Chapter Eighty-Nine: Actually, it hasn't changed
The feeling of the blade slashing into the cheek has not arrived, on the contrary, it seems that there are water droplets constantly dripping down, is it snowflakes? It doesn't seem to be!
Cao Wuxian slowly opened his eyes, but the scene in front of him surprised him a lot. ± the top novel, x. Zhu Ping'an couldn't stop the falling knife, and in a hurry, he directly blocked the blade with his left hand between the lightning and flint, and the falling was clearly the blood on Zhu Ping'an's palm.
"Less...... Father! Cao Wuxian, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly choked up.
But a cold snort from the carriage not far behind him made Cao Wuxian's body tremble suddenly.
Shen Ke and Wang Jinfa rushed forward, and without saying anything, they pulled Zhu Ping'an and took a few steps back. The guards on the left and right thousand households and Lu Zhenfei's mansion instantly formed a line of defense, blocking Zhu Ping'an and the others behind.
Cao stood up in despair, and retreated to the carriage with vague steps. The curtain of the carriage had been lifted, revealing a bloodless face.
Zhu Yujiao reclined in the carriage of the carriage, lifted the curtain with difficulty with one hand, and looked at Zhu Ping'an's eyes full of indescribable resentment and hatred.
Wang Jinfa hurriedly helped Zhu Ping'an wrap the wound on his hand, but Zhu Ping'an didn't feel a trace of pain, and he looked at Zhu Yujiao in the carriage with some surprise. The original heroic eldest princess has completely changed her appearance.
Not to mention the weight loss, the original thick green silk seems to be a lot less, and the sparse hair is barely covered with a square scarf on the head, but the whole body seems to be unsupported, leaning softly in the carriage, as if the legs don't need strength at all.
Cao Wuxian stood by the carriage, took out a soft cushion, leaned behind Zhu Yujiao, and asked softly, "It's windy outside." It's snowing again, be careful of the wind chill! “
Zhu Yujiao replied coldly: "You don't have to be deceived by him again." On the day of the Nanjing Rebellion, I learned that the worst wicked people in the world were all dressed in a good skin of compassion and compassion. Aren't you and me miserable enough to be hurt by him? ”
Cao Wuxian wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say anything.
Wang Jinfa has not finished bandaging his wounds. Zhu Ping'an had already withdrawn his palm, pushed aside everyone, walked straight to the carriage, and knelt down on his knees.
"Minister Zhu Ping'an sees the eldest princess!" Zhu Ping'an's such a move surprised Ge Ying and Yan Yingyuan, the woman who was paralyzed on the carriage like a waste turned out to be the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao, and she had to kneel down behind Zhu Ping'an and the others at the moment.
"Humph!" Zhu Yujiao looked coldly at Zhu Ping'an, who was kneeling on the ground. "General Zhu Bing, Zhu Dashuai, now I can't afford to bow down like you. King Tang is about to ascend the throne, and Ma Shiying, Zhu Yousong and other rebels have also been awarded, and I also thought about it for a long time before I found out. It turns out that the praying mantis catches cicadas and the yellow finch is behind, but Zhu Dashuai's yellow finch is very hidden! The descendants of my Divine Sect line withered and cut off, but it made Tang Wangfu 'plain' pick up a big bargain! Hahaha! ”
Zhu Yujiao's laughter was like a night owl, and it looked particularly weird and poignant in the dark and silent night.
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" Wang Jinfa suddenly opened his mouth, "Your Highness said this, but you misunderstood my family's handsome." It was Zhu Yousong, Ma Shiying and others who committed the rebellion, but it was the Fujian Zheng family who contributed to the troubles. The marshal of my family was loyal to the court and the first emperor, and after learning the bad news. Immediately raise troops to quell the rebellion. If my family has a little bit of dissent, why didn't I avoid the hardships and dangers of rushing to the aid of the Beijing division earlier. To welcome the crown prince at that time, that is, the first emperor, came all the way to Nanjing to ascend the throne? ”
"You minion is sharp!" Zhu Yujiao said coldly: "The merits of this don't need people like you to defend Zhu Ping'an. What secrets are hidden behind the Nanjing Rebellion, your handsome family knows it very well. Zhu Ping'an, when Nanjing was in turmoil, your army was stationed in Suizhou, why didn't you help when you saw Dingbeibo under siege? And also. Your men got the news that Ma Shiying and the others were going to launch a rebellion early in the morning, but why did they keep hiding it, even from him? ”
Zhu Yujiao pointed at Cao Wuwu. "On that day, there was chaos in the palace, and the first emperor was martyred. I hid in the Chunlai Pavilion, the rebels lit a raging fire, how many palace people were burned to charcoal around me, if it weren't for a few eunuchs who sacrificed their lives to save me, and dug me out of the ruins in time without injury, I'm afraid I would have turned into dust by now. It's just that these legs are already useless! ”
With a slight wave of Zhu Ping'an's injured left hand, the soldiers of the left and right thousands of households had already tightly surrounded the carriage, and the round shield surrounded the entire carriage impenetrable, which also made Cao Wuxian slightly discolored.
Ge Ying and Yan Yingyuan looked at each other, but they also knew that Zhu Ping'an had a secret message to talk to Zhu Yujiao, so they withdrew their soldiers and horses to the periphery and blocked the entrances and exits on both sides of the street.
"I'm sorry Your Highness and no injuries!" Zhu Ping'an bowed to Zhu Yujiao, "But ask yourself, the minister has nothing to owe to the first emperor!" ”
"You're ......!" Zhu Yujiao's willow eyebrows were raised, "You are still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, without my father and the first emperor, where would you be Zhu Ping'an today?" ”
"Doesn't His Royal Highness know the jealousy and precautions of Lord Chongzhen and the first emperor against his ministers? For so many years, how many open guns and arrows have the minister dodged, and the accident of Yongshanzhai had not been prepared, I am afraid that my Zhu Ping'an would have died by now. The thieves besieged the Beijing Division, I, Zhu Ping'an, was for a king who entered Beijing, the first emperor ascended the throne of Nanjing, and I Zhu Ping'an was the first hero of the decision, but these have become my Zhu Ping'an's way to die! ”
"Isn't that fair?" Zhu Ping'an said word by word: "The reason why I stood by and watched the Nanjing Rebellion is very simple, that is-I don't want to die!" ”
"Traitor!" Zhu Yujiao screamed loudly, "You can say such a big rebellion!" ”
"In fact, His Royal Highness also knows that the Ming Dynasty was actually dead when the Jingshi fell. After nearly 300 years, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated deep shortcomings, so there is a world that is now falling apart. I, Zhu Ping'an, wholeheartedly supported the Ming Dynasty, otherwise I would not have entered the king of Beijing Qin when the army of thieves besieged the city, and I also sent the first emperor to Nanjing thousands of miles away. God gave the first emperor a chance, but he didn't cherish it, if the first emperor had the talent to turn the tide, then the minister had the wisdom of Zhuge and the courage of Lu Bu, what could he do? ”
Zhu Ping'an stood up slowly, and looked at Zhu Yujiao with his eyes level: "The minister is not defending himself, the minister already has a huge family business, a wife and children, and a cadre who follows, for them, the minister can't die!" ”
Zhu Yujiao's chest rose and fell violently, she didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to say such straightforward words, and couldn't help but acquiesce to the fact that she stood by and watched the death of Emperor Yixing, and even more so that she had no remorse and shame for her "disloyalty".
But Zhu Yujiao had to admit that what Zhu Ping'an said was an irrefutable truth. Nowadays, it is no longer a prosperous age, and in the troubled times, there is no difference between the emperor and ordinary people, and even the common people are inferior. The experience of the two national ruins and family ruins has made Zhu Yujiao deeply aware of this. In the midst of troubled times, what else can't be done for your own survival?
Ask yourself, Zhu Ping'an has done his best to be benevolent and righteous to Chongzhen's lineage, and even when Zhu Cihong in Yongshanzhai put a sword on his neck, Zhu Ping'an did not do anything rebellious or coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but Zhu Cihong was pressing step by step, and finally put himself in a desperate situation when he caused bitter fruits.
"Your Highness, do you remember?" Zhu Ping'an said slowly, his tone contained endless softness, "When His Highness insisted on staying in Nanjing that day, the ministers and insiders had repeatedly advised that Nanjing was a place of right and wrong, and staying here with His Highness's temperament would only make him feel bad." It's better to stay in Shandong, the sea and the sky, and wait until one day the world is calm, this picturesque mountains and rivers, where can you not go? ”
Listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, Cao Wuxian couldn't help but look at Zhu Yujiao beside him, and at this time, he suddenly found that Zhu Yujiao's eyes suddenly showed a trace of yearning.
On the same day in Chunlai Pavilion, Cao Wuxian was exhausted and rescued Zhu Yujiao from the ruins, and his face was also burned. Although after that, Cao Wuxian tried his best to heal Zhu Yujiao's injuries, but Zhu Yujiao's legs were still crippled, and now, she has no feeling at all from the waist down, and even her own defecation has to be served by Cao Wuxian.
Since Zhu Yujiao woke up from a coma, her whole person has become the same as before, and the whole person has become manic and melancholy, and she even doesn't pretend to hurt Cao Wu. Cao Wuxian knew very well where the crux of her heart was. Because of this, Zhu Yujiao aimed all the spearheads at Zhu Ping'an, who stood by and watched. In her opinion, after the Nanjing Rebellion, the biggest beneficiaries were Zhu Yujian and Zhu Ping'an's father and son, and Zhu Ping'an's negative attitude in the whole turmoil made Zhu Yujiao extremely suspicious of him.
And Cao Wu hurt himself, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an in his heart. Before the chaos, Ah Da was in the city of Nanjing, although Cao Wuxian's mind was not very delicate, but he also knew that Zhu Ping'an had done a lot of planning behind this, perhaps, the Nanjing Rebellion was a farce planned by Zhu Ping'an in order to assist his father in ascending to the throne. But why didn't he pass the news to himself as soon as possible, which made Cao Wuxian also complain a little about Zhu Ping'an.
If it weren't for this, Zhu Yujiao would not have become what she is now, from this point of view, Cao Wuxian blamed Zhu Ping'an for the fault, and it was because of this that there was a scene where he and Zhu Yujiao assassinated Zhu Ping'an on the street tonight.
But what Cao Wuxian didn't expect was that Zhu Ping'an would rather be injured than see himself bleed, which made Cao Wuxian instantly understand that he was still the Zhu Ping'an who sneaked into the stable to bring food to himself that day, and would fly forward to be whipped for himself when he was beaten, so many years, he actually hasn't changed at all.
At least, that's how it was for him Cao Wuxian.
Cao Wuxian gently pulled Zhu Yujiao's arm, "Okay, let's assassinate and assassinate today, and everything that should be said has been said, whether it is the answer we want or not, I finally figured it out in my heart." You have been practicing in Taisu Palace for such a long time, and it is time to let go of these things and plan for yourself. The world is so big, with me by your side, where can we not go, and why should we take these unhappy things to heart and cause sadness in vain? (To be continued......)
