Chapter 028: Return to the capital
Chapter 028 Return to the capital
"Ah Da, Ah Er, go and save people!"
Although there is a little boy in the sea, in front of so many people, it is impossible to let it save people.
The two Kunlun slaves agreed, jumped into the sea with a 'bang', and after a few waves rolled, Ah Da pulled Wang Jinyu who was tied, and Ah Er dragged a thin figure and slowly rowed towards the treasure boat.
On the other side, a few pirates brought by the prince of the world, who were also agile in reaching out, used ropes to walk themselves to the opposite ship, and as soon as they landed, they began to fight with the people on board.
"Haha, good, good job, yes, that's it, hurry up and drive the boat!"
Seeing that the pirates were so capable, the prince couldn't care about the two people who fell into the water, so he clapped his hands and shouted.
"Amethyst, give an order, don't leave one!"
Wang Qifang looked at the smug face of the prince coldly, and saw that Ah Da and the others had rescued the person safely, and ordered Lisuo.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Amethyst agreed, and hurriedly ran to the rudder, asking Ah San, who stayed behind, to signal to the helmsman of the fleet.
Ah San raised a small flag and waved it up and down a few times to convey the master's order - kill!
Almost instantly, several helmsmen of the fleet saw the flag and shouted loudly, "The master has a life, kill!" ”
Before the shouts of slaughter fell, a figure flew out of the cabin of each ship, and the cold sword flashed, and the pirate fell to the deck with a scream.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the pirates who boarded the fleet were killed, looking at the corpses thrown into the sea, the eyes of the prince were straight, and he stared at Wang Qifang with a blue face, looking at his hateful gaze, eager to kill her on the spot.
"Hmph, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, I am waiting to see what happens to you!"
After speaking, Wang Qifang waved his hand, and the treasure ship quickly turned its bow, and then led the fleet to gradually move away.
"Chase, you useless things, hurry up and chase me!"
The prince pounded the side of the ship, watched Wang Qifang fly away, and shouted with hatred.
Pursue? Chase yourself!
The crew didn't seem to hear the words of the prince, they all guarded their positions in a daze, and their hearts spoke, and they were not tired and crooked, and they dared to toss in Mrs. Wang's sea area?
The steward saw that Shizi was really anxious, and he couldn't ignore him, so he walked to Shizi's side with a smile, pointed to the black shadows in the sea one by one, and said: "Shizi, you can't chase it, there are reefs in front of you, and if you are not careful, your tentacles will capsize." Last time, the Wuda housekeeper and the county lord of your royal mansion were overturned in front, and the small one was also there at that time, if it weren't for Mrs. Wang's rescue, I'm afraid they would-"
"Butler Wu? Dust-free? When the prince mentioned these two people, he hated them so much that he suddenly remembered that Wang Qifang had already known the secret of Wuchen, and he was shocked, and he didn't care about the problems of the fleet, so he hurriedly ordered the steward, "Quick, return to the voyage, I, I want to go back!" ”
No, he has to hurry back to Jeju and tell his father, so that his father can prepare early, otherwise, otherwise everything will be over!
……
Wang Qifang came to the back cabin, the two people who were rescued had changed into clean clothes, and each was holding a sea bowl to drink ginger soup, she first looked at her brother's injury, and saw that there was no major problem, so she came to the second person, when she saw this person's face clearly, she was startled, and said in surprise: "It's you?" Lord Zhizhou, why are you on the official ship? ”
"Alas, it's hard to put into words."
After drinking the ginger soup in three or two sips, Zhizhou shook his head with a wry smile, Wang Qifang didn't know how many sins he had suffered in the past few days, alas, the dignified Lord Zhizhou was hiding in the dark like a mouse, if it wasn't for the prince who took Wang Jinyu to change ships, he didn't know how to come to Peach Blossom Island.
On that day, under the protection of the guards, Zhizhou hurried to Xihai County, but who knows, the prince actually came to the county government one step ahead of him, and saw the secret guard of the Qi Palace, Zhizhou didn't even dare to enter the county office, and he was not sure whether Yang Zhixian was reliable, so he had to hide in the inn with the guards and temporarily live in Xihai.
Zhizhou was afraid of being discovered by the prince's people, and he didn't dare to show his face, so he asked the guards to go to the dock to find a boat. Of course, the answer the guards got was the same as what happened to Shizi, and he couldn't find a fishing boat willing to take them to Peach Blossom Island.
After waiting for several days, Zhizhou Tan finally heard a little news, saying that the prince had made friends with the children of the Wang family and was discussing going to Peach Blossom Island to borrow a boat.
Hearing this news, Zhizhou felt hopeful, he pondered, the prince is going to send someone to Peach Blossom Island, he must go to sea, and he will have to take an official ship to the sea, so he hurriedly mixed into the official ship with his escort, and coincidentally, the next day the official ship went to sea, and the destination was Peach Blossom Island.
Zhizhou was so excited in his heart, he nested quietly in the bilge, and as soon as the official ship docked, he showed up to find Mrs. Wang.
However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Zhizhou didn't expect Wang Qifang to trade with the prince at sea, and let him hear such a key news - Wuchen had evidence of King Qi's rebellion!
In the past, he didn't dare to show his face, on the one hand, he was afraid of being caught by King Qi's people, and on the other hand, he wanted to find evidence of King Qi's rebellion. Because he thought about it, as long as he found evidence of King Qi's rebellion, he would have an excuse to flee the government without authorization. If his news is timely, maybe he will not only be condemned, but will also reward him.
Thinking of this, Zhizhou couldn't hide, and ran out of the cabin and jumped into the sea, he knew that Mrs. Wang was a good person, even if he didn't know his identity, he wouldn't die without help.
Sure enough, he was right.
However, now is not the time for storytelling, and it is important to get down to business.
Zhizhou put the empty bowl aside, stood up and waved his hand at Wang Qifang and said, "The lower official has something to ask his wife, please ask his wife to help the lower official." ”
"What's the matter?"
The corners of Wang Qifang's mouth twitched, she really didn't want to get involved with the affairs of the court, but she couldn't get rid of it.
"The lower official wants to interrogate that Wuchen, and beg Mrs. to fulfill it!"
In order to be in a hurry, Zhizhou did not speak politely and went straight to the point.
“…… All right! ”
Wang Qifang glanced at Zhizhou fixedly, and was clear about his purpose in his heart, although he was not happy, but there was no reason to refuse, so he had to nod and agree.
Zhizhou did have two times, and when the treasure ship arrived on Peach Blossom Island, he had already got what he wanted, came to Peach Blossom Island, met the lady and her children, changed his clothes, and came to see Wang Qifang again.
"Madam, the lower officials still have something to ask for, the stakes are very high, and I hope Mrs. will help!"
"What's the matter? Go ahead. ”
"Xiaguan wants to ask Mrs. to send a few people to escort Xiaguan and Wuchen into Beijing, and ask Mrs. to write a letter to the third princess, this matter is related to the stability of the court, please fulfill Mrs."
"Okay, no problem!"
didn't ask what the 'big deal' in Zhizhou's mouth was, and no matter what he saw the third princess doing, Wang Qifang was like an ostrich, pretending not to know anything, wrote a letter, and asked Amethyst to call Boss Gao, "Boss Gao, now there is an errand for you to do, if you can do this errand well, all the crimes you have committed in the past will be forgiven, and if you do it well, there will be a reward!" ”
There is a reason why Wang Qifang chose a few bandits to escort Zhizhou, one is to fulfill his promise to Boss Gao, and the other is to get rid of the relationship as much as possible.
That's right, sending Zhizhou to Beijing to deliver a letter is a good time to make meritorious contributions, but Wang Qifang doesn't want it, because she has a hunch that when King Qi tosses, Li Jingtian and they will not be idle.
Regarding the identity of Boss Gao, Wang Qifang did not hide it from Zhizhou, but she said this, "These people are all prisoners in the government prison, and the people are in chaos, and all the prisoners in the prison are released." Boss Gao was loyal and righteous, and when he saw that the adults were coerced by the chaotic people, he came to the rescue. The lord fled Jeju under the escort of Boss Gao and others, and happened to meet Wuchen who escaped from Peach Blossom Island, and saw that he was suspicious, so he was strictly interrogated, but he did not expect to learn of a big conspiracy, my lord, you know that this matter is very important, and immediately decided to go to the capital to report the news. ”
"That's right, that's exactly the case," Zhizhou's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Wang Qifang's words. Secretly, Mrs. Wang is smart, and in a few words, she will pass his mistakes, and after her such a break, he is not only guilty, but loyal and brave.
Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, he said, "The lower official is worried that the information will be delayed, so he bothered to ask Mrs. Wang, who has a close personal relationship with the third princess, to repair a letter and help the lower official introduce the third princess on his behalf!" ”
"Hehe, Zhizhou is right, that's the way it is," Wang Qifang saw that Zhizhou was very good, nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered to Zhizhou, "Although these people have committed crimes, their nature is not bad, and I hope that adults will take care of them." ”
"Rest assured, as long as they send the official to the capital safely, they will be a great hero, and the official will never treat them badly."
Zhizhou is very grateful to Wang Qifang for her help, not to mention exempting a few little thieves, even if he is willing to give her half of the family property.
Besides, his family members are still taking refuge on Renjia Island, and he is embarrassed not to agree to this request.
After making up the rhetoric, Zhizhou quickly took people by boat to the capital by sea and water.
Soon, the court learned of the conspiracy of King Qi's rebellion, and the third princess even ordered 100,000 women's troops and personally commanded the rebellion.
At the same time, the prince also ran back to Jeju and told the king of Qi about Wuchen.
The king of Qi immediately decided to act in advance, and tied the celebrities, wealthy merchants and officials of Qi who were 'invited' to his big boat, and then in front of everyone, he angrily denounced several major crimes of Emperor Longqing, one of which said that Emperor Longqing was not the son of the first emperor, but the adopted son of the queen mother.
The rest of the charges are concentrated on saying that because the emperor is deaf, the court is incompetent, the officials are incompetent, and the people are not happy, and now they are forcing the victims to rebel, which is simply a king without virtue.
And he, King Qi, as the descendant of Zhou Taizu, should take it as his responsibility to protect the ancestral inheritance, expel the Emperor of Wude, and restore the glory of the Wu royal family.
In a word, he, the King of Qi, is going to rebel!
After taking the oath, the king of Qi deliberately beheaded two disobedient civil officials and used their heads to sacrifice the flag. The other people, seeing such a bloody scene, were all frightened and silent, and they didn't dare to have any more objections, so they hurriedly followed behind King Qi and rebelled together.
The king of Qi took the soldiers of the government and the men and horses of the former garrison General Feng, as well as the victims and prisoners who were wantonly recruited, and claimed to be 200,000 horses, quickly occupied Qidi, and then marched towards Yudi.
After the king of Qi shouted the slogan of rebellion, the king of Huainan responded and also pulled up the banner, calling on other vassal kings to revolt together, depose the puppet emperor Longqing Emperor, and ensure the purity of the royal blood of the Wu clan.
In addition to the fanfare rebellion of the two vassal kings, the victims of the disaster in many places in the Great Zhou also gathered, elected the leader of the team, formed a force of armed forces, seized the small county town, established themselves as kings, and announced that they would draw a clear border with the Great Zhou...... For a time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in flames and fell into civil strife.
In the entire Great Zhou, only the capital and Peach Blossom Island were not affected by the war.
Two years later, the civil strife has not subsided.
"Alas, it's better for my sister to be here, there is no famine, no war, like a paradise."
Li Jingniang sat in the peach grove with her child in her arms, under the blowing wind, pieces of pink flew in the air, everything was so quiet, so beautiful, like a fairyland in a dream.
"Oh, what's this, isn't my home your home? Who are we with whom! Wang Qifang smiled, seeing that her eyebrows were full of melancholy, she comforted: "Besides, this year is the third year, the rebellion of the two kings can be quelled soon, and at that time, the ship division will also be restarted, and when your family returns to Jeju, it is much more prosperous than mine, hehe, you, you don't have to envy me." ”
"I hope so," Li Jingniang is far less optimistic than Wang Qifang, although the rebellion of the two kings is a bit child's play, but he directly triggered the hidden social contradictions of the Great Zhou, so that many people who can't stand the exploitation rise up, and the wolf smoke continues, basically the rebellion in the east has just been quelled, and there are people in the west who shout rebellion.
For three years, a rebellion has been fought for three years, but it has not been completely quelled, and it is for this reason that it has not been completely quelled.
"Madam, madam, happy event, great happy event," Amethyst ran over with a letter on her face, and after hurriedly saluting, she said: "I just received the news that the women's army has captured the fleeing King of Qi, and the King of Huainan has also announced his surrender, and the rebellion of the two kings has finally been put down." Also, the third princess also sent you a letter, ordering you to enter Beijing as soon as possible, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”
"Oh, it's true? It's so good that it's finally too peaceful outside. ”
Wang Qifang took the letter of the third princess, looked at it, and said that Wang Qifang had already known about helping Zhizhou, and now he had caught the king of Qi, and wanted to reward the meritorious ministers, and ordered her to enter Beijing as soon as possible to be entitled. In addition, the third princess also vaguely mentioned that Wang Mingchuan and his son were caught in King Qi's army.
"What's wrong? Sister, you don't seem to be happy? ”
"It's okay, I'm going to go to Beijing, I bother you to help me watch the child on Peach Blossom Island, and when my sister-in-law comes back, you can go home again."
"Hehe, no problem, I just don't want to leave so early."
"Thank you, Jing Niang!"
After arranging the affairs of the family, Wang Qifang set off for Beijing, she can not be rewarded by the court, but she can't ignore Wang Mingchuan, even if he deserves to die.
On the third day after Wang Qifang left, Li Jingtian also arrived in a hurry, and when he heard the news of Wang Qifang's entry into Beijing, his face turned blue - it's too bad, it's still a step too late
