Chapter 26: The Son of Heaven's Rope
In order to buy land and create things, Princess Yangxin just didn't eat hard and put on a posture that couldn't buy land, but persuaded her husband to dedicate the picture to Emperor Han Jing to ask for a favor, but how could Cao Shi agree to this mention, not to mention that there is one less opportunity to buy land, and the only way to rebuild water conservancy facilities in the future is to continue to dedicate a way, and he is not an old scalper of the Liu family, so he is not willing to let Emperor Han Jing get cheap in vain.
The matter of buying the land was not negotiated, Cao Shi vaguely said that this was just a sketch, and there were still many places to continue to improve from the specific molding, and he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would not be able to make utensils, not only would it be useless but would have it, so it was better to wait for him to think clearly and get a reward for the Son of Heaven.
Princess Yangxin thought that she should indeed be cautious, Zhou Yafu's case shocked the government and the opposition, making the situation in the DPRK and China obscure, relatives, princes, princes and other forces with ill intentions mixed in the chaos of the Beijing Division, so that the already chaotic court situation was a mess, as the first princess of the Wang family, Princess Yangxin, who was born with a high degree of political sensitivity, felt that it was necessary to have less right and wrong, and less attention.
The next morning, Cao Shi and Princess Yangxin had just gotten up when they received an unsigned letter from a three-foot Mengtong who claimed that the client was the deceased and wanted to transfer it to the Marquis of Pingyang.
Yang Xin sat up with his head scattered, glanced at it and yawned: "It seems to be a kind of code language, the generals in the army like to use code words to communicate, where did the gentleman know the military figures?" ”
"Something is wrong, I just arrived in Beijing for a few days, where will I know inexplicable military figures, the ancestor never said that there are generals in the army are relatives and friends when he was alive, this letter of thanks is inexplicable, I burned it." Cao Shi dismantled the bamboo slips into pieces and threw them into the stove, staring directly at the bamboo slips that made a popping sound in the fire.
He faintly noticed in his heart that this letter of thanks from the bull's head was not for no reason, and the other party must have known that he did not understand the art of secret language in the army, and sent a letter of thanks from the deceased in this format and specially instructed that it was a letter of thanks from the deceased, and this complicated behavior was very worthy of his suspicion.
Staring at the burning flames, Cao Shi's gaze changed: "Who will this person be?" It is impossible for the Marquis of Pingyang, there are very few intersections in Hedong County, and Shen Tu Gong and Zhou Yangyou don't have to go to great lengths to contact him, and the only ones left are the Xinhou Mansion and Jingshi Chang'an, but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Fu! ”
Thank him because of the line on the case, Zhou Fu has already seen it.
Princess Yangxin raised her mouth and said, "What is the gentleman staring at that thing?" The concubine is going to visit her mother in the palace today, and today she should be able to get the day when the gentleman enters the palace to pay respects. ”
According to the etiquette system, in the prescribed time after the daughter gets married, the husband will take the daughter to visit the uncle and aunt, Princess Yangxin has not joined hands to meet the Son of Heaven and the queen since she got married.
At this time, Chang'an City East Que Jiadi, Shaoshang Mansion Gate is closed, Zhou Fu walked back and forth in the mansion anxiously waiting for the news of Tingwei Mansion, just yesterday Tingwei Zhao Fang insulted Zhou Yafu again and attempted to rebel, the old Tiaohou did not know that his son-in-law was framed in Beijing, and thought that these five hundred armor shields were really made for himself as a dark weapon, so he stalked his head and distinguished from Tingwei Zhao Fang.
As a result, he was scolded by Tingwei Zhao Fang: "Jun Zong does not want to rebel against the ground, that is, he wants to rebel against the ears!" ”
Even if this batch of armor shields was not used by you during your lifetime, you have to rely on this batch of armor shields to rebel when you die, and you don't rebel when you live, just to rebel after death, almost to put out the face of Tingwei and insist on going down, putting on a look that I am just going to sue you for rebellion, and I can't help me, the almost humiliating way of saving the country Zhou Yafu wants to commit suicide in prison.
"The emperor makes the well sill and traps the tiger, and wants to make me wag my tail and beg for food! However, if I have a million troops, how can I indulge in the humiliation of exhaustion! ”
The same words are said in different ways, Zhou Yafu is much tougher than his father Zhou Bo, he would rather die than feel bullied and insulted if he wants to touch the wall with his head, as if he is a hero who is angry and not ashamed of the heroes in the world.
But Zhou Yafu's suicide was unsuccessful, and he was stopped by his husband and persuaded bitterly: "If the prince dies at this time, he will inevitably be falsely accused of committing suicide by Tingwei!" The concubine thinks that the prince will not be able to die lightly, and if he dies, my Zhou family will suffer a catastrophe! ”
So Tiaohou didn't plan to commit suicide, he decided to starve himself to death and not bow his head, asking you to give the Son of Heaven a piece of meat and not give me a spoon, and stared at him with a shy face and sneered: "Isn't this not enough? ”
Co-authoring means that if you don't give you chopsticks, you won't grab meat to eat, and eagle dogs never use chopsticks to eat meat, which is similar to Emperor Gao's "gong dog" theory, but Zhou Yafu was disgusted with disgust.
If you want me to be a dog in front of the emperor, I'd rather starve to death than grab meat to satisfy my hunger! So Hou Zhou Yafu began a hunger strike.
Whenever Zhou Fu thinks of his uncle suffering, he is anxious, but across the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, he can't pass on a thousand words, and he is like an ant on a hot pot and almost goes crazy.
There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, and several domestic servants hurriedly came to salute and said: "The prince is on a hunger strike without saying a word in prison, and the lady is also on a hunger strike with the prince outside the house, and the prince is also on a hunger strike in prison. ”
"Tingwei Zhao Fang is afraid, he is afraid that the prince will starve to death in the prison, and his face will be damaged." Zhao Shi stared coldly in the direction of the Tingwei Mansion, his eyes filled with endless anger and resentment.
Zhou Fu reprimanded the servants, turned around and asked, "What do the guards think we should do?" ”
"Shao Shangzao can no longer call me a protector, now I am just a common man of the knighthood." Zhao Shi is the strange man who advised Zhou Yafu during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and served as a strategist of Zhou Yafu during the war.
Not long after Zhou Yafu went to work from the position of prime minister, Zhao Shi was transferred to an idle post to be a petty official in Beijing.
"The prince and the marquis suffered in the Tingwei prison, but we waited in the mansion with fine clothes and fine food, I feel that my heart is difficult to be stable when I think about it, and I think the same way when I think about it!"
Zhou Fu nodded, these days he couldn't sleep steadily, his head was muddy during the day, he was full of nightmares at night, and he often woke up in the middle of the night and didn't know where he was.
"Therefore, Shao Shangzao should send the prince to see the last journey in the prison of Tingwei, and put down these words at the bottom of the food box, which should be the last words of the prince!" Zhao Shi lamented and felt infinite sadness in his heart, from ancient times to the present, there are several people who have to prepare for the aftermath of their relatives who starved to death, and the result of Zhou Yafu to starve to death has been decided, and his family can only make final preparations for him before his death.
Zhou Fu picked up the note, read it and sighed: "There are such kind-hearted good people among the princes, Pingyang Hou has a great kindness to my Zhou family, if there is a chance to find a way to return it several times in the future, we must keep the secret for Pingyang Hou and not leak it in the slightest." ”
"In the lower province is severe, the prince and the marquis are unforgettable to the great grace of the lower, and the marquis of Pingyang does not dare to forget the great grace of the prince and the marquis, this secret is only known to the young and the next two, and you must not wear six ears!" Under the candlelight, the two figures looked at each other and sighed softly.
In the evening of the next day, Zhou Fu came to the Tingwei Mansion Prison with a basket of wine and delicacies, and the black prison was buried deep in the ground without sunlight all year round.
Poof!
Zhou Fu knelt at the end of the prison, looking at his uncle with tears streaming down his face, he hadn't seen his uncle for a few months, he was as old as a seventy-year-old, his original black beard became as white as snow, leaning on the wall to support his body and unwilling to fall, his eyes were slightly closed like an old man in his last years, and he could leave at any time.
The sound of wailing woke up the old man who was pretending to sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he said angrily, "Fu'er, what are you doing? Give me back now! ”
"Father Ji, please listen to me! Even if you die in prison, please eat a few more bites! Don't go hungry and go underground to be scolded by the eldest father (Zhou Bo)! Zhou Fu wailed, knelt on the ground and bowed again and again with his head touching the ground, and respectfully pushed the food box in, which was steamed rice and a chicken, a fish and two catties of sheep.
Zhou Yafu kicked over the food box with all his strength and scolded: "What do you know! The Son of Heaven wants me to die, I, Zhou Yafu, can only die, eat these few mouthfuls of food and still have no face to see the ancestor when I go underground, it is better to starve to death, you get out of here! ”
"Father Ji doesn't eat, so what?" Zhou Fu covered his face and quietly looked left and right, and now the jailers were not happy to watch the bitter drama of the uncle and nephew, so they hid aside and didn't know whether they were chatting or napping, and then they tossed the food box that they kicked over, pulled out a two-finger-wide note from the rice, and then howled and cried again and again, stood up and left without saying a word.
Zhou Yafu picked up the note and was silent for a long time, until the jailer's shouting and scolding sounded, he swallowed the note into his stomach without saying a word and continued to close his eyes.
The calm stagnant water of the Jingshi is surging undercurrent, and the will of the Son of Heaven is getting tighter and tighter on the rope imposed on Zhou Yafu, perhaps this is a noose that strangles all the princes, as if Emperor Gao and Empress Lu hanged the king with a different surname and hung on the neck of the princes to strangle him a little bit, and finally the Son of Heaven will rule the world and all the people will be driven by eagles and dogs at will.
The Son of Heaven did not know, or knew or did not want to believe, that this noose of imperial power gradually got out of control, until one day it would endanger himself and the existence of this vast and boundless empire.
