Chapter 32 is a contest
The rivers and lakes and the court have always been distinct, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. Gunsmoke Pavilion knew that the target of the assassination had an official position this time, but still took over the job. Is the employer offering you too much of a stake, or is there something else? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon......
Regarding the Gunpowder Pavilion, Shen Yanzhi had sent someone to investigate, but he got very little information. The Gunsmoke Pavilion suddenly rose in the rivers and lakes three years ago. The reason for this frightening is naturally the unusual vibration of its first assassination.
One of the best sect leaders in the rivers and lakes, overnight, the head was hung on the door plaque, and the assassin also blatantly attached the three big characters "Gunsmoke Pavilion" next to it. After this incident, everyone in the rivers and lakes knew about the Gunsmoke Pavilion, because of its erratic whereabouts and ruthless behavior, which made people feel more and more mysterious about it.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that as long as it is the work taken by the Gunsmoke Pavilion, it has never been missed, but this reward is three times that of the usual killers. But most of the people who buy murderers are either rich or expensive, and they don't care about this bit of money.
But this time they were so careless and left him with such a big mouth, could it be because he was poisoned, so they thought he would die? Or is it deliberate? Shen Yanzhi's slender fingers tapped on the table, thoughtfully.
……
Last night, Song Yin recruited dozens of concubines into the dormitory. The concubines hadn't seen the prince for a long time, so they naturally dressed up with their hearts and riveted their strength to drill in front of the prince.
The sound of silk and bamboo surrounded the beam, Song Yin hugged the concubine with his left hand, held a glass wine bottle with his right hand, and the beautiful woman in front of him danced lightly with a green waist, which was probably the most lively time in his month.
The concubine who was held in her arms was very eye-catching, only listening to her coquettish laughter, snuggling in Song Yin's arms like a boneless, "Why is the prince so happy?" But the emperor's will has arrived? ”
Song Yin laughed, picked up the concubine's chin with his left hand, and poured all the wine from the glass wine bottle into her mouth, and his tone was extremely light: "Beauty is in her arms, isn't it happier than that will?" Hahaha! ”
Concubine Ji was choked by the liquor and coughed, raised her hand to wipe the wine stains on her face with her wide sleeves, and was still smiling.
Song Yin thought that he was foolproof and had the chance to win, but he expected that Shen Yanzhi would die at this moment.
Unexpectedly, it was only one night, and before he could get drunk, his personal attendant broke into the hall in a panic, knelt down directly with a "poof", and said, "Your Highness, then Shen Yanzhi has returned home!" ”
"What?!" Song Yin heard that Shen Yanzhi was not dead, he suddenly sobered up, became angry, took a few steps, grabbed the collar of the attendant, and said coldly: "You say it again?" ”
The attendant knew that the prince was on the verge of rage, his legs trembled with fright, his lips and tongue were like knots, and he stumbled: "Shen, Shen Shen, Shen Shen!" ”
The prince raised his hand and slapped it over, and the attendant was beaten to a stumbling side.
"Shen, Yan, Zhi! The Gunpowder Pavilion can't kill you, your life is really big! ”
At this time, a shrill voice sounded outside the door: "The emperor has a decree!" Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to accept the order! ”
……
"Alas!" Rongjin stood in front of the windowsill on the second floor of the Jinyu Building, looking into the distance, the blue sky was like washing, and then looked at the street market below, the crowd was like weaving.
Walnut was a little helpless: "Miss, this is your one hundred and first sigh today!" ”
Rong Jin turned around and glanced at Walnut resentfully, making Walnut tremble.
Rong Jin remembered that last night, Shen Yanzhi came to Qingzhuyuan to look for her.
"I'm going to leave for Yizhou in a few days." Shen Yanzhi rubbed his eyebrows, he hadn't been able to rest well for several days.
"To Yizhou?" Hearing this news at first glance, Rongjin was a little surprised. Yizhou is far from the imperial capital, and is located in the southern border of the Shengguo, adjacent to the Chongqing State.
Shen Yanzhi said: "Recently, there has been some turmoil in the state, and there are frequent people who have risen up, and several court officials have died, and the emperor ordered me to investigate this matter carefully." ”
Rong Jin was a little strange, "You are a weak civil official, the emperor sent you to quell the turmoil?" ”
Shen Yanzhi's eyelids moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Who is weak?" The emperor must have seen me resourceful, wise and brave! ”
Rong Jin couldn't help but smile: "Yes, yes, yes!" I'm not worried about you! ”
Shen Yanzhi flicked her smooth forehead lightly, "Sophistry!" ”
After a long time, Shen Yanzhi sighed: "It's hard to say. He himself felt a headache, and this was really not supposed to be him. In the past two days, the emperor suddenly issued an edict, saying that the prince had suddenly woken up, sincerely corrected his mistakes, and lifted the prince's confinement.
In the court today, the emperor was furious. The cause of this incident was that the governor of Yizhou had made a twist and turn, saying that in the past month, several court officials had died in Yizhou, and the people frequently rioted to compete with the government. What really angered Emperor Wei was that this governor was so bold that he couldn't hold it down before reporting to the court! It's been a month now!
Emperor Wei wanted to order General Murong to take care of the matter, but General Murong said that he was old, and he was afraid of delaying the opportunity, so he politely dismissed the matter. Weidi can only choose from another meritocracy.
Emperor Wei glanced around and slowly spoke: "Which Aiqing is willing to share my worries?" ”
The house was silent.
"I am a prosperous country, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, but no one can take on this?" Wei Di's face sank.
As soon as the words fell, the crown prince and the five princes came out at the same time, and they said in unison: "I am willing to share my father's worries!" ”
Song Yin has just been released, so he naturally wants to make a great contribution in front of the emperor, but he is worried that there is no way to make a meritorious service, how can he let go of this good opportunity in front of him? And in this chaos, these little people can still compete with the officers and soldiers? Song Yin had already painted a scene of his triumphant return in his mind.
And the five princes naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate one more force of their own. When he went to quell the rebellion, Emperor Wei would naturally send troops to follow him, and then win over the generals from them, which would add a lot of chances for him to win the throne in the future.
Originally, it was the best choice for General Murong to go for this matter, he was already a military general, and many generals under him trusted him well, but...
Recently, the behavior of the five princes has made General Murong very dissatisfied. He had already chosen to turn a blind eye to the previous incident, and finally his daughter was pregnant, but now that it is less than three months, Song Jin is going to take a concubine, isn't this obviously trampling his baby daughter under his feet? He refused to go to Yizhou in order to give Song Jin a warning!
The emperor looked at the five princes, and then at Song Yin, and was in a dilemma for a while.
These five princes can do everything satisfactorily and to his heart; And the prince, if you want to mess up one thing, leave it to him to do it, and you can be satisfied.
But this prince was locked up once before, and he was released for two days. If Song Jin is chosen this time, I am afraid that this court will not have a foothold for the prince.
