Chapter 197: Returning from the Westward Journey

In the eyes of the emperor, Tang Yuan, as the grandson of the emperor and the king of the county, is not an idle person who dares to do it at all, and most of the murderers have enough background in the court. But thinking about it on the other hand, there is also a possibility that Tang Yuan intends to make a bitter 'meat' scheme, because the current situation is favorable to the Zhending faction, and it is naturally not easy for Tang Yuan to reverse the situation.

If the king of Zhending County was accused of murdering his brother, this would of course be a good thing for Tang Yuan. Not to mention that the crown prince has more reason to oppose Zhending's future succession, the emperor and queen will also be alienated from Zhending.

It's just that Zhending's status in the emperor's mind is extraordinary, so it is impossible for Tang Yuan to impress the emperor without suffering a certain amount of hardship.

The emperor thought so because of the meaning of Ning Shaobi's words...... Tang Yuan was punished before he died, and even died from punishment. According to normal thinking, Tang Yuan died in a house surrounded by 'guards', although he personally ordered that the 'guards' were not allowed to approach, but there may be an accident inside? For example, there is something important to tell you about?

Therefore, since the person who started the attack was 'mixed' into Tang Yuan's residence, he should have quickly ended Tang Yuan, and then fled far away - the problem is that Tang Yuan died of punishment! This is very unconscionable.

It's like Tang Yuan's 'desire' turned the tables with bitter 'meat', and as a result, he missed and died......

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor's face became even more ugly.

Because they knew that the prince would not approve of this explanation. Even if he came up with ironclad evidence, the prince would think that he had really forced Tang Yuan to such a point.

The emperor and queen were silent for a long time, and then Emperor Xianping sighed and said, "Wait for the Lang to come back, let people pay attention to the East Palace...... Koshiro and Xinglang have snacks there, don't make trouble! ”

Chun Yu the queen's 'color' nodded solemnly, Xianping was once cool and strong, and now the national strength is prosperous, seeing that the history book evaluation of the virtuous monarch and the virtuous queen is about to arrive, whether it is from the elders of the flesh and blood or the dignity of the emperor, they don't want to face the scandal of the royal family in their twilight years.

- The relationship between the crown prince and the emperor and grandson cannot be ignored, but Zhong Chongsheng's death must first be 'handed over' to the courtiers, because the court has already begun to discuss whether to send someone to greet Zhong Chongsheng when he enters Chang'an, or let him go directly to the palace to apologize?

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the courtiers are reminding the emperor and queen with such a subtle proposal: The Marquis of Yongcheng and his party are about to return, and it is time to discuss the merits!

Not to mention that the family members of the people who traveled west this time are looking forward to pinching, even if they are a little bit on the side, they are gladly waiting for the praise of the edict.

For example, Mu Kong Chanda, who ate two pieces of chrysanthemum 'flower' cake that the Ruan family sent to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, wiped his fingers slowly with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Calculate the day, I'm afraid that the prince and his party will return next month, no wonder the lady of the Chunyu family has come to visit you from time to time in the past few days." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie put down the tea bowl and said, "Mo Jiao and Mo Alcohol have been here a few times in the past two days, but you also think too much, with the queen mother here, where can you say anything to our family?" ”

——Two days ago, Chun Yujia's sister 'Hua' did come, but she didn't mention any credit, and even threw Zhuo Zhaojie aside, but played with Ning Yikuang and Ning Yihui for a while, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the twins.

Where can the people who traveled to the west expect any credit now, Tang Yuan is dead, and it is good not to be asked. But this matter can't be known to Mu Kong Cicada now, and Zhuo Zhaojie can only beat the 'spirit' spirit perfunctory.

"The prince is the envoy, the saint and the mother want to give Chun Yu thirteen graces, and the prince always wants to speak for the thirteen here, this is the famous teacher!" Mu Kongcian smiled and said, "I don't want to say that I don't understand what they mean by coming." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled faintly and said, "Yo, in this way, you are here today?" ”

"My sister-in-law, you can't speculate with ordinary people, I don't know if things will work out or not." Mu Kongcian disagreed, and said, "If it's really done, it's not too late for me to run her 'legs' - but I'm also willing to run this 'leg', it's not that I can't see her continue to be in the Shi family, but the thirteen lang of the Chun Yu family is really interested in her, and now there is a sincere person who doesn't marry, so why bother?" ”

He added, "This will have to wait until they come back to decide, but now the court has already taken the credit." ”

"What is there to say about this merit?" Zhuo Zhaojie smiled faintly and said, "Cousin Tang's life experience is true that the king of Yanchang County revealed 'Lu', and the decision to surrender Zhong Chongsheng is a matter of consensus among all the ministers. Moreover, it was my father who went to the Western Regions, and it was just one thing to fight back and forth. ”

Mu Kongcian squinted his eyes and smiled: "What you said is easy, your father-in-law is a righteous envoy, and no one can bypass him this time." What about your cousin Tang, I think if he was smart, he wouldn't care about it, it's very good that he got a knighthood out of thin air! But the prince always has to fight more for the king of Yanchang County, as for the Duke of Chu, how can he not say a few words for Chun Yu Thirteen? These days, the little ladies of Chunyu's family are not just coming to talk to you, Penglai Hall is running several times a day! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself that the prince was now ready to take credit for the king of Yanchang County, and he didn't know if he could believe it, the prince really didn't know that the king of Yanchang County had an accident? said: "This is an exaggeration, the Duke of Chu has always been polite and reserved, how can he fight for Chun Yu Thirteen like this?" ”

Mu Kong Cicada said: "Can you not be careful?" The Duke of Chu is also getting older, and his family's thirteen langs have been idle, and they are not like your Jiulang who has a title to follow. ”

He added, "The key is that my eldest sister-in-law's dowry must be very rich, how can the Duke of Chu be embarrassed to ask Thirteen Lang to live on his wife's makeup when the time comes?" Why don't you fight for a passable position for him, lest others laugh at Thirteen Lang for marrying my sister-in-law is Gao Pan? ”

"Chun Yu's family is similar to the 'door' of the Shi family." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled, "To be honest, don't worry, I think in the eyes of most people, Chun Yu's family is always a descendant." ”

"But the momentum of the eldest sister." Mu Kongcian smiled slightly, "It's okay for Thirteen Lang to marry the lady next to him, the eldest sister is so fierce, Chu Guogong doesn't want his grandson to be pressed by the eldest sister all the time." ”

It turned out that he was afraid that Chun Yu Sangye would be sluggish in the future.

Zhuo Zhaojie understood Chu Guogong's thoughts at this time, and couldn't help but smile secretly, and said: "In my opinion, the eldest sister doesn't care about what official position is not official, and if she can't suppress her words, it's useless if her official position is high." ”

Mu Kongcian smiled and said, "You said this the most, for example, you can hold Jiulang." ”

"Okay, why do you say it's on me again?" Zhuo Zhaojie smacked her, "By the way, I heard that the crown princess had a little cough two days ago, is it okay now?" ”

"Coughing or something, it's just something to the outside." Mu Kong Cicada said, "It's not that Green Ji, since she was beaten in the palace, she has been bedridden, and she is pretending to be weak in front of His Royal Highness the Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked her aunt to take care of her, but her aunt didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she coughed and let her pretend to be dead or alive in the Doubtless Pavilion. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself that Green Ji might be pretending to die or live now, but in a few days, she will really be dead and alive......

Although the Marquis of Yongcheng was injured on the road, he was responsible for the death of the king of Yanchang County, and he traveled day and night, non-stop, and actually arrived in Chang'an in late November.

They returned quietly, and did not even enter the city directly, but first went to a Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City to rest. Only the Marquis of Yongcheng, Su Shina, Tang Shenzhi, and Chunyu Sangye, after leading the close 'servants' of the king of Yanchang County in disguise, went around to the north of Chang'an City, and directly entered the Daming Palace from the Chonghua 'gate', and faced the saints.

The Marquis of Yongcheng coughed all the way to the palace, speaking of which, he was injured four months ago, but obviously the Western Regions were deserted, and he did not get the best treatment, and after the injury was stabilized, he was immediately busy on the road, and now he saw that the whole person had lost more than one circle, and his face was pale, but he needed Su Shina's support to cross the threshold of the palace in his prime - this appearance made the emperor and queen a little frightened.

Therefore, Emperor Xianping was slightly silent, and when he spoke, he was a little gentle, and gave the Marquis of Yongcheng a person to sit down, and then asked about the passage.

In fact, after Ning Shaobi said it a long time ago, there is no surprise that Yongcheng Hou is now speaking. It's just that when the emperor asked about the murderer, the Marquis of Yongcheng sighed and asked to retreat and let himself return alone.

Hearing him say this, the emperor's face was not good-looking, and she glanced at each other before agreeing.

After clearing the scene, the Marquis of Yongcheng knelt down and pleaded guilty with his couch trembling, and said: "The day before the assassination of the king of the county, according to His Majesty's order, he went to the Yue clan under the pretext of leaving Su Shina on Dongyi Mountain in case of accidents. When he was camping that night, he was ambushed! After that, he ran through the 'chest' for the long arrow and rescued Dongyi Mountain for his subordinates...... When the minister woke up, he was already the king of the county...... It's been five days since I went. ”

Five days of Chenguang, Tang Shenzhi and Chun Yu Sangye, who were in charge at that time, were both young and inexperienced people, Su Shina was capable and capable, but at that time, not only was the Marquis of Yongcheng seriously injured, Zhong Chongsheng also died of anxiety by chance, Su Shi Na's doppelganger lacked skills, and the second of the old men of the Yue clan must be in accordance with the priority of saving the 'life' of the Marquis of Yongcheng in the three things, the second is to suppress the rebellion of the descendants of the Zhong family, and the third is to investigate the murderer of Tang Yuan - so, when the Marquis of Yongcheng came to his senses and knew that Tang Yuan was assassinated and ordered to investigate, A lot of clues are gone.

The most terrible thing is that the most suspicious Hayabusa slave is missing.

Empress Chunyu asked with a cold face: "You really haven't found anything?" Such a big person suddenly appeared on Dongyi Mountain, and impersonated the real Hayabusa, and came and went freely, how could there be such a bizarre thing?! ”

The envoy inquired in detail about the people around the county king, and the king of Duyun suddenly called the falcon slave inside. And ordered the rest of the people not to disturb in advance, a few days before the falcon slave entered the house, there were 'guards' who rushed to the house in order to report the matter, and they were all severely punished by the king of the county, so ...... the 'guards' were far away and did not know what was going on in the house. The Marquis of Yongcheng knelt on the ground, unable to see his expression clearly, and only listened to his weak admonition, "In addition, the minister asked the 'attendant' guard, before the falcon slave left, they heard through the window that the servant 'girl' who was originally serving the king of the county said something such as 'the letter has been written, this will release the falcon', and then, the falcon carried by the falcon slave flew in the direction of Chang'an. ”

After hesitating, the Marquis of Yongcheng said slowly, "Although the minister didn't find out how the assassin sneaked into Dongyi Mountain and pretended to be a falcon slave to get close to the king of the county, ...... I thought that this assassin was probably a 'woman'! ”

"Because according to the king's 'squire' guard, this assassin was roughly searched before entering the king's house." The Marquis of Yongcheng said implicitly, "And the falcon slave ...... Most of them are palace people. ”

A 'female' 'sexual' assassin...... The emperor's face is even more unsightly.

The death of the prince at the hands of the assassins is already very unpleasant, or at the hands of a 'woman'......
