The twelfth - "cunning fox" Kun Erlang
Ten years ago, Yu Feng did have a southern tour, when the all-out war against the Northern Plains had begun, but some local generals did not obey the military order, opposed to the transfer, those people secretly colluded with the merits of their fathers and ancestors, trying to resist the reform of the system and continue to dominate one side, among which there were also the old departments of the King of Chu who were attracted by the desire for power, Yu Feng was determined to kill the chickens and monkeys to deter the unscrupulous people, so he went south to collect evidence of the anti-party violation of the law, and took the old department of the King of Chu to open the knife, kill three rebellious generals, and remove more than ten earls from office, The iron-faced resoluteness and resolute means, the people of Lizhen are fortunate to be ready to move retrograde at the beginning of the bud.
Not to mention that the auxiliary king was in charge at that time, even if he was simply observing the people's feelings and playing in the mountains and rivers, Yijing would not believe that the prince who was a good friend of her family would take the opportunity of the southern tour to make such an outer chamber concubine.
Well, this incident can only be a conspiracy.
But because of the suddenness of the incident, the woman committed suicide again, and the princess couldn't be sure for a while which force was controlling the incident, but the only thing she was sure of was not that she thought it was as simple as blackmailing and impersonating the clan's bloodline at first.
The woman who claimed to have had an affair with the prince had committed suicide, and the princess had no object even if she wanted to ask him, and the child was only nine years old, and she couldn't ask him anything.
And the dignified auxiliary king will never admit the "concubine" who has nothing to do with him because of the woman's suicide.
It's a bit weird.
And when the princess heard that the woman entered Beijing, she asked around where the Chu Palace, but by chance she met a royal history, and after asking about the inside story, she "kindly" led the mother and son who traveled long distances to come to Zhengzhengfang, and even more coincidentally, this imperial history and a group of noble courtiers who were dissatisfied with the tax reform came and went frequently, and he was present to witness, although the auxiliary king would not sit on the "stigma", but this matter is not something that the palace can cover up with one hand, I am afraid that at present, there are rumors in the market.
The prince went to Jinzhou, and the young son who was "looking for relatives" for thousands of miles lost his mother, and before the truth was unknown, it was impossible for Princess Chu to ignore it, of course, she had to keep the child for a while, and everything would be discussed when Yu Feng returned.
The more Yi Jing thought about it, the more confused he became, and he was worried for a while, and he didn't make up his mind.
And her three sons and one daughter quickly reacted after a short period of surprise and "cuteness".
Although Dalang Yujun is only twelve, he has always been old, so he naturally took the lead at this time: "Don't worry about the mother concubine, wait for her son to inquire carefully." β
In fact, not long ago, in order to test the virtue of the three sons, the auxiliary king came up with a rather "tricky" question, the three sons have their own coping, Da Lang is the most thoughtful and proper, Yi Jing also wants to see how Da Lang deals with this matter at this time, and he allows it at the moment.
Erlang Yu Kun has already resumed his playful appearance, without any strictness, and said with a smile as if he didn't take it seriously: "My son also went to the front with my brother to see the excitement." β
View: ......
The youngest sons Yu Gui and Xiaoxiao are still always intimate, the two stepped forward, one sat down next to the mother concubine, and even the words of consolation were the same, and the other said: "Mother must not be suspicious, there must be someone with bad intentions, and my father will never do such a ridiculous thing." One hurriedly echoed: "Mother, Daddy will definitely not do anything that can't stand us, it is bound to be a villain, Mother don't worry about this, vomit in vain, Daddy may not feel distressed when he comes back." One followed closely after him.
A pair of children defended their fathers so seriously, and the mothers felt a little blushing.
Yijing coughed: "Of course I can trust your father...... Okay, I don't need your persuasion here, in the end, there is a death, I am afraid that your great-grandmother will be worried when she hears about it, go and explain the ancestor, to speak more calmly, I still have to ponder the trap behind this, and wait for it to be dealt with later, and then I will explain. β
After sending San Lang Xiaoxiao away, Yijing pondered again, since the appearance of the mother and son was not blackmail, it must have been instigated by someone, and the mastermind was difficult to determine for a while, but it could be traced back to its ultimate goal.
At present, the situation is calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, not only the old eunuchs, but also the scholars of the poor family who have entered the imperial examination, and there are also those who are greedy for power. So, will someone try to use this means to cause her and Yu Feng to fall out of harmony with her husband and wife, and the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu will completely break up?
Yi Jing believes that this factor cannot be completely ruled out, although she trusts Yu Feng wholeheartedly, over the years, the cleanliness of her prince is also obvious to all, but in this world, not to mention the royal family, including the noble and famous families, although the concubine and the wife are not the mainstream, and the concubine is even more scarce, it is one thing for the husband and wife to be single-minded and unswerving, and it is another thing for others to believe it.
Although Yijing didn't care too much, she could vaguely hear some remarks, saying that her family was afraid of the prince, and she, as a wife, relied on her family background to be jealous and domineering.
Since there are such rumors, it is possible that people will believe them to be true and try to take advantage of her "jealousy" to cause trouble.
Moreover, the woman was so determined to "take death as proof", leaving only an ignorant and poor young son, if she was really a jealous woman, her prince would be difficult to argue this time.
This is a layer of possibility, but the probability of success is very rare, after all, Yu Feng just went to Jinzhou to observe the people's situation, and soon returned, if he did not hesitate to hand over the "concubine" to Dali Temple to investigate the crime of fraudulently defrauding the bloodline of the clan, even if he opened a vinegar workshop in his stomach, he would not break with Yu Feng because of this.
Yijing really can't believe that someone would be so naΓ―ve and shallow.
If this is not the case, why did the woman kill herself? Yijing changed his mind again.
If the woman is alive, as long as she is forced to ask by herself, it is inevitable that she will not show her feet, and it is more likely that the mastermind thinks that she is under the fire of jealousy, so she simply executes the mother and son secretly.
But leaving only a young son who is not threatening, no matter what the reason, he will wait until Yu Feng returns to theorize.
Because the ignorant young son is not threatening, and there are political enemies eyeing him......
Yi Jingxiu raised her eyebrows, which means that when Yu Feng returned and learned about it, even in order to prove his innocence, he would ask the young child to question, and because the other party was an immature child, he was bound to be unprepared, and it was impossible to interrogate such private secrets, and he would let the guards be present, and it was impossible to torture a young child.
Yes, that's what the woman's purpose was to kill herself!
It's just to cause the young son to meet Yu Feng!
But what threat can a nine-year-old child have...... Assassination?!
Yijing is still puzzled, but she is convinced that the only possibility, despite the unbelievable, is often the truth.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Jing remembered An Jin's secret letter not long ago, about the strange relationship between the jade concubine favored by the King of Xiliang and her Xiao.
Now, time has passed, Yi Jing does not think that Yu Haoxi will be as paranoid and frivolous as he was back then, he knows that Concubine Yu is a prisoner of Beiyuan and still stays by his side to pamper him, he is bound to have a plan, and now the fall of Beiyuan is just around the corner, if that person is not completely crazy, he will never cause the alliance between the two countries to collapse because of his obsession, so that many years of conquest will fall short.
The probability that the king of Xiliang suddenly went crazy is very small, and it is more likely that there has been an abnormal movement in Beiyuan, and he deliberately fell into the scheme in order to find out the truth.
Similarly, if the conspiracy that happened in front of him was not the cause of Dalong's domestic, it would definitely be the plan of the Northern Plains.
In short, before the truth is known, pretending to be a plan is the right strategy.
Yijing clarified the cause and effect, and had made a decision in his heart, but he still listened to the eldest son's opinion after "inspecting the scene": "The young man seems to be abnormal, thin and weak, and frightened only knows how to cry, and he can't answer his words eight times out of ten, but the son has also examined the woman's body, and based on the long history and the correct opinion of the trial, he thinks that this woman uses a dagger to cut off her heart, and her fruit is not an ordinary woman who is weak, and should be a person who practices martial arts. He must not be allowed to come and go freely, and it is only right that he will be dealt with when his father returns. β
Although Da Lang's opinion is not so leaky, but at his age, and he is not really involved in government affairs, such an opinion is indeed more stable than ordinary peers, Yijing praised his son's meticulous composure, and then in front of him, Zhao came to the clear sky and instructed: "Place the young \/child in the front yard guest house, take care of the servant woman, and ask the secret guard to keep an eye on it, remember not to let him move around at will...... Then let people secretly investigate where the mother and son entered Beijing, but there are people who go with them, as I expected, seven or eight out of ten have nothing to do with Xiliang, just be careful, don't show your traces, this matter, I will hand it over to Jun'er you supervision. β
Because Yu Feng traveled, Gray Du followed him, but of course the current Chu Wangfu is full of good hands, and there will naturally be no negligence in guarding a child, but what the princess didn't expect was that on this night, two people "braved" the guest house in the light and in the dark, causing all the servants and secret guards to be miserable.
One is Princess Changle, who is resentful because of the unwarranted damage to her father's reputation, and the other is Yu Erlangjun, who is full of scheming and has insight into being nicknamed "cunning fox" by Princess Changle.
When the moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is quiet, the princess in Guan Sui Garden has rested, and the old princess has fallen asleep early.
The secret guards saw that he was one of the three little langjun, and they didn't know for a moment whether to stop or let it go, because the princess ordered that they should only keep an eye on the children in the guest house, and did not say that they would not let the little master enter...... As soon as they hesitated, they saw that the little master actually sat down on the wall with Erlang's legs.
It turned out that Erlang saw his eldest sister coming with a few trembling maids carrying lanterns, waiting to watch a farce with a funny face.
Her Royal Highness the princess was covered with frost, and the maids she brought were all martial maids "rewarded" by Su Lian and the county lord of Pingle, all of whom were extraordinary.
Of course, the porter who is responsible for guarding the guest house is not an ordinary house slave who is powerless, but when he saw that the intruder was Princess Changle, he didn't dare to obstruct it, and when he didn't know what to do, he was slapped on the shoulder again, and he was almost scared to lie down, and it took a long time to see that it was Erlang - the reason why the porter could accurately identify it was because he knew that Da Lang and San Lang couldn't do the behavior of flying off the wall.
The porter broke out in a cold sweat again, he thought that his martial arts were extraordinary, but Erlang fell from the sky and he didn't know it, this surprise was okay, the key is that Erlang met the princess, and I am afraid that it will not be peaceful tonight.
Who knows, the usual pair of "one point" sister and brother have become good-tempered today, and they don't plan to turn the world upside down.
Although, Erlang's words are still not so "kind": "I said, Sister, what kind of trouble are you doing, you are aggressive and with a group of thugs, do you plan to kill people?" β
Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "It's better than you sneaky, I don't want to mess with you today, it's important to get in the way, don't get in the way." β
Erlang was not convinced: "You're not sneaky? Don't take advantage of the black light to blind the fire, aren't you afraid of alarming the mother, what can your well-developed brain come up with? It can't be torture to extract confessions. β
Although Xiaoxiao was despised by Erlang who said what she wanted in her heart, she was not annoyed at this time: "Why did that woman kill herself?" It can be seen that this child is strange! I'm afraid that my mother will have too many scruples, so I just cut it first and then play it, first force out who is behind him, and ask things clearly. β
"Sister can think of that child, and she is smart." Erlang pulled Xiaoxiao by the hand, and the two of them muttered in low voices.
Xiaoxiao actually asked the maids to wait outside the courtyard, and turned around to warn the porter: "Don't bluff, we will act carefully, all for the sake of the overall situation, beneficial and harmless, I will explain in front of the concubine, you just keep your mouth shut at this time and just don't notice." β
Her Royal Highness the princess confessed, and there were many maidservants eyeing her, and the porter had no choice, and then thought about it, the courtyard was full of secret guards, and he was not afraid that the two ancestors would make any mistakes, but it would be harmful and useless, so he was simply ordered to shut up, and only carefully watched the actions of the sisters and brothers more than ten steps away, so as to ensure that no accidents would occur.
Erlang and Xiaoxiao went to the outside of the bedroom, poked a hole in the window paper, Erlang took out the fire from his arms and lit a stick, leaned in, and lowered his voice: "Cover your mouth and nose, I have tried this incense, it works very strongly, be careful that you are poisoned, we have to stay for a quarter of an hour, when the boy in the house sleeps to death, it is good to open the window to ventilate before entering." β
Xiaoxiao immediately covered her mouth and nose.
And the young child who was lying on the soft couch in the bedroom had a dark light in his eyes at this time, and he didn't know what pill he had stuffed into his mouth, and then closed his eyes and held his breath.
