Chapter 106 (Three Watches)
Hua Yan got into the carriage, and only then did she feel very tired, and she was really a little overdrawn. Thinking that Wu Weihou is Wu Weihou in the end, meeting and talking with him this time is tantamount to being more tiring than fighting a tough battle.
However, he was surprised that Yun Chi did not rush to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion to stop her plan, she didn't think that he hadn't gotten the news, it wasn't that he couldn't be held back by something, or that he had already planned what idea to deal with him.
She expects the former.
The carriage went all the way back to the East Palace, it was late at this time, and after getting off the carriage, Hua Yan said goodbye to the fifth prince and the eleventh prince, and then entered the Hanging Flower Gate.
After all, the eleventh prince was still young, and after Huayan's figure disappeared, he lowered his voice and said to the fifth prince, "Fifth brother, what should we do?" Is it leaving? Or do you want to find the fourth brother to meet and talk about today's events? ”
The fifth prince thought that he had sent someone to send a message to Yun Chi earlier, but he had never received a reply, so he pondered for a moment and said, "It's not dark yet, let's meet the fourth brother." ”
The eleventh prince nodded and asked Steward Fu, "What about the fourth brother?" Can you go back to the palace? ”
Steward Fu hurriedly replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not come back yet, and it is said that he is still in the council hall." After the words fell, he glanced at the sky, "At this hour of the day, His Highness has returned, and today must have been delayed by something." ”
The fifth prince bowed his head and said to the eleventh prince, "Let's go, let's go to the council hall to find the fourth brother." ”
The Eleventh Prince nodded.
The two left the East Palace and headed for the Council Hall.
Although it was getting late, there were many people waiting at the gate of the council hall, including people from the military department, people from Zongzheng Temple, and people from Honglu Temple. A rough sweep of it is twenty or thirty people.
Seeing this, the fifth prince's face suddenly became solemn, and he said to the eleventh prince, "Something should have happened, you go back to the palace first, and I will also go back to the house, and I will find time to talk to the fourth brother tomorrow." ”
The eleventh prince also knew that something big had happened in this battle, so he responded obediently.
After the eleventh prince left, the fifth prince called the hidden guard and ordered, "Go and inquire, what happened to the court today?" ”
The hidden guard should be, and immediately went.
The fifth prince returned to the mansion, and before he stepped into the door, the hidden guard appeared and told him about the situation that had been discovered, "The two small countries in the southwest of Fanbang fought four days ago, and the military department sent back eight hundred miles to expedite. Shuli Gongzi was intercepted and killed on the way to the southwest Fanbang, and I heard that the interception and killing not only mobilized a large number of dead soldiers, but also tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Shuli Gongzi was seriously injured and rolled off the cliff, and now his life and death are unknown. King Anyang, Zhao Zaifu, Marquis Wuwei, and Duke Jingguo all hurried to the council hall. ”
The fifth prince was shocked, "It's no wonder that such a big thing happened." ”
The guard said no more.
The fifth prince froze and waved his hand at the hidden guard, and the hidden guard retreated.
As soon as Wuwei Hou left the Hou Mansion, Su Ziqi also got the news that Southwest Fanbang and An Shuli were intercepted and killed, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Qing Soul told in more detail than the hidden guard of the fifth prince, "Those two small countries are Nanyi and Ximan, both sides have used heavy troops, and in four days, the death toll has reached tens of thousands. The king of southern Xinjiang could not reconcile and suppress it, so he sent someone to send three letters to the imperial court for an eight-hundred-li urgency, but he only received one half an hour ago. Shuli Gongzi was intercepted and killed in Wolong Gorge on the border of southern Xinjiang, a large number of dead soldiers do not know who sent them, and there is no news of the identity of the other party for the time being, but the other 10,000 soldiers and horses that were intercepted and killed were under the control of the king of southern Xinjiang and the army under the direct formation battalion. ”
Su Ziqi's brows furrowed when he heard this, and a touch of deep thought appeared on his cold face, "There is such a thing." ”
Qing Soul bowed his head and said, "Princess Anyang fainted immediately after hearing the news, and King Anyang has sent out all the palace guards and secret guards in the palace. Before Shuli left Beijing, he had already formulated a proper strategy with His Royal Highness the Prince, and when he left, he also took away all the hidden guards around him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also secretly sent people from the Supervision Department of the Central Committee of the DPRK to take care of them along the road, but he must not have expected such a serious thing to happen, in addition to the killer and the dead, there was also the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang under the direct battalion. ”
Su Zi sneered coldly, "What about the foolproof and proper strategy?" Sometimes there are big surprises. The matter of the southwest state is a matter of time and time, and it should have been solved a few years ago, but he clearly knows that this cancer will not be pulled out, and it will be a scourge sooner or later, but he still loves the people like a son and does not want to punish him ruthlessly, what he is afraid of is a river of blood. Now he can't help it, this blood river has opened the floodgates by itself. ”
The green soul lowered his head and stopped answering.
Su Zi turned his jade wrench, his eyebrows condensed coldly, "Southern Xinjiang has long been a scourge. ”
Qing Soul raised his eyes, looked at Su Ziqi, and remembered that if it weren't for the cold insect spell in the southern Xinjiang in his wife's body, and after solving it, he would not have to be born with a cold disease, if it were not accompanied by this cold disease from birth, the son would not have lived so hard for so many years.
He gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "Can Childe go to Southwest Fanbang?" ”
Su Zi squinted his eyes, the coldness was gone, the cold air dispersed, and he laughed sarcastically, "My body, walking for thirty miles at night with a person on my back will cause cold, where can I go thousands of miles away now?" ”
Qing Soul lowered his head, "Maybe there is a way to cure Gongzi's cold disease in Southern Xinjiang." ”
Su Zi shook his head, "It can't be cured, if it can be cured, my mother wouldn't have given birth to me with a cold illness back then." I have never been to southern Xinjiang. But didn't my father go there to find a way for my mother? What about when he turned southern Xinjiang upside down? Isn't it for nothing? Shall I do his useless work again? ”
The green soul fell completely silent.
Su Zi waved his hand at him, "Go down." ”
The green soul disappeared silently.
Hua Yan returned to the East Palace, freshened up, and saw that Yun Chi hadn't come back when the time of dinner arrived, and he was on time every day. She asked, "Go and ask, if he doesn't come back for dinner, I won't wait." ”
Mama Fang should have been, and went immediately.
Hua Yan whispered to Qiu Yue, "Go and inquire, what's wrong?" My gut feeling is that something is wrong. ”
Qiu Yue whispered, "Miss, could it be because of this incident you caused today?" ”
Hua Yan sneered and shook her head, "What kind of big deal is this?" Even if the Manchu Dynasty and the military are opposed, even if Yun Chi is under pressure, he will not let me go easily, and he can't see that he can succeed so quickly. Something else must have happened. ”
Qiu Yue nodded and went immediately.
After Mama Fang came back, she said to Hua Yan, "Steward Fu said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the council hall, and he sent someone to inquire about the news, saying that there was a big incident in the imperial court, but what is the specific matter, His Royal Highness did not send back the message, it must be very tricky." His Highness hasn't come back at this time, and I'm afraid it won't be until late. The words fell, and he said to Hua Yan, "Are you still waiting for Your Highness?" ”
Hua Yan waved her hand, "Then don't wait." ”
Mama Fang should be, and immediately went to the kitchen.
After dinner, Qiu Yue brought back the news that she had inquired about under the twists and turns, and after telling Hua Yan, she whispered, "Now that we are in the East Palace, everything is inconvenient, and this news can only be known in general terms, not as soon as possible." I have already instructed the informant, and he said that the detailed information will be sent to the young lady early tomorrow morning. ”
Hua Yan nodded, took a sip of tea, and frowned slightly, "This is indeed a big deal." ”
Qiu Yue lowered her voice and said, "Miss, it seems that the flooding in the area around the mouth of the river has not been properly ended, and there are still some things to deal with. ”
Hua Yan put down the teacup, "Wouldn't it be better if he was too busy to spare his hands to pay attention to me?" The so-called opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I was able to break the engagement with him. ”
Qiu Yue looked at her, "Miss, if you make trouble for His Highness again at this time, will he really be angry?" ”
Hua Yan said indifferently, "It's better to be angry, he will know that I, a crown princess, am not a virtuous helper, she should be sat by someone else." For example, a virtuous and virtuous woman like Miss Zhao is an interpretive flower when he is tired and busy with court affairs. Well, if I compare with her, I will be compared. It's also a good thing that he can get lost. Now angry with me, in the future, he will be free to ascend the throne harem, and he should thank me for not marrying. ”
Qiu Yue was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but be angry and laugh, "Miss, you are really ......"
Hua Yan also smiled, she really never had mercy, she knew since she was a child that everything should be done to her advantage. How to use the opportunity to reverse the pros and cons, she knows better than anyone else. The market is a big dye vat, and she has practiced it more than 10,000 times after rolling in the world for so many years. If you want to get what you want, you don't hesitate to attack others when they are at their weakest, even stab others in the body and sprinkle salt on their wounds.
While pondering, she slowly finished drinking a cup of tea, and then said to Qiu Yue in a low voice, "Tell me to go down, borrow the inner house of Mrs. Wuwei Hou, borrow the people in her hands, and release the news that I have infertility." It is best to spread the teahouse and wine shop, the market and alleys, and the world knows it. ”
Qiu Yue was stunned when she heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to rely on Marquis Wuwei to stir up the courtiers?" How do you ...... now?"
Hua Yan stood up, "There is such a big thing in the government and the opposition, where can Wu Weihou take care of this." In the past, such rumors were slowly controlled and dissipated by Yun Chi Hui, such as the marriage signing of the big murderer, but now how can he spare his energy? It was when I took advantage of the wind to rise, and I couldn't take advantage of the situation for the time being, so I made use of the people's power. ”
Qiu Yue nodded, "When I get the details with the informant tomorrow, the slave and maid will explain this matter together." ”
Hua Yan bowed, yawned, walked into the back room, and soon fell asleep.
