Drumming, stabbing, confession, self-stabbing -

These are just a few breaths of things that happened, except for Liu Dongming, the general of the Inner Guard, who accompanied Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng, were all Korean civil officials, and Mu Jingyan, Wang Zongyue, Zhen Zidan and their group of Jinyi guards had a banquet in another banquet hall, accompanied by the military attache of Pyongyang Prefecture, and the two stone pillar soldiers Ma Kuoqi and Sheba, who had been guarding Zhang Yuan very tightly along the way, were also dining there at this time, no one would have expected such an astonishing change in the Datong Pavilion, so no one could stop this dancing girl-

The lamp and candle were as high as day, and the dancer's sharp blade pierced her chest very clearly, and the blood soon flowed out along the stalkless blade, dripping from the end of the blade onto the slender waist drum that the dancer was still carrying, and the drum surface covered with white fish skin was quickly dyed a brilliant red—

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the dancer with a thin blade in her chest knelt down, and the thin waist drum hit the ground with a "bang" sound, the dancer still held the end of the thin blade in one hand, and supported the trembling body with the thin waist drum with the other hand, holding her head high, her eyes kept staring at Zhang Yuan, and said in the pure Ming official dialect: "The little woman was originally from Gyeongbokgung Palace, the prince of Yongchang——"

"Shut up!"

Liu Dongming shouted, and raised his voice again: "Where is the military guard, where is the military guard, drag this cheap maid out." ”

Zhang Yuan's decisive and poignant eyes moved Zhang Yuan, and he said: "Wait, this woman has a sharp blade in her heart, her life is instantaneous, and she is about to die, can't she finish her words." He took two steps closer and asked the dancer, "What do you say?" ”

The dancer must have been in unbearable pain, and her beautiful face was a little distorted. His voice trembled: "Three years ago, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of Yongchang was exiled to Ganghwa Island, but Guanghaejun still did not let His Royal Highness the Great King of Yongchang go, so that this person-" pointed at Liu Dongming, "It was this person who went to Ganghwa Island and killed His Royal Highness the Great King of Yongchang." His Royal Highness the Lord Yongchang is only eight years old—"

The dancer burst into tears, her heart ached, her hand could no longer support her thin waist drum, her body was crooked, she fell to the ground, her mouth began to vomit blood, but her eyes were still slanted at Zhang Yuan, and she continued: "Yongchang Dajun." is the king of Joseon, Gwanghaejun abolishes his mother and kills his brother, he is not the king of Joseon, and the angel should not be. He shouldn't have come to canonize his son—"

Liu Dongming couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and kicked the dancer over, and the dancer twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.

Liu Dongming, the general of the Inner Guard, gasped and trembled with anger. Waving his hands and shouting: "Come on, come on, detain all these and interrogate them severely!" Strict interrogation! ”

The Korean guards rushed in, Mu Jingyan, Sheba, Ma Kuoqi, and Wang Zongyue. and Zhen Zidan led a group of brocade guards to rush in, and Mu Jingyan and the others saw that Zhang Yuan was safe and sound. Only then was relieved, and those North Korean guards dragged the twenty-one female musicians out of the hall. One of the guards probed the snort of the dancing girl who was curled up on the ground, and said, "My lord, this dancing girl seems to have lost her breath—"

Liu Dongming roared: "Drag it out, drag it out." He also chased over and kicked the dead dancer a few times, and shouted at Cao Shen Yu Yan: "Yu Shen Ju, you brought the female music from Beijing, what should you be guilty of if such a thing happened?" ”

Yu Yan's face turned pale, and he argued: "This is the female music raised by the vocal music department under Li Cao, not a temporary recruitment, how could he have thought that such a thing would happen!" ”

"Not only is Yu participating in the judgment, but even Cao Cui's judgment is also to blame this time."

Liu Dongming snorted coldly, turned around, but saw Zhang Yuan looking at him coldly, and that look made him shudder-

In just a moment, Zhang Yuan lowered his eyes, rubbed the corners of his forehead with his hand, and said, "I have a headache, I really didn't drink well tonight, so let's rest early." As he spoke, he walked out of the hall, and the frightened Ruan Dacheng hurriedly followed. …,

Liu Dongming, Liu Xiya, and Yu Yan looked at each other, and Liu Xiya quickly caught up with Zhang Yuan, and said again and again: "Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, this kind of thing is indeed a small state that is not well guarded, so that the angels are frightened, guilty of sin, but Lord Zhang should not believe the words of the dancing girl, the dancing girl is a lowly person, I don't know who instigated it, talking nonsense." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "Well, well, I know, I know, this is an accident, a few adults don't come with me again, we are sleepy from the journey today, we have to rest early." ”

Liu Xiya stood awkwardly, watched Zhang Yuan and the others go out of the hall, turned around and asked his brother Liu Dongming: "Brother, how is this good?" ”

Liu Dongming stretched his face and said for a while: "Interrogate those female prostitutes first, beware of other rebels-the two angels, and then carefully explain tomorrow." ”

……

It was late at night, Zhang Yuan cooked tea by himself after bathing, in order to sort out his thoughts, this tea set was Wang Wei's, and he took it with him on the road-

The charcoal fire is reddish, the pot water has been boiling, and the lightly fragrant tea has been placed at the bottom of the celadon cup, but Zhang Yuan has not poured the tea, he is pondering, Guanghaijun slaughtered his brother and killed his brother, he has long known that the emperor's family has always had a tradition of fratricide, which is not surprising, but after all, he learned from the history books, Zhang Yuan didn't think that Guanghaijun was so angry before, but from the decisive knife of the dancing girl, this is the real accusation of blood and tears, which gave Zhang Yuan a great shock, This dancer exposes Gwanghae-kun's sins in the form of committing suicide in front of the Great Tomorrow Envoy, the dancer is an assassin, and she assassinates herself, which seems to require more courage than assassinating others-

Someone in the courtyard whispered, followed by a knock on the door, Ruan Dacheng said: "Jiezi, you haven't slept yet." ”

Zhang Yuan opened the door and let Ruan Dacheng come in, and said: "I'm not scared, where can I sleep, Brother Ji will come and drink tea together." Brewed a cup of tea for Ruan Dacheng, and the two of them sat down to drink tea and talk.

Ruan Dacheng said: "We have been out of Beijing since the 22nd of last month, all the way safe, how did we expect that such a major event happened in Xijing, North Korea, Jiezi, we are envoys on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, if such a thing happens, if you pretend to be nothing, it will also damage our dignity, but no matter whether the matter of Guanghai Jun's imprisonment of his mother and concubine and killing his brother is true or false, we as envoys cannot blame or intervene, how should we deal with the current situation so as not to damage our dignity and not disgrace our mission?" ”

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "This is not Lin Xiangru envoy Qin, it's just canonization, even if it is done well, it is not a dishonorable mission, let's rest in Pyongyang for a few days first, isn't Fan Tongshi sick, then I will be sick tomorrow." ”

Fan Tongshi has been unwell for the past few days, and he has been lying in a carriage and hurrying, but when he arrived in Pyongyang today, he has extended medical treatment.

Ruan Dacheng asked, "What does Jie Zi mean——? ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The imperial court asked me to wait for the envoy to North Korea to canonize the prince, but the date of the trip was not specified, so why delay for a few days, why do you have to listen to Liu Dongming's words and rush to the eighth day of the fifth month to canonize the prince, delay it for a few days, and wait and see what happens." ”

Tonight's incident made Zhang Yuan feel very evil about that Liu Dongming, although as an envoy to the overall situation, but people have a temperament, and Zhang Yuan feels that Guanghaijun's regime is still unstable, and it is necessary to wait and see for the time being-

Ruan Dacheng said: "Jiezi, you are resourceful, let me get sick, otherwise those North Koreans will haunt me all day long." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Anyway, even if it is a real illness, Liu Dongming and they will think that they are pretending to be sick, so it is better to get sick together, the journey is hard, and the water and soil are not adapted." ”

Ruan Dacheng said with a smile: "It's really hard, it's time for a few days of minor illness, and it's fun to have a minor illness." ”

After Ruan Dacheng left, Zhang Yuan asked people to call Zhang Rushen again, and instructed Zhang Rushen to say some words, and Zhang Rushen took the order and left.

……

Early the next morning, the two brothers Liu Dongming and Liu Xiya and Pyongyang Prefecture Shen Yin came to the post house to ask Zhang Yuan, and when they drank last night, they originally said that they would be accompanied by Liu Xiya and Yu Yan to visit Pyongyang City, and go to the Jizi Temple and Tanjun Temple to worship, Pyongyang is only six days away from Wangjing Seoul, and they can rest in Pyongyang for a day, and they will set off again on the first day of May, and arrive at Wangjing in time on the sixth or seventh day of the first lunar month——...,

A Korean minister who was proficient in Chinese came to the courtyard of the pavilion where the two angels lived, and explained his intention to the Jinyi guard on duty, who said with a straight face: "The two adults are in poor health, and they can't go to the temple to worship incense. ”

This incident hurriedly went out to report the news of the angel's illness to Liu Dongming and the others, Liu Dongming frowned, paced back and forth a few times, and ordered his entourage to quickly ask the medical officer to come and treat the two angels-

Liu Xiya said in a low voice: "Brother, how can it be such a coincidence, the two of them are sick together?" ”

Liu Dongming sneered: "If you want to put up an angel's shelf, we can't say it, of course we have to extend the doctor to treat them - also, send more meat, rice and fruits to the Celestial Empire mission, and send four maids to wait for the two envoys, how can there be no one to serve them when they are sick." ”

Liu Xiya asked: "Are you still looking for candidates from that group of female musicians?" ”

Liu Dongming said: "The interrogation of the female musician overnight has been clarified, only the cheap maid is the palace maid dismissed from Gyeongbok Palace, and the rest are fine, fortunately, the cheap maid still has a breath, first save the life and then interrogate, and must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and use this matter to eradicate all the party of the abolished concubine, which is called Sai Weng's loss of horses and not knowing whether it is a blessing." ”

……

At two o'clock, a medical officer came to the Datong Pavilion to see a doctor for the two envoys of the Heavenly Empire, this medical officer had already been advised by Liu Dongming, and said very cooperatively that the two angels' small illness was caused by the fatigue of the journey, and the body could be healed after a day of rest, and the road could be carried out as usual tomorrow, and a dose of food tonic soup was prescribed, saying that it was the famous prescription left by the imperial physician Xu Changjin seventy years ago, which was stewed by golden rooster, grass cardamom, matsutake mushroom, and wolfberry——

Zhang Yuan sat on the bed and asked, "Is Xu Changjin the famous Da Changjin that the medical officer said?" ”

The medical officer flattered: "The angel is knowledgeable, omniscient, admires and admires, Xu Changjin is Da Changjin, because of the method of medicine and dietary supplements, I Zhongzong King named her Da Changjin." ”

Zhang Yuan has not watched the super-long Korean drama "Da Jang Jin" in later generations, he has only heard of it, and he has nothing to inquire about, watching the medical officer stew medicinal soup, this medical officer stewed soup and scooped out a small bowl to drink it himself, so that the angel can rest assured-

When the medical officer was drinking soup, a captain of the Jinyi Guard came to report that Cao Yu had sent four maids to serve the illness of the two adults, and asked Lord Zhang if he wanted to let them in?
