Chapter 6: Escape from Death (5)
"You wait first, the emperor is taking a nap, and when the emperor wakes up, the villain will report first." The eunuch Ling Su Wen laughed while shirking the gold he had accepted from Jiang Chong.
Before Jiang Chong could speak, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the Xuanshu Palace, "Who dares to kill me!" This is exactly Liu Che's voice.
Jiang Chong shouted: "There are assassins!" Then he rushed into the inner sanctum with his sword.
Su Wen's face was as frightened as ashes, and he followed closely with his fat body. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Guanglu doctor Jin Riyan with a group of feather forests were looking around, and a few rushed out of the small door, and saw the emperor holding a sword in his hand, stepping on it with one hand, his hair was scattered, his eyes were blurred, and his face was oozing sweat, and the sword flashed with cold light, shooting on the crane lamp in the shadows, which made people shudder.
Seeing this, Jiang Chong immediately threw the sword on the ground, knelt down, and bowed: "Your Majesty, the villain heard that there is an assassin, the situation is urgent, and the escort is anxious. ”
Of course, Jiang Chong is not really begging for death, he is already well versed in the way of the emperor and the emperor, at this time, the more earnest, the more heartfelt.
Su Wen also shouted at a few maids: "Why don't you go and prepare hot water and warm cloths, what are you doing in a daze!" Several maids were already frightened and at a loss, and when they heard this, they hurriedly bowed their heads and withdrew.
The emperor's beard is gray, but the dragon's power is undiminished, and there are two handfuls of beards that are slightly upturned, just like the dragon's beard. Seeing that there were many guards, he was relieved, he slowly put the sword into the sheath, held it in his hand, sat cross-legged on it, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Aiqing is loyal and brave, forgive the crime, pick up the sword, and talk back here." ”
Jiang Chong thanked him, and he was inevitably proud in his heart, and the inner temple replied, this is a great grace. He rolled his eyes, bowed his head and said, "The minister did not purge the traitors, and he is ashamed of His Majesty's favor!" ”
The emperor said: "I don't blame you, I just saw a wooden person holding a wooden stick and wanted to kill me, and then I saw that there was no one, I am afraid that there is a little ghost who is making trouble, bullying my old eyes and dizzy, and my body is getting worse and worse, and I am more and more forgetful." ”
Jiang Chong didn't expect the emperor to send a message himself, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is having something important to report." As he spoke, his eyes turned from side to side. The emperor knew what he meant, and with a slight wave of his big sleeves, Su Wen and a group of close attendants bowed down and slowly withdrew.
"It's no accident that Your Majesty saw a wooden man doing so. Chen heard that there are several Hu people wizards, who are particularly good at observing qi, and their sneaky aura can be seen at a glance. The minister spent a lot of money to invite two witches and traveled all over Jingzhao place, and they said that Jingzhao witch qi was everywhere, especially ......" Jiang Chong deliberately hesitated.
"Say!" The emperor's unquestionable tone was in the middle of Jiang Chong's heart.
"Oh, especially in the palace, the witch qi is rolling, like a black cloud pressing down on the city, layer after layer is rushing towards the Ganquan Palace, I'm afraid that the witch Gu thing is flourishing again!"
Jiang Chong said so eloquently, the emperor was already furious, suddenly threw the sword in his hand into Jiang Chong's arms, and said loudly: "It's really the opposite!" It's the other way around! Jiang Chong listened to the order, I ordered you to be the imperial historian, to treat this witch Gu, to investigate, to investigate, to investigate! No one will be spared, no matter who is found, they will be severely punished! ”
"Wechen will never give up! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Jiang Chong knelt on the ground solemnly.
Jiang Chong got Shang Fang's sword and held it in his arms all night without sleeping, he felt that this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step had really come, and this feeling of reaching out and touching the sky made him unable to close his eyes. The next day, the emperor had another decree to send Daohou Han Shuo, Yushi Zhanggan, and Huangmen Suwen to assist in the control of witches, and overnight, Jiang Chong became famous. But he didn't act immediately, but found an opportunity to meet the most favored person in the harem today, Mrs. Hook Yi, known as "Yao's Mother".
Mrs. Hook Yi has long eyebrows and sideburns, the tips of her eyebrows are raised, her eyes are like walnuts, full of coquettishness, her cheeks are red and bright and delicate, and her earrings are dripping white jade beads.
Mrs. Hook Yi and Jiang Chong are old acquaintances, when Mrs. Hook Yi lied about the dragon species, it was about to be revealed, and Jiang Chong was in danger, since then, the two often do things that are not good, because the pregnancy is four months late, Jiang Chong asked Mrs. Gou Yi to tell the Son of Heaven that the child is 14 months pregnant, the Son of Heaven actually believed it, and changed the Hook Yi Palace Gate to "Yao Mu Gate", you know, according to legend, Yao Mu was also pregnant for 14 months, and the birth was Di Yao.
The folk legend is not believable, but the emperor who is eloquent and eloquent believes it, and says it with great fanfare, what does it mean, isn't it dissatisfied with the prince, and intends to establish Fuling as the prince? In addition, the son of Gou Yi, Fuling, is very clever and very popular with the emperor, and the Son of Heaven often expresses his dissatisfaction with the prince, and Jiang Chong blows the wind from time to time, and the idea of establishing Fuling as the prince is becoming stronger and stronger.
The fragrance in the hall was thick, the maid stood with bated breath, and Mrs. Gou Yi said through the jade curtain: "The imperial doctor does things for the Han Dynasty, and he can be loyal to the country, and he doesn't have to worry about the people in the harem." Jiang Chong guessed that it was inconvenient for Mrs. Gou Yi to speak more, and said: "The minister is not for him to visit this time, he got a gem some time ago, his posture is exquisite, like a child, it is cyan in the water, and it is yellow when the water falls, and the minister does not dare to hide it privately, and he dedicates it to his wife." ”
Mrs. Gou Yi thought about it for a while, knew what it meant, and was secretly happy in her heart, and replied: "I have received my heart, you can keep the things, and send them over in the future." Recently, the emperor's dragon body is not safe, I heard that it is the harm of witch qi, Lord Jiang must find out the source, completely get rid of the disaster, pray for the emperor's trouble, and the palace will definitely speak well for the emperor in front of the emperor. ”
Jiang Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, no longer polite, and withdrew with a "whoosh".
"Humph! The time has come. Jiang Chong looked at the sky and strode out of Ganquan Palace.
On this day, the young Fu Shide and a few powerful guests of the prince's mansion came to Bowangyuan. In the past few days, Jiang Chong's actions have made the Confucian students unable to sit still.
Shi De said angrily: "Your Highness, the people of Jiangchong Nabang actually excavated in the front hall and back palace, and dug up the ground under the emperor's throne, which is really rampant!" I think he will definitely come to the prince's mansion to dig. These people don't know what means they used, and puppets were dug up everywhere in the harem, which was clearly framed. ”
"Yes, he dug the throne to show that there was nowhere to dig up. Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, for fear that they will play tricks, His Highness must prepare in advance. A doorman chimed in.
The prince paced silently, what they said was right, Jiang Chong could come to the prince's mansion at any time, in case he deliberately planted it, how to deal with it? Also, what is the situation on the queen mother's side, I should send a competent person to inquire quickly. While thinking about it, Huangmen hurriedly came to report, and Jiang Chong and others came to the prince's mansion to investigate the witch Gu.
Before negotiating, Jiang Chong took two Hu Wu, and according to Daohou Han said, Yushi Zhanggan, Huangmen Suwen, and a group of servants with shovels, they came to the palace violently, and Huangmen couldn't stop them, so frightened that they went straight to the prince to ask for mercy.
Su Wen bowed down simply, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, the emperor has ordered Jiang Chong to be the envoy of witch control and thoroughly investigate witch Gu." We have already checked the corners and corners of several major palaces, but the prince's mansion has not been checked, and I hope that His Royal Highness will temporarily move and let the servants inspect and inspect. "It turns out that this Su Wen also has a dislike for the prince in the day, and often sows right and wrong in front of the emperor, but this time he can bring down the prince, change the past only promise, and speak a lot bolder.
Shi De usually looked down on eunuchs like Su Wen who drilled around camping, and said angrily: "Ridiculous! The crown prince is bright and fair, everyone knows it, how can he do such a dirty thing as witch Gu, and the prince is the orthodox royal family, the prince of the Han Dynasty, and the eldest son of the emperor, how can he curse the emperor with this indiscriminate means! ”
Jiang Chong has never looked down on these Confucian scholars, and said angrily: "The emperor's will, thoroughly investigate the witch Gu, there is no person who cannot be checked, there is no place that cannot be dug up, I have always been impartial and obey the law, I will not wronged anyone, nor will I shield anyone, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is innocent, then check it to prove his innocence, if you don't check, you are not afraid that it will not happen." Come on, dig! ”
As soon as the words fell, the two witches began to do the law, and with words in their mouths, their hands pointed in all directions, and the messenger dug up in the direction of the fingers.
