Chapter 190: Pingcheng is waiting to be driven
The sweltering heat in July is not an uncomfortable thing for Ji Rui'er, who escaped from Haojing, and the most important thing is that she has escaped from Haojing and the monitoring of such an old minister.
She can do what she wants to do, not a bargaining chip.
If she really wants to go to Wuyan Country, it is also what she wants to go.
When the chariot chasing the princess drove all the way through the passes, they did not think that the princess might not be in a hurry.
Zhou Yao stopped at Pingcheng, and he remembered the emperor's explanation to him before leaving.
"If you don't see the princess all the way, then you might as well stay in Pingcheng for a while."
He didn't understand what this sentence meant at the time, why did he let himself wait in Pingcheng, since he didn't catch up all the way, wouldn't the princess have already left Tongyun Pass and entered the territory of Wuyan Kingdom.
How can you still stay in Heijo?
He also went to see Hua Shao before leaving Beijing, although the time was in a hurry, but a hurried moment outside the city gate still benefited him a lot.
Hua Shao listened to his relay, only thought about it for a while, and then replied, "If you listen to Your Majesty, he will naturally have a trick."
We, His Majesty the Emperor, are getting better and better at the level of calculation.
What's more, behind him is Concubine Yun Niangniang who is giving advice. ”
"What does this have to do with Concubine Yun?" Zhou Yao was very puzzled, "Could it be that Your Majesty went to Concubine Yun to discuss everything?" ”
Hua Shao waved his hand, "Go ahead, don't think about these useless things."
It is incomparable to bring the princess back safely. ”
Zhou Yao recalled the scene at that time, and he was still puzzled, and he didn't know what news Hua Shao had gotten, so he was sure that he would be able to chase the princess back.
Along the way, let alone not seeing the princess, even the envoy of the Wuyan Kingdom did not see a trace.
I don't know if they deliberately hid their tracks, changed their carriages and horses, or whether they simply didn't go to the nearest and fastest official post.
A few days after arriving in Pingcheng, Zhou Yao saw the report that Concubine Shu had died.
The newspaper said that when Concubine Shu was outing in Fengming Mountain, she stumbled and fell into the Forgotten Spring, and unfortunately died.
"Could it be that this is the emperor's trick to use this to trick the princess back?"
Zhou Yao asked himself in his heart, but the newspaper was written in black and white, but it clearly didn't look like a fake.
The Hongyin Dynasty is the most benevolent and filial piety, if the emperor makes a fuss about the life and death of his biological mother, I am afraid that those old ministers will not agree.
What's more, the officials who admonished the wind did not eat white rice, if so, it was really an unfortunate coincidence that Concubine Shu died at this time.
Now I hope that the princess's party has not yet arrived in Pingcheng, and everything is still in time.
As long as the princess hears the news that Concubine Shu is dead, she will definitely rush back.
How can there be a reason for a daughter not to treat her mother's funeral.
But how can the princess know the news?
Zhou Yao was worried, this is not something that ordinary people can see the Di Bao.
Just when he was worried about this matter, there was a report from Chang Sui, "There is a man outside who came to hand over the post, and it seems that he said that Haojing is here."
I don't know if adults see it or not? ”
Since Zhou Yao was in charge of the military department, except for his colleagues in the ministry, he has rarely interacted with the ministers of the DPRK and China, also to reduce suspicion.
Especially after following a trip to Ziyun Mountain, in just a few months, he was promoted again, which made others envious.
Zhou Yao won the trust of the emperor and took out the errand to find the princess, this matter was originally secret, he hurriedly greeted in the ministry, saying that he was going to supervise the holy mission, and even provoked many people to eat a jar of dry vinegar.
In fact, where is there an easy holy errand, you always have to find the right person, and you have to endure a lot of hardships.
In July, those people did not hide in the house and shake their fans, eating melons and fruits from the well, but they had to squat in this peaceful city where the yellow sand could not be blown endlessly.
I really don't know if it's the grace of heaven or the tempering of him.
Now, who is chasing here to see him?
Zhou Yao didn't think much about it, and when he opened the post, there was no seal in it, only three words written in a hurry.
You don't have to look carefully, it's the three words Dinghaihou.
Zhou Yao hurriedly greeted himself, and the level of Dinghai Marquis was much higher than himself, although the position of Penn Zhou Mu was just a foreign official who ruled a state and county, and when he saw a Beijing official, he always had to be polite.
But the name of the Marquis of Dinghai is unusual, the prince Bozinan, except for a few old ministers who founded the country, were named dukes by Emperor Taizu, and this case has not been opened since.
Among these nobles with different surnames, the marquis is the largest.
Although Zhou Yao entered the office late, all kinds of rules were still engraved in his heart early.
In the past few years of joining the Hualang Society, inside and out, he has taken care of a lot of things for Hua Shao, not to mention anything else, it is the New Year's gift, and he has already made these titles and titles clear.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a cart and a horse, and there was no one to do.
Zhou Yao was stunned, "Is this really Dinghaihou's car?" He asked himself in his heart, but when was it, and when he saw the Codex, there would be no mistake.
Zhou Yao came to the car and hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to Haihou." ”
Dinghaihou lifted the curtain and looked at it, "No need to be polite, please General Zhou come with me." ”
Zhou Yao saw that Dinghaihou was not wearing official clothes, but was dressed in daily clothes.
Dressed in an azure brocade shirt, the pattern is ordinary, but a gorgeous jade belt is tied around his waist to show his extraordinary identity.
Look at that face again, like jade, there is no sweat stain in the summer, only feel the coolness on the face, obviously there is a polite smile on the corner of the mouth, but there is an inviolable awe.
The beauty that everyone praises, but I don't know where to hide, so that people can only see his coldness.
"Don't dare to be it, Zhou hasn't been called a general yet."
"It's almost the same when I go back this time." Dinghaihou's eyes flashed slightly, as if there was a promise, an encouragement, and a trace of imperceptible appreciation.
"I don't know where Dinghaihou took Zhou?" Zhou Yao had seen Dinghaihou in Haojing, and now that he saw him lightly, he must have something secret to do.
Thinking about the heavy responsibility of waiting for the princess on his shoulders, he didn't dare to leave the place where Pingcheng was guarding easily.
"General Zhou doesn't want to know where the nobleman is now?"
"Ah...... Nobleman, you mean? Zhou Yao snorted lightly, it turned out that this Dinghai Marquis was also here to do the same errand.
"It turns out that the emperor's trick is Lord Dinghaihou, and he is just staring at the princess and not going out of Pingcheng." After figuring out the joints, Zhou Yao began to feel a little sorry for himself.
It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is not good to him, but Lord Dinghai Hou is deeply favored.
"Yes, all listen to the orders of Dinghaihou."
Zhou Yao let go of all kinds of resentment in his heart, and now as long as he follows Dinghai Hou to find the princess and send it back to Haojing, even if he has completed this holy mission, it is better not to think about anything else.
