Chapter 83: Forced to return to Kyoto
In the middle of the night, Prime Minister Luan, who had been going around outside, returned to the temple on the outskirts of the city.
He pushed open the lid of his daughter's coffin, and saw people lying quietly inside, the body had been washed, and some fat powder was put on, and the hair was neatly combed, wearing bright pearl emeralds, and wearing gorgeous shrouds, it seemed that everything was intact, no different from when he was alive, only a face was as white as snow, and the bright rouge could not be melted together, abrupt and weird, and it was flickered by the dim candlelight, which looked even more gloomy.
The corpse couldn't be parked for too long, although it was late autumn at that time, but the climate in Anning County was humid, and Prime Minister Luan just wanted to take a look at her while the corpse was intact, and when her corpse was decomposed and deformed, he didn't want to see it, and he didn't even want to think about it.
He stood motionless in front of the coffin, staring directly at the person inside, as if only he had been staring at her, her body would never decompose.
She looked like she was asleep, quiet and motionless, so Luan Ningchuan thought she was asleep and began to talk to her.
"I have been negligent all these years, I have not taken good care of you, since you have grown to the age of sixteen, I have become busier and busier, more and more busy, I have been more worried about your sister in those years, because she is alone in the palace, everyone wants to harm her, I don't want her to give birth to a child, so I have to help her, I can't leave her alone to work there, she can't do it herself, there are too many people who want to harm her.
Even the emperor wanted her to die...... Xiang'er, the emperor's family is the most ruthless, I can't take care of the two of you, and my father is also very bitter in his heart!
Fortunately, your sister fought for her anger and finally gave birth to a prince, I actually didn't want to rebel at the beginning, but that dog emperor, he was afraid of the Luan family, he was afraid of the Luan family, your grandfather made great contributions to him, but what about him, what did he give to the Luan family?
Your grandfather told me before he died, telling me not to do my best for the emperor, and not to show my edge in the court, telling me to learn to forbear, but if I really do that, then what has become of me, what has become of the Luan family? His Damu Dynasty is nothing without the help of my Luan family, why, help to help, the children and grandchildren of other families will be emperors, and the princes will be princes, and the Luan family? The Luan family has made great contributions, and this big Mu Jiangshan should have half of my Luan family!
But he doesn't recognize this dog emperor, and your grandfather won't let me recognize it! I'm unwilling, it's not fair to our Luan family, right? Hehe, I knew that Xiang'er, you were the same as I thought.
You and your sister are very similar to me, we all think the same, I have to snatch back all the things that the Dog Emperor stole for the Luan family, make up for the grievances suffered by the Luan family for generations, make up for the grievances suffered by your sister, and make up for your life...... You sleep well, Daddy will do the rest for you, Daddy knows that you have resentment in your heart, don't worry, Daddy is here......"
In the end, he lovingly stroked the hair on Luan Xiang'er's forehead, but Luan Huanyu's voice suddenly came from outside: "Prime Minister, the minister has something important to report, and the Hongmei thief has appeared!" ”
Luan Ningchuan suddenly felt the green tendons on his forehead jump twice, and immediately retracted his hand and turned out to ask, "Where is he now?" ”
Luan Huan Yu said: "It appeared in Dujia Village, Guize County, east of Chao'an City, as if it was to stay in the farmhouse for Xiao Weiye's injury, and was discovered by a local outsider, and now General Luan Rong has sent someone to chase him." ”
"To the east?" Prime Minister Luan pondered for a moment, did not speak, and said for a long time: "Since you have already chased it, you should stay in Anning County and wait for the news, don't rush them all, lest you fall into the trap." ”
Luan Huanyu bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
Prime Minister Luan Cheng sighed: "It is said that the Hongmei thief has come and gone without a trace, and between this back and forth message transmission, the Hongmei thief is afraid that he will flee again." ”
Luan Huan said gloomily: "Prime Minister, the minister has an idea. ”
"Speak."
Luan Huan said gloomily: "Hongmei Daxia seems to have deliberately leaked his whereabouts, and the person who reported him said that he was just wearing a mask, and he was still wearing that red dress, and the minister thought it was too eye-catching." No matter how arrogant he was, he shouldn't care about Xiao Wei who he risked to rescue, so the minister felt that he was deliberately hinting at the adult. ”
Prime Minister Luan said: "This person is scheming and an outlaw, so he sent a letter to Rong'er and told him to be cautious." Pay attention to his movements, see which way he goes, and report anything as soon as possible. ”
Luan Huanyu was slightly stunned, and then he was ordered to leave. Because in the past, when he proposed to the prime minister, or said something, the prime minister would always reply to him, but today he was very gentle with him.
He explained the errand of his subordinates, so he went to visit Zhao Baiquan's room, and saw that his subordinates had just finished serving him and were lying on the bed, so he moved a chair and sat beside him and said, "Your life is really big!" ”
Luan Huanyu usually had little contact with Zhao Baiquan, because he had always looked down on this person, and he used to meet often, and he didn't even bother to say hello, but this time there was such a big thing, he thought that Prime Minister Luan would inevitably say that he was going to kill him, but he didn't expect him to change his mind in a few words, and he also praised him and Luan Rong with him, and he didn't know how powerful this person was until today.
During the day, he and Luan Rong personally guarded the door of Zhao Baiquan's room, since the two of them participated in the conspiracy to assassinate the prince for their positions, Prime Minister Luan had nothing to shy away from the two of them, so he and Luan Rong heard the conversation in the room clearly.
Zhao Baiquan smiled bitterly: "What kind of joke did the general say, I don't know how many days I can survive."
Luan Huan said in a gloomy manner: "Why are you helping me and General Rong?" ”
Zhao Baiquan said: "I'm not here to help you, just to persuade my father, he is too hard alone, and if he continues like this, he will have to be driven crazy!" The two generals are both Daddy's right-hand men, in fact, even if I don't say anything for the two generals, Daddy will also reuse the two generals, but it is inevitable that there will be some estrangement, and everyone is not very happy, and I am afraid of resentment in the future. ”
Luan Huanyu sneered: "You changed your words quickly, and you are really ruthless to yourself." I can't help but be a little skeptical. ”
Zhao Baiquan smiled and said, "What does the general suspect?" ”
Luan Huan said gloomily: "Anyway, I think you have too many ghost eyes." ”
Zhao Baiquan said: "That general is really worried, I'm a dying person, what's the use of so many ghost eyes?" ”
Luan Huan said gloomily: "The prime minister said that he would not let you die, besides, I see that your illness can be survived if you are properly conditioned." Although I am not a doctor, I have been on the battlefield for a long time, and I have seen a lot of life and death, as long as the medicine is properly taken care of, you will be fine, not to mention that you don't want to die in the first place, right? With this will, you can't die. ”
Luan Huanyu's words have another deep meaning, implying that he said that he saw that he was pitiful in front of the prime minister. Zhao Baiquan smiled and said, "Thank you for being so busy and coming to comfort me." In fact, the general doesn't have to guard against me like this, we are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and I can't harm you. Now that the wind and rain are in turmoil, it is the moment of tension, the general has to be vigilant, I am an insignificant villain, the general does not have to take it to heart. ”
Luan Huan said gloomily: "No matter what, I thank you, if it weren't for you, the prime minister would never trust me, I will rely on Lord Zhao more in the future, and I hope Lord Zhao will not dislike me." ”
Zhao Baiquan said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, they are all a family, so it seems to be angry." ”
Luan Huanyu got up and said, "Lord Zhao, rest, I'm bothered." Zhao Baiquan said: "I will not be far away." ”
Luan Huanyu got up and walked out of the house and went to rest in the military camp temporarily stationed outside Anning County. In the early morning of the next day, there was a fast horse report, and it turned out that overnight, Meiyue Xue did not stop, and set off in the direction of further east.
Prime Minister Luan was also a little shocked after getting the news: "It's still going east!" The farther east he got to the capital, the tighter the garrison, what did he want to do? Luan Huanyu couldn't guess it this time, and said: "I thought he was out at night, even if General Luan Rong couldn't catch him at night, but there are many of us, he always has a time when he is tired, not to mention that he is still carrying a Xiao Wei, and now it seems that he is going to rush around the clock." ”
"No, no, no, no......" Luan Cheng shook his head repeatedly: "No! If he rushes to the capital like this, he will have to collide with the crown prince! Even if the prince has the protection of the generals, it is difficult to ensure that this thief is secretly cheating! He is an outlaw, not afraid of death, I have no Xiang'er, the queen can't make any more mistakes! No, I can't stay here any longer, go back to Beijing, go back to Beijing! Return to Beijing immediately! ”
Luan Huanyu hurriedly hugged him and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, there are only two of them, and they can't help the queen, but he is bent on leading us in the direction of the capital, not to mention that there is a problem in this place!" The queen mother is in danger, we will send a letter to the mother and the prince to tell them to go back, there is no need to go back in person. ”
Prime Minister Luan said angrily: "What else can be checked in this ghost place, all of them have already been checked!" That thief is going to the capital, in case the emperor gets the news and orders a strict defense and careful investigation, what will happen to those Yi people on the outskirts of the city! ”
Luan Huanyu was speechless for a while, and said after a moment: "Then I will take two people to stay here and continue the secret visit, and the prime minister and my deputy general will return to Beijing together." ”
Prime Minister Luan said: "He is determined to oppose the Luan family, what good can you do if you stay here?" The capital needs you and Rong'er to make some deployments, so let's put it here first, it doesn't matter. The emperor and the crown prince are in our hands, even this red plum thief is the emperor's person, and he can't make any waves, we agreed with the Yi people earlier to succeed and start a war, which is the most important thing. ”
Luan Huan said gloomily: "Okay, the minister will go and gather the army, send someone to send a letter to the queen mother and the prince, and then help the prime minister find someone to move Miss's coffin and tablet into Beijing." ”
Luan Cheng said to him: "You don't have to worry about the coffin, I'll just come, you can go and do something else!" ”
After Luan Huan Yu retired, Prime Minister Luan Cheng secretly said in his heart: "Emperor Lao'er, if you and your son hurt me so badly, don't blame me for being ruthless, this time I will return to Beijing, I want you to come to my daughter's funeral as soon as possible!" ”
