Chapter 63: Betrayal
"I'm afraid that you have no reason to leave the capital, and the emperor won't let you go." Jiang Qingyue said.
When Zhou Ruian heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this was also what he was worried about, and he left the capital this time to avoid Emperor Xuande, he received the news that Emperor Xuande intended to let him go to the real Princess Ningyang, this is simply a joke, he can't help Emperor Xuande find someone, so he found a way to leave.
But his own goal is too big, and his sudden departure from Beijing will definitely arouse Emperor Xuande's vigilance, and he will even send people to follow him, even if he finds Dongcheng at that time, it will be useless, and he will even expose himself in advance.
It's really not easy to do.
Looking at Zhou Rui'an's frowning appearance, Jiang Qingyue suddenly had an idea: "I heard from the senior brother a few days ago that he wants to set up the sign of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, I think this idea is very good, Weiyuan Dart Bureau is still in Qiyang's branch, you can use the investigation of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau case as an excuse to go to Qiyang first, Qiyang is only a few days away from Hongxian County, just convenient for you to find Dong Cheng." ”
Jiang Qingyue thought for a while, and then continued: "You were originally a criminal suspect, and it is reasonable for you to clear your name and find the murderer. ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but step forward to hold Jiang Qingyue's hand, and said with a smile: "Look at how well I can marry, I found such a smart and witty daughter-in-law......
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him secretly, and reminded him coldly: "Aren't you going to get rich?" ”
Zhou Ruian sighed, "Yes, yes, yes, then I have a good eye, see how much I will get into trouble!" "It looks like it's cheap.
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Ruian quickly packed his bags and prepared to leave, and he didn't report to Emperor Xuande, after all, he is now suspended at home and belongs to idle people, it stands to reason that without the emperor's summons, it is impossible for him to see Emperor Xuande.
So Zhou Ruian left the capital generously, and before leaving, he also went to Dali Temple, and scolded Guan Youwei, saying that their Dali Temple is all waste, and the murderer has not been found for so long, and it depends on him to go out in person to clear his name.
Guan Youwei was so angry that he clutched his chest for a while and didn't slow down, and when he remembered, Zhou Ruian was already gone.
Here, Emperor Xuande just sent someone to find Zhou Rui'an, Zhou Rui'an had already left the capital, and Emperor Xuande lost his temper again.
"Walk so fast!" Emperor Xuande was furious, "Is there still an emperor in his eyes?" ”
The chamberlain on one side reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is idle at home now, and he has no official position." ”
Emperor Xuande remembered it at this time, and he was even more annoyed.
A little eunuch happened to come over to report, "Your Majesty, Princess Ningyang asked to see her outside the door, and the princess said that she made a snack herself......"
"Nope! Let her go back! Emperor Xuande said impatiently.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he shuddered, kowtowed again and again, and hurriedly ran out to spread the word, it seems that Princess Ningyang has completely fallen out of favor, and she can't covet a few more silver to pass the word in the future.
When Princess Ningyang heard that Emperor Xuande didn't see her, she trembled with anger, and raised her hand to slap the little eunuch who passed the word, but the little eunuch covered her face and didn't dare to speak.
Princess Ningyang was just about to leave, when she saw Emperor Xuande standing in front of the door: "Okay! You are a princess, and you actually abuse a little eunuch! Do you still have a little princess demeanor? Is that how the queen disciplines you? ”
Princess Ningyang finally met Emperor Xuande, but she had to be reprimanded, and she felt aggrieved: "Father! It's just a dead eunuch, a cheap thing, what can you do if you are killed? Is it worth my father to be so angry with me? Father, I am Ningyang, your favorite Ningyang! ”
"I think it's because I was too indulgent to you before, so I developed your current character!" Emperor Xuande said angrily: "Come on, send the princess back to the queen!" Ask her if she can take care of the child! ”
Several eunuchs came up and grabbed Princess Ningyang's arm and were about to send her back, but Princess Ningyang couldn't break free and was sent back to the palace.
This is the second time that Princess Ningyang has been sent back by Emperor Xuande's people, and the queen mother is extremely calm, she accepted the person and sent her back to the palace, and then ordered: "Take care of the princess, don't allow her to leave the palace for half a step." ”
Princess Ningyang looked at the queen mother in disbelief: "Queen Mother, it's the father, it's the father's partiality!" I didn't do anything wrong......"
"Smack!" The queen slapped Princess Ningyang in the face.
The expression on the queen's face was the same as the fierceness of Princess Ningyang when she beat the little eunuch just now.
Princess Ningyang looked at the queen mother with a stunned face: "You, you dare to beat me!" ”
From childhood to adulthood, let alone being beaten, the queen didn't even scold her!
The queen's expression was indifferent: "As the queen, this palace rules the six palaces, and she should have the right to discipline the princess!" After a pause, she glanced at Princess Ningyang coldly: "As a princess, you have lost your virtue and damaged the face of the royal family, and you dare to slander the emperor!" It's really disloyal and unfilial! This palace beats you lightly! ”
Princess Ningyang realized that what she said just now was wrong, but she had always been arrogant and domineering, and she was beaten again today, how could she admit her mistake.
"Excuses! You just saw that your father didn't care for me anymore, so you dared to hit me! Princess Ningyang said angrily: "If it was before, would you dare? Do you dare to hit me?! ”
I have to say that Princess Ningyang is not without brains, but she has been favored by Emperor Xuande since she was a child, and the queen mother is even more intentional to indulge in her pampering, and her temperament has not been crooked since she was a child, and when she understands it now, I am afraid that it will be a little late.
The queen mother glanced at her contemptuously, and then instructed the palace maid on the side: "The princess was carried away, and even the palace dared to contradict it, and the diet in the past few days was lighter, so that the princess was sober and sober." ”
The palace maid on the side hurriedly responded, didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly sent Princess Ningyang away half-forced and half-supported.
Mama Gui, who was beside the queen, said at this time: "I finally saw today, this idiot, I used to think that I was a golden branch and jade leaf, and I didn't even pay attention to my mother, but now it's okay." ”
When the queen mother heard this, a fierce color flashed in her eyes, golden branches and jade leaves, if the real Princess Ningyang is still there, I don't know what kind of character she has developed.
The queen mother was silent, and Mama Gui couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "What is Niangniang thinking?" ”
Only then did the queen mother speak: "I miss that child, I don't know if he is still alive now, ...... back then"
"Why should the mother worry about her? You can only blame that slut! confused the emperor back then, let the mother be wronged, and now return it to her daughter, that is also a matter of course! Even if that kid really dies, that's the slut's retribution! Mama Gui said fiercely.
The queen thought about it, and thought of the days when she was pressed by a civilian woman from a civilian background, and her heart arched up, her dignified and noble daughter, after being loyal and good, was not even as good as a lowly civilian woman in the eyes of the saint!
A princess with golden branches and jade leaves, who should have grown up with fine clothes and fine food, and thousands of pets, but in the end she can only live in the people, taste all the suffering, and may not even be able to save her life, isn't this retribution?
The queen soon forgot about it.
Mama Gui said worriedly: "It's just Niangniang, now it seems that Your Majesty has known that Princess Ningyang is fake, he will definitely suspect Niangniang, will he be angry with Niangniang?" ”
"Anger? What about the evidence? The queen mother sneered and asked, "Without evidence, can he still abolish the palace?" ”
Mama Gui wanted to speak and stopped, between the husband and wife, it is not necessarily necessary to abolish the queen.
The queen mother chuckled: "Mama, is it difficult, do you still think that I still have the illusion that he still has a husband and wife?" She hooked the corners of her lips contemptuously, and her long fingers revealed a luxurious but cold light: "As early as when that slut entered the palace and he allowed that slut to show off his power in front of me, I knew that any married couple was unreliable!" Only rights, only rights are the most reliable thing! ”
"Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is now flourishing in the Dingguo Mansion, even if he knows that his daughter was transferred by me, he still doesn't dare to ask me for the crime, not even a word, he only dares to be angry with that impostor, isn't this the benefit of rights?" The queen said with a smile.
Mama Gui thought about it and felt that there was some truth, the queen mother had always been successful, and her decision would not be wrong.
The queen frowned slightly at this time: "Rui'an is running fast this week, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, but if he wants to stay out of the matter, he can't help it!" ”
Mama Gui stood aside, and the queen thought for a moment, then continued: "That impostor, you take a good look, don't let her mislead us at this time!" ”
"Yes, don't worry, the old slave is provincial." Mama Gui replied.
Since then, Princess Ningyang has begun to live a miserable day, there are many ways to rectify people in the harem, each of which is miserable, Princess Ningyang was favored before, and no one dared to get in front of her, but now with the acquiescence of the queen's mother, the palace maids and eunuchs who had suffered from Princess Ningyang before had to come and step on Princess Ningyang.
Although Princess Ningyang is an impostor, she has never suffered such grievances since she was a child, and she has been tortured in a few days and almost collapsed.
At the beginning, Princess Ningyang would be furious, shouting that when Emperor Xuande remembered her, he would definitely come back to save her, she was still a princess with infinite scenery.
Some timid palace maids and eunuchs were really worried, Princess Ningyang even did not hesitate to make herself sick, thinking that she could get the care of Emperor Xuande, but she didn't expect that when someone reported the news of Princess Ningyang's illness to the emperor, Emperor Xuande didn't even ask.
Now everyone knows that Princess Ningyang has completely fallen out of favor, and those who are watching have no worries, and Princess Ningyang herself understands that no one can save her now, and she is no longer the princess with infinite beauty.
On the third day after Zhou Rui'an left the capital, Tuoba Gang caused an uproar in the capital.
In the early dynasty, Tuoba Gang personally went to the court and accused Zhou Ruian of concealing the truth of the treasure, bullying the king, and intending to rebel!
Tuoba Gang pointed out that Zhou Ruian had actually gotten the treasure of Nanshan a long time ago, he had sent someone to Nanshan a long time ago to take away the treasure inside, and later he learned the news of the treasure and also went to look for it, but he pounced on it, and the treasure had long been gone, originally he thought that Zhou Ruian had presented the treasure to Emperor Xuande, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ruian had never mentioned that he had found the treasure.
It can be seen that Tuoba Gang thinks that Zhou Ruian is deceiving the king! And he concealed such a big thing, which shows bad intentions!
As soon as this remark came out, the hall was shocked, and Emperor Xuande's brows were also frowned, he once asked Zhou Rui'an, whether the treasure of Nanshan was true or false, and Zhou Rui'an swore to tell him that there was no treasure in Nanshan, and at that time he felt that Zhou Ruian still had 'Jun Mochou', so he did not doubt his statement.
But in fact, Zhou Ruian didn't lie, he just played a word game, there was indeed no treasure in Nanshan where he went, but it was uncertain whether the real treasure was taken away by King Jin, and he didn't find the treasure since he went to Nanshan, so he didn't lie.
But Emperor Xuande didn't know that this treasure was still the king of Jin, so he didn't suspect it at that time.
But now, when Tuoba just exposed Zhou Rui'an in court, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but start to doubt.
Could it be that Zhou Ruian was really lying to him? Since 'Jun Mochou' went wrong and found out that Princess Ningyang was not his daughter, Emperor Xuande now doesn't dare to trust 'Jun Mochou' like that anymore.
"Is what you're saying true?" Emperor Xuande asked in a deep voice: "You accused Zhou Aiqing, but what evidence do you have?" ”
"Your Majesty, naturally there is, I caught Zhou Rui'an's subordinate, and this person was sent by Zhou Rui'an to find the treasure." Tuoba Gang said respectfully, "Please allow me to bring the certificate to the court." ”
Emperor Xuande approved.
After a while, Tuoba Gang's two guards walked up with a middle-aged man, the man was slightly blessed, his expression was embarrassed, but his spirit was quite good, this person was none other than Liu Fu, who took Luobei to Weiyuan Dart Bureau that day!
Liu Fu is one of Zhou Rui'an's subordinates, and he used to be trusted by Zhou Rui'an, and later on the way to Liuzhou, Jiang Qingyue proposed that the troops be divided into several roads, and Liu Fu and several other dart masters went on the road alone, but their group disappeared, and they did not see anyone alive or dead, and Lin Zheyuan also sent a lot of people to find their whereabouts at that time, but there was no news.
I didn't expect Liu Fu to fall into the hands of Tuoba Gang!
Emperor Xuande didn't know Liu Fu, of course he couldn't question such a small person, so the second prince stood up and said, "Who are you?" ”
"The villain Liu Fu used to serve as the prince...... Played for Zhou Rui'an. Liu Fu said respectfully.
His posture was respectful, but his tone was neither slow nor slow, he did not have the trembling of ordinary people, but he was generous and moderate, worthy of being the person next to Zhou Rui'an.
"What the fourth prince said just now, but is it true? Zhou Rui'an sent you to find the treasure of Nanshan? The second prince asked in a deep voice.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the villain escorted Zhou Rui'an to Liuzhou at the end of last year to handle the case, but in fact, this matter is just a trick, Zhou Rui'an went to Liuzhou because he heard that there was a treasure in Nanshan, this time he sent the villain over, also for the treasure, but Zhou Rui'an's own goal was too big, and he was worried that he would be discovered, so he sent the villain to find the treasure first and transport it out secretly." Liu Fu said respectfully.
"Have you found the treasure?" The second prince immediately asked.
"Found it!" Liu Fu said: "The villain found the treasure smoothly according to the treasure map given by Zhou Rui'an, and when the treasure was transported out, I didn't expect Zhou Rui'an to plan to kill people!" ”
Speaking of which, Liu Fu's face showed a little indignation.
The villain worked diligently for Zhou Rui'an, but he didn't expect him to plan to take the villain's life, but fortunately, the villain's life should not be extinguished, and he was ...... The Tatar army rescued him, and when he saw the four princes, the villain saved his life. Liu Fu said respectfully.
"According to what you said, this treasure is now in Zhou Rui'an's hands?" The second prince then asked.
"That's true." Liu Fu said, knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "What the villain said, everything is true, don't dare to deceive Your Majesty!" ”
The top of the main hall immediately whispered, they also knew about the Tatars occupying Nanshan in order to find the treasure that day, but they didn't expect that the treasure had already been taken away by Zhou Rui'an! What a treasure that must be?
Tuoba just said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhou Rui'an left the capital two days ago, you see, will he be a ......" He didn't finish, after all, he is an outsider, and it is not good to talk more about Dajing's state affairs.
But Emperor Xuande's face was already ugly, and he was obviously beginning to doubt.
"This matter will be discussed later, retreat!" After Emperor Xuande finished speaking coldly, he turned around and went down to the court.
Tuoba just hooked the corners of his lips, it doesn't matter, he is not afraid that Emperor Xuande will not deal with Zhou Rui'an.
Jiang Qingyue soon knew about the early dynasty, because of her close relationship with Zhou Rui'an, the second prince also deliberately gave her a holiday, saying that she had worked hard in the past few days and wanted her to have a good rest, but in fact, she was already wary of her.
Jiang Qingyue didn't care either, and rushed back to discuss with Luobei.
This time, Zhou Ruian left the capital and did not take Luobei with him, but left Luobei to Jiang Qingyue, so as not to make it inconvenient for Jiang Qingyue to do things.
Zhou Rui'an was used to doing things foolproof, and he didn't plan to let Luobei come in handy, but he didn't expect that just a few days after he left, such a big thing happened in the capital.
When Luo Bei heard that Liu Fu had corrected Zhou Rui'an, he was so angry that he was like thunder, "What a wolf-hearted thing!" If it weren't for the master, he would have died a long time ago, and now he bites the master in turn! What ingratitude! ”
Compared with Luobei's annoyance, Jiang Qingyue was much calmer: "Don't be angry first, let's see how this matter should be solved first." Didn't you master think that Tuoba Gang would violate the agreement of the day? ”
"The master said that Tuoba Gang should not be gullible, and he may break the agreement of the day, but this Tuoba has just come to the capital for so long, and he has always been very peaceful, so the master did not take it seriously, who knows that as soon as the master left the capital, Tuoba Gang began to make trouble! Now the master doesn't know where to go, even if he wants to inform him to think of a way! Luo Bei said anxiously.
Jiang Qingyue's brows furrowed: "This is troublesome, I'm worried now, the Holy Lord will have murderous intentions towards your master." ”
The failure of 'Jun Mochou' in advance shows that Emperor Xuande has lost a means to deal with Zhou Rui'an, Emperor Xuande was not at ease with Zhou Rui'an, and now he is afraid that he will be even more murderous, and the reasons are ready-made, collaborating with the enemy and treason, intending to rebel, this is a capital crime!
Now Zhou Rui'an is still outside, there is no way to explain to himself, Tuoba just saw this, so he made trouble at this time, as long as he is convicted, Zhou Rui'an will die! And Emperor Xuande is very likely to cooperate with him!
"The top priority now is to let him come back and make things clear!" Jiang Qingyue said with a solemn face.
Luo Bei hesitated for a moment: "Gongzi Jiang, can the master come back now?" Could it be that as soon as the master comes back, he will be ...... by the emperor?"
Jiang Qingyue shook his head: "He must come back now and explain the matter of the treasure clearly, otherwise your master will really become a rebel and thief." After a pause, she said cryptically: "If he really wants to be a rebel and thief, there is no need to be so troublesome, and he will go to find a person who has been missing for more than ten years." ”
Zhou Rui'an left the capital this time, mainly to find Dong Cheng, to find out the truth about the death of King Jin in battle, and also to find a justifiable reason to start the army.
Zhou Ruian didn't say it himself, but Jiang Qingyue knew that in fact, he still had the pride of the Zhou dynasty in his bones, and he didn't want to let the Zhou family fight in his own nest, so he had to find a reason to come out, which was very strange and contradictory, but this was probably the characteristic of the Zhou family.
Therefore, Zhou Ruian would never want to be labeled as a chaotic minister and thief, he wanted to rebel, and that was also to fight against Emperor Xuande in a dignified manner, pull him off the throne, and hide treasures, Zhou Ruian really disdains to do it.
"I'm afraid it's too late to send a letter to my master now." Luo Bei said, "The master has to do the things over there, and he can't come back now!" ”
Before Zhou Ruian left, he had instructed Luobei to obey Jiang Qingyue's orders. He was a family member, so he had to be obedient.
Fortunately, Gongzi Jiang is very intelligent, and their master is not completely blinded by beauty!
Jiang Qingyue didn't know what Luo Bei was thinking, she was just a little entangled, what should she write to call Zhou Ruian back?
Luo Bei couldn't help but urge: "Gongzi Jiang, you have a way!" How can I write this letter? If it is written truthfully, I am afraid that the master will not care! He will definitely go to Hongxian County first, and then find someone first, I am afraid that it is a general reason, and he will not be able to call back the master. ”
Let Zhou Ruian give up looking for Dong Cheng for the sake of a Tuoba Gang? What doesn't exist, that's simply impossible! How important Dong Cheng is, he has been missing for more than ten years, and Zhou Ruian will definitely find him.
Jiang Qingyue frowned, how to call Zhou Ruian back has become a problem.
"I'll write it." Jiang Qingyue said expressionlessly.
Luobei is waiting for her words! turned around and asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and grind it for Jiang Qingyue, he must grind a little more, and Jiang Gongzi write a little more, so that the master can see that his heart is full of joy, and he is willing to come back!
Jiang Qingyue dipped in some ink, and then with a stroke of his pen, he wrote a sentence on the paper, Luo Bei swears, there is really only one sentence! He just lowered his head, and Jiang Qingyue finished writing!
