Chapter 62: The Civil and Military Court (1/2)
The entire Longya Prefecture capital was depressed, and the officials of all sizes were silent, standing with their heads down, not daring to speak, including Yan Jing, the disciple of Lao Shangshu, and Liu Ding, the guard, all lost their former composure in their hearts.
The emperor's eldest grandson, Li Changxing, disappeared.
The assassination was a big enough thing to lose the official hat.
Now he was snatched away by a person who didn't know his identity at all, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
At this moment, it is still autumn, the autumn tiger is still there, and the residual heat is scorching, but Yan Jing and Liu Ding only feel that a cold air is entangled on their backs, and sweat soaks their backs. They had been fighting here for two hours, but the county guard still had no intention of giving them a reply, and they had no complaints, and they still stood honestly.
Li Changxing's two dead soldiers, the last old man surnamed Zhou, were in the inner room at the moment, his face was dark, the latter was still more worried than anxious and afraid, the two dead soldiers were already as white as earth, their sideburns and hair were wet with sweat, and they had never dried up, and they had already thought of their fate in their minds, all kinds of misery, flashing in turn.
The eunuch Ren Dong walked from the outside with a white face, and the three people in the room all looked up at him in unison, the young eunuch pursed his lips, his hands were wrapped in his cuffs, and cold air almost oozed from his voice, and said:
"The news has been reported to the capital."
"The four of us will go back to the palace and wait for the prince to fall."
The faces of the two dead men trembled, and their spirits suddenly declined.
The old man said, "Your Royal Highness, ...... that little highness."
Ren Dong interrupted: "Mr. Zhou." ”
The eunuch's expression was cold and without any emotion, and said: "Your Highness was robbed by us in our hands, how to find it back after that, how to protect Your Highness, it's none of our business." ”
"Do you think that's the reason?"
The old man's lips trembled, and he sighed, his face full of frustration and faint pain.
Ren Dong turned his head, put his hands in his cuffs, turned his back to the three of them, and said softly: "Let's leave for Beijing this afternoon, rush overnight, and meet the crown prince and princess earlier." ”
pushed the door out, with a cold face all the way, no one dared to look directly at this white-bearded palace person.
It was not until he got to a certain room that he closed the door, Ren Dongcai stretched out his right hand that had been hidden from the wide sleeved robe of his right hand, practicing the internal strength of the Taiyin Method, he should have been cold all over his body, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, but at this moment his hands were full of delicate sweat.
In his hand, he had a heavy token, all ink-colored, with a tiger's head swallowing on one side and three large characters with sharp strokes engraved on the other.
"Shenmu Mansion ......"
Ren Dong muttered the above three words in a low voice, thinking of the blue-shirted young man who had stopped dozens of masters of the Western Regions rivers and lakes by himself before, he exhaled in his heart, and his tense spirit relaxed, and the whole person staggered and sat on the chair, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
I couldn't help but think in my heart that Li Changxing didn't fall into the hands of the remnants of the Six Nations, it was always good.
Thinking of this, he almost cried with joy, but the Shenwu Mansion Lord snatched Li Changxing away, I don't know what happened, thinking about the various situations that may occur, my heart couldn't help but be a little tense, and I just wanted to rush directly into Tianjing City in one go.
But he thought that the rest of the six countries were all fierce people who were not afraid of death, and if he was seen to have any problems at this time, Li Changxing might fall into an even worse situation, so he forcibly stopped his thoughts, sat on the chair, and waited until the afternoon before leaving Longya Prefecture with the remaining three.
The worst martial arts of the four people have already entered the Dragon Gate, ignoring the consumption all the way and walking against the qi.
There was no one to stop along the road, although the road was far away, but before the middle of the moon, he still rushed back to Tianjing City, and the guards all the way seemed to have received an order, let go of the layers of guards, and let the four of them enter, at this moment the prince's mansion was brightly lit, and the two dead men and the old man surnamed Zhou were left outside the door, and only Ren Dong was allowed to enter.
Ren Dong knelt down almost instantly, his forehead slamming to the ground.
There were three people in the room, even the prince was just sitting on the side, and the other old man who was sitting with him had white hair, wrinkled faces, and a kind smile, but he held one-third of the power of Great Qin, and he was an old Shangshu whose name was only a little worse than that of Zhou Fengyue of Great Qin.
The temples of the man with extraordinary bearing at the top have been slightly white, and only a pair of eyes have become more and more calm with time, making the whole room like the sea before the storm, which makes people breathless, and the emperor of the current Great Qin took a deep look at Ren Dong, and waved his hand:
"What happened, let's talk about it carefully......"
Ren Dong promised, did not dare to raise his head, took out the heavy token from his cuffs, held it with both hands, and the old Shangshu Changsun Nian got up to get it, the prince had already taken the token one step earlier, and handed it to the emperor at the top of the first place in a few steps.
The Emperor took the token and saw the three big characters on it.
The huge pressure like before the storm dissipated a lot in an instant, and he threw the token on the table next to him, and said calmly:
"Tell me about it."
"No."
Ren Dong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and told everything that happened, and after finishing speaking, he fell to the ground and didn't dare to speak, until a moment later, he was ordered to retreat, and he was imprisoned in the courtyard of the prince's mansion with two dead soldiers and the old man surnamed Zhou.
The emperor's fingers gently stroked the three words of Shenwu Mansion and said:
"This token was cast with the essence of the world's hardware when I was crowned, and this is the only side in the world."
"When I was young, I often tied a ribbon around my waist behind my elbow, and later gave it to Wang Tiance, after Wang Tiance's death, it should have been on Liwu's body, and then it came to the hands of Wang Tiance's son, which went around and around, and finally returned to my hands."
"Originally, I planned to let Changxing go to the first village to form a good relationship with the current owner, but I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns, Shenwu Mansion...... I didn't expect that the one who kidnapped my grandson was actually Wang Tiance's son? ”
The emperor, who had been riding the world since he was young, couldn't laugh or cry on his face, and gritted his teeth.
"Is this a bad fate?"
"My Li family and his Wang family are really entangled?"
Wu Zi was a little angry for a moment, then looked at the old man sitting on the side, and said, "Old Shangshu, this time the matter is no matter how much it involves the royal face, and I am afraid that your student's career will be implicated." ”
Lao Shangshu stroked his beard and said softly:
"All the officials are vassals of His Majesty, and they should be punished if they hurt the royal face."
"Your Majesty, where is it to take care of my old man's face? If you can't rule strictly, it will make the old minister ashamed, and he will no longer have the face to face his colleagues in the DPRK and China. ”
The voice paused, and then said:
"This time, I was going to let His Royal Highness walk around the rivers and lakes, and it would be good if he could suffer some losses, but I didn't expect that in the end, he would be connected with the Lord of the Shenwu Mansion, and the Shenwu Mansion has a close relationship with the court, so I don't think it will harm His Royal Highness, but will send His Highness back to Tianjing City."
"However, with the martial arts of the Lord of the Shenwu Mansion, he still hasn't returned His Highness at this moment, I'm afraid I plan to take His Highness on a trip to the rivers and lakes and a trip to the people."
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let him go." ”
"It's too little to be able to walk for a month, it's enough to be satisfied if you can go for a long time, it's not too long, I longed for the rivers and lakes when I was young, but it's a pity that I don't have such a master to accompany me, and I don't dare to go out of the palace at will, I can have such an opportunity, I am a little envious of this grandson."
The emperor raised his hand to stop the prince's words, took another sip of tea, and said:
"This was pressed in advance, and for the time being, it was said that Changxing had been brought back."
"After that, let a dead man with a similar body shape and appearance to Changxing live in the prince's mansion, and enter the palace every day to study the classics, all the same as in the past."
The two naturally agreed, and the prince was sent out to comfort the princess, who was still crying at the moment.
There was only one monarch and one minister left in the house.
The emperor laughed and said: "It's hard to say that the child is here, no matter how big this matter is, it is just a small family matter, and now the civil and military affairs have made me have a headache, and I really have no intention of dealing with such a small child's matter." ”
The eldest grandson stroked his beard, and his expression was much more solemn.
The emperor dipped his finger in the tea, sketched it on the table at will, and said: "Sima Coo has been confronting Northern Xinjiang for two months, and the battle line has advanced, connecting the nails laid before and forming a pocket one by one, just waiting for the Northern Frontier Eagle to ride in and invite you into the urn." ”
"The other side has suffered a lot of losses, but it's a pity that Shan Xinglan stood out in front of the formation and suppressed the rout of the former army in Northern Xinjiang, otherwise with Sima Wrong's temperament, this time Northern Xinjiang would have to eat a large piece of territory for him with belt meat."
"If Wang Tiance is here, he can fight faster, but he is not good at defending."
"But after entering the territory in Sima Cuo's mouth, Northern Xinjiang will not pay a greater price elsewhere, and he will not want to take it back."
The eldest grandson said: "Among the famous generals of Great Qin, Sima Cuo is not an attacker, nor is he the best at defense, but he is the most able to take advantage of the general situation, the old minister has known him for a long time, and he has indeed never suffered any losses." ”
The Emperor smiled and sighed:
"Yes, his face is calm and honest, but he is more shrewd than anyone else."
"The northern frontier is handed over to him, I can really put my mind at ease and give him up, at this moment, the rest of the generals of Great Qin may have to double the reinforcements in order to suppress the offensive of Shan Xinglan in the northern frontier."
The eldest grandson stroked his beard and said:
"The Hun King of Northern Xinjiang is ambitious, but his talent is slightly insufficient."
"Shan Xinglan is so trying to turn the tide, I'm afraid I don't like him."
The emperor nodded, the two of them said some political affairs, the lamp oil continued several times, and waited until the east outside lit up with a fish belly white, then he still got up and left, the laughing tiger Li Sheng opened the curtain for the emperor, the emperor glanced at the east before getting into the car, the eldest grandson Nian respectfully saluted in the distance, and the sun pulled out a long shadow behind the old man.
He still hadn't said that thing today, but now he couldn't stop muttering in his heart:
"Jiang Shouyi, Jiang Shouyi......"
"Committing the great disrespect of the world, and wanting to demolish the foundation of the family's thousands of years of flesh and bones with his own strength, has aroused the anger of the public, and the ministers are so angry."
"What do you want me to do, how do you treat you?"
