Chapter 19 The Taiji Hall fights openly and secretly
The sky is bright, the middle palace of the imperial city, in the bedroom of Queen Jia, the voice of women's **, one after another.
Through the curtain of the bed, a woman could be seen riding on a man, shaking her head and moving.
**The sound became louder and louder, and finally the woman let out a long "ah----" with satisfaction, and the woman was shocked and fell on the bed with a bang.
After a few moments, the curtain of the bed was pulled open by a stout one. A man with a cloak crawled out of it, took the eunuch clothes on the hanger without saying a word and put them on.
After the man got dressed, he combed his long hair back with both hands, revealing the face of a mature and attractive middle-aged man, who turned out to be a Confucian Hansu!
I saw Han Su dressed as a eunuch, glanced at Jia Hou who was lying down on the bed without hiding his disgust, put on his hat and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, the maids and eunuchs outside all stood silently bowing their heads and respectfully, looking at each one with a tired face, presumably all of them had been keeping watch all night.
Han Su walked in front of everyone without squinting, came to the edge of the railing, and stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for the sun to rise on the new day, but a trace of pain flashed on his face. In order to avenge Yang Jun and Yan Su, he has abandoned the courtesy, righteousness and shame of Confucianism. In order to gain Empress Jia's trust, he even sold his body and soul. No matter how reluctant he was, as long as he thought of Yan Su's words before, he silently endured all the grievances, and even more so he had to pretend to be happy.
Just because, he wants revenge!
"Da, da。。。。。。" There was a sound of footsteps beside Han Su, but it was Zhongchang Dong who stepped up to him and stood side by side with him.
I only heard Dong Meng sigh lightly and said, "Sima Ting is not dead." ”
Han Su's face was expressionless: "I didn't expect that we still underestimated him." ”
Dong Meng sighed again and said, "I didn't expect Sima Ting's martial arts to be so high. The two people who shot were all first-class masters in Kyoto, and they also used the Houyi bow. ”
Han Su was silent. I heard Dong Meng continue: "Presumably Chu Wangwei has already discovered that the assassin is a eunuch from the Runan Palace. Lord Han is very scheming, and with a little instigation, Sima Zong's kid can't hold his breath and sends someone to ambush Sima Ting. Although he couldn't kill Sima Ting, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next, right? ”
Han Su shook his head and said, "If Sima Ting is not dead, it is impossible for Chu Wang Wei and King Runan to really tear their faces with King Runan." Even if all the suspicions point to the Runan Palace, Chu Wangwei will wonder if someone is in the way, with my understanding of Chu Wangwei, he will not easily attack the Runan King. ”
Dong Meng frowned and said, "Then what should we do next?" ”
Han Su said calmly: "Let's wait and see what happens for the time being." The patriarchal faction and the Chu faction have different political opinions, and they are bound to make a lot of trouble. Although Sima Ting is not dead, he will definitely leave a shadow in Chu Wangwei's heart. I don't think we'll have to wait long for the opportunity. ”
Dong Meng nodded, and the two of them just stood quietly and waited for the sunrise together. In a short time, the sun lazily climbed up from the horizon, reflecting the golden yellow of the pavilions and pavilions of the imperial city, which was very magnificent.
The sound of the bell chime also sounded in the palace, echoing in this empty middle palace.
Han Su spoke: "It's up." Today's Taiji Hall should be very lively. ”
~~~~~~~
With a sound of "the emperor has arrived", Emperor Hui ascended the throne with sleepy eyes, and the ministers visited the shrine and shouted long live. Another great pilgrimage began.
Since Yang Jun was executed, the small court meetings have been held with the throne vacant, presided over by three auxiliary ministers. Only at the time of the great court meeting did Emperor Hui come to show his face, which should be the occasion and let the world know that he was still safe and sound.
After Chu Wangwei and the others finished saluting, they came out and said loudly: "The minister has this music!" ”
As soon as Chu Wangwei's words came out, there was silence in the court.
The ministers of the court and the central government all heard about the assassination of the young son of the king of Chu last night, and they were all careful not to make a sound, for fear that the king of Chu would burn himself.
Emperor Hui didn't know about this, and said lazily: "King Chu, please speak." ”
Chu Wangwei said angrily: "The minister wants to join the Central Protector Army, Captain Pei Kai!" ”
Emperor Hui was frightened by Chu Wangwei's face and asked, "Why?" ”
Chu Wangwei suddenly turned around and shouted at the ministers: "Last night, when the courtiers were turning back to the palace, they were attacked by a large number of unknown assassins, and they were seriously injured, and their lives hung by a thread!" Yesterday, there were more than 20,000 people in charge of the Luoyang night patrol, and no one appeared from beginning to end! Pei Kai, as the general of the Central Guard Army, is the commander of the Su Guard Army. Moreover, he also serves as a court lieutenant and is responsible for the criminal law and prison proceedings of the Great Jin Dynasty. Such a large number of assassins openly appeared in Luoyang City to assassinate, which was a great dereliction of duty for Pei Kai! ”
Emperor Hui was taken aback when he heard this: "Pei ...... Where is Pei Kai? ”
Pei Kai really wants to cry without tears! He was drunk last night, but he slept until dawn to hear his subordinates report the matter to him. But there were obviously only two assassins, but they were forced to be said by Chu Wangwei to be a lot, and it seemed that he was going to be attacked today.
Pei Kai stood up and said, "The minister is here." The minister was shocked to hear that His Royal Highness Wang Ziting had been attacked last night, and urgently dispatched the entire city to guard the guards, and even ordered the Tingwei Mansion to solve the case within a time limit. ”
Chu Wangwei said angrily: "Make up for the dead! In Luoyang City, Kyoto, I have the audacity to assassinate the emperor's relatives and the imperial court! If it weren't for Wu'er practicing martial arts since childhood, he could have killed the enemy who came to attack, and if he was a civilian official, I am afraid that he would have already been killed on the spot! ”
Pei Kai was scolded by Chu Wangwei in a cold sweat, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the assassin's ancestors, but he couldn't say a word. He could only look at Runan Wang Liang and Tai Baobao for help, hoping that the two of them could stand up and relieve themselves.
Pei Kai's eldest son, Yu first married the daughter of Wang Liang of Runan, and later his daughter married the son of Wei Qian, and the two auxiliary ministers are both in-laws, so it can be said that he is a loyal supporter of the patriarchal line. However, they found that Runan Wang Liang and Tai Baobao were silent, looking indifferent, and their hearts sank with a pimple.
Chu Wangwei scolded to the fullest, and then he casually bowed his hand to Emperor Hui and said: "Your Majesty, the minister proposes to remove Pei Kaizhong from the post of protector and court lieutenant, demote him by two levels, and fine him for half a year!" ”
Emperor Hui looked at Wang Liang of Runan and Tai Baobao, and found that both of them did not say a word and had no objections, so he had to say: "Accurate!" ”
There was silence in the court, Pei Kai knelt on the ground, took off his official hat and put it on the ground tremblingly, and bowed: "Thank you Emperor Longen!" After saying that, he got up and walked out of the hall, so that he was not desolate......
Runan Wang Liang looked at Pei Kai's lonely back, and sincerely felt sorry for this old friend who was devoted to himself. But he was helpless!
Last night, Gao Lishi, the head of the Chu Palace, took people to secretly come to the Runan Palace, carrying two corpses and Hou Yi Gong, saying that someone had stolen Hou Yi Gong and pretended to be someone from the Runan Palace, to assassinate Sima Ting, and Chu Wangwei was not deceived by tricks, and specially ordered them to inform the King of Runan.
As soon as he saw the faces of the two dead corpses, his eyelids also jumped wildly, and he immediately knew that this was not someone pretending, these two people were clearly the eunuchs he gave to Sima Zong! Since Chu Wangwei was sent here, he also knew that Chu Wangwei didn't want to make a big deal and be used by some people with intentions.
After he said that he understood, he took his generals to find Sima Zong, slapped Sima Zong fiercely, scolded him for his lack of success and more than failure, and then locked him up.
But it's his own son anyway! He had already informed Tai Baowei to make some concessions to Chu Wangwei today, so he could only remain silent about Chu Wangwei's desire to abolish Pei Kai, and only thought about waiting for the opportunity in the future to promote Pei Kai back to the court.
