Chapter 57: Capture

Empress Dowager Xu said: "Yes." When the first king found out, it was already a boat, although the first king hated Dai Yun for being bold and reckless, but he was afraid of offending the Central Plains court, so he had to hide the matter. If Dai Shengrong heard that something had happened to the Dai family, he would definitely do his best to rescue him, and if the Emperor of the Central Plains interceded for the Dai family, things would become very tricky. So Xie Aiqing, you will be in charge of Dai Yun tomorrow, and you must do it neatly and neatly, leaving no trouble. ”

Empress Dowager Xu put the stress of the last sentence on the last two words "aftermath", and her intention to cut the grass and eradicate the roots could not be more obvious.

Xie Xiangcun said solemnly: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, Weichen will not disgrace his mission." ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "After the Dai family is destroyed, Dai Shengrong will definitely slander the saint in the Central Plains Palace." We will choose beautiful women to pay tribute to the emperor of the Central Plains and please him, so as to ensure that the relationship between Wu Yueguo and the Central Plains court will not be damaged. Yao Yan's true identity, please keep it a secret. ”

Empress Dowager Xu, Qian Hongzuo, and Xie Xiangcun carefully planned the details of eliminating Dai Yun tomorrow, and Zhen Jinshu was terrified when he heard it on the side.

After the plan was completed, Qian Hongzuo asked: "Queen Mother, after this matter is completed, how do you reward Xie Aiqing?" ”

Empress Dowager Xu asked rhetorically: "What position does the Holy Lord want Xie Aiqing to hold?" ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "The lonely king is temporarily the head of the household department, and he originally wanted to leave this position to Xie Aiqing. ”

Empress Dowager Xu shook her head and said: "If you really want Tuntian to be effective, the household department can only play a contributing role, and the head of the military department is the key." ”

Xie Xiangcun excused himself and said: "Weichen is young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, so it's better to ......."

Empress Dowager Xu interrupted: "The military department is all Dai Yun's dead party, and it needs to be completely eliminated, and in this dynasty, Xie Aiqing is the only suitable candidate." ”

Qian Hongzuo also persuaded: "Aiqing, don't shirk." ”

Xie Xiangcun bowed down and said: "Wechen will do his best to live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord." ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "Aiqing, wait a minute, the mourning family will draft it immediately, and the holy decree of killing Dai Yun tomorrow." ”

After a while, Qian Hongzuo drafted the holy decree that Wen Minghui was reappointed as the commander of the border army, and after the holy decree drafted by the Empress Dowager Xu to kill Dai Yun was drafted, she handed it to Qian Hongzuo first, and Qian Hongzuo's face was solemn when he saw it. Wordlessly handed it to Xie Xiangcun, Xie Xiangcun looked at it, kicked the holy decree into his arms, and then said: "There are many things to arrange, and Weichen will retire first." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Aiqing has been running around for many days, and the lonely king really can't bear to let you ...... again." ”

Empress Dowager Xu interrupted: "Like a princess, you cover Xie Aiqing out of the palace, don't leak the news." ”

Zhen Jinshu and Xie Xiangcun bowed and retired.

Seeing the two leaving, Qian Hongzuo was still distressed about Xie Xiangcun, and said to the Empress Dowager Xu: "Queen Mother, Xie Aiqing's face is haggard, obviously hurting her body by rushing day and night. Why do you want him to do tomorrow? Dai Yun is already a paper tiger, why use a knife to kill chickens? The masters in the forbidden army are like clouds, and Dai Yun will not escape death. ”

Empress Dowager Xu said: "Holy Lord, you will know in the future that the same holy decree will be completed by Xie Xiangcun and completed by someone else, and the result will be very different." ”

Qian Hongzuo didn't fully understand Empress Dowager Xu's words, and secretly pondered.

There was no court meeting the next day, and after Qi Chongwu, the head of the Criminal Department, got up, he ate breakfast with a favored concubine unhurriedly. Suddenly, a palace attendant came to the gate of the palace and passed him into the palace to see the queen mother and the saint. Qi Chongwu was taken aback, and while pondering whether there had been any mistakes in the Criminal Department recently, he changed his official uniform and followed the chamberlain out of the house.

Qi Chongwu is a distant relative of Dai Yun, and because of Dai Yun's support, he is able to follow Dai Yun with all his heart.

When Qian Hongzuo was just in power, some courtiers impeached Dai Yun, but before the impeachment chapter reached the hands of Empress Dowager Xu, it was detained by Dai Yun's internal response in the palace. Qi Chongwu took advantage of his power and quickly caught the man's mistake and tortured him in prison.

In the case that the courtiers were assassinated by the Yaksha Gate for many years, the criminal department in charge of Qi Chongwu has not been able to catch the murderer. Empress Dowager Xu once blamed him in the court, but because he was Dai Yun's cronies, under Dai Yun's protection, he still sat firmly in the position of the head of the Criminal Department. He is often complacent about being a handsome party, not a posterior. If it is a post-party, not only will he be an official, but he may not even be able to save his life. And loyal to Dai Yun, although he was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Xu in front of the Manchu Dynasty, there was no actual loss after all. Now that he heard that Empress Dowager Xu was going to summon him, Qi Chongwu felt that he was very likely to be scolded again, and he was a little uneasy.

At the same time that Qi Chongwu was summoned by the inner servants, outside Dai Yun's marshal's mansion, a team of all dressed in red, carrying many big red wedding boxes, came to the gate of the mansion in a mighty manner, led by the head of the inner court, the head of Shang.

The porter hurriedly entered the inner house and reported to Dai Yuntong: "Marshal Qiyu, Empress Dowager Xu sent the chief of the inner court to give our marshal's mansion a dowry." also said that he would canonize the male of the Dai family as the Hou Ye, and even Young Master Sun had a share. Let you take the ladies and sons to the front of the house to receive the order. ”

Dai Yun said: "You go and inform Madame to take the young master and young master Sun to prepare to receive the order, and I will take the guards to meet the chief merchant first." ”

Surrounded by the guards, Dai Yun came to the front of the mansion, only to see the chief merchant wearing a chamberlain dress, standing outside the door with joy, and there were dozens of chamberlains carrying red boxes or holding items around him.

The head of Shang bent down to Dai Yun and flattered: "Congratulations to the marshal, because the wedding of the saint and Miss Dai is imminent, the queen mother has a special order to send a dowry to the house." In addition, the Queen Mother issued a decree to crown the Young Master of Daifu and Young Master Sun as the first marquis. ”

The so-called "first marquis" is a marquis title that only adds to himself, but cannot be hereditary.

Dai Yun said: "There is a labor and business manager who comes to the house in person, please come in, please come in." ”

After that, he motioned to the doorman to open the door of the mansion and let the chief merchant enter with the team of dowry gifts. The chief merchant walked into the mansion with the attendants who carried the dowry on their shoulders or in their hands. At this time, Dai Yun's wife had not yet led all the sons and Young Master Sun to arrive.

Dai Yun has a good relationship with the original wife, and the two gave birth to Dai Feng's son and three daughters, of which only the hoopoe man has not yet married. After Dai Yun's original wife died, Mrs. Filling House and other concubines gave birth to four more sons for Dai Yun, but they were only in their teens, and they had not yet started a family and were raised in the house. The so-called Young Master Sun is Dai Feng, that is, the son of Qian Hongyu, and Dai Yun deliberately asked him to follow his father's surname Qian, not Dai. He was only seven years old and lived in Dai Mansion with his daughter-in-law.

Seeing that no one had arrived, the chief merchant was not in a hurry, so he asked the chamberlain to bring boxes of jewels for Dai Yun to see. The Qian royal family is simple, and today's dowry is just some Taihu pearls and the like, which are rich in Wu Yue's own jewelry, which is not uncommon for Dai Yun, who is rich and rival the country, but fortunately, there are quite a lot of them.

After only a while, Mrs. Dai led all the sons and Young Master Sun to arrive in full costume. Dai Yun's other concubines, because they heard that their son was going to be a marquis, also came over and prepared to watch the ceremony.

The incense table had already been laid out, and incense was burned, and the holy decree was hung on the shelf of the incense table.

Dai Yun stood with his children and grandchildren facing the incense case, and his personal guards could only retreat to the surroundings, while the attendants who carried the gift box and held the dowry stood in a circle around the incense case, separating the guards of Dai's mansion from the periphery.

Shang Zongguan: "Please Marshal Dai and all the sons bow to the Holy Grace." ”

Dai Yun's descendants immediately knelt down and kowtowed, Dai Yun enjoyed the dignity of Uncle Wang because his son was the adopted son of the lord of the country, but he just bowed and saluted, and he didn't have to bow down. At the moment when Dai Yun bowed his head, a sword pressed horizontally against his neck. The person with the sword was Xie Xiangcun, who was pretending to be an attendant, but he was disguised today as if he were two people on weekdays. His face was dark, his face was painted with a lot of pockmarks, and the hat on his head hung low, covering most of his face.

At the same time as Xie Xiangcun, many masters of the forbidden army who originally acted as porters had already pulled out the dagger they were carrying and pressed Dai Yun's descendants under the dagger.
