Chapter 289: Return to the capital quickly
But......
The man who leaned out of the carriage did not kill in some ferocious posture, and it seemed more appropriate to say that he had fallen out of the carriage.
Master Xie's eyes were half-squinted and half-opened, holding Fang Cai's bruised forehead at the door frame with one hand, and grabbing the door frame that almost threw him out with the other, almost fainting.
"Lord Xie?"
Xiang Yeqi was a little stunned.
The Huaguo guards led by Ying Yan were relieved to see that it was Master Xie who fell out of the carriage in pain, so they boldly lifted the curtain of the carriage and carefully explored the scene in the carriage, and a sour and astringent smell of bile also overflowed into the air along the raised door curtain.
Ying Yan pinched her nose and took two steps back: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is only Mrs. Xie who has fainted in the carriage, and nothing else." ”
The carriage collapsed under his feet, and the coachman was thrown out by the frenzied foal just now, and he could see the scene inside the carriage even when he fell to the night.
She tugged at Bo Zhaoxu's sleeve: "Let's go down first." ”
"It's fine."
Bo Zhaoxu grabbed her waist and took a few steps around before jumping off the roof tiles.
He seemed to have foreseen something, so he did it too much.
As soon as the two of them touched the ground, Lord Xie also recovered from the turbulence of the carriage, blinked sluggishly, and looked at the surrounding scene.
Xiang Yeqi thought that he was going to say something, so he opened his mouth slightly.
Lord Xie got up with the almost completely collapsed carriage station, and actually threw up in the corner, his ears were buzzing with tinnitus, although he glanced around, but because his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, he didn't see anything clearly, so he had to ease the pain of his stomach first.
Xiang Yeqi was helpless, and said to the old man: "Old man, you can take a look at these two first, the injury on my head is no longer in the way." ”
After all, if Lao Langzhong is one step late, the wound on her head will heal.
Killing the Xie family and his wife halfway gave her time for her wounds to heal.
So in comparison, the Xie family and his wife look a little more pitiful.
Bo Zhaoxu was probably a little dissatisfied because she didn't always care about herself, but she also gave in because of Xiang Ye's insistence, and sighed: "Help Master Xie over and give Mr. a good look." ”
Ying Yan took out a somewhat rudimentary mattress sheet from the room and spread it on the ground, while the other two guards lay flat on the mattress sheet with the unsteady legs of Lord Xie.
Lao Langzhong seemed to be angry, secretly snorted, and looked at the pillow for Lord Xie with some reluctance, and rolled his eyes down, his expression was as calm and angry as before: "Back to you, this adult just hurt his stomach when he was bumping, just rest." ”
He glanced at Mrs. Xie's pale face, "This lady is the same, if you can't rest assured, the grass people will prescribe some medicine for the two of you." ”
Master Xie waved his hand weakly and coughed fiercely: "No need, there is Mr. Lao." ”
The old man hummed lightly, stroked his sleeves and pinched his pulse, he was chased all the way out of breath, if it wasn't for the good bottom, he would have to be killed by someone at this time.
It's a good time to toss this time, and the sky is getting brighter.
Bo Zhaoxu instructed people to go to the city inn to prepare a few rooms, tossing all night, and finally resting.
I didn't think that Lord Xie had enough rest, but he knelt in front of Bo Zhaoxu and arched his hand: "I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in Beijing, please return to Beijing as soon as possible!" ”
After resting for a while, most of the time there is no hope.
"Master Xie, don't worry." Xiang Yeqi stole a glance at Bo Zhaoxu's dull face, "Even if Your Majesty and I leave for Beijing immediately, we can't rush back immediately, you better tell me what happened in Beijing first, Your Majesty is a little prepared." ”
"The minister understands!"
Only then did Master Xie realize that he was so anxious that he even forgot to report one or two times, no wonder Bo Zhaoxu had such a complexion.
"Seven days after His Majesty and Niangniang left Beijing, a group of Hu people of unknown origin mixed into the capital to stir up trouble, and the old minister was ordered by Prime Minister Bi to lead people to suppress it, so that the group of Hu people did not hurt the people in the city. A few days after this incident, most of the granaries in Beijing were set on fire, and General Xue also quickly sent a message back to Beijing, saying that the Hu people in the border pass had the posture of attacking the city and starting a war! ”
Bo Zhaoxu and Lord Xie both knew what Lord Xie's body was, if it wasn't for some urgent matter, Lord Xie would never be unprepared, and he didn't even have time to deliver the letter, so he hurried to Juncheng to report the letter.
But the situation was even more serious than he expected, and even his voice was three points cold: "Lord Xie, why didn't you say it earlier?" I've been out of the palace for a long time, isn't it enough for you to send a letter and let me know about the situation in Beijing? ”
It would have taken a while for General Xue's family to transmit the news back to Beijing, and it had been suppressed in the capital for so long, and the battle at the border pass would have started a long time ago!
Xiang Yeyan was frightened into a cold sweat by Lord Xie's words, pursed his lips slightly, but did not leave time for himself to think, and called Yingyan: "Yingyan, prepare a horse for Your Majesty, and then take the carriage back, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Seeing that Lord Xie was flustered by Bo Zhaoxu's question, he comforted Yeqi: "Lord Xie, you don't have to worry about it first, the matter has come to this point, it is important to explain the matter clearly first." Since it has been so long, can Jingzhong find out who burned the granary in Beijing? Is it the Hu people who are secretly mixed in, or is there an inner ghost in Beijing? ”
Master Xie thought for a moment and said, "Neither!" It was the Xixia people who set fire to the granary! Speaking of this, the minister is indeed guilty! The minister is responsible for the diplomatic affairs with the Western Xia State, His Majesty has told to treat the Western Xia envoy well, so the minister did not think much about it, and placed the envoy who visited the Western Xia in Beijing, because of the chaos of the Hu people, the minister also left a lot of guards as guards, but, the minister never thought that they would do such a treacherous thing, it was really chilling for His Majesty and the minister! ”
After saying that, Lord Xie's heart fell two tears like colic, his old palm grabbed the fabric on his chest, and his heart seemed to be clutched like this.
But with Xiang Yeqi here, the panic in Lord Xie's heart has indeed been alleviated a lot. He even felt that it was because of Xiang Yeqi that Bo Zhaoxu did not immediately treat him at this time.
Xiang Yeqi, the empathetic queen, is the reassuring agent for Lord Xie to safely state what happened in front of Bo Zhaoxu, you must know that earlier, he also felt that Bo Zhaoxu would cause chaos as the only favorite of the Son of Heaven, which was absolutely impossible, but today, he was already glad that Bo Zhaoxu was partial to Xiang Yeqi.
Bo Zhaoxu was a little relieved, it was the Xixia people who set the fire, which showed that there was a Qiu Ming signal, which was better than Gu Yanchao ordering people to do it a thousand times.
"Go on."
"It's Prime Minister Bi who doesn't allow his ministers to spread the news out of the capital, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the capital!" Lord Xie lamented, "There have been such shocking things in Beijing one after another, and Your Majesty is not in Beijing, Prime Minister Bi Cheng is afraid that this matter will greatly disturb the people's hearts and distract His Majesty outside, so he is not allowed to say half a word, and the offender will be cut first and then played!" ”
This Bi Cheng is regarded as the prime minister of the two dynasties who watched Bo Zhaoxu grow up, and for the sake of his duty, it is impossible for him to be in the same stream with foreigners, the only possibility is that he is really worried that Bo Zhaoxu will know about this, which will make the situation more serious, and he also believes that he can settle all the incidents by himself.
It's really sloppy.
Bo Zhaoxu's voice was very soft, but he still had a questioning tone: "If you can force Master Xie to go to Juncheng to find me in person, it seems that the situation in Beijing can't be suppressed, right?" ”
Master Xie suddenly felt weak, and nodded sneerfully: "Since the minister learned that the Xixia people set fire to the granary, he couldn't sleep every day, and sent a number of family members out to find out the news, and found that the soldiers of the Hu people had been stationed at the border for some time, and they really didn't dare to hide it anymore, the minister was guilty of capital crimes, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!" Minister, minister will confess......"
His temperament is indeed a little twisted.
The words are all on the lips, how can you hide it?
Xiang Yeqi had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Lord Xie, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only you dare to break out of the capital to report to Your Majesty, and with your courage and concern for Sheji, Your Majesty will not condemn you." ”
Bo Zhaoxu nodded in response again, and his sigh was full of grief: "It's not that only the ministers want to go out of Beijing to deliver a letter for Your Majesty, but except for the ministers, no one else can come out!" ”
"How so?"
Bo Zhaoxu was a little worried, I am afraid that there is really a big change in Jingzhong that is out of his control, and the more he tries to suppress the incident like this, the more uncontrollable things will be.
Xiang Yeqi had already told him about Nan Chen, but he didn't expect to miss so much because of this.
"Several powerful ministers are waiting for the opportunity to move, some people think that they will take refuge in Wu after the death of the country, and some people are worried about how to get a piece of the pie, taking advantage of the chaos to do the troubled times, Bi Chengxiang is lacking in skills, and he is restrained by others, so he has to try his best to restrict the entry and exit of the city, and the ministers ...... Under the pretext of escaping from prison, he escaped with other ministers who fled before the city gate was locked! ”
Lord Xie kowtowed again and again, thinking about the capital crime he said, that is, he had robbed the prison against the wind.
The courtiers in Beijing all knew that Lord Xie loved his daughter, but he could make people like Prime Minister Bi turn a blind eye and allow him to flee for his life out of the city.
Because in the eyes of Prime Minister Bi Cheng, these people who are about to flee out of the city just because they see the war will not take refuge in the Hu people's tent, nor will they return to Beijing, especially people like Lord Xie who committed capital crimes for their daughters, and everyone has worked together for many years, so they simply turned a blind eye and let them escape.
Those who really wanted to let Bo Zhaoxu know about the turmoil in Beijing were confined to Beijing by Prime Minister Bi Cheng, and the name of the United States did not worry Bo Zhaoxu.
"Lord Xie is only here with his wife, I don't know what happened to Ling Qianjin?"
Xiang Yeqi thought about it, and really couldn't think of anyone else who could be worthy of Lord Xie's hard fight and rescued him from prison, as for whether Lord Xie had social or selfish intentions in his heart, in fact, there was no need to be so meticulous.
