Chapter 44: Assassination

Ziqi has traveled since the era of the technological explosion of the 21st century, and is naturally an atheist. But the brothers Li Shen and Li Xiao said it with noses and eyes, which made people feel creepy.

He sat and watched as Lyle taught a few girls how to read, and in this era of civilization that had just begun writing out of the wilderness, there were less than one in a thousand people who could read. Like Lai'er Shang Qingjun, girls who can read and write are rare.

There were several impulses in the sub-period, wanting to hand over the simplified regular script of the twentieth century to Qingjun and them, but this was just an idea, and he didn't have the courage to do it.

Just making bamboo slips and wolf hairs in advance is enough to be frightened, and letting the wheel of history run too fast may advance Chinese civilization by a thousand years and avoid many disasters and difficulties in future generations.

However, who dares to guarantee that the wheels will not derail if they are too fast, and the sub-period will not dare to take this risk, there must be a gradual process.

Hiding his mind full of literary and historical classics, the laws of physics, and the wonderful pen of flowers and flowers are impenetrable, and the child feels extremely painful.

"Bai Ganzi, what are you looking at me for?" Lai'er asked with a blank look.

Ziqi said enviously: "I think you are doing a good job as a gentleman!" ”

Lai'er pursed her mouth, "You refuse to take me out, if you don't find something to do, you'll suffocate me!" ”

Ziqi was speechless, and quietly returned to the bedroom, where he lay on his back on the bed, looking at the butterflies on the window lattice in a daze. The pattern on the wings blurred into a terrifying grimace. Ziqi was frightened and rubbed his eyes.

It was pitch black and thick with a thick mist. Suddenly, Fei Xian and Yi Shu came to him, and the two of them looked aggrieved and threw themselves into Ziqi's arms with tears in their eyes.

The child was loving and loving, stroking their long silky hair.

"Your Highness misses us sisters?" The two of them raised their heads, still with such beautiful and moving eyes. He felt very congested, as if he was being weighed down by a grinding plate, "We are a couple, why don't you want to?" ”

Yi Shu raised her face for a rare time, no longer like the shy answer before, "Your Highness, Yi Shu and Sister also want Your Highness!" The repression of the full period of the child turned into ten thousand wisps of tenderness, and he lowered his head and kissed their delicate lips.

After lingering for a long time, Fei Xian raised his head, "Your Highness, do you know how much Xian'er and Sister Yishu love you?" ”

Ziqi nodded, full of bitterness, "I know, of course I know!" ”

Tears rolled down Fei Xian's eyes, "But, Your Highness, our sisters are so wronged!" After that, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the knife wound under his neck was also gushing and bleeding, and Yishu's face was pale and covered with blood.

The child was shocked, turned over and sat up, his face and palms were covered with cold sweat.

The moonlight outside the window is like water, shining on the window paper and snow-white. Ziqi wiped his face, tears rained down, and his heart beat suddenly. The mink fur that was covered on his body rolled down the bed at some point, and Shanon was sleeping soundly on the inside of the bed, half of his snow-white arms were naked outside.

Ziqi gently pulled up the quilt and covered him, gritting his teeth fiercely. He didn't even wear the black bronze armor, he felt the Shenque sword and hung it under his ribs, and quietly walked out of the room with flying claws. Tonight, Qi Zhu and Mei Heng slept outside, and he stood on tiptoe and walked lightly through the hall to Lai'er's bedroom.

Quietly lifted the door curtain, and saw that Lai'er was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the little girl didn't even fall the curtain. Ziqi quietly walked to the side of the bed and pushed her, and the little girl's snow-white and delicate arms were thrown outside.

Lyle opened her eyes and was startled, her eyes wide open, and she sat up and opened her mouth to scream. Ziqi hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, "Don't shout, it's me!" ”

Lai'er heard that it was the sub-period, and her face was full of anger, "What are you going to do, do you want to rob me?" ”

Ziqi was so angry that he bit her small ear, "Robbing your head, aren't you complaining that I don't take you out, and now I'll take you to kill!" ”

Lai'er looked surprised, "Okay, who are you going to kill?" "I lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but I only wore a belly pocket on my chest, which was already swollen. Under the short obscene pants, two long legs that are round and white are exposed.

"Don't look at it, look again, I'll gouge out your eyes!" Lyle glared at him fiercely.

Ziqi swallowed his saliva and turned away, and Lai'er squirmed to get dressed. "Bai Ganzi, aren't you a good person, do you like to look at girls' bodies so much?"

Ziqi turned around and pinched Lai'er's slippery face fiercely, "Can you talk about it, you jumped up without clothes, and you have to blame me?" ”

Lai'er knocked out the claws of the sub-period, "Didn't I get carried away in a hurry, you don't look at it, why are you still staring at it with such big eyes?" ”

Ziqi was speechless for a while, "Hurry up, don't be Luo!" Lyle pouted. Sticking the bronze dagger that the child gave her into her belt, "Let's go!" ”

The two of them did not dare to go through the gate for fear of alarming the guards. Turning out of the courtyard wall on the south side, Zi Ji has been practicing light body kung fu and his body is much lighter, although he can't reach Lai'er's skills.

Lai'er raised a smile, "I've made a lot of progress, so I have to keep practicing." Ziqi nodded, took Lai'er's warm little hand, hid in the shadows under the wall, and ran to the southwest of the inner city.

Ziqi stopped under a large courtyard and looked around under the corner of the wall. Lai'er's mouth was on Ziqi's ear, "Bai Ganzi, you and I are honest, who is more beautiful than Xia Nong?" ”

Ziqi patted the hand on her arm, "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want?" ”

Ryle grinned, "Well, you haven't told me who to kill!" ”

Ziqi bit her ear and said: "Avenge Fei Xian and Yi Shu, kill Taizhu, Yu Gong and Private can't stay anymore!" ”

Lai'er nodded vigorously, "I also wanted to kill him, if it wasn't for me and my father to escape quickly, I would be the same as Fei Xian and them!" ”

After that, he took a few steps back and was about to go up the wall, and Ziqi grabbed her, "It's not good here, go to the back!" ”

After saying that, he pulled up Ryle and walked around the backyard. Taizhu Mansion is luxurious enough, bigger than Shouwang Mansion, and it took half a column of incense to run from the front yard to the back garden.

The two of them came to the back corner gate, the courtyard wall of Taizhu Mansion was much higher than that of ordinary mansions, and it was difficult to jump on it after trying it in the sub-period. There are no trees nearby, and there is no place for flying claws. He stabbed Lai'er in the arm, "Lai'er, I can only trouble you to go in and open the corner door first!" ”

Leil pursed her lips, "Are you begging me?" There is no sincerity at all. If you ask me, kiss me. Ziqi glared, "Don't mess around, I kissed you, do you still want to marry?" Lai'er turned her face and looked impatient, "I know, you don't like me, then I'll go back!" ”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Ziqi grabbed her fiercely, hugged her and kissed her fiercely, "Grandma, I beg you!" ”

Lai'er smiled happily, grimaced, and took a few steps to leap up the wall. She crouched down and looked around before jumping lightly into the wall.

Ziqi heard the bolt of the door click and knew that Lyle had opened the door. With a slight push, a crack opened in the two door panels. He gently squeezed through the corner door and closed it with his hand. Lyle pulled him through the bushes and ran forward forty or fifty meters to avoid the back of the rockery, which was already frozen. The two of them looked around in the moonlight.

The Zhangshen Terrace in the center of the back garden is actually brightly lit, and there are still servants coming in and out.

The two glanced at each other, and they all bowed down and dived behind the Zhangshen platform. Slowly clinging to the wall, he leaned low under the lighted window, and there was a lot of laughter and noise inside.

Ziqi looked around, the moonlight was blocked by the house, and it was dark under the window, which was a good place to hide. He slowly stood up, licked the wet window paper with the tip of his tongue, gently poked a hole with his fingertips, peeked in with one eye, and it was the eldest prince Wei Ziqi who was facing the window.

Taizhu sat across from him, and on one side sat Bigan, and on the other side was Mei Bo.

Mei Bo's name is Mei Jin, and Mei's surname is the same as the royal family. The ancestor is the sixth generation of Yin Shang's ancestor Tai Geng, and Tai Geng's name is Zi Bian. After Zi Bian's death, Zi Gao ascended the throne and was known as Xiao Jia in history.

Zigao named his eldest brother as an earl, and gave Mei Boguo as a fief (now Bo County, Anhui Province), with the fief as the clan, and was originally called Mei Bo, Mei Bo is the collective name of the hereditary people of the Mei Jin line, and it is an official title not a name (for easy distinction, it is called Mei Bojin in the book).

Zi was afraid that the light and window shadow would be discovered by the guards of Taizhu Mansion, so he hurriedly hid under the window and listened to the conversation in the house.

Weizi Qi spoke first, "Lord Taizhu, two uncles: Qi has also entered the palace in recent days, but my father is much more cold to me. Now, the child has mastered the Praetorian Guard Camp and the Imperial Guard Camp, which is really not good for me. We can't wait any longer, for if my father becomes great, the throne will be lost to me. ”

Bigan took it and said: "Mei Bo and I also went to the palace to ask the king, but the king was hesitant to make a decision about the crown prince, and we couldn't help it!" ”

Mei Bojin coughed lightly and said: "Since ancient times, the young and the old have been orderly, and it is natural for Ziqi to inherit the unification. Brother Wang prefers Zishou, but he is too confused. ”

Wei Ziqi felt even more melancholy when he heard it, "I regret that I shouldn't use the plan of Lord Taizhu, I thought that the child would be grateful to me." Who knew that the sub-period was very cunning, on the surface he was submissive, but he was very hard in his heart.

When the martial arts competition in front of the palace, everyone saw that he was extremely vicious and didn't talk about any affection. I sent a servant to Haocheng Houfu yesterday to find Mei Heng, but that little slut avoided it! I took two beautiful maids for nothing, and I panicked when I thought about it! ”

Taizhu listened to Wei Ziqi's complaints, with a disdainful face, he really looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, his personality was cowardly, indecisive, and he always suffered from gains and losses, how could he look like a generation of emperors?

But Taizhu chose him, and he really had no choice. Only such a person can sit on the throne and develop the power of the clergy.

Taizhu sighed and said, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. It's not at the end of the day. The day after tomorrow is the night of the fifteenth full moon, Lord Taibu and I went to the prayer platform to worship the moon god and divinate the crown prince, and ask the will of heaven! If there is a moon god to protect the prince, the old man will enter the palace to meet the king, and His Royal Highness is the true son of heaven, and no one can overcome the throne without His Highness. At that time, who will be able to oppose His Highness? ”

Ziqi couldn't help but panic when he heard this, in the Yin Shang era, from the king to the people, how many people were not superstitious about ghosts and gods? All have the splendor of the clergy, and can even influence the conduct of royal power.

Fei Xian and Yi Shu are bloody examples, nominally divination, but in fact, they want to use the name of the gods to blackmail Emperor Yi Liwei Ziqi to become the crown prince.

In this way, I am afraid that the overall situation is doomed, and no one can subvert it.

Ziqi was flustered for a while, and he didn't have the heart to listen anymore. I hope that when they are gone, they will be able to stop their tricks of disturbing the royal court.

The night wind blew, and Layle couldn't help but shiver. Leaned on Ziqi, Ziqi reached out and hugged her in his arms, and the two of them clinged to each other to keep warm. Lai'er suddenly poked the child period and pointed to the back of the rockery.

Ziqi's eyes widened, only to see a person hiding behind the rockery, looking around and looking, the cat's waist ran to the window where the two were hiding. The man held a dagger in his hand and a burden tied around his waist.

The visitor ran to the window and was startled when he saw the child. Ziqi jumped up suddenly, covered the mouth and nose of the visitor with one hand, and the person who came was just about to struggle, but Ziqi held it down, stuck it to his ear and said, "Mr. Fei Zhong, I am Ziji!" ”

The person was stunned, and Ziqi hurriedly dragged him to the rockery, and Lai'er followed. Ziqi let go of his hand, "Mr. Fei Zhong, why are you here?" ”

Fei Zhong froze, "I'll kill Taizhu to avenge Fei Xian!" You're here to ...... too."

Ziqi suddenly realized, nodded and asked, "You also did the two bloody cases in the outer city, right?" ”

Fei Zhong's eyes flashed, "Yes, I did it, I want them to pay for it with blood!" In order to confuse people's eyes and ears, I cleaned the wealth of the two families, and I did not leave a penny, but distributed it to the poor people outside the city. ”

Zi Qi felt a feeling in his heart, this Fei Zhong really wanted to revenge, Chonghou Hu who held the military power in his hands dared to assassinate him, not to mention the two little executioners? I should have thought of him a long time ago.

"You went to Xian'er's grave last night?" Zi looked forward to Fei Zhong's cold face.

Fei Zhong nodded, "I'll go see my little sister and tell her that I won't stay until he sees the sun the next day!" ”

The child had an epiphany in his heart, it turns out that you are a ghost!

"I'm afraid it's hard to do it tonight, there are too many people in the house, and we've been waiting for more than half an hour!" He said to Fei Zhong.

Fei Zhong snorted, "It doesn't matter, not today, and tomorrow, I will kill this old dog sooner or later." But today is not in vain, I killed his little daughter and threw it into the well, and let him taste the pain of losing his daughter. When I came, I wondered why the back door was open, and it turned out that you had done it. Your Highness, thank you for Fei Xian! ”

Fei Zhong said it lightly, and Ziqi was dumbfounded. It seems that hatred is enough to make people crazy, and Taizhu only has one son and one daughter. The youngest daughter is nine years old, and she is loved by a woman like a pearl in her palm, but she didn't expect Fei Zhong to kill her.

Ziqi complained in a low voice: "Mr. Fei Zhong, you have missed a big matter. If you startle the snake, they will know in a moment, and it will be difficult for us to succeed again. ”

Fei Zhong gritted his teeth, "I can't care so much, I just want that kid Wuhai is not easy to deal with, so I'll save it until the end." Since I can't kill Taizhu now, His Royal Highness will help me make Wuhai first, and then come back and kill the old dog! ”

Ziqi nodded, "Okay, do you know Wuhai's residence?" ”

Fei Zhong nodded and said, "I've already figured it out, you come with me!" ”

Ziqi pulled Lai'er to follow Fei Zhong, bypassing the rockery and walking out of the woods. Twist and turn around an frozen pond to a palatial mansion.

Fei Zhong pointed inside, "This is it!" ”

Ziqi looked at the two house slaves who were leaning on the doorpost and snoozing, and gestured to Lyelle. Lai'er understood, and saw that Ziqi and Fei Zhong had hidden their figures, and they were also hidden behind the tree.

She picked up a stone from the ground and struck it at the two house slaves. The two house slaves immediately woke up and looked at each other, "Who?" The two drew their short knives and walked towards Lyelle.

Ziqi walked around behind them, put his hands together, pinched the back of their necks, and slammed their heads hard, so that the two house slaves fainted without humming and fell to the ground.

Fei Zhong came over and pulled the two of them into the dark, and at this time, the moon hid in the clouds, and the north wind blew more and more fiercely, raising snow particles.

Seeing that Lai'er and Fei Zhong had already hidden, Zi Ji gently pushed open the door and flashed into the hall, the lights in the room were not extinguished, and there was a deep snoring sound in the east room. Zi Qi slowly pulled out the Shenque, lifted the door curtain, and under the dim light, the bed curtain did not fall.

Wu Hai was sleeping, and Zi Qi rushed to the bed with an arrow step, and reached out to hold Wu Hai's mouth and nose. Wu Hai immediately woke up, one injured arm hung limply on the bed, raised his other hand and grabbed Ziji, and the covered mouth whined: "Who are you?" What to do? ”

Ziqi put the Shenque sword against his neck, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't waste your strength, I tell you, your father and son have done all the bad things, and I will ask for your life for Lai'er!" Before the words fell, his right hand poked down hard, piercing Wu Hai's neck early, and the downtown racer never had a chance to crisscross the streets.

Ziqi pulled out the Shenque Sword, ran out of the room with a low body, and waved his hand to Fei Zhong and Lai'er, and the three of them immediately hid under several thick plane trees.

Fei Zhong lowered his voice, "Solved?" ”

Ziqi leaned into his ear, "It's dead, let's go, go find that bastard Wu Zhu!" ”

Lai'er pointed to the Shojin Platform in the snow, and the two of them were about to run over. Fei Zhong got carried away for a while, accidentally tripped over the clay pot in front of the eaves, rolled down the stone steps to the bottom, and smashed it with a bang.

In the dead of night, the sound immediately alarmed the house slaves in the nursing home, "Who?" There are thieves! ”

There was a louder bang, and many houses were lit up.

Ziqi hurriedly turned around and pulled up Fei Zhong, shouted Lai'er in a low voice, and retreated to the back corner door. As soon as the three of them came out of the corner gate, many people had already rushed out of the yard, and there was a mess!

[Tsing Yi says in this chapter]

(1) The fiefdom of Meibo, which is disputed in history, is said to be located in the ancient Meibo country in the area of Boxian County (now Bozhou City) in Anhui Province; One is said to be in Runan, and its scope is equivalent to the south-central part of present-day Henan Province, that is, in Runan County. Tsing Yi personally thinks that the former is more reasonable, so he accepts it.

(2) The famous historian Qian Zongfan and others pointed out that there were 31 kings in the 17th Shang Dynasty, of which 13 kings were brothers. Tang reigned for 12 years, and Taiding did not succeed to the throne before Tang died (the "Historical Records" is incorrect). In the same way, Mei's ancestor Mei Bo (the first generation of Mei Bo) and Xiao Jia, Yong Ji, Tai Wu are four brothers, because Xiao Jia reigned for a long time (more than 100 years longer), the eldest brother Mei Bo (91 years old) failed to succeed to the throne, and Sima Gong also mistakenly did not remember Mei Bo.

In addition, according to modern dating technology, the reliability of C14 to determine the presumption that Maeber was born in 1599 B.C. in the "Xianzu Maber Chronology Examination (1)" can also be said to be the best archaeological historical verification.

(3) Regarding Mei Bojin's death, Tsing Yi believes that the account of the "Historical Records" exists objectively, but for such a major crime, why did Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa release the crusade against the text "Tai Oath" in Mengjin, why did he not mention anything about this matter? Tsing Yi thinks that there is only one reason, that is, Ji Fa thinks that it is not wrong for Shang Wang Zhen (Yinhai) to kill Mei Bo, if it is really as described in "Fengshen List", King Su is indiscriminately killing innocents, how can Ji Fa let go of this code? Everyone knows that the writings of the past dynasties are afraid of the enemy's sins and write less.

can make the king chop his clan uncle into dumpling filling, which shows how much hatred he has. The king didn't care about the traitors, so why did he hate Maebo to the core? There is only one possibility, and that is that he once endangered the royal power of the Emperor.

Based on the above reasoning, Tsing Yi created chapters 44-48 of this book.

(4) We should also thank the genealogy of the Mei family, which also provided an important basis for Tsing Yi to write a book, and genealogy and local history are indispensable evidence for our study of history. This ancient family has produced many celebrities and is the pride of the Chinese nation, and Tsing Yi is here to thank you solemnly! I don't know if there are Mei's descendants who read Tsing Yi's book, and the book review area will return one.

The Tsing Yi family also had a family tree, but unfortunately it was hidden in the chicken coop during the Cultural Revolution and was searched out by the Red Guards and burned down. Now I only know from the old people that my ancestral home is Shandong, and I moved to the northeast in the early Qing Dynasty. Any social upheaval is a looting of history and culture.

This paragraph of "Tsing Yi Chapter Said" is a little longer, but it does not affect the number of words in the main article, thank you!
