Chapter 489: A Familiar Infiltration
Only four words without a beginning and no tail cannot fully explain the situation.
Judging from the current situation, the biggest possibility, and the most hopeful thing for Wan Wan subconsciously, is that Zhao Zixuan escaped. But conjecture is not the same as facts, everything is possible.
Because she didn't know if the inside story was the consensus reached by Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Zijing, Wan Wan did not ask anyone. This matter hung in his heart, until the first snow fell this winter, and Su Long returned to Beijing. He was accompanied by the people of the Four Gates, as well as ...... Zhao Zixuan's coffin.
A number of officials in the north were killed and injured due to the rebellion instigated by the four gates, whether dead or alive, as long as they protected the people and resisted the rebels in that rebellion, Zhao Zijing only took demotion as a disposition for following Zhao Zixuan's rebellion, which is not lenient.
The four doors are special, so the four doors are even more lenient, and a written article erases the past. Those who died in the chaos of the four gates and left their families were treated favorably, and those who were alive still served in the four gates, and their positions were only promoted and not demoted compared to the northern capital. If you don't want to stay, you will be dealt with according to the resignation, and the gift plate will be wrapped up with it.
As for Zhao Zixuan, Zhao Zijing's handling is quite interesting. He ordered Zhao Zixuan's biological mother to be posthumously crowned as the imperial concubine, but there was no posthumous title for Zhao Zixuan himself.
Do not blame their sins, do not praise their merits.
It is said that Zhao Zixuan's body should be buried in the fief, but Zhao Zijing took back the fief that originally belonged to Zhao Zixuan and ordered him to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
In the imperial mausoleum, the emperor and concubine are buried, and the heroes and famous generals are buried together. As a prince, he cannot be buried in the imperial tomb unless it is a special honor.
It is said that the burial of the imperial mausoleum is a glory, but Zhao Zijing did not build a mausoleum specifically for Zhao Zixuan, and the place he chose was not his burial group, but simply rebuilt Cheng Wu's abandoned tomb. How simple is it, it's just a change of stele and scratching the murals in between.
Zhao Zijing's will was issued when Su Long reinstated the decree, and all the ministers were there. When the two soldiers opened the lid of the coffin so that Zhao Zijing could verify it, several ministers standing in front of them also saw the situation inside, including Wan Wan.
The wind is cold and the snow flakes are flying.
The wind poured into the coffin, but it couldn't make any movement, everything outside the coffin was alive, and inside the coffin there was only dead silence, frozen dead silence.
The snow fell one by one, falling into the coffin, and falling on Zhao Zixuan's eyelashes. When those eyes opened, they were brighter than the sun, and the smile and vitality in them were brighter than the spring light. But now, those eyes closed without any expression, and only a lifeless pale mass remained.
Wan Wan's mind stopped for a moment in the heavy snow. It's just for a moment. Because in the next moment, Gu Changsheng, who was standing behind her, pulled her sleeve without a trace, and the strength was two light and one heavy. This is the code word of the four gates. It is used to imply to a companion and not to believe what you see.
This kind of code language originally came from Tianmen, and it is commonly used by people who catch fast clothes in brocade clothes, so these are simple, and Wan Wan still understands them.
Several different speculations tumbled in Wan Wan's mind for a whole hour, and the time was finally suitable to speak. At that time, they were already in the Simen Mansion, but Gu Changsheng did not say the details directly, only said that they would know the details in two days.
Two days later was the day Zhao Zixuan was buried. The imperial tomb is more than half a day's distance from Bianliang, and Zhao Zixuan's coffin has no time to stop in Bianjing, and this funeral is really hasty and simple to the extreme.
If Zhao Zijing intended to bury Zhao Zixuan simply, he personally went to the imperial mausoleum for burial. If he was very important, but he did not bring the civil and military ministers, the two generals who accompanied him still led the duty of guards.
Zhao Zijing had just left the city gate, and the corners of Bianliang City were crowded with whispers. The most discussed topic is Zhao Zixuan, some people say that Zhao Zixuan exchanged his life for the stability of the Great Song Dynasty and the lives of those officials in the north.
Zhao Zixuan holds four doors in his hands, and he may not be able to compete with Zhao Zijing. When the world was about to be in turmoil, he chose to give up, along with his life. Wisdom, bravery, benevolence, righteousness, he can afford every word.
It was night, and countless places in Bianliang City quietly lit paper money ingots. The smell of incense and candles was blown away by the cold wind in an instant, and there was no trace of it.
At the same time, Wan Wan, who stayed in Simen to deal with the resettlement affairs, waited for Gu Changsheng. On his own turf, he actually walked through the window instead of the door.
Gu Changsheng was carrying a huge package, looking like he was going to go far away.
Wan Wan looked at the exaggerated big package and couldn't stop smacking, "Who are you?" ”
Gu Changsheng said slowly and silently with his mouth: "Let's rush to the imperial tomb." ”
Wan Wan put down her pen, stood up and relaxed. And the second half of the nonsense was not there, he immediately picked up Gu Changsheng and flew out of the window he had just climbed into, and galloped all the way to the imperial tomb. The speed was so fast that Gu Changsheng couldn't even speak clearly.
Fortunately, his mouth was slippery enough, and after he arrived at the periphery of the imperial tomb, he explained the ins and outs carefully in one breath. The main stem is extracted: Zhao Zixuan was just pricked by him a few times and faked his death to show the world.
Wan Wan's heart that couldn't go up or down was finally comfortable, she looked at the package behind Gu Changsheng, and said, "Yesterday you said that you were leaving Bianliang, did you want to go with the official family?" ”
Gu Changsheng nodded his head happily, and a pair of eyes lit up in the dark night, "We are going to sea, I have heard that there are countless treasures hidden in the sea before, and some people have seen the Xiandao Sea Market." If I am lucky, I will have a few batches of treasures, or if I meet an immortal, it is also possible for me to become an immortal. ”
Wan Wan sighed twice, patted Gu Changsheng's shoulder and said, "Ambitious!" ”
After that, she observed the guards on the periphery of the Imperial Mausoleum, and the two stopped making a sound, and sneaked into Cheng Wu's mausoleum with a tacit understanding and familiarity.
Zhao Zixuan's coffin has been placed inside. The time of sealing the tomb was on the second day, and the tomb door was still wide open, and there was no one in front of the tomb to keep vigil and burn paper, and there was no one to guard in the huge mausoleum, which was deserted. The murals in the tomb were all scratched, and the traces caused by the rough technique were reflected in the firelight, which made Wan Wan have the urge to draw a circle and write the word "demolition" in a circle.
There was no exception, Wan Wan and Gu Changsheng were familiar with the road, and soon came to the tomb. An unexpected scene appeared in front of my eyes.
Zhao Zixuan, who was supposed to wait for Gu Changsheng to wake up, was already sitting on the lid of the coffin. There are two other people in the tomb, one is Zhao Zijing, and the other is a famous eye-catcher, who is a master at listening to breathing.
Gu Changsheng didn't have any baggage, so he simply bowed to Zhao Zi neatly and said, "Official, you are here too." ”
Zhao Zijing smiled, "I want to come." ”
Gu Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at the chamberlain deeply, and walked to Zhao Zixuan's side and stretched out his hand to take the pulse. As he did this, he had the same smile on his face all the time.
When Wan Wan greeted Zhao Zijing, Gu Changsheng also took the pulse, put down his hand and looked at the waiter again, his eyes were a little more curious.
Zhao Zijing asked Gu Changsheng, "What can I bring enough?" ”
