Chapter 082: Aftermath Waves
The three young men of the Tang family pointed out the country, but it was quiet in the study of Xue Fu, the chief helmsman of the Bianhe Gang......
In the past, a small subordinate of the Ding family in Bazhou, Zhen Zhu'er, is now the helmsman of more than 40,000 heroes and heroes who rely on water to eat on the Bianhe River, above the other three major gangs, with a high position and a god-like temperament that is very different from that year.
His good brother Yang Hao, who grew up together, knows everything he has done and all his experiences over the years. Haozi went to Hexi and worshiped the generalissimo of Longyou in Hexi; Haozi defeated Li Guangrui and took over the five states of Dingyan; Haozi went west to Yumen, and the Han people, who had been lost for more than 200 years, regained ...... and knew everything.
After Haozi soared to the top, he never looked for him, whether it was when he was still a nominal courtier of the Song State, or after he established himself as the emperor, he never asked anyone to point out a letter to him, but he never complained in his heart. Brothers who grew up together, brothers who depend on each other, brothers who live and die together, he understands Yang Hao as he understands himself.
He knew that the only reason his brother didn't come to him was because he had a life of his own, and he already had a home, and his home was in Bianliang, on the Bianhe River, which provided food and clothing for millions of people in Tokyo. He has a father-in-law and mother-in-law, a wife, and now a father, and the helmsman of the Bianhe Gang. His home is here, his career is here!
And his brother has become the enemy of the official family, so he doesn't get in touch with him, he is afraid that he will expose the identity between the two and bring any disadvantages to himself. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, unless it is compelled to do so, he will never come to him during the period of hostility in the imperial court.
Playing with the boxwood in his hand, caressing the warm wood, he could feel that Haozi had been carrying the knife on his body back then, and he often played with it, so Xue Liang's eyes couldn't help but become warm.
At the beginning, that honest and honest young man, after several years of tempering, his every move and even a look was already quite majestic, and he could feed the Bianhe Gang into several brothers, make friends with the powerful of the official government, and intrigue with the leaders of other gangs. Only in front of his brother can he completely remove his disguise and restore himself to the pig he was back then.
"He sold me this sword. He said, don't bother you until the last step. Now, the road ahead is dead, although I have successfully returned to Kaifeng, but one rì two rì is okay, when it is a little longer, the deeds will inevitably be exposed, I can only turn to Brother Xue for help, scorn us, or transport us out. However, there is something I want to say in my head, this girl is Princess Yongqing, "Why do you want to tell me her identity?" Wouldn't it be better for you to find a reason?
"That's what he gave me. Brother Xue has a family and a business, and once he helps, he will take the risk of destroying his family, so he told me that he must not hide anything from Brother Xue, and if Brother Xue can't do anything, I can fully understand, and we will leave immediately. Xue Liang let out a long breath, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes gently.
There was a faint aroma wafting from the nose, and a wattle was gently placed on his shoulder. Xue Liang held the warm hand and rubbed it gently.
"Daliang."
"Sleeve, I'm sorry."
"Two couples, what's there to be sorry for?"
Xue Liang turned things slightly, wrapped his sleeves around his slender waist, and sat meekly on his lap.
"I'm not alone now, I have you and children. I helped my brother and dragged you and the child into danger......"
Sleeve laughed softly, and wrapped his arms around his neck gently: "But if you don't help him, you are not a good man who stands up to the sky, you are my husband, who doesn't want her husband to be a good man who can stand up straight and be a man after him?" "Sleeves one by one, one by one" "Besides, if you don't help him, you must be uneasy in your heart, and you will not be happy for the rest of your life, I don't like to see you lose your smile." "Sleeves!" Xue Liang hugged her tightly with emotion.
Zhang Huaisleeve gently stroked his head, as if holding his own child, and said: "The ship, I have already ordered someone to prepare, it is the ship that transports the most stable and secret goods." The river yamen has also sent someone to deal with it...... "This time, it is not the goods that are smuggled and carried, but the princess, the matter is too important, I should personally go to the yamen to take care of the ......"
"Fool, that's why you can't go. Nowadays, the entire city of Tokyo is full of soldiers, and no official dares to bend the law for personal gain, and once you come forward in person, it will attract more attention...... It's an ordinary outing, but it's easier to pass. “。 &, I'm reckless, or the lady is thoughtful. ”
"There are a total of 160 boats out together, and I have deliberately put some valuable goods under the bilge of the Tianhai carrying smuggled goods, so that once it is found out, it will be safer. The princess and the orime are hidden on it, and I will personally take them on board, and nothing will go wrong. ”
Under the bilge of the cargo ship, another layer of dark cabins is built to carry private goods, which many experienced inspection officers in Kaifeng Mansion and River Yamen know, but whether they can find out or not will have their own magical powers, but there is another mechanism in the dark cabin on the West Tianhai, between the dark cabin and the upper deck, using the visual difference formed inside the body, there is a layer of sandwich wall that can be used to kill people, once someone shows the dark cabin, he will only notice the goods in the dark cabin, and when he goes down to the cabin to check or carry the goods, he will never think that it is above his head, in the narrow layer of walls, there is actually another world.
This kind of design is a method of carrying that the Bianhe Gang has studied with the government for a long time, and it is a secret, and it is only occasionally used when transporting priceless treasures or having great friendship with the Bianhe Gang, but it is occasionally used when Bianliang has committed a murder in the three mountains and five mountains, so it is the safest.
"Good lady, Daliang has a wife like you, really, really" "What a fart! Sleeve glared at him coquettishly, and the jade finger pinched his eyebrows: "You men, you are so moved that you are happy to die at this time." Hmph, it's not you when you look back, you say, I usually look at Lao Jia's sister Feng Bao'er, did you already plan to accept her as a concubine? "How can I have, am I not satisfied with a good lady like you, how can I ...... half-heartedly" "Come less." Hurry up and get ready, the sooner you go, the better, I'll pack up and take the kids on the road with you. "Huh? You go too?
"Pig brains! You have to help your brother, I support you, but you can't really put your old children in danger, right? It's a shame that my father and mother are not in Bianliang now, I will go with you, and then take the second master, all 160 boats will go out, and let the second master take the Cao transport boat south, let's go across the ocean together, if everything is stable, it is not too late to come back, there is really an accident, and I will fly away directly. "Lady's clever plan, if there is a good wife, it is really ...... to be a husband" "Don't pat yourself!" Let me see you hooking up with Feng Bao'er again, and the old lady will raise the knife and castrate your roots! ”
On the surface, Zhao Wuzuo's injuries are not as serious as his father's, but his father is injured, but he has injured his lungs, and this injury can only be slowly adjusted. But when he heard the news of Song Niangniang and the imperial brother Defang, he immediately jumped up from the hospital bed, and when he saw the corpse of the imperial brother Defang burned to the point that it was almost unrecognizable, he was even more saddened, and he never went to see the bodies of Song Niangniang and Princess Yongqing again. Defang is a man anyway, and the mother and daughter are both beauties of the country, if they are also burned into the appearance of Defang, this nightmare will never go away.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the introduction of Zhen Chuge, the commander of the Imperial City Division, "Zhao Yuanzuo was like five thunderbolts for a while. What's going on? All this, is it really the emperor's uncle Zhao Guangmei who did it? Flesh and blood relatives, why do you want to kill each other like this, why?
This time, he didn't doubt his father, because at that time, his father was almost killed, he saw it with his own eyes, even himself, he almost died, and no one would use such a bitter trick if he inserted it. Since he is not a father, then who can he be? Kill the emperor and the prince, and take away Song Niangniang, the princess, and the prince after defeat? Except for Uncle Huang, who has such a full reason?
He really didn't want to believe that this was the idea of the imperial uncle who was his best friend, but there was really no second person who had this full reason except for the imperial uncle. The concept of justice and family ethics that Zhao Yuanzuo has adhered to since he was a child completely collapsed. Why? Dezhao hinted that it was my father who killed the first emperor, my father killed my uncle, and now my uncle is going to kill my father again, why is this throne so important? For its sake, flesh and blood relatives are so cannibalistic?
On this day, at the gate of the prison, a small sedan chair suddenly turned, and the side of the sedan car followed by four small yellow doors, holding the dust, and looking proud. Chu Yunxiu Chu Zhusi, who guarded the prison, saw this style, knew that it was a person from the palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to see, he thought that it was a big eunuch in the palace who came to pass the will, and he didn't want to lift the sedan curtain, and what came out was Zhao Yuanzuo, the crown prince of the dynasty.
The crown prince was wearing a collared robe embroidered with gold trim, and his head was tied with a black silk scarf, but his cheeks were strangely pale.
Chu Yunxiu hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, and I miss the welcome, forgive my sins, forgive my sins." I don't know if the prince has come to the prison today, but what do you have to tell Huichen? ”
The prince's eyes were a little fluttering, and he waved his hand and said, "Lonely, I want to see that assassin." I will ask him if he was instructed to do so! I'm going to have to hear him say with my own mouth, you get out of the way. ”
Chu Yunxiu was taken aback when she heard this, and she didn't dare to move when she blocked the door, so she only bowed and said; "Prince, please forgive Weichen for being rude. The state has national laws, and although the status of the prince is respected, he is the prince of the country, and now he is neither the Son of Heaven, nor does he have a position in the court, and he has no right to intervene in the affairs of the court. The prince was furious and shouted, "You dare to stop Gu? "The minister doesn't dare, the duty of this minister is precisely because the world respects the law of the country and respects the prince, so he will never dare to follow the law to flatter the prince, please let the prince know."
The prince insisted on going to the prison, but Chu Yunxiu resolutely refused to allow it, and he searched for a long time, until Zhen Chuge, the secretary of the imperial city, and Ouchi knew that Gu Ruoli and others had rushed to the palace when they heard the news, so they forcibly invited the prince back to the palace.
When Zhao Guangyi heard the news, he scolded Chu Yunxiu Jiawei, but he did not blame the prince again, only asked the people around him to take good care of the prince, Yuan Zuo no longer quarreled to go to the prison, but his injuries were more serious. The heart disease does not go away, the medicine stone is difficult to treat, and the wound of the heart and intestines has become an incurable scabies. Drinking the medicinal soup that is as bitter as Huang Lian, his heart is more bitter than Huang Lian, he no longer goes to his father to make noise and scold, but it makes Zhao Guangyi more worried than before, this child is in a trance, and anyone who looks at it is worried.
There is one more person who is worried at this moment, and that is Lu Duoxun, who is Pingzhangshi. Zhao Pu was also a wasted minister, but his official position was suddenly demoted to seventeen or eighteen levels, and he rushed to Sichuan to cultivate himself. Compared to Ludoson, he was used to the ups and downs. But Lu Duoxun didn't make it, yesterday he was still above 10,000 people under one person, and he was the prime minister of the dynasty high up, but now he is a phoenix with wings, and he was suddenly driven to Tiannan and became Sima of Yazhou.
When I arrived in Yazhou, it was the end of the world. At that time, Guangdong Qiongya was barren, even the local aborigines were not much, the dignified prime minister, from calling for wind and rain, a hundred calls, to now withering, embarrassed by the world, huge psychological gap, making people unbearable. Lu Duosun himself also knew that the emperor was cleaning the court by doing this, and he was definitely not ranked among the people that the emperor was afraid of, but he was the prime minister, and only by taking him under the knife could he logically take down others and reduce the resistance to the purge, maybe in a few years, he would have a chance to return to the court.
But how many years can there be in life? He is old, and if he waits too long, I am afraid that he will really die of old age. Besides, he is not the only capable person in the world, but he is lucky and ascended to the phase, so he is famous all over the world. There are as many talents as possible in the grass, the emperor wants to use people, and talents can be found at any time, even if he returns to Beijing, whether he can have the honor of today is between the two, he only hopes to end this situation as soon as possible, so as soon as he arrived in Yazhou, he exhausted his mind and chewed a letter of "Thanksgiving Table".
Thunder and clouds are all Jun's grace. Whether it is rewarding you or punishing you, you have to thank the emperor, and the last "Thanksgiving Table" is the truth for the ministers. Besides, if you write a thanksgiving table, if the saint's heart softens, and it is unknown if he is transferred to a place that is closer and has a better environment, even if he will not be transferred to leave for a while, he can also add some impression points, and the saint still has him in his heart, and he will have the opportunity to see the sky again one day earlier.
There is a sentence in his "Thanksgiving Table": "The meteor is far away, and the arch North Pole E1 can't help it; The sea is hanging in the air, looking at Chang'an and not seeing. Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" has "Look back at the world, don't see Chang'an and see the dust and fog" Tang poems with Chang'an poems abound, Lu Duoxun consciously uses the word Chang'an here, both with the previous sentence neatly and rhymed, the ancients in the poems originally had a husband to Yu Jun, to women to Yu Chen's analogy, so here is also in line with the artistic conception of "Long Hate Song", I am like Yang Yuhuan in Huangquan misses Tang Xuanzong miss Your Majesty.
Unexpectedly, the word Chang'an aroused Zhao Guangyi's jealousy. Now that Zhao Guangmei is in Chang'an, I don't know if Luo Kedi, who received the secret decree, has succeeded, your old boy is still looking at Chang'an and not seeing, who do you want? As a result, this "Thanksgiving Table" sank into the sea, and there was no follow-up. Lu Duoxun didn't even receive a reply to comfort him, and he couldn't figure out the intentions of the official family for a while, so he had to settle down in Tiannan with all his heart.
The imperial court announced the death of Song Niangniang, King Qi and Princess Yongqing, and also directly announced the escalation of the charges against King Qi, which is now enough to impose the death penalty - everyone knows that once he returns to Bianliang, he will definitely die.
But Cui Dalang didn't know, he didn't know, but he knew too late, because he had already arranged a killer when he revealed Zhao Guangmei's ill-intentioned actions to the imperial court, once the imperial court took Zhao Guangmei, kill!
This bad battle naturally has to be carried by Zhao Guangyi.
Zhao Guangyi also did not have the idea of killing Zhao Guangmei on the way back to Beijing, a dead tiger is much safer than a tiger that has been imprisoned, and once he grasps the opportunity, he can still sit in the Dragon Court and remove the obstacles to the hereditary throne of his descendants, of course, the safest way is to remove all threats as soon as possible.
However, at this time, there was a murder and conspiracy case, and he made a decision on the spot and arranged it on Zhao Guangmei's head.
Unexpectedly, the killer who had already been instructed by Cui Dalang had already started at this time, and before the will of the imperial court reached Chang'an, Zhao Guangmei, who was under house arrest by Luo Kedi, was killed in his sleep, making Zhao Guangyi disgusting enough.
obviously had the opportunity to execute him in a grand manner, but it turned out to be a bizarre assassination, and people with a heart can naturally use it to make a big deal of it, and it was not arranged for him, it could have been "justified", but this time it was full of suspicions, and Zhao Guangyi could not hate.
At this time, Zhen Chuge had already reported to Zhao Guangyi the information that the Zheng family had secretly paid to support Zhao Guangmei, so although Zhao Guangyi announced the death of Song Niangniang's mother and son, and also learned of the death of Qi Wang Guangmei, the intensity of the search for the whole day was not only not relaxed, but it was getting bigger and bigger, how could he tolerate the existence of such a force?
This is true in the open, and it is also true in the dark. He didn't see Yongtai's body, although the boat was on the river, there may not be no possibility of falling into the water with an arrow and drowning in the water, but since he didn't see the body dead, he had to continue to look for it! Therefore, the government offices in various parts of the Ming Dynasty searched for the Zheng family's rebellion in a hurry, secretly sent out secret spies in the imperial city, and continued to investigate the news of Princess Yongqing, and the entire Great Song Dynasty was surging.
The exposed forces of the Zheng family were uprooted by the imperial court overnight, but such a hidden hidden hidden force, unless they caught their core members and were willing to confess the truth, they would not want to uproot it, even if the people of the Zheng family were right under your nose, just above your court, you couldn't see it, you couldn't kill all the people surnamed Hao in the whole world, right?
Therefore, although the Zheng family's vitality was greatly damaged, it did not hurt the roots, and in the eyes of the Zheng family, the jǐng lawsuit that Cui Dalang had received was clearly a threat. This is clearly Cui Dalang saw that the people of the Qianzong did not listen to the dispatch, and wanted to use the power of the Song Dynasty to cut off their wings, and the hatred was concentrated on the head of the Cui family, who was extremely wronged, and the two major forces began to fight openly and secretly......
On a June day, the wind rose from the south. It is advisable to sail away with the wind and report to the east. On the magnificent sea, white as clouds, more than 20 large ships are puffing up their sails and heading towards the main island. The sea is crossing, and the clouds are flying!
Dressed in a dark robe, Yu Ziyu stood at the bow of the boat, facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, listening to the chirping of seagulls, looking back and smiling: "I heard that when Ma Wei mutinied, Yang Guifei did not die, but crossed to the east, I don't know if it is true, and now His Royal Highness is the real Central Plains royal family."
Yongqing still doesn't know the whereabouts of the queen mother and the emperor's brother, and his interest is really not high, but he just reluctantly smiled: "How is it possible, in front of the Ten Thousand Horse Army, how can it be fake?" ”
Excerpt Ziyu said: "Yang Yuhuan has a noble status, who dares to examine the corpse to insult the emperor after he is forced to die?" In history, when the soldiers of the three armies heard that the concubine was dead, they cheered, and the rebel general Chen Xuanli looked at the palace tent without armor and worshipped, and from beginning to end, he did not look at the conjoined body. When An Lushan rebelled, Xuanzong fled in a hurry, and several Tang envoys also fled from Chang'an with him, it is said that Yang Guifei was rescued by Gao Lishi, Chen Wuli, and Xie Aman, and entrusted to send Tang envoys Fujiwara Shuxiong and Apei Zhongma Lu Dongdu Rìben. Although this matter has not been spread to the world, it is still known to some people, Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" said that "Ma Wei slope under the soil" does not see Yuyan empty death." "Suddenly ask that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the ethereal space" is an allusion to this matter. Yongqing's small mouth pouted slightly: "In the end, it is chiseled and attached, and it is ethereal." ”
Excerpt Ziyu said: "Maybe, but Yang Yuhuan is usually generous, and has a deep friendship with Gao Lishi, Chen Yuanli, etc., if he is rescued, it is possible." After Ma Wei's mutiny, when he arrived at the territory of King Bashu Shou, those who were related to the Ma Wei incident killed him if everything that fell into the hands of Li Mao, including Emperor Suzong's son King Jianning, who was a royal clansman, but Chen Yuanli was alive and sound.
If it weren't for the rescue of Yang Yuhuan, it would be difficult to resemble Li Mao, the longevity king who still loves Yang Yuhuan deeply, and killed all his cousins, but left her ......"
She paused for a moment and smiled softly, "Who knows? The rise and fall of the country's social society requires a woman to be the burden, and it is unfair to be left behind. If she did survive the death, great! ”
Yongqing~\'The Lord chewed on her words, always felt that there was a deep meaning in her words, and looked at her sideways, she was looking into the distance, and it seemed that she had no intention.
When she was in Bianliang, Zheziyu received the news that the dog sent back, she and Zhuyun went separately to the southwest to pursue, and the dog was already a step late when she found the Beiru River, and saw that the fire was only half-sunk, and the people of the Imperial City Division dragged several corpses down from the half-sunken boat, and she could only look at the river and sigh and return quietly.
Because he took Princess Yongqing with him, and the pictures of the imperial court have spread all over the world, it is difficult for Zhen Ziyu to take Princess Yongqing to move an inch, and it is even more dangerous to stay in Bianliang, and he can't abandon it, so after Zhen Ziyu got the reply, he asked the dog to find Zhuyun again, and the two immediately returned to Hexi and reported the situation here to Yang Hao, so as not to make him worry, and he took Yongqing public property and temporarily went overseas to avoid the limelight under Xue Liang's arrangement. Because she was worried that Princess Yongqing would be emotional on the way and have some accidents, so until now, she has not told Yongqing about the deaths of Song Niangniang and Zhao Defang.
Like this kind of case of chasing and threatening the imperial power, not to mention a month or two months, even if it is ten years, eight years, thirty or fifty years, it will not stop, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty and the third prince of Zhu in the early Qing Dynasty, this is the case, even if this matter is just chasing the wind and shadows, the imperial court would rather believe it, and do not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate this matter, so as to be safe. However, it is impossible for the imperial court to put jīng forces on this forever, the longer the time, the looser the investigation will be, Ziyu estimates that it will take at most half a year to return to the Central Plains, as long as he is low-key and cautious, he can return to Hexi safely.
Of course, she has a second choice, which is to take the Liao State after arriving in the Liao State and return to Hexi from the Liao State, but at the moment, the relationship between the Western Xia State and the Liao State is relatively tense, and the Liao State has a lot of spies in the Song State, and the portrait of Princess Yongqing is likely to have been transmitted to the Liao State.
The big ship stopped at the port of Sumida River, which was still deserted near Tokyo in later life, and the so-called castle was a little worse than the small castle of the Central Plains, with a few houses that looked like a few things, either the residence of lords and high-ranking samurai, or the residence of Chinese merchants.
As soon as he saw the big ship of the Central Plains coming, some barefoot and white cloth on the dock came up, suddenly surrounded the steward, nodded and negotiated the price with him, and went to unload the goods in a hurry.
Xue Liang and Zhang Huaisleeve took Zheziyu, Princess Yongqing and Zhang Shisan to take another pedal and walked up to the dock, on the dock, Mrs. Zhang stood in front, Zhang Xinglong's concubine Futian Sayuri pressed her hands on her knees, and stood behind her in a regular manner. As soon as a few people got on the dock, Mrs. Zhang greeted her excitedly: "Hurry up, let me see my good grandson, alas, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I have gained weight again, but my grandmother is hurting to death." ”
Zhang Huaisleeve looked left and right, and saw his father Zhang Xinglong, so he said in surprise: "Mother, where is my father?" ”
Mrs. Zhang couldn't put it down and hugged her grandson, teasing him while not raising her head, and said, "Your father helped Lord Fujiwara go to war, let me take you home first, and when the meal is ready, he will almost come back." Come on, come on, walk quickly, it's windy here, don't blow the children. ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't know what the characters behind her were, so she didn't look up and glance at her, "Holding her baby grandson and turning around, Zhang Huaichong was anxious when she heard it: "What, fighting?" What kind of battle is he fighting, in case there is a good ......"
Mrs. Zhang teased her grandson and said indifferently: "Hey, there are more than a hundred warriors under a lord in this place, and they are not as big as the scene of the Bianhe Gang fighting the group." Your father has one or two hundred people under his hands here, what can happen? Besides, the lord of Fujiwara has always been respectful to your father as a grandfather, and this time he personally came to the door to plead, your father eats soft and hard temper, is he embarrassed not to help? And Fujiwara said that if this gold mountain is fought for, your father will be divided into J1); 1…… r……”
"Jinshan?" Xue Liang and Sleeve were confused, but it was not a common place to chatter when the time came, so they signaled to Zheziyu and Princess Yongqing, protected the two in the middle, and followed the old lady to the city.
ps: Heaven, earth, this paragraph is finally finished. This plot is very important, but the protagonist has fewer scenes, and with the foreshadowing and turning of this story, the next chapter will return to Hexi, and the wilted little mouse will appear again.
