Chapter 418: Going to Beijing
Wen Zhen: "......"
I'm a dog.
"May I ask you, sir, why are you doing this?"
He snorted casually, stopped talking, turned over from her stomach, and his ass was facing her, and in a blink of an eye, the sound shook the sky.
It's not going to answer anymore.
Wen Zhen stared at his fat buttocks, and after thinking for a long time, he thought with a little shock, this rabbit cub would not be resentful, and felt that he would take out the jade jue to recognize him like this, and he would come and go as soon as he was called, thinking that why should this father admit it if he wants to admit it, and why can't he inspect his father? Is this trying to grasp the initiative of recognizing his father in his own hands?
No, can, right?
This idea is soybean, as for the thinking is so complicated?
Wen Zhen almost glared out of his casual buttocks, and he didn't understand what kind of stubbornness this kid who had always smiled and talked on the surface made this time, and finally sighed and thought Yan Sui, you asked for a lot of blessings, turned over and fell asleep.
Over there, I casually stuffed the fishbone Jue under the pillow, thought about it, took it out from under the pillow again, and stuffed it into my arms.
Wen Zhen slept for a while, closed her eyes and reached out to touch it, and sure enough, she touched a fat little foot, she was very skilled in a daze and stuffed the little fat hoof into the quilt and continued to sleep.
When Wen Zhen first took him to sleep, his health was poor, and he slept deeply, and he suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night several times, and saw this little rabbit cub with a bare belly and four forks, and the quilt had already reached the ground, and the next day he began to sneeze again.
If it is like a few times, Wen Zhen has learned to be obedient, even if he has a good dream, he can suddenly reach out and accurately touch his son's quilt is still there.
After a while, Wen Zhen, who was snoring from sleep, reached out again like lightning and accurately stuffed the fat little feet back into the quilt again.
After a while, a fat little foot crept out of the bed, and its toes moved in the cold air, and moved again, and made a V.
Wen Zhen's claws immediately rushed to the ground, and his feet immediately retracted quickly, opened one eye casually, raised his eyebrows, squinted at his mother, retracted his head into the quilt with satisfaction, and slept.
This time it was finally quiet.
The mother and son slept until midnight, Wen Zhen suddenly opened her eyes, and she heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
Her Thorn History Mansion, after several years, has become impregnable. Her Huzhou, after several years, is also in good order, not to mention not closing the house at night, it is also orderly, and no one will rush into her mansion at night.
Her heart pounded.
Something is wrong!
He sat up suddenly, and with a stretch of his hand, he pulled a seemingly inconspicuous strap hanging from the bed.
Then he pushed casually into the bed, and with a creak, the shelves in the bed opened, revealing a narrow slit just enough to allow a person to enter sideways.
casually opened his eyes, he was already awake, reached out and hugged Wen Zhen's arm, Wen Zhen leaned over and said in his ear: "Go down from here, the lights will be lit all the way, every time a lamp is on, you will take something under the lamp, every time a lamp is on, you will turn right, until you go to a place where there is no light, there will be someone waiting for you there, just follow him." ”
casually looked at her with dark eyes for a moment: "Mother, something is wrong, isn't it?" Will you come to me? ”
"Huzhou is mine. As long as I'm in Huzhou, nothing big will happen. If I'm not in Huzhou, you'll leave Huzhou. Wen Zhen hugged him, "Don't worry, my mother won't have an accident, you just need to protect yourself." If it's okay, I'll pick you up. Now, go for it. ”
She reached out to push, but casually let go of her, and rolled into the gap herself, and then the gap closed.
Wen Zhen was stunned and laughed, thinking that the child was like this, and he was much more relieved.
Then she got dressed and got up, specially put on an official uniform, from head to toe, neatly bunched.
As soon as she was dressed, there was a sharp knock on the door, and when she opened the door, she saw the wind in the courtyard mixed with a blank blank intrusion.
At first glance, I thought it was snowing, but I was thinking that this year's snow came so early, and then I saw that it was not snow, but a full court.
Her heart, which had been beating slightly, suddenly stopped moving.
The courtyard is full of people, above the black armor, are covered with white linen, the red tassel on the head has been replaced by a white tassel, first an official of the Ministry of Rites, but also a white linen clothes, presumably rushing for days, the white clothes have become gray clothes, holding a white hemp flag in his hand, and a big "mourning" word on the head.
Wen Zhen's mind boomed, and he reached out and held the railing under the porch.
Then I heard the official's voice hoarse and desolate: "...... On the ninth day of the winter month of the year of Dinghai, the emperor's illness gradually increased, and later due to the assassination of Lin Qing, the general of the border army, the third son of the emperor and the general of the border army, the emperor collapsed...... The crown prince ascended the throne before the coffin and changed the yuan to Ancheng...... Because a division reported that Huzhou Assassin Shi Wenzhen had a close relationship with the third son of the emperor, he ordered Assassin Shi Wenzhen to be suspended pending investigation, and the Huzhou Army was transferred to Jianzhou, and the Dingzhou Army and the Bannerman Guard immediately took over all kinds of defense ...... Huzhou"
The moment he heard the words "the third son of the emperor", Wen Zhen only felt that the blood in his brain rushed to the top of his head in an instant, and then landed with a bang, and the whole person seemed to be empty for a moment, and he didn't know where he was for a while.
Another rush of footsteps woke her up, and she turned her head to see Zhang Yue rushing in in a hurry, the two looked at each other, Wen Zhen immediately came to his senses and made a look at him.
Zhang Yue looked at the flag in his clothes, his face turned pale, and he received Wen Zhen's gaze and nodded slowly.
He has been by Wen Zhen's side for a long time, and now he is also a lot more sophisticated, listening to the official of the Ministry of Rites announcing the decree, although his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but speak immediately, glanced at Wen Zhen again, and said with his mouth: "You bear with it." ”
Bear with me, these people are forcing you, but Huzhou is yours, the people's heart is yours, as long as you endure it, no one can help you.
Wen Zhen shook his head slowly at him, and pressed his fingers down. He pointed to the Assassin's Mansion. He pointed to himself again and said a word silently.
Zhang Yue understood what she meant, and the corners of his eyes jumped. Reveal a look of pain.
Wen Zhen stared at him quietly.
Zhang Yue gritted his teeth, and lowered his eyes for a long time.
The two of them fought silently, but they didn't notice that in the house, the gap in the bed slowly opened again, and a pair of black eyes kept watching the movement in the yard.
He saw the white-armored soldiers with a cold and hostile face, and the fluttering mourning flags.
When he saw the man in white linen talking about "Huang Sanzi", his cheap lady who couldn't blink when the mountain fell, shook it.
He saw the strange and worried expression on his godfather's face when he heard the proclamation.
Then you get it.
The dark eyes blinked slowly.
Oh my cheap daddy.
You're a ...... Bad luck.
……
The official of the Ministry of Rites accepted the decree and looked at Wen Zhen: "Lord Assassin Shi, take the decree." ”
His posture seemed casual, but his whole body was tense, and the flag-bearers in the courtyard, all hands were on the hilt of the knife.
The guards of the Assassin's Mansion stood far away, their hands on the side.
The atmosphere was solemn, but Wen Zhen was silent for a long time.
She knew that presumably at this moment, the Dingzhou Army had been opened, the Bannerman Guard had gone to take over the city gate, and there should be someone in the Huzhou Army who had gone to announce the change of guards.
The emperor died violently, the crown prince ascended the throne, such a big news, they could hide it so tightly, she must be the first to rush over here, right?
If there is no one in the court to help the prince, she will never believe it.
But that's not enough.
Send an official of the Ministry of Rites, bring hundreds of flag guards, and issue an order to change the guard, you are sure that you can move her, the king of Huzhou?
There must be something else to rely on.
I don't know when it really snowed, and thin flakes of snow swirled down from the gray dome and landed on the cheeks of both sides, but they were not moved by their breath or melted.
Some snowflakes fell between each other and shattered in the blink of an eye.
The long silence was unbearable, the sweat of the official vest of the Ministry of Rites was wet one after another, like carrying a huge ice cube on his back in the cold wind, he came, it was a will to die, and this death could be exchanged for family glory, but the waiting for this period before death, in front of this unfathomable female assassin history of the court, such pressure is still unbearable.
It wasn't until Wen Zhen finally spoke slowly that his heart suddenly relaxed, but he heard her ask, "How is the third son of the emperor?" ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites trembled, he never expected that she would not shout injustice or anger, and the first sentence was to ask Yan Sui, and he hurriedly said: "The rebel sinner has already been imprisoned." The crime will be decided after the court has agreed. ”
Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What about the gods? ”
The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to look at each other, and lowered their eyes, "They have also been detained." ”
"With the people of the imperial court, lock up the two of them?" Wen Zhen's tone was not contemptuous, only curious.
"Your Excellency must want to see the token. The two sinners did not have any tokens on them. However, the Yiwang Mansion has been raided, and a thing was found in the Yiwang Mansion, maybe adults can recognize it after seeing it? "The man had a box delivered.
Wen Zhen took it, opened it, his heart trembled, and he immediately closed the box.
Inside is a piece of women's underwear, the kind made by Yan Sui herself.
That thing can only be done by Yan Sui, and only Yan Sui can do it, it must be placed in the most secret place of Yiwang Mansion, and it is impossible for anyone to touch it, but now it was taken by someone and sent to her.
For a moment, his heart was like numbness, but his face was not exposed at all, but his eyes widened slightly, and he said curiously: "This purse is exquisite, but it seems to be done by the embroidery lady of the palace." ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "It's good for adults to recognize it." ”
Wen Zhen put the box away and handed it to Caisang, who was waiting with his head down.
"Since there is a rebellion, there must be someone who has made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, who is this hero?"
"His Royal Highness King Yong rescued him in time and supported His Majesty to succeed to the throne. and refused His Majesty's hereditary replacement. ”
"How to deal with the funeral of the first emperor?"
"An edict has been issued to the generals of all states in the world and the border armies and state armies to enter Beijing. Oh, Wen Tingshi still has to postpone his departure, and when the suspicion is cleared, he can go to kowtow before Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace. ”
"The states of the world?" Wen Zhen keenly heard the question, "All? ”
“…… Be. ”
"Including Tang Jiyi?"
“…… Be. ”
"Can all three surnames be edicted?"
"We've all left."
Wen Zhen let out a long breath.
Wrong.
That's not right.
The official of the Ministry of Rites urged again, "Lord Assassin Shi? ”
At the same time, he glanced at Zhang Yue.
Wen Zhen sneered and squinted at the official, "Run to my territory and want to lock me up?" Did you eat bear's heart leopard gall? ”
As soon as she said this, the official breathed a sigh of relief - this is a normal reaction.
I am not afraid of Wen Tingshi's resistance, or in other words, I hope she will resist, as long as she resists, she will have a reason to take office.
Originally, His Majesty wanted to take Wen Zhen directly, but he would not leave Wen Zhen in public or private. However, Wen Zhen is too strong, and he governs Huzhou too well and is too popular with the people, causing His Majesty to become unknown, and if he is not careful, it will provoke a popular uprising. This must not happen.
So I can only force her, if there is a suspicion, we will check you, can you always do it? If we check on you, we will inevitably give you some humiliation, you can't stand it, and if you resist, we will have a reason.
It's just that this official has no bottom in his heart, after all, this mind is obvious, who is Wen Zhen? has never been an impulsive person, if she really endured it and sold it miserably, the court would fall into passivity.
His Majesty thought about it very much, or His Royal Highness King Yong smiled and said, there is no need to worry so much, as long as Wen Tingshi knows about this matter, it will definitely be as His Majesty wishes.
Although His Royal Highness King Yong has shown his wisdom and talent recently, this official still has no bottom in his heart, after all, standing on other people's territory, hearing Wen Zhen's tone at this moment, a smile appeared in his eyes, but the expression on his face was angry, he took a step back and said angrily: "What, Lord Wen, you can't resist the decree!" ”
Before he retreated into the crowd of standard-bearers, Zhang Yue suddenly rushed up with an arrow step, and said angrily: "Lord Assassin Shi, the first emperor died suddenly, and His Majesty first ascended the throne, it was a difficult time, as a feudal official, how could you be so disregarding the overall situation!" ”
The official was stunned, and then rejoiced.
It is said that Zhang Yue is upright and dedicated to the country, but now it seems that he will not deceive me!
Zhang Yue was originally a horse wash in the East Palace, but later voted for the camp of Wen Thorn History, this time His Majesty originally instructed that it was best to take it together, but considering that Wen Zhen and Zhang Yue were very loved in Huzhou, after taking Wen Zhen and then taking Zhang Yue, I was afraid that it would cause turmoil in Huzhou, and it would be difficult for the successor to take over Huzhou smoothly. Huzhou is now a fat fish, the people are abundant, and all taxes and production capacity resources are in the forefront of the states, and His Majesty is reluctant to throw away this piece of fat.
Now seeing that this person is really still a straight tube like bamboo, he suddenly said happily: "Lord Zhang of the capital is loyal to the country, and he has never been selfless, and when I see it today, it is really heartbreaking!" ”
Wen Zhen said angrily: "Zhang Yue! In vain, I believe in you to cultivate you, and at this time, do you want to betray me! ”
Zhang Yue's eyes widened and he was stunned: "My lord! Are you confused? The first emperor died suddenly, and His Majesty had just succeeded to the throne. As a feudal official, it is the proper meaning of the question to avoid suspicion. It's that Your Majesty has some misunderstandings, and it will be understood after a while. But if you openly resist the decree, doesn't this confirm your disobedience? My lord, it's for your own good! ”
Wen Zhen sneered: "Seeing that the wind has changed, this is in a hurry to join the new camp, right?" Without waiting for Zhang Yue, who looked aggrieved, to speak, he turned to the official and said, "If you want me to be suspended pending investigation, let me see the third son of the emperor first." ”
Official: "Lord Wen, you are a strong man's difficulty. The third son of the emperor is now detained in Tianjing to be beheaded, how can he come all the way to see you. ”
Wen Zhen took a breath: "Can't you come to see me?" Then I'll go see him! Come on, prepare the horses! ”
As soon as she gave the order, all sides responded violently. Immediately someone went to prepare the horses. Wen Zhen walked down the stairs quickly.
The officer shouted, "No one is allowed to leave!" ”
Wen Zhen was furious: "You dare to restrain my people in my territory!" ”
The official said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, if Wen Zhen dares to lead one person to leave the Assassin's Mansion by an inch, then all the entourage will be regarded as complicit!" Tianjing received the report and immediately cut Yansui! ”
Wen Zhen stopped.
She stood in the courtyard, with her back to everyone, she had lost a lot of weight in the past three years, but she had faintly grown taller, the delicate and delicate girl in the past, but the back in the wind and snow was thin and steep, and it was covered with snow and still not bent bamboo.
The court was silent, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were sweating again.
He hissed: "Master Wen, you don't care about your own life, don't you care about the small nine clans of the people around you?" Is this what they did after you? There are also the people of Huzhou, if you step out of this assassination mansion, even if it is the opposite, if your people come to protect you, they will be anti-thieves, and they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Dingzhou army, how many people can live! Even if you don't care about all of them, don't you care about the lives of His Royal Highness King Yi! ”
Wen Zhen was motionless, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at the flag bearer guards behind him, and motioned for them to stop those who went to prepare horses, but the flag bearers stepped forward, but those people did not retreat, obviously not moved by his words, as long as Wen Zhen needed them, they would still follow, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not expect Wen Zhen to have such a strong control over his subordinates, and thought that if she was really ruthless, she would really take the whole Huzhou to be buried...... This time I was so scared that I didn't even dare to sweat, so I could only say in a trembling voice: "You want to destroy Huzhou, you vicious woman......"
Wen Zhen turned around suddenly, and he suddenly stopped talking.
The eyes on the other side also seemed to be spinning the broken snow of tonight, without any temperature, eternally calm, "If, I don't rebel." But I must assassinate Shifu? ”
"You ......"
"I handed over the letter of the assassin and asked to resign. The official of the feudal territory resigned from his post and had to return to Beijing to report on his work, of course, this is considered a protest order, you put me in a prison car and escort me back. ”
Everyone was shocked and silent.
Zhang Yue: "My lord! ”
Wen Zhen: "What are you still calling me to do?" Haven't you already made your choice? ! ”
Zhang Yue closed his eyes.
His eyes were hot, and he didn't dare to cry.
At that moment, she had seen the situation clearly and made a decision.
For the sake of Yan Sui, she must return to Beijing, but the new emperor will never allow her to return to Beijing, and he will definitely threaten her with Yan Sui, so she can only give up everything and go to Beijing alone.
And with his relationship with her, if he is not careful, he may also be sent to prison. Only by playing a split scene let him gain the trust of the imperial court, so that he could take over Huzhou when the situation was unstable and the other party was short of manpower.
He took over Huzhou to ensure that her power was preserved to the maximum, and Huzhou was still her backing, even if it would still be replaced in the future, but if she stayed for a day, she would have the opportunity to move for a day.
The Ministry of Rites officials hesitated.
Wen Zhen's proposal was beyond his expectations, he didn't expect that Wen Zhen would really be able to do this for Yan Sui.
Staying in Huzhou and being under house arrest has the hope of sparing a life, but going to Beijing alone means going to death.
Just to confirm the life and death of His Royal Highness King Yi, she resolutely left everything.
Thinking of what His Royal Highness King Yong said before leaving Beijing, he was amazed in his heart, how did a noble person like King Yong, who doesn't ask about world affairs all year round, know His Royal Highness King Yi and Lord Wen so well?
But Wen Zhen was willing to give up his position of power and surrender to him, he naturally fell into the favor, but he was afraid of deception, so he hesitated to agree.
But seeing Wen Zhen waving his hand, not long after, there was a sound of cars rolling in, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the flag bearers were shocked, thinking that they didn't see anyone going out to give orders, why did there be cars and horses? Huzhou Assassin's control over Huzhou is still above his imagination, which requires Wen Zhen to order the execution of himself and others...... He was about to put on a defensive formation, but saw the sound of the car stop in front of the courtyard, the gate opened, and he saw a prisoner car.
Wen Zhen strode out, lifted his legs, stepped onto the prisoner car, and closed the door of the prisoner car with a click of his hand.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The quilt had already been laid out in the prisoner car, Wen Zhen sat comfortably in the quilt, and looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites: "This lord, I even brought my own prisoner car, what's the matter, do you still plan to ask me to drive the car and escort it myself?" ”
Only then did the officials of the Ministry of Rites react, and found that she was really here, and she said that she would leave, not wanting to alarm the place, and she had no intention of inciting public opinion in Huzhou, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but praise: "My lord really understands the righteousness." He and Wen Zhen assured, "Don't worry, my lord." The imperial court has not issued an order to deprive you of your official position, and along the way, you will take into account the overall situation, and the lower officials will not embarrass you. ”
Wen Zhen laughed and lay down on the quilt, "Naturally, I won't embarrass you." ”
When she said this, no one dared to argue. Cai Sang silently carried a small burden and squeezed it up, Wen Zhen looked at her and didn't stop her.
The official of the Ministry of Rites was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
The guards in the courtyard were silent, watching the prisoner cart roll out, and some people wanted to move, but were pulled by their companions.
Wen Zhen leaned on the futon and looked up at the wing, which was dark and quiet. She felt at ease, and she was obedient when it mattered.
Just now, I was actually afraid that he would suddenly rush out.
But there is also a faint sense of loss in my heart.
This time, the future is uncertain, and it is not even known whether we can see each other again.
Son, I'm sorry, my mother will leave you behind and go to find your father.
Don't blame mom for being selfish. In the past few years, hiding your identity has left you a lot of back roads, that is, there may be a day when you follow us two dangerous elements, I am afraid that there will be no peace, it is better to separate you as soon as possible, give you a peaceful life, if your father and mother can survive the misfortune in the future, we will always have a day of reunion; If not...... You will grow up in this splendid mountain wilderness.
She closed her eyes and locked the mansion she had lived in for nearly three years.
Locked Zhang Yue's tearful face in the dark.
Leave the sad and indignant look in Huzhou in the first snow of the year.
The prisoner cart drove out of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.
The cold wind howled, and there was silence on all sides.
The standard-bearer who was escorting him suddenly stopped. Wen Zhen opened his eyes and heard Cai Sang's low whisper.
