Chapter 104: Man-made Disaster

"The emperor doesn't know?" His own woman gave birth to a child and died, and the child brought poison from the mother's womb and almost died, so the wise and martial emperor didn't care?

"The emperor knows." Qin Huai took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed as he looked at the raging fire, if the emperor had found out the person behind the scenes, how could Ning Zhiyuan have embarked on such a rugged and bumpy road today? "At the beginning, the emperor only ascended the throne for two years, the foundation is stable, in order to win over the ministers, will canonize Concubine Chang Defei and others, Concubine Su is the daughter of Master Su of the Hanlin Academy, but after entering the palace for half a year, Master Su was demoted to Suzhou, at that time Concubine Chang gave birth to the eldest prince and the third prince, and the queen gave birth to the second prince The two were already competing, but at this time Concubine Su was pregnant, and the emperor even promoted Concubine Su from a talented person to a concubine, and it was not strange to be targeted by the women in the harem, Concubine Su had no background, At that time, the Marquis of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Changsheng were the left and right governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and at that time, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division was still under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Governor's Office, and it can be said that Luoyang was equivalent to the control of the two of them. ”

"So, the emperor can't be held accountable? This matter is dust to dust, and there is no follow-up? ”

"Hmm!"

Qin Huai let out a hmm, which made the atmosphere cool down again.

Du Yiyi couldn't help but think, how could there be such a ruthless and ruthless person in the world, seeing his woman being poisoned to death, seeing his son being poisoned and dying, but he was indifferent for the sake of his own power and power, no wonder Ning Zhiyuan did not have the respect that a son of man should have when he talked about the emperor, but had hidden disdain, it turned out that there was actually such a big gap between the two fathers and sons.

"Therefore, the emperor will be different from the prince and other princes, which is mostly based on guilt! Childe told me that he had never known about it, and he never even knew that his weak body was not because of premature birth but because of the poison that killed his mother, if he hadn't heard Chang Liu's words by chance, he would have always believed in the story that the palace people told him that his mother died for his premature birth, Childe has always been very guilty of Concubine Su, his life was exchanged for her death, if he didn't know about it, maybe Childe would live in his own world for the rest of his life, and guilt turned into resentment, Everything is different! These can be said to be the secrets of the childe, Qin Huai dared to tell the truth to his wife, just to let the lady know, and the son did not want to be like this, and the lady would have to bear with him more in the future! Suddenly, Qin Huai seemed to be no longer the obscure servant who followed Ning Zhiyuan, as if he had become Ning Zhiyuan's confidant.

These are the other side of Ning Zhiyuan that Du Yiyi has never seen, he originally thought he was ambitious, but it turned out to be just resentment. "It turns out that there are so many things in between, and he knew the truth of this matter, so he didn't go to the emperor to let him find out the truth? After all, now the Marquis of Zhenguo Chang Shenghou is no longer the original governor of the left and right! The Five Cities Terracotta Division has also been separated from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion! ”

"The prince entered the palace, the emperor reprimanded him for the first time, grounded for a month, three years ago Lin'an Hou rebelled, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace almost changed a batch, and those old people also died! There is no evidence to check! ”

Qin Huai's answer made Du Yiyi again, if it was said that the emperor did not investigate this matter for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji nineteen years ago, then what is it for now?

"Although there is no evidence, but at that time, there were only a few people who could attack Concubine Su, the queen, Concubine Chang, Concubine De, Concubine Chen, the emperor was unwilling to investigate, and the prince could only do it himself, so he wanted to participate in the seizure of the heir, and he would try his best to win over General Shen, madam, Qin Huai said something presumptuous, marrying the prince is more than a hundred times better than marrying the second highness, hehe...... The emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and he has never shown any mercy to his relatives and those who hinder him, if he hadn't forced Qin Guogong to be cornered today, how could he have triggered the rebels to attack the city! Benevolence and love for the people are just an illusion that he raised for his own lifetime of fame! This time, how many innocent people will be killed or injured in the capital! Alas............"

Qin Huai sighed, seeing that the raging flames were gradually extinguishing but he had no intention of adding firewood, in the past two years, he had traveled south and north for Ning Zhiyuan, but he knew Ning Zhiyuan's affairs best.

"Sure enough, everyone has a story behind them! There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason! Ning Zhiyuan is weak, and the court has no support, it is simply wishful thinking to win the heir, no wonder the emperor wants him to recuperate in Lingyin Temple! "Why is the emperor reluctant to investigate what happened back then? If this matter is investigated, isn't it a good opportunity for the emperor to restrain the Marquis of Zhenguo or the Marquis of Changsheng and the old ministers in the court? Why not check? Du Yiyi could vaguely guess a conjecture that was more painful than this conjecture.

Perhaps, the emperor was also involved in the matter of that year, so he didn't investigate it, and he didn't want Ning Zhiyuan to investigate. But what can the emperor get in this way?

When the friendship between father and son involves interests, no one can tell what happened in this unknown process!

One night, since they were silent, Qin Huai and Du Yiyi both fell into their own conjectures, one link after another, unable to justify themselves, and unable to completely reject their conjectures, time, in the process of burning into ashes one by one, passed quickly, it seemed that in a snap of a finger, the rooster in the chicken coop behind began to crow!

At the end of the night, the last piece of firewood had been extinguished, and the flames were smoking, Qin Huai picked up the pile of coals, and the bursts of dust raised made Du Yiyi choke a few times.

The couple sleeping in the room on the right hand side had already gotten up, and there was a sound of a bang in the room on the left, and Du Yiyi and Qin Huai came out of the room.

Ning Zhuan, who found that Du Yiyi was gone, was about to leave the house, and saw Qin Huai and Du Yiyi walking in from behind together, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he had slept on the table all night with a sore back and sat listlessly on the stool against the table, squinting his eyes, his hands were still in the warm quilt, obviously still dozing and not waking up.

I haven't slept all night, Du Yiyi also has dark circles under her eyes, and seeing Ning Zhiyuan's lazy posture, she only felt sleepy, and couldn't help yawning.

Last night's luggage was not unpacked, so it was only necessary to pack up and set off, and the couple at the head of the room had already gone out, the man was going to fetch water, and the woman was to this house.

"My family has gone to boil hot water! A few more wait, you can freshen up later! ”

Ning Zhiyuan was generous and extravagant, Qin Huai was taught by a son's wife, no matter how clumsy the woman was, she should know that this was a nobleman, she got that ingot of silver with white flowers yesterday, and she was overjoyed early this morning.

"No need, just get a basin of cold water, we are in a hurry, we bothered last night!" Ning Zhiyuan struggled and got up.

"Good! Good! Good! I'm going to fetch water! ”

The woman hawed her waist, smiled, brushed her sideburns, and went out.

"This night, I don't know what the situation is in the capital!" Ning Zhiyuan twisted his sore neck, turned his head, and noticed that there were two more beds on the bedding on the table, glanced at Du Yiyi, who had sparse eyes, and turned around casually and took out the medicine bottle in the baggage.

"If nothing happens, we should be able to arrive in the capital this evening!" Qin Huai had already asked the man at the head of the house about the itinerary to enter Beijing last night, although it was not far from the capital, but because the gate of the capital was now guarded and closed by two parties, these villagers who rarely went out did not know the changes in Beijing.

There was a sudden commotion outside the house, which provoked Ning Zhiyuan, who was sleepy and not awake, frowned and asked Qin Huai to go outside to take a look, Qin Huai was about to go out, and the woman with a basin of water hurriedly ran in with a panicked expression.

"Oh no, no!" The woman didn't even care about the etiquette of entering the door, and put the basin directly on the wooden shelf by the window. "Are you going to the capital? I can't go, don't go! This morning, Li Chuyi, who went to the capital to sell firewood in our village, came back, saying that now the capital is in chaos, and the army is more than 20,000! The gates are closed! No one will be allowed to enter, but don't go! That guy, I heard that it was Qin Guogong who rebelled, and there was a rumbling sound in the capital last night, I heard that this was the rebels with gunpowder in their hands, and even a few people who didn't know that they were dangling at the city gate were arrested for no reason, and Li Chuyi also gave up the cart and a cart of firewood to escape back! Tsk, what a pity, that's a full ten taels of silver! ”

The capital was riotous, but what the woman was worried about was only the cart of firewood, although Qin Huai had just said something disrespectful before, but when he heard that the people didn't care about the country and society, he still twitched the corners of his mouth.

In fact, the woman came to tell each other for another purpose, Ning Zhiyuan made a generous move, her news can be said to be life-saving, and this reward must be indispensable.

"What is the current situation in the capital?"

As she expected, Ning Zhiyuan was very nervous about the situation in the capital.

Where did the woman know the situation in the capital, she only knew that the person in front of her was the God of Wealth, she lowered her head slightly, and said in fear: "I heard that a lot of people died, the rumbling sound has been sounding for a long time, and the south gate of the city was also broken by the army from Yaozhou last night, and now you are standing outside the city, you can hear the sound of fighting inside!" ”

"What about the emperor now?"

It's been a day since the rebels entered the city the night before, isn't the battle over yet? The woman's description made Ning Zhiyuan more and more nervous.

"I don't know! No one can enter the city now! However, a lot of people were arrested, and the north gate of the city had been occupied by the rebels, and Li Chuyi also said that if he stepped forward to the city gate, the rebels would kill people without asking the reason! Hell on earth is nothing more than that! The woman looked at Ning Zhiyuan's expression as she spoke, seeing that he was attracted by what she was complaining, she was secretly happy in her heart, and immediately said what she thought in her heart: "Going to the capital now is equivalent to sending you to death, in my opinion, it is better for the son to stay for a few more nights, and wait until the war in the capital subsides before entering the capital!" What urgency is more important than life! The rebels don't blink an eye when they kill! ”

It's been a day and a night, the war has not stopped, it seems that the two armies are fighting each other, Yaozhou and the state of the rebels to support the rebels has entered the city, and broke through the south gate of the city, now the two sides are really half and half of each of the thousands of autumns, what about the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou and Qizhou? Gunpowder, so much gunpowder in the hands of the rebels, it is only possible to attack the palace! Has it really come to this point?

"Then there are no soldiers and horses from other states and counties to come to support? For example, Jinzhou and Ganzhou? Is there any news on this? ”

Li Chuyi didn't even care about the guy who was eating by himself and ran away, how much news could he know, as far as what the woman said, half and half of what she said was half-truthed and half-false, Ning Zhiyuan asked so carefully that the woman was stunned for a while and couldn't answer.

"It seems that we can't delay, let's leave immediately!"

Ning Zhiyuan knew that he couldn't ask for the news anymore, so he immediately rushed out of the house, Qin Huai thanked the woman and gave some broken silver, and also strode with Ning Zhiyuan to lead the horse.
