Chapter 41: Gold in All Mouths (3)
Since Fangyue was dispatched to Heshou Palace, every day before nightfall, a little palace maid would be sent back to Changqiu Palace to report safety. On this day, the little palace maid came back from Changqiu Palace and taught her a note, saying that it was given by Sister Xiuxing.
Fang Yue walked to a secluded place, opened the note and looked at it, and only three words were written on it-
"Zhao Feiyi ......"
She whispered the name, and a few days later, when the little palace maid went to the Changqiu Palace to report her safety, Xiuxing received the news that Fang Yue had inquired about it from Li Bai.
"Zhen'an Horse Zhao Feiyiββ"
In the book pavilion, Xiuxing held the letter handed back by Fangyue, and said to Pei Yao one by one: "In the twenty-first year of Wuyao, that is, at the end of the first year of the first year of Zhou Guoguang, Emperor Guangshi Yuwenjing set up a ring in Kyoto to choose a son-in-law for his daughter Yuwenzhijun, the princess of Zhen'an. At that time, the talents of the Zhou State gathered in Fanjing, and four months later, the one who stood out was the current Zhen'an horse. β
"Zhao Feiyi, it is said that he was originally a guest of the eldest grandson's family, with a mediocre background, but he is handsome, but he is just learning......"
Xiuxing said this, looking at the letterhead in his hand, his face was entangled.
Pei Yaowei saw that she was silent, so she looked up from the case and asked, "How is your learning?" β
Xiuxing didn't answer her question explicitly, but said: "Before the battle of Wuhualing, for the princess Zhen'an's insistence on using a horse, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces had jointly knelt outside the palace of Emperor Guangshi for several days, and there were many forces against Princess Zhen'an, secretly ready to move, intending to take this opportunity to bring down the princess. β
She looked at Pei Yaowei seriously: "Master, this is not just a personal grudge, but also before this battle, except for Princess Zhen'an, no one in the Zhou Kingdom thought that Zhen'an could win this battle." β
Pei Yao's eyes were slightly dark, and she slowly loosened her muscles and leaned back on the chair.
"But he won." She said.
Embroidered the star's chin, and added: "And the person he won was the King of Chu." β
"Zhao Feiyi ......" After a while, Pei Yaowei took the pen and put these three words on the paper, "This name ......"
It's very close to myself. She thought.
An indescribable feeling gradually rose in her heartβhope, fear, and decline.
It's complicated.
Suddenly, she asked Xiuxing: "You said that he was Wu Yao in the twenty-first year, and when Yuwen Zhijun chose a son-in-law, he only began to appear in front of people, so what about before?" She seemed to have grasped something, and asked anxiously: "Born from a mediocre background, but you always know where you come from, right?" Rong Yi is handsome...... What does he really look like? We should always have his portrait in our hands, right? β
Xiuxing flipped through Fangyue's letter and said: "Fangyue's letter said that this master was born in a poor family, and his father was a poor Xiucai, who worked as a private school in a small town, and his family background was very innocent, and there was nothing to check." As for the portrait...... Fangyue didn't mention it, and probably didn't ask. β
Xiuxing thought in his heart, before the battle of Wuhualing, probably from Zhou Guo to Daliang, everyone felt that the reason why this Zhen'an concubine could worship as a concubine was only because he gave birth to a good skin that made Princess Zhen'an happy-after all, when choosing a son-in-law, he was not a leader in Taowu strategy, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. What really made him stand out was just at the last moment, when Princess Zhen'an raised her hand in the crowd of thousands of people.
Such a person is still considered a wine bag and rice bag in the Zhou Kingdom, how could Li Bai and those people bother to make a statue for him.
Unexpectedly, the world is changeable, and this so-called 'wine bag and rice bag' turned out to be the most wonderful actor who walked out of Hudumen.
Thinking of this, Xiuxing sighed, and after a while, he said tentatively: "...... Master, don't you think there's something wrong with the background of this horse master? β
Pei Yao frowned and pondered, but did not speak.
After a while, Xiuxing asked if she wanted to let Fang Yue inquire about the portrait.
"There's no hurry." Pei Yao came back to her senses, full of tiredness, and said, "Let's talk about it when the matter in front of me is over." β
What is in front of you......
That's right, Xiuxing's face darkened a little more, and in front of him, the master was still suspicious, and he couldn't come out of this world.
Pei Yaowei noticed that she was standing there, and she didn't move for a long time, so she asked, Xiuxing looked up at her, and thought for a long time before she said cautiously: "Master, the slave has something unknown. β
Pei Yao's mind turned, and he raised his eyebrows and guessed: "The matter of physical evidence?" β
Xiuxing nodded.
She asked: "If there is really physical evidence, why is the emperor unwilling to show it?" Even if you are in Chongtian Palace, it is to save your face in front of everyone, but it is impossible for Your Majesty not to know about Aunt Xin Ci's visit to Changqiu Palace before. He knows that you are so obsessed with the physical evidence, why don't you let Aunt Xin Ci bring it to you to show you? β
yes, why?
Pei Yaowei knew the answer, so listening to Xiuxing's words, she smiled.
"He's afraid of me." Her eyes were slightly straight, and her tone was indifferent, "He's afraid of Xiao Di." β
The embroidered star's eyes moved slightly, and his doubts were not opened.
She blinked, looked at Xiuxing again, and said with a smile: "He is afraid that his country and his throne will be threatened." β
"Slave maid...... Slaves are stupid. β
Pei Yaowei asked her: "After the battle of Wuhualing, what did Zhao Feiyi do?" β
What did you do?
That's too much.
The master of the horse replaced all the main generals with the people of Princess Zhen'an. He single-handedly connected the Quartet and strategized, and in less than half a month, he had already caused heavy losses to Xiang Tao, Pan Xian, and Jiang Yi's subordinates. What's more, when the Zhou army was in full swing, the various departments of the Liang army were actually separated by him, and they could not help each other, so they could only go their own way.
This is just the beginning.
Next......
Thinking of this, Xiuxing actually trembled.
No one knows what will happen next. The front line was defeated, and there were no more available people in the rear, and the king of Chu ...... but refused to show up.
Pei Yaowei paid attention to the change in her expression, and only then said: "In the Chongtian Palace that day, he didn't dare to show the physical evidence in front of the Sixth Palace, not because he wanted to save my face. It's because the physical evidence is taken out, and the evidence is ironclad. β
"After the victory of the Split Earth Pass, Xiao Di's prestige in the army has risen to a new level, Wuhualing was defeated, it is when the army's heart is unstable, Xiao Di's current situation is very delicate, the soldiers complain about him, but they can only put hope on him, hoping that he can turn things around. The emperorβ" she lowered her eyes and laughed, "Xiao Zhu is looking forward to taking this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Di and ruin his position in the army, but at the same time, he also understands that the grievance between him and Xiao Di is higher than the grievance between him and Xiao Di at the moment, and it is Liang Guozuo." β
She said: "The country must be preserved, and they have a good quarrel." And right now, the only person who may protect this country for him is Xiao Di. β
Hearing this, Xiuxing's eyebrows widened slightly.
"As for privately, he won't let me take a look at the so-called physical evidence...... Pei Yao said: "He kept the physical evidence because he wanted to keep it for the next day - when Xiao Di lost the use value on the front line in the coming day, he would take out the physical evidence and settle accounts with him after the autumn." β
"This time, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Di had indeed come back, and he believed that I had a private affair with him when I was in Zhaoye Temple."
Xiuxing's face couldn't bear it, and he shouted in a low voice: "Master......"
Pei Yaowei has nothing to taboo.
She snorted, as if self-deprecating and indifferent, "Because he believes this, he thinks that my heart is towards Xiao Di." In that case, how dare he bring me that physical evidence? Who knows if I will destroy the physical evidence in order to protect Xiao Di after I get it? β
Her words made Xiuxing not know what to say.
Persuade?
How to persuade? Persuade peace like Aunt Xin Ci, hoping that the master and the emperor can reconcile as before?
Xiuxing asked himself if he couldn't do it.
Whose master is distressed. At this time, she only had resentment towards the Son of Heaven in her heart, and she opened her mouth, but she was afraid that it was all the great rebellion that should punish the nine clans.
"That's it, let's not talk about it." After a while, Pei Yaowei shook her head slightly, threw the bead string in her hand, and said softly: "It's boring." β
It's so boring.
Outside, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the clouds are thick, and there will probably be a heavy rain.
She thinks so is her life.
When Xiuxing helped her back to the dormitory, she asked, "Master, what are you going to do after that?" β
She still said lightly: "There is no hurry. β
The southern border attacked Changcheng and Shen Fu.
Xiao Min sat on the Luohan couch under the window, holding a letter in her hand, and the letter paper was crumpled by her, very pitiful.
There was the sound of the door opening and closing, but she didn't hear it, blindly immersed in her own meditation, hesitating and unable to make up her mind.
Xiao Di was holding the pain all over his body, and his steps were heavier than usual, Rao was like this, until he was standing on Xiao Min's side, but he didn't see her react at all.
Xiao Di smiled, and the exit was to quip: "Who is the princess for?" β
It didn't matter if this voice was made, it directly scared Princess Rong Xuan, and the whole person almost didn't jump up from the couch.
"Stinky boy! Death! She turned around and saw that it was him, she was slightly relieved, she couldn't help but caress her heart, and after glancing at him, she pulled him down worriedly, "It's just a little better, what are you walking around?" I'm not afraid of the wounds on my body cracking! β
Xiao Di smiled bitterly, "Sister, you're too nervous!" I'm not a child anymore, can I still be so impotent! β
Xiao Min didn't listen to him, and the words that couldn't stop covering him in his mouth, fortunately, Xiao Di had been used to her teachings since he was a child, and he didn't feel so noisy at this time, and he could even divide his energy and respond perfunctorily.
"It's been this hour, why hasn't Sister slept yet?"
When Xiao Min heard this, he snorted coldly: "You also know that this is the hour?" Then why don't you sleep yet? It's still poor and tossing at night, what do you think is your long life? β
"Don't dare!" He patiently said to her: "Originally, I was going to sleep after drinking the medicine, but seeing that you are still brightly lit here, thinking about the big night, my sister may think about her brother-in-law, and it is difficult to sleep, and the matter between the husband and wife is because of me, I don't come to see it, how can I rest assured?" β
