Chapter Ninety-Six: The Situation Is Chaotic
Although he entered the palace, he didn't gain anything, the palace was always peaceful and majestic, and he didn't hear anything big about what happened in the court. But as soon as he thought of Mrs. Shen, who knocked the cane at home, Jinshu sent Xia Aya to the mansion of the eldest princess of Fuqing, and asked about the news by the way under the pretext of caring for Wu Xiang, whose marriage was stranded.
Chunjuan also sent a little girl to find boiled beans, but there was still no news at all.
Even though his heart is as big as a brocade book, he began to panic. You can't go into the palace again to find her nominal cheap father emperor, right? Ask him: Hi! Dad, what are you doing with my husband?
Why don't you go to the fourth princess of the eldest princess and ask: I heard that my husband and your husband are working overtime together, and I have no news for three days, what about yours? But the two of them are not in a hurry, and there is no news? Especially the fourth princess, now as stable as the old dog as usual. She came to the door recklessly, what if she got into trouble?
Jin Shu frowned and made a sad face, he really hated less when the book was used, and he regretted finding someone to do things! If she had a good relationship with the eldest princess and the fourth princess, it wouldn't be so difficult......
In the blink of an eye, the sky was overcast, and the snow began to fall one after another.
When Wang opened the curtain and entered, Jin Shu was lying on the table in a daze. Wang glanced at the brocade book lying on the table in a daze, looked at the spring silk again, and then beckoned to the spring silk.
"What's the matter, but there's any news?"
Chunjuan took the Wang family to the inner room, and then lowered his voice and said: "Mrs. Hui, the slave sent Xiaofuzi to the place where the master of the horse was on an errand to ask quietly, but I didn't know anything. However, I heard from the colleague of the big horse that it was the emperor's urgent call, and he left in a hurry, so he didn't have time to say a word or two. ”
"No matter how urgent things are, there is no reason not to talk to your family!" Wang sighed: "Have you gone to the fourth princess of the eldest princess and asked?" ”
Chunjuan shook his head, and said in the direction of Jinshu: "The princess said, the Son of Heaven does things, there is no need to hide it." Since this matter is only for the horses to do, and it is not announced to the public, it must be inconvenient to say it clearly for a while. Moreover, the fourth princess is still sitting so steadily, so it can be seen that there is nothing to worry about. We go recklessly, and if something really matters, it's not good if we cause trouble. ”
"This ......" Wang thought carefully for a moment, and still sighed: "That's right, but the wife is worried about her husband, and it's understandable to ask for news." The saint is the princess's father, and he asks about the whereabouts of the concubine, which is always a matter of one sentence. If you ask clearly, you don't have to kneel in the ancestral hall to chant Buddha! ”
"Madam, how can the royal family look like an ordinary family?" Xia Aya heard the sound and entered, neither humble nor arrogant and wrote lightly: "If the sixth princess can ask the emperor like this, how can she be forced to ......marry in the first place" When Chun Juan heard this, she hurriedly and secretly tugged the corner of Xia Aya's clothes and signaled her not to say any more.
"......" Xia Aya's words made Wang speechless, she was ashamed and ashamed for a while, and quickly apologized: "It's really ...... I was care, but I was confused, just thinking about Zhizhang and my mother, and forgetting the princess's embarrassment. She thought about it for a while, and quickly fulfilled her words: "It's also that Zhizhang is not sensible, how can he not give an accurate message to his family for three days?" It's vague, where do you want us to find people? ”
"That's what Madame said. I guess it's urgent, right? The good old man played a round with spring silk: "Madame doesn't have to be anxious. First, the horse master is a capable person, and it is not the first time that he has not returned home for a few days. Second, the big pony and the four ponies are here, what can be important? ”
"Everyone understands the truth, but the current situation is not a little peaceful. This kind of quiet thing is the most worrying. It doesn't matter how many days Zhizhang goes out, what matters is that there is no movement, shouldn't this be? Wang said.
For a moment everyone was silent.
It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that an emergency notice from the palace woke up the entire capital.
I heard that the second prince who had been abolished slipped away at some point, and now he has absconded from the Northern Night Country and sought political asylum from his former father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The Northern Night Kingdom wrote a war letter to announce the world, intending to fight with the Great Liang. said that your Emperor Daliang did not have enough brains and did not defend loyalty and treachery, and said that your Prince Daliang was not kind enough to frame his younger brother. It is said that the Daliang people are not peace-loving, deliberately provoke national contradictions, and try to be the world hegemon, not only killing their eldest son Yu Wenbai, but also insulting their princess Yu Wennan.
But people also said that we are not fighting to take care of your family's affairs, but just to seek justice for our children. It's just that by the way, the second prince will be politically sheltered, so that he will kill two birds with one stone, and he will win in the future, the second prince is the emperor, and their daughter is still the queen, and the Northern Night Kingdom can also benefit a lot!
This incident was only learned about when the emperor accompanied his youngest son to do his homework a few days ago, and received an urgent report from the frontier. Before this, he knew nothing about the power of the second prince.
Therefore, the emperor was blown up right now, the second son has been running away for so long, and he, the father, doesn't know anything about it. And the person in charge of the caretaker at the bottom doesn't know. Such a big person, no one has found out about running out of the country, there is only one possibility, that is, the people who take care of the second prince are their own people.
When he thought about it, the emperor felt creepy. How long are the hands of the second prince? How many of the people who kneel and kowtow to him every day are the subordinates of the second prince? Besides, he doesn't know how deep the prince's water is. Did the boss frame the second child and force him out of the country, or did the second child want his son to beat him?
The emperor thought for a moment and immediately ordered a complete blockade of news. Arrested three sons-in-law of his own family and began to investigate the matter. The person who was in charge of investigating the rebellion of the second prince was interrogated overnight, the person in charge of guarding the second prince was used to find out the minions of the second prince, and the strength of the Northern Night Kingdom and matters related to the declaration of war.
Internal and external troubles appeared at the same time, and the emperor was embarrassed and nervous, so the emperor had to temporarily block the news, fearing that it would cause panic.
The robber took out the stick when he was gone. It wasn't until the emperor, dozens of ministers, and three sons-in-law pieced together the general outline of the matter and the state of crisis of the matter that the government and the opposition learned that the second prince had absconded from another country and that a war was imminent.
At the same time, Boiled Beans was finally able to run home and report Shen Zhizhang's whereabouts to Mrs. Shen in the past few days.
It wasn't until the evening of the seventh day that Shen Zhizhang returned home exhausted. His expression was solemn, he didn't say a word, his clothes were disheveled, his beard was blue on his chin, and his whole person looked unusually restless and sluggish. As if he had a lot of things in his heart, he seemed to be a few years older.
Although the spirit was not good, the people were safe and sound, and the Shen family was relieved. Jin Shu also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. It's that she doesn't care about herself anymore, and she lets Shen Zhizhang go, but in the end, she has feelings, and he doesn't show up for six or seven days, and she is also anxious.
Thinking of this, Jin Shu tilted his head slightly and whispered to Chun Juan: "Go and prepare bath water and clean clothes." Prepare some more simple food, and turn around to let him rest early. ”
Seeing Shen Zhizhang reluctantly smiling and comforting everyone, everyone also said a few words and told him to rest early. As soon as everyone withdrew, Jinshu said, "Tired, right?" You take a shower first" Before he could say anything, Shen Zhizhang restrained his smile and asked in a tough tone: "Did you meddle in Hou Zhanfei's affairs?" ”
Jin Shu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ”
