Chapter 142: A catastrophe is coming
Fortunately, those people just paid attention to her and did not catch up with her for interrogation, otherwise, the punishment for violating the palace ban would still be light, and if the emperor was angry, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death with a stick.
Xiao Zi tried his best to go to the shade of the tree, trying to avoid the sight of others, until he was far away from the palace gate, then the hanging heart fell back into his stomach, taking advantage of the night when there was no one, he peeled off several layers of clothes and went straight to the Xiangfu with his clothes.
The door of the Xiangfu was open, and Xiao Zi didn't have time to greet the guards at the door, so he ran in directly, caught a person and asked, "Where is Xiangye?" ”
"Xiangye is in the study." The servant replied.
Cui Yan was always inexplicably flustered in his heart since he asked General Mo to take the talisman to transfer the army, and he didn't know why, but if he really wanted to say why he was flustered, it was mainly because things had developed so far, and his feud with Wei Lin really couldn't be resolved.
"Xiangye, are you there? Xiao Zi begged to be seen. Xiao Zi didn't dare to break into the study, and respectfully reported at the door.
Cui Yan didn't expect Xiao Zi to be in the prime minister's house at this time, and replied in wonder: "Come in." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Zi to salute, Cui Yan asked, "But is there something wrong with your mother?" ”
"Yes, Xiangye, Niangniang asked the slave maid to inform Xiangye that Cui Mao appeared in the palace today." Xiao Zi said.
Cui Yan immediately stood up and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Cui Mao appeared in the palace? How could he be in the palace? What about you mothers? Did you catch him? ”
Xiao Zi shook his head, his expression was very embarrassed: "He came out of the emperor's Yanyang Palace, and the direction was out of the palace, and my mother and I only saw the back, and only afterwards did we remember that the person was Cui Mao." ”
"Coming out of the Burning Sun Palace?" Cui Yan frowned, how could the emperor have a connection with Cui Mao? "Can you see that?"
"At least eight points of conviction." Xiao Zi said: "Niang Niang guessed that the emperor was not satisfied with Xiang Ye's unauthorized promotion of Bo Gongzi to the general of the southern realm, so it will be like this, Niang Niang let the slave maid out of the palace and listen to Xiang Ye's meaning." ”
"The emperor has a private connection with Cui Mao?" Cui Yan muttered, and then Cui Yan shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm afraid that the emperor is not only dissatisfied with his own power abuse, but also that he has planned it early." ”
He said that how could Cui Mao have the courage to dare to kill his son, it turned out that this guy was secretly colluding with the emperor behind his back.
"What does the emperor want to plan?" Xiao Zi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Isn't it the emperor?" ”
Cui Yan nodded, "I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion will be inescapable." ”
"What then? Xiangye, you should find a way to explain to the emperor, hasn't the emperor always trusted you? He? How could he have moved the idea of removing the Prime Minister's Mansion? Xiao Zi's most fearful thing was affirmed by Cui Xiang, and he was nervous.
She grew up with Niangniang in Xiangfu since she was a child, although she is a slave, Xiangfu is also her home, if the home is gone, where will she and Niangniang still have a place.
"Since the emperor has already moved the plan to get rid of me, how can he listen to my explanation, it's just ......" Cui Yan's eyes sank, "If he gets rid of me, how can I let him slaughter?" ”
He is not General Situ, he has no precautions against the emperor, he is afraid that he will one day follow in the footsteps of General Situ, so he will monopolize power in the court, in order to let the emperor cast a mouse and rely on him, and will not be tempted to get rid of him.
However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and there is no room for anyone in his eyes, Cui Yan sneered.
"Xiangye, you want to oppose the emperor, Xiangye, you must not do this, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans." Xiao Zi listened to Cui Xiang's tone, if the emperor was unkind to him, he would definitely be unjust, so frightened that she grabbed Cui Xiang's arm and persuaded her again and again.
Cui Yan shook Xiao Zi away and said coldly, "What? If he wants to kill me, won't he let me resist? ”
He has an army of 500,000 in his hands, and he wants to see how the emperor moves him?
Wait, his talisman?
The talisman was taken away by General Mo, Cui Yan suddenly remembered this, suddenly panicked, and shouted: "Talisman, talisman, come on, go and chase the talisman." ”
General Mo has been gone for four hours, where can he catch up again.
"It's over." Cui Yan sat slumped in his chair, he said Why did the emperor suddenly move his killing thoughts to him, it turned out that he had designed it step by step.
Two people came in at the door, clasped their fists and saluted: "Xiangye, what are your orders?" ”
Xiangye was in a hurry just now, but they didn't hear it clearly outside, so they came in to confirm the task.
"Xiangye asked you to chase the talisman back, go quickly." Xiao Zi saw that Xiang Ye had lost his soul, and dared to speak for Xiang Ye.
"No need to chase." Cui Xiang got up slowly, leaned on the table and choked, "You guys each run for your lives, the Prime Minister's Mansion is about to be in trouble." ”
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other, and Xiao Zi shouted in panic: "Xiangye." ”
Cui Yan turned around, "Xiao Zi, don't enter the palace, take this and escape, the farther you escape, the better, and when the right opportunity arises, you will hand over these things to General Wei." ”
Cui Yan handed the letter written under the desk to Xiao Zi, and repeatedly advised: "You must keep it and give it to General Wei." ”113
"Xiangye, Xiao Zi won't escape, Xiao Zisheng is a member of the Xiangfu family, and death is a ghost of the Xiangfu family." Xiao Zi cried and showed his loyalty.
"Don't be stupid, run away." Cui Yan pushed her out of the door, "Remember, don't enter the palace." ”
"But the mother ...... "Xiao Zi is willing to give up her mother."
"Leave her alone, it's one to live." Cui Yan was really going to be angry with this girl, "Hurry up." ”
The Prime Minister's Mansion is in chaos, and the Prime Minister's Mansion without any warning has become a pot of porridge, I don't know who said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is going to be in great trouble, and the people have packed up their clothes, and the gold and silver are soft and ready to flee for their lives.
Seeing this, several ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion scolded the rumors to confuse the public, how could a great disaster come, even if the emperor does not dare to move the Prime Minister's Mansion today, who has the courage to let the Prime Minister's Mansion come in a big disaster? It's a big joke.
The subordinates were scolded by a few ladies, and they also thought it was, but before they could calm down, the Prime Minister personally spoke: "Run, if you can escape, one can escape." ”
Xiangye has spoken, how can these subordinates not run away, you squeezed me and shoved all ran outside.
The fourth lady couldn't believe it, "Xiangye, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiangye has always been stable, why is he so reluctant today?
"Xiangye, what happened to you?" The eldest lady also asked.
"The talisman is gone, and the emperor is going to punish our prime minister." Cui Yan didn't hide it from his ladies, and it was useless to hide it, how many eggs were there under the nest? The emperor punished him for his crimes, and none of his clan's clans could escape.
"Did Xiang Ye lose the talisman? Even if it is lost, the emperor will not want to cure the sin of the prime minister, right? It's a big deal to redo it. "What else is the second lady to do, it's just a loss of a talisman, and it's not a big crime, is the prime minister scared like this? Cause such a big panic.
"Xiangye, you mean? You mean? Soldier Fu ...... "The eldest lady knows what the meaning of the soldier charm is gone, and the absence of the soldier charm is equivalent to the loss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is really a catastrophe."
"Cui Mao betrayed his true appearance, and General Mo also betrayed his true appearance, madam, I underestimated the enemy, and the emperor planned to get rid of me a year ago." Cui Yan was deceived by the emperor's appearance.
This year, the emperor obeyed him in everything, and he thought that he was ...... thought that the emperor was easy to control, but it turned out that the emperor pretended to be weak and just let him fight the fire fan.
"Is our Prime Minister's Mansion really going to end?" The fourth lady's eyes were dark, and she almost fell, she had just killed her son, and now that the pain has not healed, the prime minister's mansion is about to suffer a big disaster? Why is she so miserable?
"No, the emperor won't treat us like this, father, the emperor trusts you so much, how can he get rid of you, you are the prime minister of the court, and the emperor has to rely on you to help him deal with the government." Cui Xiao didn't believe that the emperor would get rid of her Cui family, "I'll go into the palace to find the emperor." ”
"Xiao'er, don't go." Cui Yan stopped her, "Don't you understand?" The emperor didn't like you very much before, why did he suddenly spoil you this year? He...... It is to praise you as lawless, with no one in your eyes, use you to design General Wei, and then use General Wei to design me. ”
"No, it won't. The emperor wouldn't do this to me. Cui Yu cried and shouted.
"Will or not, we'll know soon." Cui Yan's heart was like ashes, he knew that the emperor was not credible, and he had always been cautious, but he still fell into the maze of the emperor pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
He knew that the power could save his life, but he could also make the emperor taboo, why was he so careless?
Now he is a person who abuses his power and oppresses the heroes in the mouth of the people, and the people hate the officials, and he deserves it until he dies.
"Then let's run away." The eldest lady knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly pulled Cui Yandao.
Cui Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Escape? Where can we escape? A few days ago, the emperor asked me to change the city defense, and I changed it, at this time, the soldiers guarding the city are all the emperor's people, and my army has been transferred to the south by General Mo to suppress it, can we still escape? ”
His military camp is also hundreds of miles away from the capital, Mo said that he has no military talisman at this time, even if he has, it is far water can not save the near thirst, no wonder the emperor rushed to discuss with him about the southern border, it turned out that he had been thinking about using the southern border to let him go out of Beijing, so that he had no capital to resist, the emperor's plan is really a link.
"You have always said before that the important thing for a minister is to save the lives of the whole family, but now you are soaring to the sky, but you let the emperor calculate, Cui Yan, have you lived too comfortably in the past two years?" The eldest lady began to blame Cui Yan.
The eldest lady is right, he is too smooth, the emperor obeys him, no one in the court dares to confront him, and the whole country of Pi respects him, but everyone knows that this is the mist array set by the emperor, which makes him forgetful.
The Imperial Palace, the inner chamber of the Hall of the Burning Sun.
The emperor caressed the talisman handed in by Mr. Cui, and he really couldn't put it down.
Cui Zongguan: "Your Majesty, since you have a military talisman, it is better to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and Cui Yan has no power to resist if you think about it." ”
"There's no hurry." The emperor said leisurely: "How many years has he made it difficult for me to sleep at night?" It's also time for him to get a taste of what it's like to be sleepless at night. ”
Manager Cui nodded in agreement: "What the emperor said is very true, thinking that after he Cui Yan became the prime minister, he took advantage of the emperor's negligence to secretly seize the military power, and looked like he couldn't be beaten, so he should have a good taste of the fear and despair in the heart of a lamb to be slaughtered, and let him reflect on how he could sleep peacefully on the dragon couch." ”
"Hahaha......" The emperor laughed: "Cui Mao, Cui Mao, I like you more and more, and you are the only one in the world who understands me and is loyal to me." ”
If it weren't for the ingenious arrangement of Manager Cui, it would not have been so easy for the emperor to get rid of Cui Yan.
