Sixth, the palace walls are deep
When the guards heard the sound of Fang Xiao throwing stones, they all stood up and ran towards the side of the stones, while Fang Xiao took the opportunity to sneak into Jinyang Palace.
Jinyang Palace was very large, it was really easy to hide, Fang Xiao hid first, and when those guards couldn't find an assassin, they would think of returning to Jinyang Palace again, but at this time Fang Xiao had already hidden on the beam.
They never dreamed that someone with such high martial arts could fly into the beam casually, so they didn't have the slightest doubt in their hearts, let alone look at the beam.
In this way, Fang Yu easily got rid of them, they came in to take a look, and after finding no assassins, they turned back, while Fang Yu got down from the beam in a big way and went to the dormitory of Jinyang Palace, he guessed that Jian Huaizhen must have been locked up in the dormitory of Jinyang Palace, in fact, he guessed correctly.
Although Jian Huaizhen lost her martial arts, her hearing was still very keen, and suddenly she heard a voice outside, the footsteps were extremely light, obviously not like an ordinary guard, so she was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Fang Yu had already heard Jian Huaizhen's voice, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly rushed in, and after he entered, he found that Jian Huaizhen was sitting upright on the bed, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.
Fang Yu knew that Jian Huaizhen would not be chaotic under any circumstances, so he called softly: "Sister Princess." ”
Jian Huaizhen was slightly stunned, raised her head, but saw Fang Xiao standing in front of her, as if falling from the sky, she was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Fang Xiao, when did you come?" ”
Fang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Not long after I came in, I came here with Compassion Han, and we want to rescue you." Sympathy is now responsible for diverting the troops from Wan'an Palace, so that others will think that there are assassins from Wan'an Palace, and I will be responsible for coming to Jinyang Palace to rescue you, let's go. After finishing speaking, he took Jian Huaizhen's hand and wanted to go out with Jian Huaizhen.
Jian Huaizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't go." ”
"Why can't you go?" Fang Xiao didn't understand it a little.
Jian Huaizhen nodded and said solemnly: "Because it is scattered now, there are still my brother and sister-in-law, who are still locked up in this harem." If I go with you, I'm afraid that the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou will be unfavorable to them. ”
"Don't worry, the emperor won't be so careless about family affection." Fang Yu said in a tone that was insightful.
Jian Huaizhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes, the emperor may not really do this, but the Empress Dowager Zhou is obviously different." As she spoke, she raised her head to look at Fang Xiao, and said slowly: "The wasp tail is on the needle, the most poisonous woman's heart, and the character of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she really dares to do anything." ”
"So what? Empress Dowager Zhou really dared to do this, and she also had to be careful. Why she didn't dare to do anything to you after she took you back for so long is just some scruples in her heart. Sister Huaizhen, don't think about it so much, you better go out with me first. Wait until you get out before you can think of a way to save your family, right? ”
Jian Huaizhen heard Fang Xiao tell her very anxiously, Fang Xiao is a very calm and quiet person, he rarely speaks to people in such a sharp tone, and he is now talking to Jian Huaizhen like this, obviously he cares about her.
Jian Huaizhen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go out with you first." ”
Jian Huaizhen didn't want to leave from the bottom of her heart, because she was afraid that after she went out, the emperor, at the instigation of the Empress Dowager Zhou, would really deal with Jian Wenying and Luoxue, but if she didn't go out quickly, if she continued to entangle with Fang Xiao like this, I was afraid that she would soon alarm others.
So after weighing it again, she decided to listen to Fang Xiao's words.
Fang Xiao saw that Jian Huaizhen was willing to listen to his words, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's leave quickly." As he spoke, he picked up Jian Huaizhen and was about to go out.
Jian Huaizhen hesitated for a moment and handed him his hand, so Fang Xiao dragged Jian Huaizhen and the two of them out together, and soon, they came to the exit of Jinyang Palace, Fang Xiao glanced at Jian Huaizhen and said to her: "Sister princess, offended." With that, he picked up Jian Huaizhen horizontally, performed light skills, and walked outside Jinyang Palace.
Those people only felt that the figure flashed, and then they couldn't see anything, they never dreamed that there were people with such high light skills in the world, so they didn't expect that Fang Yu rescued people, and they were still there stupidly guarded.
After Fang Yu took Jian Huaizhen out of Jinyang Palace, he hugged her and ran wildly all the way, and when he reached the edge of the palace wall, he found that Ji Qihan was already waiting for them there.
Ji Qihan smiled slightly and said to them: "I was waiting impatiently and wanted to go back and take a look, but it happened that you came." ”
Jian Huaizhen glanced at Ji Qihan and said to him, "Brother Ji, you are here too." ”
"yes. Alright, let's not say anything now, let's go. So the two of them, one left and one right, pulled Jian Huaizhen, flew up the city wall, and soon escaped from the palace.
After they went out, Ji Qihan looked back at the palace wall and said: "This palace wall is deep, I don't know how many people have been locked up, now the princess sister, you have finally come out of it, but unfortunately with your character, you will definitely go back." At this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I don't want to, but this harem is my home after all." At this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Fang Xiao looked around, heard the thunderous voices of people inside the palace wall, and said a little nervously: "Presumably we have already alarmed the guards, I think it is better to leave quickly, if one is not careful, and they catch it again, it will not be worth the loss." Brother Shaoheng is still waiting in Jianfu, let's go back quickly. ”
So the two of them picked up Jian Huaizhen on the left and right, and quickly rushed towards Jane's mansion.
Sure enough, after the news of the assassin entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was furious and immediately sent people around to investigate, especially to track down Jinyang Palace, she was afraid that Jian Huaizhen would be rescued, but what was she afraid of, what happened, and when she arrived at Jinyang Palace, she found that Jian Huaizhen had been rescued, she couldn't help but be furious, and immediately sent someone to track down Jian Huaizhen's whereabouts.
She knew what it meant that Jian Huaizhen was rescued, which meant that there was no place in her hands to hold others hostage, and when the time came, the 100,000 troops of North Korea, when she thought of this, she felt very scared in her heart.
Empress Dowager Zhou immediately gave an order, asking all the people to go out to chase after her, and to chase Jian Huaizhen back at any ordinary cost, but how could Fang Xiao and Ji Qihan's footsteps be comparable to that of the chasing soldiers? So in the end, it's going to be a no-brainer.
Empress Dowager Zhou was furious, and Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to comfort her and say: "That's it, the Empress Dowager doesn't have to be so angry, we should have expected that the eldest princess would have some strange people around her to help." A mere palace will definitely not be able to trap them. ”
"How can the mourners not panic, how can they not be angry? Do you know what that means, child? This means that the eldest princess no longer has any scruples in her hands, and she can fight to the death with the mourning family and your mother and son, does the mourning family want to watch your throne taken away? Speaking of this, she looked at Zhu Jianshen and spoke seriously.
Zhu Jianshen let out a long sigh and said to her: "Actually, from the beginning to the end, I think we did something wrong, if we don't have to go against the eldest princess, if I can ask the eldest princess for guilt after forcing Li Xian to death, maybe things won't be like this." My son is gradually understanding a lot now, so it's better for us to let Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue go and show our goodwill to the eldest princess. ”
"Nope." Empress Dowager Zhou said categorically: "People not only can't let go, but they have to be killed." After killing Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue, I don't believe that the eldest princess is not heartbroken, and I don't believe that she will not show up. In short, these two people must be killed in order to disturb their military morale. ”
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters absolutely do not approve of this, if this is done, then in the end, won't the hatred between us and the eldest princess deepen even more?" When the time comes, if we fail, there will be no room for return, is this what you are looking forward to, mother? ”
"Either way, things have come to this point where there's no turning back. It's okay to think about it, it's okay not to think about it, in short, everything must be done according to what the mourning family said. Empress Dowager Zhou said categorically.
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard Empress Dowager Zhou say this, he glanced at Empress Dowager Zhou, and tried to calm his heart, but he couldn't.
He said with some annoyance: "Queen Mother, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you are instigating your son from beginning to end, if you didn't let me rebel, how could I rebel?" If you really want my country's good, how can you let me be the enemy of the eldest princess? The son did something wrong, but blood is thicker than water, as long as the son apologizes to the eldest princess and pleads guilty, maybe she will be lenient with her son, and she may not really abolish her son's throne. It was the queen mother who has been instigating her son and letting her son go against her, in the final analysis, what the queen mother has done is not for her son, what you are doing is just for your power in the harem. ”
Hearing Zhu Jianshen say this, Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly trembled with anger, she pointed at Zhu Jianshen and said coldly: "What kind of bastard are you talking about?" You have to figure it out, I am your queen mother, didn't I say it, the eldest princess has more than one descendant of you, and Zhu Jianchen, but the queen mother only has one son, will the queen mother not be good for you in everything? When you say that, it really breaks the heart of the queen mother. ”
Zhu Jianshen himself felt that he had said a little too much, he glanced at the face of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and had no choice but to say to her: "Okay, it's my son who said it wrong, and he shouldn't have said these words." It's just that the affairs of the court, the sons hope that the queen mother will not take care of it anymore, as for this harem, the queen mother can take care of it as she likes. The son is a little tired, so the queen mother asked the son to rest for a while. With that, Zhu Jianshen walked out of the Qianqing Palace and no longer paid attention to the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou never dreamed that she had worked hard to make so many plans and wanted to compete with Jian Huaizhen, but in the end, the first person to oppose her was Zhu Jianshen.
Of course, everything she did was mainly for herself, hoping that she could control the overall situation, like Jian Huaizhen, she could control everything and grasp everything, but more or less it was also to prevent Zhu Jianshen from losing the throne, after all, Zhu Jianshen was her biological son, if Zhu Jianshen lost the throne, then she, the queen mother, would be nothing.
She has selfish intentions, but she also has a place for others, but Zhu Jianshen has never forgiven her until now, and has always thought that it is precisely because of her single-mindedness that things have changed to this point, thinking of this, she can't help but feel very uncomfortable, and let out a long sigh.
She made a decision in her heart, she felt that all this was caused by Jian Huaizhen, since this was the case, she must give Jian Huaizhen some color to see, Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue are not going to kill, especially Jian Wenying.
Zhu Luoxue is a member of the royal family, if he is moved, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people in the world, and it may be difficult to block the mouth of the people in the world, but Jian Wenying is different, and if Jian Wenying is casually accused of a crime, he can be dealt with.
However, just killing him like this, Empress Dowager Zhou felt a little panicked, and after thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a way, that is, to weave a charge against Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue, and then kill them in public.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, she felt that her plan was seamless, as long as the plan was good, then the 100,000 troops of North Korea might not be useful at all, thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh coldly.
She thought to herself, Jian Huaizhen, you think you are amazing, but compared with the mourning family, you are still a bad move, the mourning family doesn't believe it, the mourning family has no way to deal with you, no matter what the mourning family says, she is the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it easy to deal with you?
Thinking of this, she felt very, very proud in her heart.
Although Jian Huaizhen was rescued, she was not so afraid, she knew that if she went to the emperor to discuss these things now, the emperor would definitely not agree, in this case, it was better to do it first.
So she immediately sent an order to go down and extract Jian Wenying, Luoxue, and Scatter, extract them, and behead them at the noon gate.
Their crime is to collude with Fanbang and plan to subvert the imperial court, if the people of the world want evidence, the 100,000 soldiers and horses that Jian Huaizhen gathered outside the capital are evidence, with these 100,000 soldiers and horses, everything is convincing.
After thinking of this, she became a little proud, as long as she had these powers in her hands, she believed that Jian Huaizhen had no way to resist even if she wanted to.
Soon, his subordinates went to mention Jian Wenying, Ling Luo, and Zhu Luoxue according to the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhou, they were going to be beheaded at the noon gate at noon tomorrow, and the Empress Dowager Zhou also deliberately asked people to hide the news from the emperor, she was afraid that the emperor would know about it and would be dissatisfied with her, because the emperor was obviously a little dissatisfied with her now, and if she continued to toss like this, how could she be convinced?
In short, all this went according to her expectations, and after planning all this, she immediately sent people around to post the imperial list, saying that the court was going to kill the rebels.
One is Jian Wenying, Jian Wenying colluded with Jian Huaizhen and invited 100,000 troops from North Korea to deal with the imperial court. The other person is Zhu Luoxue, and Jian Huaizhen's maid is scattered.
Empress Dowager Zhou was going to behead Jian Wenying and Zhu Luoxue at the noon gate, and the news of the scattered people soon spread all over the streets and alleys, even ordinary people knew about it, and the secret agents of the Candle Shadow Shaking Red and the Confession Gate of course also knew it clearly, and they soon went to Jian's mansion to tell Jian Huaizhen and others the news.
Jian Huaizhen was recuperating on the bed at the time, because she was poisoned by the Empress Dowager Zhou, although she could prepare an antidote to this poison herself, but if she wanted to recover her martial arts, it was not a matter of three or five days, she was very anxious after hearing about it, and she struggled to get up, and said in a loud voice: "I must not let my brother and sister-in-law and Lingluo have anything, I must save them." ”
Jiang Shaoheng said to her slowly on the side: "Princess sister, why do you have to fight so hard, isn't your brother and sister-in-law also our brother and sister-in-law?" Don't worry, we'll help you get them out. But since the Empress Dowager Zhou has arranged it this time, then she must lead us forward, wanting to catch us all, if we are not careful, we will fall into her conspiracy. ”
"So what? What kind of swords, mountains and fires I haven't broken through, what kind of difficulties I haven't walked through, are you afraid of just a Queen Mother Zhou? Fang Xiao said disapprovingly.
Ji Qihan also laughed on the side.
After hearing them say this, Jian Huaizhen felt a little relieved, and she said slowly: "No matter what, going to the execution ground to save people will definitely be extremely sinister, you must be careful." Otherwise, if you fall into the trap of the Empress Dowager Zhou, what should you do? Empress Dowager Zhou has been scheming and has done so many things, what she wants to do is nothing more than to deal with me, in fact, there is nothing to fight about in this world, and I don't have Wu Zetian's thoughts at all. All I do is that I don't want the world to be buried in the hands of a person without conscience, and I don't want a tyrannical tyrant in the world. ”
"Don't worry, princess, how can we not understand what you think? Of course, I know very well, but this trip is very dangerous, and the princess must be cautious. ”
"This trip may not be as dangerous as expected, don't worry about it, princess sister."
Jian Huaizhen nodded, in fact, she had been worried in her heart, although this trip may not be as dangerous as she expected, but in fact it may not be without danger.
Empress Dowager Zhou must have been annoyed and angry when she saw Jian Huaizhen being rescued, and one of the things she wanted to do now was to deal with Jian Huaizhen quickly, so as not to have many dreams at night, otherwise she would not be so nervous that she would threaten her with the matter of Jian Huaizhen's brother and sister-in-law, which shows that she already has thoughts and plans in her heart.
After Jian Huaizhen discussed it with Jiang Shaoheng and the others, he said: "I think this matter of robbing the law field cannot be completed by a few people, so we must discuss it with Li Chengyu." There's one more thing I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”
When Ji Kaihan heard Jian Huaizhen say this, he hurriedly asked, "Sister Princess, if there is anything you might as well talk about it, just listen to it." ”
Jian Huaizhen nodded slowly: "Because this matter is very important, I also know that saying it may not be beneficial, but I thought about it carefully, and I still felt a little unsteady in my heart." ”
"What the hell is going on, you might as well tell me about it." Jiang Shaoheng also said from the side.
Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "Actually, this matter is very simple to say, it is about Li Chengyu. I know that Li Chengyu is a well-known general in the DPRK, he is an extremely talented and capable general, and I also know that if he leads the troops, the DPRK army will definitely be invincible and invincible. People like this are now sent to Daming to come to the rescue, and I am always afraid of ......" Saying this, she looked up at everyone.
Everyone has been with Jian Huaizhen for a long time, and naturally they are very clear about her thoughts, and after hearing her say this, everyone immediately understood.
What Jian Huaizhen is worried about should be that Li Chengyu is a very ambitious Korean general, since he has come to Daming with an army of 100,000 now, how can he return so inactively, maybe he will take the opportunity to deal with Daming, there is also some.
After hearing her say this, everyone fell silent.
Ji Qihan was stunned and said, "Then didn't I lure the wolf into the room?" ”
Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said to him: "I can't say that, if it weren't for Brother Ji borrowing troops, I wouldn't know what the chaos would have become, and it is imperative to borrow troops, but none of us expected that North Korea would send him to lead troops." But no matter what, since things have come to this point, it is beyond our control, we can only take one step at a time. At the right time, we must deal with Li Chengyu first, and we must not let Daming Jiangshan suffer any losses. ”
Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, everyone didn't speak, but they were very worried, what Jian Huaizhen said was not unreasonable, such as today is still the world of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of discord there is between Jian Huaizhen and Zhu Jianshen, they are always the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is also an ancestral industry for them, and they will do their best to protect the Ming Dynasty.
