Chapter 40: Return to Taoism
On the evening of the second day after Xin Xin returned to the door, the Wang family came to the house and chatted with Zhezhe about some inexplicable things, one moment saying that the current Holy Emperor is magnificent, another time saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is diligent in serving the people, and another time saying that although the royal family and clan of this dynasty are high, there are few people who oppress the people in this way.
Zhezhe listened to it at a loss, his mind wandered for a long time, and he suddenly realized that a notice might have been posted on the emperor's list to inform him of the assassination.
It seems that this notice is mixed with a lot of water, and what her mother said is not like praise and praise, but more like finding a reason to excuse them.
After all, others are royalty, and one person is above ten thousand people, how can a small official like the Gongbo's family fight them? Naturally, they can only be left to their disposal, even if they are beaten, they have to give a smile, saying that they fell by themselves.
Thinking about it like this, Zhezhe couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he didn't speak for the whole night, just nodded and smiled, uh-huh, ahh
Wang was not too thirsty, and said for an hour, and finally talked about the key points, saying that he could return to the Taoist temple to continue his cultivation tomorrow.
This is the best news I heard tonight, what kind of birds are the people of the royal family, Zhezhe really doesn't want to know too much, it's too fake, hypocritical!
Because Ah Wan and Ah Ru's bodies are not yet well, the two maids who accompany them are the people around the Wang family, thinking of the days passed in the first two years, Zhezhe is very wary of them, and if he can ignore them, he will not ignore them, even if he must come over to serve, he can push them.
This time I went to the temple, and the two of them accompanied me, and there were no complaints when I got up early, but I was really tired from looking at it, so when I arrived at the Taoist temple, Zhezhe sent them to rest, and went into the wing room by himself, and went to wait for Kurong.
Sure enough, with a cup of tea, people came.
"Master, did the government post a notice again?" Zhezhe wanted to know how he was dealt with about his assassination.
"How do you know?" Ku Rong was surprised, "The uncle and his wife told you?" ”
"No," Zhezhe shook his head, and told her that Xin Xin returned to the door that day, and told her that this matter was related to the third prince, "Last night, my mother went to my room and praised the emperor, the prince, the prince, and the princes. ”
"That's right," Ku Rong nodded and shook his head, "But the notice doesn't mention the Third Prince." ”
"Huh?" Zhezhe exclaimed, and soon understood that if this was really done by the third prince, it would be a royal scandal, and it was natural to cover it, and it was not uncommon.
"If you don't mention it to me today, I can't think of the third prince," Ku Rong pinched his beard, these days, Yin Si has also been doing research with him, but he has not gained anything at all.
The living mouth that stayed, when the day Yin Si went to ask, he soon found out that it was indeed not from their Wei State, it should be from the Wu State, and the strength and status of the people behind it should not be weak, otherwise this living mouth would not have bitten his tongue and committed suicide on the spot after being detected.
The guards who followed the scene of the loss were fast, although the person was not dead, but he was speechless after all, and because it was in the territory of Wu State, Jing Zhaoyin came over, so he naturally handed it over to the official.
As expected, the person was in prison and died in less than a day, and Yin Si had to cooperate with the investigation and talked to the government several times. Regarding the fact that the assassin was carrying the token of the Wei State, Jing Zhao Yin and the Emperor of the Wu State had already confessed frankly that they believed that the Wei State was innocent before Yin Si could explain anything.
First, the people brought by Yin Si were all registered, and the tokens they carried, Wu Guo also knew that Jing Zhaoyin told him that the tokens on the assassins were fake, and there was a difference between them and the real ones. But the so-called fake token left by Yin Si is no different from the real one.
Therefore, Yin Si couldn't figure out the attitude of the government and Wu State, so he wrote a letter back to Wei State, and the Emperor of Wei replied to the letter, which also asked him to calm down and wait and see what happened.
After waiting for more than a month, a very different notice was finally issued, saying that the assassination of Gongbo Zhezhe was that he had met bandits, and that the officials were busy during the national funeral, so they wanted to take advantage of this to do something to kill people and sell goods. That day, the fog was heavy, and there were not many people out of the city, Zhezhe only happened to meet, but fortunately he met Liang Zhecheng and the third son of Wei, so he was spared the death of Yunyun, and finally praised Liang Zhecheng and Li Chenru.
"Isn't that?" There will be another country on the bandits, tokens on the royal guards? Zhezhe didn't believe it, besides, how powerful can the bandits be, how many waves of people who assassinated her that day, who is not a person who knows kung fu?
"I think it's a little strange too," Ku Rong nodded, and the notice kept things simple throughout, but didn't mention any incomprehensible details. If you don't think about it, you still think that this is the case, but if you really think about it, the bandits who came out to rob their homes during the national funeral are not bold, but want to rebel.
"This kind of notice is just making up a story to confuse the people who don't know it," it is said lightly and simply, and only treats people as fools. Zhezhe knew that the notice would be unreliable, but he didn't know that it was so unreliable, and if he thought about it two years ago, I am afraid that the notice would not be able to believe a word.
"Naturally," Ku Rong thought.
"This matter must be related to the people in the imperial city, even if it is not the royal family, it is estimated that it is closely related to the royal family," otherwise it would not be possible to do this, the government also helped to cover up, at first glance, it is a feudal dictatorship, who is the person in the center of power, who speaks counts, thinking of Uncle Li also died because of this, the whole person is very angry, the black can be said to be white, and if you want to cover it, it makes people can't help but want to scold their father and mother.
"Do you believe what Xin Xin said?" This third prince, Ku Rong has investigated, has no ambitions, just to be an idle prince. Because the emperor is not serious, he detains and searches on weekdays, which makes the people around him even more unhappy. It is always unreasonable to say that he spent money to hire someone to assassinate, or that he was a philosopher who had no relatives and no reason.
"No, I don't know about this third prince," Zhezhe shook his head, "But the people behind the scenes must be either rich or expensive." ”
Otherwise, it's a jade card and an assassin, where can you get so much money in an ordinary person's house?
"Naturally," Ku Rong nodded, "I heard that on the day Xin Xin returned to the door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went?" ”
"Here," Zhezhe nodded, "and the others look fierce." ”
"What did I say to you?"
"I didn't say anything," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been with Gongbo Shengde that day, and he mentioned it during the meal, "saying that he admired me very much and hoped that I would recover soon, why, what are you asking for?" ”
"It's nothing," Ku Rong explained, "I've only heard of His Royal Highness the Prince's diligence and love for the people, and I've never seen his demeanor!" ”
"Who knows if it's real or not?" Zhezhe pouted, "Xin Xin also said that he came to comfort our family that day, I thought that the notice behind would be truthful, who knew it was so outrageous." ”
If you want to come to visit, it is just a pretense to coerce and induce you to ask for consent, which is true.
No wonder Wang wanted to say those good things last night, so it was.
"Now, the uncle's family is considered to be married to the royal family, if it is really involved with the royal family, your family is also the in-laws of the royal family, and if you can protect your face, you still have to protect it," Anyway, since Zhezhe has proposed the three princes here, then he still has to advise him, and send someone to stare at it to see if he can get some news, after all, there is no wind and no waves.
"It's the most annoying thing like this, everything has to go to the related household," if the two forces are equal, it's okay to say, so unequal, you can only compromise without power, and the unscrupulous oppression of power, you get angry when you think about it.
"But the relationship between the world is like this!" Little girl, her thoughts are still very simple, clean and clean.
"How is Senior Brother doing?" Zhezhe changed the topic, I haven't seen him for more than a month, and I miss it very much.
"I'm still talking to the people in the official mansion," Ku Rong thought about it, he was afraid that he would still be in the mansion at this time, so he talked and rushed over to estimate that it would be in the afternoon, "But it's okay, it's just that the government came to apologize today, and I should have time to come and see you in the afternoon." ”
"Look what I'm doing," Weird embarrassed, "what do I have to see?" ”
"And how do I know?" You have to ask Yin Si, Ku Rong looked at the sky with his hands, "He's been so busy these days!" ”
"I know this," he is the prince of Wei, no matter how he says this, he is involved, so it is strange if he is not busy.
"Actually, it's good that this notice is written like this," we always know in our own hearts, "After all, Yin Si is the prince of Wei, and he is considered a hostage here, so if he is really implicated this time, then I really dare not say it." ”
If it is smaller, it will be punished alone, and if it is bigger, I am afraid that the relationship between the two countries will not be peaceful.
"But-" Zhezhe didn't say it, he thought about it seriously, and felt that what Ku Rong said was also very reasonable, there were too many people involved in this matter, and the Gongbofu was nothing, but it was the third prince, the prince of Wei, and the prince of Xiangguo, so naturally it was not trivial, and the notice was written like this to avoid conflicts between the forces of all parties.
Sometimes, sacrificing oneself and maintaining the overall situation is much more important than making a big deal out of the situation and suffering heavy casualties.
It's just that Zhezhe still feels that there is a burden and guilt in his heart, but he just didn't say it again.
"Tea, huh?" Ku Rong poured her a cup of tea and asked the two maids about their current condition.
Zhezhe chatted with her with a match, from the current recovery of Ah Wan and Ah Ru, to Uncle Li's family and their arrangements. As he spoke, the guilt and anxiety in his heart were also revealed, and when he said this, Zhezhe's mood was much better.
The two of them sat down until noon, after eating, and when they were sleepy, Zhezhe was in the courtyard, sat on a rocking chair, basking in the sun, warm, and after a while, he fell asleep.
