Chapter 230: The Visitation
"What's wrong, I've enjoyed the wealth, you don't have to take things too seriously after death, go for it. ”
I only heard someone whisper, "I don't know if there is anyone to clean up for us after our death." ”
No one answered, the old lady let them all disperse, and everyone went back, but they felt empty and nowhere to put it.
King Duan was idle for a few days, and with the help of Concubine Qiong, he asked the emperor for permission to meet the ten princes.
The prison was deep and dark, and the smell of blood, coupled with the decay of the prison, smelled of despair.
The prison is full of repeat offenders, and most of them are numb, and when they hear someone coming in, they just move their eyes.
The ten princes were locked in the innermost, and the jailer flatteringly led King Duan, walking through the rows of cells, and the torches in their hands jumped and jumped, undulating.
When they arrived at the place, the jailer opened the door and walked away.
King Duan saw that the ten princes were only wearing middle clothes, which had been dyed gray, and their hair, which was carefully maintained on weekdays, had also been struggling, and he was sitting in the corner of the wall, motionless.
Although no one dared to torture him privately, his languishing appearance gave people a sense of despair and lifelessness.
"Tenth brother. ”
The Ten Princes raised their heads first, as if they had to turn around in their minds before they could react that someone was calling him.
Slowly turning his head with him, King Duan was sad for a while, his face was black, but there were dry tear stains, and the stubble had grown.
He just said indifferently, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm here to see you. ”
"Can't you wait for me to die, to see why I'm not dead. ”
"Why, since my father can let me come to see you, you may not be lifeless, I will definitely try my best to keep you. ”
The Ten Princes turned their heads back, not wanting to look at him again, "Don't pretend, go back and hide by yourself." ”
"At that time, I promised your mother that I would find a way to save your life. ”
Hearing this, the Tenth Prince stood up, turned around, and asked, "What?
"At that time, my father didn't want to listen to me, but I was allowed to see her, she didn't say anything, just let me see that she raised me, you and my brother, to protect you, and then I received the news that she committed suicide in the palace, I think she wants me to make up my mind to save you alone. ”
"What can you do with your guts? What about my mother's body?"
"He was sent back to the Zheng Guogong Mansion by the queen. ”
"What a queen, my mother must have been forced to death by her, this slut, the people of the Zheng Mansion are angry, how can they settle my mother concubine. ”
The old lady came forward and buried her in the Houfu Bamboo Garden, which can be regarded as giving her a quiet time. ”
The tenth prince walked up to King Duan and looked into his eyes, "If you really want to do something for your mother, don't let the queen's slut get her wish." ”
King Duan smiled bitterly, "Don't you know me yet? ”
"Didn't you reject me and take refuge in King Ye? As long as you have the heart, you will definitely have a chance. ”
King Duan looked at him in surprise.
"You don't have to look at me like this, don't treat everyone else as a fool, your position, everyone can see it clearly. ”
Duan Wang said, "I'll do my best, the most important thing now is to keep you, and I can't live up to her hard work." ”
The Ten Princes were silent, and they didn't seem to have much confidence.
King Duan knew that he didn't believe it, and he didn't say much, so he hesitated and asked the question in his heart, "Did she mention to you the death of my biological mother before her death?
"Didn't you say that it was difficult to give birth? Could it be that you found out something?"
"It's not counting, it's just a matter in the palace, it's hard to guess with common sense, you stay here, I'll try my best to make you feel better, and when my father wants to open it, I'll pick you up." ”
"If you're not sure, don't talk about it anymore. ”
When he got out of the cell, King Duan had already made up his mind that the investigation of these days, the death of his mother, there was indeed something suspicious, and the spearhead was pointed at Empress Yuan, and King Ye was the son of the enemy who killed his mother, and he could no longer be used by him.
King Ye and the Queen, none of them can match each other, so they only have ideas, let them fight to the death.
And there is one thing in front of you, which can be used just in time.
Went directly to the palace and met the queen.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye. ”
"It's so late, what's the matter?"
"Erchen came today to tell you something important. ”
The queen raised her eyebrows, "Oh? ”
"Naturally, it has something to do with the events of that night. ”
"Such an important matter, Lao Jiu, if you don't tell Your Majesty, tell me what to do. ”
"This matter is related to the third brother, I told my father, and my father is just a small punishment and a big commandment, but for the queen mother and the third brother, it is unfair. ”
"Well, tell me about it. ”
"The mystery of the holy decree of the day made the third brother and the tenth brother go toe-for-tat, so that others can benefit, and the joint lies in the extra holy decree, and the queen mother must be investigating its origin. ”
"So, you know?"
"It's the eldest brother, the tenth brother wooed me that day, I didn't agree, I had to seek refuge from the eldest brother, and I accidentally learned of his plan, I didn't expect the gentle and elegant and honest eldest brother to have such a delicate mind. ”
"What evidence do you have?"
"There are only a few who have the ability to do this, the tenth brother will not do it, the third brother will not do it, and the fifth brother has already won the battle, and there will be no more branches, the eldest brother has been asking for a storage position for many years, and it is inevitable that he will take risks, he did it secretly, I didn't get the evidence, but I also got some news. ”
"King Ye sheltered you, but you want to harm him?"
"It's just a cycle of cause and effect, and he owes me. ”
There was a hint of mockery in the queen's eyes, but she said, "I know, I will go to someone to verify, but I don't know the camp of King Duan in the future?"
King Duan bowed and said, "Only the queen mother, the third brother, the head of the horse is Zhan." ”
"Okay, okay, you won't regret this decision. ”
"The sons have something to ask for. ”
"Say it. ”
"Concubine Zheng has the grace of nurturing me, I grew up with my tenth brother, and I ask the queen to help me save my tenth brother's life. ”
"Now Your Majesty is soft-hearted, if you just save your life, there should be a way, don't worry, I will help you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Jiang Yu's deployment was also a great success, and the specific harvest was also quickly sent to Xie Ling from all over the country, and after Xie Ling sorted it out, he submitted it together with Jingli's case.
At this time, more than half a month has passed since the night of the rebellion, and Jiang Yu has already returned.
The emperor saw the result and was glad in his heart, Lian Jin really arranged a big game of chess, but fortunately he found it and stopped it now.
Jiang Yu has made a lot of credit this time, and when he comes back, he needs to be rewarded, and Xie Ling should also be officially promoted to the middle school squire.
The emperor thought about it for a long time, but decided to sort out the results and make them public, and the state of Chu was not a soft persimmon, and it was left to others.
For a time, the Shang State sent countless meticulous works to break into the Chu State, and the news of being found out quickly came out, and the Chu people were all filled with righteous indignation.
The three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Qi only felt that their lips were cold and their teeth were cold, even if the Jin merchants had been allies since ancient times, they did not dare not investigate carefully to prevent the Shang countries.
The Chu people waited for the response of the Shang State, but the envoy of the Shang State approached Chu Jing unhurriedly.
Cui Yue learned that Lian Jin's plan was discovered and he had suffered a lot of losses, so he was naturally angry, since the last defeat, in addition to being injured in his body, he was also hurt in his heart, and the whole person became impatient, sensitive, and unable to control himself.
When Ning Ming was busy, he still had to appease her, the original light and light color had long disappeared without a trace, and none of the Xie family members were good at stubble, and they were also seriously underestimated.
The envoys of various countries are about to enter Beijing, which means that the Five Nations Conference is about to begin, and there are suddenly more people in Chujing, and the major inns are full of eighty percent, and there are always many Jianghu people with weapons on their backs on the streets.
These days, the law and order in the capital is much more chaotic.
King Jun is in charge of this part, which is not easy to deal with.
The three sisters are also considered to be from the rivers and lakes, so King Jun asked them to help come up with ideas.
King Jun said, "Many of these people are from other countries, we can't be too rude, but we can't let it go, it's really difficult to control." ”
He Zhou said directly, "These people, they don't obey, they only obey the strong, you find a few masters, and deter them first, and they won't dare to jump around." ”
"What kind of master can suppress all the people? Your current identity, and you can't make a move at will, do you want me to invite those masters in Chu Jing who have long since been born?"
He Zhou scratched his head and said, "It's nothing to make a move, but when I think about it, as long as we make a move, it will be an endless challenge, which is very annoying." ”
Tian Shen looked at him and shook his head with a light smile and said, "Although Brother He is imaginative, I think he is right, dealing with them and countering violence with violence is the best." ”
King Jun said, "My father's birthday hasn't started yet, and the capital is already in chaos, fighting everywhere, how can it work." ”
Sister Yan thought for a while and said, "They seem to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but they are still afraid of the government in their hearts, if they don't think that there are many people in the rivers and lakes in Chujing now, and the government is difficult to discipline, they don't dare to jump around, whether it is the people of Chu or other countries, we still have to be tougher, salute first and then soldier." ”
"It seems that Miss Xie has a charter in mind?"
"It's just a rough idea, Brother He and Tian Shen have not been in contact with these, but I know a thing or two, since we both want to hold the Five Nations Conference, we have to formulate rules, no one has to abide by them, we must have the ability to enforce the law, in order to calm their hearts that are about to move. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"First of all, the capital is now mixed, we must ensure the safety of the people, not let those people do as they please, and secondly, we must mobilize heavy troops, and every street must be patrolled to prevent those who have a heart from taking advantage of it. ”
"There is nothing to patrol, let everyone be fortunate for a month and two months, protect the people, and everyone will not have complaints, but there are some masters, it is difficult to suppress it. ”
"Then send archers, mobilize military heavy crossbows, and make reasonable arrangements, tens of thousands of troops in Beijing, can't they still keep the law?"
"Wouldn't that be too serious?"
