Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Spirit Hall (I)
The nightlife in the Spring and Autumn period was far less abundant than in modern society, and after the death of Qin Mourning Gong, the entire Yongdu (pointed out by the Canglang Cat is hereby corrected) was even more lonely, except for the soldiers patrolling back and forth, the city was almost empty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Nuo and I came to the end of Tian'an Street, but found that there was an old man set up a stall there next to this small mound, and the old man dared to come out to do business as soon as Qin Miangong died, not to mention that he actually got a small stove to cook there, and he was a little bolder.
I looked around, but I saw two girls in black cloaks walking slowly towards this side in the distance, one of the girls took off the black cloak, it was the ninth princess to win mercy, Yiren looked extremely haggard under the blow of losing her father. His eyes fell on me, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Li Nuo and Fu Ling walked to the side with interest.
I came to Ying Lian's side, and said softly: "Jie Mourning Becomes ......" Ying Lian nodded, but could no longer suppress the sourness in his heart, leaned on my shoulder, clenched his pink fist and pounded it my shoulder, I gently patted her slender waist to express comfort, and finally Ying Lian controlled his inner feelings, took my hand and sat down at the low table.
Without saying a word, the old man served four plates of side dishes and put a pot of wine there. It seems that he is extremely familiar with Ying Lian, and it should not be the first time that Ying Lian has visited here.
Ying Lian said: "If there is anything, you can say it!" ”
I looked at the old man with some scruples, and said with pity: "My eldest uncle is deaf and dumb and can't hear!" ”
I was stunned in my heart, I never thought that this bad old man who set up a stall to sell wine at night turned out to be the eldest uncle who won mercy, the elder brother of Qin Mourning Gong.
Ying Lian sighed and said: "Back then, my eldest uncle did something that he shouldn't have done because he fought for the throne with my father, and killed many relatives, but after my father ascended the throne, he didn't kill him, demoted him to a commoner, cut off his tongue, pierced his ears, and let him leave the Qin State forever." ”
"It wasn't until three years ago that my father found out that he had returned to Yongdu to worship his ancestors, and my father remembered the feelings between his brothers, so he asked his uncle to live in Yongdu City, and gave him the mansion and land slaves and maids he didn't want, so he asked for this place, and set up a stall here every night when night fell, and when my father was reincarnated, he often brought me here late at night, and the brothers would occasionally sit on the side and drink two cups. But...... But there's no chance again......" Ying Lian said the sad place, sobbing again.
I turned to look at the old man, but I saw him sitting down on the mound beside him, with two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the side, pouring a glass of wine, as if there were brothers sitting opposite, smiling slightly, picking up the wine glass and spilling it on the ground, and then picking up the wine glass and drinking it all.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart, perhaps only after experiencing blood and cruelty can these royal families understand the value of brotherly affection.
Ying Lian said in a trembling voice: "Since my father passed away, Uncle will set up a stall here at midnight every night, he does not believe that my father will die, he will drink here silently every night until dawn......
My eyes are moist, I wonder how the two brothers Ying Fei and Ying Li will feel when they see this situation? I looked around and whispered, "Yingli has also come to Yongdu!" ”
Ying Lian didn't feel any surprise, she nodded lightly and said: "From the moment you appeared, I have already guessed that when Xin Bohou deceived the third brother to go to Huo Kingdom, we didn't know at that time, until my father died of a sudden illness, we didn't know that the third brother was not in the country. Then came the news that Yan Guo wanted to send troops, and during these days, I was always worried about the third brother and the ...... You ......" her voice fell.
My heart warmed, and I quietly reached out to hold her soft twing: "I'm thinking about you too!"
We looked at each other, and after a brief exchange of affection, we quickly returned to the grim reality. Ying Lian said: "My eldest brother has won the full support of Sima Wang Sun Xi, and several ministers who have different opinions have all been controlled by them. ”
I whispered, "According to Yingli, your father originally intended him to inherit the throne?" ”
Ying Lian nodded and said: "It is a well-known fact in the court that my father wants the third brother to inherit the throne, but unfortunately he left too suddenly, and he did not have time to specify this matter. ”
I said calmly: "So according to the rules of the order of the eldest and youngest, your eldest brother has naturally become a good candidate to inherit the throne?" ”
Ying Lian said: "They planned carefully this time and moved quickly, it seems that maybe my father had made detailed plans before the accident, so they were able to control the situation so smoothly." ”
"Do we have a chance to turn things around?"
"Yes, but it all depends on the queen mother's meaning......"
"The Queen Mother?"
Ying Lian nodded and said: "That is, my grandmother, if she is willing to come forward to support the third brother, this matter will definitely be solved, but my eldest brother has been raised by her since he was a child, and in her heart, she likes the eldest brother more." ”
"Since she likes to win, how can she support Winpower?"
Ying Lian sighed quietly and said: "This matter is not easy to do, as a daughter, I can't interfere too much in this matter." ”
"Who else in the court supports Winry?"
"There are a lot of people here, but you have also seen the current situation, even Taifu Baili has been imprisoned, who dare to talk more among the other courtiers? However, ......" Ying Lian paused and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know about the series of things that the eldest brother and Sima Wang Sun Xi have done, if she knows that they are planning to persecute the third brother, she will definitely not agree." ”
I whispered: "The most important thing now is to let the Queen Mother know the truth!" ”
Ying Lian shook her head gloomily and said, "My grandmother is now immersed in grief because of the death of her father, where can she take care of other things. ”
"As your third brother, the son of Duke Qin Mourning, Ying Li should be eligible to attend his father's funeral, you think of a way to let him attend the funeral, as long as he can appear on the spot, he will naturally have the opportunity to explain this matter to the Queen Mother and the ministers."
Ying Lian frowned slightly: "Sima and eldest brother will definitely lay down a lot of defense on the day, and if they want to enter it, they are afraid that it will be difficult." Her gaze suddenly fell on her eldest uncle, and she whispered, "Unless...... Uncle is willing to help us! ”
On the day of Qin Mourning's funeral, his deaf and dumb eldest brother Ying Ziqu drove an ox cart, and there were two horses tied with black silk in the ox cart, and Ying Li and I hid in the silk horses, Ying Li was very brave, and after Ying Ziqu promised to help us, he came up with this bold plan, he wanted to enter the mourning hall before Qin Mourning Gong's funeral, and expose the conspiracy of Ying Fei and Sima Wang Sun Xi in person. I thought about it again and again, but I decided to personally accompany him on the adventure, if Ying Li is really the future Qin Li Gonggong, my experience of accompanying him to life and death today is undoubtedly a great achievement, not to mention that even if my identity is exposed, after all, I am still the owner of Huo Guoquanyin, the godson of Zhou Tianzi Ji Kuo, these people may give me some face.
The ox cart slowly stopped, Ying Ziqu's special identity really played a considerable role, no one stopped him, the ox cart swaggered into the Qin Palace, the mourning hall was located in the Yang Palace, which was also the place where the Qin State Liegong placed the spiritual seat.
Although I was bold, I couldn't help but feel uneasy when I came to this heavily guarded Qin Palace.
Ying Ziqu sat quietly on the ox cart, without any indication, several guards came over and said loudly: "Go and move the sacrifices down!" ”
A pleasant voice said: "Who dares to move my uncle's sacrifice!" But Ying Pian, who had been waiting there for a long time, arrived, and she ordered: "Fu Ling, move the sacrifice that the uncle gave to my father into the mourning hall!" ”
"Yes!"
A cold voice came from behind: "Wait! Whoever enters the palace must be examined. ”
Ying Lian said coldly: "Sixth brother, you can see clearly, this is an uncle!" ”
"What about uncle, no one can break the rules! Come on, search for me! ”
My heart was pounding, if they came to search at this time, I and Yingli who were hiding in the belly of the horse would definitely be discovered by them.
Suddenly there was a roar outside, followed by a thud, and someone slammed into the ox cart. Ying Lian said in a trembling voice: "Uncle! ”
I didn't know what was suddenly happening outside, but I heard Ying Ziqu babbling, and I was extremely emotional.
Ying Pian said: "Uncle is saying that he just wants to see his younger brother, no one can doubt him and insult him......"
There was a dead silence around, and it took a long time to hear the sixth brother who won mercy say: "Uncle, I don't doubt you, I just follow the rules...... I'm sorry......" He sighed and said, "Get out of the way!" ”
I was secretly relieved that the Trojan horse's strategy was quite useful, as the two silk horses that had me and Ying Li were hidden in the mourning hall.
The silk horse was placed on the court, and a cold and arrogant voice said, "Why is he here?" ”
Ying Pitian said: "Big brother, why can't the uncle come to see my father?" ”
"He has long been expelled from the palace by his father and demoted to a concubine, so he is not qualified to come here!" It turned out to be the eldest prince of Qin who spoke.
"Come, invite this persona non grata out and throw the sacrifices he brought out of the palace!"
