Section 41: A good wife and a good mother
Feng Shijin was about to go crazy tormented by the fear of the unknown, he never expected that the prince would go to the army in person, so that he could still have a good life?
The fantasy of wealth has become a soul-inducing poison, and now, he has to drink this bowl of poison, and he has disappeared, I don't know if he has escaped in the wilderness incognito, or he is tortured in the torture prison of the Hundred Horsemen, in short, the end is not very good, Feng Shi can't get in, he actually wants to go, but a lot of old mothers, wives and children in the family can go there?
Rebellion is never a small crime, if the prince rebels with them, he will have an excuse to disobey his fate if he fails, and now the prince has no intention of rebelling at all, so all the charges need to be borne by Hou Junji and those who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.
Hou Junji walked back to Beijing from the grassland with shackles to wait for the fall, Gao Shilian dismissed the servants and stayed alone in Luoyang to wait for the arrival of Tianwei, although there was no incident and did not cause any losses to Datang, but the crime of rebellion never needed any evidence, and a crime of attempting rebellion was enough to rob the family and destroy the clan.
His Majesty was near Dengzhou, and the Wuli Sima in his own army had taken over the camp, and all the events that had happened proved that the crisis was approaching step by step.
His own life was no longer in the scope of Feng Shijin's consideration, and he had recently transferred his family property, hoping that the emperor's thunderous wrath would fall on him alone.
"Master, is it really irreparable?" His wife, Liu, walked into the study with a wooden plate carrying a meal, and saw that his eyes were red, and it was obviously Feng Shijin, who had not slept all night, and asked carefully.
"The wood is already in the boat, but what, what is it!" Feng Shijin sighed. Took the wooden plate in his wife's hand and put it on the table, he and his wife are childhood sweethearts, they have known each other since childhood, they fell in love with each other as a teenager, and they have known each other unconsciously for almost 30 years, and they have two sons under their knees. A daughter is a smart and clever child, and her participation in this major event originally wanted to give the children a higher and better background, but as a result, she made people and lost the capital overnight.
"Why aren't you leaving? Wen Niang, take advantage of the darkness to go to your uncle's house to hide, in case you are caught. put all the blame on me, and said that you and the child have no idea, and I will bear the sins I have created alone. “
"Master, why are you confused, what relatives are there among the people in distress, the door of my uncle's house is closed, and no one answers the door after the concubine knocks for a long time. They were worried that they would be implicated and would not take in our mother and son. The concubine has also figured it out, I won't go there, only you and my mother are left at home, and I can't rest assured, if this level really can't be avoided, let's go to Huangquan together as a family. I won't be lonely along the way, but my three children have suffered. “
Feng Shijin listened to his wife's story in a daze, looked up at the roof, his fists clenched tightly but there was nothing to say, the trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them. This is the truth of the world, and I expect too much from my relatives.
The old mother led her three grandchildren in, and the old lady's face was as usual, and she prepared vegetables for the children, and when she saw that the three children were eating very sweetly, her eyes became more and more loving.
"Ci Wu'er, when things come to the end, you must always be responsible, you are the prince of the sixth rate, for the sake of the prince is originally your responsibility, picking up the remains of the advice is indispensable, the food of the king, naturally to be loyal to the king, the prince wants to gain greater power, you as his Zuotun Zhonglang general, will inevitably take the lead, so the fault is not you.
Now the prince does not want the Tang Dynasty to have a disaster, and he went to the front of the army with grain and grass, such a choice cannot be said to be wrong, but in this way, it will suffer you, and become a thief and a rebel, and now the catastrophe is present, a person with backbone is more admirable than a person without backbone, so my mother hopes that you can become a person with backbone, and you must not bite indiscriminately, once this precedent is opened, our family will no longer have the slightest vitality.
Don't mess up, maybe your majesty is waiting for you to make a mistake at this time, the son wants to attack his father whether it's true or not, it's not a good thing for your majesty, since you haven't rebelled, then you don't have to panic, child, my mother has gone through troubled times, lived in Chang'an for a long time, and I have seen a lot of tragic things about the death of the family, there are many people, it is because of the chaos that they have suffered from the disaster, if the hundred horsemen ask, directly have something to say, don't bite anyone, just say your own business. “
Liu also whispered: "Husband, this is a catastrophe for our whole family, whether you can escape or not, my mother and I will always be with you." “
Feng Shijin nodded, picked up the rice bowl and began to eat, he ate three bowls of rice in one go, and drank a bowl of vegetable soup, then put down the chopsticks, touched the heads of the three children with his hand, saluted his mother, and put on the official uniform with the help of his wife.
"In an environment full of ambition and intrigues, intrigue, and suspicion, neither active planning nor self-preservation can guarantee a relatively happy ending for all, and being killed or framed is a common occurrence, and a normal good end has become an accidental exception.
So biting, framing, and betraying, there will be an endless stream of them, and if you find a point, you can pull out a line, so ah, Cheng Qian, I'm not optimistic about this Feng Shijin that you like, why, even if he betrays you, you only dispose of him alone? His family naturally can't move, but your subordinates always need to move, they are all people in the prince's six rates, and it is necessary to purify their team. “
Yun Ye rode a horse and Li Chengqian on the road to Dengzhou, Li Chengqian didn't believe in the six rates of the crown prince he had maintained for many years, just like Yun Ye said, if he took out a random person, he would betray himself, and he had more confidence in his subordinates than Yun Ye. This time, he wanted to rectify the right of the crown prince from his father, and he also wanted to see if his subordinates were as unbearable as Yun Ye said.
The guard who went to inquire about the news came back, and without waiting for him to report, Yun Ye asked with a smile, "Did Feng Shijin run away?" “
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Feng Shijin is still training in Zuotun Guard." The guards ignored Yun Ye and still reported to Li Chengqian what they had discovered.
"His family is gone, is there no place to go?" Yun Ye asked persistently.
"His old mother, wife and children are all there, but he has dismissed the domestic servants." After listening to the guard's report, Li Chengqian glanced at Yun Ye teasingly, pouted and ordered to move on, Yun Ye couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he guessed wrong, and touched his nose to urge the horse to follow.
Li Chengqian, who found two hundred cavalry divisions, ordered them to take Feng Shijin back to the prepared dungeon, and he sat in another room to listen to how Yun Ye interrogated Feng Shijin, which was a kind of assessment for Li Chengqian, to assess whether the six rates under his command were loyal, and also to make a summary of Li Chengqian's ability to control over the years.
When the two warriors in black armor found Feng Shijin, he didn't seem to be surprised at all, and asked them to show their seals, and after arranging their military affairs, he followed them into a carriage, and because he was blindfolded, he only remembered that the carriage had traveled for a long time, passed a busy city, walked through a forest, and finally came to an orchard along a bumpy path.
It is indeed an orchard, this breath Feng Shijin is very familiar, when he was a child, he also had such an orchard in his own home, he was not less fooling around in the orchard when he was young, it is now June, the fruit has not grown, the flowers have fallen, although the eyes are blindfolded, but Feng Shijin is very sure that this is an orchard.
He rubbed his eyes when he was led down a staircase, and the cloth was removed from his eyes, and he could see the furnishings, the shackles, the tongs, the whips, the wooden frames, and many strange instruments of torture, and the two big men violently undressed him and tied him to a wooden frame.
Feng Shi entered the wooden man and let the strong man do it, just looked at the darkness, there were people there, and he could even feel that it was a pair of eyes without good intentions.
"I am a court official, and if I make a mistake, I will naturally be captured, so what is the intention of bringing me here so sneakily? Can the Hundred Horsemen trample on the laws of the land? “
"Feng Shijin, male, now twenty-nine years old, the number of positions Zuotun Wei Zhonglang General, good, good, Feng Shijin, it is not easy to mix from the captain of the raid to the Zhonglang general in eleven years, you are also a master, sue me for your rebellious accomplices, and this official will exempt you from corporal punishment, so that you and I will save trouble."
There was a flat voice in the darkness, the voice did not fluctuate, dull like a parrot, Feng Shijin heard the words of rebellion in the words, he sighed, raised his head and said: "This official is a five-grade official, and the residence in Dengzhou is sent by the order, from the beginning of spring last year to the summer solstice this year, I have not left the place where I live in Tun Guard, how to rebel and say, what is the trouble of wanting to add the crime, is it a rebellion has his own majesty Xià Mingjian, you and other cool officials, want to hear the words of climbing from my mouth, that is a fool's dream." “
"Since the Zhenguan, there have been many hardships and diseases, hundreds of divisions have done things, and the prince has decided from time to time, and he has often called the decree, and he has participated in the national politics of Yu. …… And His Majesty's expedition is when the wise man rises, and the sky blows it, and he does not take it but suffers from it! Feng Shijin, you should be familiar with this passage, right? Although my hundred horsemen are strong, but there is no evidence and never arrest people, just this sentence, I will not be wronged to behead you all over the house, right? ”
Feng Shijin's face was pale, and he couldn't imagine that he and Li Anyan, Zhao Jie, and Du He's words of advising the prince in private would also be known by the Baiqi Division.
Only the prince knew about it, Li Anyan, Zhao Jie and Du He, the prince wouldn't say it, he didn't say it, so only the remaining three people appeared as a traitor, who is it? (To be continued......)
