on the surface, he was shocked in his heart, Xie Jianhua's martial arts were so high that he had only seen it in his life, in his opinion, looking at the entire Great Xia, there were very few masters who could compete with Xie Jianhua, as far as he knew, only Yan Hao could be compared with Xie Jianhua in Shangjing City, and today Xie Jianhua was so seriously injured, who did it?
Although he was shocked and full of doubts in his heart, Liu Sanjin still maintained his due demeanor, and never asked more questions that should not be asked. It is also his prudence and caution that have made him not only deeply trusted by King Jing, but also accompanied King Jing for more than ten years. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, why not accompany the prince? The princes of this dynasty are very different from the previous dynasty, most of the princes of the previous dynasty are in name only, either the fief is in the field, and people cannot stay in the capital, or they are in the capital, only the name of the prince is noble, and there is no official position and strength.
The prince of Great Xia, because Taizu was located in Taizong's brother-in-law, there were many discussions in the court, and Taizong made a rule to treat the descendants of Taizu's branch well. During the time of Taizong, Taizong once named the two princes of Taizu as nine thousand years old and the eight sage kings. Nine thousand years old and the eight sages can hold the golden sword of the monk Fang given by Taizong to the temple, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition for a while, and even the prime minister is looking at the wind and worshipping, and it is really one person under ten thousand people.
Fortunately, although the nine thousand years old and the Eight Sages were in power for a while, the two were cautious and did not do whatever they wanted because of the power, on the contrary, they also upheld justice, suppressed the traitorous ministers and ministers, and won a lot of fame. However, Rao is like this, and there are also ministers who have a lot of criticism of the prince's important position and interference in the affairs of the court, and have written several times to ask the prince to only be rich and noble. Not only did Taizong not mention this matter, but after Emperor Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, he also ignored all the discussions that the prince should not be involved in politics.
After the current emperor ascends the throne, it is rare to mention the abolition of the power of the princes, and after three dynasties and two generations, it has become a practice for the princes to take power.
Liu Sanjin was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the three princes were now powerful and powerful. Fortunately, the emperor is wise, and he named the little prince as the king, which can be regarded as the suppression of the power of the three princes. The emperor has no children under his knees, and Liu Sanjin believes that King Jian is the best candidate to inherit the throne. If the king becomes the emperor, King Jing will be crowned the emperor, and everyone in the palace will also ascend to heaven because of this.
It's just that the current situation is not very clear, King Jing did not obviously show his desire to fight for the throne, seeing that the king is still young and playful by nature, he doesn't seem to care much about the throne, and even a few days ago he went to arrest Yang Yan with Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao in the Three Princes' Mansion, which is really worrying. Seeing why the king didn't use his brain to think about it, the third prince is now the strongest opponent to compete with him for the throne, and he also helped the third prince to win Yang Di, not only helping the third prince, but also making enemies for himself, how unwise it is.
What made Liu Sanjin even more puzzled was that King Jing knew that Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao came to the mansion to invite the little prince to arrest Yang Yan together, but he did not stop the little prince, and directly let him go, what did the prince want?
I don't understand it, Liu Sanjin doesn't dare and won't ask more, he believes that the prince has his own long-term plan, and he will not let the third prince grow up step by step, let alone let the third prince use the little prince.
Xie Jianhua has been busy outside recently, and Liu Sanjin doesn't know what he's doing. But I can probably guess one or two, as one of the prince's most trusted subordinates, what Xie Jianhua did must be a big thing that the prince is planning. But...... Xie Jianhua was so seriously injured, didn't it mean that what the prince was planning was seriously hindered?
Liu Sanjin thought too much for a while, and his heart was up and down, just when his subordinate Sun Xi dared to come to him, he immediately ordered: "Sun Xi daring, please invite Mr. Li to come to the secret room." ”
Sun Xi dared to follow Liu Sanjin for many years, knowing Liu Sanjin's unhurried character, seeing Liu Sanjin's panicked expression, his voice trembled a little, knowing that the stakes were high, he hurriedly bent down to receive the order: "Yes, Steward Liu." Where is Mr. Lee? ”
"The prince's study." Liu Sanjin only hurriedly confessed, and continued to support Xie Jianhua to move forward, "Hurry up and ask Dr. Jin to come to the secret room." ”
"Yes!" Sun Xi didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and immediately went in the direction of the prince's study, first passing through a small courtyard, and then passing by a pond, there was a wooden house by the pond, he pushed the door in, and came out after a while, Dr. Jin hurriedly carried the medicine box and ran quickly in the direction of the secret room.
Sun Xi dared to continue walking, and crossed a moon gate, which was a more delicate and elegant courtyard. The small courtyard is not big, just like the Jiangnan courtyard is graceful and small, three steps, one courtyard, five steps and one scene, plus there are more than a dozen towering trees up to more than ten zhang, the small courtyard is not only shaded by green trees, cool breeze, but also extremely quiet, as if isolated from the world.
There is only one house facing north and south in the small courtyard, which is King Jing's meditation room and study. King Jing believes in Buddhism, and when he has nothing to do, he will come to the meditation room to meditate and chant Buddha. If there are important guests, they will also come here to chat.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang."
Sun Xi dared to stand under the steps, did not dare to go up the steps for half a step, the voice was not loud or small, enough for the prince to hear inside, and he would not make noise to the people inside to speak.
"What's the matter?" The prince's majestic and indifferent voice responded, "Didn't you tell you not to bother the king if you were fine?" ”
"Back to the prince, Xie Jian was seriously injured and was sent to the secret room by Steward Liu. Xie Jianhua insisted on seeing Mr. Li. Sun Xi dared to be cautious, but also concise, not verbose, let alone let the prince fail to realize the importance of the matter.
"......" There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the prince's faint voice came, "Got it." ”
Sun Xi dared to speak, how the prince arranged it was the prince's business, he didn't ask any more, took a few steps back, and stood at the door of the moon. There is a shade tree at the door, and there is a wind blowing through the hall, which is very refreshing. The most important thing is that standing at the Moon Gate, if it is not deliberate, he can't hear the words of the prince and the guests in the study, and he can ensure that when the prince has something to order, he can hear the king's call and respond as soon as possible.
In the study, King Jing was sitting opposite one person and playing chess.
The chessboard is made of fine golden silk wood, and the chess pieces are made of jade. The sunspot is carved from black jade, which is firm and warm, pure black as ink, and the whole body is pitch black, and there is no variegation. Baizi is an ordinary Hetian white jade, which is also warm and moist in color, pure white and flawless.
"Xie Jianhua has an accident, I want to see you." King Jing is about fifty years old, his face is like a crown of jade, rich and serene, his eyes are hidden but not exposed, he hides his edge, his eyebrows are lowered, he has a kind appearance, his ears are big and wheeled, his mouth is big and his lips are big, his chin is bearded, his beard is gray, he is wearing a rich silk gown, his feet are pedaling cloth boots, and his legs are sitting cross-legged on the futon.
"I'd rather give up one son, and I can't lose the overall situation." Mr. Li, who was sitting opposite King Jing, was covered by King Jing's wide body, and he lowered his head to play chess, making people unable to see his appearance, he was about forty years old, dressed as a scholar, holding a white child, and left a son, "Lord Wang, the corner is lost." ”
