Chapter 56: Surprise

Returning to his camp, Ju Buyi was still panting heavily, and said to those Dai Feng who were chasing him in: "This Lord Qincha is real, fortunately, I am alert enough, and he finally didn't notice anything abnormal." Hurry up and find a person who looks like the fake Qincha last night and kill him, take off the head and show it to the public, and say that we have killed the jade-faced Shura of the Yaksha Gate and avenged His Highness. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to other generals. It turned out that His Royal Highness was assassinated by the Tang State, and we fell for the secret envoy of the Tang State. ”

Dai Feng personally followed the leader and said, "I'll take someone with me." ”

Ju Buyi said: "You must send someone to guard the body of Your Highness, and no one is allowed to approach." The news of His Royal Highness's death must not be spread outside, once the Tang Kingdom learns that the war will break out, we will all become the sinners of Wu Yueguo. ”

All the relatives went away with the commandment.

But the more than a dozen dead soldiers who personally protected Dai Feng still hugged the house and refused to leave.

After all, this kind of secret collusion with Tang Guo is not known to ordinary relatives, but the dead man who closely protects Dai Feng knows it clearly. It's okay to hide it from others, how can you hide it from them. Now there are only twelve dead people left around Dai Feng, and the other four were all killed last night.

Waiting for the people in the house, they were almost gone, and a leader of the dead soldiers said to Ju Buji: "We are not border soldiers, but dead soldiers of Dai Mansion, responsible for protecting His Highness, and now His Highness has been killed, what should we do?" Do you want to show us a way to live? ”

Ju Buyi pretended to be pitiful and said: "I have heard a little about the methods of executing the dead soldiers in Dai Mansion, and now that His Royal Highness has been killed, you will not escape the doom of being hunted down and killed by Dai Mansion." ”

The dead were silent.

As if he had made a great determination, he said, "In this way, don't leave the border army, and follow me in the future." Now that Dai Feng is dead, the so-called people are in human affection, and now that everyone is dead, what else is there to be loyal or not? No matter how ruthless the Dai family is, they don't dare to come to the border barracks to kill people. As long as you follow me, listen to my orders, and I will ensure that everyone is thorough. When things calm down, I will change your name and surname, and officially integrate into the border army, with your martial arts, are you still afraid that there will be no future? But from now on, don't mention being a dead soldier for the Dai family. If you encounter something that has something to do with the late Highness, you should avoid it from afar, and start from the beginning. ”

All the dead soldiers knelt down in unison and said: "Thank you for the blessing of the deputy envoy, we will definitely follow you to the death and repay your great kindness." ”

In the Huizheng Palace, Qian Hongzuo was reviewing the recital under the guidance of the Empress Dowager Xu, and in the face of countless nonsense and false words, Qian Hongzuo was not only absent-minded, but also wanted to cry without tears. Many of the pieces were half-watched, and then they were thrown aside and didn't want to read them again. Empress Dowager Xu knew that Qian Hongzuo was in a bad mood, and seeing that he was bad, it was inconvenient to investigate deeply. At this time, an attendant entered the palace and reported: "Qiyu Queen Mother, Qiyu Shengshang, such as a princess said that there is something important to see." ”

Because the Huizheng Palace is an important place, even if Zhen Jinshu is a princess, it stands to reason that he can't come here to ask to see him, and the Empress Dowager Xu sighed slightly, and then said: "Please come in, princess." ”

Zhen Jinshu and a little maid walked into the hall, Zhen Jinshu was just about to meet him, when he suddenly heard a snap, and the fold fell from Qian Hongzuo's hand, and then Qian Hongzuo jumped out from behind the bookcase, flew to the little maid, and in the stunned eyes of the palace attendants and palace maids, he picked up the little maid by the waist and spun like crazy. Many days of worry and fear were swept away at this moment, and only laughter remained.

After Empress Dowager Xu was stunned for a moment, she recognized that the little maid was Xie Xiangcun, and she also smiled, and said to the chamberlain and palace maid in the palace: "If a princess has something important to report, you will wait outside the palace." ”

When the chamberlains and palace maids in the hall retreated one after another, I saw that Qian Hongzuo was still hugging the little maid and laughing, Qian Hongzuo was not a woman, and everyone had never seen him so gaffe, although the little maid was quite beautiful.

After everyone retreated, Empress Dowager Xu said, "You two, have you laughed enough?" ”

Qian Hongzuo stopped hugging at this time, carefully looked at Xie Xiangcun, who was pretending to be the little maid of Zhen's Mansion, and sighed: "Aiqing, you came back unscathed!" ”

Xie Xiangcun reached into his arms, took off the talisman around his neck, and held it to Qian Hongzuo and said: "Relying on the Holy Hongfu, Weichen was able to complete the mission." The saint asked me to return this talisman to you with my own hands, and Wechen came to restore his life. ”

Qian Hongzuo took the talisman and immediately put it around his neck, lest he lose it.

Zhen Jinshu and Xie Xiangcun officially gave the salute at this time, and knelt down and said: "Meet the Queen Mother and the Holy One." Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. ”

Empress Dowager Xu said, "Please take a seat." ”

Because there were many chamberlains and palace maids in the house who originally followed Qian Hongzuo and Empress Dowager Xu to review the folds, among which people with higher grades could sit and work, so there were quite a lot of seats in the house, Zhen Jinshu sat next to Empress Dowager Xu nearby, and Xie Xiangcun sat next to Qian Hongzuo nearby.

Qian Hongzuo wondered: "Xie Aiqing, why do you want to pretend to be a maid of the Zhen Mansion?" ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "Weichen secretly returned to the court, and he was caught off guard if he wanted to kill Dai Yun. Only Princess Ruyi knows who her little maid Xiang'er is, and she can directly ask to see the Queen Mother and you. As soon as I asked to see the princess outside the palace, she immediately understood and let me into the palace. ”

Xie Xiangcun winked at Zhen Jinshu, and Zhen Jinshu smiled. Her worries for many days turned into ecstasy the moment she heard that the little maid Xiang'er of the Zhen Mansion asked to see her just now.

Empress Dowager Xu and Qian Hongzuo looked at the expressions of the two, and they both saw that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to ask, Xie Xiangcun had already explained in detail the assassination of Dai Feng and the temporary pacification of the border army.

Empress Dowager Xu praised: "Very well done. ”

Xie Xiang Cunqian said: "Thanks to the response of Youju Unmoving, Li Jishen, Hu Jinsi and others, this assassination will be so well deployed. ”

Empress Dowager Xu admired Xie Xiangcun's unmeritorious bosom, and said: "You and them, the mourning family will be rewarded heavily." ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "Wait a while, you quietly sneak back to the Yamen, the commander of the forbidden army, and tell Wen Minghui to set off immediately and go to the border army to replace Dai Feng and serve as the commander of the border army." When he passed through Dongfu, he took all the soldiers and horses of Dongfu to reinforce the border army to prevent the invasion of the Tang Kingdom. ”

Qian Hongzuo asked: "In the opinion of the queen mother, will the Tang Kingdom still invade our country?" ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "The possibility has been reduced to the minimum, but we still have to take more precautions." In addition, there are many Dai Feng's henchmen in the border army, even if he cooperates with Wen Minghui, it is better to bring some soldiers and horses. The forbidden army garrisoned Wangcheng, which was difficult to mobilize, Wen Minghui was originally the commander of the Dongfu, and most of the troops in the Dongfu army were his old subordinates, and even the current commanders were recommended by him before he was promoted. Therefore, it is most suitable for the Dongfu garrison to follow Wen Minghui to the border army to take office. Wen Minghui is not only brave in battle, he is a famous general in my country, and he is the best at winning people's hearts, I believe that he will be able to calm down the disaster left by Dai Feng. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Erchen, this is the draft decree. ”

Empress Dowager Xu nodded, and said to Xie Xiangcun: "Not only the border army, but also among the soldiers and horses in other states, there are also Dai Yun's cronies who hold important positions. Once Dai Yun learns of Dai Feng's death, he will flee immediately, and gather his cronies to raise troops, and it will be extremely difficult to arrest him at that time, and he doesn't know how many people will be killed or injured. Before the news came, Xie Aiqing, you have full authority to kill Dai Yun tomorrow. ”

Xie Xiangcun stood up and complied.

Empress Dowager Xu said again: "There is an old story, I want to tell Xie Aiqing, there are very few people who know about this matter. ”

Xie Xiangcun knew that the Empress Dowager Xu was talking about the past at this moment, and he must have a deep meaning, and said solemnly: "The Empress Dowager, please tell me." ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "When the first king was alive, Wu Yue produced a famous beauty named Yao Yan, who is said to have surpassed the ancient beauty Xi Shi. When the emperor of the Central Plains heard about it, he asked the former king for it. The first king dedicated her to the emperor of the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that the person who actually entered the palace was not Yao Yan, but Dai Yun's eldest daughter Dai Shengrong. In order to establish his own power in the Central Plains Imperial Court, Dai Yun actually killed Yao Yan in the middle of the way, and married into the Central Plains Palace under the name of his daughter. ”

Qian Hongzuo was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that among the concubines of the Central Plains Emperor, there is Dai Yun's daughter?" ”
