"Did you say you would let us help?"

"Yes, I won't send someone to invite you." Shi Zhenzong turned to one side, revealing a thin but extremely agile person behind him.

Qian Jun took the token handed over by the man, examined it carefully, and made sure that it was correct.

"The third floor of the South Chamber of Commerce Pavilion."

"Good!"

The man saluted, turned around and went out, and when Qian Jun walked out of the room, there was no longer a figure in sight, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

The prince's subordinates, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, he himself has wisdom and cleverness, Qian Jun feels that he really doesn't need to worry so much, at this time, although he has to fight with all his might, but he can't make the prince feel uneasy.

They quietly entered Beijing, which was enough to catch Liu Linshen off guard, and it was not very difficult to win.

The key is secrecy.

Qian Jun carefully changed his clothes, pretended to be a forty-year-old businessman, and sat in the carriage in the courtyard.

This courtyard was so dilapidated that there was no good gate for it, and only a fence was nailed to the tattered wooden planks, just enough for horse-drawn carriages to pass.

The crown prince has been in Beijing for more than one day, otherwise, how can he know that the emperor's trip will be in these two days? He will do it tonight to eradicate all Liu Linshen's people, and tomorrow morning, let the cabinet ministers go out of the city to officially welcome him into Beijing, and then he will smoothly take over the emperor's class.

Qian Jun's task is to carry out tonight's action. Anyway, Liu Linshen and Liu Guifei are also his enemies, and the prince believes that he will never be merciful.

"Kill or put people under house arrest?" Qian Jun asked.

The prince glanced at his cousin, do you still need to ask?

"Of course, it's better to wait for me to ascend the throne and then behead my family instead of assassination!"

This is really troublesome, but Qian Jun doesn't find it difficult, these days, he has been prepared for a long time, and he has been with the prince for two years, and he knows what the other party thinks.

"What should Zhang Fengrui do?"

"Huh!" The prince made a gesture with a knife, like this kind of little person who has no shame and is extremely dangerous, of course, the more simply the better.

"Who is in charge of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?"

"Haven't you looked for Yao Suiwang? This man is good, let him be on top. ”

Qian Jun shook his head: "Your Highness, I just thought about you and quietly contacted it, but I didn't promise anything, if I want him to come up, I have to speak from you." ”

The prince is very satisfied with Qian Jun's little cousin, like his uncle Wang, he is very measured, he shouldn't stretch out his hand, never stretch out his hand.

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact Yao Suiwang, and you just do it when you do it."

On the night of this day, the capital was as calm and serene as a few days ago, although after the emperor was seriously ill, a strict curfew was implemented at night, but ordinary people, tired after a day's work, have long been exhausted, who does not go into the bed after dark?

The next day, the people didn't feel anything, only the ministers of the court were a little surprised, these days, the cabinet and the first and second grade officials, but also come to the court outside the palace, after all, important state affairs, still have to be dealt with, and the court cabinet and the emperor's heart palace are only one hundred and ten steps, what is the movement over there, this side can know the first time.

"Mrs. Liu occasionally felt cold and was bedridden, so she couldn't come today."

After receiving this news, several scholars in the cabinet smiled slightly: "Taishi Liu is old, let him take a good rest." ”

But the next news, several scholars felt a little interesting: "Zheng Zhongxuan, the secretary of the military department, occasionally felt cold last night and couldn't go to court. ”

How can it be so coincidental?

When the third news came in, several people in the cabinet stood up, and the horror in their hearts could not be expressed in words: "Zhang Fengrui, the president of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, drank too much last night, accidentally stumbled, and rolled down from the second floor of the Terracotta Division's official house, and now he is unconscious. ”

Next, there were a few more pieces of news, all of which were news that something had happened to Taishi Liu's strong supporters, and the fool also knew that someone had done it.

Who is it?

Several cabinet scholars are all old and sophisticated, and now they naturally understand what is going on, they pretend to deal with state affairs, and they are very busy watching the twists and turns, but in fact, they are all waiting for the main master to appear.

Sure enough, the news came, and the letter soldiers on fast horses shouted all the way into the city gate: "The great victory in the western frontier, Prince Ren led his troops to annihilate 100,000 Tartars in one fell swoop——, killed its commander - destroyed its city-" For a while, the people of the capital thundered with joy.

The cabinet also immediately received the news: "The prince's class has returned to the court, and now he has traveled to Shangmapo, ten miles away from the city——"

"Hurry up—" Yang Jian, the first assistant to the cabinet, hurriedly announced loudly.

A few old men, straightening their hats, tidied up their clothes, and hurried out to greet them.

Although they didn't receive any news from the Winged King, they believed that the Winged King might not have the ability to leave the mansion today.

The soldiers of the western frontier brought back by the prince and Qian Jun were dispatched more than 1,000 people, wearing the new military uniforms and new armor sent from the military department, and entered the capital majestically.

The main owner is putting on a show on the street, and Qian Jun, the "underground party", has to continue to complete the unfinished business.

Today's inner courtyard of the palace has also undergone earth-shaking changes, the queen who has eaten fasting and recited Buddha for 12 years suddenly opened the palace door and walked out, and sealed Liu Guifei's Bixi Palace in one sentence, Liu Guifei's most powerful assistant, the eunuch Zhao Dun, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the pen, suddenly evaporated from the world, and did not see the figure, and Liu Wen, the eunuch who usually served the emperor's palm print, personally protected the queen and took care of the emperor in the palace of raising the heart.

Other concubines and nobles were also strictly ordered to stay in the palace and not to move around at will, and violators should be beheaded.

This order went down, not that no one disobeyed, a few palace maids and eunuchs, cautiously went out to investigate, and were immediately killed by a samurai dressed in black, even his head was covered, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, and suddenly, the inner courtyard of the palace was like a Shura field, and people didn't dare to come out, where would they dare to think of anything else?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the ceremony to welcome the prince into the city ended, I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, the prince cried with tears on his face, supported by several cabinet ministers, and stumbled into the inner palace, he said that he would personally serve the sick, and he must serve him well, so that the emperor could get through this hurdle, but before the prince had time to walk to the emperor's heart palace, there was a crying voice inside: "The emperor died-"

The prince cried as hard as he could, and Yang Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, pulled the prince: "Please mourn, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and please stand up first, so that someone can preside over the overall situation!" ”

The crown prince was put on a chair by several old men in their fifties and sixties, and accepted their bowing, and the fifth emperor of the Jurong Dynasty was born, with the year name Yongchang.

Before he officially ascended the throne, Emperor Yongchang hurriedly promoted two military generals - Jiang Biyun, a general in the southwest, and Hou Hewu, a general in the central and southern regions, as the general soldiers.

The two of them were originally subordinates of Liu Guangzhong, the commander-in-chief of southern Xinjiang, but now they have ascended to the sky in one step and become the same level as Liu Guangzhong, not only dividing the forces of southern Xinjiang, but also forming a clamping trend over there.

The reason why these two fought back was naturally because someone rebelled, and the hero was Shen Mingxi.

Emperor Daxing died on the 27th day, it was an auspicious day of the zodiac, Emperor Yongchang passed the enthronement ceremony, continued to keep filial piety to the twenty-seventh day, took the ministers, buried his father, Jurong Dynasty, and restored peace.

Ordinary people, except for the year when they are not allowed to marry, do not feel any changes, they still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, the crops are still so long, and the days are still like that.

Wen Jin's life has basically not changed, if there is a change, it is that she has become bolder, and she will not be allowed to marry within a year, and the third prince of Liao will not dare to force herself to be a concubine, right? She was eager to take a trip to Minghu City.

The weather in mid-spring is the most sunny, the flowers are green, Wen Jin walks and plays all the way, and the days are very happy.

On the second day of Wen Jin's departure, a big official came to Linjin Town, the suona gongs in front of him were blowing and beating, the flag was held in the middle, fluttering in the wind, and finally, it was a blue sedan chair.

The official in front of the sedan chair shouted: "Silence-" "Avoidance-"

Frightened the people on the side of the road to their knees.

"Don't disturb the people!" The man in the sedan chair commanded.

"The emperor ordered that when you ask Lord Qian to return to his hometown, he must be majestic!"

The person in the sedan chair sighed silently, he was just homesick, but he didn't expect the emperor to misunderstand.

Someone in front of him had already rushed to the door of Qian's house to report the good news: "The eldest master of the Qian family, the second master, the third master of the Qian family——, is returning to his hometown——"

The third child of the Qian family, isn't that Qian Xiancong? The people in the town were surprised, he didn't die, not only did he not die, but he also became a big official, how big an official he was, he could sit in a sedan chair, fortunately the Qian family was at the edge of the village, otherwise, this small narrow road in the countryside would not be able to go down.

An old man walked out of the black gate, and pointed north tremblingly: "The Qian family has moved to Shanwo Village. "This is Wang Dashan's uncle, Baoshan's father, and he is also a smart person in Linjin Town, but unfortunately, in front of such a majestic guard of honor, he was still frightened.

Not long ago, Qian Wencai suddenly ran back and sold all the land and house in his family, the courtyard of the Qian family is now surnamed Wang, and the second master Wang didn't dare to say more, so he could only show the way.

Yu Hou, who was standing in front of the sedan chair, ran to the front of the sedan chair and reported: "The Qian family has moved to Shanwo Village." ”

"Oh? Then let's go over and have a look. Qian Xiancong is very strange, I don't understand why my brother wants to move, he hasn't been home for more than ten years, he sees some faces, faintly familiar, but he can't recognize any of them, besides, the emperor has a life, he must be majestic.

Qian Xiancong will not forget, the little emperor said with a serious face: "This is not only your face, your majesty, this is the face of the court, the prestige of the court, you can't lose it to me." ”

If it weren't for this, Qian Xiancong would have thrown these honor guards to the post station, and he hurried all the way home.

Six miles of road, soon arrived, this time, the newspaper had already called out Qian Xiancheng and Wei, the two heard that it was the third brother Xiancong who came back, and they cried when they stood at the entrance of the village.

Qian Xiancong saw it from the crack of the sedan curtain, and he couldn't care about any majesty and face, so he shouted to get off the sedan chair, and without waiting for the sedan chair man to press down in front, he lifted the sedan curtain and jumped down.

His brother and sister-in-law are old, but he still recognizes them at a glance.

"Second brother—"

"Third brother-" Qian Xiancheng originally valued family affection the most, ran forward, hugged Qian Xiancong's shoulder, and cried, regardless of his younger brother's official house, the salary of embroidery alone has to be dozens of taels of silver.

"Please let the two masters come into the house!" A circle of attendants looked at each other and had to be reminded loudly.

Qian Xiancheng was awakened at this time, hurriedly let go of his hand, took his younger brother's hand and walked back, and at the same time, did not forget to point to the fish pond and the breeding farm: "Look at these, they were all made by Wen Jin, our family's life is good now." ”

He forgot that when Qian Xiancong left, the Qian family was still worry-free and peaceful.

Qian Xiancong recognized that this was Qian Chuan's husband's family, and there were too many doubts in his stomach, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

The brothers went into the upper room hand in hand, and the attendants were in a hurry, and soon had snacks and tea sets on the table.

Webster didn't have a chance to intervene at all, and the people boiling water and making tea in the kitchen were so crowded that she couldn't turn around, and she stood at the door of the upper room a little helplessly.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law!"

Qian Xiancong reacted first and hurriedly called Wei in.

"Second sister-in-law, you have helped me take care of Wen Jin all these years, Xiancong is so polite."

"How do you say this, the second uncle has tormented the concubine." Wei didn't know how to call himself in front of the little uncle, she didn't expect that the little uncle would become such a big official all of a sudden.

"Xiancong, you have suffered all these years!" After the initial excitement, Qian Xiancheng saw his younger brother's weather-beaten face, dark skin, and even the white hands that used to only hold a pen and polish ink, all black and thick, with prominent joints, like a fifty or sixty-year-old farmer in the village.

"It's hard to put into words!" Qian Xiancong thought of ten years of inhuman life, and couldn't help but redden, and then, he suppressed it and asked about the situation of his family.

Qian Xiancheng started from the rumor that the third brother died, and the old Jiao family waited for a year to split up, until Wen Jin and Wen Han learned to grow rice, raise fish, raise ducks, and talk about the miscellaneous things, and they talked dryly, so they explained why they moved to the mountain nest, how are they now, Wen Han is in the middle of the house, married, and Wen Jin is now going to the provincial capital to take care of the business. During this period, Wei also added a few words, after all, she was at home when she first planted rice, raised ducks, and turned eggs, and Qian Xiancheng only heard about it, so she couldn't tell it clearly.

Qian Xiancong didn't expect that so many things would happen to his family in ten years.

"When the family was separated, Qian Xiangui didn't say a few words for you? Aunt is cold and greedy for enjoyment, he, at that time, he fell out with you? ”

"Ahem-" Qian Xiancheng took a sip of tea, choked when he heard it, and coughed for a long time before he regained his breath.

"Don't mention that the money is expensive first, he is like a ghost possessed, first plotted against me, forced us to move to the mountain nest, and then entered the county government as a clerk, and then, more and more do not treat his brother as a brother......" Qian Xianxian was honest in not being able to say good things about Qian Xiangui, and told him about his plotting against his brother and forcing him to marry Wen Han until Qian Wenqian was divorced and remarried, and even adulterous and murdered her husband: "Third brother, you are not at home, I make my own opinion, and I will cut him off, aren't you angry?" ”

"Second brother, are you just going to break it off with him? A scum like this should be handed over to the county government again, and it is only right that he is exiled. ”

Qian Xiancheng admits that he still doesn't have so much courage to do things on his own.

"Second brother, in this way, you still don't know the evil things that Qian Xiangui has done."

"What does that mean? He, what else did he do? ”

"I'm in Western Xinjiang, I met the money first, he was exiled there as a military slave, when he saw me, he cried and cried that he was wronged, and I interceded for him, but I didn't expect Prince Ren to know him very well, and when he called up his file, he actually bought a murderer and wanted to kill Wen Han."

"What? Wen Han, is Wen Han in danger? Wei and Qian Xiancheng were taken aback, and even their faces became bloodless.

"You two don't even know anything? Wen Han was seriously injured and almost died, but he happened to meet his aunt and his fiancée, so he was rescued, he recovered his injuries at his aunt's house, and became a master for his cousin Lu Can, you don't know anything, right? ”

Wei Shi and Qian Xiancheng couldn't stand such shocking news, and the two of them sat dumbfounded like clay sculptures and wood carvings, and they couldn't even shake their heads.

Qian Xiancong could understand his brother and sister-in-law's mood at the moment, and he sighed: "Alas, I was also taken aback at the time, I really can't believe it." Prince Ren was afraid that the case was wrong, so he tried Qian Xiangui again, he denied it in every possible way at first, but it was full of flaws, the prince was angry, so he asked people to tie his hands and feet, and threw him in the snow for two hours, and then, put it on the edge of the brazier to roast, Qian Xiangui's frostbite was unbearable, his hands were tied, he couldn't scratch it, he couldn't help but recruit in the end, he, he actually believed what Lao Jiao said, he was not his father's son, but picked it up back then, he hated you better than him, and even because he took Wen Jin in, So as to live the life of a rich man, he still hates Wen Han for having a good life, he was promoted at a young age, he hates you the most because you have money, and you dare not give it to him, for him to enjoy the ......, oops, what he said, it was extremely frustrating, Prince Ren and the little school next to him were angry, and he was directly tied up and thrown out of the tent, and the western Xinjiang was cold, and he froze to death. ”

"Dead?"

"Hmm!"

Qian Xiancheng was in a complicated mood, her lips squirmed for a long time, and she didn't say a complete sentence, Wei was on the side, but she was better than him, she gritted her teeth: "I have never seen such a crazy villain who doesn't even recognize his parents, it's really innocent!" ”

The three of them didn't speak, their hearts were churning, and it took a long time for Qian Xiancong to change the topic: "Why is Wen Jin a girl?" ”

Qian Xiancheng and Wei were taken aback: "Who said she was a girl?" ”

"Someone told me that she must be a woman, and said that she didn't need a small maid, she was a maid with her, and she lived alone and would never have sex with anyone."

Qian Xiancheng and Wei Shi were stunned, yes, these are all right, but why do you say that she is a woman?

"Do you know Qian Jun? His foreign surname is Shen. ”

"Oh, Shen Jun, know, know!"

"He said it."

Qian Xiancheng and Wei Shi were dumbfounded, and after a long while, Wei Shi whispered: "He Shi is in Shiwei Village, it is better to call her to ask." "Hmm!" Qian Xiancheng's face was blank and expressionless, but his eyes showed deep disgust.

...
