I can't help but be angry with Lord Qin!

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, has been pampered for so many decades, and it is the first time he has smelled this special smell in his own palace, that disgusting and disgusting smell.

The little concubine hid in the quilt and seemed to be unable to bear the smell, and had already wrapped her whole body with a brocade quilt.

The palace steward shouted in panic: "Lord Wang, you better go out and have a look for yourself." ”

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, didn't know what was going on in his heart, but when he saw that the always steady palace housekeeper actually showed a frightened and frightened look in front of him for the first time, he couldn't help but feel that the situation was serious, and hurriedly put a robe on his body and ran out.

The inner courtyard of the palace didn't see anything abnormal, but more than a dozen maids in the inner courtyard covered their noses with handkerchiefs and kept fanning the wind with one hand.

And when I walked out of the outer courtyard, the disgusting smell became more and more intense. The churning in his stomach almost made Prince Qin vomit on the spot. The palace guards on both sides of the gate of the inner courtyard looked like they were seriously ill, their faces were blue, their steps were vain, their standing posture was unsteady, and they were swaying as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"See, I've seen the prince." When the two guards saw that Qin Wang Ye had come out in person, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, and then one of them's face changed, and he howled in pain: "No! Not again! As he spoke, he didn't care about being rude, so he raised his feet and ran in the direction of the latrine.

Qin Wangye's face changed, and he finally understood what the smell was, and retched a few times.

Seeing this, the housekeeper explained: "Lord, except for the guards in the palace, as long as the people in the palace are in the palace, they will have a bad stomach overnight. vomited and discharged, making a fuss until half dead. ”

Lord Qin's face changed. Quicken your pace and walk outside. I couldn't help but be stunned: the layout of the Qin Palace, most of the guards' residences were on both sides of the outer courtyard martial arts training ground, and the two rows of houses presented in front of the Qin Wangye at this moment were not so much the guards' residences, but the open-air thatched toilets were more appropriate: the smell was stinking, and thousands of palace guards were crying and caressing their stomachs, and on the passage between the residence and the thatched toilet, the guards who came and went were more lively than rushing to the market.

Both sides of the road. More than a dozen guards who were too late didn't care about the rules of the palace at this moment, and squatted on the grass with painful faces.

Several of the royal palace doctors were scrambling to give medicine to the guards.

A medical officer was called to Prince Qin's side by the housekeeper.

"What's going on?!" King Qin's anger was abnormal, and he asked.

The medical officer arched his hand and said, "Lord Qiqi, these guards have been given a super large dose of venting medicine. Fortunately, it was found early, and Xia Guan fed the medicine early, otherwise, he would have worried about his life. ”

"Leaking drugs?!" Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, felt a burst of absurdity, "The dignified Qin Palace, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." Dare to drug in the palace of King Qin? Then he thought of something wrong, pointed in the direction of the inner courtyard, and asked, "Then why is it only the palace guards who are strained?" The subordinates of the palace have no problem at all! ”

"This ......" The medical officer has been pulled up from his sleep since the early hours of the morning to treat the palace guards who suddenly fell ill. After a busy night, I was as tired as a dog, where did I have time to think about the reason. I couldn't help but hesitate to answer.

At this time, the housekeeper spoke: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have let people check it." The pill was in the guards' meal last night. According to the practice of our Qin Palace, the kitchen of the palace guards is different from that of other subordinates. ”

King Qin waved the medical officer back. Looking at the butler, he shouted viciously, "Find out for this king!" Who the hell did it! This king is going to peel off his skin!! ”

The housekeeper looked panicked, hesitated and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, since the accident last night, my subordinates have been thinking about this matter!" The man was able to unknowingly put such a large dose of venting medicine in the food of the palace guards, and he had not yet been discovered. It can be seen that this person's energy is not small! Our Qin Wangfu has been established for more than 100 years, and there has never been such a situation! Uh, Lord Wang, my subordinates took the liberty of asking: We haven't offended anyone in our palace recently, right? ”

Lord Qin snorted angrily and shouted, "Offending people? This king has been cautious and cautious all these years...... "Lord Qin just wanted to say that he has had a good relationship with people in all aspects of Shaanxi over the years, and he has not offended anyone. I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday in the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, and I couldn't talk anymore.

If you want to offend people, King Qin really offended one! And this person is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is a ruthless character.

Prince Qin's face changed several times, and he threw a sentence at the housekeeper: "Give this king a thorough investigation!" So he left the butler who had stayed on the spot, and hurried back to the inner courtyard.

The palace of King Qin seemed to be filled with this smell everywhere, and the palace couldn't stay any longer. Prince Qin snorted angrily and led the two servants, went out of the Qin Palace, and picked a restaurant far away from the Qin Palace, ready to breathe fresh air and change the environment.

The owner of the restaurant recognized Prince Qin and specially reserved the top private room for Prince Qin.

Standing in front of the windowsill of the private room, you can enjoy the breeze and the scenery facing the street! Lord Qin's mood was a little smoother.

It will take a while for the restaurant to prepare the dishes, and Lord Qin has just eased up at the moment due to the heart-blocking incident in the morning, and he is not in the mood for breakfast for a while. So he ordered the restaurant to prepare a pot of tea, and then called two geisha to sing softly on the side.

Prince Qin sat in front of the window, ready to soothe his mood.

However, after only a while, Prince Qin's mood was not happy again.

Because a row of officers and soldiers patrolling the yamen suddenly appeared on the street, stopped in front of the restaurant, and guarded the restaurant, and then a carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, and Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, got out of the carriage.

The flattering compliment of the restaurant owner sounded at the door of the restaurant: "The little one welcomes Lord Futai!" ”

"Lord Qin is still upstairs?"

"Yes, yes! The private room at the top of the shop. "The owner of the restaurant is obviously not the kind of person who has a sense of secrecy, and he sold Prince Qin without the slightest hesitation.

Qin Wang Ye heard the conversation downstairs clearly, and he suddenly lost the mood to sit down, got up unhappily, and looked in the direction of the staircase.

After waiting for a while, footsteps sounded in the stairs, and the first four Tsing Yi guards climbed up and stood at the door. Then Xu Liang went up to the top floor. Standing idly opposite Prince Qin, with a harmless smile on his face: "What a coincidence, Lord Qin!" We just met yesterday. I didn't expect to meet here again this morning. Do you say that the relationship between this official and the prince is particularly deep? Belch. No, you can't dung or dung in front of the prince today, lest the prince listen to it and feel sick in his stomach! ”

King Qin's face changed drastically, and he pointed at Xu Liang and shouted angrily: "Sure enough, it's you!" Lord Xu, you are also the governor of a province in vain, and you are acting so despicable! ”

Xu Liang looked surprised, waved his hand and said, "Hey, King Qin has no roots." You can't wronged the official! This official received a report from the patrol department early in the morning, saying that the Qin Wang's mansion was so stinky that he couldn't even do breakfast business on the street! When the official saw the prince, he was about to ask, is the latest stinky tofu being developed in the prince's mansion? ”

"Bastard!" King Qin trembled with anger, pointed at Xu Liang and scolded angrily: "Xu Liang! This king is a hereditary vassal king! What do you dare to do this!! You wait, this king has to be ruthless in front of the emperor! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, the smile on his face turned cold, and he glanced at King Qin coldly. said: "The prince wants to impeach the official, and the official naturally can't stop it." However, I would like to kindly remind the prince that before handing over the impeachment, you must think clearly. Think of the fate of those who oppose me! Think about the Qin Wangfu after several generations, this great cause was once removed. That would be a pity! ”

Feeling the threatening tone in Xu Liang's words, King Qin suddenly woke up: Qian Yongtai. Ma Commander, Yan Yun Envoy and other officials who did not deal with Xu Liang died one by one......

The complexion changed several times. Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, has always been timid and cautious, under Xu Liang's aggressive gaze, his momentum gradually weakened, and he stared at Xu Liang for a long time, thinking about how difficult it was for King Qin's lineage to be passed on to his own generation, and the Qin Wangfu had dominated Xi'an Mansion for so many years, once he angered the fierce governor of Shaanxi in front of him, the consequences would ......

King Qin sighed, his tone softened, and said, "Lord Xu, this king is a vassal king who eats and waits for death, why do you bother to force each other!" That's it, and the king will depend on you, and when you turn around, you will reduce the number of the king's guards to five hundred. I just ask Lord Xu to let the Qin Wangfu go. ”

Xu Liang shook his head lightly and said, "It's not reduced to five hundred, you can't keep one." ”

"What!" King Qin was furious and said, "How can you talk without words!" ”

I still remember that yesterday in the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, Xu Liang said well that he wanted the King of Qin to reduce the number of guards to 500 people, why did he change overnight!

Xu Liang glanced at King Qin coldly, took out a letter from his arms, smashed it on the tea table in front of King Qin, and said sarcastically: "Reduced to five hundred, that is yesterday's price!" Today's price code can't be left at all! Because of King Qin, what you did made this official very angry! You wrote this letter last night, right? ”

King Qin fixed his eyes and saw that the fold he wrote yesterday was supposed to be on the way to Jingshi, but at this moment, it was placed in front of his own tea table, and it was also opened, obviously Xu Liang already knew the content of the fold.

King Qin was shocked and frightened, looking at Xu Liang's eyes as if he had seen a flood beast!

Since when did the governor of Shaanxi have the right to stop the Shaanxi officials from presenting to the court?! It's horrible!!

Xu Liang looked at him coldly, and said threateningly: "The conditions of this official have been told to Prince Qin, and where the Qin Mansion is going is just in King Qin's thoughts." King Qin has to think carefully before making a decision, don't make a mistake. ”

King Qin stood for a while, his face turned ashen, and he arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said, "This decision is related to the future of King Qin's lineage, and this king needs time to think about it." ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "Yes, the official will give you a day to think about it." ”

"Okay, farewell!" When King Qin heard this, he seemed to be relieved, nodded at Xu Liang, and led the two servants towards the staircase.

"Lord Qin!" Xu Liang suddenly stopped him.

"How?"

Xu Liang looked at King Qin with a faint gaze and said, "You better listen to the advice of this official and disband the guards." Really, this is for your own good. ”

King Qin's footsteps paused slightly, and he left downstairs without saying a word.

Xu Liang watched King Qin leave, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and said softly: "It seems that he still doesn't give up, and he still wants to fight......

King Qin is indeed unwilling, although he sometimes seems a little weak, but he is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty in the end! was bullied by a small governor to disband the royal guards, this kind of shame, Zhu Cunshu couldn't bear it.

Returning to King Qin's Mansion with a gloomy face, King Qin immediately called the housekeepers in the palace, people like Changshi into the study.

"How's the palace guards?" King Qin first asked the housekeeper.

"Back to the prince, his condition is stable for the time being." The housekeeper said with palpitations: "It's just that the dose of the drug is too large, and all the guards are basically prostration, and they can't recover in four or five days." His subordinates have ordered these guards to be transferred to the courtyard outside the city to recuperate. ”

King Qin nodded, and when he returned to King Qin's mansion, King Qin noticed that the guards' houses in the outer courtyard had been vacated, and the outer courtyard had also been carefully sprinkled and swept, and the smell was much lighter.

"How many guards are there in the palace that can be used?" King Qin asked again.

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "There was no poisoning in the palace last night, plus the guards who were urgently transferred back from outside today, there are more than three hundred people in total. ”

And three hundred! King Qin was immediately relieved. Immediately, his face turned pale, he glanced at the palace steward in the house, and shouted through gritted teeth: "That's good! Summoning all the active guards, this king has decided to do a big thing! ”

The housekeeper and the palace chief Shi and other people in charge listened to the words of Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and couldn't help but perk up, and looked at the king of Qin with anticipation. The housekeeper speculated excitedly in his heart: The northwest has been in turmoil for a long time, and the people's army is everywhere, so it is a good time to take advantage of the situation to do big things. Could it be that our prince is a real person who does not show his face, and he does not show his face, and he also has to learn from the Yan King of the year, and come to Jingkang for the second time?

The housekeeper was excited! The eyes that looked at King Qin were very eager.

However, King Qin's next sentence immediately extinguished all the illusions of the palace steward.

"This king has decided: enter Beijing to sue the royal court!!"

King Qin said.

In the shocked eyes of a group of cronies, Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, said his plan to enter Beijing: the palace steward would transport the cash silver from the property in the name of the Qin palace out of the city before dark, transfer it to other locations outside Chang'an City for storage, and then transfer it out in batches. The rest of the palace, including the princess, the prince, the county lord and others, were escorted out of the city by the palace governor Shi E and a hundred guards after dark, all the way south, to Nanjing to live temporarily. As for Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, he took the remaining two hundred guards and entered Beijing overnight!

Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, has always been cautious, he pondered about Xu Liang for a long time, and then came to a depressing conclusion: if he stayed in Chang'an City any longer, there was a chance that the king of Qin would follow in the footsteps of Qian Yongtai and others. And if according to Xu Liang's intentions, the palace guards were disbanded, with Xu Liang's changeability, it was difficult to guarantee that this ruthless governor would not break his word.

When King Qin had three thousand guards, he could make people give an overdose of catharsis under his nose, so when the palace guards were disbanded, the palace would have no ability to protect itself. King Qin is not stupid, he still has this understanding.

After thinking about it, the only way to go to Beijing to file a complaint is more reliable. Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, thought in his heart, this situation, if he can sue it, he will stay in the capital if he can't move, and when Xu Liang will step down, the prince will return to Xi'an Mansion and then become the prince!
