Chapter 305: Broken Ship
It was night, the autumn rain was continuous, and the empty house was lit with a big oil lamp, Jiang Banxia leaned in front of the faint light to read the letters sent from Kyoto, and after more than a month of treatment, her eyes were almost better.
The high-quality letterhead was stamped with the big seal of the celebrant and the celebrant on it, and sure enough, there was a note in the letter exchanged for official business, and after reading it, Jiang Banxia laughed silently.
Cao Alcohol's old fox, the abacus is really good, and all the good things in the world are taken away by him.
There are three major events in Kyoto this autumn, the first major event is to choose a concubine for the prince, although only for the prince and the prince to choose a concubine, but in Kyoto it is still vigorous, just the women who should be recruited into the palace occupy several halls, who wants to finally Qingwen Emperor Zhu pen waved, and Zhang Youyuan, one of the two sisters in Kyoto, was allowed to be a concubine to the prince.
Although Zhang Youyuan is a rare talented woman, and she has such a name, she is old after all, and she is allowed to give the eldest prince who is five or six years younger than her, and the rumors in Kyoto have become difficult to sound.
It is said that Zhang Youyuan angrily smashed dozens of vases at home, and said cruel words, she did not have the habit of being a mother.
These little things aside, the second big thing in the back is called excitement, after Emperor Qingwen gave marriage, there was a big prince who made a big woman's belly, and the ugly things collided together, and the Zongren Mansion called it dead.
In the words of the ordinary people, in fact, this is nothing, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but it can't be said in the royal family, the object of Emperor Qingwen's marriage is the daughter of the Taiping Marquis's family! She is a talented woman who grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and if she shakes out such a scandal, won't the Taiping Marquis see it? Don't you want to think about it?
Of course he will see, of course he will think, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart, especially at such a juncture at this time.
Emperor Qingwen forcibly saved face, so he ordered to reprimand the eldest prince, and let the eldest prince think about it behind closed doors until the marriage date, and the real power and official position that originally fell on the eldest prince was taken back in this way, and he became a veritable 'idle prince'.
Seeing this, Jiang Banxia couldn't help laughing, aren't these all what Emperor Qingwen wants? not only humiliated the Marquis of Taiping but also controlled the eldest prince, and also let these two people who couldn't beat each other stick together.
The means are really high.
In this way, even if the two sides seek common interests with each other, they will have to negotiate for a long time, and by the time they react and want to fight back, it will be too late.
Compared with conspiracy, no one knows how to play with people's hearts better than Emperor Qingwen, Daming is like a broken ship, and it is Emperor Qingwen who is at the helm to support the boat, and he is undoubtedly excellent in driving this broken ship out of a distance not far or near in the wind and rain.
It's just that the ship is so broken that even if he has superb piloting skills, he can't undo the tragedy of the imminent sinking.
Jiang Banxia's gaze shifted downward, and the letter that Cao Alcohol carried in the official document finally wrote the third major event that happened in Kyoto, with very few words, but it outlined a fact in a few words.
Yang Yiqing was escorted into Beijing, although the name of the crime was not revealed to the public, but he was imprisoned in the edict prison, and he ate the 'service' of the brocade guards every day.
Jiang Banxia shook his head, it seems that this Lord Yang heard half of what she said at the beginning, but it's okay, it's not safe anywhere now, and it may not be a good thing to stay in the edict.
Thinking about it, she approached the candle flame, and her fire tongue quietly licked the secret letter, gnawing at the handwriting inch by inch, as if this way the secret would really become a secret.
Knock, knock.
There were two abrupt landing sounds behind Jiang Banxia, and then she noticed that someone was approaching, and the person deliberately made a sound under his feet, and even his breath was not restrained.
Heavy breathing rang in her ears.
"Little benefactor, let me find it easily." Ao Ji lowered his voice, the official dialect of the Northwest itself was rough, and even if he lowered his voice, he could still hear the irritability in his tone. Just go and listen to the book
Jiang Banxia slowly tilted his head and asked with a gentle smile on his face, "Oh? Where do I need to report to you? ”
Under the faint candle flame, her squinted eyes shone with a cold light, cold like a knife that pierced people's hearts.
Ao Ji's originally smiling face collapsed instantly, and the eagle's eyes were crowded together, full of danger.
He suddenly hooked Jiang Banxia's chin, swept it all the way down from the eyebrow bone, and said in a rather regretful tone: "The little benefactor is really tight, if you know that the little benefactor is a girl, you can go to the soup and let you do anything, as long as you can kiss Fang Ze..."
"It's okay now." Jiang Banxia curled her lips and smiled slightly, her amber eyes coldly reflected the other party's exaggerated expression, she pressed her backhand on the other party's chest, and slowly drew a circle.
"Would you like to make a hole here?"
The woman's expression was not flustered at all, and even joked with him, Ao Ji subconsciously looked at the hand that stopped on his chest, that hand was slender and powerful, and the bones were distinct, and there was an extremely slender blade between the hand.
As long as she pushes forward, he will be here today.
Ao Ji raised his hand, smiled and took half a step back, just to make a safe distance.
"You can't say that, you Han people don't often say that meeting is fate, so in order to celebrate the fate between us, I have specially prepared a 'gift'."
The last two words Ao Ji bit very hard: "Hopefully, you will like it." ”
With two thuds, Ao Ji's men carried a man from the beam, an old woman with her arms and legs tied, and in order to prevent her from making a sound, they specially gagged her with a cloth.
Jiang Banxia frowned, and she asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"It's sincerity." Ao Ji smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to show sincerity, isn't this sincerity enough?" ”
Jiang Banxia used the handle of the knife to pick open the cloth ball stuffed in the old woman's mouth, and as soon as the cloth ball left her mouth, the other party scolded her hysterically as if she had eaten explosives.
"Are you satisfied with such a gift?" Ao Ji pointed out: "It just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and I heard that the little benefactor had lost his relatives and the whole village was slaughtered, so he couldn't bear to be sad for the little benefactor, so he took it upon himself to invite the little benefactor to be a 'neighbor'." ”
"You check me." Jiang Banxia's face turned cold.
Ao Ji crossed his arms and shook his head: "I can't say that, I care about you in the next place." ”
"I have helped you present the matter of the grandson of Altan Khan in the north, no matter what reason, I don't think there is any offense." She said coldly.
"It's all said to be a 'gift', so why bother." Ao Ji narrowed his eyes, and said without a preface: "However, your godfather is really a character, he eats both sides, and he is not afraid of dying." ”
"Momentum? Do you think I, will? ”
Jiang Banxia took advantage of the gap between her words and moved half a step to the edge of the table, she touched her back with her hand, and suddenly pulled out the knife leaning against the table, and the sharp blade slashed out horizontally, straight to Ao Ji's face.
The last person who threatened her like this - long dead.
