Chapter 68: The Emperor's Heart

Looking at the thousands of miles of the Han Dynasty, those in power who have a little insight have begun to accumulate strength and accumulate thick and thin, in order to achieve the goal of quelling internal strife and external troubles, and even more, those who foresee the situation of the princes separating have begun to dream of the Duke of Qi Huan.

Liaoxi Gongsun Zhan, Xuzhou Tao Gongzu, Xiliang Dong Zhongying, Yizhou Liu Junlang......

It's ridiculous that the civil, military and military friends in the Imperial City of Yanjing are still intriguing and playing a game of political dumping tirelessly.

More than three months ago, the most shocking thing in Yanjing was Guo Jia's bloody battle at the East Gate, and then there was a small thing that worried the Luoyang scholars: Cai Yan, a talented woman who was famous in Luoyang, disappeared.

Cai Yan's life and death have been uncertain, I don't know how many young people Junyan sighed with a sad face, and there are many people who privately mobilize family forces to look for them, but they don't know whether to send Cai Yan back to Cai's mansion after finding him, or if he has other plans, then only they know it.

Two months ago, Cai Yan, who not only made Cai Yong and his wife sad for a long time, but also made the talented people of Junyan a little haggard, finally returned safely.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan, who was full of wind and frost, contracted the wind and cold, and was sick in bed.

The doctor of the number vein said "Let the daughter be happy" and asked Cai Yong to beat him out of the house directly.

The talented people who cared about Cai Yan found that Cai's house was closed to refuse customers, and they couldn't bear to be in love, so they had to ask the doctor who came to see Cai Yan first, what disease did Cai Yan have?

When rumors arise, there are rights and wrongs.

The news that Cai Yan was pregnant with Liujia spread far and wide, and the talented people in Luoyang City were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they shook their heads in disbelief with sour tears in their eyes, so they had to ask around for news, and things intensified, Cai Yong's generation of Confucianism, and his proud daughter spread this kind of rumor, and naturally his reputation was damaged, even if his friends for many years came to visit, he didn't see anything.

Later, nearly 100 scholars in Luoyang City gathered around the gate of Cai's mansion, saying that they were going to visit Cai Yong and ask for teaching.

The door of Cai's mansion opened, and the beautiful Cai Yan finally appeared in everyone's sight again, and many scholars were excited to shed tears on the spot, but Cai Yan's next sentence made them even more excited and wanted to cry.

Cai Yan, who was once gentle and elegant, is gone, this time, her eyes are indifferent, looking up slightly, it seems that the scholars outside the mansion are invisible, and the delicate tone of the past has disappeared, indifferent and calm, more contemptuous.

"You want to know if I'm really pregnant, and I tell you, I'm pregnant. You must want to know who the father of the child is, and I will tell you, Guo Jia. ”

Cai Yan, who was as angry as a quiet orchid, seemed to have finished saying an ordinary thing, and turned around and went home.

There was silence outside the house, and I don't know how long it took, the Luoyang scholars who finally broke out in silence began to curse Cai Yan as if they had been humiliated......

The catharsis of these Luoyang scholars was just a trivial matter, but it caused a big storm in the court.

The Ten Standing Servants took the opportunity to challenge the scholars, and demanded a thorough investigation of Guo Jia's henchmen in the court on the grounds that Cai Yan had fornicated with Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia has henchmen in the court, then the Xun family will bear the brunt first, and then Jian Shuo among the ten permanent servants.

Why? Because the edict to pardon Guo Jia was presented to the Son of Heaven after the Xun family made sure that it was correct.

So you come and go, fight openly and secretly, relatives, eunuchs, scholars, and the three parties are involved in it and fight inextricably.

The Xun family suffered, and the general couldn't sit idly by, because Xun You was his staff member and served as the squire of the Yellow Gate.

The scholars could not let the eunuchs use the topic to eradicate dissidents, so the Yuan family was the leader to protect the children of the Xun family led by Xun Shuang.

The Ten Standing Servants finally died down, after all, Jian Shuo and a prince association they supported involved Jian Shuo, and the prince association was to support Xun Yu.

The invisible sword and sword shadow in the court is over, but Cai Yan fornicated with Guo Jia and became pregnant is something she personally admitted, which cannot be resigned, so Cai Yong was deposed, Cai Yan was sent to the prison, and was exiled to the northwest after the corruption.

If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jia was involved, and Guo Jia was now named as a rebel, otherwise Cai Yan would not have been implicated at all, at best, it would be humiliating to the family, being spurned by others, and oppressed by moral public opinion.

"Yan'er, you, why are you so stupid, why do you want to say it?"

In the dim and stinking prison, Cai's mother took out her family's savings for many years to open up layers of relationships before she met her daughter Cai Yan.

Seeing Cai Yan ignoring her image at all and behaving rudely devouring the food she brought, Cai's mother burst into tears.

Cai Yan, who was once imprisoned by Guo Jia at the foot of Taihang Mountain, also had no more than a few bites per meal at this time, but she had obviously choked and vomited several times, but she still forcibly stuffed food into her mouth.

Compared with eating at least five times more than before, Cai Yan finally stopped his movements, leaned back, leaned back, leaned back against the cold wall, calmly closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, as if mocking, and said lightly: "Stupid? I, Cai Yan, am a man who is willing to commit myself, why can't I say it? ”

Cai's mother, who was wiping her tears, was stunned when she heard this, and when she saw that her daughter was still unrepentant at this time, she sobbed: "Aren't you afraid of the shame of the world?" ”

As if hearing a joke, Cai Yan laughed softly and did not answer his mother's question.

Laughing? Guo Jia, will you let me be laughed at openly and honestly by the world? One day, one day, people in the world can laugh at me Cai Yan, but I must kneel in front of you and bow and worship, if you want to laugh, you can only laugh in your heart forever.

"Yan'er, how can we do now? You're going to ...... in half a month The lord refuses to come forward to ask His Majesty for mercy, is there no way? ”

No matter what her daughter did wrong, Cai's mother definitely couldn't bear to see her daughter being corrupted and exiled to the bitter cold of the northwest, but Cai Yong's generation of Confucianism, her daughter did such a damaging thing, and she had no face, how could she come forward to intercede? The open and secret struggle in the court over this matter has just come to an end, and no one is willing to make waves again and cause trouble because of this matter.

Cai Yan, who leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, said softly: "There is only one person who can save me." ”

"Who?" Cai's mother seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, with a hopeful look in her eyes.

"Guo Jia."

Cai's mother looked puzzled, and asked hesitantly: "He, does he have a way?" Will he come? ”

Raising his head and opening his eyes, looking at the top of the dark prison, Cai Yan squinted his eyes and said lightly: "A hegemon, he doesn't let go of the gains and losses of a city or a place, let alone a woman?" ”

Guo Jia, if you break into Luoyang to rob the prison, it means that I, Cai Yan, have mistaken you.

After I die, your imperial heart will completely sprout.

The hand gently stroked the lower abdomen, and Cai Yan's upward eyes showed a rare touch of tenderness.

It's a pity that if I had known that I was pregnant, I would have waited for the child to be born and then returned to Luoyang.

Guo Jia, your children and I must be green and ......

Recently, Xun Yu, who has been cautious in his words and deeds, went straight back to his house after leaving Changle Palace.

As soon as he entered the mansion, his subordinates told him that someone had come to visit, claiming that Yingchuan was an old man.

Xun Yu wondered in his heart, Guo Jia had become a prisoner of the imperial court, and it was absolutely impossible to enter Luoyang again, and the old people of Yingchuan, besides Guo Jia, who else could there be?

When he walked into the study, when he saw the visitor, he was stunned at first, and then said with a surprised smile: "Yuan Zhi! Gee, I should have thought it was you. ”

Xu Shu saluted Xun Yu, he and Xun Yu are only a few faces, and they are not as good as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Xun Yu have a deep friendship, but there is no doubt that they are convinced by each other.

After the two of them took their seats, they served tea, and Xun Yu asked straight to the point: "Where is Fengxiao?" ”

Since Xu Shu is here, Guo Jia must also come.

Xu Shu knew that he couldn't hide Wang Zuozhi's talent from Xun Yu, so he nodded and smiled: "Feng Xiao is at the foot of Beibi Mountain outside Luoyang City. ”

Xun Yu put away his smile after hearing this, and asked tentatively: "Fengxiao's trip is for Miss Cai?" ”

Xu Shu did not hide it, and said: "A few days ago, Feng Xiao learned that Miss Cai was in prison, so he hurried over. Here, it's to save Miss Cai. ”

In this regard, Xun Yu sighed: "Yuan Zhi, I heard that Miss Cai was in distress, and I also wanted to help save her, but now there is no one in Luoyang City who can save her." ”

Xu Shu restrained his smile and said, "I think so too." There are only three people who can save Miss Cai, the general He Jin, the Taifu Yuan Kui, and the Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang. The three of them are relatives, scholars, and eunuch leaders, but the game between the three parties in the court has become a delicate situation, and at this time, no one will fight again, especially helping Fengxiao, which is equivalent to setting fire to the fire. ”

Everyone is a clear-eyed person in the current situation and situation, and they can see it better than anyone else, so Xun Yu is powerless, but he doesn't understand, with Guo Jia's intelligence, it is not difficult to see the current situation, and if he wants to save Cai Yan, there is only one last way left: robbing prison.

But this method is like a moth to a fire and brings about its own destruction.

If the prison is easy to rob, then it cannot be called a prison that is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and is surrounded by steep and dangerous prisons.

Guessing that Guo Jia might take a risk and gather people to rob the prison, Xun Yu hurriedly asked, "How many people did Feng Xiao bring here?" ”

Xu Shu expected Xun Yu's worries and said, "Here, only me and Fengxiao are the two. ”

Unexpectedly, the guess in his heart fell through, and Xun Yu didn't know what Guo Jia's plans were, so he asked: "Then what is Fengxiao's plan to save Miss Cai?" ”

Since it's not a prison robbery, it's only one way to outwit it.

Xu Shu smiled and said softly: "Fengxiao sent me, I just want Wen Ruo to help him make an appointment with someone and go to Beibi Mountain to meet him." ”

"Who?"

Xun Yu couldn't guess that in the current situation, who else had the energy to rescue Cai Yan, after all, no one from relatives, eunuchs, and scholars would come forward to intercede for Cai Yan.

"The Prince's Association."

Hearing the answer in Xu Shu's mouth, Xun Yu's face froze, and then he suddenly realized, and said with joy: "Feng Xiao is really scheming, at this moment, only the Prince Association is outside the situation but wants to get involved in it and muddy the water." ”
