Chapter 12: Exile
The first line of the sixteenth letter
"If I have a chance to take revenge, if I am a woman, I will participate in the palace maid draft, because the risk will be a little smaller, after all, the goal of participating in the concubine draft is too big, making people think that they are coming with a purpose, not simple.
I will befriend Wei Qingjun, the daughter of Sinong Shaoqing, among the many show girls, and then find the handle and tell the handle to Zhao Hongen, the chief eunuch, because Zhao Hongen has a holiday with Sinong Shaoqing Wei Xiangwen, and he can borrow a knife to kill.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, ordered Sinong Temple Shaoqing to transport the stored grain to the disaster area, but the time to transport the grain was delayed for half a month, and the grain was moldy in the disaster area, Wei Xiangwen was dismissed and put on death row, Zhao Hongen could not be killed, and he had been in his heart for a long time.
Seeing Zhao Hongen's anxious appearance, Cai Yi didn't plan to tell the truth first, she wanted to lose her appetite.
"There is a way, but I don't know if I help you, what you can bring me, as the saying goes, no one will do good deeds for no reason!"
Zhao Hongen has been working as an errand in the palace since Gaozu has seen a lot of lustful people, and of course he knows what she wants for an ordinary woman like Caiyi.
"In a while, our family will go to give you a hundred taels of silver tickets, and after the matter is completed, we will give you a hundred taels, how about it, our family is bold enough! Say it! While our family is still a little interested, otherwise our family won't even give you a penny."
"Oh, Zhao Gonggong's shot is really magnanimous" Cai Yi glanced at Zhao Hongen: "Just one hundred taels of silver tickets sent me away, you came to you in the middle of the night, I came to ask you for food!" ”
"I ......" Zhao Hongen saw that no one was around and whispered to Caiyi: "Our family is adding two hundred taels, this is the limit of our family, it can't be more"
Looking at Zhao Hongen's calculating appearance with a small belly, Cai Yi sighed: "My father-in-law Zhao, do you only have money in your eyes, and nothing else?" Can't you think about it from afar? Want something that has nothing to do with money? ”
Listening to Cai Yi's words, Zhao Hongen said suspiciously: "You female doll, no one has ever dared to talk to our family like this, you are the first, our family admires you very much, say it, our family can satisfy you whatever you want."
"I want to ......" Cai Yi suddenly pointed at Zhao Hongen and said, "I want you!" ”
Zhao Hongen was startled and almost jumped up: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, nonsense, how can a person of our family with such an identity eat against you!" It's really unbelievable! ”
Maybe Caiyi is still young and doesn't know what food means, but judging from Zhao Hongen's performance, these two words are definitely not good words.
Cai Yi looked at Zhao Hongen in surprise: "Father-in-law Zhao, what are you doing here!" I haven't finished yet, your surprised look scares me! I mean, I want you to be my godfather, because I am a girl who is helpless for fear of being bullied in the palace, and they all say that Zhao Gonggong is wise and martial and upright, and I think it must be a happy thing to be your daughter."
Hearing Caiyi's explanation, Gonggong Zhao pondered for a long time.
"I don't know who this girl's surname is, please inform our family, otherwise our family has a goddaughter for no reason but doesn't know anything, wouldn't it be a big laugh to let people know!"
"Back to Zhao's father-in-law's words, the little girl Caiyi is the daughter of Gao Shishan, the captain of the dynasty, and the show girl who just entered the palace today"
It turned out to be the daughter of Gao is mountain!
Zhao Hongen pondered in his heart: Gao Shishan and Yin Hongzhi competed against each other in the court, and in private they were fighting openly and secretly, as if they were incompatible, and a few days ago I heard that Yin Hongzhi's sister Concubine Yin wanted to kill Cai Yi, who had not entered the palace, to dilute Gao Shishan's rights, I thought what kind of character Gao Caiyi was, but it was really unusual when I saw it today.
Zhao Hongen is the personal eunuch next to Li Shimin, he knows that the old Li Shimin has not had much time, although the crown prince is Li Chengqian's, but as long as Li Shimin does not have the battle for the prince of Bintian, it will never stop.
Zhao Hongen supported Li Chengqian at first, but after a long time, he found that Li Chengqian was too upright, and he was even more unaccustomed to himself, and he said many times in front of Li Shimin that he would punish himself, Zhao Hongen was very scared in his heart, and felt that if Li Chengqian ascended the throne one day, he would be the one who died.
So Zhao Hongen began to block the chips on Li Zhi, he just took a fancy to Li Zhi's youth, and if he really ascended to the throne one day, he would control it easily.
Although Li Zhi is ranked ninth, there is no hope of ascending the throne, but after all, he is the son of Li Shimin's favorite eldest grandson, so why not gamble with a 50% chance! Besides, Gao is a mountain is also Li Zhi's party, if you climb Gao is a mountain's daughter, it will be more beneficial to your future career.
Zhao Hongen pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that you are Miss Caiyi!" Our family has always admired the tall man's personality, although he is an official in the same dynasty but has little contact, our family never thought that one day he could become the godfather of Caiyi girl, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”
Cai Yi looked at Zhao Hongen with a smile: "Listening to what my godfather said this, I agree with Cai Yi to be your goddaughter?" It's really good, Cai Yi just thought about what to do if some fathers don't agree, isn't Cai Yi too faceless"
Cai Yi was happy to jump and jump in front of Zhao Hongen like a child, dancing like something had been lost and recovered, Zhao Hongen was also very happy, but he was happy that he could use Cai Yi to contact Gao Taiwei, but he knew that Cai Yi was happy that she was one step closer to his plan.
Both of them treated each other as their pawns from the beginning, both were pawns, everyone was in the fire, and neither was clean.
That night, Cai Yi told Zhao Hongen his plan, and the two hit it off.
Early the next morning, Wei Qingjun, who had not yet woken up, heard a noise outside the door, like Caiyi's voice blocking someone from entering, she wanted to get dressed and get out of bed to see what was going on, but what she didn't expect was that those people broke in.
Seeing Wei Qingjun's frightened appearance, Cai Yi hurriedly made amends: "I'm sorry Sister Wei, these people can't stop them from breaking in and playing with them, and they have to come in, and they also said that they are the eunuchs of the living temple who came to you by name, which frightened my sister!"
Living in the temple, before entering the palace, Wei Qingjun had already heard that it was the place in charge of the emperor's living, including whose green head card the emperor turned over, they were responsible for sending the concubines to the emperor's bedroom.
In an instant, Wei Qingjun's face turned red.
"Sister, don't blame you, these adults must have something to do with me, what is the reason why you stop people from letting people in, you go down first, I'll say a few words to the adults first, if there is something else, I'm calling you, okay?"
Hearing Wei Qingjun's command, Cai Yi nodded and said that he was pretending to be puzzled and walked out of the room.
After seeing Cai Yi leave, Wei Qingjun bowed deeply and said to the eunuch in the living temple: "Can the emperor call me when the adults come?" ”
A slightly experienced eunuch nodded: "Since you know that you don't want to go with us quickly, it is a great honor to be favored by the emperor, and it must be your ancestral tomb that is smoking!" ”
Although this eunuch didn't speak well, Wei Qingjun didn't take it to heart when he knew that he was about to ascend to the sky.
"Thank you for reminding me, can you give the folk girl some time to freshen up, the folk girl is now filthy and I am afraid that she will lose the emperor's love"
The eunuch didn't speak, just nodded.
Wei Qingjun sat in front of the dresser and was very excited, she just thought that if she could get the emperor's favor, then her father would be saved, and he would not have to die, but he didn't know the reason for this, maybe this is not the beginning of happiness, but the beginning of hell.
Wrapped in a cup by the eunuchs, she walked a long way, and although Wei Qingjun's memory was long later, when she was facing the sky on her back, the sky was royal blue, the breeze was very comfortable on her body, and the earrings jingled and rhythmically seemed to be playing some moving music.
It's been a beautiful walk along the way.
Later, Wei Qingjun's eyes were blindfolded and sent to a bed, the bed was very large, and the fabric of the very soft quilt was very comfortable to the touch, it must be the dragon bed that the emperor slept on, Wei Qingjun said in his heart.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the emperor coming, Wei Qingjun fell asleep with excitement and apprehension, and when she woke up, she suddenly saw a strange man in front of her staring at her.
That's Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shimin is no longer a young man, the years have ruthlessly left traces on his face, and the beard that once made her annoying has not been shaved off since he ascended the throne, maybe he is a person who misses the old.
However, there was nothing old in her bedroom except for a yellowed painting, and some concubines proposed to replace the old painting, but Li Shimin said that he did not agree with anything, he said that the painting was the woman he loved most when he was a teenager, and then asked him what the name of the person on the painting was, Li Shimin refused to say that her surname was Su.
Of course, Wei Qingjun also saw this painting, and she felt that the person in the painting was a little beautiful, and she couldn't help but say: "The person in the painting seems to be me!" ”
Hearing Wei Qingjun say this, Li Shimin refused at that time.
"No, you're not her, and you don't deserve to be her, and you dare to say that in the future, Hugh is ruthless"
Seeing Li Shimin's angry appearance, Wei Qingjun knew that he had lost his words, so he didn't make a sound.
After a while, Li Shimin suddenly asked, "I heard that you are the daughter of Wei Xiangwen, the young secretary of Sinong Temple?" ”
Hearing Li Shimin's question, Wei Qingjun hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Wei Qingjun, the daughter of the people's daughter Wei Xiangwen, is sixteen years old."
Li Shimin looked at Wei Qingjun and said, "Wei Qingjun! It turns out that you are so old, counting the time, I don't know how long I have locked up Lord Wei, I obviously know that he was wronged! It is really my sin to let him suffer this unwarranted disaster! ”
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Wei Qingjun hurriedly got off the dragon bed and knelt down for Li Shimin, kowtowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, the people's daughter entered the palace this time to save her father, my father is really overwhelmed by his old age, and I also ask Your Majesty to open the net and the people are willing to be cattle and horses for Your Majesty!" ”
Li Shimin helped her up from the ground and said gently: "Are you really willing to be my horse?" ”
Wei Qingjun didn't speak, and the shy expression on his face was unobstructed.
Like him when he was younger, Li Shimin drove a good horse to run on the grassland, stepped on the soft lawn, smelled the aroma of soil and wild grass, and looked at the rolling mountains ahead.
After galloping for several hours in a row, Li Shimin suddenly felt that this horse had been tamed.
"You...... Aren't you perfect? Li Shimin pointed to the white sheets and said.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, listen to my explanation, the maid was learning from the palace maid in the palace yesterday when she accidentally fell from the ten-meter steps and a lot of blood flowed from her legs, so that she ...... So much so that the folk girls are so"
Wei Qingjun didn't know what kind of language and tone to use to describe this matter, so that she spoke a little slurred, making people feel that he was hiding something.
Hearing Wei Qingjun's explanation, Li Shimin snorted coldly, maybe he didn't believe what Wei Qingjun said in his heart, after all, Li Shimin is not a child anymore, and he has never heard that falling from a height can not be perfect.
Li Shimin, who felt that he had been deceived, was angry and even lost his mind, and he ordered Wei Xiangwen's entire family to be beheaded and Wei Qingjun exiled to Bazhou.
On the day Wei Qingjun was exiled, Cai Yi came to see her off.
"This time I went to the high mountain and the road is far away, please pay attention to my sister's body, if I have the opportunity, I will come to see you," Cai Yi said with a pretending to be sad.
Looking at Cai Yi's fake appearance, Wei Qingjun smiled and said: "Don't bother my sister, if my sister can't die, I will definitely come to see my sister, and please live well, don't die in front of me."
After Wei Qingjun left, Cai Yi's face was full of reluctance, and the tear stains on her face had already wet her carefully put on makeup.
Zhao Hongen, who was on the side, looked at her appearance and first touched his mouth and asked, "Isn't this exactly what you want to see?" But looking at the way you look now, we really don't know if you're pretending or really sad."
Cai Yi wiped her tears, and instantly smiled, she looked at Zhao Hongen charmingly and said: What do you say! Godfather!
